Chapter 281: Thousand-Year Lingzhi
"That's right, this mirror can reflect the world deep within us, allowing us to face our past and our hearts." Zhao Qi said with a solemn expression, "Only people with pure hearts and strong wills can obtain its recognition." ”
"So who's going to try it first?" Zhang Youyuan asked eagerly.
"I'll do it first." Zhao Qi took a deep breath and stepped forward. He stood in front of the mirror, staring at his own reflection.
Gradually, he felt his mind wrapped in a soft force, as if he had entered a mysterious world.
In the treasure mirror, Zhao Qi saw his past. He saw his dreams and pursuits as a child, and saw the setbacks and tribulations he had experienced.
These memories made him feel an inexplicable emotion in his heart, and his eyes moistened slightly.
But Zhao Qi did not immerse himself in the world of the past, and he soon returned to reality. He felt that his heart had become more pure and firm, as if he had undergone a baptism and sublimation.
"I saw my past and I saw my heart." Zhao Qi said with emotion, "This treasure mirror is really magical. ”
Next, Yi Wuxiao, Zhang Youyuan, Qian Wushuang and others also stood in front of the treasure mirror in turn, facing their hearts and the past.
Everyone has experienced the baptism and sublimation of their hearts, and they have also strengthened their beliefs and goals.
In the process, they also discovered differences and similarities with each other.
When everyone stepped out of the mirror, they felt as if they had been reborn. They not only gained the recognition of the treasure mirror, but also gained inner growth and strength.
At this moment, a dazzling light fell from the sky, enveloping Zhao Qi and the others.
When they opened their eyes again, they found that the magical mirror had disappeared, and they came to a majestic mountain range. Towering into the sky, this mountain range is majestic, as if it is the backbone of the earth.
Zhao Qi and the others stood at the foot of the mountain, looking up at this majestic peak, and couldn't help but feel awe in their hearts.
Zhao Qi stood in front of the mountain gate of Tianyangmen, looking into the distance, his face full of joy.
Behind them, Yi Wuxiao, Zhang Youyuan, Qian Wushuang and others were also excited, they patted each other's shoulders, laughed and shared all kinds of interesting things about this experience.
"I'm finally back, and the scenery of the sect is still comfortable!" Zhao Qi took a deep breath of the fresh mountain air and sighed.
"Yes, although I have gained a lot from this experience, I have also suffered a lot, and it is great to be able to return to the sect." Yi Wuxiao echoed.
As they spoke, everyone walked towards the sect.
When the disciples along the way saw them coming back, they all stepped forward to greet them and ask about their experience.
Zhao Qi and others were not stingy, sharing what they had seen and heard and their cultivation experience with everyone.
Walking into the depths of the sect, a familiar scene came into view. On the cultivation ground, the disciples were cultivating hard, their sword light flickering, and their internal strength was surging.
Zhao Qi and the others couldn't help but itch their hands and wanted to go up and have a discussion.
"Senior Brother Zhao, you're back!" A crisp voice came, and everyone turned their heads to see that it was Chen Yuhe walking over.
"Well, just came back. Look at the way you guys, you're cultivating well! Zhao Qi praised with a smile.
"Where, where, it's far from you." Chen Yuhe said modestly.
After a few pleasantries, everyone decided to go to the stone table to play chess and drink tea to relax.
On the chessboard, black and white chess pieces staggered and fell, and everyone's thinking also ran rapidly. The fragrance of tea rises, accompanied by light-hearted laughter, and the scene is warm and harmonious.
Inside Tianyangmen, in a quiet courtyard, several stone tables are placed haphazardly, surrounded by a verdant bamboo forest.
Sunlight shines through the cracks in the bamboo leaves and dapples onto the tabletop. Zhao Qi, Yi Wuxiao, Zhang Youyuan and others sat around a table, leisurely playing chess and drinking tea.
"Haha, Brother Qi, you made the wrong move this time!" Yi Wuxiao laughed, dropped a son, and looked at Zhao Qi proudly.
Zhao Qi smiled slightly, disapproving: "Wuxiao, don't be too proud, be careful of being happy and sad." ”
"Hehe, Brother Qi, don't be stubborn. Look at the situation, you are already out of luck. Zhang Youyuan also joined in the fun.
At this moment, Lan Lingling and Chen Yuhe walked hand in hand, and when they saw that everyone was playing chess and drinking tea, they also came over. "Oops, I'm coming too!" Lan Lingling said excitedly.
"Lingling, you have to be careful, we are like a master here." Yi Wuxiao teased.
"Hmph, don't underestimate me! I've learned a few tricks from Sister Wan'er! Lan Lingling pouted unconvinced.
Everyone laughed when they heard this. Chen Yuhe sat on the side with a smile and watched the chess game quietly. Her gaze wandered over everyone's faces from time to time, and her heart was full of warmth and satisfaction.
The game continued, and the laughter and ridicule of the crowd came and went.
Although Lan Lingling is not good at chess, her lively and lovely personality has brought a lot of joy to everyone. Whenever she made a wrong move, it provoked a wave of good-natured ridicule and ridicule.
"Oops, how did I go wrong again!" Lan Lingling patted his head in annoyance.
"Haha, Lingling, you have to practice your chess skills well." Zhao Qi said with a smile.
"It's just, you see what we've been teasing about." Yi Wuxiao also agreed.
Hearing this, Lan Lingling pretended to be angry and pouted: "Hmph, you know how to bully me!" Sister Yuhe, you don't help me! ”
Chen Yuhe chuckled when he heard this: "Lingling, you can't blame me for this." I can't protect myself. As she spoke, she pointed to the chess game in front of her, only to see that her chess pieces had been eaten to pieces.
Seeing this, everyone burst into laughter again. Lan Lingling couldn't help but burst into tears and laughed: "Okay, it seems that we will not be able to escape today." ”
In this way, everyone played chess, drank tea, and chatted at the stone table, and spent a warm and pleasant afternoon.
The sun shines on them, as if they also praise this warmth and joy.
Their laughter and conversation echoed through the courtyard, making for a beautiful picture.
When the afterglow of the setting sun sprinkled on the mountain gate of Tianyangmen, everyone reluctantly ended this gathering.
After saying goodbye to each other, they went back to their homes. Although the time together is short, the warmth and joy are enough for them to remember.
Early the next morning, on the cultivation ground of Tianyangmen, the sunlight sprinkled through the sparse clouds, dyeing this bluestone-paved field with a faint gold.
Zhao Qi, Yi Wuxiao and Zhang Youyuan stood side by side, their eyes firm, and their bodies trembled slightly with the flow of internal breath.
"Brother Qi, how did you gain from this experience?" Yi Wuxiao took the time to ask after swinging a sword. The tip of his sword made an elegant arc in the air, and the sword wind roared.
Zhao Qi smiled slightly, and asked instead of answering: "What do you think?" Can my swordsmanship improve? As he spoke, his body moved, turned into an afterimage, and attacked Yi Wuxiao.
Yi Wuxiao smiled and raised his sword to greet him. The tips of their swords collided in the air, making a crisp metallic resonance.
"It's not a small growth! Looks like I'm going to have to work harder, too! Yi Wuxiao felt the power coming from Zhao Qijian, and secretly admired it in his heart.
Seeing this, Zhang Youyuan on the side couldn't help but join the battle group. He held the sword in both hands, and broke it with strength, and each sword was powerful and heavy, forcing Zhao Qi and Yi Wuxiao to retreat again and again.
"Fate, how did your swordsmanship become so strong?" Zhao Qi teased while resisting Zhang Youyuan's attack.
"Haha, this is all my realization in the experience! How's that, not bad, right? Zhang Youyuan smiled proudly.
In this way, the three of them were learning swordsmanship and internal skills on the cultivation ground, and the atmosphere was both tense and harmonious. Their figures staggered in the sunlight, and the sword light flickered, as if even the air had been cut open.
Not far away, some disciples of Tianyangmen also gathered together to cultivate.
They meditated and breathed, slashed with their swords, or practiced against each other, and everyone was immersed in the atmosphere of cultivation and worked hard to improve their strength.
In this cultivation field, everyone understands a truth: the path of cultivation is like sailing against the current, and if you don't advance, you will retreat.
Therefore, none of them dared to slack off in the slightest, and only by constantly working hard and fighting hard could they go further on the path of cultivation.
Zhao Qi and the others also felt a little tired after discussing for a while. They put away their swords and walked to a large rock on the sidelines to sit down and rest.
"Whew~ It's really happy! This kind of competition can make us grow faster! Yi Wuxiao wiped the sweat from her forehead and said happily.
"That's right! And we can learn from each other and complement each other's strengths. Zhang Youyuan also nodded and agreed.
Zhao Qi looked at the two of them with a smile, feeling extremely relieved in his heart. He knew that with such a friend by his side, his cultivation path would no longer be lonely.
At this moment, a crisp voice came: "Senior Brother Zhao Qi, Senior Brother Yi Wuxiao, Senior Brother Zhang Youyuan, you are here!" Everyone looked up, and it turned out to be Lan Lingling and Chen Yuhe walking over.
"Huh? Lingling, Yuhe, why did you come to the cultivation ground too? Zhao Qi asked with some surprise.
"Hehehe~ We're also here to cultivate! Seeing that you are so serious here, we are too embarrassed to disturb. Lan Lingling smiled mischievously.
"Haha, what's so embarrassing about that. Only by cultivating together can we progress faster! Yi Wuxiao said boldly.
So, the five of them joined the ranks of cultivation together.
They wielded swords, meditated, and breathed on the cultivation ground, learning from each other and encouraging each other, and the atmosphere became more and more harmonious.
The sun shines on them, as if they also praise their efforts and persistence. In this cultivation ground full of vitality and hope, everyone is full of longing and expectation for the future.
Inside Tianyang Gate, in a quiet cultivation area, Zhao Qizheng talked in a low voice with Yi Wuxiao and Zhang Youyuan.
Their faces were filled with excitement and anticipation, as if something big was about to happen.
"Brother Qi, have you heard? Recently, there is a rare elixir in the nearby mountains! ”
Yi Wuxiao said mysteriously, his eyes flashing with greed, as if he had seen the elixir beckoning to him.
Zhao Qi smiled slightly and nodded: "I also heard about it." This elixir is extremely rare, and if we can obtain it, it will be of great benefit to our cultivation. ”
His gaze revealed firmness and determination, and it was clear that he was determined to obtain this elixir.
"So what are we waiting for? Let's go and find it! Zhang Youyuan is impatient and can't wait to go.
Zhao Qi shook his head and motioned for him to be calm: "Although this elixir is tempting, there must be many dangers in the mountain range. We can't act rashly, we have to plan carefully. ”
Yi Wuxiao nodded approvingly: "Brother Qi is right. We must first understand the specific location and habits of the elixir, and then we can be fully prepared before we can set off. ”
So, in the days that followed, they began to get busy.
They were prepared to consult a large number of classics and learned the details and identification methods of "thousand-year-old Ganoderma lucidum".
They were also going to consult the elders in the sect who were good at alchemy, and learned how to preserve the medicinal effects of the elixir to the greatest extent.
The three of them discussed it and decided to go to the elders in the sect for advice first. They went to the House of Elders and asked a respected elder about the elixir.
The elders told them that the elixir was called "Thousand Year Lingzhi", which grew in a hidden valley deep in the mountains, and it had extremely high spiritual and medicinal effects.
After listening to the elder's story, Zhao Qi and the three of them looked at each other and smiled. They knew that this trip to find the elixir was not going to be easy, but they were well prepared and determined to find out.
Inside the Tianyang Gate, Zhao Qi, Yi Wuxiao, and Zhang Youyuan sat in a quiet room, and their faces were full of various ancient books and classics, all of which were preparing for the upcoming trip to collect medicines.
"Brother Qi, you read this book that the rare elixir 'Millennium Lingzhi' likes to grow in cool and humid valleys." Yi Wuxiao pointed to an ancient book and said.
Zhao Qi nodded and carefully recorded this information: "This is very important, we have to find a place that meets these conditions." ”
Zhang Youyuan was flipping through another book on the side, and suddenly his eyes lit up: "Hey, look here, the book says that the 'thousand-year-old Lingzhi' is usually accompanied by some special demon beasts. We need to be careful. ”
"Accompanied by monsters?" Yi Wuxiao's eyes widened, "Wouldn't that be more dangerous?" ”
Zhao Qi smiled, and a trace of firmness flashed in his eyes: "Danger and opportunity coexist, since we have decided to go, we must be fully prepared." ”
The three of them continued to immerse themselves in the study of the classics, exchanging ideas from time to time.
They not only learned about the growth environment and habits of the 'thousand-year-old Ganoderma lucidum', but also remembered its appearance characteristics and medicinal effects. At the same time, they also specially consulted the elders in the sect and learned some methods and skills for dealing with demon beasts.
In addition to theoretical knowledge, they also carried out practical preparations.
Zhao Qi took out his magic weapons and checked their state and power one by one. (End of chapter)
