Chapter 81: Master Canxia

Chapter 81: Master Canxia ( words)

The white chicken and the jade rabbit touched their necks and chirped in the air.

Cheng Xinzhan was stunned, and Zhou Qingyun stared blankly with red face.

Taoist Master Jianxian held the thunder talisman in his hand, not knowing what to do.

"Who is causing trouble?"

A female voice came down from the top of the mountain, and then the rosy glow all over the mountain turned into a giant hand, which grabbed the three men and their swords and lifted them to the top of the mountain.

The pine forest on the peak is not big, with only a hundred or so trees, but each tree is twisted and sturdy, and every pine needle is glowing green.

In the pine forest, there is only a small wooden house. Opposite the wooden house, there is an ancient lying pine tree as thick as a water tank. On the pine trunk, there is a Kun Taoist sitting cross-legged.

This female Taoist was wearing a red crane robe and a heavy mountain crown on her head. She looked to be around forty years old. At this moment, her eyes were slightly closed and she was holding a green feather magic fan in her hand, which she was waving slowly. She looked graceful and elegant.

The three men and two swords fell to the ground.

"Master!"

The woman knew where she was at a glance. It was the place she had been dreaming about day and night, and the person in front of her was the person she had been thinking about day and night. Zhou Qingyun, who was sitting on the ground, called out with a thousand twists and turns, and I don't know how much longing he contained.

Kun Dao suddenly opened his eyes and saw Zhou Qingyun at a glance.

"Yun'er!"

Zhou Qingyun burst into tears and kowtowed repeatedly.

Taoist Jianxian and Cheng Xinzhan only saw a flash of light on the tree, and then the person disappeared. Then they squatted in front of Zhou Qingyun and helped him up.

"It's really you, Yun'er!"

Kun Dao's voice was also a little trembling.

Taoist Jianxian and Cheng Xinzhan also stood up. Taoist Jianxian was a little surprised. Just by this move, he could conclude that this person was at least in the third realm and above the fourth level. It was not impossible that he was in the fourth level. Anyway, he had no power to fight back. This Huangshan was truly full of hidden dragons and crouching tigers.

After calming down, Kun Dao looked at the two of them.

Taoist Jianxian still held the Three Pure Ones seal in his hand and saluted, and said the same thing, "Tao Jianxian of Sanqing Mountain and his disciple Cheng Xinzhan greet you, Taoist Master. Taoist Master, you are so lucky. We have accidentally entered your precious place. Please forgive us."

Kun Dao was a little surprised and returned the greeting, "So you are a fellow Taoist from Mount Sanqing. I was rude just now, please forgive me."

Jian Xianlian said it was fine, and then looked at Zhou Qingyun, "I wonder if there was any misunderstanding just now, why did you suddenly...?"

Zhou Qingyun's eyes and face were red at this moment. "Yue Po" turned into a sword again and hid behind her. She shook her head, "I don't know why "Yue Po"..."

At this point, she seemed to remember something, looked at the other sword that was also hiding behind Cheng Xinzhan, and then suddenly looked at Cheng Xinzhan's face.

"Taodu Sword! Are you the one who stole Yingqiong's flying sword?!"

Cheng Xinzhan raised his eyebrows, "Oh? That's what she told you?"

As soon as the words came out of his mouth, Zhou Qingyun felt something was wrong. How could such a righteous man who could compose poetry and couplets do something like stealing other people's treasures?
"There must be some misunderstanding."

She immediately added.

Taoist Jianxian felt that these people were just talking nonsense. He didn't understand what they were saying. Moreover, he and his disciple were just passing by, but they were questioned, arrested, and now slandered. He was also unhappy, so he said bluntly,
"Fellow Daoist, why don't you make it clearer? We have our own rules in Sanqing Mountain. We always behave properly wherever we go."

Zhou Qingyun became anxious when he heard this, knowing that he had been impolite, and wanted to explain.

"Forgive me, fellow Daoist. I think we are all destined to be together. Why don't we sit down and talk?"

At this time, Kun Dao opened her mouth, and with a flick of her sleeves, a set of stone tables and chairs appeared on the ground, with four cups of steaming tea on the table.

"You two Taoist friends came at the right time. This is the Mingqian tea I made this year. You must taste Maofeng when you come to Huangshan. Please."

The great monk invited them to have tea, and naturally the two had no reason to refuse, so they sat down.

"Have tea first, then talk business."

Kun Dao said one more sentence.

So the two of them picked up the teacups. Cheng Xinzhan looked down and saw that there was mist on the top of the cup, the tea soup was clear green and slightly yellow, the leaves were bright, and the fragrance was like orchid.

He took a sip. The tea had a refreshing fragrance and a mellow taste. Especially after it entered his throat, it turned directly into a powerful spiritual energy that merged into his meridians, making his whole body feel comfortable.

“Good tea!”

Jianxian and Cheng Xinzhan praised together.

At this time, Kun Dao smiled and said, "My name is Canxia. Nice to meet you two fellow Taoists. This is my disciple, Zhou Qingyun."

Taoist Jianxian's face changed, and he looked at Kun Dao, "I heard that Huangshan has established a Huangshan Administration in recent years, which has made the mountains more spiritual than before. It is said that there are top figures of the fifth realm in the administration, but the initiator is a kind-hearted Kun Dao of the fourth realm, named Master Canxia?"

Kun Dao just smiled and said, "My name is Canxia, ​​and the title of Master is just a compliment from others, don't take it seriously."

Jianxian bowed and said, "Establishing Sanji was not easy, and it is also a great merit. You deserve to be called a master."

Master Canxia waved his hands, but there was a happy smile on his face.

"I don't know why I drew my sword just now at the foot of the mountain. I only drew my sword when I heard the sound of swords clashing."

Master Canxia asked Zhou Qingyun.

Zhou Qingyun put "Yueping" on the table with a red face.

The "Yueping" sword has a blue blade and a white handle, shaped like an ice crystal, and is filled with a chill.

Seeing this, Cheng Xinzhan also put "Taodu" on the table.

Then the two swords began to echo again.

"It's not that they drew their swords physically, it's that the flying swords have spirits, they came out of their sheaths on their own and recognized each other, and they made sounds when they interacted, which we didn't expect.

"Before ascending to heaven, the Changmei Zhenren of Shushan personally refined seven flying swords, three yang and four yin. Among them, "Taodu" is the yang head and "Yueping" is the yin head. The two swords inherit the true form of the sun and the moon, and are white chickens and jade rabbits. Yes, they are a pair of male and female swords."

When he spoke the last few sentences, Zhou Qingyun's voice was as soft as a mosquito and his face looked as if blood was dripping.

She didn't know what was going on. When she found out that "Taodu" and "Yuepo" were male and female swords, she was particularly glad that the Yang sword was taken by Li Yingqiong. Otherwise, if it was taken by the three men, there would definitely be gossip.

But how did it end up in the hands of a man?

"When Miaoyi Zhenren passed down the seven swords, I got the "Moon Soul" and "Taodu" was taken by Li Yingqiong, but later I heard that it was taken away by someone outside the mountain and its whereabouts are unknown..."

At this time, Cheng Xinzhan took over the conversation, "Fellow Daoist Qingyun, you also said that the flying sword has spirits. Do you think that if this "Taodu" recognizes Li Yingqiong as its master, can I, at my level, seize it by force?"

Zhou Qingyun shook his head when he heard this. "Taodu" was granted to Yingqiong personally by Miaoyi Zhenren. Even under such circumstances, he still refused to submit to Yingqiong, which showed how picky and spiritual he was. How could his name be taken away easily? He must have met someone whose Taoism was very compatible with his and chose his own master.

"I don't want to explain the twists and turns. I didn't steal or rob, and I have a clear conscience. On the contrary, it was Li Yingqiong who was bloodthirsty and full of evil spirits. If Taodu followed her, the magic sword would have become an evil sword sooner or later!"

Cheng Xinzhan said firmly.

Hearing these words, although they were obviously from the same school, Zhou Qingyun recalled Li Yingqiong's personality and nodded slightly.

Master Canxia probably knew what was going on. Since there was no conflict, she asked again,

"Qingyun, how did you meet your fellow Taoists from Mount Sanqing?"

"Today, my disciple returned to the mountain and happened to meet two Taoist priests who were visiting this place. He also heard this Taoist friend Xinzhan reciting poems praising the scenery, so he showed up to see it, which led to the two swords crossing each other."

"Oh?"

Master Canxia looked at Cheng Xinzhan.

Zhou Qingyun looked at Cheng Xinzhan and said,

"Fellow Daoist Xinzhan also said that our Wenbi Peak is a place where "dreams of writing and flowers bloom" are the most beautiful scenery!"

Seeing that Cheng Xinzhan did not show any displeasure, she quickly repeated Cheng Xinzhan's description of "Dream Pen Producing Flowers" and the poem.

"Hahaha~"

Master Canxia laughed heartily, "Good poem, good sentences, my friend is very talented."

Cheng Xinzhan bowed and said, "Master, you are overpraising me. The poem is ordinary, but the scenery is like a fairyland."

Hearing this, Master Canxia laughed even more happily, and looked at Cheng Xinzhan with more satisfaction.

Her eyes wandered over the two flying swords on the table, and after a moment's hesitation, she said,

"I, Wenbi Peak, have been praised by your poem, but I cannot let you praise me in vain. I happen to have a method of controlling a flying sword here, so I will use it to thank you." As she said this, she took out a jade slip and handed it to Cheng Xinzhan. It was engraved with:

"Li Tieguai's Commentary on the Fire-Removing and Rapid Sword".

Cheng Xinzhan was shocked. Immortal's hidden treasure?

He quickly bowed and said, "I just spoke nonsense out of inspiration. I don't deserve such a generous gift. Master, please don't embarrass me."

Master Canxia smiled when he heard this, "Reciting poems is just a casual thing for you, and giving scriptures is just a casual thing for me, so what's the difference?"

Taoist Master Jianxian's eyebrows jumped when he heard this. Who is this Master Canxia?
But when Cheng Xinzhan heard this, he felt it made a lot of sense. Yes, could it be that my poetry is not as good as this sword scripture? He claimed to be free and easy, but at this moment he could not match the master's free and easy, and still fell behind.

So he took the sword manual and said, "Master, I am grateful for your teaching."

So Master Canxia smiled even more.

"I don't want to trouble two people for one thing. How about you please carve the four characters "Dream Pen Sheng Hua" on the south cliff of Wenbi Peak for me? In the future, I can say that Wenbi Peak has a cliff carving."

Cheng Xinzhan naturally agreed. As soon as he thought about it, "Taodu" flew out of the peak. The sword moved like a dragon and snake, and the stone skin fell down. So the four big characters were carved in Yunli.
Dream pen produces flowers.

The guests and hosts enjoyed themselves for a while.

At this time, Master Canxia asked casually, "You two came from Sanqing Mountain, are you here specifically to enjoy the Rain Mountain?"

Taoist Jianxian pondered for a moment. This Master Canxia was the initiator of Huangshan Zhi. He must be a man with good intentions. He was covered in rosy clouds and had the inheritance of a celestial being. He must be a man of the right path. He also looked very well-known. If he explored the roots of Huangshan, he might be able to borrow his help. After thinking about it, he said,

"Master, we are practicing thunder magic. Some time ago, my disciple checked the number of thunders in previous years and found that the spring thunders in February in Qingzhou area are decreasing year by year. This is a sign that evil spirits are breeding and infecting the earth veins. So the two of us came here to investigate. Since Huangshan is the source of Qingzhou Mountain, we came here to look for clues."

Master Canxia was shocked when he heard this and actually stood up.

Then the remaining three stood up.

Realizing that he had lost his composure, Master Canxia forced a smile, asked everyone to sit down, and drank the tea in front of him in one gulp. Zhou Qingyun had never seen his master drink tea like this before.

"Could you please explain in detail?"

Jianxian looked at Cheng Xinzhan, "Xinzhan, you sorted it out, tell me."

Cheng Xinzhan nodded and recounted in detail the number of spring thunders in February in various parts of Gyeongju over the past ten years.

Master Canxia frowned more and more, and after listening, he sighed, "I have been busy preparing for Sanji, but in the end, I am only limited to this mountain. I didn't even notice such a big thing as the lack of spring thunder in Qingzhou!"

Taoist Jianxian said, "Master, don't be sad, it's just that everyone has their own specialties."

Master Canxia nodded and asked, "What did Daoyou and Xinzhan find?"

Jianxian shook his head. "We are new here too and haven't discovered anything yet. Master, you have lived in Huangshan for a long time. Do you have any magic method to explore the earth veins?"

Master Canxia frowned. She practiced the way of clouds and mist, but she really didn't know how to explore the veins of the earth.

"It's okay, it's okay, I'll just look for it later."

Jianxian saw that Master Canxia didn't seem to have any better idea, so he spoke.

Master Canxia added, "I can look for it with you, or I can tell Sanji and then inform fellow cultivators in the mountains, and we can look for it together."

"inappropriate!"

Jianxian and Cheng Xinzhan said this at the same time.

"It would be fine if this evil thing was born naturally, but if someone did it on purpose, whether you are searching for the source of the mountain with your fourth level cultivation or a group of cultivators are moving together, such a big commotion could easily alert someone who is interested if they see it."

Jianxian explained.

Canxia nodded after hearing this, "That makes sense, I was too impatient. So, Qingyun, you go with the fellow Taoists from Sanqing Mountain to search together. If you go too deep or accidentally break into the cave of a fellow cultivator, you can explain it and say that these two are guests I invited to visit the mountain."

Zhou Qingyun immediately agreed.

Jianxian and Cheng Xinzhan looked at each other and said hello. Didn't they just accidentally enter Wenbi Peak? It was just that Master Canxia was easy to talk to. If they met an unreasonable person, it would be a troublesome matter.

"Please wait for a moment, my two Taoist friends. I will explain a few things to you."

Master Canxia said.

The two naturally agreed.

Master Canxia led Zhou Qingyun away from the stone table and came to the edge of a cliff in the distance. Green pines separated the two pairs of master and apprentice.

Master Canxia looked at the rain and fog in the distance, stood with his hands behind his back, and said softly,

"Qingyun, you are not practicing in Emei, why did you come back?"

Zhou Qingyun knelt down and cried, "Master, I don't want to practice in Emei. I only want to serve you in Wenbi Peak!"

Upon hearing this, Master Canxia's almond-shaped eyes were filled with anger.
"Why, isn't Emei good? Isn't Miaoyi Zhenren treating you badly?"

Zhou Qingyun shook her head gently, about to cry, "Emei is good, but it is not as good as Huangshan. Miaoren Zhenren has never treated me badly, but he is still not as good as Master. Master, do you know..."

Master Canxia nodded and interrupted her, "I know."

She raised her head and stared at her master blankly.

"Since I sent you to Mount Emei, I knew that you would become the disciple of Miaoyi Zhenren. Today, with outsiders here, you shouldn't call me Master, and I shouldn't call you Disciple, but you forgot, and I forgot too. However, the two gentlemen from Mount Sanqing are gentlemen, and even if they know about it in the future, they probably won't gossip about it."

Master Canxia said leisurely.

"But Master, didn't you tell me at that time that I could only go there to learn the Fa? You didn't tell me to join another sect. Didn't you want to have a disciple any longer?"

Zhou Qingyun choked up.

Master Canxia felt a pain in his heart and smiled bitterly, "Foolish boy, there is no such thing as learning a method in vain in this world! What do you think Mount Emei is? If I hadn't deceived you and tricked you into leaving, how could you have been willing to stay in Mount Emei?"

"But I don't want to learn Emei's magic!"

Zhou Qingyun finally couldn't hold back anymore, hugged Master Canxia's legs, and burst into tears.

Master Canxia squatted down, touched his disciple's black hair, and said bitterly, "Silly child, your master has come step by step from being a casual cultivator. Although I was lucky enough to inherit the Eight Immortals and made a name for myself in this world, casual cultivators are always floating duckweed! There is no one in heaven, and it is so difficult to become an immortal! How can your master be willing to let you follow your old path again!

"That day, Immortal Miaoyi suddenly came to my door and said that you were from Daxing Emei and had the appearance of a celestial being. He advised me to let go and he would teach me everything he knew. He was a person who was about to ascend to heaven, so why did he come to deceive and tease me? Tell me, how should I choose as your master? If you followed me, I would only make mistakes!"

At this point, Master Canxia also shed tears. She must have felt heartbroken to have to give up her apprentice, whom she had raised for many years, to someone else.

She suppressed her heartache and forced a smile to encourage her apprentice.

"Qingyun, listen to me. Emei is powerful not only in the mortal world, but also in heaven. If you concentrate on practicing Taoism in Emei and strive to become a celestial being, you may even surpass me. When the time comes, whether I am old or dying, you can come to save me. If I am old and you come to look for my reincarnation, I will still call you Master!"

Zhou Qingyun burst into laughter and nodded. This was good enough. As long as she knew that her master didn't abandon her, she would have one more reason to stay in Emei.

"By the way, why did you return to Huangshan today?"

Hearing this, Zhou Qingyun's expression became much more serious. He leaned close to Master Canxia's ear and whispered a few words with his hand covering his mouth. Master Canxia's expression changed again and again, and finally he nodded slowly.

"When you go back, tell Master Miaoyi that I know about this."

Zhou Qingyun nodded.

"How long can you stay this time? Does Master Miaoyi have any idea?"

Zhou Qingyun shook his head. "Not really. The Master asked me to stay for a while longer to ease my longing for you."

Master Canxia smiled upon hearing this, and even said a few good words, but then he immediately changed his expression to a sad one, "Then you should go with the Taoist friends from Sanqing Mountain to check the earth veins for the next few days. After you find the problem, we can have a good talk. How could there be a problem with the earth veins in Qingzhou? Alas, it is really a troubled time."

Zhou Qingyun said yes.

"Take this. My disciple has also started to practice flying swords, so how can he not have the sword manual?"

Master Canxia handed over a jade slip. Zhou Qingyun took a look and saw that it clearly read:

"Li Tieguai's Talk about the Kanshui Mianrou Sword Sutra".

"Master, this?"

Master Canxia smiled.
"This is a pair with the one I gave to that kid. This sword technique can be practiced separately or together. Your two flying swords, one yin and one yang, can be combined with this technique to increase their power several times. But you don't have to tell him. It won't be too late to tell him when you really need it in the future.

"Moreover, the Lihuo Sword Technique is extremely powerful and swift as fire, but it cannot escape the softness of Kanshui. If one day he dares to hurt you with this method, you can easily stop his flying sword with the Kanshui Sword Technique!"
