Pine Forest Sword School
clang clang clang
A melodious bell sounded slowly from the top of the mountain.
Lin Xin was standing on a small boat with a red flower sword on his back, and the Mingshui River was flowing slowly, just like when he left.
"Master, what is the purpose of our coming to the sect this time?" There was another person on the boat, with handsome features, who looked like a girl, but he was a boy.
"Huaying, this may be the place where you will live for a long time in the future." Lin Xin said softly, looking at the Zongmen mountain, recalling his life here.
"Life? Master, you mean?" The young man named Huaying was slightly taken aback, and then his face showed ecstasy.
"You are the disciple selected by my villa this time to recommend you to join the sect. So here, what is there to doubt?" Lin Xin smiled and looked at him gently.
Huaying was the one that Ou Yinghong mentioned, the genius who had a great vengeance and joined the villa for revenge, no matter his heart or aptitude, he was the best choice. In order to express his importance, Lin Xin personally sent him to the sect, separated from the rest of the disciples, and was going to let his friends and teachers in the sect take care of him.
Ignore the happy look on Huaying's face.
Under the force of the boatman who punted the boat, the boat slowly docked.
The two got off the boat gently and went ashore, there was already a boy waiting for them on the shore.
The two boys in white clothes were waiting respectfully on the shore, was there by his side? There is a big white basket like a flower basket.
"Senior Brother Lin, Master is already waiting for you." These are the two boys who were taken in behind Senior Uncle Ji Lu. It has been five years, and they seem to have grown up, and they still look so young.
"It's troublesome." Lin Xin nodded, leading Hua Ying into the flower basket with a light leap. The two boys also came in and stood still. Then he played the Judgment in his hand.
There was a faint light under the flower basket, and suddenly the bottom of the whole basket exploded, blowing the whole basket into the air.
puff.
In the huge white blue sky, Lin Xin and Hua Ying held onto the edge of the blue sky tightly, looking at the ground and the Mingshui River that were rapidly moving away below. Huaying's face was obviously extremely nervous.
"Don't worry. This is one of the mountain-climbing magic tools specially used by our sect. It's very safe." One of the boys said with a smile.
Huaying's mouth was blown open by the wind, but she couldn't speak.
Lin Xin shook his head, it was also his first time sitting on this prop. Over the years, the number of times he has returned to the sect can be counted on the fingers.
Thinking that he was about to see Senior Brother Ji Lu soon, he held back his little Guiyuan slightly in his heart. If that red aura was discovered, the consequences would be serious. Now a large number of hiding circles are densely engraved on his body. It depends on the effect.
The flower basket soared into the air with a roar, and when it flew into the air, there was a puff, and a ball of white light exploded at the bottom. Another huge force pushed the flower basket towards the mountain on the right.
There seemed to be an invisible thread in the air, sticking to the flower basket at once. Slide towards the top of the mountain.
As if following an iron olive up the mountain, it is steady.
The four of them stood in the flower basket, and they could look down at the scenery below with peace of mind.
Lin Xin looked down from the edge of the flower basket and saw a white Tingjian Valley below. The entire Tingjian Valley was surrounded by countless green forests in the center. Looking down from the top, one can vaguely see many yellow-clothed disciples coming in and out around Tingjian Valley.
"It seems that there are more disciples from the outer sect." Lin Xin said casually.
"Yes, in recent years, the struggle with the Demon Sect has become stronger and stronger. Now the selection standards have been lowered again and again." One of the boys nodded. "A few days ago, when master was making talismans, some people wanted to give gifts to let their descendants enter the cave to practice. But they were rejected."
"Master is now cultivating more and more, so there is really no need to bother with these mundane trivial matters. It is important to establish a foundation." Lin Xin nodded.
The boy also agrees.
The flower basket went up along the invisible cableway, and soon reached the edge of a mountain surrounded by white clouds, and fell down.
Lin Xin looked around, and there were scattered caves and gymnasiums scattered in the mountains, like white mushrooms. Looming, cranes and white birds can be seen rising and falling above some gymnasiums.
Taking a deep breath, the cool air in the mountains seems to have a trace of spirituality, opening up the entire chest.
The flower basket fell and landed steadily.
Lin Xin jumped out of the flower basket with Hua Ying in his arms. It landed at the gate of a cave.
Waves of heat rushed towards the cave, as if it was a big melting pot. A faint red light flickered on and off.
Two yellow-clothed disciples were guarding the entrance of the cave. When they saw Lin Xin and the boy, they immediately stepped forward to salute.
"The teacher is making talismans, please allow me to inform you."
"No need, Lin Xin, come in." Ji Lu's voice came from inside.
Lin Xin asked Huaying to stay outside, and strode into the cave alone.
After turning around for hundreds of meters, they entered a large red cave.
Sitting cross-legged inside was a middle-aged man with gray temples, it was Ji Lu. Opposite him sat a long-haired woman with closed eyes, a beauty mole was clearly visible on the corner of her mouth. It was indeed his Taoist companion, You Xuan.
Both of them were dressed in white, and the surrounding ground was filled with densely packed candlesticks. The flame of the candle swayed slightly in the cave, and it actually gave off a scorching breath.
"It's been several years, Lin Xin, you still remember to visit me. In the past, it was mostly just letters. Why are you free this time?" Ji Lu opened his eyes and looked at Lin Xin. With his eighth level of Qi training at this time, He also didn't see Lin Xin's true strength. If he did, he would definitely be surprised.
"Master, is this double cultivation?" Lin Xin joked with a smile.
"You want to die, don't you? Xiao Linxin is really getting skinny." You Xuan who was opposite opened her eyes and said angrily. "I thought you two, uncle, nephew, and nephew would have something serious to say when they met, but I didn't expect it to be so unserious." A blush rose on her cheeks.
"Senior Sister You, can you not add a small word? Anyway, I am also the child's father now, save me some face." Lin Xin was speechless, You Xuan was so evasive even in her forties.
"No, you are Xiao Linxin in my eyes." You Xuan laughed. "Okay, let's get down to business, what is your business here this time?"
Since she became a Taoist couple with Ji Lu eight years ago, they moved to another place and lived together. This is the current cave.
Lin Xin found a chair and sat down.
"I'm here this time to copy all kinds of information about the Qi-refinement period and study the array. See if it can be done by using the spirit jade array."
"A formation in the Qi refining period?" Ji Lu Yiqi said, "You don't have the support of spiritual energy in the Qi refining period, so you can't activate Lingyu at all. Even if you know how to set up formations, you can't test and verify it. Could it be that you have made any research breakthroughs?"
"I know this, but I naturally have my own way. The breakthrough is not enough." Lin Xin said casually. "I'm just referring to one or two, and I won't disclose it."
"It doesn't matter whether you leak it or not. You are not practicing Qi. It is impossible for you to understand the key formations of the sect. At most, it will give you some basic common formations. Even if they are leaked, these are the basic formations of each sect. There is nothing to worry about." Ji Lu was very refreshing. Raise your hand and play a white token.
"This is my warrant. Take it and you will naturally have the right to enter the attic of the formation during the Qi refining period. Remember to return it to me when you leave after using it."
"Don't worry, I'll borrow you for a while!" Lin Xin took the token and looked at it, then put it in his arms.
He suddenly looked at You Xuan's stomach, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly.
"It doesn't look long before I have to prepare a congratulatory gift."
"No seriousness!" You Xuan couldn't help but scolded with a smile. "How long have you been pregnant?"
"It's good to know, if you have nothing to do, hurry up and leave, don't disturb me and your senior sister's double cultivation!" Ji Lu followed with a smile.
"Yes yes yes." Lin Xin exited the cave with a smile and squeezed the token.
"Huaying. Come with me."
"It's the owner of the villa." Huaying was chatting with several people in the cave mansion without saying a word, and it was obvious that they had already established a relationship. This is also the purpose of Lin Xin bringing him here.
Hearing the sound, he hurried to follow.
After the boy and the guard bid farewell respectfully. The two descended from the side along the mountain road.
This is the Dantang mountain peak, and all the fragments on the mountain are Dantang's brothers and uncles' cave gymnasium, so don't intrude indiscriminately, otherwise it will be troublesome to enter the formation of some cave gymnasium.
The two walked along the mountain road in the forest in a regular manner, and the alchemy hall was quiet. Most of the monks practice alchemy in the cave, and Lin Xin has also been to the sword hall, which is wide and full of white jade platforms, on which you can see inner hall disciples practicing swords. It's completely different from the quietness here.
Take the warrant. Familiar with the road all the way, he quickly went down the mountain, walked along the canyon for about half an hour, and then went up to another green mountain. At the entrance of the mountain, there was a big stone tablet with the inscription: Zhentang Peak.
Several Qi practitioners who had just come down from the top came to meet them, talking and laughing in a dialect that Lin Xin could not understand.
Watching these people leave, Lin Xin also took Huaying up the mountain, non-stop. Passing through three gate archways of different colors and shapes in a row, you will soon see a magnificent black Taoist palace.
The Dao Palace is like a huge black harmonica. Looking from left to right, you can't see the edge, you can only see a row of entrances and exits densely packed like caves.
Right in front of the Taoist Palace, there is a huge incense burner with a diameter of ten meters. Inside, there are thick and thin yellow incense sticks floating out of light blue smoke. The smoke lingered for a long time, surrounding the Dao Palace, appearing hazy with fairy air.
At the entrance of the Dao Palace, some formal Qi Practitioner disciples scattered out from time to time, some jumped into the Dao Palace, and some people landed gently at the door, as if they were waiting for someone.
Two Qi practitioners who looked like Taoist companions came out with sad faces, perhaps because they didn't have enough money. A few more people came out with pain in their faces, obviously spending too much.
Lin Xin took Huaying forward and told him to stay outside, while he took out the warrant and held it in his hand.
Just like the three different-colored archways we passed just now, there is also a special formation restriction here. The entire formation hall peak has a total of four layers of formation protection. If there is no official disciple's warrant and identity registration, it is absolutely impossible to enter or exit.
Lin Xin took Hua Ying because of Ji Lu's warrant. As a master of the eighth level of Qi training, Ji Lu has great prospects for building a foundation in the future, and his status and authority are much higher than ordinary Qi training. Naturally, it is also easy to bring someone into the array peak.
However, it is a special case for Huaying to be able to enter the formation hall, so it is naturally impossible to bring him into the formation hall again. (… )
