Chapter 18: The Secret Realm of Qingcheng
Liu Tian, the old man, said to Li Xuan: "Ah Xuan, can you let me see the other magic weapons you have refined, although I can't refine the magic weapons, but our Qingcheng faction has a book of "Magic Weapon Identification", which writes about the various characteristics of various magic weapons below the first-class spirit weapon, I went back this time and studied this book to see if I can recognize your magic weapon." Pen Γ fun Γ Pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ info I'll tell you that the fastest update of the novel is the eye. Hurry? β
In order to satisfy the old man's curiosity, Li Xuan took out the remaining turtle and unicorn and handed them to the old man, the old man looked seriously, because of the different attributes, Li Xuan was not afraid of the old man taking the magic weapon as his own, the old man's true yuan power attribute is metallic, and this turtle and unicorn are water attribute and fire attribute respectively, but Li Xuan did not have other materials with water and fire attributes at that time, so he could only use the formation to achieve the effect of the attribute, otherwise with the current level of Li Xuan's weapon, these magic weapons should be able to grow another level.
The old man looked at it for a while, returned the turtle and the unicorn to Li Xuan and said, "These two are second-class magic weapons, don't you still have a phoenix?" Let me see. β
The old man also wanted to see Li Xuan's phoenix, Li Xuan had no choice, so he released the phoenix and let the phoenix fly to the old man's hand, and the old man looked at it carefully.
"Ahh This...... This...... This is a third-class spiritual weapon, a spiritual weapon! The old man looked at the phoenix, then at Li Xuan, then at the phoenix, and finally stared at Li Xuan with wide eyes.
"Say how you refined this phoenix, why are all second-class magic weapons given to us, and your own is a third-class spiritual weapon, you are too selfish, no matter how you say that I am also your future grandfather......" The old man held the phoenix tightly, and his eyes looked at Li Xuan excitedly.
"I ...... I don't know what's going on? I'm all the same! How could it be different? Li Xuan didn't know what was going on, he practiced these magic weapons according to the same procedure, but the old man's had to be metallic, so it was just a little different.
"Ahh ......," the old man shouted.
Li Xuan looked for a sound, only to see the phoenix automatically fly up from the old man's hand and stop on Li Xuan's shoulder, and the old man didn't look at his hand at all, but stared at the phoenix.
"It's really a spiritual weapon, it may not be a third-class spiritual weapon, and you actually know that you attack people......" The old man looked at the phoenix and muttered to himself.
And Li Xuan is very confused, what's going on, he didn't let the phoenix fly back! How could this phoenix attack the old man first, although it was very light, it was just to let the old man let go and let it get out of the old man's hand.
The old man looked at the phoenix for a long time and said: "Xuan, your phoenix should be close to the second-class spiritual weapon, the reason why the spiritual weapon is a spiritual weapon is that it has a certain spirituality, just now I held the objective existence, it automatically counterattacked, and then flew out of my hand, it is really spiritual!" However, its spirituality is not very strong, and it should be affected by the relationship between the material and your refining level, so it is still a third-class spiritual weapon. β
The old man said and looked at Li Xuan enviously and said: "You can refine it again after your refining level is improved in the future, maybe it will be upgraded, now it has a certain spirituality, it is really a good thing, why you refine it to refine spirituality, I don't know very well." β
Li Xuan also looked at the phoenix, and reached out to stroke it, this guy seemed to be enjoying it, and it really looked like a small pet. Li Xuan also likes it more and more when he looks at it!
The old man suddenly remembered something and said, "Ah Xuan, where is Xiao Yan?" β
When Li Xuan heard the old man's question, his face changed and he said, "I'll go and see, I don't know if she got up?" β
At this time, the bedroom door opened, Liu Xiaoyan also blushed, walked out of it, and said, "Grandpa, when did you come?" β
The old man glanced at her and said, "I came specifically to find Li Xuan this time, I have something important, and I want him to go with me." β
"Wherever you are going, I will go." Liu Xiaoyan couldn't help but be anxious when she heard that the old man was going to take Li Xuan away.
The old man looked at Liu Xiaoyan, and then at Li Xuan, they all didn't want to separate, and said helplessly: "It's okay for you to go, but you have to be obedient and can't run around." β
"Old man, where are you taking me? I don't think I agree yet! β
"We're going to the Qingcheng faction, it's a great benefit to you, it's about the Star Sutra, don't you want to know the origin of the Star Scripture?"
Li Xuan said with some excitement: "You know the origin of the Star Classic, tell me quickly?" β
The old man glared at Li Xuan. "If I had known that I would have told you a long time ago, what kind of talk would I have played with you, it was someone else, would you go?"
Li Xuan had no reason not to go, of course he agreed.
The old man took out the flying sword he had just practiced, and said, "Wait until you follow me, and we will fly away!" β
Li Xuan was anxious: "With the flying sword, doesn't it mean that cultivators are generally not exposed to ordinary people?" What should I do if someone shows up? β
The old man looked at Li Xuan with a smile and said, "You used to dare to run wild in the crowded city, why are you afraid of being seen now." Isn't flying with a flying sword fast yet? β
Li Xuan thought about it, of course, the sword flies faster than the run, and the people who run by themselves can't see it, how can anyone see it clearly with the flying sword, he is really stupid!
I saw three mysterious black lights flashing in the room, and the three of them disappeared, Li Xuan felt that it took less than a minute to arrive, he hadn't flown yet, how could he have arrived, Liu Xiaoyan also wanted to fly again, but she felt a little tired, it turned out that the sword flew fast or fast, but it was too much to consume the true yuan power, Li Xuan was better, he was full of spiritual power, and he wouldn't feel tired if he flew for another day, and he didn't want to look at the old man again, but he was all in Qingcheng Mountain, and it was not good to fly down.
At this moment, a figure appeared in front of them out of thin air, the appearance of this person frightened Li Xuan, since the practice of the "Star Classic", no one has ever appeared out of thin air without his own perception, usually he appears in front of others like this, and the appearance of this person in front of him, he did not appear at all, this person's skill is much higher than his own, he is a stake.
"Uncle Shi, this is Li Xuan, the guest elder of this generation, this is my granddaughter Liu Xiaoyan, Li Xuan's fiancΓ©e." The old man said respectfully to the visitor.
The person who came looked at Li Xuan carefully, looked at him intently, nodded incessantly, and shook his head again. And when the old man introduced Liu Xiaoyan to him again, he didn't look away, in his eyes, Li Xuan seemed to be more attractive than a beauty.
Li Xuan also looked at the person who came, this so-called old man's uncle and ancestor didn't look like the old man's uncle and ancestor, why? This person is too young, seeing that he is at most about the same age as himself, dressed in a Taoist costume, with a very long head, draped behind him freehand, his face is white and pure, with a sword eyebrow, and a trace of fine light flashes in his small eyes.
A person who can appear out of thin air without his own perception, of course Li Xuan will not think that he is an ordinary person, is he a master who has reached the out-of-body stage, only such a person can appear out of thin air without being aware of the person in his middle infancy, and he can't see the depth of his cultivation at all, and he still thinks that he is an ordinary ordinary person.
"You are the Li Xuan who practiced the Star Sutra?" The calm here was shattered by the plain words of the visitor.
Li Xuan thought that this should be the person who knew the origin of the "Star Sutra", otherwise how could he ask about the "Star Sutra" as soon as they met.
"Yes, seniors, juniors are the ones who practice the Star Sutra."
"Don't call me senior, you are also Elder Keqing of Qingcheng, I am also Elder Keqing of Qingcheng, you can call me by my name, my name is Lin Qingqing, otherwise you can call me Daoyou." Lin Qingqing said very casually.
"Your name is Lin Qingqing, I don't know if you know Lin Qingxia." Liu Xiaoyan couldn't help but feel funny when she heard Lin Qingqing's feminine name.
"Xiao Yan, don't talk nonsense, come over and meet Senior Lin." Hearing that Liu Xiaoyan actually dared to make a joke about Lin Qingqing, Liu Tian, the old man, was a little anxious.
"I don't know Lin Qingxia, but I've seen her movies, it's very good, are you laughing at my name and her?" Lin Qingqing smiled and said.
This time, his words made the three people present stunned, Li Xuan and Liu Xiaoyan thought that this cultivator was still watching TV, and Liu Tian didn't know how Lin Qingqing knew about Lin Qingxia.
Lin Qingqing looked at the three of them with a smile: "Although I have been in retreat for some time, my Yuan Shen has traveled all over the world. I just felt that someone was flying with Edgeworth, and I wanted to see who it was, but I didn't expect it to be you, let's go in quickly, I didn't say hello to them when I came out just now, don't let them wait. β
Li Xuan saw that there was a formation guarding in front of him, but he couldn't see what the specific formation was for a while, he could only see that it was a composite formation, this formation was natural, mainly defensive and stealth, and it also implied a powerful attack formation, and it could be seen that the person who laid out this formation was a master.
To enter this formation, you have to have a special trick to guard, ordinary people can't get in, and if you forcibly break in, you will be attacked by the formation.
And Li Xuan, they followed behind Lin Qingqing and didn't look at Lin Qingqing's movements, but actually led them in, which surprised Li Xuan.
Knowing that Li Xuan was surprised, Lin Qingqing didn't look back and said: "This prohibition was arranged by the Qingcheng Sect Founding Patriarch who invited the head of the Tianji Gate to spend thirty-six years of painstaking efforts, not only there are formations, but there are also many magic weapons in this prohibition, which have the function of identifying enemies and enemies, as long as you go in, leave your information in the Phantom Heart Stone, and this formation will know you when you come back next time, unless someone cleans the information you left in the Phantom Heart Stone." β
There is such a magical prohibition, a combination of formations and magic weapons, Li Xuan has heard of it for the first time, this is simply the same as computer management.
After the four of them entered the formation guard, the scenery in front of them changed, is this still Qingcheng Mountain? Li Xuan and Liu Xiaoyan think the same way, Qingcheng Mountain is famous for its seclusion, and this place is simply a fairyland on earth.
I saw the fairy mist everywhere, the aura is pressing, the aura here is much stronger than that in the spirit gathering array, it is not a relationship of much, but a qualitative difference, the fairy mist is very thin, and you can vaguely see a palace-like house, these palaces are very majestic, and there is no taste of those Taoist temples outside.
Li Xuan wondered why the old man didn't practice here because of the abundance of spiritual energy, but let him do something for him to gather the spirit array. couldn't help but ask curiously: "Lin ......, Lin Daoyou, is this your Qingcheng station?" β
Lin Qingqing stopped and fell into his memory: "This used to be the station of the Qingcheng faction, but now it is not here, and now the Qingcheng station has another ......, we will talk about it later, let's go first." β
The four of them came to a palace and walked in, only to see that there were not many people inside, only seven people. They all sat on the ground. A blue Taoist outfit. Seeing Lin Qingqing, they all stood up and saluted.
"Uncle Shi."
No matter how they are called, they should not be of the same generation. This made Li Xuan very puzzled.
Lin Qingqing asked everyone to sit down, and he himself found a place to sit down. Lin Qingqing looked at everyone and said.
"I think a lot of you don't know my identity yet, call me my uncle and ancestor, you won't suffer, I'm 5oo years old, I'm the seventeenth generation elder of the Qingcheng faction, how many generations are you now?"
Wuchen said embarrassedly: "Uncle Shi, the disciple is a seventy-second generation disciple, of course the disciples will not suffer if they call you Uncle Shizu, but the disciples don't know what to call you old man......"
"What old man, am I old?" Lin Qingqing joked very casually. "But it's really old, but you should call me an elder in the future, so that others won't be frightened when they hear it. Ha! Ha! Ha! I went out to meet you this time, and I asked you to call all the elders, because there are some things I want to discuss with you. β
Lin Qingqing fell into memories again, and said: "Three hundred years ago, this was the residence of our Qingcheng faction, this is one of the seventy-two blessed places, there are many benefits of practicing here, there were many disciples here back then, it was simply a city, although our Qingcheng faction was also a branch of the Shushan Sword Sect, but it was much worse than the Emei faction, at that time there were many disciples of the Qingcheng faction, many of them were disciples who had reached the Yudan period, and there were very few masters in the Yuan infant period, only nine, and there were only unintentional real people above the out-of-the-body period. And these big factions in Emei, there are more than 70 of them in the Yuan infant stage alone, and there are several in the out-of-body period, and I heard that there are several more who have reached the merger period, which is really the peak of talents. β
Lin Qingqing looked at everyone, shook his head and continued: "I was thinking, why is this happening, they have blessed land in Emei Mountain, and we also have Qingcheng, why can't they compare to them?" There is another possibility, which is the problem of cultivating the true heart and Fa. So I wanted to combine the mental method that I inadvertently obtained in an ancient cave, that is, the mental method of the "Star Sutra" and the spiritual method of cultivating the heart of Qingcheng, to learn from each other's strengths and weaknesses, and see if I could create a better mental method, and it really allowed me to create a mental method. β
Lin Qingqing said with some guilt and sadness at this time: "It's okay at the beginning, some Qingcheng disciples who have practiced these mental methods have improved their skills by leaps and bounds, but in the later stage of the Yudan, many of these disciples are restless and can't calm down, some have fallen into demons, and some have exploded and died in the process of entering the Yuan Infant Period, and their divine form has been destroyed." Alas! I hurt them. At that time, the head of the family didn't mean to blame me, saying that I was also for the good of Qingcheng, but I really hurt them. I've been in retreat on my own ever since, and I didn't expect it to be more than 300 years. β
"I was originally a casual cultivator, and my skills improved very quickly after getting the "Star Sutra", but every time at a critical time, there will be heaven and earth vitality entering the body, and the heaven and earth vitality is more and more fierce every time, so that I don't dare to practice anymore, but my skills will still grow, once the internal breath in my body is chaotic, just when I was about to destroy the god form, I was unintentionally saved by a real person, and then I joined Qingcheng. Although the Qingcheng School's mental method is slow, it is very solid to practice, which makes my skills more stable, and I think that combining the two mental methods will definitely create a better mental method. I wanted to contribute a little to Qingcheng, but I didn't expect it to be like this. β
Lin Qingqing looked at Wuchen and said, "By the way, Wuchen, how can our Qingcheng faction be such a person now?" Only one of you is Li Xuan in the Yuan Infant Stage, and among you, only you and Liu Tian have reached the Dan Formation Period, and these elders are still almost in the Dan Formation Period. There are still some masters who have gone. β
Wuchen smiled helplessly and said: "Uncle Shi, I don't know, it's just mentioned in the sect's canon that three hundred years ago, the masters of each faction disappeared, I think the Emei faction is now stronger than us, but it is also similar to our situation, there are not a few masters." β
"Could it be that something big happened to me after my retreat, but unfortunately I didn't know about it back then. Alas! Lin Qingqing sighed and said: "I went out this time, I saw that you mobilized so many people, I thought that something big happened in the Qingcheng faction, and I wanted to come out to help, but I didn't expect you to want to cooperate with the government." β
Wuchen said with some concern: "Uncle Shi, I can't help it, the Qingcheng faction is declining more and more, I just want to cooperate with the government, so as to strengthen our sect, in fact, the current government is not like the previous government, although the current government also has some corrupt officials, but there are still good officials in the government, and the general direction formulated by the government is good, it is to serve the people, and it is to strengthen our Chinese people." β
Lin Qingqing smiled and said: "I didn't say that you are wrong, you are now the head, and you are in charge." Besides, although I have been in retreat for all these years, I also know the difference between the government and the government, and besides, you are also for the better development of Qingcheng, and there is nothing wrong with your cooperation. And this is the former Qingcheng station, you can come here to practice, but the things here are not allowed to be revealed to the outside world, you have to keep the secret of this Qingcheng. β
"It's just that you now, alas, don't even have flying swords, I still have some magic weapons for you here, which can be regarded as a meeting gift for you as my uncle and ancestor." More than ten magic weapons immediately appeared in Lin Qingqing's hands, making Li Xuan look red, Lin Qingqing divided all the magic weapons, except for Li Xuan, everyone else had a share.
Lin Qingqing turned a blind eye to Li Xuan's red eyes and said to Li Xuan: "There is a book here, you can take it and take a look." β
Li Xuan was so happy that he took the Tao Te Ching with both hands, what did you give me the Tao Te Ching? β
Lin Qingqing looked at Li Xuan interestingly and said: "Yes, this is the Tao Te Ching, don't underestimate this good book, you also got the "Star Sutra" by chance, and you have practiced to the Yuan Infant Stage, so you must take a good look at this book." β
"I've seen it before, but why can't I realize anything?" Li Xuan asked puzzledly, "You have to use your heart to understand, this, is not to cultivate the true heart of the law, as long as you understand the way of heaven, then you will practice in the future will get twice the result with half the effort, and you will no longer be afraid of the vitality of heaven and earth, I have recently realized some truths, if I had realized these truths earlier, I would not have turned to the Qingcheng heart method, although the Qingcheng heart method is good, but it is too slow, since you have practiced the "Star Sutra" heart method, if you can understand the truth of the Tao Te Ching again, there will be no more danger in the future. β
Li Xuan thought that Lin Qingqing had realized something after three hundred years, although he might be smarter than him, but it would take one or two hundred years, it was really a headache.
"Lin Daoyou, is there any other way besides this enlightenment?"
Lin Qingqing said solemnly: "A cultivator only cultivates, and it is not possible to not realize the Tao, the higher the cultivation, the more dangerous it is, not to mention that you have practiced such a dangerous Star Sutra mental method." But...... When I got this heart method back then, now, this "Star Sutra" is not complete, and after reaching the Yuan Infant Period, there will be no future practice of the heart method, if you can find the back of the heart method, maybe you can solve the problem of the danger of your current practice. β
Li Xuan hurriedly said: "Lin Daoyou, can you take me to the place where you found the book?" β
"But it's okay, but there are also a lot of prohibitions there, full of dangers, after I found this book back then, there were a lot of cultivators who wanted to go in and find out what good things were, but they didn't come out again, you decided to go or not?"
"I'll Go"
