Chapter 18 The Courtyard Empty Bird Language, the Streams and Mountains Wander in Dreams

Awakening that this time he took the stage to give a lecture on the scriptures, it can really be said that he first suppressed and then raised, and the strange peaks protruded, and now many people have begun to take a closer look at this originally inconspicuous young man.

Just as Xingyan turned around and returned to his seat, he saw that the Shangqing elders in the seat were all smiling at him. And the two daughters of Qiong Wei Xueyi, who came with him, needless to say, were even more cheerful and sincerely happy for him.

It's just that no one noticed that now the hall master of the Four Seas Hall, who was already sitting upright, was trembling slightly!

It turned out that Fang Cai played the flute out of thin air, and it was he who used the Taihua Dao Force to drive the air flow to stir between his fingers. Just now, Xingyan was immersed in the sound of the flute, and he persevered in one breath, but he didn't feel anything unusual. But as soon as the matter was over, Xingyan only felt short of breath and exhausted, and his arm seemed to have spasms. Coupled with the thoughts that have been carried all day for a few days, once it is over, this heart is also very excited, so Xingyan now only feels that in his chest, a heart is pounding, and his body is also shaking.

What's especially bad is that the more Xingyan tries to stop the tremor, the more powerful the shock becomes!

However, fortunately, the sleeves of the robe he was wearing were quite wide, and no one saw his strange appearance for a while. Now the head of the Lingxu is standing in front of the center of the observation deck, reciting the last prayer of the prayer meeting. Most people's attention is focused on this master in charge. Even if someone occasionally pays attention to Xingyan, they only think that it is the wind blowing the robe, and they would never have imagined that this hall master of the four seas with a calm face would tremble all over his body!

Speaking of which, Xingyan Fang's Void Flute Playing Technique was originally just an accidental realization when he was bored. It is said that one time, Qiong Wei and Xueyi left their hall master and went to the mountains to pick fruits. It happened that Xingyan had no intention of reading the Bible that day, and when he was bored, he studied the theory of the sound of the jade flute. After a while, he seemed to have an understanding, and then he tried to use the Taihua Dao power to simulate the breath oscillation in the jade pipe between his fingers, and after several failures, he finally let him succeed in his attempt.

Although, such an empty-handed flute sound does not have the natural charm of the jade flute Shenxue, but it is not satisfactory. It's just that in the past, he only regarded this as a somewhat interesting little trick, and after the successful audition, he put it down, but he didn't expect that this little skill of carving insects in his mind would now be used to save the scene. Thinking about it like this, Xingyan couldn't help but feel a little grateful to Dade and began to ponder its significance:

"Yo, this skill is wonderful! In the future, in a hurry, you can save yourself from getting the flute......"

When he was waking up and thinking wildly, he heard the Taoist music class in the audience start playing music again. At this time, it was the music at the end of the Taoist homework: "Send Tianzun".

This song "Send Tianzun" belongs to Guangcheng rhyme, which is used for the Taoist Dharma After the merit is completed, the Taoists thank the gods for their true blessings and pray for the praise of the universal Li Shu without disasters and obstacles.

In the middle of the peaceful Taoist song, the Shangqing elders lined up on the listening platform began to chant the corresponding mantras of the Taoist song in unison to the rhythm of the rhyme.

The quiet and quiet silk bamboo bell chime, coupled with a somewhat desolate Taoist singing voice, finally made the untimely tremor on Xingyan's body gradually subside......

Now, the hall master of the four seas, who had calmed down, also sang according to the beat and sang with the sound of the crowd.

At the end of the Taoist song, I saw the head of the Shangqing Palace standing in the middle of the listening platform, Lingxu Zhenren, with the thick syllables struck out by the chime, stepping on the nine palaces, and Yu Bu shouted his blessings:

"Towering morality, merit is rounded; Yongdu Sanqing, long resignation five turbidity ......"

With the chant of the master, all the Shangqing disciples on and off the stage chanted in unison:

"Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable!"

With the recitation of this Dao trumpet that soared into the sky, the grand lecture on the first day of the seventh month of the Shangqing Palace was completed and officially ended.

After the lecture ended, the Shangqing disciples on Songfeng Ping did not completely disperse. Many disciples brought straw mats, wine and vegetables from the Chongde Palace, spread them out on this pine wind lawn, sat in groups of four or five, and began to drink and talk freely.

This practice is a long-standing tradition of the Qing Palace on Luofu Mountain. At the end of each lecture meeting, these Shangqing Yushi who are free to cultivate will be on the pine wind flat stone platform grass, curtain the sky and the ground, call friends and companions, or drink among the pines, or talk about the mysteries on the stone, so that they can exchange their cultivation experience and enhance the friendship of the same family, which can be said to kill two birds with one stone.

Naturally, now the female disciples in those Purple Cloud Halls are very popular, and they often invite each other from many places.

Xingyan is now drinking under the shade of the pine on the southwest side of the listening platform with Lingxu, Lingting and other palaces in the Shangqing Palace, and Qiong Wei and Kou Xueyi, who came with him, were entrusted to the banquet of Chen Ziping, Hua Piaochen and others, who were familiar with each other.

Xu is said to be unexpected, and now this young man who is not weak is listed among these famous Daomen, and no one feels that there is anything inappropriate for a while. Inevitably, since he was asked about today's speech, he chose some appropriate places to say, and he responded appropriately with a reward.

After drinking a few rounds of light wine, I suddenly heard the head of Lingxu say:

"Today, all of you Daoist brothers happen to be here, and I want to discuss something with you. ”

"Oh, please show me the senior brother. ”

"It's not a big deal. In the past, it was said that Nanhai County sent a document to say that in Jieyang County under his jurisdiction, mountain bandits were rampant and could not be eliminated repeatedly, and now those bandits are becoming more and more powerful, disturbing the territory and robbing the people, and the disaster is very great. ”

Hearing Lingxu say this, the Lingting Daoist who was sitting cross-legged on the side asked with some doubts.

"Senior brother, this suppression of bandits is the responsibility of the official family, but what does it have to do with my Shangqing?"

"Originally, it had nothing to do with it; it was just that the Taishou said that these mountain bandits were not to worry about at all, but recently, somehow, every time the county soldiers went to suppress the bandits, when they pursued them, behind those bandits, there were always flames on the ground, like walls and walls, blocking the way of the officers and soldiers, and I always watched those mountain bandits go away. ”

"So there are warlocks and demons secretly assisting the bandits?"

"Exactly. So Duan Taishou was worried, so he had to ask Benmen for help. Fellow Daoists, you can have a little discussion now and see if there are any suitable candidates to assist the officers and soldiers in suppressing the bandits. ”

As soon as Lingxuzi's words fell, he heard the straightforward words of Qingming Dao:

"I have passed the head of the sect, this matter of slaying demons and eliminating demons, this sect is naturally obliged. It's just that the poor Dao thinks that the officials often exaggerate, maybe it's just a fire trick used by bandits. Even if it is really as said in the official document, I am afraid that it is just a little demon of scabies, and there is really no need to make a big move. ”

Some small things are about to alarm the head of Shangqing, and Qingming feels a little impatient.

However, for his disapproval, the head of the spirit void who was not easy to change his mood and anger, rarely lowered his face and said in a deep voice:

"Qingming, the affairs of the government are never trivial. Although I am in the Qing Palace, I cultivate the way of heaven and admire the immortal law, but after all, this temple is still in the world. There are many things that depend on the imperial court, so how can the government ignore them?"

"The master has taught me a lesson. ”

Seeing that Lingxu was displeased, Qingming quickly got up and apologized.

Just when the atmosphere at the banquet was a little awkward, someone suddenly interjected:

"Since it's a little demon with scabies, but it disturbs Li Min, why don't you let the kid go and experience it?"

Everyone followed the sound and saw that the person who Mao Sui recommended himself was the young hall master of the Sihai Hall who was said to be extraordinary.

It turned out that after listening to Lingxu, Lingting, and Qingming's answers, Xingyan moved his mind again. This young man, who has been walking in the market for a long time, knows the harm of the bandits. Those bandits who haunt the big lonely mountains in Poyang have always done things that hurt heaven and reason in the name of doing things for heaven. These heroes regard human life as a mustard, and when they rob the road, they will slaughter with knives and throw their corpses on the side of the road.

Therefore, when I heard that it was a bandit connection, and then I heard that it was just a little demon, I estimated that I could deal with it, so I took the initiative to ask the boss with a little bit of alcohol.

In the past few months of staying in the Thousand Bird Cliff of Baoxia Peak, Xingyan is also quite quiet.

Seeing that Xingyan took the initiative to ask for help, the head of the Lingxu pondered for a while, and said seriously to the young man:

"Hall Master Zhang has this heart to eliminate demons and love the people, which is very good, but I don't know if you have ever thought of a way to deal with it?"

"I have learned some talismans, and I can draw spells to avoid fire on soldiers. ”

Xingyan carefully skipped the person who taught the talisman and did not mention it.

"Well, that's a good solution. But what are you going to do if you meet the magician on a narrow path?"

"The head of the good sect learned that I had practiced a freezing technique in Raozhou, and according to the Five Elements of Ice Water and Fire, I would definitely be able to crack that person's spell. ”

"Oh?"

Hearing the young man say this, everyone at the banquet was a little surprised. Seeing the hesitation on the faces of others, he had the heart to audition. After concentrating slightly, he saw a flash of blue light in front of him, and the glass of water and wine in front of him was already frost floating, and the cold air hit people.

Seeing this glass of ice wine, it seems that what he said is true, even if he agrees to the request of the awakening:

"Okay, this time to help the government, you will preside over it. Ming said that you will come to Feiyunding Chengxin Hall, and I will explain some necessary matters to you. ”

After waking up and thanking him, he heard the Lingting Daoist beside the head of Lingxu ask with a smile:

"I don't know how hot the freezing technique that Xingyan and Qinghe's nephew have learned?"

So, in the next banquet, everyone drank cool and cold ice wine.

Between sipping, the Qingming Taoist had another thought in his heart.

After reading Xingyan's ingenious speech in the morning, now in the minds of this Qingming Taoist who is superb in Taoism, he has truly regarded the young man as a hall master in his own sect. Therefore, as soon as he thought that he would use the method of talisman to go down the mountain, this Qingming Taoist who acted in a good way felt that he had fallen a little bit of the reputation of the master of the Shangqing Palace.

So, after a little drink of two or three cups, Qingming found an opportunity and said to Xingyan:

"Poor Dao, see that Hall Master Zhang also has a sword weapon, I wonder if I have ever learned the art of sword control in this sect?"

"Uh?!Sword control, art?!cough!"

Qingming's sudden question made the young man who was sipping wine almost choked on the wine!

"Is it the art of sword control?"

"That's right!' 'Sword Control Technique' is the Flying Sword Technique in my Shangqing Sect, the 'Flying Sword Technique' in the Heavenly Master Sect, and the 'Flying Blade Dance' in the Miaohua Palace, which are the three major flying sword techniques in the world's Dao Sect. ”

"I went to the Qing Gate to control the sword, I don't know if Hall Master Zhang has ever studied it? If you have time, you can learn a thing or two from the hall master. ”

“......”

Hearing what Daoist Qingming said, Xingyan was suddenly so excited that he was a little speechless. In the morning, he just remembered to learn the art of flying swords, and it was less than two hours before and after, and a master of this took the initiative to mention to himself - is it really a good time to travel and drink and feast today?

Overjoyed, Xingyan opened his mouth and forgot to answer for a while. After a while, Xingyan came to his senses and hurriedly replied:

"In fact, I have admired the Daomen Flying Sword Technique for a long time, but it was still short when I started, and I never had the opportunity to learn it. If you can get the guidance of Brother Qingming, it will naturally be a great blessing for the kid!"

"Well said. Qingming is waiting for the hall master at any time in the Dharma Hall - preferably before going down the mountain to eliminate the demon!"

"Okay! Thank you here!"

Hearing Qingming's hearty promise, he said that even if he got up and left the table, he respectfully bowed to Qingming. At that moment, Qingming also got up to return the salute.

Seeing the actions of the two, the other Taoists at the banquet all smiled.

When the excitement was over, he woke up and carried Qiong Wei and Xue Yi, left this Zhu Mingfeng, and turned around to hug Xia Peak Thousand Bird Cliff.

Today's lecture is really fruitful for Xingyan.

Remembering Qingming's appointment, this afternoon, Xingyan dragged his nameless blunt sword, and rushed to the front mountain to visit Qingming Taoist and ask for advice on sword control. Seeing that Xingyan came to visit as promised, Qingming was also very happy, and after a little greeting, he began to explain the principle of sword control to the young man.

It turned out that the flying sword technique of the Shangqing Palace, "Sword Control Technique", was divided into two steps: "Cultivating Spirit" and "Controlling the Sword".

Cultivating the spirit is to cultivate the spirit of the sword through a specific method. Harnessing the sword, in the final analysis, is the method of the sword master and the inspiration in the sword. Only when you figure it out can you use the flying sword method, and only then can you control the sword weapon like a finger arm.

And the "sword control technique" is the basis of the flight of the sword of the Shangqing Palace.

Qingming Dao Chang's unheard words made his heart flutter when he heard it, and immediately put up his ears and listened carefully, for fear of missing a word.

There are famous experts to explain and demonstrate, and the students are quite intelligent and proficient, and after a while, Xingyan will be quite complicated "sword control tricks", as well as the sword control experience of Qingming Taoist people, word for word in mind.

Before saying goodbye and going out, he asked Daoist Qingming to appraise his ancient sword from Horseshoe Mountain to see if it could be used as a flying sword. After receiving an affirmative reply from the Qingming Daoist, Xingyan relieved his heart, thanked and said goodbye to the Qingming Daoist, and happily returned to the Thousand Bird Cliff.

After learning such a magical flying sword technique, this young hall master, just like his little sister Qiong Wei, who got a new toy, was itching and just thinking about how to practice this technique as soon as possible. That night, Xingyan began to toss beside the Sleeve Cloud Pavilion according to the method taught by Qingming.

It's just that what makes him a little discouraged is that no matter how much he tosses, the ancient sword in front of him still doesn't move. At this time, Xingyan remembered what Qingming said:

Unlike other spells, the Sword Mastery Technique is not something that can be practiced overnight. The Pearson of the Spirit of the Sword alone would have taken at least a year and a half. And if the sword weapon is inherently of poor sword quality, or the sword master's Dao strength is not good, or even just because the cultivator's luck is not good, maybe after ten years and eight years, the cultivation of the "Sword Control Technique" will still be nothing.

And among the hundreds of disciples in the Shangqing Palace, there are only a few dozen people who are really familiar with sword control.

Thinking of Qingming's words, the anxious sword master finally calmed down and obediently began to cultivate step by step.

Maybe there are too many things in this scripture, and this young hall master who is staring at it has forgotten one thing: his strange sword may have a spirit.

The next morning, Xingyan went to the Chengxin Hall on the top of the flying clouds and met the head of Lingxu. Lingxuzi explained some necessary matters to him, and then told him to set off as soon as possible, and not to wait too long.

So, in the early morning of the next day, the Sikaitang on the Thousand Bird Cliff began to be lively early in the morning.

The smoke curled up, and it was Kou Xueyi who began to cook the morning porridge and fry the dry food on the road for the sake of Xingyan. Qiong Wei also got up early, ran all over the house, and according to her own understanding, collected the things that her brother should prepare for going out from the corner of the wall.

This little girl, yesterday, heard that Xingyan was going to go far away, so she shouted that she would go with her. However, he felt that this trip was not to play in the mountains and rivers, but to assist the official family in doing things, and it was likely to encounter danger. What's more, between the marches and soldiers, if you take this little girl with you, no matter what the young man imagines, he always feels a little nondescript.

Therefore, last night, let Qiong Wei lobby beside him in every possible way, and he just didn't let go-

Seeing that the hall master's brother was resolute, after all conceivable tricks were declared invalid, the little girl had no choice but to obediently let go of her little hand, slipped off the ground, and went to the side to play.

Rubbing his sour neck, he said with satisfaction:

"Well, Qiong Wei is so obedient!"

Finally, it's time to go.

Now, I saw that this young man who was about to embark on the road of eliminating demons and defending the road, with an ancient sword on his back behind him, a jade flute tied around his waist, and a compact cyan Taoist suit, his whole body was surrounded by a thin mountain morning mist, and he looked heroic.

took the blanket and bag handed by Xue Yi, Xingyan explained a few words to the second daughter, then said goodbye, turned around and went down the mountain.

Behind the young man full of pride, in the cool and gentle morning breeze of the Thousand Bird Cliff, there were two girls with fluttering clothes, standing there watching the young man go away, watching his figure all the time, completely disappearing in the morning mist of the mountains like a dream......

Precisely:

The little girl is delicate

Youthful and heroic

Leave the cloud mansion lightly

Foot practice hustle and bustle

Look back at where you came

The water is misty and the mountains are far away
