The sloppy old Taoist drank a jar of wine and ten kilograms of beef. He was satisfied and said with a big tongue: "Okay, this year, you are the five trial disciples of the old Taoist lineage of the Xiandu sect. The old Taoist's surname is Qi, and his Taoist name is Yun. He is your introductory master, come here and kowtow."
Everyone knelt down and kowtowed, seeing their master again. In order of succession, Yue Zhilan was the largest, followed by Wei Seventeenth. The remaining three people were two boys and one girl. The boy was a pair of twin brothers, the elder brother Song Qi and the younger brother Song Ji. She looks about thirteen or fourteen years old, comes from a wealthy family, wears exquisite clothes, is a talented woman in her late teens, her surname is Qin, and her last name contains the character "Zhen". She is gentle and quiet, bowing her head and saying nothing.
Qi Yunhe looked at the five disciples and thought to himself: "This year's luck is a bit unfavorable. Yue Zhilan has no qualifications, and Wei Shiqi's qualifications are low. These two can only go to the outer sect to hang out. Each of the Song brothers has three 'innate apertures' , not satisfactory, Qin Zhen is pretty good, with seven innate orifices spread across two meridians, so entering the inner sect is not a problem. His grandma’s, it seems, will be at the bottom again this time!"
He yawned, feeling sleepy, and muttered in his mouth: "Let's take a nap while we can, and then hit the road again at dawn." After that, he fell to the ground, bent his arms on the pillow, and fell asleep with deep breath.
When the master has something to do, the disciple will obey him. Wei Shiqi and Yue Zhilan are both smart people. One led the young junior brothers and sisters to the outside of Tutu Temple, said goodbye to the family members who sent them here, and greeted everyone with a greeting. In the middle of the night, the rest of the crowd told them that the immortal master had finished selecting his disciples, and quickly retreated, putting an end to their infatuated thoughts.
The scene of the young man in white doing the gourd roll before was still before their eyes. Everyone was still frightened and did not dare to entangle anymore, so they dispersed in twos and threes. The Song brothers and Qin Zhen's family members also left with tears in their eyes, looking back from time to time with reluctance. We have been separated from each other for a long time, and we don't know when we will meet again. "
The five brothers and sisters stood in front of the temple. The river wind blew on them, making them feel a little cold. The east turned white a little bit. The dawn illuminated the poplar trees, adding a golden edge to the dilapidated earth temple.
A new day has begun.
After all, the Song brothers and Qin Zhen were young. After struggling all night, they could not sleep a wink. They were mentally exhausted and could not stand firmly. Wei and Yue led them back to the Earth Temple and found a clean corner to settle down. The whole family Without him, they were tired and frightened, and fell asleep without realizing it.
Qi Yunhe slept until three o'clock in the morning, then stretched out and slowly got up. Several apprentices had packed themselves neatly and were waiting quietly aside. On the altar, the gourd was filled with wine, the oil paper bag was filled with beef, and steamed buns were placed on lotus leaves. Qi Yunhe laughed and waved: "Disciples, come on, come on, open your cheeks and eat!" As he said that, he picked up the gourd with one hand and drank a few sips of wine, and grabbed beef with the other hand and stuffed it into his mouth.
Yue Zhilan tore open the steamed buns, stuffed them with beef, handed them to the three junior brothers and sisters, and ate them slowly himself. Seeing that Wei Shiqi didn't take action, he was slightly surprised and asked, "Junior brother, aren't you hungry?"
Wei Shiqi smiled and shook his head.
Qi Yunhe glanced at him and said vaguely: "For such a big man, the kitchen can't be small. Why, I'm sorry? I won't laugh at you!"
Wei Shiqi explained: "My disciple has a quirk. He only eats meat and doesn't eat vegetables or pasta."
"Eat meat, eat meat, no need to be polite!" Qi Yunhe grabbed a large piece of beef and threw it over. Wei Shiqi stretched out his hand to catch it, swallowed it in three mouthfuls, wiped his mouth, and didn't finish his thoughts, which made the Song brothers' eyes tremble. Straight, Qin Zhen opened her mouth half-open, and a mouthful of steamed bun fell on her clothes.
Qi Yunhe found this apprentice more and more interesting. He asked curiously: "Disciple, how much meat can you eat in one meal?"
"Twenty pounds."
"Okay, you can hunt only if you can eat. Tiandu Peak has a lot of game. You are a hunter, so you won't be hungry."
After everyone finished eating, Qi Yunhe took out a jade bottle from his sleeve, pulled out the stopper, and poured out five pills. They were about the size of a thumb, sallow in color, and fragrant. He said: "This is the Yin Deficiency Pill of the Xiandu Sect. It has a light effect." The effect of keeping healthy can be regarded as a greeting gift to the master. One pill per person, after eating, you can go on your way."
Yue Zhilan took one first, Wei Shiqi took one and threw it directly into his mouth, followed by the Song brothers and Qin Zhen.
The elixir melted in his mouth, and a heat rose from his belly and spread continuously into his muscles and bones. Wei Shiqi was almost certain that the vitality contained in the elixir was the same as that of bear meat, only more gentle and nourishing. After experiencing the violent impact of vitality, he was able to appreciate the beauty of Yinxu Pill. The pill is like a prescription. Only when the king, ministers and envoys cooperate properly can the body not be harmed.
The group set out on the road, crossing the Ximin River and heading towards the snow-capped Kunlun Mountains.
Qi Yunhe's sleeves were fluttering and his steps were as fast as flying. He kept walking and stopping for the first few days, and then he walked for four or five hours at a stretch, only stopping to rest after dark. Even Yue Zhilan found it difficult to rush, let alone the Song brothers and Qin Zhen. Fortunately, the Yinxu Pill was very effective. Although the three of them were young, they could barely hold on with the support of the medicine.
Wei Shiqi had achieved a little success in practicing the method on the animal skin fragment, which was not a problem for him at all. When his fellow disciples were so tired that they fell asleep, he was still energetic, picked up the hunting fork, bow and arrow, and went to the mountains and forests. Catch game to honor Master. Wei Qi Qi's barbecue skills were not bad, and Qi Yunhe did not restrain his appetite, so he admired this apprentice very much. He often talked while eating, and inadvertently revealed a lot of information.
A whole new world unfolds before our eyes.
The Kunlun side branch of the Xiandu faction belongs to the line of sword cultivators. The leaders of all generations are direct descendants of Kunlun. The disciples under the sect are divided into the inner sect, the outer sect, and the trial. The inner sect is a sword cultivator who specializes in practicing, and the outer sect takes care of worldly affairs. New recruits are recruited every three years. The first disciples are trial disciples who teach Kunlun Taoism. If they can form a Taoist body within three years, they will be promoted to the inner sect. If they cannot condense into a Taoist body, they will be transferred to the outer sect.
Sword cultivators must have an innate body. The human body is a small world, and the universe is a large world. When a person is in the womb, all the acupoints are open, which are called "innate apertures." When the baby falls to the ground, the acupoints are closed one by one, cutting off communication with the heaven and earth, and becoming acquired turbidity. Among thousands of people, there are always one or two with extraordinary talents. Not all of the "innate apertures" are closed, and they are innate bodies. The first step in sword cultivation is to use the "Xiantian Aperture" to absorb the vitality of heaven and earth, the essence of the sun and the moon, refine the body, open the closed acupoints in the body, open the "Acquired Aperture", and store the vitality in it.
Only when the vitality is abundant and the "acquired orifices" are connected along the meridians, can you try to condense an "acquired seed" in the Dantian, which is the Tao fetus.
Among the five disciples accepted by Qi Yunhe, Qin Zhen has the best qualifications. He has seven innate apertures and is close to fire in the five elements. The Song brothers are worse, both have three innate apertures. Song Qi is close to wood and five elements are close to water. As for Wei, , Yue, he didn't even mention it. Wei Shiqi was self-aware and didn't dare to ask. He wondered whether Qi Yunhe might mistakenly think that he had an innate talent.
The skills on the animal skin are incomplete and are some kind of body-tempering method. However, no matter how strong the body is, it can't stop the sword from practicing, so Qi Yunhe dismissed it as a stupid skill. It doesn't matter if he doesn't practice it, but for Wei Seventeen years later, it was the straw that changed my destiny...
