Qingyangmen, Donglai Peak.
Qingyangzi stood facing the wind on the top of the mountain, his clothes were fluttering, his eyes were deep, he didn't know where he was looking, he just faced the east, his eyes were full of vicissitudes of life, with sadness.
Some things are unforgettable, no matter how many years have passed, they will never be forgotten. He is a cultivator of immortals and stands outside the world, but his heart is still unable to escape the dust.
Looking back, Qingyangzi's expression was slightly complicated. The person at the foot of the mountain had been kneeling there for a long time. Except for saying "Elder, please accept me as a disciple" when he first came, he didn't say a word after that. Qingyangzi didn't speak. He would not get up.
Qingyangzi had never thought of taking on a disciple until he met Gu Chen. Unfortunately, Gu Chen could not be his disciple. What was even more unfortunate was that there was only one Gu Chen after all.
It is not that there are no disciples with outstanding qualifications in the sect. Although there are not many who can catch his eye, Liu Zhen at the foot of the mountain is one of them. He can practice to the peak of the Refining Realm with a piece of Chao Xian Jue. His qualifications are the same as those of the same age. There is no one like him.
Of course, Gu Chen was an accident. Before his cultivation was over, he had reached the One Yuan Realm at the age of twelve. Qingyangzi had only heard of such a genius in thousands of years, so he did not let Gu Chen get along with others at all. Comparative meaning.
Liu Zhen's qualifications are indeed good, but they are different from others.
Qingyangzi finally sighed and said calmly: "Come up."
He spoke so calmly, and his voice was soft, but it directly reached Liu Zhen's ears at the foot of the mountain.
Liu Zhen was overjoyed and stood up respectfully, climbing up the steps step by step.
When he reached the top of the peak, Liu Zhen was stunned.
He had always longed to climb Donglai Peak. For this reason, he had imagined the scene on Donglai Peak many times, but all he saw were green pines and green bamboos, stone tables and chairs, and it was unprecedentedly...simple.
However, he was only stunned for a moment. When he saw Qingyangzi, he immediately calmed down and bowed to Qingyangzi respectfully.
Qingyangzi looked at him and said nothing.
Liu Zhen lowered his head for a long time, full of suspicion and anxiety because he didn't hear Qingyangzi's voice, but he didn't dare to raise his head and became more and more nervous.
Qingyangzi's voice came faintly and said: "Starting from tomorrow is Jingzheyue, which is also the period of Qingyangmen's stone enlightenment. If you don't prepare to participate in stone enlightenment, why are you here?"
Liu Zhen lowered his head and said the same words he said at the foot of the mountain: "Please, elder, accept me as your disciple."
Qingyangzi said lightly: "You have extraordinary qualifications. You can practice a piece of Chao Xian Jue to the peak of the Refining Realm. You are the first person among the disciples of the same generation in the sect. With your qualifications, you must have the ability to understand the stone." What you have gained is why you should sacrifice what is near for what is far away.”
Liu Zhen shook his head, Fang slowly raised his head, and said with firm eyes: "This disciple only wants the top three techniques of Qingyang Yuyan Jue."
Qingyangzi looked at him without comment, and just asked: "Don't you have confidence in yourself?"
Liu Zhen's body was shaken.
"What Wu Shi gets is what he deserves. What others teach him is another thing after all. The best is not the best for you, but the best for you. Don't you understand this?"
Liu Zhen was covered in cold sweat, his heart was sinking, and he was speechless for a moment. He gritted his teeth, buried his head again, and said in a trembling voice: "Please... elder, accept me as your disciple."
Qingyangzi sighed, and a gentle breeze started blowing away from the peak, making the leaves rustle.
Qingyangzi said: "Get up."
Liu Zhen's face was full of despair and he said: "Elder..."
"I can accept you as a registered disciple, but after all, you and I have different paths, so you can handle it yourself."
Liu Zhen looked up and saw that Qingyangzi had sat down on the stone chair and there was tea on the table.
Liu Zhen hurriedly knelt over, picked up the tea on the table, raised it respectfully above his head, suppressed the ecstasy that burst out of his heart, and said respectfully: "Master, please drink tea."
…
…
Green mountains and green bamboos, the scenery is indescribably beautiful, but the mountains are a bit messy.
Tomorrow is the time to realize the stone, and it is also the day that these disciples of the mountain sect have been waiting for for a long time. Seeing that it is finally coming, the young man's mind will inevitably become excited.
In the martial arts dojo, Yang Xueer's voice was clear and loud, and she said with a smile: "I will start to learn the stone tomorrow. Fortunately, Senior Sister Chen's guidance let us know so many things that we need to pay attention to when we learn the stone, otherwise we will make a joke. Xiao, it would be a huge sin to delay the realization of the stone because of this, don’t you think so, Senior Sister Zhu?”
Zhu Ziling nodded, but her face was a little uncomfortable. Chen Bingbing did tell them a lot of things they should pay attention to when they were enlightening the stone, but compared to what Xu Mushan told them, the content was much less, and the things he mentioned were , Xu Mushan also told them once, and she said it in more detail.
The two people who had heard about it from Xu Mushan could naturally tell the difference. Maybe Chen Bingbing had some reservations, or maybe she only knew this, but it was of no use to them, so even if she wanted to thank , shouldn’t we be grateful to the person living on the mountainside of Lingfeng Mountain at this time?
However, under Yang Xueer's overly bright gaze, Zhu Ziling finally said nothing and agreed casually.
In addition to them, there were a group of seniors and sisters around them. As for the senior brothers and sisters, they were standing a little further away from them, but they could still hear their voices. They were all whispering to each other, interested and also with some envy. The brave ones muster up the courage to come and ask.
Seeing the respect shown by her classmates towards her, Chen Bingbing was very proud of herself. She repeated those words a few times and repeatedly told them to remember them to ensure that they would not make any mistakes when enlightening the stone.
"Fortunately, Senior Sister Chen is here, otherwise, we might not know this yet."
"That's right. I originally planned to sit directly in front of Sunstone to see if I could comprehend the Qingyang Royal Flame Technique. Now that I think about it, what if I am more suitable for the Hanxi Inviting Moon Technique?"
"Speaking of which, most of the people in the sect who practice Hanxi Inviting the Moon Technique are women. The same goes for Qingyang Yuyan Jue. Most of them are male practitioners."
"This...maybe it's because the properties of the two sky stones are different, and also because each person's physical qualifications are different..."
Li Daqing and Chen Ying stood together and watched from a distance.
Li Daqing showed a disdainful expression and said sarcastically: "The frog in the well."
After saying that, Li Daqing looked at Chen Ying and asked, "Senior brother, if we let her continue like this, will she get on top of us in the future?"
Chen Ying smiled and said: "A frog at the bottom of a well is still a frog at the bottom of the well. No matter how hard you jump, you can't reach the top of the well."
With that said, he turned and walked away.
Li Daqing followed behind him, holding his head in his hands, and said noncommittally: "Aren't there always some unscrupulous people here?"
While he was talking, he also looked towards the courtyard on the mountainside, looming among the green bamboo forest, intentionally or unintentionally.
…
…
Gu Chen drank a cup of tea, thought about it, and then suddenly asked: "Is it usually so noisy here?"
Xu Mushan was stunned for a moment, then thought about it again, shook her head and said, "Today is indeed more lively than usual, but..."
Gu Chen looked at her and asked, "But what?"
Xu Mushan shook her head and said, "No, it was only after you asked me that I noticed that this place doesn't seem to be quiet on weekdays."
Gu Chen said softly but seriously: "This place is not good."
Xu Mushan smiled.
Gu Chen looked at her and asked, "Why are you laughing?"
Xu Mushan shook her head and said, "It's nothing, but I also think this place is really bad."
Gu Chen shook his head and wondered, not knowing what was so funny about such a conversation.
Xu Mushan poured tea for Gu Chen, and then said: "I'm going to Wushi tomorrow."
Gu Chen nodded and said: "Keep a normal mind and you will gain something."
Xu Mushan sighed and said, "There is no way I can be like you, but how long will it take for you to go to the Stone Enlightenment?"
Gu Chen thought for a while and shook his head. The current situation was that he had no clue. He seemed to be trying to catch something, but he couldn't catch anything. He was tense but could do nothing.
Xu Mushan said: "You have to hurry up. You only have one month to gain enlightenment, so don't miss the opportunity."
Gu Chen nodded and said, "I understand."
"Did you remember everything I told you?"
Gu Chen felt that those so-called precautions were not important at all, but under Xu Mushan's expectant eyes, he had no choice but to nod.
Seeing this, Xu Mushan smiled again.
