I fiddled with the sword in my hand again, and found that what I haven't practiced with is that I haven't practiced before. My wrist can't bear the swing of the sword, and the angle I'm not used to playing can easily injure my muscles and bones. I put the long sword back into its sheath, and moved my wrist, thinking about how to stretch the muscles.
After practicing some bone-pulling, your body's bones are still tender, so it's not too late to practice now.
He put his hands behind his hands and walked slowly in the courtyard to check. He also took the cultivation matters to his mind. He must have the ability to protect himself. Otherwise, he would be easily threatened by others. It would be uncomfortable to be a coward. The so-called man can bend and stretch.
, you can’t just keep bending the song, right?
He found a suitable room and settled down for the time being. Since he had nothing to do, he sat cross-legged and meditated, silently practicing the previous practice "Tai Yi". He had already thoroughly understood this practice and practiced it with ease. He worked tirelessly to come here
The Shangqing Sect wanted to practice more advanced skills because they saw Dong Guo Haoran's abilities. However, it seems that it is not easy to succeed at the moment. They can only practice their own skills for the time being to try to protect themselves.
As for the origin of the "Tai Yi" he practiced, this technique was discovered in an ancient tomb during his underground archeology. The remains of the owner of the tomb sat cross-legged and held a jade box, which contained several pages of gold books recording records.
It was precisely the "Tai Yi" practice method. Later, I studied it hard, read and researched many ancient books to find out the solution, and then I achieved the subsequent achievements and achieved the name of "Tao Master" in the world.
But he was not satisfied. The reason was very simple. The content of those few pages of the golden book was limited. It only recorded one Qi training technique and one sword technique. According to the mysterious and mysterious general outline explained in the preface, the result after the training should be able to fly into the sky.
It is refreshing to think about being able to escape from the ground and do anything. However, the Qi training and swordsmanship in this article are far from reaching that level. They feel to him that they are just introductory things. He believes that what he is practicing is not the complete "Taiyi".
". So after that, he continued to search for clues to the complete "Tai Yi". Otherwise, he would not have been killed in the ancient tomb. And after seeing Dong Guo Haoran's strength, it can be imagined that he was deeply touched, and he left resolutely.
to that mountain village.
The days passed, and although three meals a day were delivered on time, it felt like being imprisoned. There were people guarding him outside, and he was never allowed to step out of the door. No one said anything to him, as if he was isolated from the world.
Already.
He repeatedly asked to see Tang Mu, but it was useless. He felt a little abnormal about this. Listening to the meaning of Dong Guo Haoran's words, he trusted Tang Mu so much, and he was Tang Mu's junior brother. Logically speaking, Dong Guo Haoran died, and Tang Mu could not miss him.
, he realized that there might be some changes that he didn't know about, which was probably the reason why the guards were unfriendly to him. But he had no chance to contact the outside world, and he couldn't do anything here. He could only waste time and wait.
!
With this free time, he did not waste time. In addition to practicing Taiyi, he also began to exercise, doing splits, handstands, weight-bearing, etc., and stretched his muscles. It was a little late at this age, and he suffered a lot. However, with this intention,
What kind of suffering can’t be endured?
Furthermore, he was playing with the bronze mirror. This bronze mirror had been found by Song Yanqing during a body search. However, Song Yanqing obviously did not take the bronze mirror seriously. Instead, he was quite interested in the nameplate given to the female general for archery and asked about it.
After learning about the origin of the nameplate, the disdainful bronze mirror was thrown back to him, and the nameplate was taken away.
But Niu Youdao felt that this bronze mirror was certainly not simple. First of all, it felt very similar to the bronze mirror he saw in the ancient tomb. Secondly, Dong Guo Haoran said that his fate was thrown on this bronze mirror, and told him
I can only give it to Tang Mu. How can this bronze mirror be so simple? It is probably because Song Yanqing is ignorant and does not know the goods.
But he fiddled with the bronze mirror and used it to study whenever he had time, but he didn't come up with anything...
The main hall of the Shangqing Sect is called Shangqing Palace. A group of three people went straight to the main hall and met Luo Yuangong, Su Po and Tang Susu.
Now that the head of the Shangqing Sect is vacant, three people are temporarily in charge of the head and token directors.
After the three people who were waiting to pay their respects bowed, Luo Yuangong asked: "How is the investigation going?"
The leading disciple reported: "The people in Xiaomiao Village have confirmed that Niu Youdao is not wrong. Niu Youdao has been away from Xiaomiao Village for some time. Niu Youdao encountered a military disaster in Xiaomiao Village on the second day.
He disappeared, and the time matched up. The people in Xiaomiao Village were also looking for him. They thought he had been harmed by wild beasts. Niu Youdao's painting was recognized by the people in Xiaomiao Village at a glance. The other thing was that
A nameplate, Junior Brother Wu went to Quang Ngai County to find the owner of the nameplate and confirmed that it was indeed true."
Tang Susu said with a sullen face: "Niu Youdao's conversation is not like that of a mountain boy."
The disciple replied: "I have also checked this point. In my early years, a down-and-out scholar once lived in Xiaomiao Village. Niu Youdao's family was killed in the war. He lived alone. There was an empty room in the house. The down-and-out scholar once lived in Niu Youdao.
Youdao lived in Youdao's family and taught Niu Youdao how to read and write. Niu Youdao was one of the few people in the village who could read. As for Niu Youdao's knowledge, the villagers couldn't tell the difference. And where did the scholar go after he left?
I don’t know, and it’s difficult to find someone to verify it now.”
Luo Yuangong asked: "Are the people in Xiaomiao Village cheating?"
The disciple replied: "I first checked the people in Xiaomiao Village and confirmed that they are all real villagers of Xiaomiao Village. This is correct."
"So, there shouldn't be any problem with Niu Youdao's identity." Luo Yuangong looked back at Su Po and Tang Susu and said.
Tang Susu said calmly: "What if someone finds a similar person to pretend to be Niu Youdao? It's better to let the villagers identify him face to face."
So a few days later, Niu Youdao finally left the Peach Blossom Spring, not knowing where he was going. He only knew that he was taken to the nearest city. He was also curious about the customs and customs in the city, but he came back after walking around in the city.
I haven't done anything, and I don't understand what it means.
After returning, he was imprisoned in the courtyard again.
The three elders of the Shangqing Sect seemed to be busy, constantly summoning the inner disciples of the Shangqing Sect to talk behind closed doors.
A full month later, Niu Youdao was taken out of the Peach Blossom Spring and came to the Shangqing Palace on the opposite cliff.
Several large copper furnaces heated up the tall and empty hall. All the inner disciples in the sect were present, and many of them looked solemn.
Niu Youdao stood in the center of the hall, looking left and right, and saw a group of people staring at him. He was a little confused and didn't know what they meant.
He finally said bravely, "Master ordered me to pay homage to the master before he died!"
Luo Yuangong, who was standing in the middle, sighed and said: "You are too late, the leader Tang Mu has passed away!"
"Ah!" Niu Youdao lost his voice and was stunned. What happened? He finally understood why Tang Mu hadn't seen him. It turned out that he died.
Luo Yuangong said slowly: "Since Dong Guo Haoran has accepted you as a disciple, recruiting you today is the Shangqing Sect's official recognition of your identity. In addition, there is one more thing I need to ask you. If you are allowed to be the head of the Shangqing Sect,
Are you willing?"
"What?" The first one sounded quite happy, finally recognizing himself, but then Niu Youdao was startled when he heard the second one. He thought he heard wrongly, looked at the serious eyes around him, pointed at his nose and asked:
"Let me be the leader?"
Luo Yuangong nodded, indicating that he heard correctly.
Niu Youdao's first reaction was that there was fraud in it. Based on his previous attitude towards himself, there was no intention of letting him be the leader. Even if it was true, it would definitely not be a good thing. With such a good thing, he would not get it, so he waved his hands.
Said: "It's not right, it's not right, my disciples are not talented enough and have little virtue, so I can't be a good disciple!"
As soon as these words came out, Tang Susu's tense expression softened a lot.
Luo Yuangong asked again: "Are you sure you don't want to be the leader?"
Niu Youdao continued to wave his hand and refused: "Disciple doesn't even know what the headmaster is. If you really can't be a leader, please find another talented person."
Luo Yuangong looked around the crowd and asked loudly: "Have you all heard it?"
All the disciples responded in unison: "I heard it."
What's going on? Niu Youdao looked left and right, slightly suspicious of the movement.
Tang Yi in the crowd didn't say a word, but slowly lowered his head, as if he didn't dare to look at Niu Youdao's eyes.
Luo Yuangong raised his hand to him and said, "In that case, you can go back first."
Song Yanqing walked up to Niu Youdao, and this time he smiled and extended his hand to Niu Youdao: "Junior brother, thank you for your hard work, please come back!"
Niu Youdao turned around three times with each step, still suspicious, wondering what these guys were up to, and followed Song Yanqing away.
And along the way, I don’t know what kind of fun Song Yanqing was having. From time to time, he patted Niu Youdao’s shoulder and seemed very affectionate, almost holding hands. When he arrived outside the courtyard of Taohuayuan on the mountain, he even greeted Chen Gui, who was taking turns to guard him.
Shuodao: "From now on, we are all fellow disciples. Don't keep the door closed all the time. If nothing happens, let Junior Brother Niu come out for some air. By the way, I will add two good dishes and a jar of good wine to Junior Brother Niu later."
"Yes!" Chen Guishuo agreed with a smile.
Niu Youdao was also happy. He thought that just like Luo Yuangong said, his identity as a disciple of the Shangqing Sect was officially recognized. He also said happily: "I have been coming to the Shangqing Sect for so long and I still haven't seen the way carefully.
, I just wanted to go down the mountain and walk around to see and appreciate the grandeur of our Shangqing Sect." He turned around and left, thinking he was free.
Song Yanqing's face froze, and she quickly reached out to stop him, pointed to the cliff outside the yard, and said with a smile: "Junior brother, just let the air out at the door, and don't run around at the bottom of the mountain. You have just entered the door, you are not running around yet.
when."
"..." Niu Youdao was speechless. He slowly looked back at the small area outside the yard and found that he really wanted to come out for some air.
In the Shangqing Palace, a group of inner disciples came out one after another. Some seemed happy, while others seemed relatively silent.
After a group of disciples had left, Tang Susu in the hall spread her hands and said with a smile: "Why, he gave up his position as the leader himself."
Luo Yuangong and Su Po looked at each other and sighed. It was indeed outrageous to let Niu Youdao become the head of the Shangqing Sect, but it seemed a bit despicable to adopt such a method. As long as he was not a fool, he would probably not agree to this question. If he really wanted to ask,
, if you have the ability, try letting Niu Youdao know the truth.
Su Po: "He is just suspected to be the leader now. Maybe there are other disciples surviving in Dongguo."
Tang Susu said firmly: "Okay! Then wait for another three months. If there is no news, do as I say."
Su Po shook his head: "What we do is losing sight."
Tang Susu said in a deep voice: "We are also doing it for the good of the Shangqing Sect, otherwise the other disciples would not agree. Isn't it a joke to let a ignorant boy be the leader? Besides, I have never treated him badly. Tang Yi's
Who dares to claim the first place in Ziyun County because of her beauty? In the end, it is easier for him, so that he can be accountable both internally and externally!"
Luo Yuangong frowned and said, "Can Tang Yi agree after knowing this?"
Tang Susu solemnly said: "As a disciple of the Shangqing Sect and the daughter of the head of the sect, how can I not stand up and take on the heavy responsibilities at this critical moment? I am not only the elder of the Shangqing Sect, but also her aunt. Her parents are no longer here.
Naturally, I, the elder, make the final decision."
