the first god

Chapter 365
"Brother, then try my trick again?"

Speaking of Taoist Lihuo, he slapped out his palm without killing intent, but the majestic force was overwhelming like a torrential river, and it was unstoppable.

"Okay, be careful!" Ma Yunteng hit back with a palm, and the two powerful palms collided together, and the wind of the palms scattered, and immediately razed the bamboo forest to the ground. The two were evenly matched, right? .

Suddenly, Taoist Lihuo's strength weakened and Ma Yunteng's palm knocked him away, and he flew upside down.Realizing that something was wrong, Ma Yunteng quickly withdrew his energy,

"Brother Lihuo, I'm sorry!"

Just as he was slowly falling down and wanted to help Taoist Lihuo up, Taoist Lihuo laughed loudly and flew away.
"Hahaha, brother, you are still too young to understand the truth of being a soldier! This time, you really don't have your share of good wine!"

Ma Yunteng didn't know that he was pulled by him, and he chased after him angrily.This time, he will definitely drink the wine in the Huoyun Temple to the bottom, and make him mad!

Ma Yunteng landed in front of the Huoyun Mountain gate, and Taoist Lihuo had been waiting here for a long time.

In this world, it would be regarded as an insult and provocation to fly over other people's dojo at will, and the sky above Fire Cloud Temple is also full of no-fly restrictions.Although accompanied by the host of the Huoyun Temple, it is better to enter through the mountain gate to show respect and avoid all kinds of unnecessary troubles. You can just enjoy the scenery of Huoyun Mountain along the way.

Huoyun Temple is located on the top of Huoyun Mountain. An ancient staircase with [-] steps leads directly to the gate of Huoyun Temple from the foot of the mountain.In front of the mountain gate, there are two tall welcoming pine trees on both sides. Immortals guide the way, and the ladder rises according to the situation.

"Brother, you still lost this time!"

"I just arrived at the gate of your mountain. We bet to see who will arrive at your Huoyun Temple first. How could I lose?" After the money fell, Ma Yunteng also learned his skills, and he seemed to refuse to accept his account. Although the rules of the game It is the view of Huoyun to see who arrives first, but the meaning of arriving at the mountain gate is the same as that of the gate.

"Okay, I'll let you lose heartily!"

The competition continues, climb the ancient road, and decide the male and female. The shadows of the trees are whirling to attract the wind, and the birds and monkeys are disturbing the tranquility.

This ancient road is the only way up and down the mountain, with a level of [-], and covered by dense jungle, it looks even deeper and more distant.It is an ordinary road on weekdays, and it is unremarkable. If it comes to the time when the Huoyun Temple selects talents, the entire ancient road will be covered with a coercion. Excellent people don't set up organs to stop them.

The really powerful guardian formation is within the Huoyun Temple, but the mountain gate is not too defensive. First, it welcomes guests from all directions, and secondly, the Huoyun Temple is not crowded. It is too laborious to guard the entire Huoyun Mountain. Delaying disciples' practice is not worth the loss.

Ma Yunteng and Taoist Lihuo put all their strength into it, shifting their shapes and shadows, like ghosts and shadows, with quick movements, from the bottom step to the top in the blink of an eye, concentrating on the mountain birds along the way. Lin Beast ignored it directly.

The two eventually arrive at the same time, regardless of the winner.

The fire cloud is here!
There is an oil-gold and ancient wood plaque hanging high on the tall mountain gate, on which the three characters "Huoyun Guan" are clear and eye-catching.

Two disciples of Huoyun Temple, dressed in plain silk and wearing crowns, held brooms in their hands and bent over to sweep the fallen leaves in twos and threes, standing on both sides.

Walking into the mountain gate, there is an open space. This is the place where disciples practice martial arts, Taoist Lihuo and others open altars to give lectures.The venue is vast, and it is not a problem to accommodate hundreds of people. This is not a day when the altar is open to preach and preach. There are not many pilgrims, and they are rustling.

This is also related to the remote location of the Huoyun Temple. There are people who come here to pray for gods, learn from teachers, and exchange martial arts. Warriors don't want to get a point or two from such an expert, but Taoist Lihuo always likes to be elegant, and there are not many disciples, only a few dozen disciples, and even servants, registered disciples, etc. are only a few hundred.

"Master, you are back!"

A disciple came out of the Gongde Shrine in front of the playground and saw Taoist Lihuo coming, he hurried over and bowed deeply.

His name is Yuan Chun, he is the eldest disciple of Taoist Lihuo, he looks simple and honest, he is stable, and has a gentle temper. Ma Yunteng has been to Huoyun Temple several times and has a good impression of him.

"Well, this time Macheng mainly stays with our audience for a few days and you go and prepare a good wing room!" Taoist Lihuo didn't say much, but the lines between the lines gave off a sense of dislike, as if deliberately trying to make him General expenses.

"Greetings, Senior Ma!"

"Long time no see, Nephew Yuanchun!"

Taoist Lihuo leads the way, and after bypassing the Gongde Temple, there is the main building of the Huoyun Temple lobby. The overall layout is like a three-step ladder shape, with well-proportioned heights.

Entering the lobby, another disciple greeted me with fragrant tea.

"I've heard about the reputation of Senior Ma for a long time, and it's my luck to meet you today..."

Ma Lao, a disciple of Taoist Lihuo, has seen it before, but this one looks really unfamiliar, he should be a new disciple of Brother Lihuo, but this person with a lotus tongue is really special, just this eloquence, sweet talk , Yuan Chun wants to be compared with others, but it is really too bad.

Seeing his beloved disciple coming and performing so well, Taoist Lihuo personally introduced him,
"Let me introduce, this is my new apprentice, Yuan Zhen. Do you know that he is a genius with a yellow-level talent. Brother, I picked up a treasure this time. Of course, it is far from you, brother. It's..."

Taoist Lihuo was eloquent and full of praise. If he hadn't said before that he met him by chance, Ma Yunteng would have suspected that the other party dragged him here just to introduce his little apprentice to him so that he could preach to him. Here comes the view.

"Master, praise, how can Xiaosheng's stupidity be compared with a genius like you, Senior Ma..."

Eloquent and clever, how many people would not like such Yuan Zhen but would like a dull Yuan Chun?Yuan Chun fell out of favor as it should be.

Let all the disciples retreat, Taoist Lihuo and Ma Yunteng began to boast and talk in the lobby, from the creation of Hongmeng to the future development, from the realization of practice to daily trivial matters, all-inclusive, like a torrential river Absolutely...

After chatting for a whole day, when Ma Yunteng returned to his room to rest, he overheard a few disciples chatting casually.
"What do you think master thinks, so partial to Yuan Zhen's little white-eyed wolf, that incident was caused by Yuan Zhen's troubles, senior brother helped him bear the crime and he bit him back, I really feel unworthy for senior senior brother. If it wasn't for the senior brother who devoted himself to supporting and taking care of him, Yuan Zhen would be regarded as highly by the master as he is today?"

"That's not true, the personality of the senior brother and the younger sisters among us, who don't know who doesn't know who doesn't know, if the senior brother goes out to pick quarrels and troubles, it is obviously Yuan Zhen who wants to stand out, but he can't beat the senior brother for help, and finally the senior brother helps him To resolve the crisis, he said that the brother was competitive. Hey, what a villain is hard to guard against!"

"It's fine to talk about it in private, if you let that guy Yuanzhen know, you will inevitably be tricked by him!"

When several disciples saw Ma Yunteng passing by, they stopped talking before they finished speaking, bowed to Ma Yunteng and left in a hurry.

...

Long nights, no heart to sleep.Ma Yunteng walked out of the room and went for a walk. When he passed the open space in front of the Gongde Temple, a figure caught his attention. He was hazy and could not see clearly.

The figure danced, the long sword was in the air, stabbing upwards, spinning sideways, and chopping downwards. The whole set of movements was like flowing clouds and flowing water, without a trace of real vitality, it was purely sword gestures.

Taking a closer look, it was Yuan Chun, a disciple of Taoist Lihuo!

"Sorry for disturbing senior's dream!" Seeing Ma Yunteng approaching, Yuan Chun hurriedly stopped the sword in his hand and bowed to him to express his apology.

In fact, Ma Yunteng's wing was quite far away from here. Everyone knew in their hearts that Mr. Ma came out for a walk to relax, and Yuan Chun was still so modest that people had to admire his etiquette.

"It's okay, I couldn't sleep, so I came out to relax. I happened to see someone practicing swords, so I can't talk about disturbing or not. Martial nephew, please continue."

This Yuan Chun is already in his early forties, but his cultivation has only reached the peak of the Cloud Sea Realm. Judging from his sullen look, he should stay here for a long time without breaking through.

Yuan Chun's sword shadow danced again, turning his arms sideways and sweeping forward from right to left. Just as he was about to change his move and continue the next move, he was transformed into a small bean-shaped sword by Ma Lao and pushed his elbow back. Pushing, Yuan Chun was stunned for a moment and realized that it was Ma Yunteng who was pointing at him, and realized that the hilt of the sword was spinning in the palm of his hand, changed direction and swept again from left to right.

Wonderful!

Although this last move is not as powerful as the full-strength attack I had prepared before, it is also similar in power. What's more, the unexpected effect brought about by this sudden change of move is really ingenious!
A set of ordinary moves in his hands can turn decay into magic with a little flick of Ma Lao, which makes people admire!

"Thank you senior for your advice, Xiaosheng has benefited a lot!" Yuan Chun once again bowed deeply to Ma Yunteng.

The journey of martial arts requires not only hard work and firm will, but also a person's talent and comprehension, and the emphasis on opportunities, just like a person who has been struggling in the mountains for decades is no match for a sudden enlightenment. It is even more helpful for a famous teacher to guide the way. After all, the experience and qualifications of the seniors are far superior to the rookies.

Of course, following the path that others have walked means wanting to find another path, and it will be much more difficult to surpass those who came from wild paths!

"The Liyan swordsmanship you have practiced emphasizes aura, which is like a torrential river, but the majestic aura in your sword moves is gone, and the stamina is insufficient, so the power cannot be exerted. I should feel more about it. s difference."

Yuan Chun continued to practice, and Ma Yunteng kept giving pointers on the way.After using it continuously, Yuan Chun felt that the sword moves seemed to be completely reborn. Personally, his understanding of this Liyan swordsmanship and even martial arts had deepened a lot, and the bottleneck that had been imprisoned for a long time faintly felt loose.

...

"Thank you, Senior Ma, for your kindness!"

"You don't have to thank me. This is what your master taught you and your personal hard work, talent, and hard work. Otherwise, even with my advice, you wouldn't be able to make such progress!"

"But the guidance of the seniors is still indispensable!"

The two stopped to rest and chatted.

"What do you think of your little junior brother Yuan Zhen? I heard from your junior brothers that he has stolen your master's favor and even threatened your status?"

"This is the result of my little brother's own hard work. He is talented and eloquent, so he naturally pleases Master, unlike me who is clumsy, who will only cause disasters for Master and make his old man unhappy. Naturally."

"Really? It's your truth, and you don't have any complaints in your heart?" Ma Yunteng looked at him incredulously, Yuan Chun looked sure, but Ma Lao caught the inadvertent loss in the corner of his eyes.

"Okay, I'm sleepy now, I'm going back to my room to rest first. Go to bed early too!" Mr. Ma walked towards the wing room alone, leaving Yuan Chun alone to dance to the moon.

"Okay, don't look! Come drink with me!" Passing by the gatepost of the Gongde Temple, Ma Yunteng met Taoist Lihuo who was secretly watching Yuanchun's side there, and saw two bottles of pine flowers drunk in his hand. She put a hand on his shoulder and pulled him away. I don't know how long he has been watching here.

"I just brought two jugs of good wine to drink with you, and I came out to look for you if I couldn't find you. Don't think too much!"

"Okay, okay, I understand!"

wing house roof,

Ma Yunteng and Taoist Lihuo sat side by side, holding an altar of pine flowers in their hands and drinking happily.

"Brother Ma, what do you think of Yuan Chun?"

"Average talent, hard work, simple personality!"

"Then do you think that I am too harsh on Yuan Chun and prefer Yuan Zhen when I treat Yuan Chun and Yuan Zhen?" Taoist Lihuo took a sip of strong wine and lay down on his back.

This time Ma Yunteng didn't directly answer his question, he held up the wine jar and bumped into him, he laughed a little, the relationship between the two is good, but there is a degree of relaxation, and you can't meddle in other people's affairs in this kind of matter Chores are not.

"If you don't answer, I will take it as your acquiescence. I know that many disciples under my sect hold grievances for Yuan Chun, and even you feel that my bowl of water is not fair, but some things are not just what some people want."

"This child Yuan Chun was raised by me, just like my own biological child. Others don't know what his character is like. I, as a master, don't know? He has a good character, but he is too kind and too thoughtful. Simple, just like me back then, if he is allowed to inherit, it may not be harming him." Taoist Lihuo said, falling into deep memories.

Taoist Lihuo was originally the elder of the Fire Worship Sect in Xuanyu Zhongzhou. After the death of the previous leader, he began to compete with another faction for the leader's position. In the end, he lost and Yan Yao became the leader. Disagreement with the current leader's political views, and thus far away from Zhongzhou, but the southern tip of this continent, set up his own sect, and established the Fire Cloud Temple.

And Yan Yao, in order to prevent himself from setting up a branch of the Fire Worship Cult in Yuanjing City not far from Huoyun Mountain, said on the surface that it was to help him spread the Fire Worship Cult, and even sent two direct line elders here, but in fact it was just for supervision. Myself, if I dare to have a slight change, I can cut off my own vein with an excuse.This kind of thing in the mortal court is similar to the exile of a prince who failed to seize the throne. People are swordsmen, and I am fish and meat!
