The basket was about five feet wide and two feet high. It was woven with rattan. When the south wind flew into the sky for the first time, I felt rootless and undulating under my feet. They knew they would not let go, but they were still frightened, fearing that the basket was not very strong. Being pushed off the bottom of the basket.
Feeling frightened in his heart, he grasped both sides of the basket tightly with both hands. In this way, even if the bottom was taken off, it would not fall.
Previously, Nanfeng was very envious of those Zi Qi Daoist people who had survived the catastrophe. They could fly thousands of miles in one day, how refreshing it was. However, after experiencing it personally, he realized that the feeling of flying in the sky was not as beautiful as he imagined. In mid-air, with no where to go, I was always on tenterhooks.
The two of them led Nanfeng in the sky to the west. Nanfeng sat in a basket and lowered his head to avoid the wind. No stars in the universe could be seen above, and the mountains and rivers could not be seen below. They were trembling and uncomfortable.
There was also the oncoming cold wind, which was biting and freezing. It didn't take long for my hands and feet to feel numb. I had no choice but to draw my hands back and cover my sleeves.
The flight across the sky was not always smooth. Every few moments, the two of them would land and use their strength to lift off again. Such ups and downs made Nanfeng's internal organs churn and he almost vomited.
As time went by, Nanfeng gradually adapted to flying forward under the guidance of the two people. He was flying in the sky at this time, but he relied on others to fly in the sky. If he could fly in the sky, The ups and downs are all under your control, so it won't be so uncomfortable. There are always many disadvantages in relying on others. You must not be arbitrarily dependent on others. You have to rely on yourself for everything. You cannot hope for the help and support of others. External forces are always unstable and will not last long.
Since he had not fallen asleep in the first half of the night, he felt very sleepy at this time, but it was so cold that it was difficult for him to fall asleep. He wanted to circulate his spiritual energy to resist the cold, but after thinking about it, he had never done so. Even if he had prepared it before, it would be better not to reveal his spiritual energy at will. He was not sure whether the spiritual energy he cultivated according to the Taiqing Sect's Qi training method would be the same as what he relied on. Is there any subtle difference in the spiritual energy from other qi training methods? If so, these two old Taoists will find that the spiritual energy in his body comes from the Taiqing Heart Method.
Although these two old Taoists were eager to return, they were not cruel people. Seeing him huddled up in the cold, the sixty-year-old old man took out a small flat pot from his arms and put it into the basket, "It's a cold winter night, drink some rice wine to keep out the cold and warm up."
The south wind was freezing, so he didn't care much. After thanking him, he took the small copper pot, pulled out the cork, and took a few sips.
The saddest thing was the first half hour. After half an hour, the south wind was numb from the cold and it no longer felt cold.
The two old Taoists were eager to return to Yuqing Sect, so they traveled all night without losing a moment. In the end, Nan Feng fell asleep, or maybe he was frozen, or in any case lost consciousness.
When he woke up again, the light of day had replaced the darkness of night. The first thing he saw after opening his eyes was a square paved with bluestones, and then he saw two huge incense burners in the square.
"You are so young that I have to suffer so much for you. It is really a sin. Here we are, get up quickly and we will take you to eat and sleep." The voice of the sixty-year-old Taoist priest came from beside him.
Nanfeng turned his head when he heard the sound, but found that his neck could not move well. He wanted to stand up, but found that his legs and feet were not working.
"He must be numb from the cold. Don't let him go. Send him into the house." He said in an ancient way.
Then the basket was lifted up again, and the two people, one on the left and one on the right, left the square with the basket and went down the steps.
They didn't go far when someone saw them, ran forward and saluted the two of them, and then took over from them to carry Nanfeng down.
Although Nanfeng could not stand and walk around, he could see the surrounding scenery. According to the position of the sun, it should be morning time. There were many courtyards and halls around, so it was obvious that he was in the Yuqing Ancestral Court.
Unlike Taiqing Sect, which has one main and one auxiliary, with high east and low west terrain, Yuqing sect has one main and two auxiliary, with the main peak in the middle and a shorter sub-peak on the east and west sides. The main peak has a huge hall, which must be In addition to Yuqing Hall, there is also a large courtyard below. This courtyard occupies most of the sunny slope of the main peak. The courtyard is divided into many separate small courtyards.
The two sub-peaks on the east and west each have a large courtyard with a large number of houses inside. The layout of the entire Yuqing Sect is in the shape of a "ten". The previously built main hall is located above the middle of the cross, and the three large courtyards are located on the center line of the cross. Downward were the front hall and the mountain gate. At this time, he was being carried by several young Taoists to the large courtyard in the center of the cross.
At this time, there were many Taoists on the mountain road. They saw two old Taoists bringing back a stranger in a basket. Out of curiosity, they all came over to take a look under the guise of greetings and greetings. Nanfeng sat in the basket and was carried by others in full view of the crowd. , sent into the middle courtyard.
It didn't feel good to be looked at like a monkey by everyone, but Nanfeng couldn't move, so he could only watch as others did. While being carried, he also heard some things from people's words. Where is he currently? Named Ziyang Palace, the two courtyards on the East and West Zifeng are Chiyang Palace and Qingyang Palace respectively.
Red is red and green is blue. The three palaces of Chiyang, Qingyang and Ziyang of Yuqing Sect should be of the same nature as Xiahe Hall, Zhongwei Hall and Shangxuan Hall of Taiqing Sect. Those who live in Chiyang Palace He must be a Taoist priest, and the person living in Qingyang Palace must be a mage, and the Ziyang Palace where he is currently lives is undoubtedly the Ziqi Master who has survived the catastrophe.
There are nine horizontal and nine vertical courtyards in Ziyang Palace, a total of eighty-one. If there are people living in every courtyard, there should be more than eighty Ziqi Zhenren of Yuqing Sect, which is more than twice that of Taiqing Sect. .
Nanfeng was carried to a courtyard in the northwest area. Although all the living utensils were available here, it did not seem to be inhabited.
Nanfeng refused the help of the sixty-year-old Taoist, and reluctantly stood up by holding on to the edge of the basket, trying to get out of the basket, but his legs were not working and he could not stand. In the end, the two of them helped him out and helped him to the Kang.
"Stretch out your hand and I'll help you activate your blood and drive away the cold," said the sixty-year-old Taoist.
When Nanfeng heard this, he was afraid that the other party would detect something abnormal based on his aura on his meridians, so he hurriedly declined, "No, I'll just lie down by myself for a while. I'll bother you two Taoist priests to help me find some hot water and food."
When the two of them saw what he said, they ordered their servants to go down and prepare. They also summoned a servant to light a fire and warm the Kang for him.
Not long after, other Taoists arrived. The Sixty-year-old Taoist and the Ancient and Ancient Taoist got up and went out to talk with a few friends of the same generation elsewhere.
Since he didn't dare to use his spiritual energy at will, Nanfeng could only lie on the kang and wait for his legs to regain consciousness on their own.
Not long after, hot water and food were delivered one after another. Nanfeng was not in the mood to eat and only drank two bowls of hot water. When the Tukang heated up, my legs gradually changed from stiffness to numbness, from numbness to soreness and numbness, and finally I regained consciousness in the soreness and numbness.
After regaining consciousness, Nanfeng got up and went to the ground. With the help of a servant, he went to the latrine to relieve himself. After leaving the room, he found that the courtyard door was closed and there were voices outside the door.
Judging from the voices outside the door, there were at least five people outside the door, divided into two parties. One party wanted to come in to see him, while the other party refused to let the other party in.
The party that wanted to come in said that they had the permission of the headmaster to come here, while the party that blocked them from the door said that without the permission of Yan Xiaozi and Yan Pingzi, they were not allowed to enter even if the headmaster came in person.
Although the voices were not loud, the tone of both sides was very harsh. When Nanfeng relieved himself and returned to the room, the two sides were still in a stalemate, neither of them giving in.
Nan Feng slowly returned to his room and lay down on the kang. He originally thought that the Yuqing Sect would be harmonious, but he never thought that the situation of the Yuqing Sect was very similar to that of the Taiqing Sect. There were also serious internal differences. None of the orders were carried out, which shows how intense the conflict was.
He thought that coming to Yuqing for this reason was a blessing, but he never thought that it was bad luck. Not long ago, he escaped from the struggle in Taiqing, and now he was involved in the internal strife in Yuqing...
