"Longquan Tao has experienced a renaissance in the past, and now there are masters like Penglai Daoist. It is really prosperous and endless. It must be prosperous and famous for hundreds of years this time."
Hu Zhizhi He smiled and said, "Among the gifts I brought this time, there was also a sword. , just in time to ask fellow Taoist friends from Penglai to comment.”
The items held by the young men and women behind him, and the flower baskets they were carrying, were the gifts he sent, among which there was indeed a long sword with a black sheath and gold. The lacquer is decorated with plum blossom patterns, the hilt is shaped like a bamboo joint and is slightly flat, and the tassel is apricot yellow.
Su Hanshan took it over and looked at it, with a smile on his face.
This sword feels very comfortable to hold. The hilt is cool and cool against the palm of your hand. If you have any distracting thoughts in your heart, holding this sword will eliminate them and leave you pure and happy.
"This sword has no murderous intent at all. It is a sword of Confucian etiquette. It has been cast for more than three hundred years, but it has never been stained with blood. It has not even been unsheathed and used in a tense situation. It is filled with murderous intent. "
Su Hanshan only pulled out three inches of the sword, and most of it was still in the sheath, but he saw a cold white light like frost and snow shining between his eyebrows.
"The spirit of Baoxue is very good. Even if you are a master in the realm of the gods, it will be very beneficial if you can hold this sword and practice with it often. If it is on the battlefield, it is only a middle-grade sword. It is used in practice." Absolutely the best.”
Confucianism. There have always been many masters who do not practice swordsmanship who also like to wear swords. Their swords are purely ritual instruments. In conjunction with etiquette and rituals, they can have the same effects as the Taoist practice of opening altars, calling for wind and rain, curing diseases and saving people, transcending resentful souls, distinguishing between loyal and traitors, and maintaining health. Refining the spirit has many wonderful uses.
After all, Hu Zhizhi has no real friendship with Yuan Daoling. Even if both parties are strong men in the Void Secret Realm, just taking out this kind of sword as a gift during casual interactions can be called "important". "Ceremony".
But this sword is only part of the greeting gift.
Su Hanshan can feel that there are several gifts that are obviously worth no less than this sword, which shows the magnanimity of the Pure Fox clan.
He handed the sword to Bao Zheng.
Bao Zheng's predecessor was the Ghost King Zhong Kui, who was also an expert in swordsmanship. When he got this sword, he knew its value and couldn't help but sigh.
"Brother Hu, to be honest, the world is about to be in a state of turmoil. China has a special status. Once there is chaos, the chaos will be the worst there. I came to Dongzhou because I wanted to find a place to stay. In order to compensate for my conscience, I entrusted all my treasures to my old friends in China.”
"Now, I feel like a breath of fresh air on my lower body. Although there are treasures in the secret realm of Deng Gucha, they are only for fellow Taoists. If you give such a heavy gift, it would be rude if I cannot repay it..."
While Bao Zheng was pondering, he looked at the young men and women, "Brother Hu, if you don't mind, I will give you these My descendants, please recite a congratulatory speech. It is not considered a formal ceremony, it is just a blessing. "
Men, crowns, and women have grown up and should behave responsibly, because customs vary from place to place. The actual age indicated varies, but the format of the greetings used is often similar.
It is to give some summary and guidance of the recipient's past personality, and then add some auspicious words and blessings.
If the person who recites the congratulations is a master of his generation, it is as if he can be blessed by a spell and bring various benefits to the recipient within a certain period of time.
It may be an actual protective spell produced when in danger, or it may be a sudden gain of inspiration during practice, or a clue suddenly captured when encountering a complex situation, etc.
Of course Hu Zhizhi would not refuse. He greeted the juniors to come forward and said: "Confucian literature is famous for its brilliance. It is also an honor for them to receive a congratulatory message from Taoist friend Bao. ”
Looking at Bao Zheng now, he looks like he is in his twenties, and he looks exactly like the same generation as these young men from the Fox tribe.
When he read the congratulations, he still had a smile on his face. It was not like the elders giving discipline to the younger generation or adding responsibility to the younger generation. It seemed like a spur-of-the-moment blessing among friends of the same generation.
"Li Zhuang is your quality, and your virtue is your body. You will always change your childlike innocence, and your mourning teeth will grow long. Zhu Jin leaves your hair, and you are walking in green clothes. Dan and stone are used for practice, and everything is perfect..."
Those little foxes originally looked very respectful and serious. As they listened, their snow-white fox ears were exposed from their black hair and twitched slightly.
The cute and reserved feeling faded away, some were obviously more lively, and some were still dignified, showing their nature.
The longer I read this article, the longer I read it, and the more I read it, the more calm I became.
Bao Zheng holds the long sword at an angle, like holding a bamboo, and the sound of chanting while sitting cross-legged unknowingly spreads from this mountain to the surrounding mountains, each word is deeply rooted in people's hearts, and each word penetrates into the void.
Hu Zhizhi originally didn't care about the other party's return gift, but now he was moved and responded seriously.
"I didn't expect that Bao Zheng is really an honest man. This article has put a lot of effort into blessing and running the foundation..."
Hu Zhizhi thought secretly in his heart.
Su Hanshan is powerful, has a casual attitude, and has a reputation for killing Deng Gucha with his sword.
Ma Jiugong's appearance is as simple as that of a jade man, and he is as dark as jade. He is so hidden that it is difficult to see his sincerity.
Among the three of them, only Bao Zheng made Hu Zhizhi think he was truly loyal.
Moreover, Bao Zheng's cultivation level is also the lowest among the three. It feels like he broke through to the realm of heaven and man not long ago.
Based on Hu Zhizhi’s cultivation, he thought it would be much easier to distinguish whether such a person was sincere or fake.
With this breakthrough, it will be easier to consider how to make friends with these three people in the future, grasp the distance and distance, the degree of utilization, in which aspect, and the method of comforting and giving feedback afterwards.
With these thoughts running through his mind, Hu Zhi looked at Bao Zheng with an increasingly cordial look.
However, as Bao Zheng continued to read his article, raindrops seemed to be beating in the space around him.
Tiny raindrops collapse into mist, and each small piece of mist forms a word.
All the words exactly match the words recited by Bao Zheng.
The more I read it, the more these words jump out.
Hu Zhizhi let out a sigh, opened his palm, and saw a few words jumping in his palm.
These words are actually composed entirely of fragrance.
It's a similar principle to when he came by boat before, the fragrance of the dreamy flowers naturally formed a flower shape.
No, it’s not similar. This is simply a real fantasy, and his attainments are more pure and noble than Hu Zhizhi’s!
“Where does this fragrance come from?!”
Hu Zhizhi’s heartstrings vibrated and he looked up.
Ma Jiugong also had a look of great surprise on his face and cried out: "Why do I feel such a strong Confucian cultivation, as if there is a secret realm of my Confucian predecessors and great masters nearby? ! ”
Su Hanshan thought thoughtfully: "Could it be that the predecessors and sages of this Yuandaoling lineage left behind any other treasures?"
Bao Zheng's article was also read to the end at this time, and the little ones in front of him The foxes also smelled this strange and familiar fragrance, and they were a little at a loss and looked around.
Suddenly, about three feet above Bao Zheng's head, the space was like a cloud, which fluctuated violently and spread out in a circle.
From the clouds, a bronze incense burner with three legs and two ears and an animal face pattern appeared.
The carving decoration on the front of this incense burner is a fox head made of white jade. The two eyes of the fox head are narrow and strange. They are obviously dead objects, but they reveal an unreasonable sense of elegance and sanctity, and they also emit a clear blue light. .
"Blue-eyed white fox!!"
I don't know that just now Hu was just having trouble in his heart, but now his face really changed.
The blue-eyed white fox is an image that can only be manifested by those who are extremely talented in the way of incense among their pure fox clan.
The saint of their generation is a blue-eyed white fox, so she has already reached the realm of heaven and human at a young age, and has great potential. She is proficient in several types of skills that have been discontinued in the clan for hundreds of years. The secret method that no one understands.
It is also for this reason that this time, taking advantage of the ancestor's birthday party, the Chunhu clan made rumors about choosing a son-in-law, and it was able to attract so much attention.
This incense burner is obviously a natal magic weapon forged by a certain senior master, integrated with its own secret realm.
The image that this magic weapon can manifest is probably the characteristic of the senior's secret realm. In other words, the senior was also a blue-eyed white fox during his lifetime.
“That’s it!”
Ma Jiugong slapped his thigh and stood up, looking like he suddenly realized, “I once heard that the Yuandaoling lineage was the last one seven hundred years ago. The master of the hospital is from the Fox Clan. "
"It must be that Brother Bao has been determined to renew the Taoist tradition here, which caused the induction of the void secret realm left by his predecessors."
"Today he is working hard here again. He sincerely wishes that the descendants of the Fox Clan will bring this secret realm to the world faster and recognize him as their master."
At the end of the Qin Dynasty, Lingzhou was also in great chaos. , the pure fox clan suffered a lot.
Although the Fox clan vaguely knew that the head of the White Fox Academy did not die during the Qin Army's Eastern Expedition, but went to the Middle Earth, they did not know what happened later.
Besides, the dean was not very close to the pure fox clan during his lifetime.
No one would have thought that the master of the academy would be able to manifest the appearance of a "blue-eyed white fox" by practicing as a cultivator from a foreign tribe. He would have a magical way of incense and keep his own secret realm, which is related to the Taoism of Yuandaoling. Together.
Hu Zhidun suddenly felt a strong sense of unwillingness in his heart.
The senior master of the academy is really crazy about studying. Even though the academy has been destroyed, he doesn't know how to return his last inheritance to the pure fox clan and leave it to the children of the clan.
Well now, such a large and complete secret realm has fallen into the hands of outsiders with no relatives.
But there are still a few tough outsiders!
“That is the secret realm of the blue-eyed white fox...”
Hu Zhizhi couldn't help but murmured, his eyes full of yearning.
Bao Zheng stared at the incense burner for a moment, with an aura of culture and aura about him, as if he had received many messages from the incense burner.
"Brother Hu, if you are interested, why don't you come with me and take a look inside."
Bao Zheng smiled and said, "Although it was left to Yuan Daoling by his predecessors to rely on, it is still there. It is fate that I appeared today when I was blessing the Fox Clan.”
Hu Zhizhi meant to be polite, but he already agreed. Of course Su Hanshan wanted to go in to check, but before standing up, he pulled out a green sword from his sleeve and stuck it on the ground.
Hu Zhizhi was stunned and calmed down.
The four masters turned into four streams of light and flew into the incense burner.
Black land, clear water, green and yellow reeds, and white reed flowers.
As soon as they entered the secret realm, everyone looked over from high in the sky and saw only an endless expanse of reeds.
This scenery is very simple, but it makes everyone's heart tremble.
The Void Secret Realm is limited in scale. Based on Su Hanshan's cultivation, even if they enter the Great Void Secret Realm, they should be able to see the edges at a glance.
But these reeds gave them a feeling of boundlessness, which must be a superb formation effect.
"Xiandi Black Eyed Divine Reed Formation!"
Several people thought of this formation at the same time.
This formation is so famous. When Wu Xushan was young, he relied on this formation to escape from the pursuing troops of the ancient Chu Dynasty and fled into Wu. During the Chu-Wu war, this formation repeatedly performed extraordinary feats.
Until he was ambushed by the new Emperor Wu, he also used this formation to escape and established himself again in Dongzhou.
Unexpectedly, Master Baihu has also thoroughly understood this formation. The formation he set up in his secret realm has been running continuously for more than five hundred years, and its power remains the same.
Both Ma Jiugong and Hu Zhizhidao were sincerely praising this formation, but Su Hanshan was looking into the void.
Even if he is also affected by the formation, he can detect far more things than others. He can vaguely feel the operation of the five immortal magical powers.
Cultivation in the Void Secret Realm is very particular.
In the human world of the Abyss Realm, seventh-level strong men try to understand the condensed three immortal magical powers, and they must guard the past mind, present mind, and future mind respectively.
To put it in the roughest terms, it means that you will not forget your past memories, your current reactions will not be slow, you will remain curious about unknown things in the future, and you will not lose your interest in life.
In this way, one can have a life span of more than a thousand years under the invisible constraints of heaven.
In Buddhist terms, it is very easy for ordinary people to have their minds reversed. Monks, nuns, vajra warriors, Dharma protectors, gods, dragons, and kings of heaven all also have their minds reversed.
But the Bodhisattva’s mind never retreats.
For seventh-level warriors, if the three immortal magical powers are controlled separately, they can achieve the bodhisattva heart at each stage.
But suppression alone is not effective, because suppression is a kind of blockage, and if there is blockage, there will be leakage.
The method of suppression simply shows the hard side, which is not in line with the nature of the law of heaven, which is both hard and soft.
Therefore, there is also a fourth kind of immortal magical power, which corresponds to the heart of transcendence and is the pursuit of the great road. It can maintain the fun of pursuing the great road and the happiness of pursuing the true result.
The fifth type of immortal magical power corresponds to the heart of the underworld and is the tolerance of the ordinary heart.
The mystery above and the depth below form a comprehensive cycle, allowing the three minds of past, present and future to guide the things that are not completely suppressed and reincarnate endlessly.
The Buddhists say that the wonderful truth of reincarnation is that reincarnation is carried out in order not to be damaged, not reduced, and not destroyed.
Taoists call these steps the "Zhengtian Zhengdao", which is like the turning of a wheel, not staying in place, but moving towards the sky over and over again.
In the early Middle Ages, hundreds of schools of thought converged, and before the names of the various realms of mainstream martial arts were completely settled, many people habitually referred to the seventh and eighth levels as Bodhisattva's Heart and Zhoutian Dao.
The Master of the White Fox Academy is at the peak of the eighth level, a master of the Five Qi Dynasty, and a great master of Zhou Tian Zhengdao. The most rare thing is that he himself is dead, but the secret realm is well preserved.
How to place the five immortal magical powers separately, operate them together, and fit them into the Great Void Secret Realm can give Su Hanshan a lot of inspiration.
But several people traveled together, and after half an hour, Su Hanshan had to admit it.
The core of this secret realm is no longer just five immortal magical powers.
The existence of the Shenlu Formation is, in a sense, more important than the entire secret realm.
"It is said that the complete Divine Reed Formation requires 720 artifacts, including 36 treasures of heaven and man, and eight divine weapons forged by the powerful in the void."
Hu Zhizhi is watching. This secret realm is full of praise, "I don't know if this great formation is the most complete one." status. "
"But Brother Bao is in charge of this formation, which is probably enough to compete with the seventh-level powerhouses, and even gain the upper hand, and it is possible to lock the opponent in the formation."
The more he saw the benefits of this secret realm, the more regretful he felt.
Su Hanshan also nodded: "If nothing else, for someone of Deng Gucha's caliber, if Lao Bao presides over this formation, he can injure and repel them."
Bao Zheng picked a reed flower in his hand, twisted it gently, and said, "Guys, do you think this formation is better or this secret realm?"
Ma Jiugong thought about it. Thinking: "Should we look at the secret realm and the formation separately... In any secret realm, the traces of the original owner are the deepest. Even if you are recognized, when you control the secret realm, you will be able to interact with the most. A seventh-level powerhouse can't compete with you, but it can't match your strength in controlling the formation."
Su Hanshan looked at the sky and then at the reeds at his feet: "This secret realm has lost its original owner. If it is destroyed. The purpose is that I can break it without using three swords, but I can’t see through this formation yet.”
The meaning is obvious.
Hu Zhizhi let out a long sigh, but said: "If I were asked to choose, I would rather choose this secret realm. I think a few of you know the status of the blue-eyed white fox."
"A blue-eyed white fox has cultivated the secret realm of the Great Void. If you observe his secret realm, you will be enlightened on the incense path."
Hu Zhizhi handed over to the three of them, "You three, our fox tribe has always loved doing business."
“I would like to discuss the price with you, so that my pure fox clan can regularly send several outstanding clan members to come and observe this incense. "Fu, I wonder if that's okay?"
Bao Zheng looked at him and saw that his eyes were full of sincerity and did not shy away. He suddenly smiled: "Ha, Brother Hu, have you forgotten the purpose of coming today? You are here to send me a message." The invitation..."
Seeing him change the subject, Hu knew that he was going to decline. He felt regretful and wondered if there were any other means.
But I heard Bao Zheng say again: "We want to celebrate the birthday of ancestor Chunhu. We are in need of a big gift, so how about giving this secret realm to us?!"
"What?!"
Hu Zhizhi was surprised and happy, almost doubting that he had heard wrongly, and then he became vigilant.
"Brother Bao, our saint's choice of husband cannot be decided in advance. Who the saint will choose must be seen by herself before she decides..."
Bao Zheng was stunned. , coughed lightly and said: "No, no, no, I don't have this intention for the saint, not for this."
Hu Zhizhi's expression became even more suspicious.
For such a big and heavy gift, unless it is for the saint, what else could it be for?
The benefits of marrying a saint are endless and immeasurable, so it can be said to be a good deal.
If he really said it was to celebrate his birthday, even the three-year-old child of the Fox tribe wouldn't believe it.
“Yesterday’s behavior of Deng Gucha made us understand that even if we move here, we will inevitably have grudges. When a great disaster comes in the future, the three of us will not be safe enough.”
Bao Zheng cupped his hands and said, "I am giving this gift just because I want to form an alliance with the Chunhu clan. Please ask at least two masters from the Void Secret Realm in Brother Hu's clan to send the statues that they have sacrificed with their own blood to our Yuandaoling." ! ”
The sacrifice of the statue of painstaking effort takes a lot of wear and tear. Only those strong men who have broken through to a certain realm for a long time and come from a wealthy family will have this habit.
Wherever the Statue of Efforts is located, a large amount of skill can be transmitted through the air. There are very few means that can hinder this kind of transmission support.
By driving the statue to fight, it can have half the strength of the real body. If necessary, it can become stronger even if it pays a certain price.
If this is the exchange condition, Yuandaoling is not really at a loss...
Hu Shizhi's surprised mood calmed down slightly, and he probed: "Then this formation..."
"The formation is naturally separated from the secret realm."
Bao Zheng said, "I'll wait. I will ask you not to resist this formation later, and please work together to carry out the formation carried by this mountain and land, Transport it to the outside world. "
"Then find some suitable locations around the original Daoling, cut the void, and open the cracks so that these mountains and rivers can be placed and connected with the original mountains and rivers. "< br>
Hu Zhizhi was completely relieved after hearing such words.
"Okay, then it's settled!"
He was extremely happy in his heart. Although he had shown his importance to the secret realm in a reasonable and reasonable manner before, in fact, the secret realm of the blue-eyed white fox fell into the hands of the Fox Clan, and its real use was , it’s not as simple as he said.
"I can make a decision on this matter and deliver the statue immediately after the birthday banquet."
Hu Zhizhidao saw the expressions on the faces of Su Hanshan and Ma Jiugong. Smiling, although he did not object, he was obviously not too enthusiastic. Looking at the happy Bao Zheng, he felt even more pleasing to the eyes of this loyal and somewhat unscrupulous descendant of the Confucian sect.
“Brother Bao, if you don’t give up, how about I become sworn sworn friends with you!”
