Xianmen does not ask about the mundane

Hearing the urging voice outside the door, Zhu Lingyu finally pulled open the neckline and checked the talisman in his pocket. After confirming that there were no omissions, he tidied up his clothes, pulled his cuffs nervously, drew out his sword and stroked it body, then put the sword back into its sheath, and took a deep breath.

"I am coming."

So he pushed the door out.

Today is the first time he went down the mountain since he entered Taoism.

Ever since he climbed up to the roof of Xixing Pavilion with Qi Zuo three years ago and saw the moon, Zhu Lingyu's mood has undergone an earth-shaking change.He was eager to know what it would be like to look down on the earth from the position of the full moon, so he swept away the previous slack in playing and started to study hard day and night.And his talent did not disappoint his diligence, and he comprehended and entered the Tao in less than two years.

On the day Zhu Lingyou entered the Tao, almost the entire Xuanqing Mountain sect erupted.

Their sword cultivators are different from other immortal cultivators such as talisman cultivators.The battle of talisman cultivation mainly relies on talisman seals, and the effectiveness of talisman seals depends entirely on the depth of the spiritual power of talisman cultivation.Therefore, as long as the talisman cultivator has enough spiritual power and enough talisman seal reserves, he can exert great power in the battle.The strength of a sword repairer is not only related to the strength of his own spiritual power, but also linked to the sword repairer's attainments in swordsmanship.

Therefore, for the same cultivation of immortals, sword cultivators often have to devote more energy to practice swordsmanship than other immortal cultivators. Correspondingly, the more you put in, the more rewards you will get. Sword cultivator is the strongest among all immortal cultivators.

But this also exposed one of the biggest shortcomings of sword repair, that is, relying too much on talent in swordsmanship.

Immortal cultivators such as talisman cultivators, as long as they cultivate for a long enough time, will naturally accumulate powerful spiritual power and exert extremely powerful power.And if a sword cultivator does not have a deep understanding of the sword, it is very likely that he will stop outside the sword control technique throughout his life, and will never be able to cross that threshold.

Therefore, among all the sects of cultivating immortals, sword cultivators have always been the most concerned about the time to enter the Tao.The shorter the time it takes for a sword cultivator to enter the Tao, the higher the comprehension of this person in terms of swordsmanship, and the farther he will go on the road of swords.

As for the Sword Cultivator School, since a genius appeared a hundred years ago and then disappeared for no reason, there has never been a decent Sword Cultivator, and the Xuanqing Mountain School has been silent for many years.Everyone said that the era of Jianxiu's family dominance is over, even they themselves began to think so, until Zhu Lingyu appeared in front of everyone's sight.

It only took Zhu Lingyu less than two years to enter the Tao this time, which is the shortest time among the famous sword cultivators in the past, except for the genius who created the four-style sword moves by himself.The people of the Xuanqing Mountain Sect could almost see the day when their sword cultivators would once again stand at the peak of the Immortal Sect.

All the experienced monks in the sect expect this new generation of genius swordsman to go out to practice as soon as possible. Originally, the disciples of the Xuanqing Mountain School can go down the mountain and go out on missions after they enter the Tao and accept the method of strengthening the spirit, but Zhu Hongyan is worried about his growth. It would be inappropriate to go too fast, and he was forced to practice on the mountain for another year before he was allowed to go out, and he had to be accompanied by someone.

So there was this scene at the beginning.

Qi Zuo had been waiting outside the door for quite a while, and when he came out to say hello, he said, "It can be regarded as coming out, are you all ready?"

Zhu Lingyu nodded.

Seeing that he was so nervous that his expression was unnatural, Qi Zuo smiled and patted his head and said, "Don't be nervous, there is a brother here, let's go."

This time they went down the mountain to Wuzhou City, and they were entrusted by the Sect Leader to visit an old friend named Qiao Sheng.

According to the leader, Qiao Sheng was a friend he met in Jianghu when he was young.This friend is very interested in Xunxian Wendao. He once practiced in a small sect for several years, but he didn't have that kind of root. up.

So when he came into contact with Zhu Hongyan by chance and knew that he was a sword cultivator of the Xuanqing Mountain School, he respected him very much and often provided him with convenience in terms of food, clothing, housing and transportation. Introduce each other as close friends, and often travel together to travel around the mountains and rivers.

Zhu Hongyan used his cultivation to ward off evil spirits for the people, and Qiao Sheng used his own money to help the poor. For a while, there were good stories about a pair of chivalrous Taoist friends everywhere in the world.

It's a pity that after Zhu Hongyan returned to the sect to take over the position of head, there was no chance to go down the mountain again. Qiao Sheng still remembered him, and wrote a letter every time he went, telling him what the scenery was here, I will attach a hand-made painting and a local stone with the letter, saying "I appreciate the mountains and rivers here on your behalf."

A few days ago, Qiao Sheng asked someone to deliver another package, which contained a letter, a painting and an exquisite stone as usual.In his letter, he said that he stopped by Wuzhou City for business and went to the famous Fomu Mountain to see the natural Buddha statue. He did not expect that Fomu Mountain is the second most famous scene besides the natural Buddha statue. It is a pity that one of the two hundred-year-old elm trees on the left and one on the right looks like a guardian spirit boy, but one of them was cut down in the middle.

He also said that he was tired from visiting Fomu Mountain this time, and he caught wind and cold the next day after returning, so the paintings were not as fine as before, please don't laugh at him.

Zhu Hongyan and Qiao Sheng haven't seen each other for many years, but he also knows that he has traveled all over the years and has a few years of practice experience. His physical fitness should be excellent. There is no reason why he will be so weak that the cold will invade his body after climbing a mountain.In addition, he heard that the century-old elm tree had been changed, and suspected that something was wrong, so he decided to ask his own nephew to visit this old friend instead of him, and see if there was any dirty thing.

Wuzhou City was originally an ordinary town in the central area of ​​Yan. Since the imperial court dug a canal from south to north to flow through this place decades ago, it has become a city where businessmen and merchants rest and interact, and the population is extremely mobile. , very prosperous.

The two entered the city, and while walking towards the Yuepeng Inn where Qiao Sheng stayed, they took the astrolabe and began to explore the way ahead of time, but there was no change on the astrolabe.Qi Zuo walked all the way and listened carefully to the gossip of the people passing by, but most of what he heard was from the parents, and the only useful information was probably a few people talking about the other tree under the statue of the Buddha mother also withered a few days ago up.

When they arrived at the inn, the two explained their intentions to Xiaoer.When the man first heard that they were here to find someone, he was not very happy at first, and there was only a forced smile on his face, but when he heard the name "Qiao Sheng", his face was full of wrinkles, ass Dianpidian went upstairs to spread the word. It seems that Qiao Sheng spent a lot of money during the few days of resting here.

Qiao Sheng was originally exhausted due to the wind and cold. When he heard that the people who came to see him were from Xuanqing Mountain, and one of them was surnamed Zhu, he immediately got up from the couch, quickly adjusted his clothes, and went downstairs to greet him.

When I got downstairs, I saw two young men with outstanding temperament standing by the counter.He knew at a glance that these two people must be the people who came to look for him from Xuanqing Mountain, so he walked over to Xiao Er who was leading the way and quickly walked in front of them, and asked: "You two are the little fairy masters who came down from Xuanqing Mountain? "

Seeing this man's extraordinary bearing, Qi Zuo cupped his hands and replied, "Yes, Qi Zuo, the second disciple of the Xuanqing Mountain Sect's head, this is my third junior brother Zhu Lingyuan. May I ask you, but Master Qiao?"

Qiao Sheng happily said: "Exactly! I'm Qiao Sheng, is Master Zhu Xiaoxian the nephew that the head of your sect often mentions?"

Zhu Lingyu also hurriedly bowed and replied: "Yes, uncle heard that Master Qiao's health was unwell, and he was worried, but he couldn't get away because he was trapped in the affairs of the door, so he asked my nephew and senior brother to come and visit on her behalf."

Qiao Sheng was excited and grateful when he heard it, but he didn't expect that Zhu Hongyan sent someone to visit him after he just sent a letter.

He also saw that Zhu Lingyou's eyebrows were somewhat similar to Zhu Hongyan's, and he felt even more cordial in his heart, as if through him he saw Zhu Hongyan who traveled hand in hand with him back then. The two invited them to their room, ordered some good wine and food, and asked about Zhu Hongyan's recent situation.

Qiao Sheng deserves to be a person who can become a close friend with Zhu Hongyan. His style of speaking and doing things is very similar to Zhu Hongyan's. He doesn't have any airs of elders. Zhu Lingyu and Qi Yu can get along well when they meet him for the first time. We had a great time.

While eating the dishes, the two listened to Qiao Sheng talk about the things they experienced together in the places they visited with Zhu Hongyan.Because he seemed to be full of energy, he didn't look weak at all, and the narration was very interesting, the two of them forgot the purpose of this trip after listening to it.It wasn't until he coughed twice while talking, and his face suddenly turned pale, that Qi Zuo noticed that the plate in front of him was unusually clean. He had barely moved his chopsticks for such a long time just now, obviously because he was unwell. Appetite's sake.

"Why is Master Qiao's illness still not cured?"

Qi Zuo said, quickly got up and helped the buddy help the man to sit on the couch, and took his hand to feel his pulse.

Qiao Sheng forced a smile and said: "My little nephew is laughing, I always boasted that I am in good health, but I didn't expect that I would stay sick for many days after catching a little cold, and I don't know if I am really old. "

Qi Zuo checked his pulse carefully but did not answer, Zhu Lingyu then continued, "Uncle Qiao is just in his [-]s, how can he be old. You are just too tired, just rest more on weekdays."

Qiao Sheng was about to praise the child for his manners, Zhu Hongyan taught him very well, when he heard Qi Zun mutter "strange", several people looked at him nervously, waiting for the next part of his sentence, As a result, he never continued.

Zhu Lingyu hurriedly asked: "Brother, what did you find out?"

Qi Zuo came back to his senses, paused and said: "Oh, it's nothing, it's true that I'm suffering from the wind and cold, and I have a secret recipe to dispel the cold. It's going to get better."

Qiao Sheng couldn't help but sighed when he heard this: "Brother Zhu is really amazing. The apprentices he taught are all so reliable, so I will thank my nephew first, and I will give the prescription to Xiao Tao in a while, and let him go to the pharmacy to get the medicine. That's it. I want to treat my two virtuous nephews well, but it is a pity that I am afraid that my body will be unsustainable, so I can only continue at another time. The two virtuous nephews have traveled a long way and are exhausted. I want two more rooms, so you can rest and rest Bar."

Qi Zuo said: "Please ask Master Qiao to be concerned, then Master Qiao is good at self-cultivation, and the younger generation will come to bother you later."
