Chapter 15 15: As the entrance approaches, unexpected twists and turns
In the inn, Ji Yuan opened his eyes, his face turned pale, and there was a look of fear in his eyes.
“It’s amazing! Fortunately, there is a layer of centipede wasps between us.”
One centipede wasp died.
This centipede is a ritual weapon. Even if they all die, Ji Yuan himself should not be implicated.
But Ji Yuan integrated his consciousness and mind into the centipede's body, and used this to control the centipede.
The two white lights like silver dragons flew from Yin Kaishan's shoulder. I don't know what they were. They were extremely powerful and sharp.
When to kill the Centipede.
The rich sharpness can actually cut through Ji Yuan's invisible trace of mind through the centipede.
Caught off guard, Ji Yuan's heart was shocked, his internal organs were churning, and he couldn't control the energy and blood billowing all over his body.
That Taiwei Yin was indeed no ordinary person, and he was an extremely powerful person among practitioners.
If it weren't for the resistance of a layer of centipedes, just watching the two white lights slash down would make people feel devastated.
But it’s no big deal, it’s just that one of the centipedes that was finally trained is missing from the bag.
“There are only twenty places in the Taoist Academy. Those who are not of the highest caliber will not be accepted, and those who do not have family origins will not be accepted...”
“The person who has the origins of this family is probably Yin. This is home.”
Unfortunately, Ji Yuan had carefully restrained his energy while controlling the centipede, but Lieutenant Na Yin still noticed it after hundreds of steps.
"Lieutenant Yin should be on guard now. It would be better to let Centipede fly out to spy." Ji Yuan shook his head.
Taoist Lingxuan and Yin Kaishan are obviously characters in [Xuanwei Sect].
The Patriarch they are talking about should refer to the ‘ancestral master Xuanwei Yujing’.
As for Zhenren He, he should refer to the leader of the Taoist Academy, or some master.
"It's a pity that I still haven't been able to find out where the 'Taoist Academy' is."
But it's only the end of May now, and there are still more days left before the 'Taoist Academy's first day of July' recruitment of disciples as mentioned by Qingsi. some time.
Ji Yuan plans to stay in Jingzhou and then look for opportunities to investigate.
In the blink of an eye, another month has passed.
During this period, many people with noble looks or strange behaviors came to Jingzhou City, but without exception, these people were all teenagers under the age of fifteen.
Ji Yuan noticed that these people were gathering towards a place in the city called the 'Five Phoenix Tower'.
The Wufeng Tower covers an area of several acres, is no less than twenty feet high, and has more than twenty floors.
"Do you have an invitation?" The waiter stopped Ji Yuan.
"Wufeng Tower only entertains distinguished guests. Without invitations, no one can enter and disturb." The waiter did not look down on others, but explained slowly.
"May I ask, brother, how to get an invitation?" Ji Yuan asked.
"I, a humble person, dare not call you brother; the building has recently been taken over by Young Master Chen; only with an invitation from Young Master Chen can one enter."
"Young Master Chen?"
< br>"Yes, Master Chen Hai; the Chen family is our big family in Jingzhou, and it is said that there have been immortals among them."
Ji Yuan's heart moved slightly when he heard this.
Sure enough, these people should all be from a family that cultivates immortality; or in other words, they have a family background of practicing Qi refining among their ancestors.
Since he couldn't enter the Five Phoenix Tower without an invitation, Ji Yuan turned around unconcerned and planned to go back to the inn and use Centipede to come over later to spy on the news.
At this moment, a handsome young man in white walked to the Wufeng Tower, pointed at Ji Yuan and said, "Let him in. Although this little brother does not have my invitation, he is People with different skills are not ordinary boys from the mountains. "
"Yes." The waiter looked respectful and said to Ji Yuan, "This is Mr. Chen Hai."
Ji Yuan nodded. , looking at the young man in white who was about eleven or twelve years old but very handsome, he cupped his hands and said, "Thank you so much...Brother Chen."
When he looked at Chen Hai, in addition to feeling that he was rich Except for the handsomeness, nothing much can be seen.
But when Chen Hai looked at him, he could tell at a glance that he had special powers, and he was obviously not an ordinary person.
"Please, Brother Ji." Chen Hai showed his neat white teeth and
signaled Ji Yuan to go in and talk.
“Please!”
The building is bustling with many people. They are all young men in brocade clothes, accompanied by servants and maids. However, there are also some who are simply dressed but have extraordinary temperament. .
When these people saw Chen Hai, they all stood up and said hello, and Chen Hai returned the greeting one by one.
Ji Yuan followed Chen Hai to the top floor of Wufeng Building and entered a box by the window, where a table of wine and food had been set up.
"Brother Ji is the one who knocked over the Yin family's Zi Yanju with one punch on the street that day, right?" Chen Hai motioned Ji Yuan to sit down and said.
“It’s me.”
“Brother Ji’s martial arts are extraordinary.”
"I have never practiced martial arts. I have been born with supernatural powers since I was a child. It is not worth mentioning." Ji Yuan did not deny it.
“Brother Ji came to Wufeng Tower, right?”
“I can’t hide it from Brother Chen; it’s true. I want to know the specific details of Hezui Mountain. If Brother Chen knows where it is in Jingzhou, I hope he can teach me." Ji Yuan couldn't help but ask.
"This is not difficult to find out; heading west out of Jingzhou City, forty miles across the Lanjiang River, there are rolling green mountains; look." Chen Hai pointed out the window.
Sure enough, across the river where the rolling waves can be vaguely seen, there is a stretch of green mountains that are thousands of miles away, and the mountains are shrouded in clouds and mist.
"The Taoist Temple is in that mountain?"
"Yes. It is at Hezui Peak, the highest point in the mountain; also known as Yuntai Temple."
"Since it is so close to the city, why don't we see the people there? Talk about it; not to mention anyone going to worship the immortal master?" Ji Yuan was confused.
“There is an immortal master in Yuntai Temple who casts a spell, which is invisible to ordinary people. It only opens once every ten years, and then lives in isolation. In fact, few people know about it.”
“And the world’s people The people are greedy and mediocre, living and dying like ephemera; their spiritual acupoints are blinded, and they have neither the heart to seek immortality nor the foundation to learn the Dharma. "Furthermore, if the crucian carp in the world who seeks immortality can truly achieve one or two things. Skilled, but rare. ”
“That’s it.” Ji Yuan suddenly realized.
Chen Hai pointed to Wufeng Downstairs and said: "The more than ten people in the building all have the desire to seek immortality. Those who plan to cross the river on July 1st to seek immortality, maybe everyone will be the same in the future. I’m a fellow Taoist.”
In ten years, Yuntai Temple has only opened a mountain to recruit disciples; and this Wufeng Tower is where people who know the basics and have the heart to seek immortality gather.
"But I vaguely heard that the Taoist temple only accepts twenty people?" Ji Yuan asked.
"Well, you must have the foundation to cultivate immortality, or have a family background."
"Isn't it true that anyone born with nine orifices can become an immortal?"
Chen Hai shook his head: " This orifice is not that orifice, it is an ethereal spiritual orifice. The more innate spiritual orifices, the better the spiritual aptitude is. That's all."
"Doesn't everyone have spiritual orifices? "
"Generally, only one person in ten thousand people can have it; and for those who have spiritual orifices, the longer they live in the world of mortals, their spiritual orifices will gradually become obscured. Therefore, Yuntai Taoist Temple only accepts fifteen Persons under the age of ”
"So that's it." Ji Yuan nodded, then asked: "Brother Chen, since you know it so clearly, don't you think you are an extraordinary person?"
"Several of my family ancestors are practicing in Yuntai Temple. , so now that I have mastered Xuanwei magic, I can start directly." Chen Hai did not deny it, but his tone was somewhat proud.
"In fact, except for me, everyone else in this pavilion also has ancestors who practiced in the mountains. Only in this way can we know the foundation and may directly cultivate the magic power."
"There are very few mortals like you, Brother Ji, who don't have the protection of ancestors and can know the news." Chen Hai clicked his tongue in surprise.
In fact, ordinary mortals rarely receive the teachings of practitioners since childhood, and they are careful not to blind their spiritual apertures and completely lose the foundation of cultivation; or they may even succeed in cultivation in advance and then be sent to the mountains.
"So all these people in the building have developed magic powers?" Ji Yuan asked in surprise.
If this is the case, wouldn’t it mean that there would be more than ten places missing?
"That's not true. It's not that easy to cultivate magic power. These people in the building are all old friends of my family, so they were invited by me in advance. But I am the only one who has truly mastered magic power. Just one.”
Hearing this, Ji Yuan breathed a sigh of relief.
“Although I think Brother Ji is young, he is born with supernatural powers, and he may also be a person with spiritual acupoints. If Brother Ji is interested, he can come to me here on July 1st, and we can take a boat together to cross the river. "Jiang arrived at the Hezui Peak Yuntai Viewpoint." As he spoke, Chen Hai stood up and walked outside.
"Okay, thank you, Brother Chen." Ji Yuan also stood up, held his hands in his hands, and left the Wufeng Tower.
......
I just returned to my inn, and in front of the room, there was a boy in brown clothes waiting with a big bag of gifts: "Ji Xiaozhuangji, I have been waiting for you for a long time. "
"Huh? What do you want from me?" Ji Yuan remembered that he was one of the Yin family servants who had been waiting behind the 'little evil star' Yin Yao'er.
“My old lieutenant has invited a strong man, and I hope he can go and see him.”
Ji Yuan frowned slightly: "What's the matter with the old lieutenant looking for a country boy like me?"
Could it be that he was concerned about his previous peeping with a centipede?
"This old lieutenant didn't say anything. He just asked me to invite you."
"Okay, then I'll ask you to lead the way."
Ji Yuan thought for a while, thinking that with Taiwei Yin's great ability, if he didn't go, he might not be able to escape.
Finally decided to go there.
Not long after, I walked into the Yin Mansion, which covers an area of more than ten acres with Zhulou Pavilions, Cailou and Phoenix Towers, and rockery and exotic flowers. I have already seen it by driving the centipede before, so there is no need to go into details.
The child servant led Ji Yuan through the corridors and waterside pavilions to a pavilion where guests could receive guests.
Yin Kaishan stood with his hands behind his back, waiting in front of the hall.
"Ji Yuan, I have met the old captain." Ji Yuan saluted.
Yin Kaishan turned around, glanced at the skin around Ji Yuan's waist, nodded and said, "Brother, please come inside."
Seeing that his attitude was very kind, Ji Yuan breathed a sigh of relief.
When the two of them arrived in the hall, a maid offered them tea.
"The old lieutenant wants to see the boy. Do you have any instructions?" Ji Yuan asked.
"Brother Ji came to Jingzhou a month ago; he also asked around the city about Yuntai Taoist Temple. If what I expected is true, you came to Jingzhou to find immortals, right?"
< br>
Ji Yuan did not deny it and nodded in agreement.
"My little brother came here to spy on me a few months ago with my strange skills. I should know that the Taoist Academy only recruits twenty people..."
Ji Yuan's heart was tight and he was about to explain his apology.
But I heard that Captain Yin waved his hand and continued: "To be honest, I think my little brother also has a spiritual body, and he seems to have swallowed some kind of spiritual thing to create a superior foundation;"
“It’s just that our Xuanwei sect is an immortal sect and one of the supreme sects in the universe. If you want to learn longevity, you only need your qualifications. Without prominent connections, if you want to get started, you may be in trouble.”
< br>
"What do the old lieutenants mean by these words? Please speak frankly." Ji Yuan was confused.
"I can let my little brother go directly to the Taoist temple to practice. However, I hope you can agree to some small things."
"Oh? Taiwei, please tell me."
"My little granddaughter Yin Yao has a naughty nature and is careless. There are many experts and strangers in the mountains. I'm afraid that if she is just starting out, she will offend others and be bullied."
"It just so happens that the little girl Brother, you have supernatural power and magic. I would like to ask you to follow Yao'er into the mountains and be her companion. I will ask you to take care of her and control her."
"Doesn't that mean she wants me to be her servant?"
"If you can become a Taoist, you are one of my generation. How can I let you be her servant? I just want you to be her companion. Why bother?" It sounds so ugly.”
“What do you think?” Yin Kaishan asked.
"I don't know if I can get in if I agree; but if I don't agree, I'm afraid I won't be able to get in, right?" Ji Yuan sneered.
The Yin family is inextricably linked to the Xuanwei Sect and has considerable influence; if they do not agree, they will be blocked.
"Of course, you are a smart man." Yin Kaishan smiled and took a leisurely sip of tea.
Asking for votes, monthly tickets and recommended tickets are all fine, let’s smash it, let’s start the path of spiritual practice tomorrow
