Chapter Eighteen

Seeing this strange sword that was unpredictable, Xingyan couldn't help but feel happy when he knew the technique of escaping from east to west!

However, now he didn't dare to laugh out loud. He looked at the sword light that was still flashing from time to time in the night sky in the distance. Xingyan quickly grabbed the strange sword and slipped back to the room very quickly...

No words all night.

The next morning, Xingyan's first thing after getting up was to take this strange sword, raise it high and lower it on the stone floor in front of the house, rubbing the sword body up and down, trying to figure out what's strange about this sword.

Just as the young man looked at the sword in the light and looked at the goods, he suddenly heard a clear sound of "Xian's and Ji's and Ji's", and then a strange fragrance came from his nose. When he turned around, he saw two wisps of white light smoke lingering in the slender beaks of the pair of stone cranes beside the door.

"Oh! Something happened to Feiyunding."

When Xingyan carefully put the strange sword back and was about to call out, a bad thought suddenly arose in his heart:

"... Suddenly we called each other, could we come for the noise last night?"

"Well! This is very likely!"

"Call me, is it a senior master who saw something, knowing that the sword light last night was flying from my Thousand Bird Cliff?"

"...Uh! So what if you know? At worst, it's just a matter of disturbing people's dreams! Haha~"

However, even though the young man tried to relieve himself like this, he was still a little worried along the way.

The young man with a ulterior motive turned to the Fa-Dao Hall opposite the Feiyunding Peak, and was about to approach the shortcut to Feiyun Peak, "Huixian Bridge", but he happened to meet several female disciples of Ziyun Palace, with their robe sleeves floating towards him.

The stone path that Xingyan has set up is very narrow now. Seeing three or four female disciples coming in front of him, this former young man in the market habitually avoided him.

When these female disciples who were not squinting passed by, Xingyan took a glimpse of the eyes and saw that the person led by these female disciples was the leader of the young female disciples in the Shangqing Palace: Du Ziheng.

This girl Du Ziheng and Du are almost the same as Zhuo Bihua, Miaohua Palace. Not only is she very pretty, but her Taoist cultivation is also at its best. Such a person is naturally the focus of the male disciples in the Taoist temple of Baoxiafeng.

The name "Du Ziheng" is no less famous in this sect than the head teacher, Master Lingxu. Xingyan almost heard calluses in his ears!

Therefore, Xingyan just took a casual look and saw the famous Du Ziheng coming among the female disciples who were passing by.

Just as Xingyan was about to set off again, he suddenly heard a whisper among the female disciples behind him, which came along the mountain wind and spread to the boy's ears without pulling a word - who told him that his ears had become so good now!

However, these legitimate female disciples naturally speak like swallows singing orioles, which makes the boy feel extremely comfortable; but once they are in contact with the content, Xingyan cannot be happy no matter what:

It turned out that those female disciples, including Du Ziheng, were whispering there, and praised Xingyan's original identity as a market:

"Senior Sister Du, the little Taoist priest who was leaving the roadside just now seems to be the new Sihai Lord!"

"Is that so? I didn't pay attention, hey~ it's so inconspicuous."

"Well, I saw it too. It was the new hall master who had entered my Shangqing Gate by donating it to his own mountain farm! Hey, do you know? The new hall master has done something in the past, but it is really..."

Later, the female disciple who followed the conversation left half of her words, leaving only a puff of her sisters.

Speaking of which, when this woman is together, there seems to be endless topics; even outstanding figures like Du Ziheng are no exception. Immediately, Xingyan heard the voice of "Senior Sister Du" and rang anxiously:

"Ah! What did he do? Junior Sister Ran stop keeping her insincere! Tell me quickly~"

"Hehe~ Then I'll say it-I learned from those senior brothers that Master Zhang of Sihai Hall, used to..."

Speaking of this, she seemed as if the words behind her were ashamed to speak, and she was just stuttering there - this caused her sisters to urge her repeatedly.

After laughing and making a fuss for a while, he heard Junior Sister Ran continue to say:

"I heard that he had been staying in a prostitute before, as if he was a musician or something!"

Although the word "prostitute" in junior sister Ran is like a mosquito chant, I guess her group of sisters can all understand it; at the moment, only a sound of surprise or pretending to be surprised sounded loudly - this time, even if the boy's ears are normal, he can hear it clearly!

“…”

"I really didn't expect that this young man who looked honest actually worked in such a dirty place before... The masters and ancestors of the sect are really, how could they recruit such people into the Shangqing Taoist Sect where I am meditating on the way of heaven!"

"...How do these little girls in the Taoist palace know my situation!"

Xingyan was just smiling helplessly, but suddenly heard a voice hesitant suggestion:

"Senior Sister Du... This person used to do things in such a bad place, so why not...you should teach him a lesson!"

"Well?!"

While Xingyan was chewing on what the word "lecture" meant, he suddenly felt a powerful force coming from his side - he was exhausted and was so exhausted that he heard the "Oh" sound, and the boy was already pushed down by the road!

And now beside him, there was a powerful whirlwind whistling away from the boy, wrapping up a lot of grass leaves and dust along the way.

When Xingyan was in pain, he heard that the female disciples seemed to have just seen something very pleasing, praising Senior Sister Du—

"Sister Ziheng~ Your 'Tornado Curse' has been used so easily~"

"Oh, that's natural - Oh, I don't know when I can practice the 'Fire Art' as skilled as Sister Heng..."

I could only hear the laughter and joy like silver bells all the way down on the mountain road where I came to the clouds; I returned to the lonely mountain road, leaving only the unlucky boy, who was hurt in the dim morning light!

"Haha, these girls who practice Taoism are so ill-fated! But - I'm so unfair! Just work hard and make a living, what a bad thing is it?"

"Actually, the sisters in Huayue Tower did nothing bad! They forced themselves to smile and welcome others in order to survive. Is this what they are willing to do? Alas, these Taoist practitioners who have no worries about food and clothing may not know the sorrow of us..."

"Forget it, I won't bother with them this time. I'd better go to Feiyunding quickly!"

Although the young man who suffered from this unpredictable disaster was a little frustrated, he thought that the leader was summoning him, and he didn't care about so much. He quickly rushed through the natural Huixian Stone Bridge to the Shangqing Palace.

When he arrived at the gate of Shangqing Hall, the little Taoist priest who was guarding the gate bowed respectfully to him and said:

"Master Zhang, please go to the East Parting Hall to discuss matters."

When Xingyan walked into the meeting hall, he found that in addition to the head of Lingxu, there were several Taoist people who had never met before. These Taoist people seemed to have arrived and had already discussed it for a while.

Seeing Xingyan arrive, Ling Xuzi, the head of the sect, smiled and introduced him to several other Taoist priests. Later, he briefly told the young man these extraordinary Taoists:

The female Taoist priest with a kind face was the head of the Ziyun Hall of Yuxiu Peak, Taoist priest Lingzhen; the elderly Taoist priest with a peaceful demeanor next to him was the Taoist priest Lingting, who was the head of Zhu Mingfeng Chongde Hall; the Taoist priest with a slightly whisker and majestic appearance next to him was the Taoist Qingming of the Dharma Hall; and the Taoist priest with a lively expression at the end of the crowd was the Taoist priest Qingyun, who was in charge of the civil affairs of the Shangqing Palace.

When the head of Lingxu introduced him to him, these famous orthodox masters also gently paid tribute to each other with the respectful young master in front of him.

Although these people were basically unable to tell the truth before, from the daily words of the disciples of the Dharma-Supporting Hall, the young man still heard a little about these leaders of the Shangqing Palace—

It is precisely the three Taoist people of the Ling generation, Lingxu, Lingzhen, and Lingting, who are in charge of the Matishan Villa, and are collectively called "Shangqing Four Zi". When others see them, they will always put a title of "Zi" after their Taoist name. And the foreign teachers all call them "Zheng".

Among the four sons of Shangqing, Lingxu and Lingcheng and Xingyan already met each other. The first Ling Zhenzi of Ziyun Palace was not often heard of. The Taoist Master Lingting, who was quiet and peaceful, seemed quite special according to the news that Xingyan heard. The Taoist Master Lingting, the "Four Sons of Shangqing", was also ranked first in Zhu Mingfeng Chongde Hall, but he himself did not know any Taoism!

However, even so, no matter who mentioned the word "Lingting" in Shangqing Palace, they are respectful. Because, although this true person of Lingting does not know magic, his morality is profound, and his cultivation in the Taoist sutra has reached a state of enlightenment. Usually, if anyone in Shangqing Sect practices Taoism and encounters a bottleneck and cannot understand it, he will often ask Taoist Master Lingting for advice. Often, just a few words can make the seeker suddenly enlightened!

This true man Lingting, who was not aware of Taoism at all and only knew that he was addicted to Taoist scriptures, was also considered a stranger in the Shangqing Palace.

The majestic Taoist Master Qingming, who was beside him, was the host of the Dharma Hall. Although the nominal head of the Dharma Hall was Ling Chengzi, one of the four sons of the Shangqing Dynasty; but the Taoist Master Ling Cheng often traveled outside like a cloud and wild crane, and the head of his Dharma Hall was just a name. In fact, the head of the Dharma Hall was the second disciple of the Sect of Lingxu, Taoist Qingming.

Although the generation of the Taoist Qingming is one generation lower than that of the Four Sons of Shangqing, it is said that the cultivation level of the Taoist Dharma is comparable to them. He is the first person to be promoted by the Taoist Dharma among the Qing generation under the Shangqing Palace. In fact, in this Shangqing Palace, there is now a vague saying of the "Five Sons of Shangqing" - in addition to the four Sons of the Spiritual Age, he also needs to be added.

This Taoist Master Qingming is not only powerful in magic power, but also very upright in character. The Taoist Brother Chen Ziping, who is familiar with him, is probably influenced by him, Master Qingming.

Now, after Lingxu had just introduced everyone, Taoist Master Qingming couldn't help but say:

"The head teacher of the good sect knows that last night's events were indeed strange! When the disciple and the master Lingzhen flew up to investigate, they saw that the sword was like a ghost, and finally like a stone sinking into the sea. Suddenly, the flying sword disappeared and could never be found again - such a hiding behavior of shrinking its head and tail is probably not done by the people of my Orthodox Church!"

"oh?"

When Lingxu heard this, he looked at Lingzhen—he heard Lingzhen answer:

"Just as the nephew Qingming said."

"Well...even so, it's not necessarily the evil heretic... But, I, Luofu Shangqing, have always been diligent in practicing and self-control, but I don't know if there is any fellow Taoist who has deep magic powers, who will come to my Luofu Mountain to make trouble."

"Is it the remnant of Taiping Road back then?"

The person who speaks is the master of the hall who is good at serving the hall, Master Qingyun.

"Uh... the Yellow Turban Party was already scattered back then; now after so many years, it is unlikely that it is them."

Taoist Master Lingting, who has never spoken, has such a possibility of saying this.

"Then... could it be how difficult it is to teach the evil heretics who were wiped out by my Shangqing Palace in the late Qin Dynasty?"

"This is even more impossible! That kind of difficult evil was wiped out by our ancestors and others. Moreover, this era is even longer and should be inseparable from them!"

This time, it was Qing Mingzi who spoke and denied this possibility.

"Ha~ Of course it's impossible! The person who caused the accident is still lying obediently on the stone table in my room to sleep!"

Now, the honest Sihai Lord, who appears to be honest, has a secret ulterior motive in his heart, hoping that the contention that has been aroused soon will end so as not to accidentally pull the Qiandian Cliff as he talks!

"Hmm? Could it be that our Shangqing Palace was not there when Zhang Daoling was in the late Han Dynasty?"

The young man who was thinking about it suddenly noticed the word "End of Qin" in the words of the leader of the throne, and he was surprised in his heart!

It seems that the rumors in the market are really hard to believe!

While he was awakening, the next words from the head of Lingxu seemed to give him an amnesty:

"Friends of Taoism, let's discuss what happened today. No matter whether the person who visited Luofu last night or the enemy or the friend, you must be careful. After returning, please ask all Taoists to restrain their disciples and not cause any trouble."

Everyone present respectfully called it. Although, the Lord of the Sihai Dear Lord muttered in his heart:

"I'm so easy, just restrain myself - uh~ no, I have to watch that weird sword!"

Just as he was thinking, he heard the Taoist priest of Lingting say to Lingxu:

"Senior brother, since the enemy is unknown now, the Qinghe nephew who is still in Raozhou has removed his confinement due to horse hoof matters."

Speaking of this, Lingting was a little hesitant and hesitated for a moment, but continued:

"...Why not call Luofu here to add a strong support?"

As soon as Taoist Master Lingting finished his words, he was awakened because of the word "Qinghe" that raised his ears, but he saw strangely that the head of Lingxu who had been calm and calm suddenly had his face sinking like water and said:

"That Qinghe... let him stay in Mati Mountain first!"

Xingyan looked at the situation and felt amazement:

"Well? How strange! This Lingxu leader didn't look like that scheming person - but why did he look so angry when he heard someone mention the old man Qinghe?"

"Ha~ Look at the situation of the leader, I guess the old man Qinghe is very angry. I don't know how the old man cheated on this Luofu Mountain and what kind of disaster he caused. Well, next time he meets him, you must ask carefully! Haha~"

Just as the boy was thinking about it, he heard that the head of Lingxu had recovered his peace and said seriously:

"After you return, you will especially warn the disciples who have traveled out of the mountains to remember not to show off their sharpness when they meet other orthodox people!"

It seems that this seems to be the leader of Qunlun, the world's most glorious sect, is walking on thin ice inside!
