The Taoist ancestor is Cthulhu - Chapter 642

c643 At the foot of Songshan Mountain

Any force that wants to compete in the world cannot avoid Xuanmen.

Any force that wants to dominate the Central Plains cannot avoid Songshan.

At its peak, Songshan Taiyi Dao almost cleared all obstacles, destroyed the divine sect, took control of the Immortal Palace, led the Xuanmen, and conquered the world.

Even if they are jointly attacked by the ‘Demon Cult’, as long as the two elders of Songshan are still sitting on the thirty-sixth peak of Songshan, they will naturally not harm the foundation of Taiyi Dao.

After all, this is such a big deal. Isn’t it just that someone beat up the mountain gate and wiped out the inner and outer disciples? What’s the harm? Who among those who came out to join the immortal path has not broken down the mountain gate and killed them to the end of their generation? It’s extinct. If we continue to expand enrollment, people with two legs will not be everywhere. If the old ones don’t go away, the new ones won’t come.

Indeed, even the several generations of disciples in Mozhu Mountain have been slowed down, not to mention the behemoth Songshan. The original direct lineage of the Nascent Soul realm and above was scattered all over the place, and almost no trace was lost.

In addition, as the official ally of the Immortal Palace at that time, although the forces of the Immortal Palace were destroyed by the “Devil Cult” to destroy the core of Sanyuan and beheaded, they were still centipede insects, a huge force that was still alive and deeply entrenched in the local area. , south of Gen River and east of Duishan, they can still be called three major factions.

And the heads of these powerful families are not mentally retarded. The Demon Cult slaughtered Sanyuan not once or twice. Even if we can’t figure it out, can’t we guess who is behind it?

Therefore, in recent years, quite a few local separatist forces have taken refuge under Songshan Taiyi Dao Sect. After all, in the past, everyone still cared about Sanyuan’s face and Taifu’s skills, and did not dare to openly flirt with each other. But now that they are all in disgrace, and Songshan is short of people to buy, there is nothing to be afraid of! After all, if there is a chance, who wouldn’t want to be a fairy dog?

Ahem, in short, whether they share the same hatred with the enemy, or are forced to protect themselves due to the pressure of the Demon Cult to the west and the ‘Demon Cult’ to the north, the power of Songshan Taiyi Dao not only has not been shaken to its foundation, but has become more cohesive and integrated, and the two elders of Songshan have also been Inspired by the Mozhushan model, certain reforms were made.

Nowadays, on the Thirty-Six Peaks, there are gathered the legitimate sons and grandsons who were sent as hostages and overseas students by wealthy families from all over the country. Songshan does not interfere with the conquests and annexations of these powerful warlords, but as long as there are children in the family who go to school in Songshan, they are the families protected by Taiyi Dao. Even if they lose, they will be sent out of the country for the sake of Songshan, leaving a tacit agreement. Way back.

In this way, the previous cooperative alliance model with Sanyuan changed into the model of the Songshan family being the dominant alliance leader. As long as Songshan family said a word, the local warlords would have to stop fighting no matter how bloody they were. And whoever does not join Songshan and associates with other sects will naturally be besieged and suppressed by surrounding forces.

On the surface, Xuanmen is still joining forces to fight against the divine religion, but behind the scenes, the powers of the Central Plains supported by Songshan, the Gao family supported by Wangwushan, and the forces under the Shangqing Dao such as Hengshan Maoshan are fighting for hegemony in the world. , competing in the Central Plains. It was hard to tell the winner for a while.

Of course, there are pros and cons to this model.

The advantage is naturally that it can quickly absorb the local forces in the Immortal Palace, but the disadvantage, or it cannot be said to be a disadvantage. It’s Songshan’s admissions system that’s completely gone astray.

In the past, the master-disciple inheritance of Xuanmen would be affected by the influence of the disciples of the cultivation family, but the disciples born in the two classes of nobles and common people would basically remain half and half, to prevent the sect from being controlled by a certain family, which would cause outbreaks from time to time. some healthy or vicious competition.

But nowadays, Songshan has killed and injured too many juniors at once, and there is no time to select disciples from the common people. Instead, it has taken the initiative to incorporate the remaining forces of the Immortal Palace, basically relaxing the standards. The family members are trying hard to grab a spot in Songshan to protect themselves, so that now more than 90% of the newcomers are descendants of aristocratic families. People born as commoners are not accepted at all unless they have amazing talents, or are adopted as adopted children or book boys. Immortal Gate’s chance.

“Oh, so you want me to pretend to be a member of a wealthy family, sneak into Songshan Mountain, and steal the spaceship?”

Qiongying understood.

Fatty Tang said, “Aren’t you just a son of a wealthy family? How can you pretend to be so?”

Blind Yang said, “That’s not something from Songshan in the first place. It’s not considered stealing, it can only be considered picking up.”

It seems so…

But Qiongying was still a little confused, “But how did you know that there was an extraterrestrial spaceship under Songshan Mountain?”

Fatty Tang, “What’s the matter? We’ve eaten more salt than you’ve eaten rice, of course we know.”

Qiongying didn’t understand, “What’s the connection? I didn’t eat much rice before, just a small bowl.”

Fatty Tang, “…”

Blind Yang smiled and said, “There is nothing to say. Our Luo Jiao attacked Songshan Mountain back then, but the Xuanmen blocked it from both sides, and the Immortal Palace was surrounded on all sides. Time was tight, so we just robbed and then withdrew. That day, the flying boat was so big , I won’t be able to move them away for a while, God knows where these two old beasts got them from.”

Qiong Ying is not stupid, “You are not just targeting Feizhou, are you also trying to steal something else along the way?”

“It’s picking up! It’s picking up!”

Oh, just pick it up…

So the blind boy, the fat boy, and the boy left the valley and rode on the clouds to Mount Song. The blind fat man taught Qiong Ying some tricks of the Luo religion along the way, and also picked up some clothes from everywhere to salute, and also picked up a mule cart. By the time they reached the foot of Songshan Mountain, the three of them were no longer dressed in unorthodox ways.

Fatty Tang shrank his figure and turned into an ordinary servant leading a mule. Blind Yang still pretended to be a blind old servant and rode in the carriage. Both of them had pushed their cultivation to the realm of golden elixir, while Qiong Ying changed her clothes and wiped her hands. Face, the lady hiding in the carriage is acting as a refugee.

Just after entering the boundary of Songshan Mountain, I could see the green mountains among the clouds in the distance, and there were monks who came down from the clouds to inquire.

“Wait a minute, the monks in the Golden Core Realm want to register in the mountain. Do you have a Taoist ultimatum? Who is in the car! Come down and check!”

Blind Yang explained based on the false background of colluding with Qiongying in advance,

“Immortal Rong, we are the slaves of the Wei family in Luo County. My young lady is the daughter of the Du Ling Wei family. Because Luo County was captured by rebels, we specially escorted the young lady to seek refuge with me.”

The patrolling disciples in Songshan didn’t believe it for a moment when they saw the carriages they were dressed in, but it was probably a chaotic situation to avoid being noticed, so they asked one more question.

“That’s right if you say so. Whose name is it? Do you have proof? Who is the person who surrendered?”

When he saw such a thorn in his side, Fatty Tang raised his head, preparing to look at the blind man’s look and act.

At this time Qiongying said in the carriage,

“My concubine, Wei Lian’er, is the daughter of the governor of Gennan Road in Sizhou. Her mother is the Boling Cui family and the grandson of Honglu Shaoqing.”

When he heard that the Du Lingwei family, the Boling Cui family had such a big name, and the governor, Shaoqing came out, the mountain patrol disciple also knew that most people couldn’t pretend, and he broke out in a cold sweat.

“Oh oh oh, please please please…”

Seeing the disciple who was patrolling the mountain being arrogant in front and respectful in the back, he hurriedly opened a sign indicating that he was allowed to pass and flew away. Fatty Tang also laughed.

“How can you pass the test so easily? I’m worried that I’ll have to do something if I’m found out? You really dare to make such nonsense.”

Qiongying shrugged, “How could you see through this? I am actually the daughter of Webster. Sister Lian’er is about the same age as me. She was raised in her boudoir and has never been married. She has never been seen by outsiders. Pretending to be her will not arouse suspicion. of.”

Fatty Tang wondered,

“The Wei Cui family is one of the top families in the world. They have branches and leaves, a tree with deep roots. With such a background, there is no one to take it in. How can you and that demon… be born and practice with your master?”

Qiong Ying held her chin, “That’s Sister Lian’er’s, not mine. She is a noble girl from a famous family. She is naturally beautiful. She is loved by everyone and has flowers blooming. Everyone said that if the Immortal Palace was still there, the family would have to give it to her. She entered Ziwei Palace to compete for favor.

I’m nothing, I’m just a concubine’s daughter. Not to mention my father, many of the maids in the house don’t even recognize me. It’s great if the master is willing to take me in. Why should I care about anything else. ”

Blind Yang smiled and said, “Then do you think it is better to be born as an immortal, or to enter the palace and become a queen?”

Qiongying didn’t hesitate at all.

“Of course it’s about cultivating an immortal. It’s freedom, longevity, and eternal youth. I won’t change it for any number of immortal emperors.”

The two Luo Jiao men laughed loudly after hearing this.

“Oh, Immortal Emperor, you still want to find a few more.”

“This girl is truly a person of my faith.”

While chatting and laughing, the group of people arrived at the foot of Mount Song. There was originally a town at the foot of Mount Song to house the family records of disciples. Over the years, there have been many sects and many immortal palaces and flying islands have been left, and they have become more prosperous towns.

However, Songshan and Mozhushan are different in the end. They focus on cultivating immortals and have no time to increase productivity for mortals, so they are just like ordinary Central Plains cities.

Of course, it was still very novel for Qiongying, a housebound lady. After checking into the inn, she changed into men’s clothes and went shopping with the two old Luo Jiao men.

Well, she thought she was going shopping, but two old guys took her to watch a murder.

In the middle of the town, there is a large earthen flat that looks like a ring. Master Songshan in black and yellow robes presides over the magic circle in the stands of the magic altar. Several pairs of people from all walks of life were fighting each other in the ring, while onlookers from the outside were watching and applauding. This scene is a bit like what Qiongying saw at home, where the brothers were fighting crickets and the sisters were watching.

It’s just that the crickets who fight, fight, and die tragically in the ring are all humans. Most of these people are in the realm of Qi refining and foundation building. Some are in the martial arts world, and some are soldiers and bandits. Their swords are bloody, and they kill with every move. Their attacks are ruthless and ruthless. Their chops leave flesh and blood flying everywhere on the ring, and there are corpses everywhere. Limbs and arms were broken, heads rolled around, and intestines and hearts fell everywhere.

Fatty Tang smiled and said,

“This is a process of selecting hard workers in the mountains. Those who survive in the end can join the mountains and work as slaves. They can also use some martial arts pills and have the opportunity to be promoted to be strongmen and protectors. Maybe they can even become a Taoist couple and become an outsider. Enshrining is not necessary, it is still a path to immortality.

In the past, there was usually no shortage of people in the mountains, and this position had to be fought for. Now there are so many masters and ladies up there that even the servants are in short supply, and we can’t ask those weapon spirits or real people transformed from mythical beasts to take care of these juniors, so recently We are always recruiting people. ”

Qiong Ying couldn’t help frowning, “But I heard that servants from wealthy families are second to none. The key is to know the basics and be loyal, otherwise they will bring trouble into the house. Servants from serious families have been employed for several generations, and they are capable Do you recruit people so randomly?”

Blind Yang nodded, “Yes, of course, these people must obey the curse of the elixir and sign a life-and-death contract to control them when they enter the mountain. And some of the old Xuanmen have to work as slaves for ten or twenty years to polish their temperament into a family dog.” Teach them the method of cultivating immortals.

Songshan also lost a lot of people at the beginning and the seats were vacant. And like you said, they don’t dare to let the young masters of the cultivating families go up the mountain with too many close servants, lest someone actually sneaks into the mountain to cause trouble and cause trouble, so they might as well unify the servants under the sect. Prepare.

But this is our chance. Look over there. ”

Qiongying turned around and saw some young women queuing up to be examined. There was no need to draw a knife to fight for a spot, but they had to look good and have some qualifications.

Qiongying was speechless, “I thought I was being asked to join Songshan Mountain as an outer disciple, but how come I was asked to be a maid?”

Fatty Tang laughed again, “You are quite smart and have a good mind, but why can’t you figure out the key.

If you really want to worship someone in the inner sect, then you are a serious Taoist disciple. If you reach the sky in one step, you will be issued with an ultimatum and the eighth generation of your ancestors will be traced!

What is your identity and background? The true king of Xuanmen has taken a serious look at you and counted you among them. Can’t you see it if you are blind?

How about you hit someone’s gun by yourself, and let someone catch you by Xuanmen, and beat him to death on the spot as a remnant of the demon sect? ”

Blind Yang handed Qiongying a talisman,

“Don’t be afraid, it doesn’t matter. Everyone in the mountains has their eyes set high above their heads, and they never turn a blind eye to the ants at their feet. The more trivial matters of the sect that have nothing to do with them, the more no one pays attention to them.

The skills you cultivate are strange and the state of the golden elixir is high, but I can’t sense your ability. If you swallow my talisman with water, within a day, as long as a master-level mathematician is not here to check you in person, I can’t see your true identity. ”

Qiongying was still hesitant, so Blind Yang said again,

“It’s not that difficult. The flying boat is not in their forbidden area. It’s just that they entered the mountain through their identity to make things easier.

After you sneak in, we will naturally follow you and help you secretly. If anything goes wrong, we will definitely pick you out. Besides, your master is very powerful, will he leave you alone? ”

Qiongying couldn’t help it. His master seemed to be too troublesome, and his disciples were all left to others, so acting coquettishly was probably of no use.

I had no choice but to swallow the talisman with water, and then queue up with those people to choose the maid.

Fortunately, Qiong Ying’s usual treatment at home is similar to that of a maid. Usually her sister doesn’t want to see her, and she hangs out with those maids. She really knows the secret of choosing a maid.

As a maid, of course she doesn’t have to cut wood and burn water to do physical work, but she does have to sew and mend, serve people with tea and water, and being able to read and write is also a bonus. Good calligraphy can help you read and study with her, which can earn you many months. money.

Moreover, the maid must not be too beautiful or dress up too eye-catchingly. She will not know who is serving whom, and it will easily upset the hostess. Of course, it is too ugly and can easily annoy the male host, so it is best if it is mediocre, eye-catching, and does not stand out from the crowd.

Of course, the most important thing is to have a clean resume. No one wants to recruit a gangster, so Luo Jiao went undercover to cause trouble at the mountain gate.

Although there were some deviations from the previous plan, there were so many people in Wei’s house, and Qiong Ying could actually make up another excuse for her in the blink of an eye.

“Lian’er of the slave family, my father is Wei An, the steward of the Wei family in Luo County. He has been studying with Miss Seventeen since he was a child. A few days ago, my grandmother fell ill and asked for leave to go home to visit. Unexpectedly, she escaped a catastrophe and suffered two injuries. With the help of an uncle, he fled to Songshan Mountain for refuge.

But now Luo County is trapped by the rebels, and I don’t know how the lady is doing, woo woo woo…”

Although it was used as an excuse, Qiong Ying actually burst into tears while talking. After all, they were all old acquaintances she had known for many years. When she thought about it carefully, some moments of getting along with each other always came to mind and she couldn’t help but shed tears.

The Songshan female cultivator who selects and employs people is quite amiable. Seeing that this little girl is only so old, it is quite pitiful to have been born in troubled times and suffered. UU Kanshu www.uukanshu.net After a rough calculation, what he said was true, he nodded and comforted,

“Don’t be sad. The world is unpredictable, and there will always be a day like this. Only by entering the Immortal Sect can you escape from this calamity.”

Then the mage turned to the boy beside him and said,

“Since she is an official and the best servant she has ever been, it would be easier to teach her the rules and give her a sign.”

“Wait a minute.”

Qiong Ying just breathed a sigh of relief, and her heart started to rise again when she heard the voice. Before she could raise her head, she smelled a burst of fragrant aroma, and then a beautiful figure jumped into her eyes like a beating flame.

Taking a closer look, this is a fairy in a red dress and golden hairpin. She is exactly the same, wearing a splendid robe with red rosy hair, a cherry mouth with plump lips like cinnabar, rhinoceros teeth and white teeth as clear as jade, and peach dimples like plum blossoms intoxicated by the spring breeze. Her beauty is unparalleled in the world.

“Meet Xianniang.”

All the monks saluted, and the fairy lady in the red dress waved her hands and turned her eyes towards Qiong Ying.

“Can you read?”

Forced by such a beautiful woman, Qiongying could not help but lower her head and answer quietly,

“Know more.”

“Read a book?”

“Stay with the lady and read some…”

“What are the Nine Virtues?”

“Broad yet firm, soft yet upright, willing yet respectful, chaotic yet respectful, disturbing yet perseverant, straight yet gentle, simple yet honest, rigid yet formidable, strong yet righteous…”

Qiongying answered subconsciously, then froze for a moment, realizing that it was not good, and was blown away by someone else.

Generally speaking, a young lady from an aristocratic family can read some poems and learn some etiquette, which is reasonable, but who will teach you how to memorize books? How much more can a maid understand this?

Fortunately, the female cultivator didn’t care, but smiled with satisfaction and said,

“It’s not bad. Follow me back to Zhulian Waterfall. I’m in need of a boy to help me.

Be obedient, and you may be destined to become my disciple in Songshan Mountain! ”

Then, without waiting for Qiongying to refuse, he made a move and lifted up a cloud of red clouds, directly taking her to the sky!
