There are stone steps and paths in the depths of the mountain flowers, and there are people walking in the strange peaks and stone forests.
Taoist Priest Qingxuan followed them and looked around.
Taoist friends Lin and Qingyao in front brought a bowl of turtle dove tofu, a bag of pastries, and a pot of pine needle water. It was obvious that Fuqiu Temple and Xianyuan Temple must have a deep friendship.
Surrounded by strange peaks and rocks, the scenery is breathtaking.
This was already very surprising to him, but he was even more surprised when there was such a stone staircase between the towering mountain pillars and on the vertical cliff.
I saw that this stone step was still a bit old at the beginning, probably due to some wind and rain, and grass had grown between some gaps. But as I went further, it became newer and newer, until I climbed over three mountains.
Finally, the stone steps under my feet had turned into the color of newly opened stones, and there were even gravel powder on the roadside that had not been cleaned up.
After walking a little further, the stone steps break.
"this……"
Taoist Priest Qingxuan couldn't help but widen his eyes: "Did this road just start to be built recently?"
"Yes!" The junior sister who was walking in front looked back at him and replied, "I repaired it!"
"You? Are you alone?"
"Yes! I'm alone!"
"How did you build such a high mountain and such a steep cliff?" Taoist priest Qingxuan couldn't help but look back, looking at the roads that were cut over the mountain, cut into walls, or even cut through the mountain, in disbelief.
The junior sister didn't say anything, she just held the thing she was holding with one hand for the time being, stretched out her other hand casually, and slapped her palm on the stone wall next to her.
"Crack!"
A circle of fine cracks suddenly appeared on the cliff, as big as a washbasin. When she took her hand back, the gravel immediately fell down.
"What a skill!" Taoist Priest Qingxuan couldn't help but be surprised. He looked at an extra pit on the mountain, and then looked at the huge and towering mountains behind him and in front of him. He was still extremely surprised, "But even if you have this skill, you can't do it here.
Building such a road between the mountains can’t be done overnight, right?”
"I've been practicing it for almost two years."
"Two years..."
"Although the road is far away, we will soon reach it. Although the stone is thick, water will penetrate it." The junior sister said solemnly.
“It’s a good journey, even though it’s a long journey, it’s almost there; even though the stone is thick, water drops can penetrate it.”
Taoist Priest Qingxuan couldn't help but murmured.
Nowadays, the most common Taoists in the world are the Fulu Sect and the Lingfa Sect. One of them practices virtue and worships the gods, and the other practices spiritual Dharma and magic. When it comes to personal abilities, the Fulu Sect is naturally far inferior to the Lingfa Sect, but there are many other Lingfa sects in the world.
How many Taoists can compare to even an inconspicuous statue in the temple? It can be seen that the Fulu Sect today is much more prosperous than the Lingfa Sect.
However, when I walked here today, I saw the mountains and scenery around me, and the words and deeds of fellow Taoists, Taoist Master Qingxuan felt a sense of respect in his heart.
Even Director Jiang raised his head and looked at them.
"Master said it!"
The junior sister added.
This is exactly what the path of spiritual cultivation is.
Not long after, a fairy mountain and palaces scattered on the mountain came into view. The three people in Qiyun Mountain were like Lin Jue and his wife coming here for the first time. They were so shocked by this scene that they stopped for a moment.
It wasn't until they saw the two of them walking a little further and stopping to wait for them that they quickly followed.
…
Taoist friends from Xianyuan Temple are also practicing martial arts.
Most of them practice swordsmanship, but some also practice swords, guns and darts.
After the two of them brought Taoist Priest Qingxuan and the others to Xianyuan Temple, introduced them to Taoist Wangjizi, and presented the food and drinks they brought to Taoist Wangjizi, they came out and stood at the entrance of the palace, leaning on the railing, the two of them
People stood side by side watching the Taoist priests practicing martial arts on the plain below, while the fox boredly harassed the sika deer on the stone steps.
Junior sister is watching someone practicing swordsmanship.
Lin Jue watched someone practicing darts.
I have the impression that Xianyuan Guan also practiced swordsmanship before, but because they were not forced to work hard in this area, the practice was not good. It probably only served the purpose of physical fitness and group activities.
At this time, I am practicing much better than before.
The two of them looked at each other intently, with thoughts in their eyes.
"Senior brother!" The little junior sister caught his gaze and looked at him sideways, "What are you thinking about?"
"I was thinking..."
Lin Jue watched the people below throwing darts, but he didn't hide it:
"My darts are easy to use, but they are not easy to carry. It just so happens that the third brother's carved bean can be used as a weapon. Not only can the wood carvings be made smaller, but also can be made larger when exhaled. It can also be used to make metal weapons and armors. Maybe it can also be used.
I can separate it and develop a method to make the spiritual iron into a dart. After being sacrificed, it becomes as small as a finger. When you exhale it, the dart will become larger."
"?!"
The little junior sister was immediately shocked: "Senior brother, you are so smart!"
"It should be feasible." Lin Jue nodded and said, "It's a pity that I don't have good spiritual iron. The third senior brother has saved a lot, but it is only enough for me to make weapons and armor for my three bean soldiers."
"How to find this?"
"It's very difficult to find." Lin Jue shook his head, "Even if Yishan has deep spiritual energy, spiritual trees often appear but not spiritual gold."
"Then where did Third Senior Brother's come from?"
"It is said that he went down the mountain to slay demons, encountered demons who made trouble, and beat someone to death. He took the ancestral copper bell and the heart mirror and fused them together."
"oh……"
The little junior sister thought about it and wrote it down.
"Junior sister, what are you thinking about?"
"I was thinking..."
The junior sister couldn't help but pause for a moment, her eyes changed several times, and then she decided to say honestly: "These Taoists don't seem to be as powerful as me."
After saying that, I couldn’t help but feel ashamed——
Why are we all standing here, watching the Taoist friends from Xianyuan Temple practicing martial arts, and thinking about how to gradually make ourselves more powerful, but there is such a big gap between what we think about?
It seems like I have to learn from my senior brother and become smarter!
"Their swordsmanship is not as good as the Qingdan Sword. If my junior sister learns the swordsmanship, she can give it to them."
"hiss!"
The little junior sister was so excited——
Yes! That’s what I should think!
While they were talking, Taoist Priest Qingxuan, Taoist Master Jiang Ning and Junior Brother Ma had already walked out. Taoist Priest Jiang Ning was walking in front and Taoist Qingxuan was walking behind. However, after they came out, Taoist Priest Qingxuan walked to the front.
"Well, we have been practicing hard to make offerings to the gods all day long. We just want to become immortals one day and live in the Nine Heavens Fairyland." Taoist Master Qingxuan stood in the corridor, with the vast and magnificent sight of Mount Yi in his eyes. "But I didn't expect that fellow Taoists from Mount Yi would
We live in a fairyland."
Only then did the two of them look back.
Seeing that they had already come out, Taoist Master Wangjizi in the palace was still sitting in his original position, tasting the turtle dove tofu they had brought with him, eating it until his beard was covered with soup, so the two of them saluted, said goodbye and went back.
"Three fellow Taoists, please go back to our Fuqiu Temple first and stay in our temple for the next few days." Lin Jue said, "Although our Fuqiu Temple is at the outermost edge of Yishan Mountain, going to other Taoist temples is a bit of a detour.
But we also had a good meal for the three of us with good wine and good food.”
“Good food and wine!”
The junior sister repeated in an accentuated tone.
Priest Qingxuan looked at Priest Jiang Ning.
Taoist priest Jiang Ning had a calm expression, stopped and saluted them and said, "Then it's better to be respectful than to obey."
Taoist Master Qingxuan then said: "Of course it's good!"
"What taboos do you three have?"
“We in Qiyunshan don’t eat meat or fish during fasting, and we have no other taboos.”
"That's good."
The three of them followed them back to Fuqiu Temple.
Who would have thought that in this Taoist temple in the mountains, the saying "good wine and good food" is actually not adulterated at all.
Not only was there meat and vegetables, the taste was excellent, but many of the foods were of a style they had never seen outside, and they had not been the same for several days. Even if some people were not greedy, they were extremely satisfied.
What a great gift.
In the past few days, they searched for temples in the mountains. Except for the Taoist temples of the Danding sect, which focused on refining elixirs and ignored the world, all the Taoist temples of the Lingfa sect agreed to go down the mountain.
After a few days of walking up the mountain, there were no roads in many places, and my whole body was sore from walking.
Fortunately, there is delicious food to comfort me every day.
A few days later, early in the morning.
Lin Jue was sitting in the inner courtyard, facing the sky, inlaying a very small armor for the soldiers.
The armor piece in his hand is the last piece of armor. It is small but sparkling with gold. In terms of craftsmanship, it is not much worse than real armor. However, because it is made of wood, the armor does not need to be sewn or worn on the body, but is inlaid in wooden beans.
Above the soldiers, leave the rest to sacrifice and refinement.
Danguo wood is too hard and it is very difficult to embed it.
But finally got it done.
What appeared on the hand was a wooden man covered in armor. The height was less than the height of a hand. The figure was already strong and strong. Covered in armor, it was even more powerful.
There is a small long metal knife next to it.
The long sword is about half a hand long, and it matches the wooden figure's body shape very well.
Lin Jue picked up the knife, casually twisted a leaf, and cut it lightly with the knife, and the leaf was cut off. He also took a petal, which was much softer. With a long stroke of the knife, a corner was cut off evenly.
.
Compared to armor, long knives are no less difficult to make.
The difficulty in making armor is that each armor piece is very small, but in fact it only needs to be made evenly thick. The long knife is also made of spiritual gold. To make it so small, it has to be in the same proportion as a real long knife, and the center of gravity must be grasped.
To be able to swing it freely and be suitable for slashing and killing. Even if it is a long knife of normal size, to achieve this, one must be an experienced craftsman who is good at making weapons.
Lin Jue doesn't have this ability yet.
The lazy third brother helped him make this. The armor, sword and arrows just used up all the spiritual gold. If he wanted to make another one, he would have to find new ones.
Then he hung it on the bean soldier's waist.
Now the last bean soldier is ready.
The armor and swords have already been sacrificed and refined.
Three heroes who voluntarily followed Lin Jue: one was a master of swordsmanship in the world. Lin Jue only equipped him with a short sword in addition to a long sword, for fear that adding anything else would affect his performance;
One is a retired soldier from the Northwest Army
The hero who came down was good at using shields and swords, so Lin Jue made him a wooden shield and a long sword, and gave him a long sword. One of them was a hunter and was good at archery, so Lin Jue gave him a bow and arrows.
At the same time, a long sword with a ring head is hung on the back of the waist.
This is largely influenced by the third senior brother——
The third senior brother usually does not carry a sword when he travels around the world. When he needs to use a sword to defend himself, he calls out the bean soldier and pulls it out from the bean soldier's waist with a very graceful movement.
Three small wooden figures were quickly placed in front of them.
"Return to Lingdou and return to the Great Wall."
Lin Jue recited a sentence, and the villain suddenly turned into peas.
"When beans fall and the wind rises, soldiers and horses appear."
The three bean grains swelled up in the wind and immediately turned into three tall and strong warriors wearing sharp armor. They were also painted with bright red paint on their faces like the three senior brothers, and they looked like heavenly soldiers dressed up at a temple fair.
"call……"
It was such a complete relief.
Only then did Lin Jue realize the beauty of Third Senior Brother's spell——
Although there were only three bean soldiers and had not yet formed an army, Lin Jue suddenly felt that his sense of security and confidence had improved a lot.
"Thank you all from now on."
So he saluted solemnly, and then recited the mantra:
"Return to Lingdou and return to the Great Wall."
The bean soldiers suddenly shrank and turned into three bean grains on the ground.
The sound of sword fighting could be faintly heard from the outer courtyard.
The junior sister practices swordsmanship every day, and she is unbeatable. It happens that Taoist Master Qingxuan has also practiced swordsmanship for several years. These days, he is too embarrassed to eat and drink for free, so he becomes the junior sister's sparring partner.
I'm leaving today, but I'm here for some actual combat.
Lin Jue put away his bean soldiers and went out to take a look.
As soon as I walked to the door of the inner courtyard and the outer courtyard, I saw the two men competing, and there were mountain flowers all over the courtyard.
Both of them held iron swords with blunt ends.
As soon as he went out, he saw a young junior sister stepping forward and stabbing forward, using the usual immortal method to open the way, but the sword was fast and fierce.
Taoist Priest Qingxuan seemed to have expected this, so he stepped back and drew his sword.
A banging sound.
But he was grinning and felt his hands were numb.
Taoist Priest Qingxuan did not relax, he also stabbed the little junior sister's head with a flick of a dragonfly.
"when!"
The junior sister used the same move as him, swung her sword to block, but almost knocked Taoist Priest Qingxuan's sword away.
"Okay, okay..."
Taoist Priest Qingxuan repeatedly called for a stop.
If I could only feel numbness in my palm when I pulled her sword just now, now that I was hit by her, I almost couldn't even hold the sword steady. Even if I stop now, I feel my hand is shaking.
The two have similar skills, but their strength is quite different.
To put it bluntly, Taoist Master Qingxuan is just an ordinary Taoist priest. His martial arts skills are a little better than ordinary people, but much worse than those of the Jianghu people at the foot of the mountain.
"Fellow Taoist Qingyao's swordsmanship should be enough for him to travel around the world." Taoist Master Qingxuan said, and reminded him, "But there are also many good players in the world under the mountain. They are the ones who are good at fighting and fighting for their lives, and many times
The murderous intention is not on the surface, but hidden in the dark, and its resolution does not rely on swordsmanship, but on martial arts experience, so we must not slack off."
"Thank you, Brother Dao."
"It's our turn to thank our fellow Taoist."
After finishing speaking, Taoist Master Qingxuan put down his sword and turned around to see Lin Jue. He just asked Lin Jue to take him to the inner courtyard to say goodbye to his master and many senior brothers. Then the three of them went down the mountain and returned to Qiyun Mountain.
Lin Jue saw them off and then picked up the broom.
The courtyard is covered with petals, brought by the breeze, and have accumulated for half the spring. The flower season is about to end, and it is time to clean up.
Chapter completed!
