Sword knocks the door of heaven

Chapter 10 Yellow Crane Tower

Li Yunsheng stayed in Houshan for more than a month, and Guanli gave him two catties of rice, three stones of miscellaneous grains, and some fruits and vegetables.

If there is any difference between this Immortal Mansion and his family, for Li Yunsheng, it should be that he sleeps well and eats more.Although he is still growing up, Li Yunsheng's appetite has been unbelievable recently. The senior brothers in the temple take good care of him. The immortal food is fixed and they can't give more, but delicious fragrant rice, fresh Vegetables, fruits, and poultry will be delivered every once in a while.

As for sleeping well, it’s not because Li Yunsheng didn’t sleep well before, but because he sleeps so well now that his body, which was numb from being exhausted by twenty tans of water a day, can always recover after waking up. , Li Yunsheng even felt better, as if someone helped him massage and dredge his muscles and bones while he was asleep.

Of course Li Yunsheng didn't think much about it, he just thought it was because of the abundant aura in the world of Immortal Mansion.

No one would have imagined that in just one month, Li Yunsheng had changed from the black and thin child in the past to the young man with a tall figure and bright eyes.

Li Lan was also very surprised to see Li Yunsheng again. He looked at Li Yunsheng carefully, and then he put his chin in his hands and thought: "Why does the rice grain in Baiyun Temple support you so much? It only took one month to go through the bone-changing process." Expect."

"Bone replacement period?" Li Yunsheng looked at Li Lan in confusion.

"It's so cold, I'll go to the Yellow Crane Tower later, you can just find a Taoist scripture and read it and you'll understand."

The weather has gradually turned cold, especially on the top of the mountain, a single coat cannot keep out the cold, Li Lan shrugged and said tremblingly.

Li Yunsheng nodded.

A few days ago after receiving the celestial food for this month, Li Lan made an appointment with Li Yunsheng to go to the Yellow Crane Tower, because the Yellow Crane Tower is more than 20 miles away from the Baiyun Temple, and the disciples of the Baiyun Temple rarely go there. When Li Changgeng heard that Li Yunsheng was going to ask Li Yunsheng and Li Lan to borrow a copy of "The Legend of Killing Demons" written by Bailu Sanren, Li Lan refused and laughed at him for always reading idle books, so Li Changgeng laughed at him. The Yellow Crane Tower was just to meet Miss Chuchu inside, and the two almost quarreled over it.

Originally, Li Yunsheng was afraid that it would take a day to walk the twenty miles, but after this month's training, it only took two hours for Li Yunsheng and Li Lan to arrive at the Yellow Crane Tower.

Like other buildings in Qiushuimen, the Yellow Crane Tower is also hidden in the mountains, and only a few exposed eaves can be seen from the outside. Therefore, when Li Yunsheng followed Li Lang through the dense forest to the main entrance of the Yellow Crane Tower, he felt a bit confused. A feeling of piercing through clouds and fog.The Yellow Crane Tower that appeared in front of Li Yunsheng's eyes was not as mysterious or majestic as Li Yunsheng imagined. It was more like a dilapidated building covered with moss and the roof tiles were piled with fallen leaves.

Not many people read books.

Blessed places like Baicao Hall and Zhuque Pavilion have their own library, with all kinds of exercises and skills, and they are free. Therefore, places that charge money for reading books are only like Baiyun Temple. Only disciples of this kind of blessed land who don't have a library come to visit occasionally.

"Chuchu...why don't you always reply to my letters?"

As soon as he entered the door, he saw Li Lanyong asking the handsome woman at the door who was concentrating on settling accounts in a mournful voice.

Hearing his voice, the woman brushed her hair from her forehead to her ears, then raised her head without looking at Li Lan. She looked at Li Yunsheng still and said, "Little brother to read?"

The woman's face is fair and clean, with exquisite features and beautiful appearance, just like those scholarly young ladies that Li Yunsheng occasionally sees in the secular world.

"Yeah!" Li Yunsheng nodded heavily, and the faint smile on the senior sister's face made him feel very warm.

"This is our new junior brother at Baiyun Temple, doesn't he look very energetic? Junior brother, quickly call Senior Sister Chuchu..."

The woman acted as if there was no such person as Li Lan in front of her. She skillfully picked up a pen to register and asked, "Name?"

"Li Yunsheng."

"Borrow a book or read a book?"

"Read the book first."

"Ten merit coins a day for reading on the first floor, one hundred for the second floor, one thousand for the third floor, and [-] for the fourth floor. To go to the fifth floor, you need letters of recommendation from the head of the house, the temple masters and pavilion masters."

"What's the difference between each floor?"

"The first floor contains some knowledge about astronomy and geography in the Immortal Mansion, the introduction to practice, and some casual practice travel notes and strange novels. On the second floor and above are the secrets of various cultivation methods. These are not for borrowing. You can look inside."

"First floor."

Li Yunsheng thought for a while and said, he is in urgent need of some common sense in the Immortal Mansion, and the question of Xiuxian is still a bit far away for him, then he took out ten merit coins and handed them to the woman in front of him, which he exchanged for a catty of immortal food Yes, one catty of immortal food can be exchanged for one hundred merit coins.

The two ignored Li Lan the whole time, and Li Lan stared angrily.

"Second senior brother, I went over there to read."

Li Yunsheng couldn't wait, he wasn't interested in the matter between Li Lan and the woman in front of him.

Li Lan came to the Yellow Crane Tower originally because he didn't want to drink, so he waved his hand angrily: "Go, go."

Although the appearance of the Yellow Crane Tower is dilapidated, the inside is clean and tidy. Both the bookshelves and the floor are very clean and tidy, especially the endless rows of bookshelves. The wood of these bookshelves is something special.

Another feature of the Yellow Crane Tower is that it is large, because half of its area is embedded in the mountain, so it doesn't look like it from the outside, but once inside it feels like it's impossible to see the end.Daylight can only illuminate a small half of the area, and all the bookshelves are lit with permanent lamps. Under the light yellow light, the bookshelves exude a long-lasting sense of antiquity.

"Where can I look at it?" Li Yunsheng rubbed his hands excitedly.

But when he picked up the first book, his expression immediately calmed down.

The knowledge that the disciples of the Immortal Mansion had been familiar with for a long time was extremely interesting for him to read.

In a classic book called "Xiandu Zhi", Li Yunsheng saw the origin of the ten states in the mouth of his brothers.According to legend, there are Zuzhou, Yingzhou, Xuanzhou, Yanzhou, Changzhou, Yuanzhou, Liuzhou, Shengzhou, Fenglinzhou, and Jukuzhou in the giant sea of ​​four directions, and Yingzhou is where Qinglian Xianfu is located. It is also the only place where humans and gods live together since the separation of humans and gods for thousands of years.

Unlike Yingzhou, the other nine continents are inaccessible places, among which there are many fairy mansions, and there are countless demon dwellings. There are endless disputes between immortals and demons all year round. Compared with this, Yingzhou at this time is so peaceful. .

However, this tranquility was also obtained after a long period of disasters in Yingzhou. At that time, not only demons were rampant in the world, but even the fairy mansions were not peaceful. The emergence of the peerless giant "Qinglian Layman" wiped out all the immortal mansions in Yingzhou with one person and one sword, and only then did the current Qinglian Immortal Mansion come into being.

And it is said that after thousands of years, this layman Qinglian finally split the gate of heaven with his sword and rode a dragon to become an immortal. The prestige of Qinglian Immortal Mansion has been widely spread in various states, and Yingzhou has had a peaceful time for thousands of years.

It is also because of the peaceful time of the millennium that there are many sects of cultivation in Qinglian Immortal Mansion, and a sect as huge as Qiushuimen can only be squeezed into the bottom of the top three!At present, the three largest sects in Qinglian Immortal Mansion are Qiushuimen, Ziwei Palace, and Cangyunzong.

From these classics of Qiushuimen, it can be seen that they divided the seekers into five grades-the master, the spirit person, the real person, the congenital real person, and the sage.

The first grade is Master, which means master of human beings. This grade must be refined and transformed to become a new one.All the masters of this first rank are all men of ten thousand jun, copper-skinned and iron-framed, even if they don't eat for ten days, they are still full of energy.

In the morning, the "bone rejuvenation period" mentioned by Li Lang is to separate the master's realm. Rejuvenation means that the practitioner uses Qi to penetrate the meridians of the whole body, warming and nourishing the muscles and bones, making the body feel like a rebirth.In addition to the bone-changing period, to become a master, one must complete the "rebirth period".The so-called rebirth is to make the five energies move towards the original in the body, gather the heart to form a womb.

Only when the rebirth is completely completed, the basic work of refining and transforming qi can be regarded as coming to an end.

For seekers of Tao, it is easy to change the bone, but difficult to get rid of the womb.

It is obvious that Li Yunsheng has completed the bone-changing period, but it is really difficult to complete the rebirth period. The more he looks down, the more difficult it becomes. It is not because he has no skills, but because of his immortal veins.

In almost all Taoist scriptures, there is a prerequisite for the completion of the rebirth period-"the seeker must have a rootless celestial vein." The reason is that if the celestial veins have no roots, the five qi will have nowhere to go, just like a stray dog ​​or a lonely ghost. No matter how high your celestial vein level is, there is no hope of getting rid of it.

For this reason, Li Yunsheng felt melancholy for a long time.

But soon his curiosity swept away all these melancholy, just because he saw a ranking of the cultivators of Qinglian Immortal Mansion, this ranking is also known as the "Word List", and the top ten on the list are among the top ten. The layman's name was impressively listed, and he couldn't help being a little surprised. He didn't expect this old man to be able to rank among the top ten on the list.

Li Yunsheng's reading speed is still as fast as ever, even faster than before. In the eyes of others, Li Yunsheng just picked up a book casually and flipped through a few pages before putting it back on the shelf. find a book.

Unknowingly, it was already noon, and the woman registered at the gate on the first floor had changed, and Li Lan didn't know where she went. At this time, a white-haired old man came down from the upstairs. He looked like He wanted to go out, but his eyes inadvertently swept to Li Yunsheng who was under the bookshelf not far away.

When he saw Li Yunsheng pick up a book casually and put it down quickly, his brows frowned, and his face became very ugly.
