Chapter 2 Rising Pace

After all, it is the heart of a child, and one moment he was still sad about the cattle herding baby who left home, and the next moment he shifted his attention to the flying sword under his feet.

The flying sword is long and long, wide and close to a ruler, with carved patterns, yin and yang depictions, and it is extremely heavy when you look at the metallic luster, but it can be as light as a flying swallow, and it flies manned, and the little head of the cow baby is puzzled.

The cow herd was about to ask a question or two, but when she looked up, she saw that Lao Dao's face was pale and bloodless, so she didn't dare to ask more.

The two of them flew away with a sword for a long time, and when the cow herd baby was about to fall asleep, they slammed into it, and then they realized that they were already down-to-earth.

Looking up, the clouds and mountains are ethereal and empty.

Could it be that this is where the old Taoist said that the Five Elements Gate Mountain Gate is located?

I can't have been deceived by some charlatan, right?

The cow baby was still thinking about it, and two figures shot in the distance, and after seeing the old way around the cow baby, he moved faster, and bowed down after standing still, and called him "Elder Yuanxu". This somewhat reassured the cowherd baby, and secretly thought to herself: It seems that her future master still has some weight in this so-called Five Elements Gate.

"Take him down, so that he can be settled. ”

Dropping this sentence, the old Taoist who claimed to be a real person of Yuan Xuan burned his ass and disappeared.

This not only made the cowherd at a loss, but the two of them didn't expect this kind of thing, but that Yuan Xuzhen was an elder of the Five Elements Sect, but the two of them didn't dare to disobey his words, but how to place the rustic little kid in front of them?

The point is, what is the relationship between this child and Elder Yuanxu?

took a deep look at the cow herder, and the two of them breathed a sigh of relief.

This is just a mortal with no cultivation, maybe it is a miscellaneous boy recruited by Elder Yuanxu from the world, right?

"I'm afraid it's a mortal who the elder saved with his hand. One of them talked to himself casually, and the cow herd was stunned for a while, but when he thought that he was indeed saved by the old way, he didn't say anything to defend himself. His silence became a tacit acquiescence in the eyes of the two men, and the man continued to ask, "Boy, what's your name?"

"The surname is Xiao, Xiao Qingyun!"

The cowherd baby - Xiao Qingyun, tried his best not to be arrogant or humble.

"Xiao Qingyun, hmph! The name is decent! Let's go, I'll take you to your accommodation." ”

As he spoke, the man released his flying sword and motioned for Xiao Qingyun to follow him.

The flying sword is nearly five feet long and only half a foot wide, which is undoubtedly a lot smaller than the flying sword of Yuanxu Old Dao, but it also makes Xiao Qingyun greedy, and he doesn't know when he will be able to have his own flying sword. Xiao Qingyun's daze made the man very impatient, grabbed it to the sword casually, and sped away with the laughter of his companions who gloated.

Xiao Qingyun was really taken aback, but soon, he forgot about the fright, and instead was deeply shocked.

The flying sword burst out of the breath of only three breaths, the tip of the sword seemed to touch a layer of water waves, after the "wave" shattered, the object in front of the eye changed sharply - or rather, it was completely a change of world: the white clouds are still the same, but in the endless high sky, the green mountains do not change, all strange flowers and plants, layers of mountains and rivers, pavilions and buildings, occasionally there are white cranes flapping their wings, golden scales swinging tails, from time to time there are colorful sword lights flying from different peaks to other peaks, it is really a good fairy atmosphere!

It turns out that this is the real Five Elements Gate!

After less than a quarter of an hour, the man stopped his sword on a rather low peak.

"This is the residence of the newly miscellaneous disciples, you are so self-conscious!" Pushing Xiao Qingyun down from the flying sword three feet above the ground, the man quickly left without looking back, and his voice of implicit warning came from the air, "Settle down! Don't make trouble for us, otherwise you will look good!"

Although Xiao Qingyun was pushed off the flying sword and was not injured, he was also puzzled by the second monk for a while: when did he become a new miscellaneous disciple?

I just raised my eyes and didn't know anyone, I didn't know who to ask where Yuan Xuan was, and I remembered the warning of that person, so I didn't dare to make a mistake for a while, just thinking that this was the old Dao master's test of himself, or the master's assessment of the new disciples.

Just when Xiao Qingyun was looking around, someone had already come up to settle him, obviously there were new disciples who came to report from time to time, and Xiao Qingyun was at ease when he came.

Although the mountain peak is low, there are many spare stone houses, and there are all kinds of daily utensils, so Xiao Qingyun can live in peace.

I don't want to live for ten days, until Yuanxu Lao Dao comes to the door.

"What are you doing here!?"

Yuan Xu's complexion has improved a lot, but his face is a little ugly, which makes Xiao Qingyun suffer a lot, could it be that he did something wrong?

Before Xiao Qingyun could figure out how to deal with it, Yuan Xuan seemed to have guessed something, pulled Xiao Qingyun and rushed to the sky, and went straight to the deacon hall outside the Five Elements Gate.

"Huangfu Wei, you are so big and guts! How dare you send my disciple of Yuan Xuan to be a miscellaneous servant!?" Pointing to Xiao Qingyun's nose that day, Yuan Xuan calmly asked: "Who gave you the dog guts? Is it possible that your Huangfu family wants to climb on the head of my Lu family?"

"The elder is angry! The disciple really doesn't know this...... This little junior brother turned out to be your old ......" Before Huangfu Wei finished speaking, Yuan Xuan scolded angrily again: "Senior brother, who the fuck is your junior brother? Although this kid hasn't started cultivating yet, but my Yuan Xu's in-house disciple is an inner disciple, how can you be an outer disciple to be his senior brother? Or do you not have my Yanzhu Peak's first Yuanxu real person in your eyes at all?"

"This ......" Huang Fuwei's face changed again and again, seeing that Yuan Xuan was about to go crazy again, he gritted his teeth and saluted Xiao Qingyun: "Outer disciple Huang Fu Wei visits Xiao ...... Senior Brother Xiao, please also have a lot of Senior Brother, don't blame Little Brother for his unintentional mistake before!"

From the beginning to the end, Xiao Qingyun didn't say a word, not that he wanted to pretend to be deep, but that he didn't know what to say. Although Xiao Qingyun is not familiar with the world, he is not stupid, after Yuanxu made such a fuss, how could he not know that he was looked down upon by Huangfu Wei, but at this time, seeing that Huangfu Wei, who was a little older than him, bowed down and apologized to himself, although Xiao Qingyun felt happy, he didn't know how to deal with it.

No matter what, Xiao Qingyun is just a twelve-year-old child, not to mention that he was just a cowherd baby before, and he really has no experience in dealing with this kind of scene.

The gaze of asking for help swept towards Yuan Xu, and seeing his unfathomable expression, Xiao Qingyun couldn't help but be stunned.

With a flash of inspiration in his heart, Xiao Qingyun had already made up his mind.

"Senior Brother Huangfu, right? Those who don't know are not guilty, and I blame that I didn't make it clear in advance, as long as Senior Brother Huangfu doesn't praise and step on low in the future. Xiao Qingyun said it was an understatement, old-fashioned, but there was a cold sweat in his tightly clenched fists. Huang Fuwei's face was pale, but he had to bow his head and promise: "Thank you, Senior Brother, for ignoring your past suspicions! The virtue of Senior Brother's teachings today is remembered by Huang Fuwei, and it is unforgettable!"

"This matter is over, let's go!"

Casually shaking his hand and waving away the imperial guard, Yuan Xuan took Xiao Qingyun to break through the clouds.

Xiao Qingyun's heart gradually calmed down, and he looked back at Huangfu Wei who was standing in place, and he suddenly realized: He is no longer the cowherd baby he used to be!

He Xiao Qingyun, today can be regarded as real - a steady step!

Yanzhu Peak, Yuanxu Cave Mansion, Yuanxu Zhenren sat upright in the hall.

"Although Huangfu Wei is a disciple of the Huangfu family, he is only a side disciple, and he has some talent when he cultivates to the ninth level of Qi cultivation, and what is even more rare is that he can pull down his face to admit his mistakes and surrender to you, a person who has no cultivation, but he is quite a bit of a city government. Slowly drinking the fragrant spiritual tea, the corner of Yuan Xu's eyes swept the young man in front of him for a moment, Xiao Qingyun hurriedly replied: "That's all because of the master's remarkable prestige!"

"Hehe, the son can be taught!" Yuan Xuzhen Zhenren smiled heartily and asked instead: "It's because the teacher is confused, I don't know what your surname is, how old are you this year?"

"The disciple's surname is Xiao, his name is Qingyun, and he is twelve years old!"

"Oh......"

Yuan Xu's expression did not move, he didn't seem to care about his disciple's surname, and he casually pulled Xiao Qingyun and put a true qi into Xiao Qingyun's body.

Xiao Qingyun felt a warm current rushing in from the vein of his right hand that was pulled by Yuan Xu, along the arm to the chest and abdomen, and then slowly down to the lower abdomen, and then from the back to the top of the head, and finally disappeared from the vein of the left hand, only to feel sour and itchy, and almost couldn't help laughing.

Just looking at Yuan Xu's increasingly ugly look, Xiao Qingyun couldn't help but feel a sinking in his heart.

"Master, but ...... But what's wrong?"

"Hmm...... Although there is some disappointment, it is reasonable. After a thoughtless reply, Yuan Xuan was silent again, and after a long time, he said again: "Your spiritual root can't even be called unsatisfactory, but it can barely be cultivated." ”

"Linggen?"

"Your spiritual root has all the five elements, and it can be regarded as the most inferior. ”

Yuanxu Zhenren did not explain the so-called "spiritual root", but in the most direct way, he gave Xiao Qingyun a dismount.

Hearing this, Xiao Qingyun clenched his hands tightly, and his face was cloudy.

"If someone else is like you, this seat will definitely not bother him to go up the mountain, but as the teacher said, you have a relationship with the teacher. Although your spiritual root is poor, but diligence can make up for your clumsiness, as long as you devote yourself to the Tao in the future and build a successful foundation, you can also get away with it for three hundred years, do you understand?" Seeing that Xiao Qingyun's eyes gradually became firm, and his expression was resolute, Yuan Xuan nodded and continued: "Qingyun's name is too utilitarian, and it is useless to cultivate the Tao, so you will change your name to 'Xiao Mian', self-encouragement and self-improvement, so as to live up to the immortal fate between the teacher and you." ”

Although Xiao Qingyun was a little reluctant to hear this, he still nodded in response.

From now on, he will be Xiao Mian.

Yuan Xuan didn't care about this, and with a wave of his hand, three things appeared on the small coffee table next to him.

An ancient book, a small porcelain vase three inches high, and a small black disc.

"The ancient scroll is the "Five Elements Qi Formula" of the foundation building method of this door, which is simple and easy to build. I see that you are also literate, so I took it back for my own reference, if you don't understand, you can come to me at any time to ask for advice; the porcelain bottle contains 'Gu Yuan Dan', which will help you consolidate your foundation and strengthen your physique; as for this magic weapon...... "Seeing Xiao Mian's eyes staring at the disc, Yuan Xuan took it in his hand and threw it in the air, and the disc that was only the size of a fist grew with the wind, becoming like a grinding disc, and it was fixed in mid-air. Xiao Mian couldn't close his mouth, so he listened to Yuan Xu's explanation: "The name of this thing is 'Mixed Yuan Stone', although it is a mid-level magic weapon, it is also quite powerful, so I will give it to you." It's just that if you want to make this magic weapon, you must have at least four levels of Qi cultivation, and you have to work hard. ”

"Thank you Master for your favor, Qingyun-no! Xiao Mian will definitely repay Master for his kindness in the future!"

"Let's wait until you build the foundation. Glancing at Xiao Mian inscrutablely, Yuan Xuan summoned the Taoist boy under the seat, pointed at Xiao Mian and said: "This is Xiao Mian, a newly included disciple of this seat, and I haven't had time to report to the sect, so you can take my order and go to the inner deacon hall with him, so as not to embarrass your senior brother Xiao with an idler." ”

"Yes, Senior Brother Xiao, please come with me. ”

"Thank you, junior brother!"

Respectfully saluting Yuan Xu, Xiao Mian followed the boy and left.

For a while, there was only one person left in the huge cave mansion, Yuanxu Lao Dao.

For a long time, Yuan Xuan made a casual gesture at the screen behind him, and a figure appeared behind the screen.

I saw that the man was only weak in age, tall, well-proportioned, and his face was not handsome, but he was also heroic, and his instrument was magnificent.

"Chengfeng, what do you think?" Yuan Xuan seemed to be very close to the young man, his tone was casual, and the young man was also blunt: "Although this kid is young, he can be regarded as well-founded, neither arrogant nor humble, but is his spiritual root qualification really that bad?"

"It is indeed complete with the five elements, and it is the lowest spiritual root of the cultivation path!"

"In that case, grandpa, why do you still accept him as an entry?"

But it turned out that this young man was Yuan Xu's own grandson, surnamed Lu Chengfeng.

"Chengfeng, grandpa is two hundred and forty years old this year. Although the monks in the foundation building period are known as having a lifespan of 300 years, my grandfather hurt his origin and damaged his foundation in his early years, and I am afraid that he will not live to the end of his life, and he will only have a lifespan of less than 20 years......"

"Grandpa, you are now the top level of cultivation in the foundation building period, and it is only one step away from the legendary Jindan Avenue, as long as you can successfully marry the Dan, you can get five hundred years of yang life, why waste your energy on this kid?" Seeing that his grandfather shook his head, Lu Chengfeng's face was full of doubts, and then he suddenly thought of something, and exclaimed with disbelief: "Could it be ...... Could that boy be able to ......?"

"The time has not yet come, the secret of heaven must not be revealed! You just need to take a good look at him for me! If there is nothing else, go down first......"

“...... Yes, my grandson obeys!"

Following Yuan Xu's order, Lu Chengfeng turned around and walked out of the cave.

Only Yuan Xuan always sat upright in the hall, his eyes slightly closed, and he did not say anything.
