In addition to learning pharmacology from Xiaojihu, Ren Pingsheng is actually particularly interested in the strangely shaped bluestone. Every night, in the morning, Ren Pingsheng was on the top of the snow ridge in the medicine mountain, and used that bluestone to sharpen the iron sword.

It is very different from the half-heavenly ink sharpening sword, using that bluestone to sharpen the sword, every time the iron and stone rub it, it drags out the sparks scattered in the sky, and there is a burst of sword energy, covering the entire mountain. Therefore, Ren Pingsheng can only sharpen his sword on the top of the snow-capped mountain that no one has set foot on for tens of millions of years, so as not to be seen, which is too shocking to the world.

The secret of this iron sword, even Li Xilian, who was born and died together, never knew it, and of course it was inconvenient for Ren Pingsheng to sharpen his sword in front of them.

The scene of sharpening the sword is spectacular enough, but every time it is sharpened for an hour, the rust on the sword body has not diminished in the slightest. But the decay and obsolescence of color has changed considerably. Even if it's still rust, it's like it's fresh and shiny.

Xiqiao Mountain ushered in the biggest blood change in 300 years. First of all, Sect Master Cheng Mojin entered the bottleneck of immortality without warning and needed to retreat. Taiyi Sect monks, once they enter the bottleneck of immortality, no matter what position they hold in the sect, they should abdicate and give way to Xian.

After that, the retreat is peaceful, as for whether the result of the retreat is to successfully break through the realm and ascend, or fail to fall into the realm, or even if the demon soldier is released from the world, no matter what, the monk who has entered the bottleneck of immortality will be a legend that the world's Taoist cultivators talk about.

People usually out of respect, as long as they are monks wearing Taoist robes or Dharma robes, they generally become immortal masters, which are polite names. The immortal masters recognized by true Taoists are all pinnacles who have attained immortality. As for the Seven Realms, if they break through the realm again, will they not soar, but enter another kind of mysterious and mysterious Earth Immortal Realm? The entire Xuanhuang World, except for the Hongmeng Mountain Heavenly Master, no one knows. The monks of the world have long been unable to know the cultivation realm of Heavenly Master Helan Ping.

The one who broke through the peak and did not ascend, Helan Ping was the only one in the world.

Cheng Mo passed on the position of suzerain to the long-awaited nephew Zhang Taixuan. Of course, this matter should be handled in accordance with the established regulations. The selection of the new sect master of each sect, after being drawn up within the sect, should be officially sent to Hongmeng Mountain to report, and after obtaining the approval of the Taixu Temple on the top of the mountain, he can officially take office. Generally speaking, no matter how big or small the sect is, the new and old sect masters alternate, unless the old sect master has been dismissed or died, otherwise, the new and old sect masters will get a gift from Hongmeng Mountain.

Generally speaking, the envoy sent to Hongmeng Mountain will be the successor of the suzerain. In this way, in addition to completing the mission of the sect, it can also make the new sect master familiar with the upper sect. The long-sleeved dancer can also form an incense relationship with Hongmeng Mountain that may affect the rise and fall of the sect for a hundred years and thousands of years. Before Cheng Mojin succeeded him, as a Taoist genius who happened once in a thousand years in Xiqiao Mountain, when he went to Hongmeng Mountain, he was not only deeply respected, but also had the honor to go to the mountaintop temple in person and preached for half a day by the heavenly master Helanping.

Zhang Taixuan's trip to Hongmeng Mountain, what the process was, no one in the sect knows. But on the day of his inauguration, Wang Jing, a Hongmeng Mountain walker, actually came with a congratulatory gift and presided over the inauguration ceremony for him. The appointment and dismissal celebration of a sect, if there is an envoy from Hongmeng Mountain, it is already a supreme honor. It's just that most of the envoys of Hongmeng Mountain are ordinary offerings to the Taoist temple in the middle of the mountain, and only those who have a few major sects in the world, and who are deeply respected by the sect, can be the incomparably noble current elders attending the meeting. And if the walker Wang Jing comes, it can be regarded as the Heavenly Master himself.

Although Wang Jing has traveled the world on behalf of Hongmeng Mountain all the year round, the number of Taoist sect celebrations he has actually participated in has been less than single-handedly for hundreds of years.

Not only that, the gift given by the Taixu Temple to Xiqiao Mountain this time turned out to be an eight-character banner inscribed by Helan Tianshi himself, "The road is high, Xiqiao is prosperous". The eight vibrant, immortal and ethereal big characters, containing a very strong number of heavenly luck, it is said that the heavenly master scooped a scoop of clouds and sea of clouds in Xiling and studied ink and calligraphy, the words are pearls, and they are priceless.

It can be seen from this that the Taixu Temple's high hopes for Xiqiao Mountain's trust sect master are unprecedented.

In contrast, the scene of Cheng Mojin giving up the Stone Forest Cave and leading his subordinates to move to a new location is particularly bleak and gloomy. Despite the chapter too

Xuan tried his best to stay, and asked the old sect master to continue to stay in the cave sky, and he could choose to retreat in the Sleepy Dragon Terrace Stone Pavilion, where the aura was the most abundant. Zhang Taixuan felt sorry for this, but despite this, the new sect master was still very kind to the disciples and grandchildren of Cheng Mojin's lineage. The first decree of the new sect master was that the disciples who originally practiced in the Stone Forest Cave Heaven could still choose to stay in the Stone Forest Cave Heaven to practice as long as they wished.

For the old sect master, Zhang Taixuan retreated and wanted to invite him to settle in the Nine Eyes Peak, which is not a small scale in the palace temple, but Cheng Mojin still refused.

The three personal disciples, plus the other three teachers and nephews, were all willing to give up their own mountains and let the old sect master move in, but surprisingly, Cheng Mojin did not treat everyone equally, and did not accept this gift from any juniors, but directly chose Qingniuping, which was overgrown with weeds, which even owed a thatched house, as his retreat. Because the retreat was imminent, the sect was not allowed to build a large number of buildings and establish palaces for him, but directly let the disciples and grandchildren who followed him migrate to build a simple wooden house over there. Since it was a hasty preparation, everything was kept simple, and even the roof of the wooden house was planned to be made of local bark and thatch.

In this way, there are very few young disciples of the Primordial Stone Forest Cave Heaven who know that on everyone's cultivation path, they will consume mountains of gold and silver, and who are willing to follow the old ancestor to migrate.

Cheng Mo has been the suzerain for 300 years, and Xiqiao Mountain has been very prosperous for a while, and it is prosperous to recruit disciples and promote the world, which can be described as peach and plum all over the world. When he left office, he was just a dozen juniors accompanying him, plus a Jiang Taiyao who had become a wasted person, and an old grandson who had not followed the sect master for hundreds of years.

Everyone traveled lightly, and most of the luggage on the young disciples consisted of knives, axes, saws, chisels, and other logging tools that they needed to use when they got there, and tarpaulins that could be used for temporary camping. As for other daily supplies, Shilin Dongtian will send people to send them one by one.

The young man was silent all the way, full of thoughts. However, the old sect master had nothing to do, and his interest was extremely high, and he talked and laughed all the way.

"Taiyao, although the mountain is not high and the appearance is ordinary, it is a rare feng shui treasure. You and I can't use it. Besides, this was originally the mountain where your precious apprentice broke through the realm, and the sect allowed him to open a sect. Let's go to the beginning first, if we have a place to shelter from the wind and rain, we will be Shi Yuqing's family in the future. You young people, what are you doing one by one in despair? Without the palace and palace with flying eaves and arches, you can't cultivate the Dao? The set of boxing techniques created by that kid in Yuqing is really a unique trick, but it fits the avenue. If you practice hard, it may not be a cultivation method that does not require natural materials and treasures, and there are mountains of gold and silver. And the prospects of the avenue will never be worse than others. ”

Seeing that the disciples and grandchildren were still silently hurrying away, chatting without interest, the old sect master swaggered and shouted: "Don't believe it, I am your old sect master, a three-hundred-year-old sect master, and my words have weight." ”

It is difficult for young people to understand that the dignified peak patriarch, the number of people in the whole world, to go to a small hill and be a little grandmaster with no taboos is still temporary.

What is there to rejoice?

But what is really worth the young people of the group cheering is that when the peak turns around and the familiar Qingniuping appears in front of them, they find that there is a brand-new stone path that leads from the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain. Although the stone steps were hastily paved, they were ordinary stones made of local materials, not bluestone carved and shaped by stonemasons, but they were a stone path after all. Even in the middle of the mountainside, there is already a wooden frame gate with a mortise and tenon structure.

A mountain gate, even if it is a thatched-roof wooden house, at least it already has a face that does not grow even a face.

However, when they arrived at the mountain, the scene in front of them was another stunned person.

The natural flat land that was originally used for the Taoist competition has obviously been artificially leveled, and five or six wooden houses with new planks and thatched roofs are distributed like stars holding the moon. A two-storey stilted building stands out from the crowd in the center.

Although they were all built in a hurry, each wooden house has a different structure and pattern, but all of them have spacious halls, thick boards, meticulous craftsmanship, and strong mortise and tenon joints, which are obviously from the hands of famous craftsmen.

this

The houses, although far inferior to those palaces and palaces in the stone forest caves, are already mansions in the world for the young and old who have the ambition of eating and sleeping in the open.

Cheng Mojin's old eyes swirled around on the faces of the juniors accompanying him, and finally landed on the face of Chen Yuzhen, who looked calm.

Chen Yuzhen did not hide it and bluntly told the truth. It turned out that after the last Qingniuping incident, the sect master Cheng Mojin, no matter how the disciples and disciples were gearing up, they were not allowed. Regarding Cheng Cheng's robbery, he clearly said that he had already arranged to take over, and his own family affairs did not need to be worried about the children of the sect. And since then, Cheng Mojin has sent the entire sect to hunt the fly-winged silkworm before, and went to the ancestor hall to apologize.

The disciples of Shilin Cave Tianyi were at a loss for anything, so they began to be led by Chen Yuzhen, urging Shi Yuqing to open the Qingniuping Palace. As a result, Shi Yuqing only left one sentence, he would not ask for any of the money and financial expenses of the sect, and when he was free, he would go over there to cut a few logs and build two thatched huts.

Then Shi Yuqing brushed his sleeves and went down the mountain, nowhere to be found. Since Chen Yuzhen should have made a donation from the beginning, since his senior brother was not there, he was afraid that according to his indifferent temperament, it would change for a long time, so he simply funded himself, invited craftsmen and laborers, and began to build the palace.

However, he still followed Shi Yuqing's intentions, did not build a large amount of construction, although the layout structure, and even the setting of the courtyard fence, well-planned, meticulous, but all of them are plank and wood structures, and the house and the stilted building are first covered with high-quality tung oil soaked wooden boards, and then covered with lemongrass.

In this way, although the cost is not low, every house can be called a fine house, but it is not against his Shi Yuqing's wishes.

......

The politeness on the mountain, your humility and my concession, do not prevent the undercurrent of interest competition under the mountain from surging, and the water is dire.

Originally, there was only one martial arts academy in the three cities under the jurisdiction of Xiqiao Mountain, and the owner of the academy, Ma Qingfeng, had a good relationship with Shen Lang, the city lord of Luoma City, that is, the father of Shen Gongjie, a student of Fangliang Dao Academy. Over the years, the Xiqiaoshan Sect has also been very satisfied with the maintenance of public security and commerce in a place by the Qingfeng Martial Academy. Although Cheng Mojin seems a little unkind and old-fashioned in business, he and Ma Qingfeng are still half a year-old friend.

Therefore, the three branches of the Qingfeng Martial Arts Academy are stationed in the three cities, and they are both prosperous and prosperous with Xiqiao Mountain.

But just before Zhang Taixuan was accepted by the Zen master, Tieliuyi had already issued a notice to adjust the layout of the martial arts in the three cities. Ma Qingfeng could choose any city as the site of his own martial arts academy, but he had to give up the other two cities to a foreign martial arts master. That foreign martial artist is said to be a certain martial arts genius who is extremely important in Tieliuyi, but at the age of more than fifty, he has broken through the Seven Realms of Martial Arts and returned to the Void Realm.

The foreign martial artist's surname is Li, his name is Cunsan, and he is from Ganlanzhou. The division came out of a very powerful local martial arts academy, the master of the martial arts academy, surnamed Xiao. In addition, Li Cunsan's mother, Xiao, is also a descendant of the Xiao master.

And Xiao Tairou, one of the seven sons of Xiqiao Mountain, is the concubine of the Xiao family master.

These intricate interpersonal relationships on and off the mountain are enough for people to talk about for hundreds of years.

The so-called tree falls and scatters, but that's it. There are two martial arts institutes in Tongchuan City, first the Fang family monopolized a city, and then the Qin family crossed the river and entered the city blatantly, and the Fang family gradually declined, in fact, it is also a similar story.

Surprisingly, Ma Qingfeng, the sect master of the Martial Academy, who had a very good reputation among the three cities, neither chose the richest Lingshan City, nor did he choose the Luoma City that could take care of each other with his old friend Shen Lang, but in the end, only the Qingfeng Martial Academy of Yange City was left in a remote corner.

Yange City, the area and scale, is about the same as Lingshan City, but both the market value of commerce and the number of people are less than two-thirds of Lingshan City.

And at present, it seems that the smallest Luoma City, with Zhang Taixuan's appointment as the suzerain, will definitely build a large number of buildings, open up the trade routes between the two states, and make it a trade hub between the two states.

The chair of the city lord of Luoma City is still sitting firmly by the Shen family. As for how long it can sit, people up and down the mountain are waiting to see.
