Zong Zheng suffered from illness all night, and he didn't fall asleep until midnight.

In the early morning of the next day, Xi Jie came to the cave where Zong Zheng was, and saw that Zong Zheng was still asleep, so he was about to turn around and leave, Zong Zheng suddenly opened his eyes, and saw that it was Xi Jie, so he greeted: "Jie girl, you are here." His tone was faint and low, with a hint of pain.

Xi Jie heard that the voice didn't seem right, so she turned around and went to Zongzheng, but when she saw that Zongzheng's lips were thin and white, fine sweat was on his forehead, and his face was in pain, he knew that something was wrong, and hurriedly asked nervously, "Did you have an injury last night?"

Zong Zheng closed his eyes slightly, and said forcefully: "I'm fine." ”

Xi Jie took Zong Zheng's left hand and put her finger on Zong Zheng's wrist, Xi Jie felt that Zong Zheng's pulse was weak, but it fluctuated very much, and she already knew what was going on. He immediately picked up Zongzheng, sat cross-legged behind him, and healed his injuries.

A stream of true warmth was gently injected into Zong Zheng's body, and Zong Zheng immediately felt that the pain in his chest had eased a lot, and the disordered true qi in his body began to gradually stabilize, his face gradually returned to blood, and his body was no longer cold.

Xi Jie gradually retracted her true qi, got off the stone bed, and said to Zongzheng: "What happened last night, you can think clearly, although I can save you for a while, I can't save you for a lifetime, the internal injuries and various disordered true qi on your body can only be repaired by our Xuanmen's Yuan Ji Gong, if you want to go out, you can only crack the mystery of the layout of the Pangu Peaks by practicing the art of Xuanmen." ”

Zong Zheng has been in pain all night last night, and he can't take care of it for a long time, he knows very well that only by saving his life first can he think about it in the long run, so he said to Xi Jie: "Jie girl, I am willing to worship under the Xuanmen." ”

Xi Jie was not happy, and replied lightly as usual: "Since this is the case, the injuries on your body cannot be delayed, so you can make a great gift to the teacher today! So saying, he walked out of the cave.

Zongzheng felt much better, so he hurriedly got off the stone bed, followed him all the way, and followed Xijie out of the cave.

Out of the outside, there is a loop cave corridor, along the corridor distributed many stone cave entrances, Xi Jie led Zong Zheng to enter one of the holes, the caves are all narrow passages, and there are horizontal holes in the passages, only walked for a while, Zong Zheng didn't know where he was at all, and thought to himself: "This cave is thousands of times more complicated than the nameless cave, I'm really afraid that one day I will walk around and be trapped in the hole." ”

Zong Zheng asked, "Jie girl, where are we going?"

Xi Jie replied: "This is the Pangu Cave, which was designed by the master according to the principle of the Nine Palaces Bagua, if others do not have access to the door, they will be trapped in this cave, and in the future, without my order, you must not walk around." ”

Zong Zheng replied, "Okay, Jie girl. ”

The two of them passed through a cave again, and then came to a large cave hall, where Xi Jie lit the candles on the stone wall one after another, and the whole cave hall began to brighten under the light of the candles.

I saw that the cave hall was full of bamboo slips and books, and there were more than a dozen long paintings hanging on both sides of the cave wall.

Zong Zheng approached the portrait on the left and saw that all the portraits were human body drawings, the first painting marked the human body meridians very clearly, the second painting and the third painting marked the human body acupuncture points very clearly, and the back were the lungs and bones.

Zong Zheng saw these human figures, his heart was a little shocked, so he turned around and went to the stone wall on the right, but saw that the portraits hanging on the right side of the cave wall are all topographic maps, but they are quite different from ordinary topographic maps, the landmarks and text explanations on the maps are difficult to penetrate, Zong Zheng browsed one by one, and suddenly saw a map marked with the peaks of Pangu, and was curious for a while, so he wanted to take it down and watch.

Xi Jie immediately shouted, "Stop!"

When Zong Zheng heard Xi Jie's shout, he immediately retracted his hand and looked at Xi Jie suspiciously.

Xi Jie explained: "Non-disciples are not allowed to tamper with anything in this stone hall, and after you have performed the apprenticeship ceremony, you can turn things here at will." ”

Zong Zheng let out a soft 'oh',

Xijie immediately called Zong Zheng to come forward, pointed to a portrait above the cave hall and said, "This is my master." ”

Zong Zheng looked at the portrait, only to see an old man wearing a white robe, holding a fan, white hair extending to the waist, and a white beard smooth to the abdomen Standing in the portrait, with the demeanor of an immortal between his gestures, and the four big characters written on the left side of the portrait "Yuanji Zhenren".

Xi Jie said: "Xuanmen apprentices pay attention to fate, since you can come to Pangu Peak alive, that is your fate with Xuanmen, Xuanmen disciples do not expect apprentices to carry it forward, the only hope is that the younger generations can use Xuanmen's knowledge to cover the common people, so, the law I told you last night is 'benevolence and righteousness, do good in the world.'" If you go on the wrong path, I will clear the door as the ruler. ”

After hearing this, Zong Zheng said calmly: "I have always coexisted with good and good, and naturally I will not fall into the evil way. ”

Xi Jie has long judged Zong Zheng in his heart, and naturally knows that Zong Zheng is indeed a person with a pure heart, but people's hearts are fickle, and the technique of Xuanmen is a partial technique, which is contrary to the normal cycle of heavenly principles. Therefore, the Xuanmen left a door rule, and the introductory disciples all need to swear a heavy oath to always be vigilant about their hearts and purposes of doing good. Therefore, Xi Jie still said to Zongzheng,

"That's good, but you still have to make a vow before the statue of Master. ”

"What swear?" asked Zongzheng,

Xi Jie replied: "Life is based on justice, if you fall into the evil way and do unrighteous things, you will never recover, and you will not be able to live forever." ”

Zong Zheng secretly thought to himself: "My father and mother took my name as Zheng, with the intention of letting me do good deeds and be an upright person, I am a person with a good heart, how can I do unrighteous things." ”

"I can swear by this. Thinking of this, Zong Zheng readily agreed,

Xi Jie saw that Zongzheng agreed so happily, and according to his own vision, he would not look at the wrong person, so he said: "Since this is the case, then you should kowtow three times in front of the statue of the master, and then make a heavy oath, in this way, you will be the master's apprentice." ”

Zong Zheng immediately knelt in front of the portrait, and was about to kowtow, when he suddenly realized that what Xi Jie said was wrong, thought about it, and asked: "Miss Jie, since your master has passed away, and you have become the actual head of Xuanmen, it stands to reason that I should worship you as a teacher, how can I worship your master as a teacher again?"

Xi Jie had already known what Zong Zheng asked, so she didn't reply positively, but asked, "Are you willing to be my apprentice, or are you willing to be my junior brother?"

Although Zong Zheng was a little unclear, but when asked by Xi Jie, he suddenly felt that if he worshiped Miss Jie as a teacher, the two were of the same age, and it was really awkward to call Miss Jie Master, so he immediately knelt in front of the statue and kowtowed three times in succession, and after the third knock was finished, Zong Zheng raised his right palm and swore an oath: "The emperor is above, the thick earth is below, and my Zongzheng worships today."

Zong Zheng didn't know who the master was for a while, so he paused when he said this, didn't know how to continue, turned his head to Xi Jie and asked, "Senior sister, what is our master's name?"

When Xi Jie heard Zong Zheng change his name to call himself senior sister, she couldn't help but feel that Zong Zheng's mind was bright, and she couldn't help but snicker secretly in her heart, but she still replied with a serious face: "Master is the 'Yuan Ji Zhenren' written in the portrait."

Zong Zheng then replied to the portrait and continued: "I, Zongzheng, worship Yuan Ji Zhenren as a teacher today, and swear that my life will be based on justice, if I fall into the evil way and do unrighteous things, I will never recover, and I will never be reborn. ”

Seeing that Zong Zheng had solemnly finished his oath, Xi Jie helped Zong Zheng up: "From today on, you are a disciple of Xuanmen, I am your senior sister, and you are my junior brother." ”

Zong Zheng listened to Xi Jie calling for his senior sister and junior brother, and suddenly thought of the matter of the Yuan Ji Palm in his body, so he asked Xi Jie: "Senior sister, last time, you said that the Yuan Ji Palm in my body was from the master's Yuan Ji Gong, presumably the master has other apprentices?"

Xi Jie blinked slightly, a pair of eyes were shining and transparent, thought for a moment, and replied: " That's right, Master mentioned this to me, more than 60 years ago, a person named Yuan Tiandi inadvertently came to Pangu Cave, Master saw that he was righteous and loyal and taught him Yuan Ji Gong and Yin Yang Yi Shu, Xuanmen set a rule, only those who have cracked the way out of the Pangu Peaks can get out of the mountain gate, otherwise they will stay in the Pangu Peaks for the rest of their lives, Senior Brother Yuan studied for 30 years to unlock the way out of the Pangu Peaks, and the Master let him go according to the door rules, after that, Master and I no longer knew his news, and he never came back. ”

Zong Zheng seemed to realize after hearing this, "I understand, the injuries I suffered must be related to Senior Brother Yuan. He asked with a worried expression, "Senior sister, has Master ever told you the way out of the Pangu Peaks?"

Xi Jie had already told Zong Zheng that he didn't know the way out of Pangu Peak, and now that Zong Zhengfu asked again, Xi Jie couldn't help but feel that Zong Zheng didn't believe in him, so he felt a chill and said coldly: "This is the rule set by the master, so naturally he won't tell me." As he spoke, his face turned gloomy.

Zongzheng originally thought that Xijie was deliberately concealing it that night, so he wanted to ask again, but who knew that Xijie was quite angry, so he knew that he shouldn't ask again, and he regretted it a little in his heart, so he drooped his head, like a child who made a mistake, and said with chagrin in his heart:" If I can't find a way out of the Pangu Peaks for a lifetime, wouldn't I have to stay in the Pangu Peaks for the rest of my life, if I don't go out for a long time, even if Xian'er is lucky enough to escape the poisonous hands of the Beauty Valley, it will be difficult to find me, according to her temperament, if ten or eight years have passed, she still can't find me, maybe she will do stupid things, and besides, the outside world is so dangerous, if Xian'er encounters an accident, what should it be?" Zong Zheng showed an anxious look when he thought about it, and his hands were tightly clasped together.

Xi Jie took a box from the stone platform under the statue and said to Zong Zheng: "According to the rules set by the master, you should first practice the Yin and Yang Yi Technique before you can practice the Yuan Ji Gong, but the injuries on your body need to be healed with the Yuan Ji Gong, so you can practice the Yin Yang Yi Technique while practicing the Yuan Ji Gong. As he spoke, he took a book from the box and handed it to Zongzheng.

Zong Zheng took the book and saw that the front of the book had the words "Yuan Ji Gong Shang Juan" written on the front.

Xi Jie said: "This skill is endless, although there is a master personally instructed, the senior sister has only learned seventy percent, you first practice the volume, if you don't understand something, you can ask me, the painting on the left side of the stone wall has the effect of assisting cultivation, can be used as a reference." ”

"Yes, Senior Sister. Zong Zheng replied,

Xi Jie continued: "The rest of the books here are all about the Yin and Yang Yi Technique, if you are tired of practicing, you can also take a look at these books, in the future, you will practice the Yuan Ji Gong and Yin Yang Yi Technique in this cave hall, I will send you food on time, don't run around." With that, he turned around and walked away.

Zong Zheng looked at Xi Jie's figure of leaving angrily, and then looked at the book in his hand, thinking of what Fang Cai asked, he couldn't help but regret a little, Senior Sister treated me so well, but I suspect that Senior Sister has hidden something from herself about Pangu Peak's way out, it really shouldn't be.

When the footsteps of Xi Jie's departure gradually subsided, Zong Zheng took the book in his hand, found a seat, and began to practice Yuan Ji Gong.
