Zhang Daniu was stunned for a moment when he heard Lin Zitong's words, and then remembered that in the big competition that year, Gu Yan won the championship with the number of array flags, and the Tibetan Sword Villa at that time promised that the top five people who won the most formation flags in the big competition could go to the secret realm of the Tibetan Sword Villa to try out in the sword washing pool and look for opportunities.

The secret realms in the nine major sects are all inherited from ancient times, inheriting the creation of heaven and earth, even the disciples in this sect are not allowed to enter lightly, and it is open to outsiders, this is the first time in the history of the Tibetan Sword Villa for tens of thousands of years. Therefore, at the time, it caused some surprise.

It's just that after the big competition ended, Xuanguang Zhenren of Hidden Sword Villa announced that he would postpone the trial because of important matters, and each person also gave a magic weapon as compensation. Everyone thought that the Hidden Sword Villa didn't want to open its secret realm to outsiders, so they used it as an excuse, and each of the five people got a high-grade magic weapon, and they could be paid. Unexpectedly, more than ten years later, when everyone had forgotten about this matter, the old thing was suddenly brought up again.

Zhang Daniu remembered the past and said with some emotion: "Although it has only been more than ten years, the world has changed, which is really dazzling." ”

Lin Zitong also felt the same way, "What happened in Yunyang City back then, now that I think about it, it's like in a dream." When she said this, it had been a full seventeen years since Dabi was in Yunyang City.

In the past ten years, the Shili of the entire Yunze has been turned upside down, and the Yuan and Qin families have closed their doors since they were injured in Yinyunze, and since then they have lived in a simple place, and Yuan Zitan and Qin Chong are said to have closed the dead pass at the same time, preparing for the impact of Yuan Ying. The two of them had already reached the realm of consummation. But it's just because they care about each other and the interests of the family that they don't get married.

After the First World War, the shili of the two families were weakened at the same time, and they invariably implemented the policy of Taoguang and obscure, which made these two people worry, anyway, the Bixia Sect has already risen. Forming a three-legged situation, the royal family is between the three factions, flexibly controlling the situation. Gradually, there are signs of a repeat of the situation of thousands of years ago. Therefore, now the two of them, no matter who has a baby, is tantamount to breaking the game. Even if you fail, it's just a matter of continuing to shrink your head.

So as if they had discussed, the two began to retreat in the same year to prepare for the baby. It's just that getting married is really a big deal, and it's an idle matter to drag on for hundreds of years, although the two families have been preparing for a long time, but when it comes to the end, there are still a lot of clues, and this death is closed, and it has been until now. There is still not a shred of news coming out.

And Bixia Sect has been in these seventeen years. But it has developed by leaps and bounds. After that big competition, Gan Biwu and others successfully received the allocated resources, and recruited disciples with the disciples of the original two sects as the core. Rapid outward development, expansion of shili, did not stop until a few years ago, at that time, the shili of the Bixia Sect had already spread all over Yunze. Each county has the rudder of the mountain gate of the Bixia Sect.

The entire Dongyang County, almost all of them have become the back garden of the Bixia Sect, with the best support of the royal family, the Bixia Sect is based in Dongyang, and continues to expand outward, coupled with the addition of new shili such as Ji Quan, Wei Lengqiu, Duan Wuxiu, etc., the Bixia Sect now has ten elders in the light of the Dan, and there are dozens of disciples in the later stage of the foundation, and there are more than three hundred inner disciples of the entire sect, not counting the various small and medium-sized sects that are attached to shili. It can be called the third largest shili in Yunze that stands side by side with the Yuan and Qin families.

Lin Zitong had successfully married a few months ago, and began to officially serve as the head disciple of the Bixia Sect, taking care of various matters of the Bixia Sect, and everyone recognized that in a few decades, she would be the successor of the next head of the Bixia Sect. It's just that according to Gu Yan's meaning, now she still has to concentrate on the way of cultivation, as for the mundane affairs of the head, when there is a breakthrough in the realm in a few years, it is not too late to take over.

Although Zhang Daniu lives in seclusion in the spiritual garden, he is the person who has received the most guidance from Gu Yan, and the method he has learned is the way of nature, and it is cheapest to practice in the spiritual garden. Wei Qing was also promoted to the late stage of foundation building a few years ago, but it was difficult to break through the realm, so he simply traveled down the mountain to find an opportunity and seek an opportunity to break through.

At that time, Wei Zhaoyi, who was the shallowest among the four people, since the foundation was built, it was as if she had suddenly changed as a person, concentrating on cultivation, and she was closed in her cave all day long.

Zhu Ying and Lin Zitong were cultivating in the secret realm of Xuandu back then, Gu Yan strictly ordered them to keep this secret, and never allowed it to be passed on, this biggest secret is still only known to the four of them, even Gan Biwu and Lan Xiang don't know, but Zhu Ying's temperament is more jumpy, not as steady as Lin Zitong, they retreat at the same time, Lin Zitong succeeded in getting married, and took the lead in getting out, while Zhu Ying is still trapped in the demons, Jin Dan condenses but does not gather, and it takes some effort.

Lin Zitong thought of this, but he was a little regretful, "The senior sisters of all families are disturbed by the love thread, and I am afraid that there will be twists and turns in the road of cultivation in the future." ”

Zhang Daniu listened and smiled without saying a word. He has been in the spiritual garden for many years, feeling all things in heaven and earth, natural breeding, and experiencing the mystery in the conception of living beings, and he has long looked down on love and love. It's just that these things are the magic obstacles in the heart, some people can see through it, and some people will jump into it willingly. Zhuying is like this, she and Yu Shang, can be called a happy enemy, and the ancient battlefield in the relationship, Gu Yan because of the retreat in the spiritual garden, originally assigned to Yu Shang for fifty years of service was also exempted, they go in and out together every day, and they will fall in love with each other for a long time.

Under the Bixia Sect, he couldn't help getting married, Bi Zhenzhen didn't detain his disciples, and the Flying Bird Gate was considered to be a combination of the two sects, Yu Shang's identity was the same as that of the inner disciple of the sect, and the two got married, and there was no grievance for Zhuying. It's just that Zhu Ying's face is thin-skinned, and he feels that he has not achieved anything in the way of cultivation now, and he must wait for both of them to marry before he is willing to become a Taoist couple and work together to become a mandarin duck and fly. Therefore, Yu Shang was originally a detached character, and he was also forced to practice every day, and he didn't even have time to go down the mountain.

This time, the two of them retreated one after another, I don't know if they were both trapped in the emotional obstacle in their hearts, and at the same time trapped in the process of Jindan Jiangning. Now Bi Zhenzhen and Duan Wuxiu are taking care of it.

The path is self-chosen. Others had no reason to beak, so the two stopped mentioning this topic, Lin Zitong asked, "When can Uncle Shi leave the customs?" ”

She succeeded in marrying Dan and became one of the real people, and she could already be commensurate with the ten elders of Yudan, but Lin Zitong respected Gu Yan and still treated her as a teacher. Zhang Daniu did the same, he replied, "Half a year ago, the Eight Extremes Chaos Yuan Array was closed. There has been no sound, which is also very strange, according to the old practice. Every last two months, there is always news of the law. If Senior Sister Lin wants to summon me, I can light the incense here, and Uncle Lin will know. ”

Lin Zitong was just about to speak, when a sudden change occurred in the spiritual garden, the originally dim sky, projected a brilliant golden glow, shining on a golden flower in the garden, the stamens that were still budding to be released, suddenly bloomed. In an instant, the fragrance filled the garden, and everyone was fascinated when they smelled it.

Zhang Daniu was shocked, seeing that the flower was blooming instantly, he rushed over quickly and took out a round jade plate in his hand. said: "This golden chrysanthemum was supposed to bloom on the day when the sun was at its peak seven days later, how could it suddenly be advanced?" ”

The flower only bloomed for a moment, and all the petals fell to the ground, Zhang Daniu didn't have time to catch it, and just screamed badly, at this time, eight pillars of light suddenly rose in the spiritual garden. The stone wall, which was originally as smooth as a mirror, suddenly became cloudy and brilliant, and then cracked from both sides, and the sky was full of golden light, and a figure slowly walked out of the stone wall.

She only raised her hand slightly, and a piece of golden glow flew out from between her fingers, stuck to the ground, caught all the petals of the golden chrysanthemum, and said with a smile: "I think there is something abnormal in the leylines, the recent prosperity of the earth fire seems to be better than the previous decades, and sure enough, this golden chrysanthemum blooms in advance." ”

It was Gu Yan who spoke, she had been in retreat in the Chaos Yuan Array for seventeen years, concentrating on meditation, in the spiritual garden, the place where thousands of spiritual grasses gathered, the changes in the spiritual energy of the body and the earth, the wonder of the growth of all things, and she was extremely beneficial in cultivation.

This time, the speed of her cultivation was deliberately extremely slow, and it took her four years to only go out once a year to guide the silent words, and finally successfully advanced to the late stage of the Yudan three years ago. Come to think of it, this is still thanks to the cultivation skills when he was in the Xuandu Secret Realm. The four people who entered the secret realm to cultivate that time, needless to say, Lin Zhu, even Bi Zhenzhen has now entered the peak realm of the middle stage of the Jiedan, and he is only one chance away from the late stage of promotion.

After Gu Yan was in the late stage of the promotion to the Dan, he began to refine several of his magic weapons, and re-cultivated the Nine Xuantian Soldiers, forming a jianzhen that was connected by son and mother, and knew each other, and hid it in his body. Tai'a Sword was also refined by her to return to its roots, and the sharp edge on it was exhausted, and the brilliance became restrained. It's just that Ziyun Gui seems to have a unique formation hidden in it, and she has not broken it yet. Originally, I wanted to spend a while refining again, but I happened to sense that the earth veins had started to move, and the recent prosperity of the earth fire was still worse than before, Gu Yan was worried that Yun Ze's spiritual veins had changed, so he wanted to go out and take a look. Just in time for the chrysanthemum to bloom.

She took the nineteen petals that fell from the golden chrysanthemum, took six of them herself, and distributed the rest to Lin Zitong, "Elder Yang and the others opened the furnace to refine the Jidan, and they just need this thing, so let's go back and send it to them." ”

Lin Zitong took it respectfully, and then took out the flying book of the Tibetan Sword Villa, "This is a few days ago, it came directly from the flying book of the Tibetan Sword Villa, and it was handed over by the royal family, and it was named by the senior uncle." ”

Gu Yan stretched out his hand to take it, and saw that it was a dull jade slip, next to his fingers, there was a murderous aura rising, Gu Yan smiled, and with a slight twist of his two fingers, a golden glow flashed, eliminating the murderous aura above, and below was the unique mark of Yunchi Sword Venerable. Gu Yan was taken aback, this was actually the master of Su Man Arrow, the master of the Tibetan Sword Villa, Yunchi Sword Venerable.

For a Yuanying monk who can comprehend the mysteries of heaven and earth, she has always had a lot of respect, nodded in greetings, and then opened the jade slip, there are no superfluous words on it, only a few words, it is the handwriting of Yunchi Sword Venerable, and a high-spirited sword intent rushed to her face.

First of all, I apologized to the five monks who won the big competition, and then asked them to come to the Tibetan Sword Villa in May next year to participate in the reopening ceremony of the Sword Washing Pool. It's really like the style of sword cultivation, crisp and neat, never much, and the following is his signature.

Gu Yan saw it and closed the jade slip. Silent and silent. She has been in retreat for seventeen years, not only has the realm broken through, but also all the magic weapons have been successfully cultivated, and the spiritual garden has become more and more vigorous under her careful cultivation, and the situation of the Bixia Sect is very good, and she does not need to make any efforts. Therefore, it is quite a bit of a static and contemplative meaning.

Moreover, according to the practice of a monk, when there is a breakthrough, one should meditate and meditate. Stabilize the realm, and when one's own cultivation begins to stagnate, one has to go out and travel. Look for opportunities, experience hardships and dangers, and realize the Tao heart. As soon as she was in retreat, it was seventeen years, and it was time to go out and do some activities.

Gu Yan put away the jade slip and asked, "Zitong, are the heads and elders here?" ”

Lin Zitong replied: "The head of the sect is still here, among the elders, Master Bi and Elder Duan are accompanying their disciples in retreat, and Elder Ji and Master Lan are traveling far away. The rest is there. ”

The current inner gate of the Bixia Sect includes Gu Yan, Bi Zhenzhen, Lan Xiang, Ji Quan, Duan Wuxiu, Wei Lengqiu, and the other two elders who came over, plus Gan Biwu and Lin Zitong, who have not been married for a long time, there are a total of ten monks who have joined the Dan. Among them, the eight elders are not all like Gu Yan who don't care about foreign affairs, like Ji Quan and Wei Lengqiu, most of them are leading affairs, and the other two newly promoted elders are all sects attached from other counties. Received the same treatment as the Asuka Gate, and the original owners of the Gate were all promoted to the Presbyterian Church. If Gu Yan wants to travel far, there are some things that he has to explain in advance.

Zhang Da Niu saw Gu Yan pondering, hesitated and didn't step forward, Gu Yan saw him at a glance, and said with a smile: "Da Niu, I know your thoughts, you have been guarding the Spiritual Garden all these years, it's really hard, I don't know if you can understand?" ”

Zhang Da Niu was suddenly solemn, stood up straight and said: "The so-called heaven and earth are spiritual, all things are created, there is a union in the division, and there is a part in the combination. What he means is that heaven and earth create all things, and the aura is the same, but the spiritual grass grows differently, which is the wonder of all things, and the principle of creation that exists in one mind.

Gu Yan asked again: "There are increases and decreases in the sky, and there are circles and decreases in the earth, each of which is different, what is the explanation?" Gu Yan asked him, heaven and earth create all things, why are different spiritual grasses absorbing different spiritual energy, is the creator biased?

Zhang Daniu replied again: "The life of all things, the law is natural, the sky increases and decreases, the vitality is supplemented, and the yin and yang are balanced." He replied to Gu Yanzhi's question, saying that things between heaven and earth have their own laws of balance, just like a bird that is light and gives birth to wings, and a beast that is clumsy and heavy is supplemented by muscles and bones, and all things have their own way of balance, which cannot be resisted by human beings.

Gu Yan nodded, and then said: "It's great that you can solve the way of balance, but the full moon is still missing, the universe is still incomplete, and the heaven and earth are not complete. ”

Zhang Daniu's whole body froze, and he immediately replied: "The disciple is willing to invest in the Spirit Garden for another ten years to realize the superior avenue." ”

Gu Yan said with a smile: "There is no need to be so nervous, it's just the natural way to dissolve the old, only you have to pass it on, I can't help but be harsh, before getting married, lay some foundations first, it's not a bad thing, Senior Sister Linglin has her own fate, you don't have to compare with her." And I will practice in the spiritual garden for a few more years, and when I return, I can start the retreat. She groaned and said, "If I don't return within seven years, as long as I understand this path, I can go into retreat." This bottle of elixir is very beneficial to protect your state of mind from demons. Then she took out a jade bottle from her bosom and handed it over.

Zhang Daniu thanked him and took it, Lin Zitong was clear-minded, heard what Gu Yan meant, and asked, "What does Uncle Shi mean, is he planning to go to Tibetan Sword Villa?" ”

Gu Yan nodded, "I have comprehended in silence, my deeds are complete, and I have a sense of quiet thinking, and it is probably time to go out." I went back to the front mountain first, and told the head of the house that I would take care of the affairs of the spiritual garden, and then I would arrive. ”

Lin Zitong responded, and flew away with Qingtianjue again. Gu Yan explained some of the affairs in the Spirit Garden to Zhang Daniu, especially the several spirit grasses she carefully cultivated, which are still very old, so Zhang Daniu can take care of them well, and there must be no loss. Then she handed him the jade talisman that opened the Eight Extremes Chaos Yuan Array, in case something happened to the Bixia Sect, and Gu Yan didn't have time to rush back, she could use this jade talisman to move the entire Spirit Garden into the Chaos Yuan Array, and use the formation of the clouds from the cave to protect herself.

Zhang Daniu carefully wrote down what Gu Yan said, and then took the jade talisman before he was ordered, Gu Yan went to the Spirit Garden again, and went to see the silent words within the formation he had arranged.

Mo Yan half a year ago, when she last went out of the customs, she had already begun to retreat to impact the foundation building, Gu Yan saw that she was in the formation, the treasure was solemn, the eyebrows were radiant, and the aura in her body had already overflowed, but for some reason, there was no sign of foundation building. Gu Yan thought for a moment before thinking of the problem.

Mo Yan is her first disciple, Gu Yan is very dedicated to her teaching, for fear that she will have a poor pool when building the foundation because her foundation is not strong, so the foundation in front of her will inevitably be thicker, and the toughness of the meridians in Mo Yan's body is too strong, so that the aura absorbed has not been able to break through the pass, so it has been delayed until now. When she succeeded in building her foundation, she would have a much stronger foundation than ordinary monks who had barely succeeded by taking Tsukuji Dan many times, and her future cultivation would be more stable. It's just that in this way, if you want to build a successful foundation, I don't know what year and month it will be.

Gu Yan thought about it for a while, then took out a bunch of purple flame crystals, arranged a new spirit gathering array beside her, and then drove Ziyungui and flew to the front mountain.

When she arrived at the front mountain and landed under the mountain gate, she found that the rest of the elders were lined up with Gan Biwu as the leader, as well as the inner disciples who stayed at the mountain gate, adding up to more than 100 people, came to greet her in a mighty manner, and couldn't help but be startled, and said, "Why is the head of the sect so grand? ”

Gan Biwu said with a smile: "Hearing that Elder Gu is out of the customs, all the disciples yearn for it, and they are willing to see the demeanor of the fairy back then, so they came to welcome him." ”

Gu Yan couldn't help laughing, when she was in Yunyang City, she was very popular, and there were quite a few young monks in Yunze who took her as their idol and later joined the Bixia Sect, most of them came to her under the banner of her. It's just that Gu Yan has been in retreat in the Spirit Garden since Dabi, and even many of the disciples of this sect have never seen her, and when they heard Lin Zitong's summons, they all came to see the fairy demeanor of Megatron Yunze back then. It made Gu Yan a little crying and laughing.

At this time, the two people standing behind Gan Biwu stepped forward to salute respectively, and Gan Biwu introduced: "This is Cao Zhenren, this is Fairy Ruan of Jingbo Lake." ”

The man and the woman all saluted Gu Yan separately. These two people joined the Bixia Sect seven years ago, at that time, Gu Yan was in retreat, impacting the late stage of the Jiedan, and only came out once a year to guide the silent words, and then hurriedly entered, and then the two of them were away all the year round, taking care of the affairs of the Bixia Sect in other counties, so the three of them had not met.

Gu Yan had some impressions of that Ruan Fairy, she had met in the ancient battlefield, and at that time she seemed to be a vassal sect of the Qin family, but she didn't expect to invest in the Bixia Sect now.

Fairy Ruan is a monk in the middle stage of the Yudan, and she seems to be very quiet, but when she sees Gu Yan, she will show a smile, she speaks softly, which is very good, "When I was in Yinyunze, I saw the majesty of Fairy Gu, and now when I see myself, I feel less scary." ”

That Cao Zhenren looked a little taciturn, and after a few words of greeting with Gu Yan, he stopped talking, Gu Yan nodded secretly in his heart, these two people are both stable people. It seems that Gan Biwu has not been in a hurry to expand shili outward over the years, but has adopted a strategy of steady expansion, step by step. This is also in line with her thoughts, if the Bixia Sect wants to become a true inheritance of the sect, it must strive for excellence when choosing a sect, otherwise it will be prosperous and will die suddenly.

Everyone has seen it, so they went to the front hall and sat down, Lin Zitong insisted on taking the gift of the juniors, standing beside Gu Yan, and Gan Biwu could not help her. Gu Yan met with the disciples of the Inner Sect and said a few words, which were nothing more than diligent cultivation. Then everyone entered the inner hall, and Gan Biwu asked: "I heard Zitong say, do you want to go to the Tibetan Sword Villa?" ”

Gu Yan nodded, "I have been in retreat for seventeen years, the realm has been completed, and I am quite quiet and thoughtful, since I received the flying book, I want to go down the mountain for a walk, I don't know if the head of the house can explain?" ”

Gan Biwu said with a smile: "Now everything in Yunze is quiet as usual, and no one comes to trouble the Bixia Sect, if you go out, at least there will be answers everywhere, and it will not be the same as before." Thinking of the embarrassment of the year, everyone who experienced it became daxiao. (To be continued)
