Sword of Punishment

Ji Yuan pondered for a while after reading it, and he immediately took action. He listened to the movement outside the door, and knew that Ding Tong was still guarding the door, so he went to the door and opened the door, and saw Ding Tong Sitting on the threshold and dozing off unsteadily, he suppressed a smile on Ding Tong's shoulder and said:

"Brother Ding, I want to practice in my room, don't let anyone come in and disturb me!"

Ding Tong was startled, and immediately stood up. He opened his eyes in a daze and saw Ji Yuan, and quickly replied:

"Master, don't worry, if there is no special matter, no one will disturb the young master's cultivation!"

Ji Yuan nodded, and then closed the door, he identified the direction and left the room with the method of earth escape, and got out from the wall of the back garden, and then he went to the street to ask people where there is a Taoist temple. At night, the streets are brightly lit and full of people. It is not because of the night that the crowds are sparse. At night, the shops on the street are open for business as usual. It can be seen from the crowd that there are mostly young people. They come in groups of three or four. OK, the noise of laughing and joking can be heard everywhere. [

When Ji Yuan asked some pedestrians where there is a Taoist temple, one of the crowds of young people pointed east and west, and then laughed wildly. It's all nonsense.In the end, hard work paid off, and he asked the location of a Taoist temple from an older elderly population.

The old man said that there is a thousand-year-old Hongyun Ancient Taoist Temple on Hongyun Mountain, a hundred miles to the east of Jingzhou City. Ji Yuan was delighted to hear that, but then the old man told him that there seemed to be few Taoist priests in that Taoist temple. , the incense is not too strong, if you don't go to Hongyun Temple, you can go to another Taoist temple more than 500 miles away to the west.

Ji Yuan thanked the old man, thought about it, and finally decided to go to Hongyun Taoist Temple first. After leaving Jingzhou City and outside the city, Ji Yuan discerned the direction and used light body exercises to drift like a gust of wind all the way to Hongyun Taoist Temple He rushed, his speed was extremely fast, and he was walking on all trails, and it was night, so he pushed his speed to the limit. After traveling more than 100 miles, he arrived at Hongyun Taoist Temple in less than an hour.

A mountain with a height of one thousand feet and a radius of only more than 100 miles appeared in front of Ji Yuan, surrounded by low hills, which set off the Red Cloud Mountain even more prominently, and you could see thick red giant trees at the foot of the mountain Huge ancient vines are entwined on the giant tree like horned dragons, small streams flow quietly, and the rich vegetation is red like fire. It should feel a little hot, but the breeze blowing makes people feel A burst of coolness, layers of faint air made the whole Hongyun Mountain covered with a veil of mystery.

A red stone step with a width of about one foot extends from the bottom of the mountain to the top, making it impossible to see the end.

Ji Yuan paused for a while and then climbed up the steps. He climbed to the top of the mountain in a quarter of an hour, and a majestic and simple red brick Taoist temple appeared in front of him. Looking at the magnificent red cloud Taoist temple in front of him, Ji Yuan was slightly surprised. This Taoist temple It has been built for thousands of years, but it still looks so fresh. The vermilion paint paints the wooden pillars of the door and so on.

It can be described as: the waist of the corridor is unadorned, the eaves and teeth are pecked high; each embraces the terrain, fighting each other.

The cyan tile-red wall, surrounded by lush ancient wood plants, the air is very humid, and the cold moonlight falls down, making the whole Tao look a bit hazy and mysterious. In such a quiet place, people want to let go of the mundane world after standing here for a while. Everything, far away from dust, reminds people of Taoism's way of following nature and returning to nature.

And there are faint rays of light around the Taoist temple. If it is an ordinary person, it is impossible to see the extraordinaryness of this Taoist temple, but Ji Yuan can see that this Taoist temple is not trivial. Come on, it's a good place to practice

He carefully walked towards the vermilion gate of the Taoist temple. When he came to a foot in front of the gate, the closed gate suddenly opened with a creak. A very handsome man who was only seven or eight years old The cute Xiao Daotong held an oil lamp, looked at the approaching Ji Yuan, made a bow, and said in a childish voice:

"The benefactor is here, the master has invited the benefactor to come in and serve tea!"

Ji Yuan was slightly startled when he heard the words, feeling a little unbelievable, he came to this Taoist temple, but no one knew, how did the Taoist priests of this Taoist temple know that he would come.

He suppressed his surprised expression and stared at the little Taoist boy for a few times. He wanted to ask, but after thinking about it, he didn't speak. Instead, he walked into the Taoist temple with the little Taoist priest. I saw a few Taoist priests, walked through many houses, and finally came to a simple red brick house in the backyard. At the door, Ji Yuan saw an old Taoist priest sitting on a dilapidated futon with his eyes closed. But when Ji Yuan just arrived at the door, the Taoist priest suddenly opened his eyes, looked at Ji Yuan who entered the room, the old Taoist smiled and stood up, and made a Taoist gesture to Ji Yuan to declare Shanzai then pointed to one of the two wooden chairs on both sides of a wooden table on the wall opposite the door of the room, and said:

"Little benefactor, please sit down!"

Ji Yuan returned the salute slightly, went straight to the chair and sat down unceremoniously, the old Taoist priest also sat on another chair, after Ji Yuan sat down, he looked at the old Taoist priest carefully, and saw that he was bearded and haired. His eyes are gray and cloudy, but occasionally there is a gleam of light; his teeth are almost gone, and the wrinkles on his face are as wrinkled as old bark. Judging from his age, he is at least a year old. Over a hundred years old, a few patches were also put on the blue Taoist robe, and Ji Yuan could be sure that the old Taoist priest's cultivation had at least reached the realm of a congenital warrior, which surprised Ji Yuan a little.

Looking at the old Taoist priest, Ji Yuan greeted him politely: "Hello, Daoist!"

The old Taoist looked at Ji Yuan and nodded, and said, "My little benefactor must be full of doubts, right? Hehe, please drink tea first, little benefactor!"

At this moment, the little Taoist priest brought two cups of clear tea and put them on the wooden table in the middle. Ji Yuan was not polite, and as soon as he brushed his sleeves, he picked up the teacup and took a sip. The fragrant liquid slipped into the stomach again, followed by a burst of extreme coldness in the stomach, it felt like being in an ice cave suddenly, but it became warm again in a moment, and at the same time The warm force entered into the Danhai, and I felt that the skill has improved a little bit, and finally the mouth is full of fragrance and the gap between the lips and teeth is full.

Tasting the unusual tea, Ji Yuan first showed surprise on his face, and then showed a knowing smile. He put down the teacup, and thanked the old Taoist: [

"Good tea! This is the first time this kid drinks such a good spiritual tea! Thank you, Daoist Priest, for your hospitality!"

The old Taoist looked at Ji Yuan, who had taken a sip of tea, and showed any strangeness. He nodded and said, "Little benefactor, good practice!"

Ji Yuan looked at the old Taoist priest in surprise and asked, "What does the Taoist priest mean by this?"

The old Taoist smiled, pointed to the teacup in his hand, and said slowly: "The little benefactor doesn't know the origin of this tea, so that the little benefactor will know that this tea is called Millennium Iced Dew Tea, which comes from the spirit that grows on the ten thousand zhang ice mountain. Picked from the tea tree, it is extremely cold in itself. Before cooking, it must be baked on a high fire for a month to remove the cold poison accumulated in the tea, and then it can be fried. Add fire-attributed spar and fry it together. After frying, it should be baked in a hole with a ground fire for one year, so that it can be drunk. Otherwise, it will freeze into ice cubes when it is boiled. It is said that it can be drunk. This tea is not easy to come by, and the old man gave this tea as a gift from an expert back then."

Ji Yuan was a little stunned when he heard this. He didn't expect that the preparation of this tea was so difficult, and the origin was also a bit unusual. He was about to take up the topic when the old Taoist looked at him and smiled, interrupted what he was about to say, and continued: "Ordinary people can't drink this tea at all. Only those who have cultivated above the Xiantian Martial Lord dare to drink it. However, even a Martial Lord will emit a chill all over his body after drinking it. It takes about ten breaths to subside. I am an old man because I have drunk it for two days. This time, so after drinking this tea, the whole body will not emit a strange cold air, and this is the first time for the little benefactor to drink this tea. The cultivation base has at least entered the cultivation realm!"

Speaking of this, the old man added another sentence:

"Drinking this tea once can improve your skill for ten years, but it's only effective for the first time. After that, it will only work as a thirst quencher! Hehe!"

Hearing the old Taoist's words, Ji Yuan didn't answer the old Taoist's question about his cultivation, but he became interested in the origin of the tea's efficacy, but he can only keep these in his heart now. He was very interested and felt that the old Taoist was a bit mysterious. He pondered for a while, then looked at the old Taoist's face and asked:

"How did the Taoist know that the boy is coming to Guiguan?"

The old Taoist took a sip from his teacup, then looked at Ji Yuan and said something that shocked Ji Yuan:

"Old Dao Dao, named Shen Suanzi, is 150 years old this year. 150 years ago, Lao Dao, I was a ten-year-old Taoist boy in this Taoist temple. One day, a Taoist priest came from outside. His cultivation was unfathomable. When the master who was the master of the temple at that time saw this Taoist priest, he knew that he was not an ordinary person. He immediately welcomed him into the Taoist temple and asked me, a young old Taoist at that time, to make tea.

The old Taoist made the tea, and when I was about to leave after serving it, I was stopped by the Taoist for no reason. He asked the old Taoist to stay and said that he had something to tell me. At that time, the master and I were a little surprised. It was related to a Taoist boy, so I stayed with some trepidation.

At that time, the Taoist priest chatted with the temple master about other things and then got into the topic. From the conversation, my master and I learned that the Taoist priest’s name is Shenxuanzi. Shenxuanzi said that after 170 years, there will be a catastrophe in the human world. And the person who can save this crisis is you, the little benefactor. "

Ji Yuan's expression changed when he heard this, and he couldn't help interrupting the old Taoist priest: "Master Taoist, why did this matter involve the kid?"
