Chapter 317: Doubts
But no matter what, the matter of slaying the dragon sword cannot be so decisive.
After all, this is a pivotal magic weapon of Longshou Peak - back then, in the hands of ten thousand swords and ten thousand senior brothers, no one dared to slay the dragon sword. Besides, Cang Song is not a small role in Qingyunmen... Long Shoufeng has always been in charge of the criminal law in the door, as the first seat, Cang Song's status in the Qingyun Gate on weekdays is almost second only to the head of Daoxuan, and now it is placed by Tian Buyi's people, no matter from which point of view, it is impossible to press the sword on Dazhu Peak like this...
Almost on the day of this incident, after Qi Hao and Lin Jingyu turned around Longshou Peak, they had already reported the matter to Cangsong. But after learning about the cause and effect, Cangsong Zhenren, who was upright on weekdays and couldn't rub sand in his eyes, didn't move for a long time. He didn't immediately go to Dazhu Peak to ask about the crime, and he didn't mention the matter to the senior brother in charge, and asked the head of Daoxuan to uphold justice, but he locked himself in the wing room alone, thinking about it before and after.
On the surface, this matter is completely Da Zhufeng's bullying and arrogance. Such a simple and direct situation, even if Cang Song directly pointed at his Tian Buyi nose and scolded, the latter had nothing to say. After all, the people of Dazhufeng have gone too far in this matter. Even if it is an elder in the sect, there is no precedent for being so rampant and bullying the disciples of other lineages, let alone directly seizing the magic weapon?
It is necessary to know that cultivators, the most important magic weapon equipment, Jun Bu Sword Immortal Ancient Sword as the treasure of Qingyunmen Town, no one has dared to touch it for thousands of years. And although the Dragon Slaying Sword cannot be compared with the Zhuxian Ancient Sword, no matter what, it is also a powerful magic weapon, as an elder in the sect, where is the reason to forcibly take away the magic weapon of the disciple?
However, it is precisely because this incident is so strange. Cangsong, who has always been resolute, has been unable to make a decision for a long time.
The root cause is that Cang Song originally had a secret in his heart that he couldn't say to anyone, and even this secret was related to the safety of the entire Qingyunmen, and his own plan for a hundred years... If he was doing things normally, Cangsong could still try his best to treat them with a normal heart, but this time things were quite strange. On the contrary, he couldn't make up his mind for a while, for fear that he would be careless and cause a catastrophe!
In the final analysis, he is not afraid that Tian Buyi will mess around, he will be afraid that Tian Buyi's move is actually more hidden. This is actually a test of his details!
Take a deep breath... Looking out from the half-open wooden window, the house has long been a splendid beauty of Xinghan, but unfortunately at this moment. Cangsong has no intention of appreciating it for a long time.
Not to mention anything else, just this sword-wielding elder who suddenly made a move this time was quite special. As one of the seven heads of the Qingyun Sect, and he specializes in punishment, he is also very familiar with the personnel of this sect, and since he became the head of Longshou Peak, he has never heard of any "sword elders". In other words, for more than 100 years, this position has never been established in Qingyunmen. The sword-wielding elder was as if he had suddenly burst out of a crack in the stone. Even the name "Mo Qianzhen" has never been heard of by Cangsong. At this time, I am afraid that the origin of this person is also very questionable.
What's more, the appointment of any elder needs to be personally approved by the head Dao Xuan, and if you think about it deeply, this sword-wielding elder Mo Qianzhen may not be a little bit of Dao Xuan's allocation to him. Although Cangsong is not a stupid person, he hasn't figured it out yet. What is the meaning of the other party's move?
But if you just blindly hide it and don't reveal it, it seems inappropriate, doesn't this mean that you have a ghost in your heart?
After thinking about it again, Cang Song clenched his fists. Finally a decision was made.
Since the other party's meaning was still unclear, he had to try the depth of this sword-wielding elder again!
βββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββ
On the night before the tragedy in Caomiao Village, when Puzhi passed on Zhang Xiaofan's formula, he clearly told him that when cultivating the truth and refining qi, it is necessary to cut off one's own connection with the outside world and realize one's own nature, that is, the so-called: the emptiness of all laws, neither birth nor destruction, no dirt or purity, no increase or decrease, so there is no color in the air, no desire to do knowledge, no eyes, ears, nose, tongue, body and mind, no color, sound, fragrance, taste, touch, no vision, and even no consciousness, no ignorance, no ignorance, no old age, no old death, no old age and no death, no suffering, no wisdom and no gain.
Zhang Xiaofan couldn't understand such a difficult and dry truth at this time, but the two cultivation methods were fundamentally different, but he could distinguish them, and his heart was in turmoil at the moment, and he didn't know what to do.
In fact, Zhang Xiaofan didn't know that Tai Chi Xuanqing Dao is certainly the supreme magic method of Taoism, but Pu Zhi made great wishes on him and placed great expectations on him, and the set of mantras he passed on was also the supreme Dharma of Buddhism - Dafa Prajna.
There are two Dafa, two completely different ways of practice, but we have to start from the roots.
Buddhism and Taoism have a long history, old and dead do not get along, and the art of cultivating truth also originated from its school of thought. Taking Taoism as an example, its main purpose lies in the word "Tao", the so-called: Tao gives birth to one, life to two, two to three, and three to all things. All things are negative yin and embrace yang, and the middle air is harmonious. (Note: The words are from the fifth chapter of the Tao Te Ching). Taoism originates from Taoist thought, and even the triple realm of Taiji Xuanqing Dao is also named after the Yuqing, Shangqing, and Taiqing of the Yuan Shi Tianzun, Lingbao Tianzun and Daode Tianzun in Taoist mythology, which is commonly known as the "Three Qings". Taoism cultivates the truth, pays attention to the breath of heaven and earth, the body is the same as nature, and the body is created by nature, and turned into great power.
On the other hand, Buddhism, the main theme is "things should have no place to live and give birth to their hearts, one qiΔ ten thousand laws, and not depart from their own nature". Youyun: What period is self-nature, and the nature is pure; When the period of self-nature, there is no birth and death; When the self-nature is self-sufficient; When the self-nature is not shaken; When the self-nature can give birth to ten thousand laws! (Note: The words of "The Altar Sutra? Buddhism cultivates the truth, pays attention to self-understanding, and sees the five aggregates, "can give birth to 84,000 wisdom with ordinary truth", which is the truth.
Buddhism and Taoism are very different in thought, and the practice of the Dharma is naturally in the opposite direction, but they have kept their secrets for thousands of years and are unknown. And at this moment, Zhang Xiaofan, a little disciple on the Great Bamboo Peak of Qingyunmen, was greatly troubled by this incident.
"Which one is right?"
Zhang Xiaofan jumped out of bed and walked back and forth in the room, only to feel that his brain was chaotic, cranky, and he didn't dare to ask anyone, so he had to sit on the edge of the bed in a daze. With a long sigh, I couldn't make a sound.
How could he, an honest boy, figure out these complex issues? Of course... Although he got the more mysterious Heavenly Book from Liuying, he still only knew its skin after all. Although he was barely able to cultivate two true techniques at the same time, and his entry into the realm was not slow, he naturally still didn't understand what he didn't understand.
Now. He suddenly wanted to go to the stream again... It was Sword Elder Mo Qianqian who talked about these problems that gave him a headache.
It's just that Zhang Xiaofan is not a smart person, he was born in a peasant family, he is young, and he has no insight and decision, he thinks about such a big thing, and he works in vain for a long time, but he still can't think of a reason, and he doesn't dare to disturb Mo Qianqian anymore - he has recently passed on another mastery, although it looks like a Buddhist practice. But it's different inside. His practice is also more boring, and his entry into the realm is extremely slow, he is afraid that if he bothers the sword elder again at this time, he will inevitably be scolded...
In the end, Zhang Xiaofan said to himself in his heart: "Forget it, anyway, that person didn't ask when he would practice, I will cultivate the three together, that is." "I didn't think much about it at the moment, but my heart was relaxed. Sit back on the bed and meditate. I went to practice Tai Chi Xuanqing Dao first.
It's just that it's easy for him to think, but it's a completely different situation to do. Tai Chi Xuanqing Dao refining qi, to open the seven pores of the whole body, to lead the heaven and earth aura into the body to run along the meridians, so as to exercise and stabilize the body's vitality and internal meridians; The Great Brahman, however, asks to enter the realm of silence and obscures the whole body's thoughts and actions. Take one's own body as a world, see one's own nature, and cultivate one's own nature with a deep heart. The two sets of methods were originally diametrically opposed, but they made Zhang Xiaofan miserable. Fortunately, with the help of the Book of Heaven. Finally, there was a breakthrough, and in the past three years, it has already achieved results - even faster than ordinary people, but Xiao Fan himself did not find out.
It's just that he has just become a small success when he practices Tai Chi Xuanqing Dao, the aperture of the whole body is beginning to open, and the aura enters the body, and then the Great Brahma Prajna has to close the aperture everywhere and enter the realm of silence, this is a contradiction, under the harmony of the Book of Heaven, Zhang Xiaofan has just improved, but as long as he runs the exercise that Liuying just taught him, the spiritual energy in his body is like a wild horse that is uncontrollable and difficult to operate.
A few days later, Tian Buyi also came to be interested, and took the exam for Zhang Xiaofan, but he didn't want to, because the day before yesterday, Zhang Xiaofan cultivated the "King Kong Immortal Body" excessively, and the pure qi in this body could not be operated, and the cultivation was not so before, at most there was only one layer of Yuqing.
Tian Buyi's eyes widened, staring at Zhang Xiaofan with an angry face, all the disciples next to him had sympathy, but they didn't dare to speak out, originally Song Daren wanted to say a few words for Zhang Xiaofan, but seeing that the junior brother he taught had practiced to such an extent, his face was dull, and he didn't dare to speak, as for Tian Ling'er, he was smiling and watching the jokes on the side.
Zhang Xiaofan's face was full of shame, kneeling in front of Tian Buyi, embarrassed, thinking that no matter how the master scolded, it should be. Unexpectedly, after waiting for a long time, the surrounding senior brothers didn't say a word, and even Tian Buyi didn't say a word, he felt strange in his heart, and secretly raised his eyes to look, but saw Tian Buyi's face full of anger, and he didn't know when he turned into a disappointed color, and he really responded to a sentence: Mourning is greater than heart death!
I saw Tian Buyi get up with his sleeves, shook his head, moved his short and fat body, didn't say anything, and walked towards the back hall. The disciples looked at each other, not knowing why.
Song Daren followed Tian Buyi for the longest time, vaguely knew what Tian Buyi was thinking, and guessed that the master was afraid that he would give up on this little junior brother. In the past three months, in addition to practicing his homework, Zhang Xiaofan has been busy in his spare time, he is helpful and honest, and everyone likes him very much. The mountain dwelling is lonely, that is, Tian Ling'er, who has always been arrogant, suddenly has a playmate who is similar to his age, even though he is often scolded on the surface, he is also a little happy in his heart.
Song Daren frowned, stepped forward to help Zhang Xiaofan, and said, "Little junior brother, the master is just angry for a while, so he doesn't care." As long as you practice diligently, sooner or later you will be recognized by his old man. β
Zhang Xiaofan was ashamed in his heart, nodded again and again, and worked harder and harder since then.
Naturally, he didn't know that his stupid and surprising appearance was in front of Mo Qianqian, but the latter couldn't help but chuckle a few times.
The sword elder naturally knew the reason, but he didn't break it, after all, the Vajra Immortal Body is still a practice that Liansheng himself comprehended, and it is different from ordinary Buddhist exercises, but the cultivation is even more difficult, if it weren't for the fact that Zhang Xiaofan will go through many hardships in the future, I'm afraid he wouldn't be so eager to let him practice this extremely difficult exercise... On the other hand, since the cultivation has begun, the similar regression of cultivation that he is experiencing now has long been expected by Mo Qianzhen, but since he still insisted on letting Zhang Xiaofan cultivate even though he knew that there would be such variables. Naturally, there is a solution for it.
ββCome to think of it, the elixirs that Xiaobai refined a few days ago have finally come in handy. Ha, with thousands of years of accumulation, it is naturally impossible to lack ingenious alchemy methods. It's just that he and Xiaobai didn't pay much attention to this aspect. It just so happened that Xiao San'er was quite talented in this area, so he asked Xiao San'er to refine a few things that Zhang Xiaofan urgently needed at the moment, and in a few days, he should be able to complete it. At that time, there will be no disadvantages of weakening the Gong Body, and I think that the cultivation speed of the Vajra Immortal Body should also be accelerated.
At this point, Zhang Xiaofan's matter can be regarded as over, and then he will focus on solving the change of Cangsong.
The reason why I care so much about this matter is because Zhang Xiaofan's life full of tragedy was originally the beginning of this. If he doesn't want Zhang Xiaofan to fall into the abyss of hatred and sorrow like in the original book, then it is urgent to change this matter... But as I have said before, due to various reasons, although Mo Qianqian is now extremely powerful, he cannot solve this matter by force. Counting the days, he felt that the other party should also make a move.
To put it more clearly, Cangsong has been an undercover agent for so many years, although he is indeed cautious. But it's time to sit still. After all, if Cangsong doesn't do anything so far, I'm afraid it will make others suspicious... Although no one else knew about the events of that day except for the disciples of Da Zhufeng, Qi Hao and Lin Jingyu. But Qingyunmen is just such a boundary, and the unit price is all from the immortal family, how can they hide the news?
The dragon slaying sword is indeed not ordinary, every night, because no one restricts it, it faintly emits the sound of a dragon's groan. Even the sword body emitted an emerald green cold light. In the past few days, almost everyone in Qingyunmen now knows that the Dragon Slaying Sword has been sealed in Dazhu Peak...
βββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββ
And almost at the same time, in Heyang City under Qingyun Mountain, it was a different scene.
The seven veins of Qingyunmen will be coming, and each of them is preparing to plan in the mountain gate. It was the time when he was busy, but he happened to hear about the dragon sword, and for a while, many people had the idea of watching the excitement.
But what about the mountain?
In Heyang City, it is quiet and peaceful, and there is no movement... Come to think of it, the affairs of the immortal family, how can they mortals interfere.
For them, as long as there are still old immortals living on the mountain, and the demons of the Demon Sect will not wreak havoc here, it is enough to live a peaceful and joyful life, so where can they take care of anything else?
It's just that there are not ordinary people in this Heyang City, and in the Tibetan Feng Zhai, there is still purple smoke and fragrant today... Strange to say, since three years ago, this fast, which almost never opens the door, has begun to burn incense every day, and the aroma spreads for miles, but it is not pungent to the mouth, plain, and almost inaudible.
Others don't know the reason, and they can't even figure out whether it is the fragrance of this Tibetan Feng Zhai, but Xiao Liu and Xiao San, who have lived in it for a long time, are very familiar.
"Sixth brother... You said, the man has only been back for three years, and then he went out again, and he didn't come back for a long time, and the fox owner was not in a hurry, but burned incense every day, and he was in a happy mood. β
That's very good-looking, so it's naturally a little third... In terms of cultivation, she is just a little fox demon who has only cultivated for two hundred years, and although her talent is not bad, she can only be regarded as blunt compared to Xiaobai or Liuying... Even, even Xiaoliu is not as good. But he has a lot of experience in alchemy, which is a talent that is even more rare than ordinary monks. In addition, although Xiaobai, the current fox owner on weekdays, is cold, she doesn't have any shelves, and she and Xiaoliu are also used to this rather "no big or small" talk.
"The fox master has his own thoughts."
In the end, in the end, he cultivated deeper and lived longer, Xiao Liu did not continue to say Xiao San'er's words, he kept a faint smile while practicing calligraphy. Xiao San'er can't figure out what he is thinking in his heart, since she was a child, she can't see through her brother-in-law, of course, this does not prevent her from worshiping Xiao Liu - except for Xiao Bai, Xiao San'er almost obeys him. At this moment, Xiao Liu didn't want to say more, so she naturally didn't ask anymore, but concentrated on refining the pill.
But it didn't take long for Xiao Liu to stand up first... This is really rare, the righteous brother learns words every day, and he always has to talk for several hours, even if he asks him, he only says that he hone his character.
But today, for some reason, he stopped early, although his expression remained the same, but there was a bit of urgency between his steps, which was really rare in the rare!
"Sixth brother... What's wrong? β
Xiao San'er also wanted to get up, but he waved his hand and motioned for San'er to sit obediently.
"You do it, don't go out, go report..."
He originally wanted to report to his aunt, but when the words came to his lips, he swallowed them back... According to my aunt's cultivation, since I have discovered the other party, there is absolutely no reason to be kept in the dark, I think it is because I already know the identity of the other party and I didn't go out to greet him. So Xiao Liu shook his head.
"You go to the third floor to accompany the fox master."
With that, he walked towards the outside of Zangfengzhai.
At this moment, outside Zang Fengzhai, a group of two middle-aged scribes were already standing in front of the door.
The man standing behind him had clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, and seemed to be just a young man, but his courage was really extraordinary, even if he was an ordinary person in a princely family, he did not have such a grandeur, but even so, he still followed the person in front of him with peace of mind.
But said that the first person, thin eyebrows and square face, eyebrows look elegant, but the eyes are blazing, the forehead is full, but in this elegance has its own momentum of not angry and mighty, wearing a Confucian robe, pinned to a piece of light purple jade pendant around the waist, exquisitely clear, faintly auspicious, at a glance you know that it is not ordinary.
PS: From this chapter onwards, I must talk about the old goods of Cangsong... Ahem, this character in this book will be very complex, even more complex than the original, so it must be talked about here.
Cangsong Daoren is a key character in the book. At the beginning of the novel, Cang Song appeared as a mysterious man in black, first injured Puzhi with the "seven-tailed centipede", and then hit him hard with the "Divine Sword and Thunder True Technique", causing the Puzhi lamp to dry up, which also indirectly changed the fate of Zhang Xiaofan and Lin Jingyu; In the battle between the demons and demons in Qingyun Mountain, Cangsong sneaked up the sect to lead the sect to the mountain, betrayed Qingyun, and uncovered a piece of the past in Qingyunmen, causing heavy losses in Qingyunmen; On the eve of the beast god's attack on the Central Plains, the poison god of the Ten Thousand Poison Gate passed away, and the Cangsong Dao people took refuge in the Ghost King Sect and offered a poison plan, and the Ghost King destroyed the Ten Thousand Poison Gate and the Hehuan Sect according to this plan. Cangsong Dao is strong in humanitarian law, the battle of Liubo Mountain, and the Megatron Demon Sect. It can be said that the changes in the fate of many characters in the book are related to Cangsong Daoren.
Cangsong Dao people have feelings for Qingyun Gate, and the reason why he betrayed Qingyun is because he is not used to seeing Dao Xuan Zhenren. Cang Song thought that the tragic death of his senior brother Wan Jianyi was caused by Dao Xuan, so he betrayed, and he always thought that Wan Jianyi was worthy of the position of head of the house, and he held a grudge against Dao Xuan (probably because he was dissatisfied with Dao Xuan's use of means to become the head, and he also killed Wan Jianyi). The hatred for Dao Xuan was not enough for him to defect, mainly because the punishment of Wan Jianyi by the top and bottom of Qingyun Sect made Cang Song's heart ache. Back then, after Wan Jianyi and Dao Xuan saw the head of Tianchengzi who went crazy with the Zhuxian Sword, Dao Xuan locked Tianchengzi, and Wan Jianyi was forced to kill Tianchengzi with a sword. (Whether it was because Wan Jianyi was found to kill the master was given death, the novel does not mention it, so it is unknown) but Dao Xuan secretly saved Wan Jianyi and hid in the ancestral hall. Cangsong didn't know about this, and Cangsong always thought that Dao Xuan killed his most beloved senior brother Wan Jianyi, so he held a grudge, so he secretly cultivated the evil sect spell, and tried to seize the "blood devouring bead" and colluded with the Ten Thousand Poison Gate, which led to the later battle between Qingyunmen and the Demon Sect. In the end, Cang Song destroyed the Heavenly Machine Lock and returned to Huqi Mountain, just as the Ghost King refined into the Four Spirits Blood Array, and was killed by the Ghost King in the Blood Array
In the book, Cangsong Daoren's feelings are delicate and complex. After betraying Qingyunmen, when he and Jin Zhu'er destroyed the Tianji Lock, he had a trace of guilt towards Qingyunmen (not Daoxuan). It should be said that he was under the same roof as Dao Xuan back then, but he didn't wear a pair of pants. Take care of his apprentices in every way and vigorously cultivate Lin Jingyu. and expressed disdain for Zhang Xiaofan, Lu Xueqi and others. He is a very personal and sharp character in the book. (To be continued......)
