Chapter 693

693 Sword of will

Dan chenzi carried the empty bottle and slowly returned to the temple. Along the way, the Taoist priests and female Taoist priests respectfully called dan chenzi senior brother, which made him regain some confidence.

He took his time to wait for the bruises on his face to subside. As a top S-Class, his external injuries would recover in an instant. It was not good to go back to the temple with this face, as it would destroy the image of ” senior brother Dan chenzi.

“One or two of you are so desperate.” Dan chenzi responded to the greetings of his fellow disciples while whispering, ” what era are we in now? living a carefree life with quality is the pursuit of modern people.

What was there to be proud of when he was often on the edge of life and death? it was not the era of martial arts.

As a disciple of Dao sect, one must follow the will from the heart, cultivate one’s character, become one with heaven, and live a long life. This was the fundamental pursuit of cultivation.

He strolled back to his yard and pushed open the door to the house on the right. There were all kinds of miscellaneous items in the room, and a large VAT was placed in the corner. The mouth of the VAT was tightly sealed with a rubber band wrapped with hard plastic cloth.

Moving away the outermost sandbag, loosening the rubber band, and opening the plastic cloth, dan chenzi used a spoon to scoop a spoonful of red wine. He took a sip first, then drank it all in one gulp. He smacked his mouth and said, ” it’s delicious.

Since last year, he had tried to make his own wine, which was the most common kind of farm-level rice wine. At first, he was a novice and his skills were not up to standard, so he did not succeed.

This was his third VAT. After summarizing his previous two failures, he finally produced a successful product.

This was to deal with the old Taoist, who was a drunkard. The old Taoist didn’t drink wine or beer, but only white wine and yellow wine, or what he often said about the signature craft of demonic priest Wang Chen: Peach blossom brew.

Dan chenzi thought about it and thought that instead of racking his brains to get him wine, it was better to brew it himself and do it himself. The old Daoist appreciated his idea and felt that it was feasible.

This jar of wine had not been brewed yet. It still needed a period of fermentation, but it could not withstand the initial sweet taste. Dan chenzi would come every day to drink a little, a little, and a little more … Unknowingly, half of it was gone.

Dan chenzi thought of his agreement with the old Daoist. He stood in front of the wine jar and hesitated for a long time. who cares? carouse’s life is over.

He filled the empty bottle with red sweet wine and left happily.

Dan chenzi spent most of his time wandering around. In the summer, he read under the shady trees. In the winter, he curled up in his bed and slept. In such a bright spring season, sitting on the rocks surrounded by wildflowers, basking in the sun and drinking wine was the most comfortable choice.

As a carefree, pure-hearted Daoist priest, he would not spend too much time on Qi cultivation and visualization.

With the wine bottle in his hand, his large sleeves fluttered in the wind as he walked out of the Taoist temple in the warm spring Mountain wind. He walked to the top of the mountain, planning to drink under the big Pine tree and enjoy the scenery. It was a quiet and peaceful afternoon.

The mountain wind brought the fragrance of wild flowers and the awakening of the soil, as well as the faint fragrance of the beauty.

Under the huge pine and cypress tree, on the rock, stood a woman with her hair tied up high and her Daoist robe unable to hide her voluptuous figure.

Her face was fair, and her cheeks were rosy. Her facial features were delicate, and she had a gentle temperament.

Junior Sister Qing Huizi, ” dan chenzi strode over and sat down beside her. I’m sorry, I didn’t bring my cup.

“No drinking is allowed in the temple,” Qing Huizi shook his head and said in a soft voice.

“I’m out now.” Dan chenzi’s indifferent tone. He had never thought of sharing the sweet wine with Qing Huizi and was just being polite.

How could women be more important than wine?

No one spoke. Dan chenzi drank his wine, enjoyed the refreshing wind, basked in the sun, and enjoyed the beautiful scenery.

Qing Huizi remained silent and looked into the distance, his watery and bright black eyes filled with deep worry.

“You seem to have something on your mind.” Dan chenzi said.

After a moment of hesitation, Qing Huizi nodded. the Supreme headmaster gave an order yesterday. All the disciples of Shangqing who are traveling outside should return to the mountain immediately. If they don’t return for more than a week, they will be regarded as betraying the sect and their names will be cleared.

Dan chenzi was shocked, ” there’s such a thing? How come I didn’t know about this?”

Qing Huizi lowered his eyes slightly and looked at him. Senior brother Dan chenzi, have you ever paid attention to the affairs of the temple? ”

Dan chenzi suddenly felt a little embarrassed.

He was a top S-Class, so he should have been able to hold power in Shangqing sect and be the heir to the sect leader. However, he had been wandering outside the power Circle of the Shangqing sect, not dealing with Affairs, and leisurely all day.

“Before the moon falls and the wind blows, I am free and unfettered. I’m a free cloud and a wild crane, so I don’t care about the fleeting years.” Dan chenzi said leisurely.

Qing Huizi continued. my brother didn’t respond. I couldn’t get through to his phone. He didn’t reply to my chat software either. After he left the mountain, he didn’t contact the sect or me again. It’s like … It’s as if he has evaporated from the world.”

dan Yunzi has only left the mountain for more than a month. He’s not a child who misses home all day. It doesn’t mean anything that we can’t contact him for the time being. Dan chenzi comforted.

but if he doesn’t receive news from his master and can’t get here in a week … Qing Huizi bit her lip, looking pitiful and delicate.

“Then renounce asceticism.” Dan chenzi was a pure-hearted man, so he did not arouse the man’s gentleness.

“However, why did the sect leader call back the disciples who were traveling?” Dan chenzi was puzzled by this.

Qing Huizi shook his head. it’s probably because the outside world hasn’t been peaceful recently, ” he guessed. the Hierarch wants me to go back to the sect to avoid trouble.

The so-called ” not very peaceful ” naturally referred to the little things that happened in baoze.

……

On the mountainside, there was a simple mud house.

An old bamboo chair was placed in an empty space in front of the mud hut. The old Daoist lay on the table and chair, basking in the warm afternoon sun. His face and skin reflected the sunlight, making it black and shiny.

Li peiyun glanced at the old Taoist and walked around the mud house. On the left was the bedroom, with a simple wooden bed and a thin quilt. On the right was the kitchen with a clay stove. Beside the stove was a large VAT for water, and beside the water vat was a small vat for rice.

The old Daoist rarely had meat and fish, because although the mud stove was covered in black ash, it did not appear greasy.

This reminded li peiyun of the poor and backward rural areas in the 1960s and 1970s.

The Shangqing sect was a big sect in the Taoist and Buddhist Association. Every year, they received a generous amount of government funding and dividends from tourist attractions. They were not short of money.

There was no need to let an old man live such a poor life.

Li peiyun left the mud house and thought about it. “I can give you a few tens of thousands more for the apprenticeship gift.”

“What’s the use of money to me?” the old Daoist sneered.

“You can buy wine.”

“You’re sincere …”

Li peiyun immediately said, ” how should I cultivate the yin spirit? and then refine it into the sword of will, like dan chenzi.

Dan chenzi is an exception.

“An example?”

The old Daoist looked at him. dan chenzi has had split personalities since he was a child. If you want to learn, you can try to have a split personality first.

‘This …’ Li peiyun’s face was dull, and a strong sense of loss welled up. At his level of cultivation, his will was firm. How could he suffer from split personality?

Then he thought of another question. Since he couldn’t be like dan chenzi, then what was the point of learning from the old Daoist?

Hey, can I get a refund?

“But I can guide you in your practice of the sword of will.” The old Daoist said.

“Guide me!” Li peiyun subconsciously raised his eyebrows, showing a proud and unsociable look.

The reason why he wanted to be a master was that he wanted to learn dan chenzi’s variant, special sword of will. But if it was the normal version of the sword of will, li peiyun didn’t think he needed anyone to teach him.

He could rely on himself to self-study the Tri-elements sword technique and step into the half-step Gokudo path as a genius, a proud Son of Heaven.

Pride was one of his greatest characteristics.

“It’s always better to have the guidance of a great teacher than to study by myself.” The old Daoist said, ” the outside world calls you the demonic priest’s inheritor. In fact, you have not received the corresponding guidance. You have to explore and figure it out on your own.

“I have a deep relationship with Wangchen, so I’ll give you some advice on his behalf. If it was someone else, I wouldn’t have taught them.”

Li peiyun said helplessly, ” senior, your mental power may not be as strong as mine. How can you teach me? ”

After he finished speaking, he saw the old Daoist burst into laughter. In the wild laughter, he raised his skinny right hand, put his fingers together like a sword, and pressed them between his eyebrows.

This was the opening move of the sword of summoning, which li peiyun was familiar with.

He did not make a sound and quietly prepared his defense.

The old Taoist’s sword fingers paused, and after a short accumulation of power, he pointed at li peiyun.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Li peiyun heard the Thunder, which reverberated and occupied his sea of consciousness. The next moment, he had no thoughts and his consciousness fell into boundless darkness.

……

In March, the night began to slow down. After dinner, Qing Huizi did not return to her own courtyard. Instead, she walked on a small path paved with green stone slabs, planning to find the brother and sister’s master, Tong hai Zhenren.

In front of the three pristines Hall, he met dan chenzi, who was frivolous and wandering around.

Looking at the vegetarian meal in dan chenzi’s hand, Qing Huizi said softly, ” Senior brother Dan chenzi.

Her gaze fell on the lunchbox.

“I’ll go bring food to the old senior.” Dan chenzi said.

Qing Huizi nodded, and the two of them brushed past each other.

She entered the nearby courtyard of Daoist master Tong hai.

Squeak …

The wooden door made a sound that made one’s teeth ache. The small courtyard was quiet. Qing Huizi looked left and right. The door was tightly closed and no light came out of the windows.

Master is not here?

She was about to leave in disappointment when she suddenly heard a rustling sound.

It was as if someone was stuck in their throat with thick phlegm, so painful that it was difficult to breathe.

The sound came from her master’s room. Qing Huizi came to the door and called out, ” “Master?”

No one answered, and the rustling sounds in the room became more intense.

Qing Huizi’s heart sank. He pushed open the unlocked door and saw a Daoist priest with disheveled clothes and messy hair kneeling by the bed. He clutched his throat in pain and made a gurgling sound.

The room was dark, and her hair was disheveled. She couldn’t see her face clearly, but she immediately recognized that it was her master.

“Master, what’s wrong …” Qing Huizi was shocked and quickly went forward to check.

At this moment, Tong hai Zhenren raised his head. It was a face as ferocious as a wild beast’s, with ugly blood vessels protruding from it. His skin was so red that it looked like blood was about to drip out, his white teeth were dripping with saliva, and his pupils had turned Scarlet, sinister and brutal.
