Chapter 38: Stepping into the Foundation
Taishangzong is in the extreme north of Zhongzhou, because of the large number of people in his entourage, Cangfeng Yuanjun did not use thousands of miles to turn into a rainbow, but used a dragon cloud flying boat to take everyone all the way. At first, Changning and Jade Toad were still sitting in the bow of the cabin with great interest and looking at the scenery of Middle-earth below, but out of the land of Middle-earth to the north, it was all the way to the snow-capped mountains, thousands of ice cliffs, and thousands of miles were boundless.
The jade toad couldn't stand it after watching it for a while, turned into a prototype, jumped into the lotus pond on the dragon boat and went to sleep. Qi Yao was not in the flying boat, he had to return to Middle-earth first, and then return to the sect with the disciples of the same Taishang Sect after picking up his mother.
"Ah Weng, our sect won't be full of snow, right?" Changning asked Shen Xuan.
Shen Yan was playing chess with the turtle elder, and said without raising his head when he heard the words, "You'll know when you arrive." ”
Changning saw that his grandfather only cared about playing chess, so he could only go to talk to Senior Sister Bai. She now understands that Senior Sister Bai Xue is called Bai Xue, Senior Sister Xianhe is called Mo Tong, Bai Xue is the first to get started, but her temperament is playful, Mo Tong has cultivated to the Jindan stage, she is still wandering in the foundation building period, and even the human form can only be half transformed, and she doesn't care. Fortunately, she has the blood of the Divine Ape in her body, and her lifespan can exceed a thousand, even if she doesn't cultivate, she can live freely.
Bai Xue was playing in the orchard on the boat, and when she saw Changning coming to find her, she smiled and took out her treasured spirit fruit for Changning to eat, Changning took the spirit fruit and asked her, "Senior sister, usually do little disciples have to climb over the snow mountain when they go out?" ”
Bai Xue held a spirit peach and ate it with relish, "They can take another sea route, but this road is closer, so we will take this road." Don't look at the snow below, in fact, there are a lot of interesting spiritual objects in the snow mountain, and it is said that there are several high-grade spiritual stone mines, but no one is allowed to mine them in the sect. ”
Changning is from modern times, and naturally knows that there is a lot of life and abundant resources under every seemingly barren continent, "This snow field belongs to our sect?" ”
"That's right! It's all from our sect! Bai Xue pointed to a big mountain not far away and said, "Senior sister, you see, there will be green space after this snow-capped mountain, and this place will be the subject country of our Taishang Sect from the beginning." ”
Changning knows that the subject country of the Taishang Sect is centered on the sect station, divided into four countries, southeast, northwest and northwest, the Taishang sect has been established for tens of thousands of years, and there are more than one million disciples in the sect, and many disciples will return to their homeland to take their families to the vicinity of the sect station, with sufficient spiritual energy, and the protection of the sect, it is much more comfortable and comfortable than living in the homeland, and over time, it will become a country of its own. In order to facilitate management, Taishangzong is divided into four countries in the southeast, northwest and northwest according to the region, and sends a Jindan disciple to take turns to be stationed every hundred years, and the government affairs are jointly governed by several major families.
Changning inquired very carefully because the Shen family wanted to send a branch here, Bai Xue heard that the Shen family wanted someone to come, she smiled and said: "Then let everyone live in the East Kingdom, our Xuanyuan Ancestor's subordinates are all in the East Kingdom." ”
Changning nodded, she couldn't take care of this matter, so let Ah Weng bother, who let him just play chess and ignore himself.
"Senior sister, what kind of house do you like to live in? Is it a brick house, a bamboo house, or a wooden house? When you get to Liuxia Peak, I will build a courtyard for you. Bai Xue asked with interest.
Changning was stunned, "Didn't I want to live in Grinding Sword Peak at the beginning?" She remembered that the junior disciples of the Taishang Sect who had just started lived in the Grinding Sword Peak, and they could only change to other places to live after ten years of sect trials.
"You will live in Mojian Peak for ten years, and you will live in Liuxia Peak in the future, and besides, don't you usually go home to see your master and me?" Bai Xue said as a matter of course, "Senior Sister repeatedly told me to take care of you before the retreat!" Bai Xue said that the senior sister is Qin Yiqing, and she is the senior sister of the entire Liuxia Peak.
"I want a house with lots of flowers and trees, elegant and simple, not too magnificent, the house can be built of bricks and wood, but the floor should be laid on the ground, and the furniture should be all wood." Changning knew that the glory of the world was not worth mentioning to the cultivation world, so she made her request straightforwardly, she hesitated, "Senior sister, is there a hot spring on the peak?" Can I ask for a hot spring bath? ”
"Absolutely." Bai Xue agreed, this little thing is not worth mentioning, "When you get to the sect, I will let the Taoist soldiers build a courtyard for you." ”
While the two were talking, the flying boat crossed the snow-capped mountains, the ground faintly oozing green, the further they went, the greenery became stronger, the slopes were undulating, the forests were beautiful, and occasionally there were cities and villages, and the layout was like, as Bai Xue said, life here was more stable than Middle-earth.
At this time, the speed of the flying boat suddenly accelerated, and in an instant, the flying boat entered a misty white mist, countless strange peaks fluttered in the white mist, pine and cypress, bamboo trees, such as Penglai Yingzhou in the air. Bai Xue saw Changning's surprised face, she smiled and said, "We have entered the sect, you don't think that our sect is in the middle of the continent, right?" ”
Changning was stunned, "Could it be that the sect is in the cave?" ”
"That's right, our Taishang Sect itself is in the Taishang Cave Heaven!" Bai Xue clapped her hands and laughed.
The fog dissipated, only to see the golden crow hanging in the air, the cloud peak supporting the air, the blue water dissolving, the flowers are full of trees, the grass is continuous, there are more spirit birds in the air, the fairy beasts swim away, the colorful feathers and flowers are light, and they are intertwined, what a blessed fairyland! Changning only had a rich aura rushing to her face, and she couldn't help but take a deep breath, feeling that every inch of her skin was consciously absorbing spiritual power.
"Senior sister, look, that's our Liuxia Peak!" Bai Xue pointed to a towering mountain peak and said, "Now is not the time, the best thing about our Liuxia Peak is when there are clouds at sunrise and sunset, this is one of the ten views of Qingxu Taishang!" Bai Xue's face was full of pride when she said it, this was the confidence of the disciples of the famous sect.
Changning knows that Taishang Sect has a total of five veins, and Zeng Shizu has the least disciples in this lineage, most of them are auditors, and they are not even registered disciples, but the true disciples are the most among the five veins, and the current Taishang Sect is Changning's master Canghong Daojun. Three of the five veins have the Yang God True Man, although the ancestor of the Xuanyuan of the Qingxu Palace has been reincarnated, but he has been welcomed back by the younger disciples, so the disciples of the sect do not dare to covet the Qingxu Palace.
Listening to Bai Xue relish talking about the Qingxu Dao Palace, Changning also felt a sense of pride in his heart, which was the same feeling as hearing that the motherland and the school were strong in front of outsiders in modern times.
"The name of our ancestor Xuanyuan Daozun's Dao Palace is Qingxu, and you will be a disciple of the Qingxu Palace in the future. If someone dares to snub you, you can sue me, and I will lead the Taoist soldiers to help you get angry! Bai Xue said in the style of a senior sister to take care of her junior sister.
Changning was embarrassed when she heard it, no wonder Ah Weng repeatedly told her to guard against arrogance and rashness, and not to bully others, Changning was originally strange, could it be that in Ah Weng's eyes, she was such a high-flying person? Now she finally understood the meaning of Ah Weng's words, he was afraid that he would be dazzled when he arrived in Taishang Sect. Changning knows very well in her heart that her status comes from her elders, and she is all flowers and moons in the mirror, can she still rely on her elders for the rest of her life? Only when you cultivate yourself is really good. Now that the elders are sheltering herself, she must have the strength to feed the elders in the future.
Xuanyuan Old Ancestor, Xiyin Daojun and Canghong Daojun were all in retreat, and Shen Shu and Cangfeng returned to the sect after returning to the sect to cultivate. Shen Jun didn't let his granddaughter follow him anymore, she had grown up, and the road to cultivation was already lonely and long, and Changning had to get used to it. Besides, he has to leave Zhongzhou in a few months, and he doesn't know how many years before he can come back, and Shen Jian can't let his granddaughter stick to him.
Changning knew that Ah Weng was for his own good, and after saying goodbye to his grandfather, he returned to Liuxia Peak with his master, because after her courtyard was not yet built, she lived in the Dao Palace of Cangfeng Yuanjun. The peak of Liuxia Peak is like spring all year round, the pines and cypresses are evergreen, Cangfeng Yuanjun and Changning are included, there are only seven disciples, Changning and Qin are liquidated into the room, and the remaining five are only accepted as registered disciples because they are all from demon backgrounds, Bai Xue and Moyan Changning have seen it, and the remaining three are not currently in the door, in addition, there are some grass and tree elves raised by the sect on the peak to summon with the urn.
Changning rushed all the way, and finally arrived at a stable place, with Bai Xue, ink eyes together took a hot spring bath back to the room and fell asleep, the next day when I woke up it was already dawn, a few little flower demons had been waiting outside the house for a long time, waiting for her to wash and eat, and told Changning to go to the bamboo forest to Yuanjun to say goodbye.
Cangfeng Yuanjun is reading a book next to the bamboo forest fish pond, the green bamboo and clear spring in the forest, the swimming fish can be counted, seeing Changning coming, Yuanjun smiled and asked: "Is it comfortable to sleep?" ”
Changning nodded suddenly, she didn't expect that she would sleep for so long.
Cangfeng Yuanjun said: "I heard Uncle Shi say that you have your own bloodline to inherit the exercises? Shen Tuo didn't elaborate on Changning's life experience, but said that she had her own inheritance exercises, which was rare in Zhongzhou, but there were still in other continents, and Cangfeng didn't ask much.
Changning said: "I don't know if it's the bloodline inheritance exercise, I haven't dreamed for a few days." Speaking of which, Changning was a little worried, her exercises wouldn't suddenly disappear, right?
"Dreaming?"
Changning hesitated, and told her about the scene of the heavenly demon fight in her dream, she didn't think there was anything to hide, Cang Feng was a master, a person who guided her cultivation, if she didn't say anything, what if her cultivation was wrong?
"Cultivating the Fa Phase?" Cangfeng Yuanjun frowned slightly, most of the people who cultivate the law phase now are demon cultivators, and the cultivation of the law phase needs the assistance of the blood of the heavenly goblins, without the blood of the heavenly goblins, even if the human race cultivates the law phase, it is just a clay sculpture. But the Heavenly Demon has been hidden since ancient times, where to find the blood of the Heavenly Demon? Some demon cultivators can barely cultivate because they have the blood of heavenly demons. Listening to the tone of the apprentice, she still cultivated the law of the Heavenly Demon Imperial Clan's Phoenix Clan, which was rarely cultivated by the Human Race in ancient times.
Cangfeng Yuanjun said: "You have reached the Great Perfection of your practice, and you are about to enter the foundation building, and after the foundation is built, you will know what the inheritance of the exercises is." ”
Although Changning has traveled around during this time, her cultivation has not been pulled down, her talent is good, she has practiced and worked hard, and she has passed the Great Perfection Period in less than a month, if she hadn't been outside, her grandfather always asked her to pay attention to maintaining stability, she would have broken through. Now that she has arrived at the sect, she can rest assured that she can break through.
"There are advantages and disadvantages to passing on the Dharma of the mind." Cangfeng Yuanjun said, "But anyone who can leave behind the inheritance of the practice is a flying immortal, and the practice they leave behind is the supreme true transmission that points directly to the Great Dao, but having a true inheritance does not mean that they will be able to live forever." Our Taishang Sect has five methods and nine tips, and the five methods are cultivation methods, and each method has someone to lift the sun and soar, but not everyone can live forever. The avenue is full of calamities, and if there is no one to guide you, even if there is a true legend, you will go the wrong way. Do you know why the ancestor was reincarnated? He just took a wrong step when he was young, made a wrong step, and had to rebuild it as a last resort. Cangfeng Yuanjun told Changning about the difficulties of Faxiang cultivation, and Shen Yan didn't say anything about these things, because he was afraid that it would affect Changning's state of mind outside, and Changning's parents even prepared magic weapons for their daughters, and they would solve it for her if they thought about it.
The master's words made Changning startled, "Master, then what should I do?" ”
Cangfeng Yuanjun said: "Don't worry, I don't know why you inherited the exercises?" Let's talk about it after entering the foundation. Our sect also has a mental method that directly points to the Great Dao, and there are five Ascended True Persons in the first vein of the Qingxu Dao Palace, so you don't have to worry. ”
The master's words undoubtedly made Changning breathe a sigh of relief, but it was a big deal that she would not practice the inheritance of the heart method. Changning had something on his mind, so he couldn't help but want to break through the foundation building period immediately, so as to determine what he inherited the mental method.
Cangfeng Yuanjun knew the mind of the apprentice well, she didn't say anything, she guided as usual, but privately instructed Bai Xue and Mo Tong to pay more attention to Changning's state of mind. Changning got up every day to practice the basic swordsmanship ten times, after absorbing the purple qi from the east, he recited and copied the scriptures with the grass and wood elves of the Dao Palace, and learned vocal music with the ink pupil in the afternoon, but at night she was unable to enter meditation, this was the first time she was unable to enter meditation after practicing the Sleeping Pill Gong.
Although Changning repeatedly told herself that this was a small obstacle on the path of cultivation, and it was okay if she could not cultivate the inheritance of the mental method, she was never able to let her heart really settle down. She copied the Taoist scriptures for three days to no avail, or Bai Xue pulled her to plant trees on the mountain peak for more than half a month, and her heart settled down when she felt the grass and trees first appear, and the flowers bloomed and fell. She didn't know at the time that this was the first time she had a demon on her cultivation path. The avenue is treacherous and full of disasters, but she is fortunate to have elders and fellow disciples who quietly guide her to resolve the first demon.
On this night after figuring it out, Changning didn't need to light sandalwood and fell into silence, not knowing that the yin and yang rings that had been quietly staying in her sea of knowledge suddenly flew out of her sea of knowledge, and the double rings knocked lightly, and the black and white halo was like a wheel, slowly turning, and she knew that the Taiji diagram in the sea was golden and bright, and the light was dazzling. It was not a full moon, the moon outside the house was dim, and the stars were twinkling, but after the golden mangs of the Taiji Diagram were in full bloom, the stars and moon in the sky suddenly brightened, but then they dimmed again.
A silver-white band of light in Changning's room enveloped her, and the five-colored essence in the band of light poured down, seeping into all parts of her body. The true yuan in the body moves on her own with her breathing, starting from the lower dantian, along the spine and the three passes of the tail lu, the spine and the jade pillow, to the top of the head of the mud pill, and then from the cheeks to the tip of the tongue and the Ren vein, and finally condensed into a pill of sycamore in the middle of the sandalwood, the true qi travels through the meridians of the whole body, smooth and natural, the two veins of Zhou Tian are opened, and they have entered the foundation of the foundation! With the condensation of Changning Yuandan, the red jade pendant in her red silk turned into a red pill and floated into the sandalwood, connected to the round dan.
Such a vision of heaven and earth naturally alarmed Cangfeng Yuanjun, her slightly closed eyes opened, people had come to the outside of Changning House, seeing the heavy moonlight in her house, her eyes flashed with surprise, she rarely saw people can gather so much moonlight essence when cultivating, but she felt that after the disciple had stepped into the foundation, the corners of her lips were filled with a smile of relief, she knew that this child would come out.
