Fairy Sword Inquiry 1

Chapter 64 The Excalibur Comes Suddenly, Flying Snow in the Moon

After seeing the head of Lingxu in the Shangqing Palace, paying homage to the statue of the Patriarch of the Sanqing, and waking up to a brief handover with the former master of the Four Seas Hall, he will be regarded as officially taking office and settle down in the Shangqing Palace on Luofu Mountain.

There is another interjection here.It turned out that the "immortal" figure that Xingyan saw on the mountain road outside the Banshan Pavilion that day was none other than his former Taoist Qingbai!
When Xingyan told Qingbai about the situation at that time, Qingbai couldn't help laughing, and immediately told Xingyan about his ankle sprain; after hearing the whole story, not only the young man burst into laughter, but also the Lingxu who was standing beside him. The head of the sect couldn't help but smile.

The Four Seas Hall is the hall of disciples of the Shangqing palace laymen on Luofu Mountain, and it is located on the Qianniao Cliff of Baoxia Peak in Luofu Mountain.The scenery is quiet and unique.There are several stone houses, leaning against the stone cliff, in front of the house is a stone flat, surrounded by verdant bamboos and trees, the shade of green, separated from the hustle and bustle of the dust.

Living in the middle, the goal is the pleasant greenery, and the ear is the melodious birdsong, it is really like that paradise!
On the left side of the wide stone flat in front of Sihai Hall, there is still a steep stone cliff. On the chaotic rock cliff, a cold spring comes out from between the stones, gurgling and flowing all the year round.In front of Shiping, there is a small pavilion called "Xiaoyun Pavilion"; under the pavilion, there is a steep hillside.On this steep hillside, there are many pine and bamboo trees, which dye the Qianniao Cliff with evergreen color all the year round.In the slightly gentle place between the bamboo and wood, there is a stone path paved with white stones, winding down the mountain obliquely.

According to Feiyun Peak, the Hongfa Hall on Baoxia Peak is facing Feiyunding, which can be regarded as the front of Baoxia Peak, while the Four Seas Hall is on its back.On the unnamed mountain peak opposite Qianniao Cliff, there is a wide waterfall hanging between the chaotic rocks.Sitting in this stone house, you can see this beautiful waterfall from the window.

On both sides in front of the stone house door, there are a pair of stone cranes with similar postures.This pair of stone cranes is not purely for decoration.According to Daoist Na Qingbai, if Feiyunding called for something, wisps of smoke would come out from the mouths of the pair of stone cranes, and at the same time they would make a sound of beeping!
Although the stone dwelling in the Four Seas Hall is crude, but for Xingyan, he is very satisfied.What's more, from Xingyan's point of view, this quiet and quiet scene has a bit of a fairy air. Being able to live here, the young man already feels that it is a blessing he has cultivated in several lifetimes.

After Xingyan came to Luofu Mountain and took up the post of the head of the Four Seas Hall, he gradually understood what kind of responsibilities the head of the disciple hall of the lay disciples of the Shangqing Palace had. The talisman scripture book that I was going to give him earlier, the head of the Four Seas Hall is really just an idle job in the Shangqing Palace.

Different from Tianshijiao, this Shangqing Palace pays more attention to the cultivation outside the world.Therefore, the Puritan sect did not attach much importance to this lay disciple hall.A direct manifestation is that although this Four Seas Hall is listed as one of the Second Halls of the Qing Dynasty, there is only one hall master in the whole hall, and there are no other functions!Moreover, there is something embarrassing about the hall master's dao name.

Although, among sects in the world, Taoist names are ranked according to seniority, it is not very strong, and those who practice Taoism can still keep their lay names as long as they want to.But in the Shangqing Palace, all the heads of the halls will be given Taoist names, for example, Lingxuzi from the Shangqing Palace, Lingtingzi from the Chongde Palace, Lingzhenzi from the Ziyun Palace, and Qingyunzi from the Shanshitang.However, Xingyan's position as the head of the Four Seas Hall is the only exception, and it is customary not to use seniority to obtain a different Taoist number-although, those seniors who have a more detached status in the religion often do not follow seniority , and recreated the Dao name by himself, such as the Cassia Zi who is said to have infinite mana in the Guantian Pavilion—but obviously, the master of the Four Seas Hall does not belong to this kind.

Of course, there is a saying that this can better reflect the "meaning of the layman".But it was obvious that the former hall master Liu Zongbai, now the Daoist Qingbai of Hongfa Hall, was very displeased with this rule.

Now Xingyan already knew that his greatest duty as the master of the Four Seas Hall was to take good care of the roster of lay disciples and some related scriptures stored in the hut behind the hall.In addition, he has to go to the Shangqing Palace at the foot of Luofu Mountain to inspect the farmland property every now and then—this inspection mission on the edge of the field is also one of his responsibilities as the master of the Four Seas Hall!

There is really nothing to do with the previous duty.Because the stone house where the volumes are stored, on the only stone gate, a five-element array has already been set up by the seniors and masters of the sect.It cannot be opened without Xingyan's hall master's token of unknown material.If someone wants to break in by force, they will probably suffer irreparable permanent damage!

However, after the Qingbai Daoist introduced the five-element array, he couldn't help but muttered again: "Oh, will someone come to steal it?" Words do not fall to the ground to hear.From the old Taoist Qingbai's mouth, Xingyan also knows that his "Four Seas Hall" almost ceased to exist--in the middle of last year, several high-ranking Shangqing disciples suggested to the head that they should This useless lay disciple Tang cut it off.However, fortunately, the four disciples of the sect, especially Lingxuzi and Lingchengzi, really didn't take this suggestion seriously, and finally kept the lay disciple hall on the grounds of the ancient system.However, listening to Qing Bai's tone when he said this, it seemed that he was quite sorry for not being able to withdraw his "Four Seas Hall" at that time - looking at this posture, the young man was really suspicious, the old man in front of him, It was one of the main messengers who proposed to abolish it...

In the following days, Xingyan really felt very leisurely.It's just that this former mountain boy didn't feel bored at all.Compared with the toil in the wells of Raozhou City before, the boy is already contented.

What's more, the previous hall masters before him also left many Taoist classics in the stone house.When he wakes up and says nothing is wrong, he often reads and reads—Lingxuzi, the head of the Shangqing sect, once warned the young man that he should study more basic Taoist scriptures when he first entered the Taoist school.

If it were another ordinary market boy, he would almost be blind at that time. If you want him to read these esoteric Taoist classics, it is really more difficult than going to heaven.But now, this hurdle is not a problem for Xingyan.In fact, although he often only works part-time and studies, but among the classmates and disciples of Mr. Ji Lao in Raozhou, the art he has learned is already considered to be the best among his peers.

Xingyan has never been so grateful to his old father as he is now - if it wasn't for his father's thick face back then, Mr. Yang Naji accepted him as a disciple, and now he really doesn't know that the leisurely years on Qianniaoya in the mountains should be How to get rid of it.

Although Xingyan has now entered the Shangqing Palace and is still the head of the "Four Seas Hall", after these days, he basically has no contact with other young disciples of the Shangqing Palace.It's not that he wakes up and says he is withdrawn, but that others are indifferent.Those disciples of the younger generation, who can enter the gate of the supernatant, are all chosen for a while.These Shangqing disciples who are the same age as Xingyan are either descendants of that aristocratic family or descendants of the rich race. It is really rare to see people from such a humble background as Xingyan, almost none.Moreover, although Xing Yanding's title of "Four Seas Hall" is almost a false position, those disciples who are well-born and young and energetic are even more disdainful in their hearts--Xing Yan is also the one with the exquisite heart. People, who usually eat together with the disciples of Hongfa Hall, can naturally feel this kind of negligence from the words that are briefly exchanged.

Looking at it now, Chen Ziping, who sent the wake-up call and came to Luofu together, can be regarded as an outlier among them.However, it seems that he is now concentrating on studying Taoism, and Xingyan seldom sees him.

Of course, although Xingyan was a little depressed at the beginning, but he was used to hanging out among the traffickers, and he was used to these cold and cold eyes.However, although Xingyan was a musician in a brothel before he was able to enter the Qing Palace, which was the most humble and unpopular occupation at that time, the young man never underestimated his status, and never regarded himself as a Shame on means of earning food—the simple family education of the farmers in Mashoe Mountain let Xingyan know that as long as he does his work seriously, he has nothing to be ashamed of and feels inferior to others.In addition, after reading so many poems and books of sages and sages, I wake up to know that in the hustle and bustle of the city, in addition to this humble identity, I can still maintain a noble heart.

Xingyan said that the Luofu Shangqing Palace where he is now, although it emphasizes pure cultivation, but like most Taoist sects in the world at that time, it did not prohibit disciples from marrying.In this Shangqing Palace, there are quite a few Taoist companions who practice dual cultivation.Therefore, the outstanding young female disciples in Yu Xiufeng's Purple Cloud Hall would often become the envy and admiration of young disciples in other temples.

It's just that all these beautiful roads have nothing to do with Xingyan.Those female disciples of the Ziyun Palace also often come to this Baoxia Peak to practice spells in the Hongfa Palace.From the usual rumors, the young man found that these female disciples of the Qing Dynasty in the Ziyun Palace had the same opinion of him, the young hall master who came from Raozhou City, as the male disciples in the Propaganda Palace. I don't care.

Although he was a little frustrated, this way, Xingyan was less troubled and had more time to study the classics quietly.

Now, in addition to carefully reading the Taoist classics such as "Shangqing Jing", "Jade Emperor Jing", "Nanhua Jing", "Tao De Jing" and "Shentong Pin", etc. The "Shangqing Jing" with added materials given by Qinghe, carefully study the two chapters of "Refining God and Huaxu" attached thereafter-because, wake up, I have time to calm down now, and think about it carefully, my body The performance of this self-proclaimed "Taihua Taoist" in the past six months is really a bit like the "strong name and strong character" Taihua Taoist mentioned in these two articles!

After six months of tempering, the young man now deeply realizes that the unexpected Taihua power in his body is absolutely extraordinary.

Speaking of which, Xingyan has a long history of wisdom, and that night on the Horseshoe Mountain, he accidentally entered the state of selflessness that day, and now he has studied so many Taoist classics, and now, for him, he has a lot of understanding—— ——The "refinement of deity and transformation of emptiness" and "Taihua's Dao power", as well as the "longevity and long-term vision" that are admired and pursued in all Taoist classics, the mysterious meaning behind them is not completely clueless for young people .

However, Xingyan now feels that there seems to be a barrier between himself and the ultimate righteousness he longs for—although this barrier seems to be broken at a glance, but when he really thinks about it, he finds that there is still nothing. Clue——

The distance within reach, but there seems to be a world apart!It was not until one night more than ten days later that there seemed to be a breakthrough.

This night is exactly half a month, the moon is full like a wheel, and the light is clear for thousands of miles.Wake up and say that you have nothing to do, so you can enjoy the moon against the wind on the stone flat of Qianniao Cliff.

Now above the rolling mountains in front of the young man, a bright moon is hanging in the pure sky with no clouds.The sky above Luofu is now showing a pure dark blue.Against the background of this deep blue, Xing Yan only felt that the bright moon in the sky tonight, the moonlight that flowed thousands of miles, was particularly touching.

Looking at the beautiful scenery of the moon shining on Qianshan, Xingyan only felt that the Lingtai was empty.At the moment, I couldn't help but admire:

"Hmm! It's indeed a fairy mountain cave! Standing on Qianniao Cliff, and looking at the bright moon in the sky, I feel that the moon is extremely clear and bright!"

Facing the thousand mountains and moonlight, Xingyan was thinking about whether to chant a few words to cheer him up, but suddenly he heard something humming in the stone house where he lived!

Wake up to hear the sound and was about to go over to have a look, but suddenly heard a clear roar in the stone house, like a dragon's chant - he didn't know what happened, but the young man suddenly saw, from the window of the stone house, There was something like a swimming dragon that shot towards him suddenly, and flew to his side in the blink of an eye!

What happened unexpectedly surprised Xingyan.Taking a closer look, he found that the thing that suddenly flew in the air was the strange sword weapon he had picked up on the Horseshoe Mountain last year!
This ancient sword that could not be sold back then seems to have become human again, pointing to the ground, "standing" beside its master!
"Hmm! This sword is really weird!" Xing Yan thought to himself.Just when he was about to move forward to see what was going on, he suddenly realized that although he couldn't see it, he could only feel the moonlight above his head filling the entire sky in the dark sky. They are converging on their own, accumulating stronger and stronger, just like the thousand rivers returning to the sea, they are converging towards the sword beside me!
And the young man standing next to the ancient sword, when the moonlight stream swept over him, he found that the Taihua power in his body seemed to be drawn by the moonlight energy, and began to flow in the limbs and bones. Can't stop circulating!
At this moment, the ancient sword emitted that faint brilliance again.As soon as the silver moonlight touched the surface of the sword body, it disappeared like a mud cow entering the sea——

The body of the sword, which was originally dull and dull, now seems to be changing with various inexplicable patterns!
