On this day, Bai Lisheng stood in the courtyard and watched Yun Xiao perform the "Youhan Saber Intent" and "Chasing the Wind and Watching the Moon Steps" again. Yun Xiao not only mastered this sword technique and Qinggong, but also cooperated with it tacitly, just like years of hard training. Even the Xuan Bingzhen was able to control and release it freely, and it was already quite powerful. Yun Xiao's cultivation progress is more than ten times better than that of ordinary people. Even among the many masters of Xiaoyao Sect, it is difficult for anyone to compare with him.
With Yun Xiao entering the country like this, Bai Lisheng was naturally happy. But there was a frown on his face. Baili Sheng was really worried about how to guide Yun Xiao to take a further step, so he turned and left the yard. Yun Xiao was only immersed in Taoism and Kung Fu, and did not notice Bai Lisheng's departure at all.
After leaving the courtyard, Baili Sheng paced back and forth in the pavilion. I wanted to make up my mind many times, but after some thinking, I was hesitant. Baili Sheng simply sat in the pavilion and closed his eyes to rest. After about a cup of tea, he suddenly opened his eyes, took a deep breath, seemed to have made up his mind, and finally walked towards the south.
For three days in a row, Baili Sheng didn't come to see Yun Xiao. Only Wan'er came to bring some meals to Yun Xiao every day. Yun Xiao only chatted with Wan'er for a few words while eating. The rest of the time he spent the rest of the time studying the internal skills, sword skills and light skills taught to him by Bai Lisheng. With the deep foundation of the Hunyuan True Dharma, Yun Xiao felt that these exercises were effortless to practice, and they complemented and benefited each other. After two months, Yun Xiao has already mastered the internal skills, sword skills and light skills.
On the morning of the fourth day, Yun Xiao finished her meditation practice early. Just when she was about to practice the cold sword intent, Bai Lisheng opened the door and walked in. After not seeing each other for three days, Yun Xiao became more friendly when he saw Baili Sheng. He walked out of the pavilion to greet him, bowed and saluted: "Uncle Baili, you are here!"
Baili Sheng agreed, then smiled and said: "Xiao'er, I was here three days ago. I saw that you were concentrating on practicing the exercises, so I didn't bother you. I taught you the internal skills, sword skills and light skills. You How's your practice going?"
"Back to Uncle Master, I have mastered these techniques. It's just..." Yun Xiao was mid-sentence, but did not continue.
Bai Lisheng had already guessed what Yun Xiao was thinking, and laughed "Haha": "It's just that we lack people to play against you, right?"
"Exactly!" These internal skills, sword skills and light skills are all very mysterious. Although Yun Xiao is extremely talented, she has mastered the essentials of these skills with her own understanding. But for the past two months, I have been practicing on my own, and my practice has reached a bottleneck.
Baili Sheng nodded and said: "Okay, my uncle will take you to practice with your fellow disciples. You come with me!"
"Uncle, where are we going?" Yun Xiao didn't know which senior brother Bai Lisheng had found for her to train with, but she could hardly conceal the excitement in her heart. After all, he is a young man by nature. Living alone in Qinglian Mountain was a helpless move in the past. Now that he is in the Xiaoyao Sect, he can't help it anymore.
Baili Sheng replied: "You are practicing the skills of Xiaoyao Palace, so naturally you have to compete with the disciples of Xiaoyao Palace." Baili Sheng turned around and walked out of the door. Yun Xiao took two steps with joy on his face. , followed.
The two of them walked to Shenxiao Square, and Bai Lisheng suddenly stopped under the Sky-Better Stone. He raised his head and looked up at the Sky-Better Stone, and suddenly asked: "Xiao'er, do you know what this Sky-Better Stone is?"
Yun Xiao has been a beginner for more than two months, but she has never been to Shenxiao Square. She only saw the Sky-Bearing Stone from a distance when Yuan Tianzong ascended. At this time, he was extremely shocked as he walked in Shenxiao Square. Shenxiao Square is made of countless stones. The stone surface is extremely smooth, and the gaps between the stones are even invisible. The Tai Chi diagram in the middle of the square looks like it was carefully crafted by a painter. Such miraculous craftsmanship made Yun Xiao feel a sense of pride in her heart.
Yun Xiao stood at the foot of the Tongtian Stone and looked up. I saw that the whole body of this sky-reaching stone was as clear as a jade. Although it was only nine feet high, its power seemed to reach straight to the nine heavens, which was shocking.
Hearing Bai Lisheng's question, Yun Xiao knew that he had something to say to her, so she answered vaguely: "Uncle Master, the disciple only saw the sky-reaching stone triggering the power of thunder on the day when the master became immortal and ascended. Come to think of it, Its role must be more than that.”
Baili Sheng nodded silently and said: "The God Realm that lives in the Nine Heavens governs all living things in the world, and we cultivators are proud to follow the Heavenly Way. In the human world, there are three ways to communicate with the God Realm. The first is that The legendary ladder to the top of Kunlun is said to lead to the divine realm. However, no one has ever seen it. Secondly, it is the Witch Queen, the messenger from the divine realm to the human realm. She has the ability to communicate with heaven and earth. Thirdly, It is the Babel Stone in front of you. The founder of our sect has the trust of the gods and can get the instructions of the gods from this Babel Stone. It is precisely because of this Babel Stone and the Taoist Book that our Xiaoyao Sect can lead the right path."
"Taoist Heavenly Book?" Yun Xiao has heard many people mention these four words in the past two months. After Xuantan, Yuan Tianzong also said that there are seven volumes of heavenly books between heaven and earth, which are regarded as the supreme method by cultivators. Bai Lisheng also said that this Taoist heavenly book is the foundation for the Xiaoyao sect to lead the right path, and Yunxiao was extremely curious.
Baili Sheng looked up like this for a long time, then bowed deeply and respectfully to the Tongtian Stone, turned around and said to Yun Xiao: "Okay, Xiao'er, let's go."
Yun Xiao agreed, followed Bai Lisheng, and walked along the square towards Xiaoyao Palace in the south. At this time, Yun Xiao didn't understand why Baili Sheng respected the Tongtian Stone so much, and she had no time to think about it. He only regards the Tongtian Stone as a sacred object of the Xiaoyao Sect, and must be in awe of it in the future. All he was thinking about was that he would soon be able to compete with his fellow disciples. Finally, he showed off what he had learned, proving that his efforts over the past two months were not in vain, and that he was no worse than anyone else.
The two of them walked to the front of Xiaoyao Palace one after another. Bai Lisheng did not enter the main hall, but walked along the east side of Xiaoyao Palace and went around to the back of the main hall. About a hundred steps away from the main hall of Xiaoyao Palace, there is another solemn and majestic building. The building is mainly gray and white, with a total of seven floors. Every brick and stone is carefully carved. Although it is not magnificent, it is also Solemn and solemn. Behind the building is a bamboo forest. The unnamed black bamboos are neatly arranged, which further accentuates the majesty of the building.
In the center of the front of the hall, the two three-foot-tall wooden doors with their own Tai Chi Yin and Yang diagrams are particularly conspicuous. In the square not far in front of the wooden door, a group of male disciples wearing cyan and white robes were doing today's homework. Some of them sit cross-legged and practice on their own, while more people practice in pairs, each holding a different style of sword in their hand.
Bai Lisheng pointed to a small road paved with pebbles between Xiaoyao Palace and the building, and said: "Xiao'er, come and see. There are ninety-nine steps on this road, which is the main hall of Ganwei and Xiaoyao." The passage between the palaces." Yun Xiao saw that the stone road was straight, connecting the building in front with Xiaoyao Palace. The arrangement of the pebbles was also the arrangement of the Bagua symbols.
Bai Lisheng took Yun Xiao on this path. Halfway there, Bai Lisheng pointed to the vaguely visible buildings on both sides and said, "Xiao'er, the buildings on these two sides are the main halls of Dui Wei and Xun Wei. , the disciples of Xiaoyao Palace practice, live and live in these two main halls. The main hall of Gansi in front is where the sect leaders and elders live. In Tiangan Square, at the beginning of each month, disciples can Perform martial arts here, communicate and compete with each other. In Xiaoyao Sect, in addition to their respective training places, only when performing martial arts in Shenxiao Square, Tianqian Square and Mingkun Square, disciples can use Taoism. In other areas, they must be treated as mortals Walking normally is a sign of respect for the sect.”
Yun Xiao shook her head and looked around. Two buildings were looming amid the clouds and mist. The Xun position building is mainly blue, while the Dui Gua building is red. Both buildings are five-story, echoing the Qian position building. Yun Xiao didn't say anything, just nodded in agreement and continued walking forward. Soon, the two of them arrived near Tianqian Square.
In the square, a young Taoist priest stood in the middle. He looked around at everyone, and from time to time guided the disciples' moves. The man looked up and saw Bai Lisheng, smiled slightly, and came over to greet him. Yun Xiao saw that the Taoist priest was about 27 or 27 years old, with a slender and muscular figure. He was wearing a green Taoist robe, a golden crown on his head, a sword hanging on his waist, clear lines on his face, ebony black pupils, and a tall and heroic nose. , also looked upright and well-groomed.
The man quickly walked up to Baili Sheng, bowed and saluted, and said, "Disciple Qi Ruochuan, I have met Master Baili!"
Baili Sheng laughed "haha" and returned the courtesy: "Nephew Qi, there's no need to be polite! Speaking of which, I'm still an old man and I'm bothering you!"
Qi Ruochuan nodded slightly and said: "Master Baili's words are serious. Ruochuan is the eldest disciple of Xiaoyao Palace, and the master has entrusted the disciples' cultivation to the disciples. The disciples should do their best and dare not neglect." Qi Ruochuan's face was filled with emotion. Smile, tone extremely polite. His eyes moved slightly and he saw Yun Xiao next to Bai Lisheng. He also nodded slightly to Yun Xiao and asked, "This should be Junior Brother Yun Xiao, right?"
Along the way, Yun Xiao watched the person performing martial arts in the field. He also knew that this person had an extraordinary status. When he saw him asking about him, he bowed deeply and replied: "Senior Brother Qi, my disciple is Yun Xiao! Senior Brother Qi Xiu For the sake of proficiency, please ask Senior Brother Qi for more advice in the future!"
Qi Ruochuan nodded and said with a smile: "Junior brother Yun, there is no need to be polite. Uncle Baili has already told me. From now on, you can practice with senior brother."
Baili Sheng was very pleased to see that Yun Xiao understood the world so well and captured what Qi Ruochuan cared about in just one or two sentences. He laughed "haha" and said to Yun Xiao: "Xiao'er, this senior brother Qi Ruochuan is the eldest disciple of the master Xuan Chengzhen. He has extraordinary talent. He has been practicing with the master for more than sixty years. He is a genius rarely seen in a hundred years. He Together with his junior brother Yu Ruoming, they are known as the two prides of Xiaoyao Palace, and they are also the best among the three generations of disciples. In terms of talent alone, the two of them are on par with the two junior brothers Xuanyi and Xuanyi."
Qi Ruochuan hurriedly raised his hands and said: "Master Baili is ridiculous! How can I dare to compare with these two masters as my apprentice is still shallow? In terms of talent, Yun Ruogu and Mo Ruoxi from the Zixiao Palace opposite are the unparalleled geniuses. Ruo Ruo and I Junior Brother Ming is also ashamed of himself!"
"Haha, Senior Nephew Qi is too modest!" Baili Sheng said with a smile on his face: "Senior Nephew Qi, then I will entrust Yun Xiao to you. This child has only been in school for a few months, but he has great talent. I hope my nephew can give me more advice!"
"Yes! Ruochuan will do his best!" Qi Ruochuan waved to Yun Xiao, and Yun Xiao walked to Qi Ruochuan's side. Qi Ruochuan said to Bai Lisheng: "Please don't worry, Master Baili. Master has also told me to wait for his disciples You must take care of Junior Brother Yun!"
"Okay, I'll spare you my nephew." Bai Lisheng gave Yun Xiao a few more instructions, then turned and left.
When he walked to the main hall of Xiaoyao Palace, Baili Sheng turned around and saw Qi Ruochuan introducing Yun Xiao to the brothers, and felt relieved. However, after hearing what Qi Ruochuan said, he was surprised that the master leader had been paying attention to Yun Xiao's growth and knew that they were coming here. Then he thought about it, he found Qi Ruochuan three days ago and explained that he hoped Yun Xiao would practice with him. Qi Ruochuan showed respect to the master immediately and reported everything. It was normal for the master to know this.
