Fairy Sword Inquiry 1

Chapter 71
"Forget it, we people in the world are nothing but mayflies who don't know the day and night!" Looking up at the sky and birds high above, the young man who feels that the sky and the earth are infinite, feels a little disheartened for a while.Just as he was waking up to say that he was oppressed by heaven and earth, and he didn't know what he was doing, he suddenly heard a whisper in his ear: "Brother, what are you looking at?" Looking at the sky, without saying a word, he felt curious, tugged on the boy's sleeve, and asked.Hearing Qiong Xu's soft call, the young man who felt like a nightmare woke up.After calming down, he said softly, "My brother is looking at the birds in the sky. They fly so high!" "Well! They are so powerful! I really want to be like them one day and fly into the sky—— Then you can tear off a piece of cloud and use it as a quilt! Hee!" After saying that, the longing little girl smiled.

The young man who was in a daze suddenly saw this little girl, and under that smile, her eyebrows were slenderly curved into two crescent moons.

Seeing this pure and innocent sweet smile, the young man who was a little downhearted just now cheered up again: "It's because of this little girl who came thousands of miles to look for me, just now that smiling face, I, Zhang Xingyan, will work hard today !"

Then he saw the young man who had recovered to normal, leading the little girl who was still smiling, walking towards the deep and secluded Guanmen of the Shangqing Palace.

... Before coming to Guanmen, Xingyan explained to Qiongxi what needs to be paid attention to.Seeing his solemn expression, and thinking of the words she heard along the way, this well-behaved little girl also knew that this time was of great importance, so she flashed her big bright eyes and firmly remembered the boy's words in her heart.

Before watching the gate, Xingyan asked the little Taoist priest guarding the gate to go in and announce that the Master of the Four Seas Hall had something to see.The little Taoist knew about Xingyan, so he didn't dare to be negligent, and hurried in to inform him.After a while, the little Taoist came out and said to Xingyan: "The head master is seeing a guest—but he said that you can enter now, and go to the Chengxin Hall on the west side of the inner hall to meet him." After thanking the little Taoist priest, he took Qiongxi and walked into the gate of Shangqing Temple.Not long after entering the temple, walking on the corridor, he woke up and heard low howling sounds from the inner hall in front, as if a wild beast was roaring lowly. "It's a big tiger!!" Qiong Xi clapped his hands excitedly when he heard the voice! "what?"

Following the guidance of the gatekeeper disciple, Xingyan found strangely that as he was walking towards Chengxin Hall, the low howling of a tiger that he had heard before became louder and louder now!

After arriving at the hall with the plaque of "Chengxin Hall" hanging on it, after entering, he saw the head of Lingxu talking with an old Taoist with fluttering robes and sleeves.And this red-faced, bearded Daoist Gao, beside him was a tiger with a white forehead and drowsy eyes, lurking its minions, roaring restlessly!

Judging by the way the sect master spoke to the red-faced Taoist, this old Taoist is probably not a person of the highest purity.Seeing that there is a guest, Xingyan tactfully avoids it, not going forward to salute and speak for the time being——

But he forgot that there was a curious little girl beside him!Seeing this little Qiongxi, when he saw this big tiger, he couldn't help but slipped out of the boy's palm, cheered, and rushed towards the fierce beast that had been howling all the time! "ah!"

If he didn't notice, he just watched this little girl carved in pink and jade, jumping happily all the way towards the ferocious beast!But when the two Taoists were stunned, and the young man was about to cast the icy knot again, he saw that the king of beasts who had been howling, when the little girl approached, suddenly stopped roaring and stopped. Caught the ground-scratching claws, she became like a gentle cat, narrowing her tiger eyes, allowing this innocent little girl to caress her majestic fur with her little hand, which is as white as jade. !

"Ha ha!!"

Just when Xingyan breathed a sigh of relief, he heard that Daoist Gao burst out laughing.He only heard him boasting to Lingxuzi in front of him:

"Master Lingxu! You didn't really believe it just now—look, how tame the tiger I just tamed three days ago! I'll use it as a mount soon!
"Hmph, my title of 'Taoist subduing the tiger' is not just a mere nonsense of the poor daoist!" !" "Ahem, please call me 'Taoist Fuhu'!" "..."

In the middle of the conversation between these two familiar masters, Xingyan, the master of the Four Seas Hall, was a little anxious at the side-although it seemed that Qiong Xi seemed to be very familiar with these birds and beasts, but what if the tiger , suddenly became fierce, that was really not a prank.At that moment, Xingyan didn't care about being rude, and hurried forward to pull this reluctant little girl back from the side of the tiger——

No one noticed that just as the young man approached the fierce tiger, the unruly king of all beasts shrank back quietly!
"Haha! It seems that today is a good time to tame animals—the old Taoist will leave now!" "Zhao Zhenren——"

"Please call me 'Taoist Fuhu'!" "Ugh! Taoist Fuhu, don't forget about the poor Taoist entrustment!"

"That's natural! I'm a Fuhu Taoist, but I also want to see, which is the sacred way, dare to come to Luofu Mountain to demonstrate!" "Then please take care!"

"Where are you talking? Farewell!" After finishing speaking, the red-faced Taoist drank his cat-like fierce tiger and drifted away... "Unexpectedly, Daoist Zhao was able to subdue the fierce tiger in just a few days. It seems that Taoism has improved a lot!" "What the head said is very true." Xingyan echoed at the side—but he thought in his heart, did he forget that there was something else when he planned to take in Qiongxu yesterday? One trick.While praising in Lingxu's mouth, and waking up to think in his heart, Qiong Xun was biting his fingers and looking out the door, but suddenly heard a roar and scolding sound from the outside of Shangqing... The people in the hall looked at each other, I don't know why.It was the head of Lingxu who asked Xingyan first, "Fellow Daoist, what do you want to tell me here?"

"I have reported to the head of the sect, I went down the mountain yesterday to inspect the fields, and found this lonely and helpless girl in the countryside. I saw that she had no one to cling to, and she had a lot of wisdom, so I would like to join my Taoist sect to practice -- I dare to ask the head master to show me Your Majesty, allow me to take her into the Four Seas Hall."

After finishing his words carefully, Xingyan watched Lingxu's reaction nervously, not daring to meet him directly.

... "That's all?"

"Eh?" Hearing the words of Master Master, Xingyan was shocked, raised his head to look at the Daoist Lingxu from Shangqing Palace, and didn't know what his words meant for a moment! "I mean, wake up to say that you are the head of the disciple hall of the secular family in the Shangqing palace, and the matter of recruiting disciples is up to you, the head of the hall, to decide. You don't have to ask me." "Uh?!"

The young man who was about to take on the turmoil of the day, his head seemed to be knotted after hearing the headmaster's words!On the contrary, the little girl Qiongxu was innocent and innocent. After hearing Lingxuzi's words, she clapped her hands happily and said, "That's great, then let him accept Qiongxu as his younger sister!" Hearing the innocent words of this little girl , Seeing the young man stunned again, Lingxuzi, the master teacher of the Shangqing Palace, seemed to see through what he was thinking, and said with a slight smile: "Wake up, since I have appointed you as the master of the Four Seas Hall by the Shangqing Palace, this hall The position of master is by no means a vain job.

Since you are the hall master, you have the right to be arbitrary within the scope of your duties, just like the fellow Taoists of the Lingting Lingzhen!
"It's just that my Shangqing Palace has always been very strict in selecting apprentices. In addition to the fact that the family background of the entry-level disciples must be clean, the aptitude of the person must also be superior--if there is another newcomer in the Four Seas Hall in the future, you must strictly examine it, Master Zhang... "

It's just that the second half of Lingxu's words seemed to be in vain - the ecstatic Hall Master Zhang couldn't hear the rest of the words clearly, and just kept nodding his head in agreement!

"Well, originally this female disciple was going to go to the Purple Cloud Palace..." As soon as she said this, Qiong Xun shouted: "But I just want to be with my brother!"

"Uh, that's fine. Anyway, you are still young, so stay in the Four Seas Hall for now. Hall Master Zhang can go to Qingyun of Shanshi Hall to register her in the register. By the way, get some money and give it to this person." Little fellow daoist bought two sets of clothes..."

"Okay, okay!" Now, the young Hall Master didn't know how to say other words.

"Well, if there is nothing else, the hall master will take this little fellow daoist to register in the hall of good deeds." "Okay, okay!"

Just when the hall master Zhang, as if in the clouds and fog, with his feet on the pile of cotton, was about to leave the Chengxin hall——but suddenly he heard the head of Lingxu behind him suddenly say in a deep voice: " Hall Master Zhang!"

Hearing this sudden low voice, Zhang Zhang's first reaction was to pretend he didn't hear it, and hurriedly dragged Qiong Xifei out of the Shangqing Guanmen!
However, Xing Yan still stopped, gathered his mind, turned around and said slowly: "The disciple is about to follow what the headmaster said, and go to the good work hall to do things-I don't know what else is there?" "You... Did Qinghe learn Taoism?"

"..." Maybe these turning points came too fast. This young man, who was originally calm, was stunned for a moment, only thinking there: "Qinghe? Qinghe? What is Qinghe? Why do you think it's so smooth? ?” After a short pause, the young man finally came to his senses: “Oh! It turned out to be that tired old man who came to my house to cheat and drink!”…… The head of Lingxu seems to be interested in the old man Qinghe. Son, quite prejudiced—he asks me like this now, but he doesn't know what he means? "Although he was worried in his heart, facing Lingxu's question, Xingyan replied without hesitation: "Yes, Taoist Master Qinghe once taught me some Taoism.My Shangqing classic "Shangqing Jing" was passed down by him. "

Look at the voice of Sect Leader Lingxu earlier, the "Tales of Exorcising Evil in Town Houses" that the old man Qinghe once gave to the young man, of course it is omitted!
"Well... but Taoism is not magic, so you should study it hard." "This little fellow Taoist has a powerful aura. You can take her to listen to more scriptures in Chongde Hall in the future." Indifferent After saying these few words, the head of Lingxu stopped talking, and started to close his eyes to rest his mind. "Thank you for your teaching, Sect Master! There is so much trouble today, this disciple will leave now!" But he woke up and said that he was afraid that the night would be long and dreamy, so he hurriedly said his goodbyes, and then pulled Qiong Xun, who was still interested in observing Lingxu's beard, and hurried out the door --"Well……"

A late answer came from behind, and it seemed a bit illusory to Xing Yan's ears, making him wonder all the way, whether the sound just now was just his own illusion...

When they got out of the gate of Shangqing Hall and came to the large square of Feiyunding, the two young men and women found that the golden sunlight above the sky had pierced through the clouds, tearing several The golden pillar of light was casting on these two people.The skirts of Xingyan and Qiongxu were dyed with radiance, as if the golden glow from the sky had already fallen on the two of them.

And the three peaks of Baoxia, which are far away from the Feiyunding, are now illuminated by these golden brilliance penetrating the sky and the earth, floating on the rushing clouds and mist in the mountains, just like the gilded emerald jade. It's like a fairy island piled up.

Looking at the extraordinary wonders of heaven and earth, and thinking about the delightful event just now, Zhang Xingyan, the young master of the Hall of Four Seas, suddenly became energetic, and said loudly to the Qiongxi girl who was like a jade girl and a golden boy beside him:
"Let's go, let's go home!" "Yeah!"

It is:

Facing enchanting friends in the morning, watching the vast clouds in the evening.Innocent and happy way, it is the home of the gods!
