Tianliang Peak is located in the center of Xuanming Road, hidden in the clouds, on which the pavilions and pavilions are numerous, carved beams and painted buildings, like the heavenly shrine. The mountainside is where the library is located, which is the place where the disciples in the door learn and learn knowledge, and it collects the classics and biographies collected and recorded by the predecessors of various generations of Xuanming Dao for thousands of years.

The peak is a gold-domed hall, and the plaque is engraved with three gilded characters of the Hall of Eternal Life, which is where the head of the sect or the predecessors of the door preach the law, and the people who listen to the lecture are all monks of the Moon Realm. At the same time, it is also a place for Xuanming Taoist monks to discuss problems with each other and make decisions.

But today, Tao Ling, the head of the sect, did not preach the Fa, he closed his eyes, his expression was blank, and he was communicating with others with his divine sense. And the person who communicated with him was the black and white old man you Ziji met. After a long time, Tao Ling opened his eyes. Like the finishing touch, the compassion in his eyes is quite divine and makes people reverence, no longer like the previous mortal clay sculptures.

"Senior disciples, from today onwards, we will have the eightieth disciple of Xuanming Dao."

Sitting down a middle-aged Taoist was overjoyed when he heard the words, his beard was black and long, his body was majestic, and he sat on the futon and was a cut taller than others, very conspicuous, he held his beard and smiled: "It's really a happy event, my Xuanming Dao is now prosperous, far better than in the past, it is a sign of great prosperity." ”

Tao Ling, the head of the sect, did not think about it, but said: "Senior Brother Le Qi must not say in vain, everything has a fate, the so-called extreme things must be opposed, there are so many disciples in this session, I am afraid that something big will happen in the world, and my Xuanming Dao will inevitably be indispensable." ”

Everyone knows this, but in addition to the optimistic nature of this long-haired Taoist priest, others, including the head of the sect, did not take the so-called calamity to heart.

However, this disciple came really strangely, and Tao Ling couldn't figure out why You Ziji couldn't use a sword weapon.

The gentle woman on the seat asked politely, "Do you know which senior brother brought back the disciple?" ”

Tao Ling was about to reply, but saw a blue-green streamer rushing towards him outside the mountain.

All the monks were very surprised, and said, "How did Senior Brother Dongfang Dark come here?" ”

Dongfang secretly withdrew the fairy sword, fell from the clouds, saluted to the senior brothers in the hall, and said: "Senior brother, Senior Brother Changyun Bai has found a disciple in Longbei to come back, I have asked Senior Nephew Ji Wenyi to take him to the bottom of the mountain, but the specific arrangement still needs to be decided by Senior Brother Zhang." ”

In the middle of the hall was a short old man, with a strong body, knotted muscles, a neatly repaired beard, a coarse linen coat covered with animal skins, dressed like a hunter, and his voice was loud and loud.

"You kid is too cautious, it's good for you to decide for yourself if you have a disciple to get started."

Dongfang secretly saw that the old man was speaking, and did not immediately open his mouth to refute, but bowed to him, just because this person was the senior brother who guided him to practice, his name was Hao Lianfeng, and he was the elder brother who was also a teacher and a friend. At this moment, speaking out is really Dongfang Dark's expression of a slight panic, I am afraid that he will be looked down upon in front of the head of the sect and the senior brothers, and lose the responsibility of guarding the door that is quite important to him.

Dongfang secretly greeted the old man, and then explained: "This disciple's surname is You Mingziji, and he came from the Northern Wilderness. ”

The cultivator in the hall didn't feel that there was anything wrong, Chang Yunbai had already discussed it with the elders in the door when he went out of the mountain to solve the formation problem, and the destination was the Northern Wilderness, and he felt that one of the young men was destined to become a disciple of Xuanming Dao, and there was nothing unreasonable.

The master said: "Your two senior brothers in Beishan, Chu Jiang and Han Jing, have already informed me in advance, and they are the ones who threw You Ziji to you. This disciple seems to be only good at fists and feet, but he can't use swords, there are indeed some strange things, Dongfang Senior Brother must know the inside story. ”

"Senior brother doesn't know why this is so, but it seems to have something to do with what I'm about to say, he is actually a spiritual root!"

"Spiritual Root?!"

For the first time, all the monks in the main hall exploded, and for the first time, the Heavenly Rail Peak Immortal Hall became noisy because of the discussion of matters other than cultivation issues.

"He is one of the spiritual roots of this birth, I don't remember that there was indeed a vision of heaven and earth in the period of time before the Northern Wilderness for more than half a year."

"Linggen is a genius of the heavens, and it is common to focus a little, but I have never heard of the inability to use a sword weapon."

"Linggen is the messenger of the gods, only loyal to the gods, we Xuanming Dao must not accept such people as disciples."

"This is a bit absolute, my Dao also accepted a spiritual root as a disciple a hundred years ago, and it was that senior who confirmed the ethereal theory of the six qi, and now only one of the qigong methods he created can be used, so this contribution cannot be erased. As long as it can be taught reasonably, I don't think there is any downside. ”

"Senior brother's statement is not true, at that time, the world was peaceful, there was no war in the world, and that Linggen senior had never received the summons and orders of the gods in his life. Now as the government has accumulated disadvantages for a long time today, and the altar of the evil god has also begun to recover, not to mention this far, it is that Luoyanmen has grown and grown for decades, and my Daomen is increasing day by day, and Tianfu has nothing to do except for the mud, and our two factions are coerced by the end forces, and I am afraid that a war will break out sooner or later, which is clearly a sign before the great changes in the world. How can we ensure that this spiritual root will not behave strangely due to the instructions of the gods in times of war? ”

"What the junior brother said is not true, how do you know that the spirit root senior did not receive the information of the gods, with his strength, it must not be so easy for the gods to control him. How can you guarantee that this disciple will be bewitched by the gods? ”

"As you said, Senior Brother, you can't guarantee that this disciple will be able to resist on his own after receiving the instructions of the gods."

The gentle woman in the hall suddenly interjected at this time, "The biggest drawback of the spiritual root is that it will leak the secret of the spells in my sect to the gods, and then the gods will transfer them to Tianfu. This kind of thing has long been an open secret in the long-standing sects. ”

Hearing this, everyone in the main hall stopped arguing, after all, the secret of the exercise is the core of a sect, and Tianfu started by relying on the exercises obtained by the spiritual roots of the gods, so it has today's scale.

In addition to the inherited spells, Xuanming Dao often has newly studied methods coming out, and it is common for them to be refined from generation to generation, and it is common for them to be learned by others, and they wish that the monks of the world would develop and use it, provided that there is "fate".

It's a pity that there are some secrets in the Xuanming Dao, or the core of the six major factions, that cannot be humane, and they are all related to the gods, so they can be regarded as "no fate".

Sect Leader Tao Ling suddenly spoke: "Senior Brother Dongfang, have you ever seen Chang Yunbai's jade plate, does he know the identity of Youzi Ji Linggen." ”

Dongfang said secretly: "After discovering the identity of the wandering son Ji Linggen, I carefully checked the jade plate, which did contain the information left by Master Chang's nephew, but it also accurately mentioned the matter of the spiritual root. ”

Tao Ling nodded and said, "Our Xuanming Dao has always followed our heart, since the eldest disciple Chang Yunbai feels that he can be accepted as a disciple, he must have thought it through, and we can only agree." What Senior Sister Jiang Shui said is the biggest problem, so how to prevent the influence of the spiritual root on the Xuanming Dao is the most important thing. ”

As soon as Tao Ling's words came out, it was basically determined that You Ziji would inevitably be left behind. The monks began to discuss how to teach the guide Ziji and lead him to the "right path" without being affected by the gods.

"But there is no need to worry about this, we have a lot of collections in Xuanming Dao, and we are not afraid that he has a big appetite, as long as it does not involve the core and wants to learn something, he will learn it."

"But it's not good to let him practice indiscriminately, if this good seedling is ruined, there must always be a charter."

"Linggen is a genius, I think it's better to let him practice by himself like that Linggen senior, maybe he can supplement the method of the six qi."

"The method of the six qi is really mysterious, what realm is he, he can't do it now, it's better to lay the foundation first."

Hao Lianfeng was very familiar with Dongfang Dark, so he pulled Dongfang Dark and asked, "What is the qualification of this doll?" How talented are you in every aspect? Is it really impossible to use a sword? ”

Dongfang secretly replied: "I'm afraid that's not only that, he has an excellent talent, not much worse than his second nephew Gu Xuan, and Chang's nephew also mentioned that You Ziji is very sensitive to aura, and his talent for refining talismans is excellent, but he is a little biased." ”

The long-haired Taoist priest named Le Qi immediately became interested, "If you are good at drawing talismans, then I will teach you." ”

Dongfang Yan hurriedly said: "Senior brother, don't worry, although he can draw talismans, he can't use them." ”

"What is this saying?"

Not only Le Qi, but also the master in the main hall who knew some news in advance were very surprised.

In front of the curious eyes of more than a dozen top monks in the world, even Dongfang Dark couldn't bear it, "I don't know what the reason is, I only know that he can't use foreign objects such as weapons and talismans, and the dozens of swords refined by the Ji family in my hand seem to be of inferior quality in his hands, but for some reason, he broke after a few sword moves, and the little seedling in my hand seems to be very afraid of him." ”

"Oh? Xiao Miao is a sword spirit, and he can make him afraid, is there still someone in the world who specializes in restraining fairy swords and sword cultivation? What kind of strange physique is this, show me the broken sword. ”

The first to speak was still Hao Lianfeng, he was a rare refining master in the world, Hao Lianfeng's name was unknown to everyone in the refining world, but he spent most of his time studying the principle of refining, and compared with several other grandmasters, his reputation outside the refining world was much smaller. Besides, refining weapons is just his hobby, and he occasionally refines some unique and unique products, and there are very few heirlooms.

Dongfang secretly took out the broken swords piled up like a small mountain, Hao Lianfeng looked at them carefully, and said: "It doesn't look like it's broken by an external force, but it looks like it's caused by inadequate refining and internal defects." But it is impossible for each of these swords to have problems, and they have all been caught up by this doll. Could it be that he could use his instinct to detect the problem with the magic weapon? The old man is really getting more and more interested in this doll. ”

At this moment, his eyes lit up as if he had found something very beloved, and he couldn't wait to hold it in his hand immediately.

When Zhangjiao Tao Ling heard this, the corners of his eyebrows unconsciously raised.

Dongfang secretly continued: "Not only the sword, he seems to be unable to use any magic weapon, either damaged or violent, the talisman released by his hand will definitely explode uncontrollably." Therefore, Chang's nephew specially taught him the talisman before he could use it. ”

Hao Lianfeng couldn't suppress his curiosity anymore, and got up and shouted: "Senior brother, such a disciple must let him cooperate with me, and I am willing to devote all my resources to cultivating him." ”

Na Leqi was not willing to be down, and said: "Senior brother, if this disciple cooperates with me, there will inevitably be new progress in Fu Qi, and I am willing to cultivate him with Senior Brother Hao." ”

The monks in the main hall expressed their opinions and wanted to study the differences between You Ziji.

The head of the sect hesitated, as if he couldn't make up his mind.

"The two junior disciples of Chu Jiang and Han Jing once said that this sub-root bone is very suitable for sword practice, and the senior brother of Dongfang can understand it in detail."

Dongfang Dark's emotions were a little excited, and he said, "I did try, otherwise there would not be such a broken sword." Senior brothers, this disciple is really a natural sword cultivator, except for the fact that he can't learn swordsmanship and can't use swordsmanship, everything else is very compatible with sword cultivation, which is really a pity. ”

The monks thought about it for a long time, and they all felt a little embarrassed.

Jiang Shui suddenly had an idea and asked, "Senior Brother Dongfang, he understands sword intent. ”

After hearing this, all the monks' eyes lit up, yes, if you can't use sword weapons and sword techniques, then you can directly use sword intent, Xuanming Dao has fist techniques, palm techniques and spells based on sword intent.

Dongfang sighed secretly and said, "I don't understand." ”

The monks' eyes dimmed, so they had to continue to meditate.

Dongfang Dark seemed to have thought of a solution, and suddenly said: "Bitter Zen Buddhism seems to be more suitable for You Ziji. ”

As soon as this remark came out, it caused a response, "Speaking of which, this kid is really suitable, and the bitter Zen sect has always only cultivated one's own body, without the help of external forces." ”

"If we have the opportunity, we will not waste this child's talent, but the Bitter Zen Sect travels around and cultivates, who knows where they are?"

At this time, Tao Ling suddenly interrupted, "This method is not allowed, the Kuzen Sect already has a heavy responsibility, and it is not possible to add more responsibilities, besides, You Ziji is the spiritual root, and it is easy to expose the whereabouts of several high-ranking monks of the Kuzen Sect, and the gains and losses outweigh the losses in our cultivation world." Brothers, please be calm and wait a few days to discuss this child's spiritual path. Senior Brother Dongfang, you can continue to guard the mountain gate. ”

Although Dongfang Dark left, the monks' curiosity about You Ziji did not decline, and even the head of the sect had no interest in continuing to discuss the Tao, so he had to disband in advance.

All the monks returned to the cave, leaving only Taoling alone. Moments later, he also departed from this place.

……

Taoling came to a mountain peak, there is no magnificent and beautiful scenery here, just facing the afternoon sun, a sloppy old road lying on a stone platform to bask in the sun, very comfortable.

Lao Dao heard the movement, got up and took a look, saw that it was the master, and lay back again, looking like he loved to answer.

"What are you doing here, the sun is so good here, I don't have any extra space for you."

Tao Ling ignored the meaning of the sloppy Daoist's mouth, "I just want to discuss with Senior Brother Dongfang, do you want to let my Senior Brother stand and talk to you?" ”

Lao Dao pursed his lips, got up reluctantly, and moved his buttocks, "You don't like the Hall of Eternal Life, and you shouldn't rob me of the stone pier of this old beggar." ”

Tao Ling laughed, no longer the compassionate and holy appearance in the Hall of Eternal Life, more like a kind old man.

"Isn't there something to ask for junior brother?"

"What can bother the master to find me, this weirdo."

Tao Ling was a little helpless, although the two had been together for decades, he still didn't get used to the quirks of the junior brother in front of him who often blackened himself, he suppressed the impetuousness that floated from the bottom of his heart, and said in a friendly tone: "Naturally, it is a weird character like you who needs you to come out." ”

"Oh? Is there such an interesting person? ”

Seeing that the sloppy Taoist was interested, Tao Ling gave a general explanation of the matter of the entry of Youziji.

"Since some of the senior brothers are willing to cultivate, they will naturally go, and I am not interested in what the master is looking for me to do, so I will not go."

"In our Xuanming Dao, when it comes to fist and foot kung fu, we are headed by our junior brother, and only you can be his master."

"Don't put a top hat on me, if you don't go, you won't go."

The sloppy Taoist seemed resolute, but Tao Ling's tone was still flat, and said: "This is a disaster that your brother found, he put the spiritual root in without permission, and if it causes losses, it will be counted on his head." But it can be big or small, it's up to you to do it. ”

"Okay, you Taoling, aren't you threatening me?"

"Dongfang Ming, you have to think about it, if your brother can't be a gatekeeper on a business trip, don't say that I didn't give you a chance. Now, Xuan Mingdao, besides your brother, there are many people waiting to see your jokes. ”

"You, where do you still have the appearance of a senior brother."

"Hmph, who let you provoke the affair when you were young, and now our brother and sister are coming to you, if you can trust others, don't help, don't let your brother guard the door."

Dongfang trembled brightly, but finally compromised, "Say, what do you need me to do?" ”

Tao Ling looked like he had won a battle, "This disciple can't use magic weapons, these things will be studied by other senior brothers, you just need to lay a good foundation for him." ”

"What should I do, I can't use weapons, then refine my body, what do you want me to do, go to Old Man Hao."

Dongfang Ming said that, turned over and lay down again, ignoring Tao Ling.

"You."

"It's you who do more, Old Man Hao's body refining method is excellent, plus he can often use that new disciple to try to solve the mystery of not being able to use weapons, isn't it just right."

"How can it be so simple, if it is really just to learn boxing and kicking, wouldn't it be better for me to take him to Kuzen Buddhism."

Dongfang Ming's eyes lit up, "That's reasonable, senior brother, you have also enlightened, those who can work hard, some things are not something we can do, and the master of the Bitter Zen Sect can teach him the best." ”

Tao Ling suddenly said: "How can this matter be so simple. The bitter Zen sect has a heavy responsibility, cultivating a person who has wasted a lot of energy, and is tossed by the spiritual root, I am afraid that many years of planning will fall short, how can this boy be handed over to them again, besides, this son is very close to my way. We also need to take some responsibility. ”

"This kid is so important?"

Dongfang Ming heard Tao Ling's words and was very curious, but Tao Ling obviously didn't want to talk to him in detail.

"There are some things that haven't been decided yet, let's talk about it later."

"Hmph, doesn't Senior Brother know that my mastery was known by the spiritual root and the gods, and then passed on to Heaven? Is my mastery so worthless? I can't even change the news. ”

Tao Ling still ignored him and said, "I have already said that many heavenly opportunities have come out, if you really want to know, go and explore it yourself." ”

After saying that, Tao Ling stepped on the auspicious clouds, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

"What's the use of you running so fast, every time you hide in the Hall of Eternal Life, you find a quasi, naïve."

Dongfang Ming was unhappy for a while, and secretly sighed that this old boy's concentration is getting better and better, thinking that I often made him angry at the beginning, and his mood is so stable today.

"I can't spare anything now, let's go see how the new disciple is doing."

In the distance, Tao Ling looked at the big pit under his feet, and silently recited the heart mantra in his heart, "Alas, my cultivation is still not enough, and I was still affected by that bastard after all." ”

……

Dongfang Ming came to the foot of Tianliang Peak Mountain, and saw You Ziji cleaning up the house alone, he didn't know why, the moment he saw You Ziji, he liked it very much, and unconsciously said the same thing as his younger brother.

"This kid is naturally suitable for swordsmanship, why can't he use weapons, it's a pity, it must be that these mediocre talents haven't developed his talent, I want to try him."

Dongfang Ming saw that You Ziji had extinguished the candle, so he quietly sneaked over, with the strength of his Moon Realm, this huge was really a bit too cautious, and You Ziji would never find out.

He leaned in front of the window, carried the sword qi in his right hand, and felt the direction of You Ziji with his divine sense, the sword qi was stimulated, penetrating the window lattice, You Ziji was aware in advance, and he had already taken precautions, and a palm was split, containing extremely condensed palm power, although it could not completely repel the sword qi, but it was very easy to knock it off.

Hearing only the sound of "bang", the sword qi submerged into the rammed ground in the house.

But he said that You Ziji couldn't find Dongfang Ming, but his five senses were really magical and mysterious, and the body in it would immediately have a sense after being swept by the divine consciousness of others, which gave You Ziji a chance to react in advance.

Dongfang Ming saw You Ziji's reaction outside the window, and said secretly, "What an alert boy." He shot again, his purpose was to let You Ziji become familiar with the power of sword qi as soon as possible, and see if You Ziji had any kendo talent.

The sword qi attacked, although the power did not change, but the density was greater, and You Ziji could no longer stand in place to resist, so he had to use his body to dodge, and he really couldn't avoid it, so he used his palm power to hit the crooked sword qi.

It's just that there are more and more sword qi, and it is more and more troublesome for You Ziji to resist, he roughly guessed the direction of Dongfang Ming, and directly summoned the Samadhi True Fire to burn near the window.

Dongfang Ming was not afraid of this flame, but he was very surprised, "This is the true fire of samadhi, how can people use the true fire of samadhi?" He stretched out his hand and punched out the wind pressure, which directly extinguished the samadhi true fire. You Ziji was shocked, knowing that the person in the dark was definitely a master above the Moon Gaze Realm.

"This senior, the disciple is a disciple who has recently entered the Xuanming Dao, but he is not a villain."

Dongfang Ming secretly praised You Ziji for his intelligence, but he was merciless.

Suddenly, a coquettish voice came from afar, "Where did you come from, you actually bullied my little junior brother of Xuanming Dao." ”

The voice came from far and near, at a very fast speed, Dongfang Ming said in trouble, "It's Yunying's girl who is here, I have to leave quickly, otherwise there will be nothing good to eat in the future." ”

Dongfang Ming's figure turned, turned into a hazy sword intent, and dispersed his body.

On a mountain peak two or three miles away, a very handsome young Taoist priest blocked Dongfang Ming here, he was in his early twenties, similar to Chang Yunbai, but the aura he emitted was already the breath of a monk in the Moon Gazing Realm.

"What is Uncle Shi doing here?"
