XXXIX. Receiving apprentices
Bamboo Peak, the whole mountain peak is shaped like a green bamboo straight to the sky, layer upon layer, there are white clouds around the halfway mountainside, look like a girl's apron from a distance, when the sun rises and sets, the clouds are colorful, don't be a scenery. The ancestral hall of the Qinglian Sword Sect is located on the top of the bamboo peak, and the number of people is scarce, compared to many sects with tens of thousands of people, even if the Qinglian Sword Sect adds anonymous peripheral disciples, it will not exceed a thousand.
Li Twelve and Hu Chen Zhang Sanfeng's little tail walked together, since the night of the full moon, Zhang Sanfeng seemed to have changed his temperament, taciturn and powerful, the little tail felt guilty about the old man, and did not dare to say more, but Hu Chen had no worries, and Li Twelve was like a year-old friend, nothing to talk about.
The Qinglian Sword Sect was a third-rate sect called the Yunlu Sword Sect before Li Twelve became the sect master. Li Twelve's reputation in the Yunlu Sword Sect is not obvious, and he went out to travel the world in the Yudan Realm, and when he returned, he was already a sword cultivator who was famous all over the world in the God Realm, but it was a pity that the Sword Sect rose, and the Yunlu Sword Sect belonged to the kind with relatively hard bones.
In history, there are many later cultivators who have some arguments about the name of Li Twelve's three great sword immortals, after all, the Sword Sect and the Qin Wangdian are all first-class wealthy factions, and there is only one Qinglian Sword Sect with no reputation left, how can he, Li Twelve, dare to rank among the three great sword immortals? For hundreds of years, there have always been people who do not know whether to live or die want to climb up on Li Twelve's reputation, and the duckweed river under the bamboo peak can catch many geniuses every year.
Li Twelve relied on his own strength to let the Yunlu Sword Sect, which was on the verge of extinction, survive, although the name of the sect was changed, but some people stayed because of it, and the Qinglian Sword Sect was also listed as one of the five major sects in the world by Jiufang Mountain in one fell swoop because of Li Twelve, and the world looked sideways.
Hu Chen walked around Li Twelve every day to ask questions, and the old man was not annoyed when he was entangled, as long as Hu Chen asked, he answered. Only then did Hu Chen know that the small vegetable leaves in Tongxing Town were a test given to them by Li Twelve, and Li Twelve also said frankly that if their performance was not satisfactory to him, maybe they would not be so lively now, as for the moonlit night collision is his second test, what Li Twelve wants to see is their attitude towards life and death, and the result still satisfies him.
Hu Chen hadn't felt the deep meaning of Li Twelve's words, after all, Li Twelve smiled as if he was telling a trivial matter, but Zhang Sanfeng heard it in his ears with a different meaning, not to mention Li Twelve's stun of him, what kind of them did the old man want to see through these things? If they didn't achieve Li Twelve's expected results, was it really as he said, and they were gone? Are these worldly masters always so eager to control other people's minds?
After Li Twelve learned the route of their northbound journey during the conversation with Hu Chen, he couldn't help but waver a little about the idea of accepting three people as apprentices. It is not an exaggeration for these two boys and a demon to say that they are rare cultivators in a hundred years, and they have traveled more than tens of thousands of miles all the way, not to mention the famous mountains and rivers along the way, the ghost cultivator of Huangliang Mountain, the Heavenly Master Dojo of Luoyan Mountain, the Qingliang Temple of Qingliang Mountain, etc., there are so many cultivation sects along the way, and none of them fancy their qualifications and accept them into their pockets?
Li Twelve had doubts, and the three of them had their own divination, for which they even spent a priceless Shangqing Sansheng Fu, the number of Shangqing Sansheng Fus and their rarity, it is rumored that it was from the hands of a master who was good at deriving from Daomen, and there were not many that have been handed down, since Daomen faded out of the mainland, this talisman is even more expensive.
As the name suggests, the Shangqing Sansheng Talisman can detect a person's Sansheng Sansheng. Li Twelve's encounter with the little tail can only be said to be a ghost, Zhang Sanfeng is like a blank piece of paper, and he can't detect it at all, which provokes Li Twelve to take a few more glances at Zhang Sanfeng. Hu Chen has traces to follow, but those ordinary lives give Li Bai the feeling that he has such a past life, how can he change his life against the sky in this life, as if he had changed his life?
Li Twelve's eyes looked at Hu Chen and Zhang Sanfeng with complicated eyes, Hu Chen's fate seemed to have been designed, and Zhang Sanfeng couldn't see the past at all.
Li Twelve also thought deeply about whether Hu Chen and the three of them were the layout of several families to target him, but then he was relieved, did the Qinglian Sword Sect have any treasures worthy of their attention? Immortal Sword Taibai? Qinglian Jiuge? Li Twelve smiled freely, it was all on himself, and if he wanted them, he had to ask his sword if he agreed.
Seeing that there is another day to reach the realm of the Qinglian Sword Sect, Zhang Sanfeng is very determined, these days he has also roughly understood Li Twelve's personality, the old man has a straightforward personality, and he is not the same, compared to the secretiveness of some worldly masters, the old man seems to be a maverick, perhaps it is precisely because of this that the reputation of the Qinglian Sword Sect is not obvious but can proudly stand in the forefront of thousands of sects in the world.
Separation is imminent, Zhang Sanfeng is somewhat sad, the ups and downs along the way, the hardships and joys, from the beginning he knew that there would be such an ending, so many times even the little tail he didn't take care of as before, he wanted to give Hu Chen more good memories as much as possible, he also taught Hu Chen a lot of things over the years, and Hu Chen also learned a lot of truths in Zhang Sanfeng's subtlety.
Zhang Sanfeng once felt confused about the future, and also lamented the ruthlessness of fate, and he didn't want the tragedy of the previous life to happen again. After thinking about it for this time, he also thought about it, and no matter what the result was, they had laughed, cried, and scolded angrily. When he was a child, his aunt scolded harshly, he walked on the street at midnight with a hungry wow crying little tail, hesitated for a long time to knock on a certain family just to find something to eat, Hu Chen encountered a fierce beast in the mountains and forests, he resolutely rushed up to fight for his life, and now there is a scar across his waist, when Hu Chen cried a little, he smiled and comforted Hu Chen, grinning and letting the little tail lighter.
After all, Li Twelve still couldn't get around the hurdle in his heart, and he didn't hesitate to spend nearly a hundred years of skill to make another divination, and this time he finally let him see something. Hu Chen's fortune is even deeper, even if he is feathered one day, Hu Chen will not suffer with the Qinglian Sword Sect, Zhang Sanfeng and Xiaowei should not be too deeply involved in the cause and effect of the Qinglian Sword Sect, there is a sword that has been hanging above the head of the Qinglian Sword Sect, for so many years, he has already been out of the high level but has never broken through the void, not because he can't, but once he steps into this realm, there are things he has to do.
Li Twelve proposed to teach the three of them some small techniques that can be used in the two realms of concentrating and imperial objects, which are not very powerful, but can play some unexpected roles in some specific situations, so that they will not always use the magic of spiritual shock that harms others and themselves when they encounter danger in these two realms.
The three of them all learned very quickly, and they were able to bypass the class, which shows that the three of them have good cultivation qualifications. Knowing that Zhang Sanfeng relied on the crops learned in the beggar's nest to cultivate the martial arts to the pneumatic realm, and Hu Chen cultivated to the inner realm of cultivation, and the two of them had already stepped into the ranks of qi practitioners with some mantras they had heard, Li Twelve was almost about to change his original intention, and even Zhang Sanfeng's little tail was collected, this kind of cultivation qualification even looked away from him at first, after all, there are very few geniuses who are self-taught, but he has really never seen such a rebellion.
Late one night, Li Twelve and Zhang Sanfeng had a long talk all night, which not only extinguished Zhang Sanfeng's desire for the Sword Sect, but also frankly said that he wanted to accept Hu Chen as a disciple, and Zhang Sanfeng and Little Tail had to stay away from Luofu, and the identity of the Little Tail Demon Clan was undoubtedly a provocation for the Sword Sect that was close at hand.
The Zhang family Heavenly Master is jealous and hateful, and he will not give up if he is staring at the little tail, and the last time he escaped with the protection of the Zen master, it will be a hidden danger after all. Li Twelve gave Zhang Sanfeng two suggestions, detoured to the Boundless Sea to avoid Tianchang County through the Youyou River into the mirror wheel, the mirror wheel kingdom of the ladyboy cohabitation, for the identity of the little tail demon clan is normal, in the early years Li Twelve traveled to the mainland, and there were also one or two friends in the Star Picking Tower. Or return the same way, cross the Youyou River into the Xun country, although the Xun country is the country of demon cultivation, the most believe in the strength of the respect, in addition to the Qin Wang Palace, the Buddhist temple can gain a foothold in the Xun country, itself is a kind of proof, Li 12 traveled to the Xun country, had stayed in the temple, and it was also a little friendship.
Zhang Sanfeng had an argument with Li Twelve about divination, and from Zhang Sanfeng's point of view, setting up a stall to ask for hexagrams was nothing more than a trick to fool people on the street and alley corners, but he did not expect that even a master cultivator like Li Twelve would be convinced of him! According to the sloppy Taoist, a great cultivator like Li Twelve, who had only half one foot in the realm of turning into the void, was only one step away from becoming an immortal. People in their realm turned over the clouds and rain, destroyed the city and cut off the river, and just raised their hands, how could they believe in the ethereal fate?
Li Twelve was noncommittal about this, how could his fate be as simple as Zhang Sanfeng said. Heavenly Dao Heavenly Dao, cultivators go against the sky, want to break through the shackles of mortal bodies, and live with heaven and earth, how can they really do what they want. Li Twelve didn't talk much about this, Zhang Sanfeng would set foot in the Upper Three Realms sooner or later, and I don't know if he would be able to talk like he did today.
Li Bai recalled a little of the past, and sighed with a wry smile: "Don't talk about this, but there is one point, you and Little Tail must be careful when walking in the world, the monks who practice the Xuanhuang lineage, Jiufang Mountain is the master of this lineage, this kind of monk never uses the realm Dao method to discuss the level of combat power, when you encounter such people, you must be very careful!"
Zhang Sanfeng nodded in response, Li Twelve will be a good master, and it has nothing to do with the realm.
Hu Chen admired Li Twelve very much, and the stories told by Li Twelve were more exciting and exciting than the few books of Zhiwei that Zhang Sanfeng carried with him, and the demons and demons could be slashed with one sword. Hu Chen was noisily trying to see how sharp the fairy sword Taibai in Li Twelve's mouth was, and Li Twelve replied with a smile that there would be a chance.
