Sword from the Immortal Mountain

Chapter 62: Half buried in the ground, a glimmer of hope

Junior sister Yun Ning's sudden departure became a small episode in Taoist Yun Cheng's disciple-taking ceremony, but it was not a big deal and the ceremony was not affected much. It still proceeded in an orderly manner and was completed.

From then on, Zhao Tianci, the young master of the Zhao family, became the registered disciple of Taoist Yun Cheng.

After the ceremony, a banquet followed.

Taoist Yun Cheng looked at the smiling face, but his mind was uncertain.

As the eldest disciple, he of course knew that his master had been in seclusion for many years, but he had his own reasons for doing so, because something had gone wrong in his practice.

This problem has become more serious since the beginning of the year.

Junior sister Yun Ning has always been a quiet and peaceful person, and she is not startled by anything, but her performance just now clearly showed that she was distracted.

Something must have happened.

But if something happened to the master, Yun Ning would have sent someone to call for help by now, but there was no movement.

After thinking about it, it is really strange.

He called his junior fellow apprentice Yun Yi and wanted him to take a look to see what was going on.

Yun Yi was also worried and went out immediately.

But after a while, he came back again.

There were two girls in Taoist robes as well.

One of them was Junior Sister Yun Ning;
But the other one looked much younger, with a childish and unfamiliar face.

Why is the Taoist robe she is wearing exactly the same style as Yun Ning's?
Yunshan Taoist Temple actually belongs to a sect. It has its own unique Taoist rules and regulations, and its clothing is also specially made with relevant logos embroidered on it.

To put it bluntly, anyone who can wear this Taoist robe is a fellow disciple.

So the question is, who is this girl?
Yun Ning held Chen Min's hand with one hand to prevent her from getting nervous in front of so many people in the hall, and walked over to introduce to Yun Cheng: "Big Brother, she is the little sister that Master just accepted."

Taoist Yun Cheng was startled, his mind obviously shaken.

Given Master's current situation, how could he accept another disciple?

Moreover, many years ago, when the master accepted Yun Ning, he had already said that Yun Ning would be his last disciple.

Why is the door open again now?
Everyone present was also in an uproar and was extremely surprised.

Among them, Butler Zhao and Zhao Tianci looked at each other in shock.

They recognized Chen Min and thought she was just an ordinary country girl. They even mocked her while going up the mountain.

I never expected that the other party would actually become the disciple of the master of Yunshan Temple.

In other words, she suddenly became Zhao Tianci's uncle.

What's this?

Taoist Yun Cheng calmed down. He certainly didn't doubt that Yun Ning would joke about such a thing. It was mainly because the incident happened suddenly and he was stunned for a moment. After reacting, he immediately smiled and greeted Chen Min: "Little Junior Sister, hello."

Chen Min smiled shyly and quickly bowed: "Hello, Senior Brother."

Then he bowed to Taoist Yun Yi and said, "Hello, Second Senior Brother."

Although she was born in a farming family and had not seen much of the world, she had learned a lot from her brother Chen Jin since she had been with him. With the encouragement of Senior Sister Yun Ning, she gradually overcame her inner timidity and put her own experience to use:

When dealing with people, be sweet-mouthed.

"well."

Yun Cheng and Yun Yi looked at each other and suppressed their doubts. They decided to wait until the evening when they had a chance to visit their master and find out more about the situation.

Yun Ning said with a smile: "Big Brother, Master said that he will not hold a ceremony when he accepts a disciple this time. I brought Junior Sister here today mainly because there are so many people here so that everyone can meet her and get to know her better. Okay, I won't disturb you anymore, you guys continue." After that, he took Chen Min away.

However, after this incident, how could anyone still have the heart to hold a banquet and eat and drink?
They were whispering to each other and talking a lot.

In Yunshan Taoist Temple, it was definitely a big deal that the abbot accepted a disciple again for the first time.

Some people think that it was Chen Min's extraordinary talent that inspired the temple master to accept him as a disciple;
Some people also speculated that this little girl of unknown origin might have some connection with the master of the temple, or perhaps she was the descendant of an old friend...

After all, the master of Yunshan Temple was also a legendary cultivator in his time, and had quite a following.

As for his cultivation of magical powers, he is even more outstanding.

Otherwise, it would not have been possible to occupy such a good place as Yunshan and develop the Yunshan Taoist Temple.

When monks fight for their principles and compete with each other in magic, they don't care about the etiquette of the world.

After this incident, Butler Zhao and Zhao Tianci, who had originally wanted to stay on the mountain for two or three days, suddenly felt very uncomfortable, took the initiative to resign, and started to go down the mountain.

In the Zhao family, Zhao Tianci was the most favored. He did not like studying. He learned martial arts when he was young, and later wanted to learn Taoism, so his family found Taoist Yun Cheng.

However, this young man has a lively personality and is not a stable person. He is just curious about new things.

And given his background, it was impossible for him to become a monk, so he just claimed to be a "registered disciple".

Originally this name was very impressive, but when compared with the one taught by the abbot himself, it immediately pales in comparison.

Zhao Tianci is proud and arrogant, and can't stand this.

But there was no way. The Zhao family could not interfere in the affairs of the Master of Yunshan Temple. They could only go down the mountain. Out of sight, out of mind.

When he reached the foot of the mountain, he saw his carriage in a mess, with the carriage broken, the wheels falling off, and the driver...

The driver Zhao Wu seemed paralyzed, sitting on the ground with a look of fear on his face.

When he saw the housekeeper Zhao and the young master coming down, he cried quickly, "Housekeeper, young master, you have to make the decision for me."

Butler Zhao was surprised and asked, "What happened?"

"When I saw the bald dog left on the donkey cart, I remembered your instructions, so I wanted to kill it. But I didn't know that the vicious dog was so ferocious that it not only bit me, but also damaged our cart."

Zhao Wu cried with tears and snot.

Snapped!
There was a crisp sound, but it was Butler Zhao who slapped him in the face, leaving bright and eye-catching marks: "You idiot, who told you to provoke other people's dogs? You are causing trouble all day long, I think you don't want to live anymore."

Zhao Wu was almost stunned. It was clearly the task assigned by the chief steward himself before going up the mountain, which was to kill a dog and eat its meat.

But now...

But since he could be a coachman, he was not really a fool after all, and he didn't dare to say anything.

……

"Master, you said there is a fire spring on the top of Yunshan Mountain?"

In the Taoist Palace room, Chen Jin's eyes flashed and he asked with interest.

The head of Yunshan Temple replied in a deep voice: "It is absolutely true. The Heart Fire Spirit that I cultivated was based on this Earthly Evil Fire Spring. However, there seems to be a terrifying monster guarding the depths of the fire spring. I dare not approach it, and can only secretly absorb the breath of the fire spirit from the periphery."

Chen Jin glanced at him and said, "So you built the Taoist temple halfway up the mountain, blocking the road, to hide this secret?"

"Yes, that is the Earthly Evil Divine Fire. Once the news spreads, it will definitely cause a great uproar. I wonder how many sects and cultivators will come to fight for it. By then, there will be a bloody storm all over Yunshan Mountain."

"Then why did you tell me?"

The abbot sighed and said, "I am half buried in the ground. The only one who can save me is you, Master Chen. In this case, why not tell me the truth? Maybe there is still a glimmer of hope."
