Chapter 35: Passing through the sect and seeing the miracle
"We are the people who are responsible for the Yun Sect and asked you to find someone?" Zheng Qiu's answer was unexpected to the young man. He thought for a while and then asked, "Then please tell me who asked you to come to the Yun Sect. And who are you looking for here?"
"Well, I don't know who it is. Anyway, they asked me to find someone named Ming Zong."
Upon hearing Zheng Qiu's words, a trace of anger flashed across the young man's face, but it was only for a moment. Before the anger could be expressed, it was replaced by a warm smile.
The young man shook his head slightly: "There is only one elder named Ming Zong in our Qianyun Sect. You can't tell who asked you to come here, and there is no invitation or letter, so I can't let you in."
"Yes, I have something." Zheng Qiu untied his short coat, took out a rough-made cloth bag from his arms, and handed it up with the bag. The young man took the bag, opened it, and was stunned.
Inside the bag was a piece of white jade. This shape and pattern were familiar to everyone in the Qianyun Sect. He took out the jade piece and raised it up, looking at the sky to carefully observe the pattern on it. Isn't this the cloud talisman?
But he was still a little worried, fearing that he had seen it wrong. So he confirmed to Zheng Qiu again: "This, uh... this distinguished guest, who gave you this cloud charm? If you can't tell me the name, can you? Can you describe that person’s appearance?”
Zheng Qiu touched his chin and tilted his head to recall. When he described the senior brother, the young man's face was full of doubts, but when he mentioned the girl, after only a few words, the young man showed a look of sudden realization.
The young man quickly stuffed the cloud talisman back into Zheng Qiu's hand, walked to Zheng Qiu's side and held the back of the wheelchair: "I will take you to Elder Mingzong right now. I will push the wheelchair."
Zheng Qiu looked at the small stone house next to the mountain gate and asked, "If you take us there, won't there be no one here?"
"It's okay, it's okay, it only takes a little time, there will be no problem."
The roads in Qianyun Sect are very easy to walk. They are all paved with stone and bricks. There are no steps up and down the mountain. They are gentle slopes. In some steep places, there are huge flat stone platforms floating up and down. These stone platforms float up and down automatically. Connecting broken roads.
After standing on the stone platform, Zheng Qiu saw that there was also a green stone in the center of the stone platform, which was floating green. It seemed that these up and down stone platforms were based on the same principle as the sky boat.
He discovered that Zheng Qiu was studying Shitai, and the young man enthusiastically introduced it to him.
The young man said that these stone platforms are called Qianyun Ladders. In the Qianyun Sect, they have replaced stairs. Even in buildings, smaller Qianyun Ladders are used to go up and down the stairs. The only place where Qianyun Sect has stairs now was a thousand years ago. Wentian Pavilion was preserved to this day by Emperor Jianzong.
Take this forked road to the left, that forked road to the right, sometimes take the dry ladder to the top of the mountain, sometimes take the dry ladder to the mountainside.
After turning around, Zheng Qiu found that he was lost. He looked at the woods and gray buildings in front of him, and looked similar at the back. He had no idea where he was. So he stepped up his steps and walked to the side of the young man, fearing that he would follow him. leave.
Going around another intersection, Zheng Qiu discovered that a building was under construction on the side of the road. The wall of the building was only two feet long. A dozen men and women wearing blue-striped white robes were floating in the air, forming a circle to cover the wall. Increase the height. There are piles of rubble next to the building below, also forming a circle.
I saw those people making complicated handprints with their hands, mumbling words, suddenly reaching out to grab the pile of gravel, and a large pile of gravel was attracted and floated in front of them. Then they opened and closed their hands, sometimes clenching and sometimes loosening. Opening and following their movements, the gravel was no longer solid and turned into something soft like dough.
Slowly, these gravel doughs come together to form a regular-shaped stone slab, and then the stone slab floats towards the building and is firmly fastened to the gap in the wall.
Wow, that's amazing. How was this done? Zheng Qiu immediately went to pull the young man's robe and asked him.
The young man was already accustomed to such scenes. He told Zheng Qiu that the Qianyun Sect also used wood, bricks and tiles to build halls and buildings in the early days of its founding. But more than 600 years ago, that is, a hundred years after the invention of the Tianzhou, The Qianyun Sect collected a book that recorded a unique skill called Shi Tinghua's Twenty-Eight Techniques.
This technique is quite difficult to learn, and it is slow to perform and has no offensive power. At first, the sect was not optimistic about it. Later, an elder found out how to use it and used Shi Tinghuo's twenty-eight techniques to build a house.
Not to mention, this technique is really good for building a house. It can blend stones together and knead them into any shape, and the kneaded stones are stronger.
However, Shi Tinghuo's twenty-eight methods still have a shortcoming that cannot be circumvented. That is, only people with earth and stone roots can learn this exercise. Others can only learn the first three methods.
Up to now, all the buildings of Qianyun Sect, except Wentian Pavilion, have been replaced by stones.
Zheng Qiu nodded to show that he understood, and soon he thought of a new question: "I saw that the square where Tianzhou is parked and the houses there are covered with a layer of iron. Is there a technique to control iron? ?”
"Your distinguished guest has really good eyesight. The Qianyun Sect has such a technique, which is called the Eleven Curses of Iron Obedience."
"It really does exist! How come this name is so similar to that Shi Tinghua or something like that?"
"Yes, even the content of this technique is very similar to Shi Tinghuo's Twenty-Eight Techniques. The elder suspects that the two techniques were created by the same person. Unfortunately, the Tietinghuo Eleven Mantra is not complete, only the first five mantras. Therefore, it can only be used to strengthen stone surfaces. Places that are easily damaged, such as Tianzhou Square, will be reinforced with this technique."
They chatted and walked like this, and after a while, they came to a mountain peak.
This mountain peak is not that steep, low and flat, similar to Mantou Mountain. The mountain is carved into layers of terraces, and each layer has different colors and seems to be different types of plants. The top of Mantou Mountain is also the same. With a big nail stuck in it, there is a gray square building twenty feet high.
As soon as he reached the foot of the mountain, the young man stopped. He walked up to Zheng Qiu and the others and bowed with a smile: "This is Elder Mingzong's Fangcao Peak. Elder Mingzong's mood is up and down, and he invites a few distinguished guests. Wait here."
Then he stretched out his hand to Zheng Qiu: "Dear guest, please lend me the cloud talisman temporarily so that I can explain the situation to Elder Mingzong and ask him to come out to see you."
Zheng Qiu took out the cloud talisman and handed it over. The young man took it and said, "Wait a moment, everyone, I'll be back soon."
As the words fell, a light red brilliance suddenly erupted from the young man's body. Peng, a ball of air exploded under his feet, and the stone bricks rattled due to the diffuse air flow. Immediately afterwards, the young man's body rose into the air, carrying a long The stream of light streaks towards the tall buildings at the top of Fangcao Peak.
Zheng Qiu and the other two looked at each other in confusion. The young man had accompanied them on so many walks, but in fact they could fly.
