After Lu Yuan knocked on the door, there was silence in Yuqingguan, and no one responded for a long time. The wind blows, and the peach petals fall, piled up like powder snow under the stone steps, and also sticks to the edges of the straw sandals.

Looking at the grass growing in the cracks of the stone steps, and the heavy moss marks on the gate, perhaps this nunnery in the deep mountains has long been deserted. It must be known that there was Zhang Xianzhong entrenched in Shuzhong before, and then there were Manchu and Qing Dynasty two roads knocking on the pass, after the war at the end of the Ming Dynasty, the number of people in Shu dropped by one-third. If it weren't for the fact that Marshal Li Dingguo stabilized the seven southwestern provinces and killed Hu Ling to block the Yangtze River, maybe Shuzhong would be ten rooms and nine empty at the moment, not to mention a nunnery in the deep mountains.

But after Lu Yuan knocked on the door three times, he stood in front of the door like a green pine with his sleeves folded, watching the peach blossoms like rain, as if he was sure that there must be someone in the nunnery.

Sure enough, after a long time, the sound of intermittent footsteps sounded in the hermitage. The footsteps were slow and scattered, and Lu Yuan listened to her walk from the hall to the back of the nunnery, and it actually took a full quarter of an hour. The man paused behind the door for a long time before he "creaked" the door open.

The moment the door opened, Lu Yuan took a breath of cold air. I saw the old nun standing behind the door, her body was shriveled like dry wood, and her face was as thin as a skeleton. She staggered to the doorway, as if she was about to fall to the ground and die. Look at the nunnery behind her. Most of it had collapsed, and the small courtyard was filled with knee-length grass except for a large peach tree. Barren and dilapidated to the extreme.

"Small... Shang, this... No... As soon as the old nun opened her mouth, she revealed her bare gums after her teeth fell out. The appearance of opening and closing was very terrifying, which made Lu Yuan's heart suddenly sudden, and the cold hairs all over his body were about to stand up.

"I, I, I'm looking for someone." Xiao Luzi stammered.

"Here... No... Person. The old nun replied in that fluttering tone.

Lu Yuan swallowed his saliva. "No, no one?" I'm rubbing, are you a ghost?! Xiao Lu never thought about it. I'm actually afraid of ghosts...... No, it should be said that in the face of the terrifying appearance of this old nun, even the ghost will be frightened! "Me. I. I heard that the great master of Yuqing is here. ”

It's over, this stutter can't be cured.

"Are you looking for Yuqing? Who introduced you? The old nun's eyes rolled upwards to reveal the whites of her eyes.

"Piercing the clouds, Bai Guyi."

"It turned out to be him," the old nun suddenly stopped shaking her legs, her body stopped floating, and she straightened her waist with a "gaba". was so frightened that Xiao Luzi jumped out seven or eight feet away! The old nun glanced at her, "What are you running!" …… Since it was introduced by Bai Guyi. So what kind of tourists are there? Can't you just come to the door! Come along. After saying that, he turned around and walked to the back of the nunnery.

It really doesn't seem that simple. Although the corners of Lu Yuan's mouth twitched, he still followed the old nun into the nunnery. Sure enough, after a few steps, the scene inside the nunnery changed. First, the decaying houses were replaced by new houses in a blink of an eye, and then the space in the nunnery was also expanded, and the exquisite and elegant houses and gardens were presented one by one. Although it is not as delicate as the Suzhou and Hangzhou generation, it also has a unique flavor. This kind of concealment technique is extremely delicate, and there is no ingenuity in it, even Lu Yuan didn't see through it before, it should be from a woman's hand.

Through the hall, a huge peach blossom tree hundreds of meters high is planted in the courtyard in the middle of the nunnery, and the branches spread out to the size of hundreds of steps, covering the entire sky above the nunnery like a canopy.

"You wait here, I'll call Yuqing to come out to see you." The old nun casually pointed to the location under the peach blossom tree and gave an order, and then walked alone to the back of the nunnery.

"Good". After the old nun left, Lu Yuan came to the peach tree alone, leaning on the peach tree and sitting cross-legged on the grass casually. The main trunk of the peach blossom tree is not hugged by dozens of people. Looking from below, the peach blossom tree is getting taller and taller, and the branches are full of flowers, and I don't know that millions of peach blossoms are blooming. This peach tree is obviously not an ordinary species, when Lu Yuan is close to the trunk, he can even feel that the aura appears around the trunk in a foggy form, floating in a dense manner, and the grand scene is not like the world.

Lu Yuan was intoxicated by it, and it took great perseverance to restrain himself from absorbing that strong spiritual power.

The last days of Xianxia, from another point of view, are the prosperous era of Xianxia culture. For example, in the Qing Dynasty, poetry and poetry have come to an end. But from another perspective, it also means that the entire poetry culture has gone through three stages: rebirth, prosperity, and decline, and has completed its entire career. When looking forward from the Qing Dynasty, you can almost see the whole life of poetry culture at a glance.

During the array of great poets and wonderful poems, the bright ones are like stars in the sky, and they are folded and shining in the entire sea of poems.

Now look at the Xianxia culture is the same, the entire Xianxia development to the Shushan era, is the last prosperous era. Looking back from this time, you will find that from the breathing of the vitality of heaven and earth to Hongjun's establishment of the sixteen-character avenue of "refining and refining gas, refining gas and transforming gods, refining gods and returning to emptiness, and refining voids and combining the way"; From the art of Neidan and Jindan born at the end of the Jin Dynasty, to the later Yuanying and even the "Sixteen Immortals"; From the martial artist's practice of qi to break the innate to the birth of swordsmen and sword immortals...... The avenues of ascension were born with the changes of the world, and were eliminated with the changes in the environment of heaven and earth.

Many powerful beings in the Spiritual Sky Immortal Realm need to rely on the faith incense provided by the human world. Therefore, although the Spiritual Sky Immortal Realm regards the mortal world as a dirty place, it cannot be completely separated from the human world. Not only that, but the Immortal Realm also had to provide a certain number of ascension places to appease those cultivators who were becoming more and more powerful in the human world. The so-called Ascension to the Heavenly Realm is the "rule of heaven and earth", but in fact, most of the rules are formulated by the people of the Lingkong Immortal Realm. After the god list, there is a lord in heaven. The rules of heaven and earth are becoming more and more stringent, and it is no longer possible to ascend on their own as in ancient times.

In the Shushan era, the technique of Jindan Ascension was no longer the mainstream. Because with the thinning and changing nature of the Yuan Qi of Heaven and Earth, it is very difficult to cultivate into a golden pill and a primordial infant, and it is almost impossible. However, with the emergence of the Sword Immortal cultivation path, the combat effectiveness of cultivators who relied on flying swords and magic weapons to cultivate had greatly increased. In this case, the Lingkong Immortal Realm has also adjusted the rules according to the situation, further reducing the conditions for ascension, and strengthening the role of external power. Nowadays, without accumulating a large amount of good deeds, you cannot ascend, and this has become the consensus of the cultivation world.

Lu Yuan doesn't need to ascend, but he still needs a technique that fits his attributes to push himself to a higher level.

Lu Daxian's golden pill technique is certainly very good, but that is only suitable for Lu Dongbin himself. At the level of Lu Yuan, the only choice is to take the road of independent innovation after reading a wide range of books. The reason why he has been stuck in the Qi training stage and has not gone further is precisely because of this. Now after getting Master Lianshan's Demon Sutra, Li Jingxu's "Qingcheng Bliss Taiqing Immortal Formula", Lu Chunyang's Jindan Technique, Nuwa's Five Spirits Immortal Recipe and some Shushan Sword Recipes, he extorted a copy from Bai Guyi, and he has gained a lot.

However, Lu Yuan, the cultivation technique of Buddhism, also wanted to learn one or two, so under the introduction of Bai Guyi, he came to Chengdu to visit Master Yuqing. He heard that this master of Yuqing was born in a side door, and later worshiped under the Youtan Shenni Sect, and he was a master of Buddhism. What's even more valuable is that this Yuqing master has no orthodox bias in his heart and is helpful. The Buddhist method in her hand may be the best authentic practice method to start with.

*****

Lu Yuan leaned on the tree and pondered, but he didn't notice that at some point, there was already a young nun under the tree. She stood quietly aside, watching the peach blossoms fall with Lu Yuan's gaze. The nun wears a crown on her head, her feet climb to the clouds, and she wears a yellow satin monk's robe. Melon seed face, slender and tall, very beautiful appearance.

"Did Bai Lao instruct you to come to me?" The nun asked gently, as if she was afraid of alarming the monk in front of her to look at the peach blossoms.

Lu Yuan retracted his gaze and turned to the nun who was in her twenties. When he saw her appearance, his expression was visibly stunned, and then he blurted out words of disbelief. "You, are you really Yuqing?"

"The poor nun is Yuqing." Yuqing looked at Lu Yuan curiously, showing a thoughtful expression, she was wondering when she had ever seen this person? But searching for memories yielded nothing.

"Hah! You, you are really Yuqing Shitai?! Lu Yuan repeated it again, as if he still couldn't accept that the person in front of him was Master Yuqing. Even though Master Yuqing has been cultivating for many years, he is still a little angry when he hears him say that.

"Could it be that the monk has ever seen another Yuqing?" Yu Qing said with a cold face.

"Of course," Monk Lu suddenly turned pale, as if his face had changed. "Of course I've seen another Yuqing!" He raised his right hand, with a black silk thread between his index finger and thumb, apparently removed from the garment he was wearing. And the other end of the silk thread was glued to the corner of Master Yuqing's robe...... "Didn't you just have one?" That old nun pretending to be a ghost is you. ”

"It's just a little joke." was caught, the nun of Yuqing just cocked her nose and admitted it happily, what can you do with me?

She heard Lu Yuan gritting his teeth and muttering, "I know... I knew that stinky was this virtue! I should have thought of it..."

"Who are you talking about?" Seeing Lu Yuan's changing expression, Yuqing Nuni suddenly became curious. It is important to know that most of the cultivators in the Shushan world have been reincarnated several times before they can accumulate enough good deeds to ascend. Therefore, it is not uncommon for some people to have grudges between them for generations. But Yuqing thinks that since he has practiced for several lifetimes, he doesn't owe much cause and effect, and he shouldn't include the person in front of him.

"Me?" Monk Lu changed his face again, and said with a smile, "I definitely didn't sarcastically have a monk but have a full head of hair, and the monk's robe is actually cut and cinched to highlight the figure - this kind of behavior that is obviously not in line with my Buddhist concept - I dare to swear by my conscience!" ”

"Whose conscience are you touching?!!" Yuqing Nun had fire-breathing eyes and stared at a dog hand pressed against her left chest. "Believe it or not, I'll chop it up for you!"
