On the 6th of June, all the Taoist temples and Taoist envoys met Zhang Qinglu in the main hall of Zixiao Palace, and then began the nine-day fast in each hall. In the east side hall alone, there were more than 100 foundation building monks at the level of the county guard, fasting solemnly and nervously, so that everyone did not notice that there was one less master who should have been here.
After Cheng Jun worshipped in the main hall, he was taken to the apse of Zixiao Palace. Qin Yue and the real person in charge of etiquette in Zixiao Palace gave him a lecture on his duties and the ritual process of the Zixiao Palace ceremony, and then there were endless rehearsals.
Cheng Jun couldn't understand that as a foundation builder, he was just doing a few actions in a ceremony, what was there to rehearse? But this is not a problem, the question is how important this ceremony is. Because it's so important, you have to keep going through the form, and make it very serious every time. In the end, Cheng Jun actually had a long-lost feeling - he was tired.
This is really strange, and he didn't let him fight with people to the death, nor did he let him put seven or eight hundred ** techniques a day, but he was just tired, and he wanted to fall asleep after every rehearsal.
After three consecutive days, the Qing Mu Elder who was in charge of the etiquette was also more satisfied, and said, "Okay, let's rest tomorrow, and then start the formal rehearsal." ”
Cheng Jun felt as if he had been beaten with a stick, and said, "What, isn't it an official rehearsal now?"
Elder Qing Mu frowned and said, "Have you seen the other people from the Douxing Shifting Sea and the Xiling Sword Sect?" the three have not converged, how can it be said that it is an official rehearsal?" he then frowned and complained, "Now that the time is so tight, there shouldn't be a rest in the first place. However, the Xiling Sword Sect, the messenger of the Douxing Moving Sea, temporarily withdrew the envoy sent back and wanted to replace him on the spot. How can this kind of thing be changed if it is exchanged? His Xiling Sword Sect is now also arrogant and rude to this point. ”
Cheng Jun's heart moved, and he said, "Who is that disciple of the Xiling Sword Sect? I'm afraid there is something wrong." ”
Elder Qing Mu said: "Qi Hai, is this the name, aren't you? Shouldn't you know better than me? You Jiuyan Mountain and Xiling Sword Sect had a dispute, and you actually did it in the palace. Now it's all going on outside, and I'm the only one here. ”
Cheng Jun naturally knew that Bai Shaoqing had made Qi Hai so evil, and this matter must not be resigned, and he wanted to ask what the result was, but Elder Qing Mu left directly. Let Dao Tong take him back to rest.
Early the next morning, when Cheng Jun came to the main hall again, there were already two people meditating and waiting.
These two people are both fresh faces, although Cheng Jun has never seen them, it is easy to guess their identities - Douxing Moves the Sea, Xiling Sword Sect.
The person on the left was a young man in white, dressed very similarly to Qi Hai, presumably a disciple of the Xiling Sword Sect. is tall and thin, and his cheeks are sunken because he is too thin, judging from his appearance, he is actually not as good as Qi Hai. The cultivation is similar to him, and it is also in the later stage of foundation building. But Cheng Jun can easily see that this person is introverted and calm, no matter how he cultivates, at least he is far better than the previous one in terms of quality.
The other one is naturally the one who moves the stars and the sea. No matter how high the cultivation of the people who move the stars and the sea, they all look like young women, and this one is no exception. However, Miao Ling is Miao Ling, but people are not necessarily beautiful. Although the woman wore a hat, her veil was turned up, revealing a round face, her facial features were at most middle-looking, her figure was slightly bloated, her clothes seemed to be tightened, and there was little merit except for fair skin. But the cultivation around her body is extremely good, although it is the late stage of foundation building, there is a faint feeling of the peak of foundation building.
This woman is naturally not the Lin Yanqing he saw in Chengtianguan before, so he said that Douxing Yihai has also changed, or that Lin Yanqing is not a messenger in the first place, this one is the envoy. Now the two people in this hall, if you talk about appearance, you are one level lower than the two in the Chengtian Temple, but if you talk about talents, they are far surpassing.
The two of them were originally meditating, but when Cheng Jun came in, they immediately woke up. The two of them each raised their eyes to watch, and when they saw that it was Cheng Jun, they both stood up and signaled, no matter what their expressions were, there was no rudeness in their behavior. The woman who moved the stars and moved the sea was even more enthusiastic, stepped forward to salute, and said, "Yingyue, the third-generation Xuanji star official of the Douxing Moving Sea, has seen this junior brother of Jiuyan Mountain. ”
The disciple of the Xiling Sword Sect stood in place, nodded slightly, and said, "The Xiling Sword Sect Flying Illusion Sword Tang Shichu." ”
Cheng Jun was stunned, he could understand that Ying Yue reported his star official name, just like Qin Yue said that he was Tianji Pavilion, representing his own professional identity, what does this Tang Shichu report the Flying Phantom Sword mean? Could it be his own nickname? Even if he is a person from the rivers and lakes, he has not reported that his family is "I am the Iron Fist Heavenly King Li Invincible" or something like that.
However, this may also be the rule of the Xiling Sword Sect, Cheng Jun is far less familiar with this Sword Sect than Jiuyan Mountain, and he smiled slightly and said, "Guard Cheng Jun in the Sword Pavilion of Lower Jiuyan Mountain." ”
Hearing only a sound from Cangchang, Tang Shichu pressed on the hilt of his sword, and the sword body jumped out half a foot, fortunately, he was still sensible, and he didn't pull out all the swords, just stared at Cheng Jun's face, his eyes were calm, and he stabbed Cheng Jun directly.
Not to mention that his eyes shot over, even if he gouged out his eyeballs and threw them at Cheng Jun, Cheng Jun couldn't have been touched, and he didn't have to look at him with his eyes wide, he just swept over flatly, and thought a little in his heart: What is this person crazy about? Since this woman who is fighting stars and moving the sea can guess that I am the representative of Jiuyan Mountain, he naturally will not know that he is so excited, it must not be because of Jiuyan Mountain. Of course, it won't be because they recognize me, it's probably because of the guards of the Sword Pavilion.
Yes. Cheng Jun's heart moved, and he already understood that the position of his Xiling Sword Sect planning the Sword Pavilion would naturally not be one or two, and it might not be concentrated on one or two people. That Qi Hai caused a lot of trouble, presumably because he lost the hope of entering the Sword Pavilion, and the Xiling Sword Sect changed someone, still wanting the position of the guardian of the Sword Pavilion. He reported that his family was the guard of the Sword Pavilion, and of course he was furious.
In fact, Cheng Jun himself is not proud of the Sword Pavilion guard, it can only be said that it is a coincidence, but since he is here, he has taken over the responsibility of holding the seal, and he also said that he is not the Sword Pavilion guard, which is inevitably contrived. And since he has made a decision, he is naturally not afraid of things. Someone objected, and he just made a move, and he followed.
It's one thing for him to look at something or not, but since it's already in his hand, it's another thing for someone to grab it.
Cheng Jun glanced at Tang Shichu, he didn't have to stare for a long time, he only showed his meaning at a glance - if he was not satisfied, he would come up. At this time, if Bai Shaoqing is here, he may find that Cheng Jun's provocative eyes are no worse than him.
At this time, Ying Yue stepped forward with a smile and stopped between the two. This position was originally quite sensitive, and it happened to be inserted between the two of them, cutting off the connection between the two sides, and they could attack and retreat and defend, but Zixiao Palace had its own constraints, and the three of them couldn't use spells, and this key point was just symbolic. She smiled and said, "Cheng Daoyou turned out to be the Sword Pavilion, and he has really admired him for a long time. I heard that the Sword Pavilion in Jiuyan Mountain has been vacant for several years, but I didn't expect that a new caretaker had been elected. It's really gratifying. However, since we are the new guards, our three holy lands are in the same breath, why don't we send someone to inform them? This is too outward. I don't care, I'm going to make up for this congratulatory drink. ”
Tang Shichu was silent for a while, and suddenly said, "Have you ever entered the Sword Pavilion?"
Cheng Jun smiled lightly: "Not yet." ”
Tang Shichu said coldly: "I haven't entered the Sword Pavilion, how dare I say that I am the caretaker of the Sword Pavilion? I don't believe it, I haven't stepped into the Sword Pavilion for half a step, and the Sword Ancestor has never seen it, and I dare to be so self-proclaimed?"
Cheng Jun glanced at him coldly, the Xiling Sword Sect was aggressive, and Jiuyan Mountain was also not giving an inch. At this time, it is not the turn of anyone else to do to promote reconciliation between the two sides except Zhang Qinglu, let alone Cheng Jun. Cheng Jun, as the figure in the center of the whirlpool, represents the orthodox voice of Jiuyan Mountain, can be vicious and rash, but must not back down, not a single step. You must hold your breath and stand up to the pressure of the Xiling Sword Sect head-on. When the sky falls, others can carry it for him, but if he takes the initiative to take a step back, even if he enters the Sword Pavilion under the mediation of others, he will lose his confidence after all. In the future, it will not be able to gain a foothold in Jiuyan Mountain. Therefore, even if he plays a role as crazy as Bai Shaoqing, it is impossible to say. Said: "Because I am indeed the caretaker of the Sword Pavilion. It's useless if you don't believe it. I'm not a Sword Pavilion guard, are you?"
Tang Shichu's eyebrows slanted downward, and said: "Naturally, I am not now, but if I am qualified for this position, if I am compared to Your Excellency, ......"
Cheng Jun said lightly: "I think what you mean is that you must provoke." This palace can't be moved, and when the ceremony is over, you come to me. If you want to fight, you can accompany you at any time. As he spoke, he lifted the corner of his robe, turned around and sat down on the futon, closing his eyes and resting himself.
Seeing him like this, the corners of Ying Yue's mouth twitched slightly, and she turned her head to look at Tang Shichu. Tang Shichu's face sank, and he said, "Okay, with my identity as a flying illusion sword, I will bet with you on the position of the guardian of the Nine Yan Mountain Sword Pavilion." ”
Cheng Jun raised his eyes slightly and said, "I fought against you because I couldn't get used to your appearance." As for the position of the caretaker of the Nine Wild Goose Mountain Sword Pavilion, you don't have to think about it, even if you want to break the sword in your hand, you can't sit in that seat. Even if you want to blind your good eyes, you can't sit in that seat. Even if you go back and beg your head, your head will give up your face and ask for it step by step in front of Jiuyan Mountain, you still can't sit in that seat. I said that you are delusional, it seems a little mean, in short, that position has nothing to do with you, and you can't do anything if you don't believe it. "He rarely speaks harshly, but if he does, he won't be below anyone.
Tang Shichu was furious, the hand pressed on the hilt of the sword shook suddenly, and the long sword was unsheathed one foot again, Rao was like this, and he still didn't pull it out. Cheng Jun was slightly surprised, this person's self-control was okay. There was no blood in Zixiao Palace, and Tang Shichu must not draw his sword to face each other, especially under the premise that the people who moved the stars and the sea were present. But he will never give up, and will definitely take other more direct and strong measures, such as - suddenly, he felt that in the Purple Mansion, a strong divine sense crashed into him
