Chapter 7 Juanyun Danxia, full of sorrow and worries
Although, when Chen Ziping lamented the evil "soul eater", Xingyan was also submissive, and echoed it from time to time. But if Chen Ziping pays a little attention, he will find that the obedient person in front of him is actually a little absent-minded.
After chatting for a while, the hall master of the four seas, who had a ghost in his heart, finally found an opportunity and got up to say goodbye.
Standing on the mountain road leading to the Thousand Bird Cliff again, Xingyan suddenly realized that he had just broken out in a lot of cold sweat, and as soon as the mountain wind blew, his clothes were stuck to his body with sweat, and he was indescribably awkward and uncomfortable. However, this cool mountain breeze also blew him up a lot.
was staggering forward, some young people who were hesitant and hesitant, inadvertently saw the mountain grass and flowers that were flourishing beside the road, but their hearts suddenly moved:
"No! My 'refining god and transforming void' technique should never be the extremely evil 'soul devouring' that Brother Chen just said!"
For so many days, I have experienced what a subtle and mysterious realm I have experienced in the fairy spirit qi in the Luofu Cave on the Thousand Bird Cliff. And at the time of the "refining of the gods and the transformation of the void", at the time of the circulation of the "Taihua Dao power", how clear and ethereal the whole person became!
How could such a wonderful Dao technique be that unforgivable evil magic spell?
After the cool mountain breeze blew, the young man who had just been stunned by Chen Ziping's words became flexible again. Then he thought:
"If this refining of gods and transformation of the void is really the evil technique that Chen Ziping said, then why is it that when I refine every night, Xiao Qiongwei who accompanies me is always safe and sound?"
Thinking about this, the young man's heart was relieved.
However, since his own technique of refining gods and transforming the void can be regarded as "soul devouring", it seems that it is necessary to re-examine what is the effect of his own Dao technique, which he has not mastered for a long time. Naturally, the words and phrases in the "Refining Gods and Transforming Voids" chapter began to play back in his mind like a marquee.
After passing through countless shadows, finally, he stopped at the last sentence of the fiction chapter:
"Refining the god of chaos in heaven and earth, and transforming the qi of disharmony in the universe. The ultimate way of heaven, for the way of heaven. The gods are vast, and they are also capable. ”
Now, after experiencing all these ups and downs, I have a new understanding of this sentence when I think about it:
"The so-called God of Heaven and Earth Chaos should be the homework I must do every night on that Thousand Bird Cliff. And this disobedience to the universe...... I'm afraid, this is the real reason why I was able to smash that elm stool demon and freeze that mad snake demon!"
In this way, in the subjugation of demons yesterday, the incomprehensible things finally had an explanation: why at the beginning of yesterday's day, his "Taihua Dao Power" did not make any sound, and it was not until the snake demon went crazy that it started on its own.
"Uhhh
And because the snake insect is inherently cold-tolerant, there are often snakes that die through winter stiffness, and only after he used refining the gods to dissolve the demonic energy in the snake demon's body, he was quickly frozen by the spell of the ice heart knot.
"I can't see that my art of refining gods and transforming the void is not only an evil art, but also the nemesis of those evil spirits!"
Thinking of this, the young man was also a little complacent.
However, after a short pause, Xingyan's already relaxed expression gradually became solemn:
"That's not right...... This art of refining gods and transforming the void, when it is used, seems to be no different from that evil art 'soul devouring'!"
Suddenly, Xingyan thought of a not-so-good scene: next time I let myself meet a monster, if this monster is not funny, just go crazy there, then it is difficult to ensure that my Taihua Dao power, which is full of sense of justice, will not take the initiative to run out to "refine the gods and turn into nothingness"!
If that monster looks like the snake demon in the middle of yesterday, pulling his neck and just shouting, then he won't be able to wash himself by jumping into the Yellow River!
Listening to what Chen Zi said just now, it seems that few people in this world have really seen what "Soul Eater" looks like, if it is passed on by the uninformed onlookers, then his own fate will be ......
"Maybe it's not that scary. ”
Although he was forced to calm down, in front of Xingyan's eyes, Chen Ziping's indignant look kept flashing - Xingyan was very clear that this matter could not be said in the same way as the matter of taking in Qiong Wei. Suddenly, another thought flashed through his mind:
"When that Qinghe old Dao was expelled from the mountain, could it also be related to this refining of gods and turning into nothingness? Looking at the way he chattered when he gave himself this scripture, I am afraid that this matter is not completely impossible. ”
Although this is a confusing account, he feels that if this suspected "soul devouring" technique that he knows can lead to any consequences, I am afraid that it will not be his own business at that time.
"We have to find a way to cover it up. ”
The boy mused.
After waiting for this thought, he didn't bother much, and Xingyan thought of a way to resolve it.
"Didn't Brother Chen Dao just say that when the Soul Devouring Evil Technique was cast, there was always a scene of gloomy wind and compassion and black steam? ”
Thinking of this, Xingyan had an idea:
"In that case, then I can think of a way to make myself appear some bright and righteous when I cast the spell there—then it will not be easy for people to misunderstand!"
It's a pity that although this idea is good, after some searching, I found that it is not easy to implement this method.
No, Xingyan immediately thought that among the few spells he only knew, the spell of the "Instant Water Technique" could make his whole body glow. But unfortunately, when he activated the Instant Water Trick on this mountain, a layer of brilliance rose up all over his body, and it was very clear in the dense shade of the trees—
It is a pity that this dark and gloomy light on his body is really not a bright and magnificent scene, and if it is combined with a desolate scream...... Not only does that not have the effect of covering up, but it makes people more suspicious!
"Hmm, then when you have some free time, go to the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion on the top of the flying clouds and take a look at the spells that make people glow with golden light and look awe-inspiring!"
After making up his mind, the young man's steps became brisk again, and he walked leisurely towards the Thousand Bird Cliff.
In the next few days, to Xingyan's surprise, the Kou Xue Yikou girl he inadvertently took in brought a lot of convenience to him and Qiong Wei.
In the past, every time he had a meal, he would take Qiong Wei to forage for food in the Dharma Hall on the same Baoxia Peak. But since Kou Xueyi came, the three of them only went there four or five times to eat, and then stopped going.
Because about two or three days later, Kou Xueyi told Xingyan that she was not used to eating in front of these many people.
Therefore, she woke up and went to the kitchen of the Dharma Hall to ask for the necessary pots and spoons, as well as the rice, noodles, vegetables and vegetables, and then she raised the fire in this Sihai Hall, and began to cook the food for the three meals for the people in the Sihai Hall.
But in fact, the two female dependents, who accounted for the majority of the Sihai Hall, basically only ate the little girl of Qiongwei, and every time they picked up the delicious fruits from nowhere, most of the things cooked in the stove went into the belly of the master of the Sihai Hall.
Although Xingyan also persuaded Kou Xueyi not to work so hard, she just smiled indifferently and said that she should make a wish to be a slave and a maid, and these are all things she should do.
When she said this, Kou Xueyi's face was like frost and snow, and there was a look of tenacity that was rare even for men. Along with it, there is also a touch of sadness that seems to never go away.
Looking at her look, after persuading her a few times, Xingyan didn't insist anymore. It's just that this has shattered the dreams of many young disciples of the Shangqing Palace:
After Xue Yi arrived, there were often young disciples on other peaks, who were not afraid of the wind and sun, trekking through mountains and rivers, and rushed to this Baoxia Peak to eat in the Dharma Palace!
A few days later, this day, the eternally tireless little Qiongwei pulled her big sister Xueyi and went to the mountains to pick flowers and look for fruits together. As soon as the two girls left, it seemed that the four seas were very quiet for a while.
After this period of leisure, Xingyan recited the scriptures in the sleeve cloud pavilion. After reading half of the scriptures, I felt a little tired, so I spread my eyes and looked at the gurgling waterfall between the mountains opposite to soothe my spirit.
The top of the pavilion with the flying cloud pavilion covers the sunshine of this summer. From time to time, some yellowish leaves fell from the branches of the trees beside the pavilion, and fell leisurely with the mountain breeze, scattered on the scrolls spread out in front of the young man.
After a while, he suddenly remembered that he was fine now, anyway, why not take advantage of this to visit the Hidden Scripture Pavilion on the top of the flying clouds?
Thinking of this, he tied up the scroll in front of him, picked up his robes slightly, and then walked towards the flying cloud top.
Shangqing Palace Tianyi Tibetan Scripture Pavilion, located in Luofu Mountain Feiyunding on the side of the Qingguan, echoes with the Guantian Pavilion of the back mountain. But compared with the majestic spirit of the Guantian Pavilion, this Tibetan Scripture Pavilion is not very conspicuous from the outside, just a three-story stone building. The roof of the stone pavilion is covered with green tiles.
Tianyi Pavilion is made of such a material, which is suitable for fire prevention. And the name of "Tianyi" in this Tibetan Scripture Pavilion is also taken from the saying that "Tiansheng is born of water", which refers to the restraint of fire. What is the origin of this "heaven and water", before Qiong Wei came to the Thousand Bird Cliff, when he woke up and said that there was nothing to do, he had also done research. It's just that the farthest thing I can only know is that the great Confucian Zheng Xuan of the former dynasty once said: "Heaven is born of water, and the earth is sixty percent." "If you go any further, you will be lost.
Now, looking at the past from afar, this day a Tibetan scripture pavilion is blue and gray, the shape is simple, and the appearance is quite old. Only the four corners of the pavilion roof curved cornices make it show a bit of aura.
When he arrived at the door of the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion, the disciple guarding the door didn't seem to know him very well. It was only after Xingyan showed the Sihai Hall Master Token that the disciple who guarded the door confessed his guilt and respectfully invited him in.
When he came to the Scripture Pavilion, he found that this Scripture Pavilion, which looked inconspicuous from the outside, was quite spacious inside. Rows of sandalwood bookshelves are neatly arranged on a flat terrazzo floor, and between the shelves are stacked with scrolls of scriptures.
After a brief tour of the scripture shelves, the young man found that in the entire building, in addition to himself, there were several Taoists guarding the scripture pavilion. In addition, in this large scripture pavilion, there are no Shangqing disciples looking through the scriptures.
What this newcomer didn't know was that in this scripture pavilion, none of the scriptures stored in this scripture pavilion were the scriptures used for ordinary practice. The Taoist scriptures used by the disciples of the Shangqing Dynasty for regular practice are provided in each hall of the Shangqing Dynasty.
Speaking of which, in the Four Seas Hall, compared to the size of the disciples in his hall, the collection of books can be regarded as very rich!
In addition, what makes Xingyan feel quite interesting is that in Tianyi Pavilion, the Taoist Scripture Pavilion, there are several columns of bookshelves, but the stacked ones are not Taoist scriptures. A little flip through it, there are many of the scriptures of the hundred schools of thought that he had read in that season's private school. Even, quite a few martial arts texts have been found there. And in some corners, there are also some strange warp scrolls that can't be said.
And these columns of some alternative bookshelves, all of them are inscribed with four seal characters: "The sea is inclusive".
It seems that the setting of the Shangqing Palace's Tibetan Scripture Pavilion also adheres to the teachings of the ancestors of the Shangqing Sect.
There is another point that also makes the attentive teenager notice. That is, although the hemp paper and bamboo paper are very popular in the Shangqing Palace, in this scripture pavilion, Xingyan found that almost all the books stored were those bamboo and wood scrolls. After a little thought, you can roughly understand the reason.
First, because most of the books in the collection were very old, I am afraid that there was no paper at that time. Second, even the new volumes are not written on paper, and most of them are so that they can be stored for a long time and are not easily damaged. Speaking of which, although the hemp paper bamboo paper is light, it is more likely to be eaten by insects, and if it is often read, its damage is also fast, which is not conducive to long-term storage.
It is these thousands of rolls of wooden bamboo books baked in different ages, which are stored together, mixed and exude an indescribable smell. This smell is like Lan Fei Lan, like a musk deer, but it is quite melancholy, refreshing, I am afraid that it is the book fragrance that the ancients talked about, right?
The awakening words are in these scripture bookshelves that exude the scent of sweat and green, and they are checked back and forth. It's just that after he turned around several times, he also patiently searched some scriptures, but after most of the hour, he still found nothing.
After a long day of futile efforts, Xingyan realized that although the scrolls in the first floor of the Scripture Pavilion were not as vast as a sea of smoke, they were almost as big as a stack of books. After weeks and more than half an hour, I found that I had found nothing but dazzled and my eyes were numb.
Finally, Xingyan decided to give up his own search and went to ask the senior Taoist who was responsible for guarding the Hidden Scripture Pavilion, Daoist Qingyang.
Respectfully seeing this thin-faced, kind-looking Qingyang Daoist, Xingyan explained his intention and asked Qingyang Daoist if there was a spell that could be unfolded in this Tibetan Scripture Pavilion that could make him appear a bright and brilliant scene all over his body.
Xu is a strange request, but it costs him a lot of words. In the end, he finally made this Qingyang Dao Master understand that the young hall master who had just entered the sect in front of him had said a spell for a long time, but it turned out that it was not a spell that was conducive to attack and defense - this young man was anxious to say a spell for a long time, but he just wanted to make himself look glorious after casting the spell!
But he said that this Qingyang Taoist had just seen this young hall master, who was concentrating on searching for scriptures between the bookshelves, and praised him for his diligence in his heart. When I found out the true intention of this young man now, and looked at his eager appearance, I secretly sighed in my heart:
"Alas, it's a pity. In the end, he is still a young man, and he just wants to learn these flashy tricks. ”
It's just that this Qingyang Dao Leader has always been gentle and kind, and he is not ready to brush the excitement of this young hall master. After thinking about it for a while, he said slowly to the expectant young man in front of him:
"It turns out that the hall master asked for this technique...... Poor Dao remembered that in the 'Danxiakui' over there, there was a scroll called 'Taishang Great Light God Mantra'. It seems to contain the spells required by the hall master. A few years ago, the poor road seemed to have browsed, probably called 'Xu Yao Xuan Hua Jue'. ”
"Ahh
Hearing what Yang Dao Chang said, he knew that there was indeed the kind of spell he had imagined in this Tibetan Scripture Pavilion, and in this way, his henchmen and worries could almost be completely eliminated!
Immediately, Xingyan was overjoyed, and after thanking him neatly, he quickly turned around and ran towards Danxiakui. The "Danxiakui" instructed by Daoist Qingyang was in an inconspicuous corner, and if he hadn't reminded him, Xingyan wouldn't have noticed it at all.
And behind the young man who was rushing away, this Qingyang Dao Chief, who had always spoken slowly and leisurely, had not had time to finish the more important second half of the sentence, and saw that the young hall master surnamed Anxious had already rushed towards the "Danxiakui"!
