"It's snowing!" Jiang Yuanchen looked at the heavy snow outside the window and put down the ink pen in his hand.

The house is paved with earthworms, which makes it warm and dry, in sharp contrast to the harsh winter outside. The seal characters on the rice paper soon dried up.

Jiang Yuanchen and Lin Zixuan were temporarily staying in a big city thousands of miles away from Huanglin Mountain. Because Taixu Taoist Temple was located all over Chen State, Jiang Yuanchen and his wife did not have to stay in an inn. They only needed to register at Taixu Taoist Temple.

The Taoist temple that Jiang Yuanchen and his two people came to was very luxurious, and it was no worse than ordinary princes and nobles. The three-color wool blankets shipped from Yizhou covered the floor, as well as various mahogany furniture found in the house, and porcelain, antique calligraphy and paintings displayed everywhere.

This Taixu Taoist Temple has a history of at least more than a hundred years, and there are many ancient artifacts in it. For example, there is a picture of King Yi falling on a phoenix hanging on the wall of the room. It is said that it was painted by a famous artist five hundred years ago based on the legend of King Yi in the past.

King Yi, Immortal Lord Tianyang, and God Juyan are generally one of the ten great masters who mended the sky in the past. According to ancient legend, King Yi used his divine bow to kill various mythical beasts, true dragons, and phoenixes, opening up a way for humankind to survive. land. This picture of the falling phoenix depicts the story of King Yi bending his bow in the sky and shooting a purple phoenix to death with one arrow. It is said that the corpse of the last purple phoenix was plucked and its blood was plucked to refine various spiritual weapons...

There is also the gilt incense burner in the house, the ancient bronze mirror hanging on the dressing table, and the tea set on the table. Each of them is an antique that has gone through many vicissitudes of life.

According to Chen Guanzhu of this Taixu Taoist Temple, this Taixu Taoist Temple has pilgrims staying here all year round. In order to take care of the princes and nobles, it is so luxurious. As for those antiquities, they were just left over from the opening of the temple in the past, and they were not considered very precious.

In addition, the Taixu Taoist Sect is not short of money. Not to mention other things, the gold, silver and iron ore Taoist Sect has a lot of it in its hands. How can the laws of various countries in the world be able to control such an immortal who rules the entire state? Above the door?

Quiet and ascetic cultivation is cultivation, and pampering yourself is also cultivation. Therefore, Guanzhu Chen made this place so luxurious, and no one in the Taixu Taoist Sect objected.

Jiang Yuanchen was wearing pure white silk clothes, sitting quietly on a mahogany chair and looking out the window at the courtyard. Seeing the catkins and snow falling outside, Jiang Yuanchen felt so moved that he stepped on the blanket with his bare feet and pushed open the door.

The cold wind and flying snow blew in with a whistling sound. Fortunately, Jiang Yuanchen was protected by true energy, otherwise his body and bones would have been unable to bear it just in a single suit. He stepped barefoot into the courtyard, lifted three inches off the ground under the urging of his true energy, and his clothes fluttered in the wind, showing a state of being out of the dust.

"After building the foundation, looking at the snow falling, it feels more comfortable than the years of hard training on the mountain." The white snow fell into the palm of my hand, and then turned into water vapor and disappeared.

In the past, when I practiced Taoism in the mountains, Baiyang Mountain was clear and spiritual. Although there was rain and snow, it could not destroy the ethereal artistic conception. Jiang Yuanchen, on the other hand, was focused on cultivation and kept his heart tight, and did not pay much attention to the changes in the surrounding environment. In addition, they have to chop wood and carry water every day, so they don't like the changes in wind and rain, which only make their homework more difficult. Naturally, everyone hopes that the weather will be nice and sunny, but they can't resist the bad taste of the elders in the outer sect. Every once in a while, they will change the weather to give these disciples a hard time, and they also call it exercising their muscles and bones.

But now that he has successfully built the foundation, he is relieved, and he has made great contributions in front of the elders of the sect. In the future, as long as he is willing to work hard, he can be ranked as a true successor. In this way, his mind will naturally relax and feel comfortable, and he can feel the wind and snow created by nature. Variety.

Carefree and carefree, Jiang Yuanchen moved with the wind and snow under the flying snow. A plum blossom tree in the courtyard was shaken by the force. A branch of plum blossom fell into Jiang Yuanchen's hands, and he removed the three sets of swords at the outer door in the courtyard. The Dharma dances out one by one.

The breeze subdues the demon, the flower branches dance, and the strong wind suddenly rises.

The bright light slays demons, the ice and snow melt, and the sword energy is sharp.

The dawn moon soared in the sky, the falling flowers rustled, and the cold moon reappeared.

Finally, the three sets of sword techniques were integrated and combined into a starting sword technique. A cold moon truly took shape behind Jiang Yuanchen, and the temperature around him suddenly dropped a bit.

Lin Zixuan and Jiang Yuanchen lived together in this plum garden. In addition to teaching him to learn Yuheng seal script, he also often taught him swordsmanship and other common sense of cultivation. Even as far as Lin Zixuan himself was concerned, he would rather teach Jiang Yuanchen swordsmanship than teach him Yuheng seal script.

It's so shocking. Jiang Yuanchen is far better than Lin Zixuan in terms of writing skills. Lin Zixuan learned a few seal scripts that took him a whole day to learn, but Jiang Yuanchen learned them in just two hours. Although Jiang Yuanchen's writing skills are unfamiliar and his fonts are alienated, his literary talent is by no means comparable to that of Lin Zixuan. Therefore, Lin Zixuan had no choice but to regain his self-esteem from martial arts swordsmanship. After all, Jiang Yuanchen's swordsmanship was criticized by several elder lecturers when he was in the outer sect.

But after Jiang Yuanchen showed off his swordsmanship, Lin Zixuan instantly understood the frustration of the outer sect lecturers. If it is a student with extremely poor qualifications, then naturally it doesn't matter and just ignore it. But Jiang Yuanchen's qualifications are definitely not bad. He has a good understanding, is quite precocious, and he works very hard. He is the best in cultural subjects, he is also top-notch in drawing talismans and making medicine, and he is passable in riding and archery, but his swordsmanship is really bad, and he is far behind his junior fellow students who are usually lazy. This kind of student is the only one who can best inspire teachers to teach. However, Jiang Yuanchen really knows nothing about swordsmanship. He can fully display the three swordsmanship. This is the result of the hard work of several lecturers over the past eight years.

However, it was barely enough for the outer sect to look like a showpiece, but not in the eyes of Lin Zixuan, an inner sect disciple.

"Do you expect to be able to protect the Tao and eliminate demons with this kind of swordsmanship in the future? Don't be kidding!" Lin Zixuan saw Jiang Yuanchen's swordsmanship, so he had to teach Jiang Yuanchen how to swing, stab, chop, and chop, and then he would fight with the outer sect three times. The inner swordsmanship corresponding to the swordsmanship was dismantled, and one move was transformed into the outer swordsmanship and taught to Jiang Yuanchen.

Now Jiang Yuanchen is able to fully display the starting move of "Mingyue Lingfeng Sword" because of Lin Zixuan's contribution.

Lin Zixuan had just finished entertaining the pilgrims with Guanzhu Chen outside, and couldn't help but be stunned when he returned to Meiyuan.

The white clothes are dancing, the cold moon is in the sky, the wind and snow are clustering, and the plum blossoms are flying, as if a Guanghan ice and snow god is casting spells to make snow between heaven and earth.

"I actually learned this sword technique!" Lin Zixuan was immediately overjoyed: "As expected, Xiao Jiang's swordsmanship pays more attention to artistic conception. It seems that he must follow the path of magic sword."

Taixu Dao Sect's sword art is one of the three special skills. Even if you can't really specialize in this art, you can't say you don't know anything about it, otherwise it will be too embarrassing for the sect. That's why Lin Zixuan deliberately forced Jiang Yuanchen to spend some time practicing sword skills.

The magic sword uses all kinds of nature as its sword and attaches great importance to the artistic conception in the sword. Compared with fast swords and powerful swords that pursue speed and power, Jiang Yuanchen, who is good at capturing the artistic conception, is naturally more suitable for the practice of the magic sword.

Jiang Yuanchen, who had escaped from the artistic conception of Han Yue, Wind and Snow, suddenly heard a burst of applause at the round door. With a gentle smile, Jiang Yuanchen inserted the plum branch under the plum tree and said, "Senior brother, have you finished your work from the front?"

Unlike Jiang Yuanchen, Lin Zixuan doesn't need to replenish the knowledge of the spiritual world. In addition to teaching Jiang Yuanchen these days, he just goes to the front to help Guanzhu Chen deal with the pilgrims, and helps worship gods and pray for blessings from time to time. However, this handsome young man was quite conspicuous among the many middle-aged Taoist priests, so many women and girls often came to Taixu Taoist Temple during this period.

"Well. We finally sent those people away. By the way, I have something to discuss with you." Shaking the heavy snow on Lingguang's robe, Lin Zixuan took off his boots first and entered the house: "Even if you build The basic skill is enough to protect your body with magical power, but you have so little to wear, so come in quickly."

Jiang Yuanchen shrugged, and his air of control fell into the room.

Lin Zixuan stood at the desk and watched Jiang Yuanchen write those Yuheng seal scripts today and couldn't help but be speechless: "You have learned hundreds of seal scripts in just one month. Your talent in this way is indeed good. Do you want to choose talismans to practice in the future?"

"Let's take a look. We have too little contact with the Four Arts at present, so we can't decide how to choose yet."

The four and five arts of Taoism are different. The mountain doctor's divination is the five Taoist skills, but the alchemy and talisman formation is the four skills that the monks must master.

For the Taixu Taoist Sect, refining alchemy, making weapons, drawing talismans, and setting up formations are all four things that must be dabbled in. In the future, you must specialize in one of these skills in order to equip yourself with the most basic survival skills in the world of practice. ability.

Lin Zixuan was good at fire and took a masculine path, so he chose to make weapons. After all, Jiang Yuanchen has not returned to the mountain now, so it is hard to say what to choose. But as far as Lin Zixuan is concerned, relying on this kid's skills in seal writing and not learning to draw talismans is simply an insult to his talent.

"The word '嬬' and the word 'heng' are written wrong." Lin Zixuan picked out two mistakes after reading the article Jiang Yuanchen wrote today.

The most basic method of recording Taoist scriptures is Yuheng Seal Script. It is said that the complete version of Yuheng Seal Script has as many as 120,000 characters. The combination of several seal scripts has various different meanings. It is even said that this kind of seal script is The Taoist scriptures extracted from heaven and earth by those with great supernatural powers possess supreme supernatural powers.

But nowadays, there are not many seal scripts used in daily life. They only need to be able to make daily calls. Ordinary monks only need to learn the "Simplified Version of the Three Thousand Yuheng Book" jointly issued by the Nine Immortals Sect three hundred years ago. Taixu Taoist disciples need to learn the "Five Thousand True Texts" compiled by the Taixu Taoist sect itself, and the true disciples need to learn the "Ten Thousand Characters Yuheng Dadian" and "Yuheng Seal Script Grammar Explanation - Ziyang Zhenren's Personal Record" There is also "Taixu Taoist Seal Script Code Rules - Written by Lingxu Zhenren".

However, if you are an old scholar who specializes in Yuheng seal script and those who practice talismans, you need to read the ancient books "Dayuheng Fifty Thousand True Words", "Xuanling Ten Thousand Dharma Talisman Book" and "Complete Edition of Yuheng" compiled five thousand years ago. "Hengzhengjie - The Remaining Chapter". As for the complete version of Yuheng Seal Script with more than 120,000 words, well, not even those Yuanshen practitioners today can learn it in full.

How much you have learned in seal script is directly related to whether you can interpret the practice scriptures left by your predecessors. You must know that the average casual cultivator has only learned the Three Thousand Yuheng Book, and it is simply a delusion to interpret the practice classics written by those predecessors five thousand years ago. Even with the help of various seal script interpretation dictionaries issued by many master practitioners, it is difficult to grasp the rules of seal script five thousand years ago. Forcibly interpreting ancient books, if there are any mistakes, it will be the result of going crazy.

It would be even more tragic if it involves the basic seal script books of a sect. In addition to the general rules of seal script, each major sect's classics also have special code interpretations. It can be said that this kind of fundamental classic is incomprehensible because it is not authentically passed down by the sect. It completely eliminates the possibility of others trying to pry into the sect's classics. Otherwise, if you are misled by the various laws that exist deliberately in the classics, and without the sect's special solution, you will inevitably end up going crazy in the future.

The note left by Master Yu Wei was written in the special secret script of Taixu Dao Sect. Only in this way could it be hidden from Master Huanyue's eyes. However, Shuiyuedongtian has been around for countless years and knows everything about the Taixu Taoist Sect. If this real person is willing to spend hundreds of years, he can decipher the letters left by the real person Yu Wei. That's why Master Yu Wei said that regardless of whether Master Huanyue is practicing or not, he can allocate his energy for a period of time to prevent Taixu Dao Sect from causing trouble.

The daily homework assigned by Lin Zixuan to Jiang Yuanchen was actually to use Yuheng seal script to translate some books and articles in the world, so just mastering a few hundred words of seal script was enough for Jiang Yuanchen.

Jiang Yuanchen nodded at the two typos pointed out by Lin Zixuan, and Lin Zixuan said again: "How about writing each of these two seal characters three hundred times?"

"Senior brother just said that there is something to discuss, I don't know what it is specifically?" Jiang Yuanchen did not respond, put the rice paper aside, and changed the topic lightly.

"You haven't seen any outsiders during this period, so you don't know how many murders there are in the city now."

"Murder case?" Jiang Yuanchen frowned: "There is a murder case in the city, and the government will handle it quickly. What does it have to do with me?"
