Chapter 68: The Gift of Luanjing Mountain
As soon as Lin Sa appeared, the whole room immediately seemed small. He said in a gentle and polite tone: "I am not here when the guest is visiting. Please forgive me for the Sun Dushui."
"I'm going to stay at Yangshen Peak for a year, and I won't be a rare guest in the future." Sun Yulu smiled and even had a little coquettish sense of being spoiled. As soon as Lin Sa appeared, she put away the candle and took out a rectangular box and placed it on the table. "A few leaves of five-section green wood, some thin gifts, please accept it with Lin Dujia."
"No reward is received without merit, and the leaves of the five-section green trees are rare to see..."
"There are things everywhere in Luanjing Mountain. I'm embarrassed to take them out. Everyone has a copy. Please teach Lin. Don't refuse." Sun Yulu walked past him, blinked at Xiaoqiu, and pushed open the door, "You have guests here, I'll say goodbye first."
"Walk slowly." Lin Sa turned his strong body and pulled Xiao Qiu behind him.
Sun Yulu quickly disappeared in the snowy night.
Lin Sa watched for a while, and did not close the door. He signaled Xiaoqiu to sit on the chair, poured him a cup of water, and then stood at the door, pressing the door frame with one hand, and didn't say anything for a while.
After Xiaoqiu finished drinking half a glass of water, Lin Sa finally spoke, more serious than usual.
"The Nine Daotong has already felt a little chill from the void. Zuo Liuying proposed to take the initiative to attack the demon cave. Although he did not receive much support, the masters still took some measures to prevent the sneak attacks of the demon species. One of them is the mutual sect of the Daotongs."
"Every Taoist sects the soul and learns the soul?"
"To be precise, you don't have to try it."
"So that's how it is." Xiao Qiu breathed a sigh of relief.
"This kind of thing will become more and more frequent in the future. This is a good thing, but..." Lin Sa frowned slightly, looked at the snowflakes outside the door, and said, "There should be more restricted for certain Taoist priests."
"Did they really absorb spiritual energy from their souls?" Xiaoqiu drank the remaining water in one sip. He felt much more comfortable without the smiling woman. Lin Dujiao often laughed, but he gave people the feeling of being easy-going and free and easy, rather than hiding secrets that were ulterior motives.
"Yeah." Lin Sa's eyes showed a hint of disgust and turned his head to look at Xiaoqiu. "The practice method of Luanjing Mountain is quite unique. You need to understand it, but there is no need to involve it too much. The premise for the coherence of the nine great Taoist dynasties is mutual respect, and - to beware of each other."
Perhaps because he felt that he was overstated, Lin Sa laughed twice, "No matter how you say Luanjingshan is trustworthy, if you are in a place of demons, you will be very useful to have a disciple of the Lantern Candle School beside you. Not only can they clear away unreliable souls, but they are all beautiful women... Well, what are you asking me for?"
Speaking of cultivation, Xiaoqiu became serious, "I have had some strange feelings recently."
Although he often comforted Guan Jinwu, Xiaoqiu actually had a knot in his heart. The Grandmaster Ning Qiwei and several of them predicted that he would experience the heavenly tribulation of Niwan Palace again, but two years later, he still had the "Wuwei Tianmu", which did not seem to be a good omen.
"Tell me." Lin Sa seemed quite interested.
Xiaoqiu pointed to his head, "When I was thinking about it, something seemed to be jumping suddenly inside, just a moment, and it might not be possible to come again later."
"Which part is it?"
Xiaoqiu recalled her feelings at that time, "There was a very deep place in her head. When that thing was beating, the whole person seemed to be affected, and it would interrupt my thoughts."
"How long has it been?"
"Five and six days."
Lin Sa looked at Xiaoqiu and pondered.
"Is this a sign of the heavenly tribulation of Niwan Palace?" Xiaoqiu asked expectantly. Niwan Palace was located in a few inches between his eyebrows, which was the source of the thundering feeling.
"You will have some special feelings before the arrival of the heavenly tribulation, but not including the strange beating." Lin Sa raised his right arm, as if he was going to touch Xiaoqiu's head, and then gave up after hesitation. Even if the disciple himself was willing, he could not enter the other party's mind at will. It would require the consent of at least one leader.
"I don't think there is a big problem." Lin Sa comforted, "I will ask the head for instructions. In a few days, you will be tested comprehensively. The second heavenly tribulation should come. Even if you don't, it's okay. Tianmu and other things are all the details. You can still condense qi into pills in the future. Only the inner pill is the most important. As long as you have already understood the three fields, it doesn't matter even if you can't find the inheritance of the ancestor."
"real?"
"Of course, otherwise, wouldn't the disciples of the other eight great Taoist dynasties suffer? Most of them can only think of the ancestor once, and they don't even have the chance to try it a second time."
Xiaoqiu felt a little relieved, "Thank you Lin Du for teaching you, I won't bother you."
"Wait." Lin Sa called out to his disciple and handed him a piece of three-inch-high candle. "This is a candle with clear hearts. If you have a premonition that you will feel like you are pounding in your mind, light it in advance to see what will happen."
"Hundred-night candles are very expensive, right?" Xiao Qiu just finished listening to Sun Yulu's lecture and roughly learned the value of magic tools.
"Haha, this is just a small piece, not that valuable, and you will know when you enter the banned secret department. The real cost starts from the condensation of Qi into a elixir. Without the support of the Taoist dynasty, it is almost impossible to move forward." Lin Sa thought for a while, and couldn't help but sigh, "The life of practicing Taoism is hard on the surface, but in fact it is very luxurious. I am at the fourth-class realm of the Four-Classic Guxia. The magic weapon I obtained, and the elixir used are at least worth..."
Xiaoqiu has left, and Lin Sa is still calculating in the room how many golden souls he has used to practice. The more he counts, the more ashamed he looks.
The last day of the year ended the snow was about to midnight, but Yangshen Peak was just a little cooler. Xiaoqiu was not sleepy at all and decided to go to the half moon forest to practice boxing and try the effect of the candle of the clear mind.
The strange beating in his mind made him worried, and Xiaoqiu hoped to understand the reason as soon as possible.
Unexpectedly, there were people in the half moon forest, which is usually rarely visited.
"Is it really okay? Two years, two years, I still have my eyes that can't be opened. Oh my God, what will my father think when he knows it? Maybe I will be sent to the Zhiyong Institute, and my father will definitely never recognize me as his daughter again."
"The more anxious you are, the more you will affect your practice. Calm down and take it step by step."
Xiaoqiu walked through the bushes and asked in surprise: "Why are you two here?"
"Ah!" Xiao Qingtao hid behind Fangfang, feeling very embarrassing. Fangfang smiled and pulled Xiao Qingtao out and said to Xiaoqiu: "We want to borrow your place to practice, can we?"
"Of course, this is not my territory either." Xiaoqiu walked up to the two of them and saw a lot of snow on their heads. "Why don't you practice in the house?"
Xiaoqing red face and whispered in frustration: "Fangfang wants to recite scriptures to help me think about it. The house is too small, so I came here."
"You can recite scriptures?" Xiaoqiu was shocked. Although one person taught to recite scriptures every morning, he had not heard a word clearly for two years and was not interested in this subject at all. When the chanting subjects taught to teach classes, he was always in a daze, and even quietly wanted to practice.
This is also the attitude of most disciples towards chanting: it is indeed useful, but they don’t want to learn.
"I have listened to it for two years and learned a little." Fangfang has grown very fast in the past two years, tall and about the same size as Xiao Qiu. She is usually calm and quiet, but there is always a smile on her face next to the people she is most familiar with, "But I don't have an inner alchemy, so the effect is average."
Xiao Qingtao is still as short as two years ago, and her voice is still soft and sweet. "The effect is so good, I think it is better than Wu Du Education." Wu Du Education is a Taoist priest from Honglu. He talks endlessly about how to refine the golden soul, but his skill in reciting scriptures is really poor.
"I want to join too!" Xiaoqiu said excitedly, walked to a huge rock and swept away the snow on it with her sleeve.
"Okay." Fangfang smiled pursed her lips, "If I make a mistake, you are not allowed to complain."
The two of them promised repeatedly, sitting on both sides of the boulder, trying to enter the state of imagination.
Fangfang walked back and forth in front of the huge rock, chanting scriptures. At first, her voice was low and slow, and her pronunciation was too clear and she seemed not very confident. Not long after, her tone was as ups and downs as her teachings, and the words were connected together, like the sound of insects that urged people to fall asleep in summer.
The effect was surprisingly good, and Xiaoqiu quickly began to think about it, and he didn't even have time to praise him.
I don’t know how long it took, but my head jumped deep, and it jumped gently, like throwing an extremely small stone in a thousand-year-old pool. The ripples that spread could spread to the entire water surface.
Xiaoqiu opened his eyes and took a deep breath of fresh and cool air. Looking up, the crescent moon in the air seemed to have moved only a short distance, which means that he had not been thinking for a long time.
Fangfang was still chanting scriptures. When she saw Xiaoqiu open her eyes and revealing a puzzled look, she raised her hand and pointed to the nearby woods, signaling to talk there. Xiaoqiu jumped gently to the ground and walked into the woods, and stopped until she could not hear the sound of chanting scriptures.
Fangfang followed him after a while and asked a little nervously: "What's going on?"
Xiaoqiu no longer takes his experience seriously. "It's nothing, I've just jumped in my mind. I just looked for Lin Du's teaching. He said there is no big problem and I will check it for me in two days."
"That's good." Fangfang felt relieved.
"That Sun Du teaches..."
"That Sun Du teaches..."
The two looked at each other and laughed. Xiaoqiu briefly explained what happened in Lin Sa’s house just now, "She seems to want me to turn to Luanjing Mountain, how is this possible?"
Fangfang remembered other things, "This is the third time a disciple of Luanjingshan has come to Yangshen Peak. I always thought Grandma Feng would send us a message."
Xiaoqiu suddenly had an idea, "Grandma Feng lived in seclusion in Yelin Town back then, was it to collect souls?"
"Yelin Town is a small place, and there are not many dead people all year round. Grandma Feng must not be for this. Alas, I hope I can see her again in the future." Fangfang's smile appeared on her face, "I still remember the first time I saw Grandma Feng. That year, I was only five years old and fell at the entrance of the school. Grandma Feng happened to pass by, helped me up, coaxed me for a while, and gave me a piece of candy. Since then, every time she entered the town, she would stop at the entrance of the school and bring me some delicious food, but she never went to the school, but the central people called me out..."
Xiao Qingtao's horrified cry came from a distance: "Fangfang? Brother Xiaoqiu? Where have you been? Don't leave me alone."
"This is for you." Xiao Qiu took out a small porcelain bottle and stuffed it into Fangfang's hand, turned around and left.
Chen Hao hoped Xiaoqiu could help Fangfang, but what he didn't know was that Xiaoqiu had divided half of the five green wood scent cream to Fangfang two years ago, and never stopped.
When he returned to his house, Xiaoqiu took out Lin Dujiao and gave him a small piece of candle in his heart. He wanted to try again to see if there was a new discovery.
When he was about to put the candle on the table, he was stunned for a moment. There was a complete candle seven or eight inches long lying there, and his whole body was so dark that Xiaoqiu didn't notice it at first.
There is also a piece of paper under the candle. Xiaoqiu picked it up and read it with a close look at the window. The handwriting on it was slightly shining, but it was very clear: the black candle that attracted the gods and the wind was like a dark gift.
