Chapter 7 Apprenticeship
When he arrived at Qingxuan Realm, he didn't know whether it was true or self-suggested. Li Haoran felt that his breathing was getting more relaxed. Maybe it was because the spiritual energy of heaven and earth was more abundant. And gradually more and more monks were flying in the sky, and ordinary people in the town were not surprised to see these ups and downs.
Flying eastward, more than ten days later, Chu Jin told Li Haoran that it was still half a day before. Li Haoran was shocked. Indeed, after such a long flight, the first freshness had faded, and he felt a little tired. After half a day, a continuous green mountain range appeared at the end of Li Haoran's gaze. Some peaks in the mountains rose up and went straight up to the sky without seeing the peak. So far, it made people feel that the walls were steep and unattainable.
There was a golden light flashing behind the mountains, setting off the mountain peaks like a dream and showing an amazing beautiful scenery. Li Haoran was dazzled and felt that only the greatness of the world and the wonders of nature could form such a scenery.
Chu Jin in front felt his emotions and turned his head and smiled slightly, as if he remembered the scene when he had just come here.
As he moved forward, Chu Jin suddenly pointed below and said, "Haoran, look there." Li Haoran looked at the place he pointed at, but there was a narrow lake in front of the mountain range in the distance, and there was no strangeness in the shimmering waves in the lake.
Li Haoran looked at Chu Jin in confusion and said, "Senior Brother Chu, what are you looking at?" Chu Jin pointed at the lake with some enthusiasm and said, "Do you know how this lake was formed?"
"Huh?" Li Haoran changed his mind. Senior Brother Chu asked this question. The lake must not be formed naturally. A possibility emerged in Li Haoran's mind, but he felt that this idea was a bit ridiculous and could only answer: "I don't know."
Chu Jin said a little yearning: "More than 4,000 years ago, our sect was not stable. Some sects that had a friendship with our sect joined forces with overseas monks to seize the blessed land of Canglan Mountain. At that time, the people in the Canglan Sect were few, and the enemy troops were divided into several groups, which made the ancestors exhausted to deal with it. At that time, the ancestor Haoyue Sword of Qingyue Sect came to help with the Qingyue Sword, and one person and one sword before Canglan Mountain made the enemy attack stop here, and it was difficult to advance in an inch. This lake was slashed out with great magic power with the Qingyue Sword. According to ancient books in the sect, one sword would slash out from the sky and the earth to crack, and the sword light soared into the sky. The clouds were scattered, the earth was cut, and the sword energy was scattered for hundreds of miles. The cracks underground penetrated thousands of meters underground, and the sword intent on the rocks was scattered for hundreds of years before it dissipated."
Although Li Haoran had just thought of this possibility, he was still deeply shocked by Chu Jin when he told me that it was really like this. He looked very different from a distance, but now he flew closer to see this lake that was several thousand meters long and nearly a hundred meters wide. When he thought about it, he couldn't help but feel excited and yearning for it!
Is this the method of immortal cultivators?
Can you have the ability to reach the sky and the earth with just one's own strength?
Li Haoran had a broad mind and wanted to whistle for a long time. This was the power he was pursuing.
Chu Jin said, "This kind of character, such a charm is really desirable!" Li Haoran nodded with a red face. Chu Jin exhaled slightly and said softly: "The road to immortality is long and difficult. Perhaps with these many immortal techniques, people don't feel so boring."
Li Haoran was puzzled when he heard Chu Jin's words, but he didn't ask. He was now more eager to become an immortal cultivator, so he became even more nervous. I wonder if he could join Canglan Sect.
When Chu Jin saw Li Haoran's nervous appearance, he couldn't guess what he thought, but he knew that he had insufficient cultivation and could not decide to accept disciples in the sect. After getting along for so long, he saw that Li Haoran was very passionate and yearning for the path of cultivating immortals. If he failed to join Canglan this time, he would probably be very disappointed.
If Li Haoran fails to get permission from the leader to enter the school, he will ask his master to keep him. See if there is any opportunity that belongs to him.
Chu Jin made up his mind secretly, but did not tell Li Haoran that everything was unknown now.
Having an idea in his heart, Chu Jin, who was optimistic and cheerful, no longer thought about those troublesome things. Seeing Li Haoran's frowning look, he said with pleasure: "It's coming soon, there will be a better scene later."
Li Haoran looked at him and said, "You should ask me quickly. I wouldn't tell you even if I asked you, so I knew that I wouldn't say anything. But Li Haoran still asked to satisfy his senior brother's wishes: "There is a better scene! Where is it?" Chu Jin smiled proudly and said, "You will know later."
Flying forward slowly, the mountains gradually enlarge in their eyes, making people feel like they are looking up to the mountains. The mountains are full of green, but the fog is filled with can't see the scene clearly. Through the gaps between the mountains, you can see the endless sea behind the mountains. Li Haoran looked at the sea like a mirror emitting golden light under the sunset and thought in his heart that this was the origin of the name Linhaijing.
The three people stopped in front of Canglan Mountain. Mu Lingran flipped his right hand and a green jade talisman with water patterns appeared in his hand. Mu Lingran pinched a magic trick to hit the jade talisman forward. The jade talisman flew forward for a distance and disappeared into the air. Li Haoran was wonderingly seeing a wave of ripples flashing in the air ahead, and two young men in white-clothed with green water patterns embroidered on their sleeves appeared in front of the three of them out of thin air.
Chu Jin whispered to Li Haoran: "In order to prevent outsiders from exploring, our mountain protection array has a trick. You can only see fog everywhere outside. If you want to enter, you must have the jade talisman of our sect and the mountain protection disciples who can open the door. Li Haoran seemed to understand it, but he felt that he was about to push open a door to a new world. This world is so wonderful and wonderful!
The two mountain guard disciples came out and saw three people saluting with one hand and said, "It turns out that Senior Brother Mu and Senior Brother Chu are back." Mu Lingran nodded and said, "I've been out for more than two months, and everything in the door is fine?" One of them replied, "Everything is as normal." Then he made a gesture and said, "Please." Mu Lingran nodded and flew away first, and Chu Jin also took Li Haoran to follow.
Li Haoran only felt a flash in front of him, and then he became stunned when he saw the scene in front of him. Chu Jin turned around and looked at him with a proud smile.
If I hadn't known from the beginning that this was Canglan Gate and that Chu Jin brought him in personally, Li Haoran would have thought he had arrived at the fairy world. It seemed that it was really a world of its own, surrounded by green mountains, clouds and mists, and the water of the mountain streams splashed, and the birds with gorgeous feathers were passing leisurely among the clouds and mists. From time to time, various lights flashed through the sky, and someone was flying in the air. Looking up at the sky, there were some mysterious pictures faintly in the sky.
The case was flowing. Surrounded by mountains, occasionally through the clouds and mist, some eaves of the houses flashed on the treetops. Li Haoran was dazzled and heard Chu Jin say, "Okay, it's coming soon." Li Haoran came back to his senses and exclaimed, "Senior Brother Chu, this is really like a fairyland!" Chu Jin smiled and said, "Yes! When I first saw it, I was drunk." The three of them came to the highest mountain in the mountains and fell up.
This is a huge square, covered with white jade as smooth as a mirror, and light clouds and mists dance on it and become ethereal and dusty. At the end of the square are hundreds of steps dozens of meters high leading to a huge blue palace above.
The palace is magnificent and solemn. Although it is far apart, you can feel a grand and solemn momentum coming towards you. Behind the blue hall is surrounded by clouds and mist, and as the clouds float, there are courtyard walls and eaves appearing in it. I don’t know how many houses are hidden in it.
There are two side halls on the left and right sides of the square below the Great Palace, and then there are rows of houses.
The three of them walked towards the palace together, and they also met some disciples in the sect on the road. From these, they all bowed to Mu Lingran first, it can be seen that Mu Lingran has great prestige in the sect. However, Mu Lingran did not hold his own identity and greeted him one by one, and then continued to walk forward. After walking through the square, climbed the stone steps and stood in front of the hall. A huge plaque was hung on the lintel of the hall, with the three big words "Canglan Palace" written on it. Standing before this huge hall, Li Haoran felt as if he was as little as an ant. He looked up at the three big words shining with golden light on the plaque, and a solemn atmosphere rose in his heart. Li Haoran unconsciously took his steps lightly.
"Senior Brother Mu is back." The two young men in white who were standing on duty in the hall gate bowed.
Mu Lingran bowed and said, "Just just returned to the mountain, do you know where the master is?" One of them said, "The head master and Uncle Su are in Tingtao Pavilion in the back mountain."
After thanking her, Mu Lingran said to Li Haoran and the others: "I will take you to see Master." Then he walked to a bluestone road on the left side of the hall.
Walking on the bluestone road, Chu Jin stepped forward and called Mu Lingran and said, "Senior Brother Mu, I won't go. I'll go back first to report my safety to Master."
Mu Lingran thought for a while and nodded, "Okay, you have worked hard during this period, go back and have a good rest." Chu Jin nodded, "Yes" and said to Li Haoran, "If you join this sect, you can come to Star Peak to find me."
Li Haoran didn't know what the result was, but he bowed: "Okay, thank you for your care for me over the years."
Chu Jin patted Li Haoran on the shoulder and smiled, "It's just a small matter, come on yourself! I'll leave first." Then he bowed to Mu Lingran and turned around and walked towards the square.
Li Haoran watched Chu Jin leave with great strides, and his clothes floated like an immortal in the mountains and fog, and he couldn't help but feel envious. The tension that had just dissipated temporarily because of the scenery like a fairyland lingered in his heart again.
Watching Chu Jin slowly walk down the stairs, Li Haoran turned his head and saw Mu Lingran standing behind him. Li Haoran felt rude and apologized: "I was lost for a moment and made Senior Brother Mu wait for a long time." Mu Lingran shook his head and said: "It's okay, Junior Brother Chu is enthusiastic and cheerful. You can get close to him in the future."
When Li Haoran heard this, he heard Mu Lingran seem to have concluded that he could join Canglan Sect. Although he was puzzled, he still said, "Yes, Senior Brother Mu is a square and calm person, and is also a role model for us to learn from." Mu Lingran smiled and did not answer. When he walked forward first, Li Haoran hurriedly followed.
After about a meal, a salty smell and waves came from the front. Li Haoran knew that this should be at the beach. Sure enough, after turning a corner of a mountain, what appeared in front of Li Haoran was a undulating sea. The waves kept beating the walls of Canglan Mountain for thousands of years, making loud noises. At this time, the road ahead was already a small stone step attached to the steep mountain wall, which made people feel frightened at a glance. At the end of the road was a huge rock protruding from the mountain wall, and a four-corner pavilion was built on this big stone, and the whole thing was suspended in the air.
From a distance, there were two people sitting next to the stone table in the pavilion. However, because the distance was too far and the light was darker now, Li Haoran could only tell that it was a man and a woman, but he could not see the two of them.
Mu Lingran said, "You wait here for a moment, I'll report." After that, he walked up the stone steps on the mountain wall and walked towards the pavilion as if walking on a flat ground.
Mu Lingran walked outside the pavilion and stopped, bowed and bowed to the man in the pavilion and said something. The man raised his hand and said something. After Mu Lingran saluted the woman and walked into the pavilion. Mu Lingran stood by the stone table and spoke to the two of them, then pointed at Li Haoran.
When Li Haoran saw Mu Lingran pointing at him, he hurriedly gave a gift to the pavilion. Whether his wish can be realized depends on the present. He does not want to leave a impression that he is not polite.
After a while, Mu Lingran came over and said, "Follow me, don't be nervous, tell me your experience to my master and uncle." Li Haoran took a deep breath and slowly exhaled. He nodded and walked towards the extremely dangerous stone steps, only saying that this was a test for himself. If he could not overcome this difficulty, why would he talk about joining the sect of cultivating immortals?
As soon as Li Haoran's feet were about to fall, he felt that his right hand was being grabbed. Then he floated lightly towards the front, and several rises and falls onto the flat ground outside the pavilion.
Li Haoran looked at Mu Lingran gratefully, then bowed and said, "Boy Li Haoran pays homage to the Immortal Master."
"No need to be restrained. Ling Ran said you want to join my Canglan Sect, so you can tell me about your experience now." An old man's gentle voice came, and this was the head of Canglan Sect, Zhenren Yuanhong.
Li Haoran stood up, his heartbeat couldn't help but speed up, but he also knew that this was a very important moment, his mind slightly calmed down, calmed down and told him about his experiences except Bai Yunzi.
Now is the most critical moment. If he didn't seize this opportunity to join Canglan Sect and embark on the road of cultivation, he didn't know what to do. Should he look for Ruihua Sect again? But what if he was rejected again? As a result, he didn't dare to think about it, so he didn't want to be surprised now. What if Canglan Sect doesn't like to lead art to the master?
After saying this, Li Haoran bowed and said, "I beg the Immortal Master to accept disciples and teach them the methods of practicing Taoism. Disciples must practice hard and live up to the grace of the master."
After Li Haoran finished speaking, a brief tranquility appeared in the pavilion. Li Haoran's forehead rested on his overlapping hands and waited for the result.
Li Haoran felt that time seemed to have slowed down, and the air exhaled from his mouth and nose turned back from the ground with a faint warmth. In his ears were the sound of waves gently slapping on the mountain walls, and the sound of the mountain wind blowing through his clothes. Li Haoran suddenly felt a little cold.
Yuan Hong Zhenren calmed down for a moment when he saw Li Haoran, and said his experience in an orderly manner and nodded slightly. Especially when he heard Li Haoran say that he had not given up after walking for a year in order to enter the gate of Taoism, he had some thoughts in his heart. Now he saw Li Haoran bowing to the ground and pondering for a moment, he said, "So what are you practicing Taoism now?"
Li Haoran's heart was shocked when he heard Yuan Hong's question, but when he heard Yuan Hong's question, he couldn't help but think of his parents' death, Bai Yunzi's death and Su Chi were arrested. He felt a sense of anger in his heart, straightening up and looking at the childish face in front of him, Yuan Hong, who was fairy-like, said: "The way of heaven is not prosperous, evil is rampant. I want to suppress evil, and the world is bright."
Looking at Li Haoran's serious eyes, Yuan Hong smiled and said, "It seems that you will go to the path of killing in the future, but seeing that you have such beliefs at a young age, you may really be able to contribute to my righteous path in the future." Looking at Yuan Hong's calm appearance, Li Haoran also woke up a lot and bowed: "Boy has lost his composure."
Yuanhong said disrespectfully: "Young man, how old are you this year?"
"I'm sixteen years old, and I'll be seventeen in two months."
Yuan Hong smiled and said, "Why should you be so calm at such a young age? You are the ones who are so energetic just now! We practitioners who are doing things against the will of heaven and earth, and want to use the great laws of heaven and earth for their own use. How can we see the supreme Taoist path without a fearless heart?"
Although Li Haoran seemed to understand Yuan Hong's words, he still said, "Thank you for your teachings, I will remember them in my heart." Now he calls himself a disciple, so why do he feel like he is hitting a snake and stick. Yuan Hong and the woman in white sitting next to him looked at each other and smiled. Yuan Hong said to Li Haoran, "Come here."
Li Haoran stood up and walked into the pavilion and stood in front of Yuanhong. At Yuanhong's instructions, he raised his right hand. Yuanhong reached out and grabbed Li Haoran's palm. Li Haoran felt a warm current wandering in his limbs and bones, and his body was indescribable. After a while, Yuanhong let go of Li Haoran's hand, and the warm current disappeared. Although Li Haoran did not understand Yuanhong's intention, he also felt that now was the critical moment to decide whether he could enter Canglan Sect, so he held his breath and did not dare to move around.
Yuanhong pondered for a moment and said to the woman in white next to him: "Junior sister, please accept him."
"Ah!" The woman in white was slightly surprised. Li Haoran was also stunned, and then looked at the woman carefully. The woman was wearing a white dress with only three light blue water patterns on the collar. She looked about thirty years old, but when she looked at her again, she seemed to be only twenty years old. Her long black hair, as dark as ink, was gently tied up and tied into a bunch, and hung to her waist. Her brows and eyes were light, without amazing beauty, but only a faint tenderness, which made people unable to help but feel close.
"Silly boy, why don't you pay homage to Master yet!" Yuan Hong said with a smile.
Li Haoran was shocked and immediately knelt down in front of the woman and said, "Disciple Li Haoran pays homage to Master." After that, he bowed. The woman with a simple temperament looked at Yuan Hong at a loss, not knowing that the senior brother was and his intention.
Yuanhong nodded gently to her and signaled her to accept Li Haoran. The woman sighed in her heart. Although she didn't understand why her senior brother was like this, she always respected Yuanhong and knew that he would not harm her. Moreover, she heard all the things just now and saw them. She was not so resistant to Li Haoran's acceptance of her as her teacher.
The woman in white thought about it and turned to look at Li Haoran who was kneeling in front of him and said softly: "Okay, get up. We Yunhan Peak don't have so many rules." Li Haoran said with great joy in his heart: "Thank you, thank you Master, thank you Master Master!" After that, he stood up, looked at Mu Lingran who bowed to him and said "hehe" and smiled foolishly: "Thank you, Senior Brother Mu." Mu Lingran nodded with a smile.
Chapter completed!
