Chapter 7: The Book of Mt. A
PS: Today's first update
Zhang Yan walked around Cangzhu Peak all night, checked the inside and outside of the cave, and knew the situation in his heart.
Hanyuan Cave Mansion has about 30 acres of land, there is a big hall in the middle of the mountainside, used to gather disciples, teach and confer merits, and there are more than 100 houses, but most of them are not swept and repaired, and there is no prohibition to support, so most of the roof tiles are broken, the cobwebs are dusty, not only can not see the atmosphere of the monastic sect at all, but show a decaying atmosphere.
In fact, this can't be blamed on Chu Muran, Shen Baishuang didn't think much about it at this time, since he left, the mountain gate has lost the biggest supporting pillar, and it is not easy to maintain it, where do you have the heart to care about those uninhabited places scattered in the mountains.
These are actually just trivial matters for cultivators, but as a cult of cultivation, there have been no disciples for decades, and even the external things needed for cultivation are scarce, and that is a matter of life and death.
If it is in Donghuazhou, it doesn't matter, not to mention the ten sects of Xuanmen, it is among the second- and third-rate sects, there are also jade liquid pools, Lingbei Disha, even if the disciples in the door are closed for a hundred years, they are also unhindered in their practice.
However, this is not feasible in Dongshengzhou, where monks can only buy foreign things if they need to go to Xiancheng.
The person who is in charge of the immortal city in Shenwu Mountain at the moment is the Yuanying real person of the Asan faction, so tired that the Chu Dao people have to send their disciples to buy the immortal city within the boundary of the Chu country, but because the road is too far, this is a great risk, and if you are not careful, you will be easily robbed and killed by the evil monk halfway, and Senior Brother Zhao will almost die this time.
All in all, the Hanyuan Cave can be called internal and external pressure at the moment. If Zhang Yan had been here for more than ten years, I am afraid that even the Taoist system would have to be severed.
Zhang Yan stood on the top of the peak, looking at the rising sun, and couldn't help but think in his heart, "Since the head of the family ordered me to open a mansion here, it seems that I will stay in Dongshengzhou for one or two hundred years, and I should manage this place with my heart." ”
He said to Wang Caiting, who was standing behind him, "Apprentice, go and invite Senior Brother Chu." ”
Wang Caiting answered, and flew away with her feet on Xuanguang, not long after. The Chu Dao people came in a hurry.
Zhang Yanyan said: "I invite my junior brother to come." There are a few things to explain. ”
Chu Daoren said respectfully: "The lord of the mansion commands. ”
Zhang Yan said: "The periphery of my temple is small and too cramped, and the teachers and disciples are in the same place, and the order of generations is not distinguished. But it's not right. ”
As soon as the Chu Dao people heard this, they said. Curse yourself. Why can't I even think of this, I have to wait for Zhang Yan to remind him, and said in a panic: "It's the little brother." Now that the senior brother is the lord of the mansion, he should give up the cave mansion. ”
Zhang Yan said with a smile: "Senior brother misunderstood, I have the 'Seven Treasures Great Pavilion Tower' given by Senior Uncle Shen, which can gather spiritual energy, no less than a blessed land, Senior Brother Chu, your cave mansion is better for your own use." ”
Chu Dao people were surprised, and asked a few more words, only to know that Zhang Yan was going to open a few more caves in the mountains, but he secretly complained in his heart, but he didn't expect that this mansion master was a good face, and the construction of the palace needed to use spiritual wood and stone, beautiful jade and glass, but this is a lot of money, but where can I get the spirit shell at the moment, but the mansion owner is just coming, how can this first thing go against his intentions, thought about it, gritted his teeth and said: "Yes, the little brother will definitely finish this matter." ”
The reason why Cangzhu Peak got its name is because there are dozens of thousand-year-old Cangzhu trees growing in this mountain, and this wood takes a branch down, which is the best treasure material for refining the magic weapon flying boat, but a hundred years ago, when the Hanyuan faction and the disciples of the Asan faction fought the law, they were won by most of them.
There are only three young trees left, because they are inside the mountain gate, they can be preserved, but there is no spiritual liquid to moisten, and if they want to grow, I am afraid that they will have to wait for hundreds of years, but now he has to hit the idea to the top.
Zhang Yan said with a smile: "This matter is not urgent, but there is another thing that has to be arranged as soon as possible." ”
Chu Dao's heart tightened, and he hurriedly said, "Please show the mansion master." ”
Zhang Yan said: "I look at the forbidden formation of the mountain, the formation flag is simple and sparse, the aura is dim, if you encounter a strong enemy, it will not be long, a faction of the mountain gate ban is particularly important, if you can't even guard the mountain gate, how can you teach the Tao?"
Chu Daoren smiled bitterly: "Mansion Lord Rongyu, there is no one in my faction who is so good at formation, there is a formation map in the immortal city, but the number of spirit shells required is hundreds of thousands, but there are so many in the door, so I can only do it first." ”
The mountain gate prohibition is best combined with the earth's leylines and spiritual machines, which requires people who are good at formations to arrange, because it involves the root of the door, which is not suitable for outsiders to come, and the foundation of Hanyuan Cave is still shallow, there is no such person, and it can stand for more than two hundred years without incident, in fact, it also depends on Shen Baishuang's residual power.
Zhang Yan smiled and said: "I have a little experience with the forbidden formation, you can choose a few disciples to come here, I have my own arrangements." ”
Chu Daoren was stunned at first, and then he was overjoyed, and said excitedly: "The mansion master is also proficient in the formation, which is really my luck for Hanyuan." ”
At this time, I suddenly saw a cloud of smoke flying up the peak and falling down, Wen Daoren walked out from the inside, and said loudly: "Senior brother, the lord of the mansion, there is a Zhang Zhenren outside the door who has come back with Senior Brother Zhao." ”
Chu Daoren was pleasantly surprised: "I don't know what happened to Senior Brother Zhao?"
"After taking the pill, it's fine. ”
Chu Daodao: "Then don't you call him over to meet the mansion master?"
Wen Dao said hello and immediately took the order.
After a while, three lines of smoke flew from the peak, and after falling, Zhang Boyan walked out first, shook at Zhang Yan, and then retreated to the side.
Wen Daoist let go of his body, revealing a person, but it was a Taoist priest with a short body and a high crown of cloth shoes, this person had a flat face, small eyebrows, and a sparse beard, and he didn't look amazing, but when he saw Zhang Yan, he was slightly cramped, and Shi Li said: "Zhao Ge, a disciple of Hanyuan, has seen the master of the mansion." ”
Zhang Yan smiled and said, "Senior brother, please get up." ”
He said a few words gently, Zhao Ge was just submissive, and asked who the person who attacked him was, but he was an unclear person, obviously introverted, and not good at words.
Zhang Yan didn't care, and after calming down, he said: "Senior Brother Zhao is seriously injured before he recovers, so it's not appropriate to be tired, and go back to recuperate first." ”
Zhao Ge bowed his head and thanked him, and retreated.
Chu Daoren sighed and said: "Senior Brother Zhao is an honest man, he shouldn't have gone to buy this time, but Senior Brother Wen is impulsive and reckless, and the younger brother needs to sit at the mountain gate, so he has no choice but to go by him, but he doesn't want to almost hurt him." ”
Zhang Yan asked, "I don't know how long this junior brother lives?"
Chu Daoren pondered for a moment and replied: "When Senior Brother Zhao entered the disciple of his teacher, he was only a child in his teens, and he was only more than two hundred and thirty years old. ”
Zhang Yan nodded and said with a smile: "I look at this junior brother, but his qualifications are above those of Senior Brother Chu and Senior Brother Wen, but the exercises he practices are not in line with himself, so he is delayed. ”
Chu Dao people are not easy to answer, the Xuangong practiced back then was passed on by Shen Baishuang back then, Zhang Yan has a different identity and a high cultivation, so he can bluntly say that it is inappropriate, but as disciples, they must not comment on the teacher's behind their backs.
Zhang Yan didn't dwell on this topic too much, he took out a piece of rune paper from his sleeve, used his finger as a pen, cast a spell in the air, and after a cup of tea, he took it off and handed it to Chu Daoren, saying: "There are three exercises in this, and the three junior disciples can take it and practice." ”
As one of the top ten disciples, he has already seen the most advanced five skills and three scriptures in the Mingcang faction, but this method cannot be passed on lightly, but he once read the classics in the Jingluo Academy, but he knows a lot of superior exercises, so he simply selected a few suitable for three people to practice and passed them on.
Chu Daoren immediately guessed that these three exercises must be on top of the methods he had previously learned, and his heart couldn't help but be greatly excited, and he carefully put them in his arms and put them away.
Zhang Yan glanced at it and said, "Senior Brother Chu doesn't have a sleeve?"
Chu Daoren's old face turned red and said, "Senior Brother Zhao went to Xiancheng to buy spiritual objects, so he lent them to him. ”
Zhang Yan turned his head to Wang Caiwei and said, "Caiwei, wait for three sleeves and send them to the three junior brothers' cave mansions." ”
Chu Daoren hurriedly thanked him.
Zhang Yan bowed slightly, and said: "Senior Brother Chu, if you are bothered, you will send it to Asan for me, and ask that Yongzhen person to meet another day." ”
Wen Daoren listened, but stood up excitedly and said, "Senior brother, is this an appointment with Zhan Yongfu?"
Then he said hatefully: "The one who hurt Senior Brother Zhao this time must be a disciple of Ashan! The lord of the mansion should not be polite to him!"
Zhang Yan smiled and didn't answer, he saw very clearly, everything inside the door was actually not in a hurry, but the external crisis of the Asan faction needed to be solved first.
However, judging from the previous questioning, the Asan faction's methods are actually not fierce, and in the past two hundred years, there has never been a head-on conflict between the disciples of the two factions, and it is obvious that there are people with bottom lines.
They would never be unaware of the situation of the Hanyan Sect at this time, even if Zhao Ge came back with some foreign things from the cultivation path, he would definitely not be able to support it for several years, and he had waited patiently for more than two hundred years, and he would not be unable to wait for these days.
Although Zhao Ge was seriously injured, the Lingbei on his body was not robbed, which explained from the side that it was not the Asan faction, and there must be another reason.
Chu Daoren saw that Wen Daoren was excited, and he kept shouting there, he looked at Zhang Yan carefully, but he scolded: "How the mansion master arranges, he has his own reason, how can it be your turn to put the beak?" ”
Wen Daoren was stunned, his face was stupid, but he didn't dare to say anything more.
Chu Daoren turned around and said, "The junior brother will go now, does the mansion master have anything else to say to the younger brother?"
Zhang Yan smiled and said, "You can tell that fellow Daoist that he can choose the place to meet." ”
Chu Daoren nodded in response, then immediately said goodbye to the peak, returned to his own cave mansion, put the three exercises into the ban and put them away, turned around and was about to go out, but he patted his forehead and said: "Senior Brother Zhao and Senior Brother Wen have both exercises, how can I forget to mention improving my junior brother? With his qualifications, if he can enter the main law of the mansion, he will definitely be able to soar to the sky." ”
After thinking about it, he called a disciple and said, "Go and call your senior uncle, and say that I have something important to talk to him." ”
The disciple had gone for less than a stick of incense, so he turned around and said, "Master, Uncle Gao has just come down the mountain, and I don't know where he went." ”
Chu Daoren frowned, and said in his heart: "At this time, what is he going to do when he goes down the mountain?"
