Chapter 427: New Uses of Skills and Chongyang Palace
Leaving the small courtyard where they lived, Zheng Shu and Huang Ming went to the mountain house together and gathered with Liu Xingyang, who was waiting here.
"Senior brother." ×2。
After coming to the place, Zheng Shu looked at Liu Xingyang, who was wearing sunglasses and had a somewhat fat posture, and sighed inexplicably.
He still remembered that when he was just brought back to Baiyun Temple by Xu Zhengning, Liu Xingyang in front of him was still a fifteen or sixteen-year-old innocent little Taoist priest, but he didn't expect such a big change in just fifteen years.
The originally lively little Taoist priest has now become a middle-aged uncle who has made a fortune.
"Here, let's go."
Liu Xingyang nodded with a tense face, Huang Ming was extremely active, he had the best relationship with his senior brother, so although Liu Xingyang's face looked quite serious, Huang Ming was not very afraid.
Syllable!
Liu Xingyang slapped Huang Ming's head, and it seemed that he was a little helpless that he was so excited about his junior brother.
"Stinky boy, we haven't left the view yet, keep it!"
"Yes......"
Without paying attention to Huang Ming, who shrank himself up aggrievedly, Zheng Shu asked with some curiosity while picking up the luggage next to Liu Xingyang.
"Senior brother, are we going to leave so early this time?"
Although Longhu Mountain is in Jiangxi and Baiyun Temple is in BJ, according to the current traffic conditions, it should be enough to go a day or two in advance, so as not to set off a week in advance like now, right?
"Before we go to Longhu Mountain, we have to go to Chongyang Palace first, so we have to leave early."
"Chongyang Palace?"
Zheng Shu was a little puzzled, but he knew that the Chongyang Palace in Shaanxi was also one of the three ancestral courts of the Quanzhen Sect, and it was also the place where the Quanzhen Dao patriarch Wang Chongyang cultivated and left in his early years.
But they should be going to participate in the Luo Tian Da Jiao of Longhu Mountain this time, and he didn't remember in the original book that Chongyang Palace was going to send someone to participate in this Luo Tian Da Jiao.
After all, the Taoist priests of the Quanzhen Sect are all monks, especially the Taoist priests of the Quanzhen Dragon Sect, all of whom are the type who are dedicated to cultivation and do not care about the outside world at all.
Unless it is really a state of mind cultivation that has reached a certain level, so it needs to enter the world to practice, otherwise the outside world basically can't see Taoist priests who belong to the Quanzhen Dragon Sect.
Just like the Jiashen Rebellion in the original book, so many decent people were affected, including Longhu Mountain, Wudang and Maoshan who are also representatives of Taoism.
But there were so many Taoist temples that belonged to the Quanzhen Dragon Sect that none of them participated, and neither the Thirty-Six Thieves nor the Eight Wonders could arouse any interest from them.
has been "dwelling" in his own Taoist temple, which does not leak mountains and water, and looks as if it is a self-contained system.
Liu Xingyang helped his sunglasses and explained carefully to Zheng Shu.
It turned out that it was the concept of the Quanzhen Dragon Gate lineage that completely escaped from the world and practiced the trouble.
Because everyone wants to escape from the world and practice, most of the Inhuman gatherings can not participate in it, and the other Inhuman forces have also become accustomed to this attitude of the Quanzhen Dragon Sect.
However, as one of the most solemn activities in the Taoist Zhaijiao ritual, even if the Quanzhen Longmen lineage wants to escape from the world, one or two people must be sent as representatives to participate in the event every time to show respect for the Taoist concept.
Then the problem arises, everyone doesn't want to waste their time practicing, so they can only choose one unlucky person as a representative.
Obviously, because of the special geographical location of Baiyun Temple, they chose this unlucky guy for such reasons.
Of course, even if a representative is elected, in order to show their "attention", every time they attend this type of gathering, they still have to ask Baiyunguan to bring something that represents themselves.
Generally speaking, it is a post or letter written by himself, plus the Baiyun Temple personnel who are personally present, in a sense, it does show their sincerity, and other forces are not good to say anything.
"Then after we go to Chongyang Palace, do we have to go to Yongle Palace again?" Huang Ming asked curiously.
After all, Yongle Palace is also one of the three ancestral courts of the Quanzhen Sect, and it makes no sense that the other two ancestral courts have shown their sincerity but left Yongle Palace alone.
"Ah, that's not necessary, the abbot of Yongle Palace left a few handwritten letters by the way when he communicated with our abbot last time, which was used at such a time. He also said at the time that he would be in retreat for the next few years, so let's not bother him if we have nothing to do. ”
Liu Xingyang took out a letter paper from behind him with a nonchalant face, Zheng Shu stretched out his head to look at it, and then his face was full of black lines.
It can only be said that this letter is indeed written by himself, but it is the kind of universal sentence that applies the writing template, and it belongs to this type of activity that can be taken out as one's own "sincerity".
"This thing...... Can taking it out really show sincerity? ”
Which of these things can show sincerity, they have already pasted the word "perfunctory" on their faces!
"It's okay, as long as the mind arrives, anyway, even if we take it to the old heavenly master, we may not necessarily look at it, we may not pay attention to it, and we may not be angry if we do it, so this is fine, which is also in line with the characteristics of our Taoist quiet and inaction."
Liu Xingyang's tall body made a salted fish-like sound, which made Zheng Shuhu's body tremble, and he almost thought that he had heard it wrong.
Also, is it really you who use "pure inaction" like this, aren't you afraid that Wang Chongyang will drop a thunderbolt in the spirit of heaven and chop you to death?!
"Okay, let's go, I'm going to be on the train, if there's a problem, I'll explain it to you on the train."
Liu Xingyang no longer paid attention to the rest of the questions between the two, and sped up with his hands behind his back.
Zheng Shu and Huang Ming glanced at each other, and they could only carry a small package on their backs and follow this senior brother out of Baiyun Temple.
Leaving Baiyun Temple, looking at the bustling traffic and crowd outside, Zheng Shu was vaguely in a trance.
Speaking of which, except for the last time he followed the abbot to participate in another Luo Tian Jiao Festival, he probably hadn't left here for seven or eight years.
The economy of the neighborhood was pretty average when I left last time, but it's only been less than a decade before it has grown so well.
The three of them didn't take a taxi, but just walked towards the train station with their legs.
They are all cultivators, so they won't be too tired, and this little distance should be warmed up.
The only bad thing is that because the three people are wearing Taoist robes, they are sometimes watched when they walk on the road, but fortunately today is a working day, so the number of pedestrians on the road is not so much.
"Huh?"
Suddenly, Zheng Shu, who was walking on the road, raised his eyebrows, and his eyes immediately pointed to a figure across the street.
The man was dressed like a very ordinary office worker, wearing a suit and leather shoes, holding a bag in his hand, and looking like he had just finished running a business run.
However, under careful induction, Zheng Shu found that this person had an innate Qi that was slightly stronger than ordinary people, and his physical fitness was several times stronger than that of ordinary people.
"The innate alien of the body enhancement class, it seems that there should be no teacher, and he can only rely on himself to polish his strength, so his strength is a little weaker."
Zheng Shu glanced at him and withdrew his gaze, as if he also realized that his sight had been discovered by Zheng Shu, and the man hurriedly grabbed his bag and left the street.
It's just a small episode, Zheng Shu didn't care too much, after all, the proportion of Inhumans in the crowd is about 1 in 50,000, although it seems to be very small, but the number is not small in a big city with a population of tens of millions like BJ.
The main reason why he was able to detect that this person was an alien was because the other party's gaze was too harsh.
In the eyes of ordinary people, Zheng Shu is just a mediocre-looking little Taoist, although the identity of the Taoist priest is somewhat magical, but the emotions contained in the sight should not be "amazing".
If you see his true appearance, they should all be aliens who can detect the innate Qi in their bodies.
"Huh? In this way, in the world under one person, the second skill of the panel allows me to distinguish those innate aliens hidden in the crowd. ”
Zheng Shu blinked, and suddenly realized this problem, because he had stayed in the Taoist temple all the year round, and he had become accustomed to the respectful or kind eyes of the people around him, so he really didn't expect this stubble.
"Yes, yes, I learned another trick."
Not long after leaving Baiyun Temple, Zheng Shu had a new harvest, and Zheng Shu's mood became good, and he became more looking forward to the next trip.
……
……
XA City, Chongyang Palace.
"Huo, this Chongyang Palace is quite good."
Zheng Shu stood in front of the gate of Chongyang Palace, feeling the various mysteries caused by the specially built architectural pattern inside, and he was a little amazed in his heart.
Unlike Baiyun Temple, which was actually a royal residence at the beginning, Chongyang Palace is the place where Wang Chongyang, the patriarch of Quanzhen Dao, cultivated and left his soul in his early years.
Compared with the continuous expansion by later generations, and finally became the Taoist temple of Baiyun Temple, the architectural pattern of Chongyang Palace has been alluded to the concept of yin and yang at the beginning, and the concept of gossip harmony, and then through the continuous repair and expansion of later generations for many years, the entire Chongyang Palace even has a feeling of "formation".
The feelings of ordinary people are not too obvious, but for people like Zheng Shu, who are good at controlling the innate qi, they can feel the subtleties in it very clearly.
With the help of these subtleties, the efficiency of practicing here is probably one or two percent higher than that in ordinary places.
However, such a good place of cultivation was not maliciously occupied by anyone, and was still controlled by the Taoists of Chongyang Palace, and it was self-evident how strong the potential power of Chongyang Palace was.
"Senior brother, this mountain gate looks similar to our Baiyun Temple, where can you see it well?"
Huang Ming stared at the door in front of him twice, but he didn't feel anything strange.
Syllable!
"If you don't listen to you when you cultivate well, you can't even see where others are strong at a critical time, it seems that I have to do some homework for you when I go back this time."
Liu Xingyang, who was the leader of this trip, slapped Huang Ming on the back of the head without hesitation.
"Huh?! Don't! ”
Just when a few people were hesitating whether to buy tickets directly to go in, or find someone to announce it first, a voice came from the side.
"A few of them should be Taoist friends from Baiyun Temple, right?"
The voice sounded leisurely and decent, and it seemed to contain a strange power, as if the breeze was blowing on the face, which made people feel refreshed.
The three of them turned their heads together to look over, and at the side gate of Chongyang Palace, a young Taoist in a Taoist robe was standing there, his arms wrapped around and hidden in the wide sleeved robe, with a gentle smile between his eyebrows.
"Exactly, Liu Xingyang, who came to Chongyang Palace this time on the orders of the abbot, came to discuss matters related to the Luotian Great Sect of Longhu Mountain."
Liu Xingyang reacted immediately, clasped his hands into fists and saluted, and the two people beside him also clasped their fists and saluted at the same time.
"In the Lower Baiyun View Zheng Shu."
"In the lower Baiyun view Huang Ming."
The young Taoist did not slack off, and the hands that had been hugging in front of him raised and returned the salute.
"In Xia Wang Yi, he is the Taoist who is entertaining guests at the front gate of Chongyang Palace today, and he is waiting for the Taoist friends of Baiyun Temple here on the order of the abbot. I thought that you fellow Daoists would be a little late, but I didn't expect to come so early. Since it happened to happen, let me show you the way. ”
"Then it's bothering fellow Daoists."
The young Taoist priest smiled and nodded, and then raised his hand and led to the gate of Chongyang Palace: "Please." ”
"Thank you."
Several people no longer hesitated, and after Wang Yi finished paying the tickets, they followed him into the gate and rushed towards the backyard of Chongyang Palace.
Walking in the lively courtyard of the palace, several people from Baiyunguan were also secretly looking at Wang Yi.
This person's age doesn't seem to be very big, about the same as Huang Ming, that is, eighteen or nineteen years old, but his cultivation is quite good.
The face is so white that it seems to be able to reflect the light, and the skin exposed between the actions is also exuding a radiant light, which is obviously because the life cultivation has reached a certain level, so there is such a performance.
Based on his age, this should not be an ordinary Taoist priest in the Chongyang Palace, and he is probably also a gifted genius, after all, this cultivation level has even surpassed Huang Ming with Zheng Shu's guidance.
And in the process of a few people looking at Wang Yi, he also kept looking at a few people in Baiyun Temple.
Liu Xingyang didn't say it for the time being, just look at the age and know that it was the older generation.
The practice of the whole true line is to polish one's own life, abandon all the bells and whistles, and practice until the whole body is leaky.
The biggest feature of this extremely orthodox Taoist kung fu is that it is neutral and peaceful, and there is almost no worry about going crazy when cultivating.
And although when you are young, you will be deficient in combat power compared to other sects that are good at strange skills and tricks, but with the growth of cultivation years, the strength you can show will become stronger and stronger, and eventually far surpass those sects that are not good at polishing your life.
So in such an environment of exercises, there is no point in comparing yourself with people who are older than you.
Another Huang Mingxiu, who seems to be similar in age to himself, is not bad, he looks only a step worse than himself, and he should also be a genius of Baiyunguan's generation.
And the last person who called himself Zheng Shu, Wang Yi was a little incomprehensible.
Judging from the attitude of the three of them, Zheng Shu's status among the three is not bad, and Huang Ming's attitude towards this person can even be called respectful.
But in terms of cultivation, he felt a lot worse, although he couldn't specifically perceive this person's cultivation level, but judging from the Qi he revealed, it should be a little worse than Huang Ming.
But every time he saw Zheng Shu, Wang Yi would feel that his perception was frantically alarming, and that feeling was like an ordinary person staying by the side of a tiger.
"I can't read ......"
Wang Yi shook his head secretly, no longer thinking about these questions, but led a few people to walk quickly through the lively scenic spot and came to the quiet backyard.
Here, the abbot of Chongyang Palace has been waiting for a long time.
