Chapter 17: Enter the Outer Gate

The Qingluo Mountains are vast and uninhabited. Because there is a large spiritual vein that runs through the east and west, the six major sects are all here. Wanfa Sect is located in the west of the Qingluo Mountains, and the peak is called Qingyun Mountain. Crossing the vast water network plain, to the south, is the southern wilderness forest that makes people talk about the tiger's color, and the five demon clans guard the southern wilderness.

I don't know how many thousands of miles it has leaped over, and the Wanfa Sect has revealed its 10,000-year-old vicissitudes in a sea of clouds, mountains and fog.

Dozens of bright lights in the sky landed on the open square in front of the mountain gate. The empty square suddenly became chaotic and disorderly. The mountain gate was wide open, and more than a dozen figures flew into the air. At the front was an old man with a childish face and a flying sword on his feet, and when he saw this chaotic and noisy scene, he immediately released a mountain-like aura to press on everyone, and the whole square was silent in an instant.

Dou Changsheng and the others bowed their heads to the old man in fear: "Meet Uncle Chen, the disciples will return from completing the mission of the sect, please take a look at it." Then, with his divine sense, he said, "This time, this sect is fortunate to accept five disciples of the single spirit root. ”

The old man surnamed Chen's eyes lit up, and he said that you have done a good job. After that, he released his divine sense to the five people, and with a slight pinch of his fingers, a white cloud several feet in size rose from under his feet, and drank to the five people: "If you don't come up quickly, when will you wait." A gust of wind swept the five men up and threw them into the clouds, and the white clouds immediately flew off the ground and headed for the mountain gate.

Zhang Ran You Ziqi looked at it with red eyes and heartbeats, and said that he didn't envy it was fake, and he didn't have that kind of capital.

There was a whisper in the square, and a middle-aged foundation building monk who arrived from the mountain gate with the old man surnamed Chen looked at the rest of the people with disdain, rolled his eyes, and shouted, "Miscellaneous disciple set off with me." After saying that, he took off into the air and flew down the mountain. The dozen or so disciples who came with him were scolding while rushing to the largest number of miscellaneous servants.

Zhang Ran looked down the mountain and saw a boundless sea of bamboo, in which countless fine houses were hidden.

You Ziqi whispered to Zhang Ran, it is difficult to disperse and cultivate, and it is better to make a fire by yourself, so it is better to keep warm in a group. Zhang Ran agreed that he was also a casual cultivator, and it was difficult to describe the taste.

There were three hundred outer disciples left in the square.

Dou Changsheng glanced at it and said, "The outer disciple is the backbone of the sect. Many inner disciples came from this, and I was also an outer disciple. He looked up and saw the eagerness on everyone's faces, and he was very satisfied with the effect.

Then he said, "Only when the heart of the Tao is firm can we achieve immortality." After the dotting, Chao Gan Wansheng nodded.

Gan Wansheng advised: "Now I and a few of you foundation building uncles will take you to the outer gate chores, one is to register and distribute tokens and clothes, the second is to receive exercises, and there are no five spirit stones, and the third is to distribute the cave house. ”

Everyone followed Uncle Zhuji and entered from the mountain gate.

The cave is slightly small, and the roof of the cave is inlaid with a pearl that emits a soft light. Zhang Ran sat cross-legged on the futon, thinking silently in his heart. Since the coincidence, along the way, taste the hardships. What is the purpose of self-cultivation? is it to pursue great power, is it to be free and detached, is it to protect one's family from being bullied, is it to pursue the eternal path of eternal life that is far away and indefinite?

Dou Changsheng said that if you want to strengthen your Dao heart, then what is your Dao heart? Only pursuing strength will make you lost, just for the freedom without restraint will make you indifferent, your family can't hide under the care of your wings forever, and the path of immortality only exists in the classics, and who has ever seen who can become immortal and attain the Dao forever......

It's everything, and it's like everything.

His brain hurt, Zhang Ran straightened his waist and walked out of the cave.

Zhang Ran's cave house, compared with other denser cave houses, is slightly off, but the scenery is unique. Outside a stone platform, the white clouds under the stone platform are leisurely, as if at your fingertips, a few green pine walls stand thousands of miles, playing in the white clouds and breeze.

The past personnel unconsciously emerge in front of me one by one. Without his grandfather's persistence, he would not have been able to go to school; without the kindness of his husband, he would have been illiterate; without the fallen old man, he would not have been able to touch cultivation; and without Jiang Daolin's help, it would have been impossible for him to enter the realm of cultivating immortals. Can you forget all this? Whether you are a mortal or an immortal cultivator, as long as you are a human being, you can't forget your roots.

Zhang Ran realized that his own Dao heart is not forgetting the roots, this is his eternal Dao heart.

The aura around him seemed to be turned upside down by something, turning into a whirlpool of aura. The pure aura seemed to contain a strange aura, and they all rushed towards Zhang Ran. "The Trick of Breaking Holes" worked silently, and several places on the body were hot and hot, and stinging and tearing came as scheduled. In a moment's effort, three tricks, and a meridian were opened. This was the first time that Zhang Ran did not deliberately cultivate, and naturally opened his mind.

The Divine Consciousness of the Foundation Cultivator can almost cover this area where the outer disciples are cultivating. Gan Wansheng was slightly surprised, and his divine sense moved to Zhang Ran's cave mansion, and there was a little bit of Dao heart breath in this pure aura. No wonder Dou Changsheng said that this kid is good, he knows what kind of person Dou Changsheng is. Not only does he look at people's eyes, but his own cultivation is several times the best in the Ten Thousand Law Sect, he is in his sixties, and he is already in the realm of the late stage of foundation building, and he is also the closed disciple of the Jindan Elder of the Ten Thousand Law Sect, and his vision and identity are not trivial. When you have the chance, you can help this kid, and after thinking about it, you still close your eyes and meditate.

The outer gate of the Wanfa Sect is at the foot of Qingyun Mountain, and the huge outer gate is composed of various areas such as the Dongfu cultivation area, the Gongfa Hall, the Danyao Hall, and the miscellaneous hall. The building regulations are neat and the functional zoning is clear.

For Zhang Ran, the most attractive benefit for outer disciples is that the elders of the sect preach and solve doubts. When you first embark on the path of cultivation, ordinary people only know how to open their pulses, and they are brave and ruthless. The preaching of the elders of the sect is to take advantage of the low realm of these disciples to correct their misunderstandings in cultivation, guide them to the correct direction of cultivation, and lay the foundation for their cultivation. The benefits of the sect are revealed, and the scattered cultivation is not to be heard.

On the pulp, a gray, thin old man sat cross-legged with his eyes closed. On the white jade steps under the stage, the outer disciples sat in turn.

Seeing that all the disciples had arrived, the old man opened his cloudy eyes and talked eloquently.

What is the opening of the vein, one is to accept the spiritual energy into the body, the spiritual energy is turned into internal force and stored in the dantian, and the other makes the meridian dantian form a cycle. Those who open the 24 orifices and the 12 passages of the main body are small circulation, and they can generally practice the method of cultivating immortals, why?

Those who accept qi must first comprehend qi and comprehend the aura of heaven and earth with the same attributes as their own spiritual root. If not, cultivation will stagnate, and if you realize it, you can enter a new realm of cultivation, and your internal force will be transformed into spiritual power, that is, the period of absorbing qi, and your lifespan can be increased to 120 years.

As soon as the old man finished teaching, he left, and the disciples immediately stood up and gave them away.

Zhang Ran listened to it with endless interest, cultivation is by no means a one-person exploration, and the experience of others will definitely play a role in getting twice the result with half the effort for his own cultivation. This kind of sermon will not be missed in the future.

If preaching and preaching is a free benefit of the sect, then if you want to enter places like the Gongfa Hall, you need spiritual stones or sect contribution points. Contribution points refer to the contribution points obtained by receiving and completing the tasks issued by the sect or elders, and according to the value of the tasks, the elders of the Miscellaneous Affairs Hall will inject these contribution points into the identity cards of the disciples with mana stimulation.

When he first came to Banyue, Zhang Ran did not have these contribution points.

Gongfa Hall is the most lively place in the outer gate. Zhang Ran didn't come here for the exercises, but to solve the problems that had plagued him for a long time. I was bent on opening the ebony box and looking for any books on it.

Zhang Ran saluted to the elders guarding the Gong Fa Hall, handed over five spirit stones according to the rules, and walked in.

It is worthy of the collection of a 10,000-year-old sect, and the secret books of the exercises are as vast as a sea of smoke. Of course, it's not haphazardly placed, and each one is labeled, which is very convenient to find. Zhang Ran also found what he longed for, registered it with the elders, and said that he would return it in three months.

In the cave, Zhang Ran impatiently picked up "The Initial Solution of the Formation" and read it carefully.

The formation is a one, the avenue of heaven and earth, cultivated to a high and deep place, and the heaven and earth can be used as a formation, and the ghosts and gods are unpredictable.

To construct a formation, you must have specific materials, such as spirit wood, gold stones, high-priced demon animal skins, etc.

The formation is composed of the formation base and the formation flag, and prohibition is also a type of formation.

The general formation can also be called the Five Elements Array, and the five elements of heaven and earth can form different formations.

To learn formations, we must first learn to understand and engrave different formation graphics, which are ever-changing, and deduce thousands of avenues.

After reading it, Zhang Ran couldn't help but feel embarrassed, not to mention anything else, this formation material is not easy to obtain. Besides, he was only a low-level cultivator in the Tongmai stage, and he couldn't learn this formation without forming a spiritual sense.

Is it just to give up, can you use other materials instead, without spiritual sense, you can also manually, one step ahead to familiarize yourself with these basic formation graphics. Zhang Ran thinks this idea is feasible.

There is no need for any materials, the flat stone platform outside the cave mansion looks extremely smooth, and there is no need for any spirit pen and spirit knife, the cold ice sword can come in handy. Hehe, if the people who were forbidden from the talisman door knew about this, they would definitely laugh and lose their big teeth.

Zhang Ran doesn't care about these, the specific means are not important, the important thing is to achieve the goal in the right direction, he is really an uninhibited person.

Even the simplest small five-element array has intricate patterns and complex textures. Zhang Ran took out the ruthlessness he had in the school, slashed with a sword, and started again if he was not satisfied. The stone platform several feet large has been carved beyond recognition. It's not that it's nothing, at least the Five Elements Array Diagram is remembered a lot by him.

For more than three months, he hardly slept until he practiced the exercises and sword techniques, and at the same time copied the formation diagram without being discouraged, and his understanding of the formation method also improved by leaps and bounds.

On this day, Zhang Ran crossed his knees on the futon, and the exercises were completed, and the two knots and one pulse were opened. When he looked at the spirit stone powder on the ground, he smiled helplessly.
