"The sky peak, the sea of clouds. The 10-year event, the "10-year Cloud Summit" kicked off in a low-key manner on the day of the solstice and the fifth day of the fifth month of May.

After all, three thousand years ago, due to various conjectural reasons, the head of the 281st generation and Cangshan Dao led 80,000 disciples to close the mountain in the Cangshan Cave of Yunshuhai. Among the different opinions, some people speculate that there was a conflict between the Shangqing Yuan and the Taiqing Temple, the largest Taoist sect in the world, and the head of the sect was wise and graceful, and took the initiative to retreat to protect the common people and his 80,000 disciples;

These are just the happy conversations of the people in the rivers and lakes after tea and dinner, and they still retain their awe for the Shangqing Academy, which has inherited tens of thousands of years of Taoism. Although it was held in a low-key manner, without any notices and greetings, it still attracted a large number of celebrities and heroes from all walks of life, leading the outstanding children in the door, accompanied by relatives and guards, and a month ago, they drove into the nearest town to Yunshuhai, fifty miles away-Meixiangli. The fresh scene of fragrant flowers making snow, small bridges flowing water, and people with light winds has recently become overcrowded. The local residents who do not rely on the top of the shop to make a living, as soon as the door is opened, the wine is placed in front of the door, and they are happy to start the inn business.

A few years ago, it was also the occasion of the Yunxiao Summit, and people from all walks of life in the rivers and lakes gathered in Meixiangli. The game is unrestrained, and there is a not weak cultivation, drunk and brainy, disagreeing with people, fighting, and injuring some residents, such things happen from time to time. Although the Shangqing Academy has retired to the rivers and lakes for many years, its strength and cultivation are still the gateway of Taoism, and it is extremely particular about etiquette, because such a bloody case occurred in the Yunxiao Summit, after all, it cannot be indifferent, so two seven-grade Taoist monarchs were dispatched to Meixiangli to preside over the overall situation. One person used overhaul to maintain order, and the other poured Dao power into his throat, ranking above 10,000 people, and the voice spread for hundreds of miles, saying: "Within a radius of 100 miles, the clouds and trees and the sea and the mountains are burned and killed, and those who stir up chaos are killed; those who buy evil and avengers are killed at the ends of the earth! The first three "no forgiveness" stirred up waves in the crowd, and the last "cliff" was more like a heavy punch into people's hearts. Because, in this world, there is only one place, there is a cliff, that is the Yunshu Haicang Mountain Cave, and there is only one Dao Gate that occupies this place, that is, the Shangqing Courtyard. Since then, the people in the rivers and lakes have been low-key, and they dare not be presumptuous in their land, and the prestige of the Shangqing Yuan is high.

On the fifth sunny day of the first day of May, the plum fragrance Lidan wall is blue tile, the red flowers are covered with the halo of the warm sun, the fragrance is intoxicating, walk across the stone arch bridge to the west, step through the wetland shallow grass, look at the endless daylily at a glance, behind is the rolling cloud peak snow mountain, wearing a white flower feather, and like a fairy in white clothes to win the snow, ** solemn and pleasant.

There is no mountain gate in Shangqing Temple, because it does not need to be used to decorate the face, nor does it need to be used to protect the dojo. The way up the mountain is blocked by a natural canal, a cold spring flows down from the mountain, and next to the entrance of the straight and steep stairs on the opposite side stands a huge eucalyptus tree like a guard, and a natural blue boulder on the right side of the entrance, on which the word "Cangshan" is carved with a sword.

The special place here is the natural potential of water, trees, and stones, forming a natural formation - the innate primordial formation. It does not have the ability to attack or defend, but has the effect of purifying the body and mind, the original is the origin, is the beginning of the avenue of heaven and earth, water nourishes the tree, the tree is rich in soil and stone, the soil and stone bear water, there is no life, there is nothing, the Tao is natural.

Along the mountain, with low bushes, faintly visible pavilions are deep, some sit by the water, some are chiseled on the mountain to put the towers in the high pavilion, lightly covered with thick clouds and shallow mist, the charming demeanor of a good fairy daughter. When I came to the half-waist, I suddenly had a feeling that the willows were dark and the flowers were bright, and the world was suddenly opened. This is the main venue for the Taoist scriptures and Taoism - Sixiangtai, surrounded by fairy energy, no boundary. When the flow of people is crowded, the smoke and clouds are scattered, and the four major Taoist gods of Taoism appear in the southeast and northwest - the green dragon, the white tiger, the vermilion bird, and the Xuanwu. A few "quacks, quacks" turned around him, and he didn't see a figure, it was: "Yunshen doesn't know where to go, only the geese return." ”

Hearing a crane roaring in the distance, they all looked up and looked intently, and saw a Taoist with a childish face and eyebrows, black and gold edges and white lining, fluttering down from the clouds, and everyone below knew that he was a master of the Shangqing Academy when they saw his outfit, and hurriedly silenced and saluted. A crane more than two people tall turned around the heads of the people, flapped its wings, stopped beside the Taoist, shook its red red crown, and retreated behind the preaching platform.

The thunder of the preaching pulpit was hard to believe that the voice came from such a body, which was not weak, but also elegant and full of charm. Lao Dao opened his mouth and said: "I am the Yunshu Sea Cangshan Cave, the Nine Palaces and Eighteen Peaks of the Shangqing Courtyard, and the Palace Master of the Yunxiao Palace-Ling Xiaozi, Amitayus Longevity!"

Ling Xiaozi nodded and said, "Senior Brother is now at the critical stage of impacting the Four Rank Dao Saints, therefore, this Yunxiao Summit will be presided over by the deity. The conference lasts for a total of ten days, and those who need to take the test can follow the arrangements of the Xuanyang Daoist. As he spoke, he raised his hand and pointed to the right, and a middle-aged Taoist with black hair and kind eyebrows took a step forward, leaning over slightly to signal to everyone. "This Yunxiao Summit is still ten days, the first seven days are to assess the disciples, and the last three days will be held here to preach, and the main speaker is also the Buddha-figure. Then the conversation changed: "However, this year's Yunxiao Summit has made slight changes in the disciple assessment items. Judging by the literary talent and martial arts alone, it has been a success. Therefore, in addition to the martial arts competition and special talent assessment, one item has also been added, virtue! Please be mentally prepared for the test and do it yourself. With that, he flicked his hem, turned around and disappeared in front of everyone, and he didn't know whether to escape or fly away. The crane roared, its wings fluttered, and it chased towards the clouds like a blue and white lightning bolt.

Ling Xiaozi's last hand "shrunk the ground into inches" made tens of thousands of people in the audience admire: it is neither a retreat nor a method of controlling the sky, and looking at the body of the spirit bird, it also has the ability of six grades, and the 28,000-year-old "Heavenly Blessing", although it has also given birth to some strange things in heaven and earth, it is also a rare existence.

Xuanyang Dao Chief, dressed in a blue and white Taoist robe, raised his hand and waved, bringing up a gang wind to blow away the clouds and mist next to him. A number of public notice tables and desks were exposed, and several little Taoist children with red lips and white teeth, one grinding ink, and one holding a pen record. Xuanyang Dao Chang raised his voice and said: "The test time and precautions of the Yunxiao Summit are all on the bulletin board behind me, please read them carefully, don't miss the time." In addition, please read the age limit for taking the test repeatedly, which is 10 to 15 years old, male or female, and if there is any false declaration of age, it will be severely punished! After that, it was also a gust of wind, drifting away. According to the words, everyone stepped forward to sign up, don't look at some of them, they are also quite polite, no matter how domineering the lord is, he will not dare to make a mistake in the Shangqing Academy.

In Qingsong Lake Courtyard, Songshu Daoist held a wooden card between his index finger and middle finger, handed it to Chu Qi, and said, "Xiao Qi, this is your identity card at the Yunxiao Summit, and put it away." Don't worry, although you have no talent in cultivation over the years, you have unexpectedly had a good feeling for memorizing spells and drawing talismans, and you may have unexpected results. Songshu said this, and stroked his beard with a little worry. Drawing talismans is based on personal Dao power cultivation as the force, rune paper as the bearer, and rune lines as the outline, and different runes express the Dao power in different ways. For example, the rejuvenation charm is the simplest entry charm, which has the effect of stopping bleeding and generating muscles, and the required Dao force and materials are also the lowest: first, the number of Dao power products needs to reach more than 13 grades, and the required talisman paper is ordinary yellow paper, but it needs to soak the juice of the rejuvenation grass for 7749 days, so that the effect of the rejuvenation talisman can be better played; 。 On the one hand, the use of winter fern in the material has good compatibility with Dao force, and on the other hand, it also has the effect of invigorating blood and removing blood stasis, but it is cold and not conducive to the injured, so cinnabar is added to reconcile.

Although Xiao Qi is not a genius, he is also a smart child, although his memory is not unforgettable, but he is a hard-working person. Although Songshu did not say it directly, he could also sense one thing from the other party's faint worries: he had no talent for cultivation. Xiao Qi is well-behaved and filial, knowing that after Kuiyang feathered, Songshu is even more well-intentioned, and asks the master Songyang Zhenren to kneel down and beg for Xiao Qi to observe and learn, which records the extreme, upper, middle, and lower levels of production, use methods and spells used by the thirteen-grade Dao Tong to the six-rank Dao King, and engrave them in his mind day and night.

One day, the Songshu Taoist picked up an eleven-grade talisman drawn by Xiao Qi - the Thunder Spell and played with it, knowing that Xiao Qi wrote well, and his ability to copy was also extremely good. At first, it was pleasing to the eye, but it was just that he was drawing for fun, and it couldn't be a real charm. But when you hold it in your hand, there seems to be chaotic energy rushing out, you can't hold it, and it falls to the ground, only to see the black rune paper, the light is flashing, it doesn't seem like a waste talisman. Songshu hesitantly picked up the talisman with two fingers, put it on his chest, muttered a few incantations, and threw it with his right hand. The next moment, only an explosion was heard, and a bolt of lightning the thickness of the bowl fell from the sky, blasting the pine tree in front of him to the point that there was no slag left.

Song Shu was stunned for a moment, he was not good at spells, Chu Qi, the kid, learned quickly, and later had to shake out the bottom of his few pressure boxes. This Thunder Spell (Eleventh Rank Lower Rank) is the most powerful of all Songshu's methods, and the power of the Thunder Spell just now seems to have surpassed the middle level.

It is impossible for the writer to make a spell that exceeds his own level, because the strength of the rune directly determines the number and rank of the rune, and the rune is also a channel, if the strength is too low, there is no need for the user to pour in the power of the rune, and the material on the rune paper will first break through the rune line, which will eventually lead to the waste of the rune.

Although Songshu was puzzled by Xiao Qi's ability to draw eleven talismans, he was extremely happy in his heart, and Xiao Qi was happy to be able to officially enter the Shangqing Academy. has always been cautious, Songshu has always been worried, ten years of no product is a fact, after all, it still depends on the Tao, after thinking left and right, he asked Xiao Qi for a thunder talisman, knelt in front of Songyang Zhenren, presented this talisman with both hands and claimed that it was painted by Chu Qi himself. Songyang Zhenren was surprised, muttered: "Thunder Fu", the latter was even more surprised, although he knew that the power had far exceeded his own lower-level talisman, but he didn't expect it to be the Extreme Dao Fu, so he hit the railway while it was hot: "The Dao is the first in the Daomen, but if Xiao Qi can learn the 'Dao Zang Fu Lu', he will definitely become the first person in the Fu Dao, and I will go to the Qing Academy." Songyang Zhenren was silent, turned to leave, and Songshu was gloomy. Seven days later, Songyang Zhenren threw down a thick ancient seal script and said: "First, don't talk to others about this matter Second, this book can only be read by Chu Qi alone. Songshu was overjoyed and thanked, and the hope left was even greater.
