Chapter 404: Entering and saving
Maoshan, with its huge mountain gate standing tall.
Compared to the Yunwu Sect, the houses here are more majestic and grand. The buildings inside the sect stretch out continuously and cover a vast area. It is one of the rare large sects in the world.
As one of the six giants of the Taoist Alliance.
It is one of the three sects that emerged from the true Taoist sects of the past. The Shangqing Sect has an unimaginably profound heritage.
A large group of disciples were walking around, and the temple was crowded with people.
"Brother Wushen, the meeting has begun. Hurry to the sect square!"
A clear voice like a lark sounded, and a little girl with a delicate face and wearing a Taoist robe shouted at a peach tree.
The tree is extremely thick, like a small house, and there is even a monument next to it.
Inscribed: [Panlong Wood]
"Brother, why are you sleeping on the Panlong tree again? Be careful if Master finds out or he'll punish you by making you chop all the firewood in the ten firewood rooms! And fill up the entire sect's water supply!"
The little nun kept yelling at the tree.
"Stop calling me little aunt!" A head popped out from the dense treetops. The man had a short bun, wore a black Taoist robe, and had a lazy expression on his face.
The little nun's voice suddenly stopped, and she couldn't take her eyes off Qing Ge's handsome face on the tree.
"Are you afraid that others won't know that I, your senior brother, have violated the sect's rules?"
"Don't shout, don't shout, I almost found it!"
"This tree really can bear peaches. I told you I wasn't mistaken. When I find a peach, I'll give you one to try!"
After Qing Ge finished speaking, he put his head back into the door and continued searching relentlessly.
"Brother Wushen, you've said this for a long time. Uncle Daoxuan said that this tree became extinct hundreds of years ago and mutated. Otherwise, how could a peach tree grow so big?" The little Taoist nun puffed out her cheeks.
"This is a serious matter. If you don't stop, you'll probably be punished again. I won't care about you anymore!"
Even though she said that, the little nun still didn't give up on Taoist Qingji. She walked back two steps, suddenly squatted down, picked up a small stone, aimed at the shaking tree canopy and threw it out.
With a "whoosh" sound.
"Ouch~"
A figure fell down in a mess.
"Let's go, let's go!" The little nun immediately ran forward and grabbed Qing Ge's clothes and refused to let go.
"Auntie, there's really nothing I can do about you."
Qing Ge covered a small bump on his head and had no choice but to follow him towards the door, muttering: "Impossible, then I must have eaten peaches, how come there are none here..."
He looked young, but when he passed by, the Shangqing Sect disciples around him all bowed respectfully and called him "Senior Brother Wushen" or "Senior Brother Zhao".
Surprisingly, this unremarkable young man with a good-looking face is actually the current eldest brother of Shangqing Sect and the most powerful candidate for the sect leader's closed disciple.
——Zhao Wushen.
In fact, he is fully qualified to be the contemporary successor of Shangqing Sect.
Ever since he suddenly became enlightened at the age of thirteen, Zhao Wushen has defeated all the disciples of his generation.
However, when the sect leader planned to accept him as a disciple, he would rather die than obey, and instead worshipped an unknown old Taoist priest in the firewood room as his master. After that, he became more and more lazy, and neither went down the mountain to fight nor participated in the martial arts competitions within the sect.
He had nothing to do all day long and loved to sleep on the Panlong tree, which was strictly prohibited from climbing by the sect. He violated the sect rules many times and was punished by the old Taoist priest.
Almost every time, one could see this eldest brother carrying water up from the foot of the mountain, or returning from logging in the back mountain.
During this process, his true energy was restricted, and he was always so tired that he cried for his parents.
Gradually, Zhao Wushen seemed to have become a marginal figure in the sect. Only his youngest sister always liked to follow him around, and was willing to actively restrain her true energy and accompany him to fetch water and chop wood.
When Zhao Wushen arrived at the square, it was already full of people.
When he saw the old Taoist priest in the front wearing a purple robe and with a strange face, he secretly said that something was wrong and quietly pulled his junior sister aside.
"I'm afraid this is a big deal. If we're asked to go down the mountain to exorcise the ghost, you must remember to throw a tantrum, cry and make a fuss, and ask the uncles and aunts to transfer you to my group. Do you understand?"
The little nun was very happy to hear this, and she smiled so hard that her eyes narrowed into two crescents.
"I know, brother~"
After everyone gathered, the old Taoist priest who had been in seclusion in the back mountain for dozens of days announced a bombshell news: except for the Taoist boy who had no cultivation skills, all the people in the clan had to go down the mountain!
Even Zhao Wushen, who had expected this, suddenly tightened the laziness on his face and turned serious.
