In order to participate in the grand event of the Light Festival, countless Haotian believers poured into the Xiling Divine Kingdom from all over the world, and the envoys of various countries also arrived one after another, and were arranged by the temple to live in the garden halls around Peach Mountain, and those with noble status were arranged to live in the Heavenly Oracle Courtyard.

The representative of the Southern Jin Dynasty Sword Pavilion was Liu Yiqing, Ning Que stood between the cliffs, looking at the blind swordsman who was accepted into the Heavenly Oracle Academy by Mo Li's priest, thinking of the battle outside the side gate of the academy back then, he couldn't help but feel a little emotional.

Liu Yiqing's cultivation career in the first half of his nationality has been unknown, until he was recalled to the Sword Pavilion to become famous, many people are very optimistic about this person's talent in swordsmanship, the second senior brother even said that if this person can not miss the opportunity, it is possible to go to his brother Sword Saint Liu Bai's Cheng dù.

Liu Bai also attached great importance to him, and asked him to go to Chang'an City to find a person who had entered the academy to challenge, so as to sharpen his mind, and he did not hesitate to seek benefits at the expense of defeat, but he didn't want the Xiling Temple Ruling Division to do anything in the meantime, and the challenge became a battle of life and death, and Ning Que, who broke through the barrier, cut his eyes blind with a knife.

If it is an ordinary cultivator, if he encounters such a heavy setback, he is afraid that he will collapse, but Liu Yiqing really did not live up to Liu Bai's attention and the comments of the second senior brother, and after being blind, he meditated in the Sword Pavilion for several years, cultivating to the realm and even the heart to advance by leaps and bounds, and went straight to the realm of knowing fate like a sword. From this point of view, his eyes were cut blind by Ning Que, maybe it was the so-called opportunity that the second senior brother once said.

In the battle of Qingxia, Liu Bai cut off the right arm of the second senior brother, and he was also injured a lot, and returned to the Sword Pavilion to repair and heal, and the affairs of the Sword Pavilion are now taken care of by Liu Yiqing.

Ning Que once met a strong man of the Sword Pavilion Cheng Zhiqing in the Rotten Ke Temple, but today he did not see this person in the Sword Pavilion team, it seems that Liu Yiqing's position in the Sword Pavilion has been stabilized.

He was still a little puzzled, because the Sword Saint Liu Bai did not come, although it was rumored that his injuries had not healed, but the Light Sacrifice was such a big deal. As a guest of the temple, Liu Bai should be present in person no matter what.

Immediately after, Ning Que saw the envoy from the Golden Horde's court. There was only one carriage in the Golden Horde's mission, and in the carriage sat an old man with a wrinkled face and a cloth shirt, and it was not a horse pulling the cart, but a strong man of the prairie with muscles as hard as stones, and he looked extremely shabby.

However, after knowing the identities of these two people. No one thinks this scale is shabby, because the old man in the cloth shirt in the car is the most respected national teacher in the Golden Horde Court, Master Baoding, and the strong man in the grassland who pulls the cart is the Golden Horde Court's first master of martial arts, General!

Such a noble figure, even if there are only two of them, is enough to represent the Golden Horde's court's respect for the Xiling Temple and the importance it attaches to the Light Festival. What shocked the temple the most was that the Golden Horde and Loeb actually came to Xiling directly through the Tang realm, instead of circumnavigating the moon wheel.

Ning Que had seen the national teacher of the Golden Horde Court in the wasteland, and he knew how unfathomable the realm of this ordinary looking old man in cloth shirt was, and he didn't even dare to look at this old man twice.

The envoy of the Yan State also arrived, and the Chongming Emperor, who only succeeded to the throne at the beginning of the year, actually threw away the heavy state affairs and brought hundreds of relatives to the mountains and rivers.

Then the representatives of the Buddha sect also arrived. The monk who presided over the sea in the Langke Temple came alone, but the enlightened monk didn't know where he went, and the iron rod ascetic monks of the Baita Temple also arrived a lot, and the most vigilant thing for Ning Que was that the Hanging Temple in the far west wilderness also sent a representative, and it was the Buddha who walked the world with seven thoughts!

The most noble royal family and the most powerful cultivators in the world have all come to the Xiling Divine Kingdom to prepare to participate in the Light Festival. The spectacle was huge. The grandeur of the regulation far exceeds the Yu Lan Festival festival of the Ranke Temple that year. Only the Tang Kingdom did not send an official mission, and the red-sleeved greeting was meaningful, and no one from the academy came.

As soon as the war ended, the Tang Kingdom and the Academy did not send people to participate in the Light Festival, which is something that many people can understand, but people can't understand it, even the Hanging Temple, an unknowable place of Buddhism, has sent a representative, why has it never heard the movement of Zhishouguan? You must know that the mysterious Taoist temple is an unknowable place of Taoism.

......

......

Many people came to the Xiling Temple, some people waited in the Xiling Temple, and some people chose to leave, because there was nothing he wanted here, and that person was the Prince of Longqing.

When Longqing left Momoyama, the place he was going to was Zhishouguan. As a mysterious and unknowable place, even in the Xiling Temple, not many people know where the Taoist temple is in the deep mountains, but he has lived in that Taoist temple for a long time, so he naturally knows the way back.

Zhishouguan is in the territory of Xiling Divine Kingdom, not far from the peach mountain where the temple is located, and there are several steep peaks in the middle, and when the weather is fine, you can even see the temple in the sun in the temple.

Long Qing withdrew his gaze in the direction of the temple and looked at the ordinary, even somewhat rudimentary, Dao Gate in front of him. As when I last visited, the wooden door of the temple was still closed, and no sound could be heard inside.

Zhishouguan is an unknowable place of Daomen, naturally it is impossible to be as ordinary and simple as its appearance, and there is an extremely powerful Daomen Divine Array arranged in the view

When the formation is activated, you can't go over the wall, you can't climb the window, you can only enter and exit through the gate, and when the gate is closed, no one can enter or exit, and the Taoist temple will become a prison, with the sky as the cover and the ground as the paving, and no one can think of escaping.

After the appearance of Zhishouguan in the world, except for the master, no one can break through the door in a dashing manner, last autumn when the senior brother of the academy and the master of the temple fought at a distance, he once came here, and then left instantly, and was not imprisoned by the big array in the Zhishouguan, but that does not mean that the realm of the senior brother has been able to ignore this big array, but because there is a person who knows the formation very well has done something in the view in advance.

That person is Chen Pipi, who has lived in Zhishouguan since childhood. Long Qing knew about this, so he ventured into the secluded pavilion to see Chen Pipi, and wanted to know how to enter Zhishouguan.

Chen Pipi told him that the method of entering knowledge and guarding the view is "seven in and thirteen out".

Long Qing didn't know what these five words meant, after thinking about it these days, he guessed that the seven entrances should refer to the seven thatched houses on the shore of Guanli Lake, which represented the seven passages of the formation, and the so-called thirteen outs should refer to the thirteen doors of the formation of life and death cycles.

He didn't have much research on the formation, but he had the courage and determination, and looking at the stone steps lined with green platforms in front of the gate, he took a deep breath and walked up, reaching out to push towards the gate.

Before his palm landed on the gate, a majestic aura instantly occupied his body and mind, and several black bloodlines flowed out of his nose and eyes, and he was extremely seriously injured silently, and even if he wasn't a heartless person, I was afraid that he would be dead at this time!

Long Qing retreated to the bottom of the stone steps, looking at the ordinary wooden door, his face became extremely pale, he didn't expect to be able to enter the Zhishou Observatory at once, but he didn't expect this formation to be so terrifying.

He was silent for a moment and then left the gate, went around to the back of the Taoist temple, looked at the gray stone walls that were not high, but did not have any courage to climb them, and then he saw the green hill behind the temple.

Long Qing is very familiar with this green mountain, he has traveled back and forth between the Taoist temple and the green mountain countless times, and he has walked countless times to the anthill-like caves in the mountain cliff, and he knows that the reason why this mountain looks green is because the surface of the mountain is covered with dense green vines, and he knows that there are many terrible people living in it.

Today's green hill has collapsed, turning into a mound more than ten feet high, with green grass, which looks like an old tomb that has not been cared for for many years.

Long Qing looked at this green hill and noticed that the top was very flat, giving people the feeling that it was like a giant sticking out a foot from the sky, directly stepping on the original green hill into its current appearance.

Those anthill-like caves in the green mountains are long gone, and the peerless powerhouses of the Dao Sect who once lived in those caves have all turned into ashes in the tomb.

Recalling the torture he had suffered in those caves, the majesty he had felt, the indescribably powerful man of the half-cut Daoist, Longqing couldn't believe what he saw, he was shocked beyond words, he hated those old Daoists again, but those old Daoists always represented the strength of the Daomen, that experience has always been a source of his pride and confidence, but in front of this miraculous picture, how ridiculous is his pride and self-confidence?

Before returning to Zhishouguan, Long Qing sat cross-legged, and it took a long time to eliminate the shock in his heart, so that his somewhat depressed heart returned to tranquility, and began to continue to think about Chen Pipi's words.

What does it mean to have seven in and thirteen out? He pondered for a long time, and only when the morning light fell did he reopen his eyes, and the moss-covered stone steps came into his eyes again.

He suddenly noticed that there were six stone steps in front of him.

Thirteen minus seven is exactly six?

Long Qing was silent for a moment before standing up, walked to the stone steps, turned around and went backwards up the six stone steps, then the six stone steps, and then the seven stone steps again.

There were only six steps of stone steps in front of the temple, and after taking seven steps backwards, his back should have hit the wooden door, but he didn't hit anything, because he had already entered the Zhishou Temple.

Advance is backward.

Knowing its male and guarding its female is to know and watch.

Knowing its advance, guarding its retreat, and retreating as advance, can we advance and know and watch.

Seven in and thirteen out, or that's what it means.

......

......

Walked into Zhishouguan, walked along the familiar lake, came to the familiar house, and before knocking, the door opened, and a middle-aged Taoist looked at Longqing and said, "You came faster than I thought." ”

Long Qing saluted the middle-aged Taoist and said, "I've seen Uncle Shi." ”

The middle-aged Taoist waved his hand and said, "Come in." ”

When Long Qing walked into the house, he smelled a fishy smell, and this unpleasant smell came from the person on the couch.

He had smelled this smell before, in the black wind in the south of Chang'an City.

Looking at the man on the couch, his mood was a little complicated, but the expression on his face did not change, he walked to the couch, knelt down on his knees and touched the ground with his forehead, and said, "The apprentice is incompetent, please punish the master." (To be continued)
