Chapter 251: Jade True Temple
readx;? The dantian is completed, and the journey of Li Jingxuan and Sha Xuan naturally resumes. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 infoThe two of them walked on foot in the cold winter, perhaps because the stone in their hearts had been removed, but Li Jingxuan was in a good mood for a while, and even with the fact that he was going to go in winter, which made people feel painful, it was also interesting to watch.
Walking all the way, tasting all the way, there was nothing important left and right - or there was no big thing that Li Jingxuan felt had to be completed quickly, but Li Jingxuan and Sha Xuan were very busy. From Licheng to Hecheng, the journey of more than 800 miles should have been completed in ten days with their footsteps, but Li Jingxuan and Sha Xuan walked slowly for nearly half a month. The leisureliness of this road, they can simply be described as a tour of the mountains and rivers, although the cold winter, the desolation of the remnants of the mountains and rivers all the way, can not say what scenery there is.
walked like this, and on the twenty-eighth day of the Lunar New Year, Li Jingxuan and Sha Xuan finally arrived in Hecheng.
Hecheng is a small city, with a population of less than 100,000, and the appearance of the city is not comparable to that of Licheng. This is a city that is nominally under the control of Qingxuanzong, but in fact it is under the responsibility of Dingguangmen, which is subordinate to Qingxuanzong.
The Dingguang Sect, also known as the Dingguang Sword Sect, is a sect that makes swords. According to the information that Li Jingxuan learned from Licheng, this Dingguang Sect is a small sect that is quite low-key and does not recruit many disciples. There are thousands of people in its sect, and the strongest person in the sect is only a master who has just entered the Yuan, but it is nothing - in terms of the scale of the sect, this is a sect that belongs to the poor countryside.
Dingguang Sect rules the world, rules by inaction, and makes the people take care of themselves.
When Li Jingxuan entered Hecheng, what he felt was not the orderly door rules and order, but the secular style that came to his face. At present, there are only two days before Chinese New Year's Eve, and the taste of the New Year in the city is already very sufficient, but Li Jingxuan and Sha Xuan can't help but have a different idea.
"It's going to be the New Year!" Looking at the excitement on the street, Li Jingxuan's voice suddenly fell.
He remembered a lot, when he was an ordinary person before, the experience of making dumplings, eating rice cakes, watching the Spring Festival Gala, and setting off firecrackers as a family naturally needless to say, it was the deepest memory in his heart. And in the years after the soul was attached, except for the existence of a nightmare in the Spring Festival of the first year, although the following days were bitter and boring, there were still brothers and sisters around after all, and those days also had the taste of some years.
But now, it's time for the New Year again. This is the second year after the destruction of the sect, and he came to the Qing Netherworld Continent alone, working hard to restore his broken arm. The surrounding brothers and sisters are all gone, and the only one who accompanies him is Sha Xuan, who has signed a soul contract with him. It's a bit lonely to think about.
"Yes, it's going to be the New Year!" Unlike Li Jingxuan's low voice full of longing and loneliness, Sha Xuan's words were shocked and joyful.
Chinese New Year, this originally had no meaning for Sha Xuan. She is a kraken, so she doesn't care about this, but after accompanying Li Jingxuan in the human world for more than half a year, she is somewhat interested in the various customs in the human world. She knew what the New Year represented, and naturally she was very curious about the New Year.
Listening to the lightness in Sha Xuan's words, Li Jingxuan was slightly stunned at first, and then thought of something, and suddenly restrained the sadness in his heart. He smiled on his face and asked Sha Xuan kindly, "That...... Your first Chinese New Year?"
"Yes...... It turns out that in the sea, where is there to experience such an interesting festival. Sha Xuan nodded slightly, but his eyes were firmly fixed on a stall not far away.
It was a stall painting New Year's pictures, and the owner was an old man with white hair. He was an ordinary person, at least Li Jingxuan didn't feel any fluctuations in his cultivation from him. The streets of Hecheng are not big, and there are only a few main roads. The old man's stall was placed on the side of the street, but it attracted a crowd of onlookers.
Perhaps, this is because the old man has a good reputation. Li Jingxuan saw that there were more than a dozen people dragging their families and mouths, surrounding the stall, waiting for the old man to complete the works in his hands one by one. These works are not the work of monks, nor do they contain any vitality circles, they are just ordinary paintings, but everyone who gets them is very happy. Li Jingxuan knew that it was their psychological satisfaction.
Being able to be spiritually satisfied is enough for the average person.
Looking at the smiles on their faces, Sha Xuan was naturally attracted to them. She only felt that there was an inexplicable atmosphere surrounding her, which warmed her heart, and there was a vague taste of nostalgia.
Sha Xuan didn't know what this feeling was, but Li Jingxuan understood that this was the flavor of the New Year, which belonged to the secular world.
Looking at the curiosity and smile on Sha Xuan's face, Li Jingxuan gently pulled her sleeve and asked her in a low voice: "Since you are interested in this, then let's find a place to rest first, and then come shopping in the afternoon...... How?"
"It's okay!" Sha Xuan didn't have any opinion on this. She is not familiar with such things, so naturally it is all up to Li Jingxuan.
Things became so decided, Li Jingxuan took Sha Xuan to walk on the street, and when he saw the inn, he went to ask, but several inns in succession understood him: "I'm sorry, guest officer! The day after tomorrow is the Chinese New Year's Eve, and this inn also needs to take a good rest, but it will not accept visitors." ”
"What should I do?" Li Jingxuan was also a little dumbfounded, he couldn't have imagined that when the Chinese New Year was approaching, the inn would actually push the guests out: "Is there no place to live?
Li Jingxuan asked again and again, made some small money, and finally got a guide from a shopkeeper.
"Let's go to the Yuzhen Temple in the north of the city! it is the annex of the Dingguang Sect, and cultivators are also allowed to stay in Pingsuri. At this time, if you want to find a place to live, there is only that. The shopkeeper said.
"Oh!" Li Jingxuan was overjoyed when he heard this. At that moment, he thanked Xiao'er, pulled Sha Xuan north, and followed the direction of the shopkeeper's guidance to the door of Yuzhenguan.
Yuzhenguan is a huge building complex in Hecheng, although the appearance is simple, not as good as the carved buildings and pavilions of the big families in Licheng, but compared with the surrounding houses that do not even have a few brick houses, it is also quite gorgeous.
As an annex of the Dingguang Sect, the Jade True Temple is naturally guarded all the time, even if it is nearly thirty years old. When Li Jingxuan came over, he saw six Dao swordsmen standing at the gate of the Jade True Temple. They just stood casually, faintly exuding an inexplicable pressure.
Looking at the quaint gate behind them, and the three big characters of golden jade Zhenguan on the gate, Li Jingxuan didn't know that he had found the ground. At that moment, he stepped forward and was about to go to the view.
Whoever thought that he had just approached the gate on his side, he was stopped by two young Dao swordsmen over there: "Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable, this layman is polite." Now that it is the end of the year, this meditation does not accept the monk's unexpected lay orders, and asks the layman to forgive me. ”
The older of the two said politely and resolutely to Li Jingxuan. Although they are dressed as Taoist priests, they behave more like swordsmen than Taoists. Even if they tried their best to show a politeness, such politeness did not have any temperature in Li Jingxuan's eyes. Li Jingxuan could see that the six of them were all in the same realm, and they were all sharp.
"I'm also a cultivator!" Li Jingxuan said softly, mobilizing the vitality in his body and releasing the originally restrained aura a little, but it brought a lot of pressure to these people.
"Ahh At this moment, they all saw the strength of Li Jingxuan's strength.
"How could it be...... This kid isn't even afraid that he won't even be twenty, right?
"With such a majestic momentum, I'm afraid it has the pinnacle of the Qi Induction Realm. Could it be that he is also the legendary genius of the senior brothers......"
"What do you think is going on this year? In the past, we had an occasional monk or two here to place orders. Genius or anything, but I didn't see a single one. ”
"And this time, there were several at once. The first few already had the peak level of qi induction, and the grade of this pair was younger than them, but their strength was not much worse than them. Compared to them, we're so much worse. ”
Feeling the momentum emanating from Li Jingxuan's body, the faces of several Dao swordsmen couldn't help but change, but they respectfully introduced Li Jingxuan into the Jade True Temple. At that moment, a deacon and a guest stepped forward to lead Li Jingxuan to the main hall and gave him a warm reception. And the discussion about him and Sha Xuan also started after the two turned around.
Regarding these people's discussions, Li Jingxuan just smiled faintly, but he was indifferent.
Others say that he is a genius, but Li Jingxuan himself does not think so. He knew what level he was, so his mind was very light.
He just kept one of these words in mind: "...... Are there any other 'geniuses' in the Jade True Temple?"
Li Jingxuan thought about it, and was even more speechless.
He strolled behind the deacon and entered the main hall of the Yuzhen Temple, talked to the elders waiting in the hall, registered with the elders, and let the elders send someone to guide him to the backyard of the Taoist temple.
The backyard of Yuzhenguan is another criss-crossing courtyard wall, which is cut out of courtyards. These courtyards are large and small, and according to the words of those who know the guests in the Yuzhen Temple, they provide the corresponding level of courtyards according to the cultivation of the cultivators - if the cultivation is high, the courtyard that naturally lives in is relatively large, and the courtyard that is low can only live in a smaller one. This is caused by the difference in the strength of cultivators, and it is also a rule that is recognized in the cultivation world.
What Li Jingxuan and Sha Xuan showed was the strength of the peak of qi induction. This kind of strength is not the top among the monks, so naturally it is not too big a courtyard for them.
Dou Su III. This is the number plate handed over to Li Jingxuan by the acquaintance who received Li Jingxuan and his entourage.
The courtyard of the Yuzhen Temple is divided according to the direction of the stars in the Heavenly Region, and the courtyard where Li Jingxuan is located is the third of the courtyard group belonging to the Seven Houses of Xuanwu in the North.
It is a small courtyard that covers an area of about 20 zhang square. The courtyard is boxy, and there are three rows of houses on the side, wrapping the small courtyard. In the courtyard, there is a two-zhang square garden, which is planted with some ordinary flowers and plants and an ancient pine about four feet high and six feet thick. This ancient pine has a simple appearance and is full of vitality, but it adds a bit of inexplicable elegance to an ordinary courtyard.
"It's not bad!" Feeling the cleanliness around him, Li Jingxuan nodded lightly.
He really didn't have any dissatisfaction with Yu Zhenguan's arrangement.
So, Li Jingxuan and Sha Xuan found a room to settle down. After putting away the luggage, the two came out of their respective rooms and walked out again.
Li Jingxuan promised Sha Xuan to take her around the streets of the previous year, so that she could also bring back the taste of the New Year in the world. Now is the time for Li Jingxuan to fulfill the contract.
At that moment, the two of them went out of the gate, walked along the street, mingled in the lively places in the city, and tasted the snacks on the street stalls in the city, but they walked around and played, and strolled until dark.
When night fell and the crescent moon rose, Li Jingxuan and Sha Xuan returned to Yuzhenguan with large bags of things. Today, they bought a lot of shopping, and although more than 90 percent of them were useless "waste" and did not help their cultivation at all, they had a smile on their faces, but their hearts were full of satisfaction. It's a spiritual satisfaction, and it's a satisfaction that makes them very happy.
Returning to the small courtyard, the two of them were already a little tired, and Li Jingxuan was going to rest here. Suddenly, I heard a familiar sound from the courtyard next door.
It was a teenager's complaint, Li Jingxuan listened carefully, and felt that the sound was like a broken gong, full of metallic texture.
"Whose voice is this?" Li Jingxuan felt familiar, he waited intently to listen carefully, but he heard that the young man who said this was complaining to his senior brother.
"Senior brother...... Are you still going to follow him? That kid is a white-eyed wolf, and no matter how nice we are to him, he takes it for granted, and he won't take us to heart. In his opinion, those of us affiliated sects are like a layer of fallen leaves, and we deserve to be trampled under them forever. People say I'm not easy to get along with...... But in my opinion, that guy is the hardest guy to get along with. The young man with the broken gong voice complained resentfully: "Let's just say that right now, staying in this Jade True Temple, he used his father's token to go directly to Kangsu Er, which is where the monk of the Baoyuan Realm lives, and it was spacious enough, but he refused to let us stay and arranged us here." Even though staying here at our level wasn't a drop, it was a ...... feeling."
"There's no way around it...... Who makes us inferior to Him? A feminine voice rang out.
Li Jingxuan shuddered involuntarily when he heard this, and the appearance of a gloomy man suddenly appeared in his mind. At this moment, he finally remembered who the owner of these two words was: "Those people who were in the Bai family last time, I didn't expect to meet them here." ”
Li Jingxuan felt that this seemed to be a kind of fate. (To be continued.) )
