Chapter Ninety-One: Retreat
Ming Province Valley.
Lu Yan sat in the chamber that had been repaired a few times later in Ming Shenggu, and had gradually taken on some solemn appearances, looking at the stack of papers that had been groped by Wen Ning for office directors because of Shangguan Miao's thoughts a month ago, because Ming Shenggu's financial situation was still a little stretched, so the paper was not a very good document......
Lu Yan, who has always been good-tempered, gritted his teeth, and couldn't help but want to hammer the table in front of him that he actually didn't look very good at.
Three months ago, after the return of the two valley masters of Ming Province, Izugu Yitang, they entered a state of retreat. Because the two of them are the highest Jindan monks in the valley cultivation of Ming Province, they can already open the valley, so they ...... The two have been in retreat so far, and Lu Yan has not even had the opportunity to spare when they came out to look for something to eat and drink during the retreat
Naturally, knowing that if there is an understanding or an opportunity, it is best not to interrupt Lu Yan in retreat, but just think about it.
But......
First Xue Yuan, after coming back, the whole person felt a little trance, he had a lot of gains and wanted to retreat as soon as possible, if he could successfully get out of the customs, he would bring a good surprise to everyone in Ming Shenggu, and then ...... I went headlong to the retreat in the back mountain.
Xiao Luo was so late as Xue Yuan, he went to take a look at the marrow washing pool that had been built before, and then stayed there all night, and then ...... also left a sentence for Lu Yan, and hurriedly ran to the back mountain to retreat.
Xiao Luo has more than Xue Yuan's explanation before the retreat...... The action of patting Lu Yan's shoulder.
If it weren't for the fact that the marrow washing pool was noticed by everyone on the second day, the aura that had a slight marrow washing effect in it had stabilized a lot, Lu Yan thought, he wouldn't have let Xiao Luo, the valley master, go into retreat so easily because he was excited for a while.
He put down his pen and sighed while covering his forehead.
Lu Yan felt that he also needed to throw these back to Yao Lan and Wen Ning, and then go to close down and be quiet.
Sensing the sound of footsteps outside the council hall, Lu Yan struggled to put away his somewhat hideous expression, and went back as calmly as possible.
The council hall of the Ming Province Valley is one of the several important places in their valley, so it will naturally be a little different.
After it was initially opened as a meeting hall here, Xiao Luo, who was not the lord of Xiao Valley not long after he returned, set up a formation around, and later as there were more and more people in the valley and the facilities became more and more complete, Xiao Luo also had more time to complete the mountain protection array, and cooperate with the operation of the mountain protection array to set up similar but different formations in various important places in the valley, which could echo and cooperate with the entire mountain protection array.
Here in the council hall, it is to let the person who wears the jade talisman with the special Ming Province Gu identity be able to detect the movement of anyone approaching the council hall when he is in the council hall, and decide whether to let people in, block people from leaving, or ...... Simply urge the formation to kill it.
This special identity jade talisman is actually a jade talisman that was later re-refined by Xiao Luo in conjunction with the formation outside the council hall.
The identity jade talisman in the valley of Qiming Province is now divided into four types.
The first type, owned by Xue Yun and Xiao Luo, the two valley masters, on the crimson jade talisman, the water pattern is different from the others, looking at the huge waves rolling high in the wind that crashes on the shore.
The second type, pure white jade, carved with a water pattern is a little more "gentle" than the first one, but it is still the appearance of waves rolled up by the wind, which is all the jade talismans owned by the person who is mainly responsible for affairs in the valley and has received the position of elder, and only these jade talismans can freely enter and exit the council hall without the guidance or permission of others. At present, there are deacon elder Lu Yan who is in charge of the affairs of the great secretary in the valley, Li Yanning, the deacon elder who is in charge of the affairs of the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion, Yao Lan, who is mainly responsible for the disciples with Shangguan Miao, and Li Yanning, the law enforcement elder who can calmly wave the whip to anyone except Li Yanning, including the two valley masters, although he is not iron-faced.
The third kind, light blue jade, the water pattern is undulating but not yet splashed waves, it is the third generation of disciples in the valley, that is, with Yao Lan, who came all the way from Dingyuan City, Yuanzhou, to the valley and the sisters of the Li family who later defected.
The fourth, the blue-green jade, the undulating and fluctuating water lines that have not yet become a wave, is the most calm and gentle one, and it is the latest batch of income in the Ming Province Valley, and now it is still attracting qi into the body, and there are already some disciples who have stepped into the threshold of Qi refining
The jade talisman in the Ming Province Valley can actually be a jade plate, but because the purpose of the original refining was to pass through the mountain protection array of the Ming Province Valley as usual, it was called "Jade Fu" at that time, and then no one thought of changing it, so it was called. It is also because the original purpose was to enter and exit the valley, and there was no idea of distinguishing on this form, and now this set of rules was only formed after Lu Yan joined and led the general affairs of the valley.
There are no rules.
After all, they have already established a mountain and a faction, set up a stone monument to make a grand wish, and gathered disciples to cultivate power, many things need to have rules and regulations, and they can no longer be compromised.
Back in the council hall, now there are only people who can freely enter and exit the council hall wearing the first two jade talismans, a total of six, two valley masters, and four elders. Lu Yan noticed that someone was approaching the footsteps from outside the door, not that someone touched the formation or raised a voice outside, which meant that the person who came over was one of the other five.
This question was quickly answered.
Seeing Narao who pushed the door in, the smile on Lu Yan's face suddenly became more sincere, and he simply got up from the table that had been sitting all morning and greeted him.
"I remember that your sister's precept hall was built two days ago, and she should be fine today. ”
The person who came was none other than the ruling elder Li Yanning.
Li Yanning pushed the door in, and when she heard Lu Yan who was walking towards her, she couldn't help but smile slightly:
"Today's disciples rarely have to take a break from morning class, Sister Yao Lan is idle, and my sister is pulling her to learn, I'm afraid it's fun at this time. ”
Lu Yan's brows relaxed, and the smile on his face deepened: "Mr. Yao Lan, staying in one place with these undecided children can also feel what I have gained, I remember that her cultivation was upgraded to another level last month." Your sister should not be able to beat her except for the two valley masters in the valley...... Also, she had been busy working in person because she wanted to build the Discipline Hall before, and seeing Yao Lan mention cultivation again, I am afraid that she would already be itching. ”
Li Yanning nodded: "Sister and I, she plans to go to retreat after studying with Sister Yao Lan, and I heard that Sister Yao Lan is also going to prepare for retreat to impact Jindan, so ......"
Lu Yan was slightly stunned, his face became bitter when he saw it, and he was silent for a while before he said weakly: "...... So, you came to the council chamber to find me, just to help the two of them tell me such news, so that I can make arrangements as soon as possible?"
Li Yanning pursed her lips and smiled, but did not answer.
All of a sudden, the two elders had to go into retreat, and they had to find someone to take over the matter at hand.
Yao Lan is okay, Shangguan Miao, who has long been familiar with the responsibility of teaching his disciples, can go to the top first, but Li Yanran is there...... The precept hall has just been built, and it is still an empty shelf......
"Yao Lan is nothing, I expected her to be not far from the retreat last month in order to improve her cultivation, she is not in a hurry, and she is prepared, but your sister ......" Lu Yan couldn't help but raise a hand and rubbed his jumping eyebrows: "Yan Ning, your sister deliberately wants to fix me, right?"
Li Yanning heard this, and finally couldn't help but chuckle.
Lu Yan looked at Li Yanning's happy smile, although his heart was also a little warm.
Forget it, anyway, between him and her sister Li Yanran, she has always been towards her sister......
“...... I remember talking to your sister that the Discipline Hall is not just a conversation about a disciple who makes a mistake with a whip, and now the disciple is occasionally lazy and makes trouble or something, and she really doesn't need her red practice. The previous precept clauses of Ming Shenggu, as a law enforcement elder, this is a matter within her duty, and it must be compiled as soon as possible so that the school has a law to follow and a reason, this is the original intention of building the precept hall, and she can't forget it......"
The implication is: Li Yanran is done, is she going to pat her ass and go into retreat? Don't think about it, it's not my business to throw it to me, I won't do it......
Li Yanning also heard what he meant, and turned her hand and took out a booklet that was not too thin: "It's all here." ”
Lu Yan was slightly stunned, and was a little surprised when he slowly took it from Li Yanning's hand: "Your sister is ...... So ......"
Li Yanning still pursed her lips and smiled, looking gentle and beautiful.
Lu Yan flipped through two pages, couldn't help but nodded, feeling that Li Yanran was writing like that, and just thought about taking a look at her, but suddenly thought of it......
"Yan Ning, you ...... again"
"Sister actually understands it in her heart, and she also has ideas, but it's just that it's not good how to write down the words and write down the terms one by one and announce them. ”
Lu Yan sighed, feeling a little sour in his heart.
Of course he knows Li Yanning! Although Li Yanran has a fiery temper and looks like she can do things and never say much, she is actually very transparent in her heart, and she has her own plans and persistence in many things. But......
She is indeed a person who is better at martial arts than words, and better at using whips than writing.
Therefore, this booklet is obviously the cooperation of the law enforcement elders and the deacon elders.
Lu Yan sighed and put the booklet away: "Okay...... She's going to retreat in the back mountain tomorrow, right? Choose a place for herself, and stay away from the valley lords. As for the next arrangement and arrangement of the Precept Hall...... I'll go find Wen Ning in a moment. ”
Li Yanning laughed out loud with a "poof", her eyebrows and eyes were bent, and her gaze at Lu Yan was rarely a little funny and ridiculous: "Brother Lu, you are ...... It's also deliberate, right?"
Wen Ning was the youngest of the third generation of their Ming Province Valley, and he was also the most temperamental one of the third generation of the Ming Province Valley, humble and gentle, but also a little shy, before the fourth generation of Ming Province Valley disciples came, he was one of Yao Lan's favorite targets to tease. It stands to reason that this is the most unsuitable place for a place like the Discipline Hall......
But Lu Yan is on the contrary, and he has to press people to the precept hall.
Li Yanning knew with her hair that this was related to Shangguan Miao.
Li Yanning had heard that Wen Ning was with Shangguan Miao, specifically about the Wen family's relationship with the Shangguan family, and she also knew that Wen Ning would always help Shangguan Miao and take care of her, at least at first, for the Wen family's guilt about that incident. Lu Yan also knew about this. Lu Yan also knew that Shangguan Miao was somewhat uncomfortable with Wen Ning's affairs at first, but later he gradually let go of being able to communicate with a normal heart, at least for the time being.
But......
Lu Yan hooked the corners of his mouth: "Since the precepts have been written, and the precept hall has been built, most of the rest are written about trivial affairs, and Wen Ning is very familiar with them." Wasn't he the one who helped with chores when Ming Shenggu was first built? He was the most suitable person. ”
Just got busy, and didn't go to the disciples' cultivation place to disturb Shangguan Miao.
......
Yao Lan, the teaching elder of Ming Province Valley, and Li Yanran, the law enforcement elder, went to the back mountain to retreat in the same room, and in the second of the two of them, Xue Yun went out.
Hearing the news of Xue Yuan's exit, Li Yanning couldn't help but sigh in her heart.
She still remembered that her sister Li Yanran was still talking about Xue Yun before the retreat, but she didn't know what she had gained from the retreat, and now what the situation was, so that Li Yanran was a little uncomfortable even going to retreat by herself.
As a result, Li Yanran only entered the second retreat, and Xue Yuan was out of the retreat.
I missed it very delicately.
Xue Yuan, the valley master, is a major event in the Ming Provincial Valley, except for the fourth-generation disciples who are still taking the morning class steadily, the third generation in the valley is very excited and happy.
After Xue Yuan came out of the customs, his cultivation was greatly improved, and he jumped into the Great Perfection of the Jindan Period, and was expected to be promoted to Yuanying, so that the strength of Ming Shenggu ushered in a qualitative improvement.
However, this is not the "surprise" that Xue Yuan mentioned to Lu Yan before the retreat. ”
The real surprise was that after Xue Yuan came out of the customs, he handed it over to Lu Yan and Li Yanning, as well as Shangguan Miao and Wen Ning, who temporarily replaced Yao Lan and Li Yanran, in the conference hall, a practice exercise.
Xue Yuan retreated for three months, and the promotion of cultivation was incidental, and the real purpose was to try to put into practice the previous idea of spiritual retreat after going to the three Nine Wells Secret Land successively.
Nowadays, the monks practice and use spell envoys, relying on their own spiritual power storage. The higher the cultivation, the deeper the spiritual power, the more advanced and complex the spells and spells that can be used, and the stronger the corresponding strength in the battle. The power of the origin in Xue Yuan's body, in addition to being able to restrain and suppress the spiritual power of ordinary monks, can also manipulate the spiritual energy of the earth for his own use after he becomes more proficient in control.
However, her Origin Power is obviously not suitable for others.
After feeling the chaotic aura of the Nine Wells Secret Land, coupled with the inspiration of the application of the marrow washing pool, Xue Yuan retreated for three months, and what he explored was to use the monk's own ordinary spiritual power to try to communicate with the spiritual energy, even if he could not directly manipulate it, he could greatly enhance the power of the spell moves issued by his own spiritual power. At the same time, he boldly borrowed the spiritual power in his body that had not yet been fully transformed into the power of the source, and tried to imitate the path of the source power that spontaneously and actively operated in the secret land of Jiujing and various vague sensory points, trying to refine the spiritual power with a unique method of cultivation.
That is to say, after the founding of the mountain and the establishment of the Ming Provincial Valley, within a few months, Xue Yuan set his ambition to create a new cultivation method for the Ming Provincial Valley.
This thought was a bit arrogant, but she succeeded, with the help of Jiujing.
After Ming Shenggu had a collection of various spells, formulas, runes, classics, etc., he had a unique cultivation method.
From this moment on, Ming Shenggu can be regarded as a promising, independent sect in the true sense.
