Chapter 0004 - Niu You Dao

  Luo Yuan Gong received the Sect Leader's token with both hands, expressing the respect that should be shown, and when he returned to his position, he looked at Tang Susu and Su Bro, and couldn't help but sigh.   There was no way, at this time Tang Mu was simply not afraid of any pressure, even if he united everyone up and down the clan to oppose, it was useless, designating the successor to the Sect Sect Sect is the power given to the Sect Sect Sect by the Sect Rules, Tang Mu had to play like this before his death, who could play to win him?   "All of you remember, after I die, no secret mourning, otherwise it will easily cause great trouble for Shangqing Sect!" Tang Mu issued another posthumous order in public.   The crowd looked at each other in disbelief, not knowing what it meant. A few elders' eyes touched, and they all looked worried, as if they had sensed something.   A little while later, the other inner disciples dispersed, and only three elders remained in the hall, along with Tang Yi and Wei Dao.   It was at this time that Elder Luo Yuan Gong asked in a deep voice, "Sect Leader, you and Dong Guo Haoran have led the disciples of your seat to leave successively, and now you've returned injured like this, what exactly happened, who injured you?"   Tang Mu stiffly stood there and calmly said, "I don't have much energy, so if you have any questions, you can ask him again after my senior brother takes over the position of Sect Leader."   Tang Su Su said with a cold face, "Recently, there are rumors outside that the Shang Mirror has reappeared in the world, could it be that the Sect Leader and Dong Guo Haoran got into this situation due to robbing the Shang Mirror with someone?"   Mentioning the "Commercial Mirror", all the people present looked moved, staring at Tang Mu's reaction.   It's true that the "commercial mirror" this thing is too big, nowadays, although the world is the seven heroes, but in the end, it's still the base of the martial arts country up. When the cultivation of the world's first master Shang Song could have been free life, after some how the whim suddenly mixed into the common things, and painstakingly united the world, the establishment of the martial arts country, he also became the emperor of the martial arts country, has been suppressing the world's monks, the name of the world to avoid the monks and mortals competing for profit. Later Shang Song in order to seek immortality, against the original intention, the sky to poke a hole, resulting in a large number of spiritual qi leakage from the outside of the sky, so that the world of cultivation do not want to prosper are difficult. Shang Song's wife, the queen of the Wu Kingdom, Li Ge, did not forget her original intention and therefore patched up the sky, and as a result, the couple both disappeared.   After the couple disappeared, the hundreds of vassal states that divided the world could no longer be suppressed, and the vassals started a war that has lasted to this day.   Legend has it that Shang Song refined a set of eight magic treasures, with which both Shang Song broke the sky and Li Ge mended the sky. When the Martial State collapsed, the artifacts were exiled, and the eight pieces of treasures circulated non-stop among the vassal states. As the small countries continue to be annexed, the world eventually formed a situation of the eight strong, the eight treasures were also held by the eight countries, is considered by the countries as the town of the state artifacts. And this "Shang mirror" is the hands of the Qin state of the state of the artifacts, rumor has it that "Shang mirror" is to break the heavens and make up for the lead of the treasure, is the first of the eight treasures, and therefore led to the intervention of the cultivators, so that the Qin state was destroyed. When the Qin Dynasty collapsed, the whereabouts of the "Shang Mirror" were unknown, and all forces were unable to locate it.   The crux of the matter is that it is rumored that the Queen of the Martial Kingdom, Li Ge, did not complete the mending of the heavens when she was mending the heavens, and that there are still cracks in the heavens. Some people therefore think that too many cultivators in the world has something to do with this, a cultivator is inevitably more with the people to compete for profit, that cultivators continue to meddle in ordinary affairs, so the world of war and turmoil, so some people want to set eight pieces of magic treasure to patch up the holes in the whole sky, cut off the source of spiritual qi, so naturally, it will be offended by the world of cultivators, the Yan country's Grand Secretary of the King of the Ning Shang Jianbo is the representative of this.   The Shangqing Sect has some ungrateful disciples who are eye to eye with King of Ning Shang Jianbo, such as Dong Guo Haoran.   Recently, the outside world suddenly rumored that the "Shang mirror" reappeared in the sky, Tang Mu and Dong Guo Haoran and at this time with disciples ran out do not know what to do, but also made such a mess, want to not let people suspect that the whereabouts of the two and the Shang mirror are related to the difficult.   How many cultivation sects stood behind a country? And the commercial mirror is something that can lead to the scourge of extinction of the country, ask if the Shangqing Sect has provoked this thing, can not let people worry about it? The Shangqing Sect is no longer the Shangqing Sect that flourished in the early years, it has long been in decline and can't withstand the storms and rains.   Tang Mu slowly closed his eyes, "You guys are overthinking, only because of a sneak attack by an unknown person."   A few people are considered to see, Tang Mu pressure fundamentally do not want to tell the truth, he this appearance, at any time will fall, no one can force him to ......   The next day dawned, the temple door creaked open a crack, an eye slipped out a few times inside the doorway.   The doorway gradually opened, the Taoist master's head stretched out and looked left and right.   The door is open again, the Taoist master to explore the foot gently side out of the body, tiptoe quietly fall step, do not dare to make a sound, continue to observe the movement of the outside. Out to the outside and circled around the small temple, perked up his ears to listen, open eyes to see, carefully observe the surrounding.   It seemed that in the mid-winter season, it was freezing cold outside, and the grass and trees were withered.   Everywhere threw a few stones to explore the road, but also did not see any reaction, found that there seems to be really no danger after the temple outside standing on the hillside of the Taoist master Fang relaxed straightened due to maintain vigilance and cat body, once again, from the bosom of the mirror polished polish can be seen in the copper mirror, sighed at their own face right and left to take a look.   Tucking the mirror back into his arms, he saw the stream at the foot of the hill and ran down the hill in a huff. When he reached the stream, he jumped onto a rock in the stream and looked at his reflection in the stream, "Ugh!" Another long sigh.   Before in the temple through the light outside looked in the mirror, combined with its own current situation, almost figured out why that old man called him little brother, shouting him little brother is not wrong at all, it's really a little brother, and found that he became a little teenage boy.   Slowly squatting on the stone, to the clear stream for a while, stomach "rumbling", hungry.   Regardless of the relationship between this young man and their own, the feeling of hunger is by his real bear, get up and look around, have to find a way to find food.   Unintentionally see the place across the mountain seems to have signs of smoke curling up, jumped over the stream, found a seemingly leading to the wild path there, all the way to keep alert and touched the past.   After crossing the mountain and hiding behind a big tree, I saw a village.   The village looks a bit messy, seems to have been burned by fire, many women and children crying, the villagers are cleaning up the messy village.   Taoist master look at his own dress, dirty linen shoes torn holes exposed big toe buckled, a little miserable, but and the villagers dress match, also gives him the courage to show up and walk out, with a few heart towards that village.   Just into the village, they saw a woman with messy hair ran over, ghostly crying and howling to hold him, "Dao brother child, you are still alive ah, also when you were killed by those murderous soldiers and bandits to the scourge of ......"   An hour later, the Taoist understood, this village was looted by the chaos yesterday, killed and injured some people, he appeared in that broken temple is probably because of hiding from the chaos.   Cooking smoke extinguished, the village ate a half-full less than the men began to go into the mountains to find food, the main task is to dig up some roots and plants or hunt some wild animals for the villagers to survive the winter. As for the village's food were robbed by the bandits, just now a little food or who hid it was not found by the bandits, this thing can not paste the village's mouth. A little food temporarily supplied to the men who have to do manual labor, the old and weak women and children have to endure hunger to continue to clean up the mess of the village, until the men go to the mountains will eat to find.   Among the men searching for food, Master Dao has also become one of them, and the young teenager is also used as a man.   Now not called Master Dao, in this village's real name is Niu Youdao, I do not know whether it is the time and fate, and his "Master Dao" name is just right.   Cow Youdao on Cow Youdao it, Master Dao also do not care, he also do not know how he became Cow Youdao in a blur.   He is not aware of how he became a member of the team. He is surprised by this kind of strange thing, but it is not too difficult to accept. He did "archaeology" from the people, the dead people see a lot of things, strange and strange things not a few, on this kind of soul in the body of things, a variety of ancient legends have seen a lot of other people as a superstition, but he has always been believe that there is, do not believe in the attitude, to confirm their own situation, the mentality of the okay, can be accepted openly.   In short, here is not considered to be an unknown person, there is a reasonable identity, the Taoist master himself has decided, just call Niu Youdao it.   The search for food close by was given to the teenagers, and the more adventurous trips to look for it far away were given to the adults.   Under the guise of looking for food, Niu You Dao ran a single errand and instead of looking for food, he went back to the broken temple.   A piece of the ragged mantle hanging in the temple was ripped off, wrapped around the old man's body, and carried it down the mountain to the river where the old man had said he would be.   Drill into the bamboo forest waving a wood knife to put down some bamboo, trimming off the branches and leaves, the length of the interception, looking for withered rattan and other things soaked in water, made up a fairly solid three-layer conjoined large bamboo row, broad and spacious and stable. With his life experience, the bamboo row is a very simple thing to make, not much trouble.   Bamboo tube bottom as a roller, woven bamboo row rumbled into the water, the old man's body put up, but also searched a pile of dead wood piled up on, and from the side of the creek to find a flat stone put on the bamboo row.   A simple oar, a bamboo pole, together with the bamboo row, from the village to bring the hoe also threw up.   A knife to cut the tie of the withered vines, Penny shore a support, bamboo row carrying people offshore.   Holding the bamboo raft, borrowing the flow of the current, slowly swinging away from the blue waves and go.   As for why did not stay with the villagers to rebuild their homes, first of all, these villagers have no feelings, and these villagers nestled in the mountain nests have little knowledge, he played dumb and asked a number of villagers, the result is that the villagers can not even figure out what the situation outside. He did not want to nest here to plant the land, very curious about the world here, even more curious about that internal strength profound to frightening Dong Guo Haoran said the Shangqing Sect is what is going on. When he was still a Taoist master, he liked this kind of cultivation stuff and often searched for similar books from ancient tombs, and had a strong desire to go to the Shangqing Sect to see what it was all about.   Secondly, this ghost place is often robbed by the bandits, his family of this teenage body has long been the scourge of those bandits, the village similar to his situation quite a lot, he is all alone, there is nothing to hold on to when he leaves.   Also do not want to stay for a long time, take advantage of the village people are not familiar with as soon as possible to go, afraid to stay a long time and the villagers have feelings hard to part with, so quietly away.   The grace of a meal, the future has the conditions since the repayment, although even half full is not counted.   The reason for bringing Dong Guo Haoran's body was because he thought it would be safer to bring more evidence to Shangqing Sect, and wouldn't it also seem to have some sincerity?   In this cold weather, he felt that the freshness should still be okay, and it was not troublesome to bring it with him.
