From a Zhengyi Taoist Child to a Master of All Laws

Chapter 205

Time passed quickly in September. Whenever Ke He thought of the scene of Li Yang flying across the starry sea with him on his sword, he felt like he was dreaming and it was very unreal.

Xu Shanshan never came to school again. I heard that she dropped out and disappeared completely. No one could find her.

While Ke He felt regretful, she also understood Xu Shanshan's behavior. After what happened, she could no longer stay in the school. Even as Xu Shanshan's roommate, she could always hear rumors from the outside world every time she went out.

Xu Shanshan is no longer with us, so what happened that day was real, including Li Yang's astonishing sword-flying performance.

So, what level of cultivation does Li Yang have that allows him to fly with a sword?
High? How high can it be? It’s about as high as a mayfly looking up at the sky.

Full of longing, Ke He returned to his normal life as a college student.

There were very few classes in the senior year, and Ke He had already secured a place in graduate school, so Ke He's senior year was particularly comfortable. After class every day, he would spend time in the library looking up some folk tales of the Chinese people, or sit cross-legged in the dormitory with the curtains drawn and breathe.

When my roommate saw this, he just thought it was a normal yoga move and didn't question it too much.

On the 15th of the month, during the Mid-Autumn Festival, Ke He mustered up her courage and sent a message to Li Yang as a younger sister, inviting him to spend the Mid-Autumn Festival together.

As expected, Ke He waited until the National Day was about to start, and when he opened Li Yang's WeChat chat box, it was still full of green screen.

"Being brothers and sisters is in our hearts. If something happens, you can't get through on the phone, right?"

"Ding ding ding." Ke He gritted his teeth and tapped at the photo they had taken together in high school. He really wanted to pull out Li Yang on the other side of the screen and beat him up.
But if you really dig it out, you might be the one who gets beaten...

During this period of time, Ke He also sent messages in the practice contact group. Because he had no idea what kind of person his adopted brother was, after all, flying with a sword was too magical, so Ke He could only ask very obscurely.

A casual cultivator is definitely a casual cultivator. If he is not found in the Dao League, then he is not organized.
How could a person who did not follow the right path achieve such a high level of cultivation? Ke He was worried that Li Yang might have practiced some unorthodox method.

The group was quite lively. Ke He typed and deleted, deleted and revised, and after considering for a long time, he finally sent out the first message.

"@Instructor Ma, you said we are practitioners, sword masters in preparation. I've seen a lot of TV shows and novels recently where practitioners can fly with swords. What realm is that?"

After sending the message, Ke He himself felt that his question was too stupid.

The phone kept ringing for a long time before Ke He mustered up the courage to open the group chat interface again.

Sure enough, more than a dozen of them were @ myself.

The first one was from Instructor Ma: "Practitioners should avoid being distracted and having high aspirations but low skills. Those TV novels are all just people's imaginations. You should keep your feet on the ground and cultivate until you can awaken your spirit first."

"Flying with a sword? Xiaohe, where did you see that? But if one can really fly with a sword, it must be a congenital master. The Qi Lings I have seen all have stronger physiques than ordinary people, and flying with a sword is something that Jue Shi can't do."

This was Shao Qiwei, who was at T0 level among the same batch of prospective sword masters. His statement blew up many lurking players. Some said that it was something that could be done by innate people, while others said that it could not be done by innate people. Immediately, the number of messages in the group increased to 99+, which overshadowed the message of Ke He replying to Shao Qiwei.

Soon, the entire group was muted by Instructor Ma.

"Innate? It turns out to be innate!" Ke He read dozens of group messages. Some people in the group said that they had seen an innate master flying with a sword. He was holding a fire stick and could perform the secret of controlling lightning with a magic sword.

Others said it might be because of the weapon, because he had seen someone's sister voluntarily sacrifice her life to forge a sword, and the resulting sword was so powerful that it could carry a person flying.

If Li Yang was in the group, he would definitely complain that they were all cloud players, but Ke He obviously didn't know that, so she believed it.

"Xiantian? I actually have a Xiantian brother?"

Ke He's face was confused, and he subconsciously clicked on Li Yang's avatar, but the green light shining on his face made Ke He lose the idea of ​​typing instantly.

"What? That's Xiantian? The Dao League only has five Xiantians. Hasn't Li Yang been guarding Baiyun Mountain? How could he be so awesome?"

The little girl was shocked and started speaking Sichuan dialect.

In Li Yang's words, when Ke He's Sichuan dialect gets excited, it means top-notch hardware, playful software, and tough hipster style.

Before we could look forward to it for long, a notice about the National Day training issued by the instructor came into the group. It was scheduled to carry out unified training and preaching at the base for a week from October 1st to October 7th, and the October "Preparatory Sword Master Positioning" assessment would be conducted on the seventh day.

There are a total of sixteen prospective sword masters. Most of them have been training in the base. Some, like Ke He, are in Beijing and want to continue their studies. After signing the contract, they are allowed to study and live outside the base normally.

However, every Saturday, Sunday and some statutory holidays, we must return to the base to practice.

"You took up all seven days? You didn't even leave me a single day off!"

Ke He was filled with righteous indignation, and angrily typed "received" in the contact group that had been reopened for chat.

"Da da da"

The WeChat avatar moved, and Ke He thought that a missing person finally remembered her lovely, beautiful and kind sister, so she opened WeChat with anticipation.

"What TV series were you watching? I've watched all the recent Xianxia TV series, they're so boring. Let me recommend one to you, it was filmed by my brother last year..."

Ke He's mouth twitched and he pressed the screen off on his phone.

It goes without saying that this must be Xia Jiajie, who is also the last in the sword master rankings like himself.

Time passed, and on the evening of September 30th, Ke He, carrying his suitcase, took the subway and arrived at the foot of Yaji Mountain.

This is also the training base for their prospective sword masters.

The three mountains and five peaks are dedicated to the goddess, only Tiantai is dedicated to the devil.

One of the three mountains is Yaji Mountain, which is named Yaji Mountain because it has two peaks facing each other far apart, which looks like the bun on the head of an ancient girl. Ke He usually calls them East Peak and West Peak.

Their main training base is on the West Peak.

Yaji Mountain has stopped selling tickets to tourists since the year before last. Ke He climbed the steps with ease, turned into a secluded path after reaching the mountain gate, confirmed his identity with the security guard, and passed through numerous checkpoints along the way before reaching the Bixia Yuanjun Temple, which is close to the summit of the West Peak.

It was almost autumn now, and the scenery in the mountains was a little bleak. Ke He stood in front of Yuanjun Temple, undergoing the last identity verification. The ancient buildings covered with yellow glazed tiles here were shining brightly, making the mountain look unusually simple and solemn, making people dare not speak loudly.

A mountain is not high but it is magical if there are immortals living there. The architectural style of Yaji Mountain is quite similar to that of Mount Tai, and it enjoys the reputation of "Taishan in the North". It is a Taoist holy place in North China and has a history of more than 1300 years.

The identity verification would take another two minutes. Ke He looked around and saw the gurgling water in the mountains and the overlapping peaks in the misty clouds.

It was already evening, and Ke He could still hear the sound of evening drums in the temple, which had a very ancient flavor.

After the identity verification was completed, Ke He carried his suitcase and just entered the Taoist temple to pack his things in his room when a surprised voice came from outside the door: "Xiao He, you are finally back. I missed you so much!"

A girl with neat short hair and wearing special training clothes pushed open the door and hugged Ke He and cried miserably.

After finally pushing them apart, Ke He said unhappily, "Jia Jie, were you late and left early again, and were you punished by Instructor Ma to copy scriptures?" "Last time I came, I helped you copy almost a copy of Huang Ting, and you still want to cause trouble for me?"

Xia Jiajie cried bitterly: "No, it would be fine if I was punished by copying scriptures, but this time, that damn Ma Datou is going to punish me with spiritual rice!!"

Xia Jiajie said as she opened a document for Ke He.
This is a notice regarding the adjustment of the reserve sword master's resources.

The above indicates that because the strength of the Yuanjun Temple's sword master training team has shown obvious grading after a year of practice, in order to better optimize the resource supply structure and at the same time motivate the practice of each prospective sword master, the resource position will be assessed in the "positioning" assessment No. 7 according to the Taoist Alliance's ordination level.

Among the sixteen reserve sword masters, there is one master sword master resource position, three deputy sword master resource positions, eight equal positions, and four lower positions. The resources of each level decrease in sequence.

Ke He looked through it for a long time, looking puzzled: "It doesn't say that your spiritual rice will be deducted?"

"Why didn't you buckle it?"

Xia Jiajie was filled with righteous indignation. She pointed at the last lower position of the Sword Master and pulled out the previous resource supply table for comparison.

"Look, I used to get five kilograms of spiritual rice and three spiritual beads every month, but now after the resource assessment, I only get three kilograms of spiritual rice and two spiritual beads every month, and the quota of various talismans has also shrunk a lot!!"

"Then you should fight for your reputation. If you don't want to be the deputy sword master, you can climb to the same level. You can also add a lot of resources."

"Xiao He, are you still asleep? I am a good-for-nothing and you are a lazy idiot who works hard for three days and rests for two days. We have both been in the training class for so long that we are at the bottom of the pack. We can't climb up even if we try our best."

Ke He's eyes were complicated, and he said stubbornly: "When you are away for three days, you should look at him with new eyes. Things may change over time. Don't look down on the young because they are poor!"

"hehe"

Xia Jiajie sneered expressionlessly: "Where are the twenty meridians in your body open?"

Ke He proudly said: "Three Yang Meridians of the Foot!"

Xia Jiajie sighed: "Sure enough, you will always be my biggest competitor in the training class."

Xia Jiajie turned around and tried to leave, but Ke He pulled her back: "I've made a breakthrough, that's amazing!"

"It's useless. Others have already been involved in the eight extraordinary meridians, while the two of us are still wandering around the twelve regular meridians." Xia Jiajie smiled comfortingly: "But, with you accompanying me, I feel much more comfortable after all."

The twelve main meridians are the three yin meridians of the hand, the three yang meridians of the hand, the three yin meridians of the foot, and the three yang meridians of the foot.

In Neidan, as long as you feel the Qi, you have entered the door of Qi induction, and then start to open the twelve main meridians and the eight extraordinary meridians in turn. After all twenty major meridians are opened, you can advance to awakening the spirit.

Ke He had broken through to the last level of the twelve meridians this time, and was very proud of it, but who knew that he would be poured cold water on as soon as he arrived.

Ke He was silent for a long time, and from Xia Jiajie's eyes he finally realized the fact that his resources would also be cut.

Damn it, how come there are people trying to take advantage of me when I’m trying to become an immortal?!
"Where is Wang Xianghong? Didn't he just break through the Three Yin Meridians of the Hand?"

"Haha, what a coincidence. I don't know what kind of shit luck that guy has. He ate a fruit in Yaji Mountain two days ago, and now he is about to break through to the Qiling stage."

"And what about Huang Qiaoqiao in the next room? I heard that her boyfriend was caught cheating on her with a junior girl at school. Didn't she say she wanted to withdraw from the training class because of the hurt of love?"

Xia Jiajie unceremoniously took out the new version of idol peripherals from Ke He's suitcase and replied, "Don't mention it. That old maid suddenly came to her senses after writing hundreds of pages of PPT. She has already spent a lot of money online to organize a death squad to go to the school to catch that little puppy. She also said that she wants to become an innate person as soon as possible and personally pick up a sword to kill people."

After mentioning a few more people, Xia Jiajie responded to them one by one. Ke He sighed and looked at Xia Jiajie who was caressing her idol's photo: "Then there is only one way now. Is there any possibility that your gastric ulcer has deteriorated into gastric cancer recently?"

"Are you sick? There are four lower positions. Even if you can beat me, aren't you still lower?"

Ke He collapsed in the chair completely powerless.

She doesn't care about her ranking, but the decline in her spiritual rice share every month is really killing her as a foodie.

Xia Jiajie wiped away her tears with empathy, put away her idol's peripherals, patted Ke He's shoulder, and said solemnly: "I have one last way to save our Lingmi!"
-
That night, after tidying up the room, Ke He was dragged by Xia Jiajie to ask the instructor for a pass, saying that he wanted to have some insights and look for the true meaning in the mountains.

Walking in the deserted mountains with only the sound of birdsong and wind, Ke He was speechless: "Is this the method you mentioned?"

Xia Jiajie was angry, "What else can we do? It's impossible to practice martial arts. Fatty Wang can have an adventure in the mountains and pick fruits, so why can't we two do the same?"

"Then why didn't you come by yourself a few days ago?"

"They are all busy with their skills and won't play with me. I am scared to be alone."

"So you're taking me with you?"

"Why, can you really watch the spiritual rice you have obtained being cut in half?"

Xia Jiajie spoke with confidence. Ke He was silent for a moment and silently turned on the flashlight.

The two women walked one after the other on the west peak of Yaji Mountain, searching along the mountain steps according to the map that Xia Jiajie got from Wang Xianghong.

The Cuo River on the west peak of Yaji Mountain surrounds the mountain like a jade belt. There are forty-eight winding steps in front of the mountain. It can be said that the mountains are layered and the terrain is complex.

The two women waded through the stream, but still found nothing until late at night. Their clothes were soaked by the night fog in the mountains.

After passing another rock, Xia Jiajie took a short break and looked at Ke He, who was also panting in the night sky, with a complicated expression:
"I heard that when the sixteen of us went up the mountain together, Ma Datou said that your talent could rank among the top three among the sixteen of us. I didn't expect that you would fall to the level of searching for spiritual fruits all over the mountain like me."

Ke He wiped the sweat from his forehead, and lay on the rock with his hands on his head, his eyes reflecting the starry sky. He did not speak.

In fact, Instructor Ma still says this now, and he has lived up to everyone's expectations. He is the second one among the sixteen to open up the Qi sense, open up the first meridian and enter the Qi-inducing stage.

Unfortunately, once the meridians were opened up, the speed of his cultivation slowed down. Even if he sat cross-legged in meditation day and night, he still didn't make any progress. There was nothing he could do, so he had to pretend to be active for three days and dry the nets for two days, and often asked for leave to return to school under the pretext of studying.

If she could make some progress, she would go to school every day for nothing.

Ke He did not answer Xia Jiajie, but turned his head to look at the East Peak of Yaji Mountain a thousand meters away from Yaji Mountain. It was somewhat surprising that there were lights on the top of the East Peak, which was always dark.

"Hey, is the East Peak used as the meditation room for our training class? Why is the light still on so late?"

Xia Jiajie saw that Ke He didn't want to answer, so she had to look in the direction of Ke He's finger.

The west peak is Yuanjun Temple, and the east peak is Jade Emperor Pavilion. Yuan Xia Jiajie could vaguely see the shadow of Jade Emperor Pavilion several thousand meters away.

"I'm not sure, but we can't go to Dongfeng now. Ma Datou said that several big shots came from above and are doing some research. Anyway, it's very mysterious. I haven't seen the real boss in the past month."
