Nightfall Chapter 31: Seven Advances in Knowledge and Shou Guan
In order to participate in the grand event of the Illumination Festival, countless Haotian believers poured into the Kingdom of Xiling from various places, and delegations from various countries also arrived one after another. They were arranged by the temple to live in the garden halls around Taoshan, among them the distinguished ones. , Was arranged to live in Tianyuyuan.
The representative of the Southern Jin Jiange is Liu Yiqing. Ning Que stood on the cliff and looked at the blind swordsman who was taken into the Tianyuyuan by the priest Mo Li. He couldn't help feeling a little when he remembered the battle outside the side gate of the academy.
For the first half of Liu Yiqing's practice career, he was unknown until he was recalled to the sword pavilion. Many people were very optimistic about this person's talent in kendo. The second brother even said that if this person can not miss the opportunity, It is possible to reach the level of his brother Sword Saint Liu Bai.
Liu Bai also valued him very much, and asked him to go to Chang'an City to find a challenge from the people who joined the world, so as to sharpen his temperament, hesitate to defeat and seek benefits, but did not want the Xiling Temple Adjudication Division to do tricks in the meantime. After the life-and-death struggle, Ning Que, who broke through the barrier, slashed his eyes.
If an ordinary practitioner encounters such a severe setback, I am afraid that he will be devastated. However, Liu Yiqing really did not live up to Liu Bai's importance and the second brother's comment. After blindness, he meditated in the sword pavilion for several years, and cultivated to the realm. As a result, the xinxing advances by leaps and bounds, as if a sword breaks a bamboo straight into the realm of knowledge. From this point of view, Ning Que's eyes were chopped and blinded by Ning Que. Maybe it was the so-called opportunity that the second brother once said.
In the first battle in Qingxia, Liu Bai cut off the second brother's right arm. He also suffered serious injuries. He returned to Jian Pavilion to repair his injuries. Liu Yiqing is responsible for the current affairs of Jian Pavilion. According to rumors, Jian Pavilion was furious. The killing of the emperor of the Southern Jin Dynasty was executed by this person alone in the palace.
Ning Que once met Cheng Zhiqing, a strong man in the sword pavilion at Lanke Temple, but he has not seen this person in the sword pavilion team today. It seems that Liu Yiqing's position in the sword pavilion has stabilized.
He is still a little puzzled, because the sword sage Liu Bai has not come. Although it is rumored that his injuries have not healed, the light sacrifice is such a big event. As a guest of the temple, Liu Bai should be there in person no matter what.
Immediately afterwards, Ning Que saw the mission from the King's Court of the Golden Account. The mission of the Golden Tent King Court turned out to have only one car. In the car, there was a wrinkled old man in a blouse. It was not a horse that was pulling the car, but a brawny man on the prairie whose muscles were as hard as rocks. Going up looks very shabby.
However, after knowing the identities of these two people. No one thinks this scale is shabby anymore, because the old man in the cloth shirt in the car is the most respected national master Baoding in the Golden Tent, and the brawny man in the grassland pulling the cart is the martial art of the Golden Tent. A master Loeb!
Even if there are only two figures of such a distinguished identity, it is enough to represent the respect of the Golden Tent King's Court for the Xiling Temple and the importance it attaches to the light sacrifice. What shocked the temple most was that the Golden Horde and Loeb came to Xiling directly through the Tang Realm without going around the moon wheel.
Ning Que had seen the national teacher of the King's Court of the Golden Account on the wasteland. He knew how unfathomable the realm of this ordinary-looking old man in cloth sweater was, and he didn't even dare to look at this old man more.
The envoy of the Kingdom of Yan has also arrived. Emperor Chongming, who had only succeeded to the throne at the beginning of the year, left behind the heavy state affairs and government affairs, and arrived with hundreds of his followers.
The representatives of Buddhism also arrived. Lanke Temple hosted the sea-watching monk and came alone, but the monk Wudao did not know where he went. There were also many iron rod ascetic monks in the Baita Temple. What made Ning Que most alarmed was the hanging temple on the far west. Actually sent a representative, it is the Buddha's seven thoughts walking the world!
The most noble royal family and the most powerful practitioners in the world have all come to the Kingdom of Xiling, ready to participate in the grand ceremony of the Light Festival. The scene is vast. The magnificence of the regulations far exceeds that of Lan Ke Temple's Yulan Festival. Only Tang Guo didn't send a formal mission, and Hong Xiu recruited for chat, and no one came to the academy.
Just after the war, Tang Guohe Academy did not send people to participate in the Illumination Ceremony. This is something that many people can understand, but people can’t understand. Even the Xuankong Temple, the Unknowable Place of Buddhism, has sent representatives, why they never heard The movement of Zhishouguan? You know that mysterious Taoist temple is an unknowable place of Taoism.
……
……
Many people came to the Xiling Temple, some were waiting in the Xiling Temple, and some chose to leave, because there was nothing he wanted here, and that person was Prince Longqing.
Longqing left Taoshan and the place to go is Zhishouguan. As a mysterious and unknowable place, even in the Xiling Temple, not many people know where the Taoist temple is in the deep mountains, but he has lived in that Taoist temple for a long time and naturally knows the way back.
Zhishou Temple is located in the Kingdom of Xiling, not far from Taoshan where the temple is located. There are several steep peaks between them. When the weather is fine, you can even see the temple in the sun in the temple.
Long Qing retracted his gaze in the direction of the temple, and looked at the ordinary or even simple gate in front of him. The wooden door of the Taoist temple was still closed as it was when I came last time, and no sound was heard inside.
Zhishou Temple is an unknowable place of Taoism. Naturally, it cannot be as ordinary and simple as its appearance. A very powerful Taoism array is arranged in the Taoism. When the formation is activated, it cannot pass through walls and cannot turn windows. You can only enter and exit through the Guanmen, and when the Guanmen are closed, no one can enter or leave. Taoism will become a prison, covering the sky with the ground. No one can escape.
After Zhishouguan appeared in the world, no one except the master can break in. Last fall, when the masters of the academy and the masters were fighting without distance, they once came here, and then left instantly, without being known. The big formation in the watch is imprisoned, but that doesn't mean that the realm of the big brother has been able to ignore this big formation, but because a person who knows the formation very well has done tricks in the watch in advance.
That person is Chen Pipi who has lived in Zhishou Guan since childhood. Long Qing knew about this, so he would venture into the Youge to see Chen Pipi, wanting to know how to enter Zhishou Temple.
Chen Pipi told him that the method of advancing knowledge and keeping watch is "seven in and thirteen out."
Long Qing doesn’t know what these five words mean. After these days of thinking, he guessed that Qijin should refer to the seven thatched houses on the shore of Guanli Lake, which represent the seven passages of the formation. The so-called thirteen outs should refer to the thirteen life-and-death cycles of formation.
He didn't have much research on the formation method, but he had the courage and determination. Looking at the stone steps in front of the Guanmen, he took a deep breath and walked up, reaching out to the Guanmen.
The palm of his hand has not yet fallen to the gate, an extremely majestic breath instantly occupy his body and mind, several black blood, flowing out of his nose and eyes, is silently affected. Serious injury, even if it wasn't for him to be an unintentional person, I'm afraid he would have died at this time!
Long Qing retreated below the stone steps, looked at the ordinary wooden door, his face became extremely pale, he didn't expect to be able to learn and watch, but he didn't expect this formation to be so terrifying.
After a moment of silence, he left the Guanmen, went to the back of the Taoist temple, looked at the gray stone walls that were not high, but did not have any courage to climb, and then he saw the green mountain behind Guanhou.
Long Qing is very familiar with this green mountain. He has traveled back and forth between Taoist Temple and the green mountain countless times. He has walked countless times in the ant-like caves in the cliff. He knows the reason why the mountain looks green. , That was because the surface of the cliff was covered with dense green vines, and he knew that there were many terrible people living inside.
Today's green hill has collapsed and turned into a mound more than ten feet high with green grass, which looks like an old tomb that has been left unattended for many years.
Long Qing looked at the green hill, and noticed that the top was flat. It felt like a giant protruding a foot from the sky, directly stepping on the original green hill into its current appearance.
The anthole-like caves in the green hills have long been gone, and the masters of Taoism who once lived in those caves have all turned into ashes in the tomb.
Recalling the torture he had suffered in those caves, the power he had felt, a powerful man as powerful as a half Taoist, Long Qing couldn't believe what he saw, and he was shocked and unable to speak. He hated those old ways again. , But those old ways always represent the power of Taoism. That experience has always been the source of his pride and self-confidence. However, in front of this miraculous picture, how ridiculous is his pride and self-confidence?
Long Qing sat cross-legged before returning to Zhishou Temple, and it took a long time to dispel the shock of his heart, so that the somewhat depressed heart regained peace, and began to think about Chen Pipi's words.
Seven in and 13 out, what does it mean? He pondered hard all night, and opened his eyes again when the morning light came, and the stone steps covered with moss came back into his eyes.
Suddenly he noticed that the stone steps in front of Guan are six levels in total.
Thirteen minus seven is exactly six?
Long Qing stood up after a moment of silence, walked to the stone steps, turned back and went up to the sixth stone steps, then went down to the sixth stone steps, and then backed up again to the seventh stone steps.
The stone steps in front of Guanqian are only six levels. After seven steps backwards, his back should hit the wooden door, but he didn't hit anything because he had already entered Zhishou Guan.
Advancing is retreating.
Knowing his male and guarding his female is knowing and guarding.
Knowing its advancement, guarding its retreat, and retreating as advancement, can you advance, know and observe.
Seven in and 13 out, or just that.
……
……
Enter Zhishouguan, walk along the familiar lake, and come to the familiar house. Before knocking the door, the door opened. A middle-aged Taoist looked at Long Qing and said, "You are here than I thought. Faster."
Long Qing saluted the middle-aged Taoist and said, "I have seen Master Uncle."
The middle-aged Taoist waved his hand and said, "You can come in."
Long Qing Yiyan walked into the house, and he smelled an unpleasant stench. This unpleasant smell came from the person on the couch.
He once smelled this, in the black wind in the south of Chang'an.
Looking at the person on the couch, his mood was a bit complicated, but the expression on his face remained unchanged. He walked to the couch, knelt down on his knees and touched the ground with his forehead, and said: "The disciple is incompetent, please master to punish him. "
