Cinderella: The Legend of Yunhua

But it is said that the crane that Baguio recruited that day was a spirit beast raised by the Qing Jing faction, specially used for long-distance trekking.It has white feathers all over its body, its beak is three feet long, and its crest is bright red.The wings spread out about three feet, they are strong and powerful, and they can cover twenty miles with one blow, and they don't tire.

Lian Que hadn't introduced Qi into his body, and with a mortal body, he couldn't fly with Baguio in the sky for a long time, so Biguio summoned this spirit bird from the door as a mount.The crane flew with them for more than 20 days. On the way, they passed a big river. From the air, they saw a vast expanse of green and vast expanse of water, reclining among the mountains. Lian Que pointed to the river and asked, "Auntie, where is this river?" The river is so majestic that I can't see its end from the sky, where is it going to flow?"

Baguio replied, "This river is called Yanshui, and it is a boundary river that separates the northern region and the eastern region. It develops from Jiuyin Mountain in the extreme north of the eastern region and flows through this place, and finally goes to Guixu. After crossing this river, the It's the Eastern Territory."

"How does the Eastern Territory compare to the Northern Territory?" Lian Que continued to ask.

"Compared with the Northern Territory, the Eastern Territory has a wider area and more abundant resources. It is a holy place for cultivating immortals. There are three famous schools here that have been passed down for more than ten thousand years. There are hundreds of other small and medium sects, and there are countless wonderful places in Lingshan, you will know when you succeed in building the foundation and come out to travel."

"Auntie, after Yanshui, how long will it take to go to Shangqingmen?"

"It will take another three to five days."

Along the way, the two sat on the backs of the cranes, watching all things and customs, pointing rivers and mountains, very comfortable.Baguio talked about customs and personnel, the rise and fall of various sects, the rise and fall of honor and disgrace, and Lian Que benefited from listening with high interest.

After flying for another five days, Lian Que saw a towering peak in the mountains rising from the ground and piercing the sky, as if standing here quietly since ancient times.The overwhelming aura is so breathtaking that it is beyond words, Lian Que sighed in a daze, "Auntie, this mountain is really high, even if I stand in the air, I can't see the peak, it really goes straight to the sky. "

Bi Yao looked at the mountain peak and replied, "That is the first peak of Shangqingmen, Wanren Peak. Let's go down, the mountain gate is not far away." She made a formula, and the crane stopped firmly in one place mountain gate.

Lian Que stopped at the foot of the mountain, looked up and saw a huge mountain gate, which was built of white jade, about a hundred feet high, majestic, majestic, majestic, and a jade flat was hung across the gate, with three characters in the flat, saying: Shangqingmen.The words contain the way of heaven is really wonderful, mysterious and mysterious, Lian Que is dazzled at first glance.Standing outside the door were two disciples in gray robes with green pines and green bamboos engraved on the skirts.

Baguio stepped forward, took out a jade talisman and handed it to one of the disciples.The disciple took it and took a closer look, saluted politely, and said, "It turns out that Qinglian Master Qinglian is visiting, where do I need to report?" The one is a real person again, and the gatekeeper disciple is very polite.

Bi Yao said, "Don't worry, I'll go on my own." After that, when the disciple opened the mountain protection array, he and Lian Que walked in.

After entering this mountain gate, there is a section of stone stairs, with a total of 99 steps, leading to the top of the mountain.The stone ladders are all made of white jade. Looking up from below, one can only feel the aura shining, and the end cannot be seen.Baguio mobilized his true energy, and took Lian Que up to the top of the mountain in one breath. When he reached the peak, he saw a large hall standing in front of him, with green tiles and vermilion walls, and a cloud-swallowing beast stood on each wing horn, and a pair of pillars were carved The jade unicorn is majestic and majestic, so spectacular.The top of the mountain is all rocks, except for a few old and old pines that are proud of the snow and frost, there is no flower or grass to compete with it.

Looking down, there are small courtyards from the waist of the mountain shade to the valley, densely spaced.

"This is the lecture hall for the disciples of the outer sect, and the small courtyards below are their daily practice residences." Bi Yao said.

Lian Que was terrified, the place where the disciples of the outer sect were located had such a grandeur, it really was a giant of the Eastern Region.

The two of them didn't stay here too long, Baguio explained and then led Lian Que Yukong to fly forward.After passing a few more hills, Lian Que saw a huge plain, very flat, as if the peak was cut away by the power of a god, surrounded by jade railings, Bi Yao said, "This is the martial arts field, you will know later. I'll take you to find someone first." After saying that, they speeded up, and the two of them flew over dozens of peaks, and stopped at the foot of a mountain, where there was a rock standing tall, engraved with the three characters "Yade Bamboo Peak".There was already a boy waiting there at the foot of the mountain. When he saw the person coming, he greeted him with a smile, "Reverend Qinglian, go up quickly, Master has been waiting for a long time."

At the top of the mountain, there are jagged rocks and bamboos on all sides.This bamboo is so huge that it can cover the sky and block out the sun.The mountain breeze is blowing, and the fragrance of bamboo leaves is blowing in front of you. You can see a man in a white jacket and a soap gauze robe sitting between the bamboo forests. His long hair hangs down behind him, and he is only tied with a bamboo tube.His eyes were smiling, his jade face was thin and his cheeks were thin. When he smiled, the corners of his mouth were slightly upturned, in a relaxed and romantic way.Seeing the person coming, he got up to greet him, and saw that his figure was dignified, his bones were surprisingly strong, the man said, "Junior Sister Bi Yao, how are you doing?"

Baguio nodded, "How is Brother Wen?"

"Very good." The man smiled heartily, "Come here for him?" Then his eyes fell on the exquisite young man who was carved in pink and jade beside Baguio.

Baguio pulled Lian Que over, and said, "Lian'er, this is real Wen Haoran, you've seen him before."

"I've met Master Wen." Lian Que saluted respectfully.

Baguio stroked Lian Que's hair, and said, "Lian'er has a clear mind and a deep talent in rhythm. I want him to join the school of my senior brother so that he can practice well."

"It's not yet the time for the big competition in the sect, and this kid hasn't entered yet." The man sized him up and said with a frown.

Bi Yao said, "Just put it in the outer door for now, I know the rules in the door are strict, you can't favoritism, I just hope that the senior brother can take care of it."

"Don't worry about this. It's just that you know the rules of the sect. You can only live outside. I will first introduce him to Elder Yang of the outer gate to take care of him. I will go over and give pointers when I have free time." Wen Haoran said loudly.

Bi Yao received Wen Haoran's response, she was certain in her heart, and said softly, "Lian'er, you are so lucky to stay here, and when you succeed in building the foundation and stand out in the big competition in the sect, you can find a good master to be an inner disciple Concentrate on practicing. Don't disappoint your father and my high expectations."

"Aunt Baguio, don't worry, I will not let you down." The young man's eyes were firm.

"Then I will leave, and you will be arranged by Master Wen." After finishing speaking, Bi Yao said goodbye to the man, looked at Lian Que again, and then drove the crane back.

The young man stared at the direction of the crane going north for a long time, unable to regain his senses, feeling a little lonely in his heart for a while.He was born into this world, and the two people who took good care of him and accompanied him for a long time have left him. Now, he is going to face a whole new world. He only said to himself silently in his heart, I want to respect and love myself, and work hard for it. Never let daddy and aunt down.

"Boy, are you back to your senses? When you're back to your senses, report to the outer door with me." Wen Haoran joked.

"Ah."

After finishing speaking, Wen Haoran returned to the previous hall with Lian Que.Entering from the side door of the main hall, there is a courtyard, and in the room sits an old man with white hair and childlike face, who is the chief elder of the disciples of the outer sect, and also a real person of Jindan stage.Wen Haoran brought Lian Que to the old man, and said, "This son was recommended by Qinglian Master Qinglian."

Elder Yang carefully looked at the young man up and down for a while, then took out a round jade bi, and said slowly, "My child, put your hand into this jade, let go of your thoughts, and don't have the heart to resist."

Lian Que breathed out and walked forward, let go of his mind, and imprinted his left hand in the jade. After a few breaths, a light flashed in the jade, and red, orange, green, blue, and purple walked around in turn. Finally, a white light flashed, and the whole jade bi A piece of rich green is forced out, and the green is also bursting with silver light, scorching the eyes.

Wen Haoran was horrified when he saw the changes in Yubi, Elder Chaoyang said, "What's the matter? How come there is a divine light beyond the five elements in the jade?"

Yang Zhenren stroked his beard and thought for a while, "This child is a tree of the five elements, and he is a talented person with a single spiritual root. It's just that the silver light in this wall looks pure and soft. I have been stationed at the outer gate for a hundred years, and I have tested countless spiritual roots, but I have never Seeing such a spirit in the budding jade, this weather does not look like the light of the five elements, but it may have the essence of the sun. It's just that the power of the moon is the power of the stars. The body absorbs it, and this child has no spiritual power in his body, so how come the ether, yin, essence, and essence are protruding in his spiritual root calculation?"

Wen Haoran preached, "I don't know it. This son was sent to my door by Master Qinglian of the Qingjing Sect to take care of me. I guess he saw a talent from heaven and wanted to support him. If Elder Yang thinks he can accept him Under the door, I'll ask you to make a few more points."

Elder Yang nodded, and said, "The aura is compelling, he is a talent to create!"

Wen Haoran motioned for Lian Que to take his hand off the bud jade, and said, "Since you have passed the spiritual root test, and you were personally recommended by Master Qinglian, I heard that you have also heard the Taoism in her cave for many years, so let's stay at the outer gate first. "

When Lian Que heard that the two were willing to take him back to the outer sect, he made up his mind and said, "Thank you two seniors for your support, I will definitely practice well."

Elder Yang nodded, expressing his satisfaction, and said, "Follow me!" After that, he led Lian Que to another courtyard, which is located behind the central axis of the lecture hall, and is also a majestic and dignified hall.Lian Que followed Elder Yang approaching the hall, and there stood a golden statue in the hall, Elder Yang said, "This hall enshrines Ling Yinzi, the founder of the school."

Lian Que Wen Zhichao bowed to the golden statue.

Elder Yang continued, "You only enter the outer door now, first pay homage to the ancestor of the Kaipai. If you practice well in the future, once you build a foundation, enter the inner door through Dabi, which master you will worship, Then go to the inner sect apprentice ceremony." Saying that, he handed Lian Que three sticks of cloud incense.

Burning the clouds and incense, he kowtowed respectfully to Ling Yinzi three times, and only then did he enter the Shangqing Gate dignifiedly.

After the ceremony, Elder Yang said to Lian Que with a solemn expression, "Disciple Lian Que, you are now my outer disciple of the Shangqing Sect. You must accept the rules of the Shangqing Sect and you must not violate them! My sect emphasizes the way of forgetting emotions." , the first precept is abstinence from thoughts and emotions: one must forget about feelings and thoughts and practice without desire, so that the affections and desires in the mortal world cannot breed among the disciples; the second precept is abstaining from lust and pleasure. All precepts are sent to Wen Xinchi to be punished and not disobeyed. The third precept is the admonition left by the master, that is, to care about the common people, to benefit the world, to perform meritorious deeds, and not to commit reckless crimes and kill people, otherwise, they will be punished with whips , and the rest of the detailed rules are all on this jade slip, so you can take a closer look at it when you go back."

After receiving the jade slips, Lian Que respectfully replied yes, without further words.

Elder Yang led Lian Que back to his original place after the training.

Seeing the two come back, Wen Haoran said, "Since you have become a teacher, you will start to lecture in the sutra hall and listen to Master Yang's sermon tomorrow. Now, I will send you back to rest."

After all, Lian Que received his identity badge, two sets of cassocks, and a book of exercises for the Qi training period, and went to the valley with Wen Haoran to find an empty courtyard and live there.

Haoran didn't stay for long, and left after a few words of advice.

Lian Que tidied up, and carefully checked the school rules in the jade slips. They were all precepts of not committing evil and making trouble, and respecting the teacher and respecting virtue. The punishment was a bit harsh, but he only wanted to do good, so he didn't think there was anything wrong with it. embarrassing.After a while of exhaustion, he sat on the bed and still felt a little unbelievable. This is the beginning of Shangqingmen's new life?
