Sword Moon Lyrics

Chapter 13 Dao Chongzhenren

The old man surnamed Chen took out a piece of brocade silk, looked at it, and said, "The sixth room in the east happens to be vacant, and it is facing the sun. Senior Brother Zhou, can you take a look?" Senior Brother Zhou said, "This is the one." The old man surnamed Chen He took out a wooden sign from his body and said, "This is the room access control sign." Senior Brother Zhou took it, nodded, and led Shi Feng to the east corridor.

In the middle of the four-sided courtyard, there is a pool of clear water, full of lotus leaves. In late autumn, the pool is actually full of lotus flowers in full bloom, and three or two cranes float on the water, croaking from time to time. The two walked all the way to the door marked "six". Senior Brother Zhou waved the wooden sign in his hand, and the door opened silently. The space inside was not big, but the windows were bright and clean, and it was kept spotless.

Senior Brother Zhou closed the door and said, "Please sit down." Shi Feng sat down on a stool. Senior Brother Zhou said, "Okay, now we are at the mountain gate. You can tell us your purpose of coming." "Shi Feng stood up and said, "This matter can only be reported to Master Dao Chong."

Senior Brother Zhou was stunned and said with a straight face, "The leader is in seclusion all the year round. Even I don't see you once or twice a year. How can you see me just when you say you want to? Forget it, I don't care what you want to report. But first tell me your name, your origin, and why did Master Danyang’s nameplate fall into the hands of a mortal like you?” Shi Feng thought for a moment, then said, “I have to tell Master Daochong personally about these matters. Report."

Senior Brother Zhou's face changed, and he suppressed his anger and said, "Okay, just wait. You are just a mortal, and you may not see the leader in your lifetime." After that, he threw the wooden sign on the table. Went straight away.

But without waiting a lifetime, just one meal, Senior Brother Zhou hurried back and said, "Let's go, the leader wants to see you."

All the way out of the courtyard, we walked straight to a flat pavilion in the east. There was a magic circle above. A fat man was yawning. Senior Brother Zhou pulled Shi Feng and hurriedly walked to the magic circle and said, "Go to Iron Sword Peak!" The fat man hurriedly hit the token in his hand, and the mysterious light of the magic circle appeared.

The next moment, Shi Feng and Senior Brother Na Zhou appeared on a high mountain. The mountain road was meandering with clouds and mist at their feet. The clouds and mist surrounded them halfway up the mountain. There were many houses and buildings on the top of the mountain. Senior Brother Zhou led Shi Feng all the way to a remote place on the north side, where there was a simple bamboo hut.

The two senior brothers Zhou just walked to the door of the bamboo house. A rich old man's voice inside said, "Is it Zhou Qing? Come in." The senior brother Zhou named Zhou Qing bowed in response and led Shi Feng to push the door open and enter. The house is not big. There is a Taoist priest sitting on the bamboo mat in the east. He has gray beard and hair tied with a rhinoceros hairpin, and has a gentle expression. Sitting on the chair next to him is an old man in black, half bald, with a bit of sternness between his eyebrows.

When Shi Feng saw that the image left by the old Taoist priest in front of him was the same as that of Danyang Taoist, he hurriedly knelt on the ground, "I pay my respects to Master Dao Chong!" The old Taoist said with a smile, "Little friend, please stand up." A soft force pulled Shi Feng Holding it up, Dao Chongzhen said, "Zhou Qing, please go out and wait." Zhou Qing responded, gave a salute, turned around and exited the room.

Dao Chongzhen said slowly, "I am Dao Chong. I heard that my little friend was carrying Junior Brother Danyang's nameplate and went up the mountain to look for me. I wonder where Junior Brother Danyang is now?" Shi Feng said, "Master Danyang has passed away." The black man next to him said The old man interjected, "When did it happen?" Shi Feng said, "It happened last winter, about nine months ago."

Master Dao Chong listened without any surprise. Nine months ago, the natal divine tablet that Master Danyang left in the sect suddenly shattered. Everyone in the sect's senior management knew about his death. To this end, the sect sent Many experts looked around, but they couldn't figure out the reason.

Master Daochong nodded and said, "I don't know why Junior Brother Danyang died. How come his nameplate fell into your hands, little brother?" Shi Feng took out the jade box from his arms and said, "The reason is that Master Danyang has already passed away. There are detailed instructions in the jade box, please see it in person.”

Just as Dao Chong was about to take it, the old man in black suddenly said, "Wait a minute, senior brother, this person's origin is unknown, be careful of fraud." Dao Chong smiled and said, "This little brother is helpless and is a human being. How can he plot against you?" "Me?" the old man in black said, "If he has magic power, how can he easily climb up to my Iron Sword Peak? There are many ways of demons and monsters in the world. They are used to poisoning the pot and bewitching ghosts. The origin of this jade box is unknown and cannot be opened lightly." "

Dao Chong stretched out his hand, and a ray of purple light fell on the jade box. The thumb-sized jade box suddenly turned into a one-foot rectangular size. Dao Chong silently performed Xuan Gong and said after a while, "It doesn't matter, the restrictions on this jade box are indeed The seal arranged by Junior Brother Danyang is the Nine-Nine Mysterious Turtle. Even in the Taiji Sect, only you and I can unlock it. If others forcefully open it, the entire jade box will explode. It seems that the contents inside are extremely dangerous to Junior Brother Danyang. Pay attention to."

As he spoke, he moved his right hand continuously, and shot out a series of magic formulas. In a moment, there was a clear sound, and the jade box slowly opened. Daochong glanced around and saw the Qiqiao Exquisite Tower, Tiangang Sword, and Liuyun Flying Shuttle inside. , the Lost Soul Bell and other objects he naturally recognized. In addition, there was a jade slip and a round stone the size of an egg. Dao Chong looked at it carefully and was slightly moved. "It seems to be the crystal core of a transformed monster, junior brother." , look at it.”

The old man in black checked his consciousness and said with surprise, "Sure enough! The entire sect may not be able to find another thing like this!" Dao Chong picked up the jade slip again, and a ray of consciousness slowly penetrated it. , there was no expression on his face, he had enough tea time, sighed, and handed the jade slip to the old man in black, "Junior brother, you should also take a look."

The old man in black also used his spiritual sense to read it, gritted his teeth and said, "It is indeed the mastermind of the Demon Puppet Sect's thieves. This matter must not be let go!" Master Dao Chong said, "Let's consider this matter in the long term. You must be Shi Feng, right? ?" But he turned around and asked Shi Feng.

Shi Feng nodded and said, "You are just that." Daochong nodded and said, "You have traveled thousands of miles at such a young age. Thank you for your hard work." Shi Feng remembered something and took out the small bottle from his arms and said, "These pills They are also from Taoist Danyang." Master Daochong nodded and said, "Junior Brother Danyang has already said that these five Jingchen Pills are given to you. He is afraid that you are young and penniless, so if you get sick, It’s not easy to handle. It’s funny to say that this Jingchen Pill was originally a top-grade elixir for cultivators in the Danyang stage to improve their cultivation, but it took Junior Brother Danyang more than fifty years to obtain 5 of them, so they are extremely precious to mortals like you. If you eat it, you can get rid of all kinds of diseases, strengthen your muscles and bones, and be able to live without food for more than ten days."

The old man in black said, "Thankfully, he is a mortal and cannot stimulate the spiritual power in the pill. If he were a Qi Refiner, the medicinal power in this Jingchen Pill would be so pure that he would explode and die if he took one pill." "As he spoke, a trace of physical pain clearly flashed in his eyes. The Jingchen Pill was so rare. He had only gotten two pills in so many years. He took them when he was ready to hit the bottleneck. And this kid actually ate 5 Jingchen Pills as food, which makes him vomit blood just thinking about it.

Shi Feng murmured, "Young man, I don't know how precious this elixir is. Because I had a high fever, I accidentally ate one, and the remaining 4 original elixirs were given back." The old man in black stood up in shock. He stood up and said, "What? There are 4 more pills." Regardless of his superior demeanor, he came over and grabbed the vial. When he opened it, his wrinkled face burst into laughter and he said repeatedly, "Okay, okay. You did a good job."

Master Dao Chong asked in surprise, "How could you travel more than a thousand miles to reach Shigu Mountain without taking this elixir?" Shi Feng said, "It took me eight months to get there slowly." Chong listened to him and nodded secretly without saying that the journey was difficult.

Then he asked the old man in black, "Junior brother, what do you think Junior Brother Danyang should do with the entrustment before his death?" The old man in black shook his head and said, "I'm afraid this is inappropriate. This child has no spiritual roots and cannot realize the Tao. How can he be accepted into the inner sect?" ? Even if you and I agree, the head brother will never agree. I think he will be classified as an outer disciple, which can be regarded as an explanation to senior brother Danyang."

Master Dao Chong stroked his beard and muttered, "This son's family unfortunately lost their lives because of our Tai Chi Sect. At such a young age, he made a huge promise and traveled thousands of miles to return the relics of his junior brother to our Tai Chi Sect. It's a great achievement." The old man in black sneered, "How can the head brother change the ancestral rules so easily."

Master Dao Chong closed his eyes and meditated for a moment, then said, "Shi Feng, you are still staying in the Shanmen guest house and wait for the news."

Shi Feng didn't care whether he was accepted into the inner sect or not, but if he was kicked out of the Tai Chi Sect, he wouldn't know where he would end up. Although he was a little disappointed, he did not open his mouth to plead. He only bowed and left the bamboo hut.

Not far outside the bamboo house, Zhou Qing was waiting. Dao Chongzhen said inside, "Zhou Qing, please bring Shi Feng to the guest house and entertain him." Zhou Qing hurriedly bowed and said, "Yes, I will obey the order of the ancestor."

At that moment, Zhou Qing led Shi Feng back down the mountain and settled in the guest house at the foot of the mountain. However, because Master Daochong said "good hospitality", Zhou Qing was much more polite in his words.

This wait lasted for three days. On the morning of the fourth day, Zhou Qing led Shi Feng to Iron Sword Peak again. This time, he did not go to the Bamboo House, but went straight to the black hall in the middle. From a distance, I saw the majestic and solemn hall. When I came closer, I saw that the hall was black and red and translucent, and it seemed that the entire hall was cast from pig iron.

As soon as Shi Feng entered the main hall, his heart tightened. There were more than a hundred people standing in the dark room of the huge hall, tall, short, fat and thin, men, women and children. Among them were Taoist disciples and some dressed as laymen. Although there were many people, there was silence. The whole hall was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.

There is a row of statues in the middle of the hall. There are three big chairs under the statues. Dao Chongzhen is sitting in the middle. The old man in black is sitting on the right, but the chair on the left is empty. Along both sides of the palace door, there are two rows of chairs on the left and right, with about ten people sitting there, leaving an aisle in the middle. The other disciples in the main hall stood behind the dozen or so people, all looking at their hearts with their noses, with solemn expressions.

Zhou Qing led Shi Feng, stepped forward and bowed down, "Report to the Patriarch, Shi Feng has already brought him." After saying that, he bowed and retreated to the ranks of his disciples. Shi Feng hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed, "Greetings to all the immortal masters!". Taoist Dao Chong glanced at the crowd and said, "I have called you all together today to announce two things. One of them is the death of Master Danyang of Iron Sword Peak. Everyone is aware of this matter, but they don't know the cause... …..” The battle between Danyang Taoist Da Cangshan and the Demon Puppet Sect was briefly described, but some of the details were unclear.

After he finished speaking, he added, "The second thing is about the child Shi Feng. He was involved in my Tai Chi Sect and his family was ruined. He has no relatives. Junior Brother Danyang deeply regretted it before he passed away. And the child Shi Feng was only thirteen or fourteen years old. , traveled thousands of miles, endured all the hardships, and returned Junior Brother Danyang’s relics. Among other things, this Qiqiao Exquisite Tower is the magic weapon of our Iron Sword Peak Sect. It is the entire Taiji Sect and one of the four great artifacts. 1. Therefore, this kid Shi Feng has made great contributions to my Tai Chi Sect.”

As he said that, he said to Shi Feng in a warm voice, "Shi Feng, Junior Brother Danyang's last words were to ask Pindao to take you into his sect, are you willing?" At this time, Shi Feng already had a certain understanding of the monk, and he yearned for him, and even killed him. My family's Demon Puppet Sect is a major cultivation sect. If I don't join the Tai Chi Sect, how can I avenge myself? I kowtowed and said, "I am willing."

Dao Chong nodded and said, "You have no spiritual roots and cannot be admitted as an inner disciple. However, Junior Brother Danyang insisted on accepting you as an inner disciple in his last words. You have also made great achievements, so Pindao went to the inkstone in the past two days. Ling discussed with the head brother and, with his mercy, he took pity on your misfortune and agreed to accept you into the inner sect."

As soon as he finished speaking, some people below couldn't help but wonder. Without spiritual roots, you can't practice Taoism. You can only do chores in the outer sect. How can you be admitted into the inner sect? This can be regarded as a strange thing in Tai Chi Sect for hundreds of years.

After hearing this, the old man in black twitched the corner of his mouth: "Why should I be so kind to you? Senior brother, you have been arguing with me for three days, but I don't let you go at all. I only use the ancestral rules to excuse you." Later, he agreed to donate the demon crystal that transformed into a demon beast, and the leader immediately changed his tune. Huh, if you exchange a priceless demon crystal for a mortal with no spiritual roots, senior brother will lose everything in this transaction.

Master Dao Chong stood up, pointed at the statue behind him and said, "The one in the middle is Tai Chi Immortal, the founder of my Tai Chi sect. Next to him are all the heads of the past dynasties and sect sages. Come and bow and pay homage to the founder."

Shi Feng looked up and saw the five-foot-tall iron statue in the middle, a middle-aged Taoist priest with clear eyes and a long sword on his back, as elegant as flying. The several statues next to them are also dressed as Taoist priests and lay people, and all of them are extraordinary.

Shi Feng stepped forward and was about to kneel down to salute when the old man in black suddenly said, "Wait a minute, senior brother, you seem to have forgotten something." Master Daochong was stunned, "Junior brother, what's the matter?" The old man in black said, " Before all disciples can perform the apprenticeship ceremony, they still need to test their spiritual roots." Dao Chong was a little confused, "Shi Feng has no spiritual roots, and Junior Brother Danyang has already passed it. Even a few days ago, when you and I saw this child, we were all confused. I scanned it with my spiritual sense and found that this child indeed has no spiritual roots."

The old man in black smiled and said, "Senior brother, you and I have only glanced at it with our spiritual senses and have not studied it in depth. There are many strange physiques in the world. Why not use a spiritual root disk to test it carefully to avoid any omissions. You I can teach students according to their aptitude." Dao Chong changed his mind and understood what he meant. Junior Brother Zhao still felt sorry for the demon crystal. If Shi Feng detected spiritual roots or other mutated spirits, it would not be an exception, and the demon crystal would not be an exception. There is no need to hand it over to the boss.
