The road is vague

Chapter 200: Guardian Hall

The white jade chariot flew in the clouds at lightning speed.

The macaque puppet in front of the flying car is responsible for controlling the direction and automatically refilling the spirit stones.

As a magnificent mountain range appeared in the distant sky, a towering fairy mountain appeared between the mountains. The speed of the white jade flying car gradually decreased, and it approached together with other spiritual bird monks nearby.

After the white jade flying car stopped steadily at the flying boat station, he slowly walked out of it, and the flying car quickly shrank and was put back into the space ring.

The two boys on duty saluted respectfully.

"I've met my uncle."

"kindness."

After Li Mo nodded, he quickly left the busy Feizhou Inn and came to the back mountain, where his master Lu Qi's cave was.

"master!"

Lu Qi's cave was covered by thick clouds and fog. Li Mo stood in the cave formation and cast a sound transmission talisman.

Just a moment later.

A passage appeared in the thick clouds and fog, which was only wide enough for one person to pass through.

Li Mo walked along the passage and entered the formation. The Thunder Eagle King strode towards him, swaying from side to side.

"Senior Eagle King, this is a tribute to you!"

Upon seeing this, Li Mo immediately took out a medium-grade spirit stone.

After swallowing it in one gulp, the Thunder Eagle King patted Li Mo with its broad wings, as if taking care of a chick, and led Li Mo to the front of the cave and waited quietly.

After about one stick of incense.

In front of Lu Qi's gate, the spiritual light gradually dissipated.

"come in."

"Yes!"

Li Mo held his head high and chest out, entered the cave and looked at Lu Qi.

After not seeing each other for several years, for Li Mo, the sunrise and sunset every day are still vivid in his mind, but for Lu Qi, it was just a period of seclusion and meditation.

He looked radiant, energetic, and full of smiles.

Li Mo immediately knelt down and bowed to him.

"Disciple Li Mo, congratulations to Master for coming out of seclusion!"

"Haha, no need to restrain yourself."

After Lu Qi signaled Li Mo to relax, the two sat opposite each other on the futon. Lu Qi personally brewed a pot of spiritual tea. After Li Mo tasted it, his eyes suddenly lit up and he nodded with surprise.

"Master's spiritual tea is even more pure and spiritual than that of the old monster Tianhuo!"

"He's just a casual cultivator from the outer reaches of the Great Wall, with limited knowledge. How can he possibly make any good tea?"

Lu Qi was obviously very pleased with Li Mo's praise.

After he poured himself a sip, he nodded with satisfaction and looked at Li Mo again.

"Today, it's just you and me, master and disciple, here. Tell me honestly, do you have any complaints or dissatisfaction about your transfer to the Dharma Protector Hall?"

"Disciple has absolutely no complaints or dissatisfaction."

Li Mo remained calm and responded with integrity and force.

"Oh?"

A hint of surprise flashed across Lu Qi's face.

After Li Mo put down the spiritual tea in his hand, he looked thoughtful and then looked up at Lu Qi.

"I dare not lie to Master. In the past ten years in Bai'an City, I have indeed gained a lot. Not only have I gained in cultivation and state of mind, but also in personality recognition. The reason why Bai'an County has achieved such development over the years is not just because of my merits, but also because I have received the attention of Master and the court, which has enabled it to achieve such great development."

At this point, he took a deep breath.

"I have grown a lot because of this. If I want to build my hometown, I can not only do it myself, but also build it from above. Perhaps the contribution of one word and one action is enough to make up for ten years of hard work."

What Li Mo said came from the bottom of his heart.

"Furthermore, Master is absolutely right. The greater the ability, the greater the responsibility. When I was a child, I thought Shanbei Village was my hometown. When I was a teenager, I thought Hua'an Town was my hometown. When I was a young adult, I thought Bai'an County was my hometown. Now I think Anbei County is my hometown. Perhaps in the future, as I continue to grow, I will think of Muzhou as my hometown, and Daqian Kingdom as my hometown..."

Lu Qi listened carefully and was slightly moved.

Only after Li Mo finished speaking out his thoughts in one breath did he stroke his beard and look at Li Mo with a faint smile.

"But no matter what time it is, Lingmumen will always be your home."

"Yes!"

Li Mo nodded.

"Then do you know what is the most important thing for a sect's disciples?"

"Disciple doesn't know."

Lu Qi refilled Li Mo's spiritual tea.

Li Mo did not dare to be arrogant. He bent down and took the cup with both hands as a gesture of gratitude.

"It's the continuation of the inheritance. The most important task for each generation of disciples is to do their utmost to safeguard the sect's inheritance. This inheritance is divided into many aspects, including but not limited to the main cultivation method, secret techniques and magical powers, sphere of influence, cultivation resources, heritage heritage, and the sect leader's right to speak in the court..."

Lu Qi explained the importance of sect inheritance word by word.

In the current territory of Daqian, whether a sect's inheritance continues depends on whether there are cultivators in the Nascent Soul stage in the sect. This is the legal provision of Daqian. However, those small and medium-sized countries are in a relatively barbaric and disorderly state, and success or failure is determined by war.

In the Daqian Kingdom.

If a sect loses the protection of its Nascent Soul cultivators, then the sect will be judged to have lost its inheritance.

Other sects will then be able to plunder at will.

His disciples will also become independent practitioners, losing their support and fixed resources for practice, like lonely ghosts and rootless duckweed.

Those with high cultivation can become guest officials and worshippers of other sects, while those with low cultivation can only fend for themselves.

In just a few decades, as a large number of Qi-cultivating and foundation-building disciples passed away, this sect was completely wiped out in history.

Such incidents have occurred several times in the Daqian Kingdom.

Therefore, for the vast majority of sects, the strength of a sect does not depend on how glorious its heyday is, but on whether it can be resilient during its low period and whether it can wait for the emergence of a talented disciple of the sect and enter the next round of prosperity.

Otherwise, even if it is powerful for a while, it will eventually end quickly unless a cultivator who has reached the level of a god is born.

As Lu Qi narrated his story, Li Mo's mood changed subtly again.

It was as if he had gained an improvement in his state of mind after some realizations in the mortal world before. At this moment, he had a vague feeling that exploring the mysteries of history and understanding the general trend would also allow his state of mind to grow.

This seems to be the way for high-level monks to improve their state of mind.

"Disciple understands."

Lu Qi stroked his beard again and sighed meaningfully.

"This is why I always say that in the end, cultivation ultimately depends on one's realm. Do you understand?"

"Disciple... understand!"

Li Mo said solemnly.

Seeing Li Mo like this, Lu Qi showed a look of relief.

"Very good. You should report to the Dharma Protector Hall first and adapt to the life there as soon as possible. After you have established your foothold in the Dharma Protector Hall, I will assign you a task. If you have any questions in the Dharma Protector Hall, you can always ask your third brother Wei Cang for advice, or ask the Earthly Branch Fairy Wang Xiyue for advice."

"Yes!"

Li Mo stood up, bowed, and turned to leave.

Although Master Lu Qi did not say it explicitly, he had a vague feeling that this matter must be of great importance.

On Qingming Mountain, even a small matter is a big deal for Bai'an County.

If a major event happened on Qingming Mountain, it would be a major event for the entire Daqian Kingdom.

Li Mo was lost in thought all the way until he arrived at the Dharma Protector Hall and handed the official letter to the two gatekeepers on duty there.

"Uncle Master, please follow me."

After a while.

The gatekeeper brought Li Mo to the main hall of the Dharma Protector Hall.

Only then did Li Mo realize that there were many branch courtyards in the Dharma Protector Hall. There was also a low mountain similar to the Wudao Peak, which was enclosed in the Dharma Protector Hall. It was really incredible.

He had always thought that these courtyards shrouded by formations were the important places of the sect and outsiders were not allowed to enter without permission.

"Right."

Li Mo muttered in his heart.

"Even within the Alchemy Hall, there is a separate courtyard dedicated to alchemy, as well as a backyard with a large area of ​​spiritual fields, not to mention the Dharma Protector Hall."

Among all the branches of Lingmu Sect, the Dharma Protector Hall undoubtedly has the best conditions.

After a while.

The two walked out of the hall.

One of them was an old man with an immortal look, who looked somewhat like the acting leader Chen Shouyi. He had a childlike face and white hair, was energetic, and had cinnabar on his forehead, which made him look otherworldly.

This is obviously the head of the Dharma Protector Hall, Chen Heyan.

He held the whisk in his hand, looked at Li Mo, nodded slightly, and showed satisfaction.

The other person was a female cultivator. Li Mo had seen her up close once during the second-year year-end assessment at the Continuing Education Hall. She had cold, arrogant eyes and a look of disdain.

This person is none other than the deputy head of the Dharma Protector Hall, Jiang Wencai.

"Disciple Li Mo, greetings to Hall Master Chen and Deputy Hall Master Jiang. This is my transfer order."

"kindness."

Chen Heyan smiled slightly.

"I heard of your name several years ago during the regular meeting at the Qingming Hall. You are a hero who protected Bai'an City. It's true that a great teacher produces an outstanding student. If it weren't for the fact that you are Lu Qi's disciple, I would have transferred you to the Dharma Protector Hall long ago."

Li Mo immediately looked terrified.

"I am ashamed to accept this."

Chen Heyan smiled slightly and looked at Jiang Wencai next to him.

After Jiang Wencai briefly checked Li Mo's transfer documents, he returned them to Li Mo and nodded to him.

"Three days from now at noon, you must come here on time. The other four military formation instructors will conduct a basic assessment on you. Once you pass the assessment, you can officially take up the position of military formation instructor of the Dharma Protector Hall."

"Yes."

Li Mo bowed in response.

Then the two of them returned to the main hall, and Li Mo left the Guardian Hall.

He stood outside the yard and thought for a moment. Remembering that Wei Cang was still working, he sent him a message and then walked towards Cuixia Peak, where the cave of the Earthly Branch Fairy Wang Xiyue was located.

Li Mo now knows nothing about the Guardian Hall.

The Dharma Protector Hall is the center of the sect and the core of the sect.

The Dharma Protector Hall usually does not move, but any movement is a matter of life and death for the sect. Therefore, not only does the number of disciples there far exceed that of other halls, but they are all elite disciples from previous generations who have been practicing in seclusion in the mountains for a long time, and most of them have practiced health preservation methods. The proportion of cultivators in the foundation-building stage is also far higher than that of other halls.

With so many disciples in the Dharma Protector Hall, and the survival of Lingmu Sect at stake, the power system is naturally much more complicated than that of other halls. Even the two hall masters cannot make decisions on many things.

He could ask Master Wang from Cuixia Peak for the specific situation.

of course.

It would be best if he could find out some of his master's plans indirectly, so that he can act accordingly in the future.
