"Master Xuandu doesn't need to be polite."
The saint of Southern History had an ancient appearance and a harmonious attitude. He nodded gently towards Feng Zixu and said: "I heard that Xianyu Mountain has been closed for hundreds of years. Today I went here with Qingcheng to patrol the sky. I saw the appearance of the Crane God Drum from a distance. If you are in the Tianhe River, I will come over and disturb you."
Feng Zixu bowed slightly and responded: "Thank you, saint, I'm thinking of you! I didn't deliberately close the mountain, but I've always been lazy and don't like to socialize with others."
"Furthermore, I rarely have visitors to this cave. When others see the Crane God Drum, they are afraid to avoid it, and few come near. After all, it is often said that the Tai Sui who brings disaster and the Crane God who consumes energy are all the same. Wherever it goes, there will be disaster."
The Saint of Southern History was startled when he heard the words, and then laughed loudly: "I have heard this rumor. Xianyu Mountain has a long history. You should know that there is a Tai Sui tribe in the ancient heaven. There are many day and night gods under the command of Tai Sui Xingjun. Follow the degrees of the stars in the sky and observe the past mistakes of the world."
"Now in the Eastern Wasteland, this job is shouldered by me, the Wind-watching Envoy of Biluo Palace. Those gossips who make up such nonsense are clearly targeting me, Nanshi Xianzhi."
Although Saint Nanshi was smiling, there was a glint in his eyes: "When Xianyu Mountain moved to the Eastern Wasteland, I also saw that the Xuandu lineage was good at coordinating the time sequence of yin and yang and refining the tribulation energy of heaven and earth, so I asked the palace master I would like to invite you to help the armored men of Suolong Pass to clean up the battlefield outside the Pass. On weekdays, when the Crane God Drum travels around the Tianhe River, you can also help Qingcheng sort out the miscellaneous energy of the stars."
"Now that I think about it, this move may have offended some people. They regard Xianyu Mountain as our Nanshi Xianzhi party and spread rumors everywhere, which makes you bear this bad name with me."
Hearing this, Feng Zixu smiled slightly: "I don't want to complain in front of the saint. After all, my Xuandu lineage's cultivation of Honglu Dinghuo also requires the calamity energy of heaven and earth and the celestial Dinghuo as resources. Wherever there is miscellaneous miscellaneous miscellaneous disasters, the Crane Divine Drum will naturally go there, and over time, it is inevitable that others will have some misunderstandings."
Nanshi Xianzhi glanced at the Xuandu Guanzhu with a half-smile, and said clearly: "Speaking of disasters and miscellaneous energy, I was previously wondering why the Crane Divine Drum suddenly appeared on the side of Qingcheng. It turned out that it was on the side of Qingcheng. Just wait and see, just waiting for me, the wind watcher, to come to your door!"
"After five hundred years of world changes, the Crane Divine Drum has been hidden in the world for a long time. Do you think the calamity energy accumulated in the cave has been almost exhausted?"
Nanshi Xianzhi raised the bamboo slip in his hand and pointed at Feng Zixu: "You don't want to get involved in the internal disputes in Biluo Palace, but you want to gain benefits. You little girl is very naughty."
"Forget it, I, the Wind-watching Envoy, am responsible for recording the merits and demerits of various Jiangs, and it is always easy to offend others. Xianyu Mountain has suffered the disaster of Chiyu, and I should make up for it... What's more, in the past five hundred years of this life, there have been a lot of corpses outside Suolong Pass. , the calamity is rampant, and it is indeed time to clean up. It is not easy for me to just sit back and watch, both in public and private matters."
As Nanshi Xianzhi said, a piece of bamboo flew out of the bamboo slip in his hand and hung in front of Feng Zixu: "Well, you can take this piece of bamboo to Biluo Palace and pay homage to Saint Zuojiu Zuoqiu. He himself I will arrange for you to come out of seclusion to cleanse the tribulation energy, and afterwards to settle the sacred merits, you still need to find him, and completely clear this matter up."
"I will say hello to Saint Zuoqiu, and I will pay an additional eight hundred when the settlement is made, as an apology to the lineage of Xianyu Xuandu. When the news spreads, those people will no longer take advantage of Xianyu Mountain. You are regarded as a vassal of our Nanshi clan, and I am deliberately trying to embarrass you."
Feng Zixu simply stretched out his hand to take the bamboo piece and bowed respectfully: "I have long heard that among all the saints in Biluo, especially the saints in Nanshi are the most magnanimous, benevolent and magnanimous. It is indeed true when I see you today, junior. Thank you!"
Nanshi Xianzhi chuckled: "The eight winds dance in the distance, and the nine fields make clear sounds. Destroy the will of the clouds, and you will be a bird in the king's garden."
"At the beginning, your lineage of Xianyu Xuandu was unwilling to be supported by the Wei clan with the Ji surname. You did not hesitate to fall out with those old cranes in Baiyun Township. In anger, you separated from Weiyu Mountain and moved far away to our Eastern Wilderness. .”
"Such a strong and heroic demeanor cannot be insulted even by a saint. I, Nanshi Xianzhi, still have some self-awareness, so naturally I will not try to take him under my sect."
Hearing this, Feng Zixu's smile was obviously more sincere: "Thank you, Saint, for your sympathy! I will definitely do my best to sort out the calamity qi."
Nanshi Xianzhi waved his hand: "This is something that benefits both sides. We will get paid as much as we do, and no one owes anyone anything. If Xianyu Mountain encounters any difficulties in the future, you girl can still come to me, Mo If you have worries, you will lose the natural freedom and ease of the Xuandu lineage."
After saying that, the wind-watching envoy from Biluo Palace turned around and turned into a stream of light again, heading straight for the Qingcheng ship.
Feng Zixu exhaled a breath of turbid air and slowly fell back into the cave of Xianyu Xuandu.
Qi Jingzhi opened his eyes and pricked up his ears, clearly seeing and listening to the exchange between his master and the sage of Nanshi.
Seeing his disciple's thoughtful look, Feng Zixu said angrily: "Stop thinking about it on your own! These things will only be told to you after you have improved your cultivation and are able to contribute to the teacher's sect." You. But now that we have caught up, there is nothing to hide."
"As I said before, if you can become wings yourself, why bother relying on the ladder! We Xianyu disciples are only meant to be cranes soaring into the sky, not birds in the garden!"
"After you come down from the mountain, you can enter the Gouchen Academy of Qi State and have some experience in the army. You can do things that benefit the country and the people, but you must not have no bottom line, sell yourself, and let yourself be driven like a lackey. Otherwise, …”
Feng Zixu paused briefly and did not say the consequences, but returned to the previous topic: "Our lineage of Xianyu Xuandu broke away from home and became a monk, completely broke with the old people in Baiyun Township, and there will be no one in Wuji Wilderness." The foundation has been laid. Nowadays, several of the still-living seniors in the sect have entered the wilderness to explore and find and seize a suitable secret realm for future generations to settle down."
"There are countless opportunities in the Infinite Wilderness, but there are also many crises. If you want to accomplish this, in addition to chance and luck, you may also have to fight for it. It can be accomplished without haste."
Although Feng Zixu's tone was serious, there was a smile on her lips. It was obvious that the Xuandu Temple Master was in a good mood after having talked things over with Saint Nanshi just now and settled a major concern.
Qi Jingzhi thought of something else: "Master wants to expand the inheritance of our Xianyu Mountain and no longer be obsessed with the Hongluo Dinghuo Sword Intent. Is he not willing to be restrained by Biluo Palace regarding the calamity of heaven and earth?"
Hearing this, Feng Zixu immediately glared at the young man: "You little He'er is so thoughtful! Biluo Saints have always been generous, and they won't get stuck on our necks on this matter. Just like what Saint Nanshi said just now, this It’s a matter of benefit to both parties, and no one owes anything to the other. It’s just..."
The Xuandu Temple Master suddenly changed the topic: "It is always right to make more preparations and leave more escape routes."
Qi Jingzhi nodded, and suddenly asked: "My disciple heard that even if the Dancing Crane Grass in our cave has spiritual intelligence, its lifespan is very limited, and it is just stuck in one year. Could it be because of the calamity of heaven and earth?" ? My disciple did not practice the Honglu Dinghuo Sword Intent, but he did consume the spiritual energy in the cave..."
"Um?"
Feng Zixu glanced sideways at his disciple, as if he suddenly remembered something, and said sadly: "Oh, my master has forgotten this, I wonder, he will have to spend more time to find another first disciple. !”
Qi Jingzhi observed his words, but felt relieved, and quickly said with a smile: "My disciple is still young, so I can serve him for another few decades. Master, there is no need to rush for a while..."
Feng Zixu snorted coldly, and then a look of sadness appeared on his face, and he said quietly: "You heartless little thing! It's useless for me to dig out my heart and lungs. I'm afraid that you will lose your longevity and pass on your heart to the fire early." Down……"
In the past month, Qi Jingzhi has seen his master's ability to change faces many times, but every time he meets again, he can't help but feel amazed and admired, feeling that he is still too far behind after all.
He quickly put on a frightened look and was about to ask for mercy, but he was immediately disliked by Feng Zixu.
The Xuandu Guanzhu had three big words written all over his face: "Come on, you little crane was born with courage and heart. Your courage is like wood and your heart is like fire. Now, They are all successful in practice, how can they be suppressed?"
"You can barely get by with a smile on your face, but if you pretend to be timid and fearful, your expression and posture are too stiff and won't win people's trust at all."
Qi Jingzhi was startled when he heard the words, then nodded honestly and said: "Master, your eyes are as bright as a torch. My disciple has really been unable to stand anger since he was a child. My grandfather always said that my disciple's heart is as sharp as a needle point. As for fear, It’s even rarer.”
"If this were not the case, how could my master think so highly of you, little He'er?"
Feng Zixu snorted again, but her eyes softened obviously: "Do you miss your grandpa?"
Seeing the young man nodding sharply, the Master of Xuandu Temple chuckled and said: "You heard it just now, my master is going to take the Crane God Gu out of Suolong Pass. You are still young in cultivation, but it is not convenient for you to follow. Now. Pack your bags and let me send you home."
The so-called Crane God Drum, Qi Jingzhi knew without asking, should be the stone drum he saw before entering the cave of Xianyu Xuandu. At first, he thought that the stone drum was the portal to the cave, but he did not expect that it was the original body, the so-called saint. treasure.
Qi Jingzhi had already expected to return home since he had cultivated his mind skills today and was given crane wings by Feng Zixu, but he didn't expect it to be so soon.
He knew that his master seemed to have unpredictable thoughts, but he was actually a straightforward and resolute person. He immediately stopped talking nonsense and said, "There is nothing to pack. Apart from the male and female bone flutes that have not been fully completed, the disciple only has a jade storage box." The box is placed in the quiet room of Zhuolong Garden."
Feng Zixu nodded: "Then there's no need to bother."
As she spoke, she raised her hand, and two bone flutes flew out of the West Flute Tower, and another jade box flew over from the direction of Zhuolong Garden.
The male and female bone flutes still retain the original color of the crane's wing bones, and the air holes on them are not round enough, making them look a bit rough.
Feng Zixu took it in her hand, first looked at the finished female flute carefully, then nodded and said: "It's barely usable."
While handing the unfinished male flute to Qi Jingzhi, she said: "The male and female bone flutes come from the same crane in this cave. They are connected with each other and have their own reactions."
"You leave the female flute and take away the male flute. If the search for my grandfather goes wrong, or if you face a catastrophe that is difficult to resolve, you can go up to the mourning platform with your heart and play the male flute at the same time to listen to the teacher. I'll come back when I get there. Well, just play the "Flying Dragon Calling the Lin Score"."
Qi Jingzhi had already reached out and grabbed the jade box. At this time, he took the male flute from his master, and his heart was full of gratitude: "Thank you, master!"
But Feng Zixu shook his head: "As the saying goes, if a mountain falls, it depends on everyone. Don't be arrogant and willful. If you are caught by something as a teacher, or if you are too far away, even if your Lin No matter how sweet the music is, it can't summon the timely rain to save someone's life. In the end, we have to try to save ourselves."
"Don't worry, disciple! I am here to be a soaring crane, how can I rely on the protection of Master's wings?"
Qi Jingzhi has always been a self-reliant person, and now he has secretly made up his mind not to work for his master unless absolutely necessary.
He thought for a while and then said solemnly: "If the disciple plays not Linpu but other tunes on the mourning platform, it means that the disciple misses the master. If the master has nothing to do by then, you can come It’s good to look for apprentices to play with, even if you want to test your schoolwork.”
Looking at the young man with an admiring expression, Feng Zixu's eyes seemed to have a flash of light, but he said angrily: "How can I have free time to play with you, master?"
"As for the school examination homework...Master leads me to practice, and once I enter the world of mortals, it is a place of honor and wealth, and a place of sorrow and hardship. The dangers there are hard to describe, and it is the most powerful way to wear down your will. If you are in the heart If you slack off, our master-disciple relationship will definitely not last forever, so don’t expect me to talk to you again!"
After Feng Zixu finished speaking, she suddenly raised her colorful sleeves.
The next moment, a burst of green sand and bead dust covered the sky and the moon flew up from the direction of Crane Eyes Blue Lake, flying towards the location of the master and disciple.
At the same time, at the position corresponding to the Crane Eye Blue Lake, countless red pebbles rose into the air and turned into a cloud of cinnabar smoke.
These red pebbles are as big as beans and as small as mustard seeds. They are square and angular on all sides and exude a faint medicinal fragrance.
"Green sand beads are commonly used by you every day. As a teacher, I won't say more. In addition, these are called Danzao residual sand. They are the residues left by the Xianyu Mountain disciples for many years when they used the Honglu Dan method to make medicine and use them to cook soup. It can cure diseases and eliminate epidemics."
While speaking, Feng Zixu condensed the green sand beads into the shape of a flying bird, and the remaining sand from the alchemy furnace was blended into a small red alchemy furnace.
Qi Jingzhi quickly opened the jade box, pulled away the Gouchen Court tokens and other sundries, and made a special place for storage.
When everything was ready, Taiqing Tiancha descended from the sky.
The master and the apprentice landed on top, raised their sails and paddled, and passed the Hezui Cliff while chatting and laughing.
Seeing that the Taiqing Tiancha was about to fly out from the gap in the crane's wings, a series of extremely sad and long hisses suddenly sounded in the Crane Valley below. It was really like resentment, admiration, weeping, and complaints. It was heartbreaking to hear it.
Both the master and the disciple looked stagnant, Qi Jingzhi even said "ah" and slapped his forehead hard: "I almost forgot about Bannu!"
