Feng Zixu didn't know the origin of the Zuowu Banner. She only thought that it was born with her innateness. Who would have thought that it actually fell from the sky last night.
Compared with the small bronze mirror that was inspired by Lu Yunzi and manifested in advance, Madara's slave was able to control it freely as soon as he got the Zougo Banner, which is the real exception.
Thinking of this, Qi Jingzhi couldn't help but glance at his mount, wanting to see where this guy was gifted and blessed.
Bannu saw his master looking over, and there seemed to be some evil in his eyes, so he quickly returned a cute and innocent look.
Feng Zixu on the side immediately became unhappy: "Huh? Why are you two flirting with each other behind my back?"
Hearing this, Qi Jingzhi was dumbfounded, while Ban Nu was excited and immediately turned his big wet eyes to the Master of Xuandu Temple, with an extremely flattering smile on his horse face.
Feng Zixu was too lazy to pay attention to it. He just looked at his disciple and continued: "Don't be too happy too early. After all, this accompanying weapon spirit is not a complete spiritual weapon. Even if it is really a treasure from heaven, it will still have to wait for you in the future. Ignite the Dao Fire, repair it with your own hands, and refine it into an innate weapon. Only then can you gradually revive and regain the power of the trapped Demon Lord in ancient times."
Qi Jingzhi nodded and asked curiously: "Master, is it possible that these companion weapon spirits were once rare treasures from ancient times? Bannu's Zuowu Banner is like this. No matter whether my mirror is locked or not, It's a magic mirror, but just by looking at the scars on its body, you can tell it's not a completely rootless new spirit."
Feng Zixu thought for a while before nodding and said: "Since objects have spirituality, they are sentient beings. Since monks can reincarnate and dismantle corpses, it is not necessarily true that the spirit of a weapon cannot change its body and rebuild its life. Accompanying spirits are rare. , it is said that they all choose their own masters, whether they are reborn or reincarnated, I think they all have some origins."
Hearing what his master said, Qi Jingzhi couldn't help but think of Jiuxiao Huan Peiqin.
Mu Yingxian once said that he would collect rare spiritual materials such as "Emperor's Blue Pearl, Divine Deer's Horn, Silk King's Silk, and Tongjun's Stem" before he could start refining his precious Yao Qin. If the small bronze mirror is really To refining the magic mirror, the spiritual materials required for refining are probably not much different.
Feng Zixu saw that her disciple was thoughtful and didn't know what thoughts were running in his heart. She was really angry and funny.
She immediately warned: "Destiny is impermanent, and only the virtuous will live in it. Although it is of great benefit to you to be favored by the accompanying weapon spirit, it is also inevitable that you will bear a burden of cause and effect on your shoulders. There is no saying that disaster will happen to you someday." . If you can't resist it, you are an unscrupulous person who stole the artifact, and you deserve to die!"
"You can never rely on external things. Only by working hard and improving day by day can you practice the right path!"
The master of Xuandu Temple paused, then changed the topic: "Speaking of practice... the blue-feathered and red-eyed crane that is my teacher is the essence of "Dancing Crane Picture" and is the place where you should work the most hard. , but it’s the last place you should care about.”
The meaning in this sentence is quite contradictory. Feng Zixu had to explain it in detail, but Qi Jingzhi already nodded clearly: "Those who learn from me will live, and those who resemble me will die!"
"My disciple understands what Master means, and he will retain his spirit and forget his form, and imagine a "Dancing Crane Picture" that is unique to him in his mind!"
Feng Zixu hesitated when he heard the words. The words he had originally thought of were blocked in his throat. The expression on his face could not be said, and he immediately gave his disciple a vicious look.
Although Qi Jingzhi felt confused, he was somewhat accustomed to his master's moodiness. He immediately changed the subject and said, "Master, we have been flying for so long, but do we want to return to Xianyu Mountain?"
As expected, Feng Zixu's attention was diverted, and he nodded matter-of-factly and said, "Since you have become my master, you will naturally return to the sect and practice with concentration to solidify the missing foundation."
Qi Jingzhi hesitated for a moment, then told the story about old man Qi suddenly leaving home and missing: "My grandpa is old and not good at spiritual practice. If my disciple only cares about himself and doesn't care about grandpa, Wouldn’t that make me an unfilial person?”
"Master said earlier that immortals have no relatives, but my disciple has received great kindness from me in raising him, and I really cannot abandon him."
Feng Zixu looked at the young man, his eyes a little softer, but his words were unforgiving: "What are these words? It seems that my teacher likes you so much."
He'er, it seems like I can't live without him for a moment! Want to stay longer on Xianyu Mountain? You are happy to be a teacher, but you are not happy yet! "
"You are young and inexperienced, and your wings are just beginning to mature. It is the time when you are about to fly high and see all the world's scenery. How can you do anything by hiding in a mountain gate?"
Seeing the surprise and joy on Qi Jingzhi's face, the master of Xuandu Temple raised the corners of his mouth and smiled: "Although our Xuandu Temple is a Taoist sect, we do not force our disciples to escape from the world and become a monk, and there are no rules about cutting off the secular ties. This time My master is just going to show you the mountain gate, and then pass on the next few volumes of the "Immortal Feather Sutra" to you, and then I will send you home."
"Didn't you say that you have sent a letter back to ask someone to inquire about my grandfather's whereabouts? With your intelligence and talent, you won't be able to stay in the mountain for a few days. You can't wait until you get home, and the letter you sent is still on the way!"
"Before you enter the fourth realm, no matter where you want to go or what you want to do, you don't have to ask me. Whether you are a filial piety in front of my grandfather or a lieutenant in Gouchenyuan, you can do whatever you want. Okay. What Xianyu Mountain wants is a towering crane, not a caged bird!"
After hearing this, Qi Jingzhi no longer had any worries in his heart. All that was left was curiosity and yearning for Xianyu Mountain: "Master, where is Xianyu Mountain?".
"You're lucky. Xianyu Mountain happened to fly over the sea in the southeast of Qi State in recent days. If it weren't for this, I wouldn't have arrived so quickly."
Feng Zixu calculated with his fingers as he spoke: "Although we have flown farther now, we are still less than eight thousand miles away from the so-called East China Sea in Qi State. Now we have been traveling for half a day, and we will be there soon."
As soon as she finished speaking, the Taiqing Sky Tower suddenly soared upward, rising to a higher and higher sky.
I don’t know how long I have been flying, but the Taiqing Tiancha has been far higher than the sea of jinxia clouds. Instead, the surrounding skylight has gradually dimmed, and it has become bitingly cold, freezing to the heart.
At first, Qi Jingzhi still had the medicinal power of Ruomu Chilu in his body, and Bannu also had thick fur prepared for the winter, which could still resist the cold. However, after a short time, the master and the servant found it difficult to support them, and had to rely on each other tightly. Keep warm.
With no time to appreciate the strange scenery at this infinite height, Qi Jingzhi had already activated his Wing Washing Strength to the extreme, but the flow of Qi and blood throughout his body became increasingly stagnant and slow.
He let out a breath of exhaustion, and his eyebrows were immediately covered with a layer of white frost. At the same time, white steam also steamed from the collar of his clothes, and soon condensed into many tiny ice crystals on the tips of his hair.
Heavy sleepiness hit his heart, and Qi Jingzhi had no choice but to open his eyes wide, only to find that his eyelashes were already covered in ice, almost blinding him.
He turned his head with difficulty and looked at his master who was just watching. He heard the sound of his teeth chattering as soon as he opened his mouth.
Seeing this, the corners of Feng Zixu's mouth turned up slightly, and she immediately raised her plain hands, released the green and red Cai Lian wrapped around her arms, and wrapped Qi Jingzhi and Ban Nu together into rice dumplings.
The Qinghua Shaoyang Qi is warm and genial, and the Hong Furnace Ding Fire Sword Intent is scorching and fierce. It instantly drives away the coldness around them, moistens the skin of the master and the servant, penetrates into the limbs and bones, and removes the cold energy accumulated in the organs and bone marrow. Get rid of them all.
With a shudder in his heart, Qi Jingzhi's sluggish thoughts became vivid again.
He looked out through the green and red as thin as a cicada's wings, and saw that there was a bright and rich starlight hanging down from a higher place at some point. The steep part looked like a silver waterfall, and the soothing part looked like a clear stream. creek.
Taiqing Tiancha fell into the river and was slowly moving upstream.
Qi Jingzhi looked up and saw that at the end of the silver waterfall was a vast Milky Way without end or end.
He let out an exclamation in his heart, and suddenly remembered the poem that Langya Lord Zheng Xian recited when he saw Taiqing Tiancha: "The water and sky are all the same color, and the jade sky is bright, and I want to take the boat up to Taiqing."
Feng Zixu's laughter sounded, sounding a little more ethereal and ethereal: "The Milky Way drifts back to the stars at night, and the flowing clouds in Yinpu learn the sound of water. The osmanthus trees in the Jade Palace have not yet fallen, and the immortal concubines are picking incense and hanging their tassels. .”
She also looked at the splendid Milky Way above her head: "It is said that when the heaven was still there in ancient times, the Milky Way was connected with the sea in the mortal world. There was a mortal who spent more than ten days floating on a river to reach the heaven and met the grandson who was weaving and tailoring clothes. , and was fortunate enough to be given a six-baht garment, also known as Yunjin Tianyi."
When it comes to "Yunjin Heavenly Clothes", the phoenix eyes of the Xuandu Temple Master in colorful feathers are shining, as bright as stars.
She paused briefly, and suddenly there was a hint of melancholy in her tone: "It's a pity that the ancient heaven no longer exists, and now there is nothing else in the galaxy except countless dead stars."
"Yunjin Tianyi?"
Qi Jingzhi almost immediately thought of the Tianyi Sect and the "Jizhu Jing": "If this legend is true, could it be that the Tianyi Sect is a Taoist inheritance established by mortals who ascended to the sea and received gifts from the gods?"
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but look back, only to see that the river behind him was gradually dissipating from far to near, and it was no longer difficult to discern the path it came from. He knew in his heart that this tributary of the Tianhe River was caused by his master, not that According to legend, mortals can also ascend to the sky on a raft.
Further down, there is a vast world that is boundless and can only barely distinguish the outline of the sea and land.
"Is that the land where the world lives? It's so far away, and it's so cold up there!"
Qi Jingzhi remembered the horror of almost freezing to death just now, and felt that there was still cold air coming out of his heart, which made him feel frightened.
He stared blankly for a long time, then looked back, shook his head towards Feng Zixu and said, "Without extraordinary cultivation or very special means, mortals probably wouldn't be able to reach such a high place, let alone reach the heaven directly and meet the celestial grandson. "
Hearing this, Feng Zixu couldn't help but give Qi Jing a sideways look, and said with hatred: "If you, little He'er, continue to be so boring, which little beauty will be able to look up to you, or will you end up alone? "
She babbled to her disciple and pointed forward: "Well, that is the foundation of our Xuandu Temple, the Immortal Feather Xuandu Cave Heaven!"
Qi Jingzhi perked up after hearing the words, and looked in the direction pointed by his master. He saw the outline of a huge object looming in the silver waterfall not far ahead, and it looked like something from a distance. A slightly dim ocher-yellow full moon.
As Taiqing Tiancha came closer and closer, and finally penetrated into the silver waterfall, Qi Jingzhi finally saw clearly that it was a stone drum several feet in diameter, standing on a huge ocher-yellow stone base.
The stone base and the outer wall of the stone drum are all carved with the shape of flying cranes, each with an elegant appearance. The surface of the drum is as smooth as a mirror and is engraved with several cross inscriptions, revealing the vicissitudes of ancient times.
"The crane is in the world, and it always sings in the sky. There is someone leaning on the autumn water, leaning on the staff in the bright moon."
"The jade trees are exposed in the middle of the night, and the wind is thousands of miles away from the Milky Way. The wandering mind is infinite, and it is late to get out of the cage."
Taiqing Tiancha didn't stop at all and crashed directly into the drum surface.
Immediately afterwards, whether it was the Tianhe Silver Waterfall or the simple stone drum, they all disappeared without a trace like bubbles in a dream.
Qi Jingzhi closed and opened his eyes, and the sky was bright in front of him.
He blinked and saw that what appeared in front of him was a small world with a universe and a hidden beauty. There was a blue sky above, thick soil below, white clouds in the middle, fairy mountains floating in the sky, and waterfalls between the peaks. Smoke and crane shadows fluttering.
The most amazing thing is that day and night are divided into two parts in this small world. There is a bright sun shining brightly in the east, and a bright moon hanging high in the west with bright stars.
"Is that Xianyu Mountain?"
Qi Jingzhi stared at the fairy mountain floating in the blue sky in front of him, half bathed in sunlight and half hidden in the night, his eyes unblinking, his face full of wonder, and he couldn't help but ask nonsense questions.
"Yes, that's Fairy Feather Mountain! It's sixty miles in circumference and three hundred feet high. It's connected by stone staircases and water drains. It's surrounded by mountains and forms a ring. From a distance, it looks like a crane holding its wings."
As Feng Zixu spoke, she pointed to the highest peak that was shaped like a crane's head and neck. She saw the bright red clouds on the peak, like a red peak: "That's where Xuandu Temple is!"
Qi Jingzhi then looked around and couldn't help but think of what Zheng Xian said: "There are thousands of green peach trees in Xuandu Temple. When the spring breeze comes, they are as bright as smoke."
He looked at Feng Zixu and asked curiously: "Master, is it spring in the Immortal Feather Xuandu Cave at this moment?"
"Yes, as the saying goes, heaven and earth are the furnace, and creation is the workmanship. The alternation of yin and yang between day and night, and the rotation of the five elements and four seasons in this cave can all be determined by my teacher's thought."
Although Feng Zixu's tone was calm,
It's bland, but in Qi Jingzhi's ears, it's hard to hide the proud meaning: "At the turn of spring and summer, the grass and trees are all over the sky; in autumn and winter, the snow and moon are all the same color; between the wind, rain, darkness, and the sky, the pitch is ever-changing..."
Qi Jingzhi nodded, his tone full of admiration: "My disciple remembers what my master once said, the power of heaven and earth is mixed with the black and yellow of the vitality; the yin and yang are unknown, conquering the fortune in the furnace. The spring is prosperous and the autumn is falling, and the four seasons change the opportunity of cold and heat; The Jade Rabbit and the Golden Crow, the two rays of light convey the hidden destiny. These words should be here!"
Feng Zixu couldn't help but glance at the young man. Even though he had known for a long time that this disciple had a high level of understanding, there was still surprise and approval in his eyes.
With curved lips and a smile on her face, she nodded gently and said, "Xiao He'er is right. The Immortal Feather Xuandu Cave is arranged like this just for the purpose of cultivating the Hong Furnace Ding Fire Sword Intent. It can be said to be of great help and get twice the result with half the effort!"
