The Sword Master God's Journey to Face Slapping

After leaving the Qin family, Xuanyuan did not really go to the Imperial College to study or temporarily move to the Imperial College as he had said to Lord Qin and Madam Qin - he did intend to leave home temporarily, but compared to the Imperial College, Xuanyuan would naturally choose to temporarily live in a Taoist temple, so he decided to temporarily live in the Taoist temple from the beginning.

After leaving the Qin Mansion, Xuanyuan went straight to Yuquan Mountain, located in the western suburbs of the city. On the top of Yuquan Mountain, where the forests are dense, there stands a Taoist temple called Xuanzheng Temple. This Taoist temple is very famous in this country, and the master of the temple was even canonized as the master of protecting the country, and was worshipped and obeyed by the court.

However, although Xuanzheng Temple is very famous, the incense is very unpopular, and there are even few people all year round, and there are few visitors. The reason for this situation is that all the people in Xuanzheng Temple are hermits who practice Taoism. Xuanzheng Temple does not care about entering the world, and has little connection with all the existence in the world. It hides in the mountains and develops the Taoist concept of purity and inaction to the extreme.

Another reason why Xuanzheng Temple is sparsely populated is that the Taoist priests of Xuanzheng Temple set up the Bagua formation at the foot of Yuquan Mountain. Unless you can pass through the formation to go up the mountain, you will be received as a distinguished guest by Xuanzheng Temple. Otherwise, if you can't pass the formation, it will be in vain to wander around Yuquan Mountain for several years.

Therefore, the title of the Grand Master of Protecting the Country bestowed on the master of Xuanzheng Temple by the court is simply the court and the royal family's self-entertainment, and it is their self-righteous reward.

Xuanzheng Temple did not accept this reward at all. In the eyes of these hermit Taoist priests in Xuanzheng Temple, this reward is meaningless at all. They may not even know about this matter. The worship and yearning of the world have always been meaningless to them.

He chose Xuanzheng Temple on Yuquan Mountain as his temporary residence. First, Xuanzheng Temple is a retreat from the world, and only emphasizes pure cultivation. The Taoist temple must be very quiet, and it would be very comfortable to live here. Before solving the matter of Zhu Youxuan, Xuanyuan planned to live on Yuquan Mountain all the time. Second, Xuanyuan also planned to let the master of Xuanzheng Temple "read his fate" for him.

As for why he asked the master to "read his fate"? That's naturally because the master of Xuanzheng Temple has a very high reputation in the world, and what he said will definitely be regarded as true. No matter what he said, many people will believe it unconditionally. That's right, what Xuanyuan wants to do is actually what is commonly known as forgery.

As for whether Xuanzheng Temple is willing to let him stay in the temple temporarily, whether the master is willing to help him "read his fate" and forge for him, is this matter up to Xuanzheng Temple? Of course not, this matter has been decided by Xuanyuan from beginning to end. If you want to ask why, it is naturally because he is strong enough. No matter what kind of existence Xuanzheng Temple is, it has to bow its head and follow Xuanyuan's instructions.

When he left the Qin Mansion, Xuan Yuan had nothing except the scholar's blue shirt he was wearing. He did not ride a horse, nor did he take a carriage or a sedan chair to Yuquan Mountain. He just walked steadily along the bustling streets towards the West Gate, passing by the people who were bustling and alive in this world. He was clearly in the crowd, but he seemed to be outside.

The divine consciousness spread out, covering the entire land. Xuan Yuan was carefully observing and studying the basic structure and core of this world. This world is very interesting. First of all, for the book-crosser, this world is just a fictional world in a book. Secondly, for Xuan Yuan, this world is a fictional world in another book that also wrote the book-crosser.

So do you think the essence of this world is a book? Is it a world created and fictionalized by people's imagination? Of course not, this world also exists in reality, and the people living in this world are also real and vivid, there is no fiction.

The "book" of the book is actually a record of a certain period of history in this world, or a manifestation of the experience of the Son of Heaven in a certain period of time.

Let the world in the book be recorded as World A. Then, after World A has some connection with other worlds, the things that really happened in World A and the time that was really experienced will resonate with Worlds B, C, and D, and the result of this resonance may be the birth of a carrier that records these things and time in Worlds B, C, and D.

In the resonance of the two worlds, occasionally some people with shallow souls will be attracted from their own world to World A, because they have read novels in their own world that record some of the real experiences and real time of World A, and will soon take it for granted that they have traveled to the fictional world in the book, and all the existences they face are false and soulless NPCs.

It is not easy to resonate with other worlds. World A is special, but among thousands of worlds, there are not many worlds like World A, but there are not few. The reason why we say there are not many is that among the tens of millions of worlds, the number of world A is less than one in ten thousand, and the probability is very low. The reason why we say there are many is that the total number of worlds is too huge, so the number of accumulated world A is naturally not small.

The world where Qin Xiumao is located is a type of world A. Xuanyuan has not studied the reasons for the formation of world A very carefully, but the general conditions can still be guessed. World A must be very close to the surrounding worlds, and the rules of the world itself are flawed, so it is very easy to resonate with the surrounding worlds.

Such a world, placed in the world of cultivation, is actually the most suitable carrier for refining mustard seed space. The Mustard Seed Space used by Xuan Yuan was refined by the ancient immortals from a world that had long since fallen and perished. Although the name is called the Mustard Seed Space, it is indeed a world, a world that belongs to the owner alone.

It's a pity that Xuan Yuan's mustard space was wasted by him as a storage ring, and it didn't have the domineering and power that Yifang World should have. Because he also had a Mustard Seed Dimension, even if Xuan Yuan knew that the world he was stepping on could be refined into a Mustard Seed Seed Dimension, he was not too tempted. He just couldn't help but think: In this type of world, most life spans would be much shorter.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but sigh. No matter how short the time in a world is, it is calculated in billions of years. This is really not that short. At least the people living in this world are not able to detect this. The world is so flawed that there is nothing to care about.

On the way to Yuquan Mountain, Xuan Yuan stopped after studying the world for a while. Since he had no idea of ​​refining this world into a mustard space, it would be enough after satisfying his curiosity. There was no need to think too much. With this idea in mind, Xuan Yuan came to the foot of Yuquan Mountain.

Xuanzhengguan, located on the top of Yuquan Mountain, is indeed sparsely populated and deserted. Few people can go up the mountain to visit the temple. However, the forest at the foot of Yuquan Mountain that is not within the scope of Xuanzhengguan is very lively. There are even villages, teahouses, and inns here. There are many shops and restaurants, and all these businesses rely on the bustling flow of people in Yuquan Mountain for their livelihood.

The reason why there is such a lively and prosperous situation at the foot of Yuquan Mountain is simple. Xuanzhengguan has a very high prestige in the whole world, and most people in the world highly respect and believe in it. This is a place that many people yearn for. There is a kind of "meanness" inherent in human nature. The more unavailable, mysterious and rare it is, the more yearning it is and the more eager it is to try.

Therefore, the more Xuanzhengguan became more reclusive and reclusive, he even used formations to cover the Taoist temple to prevent others from going up the mountain. However, every day at the foot of Yuquan Mountain, people who thought they were destined to Xuanzhengguan and could break through the formations and go up the mountain tried to break through the formations. . After more than a hundred years, Yuquan Mountain, where Xuanzheng Temple is located, has become more than just an ordinary mountain peak where a Taoist temple is located. It has been deified into a place of pilgrimage.

When Xuan Yuan arrived at the foot of Yuquan Mountain, it was not yet noon. The town at the foot of the mountain was extremely lively. The merchants stationed here were always busy with business, because there were always people coming to Yuquan with various reasons and purposes. At the foot of the mountain, people are trying their best to go up the mountain and seek something from Xuanzheng Temple. Although in the past hundred years, not many people have really gotten what they want.

The foot of Yuquan Mountain is very lively, but it is not all happy and joyful. People come to Yuquan Mountain from all over the world. Some of them are simply dreaming of seeking immortality and asking for immortality. But most of them are carrying their dreams. When they came, they asked for all kinds of things, including wealth, fame, profit... and also life. If you stay in the small town at the foot of Yuquan Mountain for a while, you will be able to experience all the joys and sorrows in this world.

Xuanyuan did not stop at the town at the foot of the mountain, but followed the mountain road behind the town to prepare to go up to Yuquan Mountain. It is spring at this time, and the bright sunshine is shining down. The Yuquan Mountain is full of greenery, with new buds and leaves, lush trees and blooming spring flowers. It is a lively and fresh natural scenery. Starting from the mountainside, the clouds and mist come from nowhere. The winding shrouds the mountain peaks, surrounding Yuquan Mountain.

There are only one mountain path winding up on Yuquan Mountain. When Xuan Yuan walked to the small town, he found that there were many pedestrians trying to go up the mountain on the mountain path, including richly dressed and dignified high-ranking people, and some with big bellies. , businessmen who smelled of copper, as well as seekers with their Taoist robes dusting in the dust and smelling of mist, and many poor people in ragged clothes and poverty who came to ask for help.

Xuan Yuan looked at these people with cold eyes, no emotion in his eyes. What's the use of these people begging here? If the Xuanzheng Sect can save the world, why should they hide in the world? The Xuanzheng sect can only maintain its own integrity, so how can it have the ability to benefit the world at the same time?

When it comes to matters in this world, it is useless to ask for help. There is no being who is born with the responsibility of saving the world. Therefore, the only thing that can save yourself in the end is to ask for help from yourself. No matter how good the kindness and help of others is, it is still given by others. If others do not take it back, you still have nothing. Only when you truly grasp and truly own it is the right thing to do.

Without much emotion in his eyes, Xuan Yuan went straight to the mountain path up the mountain. This mountain road was winding, with bushes on both sides of the road and wild flowers everywhere. It looked very common, but the pedestrians walking on this mountain path were... It's like meeting a ghost and hitting a wall. After walking up a few hundred meters, you can no longer take an inch. As you walk, you go down the mountain inexplicably, forever blocked under the clouds and mist.

Obviously when you look up you can see the clouds and mist lingering halfway up the mountain, but no one can cross the height of more than a thousand meters. After climbing up the mountain for less than a few hundred meters, it inexplicably retreats, as if it is trapped in some kind of Among the wonderful formations, I was unknowingly affected and lost my way.

When Xuan Yuan walked up the mountain along the mountain path, he was inconspicuous among the people. Although he was wearing a very luxurious green shirt, there were many dignitaries at the foot of Yuquan Mountain, and no one noticed him until he seemed to be nothing. Just like normal mountain climbing, after stepping into the clouds and mist, the pilgrims who climbed the mountain suddenly woke up: someone went to Yuquan Mountain and had the opportunity to enter the mysterious world!

"Your Highness, Prince Rui, someone has climbed up Yuquan Mountain." In an elegant and luxurious courtyard at the foot of Yuquan Mountain, the spy who hurried back knelt down in the hall and reported with a trembling voice.

At the head of the hall, a young man who was reading an ancient book with his eyes downcast raised his head slightly and put down the ancient book in his hand. This man had sword-like eyebrows, star-like eyes, a straight nose and thin lips. He was handsome and noble, with a bit of the arrogance of the royal family. He frowned slightly and asked in a cold voice: "Who is it?"
