It is covered with white snow, and clouds and smoke linger among the five Qingxuan peaks. Many rays of light of different colors shuttle out of the quiet clouds and smoke, scattering the smoke and creating beautiful colorful traces in the sky.
These colorful marks were of different colors and intertwined with each other, which actually gave the solitary sect a bit of excitement. Qingxuan had not experienced any excitement in a long time.
The reason why the Taoist himself is lonely and quiet is also because of the loneliness of Qingxuan himself.
Tianyuan and Zifu peaks have the least amount of light escaping, but these two peaks are the residences of the truly powerful Qingxuan people. The rest of the disciples from Qingliang and Yuyang peaks all used magical weapons. Qingliang was the lower courtyard and there were only a few people in total. Yuyang was the upper courtyard and there were so many people that most of them went in groups.
In fact, the total number of people was less than a hundred and fifty, but it really didn't look like what one of the four great sects should have.
Either the light escapes, or the clouds fall in front of the Qingxuan Hall, transforming into different men and women, one after another from the Qingxuan Sect. They all have different clothes, and only a few are actually wearing Taoist uniforms.
These people filed in, some with old faces and immortal faces; there were also young men and women with charming charms. The older one may not be the teacher, the younger one may have disciples under his command. Most of the truly brilliant cultivators, even when they are old, look to be under forty, and spend some energy on their appearance. Even if they are hundreds of years old and look like virgins, it is normal.
However, most monks don't pay too much attention to appearance and let things take their own course. As long as they have deep magic power, they can naturally delay aging.
The old-looking monks who return the elixir are usually late in returning the elixir. In order to preserve the essence and blood, they use the technique of hiding the qi and blood to make themselves look decayed. They don't bother to correct it until after the elixir is returned. The reason why it is necessary to preserve the essence and blood is because Huandan is the Yin Shen holding Qi. This Qi is not only the Qi of cultivation, but also includes one's own blood Qi, essence and innate vitality. If the Qi is insufficient, it will not be enough for the Yin Shen to hold it.
Therefore, some monks refuse to give up the hope of repaying their elixir until the end of time. They usually hide their energy and blood to make themselves look old, but in fact they have hidden vitality.
Compared with the elders who have achieved the level of returning elixirs, there are more ordinary disciples who have not yet achieved the level of returning elixirs. Among them, there are more than ten times more disciples in the upper courtyard than in the lower courtyard. However, counting the disciples at the level of "supernatural transformation", there are only more disciples in the upper courtyard than in the lower courtyard. There were more than ten people, and this was because the total number of Qingxuan lower courtyard disciples was only ten.
The disciples of the Lower Court who can come in have much better predispositions and qualifications than those of the Upper Court. More than a hundred years ago, before the great changes in Qingxuan, most of the monks who were above the sixth level of Huandan came from the Lower Court.
This is because many disciples of the Lower Court came from somewhere, being pulled by forces that they were not even aware of. Occasionally, there are even disciples of the Lower Court who were actually immortals and Buddhas in a certain life.
For example, from Qingxuan to the Patriarch of the Yuan and Qing Dynasties, in terms of seniority, it can be counted as far as thirty-three generations. There have been a total of forty immortal immortals, of which about six or seven were most likely earth immortals and ghost immortals many lives ago. Such as this, just because after reincarnation many times, it is difficult to understand the mystery of the womb, no longer remember the previous life, and become a new and independent person.
Even if such a character later retrieves the memory of his past life, the interference from his past life will be much less likely.
If Qingxuan declines and falls out of the Four Great Dao Sects, his luck will decline even more, and many spiritual and intelligent Taoist talents may not come to Qingxuan in a matter of seconds.
There is a reason why the House of Commons only takes ten people at a time, because ten is the end of the number and the perfection of things. It is also one of the oldest symbols in the world and has the meaning of perfection.
The reason for accepting disciples once every fifty years is that the number of Dayan is 'fifty', and the original meaning of 'Dayan' is to evolve the changes in the world. The number of Dayan is the number used to deduce everything in the world.
Based on the evolution of world affairs in fifty years, it can be said that things have evolved to the extreme to obtain the "ten people". We can also get a glimpse of how natural and lofty the rules set by the founders of the Yuan and Qing Dynasties are. At the same time, it reflects that the founders of the Yuan and Qing Dynasties have to do their best when doing things. The Taoists who adhere to it and make full use of it are not as good as themselves. ; If you pick it up and sharpen it, it will not last long. A house full of gold and jade cannot be guarded by anyone; if you are arrogant and wealthy, you will be blamed for it. After success and retirement, there are inconsistencies in the way of heaven and its will.
As for the measures of "opening the mountain gate" and setting up "inquiry of mind" for this purpose, they are just a modification of its long-term layout.
These mysteries were all understood only after Shen Lian obtained the teaching inheritance. It's just that all the sect leaders in the past generations knew it in their hearts and didn't need to explain it to outsiders.
Compared with the time when Chen Jianmei held the law, there are now five more elixir returning elders, but none of them returns the elixir on their own. The five newly promoted elixir returning elders are only at the fourth level of elixir returning at best.
Shen Lian sensed this information in an instant. Of course, it was not that he used his spiritual thoughts, but the feedback from the Heaven and Earth Mirror. The Heaven and Earth Mirror is like a radar, feeding back the different spiritual energy fluctuations around him in his heart. Of course, if there is no spiritual power, it will not appear in Shen Lian's mind. If the spiritual power is too low, it will be automatically filtered out.
There are many mysteries of the Heaven and Earth Mirror, and Shen Lian has only experienced one of them now, which is already a lot more convenient.
This magic weapon cannot be completely refined by him. He must use the leader's mark as a token to partially refine it and master its power. Naturally, there is no magic weapon that is completely integrated with the heart and soul, so he can use it as he wants.
Because if a magic weapon is imprinted too deeply, it will be difficult to pass it on to the next person.
Moreover, a magic weapon is different from a magic weapon. It already has a spirit in itself and can be regarded as an independent living being.
Therefore, no matter how powerful a magic weapon is, it cannot be considered a magic weapon if it cannot transform spirituality into true spiritual wisdom and give birth to autonomous consciousness.
The leader's mark is like a token that can be easily recognized by the Heaven and Earth Mirror. This recognition is firmly engraved when it is born and becomes a creed that is difficult to break.
Shen Lian stood beside the headmaster, with a red mark between his eyebrows, shining like cinnabar.
Standing calmly in the main hall, his long hair tied into a Taoist bun was scattered behind him, showing the Taoist's remoteness, and the mysterious and profound aura on his body was revealed without any concealment.
Qingxuan Hall is long and empty, as if it can accommodate no matter how many people there are, and its internal space can be extended. After Shen Lian received the seal, he realized that it was also a psychic artifact.
Although he had seen the formation of Qingxuan Palace from the memories of the ancestors of the Yuan and Qing Dynasties, over the past ten thousand years, Qingxuan Palace has evolved into a top-notch magical weapon with the changes of inspiration and the guidance of successive generations of masters, and has given birth to Spirituality.
Invisibly, Shen Lian was integrated with Qingxuan Palace, regardless of each other, like a fish in water.
