Chapter 16: The Sword Venerable's Acceptance of Disciples
Xiang Jisheng stood at the bottom of the mountain, looking up at the sect that had been there when he was a child.
The archway under the mountain passes, a straight stone step road to the sky, far past to the golden top. The mountainside is full of ups and downs, and the auspicious clouds and cranes are companions. When the white mist clouds were falling, there seemed to be a Taoist sect flickering in the treasure light glass. On both sides of the stone steps, there are small mountains and fields, iron cast pine dry, and deep green pine needles. There are even pedestrians who listen to the Tao and ask for hexagrams, and when they are tired of walking, they sit on the stones next to the stone steps to rest.
Enjoy the fast horse galloping, rushing along the way. Finally arrived at the foot of the Sword Sect Mountain two days in advance. This former scenery is even more majestic. Think of the Golden Dome Hall in my memory, Shuanggui Mountain, Pipa Mountain, Yan Mountain...... It's all changed, right?
Xiang Jisheng himself smiled. It's been decades. Since following the previous generation of Zhangjiao and leaving, he has hesitated to see the hardships and rescue the victims. Until the master sat down, he didn't go back to the Sword Sect again. That Hongchen connoisseurship also made Xiang Jisheng more clear about his way back. It is impossible for him to come back and lead all his disciples to become a big faction like Senior Brother Chunjun.
I felt nostalgic for a while, and suddenly I didn't want to go up. On this stone stairs and mountain road, how can you eat your old cold legs?
I also saw that there were actually other sects, riding spirit beasts transformed into demons and spirits. From the top of the Golden Peak, there are cranes and turtles going back and forth between the mountain and the dojo.
Enjoy the old man's beard trembling. Okay, you're a bull-nosed Zhang Chunjun! Have you also learned to watch people put on the dishes? When I entered the mountain gate, I sent a prayer post to the door. But no one cares about themselves...... The old man was a little emotional.
After a while, a little Taoist boy riding a spirit bird passed by. Take the "Mirror of the Gods" in your hand and compare them with the people below one by one. When he saw that someone had handed in a prayer post in advance, he sent someone to bring the crane over to ask. If you need to take a ride, you will send it. When he saw Xiang Jisheng, he also assigned a little Taoist priest and flew over.
Xiang Jisheng muttered in his heart, this is about the same.
When the little Taoist priest came to him, he first gave the old man a salute. Then he said, "I've seen real people." The head of the family explained that there was a message when he saw a real person. ”
Then he learned the appearance of Jian Zun, and recited aloud with a red face and embarrassment: "Patriarch Door Rules, all disciples of the True Martial Sword Sect, step on a thousand steps and go up the ladder to prove their Dao heart." Face the gold-roofed hall, nine knocks and thirteen bows, the left proves the original intention. If there is any dissatisfaction, the law enforcement hall will be in front of the road. Whoever cannot prevail shall be punished with a hundred rods. Descend the mountain and re-ascend. ”
After speaking, the little Taoist didn't wait for the sluggish old man to react. Stuffed him with a small bag, turned around and rode on the crane, and flew a smoke......
Xiang Jisheng wanted to catch this little Taoist and robbed his crane. Fly up to the Golden Dojo, and then pinch Chunjun Jianzun's nose and pull it hard! Okay, you bullnose! Angry opened the bag, and the small words on the note jumped into view. "Orphan, stubborn donkey" (7)
Xiang Jisheng sat on the trunk of the iron-cast pine, almost not breathing.
Sit in the shade of a tree and rest until you feel angry. The old man turned around and stopped climbing the stone steps. Anyway, there are still two days left. I went down the mountain by myself. He also cursed in his mouth. "I'm just waiting for you to invite!"
Walk down the stone steps and stay at a small inn at the foot of the mountain.
After Xiang Ji ascended away. A thin boy in black came to the stone where the old man had just rested and picked up the tips on the ground. looked at Xiang Jisheng who was going down the mountain and smiled slightly. Turning around, he slowly walked towards the Golden Dome of the Sword Sect.
Xiang Jisheng returned to the inn, drinking tea while thinking about the tips that Senior Brother Jianzun gave him today. I remembered that when I was young, we practiced together at the mountain gate and played a game together, "grasping the details". One person hides good things and leaves a cloth bag. Fill it with the clues you left behind. Use anagrams a lot. A group of brothers and sisters, according to the anagram, find clues to things. When he got the tips, Xiang Jisheng was suspicious.
Thinking of this, put down the teacup. Finger in the water, and then write four words on the table, "Note orphan, stubborn donkey". After staring at the words for a while, I saw that more places began to merge. Well? Breaking apart the four characters, the comma-separated "Zhu Gu" became "Sanzi Boiled Melon". "Stubborn donkey" has become "Centaur Surrender". Xiang Jisheng had a flash of inspiration in his head. That's what it says...... The three dolls eat well and sleep well? How many ambushes are there in all walks of life? Thinking of this, he quickly wiped the water stains on the table. I hurriedly took out a pen and ink letter. Carry it into your arms. Take advantage of the night and pretend to go out for a walk. Begin to lay some eyeliner around the True Martial Sword Sect. I'm still scolding in my heart, it's got to be you, the bull's nose. The old treacherous and cunning, the disciples of the Mingli Sect can monitor it. Secretly, I was looking for some work to do for my half-ass. Too......
He Xing lived in an empty side hall behind the golden-domed hall. Originally, it was a Dan room. The furnace and the earth fire for alchemy have been removed. There were only two bookshelves for Danfang, and a medicine shelf full of empty bottles. Jian Zun didn't let He Xing go to the Yanshan Dojo to live with the brothers.
He Xing looked at these Dan Fang, and was originally interested in books. Now there are a lot of books, so I discussed with Jian Zun if I can live here forever in the future. Jian Zun didn't agree, just smiled. Because he knew that when He Xing saw the Jing Pavilion, he would not be satisfied here.
There is still one day to come.
In the past half a month, Jian Zun has been studying the rectangular stone "fake mobile phone" with He Xing and swallowing the black jade brand. Jian Zun had never seen such a thing. At first, I thought that it was the same as the spirit card used by the Imperial Spirit Sect in Dianzhou, which belonged to the use of incarnating complex formations to control the spirit. After He Xing said what he thought, it could be regarded as the head of this knowledgeable faction, and he was also interested in applauding. However, after a few experiments, similar items of other materials could not withstand too many carvings. He Xing wasn't sure if others knew what kind of material this thing he had been playing with for three years was made of. There is a specialization in the art industry. He Xing has been studying the various books that Xiang Jisheng gave him, and all the kinds of mineral wonders mentioned have been told to Jian Zun. If it weren't for the support of a big sect behind him, Jian Zun would have gone bankrupt.
Time was short, and there was no time to experiment with the results. Finally, the night before the ceremony, four samples were made. There are a total of four black brands, two black jade and two black yaoshi. After the sword venerable formation was completed, the illusion provided by the feather dress was sealed inside. This wears out the feathers.
According to He Xing's observation, Jian Zun distinguished. The original slate of He Xing should be black tourmaline. The original one, in addition to the difference in material, should have been engraved by He Xing's aunt with soul power to gather the spirit array.
What Jian Zun didn't understand was where the other one in He Xing's soul came from. Xiang Jisheng once guessed that He Xing was taken away by passing immortals. It was also mentioned in the letter to Jianzun. But this question cannot be answered by asking He Xing at present. The soul of the seizure did not suppress He Xing's soul, but hid and waited for the opportunity. This also gave Aunt He Xing a chance to entangle it with her own remnant immortal soul. But after being entangled, it stands to reason that Aunt He Xing can use her soul power to cooperate with He Xing and strangle the one who took away. She didn't do that, and it became a bond that neutralized the two souls. This made Jian Zun wonder for a long time when he was overtaking that resentful soul. According to Jian Zun's guess, most of it was because of He Jinhua himself, and his hatred was deep. I want to use the resentment to take away the congratulatory line in the future.
These words cannot be explained to He Xing. A child, first almost sacrificed by the grievances of the rivers and lakes in the He family. He almost died in the You family because of the He family's relics. Dad is gone, and my aunt still wants to take it away. It's brutal. It is inevitable that He Xing will plant demons in his heart, which will affect his Dao heart in the future.
But he still wrote a letter to Xiang Jisheng, entrusting him to take care of He Xing's family. If something happens, Jian Zun is not sure if he will be able to enlighten a desperate child.
Early the next morning. The factions went to the Twin Turtle Mountain Dojo.
The dojo can be described as imposing. Surrounded by a fence carved in white jade. In the middle is a mirror-like flat stone brick floor. The ground is inlaid with a Taiji diagram that hugs yin and supports yang. There are also disciples of the True Martial Sword Sect reciting the Taoist Sutra on the periphery. Looking down, under the "human" zigzag steps, there is another dojo, which is a large venue for true martial arts disciples to practice martial arts on weekdays. This position is flush with the gimbal fog mantle. Looking at the iron-cast pines, the crane stopped. The giant incense burner held by the three of them was even more smoking.
Many people who came to the True Martial Sword Sect Dojo for the first time lingered at a glance. I want to enter the Tao here.
Look at the sect again. From the hidden family Yulingzong in northern Yunnan to the cold land outside the Guan, it is rare to come to the Central Plains outside the Saiwai double bear. That's right, it's a bear. Two tall and fat humanoid bears. (Dressed in animal skins and wearing a bear's hat.) Jianzun knew a lot of hidden things, but he didn't expect that the fisherman would dare to sprinkle the fish food, and he would not dare to stretch out the rod to go to the urn. There are more than a dozen sects in the rivers and lakes. This time, there were twenty.
The small sect will not be objectively introduced to you. The big faction is afraid of occupying a place for you to read the story. (8) Leave a side story.
With the sound of the bell ringing. Chunjun Jianzun stepped forward from the high platform above, with He Xing, Yan Jinggang, and Yu Shang, three small points. The one who presided over happened to be the original teacher of our three little ones, enjoying Jisheng.
Enjoy the old man's positive color, and preach the truth: "Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable." Today, under the Zhenwu Sword Sect, worship the "Dao Ancestor True Monarch" to forgive the soul and become enlightened. Teach incense! ”
After speaking, kneel down.
The various factions also know that the True Martial Sword Sect is in charge of the Taoist inheritance. So no one is messing around with this pomp. Many sects that do not believe in sects also follow suit.
Xiang Jisheng finished bowing at the Chunjun Sword Venerable, and then recited: "Bow to the Jade Emperor of the Spirit Stove Monarch again to play good and evil." ”
Farewell, everyone.
Xiang Jisheng recited again: "Three worships 'Zhen Tianzhen Martial Spirit should bless the Holy Emperor' fax Martial Sword Sect in the world." ”
The disciples of the True Martial Sword Sect bowed down.
This time except for the disciples and disciples of the True Martial Sword Sect. Others just make a symbolic round.
All the services are completed. After teaching and offering incense, Xiang Jisheng shouted again: "Fellow Jianghu, thank you for watching the ceremony." Below, the pure Jun Sword Venerable received the apprenticeship ceremony, and everyone can sit on both sides to watch the ceremony. After speaking, he saluted with one hand.
Jianzun stepped down from the high platform of the ceremony. Sit in front of the copper furnace and copper tripod.
Xiang Jisheng: "The disciple serves tea." ”
Each of the three little ones took a tea cup and served tea to Jian Zun one by one. When it came to Yushang, Jianzun didn't answer.
Yu Shang was also stunned. I thought to myself, "Good old man! Are you trying to unload the grind and kill meow? ”
But he saw Chunjun Jianzun get up and bow towards Pipa Mountain. Then there was a burst of auspicious clouds and cranes, and a fairy bird with a whole body of silver mangs fell from the top of its head. collected her wings and transformed into a white-clothed Taoist girl. After returning the salute, he also sat down.
Xiang Jisheng's face was full of disbelief, and he still shouted, "Disciple serves tea!" ”
Jian Zun gave Yu Sheng a look. It doesn't mean that I won't answer, someone will rob you!
Yushang is not stupid, the Sword Sect Pipa Mountain guards the mountain spirit crane, but this is the ancestor of all the spirit cranes of the True Martial Sword Sect! Quickly knelt down and moved over, and brought the tea cup to the top of his head with both hands.
The white-clothed Dao Gu nodded and smiled. He said softly: "Good apprentice, if anyone dares to give you a little grievance in this immortal cultivation world in the future." Even if he can't beat the teacher, he is called restless. ”
The various factions who watched the ceremony, when they heard this, only felt a little wind blowing on the back of their necks.
Even Yang Tieshan, who originally wanted to rob people, asked the white-eyed old man next to him, who is so good?
Who knew that the white-eyed old man coughed lightly. I didn't care.
The guest officer is going to ask, who is the white-eyed old man? This person is the demon cultivator faction: the head of the natural gate of the Hidden Spirit Mountain, Yang Sheping.
So why didn't he ignore it?
He and this Pipa Mountain Crane Immortal Gu - Guiyun Daozun, the same generation. And it really doesn't have to be beaten. It seems that Guiyun Daozun's voice is gentle and gentle. In fact, in the power of demon cultivation, even Mo Yue's old thief may not be able to bargain in force.
At present, there are many factions in the rivers and lakes, and there are not a few who have two respects. But it's a pity that only a handful of those who have left behind the inheritance. Among them, the True Martial Sword Sect is most famous for its sharp attack and proper defense.
Chunjun Sword Venerable and Guiyun Daozun, seeing that the junior disciples finished saluting. I also took out my own small gifts and gave them away.
He Xing received a copy of the classic book "On the Five Elements and the Formless". Yan Jing had just received a book of body refining. The feather dress was obtained and a feather-inlaid fairy robe made by Yun Daozun himself.
A few people haven't gotten beautiful yet. Jian Zun asked them to step aside first. The three little ones stood beside Guiyun Daozun. Jian Zun bowed his hand to the various factions in the rivers and lakes. Then he said, "Today's apprenticeship is complete." Thank you very much for joining us. Next, I would like to announce something that has been of concern to you for a long time. Presumably everyone has already inquired that You He Xing has the treasures of the original He family. Legend has it that the relics hide the secret of the ascension of the immortals. As for the truth or falsehood, there is no such thing as convincing everyone. However, since you know that this treasure is in my disciple, if you don't give an explanation to the cultivation world, you will definitely not give up easily. I simply discussed a good plan with Elder Guiyun. It can not only satisfy everyone's curiosity about the relics, but also ensure that no other sect covets it for monopoly. Therefore, I also want everyone present to discuss this idea, or to testify. ”
A black-clothed boy in the audience answered: "We believe the words of the predecessor of the Sword Venerable." But to hand over the relics? I don't know if I can check the real or fake with my own eyes? ”
The crowd gave way to a place, and the man in black came.
Jian Zun smiled. Then he said: "Don't hide your rank, in the early years, in order to find the method of ascension, immortality, and return to the Dao, the True Martial Sword Sect also collected similar items. ”
With that, he took out four black jade plaques from his sleeve. Place in a tray on the table. Then he asked: "I don't know if this son has the eye to distinguish the truth from the fake?" Oh, I haven't asked for advice yet, what is the school of the childe, and who is the teacher? ”
