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

Ten days passed by in a blink of an eye, and when Xuan Zhen stepped out of the valley of thought, it was exactly midnight, and Ye Feng roared out of the valley behind him, shaking his blue and white Taoist robe until it rattled, and the jade belt behind his head couldn't keep flying .Xuan Zhen sighed softly, straightened the jade belt, and walked a few steps towards Qionghua Palace, suddenly remembered that Master Taiqing was probably already asleep, so he had to turn around and go back to Jianwuping.

I tossed and turned on the couch all night without getting a good sleep, and I fell asleep in a daze in the early morning.In the dream, I first came to a bustling market place, but I saw lanterns on the street like daytime, and pedestrians flocked, many of them wore masks, as if it was a festival, and in the crowd, I saw a very familiar lavender light shirt. Flash, the scene has changed before catching up.The green grass is like a rug, and the sword shadows are messy. It is actually the sword dance floor where the disciples of the sect practice and live.There were a few people standing on the ground, and from a distance they looked like Xuan Xiao and Yun Tianqing's hozen, only a few scattered bickering words caught their ears with the wind, and they felt a burst of bright light, and when they opened their eyes, they suddenly came to a dark place. where.There was no light in the darkness, only the howling of ghosts and wolves, and suddenly a pair of rotten arms stretched out from under his feet, trying to drag him down, and one person snickered behind the thick fog that could not be seen clearly, It seems to be extremely lucky.

Xuan Zhen's heart skipped a beat, and he woke up involuntarily. When he opened his eyes, he realized that his underwear had been soaked in cold sweat.Just as he was about to sit up, he suddenly touched something on his forehead, it was soft and fluffy, and the skin it rubbed was very itchy.Looking up, it turned out to be the gray rabbit with a lot of spirit.

The hare was brought by him from Shouyang to Hengshan, and then from Hengshan to Qionghua sect, which can be regarded as not far away.When Xuan Xiao thought about sending it back to Zixuan, Su Xin had already returned from Shouyang and brought a bad news.

That day Xuan Xiao brought a message to Su Xin for him, and entrusted her to send the little girl Zi Xuan back to southern Xinjiang. Su Xin was already on good terms with Xuan Zhen, and often liked to go down the mountain for a stroll, so naturally she agreed and went out the next day Go to the Central Plains.Unexpectedly, when I arrived in Shouyang, I found the inn, but found that the guest room where Zixuan lived was already empty. I asked the boss again, and found out that as soon as Xuanzhen left, the little girl left Shouyang with her back foot. Don't forget to leave a book.

The letter Suxin brought back together, and personally sent it to Sihuigu.Xuan Zhen read a few words in Zhan Xin, and suddenly couldn't laugh or cry.Zixuan is a girl from southern Xinjiang. She hasn't read many Chinese books. Not to mention her handwriting is crooked, and there are a lot of mistakes, but she made it clear: she didn't plan to go back so early when she came to the Central Plains, and she didn't want to play. It is enough that she will never go back and face her mother-in-law's fierce face again. Before, she deliberately followed Xuan Zhen's words to let him feel at ease, but in fact, she had already made up her mind to sneak away by herself. One person can also roam the rivers and lakes, if there is a fate in the future, we will meet again and so on.

After thinking about it, Xuan Zhen kind of agrees. Although this girl is naughty, she has a careful heart. In addition, she has also learned some Southern Xinjiang thaumaturgy. It is the blessing of that person's previous life to not provoke others. Afraid of being bullied by others?

Putting this matter aside, the rest is a big worry in my heart.He also asked Su Xin about the matter of the Green Jade Altar, but Su Xin shook his head and said that since the three of them came back, the master only ordered the disciples to restrain themselves and devote themselves to cultivation, and did not do anything else instruct.

Green Jade Altar... but I don't know how many villages have suffered disasters now?Xuan Zhen frowned, turned over and put on his clothes, the gray rabbit seemed to have sensed it, looked up at him and curled up into a gray fluffy ball again, his behavior was full of disdain, as if he had already understood what Xuan Zhen was thinking. think.

Xuan Zhen raised his eyebrows slightly, swept his wide sleeves across the mattress, took the hair ball into his hands, and said with a half-smile: "Little thing, you go too." Then he hid his hands with the rabbit. In the sleeves, he walked quickly to the door.

Outside Qionghua Palace, the disciples standing in front of the steps saw Xuan Zhen from a distance, and all bowed in salute.

"Eldest brother, this is the first time we've seen you since you came back." One of them said with a smile, "Coincidentally, just now the head master said that if you come, just go in, he has something to tell you."

Xuan Zhen nodded, then stepped up the stone steps and entered the main hall of Qionghua Palace.

Sure enough, Daoist Taiqing was sitting on the main seat in the hall waiting for him, seeing him coming in, he still looked serious and said coldly: "Have you ever figured it out after staying in Sihui Valley for these days?"

Xuan Zhen remained silent.

A trace of fear flashed in Taiqing's eyes, and after a while he sighed suddenly: "That's all! There is a letter here, just take a look at it." As he spoke, he raised his sleeves, and the piece of paper in his palm floated flat. Get down and hang in front of Xuan Zhen.

Xuan Zhen grabbed the letter paper, shook it away and glanced at it, his complexion changed slightly, and he began to read carefully.It turned out that the letter did not come from anywhere else, it was the reply from the head of Qingyutan to Master Taiqing's letter, and the letter read: "Brother Taiqing of the Qionghua School: I was shocked to hear that such a tragedy happened at the foot of Mount Heng. The day before yesterday, I went out of the customs. I asked my disciples to investigate carefully and found out that the disaster originated from my sect. I am extremely ashamed! Fortunately, my senior brother Gao Tuzhai is kind-hearted and discovered this in time, so that the disaster did not spread to other places. Talking about its origin, it has a great relationship with a strange stone brought back from southern Xinjiang by the elders of our school decades ago. This stone has the ability to store souls. The village at the foot of the mountain used the opportunity of distributing medicinal pills to secretly prescribe medicine, capture the souls of the villagers and put them into stones, and use the power of human souls to make alchemy in private. His heart is sinister and his crime is unforgivable. Tong Zhi has now exhausted his skills and is imprisoned in the forbidden area of ​​the gate. After this For this matter, we will be strict with our disciples, and we will never teach the tragedy to happen again, and the brothers don’t have to worry about it anymore.” The signature below is “Hengshan Green Jade Altar Lingxu Zi pays homage to me”.

"Have you finished reading it?" Seeing Xuan Zhen holding onto the letter and standing still, Master Taiqing said slowly, "In this way, can you rest assured?"

Xuan Zhen frowned and remained silent.He knew that the master let him read the letter so that he would stop worrying about trivial matters outside the sect and concentrate on cultivating the long-cherished wish of the Qionghua sect. Guo Tongzhi, the young disciple looked timid and shy, seeing Shangguan Lianhua was like a mouse seeing a cat, he was very frightened, how could he look like a vicious person who dared to take thousands of lives?What's more, if it is a rare treasure in the sect, how can a beginner disciple be able to see it easily, and how can a young man with low skill control a strange treasure that can accommodate thousands of souls at every turn?On the contrary, it was Shangguan Lianhua...

All kinds of doubts are intertwined in my mind, but it is difficult to confide in the master.Not to mention that Daoist Taiqing is fully focused on the yin and yang swords in the forbidden area and Qionghua's thousand-year long-cherished wish at this time, and has no time to meddle in other affairs, even if he has doubts about Shangguan Lianhua in his heart, he can't do so without evidence Speak up.After thinking and thinking, Xuan Zhen raised his eyes to look at Master Taiqing, forced a smile, bowed and said: "Since the culprit has been arrested and brought to justice, I naturally have nothing to worry about." The head of the altar, the real culprit would restrain himself, but that Shangguan Lianhua seems to be valued by senior Lingxuzi, and he is also the head disciple, if one day he becomes the master of the green jade altar, I'm afraid... well, then... If this is really the case, it will be decades later, so there is no need to rush it.After comforting myself in this way, the heavy stone in my heart seemed to be a little smaller.

Master Taiqing said again: "The matter of the Qingyu Altar has come to an end, and we should take care of ourselves in the future, and stop distracting ourselves from trivial matters. It is said that there are only six years left for the demon world to descend. You should work hard and set an example, it will be of great benefit to yourself, and it will also be of great benefit to the Qionghua Sect." After speaking, he waved his sleeves and let out a white glow, "Now I will give you the mental method of the ninth stage, If you go down, you must understand it carefully, and you will be tested as a teacher in a few days."

The white light shot towards Xuan Zhen's face, he hurriedly raised his palm to catch the light in the palm of his hand, he turned it hard, turned it over and saw that the white light had turned into a small piece of white and beautiful jade, densely packed with small words on the jade, The letter is exactly Qionghua's superior mind method.Xuan Zhen took Bai Yu back into his arms, knelt down and said: "Thank you, Master, this disciple will definitely live up to Master's wishes."

Master Taiqing nodded and stroked his beard, waved his hand and said: "Go."

Back on the sword dance floor, Xuan Zhen stretched his hand into his bosom, caressing the jade ring, feeling happy and worried at the same time. The happy thing is that after practicing the ninth level of heart method, the skill will rise to another level, but the worry is so much Come on, when the Qionghua faction fights against the demon world in the future, I will have to take the lead and kill those monsters under the sword.

Xuan Zhen, Xuan Zhen, how did the master and the elders teach you?Those monsters are inherently evil and cannot be tolerated in the world. What is the difference between not killing them and letting them harm people?Is it right for you to feel pity for a group of monsters with no humanity at all, and to disregard the expectations of your master and the elders?

Xuan Zhen was reprimanding himself secretly, when he suddenly heard shouts in front of him: "Senior Brother, Senior Brother!"

Looking up, it turned out that Suxin on the stone platform in Pingzhong was beckoning to him, and there were two women standing beside her, one was facing him, as beautiful as peaches and plums, as cold as ice, it was her junior sister Suyao, and the other was facing her. A waiter was just like them, with his back turned to this side, he couldn't see his face, but his figure was quite slender and slender, and his back was somewhat familiar.

Xuan Zhen smiled slightly, temporarily put all his thoughts behind him, and turned towards the stone platform.The circle around the jade platform in Pingzhong is hollowed out to form a pool, surrounded by curved water, about three feet wide.Xuan Zhen went to the edge of the pool to reach the point of his toes, and his body made a turning point in mid-air, and landed lightly in the middle of the stone platform.

Su Xin clapped her hands in praise, stepped forward with a smile and pulled his sleeves and dragged him to the front of the other two, said with a smile: "Eldest senior brother, as soon as you came back, the teacher drove him into the Valley of Thought Return, that kid Yun Tianqing often goes there There, you may have known each other for a long time, Junior Brother Xuanxiao also met once when he delivered cakes last time, only our new junior sister may have never met, so come and meet, Suyu is a beauty!"

"Suxin, how can you speak so frivolously? You don't look like a girl, but you look a bit like Junior Brother Yun." Suyao frowned, "It's really good not to learn, it's hard to be elegant if you learn all the time." thing!"

Xuan Zhen smiled slightly, turned his head, and met the woman who was standing quietly.But the eyebrows are like thin leaves, the eyes are like lacquer spots, the vermilion lips are powdered, and the jade face is covered with frost. The extremely beautiful face is full of graceful melancholy, and it is even more fascinating to look at. It's just that Xuan Zhen has already seen such a beauty many days ago. Seeing it familiarly, the smile became wider at the moment, and he said softly: "Yu'er... Junior Sister Suyu, I haven't seen you for a long time, is it okay?"

Suyu pursed her lips, bowed her head and said, "Suyu is all well, and I have to worry about Senior Brother Lao." The warmth in her gaze disappeared in a flash, and then there was continuous sadness that surged up.

As soon as Xuan Zhen saw her, he suddenly remembered what Master Taiqing once said, that Yu'er's father only had one year to live, and felt ashamed for a while, and his complexion became much stronger, he smiled and stopped talking.

When he was in embarrassment, a gust of wind suddenly came from behind him, followed by a clear and laughing voice: "Suyu, Suyu! Look, what is this?"

The four of them turned their heads together, and when they met their eyes, they saw a large area of ​​bright red and fragrant, attracting bees and butterflies.After a large bouquet of phoenix flowers poked out Yun Tianqing's handsome and smiling face, he approached Suyu very affectionately, and said flatteringly, "Suyu, didn't you say that your hometown is full of this kind of phoenix flowers? The mountain has grown a lot too, I managed to avoid Uncle Chongguang just now, and picked a bunch, take a look, isn't it beautiful?" Looking at his diligent appearance, if there is a big tail behind him, I'm afraid he would have died a long time ago. Shake broken.

Suyu only glanced at it, and there was another layer of worry in his eyes, and after a long time, he said calmly: "Nature is beautiful."

"Then, how about putting it in your room?" Yun Tianqing didn't notice it at all, still "shaking her head and tail" and said with a smile, "Phoenix flowers are so beautiful, and you, Suyu, are also so beautiful, wouldn't it be human faces and phoenix flowers matching each other by then? Is it red?"

But Suyu didn't appreciate it, and said indifferently: "Thank you, Senior Brother Yun, I don't need it."

The radiance of Yun Tianqing's face suddenly dimmed, and she wanted to persuade again in frustration.Su Xin next to him couldn't help but burst out laughing: "Yun Tianqing, the senior brothers and sisters are all here, could it be that you only see Junior Sister Suyu in your monkey's eyes?"

Only then did Yun Tianqing notice the three people next to him, and he turned his head and smiled again: "The two senior sisters Su Xin and Su Yao have a lot of adults, so naturally they won't care about me as a junior brother..." Halfway through the conversation, he glanced at Seeing Xuan Zhen, he was both surprised and delighted, "Hey, Junior Brother, why are you here, have you been released from Sihui Valley?"

"What nonsense!" Su Xin frowned, grabbed Yun Tianqing's ear and turned it hard, and said with a smile on her lips, "This is Master's first disciple, our senior brother Xuan Zhen, he is your junior brother , then Senior Sister, don’t I want to be a head shorter than you?”

Xuan Zhen couldn't help but raised his eyebrows to look at Yun Tianqing, and suddenly felt that his sleeves moved, the gray rabbit had been quiet all the way, and at this moment, it seemed that he was unwilling to be ignored, showing a small head, with red eyes turned up to glance at the pretty girl on the opposite side The young man moved his three-petal mouth as if he was also laughing at him.

Yun Tianqing tilted his head, half of his face was distorted by pain, half of his face was shocked as if struck by lightning, and he cried out: "What? Senior brother?!"
