Chapter 3 The Taoist of Qishan

This yard is the first time that people have seen such a prospect. How could they imagine that a person could fly around like this in the sky?

Zhou Jin bowed his hand and said to Zhou Da, "Brother, brother is incompetent!"

"Oh!" the squire immediately came over and said with a smile: "I just said that when I was playing with Mud, Zhou Da was the most powerful. I said he would have endless blessings. Is it true that I said it was right?"

"Yes!" the old man also said quickly: "I watched you grow up. Zhou Da is indeed the most outstanding among you. Otherwise, how could he give birth to such a good son?"

"Yeah yeah!"

The aunts and ladies around also praised Zhou Da, saying that the couple's talented men and beautiful women were far from comparable to those of the village men like them. Zhou Ziling's future will definitely be the most promising one. Zhou Da can live his old age, etc. Wang was a little confused. She was still sad for her son to leave her and had no interest in caring about this. She was upset when those who expressed their intention to meet her family said that she was upset.

Wang said impatiently: "Are you annoying? Can you let me be quiet for a while?"

"Yes! Yes! Yes!" The women quickly stepped back, and one of them praised: "It's just a blessed person. He is powerful without anger, and he is indeed extraordinary!"

Wang was immediately amazed and laughed. She was very honest and was overwhelmed by such a scene.

Zhou Jin glared at his wife fiercely. Unfortunately, according to the rules, she gave birth to a son and had no relatives, so her wife could not rest, and Zhou Jin had no choice but to say to Zhou Da: "Brother, go to the account room and get ten acres of land, one hundred stones of grain, and one hundred taels of silver. But in those years, I couldn't get compensation for the grain!"

Zhou Da didn't know anything and said quickly: "Thank you, brother!"

Zhou Jin nodded and said lightly: "I am in poor health, so I lost my companion!"

After saying that, Zhou Jin was helped by his servants and returned to the room. Zhou Da hurriedly took Wang to the Zhou family's account to get the land deed and silver. The Squire Li hurriedly walked over and said, "Zhou Da, I see that your house is dilapidated. Let's do this. I have a house in the east of the city, and it's empty anyway. Why not just live there for you. Don't be polite, if you have money, you must find a place to live first if you want to build a new house!"

"Then I'll thank Sir Li!" Zhou Dagong bowed, and was not polite, so he accepted the house.

Wang said worriedly: "It's not good for us to accept his things like this, right?"

"What are you afraid of?" Zhou Dazhi said proudly: "As long as my son is still in Qiyun Mountain, you don't have to worry about these guys turning against each other. Don't worry, it's okay!"

When Zhou Da was in high spirits, Zhou Ziling had already arrived at Qiyun Mountain. Elder Zhou Ziling threw it on the floor and closed the door with his backhand. Zhou Ziling was stunned. Then he remembered that now, pedophiles are the "hobby" of many nobles. This old Taoist priest would not be so good, right? Then he would be in great trouble!

The elder took a stool and sat down, and said to Zhou Ziling: "Come here and get to your master. Kneel three times and kowtow nine times. You will be spared!"

Zhou Ziling quickly knelt down in front of the elder and kowtowed to the elder a few times. The elder nodded, smiled with satisfaction, and said slowly: "Get up! My surname is Qi, and this is Qishanguan. On this mountain, you and me are the two of you. Don't feel bored, I have always been excluded by the sect. I didn't expect that they sent me down the mountain this time and actually asked me to pick up the treasure! You are practicing Taoism on this mountain, don't run around. It's not that I didn't remind you that you can't enjoy the treatment here in other places."

Zhou Ziling nodded and asked, "Master, I'm studying!"

Taoist Qi smiled faintly and praised, "Young man knows how to be motivated, which is good. However, when you come to practice Taoism, you are not studying in a private school. There is no food on Qiyun Mountain, and everything is at the foot of the mountain. You must cook the acres of land at the foot of the mountain, and carry water, chop firewood, food, clothing, housing and transportation every day. After you have completed the day's work, you can go to the study room to study after I preach. However, if you study at night, you must ensure that you can get up early the next morning! Do you understand?"

As he said that, Taoist Qi threw a bunch of keys to Zhou Ziling, waved his hand, and said lightly: "Go and learn about the situation here first. Go and pick a room by yourself. Have a good rest today and start practicing tomorrow!"

Zhou Ziling nodded, put away the key, and asked, "Master, do you know where my brother was sent?"

Taoist Qi thought for a while and replied, "I think he has a good qualification. If he had the chance, he might be accepted as his disciple by some elder! As for the past, some of them worked here for the rest of their lives, and some were gone!"

Zhou Ziling nodded, feeling a little relieved. At the same time, he remembered the prospect of Taoist Qi taking him to soar to the sky today. He became more and more curious and asked quickly: "Master, what kind of magic is your flying sky today?"

"It's just a simple gliding technique!" Taoist Qi said slowly: "There are many magics on Qiyun Mountain. However, what we learned is the entry-level one. I remember the beginning..."

Taoist Qi punched the table, and the table burst, which scared Zhou Ziling so much that he quickly retreated to the door and looked at the table that turned into pieces in disbelief. Taoist Qi saw Zhou Ziling's panicked expression and said disdainfully: "It's just the strength of the Qi Refining Stage. If it weren't for someone's plot, I would have practiced Taoism in Qiyun Fairy Mountain. How could I be like today, I'm old and half-in-the-small! If I had the ** of Qiyun Fairy Mountain, I would have been able to cultivate immortality!"

Zhou Ziling asked tremblingly: "Master...Master! What is Qiyun Fairy Mountain?"

Taoist Qi took a breath and said angrily: "What you see is Qiyun Mountain, which is these Taoist temples. Although the Taoist priests here are somewhat capable, they are only stronger than those peak warriors. These alone are not enough to make the court surrender. There are two parts of Qiyun Mountain, except for this one. There is another one, which is suspended on Qiyun Mountain, without a certain level of cultivation, and cannot be seen at all. On that one is living with strong immortal cultivators. It is also because of them that Qiyun Mountain can impress the court and allow Qiyun Mountain to enjoy such treatment!"

Zhou Ziling was extremely surprised. There were actually immortals in this world? Zhou Ziling asked quickly: "How can we go to Qiyun Fairy Mountain? If we cultivate immortals, how can we reach?"

Taoist Qi smiled slightly, with infinite yearning in his eyes, and said slowly: "Every five years, Qiyun Fairy Mountain will go down the mountain to select talents. At this time, the elders of Qiyun Mountain will recommend their disciples. If their disciples are selected, the elders will also get a lot of benefits. If they succeed in cultivating immortals, even the emperor can only bow down to their subordinates! For those who practice immortals, this little family business is simply a drop in the bucket and is not worth mentioning!"

"Huh!" Zhou Ziling breathed a long sigh and murmured: "Even the Zhou family is not worth mentioning? Can you handle the emperor?"

Taoist Qi saw Zhou Ziling's surprised expression and thought, "It seems that this kid will practice Taoism with peace of mind. As long as I recommend this kid, I will definitely benefit me. At that time, there will be countless spiritual stones and magic weapons. As long as I can break through the Qi refining in one fell swoop and successfully build the foundation, I still have the chance to return to the immortal mountain!"

Taoist Qi waved his hand to Zhou Ziling and said slowly: "You retreat first. I will explain these things to you in the future! Lay a solid foundation here so that you will not be at a disadvantage after going to the fairy mountain. You can feel at ease with me here. If you have a successful cultivation in the future, it is not a matter of one word? Get out!"

Zhou Ziling nodded quickly and walked out of the wing room. Zhou Ziling wandered around Qishan Temple, picked a room for himself. He took a shower in the pool, changed into a blue Taoist robe, and threw away his clothes full of patches. When he walked to the kitchen, he found that there were still a few buns, so he took them to eat them.

Qiyun Mountain is relatively steep, and only when you reach the middle of the mountain can you have land where you can grow vegetables. Usually, Taoist priests have to go down the mountain to buy food by themselves. There is no well water on the mountain, and although there is a pool to raise fish, this water cannot be drunk. Taoist priests pay great attention to their diet, and Zhou Ziling is happy to eat something good.

Zhou Ziling walked around and arrived at the study. When he walked in, there were a few cabinets of books. In addition to hundreds of Taoist classics, there were dozens of Confucian classics, more than a hundred volumes of poetry, songs and essays, and various academic classics such as Legalists, military scholars, and Mohists. Zhou Ziling's eyes were round, and this was the first time he had seen so many books. He had read "Thousand Character Classic" and "Three Character Classic" before, which was considered to be literate. He had no idea where to start with so many books.

Zhou Ziling randomly picked up a book of the Book of Songs, and leaned against the wall and read it one by one. He didn't recognize some words, so Zhou Ziling found a dictionary and found an explanation according to the words. According to the comments of the dictionary, he interpreted these poems. He did not notice that time was passing rapidly...

In the evening, Taoist Qi found that Zhou Ziling had not been moving, and his heart skipped a beat and exclaimed: "It's bad! Could this kid be caught by other elders, right?"

Taoist Qi suddenly remembered that when he took Zhou Ziling away, there was another elder's disciple. If the deacon told others that he had found a disciple with high talent. With his status in Qiyun Mountain, the other elders would definitely find a way to kidnap Zhou Ziling away. They would not give him a chance. For so many years, he had not even a disciple, and it was all thanks to these villains!

Thinking of this, Taoist Qi jumped up and hurriedly searched for Zhou Ziling on Qishan Temple. Finally, he found that Zhou Ziling was reciting "Jian Jia" with relish in the study. Taoist Qi felt relieved. Then he thought that he had to find a way to put Zhou Ziling away. He hurriedly ran back to his room, searched and found a book of alchemy.

Following the above prescription, he hurriedly found medicinal materials and refined a pill. Taoist Qi was looking for an opportunity to turn over. So he tried his best to collect and plant a lot of medicinal materials. Although they were all defective, it was enough to refine some ordinary medicines!
