Although Yuezhou is the territory of the Wei Dynasty, due to the existence of the Sanyuan Temple, there are not many troops stationed in Yuezhou. Moreover, every time Chu and Wei fight, Yuezhou will always be avoided.
Xiao Jingxuan worked hard and took only a few days to get from the northern border to Yuezhou, the southern border.
Looking at Yuezhou, a city wall full of vicissitudes of life, Xiao Jingxuan couldn't help but sigh. Sanyuan Guan used its power to protect the people of Yuezhou and saved Yuezhou from the war, which can be considered a great merit.
Because Yuezhou has been spared from wars for a hundred years, the city is very prosperous. Seeing the busy traffic in the city, the people are full of energy. Xiao Jingxuan's mood can't help but feel better.
With nothing to do, Xiao Jingxuan went to a restaurant to eat and drink. It was quite pleasant to listen to all kinds of interesting anecdotes in the restaurant.
However, through chatting with some people, Xiao Jingxuan had some understanding of the Three Yuan Concept.
The Sanyuan Guan is considered a holy place in the world of martial arts. People in the Sanyuan Guan rarely set foot in the martial arts world, and they do not intervene in the disputes in the martial arts world.
However, Taoist priests from the temple always come down from the mountain to treat diseases and donate medicine to poor people every month, and they are free of charge.
Therefore, Sanyuan Temple has a very good reputation near Yuezhou and is very loved by the people.
As for the martial arts of the Taoist priests in Guanzhong, not many people know about it. They only know that it is very high, but how high it is, Xiao Jingxuan has never heard anyone mention it.
After wandering around the city for a day, Xiao Jingxuan set out towards the Sanyuan Temple.
Sanyuan Temple is located on Fushou Mountain, fifty miles outside Yuezhou City. The scenery of Fushou Mountain is also quite good. The mountains are high and densely forested. There is also a stone forest on the mountainside, which is also full of scenery.
Along the stone steps, Xiao Jingxuan walked and strolled, and finally arrived at the Sanyuan Temple on the top of the mountain at noon.
There is a pavilion at the entrance of Yuanguan. There is a stone tablet erected at the pavilion, and the three characters "Jie Jian Pavilion" are engraved on the stone tablet.
At the same time, there were two Taoist priests in the pavilion responsible for registration. Seeing this scene, Xiao Jingxuan did not show off. Instead, he handed over his sword, and at the same time took out the invitation from his arms and handed it to one of the Taoist priests.
"The two Taoist priests are polite. I have been ordered by my master to come to visit Senior Guanzhong. This is an invitation. I also ask the Taoist priest to take a look at it."
Xiao Jingxuan spoke very politely, and Xiao Jingxuan was still willing to give some respect to this kind of sect that protects one side.
The two Taoist priests quickly returned the gift.
"Blessings are immeasurable."
After saying that, he took the invitation and read it. After reading it, the Taoist leader said politely: "It turns out that the direct descendant of the Wuji Sect came to visit Uncle Xuan Yi. Please go straight up the steps to Guanmen.
, there will be a Taoist boy to receive you, senior brother please."
"Thank you all Taoist brothers." After saying that, Xiao Jingxuan continued to walk along the stone steps to the top of the mountain.
Although it was already noon at this time, there was still a lot of thick fog on the mountain. Looking from a distance, it felt like a fairyland.
After arriving at the entrance of the Taoist temple and explaining his purpose of visit to the Taoist boy at the door, Xiao Jingxuan was welcomed to the side hall of the Taoist temple to wait.
Xiao Jingxuan was a little bored sitting in his seat, so he wandered around the side hall.
Different from other Taoist temples, Sanyuan Temple does not enshrine any gods or Buddhas, nor does it enshrine its own ancestors.
As an orthodox Taoist school, Sanyuan Guan pays attention to learning from nature. All gods and Buddhas, or Taoist founders, are just forerunners, and they are not worthy of their own sacrifices and respects. Only heaven and earth are worthy.
However, there are many murals carved on the walls of the side hall. The murals are colorful, with six on each side.
Xiao Jingxuan began to appreciate the murals. Not to mention these murals, they are quite interesting.
The first mural is entirely gray and devoid of anything else.
The second picture is of two colors, one is light cyan, and the other is a mixture of various dark colors, which is difficult to describe.
…
Xiao Jingxuan looked at the murals one by one. After reading them, Xiao Jingxuan's murals should be the scene formed by heaven and earth.
After a while, three Taoist priests walked in from outside the temple. After the leading Taoist priest came to the front seat and sat down, the other two Taoist priests stood on both sides.
"I, Xiao Jingxuan, of the Wuji Sect, have met several Taoist priests."
"I am a poor Daoist, I wonder how you and Wuji Sect Cui Xiwen should be called?"
"In reply to the Taoist priest, he is the master."
"Haha, it seems that your master is really obsessed with this."
Xiao Jingxuan asked a little confused: "Please ask the Taoist priest to clarify my doubts."
Seeing Xiao Jingxuan's appearance, Xuan Yiyi smiled and said: "Twenty years ago, my master came to Guanzhong to spar and was defeated by a poor Taoist, so we agreed to fight again. Now that I send you here, I naturally intend to let you
You just continue this agreement."
After Xiao Jingxuan heard this, he was a little speechless. He was a prince after all, but he was used to make him angry by his master. He was really speechless.
However, the competition is still a competition, after all, the teacher's destiny is as high as a mountain. Xiao Jingxuan does not dare to disobey.
"Taoist Priest, I don't know how to compete. It's better for the juniors to prepare in advance."
"Haha, you, the younger generation, should discuss matters among yourselves. Dan Qing, haven't you met the senior brothers of Wuji Sect yet?"
I saw a young Taoist priest behind Xuan Yi stand up, slapped Xiao Jingxuan, and said: "Xiao Taoist Ge Danqing, I have met my senior brother."
Xiao Jingxuan quickly returned the gesture with fists in his hands.
"I don't dare, senior brother, you're polite."
After the two of them saw the ceremony, Chief Xuan continued: "Back then, your ancestor brought your master to Guanzhong for a competition and set a bet. That year, I was lucky enough to win one and a half moves, and I was able to borrow your sect's Wuji
Heavenly Book, I wonder what my nephew’s bet is today?”
After hearing this, Xiao Jingxuan frowned and thought about it again and again.
"I bet on the Imperial Illustration. I wonder what the long bet is?"
As soon as Xiao Jingxuan finished speaking, the three of them were extremely shocked. Chief Xuan almost stood up from his seat. Soon, the three of them put away their excitement.
"I wonder if this is the national treasure of the Wei royal family?"
"Exactly, I wonder what the long bet is?"
The Taoist priest hesitated for a long time and then said: "Back then, my bet was to read all the classics in the Sutra Pavilion for nine days. However, since my nephew has taken out the treasure, my bet is not enough. So, I will watch you.
If you don’t have any handy weapons, how about I allow you to choose a magic weapon from the arsenal?”
Xiao Jingxuan thought for a while and nodded.
"Everything is at the discretion of my uncle."
Seeing Xiao Jingxuan being so respectful, Chief Xuan nodded.
"My nephew has come a long way to work hard. Let's do this. Just have a good rest in the temple these two days. Danqing, I will take you, Brother Xiao, for a walk later. The day after tomorrow, at noon, we will have a long and short time on the Baishui Lake."
"Yes, Master, please, Senior Brother Xiao."
"Thank you, senior brother."
So, Xiao Jingxuan, under the leadership of senior brother Danqing, visited the entire Sanyuan Temple. Of course, the focus was on Baishui Lake.
After all, Baishui Lake will become a battlefield the day after tomorrow, and the stakes for both parties are not low.
First, let’s talk about the Imperial Illustration. Although Xiao Jingxuan has not practiced the Imperial Illustration, this secret book has given Xiao Jingxuan great inspiration. You must know that the benefits of this secret book for the realm of divine connection are immeasurable.
As for the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion, the stakes are not small. Although the value is not as high as that of the Imperial Illustrated Library, it is not necessarily the case for Xiao Jingxuan.
The Imperial Illustration can only inspire Xiao Jingxuan, and is more useful for those who are strong in the realm of gods. However, the Sutra Collection Pavilion can enrich Xiao Jingxuan's heritage. It can open up Xiao Jingxuan's vision and allow Xiao Jingxuan to go further in the martial arts.
The area of Baishui Lake is not large. Looking at the calm lake surface, Xiao Jingxuan was a little lost.
Ge Danqing on the side saw this and said: "Senior Brother Xiao, now that we have seen the scenery, why don't I send him back to the guest room in the backyard to rest and prepare for the competition the day after tomorrow."
Xiao Jingxuan shook his head when he heard this.
"No need, I will stay here. I will adjust my state here. Senior Brother Ge, please don't hold back for the competition the day after tomorrow. The same is true for me. This competition will not only differentiate between superior and inferior, but also determine life and death."
"Senior Brother Xiao, it's just a martial arts competition, why should we fight life and death?"
Xiao Jingxuan looked around and felt that the scenery here was pretty good, so he sat down cross-legged and looked at the lake.
"Although I come from the Wuji Sect, my martial arts skills have been honed on the battlefield. On the battlefield, there is no room for mercy, so most of my moves are one-hit kills. Sometimes, I can't hold back."
Hearing Xiao Jingxuan say this, Ge Danqing nodded and said: "In that case, in the future, it will be a life and death battle between you and me. Each one will use his own methods."
"Senior Brother Ge, you should go back and rest early. There will be a battle tomorrow. The winner will improve his martial arts and be proud of his peers, while the loser's soul will return to the Nine Netherworld. Isn't it nice? Haha..."
Ge Danqing bowed his head.
"Then I won't disturb senior brother, senior brother, have a good rest."
After saying that, he walked towards the mountain gate.
Looking at Ge Danqing's back, Xiao Jingxuan smiled meaningfully, then closed his eyes and rested, waiting for the battle to come.
After Ge Danqing returned to the main hall, he explained to his master the meaning of Xiao Jingxuan's life and death battle.
After hearing this, Chief Xuan was thoughtful. After a while, he said slowly: "Well, after you go back, take a good rest and don't hesitate too much. The day after tomorrow, I will invite the elders of the sect to watch the battle together. At the critical moment, we
We will take action together and this situation will not happen."
As soon as Xuan Daochang finished speaking, he regretted it, because by saying this, it showed that he did not think highly of Ge Danqing, but the words had been spoken and it was impossible to take them back.
I could only return to my seat silently and close my eyes to hide my embarrassment.
Ge Danqing bowed his head and resigned.
In fact, speaking of it, Ge Danqing's winning rate is not small, because Ge Danqing is already a master in the Xiantian realm.
And Xiao Jingxuan is still only half-step to the innate state, but now Xiao Jingxuan has no shackles and can break through to the innate state at any time.
As for the duel between the two, Chief Xuan was somewhat confident about his apprentice, but it would be hard to say if it was a life-and-death fight.
Xiao Jingxuan did not know what happened in the Taoist temple. Now, what Xiao Jingxuan has to do is to adjust his condition to the best.
