Sword Moon Lyrics

Chapter 14: Entering the mountain gate

Master Dao Chong thought for a while, and it was not a big deal to test his spiritual roots. Let's try his luck, and nodded, "Junior brother is right. Shi Feng, you don't have to panic. Spiritual root testing is a routine for entry-level disciples." But no matter what the test result is, Pindao will accept you as my disciple, don’t worry.” After saying that, he turned around and said, “Go and get the spiritual root plate.”

The Taoist boy standing next to him said yes and left the hall. After a while, he came back with a disk in his hand. Master Daochong flicked his sleeves, and a ray of white light fell on the disk. The disk buzzed and flew over. In mid-air, he stood slowly in front of Shi Feng. The disk was completely black, three feet in diameter, with a palm-shaped impression sunk in the middle. Along the impression, there were five small animals arranged in the five elements of gold, wood, water, fire and earth around it. The small animals and birds are the green dragon, white tiger, red bird, Xuanwu and Qilin. Outside these five divine beasts, there are blue round stones as big as soybeans, scattered and arranged in a certain talisman array.

Master Dao Chong said, "Shi Feng, this is the spiritual root disk. It is used to detect the attributes of the disciple's spiritual roots. Please put your right hand in the middle." Shi Feng followed the instructions, stretched out his right hand, and slowly explored the spiritual roots. In the middle of the plate, when the palm of the hand was still half a foot away from the spiritual root plate, the Dharma plate suddenly produced a suction force. Shi Feng was led forward, and his right hand was firmly pressed on the middle impression. He struggled hurriedly, but was stuck. It was dead and motionless.

Seeing Shi Feng's panic, the people around him snickered. Master Daochong said slowly, "Shi Feng, don't panic! Just keep calm, breathe evenly, and don't think about anything."

Shi Feng calmed down as he was told, slowed down his breathing, and eliminated distracting thoughts from his mind. The eyes of the whole hall were fixed on this spiritual root disk. For a long time, there was no response from the spiritual root disk. A look of disappointment appeared on the face of the old man in black. Daochong pointed at the real person, and the spiritual root disk returned to the size of a palm and flew back to the Taoist boy's hand.

Seeing everyone's expressions, Shi Feng knew that he really had no spiritual roots, and he was extremely disappointed in his heart. After all, he could not learn the magic of the gods, and it seemed that he could not avenge his mother and little sister.

Master Dao Chong comforted him, "My child, don't be sad. Pindao has said before that if you have spiritual roots or not, you will be accepted into the inner sect. Come and kowtow to the ancestor and pay homage."

Shi Feng said, "Yes!" Holding back his sadness, he kowtowed nine times in front of the Tai Chi Immortal statue. Master Dao Chong said with a loud voice, "Dao Chong, the twenty-third generation disciple of Tai Chi Sect, holds an Iron Sword Peak in his hand. Today he opens the ancestral hall. I would like to inform all the ancestors to accept Shi Feng as my inner disciple of Tai Chi Sect. I hope all generations will do so." The Patriarch protects him and helps him gain enlightenment early."

After finishing the eulogy, he turned to Shi Feng and said, "Shi Feng, from now on, you are the twenty-fifth generation disciple of my Taiji sect. All the people in this hall are your senior brothers. The few present here are your senior uncles and junior brothers Danyang." Unfortunately, the only monks in the Golden Core Stage of Iron Sword Peak are me and Junior Brother Zhao, who are your masters."

Shi Feng knelt down and kowtowed, "Disciple, kowtow to the two masters!"

Dao Chongzhen said, "You will gradually become familiar with other aspects of our sect. When the rules within the sect come up, someone will naturally tell you. Our Taiji sect has been established for thousands of years and is one of the five righteous sects in the Great Yan Kingdom. It has a strong reputation." . The founder of the sect, Taiji Zhenjun, flew to the upper world thousands of years ago and became an immortal being. In this country of Yan, only the founder has been able to ascend for thousands of years. You must practice diligently after entering the school, and you must not fall. It will increase the reputation of my Taiji Sect." Shi Feng naturally nodded in agreement.

When the old man in black heard the words "practice diligently", he couldn't help but curl his lips.

Master Dao Chong said, "When you entered the mountain, you saw the oral instruction left by the ancestor at the gate of the mountain. It is said that it is difficult to distinguish between the five elements, between good and evil, between internal and external, between right and wrong, and between love and hate. These two Although the ten words are not the secret of the practice, they are the general outline of the method for us ascetics. Right and wrong, good and evil, love and hate, love and hatred, are all difficult to distinguish. If we can understand the world's situation, we will not be far from the great road. "Shi Feng was naturally puzzled and just nodded repeatedly.

After Master Dao Chong finished speaking, he turned to the old man in black and said, "Shi Feng has already paid homage to his ancestor. Junior brother, do you think whose sect he should belong to?" The old man in black said hurriedly, "Shi Feng and senior brother Danyang are destined. He was also asked to take him under his sect, so he should naturally be included in the lineage of Senior Brother Danyang. "Master Dao Chong nodded and said, "What Junior Brother said is true." He looked at the middle-aged Taoist priest in the second row on the left and said. "Liu Yunzi."

The Taoist hurriedly stood up and said, "Disciple is here!" This Taoist was short in stature, with a pale complexion and a plain appearance. Master Dao Chong said, "You are Junior Brother Danyang's eldest disciple. This Shi Feng will be under your sect. Please teach him." Liu Yunzi was not very willing in his heart, but he could only say respectfully, "Yes, my disciple. Obey the Master's decree."

Dao Chong nodded and said to Shi Feng, "Shi Feng, this Liu Yunzi will be your master from now on. Come forward and salute." Shi Feng hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed, "Disciple Shi Feng pays homage to the master." Liu Yunzi said calmly. He nodded and said, "Get up."

Seeing that everything was over, Master Dao Chong flicked his sleeves and said, "Let's disperse." After a burst of blue light, the person disappeared. The old man in black followed closely behind him, but there was no trace of him.

As soon as the two Patriarchs left, the atmosphere in the hall suddenly became lively, and everyone was whispering to each other. The only people who had seats in the hall were the second-generation disciples who had already established the foundation. At this moment, they all stood up from their seats, and as usual, they turned towards Liu Yunzi. Congratulations, "Congratulations, congratulations." "Congratulations to Senior Brother Liu Yunzi for gaining a high disciple." "Good talent and good quality will definitely bring glory to the master's disciples."

Liu Yunzi didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He just bowed and led Shi Feng and his party out of the hall in a hurry. After leaving the hall, Liu Yunzi took out something from his arms. It was the Meteor Shuttle. The day before, Dao Chong had handed over some of Danyang Taoist's magic tools to him. The Meteor Shuttle grew in the wind and was three or four feet in size. Liu Yunzi said, "Let's go." He stepped on the shuttle first, and the disciples followed.

Shi Feng hesitated a little. He had seen Danyang Taoist soaring in the air on the shuttle. Although he envied it, if he stood on it and fell in the air, he would be smashed into a meat paste. Seeing his hesitation, Liu Yunzi was impatient and grabbed him and got on the shuttle. Then he played a magic formula, and the shuttle shot out.

Shi Feng said "ah", and he was taken away from the ground by the shuttle and rushed into the air quickly. He felt the mountain wind whistling and the clouds passing by his feet. Shi Feng's heart immediately rose to his throat, and at the same time he felt novel and exciting.

After a cup of tea, the shuttle landed on a small mountain on the east side of Tiejian Peak. Liu Yunzi collected the shuttle and led everyone into a room. The room was quite large, but the decoration was simple. Liu Yunzi sat on the chair in the middle and said, "You all sit down."

There were no extra chairs in the room, so everyone had to sit on the floor. Liu Yunzi pointed one by one and said, "Shi Feng, this is your eldest brother Changqing, second brother Zhang Yuanqing, third sister Xiangying, fourth brother Xianghua, fifth sister Zhang Peijun, sixth brother Zhou Qing, you are the seventh."

Zhou Qing was the young man who had led Shi Feng up the mountain before, and he was the sixth in Liu Yunzi's sect. Among the other five people, Xiangying and Zhang Peijun were two young and beautiful women. Among the disciples, only Changqing and Xianghua were dressed as Taoist priests, and the others were dressed in layman's clothes.

Shi Feng bowed one by one and greeted the six senior brothers and sisters. The eldest senior brother Changqing was quite tall and looked to be in his thirties. He said, "Seventh Junior Brother, don't be polite. We are all family from now on. If you have anything to say, just say hello." Shi Feng hurriedly thanked him.

Liu Yunzi said, "Master, I only briefly talked about the murder of our late master, Danyang Zhenren. Now, Shi Feng, please tell me in detail." Shi Feng said, "Yes." He immediately told the details of what happened on Lushou Peak that night. He didn't understand some details, so he could only roughly describe the situation at that time.

The fourth disciple Xiang Hua was a Taoist priest, but he was dark and fat, and had the most violent temper. After hearing this, he couldn't help but say, "How come the sect didn't make any move when the Demon Puppet Sect did this? The master is a great cultivator in the Golden Core Stage, so could he just let it go?" Liu Yunzi sneered and said, "How can you, the Qi Refining disciples, know whether there was any movement or not! In fact, not long after the master was killed, Fairy Ying from Lingxiao Pavilion, who was traveling with the master, came to our Taiji Sect and told us about the encounter with the Demon Puppet Sect on the way. She was entangled by an elder of the Demon Puppet Sect and had a hard fight before she got away. She didn't know the situation of the master at that time. Later, the sect We negotiated with the Demon Puppet Sect, but the Demon Puppet Sect also lost a Jindan-stage elder, and they also asked us to give an explanation. After a lot of wrangling, it ended up in vain.

The disciples were silent for a while, and Liu Yunzi said, "Okay, let's not talk about this first. The Demon Puppet Sect is not weaker than our Taiji Sect. If you want to take revenge, wait until you form a Jindan. Changqing, you are the eldest brother, you settle the seventh brother. Everyone else go back and study hard. There will be a small competition in the sect in another year. Don't embarrass your master." The disciples responded in unison, left the house, said a few words to Shi Feng, and dispersed.

Changqing led Shi Feng, pointed to the mountainside below, and said, "Seventh Junior Brother, you pick a place to live first. This mountain is where the master's cave is. The master has only a few of us disciples, and there are plenty of empty houses."

Shi Feng saw that along the mountainside, there were some sparse corners of houses, which were quite far apart. It seems that all cultivators like to be alone and are afraid of being disturbed. Shi Feng said, "I don't care. Brother, just help me choose one." Chang Qing said, "Although Yuxiu Mountain is not big, the spiritual energy is still sufficient. However, I don't practice martial arts, so the spiritual energy doesn't matter. I think we should go to the one at the bottom of the slope. The mountain is gentle there, and it's convenient for you to go up and down." Shi Feng said, "Very good." At that moment, Chang Qing led him all the way. Shi Feng asked, "I see that Master has a magic weapon that can fly in the air. Brother, why don't you use it? Why do you have to walk step by step?" Chang Qing smiled and said, "Flying with a weapon is a magical power that only foundation-building cultivators have. How can we, the disciples of Qi Refining, do it? But if we use the levitation talisman or the light body magic, we can barely fly a little distance in the air." As the two talked, they came to the house. The house didn't look big from a distance, but when they got closer, it turned out to be a small courtyard with three rooms, a meditation room, sealed with fine iron on all four sides, a bamboo house for meeting guests and resting, and another one was empty, presumably arranged by the owner. There was a well-maintained field in front of the courtyard, with weeds growing everywhere.

Changqing said, "Brother Guo used to live here and liked to grow medicinal herbs. After he left, it became deserted. Junior brother, do you think it's satisfactory?" Shi Feng had been wandering for almost a year, eating one meal a day and then eating the next. Now he suddenly settled down, and the house was so big, which was beyond his expectation. He nodded and said, "Thank you, senior brother, let's stay here."

Changqing said, "Okay, let's go to the Deacon Hall to get things first." As he said that, he led Shi Feng down the mountain.

This Changqing was obviously a chatterbox, with more saliva than tea, and he kept talking all the way to introduce Shi Feng.

The Deacon Hall is on a hillside to the west of Iron Sword Peak, not very far from the mountain gate. There are many people coming and going here. Chang Qing walked all the way to the innermost inner hall. In the hall, an old man was closing his eyes to meditate. Qing shouted, "Lao Yue, Lao Yue, why can't you wake up all day long?" The old man hurriedly opened his eyes and saw that it was Chang Qing, and said angrily, "You still have the nerve to say that today the boss said that you have iron swords?" Feng has a new inner disciple who specifically asked me to wait here, but you didn’t come after waiting for a long time. "

Chang Qing smiled and said, "You talk so much nonsense, why don't you just want some benefits? You're lucky, I just happened to have a lot of Silver Ring Grass that I picked last time. I'll give you a bottle of Qi Replenishing Liquid when it comes out." Lao Yue immediately beamed and said, "Senior Brother Changqing is famous for his generosity. Thank you very much." He took out a small bag from under the table and said, "Everything is in it. Senior Brother Changqing, would you like to check it out."

Changqing took it and said, "What are you looking for? They are all worthless things. Let's go!" He led Shi Feng back to Yuxiu Mountain.

After entering Shi Feng's new residence, Changqing put the bag on the table and said, "Junior brother, this is called a storage bag. It can store items, but this is just the crudest storage bag, just a few daily things. That's it. This thing requires magic power to open." He raised his hand and hit it with a magic spell.

The white light flashed, and there was a jade tablet, a green shirt, a wooden sword and a black-covered book on the table.

Changqing picked up the jade plate and said, "This is the most important thing. It is your identity plate. You must put a drop of blood into it."

"Essence and blood, dripping in?" Shi Feng was confused.

Chang Qing said, "It's very simple. Just find a knife, cut your finger casually, and smear the blood on the jade plaque. I'll look for the knife in the house."

Shi Feng said, "Senior Brother, there is no need to look for it, I have a dagger on me." He is an Orion and has a dagger hidden all year round. He immediately took out the dagger from his arms, pierced the middle finger of his left hand, and squeezed a drop of blood onto the jade plaque. The blood droplet reflected on the jade plaque and disappeared after a whirl. The jade plaque remained as smooth and clean as before.

Chang Qing said, "Okay, this jade token will be the proof of your identity from now on. You need to carry it everywhere you go in and out of the door. You also need this thing to use the sect's teleportation array. Inner sect disciples can use any teleportation array at will." Yes, you have to put it away carefully and don't lose it." After saying that, he picked up the piece of clothing and said, "This piece of clothing also has the inner disciple's mark on it. It does not need to be washed and is not afraid of water or fire."

Shi Feng reached out and touched it, and it felt the same as ordinary linen clothes. Chang Qing said, "As for the remaining two things, they are of little use. This wooden sword is given to all disciples at the beginning. It is just the lowest-grade magical weapon."
