Chapter 41 The New Year is coming, and the distinguished guests are coming
With the joyful sound of firecrackers, the New Year has arrived.
Except for Wang Xiao, the other official disciples of Liangentang are all children of the family, and they naturally want to go home to worship their ancestors during the New Year, and the other registered disciples or something, except for the local disciples in Chu County, have also returned to their homes. The Lotus Root Hall was much more common in time and space.
Wang Xiao spent the New Year with Xu Qinshuang, Li Youshan, senior sister Li Xianglian and Lao Hei.
Wang Xiao had a very happy New Year. Although there are nostalgia for his parents or something, this is the first time Wang Xiao has felt the atmosphere of the New Year in ancient China. A special taste of family affection minimizes Wang Xiao's sadness.
I have to say that Xu Qinshuang's status in Wang Xiao's heart has become higher and higher, and she is getting closer and closer.
After returning to Chu County from Fangcun Mountain, Wang Xiao immediately told Xu Qinshuang about reaching the middle of the human rank. Although Wang Xiao is ready to hide his strength in order to make himself safer on weekdays, Wang Xiao doesn't want to hide it from Xu Qinshuang in this regard, as Wang Xiao said before, if everyone has to guard against it in this world, it is too sad.
Of course, telling Xu Qinshuang the news as soon as possible is also a bit of a child who reports to his parents after getting good grades and wants to be praised. Wang Xiao is just a teenager after all. Who doesn't want to show off to their parents after getting good grades?
After Xu Qinshuang learned the news, she was also very surprised. A young man with the body of divine punishment, after half a year of cultivation, actually reached the middle of the human rank, even with the assistance of demon control, it was a miracle. Even a genius like Liu Zhenwu has laid the foundation since he was a child, and he only reached the middle of the human rank after two years of cultivation in the Lotus Root Hall.
Of course, when Xu Qinshuang saw the scars on Wang Xiao's body, she couldn't help but almost cry in distress, and she also understood why this disciple was able to advance to the middle of the human rank in such a short period of time. It's not just the effect of Demon Domination!
To the other Lotus Root Hall disciples, Wang Xiao naturally did not say the news that he had reached the middle of the human rank. Because such a speed of progress is really beyond common sense, if you show off at will, you may be noticed by someone who cares.
If it is found that Wang Xiao is carrying a demon decision, it will be a fatal thing.
Although the hidden strength has a kind of brocade night walk, Wang Xiao is still very happy recently.
At this time, Wang Xiao was already wearing a jade pendant with new clothes and shoes, and even the love snow sword had a rosewood scabbard, which looked quite a bit of a young man. This outfit was bought by Wang Xiao with his own money.
This time he went to Fangcun Mountain to cultivate, in addition to achieving the results of achieving the median rank of the human rank and cultivating the Demon Pill, Wang Xiao also had another unexpected gain.
It was the corpses of more than a dozen human-level mid-rank demon beasts.
The demon beast in the middle of the human rank is not a very precious thing, but it is also a demon beast.
Compared to ordinary beasts, monsters are worth more than their fur, bones, horns, and even meat. Generally speaking, an ordinary leopard and tiger can be worth seven or eight taels of silver, and a fox can also be sold for three or five taels, and even the price of a demon tiger and demon fox at the lower level of the human rank is more than ten times higher than that of ordinary beasts. (The effect of the Demon Tiger Tiger Whip is much stronger than that of ordinary tigers) and the price of the demon beast in the middle of the human rank is even higher.
Under Xu Qinshuang's Zhang Luo, this batch of demon beast corpses in the middle of the human rank were all sold at normal prices. Except for the two dolphins that no one wants to buy because they are not liked by the world, the other more than a dozen snow leopards, snow foxes, demon tigers, ground wolves, etc., have been sold at a good price, especially two bear paws and a tiger whip, all of which were purchased at a high price. After dealing with these demon beasts, Wang Xiao suddenly had savings of more than two thousand taels of silver, which made Wang Xiao's mouth smile crookedly.
Of course, Wang Xiao, who was poor and afraid, didn't even waste the porpoise, and made all the meat of the porpoise into bacon and ham, and the fur was made into a mattress after washing, and he shared a bed with Lao Hei. Although the dolphin is a cross between a bear and a pig, because it lives in the deep mountains and coincides with the winter moulting, the fur is really warmer than the fur of a polar bear. After being smoked by craftsmen, not only the fishy smell and demonic spirit are removed, but even the original hard hair is soft and soft like cotton wool. Spread on the bed, more comfortable than two more quilts.
If you have money, the New Year is naturally very enjoyable. Big fish and meat all day long, plus high-end snacks, made Wang laugh and sigh corruption.
In the atmosphere of the New Year, Wang Xiao, who is determined to become stronger, is also lazy. Anyway, Lao Hei also said that Wang Xiao has just advanced to the middle of the human rank, and more consolidation is the right way, and Wang Xiao has not practiced hard as if he was masochistic except for daily meditation.
This New Year's atmosphere of eating, drinking and merrymaking Wang Xiao felt a little lazy, but soon, this lazy life ended because of an accident.
In the early morning just after the Lantern Festival, Wang Xiao, who was lazily lying on the skin of the dolphin, was awakened by a fierce knock on the door.
"Senior lazy brother, get up quickly!Why are you still sleeping!" Li Xianglian's voice came from outside the door.
Wang Xiao woke up, sat up, and shouted to the door, "Senior sister, is there something wrong?"
"Stupid, have you forgotten that you are going to greet Senior Aunt Li from the sect today?oh, by the way, I forgot to tell you yesterday......" Li Xianglian said, her voice lowered in embarrassment.
Wang Xiao was speechless. It turned out that Li Xianglian forgot ......
But you can't blame Li Xianglian, Wang Xiao smiled bitterly, and said loudly: "Senior sister, don't worry, I'll get up immediately." It's just, what is the origin of this Aunt Li?"
Li Xianglian smiled and said outside the door: "I watched the lanterns yesterday, but I forgot to remind you." You also know that our Lotus Root Hall is the grassroots sect of the Qinglian Sect, and every few years the sect will send people to check on us, and if we meet good seedlings, we will be promoted and brought back to the sect. But it's very strange, it stands to reason that it shouldn't be until the end of this year, after Xiao Fengming, but I don't know why a senior aunt is coming over now. ”
At the moment Li Xianglian said, Wang Xiao had already quickly dressed up. After Li Xianglian finished speaking, Wang Xiao had already cleaned up and walked to the door to open the door for Li Xianglian.
Li Xianglian entered the door, stared at Wang Xiao a few times, and nodded with satisfaction: "Senior Brother Wang, your appearance is really good, go and freshen up." Senior brother, they went home to save their relatives, and now the official disciples of the Lotus Root Hall are you and me. After all, I am a daughter's family, and I will entertain the entourage of that aunt for a while, but it is mainly up to you. Behave better, don't lose the face of our Lotus Root Hall. ”
Hearing Li Xianglian praise herself for her good looks, Wang Xiao was very proud, at this time, Wang Xiao's feelings for Li Xianglian in her heart were already very close to the emotions of brothers, sisters and brothers, and she was not as good as before, so she only smiled: "Senior sister is also becoming more and more beautiful, but I don't know what kind of person Senior Aunt Li is, if it is too ugly, I don't dare to let you entertain you, senior sister." ”
"Why don't you dare let me entertain?"
"Because Senior Sister is so beautiful and naturally beautiful and lovely, how many women in Chu County can not be ashamed of themselves in front of you? Then Senior Aunt Li doesn't know what she looks like, but she also has an identity, if Senior Sister compares that Senior Aunt Li too badly, but doesn't she wipe the face of the head sect?"
Li Xianglian laughed when she heard this: "You, you are a flamboyant tongue." Okay, okay, I'll go to the front hall and wait for you, and then we'll go to the hall to find my father and report. ”
After a little washing, Wang Xiao and Li Xianglian arrived at the empty lotus root hall together.
At this time, Liu Zhenwu and the others had already gone home to save their relatives, and less than half of the other registered disciples and apprentices were left, and the entire Lotus Root Hall was very cold.
Li Youshan and Xu Qinshuang had already taken the other disciples to prepare, and after Wang Xiao and Li Xianglian arrived, Li Youshan took Wang Xiao and Li Xianglian and six registered disciples with good facial features and good shape to take two carriages to the east of the city together.
There is still some distance between Liangentang and the eastern city of Chu County, and the streets are crowded with people during the New Year, so the two carriages walk very slowly. Bored on the way, Wang Xiao secretly asked Li Xianglian: "Senior sister, what is the origin of this Senior Aunt Li, where are we going to greet him?"
Li Xianglian replied in a low voice: "Chu County is a big city, and monks are forbidden to fly in the city. Aunt Li is said to have flown in a flying machine, so they can't come directly to my Lotus Root Hall, we need to go outside the city to greet them, so we can show respect. This Aunt Li's name is Li Xinyun, and she is the daughter of the sect master of the Crazy Poetry Hall in the Sect, although she is only twenty-two years old, her rank is as high as her father. ”
Flying with a weapon is so extravagant! Wang Xiao exclaimed.
Although there are many people in the Shura Realm, it is not idle to be able to fly. This flying artifact is absolutely a high-end luxury, equivalent to a private jet on earth. Wang Xiao was amazed for a while, and then asked, "Crazy Poetry Hall?"
Today's Wang Xiao is no longer the rookie he was at the beginning, he knows a lot about the Xiuzhen sect in the Shura world, and Wang Xiao also knows most of the things in the Qinglian Sect. At least, Wang Xiao already knew what Shizong was.
The Qinglian Sect was founded by the poet immortal Li Bai and has been around for 10,000 years.
In the past 10,000 years, the Qinglian Sect has gradually divided into two factions, namely the "Sword Sect" which focuses on swordsmanship and sword techniques, and the "Poetry Sect" which focuses on poetry and magic. The former believed that Li Bai was a sword immortal, and that the Qinglian Sect should be based on swordsmanship. Later, he thought that Li Bai was a poet immortal, and he was based on poetry. Liangentang belongs to the family of poetry.
Although the Sword Sect and the Poetry Sect have different ideas, they both belong to the same sect after all, and although there are occasional disputes, they are still harmonious in general. At least when there is a foreign enemy, the two sects are absolutely unanimous with the outside world. For thousands of years, the leaders of the Poetry Sect and the Sword Sect have taken turns to serve as the head of the Qinglian Sect, which can be regarded as relative harmony.
Wang Xiao knew the difference between the Sword Sect and the Poetry Sect, but Wang Xiao still didn't know what this Crazy Poetry Hall was.
Li Xianglian took the trouble to explain: "The Crazy Poetry Hall is a branch hall founded by a genius of our Poetry Sect three thousand years ago. You also know that the techniques of our Qinglian Sect are all derived from the verses of Immortal Master Li Taibai. However, since my Qinglian Sect was divided into the Sword Sect and the Poetry Sect five thousand years ago, the Sword Sect has continuously developed some new sword techniques, but the techniques of our Poetry Sect are still only those handed down by the Taibai Immortal Master. Although the immortal master's poetic techniques are all proud of the world, but in the past 10,000 years, after my Qinglian Sect became famous, many of the techniques have been known to the world, and it is difficult to have a surprising victory against the enemy. ”
Wang smiled and understood.
Li Xianglian admired her face: "But three thousand years ago, my poetry sect produced a genius, Xue Qingyun. He actually used the secret of longevity as the foundation and created many new poems on his own. And the verses used in these poems are of his own making. ”
Xue Qingyun's story is a bit long, and Li Xianglian talked for a while before she gave a rough idea of Xue Qingyun's story.
Wang Xiao listened carefully for a while, and basically understood.
This Li Bai really deserves to be a poet immortal, is a peerless Tianjiao who can create a new atmosphere, his longevity formula is not a rigid law, in fact, not only Li Bai's own poems can become a gorgeous and powerful spell under the guidance of the "longevity formula" mental method, even other poems that are elegant enough and talented enough can also be stimulated and released with the longevity formula.
It's just that before Xue Qingyun, no one dared to think and do it so much, and no one used the immortal decision to enable other poems to decide.
And this Xue Qingyun is also a peerless talent, although his talent may not be as good as Li Bai, but compared to others, he is far better.
As a result, Xue Qingyun became the first person to eat crabs.
Xue Qingyun used the longevity formula as the foundation to create his own poetry.
This time, the whole world was shocked.
Although Xue Qingyun has successfully created only five poems in his life, it has added a new vitality to the long-dormant Poetry Sect and even the Qinglian Sect.
Since then, the Qinglian Sect has gradually had a new "poetic decision" appear.
Xue Qingyun called himself "Poetry Maniac", and the branch hall he created was called "Crazy Poetry Hall".
Of course, not all verses can be intertwined with the elixir of immortality to become "poetic decisions" that can be used to cast spells, only some verses that are really beautiful and can be recognized and approved by the world. Moreover, perhaps because of Li Bai's own temperament, those graceful poems can't resonate with the longevity formula, and they can't be turned into "poetic decisions" with magic effects.
The most difficult thing about new poetry is that new poetry is not something that everyone can learn. Over the past few thousand years, many people have been able to create their own poems, but these poems can often only be used by themselves, cannot be taught, and cannot be passed on.
Therefore, the poems that are mainly used to teach and learn are still only Li Bai's.
Of course, even though many disciples of the Qinglian Poetry Sect only have one or two new poetry duels in their lives, they can also give him a great advantage in the competition.
It's a pity that this is still only the strength of the individual, and it is still difficult for the entire Wild Poetry Hall to be on its own.
What makes it even more difficult for new poetry to emerge is that literature and art are often born only in times of peace and prosperity. The Shura realm is constantly in turmoil, and it is not a hotbed of poetry. It can even be said to be unceremoniously that the environment of the Shura realm is the graveyard of art and poetry.
In fact, except for Li Bai's poems, which have been passed down because they were inherited by the Qinglian Sect, many other poems have been annihilated in the history of the 10,000-year war in the Shura Realm. The three hundred Tang poems in Wang Xiao's memory are no longer complete in the entire Shura world. The beautiful poems that appeared in the "ancient" Tang Dynasty have been handed down after 10,000 years of war.
(PS: The destruction of civilization by war and barbarism is not an exaggeration.) In real China alone, from Qin Shi Huang's burning of books and Confucianism, to Dong Zhuo's burning of Luoyang, as well as the invasion of Mengyuan and the entry of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, the destruction of civilization was terrible and pathetic. Take the recent entry of the Manchu Qing Dynasty as an example, there were more than 20,000 books circulating among the people in the Ming Dynasty at that time, but in the Qianlong period of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, only 3,000 books remained. Some of them have also been tampered with. It is almost impossible to imagine how much civilization and art have been lost. )
In the 10,000-year history of the Shura world, there may be many poetic geniuses, but there are very few who have been appreciated and handed down.
However, no matter what, Xue Qingyun has left a strong mark in the history of the Blue Lotus Sect. Although the Rhapsody Hall he founded was originally just a "hall", a small "hall" similar to the Lotus Root Hall, but now, the status of the Rhapsody Hall has become the core organization of the Poetry Sect.
"Well, this Senior Sister Li Xinyun Li is now the young hall master of the Crazy Poetry Hall. It's just very strange, why did you choose this time to come? Senior brother, they are ......not here," Li Xianglian wondered.
Wang Xiao was about to say something, but he heard Li Youshan's voice coming:
"Disciples, get out of the car and wait here for the sect master. ”
It turned out that he had already gone out of the city gate.
Wang Xiao and Li Xianglian immediately reined in their minds and stepped out of the carriage solemnly.
The two apprentices carried a table from the carriage, and Li Youshan burned a piece of incense.
This incense only has firelight, but no smoke, but it is the magic incense that some major sects have and is used to transmit messages.
According to Wang Xiao's understanding, this incense has a bit of a positioning system.
After a while, a rainbow light suddenly crossed the sky.
Then, a huge, scroll-shaped object appeared in the air.
