Volume 1 Qingxuan Youdao 11. Upper Spirit
"Uncle Shi. ”
Seeing this, the old man in front of Xuan Feng opened his mouth to remind.
Tian Chengzi didn't respond after hearing this, and raised his hand to touch Sima Wenzhi's neck. It then went up his neck to the back of his head.
"You two go first, and if anything else, I will send for you." Tian Chengzi withdrew his hand after groping and said to Xuanfeng and the others.
After Tian Chengzi withdrew his hand, Sima Wenzhi regained his freedom. He gasped for breath and watched Xuanfeng and the others leave.
"Come with me. ”
Seeing the two walking away, Tian Chengzi also walked outside the house. When he was about to walk out of the house, he turned around and commanded.
Sima asked if he didn't know what was going on, and resisted again. But remembering the experience just now, I changed my mind and followed.
The place where Tianchengzi took him was the Shangqing Palace.
Shangqing Hall is located on the upper peak of Shangqing Peak, covering an area of 100 zhang. The main hall is divided into three parts, the middle is the main hall, and both sides are side rooms.
The main hall is the main hall, which enshrines the patriarch of the Three Qing Dynasties, and is the place where the sect deliberates on weekdays. If there is an emergency, the head of the hall and the elders will meet in the main hall.
Outside the Shangqing Palace, there are usually disciples of the sect guarding it, but at this time, there is no guard outside the hall.
Earlier, the guards had been ordered to leave. This person is Xuanli, a Shangqing Taoist, and he is a disciple of Tianchengzi.
Outside the Shangqing Palace, the two arrived one after another. Tian Chengzi did not enter the main hall, and after Sima Wenzhi approached, he took him into the side hall.
There are also three statues enshrined in the side hall, and the makeup is different from that of the Sanqing patriarch. The statue is at the top of the inner side, and below is a neatly arranged jade plate.
There are round holes on one side of the jade plate, and the cowhide rope passes through the holes to connect the jade plate and hang it in one place.
At the end of the jade plate, there is a gap everywhere. The void is not empty, and there is a jade plate with words on it.
Since the Qin and Han dynasties, most of the characters used in the writing of the world are seals and lines, but the fonts on the jade plates are not the same as these. Sima asked for careful identification, and only recognized the word "heaven and earth".
When Sima asked him to look at the situation in the house, Tian Chengzi began to be busy on the side. Although the things he has to do are not cumbersome, there are some ancestral systems to be followed, which cannot be perfunctory.
"Mi'er, do you know what kind of place this is?" After a few incense sticks, Tian Chengzi stopped his movements and asked.
"I don't know. Sima Wenzhi stopped looking at it and turned to respond.
"Then do you know why I sent someone to summon you?" Tian Chengzi had already expected the reply, and asked after listening to it.
"I don't know. Sima asked and replied truthfully again.
"This is the Shangqing Palace, and it is the place where the disciples of the past dynasties were naturalized in the Shangqing Sect. Tian Chengzi then informed. After being informed, I asked again without delay.
"Can you join my Shangqing line?"
Sima asked him but did not respond immediately, and he did not know how to respond.
The matter of naturalization in the Shangqing Sect was something he had requested before, but at this time he was a little entangled in his heart.
If you pursue a thing, if you finally obtain it after a calamity, you will be extremely happy and precious. If it is given by others for no reason, it is normal for people to be entangled and uneasy.
"Why does the Dao Elder want me to become a naturalized sect?" If you can't respond, you have to respond, and after thinking about it, Sima asked asked.
"This..."Tian Chengzi didn't expect him to respond like this, and he couldn't reply for a while.
"Teach skills, uphold the will of heaven, and support the right path. But he was a patriarch, and he quickly reacted and opened his mouth to explain.
Such an explanation was a bit far-fetched, and Sima shook his head after hearing this.
Taoist naturalization is to uphold the will of heaven and do the right thing for heaven. But compared to other people who need to be investigated, Tian Chengzi took the initiative to invite, and this explanation is not convincing.
"Xuan Feng has told everything in the forest, and I already know your background. The Sima clan has also produced human kings, and the descendants of the royal family cannot be humiliated. Seeing this, Tian Chengzi explained again.
"Besides, in the dark, you will go to Qingxuan Mountain, which is also a fate. The Shangqing Yimai intends to protect you, and it also intends to form this good fate. After the explanation, he added.
"Thank you for your success. After Sima asked, the uneasiness in his heart gradually dissipated. Then he spoke, indicating his attitude.
After hearing this, a smile appeared on Tian Chengzi's face.
Although it intends to guide the people in front of them to naturalize the sect, naturalization needs to go through the test. Tian Chengzi then warned Sima to ask him not to resist when the remnant soul entered his body later. Resisting will only lead to trouble, but if there are no accidents, endure a moment of discomfort.
Sima Wenzhi heard about this, and he was already prepared in his heart, and he responded with his mouth.
As soon as he responded, Tian Chengzi's face suddenly became solemn, and he began to pinch his hands. Then the mantra changed more and more rapidly, and the mantra sounded. After more than a dozen breaths, the hand stopped, and his hands pointed to the end of the jade plate.
With his gesture, a halo of light slowly rose and floated towards Sima Wenzhi. It didn't take long for contact with him to begin.
The halo was originally only a wisp, but after contact, it quickly turned into a ball, enveloping him. Then the halo grew fainter and began to seep into him.
It just seeped in, and then quickly seeped out, without staying, and turned into a halo again and returned to its original place.
Tian Chengzi saw the result, there was no surprise, but a trace of disappointment appeared in his eyes. Then, without delay, he pinched the previous trick again, and caused another halo.
Moments later, the scene repeats itself, and the result is the same.
The disappointment in Tian Chengzi's eyes turned into doubt, and he hurriedly repeated the previous action and introduced it again.
The result was still no different, and Tian Chengzi's face became gloomy.
His face was gloomy, because he was extremely disappointed in his heart. The three halos that Tianchengzi had just received came from the jade plates of the Xuan, Huang, and Yuan dynasties, and all failed.
"The Taoist doesn't need to care too much, presumably the kid is destined not to be accepted by the Daomen, and it has nothing to do with the Daoist. ”
Although Sima asked Zhi to not know the details, he could also deduce the general situation. Seeing Tian Chengzi's gloomy face, he took the initiative to speak to comfort him.
"This matter may really be just my wishful thinking, the world is unpredictable, and you don't have to be uneasy. Even if you can't naturalize the Shangqing lineage, there are other ways to stay in the mountains. Tian Chengzi sighed and persuaded him to go back.
After a stick of incense, the two left, different from when they came, Sima Wenzhi walked in front.
"Hold your breath, close your eyes, don't look back, don't resist. Just after walking a few steps, there was a voice from behind him.
Sima asked if he didn't know what was going on, so he subconsciously did so. Tian Chengzi did not use his tricks, and forcibly drew a halo from the jade plate with the words "heaven and earth", and poured it from the Shencong acupoint above his head.
As soon as it was injected, several divine senses broke in from outside the hall. Tian Chengzi was already prepared, and before his divine sense arrived, he quickly laid down a ban and blocked it all. Looking back at Sima and asking him, he saw that things were starting to change.
Two halos of light entered the body, and one of them returned to its original place again, as before. The other one showed no anomalies and disappeared into his body. Subsequently, Sima Wenzhi's body began to give birth to light.
After a moment, the light faded. Seeing that there was no abnormality, Tian Chengzi knew that this matter had been completed, and exhaled with a long breath.
"Dao Chief, what's wrong?" Sima asked when he heard the sound.
"Nothing, nothing, no need to be restrained, you can open your eyes. Tian Chengzi replied and commanded.
"What is the result?" Sima asked further after being thoughtful and unconvinced.
"Very good, very good, unexpectedly, you are already a disciple of the Shangqing lineage. Tian Chengzi smiled.
"Thank you to the chief patriarch for your success. ”
After Sima asked, his heart rejoiced. With joy, he opened his mouth and thanked him.
Although he didn't know what had just happened, he could guess that it was Tian Chengzi who made another attempt at the end. Judging by his reaction, the attempt paid off.
"Don't call the patriarch, don't call the patriarch. After hearing this, Tian Chengzi refused again and again. Then, in Sima Wenzhi's puzzled gaze, he took out a jade plate above and handed it to him.
"Ground..."Sima Wenzhi took it and looked at it, only recognizing the handwriting on the front.
"Earth spirit, this is your way. Heaven and earth, in the future, for the heavens, don't insult your Dao number. Tian Chengzi then added and gave another instruction.
"Disciple remember. Sima asked and replied respectfully.
"Not only the Dao number, but also this jade plate, in the future, it should be extremely cherished, do not damage it, and do not send it back to the sect. Tian Chengzi then instructed.
"Why?" Sima asked subconsciously after hearing this.
"That halo is a remnant soul, and it is one with the original in the jade plate. If you return the jade plate, the remnant soul in your body will also return, and there will be many disadvantages. Tian Chengzi's response seemed more like a warning.
"What if it returns on its own?" Sima asked, worried.
"By then, there is no need to worry about it. "Tian Chengzi has an extraneous meaning.
"Why?" asked Sima Zhi in hot pursuit.
"The remnant soul returned automatically, and most of this person has already died. ”
