Outside the dust of the years, amid the fallen leaves in the mountain breeze, I sit and watch the white clouds rise, not knowing any worries or sorrows.
Daozhen Sect is located in the deep valleys of secluded mountains, inaccessible and peaceful. Yu Tianqing meditates on Taoism and practices sword skills every day, which is quite satisfying. Bai Yunshen also stayed in Daozhen Sect on the grounds of learning swordsmanship with Yu Tianqing.
The rising sun is in the sky, and the sky is filled with rays of rays.
By the mountain stream, two figures were entangled. One person and one sword, dragons and phoenixes, turned this dilapidated place into an extremely charming and romantic place.
Baiyun Shen's sword has deep meaning, opens and closes widely, and is as stable as Mount Tai.
Yu Tianqing is clear, free and easy, the sword is like a startling giant, and it is as powerful as a swimming dragon.
The two of them can be said to be evenly matched, and both of them are people with extraordinary concentration. After exchanging moves, they always feel that they are not exhausted. They practice each other every day for several months without getting bored.
The swords were lifted, and they looked at each other and smiled.
Seeing her face blooming like a hibiscus and her forehead dripping with sweat, Bai Yunshen couldn't help but step forward and wipe the sweat with his sleeves.
A strong masculine scent instantly occupied Yu Tianqing's breath. She had never been so close to a man before, and she was a little confused for a moment.
"Cough...cough..."
Two unexpected coughs interrupted their movements.
The person who came was none other than Dao Xuanzi. He was stroking his beard and smiling.
Bai Yunshen separated from Yu Tianqing slightly awkwardly.
"Master Dao, do you want to see me if you have something to do?"
Normally Dao Xuanzi would not disturb Yu Tianqing's sword practice, but when he appeared now, he thought something was wrong.
"good."
Dao Xuanzi took out a gold-plated invitation card from his wide sleeves. On it were written four characters with flying dragons and phoenixes: Dao Xingtianxia.
"Tao Xing Tianxia is a conference jointly organized by the cultivation world. The purpose is to gather talents from all over the world. Anyone who receives this invitation can participate in the competition in one month."
Bai Yunshen said, "As far as I know, the Daozhen Sect has never participated in the Dao Dharma Competition in its history."
"That's right." Daoxuanzi said, "The ancestors of our sect have only focused on understanding the meaning of Taoism, and have not paid much attention to Taoism. But I was lucky enough to participate once when I was young."
Recalling the beginning, Dao Xuanzi couldn't help but sigh and said slowly, "Back then, I boasted that I was successful in my Taoism, so I secretly went down the mountain to practice without telling my master. At that time, I met a senior brother from the Tianshan Sect. In order to win against me, he used seven skills to defeat me. Injury punch, I knew that if he used the last punch, he would be severely injured and difficult to treat. At that moment, I hesitated, but... I still shot him."
"What's the result?" Yu Tianqing asked.
Dao Xuanzi said, "I defeated my opponent, but he was unconscious due to serious injuries. Although he saved his life in the end, his cultivation was completely gone."
Yu Tianqing sighed, "Anything will happen on the competition field. Since it was his own choice, there is nothing to complain about."
Dao Xuanzi sighed softly, "If I were willing to stop and admit defeat, how could he have lost all his cultivation? For a cultivator, cultivation is more precious than life. I don't dare to think about how he will face it." future."
Bai Yunshen said, "Although you have a kind heart, Master, the competition is just for competition. Even if you retreat, the opponent may not be willing to let you go. Besides, the power of the Seven Injury Fist cannot be underestimated. If you are really benevolent in your thoughts, , I’m afraid it’s me who’s injured.”
Dao Xuanzi said, "My intention is not to discuss the results. What I want to say is our thoughts. What exactly do we care about at that moment?"
Yu Tianqing looked confused, "Master, I don't quite understand what you said."
"After all, enlightenment behind closed doors is a dead tree without spring. Only by tempering one's mind through experience can one truly understand the meaning of Tao."
Yu Tianqing suddenly realized, "So, the leader wants me to participate in the Taoist competition."
"Exactly."
"But before that, Miss Yu needs to participate in the local selection meeting."
"The selection meeting?"
Dao Xuanzi chuckled and said, "Miss Yu doesn't know something. In recent decades, the Zixing Sect has controlled the local Taoist sects. Every time there is a Taoism conference, another selection meeting will be set up in the local area, and the top three in the selection meeting will Only if you are famous, you are qualified to participate in the 'Tao Xing Tian Xia' conference."
"So, what the leader is saying is that I still need to win the place in the selection competition, right?"
Dao Xuanzi shook his head, "No."
Yu Tianqing was puzzled.
Dao Xuanzi stretched out his finger and said with a smile, "He is the leader."
At the foot of the mountain, Tianning City.
Whip silk hat shadow, lively scenery. Although the selection meeting was only a small one, there were still countless monks who came, all of them arrogant and high-spirited. If a famous monk passes by, there will immediately be a sound of envy.
Yu Tianqing is a very quiet person and is not used to appearing in crowded places. She silently followed Master and Disciple Dao Xuanzi. On the other hand, it was Jiang Feng's first time coming to the selection meeting, and he was in high spirits and dancing all the way.
"Sister Yu, look, there are still people who can breathe fire."
Following Jiang Feng's instructions, some entertainers set up stalls on the roadside early, beating gongs and drums, and shouting: "The rich have a money show, and the poor have a personal show." 'It's so lively.
Although Yu Tianqing knew it was fake, he still found it interesting.
Seeing that there were too many people, they were crowded, shoulder to shoulder. Yu Tianqing never liked to get close to others. When she retreated, she fell on a thick chest. It turned out that Bai Yunshen was right behind her, keeping silently. Watch over her.
He raised his arms to protect her and led her away from the crowd.
Yu Tianqing said softly, "Thank you."
Bai Yunshen smiled and said nothing, but after half a month, the two seemed to have a good understanding.
"Get out of the way...get out of the way..."
Several fast horses came at a gallop. Pedestrians were seen flying into each other, and the merchants' shops on both sides fell to the ground one by one. For a while, shouts and screams came and went, and it was an unbearable mixture.
"Be careful." Bai Yunshen shouted suddenly.
I saw a whip shadow coming toward Yu Tianqing. With deep eyes and quick hands, Bai Yun took Yu Tianqing in his arms, touched the ground with one foot, and floated away in an instant.
"Huh?"
With a soft voice of doubt, a pair of charming eyes flashed past the two of them.
Most of the pedestrians on the road are monks. If they were riding horses normally, they would have been subdued long ago. The people who passed by just now used their true energy to control the whip, and they were jumping on their backs and horses all the way, so they were so impudent.
"Oh my God, the woman who took the lead just now is Lu Qi'er, the head disciple of the Luliu Clan, right?"
"No way. How come the selection meeting organized by the Purple Star Sect can still disturb the Green Willow Sect, which ranks fourth among the seven sects?"
"Whatever, there's something good to watch now."
Jiang Feng listened to the pedestrians talking and couldn't help but ask, "Master, isn't the Green Willow Gate thousands of miles away in the south of the Yangtze River? Why are you here in this deserted land? Are you coming here for us?"
Dao Xuanzi stroked his beard and said, "Now that it's here, let's make peace with it and wait and see what happens."
Jiang Feng chuckled, "We have Sister Yu and Brother Bai. I think whoever comes will beat them down."
"A dog with its tail raised." Dao Xuanzi slapped him on the back of the head, "Speak less and don't be too troublesome."
"I'm telling the truth." Jiang Feng touched his head and said in dissatisfaction to Dao Xuanzi, "I am a dog with a tail raised, and you are not a dog wearing silver bells in the ears. Otherwise, why would you want Sister Yu to participate in this talent selection? meeting."
"Hey! You little bastard, you haven't put on the roof for three days, right?" Dao Xuanzi took his fly whisk and hit Jiang Feng.
One master and one apprentice started making trouble in the street.
