Seeing Qi Jing's eyes flashing thoughtfully, Langya Lord Zheng Xian burst into laughter.
He shook his head slightly, half joking, half reminding: "As the saying goes, the green mountains have thoughts, and the white crane forgets the machine. You young man thinks too much, and you don't know how you completed the "Immortal Feather Sutra"."
After hearing this, Qi Jingzhi immediately came back to his senses.
Of course, he knew that the Angry Crane he had achieved by mistake was probably not authentic, and his cultivation at Dinxia was barely continued by relying on the "Secret Technique of Qiu Chu Cheng Yun" and "Wind Song of Ten Thousand Valley Pines".
Although there is a sentence in the latter's annotation, "A crane counts a thousand years of life, and a pine lives forever," which is quite consistent with the "Immortal Feather Sutra", it is not from the same lineage after all. The differences will only get bigger.
If given the opportunity, Qi Jingzhi would naturally want to take a look at the complete "Immortal Feather Sutra" and even truly worship at the Immortal Feather Mountain. Unfortunately, he still doesn't know where the Immortal Feather Mountain is.
Regarding this, he once asked Deng Fuqing on the Caojiang River, but the other party refused to tell him because he was afraid of upsetting the master of Xuandu Temple.
This also made Qi Jingzhi always worried about Xianyu Mountain. He didn't know what kind of sect it was and how it would deal with his situation. Therefore, even though Lord Langya obviously had a close relationship with Ding Lingwei, he was even more worried about Xianyu Mountain. They were quite familiar, so he didn't ask rashly.
At this moment, when he heard Lord Langya take the initiative to refer to the "Immortal Feather Sutra", Qi Jingzhi thought about it, and then he smiled calmly and said: "Although I have cultivated my heart and soul and embarked on the path, I still don't know how I achieved my achievements in the first place. I’m still confused to this day.”
"It's just that a senior once said to me that there are never two identical people in this world, and naturally there will be no two identical hearts. As the saying goes... those who learn from me will live, and those who imitate me will die."
"This junior is convinced of this. What's more, this temperament of being overthinking when things happen is innate and cannot be changed. It is really difficult to cultivate into a leisurely cloud and wild crane that is indifferent and pure, and has no choice but to be like a wandering crane. He is an outlier and a deviant.”
Along the way, Qi Jingzhi always thought a lot about things, but he also kept in mind the true meaning of the word "Qi Jing" and always encouraged himself with sincerity and righteousness. He did not lack persistence and determination when things happened.
In addition to avoiding talking about his identity, his words were also completely from the bottom of his heart. Even because he was sincere and honest, his heart became empty.
Zheng Xian naturally sensed the change in the young man's mood, and a strange color suddenly flashed in his eyes.
The Langya Lord was indeed aroused to talk, and couldn't help laughing: "Zheng just thinks it's strange, I really can't figure out how Xianyu Mountain selects the seeds for Taoism."
"This was the case for Ding Lingwei at the time. He was obviously a direct descendant of the Huben clan, and his intention to worship at Xianyu Mountain was even more impure. He just wanted to use the "Immortal Feather Sutra" to develop military formations. However, the previous generation of Xuandu Temple Master was actually He agreed straight away, showed no secrets, and gave everything to him, but Ding Lingwei really succeeded in cultivating the skills."
Zheng Xian paused, glanced at Jian Renshou behind Qi Jingzhi, and said with a smile: "And you, a young man with a twisted mind, obviously Xuan Du Guan inherited the world's best swordsmanship. , you have just practiced a knife that can "fry people's life" and enter the world. If you say you don't have any other intentions, I don't believe it!"
"The best in the world? Unparalleled swordsmanship?"
Qi Jingzhi's heart moved when he heard this, and he immediately remembered the little poem that the previous Xuandu Temple Master had given to Deng Fuqing.
He knew that Lord Langya in front of him was really a man who had a lot of poems and books and loved to recite them. He immediately fell in love with him and started to recite: "The breeze goes up to the sky with both sleeves, and a sword flies across the end of the East China Sea. No one knows when he returns as a crane. , the spring breeze blooms all the peach blossoms!"
Qi Jingzhi previously thought that the first two lines of the poem were only talking about Deng Fuqing, but he did not expect that Xianyu Mountain had a very powerful swordsmanship inheritance.
This poem really tickled Zheng Xian's itch, so much so that Lord Langya was shocked and moved.
He closed his eyes and thought about it for a moment, then opened his eyes and sighed softly: "Just looking at the artistic conception of this poem, you can tell that it was written by the previous generation Xuandu Temple Master. I once heard Ding Lingwei say that there are thousands of green peaches in Xuandu Temple. Trees, when the spring breeze comes, shine like haze."
"No one knows the return of a crane... The crane transformed by Ding Lingwei's corpse is staying on Xianyu Mountain. How can there be any talk of return? Could it be that in the eyes of that senior, Ding Lingwei's spirituality still has the day to return to the mountain to view flowers? ?”
Langya Lord Zheng Xian showed an excited look on his face, and looked at Qi Jingzhi with a different look: "Thank you very much, little friend, for sending me this poem! As the saying goes, it is disrespectful to come back and not reciprocate!"
He pondered for a moment, and then continued: "I think your little friend's mind is different from ordinary people, and he will not be really infected by distracting thoughts. It's just that thinking too much will eventually hinder your practice, especially the next mental state." Phase manifestation.”
"It just so happened that when Zheng was still called An Qisheng, he found an article on how to save the world in an ancient book. It only contained a few crosses, but it conveyed the true meaning. Please listen carefully!"
"The Immortal Path is not far away, it is close to all bodies. There is no thought or action, neither vomiting nor taking in. The true one is filled within, and immortality soars. Don't let you think about the camp, it is the life of Laoer. The Supreme Master said, if it is continuous, it will exist. If you don’t use it diligently, that’s the true way.”
This so-called secret of saving the world is indeed very short, and its meaning is extremely simple. If Lord Langya hadn't said it first, Qi Jingzhi would have thought that these few sentences were to persuade people to be more relaxed and less worried. He never expected that they were actually talking about manifesting the mind. Guanqiao.
He immediately bowed his hands and thanked Lord Langya for the gift, and then asked doubtfully: "Senior, I dare to ask, in the phrase 'the true one is filled within', what should be the meaning of the word 'true one'?"
Zheng Xian replied: "It refers to the Qi of the True One. As for the specific meaning, it depends on what you choose when you eat Xia Shiqi."
Hearing this, Qi Jingzhi couldn't help but nodded silently and thought to himself: "Senior Deng Fuqing once said that the heart of the third level of achievement in the first level, the mind of the third level of manifestation in the second level, together with the third level of achievement, The third layer of condensed Tao seeds, the three of them progress step by step, and together they are the Tao foundation of a monk..."
"For me, this so-called 'fullness of truth within' means injecting the energy of pines, cypresses, armor and wood into the heart and bones of the angry crane? The heart and bones of the angry crane obviously have no substance, although the color of the feathers will follow my As your practice progresses and changes, can you really blend with spiritual energy?"
Thinking of this, Qi Jingzhi's heart moved, and he suddenly remembered the red gold beads of the past, the golden giant tree just now, and the golden dates of today. Although they are not the same thing, they are always in the same vein and have traces to follow. Can be used as future reference.
Zheng Xian and other young men thought for a moment, then smiled and said: "The Immortal Feather Sutra has its own magic method in this step. Zheng's method is really not worth mentioning. I can just treat it as an old guy's nagging. That's it. Well, it’s only fair that Zheng gives you another poem.”
Upon hearing that Lord Langya was about to recite poetry again, the faces of the three young people all showed a somewhat strange look.
"Speaking of the poems of the previous generation of Xuandu Guanzhu, my little friend naturally knows much more than Zheng, but he may not have missed anything. Back then, the senior came to Tiantai Mountain to wander around and discussed Taoism with Zheng's master for several days. , before he left, he left a poem that expounded on the wonders of the two families’ spiritual practice, so I would just like to take it out and share it with my children!”
However, Langya Jun's expression became solemn. He cleared his throat before starting to chant.
"When summer passes and cold comes, who will bring great medicine to the beautiful face? A man riding a whale will go to the Tianlian River, and a man riding a crane will return to the moon-filled mountains."
"The flames of the furnace burn the realm of lust, and the sword peak cuts off the famous pass. Fireworks follow the green rocks, and the apes and birds are not startled by the spring scenery."
Regardless of whether this poem still exists in Xuandu Temple of Xianyu Mountain, Qi Jingzhi had never heard of it, so Lord Langya recited it solemnly, and the young man listened attentively.
As the name suggests, the "crane-crossing man" in this poem is undoubtedly the previous generation Xuandu temple master who is about to say goodbye and return to the mountain, while the "whale rider" should be someone who lives in the blue sea and green abyss and sees "long waves of whales and chisels" every day. The previous leader of the Bihai Immortal Sect who "dragons flow side by side".
"The sword peak cuts off the fame and wealth gate? It is indeed a sword from the world! As for the flames of the furnace burning the realm of lust..."
Qi Jingzhi immediately looked at the golden tripod in front of him. The so-called "Golden Stove God Cauldron, the Returning Elixir Gold Liquid, ascends to the heavens and the earth, and lives forever" is so different from the two sentences "When the summer passes and the cold comes, who will bring the great medicine to the beautiful face". appropriate?
Langya Lord Zheng Xian noticed the young man's gaze and immediately nodded and said with a smile: "Just as I thought, most of the reasons why Zheng joined the Bihai Immortal Sect of Tiantai Mountain lie in this ancestral golden tripod!"
After saying that, he suddenly raised his hand, and the golden dates transformed from the golden tree fell into the golden cauldron, disappearing under the boiling clouds of golden smoke, causing Wei Bao on the side to exclaim in surprise.
At the same time, the whole body of the golden cauldron was enveloped by a multicolored golden flame, forcing Qi Jingzhi, who was closest to the cauldron, to retreat continuously.
Zheng Xian looked at Wei Bao and explained patiently: "You don't have to worry. This golden date is tied to Zheng's lifelong practice. Entering this cauldron will be like a fish in water. Not only will your tribe be safe, but it will also be of great benefit."
After saying that, Lord Langya stretched out his white feather fan and made a move, and a total of nine golden dates, three big and six small, flew out from behind him and slowly floated towards the golden tripod.
However, these giant dates did not fall into the cauldron, but hung in the sky above the golden cauldron, while at the same time they were shrouded in colorful golden flames.
After a while, their golden date skins became transparent due to burning, revealing the scene inside.
Among the three golden dates that are as tall as a person are the Anfeng Hou Ding Chengyuan, the big black Mingshen covered with black feathers, and the dying Taoist Tiger King.
All three people had their eyes closed tightly, seemingly unaware of the changes in the outside world.
The remaining six golden dates are much smaller. They contain the golden lace clothes of An Fenghou, the seven-star cold-warming hook, the sunset molten gold sword, a much smaller golden phoenix nest, a jade box of unknown origin and ...The demon boy who is actually not dead yet.
"Master Hou!"
After all, Geshu Dashi was from Anfenghou Mansion. Seeing this, he couldn't help but call out to Ding Chengyuan, but he didn't get any response. He had to stare at Langya Lord closely to see how he would deal with these golden dates. People and things.
Zheng Xian's eyes swept over the nine golden dates one by one, and suddenly pointed at the one with the golden robe with a white feather fan.
The golden jujube that was pointed at immediately melted, and together with the golden lining inside, turned into a ball of golden juice, which then faintly condensed into the shape of a golden toad, with three toad feet stepping on a piece of black sea water.
However, neither the three-legged golden toad nor the black water filthy sea, because their bodies are much smaller than before, can no longer see the slightest bit of the majestic power that once swept over the two great monks of the Tianyi Sect.
Langya Lord Zheng Xian said in a calm tone: "After all, it is a remnant of heaven, born of strange energy, and it is used for fertility. I will allow you to put it into Zheng's cauldron as an adjuvant. As for the black water and filthy sea, you can use it as firewood!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the three-legged golden toad fell into the golden cauldron, and also evaporated into clouds and smoke.
The Yun She Wu Hu, who had not been seen for a long time, immediately appeared, circling around the three-legged golden toad with a scrutinizing gaze.
At the same time, the Black Water Dirty Sea was swept up by the five-colored golden flames and disappeared immediately.
The three young men were horrified when they saw it. At this moment, they realized where the Cloud Snake and Mist Tiger in the Red Gold Knife came from. They were probably some kind of alien species, and were used by Lord Langya as medicinal materials to put into the cauldron.
As for the two coughing golden birds, I don't know if they were too weak to take the lead, or if they were not even qualified to be used as medicinal materials, they were really eaten by the cloud snakes and fog tigers.
The second one to suffer was the phoenix nest made of gold tiles.
With a wave of Langya Lord's white feather fan, this treasure that Ding Chengli and Yu Yuanzong poured countless efforts and even lives into, together with the jujube peel outside, silently melted into a ball of golden juice. However, due to insufficient quality and mixed smell, , failed to obtain the qualification to enter the cauldron, and also turned into firewood of colorful golden flames.
Next, Langya Lord Zheng Xian hesitated slightly and looked at the Sunset Molten Gold Sword.
As the golden jujube skin melted, the magic weapon belonging to Anfeng Hou Ding Chengyuan actually maintained its original shape.
Zheng Xian held the golden lacquer dagger in his hand and looked at it for a long time before sighing: "The setting sun melts gold, the dusk clouds merge together, where are the people? The willows are dyed thick with smoke, the plum flute is played with resentment, how much spring is coming..."
"This sword is really consistent with Ri Ru's authority, but I, Zheng Xian, don't allow it!"
Lord Langya followed his words, but without seeing his movements, the Sunset Molten Gold Sword suddenly let out a cry, and in a moment, the phantom of a green-gold copper ax flew out of it.
Seeing this, Langya Lord Zheng Xian casually threw the golden lacquer dagger towards the golden date where the big black god was.
The sunset molten gold sword turned into a stream of light and appeared almost instantly in front of the head of the big black god in the center, piercing through the eyebrows.
Zheng Xianfu stretched out his hand to pinch the shadow of the green gold and copper axe, and while looking at it, he murmured: "The setting sun melts gold, the dusk clouds merge together, where is the person?"
He paused, then asked and answered himself: "I am on Xianyu Mountain, in the Wuji Wilderness! There are thousands of peach trees in Xuandu, waiting for Ding Ling to return!"
After saying this, Zheng Xian suddenly glanced at Qi Jingzhi.
The long knife on the young man's back jumped out of the sheath on its own again and flew towards Zheng Xian.
"The blue sky is high and the yellow earth is thick... It sounds lifeless, how can it be like the blue sky and the yellow leaves?"
This time, when Langya Lord Zheng Xian looked at Jian Renshou again, he seemed to find it extremely pleasing to the eye. He actually smiled and began to chant loudly.
"The sky is blue and the leaves are yellow on the ground. The autumn colors are in waves, and the cold smoke is green on the waves. The mountains reflect the setting sun and the sky meets the water, and the fragrant grass is ruthless, even outside the setting sun."
Before the song was finished, Zheng Xian suddenly raised the shadow of a jade-gold copper ax and pressed it on the blade of the long sword in front of him.
"Jianrenshou, Jianrenshou, today I will teach you how to live up to your name!"
Huang Gong, a native of the East China Sea, was skilled in martial arts when he was young and could control snakes and tigers. Wearing a red gold sword and binding her hair with crimson silk, she raised up the clouds and formed mountains and rivers. Due to aging, exhausted strength, and excessive drinking, the technique cannot be repeated. At the end of the Qin Dynasty, a white tiger was seen in the East China Sea, and Huang Gong was disgusted with it with a red sword. Since he was unable to perform the technique, he was killed by a tiger. "Miscellaneous Notes on Xijing"
An Qisheng attained the Tao in Zhifu Mountain. He held a red sword to tame a tiger, commanding people from left to right to advance and retreat, just as he tugged at a child. Huang Gong of the East China Sea saw it and admired it. He said that his spirit was in the sword, so he stole it and wore it. When you encounter a tiger on the road, you draw your sword to block it. If you fail to win, you will be eaten by the tiger. "Yu Liion Geng Huo"
In the past, some people obtained Anqi jujube and cooked it for three days in the south of the river. The fragrance was heard for ten miles, and the dead were reborn and the sick were raised. People ate it and the sun rose during the day. Therefore, the place was named Boiled Jujube. "Jia Zi talks about the forest"
Immortals may ascend to heaven or live in the earth, and they must live forever. They go and stay according to their own preferences. After taking the alchemy liquid, if you still want to live in the world, just take half of it. If you want to go away from immortality, you should take it all... Mr. Xi'anqi, Longmei Ninggong, Xiu Yanggong, and Yin Changsheng all take half a dose of golden liquid. They will last for nearly a thousand years and then remove their ears. "Baopuzi"
