Lu Xuanxuan put Xiao Qi on the bed, and then pulled a stool over and sat down. Xiao Qi held back the pain in his meridian muscles and rolled his eyes to look around to distract himself.

The residence of Xiayinmen is very simple, in addition to a bed and a table, there is only one "Dao" word, hanging on the opposite side of the bed, the first scene that I see when I open my eyes every morning, is the handwriting of this dragon flying and phoenix dancing.

Thanks to Lu Xuanxuan's blessing, Luo Jiansheng sent two servants to serve Xiao Qi and take care of his food, clothing and daily life like a paralyzed person. Lu Xuanqiu had another place to live, but he seemed to be bored alone, so he sent the little maid away and stayed here, feasting on some of the food that the little servant brought to Xiao Qi to fill his stomach.

Xiao Qi looked at it coldly and said, "It seems that your master doesn't welcome you very much. ”

"Yes, it's not this time, I didn't treat me much many years ago, my master said that I was uninhibited by nature, unbridled and debauched, and my Taoist heart was not strong, not suitable for cultivating the Tao and seeking truth, and I was not punished by my master since I was a child. I don't understand it anymore, but practicing the Tao of Internal Strength is just a matter of concentrating one's mind and strengthening one's body, so what does it have to do with cultivating the truth and seeking the Dao? What the Master and his old man are talking about, I still don't understand, I have been practicing the Tao of Internal Strength for so many years, is it just to be locked up in the mountains all day long, and even to be so particular about speaking?"

Xiao Chu stared at the word "Dao" on the other side of the bed, and said thoughtfully: "No wonder I only feel that this place is located on the top of the mountain, and the fairy aura is permeated, as if I was born." Seeing that the disciples of this Xiayin sect are all pure-hearted and have few desires, and this vegetable is also bland and tasteless, it seems that cultivating immortals and seeking the Tao is the purpose of Xiayin's establishment. It's just that these hermits who seek immortals and go to the Tao actually practice the Tao of Internal Strength?"

"I remember Master said that the Inner Strength Dao refines the aura of heaven and earth, so that heaven and man can reach a special balance, and only by entering heaven and earth in the flesh, transcending the world, and viewing the living life from the outside of the big world, is the right path to cultivation. Internal strength is not an end, but a means. Lu Xuanxuan rolled his eyelids as if he was trying to remember.

"It's weird that this kind of thing comes out of your mouth. Xiao Chu shook his head and said.

Lu Xuanxuan shrugged his shoulders and said, "I memorized these words for a long time, and I barely remembered them after a lot of slaps, but now that I open my mouth, I will naturally spit it out." ”

"Then you were finally kicked out by the division?"

"Not really. But I really couldn't fit into the rules and regulations here, and I was bored and panicked, and I was brought out every once in a while to teach a lesson, thanks to the senior brother who persuaded the master, and the master was short-sighted, I was not kicked out. I can also see that my fellow disciples also see that I am not pleasing to the eye in this way, after the death of the master immortal, the second senior brother became the head of the house, so he gave me an idle job, and I was also happy to do so, and I have not come back for decades. Unexpectedly, after coming back, even the senior brother in charge was gone. Lu Xuanxuan shrugged his shoulders again, as if lamenting the impermanence of the world, but his face was meaningless, as always, and his nerves were big.

Xiao Qi was silent. This place is far away from the world, and people do not have the worldly frivolity in their hearts, so they can always calm down and toss some things that are not there. He has also seen the complexity of the rules here, and it is more complicated than in the Chengji Palace. Before, they were in the Xiayin Ancient Temple, and it took half an hour just to put incense on the ancestors and light the incense. Then led by the head of Luo Jiansheng, the disciples of each generation lined up in turn, and the incense was divided into generations, and between the disciples of each generation, they valued the difference between generations and the inferiority, and Xiao Qi was big. It's no wonder that Lu Xuanxuan didn't wait for them, and rushed to the ancient ancestral hall first, he just burned incense and kowtowed twice, and it took only a moment, and then he only watched Luo Jiansheng with a helpless face to preside over this complicated ceremony, although he looked at a lot of white eyes, he didn't have to participate in it and be tossed. Xiao Qi couldn't help but understand Lu Xuanxuan's temperament, and it was really rare to endure these rules.

"On the first day you returned, you forced your way into the gate of Kongxia Mountain, broke into the ancient ancestral hall of the ancestor, and broke the rules here. If it were me, I wouldn't have received you so politely. ”

Lu Xuanxuan snorted: "This is the most ironic part. They can't tolerate me because I don't follow the rules and bad manners, but they don't want to break this kind of relationship between uncle and nephew that they value very much, so they have no choice but to entertain me, an old fellow, and greet you by the way. ”

Xiao Qi thought of something, frowned, and asked, "Since you are so unpopular, will they still help me heal?" He couldn't move for a few days, he was really uncomfortable, and he was quite interested in the method Lu Xuanxuan said.

"I didn't expect these stunned greens, their hair didn't grow. Lu Xuanxuan pulled the last bite of the vegetable into his mouth, and said vaguely, "Speaking of this, I'll take you to meet someone." ”

Then he stood up, and was about to pick up Xiao Qi without saying a word, when suddenly someone knocked on the door, and a disciple stood respectfully by the door, bowing his hands, his upper body almost parallel to the ground.

The head specially prepared a dinner party to pick up the wind and wash the dust for the uncle, and invited the uncle to move to the front hall. ”

Lu Xuan was stunned for a moment, showing a look of embarrassment, looked at Xiao Chu and said: "But this friend of mine is seriously injured and can't move at all, how can I be embarrassed to leave him alone to eat and drink spicy food? Even the incense makes people's heads big, and on the dining table, I'm afraid Lu Xuanxuan is even more unaccustomed to it.

"Uncle Shi's friend, naturally someone will come to serve his food. ”

"Eh, don't bother others with this kind of thing, he said that he didn't eat enough of those things just now, so I will personally take him to find some food!" Lu Xuanxuan directly put Xiao Xuan on his back, waved his big hand, and didn't give that disciple a chance to say more, and went out directly, leaving only that disciple to shake his head.

Xiao Chu let others pull and pull, and asked helplessly: "Where are you going to find food again?"

"Phew, it's important to get down to business, what else are you looking for to eat? Do you think I'm comfortable carrying you on my back all day?" Lu Xuanxuan scolded.

The location of the Xiayin Gate, built like a huge manor, is located on the peak of Kongxia Mountain, the main hall Luoxia Pavilion, the monastery and the residence of the disciples Yinfeng Hall are the three largest buildings in the manor, and the stones are paved between the buildings embedded in the ground, forming a road that extends in all directions, leading to all parts of the mountain.

But Lu Xuanxuan didn't take the usual path, his feet were lightly on the ground, and he jumped straight over the woods in the mountains, walking straight through the mountains, looking at the paved roads and stairs as if they were nothing. Xiao Xuan didn't bother to ask where to go here, anyway, Lu Xuanxuan always did what he wanted, and went wherever he wanted.

Turning over the hill in front of you, you will be greeted by a yellow-white wall three stories high, with arches embedded in the wall, and a plaque on the door that reads "Monastery". Behind this wall, there is a huge domed building, with a gray and white curved roof, surrounded by yellow-white walls and attached to the curved surface, which at first glance looks like a box holding a huge egg, and only a small half of the egg is exposed.

This is where the disciples of the Xiayin Sect practice their homework. This kind of architecture has never been seen before, and I admired it silently for a moment. Lu Xuanxuan walked non-stop, straight through the arch under the three words of the monastery.

As soon as he entered the door, some disciples eagerly surrounded him. The people here may not have heard the news that a master uncle suddenly returned, but if Lu Xuanxuan was a thief who broke into the door, he would do it without saying a word.

Xiao Chu originally thought that Lu Xuanxuan was going to show his might again, easily repelling these young disciples and then breaking straight in. But he was uncharacteristically low-key, looking at the rising internal force light of the disciples in front of him, and he didn't move.

"Senior brother, Xuan Xuan is visiting!" Lu Xuanxuan's voice was not loud, but it slowly spread out through internal force, echoing in the empty space.

The disciples didn't know why, so they were about to step forward to fight, when suddenly a voice sounded, as if coming from all directions, responding to the landing Xuanxuan, low as a bell.

"Let him come. ”

Although the disciples here were puzzled, they did not hesitate to retreat, making way for a passage from the door to the interior. Only then did Lu Xuanxuan take a step and walked inside. There are only lights on the surrounding walls, but the walls are far away from each other, and the boundaries of the surrounding areas below can be illuminated, but they can't illuminate the middle situation, nor can they illuminate the huge arc top, which is still black and mushy in Xiao Chu's opinion. Although the voice has a majestic internal force, it has been enduring for a long time, and it reverberates through the empty space, making people feel as if it is coming from all directions, but Xiao Chu firmly believes that the source of that voice is the top of the arc above.

Lu Xuanxuan did look up and said with a smile: "Senior brother, I haven't seen you for a long time." ”

"You come up. The deep old voice sounded again.

Lu Xuanxuan nodded and jumped lightly, while the red light around him shone brightly, illuminating the space at the top of the entire arc.

A wooden beam spans the top of the arc and connects to the wall. The beams were no more than a foot wide, and when viewed from the bottom, the perfect circle was divided into two halves. A thin, withered old man sat in the middle of a wooden beam, directly below the center of the arc.
