Chapter Eighty-Eight: Rejection of Arts

On the morning of early winter, the first heavy snow of winter finally ushered in.

The white snowflakes as light as catkins dance in the sky like fairies with the cold winter wind. After having fun, they finally fell down one after another, putting on layers of white and crystal new clothes for the mountains and mountains in the Xuanwu Mountains of Beiyue, looking like a bride to be married in a snow-white wedding dress.

Yuntianling, a famous mountain that was once known as the first ridge outside the Saiwai, can only know its potential by looking at its name.

In the mountains of Xuanwu Mountain, this mountain range that seems to have been modified by a divine sword and ghost axe stands abruptly in this group of mountains, standing alone between heaven and earth. I saw its majestic and majestic posture rising continuously, and the peak reached into the sky. If you stand in the distance and look at it, you can only see it like a veil of clouds and mist wrapped around it, and you will never see its true face at all.

At the foot of the Yuntian Ridge, there is a rushing river called Wangchuan, which cuts off the mountains and mountains that were originally connected to it. There is a stone bridge on the Wangchuan River called: Xunxian Bridge

There is a stone ladder at one end of the stone bridge, the stone ladder is not wide, about three meters or so, the stone ladders are all according to the Taoist concept of ninety-nine to one, built with high-quality marble floor tiles, every place where it is turned into one, there is a hexagonal pavilion, outside the pavilion the mountains are full of countless cedars, shrubs, and some unknown towering trees, because of the first snow in this winter, there is no trace of all kinds of birds and beasts.

There are guardrails on both sides of the stone staircase. Flowers, grasses, fish and insects above the guardrail, pavilions and pavilions...... All of them use different carving techniques to make their various postures lifelike and very beautiful. The stone staircase winds and circles from the bottom to the top, and finally disappears into the clouds and mist on the mountainside of this Genting Ridge. And the Xianyun Sect of the Xiuzhen Sect, which has stood with the Eastern Dragon Divine Prefecture for thousands of years, was built on this Cloud Sky Ridge.

Spiral up the stone staircase, and at the end of the stone staircase is a cliff opening. The place at the mouth of the cliff is quite flat, in the meantime, a path paved with bluestone slabs connects several rockeries with different postures, pavilions, plus a majestic drum tower called Wangchuan Tower.

In front of the drum tower, there is a boulder that seems to be made into nature, and its posture is afraid that there are more than ten zhang, but under the contrast of this drum tower, it is indeed slightly small. On its boulder, "Xianyunzong" three big characters, with cursive techniques carved dragon flying phoenix dance, at a glance all from the hands of famous artists.

Behind the drum tower is a long pavilion, behind the long pavilion there are several side by side iron cables connected to a huge stone in the mountainside of Yunding Peak opposite, under the iron cable is an abyss called Ghost Stream. Because this iron cable is extremely difficult and dangerous, and there is no foreshadowing on the iron cable, it is called Xianrendu.

At this moment, on this terrifying immortal crossing just by looking at it, a young Taoist priest actually ignored the clouds and mist, and the bottomless ghost stream sorrow, and walked and flew on the slippery iron cable.

In a few breaths, the man was on the other side. There is still a long pavilion on the shore, and after the long pavilion, an antique bell tower comes into view. It is echoing the drum tower on the opposite bank.

When that person came out of the tall arch of the drum tower, he could see the true face of his Immortal Cloud Sect at this moment. I saw that all kinds of palaces, pavilions, pavilions, and courtyards were selected to build here in a suitable location according to the trend of its clouds and mountains.

I saw that some of them built streams on the edge of the stream, some of them stood under the cliffs, and some of them stood between the cliffs...... They seem to be disconnected, and they seem to be one.

At this time, the man had passed the long pavilion and entered the drum tower, and after passing through the drum tower, there was a stone staircase behind it, and at the end of the stone staircase was a square.

There is a huge tripod on the square, and the green smoke curls in the tripod, exuding a faint fragrance. Behind the square, there is a nine-step stone staircase, on both sides of the stone staircase, each has three cranes made of bronze standing on its side, at the end of the stone staircase, it is a tall temple, the name is called: Zhenwu Palace.

"Please ask Xiantong to report it, and say that Deacon Lichuan Building, Xue Zilin has something important to ask to see Elder Yin. The young Taoist priest who had already gone up to the hall waved slightly, and said to a Taoist boy standing outside the door holding a dust.

The Yin Elder in the mouth of this young Taoist priest was originally named Yin Wuji, and he was one of the two elders of Yin and Yang in this Xianyun Sect, and was in charge of all the daily affairs of the disciples in this Xianyun Sect. It is rumored that the cultivation of a body is unfathomable, but the temperament is eccentric.

"Deacon Xue, wait a minute, I'll report it. After the fairy boy finished speaking, he turned around and entered the temple.

In a moment, the fairy boy had already come out of the hall and said to Xue Zilin: "Deacon Xue, please come with me." “

"There's a fairy,"

"Deacon Xue is polite!"

......

While they were talking, the two of them had entered the temple. There is a gilded statue of the god in the center of the temple. The statue is preceded by an octagonal incense burner, and a Taoist in front of the furnace is sitting cross-legged, with his eyes closed, meditating.

"Elder, Deacon Xue brought it. The boy said respectfully.

"Stand down!"

"Yes!" Dao Tong brushed off the dust and retreated.

When the boy came out of the hall, Xue Zilin, who was standing behind him, shook his head slightly, and said: "Elder Yuyin, there is a woman named Ye Qing outside the mountain, it is said that she was introduced by the former corpse brother of Elder Xiao, who has gone to the immortal, hoping to learn from the master in this sect, I don't know if I can ......."

Before Xue Zilin's words were finished, Elder Yin, who was still sitting in front of the incense burner, interrupted his questioning and asked rhetorically, "Zilin, how many years have you been in the sect?"

"Elder Yu, Zilin Bucai, has been in the sect since he was three years old, and he is still more than thirty years old. Although Xue Zilin didn't understand what Elder Yin meant, he could only cautiously reply truthfully.

"In that case, don't you know the rules of this sect to open the mountain and accept disciples. Elder Yin continued to ask rhetorically.

Speaking of the rules and precepts of the Immortal Cloud Sect, how could Xue Zilin, who had been in the sect for decades, not know. It's just that today, I saw that the woman named Ye Qing outside the mountain came all the way to learn art regardless of the wind and snow.

He was kind-hearted, he was impressed by the woman's piety, and he was the person who was recommended by Senior Brother Xiao, although Elder Xiao had already passed away, but Elder Xiao and Elder Yin were in the same door after all, and he must have opened the door for him. Therefore, Xue Zilin hurriedly came to report for him, who would have thought that he would be blocked by him before he could tell the truth of this incident

"This ......" For a while, Xue Zilin, who was standing respectfully behind him, was already a little speechless.

"Stand down! Elder Yin was simply unwilling to give Xue Zilin a chance to continue speaking.

Faced with this result, Xue Zilin knew that if he continued to talk about it, he would not only be able to continue to do this deacon, but also whether he could continue to do something as simple as whether he could continue to do it. After being in the sect for so many years, he was familiar with the temper of the elder in front of him. Therefore, he did not dare to say more.

"The subordinate retired. Xue Zilin shook slightly, got up and retreated out of the hall.

Xue Zilin, who came out of the palace, looked at the sky that had begun to snow again, shook his head and smiled bitterly, and then hurried towards the immortal crossing.

At this time, outside the Wangchuan Tower, Ye Qing, who came to the Xianyun Sect to learn art, was standing in front of the building, looking at the majestic and majestic drum tower incredibly, and had long forgotten that the goose feather snow had begun to fall overhead.

......

"Girl, I reported your matter to the elders of the outer sect, but the elders said that it is indeed inconvenient for this sect to open a sect and accept disciples now. I think you better go back!" Xue Zilin, who had arrived in front of Wangchuan Tower, opened his mouth and interrupted Ye Qing, who was in a daze in front of the building. Xue Zilin said it a little tactfully, because he didn't want to hit the devotion to the Immortal Cloud Sect in the heart of the woman in front of him.

"Huh, that...... You're ...... that immortal What are you talking about?" Ye Qing, who had already come back to his senses, didn't hear clearly just now, so he asked a little embarrassed.

"Girl, I said you should go back! This sect is indeed inconvenient to open a sect and accept disciples now. Xue Zilin said as he walked towards Ye Qing.

......

While the two were talking, Xue Zilin had already arrived at the woman.

"It's not...... That immortal, you see that I have come all the way to seek art alone, can you look at the face of Uncle Xiao, who has already gone to the immortal, and help me to intercede, can you see it?!"

"Girl, don't you know, firstly, it is indeed inconvenient for this sect to open a mountain to accept apprentices at present, and secondly, each sect has the rules of each sect, so ......" Xue Zilin really didn't want to explain, so he directly refused: "So I said Miss Ye, you better go back!"

"No, that...... That immortal, can you help me intercede with the elders in charge of the sect. You see, after all...... After all......"

Ye Qing still didn't want to give up, although before, Ye Qing had already learned from Xue Zilin that Uncle Xiao, whom he had never met, had passed away, but presumably they should be able to achieve their wish under their sincerity. Who would have thought that in the end it would be such a result.

"Miss Ye, this matter, although Xiao Ke has a heart, but there is really nothing he can do, I think you should please go back!"

Seeing that Ye Qing had something to do, Xue Zilin clearly knew that this matter could not be allowed to make his own decisions. In addition, since the founding of this Immortal Cloud Sect, although there are countless disciples who have come to worship the mountain to learn art. However, at that time, no one has yet been able to enter the sect.

The reason for this is all because there is an unwritten rule in this Immortal Cloud Sect: that is, he can only choose you, not you.

"Miss Ye, please go back!" Xue Zilin looked at Ye Qing, who was already covered in snowflakes, and shook his head helplessly and said.

"That immortal ......" Ye Qing was still trying to say some words of prayer, but before Ye Qing's words could be spoken, Xue Zilin had already turned around, waved his hand and shook his head: "Girl, please go back!

For such a result, Xue Zilin was also powerless, With his "sigh" long sigh, Xue Zilin had disappeared into the tall arch of the drum tower, leaving only that long sigh, which had not dispersed for a long time before the mountain gate of this Xianyun Sect.
