Chapter 9 Tengyun(1/2)
The sound of chanting scriptures came into Li Xun's ears, which was vague and unreal. He moaned, lifted off the quilt covered his head and face, then opened his eyes and looked at the beam above the roof.
"So, this is not a dream!" Li Xun said to himself in a daze.
This is the tenth day after Li Xun returned. Every night when he fell asleep, he dreamed of sitting on Wangfeng Peak. It was not until he woke up in the early morning that he realized that he was in the Qiyuan Hall on Lianxia Mountain, and that he was already a disciple who had officially entered the wall.
It is only a matter of time before it becomes a direct disciple of three generations.
Except for Shan Zhi, the others who went up the mountain with him were still "opening the mountain". With his progress, he was even faster.
Li Xun sorted out his appearance, put on the cloud robe that he had been wearing for seven years, took a few books in his hand, and walked out the door.
Qiyuan Hall is located on the Ichini Peak. The scenery on the peak is quiet and the birds are singing low. It is a good place for practicing the mind.
The nearly 100 disciples in the hall have already passed the "opening of the mountains" and are now seeking excellence. They have three or four courses every day, which are various courses such as classics, magic, and experience in the Xuan Realm taught by immortal masters in the sect. However, they do not take up too much time, and in fact, they are still taught by their disciples themselves.
After the "opening the mountain" training, the disciples felt that Li Xun had gotten up quite early, but when he came on foot, many senior brothers were chanting scriptures and refining qi among the flowers and trees. It was obvious that it had been a while since he was there.
Li Xun found a quiet place to sit down, practiced his energy for a while, and after his merits were complete, he leaned under the tree and pulled out a book to read quietly.
These books are all bibliography given by Qingyin, so he naturally did not dare to neglect them. Except for some general scriptures, he read most of them in a hurry, and he couldn't say what he could do.
But it has the effect of calming one's mind and concentrating one's will.
During these days, what he devoted most was to understand the "Chic Transformation Chapter" taught by Qingyin. He had learned all kinds of exquisite magic tricks without a teacher, but it was not a system at that time. At this time, he would have something else to gain through the Qi.
In fact, the Qi chapter clearly distinguishes the state of practice at this stage. There are two levels of skill: "The East Sea sinks into clear water" and "The bright moon grows on the sea".
In the state of "the East China Sea is sunken and clear water", the process of refining the essence of qi is the process of training from the inside out.
As early as seven years ago, Li Xun had a small state of "relying on his energy and being able to flow endlessly". He also practiced hard for seven years, and used exquisite techniques such as cloud patterns to unintentionally practice this level.
Since Qingyin taught the method that day, the qi in his body has transformed day and night. To this day, all the likes of arms and fingers have become small paths, even if they transform into substances and shapes, the skill of refining essence has been completed.
Not long after, he will cultivate the state of "the bright moon is born on the sea".
This state is the "meat tympanum". The so-called "meat tympanum" means that the ** mortal fetus is transformed into the first gate of the Tao body and Dharma body.
However, this progress is really limited. If you can turn the inner breath and use the wonderful magic trick to pull the qi, you can gather qi into pearls and produce it when the qi is in full swing, that is the golden elixir, which is in the realm of "the bright moon is born on the sea".
If the golden elixir is formed, it will penetrate the "pioneer". At that time, the golden elixir is used as a medium and the qi as a pull, and the limbs and bones are bathed in the essence of heaven and earth every day, and the inner breath will become "true breath". After a long time, the Tao body will be achieved and you will be able to live forever.
Li Xun is not good at this time and cannot practice it. However, the habit of studying "cloud patterns" over the past seven years has made him think more and more, starting from the simplest point, analyzing the context, gradually enriching it, and finally completing his skills in his mind. When he is in real action, he will naturally become familiar with the path and come naturally.
In recent days, he has predicted the previous few hurdles several times. If there is any obstacle, he will not look for the book to verify it. Instead, he will first use "cloud patterns" and "bright patterns" to verify it, and even use the techniques in "Netherworld Records" to compare the advantages and disadvantages of the book after he has his own answer.
In this way, the progress inevitably slowed down, but every step was extremely solid, and he never felt as if he was vigorous and clear because of the rapid progress of the realm.
Such stability is almost inferior to the immortal masters who have achieved success in practicing Taoism, and this is where Li Xun is better than others.
When he figured out a little stunt, it was noon. He collected the books and walked back slowly. Many senior brothers on the road couldn't help but wander around him after seeing him, thinking it was because of the trouble caused by his seven-year climbing.
Li Xun didn't care. He always had no shortage of etiquette among the crowd and never offends others. Whether he was gentle or smooth, this method was the most suitable for living in the world. This is Li Xun's way of dealing with the world.
There are all people with advanced cultivation and fasting. One meal a day, fresh fruits are enough. Li Xun took a fruit in his hand and held it in his hand, and was not in a hurry to eat it. He was just thinking about his plans for the afternoon.
In the afternoon, there was a class by Mingsong Taoist, one of the "Seven Swords of Lianxia", which should be the application of ** techniques. It was good to hear it, but maybe Shan Zhi would come too. I haven't seen him for seven years, and I don't know how he became.
Shan Zhi is useful to Li Xun, so he naturally needs to make friends with him. When interacting with such people, you must meet his preferences.
Li Xun knew very well that seven years was enough to change a person's personality, especially on Lianxia Mountain. What he heard and saw were like gods and immortals, and his subtle power should not be underestimated.
He thought of collecting information first and then meeting the man, but he felt it seemed bad.
But it was too obvious, so it would be better to observe carefully and make plans again!" At this time, Li Xun had already made a decision in his mind.
So he decided to go to the class in the afternoon, but before that, it would be better to study various prohibition techniques to avoid wasting time.
Having a scheming in his heart, he turned around and walked. But after just two steps, a sword light flashed in the sky, and a person appeared. The man asked, "Junior Brother Xun? Is Junior Brother Xun there?"
The sound sounded familiar. Li Xun looked up and was stunned: "Senior Brother Shan Zhi?"
God seemed to want to joke with him, but when he thought of this person, he brought him to his eyes.
However, this accident just made him stunned for a moment, and then a change of thought, the appearance of the old friend on his face, which was intertwined with surprise, was vividly revealed.
With a long laugh in the sky, Shan Zhi jumped down gently and put it on Li Xun's shoulder.
Shan Zhi has indeed changed a lot in the past seven years. He is about half a head taller than Li Xun, with a square face and thin phoenix lips, showing a bit of elegance. He looks a lot more than when he was young, but his outline is still there, so Li Xun recognized it at a glance.
Dan Zhi's appearance has changed a lot, and his mood has also changed a lot. At least at this time, he didn't look like he was greedy and vain when he was young. He was quite enthusiastic and frank when greeting Li Xun. It seems that seven years of training the heart have also produced some results.
He looked Li Xun several times before laughing: "Good boy, he's so strong! He looks like a leopard! How can you tell that he is a little prince? But his skin is still the same
How white, a handsome face has not changed!”
His words were true. Li Xun was in the mountain for seven years. Although his skin was always not tanned, his figure was developed. His muscle lines were slightly visible, but they were not too exaggerated. Instead, they were full of strong tension, and he was like a leopard.
He had a beard on his face, but he had a childish look. He looked pretty and immature, but he didn't change much compared to seven years ago. He seemed to have a natural baby face.
Li Xun also smiled, as shy as ever: "Senior brother has become more talented. I am because the beasts on the mountain are powerful. In order to survive, I can't do it without training! It's a blessing to be able to survive."
Shan Zhi laughed again after hearing this: "I just left the customs yesterday, and I heard from my master that someone had climbed up to the Wuwang Peak, but I didn't know it was you. I just heard your name today. It happened that the sect leader had something to tell you, so I asked this errand to come to you. Now let me go."
"The Sect Master is looking for me?"
Li Xun's face was just right and surprised, which made Shan Zhi happy: "Of course, except for the three generations of ancestors, you are the first disciple to climb up to Wangfeng Peak on foot. According to the rules of the sect, you are the same direct disciple as me. Who are you looking for if you don't?"
"It's only half..." Li Xun replied honestly: "Thanks to the cloud robe, elixir, and the self-defense dagger you gave me, if it weren't for them, I would have died as early as the first year of going up the mountain!"
This was very sincere. Shan Zhi was very proud of his face when he heard it. However, his cultivation is increasing day by day and he doesn't show any expression. He just smiled more kindly, holding Li Xun's arm and laughed: "It is a merit to help you achieve full merit, and you don't need to be polite. By the way, my cultivation is still shallow, and I can't lead people when I control the sword. We can only go up step by step..."
The two talked and laughed, and walked side by side. Shan Zhi talked about the difficulties in practicing and interesting things within the sect. Li Xun talked about the strange experiences on the peak. The two were quite co-starring, looking like a touching reunion of old friends.
Although they could not control the sword, both of them had first-class skills. Although Li Xun was a little slower and did not have the same leisurely manner as a single wise man, overall, he did not waste time. It only took half an hour to reach the Zhiguan Peak.
This was the first time Li Xun went to the important sect of Zhiguan Peak, but he felt that compared with the buildings on other peaks, there was nothing outstanding. It was just that many houses were hidden in flowers and trees, and occasionally there were clear streams and waters in the middle, which looked like a peach garden, simple and natural.
Shan Zhi casually told him about the arrangement on the peak.
On this peak of meditation and contemplation, there is only a Taoist temple at the highest point, which only seeks to be refined and does not require grandeur. On weekdays, those who have already been channeled will sit in the inside, while those who have not been channeled will be outside the view.
The practice is meticulous everywhere, and only when the sect discusses matters can it be watched together.
At this time, in the Taoist temple, the sect belongs to the sect leader, and as long as the ones on the mountain are included.
Of course, this is not to mobilize many people for Li Xun. According to what Shan Zhi said, there are some other things. It seems that Li Xun’s entry was just a coincidence.
When Li Xun first stepped onto the top of the peak, he didn't realize what was strange about it. But after walking a few steps, he suddenly saw the clouds floating outside his body, and his heart moved.
At this time, I carefully observed the layout here, but some buildings, flowers, and streams seemed familiar.
After some thought, I remembered that these were some fragments of the "cloud pattern" ban, but it seemed to be mixed with other bans, which were much more complex and profound, and were specious, but the power was obviously not something Li Xun could imagine.
Some of the disappointments I had before were blown away all of a sudden, and my heart began to be beating. After sitting in Wangfeng for seven years, if he had any hobbies, it would be analytical and cracking these ban methods.
When he first came down to the peak a few days ago, he communicated with Qingxu overnight. He realized that he had a deeper concept. This compound ban is the most mysterious and interesting. If the ban here can be broken, not to mention the benefits he can get, just the satisfaction in his heart can make him forget about meals for March!
Li Xun was eager to try, but at this moment, Shan Zhi pulled him and said a little angrily: "Junior brother, what are you thinking? I've called you twice!"
Don't stay!"
Only then did Li Xun realize that he had stopped involuntarily, so he had to smile awkwardly and find a reason to make excuses. Just as he was about to take a step, he saw that Shan Zhi in front of him had a stagnant face, and he looked at the side with a slight angle.
Li Xun felt something and looked over there, but saw three or four beautiful female cultivators climbing the peak, with their silk skirts floating and clouds surround themselves, which was not like ordinary people.
Although it is not as calm as Qing Yin's every move, it also has the style of a great man. It is no wonder that Shan Zhi was stunned.
Li Xun was afraid that he would make a fool of himself, so he coughed, and just like Shan Zhi had just done, he pulled the corner of his clothes and called out, "Senior Brother Shan?"
Shan Zhi was shocked suddenly, turned around, and saw Li Xun's smile-like expression, instinctively coughing, trying to pretend to be serious, but in the end he smiled awkwardly, and sighed again: "Junior Brother Xun is laughing... Senior Sister Bi has become more and more touching in recent years, and Senior Brother Wenhai is indeed very blessed."
Li Xun was stunned when he heard this. Shan Zhi felt that he was quite rude at this time, so he quickly changed the subject and said: "... And Junior Sister Yin, Junior Sister Song and others are all more dignified than before... Could it be that the martial arts of our sect have the effect of improving people's appearance?"
But the topic was too stiff. Li Xun's heart moved and he saw that the embarrassment on Dan Zhi's face became heavier, so he immediately did not dare to neglect and turned his eyes to him.
First, I stared at the female cultivators fiercely, and took them back before they could sense who they were looking at. They also smiled at Shan Zhi: "Senior Brother Shan, you are not kind! I don't say that you have such a blessed person on the mountain! I suddenly feel that I have missed many good things in my seventh year of sitting in Wangfeng Peak..."
Li Xun pretended to be regretful.
People's hearts are so strange. If you pretend to be ignorant or make a false and serious statement in that case, it will inevitably cause the other party to be dissatisfied and vigilant. However, once you reach the same situation as the other party, the psychological distance between the two will be greatly closer, and you may even appreciate each other.
This was the case with Shan Zhi. His heart suddenly felt relieved and was about to speak. The female cultivators on the other end had seen them and greeted them with a smile. Shan Zhi replied with a serious gift and was meticulous. Li Xun didn't want to be a clown, but he was like a Taoist master with his breasts not fading.
When the female cultivators left, they looked at each other and felt closer than before.
Shan Zhi was still thinking about making up for the aphasia just now: "Actually, although these senior sisters are the same as us, they have been around for more than ten years, decades, and hundreds of years. Junior brother, you must not just look at the surface. Their cultivation is much better than my senior brother!"
Li Xun smiled in his heart, but on the surface he was embarrassed and was taught.
After this episode, the topics that the two of them could talk about increased a lot, and Shan Zhi also began to talk about some topics between men.
While talking and laughing, the Taoist temple was already looking at it. Li Xun looked up and saw that the words "Unclear View" were written on the plaque, which seemed to have other meanings.
When he arrived here, there were a lot more people coming and going. Shan Zhi didn't dare to talk about the topics just now. He just took Li Xun and his past senior brothers to chat a few casually. Li Xun could occasionally hear the words "climbing on the Forget Peak" and "amazing" from them, so he naturally didn't mention them.
The Taoist temple is as small as Shan Zhi said, but the small paths are secluded and have their own garden style.
Shan Zhi took Li Xun around a few times and came outside a room. He asked him to breathe first, and then he said loudly: "Disciple Shan Zhi, I am ordered to come here with my junior brother Li Xun."
In the room, Qingxu seemed to say: "Let Li Xun come in, let's go!"
Shan Zhi winked him and left as he said. Li Xun took a deep breath, stepped forward two steps, and said again: "Disciple Li Xun, greets me!"
After saying that, he gently pushed open the door and stepped in.
To be continued...
