[Xianjian + Ancient Sword Colleague] Being a master is also a kind of practice

Shen Bailing originally thought that Tianyong City was as famous as Qionghua Sect, and that Lintian Pavilion should be as magnificent as Qionghua Palace, but he didn't know that it was just a stone house, calling it a palace was a little bit reluctant, but it was slightly taller than those next to it. Just wider.Standing outside the pavilion were two young disciples, one on the left and the other on the right, standing upright with their swords in their hands. The purple clothes on their bodies were no different from those disciples I saw on the road just now. When they saw Murong Ziying approaching, they still stood still until he came to the front Then they bowed together at the same time, respectfully said in unison, "I have seen the elder holding the sword", but did not even glance at Shen Bailing.Shen Bailing looked at it and nodded secretly in his heart, praising that Daoguo has the demeanor of a famous master.

Murong Ziying accepted the ceremony with a slight nod of the head, and then they were ordered to go in and inform the head.One of the disciples responded and turned around, the movement was very clean and quick, and after a while, he turned around and came back, saying that the master invited them in.

The two stepped into the door one after the other. The door of Lintian Pavilion was opened wide, but there was no restriction. When people were outside the door, it was like a thin layer of mist, but nothing inside could be seen until After stepping through the door, one can see an empty space. There is neither any gods enshrined nor any gorgeous decorations in the pavilion, but the bronze walls and blue brick floor reveal a sense of solemnity in the simplicity.

In front of the upper bronze wall are two ancient bronze lamps. The two balls of soft light on the lamps swirl slowly like water waves, casting uneven brilliance, and casting the shadow of a Taoist in front of the wall to their feet.Murong Ziying stepped forward to salute that person slowly, saying: "Master." Shen Bailing also hurriedly bowed to that person.

The Taoist returned the salute slowly.Only then did Shen Bailing raise his head to look at him, and saw that this man had silver beard and hair, long eyebrows and fine eyes, and his expression was neither cold nor auspicious. He was wearing a dark purple Taoist robe, and he held a jade whisk in his hand. It hangs on his right arm and sprinkles it obliquely, which is quite elegant.Shen Bailing's former master, Master Taiqing, can be regarded as a man of high morality, but compared to this Master Hansu in front of him, he is slightly inferior, only the bearing of Yuan Ting and Yue Zhi is seldom matched.

After the three of them narrated the ceremony, Master Hansu said again: "Since there are guests today, let's sit down and talk." As he spoke, he swept his robe sleeves, and three stone chairs appeared in the pavilion, and he picked up the first host himself. Sitting down, Murong Ziying nodded slightly to Shen Bailing, and also sat down on the chair on the right.Shen Bailing wondered in his heart: Could it be that the head of the sect is usually unable to handle the affairs of the sect standing up?Thinking about it, he sat down on the stone chair on the left.

Only then did Murong Ziying say unhurriedly: "I came here today because I really have something important to report." After a pause, he asked again, "Do you still remember that the Qingyu Altar used a secret method to steal people's souls to refine medicine 200 years ago?" one thing?"

Han Su Zhenren said: "This case has harmed one party, and it is a big violation of the morality. This incident on the Qingyu Altar is even more obliterated by other factions. The rest of the righteousness is always taken as a warning. How dare you forget it?"

Murong Ziying said: "It is this green jade altar that has been dormant for more than two hundred years, but it has not given up its intention of harming people." He pointed at Shen Bailing, "My friend knows the details of it well, so I invited him here Inform the boss."

Master Hansu nodded slowly, and looked at Shen Bailing.Shen Bailing then described how he was reborn as Baili Wushang, how he met Li Chuhuang after he left the valley, and how he was coerced by him, and learned from him that the Qingyu Altar has been controlled by him so far, with the intention of endangering Wumeng Linggu and taking away the female daughter. Wa's relics and other things were narrated one by one, and finally said: "It doesn't matter if my own soul is scattered, but I must not do anything wrong. The spirit witch clan has been so kind to me. If I help such treacherous people seek treasures, I will really live in vain. This time."

Daoist Hansu caressed his long beard and said for a long time, "It's a very important matter, and a poor person can't just listen to what one family says. But if Mr. Shen's words are true, then Sect Master Li has been dormant in secret for so many years, and the pursuit must be not small. Let him gain power, I am afraid that the disaster will be greater than 200 years ago, so we have to guard against it." After thinking for a while, he said to Murong Ziying, "In this case, let's send disciples to the Hengshan area to investigate secretly. Then spread the word to other sects.”

Murong Ziying thought so deeply, and they discussed it again.Afterwards, Murong Ziying told about Shen Bailing's desire to keep Shen Bailing in Tianyong City for Qingxiu. Immortal Hansu nodded in agreement, and said: "Although Tianyong City is full of clean energy, it will not help to restore the soul. If you want to save Shen Bailing Young master, we need to think of another way."

Murong Ziying knows that there is a tradition in Tianyong City. When the disciples of Fanmen go out to travel, they must go to the elders of the precepts to report their words and deeds after going down the mountain. Tell me everything you have seen, and if there are strange or rare things, the elder Miaofa will record them and put them into the sutra library. After a long time, you will also collect extensive knowledge.He thought that there might be a cure for Shen Bailing in these records, so he begged Master Hansu to allow him to take Shen Bailing in and out of the Sutra Treasury, and Master Hansu agreed.

Only then did Murong Ziying get up to say goodbye, and when she was about to go out, she suddenly felt something, looked back, and saw Master Han Su looking at Shen Bailing's back, with a rare look of hesitation on his face, as if hesitating to speak.

He knew that the real person in charge was well-informed and read a lot of books in his spare time, maybe he had figured out a way to save him, but he didn't know why he refused to say it in person, so he went out and asked Shen Bailing to go back alone with an excuse , but he folded himself and stepped into Lintian Pavilion again.

Daoist Han Su is still in the pavilion, and he was not surprised to see Murong Ziying return, instead he greeted his question and said calmly: "Zi Yin, although the art of crossing the soul is an ancient secret art, I didn't just learn about it today. Many years ago In Tianyong City, a senior expert once traveled overseas and visited an ancient fairy art on a small island named Penglai. There is a record of soul crossing in it. Mo Nengchi, if there is anyone who can save Mr. Shen, it might be him."

Murong Ziying was overjoyed, and quickly asked: "Is this person the elder in the door?" He guessed that since he is a high-ranking person, his seniority is higher than that of Immortal Hansu, he can only be one of the few elders in Tianyong City.

Unexpectedly, Master Han Su shook his head and said: "That's exactly what I'm in trouble with. I didn't want to tell Mr. Shen earlier, because I wasn't sure that this person could save him, which made him happy first and then sad. Second, this The identity of the senior is kept a secret in Tianyong City, and it cannot be easily revealed in front of others."

Murong Ziying was amazed, he knew all the elders in Tianyong City, and there was no one whose identity needed to be concealed from everyone, he secretly speculated in his heart: I don't know who the elder the head is talking about?

Hansu Zhenren said: "This is a secret of Tianyong City, and it has only been passed on by word of mouth among the leaders. But Ziyin's seniority is much higher than mine, and he has great favors to Tianyong City, besides, you act prudently. If you think about it, even if you know it, you won’t tell others, so it’s okay to tell you.” He turned his back, looked at the bronze mural on the wall, and said slowly, “Zi Yin’s guess was good before, that senior is indeed the one in the door. An elder, but different from other elders."

Although the hierarchy of Tianyong City is not strict, Chang Yi can bestow high positions on his disciples, but those who can hold the position of elders are often senior, virtuous and well-cultivated elders. There are two types of elders, one is only a There is an honorary title, but one has the right to be a deacon.Such as the five elders of precepts, holding swords, might, Miaofa, and Ningdan, each perform their own duties and assist the head to handle affairs.Murong Ziying thought to herself that the elder Han Suzhen said always belonged to these two types, but she didn't know what the difference was?

Master Han Su explained: "This elder is not a deacon, nor does he appear in front of everyone. There are hundreds of people in Tianyong City, and I am afraid that none of them know the existence of this person. This is his difference. "

Murong Ziying was slightly surprised.Master Han Su said again: "This elder lives in seclusion in a forbidden place, and he is not allowed to take a step in his life. His duty in his life is only one thing, which is to protect my Tianyong City from falling." His gaze slowly swept across the wall. The huge Tai Chi picture embedded in bronze continued slowly, "Since ancient times, mountains must have feet, and trees must have roots, but my Tianyong City has no roots or feet. It hangs on the highest place in the human world for hundreds of years without falling. Relying on the double magic circle on the top and bottom of the mountain. Although there is this wonderful method, it is also a great risk, not to mention the evil spirits around, but if the double magic circle fails, Tianyong City will be destroyed in one fell swoop. Therefore, when the formation was first established, the core of the formation was placed in a very safe place, and experts in the sect were sent to protect it day and night. In the long run, the person responsible for guarding the core of the formation was given the position of elder, because of its special duties , titled 'Shouxin'."

Murong Ziying has been in Tianyong City for more than [-] years, and this is the first time she has heard of this secret. She was surprised for a moment, and her heart suddenly moved: the person who built the formation was really a genius, but even so, The core should not be too far away from the formation, it must be in Tianyong City.But most of Tianyong City is built on the mountain, and there is no special secret place. He thought about it, and after a while, he suddenly said: "But it is in the middle of the mountain?"

Immortal Hansu suddenly turned around, with surprised and appreciative eyes, nodded and said: "Yes, there is indeed a forbidden place in the middle of the mountain, but there is no door, there is another way to get in and out. That elder lives there. "

Murong Ziying's heart is for Shen Bailing's life, he is willing to venture into even the ghost world, let alone a forbidden place in the gate, and said immediately: "Please forgive me for saving my friends, and bring me to meet this guard." Elder Heart."

Master Hansu smiled wryly and said: "Since I have told you all this secret, it is natural to bring you to meet him. But this elder has a very cold temperament. It is said that before he entered the forbidden area in the middle of the mountain, he was an elder of discipline. It's just abiding by the rules, but I'm afraid I don't want to see you, let alone agree to save people easily."

Murong Ziying said in a deep voice: "It's up to people to plan things, but it's up to God to make things happen. Whether you succeed or not, you have to try it. Please also ask the head to take me to meet Elder Shouxin."

Daoist Hansu could only sigh: "It's okay, it's okay."
