Chapter 1: Cangyun
The Cangyun Mountains stretch for hundreds of miles, with undulating peaks and peaks, as far as the eye can see.
There are majestic peaks magnificent, there are no powdered green peaks Lingxiu, the clouds surround the peaks, the clouds cover the fog, the ethereal and dangerous, do not know the face of the mountain.
Because it is majestic and precipitous, towering and vast, the mountains are straight into the sky, and there is the spirit of being surrounded by clouds, so it is named Cangyun Mountain Range.
Waterfall strange rock, rare and exotic beasts, ape crying tiger roar, Zhong Ling Qixiu, just like the ancient poem, Panasonic asked the boy, the teacher picked medicine, only in this mountain, the cloud is deep and does not know where.
The ancient pines in the mountain range are towering to the sky, the mountains are like a sea of clouds, such as the beauty of the world's independence, it is fascinating, and it is located in the Dongsheng Shenzhou, the Daomen gathers, there are immortal Taoist sects in the mountain range, this place is the dojo, there are anecdotes of seeking immortals to visit the Tao from time to time, so that this place is more and more unfathomable, ethereal and dusty.
Deep in the clouds, in the mountains, the bell of Qingyue on the peak of the Cangyun Sect Master rang leisurely, echoing between the peaks.
The night slowly faded, and the sky showed a hint of belly white.
The clear spring water tinkles, gurgling over the warm pebbles and splashing into the deep dark green pool.
Next to the stream is a tree-lined path, and the stone steps left over the years are sparsely covered with moss, sandwiched between the towering ancient trees.
A small and delicate building sits on the mountainside in the middle of ancient trees, the canopy of the trees covers most of the attic, revealing the corners of the tiles, and the small windows on the second floor are propped up, revealing the antique ornaments inside.
The wind was a little strong, blowing a roll of thread-bound ancient books on the table, the beaded curtains in the room swayed, and green smoke rose from the mouth of the golden beast on the corner shelf, filling the surroundings.
The person who fell asleep on the couch turned over slightly, his long loose hair was scattered, wrapped in the close-fitting white clothes on his body, and slowly opened his sleepy eyes in the distant and clear bell.
Slowly raising his hand, the back of his hand was on his eyes, Li Xuanyu lay quietly on the couch for a while, then slowly sat up, picked up the hairband next to the bed with one hand, stretched his neck, pulled a black hair to the back of his head, and tied it up. The slender eyebrows that were originally covered by long hair were suddenly revealed, and on the bridge of the straight and delicate nose, a pair of sleepy eyes gradually became bright.
Sitting on the couch, he put his feet into the boots on the side, and after putting on the boots, Li Xuanyu stood up, took off a cyan shirt from the pear wood hanger on the side, and put it on his body.
Gently straightened the placket embroidered with Liuyun, aligned the left and right plackets, and Li Xuanyu reached out and grabbed the belt on the pear flower hanger and tied it around his waist.
After dressing, Li Xuanyu stepped on the yellow wooden stairs to the downstairs, fiddling with a few sections of green bamboo in front of the stone wall in the corner, and soon the sound of gurgling water sounded in the bamboo tube.
After washing with a basin of water at will, Li Xuanyu came to a bronze mirror, faced the bronze mirror, coiled up his long hair, reached out to pick up a hairpin, and combed his long hair into a bun.
At this moment, a light footstep sounded outside the attic.
"Senior Brother Xuanyu. ”
This body voice is very crisp and immature, only slightly sharp, and it seems to be greeting outside before and after the teenager's voice changes.
"Aoba, it's so early again. ”
Li Xuanyu slowly pushed open the door, walked out of the attic, and closed the door again, only then turned to look at the clear-eyed and somewhat shy junior brother in front of him.
"Senior brother, the purple qi is about to come out, and the hour is almost up. This junior brother named Aoba smiled shyly, looked at Li Xuanyu cautiously, and found that the gaze on the other side was probing, and hurriedly dodged and said.
"Well, let's go. ”
Li Xuanyu nodded slightly, and a slightly old peachwood sword appeared under his wide sleeve robe, and walked with Aoba towards a towering mountain not far away.
There were many mountain streams and deep valleys along the way, and when they arrived at the place, there were already many people with the stars on their heads that had not yet dispersed, braving the wet and cold wind and dew, occupying positions in various places on the top of the mountain, either meditating or contemplating, and not speaking to each other.
Seeing this, Li Xuanyu was also silent, but when he passed by, he occasionally bowed slightly to one or two people, and after a short exchange, he walked straight towards a position on the top of the mountain, and Qingye behind him saw this and hurriedly followed behind.
Soon after, people came one after another, looking at a few figures on the top of the mountain, standing in a lower position quite unwillingly, and began to wait quietly.
Gradually, another bell rang leisurely in the distance, the morning light appeared, and a bright red light appeared in the distant sky.
At this time, a breath of qi began to slowly grow between the entire heaven and earth.
Purple gas is coming from the east!
At the turn of day and night, a stream of purple qi will be born, which will temporarily exist between heaven and earth, and will be born and extinguished.
And this purple qi is very precious to cultivators. After refining, it has the effect of subtly improving the root bones and clearing the eyes and mind, which is also very beneficial to one's own cultivation.
Many disciples in the mountains do not have enough elixir spiritual objects, and their cultivation progress is slow, and they will climb to the steep peak in the early hours of the morning, and try to absorb and absorb it into their bodies to refine it at the moment when the purple qi appears.
In the Cangyun Mountain Range, there are only a few purple qi that are bred every day, but there are many disciples who want to absorb purple qi when they climb the peak every day, so there are some wolves with more meat and less meat, and the competition is a little fierce.
Ordinary disciples only get a trace of luck, but many times, these disciples work tirelessly to climb the mountain every day, waiting hard, but often get nothing.
Today is the time for purple qi to come out again.
Li Xuanyu looked at the red sun gradually rising in the sky, and his slender fingers gently rubbed the peach wood sword in his hand, and the peach wood veins on the sword body would glow with a slight light with every rubbing.
While waiting, a purple qi slowly appeared at the turn of day and night.
"Purple Qi has appeared!"
Everyone shouted in their hearts, stared, opened their lips slightly, and their snorts began to become long, and suddenly they sucked sharply.
Invisible ripples rippled out.
Li Xuanyu looked at the purple qi that appeared in the sky, slowly closed his eyes, and his lips inhaled slightly against the purple qi.
Almost at the same time, this purple qi diverted countless times in an instant, falling into all parts of the mountain range, and more than a dozen of them also flew towards the peak where Li Xuanyu was.
Taking a deep breath, three of the dozen or so purple qi that flew in front of Li Xuanyu flew in front of him.
Li Xuanyu inhaled slightly, and the three purple qi penetrated into his nose one after another, and disappeared into his body.
The green leaves beside Li Xuanyu looked solemn, his fair little face was slightly red, and he also absorbed a purple qi.
At this time, the azure purple qi in the sky had already dissipated.
Most of the four or five people on the top of the mountain have absorbed purple qi, and a few people below have absorbed purple qi, but more disciples have come for nothing, and there are a total of more than a dozen purple qi, which is completely insufficient.
Slowly exhaling a breath of turbid air from his chest and abdomen, Li Xuanyu watched the people gathered on the mountain and began to leave, and also beckoned Aoba on the side to go down the mountain.
It's morning class soon.
............
Li Xuanyu is the real name of Wuxin.
At that time, Li Xuanyu, who was just a teenager, traveled all the way, experienced the prosperity of the Nanzhan Continent, and unconsciously came to Dongsheng Shenzhou, a place where the Taoist veins were prosperous, traveled to and fro, and finally settled down here.
In the dark, it seems that this is the life of the eyes, and it is also the choice of the wooden sword in Li Xuanyu's hand.
"Cangyun Sect. ”
Li Xuanyu raised his head, looked at the towering main peak, gently rubbed the peachwood sword in his hand, and hurriedly walked towards a quaint Taoist hall on the most majestic mountain peak nearby.
"The disciple has seen the master!"
A group of young people about fifteen or sixteen years old were all wearing Taoist buns, wearing various colored clothes embroidered with cloud patterns, and their slightly immature faces were solemnly saluting a middle-aged Taoist on the upper futon.
Li Xuanyu, who was dressed in a cloud-patterned green shirt, was at the forefront of these teenagers, with the peachwood sword that never left his waist at his waist, as if he was the head of all the disciples.
"Hmm. Sit down. ”
The hall is burning incense, curling white smoke from the mouth of the beast on both sides keeps coming out, the whole hall is full of smoke, the Taoist is not slow to talk about the schoolwork, such as the words of gold and jade, all the disciples below are kneeling on the ground, sitting on the front, listening carefully to the Taoist teaching, as if intoxicated.
After a long time, the Daoist slowly relented, and the morning class ended, and all the disciples retired one by one.
"Xuanyu, Hao'er, and Finch, you can stay for a while. The Taoist in the hall suddenly whispered.
Li Xuanyu, who was about to leave, paused slightly, his eyes met another gaze not far away, and after the four eyes intersected for a short time, they each sat back in their original places.
"I just got the news that two True Transmission disciples from the inner gate were killed when they went out on a mission. "The Taoist has always spoken calmly, even when he mentions two lives, he is not shocked.
"Half a month later, it will be the annual big competition, and the top two people in this year's big competition will be included in the inner door and become inner disciples. ”
"Among our disciples of Kuzhu Peak, there is only some hope for the three of you. This half a month, let's get ready to prepare. ”
Hearing the news, the three people who stayed in the hall had different reactions, Li Xuanyu raised his eyebrows, sat upright, and remained silent.
A handsome young man on the side, his face was like a knife, with clear contours, he was dressed in blue, his body was straight, like a sharp sword out of the sheath, and his eyes inadvertently revealed a fierce light, second only to Li Xuanyu among the disciples of Kuzhu Peak, named Qi Hao.
After Qi Hao heard the news, there was a trace of excitement in his eyes, and the fists in his wide sleeves were clenched together, eager to try.
And in the distance, far away, there was a slender figure kneeling, with a waist like a restraint, a slender neck, fair skin, and a pair of dark eyes that were blazing, named Woodfinch.
Lin Que is also the best among the disciples of Kuzhu Peak, and his cultivation is second to Li Xuanyu and Qi Hao, ranking third.
As a woman, her reserved attitude did not make the woodbird lose her temper, but her eyes also flickered, and she was obviously moved.
"Those who cultivate the Tao have no advance or retreat. ”
The middle-aged Taoist still looked slow and reasonable, his face was expressionless, and he said unhurriedly: "The resources in the gate have been insufficient in recent years, and the elixir collected this year is only enough for one furnace to build the foundation pill, and all of them will be supplied to the inner gate first." You can see what you do. ”
