At sunset!
The sky is getting darker and the sun is slowly fading down the horizon.
As the steel ship docked, Xu Chang and others finally successfully boarded the island in the middle of the lake in the middle of the Sea of Fireflies, which is also the real base camp of Guiling Palace.
After getting off the boat, I saw that there was no human skin lantern, skeletons, swarms of poisonous insects, and corpse oil wicks that Xu Chang remembered illuminating the magic cave.
What he saw was a prosperous urban building.
Elegant palaces, pavilions, temples and pagodas are distributed in an orderly manner. Many merchants along the street are setting up stalls and hawking, and a large number of disciples of Guiling Palace are shuttled here, and bargaining sounds are coming one after another.
The goods it sells from the most common furniture and daily necessities to various elixirs, talismans and magic tools. Poisonous insects and insects are common items sold here. The entire city is full of life atmosphere and orderly, making it more lively than the dock outside.
"Don't get lost, come with me."
Zhang Xin greeted the merchant on the ship and said goodbye, then led Xu Chang and others through the bustling city.
"Why aren't these people afraid of your Guiling Palace?"
Xu Chang couldn't help it anymore. Whether it was the dock outside Firefly, or the scenes he saw at Huxin Island, they all refreshed his three views. How could a demon monk get along with ordinary people? "Because of Sect Master Su's strict orders, he wanted to open up trade and welcome merchants from all over the world to come and trade. Merchants who come here, sect disciples are not allowed to force buying and selling. In commercial blocks, even using magic and spiritual power is not allowed. Once discovered and reported and confirmed, the consequences will happen." Zhang Xin shook his head, as if he had thought of something cruel.
The demon cultivators are naturally not all honest, especially when doing business with ordinary people, it is not too common to make small moves.
But the business and trade of Guiling Palace is getting more and more prosperous, and it is not a big deal for the businessmen and people who come to do business.
The meaning of this represents is self-evident.
Without enough iron-blooded methods, those demon cultivators with perverted temperament will not be so honest.
Xu Chang nodded thoughtfully, and he naturally had heard of Su Jie's name.
However, Su Jie's reputation is mostly linked to words such as ruthlessness, inhumanity, and harming the world.
Now I heard about Su Jie from Zhang Xin, which is a bit different from what I heard in the past.
However, Xu Chang believes that this is not very good. Zhang Xin is a demon cultivator and must speak for the leader of his own sect. His words will beautify everything about his own sect. The truth is still unknown.
At this time, the sky was getting darker. Xu Chang and others were walking. Suddenly, they felt the top of their heads light up and the surroundings became brighter as daylight. They thought someone was using magic, so they couldn't help but be shocked.
Xu Chang subconsciously looked at Zhang Xin. The other party said that the transaction here was completely unwarranted, but someone immediately made trouble. Isn't this a slap in the face?
But soon, Xu Chang realized that he was wrong.
Because it is not that monks use magic to illuminate the darkness, but bright lights lit up at the tops of iron frames on both sides of the roadside.
Including the shops on the street, soft light also illuminates the dim environment, and some of the lights are even colorful.
"What's the thing?" Xu Chang asked in his forehead and exclaimed: "You Guiling Palace is so rich and powerful, and you use so many magic tools to replace oil lamps and lantern lighting? You have too much money, don't you spend it?"
Zhang Xin was happy and laughed: "What magic tool! It's a kind of lamp, a gadget produced by Puppet Hall. I don't know the principle of lighting it up. Anyway, just turn on the power line.
Speaking of which, Puppet Hall is still promoting this kind of lamp, expanding power stations in various parts of Qingzhou, saying that it is to make Qingzhou no longer have nights. If you go down the mountain a few months later, you can see it in many cities."
Xu Chang sensed it carefully. There was indeed no fluctuation that magical tools should have. He immediately blushed. He felt like he was entering the city like a country bumpkin. He secretly regretted his fuss and made others laugh at him.
The next trip was no longer unexpected. Zhang Xin led the disciples of the Golden Sword Sect to enter an antique palace.
Step on the white jade steps, push open the thick gate made of star magnetic brass, and after turning around, we come to a spacious martial arts performance venue.
Near the martial arts court are homes with special places for practice, meditation and retreat, connected to the underground spiritual veins, and the spiritual energy is much richer.
The lights are also bright here. Although it is already night, there are still many monks here.
Xu Chang saw a beautiful female disciple of Miaoyinguan, a tall Longhu Sect disciple who was practicing the route of physical cultivation, and a Yunhai Cave disciple who was wearing white robe and fluttering temperament. There were as many as hundreds of disciples from the Zhengdao Sect in Qingzhou gathered here, including many inner disciples, and even genius disciples who had the strength to reach the tenth level of the Spirit Realm.
Not everyone fooled Guiling Palace and sent outside disciples to serve.
There are also many righteous sects who understand that the situation is irreversible. In order to bring their relationship with Guiling Palace, they sent real geniuses to study and study.
These disciples sat cross-legged in the martial arts field. They talked loudly with each other, laughing and the atmosphere was very lively.
When Xu Chang saw this scene, he felt strange in his heart.
Because he saw that there were clearly more than a dozen disciples from Guiling Palace present in the crowd.
These disciples of Guiling Palace discussed the Tao with the righteous disciples, but the scene was particularly harmonious. Both parties who should have been beaten to death actually sat together and drank tea and chatted.
Zhang Xin patted Xu Chang's shoulder and introduced the rules here: "This is the school where you study. In addition to three meals a day, there are special tutoring elders in the morning to guide you in the knowledge of practice, answer questions and answer questions. Of course, whether you listen or not. You can move freely in the afternoon and evening. We do not restrict your freedom here. You can go to work, make friends, and go to the library, regardless of anything."
After saying that, Zhang Xin pointed to the martial arts venue and said, "I suggest you make friends with these people. They come a few days earlier than you. If you don't understand, you can ask them."
After saying that, Zhang Xin found another house for Xu Chang to arrange it, and then turned around and left. "Senior Brother, do we want to go there?"
As soon as Zhang Xin left, a junior sister from Jinjianmen asked in a low voice and looked at the martial arts venue.
"What are you going to? Is there anything you can do with those evil demons and heretics? Do you discuss how to kill and peel them?"
Xu Chang snorted coldly. As a sword cultivator, he had a sense of arrogance and disdain to confuse with those demon cultivators.
What's more, Xu Chang didn't think there was anything that Guiling Palace could teach him. They were sword cultivators, not bugs, and their professionalism was not right.
He came to Guiling Palace just because he wanted to live a life, and after half a year of ease, he returned to the sect.
If I really study here with Guiling Palace, if the Jinjianmen says he betrays the sect's morality, he can't explain it clearly!
When hearing this, several disciples of the Golden Sword Sect could only follow Xu Chang and return to the yard.
In the evening, several disciples of the Zhengdao Sect came to knock on the house, intending to chat with Xu Chang and others.
However, Xu Chang was not happy to speak, and did not look down on these righteous monks who ran to the Guiling Palace to hold the stinky feet. They were ashamed to be with these guys and acted very cold and arrogant.
These righteous monks with a hot face and cold butts are naturally not boring themselves.
Before leaving, I could still hear something coming out of these righteous monks' mouths, "These guys who practice swords and stupidity, have a stubborn mind", "What's the proud sword cultivator? Don't come here if you have the ability! Who will show off their bad face?’’ Sooner or later they will suffer a loss. ’Xu Chang ignored it and thought they were jealous of their noble character.
No words all night!
The next morning, the mist in the morning had not yet dissipated, and several morning bells rang in the school hall.
Xu Chang turned over and saw a group of Qingzhou righteous monks and disciples running to the martial arts field.
There is a fairy-like old man sitting cross-legged on the cushion.
The old man looked kind and beautiful, with silver-white eyebrows hanging from his tail, and a green gourd hung from his waist. He held a whisk in his left hand and pinched the Taoist proof in his right hand.
The invisible spiritual power surged, and thousands of runes were vaguely flowing in the void, and the sound of the great way was faintly visible.
"Who is this person!" Xu Chang's heart jumped. Seeing this old man with fairy spirit, the momentum exuded by the other party was more than ten times stronger than the master of his third level of the Secret Realm. Seeing him was like a sparrow looking at an eagle, a stream seeing the sea, and his momentum was like an abyss, unfathomable.
"Elder Tang!"
"Elder Tang!"
"Elder Tang!"
"Elder Tang!"
The newest ⊥Xiao⊥Speak⊥Send⊥Six⊥9⊥Book⊥⊥⊥⊥Back⊥⊥⊥⊥!
The righteous disciples greeted him respectfully, and their eyes could not hide their excitement. They all accelerated and ran to grab the cushions on the ground, hoping to be closer to the old Taoist who was immortal. "Elder Tang, could it be Tang Peiqing, who is a powerful person in the Taoist realm! Is such a big shot to give us a lecture?"
In the Jinjian Sect, several disciples were shocked when they heard the title of Elder Tang.
Before coming to Guiling Palace, the elders of Jinjianmen gave them some popular science, what are the powerful figures in Guiling Palace?
Among them is the Supreme Elder Tang Peiqing, who lived for hundreds of years and was a real Taoist powerhouse.
These disciples of the Golden Sword Sect did not expect that Guiling Palace had such a big handwriting. They originally thought that it would be good to have the elders of the Secret Hall preach, but in the end, it was a powerful man from the Taoist realm who came to explain it himself. "Today, we will continue to preach. This time we talk about the key points of the fifth to sixth levels of the spiritual realm. I hope it will be helpful to all of you who want to become an inner disciple."
Tang Peiqing touched the snow-white goatee beard with a kind expression and slowly said: "The law of gods and immortals is different from ordinary people. Is immortality the most important thing to be immortal. As the saying goes, if gold and jade are in the nine orifices, the dead will be immortal. If salt and brine are touched by the muscle marrow, the chrysanthemum will not rot. Besides, for things that are suitable for the body and life, it will be taken to yourself. Why do you blame it for the immortality that makes people live long?"
The tongue blooms with lotus flowers, and the Tao sound is circulated. Those righteous disciples who listen to the lecture are intoxicated. Some are addicted to it, listening to it, and some are taking notes wildly, preparing to go back and study it carefully.
"It's just a means of seducing me, it's not worth mentioning." Xu Chang held back his heart from running to listen to the lecture, forcing himself to remain unmoved.
But a few little disciples of the Golden Sword Sect don’t have such great concentration. This is the preaching of the powerful people in the Taoist realm!
They don’t have the chance to hear the preaching of this kind of powerful people in the Jinjian Sect at all, and it is impossible for a strong man in the Daotai realm to answer questions and answer questions to these disciples of the Yunling Realm outside the realm.
Not to mention the powerful people in the Taoist realm, even the elders of the Secret Tibetan realm will not preach to them specifically. That is the exclusive one of the inner disciples.
Especially for many outer disciples, Tang Peiqing talked about breaking through the cultivation key points of the fifth to sixth levels of the spiritual realm.
The fifth level of the Soul Realm and the sixth level of the Soul Realm are the dividing lines between outer disciples and inner disciples. This is an absolute great opportunity for many outer disciples. "Senior brother, my stomach hurts a little, go to the bathroom first." Seeing the sermon begin, a junior brother of Jinjianmen covered his stomach with an expression of unbearable pain.
Without waiting for Xu Kai to open his mouth, he pushed open the door with a whoosh, and his legs quickly moved and disappeared in a blink of an eye.
"Senior brother, I'm hungry, I'll get some food."
A little junior sister also turned her eyes and said in a delicate way.
Then he took a lotus step, his little butt was swaying and hurried out of the room.
Xu Chang then realized his reaction and stared at the remaining two junior brothers who were ready to move.
"What, you are going to run away too. Have you forgotten the teachings of the master? Where is your sword cultivator's arrogance?"
The two little disciples of the Jinjian Sect who originally wanted to slip away had a bitter face. Looking at the senior brother who was blocking the door, they could only say with a grievance. "Senior brother, you misunderstood me, so I didn't want to go to listen. I'm different from Junior Sister Jia Chuchu. I'm not hungry." "Senior brother, I'm too. Yu Ning is so unfaithful. He is at the fifth level of the Spirit Realm and will have stomachache. He must be greedy for the elders of the Taoist Realm of others. When he comes back, I will criticize him severely."
Hearing the words of the two junior brothers, Xu Chang's expression improved, and he scolded them a few more words, asking them not to deal with Guiling Palace, and then turned around and closed the door.
But when Xu Chang walked to the door, his eyes couldn't help but twitch.
Because he saw his two junior brothers and sisters, Yu Ning, who had just said that his stomach was hurt, got into the martial arts field and sat on a cushion, listening to the sermon with his eyes shining, and there was no discomfort at all.
The young junior sister of her family was even more overwhelming. She didn't see the girl's reserve at all, and she squeezed out several righteous monks.
Amid the glaring of other righteous disciples, he was cute and apologized, taking advantage of his own female cultivator's advantage that others could not fight with her, forcing him to squeeze in to better listen to Tang Peiqing's sermon. "It's so despicable. Our sword cultivator's pride has been thrown away by these two bastards." Xu Chang's angry face was ashen, and he was very angry by these two people.
He also said last night that he would keep a distance from Guiling Palace. Today, the two junior brothers and sisters ran to listen to the sermon. This rebellion was too fast.
Xu Chang suddenly closed the door, turned his head and saw the two junior brothers behind him looking at the eyes of their junior brothers outside with envy, as if they wanted to join them immediately. "Look, take your eyes back." Xu Chang snorted coldly, woke up the two of them, and warned: "I tell you, there is nothing good about Guiling Palace preaching. They understand sword cultivators. Our Golden Sword Sect's things are enough for you to learn for the rest of your life."
The two disciples shrank their necks and dared not speak anymore.
But what is really thinking in my heart, then it is unknown to outsiders. After all, the preacher is a powerful person in the Taoist realm!
Dongdong!
At this moment, the door suddenly rang.
A disciple of a scholastic servant from Guiling Palace brought breakfast and food. He looked at the people in the house curiously and said, "Hey, I said, don't you guys go and listen? Elder Tang personally preached, such opportunities are not available every day!"
This sentence was like touching Xu Chang's reverse scale. He was like a cat who was stepped on his tail, and said angrily: "Listen? I, Xu Chang, even if I starve to death, I will not listen to you if I jumped from here."
This voice was extremely firm, with an unquestionable attitude. Xu Chang was such a firm sword cultivator, so he would not betray his sect. (This chapter ends)
