The announcement by the head of Qinghao made all the disciples of the Yu generation excited.
Although everyone already knew more or less the secrets of the sect, they did not dare to take any step beyond them. He practiced Qingshan Sect's swordsmanship, formations and light body skills honestly at Tianquan Peak. Now you can finally enter the cave to practice!
After all, there are only a limited number of houses in the cave, and Xuan Guan only has a dozen or so dormitories at most, which were all sorted out after everyone entered the cave. No one dared to touch Patriarch Tianchen’s closet. So everyone tidied up the left and right sides of the main hall and added a few more, but it was still not enough for one room.
However, this could not stop everyone's enthusiasm, so there were only two or three people in a room, so it was not too crowded. During the day, he meditates on the futon in the square and practices at night.
The "Qingshan Taixuan Sutra" of the disciples of the Yu generation was directly taught by the headmaster, the two elders, Yuan Yu, Qingyang Yanran, and Yuan Zhen.
…
One day, the headmaster walked to the closet of Elder Qingyi. Seeing Qing Yi sitting cross-legged and breathing. Then he stepped forward and said slowly: "Junior brother, do you still remember the promise you made to Head Xiao?"
"How can I not remember it? How dare I speak without the permission of the leader? I also said it out of desperation that day." Qing Yi slowly stopped and replied.
"If you receive a drop of kindness from someone, you must repay it with a spring. If it weren't for Master Xiao, we might miss the fate of immortality. Junior brother, you'd better go and invite Master Xiao."
"Senior brother, follow your orders! Then I'll go."
After saying that, the always hot-tempered elder in Tsing hurriedly stood up, quickly packed up some belongings in front of the leader, and headed towards the stone arch of Tianshu Cave.
"Ride away, don't try to fly into the air and be seen by others!"
"If the master doesn't tell me, I know it." As soon as he finished speaking, Tsing Yi suddenly disappeared inside the stone arch door.
"This Qingyi, after entering Taixuan, he is still so impatient..." Qinghao shook his head.
"Haha, senior brother finally took the initiative. It's been frustrating me for the past two days." Qing Yi left Tianshu Cave and flew straight towards Tianquan Peak. Afraid of being seen, I lowered my height. The straight line from Tianshu Peak to Tianquan Peak was about twenty miles, and I reached the mountain gate in three ups and downs. Along the gravel road, we reached the station at the foot of the mountain, picked up the horses, and headed east along the mountain path.
Qing Yi didn't want to waste time and didn't lead the horse down the mountain from the sect. Ever since Lu He resigned to practice Taoism and Gongsun Xie took care of him, the relationship between the Qingshan Sect and the Xishu County Government has become very important. Using a horse is a trivial matter.
…
Qing Yi rode his fast horse eastward to the official road on the east side of Sanqianda Mountain, then turned his back. Whenever he encounters an official post station, he will ride on a horse.
Half a day later, we arrived at the station on the south bank of Xiajiang River.
Now Elder Qingyi was worried. Several years ago, Southern Wei was annexed by Nanchen. Although Nanchen was not at war with Daxia, it was still hostile and had no navigation routes. The horses couldn't get through it. I am not good at water, and the Xiajiang River is so wide that I can’t even imagine swimming across it. I can only disobey the leader's instructions. Fortunately, it has been raining here recently...
At midnight, the elder in Tsing Yi changed into the ordinary clothes of a scholar and a commoner, and put his Taoist robe and other items into his baggage. After leaving the station, we walked along the Xiajiang River and found an uninhabited beach. He lifted up his energy and jumped into the air, flying into the rainy low-altitude clouds and heading towards the north shore. The Xiajiang River is not wide here, about three or four miles. After a dozen breaths, Qingyi approached the north bank and fell towards the dense forest on the top of a mountain beside the river.
"Phew! Feel comfortable."
After Qing Yi landed on the top of the mountain, he made several more leaps to reach the bottom of the mountain.
Qing Yi only knew that Wuyingmen was located in Hanning County, Liangzhou, Southern Wei Dynasty. Where is Hanning County? Elder Qingyi's eyes darkened. It was midnight again, and there was no way to find passers-by to ask.
Forget it, find an inn to stay. When I hit the road again the next day, I just pretended to be having fun. Qing Yi walked along the path at the foot of the mountain. After a while, it was adjacent to a main road, which should be the official road. Then go eastward along the official road. Not long after walking, we saw a village. There were several ship masts exposed on the south side of the village, which was undoubtedly the riverside. After a quick walk, I saw several inns located along the pier.
Qing Yi opened an inn and saw that there were still a few upper rooms. He chose one at random and didn't dare to take out Daxia's five baht, so he threw a piece of silver to the waiter. Had a wonderful night's sleep.
Early the next morning, after Qing Yi had breakfast, he politely asked the waiter and learned that this place was Liangzhou, but Hanning County had to go north along the official road for more than four hundred miles to reach it.
Unable to fly or run, he could only go to the horse market in a small town and buy a horse for four taels of silver, which made Qing Yi very painful.
We rode on horseback, stopping and walking, and it took us two days to reach Hanning County.
Hanning County was a place where merchants from the Southern Wei Kingdom gathered in the past. Although it was not the capital, it was still very prosperous and lively. Several years ago, after Nanchen annexed the Southern Wei Dynasty, it did not recruit migrant people. Therefore, Hanning County is still the same Hanning County, and its prosperity remains the same as before.
Qing Yi led his horse into the city. He was worried about being interrogated, but in the end he went in openly. It seems that Nanchen Kingdom is governed well!
Less than a hundred steps into the city, he stopped a passerby and asked him the way to the Shadowless Gate. There are naturally many people who know about the large sects. The Shadowless Gate is indeed in Hanning County.
Follow the road you asked about, and after about a stick of incense, you come to a wide alley. The alley runs from east to west and is about a mile long. At the entrance of the alley, you can see a huge archway standing on the north side of the middle of the alley. Walk more than 200 steps along the alley and come to the archway.
The archway is about seven feet high and five feet wide. Dougong and cornices are built with bluestones. There is a white jade suanni on the left and right. On the stone pillars on the left and right sides behind Suanni, there are inscriptions: "Emperor Yu controls the waterways in all directions" and "The King of Ji brings together the world's granaries". Directly above it is the word "无影".
"Who's coming?" Qing Yi was looking at the archway carefully and didn't notice the two disciples guarding the gate below.
"May I ask if Master Xiao is here? I am Qingyi of the Qingshan Sect of Western Shu, please let me know."
"Taoist Taoist Qingshan Sect of Western Shu? Please come with me!"
The gatekeeper saw this man dressed as a commoner and leading a skinny horse. He was probably no one. Just as he was about to chase the person away, he suddenly heard that the person coming said that he was from the Qingshan Sect of Western Shu. I don’t know who Qing Yi is, but the Qingshan Sect has been making waves in the world over the years, so I can’t afford to offend him.
Qing Yi followed this disciple and walked all the way inside. The horse was led to a nearby stable by another disciple.
Wuyingmen is different from Qingshan Sect. Hanning County City is built on the flat land among the mountains. Therefore, the Shadowless Gates are all built on flat ground.
Passing through the archway and about fifty steps forward, there is a palace gate. Passing through the palace gate, you will see hundreds of well-proportioned houses with colorful decorations, gold decorations and exquisite bricks and tiles. Wuyingmen is a building of the Jin Dynasty. Although it does not have a tall palace, it still looks stable and majestic, showing the characteristics of the merchants of the Jin Dynasty.
Then walk along the wide road in the middle for about a hundred feet, and you will see another palace gate.
"Prince Qingyi, the little one will be sent here."
"Uncle Master, this distinguished guest, Taoist Priest Tsing Yi, comes from the Qingshan Sect of Western Shu. If you want to find the leader, please bring me in." After saying this, the disciple handed over to Tsing Yi and walked out. Qing Yi clasped his palms in return.
"Qing Yi——Elder Qing Yi?! Please come with me!"
The disciples on duty outside the palace gate were immediately shocked when they heard that he was the Qingyi elder from Xishu County. Take a closer look, it’s not that! He had participated in the battle on Qushan Cliff and the night siege of Tianshu Peak several years ago. Are you here to seek revenge? He didn't dare to ask. Everyone is here, bring them in directly.
The two of them passed through the palace gate and found a small quadrangle courtyard with two entrances.
"Report to the leader, Qingshan Sect of Western Shu, Elder Qingyi asks for an audience." The disciple arrived at the house directly north of the backyard and stopped to report.
"Hahahaha, brother Qingyi, what brought you here?"
As soon as the disciple finished his sentence, Qing Yi heard a hearty laugh in the room, and then his eyes flashed, and a person came out, it was Xiao Qian who had a smile on his face.
"Farewell to Tianshu Peak, we haven't seen each other for several years! I miss you so much!" Xiao Qian came up and handed over to Elder Qingyi.
"Master Xiao, do you have ulterior motives?"
"Hahahaha! The one who knows me is Brother Qingyi! Come in quickly!"
"Serve tea!"
The elder in Qingyi followed Xiao and moved inside, sitting on the throne. After taking a sip of tea, he went straight in and said sternly to Xiao Qian: "I am here to invite Master Xiao to enter the Tianshu Cave and enjoy the fate of immortality together."
"Pfft!" Xiao Qian spit out a sip of tea.
"Is this true?"
"I traveled thousands of miles over mountains and ridges and crossed rivers to find you here. Do you think I am looking for fun?" Qing Yi said dissatisfied.
"The Qingshan Sect is indeed chivalrous! I have traveled thousands of miles and worked tirelessly to come here. I will accompany you to Hanning County to have fun for a few days!"
…
Xiao Qian accompanied Qing Yi to visit Hanning County for a few days.
Xiao Qian tidied up a little, and the two took the Wuyingmen passenger ship at the Hanning County Pier and went south along the Han River to the Xia River. At night, we went south from the center of the river to the south bank of the Xiajiang River. Before the boat could stop, the two of them jumped onto the shore. The Wuyingmen passenger ship returned quietly.
Qing Yi picked up two horses at the inn, and the two quickly disappeared into the night.
…
Qingshan Sect, Tianshu Cave.
"The righteousness of the leader! I, Xiao Qian, won't say anything anymore. From now on, if there is any need, I, the thousands of disciples of Wuying Sect, can dispatch them at will!"
Xiao Qian entered the cave and was deeply shocked. Dozens of Qingshan Sect disciples are practicing diligently, walking, sitting, dancing or flying. Whether it is the Seven-Star Sword Formation or the light body technique, it is completely different from what I remembered in the past. Especially when seeing the immortal posture of Qing Yi in the sky, it is already much better than the one who besieged Tianshu Peak that day. The more I understood the difference between myself, the more I was shocked. So I decided to devote myself to practice here.
…
There is no sun or moon in practice, and half a year passes in a blink of an eye.
Xiao Qian is a top martial arts master and a martial arts wizard, and he is not very young. After a few months, under the blessing of the rich black and yellow Qi of Tianshu Cave, I have made rapid progress by practicing the Shadowless Sect technique alone. In the past, he was stuck at the peak of transformation, unable to move at all. There are already signs of loosening at this moment. The Shadowless Knife is really fast and shadowless when danced, and the light body technique is more agile and elegant. Both the strength and speed are different from what they used to be. He felt that the trip was worth it.
Qingyi planned to personally teach Xiao Qian the "Qingshan Taixuan Sutra" and repay the favor. The Qingshan Sect was absolutely unambiguous. Xiao Qian was extremely grateful to be able to enter Tianshu Cave. At this moment, he saw that Qing Yi was going to teach him the immortal cultivation techniques. If he hadn't been the head of the Wuying Sect, Xiao Qian would have wanted to join the Qingshan Sect immediately.
…
A few months later, I don’t know who leaked the news:
"All the disciples of Qingshan Sect have obtained the fate of immortality!"
"Xiao Qian, the head of the Wuying Sect, has switched to the Qingshan Sect and has entered Tianshu Peak and gained immortality!"
The more it is spread, the more mysterious it gets, and the more it gets spread, the more outrageous it becomes.
A month later, rumors spread throughout the Jianghu sects and the court: Lu He, the governor of Xishu County, had abandoned his official position and followed Taoism.
The whole world is shocked!
