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

The so-called caves and blessed places refer to those places full of spiritual energy, most of them are famous mountains and rivers, overseas strange islands, and they are also the favorite places for practicing Taoism.There is an ancient saying that "immortals have their own sun and moon", which means that these caves and blessed places have a different atmosphere than the world where ordinary people live. Although they belong to the human world, they seem to overlap and not coincide. Lei, the cave is not affected at all.

Green Jade Altar is such a place.

Xuan Zhen and his two junior sisters walked through the cloud and mist on the Huixian Bridge, their eyes suddenly brightened, and a sense of warmth rushed over them, which was very different from the cold wind on Hengshan Mountain at the end of the Xianqiao Bridge. There are traces of medicinal fragrance in it, Xuanzhen and the others thought to themselves when they smelled it: It is rumored that the green jade altar is good at refining elixir, and its reputation is indeed well-deserved.

For all famous sects, there are often many prohibitions at the entrance, so that the disciples in the sect will not be discovered only when the enemy enters the sect.Therefore, as soon as Xuan Zhen and the others stepped into the green jade altar, they saw several rays of light of various colors across the mountains in front of them and landed in front of them.

The light dissipated, and several young men and women walked out of it, all dressed in yellow-brown Taoist robes.The young man in the lead looked at Xuan Zhen and the three in turn, his eyes fell on Xuan Zhen, he cupped his hands and said: "Xia Danshu is the disciple of the deacon of the Qingyu altar. I don't know which masters are some of you. What's the use of the altar?"

Xuan Zhen cupped his hands calmly and said: "Xuan Zhen, Qionghua Sect Taiqing Daoist disciples, these two are my junior sisters Suyao and Suxin."

The Qionghua Sect is known as a famous sect in the cultivation world, and the righteous way is eager to get their heads up. The few Qingyu altar disciples immediately showed respect when they heard the name, and Dan Shu's expression eased a lot. He smiled and said: "It turns out that you are a fellow Daoist!" I don't know if senior brother Xuan Zhen and these two senior sisters have come to Hengshan, but what is the important matter of the Qionghua sect?" He asked this question twice, but his tone was completely opposite, this time it was much more affectionate.

Xuan Zhen smiled slightly, and said: "This matter has nothing to do with my sect, it's just that my two junior sisters and I saw something when we traveled through Mount Heng, and after much deliberation, it's really uneasy not to inform the Qingyu altar."

"Oh, what are you talking about!" Su Xin became impatient with the listening, and complained with a pout, "Let's get down to business, or how many people will die down the mountain!"

As soon as she said this, everyone's expressions changed.Xuan Zhen shook his head helplessly, Su Yao gave her a hard look, and Su Xin puffed up her cheeks in disbelief.

Although the few Qingyu altar disciples didn't know what major event they were talking about, when they suddenly heard that human life was involved, they looked at each other, a little at a loss.Dan Shu glanced at Su Xin, slightly startled on his face, then turned to Xuan Zhen after a pause, and asked hesitantly: "Senior Brother Xuan Zhen, this... what this senior sister said about 'a lot of people will die', in the end……"

Xuan Zhen glanced at Su Yao.Suyao understood, deliberately looked left and right, and said coldly: "Brother Dan Shu, I'm afraid this is not a suitable place for talking about serious business?"

Dan Shu turned his eyes to look at the past, and was awed by her icy appearance, his face couldn't help turning red, he hurriedly said: "I'm the one who was abrupt, senior sister, don't blame me." Then he pointed to the corner of the eaves exposed behind the mountains in front of him, " There is the main hall of my faction, please come with me."

The Green Jade Altar is lush with vegetation, and there are dozens of stone houses scattered among it. According to Dan Shu, they are all disciple rooms and Dan rooms.Several people walked and watched, all the way to the front of the main hall, the main hall was also built by Qingyan, towering and towering, there were several people standing in front of the hall gate, before Xuan Zhen and the others approached, the young man in front had already greeted him, Xuan Zhen Before Zhen saw his face clearly, he heard a long laugh.

"The honored guest is here, and I have lost my way to welcome you. I would like to ask some brothers and sisters to forgive me!" The young man who spoke was only in his twenties, with a handsome appearance, a slender figure, and a gentle and amiable appearance. The style is also slightly different, and the identity is very unusual at a glance.

Xuan Zhen arched his hands, and was about to say a few words of humility when the young man laughed again: "My surname is Shangguan, and my name is taboo Shang Lian Xia Hua. I am the disciple of the head of the Qingyu Altar. Now the master is retreating in the quiet room and is not allowed to receive a few people." , I will entertain you for the time being, please take care of me for a while."

Su Xin was still young when he joined the Qionghua Sect, and hadn't studied for a few years, so he gently tugged at Xuan Zhen's clothes, and asked in a dazed voice, "Senior brother, why are there different names? This person is really strange." ..."

Xuan Zhen coughed lightly, and replied in a low voice: "He said that his name is Shangguan Lianhua." Then he turned his gaze back to the man's face, and said with a smile, "That's all right, brother Shangguan is the head disciple, and I want to come here It's the same thing to tell you."

Shangguan Lianhua was stunned, and looked at Dan Shu who was standing aside suspiciously.Dan Shu hurriedly stepped forward and whispered a few words in his ear, then he suddenly nodded and pointed to the hall with a smile: "Then why not go in and talk about it."

The three of Xuan Zhen followed him to the main hall and took their seats. Shangguan Lianhua waved his hand to order the rest of the disciples to retreat, leaving only Dan Shu by his side. He had just heard Dan Shu mention the names of the three of Xuan Zhen, so he didn't say any more. Asked, just said unhurriedly: "Senior brother Xuan Zhen just said that he has something important to inform, but he doesn't know how important it is to bother the senior brothers and sisters of Qionghua Sect?"

"Brother Shangguan made fun of me. I can't wait for the little disciples of the Qionghua Sect. It's just that when I passed through the Hengshan area, I encountered someone doing evil, and I felt that I couldn't ignore it. What's more, that person's methods were extremely vicious and strange. He seemed to be a cultivator. I'm afraid that ordinary people would be difficult Surrender. This is the place of the Green Jade Altar, I dare not overstep the position, so I am here to let you know, as for how to proceed, I would like to ask Brother Shangguan to show you." Xuan Zhen said humbly and authentically.

Shangguan Lianhua nodded, and said thoughtfully: "Brother, please explain this matter in detail, what did that villain do?"

Xuan Zhen glanced at Suyao and said: "My two junior sisters have seen it with their own eyes, so let her tell the story."

At that moment, Suyao recounted what she and Suxin had seen and heard, and at the end she said angrily, "This man is cruel and merciless, and he treats human life like nothing. No matter what, he can't be allowed to continue like this!" Suyao said. Xin nodded again and again in agreement.

When Shangguan Lianhua heard this, a strange look flashed in his eyes, but his face was full of anger, he slapped the table and said: "There is such a thing? Unexpectedly... As a disciple of Qingyu altar, I am not as good as a few senior brothers and sisters Knowing the details, let the evil spirits and monsters do these things at the foot of Mount Heng..."

It was obvious that his face was full of anger, but Xuan Zhen faintly felt something strange.Therefore, when the next few people discussed this matter, they paid special attention to Shangguan Lianhua's expression, and finally noticed something was wrong.It stands to reason that when one hears someone killing people near the sect, anyone should be shocked and angry, just like Na Danshu, but Shangguan Lianhua was only angry but not shocked from the beginning to the end, as if he didn't feel a little bit about such a tragedy I don't think it's strange, if he puts on a calm and breezy appearance, it can be said that he is naturally stable and doesn't show his emotions, but this pretentiousness seems to have something else inside.

Xuan Zhen thought about it for a while, and he couldn't help feeling suspicious, but he still acted nonchalantly.

During the discussion, Shangguan Lianhua kept his words tight, but he never promised to investigate the matter thoroughly, and Xuan Zhen became more and more suspicious.He only heard him say: "This matter is no small matter, and we have to wait for the master to leave the customs before discussing it. I think the old man will not ignore it."

Suyao originally planned to send people to arrest the demon as soon as Qingyutan heard about this, but Shangguan Lianhua was so evasive, and immediately snorted coldly: "Then if your master doesn't stay out of the customs for 100 years, we will let the villain enjoy another 100 years No?"

The words were not very polite, Xuan Zhen hurriedly raised his hand to stop, but glanced sideways at Shangguan Lianhua's expression, and saw that there was a glint in his eyes, looking at Suyao seemed a little unfriendly, and his heart felt even worse Yi Lin.

But the fierce light was fleeting, and Shangguan Lianhua still smiled lightly with that gentle and elegant appearance: "Senior sister is joking." Before a few people could speak again, he said: "It's not early, how about a few brothers and sisters?" How about spending one night at the Green Jade Altar and discussing this matter tomorrow?"

Su Xin was stunned for a moment, then turned her head to look outside the door, and said in surprise, "It's not early? But the sun is just right outside!"

Shangguan Lianhua laughed, and said: "Senior sister doesn't know, the movement of the sun and the moon in the green jade altar is different from that of the outside world, you can't judge whether it will be sooner or later based on the rising and setting of the sun."

"What's the difference?" Su Xin asked curiously.

Shangguan Lianhua smiled and said: "The sapphire altar is divided into upper and lower levels. The lower level is always daytime, and the upper level is always night. Together, it becomes a Tai Chi, which means dividing yin and yang, and transforming all things. We are currently in the lower level, and the outside is naturally The sun is just right, but actually I'm afraid it's time for dinner." Yuba glanced at Danshu, the young man nodded slightly, turned around and went out.

Su Xin sighed.Su Yao looked outside the house with a somewhat surprised expression.Xuan Zhen sighed secretly in his heart, this Shangguan Lianhua was very good at talking, and he easily avoided Suyao's doubts with a few words. Talking about it makes it even more weird.

Not long after, Dan Shu returned to the hall and said that he had prepared a good meal for the next table.The kindness was hard to come by, Xuan Zhen and the three had no choice but to obey, and after the meal, Shangguan Lianhua even invited the three of them to wander around in the green jade altar, telling some anecdotes from time to time on the way, which made Su Xin laugh constantly, and the coldness on Su Yao's face melted many.This person is long-sleeved and good at dancing, has a slick face, and his knowledge is considered extraordinary. Even someone like Xuan Zhen who has doubts in his heart feels that being with this person is like a spring breeze.

The spiritual energy in the green jade altar is very strong, especially the place where the vegetation is flourishing is the most compelling.Shangguan Lianhua explained that it was because medicinal herbs were planted everywhere in the sect, only then did Xuan Zhen realize that the plants and trees in the gate of the Qingyu altar were all exotic flowers and plants, even an inconspicuous little flower beside the pebble path seemed to have all kinds of herbs. Medicinal.Shangguan Lianhua is worthy of being the head disciple, he knows Jin Danyi very well, he pointed to the flowers and plants he saw along the way and explained their origins and uses, Xuan Zhen and the others listened very engrossed. ,

Walking through flowers and willows all the way, I unknowingly came to another extremely large stone palace.There are four big characters "Yiyoudan Pavilion" written on the plaque in front of the hall, and there are nine bronze medicine tripods in front of the steps. The green smoke in the tripod curls up, and the surrounding area is full of fragrance, but the door behind the tripod is closed, and only one is opened on the side Small corner door.

Just at this time, a young disciple of Qingyutan walked over from the other side of the road with a medicine pot in his arms, and was shocked when he saw Shangguan Lianhua and the others head on.
