Because he found what he was looking for, Ye Haotian felt very comfortable. At dinner, he chatted with the farmer.

Through conversation, he knew that the family's surname was Wang, Wang Laohan was in his sixties, and the family had two sons. The boss called Wang Wanshi, learned to carve stone tablets with people in the city, and rarely came back. The second child is called Wang Xiaoshi, about ten years old, he can't be idle, he likes to dance with knives and sticks, and he once learned two ways of boxing and kicking with his fellow villagers in the Huaqing Martial Arts Hall.

The Wang family has more than 10 acres of dry land, and the annual grain they receive is limited, and the family's income mainly depends on logging and stone mining in the mountains. They mined the stone from the mountains, carved it roughly, and sold it to the craftsmen in the city. Because the work was very rough and far from the city, it could not be sold for a few dollars, and the family could barely make ends meet.

"Can I take a look at your family's stone tools?" Ye Haotian asked the old man.

"Why not, just in the back room, come with me. The old man was very polite.

Ye Haotian got up and followed the old man to the back room, but saw that the room was full of stone tables, stone benches, stone mills, some stones, and a few stone horses. He walked around the room, and his eyes were drawn to a small stone box. The stone box is about three inches in size, and the carving is rough, so it is not worth much. What caught his attention was the texture of the stone box, which was a dark green color with a hint of white. Ye Haotian has often seen his father play with gold and stone jade since he was a child, so he knows at a glance that the green part belongs to Lantian jade.

The old man couldn't stop looking at him holding the stone box, and said with a smile: "This is carved by a child, it looks pretty good, and I don't know what the texture is." ”

Ye Haotian pondered for a moment and asked, "How far is Lantian County from here?"

"About eighty miles. ”

Ye Haotian knew in his heart that the mountains here were probably connected to the Lantian jade veins, and the jade mines extended from Lantian all the way here. He took out a tael of silver and handed it to the old man, asking to buy the jade box.

The old man hurriedly waved his hand: "No, no, how can you ask for one or two, such a big stone mill can only be sold for five dollars of silver!"

Ye Haotian said with a smile: "This is jade, how can it be compared to stone? ”

"Really?" the old man hurriedly called his youngest son: "Shiwa, come here, where did you find it?"

Wang Xiaoshi scratched his head and thought for a long time, and said: "It's on the back mountain, I can't say a word clearly, I'll take my husband tomorrow." ”

Early the next morning, Wang Xiaoshi came to ask, "Sir, shall we go?"

Ye Haotian said with a smile: "No, not in the morning, you have to wait until the afternoon." Looking at Wang Xiaoshi's puzzled expression, he added: "This is what the ancient book says, and I don't know if it is spiritual." There is a poem as evidence: "Lantian said that warm jade smokes", which says that under the light of the lie, Lantian jade will give birth to special jade smoke. That kind of jade smoke is only found when you pay special attention.

After lunch, Wang Xiaoshi came to urge with a chisel and a hammer.

Ye Haotian ordered him to lead the way in front and follow behind.

The two of them went out and didn't go far to a hill.

Halfway up the mountain, Wang Xiaoshi stopped and kicked the stone under his feet: "It's around here." ”

Ye Haotian looked down and saw that it was a piece of green and green mountain rocks, and some places showed some jade silk, but unfortunately they were all intermittently unsystematic.

He tried to pick a few places and chisel them down with a chisel in the direction of the jade silk. It turned out to be just ordinary stones, and it was the same several times in a row.

When Wang Xiaoshi saw it, he was a little disappointed.

Ye Haotian stood up and walked around slowly. The range of his movements is getting bigger and bigger. When he walked to a huge rock, the psychic jade on his chest suddenly warmed up. His heart moved, and he quickly stopped to take a closer look.

It was a large stone with a radius of more than ten zhang, the stone was white, and there was no grass, and there was no trace of jade. He walked along the boulder, the Tongling Baoyu was always hot, and it was cold when he left the Dashibaoyu. Walking to the place where he left the boulder, he looked carefully at the sun, and found that there was a faint mist on the boulder under the sun, and the texture of the mist was extremely fine and very fine.

When I looked back, I saw Wang Xiaoshi squatting on the ground in a daze.

Ye Haotian couldn't help but smile, approached the boulder, and chiseled down in the center of the boulder, only to see the green jade after only two or three chisels. The jade is buried very shallowly, less than half a foot from the surface of the boulder.

He got up and continued to dig in another place, and there was jade in several places. It seems that this piece of jade is huge, but I am afraid that it will be worth a fortune.

He piled back the chiseled stone chips, and then beckoned Wang Xiaoshi to go back. On the way back, he didn't say a word, thinking in his heart: "If so much wealth cannot be properly arranged, I am afraid that it will bring disaster to the Wang family, so we must think carefully about it." ”

In the past, he had never cared about money. But since the Su family's catastrophe, everything has changed.

Until this moment, he didn't know who the enemy was, and the road to revenge was not completely determined, so he had to make many preparations: if the enemy family came from a martial arts family, he could come to the door to ask for revenge after the martial arts were successful; Money can make the devil grind, and no matter which way, it is very beneficial to have enough money.

Wang Xiaoshi walked behind, looking at Ye Haotian walking with his head down and walking seriously, his mouth opened and closed.

Back in the house, Ye Haotian asked Wang Laohan and Xiaoshi to sit down, and then said with a solemn expression: "We have found a treasure, these jades can not only make us rich, but also ruin our family." ”

"Huh?" Wang Laohan was so frightened that his hands shook.

Ye Haotian hurriedly comforted him and said, "Don't be afraid, this place is sparsely populated, as long as we don't make a noise, no one should know." The top priority is to quietly mine the jade back. ”

Wang Xiaoshi also said: "Dad, it's okay, I'll go to the city to call the eldest brother back, and a few people will do it together, it won't take half a month." ”

Wang Laohan just nodded, and his heart was always uneasy.

That night, the boss Wang Wanshi returned.

Early the next morning, several people went up the mountain together, the Wang brothers had a chisel in their hands, but Ye Haotian took a rusty firewood knife.

When they reached the ground, the two men rolled up their sleeves and prepared to dig. Ye Haotian thought that the sound of chiseling stones was too loud, and decided not to hide his skills anymore. He let the two of them rest beside him, and he first drew lines horizontally and vertically on the boulder with a firewood knife, and then used the internal force of the whole body to cut downward, and the skill was everywhere, the tip of the knife glowed with yellow light, and cut straight into the boulder, several feet deep, and walked back and forth three times to completely cut the boulder.

The two people next to them were already dumbfounded. Their job was to move the three-foot-square stones down the mountain, and then Wang Laohan would transport the jade home in an ox cart. It took a few people three days to move out.

Then they dug a big pit in the open space behind the house and put the jade in it, leaving only seven or eight pieces in the house.

Ye Haotian asked them to cut the jade into smaller pieces and take them to distant cities to sell them to reputable jade shops.

He knew that he couldn't go out without money, so he left three hundred taels of silver tickets for the Wang family to wrap up.

The next afternoon, he left Wang's house and walked to the place where the jade had been mined.

At a glance, the boulder that had been raised high was gone, leaving a three-foot-deep pit.

He stepped on the middle of the pit and paced back and forth a few steps.

Unexpectedly, the psychic jade on his chest turned out to be hot again.

"Strange! Could it be that there is still jade? He walked around, and found that the treasure jade was hot and cold, and the range of heat was relatively limited, no more than three feet in radius.

He saw that the rusty wood knife was still thrown nearby, so he picked it up and tried to dig down. As a result, he dug less than two feet and dug up a three-foot square piece of jade. This piece of jade is different from the previous mining, the whole body is emerald green and transparent, the color is extremely strong, there is no trace of variegation, it is so green that it seems to drip out of jade juice, reflecting the sun and emitting dazzling brilliance!

"This is a jade essence! It is a jade heart! It is extremely rare, a priceless treasure!" Ye Haotian was ecstatic in his heart! He remembered that it was mentioned in the "Overview of the Daozang" that the jade essence can calm the mind and calm the mind, expel the demons in the heart, and make people feel calm. With the help of the jade essence, the cultivator can do more with less. So for cultivators, jade essence can be said to be something coveted!

He carefully put the jade heart into the Qiankun bag. Afraid of crushing the Ganoderma lucidum, he took out the Lingzhi leaves and put them in the small box he got a few days ago.

With the treasure in hand, it's time to travel the world to find the enemy!

However, thinking of the unfathomable skill of the person in the coffin, as well as the bald monk who was in the air, Ye Haotian felt uneasy in his heart: "No! My skill is still far behind, I can't say, I want to go to Qingcheng Mountain, the holy land of Taoism! It is said that Qingcheng Mountain has the most people who cultivate immortals, and there are many masters, if you can visit a famous teacher there and learn the true skills, you will be a little more sure of revenge." ”

Thinking of this, he hurried his horse on the road.

A man and a horse stopped walking in the lie.

He took off the mask he had worn for almost two years and took out the bronze mirror to examine it.

Now his face is white and tender, like a baby born in a month. As a result of taking three pieces of thousand-year-old lingzhi, his body shape has changed a lot, the bones of his whole body have been reintegrated, his originally weak body is much taller and stronger, and even his round face has become square, even if his parents are still afraid, it is difficult to recognize.

In order to darken his complexion, he specially went on the road when Lie Yue was at the head.

Poor the horse under him, foaming at the mouth and panting after walking less than two hundred miles.

On this day, I finally arrived at Qingcheng Mountain.

Qingcheng Mountain is located in the southeast of Dujiangyan, more than 100 miles away from Chengdu. The forest on the mountain is verdant, the peaks and peaks are stacked and green, the shape is like the outline of the city, so it is called Qingcheng.

Qingcheng wins with seclusion, and the danger of Jianmen, the show of Emei, and the hero of Kuimen.

When he arrived at the foot of Qingcheng Mountain, he suddenly felt a little uneasy in his heart: "I went to learn art from a teacher, what if I am forced to become a Taoist priest? If I become a Taoist priest, I am afraid that I will live up to the expectations of my father and grandfather, and I will not be able to continue the incense of the Su family! If I don't become a Taoist priest, it will be difficult to get the guidance of a famous teacher, how can I take revenge?"

He wandered at the foot of the mountain for a long time, and sighed in his heart: "Sad! Why are all the masters in the world monks and Taoist priests? Why are there no Confucian scholars? It's a pity! Although the master's subtle words and righteousness are exquisite, the disciples he has cultivated are all powerless disciples, and this is really a great sorrow of Confucianism! If a saint is also an immortal and has the power to move mountains and seas, how good it would be! I don't have to make it difficult to change the court!

Feeling for a long time, he began to climb slowly up along the dense stone steps mountain road, enjoying the beautiful scenery on the mountain along the way, sometimes leaning down to the deep stream, sometimes climbing the cliff, and soon came to a Taoist temple, and the horizontal plaque on the door reads "Jianfu Palace" three big characters. There is a couplet on both sides of the door: "The stream is rushing, and the hundred rivers go to the east to pass through the thousands of factions; the clouds are ethereal, and the first mountain comes from the west."

The door was open, and a middle-aged Taoist was cleaning up the ashes in the incense burner, and when he saw someone coming, he immediately looked up and asked, "Young man, are you participating in the opening draft?"

Ye Haotian was stunned in his heart: "There is such an opportunity? It just saves me from bumping into each other!" He replied: "It's not early! I'm afraid that I won't be able to catch up if I'm late." ”

The Taoist smiled and said, "It's okay a few days earlier! You come with me. ”

Ye Haotian greeted each other while leading the horse and the Taoist forward.

At the back of Jianfu Palace, there is a row of private houses, which are for people who visit the incense, and there is also a stable. It's like a hotel, and even the guys in charge are not dressed in clothes.

The Taoist smiled and said: "You just stay here, and come to Jianfu Palace on August 15, come at the time of Chen, don't be late." ”

Ye Haotian agreed, and then settled down. There are still three days left, and he can take a good tour of Qingcheng Mountain.

Qingcheng Mountain is revered as the "fifth cave heaven" of Taoism, and there are Taoists who practice here very early. During the Eastern Han Dynasty, Zhang Ling, the "Heavenly Master", came to Qingcheng Mountain, selected the deep and secluded Hanbi of Qingcheng Mountain, preached with Mao, and founded the Qingcheng School. Zhang Ling practiced here for two hundred years and became an immortal. Zhang Lu, the second generation of the head, practiced for four hundred years and became an immortal, and then Zhao County and Zhao Mian, and a total of thirty-five people even and his disciples were enlightened, until the tenth generation of the head Du Guangting was the last person to become an immortal, I don't know why, since then no one in Qingcheng Mountain can ascend to the immortal register. Now there are more than 70 Taoist temples in the whole mountain, more than 1,000 Taoist priests, and the four elders and disciples of the head Qingyang Zhenren live in each Taoist temple.

Qingcheng Mountain is a hundred miles in circumference, divided into two parts: the front mountain and the back mountain. The front mountain takes the Tianshi Cave, the Shangqing Palace as the center, there are 36 peaks, 8 big holes, 72 small holes, 100 and 8 scenic spots, the mountain is majestic, evergreen in four seasons, the peaks surround, the scenery is quiet, it is a combination of male, strange, secluded, dangerous, and godly, and it is famous for "Qingcheng is secluded in the world". The back mountain is centered on Shaping, which is where Taoist priests practice swords.

Ye Haotian walked around along the stone steps, looking all the way. He found that there were many pavilions and pavilions on the mountain, probably because there were Taoist priests cultivating in them, so most of them were listed as forbidden places. So he chose to walk to an inaccessible place, feeling that the treasure jade on his chest became hot from time to time, knowing that this was a holy place for cultivation, and even there were a lot of treasures buried underground.

Since he was new to this place and would be the future teacher, he didn't dare to dig out now.

Even so, when no one was around, he still found three swords, some mountain ginseng and shou wu and the like. He put the sword and the medicinal herbs into the Qiankun Treasure Bag.

※※※

Three days later, in the Mid-Autumn Festival in August, in the morning, the warm sun had just risen, and the quiet Qingcheng Mountain suddenly became lively, and many young people with quick actions came. Everyone gathered outside the gate of Jianfu Palace, waiting for the Qingcheng faction, one of the seven great sword factions, to open the draft. Some of these people were the children of the surrounding peasant families, dressed in coarse cloth and blue, and stood honestly with their hands down, while others came from other places, carrying swords and walking around with extraordinary momentum. Hundreds of people gathered in front of the door, some talking, but many more did not say a word, and everyone's eyes shone with longing. Ye Haotian was also mixed in.

After not waiting long, the gate of Jianfu Palace was opened, and a small Taoist priest invited everyone into the mountain. People followed the little Taoist priest to a wide platform. There was a Taoist man in his fifties standing on the platform.

After everyone stood still, the man spoke: "Welcome to Qingcheng, the poor Dao Law is called 'Qingfeng', and is responsible for receiving everyone." The first thing to say is that the Qingcheng faction opened the draft in order to select the best qualified disciples. Cultivation is very difficult, and everyone's potential is limited, so I hope everyone can be selected, and if it doesn't work, don't take it to heart. Three hundred and sixty lines, the line is the champion, maybe it will be more profitable to take other roads. ”

After a pause, the Taoist continued: "This draft is divided into three levels. The first level is to clear the heart, the second level is to touch the bones, and the third level is to measure the intelligence. Please come with me, and I will explain it to you in detail. ”

After saying that, the Qingfeng Daoist turned around and walked forward, hundreds of people following him. After walking a long way, I came to a wide cave entrance, and the words "Mingxin Cave" were engraved above the cave entrance. Dozens of Taoist priests stood next to them.

Everyone looked at the black hole and wondered.

Qingfeng introduced: "This cave is hundreds of zhang deep, there is no light, but there are some strange things, if you feel that you can't stand it and stand still, someone will bring you back." If you have the ability, you can keep moving forward, there are very few people who can really go to the end, everyone do their best, but don't force it. After speaking, the Qingfeng Daoist took the lead and walked in, everyone followed behind him, followed by the dozens of Taoist priests.

The cave was pitch black, and nothing could be seen, and occasionally there was a phosphorescent glow somewhere, which was also extinguished in a flash. Everyone groped their way forward with the shadows they saw in the phosphorescent light. The phosphorescent light sometimes bursts out of some blue-faced fanged monsters, and sometimes some bloody corpses. Gradually, there was a cold wind in my ears, mixed with a miserable wail, and it seemed that I had stepped on something soft under my feet, as if there was the sound of a python crawling. After only walking more than ten zhang, some people trembled and did not dare to move when they stood still, and some people cried and shouted to ask to go out, and then they were pulled away by Taoist priests.

After walking more than a dozen zhang, everyone came to a bright stone room, which was full of gold and silver, jade and agate, all kinds of treasures, and was brilliant. Many people stopped when they saw it, and some reached out to touch it. Ye Haotian knew that those were just illusions made by Taoist priests, so he was unmoved and continued to walk forward with the breeze. In a moment, however, the light of the stone chamber disappeared completely, and not even a single fluorescence could be seen, and everyone who stopped fell into darkness, unable to find the direction to go, and finally had to be dragged out.

It is more than ten zhang, and the group enters another stone room, the indoor color is hazy, the scene is as real as illusion, or standing or sitting more than ten stunning women, each of them is all demeanor, a smile, and the soul is breathtaking. Not to mention a young man with strong blood, even the old man who is about to die will involuntarily look at it for a long time. Ye Haotian was also a little dazed at this time, so he hurriedly collected his mind and continued to walk forward.

The three levels have passed, and there are less than fifty people left in the team of hundreds of people.

After walking for a while, Ye Haotian suddenly found that the leading Qingfeng Dao people didn't know where to go, and the surroundings were empty, and there was no one to see. In the haze, it seemed to be walking on the boundless wilderness, facing the bloody sun, seeing three or two crows squatting on the bare old trees, screaming non-stop, and the empty field responded to the cold "quack" sound. At this time, his heart was full of desolation, "Where is the twilight township?" "The bitter vine old tree is faint, the sun is setting, and the broken intestine is at the end of the world." Endless sadness welled up in my heart, and the whole person fell into confusion.

He walked forward in a trance, I don't know how far he walked, and suddenly, he felt as if he had returned to Yuelu Mountain, in the shade of green trees, he was taking an ancient poem and reciting, someone ran over in the distance, shouting: "Congratulations, congratulations, you have won the champion!" Seeing his parents come out of the house, holding the candy in their hands and distributing it, a group of children gathered around, competing to grab the candy cubes distributed.

Seeing this, his tears almost flowed out!

When he was in a state of confusion, a cold feeling suddenly came from the psychic jade on his chest, which made him wake up suddenly. When you look closely, you will still be surrounded by dark stone caves. The thought of never seeing his parents who loved him again made his heart feel sad.

He sighed and continued to walk, passing through one dream after another, trying all the emotions of joy, anger, worry, thought, sadness, fear, and surprise several times, and he didn't know how much time had passed, until his eyes suddenly opened up, and he was out of the cave.

When I looked up, I saw that the sky was shining, the sky was clear, the breeze was blowing, and the pine was swaying slightly.

There were several Taoist leaders standing at the entrance of the cave, looking at him intently, their eyes full of surprise. An old man with a gray beard stepped forward, with tears of excitement in his eyes, and pulled Ye Haotian with a trembling hand: "Child, you are the first rookie to pass the Mingxin Cave in three hundred years, come and let me see!"

Ye Haotian was taken aback, and he didn't know if it was a good thing or a bad thing for him to be so prominent.

Lao Dao touched Ye Haotian from head to toe, and the tears in his eyes had condensed into teardrops, and they fell down in a slump: "God, I finally waited for this day!" Looking at Ye Haotian's puzzled gaze, Lao Dao pulled him forward a few steps: "Come here, child, come here." ”

Ye Haotian looked in the direction of his finger, and carved these lines on the stone wall at the exit of Mingxin Cave, "Jindan Avenue, Penglai Immortal, Mingxin Surname, Qingcheng Re-Xing".

Lao Dao explained in a trembling voice: "This was engraved by Du Guangting, the tenth generation head of this sect, before he became an immortal, and he also left a sentence at that time: 'A person who passes through the Mingxin Cave once and has golden bones, water and flesh will be the hope for the revival of Qingcheng Mountain. 'Three hundred years, you are the first! Your bones are as tough as golden stones, and your muscles are as soft as green water, which is completely in line with what your ancestor said! The future of Qingcheng Mountain depends on you. ”

Ye Haotian couldn't help but feel sad in his heart: "The immortals have already expected today, can it be said that I was born to be a Taoist priest?"

"Let's go, follow me to meet the master!" Lao Dao couldn't help but say, taking Ye Haotian's hand and walking forward.

The group zigzagged and walked through the meal scene and came to a large hall with a horizontal plaque that read "Shangqing Palace".

Without notice, Ye Haotian followed the old road and walked in, passing through the main hall, which was a pavilion built by the mountain, and two old men were playing a game in the pavilion. One has a white chest, and the other has a white beard, both of them are in good spirits and have a childish face. Ye Haotian stopped with the old way, and when he looked down, he saw the old man with the long beard holding the black spot, with a leisurely expression on his face, and then looked at the game of chess, the black chess had taken the advantage, and there was no need for the old man to frown, and he was thinking hard about how to crack it, Ye Haotian looked at it for a while, and found that although the white chess had been surrounded by water, there was no need for the old man to refuse to admit defeat, and he still held the chess pieces, and he couldn't play for a long time. After thinking for a moment, he suddenly pointed to the chessboard and said, "Immortal Chief, there is still a space here." ”

There is no need for the old man to lose anxiously, and he blames this kid for being too talkative in his heart, but if he takes a closer look, the space is the only way to survive in death, and he is ecstatic in his heart at the moment, and he still pretends to be groaning on the surface, and it took a long time to put the chess pieces in the empty grid that Ye Haotian pointed to.

The long-bearded old man was slightly taken aback, pondered for a moment, and also caught a son, but the son who did not need the old man's talent to play was indeed a chess method.

The old man was so happy that he couldn't keep his mouth shut, and said with a smile: "Senior brother, I said that I have made great progress in chess recently, but you don't believe it, but what about today? ”

The long-bearded old man smiled slightly, then glanced at Ye Haotian deeply, then looked at the few people standing next to him, and asked, "Changkong, is there something wrong?"

The old man who led Ye Haotian in replied: "Master, I am very happy! Someone has passed the Mingxin Cave!!" and then pointed at Ye Haotian: "This is the person! The bones and muscles have also been completely fulfilled!"

The long-bearded old man was taken aback, looked up and down at Ye Haotian with the divine light in his eyes, and spoke for a long time before he spoke: "Okay! Okay! Qingcheng's bad luck has finally come to an end! Child, where are you from? Who else is there at home?"

Ye Haotian bowed down and replied: "Li Hao, a native of Shaanxi, his parents are dead, and he has no family."

The head of the long beard Daoist was extremely relieved and said: "Poor Dao Xi is the head of Qingcheng, and he calls himself 'Qingyang'. If you can pass the three levels of clear heart, bone touching and wisdom measurement in one fell swoop, it can be seen that your qualifications are extraordinary, so you will be my disciple in the future. He pointed to the old man and said, "This is your uncle Chiyang Zhenren." ”

Ye Haotian hurriedly stepped forward to salute.

Chiyang Zhenren praised repeatedly: "Good material and beautiful quality, very rare! Just rush this smart, I like it!"

Qingyang Zhenren turned his head and instructed Changkong Dao Chief: "You take your junior brother to arrange it, you can't publicize the matter of Mingxin Cave, you know?"

The head of the long sky road nodded yes.

Ye Haotian was arranged next door to him by the head of the Changkong Dao, which was one of more than twenty bungalows connected in a row.

Changkong introduced: "The people who live here are all disciples of the second and third generations, the oldest is one hundred and forty years old, and the youngest is sixty years old, how old are you?"

"Twenty years old, what about you, senior brother?"

"I'm over eighty years old, alas, the cultivation path is difficult, the progress is slow, what can I do?" Changkong sighed: "Senior brother is the youngest second-generation disciple, and his good life is enviable!"

"Senior brother looks like he is sixty years old at most. How long has the master lived?" Ye Haotian asked again.

"He was said to be two hundred and seventy years old. Changkong replied in a low voice, "Senior brother is the hope of Qingcheng, the master is very important to you, you have to work hard." ”

※※※

On August 20, Huang Daoji said, the head of the sect, Qingyang Zhenren, summoned the four elders Chiyang Zhenren, Shaoyang Zhenren, Sanyang Zhenren, Mingyang Zhenren and more than 20 elder disciples to come to the Heavenly Master Cave. The Heavenly Master Cave is the place where the patriarch of the Qingcheng faction opened the mountain to preach, and now it has become the center of the elders of the Qingcheng faction.

"Fellow Daoists, I invite you to come here today to witness the recruitment of closed disciples by the Poor Dao, and I would like to ask for a lot of support in the future. Qingyang Zhenren loudly announced the door rules, instructed Ye Haotian to kneel and knock on the statue of the Sanqing Holy Statue, the statue of the patriarch Zhang Tianshi, and then the elders, and finally said: "From now on, your Taoist name is 'Changle', I hope you will cultivate the Dao diligently, accumulate merits, and carry forward the Qingcheng lineage." ”

Ye Haotian is the only one who should be.

Everyone stepped forward to congratulate.

After everyone left, Qingyang Zhenren called Ye Haotian to his cultivation Danfang and asked him what his cultivation foundation was. Ye Haotian did not hide it, and told the master that he had taken a thousand-year-old Ganoderma lucidum, and that his current kung fu of refining and refining qi had been completed, and he hoped that the master would give him instructions on further cultivation and how to practice Qingcheng swordsmanship.

Qingyang Zhenren was surprised and delighted, and carefully inquired about Ye Haotian's practice feelings, and then said: "From your body, it can be seen that you have taken the elixir fairy grass, you have sufficient qi, and the alchemy foundation is very strong, which saves a lot of time for future cultivation, which is very rare." You must know that you only cultivated to this point when you were sixty years old. ”

Ye Haotian didn't know where he had come.

Qingyang Zhenren explained: "The Taoist thirty-six heavens are divided into six realms. The six heavens of the first realm are Emperor Huang Zengtian, Taiming Yuwantian, Qingming He Tongtian, Xuanti Pingyutian, Yuan Ming Wenjutian, and Qiyao Moyi Heaven. The eighteen heavens of the second realm are Wuyue Hengtian, Taiji Mengpingtian, Chiming and Yangtian, Xuanming Gonghuatian, Yaomingzong Piaotian, Zhuluo Huangjitian, Xumingtang Yaotian, Guanming Duanjingtian, Xuanming Gongqingtian, Taihuan Ji Yaotian, Yuan Zaikong Shengtian, Tai'an Huangyatian, Xianding Jifeng Tian, Shihuang Xiaomangtian, Taihuang Weng Chongtian, Wusi Jiang Youtian, Shangyu Ruan Letian, and Wuji Tan Oath Tian. The four heavens of the third realm are Haoting Xiaodutian, Yuantongyuan Dongtian, Hanpet Miaochengtian, and Xiule Forbidden Heaven. The fourth realm is the four Brahma heavens, which are the supreme constant melting heaven, the jade dragon Tengsheng heaven, the dragon transformation Brahma Du heaven, and the Pingyu Jia Yitian, the fifth level is the three clear heavens, which are the Yuqing heaven, the Shangqing heaven, and the Taiqing heaven, and the highest realm is the Great Luo Heaven of the sixth realm. At present, you have cultivated to the second level of the first realm, the Taiming Jade Completion Heaven, and you still need to continue to refine the cultivation of Qi Transformation God. ”

Ye Haotian had already seen those names in "Daozang", so he didn't feel strange, but he was not very satisfied with his entry, and he could even be said to be a little deflated. He thought about what Qingyang Zhenren said and asked, "Master, what does it mean to become an immortal?"

Qingyang Zhenren explained: "The lifespan of a person is limited, and the lifespan of a cultivator can be extended with the increase of skill. The first realm belongs to the basic stage of cultivating immortals, and can only be counted as a spirit person, with a lifespan of up to three hundred years. The second realm is called the real person, and the lifespan can reach 800 years. Immortals can only be called immortals when they reach the third realm, and immortals can live for thousands of years, and the so-called 'attainment of the Tao and ascension' must at least reach the third realm. The lifespan of immortals is also limited, and it is inevitable to encounter three disasters and nine tribulations, a thousand-year catastrophe, and escape for thousands of years, but they can't escape the destruction of form and god. The Fourth Realm can be called a god-man, and a god-man can live for hundreds of thousands of years, although there is no heavenly calamity, the life span can still be expected. Even if it is the Sanqing Heavenly God, it is just that the life span is longer, or there are some conveniences when returning to reincarnation. As for 'longevity and longevity with heaven and earth', it will be until Da Luo Tiancai. As a teacher, he has just reached the seventh level of the real human realm, the Void Ming Hall Yaotian, and there are still eleven heavens from the immortal realm, which is really frightening, and the road is far away. ”

Ye Haotian was excited when he heard this, and asked, "Master, I heard that there were many people who became immortals in Qingcheng Mountain before, right?"

Qingyang Zhenren's face showed a helpless expression, and he said in a low tone: "Before the tenth generation head Du Guangting ascended, he said that he had reached the third realm Yuantongyuan Cave Heaven, he was the last immortal of Qingcheng Mountain, and no one had reached the immortal realm after that. ”

Ye Haotian felt strange and asked, "Why? I don't think it will be a matter of qualifications." Over the past three hundred years, there must have been many disciples with excellent qualifications. Is it because the Dao Fa has been lost? Or is it because the treasures needed for cultivation are hard to find?"

Qingyang Zhenren looked at him, his eyes showed appreciation, and said: "The Dao Law has not been lost, what is lost is a Beihai Xuanyu, which was found by Zhang Tianshi in Beihai with great difficulty, and dozens of immortals were created, and they were lost in the hands of the eleventh generation master. That piece of Xuanyu is two feet square and one inch thick, and it can save twice as much time as sitting and practicing, it takes a thousand years for ordinary people to cultivate to the immortal realm, it only takes four hundred years to have Xuanyu, and even two hundred years for disciples with excellent qualifications. Speaking of this, Qingyang Zhenren's eyes were full of longing, and he sighed: "Since the loss of Xuanyu, the cultivation path has become extremely difficult, and it has been too much hardship for the teacher to reach this step, and the future is even more worrying. You must know that if you cultivate to the real human world, you can only live for 800 years. If you fail to cultivate to the Immortal Realm by then, you must be reincarnated and your previous efforts will be wasted!

Ye Haotian hesitated: "Maybe I can find a good jade." ”

Qingyang Zhenren didn't care, and replied casually: "Then dare to ask for it, but it's not easy." Up and down Qingcheng, thousands of Taoist priests searched for hundreds of years, but they couldn't find a satisfactory treasure jade. Because the requirements for the jade jade used in Xiuzhen are extremely high, there can be no flaws, and there will be a catastrophe if there is a trace of variegation. This kind of jade should be one foot square and one inch thick, which is difficult! It is extremely rare for a good jade to be three inches in size. There are many mottled and impure jade in the world, and it is even more difficult to find jade without variegation than to ascend to the sky!"

Ye Haotian no longer answered, and asked instead: "Master, what is a heavenly immortal, an earth immortal, and an autopsy immortal?"

Qingyang Zhenren replied: "Go with the flow, and the power is said to be a heavenly immortal; hidden in the valley and mountain forest, subtly become an earth immortal; after the military liberation, the body is destroyed, and the Yuan Ying cultivates into a corpse dismantling immortal, also known as the scattered immortal." Among the three, the heavenly immortals are the top, the earth immortals are in the middle, and the autopsy immortals are the lowest. ”

Then Qingyang Zhenren pointed out a few more words of practice and told him to go back to practice.

Back at the residence, Ye Haotian took out the three-foot square jade heart from the Qiankun Treasure Bag, and cut off two pieces with the sword movement according to the size described by the master, each two inches thick and two feet square. The remaining chunks are still in the bag. Then he took a piece of jade heart to practice, and felt that it was really good, and it was easier to restrain his mind than his usual cultivation.

After breakfast the next day, he and his disciples went to the Heavenly Master Cave to listen to the scriptures. Today's lecture is Qingcheng Elder Chiyang Zhenren, and the content of the talk is the cultivation of Waidan. The head and all the disciples were there, and more than a thousand people were silent. Ye Haotian listened attentively and kept it in mind.

The lecture ended in less than an hour.

Ye Haotian saw the master walking out, and hurriedly walked over, saying that he wanted to ask questions.

Qingyang Zhenren was very happy that he could study diligently, and hurriedly led him to the Danfang where he practiced.

As soon as he entered the door, Ye Haotian took out the two jade hearts that had been prepared for a long time.

Qingyang Zhenren froze after just one look, and the hand holding the jade heart trembled!

After carefully inspecting it for a long time, the more he looked at it, the more excited he became, his old face was swollen red, and finally he couldn't help but exclaim: "Oh my God, this is really a jade essence!"

"Is this thing useful?" Ye Haotian couldn't tell which jade essence was more effective than Beihai Xuanyu.

"It's so useful, this is a priceless treasure!Quick, go and invite the four elders to come!" Qingyang Zhenren hurriedly ordered Tong Mingyue, and Mingyue ran away.

"The jade essence is better than the Beihai Xuanyu, you look at this color, the whole body is crystal clear, there is not a trace of variegation, this is the coveted jade! And there are as many as two pieces at once, it is really a thousand joys! With these two pieces of jade essence, the flying immortals can be expected! The cultivation of ordinary people can be shortened to two hundred years. As a teacher, there are still ten layers to reach the third level, and with the jade essence, it will probably not take thirty years!"

While he was talking, the four elders arrived. Everyone looked at the jade spirit and was so excited that they couldn't speak. After a long time, Chiyang Zhenren said: "Senior brother, with a jade heart, I can cultivate to the immortal realm as long as I have a good time!"

Shaoyang Zhenren was the most happy, and said with tears in his eyes: "In the past three years, I have worked hard and made no progress, and now I finally have hope again." Changle has made a great contribution to the Qingcheng faction, and I hope that the head of the sect will give a heavy reward!"

The head Qingyang Zhenren said with a smile: "The reward is naturally inevitable, I will not treat the disciples badly!" Then his face turned pale, and he said solemnly: "This matter is not to be publicized, I will leave a piece of jade essence for myself, and the four of you will use another piece alternately, you must protect it carefully, and you must not lose it!"

The four elders looked at it again and again, wrapped one of them in a Taoist robe several times, turned around and walked out, and when they went out, they told Ye Haotian one by one: "You have made meritorious contributions to Qingcheng Mountain, we should teach each other." If you have any questions in the future, please come to us. ”

Ye Haotian seized the opportunity to say to Chiyang Zhenren: "Uncle Shi talked about the cultivation of Wai Dan today, and the disciple still has something to understand, and I hope to listen to your old teachings again." ”

Chiyang is really humane: "It's easy to say. Every time I say that I am in the interval of practice, you can come directly, and you don't need to report it. ”

Before leaving, Ye Haotian found that his master Qingyang Zhenren was still holding the jade heart in a daze, with a look of joy and sadness on his face, as if he had seen a lover who had been separated for many years at first glance.

※※※

The next time, Ye Haotian came to Chaoyang Cave, where Chiyang Zhenren cultivated. Chiyang Zhenren had just finished practicing, and he was very happy to see him, and shouted, "Come, come, come in and sit!"

Ye Haotian went in and sat down, and said, "Senior Uncle, yesterday you talked about the cultivation of the Wai Dan, I felt very good when I heard it, but I don't know what benefits the cultivation of the Wai Dan has for the cultivation of the Dao?"

Chiyang Zhenren replied: "Alchemy pays attention to the complementarity between inside and outside. When you reach different stages of cultivation, you should take appropriate pills, which can make your cultivation twice as effective with half the effort. If you can find rare and exotic plants, you may be able to reach the sky in one step. As he spoke, he took out a yellowed old book from under the box and said, "This is the result of hundreds of years of hard work by my master." My master is Master Naidandao and holds Pu Sheng......"

"Hug Pusheng?" Ye Haotian couldn't help but exclaim. He remembered the pill that his grandfather gave him, the Dragon and Tiger Life Renewal Pill was given by Bao Pusheng, and he was able to live thanks to him. I didn't expect that Bao Pusheng turned out to be the elder of the Qingcheng faction, it seems that he is really related to the Qingcheng faction!

Chiyang Zhenren glanced at Ye Haotian and asked, "What's the matter?" do you know my master?"

"No, no, I'm very familiar with this name, I heard that a long time ago, there was a Dan Dao master 'hugging Puzi', and the name of Uncle Shi was very similar to him. Ye Haotian said hurriedly.

"Yes, my teacher realized that the cultivation of pills exceeded 'hugging Puzi', so he named himself 'hugging Pusheng'. Chiyang Zhenren continued: "This book is his book, and it contains my new annotations. You can take it and see it. Alchemy is easy, good medicine is hard to find, senior brother said that you have cultivated to the second level of the first realm, I still have something here that you may be useful. After speaking, he poured out ten golden pills from a purple red gourd, shook the gourd again, and found that there were not many more, so he simply handed the gourd to Ye Haotian: "This is a furnace of 'Returning Divine Pill' that I searched all over the country fifty years ago, collected medicinal materials, and refined it, and now there are fifteen grains, all of which are given to you." One can cultivate fifteen years of internal qi, and if you have enough internal qi, you will soon be able to complete the kung fu of refining qi and transforming gods. If the internal qi is insufficient, the internal qi must be cultivated first. Do not overdose at one time, then the internal qi of the whole body will be transformed into the essence of the gods, the internal qi will be exhausted, the limbs will be paralyzed, and you will go crazy. This pill only has the power of transformation, and has no effect of replenishing the gods, so remember it. ”

Ye Haotian took the book of Dan and thanked him in every way. Back at the residence, it was late at night. He took out a large piece of jade heart, sat cross-legged, and then poured out a pill from the gourd, put it in his mouth and meditated and practiced. After a while, the mist in the dantian was steaming, and it went straight up to the Mud Pill Palace, and after arriving at the Mud Pill Palace, it circled for a long time, gradually condensed, and turned into a drop of divine essence, which was stored in the sea of marrow. It took a long time for the dantian to calm down. At this time, he felt that the true qi that had been drumming up in the dantian had become a little empty, but his brain marrow had become very full, and even his senses were much sharper.

Ye Haotian knew that he had more than a hundred years of internal qi, so he was not afraid that his internal qi would run out, so he took another pill to restore the gods. After exercising, I felt that my brain was filled with a lot, like a stream turning into a lake, and the waves were undulating.

After taking five Divine Pills in a row, the essence of the gods in the Mud Pill Palace gradually turned into a human form, the size of a fist, the primordial spirit was first formed, and the eyebrows were not clear enough, but the internal qi of the dantian had been reduced by half.

At this time, the rooster crows at the beginning, and the east becomes white. He paused for a while, but he didn't know that overnight, his skill had advanced from the second level of the first realm to the fourth level of the first realm, the "Xuanti Ping Yutian".

※※※

In the morning, Ye Haotian followed everyone to the Heavenly Master Cave and listened to Shaoyang's real person talk about "Fu Gong".

Shaoyang Zhenren gave a general discussion of Fu Zong: "Fu Gong is the combined name of Fu and Gong. Fu refers to the symbol and figure written on yellow paper and silk, which resembles words but not words, and seems to be a picture but not a picture; Taoism claims that the talisman is the text of the gods, and it is a talisman letter that conveys the will of the gods, and it can be used to summon the gods to scare ghosts, subdue demons and suppress demons, and cure diseases and disasters. The style of the talisman is strange. It can be summarized into four main categories. The first type is called 'compound text', which is mostly composed of two or more small characters, and a few are formed by the combination of multiple horizontal and vertical twisted strokes. The second type is called 'cloud seals', which are said to be the heavenly books of the heavenly gods, which are actually talismans that imitate the changing shape of the clouds in the sky or the body of the ancient seal. The third category is called 'spirit runes, treasure runes', which are more complex circles and lines. This is the most numerous and widely used type of talisman. In addition to the bending strokes, there are often some Chinese characters, such as 曰, 月, 星, 敕令 and other words. The fourth type is called 'rune', which is a kind of talisman that combines the image of the god with the rune. ”

"Taoism attaches great importance to the writing method of the talisman, drawing the talisman does not know the trick, but provokes the ghosts and gods to laugh; When drawing symbols, you must be sincere. Sincerity is spiritual, insincerity is ineffective. The charm, yin and yang are in line with it, only the most sincere people in the world can use it, and the sincerity is not enough, and it is naturally not effective. Therefore, it is said that the essence of heaven and earth is combined with the essence of all things, and the spirit of mine is combined with the god of all things in heaven and earth. The essence is attached to each other, and the gods and gods depend on each other, so the fake size paper calls on the ghosts and gods, and the ghosts and gods have to be right. ”

Ye Haotian listened to it with relish, but he felt that there were still shortcomings. At the end of the lecture, the crowd dispersed, and he followed behind Shaoyang Zhenren and asked about the details of writing the spirit rune.

Shaoyang Zhenren invited him to the "Shangqing Palace", asked him to sit down, and then said: "There is a key point in the talisman, that is, the luck of the talisman, which requires the calligrapher to usually have internal refining skills, and the talisman is issued to the end of the pen when the talisman is issued, so that the essence is attached to the talisman. 'With the essence of the Tao, the simple ink of the cloth, and the essence of things. ''Fu Zhu Mo'er, how can he be spiritual, and he who is spiritual, my true qi is also.'' Therefore, it is said that there is no positive shape in the talisman, and it is spiritual. 'The talisman is only a form, and what works is the essence attached to it. ”

Ye Haotian suddenly felt a brightness in front of him, and then asked: "There are many talisman patterns, how to prescribe the right medicine and choose the most effective talisman?"

Shaoyang Zhenren took out a booklet that was not too thick from under the futon of meditation, handed it to Ye Haotian, and said: "Because you have made great contributions to Qingcheng, I will give you this book, here is the method passed down by the ancestors, and there is also a summary of my own years of experience, you take it to see, if there is anything you don't understand, come back and ask me." ”

Ye Haotian didn't expect to get so much, he couldn't help but thank Shaoyang Zhenren again and again, and turned around and left happily.

After lunch, Ye Haotian took out the talisman book, studied it attentively, and it only took half an hour to memorize all kinds of talisman diagrams by heart. As a result of his improved skills, he found that his memory had also improved a lot.

Then he took out the Waidan scroll handed down by Chiyang Zhenren and read it from the beginning.

There are corresponding pills in the Dan Book for the cultivation of each step of the exercise. For example, refining and refining qi has the "replenishing and benefiting qi pill"; refining the qi and transforming the god has the "returning the god pill", refining the god and returning the void has the "entering the void pill", the original spirit out of the body has the "guiding god pill", the crossing tribulation has the "extinguishing pill", and the ascension has the "ascending elixir". It's all there. The formula refining method of each elixir is recorded, and the medicinal materials required are strange and very rare. No wonder Chiyang Zhenren sighed that "Dan is easy to refine, but medicine is hard to find", and even the simplest tonifying and qi-nourishing pill is difficult for ordinary people to match.

It took Ye Haotian an hour to memorize the medicines, prescriptions, and alchemy methods in his heart. He decided that he must find all these medicinal materials when he has time, and then refine them into pills.

The prospect seemed wonderful, and he was so happy to think about it that he immediately put two books in his bag.

At night, he took out the jade heart and continued to practice. First of all, I took three pieces of Ganoderma lucidum, and after a while, I felt that the dantian was full of internal qi again, and then I took a few pills to return to the gods, and meditated to refine the qi and transform the gods, but Jue Yuanshen gradually grew up, from the size of a fist to a foot, and his eyebrows were clear, exactly the same as himself. He obviously felt that his skills had grown a lot, and it was very likely that he had reached the seventh layer of the first realm, which was the last layer of the "Seven Yao Mo Yi Heavens".

※※※

Half a month has passed in the blink of an eye. On this day, Ye Haotian came to the Heavenly Master Cave to meet the master.

Qingyang Zhenren was taken aback when he saw him, and said: "Your face is now as crystal clear as jade, your mind is clear, and your eyes are shining, it seems that you have entered the second realm, that is, the 'real world'!"

Ye Haotian truthfully told his feelings about practice.

Qingyang Zhenren sighed when he heard this, "It took me a hundred and eighty years to cultivate to your point back then, but you did it at a young age! You are naïve enough to play tricks on people!" and then began to carefully guide the method of cultivation: "From today onwards, you can cultivate the Yuan Shen Out of the Body Body." At first, you should be cautious and not let the original spirit go too far, and if there is a danger, you should immediately take it back. When the Yuan Shen is big enough to be the size of the same body, you can start to practice the practice of refining the gods and returning the void. If you have achieved great achievements, you can soar and enter the 'Immortal Realm'. ”

Ye Haotian didn't want to be a Taoist priest on the mountain for the rest of his life, so he tried to say: "Master, the disciple wants to go down the mountain in a few days and find some elixir by the way...... Maybe it will help you cultivate ......"

Qingyang Zhenren refused: "Don't worry, Qingcheng Dao is as vast as a sea of smoke, you have to learn all before you can go down the mountain, although you are talented, you have to study for ten years and eight years." Come, I'll pass on your Qingcheng swordsmanship first, that's the signature of this sect, if you don't know how to make it, you can't be a disciple of Qingcheng. As he spoke, he walked into the courtyard and demonstrated the seventy-two Qingcheng swordsmanship.

"Ten years and eight years, isn't it too long?" Ye Haotian smiled bitterly in his heart as he lifted the wooden sword to learn swordsmanship.

Qingyang Zhenren saw that he had learned like him, so he couldn't help but nod secretly, and then helped him correct a few movements, and said, "Go back and practice a few more times, and pass on your Qingcheng Thirteen Swords tomorrow." Then it is not an ordinary swordsmanship, but a fairy sword that only people in the real world can learn, the sword flies, and the head of a person is taken ten miles away. ”

Ye Haotian raised his spirit and carefully practiced the seventy-two Qingcheng swordsmanship more than a dozen times, and every time he practiced it, he had a new feeling, and it seemed that some moves could be used continuously. After five times, he took the swordsmanship apart and combined them at will, and found that he could form an infinite number of different variations. After ten times, he was already proficient.

By the time he was finished, it was already too late.

It was still early in dark, so he decided to go around the Qingcheng Mountain and carefully appreciate the beautiful scenery of the Cave Heaven Blessed Land.

Walking in the mountains, he often felt the Tongling Jade on his chest heat up from time to time. When he had a fever, he stopped to take a closer look, looking for the treasure that caused Baoyu's fever. Slowly, he found that if he was lucky enough to be in the position of Baoyu on his chest, Baoyu would be able to detect the treasures in the vicinity of dozens of zhang, and if he retracted his strength, Baoyu could only detect a range of about three feet under his feet.

Finding this, he was very happy in his heart, so he ran around with all his skills, and trampled Qingcheng Mountain, and found a lot of flying swords, antiques, and in a cave covered with cobweb dust, he found a red jade slip, which was engraved with two or three hundred ancient seal characters, but unfortunately it was very incomplete, and I didn't know what it said.

In addition, he also found a hot place on the hill outside the Jianfu Palace that made Baoyu hot. There is a piece of Guanyin bamboo, the bamboo forest is not very big, the bamboo is thick and thin, the big one is thick over the mouth of the bowl, the small one is as thin as a finger, it seems to be chaotic, but it is orderly. He walked in the direction guided by Baoyu, and he couldn't walk through it when he folded back and forth under his feet, as if the arrangement of the bamboo forest was a formation.

Ye Haotian had read thousands of ancient books, and it was difficult for ordinary formations to trap him, but the small bamboo forest in front of him stumped him.

He looked at the bamboo forest and thought for a long time. Thinking that the Guanyin bamboo grows slowly, and it will only take more than 2,000 years to grow to the thickness of the bowl, I counted it carefully and found that there are a total of one hundred and nine bamboos with the thickness of the bowl, and the rest are probably derived later. He looked at the one hundred and nine bamboos in his eyes, and felt that it was a pre-Qin ancient formation with eight doors and nine stars, and it seemed to be a three-odd and six-instrument array, only one bamboo was particularly eye-catching, and it seemed that it could be solved in the back if it was removed.

Ye Haotian thought about it for a long time, and after being sure, he stepped forward and waved his sword to cut the bamboo, Guanyin bamboo was extremely tough, he used his strength, and it took more than ten times to cut it, and there was no problem with cutting jade with that skill, but I really couldn't imagine that cutting bamboo was so hard.

After removing that Guanyin bamboo, what was left was indeed a mixed formation of the Eight Gates and Nine Star Array and the Three Qi and Six Yi Formations. While calculating the direction, he carefully walked in step by step, and in a short distance of ten zhang, he actually walked a meal, and finally came to the place guided by Tongling Baoyu. It is an ancient mound, there is a stone tablet in front, the stone tablet is engraved: "Guiguzi clothes crown mound", the inscription records, when Guiguzi soared, only the clothes were left, and he was buried in the tomb.

Ye Haotian walked around the ancient tomb a few times, and found that the place where the Tongling Jade was guiding was not inside the ancient tomb, but three feet behind the ancient tomb. He swung his sword and dug down, and two feet below came across a thick bluestone, and when he moved the bluestone, it was a dark hole, and I don't know how big it was.

He took out the flint and leaned down with a torch. The cave is not stuffy, about the size of two rooms, and the roof of the cave is inlaid with three night pearls, reflecting the light of the torches to all corners, and the room is bright.

Ye Haotian walked around the cave and found that what made Tongling Baoyu warm up was a stone box. Carefully opened the stone box, and there was a piece of parchment inside, which read: "Yu Dao Guiguzi, eight hundred years of practice, dozens of disciples. In his later years, he lived in seclusion in Qingcheng and realized the way of heaven. The ascension is imminent, there is nothing else to worry about, only the remaining Qimen formation is engraved on the jade slip, and the yin and yang treasure mirror is attached, which can be seen in both yin and yang. Outside this room, there are eight doors and nine star arrays and three strange and six yi arrays to guard, those who break these two arrays, must belong to extraordinary people, enter my door, for my disciples, can pass on the two treasures. ”

Behind the parchment is a palm-sized jade slip, densely engraved with tens of thousands of characters. Below is a palm-sized copper realm, which is a little heavy in the hand. Ye Haotian put the entire stone box in the Qiankun bag, and even took down the three night pearls inlaid on the top of the cave, and it was already dark when he walked out of the ancient cave.

At night, he continued to practice the kung fu of refining qi and transforming gods, first taking two leaves of Lingzhi and three pills of returning gods, and then sat down to practice. His skills progressed rapidly, and in the middle of the night, the Yuan Shen grew from a foot in size to about three feet, and he could fly around the courtyard. He remembered the words of his master and didn't dare to let the Yuan Shen fly too far. At this time, he had undoubtedly entered the real human realm that others had taken two hundred years to reach.

Not long after, the sky was bright again, and Ye Haotian came to the Heavenly Master Cave.

Qingyang Zhenren was already standing at the door, handing him a sword, and then began to pass on the thirteen swords of Qingcheng. Ye Haotian felt that today's swordsmanship was extremely complicated, so he barely remembered it until his master practiced it three times. Qingyang Zhenren instructed him a few words and asked him to continue practicing.

Ye Haotian practiced seven or eight times, and gradually became familiar, he used his internal force to inject into the sword, and the sword actually came out of his hand and flew in the air on its own, showing one style of swordsmanship after another with his thoughts. But seeing the sword light in the courtyard, under the sunlight, the eyes of Dao Tong Mingyue couldn't be opened.

Qingyang Zhenren stood not far away and muttered: "If you have to be like this, what more can you ask for?"

Before the words fell, he suddenly saw the dark clouds rolling in the sky, the electric light looming between the clouds, and the rumbling sound was endless, the real person couldn't help but tremble in his heart, pinched his fingers for a long time, and called Ye Haotian to say: "You have refined the fairy sword, you can go down the mountain earlier!"

"Go down the mountain, why did the master change his mind, didn't it take ten or eight years?" Ye Haotian was taken aback.

Qingyang Zhenren turned around and entered the Heavenly Master Cave, and after a short time, he walked out again, handed a thick scripture book to his hand, and said with a solemn face: "Qingcheng Taoism is here, you are talented and intelligent, very comparable, just take it and think it yourself." Taoist cultivation, no formality, no place, peace with what happens, you can go wherever you like, you can make your own decisions. ”

Ye Haotian took the brocade box suspiciously, and said in his heart: "The order has changed, what's wrong with the master?"

At this moment, Qingyang Zhenren's face was very heavy, and he seemed to have a very heavy heart, and said, "Before leaving, draw a spiritual talisman for the teacher." As he spoke, he stepped on Tiangang Beidou, stretched out his finger and drew a talisman on Ye Haotian's body out of thin air, and in an instant, Ye Haotian was shrouded in a layer of golden light.

After finishing the drawing, he looked back and forth, nodded and said: "This spirit rune can protect you three times in a critical moment, as long as the opponent's skill does not exceed that of the teacher, you will be unscathed, if the opponent's skill is too strong, you must also break the spirit rune before it hurts you." Speaking of this, he glanced up at the undulating dark clouds on the horizon, and with a worried look on his face, he admonished: "When you go out, be careful in everything. It's better to travel outside for a few more years and don't have to rush back!"

Following the eyes of Qingyang Zhenren, Ye Haotian also saw the haze in the sky, and couldn't help but feel a shock in his heart, and faintly understood the master's painstaking efforts. It seems that even Qingcheng Mountain, a Taoist holy land that has lasted for thousands of years, is about to face a severe test, but I don't know how long this * will last, and I don't know who the people are coming, and whether those people will be related to the people in the coffin of the Su family's annihilation?

He knew that his skills were too low, and he couldn't help even if he wanted to, so he solemnly kowtowed three times to the master, and then went down the mountain.

Walking on the road, his heart was very heavy: "At the time of the Sufu catastrophe, I was still a powerless teenager, and I could only watch my parents die tragically; now that my teacher is in trouble, my skills are still too poor, so I can only choose to escape again! Why do I always run away from the wind? Could it be that I am a coward by nature?"

As he walked, he shook his head vigorously: "No, I'm not a coward! I'm a dragon hiding under the water! I can only try my best to endure before my skills are strong enough! I can't face a strong enemy, so I have to find another way to do my part to exterminate the demons." ”
