You Ziji entered the stone arch and walked along the path. The road was overgrown with weeds, like a rarely visited mountain path, and it was almost impossible to see the direction of the road. If it weren't for the strong aura of monks everywhere in the mountains, he would have thought he had been thrown into the wilderness and ignored.
Suddenly I heard the sound of breaking through the sky above my head. When I looked up, I saw a wisp of green light passing through the sky.
"Is this flying with a sword? It's really exciting. No wonder the road under your feet is so bumpy and difficult. I'm afraid the monks of Xuanming Dao rarely walk on mountain roads, they all fly with a sword."
You Ziji was open-minded and did not want to be restricted by the small mountain road. He used his body skills to jump up to the tree crown. When the breeze came slowly, he walked on the wind. When the wind gradually died down, he stopped to admire the scenery. As for whether the direction was correct, he didn't really care. Even if you are walking along that mountain road, who can guarantee that you will never go astray? Just follow your heart.
As he walked and walked, he saw a mountain peak standing in front of him. It towered into the clouds and the top could not be seen. Youziji looked very small at the foot of the mountain, and even the heaven and earth seemed inferior.
You Ziji aroused the desire to win, so he wanted to climb to the top to see the scenery from above.
Just as he was about to start, he was stopped by a voice, "Junior brother, wait a minute."
When Youzi Jiwen looked around, he saw a golden light on the horizon approaching from far away, slowly enlarging in size. However, it was a young monk who was galloping towards here with a golden flying sword on his feet.
The young man looked about the same size as Lingri and Lingyue, and the aura he exuded was that of a Xuanjing monk.
You Ziji guessed that this person was most likely the senior brother who greeted him, so he stopped where he was and waited. The young monk rushed here, put away his flying sword, and couldn't help but marvel at the mountains in front of him. You Ziji saw that the young man's clothes were bright and shiny, with exquisite materials and shapes. He looked like a young master, especially the conspicuous golden flying sword. It was known that he had a lot of money, and asked: "You Ziji, senior brother just called stop." What's wrong with me?"
The young man said: "My surname is Ji and my name is Wen Yi. I am your senior brother. I am here to pick you up, Xiao Ba Shi."
You Ziji pointed at himself in confusion, "Little eighty?"
"That's right, it's you. I, Xuan Mingdao, now have a total of eighty people including you."
"So few?" You Ziji was very surprised. There were only eighty disciples of Xuan Ming Dao, which was a bit unmatched for the names of the six major sects.
"That's natural." Ji Wenyi was obviously very proud of this matter. "There were only sixty disciples and elders in the previous generation. Our current generation has the largest number in history. It is really a sign of the prosperity of the sect."
"What? Including the elders of the sect, there are only eighty people. Are we so strict in recruiting disciples?"
You Ziji didn't know why, but he felt a little unconfident. He didn't think he was a great genius.
Ji Wenyi didn't know what You Ziji was thinking, so he replied: "That's natural. I, the Xuanming Dao, accept disciples only based on fate. Even if you are a genius and have no fate with us, we will not accept you."
You Ziji breathed a sigh of relief. It turned out that it wasn't based on qualifications, but recalling Chang Yunbai's experience when he met him, he was a little confused and asked, "Then what does it mean to be destined?"
"Take it if you want to, and don't if you don't want to. If you catch up, you are destined, if you don't catch up, you are not destined. The premise is that it looks pleasing to the eye. I think you are particularly pleasing to the eye, junior brother."
You Ziji was stunned, as if he had never thought about this answer. He even began to imagine the personality of the disciples of Xuanming Taoism, "We are really casual."
"Of course, the path to transcendence that I seek is the path to the heart. Be at ease in your heart, and neither the world nor the world can restrain you. I saw my junior brother walking on the wind just now, very free and easy. He is indeed the seedling of my Xuanming Dao. "
You Ziji said sheepishly: "I just saw the pleasant scenery and my open-mindedness, so I became a little more presumptuous."
"As long as you don't do anything harmful to nature, you can be as arrogant as you want." Ji Wenyi blinked, "The premise is that you have the strength. Don't say that your senior brother didn't remind you. If you don't want to be scolded by your elders, it's best to put your specialness first. Hobbies are hidden.”
"Senior Brother Ji, you are worrying too much. I don't have that kind of hobby."
"How could it not be? Your senior brothers and sisters have all experienced it. For example, I like to collect treasures. When I see good things, I want to buy them. At that time, I was dealt with badly by the second senior brother. I am just saying this. It’s well-founded.”
"Thank you, senior brother, for the tip."
Ji Wenyi chatted for a long time before remembering the business, "Junior brother and I hit it off right away, but we forgot about the business. Let's not stay here anymore, stay away from it."
You Ziji looked around, and it seemed that the only thing Ji Wenyi could refer to as "it" was the mountain peak in front of him.
"Senior brother, is there something weird about this mountain peak?"
Ji Wenyi said: "Of course, this is the masterpiece of your Uncle Wen Yan. Don't you think it's a bit ridiculous that the mountain is so high?"
"It's indeed a bit too high. It feels like it can connect heaven and earth." You Ziji truthfully stated his feelings.
"There is no such a high mountain in the world. You are confused by it. Our Uncle Wen Yan likes to study some magic. This is based on the Buddhist theory and the magical power of Sumerana Mustard Seed. When you enter the mountain In fact, my body has shrunk, so I feel that this mountain peak is extremely tall, as high as the sky and the earth. Moreover, after shrinking, the area of the mountain is at least the size of Longzhou compared to you. If you just went in directly, I would have looked for you. It’s a lot of effort.”
"It's actually so dangerous." You Ziji was still frightened and hurriedly left here with Ji Wenyi.
"Actually, it's not that dangerous in the first place. It's just that this mountain peak is used by Uncle Wen Yan for experiments. If you fall in, she will know it and come to rescue you. Your life will be safe. Just scold you." But it is indispensable.”
Ji Wenyi sent Feijian to take You Ziji with him, and the two chatted while rushing on their way.
Seeing that Ji Wenyi had to go around some places even though he could go straight, You Ziji was very puzzled and asked:
"Brother, is it possible that there is danger ahead, so we have to take a detour."
"Junior Brother You is smart. This road is full of traps set by Senior Brother when he was practicing. Later, as his cultivation progressed, he had to dismantle these formations when he didn't need them. But our Second Senior Brother said that this thing is very good. The trial place is specially used for the training of junior brothers and sisters with weak cultivation, so I stayed here. Junior brother, please remember the location carefully. If you accidentally fall into the trap in the future, there will be punishment."
When Ji Wenyi said this, his body curled up unconsciously. It was obvious that this punishment was not so pleasing to people.
"Don't worry, Xuanmingdao is so big, I may not encounter him a few times."
Ji Wenyi strongly disagreed with You Ziji's words and said: "Junior brother can't go to some places, and I'm afraid I'll have to take the trap road. Junior brother, do you know why our Xuanming Road is so big, and why the elders of our sect live far away from each other?" , they can’t be very withdrawn and don’t like to communicate.”
You Ziji didn't know. He racked his brains and thought for a while, then guessed: "Maybe the elders are studying the magic and don't want anyone to disturb them."
"What you said is not bad, but you didn't hit the point." Ji Wenyi came to You Ziji and said, "Spiritual consciousness is something that everyone has, but only in the foundation-building realm can you feel its existence. , knowing that there is such a thing, you can only start to use it when you reach the profound realm, and you can send and receive it freely only when you reach the moon-watching realm.
Divine consciousness can replace your own senses and experience everything in the world more directly. Generally, monks let go of their spiritual consciousness and use themselves as the center of the circle. They can perceive the surrounding situation for roughly two or three miles. This is not the limit distance that they can focus on. Moreover, the deeper their cultivation, the wider the range of their perception.
The spiritual consciousness emitted by the monks in the Moon Watching Realm at all times will autonomously collect the surrounding information. If they are close, they will be able to hide everything they do, and the other party will know everything, without any privacy. If things go on like this , it will definitely be uncomfortable.
Therefore, in addition to having special duties, monks in the Moon Watching Realm in the sect have to build training places at appropriate distances according to their own strength. Anyway, with their strength, if they leave their own yard, they are basically at the door of someone else's house. For For them, it's not far. "
You Ziji thought thoughtfully, "So, Xuan Mingdao has already planned the neighborhood, but it can't be seen from the outside. If I accidentally go to the wrong place, I will be considered as breaking into the elder's house."
"That's right." Ji Wenyi looked like a coward.
The two of them walked with swords at a very fast speed and soon reached their destination. There were several huts at their feet. Ji Wenyi lowered his flying sword and stood in front of the hut door.
"This is your temporary residence, junior brother, but no one has lived here for two or three years, so you have to clean it up. I will take you to the library to meet senior brothers and sisters tomorrow morning."
"Library?"
Ji Wenyi pointed to the mountain behind You Ziji and said: "That's the library, which is our gathering place. There are more than thirty monks staying there. Other brothers and sisters live around the foot of the mountain. If you are interested , you can go and have a look around, maybe you will meet a fellow disciple. I still have homework to do, so I left first. Junior brother, please have a good night's rest here."
You Ziji nodded and watched Ji Wenyi leave.
He looked at the rather dilapidated thatched hut and thought to himself, this is my first practice in Xuan Ming Dao.
Fortunately, he had some experience rebuilding the villa with the Taoist priests from Tianyu Temple when he was at Tianhai Lake, so it was not difficult to clean up the house and repair the roof.
You Ziji first found many usable items in the house, then fetched some clean water, wiped the inside and outside of the house several times, and took some thatch to plug the holes in the roof. He worked until evening.
He didn't know where to eat when he first arrived, and he didn't dare to hunt game in the mountains. No one knew if it was someone's pet. He had no choice but to light the stove, boil some hot water, tear up the uneaten dry food, soak it in it, sprinkle some salt in it, and eat happily.
Seeing that it was getting late and he was not familiar with it, he decided to go back to the house to practice as he planned to visit somewhere else.
Little did he know that his actions had already been noticed by others.
