"Brother!
"Brother!"
The little girl of fourteen or fifteen years old was climbing up the mountain. Because the mountain was too steep, she had to use her hands and feet. She was not as reserved as other girls her age at the foot of the mountain, nor was she as weak as them. She shouted while
While climbing up the mountain quickly, I actually climbed quite fast.
Suddenly, a vast expanse opened up before our eyes, and we had reached the top of the mountain.
"Brother!"
The girl straightened her upper body and looked around.
Although the peak of Fuqiu Peak is not as narrow as some other dangerous peaks, it is not very large and can be seen all at a glance——
There were only some miscellaneous trees and rocks around, a particularly large and strange ancient pine, and nothing else.
Oh, there are some.
It was a palm-sized fox cub on the ground. Such a small cub grew up very quickly and changed a lot in a few days. At this time, it was sitting obediently, its tail swaying from side to side, and staring up at her.
"Not here?"
Didn't you say it was here?
The little girl was a little confused. Just as she was about to go down, she saw the little fox cub sitting on the ground, and she became even more confused.
"Where's senior brother?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw a person walking out of the ancient pine trees.
Just the little senior brother she was looking for.
"Um?"
The little girl was stunned for a moment. She looked at Lin Jue and then at the ancient pine tree that was thicker than a human: "Brother, what are you doing, how did you get out of the tree?"
"The method of wood escape."
Lin Jue said to her simply.
If he had just come to this Taoist temple, he might have avoided the little girl, or told him not to tell his master and brothers. However, after staying for a few days, he almost knew the traditions and traditions of this Taoist temple.
What are the personalities of his masters and brothers?
These Taoist priests are too lazy to care about this.
The most important thing is to be free and easy.
At the same time, there is absolutely no rule in Fuqiu Temple that disciples in the temple cannot practice other spells or practice spells from elsewhere. Otherwise, Taoist Yunhe would not let him learn spells from the master of Xianyuan Temple. Fuqiu Temple
There will be no other spells besides the original seven spells.
Lin Jue could almost guess that after he entered Fuqiu Temple, he would probably spend most of his time on the mountain. In the past few years, he would not have the opportunity to come into contact with other magic arts. It was just this one, so it didn't matter.
This spell also requires practice and continuous understanding.
Lin Jue has just learned it now, and his performance is not stable yet, and he is not comfortable enough in using it. He needs to adjust his mood before he can escape into the tree. At the same time, perhaps because of the "earth wood essence" and the aura in peach gum, Lin Jue can do whatever he wants from the beginning.
Shuttles between living and dead trees. However, he cannot move freely in the trees. There is resistance and it is very laborious. Moreover, if he wants to hide in the tree, the tree must be wider than him, otherwise the extra part of his body will be exposed.
Come.
It is said that when you practice to a high level, you no longer need to worry about the difference between the shape of trees and your own shape. You can hide in even a tree as thick as a bowl or a flat door or wall panel.
The most important point is that if Lin Jue hides in a tree now, he will not be able to breathe inside.
So you can't wait too long.
This is quite fatal.
In fact, Lin Jue almost knows by now that this spell is related to both talent and nature. It cannot be practiced successfully through hard work. Even if he is usually very cautious when chopping firewood, he will never hurt or destroy vegetation without reason.
, but at most it can only be cultivated to a high level. It is almost impossible to cultivate to the legendary level where one can move by the root system of vegetation and the branches and leaves that are in contact with each other.
This is normal.
There are countless spells and countless people in the world, and everyone has their own strengths. How can one person be top-notch in talent in every direction? Not to mention there is not enough time and energy.
Lin Jue was already content.
But you still have to practice.
And this kind of practice cannot be hidden from Senior Brother Guanzhong and Taoist Yunhe for a long time.
In this case, why hide it?
"Junior sister, have you taken the 'Earth Spiritual Rhythm' I gave you?"
"I took it, and I felt some strange feelings after taking it, like I had a lot of dreams. Master said that when I start learning 'Ji Shi', these insights will show benefits."
"That's good."
"Brother, I came to tell you that Master just told me that Taoist Master Wangjizi of Xianyuan Temple will give a sermon to his new disciples today and asked us to attend."
"Okay! When?"
"Master said there's no need to go back. Let's go directly. He has already made an agreement with the temple owner of Xianyuan Temple." The junior sister said quickly, "He asked a crow to show us the way and asked me to call you."
After speaking, she patted her satchel:
"I've already packed the food for the road. It's a bit far, so we have to walk faster."
"Then let's go."
Lin Jue turned around and glanced at the little fox, then followed his junior sister down the mountain.
Sure enough, there was a crow standing on the branch below. When it saw the two people and the fox descending, it immediately flapped its wings and flew along the path that people could walk, leading them to the Immortal Source Temple.
Yishan Mountain is very big, with a width of dozens of miles from east to west, from north to south, and even nearly a hundred miles from north to south. There are more than a hundred peaks that can be named, and there are also many Taoist temples. Xianyuan Temple is relatively close, but
It's uphill and downhill and the road is difficult to walk, which is also very time-consuming and physical.
The two of them almost ran away.
The little girl had a very lively temperament, and she was already familiar with her senior brother. Even though she was walking so fast, she still had something to say.
"Brother, look, there is a pine tree there, one side is green and the other side is red! Do you know, yesterday the third senior brother told me that it was touched by the messenger of the mountain god, and the place where the messenger touched will turn red."
"Maybe he's drunk."
"Yeah..."
The mountain was steep and I was soon out of breath from exhaustion.
Xianyuan Temple also appeared in front of them.
This is a precipitous and beautiful mountain peak, as if it was painted by a freehand painter in a landscape painting. But in this weather when the misty rain has just stopped, this mountain has come into reality under the clouds and mist. I don't know if it is like this all the time or not.
The two of them were lucky, and there was a circle of brilliance hanging above the sun, making it look even more like a fairyland.
There is a complex of buildings on the mountain. They are not courtyard-style Taoist temples like Fuqiu Temple, but palaces and pavilions scattered halfway up the mountain, connected by stone staircases in the middle, which is very grand.
At this time, there is smoke curling up in the view, mixed with the clouds and mist, making it difficult to distinguish one from the other.
"So big."
The junior sister couldn't help but say.
After saying that, she turned her head again and explained to the senior brother beside her:
"Master said that Xianyuan Temple is the largest secluded Taoist temple in Yishan. It has many disciples, but they are just cultivating, and there are basically no pilgrims at the foot of the mountain to offer incense."
"Then let's go."
Lin Jue stepped forward.
The door of Xianyuan Temple was open, and Taoist priests wearing Taoist robes were coming in and out. Lin Jue and his junior sister had not yet finished their Taoist robes, and they were only wearing ordinary clothes. When these Taoists saw them, they were very strange, and they did not think they were
Come and watch the pilgrims offering incense and the like.
In fact, Yishan Mountain is already remote, and this is the depth of Yishan Mountain. These Taoists established Taoist temples here to practice peace of mind. Let alone pilgrims, even those who love landscapes would find it difficult to come here.
"You two are..."
"Fellow Taoist, you are merciful." Lin Jue saw that the Taoist who spoke was also very young, so he returned the greeting, "We are the new disciples of Fuqiu Temple, and we are on good terms with Guiguan. I heard that the master of Guiguan is giving a sermon to the new disciples today.
, my master asked us to come and visit.”
"Fellow Taoists of Fuqiu Temple, the master of the temple is giving lectures here. Let me take you there."
"Thank you so much, Brother Dao."
Since others were warm and polite, Lin Jue changed his name.
"Thank you so much, Brother Dao!"
The junior sister almost imitated his tone.
So the two of them followed the young Taoist for more than ten feet, then walked up a stone staircase on the left, and arrived in front of a main hall.
The door of the palace was also open, and green smoke was lingering inside.
There are more than a dozen futons spread on the floor in the hall, and there are more than a dozen young Taoist priests sitting there. Most of them are in their teens, and there are also three or two in their twenties, all wearing brand-new Taoist robes. There is an old man sitting in front of him.
He quickly answered the questions of many little Taoist priests.
"The Tao is mysterious, but it is not mysterious. Everything is natural, and it is the Tao. Since you came to this world, you have seen and heard the Tao everywhere around you, but it is difficult to understand the Tao."
The old Taoist looks younger than Taoist Yunhe.
"Master Guanzhu, can you start preaching?"
"You kid! How can you be in a hurry when practicing Taoism? You must know that this is the worst thing in the world." The old Taoist said, looking at the three people outside, "I told you that there are other Taoist disciples who have not come.
What can you do if you wait patiently for a while? Besides, isn’t it almost here?”
The young Taoist who led Lin Jue and the others stood at the door, saluted, called the temple master, and then said: "Two Taoist friends from Fuqiu Temple came to visit, saying they came to listen to the temple master's sermon.
.”
Lin Jue also quickly stood at the door and saluted inside.
"I've met Taoist Wangjizi."
"I've met Taoist Wangjizi."
The old Taoist raised his eyebrows and asked, "Are you two the only ones here?"
There was obvious dissatisfaction in his voice.
"Just the two of us."
Lin Jue stood outside and replied loudly.
"Hmph! In the past, when you disciples of Fuqiu Temple came to listen to lectures, the temple master would still come with you when you first came. Please be polite. Now, doesn't Master Yunhe even want to walk these few steps?"
The little junior sister lowered her head and listened, feeling something was wrong. She stood at the door and didn't know what to do for a moment, so she had to turn her eyes and look at her senior brother quietly.
"Master is not in good health."
Lin Jue was also a little unsure.
"Huh? What's going on? You're already here, why are you standing at the door talking? Come in and sit down!"
The old Taoist waved his sleeves and fanned the green smoke in the hall.
A dozen young Taoist priests all turned around and looked at the two Taoist priests from other Taoist temples who had been waiting for them for a long time. Some were curious, some were unhappy, some thought they didn't even wear Taoist robes, and some
Because of the attitude of the viewer, it is inevitable that it is a bit unfriendly.
Lin Jue led the junior sister into the hall.
There were exactly two futons empty.
Lin Jue knew that it was reserved for the two of him, so he walked over with his junior sister and sat down.
"Why did your Taoist temple accept two disciples this time? Wouldn't it be full if you just accept one?" Taoist Wangjizi continued to ask.
"I don't know, maybe it's fate."
"What kind of fate? Isn't it just that you have a pair of good eyes? How is your master's health now? Is it true that he can't even walk a few steps?"
"To be honest with you, Master, my health has indeed gotten worse since I returned to the Taoist temple."
Lin Jue chose to tell the truth.
Perhaps sincerity is really the best way to deal with it. Originally, Wang Jizi's voice should have been somewhat dissatisfied. But now, after listening to it, he just remained silent for a moment, and then sighed:
“It’s really your own fault!”
"..."
"When he was young, he was too impatient in his practice, and his yin and yang were out of balance. However, he was greedy for progress and was unwilling to waste time to adjust. As he got older, the root of the disease naturally fell into place. I heard that he went to visit an old friend a few months ago, and he probably brought it up by force.
Some of his spiritual vitality has now returned to the Taoist temple, but his vitality has declined. In addition, after seeing his old friend, he lost his mind and naturally waited for death.
"This is why he asked you to come to me and listen to my sermon.
"If you can't cultivate yourself, how can you preach to others?"
Wangjizi paused as he spoke, and did not forget to warn the little Taoist priests below:
"Among you, there are some who are impatient. You need to take warning. Remember, yin and yang must not be imbalanced no matter what. It is important to know that imbalance of yin and yang is the way of spiritual cultivation of demons. If people learn from it, they will have future troubles."
There was a chorus of agreement below.
Lin Jue couldn't help turning his head to look at his junior sister, who happened to be turning to look at him. She had a fair face, delicate features, and wide-open eyes, but she always felt a little stunned.
The two looked at each other, not only knowing the reason for their master's poor health, but also remembering Wangjizi's reminder in their hearts.
"Let's not talk nonsense. Today I will tell you about the Five Qi of Heaven and Earth and the Spiritual Rhythm of Yin and Yang, as well as two things about Fuqiu Temple. Please listen carefully to me. How many points you can get is up to you."
Wangjizi sat cross-legged and waved his sleeves.
The little Taoist priest below couldn't help but glance at Lin Jue and the little junior sister. Hearing the sound, he immediately sat up straight and pretended to be listening attentively. However, some people still turned their attention to them. I don't know if they were looking at Lin Jue or others.
Look at the pretty and fair little junior sister.
