Chapter 16: The Ancestral Mountain Oaths
Liang Yu was stunned at first when he heard this, in his heart, Long Jiao was tantamount to a life-saving benefactor, and that delicate and lovely appearance... But after all, the master specially said that it would not be good for him to ask too much, so he could only agree: "The disciple knows!"
The master and apprentice walked around the fairy forest and encountered a total of five old locust trees, and when they finally walked out of the forest, there happened to be a slightly rugged mountain road in front of them.
From the base of the mountain, the mountain is slightly steep, with sharp and chiseled peaks towering into the sky, and clusters of dwarf trees and flowers scattered along the mountainside, and occasionally a few crooked-necked trees sticking out of the mountain.
"This is the most of the mountains in the secret realm, called the ancestral mountain, and according to legend, it was formed by the space when this secret realm was formed. Li Daoyuan said as he led Liang Yu along the mountain road into the mountain.
Coming to the ancestral mountain, Liang Yu suddenly felt that his whole body was wrapped in a cool feeling, and the slightest light spirit could not be stopped from drilling into the pores, Li Daoyuan looked at him with a comfortable face, and continued to introduce: "The aura of the Cave Heaven Secret Realm is ten times higher than that of the outside world, and the aura of this ancestral mountain is more than ten times higher than that outside the mountain, which is really a rare cultivation treasure." ”
The two walked along the mountain road for nearly half an hour, and finally stopped, only to see that there was a cave sealed by the stone gate not far away, and the stone slab above the stone gate had the words Xuanyang Cave written on it, Liang Yu remembered the master's road name Xuanyangzi, so it seems that this place is probably where the master and apprentice went today.
On both sides of the stone gate is a couplet, the upper couplet book "Out of the Dust into the World Xuanzong Mansion", the lower couplet book "Purple Qi East Comes to Pure Yang Immortal", Li Daoyuan knocked three times on the word "Xuan" and "Yang" respectively, and the stone gate sank!
"Come with me. Li Daoyuan said and went into the cave, and after Liang Yu also entered the cave, the stone gate slowly rose and closed, and the cave suddenly lit up, but it was not that there were lights in the cave, but fireflies flying around!
These fireflies are much larger and brighter than the outside, making people feel like they are in a starry sky, and there is the sound of gurgling water in the cave, but it is a small stream flowing from the spring on the cave wall.
The cave is narrow on the outside and wide on the inside, and the most spacious place inside is probably the same as the entire Foreign Affairs Hall, but there are obviously fewer fireflies in this spacious place, and its lighting depends on the ever-bright lights around it.
Li Daoyuan stood still in the middle of the scene, turned around with a solemn face, and said to Liang Yu: "Kneel down!"
When Liang Yu heard this, he quickly knelt down respectfully, listened to the master's teachings, and only listened to Li Daoyuan and said in a loud voice: "Liang Yu, you have spiritual roots and spiritual bones, excellent qualifications, enter my door in troubled times, although you are a disciple of the outer door, you must also abide by the rules of the door, do not forget the ancestral teachings, uphold good thoughts, eliminate demons and defend the way, and glorify the master!
Who can not be moved by this situation, Liang Yu nodded heavily and replied: "Disciple Liang Yu, you will live up to the teachings of your teacher!"
"Do you dare to swear?" Li Daoyuan's eyes had a stern look in his eyes that could not be refused.
Liang Yu said solemnly: "What the teacher said is also what Liang Yu thinks, and you can swear by yourself!"
"Okay!" After Li Daoyuan finished speaking, he took out a table from his sleeve and handed it to Liang Yu, Liang Yu saw that what was written on it was the oath he just said, he understood the master's intentions, and immediately bit his fingertips, dripped blood on the table, and ignited the table and solemnly swore an oath: "Liang Yu, a disciple of Li Daoyuan, the foreign affairs elder of the Dongxian Sect, swears: In the future, I will abide by the rules of the door, do not forget the ancestral teachings, uphold good thoughts, eliminate demons and defend the way, and glorify the master, if there is a violation, I am willing to suffer the punishment of heaven!"
Seeing that the surface culture was ashes, Li Daoyuan nodded with satisfaction, and after he helped Liang Yu up with pity, he continued: "The Eastern Immortal Sect has always taken the Ziyang Xuanzhen Gong as the foundation of cultivation, and those who have cultivated the Nine Folds can manipulate the five elements, scatter beans into soldiers, and all kinds of mystical spells have endless changes, but this Xuangong alone is not enough to make a name for itself in the Xuanmen of the world..."
Liang Yu remembered that Li Daoyuan had said that it was extremely difficult to cultivate the Ziyang Xuanzhen Gong to the ninth level, but when he heard this, it seemed that there was another heaven and earth outside the ninth level?
Li Daoyuan flicked a hand, stretched his arm and waved it to his side, and a translucent painting curtain appeared in that empty place! On the painting screen was a Taoist who was constantly changing his steps and handprints, and with every change of that Taoist person, various spectacular images would appear on his body or beside him: he was sometimes dressed in the glow of the sun, sometimes he unleashed a large scene of thunder and fire in his gestures, or all kinds of strange beasts suddenly appeared around him... It's dizzying!
Liang Yuzheng could see it, Li Daoyuan suddenly put his hand away, and the curtain disappeared suddenly, Li Daoyuan smiled and said: "With your supreme qualifications, if you are not slack, this kind of mysterious method will be able to be comprehended, but if you follow the rules of the door, outer disciples are not allowed to practice this method... But I Li Daoyuan has to teach you! This is all because there must be a hero reincarnated in the troubled times, and after the things of Chang Xuyun, as a teacher, in terms of qualifications and conduct, no one in the entire sect can match you!"
Liang Yu thanked the master and said, "But with the master teaching me, the disciple will practice diligently!"
Li Daoyuan came to a stone room in Xuanyang Cave with Liang Yu's hand, and there was a one-person-high stone statue in the middle of the stone room, the statue was carved lifelikely, full of fairy spirit, and he was carrying a sword behind him, although his demeanor was peaceful, but it gave people a sense of not being angry and arrogant.
Li Daoyuan burned incense at the statue and said: "Disciple Li Daoyuan, I want to pass on the "Twelve Secret Techniques of Taiyi" to the outer disciple Liang Yu, if Liang Yu's words and deeds are contrary to the rules of the ancestors, Li Daoyuan is willing to be punished by the ancestor with him!"
After Li Daoyuan finished speaking, he took out a copper box from the dark compartment at the foot of the statue and handed it to Liang Yu: "You have the ability to remember the Chinese characters as soon as possible, and then you and I will go down the mountain." You are a disciple of the outer sect, and it is better for Zushan to come less, so as not to have another tongue. “
Liang Yu took the copper box gratefully, and took out a roll of bamboo slips from it, on which were all small seal characters that he had mastered when he first entered the school, and he read every word very carefully, for fear that something would go wrong.
Although the text was full of realms and methods that he couldn't comprehend for a while, he understood that the top priority was to just write down all the words on the bamboo slips, and the rest was a matter of course, but when he saw the end, he realized that the Taiyi Twelve Secret Techniques in his hand were just a volume...
Li Daoyuan took the bamboo slip and said: "The first volume of the twelve secret techniques of Taiyi only records one formula: divine blessing, two styles: crowning, three: Lingyun, four styles: peak annihilation, five styles: thunder punishment, and six styles: fire locusts. I and several other elders have a copy, depending on the qualifications and conduct of the disciples under the sect, but the whereabouts of the next volume have been unknown since the establishment of my sect, and only the heads of the sect and the elders of the past generations have passed it on by word of mouth. ”
After Li Daoyuan finished speaking, he asked Liang Yu to recite what he had read, and sure enough, word for word, he said earnestly: "According to the ancestral system of the sect, disciples must enter the sect for five, ten, and fifteen years, and they must pass the examination school of the sect examination.
At this point, the master and apprentice did not stay too long, it was past noon when they came out of the Xuanyang Cave, and when they entered the fairy forest again, they suddenly saw a graceful figure in a cyan Luo skirt, walking out of the jungle.
"Hello Uncle Li!" a clear and pleasant greeting came from that direction.
Long Jiao's sudden appearance surprised the master and apprentice a little, Li Daoyuan politely nodded to her in return, but Liang Yu's face turned red unconsciously, he peeked at Li Daoyuan, and also greeted: "Senior sister!"
After the three approached, they walked away with a few simple greetings. After the mistake, Liang Yu quietly turned his head behind Li Daoyuan to look in the direction where Long Jiao was going, but saw that Long Jiao was also looking back, the two looked at each other and smiled, and the girl walked towards the west with her hands leisurely.
"Ahem," Li Daoyuan feigned coughing, "Forget my words so quickly, why don't you go back with me!"
Liang Yu's cheeks were red like a child whose parents had seen through their little tricks, and he walked a few steps quickly, not wanting Li Daoyuan to suddenly say behind him: "Back to the Taiqing Hall and the Foreign Affairs Hall, etc., they are all in a difficult position... Alas, silly boy, what's the matter..."
Liang Yu didn't dare to speak out when he was said, and Li Daoyuan didn't say any more, but Hu Xiaoxiao, who had not spoken for a long time, suddenly said sourly from the willow card: "You are still a monk, and your concentration is so poor... She... Alas, too lazy to talk about you!"
After returning from the ancestral mountain, Liang Yu's practice in the East Immortal Sect was even harder, after all, that day in the Immortal Trace Forest, Xin Ruoping was able to drain the river water and turn it into a dragon when he raised his hand, this kind of immortal method that once made him breathtaking, now in front of the "Taiyi Twelve Secret Techniques", it seems that it is not enough, and the next thing for Liang Yu is to invest more in the cultivation road.
A month later, under Li Daoyuan's careful tutelage, Liang Yu was finally able to play a powerful splitting wind palm without the help of "Lingxu Pei Yuan Gong", which also marked that his cultivation of "Ziyang Xuanzhen Gong" had finally reached the fourth level!
Before Li Daoyuan left, he told Liang Yudao: "Cultivation must not be cultivated without virtue. All the exercises of the Eastern Immortal Sect need to be supported by orthodox Taoism, so you must also think about and study those Taoist classics, and you can't just be satisfied with memorization. There are lectures in the Taiqing Hall every day, so you might as well go and listen to the lectures often. ”
Liang Yu respectfully obeyed the master's teachings, and Li Daoyuan said to Hu Xiaoxiao next to him: "Little Xiao Daoyou, if I go out of the mountain again this time, I have to ask you to bother to guide and control Liang Yu, don't let him get into trouble again!"
Hu Xiaoxiao agreed, but she didn't dare to look up at Li Daoyuan's torch-like eyes, she knew that Li Daoyuan had something to say, but the old gentleman just didn't say it explicitly, "Don't take my apprentice around to make trouble!"
On the second day of Li Daoyuan's descent from the mountain, Liang Yu had breakfast, and after packing up, he went straight to the Taiqing Palace. This was the first time he had come to listen to the lecture, and at this time, the magnificent Taiqing Hall was already full of people who had come to listen to the lecture, so he had to find a place in the corner and sit down.
Liang Yu was curiously looking around in the corner, when he suddenly heard someone in the crowd greet him: "Liang Yu, come to me!"
It turned out to be Qin Ruoming!
Liang Yu looked at the sound in surprise, he didn't expect that this senior brother, who was already a master in his opinion, would also come to listen to the lecture, and what made Liang Yu's eyes shine even more was that sitting next to Qin Ruoming was none other than Long Jiao, an outer disciple of Kun Yufeng!
