In Xianhuze, Lingxuan Sect, as the second largest sect after Yuzhen Sect, Lingxuan Sect does not build its gate on a famous mountain like other sects. Instead, it chooses another blessed place, in a fairyland with an environment like the fairyland of Yaochi. The lake settled down.
Immortal Lake is a very vast lake. There are many fairyland-like islands dotted in the lake. There is also an alias here, Qiandao Lake. The Lingxuan Sect is located on the largest island in Qiandao Lake. As outsiders think To visit Lingxuan Zong, you need to go to the island by boat.
At this time, Xianghou Xue Changqing, one of the Three Hundred Hunters, his apprentices Iron Eagle Swordsman Yi Feng, Fang Yunyi, dozens of Hundred Hunters, and Tsing Yi Envoy spies, hundreds of people rode towards the fairy lake. Ze Pier. From a distance, it really looks like the arrogance of the factory guards of later Ming Dynasty who went out on errands.
The Tsing Yi envoys secretly investigated for more than three months in Andong City, Jinan County, and found the head of Jiang Yi, the real person of Biyou who had died more than ten years ago of Lingxuan Zong. This Jiang Yi was probably the one who raided the emperor's honor guard at that time. Of course, the mysterious monk who self-destructed must be verified on site. The suspicion of Ling Xuanzong will definitely not escape.
At this time, the three disciples of Lingxuan Sect had already received the news and were waiting here. The first young man was none other than the first senior brother of Lingxuan Sect, the eldest brother of the current emperor, the seventh prince Gongzi Zhe.
When Xue Changqing saw that the person who came to greet him was Young Master Zhe, he was moved in his heart. He knew clearly the intentions of the entire Lingxuan Sect. Although this Young Master Zhe was from an idle clan, he was still a bloodline of the late emperor. You Baishou people, for the sake of the late emperor and the current emperor, In terms of face, you have to save some kindness, right?
Although the entire Lingxuan Sect did not know why Bai Shou suddenly mobilized troops to investigate this place, the people behind Bai Shou represented the imperial court. Ling Xuan Sect could not afford to offend these imperial hawks, so naturally everyone had to deal with Bai Shou cautiously.
When Prince Zhe saw Xue Changqing, the Marquis of Xiang, he came forward and said, "Mu Zhe, a disciple of Lingxuan Sect, pays homage to the Marquis."
Xue Changqing smiled and stepped forward to support Young Master Zhe and said: "Young Master, you're welcome. You are the legacy of the late emperor. I can't bear this tribute."
Young Master Zhe said with a smile: "What are you saying, Mr. Hou? This junior is just an idle clan. Mr. Hou, you are a Marquis of Ten Thousand Households personally granted by the late emperor. I, this junior, will never dare to be rude."
The two looked at each other and smiled, and then got down to business after exchanging business blows.
Young Master Zhe said: "Master Hou, this junior has been entrusted by Master Yuanlong to welcome Master Hou to the island. The barge dedicated to our Lingxuan Sect has been prepared. Please come aboard with Master Hou."
Xue Changqing said with a smile: "Okay, since Master Yuanlong has kindly invited me, and the young master is here to greet me and others, it has really given me a great deal of respect. I will board the ship now."
Young Master Zhe smiled and said: "This junior will lead the way for the Marquis."
Young Master Zhe guided everyone onto the barge to the Lingxuan Sect's base camp.
Along the way, Gongzi Zhe introduced the current situation of Lingxuan Sect to everyone. In addition to the main island where Lingxuan Sect is located, Lingxuan Sect is also stationed on other smaller islands in Qiandao Lake. The islands are connected by pontoon bridges.
Gongzi Zhe pointed to one of the islands and introduced: "Master Marquis, please see, this island is where our Lingxuan Sect refines weapons and creates magic weapons. When the magic weapons are refined, they are stored in the treasure pavilion on the island until the fate comes. people."
The so-called predestined people are wealthy people. A huge amount of resources are consumed in all stages of manufacturing a magic weapon, including its cost, material selection, and weapon refining. It is indeed difficult for ordinary monks to obtain a magic weapon that matches their five elements. This is nothing to the Baishou monks. For big things, relying on the imperial court is not a waste of money. As long as the cultivation level is reached, the treatment and equipment will be the best in the world.
Xue Changqing nodded repeatedly and said, "Well, your Lingxuan Sect's ability to refine weapons is unparalleled in the world, and sixty-seven out of ten magic weapons in the world come from your sect."
After that, he took out his sword and saw that there was a faint flash of earth-yellow divine light on the sword. It was obviously a high-grade earth magic weapon. , since I became a Taoist, I have been reluctant to change it to other magic weapons and have always worn it by my side."
After saying that, he stroked her lovingly before sheathing the sword.
Seeing this, Young Master Zhe said with a smile: "Senior, our Lingxuan Sect is really good at refining weapons. The founder of the sect is a weapon refiner."
Xue Changqing said: "I heard that each of the monks of your Lingxuan Sect refines their own magic weapons?"
Young Master Zhe said: "Well, Lord Marquis is right. Even if we Lingxuan Sect disciples reach the realm of Heavenly Master, the sect will not distribute magic weapons. We will go out to practice by ourselves, collect materials, and then refine the magic weapons ourselves."
After that, he also took out his sword and said: "This sword has been with me for many years. In order to refine it, it took a full five years to refine it..."
Refining a magic weapon is not like refining an elixir. In the process of refining the weapon, one must master the temperature of the weapon and engrave the magic patterns. Especially the stage of engraving magic symbols on the magic weapon is the most test of the will of the weapon refiner. In order to refine an excellent magic weapon, the weapon refiner even spends several consecutive days. After not eating or drinking for a month, one enters the state of fasting, condenses a lifetime's understanding, and carves Dharma patterns bit by bit.
Weapon refining is the specialty of monks, and ordinary people have no choice but to get involved. Ordinary people, not to mention the fact that they have been starving for several months without water or rice, will have their legs cramped and fainted even after being hungry for three days, it is impossible for ordinary people to complete this difficult task. Incredible work.
While everyone was talking and laughing, five barges were boating on the lake. Among the green water and green mountains, mist was floating on the lake. The islands floating on the lake were reflected in the water, like fairy islands floating in the air one after another. For a moment, everyone was a little confused. The illusion of entering the fairyland.
Finally, the five barges passed through the heavy fog and arrived at the dock where Lingxuan Sect was stationed. Everyone boarded the dock and saw the Lingxuan Sect, hundreds of disciples of the inner sect, masters of the heavenly masters, and naturally the headmaster Yuanlong Zhenren Tao Yu himself. He also stood at the dock to greet Xue Changqing, the Marquis of Xiang.
Tao Yu, the leader of Lingxuan Sect, Yuanlong Master, looks like he is only in his early thirties. In fact, he has been enlightened for nearly 200 years. His personal strength is powerful. He is a well-known weapon refiner in the monk world. The magic weapon he refines In the auction house, it is usually the grand finale.
When Tao Yu, the leader of Lingxuan Sect, saw the people in Qing Yi coming ashore, he smiled and stepped forward, cupping his hands and saying: "I have heard about the name of Marquis Xiang for a long time, and today the Marquis actually came to visit me, Lingxuan Sect, in person. Everyone in our sect felt very happy." Hui, Lord Xue has come a long way to visit, and it’s time for me to show my kindness as a landlord. The Lord will quickly follow me to the Lingxiao Palace to have a drink, I have already prepared the best spiritual wine to welcome the Lord."
Xue Changqing knows that dealing with a sect like Lingxuan Sect that has existed for thousands of years cannot be done forcefully. Before the official investigation of the case, the superficial pretense must be done.
Hearing this, Xue Changqing also echoed: "Thank you so much for your hospitality, Master. You are so kind. Today, I came to visit your sect specifically because I have some questions that I want to ask your sect. By the way, I also came to visit your sect." , Now that I have brought so many people to the island, it has really disturbed the Qingxiu of your sect, and I really want to accuse you here."
Upon hearing this, Tao Yu, the real person of Yuanlong, waved his hands with a smile and said: "Master Hou, you are really joking. No matter how many people you bring here, they are all my honored guests. Since they are guests, there is no reason not to welcome them. Master Hou, please come here." Everyone in Lingxuan Sect is most welcome to visit you."
The two of them exchanged polite greetings in front of the pier, and Tao Yu, the leader of the Lingxuan Sect, pulled Xue Changqing straight to the Lingxiao Hall, the main hall of the Lingxuan Sect, with a smile on his face. Although the two had only met a few times decades ago, they talked. They weren't very familiar, but today the two of them were as close as old friends they hadn't seen for many years.
The reason why Master Yuanlong is so enthusiastic is also very simple. Marquis of Xiang Xue Changqing is here to investigate the case on behalf of the imperial court, so Lingxuan Zong naturally does not dare to neglect it.
The two bosses were talking and laughing along the way, as if they were strolling in a garden, but the followers of the two men followed closely behind them. The two groups were distinct from each other, and they looked a little wary.
When everyone in the Lingxuan Sect saw that the Tsing Yi Envoy mobilized troops and traveled thousands of miles to investigate the case, they naturally understood that the matter was extraordinary. The two factions were chatting and laughing happily, and there was an undercurrent among the people below. Naturally, they did not dare to let down their guard.
The main buildings of Lingxuan Sect are built on the hills in the middle of the island. Everyone walked along the gentle stone steps towards the sect's location not far away. On both sides of the stone steps were lush trees and exotic flowers and grasses everywhere. Suddenly a line of egrets flew across the sky and flew into the distance. It was really a holy land of immortals.
The group of people took a cup of tea and arrived in front of a square. They saw the golden dome of the Lingxuan Sect Lingxiao Hall in front of the square shining brightly in the sun. It was like visiting the Heavenly Palace in person.
This was also the first time for Xue Changqing to visit Lingxuan Sect. When he saw Lingxiao Palace, he couldn't help but clapped his hands and praised: "What a wonderful sight for the Immortal Family. This trip is really worthwhile."
Tao Yu, the real person of Yuanlong, said with a smile: "Your Majesty, you are ridiculous. It has been more than 800 years since our Lingxuan Sect built this palace. It was built by the order of Duke Zhaogong, the ancestor of Yue Kingdom, when he visited our sect in the era of other countries. "
Xue Changqing nodded repeatedly and praised him.
When everyone walked to the main hall, Tao Yu, the real person of Yuanlong, kindly invited Xue Changqing to rest in the hall. They saw that in the Lingxiao Hall, there were carved beams and painted pillars, and gold pillars supported the top. In the center of the hall, there were four golden dragon mouth strings and iron chains connected to the bronze taller building in the middle. Fang Zun, Fang Zun’s surface is shimmering with magical patterns and divine light. It is obviously a treasure.
Xue Changqing was amazed when he saw it, and turned to ask Tao Yu: "What is this, Master Master? It actually looks like a magic weapon?"
Tao Yu, the real person of Yuanlong, stroked his beard and said with a smile: "This thing is called Jiu Xian Fang Zun. After the completion of this palace, our sect will place the treasure of our sect here. Jiu Xian Fang Zun is specially designed by our Lingxuan Sect." It is used by disciples of the sect to replenish their physical strength when refining weapons. Those who have this magic weapon can connect the air of the sky above and the fire of the lungs below. After placing some rare medicinal materials in it and pouring wine, it will automatically generate spiritual liquid after three years. , this spiritual liquid is not only fragrant, but also has the effect of nourishing qi, nourishing the spirit, and prolonging life. In addition to being used by the disciples of this sect, this spiritual liquid is also used as a tribute to the royal family. In the past eras of other countries, our Lingxuan sect offered spiritual offerings to the Yue Palace almost every year. After the Yue Kingdom fell, this spiritual wine was enshrined in the current imperial court."
Xue Changqing circled around the Bronze Fang Zun several times, marveling at it and said: "It is not easy for your sect to refine such a huge magic weapon!"
Tao Yu, the real person of Yuanlong, said with a smile: "It is indeed not easy. Three senior elders of our sect spent hundreds of years of hard work to refine this thing. The day this magic weapon became a treasure, it even caused great changes in the sky, and it almost became an ancient magic weapon." precious."
