Chapter 5 The Temple of the Four Spirits

"Going down the mountain?" Jiu Yun was shocked.

"Yeah. Go down the mountain." Li Chunfeng looked serious.

"This won't work!" Jiu Yun said decisively.

"Why?" Li Chunfeng said disappointed.

"There are rules on the mountain. You cannot go down the mountain with your identities like you and me. There are people guarding each mountain gate. Once you find it, you will be punished at the least, and the worst may be driven out of the wall."

"It's so serious?" Li Chunfeng said. "Well, our Lingyun Mountain Gate is the most stringent." Jiu Yun nodded.

"You are so strict, are you happy to stay here? Hey, I think you are very afraid of being expelled from the wall. What? Is there anything you deserve to be so nostalgic about?"

"Of course I am willing to stay here. Although the rules of the sect are a little strict, I think it is all for our own good. It is to prevent us from being disturbed by other aspects. I work hard to refine it. To be honest, when I was a baby, I was taken up the mountain by the sect master. It was my master who raised me. The other uncles and brothers were also very nice to me. I really don't want to leave here at all." After talking for so long, Jiu Yun seemed to have been infected by Li Chunfeng and let go of the barrier in his heart. The relationship between the two was brought closer unknowingly.

"Oh? What about your parents and family? Don't you miss them?" Li Chunfeng smiled at Jiu Yun's happy smile.

"I heard from my master that the village where I was born was flooded by mountain torrents. The head master found me in a wooden basin, who was still in a cradle. So, I am an orphan." Jiu Yun's expression dimmed.

"I'm sorry." Li Chunfeng said lightly awkwardly.

"It's okay. I haven't seen them before, but sometimes I still wonder what my parents are like." Jiu Yun said with a hurry to see this and smiled.

"Forget it, I won't talk about this anymore. Then tell me about the situation on this mountain." Li Chunfeng changed the subject.

"Which aspect are you referring to?"

"Basic overview. You have always called my master the leader, so which generation of disciples should you be? Also, the blue Taoist robe we wore should mean identity. That day I saw someone wearing white Taoist robe. What does it mean? Also, why have your master never shown up? How many people are there on this mountain?" Li Chunfeng asked a series of questions like a cannon.

"You have so many problems." Jiuyun smiled and thought for a while and said, "Actually, your problems are all related. First of all, my master is dedicated to serving disciples in the study of the head master. He usually does not leave the study. Then, there are about 500 people on this Lingyun Mountain. The four generations of disciples wearing blue Taoist robes like us."

"Are the fourth generation of disciples the lowest?" Li Chunfeng asked with a frown.

"It's the lowest now. The Taoist name of this sect is ranked according to the perspective of immortality and longevity. I am the fourth generation of disciples of the Jiu generation." Jiu Yun said with a smile.

"Well... it's not right. You are from the Jiu generation, and you are from the fourth generation of disciples. Those three generations are from the new generation. The second generation of disciples are from the Chang generation. Where are the disciples?" Li Chun said strangely.

"Listen to me, I will say it slowly. There are about 300 disciples of our four generations. There are more than 100 disciples of our three generations. There are only 28 disciples of the second generation. They belong to the four main halls respectively."

"There are the four spirits? Twenty-eight constellations?" Li Chunfeng interrupted.

"How do you know?" Jiu Yun looked surprised.

"I guessed nonsense. Don't pay attention to me and continue talking. Where is the disciple of a generation?" Li Chunfeng waved his hand and said in his heart, "Who do you think I am? I have put some effort into this. Although the purpose is just to pursue that history girl.

"A generation of disciples are the personal disciples of the head master. There are only nine people. They are known as Lingyun Jiuyao. There is no Taoist name. You are the same." Jiuyun said that the so-called Lingyun Jiuyao came to his face with the kind of admiration from the bottom of his heart.

"Lingyun Jiuyao? Is it very powerful?" Li Chunfeng curled his lips without comment.

"Of course, each of them is very powerful. It is also a group of people on this mountain who can go down the mountain at will, except for the head of the sect. And their..."

"Go down the mountain at will?" Li Chunfeng's eyes lit up.

"Yeah. Actually, most of them are not on the mountain usually." Jiu Yun said.

"If you have the chance, you have to get to know each other." Li Chunfeng said.

"You should have a chance, after all, you are of the same seniority as them. They are easy to recognize. The one who wears the Jiuyao Star Lord's robe."

"Nine-Yao Star Lord Robe?"

"Well, that's the honor of the first generation of disciples. Our four generations of disciples wear blue Taoist robes, the third generation of disciples wear white Taoist robes, and the second generation of disciples wear a light blue robe over the white Taoist robes. And the other one is the Jiuyao Star Lord robe."

"Oh. Then which hall we belong to? Wait, I think, if I remember correctly, there should be a phoenix carved on the lintel of the hall where I do morning classes every day. Then we belong to the Southern Suzaku Star?" Li Chunfeng recalled.

"That's right, and look here." Jiuyun said, pointing to his belt.

Li Chunfeng looked along his hand and saw a lifelike phoenix embroidered on the part of the belt hanging down. When he turned to look at his own, he also had the same pattern.

He had noticed this pattern long ago when he got the clothes to recognize the goods, but he didn't take it seriously when he saw other people having the same pattern. Unexpectedly, it was different from the logos of other halls.

"Also, if you meet people from the other three halls, be careful and don't cause trouble." Jiu Yun reminded.

"What? Is there anything wrong with this?" Li Chunfeng became interested.

"Well, because it belongs to the four main halls and there are many people, there will naturally be small disputes about which side is stronger. In addition, every three years, the temple will hold a martial arts ceremony. The disciples of each sect of the four main halls will go on stage to compete. In addition to getting a lot of benefits for their main hall, the final winner can also win great honors and favor from the top." Jiu Yun explained.

"Interesting." Li Chunfeng nodded. He thought in his heart that Qi Tian is indeed an old man. Isn't this kind of internal formation of a small team and promoting overall development through healthy competition? Isn't it a clever way for modern business management?

"When will the next competition be?" Li Chunfeng said curiously.

"This year, it's May, and there are three more months. On August 15th, the next martial arts conference will be held."

"Funny. Who was the winner last time?"

"It's the Qinglong Hall in the West Courtyard."

"What are the benefits?"
