[Xianjian + Ancient Sword Colleague] Being a master is also a kind of practice

The front mountain of Qionghua School is a huge square paved with white marble. In the middle stands the statue of Nine Heavens Xuannv, which is also carved from white jade. The bottom is even hollowed out to form a pool, and the Kunlun Spring flows from the bottom. Looking from a distance, the entire Qionghua School is like a fairy city suspended on the water.

There are several white marble bridges at the end of the square. Behind the bridges stand three Taoist temples, all of which are paved with glazed tiles and made of jade bricks. They are very majestic and majestic. It is more general, and more spectacular.The sound of the water under the bridge is constant, and the mountains and clouds are slightly swaying on the clear water. Suddenly, two white shadows are reflected in it, but they pass by in a short while.

In front of each of the three Taoist temples, there is an extremely wide jade step, with nearly a hundred or thousands of steps going up. The main hall in the middle is more than ten feet high just because of the gate. The big characters are exactly where the head Taiqing person usually handles the important affairs of the school.

Su Xin came here with Xuan Zhen, even though the door was wide open, she didn't dare to take another step inside.There are four large sandalwood chairs placed on the main hall, one is in the middle, and the other three are placed on the left and right below. Only the upper and left lower chairs are occupied by people, who are also dressed in blue and white Taoist robes, but the style and texture are similar to Xuan Zhen and other young disciples are completely different.

Xuan Zhen strode towards the threshold, and the old man sitting in the middle saw him at a glance.This old man's hair is like silver, neatly bundled in the Taoist crown, the three long beards under his jaw are also snow-white, his face is clear and slender, his eyes are bright and energetic, there is no smile on his face, he is very majestic, he is The current head of the Qionghua School is also Xuan Zhen's master Taiqing Zhenren.

Taiqing said first: "Xuan Zhen, why did you come here so slowly?"

Xuan Zhen bowed and said: "Master, please forgive me. This disciple just felt bored and went to the back mountain to relax in the shade of drunken flowers. Hearing from my junior sister that Master and Elder Qingyang were looking for a disciple, I hurried over. I didn't think it was too late. "

The other person sitting next to him smiled and said, "Why is it too late or not? Xuan Zhen, you don't have to be too alarmed. The head brother just asks, come to the front quickly." This person's face is more pure The person is much younger, and his expression is gentler. It is the elder Qingyang, a practitioner with profound skills and naturally looks young. 12 years ago, he could even maintain his youthful appearance, but now his face has not changed much, but his beard and hair have been stained with frost. .

Xuan Zhen passed through the main hall, came to stand in front of Master Taiqing, lowered his head, but heard Master Taiqing say above his head: "Xuan Zhen, you have been a beginner for more than ten years?"

Xuan Zhen nodded and said, "It's been twelve years."

"When Qingyang and Chongguang brought you into the Qionghua sect's mountain gate, you were still a young man with no cultivation at all, but now you have achieved a small degree of cultivation, and you can be regarded as the most eagerly awaited young disciples in the sect." The halal person said again.

Xuan Zhen bowed again and said: "It's all thanks to the careful teaching of the master and the uncles. If there were no two uncles to save me, the disciple would have died in the mountains by now. If the master hadn't accepted me, there would be no disciple today." .”

Taiqing's voice was slightly softer, as if he was very happy to be said by Xuan Zhen, he paused, and then said: "Your aptitude is high, you are a rare and beautiful jade, and your temperament is very stable and mature, I have you as a teacher This disciple is also very happy. Now that you have achieved success in cultivation, if the Qionghua Sect is useful to you, I don't know what you think in your heart?"

Without hesitation, Xuan Zhen blurted out: "I will do my best and will do my best."

Master Taiqing was even more satisfied, and said: "Very good. The Qionghua Sect has always had a rule that all beginner disciples who have reached a certain level of cultivation can enter the world and travel. Now you can go down the mountain!"

Xuan Zhen was startled, raised his head unconsciously, and said in surprise, "Going down the mountain?"

"That's right," Master Taiqing stroked his beard, "Three days later, some disciples will go down the mountain to buy supplies, so you can go with them, and you don't have to go back with them after you go down the mountain."

Xuan Zhen was even more surprised, but a trace of yearning quietly rose in his heart.He had encountered misfortune before entering the school and lost all his memories. All his impressions of Yamashita were just the vague shadows he glimpsed from the sky when the two elders Qingyang and Chongguang flew by with their swords. I'm already a little curious about things.For those unknowns in the world, now he has a chance to personally experience them, his face is still very calm, but his heart is already throbbing.

Master Taiqing continued: "Xuan Zhen, listen carefully. Traveling down the mountain is just an appearance, but in fact there is another important task to entrust to you. I have a piece of ancient jade here, named 'Lingguang Zaoyu', you take it with you Carry it. This Lingguang algae jade is very precious, with the strength of the Qionghua faction, you can only get two pieces, and you must not lose it!" Then he took out a round and flat white jade from his sleeve, flicked his fingers, and A piece of white jade flew over from above.

Xuan Zhen took it in his hands, and the tentacles felt cool.The piece of white jade was carved with algae-like textures, and there was nothing special about it.

Elder Qingyang seemed to see what Xuan Zhen was thinking, and said with a smile: "This piece of algae jade with aura is extraordinary, it is born with a strong sense of the power of yin and yang, if it is close to something extremely yin or yang , it will emit a shining white light."

Xuan Zhen looked down at the aura jade in his hand, slightly surprised.

Master Taiqing stood up from the chair, stood on the steps and said: "Elder Qingyang is right, you take this piece of spiritual algae jade, and after you go down the mountain, you have to search around to find the person who hit the yin and yang. If someone If you hit Yin Sheng or Yang Sheng, this aura jade will remind you. No matter what, you have to bring that person back to the Qionghua Sect."

Xuan Zhen had sensed something was wrong at this time, and wondered: "Why do you want to find the person who hits Yin and Yang? What if he doesn't want to go back to Kunlun Mountain with me?"

Master Taiqing solemnly said: "This is related to a major event of our sect, no matter what, regardless of whether that person is willing or not, we must bring him back to Qionghua!"

Xuan Zhen remained silent.

Master Taiqing said again: "If this algae jade with spiritual light stays with a person with strong yin and yang for a long time, the white light on it will gradually weaken, it is because it adapts to that person's breath, so don't worry about it. It's just that if you meet that person in a crowded place, it will be a bit embarrassing, you must not admit your mistake, or you will miss a big deal!"

Elder Qingyang saw that Daoist Taiqing was becoming more and more severe as he spoke, so he calmed down and said: "Xuan Zhen, you don't have to be too nervous. A person with a lot of yin and yang is one in a thousand, so you don't have to be harsh on yourself if you can't find it. What's more , the process of searching is traveling. If you have nowhere to go, you might as well start looking for it from Mount Huangshan. Didn’t Junior Brother Chongguang and I meet you that day? The memory you lost that day is still unable to be retrieved. , I often dare to feel guilty. Taking advantage of the opportunity to visit Huangshan, maybe I can recall the past, which is considered a happy event.”

Xuan Zhen only bowed and said: "Yes." He knew in his heart that he was going to go down the mountain anyway.

Seeing that everything has been finished, Master Taiqing said: "After going down the mountain, do everything carefully. After three days, I will let Suyao and Suxin go down the mountain with you to cover up people's eyes. After you leave the sect, you will search alone. Don't tell others, remember!" After saying that, he ordered Xuan Zhen to step back and pack his bags.

Three days later, Xuanzhen, Suyao, and Suxin got up early in the morning, and as disciples who were acquainted with each other, they came all the way from Chaoshan Gate.The young disciples of the faction all knew that the three of them had obtained the permission of the sect leader, but they could go down the mountain and travel around, so they were very envious.

Arriving at the gate of the mountain, the disciples who went down the mountain to buy things were already waiting there, but each of them carried a big bulging package on their backs. It didn't look like they were going down the mountain to buy things, but rather they were sending things down the mountain.

Su Xin smiled and said, "Junior Brothers, what are you carrying?"

When one of the disciples saw the question, he replied: "This is food for those people who live on the mountainside. Elder Qingyang has ordered that those people are not talented enough to join our Qionghua Sect, but their perseverance is great." Jia, so let us send them some water and fruits and vegetables along the way every time we go down the mountain to buy food, which is better than eating hard dry food all day long."

Although the Qionghua School is hidden in the Kunlun Mountains, there are disciples who come and go with swords after all, so the people in the villages and towns below the mountain know that their backs are on the Immortal Mountain, and many people who seek immortality and Taoism also come here admiringly.To go to Qionghua, there is only one mountain road other than Yujian, but there are many formations on the side of the road, and because of the strong spiritual power in the mountain, there are many ghosts, so this road also has a very elegant name called "" Taiyi Fairy Path".

The numerous and dangerous passes in the Taiyi Immortal Path were laid out by members of the Qionghua Sect, not only to hide their whereabouts to avoid unnecessary harassment, but also to test those who want to worship into the mountain gate.It's just that if one wants to enter the sect to practice, in addition to being able to reach the mountain gate through the Taiyi Immortal Path, one must also pass a test in the sect. Those who pass will naturally become Qionghua disciples, but many who fail to pass are unwilling to go down the mountain of.These people lived in huts on the mountainside, cultivating hard and waiting for the next trial.Elder Qingyang and these young disciples were referring to them.

At that moment, several people started to go down the mountain.Taiyixian is divided into three parts from top to bottom: Xuanji Road, Bai Hao Road, and Ziwei Road. Each part has different levels according to the environment.The unsuccessful ones who didn't want to go down the mountain built huts on Baihaodao halfway up the mountain. No matter whether they went up or down the mountain, they could go back and forth within a day. It was cheaper to go to the trial or go down the mountain to buy dry food.

Xuan Zhen and the others followed their disciples to the mountainside, and they saw a dozen low thatched huts. In front of and behind the houses, there were a dozen men and women practicing their own cultivation. Some practiced swords and boxing, and some meditated. A group of Qionghua's disciples came down from the mountain and surrounded them one after another.All the young disciples handed them the package, and those people couldn't thank them enough.

Su Xin found it interesting, so she went forward and grabbed a young woman to ask questions.Suyao was cold and aloof, she stood silently at the intersection without saying a word.Xuan Zhen stood beside her, looking at the crowd, at this moment, a person standing under the eaves suddenly came out of the crowd, threw himself in front of him, kowtowed, and shouted: "Help, immortal, help!"
