Later, the eldest brother naturally agreed to Chen Fan's arrangement. The next day, the eldest brother left Gusu, and Chen Fan and Xiao Qing went to the Taoist temple to continue their practice.
In addition to guarding the Sutra Pavilion, the more important task of the guardians of Zhenwu Temple is to guard the Taoist temple. They are in the light and dark side of Zhenwu Temple. They are responsible for the safety of the temple and secretly carry out actions in the dark. They are the real people in Zhenwu Temple. of guarding power. If you want to become a Buddhist keeper, you must be absolutely loyal to Taoism, and your martial arts must be high.
The greater the responsibility, the more difficult the task, and the shortage of manpower. In recent years, disputes have continued, and the number of scripture keepers in the Sutra Pavilion has been reduced from the original twelve to eight. Wang Yiqing is one of these eight.
It's just that Wang Yiqing has been very annoyed recently. A year ago, the Pavilion Master gave him a task, requiring each keeper to develop three potential disciples in the temple within two years to become guardians. This guardian is mainly responsible for the inheritance of Zhenwu Temple. The secret code of Taoism, in addition, serves as a reserve force for the scripture keepers. The age requirement is under thirty years old. At first, Wang Yiqing thought that he had plenty of time and would be able to recruit it easily. However, after a year, he did not find a suitable one. It was not that he thought This person is poor in martial arts because he feels that he is not loyal enough to the Taoist temple, or he has been recruited by other scripture keepers. Originally, if this matter was the same for everyone, it wouldn't be a big deal, but now even Li Yichen, who he had never dealt with, had been recruited, which made it difficult for him to calm down.
Fortunately, he now likes Yuantong. The only reason is that Li Yichen's disciples can fight. He wants to find someone who can fight better and has more potential than Li Yichen's disciples. Yuantong who has absorbed the sword essence is undoubtedly the most suitable. Yes, but how to develop Yuantong into a guardian before other scripture keepers was what he had been thinking about for the past two days.
Chen Fan finished copying the spiritual and spiritual texts in the wandering mind today, but he didn't see Xiao Qing until the evening. Then he went to return the scripture alone. The keeper on duty today was Wang Yiqing.
"Tomorrow is Wu Day, are you still reading?" Wang Yiqing asked proactively while taking back the scriptures.
"What's the special saying about Wu Day?" Chen Fan asked curiously as this was the first time he heard about Wu Day.
"Oh, this Wu Day is arranged according to the celestial stems and earthly branches of the lunar calendar. Every sixty days is a round. Any six days that fall on Wu Zi, Wu Yin, Wu Chen, Wu Wu, Wu Shen, and Wu Xu are called Wu Day, and they are called 'Wu Day' "Liuwu'. If you don't make a pilgrimage on the fifth day, you won't burn incense, chant sutras, or receive guests, so everyone has a rest tomorrow. If you want to come tomorrow, you can find me, and I will be on duty tomorrow."
"Thank you, Master. I plan to continue coming here tomorrow." Chen Fan said respectfully.
"It doesn't matter, Daoxuan just come over." If the guardian didn't need to be highly skilled in martial arts, otherwise this Daoxuan would be pretty good, but he could contact Yuantong through him, Wang Yiqing thought to himself.
"Okay, thank you. By the way, have you seen Yuantong today?" After Chen Fan thanked him, he asked about Yuantong's whereabouts.
"No, you can ask him to come with you tomorrow." The relationship between Chen Fan and Xiao Qing is not a secret in the Taoist temple, Wang Yiqing took the opportunity to say.
"Okay, thank you Master, I'll go back first." Chen Fan thanked him, said goodbye, left the Sutra Pavilion, and arrived at the gate of the Taoist Temple. Unexpectedly, Xiao Qing and Hou Feng were already waiting at the door.
"Fasheng, I'm sorry, I didn't go to the Sutra Pavilion today. After practicing, it was already late, so I came directly to the mountain gate." Xiao Qing greeted Chen Fan when he saw him.
"It's okay. Why were you left in Zhenwu Hall by your master today?"
"No, I was taken to Lingxue Pavilion by Master. Zhenwu Hall is a place where pilgrims worship. Usually only Taoist boys receive pilgrims. Master also burns incense and chants sutras there in the morning. Usually, he practices in Lingxue Pavilion. The environment there is good. My spiritual power is more abundant than the outside world. Master asked me to memorize the qi training formula tomorrow and start practicing qi the day after tomorrow."
"Oh, then congratulations, you will start practicing Qi in the next two days, faster than I expected."
"I hope I can return to Hudu with you on the 26th. It won't be a big problem."
"By the way, tomorrow is Wu Day, and the Taoist temple is closed. However, today's scripture keeper of the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion has said that he will be on duty tomorrow and can receive us."
"Okay, let's go there together tomorrow."
The next day, Chen Fan got up, washed up, had breakfast with Xiao Qing, and went to the Taoist temple together under the escort of Hou Feng. Due to Wu Day, the Taoist temple was obviously much deserted. Although the mountain gate was wide open, there were no Taoist boys or pilgrims to receive them. Chen Fan and Xiao Qing entered the Taoist temple, and Hou Feng returned to his residence as usual.
The keeper of the Sutra Pavilion is indeed the same person as yesterday.
"Master, Yuan Tong and I are here, Master."
"It's okay, Daoxuan. This is your handwritten scripture and the third volume of the first volume. Take it."
"Thank you, Master."
Xiao Qing said from the side: "Master, I will borrow the first volume of the previous volume."
"Here." Wang Yiqing had been prepared early in the morning. At this time, he did not take the scriptures from the shelf and hand them to Xiao Qing as usual. Instead, he stretched out his hand, and the scriptures seemed to appear out of thin air in Wang Yiqing's hands and handed them to Xiao Qing. There was something in this hand. The famous hall is called the great movement of heaven and earth in the palm of your hand.
The Palm Heaven and Earth Movement is not only a profound illusion, but also an unpredictable palm technique. A single palm swing is like a hundred palms or a thousand palms attacking, making it difficult for people to guard against and unable to avoid. This is Wang Yiqing's proud martial arts. one.
When Chen Fan and Xiao Qing saw each other, they were both stunned at the same time. Chen Fan almost shouted "magic", but fortunately he was so good at nourishing qi that he didn't say it. Xiao Qing, on the other hand, had heard that his martial arts skills were so high that he could pick up objects from afar. Although he was surprised, he did not forget to take the scripture from Wang Yiqing and said, "Thank you, master. What do you call him?"
"The poor Taoist's surname is Wang, and his Taoist name is Qing."
"I wonder how the master could suddenly summon the scripture just now?" Seeing that Xiao Qing did not ask, Chen Fan not only interjected, but also vaguely guessed Wang Yiqing's intention. Why did he only use it when Xiao Qing was getting the scripture? This is typical Look at people and use the knife.
"This is a Kung Fu, which requires the palm of your hand to move around. If you practice it to a high and deep level, you can pick up objects from the air." After saying that, he waved his hand, and instantly the palm prints flew up. A wall appeared in front of the two people, and the palm prints were condensed. Wall, just when the two of them were dazzled, the palm print disappeared, and a book appeared in Wang Yiqing's hand. The words exposed were "The universe is moving in the palm of your hand."
"Master, do you want to borrow this book for us to read?" Seeing that the other party took out the secret book, Chen Fan asked without hesitation. Quan Dang didn't know that the other party might just want to show it to Xiao Qing.
"This is the secret skill of our Scripture Pavilion. Only those in the pavilion can practice it. I wonder if you two plan to join?" If he didn't want to borrow it, Wang Yiqing would not have taken out the classics. Of course, the target was not Chen Fan. But it was Xiao Qing. Now that both of them were here, he had no choice but to bring Chen Fan along for questioning.
"But we already have a master?" This point must be asked clearly, or Chen Fan said.
"It doesn't matter. Those who join the Sutra Pavilion are all disciples of the temple. Naturally, some of them have masters. As long as they don't betray the Taoist temple and deceive their teachers and destroy their ancestors, there is no need to worship the master in the Sutra Pavilion."
"Is it that simple?" Chen Fan didn't believe it.
"Of course, we also have the obligation to be responsible for inheriting Taoist scriptures and scriptures and maintaining the honor of Taoist temples."
"Then can the two of us join?" The conditions were not harsh, so Chen Fan decided to tie Xiao Qing to his chariot. To be precise, he wanted to rely on Xiao Qing's big tree to join the Sutra Pavilion.
"This also depends on ability. Another condition for entering the Sutra Pavilion is that you must be able to fight. Whether it is swordsmanship, Taoism, martial arts, formations, or poisoning, as long as you can show your extraordinary talent in battle, You can join the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion."
"Master, if we are willing to join this Scripture Collection Pavilion, can we first look at the classics in Master's hands?" Chen Fan continued to ask.
Wang Yiqing did not answer Chen Fan's words, but looked at Xiao Qing and asked: "I wonder what Yuantong is thinking?"
"What Daoxuan just expressed is consistent with what I think."
"Does Yuantong plan to join?" If Yuantong intends, then of course he can take a look first. If Yuantong doesn't plan, then of course he can't, Wang Yiqing thought to himself.
"Of course I am willing."
Wang Yiqing was overjoyed, secretly relieved, and said with a smile: "If Yuantong is willing to join, you can take a look first." After that, he handed the secret book to Xiao Qing.
"I'm being ignored!" Chen Fan complained in his heart, but didn't show it at all on his face.
"Thank you, Master." Xiao Qing took the book and then asked, "I wonder if we have joined the Scripture Collection Pavilion now?"
"This does not count. To join the pavilion, you must pass the assessment and be approved by the pavilion master. But there is no hurry. You two fill out an application. After completing the application, there will be a three-month inspection period, mainly for Taoist beliefs. After passing the inspection, a pavilion entrance test will be arranged. The test is to assess combat ability. After passing, you can officially join the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion."
The two filled out the form, and Wang Yiqing was secretly happy. He was still very optimistic about Xiao Qing. The two of them left Wang Yiqing and, as usual, found a quiet room and read scriptures together. Of course, Chen Fan was copying today.
In the afternoon, Chen Fan, who had finished copying the last paragraph of The Journey of God, saw that Xiao Qing was working hard. Instead of watching "The Great Movement of the World in the Palm", Chen Fan got up and left the quiet room, and came to the Zhenwu Hall alone. As expected, there was no one in the hall, and the faint coolness of Zhenwu Sword came clearly again, lingering around Chen Fan, as if reminding him of its existence.
Looking at the statue of Emperor Zhenwu, Chen Fan walked forward slowly and stretched out his left hand towards Emperor Zhenwu's sword. An icy coldness poured into his body along Chen Fan's left hand. Chen Fan felt in his heart There was a burst of excitement, and he immediately directed the cold air to rush down to his dantian. At the same time, he looked towards the scabbard and saw no golden light.
Chen Fan suddenly remembered what his master said. Only by reaching the spiritual realm can one perceive the color of spiritual power in the outside world through spiritual consciousness. In other words, when Palace Master Xu saw the golden light overflowing from the scabbard, he probably saw it with his spiritual consciousness. , instead of eyes. I have not cultivated to the psychic realm, so naturally I cannot see it. In fact, as long as Hall Master Xu is not around, the possibility of being discovered is very small. Come to think of it, even if someone obtained the sword yuan in the past, it was possible that the opportunity was wasted because it was not discovered and the person involved did not know how to cultivate. Just when Chen Fan was thinking wildly, a feeling of abdominal distension came, which brought Chen Fan back to his eyes.
