The Sword Master God's Journey to Face Slapping

Walking on the winding path up the mountain, Xuanyuan discovered that Yuquan Mountain not only had beautiful scenery, green trees and blooming wild flowers, but also that the path along the way was not as desolate as imagined, and it was not completely untouched. It can be seen that there are still traces of people walking frequently.

In fact, this is not surprising. Although Xuanzheng Temple is secluded, their daily life is not completely detached from the world. Whether it is daily food and clothing or meditation, they need all kinds of supplies. Xuanzheng Temple is trapped on Yuquan Mountain, so it is naturally impossible to produce these supplies by itself, and it still has to buy them from the foot of the mountain.

What makes Xuanyuan feel even more interesting and interesting is that the things Xuanzheng Temple arranged on Yuquan Mountain to prevent others from going up the mountain are not the Eight Diagrams and Five Elements, the Four Symbols and Two Principles. It sounds high-end, but it is actually a formation that confuses people by changing directions, but a superficial trick.

Although this eye-smoke was very crude in Xuanyuan's eyes, not only was it simple in function but it was also very easy to break, and it could be said to be extremely useless, but it was undeniable that this eye-smoke did attract some meager spiritual energy from the heaven and earth, and could be regarded as a serious cultivation array.

This made Xuanyuan feel quite strange, and he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and ponder for a while. Although this world had spiritual energy from the heaven and earth, it was very shallow. Logically speaking, the number of people with spiritual roots and cultivation talents should be very small. According to Xuanyuan's observation of this world, no civilization similar to cultivation was born in this world.

In a world without cultivation civilization, a real eye-smoke with spiritual energy suddenly appeared out of nowhere, which made Xuanyuan a little interested - but unfortunately, when Xuanyuan walked along the mountain path to Xuanzheng Temple on the mountain, he had almost figured out why this Taoist art of eye-smoke appeared inexplicably in this world, and this interest naturally disappeared without a trace.

The reason for the appearance of the eye-smoke was nothing else, the so-called "book-crosser". Since this world naturally belongs to the type of world A and is easy to resonate with other worlds, there are naturally many people who have traveled from other worlds from ancient times to the present. These people may come from the future modern society like the book-crosser who replaced Zhu Youxuan, or they may come from the cultivation world with cultivation civilization.

"It seems that Xuanzheng Temple is most likely the Taoist tradition and inheritance left by a "book-crosser" who carries the Taoist method of cultivation." Xuanyuan put his hands behind his back and walked up the steps along the mountain road calmly. The light green long gown was blown by the mountain breeze passing through the forest, and the sleeves fluttered and surging. "But unfortunately, the spiritual energy in this world is thin and it is not suitable for Taoist practice. These practitioners are afraid that they are not very successful."

If Xuanzheng Temple is really the inheritance left by the book-crosser from the cultivation world, then it is normal for Xuanzheng Temple to be respected as the leader of Taoism and worshipped by the court and the world. After all, Xuanzheng Temple really has mastered some Taoist techniques. Although they are very superficial, Taoist techniques are Taoist techniques, which are beyond the reach of ordinary people.

Mastering the true Taoist techniques and cultivation methods, even if the level is so crude that Xuanyuan is too lazy to even take a look, it is still a divine method for ordinary people in this world, and it is normal to win the respect and praise of the world. At least it is not a pretentious trick -

Well, before seeing the sleight of hand, Xuanyuan always thought that Xuanzheng Temple was just an ordinary Taoist temple for pure cultivation. The reason why they became famous was because they were forcibly put on the altar by the emperor's edict. Although this may not be the original intention of Xuanzheng Temple, Xuanyuan thinks that putting Xuanzheng Temple on the altar is purely deceiving the world.

But now, at least Xuanyuan's doubts have been dispelled, letting him know that things are not as bad as he thought. Xuanzheng Temple is really capable, and the sleight of hand arranged in Yuquan Mountain is also real and effective. It is actually very simple to go up the mountain under the obstruction of the sleight of hand. You only need to have the bones of practicing Taoism. This formation is actually one of the methods used by Xuanzheng Temple to select disciples.

The news that Xuanyuan passed through the sleight of hand and went up the mountain not only attracted the attention and uproar of the people in the town at the foot of the mountain, but also was a groundbreaking news for Xuanzheng Temple, which stood on Yuquan Mountain. It soon attracted the attention of Changyi Zhenren, the master of Xuanzheng Temple.

It was not that Xuanzheng Temple was making a fuss. As Xuanyuan said, the spiritual energy in this world was thin, and there was not much soil to nourish the civilization of cultivation. There were very few people with the qualifications for cultivation. For Xuanzheng Temple, every disciple was precious. Once a qualified person appeared, they would try to accept a disciple to strengthen Xuanzheng Temple.

Climbing up the steps, Xuanyuan finally stood in front of the gate of Xuanzheng Temple. Looking back from the gate, he saw that the Taoist temple located in the deep mountains only showed a corner of blue bricks and white tiles under the shade of lush trees. It was located in the unknown deep mountains, isolated from the world, surrounded by clouds and mist, and had a sense of being far away from the world.

The gate of Xuanzheng Temple was not very majestic and magnificent. There were only Taoists in the temple, so there were no Taoists guarding the gate or receptionists. Standing in front of the gate, Xuanyuan raised his hand and planned to knock on the door to call the Taoists in the temple to open the door. However, before his bent fingers fell on the wooden door, the closed Taoist door opened spontaneously.

But after Xuanyuan triggered the deception arranged on the mountain, Changyi Zhenren, who was in the temple on the top of the mountain, got the news and immediately came to the gate of the temple with a boy to greet him. This was not because Xuanzheng Temple was too attentive, or Changyi Zhenren knew that Xuanyuan was extraordinary and came to please him, but because... there were really not many people in Xuanzheng Temple.

Because the number of people with cultivation talents is very small, and it is very difficult to find them, the total number of disciples of Xuanzhengguan is only more than ten. It is really desolate that there are only three or two big cats and four or five kittens. With such a declining population, when Master Chang Yi discovered that another person with cultivation qualifications appeared, wouldn't he be so excited that he went out to greet him?

The door opened, and a Taoist priest who was still young, with black hair and a ruddy face and looked much more energetic than the average middle-aged man appeared in front of Xuan Yuan. He was smiling, obviously very happy, and he was in high spirits. He said in a voice: "I am a poor Taoist, the master of the Zhengguan Temple is Chang Yi. I wonder what the young master wants when he goes up the mountain." Do you want to become a master?

Master Chang Yi endured it, and finally swallowed back the second half of the sentence with great difficulty. This topic of apprenticeship was really not suitable to be discussed as soon as they met. Anyway, he would run to Yuquan Mountain and try to climb up the mountain, because he had something in his heart. People who respect Xuanzhengguan very much and long for Xuanzhengguan to save them will naturally be convinced and obey when Master Changyi shows up to solve their troubles and problems. When the time comes, it will be much easier to talk about becoming a disciple.

Glancing at Master Chang Yi with a calm gaze, Xuan Yuan discovered that his cultivation level was almost at the fifth level of Qi refining. To be honest, this cultivation level was not worth mentioning to Xuan Yuan, but considering this world In an environment with thin spiritual energy, the fact that Master Chang Yi can cultivate to such an extent shows that he is truly dedicated to the Tao and works hard. Not to mention his cultivation, his determination alone is already extraordinary.

In response to the inquiry from Master Chang Yi, Xuan Yuan did not hesitate and said bluntly and calmly: "It is said that no matter where the Taoist temple or temple is in the world, all people are willing to do good and are willing to provide accommodation to scholars all over the world. Therefore, I am here to borrow money." living."

"???" The smile on Chang Yi's face froze. He looked at Xuan Yuan blankly, feeling that he just said something that he didn't understand at all. It was not, borrowing something, talking to Xuan Zheng. Does it matter? Although Xuanzhengguan is indeed a Taoist temple, it stands to reason that it will provide help to scholars——

As long as a small amount of offerings is provided, living in a Taoist temple is cheaper and cleaner than living in an inn. Scholars who travel around the world or go to Beijing to take exams will do this. This is a tacit understanding between scholars all over the world and these people from outside the country. Scholars take this By making a profit, people outside the country can also build good relationships with people in the scholarly community, which will also give them an extra boost.

But the problem is, those who try to climb Yuquan Mountain are here to seek immortality. How could someone climb the mountain not to ask for elixirs or medicine, nor for wealth and power, but just say that they are here to stay? of? Changyi, who had been watching Xuanzheng for decades but was the first to encounter such a situation, was stunned. He looked at Xuanyuan blankly, forgetting how to react for a moment, and the smile froze on his face, looking a little... ridiculous.

Although the expression on his face was dull, in fact, Chang Yi's inner thoughts were very confusing. He almost couldn't help but roared and asked Xuan Yuan without any manners: So in your heart, Xuan Zhengguan and other temples and Taoist temples that provide accommodation There's no difference, right? !

"This is my offering. I plan to borrow it from Qiu Wei at the Taoist temple. Is it okay?" Pretending not to see Chang Yi's distorted expression, Xuanyuan took out a gold ingot from his sleeve. This was a gold ingot he had collected from other worlds. When he came, the logo and pattern on the ingot had been erased by him, and it was just an ordinary gold ingot.

Under Xuan Yuan's words, Master Chang Yi finally came to life and was no longer in a daze. He took the gold ingot handed over by Xuan Yuan with a reluctant expression. He felt as if thousands of wild horses were roaring past in his heart. He could barely hold on. With the expression of a worldly expert, he forced a smile and said: "Of course."

If Xuan Yuan hadn't been a talented person in cultivation, he would have wanted to blow him away. For so many years, Chang Yi, a real person, among a group of people who wanted to go to Yuquan Mountain and enter the Xuan to observe various things, there was no one like Xuan Yuan who painted This is the first time that Feng Qingqi only wants to live with Qi Pa, and he feels inexplicably disappointed.
