Fairy Sword Inquiry 1

Chapter 53 Flying Huang Tengda, Master of the Towering World

Just like in a dream, Zhang Xingyan, a young man from Raozhou, became the deputy head of the famous "Sihai Hall" in Shangqing Palace on Luofu Mountain when he was 17 years old.

It is unbelievable that this dream that has been pleaded for many years without success has come true today.No, in the first few days, Xingyan was often dubious about this matter, not to mention what kind of deputy hall master, even he could not believe that he had become a disciple of the Shangqing Palace, and often held back The old Qinghe Daoist repeatedly confirmed—it made the old Daoist Qinghe a little unbearable, so that now when he saw Xingyan approaching from a distance, he immediately detoured and fled in a hurry like a rabbit and pheasant seeing a wolf dog!
However, thanks to the superb efficiency of the No. [-] teacher in the world, Xingyan was soon reassured.On that spring rainy day, after Ling Chengzi and others floated away across the white rainbow, only three days later, they brought a number of disciples from the Qing Dynasty, and recruited a large number of wood and stone craftsmen in Raozhou and Poyang, and started There is a lot of construction on this horseshoe mountain.

Now, Xingyan has resigned from his job as a musician in Huayue Tower, and spends all day wandering around the Horseshoe Mountain, supervising and inspecting the work with those Shangqing disciples.

However, Xing Yan was originally a child from a poor family, and he was used to suffering. Now that he doesn't do anything but just wander around, Xing Yan is not used to it.So, in the first few days, Xing Yan often couldn't help but roll up his pipes and tie up his sleeves, so he had to step forward to help.

Of course, in the eyes of the Taoist priest of the Shangqing Palace, the young man's enthusiastic deed is very obedient.Waking up is always stopped by the Taoist next to him:

"Wait a minute, how can I do such mundane things with my sleeves and arms bare when I wait for the disciples of the Qing Palace? No one will lose the reputation of our Luofu Mountain!"

Although, the young man still doesn't quite understand, how could he damage the reputation of the sect by giving him a favor, but these Taoists can be said to be his predecessors, since he reminds him so, he has his own right. There is no need to bother to think about the truth now.

Moreover, it is often at this time that Xingyan suddenly realizes that he is already a disciple of the world's number one sect—and, what's more, he is still the deputy hall master!
According to Xingyan's observations these days, it seems that the Shangqing Palace on Luofu Mountain is really powerful.Not to mention anything else, the money alone is very rich.For all kinds of manual purchases, the young man only felt that the money was spent like running water.But that Uncle Qinghu, who was in charge of disbursement of money, didn't change his face, he acted as if he was buying food on the street - this young man who had never seen a big scene, was always amazed when he saw this!

And the familiar old Dao Qinghe, because of his meritorious service in knowing people, is now also appointed as the supervisor of the horseshoe mountain courtyard of the Shangqing Palace.

However, from Xingyan's point of view, although the old man said that he had taken on a heavy duty, he was still the same as before. Take it to heart.Every now and then, the old man would wake up and go to the wine shop in Raozhou City to have a drink.

This day, it passed leisurely like this.In the blink of an eye, more than half a month has passed—now, it is the end of March in Yangchun.

Now on the Horseshoe Mountain, the mountains are green and the vegetation is verdant.Among the green mountains, grasses and shrubs all over the mountain, unknown wild flowers of various colors are dotted in dots, embellishing the spring mountain just like the blue clouds.In the air of the mountains and fields, the soft shreds of tobacco woven by spring insects are floating everywhere, like mist and cotton wool——

It is no longer clear whether it is the fragrance of flowers or the smell of grass, but now the whole horseshoe mountain seems to be filled with an intoxicating atmosphere, just like mellow wine.

It is:

The cuckoos are singing red all over the green hills, and the shredded tobacco outside the tea is drunk and soft!

In this beautiful spring, Zhang Xingyan, a young man who had just adjusted to his status as a disciple of the Qing Dynasty, heard another piece of news.This news made him half-believing for several days.It turned out that his main hall master of the "Four Seas Hall" far away in Luofu Mountain, brother Liu Zongbai Liu Dao, has officially resigned from the position of hall master and returned to the Baoxia Peak Propaganda Hall of the Shangqing Palace to concentrate on studying Taoism and righteousness, and was awarded the Taoist title "Qingbai".His vacancy was unanimously decided by the "Four Sons of the Four Seas" with the highest seniority in the Shangqing Palace: In view of the fact that the deputy head of the Four Seas Hall is young and promising, he is respectful and diligent, and is now officially promoted to the main head of the "Sihai Hall", and Hope to come to Luofu Mountain to see things soon.

Staring at the news sent by Feige, Xingyan thought to himself: "Ah! These days I just wander around, but I don't know that there are other deputy hall masters in my Four Seas Hall." So the young man Hurry up to the old Taoist Qinghe next to him for advice.Hearing the young man's question, the old man laughed loudly: "Hahaha! I said Zhang, Hall, and Master! You don't know, but for many years, there was only one official Hall Master in the lay disciple hall of the Qing Palace. ; and wake up to say, 'Brother Dao', you are the first and only deputy hall master in these years!" Seeing the astonished young man, the old Dao Qinghe felt even more happy, and then said: "This The words 'Young and Promising' are referring to you!—Could it be referring to me, a bad old man? Haha!" "..."

The young man who just learned the truth didn't know what to say for a while. "Congratulations, congratulations! This time, Hall Master Zhang, I have to give out a few glasses of pine fruit wine to the old Taoist!" The old Taoist Qinghe, since he tasted the pine fruit wine from Xingyan's house, he can't forget the mellow and long taste, and now the old man Thinking about the wine jar of Xing Yan's family, whenever there is an opportunity, she would try her best to make excuses and pester Xing Yan to invite him to drink. "Hey! I'm leaving Raozhou." Xingyan was a little lost for a while, ignoring old man Qinghe's pestering.

No wonder he wakes up in a trance.Speaking of which, he grew up so big, although he left the mountains and fields long ago and went to Raozhou City to make a living, but no matter what, he had never left the border of Raozhou.The farthest is to walk around Poyang Lake in Poyang County - but it is still in Raozhou.

Although Xing Yan was forced by his poor family, he had already made a living in the tea houses, restaurants, fireworks and willow alleys, and he saw a lot of people who traveled from south to north, from various religions and from all walks of life.Every time he heard about the business travelers from the north and the south, and the anecdotes and anecdotes from other places, he was also longing for it.But now that the "transfer order" is in front of him, if he really wants to let him stay away from his hometown and go to a foreign country in the southeast, he still feels a little bit reluctant, or rather at a loss.

However, after the initial hesitation passed, I woke up and thought about it, but I was relieved—as the saying goes, "a good man has ambitions everywhere", and he can go to the world-famous Luofu Mountain Shangqing Palace to practice Taoism, but many people can't ask for it Come—this was his own experience.Now that there is such a good opportunity, how can we hold back!

——Thinking of the miraculous spells revealed by Daoist Ling Chengzi, Xing Yan was even more moved!Tell this situation to the parents at home, and they are also very supportive.Although they are mountain villagers, it does not mean that they are ignorant and ignorant. They are also people who understand reason.For the old Zhangtou couple, since seeing the miraculous spells performed by several Taoist priests in front of their house that day, now in their minds, the Taoist priests in the Qing Palace on Luofu Mountain are all gods.If my own children can also go there to practice Taoism, it is really a blessing accumulated over dozens of generations-there is no reason not to go!

Just because he was worried about the child's future, when Xingyan expressed his reluctance to his parents, he was urged by the old Zhangtou and his wife, saying that the old couple were still in good health, so Xingyan didn't have to worry, since the Luofu Mountain The old god sent an edict, then he was asked to leave as soon as possible, and not to delay at home.

Hearing that his parents are so sensible, Xingyan is also very moved.Because, although there is the saying that "a good man has his ambitions in all directions", filial piety is valued nowadays, and there is even a saying that "the parents are here, don't travel far away".When I mentioned this matter to my parents at first, Xing Yan was still apprehensive, thinking that what he did was not filial...

Now that his parents said so, Xingyan's mood suddenly brightened - fortunately, with the reward from the court, his family is quite rich now.All kinds of corvee are also eliminated, so that the father does not have to travel and suffer.

However, Xingyan was still a little worried, and asked old Dao Qinghe to take care of him often - now because of his pine cone wine, this old Dao Qinghe and his father are always on the same page, but they are very familiar with each other.

Now that he knew that he would not be able to return home for a while, Xingyan postponed his trip for a few days and spent some money to hire someone to renovate the house at home and use the bricks to reinforce the walls, so he was relieved .

In the past few days, it was Lingyi'er who knew that Xingyan would soon go to Luofu Mountain in southeast Guangdong Province. The mountains are so high and the water is far away, the road is treacherous, the girl was quite worried.Therefore, Lingyi'er made an appointment with Xingyan, and went to the secluded watery place of Poyang Lake to teach Xingyan her own method of "Ice Heart Knot" and "Water Without Trace".

After he had memorized it by heart, the Dragon Palace Princess seemed to think of something, and warned: "I'm afraid the 'Bing Xin Knot' is not so reliable, so you must be careful after using it! If something goes wrong, run away as soon as possible!"

It turned out that this girl rarely used spells in practice. Just now she suddenly remembered the first time she met Xingyan, and felt that the "Bing Xin Knot" might not be that powerful, so she urgently reminded Xingyan that she was afraid Mistakes in the future.

Xingyan saw that the girl was so worried, but she didn't quite understand it, and thought to herself: "Eh? I'm going to Luofu Mountain to study Taoism in the Qing Palace, not to catch monsters and fight with people - but this Dragon Palace girl is also a Good intentions." Thinking of this, Xing Yan sincerely thanked Ling Yi.

Seeing that the young man was so polite, Ling Yi'er pursed her lips and said:
"The jade flute 'Shenxue' is still in your place. If you are depressed in Luofu Mountain, you can play it to relieve fatigue—but, don't spoil the name of the 'Snow Flute Lingyi' in the future." Oh head! By the way, I almost forgot—this princess has always been generous, and this time I wake up and travel far, and I must give you a reward!" Although she said this a bit bossy, but after getting along with her for a long time, wake up Knowing that Ling Yi'er talked to him like this, it was just a joke.After Ling Yi'er finished speaking, she handed out a pair of white jade lotus flowers from her sleeve, and handed them to Xingyan: "Here! This is the princess's reward, take it away!" After Xingyan took it, the girl again I couldn't help but add a sentence: "You... If it becomes useless at that time, sell it, and you can get a few taels of silver!"

——A heart of caring is beyond words.It's just that this Dragon Palace girl doesn't quite understand the concept of money: this pair of dragon palace jade lotuses, which are exquisitely crafted and natural, are really priceless treasures. If they are really resold, they will cost more than a few taels of silver!

Looking at the pair of white jade lotus flowers that match left and right, crystal and beautiful, Xingyan doesn't know its value.At the moment, he was also quite moved, saying:

"Thank you princess for giving me such a treasure. But... I haven't brought any good things here, so I can make it a parting gift!"

"Is that so..."

——Somewhat unexpectedly for Xing Yan, the princess of the Dragon Palace bowed her head and remained silent after hearing what he said, as if she was quite disappointed.

Seeing the girl's demeanor, Xing Yan was also quite embarrassed, secretly complaining that he was too careless.When she was about to give her a souvenir tomorrow, she suddenly looked at Ling Yi'er, as if she had suddenly thought of a good way, she raised her head and smiled brightly at Xing Yan, saying:
"Stupid! Aren't there exactly two of the pair of white jade lotus carvings that I gave you just now? You can give one of them back to me now!"

"Eh? It's yours in the first place, so it's appropriate to give it to you..." Hearing this, Xing Yan felt a little weird and couldn't help hesitating. "What's the matter, anyway, people think it's very suitable!"

After receiving one of the white jade lotus flowers that Xingyan handed back, the girl's face was a little blushing.She was stroking Yulian with her own hands, and when her heart was shaking, she heard the boy in front of her ask:
"By the way, Lingyi, I heard you mention it before. The name 'Xuedi Lingyi' is actually well-known all over the world-but, I am well-informed in this city of Raozhou, but why have I never heard of it? Someone mentioned it?"

"Stupid! This is famous all over the world, of course you don't—"

As soon as I said this, the girl who was blushing a little, seemed to think of something, and suddenly stopped speaking.

Xingyan was a little surprised when she heard only half of what she said, and looked intently at Lingyi'er's face - only to see that this girl who was originally happy now had a sad expression on her face.

For some reason, the young man asked about Lingyi, but he just didn't say anything.The wind blew up on the water, the mist and the road were lost, and in the spring of this lake, the two broke up and said goodbye like this.

...Finally the day came to get up and go to Naluofu Mountain.

Not to mention that Yan and his parents, neighbors, and acquaintances in Raozhou City will have a hard time saying goodbye.Let's talk about the old Dao Qinghe who had been sending Xingyan so far, when he was finally about to say goodbye, he took out a book from his sleeve and handed it to Xingyan.

Waking up in confusion, he took the book and saw that on the ephedra paper were written several simple official characters:
Town House Exorcising Talismans

The young man was puzzled about what he meant, but he heard the old Taoist Qinghe say in a rare and serious way: "Wake up, if you are not satisfied with being the master of the Four Seas in Luofu Mountain, you can study this scripture to pass the time and earn money." Get a few cents for the wine." After saying that, he turned around without looking back, and drifted away... exactly:
I have listened to water dragon singing and watched Lingbo dance.A lifetime of obsession.No dream to Luofu!
