Chapter 563 I Almost Gave It Away for Free! I Returned to the Mountain for Free, Senior Brother!
Zhang Huaiyi got up from the bed, straightened his robes, adjusted himself, and came to the Sanqing Hall of Qingyun Temple.
Sanqing Hall is not only the main hall of Fenguan, but also the place where morning classes are done.
When he arrived, everyone in Qingyun Temple had already arrived. Everyone was sitting in their respective seats, washing their hands and burning incense, preparing for morning rituals.
"Little Gao Gong is here, sit down quickly, don't forget the Taoist morning class. After the morning class, after breakfast, Xiao Gao Gong will start again. From here to the main altar, it only takes more than half a day to perform the work of a horse and a god! "
The owner of Qingyun Temple said with a slight smile, his face looked like an ordinary person, there was no stiffness in his conversation and laughter, as if the terrifying scene he saw last night was just a nightmare.
But Zhang Huaiyi shouldn’t be dreaming.
He breathed steadily and completely controlled all his reactions without making any mistakes. He showed the reaction that a shy little Taoist should have, and answered the words of Qingyun Temple Master in a reserved manner.
Afterwards, he sat down in his seat and waited for the morning class to begin.
During this period, two Taoist priests also came to talk to him, showing their yearning for the Tianshi Mansion's main altar, and asked some questions, and he responded to them one by one with a normal expression.
If it were yesterday, he would not have felt anything unusual, but now, he only felt that the two people's questions were a little dull and deliberate.
In order to avoid asking the wrong questions and putting the two paper Taoist priests in the awkward position of being unable to answer, causing unnecessary variables, Zhang Huaiyi did not ask too many questions.
Not long after, the morning class officially started. Everything was as smooth as yesterday, except that the Taoist classics recited in the morning class had changed.
Moreover, he also keenly discovered that there were several errors in the Buxu rhyme of the master of Qingyun Temple when reciting scriptures.
Maybe it can't be said to be wrong.
Because of this tone, he had also heard it from the morning and evening classes of several seniors from Tianshi Mansion, Lao Gao Gong.
At that time, there were senior brothers who attached great importance to Taoist rituals and stood up to correct me.
Lao Gaogong's answer was that there was nothing wrong with the rhyme and accent. It was the way it was when they learned it, but the contemporary Celestial Masters had changed some of the pronunciations because they believed that it had a more Taoist rhyme.
The Buxu rhyme tune is the tune used by Taoists to sing in the void during fasting rituals. It symbolizes walking around in the void when worshiping the Holy Spirit at the Golden Tower in Yujing. The tune is characterized by mysterious words and mellow accents. There is an ethereal feeling of regular ups and downs.
It can be said that the Buxu rhyme tune is similar to the Buddhist Sanskrit tune.
It is naturally impossible for Zhang Huaiyi to stand up and correct the mistakes in Qingyun Temple's tone.
He secretly thought that the age of Lord Qingyun was far different from those of the old masters. It was impossible for him to follow the Bu Xu rhyme of the previous generation. It was indeed the traitor of the Tianshi Mansion who had been sealed away for hundreds of years.
In other words, yesterday's morning and evening classes, and even the rigidity of breakfast and dinner, in a sense, are the rules of the Tianshi Mansion a hundred years ago reappearing?
The master always said that it was the senior brother who ruined the atmosphere of Longhu Mountain and made people's hearts unhappy!
From this point of view, the source of the corruption in Longhu Mountain still lies with him.
Thinking of this, Zhang Huaiyi quickly restrained his divergent thoughts and concentrated on this morning class at Longhu Mountain a hundred years ago.
Unlike last time when he was absent-minded, this time he was very involved.
The master of Qingyun Temple who was giving the lecture also sensed this investment, and thought to himself, this little Taoist priest looked around during class yesterday morning and evening, why is he so immersed in it this morning?
Could it be that yesterday I was unsure about the seal and felt worried, but today after it was confirmed, I felt calm?
However, no matter what, this is a good thing. The other party was immersed in the morning class, which shows that he is letting down his guard. In other words, he fooled himself and did not find the problem.
There are many spectators in Longhu Mountain. Apart from the must-go occasions like the Luotian Dajiao, like the annual Dajiao altar ceremony, there are some people who have something to do. As long as there is no large-scale death incident in the branch temple, the main altar will be opposite to the branch temple. All are in a state of stocking.
As for the conditions for opening the Luotian Dajiao...except for the request of the emperor, it will only be held when the heavenly master changes.
Nowadays, the empire has collapsed, there are no emperors, and no one invites Longhu Mountain to Kailuo Tiandajiao anymore.
And I learned from that boy that the current generation of Celestial Masters is full of energy, unlike short-lived people. It is estimated that the replacement of the position of Celestial Master is still early.
In other words, Longhushan will not notice him for several years, and he will have a long time to recover and grow.
By the time they noticed him again, they might have already switched between offense and defense.
Recalling the love I had back then, I could immortalize the Celestial Master's way, but the position of Celestial Master I missed back then...
…………
Zhang Huaiyi, who was in an immersed state, was keenly aware of the subtle changes in the mood of Master Qingyun.
"What happened? Is this change a test or an accident? How should I deal with it?"
Immediately afterwards, he also discovered that not only the master of Qingyun Temple, but also the state of other Taoist priests who were attending the class were also affected.
"This situation is a bit serious. It's probably not a test. It's just that the manipulator behind the scenes is unstable."
"If you are still like this at this age, no wonder you will fall into the trap of total nature. In the final analysis, you have not practiced enough!"
Zhang Huaiyi thought about the countermeasures. Judging from his shy image, he could pretend that nothing happened.
But if the other person's emotions are getting louder and louder, and the people around him are getting more and more out of control, wouldn't it be very inconsistent if he is out of tune?
You can't bet that the other party can adjust in time, you still have to give a reminder.
After thinking about this, Zhang Huaiyi opened his eyes and said:
"Master, the vastness of the way of heaven is beyond the comprehension of ordinary people. Master once said that heaven and earth are the reverse journey of all things, and time is the passerby of generations. You and I only need to be clear and correct, and do our duty well. , Don’t think wildly and get carried away!”
The Master of Qingyun Temple paused, his expression became serious, and he made a gesture to Zhang Huaiyi:
"Been taught a lesson."
He adjusted his mood and continued teaching, and the people around him also returned to a state of trance.
Soon, the morning class ended successfully, and everyone moved to the dining hall to have breakfast.
In the past, perhaps just now, Master Qingyun and Zhang Huaiyi had many conversations.
Most of the questions were asked by the master of Qingyun Temple, and Zhang Huaiyi answered them. The questions were about trivial matters in Longhu Mountain, and Zhang Huaiyi naturally responded with fluent answers.
However, it is always a bit abrupt to ask only one side, and the whole play needs to be done. Zhang Huaiyi replied:
"Master Guan, you are a senior, and you are much older than me in practice. How do you practice?"
Shushu is still a thief. Although the person opposite is sometimes emotionally unstable, he is still an old man. These hundred years of practice naturally have its own secrets. He might be able to reveal something useful without even asking. Suffer.
Master Qingyun Temple smiled and said: "When it comes to spiritual practice, in my opinion, it is nothing more than eating and wearing clothes."
"How do you say this?" Zhang Huaiyi asked.
The master of Qingyun Temple said: "Why do we, the Celestial Master, require us to be silent when eating and silent when sleeping?"
Zhang Huaiyi sneered and said nothing. What year was this rule? Why didn't he know? Our Tianshi Mansion was very busy eating.
Master Qingyun Temple continued: "It means that when you want to eat, just eat, concentrate on it, don't think about anything else, because when we put down other distracting thoughts and concentrate on eating, the food will not fall into the esophagus and the food will be consumed. It’s faster and more helpful for nourishment.”
"Of course, the deeper meaning of this move is to develop the habit of single-mindedness. When doing other things in the future, it will be easier to concentrate, calm down, and enter concentration."
"Entering concentration is the first level of internal cultivation. Those who enter deep concentration will make great progress with each passing day..."
The master of Qingyun Temple knew that she had entered the evil path. In order to avoid making mistakes if she spoke too much, she only talked about some basic principles taught by her master back then.
Zhang Huaiyi had heard of some of these principles and not of others, but he finally got some inspiration.
Soon, the food was served, and the atmosphere of conversation on the table disappeared instantly, and everyone ate in silence.
Based on the content of the previous conversation, Zhang Huaiyi did not doubt that he was there and started eating.
After eating, everyone else in Qingyun Temple went about their duties, and he bid farewell.
Master Qingyun Temple wanted him to leave quickly, so of course he had no objection, so he immediately agreed and personally sent him out of the city.
When they arrived at the gate of the city, Master Qingyun Temple took out an object from his arms and handed it to Zhang Huaiyi.
Zhang Huaiyi took it over and saw that it was a pair of armored horses. It was a piece of yellow paper just a little bigger than a palm, with complex patterns printed on the edges. In the center was a little man galloping on a horse, with the words "White Clouds Rising" written on it.
Although the art of armor and horse is easy to use, the grade in the talisman is not high. Even if you are not taught the talisman, you can draw it as long as you know the method. As for the effect, everyone depends on their ability.
"Master, you're welcome, I have a horse here!" Zhang Huaiyi patted the package on his body.
"No problem," the leader of Qingyun Temple said with a smile: "There is no shortage of armor and horses, but the drawing of talismans will always take some effort. This pair of armor and horses was carefully drawn by a poor Taoist, and the effect is far superior to ordinary armor and horses. If you step on it and go back, it will be faster, and maybe you can catch up with the main altar for lunch! "
Although she was deprived of the talisman, she was still quite confident about the talisman. There were not many people in the world who could draw talismans better than she did.
Having said this, Zhang Huaiyi couldn't bear to refuse. He thanked him, took the armor and horse, and recited the magic formula.
"I hope to invite the six gods Liuding and Liujia, the flying gods of white clouds and cranes. The clouds under my feet are as fast as the wind, just like I am flying in the blue sky. I am ordered by the Nine Heavens Xuannv to take pictures."
After he finished reciting, he took a step forward and, like an arrow from the string, he was shot far away in an instant. The speed was so fast that Zhang Huaiyi couldn't help but let out an "ah" and his body fell back.
Originally, with his control over himself, this situation would never happen. No matter how fast he was, he could still maintain balance.
But when it comes to disguise, you have to do it right. With the ability he has shown now, something should go wrong in this situation.
Of course, it is not advisable to use too much force. If you fall down, it would be too deliberate. Therefore, he just shook a little, adjusted his body shape, and continued on his way.
"Everything is normal. It even makes me a little uneasy. Could this kid be lying to me?"
Master Qingyun watched Zhang Huaiyi go away without any expression on his face. The sunlight in the sky shone on his face, and you could see that his face was becoming rough and terrifying at a speed visible to the naked eye.
On the other side, Zhang Huaiyi was driving his armored horse in a hurry, so fast that he was speechless.
The master of Qingyun Temple gave him a horse speed that was actually a few points faster than his senior brother's.
"I used to think that my senior brother was all-powerful, but now it seems that drawing talismans is his shortcoming!"
Zhang Huaiyi was a little happy to find his senior brother's weakness, but then he became dejected.
If the talisman is my senior brother's shortcoming, then I am not good at it. I am not proficient in this at all, so what's the joy?
It’s better not to feel secretly sad about this aspect, but to make great progress together with Thunder Method and Golden Light Curse.
Of course, it would be better if you could get other powerful spells.
After all, in terms of golden light spells and thunder spells, my senior brother has a higher level of cultivation and faster progress. If he pursues it hard, I am afraid that he will never be able to match it in his lifetime.
But where do powerful spells come from? Is there any spell more powerful than thunder in this world?
Zhang Huaiyi asked himself.
Then, a figure appeared in his mind.
If you look into it carefully, it seems that there really is.
When he was at Yinghe Tower, wasn't his thunder spell cracked by the person nicknamed Don't Want Bilian?
It seems that he can also break the thunder method of his senior brother...
Zhang Huaiyi was thinking about it when he suddenly felt an extremely vague chill appear behind his back.
"This is……"
He didn't think it was an illusion and immediately became alert.
However, even though he was very energetic, his appearance did not show any signs of it, and he was still walking leisurely, as if he was unaware of everything.
"This cold air is a test from Master Qingyun? Is there something behind me?"
Zhang Huaiyi was confused, so he followed the terrain and turned a few corners without leaving a trace, but the cold meaning behind him followed him like a shadow, without the slightest feeling of being thrown away.
"You can follow him so closely. It doesn't feel like you are following someone, but more like it is attached to your body. Is it the armor on your legs? Do you want to let it go?"
As soon as this idea came up, Zhang Huaiyi rejected it. If you walk a hundred miles, it may be half a mile. This may be a temptation. The master of Qingyun Temple may be peeping in the dark. If you throw it away now, wouldn't it be a failure?
"A gentleman hides his weapon within himself, but I will endure it!"
Zhang Huaiyi endured the coldness in his back and continued on his way as if there was no one around.
But the cold feeling behind him was getting worse and became more and more obvious. It was entrenched on his back like a gangrene on the bones, making the skin under his robes rippling.
At this moment, if he turned his head, he would see a terrifying paper head with eyes hanging behind him.
Under the paper man's head, two invisible energy strings flew out and connected to the armor of his legs, as if he was running with a balloon shaped like a human head.
At the same time, Temple Master Qingyun, who was spying secretly, had a cold light in his eyes.
No response to this?
I increased my influence. Logically speaking, given his strength, he should be aware of it and should not be so indifferent.
The yin energy was permeating people, but he ignored it and just rushed on his way. This was not in line with common sense. Could it be that he was just pretending?
Just when she thought this, she saw Zhang Huaiyi, who was speeding, suddenly stop, turned around suddenly, looked behind him, and said to himself suspiciously:
"What's going on? Why is there a creepy coldness behind my back?"
As he spoke, he took out the Chaos Yuan Ming Chi from his arms, held it between his two fingers, and waved it around.
Seeing this scene, the sinister and terrifying face of Master Qingyun immediately relaxed. Yes, that's how it should be. There's nothing wrong with this kid.
Immediately, he waved his hand, and the head hanging behind Zhang Huaiyi floated away like a kite with a broken string.
"Strange, what's going on? That feeling has disappeared, is it an illusion?"
Zhang Huaiyi murmured to himself with a suspicious look on his face. He took the talisman and pretended to check it around. After making sure that there was no problem, he started again.
The rest of the trip went smoothly, and he didn't encounter any strange incidents. However, he did not relax his vigilance and maintained a state of disguise throughout the entire journey.
Walk straight to the foot of Longhu Mountain, enter Sanqing Town, and enter the mountain gate archway of Tianshi Mansion.
The moment he stepped across the archway, the armor on his legs was scrapped and turned into a ball of black ash.
Zhang Huaiyi looked at the black dust on the ground. The distance between the armored horse and the horse was actually right in front of the archway of Longhu Mountain.
Thinking of the cold and bone-chilling feeling before, his face turned ugly.
This pair of armors will soon have other hands and feet. If they behave abnormally in the middle, some extremely terrifying things may happen.
"But it's all over!"
Zhang Huaiyi muttered to himself. Although he said this, the experience of the past two days made him dare not relax and continue to maintain the previous state all the way up the mountain.
It wasn't until he saw Zhang Zhiwei sitting in a pavilion on the mountainside, bragging to a group of junior brothers, that his tense expression suddenly relaxed, and a strong sense of security enveloped him.
Safe, completely safe!
He ran towards his senior brother, his heart was so excited that there was a slight stagger in his steps.
"Oh, Huaiyi is back, how is it? Is everything going well?"
Zhang Zhiwei noticed him and greeted him with a smile.
They are all members of his own family. Zhang Huaiyi did not hide his emotions and said with a sad face: "It didn't go well, it didn't go well at all. Junior brother, I almost gave it away for nothing."
