Zhao Ning stepped forward and bowed her hands in greeting, "Senior, we are new disciples who have joined the sect. We want to choose a Taoism, but we don't know how to choose?"
The old man looked away and looked at Zhao Ning twice, "Ancient path? No wonder the Five Elements aura is so weak."
He lazily stood up and searched among the pile of jade slips on the desk, and then clicked on a few slips, "This is the Qiling Han Guang Dao Technique in the fourth slip, the Qinglian Heart Protection Scroll in the twelfth slip, this The Fifth Jane's Gufeng Qingyu Fantasy Spectrum..."
The old man called out seven or eight Taoist names for Zhao Ning, and then lay back down again. "There are introductions on the slip. Take a look at it yourself. Whichever one you choose, register it in the book. Then go to the spiritual grid and take it out and put it into the blank jade." It is written in Simplified Chinese and cannot be passed on to other people."
Zhao Ning thanked the old man and read the Taoist techniques taught by the old man one by one. These jade slips were only an introduction to the Taoist methods in the palace, and there were no specific Taoist moves.
Guo Ying'er and Lu Jiu also came over to take a look. Lu Jiu was trying to please the old man and said he wanted to ask the old man for advice. The old man glanced at him, hugged the cattail leaf fan, turned his back to him and dozed off, not even Guo Ying'er. Guo Ying'er was so angry that she kicked Lu Qiu.
Most of the jade slips introduced by the old man were made of wood and wind. Qiling Hanguang's Taoist spiritual light was divided into seven parts. It can be used to advance, attack, retreat or defend. It can be used invisibly. It can be transformed into silk draped between the arms so that people cannot detect it. Green lotus protects the heart. The scroll master's defense uses the power of the past life of the green lotus to protect the heart. It can be brought back to life after severe damage. The Gufeng Qingyu fantasy spectrum transforms into multiple afterimages. They move like light feathers. The afterimages and the main body can attack at the same time, so that It's hard to distinguish between people, but the afterimage is no more powerful...
After looking at several Taoist techniques, Zhao Ning was a lot confused, and finally chose Gufeng Qingyu Fantasy Pu. She wrote down her choice in the register, took a blank jade slip, walked to the spiritual grid, and pressed it with her hand. On the spiritual grid, his consciousness moved slightly, and he saw a spiritual light floating down from the spiritual grid in the middle and upper part of the temple. The spiritual light fell on the jade slip in Zhao Ning's hand. After a while, the blank jade slip was filled with words.
Zhao Ning briefly glanced at the content of the Taoist method. This Taoist method is not strong. It relies on its transformation and change, and it relies on one's own cultivation. Even if it is used in the foundation building stage, it may not be greatly compromised. It is a rare method. The superior way.
She took back the jade slip and returned to the center of the hall. She saw Guo Yinger squatting under the couch at some point, coquettishly begging the old man.
"Grandpa Mu, my brother said that you are the best old, strong-willed and caring of your disciples. The exercises you choose are the most suitable for your qualifications. Please help me choose one."
Lu Jiu was dumbfounded, but he did not give in. He lowered his head and showed the courtesy to the female cultivator, "Yes, yes, Grandpa Mu, we were too talkative just now and disturbed your rest. You are majestic, powerful and handsome." Back then, they would definitely not blame us and give some guidance to the younger generations."
The old man squinted his eyes and chuckled, "You kid, do you know what I was like back then?"
Lu Jiu was taken aback by this question. He wanted to please me, but he said nice things and nonsense. Who knows what the situation was back then.
The old man didn't pay attention. He lowered his head and looked at Guo Ying'er beside him, "Little girl, who is your brother? I don't know if this sounds familiar to me."
Guo Ying'er was overjoyed, "You must have heard of that Guo Congheng who defeated all the invincible opponents in the outer sect during his Qi refining period!"
As soon as he said these words, the old man almost fell off the couch. The outline of the young man with a sword on his back and an arrogant figure who refused to accept anyone appeared in his mind. He recalled that the young man wanted to challenge himself with a fearless face, but he couldn't beat him. It was bleeding, so I got up and wanted to beat him again. I just put my old face aside and pretended to be seriously injured to avoid getting entangled.
The old man coughed slightly and hurriedly ordered a few jade slips, "Choose these by yourself." He said with a quickness that was afraid that Guo Congheng would come to pester him again.
Lu Jiu also got an advantage and gave him some pointers.
The two happily held the jade slips, selected the Taoist method they liked, and took the blank jade slip to engrave the Taoist method.
Zhao Ning walked to the old man's side and saw that the old man was still sighing.
"These young people these days, each one is more noisy than the last. In the past there was Guo Congheng who would do it if he refused, and in the latter there was Jia Rui who was rich and powerful and defrauded me of the precious Taoism that I had treasured for many years. But we can't have another little guy, otherwise we might as well go into seclusion. "
What Zhao Ning heard was the sentence "Jia Rui is rich and powerful". It is undeniable that Jia Rui was really lucky. From the moment Zhao Ning met this person, he first magically got the "immortal guidance" that the entire Nanjun Jianghu was competing for, and then It was the inexplicable appearance in the Li family's ancestral tomb that Baiyun Immortal Master coveted, and then Huang Tingguo's fire-attribute heavenly materials and earthly treasures, and now the treasured Taoist skills of this unpredictable old man.
Who is this Jia Rui?
"Thank you, Mr. Mu. I took the Galloping Golden Wing Spirit Art." Guo Ying'er walked over with a smile and bowed her hands in a mocking manner. Lu Jiu also came over to say thanks.
The old man covered his face with a cattail leaf fan, pretending to be dead and ignoring him.
Guo Ying'er covered her mouth and smiled, and Zhao Ning asked them to leave together.
When he walked to the door, he saw Yun Jinfan coming from the stone path on the left, which led to the Kung Fu Hall.
She was mumbling, her voice was too small and hard to hear clearly, but Zhao Ning could distinguish the shape of her mouth and could barely tell that she was complaining.
"The Qingxiao Sect is so stingy. It doesn't even have the outer door of the residual scrolls and low-level skills of the same sect."
She was so confused that she couldn't tell what she was referring to, but Guo Ying'er had already stepped forward to greet her, "Jin Fan, I thought you would sleep until the middle of the sun before getting up. I heard that you got up early in the morning to practice kung fu. Yeah, you little girl is so sneaky, you must be trying to make a splash."
"Oh, I didn't want to either." She was not surprised when Guo Ying'er pointed out that she practiced Qigong early in the morning. She obviously knew that someone had seen it nearby.
This actually surprised Zhao Ning. The secret technique had always been restrained and combined with the Hidden Breath Technique, Zhao Ning was confident that it would not be noticed by others of the same level.
Is it because Yun Jinfan's technique is special, or there is another hidden secret.
Zhao Ning stepped forward with a smile on her face, "I hurried past in order to catch my morning class early in the morning. I saw Miss Yun concentrating on her practice. I don't want to disturb you. Don't be surprised by Miss Yun."
"It's okay, it's okay." Yun Jinfan smiled deeply, sweetly and innocently, "I'm also surprised that Miss Zhao Ning goes out so early."
"Jin Fan, did you just go to the Kung Fu Hall to practice your Kung Fu?" Guo Ying'er interrupted, very curious.
Zhao Ning covered up the doubts in her eyes and listened to the two of them talking.
Yun Jinfan kept his mouth shut, "I didn't find a suitable one, so I had to come out. My skills are weak and I want to find more Taoist methods to help me."
"We have also chosen, you see." Guo Ying'er shook her eyes at the Taoist method she just got. "Unfortunately, newbies can only choose one. This Mr. Mu, my brother said he has a strange personality. Sometimes he's easy to talk to, but sometimes he's tougher than a duck's mouth."
Zhao Ning was not surprised that she changed her tune when she came out. He just glanced into the hall and saw that the old man was still covering his face with a cattail leaf fan, so he didn't remind her.
Yun Jinfan blinked and nodded. Seeing Lu Jiu coming behind, she avoided him with a look of disgust, said goodbye in a hurry and entered the palace.
"Eh..." Lu Jiu stretched out his hands before he could put them down, and snorted at Guo Ying'er, "Looking at the trouble you've made for my reputation, Miss Yun doesn't care about me anymore."
"It's not your first time meeting me, so frivolous."
The two quarreled again, but Zhao Ning paid attention inside and saw Yun Jinfan taking over the old man's cattail leaf fan at some point and gently fanning the old man. Her voice was her unique soft voice, "Good grandpa, I'm good at this." The Dharma is not good and my cultivation is low, so I just want to learn a few more Taoist methods. Could you please be accommodating?"
"No, little girl, these are the rules. How can you break the rules?"
Yun Jinfan pouted and squatted under the couch, looking frustrated and lost. "But I don't even have a way to save my life. If I go out to practice, I will die miserably." She straightened up again. , Liwo appeared, "How about this? I'll clean the Taoist temple for you and talk to you to relieve your boredom. You can count your contribution to me and I'll take my contribution in exchange. Okay, okay..."
"You little girl, you are so annoying..."
"Zhao Ning, what are you looking at?" Guo Ying'er drew Zhao Ning's attention back. In a new round of dispute between Guo Ying'er and Lu Qiu, Guo Ying'er won a big victory and left Lu Qiu angry. Zhao Ning felt the old man's softened tone, and there was something Feeling that this was indeed the case, he shook his head at Guo Ying'er and said it was nothing.
The two left the Dao Dharma Hall, and Zhao Ning asked, "Do you know the realm of the old man in charge of this Dao Dharma Hall?"
"I don't know." Guo Ying'er shook her head, "I only know that my brother called him Mr. Mu, and said that his cultivation level was at least foundation building or above, like a sect elder."
Zhao Ning and Guo Ying'er returned to the purple bamboo forest. After saying goodbye, they returned to their bamboo house. She sat on the bamboo couch in the house, looking in the direction of Yun Jinfan, her eyes uncertain. After a moment, she sighed slightly, closed her eyes and sank into the house of silent spirits. .
She got the Gufeng Qingyu Magic Book again from the library of Silent Spirit Mansion. The content in the jade slip changed slightly. The Gufeng Qingyu Magic Book became the Xunfeng Magic Leaf Book, and the Taoist moves also changed. There have been changes. If the original Gufeng Qingyu Phantom Book uses the wind to transform the clone, and Qingyu is used to describe the ethereal state of the clone, then the Xunfeng Phantom Leaf Phantom Book is that the clone and the moves are transformed at the same time, and each move unfolds like a flying leaf. , coming from all directions, hiding their true bodies, attacking heavily and leaving numerous afterimages.
Zhao Ning practices the Xunfeng Phantom Leaf Lingpu in the small courtyard in front of the palace. The Lingpu is divided into four forms. In the first form, the wind blows and shadows move. Under the fallen leaves, there are afterimages everywhere, and the true body is everywhere. In the small courtyard , Zhao Ning's body is as ethereal as the wind, and the wind is like a blade. With the flash of spiritual light in his hand, the blade is as sharp as a sword blade, and the cold light is pressing, piercing the dead wood from all directions.
Deadwood showed no reaction. After all, it was a divine soul exercise. It had aura but no spiritual power, so it could not display any power.
Zhao Ning whirled back and danced, and the afterimages were frozen one after another. Then he turned around, and a crescent-shaped long bow appeared in his hand. The long bow was surrounded by dense clouds. He drew the bow and unfolded it. The silver arrows transformed into shapes and were aimed at the screen wall in front of the central corridor. , the arrow came out and sank into the shadow wall. The gray mist fluctuated, and Zhao Ning was drained of a trace of his soul power and returned to normal.
If you want to display powerful Taoist magic in the Palace of Silent Spirits, you can only use this kind of soul magic. This is a soul magic that was dug out from Tai Ke's memory. It is the secret method used by the Palace of Extreme Evil to destroy the soul. Each time it is used, it will consume a little bit. When Zhao Ning has figured out the power of the soul, the Palace of Silent Spirits is connected to his own soul, and the arrows of soul power that he shoots will feed back to him.
She walked to the screen wall, and the words on the screen changed, and her life force changed into a thirty-cross shape again.
It seems that since entering the Qi refining stage, this life force has stopped changing. It is still too little, less than half of the life force of ordinary cultivators.
It is often said in the book that a mortal's longevity is sixty years old, and a cultivator's longevity is a hundred years old during the Qi training period. In the middle stage of Qi training, one can transform into a mortal and increase one's lifespan. After that, one's lifespan is doubled at each level, until the lifespan of the Yuan Shen realm is reached. For ten thousand years, one can live as long as heaven.
As a last resort, Zhao Ning did not want to use those immortality elixirs. She only hoped to pass the middle stage of Qi training and complete the body training. If she did not have a hundred years of life, it would be considered good to have eighty years. In this way, she would have more time to attack the foundation. Enough.
Zhao Ning withdrew from the House of Silent Spirit and concentrated on practicing the Xunfeng Phantom Leaf Spirit Book in the purple bamboo forest. Under the Taoist teachings, the bamboo leaves fell, and the spiritual power was wrapped in the bamboo leaves. Each bamboo leaf became a sharp The short blade, as the Taoist magic was being used, the bamboo leaves attacked the body, thump thump thump... all of them were stuck on a purple bamboo. The wind moved the purple bamboo but it didn't move. After half a breath, the purple bamboo rose from bottom to top, following the debris in the wind. spread.
"Meow!" A little tiger cat screamed and fell from the top of the purple bamboo to the ground. Feng supported it cleverly, which prevented it from falling and bleeding.
Zhao Ning chuckled lightly, squatted in front of the little tiger cat, and tapped its forehead with the tip of a bamboo leaf, "But you can't spy on others practicing martial arts. Even if there is no malice, it is still very dangerous. Do you understand?"
The little tiger cat meowed again, stood up and shook away the broken bamboo leaves all over its body, and ran away in despair.
Zhao Ning watched the little tiger cat disappear and then glanced deep into the bamboo forest. There was no other sound. Yun Jinfan didn't seem to be back.
In the next few days, Zhao Ning followed the pattern of life. He and Guo Ying'er went to Chuan Gong Hall to do morning classes in the morning, practiced Taoism in the afternoon, and meditated in the evening. Yun Jinfan was not seen in these seven days. Guo Ying'er mentioned it several times, Feel weird.
Another early morning, Zhao Ning went to Chuan Gong Hall to find Guo Ying'er.
The two of them stopped in Yufeng at the foot of Chuan Gong Peak. Guo Ying'er took a breath and pulled Zhao Ning and whispered, "I didn't have time to say it just now, but I heard the news about Jin Fan."
There are 1,000 steps from the foot of Chuangong Peak to the summit square. Every time you climb to the top, it is a small test of perseverance.
Zhao Ningzhong didn't use the Wind Control Technique to fly ten levels at a time, but walked up step by step. Hearing Guo Ying'er's words, he asked cooperatively, "What's the news?"
Guo Ying'er said, "That day, when we came out of the Taoist Hall, didn't we meet Jin Fan? She actually stayed there the whole time, serving Mr. Mu tea and water, squeezing his shoulders and back, chatting to relieve his boredom, and even humming Fan Fan. Some folk songs during the period made Mr. Mu happy."
Zhao Ning was not surprised when she heard this. When she heard their conversation before leaving that day, Zhao Ning had a premonition of this, but she didn't expect that Yun Jinfan could persist for so long.
"Tell me, can she really coax Mr. Mu into giving her several tricks?"
"No, Qingxiao Sect respects the rules. If Mr. Mu were the elder of Qingxiao Sect, he would not make an exception for her."
Already halfway up the steps, her legs and feet were clearly feeling a little sore, so Zhao Ning stopped and rested for a while.
"Then her efforts were in vain. This won't work. I have to talk to her." Guo Ying'er said that she was about to go down the mountain. Zhao Ning held her back and said, "Don't go."
Guo Ying'er was puzzled, and found her own reason, pushing Zhao Ning, "Oh - I see, you asked me to deliberately not tell you, and let me take the opportunity to practice so that I can surpass her!"
Zhao Ning was amused and shook her head, "I mean, Mr. Mu will not break the rules of Qingxiao Sect, but if he gives his own Taoism, no one can argue with him."
Guo Ying'er opened her mouth slightly, and with this reminder, she suddenly realized, "This little girl actually had such an idea! It's a shame I thought she was innocent! She was deceived!"
"Let's go!" Zhao Ning finished repairing and continued to climb the steps.
Guo Ying'er followed behind and said, "My brother said that Mr. Mu had traveled across Kyushu before and also walked through the outskirts of the Western Demonic Wasteland. So many people died in that place, and no one dared to enter it for many years. Spiritual weapons can be seen everywhere on the ground. He Daofa, Mr. Mu must have many good treasures, and Jin Fan’s eyes are really amazing!”
Zhao Ning did not accept this, but asked, "Did you get new news? Is your brother in the sect?"
"Not here! But I have this!" Guo Ying'er took out a jade tablet like a treasure. "Thousand-mile communication talisman can communicate with each other within a thousand miles. My brother is in the Yuhua Sect. If you ask this, you will receive it in a moment." News.”
Did Guo Congheng also attend the Yuhua Sect’s High-grade Golden Elixir Real Person Golden Elixir Ceremony?
Zhao Ning did not go into details. At this time, he had already stepped onto the square in front of the palace. There was still half an hour before Chenshi. Zhao Ning used the jade whip to perform the basic body training whip technique. After guiding the disciples to come, he changed to the stainless steel sword to perform the basic body training. Sword tactics.
Today's morning class is coming to an end, and many disciples have gathered around the square. Uncle Ji Architect is preaching today, so many people have come over. However, there are more people and it becomes a bit noisy. No matter how focused Zhao Ning is, he can't stand up to those around him. The sound of voices penetrated my ears.
"...Forget it, I have finally saved up enough contributions, and I want to ask Elder Mu for advice on how to choose a new Taoist method. Unexpectedly, I didn't even see Elder Mu's shadow when I went there yesterday. I heard from the disciples in the temple that Elder Mu didn't It’s time to take on the task of being in charge.”
"No way. I saw Elder Mu chatting and laughing with the little fairy in the hall a few days ago. It was very pleasant, but you went at the wrong time."
"I didn't go at the wrong time. Elder Mu really went back to the inner gate. I got up early this morning and went there. The leader of the hall has been replaced. I'm thinking again, should I choose a Taoist method based on my own feelings? , I’m afraid that this contribution will be in vain!”
"..."
The chattering sound was endless, and the disciples who were exercising were constantly glancing around. The guiding disciples probably knew that today was a chaotic day, and the disciples were also uneasy, so they stopped half a stick of incense in advance.
He guided the disciples to carry the sword and said, "Uncle Master today is Uncle Bai who was newly promoted to the Foundation Establishment realm half a year ago. The Tao he taught is related to promotion. I know that you are eager to listen to the Tao. After entering the temple, follow the rules of the Tao and do not make any noise. Wait for your uncle to arrive."
After he finished speaking, he opened the door and everyone rushed in excitedly.
Guo Ying'er walked up to Zhao Ning and said, "No wonder there are so many people today. They are all senior brothers and sisters who are advanced qi practitioners. Zhao Ning, let's go in and listen."
Zhao Ning nodded. The two of them were only a few steps behind. When they entered, they were already sitting inside. They found a corner and sat down. They heard people around them saying that it was slow to advance to the advanced level of Qi training. It is not possible to just practice. elevated.
After a while, Yun Jinfan, whom he hadn't seen for many days, came in from outside. Guo Ying'er waved to her in surprise and called her over.
Yun Jinfan was smiling all over his face and was in a good mood. It seemed that his wish had come true.
As soon as Yun Jinfan sat down, Guo Ying'er pulled her to talk, "I heard that you stayed in the Daofa Hall for several days and were not bullied."
