From a Zhengyi Taoist Child to a Master of All Laws

Chapter 349 Only in This Mountain

It is now May 16th, and there are still more than 20 days until the college entrance examination.
The video is short, only three minutes.

The content of the video is also very simple. It just tells a story about a person who cannot find a hermit, and a person who has a destiny to become an immortal goes through many hardships and finally gets what he wants.

The entire video does not even contain any Taoist magic, and the much-anticipated Li Zhenjun and Chi Zhenren did not appear in the video. There is no Qingcheng Taoist Temple promotional video with its gorgeous ceilings and golden lotuses emerging from the ground, nor is there the old Taoist of Suzhou Taoist Temple teaching scriptures and all kinds of magic competing for glory.

But after the video ended, the whole class fell into silence.
"Plop, plop!"

That was the sound of dozens of people's heartbeats, and the temperature in the already hot class in May suddenly rose.

"Looking for mountains in dreams, the mountains are longer than dreams! The name of the promotional video is "Looking for Mountains in Dreams."

"Is he trying to tell us that as long as we stick to our original intentions, we can get what we want?"

"Is this a question of original intention? Even if my original intention is firm, is it possible that Baiyun Taoist Academy will really accept me?"

"Hey, be careful with your words. You can't get in, but I'm here. I declare that in a few years, Baiyun Taoist Academy will become my alma mater!"

"Get lost, no one will accept you. You masturbate every day and your vital energy is completely drained, so no one will accept you!"

The classroom gradually regained its quietness, and then began to make noise and jokes.
Although it was a joke, a seed had been planted in their hearts.

They are already thinking about it, and if they think about it, someone will do it.

Chen Li lay on the table, looking at the people who were playing tricks in the classroom. Her eyes wandered and finally stopped on Wang Shuhuan who was sitting at the table in front of her.

Wang Shuhuan looked at the projection screen which had gone black and murmured in a low voice:
"There is a magical power between heaven and earth. It has been said for thousands of years. I had the chance to see it, but I didn't cherish it. If I have another chance, I will definitely hold this power in my hands."

The knuckles of the fingers clenched into fists turned white from exerting too much force; the voice was faint and light, but full of determination.

Chen Li's heart was moved, and then she slowly fell on the table.

"Looking for mountains in my dreams..."

On May 16, Baiyun Mountain’s enrollment promotion video was officially released on the official websites of major media outlets.

The name of the video is "Searching for Mountains in Dreams". Its cumulative number of views exceeded 100 million within just three hours of being online, and it quickly became a hot search term.

A village in southern Sichuan.

This is a very remote place, located in a barren mountain, with very little contact with the outside world. The only modern features are the incandescent lamps in every household and a overhead TV in the home of villager Liu Dabao.

The TV was a very old brand, like a bulky cube. A dozen men in plain clothes gathered in a circle in front of the flickering white screen.

They were all dressed in simple and crude farmer's clothes. Some were tall, some were short, some were fat, some were thin. But without exception, their skin was extremely dark from working in the fields for many years.

The strange thing is that there are strange flame-like patterns on their exposed skin, and most of them have shriveled and blackened left thumbs, as if they were just the fingers of a mummy found in a cemetery and sewn on, which looks a bit weird.

In the middle of them, sitting on the sofa was a boy who looked like a street thug, with colorfully dyed hair and eyebrow and earrings.

"Boss, do you really want to take this risk?" Liu Dabao, who always behaved fiercely and domineeringly in front of outsiders, now stood beside the bad boy like a quail, his tone full of worry.

"Yes, Boss, we just need to wait here quietly. According to the prediction of the last venerable, in a few years, God will come to the world to settle the sins of the world. That will be our home ground."

In his hand he was rubbing a twenty-centimeter-tall white monkey, which in turn was holding a black ancient sword. The bad boy looked at these fools who were using the last generation of venerables to pressure him, and his expression was unfriendly.

Damn it, I've been running this business for so many years, and these idiots are still thinking about that guy who died eight hundred years ago.

Although he was unhappy in his heart, the bad boy did not show it on his face. Instead, he said with a cheerful face: "As the saying goes, knowing yourself and the enemy can lead to victory in every battle. If we stay in this place all the time, even if God comes to the world in the future, he will not like our cowardly behavior."

"If I can learn the true method of Baiyun Mountain and know their weaknesses, and offer them to God in the future, I can also eliminate a powerful enemy when God settles the sins." Liu Dabao hesitated: "But this is too risky..."

"What? Are you worried that I can't enter Baiyun Taoist Temple?" The bad boy's eyes turned cold, and Liu Dabao immediately became silent.

The men looked at each other, but ultimately no one refuted.

The bad boy stood up with satisfaction, holding the little white monkey in his arms, and looked towards the distant mountains.
"I searched for the mountain in my dream, but it was only in this mountain, so deep in the clouds that I didn't know where it was."

"This is an unprecedented opportunity for the immortals in China. It just so happens that these opportunities are what I like the most..."

The bad boy sneered, his colorful hair swaying in the wind, and in his hand, a golden sword ball was spinning...

A courtyard house in the capital.

This is a quadrangle courtyard in Shangjing Temple, a standard "front hall and rear bedroom" style with five courtyards.

In addition to the rockery garden, the most eye-catching thing is a ginkgo tree over 20 meters tall planted in the yard.

Ginkgo trees are known to grow very slowly, and it is said that they take a thousand years to grow into a tree. The branches and leaves of this ginkgo tree are like a crown, just like a canopy covering the entire courtyard.

The garden furnishings may seem ordinary, but they are actually a highly accomplished Feng Shui formation. The glittering canopy makes everything in the entire courtyard feel noble.

At this time, the ginkgo trees are still shady and green, looking vibrant.

Under the ginkgo tree, a white-haired old man lay on a recliner with his eyes closed, meditating. The rise and fall of his chest was very faint between his breathing.

Next to him was an old Taoist with thick beard and a hibiscus crown on his head.

"Mr. Xie, the promotional video for Baiyun Taoist Temple is out, it's called "Searching for Mountains in Dreams"

Hearing the sound, the old man slowly opened his eyes, and his cloudy eyes gradually showed a bright light.

Taking the phone from the bearded old man, the old man put on his reading glasses and clicked on the video. His brows were sometimes furrowed and sometimes relaxed.

"Our Li Zhenjun's style of doing things is indeed hard to understand..."

Mr. Xie smiled and handed the phone back to the bearded Taoist.

Without commenting directly on the content of the video, General Xie's eyes stayed on the old Taoist: "Master Chi Ming, now almost all the innate Taoist masters of various lineages in China are in the Taoist temple, waiting to accept disciples and pass on the incense, enjoying the respect of the world... Will you blame me for making you only a shadow in the capital?"

Mr. Xie's eyes were full of vicissitudes. Chi Ming glanced at him and then looked away.

Mr. Xie is already very old. He witnessed the founding of China with his own eyes. He had originally stopped caring about worldly affairs, but when the spiritual energy was revived, he came out of retirement and worked hard to plan and witness China's spiritual energy development policy.

This old man still stubbornly refused to accept the Taoist Alliance's offer to extend his life. In the past two years, he had difficulty moving and often stayed in this courtyard, as if he would pass away at any moment.

Facing this old man, Chi Ming dared not talk about his grievances.

"Mr. Xie, you are joking. If it weren't for Mr. Xie providing the resources, with my qualifications, it's still unclear whether I can achieve innate cultivation now."

"Besides, I already have some idea about the inheritance of the incense."

Elder Xie smiled, full of kindness: "Is it the girl named Xia from Yuanjun Temple on Yaji Mountain?"

Chi Ming's face trembled, and then he smiled bitterly: "I knew I couldn't hide it from you, Mr. Xie."
