Master Lian Cheng left the temple and walked to the back mountain of Wannian Temple, followed closely by Zhang Nianxin.

Master Lian Cheng turned his back to her as he walked and asked, "So your father used to be a lay disciple of Louguan Dao, but he practiced in Zhongnan Mountain for many years but found nothing, and finally returned home. But you've forgotten all about the years you've been practicing, aren't you?"

Zhang Nianxin nodded, indifferent, "Yes, that's why my mother and I are so resentful that he has been away from home for many years and has not returned, and then there is no explanation." ”

Lian Shan sighed: "Alas, the anti-dust platform of Louguan Road is worthy of its name, and it is not inferior to my Emei's Sanyuan Palace." ”

Sanyuan Palace, anti-hometown platform, these inexplicable words floating out of Lian Chengcheng's mouth made Zhang Nianxin confused, and she originally wanted to find out why her father had not returned for more than ten years, but now she is even more confused.

After walking for less than a cup of tea, he came to a dense forest shrouded in white mist, and the white mist was so thick that it covered the branches between the trees, making Zhang Nianxin almost out of breath. She couldn't help but think to herself, "Strange, why did Master Lian Cheng bring me here?"

At this time, Master Lian Cheng stopped, turned around and asked, "Apprentice, do you think that sword before me has some heavenly posture?"

Seeing that he was still in this unserious appearance, Zhang Nianxin glanced at him and said angrily: "Of course there is, otherwise ordinary people can still cut off the mountains and waves?"

However, Lian Cheng lost his previous laughter, and with a light twist of his left hand, a green light flew out of his fingertips and landed on a small sapling next to him. Suddenly, the sapling, which was originally only the knee-length size of Master Lianshan, grew vigorously until it stopped at his navel. Master Lianshan spoke at this time: "This is the true power of heaven and earth. ”

Seeing this incredible scene, Zhang Nian's heart was dumbfounded, if it was said that Master Lianshan's sword breaking the flood just now brought her a shock, then this scene completely collapsed her worldview. She couldn't help but look at Master Lianshan with respect, and asked, "Is there really an immortal in this world?"

Master Lianshan did not answer her, but took out a few bamboo slips from his sleeve and handed them to her, saying, "If you are really willing to learn the method of Xuanjiao, I can give it to you." However, this exercise requires a certain amount of Taoist internal strength to be blessed, and these two bamboo slips are written in the most basic method of breathing. This is the place where I practiced when I was young, and for three days you were to study it thoroughly, and for seven days you were to study the sutras, eating less grains and feeding your stomach with herbs, until you didn't need to eat outside. Within 12 days, what you have to do is no longer need external objects to prolong your life. Within 30 days, if you can make a living by absorbing the aura of heaven and earth, and no longer be disturbed by the many mundane worlds in your heart, then you will be successful in Bigu, proving that you have a spirit. I will teach you the method of Xuanqi, and then recommend you to practice in Shu Mountain. During this month, I will stay by your side and help you in your cultivation. Then he took out a simple long shirt with blue edges on a white background: "This is a dust jacket, after wearing it, the dust will not stick to it, and the water will not be wet." Shelter you from the elements.

Zhang Nianxin took the books and was about to ask something, but when he saw Master Lian Cheng's expectant gaze, he finally nodded.

Between the Emei Mountains, the mountains are stacked, and the green forests are like daisies. Here in the forest sea, the ancient pine branches and leaves are crisp and dripping, and the clouds and mist are rising in the blank and branchless places, and the fairy spirit is swirling. Around, ape crying, birdsong, murmuring stream sound endlessly, a few cranes can be vaguely seen between the mountain cliffs in the distance, in addition, there is no trace of noise in the ears, there is no trace of smoke and dust. Zhang Nianxin was in the forest, looking at this scene, and thinking about it, as if she had forgotten everything related to her...

Three days later, Zhang Nianxin began to open the valley, during which Master Liancheng kept looking for some herbs in the mountains such as ginseng, wolfberry, schisandra, honeysuckle angelica to make liquid food meal replacement for her to take. Her body is already slender, and this diet has become even more small and delicate. Seven days later, she was no more than the weight of a six-year-old child, and Zhang Nianxin felt light at this time, as if a gust of wind would blow her away. After 12 days, the liquid food has also been cut off, and he only eats from mountain springs. Zhang Nianxin felt that he was so weak that he couldn't even lift his hands, but he didn't feel a trace of hunger in his abdomen, and his mind sometimes seemed to enter a very mysterious realm, which was very fascinating.

A month later, it was already the last two days of Bigu, and if he survived this time, it would prove that Zhang Nianxin did have a posture of cultivation. At this moment, she was sitting cross-legged by a clear spring, twisting the magic in her hands, her eyes closed, and her heart silently reading the contents of the scriptures. Next to her, Lian Cheng took a guqin, played the famous Taoist song Su Heart Sutra, and brushed away the dust in her heart. (This paragraph is recommended to be eaten with the music of Shushan OL, and there is really a sense of fluttering.) ）

However, the pleasant strings did not make a difference. After all, Zhang Nianxin still couldn't understand the mystery of the path of cultivation, and she was so tired that she woke up from deep thought and fainted on the ground.

The sound of the fairy music stopped, and Master Lian Cheng helped Zhang Nianchen up, and returned to the Wannian Temple for three hours before she woke up and smiled bitterly: "Actually, I don't know any cultivation at all, and my father only knows a little about it. ”

Master Lianshan patted his head and smiled embarrassedly: "Yes, I'm too anxious, even I myself have been cultivating for two lifetimes before I have a body of cultivation." You're a teenage girl, and you've just grown up, so how can you see through the red dust. ”

Zhang Nianxin shook his head, disappointed, "It seems that I have no chance with cultivation." ”

Lian Shan was silent, took out a book, and said, "Since you can't practice, you can't learn the method of Xuanjiao. However, I have here a copy of the "Su Wen Sutra" that I have been studying for decades, and I can cultivate it without Qi Yuan, and after refining it to the end of the world, it is basically the same as the method of Xuanqi, which will not invade all diseases, and the pain will be healed immediately. Zhang Nianxin couldn't help but be overjoyed, and just about to get it, Master Lianshan took it back, and said heavily: "However, this cultivation method was selected from the emperor's internal scriptures, and so far there has been no success in enlightenment. ”

Zhang Nianxin couldn't help but wonder: "What is preaching?"

"Well, there are too many knowledge of the way of heaven and man, and you can't understand it very well. Roughly speaking, it means that the cultivation method of this book is flawed, and it violates the common sense of heaven and earth, and is not tolerated by the way of heaven. It was only by myself that I cultivated this scripture to the point where I lost all my cultivation and could not leave Shushan for the rest of my life. In addition to this, I had sixteen disciples who had cultivated this book, and after that, almost none of them lived past the age of forty. The only survivor has been taken back to the Golden Summit of Shushan by my senior brother. ”

Zhang Nianxin listened to what he said, and his hand was suddenly stunned...

Lian Shan continued: "I have checked your qualifications, and they are not bad, but they are only not bad. If you don't have the blessing of external forces, you will basically be a second-rate master in your life. Is it to live a life of inaction, or to work hard to fight and fight a sword immortal. You, take your pick. ”

Zhang Nianxin sank down at this moment, thinking carefully, if it was her before, she would definitely leave without looking back, and then live an ordinary life. However, people's hearts will change, and after seeing the tragic fate of Sister Xueqing, and after seeing the terrifying momentum of Master Lianshan breaking the flood with a sword, her mentality has changed. She asked herself: Do I really want to live my life in idleness? When I enter the world, ordinary people are only forty or fifty years old if there are no accidents, why not gamble... (In fact, the psychological activity of the heroine here is in the words of Lu Wenzhao in the movie "Embroidered Spring Knife": I want to change the way of living)

After thinking about it, she took the book, got up and knelt down and said, "The disciple originally intended to practice, please ask the master to teach you, and the disciple will bear all the causes and effects after that." After the salute, she remembered that she had never admitted that she was his apprentice before, and at this time she said that she should first toast him with tea to meet the etiquette of the apprentice. So he looked around to find the teapot, but he didn't find it, but he saw a monk's pot for fasting, so he had to bring the pot over, fill it with hot water, and said embarrassedly: "Master, please drink tea." ”

Seeing this, Master Lianshan laughed: "This tea bowl is really big enough. As he spoke, he raised the "teapot" and took a sip, and then said, "Okay, I'll teach you the mantra to get started." Sit down cross-legged, follow the acupuncture diagram in the picture, draw the true qi out of the sky, descend to Xuanji, and condense in the canopy. Finally, sit in the sandalwood, divide the true qi into two streams, guide the gods, the spiritual ruins, and the three in the corridor, and march like this........." Zhang Nianxin listened carefully to his detailed explanation, and according to what he said, in less than half an hour, the first layer recorded in this book, the seven, seven, eight, and eight of the Danyuan Guardian Spirit. At the moment when she finished carrying an exercise, a clear smoke suddenly flowed out of her top door and dispersed. Zhang Nianxin took a long breath, and suddenly felt that the fatigue of the previous practice was swept away, and the whole body was indescribably comfortable. She couldn't help but say, "Strange, master, it's clear that this exercise is very effective in self-cultivation, how can it harm people?"

Master Lianshan patted her head and smiled: "You will understand this in the future." This exercise is fast-tracked, and there is a virtual completion in the back, often in the soul stop and other five doors, corresponding to the five internal organs, you can slowly learn it by running it once a day according to the book. Now I'm going to teach you the method of the sword, the so-called method of the sword is the basic method of my Emei, there are three layers in total. If you don't practice the method of breathing, you can only learn the first layer, and the sword is separated from the body and not centrifugal. ”

"Stop," Zhang Nianxin interrupted him: "Master, I use a knife." ”

"Actually, the method of imperial weapons does not necessarily have to use a sword. ”

"But you broke my knife..."

"Uh," Master Lianshan was speechless for a while, so he had to pull out the iron sword behind his back, and said in a careful manner: "The name of this sword is Tianshu, cold front and cold dew, Ambilight, hitting the sea of stars and falling down the river waterfall. Although it has lost its aura, it is still a good sword. Come, catch the sword. As he spoke, he flicked on the sword, the sword body rattled, and immediately flew upward, Zhang Nianxin jumped up and caught the Tianshu sword steadily. However, immediately afterwards, Master Lianshan raised a bamboo pole that the monk used for fire and attacked her. Zhang Nianxin immediately knew that this was him testing his reaction, swinging his sword to meet the enemy, and the swords and swords on both sides came and went. Master Lianshan deliberately left a few hands, and slowed down the movements that Zhang Nianxin watched carefully in order to learn. However, after all, she was used to using a knife, and the first time she used a sword, she was always uncomfortable, but she was picked off by Master Lianshan in a few rounds. Then, with a slight wave of Master Lianshan's left hand, the sword returned to him like a silk thread, and then he said in disappointment: "Alas, I don't even use internal strength, it seems that you don't know that you don't have a little talent for using swords." When I was sparring with you just now, it seems that the swordsmanship I taught you can only be used to fool those who don't know how to do it. ”

Zhang Nianxin was speechless: "Master, I only took a sword for the first time today, I have been practicing with my father before, and I am not a martial arts wizard, how can I understand it at all." ”

As soon as Master Lianshan heard that Zhang Nianxin's original master was her father, he asked, "Then how did your father usually teach you?"

"Just the tricks he summed up from the battlefield, and repeated cutting down trees every day, and he practiced thousands of times a day. It's not pretty, but it's practical. ”

Master Lianshan was shocked: "Ah? It's easy to get injured when you practice like that." Is it any wonder that your hands are covered with scars and calluses, and your dad doesn't usually buy medicine to make up for you?"

Zhang Nianxin shook his head, and said sadly: "The poor people in the family can't even afford rice, where can they get the money to buy medicine." Usually I get through injuries and I'm used to it. ”

Master Lianshan only completely understood at this moment why Zhang Nianxin must learn the method of being able to prevent a hundred poisons from invading the mysteries. After all, with these old injuries left over from childhood, it is estimated that he will not live long when he is old and his body muscles and bones have deteriorated. As soon as I thought about it, I suddenly felt sad when I looked at her, and said to her, "You come with me." With that, he took her to the back garden of Wannian Temple. This place is very strange, many flowers and plants during the period are blue, purple, and the shape and appearance, Zhang Nianxin has never seen it, so she looks very strange.

Master Lian Shan said: "This place is the medicine garden that I cultivated when I was young, hmph, now it has been enclosed by these bald donkeys as their own land." "After picking a few of these fairy grasses, putting them in a pot and boiling them, it will turn into crystal syrup after a while, which is very beautiful.

Lian Shan put a steamer on it and said, "Come, put your hand on the steamer." ”

Zhang Nianxin put his hand in, but he didn't feel a trace of hot heat, but it was very cool and comfortable. When she picked up her hand again, there was no trace of moisture on her hands, and the scars and calluses on her hands were gone, at this moment her palms were as white as soft wattles, very good-looking, as a woman, she still has a love for beauty, bowed and smiled: "Thank you, master." At this moment, the last trace of her dissatisfaction with Lianshan also dissipated.

"Hey, it's nothing, it's just some low-grade useless calming spirit grass, it's hard for mortals to get it, and cultivators don't need it, so it's okay to give it to you. ”

"Oh, by the way, master," Zhang Nianxin said, "I almost forgot about the business, and I can't use the sword, so what should I use to learn martial arts now?"

"Well, let's use a knife then. As he spoke, he took out two black sheathed knives, one long and one short, from his sleeve, one of which resembled a horizontal knife but slightly curved, and the other was shorter, just over a foot, but much longer than a dagger. Master Lianshan handed her the two knives, and Zhang Nianxin said: "Is your sleeve a Qiankun bag, you have everything" but still reached out to catch it, looked at it carefully for a long time, and made two moves, which was very convenient. Then he asked with a smile: "Master, what are the names of these two knives?"

"Of these two knives, the short one is called the Surprise Sail, and the long one is called the Absolute Shadow. ”

When Zhang Nianxin heard this, he was stunned: "Master, isn't this the mount of Cao Zhen and Emperor Wu of Wei State? What do you mean by naming your sword as a horse?"

Master Lianshan broke his skills at once, and returned to his previous indecent appearance and smiled: "Haha, you care about me, you can name your master whatever I like, and you can't care about the apprentice." ”

At this time, a quarrel was heard in the mountain temple. "Donor, don't go, that guy is a demon. ”

"Get out of the way, you group of monks who eliminate disasters and exorcise demons for others, and you are actually afraid of demons and monsters, then don't stop me. ”

When Zhang Nianxin heard this, he was overjoyed: "It's Chufeng who came to me, it's so good that she's fine." ”

When Master Lianshan heard this, he frowned: "It's bad, how can there still be people from the government, this group of people doesn't talk about martial arts, and the government is still looking for the government to intervene in the affairs of the rivers and lakes." No, let them find out I'm done, I'm leaving. As soon as he said that, he disappeared, and when he left, he shouted: "Disciple, I won't teach the method of flying swords, you can slowly comprehend it yourself, and in the future, if the side effects of Su Wenjing are committed, come to Emei to find me." ”

Dugufeng walked into the backyard with a group of officials in a hurry, and saw Zhang Nianxin standing there unscathed. Dugu Feng stepped forward and hugged her like a bosom, crying: "Fortunately, you're fine." ”

Zhang Nianxin said embarrassedly: "That, Miss Feng, there are still people behind you." ”

"Oh," Dugu Feng let go of Zhang Nianxin and wiped his tears, and asked with concern: "How is it, did that old Taoist priest treat you well." ”

Zhang Nianxin laughed: "He, for some reason, wanted to force me to be his apprentice, and then he didn't do anything." I pretended to be his apprentice, and I fished out a good suit from him, and you see, he gave him this dress and two knives. ”

Dugu Feng laughed out loud and said: "You, you are really resourceful, eccentric, and the hooligans have been stripped of a layer of skin when they fall into your hands." ”

At this time, the official who followed him said to the monk next to him, "Master, you clearly said that the Taoist priest has a thousand powers, and the two stone lions in your temple were smashed by him, but now that we are here, your temple is obviously good." I'm afraid that you don't read the scriptures and read the demons, and treat an old Taoist priest as a demon and a monster. ”

"This?" The monk touched his head, not knowing how to answer, he always felt that he had less memories of Master Lianshan, but he just didn't know which ones were missing. Not only him, but many monks behind him, including Master Lianshan, who were almost killed.

Zhang Nianxin just wanted to say something, but at this moment, a flash of inspiration flashed in her mind, and her memories of Master Lianshan's immortal arts disappeared in an instant.

At this time, Dugu Feng took a closer look at Zhang Nianxin's cheeks, and saw that her eyes were already thin and a little sunken, and she was already very thin at this time, so she touched her Lian and asked a little distressedly: "What's wrong with you these days? Why have you lost so much weight." ”

"Hey, that Taoist priest is very good at torturing people, and during this period of time, he only allowed me to eat liquid food, so I lost a lot of weight. ”

Dugu Feng took her hand and smiled: "I heard that the noodle soup in the inn at the foot of the mountain is good." Let's go, I'll treat you and make up for you. As for the matter of that Taoist priest, let these officials be busy. ”

Although Zhang Nianxin still wanted to say something, she was hungry, and she still went down the mountain with Dugufeng.

"Huh-" On a mountain bag not far away, seeing that his identity was not exposed, Lian Shan breathed a sigh of relief, and then said to the side: "Yiyun nephew, show up when you come." ”

At this moment, the space next to him twisted, and a chaotic aura dispersed, revealing a young man in a gorgeous white robe, only to see that he was about seventy or so old, his face was like a crown of jade, his eyes were as deep as a sky, and at a glance it seemed to be filled with stars. The whole person floated in mid-air like a streamer, like a living immortal. I saw him with his back to Master Lianshan: "Before the Luo Tian Dajiao is finished, I will be driven down by the order of the master, Uncle Lianshan, you will really have a chance to cause trouble." ”

Lian Shan laughed: "Haha, I'm sorry, I'm sorry to trouble you this time, if it weren't for you, the secret of Shushan would have been spit out by me." ”

Ren Yiyun smiled: "Drink, if you really want to thank me, then don't make trouble in the future." ”

"Hey, you know, I'm just this character, and I can't get used to those bald donkeys grabbing land. ”

When Ren Yiyun heard this, he put away his smile and became serious: "Okay, I can't change your temperament, forget it." Then tell me what happened to the Suwen Sutra that the girl named Zhang Nianxin learned? When I probed her memory, I found a chapter in it that the soul and heart responded. Forty years later, you still haven't given up preaching, have you?"

Lian Shan nodded silently.

Ren Yiyun fell from mid-air and said, "Uncle Shi, Uncle Shi thinks, what are you asking me to say about you? Twenty years, in order to respond to the spiritual feelings that you have lost in your cultivation that is harmful, you have found a full thirty disciples to study, even including Senior Sister Qiaoyun and your daughter. After expelling you from the mountain, I thought you would collect a few points. I didn't expect it to be even more excessive this time, so I directly found a mortal who had no cultivation. Are you crazy? With your advanced cultivation and ending up like this, will she not be harmed by her cultivation? How many people have you killed before you are willing to die for your evil ways? ”

Master Lian Shan didn't answer, and laughed: "The gods are all destroyed, Master Ren, before you came, I had already deduced the fate of her not cultivating her spiritual feelings. You're proficient in Taiyi, you won't be unable to deduce, right?"

Ren Yiyun was speechless for a while.

Master Lianshan said: "I still say the same thing, those people's paths are their own choice, whether they live their lives without doing anything, or they can be glorious for a while, I just gave them the right to choose." ”

Ren Yiyun sighed and said: "Alas, forget it, I can't talk about you, sometimes I really think that it was wrong to persuade the master to keep your past." "After that, turn into a beam of green rainbows and fly towards the golden top of Emei...
