Chapter 25: Haoqing Dao Palace

At this time, an elder Lu Zongliang, who was standing not far from the steps, noticed Gu Nanyun among the four, so he opened his mouth and asked him, "Are you Gu Nanyun, a disciple of Lingyun Peak?"

Gu Nanyun took a step forward from the three of them and replied, "Disciple Gu Nanyun, I have seen Uncle Lu!"

Lu Zongliang nodded and immediately smiled knowingly, then turned to Yuanxu Zhenren and said, "Senior Brother in charge, look! This is the child brought back by the Beiluo of the Qinghua Palace." ”

Yuan Xuan Zhenren looked at Gu Nanyun carefully, and raised his hand to beckon, motioning for him to come forward.

Gu Nanyun had already walked to Yuanxu Zhenren at this time, and he looked at the white-haired and silver-haired, gentle and peaceful head master in front of him, but he saw that the master's face was still the same, radiant, and it was the same as back then!

"Disciple Gu Nanyun, meet the master of the sect!" Gu Nanyun bowed his hand.

Yuan Xuan Zhenren walked down the steps slowly, approaching him, a happy smile flashed on his face, isn't this the milky kid who called him grandfather back then! After a while, Yuan Xuan Zhen said: "You are Yun'er, I haven't seen you for more than five years, this seat almost doesn't recognize you, don't be polite, hurry up!"

After he finished speaking, he stretched out his hands to gently help Gu Nanyun up, and said, "Yun'er, do you still remember the situation in the Qinghua Hall back then?"

Gu Nanyun's expression was a little flattered, and he replied respectfully: "Back to Master, the disciples all remember!"

Yuanxu Zhenren said quietly: "I think I can see that you are talented at the beginning, and now you are the best among the new disciples, it is really a blessing for my family, you have gone down the mountain this time to practice, and you have a heavy responsibility, so you have to be more careful!"

Gu Nanyun hurriedly thanked him and said, "Thank you for your concern, the disciple will be careful and obey Uncle Duanmu's arrangement!"

"Hmm...... That's great!"

At this time, Yuanxu Zhenren looked at the three people who were still standing in the field in front of him, and then cast his eyes on the stone steps, looked at the distant sky, and only heard him say: "You have gone down the mountain this time, it is dangerous and abnormal, and I hope that you can return safely as soon as possible!"

After Yuanxu Zhenren finished speaking, Duanmu Qi on the steps spoke at this time, and she said: "A few teachers and nephews, you will stay at Qingyun Peak for one night today, and we will set off early tomorrow morning!"

Everyone had dispersed, and there were only two people left in front of the Qinghua Palace, and when Yuanxu Zhenren slowly stepped into the hall, Gu Nanyun also walked in.

At this time, the sky was dark, it was almost dusk, and outside the gate of the Qinghua Palace, I could vaguely hear the conversation of an old man and a young man floating out of the hall......

On the day of the day, after saying goodbye to the head master and the other division commanders, Duanmuqi led Gu Nanyun and the other four people to the west, and the sword flew away to Yunzhou.

The five of them flew all the way, over the mountains and mountains, the lightning was in the air, they stepped on their respective flying swords, the five flying swords emitted different colors of light, looking from afar, like a gorgeous rainbow across the sky. In front, the five people were lined up in a line headed by Duanmuqi, and the last person flying at the tail end was Gu Nanyun!

Gu Nanyun used the imperial sword technique to fly, looking at him, he looked half-baked, and his body was a little shaky, but looking at the four in front of him, they flew skillfully and naturally, but they were at ease.

This was the farthest place he had flown for the first time, and when he thought of the first time he flew with Master Edgeworth five years ago, he felt deeply at the moment, this time he would fly farther away independently, and a free rush stirred up in his heart, without restraint, like an eagle soaring with wings, roaming the world and the earth, what a dream!

Ahead was a white expanse, and they penetrated through the thick clouds, and they couldn't see what was in front of them.

Gu Nanyun was surrounded by vast clouds, the wind was whistling, and his face was painful, and his robe was hunting, he had gone through a long flight from the nervousness at the beginning, but now he could flexibly grasp the direction of the flight, and followed the four people in front of him.

The sea of clouds was vast, and I didn't know how long it had been flying, and the five fairy swords rushed out of the sea of clouds in the sharp whistling sound of breaking through the air.

Suddenly there was a vast blue sky in front of them, like an upside-down sea, pure and deep blue, boundless.

Under the blue sky, the mountains stretch one after another, the strange peaks show up, the five fairy swords jump down from the sky like colored lines, shuttle between the green cliffs and dangerous peaks, the mountains here are very similar to the mountains of Shuzhou, in addition to the beauty is more precipitous.

After a few days of flying, the five people were already not far from Haoqing Mountain.

At this time, the five of them flew slowly in the sky, and Duanmuqi, who was the leader, looked not far ahead, and only heard her say: "A few senior nephews, look! ”

Everyone looked in the direction of Duanmuqi's finger, and the four people behind her looked quite excited, because they had stayed in the Sword Sect for too long, it was even more difficult for them to see this vast world.

In front of their eyes, there appeared a huge mountain peak that was tall and tall, ethereal and straight up to the sky, looking from afar, only to see the golden light overflowing at the peak, forming a spiral-shaped halo around the top of the peak, as if it was a sacred place of immortals, magnificent and majestic and untouchable.

In Duanmuqi's body, followed by a female disciple of Feiyun Peak, she looked about sixteen or seventeen years old, she was dressed in a light disciple uniform, her appearance was beautiful, like a pearl faint, beautiful jade fluorescent, and there was a faint indescribable agility between her eyebrows.

This female disciple is Yue Ningyi, a disciple of Feiyun Peak's Ji Moqin, who performed well among the new disciples of Feiyun Peak this time, so she was selected to go to Haoqing Palace together.

Although the flight was slower at this moment, the wind in the air was still whistling, and Yue Ningyi's face was pasted with a handful of messy hair, fluttering in the wind.

She said in a soft and tactful voice: "Uncle Duanmu, that peak should be Haoqing Palace!"

Duanmuqi replied, "Yes! ”

Yue Ningyi then said: "I have long heard that Haoqing Palace is a famous sect, and among the ten major sects, except for our Yunhua Sword Sect, it has a reputation that shocks the world, and is the leader of the various sects in Yunzhou. ”

Hearing Yue Ningyi's voice, Yan Zhen, a disciple of Cangyun Peak flying behind her, Yan Zhen spoke: "Senior Sister Yue doesn't know, there is a poem that says: "Shuzhou Yunhua True Immortal Sword, Yunzhou Haoqing Dao Fachang ......"

Yue Ningyi listened to Yan Zhen recite the poem, and she asked puzzledly, "Senior Brother Yan Zhen, what does this poem represent?"

Yan Zhen didn't answer her immediately, but smiled and didn't say anything.

At this time, I only heard Duanmu Qi in front of him speak: "The two major sects of Yunhua Sword Sect and Haoqing Palace, compared to other sects, the techniques practiced by our two sects are very different, one is to cultivate the true sword, and the other is to participate in the law and refine the Dao, these two cultivation methods originally came from the same source and were one, but later evolved into two branches.

She continued: "And these two cultivation methods, the two families gave full play to their respective strengths, became famous in Kyushu, and had a far-reaching influence in the land of Shuzhou and Yunzhou. ”

"Oh...... So that's the case!" Yue Ning nodded as if he didn't understand.

Haoqing Mountain, shake the light on the top.

A splendid Taoist palace is solemn and solemn, towering, and the golden light is overflowing.

Duanmuqi and the other five people landed in front of the mountain gate of Haoqing Palace, they put away their flying swords, and the two Taoist boys guarding the gate at the mountain gate walked down the jade steps and learned that a guest had come to greet them......

I saw that in front of them, the towering mountain gate leaned against the sky, and there were three red gold characters of "Haoqing Palace" above the door, which were eye-catching. On the top of this mountain, the magnificent buildings are antique, clean and vast, which makes people feel a sense of quiet and inaction, leaving the country and forgetting it!

The five of them, under the guidance of two Taoist boys, crossed the mountain gate and led to a long white marble bridge erected in the sky.

Walking on the long bridge, there is another scene in front of you, the green peaks in the distance are like bamboo shoots rushing straight into the sky, and the fog between the green peaks is shrouded.

They walked across the long bridge and came to the square in front of the Tianshu Palace.

Here, it is almost a legendary fairyland.

The square is boxy, wide and huge, the ground is all paved with white marble, the light is shining, and there are palace buildings standing up in twos and threes in the distance. In the center of it, there is a huge circular black and white Tai Chi Bagua pattern, which is lifelike. The square was relatively empty, and occasionally two or three Haoqing Palace disciples could be seen passing by the square.

The five of them walked in the direction of the Tianshu Hall of Haoqing Palace, left the square, walked up the jade steps, and a palace in front of them stood majestically like an immortal's family, exuding a majestic aura that made people admire.

It is supported by dozens of big red stone pillars to the eaves of the beams to all directions, flying out, the east, south, west and north are carved on all sides of the golden dragon play beads, the southeast, southwest, northwest and northeast are carved on all sides of the colorful phoenix flying, the golden dragon and the phoenix are all in the mouth of the glazed wind chimes, fluttering with the wind, sending out a crisp sound, adding a bit of fairy.

At the top of its hall is the golden light, the golden light is warm and pure, it is said that the top of the palace is the treasure of the town palace - the mirror of shaking light.

Tianshu Temple.

There were dozens of people standing in the hall, standing in two rows, men and women, dressed in Taoist robes. Among them, there are a few people who seem to be immortal, otherworldly, and obviously very prestigious figures in Haoqing Palace.

In the main hall, there is a statue of Sanqing God, and the bearing is solemn.

Under the statue, on the meditation mat sat a Taoist wearing a dark gray robe, embroidered with gossip patterns. Seeing that his hair is snow-white, and he is holding a handful of Tai Chi whisks in his hand, he obviously has an elegant demeanor of respecting virtue and natural inaction.

This is the head of Haoqing Palace, "Hongqian Daoren"!

Duanmuqi and the other five people had been led to the main hall by a disciple, and they saw Duanmuqi bowing to Hongqian Daoist and saying, "Yunhua Sword Sect Duanmuqi and his disciples to meet Uncle Hongqian!"

The four people who followed her also came to meet her, but none of them said anything.

Nahong Qiandaoren's face was ruddy, looking at Duanmu Qi and the other five people who came from afar, he nodded slightly and smiled: "Duanmu Master and nephew, they are all from their own family, there is no need to be polite!" His voice was calm and majestic.

At this time, Hongqian Daoist raised his wide sleeved robe, waved the Tai Chi whisk in his hand, and then turned his eyes to the four people behind Duanmu Qi, carefully examined it, and said with emotion: "These are all new elite disciples of your sect, huh...... Not bad...... It looks outstanding, and it is indeed a manufacturable material!"

"Over the years, your Yunhua Sword Sect has worked hard to cultivate young disciples, and it is really gratifying to congratulate you on the generation of talents!" he continued to praise.

Duanmu Qi looked humble, and bowed unhurriedly: "Thank you Uncle Hongqian, these are all new disciples selected from our faction, although their skills are far better than ordinary disciples, but they still need to be honed!"

"Hmm......" Hongqian Daoist smiled: "In recent years, I haven't been able to go to your sect to pay a visit, I don't know how Senior Brother Yuanxu is doing well!"

Duanmuqi said: "The family teacher has always been in good health and in good spirits, and Uncle Lao Hongqian has remembered it." ”

Hongqian Daoist said again: "This seat and all the elders are here waiting for the arrival of Duanmu Master and nephew, regarding the matter of the Tiandui Cult, I will send my powerful elite disciples to investigate the cult traitors with you!"

In the hall, I saw Duanmuqi carrying a cyan long sword, her eyes were crystal clear, and she replied with an awe-inspiring face: "In the past few years, the cult has always been powerful and notorious, and everyone has been punished, but it is a pity that the entire Youzhou has become their sphere of influence, not only annexing many large and small sects, not to mention, but now they have also begun to establish rudders in Yunzhou, intending to swallow up all the large and small factions in Yunzhou, which is really hateful!"

At this moment, after hearing Duanmuqi's words, several elders in the main hall nodded and discussed......

Speaking of Gu Nanyun here, he looked around the Tianshu Palace, except for the difference between the Sanqing Statue and the Qinghua Hall of the Yunhua Sword Sect, the other decorations in the hall were almost the same, and the momentum and scale were also extraordinary, comparable to each other.

After everyone in the hall discussed, Hongqian Daoist said quietly: "Five years ago, the sect meeting, this seat was entangled in important matters in the sect, and it was not possible to come as promised, and when Duanmu Master and nephew go back to the descendants, this seat will apologize to Senior Brother Yuanxu!"

Duanmu Qi thought for a while and said, "Senior Uncle Hongqian is too worried, I think that my Yunhua Sword Sect and your sect have been friends for generations, as for those red tape, it should be exempted!"

Hongqian Dao people were a little worried because they were unable to attend the conference five years ago, but now when they heard Duanmuqi say this, he nodded slightly, indicating that what he said was very reasonable.

At this time, an elder of Haoqing Palace walked in front of the Hongqian Daoist, and he said: "Senior Brother in charge, my top priority at the moment is to send capable disciples to work together to resist the cult and find out the hiding place of the demon!"

Hongqian Daoist replied: "Senior brother is very right, and now the cult demons have sneaked into Yunzhou, and regard my Haoqing Palace as nothing, if I don't hurry up to stop it, I'm afraid that I will be worthy of the position of the leader of Yunzhou!"

He said again: "Senior Brother Wan, you will select three outstanding disciples from the sect and go with the disciples of the Yunhua Sword Sect to explore the details of the cult!"

"Yes! After saying a word, Elder Haoqing, surnamed Wan, withdrew and left the Heavenly Pivot Hall.

After some conversation, Hongqian Daoist looked at Duanmu Qi, and he said: "Today, Duanmu Master and nephew and a few disciples came from afar, presumably they are already tired, this seat has arranged housing, you can stay for a few days, and then go down the mountain with my disciples!"

Duanmuqi and the other five people bowed their hands and thanked them together, and then they were led out of the Tianshu Hall by a disciple in the main hall and walked in the direction of the side hall.

As mentioned earlier, the cultivation techniques of Yunhua Sword Sect and Haoqing Palace are originally from the same origin, what is the reason, I am afraid that everything has to start from more than seven hundred years ago.

As early as the early days of the establishment of the Yunhua Sword Sect, the first of the "Ten Great Xuan Immortals" in Kunlun - Yunhua Shangxian, that is, the ancestor of the Yunhua Sword Sect. At that time, he accepted a total of five disciples, and these five disciples jointly founded the Yunhua Sword Sect, and one of them was not satisfied with the status quo, and felt that his cultivation attainments could still break through, so he left the sect and traveled all over the world, seeking the supreme "avenue" in his heart!

After decades of travels and exploration, he finally became enlightened, and found that everything in this world follows a certain law, which is the essence of change, immortal, formless, imageless, beginningless, endless, all-encompassing, its big outside, its small inside, changing over time, eternal and unchanging.

Later, he used the method taught by his ancestors, and on this basis, he derived a cultivation method, which is the "Tao Method"!

Then he shook the top of Haoqing Mountain in Yunzhou, opened a sect, and set up another sect, which was called: "Haoqing Palace".

Haoqing Palace has been carried forward by several generations of ancestors, and is now one of the top ten schools. Now the Yunhua Sword Sect and the Haoqing Palace are different from each other, but it is not an exaggeration to say that they are of the same origin.

Haoqing Palace, the second day.

Gu Nanyun got up early in the morning, and it seemed that his spirit was much better than before, because of the long-distance flight a few days ago, his body was sleepy and tired. Last night was the most restful night I've slept in the past few days.

He pushed open the door and walked out, breathing in the freshness and comfort of the air, the sun's glow already reflected on his face, warm.

At this time, his eyes became wider, and he could see the horizon at a glance, and the large and small palaces not far from him were quietly distributed on the top of this mountain, and they were full of light, looming in the morning mist, like a fairyland.

Several dull bells rang, echoing faintly on the top of the shaking light, this bell seemed to symbolize the beginning of a new day in Haoqing Palace.

Gu Nanyun casually walked and looked into the distance, only to see the strange show of thousands of peaks, the clouds were steaming, and the glow was ten thousand ways, looking at the magnificent weather in front of him, he was intoxicated by it.

Unconsciously, Gu Nanyun subconsciously walked further along the scenery along the way, and at this time he had come to a certain mountain behind Haoqing Palace.

The feeling here made him feel an inexplicable sense of tranquility, and there was a trace of coolness spreading around him.

I saw a mountain rock in front of me protruding horizontally, from a distance it looks like a dragon's head is jumping with its big mouth open, and it is about to drill out of the belly of the mountain immediately, its mouth spits out a waterfall like a stream, "whoosh" straight into a clear water lake under the mountainside, it turns out that there is such an excellent place in the mountain, here it seems that the terrain is relatively flat.

A white jade pavilion, standing on the top of the mountain, looks a little lonely, as if staring at the blue water lake in front of it, making people have a kind of cold beauty after looking at it.

Gu Nanyun walked further, and suddenly he stopped, and his body stopped not far from the pavilion......

In his eyes, a beautiful figure flashed, it was a woman, a female disciple of Haoqing, the slight mountain breeze gently blew the corners of her clothes, dancing like a flying flotsam with her graceful figure.

Just look at the woman's slender figure plump and slender, her head is tied with a crown, the crown is printed with a Tai Chi pattern, the green silk hangs down her shoulders, and two white hair ribbons flutter in the wind. Wearing a black and white Taoist disciple uniform, mainly white, and black as a decoration, her whole person looks outstanding!

She looked indifferent, her eyes were like water, but they were a little cold, and her cold face was like cream, and her white skin was pink. Between the eyebrows, there is a cold and faint tenderness flashing in the heroic spirit, as if it is like the moonlight at night, clear and cold, faint, soft, like autumn water.

She held a sword in her hand, and it bloomed with an aqua blue light, dazzling in the morning sun.

Her figure is on the mountain stone, like catkins flying, like autumn water flowing, the long sword in the slender hand of the slender hand tactfully moved, sometimes rising to the sky, sometimes floating to the ground, several sword shadows turned into a silver bay moon, flying scattered, wonderful.

With such a free sword dance, she is like a fairy of the Nine Heavens, peerless.

Gu Nanyun stared at all this in front of him in a daze, he was so stupid that he forgot the existence of time, and this moment seemed to be eternal.

Now, all he could think of was the figure of the woman in front of him......

"Whew......"

This was the sound of a long sword, it was too late, and when Gu Nanyun came back to his senses, the woman flew to him like lightning, and in hindsight, the shining aqua blue sword had already stopped at his neck.

"Auntie...... Girl...... I'm sorry...... I was in a gaffe just now, and the sword has no eyes, so please ...... The girl put down the sword in her hand!" Gu Nanyun watched her beautiful eyes flow, and her heartbeat missed half a beat for a while, and she became a little stammered.

"Who are you, tell me quickly......" The woman still pointed her long sword at him, her eyebrows were heroic, and she said in a cold voice.

Gu Nanyun was stared at by her so directly, there was a look in her eyes that she wanted to kill him, but this gaze made him uncomfortable, his face was hot, and he didn't dare to look at the woman directly.

Gu Nanyun was a little flustered at the moment, and said, "I'...... Below is the disciple of the Yunhua Sword Sect in Shuzhou, this time on the order of the master, he went to meet with the disciples of Haoqing Palace, and went to explore the cult demon together......"

The woman's face was serious, and after hearing Gu Nanyun's words, her eyebrows lowered, she withdrew the long sword in her hand, and said lightly: "Then why did you come here?"

Gu Nanyun breathed a sigh of relief at this time, fortunately he showed his intention, otherwise he would have died under her sword like this, it would have been too wronged.

He turned his mind and smiled: "Girl, you are a disciple of Haoqing!"

He then said: "In Xia Gu Nanyun, I haven't asked the teacher sister to give your surname ......."

The woman turned around, turned her head coldly, looked at him no more, and did not reply to him for a long time.

Gu Nanyun couldn't help but smile a little bitterly in his heart, it turned out how embarrassing it was to be ignored, looking at the beautiful woman in front of him, he really couldn't guess what she was thinking.

In order to alleviate this embarrassing atmosphere, he arched his hand and said: "I just offended my senior sister in the next place, please forgive me, but I got up this morning, wanted to come out for a walk, and saw the pleasant scenery of Haoqing Mountain, so I got carried away and walked here!"

He stole a glance at the woman, wondering if she had heard it or not, and was waiting for her answer.

The woman raised her head and looked into the distance, her face cold, as if she was thinking about something.

Then, she turned her head again and looked at the Yunhua disciple from Shuzhou in front of her, her voice was like her appearance, cold and indifferent, but it was endlessly memorable, just listen to her: "You go back!"

After the woman finished speaking, she didn't wait for Gu Nanyun to speak, she turned around and left without looking back, leaving Gu Nanyun standing there alone until the beautiful back gradually disappeared......
