Hard to be a master

Since a monk can fully control his own spiritual power, he can learn the art of controlling the wind. As long as he uses the art of controlling the wind, the requirements for spiritual power are not high, but he can fly as high as he can, bear weight and travel far. It is directly related to the level of a monk's spiritual power.More importantly, to perform the art of controlling the wind, you must use a spiritual weapon.Like Guan Jingxuan's Floating Cloud Fan, the spiritual weapon that changes shape when facing the wind is not mentioned for the time being. Even a sword repairer who can step on a saber that has not deformed at all to resist the wind can't hold an ordinary sword. Yufeng.

Guan Jingxuan had taught Shen Ziliu the art of controlling the wind very early on, and had the cheek to go to Sun Yumo to ask him for a magical weapon called "Zhiqiu" to control the wind.When not in use, Zhiqiu is a willow-shaped emerald, and when the wind blows, it will turn into a reed.Originally, Guan Jingxuan thought that Shen Ziliu's spiritual power was astonishing, and the art of controlling the wind would be no problem, but unexpectedly, the child didn't know if he hadn't mastered the art of controlling the wind. Every time Guan Jingxuan inspected his art of controlling the wind, Zhiqiu He would suddenly return to his original shape in mid-air, scaring Guan Jingxuan to death, rushing up to pick people up countless times.So Guan Jingxuan only allowed Shen Ziliu to control the wind within a short distance, such as from Tongdao Peak to Wujian Peak.For moving a little farther away, such as going down a mountain, Guan Jingxuan would ask Shen Ziliu to ride the floating cloud fan with him.

According to Shen Ziliu himself, it was because Zhiqiu was a little uncomfortable with it, and he was not very good at it.But all spirit weapons have spirituality. Guan Jingxuan knows that the more advanced the spirit weapon is, the more it has its own temperament, and there may be incompatibility with the user. However, the spirit weapon in Sun Yumo's hand has no defective products, so Guan Jingxuan easily accepts it. After hearing what Shen Ziliu said, he only thought about when to pick another spiritual weapon that completely belonged to him, and this problem should be solved.

After the two masters and apprentices left the boundary of Kunlun, the wind howling past them gradually became warmer.Guan Jingxuan used a trick to hide the traces of the two of them and Floating Cloud Fan, and slightly lowered Yufeng's height and speed so that Shen Ziliu could see the scenery along the way clearly.Although Qingmeng Garden maintains its green color all the year round, most of Kunlun is still covered with snow-white all year round. Shen Ziliu was not used to seeing patches of greenery under his feet all of a sudden.

Winter goes to spring, everything recovers.After a winter of silence, the continuous mountains burst out with vitality. There are various flowers blooming among the green and lush vegetation. Refreshing.Deception is only effective for people, so the birds in the mountains and forests are startled by the two people flying by from low altitude from time to time, chirping non-stop, and the braver ones will flap their wings to catch up and fly around the two of them curiously Flying away, after recognizing that they were human beings, there was a scream, the wings crooked, and quickly fled.

Shen Ziliu tightly wrapped his arms around Guan Jingxuan's waist, and leaned on his back, tilting his head sideways to look at the various birds that flew to them from time to time and then quickly escaped. There was a happy arc on the corners of the lips.

After the two of them walked leisurely and leisurely against the wind for a while, Guan Jingxuan suddenly said: "Xiaoliu, I need to speed up as a teacher. The scenery of the place we are going to is better than the scenery on this road. And nothing less, when we get to the place, we can take a stroll.”

Shen Ziliu immediately looked away when he heard the sound, tilted his head slightly and rubbed Guan Jingxuan's neck lightly, and said, "Okay, listen to Master."

Guan Jingxuan was itchy from being rubbed by him, couldn't help laughing, patted Shen Ziliu's head with his backhand, and said: "Don't make trouble, I can't control it and I will take you down in a while, our master and apprentice will be ashamed if we lose face." gone."

Shen Ziliu was about to answer, but Guan Jingxuan suddenly sped up, and he swallowed the wind with the first opening, so he had to keep his mouth shut.

About an hour later, Guan Jingxuan controlled the Floating Cloud Fan and landed on a small hill.The small hills are mixed with peach and pear trees, and the peach and pear blossoms are in full bloom. The pink and white touch the branches, dance in the air, and blend in the soil, which is fascinating.

Guan Jingxuan put away the floating cloud fan and withdrew the blindfold, and walked forward side by side with Shen Ziliu.The soil under their feet was a bit wet and soft, and the surrounding air seemed wetter than the places they had been to before, but it didn't look like it had just rained.

Guan Jingxuan habitually led Shen Ziliu, and asked as he walked, "Does Xiaoliu know where this is?"

Shen Ziliu shook his head and said, "I don't know."

Guan Jingxuan said with a smile: "Do you still remember that my teacher said two years ago that when you recover from your injury, if you have nowhere to go, my teacher can give you a house in Yangzhou as a gift?"

Shen Ziliu pursed his lips, and said: "At that time, the master was only thinking about sending the disciple away, and the disciple didn't want to remember it at all."

Guan Jingxuan pinched his nose and scolded him with a smile, "Why, do you still hold grudges?"

Shen Ziliu puffed up his cheeks and pretended to be angry, Guan Jingxuan reached out and poked him on the cheek, and all the anger was gone.Shen Ziliu laughed "puchi", moved closer to Guan Jingxuan, and said in a coquettish tone: "As long as the master stops thinking about sending the disciple away, the disciple will treat it as nothing."

Guan Jingxuan blinked and said, "But you will always go down the mountain to practice in the future."

Shen Ziliu took Guan Jingxuan's arm, hung half of his body on him, and said, "Master can go with the disciple."

Guan Jingxuan bent his fingers and tapped Shen Ziliu's head with his knuckles, and said, "What kind of trial is it that I go with you as a teacher?"

Shen Ziliu smiled and said: "Master can do nothing, just watch."

Guan Jingxuan shook her head helplessly and sighed, wondering what went wrong with her education, which made her apprentice so clingy.

"Don't interrupt." Guan Jingxuan pulled Shen Ziliu off his body to let him walk properly, and said, "What I wanted to say just now is that this is the Yangzhou that I mentioned to you back then."

Just as they were talking, the two of them had reached the end of the small hill, and a tall and solemn tower suddenly appeared outside the woods. The word "Yangzhou" on the tower was clearly recognizable.There is an endless stream of pedestrians on the official road leading to the city gate. It is not difficult to tell from the clothes that there are merchants and farmers, literati and warriors, rich children and poor scholars. It is a lively and extraordinary scene.

Guan Jingxuan reached out and plucked a piece of peach blossom petals that fell in Shen Ziliu's hair, and said with a smile: "There is a poem in the world: "Three parts of the world are bright moonlit nights, and two parts are rogues are Yangzhou." , It is really a great regret in life. As a teacher, I was born and raised here before I came to Kunlun, and I have some feelings about this place that are different from other places, so I want to take you for a walk."

Shen Ziliu asked, "Master's hometown?"

Guan Jingxuan nodded and said: "And Yangzhou is close to Gusu and Jinling. Not only are the scenery exquisite and beautiful in these two places, the silk fabrics they produce are even more outstanding in the world. I can pick some and make you some new clothes."

The master and apprentice chatted as they walked, and after leaving the hill, they slowly merged into the crowd on the official road, and soon reached the city gate.Four guards stood at the gate of the city, inspecting the passes of passers-by one by one.When it was Guan Jingxuan and Shen Ziliu's turn, Guan Jingxuan calmly took out a leaf from his sleeve that he had just picked in the woods and handed it to the guard. out of town.

After walking a little farther, Shen Ziliu asked in a low voice: "Did Master just use a blindfold?"

Guan Jingxuan also whispered: "That's right. But because this blindfold intentionally deceives innocent ordinary people, a teacher must do something good today to offset the crime."

Shen Ziliu said: "What if it doesn't offset?"

Guan Jingxuan said: "Then Tiandao will write down this account, and let you pay it back in other ways in the future—with interest."

Shen Ziliu asked again, "Who is the Dao of Heaven?"

Guan Jingxuan said: "It's not who it is, and it doesn't have any specific form. It's just an existence above all things. No matter mortals or practitioners, they can't escape its sanctions. You can think of it as a penny-pinching A strict judge, he takes a small notebook to write down the good and evil of the world every day. When a person's good and evil are out of balance to a certain extent, it will come out to 'help' you balance at the right time. For example, when you go through calamity or when refining the magic weapon, you failed in the last step, or you were disturbed by the sudden fire from the sky during the retreat, and you went crazy... and so on. "

Shen Ziliu was puzzled and said, "Didn't you say that both good and evil will be recorded? Why are there only punishments but no rewards?"

Guan Jingxuan shrugged, seeming to be joking but also serious and said, "Because Tiandao is a cheapskate."

Shen Ziliu couldn't help but curled his lips, and said with a smile: "Then master dares to speak ill of it, be careful not to be recorded in a small book."

Guan Jingxuan also smiled and said: "Although Tiandao is a cheapskate, it only records the real good and evil, and it doesn't hurt to scold it. Well... But Xiaoliu, you should stop scolding casually, as a teacher. In the future, there will definitely not be a catastrophe, so even if it takes revenge, it will not be a big problem, but if you are hit by it during the catastrophe in the future, it will be unimaginable."

Shen Ziliu said: "Master, don't you want to ascend to immortality?"

After thinking about it for a while, Guan Jingxuan said: "Whether you want to be a teacher or not, I think it is too much for a teacher's cultivation level to become a golden core, and ascension is absolutely impossible."

Shen Ziliu thought for a while, and said, "Then the disciple doesn't want to ascend, but stay by Master's side to accompany Master."

Guan Jingxuan didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Stupid disciple, do you think that you come here depending on your willingness to fly or not? Forget it, it's too early to say these things now, and you will understand later."

Saying that, Guan Jingxuan stopped suddenly, Shen Ziliu reflexively followed him and stopped, and Guan Jingxuan said, "Here we are."

Shen Ziliu turned his head and found that they were standing in front of a courtyard with mottled gates and walls.One of the two stone lions in front of the courtyard was missing half its head, and the other lost most of its body. The stone was also worn and discolored badly.The vermilion lacquer on the doorposts and the gate has long since peeled off, and the place where the door plaque should have been is empty, leaving only a thick layer of gray cobwebs.
