Chapter 24
Chapter 24
Shang Qing accepted Han Yudi, and felt that he should comfort the children: "You use an epee, which is different from ordinary sword blades. You can't just learn all the moves in the book. You should make a choice." "Gui Yun In "Sword Jue", there are not only light swordsmanship such as "stepping on the moon and climbing the clouds", but also vigorous moves such as "black clouds crushing the city", and I will tell you slowly later."
Yan Zhifan immediately regained his energy, bent his eyes and smiled: "Brother is so kind!"
Shang Qing did what he said, and when he came back from class that day, he found the full set of "Guiyun Sword Art" hidden in the sword hut, and found out the sword moves that were biased towards strength and suitable for epee, and removed some of the requirements for body skills. The very high brisk moves made a new cheat book for Yan Zhifan.
Yan Zhifan's aptitude is not top-notch, but his enthusiasm is very high. Although he has been used to Jingui since he was a child, he never complains when he practices swords.
In addition, Yan Qi also began to watch him practice the sword from the sidelines, giving advice from time to time, and within half a year, Yan Zhifan had also practiced "Guiyun Sword Art" to a decent level.
In the blink of an eye, it was already December. Although Chonghuazong said that it was like spring all the year round, it never saw snow.But every year in this season, the weather will still turn slightly colder.
As the end of the year was approaching, Chong Hua Sect gradually became busy.
The annual Zongmen Dabi is about to begin, and the peaks and valleys will also sort out the affairs of the year at the end of the year. On the last first day of this year, they will go to the ancestor's ancestral hall to worship.
As for the missionary school, the end-of-year exams will start in the first few days of December, and then there will be a whole month of vacation for these new disciples to participate in the activities of the sect.
Shang Qing didn't panic about the exam at all, he was serious in class, even if everyone had a rift with him in the medical class, they couldn't deny that he did study well.
As for the kendo class, Shang Qing was surrounded by disciples asking questions in the few days after he learned the exam time, and was almost drowned in it.In the end, it was Yan Qi who took the shot and lifted him out of the crowd.
Shang Qing couldn't bear to look at the classmates who were waiting for him to talk about the key points, so he simply made something similar to "betting questions before the exam" based on his habits in his previous life.
In fact, for Shang Qing, the courses of the missionary school have long been unable to keep up with his progress.
Qin Che taught him the way of medicine. In the past six months, Master Zizhu of the missionary school had just finished the first volume of the Tai Su Jing, and Shang Qing had finished the third volume. After the exam, Qin Che was going to start teaching him. It's volume four.
Besides the way of swordsmanship, after half a year, Shang Qing finally realized deeply that his innate sword body is indeed extremely talented.
After the first few days of adaptation, Shang Qing looked at the sword manual again, and it seemed that there were not only words and patterns in his eyes, but lifelike movements.
A sword technique, where to start, where to draw the sword, how the blade moves, and which angle the blade should lean towards.
All the problems were already understood by Shang Qing when he started practicing swords.
In addition, Yan Qi often fought swordsmanship with him, the two of them went back and forth, making moves, and Shang Qing could always learn a lot from them every time, which was of great help to his swordsmanship.
It takes five years for ordinary disciples to practice "Guiyun Sword Art", and two years for those who are talented, but it only takes half a year for Shang Qing to fully understand the movements and changes of the sword. .
Shang Qing sometimes thinks that if the disciples of the missionary school are like a group of middle school students who have just entered school, then he is equivalent to inviting two university professors to make up lessons at home every day.
Today was the day when the missionary school announced the results, but Shang Qing got up a little later than usual.
Yan Qi is not here today. In the past six months, he would occasionally leave the Chong Hua Sect for two days. It is probably because there is something to deal with at home, and everyone is used to it.
After breakfast, Shang Qing found that Yan Zhifan was secretly sleeping in while he didn't have to go to class.
So he smiled and went to the missionary school alone to check his grades.
As soon as Shang Qing entered the gate of the missionary school, he met a few students from the kendo class. They often came to talk to Shang Qing on weekdays, and they were familiar with each other.
So when I saw Shang Qing from a distance, I greeted him with a happy expression, it seemed that I did well in the exam.
"Senior Brother Shang, you really won the first place! Congratulations."
Shang Qing smiled, like a peach blossom in spring breeze: "Thank you, you also did well in the exam, right?"
"All of us got the first grade. I heard that the kendo class exam was difficult, and I was still worried. Fortunately, Brother Shang is usually willing to answer our questions and solve our problems, so we can get such a good result."
Shang Qing said: "It's nothing more than a little effort."
Several people chatted for a while, and learned that Yan Zhifan also did well in the exam, second only to Shang Qing, and got No.2 in the Kendo class.
Shang Qing continued to walk into the Missionary Academy, and first passed the dormitory for the class "First Knowledge of the Immortal Way".He stood behind the crowd watching the results, glanced at the list from a distance, and saw his name on the list.
Also number one.
As expected by Shang Qing, after all, "First Knowledge of the Immortal Dao" talks about the basic knowledge of the Immortal Dao.Although he doesn't like to listen to the boring things, but fortunately, he still has many common sense things in his memory. Before the exam, he read a few books to stimulate his memory, and he will be able to pass the exam with ease.
Having won the first place in two courses, Shang Qing was in a good mood, and her steps were much lighter when she walked.
He went all the way forward, turned to the left, and arrived in front of the dormitory of the medical department.
This time Shang Qing didn't even need to look at the list first, just looking at the indescribable expressions of those Tai Sufeng disciples, Shang Qing was already happy.
There is a saying that goes well, if you are not happy, I am happy.
Now they are so unhappy, it must be because I won the first place.
"Tch, get carried away."
There was a voice in the crowd who wanted to scold but didn't dare to speak out loudly. If it wasn't for Shang Qing's listening skills, he might not have heard it.
"Why, won't I be allowed to smile after taking the first place in the exam? It's too domineering, isn't it?" Shang Qing's eyes fell on the top of the list, and the corners of his lips curled up when he saw his name, with a smile that was not a smile.
No one spoke this time, and the voice just now didn't sound again, but they could see their angry eyes.
After all, they still remembered the power of the sword formation back then, and even though they hated Shang Qing, they didn't dare to do anything outrageous to him.
Before Shang Qing left, he suddenly added a sentence: "If you are really not convinced, you can also go back and complain to your senior brothers and sisters. How about seeing you at the Zongmen Grand Competition?"
As soon as these words came out, it was as if gravel had fallen into the bottom of the water. Although there was not much reaction on the surface, the bottom of the water was already turbulent and mixed with mud and sand.
Shang Qing was not afraid of how muddy the water at the bottom of the pool was, he did it on purpose.
It is not only to relieve anger, but also a blatant provocation.
Although it was half a year ago that Tai Sufeng's disciples intended to besiege him last time, and they didn't dare to make trouble publicly after that, Shang Qing thought he was a very vengeful person.
Usually, if it's nothing serious, it's over when it's over, and Shang Qing doesn't bother to care about it.
But if someone touches the string in his heart, then I'm sorry, no matter how long it takes, he will remember it, and he must wait for a chance to return it, otherwise he will be sorry for his hard work before.
What's more, the grievances between Tai Sufeng and Long Yuanfeng probably go beyond the rift between Shang Qing and his disciples.
Qin Che has been reluctant to bring up the past, but Shang Qing can guess some clues from the gossip in the past six months.
——Qin Che should have been Tai Sufeng's disciple in the past, and his status was not low.
——Qin Che has a deep enmity with Ning Yuxin, the current master of Taisu Peak. He left Taisu Peak and became a disciple of Longyuan Peak, which must have something to do with Ning Yuxin.
——Qin Che once mentioned by chance that Sword Master Yun Yan had accepted him as a disciple in the first place just to save his life.
Shang Qing later learned about the mountain guard sword array on Longyuan Peak, and understood the reason behind it.
Qin Che became Long Yuanfeng's direct disciple, then his name would be engraved into the heart of the formation.
Then, just like Shang Qing, once Qin Che was in danger in the Chong Hua Sect, the sword array would activate by itself.
Even if Ning Yuxin is the inner elder of the Chonghua Sect, she would never dare to try herself.
So what happened on Taisu Peak back then?
Shang Qing once calculated that when he was brought back to Chonghuazong by Sword Master Yunyan, Qin Che was already Longyuanfeng's second senior brother, so the changes that happened to Taisufeng were at least four or fifty years ago.
I'm afraid only those with a little experience will know about this matter.
Shang Qing was thinking while walking, when he was walking back to the door of the Missionary Academy, he was suddenly stopped by someone.
"Hey, are you Senior Brother Shang from Longyuan Peak?"
The voice was crisp, Shang Qing turned his head and saw a green-clothed girl with a double bun running towards him.
Shang Qing: "It's me."
The girl listened in front of Shang Qing, she was about fourteen or fifteen years old, with willow eyebrows and almond eyes, matched with a green dress, she was pretty and cute.
There was some anxiety in her round eyes, and she stroked her hair embarrassingly: "I am Danzhu from Baicao Valley, and I would like to ask Senior Brother Shang to help me."
Shang Qing listened to her continue.
It turns out that Danzhu is the little niece of the peak master of Baicao Peak. Although she is still young, she still manages seven or eight fields of high-quality medicine in her hands.The end of the year is approaching, and according to Baicao Valley's habit in previous years, all spiritual herbs and medicinal materials will be picked in early December, so that they can be handed in and recorded at the end of the year.
Danzhu should have started picking a few days ago, but she was playful and stayed in Fufeng City for a few days, almost forgetting about it.
Seeing that there is still one day left before the date of handing in, the picking of Danzhu is only one-third completed.
If this time passed, my own medicine field alone would not be able to finish picking, and I was afraid that I would be scolded by my aunt who had just come out of retreat.
But at this time, the brothers and sisters are all busy with the same things as her, and there is no way to free up their hands to help her.
Moreover, the spiritual plants in the high-grade medicine fields are quite precious, and ordinary disciples can't do the work of picking them, let alone find someone to help them.
So Danzhu thought of someone.
On weekdays, she also often went to Hongtai Trading Company in Anlefang to buy and sell, and got acquainted with Hong Niangzi.I have heard Hong Niangzi praise several times, saying that the spiritual herbs produced by Longyuan Peak in the past six months are all top grade, with skillful techniques and excellent appearance, but unfortunately the output is too little.
"I heard Hong Niangzi mention Senior Brother Shang, so I want you to help me pick the medicinal materials. This is my entrustment, and I will pay one-tenth of the value of the medicinal materials." Dan Zhu looked up at Shang Qing, afraid that he would He refused, so he said again, "Brother, please save the child! I really don't want to be scolded."
Shang Qing looked at the tears in the little girl's eyes, and thought that Yan Qi was not here today, and the time for practicing sword moves could really be freed up to help her, so he nodded and agreed: "Okay, then you take me there now?"
Danzhu: "Thank you, Brother Shang!"
After asking Shangqing to help, Danzhu's footsteps became easier when he led the way, and led Shangqing up to Baicao Peak bouncing all the way.
As soon as you enter Baicao Peak, there is a faint taste of bitterness and sweetness in the wind.
The terrain of Baicao Peak is flat, and the medicinal fields are criss-crossed. Occasionally, there are some brightly colored exotic medicinal herbs among the verdant green spirit grasses. The medicinal fields are full of busy figures of disciples.
The weather has turned cold, but the whole mountain is still warm, and even the aura seems to be stronger than other places.
Danzhu is the little niece of the peak lord, and also the direct disciple of the peak lord. His residence and the medicine fields under his jurisdiction are near the peak.
Shang Qing followed Qin Che to take care of the medicinal fields for half a year, and picking medicinal materials was already handy for him, so he didn't panic when he saw the high-quality medicinal materials in the medicinal fields of Baicao Peak.
The light bamboo is picked from the other side.
Shang Qing kept moving his hands, raised his head and roughly counted the number of medicine fields.
Normally, it would take him and Qin Che two people to pick the Ten Directions Medicine Field in Longyuan Peak, and it would only take about a day.Now she has harvested one-third of Danzhu's medicine fields, and there are still about five squares left, which may be completed in the afternoon.
Halfway through picking Danzhu, he accidentally raised his head to look at Shang Qing, and exclaimed: "Senior Brother Shang, you harvested the spirit grass so fast, you are better than my elder sister! I thought she was already the best. "
Shang Qing raised his head and smiled, and hooked another complete spirit grass between his fingers.
Danzhu is playful on weekdays, and is easily distracted when doing things.At this time, she was embarrassed to be lazy, and she was not slow to get serious.
So, the two of them really finished picking all the herbs before the afternoon.
Dan Zhu packed all the medicinal materials in green bags, then invited Shang Qing into the house, put the food that he had brought back from the previous outings on the table in front of him, then got up and made a pot of tea for Shang Qing .
"Brother Shang, please take a rest. I'll go and give the medicinal materials to Auntie, and I'll rescue them right away." As he spoke, Dan Zhu stuffed a brocade bag containing fairy jade into Shang Qing's hand, and then took the other few Qing Tang went out.
Shang Qing weighed the brocade bag, and there were two thousand immortal jades in it, which was partly more than what Danzhu said earlier.
Not less but more, this little girl is too real and sincere.
Shang Qing smiled, took a sip of the tea, and felt that the taste was sweet and soft, with a slight medicinal fragrance.
He had been busy in the medicine field for most of the day, and he was indeed a little hungry, so he picked out a few things on the table to eat.
The food that Danzhu brought back was also exquisite and delicious, but Shang Qing felt that he was probably taken by Yan Qi, and no matter how he ate other dim sum, he felt that it was not as delicious as the cook of Yan's family.
"Hey Senior Brother Shang!" Danzhu came back not long after she left.Holding the door frame with her hand, she was a little flustered when she spoke, and it took a long time before she finally made it clear: "Well... my aunt said she wanted to see you, are you going?"
Shang Qing thought to himself, the Lord of Baicao Peak didn't seem to have any enmity with him, so it wouldn't hurt to meet him.
Following Dan Zhu to the peak master's residence, the first thing that caught Shang Qing's eyes was a pill furnace with a mysterious body and golden feet. There were three colors of fire floating under the pill furnace, but it did not affect the surrounding temperature.
The Lord of Baicao Peak was sitting beside the alchemy stove, fanning the Green Feather Peacock Fan in his hand one after another.
"I just finished being scolded, so I won't go in." Danzhu hurriedly slipped away without waiting for the Lord Baicao to raise his head.
The surname of the master of Baicao Peak is Zelan, and people in the world often call him "the Immortal of Medicine" or "Fairy of Zelan".
She is a beautiful young lady with long and narrow phoenix eyes, red lips, and a dark blue brocade dress.Seeing his little niece slipping away in a hurry, he waved the feather fan in his hand vigorously, and said angrily: "This girl is running really fast."
After she finished speaking, she coughed lightly, straightened her hair bun, put down the feather fan in her hand, and called Shang Qing to come in: "Dan Zhu is playful and delayed the time to collect the medicinal materials, I will trouble you."
"No trouble, I accepted the entrustment to help, and I should do it." Shang Qing was a little embarrassed, after all, he received Danzhu's reward, which was considered a transaction.
After hearing this, Jun Zelan smiled and said, "I just want to let that girl spend some money, so she will have a long memory in the future."
After finishing speaking, she quietly looked at Shang Qing, seemingly in a daze.
"Peak Master?" Shang Qing tried to call her.
"Ah, I haven't seen you for a long time, and I can't help but think of some things when I was young." Jun Zelan withdrew her thoughts and asked with concern, "I have been in retreat since last year, but I missed the day when you came back. This is all in the past It's been more than half a year, do you have any difficulties on weekdays?"
Shang Qing thought for a while and replied, "Everything is fine."
Hearing what he said, Jun Zelan felt helpless and pitiful: "You are still the same as before, reporting good things but not bad ones, and saying good things but not bad things, it really makes people feel uneasy."
She stood up and took out a three-inch square pear blossom wooden box from the alchemy cabinet behind her.
"This is a furnace of nine-revolution spirit-gathering pill that I refined the year before last. You are not in good health now, so using it to maintain your meridians may be useful." Jun Zelan put the pear blossom wooden box into Shang Qing's hands, and patted it like an elder. Pat the back of his hand, "It's strange to call Peak Master, just call me Shishu as you did when you were a child."
Jun Zelan said it lightly in her words, but the Jiuzhuan Juling Pill is the secret recipe of Baicao Valley, which can help people break through the realm.It is said that this elixir can only be opened once every five years, and each furnace can only be made into three pills. It is often priceless in the market, and it is hard to find.
Shang Qing felt that this thing was precious, but if the elders insisted on rejecting the gift, it would destroy the friendship.So he took the pear blossom wooden box carefully, and said seriously: "Thank you, uncle."
Jun Zelan talked with Shang Qing for a while, chatting, she looked far away, unconsciously recalling the past.
"At that time, the four of us from the same school all worshiped under Ziyang Patriarch. Your master Yun Yan studied swordsmanship, I studied alchemy, my eldest brother Jun Qianzi studied law, and Ning Chuyue studied medicine.
"Later, we stepped into the realm of transforming gods, each in charge of a peak, and became the sword master, the medicine fairy, the Taoist king, and the medical saint. At that time, outsiders even combined a title called 'Chonghua Four Lords', which sounds real. Some silly.
"But having said that, it was indeed the most energetic age at that time. Even the master once half-jokingly said that the four of us were the best disciples he had ever led."
When Jun Zelan said this, there was a nostalgic smile on the corner of her mouth.
It's just that at the end, a tear rolled down her narrow and beautiful eyes unexpectedly.
A hundred years later, the old man disappeared.
In the past, the Chonghua Four Monarchs, now there are only two brothers and sisters left.
Jun Zelan bent her fingers and quickly wiped the corners of her eyes, as if nothing had happened: "Hey, when you get older, it's always easy to hurt the spring and the autumn, so let's not talk about these things."
Shang Qing noticed a very important message.
Among the four masters of Chonghua, Yun Yan is his master, Jun Qianzi is the current head of Chonghua sect, and Jun Lanze is in front of him.There was only one doctor, Ning Chuyue, whose name Shang Qing had never heard of.
Ning Chuyue, Ning Yuxin.
Medical saint, little medical saint.
After thinking about it, Shang Qing probably guessed that Ning Chuyue was probably the previous peak master of Tai Su Peak.
He raised his head and asked suddenly: "Uncle, can you tell me about Ning Chuyue?"
Jun Zelan pondered for a moment, and probably understood why Shang Qing asked this question, she said: "...Is it because of Qin Che?"
Shang Qing nodded: "Brother has been in poor health, and I don't dare to ask him about the past."
"Speaking of it, it's been almost 50 years." Jun Zelan said slowly, "That year, the Snowy Heavenly Palace, one of the seven secret realms of Chengtian Realm, was opened, and Ning Chuyue took a hundred disciples of Taisu Peak to the secret realm. It was a smooth journey, but at the end it was attacked by Zhulong.
"That Candle Dragon is a divine beast. It has survived four or nine days of calamity, and its cultivation level is no different from that of a Mahayana monk. In an instant, the dragon flames in the Immortal Palace were filled with poisonous mist, and the sky collapsed and the earth fell.
"Ning Chuyue used her true energy as a guide to forcibly connect the Xueyu Immortal Palace with another small secret realm near the Chonghua Sect, and sent the disciples out, but she couldn't step into it because she wanted to maintain this passage..."
When Jun Zelan said this, her eyes slightly closed, and she let out a long sigh.
After sorting out her emotions, she continued: "Qin Che was originally Ning Chuyue's eldest disciple, but unfortunately he was burned by the poisonous mist caused by the dragon flame in the Heavenly Palace and burned his whole body's meridians. He lost his life and half of his cultivation, but he could no longer condense his spiritual breath, and he stopped on the road of cultivation from then on.
"Later, Ning Yuxin became the peak master, and Qin Che injected a strange poison into Ning Yuxin during the succession ceremony, which almost killed her. After Ning Yuxin was rescued, she wanted to execute Qin Che on the charge of 'harming the teacher' , but was stopped by Yun Yan.
"From then on, Qin Che became Long Yuanfeng's second disciple, and Tai Sufeng also turned against Long Yuanfeng."
Shang Qing probably made things clear: "Brother, why did you poison Ning Yuxin?"
"He didn't believe that Ning Chuyue died in an accident, and insisted that Master was killed by Ning Yuxin, but... there was no evidence to prove it. Ning Yuxin said that Qin Che was infected by the dragon poison and hurt his heart." Nerves, delusions inevitably appear in the brain, which is why they are so crazy.
"In addition, Ning Chuyue and Ning Yuxin are from the same family, and they are also brothers of the same father and mother. The parents of Ning's family also said that their brothers have a good relationship and have never had any quarrels. They also refused to believe Qin Che's one-sided words. So , this matter can only be left alone in the end.
"Qin Che probably couldn't accept this result, so he chose to do it himself."
Shang Qing asked Jun Zelan: "Then Shishu thinks who is telling the truth?"
Jun Zelan rubbed her forehead and shook her head: "Emotionally, I should trust Qin Che, but intellectually, there is really nothing to prove his words. It is really difficult."
Shang Qing nodded. In fact, he may not be able to have a clear answer: "I understand, it's just a casual chat, and the uncle doesn't have to take it to heart."
As Jun Zelan said.
As far as Yu Qing is concerned, he is willing to believe Qin Che's words and stand on his side unconditionally; but as the judge, it is impossible to find Ning Yuxin guilty without any evidence.
Unless overwhelming evidence can be found.
"Hey, I just wanted to meet you today, but I ended up talking about so many old things." Jun Zelan smiled lightly, and was about to change the subject to say something happy, but suddenly heard a slight crackling sound from behind.
Her complexion changed, and she hurried to look at the alchemy furnace with a mysterious body and golden feet.
"I'm sorry." Jun Zelan said inwardly, and quickly picked up the green feather peacock fan that was put aside, and swayed a light green breeze, extinguishing the three-color fire under the alchemy furnace.
She lifted the top of the alchemy furnace, and saw a pure golden light radiating from it.
But after Jun Zelan saw it, she showed a dumbfounding expression: "What's the matter, the quality of this thing is really good, but what I practiced was originally the Huanyan Pill, how come it turned into a Huanyan Pearl?"
The refining of high-level elixir is extremely sophisticated and complicated. Even a top elixir like Junzelan will inevitably produce some unexpected things when he is distracted sometimes.
But Shang Qing was thinking, it turns out that fairies are still keen on beauty and beauty just like ordinary girls, even the "medicine fairy" Jun Zelan is no exception.
But yes, there is a saying that is good, who is not a little fairy?
Jun Zelan took out the Huanyan Pearl, looked at it for a long time, then looked at Shang Qing, and suddenly smiled: "I don't need this thing, and it will be ashes if I put it there, so I might as well give it to you."
Shang Qing: "Huh?"
"Don't underestimate it. The Huan Yanzhu can change the bones and change the appearance, and even the voice can change accordingly. As long as you want to, you can create a peerless beauty who can overwhelm the country and the city." Jun Zelan suddenly became excited, and gave Shang Qing science popularization played the role of the magic face pearl, "This magic face pearl is of extremely high quality, as long as you don't disclose other information, absolutely no one will be able to see the flaw."
Shang Qing looked at the Magic Face Bead stuffed into his hand, and thought to himself, is it really so magical?
Jun Zelan is obviously very confident in her alchemy skills, and the more she talks, the more outrageous she is: "If you don't believe me, you can go back and try it. If you see through the disguise, I will eat this alchemy furnace in front of everyone!"
Shang Qing: ...Uncle Master is very cruel to him.
