"Senior Brother, may I ask how to get to Qiping Peak?"
"Go right from here, first to Lingxiao Pavilion, then turn due north, go to Rainbow Bridge, and then..."
"Uh, which Rainbow Bridge is it?"
"..."
It took nearly half a quarter of an hour for Yu Ci to finally figure out the entire route. After thanking him profusely, he walked towards the fork on the right. Similar situations have happened many times in the past ten days, but there is still no progress.
To be honest, I don’t blame Yu Ci for not being careful. The Lichen Sect’s mountain gate is actually too large and too complicated. Within the mountain gate, there are more than 300 floating peaks with different purposes, all of which are more than tens of meters apart from each other. Although they are often connected by Hongqiao in the middle, with the changes in the mountain gate prohibition law, these Hongqiao are constantly adjusting their positions. For a person who has just arrived at the mountain gate for half a month, he wants to remember these hundreds or thousands of moments. It was too difficult to keep the changing route in mind.
Now Yu Ci has understood that without the cultivation of returning elixirs and the ability to control a flying machine, it is difficult to move at the gate of Lichen Sect. He has already sent a letter of request for help to Zhixin Guan, hoping to temporarily borrow the treasure light. The ghost yarn cloud may be a little slower, but it can go straight and save a lot of energy.
But before Gui Shayun arrives, Yu Ci still has to survive this period of time.
Actually, even though I can’t fly high in the clouds or fly in the sky with my sword, walking on the mountain path is a different experience.
Yu Cizheng was walking through Lingxiao Pavilion.
It is about seventy miles from Wanfa Jingshe to Lingxiao Pavilion, which is the boundary from the Realistic Department to the Academic Department. This is one of the largest libraries in Shanmen. It is said that there are hundreds of millions of books in it. As vast as the sea. Before Yu Ci had time to take a look inside, he saw outside the library, on the mountain road, under the green trees, and in the pavilions, there were people holding scriptures, meditating, or chanting. Occasionally, there were people making gestures in the air, and spiritual light overflowed and filled them. In the atmosphere, overall, it is quiet and peaceful.
Yu Ci is in a pretty good mood. It must be said that the current Lichen Sect is the most relaxing time of the year. Most of the monks above Buxu of the sect have gone to the Jiutian Outer Territory to practice. Due to the loss of control, , this is also the time when the junior disciples in the mountain sect are most active, and some interesting things happen every day - if you can integrate into it.
At this moment, on the Qiping Peak, the Academic Department held a Dharma talk to clarify the mystical principles. In addition to the Academic Department, there were also people from the Moral Department, the Discipline Department, and the Empirical Department. Yu Ci came to watch the fun.
Having passed Lingxiao Pavilion, Yu Ci was looking for the location of the Rainbow Bridge, but two people came up quickly from behind and called him from behind at the same time: "Is that Junior Brother Yu Ciyu from Dingshe Huangzifang in front of you?"
Yu Ci stopped in surprise and looked back: "The two senior brothers are..."
The two men exchanged glances, and one of the monks said: "We are in Bingshe Zhouzi Room. I am Ge Hui, and this is Senior Brother Nie Zong."
The speaker's skin is slightly dark, and his brows are quite shrewd. As soon as he opened his mouth, he let Yu Ci know that he was also from the empirical department.
The Empirical Department is probably the one that pays the most attention to class differences among the four Lichen departments. During the past half month at Shanmen, Yu Ci felt that the monks in the Realistic Department always had the habit of stratifying and quantifying all methods and realms, not only in practice, but also in all aspects of life. .
Yu Ci lives in the Ten Thousand Dharma Jingshe of the Realization Department. The Jingshe is divided into four categories: A, B, C, and D. Each category is divided into eight levels: Xuanhuang, Xuanhuang, and Huanghuang. The disciples of the outer sect lived in Ding House, while the fourth generation disciples who had just achieved success in cultivation lived in Bing House. Houses A and B were the residences of immortals with cultivation levels above Buxu, and some with special qualifications. The fourth generation of outstanding disciples with particularly outstanding cultivation, such as senior brothers Zhou Yu and senior brothers Li Hong, the leaders of the empirical department, all live there.
With such a distribution, their respective status is clear at a glance. Even Yu Ci, a newbie who has just arrived, can deduce that these two senior brothers should be at the higher level of spiritual communication and are approaching the level of breaking through and returning elixirs. Slightly taller than him, but not substantially different.
Ge Hui and Nie Zong were also relatively polite. Although Nie Zong was not very talkative, he still gave Yu Ci a kind greeting. Ge Hui kept laughing: "Where are you going, Junior Brother Yu?"
Yu Ci said that he was going to Qiping Peak, and Ge Hui suddenly understood: "It turns out that Junior Brother Yu is also interested in Xuanli Qingtan. Today's Qiping Peak is titled 'Yin and Yang'. Has Junior Brother Yu done any research on this?"
"I just want to hear your senior brothers' opinions."
Yu Ci felt that Ge Hui's attitude was a bit strange, and did not want to go around in circles with him anymore, so he said: "Two senior brothers, please call me, what are your orders?"
"I don't dare, actually I want to ask for something."
Ge Hui and Nie Zong looked at each other, and it was the former who said: "The day before yesterday, a fellow sect named Dong Ji accidentally violated the sect rules and was locked up and taken to Wangyu Peak to face the wall. This book is nothing. But there was a misunderstanding, and the sentence that was supposed to be three months was actually extended to one year. And four months later, there will be the triennial 'Sword Garden' event, which cannot be delayed..."
Ge Hui spoke very logically and explained things clearly in a short time.
The so-called "Sword Garden" event is one of the "three-year exams" for the Lichen Sect to test its disciples. It is also a good opportunity to improve their cultivation. Yu Ci is not very clear about the detailed process, but he also I know this event is truly extraordinary. Almost all the monks who specialize in swordsmanship in the sect will not miss this opportunity.
Ge Hui and Nie Zong are obviously going to take part in this big exam, so Dong Ji is actually their partner. The three of them have similar cultivation levels and have an excellent tacit understanding. If people join forces, they can stand up to the Dan Huan cultivators. This was also the biggest reason for them to meet to take part in the big exam. But at this moment, Dong Ji was ordered to face the wall, which was a fatal blow to the trio, so Ge Hui and Nie Zong came over...
Yu Ci probably understood, not only what happened to the trio, but also what Ge and Nie were thinking, so he couldn't help but smile bitterly. Sure enough, Ge Hui then Says:
"I heard that Junior Brother is familiar with Junior Sister Meng from the Discipline Department. I wonder if you can wait for me? We should take it seriously..."
Before Ge Hui could reveal the price, Yu Ci interrupted him: "Brother Ge, let's not talk about my relationship with Senior Sister Meng. Just think about it, is the Senior Sister Meng who accepts favors still Senior Sister Meng? ”
Yu Ci said this very fluently. After saying this, before Ge and Nie could recover, he said "goodbye", turned around and left, and the two men did not catch up with them.
It wasn't until he walked quickly onto the Rainbow Bridge, stepped into the abyss and hung in the air, that Yu Ci took a breath.
The reason why he spoke so fluently was because this was not the first time something like this had happened in the past half month.
The instigator was none other than Li You. A few days after Yu Ci stayed in Wanfa Jingshe, that guy came to the door and said that he had accidentally violated the precepts. He was afraid that he would "get punished" for Yu Ci's death. Help talk to Mengwei. In fact, that matter was indeed dispensable. Yu Ci mentioned it casually, and Mengwei stopped arguing with Li You.
This matter was originally extremely common, but I don’t know if it was because of Li You’s big mouth or some other reason that he actually told the matter. It was exaggerated a lot as it spread. Now many people have spread the rumor. An outside disciple came to live in the Fa Jingshe, and he was able to save someone from the always unselfish Senior Sister Meng. The relationship between the two was extraordinary.
Things suddenly became complicated. This was the third group of people like Ge Hui and Nie Zong in the past ten days. In fact, those who broke the precepts and dared to ask for favors were mostly trivial things, except this time Except for Ge and Nie, who are somewhat serious, the other two may not have much hope. I'm afraid there are more curious and fun-loving thoughts.
It is these people who make the rumors become more and more absurd - of course, under Mengwei's serious and upright authority over the years, these rumors have a certain degree of absurdity. As for what people think in their hearts, that's all. It’s really hard to say.
Because of this incident and the incident in Cliff City, Yu Ci did not have a good reputation in the mountain gate. According to Li You, not everyone among the disciples of the Shanmen, especially the monks in the Realistic Department, may recognize him, but when it comes to his name, six or seven out of ten have "heard of it."
Shaking his head, Yu Ci walked up to the chessboard peak. The top of this peak is flat, and it is famous for the immortals holding talks based on this peak. It is where monks from the Academic Department usually lecture on scriptures and Taoism. At this time, there were more than a hundred people on the peak, standing or standing, distributed everywhere. On the only artificial building on the peak, "Lan Ke Pavilion", there were two people occupying one side of the mountain, quoting scriptures and talking loudly, which became everyone's eyes. center of note.
Yu Ci found an inconspicuous place to sit down. The two people debating in the pavilion were full of energy and spoke clearly, covering the tops of several acres of mountains, and they were not afraid of not being able to hear clearly.
However, not long after he sat down, Yu Ci discovered that his decision to come to Qiping Peak today was a little overestimating his capabilities. It’s not that I’m talking about anything else, but that the two people debating in the pavilion are both people with solid theoretical knowledge of spiritual practice and new interpretations of it. The “yin and yang” principles they debated are very important to Yu Ci, who has never received orthodox spiritual education. For people, it is actually quite difficult.
Yu Ci listened for a while, and the biggest gain was that he could only find a little bit of the "Legal Guixu Ginseng" and "Damen Yin Yang Method" taught by He Qing in the few words they said. "earned" is still far from it.
Sighing secretly, Yu Ci already knew the problem, so he didn't waste time here. Just as he was about to get up and leave, something happened in his heart. When he turned around, he saw someone among the spectators outside Lan Ke Pavilion casting his gaze over.
As soon as their eyes touched, Yu Ci frowned slightly.
This white robe is tied with a crown, and the figure is tall and straight, showing a very handsome appearance. But there are three slender scars on the left cheek, extending parallel from the temple to the nose, which greatly damages his handsome face. However, if you look closely, you can see that he has a strong and tough look, and he has a majestic demeanor that is rarely possessed by a white-faced boy.
Yu Ci recognized him. This man was Senior Brother Zhou Yu, the chief disciple of the fourth generation of the Empirical Department.
