However, the bright sunshine couldn't break the haze in Qing Huizi's heart.
After the morning class, Qing Huizi met the headmaster in front of the Ancestral Hall. The headmaster was surprised to see her, "Qing Huizi, your brother is traveling. Why don't you see him off?"
Qing Huizi wanted to say something but stopped. She lowered her head, "I'll go now."
She said goodbye in a low voice, lowered her head, and left in a hurry.
The headmaster watched her leave. His gentle eyes reflected the girl's graceful figure wrapped in a simple Taoist robe. She was full of youthful vigor. She turned the corner and disappeared.
The headmaster looked back at the statue of the Ancestral Master and whispered, "Every tribulation brings another tribulation. Every difficulty brings another difficulty. Are the things in the world predetermined, or is it man's will to conquer nature? "
Qing Huizi ran to the foot of the mountain and saw her brother Dan Yunzi, who was about to go down the mountain. Their master, Tonghai Immortal, and Qingyun Immortal, the master of their father Tong Xuanzi.
"When you go down the mountain to practice, you must abide by the laws and regulations. You can't act recklessly just because you are strong." Master Tonghai Immortal said.
"You can't use your superpower and Taoist magic in front of others. If you encounter danger, inform Bosch immediately. But if you encounter injustice, you must help. That's how we Taoist disciples should be. "
Daoist Master Qing Yun, who could be considered as half a grandfather, reminded him earnestly.
"Don't break the law."
"You must be able to resist the temptation of the mortal world."
"Don't trust others easily."
"Remember to download WeChat or Alipay. I will transfer money to you."
Dan Yunzi nodded and dealt with the reminders of his master and Qingyun Immortal. When it was time, he turned his head and looked at his silent sister.
Deng deng deng.
Qing Huizi felt that those dark eyes were like a bottomless abyss.
They seemed to swallow her. She took a few steps back subconsciously.
Qingyun Immortal and Tonghai Immortal were confused.
Qing Huizi forced a smile and said, "Brother, be careful."
Dan Yunzi nodded slightly and looked away. He turned around and left along the stairs. At the end of the mountain, he walked along the mountain path. His back was soon blocked by branches and bushes.
According to the rules, the disciples of the Dao Sect could not return to the mountain within three years. However, they could contact the sect.
Nowadays, communication was very advanced. Even if they couldn't meet in person, they could still have a video chat. There wasn't the sadness of parting like in ancient times. Qing Huizi, whose brother had left the mountain to travel, was relieved.
On the way back to the mountain, the three of them ran into Dan Chenzi, who was leisurely walking over with a wine pot in his hand.
Dan Chenzi and the old Daoist who was sweeping the floor hit it off very well. This was something that everyone in the Shangqing Sect knew. Every now and then, they would come to the mountainside and they would be able to see the two of them chatting and drinking.
Daoism was not like Buddhism, which strictly forbade alcohol and women, but it also did not advocate drinking.
As the elders of the sect, Daoist Qingyun and Daoist Tonghai did not intend to warn Dan Chenzi. Dan Chenzi's position in the Shang Qing Sect was too special. He was definitely the next sect leader.
To this day, it was not an exaggeration to say that he was the number one expert of the Shang Qing Sect. He had stepped into the ranks of the top S-class for many years and would break through to the half-step Extreme Grade at any time.
Even the Sect Leader would not use his status as an elder to suppress such a person.
Dan Chenzi smiled and greeted the three of them. "Martial Uncle Qingyun, Martial Uncle Tonghai. Yo, Junior Martial Sister Qing Huizi. "
The two of them nodded in greeting and brushed past each other.
Qing Huizi hesitated for a moment and stopped. "Senior Martial Brother Dan Chenzi."
Dan Chenzi looked at her with a smile on his face and a gentle expression.
Seeing his reassuring expression, Qing Huizi was slightly comforted. Senior Martial Brother Dan Chenzi was like this. Ever since he was young, he was always smiling, never angry, never angry, always willing to help others, and was also reliable. Except for the occasional cynicism, he had almost no shortcomings.
"What happened?" Dan Chenzi handed the wine pot to the old Daoist sweeping the floor and patted the steps beside him.
The steps had just been swept. They were not dirty, but they were still trampled by people, so they could not be clean. Qing Huizi, who had always liked cleanliness, was a little conflicted. After thinking for a moment, she put her hands behind her and slid them down along her plump buttocks. Then, she sat down.
"My brother seems to have some problems." Qing Huizi lowered her voice.
Dan Chenzi was stunned.
"You know, we brother and sister live in the same courtyard." Qing Huizi said.
The disciples of the Shang Qing Sect usually slept in dormitories, the kind where four people shared a room. It was similar to a university dormitory, but there were also male and female dormitories. This was for ordinary disciples. Above them, there were two people to a room.
In theory, with Dan Chenzi's strength and status in the Shang Qing Sect, he lived in a dormitory for two people. But because he had Qing Huizi, his talented sister, he was allocated a courtyard.
"It's like this. Last week, one night, I was suddenly awakened by a strange sound. That sound was very strange, like the snoring of some kind of beast, but also like the low growl of a man."
"I immediately got up to investigate. When I walked to the courtyard, I found that the sound came from my brother's room. I quickly knocked on the door and woke him up. I asked him what was going on. But my brother did not seem to know what was going on. He even complained that I disturbed his rest. "
"The next night, I heard that strange sound again. The difference was that this time, I heard the sound of a heartbeat. A heartbeat that sounded like a drum. But when I rushed to my brother's room, all the sound disappeared. I told him about me, but he had a blank look on his face. "
"Was it a vengeful spirit?" Dan Chenzi asked.
"How could there be vengeful spirits in the sect?" Qing Huizi shook her head. "In order to understand the situation, I asked for my brother's permission and set up a barrier in his room. This way, if there was any movement in his room, the barrier would be activated. This proved that what I heard was not an illusion. "
"Did you find anything?"
"No. After that night, I did not hear any more strange sounds. But the night before yesterday, I was woken up by a strange sound again. This time, the sound did not come from my brother's room, but from the courtyard. I did not turn on the light, and carefully moved to the window. I saw … "
Dan Chenzi felt like he was listening to a ghost story. His whole body tensed up.
"My brother was sitting in the courtyard with a bucket of blood beside him. He kept dipping his hand in the blood and drawing strange incantations on his body. His face was expressionless, and his eyes were gray and empty. There was not a trace of life in them. He was like a moving corpse. I was so scared that I did not think much of it. I rushed out to wake him up. "
"He did not seem to know what he was doing. He even asked me why he was in the courtyard. I carefully checked his physical condition. Everything was fine. His primordial spirit was normal too. There was no sign of possession. But my brother looked very tired. He did not say much to me before going back to his room to rest. "
"I watched him go back to his room to rest. But the moment he turned off the light, I saw a scary scene. A human face grew out of my brother's back. It smiled at me." At this point, Qing Huizi slowly shivered. "I have never seen such a scary thing. Just a glance made it hard for me to breathe. It was warning me, warning me not to meddle in other people's business. "
Dan Chenzi thought this was ridiculous. It sounded like some kind of scary vengeful spirit, but the Shangqing Sect was famous for its tricks. What kind of vengeful spirit dared to make trouble in Mao Mountain? Did it think it was too easy to be a ghost?
"That night, I could not sleep. At dawn, I went to find the Sect Leader and explained the situation to him. The Sect Leader attached great importance to it. He personally checked our residence. He even used an octagonal mirror to look at my brother's body. Unexpectedly, my brother was very normal. There was nothing wrong with him. After that, the Sect Leader asked me to chant sutras and meditate with him every day and cultivate the Clear Heart Mantra. "
"The Sect Leader felt that there was something wrong with you." Dan Chenzi suddenly understood. He felt that this matter was strange and unusual.
He did not think that there was anything wrong with Qing Huizi. If there were signs of qi deviation, he would be able to detect it.
However, if there was something wrong with Dan Yunzi, the Sect Leader would not be indifferent.
Dan Chenzi felt that it was quite troublesome.
"Yes." Qing Huizi looked tired. "Since there is nothing wrong with my brother, the problem is naturally me. It is understandable that the Sect Leader would think so. Even now, I do not know if there is something wrong with my cultivation or if there is something wrong with my brother. "
Dan Chenzi thought for a moment. "This is simple. Dan Yunzi has left the mountain to travel. If there are any strange situations in the future, then there is something wrong with your cultivation. If there isn't, then there is something wrong with your brother. "
Qing Huizi said worriedly, "If there is something wrong with me, then that is naturally for the best. But what if it is my brother? He has no one to rely on at the foot of the mountain. "
How good would it be if I had a sister like her! Dan Yunzi was truly a fool with a fool's luck.
Dan Chenzi patted her shoulder to comfort her. He turned to the old Daoist who was sweeping the steps with his head lowered and asked, "Senior, what do you think?"
The senior ignored him.
"Senior, I will bring you another jug of wine."
The senior ignored him and raised his head to glance at him. He said unhurriedly, "Everything has its own fate. There must be a reason for this. The so-called ten thousand phenomena of all living beings, love, hate, sorrow, and pain, are but a delusion, an illusion. "
Dan Chenzi scratched his head. "Senior, you are a Daoist, why are you speaking in Buddhist language? A few days ago, you told me that Daoist priests are more awesome than monks. "
"This is fate."
"Senior, be a human."
"What the eye sees, the heart sees. What you see is what the other sees, and what the other sees is what you see."
"Understood."
Qing Huizi left with a heavy heart. Her graceful figure disappeared among the withered branches. Dan Chenzi retracted his gaze. "Senior, do you think she will agree if I ask her to be my Daoist partner?"
The old Daoist who was sweeping the floor glanced at him. "You want to enter half-step Extreme Dao? Looking at the time, you were a top S-rank five years ago, but it is not the right time yet. "
Dan Yunzi said gloomily, "Isn't this too much pressure? I saw the news this morning. Li Peiyun actually entered half-step Extreme Dao. He is the fastest among the four to enter this realm. There was no doubt that Li Xianyu would reach half-step Extreme Dao. Jiese's cultivation is slightly stronger than mine, but his master is at Extreme Dao and teaches him every day. I have to walk on my own. This is the difference between the rich and the poor. "
"If he achieves Extreme Dao one day, won't I look bad?" Dan Chenzi said worriedly.
"Then why this girl?" The old Daoist who was sweeping the floor asked.
Daoism and Buddhism both had the saying of entering the world and then coming out. It was very simple. Many things could only be truly understood, seen clearly, and understood after experiencing it personally.
That was why Dan Chenzi missed women.
His age and body were just right for this moment. Of course, he could always maintain his pure body until he grew older. At that time, he would naturally comprehend the principle of emptiness.
Many lonely Daoists were like this.
Dan Chenzi did not want to wait until that age. He did not want to fall too far behind.
"Because she is the only one in the sect who does not admire me. If I become her Daoist partner, I can be respectful and not bother her," Dan Chenzi said.
Hearing this, the old Daoist laughed in disdain. "You know she does not admire you. Then how can you be sure she will agree to be your Daoist partner?"
Dan Chenzi thought about it and felt that it made sense.
"Do not get involved with the Li family," the old Daoist warned.
"Why?"
"Karma entanglement."
"Oh."
