Only the guest courtyard was brightly lit and there were slightly noisy voices.
Several people from a distance came quickly with lanterns, holding large and small packages of things in their hands, exuding a strong bitter smell, which were obviously various herbal pills used to heal wounds.
Wei Tao was helped to sit down and was tightly surrounded by Shang Xi, Prince Cheng, two elders Yuan Yi and others.
Even Wu Qingxuan came in a hurry later.
She was wearing a snow-white cloak, with large stains clearly visible on it.
Seeing this scene, he asked his attendants about the situation. Wu Qingxuan's eyes flashed with light and his expression was thoughtful, but the fear and anxiety in his heart disappeared without even realizing it.
When she just sensed the movement and heard that he was injured on the way, her heartbeat skipped more than a beat, and she accidentally fell down and was covered in slush.
It wasn't until this moment that my pounding heart finally stopped.
The whole person also felt as if he was exhausted, and his whole body was a little weak.
Wei Tao stared at the row of small words on the title page, and did not turn back for a long time.
It must be said that the efficiency of Shang worship is very high.
The two got along very happily, and in just a few days, they have become quite good friends.
Shang Gongfeng waved his hands repeatedly, "Whatever Wei Daozi said really makes me feel embarrassed and I don't know what to say."
Having said this, he turned to look at Wei Tao, who was accompanying him at the end of the seat, "For the Grand Competition of the Taixuan Mountain Sect, I would also like to thank Wei Daozi for helping us, and for retaining the disciples we have trained for many years."
Before you know it, the darkness fades and day comes.
Qi Taiquan personally accompanied him, and all the prominent elders and palace masters in Xuanwu Dao attended and had a sumptuous banquet.
Walk along the green and black stone road, pass by solemn and solemn palaces, then pass through quiet and elegant small bridges, flowing water, pavilions and gardens, and finally arrive in front of the main hall surrounded by four side halls.
Wei Tao slowly exhaled a breath of turbid air and said sincerely, "This is a very happy event, so I would like to congratulate my senior brother in advance."
Less than half an hour later, his son Shang Junying was sent to the palace.
This feeling cannot be explained or explained.
This Mr. Shang is also a wonderful person. Although he is not very diligent in martial arts practice and has not reached the level of visceral training in his late thirties, he is humorous and generous to his friends. He does not have any airs of a junior master.
It even makes people want to leave Xuanwu Mountain Gate immediately and go as far as possible.
The handwriting on the page is vigorous and powerful, and the strokes of the pen seem to come alive through the paper, making people clearly feel the mood and artistic conception of the writer at that time.
"Not just Junior Brother Ning, but also me."
His voice was gentle and kind, and sounded like a spring breeze, as if it was quietly washing away all the fatigue from the journey.
Elder Wan took the tea cup with both hands and said in an indignant tone, "This must be some monster who is afraid of the world being unstable and spreading rumors to cause trouble, and wants to cause disputes between the imperial court and the sect.
The Xuanwu Hall was empty, except for a few tables and chairs and an old man with clear cheekbones sitting upright behind, there was nothing and no one.
Looking again at the room whose main color was dark black, Wei Tao felt a strange feeling quietly arise in his heart.
All kinds of performances also left Monk Shang Junying Zhang Er scratching his head. He couldn't figure it out even after thinking about it. He spent a lot of time with his smiling face and spent a lot of money. What on earth had provoked the always mild-tempered Princess Qingxuan?
.
He frowned, thought for a long time, and finally made up his mind, "During the Northern Wilderness War forty years ago, I received a favor from Yu Daozi, but I have never been able to repay him. However, I accidentally injured Daozi out of curiosity. I feel really guilty and uneasy.
After a day and a night, we finally stopped in front of a mountain that was not steep, but thick and majestic.
And judging from the color and appearance, it is definitely the best among the best. Whether it is used for retreat practice or to replenish and heal injuries at critical moments, it has powerful effects beyond ordinary people's imagination.
Time passed little by little.
Fortunately, Daozi ignored the previous grudges and gave me face again, allowing me to give away this belated gift."
Time flies by.
If Daozi is interested, I can teach you this art of observing gods and qi, which can help Daozi examine himself, and if there are problems, he can detect them early and deal with them in the bud."
Even if you take a step back and think about it, even if Shang Lao Zongfeng really uses all his strength, he will not hold back.
He stopped and thought for a moment, carefully organizing his words, "It feels to me like there are vague signs of chaos and division, and I don't know the specific reasons.
In the afternoon, Elder Wan and Elder Chong each contacted old friends and reminisced about old times, leaving Wei Tao to rest alone in the room.
Wei Tao got off the last carriage and immediately saw two acquaintances standing at the front.
It wasn't until the tea in the cup became cold that Wei Tao slowly gathered his thoughts and continued to turn the page of notes.
Wei Tao picked up the cold tea and drank it in one gulp. Just as he was about to continue reading to understand, he slowly raised his head and looked in the direction of the door.
Wei Tao quietly looked at Xuanwu Daozi in front of him, sighing with emotion, "In just a short period of time after the Taixuan Mountain Competition, Senior Brother Pang not only recovered his energy and spirit, but also made significant progress in his cultivation. It is really gratifying.
."
Annotations on the key points of practice in the four chapters of Xuanwu Zhenjie, Turtle Snake, Rengui, Qisu, and Mingfei - Qi Taiquan.
Facing that seemingly penetrating gaze, Wei Tao's heart suddenly tightened, and he immediately stood up and saluted, "The Taoist master said seriously, the seven sects of the sect are one body, and they are all brothers and sisters, and it is natural to help each other."
For the next period of time, the two of them sat and stood, talking in detail and listening in silence. From time to time, they would have in-depth exchanges on certain detailed issues, and even engage in fierce arguments that refused to give in to each other.
Pang Que's eyes were burning, but his expression was pure and clear, "Without Junior Brother Wei's care, Senior Brother would have become a withered skeleton in the grave. This great kindness and kindness will never be forgotten by Pang Que."
With a smile on his face, Liu Rongsheng hurried forward to greet him.
After closing the wooden box containing the Xuanwu Pill and putting it away, he opened another tightly sealed animal skin bag.
Shang Gongfeng thought for a long time and spoke slowly, "Daozi's Qi and blood are majestic and powerful. Even compared to the martial arts master, there is not much difference. The foundation laid in the early stage is solid and solid, which actually makes me envious.
Shang Gongfeng picked up the already cold teapot, drank the remaining tea in one gulp, looked up at the rising sun, and slowly stood up.
He was slightly startled again, with waves in his heart.
After shrinking on the recliner for a moment, Wei Tao coughed lightly and said slowly, "I feel much better, and I would like to thank Senior Shang for his mercy."
Moreover, Daozi's moves are eclectic, hard and soft, and flexible, which shows that he has a very high understanding of martial arts practice and his natural talents are also excellent."
The real focus lies in the content of the volume.
Such an idea flashed through Wei Tao's mind, but he was immediately denied by himself.
But that's not the point.
"This is an idea that I have never considered before. It is really refreshing and eye-opening."
A tough volume was taken out from it.
Yu Daozi?
Could it be Grandma Yu sitting in the mountain gate library?
The fifth day after entering Beijing.
Soon it was noon.
Could it be that before he came to the Xuanwu Dao Mountain Gate, the Xuanwu Dao Master knew something secret?
"I still remember that the last time I saw Junior Brother Ning was at a ceremony many years ago. Many years have passed by, but when I think about it, it seems like it was just yesterday."
"When Liu Chengyi explained it at the beginning, he only said that the four chapters of the Xuanwu Zhenjie were advanced layer by layer, from the shallower to the deeper. But if the order was reversed and exchanged, it would also have profound mysteries.
I took the liberty to look at it with the Qi-gazing technique before, and found that Daozi possesses the qualifications of a master. There is no doubt about this, but there seems to be a hidden contradiction and conflict at the spiritual level involving Xuangan."
Wei Tao paused for a moment when he said this, with an expression of expectation on his face, "With the perspective and knowledge of seniors, I can definitely see that there is room for improvement in my subsequent practice. I hope seniors will not hesitate to tell you."
From the Turtle and Snake chapter to the Qisu chapter, they were all obtained from Pang Que. The Ming female chapter was explained by Liu Chengshen. It is said that neither of them could leak this secret.
In addition, Daozi came to the capital for the first time, and there are two worlds. Later, I will send my useless son at home to be a guide. Wherever Daozi wants to go these days, I don't have to worry about anything. I just need to let him arrange it.
"
Wei Tao sat and listened quietly, and he learned many secrets that he had never heard before, and it was not necessarily boring.
"If Elder Liu says this again, he will make the younger generation feel ashamed and shameless to come to Xuanwu Mountain Gate."
Shang Gongfeng sat down, took a sip of the tea that had not yet cooled down, and said, "Although the Qi Watching Technique was passed down by Emperor Wu, it is not a true martial arts secret method of killing, but a tonic and auxiliary method.
The tortoise is strong, the snake is soft, and the combination of hardness and softness makes the male and female...
He was also a little surprised that this old gentleman would be so particular, and that a practice method that sounded quite extraordinary would be passed on from word to word.
Wei Tao carefully recalled the meeting in Xuanwu Hall.
If they pour this basin of dirty water, not only Xuanwu Dao, but also other sects will be implicated."
Wei Tao was strictly ordered by Elder Wan not to move around. In addition to his blanket, he was also covered with a large cloak.
"Spiritual practice?" Wei Tao asked.
"Qinglin Mountain Guard Tao pays homage to Master Qi."
Qi Taiquan put down his paper and pen, slowly stood up from the table, with a peaceful smile on his face, "You three don't have to be polite, we are all members of the sect, and when you come here, you should feel like you are back at home, without any restrictions or restraints.
"
After taking a few breaths, Qi Taiquan lowered his eyes and said slowly, "Seeing Wei Daozi today is like meeting his own nephew. He is even a good young man who is better than several Taoists in our sect. He really lives up to his sect's status."
The name of a Taoist scholar.
"Senior Shang has a high level of cultivation, and it is really a blessing for the younger generation to receive personal guidance."
In the small town at the foot of the mountain, there was already a group of people waiting at the crossing.
"Wei Daozi's mentor is Yu Daozi."
Shang Gongfeng slightly nodded his head, "Daozi has entered the Mysterious Realm at a young age. This is a good thing. It shows that he has great potential, and it is expected that he will become a martial arts master. However, there are also hidden dangers, which Daozi needs to pay careful attention to."
Then after just one glance, he suddenly narrowed his eyes and his pupils suddenly shrank.
One of the boxes was fragrant and contained twelve golden pills.
Shang Gongfeng was slightly startled, and after a long time he came back to his senses, "Time is like water, reincarnations of the old and the new, looking at you at this moment, and recalling the magnificent Yu Daozi forty years ago, I can't help but feel emotional and sigh inexplicably,
"
Wei Tao held his breath and concentrated, concentrating his energy. He felt a lot of pressure inexplicably, coming from his eyes that were like a deep pool.
Elder Wan said, "I, Taoist Master Ning, have said many times that when I have time, I must sit down with Taoist Master Qi to discuss Taoism and drink tea. However, there are many affairs in Shanmen, and I have to stay in Qizhou to prevent the Northern Wilderness. Duande
I never have time to spare."
Know the male and guard the female, know the white and guard the black, the basalt turtle and the snake, the cricket and the qiu support each other.
After a little time to adapt to the changes in light and darkness inside and outside, Elder Wan saw the old man's face clearly. He immediately straightened his clothes and bowed deeply, "Wanxinquan in Qinglin Mountain, pay homage to Master Qi."
He was thinking about why Taoist Master Xuanwu gave the annotations written by his own hand as a meeting gift.
Even to the point that it made him a little embarrassed.
In this case, the meeting gift that I originally prepared is somewhat difficult to come by, which makes me a little sad."
Wei Tao thought for a moment and knew that this was the Xuanwu Pill unique to Xuanwu Dao.
Although Wei Tao wanted to stay in the palace and study the newly acquired Sun and Moon Scriptures and the art of gazing, he could not ignore Shang Chongfeng's overtures, so he simply let go and under the leadership of Shang Junying and Wu Qingxuan
Next, we will eat, drink and visit various places in the capital.
So, just by observing carefully for a moment, Master Xuanwu knew that he had practiced Xuanwu True Solution?
Thinking of this, Wei Tao's heart suddenly moved.
Based on his performance when he single-handedly faced off against the evil master Wei Jueyan and even killed the opponent directly, it is still unknown who will win and who will lose, who will live and who will die in the end.
However, in the eyes of Xuanwu Dao Master, there is no saying from shallow to deep, and then from deep to shallow. Instead, the entire Xuanwu True Understanding is seen as a whole, even from a higher level, with the eyes of an outsider.
Come and take a look."
Since Qi Taiquan can see the foundation of his Xuanwu practice, are the mysterious threads in his body also exposed?
Liu Rongyi laughed and said, "My Taoist Master Qi is waiting at Xuanwu Hall. Please come up the mountain with me."
He first exchanged a few words with Elder Wan Zhang and Elder Chong, then took out a tightly sealed brocade box from his arms and handed it to Wei Tao himself.
Unexpectedly, she had shown kindness to the Royal Grand Master back then, and she had never forgotten it for decades.
Liu Rongsheng stopped at this moment and said, "The Taoist master is waiting in the Xuanwu Hall. Two junior brothers, Wei Daozi, please come in."
Soon after, he drank three bowls of medicinal soup and pills for promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis, but his mouth was filled with a bitter taste that could not be resolved.
Although I don't know why Shang Zongfeng came to join forces with Wei Daozi, it is unlikely that there will be murderous intentions, let alone a reckless life-and-death confrontation.
Liu Rong exclaimed, "Blessings come from disasters, misfortunes come from blessings. Our sect Pang Daozi experienced the accident in Taixuan Mountain. Although he was confused for a while, his mind has been as clear as a child since then, and it is difficult to be disturbed by random thoughts.
The mind is moved by foreign objects.
Of course, Wei Daozi doesn't need to worry about this. First of all, this is just my family's opinion, and I don't dare to say that it can be done accurately;
Secondly, when warriors enter the realm of mystical consciousness, everyone will experience the torment of delusions. It is also common for various changes in spiritual will to occur. As long as the heart is as clear and gentle as a child, and the mind is as persevering as steel, you should be able to stick to your original intention and see your heart clearly.
Xing, Lingtai Qingming."
In the next period of time, Elder Wan mainly spoke to discuss some sect affairs with Master Xuanwu.
Wei Tao put away the brocade box and felt the fluctuations quietly appearing on the status bar, with a rich smile on his face.
After calming down, Wu Qingxuan suddenly realized that there seemed to be something fishy about this matter.
Unknowingly, he thought of Supreme Feng Zhen of Xuanwu Dao, Sun Xiyue who rebelled against the family, and Gui Shufang who first served in the imperial court and later entered Qinglian.
Taking a step back and thinking about it, even if one of the two people leaked the secret, the performance of Taoist Master Xuanwu today is somewhat unexplainable.
Only then did he have the opportunity to open the two greeting gifts he received in Xuanwu Hall.
The cover is blank, without any patterns or writing.
Qi Taiquan smiled slightly and said, "The turbid will become turbid, and the pure will become clear. I will just sit still in the Xuanwu Hall and wait and see who will hide behind the scenes and cause trouble in the end."
"Wei Daozi's words deeply touched my heart."
Then he stared at him for a long time, then Fang got up and went to the back hall and brought the annotations of the exercises written by himself.
I was in seclusion at that time, so I had no choice but to go out of seclusion and enter the palace to meet the current Holy One and state the truth. After all the trouble, I couldn't even sleep well."
Wei Tao's heart moved, and he could hardly suppress his sudden joy.
Shang Fengfeng has always had a good relationship with his family, and he is considered an old friend of Qinglin Mountain. Generally speaking, they are on the same page, and it is impossible for them to fight for no reason.
Pang Que's eyes were full of intimacy and admiration, and he bowed at this moment, "Pang Que has met Junior Brother Wei."
Qi Taiquan tilted his head slightly, but his eyes were slightly focused, and he never left Wei Tao's side.
Wei Tao was confused and subconsciously opened the volume.
Several carriages set off from Prince Cheng's Mansion and headed east after leaving the city.
Only Wu Qingxuan, for some unknown reason, always disliked Shang Junying, and from time to time would lose his temper without warning and cause some awkward situations.
When it came to the transmission of secret techniques, except for Wei Tao and Shang Zongfang, everyone else immediately and quietly retreated, and the whole courtyard suddenly became quiet and quiet.
Therefore, it is not listed in Class A in the Grand Inner Secret Treasury, but in Class B, as a royal servant, as long as I don't live in the world, it is not too much of a violation of the rules to just use it to teach my own children.
"
"Qinglin Mountain worships Mi and pays homage to Master Qi."
Even Taoist Master Qi once said that after further precipitation, Pang Daozi will definitely take another step forward, heaven and man will be reincarnated, yin and yang will harmonize, and he will be a martial arts master."
"So after much thought, I realized that the only thing that Taoists need to pay attention to may be spiritual practice."
But it lingered in my chest and could not go away for a long time.
"As an elder, I only had a pleasant conversation with Daozi last time, but I forgot to prepare a meeting gift. I regretted it every time I thought about it.
Having said this, he got up from his chair and went to the depths of the hall to get something. He put it together with the gift box he had prepared earlier and gave it out as a meeting gift.
Qi Taiquan asked the three of them to sit down and poured tea in his hand. "Not to mention the distant past, our sect has been in a whirlpool inexplicably in the past few days. Not only is the whereabouts of the master of Xuyin Hall unknown, but we have to close our doors and wait for the situation.
calm.
Wei Tao stood up and opened the door.
If I had known earlier, I would have asked him to punch him one more time and find a way to spit out a mouthful of blood. Maybe I could have gotten clues to Emperor Wu's Shocking Book.
Behind him, Elder Chong and Wei Tao clasped their fists and bowed in salute at the same time.
The group of people walked and chatted, and soon passed through the majestic main gate of Xuanwu Dao and truly entered the core area of the first sect of the sect.
Speaking of this, Shang Chongfeng seemed to be a little hesitant.
Without waiting for Wei Tao's reply, he walked straight outside and stopped at the gate of the courtyard. "If anything happens to Daozi in the future, you can come to me directly. As long as I can help, I will definitely not refuse."
.
"In my eyes, I am like the crescent moon that has just set, and Daozi is the rising sun that has broken out at dawn, and is about to shine with its own dazzling light."
Dangdangdang made several soft sounds.
It was certain that Master Xuanwu looked at him in a way that didn't care at first, but then suddenly became a little different.
Wei Tao straightened his clothes and performed the half-teacher's salute respectfully, "Senior, don't worry, my junior's teacher is Grandma Yu, so she knows the importance."
The clear-cheeked figure of Xuanwu Taoist Master stood quietly outside the door, but only took a deep look inside. Before he could bow and salute, he silently turned around and left.
Wei Tao slowly exhaled a breath of turbid air, and the expression of Taoist Master Xuanwu and the inexplicable look reflected by those deep pool-like eyes kept appearing in his mind.
He stood outside the door, seemingly wanting to say something more, but in the end he turned around and left without saying a word.
Until Elder Wan and Elder Chong returned to the guest room, then said goodbye and left the Xuanwu Dao Mountain Gate, Wei Tao didn't even think about what was behind the thought behind the Xuanwu Dao Master's four annotations on Xuanwu True Interpretation, and then came quietly and left silently.
