Chapter 7: Apprenticeship
When he arrived at the Qingxuan Realm, he didn't know if it was true or autosuggestion, Li Haoran felt that he was breathing more freely, maybe it was because the aura of heaven and earth was more abundant. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 Increasingly, there were more and more cultivators flying through the sky, and ordinary people in the town were not surprised to see these monks who rose and fell.
flew all the way to the east, and after more than ten days, Chu Jin told Li Haoran that there was still half a day to arrive. Li Haoran was shocked, it was true that after such a long flight, the first novelty had faded, and he felt a little tired. After a long day like this, an undulating cyan mountain range appeared at the end of Li Haoran's gaze, and some of the peaks in the mountain range rose up to the sky without the peak, so far away it already made people feel that the abyss was steep and unattainable.
Behind the mountains, there is a golden glow that sets off the peaks as if they were dreamlike, revealing a breathtaking beauty. Li Haoran was dazzled, and only felt that only the vastness of heaven and earth and the wonder of creation could form such a scene.
Chu Jin in front felt his emotions and turned his head and smiled slightly, as if he remembered the scene when he first came here.
All the way forward, Chu Jin suddenly pointed down: "Haoran, look there." Li Haoran looked at the place he pointed, but there was a narrow lake in front of the mountain range in the distance, and there was nothing strange about the sparkling waves in the lake.
Li Haoran looked at Chu Jin in wonder and said, "Senior Brother Chu, what are you looking at?" Chu Jin pointed to the lake with some eagerness and said, "Do you know how this lake was formed?"
"Huh?" Li Haoran thought for a moment, Senior Brother Chu asked, then this lake is definitely not naturally formed. Li Haoran had a possibility in his heart, but he felt that this idea was a little ridiculous, so he could only reply: "I don't know." ”
Chu Jin said with some yearning: "More than four thousand years ago, the establishment of this sect was not stable, and some sects that had festivals with our sect united with overseas monks to seize the blessed land of Canglan Mountain. At that time, there were few people in the middle gate of my Canglan Gate, and the enemy soldiers were divided into several routes, which made the ancestors tired to deal with it. At the critical juncture, the Haoyue Patriarch of the Tilting Moon Sword Sect came to the aid with the Tilting Moon Sword, and it was in front of this Canglan Mountain that the enemy who attacked this way stopped here, and it was difficult to advance an inch. And this lake was cut out by the Haoyue Patriarch with great mana with the Moon Tilting Sword during the Great War. According to the ancient books in the door, when the time came, a sword slashed out of the sky and the earth, and the sword light soared into the sky. The clouds were scattered, the earth was divided, and the sword qi stretched for hundreds of miles. And this crack in the ground is thousands of meters deep into the ground, and the sword intent on the rock is awe-inspiring for hundreds of years before dissipating. ”
Although Li Haoran thought of this possibility just now, he was still deeply shocked when he was told by Chu Jin that this was really the case. It didn't look good from a distance just now, but now that I flew closer and saw this lake thousands of meters long and nearly 100 meters wide, I couldn't help but think that this was a person and a sword, and I couldn't help but feel excited and yearning!
Is this the method of immortal cultivators?
Can you penetrate the heavens and the earth by yourself?
Li Haoran is open-minded and wants to let out a long howl, this is the power he is seeking.
Chu Jin said: "Such a character and such a style are really desirable!" Li Haoran blushed and nodded. Chu Jin exhaled slightly, and said softly: "The immortal road is a long and difficult period, maybe with these many immortal techniques and Dao methods, people don't feel so boring." ”
Li Haoran was puzzled when he heard Chu Jin's words, but he didn't ask, he was now more eager to become an immortal cultivator, so he was even more nervous, and he didn't know if he could enter the Canglan Gate.
Chu Jin couldn't guess what he thought when he saw Li Haoran's nervous appearance, but he also knew that his cultivation was not enough, and he couldn't decide on the matter of accepting apprentices in the door. After getting along for so long, he could see that Li Haoran was very enthusiastic and yearning for the journey of cultivating immortals. If he hadn't been able to enter the Canglan Gate this time, he would have been very disappointed.
If Li Haoran fails to get the permission of the head of the sect to worship in the door, he will go to ask the master to keep him at that time. Let's see if there is a chance for him.
Chu Jin secretly made up his mind in his heart, but he didn't tell Li Haoran, after all, everything is still unknown.
With an idea in his heart, Chu Jin, who was optimistic and cheerful, no longer thought about those troublesome things, and when he saw Li Haoran's frowning appearance, he said with a heartfelt understanding: "It's almost here, there will be a better scene later." ”
Li Haoran looked at him with an expression that you will ask me, and I won't tell you if you ask, and he knew that he wouldn't say it if he asked now. However, Li Haoran still asked in order to satisfy his senior brother's intentions: "Where is there a better scene?" Chu Jin smiled proudly in anticipation: "You'll find out later." ”
Slowly flying forward, the mountains gradually enlarge in the eyes, giving people the feeling of looking up to the mountains. The mountains are full of greenery, but the fog is thick and you can't see the scene. Through the gap between the peaks, people can see the endless sea behind the mountain range, Li Haoran looked at the sea like a mirror that exudes golden light in the sunset, and thought in his heart, this is the origin of the name Linhai Realm.
When they arrived at Canglan Mountain, the three of them stopped, Mu Lingran flipped his right hand, and a cyan jade talisman engraved with water patterns appeared in his hand, and Mu Lingran pinched a trick to hit the jade talisman forward. The jade talisman flew forward for some distance and disappeared into the air in an instant. Li Haoran was surprised when he saw a ripple flash in the air in front of him, and two young men in white wearing cyan water patterns embroidered on their sleeves appeared in front of the three of them out of thin air.
Chu Jin explained to Li Haoran in a low voice: "In order to prevent outsiders from probing, our mountain protection array has a way to shield the eyes. Outside, you can only see the foggy green mountains, and if you want to enter, you must have the jade talisman of the sect and the disciples of the mountain guard to open the door. Li Haoran didn't seem to understand it, but he felt that he was about to open a door to a new world, and this world was so wonderful and wonderful!
The two mountain guards came out and saw the three of them saluting with one palm: "It turns out that Senior Brother Mu and Senior Brother Chu are back." Mu Lingran nodded and said, "I've been out for more than two months, how is everything okay in the door?" one of them replied, "Everything is as usual." Then he made a gesture and said, "Please." Mu Lingran nodded, and flew away first, and Chu Jin also took Li Haoran to follow.
Li Haoran only felt a flash in front of his eyes, and then he became stunned when he saw the scene in front of him. Chu Jin looked back at his appearance and smiled proudly.
If he hadn't known that this was Canglan Gate from the beginning, and that Chu Jin personally drove him in, Li Haoran would have thought that he had arrived in the immortal realm. It seems to be a world of its own, surrounded by green mountains, clouds and mist, mountain streams splashing, and all kinds of colorful feathered birds leisurely passing through the clouds. From time to time, there were flashes of light in the air, and it was someone flying in the sky. Looking up, there are faint mystical patterns floating in the sky. Surrounded by mountains, occasionally through the clouds, some roof ridges and cornices can be seen in the treetops. Li Haoran was dizzying when he heard Chu Jin say, "Okay, it's almost there." Li Haoran came back to his senses and exclaimed: "Senior Brother Chu, this is really like a fairyland!" Chu Jin smiled: "Yes! I was also drunk when I saw it for the first time." The three of them came to the highest peak in the mountain and descended upward.
It was a huge square, paved with mirror-smooth white jade, and light clouds and mist danced on it and became ethereal and dusty. At the end of the square is hundreds of staircases tens of meters high, leading to a huge cyan palace above.
The palace is magnificent and solemn, although it is far away, but you can feel a majestic and solemn momentum rushing towards you. Behind the cyan hall, the clouds and mist surround it, and as the clouds float, there are faint courtyard walls and eaves floating in it, and I don't know how many houses are hidden in it.
There are two side halls on the left and right sides of the square below the main hall, and then there are rows of houses.
The three of them walked towards the palace together, and they also met some disciples in the door on the way, from these are all gifts to Mu Lingran first, it can be seen that Mu Lingran has a lot of prestige in the door, but Mu Lingran does not hold his own identity, so he returns the salute one by one, greets a few words, and then continues to walk forward. Walk through the square, climb the stone steps and stand in front of the main hall, only to see a huge plaque hanging on the lintel of the main hall, which is upright and upright with the three big characters of "Canglan Palace". Standing in front of this huge hall, Li Haoran felt that he was as small as an ant, looking up at the three big golden characters on the plaque, a solemn atmosphere rose in his heart, and Li Haoran unconsciously lightened his steps.
"Senior Brother Mu is back. The two white-clothed young men standing on duty in the door of the main hall arched their hands.
Mu Lingran arched his hand and said: "I just returned to the mountain, can the two junior brothers know where the master is?" One of them said: "The head of the master and Uncle Su are in the Tingtao Pavilion in the back mountain." ”
After Mu Lingran thanked him, he said to Li Haoran and the others: "I'll take you to see the master." Then go to a bluestone path to the left of the main hall.
Walking to the bluestone road, Chu Jin stepped forward and stopped Mu Lingran and said, "Senior Brother Mu, I won't go." I'll go back and tell Master that I'm safe. ”
Mu Lingran thought for a while and nodded, "Okay, you've worked hard during this time, go back and have a good rest." Chu Jin nodded "um" and said to Li Haoran: "If you worship in this sect, you can come to Stargazing Peak to find me." ”
Li Haoran didn't know what the result was, but he still arched his hand and said, "Okay, thank you Senior Brother Chu for taking care of me these days." ”
Chu Jin patted Li Haoran on the shoulder and said with a smile: "It's just a trivial matter, you come on yourself! I'll go first." Then he arched his hand to Mu Lingran, turned around and walked towards the square.
Li Haoran watched Chu Jin stride away, his clothes fluttering like an immortal in the mountains and clouds, and he couldn't help but feel envious. The tension that had just been temporarily dissipated by the fairyland-like scenery lingered in my heart again.
Watching Chu Jin slowly walk down the stairs, Li Haoran turned his head and saw Mu Lingran standing behind him. Li Haoran felt rude and apologized: "I lost my mind for a while, and I made Senior Brother Mu wait for a long time." Mu Lingran shook his head and said, "It's okay, Senior Brother Chu is enthusiastic and cheerful, you can be closer to him in the future." ”
When Li Haoran heard this, he heard that Mu Lingran seemed to have concluded that he could join the Canglan Sect, and although he was puzzled, he still said: "Yes, but Senior Brother Mu is a square man and calm, and he is also an example for us to learn." Mu Lingran smiled and didn't answer, and when he walked forward first, Li Haoran hurriedly followed.
After about a meal, a salty smell and the sound of waves came from ahead, and Li Haoran knew that this should be to the beach. Sure enough, after turning a mountain corner, what appeared in front of Li Haoran was an undulating sea. The waves have been beating against the walls of Canglan Mountain for thousands of years, making loud noises. At this time, the road ahead is already a small stone staircase attached to the steep mountain wall, which makes people feel frightened at first sight. At the end of the road is a boulder jutting out of the mountain wall, and a quadrangular pavilion is built on top of this boulder, and the whole thing hangs in the air.
From a distance, there were two people sitting at the stone table in the pavilion, but because they were too far away and the light was already dim, Li Haoran could only distinguish that they were a man and a woman, but he couldn't see the appearance of the two.
Mu Lingran said: "You wait here first, and I'll report it." With that, he walked up the stone steps on the mountain wall and walked towards the pavilion as if he were walking on the ground.
I saw Mu Lingran walk outside the pavilion and stop, bow down and say a word to the man in the pavilion. After the man raised his hand and said a word, Mu Lingran saluted the woman again and walked into the pavilion, Mu Lingran stood beside the stone table and spoke to the two, and then stretched out his hand and pointed at Li Haoran's side.
Li Haoran saw Mu Lingran pointing at him and hurriedly bowed to the pavilion, whether his wish can be realized depends on now, he doesn't want to leave the impression that he doesn't know how to be polite.
After a while, Mu Lingran came over and said, "You come with me, don't be nervous, tell my master and uncle about your experience." Li Haoran took a deep breath and slowly exhaled. Nodding his head, he walked towards the extremely dangerous stone steps, only saying that this is a test for himself, if he can't overcome this difficulty, what else can he talk about worshipping the immortal cultivation sect?
Li Haoran's feet were just about to fall when he felt that his right hand was grabbed, and then his body floated towards the front lightly, and a few ups and downs reached the flat ground outside the pavilion.
After Li Haoran glanced at Mu Lingran gratefully, he bowed to the ground and said, "Boy Li Haoran to meet the Immortal Master." ”
"Don't be restrained, Ling Ran said that you want to worship in my Canglan Gate, then you can tell me about your experience now. An old man's gentle voice came, this is the head of Canglan Gate, Yuan Hongzhen.
Li Haoran straightened up, his heartbeat couldn't help but speed up a little, but he also knew that now was a very important moment, his mind was slightly condensed, and after calming down, he told his experience one by one except for Bai Yunzi.
Now is the most critical juncture, if he doesn't seize this opportunity to worship the Canglan Gate and embark on the path of cultivation, he doesn't know what to do. Did he go to find the Ruihua Sect again? But what if he was rejected again? As a result, he didn't dare to think about it, so now he didn't want to have a little accident, what if Canglanmen didn't like to bring art investors?
After Li Haoran finished speaking, he bowed down and said: "I beg the immortal master to accept the disciples to enter and teach the disciples the method of cultivation." The disciples will cultivate hard and live up to the kindness of their masters. ”
After Li Haoran finished speaking, there was a brief silence in the pavilion. Li Haoran rested his forehead on his folded hands and waited for the result.
Li Haoran felt as if time had slowed down, and the air exhaled from his mouth and nose was faintly warm when he folded back from the ground. The sound of the waves crashing against the mountain wall and the sound of the mountain wind blowing through the clothes and belts fluttered in my ears. Li Haoran suddenly felt a little cold.
Yuan Hongzhen began to see Li Haoran, and calmed down in a moment, and told his experience in an orderly manner, nodding slightly. Especially after hearing Li Haoran say that he had never given up after walking for a year in order to worship the door of cultivation, he had some thoughts in his heart. Now seeing Li Haoran bowing to the ground and muttering for a while, he said, "Then what are you cultivating for now?"
Hearing Yuanhong Zhenren speak, Li Haoran's heart jumped, but when he heard Yuanhong Zhenren's question, he couldn't help but think of the death of his parents, the death of Bai Yunzi and the arrest of Su Chi, and there was a breath in his heart that was running around, and he straightened up and raised his head to look at Yuanhong in front of him, who had a childish face and a fairy wind and bones, and said: "The way of heaven is not prosperous, and treachery is rampant." I want to suppress the evil spirits, and I am still clear. ”
Looking at Li Haoran's serious eyes, Yuan Hong smiled and said, "It seems that you are going to take the path of killing in the future, but seeing that you have such a belief at a young age, maybe you may really be able to contribute to my righteous path in the future." Looking at Yuanhong's indifferent appearance, Li Haoran also sobered up a lot and said, "The kid is out of shape." ”
Yuan Hong said disapprerovingly: "Young man, how old are you this year?"
"Sixteen years old, seventeen in two months. ”
Yuan Hong said with a smile: "Why should you be so calm at such a young age, just now you and other young people are so radiant!
Although Li Haoran didn't seem to understand Yuanhong's words, he still said: "Thank you for the teachings of the master, and the disciples will remember it in their hearts." "Now that I call myself a disciple, I feel like I'm beating a snake with a stick. Yuan Hong and the woman in white sitting next to him looked at each other and smiled. Yuan Hong said to Li Haoran: "Come here." ”
Li Haoran stood up and walked into the pavilion to stand in front of Yuan Hong, raised his right hand at Yuan Hong's signal, and Yuan Hong reached out and grabbed Li Haoran's palm. Li Haoran only felt a warm current in his body and his limbs and hundreds of remains, and his body was indescribably comfortable. After a while, Yuanhong let go of Li Haoran's hand, and the warm current disappeared all at once. Although Li Haoran didn't understand Yuanhong Zhenren's intentions, he also felt that now was the critical moment to decide whether he could enter the Canglan Gate, so he also held his breath and didn't dare to move.
Yuan Hong groaned and said to the woman in white next to him, "Senior sister, you can accept him." ”
"Ahh Li Haoran was also stunned, and then looked at this woman carefully. The woman was dressed in a white dress with only three light blue water lines at the neckline, and she looked about thirty years old, but when she looked at it, she looked like she was only twenty years old. Her long black hair was gently tied up in a bundle and hung down to her waist. Light eyebrows, there is no amazing beauty, only a touch of gentleness, which makes people can't help but feel close.
"Silly boy, don't meet Master yet!" Yuan Hong said with a smile on the side.
Li Haoran was excited, and immediately knelt down in front of the woman and said, "Disciple Li Haoran to see Master." Then he bowed down. The woman with a plain temperament looked at Yuan Hong a little helplessly, not knowing what the senior brother was and what he meant.
Yuan Hong nodded lightly at her and motioned for her to accept Li Haoran. The woman sighed in her heart, although she didn't understand why her senior brother was like this, but she had always respected Yuan Hong, and she knew that he would not harm herself. And she also heard all these things in her ears and saw them in her eyes. In my heart, I didn't resist Li Haoran so much to worship her as a teacher.
The woman in white thought about it, then turned her head to look at Li Haoran who was kneeling in front of her and said softly, "Okay, you get up." We don't have so many rules in Yun Han Peak. Li Haoran said with joy in his heart: "Thank you Master, thank you Master Master!" After speaking, he stood up, looked at Mu Lingran who was saying hello to him on the side, and also smirked: "Thank you, Senior Brother Mu." Mu Lingran smiled and nodded.
Yuan Hong waved his hand and said, "Ling Ran, you take him to get the jade talisman and the clothes in the door first." ”
