Zhu Xianzhi's sword Qingyun

Chapter 3

In the morning in the mountains, people always wake up very early. As soon as it was dawn, a few white cranes walked back and forth among the clouds, making clear and clear crane calls, awakening Lin Jingyu from his deep sleep.

The drowsy Lin Jingyu remembered the words of Taoist Cangsong yesterday, so he didn't dare to delay at all, so he hurriedly got up, washed up, and hurried to the back mountain early.

It was still early and the mountain air was still thick. Under the cover of thick white fog, the already rugged mountain road of Longshou Peak became more and more difficult to walk.

Lin Jingyu looked at the endless sea of ​​fog, smiled wryly and shook his head, relying on Qihao's guidance from yesterday, bit the bullet and walked deep.

The back mountain of Longshou Peak is covered with a large area of ​​pine forest, and the fallen pine leaves are scattered on the winding mountain road. Lin Jingyu stepped on them, making a slight rustling sound.

Lin Jingyu walked for another half an hour, and finally arrived at the place Qihao mentioned yesterday - Tingtao Tower.

According to Qi Hao, Tingtao Tower is the place where the spiritual energy of the entire Longshou Peak is the most prosperous, and it is the first seat of the Longshou Peak, where the elders usually practice in seclusion.

Tingtao Building is located in the pine forest, with three upper and lower floors. It is built of pine wood, with beams and cornices, mud tiles and wooden walls, and it has a fresh air.

Lin Jingyu walked up the steps, knocked lightly on the door, waited for a while, but did not hear any response.

Lin Jingyu looked at the quiet Tingtao Building, paused, and wanted to push the door to enter, but then shook his head to deny the idea, and said to himself: "Master is in charge of Qingyun's punishment, the most important rules, if you rashly push I'm afraid I will disturb Master Qingxiu."

So Lin Jingyu retreated to the steps, straightened his clothes, and stood in front of the door with hands down.

The fog in the mountains came and went quickly. After an hour and a half, under the sunlight, the original thick fog had lightened a lot.

Lin Jingyu had been standing in front of the door for half a morning, he already felt his legs were a little numb, and his back was soaked in sweat, his tired body made him want to sit down for a while, but after thinking about it, I came to seek the Tao, and I should have some sincerity, so I gritted my teeth and persisted.

It's just that he didn't know that in the depths of the dense pine forest, there was always a person watching him silently, and this person was his master—Taoist Cangsong.

Taoist Cangsong stood in the dark, looked at the small body that was still holding on, smiled and nodded and praised: "Respect the teacher, and the talent is extremely high, coupled with this perseverance, given time, this child may not be able to become the second Brother Wan."

After finishing speaking, Taoist Cangsong restrained the smile on his face, put on his serious face again, and walked towards Tingtao Tower.

Cang Song walked to Lin Jingyu's side, and ordered: "Come in with me."

Lin Jingyu replied with his arms tied: "Yes, Master."

Different from the main hall, Kelu Hall, the arrangement in Tingtao Building is very simple. There is a Tai Chi picture hanging on the wall, a table case, a tea set, a pair of straw mats, and nothing else.

Taoist Cangsong took off his shoes and sat cross-legged on the straw mat, and slowly asked, "Jing Yu, let me ask you, why do you practice Taoism?"

"Why do you practice Taoism?"

Lin Jingyu had never thought about this question before, yes, why?

Thinking about it, Lin Jingyu's mind suddenly appeared in the small mountain village where the blood flowed like a river, the faces of his loved ones, and the family affection that was gained and lost.

A trace of hostility flashed in Lin Jingyu's eyes, and he replied word by word: "Revenge!"

It seemed that Lin Jingyu's reply did not satisfy Taoist Cangsong, Taoist Cangsong frowned slightly, and then asked: "Then what about revenge?"

"After revenge, I..."

Just as Lin Jingyu spoke, he suddenly stopped.

Taoist Cangsong's question made Lin Jingyu somewhat at a loss, what could he do after taking revenge?What should he do?Lin Jingyu tortured himself in his heart and fell into a deadlock.

Just when Lin Jingyu was getting deeper and deeper, Taoist Cangsong spoke, his words were simple and easy to understand, full of grandeur, but like Kuang Ye's alarm bell, it struck Lin Jingyu's heart deeply.

"My Qingyun Sect is the leader of the righteous way in the world. All my Qingyun disciples should help the world, hold swords to defend the way, slay demons and eliminate demons, and uphold justice. Otherwise, tragedies of family ruin and death will always happen. You can understand the reason!"

Holding a sword to defend the Tao, killing demons and eliminating demons, these slogans that were uttered by people in the righteous way came to Taoist Cangsong, and they were as thought-provoking as Huang Zhong Dalu.

Lin Jingyu slowly raised his head, looking at Taoist Cangsong with burning eyes, as if he had realized something.

Taoist Cangsong saw that Lin Jingyu had already understood his intentions, so he nodded in satisfaction, and said, "There is nothing wrong with you taking revenge for your family. But if you just focus on revenge and lose your mind, you will easily fall If you enter the path of the devil, you will never recover. I hope you can remember what you have realized today, abide by the righteous way, and never forget your original heart."

Taoist Cangsong was afraid that Lin Jingyu would be obsessed with hatred and would be controlled by the inner demon, so he had the beating just now.

Cangsong Taoist's words and deeds are all with good intentions, Lin Jingyu nodded gratefully, and said: "Master's words, disciples, this life, I will keep them in my heart."

Taoist Cangsong nodded slightly, and said, "In that case, let's start preaching."

Lin Jingyu sat upright and said, "Yes, Master."

Taoist Cangsong closed his eyes slightly, and said slowly: "Our Qingyun Sect can stand in the world and be the leader of the world's righteous way, relying on nothing more than two things, one is the world-famous ancient sword to kill immortals, and the other is Master is about to teach you the Tai Chi Xuan Qing Dao.

Taiji Xuanqing Dao can steal the power of creation from heaven and earth, and its mystery is unparalleled. There are many prying eyes of evil spirits and monsters. You need to make a heavy oath. "

Lin Jingyu sat in front of Taoist Cangsong, straightened his chest, and raised his hands without hesitation to swear: "The sky is above, and the loess is below. Today, disciple Lin Jingyu swears here that if he spreads Qingyun Daoism to the outside world in his lifetime, he will surely Bombed by five thunders, there is no place to die."

"En." Taoist Cangsong nodded when he saw that Lin Jingyu had finished his oath, and continued, "Taiji Xuanqing is the source of Qingyun's various dharmas. , there are three realms of Yuqing, Shangqing, and Taiqing, and the Yuqing realm is divided into nine levels. Now I will teach you the first level of Taiji Xuanqing. If you make a mistake, you may have endless troubles.”

The journey of cultivating immortality is full of difficulties and dangers, like sailing across the sea, Taoist Cangsong's words are naturally not sensational, Lin Jingyu didn't dare to be careless in the slightest, and answered yes with a straight face.

The first level of Taiji Xuanqing Dao is relatively superficial, and it talks about some methods of practicing Qi. Those who need to practice should sit quietly, let go of their minds and restrain all kinds of troubles, and lead the aura of heaven and earth into the body to perform the great cycle of heaven and earth. One breath, and then comprehend the creation of heaven and earth.

Lin Jingyu was extremely talented, Taoist Cangsong only said it once, and Lin Jingyu could memorize it word by word without difficulty.

"You practice here first, and I will send someone to bring you lunch. Don't be lazy. I will come to check again this evening." Taoist Cangsong repeatedly confirmed that Lin Jingyu's records were correct, and then left after giving instructions.

Lin Jingyu has been a human being for two generations, and his mental age is already in his 20s. His self-discipline ability is naturally not comparable to those fun-loving teenagers.

As soon as Taoist Cangsong left, Lin Jingyu followed the method taught by Taoist Cangsong just now, sat cross-legged, calmed down, put aside all troubles, and began to cultivate wholeheartedly.

Lin Jingyu didn't feel it at first, but after he practiced quietly for a period of time, Lin Jingyu suddenly found that his whole body seemed to be fully open, and his body was able to communicate with the breath of the outside world. Tongtai, extremely comfortable.

Unknowingly, Lin Jingyu entered a state of ecstasy, forgot the time, and even forgot to eat the lunch brought by the canteen.

Soon, the sun gradually set on the western mountain, and Cangsong finally returned to Tingtao Tower.

Cang Song walked to Lin Jingyu's side, looked at the untouched lunch on the table, then looked at Lin Jingyu who was focused with his eyes closed, nodded slightly, and asked, "Jingyu, how are you doing?" That's it."

As soon as Cang Song's voice sounded, Lin Jingyu woke up from that state of ecstasy.

Lin Jingyu looked at Cangsong, lowered his head and replied: "Master, this disciple is stupid, after practicing for half a day, he can still only open the holes all over his body, after trying many times, he still can't attract the spiritual energy of heaven and earth into his body, and circulate around the sky. "

It turned out that Lin Jingyu only knew that the first level of Yuqing was the easiest in Taiji Xuanqing Dao, but he didn't know that it would take a lot of time to practice, so he felt ashamed that his progress was slow.

But when Cang Song heard Lin Jingyu's words, a gleam of light flashed in his eyes, and he secretly sighed in his heart: Opening the pores of the whole body is something that ordinary people need ten days to do, but Lin Jingyu's flower For half a day, my disciple has such talent, so I deserve the prosperity of Longshou Peak.

Cang Song calmly suppressed the excitement in his heart, cleared his throat, pretended to have a calm expression, and said slowly: "Jing Yu, you can open all the holes in your body in half a day, and the speed is not too slow. , I think it will be a small success if you have another half-moon Yuqing layer, and you need to keep your feet on the ground, step by step, and don't be greedy for merit, you know?"

"Disciple understands, thank you Master for teaching." Lin Jingyu replied softly with his hands tied in front of him.

"Okay, let's go here first today, you haven't eaten lunch yet, go back to eat quickly, don't starve your body before you complete your cultivation." Cang Song's tone was still serious, but there was a little more concern in his words.

"Disciple leave." Lin Jingyu stood up slowly, bowed and went out.

As there was still a glimmer of light in the sky, Lin Jingyu quickened his pace and walked towards the front yard. By the time Lin Jingyu walked to the front yard, it was already time to hold the lights.

The yellow oil lamps emitted a dim but soft light, which filled the entire dining hall, adding a bit of warmth to the already lively dining hall.

"Hey, you all don't eat, wait a minute, the junior brother hasn't come back yet." Qi Hao's gentle voice came from the dining hall.

Then, Fang Chao's voice also rang in Lin Jingyu's ears: "I listened to the senior brother, the junior brother has not arrived yet, how can we as senior brothers move the chopsticks first."

"Yes, yes, yes, we are all seniors, and we should wait for juniors." The person who is speaking now is Wen Cong, who was just accepted as a disciple by Cangsong three years ago, before Lin Jingyu came. He is Long Shoufeng's junior junior brother.

However, with Fang Chao's unrestrained temperament, how could he let go of such an opportunity, as soon as Wen Cong finished speaking, Fang Chao immediately said with a smile: "Junior Wen has been waiting for three years, today can be regarded as a senior brother."

"Hahaha" Fang Chao's words scratched Wen Cong's itch, and there was a burst of laughter in the dining hall.

Lin Jingyu quietly looked at the dimly lit dining hall, feeling familiar, and smiled warmly.
