Chapter 3: Inner Disciples
Minami Kawa stopped. The old man said they had arrived.
They walked for a long time, into the mountains, all the way up. This is a snow-capped mountain, the top of the mountain is covered with snow all year round, and they walked for about two days, and the next day, Nanlinchuan stepped on the snow. Dressed in single clothes, but not cold.
There are several dilapidated houses in front of Nanlinchuan, which look to be some years old, with mottled earthen walls and dilapidated pillars for support. Nan Linchuan remembered his home, and it was a little inappropriate to say this, it should be his own home. Grandpa's house was also so dilapidated, hot and humid in the summer, with mosquitoes and rain leaks. But Nan Linchuan likes it very much, as long as there is a grandfather, as long as there is a grandfather's cough, there is a grandfather's tobacco smell, he will be at ease.
So at the moment, he's happy. He walked briskly past the old man, and with a very normal childlike curiosity, he caressed and observed the houses. In front of the door of the house in the center, he looked up and saw a plaque.
"Snow Moon. It reads.
He looked back at the old man, his inquiring eyes flickering.
"This is our home. The old man smiled and walked over to him. β
Hearing the word home, Nan Linchuan's face was filled with irrepressible joy.
"Our home. Our home. Our home. Our home. Nan Linchuan kept chattering. He looked around, the dilapidated but intimate environment. Unconsciously he ran up and ran around several houses.
After a few trips, Nan Linchuan felt tired, but he was still very happy and followed the old man into the house.
"Grandpa Xue, where do I live?" Nan Linchuan was a little impatient.
Xue Lao couldn't help laughing when he looked at the excited little boy in front of him, and he pointed to a small room in the east. "Don't worry, you live there, go and change into the clothes I bought for you, after a few days of walking, the clothes should be dirty. As he spoke, he handed him the clothes he bought for Nan Linchuan on the way to the future and motioned for him to change them.
When Nanlinchuan entered the house, the expression on Xue Lao's face became strange, he walked out of the door, stood at the door, and looked up at the sky. If Nan Linchuan saw it at this time, he would find that he was already full of sadness. That expression is not much worse than despair. It's just that in the depths of his eyes, there are still a few stars flashing.
"It's been a hundred years...... Perhaps, he is the last hope......"
In a flash, it's four years.
Nan Linchuan walked quickly into Xue Lao's room and saluted. "Grandpa Xue, are you looking for me?"
Xue Lao was lying on the bed, leaning on the folded quilt, looking at Nan Linchuan's eyes full of love. At this time, Xue Lao was already showing his old age, and he rarely moved, only occasionally pointing out the cultivation of Nanlinchuan. Four years ago, Xue Lao enlightened Nanlinchuan, and Nanlinchuan began the road of cultivation. Nan Linchuan cultivated very quickly and was very talented, but after a year of kung fu, he broke through the foundation and stepped into the pure body, and now he is sprinting towards the Qi Gathering Realm. Xue Lao didn't give too many instructions, but just taught him the appropriate exercises of the Xueyue Gate, and he explored it by himself. As early as when Nanlinchuan was discovered, Xue Lao found that Nanlinchuan had a hazy snow physique. People with such a physique are naturally not afraid of severe cold, and they have a very high degree of compatibility with cold exercises.
I think that back then, the founding ancestor of the Snow Moon Sect had this kind of physique, so the exercises created by him could be mastered by people who were also Hazy Snow physique without too much research. In the past four years, Xue Lao has taught all the introductory exercises of Xueyuemen to Nanlinchuan, not so much to teach as to give. What Xue Lao did was to hand over the classics that recorded the exercises to him, and the rest was all up to Nan Linchuan to comprehend by himself. In less than a year, Nan Linchuan mastered these exercises, and for the remaining three years, Nan Linchuan has been practicing these exercises repeatedly, in order to lay a good foundation for the future.
"Chuan'er, come, come closer. Xue Lao smiled on his face and beckoned him to come over.
Minami Linchuan approached obediently and sat on the bed.
"From the beginning of my cultivation, you asked me what kind of exercises I practiced, and what the word Xueyue on the door meant. Before, I was afraid that you were too young to accept it, but now that you are more than twelve, it is time to tell you. "Snow old road.
"Really, Grandpa Xue, are you really willing to tell me this?" Nan Linchuan sat up straight. Since the beginning of his cultivation, Nanlinchuan has had a lot of questions. What does the Pure Body Realm and Qi Gathering Realm mean, what kind of exercises does he practice, why doesn't Grandpa Xue let him go down the mountain, and why does Grandpa Xue say every day not to show the exercises he has learned to outsiders...... He had so much to ask and couldn't wait to know them all.
Xue Lao smiled and said, "Then let's start with the basics." β
"The so-called cultivation is to use the spiritual power of heaven and earth for one's own use, and to collect the spiritual power of heaven and earth in the body, so as to achieve the purpose of freely using spiritual power. According to the different levels of spiritual power in the body, cultivation is also divided into different realms. First of all, there are the three realms of human yuan: building a foundation, purifying the body, and gathering qi; then there are the three realms of earth and spirit: concentrating the spirit, opening up the wasteland, and entering the respect; and then there is the three orders of the heavenly xuan, which includes the spiritual xuan, the immortal xuan, and the heavenly xuan, and then the transcendent realm of the heavenly sanctification. β
"Now that I'm in the realm of pure body, have I reached the realm of purification? After all, after four years of cultivation, Nan Linchuan also faintly has a sense of his own realm.
"Exactly. Xue Lao continued, "Among them, there are three realms of human yuan, each realm is divided into nine levels, and now you are probably around the eighth level of pure body. And the three realms of the earth and the spirit have the distinction of the great consummation before, during and after. When it comes to the third order of Tianxuan, there is a difference between upper, middle and lower grades. The realm after Tianxuan is not something that you and I can judge in vain. β
Nan Linchuan nodded thoughtfully, one day, I must break through the realm of Tianxuan. Thinking like this, Nan Linchuan's eyes became more and more determined.
Observing the change in Nan Linchuan's eyes, Xue Lao smiled slightly and said, "The mountain forest where we are now located is located at the junction of Anqing and Laiyi. And thousands of countries, including Anqing and Laiyi, are located on the mainland of Mingzhou. On the Mingzhou continent, there are large and small countries and forces, and among them, there are four major sects. The heads of these four major sects have all reached the Tianxuan realm. These sects have a profound background and unfathomable strength, and the country where they are located is also growing stronger and stronger, dominating one side. β
"The disciple has been taught. Nan Linchuan said respectfully. Xue Lao stroked his beard with a smile, but his face became solemn, he thought about it, as if he had made up his mind, his voice trembled slightly.
"Have you ever heard of the Snow Moon Gate?" asked Xue Lao.
"No, I didn't. Nan Linchuan replied seriously.
"That's fine. Xue Lao sighed, "As I said just now, there are four major sects on the Mingzhou Continent: Wuwei, Blood Shadow, Xunchao, and Lotus Fall. Did you ever know that hundreds of years ago, there was a fifth great sect?"
"Is it Xueyue?" Nan Linchuan seemed to understand.
"Not bad. Speaking of this, Xue Lao's expression was painful, "In the past, the Xueyue Sect had thousands of disciples, strong strength, and a good reputation. However......... Three hundred and sixty-two years ago...... Blood Shadow and Wu Wei suddenly joined forces to attack Xueyue! The actions of the two major sects were caught off guard, although the Xueyue Sect had a profound background, it was difficult to resist the attack of the two major sects......"
Elder Xue sighed, and his eyes were finally red: "In the end, the Xueyue Mountain Gate was broken, and the Xueyue Gate Master at that time, Xue Hao's predecessors, led the remaining Xueyue disciples to hide in the mountains, and united with the elders of the sect to lay down the Hidden Enchantment Mirror Flower and Water Moon with the Snow Moon High, and never came back......... Gradually, apart from the people in the cultivation world, there was such a sect, and the Snow Moon Sect had long been forgotten among the world......"
"Why are they like this?" Nan Linchuan was also very surprised.
Xue Lao was speechless, turned over and got out of bed, and took out a slender box from under the bed.
The box was supposed to be a sword box, and Nan Linchuan faintly sensed that there was a powerful seal on it. I saw Xue Lao's hands sealed, the box slightly emitted blue light, the seal was lifted, and a crystal gorgeous long sword appeared in front of Nan Linchuan.
The sword is blue-white, slightly transparent and very good-looking, the sword body is carved with magnificent patterns, the tip of the sword is glowing with cold light, and the hilt and the sword body are like one, which is natural. Nan Linchuan could feel the power of this swordβit was absolutely extraordinary.
"For it. Xue Lao sighed. "This is the treasure of my town, the peerless sword - Snow Slash"
"This sword is a famous sword that has been handed down from Xueyuemen for thousands of years, and for thousands of years, no one has been able to figure out the material of this sword, and there is no record of the origin of this sword. I only know that this sword has a very high spirituality, and I never easily recognize the master. According to the Xueyue classics, so far, there are only three people who can control this sword, and all three of them have become the masters of the Xueyue Sect, and made the Xueyue Sect overpower the other four major sects at that time and become the head of the five sects. Xue Lao said slowly.
It is precisely because of the existence of this sword that the four sects are full of jealousy towards Xueyue, which also makes the relationship between Xueyue and the four sects have never been particularly good. Such peerless divine weapons appeared in his snow moon, and I don't know if it was a blessing or a curse. Perhaps it was precisely because of the fear that Xue Yue would threaten the Four Sects with this sword, that Wu Wei and Blood Shadow would join forces to attack Xue Yue.
"According to legend, this sword has a matching peerless swordsmanship, only those who have been recognized by this sword can learn, quite a few years, the three ancestors, is by virtue of this swordsmanship, the world's fame. β
"Back then, Xuehao's predecessors made a rule that in the future, Xueyuemen can only recruit one disciple, and all the rest, those with different talents can enjoy the treatment of inner disciples, but they are always listed disciples. This is to always remind us to keep a low profile, and to help us keep as much fire as possible when the catastrophe comes. The more Xue Lao spoke, the more excited he became, his voice suddenly raised, and tears came out of his eyes.
"Xueyuemen's listed disciple Nanlinchuan listens to the order, today, I, Xuemantian, in the name of the head of the sect, appoint you as a disciple of Xueyuemen's inner sect!
When Nan Linchuan heard this, his face changed drastically, he took a deep breath, knelt down tremblingly, and respectfully bowed to his teacher. "The disciple is willing. β
This worship, life and death will not change.
