Chapter 16 The Excalibur Suddenly Flies and Falls on the Snow in the Moon
After seeing the head of the Lingxu of the Shangqing Palace, after worshipping the statue of the patriarch of the Sanqing Dynasty, Xingyan and the former hall master of the Sihai Hall were simply handed over, and they were officially appointed and settled down in the Qing Palace on Luofu Mountain.
There's another interjection here. It turned out that on the mountain road outside the Banshan Pavilion, the "immortal" figure he saw was his predecessor, Qingbai Daoist!
When Xingyan told Qing Bai about the situation at that time, Qing Bai couldn't help laughing, and immediately told Xingyan about his broken foot;
Sihai Hall, is the Qing Palace lay disciple hall on Luofu Mountain, located in Luofu Mountain Baoxia Peak Thousand Bird Cliff. The scenery is tranquil and in a class of its own. In front of the house is a stone lawn, surrounded by verdant bamboo and trees, surrounded by green shade, separated from the hustle and bustle of the wilderness.
Living in the middle of it, the purpose is pleasant verdant, and the ears are pleasant birdsong, which is really like that paradise!
On the chaotic stone cliff wall, a cold spring comes out from between the stones, gurgling and flowing all year round. In front of the stone flat, there is a small pavilion, called "sleeve cloud pavilion"; under the pavilion, it faces the steep hillside. On this steep hillside, there are many pine and bamboo trees, which dye this Chidori Cliff with the color of evergreen. In the slightly gentle place between the bamboos and trees, there is a stone path paved with white stones, which winds diagonally down the mountain.
According to Feiyun Peak, the Dharma Hall on this Baoxia Peak is facing Feiyunding, which can be regarded as the front of Baoxia Peak, and the Sihai Hall is on the back of it. On the nameless peak opposite the Thousand Bird Cliff, a wide waterfall hangs between the rocks, and the water is roaring and the sound is endless. Sitting in this stone dwelling, you can see this waterfall from the window.
On both sides of the door of the stone house, there are a pair of stone cranes in a posture. This pair of stone cranes is not purely for decoration. According to the Daoist of Na Qingbai, if the flying cloud top is summoned, wisps of smoke will come out of the mouths of the stone cranes, and at the same time, they will make a clear sound!
Although the stone dwelling of this Sihaitang is ugly, it is very satisfying for Xingyan. Besides, this quiet scene, in the eyes of the awakening, is quite a bit of a fairy, and being able to live here, the young man already feels that it is a blessing that he has cultivated for several lifetimes.
After Xingyan came to Luofu Mountain and took office as the hall master of the Four Seas Hall, he gradually understood what kind of responsibilities the hall master of the lay disciples of the Shangqing Palace was roughly - it turned out that it was no wonder that the old Dao Qinghe of Raozhou wanted to give him the talisman scripture before leaving;
Different from the Heavenly Master Sect, this Shangqing Palace pays more attention to the cultivation of the world. Therefore, the Shangqing sect did not attach much importance to this lay disciple hall. A direct manifestation of this is that although this Sihaitang is listed as one of the two halls of the Shangqing Dynasty, there is only one hall master in the whole hall, and there is no other office! Moreover, there is also a lot of embarrassment in the Tao number of this hall master.
Although at this time, among the sects in the world, the trend of ranking the Taoist names according to seniority is not very strong, and those who cultivate the Tao can still retain their own common names as long as they wish. But in the Shangqing Palace, all the heads of the Guantang will be crowned with the name of the Tao. For example, the Lingxuzi of the Shangqing Palace, the Lingtingzi of the Chongde Palace, the Lingzhenzi of the Ziyun Palace, and the Qingyunzi of the Good Affairs Hall. However, the position of the hall master of the Four Seas Hall appointed by Xingyan is an exception, and it is customary not to take another path name according to the seniority - although those seniors with a more detached status in the sect often do not follow the rank and draw up the path name on their own, such as the Cassia Son who is said to have infinite mana in the Guantian Pavilion - Obviously, the hall master of the Four Seas Hall does not belong to this kind.
Of course, there is a saying that this can better reflect the "meaning of the layman". But obviously, the former hall master Liu Zongbai, the current head of the Qingbai Daoist of the Dharma Propagation Palace, was very unhappy with this rule.
Now Xingyan already knows that his greatest duty as the master of the Sihai Hall is to take care of the list of lay disciples stored in the hut behind the hall, as well as some related scriptures. In addition, he also has to go to the Shangqing Miyatian under the Luofu Mountain every once in a while to inspect the land at the foot of the Luofu Mountain-the inspection task of the field is also one of his responsibilities as the master of the Four Seas Hall!
The former duty is really nothing to do. Because on the stone house where the scrolls were stored, on the only stone gate, the senior masters of the sect had already laid out a five-element array. If you don't have the Hall Master Token of unknown material, you can't open it. If someone tries to break in, they will likely suffer irreparable permanent damage!
However, after the Qingbai Daoist introduced the Five Elements Array, he couldn't help but muttered again:
"Well, will anyone come and steal?"
Although this sentence was low and unheard, the young man's ears were very good, but he still heard it word for word.
From the mouth of this Qingbai old Taoist, Xingyan also knew that his "Sihai Hall" almost ceased to exist - in the middle of last year, several senior Shangqing disciples proposed to the head of the sect that this useless lay disciple hall should be cut off. It's just that, fortunately, the four sons of Shangqing in the door, especially Lingxuzi and Lingchengzi, really disagreed with this suggestion, and finally retained this lay disciple hall on the grounds that the ancient system was like this.
However, when he heard Qing Bai's tone when he said this, it seemed that he was quite a pity that he had not succeeded in removing his "Sihaitang" at that time - looking at this posture, the young man was really a little suspicious, and the old Dao in front of him was one of the main messengers who proposed to dismantle it......
In the next few days, Xingyan really felt that it was very leisurely. It's just that this former mountain boy didn't feel any boredom at all. Compared with the previous toiling in the city of Narao, the young man is already satisfied.
What's more, the successive hall masters before him also left a lot of Taoist classics in the stone house. When he said that he had nothing to do, he often flipped through and read - Lingxuzi, the head of the Shangqing Dynasty, also warned the young man that he should study more basic Taoist scriptures when he first entered the Taoist sect.
- If he were to be replaced by another ordinary young man in the market, he would have almost opened his eyes and been blind at that time, and it would be more difficult for him to read these esoteric Taoist texts than to ascend to heaven. And now, this hurdle is not a problem for Xingyan at all. In fact, although he often only works and studies part-time, among the disciples of Mr. Ji in Naraozhou, the art industry he has studied can be regarded as a leader among his peers.
Xingyan has never been so grateful to his old father as he is now-if it weren't for his father's thick old face back then, and Mr. Yang Naji accepted him as a disciple, now he really doesn't know how to spend the idle years in the mountains on the Thousand Bird Cliff.
Although he has now entered the Qing Palace, he has become the hall master of this "Four Seas Hall". But after these times, he basically had little contact with the other young disciples of the Shangqing Palace. It's not that it's sobering and withdrawn, it's that others are cold. Those disciples of the younger generation can enter this gate of the Qing Dynasty, and it is a temporary choice. These Shangqing people who are the same age as Xingyan are either children of the family or descendants of the rich Miao family, and they are as humble and lowly as Xingyan was born, but it is really rare, almost none. Moreover, although the title of the hall master of the "Sihai Hall" at the top of Xingyan is almost just a fictitious position, those disciples who are well-born and young and vigorous have a lot of disdain in their hearts - Xingyan is also a person with a delicate heart, who eats with the disciples of the Dharma Promotion Hall, and can appreciate this kind of negligence from those words that are slightly handed over.
Now it seems that Chen Ziping, who sent the awakening words to Luofu with him, is an outlier among them. It's just that it seems that he is now concentrating on studying the Dao, and he is rarely seen in Xingyan.
Of course, although Xingyan was a little depressed at the beginning, he had always been used to hanging out among the peddlers' pawns, but he was used to these cold eyes. It's just that, although before Xingyan entered the Qing Palace, he was still a musician in the building, which could be described as the lowest and least popular occupation at that time, but the young man never despised his identity, and he was never ashamed of his means of making food - the simple tutor of the wild peasant family in Horseshoe Mountain let Xingyan know that as long as he did his work seriously, he had nothing to be ashamed of, so that he felt inferior. In addition, I read so many poems and books of sages and sages later, and I knew that in the smoke and dust of the hustle and bustle of the market, outside of this humble identity, I could still maintain a noble heart.
Although the Luofu Shangqing Palace, where Xingyan is now located, emphasizes the birth of Qing cultivation, like most Taoist sects in the world at that time, it does not prohibit disciples from marrying. In this Shangqing Palace, there are many Taoist couples. Therefore, the outstanding young female disciples in the Purple Cloud Hall of Yu Xiu Peak would often become the object of envy and admiration of the young disciples in the other halls.
It's just that the path of all this has nothing to do with the awakening. Those female disciples of the Purple Cloud Hall also often come to this Baoxia Peak to practice spells. From the rumors, the young man found that these female disciples of the Shangqing Dynasty in the Purple Cloud Hall had a similar opinion to him, the young hall master from Raozhou, who was similar to those male disciples in the Dharma Propagation Hall.
Although it was a little frustrating, in this way, it made Xingyan less troublesome and more effort to meditate on the classics.
Now, in addition to reading the Taoist classics recommended by the Shangqing Palace, such as the "Shangqing Sutra", "The Jade Emperor Sutra", "The Nanhua Sutra", "The Tao Te Ching", "The Divine Powers", etc., Xingyan did not forget to turn out the Shangqing Sutra given by the old Dao Qinghe, and carefully studied the attached "refining the gods and transforming the void" two articles - because, Xingyan now has time to calm down, and carefully recall that the self-appointed "Taihua Dao Force" in his body has performed in the past six months, which is really a bit like the "strong name and strong words" mentioned in these two articles Taihua Dao force!
After experiencing the tempering of this half a year, the young man now deeply realizes that the unexpected Taihua Dao power in his body is absolutely extraordinary.
Speaking of which, Xingyan can also be regarded as a long-cherished wisdom root, and that night on the Horseshoe Mountain, he occasionally entered the realm of selflessness that day; plus now he has quietly studied so many Taoist classics, and now for him, he also has a lot of comprehension - this "refining the gods and transforming the void", "Taihua Dao power", and the "longevity and long-term vision" that are admired and pursued in all Taoist classics, the mysterious principles hidden behind them are not completely clueless for the young man.
It's just that Xingyan now feels that there is a horizontal barrier between himself and the ultimate righteousness he longs for—although this barrier seems to be broken at a point, but when he really thinks about it, he finds that he still has no clue—
The distance within reach, but there seems to be a world of abyss in between!
It wasn't until one night, more than ten days later, that things seemed to have a breakthrough.
It was half a moon this night, and the moon was full like a wheel, and the light was clear. Wake up and have nothing to do, just on the stone flat of this thousand bird cliff, enjoy the moon in the wind.
Now on the rolling mountains in front of the young man, a bright moon was hanging in the pure canopy of clouds. The sky above Luofu is now showing a pure deep blue, and against the backdrop of this deep blue, Xingyan only feels that the bright moon in the sky tonight, the moonlight flowing for thousands of miles, is extraordinarily moving.
Looking at the beautiful scenery of the moon shining on the thousands of mountains, Xingyan only felt that the spiritual platform was empty.
At that moment, I couldn't help but admire:
Standing on this Thousand Bird Cliff, and then looking at the bright moon in the sky, I feel that this moon wheel is exceptionally clear and bright!"
Looking at the moonlight of the thousand mountains, Xingyan was thinking about whether to chant a few words to help Qingxing, but suddenly heard that in the stone house where he lived, something seemed to be buzzing!
Xingyan was about to walk over to inspect the sound, but suddenly heard a clear roar in the stone house, like a dragon's groan—just as he didn't know what was happening, the young man suddenly saw that from the window of the stone house, there was something like a swimming dragon, suddenly coming to lightning, and flew to his side in the blink of an eye!
It was unexpected, but it surprised Xingyan. When I looked closely, I found that this thing that suddenly flew into the air was the strange sword weapon I picked up on that horseshoe mountain last year!
——This ancient sword, which was not sold back then, now seems to have a human name again, and the sword is pointed, "standing" next to his master!
"Hmm~ This sword is really weird!"
Xingyan secretly thought in his heart. Just as he wanted to move forward and see what was going on, he suddenly found that although he couldn't see it, in the dark and empty, he only felt that the moonlight above his head that filled the entire sky was converging and converging, accumulating stronger and stronger, just like the thousands of rivers returning to the sea, and was converging into the sword weapon beside him!
And the young man standing near this ancient sword, when this Yuehua streamer swept over him, he found that the Taihua Dao power in his body seemed to be pulled by this Yuehua Qi machine, and began to circulate in those four tendons and eight bones!
At this time, the ancient sword emitted that faint and slenderness again, and the silver moonlight, as soon as it touched the surface of the sword, it was like a mud cow entering the sea, and it was suddenly gone.
The originally dull sword body now seems to be changing with all kinds of inexplicable patterns!
