Chapter 18: Master Leaves
In recent days, Li Qingxuan has only cultivated that sword, day after day. Originally, it was inevitably boring, but because Jindan grew itself, Li Qingxuan practiced his sword and entered the realm for a long time, and he felt the pleasure of continuous progress, and he had already covered up the boring feeling. But Li Qingxuan still couldn't help but wonder.
Zhang Laodao clearly said that if you can understand all kinds of swordsmanship, cultivate a swordsmanship, and match the pace of body methods, even if you don't have the method of carrying qi and blood, you can be called a master with these skills alone. Although Li Qingxuan is now cultivating, his previous martial arts have not fallen, and he is still the most top-notch person in the entire Tang Dynasty.
But these days, Li Qingxuan still only cultivates one sword. It turns out to be related to the perception of the rune, but what is the connection? "As a teacher, I only let you pay attention to the way of wielding the sword and stabbing the sword, as well as the change of posture, but I do not pass on other swordsmanship, do not pass on the light gong body method, and do not explain the changes in the sword path of various swordsmanship, precisely because your sword has a unique charm, and it is very similar to the rune perception of the teacher. ”
Zhang Laodao was about to explain to him, but suddenly paused, and sighed: "You are not yet at the time to try the talisman, and meditate on the cultivation of innate vitality." Li Qingxuan whispered, it should be that the master gave up his true qi and laid a foundation for him, which was naturally for his good.
Zhang Laodao sighed: "It's a pity that only Zhou Tiangong and the notes I traveled around have been left on the teacher, except for these two books, they have been lost, and I have no energy to write a copy for you at this time." Li Qingxuan shook his palms slightly, and the apology in his heart became heavier and heavier.
Zhang Laodao was silent for a long time, and said: "You have seven inches of true qi, and then you should sharpen yourself and comprehend it yourself. That's it, you soak Jin Dan in a pot of water, and you can still renew your life for the teacher a little, and if you go to Yushan, you can go farther. Li Qingxuan's heart was shocked, and he exclaimed, "Master wants to leave?"
Zhang Laodao nodded and said: "In that Yu Mountain, there is a miracle, Yu Mountain was called Wumu Mountain in ancient times, and because the mountain shape is like a lying cow, it is also known as Lying Niu Mountain, at the end of the Shang Dynasty, Jiang Taigong once lived in seclusion in this mountain to practice. I was in distress in the mountains, and I had never touched the mysteries within, and while I was still dying, I went to explore it again, and I might be able to leave a half of life. Even if you can't survive by luck, if you can see the fairy scenery, you will be blind to death. ”
Li Qingxuan knew in his heart that the master was only afraid that it would be difficult to get away with it, when he had 12 inches of true qi, which was comparable to the heyday of the great master of martial arts, he went to explore Yu Mountain, but he was still seriously injured and dying, and he escaped by luck, but now he only has two inches of true qi left, and there is little hope.
Li Qingxuan once went to the periphery of Yu Mountain, and he had only heard that this mountain was sinister, and there were countless poisonous insects and beasts in its depths, and there was no trace of people, and he never thought that there was such a miracle in this vast mountain range. The world is so big, and the mystery is endless.
"Yu Mountain is unfathomable, even if you cultivate to one or twelve inches of true qi, you can't easily explore it, if you can cultivate it into a sword pill in the future, you can break through the realm above the release of true qi, and you can investigate it. It's just that you must have a sense of awe in everything, be more cautious, even if you really break through the higher realm, you should be cautious in the Yu Mountain, you should retreat, and you should not be nostalgic. After all, it is not yet known whether the ability to release true qi can have much self-protection power in Yu Mountain. ”
Zhang Laodao sighed: "In addition, your red-tailed shrike is also trapped in Yu Mountain, and it must be more auspicious." "What?" Li Qingxuan exclaimed, "Master has seen the shrike bird?" "The bird was hit by a slingshot from a hunter, and it was a great luck that it did not die on the spot. ”
Zhang Laodao said slowly: "That bird may not be destined to die, since there is a miracle in it, it may be able to create a little bit of creation." Besides, you only thought it was dead before, and now it's good to have some hope. "The life of a bird is actually not in the eyes of Zhang Laodao. It's just that he knows that the shrike bird was left by Li Qingxuan's mother, and he must have seen things and people, and his feelings must be not shallow, so he mentioned this matter slightly. Li Qingxuan sighed secretly.
"This sword is borrowed as a teacher's protection, you now have seven inches of true qi, and you are also in the upper class among the masters of internal strength, it is not difficult to get a sword. Zhang Laodao stood up, stepped lightly, kicked a sword, and held the sword in his hand. Zhang Laodao lifted a pot of spiritual water, hung it on his waist, and walked with a sword. Li Qingxuan's face changed slightly, and he called: "Master... Take care..."
"Clutch gathers and disperses, there is always a fixed number. Zhang Laodao said with a smile: "Before you die, you can still meet your own disciples, and you can learn that above the release of true qi, there is a more mysterious realm, and your wish is enough." I just wanted to pass on the mantle and inheritance, I didn't want you to have this kind of creation, as a teacher, I couldn't bear you to stumble on the threshold of qi cultivation for decades, and to pass on your true qi, I just wanted you to go further in the future. ”
Li Qingxuan gritted his teeth slightly, and said in a low voice: "I will devote myself to cultivation, ascend to the release of true qi as soon as possible, and break this current barrier." "Then I will take the teacher and take a good look at the mysterious scenery above the release of true qi. Zhang Laodao laughed freely, laughed heartily, and pushed the door away. Li Qingxuan hurriedly caught up.
Zhang Laodao paused suddenly, and said in a deep voice: "I and Hao Zhijing, the master of the Shangzhen Guanguan, are brothers in the same sect, in our generation, we are all Zhizi generations, and when it is your turn, it should be ...... That's it, you don't have anything but inheriting one of the exercises of this meditation, and you don't even know anything about the precepts of this sect, and I don't have time to explain it to you, even if you name it and set the name of the Dao, but in the future, the name of the Dao number of the next generation, the next few generations, will also be lost. ”
"People in my generation, learn the Tao and practice, seek the true self, remove the false and keep the true, and there is a Xuan character in your name, so it is called Dao Xuan. "Dao Xuan Zhenren, Li Qingxuan. ”
The grass and trees are verdant, but the sky is a little dark, and at a glance, it adds a little gloom. Zhang Laodao looked ahead and sighed abruptly: "The inheritance of Shangzhenguan has been handed over to you, and from this generation onwards, everything starts from scratch." What sect precepts, what junior Taoist numbers, all up to you, judging by your good heart, and not lacking in wisdom, I don't think it will make my true view of the sect become an evil sect. ”
Li Qingxuan was slightly stunned, and said in a low voice: "Master, rest assured, Shangzhenguan is a sect of cultivating and seeking immortals, and I will seek immortals wholeheartedly and not fall into the evil way." "Then I'll be relieved. ”
Zhang Laodao groaned: "Actually, the Shangzhen View was in my ancestor's generation, and I heard that it was also a person among the immortals, until the first generation was completely lost. I hope that your generation will be able to restore the glory of your ancestors. After that, he paused and said in a low voice: "If you want to go out for a walk in the future, use your Taoist name, and don't add the name of Shangzhenguan." ”
Li Qingxuan was stunned, he was originally a spiritual person, and he was suddenly shocked, "Master, doesn't you think that someone intends to be unfavorable to the True Vision?" "I don't know, since I cultivated True Qi, I have all kinds of keen senses, and even the killing machine can sense it. And over the years, when I have traveled the world, I always faintly feel that someone is peeping, although this perception is extremely shallow, only two or three times in the past few decades, I just think it is an illusion. ”
Zhang Laodao said in a low voice: "When I return from Yushan, I feel relaxed. Well, maybe it's just an illusion. "For decades, there have been people snooping? What is that person snooping on? Can Zhang Laodao not even be able to detect, what kind of cultivation is that person? With such cultivation, why is he just peeping and not starting? Maybe it's really an illusion.
But when he was leaving, Zhang Laodao still left a cautious attitude, not to mention anything else, that is, he had walked the world for decades, and he had inadvertently offended many martial arts masters who had released their internal strength. Li Qingxuan only replied, in fact, he didn't have much idea of walking the world in his heart at present. In the first two years, he walked with a sword, happy and uncomfortable, but there were times when he was bored.
Now that I have true qi, it is not bad to concentrate on practicing in a bamboo house and feel the wonders of cultivation. Zhang Laodao naturally saw his thoughts, and smiled secretly in his heart: "Such a light temperament is suitable for concentrating on cultivation, or when he is tired of this day, it is better to walk around." Li Qingxuan remembered something, gritted his teeth slightly, and said, "Master." Zhang Laodao smiled: "What?"
Li Qingxuan asked, "Master, my father was in the prime of life and died of an illness a few years ago, but the illness was so strange that I always felt that it was not simple. "Sick?" Zhang Laodao pondered a little and said: "When I first arrived in Suzhou Mansion as a teacher, I checked it several times, but I don't know much about these diseases, or poison or whatever, maybe you can go to the capital." ”
Li Qingxuan thought that Zhang Laodao had nearly a hundred years of experience and could give advice, but he never thought that he would ask to no avail. "It is rumored that there is a national teacher in Chang'an, the capital, who is very mysterious, but he is the supervisor of Si Tiantai, who has been to the capital several times as a teacher, but he has not had a chance to see him. ”
Zhang Laodao sighed: "As a teacher, I have traveled to many places with immortal deeds, but I have found nothing, but I have seen many miracles, but what really makes me a little worried is this Lord Si Tiantai's supervisor." "Go, I'll leave you two books, one is my travel notes, and the other is Tai Zhou Tiangong, followed by the understanding of the Fu Dao formation, you can read it a little when you are tired from practice." ”
"It's not helpful to say more. "I went for the teacher. Zhang Laodao shook his hand and walked forward slowly, he held a sword in one hand and a kettle hanging from his waist. Li Qingxuan stood in front of the courtyard gate, and saw the old figure walking farther and farther, and the rickety body seemed to be gradually straightening. The sky was dark and the vegetation was gloomy. Zhang Laodao walked with a sword, humming a tune, he drank a sip of spiritual water, and swept the sword, with the demeanor of a sword fairy.
