In the past two days, two things have been widely circulated in Qingyang Gate.
One thing is that Elder Ai Ling accepted a disciple named Xu Mushan, who was born in Qingmu Town, Liangzhou.
The disciples of the Qingyang Sect naturally know where Liangzhou is, but Qingmu Town in Liangzhou is something that everyone has never heard of, let alone the rumor that Xu Mushan is the master of the Xuanmu Sect. Daughter, but no one cares about this level of status. After all, to Qingyang Clan disciples, a sect that they have not heard of is nothing. Even some familiar sects may not be taken seriously by them.
But I heard that Xu Mushan seemed to be favored by Elder Ai Ling, and because of her extraordinary beauty, she became one of the hot topics among the family.
The other incident was also about accepting a disciple. The other party was also an elder, but this incident attracted more widespread attention because the elder was Qingyangzi.
What attracted attention was not the fact that Qingyangzi accepted a disciple, nor Qingyangzi himself, but the person who would be accepted as a disciple by Qingyangzi.
The reason why I say "will be" is because it is said that the matter of recruiting disciples has not yet been completely determined, but the rumors have been around for a long time, but people hope that this is a rumor, as long as it is a rumor, it will be broken one day. .
"Who can be accepted as a disciple by Elder Qingyangzi?"
"I don't know, could it be Senior Brother Liu?"
"Impossible, I heard that he is not a disciple of our sect."
"Who is that? Besides Senior Brother Liu, who else is qualified to be the disciple of Elder Qingyangzi?"
One stone stirred up a thousand waves. The matter of Qingyangzi's recruitment of disciples attracted far more attention and became the focus of attention than Xu Mushan's apprenticeship. However, the two people involved were far away on Donglai Peak at this time. Because of the remote location, No one, they naturally didn't hear those rumors, and no one even knew how those rumors spread.
"The realm of refining the essence is the first of the seven realms of cultivation. By absorbing the spirit into the body, the spirit is conceived into the elemental force, so that the elemental force can move around the heavens in the meridians, achieving the functions of clearing away dirt, quenching the mortal body, and using the elemental force to strengthen the body. Strengthen your body and achieve the purpose of rebirth. The fuller this state is, the farther and farther away the body will be from the mortal world, and the stronger the body will be. Until one day, the bones and muscles are no longer strong, and all the potential is ready to be unleashed. Break through the potential and reach the next level, the Lingyuan realm."
On the Donglai Peak, it is always deserted and quiet, with no disciples and no visitors. The weeds and dust on the mountain have been swept away by Qingyangzi's Immortal Technique. The thick trees have been slightly pruned, and the miscellaneous strange rocks have been slightly carved. , the barren peak suddenly becomes a beautiful scene.
The secluded mountain environment is endearing. Stone chairs and tables cut from original strange rocks are placed under an ancient and green pine tree. An old man and a young man sit on the chairs, drinking tea and playing chess, talking and laughing.
The chessboard pieces are all carved from stone. Qingyangzi held a black piece and landed on the star point. He slowly said: "Everyone's situation in the Refining Realm is different. Some are due to different techniques, and some are due to different physical constitutions. The differences are partly due to different ways of practicing, partly because of different levels of diligence, and there are many reasons, but the purpose is the same, which is to cleanse the filth and temper the mortal body. In other words, it is to temper the body and tap the potential. This is a process, who Whoever completes this process first will be able to break through to the next level."
Gu Chen held the white piece and looked at the chessboard without saying a word. He fell silent for a moment.
I don’t know how many years this ancient pine tree has existed. It has an immortal spirit. Sitting under the tree, you can always feel the gathering of spiritual energy, which is very comfortable.
Gu Chen couldn't help but take a deep breath, but Qingyangzi frowned.
Gu Chen seemed to be breaking his game this time, which made him feel a little tired.
After glancing at Gu Chen, he was not in a hurry to make a move. He took a sip of tea and then slowly put it down.
"You should know all this. After all, it is the path you have walked, and now you are just walking it again. Comparatively speaking, you have an advantage over others if you have a chance to do it again. After all, the path of cultivation is already in your heart, but it is not yet Do you know what state you have reached before?"
Gu Chen thought for a while, without hiding anything, and said: "One Yuan Realm."
There was a "dong" and then a "crash" sound. Qingyangzi shook his hand and swept the stone box and the chess pieces to the ground. The chess pieces were scattered on the ground.
Gu Chen was still confused, wondering what was wrong with the One Yuan Realm?
After Qingyangzi's expression changed for a while, he sighed again, feeling more and more that his hope of accepting Gu Chen as his disciple was getting slimmer.
That kind of regret flashed across his eyes and was quickly hidden, and his expression immediately returned to normal.
Gu Chen saw it, lowered his eyes slightly and said nothing.
Qingyangzi waved his right hand gently, and the chess pieces that fell on the ground were rolled up and returned to the stone box. The stone box fell steadily on the stone table.
He picked up a black stone and dropped it on the stone board.
Gu Chen took a look and said, "Wrong move."
Qingyangzi nodded and said: "Wrong move."
Hearing what he meant, it seemed to be intentional. Gu Chen frowned and stared at Qingyangzi, thinking why?
Qingyangzi suddenly turned his head, and Gu Chen looked around and saw a sword light coming from the distance.
Qingyangzi slowly stretched out the two fingers of his right hand, and gently moved them together, just in time to touch the sword body, and the sword stopped.
It was a short sword with a flash of light on the blade.
Qingyangzi flicked his left hand on the sword, and the light from the sword transferred to his left hand. He put his left hand in front of his forehead and muttered something, and saw the light disappearing into his mind.
Qingyangzi's brows immediately wrinkled.
Gu Chen watched quietly from the side without speaking, but his eyes fell on the dagger in Qingyangzi's hand from time to time.
He knew that the dagger was actually a sword book, used to convey messages. The Kunlun Sect also had similar sword books that sealed messages on the sword. Only special formulas could unlock the message. As far as Gu Chen knew Yes, the Kunlun School not only has sword books, but also Aurora Messenger, Leiyin, etc. The usage is the same as the sword books.
Qingyangzi stood up and said, "I'll come as soon as I go."
Gu Chen nodded.
Qingyangzi turned into a sword light and disappeared suddenly.
Gu Chen's eyes moved down, back to the chessboard, looking at the piece Qingyangzi made not long ago, and murmured: "Was it the wrong move...?"
…
…
Qingyangzi's speed was extremely fast, and he reached the main peak of Qingyang in a short time.
In the Zhenghuang Palace, it seemed that they knew he was coming. The leader of Qingyang, Zhong Ding, and the three elders Wei, Zhou, and Ai were waiting here. But today, they were not the only ones here, and there were several others who were with them. He is a third-generation disciple of the Qingyang Sect of the same generation.
Qingyangzi knew all those people, and one of them was very familiar to him. His name was Jiang Li. He was very close to him at the beginning, and he also had a good relationship with Ai Ling. The two women were standing together at this time.
However, not all of those people knew Qingyangzi, because Qingyangzi's appearance at this time was completely different from before. They only knew the sect's secrets when Qingyangzi understood the three techniques of Qingyang Yuyan Jue and came out of seclusion. There is another senior brother named Qingyangzi in Zhongyuan who can compete with Zhang Jiuxiao.
They didn't know that Qingyangzi was Zhang Jiuxiao.
Zhong Ding said: "Senior brother, you should have received my sword book."
Qingyangzi nodded and said in a deep voice, "Because of this, you stop me from accepting Gu Chen as my disciple?"
Zhong Ding shook his head and said: "Senior brother, isn't this enough? Gu Chen is a disciple of Kunlun, how can he enter my Qingyang Gate again?"
"His cultivation has been ruined and he has cut off the past. Why not rejoin my sect?"
Zhong Ding noticed that Qingyangzi meant entering his sect instead of entering the Qingyang sect. His words were stagnant and he said, "Senior brother, what is the difference between entering your sect and my Qingyang sect? "
Qingyangzi sneered and said: "It's such a big sect, but it can't even take care of my small private affairs?"
Seeing that they were not talking to each other as soon as they arrived, and that something was wrong with what they said, Ai Ling quickly stepped forward to persuade: "Senior brother, calm down, the head senior brother probably didn't mean this, it was just for safety reasons... "
"Safety considerations? What I was worried about before was that Gu Chen's background was not correct. Now it is found out that he was born in Kunlun, so his wealth is naturally innocent. And he is using Kunlun disciples as an example. Is this also for safety reasons?"
Zhong Ding shook his head and said: "Brother, you know that's not what I meant. Just think about it, a person who has destroyed his meridians has regained his meridians in just a short time, and you happened to meet him in Liangzhou. This thing looks like it was planned, isn't there something fishy about it?"
