Chapter 4 The Gathering of Disciples

Taiqing Sect, created by the Taiqing Sword Immortal that year, was passed down to this generation with Li Yuanxiao as the sect master. Although it has a long history and many outstanding disciples, none of them can compare their achievements with the Taiqing Sword Immortal back then.

Taiqing Sword Immortal, surnamed Li Tanchen, studied under Hongjun Sword Immortal and embarked on the road of cultivating immortals. When Li Tanchen had not yet cultivated into an immortal, Master Hongjun Sword Immortal and Senior Brother Yuqing Sword Immortal stepped away one after another. After that, Li Tanchen has been practicing with the second senior brother Shangqing Sword Immortal. Li Tanchen has outstanding talents, and after cultivating into an immortal, he called himself Taiqing Sword Immortal. Soon after he cultivated the Sword Immortal, the second senior brother Shangqing Sword Immortal also broke through the void and rode away with the wind. And Li Tanchen alone perfected the method of cultivating immortals passed down by his master Hongjun Sword Immortal, and carried it forward, opened a sect, and left the Taiqing Sect before he soared away.

Since the founding of the Taiqing Sect, it has never decayed. The successive sect masters were voted on by the elders of the sect. The sect opens its sect on the first day of March every year to accept disciples, and the conditions for accepting disciples are very strict, and only those who are qualified can enter the sect to practice. Although a large number of people who aspire to the Taiqing Sect sign up for the disciple collection conference every year, most of them return in vain.

The sect of the Taiqing Sect is located on the Tiandao Mountain in Kanglong County. Tiandao Mountain is located in a remote area, located in the southwest of Kanglong County, hundreds of miles away from the nearest big city - Haozhou City, and there are many hills and valleys on the road, jungles, weeds, and many poisonous snakes and beasts in the forest. It can be said that Tiandao Mountain is a semi-enclosed place for cultivating immortals. Therefore, the Taiqing Sect set the disciple acceptance meeting to be held in the central square of Haozhou City, and at that time, the school-age children of the entire Kanglong County who hoped to worship the Taiqing Sect and cultivate immortals would rush to participate. If you receive someone with excellent roots, you will be taken back to Tiandao Mountain by the Taiqing Sect's disciple Yujian, who is in charge of the disciple collection conference. After a new disciple enters the sect, unless he has achieved cultivation and can fly with a sword, it is very inconvenient to leave the mountain.

This year is the 519th year of the Qinglong calendar. On the night of the last day of February, in the Yundu Villa at the foot of Dongshi Mountain, Li Yuru, the owner's wife, was packing her bags with two teenagers in her room. Her two sons, Tianxiao and Tianyao, were to be picked up by their father Li Yuanxiao the next day. Mother and son part, I don't know how long it will take to see each other.

Li Yuru's eyes were slightly red, she looked at the two children, and said: "My child, when I say goodbye tomorrow, I don't know when I will see you again." Don't worry about your father and mother, and practice with your grandfather in the Taiqing Sect. Don't be willful at home, obey your grandfather's arrangement in everything, don't make trouble, and don't let your father and mother worry about it. ”

Tianxiao and Tianyao also nodded with tears in their eyes. The two brothers grew up with their mother Li Yuru since they were children, and they have not been separated for 12 years.

At this time, He Yundui, the owner of Yundui Villa, entered the room, and saw the mother and son hugging each other and crying, and his heart was also very unbearable, but he still had to pretend to be strong on the surface: "Okay, Xiao'er, Yao'er, I will go on the road early tomorrow morning, and I will go back to the room early tonight to rest." ”

Seeing his two sons walk out of the room, He Yundui turned around and comforted his wife: "Madam, since ancient times, good men have been ambitious in all directions. Tianxiao and Tianyao are talented, live up to the expectations of you and me, have a strong body and easy-going temperament, and let us feel at ease wherever we go. Now follow your father-in-law to cultivate immortals, and you will become a great weapon in the future. Don't be a woman's kindness, make the children worry about it, and affect their cultivation. ”

Li Yuru wiped her tears: "How can we women be stronger than you men." The children have been well-behaved since childhood, and have never been separated from my husband and wife, and I know that cultivating immortals is hard, and it is not easy to meet each other, so how can I give up ......"

He Yundui sighed: "Madam, am I willing to do it? But you and I now know the destiny of heaven, even if we practice martial arts and are healthy, we only have a few decades of life left, and Xiao'er and Yao'er are different, if the immortal cultivation is enlightened and the tribulation is successful, then it will be the same life as the sky, and you and I must not hinder their future!"

Li Yuru was suddenly stunned and asked: "Husband, although the success of cultivating immortals can lead to longevity and Tianqi, but the sword immortal ancestors of the past dynasties have disappeared without a trace after breaking the void, you said that if it is Xiao'er and Yao'er, it will ...... in the future."

He Yundui whispered, "Don't be cranky. Ranked in the immortal class, how can you and I mortals speculate? Anyway, the sword immortal who broke through the sky will definitely not fall, and I and other ordinary people will not explore it. If one day Xiao'er and Yao'er reach this realm, it is to go or stay, and they naturally know it. Moreover, you and I will be long gone, and thinking about it so early will only increase our troubles. ”

Li Yuru nodded: "What the husband said is extremely true. ”

The couple looked forward to the future of their two sons and muttered all night.

In the early morning of the next day, the brothers Tianxiao and Tianyao had just finished breakfast, and they were called to the hospital by their parents for their final instructions.

He Yundui asked Tian Xiaoxiao again: "Xiao'er, my father has connived at you to use a knife for two years, and today is the day when I made an agreement with you." I'll ask you one last time, do you really want to use a sword instead?"

Compared with two years ago, Tianxiao is much more mature. He shook his head, "Father, I still like to use knives. I have already thought that there is no way to practice swords in the villa now, and I have already practiced the basics taught by Uncle Deng. So I want to join the sect with my grandfather first, learn the method of cultivating immortals and practicing swords, and if I succeed in the future, maybe I can also realize something in the sword technique. ”

He Yunwan nodded in agreement: "This is also the only way to have both worlds at present." However, most of the immortal cultivators don't like to use knives, so don't take your Tengma knife to the sect. Speaking of this, He Yundui looked at Tianyao and said, "Yao'er, after entering the sect, you will be given a sword weapon." Your Pei Min sword should also stay at home. You two brothers should take care of each other in the sect, and don't worry your grandfather or your parents. ”

Tianxiao and Tianyao glanced at each other, and then both nodded firmly.

Suddenly, there was a sound of a sharp weapon breaking through the sky overhead, and I saw an old man flying down from the sky, this person was Li Yuanxiao, the Taiqing Sect Master.

Li Yuanxiao saw the two sturdy grandsons, and his eyes suddenly lit up: "Yun Dusk, Yuru." It seems that your husband and wife are extremely interested in Tianxiao and Tianyao. I started practicing at the age of five, and now it has only been seven years, and my physical condition is so good. Originally, I was going to test again to see if their meridian growth was the same as I expected, but now it seems that this is a redundant move. ”

The meridians and muscles, bones, and muscles are inherently complementary. If the meridians are weak, it is impossible to exercise strong muscles and bones. Just as a narrow road cannot pass through many carriages at once, the weak meridians cannot even provide enough energy for the instant explosion of muscles, and of course it is impossible to train into a strong body.

At this time, Tianyao suddenly asked in surprise: "You are our grandfather, grandfather, it turns out that you can fly......" Tianxiao next to him also had a look of envy.

Li Yuanxiao laughed heartily: "Grandpa is the grandly Taiqing Sect Master, can't he fly?"

Since Tianxiao and Tianyao Hundred Days, Li Yuanxiao has not come to Yundu Villa again. He Yundui and his wife usually only told their sons that they would follow their grandfather to cultivate immortals in the future. The two children didn't know that Li Yuanxiao's status was so prominent, and he was already the head of the sect. Moreover, it was the first time that the two brothers had seen someone fly with their own eyes, and the person who had made Edgeworth was still their grandfather, so it was normal for them to be so surprised.

Looking at the adoring expressions of the two, Li Yuanxiao was in a happy mood: "Tianxiao, Tianyao, if you want to be the same as your grandfather, as long as you work hard with your qualifications, you will definitely be able to achieve it in the future." In the future, when you leave your parents and follow your grandfather, you must not slack off, and you must practice as diligently as you do at home. Got it?"

The two children, who fantasize about being able to fly into the sky in the future, excitedly say that they will live up to their grandfather's expectations.

Li Yuanxiao nodded with satisfaction, pulled out the cyan long sword behind his back, and rose into the air. The long sword floated horizontally more than half a person high, floating slightly up and down, and the sword body emitted a faint blue and blue light, which was very beautiful. The whole sword made a soft "boom" sound. This is the Taiqing Sect's Zhenpai Immortal Sword - Chengying.

With Li Yuanxiao's cultivation, it would not be difficult to fly with two twelve-year-old children. Now he wants to use this method to take Tianxiao Tianyao to Haozhou City in the southwest to participate in the Taiqing Sect's disciple collection conference.

"Grandpa is now flying with you Edgeworth. Thousands of miles can be reached in one day. But you two must not move when flying, do you hear?" Li Yuanxiao told carefully. After all, the two of them are too young, and they are extremely fast when flying at high altitudes, and the sword face is narrow, so it is dangerous to stand unsteadily. Seeing the two of them nodding obediently, Li Yuanxiao jumped on the flying sword, holding Tianxiao with one hand and Tianyao with the other.

Looking at the almost invisible dot in the distance, He Yundui and his wife were full of melancholy. From this day on, the children's singing and laughter will no longer be heard.

Li Yuanxiao flew quickly with the Tianxiao and Tianyao brothers. As the immortal sword of the Taiqing Sect, the Chengying Sword is naturally quite famous. This fairy sword is six feet long, and its body is full of blue light. In the Great War of Immortals and Demons, this sword was also one of the eighteen peerless fairy swords, ranking tenth in the "Fairy Sword Spectrum", and it was also one of the few peerless fairy swords whose whereabouts were known. Not only is it powerful, but it also flies extremely fast. It is said that during the Great War of Immortals and Demons, the Taiqing Sword Immortal held the Chengying Sword and once slashed more than a dozen Sword Demons. Later, he used this sword to kill the one-horned evil Jiao Yu Qinxue River with only one move, and the blood sprayed out stained the river water for ten miles. Today, the Chengying Sword, as a symbol of the Taiqing Sect, is used by Li Yuanxiao.

Edgeworth's speed was far faster than that of a carriage, and it took three people to reach a wide square in Haozhou City in less than a day. Since today is the day of the Taiqing Sect's acceptance of disciples, the square is crowded with people, all of whom have come from all over the country with their children to sign up for testing. Li Yuanxiao controlled the Chengying Sword to fall slowly, and suddenly someone among the people below looked up and saw it, and shouted in surprise: "Look!

Suddenly, a burst of exclamation and gasps erupted in the crowd. In the minds of ordinary people, anyone who can fly with a sword is a great master of cultivating immortals, so everyone whispered to each other, but no one dared to blatantly point fingers at Li Yuanxiao.

Li Yuanxiao landed in the only empty space in the crowd with his two children and patted their heads: "Okay, we are here." ”

Tianxiao and Tianyao looked around curiously, and sighed in surprise: "Oh my God, why are there so many people ...... here" The two brothers had never been far away before, and the farthest was only to go to Xuzhou City near Yundu Villa. On weekdays, there are no major events, and there are not so many people gathered in the city at all. Even during the New Year's holidays, He Yundui and his wife would not allow the brothers to go to the city to join in the fun on the grounds that there were too many people and children were easy to get separated.

At this time, a voice sounded in the crowd: "Everyone, please let me come over." "Needless to mention, this must be one of the disciples of the Taiqing Sect who is responsible for recruiting disciples here. When someone exclaimed "Shangxian" just now, everyone looked up and saw it. The majestic Shadow Sword reveals the identity of the Edgeworth.

Immediately there was a burst of sycophants in the crowd.

"Wow, it turns out that he is the Taiqing Sect Master!"

"I'll just say, how can ordinary immortal cultivators have such a bearing, the sect master is different!"

"How superb the immortal skills of the sect master are, it is natural to have a bearing!"

......

Li Yuanxiao frowned when he heard this, and thought helplessly in his heart: "I haven't done anything, I haven't said anything, what kind of bearing can I see?"

The people listened to the disciple's words and made way for Li Yuanxiao and the three of them. Li Yuanxiao nodded slightly in thanks, and led the two children forward. The crowd on both sides stared intently at the three of them, looking at Tianxiao and Tianyao uncomfortably.

It is no wonder that people who cultivate immortals live a light life and are not very involved in the hustle and bustle of the world, especially the masters of cultivating immortals, most of whom like to be quiet. Some people have never seen an immortal cultivator in their lives, but now that they see a sect master-level immortal cultivator, they can't wait to have a few more eyes.

At the end of the passage of the crowd was an eight-foot table, behind which sat three young girls. Behind the three girls, there were two cold young men with long swords on their backs, standing with their hands in their hands, with extraordinary temperament.

The tables and chairs on the square were all arranged and arranged by the city lord of Haozhou City, and the Taiqing Sect's acceptance of disciples was the top priority of Kanglong County, and there was no slackness in the slightest.

Seeing Li Yuanxiao, the three young women all stood up and bowed with the two men behind them: "Meet Master." It turned out that these people were all Li Yuanxiao's apprentices.

Li Yuanxiao nodded: "No need to be polite. I brought my two grandchildren to sign up for the test. ”

The grandson of the sect master, the five disciples immediately looked at the child Li Yuanxiao was holding by his hands.

When Taiqing recruited disciples, there were clear regulations that only children under the age of fifteen who were qualified for the root bones were accepted. Even if there is a false declaration of age, it will be detected when the root bone is examined, and it is impossible to deceive. After returning to the sect after receiving disciples, it is necessary to test the excellence of the root bones in detail, determine the qualification level and appoint a suitable master.

People who cultivate immortals have been perceptual of the laws of heaven and earth for many years, and with the cultivation of swords and the cultivation of the body and the cultivation of qi, the momentum is much stronger than that of normal people. Feeling the sharp eyes of the five people at the moment, Tianxiao and Tianyao both felt panicked. Tianxiao was still a little bolder, plucked up the courage to nod his little head at the five disciples, and said crisply: "Brother, sister, hello, my name is He Tianxiao." This is my younger brother, He Tianyao. ”

After hearing this, the five of them all came back to their senses from their surprise, and they all secretly admired in their hearts: "Two children who are so handsome and strong! I didn't expect the appearance, temperament, and physical condition of the two grandsons of the sect master to be so good!"

Li Yuanxiao only gave birth to an only daughter, who was unable to cultivate immortals because of his poor roots, and later married into the He family, a wealthy martial arts family, and almost all the disciples in the sect knew about it. These five disciples were surprised that Li Yuru, who had extremely poor roots, could give birth to two sons who were so delicate and fit, but they didn't know that only Tianyao was biological.

When it comes to examining root bones, there is more than one way. For example, when Li Yuanxiao tested Tianxiao and Tianyao, which had just been 100 days old, he used a more conventional method of entering the body. In fact, if a child is in a strong body, it means that the root bones should not be bad, because the root bones are not bad, and they will definitely not be able to train a good body. But the reverse is not necessarily, if the physical condition is average, it is impossible to distinguish whether it is because of no exercise, or because of the poor root bone factors.

Now Tianxiao and Tianyao's bodies are nearly seven feet, with broad shoulders and thin waists, and extremely well-proportioned figures. Looking at their complexions, both of them are also very ruddy and smooth, except that Tianxiao is a little darker. With such a body and physique, it would be strange if the bones were bad.

The five people listened to Tianxiao's words, and they all smiled and nodded. The one of the three women said to the two of them cordially, "Several of us are disciples of the Sect Master. In the future, everyone will be the same family, so let's be called brothers. My name is Xiao Liying, those two are your senior brothers Ruan Haoqing and Du Qiuping, and these two are your senior sisters Feng Chuyun and Lin Xuejing. After speaking, she looked at the sect master Li Yuanxiao on the side: "Master, the two junior disciples are so strong, they are not bad when they look at the bones, so there is no need to test it now, right?" ”

Li Yuanxiao nodded in agreement: "Okay." It's not that I'm boasting, but the bones of my two grandsons are really good, and I personally tested them when they were 100 days old. Okay, you continue to recruit disciples. There are a lot of people here, so let's go to rest elsewhere first, and then gather here to return to the sect together. ”

Several disciples replied in unison, "Yes." ”

Xiao Liying smiled and waved his hand to the two Xiaoyao brothers: "Your name is Tianxiao, your name is Tianyao, right?

Tianxiao and Tianyao both looked at her quietly, not wanting to, Tianxiao suddenly burst out of a headless sentence: "Sister, you are so beautiful!"

Suddenly, all the noise around them fell silent, and people looked at the clear-eyed child, and suddenly burst into loud laughter.

"Haha, boy, yes! I'll coax a girl at such a young age!"

"Hehe, don't you look at the grandson of the sect master, you have a good eye!"

"This kid is pretty handsome, girl, I think you can think about it......"

Xiao Liying stood there crying and laughing, thinking, "This kid, what are you talking nonsense in front of so many people......

But this girl is really good-looking. The long black hair was simply tied up with a hairband, and he had a well-proportioned figure, wearing a purple robe that symbolized the identity of a disciple of the Taiqing Sect. With curved eyebrows and big eyes, he has a particularly bright and charming smile.

Everyone was laughing, Tianyao pulled the stunned Tianxiao and asked, "Brother, do you like this sister?" Well, this sister is indeed much better looking than Aunt Wang's daughter Xiaocui......

As soon as the words ended, the crowd erupted in a louder burst of laughter, and many of them laughed so hard that they couldn't even straighten their waists.
