Chapter 6 Chapter 62 Secret Art

In the Huozi Room of the 23rd Courtyard of Yidao, Wang Zongjing sat quietly in the room, as if he was in deep thought, with a cloudy expression in the dim light.These days, Xu Shi met every day, and the people around him didn't notice much, but Wang Zongjing's temperament and appearance had unknowingly matured a lot compared to the day when he first entered Qingyun Bieyuan, and he was a little less wild. , but a little more calm. But at this moment, after he had pondered for a long time, the expression on his face slowly changed again, as if he had remembered something, gradually showing hatred, and a trace of hostility flitted across his face.After a while like this, he suddenly took a deep breath, but took a blank piece of paper from the table, brushed the pen and ink, concentrated for a moment, and then wrote the pen on the paper.

Holding the pen with a heavy wrist, it seems that his speed is not fast, and the ink marks on the paper are not written words, but rather simple and rough lines, gradually forming some frames, which vaguely look like houses and roads appearance.Every time he draws a few strokes, Wang Zongjing will stop to think carefully, and then continue to draw. As the traces on the paper gradually take shape, the resentment on his face fades away, but the light in his eyes lights up , with a cold face, staring at the picture that looked like a house on a small road in a certain village, especially the house surrounded by many small houses that looked particularly large, he stared at it for a long time, long time……

"Five years..." In the silence, he could vaguely hear his low voice talking to himself. Such dreary days seem too long for those who are full of worries, but on the second day, all the newcomer disciples who participated in the Qingyun test in the Qingyun Bieyuan learned a news that was beyond everyone's expectations. Like a stone thrown into a calm lake, it caused huge ripples. Nearly half a year after the start of the Qingyun Sect, the Qingyun Sect suddenly decided to let all the disciples who participated in the Qingyun Sect participate in an unheard-of test. In the foreign land created by the Great God's channeling method, after experiencing various tests in it, and finally finding a "Aoki Token" card hidden in a secret place, it can be regarded as passing.

As soon as this remark came out, almost all the newcomer disciples who participated in the Qingyun Examination were shocked. You must know that Qingyun Sect has held the Qingyun Examination for many years, and it is now famous all over the world, and the rules and procedures of it have long been known.In the past Qingyun Examinations, only Qingyun Sect handed down the practice method to let all the disciples participate in it by themselves, and after the one-year period expires, they will be assessed one by one. There may be some changes in them, but they are all harmless small movements, not counting. What, but it has never been like this year, a new event that all disciples must participate in has been suddenly created.

Obviously, with such a big commotion, this foreign land move must be an important move for the Qingyun Sect to join the Qingyun Trial, and it must have a major impact on the selection of entry-level disciples when the Qingyun Trial ends half a year later.During the period, although many disciples were surprised and quite dissatisfied with this sudden trip to a foreign land, Qingyun Sect is a famous giant in the world, and those ordinary disciples didn't have much to say, they just said what they said. Just four words. Most of the rookie disciples who complained were from well-born families. According to the current rules, as long as they practice honestly, with the help of the family behind them, the chances of being selected into the Qingyun Sect will be much higher than disciples from ordinary families. There are many, and many people doubt whether Qingyunmen's move is also intended to correct this situation.But no matter what, since the matter was announced, it was settled. After everyone complained, they couldn't just quit the Qingyun test, so everyone's attention was soon focused on the rules of the trip to foreign lands that were announced later.

What kind of place is the foreign land? The master Qingyunmen didn't go into details. All they can know is that the place is quite magical, and it was created by the channeling method of the great god of Qingyunmen. , that place must not be small, and from this we can also see the strength of Qingyun sect's Taoism.As for the Aoki Token that everyone was fighting for, it was described in detail. It was a blue wooden plaque about five inches in size, with the three characters "Aoki Token" engraved on it, which was very recognizable. There are only forty sides of the green wood tokens hidden in various places in the foreign land.In other words, there are only forty chances to win in the end.

Other than that, the masters of the Qingyun Sect didn't say anything more, but some of the disciples who were able to participate in the Qingyun Examination were stupid people. The number of disciples under the income door is exactly forty. These two numbers are so coincidental, which can be described as meaningful. The time is set in three days. The Qing Yunjian disciples who returned to their respective courtyards were all shocked by the sudden news, and most of them were not in the mood to practice for a while.Everyone is talking about this trip to a foreign land, and no one dares to take it lightly.

Why did everyone come here? Isn't it to worship the Qingyunmen, which has the world's number one cultivator and is famous in China? Even if there is the slightest chance, it should not be missed, let alone a test with such obvious hints. Compared with the fiery situation in other courtyards, the situation in the Yidao 23rd courtyard where Wang Zongjing lived was better. However, the five people living in this courtyard all stood under the willow tree in the courtyard without exception. They discussed this in a low voice. At the gate of the courtyard, Big Yellow was lazily lying on the stone steps, and Little Hui was leaning against it, looking a bit bored, looking up from time to time to those people standing in the upper courtyard, and holding a bag in his hand. I picked the wild fruit somewhere and chewed it in my mouth.

Willow branches fluttered in the courtyard, and five people formed a circle under the tree, but no one spoke for a while.Wang Zongjing glanced around, and saw that Xiao Ding looked the most relaxed among all the people, standing with a smile on the corner of his mouth, looking at the people next to him with interest, as if he was very excited about this trip to a foreign land. Yearning and excitement, but I don't know if he directly regards the foreign land as a fun opportunity in his heart. Qiu Diaosi was still taciturn, with his brows slightly frowned, and his expression was a little cloudy, while Nanshan who was standing beside Wang Zongjing was also silent. Wang Zongjing looked at him twice, his heart moved, but Suddenly, I feel that I have been obsessed with cultivation these days, and I haven't said a few words to Nanshan, a friend who grew up with me since I was a child. They seem to be quite strange to each other.

Or, in fact, since Nanshan entered Qingyun Bieyuan, apart from the initial meeting, the two have always been like this? He was at a loss for a moment and didn't know what to say. Fortunately, among the five people, there was only one woman, Su Wenqing. She glanced at everyone around her, and finally her gaze fell on Wang Zongjing. She smiled sweetly and said, : "Prince Wang, have you heard of this strange land before?" Wang Zongjing shook his head and said, "I've never heard of it before." As he spoke, he turned his head to look at the other people around him, and saw that no matter whether it was Qiu Diaosi or Nanshan, including Xiao Ding, they were all shaking their heads together. Su Wenqing smiled and said, "I've never heard of this either. Before coming to Qingyun Mountain, I also asked the elders in the family, but no one said anything about the foreign land, it must be a new thing that came out in the past few years."

Qiu Diaosi shook his head slowly, with a solemn expression, and said: "There are more than nine hundred people, but there are only forty green wood orders. This is too difficult." Nanshan glanced at Wang Zongjing, a look of worry flashed across his fat face, but he didn't speak, but this imperceptible expression fell into the eyes of Su Wenqing who was standing opposite him, making her clear and thoughtful , but didn't have any other expressions, just smiled at Qiu Diaosi and said: "Difficulty is naturally difficult, but presumably other people are similar to us. Anyway, since Qingyun Immortals have this problem, we have to Just do your best to fight for an Aoki Token." Wang Zongjing and the others all nodded, Su Wenqing paused, frowned slightly, but lowered his voice, and said in a low voice: "However, I heard the meaning of the words of the elders of the Qingyun Sect. There are many tests in the foreign world. I thought about it, and besides the competition between many disciples, or the difficult terrain, wouldn't there be... ferocious monsters, right?" Qiu Diaosi couldn't help snorting, and said in a deep voice: "Monster beasts are ferocious, and if you accidentally encounter them, you will be in danger of your life. I don't think it's possible. Otherwise, I really don't know why Master Qingyunmen would do this. arrange?" Xiao Ding who was standing at the side laughed, and said nonchalantly: "It's okay, Brother Qiu, it's more fun with monsters, and I will protect you." Qiu Diaosi choked up, and glared at the kid, only to see Xiao Ding grinning, his expression was cute, without irony, it seemed like he was speaking the truth, which made people feel powerless, so he had to Humming twice, he looked away. Su Wenqing turned to Nanshan who had been silent all this time, and said, "Master Nan, what do you think?" Nan Shan hesitated for a moment, and said: "I came a long time later than everyone else, and my morals are low, so I can only do my best." Su Wenqing smiled slightly, his eyes moved, and fell on Wang Zongjing, but he was slightly taken aback. He saw Wang Zongjing's eyes were slightly focused, but he was a little lost in thought. Su Wenqing called him twice, and Wang Zongjing woke up, "Oh Oh" two times, it is agreed.Su Wenqing was a little strange in his heart, and looked at Wang Zongjing with a sense of scrutiny in his eyes, but Wang Zongjing had no other abnormalities, so the five of them stood together and discussed for a while, and suddenly thought of a good way. It is impossible to come out, because everyone knows nothing about what the foreign land looks like, whether there are monsters in it, and if there are monsters, how powerful they are. Naturally, there is no way to talk about any countermeasures. So in the end, after all, there was only one sentence left, "act according to circumstances", and everyone went back to their houses. Wang Zongjing walked back to the Huozi room, closed the door, walked back to the room and sat down at the table, the expression on his face became a little dignified again, he was not worried about this sudden test in a foreign land, but because Su Wenqing just now Those words about monsters aroused a little doubt in his heart that had been hidden for a long time: Are there really no traces of monsters around the Qingyun Mountains... Three days is naturally reserved for many disciples to prepare, others don't know, but considering the time, it is too late for Wang Zongjing and Xiao Ding to go to the Big Bamboo Peak again.Although he felt somewhat regretful, Wang Zongjing still yearned for this upcoming trip to a foreign land from the bottom of his heart.His original temperament was a little adventurous, and as for the presence of monsters in foreign lands, he once fought countless fierce monsters in the primeval forest of Shiwan Dashan, struggling to survive. For three full years, how could there be any fear? It's just that although he is not afraid, he is still a little cautious in his heart. Having personally experienced the power of monsters, he knows how terrifying monsters are. These disciples of Qingyun who are superficial, but even if they are ordinary monsters, they will still be a great trouble to these disciples of Qingyun. Originally, Wang Zongjing still had a trump card in his heart, thinking that Xiao Ding would also go, as long as he went, the two generals Rhubarb and Xiaohui would most likely follow, so there was nothing to be afraid of.That day in the underground palace under Heyang City, Da Huang and Xiao Hui's fighting power when facing the skeleton monsters was astonishingly strong, they would probably be invincible against ordinary or even stronger monsters.It's just unexpected that this time, someone in the Qingyunmen sneered. On the second day after the announcement of the trip to foreign lands, Mu Huaizheng ran to their No. 23 courtyard early and told them plainly Yes, yellow dogs and gray monkeys are not allowed to go to foreign lands this time. At that time, Xiao Ding didn't react too much, but Rhubarb looked very unhappy. He opened his mouth and walked around Mu Huaizheng in a circle, looking at Mu Huaizheng maliciously, with interlaced sharp teeth. A place to talk.Mu Huai didn't change his face, but not long after he finished speaking, he found an excuse and slipped away with oil on his feet.His master is Song Daren from the Big Bamboo Peak, he is very clear about the origin of this big yellow dog, that is, a dog cannot be ranked in the same seniority as a human, otherwise on the Big Bamboo Peak, Da Huang's seniority would be much higher than him Yes, even if you bite, it's in vain. Not to mention that the disciples of the Qingyun Test in the Qingyun Bieyuan waited for the arrival of this trip to a foreign land with all kinds of complicated mentality. In Qingyunmen's past history, there has never been such an act of opening a foreign realm, and it seems that it has never heard of such a strange magic method.While everyone was discussing in private, news spread that this matter was presided over by Xiao Yicai, the real person in charge, and arranged by Zeng Shushu and Song Daren among the five elders. Since it was arranged by the elders of the sect to host, it would not be a bad thing, after all, everyone believed that these few people possessed earth-shattering supernatural powers, and most of them sighed, but also rejoiced that the Qingyun sect was really revived again.You must know that such great supernatural powers that open up foreign lands may be heard occasionally in the world, but most of them are just vague rumors.Now that Qingyunmen can do this, the strength contained in it is probably not weaker than the prosperous era of the past. On the Big Bamboo Peak of Qingyun Mountain, the warm sun shines lazily on the top of the mountain, and the majestic bamboo waves still echo endlessly between the sky and the earth, and the wind blows through the bamboo forest, rustling. Sunlight fell through the gaps in the branches and leaves, and danced lightly on the narrow trail behind the mountain. Lu Xueqi, who was dressed in white clothes like a fairy, climbed up the steps. Wu, went up quietly, and walked to the tomb of Tian Buyi and his wife in the middle of the mountain road. A figure of a man was standing beside the tomb, bending over and patiently pulling out the green weeds emerging from the soil around the tomb, then picked up the broom and dustpan, and carefully cleaned the quiet and deep land.Lu Xueqi walked over slowly, her eyes paused for a moment on the handwriting of Tian Buyi and Suru on the tombstone, she lowered her head, closed her eyes, showing some respect on her face, said a few words in a low voice, and finally Turning around to look at the man who had stood up and looked back, he smiled slightly and said, "You're here." Lu Xueqi smiled, waited for Zhang Xiaofan to pack everything, then walked over and stood side by side with her, looking at the two ordinary and peaceful tombs in front of her, Zhang Xiaofan was silent for a moment, then suddenly said: "What did you say to the master and wife just now? " Lu Xueqi smiled slightly, and said: "I ask Master Tian to have a spirit in the sky, and bless our family to be safe and sound, so that there will be no more suffering, and we will live a peaceful life like this." Zhang Xiaofan smiled, didn't say anything, just stretched out his hand and gently shook her snow-white and soft palm. "We are naturally quiet here on the Big Bamboo Peak, but I heard that the Qingyun Gate has not been very quiet recently." Lu Xueqi glanced at him, frowned slightly, and said, "You heard that too?" Zhang Xiaofan smiled and said: "Don't forget that there are not only the two of us on this mountain, from the senior brother to the sixth senior brother, a bunch of people rushed to talk about it during the meal." Lu Xueqi snorted, showing a bit of a gesture that would only occasionally be shown in front of Zhang Xiaofan, and said in a low voice: "These men, why are they more talkative than women!" Zhang Xiaofan laughed, took her hand, turned around, and walked down the mountain. On the mountain road, there are blue stones strewn across, moss can be seen everywhere, and I don’t know how many years of wind, frost, rain and snow, the two of them walked down side by side, the bamboo shadows whirling, in this ethereal mountain, they are like a fairy... Uh, the female is more like Fairy, the male is a bit more ordinary. Lu Xueqi walked for a while, and then said: "As far as I know, the ancestors of the Qingyun Sect did not have such a magical way to open up a foreign land. I also asked Senior Brother Song that the matter of this foreign land was arranged by Senior Brother Xiao." Yes, they don't know when Senior Brother Xiao mastered this Taoism. But according to the few of them, the arrangement of this Taoism is pure and elegant, and it is in the same line as the Taoism taught by our Qingyun Sect ancestors. It really seems to be in the same line Divine power." Zhang Xiaofan nodded, there was no expression on his face, and he didn't say much, but Lu Xueqi showed a bit of thinking on his face, and said softly: "If it really is Qingyun sect's ancestor's teaching technique, then we have no reason not to know , but apart from Senior Brother Xiao, no one has ever seen this kind of supernatural power, which is really strange." Zhang Xiaofan stopped suddenly, Lu Xueqi felt something almost at the same time, she also stopped her steps, looked up, and saw a black spot appeared in the clouds in the distance in front of her, it quickly became bigger, but it was Du Bishu who was driving the dice The magic weapon has returned to the Big Bamboo Peak with the big yellow and the little gray.Once they fell down, both Big Yellow and Little Gray became excited at the same time, as if this was their most familiar home, they hurriedly rushed towards the kitchen. It's just that besides them, Xiao Ding, who was always with them, didn't come back, presumably because of the trip to a foreign land, he brought Big Yellow and Little Hui back to the Big Bamboo Peak first. Zhang Xiaofan looked at the dogs and monkeys playing and running excitedly from a distance, he was silent for a moment, then suddenly said: "I have seen this kind of supernatural powers before." Lu Xueqi was startled immediately, turned her head to look at him, and wondered, "What?" Zhang Xiaofan smiled faintly, glanced across the majestic giant peak that soared into the sky in the distance, and said: "I've seen it before, it's in the 'Huanyue Cave Mansion'..." "Don't think too much, it must be the secret technique in the Huanyue Cave." Qingyun Mountain Fenghui Peak, accompanied by a deep cough, an old voice rang out in the cave. Zeng Shushu was startled, and hurried forward, helped his father, Uncle Zeng, to sit down by the bed, handed the water glass to his father, and caressed Uncle Zeng's back, shook his head and smiled wryly: "The secret technique is the secret technique, you Why should the old man be excited, don't be so anxious." Uncle Zeng drank a couple of sips of water, he looked much calmer, then put the cup into Zeng Shushu's hand, and said calmly: "Coughing a few times, someone will cough to death somewhere." "Yes, yes, you are right." Zeng Shushu's humble appearance of a filial son and virtuous grandson is quite different from his majestic appearance in front of many younger disciples outside. He took the water glass and put it aside, and he dragged over a chair. Sitting next to Zeng Shuchang, he said with some doubts: "Father, but I have never heard that there is such a wonderful supernatural power in the Taoism handed down by our Qingyun sect's ancestors?" Uncle Zeng waved his hand, pondered for a moment, and said: "Didn't you say it yourself, these days when you assisted in arranging strange magic techniques from the side, you also felt that this secret technique was pure and pure, and it was similar to many Taoist techniques of Qingyun sect place." Zeng Shushu nodded, and said: "This is true, indeed. I just can't figure it out. If there is such a magical method, why haven't the ancestors of all generations used it for so many years?" Uncle Zeng was silent for a moment, and said: "It's not the ancestors of the past generations, but the masters of the past generations." It has always been a forbidden place that only real masters of our sect are allowed to enter." "As for why the real masters of the previous generations were unwilling to bring out this secret technique, I don't know the reason, but since Xiao Yi is able to do what he is doing now, at least it shows that he has already gained a lot in the Huanyue Cave." Uncle Zeng lowered his head slightly, but lowered his voice a little, and said, "These days, you can be regarded as the confidant of Daoist Master. From your point of view, how is he doing now?" Zeng Shushu frowned, thought carefully for a moment, but shook his head, and said: "Senior Brother Xiao was far better than me many years ago, and in the past ten years or so, he has rarely had the opportunity to make a phone call. It is unpredictable." Uncle Zeng nodded silently, and after a long time he slowly said: "I'm afraid he has already obtained the secret of the Huanyue Cave, and his Taoism has greatly advanced." Zeng Shushu didn't say a word, and after a while, he said in a low voice: "Senior Brother Xiao has made great progress in Taoism, and it is a good thing for Qing Yun." Uncle Zeng took a deep look at him and said nothing. Saying goodbye to his old father, Zeng Shushu walked out of the cave. The sun fell, and he, who had been in the dark room all this time, couldn't help but close his eyes slightly. After a while, he whispered to himself: "Only the real headmaster has entered. The Illusory Moon Cave Mansion..." As he muttered to himself, his eyes also drifted away, looking into the depths of the unknown sea of ​​clouds in the distance, dazed. And out of sight, below the huge mountain range, in a corner that is very dark even in the daytime in the deepest part of the forest at the foot of the mountain, the figure of a young girl came quietly through the thorns and grass, with the help of a barely visible Light, it can be seen that she is Su Xiaolian. Surrounded by extremely tall and dense giant trees, this dark corner of the forest is particularly quiet compared to other places. Not only are there no birds and beasts, but the original ubiquitous insects, in this place also disappeared. Except for the darkness, there is only deathly silence... Su Xiaolian's face looked a little pale, and there was a little fear in her eyes when she looked around, but for some reason she insisted on walking over, walked deep in the shadow of the forest, and then With his eyes wide open, he looked at the dark shadow around him with some difficulty, and looked around. A ghostly black figure appeared behind her silently, but Su Xiaolian didn't notice it, she was still looking at the dark depths ahead, as if she was looking for something.The black shadow behind her stayed for a while, seeing that Su Xiaolian was still waiting with a little fear, and then slowly drifted away. A figure slowly appeared from behind a big tree, it was a tall figure shrouded in a cloud of black air, a slightly hoarse man's voice said in the shadow of the black air: "Why did you come to me suddenly? thing?" Seeing the black figure suddenly appear in front of her eyes, Su Xiaolian couldn't help taking a step back, a trace of fear flashed across her face, and her face became paler and paler. The black figure on the opposite side hid in the shadow of the tree except for the first question. It didn't seem to be annoyed because Su Xiaolian didn't answer immediately, but waited silently and patiently.After Su Xiaolian took a few deep breaths, she gradually calmed down, and then hesitated for a moment, saying: "Three days later, Qingyunmen will let all of us participate in a test in a different world." "Foreign land?" The black figure in the shadow visibly shook, and then asked Su Xiaolian about the foreign land in detail, but Su Xiaolian was just an ordinary Qingyun test disciple, Qingyun sect announced The news was vague and did not reveal too much information, but even so, the man in the shadow seemed to be very shocked, and he was concentrating on it from time to time. In contrast, what Su Xiaolian said about many disciples vying for the Aoki Token, the total number is only forty and so on, the mysterious black shadow man doesn't seem to care much at all, it seems that all he cares about is here The thaumaturgy itself. In the end, when he repeatedly questioned Su Xiaolian and couldn't hear any other news, he stopped talking and said in a deep voice in the shadowy black air: "I know about this matter, you can go now, Qingyun Since the sect dared to let all the Qingyun test disciples enter the alien realm, they must be sure that you will not have to worry about their lives. As for what to do after entering, you can decide for yourself. Anyway, I have already told you what I should say After that, your future depends only on yourself." Su Xiaolian nodded silently, without any superfluous expression on her face, she was about to turn around when suddenly a rare expression of firmness flashed across her face, she suddenly raised her head, but said loudly: "There is one more thing, I found out Recently, someone has been following me secretly." "Huh?" As soon as this remark came out, even the people in the shadows had advanced human skills, and they were also taken aback. "That man is a disciple of Qingyun Sect. I heard that his status in Qingyun Sect is not low, and his Taoism is also a leader among his peers. His name is Ouyang Jianqiu, and he is a disciple of Elder Zeng Shushu of Fenghui Peak." Su Xiaolian said these words, For some reason, she suddenly felt that her throat was a little dry. Looking at the dark and uncertain black air, her heartbeat accelerated involuntarily, but she still gritted her teeth, and clearly articulated these words like a knife. Said out, "I found out that he followed me purely by accident, but after a few days, after I paid attention, I would find this person appeared near me. I don't know what he has in mind for me, but he is better than me Too much, and some things I might not even notice..." "Okay." Suddenly, the man in the shadow shouted in a low voice, Su Xiaolian immediately closed his mouth, and waited for a while, Su Xiaolian secretly raised his head and looked forward, only to see the man in the shadow. , the black air surged, slowly rolled and rose, and the expression of the person behind the black air could not be seen at all.Just when she was confused and nervous in her heart, she heard the man's voice coming from behind the black air, and said slowly: "I know about this, you can go back, you don't have to care about this person any more, just pretend you don't know about it." Well, I have my own idea." Su Xiaolian didn't expect that the man in black would give such an answer, so she couldn't help being startled for a moment, but then she agreed in a low voice, turned around and was about to leave here, but at this moment, the man in black suddenly looked like He was a little puzzled when he discovered something, and his body moved slightly, as if he wanted to speak to keep Su Xiaolian behind, but then he held back and let Su Xiaolian leave.When the figure of the girl disappeared into the dark forest, he was a little bit puzzled, and said to himself in a voice that only he could hear: "It's strange, why does her complexion look better so much?" Much, it seems that Shura's power has been suppressed and gradually weakened, so what's going on..." After contemplating for a while, the man in black didn't come up with any answer, so he didn't think too much for the time being, and turned around slowly, but his eyes were like cold electricity, looking coldly at a certain person in the Qingyun Mountain Range through the black air and dense branches. After a while, he said in a low voice: "Ouyang Jianqiu, Feng Huifeng... Zeng Shushu... hehehehe..." A series of icy cold laughter echoed faintly in the deepest part of this dense forest.
