Zhang Wenfeng held the desk with both hands, admiring the jade thunder talisman with a faint light.
He was still immersed in the afterglow of a pure state of mind. What he saw in his "eyes" was the strange scene of the flow of spiritual energy in the thunder talisman. The indescribable and unfathomable trajectory turned into dots of sword light in his mind. inspiration.
After thinking for a while, he drew his sword and walked to the quiet room. He raised the sword and stabbed slowly.
One stab after another.
He caught a chance for a breakthrough and had to find the clearest sword among the complexity.
The strength and progressive speed of each thrust are slightly different.
The sky was getting dark, and the second senior brother called out to the temple leader a few times outside the west hall, but received no response from the temple master, so he returned to the dining hall to greet everyone for dinner. There was no need to wait for the temple master. They were used to the temple master often forgetting to eat during these days. action.
Before the evening classes began, the door to the west hall opened with a creak.
Zhang Wenfeng walked out of the darkness with a somewhat excited expression on his face. With the help of a pure state of mind, he found the meaning of a single stab and understood the mystery of the combination of sword and hand.
In the past, he had grasped a trace of Taoist rhyme through chanting sutras and learned the unique skill "Flying Flower Style" from Luo Mu Fei Hua Sword Technique. He could only initially reach the state of being in harmony with the hand. At this moment, he had mastered the introductory state of mind of this sword cultivation. In the normal sword style, it exerts unique power.
Then he thought that the "Tangled Roots Curse" and "Hundred Turns and Thousands of Returns Curse" he learned through the Taoist Scriptures should also be able to use the power of supernatural powers into ordinary spells through diligent practice of winding techniques and green wood stabbing techniques.
It is no longer limited to the disadvantage that it takes a long time to recover every time the two magical powers are used.
Walking down the steps, the second senior brother greeted him on the ground: "The temple master has come out of seclusion. Should you go to eat first or do your homework first?"
"Do your homework first. It doesn't matter if dinner is late."
Zhang Wenfeng smiled.
Tomorrow is the day to recruit apprentices. After the second senior brother and Yue Anyan finish their work and settle the apprentices, they can go to the back mountain hall to try the practice in a gravity-suppressed environment. That place is suitable for breaking through a certain bottleneck, so they can't stay there all the time.
These few days should be regarded as a holiday for the earth spirit, so that it can regain its demonic power a little, and it cannot be squeezed blindly.
Yue Anyan looked at the approaching temple master and said with a smile: "The temple master's cultivation seems to have improved again. He looks a little different. I can't tell what it feels like."
"Ha, the temple master is making progress every day, I'm used to it."
"I have gained a little bit in my mood. When you are done with your work these days, I will take you to a special place to practice."
"What place is better than the pool?"
"Everyone has his own merits, so I won't reveal them yet."
The three of them chatted casually and walked up the steps to the entrance of the hall.
The second senior brother and Yue Anyan had actually guessed that the temple master should be talking about the back mountain where monsters were suppressed. The temple master always ran to the back mountain these days.
"This afternoon, Master Wu sent someone to go and received a message saying that eight of the group of witch cultivators and thieves were killed or arrested, and there were still three or four bereaved dogs on the run, escaping from Yuanyang County and Wanglong County. In the land boundary, entering the big forest to the west is no longer a concern, the masters of various sects and Taoist temples are still chasing you, so you have time to go to the city."
The second senior brother stood under the eaves and corridor and said something.
Zhang Wenfeng immediately understood that the reward for slaying the demon leader in Xiahe Village had been issued.
I wonder what surprise will be given to him this time?
He didn't have any special needs, so he chose to let the county and city prepare rewards according to his situation.
"Tomorrow, when the apprentice goes up the mountain and pays homage to the Taoist and Master, I will go to the city in the afternoon. Well, this good news can be known to the people in nearby villages and towns, and there is no need to hide it."
"Don't worry, owner, the news has been released. It spreads very quickly. Everyone is eagerly waiting for the good news."
"Let's go in and have evening classes."
The two of them crossed the threshold and entered the main hall.
At the bottom of the steps, a donkey carried a baby badger that was drowsy after swallowing a piece of crystal sand. It appeared on time under the large incense burner on the field. It came to listen to the sutras, regardless of wind, rain, thunder or snow.
At night, there was a strong wind.
The whining north whistled and blew all night, and after a few days of bad weather, it finally turned to snow.
The ice was freezing, and from time to time there was the sound of branches shaking.
Early the next morning, Zhang Wenfeng got up on time, heard rustling outside the house, opened the door, and felt a cold wind blowing with goose feathers and heavy snow blowing in his face.
Looking at the thick layer of snow on the ground outside the house, he shook his head slightly.
The poor are afraid of snow during the winter. Today's apprentice-->>
[Reading updates are slow to load, there are ads, and chapters are incomplete. Please exit Reading and read again! 】
Going up the mountain, we happened to catch the first winter snow of the year. It was God's will, so it was considered a test.
After finishing morning classes, have breakfast.
The second senior brother and Yue Anyan went down the mountain first, wearing new robes and holding oil-paper umbrellas.
Zhang Wenfeng walked through the thick snow and walked to the west hall to boil water, make tea and read a book. His brothers and sisters would not let him go down the mountain to help. As the master of the temple, he only had to do important things. When everyone arrived at noon, he led him to the main hall to offer incense and salute. Don't worry about other little things.
I read the book for half an hour.
All distracting thoughts are gone, and the mind is pure.
He took out two rough jade embryos from the vase, cut off the excess with a sword, and cut them into six pieces. He used a carving tool to carve out a rough jade pendant with a smooth front and patterns on the back. There are differences in shape, size and engraving.
It just takes shape as you like, without any special look.
He picked up the talisman pen and dipped it in red ink to draw the runes on the smooth jade surface. In the middle was a very complicated secret talisman with the character "軻". For him, knowing the origin and transformation of the runes was much simpler than drawing the wooden thunder talisman. The spiritual energy contained in the jade also communicates smoothly.
At the bottom of the mountain, there is a fork between the official road and the road up the mountain.
Under the custom-made wooden archway erected yesterday, the second senior brother led the young boy Wei Jingjie to receive the parents and apprentices who came to register in twos and threes. They registered in the roster. Wei Jingjie led the parents and apprentices to Aishan Qingzheng Villa in the west. Leave it to Yue Anyan to register again, arrange accommodation and beds, and distribute two sets of thick cotton robes, middle coats, trousers, shoes, tubs, towels and other items.
When all the adults and children entered the mountain gate, they suddenly became cautious and did not even dare to express their feelings.
People in the nearby villages knew about the miraculous power of the Fairy Spirit Temple. Without permission, they could not get out of the place without permission. Many people witnessed with their own eyes the gods flying around on the Fairy Spirit Mountain.
With a monthly salary of thirty cents, he can take care of food and clothing, and he can also learn the skills of gods.
Such good things are hard to find even with a lantern, and the parents of the apprentices who passed the assessment all spoke very strongly in the local area. How could there be any reason not to come?
Not to mention the snow falling from the sky, even a knife can't stop it. Maybe it's a test from the immortals to the apprentices.
The second senior brother Zhang Wenxing received every visitor calmly and politely.
The previous wave had just been sent away, and another wave came from behind.
The first ones were three children and three adults. From a distance away, the adults smiled and said, "I have met the Taoist priest." The children followed suit and bowed unfamiliarly.
The second senior brother held the booklet in his left hand and put the three fingers of his right hand together to return the one-handed salute.
His eyes fell on a child in the back wearing a tattered cotton jacket and trousers. The little kid's little face was blue and purple from the cold due to lack of nutrition. His nose was dripping with mucus. He kept covering his mouth to suppress his cough. His bare feet were wrapped in a pair of tattered clothes used by adults. Straw sandals, short trouser legs tied with straw.
"Taoist Priest...she came here on her own. We really didn't bring her with us. She came here on her own."
"Yes, she followed her all the way, and we rushed several times."
"Xiaoya, go back quickly!"
The three adults noticed that the Taoist priest in front of them seemed angry, and they hurriedly tried to make excuses, but someone yelled at him.
Afraid of causing harm to her own children, she blamed the cunning brother and sister-in-law for the bad ideas in Xiaoya's family.
Isn't this harmful to them?
The child, who was carrying a bundle of dirty and old bedding on his back, was a little overwhelmed. In the cold wind and heavy snow, his waist was coughing more and more violently, and tears were rolling down his back.
"...Taoist Priest, please accept me... I eat very little... I can do a lot of things, Xiaoya is not lazy..."
The child's intermittently begging voice while coughing made the three adults look embarrassed.
The second senior brother's eyes seemed to be bursting with fire, and he shouted at the three adults: "Where are the new cotton-padded jacket, trousers and new cotton-padded shoes I gave her? Are you going to let her come like this?"
Several children were frightened, especially the poor little orphan who covered his mouth and did not dare to cough. He was shivering in the cold wind.
He took a deep breath, suppressed his anger, and followed the Guanzhu's method of silently reciting the Heart Sutra. He quickly calmed down, walked to the child, squatted down, and said harmoniously: "Don't worry, little girl, I won't drive you away. From now on, , Xianling Temple is your home!"
Eighteen years ago in the winter, there was also a child named Xiaoya who went up the mountain tremblingly.
Now he has become the monk Yue Anyan of Xianling Temple.
He had always thought that this little orphan was a boy. Since he was a girl, he should leave it to the grown-up Xiaoya to teach him. Even with this face, he wanted to ask for a favor in front of the viewer and take in the little Ya in front of him. .
The Taoist cultivator has no bones, but he has a chivalrous and tender feeling in his heart, and he wants to help the destined person.
