The First Sword of the Earth

Cultivating the Tao is first and foremost something that makes people feel very comfortable.

The body and mind are immersed in the mysterious Taoist realm, and the mind sometimes travels by the wind, and sometimes wanders between the heaven and the earth. Often hours pass by without paying attention, and months pass by in the blink of an eye, and I am content with myself, without the slightest trace. Perception of time passing.

After going up the mountain for three years, Wang Sheng suddenly felt that he was still the same person who just came here yesterday, ignorant and in a turbulent mood.

At this time, he lost his youthful look, and his face became a little more angular. Although his appearance didn't change much, his body grew completely, and he caught up with his master Qing Yanzi in size.

And another aspect to catch up with Master is the length of hair...

Now, his restless mood due to rebirth has calmed down a lot.

With the spirit in the mountains, Wang Sheng was a little more refreshed and less secular than when he was twenty years old in his previous life, and his temperament seemed to have become much more elegant.

In the afternoon of this day, at the cornice of the main house in the small courtyard, a square wooden board was balanced on the cornice, and Wang Sheng sat cross-legged on the wooden board, his body motionless, and he seemed to have no effort at all.

Wisps of true energy hovered around him, like a naughty child, constantly hooking up with the vitality of heaven and earth flowing in the mountains, and constantly drawing out wisps of vitality of heaven and earth to wash himself.

In the late stage of Gathering the Spirit, the spirit has matured quite a bit, and many changes have taken place in the true essence.

"What time is it?"

Wang Sheng slowly opened his eyes, and saw the figure of the senior sister sitting quietly under the tree in the forest outside the courtyard, his eyes were slightly lost in thought.

Two figures came slowly from the mountain road, Wang Sheng heard something faintly, and quickly closed his newly opened eyes, with a look of concentration.

"Senior brother Qingyanzi, look at this matter, brother, why don't you help me!"

An old Taoist with gray hair and wrinkled face followed Qing Yanzi, but he called Qing Yanzi, who was obviously younger, to be his senior brother.

This is the Daoist Li Shiwu who has been in charge of foreign affairs in Wudang Mountain for the past two years, and he is the only regular visitor here for the past two years.

Today, the old Taoist followed Qing Yanzi to their small courtyard again, his face was full of helplessness, and he kept begging for something in a low voice.

In the past two years, the Taoist priest Li Shiwu has always taken care of their master and apprentice. The bed bedding and Taoist robes of the three of them are often replaced with new ones. Wang Sheng also asked the deputy head to arrange for him to attend He did a few rituals and made some money.

Although these cares, more or less have the purpose of wanting to make friends with Qing Yanzi...

After the vitality of the world recovered, thanks to Qing Yanzi's reminder, the senior seniors in Wudang Mountain quickly stood up and rectified their Taoism, so that Wudang Mountain changed its previous atmosphere.

Today's Wudang Mountain is already in a semi-closed state as it was in Wang Sheng's previous life.

Although many Taoist temples and martial arts halls at the foot of the mountain are still open to the public, such places as Zixiao Palace and Jinding Taihe Palace have been closed. There are disciples constantly patrolling the mountain, and the mountain road is also blocked by large stones.

There are places where Taoist masters practice everywhere in the back mountain, and they are not allowed to approach them. Violators are not as simple as a simple fine.

Now, the Taoists who started to resume their practice have been ordered by the Taoist Association to restrain their disciples from spreading the news of the return of vitality indiscriminately.

Just like Wang Sheng's impression, although there are a lot of gossip on the Internet, the outside world is generally calm because of the supervision of the Internet.

Presumably, the Great Hua Kingdom is still formulating countermeasures, unable to determine how to deal with the impact of monks on this world...

Heaven and earth can cultivate again, the gate of the immortal way is opened again, and the Taoist priests are naturally excited, devoting themselves to cultivating the Tao without distraction.

Increasing ability and prolonging life are the most practical benefits of practicing Taoism.

But the vitality of heaven and earth is also a touchstone. Dao heart, dao state, and aptitude are directly reflected in the speed of cultivation.

Like this Li Shiwu who was talking with Qing Yanzi, it has been two and a half years since the vitality of the world has recovered, and he has also entered the Taoist sect for more than ten years.

But now he barely stepped into the God Gathering Realm.

As a result, the foreign affairs on Wudang Mountain were handed over to him, and he even had the power of deputy head.

Whenever there is any martial arts exchange meeting, Taoist scripture seminar, or the opening ceremony of the Taoist Academy, you can always see the figure of this busy man in Wudang Mountain...

Thinking about it the other way around, this is also a disguised sacrifice of Li Shiwu's opportunity to practice Taoism, and letting him deal with some mundane affairs is actually letting him give up the opportunity to attain Taoism.

This Uncle Li came to their small courtyard today, and there are more than 20 "famous masters" who are going to gather in Maoshan for an exchange meeting, and Wudang Mountain wants to invite Qing Yanzi to suppress the scene.

It is said to be an exchange meeting, but in fact, it is the various families of the famous Taoist mountains to explore each other, to see if each family has learned about the recovery of the vitality of the world, and how the seniors, disciples, and disciples of each family have progressed in their cultivation.

Wudang Mountain will send several second-generation Taoist priests who are of the same generation as Qing Yanzi and Li Shiwu, several top ten third-generation disciples, and some young people with good qualifications selected from various Taoist temples, but the team leader needs a master. .

So, Li Shiwu found Qing Yanzi.

Li Shiwu sighed: "In the whole Wudang Mountain, from the senior brother in charge to the two senior uncles, everyone said that cultivation is important and that they should stay behind closed doors, but instead they pushed this matter to me. Alas, senior brother Qingyanzi, you know that I The aptitude is dull, and the current state is also a bit touching, with the immeasurable celestial being, I really can't control the situation."

Qing Yanzi said with a smile: "All the people who go to the exchange meeting this time are the famous masters of our Taoist sect. They should be of the same spirit, and there will be no conflicts."

"I'm just afraid that someone will try it on purpose." Li Shiwu smiled wryly, and pointed to the mottled white hair on his cheek. "It's okay if I don't want my old face, so can we get rid of the face of Wudang Mountain? The current situation in Wudang It's really embarrassing, senior brother Qingyanzi is considered to be the only few monks in the fetal formation stage on the mountain at this time, I really want to help my senior brother..."

Qing Yanzi pondered a few times, with a troubled expression on his face, "If you want to find a monk in the fetal formation state to take over the place, I can't go there."

Li Shiwu was taken aback for a moment, and then hurriedly asked: "Brother, your realm has fallen? How did you fall? How is this possible?"

"It's not that I fell," Qing Yanzi flipped his palms over, and there were a few whirlwinds in his palms spinning slowly, a little light flickered, and then Zhongzheng's peaceful and grand aura spread slowly in the room.

"I broke through to the Void Core Realm a few months ago, so it's not suitable for me to go."

"Me! This you!?"

Li Shiwu stared, and this round-faced Taoist with thick brows and round belly almost jumped up and cursed.

Qingyanzi closed his five fingers, and the emptiness pill returned to his body, without revealing any breath of himself.

On the roof, Wang Sheng was having a hard time holding back his laughter.

My master's temperament is like this, he is steady, and often has unexpected words and actions.

"Senior brother Qingyanzi, your cultivation level is really..." Li Shiwu twitched a few times, and the resentment in his tone made people think that he had received a hundred yuan from the unspoken leader.

Qing Yanzi smiled and said: "Although I can't go, I have two disciples, which quite meet your requirements, Junior Brother Li."

"Huh? Both Buyu and Feiyu have broken through to the Embryo Formation Realm?"

"That's right. Xiaoxuan broke through the realm a few months ago. Xiaosheng puts more emphasis on the way of swordsmanship, and he is a late apprentice, so the realm is not as good as his senior sister, but the aptitude is not bad. It is barely in the late stage of the Concentration realm."

The calmer Qing Yanzi was at this time, the more impulsive Li Shiwu was to jump and curse.

Then, Qing Yanzi didn't seem to use any force, but his voice penetrated the wall and the courtyard, and fell into the ears of Mu Wanxuan who was meditating quietly in the forest outside the courtyard.

"Xiaosheng, Xiaoxuan, you two come here."

"Yes," Wang Sheng replied there, turned over, and jumped off the cornice neatly. His long hair shook slightly.

It's just that the short-sleeved, slippers, and big underpants are a little less elegant and chic.

Wang Sheng stood in the courtyard quietly waiting for his senior sisters to come to join him, but Li Shiwu who was inside the room couldn't help but stretched his neck and took a few extra glances at the young Taoist priest who had already reached the late stage of concentrating his mind.

Daoist Li has seen a lot of the so-called extraordinary appearance, outstanding aptitude, or some kind of proud young man or young talent, so he naturally has his own ability to recognize people.

The first time I saw Wang Sheng was to see his standing posture.

The legs are flat and the shoulders are sunken. It seems that the whole person is very relaxed, but it stands still like a pine and cypress, without the slightest bend that shouldn't be there.

Li Shiwu took another look, but felt that Wang Sheng was like a famous sword hidden in a scabbard, warm but not dry, sharp but not obvious.

The 'sword scabbard' is simple and clear, but its inner sharpness is open to speculation by outsiders.

It is natural to look at the face when looking at a person. Wang Sheng's appearance is not too conspicuous, and his sword eyebrows and star eyes are not lacking in two or three points. After all, there is still some distance from relying on his face to eat, but after growing his hair, it is a bit more unruly and elegant. feel.

Li Shiwu stroked his beard and praised: "What a little sword fairy! I have been practicing in the poor way for nearly 20 years, but it is far worse than... Shame, shame."

Qing Yanzi just chuckled beside him, his eyes full of smiles.

When a disciple is praised, it is natural for a master to be honored, and this has nothing to do with the level of his cultivation.

At the gate of the courtyard, a white shadow seemed to be walking slowly, but after a few steps, it had already arrived at Wang Sheng's side from tens of meters away, leaving only a little yin and yang energy remaining on the ground, turning into a small whirlwind and gradually dissipating.

Wang Sheng turned his head and saw a pair of clear and deep eyes, and his slightly fluctuating heart quickly calmed down.

Compared with Wang Sheng when he first came up the mountain, the senior sister is a completely different person;

One year is budding, one year is slim, and another year is peerless.

The nourishment of true energy in the past two years has completely grown her figure. She is only two inches behind Wang Sheng and Qing Yanzi, and her body proportions are even closer to perfection.

Those long legs are straight and round, the willow waist is hard to hold, and the arc of the white shirt is so beautiful;

What's even more rare is that although she practiced in the mountains, her skin is soft and smooth with no color difference. When she is illuminated by the sun, she still emits a faint light, just like the most flawless white jade in the world...

She has grown into the appearance of a 'Silence Fairy'.

Face to face day and night every day, Wang Sheng naturally would not lose his composure in front of his senior sister, saying: "Master is waiting for us."

"Um."

The two entered side by side, Wang Sheng bowed his head and greeted: "Master, Uncle Li."

"Okay, okay," Li Shiwu is also a highly respected Daoist priest after all, he took only two or three glances, then turned his eyes away from Mu Wanxuan, and asked softly, "Is the silent cultivation level really in the fetus formation state? "

Qing Yanzi smiled without saying a word.

Wang Sheng whispered next to the senior sister's ear: "Senior sister, help me get the sword here."

"Oh," Mu Wanxuan made a casual move, and the square Tai Chi sword dance sword hanging on the wall of the inner room flew towards Wang Sheng smoothly and landed in Wang Sheng's hand.

Then Mu Wanxuan blinked at Wang Sheng, as if asking her junior brother if there was anything else she could do to help.
