Chapter Forty-Nine: Dragon's Tooth Silkworm
"Leapfrogging and ascending?" Nanfeng was heartbroken, he took a huge risk to stay in Taiqing Mountain just to confer the throne, otherwise, he could completely practice from elsewhere, and wait until the magic was completed and then come back to avenge Tianyuanzi.

Tian Qizi nodded, pointed to the stone table in front of the house and asked him to sit down, "The Taoist priest confers the Gong, there are requirements for character cultivation, and they need to be promoted step by step, and they need to be promoted once every two years at the earliest, which is the genius of Tianzhong, and they also need to enter the Tao for eighteen years to be awarded the Taixuan, and the promotion of the Sanqing Dharma Fighting Law is the only exception." ”
Nanfeng sat down and spoke, "Uncle Shi, is the disciple who has to be awarded Taixuan the future master?"
Tian Qizi then sat down, "Yes, the three disciples who won the previous Dharma Fighting Battles are all the future masters of the three sects, unless the sin is unforgivable, even the current head of the sect cannot be changed." ”
Nanfeng nodded, the Sanqing Dharma meeting that Tianqizi said is indeed an opportunity, in front of the eyes of the three sects, if he can win the battle, he can directly confer Taixuan, even if Tianmingzi and others hinder it afterwards and frame him, it is a big deal that he will not succeed to the throne smoothly, but it is a certainty to confer Taixuan.
Thinking of this, Nanfeng suddenly remembered something, "Uncle Shi, can it be abolished after the award?"
Tianqizi waved his hand, "After the confession, there is a vocation, even if you commit a mistake, you will be punished by the heavenly court, and the mortal ancestral court can only cut off the Taoist book, but it cannot abolish the vocation." ”
When Nanfeng heard this, he was determined that before acquiring something, the most important thing was to make sure that it was worth obtaining.
Sure it's worth getting, the next step is to plan how to get it, he hasn't been getting started for a few days, don't say magic anymore, he doesn't even know martial arts, there is less than a year before the Sanqing Festival, even if he practices hard day and night, he can't practice any Taoism.
"Uncle Shi, what are your plans?" Nanfeng asked, since Tianqizi told him the news, he must have made all arrangements.
"I've just learned about this, so let's just tell you that we will operate secretly and work together to seek. Apocalypse said.
When Nanfeng heard this, his heart was half cold, and it turned out that he hadn't even scratched the eight characters about this matter.
Tianqizi got up from his seat, went into the room and came out with a bowl of rice wine, looked around and took out a very small porcelain bottle from his arms, and handed it to Nanfeng, "Take it with rice wine." ”
Nanfeng took the porcelain vase, pulled out the cork and smelled it, there was a bit of grass and wood, "Uncle Shi, what is this?"
"This is the dragon's tooth silkworm, which is extinct, this one was caught eighty years ago, and I have helped you grind it into powder. "Apocalypse pushed the rice wine in front of the south wind.
"Uncle Shi, what's the use of this thing?" Nanfeng asked again.
"Obey it, will I harm you?"
Nanfeng didn't dare to ask any more, poured the white powder in the porcelain bottle into the rice wine, closed his eyes and drank it. This thing is the same as the Qi Replenishing Pill that I took before, and I don't feel abnormal after taking it.
Then Tianqizi asked two more trivial things, one is whether there are any suspicious people who have been involved with him for some reason in the recent period, and the other is whether Tiangangzi and Tianmingzi have summoned him. Nanfeng shook his head, and everyone stayed away from him at this time, and no one wanted to make friends with him. And Tiangangzi didn't talk to him alone, as for the head of Tianmingzi, he hadn't seen it at all during this time.
Tianqizi nodded slowly, "Some time ago, they sent people to the north, I was worried that they were going to check on you, but now it seems that I am too worried, okay, you can go back." ”
Nanfeng thanked him and left, but he did not go back to the Xiahe Palace, but took the path down the mountain, ran to the wine shop in the town below the mountain to buy drinks and snacks, and went back to sleep in the room from the secular palace to the change. When a ministry asked, he said that he had been called by the Son of the Apocalypse to speak.
The next morning, I went to the morning class as usual, listened a lot, and slowly memorized the scriptures of the morning class, and recited the scriptures with everyone so that I was not as sleepy as when I sat down, and after breakfast, I went to listen to the scriptures.
After sitting down, he found that Zheng Xian was not in his seat, and waited until Mr. began to teach and lecture, Zheng Xian's seat was still empty.
Nanfeng was suspicious in his heart, and he turned his head and ears, asking left and right, but everyone didn't know where Zheng Xian had gone.
Nanfeng couldn't sit still, and ran to Zheng Xian's residence, but found that Zheng Xian was not in the room, and her clothes and personal belongings were nowhere to be seen.
Nanfeng was not very familiar with the ministry of the lower temple, and it was not convenient to ask, so he ran to the bottom of the mountain to look for Lingxizi, who actually knew about it, "Her mother died of illness last night, and she went home to mourn. ”
"Oh. "The south wind was very frustrated.
"Do you have any thoughts about her?" asked Reiko with a smile.
"No, no. Nanfeng shook his head in denial.
"If you don't think about it, ask her what she is doing?" Reikiko patted Nanfeng on the shoulder, "It's a pity, I'm afraid she won't come back." ”
Nanfeng looked at Ling Xizi suspiciously, and Ling Xizi said, "She is the daughter of an official family, and it will take two years to lose her parents, and she will be married to someone else by then." ”
"Senior brother, is her mother really dead?" Nanfeng frowned, he suspected that someone didn't want him to be with Zheng Xian, so he deliberately took Zheng Xian away, as for the loss of his mother Ding Jian, it was probably just an excuse.
"Needless to say, I led the mourning family up the mountain. Rekiko said.
"Does she know that family?" asked Nanfeng again.
"Of course I know, the carriage that picked her up was also from Imperial Doctor Zheng's house. Ling Xizi raised his hand to pick up people, "The time has come, go back to the mountain to learn the scriptures, why is the eldest husband without a wife, if he can become a purple qi real person one day, it is not difficult to marry the princess." ”
Nanfeng sighed helplessly, thanked him, and turned back to the mountain.
Thinking about it carefully, this matter must be true, Tianchengzi and others deliberately transferred him to Zheng Xian's side in order to stop him from skipping class, since this arrangement was made, how could Zheng Xian be driven away from him.
Nanfeng sighed and returned to the mountain, and sat down, listening to the scriptures with a hundred scoundrels, although Zheng Xian has never responded to his overtures, but the person he likes just left, he didn't even say hello, he didn't even say goodbye, and he would be depressed and melancholy.
Losing the motivation to study, Nanfeng began to skip class again, he never forgot to avenge his master, but he also knew very well that even if he studied these boring scriptures, he would not be able to avenge his master, the key was to see the arrangement of Tianqizi and others, listening to the scriptures was useless, and learning spells was the right thing.
But Apocalypse has disappeared since the last time he saw him, and Nanfeng has been to the wooden house where he lives several times, and the door has been locked, presumably going out.
A good friend is a good friend, even if you don't stay together all the time, you are still good friends, seeing that Nanfeng was depressed and lost, Cao Meng was secretly anxious, found an opportunity to come over, and pointed to Kun Dao in the team to show him, "That woman has outstanding appearance, very good." ”
"What?" Nanfeng tilted his head to look at him.
"What are you talking about?" Cao Meng asked rhetorically.
"It's not twenty but eighteen, so old, I want to be a mother?" Nanfeng pouted and tilted his head.
"Look at that again. Cao Meng pointed to another person, honest people are not necessarily ignorant, Cao Meng is twenty years old, and he knows more than Nanfeng.
"The face is so long, it's almost catching up with the donkey, will you want it for you?" sighed Nanfeng.
Cao Meng heard what Nanfeng said unpleasantly, and hurriedly reached out to cover his mouth, "Don't talk nonsense, she is Princess Leren, the younger sister of the current emperor." ”
"It's better to leave such a princess to others to enjoy, I don't want it. Nanfeng muttered in a low voice, scolding the princess for being a donkey, which is equivalent to scolding the emperor for being a donkey, and insulting the emperor is to punish the nine clans, although he does not have the nine clans to punish others.
Seeing that the two women he was referring to didn't like Nanfeng, Cao Meng pointed to another one.
Seeing that Cao Meng was referring to a girl about ten years old, Nanfeng was annoyed, "Go aside, don't bother me." ”
Cao Meng had good intentions and wanted to point out, but there are less than a hundred Taoists who have entered this year, and there are only twenty or thirty Kun Dao, and it seems that there are only a few, and there is no room for choice.
"It's class, why are you going?" shouted Cao Meng Nanfeng, who had left the group.
"The apocalypse is looking for me to speak. "Nanfeng used the Apocalypse as a shield again.
"The real person of the Apocalypse is not in the mountains, which one are you fooling?" Cao Meng said.
Nanfeng ignored him, took a detour down the mountain, and ran to the town to play.
Tianchengzi is the assistant of the lower and lower halls, Nanfeng's actions naturally can't escape his eyes, but he didn't stop it severely, the more stubborn Nanfeng behaves, the more Tiangangzi and Tianmingzi dare not accept him, from this point of view, Nanfeng's skipping class is beneficial to both himself and them.
The town under the mountain is more than ten miles away from Taiqing Mountain, and it takes half a pillar of incense to copy the path, this town is very large, two to three times larger than the town in the north, sometimes there will be other Taoists in the town, and no one strictly restricts them after the Taoist priest of the lower and lower halls, and the time outside the morning and evening classes can be left from the mountain.
During this time, he saw Lingyanzi twice from the town, Lingyanzi and several other Taoist aunts bought daily necessities together, and for convenience, they all changed into casual clothes and did not wear Taoist robes.
In all fairness, Lingyanzi is not ugly, with a melon seed face, eyebrows, phoenix eyes, a nose that is not big or small, and lips that are not thin or thick, and he looks elegant and refined after changing into vulgar clothes.
But Nanfeng has seen her ruthlessness, this guy bared his teeth and glared when he hit someone, he looked so fierce, he beat her now, he avoided it first, and then looked for an opportunity to retaliate when he was powerful.
That golden bean has already been exchanged for silver money by Nanfeng, and there is a lot of wine sold during this time, and there is still some left, don't waste it, it should take a year and a half.
Other new Taoists, after apprenticeship, will meditate cross-legged at night and practice the Cave God Sutra, but Nanfeng has never received guidance, and he doesn't know where to start when he wants to practice qi.
In the blink of an eye, it was January, the weather turned cold, everyone changed into thick sermon robes, and the gentleman who taught finished teaching a scripture, as usual, would conduct a paper examination, a total of three questions, according to the knowledge of the people, divided into A, B, C and third.
Although Nanfeng skips classes from time to time, the assessment of the two scriptures is A-class, and the taboo in the assessment is to tell the truth. Compassion, benevolence, nobility, greatness, selflessness, if you say it big, if you say it empty, if you say it falsely, if you say it is inhumane, if you don't eat the fireworks of the world, you can get the first class. If you tell the truth, you are not enlightened enough, and you can only take a C.
The next scriptures to study are the Nanhua Sutra and the Chongxu Sutra, and the number of times the south wind skips class is less, and the weather is cold, and it is too cold to run outside. Second, he has no money in and out, so he has to save it.
After waiting for another half a month, he still didn't see Tianqizi returning, Nanfeng couldn't sit still, and ran to ask Tianchengzi, but Tianchengzi didn't know where Tianqizi had gone, and he didn't know when he would come back.
Seeing that those Taoists who were meditating and practicing qi with him had already peeked into the doorway, the south wind was in a hurry, and one evening, Cao Meng called over and asked the cave god for interpretation......
