On Qingyang Peak.
As soon as Su Qinian arrived in front of the palace gate, he saw the wrinkled and kind smiling faces of his grandmother and grandmother.
"Where's grandpa?" Su Qinian asked doubtfully.
Mrs. Chu rolled her eyes angrily and said angrily: "Your grandpa is fighting cocks with others!"
cockfighting?
Su Qinian walked into the palace. After more than a month, the entire Qingyang Palace was almost completely new. Except for some furnishings and appliances that were still shabby, most of the palaces had been repaired and were already somewhat grander than before.
After Qingyang Palace, Su Qinian walked into the yard and saw the grandfather and the old man sitting in front of a stone table under a few green bamboos. They looked at each other with big eyes and small eyes. There was a chessboard on the stone table, but they were indistinguishable. .
"Brother Qinian!"
The little girl ran over to Bu Nian and started to complain: "Grandpa and the others have been under the rain for most of the day and they don't want to play with Bu Nian."
Su Qinian was also a little bit dumbfounded. The two old men seemed to be in a stalemate, and neither one wanted to give in to the other. At this moment, he walked in, and the two of them seemed not to see each other, completely forgetting themselves.
At this time, the three fat men had not returned to the mountain. Su Qinian said a few words to the little girl, then walked out of the yard under the same angry look as you, the little girl, and came to the dry Qingyang Spring behind the Qingyang Palace. .
The hidden Qingyang Sword Seal appeared between his eyebrows, and Su Qinian stepped forward into the world of Yuanshen.
No matter how many times he watched the heyday of five hundred years ago, Su Qinian felt an invisible spur. This was not only derived from the initial grace of inheritance. Over such a long period of time, it had been deeply rooted in him. Having left the mark of Qingyang Peak, there is no longer any difference between them.
In front of Qingyang Hall, Master Jiyuan was very calm. After seeing him, he nodded lightly and said, "You are here."
"I am coming."
Su Qinian also nodded. Both of them were tasteless than water, but Su Qinian felt relaxed. He likes to interact with people like this, without identity, cultivation, or age. There is no intimacy.
Taoist Jiyuan was dressed in a green robe, with warm eyes. He then sat down on the stone steps in front of the Qingyang Hall, put the whisk in his hand aside, and patted the stone steps beside him. He motioned for Su Qinian to sit down.
After Su Qinian sat down, Master Jiyuan turned sideways, raised one hand and stroked his hair, and saw in the deepest part, more than a dozen white hairs shining silver and crystal clear in the sun.
"Rest one's life, rest one's life, rest one's life, rest one's own life, rest one's life in obedience to Heaven. How can humans compare with Heaven's punishments?"
"This is life."
Jiyuan Zhenren took a deep breath and said: "It is difficult to violate destiny, destiny has a certain number, there is stillness in concentration, and there is movement in stillness."
Su Qinian didn't quite understand, but he also understood that Master Jiyuan was aware of the hidden dangers of the "Life-breaking Knife". He understood it now. At most, I'm afraid I won't survive fifty years.
Longevity is different from vitality, which is lost as long as the foundation is still there. It can eventually be replenished, but if the life essence supporting longevity is reduced, it will be almost impossible to replenish it.
Therefore, martial arts practitioners are constantly pursuing a stronger state. Firstly, it is an irresistible powerful force, and secondly, they are pursuing a longer life.
Therefore, in the second-rate dragon-tiger realm, dragons and tigers gather into golden elixir. In Taoism, it is also called the Tao of Immortality. There is a saying in the martial arts world: dragons and tigers gather to ask for immortality.
In today's world, if ordinary people die of old age, they can live to be octogenarian at most, but once the dragon and tiger gather together and condense the golden elixir, martial arts practitioners can live to be a hundred years old, and when they reach the first-class Hunyuan realm, they can live another fifty years. longevity.
"If we break through the second-rate or first-rate ranks, can't we make up for it?"
Su Qinian asked, although he had long understood that the life essence absorbed by the "Life-breaking Knife" would continue to accelerate as his understanding of the sword technique deepened, even if he broke into the second-rate dragon and tiger realm, or even the first-rate chaos Yuanjing, I'm afraid, can't change anything. The only thing that will change will be his sword skills, which will eventually become stronger and stronger, and will most likely exceed people's understanding and reach an unbelievable situation.
"cannot."
Master Jiyuan spoke without giving the slightest surprise, then pointed at the Yuanshen world in front of him and sighed: "Five hundred years of viewing is enough."
"not enough."
There was a voice, somewhat rigid and jerky. At some point, the young Taoist priest came to the front of the hall. He looked at Master Jiyuan and Su Qinian with serious eyes.
After half a stick of incense, the young Taoist priest also sat on the steps, on Su Qinian's right hand side.
The three people fell silent. For a moment, the entire Qingyang Hall was empty, and you could hear a pin drop.
After less than half an hour passed, the young Taoist priest said again: "Master, do you still want to fight?"
There was a confusion in his tone that Su Qinian had never seen before. Master Jiyuan was slightly startled, and then he smiled so brightly that it seemed as if the blue and white sun above the nine heavens was eclipsed.
"Fight, why not fight? We don't fight day and night. We have been fighting for five hundred years and we must continue to fight."
He spoke slowly and firmly, then looked at Su Qinian and said, "It's time, let's go to Beijing."
Enter Beijing!
Su Qinian felt like he was struck by lightning. He didn't suddenly hear such a sentence. In that square city in the far north, there were so many places he was familiar with. Almost all his memories of the previous ten years were there, but right now. , what he fears most is returning there, not fear of death, but fear of seeing any sealed and dilapidated mansion.
There, there is his home.
He really wasn't ready yet. Su Qinian's original intention was to wait until more than four years had passed and he entered the first-class Hunyuan realm, and then go to Beijing to face the saint as the peak master of Wudang Qingyang Peak. Now he , compared to the Chang'an City of Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, it is still too immature, and it is even difficult to make a fool of itself.
In addition, from the moment the old housekeeper sent him on his way, he secretly swore in his heart that when he returned to that city, he would walk through the vermilion gate openly and honestly.
Everything happened so fast that Su Qinian was caught off guard.
"What, you don't want to?"
Master Jiyuan smiled and said, not knowing whether he had seen through Su Qinian's thoughts, and said lightly: "Only there can you live longer, become stronger, be destined, and move in silence."
Su Qinian couldn't understand the last sentence, what was meant by destiny, movement in silence, but he could understand the previous sentence.
Live longer and become stronger!
This is what he wants. The tenth level of foundation building in the top level foundation building skill obviously has a huge impact on the speed of cultivation. It consumes too much. Su Qinian has the intention, but he also understands that he wants to do it in the next four short years. Reaching the first-class Hunyuan realm in many years is probably not much easier than ascending to the sky.
"I'll go." Su Qinian nodded heavily, and then asked, "Where to go?"
He believed that Master Jiyuan would not just let him enter the capital.
"Tao Yuan."
Master Jiyuan spat out these two words softly.
Su Qinian was startled when he heard the words, and then he thought about it. He felt familiar with these two words. It wasn't until he flipped through the many books recorded in his mind that he was shocked. There it was!
When it comes to the Taoist Academy, perhaps not many people know about it now, but when it comes to the Imperial Academy, no one in the Han Dynasty knows about it.
The Holy Land of Confucianism and Taoism in the world belongs directly to the Royal Confucianism and Taoism Academy.
Except for the Han military, almost more than 30% of the officials came from the Royal Academy, and the remaining 70% were not qualified to enter it and become students at first.
Yes, this is the Royal Academy. There have been imperial examinations over the years. If you become a candidate in high school, you may be favored by the Royal Academy and be accepted as a registered disciple. In the academy, there are many bachelors, bachelors, and even great Confucian scholars. They usually do not show off their talents. But he is a rare strong man in this world. He has many privileges. Except for the Holy Face, no one can refuse to worship him. Even some great scholars, even the emperor of the Han Dynasty, treat him with courtesy.
And as long as you come out of the Royal Academy, once you become an official, your starting point will be at least the seventh rank, and your career will be prosperous and prosperous, just around the corner.
Therefore, in today's world, no one who is a scholar does not want to enter the Royal Academy. However, the lowest threshold is to pass the imperial examination. Therefore, many scholars forget about food and sleep, study hard day and night, buy bows to practice their skills, and visit martial arts schools, just to one day be able to enter the Royal Academy. In the academy, becoming a bachelor's disciple, even if it is a named disciple, is enough to bring glory to the ancestors. At least for hundreds of years in the future, it will be remembered by every town and county, and written into the local annals.
Compared to the Royal Academy, the Taoist Academy has no name, at least for the past five hundred years.
The immortal way and the Buddhist way are Taoist temples.
This is an academy belonging to both Buddhism and Taoism. If it were five hundred years ago, some people might have heard of it, but in the past five hundred years, it has gradually faded out of people’s sight. Very few Buddhist and Taoist sects are willing to transfer their disciples to After being sent to it, even in the past hundred years or so, as this generation of Han emperors succeeded to the throne and established Hulong Villa, some disciples of sects and aristocratic families were more willing to join Hulong Villa and become Dragon Guards, with official worship of the seventh rank, thus You can get a first-class martial arts treasured in Qiankun's arsenal.
Therefore, in the past hundred years, there has been no disciple of any sect or family in the Taoist Academy.
It was also Su Qinian who once lived in that Sifang City. He happened to pass by the dilapidated Taoist temple. The gate had probably not been opened for nearly a hundred years. There was only a small door in the corner for entry and exit. I don't know if there were any living people inside. .
Su Qinian hesitated and wanted to say something, but then Master Jiyuan handed over a bowl.
Yes, it's just a bowl, an ordinary-looking porcelain bowl. The glaze has peeled off, and even a corner is missing. The bowl is pitch black, and there are still old stains left on it, no matter what the source. From a perspective, it is no longer worth collecting and storing.
"Take it and go to the Taoist Temple. If you want to change your life, go there."
Su Qinian took the bowl, a little cautiously, for fear that it would be crushed if he exerted force. He wanted to tell Master Jiyuan about the changes in the past five hundred years, but the young Taoist priest waved his hand towards him, preventing him from speaking.
