Chapter 2 Leaving the Mountain (Part 2)

The man paused for a moment and said, "Master Bai Xu often told his disciples that if the wars stopped today, the world was addicted to ordinary life. Unfortunately, the lifespan of ordinary people is only fifty years old. If you want to prolong your life and live forever, you can only achieve it by hard practice. I am a rough man and do not understand these profound principles. Isn't it destined by God to live for how long a person lives? Why force it? Come, although we are thirty or forty years apart, we are still like-minded. This time we will be expelled from the mountain gate, and then we braved the heavy snow to report the news."

After the man finished speaking, he patted Hu Xi's shoulder, sighed, stopped talking, and just shook his head and left slowly.

After more than ten years of knowing the chef, I had never seen him lie. At this time, I felt even more anxious. When the man disappeared in the woods, I immediately turned around and entered the hut, packed up several pieces of clothing, took off the long sword hanging behind the door panel, and took a big step back to the building in the mountains.

Along the way, I kept thinking about it, and always felt that this matter was very strange.

Taoist Master Bai Xu is an enlightened old man who never interferes with the free life of Him. He has always been kind. Although he has a special liking for practicing Taoism and becoming an immortal, he will not force his disciples to do things he doesn't like. The senior brothers who came to Him got up early and went to practice qigong late, just to be able to become immortals in the future.

Today, the peace is peaceful and the people think it is due to the favor of gods and immortals, so they are very devout to those who practice Taoism. They will worship a large amount of incense and food at the age of time. The world is tens of thousands of miles from east to west, south to north, and across the world. In addition to the prevalence of the practice of Taoism in Qingcheng Mountain, Kunlun Mountain, Kongtong Mountain, Changbai Mountain, Wudang Mountain, Emei Mountain and other places, a large number of Taoist practitioners gathered, and practiced hard for decades, just to be able to practice Taoism and become immortals.

He thought about it all the way from the top of the mountain, walked in a daze on the rugged mountain road, and forgot the abyss under the cliff. Fortunately, he was familiar with the road, so he did not trip up the snow and fell into the canyon.

When Tao Xi returned to the building with sweat and sweating profusely, Taoist Bai Xu and his disciples gathered in the lobby.

Looking at the more than a hundred people in the hall, I was uneasy and walked slowly over and nodded to say hello. The disciples showed cold faces on their faces, and no one came out to pay attention to them. These disciples were all his senior brothers. They were usually addicted to practicing Taoism and were angry with the laziness of their junior brothers. In pursuit of a free and easy life, I had long been accustomed to their cold eyes. At this time, I didn't mind and slowly walked towards Taoist Master Baixu.

Hie walked to Taoist Master Baixu, knelt down with a plop, and whispered: "Master, the disciple is back."

Taoist Master Bai Xu was wearing a brown Taoist robe. Although he was over 90 years old and his hair and beard were gray, he was still energetic. He smiled and said, "Good disciple, aren't you on the top of the mountain? Why did you suddenly come down?" As he spoke, he had already helped Jue Xi up.

Someone inside heard Taoist Bai Xu's words and looked at the thin blue shirt in his room and said sarcastically: "It suddenly snowed heavily in the sky today. The younger brother had no warm clothes, so he naturally thought of going back to the building." As soon as he finished speaking, everyone else laughed loudly.

Taoist Master Bai Xu looked around the room and signaled them to keep quiet. The disciples held back their laughter and stood respectfully after a moment.

Zhixi lowered his shoulders and looked at the floor tremblingly. His heart was like waves rolling. He was hesitating whether to ask clearly what he was struggling, but he heard Taoist Master Bai Xu say, "Disciple, Master has something to do, and he is about to send your senior brother to pick you up." Zhixi was curious, raised his head suddenly, and asked with his head tilted, "Master, what's the matter?"

After hearing this, the Qingcheng Mountain disciples sighed, as if they were very dissatisfied with Hie's words.

Taoist Master Bai Xu was not in a hurry to answer, so he took out an invitation from his arms and said, "This is a letter sent by Taoist Master Tianji of Kunlun Mountain, and invited us to send someone to attend his ceremony. After thinking about it for a while, he decided to let you take a gift to Kunlun Mountain."

Kunlun Mountain is the world's number one sacred mountain, thousands of miles away from Qingcheng Mountain. Taoist chief Tianji is the head of Kunlun Mountain. He was 120 years old last year and is famous in the Taoist world.

When Hie Xi heard the three words "Kunlun Mountain", he began to feel dizzy in his mind, thinking: "I have nothing to do on the top of the mountain all day long, and I have a lot of idleness compared to my senior brothers. No wonder Master asked me to go to Kunlun Mountain. This time, Taoist Master Tianji sent an invitation to all the famous mountains. Could it be that he had cultivated his immortal bones?" So he asked: "Master, did Taoist Master Tianji say what kind of ceremony it was?"

Taoist Master Bai Xu took a breath and pretended to be mysterious and said, "Disciple, I don't know this, I will know when you go. The ceremony will begin a month later. The master has prepared luggage and some small gifts for you. You can set off now." After that, he handed the invitation to Zhixi.

Lai Xi was embarrassed to refuse his master, so he had to take the invitation, carry the package with luggage and gifts, kneeled on the ground and kowtowed three times to Taoist Master Baixu, and choked and said, "Master, I have been lonely since I was a child. You picked me up from the foot of the mountain. Thank you for your kindness in raising me. Lai Xi must remember it in my heart." After that, tears flowed out, soaking a large area of ​​the floor.

Taoist Master Bai Xu quickly helped him up and comforted him: "A disciple, I'm just going to attend the ceremony, not a separation of life and death. Why do you have to be so sad? It's rare to see the Kunlun Mountain Ceremony for decades. If you have the opportunity to watch it, it's a blessing for three lives. Being a teacher is an old man, and his legs can't run, otherwise you will be with you."

Zhixi wiped away tears with her sleeves and said in a harmonious voice: "Master, my disciple is inspired, which makes you and your senior brothers laugh at me." Taoist Master Bai Xu said: "Master, you have grown up and you will go out sooner or later. You will definitely gain insights during this trip to Kunlun Mountain. But remember that no matter where you go, you are a disciple of Qingcheng Mountain. Don't let your teacher down for you."

Hie nodded, said goodbye to his master, and walked out of the lobby slowly.

The Qingcheng Mountain disciples looked at the back of Zhixi leaving, and their faces showed melancholy expressions. They wanted to go to Kunlun Mountain to watch the ceremony and get some fairy spirit, but they were stopped by Taoist Bai Xu and gave the great opportunity to Zhixi, so they were naturally very unhappy.

Hie walked out of the building reluctantly, brought the prepared hat, looked at the falling snowflakes, and thought to himself: "It seems that the chef's words are not right. Master did not rush me down the mountain. I can return to Qingcheng Mountain just when the ceremony of Taoist Master Tianji is over."
