Chapter 16: The shadow is scattered, the wine is cold, and there are few people

In the past few days, the Taishang Daode Palace has been very lively, the big test is skilled, the real person preaches, and I am very busy.

This time, the old man who lived in the sky and the sea in the clouds went up the mountain to challenge, and the momentum was violent, and the three disciples under the door were all unfathomable and talented, which made the righteous guests breathtaking. However, as soon as the big exam started, the old man Tianhai hurried down the mountain, and he was really a little angry. Seeing this scene, the result of this open and secret battle between Yunzhongju and Daodaozong, everyone understands it, and naturally knows it.

As a result, the flattery heard by the Tao Te Sect up and down has multiplied since the day the old man Tianhai left.

There was a lot of noise on that side, and this place was as quiet as ever.

In these days, Ji Ruochen studied hard all day long, staying at home, and did not know the migration of the sun and the moon. On this day, he occasionally saw the snow falling outside the window, and he felt something, only to know that another month had passed.

Ji Ruochen walked out of the house in his clothes and paced in the courtyard, letting the pieces of flying jade pile up on his shoulders. At this moment, he finally let his thoughts be a little free, so he remembered the chaotic five days, and remembered the plain clothes.

He was in a mood, he really didn't know how to get along with her in the future, and when he got to it, he only had the sentence "A seven-foot man, there should be ten swings and ten decisions", which was endless.

He stopped suddenly, and a warm blood surged into his heart in an instant, so he broke off his breath, and his voice was like thunder! In the courtyard, the ancient trees twist and turn, the strange stones are flying, the green grass is like grass, the waves are sparkling, and there is no snow in an instant.

The heavy drink has been extinct, the remaining thunder is still going back and forth, and the snow in the sky is condensed, and then it has fallen.

Bang Bang Bang!

A burst of crisp applause came from outside the courtyard, and then Yun Fengdao pushed the door in, and praised: "Han Feng is not exposed, its power is revealed! ”

Ji Ruochen hurriedly saluted and said: "Senior Brother Yunfeng is too humble, I don't know what is the important thing for Senior Brother to visit?"

Yunfeng Dao Chang smiled and said, "I came to find you, there is indeed something. You pack up and follow me to the Taishang Daode Palace, a few real people have important things to order. ”

Ji Ruochen changed his clothes and hurried away with the head of Yunfeng Dao.

Hearing that in the Song Pavilion, the eight real people had already arrived, as if they were waiting for him alone, and such a battle immediately surprised Ji Ruochen slightly.

"Go down the mountain?" Ji Ruochen was stunned immediately after listening to Ziyang Zhenren's instructions!

"Not bad. Ziyang stroked his long beard and said slowly, as if every word had to be reconsidered and pondered: "Now that you have achieved a small degree in cultivation, and you have all kinds of magic weapons to protect your body, the disciples of ordinary sects are no longer very invincible, and walking down the mountain is not a big problem." My Daode Sect has always had a little prestige, if you encounter difficulties, you only show your identity, and there are not many people who will embarrass you. ”

Ziyang Zhenren paused for a moment, and then said: "Ruochen, in fact, the main reason for you to go down the mountain this time is that you have not cultivated since you were a child, and you have come from the red dust, so you must go back to the red dust, and go down the mountain to walk and practice, which is very beneficial to your cultivation." ”

Although Ji Ruochen was stunned, he saw that the other real people were all silent, and it was obvious that he had made up his mind, so he accepted it. Carved his Tao is brave and diligent, I wanted to retreat for another month, but there are also benefits to going down the mountain to practice, at that time he will return to the sea like a fish, once the secret is leaked, he can go far away, so he is stronger than in the Daode Sect, Mogan Peak on this heaven has no way, no door to the ground.

Ziyang Zhenren's palm turned over, and there was already an extra wrench in his palm. This wrench is dark and dull, with a faint hint of gold, a wide and ancient base, and a bottomless special-shaped gemstone embedded with it.

Ziyang Zhenren: "Ruochen, after all, you have some deficiencies in Taoism, and you must have a magic weapon to protect yourself when you go down the mountain." The stone embedded in this wrench finger is called Xuanxin, and the power is created out of nothing, with the meson Na Sumeru. Xuanxin was discovered by our ancestor from the place where Guangchengzi ascended to immortality, and there are two pieces, which are the treasures of my sect for three thousand years. Now the next one is a token of the palm religion, which is held by Ziwei Zhenren. The other one is this, and the usage formula will be taught separately later. In addition, when you go down the mountain this time, all the real people have also given it, so go and get it first. ”

Ji Ruochen stepped forward and received the gifts from the real people one by one. This time, the treasure immortal materials given by the real people are different from the past, and Ji Ruochen is convinced that he is really going down the mountain to practice.

There are all kinds of treasures given by real people, all kinds of them, plus they need to be taught another formula, and it took nearly two hours before and after Ji Ruochen finished collecting things. These ritual weapons are not cumbersome, and they are only one foot square when stacked together, which is obviously suitable for single walking, and they are all specially chosen for him.

After giving the magic weapon, the real people left, and only Ziyang Zhenren and Ji Ruochen were left in the main hall.

Ziyang Zhenren passed on the usage of Ji Ruochen's Xuanxin wrench in advance, and he practiced it on the spot. The Xuanxin wrench has only one effect, that is, it can use the power of the Xuan to contain the magic weapon in it, and then take it out when needed. It's just that this kind of Dao method requires terrifying mana, and although it is the treasure of the Daode Sect Zhenshan with the Xuanxin Finger, it is actually just a thing that can be put down one foot square. It seems that the real people have already considered it, and the magic weapon given to him can basically be stuffed in this wrench.

Ji Ruochen knows the weight of this wrench. The things left behind by Guangchengzi after ascending to the immortals, even if it is a stitch and a thread, are all treasures that cultivators dream of, not to mention such a mysterious treasure, how can it be described as priceless?

This thing is out of the mountain, it will inevitably attract people from all walks of life and demons to covet it, that is, the real people of the eight veins are alone, maybe there are those greedy people who take risks. Ji Ruochen couldn't do it for the first time, so how could he keep this treasure of the Mysterious Heart? He had stayed in the Dragon Gate Inn for several years, and although he had not read any books at that time, he had already deeply understood the truth of his sin. If you don't have a few taels of silver in your bag, how can you call it a fat sheep?

This Xuanxin wrench, although it was as light as a feather, but when it fell lightly on Ji Ruochen's palm, he felt that what he received was an unbearable mountain, and his fingers trembled slightly.

Ziyang Zhenren saw it, knew what he was thinking, and took out three fireworks that were inches long, red copper as the body, and black and gold strokes and handed them to him, and said: "If you encounter something difficult to solve, just let one fireworks out, within a radius of five hundred miles, all the disciples of my Daode Sect will know." It won't be long before someone comes to help. In addition, along the way, you also need to pay attention to the treasures of heaven and earth, spiritual herbs and immortal medicines. Previously, all your materials were taken from various veins, which can be said to be inexhaustible and endless. However, this is not something that was obtained out of thin air, because collecting these materials is a compulsory lesson for our generation, and we must know it. In addition, all rare things must have spirituality, and there is often a fixed number of ways to go. ”

After Ji Ruochen put away the three fireworks, Ziyang Zhenren stood up, paced slowly in the hall, and said: "Ruochen, everyone in the world thinks that people who cultivate immortals and seek the Tao do not eat fireworks in the world and stay away from worldly disputes, but this is not the case. If it is like dwelling in the clouds, of course, it is not impossible. But that's the way to do it, not to pioneer. It is because you go down the mountain this time, and you also need to do some mundane work. I have a disciple in Taichang Palace, named Xu Zekai, who is now serving as a staff member in Li Anfu, the king of Luoyang and the governor of Henan Prefecture, and has won Li An's trust. I have already repaired a book, you give this book to Zekai, and he will arrange everything for you. After you arrive in Luoyang, in addition to the daily homework must not be wasted, all you have to do is to traverse the red dust, there is no need to avoid taboos, and then learn the way of governing the country through the world, other than that, there is no need to do anything. As for the follow-up, when the time comes, I will send someone to inform you. ”

Ji Ruochen took the letter and put it away carefully.

Ziyang Zhenren said again: "Ruochen, you were originally under the gate of my Taichang Palace, and after this big exam, you will choose a wall to enter." However, that was the rule that was laid down four years ago, and now that the situation has changed, the matter will be postponed. From this day on, you will still be taught by the eight true people. ”

Ji Ruochen answered, and asked again: "Master, who should I go down the mountain with this time?"

"You're alone. ”

Ji Ruochen was stunned again. Regardless of the level of the road, both the road is built, and then it is very human. Many mortals regard it as a place where the path is easy, but the monks are afraid of it. He is so lowly and carries a peerless treasure, this way to Luoyang is tantamount to a sheep walking among wolves. Ji Ruochen still understands this truth.

So he asked again.

Ziyang Zhenren paced a few more steps, stood in front of the window, and said lightly: "What, I'm afraid?"

Ji Ruochen was stunned at first, but after all, he was still a young man, and when he was so excited by Ziyang Zhenren, a warm blood surged in his chest at that time, and he said: "Of course I'm not afraid!"

Ziyang Zhenren smiled slightly and said, "Since you're not afraid, let's prepare to set off." ”

Three days later, the lead cloud hung low, the jade fell like cotton, and Ji Ruochen single-handedly only had a sword, floating down the mountain.
