Chapter 16: The Seven Cultivators of Mount Shu

The land of Shenzhou had infinite scenery, with spiritual mountains and beautiful waters competing in beauty.

In the southwest of Shenzhou, mountains stretched endlessly, and the spiritual energy of the Shu region was the most abundant.

The immortal Dao in Western Shu was prosperous, with no less than thousands of temples and monasteries on the mountains. Every year, devout men and women came from thousands of miles away to worship. Coupled with the high mountains and beautiful waters, the layers of peaks, and the magnificent atmosphere, there were truly quite a few people who came specifically for sightseeing.

And outside these famous mountains, there were back-mountain mystical realms, which were what people often called blessed lands and cave heavens.

The scenery inside was particularly secluded and magnificent, and mortals could not find the way in. Those high people who had attained the Dao enjoyed the pure happiness of these spiritual mountain sacred realms alone.

And among these immortal mystical realms, Mount Emei was a famous sacred place in Shu. People in the past said that the mountains and waters of Western Shu were strange, and Emei was particularly superior; this sentence was truly not false.

Look at that mountain, the cloud hair condensed into green, the dark eyebrows painted from afar, truly like a beautiful woman's eyebrows, thin and long, beautiful and gorgeous, so it was named Mount Emei.

Such an immortal mountain was naturally occupied by a famous school, which was the Emei Sect.

The rules of the Emei Sect were very strict. Cultivators of the first realm had to attend morning classes every day. If there were those who were truly in meditation and seclusion, they had to report to the teaching elder before or after. There was also a comprehensive examination at the end of every month. If there were those who were unqualified or ranked low, they would inevitably be punished.

However, the teaching elder was also a human. If you attended morning classes every day without fail, even if your ranking in the monthly exam was low, there would always be a way to open the net.

But this rule and statement absolutely did not apply to those with extraordinary talent and outstanding talent.

Take the rising star, Li Yingqiong, who had just entered the mountain not long ago. Since the day she entered the mountain, no one had seen her attend morning classes many times.

But today was different. Everyone actually saw Li Yingqiong at the morning class.

This little girl was only thirteen or fourteen years old, living up to her name, truly like jade, with a compelling heroic spirit.

Li Yingqiong was wearing a white tight-fitting outfit, and she herself was fair-skinned and beautiful. Being set off by the clothes, she was even more like frost and snow.

It was such a jade person, but there was a cinnabar red mole on her forehead, so her whole temperament became sharp, and even a murderous aura was hidden between her eyebrows.

Li Yingqiong walked quickly into the Shengshen Hall. There were already a lot of people here, and the front row was full, and there were empty seats in the back row, but she was unwilling to sit, standing straight in the front row, like a sword that had just been sharpened.

"Junior, Junior Sister, you sit in my seat!"

Beside Li Yingqiong, a Daoist seemed unable to bear the sharpness of this sharp sword and took the initiative to give up his seat.

"Thank you, Senior Brother."

Li Yingqiong was not polite, nor did she look at the person who gave up the seat, just said thank you coldly, and sat down.

The man said it didn't matter, and ran to the back to sit down.

Li Yingqiong sat down and caught a glimpse of the woman beside her, and suddenly relaxed her eyebrows, like ice and snow melting on a snow mountain, and a snow lotus flower blooming.

"Senior Sister Zhou, you are here too!"

This Senior Sister Zhou, whom Li Yingqiong liked, looked only fifteen or sixteen years old, wearing a goose-yellow long shirt, with long hair reaching her waist tied behind her head with a red rope, looking like a winter jasmine facing the sun in spring.

The yellow-shirted woman smiled and nodded at Li Yingqiong.

"Not just Senior Sister Zhou, Senior Brother Yan, Zhuge, and I are all here!"

At this time, another female voice inserted. Li Yingqiong turned her head to look at the sound, and it was her good friend and best friend, Yu Yingnan, who was also here.

When Li Yingqiong looked around the hall, she found that Senior Brother Yan Renying and Jingrui were also here.

What was this about?

Li Yingqiong thought to herself, usually they were making rapid progress in their cultivation, all studying hard, and it was not easy for them to bump into each other.

As for attending morning classes every day, except for Senior Sister Zhou Qingyun and Senior Brother Yan Renying, no one else, including herself, could do it.

She came here today because the teaching elder called her name, and others should be the same.

Li Yingqiong guessed correctly. After the teaching elder finished today's homework, he dismissed everyone, but only left Li Yingqiong, Yu Yingnan, Yan Renying, Zhou Qingyun, and Zhuge Jingrui.

Everyone secretly guessed what the elder meant.

Before everyone could guess for long, the teaching elder said the reason directly:

"The Sect Master wants to see you."

Everyone was shocked when they heard this.

————

Emei back mountain, Ningbi Cliff mystical realm, Tianbo Wall.

This Tianbo Wall was a whole piece of top-grade spiritual jade naturally grown on Ningbi Cliff, with spiritual light rolling on the jade wall, like water ripples.

The five people stood honestly in front of the Tianbo Wall, not daring to move, even the most jumpy and wild Li Yingqiong and Yu Yingnan did not dare to have any movements.

Fortunately, the five people did not wait too long. A flash of rosy light appeared in front of the Tianbo Wall, and two people appeared out of thin air.

The man standing on the left was wearing a moon-white wide robe, his aura was high and peak, his figure was handsome, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, a style of relaxation.

This man was also holding a baby in his arms.

The woman standing on the right was wearing a bright yellow long skirt, with a plump figure, round and jade-like, luxurious and dignified, also with a smile on her eyebrows, holding a baby in her arms.

"Seen the Sect Master True Person, seen the Sect Master Lady."

The five young children bowed and asked for peace.

That man was the Emei Sect Master, the leader of the Western Shu mysterious gate, True Person Miaoyi Qi Shuming, and the woman beside him was Lady Miaoyi Xun Lanyin.

In their arms, of course, were the dragon and phoenix twins who had just turned one year old, Qi Lingyun and Qi Jin Chan.

"No need for courtesy, get up quickly."

Lady Miaoyi said with a smile.

Everyone stood still.

True Person Miaoyi looked at these tender faces and smiled with emotion, "Time passes quickly, Lingyun and Jin Chan are already one year old, you have been in Emei for quite a while, right."

The five nodded and said yes.

"Renying, among the five of you, you are the oldest, and you are only nineteen. Five years ago, fellow Daoist Zuijian sent you to Emei. In these five years in Emei, have you been wronged?"

True Person Miaoyi asked one of the boys.

The boy was in white, tall and straight, with beautiful eyebrows and tiger eyes, a high nose and a full forehead, looking like an honest person.

Yan Renying stepped forward in fear, "Since coming to Emei, all the teachers have treated me as their own, and all the fellow disciples have been friendly and close to me. There is no grievance at all."

True Person Miaoyi nodded, said a good word, and asked again:

"Qingyun, you are seventeen this year, you are the oldest among the girls. Master Canxia sent you here early last year. In Emei for more than a year, have you been wronged?"

The yellow-shirted woman Zhou Qingyun stepped forward, her voice soft and glutinous, her tone firm, "Although the disciple has not been in Emei for long, thanks to the thick love of all the teachers and fellow disciples, whether it is life or cultivation, I have not been wronged at all. The disciple is truly grateful." "Good child."

True Person Miaoyi nodded with a smile and asked again:

"Yingnan, you are fifteen this year. Master Guanghui sent you here three years ago. In Emei for three years, have you been wronged?"

Yu Yingnan stepped forward, the girl held her head high and chest out, without any fear or tension, and said loudly: "Sect Master, I am in Emei as if I were in my own home. Everyone treats me well, and I have not been wronged."

True Person Miaoyi laughed loudly, pointed at Yu Yingnan and said: "What a heart of a child!"

After saying that, True Person Miaoyi looked at another boy and asked:

"Jingrui, you are only ten years old this year, the youngest among you. Two years ago, you were only eight years old. It was Senior Brother Xuanzhenzi who sent you to Emei. In the two years since entering the mountain, have you been wronged?"

Zhuge Jingrui was still a child, with a round face and some fatness. He tightened his small face and said word by word: "Return to the Sect Master, everyone treats me well, Jingrui has not been wronged."

True Person Miaoyi reached out and touched Jingrui's round head.

Finally, he looked at Li Yingqiong,

"Yingqiong, you are fourteen years old, originally the daughter of a secular knight-errant. When walking in the rivers and lakes, you encountered zombies and lost things, almost losing your life. It was my wife who met you by chance on the road, saved you, and brought you back to Emei. It has been three years. In these three years, have you been wronged?"

Li Yingqiong's face was like cold frost, but her temper was like fire. At this moment, her eyes were already filled with hot tears, and she said hoarsely:

"The lady is a rebirth to me. If there were no lady, I would have been dry bones in the forest long ago. How could I have the current scene? As long as the Sect Master and the lady have orders, and the mountain gate needs it, Yingqiong will not hesitate even if she is smashed to pieces. How can there be any grievance?!"

"Good! Good! Good!"

=9+Book_Bar

True Person Miaoyi said three good words in a row, his eyes swept over the faces of the five people, "All good children!"

"I called you here today specifically to discuss something with you."

The five people bowed together, "Just rely on the Sect Master's decree."

True Person Miaoyi looked at his wife and said: "Today, I, Qi Shuming, add to the Emei Sect Master, and want to accept you as true disciples. I don't know if you are willing?"

The five people were shocked when they heard this, and disbelief appeared in their eyes.

Li Yingqiong reacted the fastest, and her movements were the most straightforward. The girl knelt down, kowtowed, and cried:

"Disciple Yingqiong, see the Master."

The other four were slightly panicked. Seeing Li Yingqiong kneeling, they were even more at a loss.

The second one to kneel and kowtow was Zhuge Jingrui.

After two or three breaths, Yu Yingnan and Yan Renying knelt down almost at the same time. As soon as the two knelt down, Zhou Qingyun also knelt down quickly.

True Person Miaoyi stroked his beard and smiled, helping the five people up one by one.

"You should discuss the order by age. From now on, Renying is the eldest senior brother, Qingyun is the eldest senior sister, Yingnan is the second senior sister, Yingqiong is the third senior sister, Jingrui is the second senior brother, Lingyun is the little junior sister, and Jin Chan is the little junior brother. From now on, you seven must work together to glorify Emei."

The five people looked at the little babies who were still struggling in the arms of the Sect Master and his wife, and said in unison:

"Work together to glorify Emei!"

True Person Miaoyi smiled with satisfaction and said again, "Today I am happy to get good disciples, I must reward them."

I saw the True Person's big sleeves wave, and the spiritual light on the Tianbo Wall was rippling. Everyone only saw the spiritual wall like water, and it seemed that some spiritual objects were floating in the water.

It was only in a moment that seven groups of treasure light floated on the Tianbo Wall. Everyone looked closely and found that they were seven treasure swords!

"My Master Changmei True Person collected the gold of the Five Elements before ascending, and refined seven flying swords according to the shapes of the Seven True Forms. They were hidden in this Tianbo Wall, absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, receiving the essence of the sun and moon, and have passed more than two hundred years, long ago washing away the lead."

"The seven swords are collectively named Seven Cultivators, divided into dragon, snake, toad, turtle, rooster, rabbit, and centipede, each with a shape, specifically breaking the five poisons of the different schools, and are the treasures of my Emei. The Seven Cultivators combined are even more powerful."

"Among the seven swords, the dragon is named 'Golden Turtle', the toad is named 'Mother Water', the rooster is named 'Taodu', the rabbit is named 'Moon Soul', the centipede is named 'Red Su', the turtle is named 'Mysterious Evil', and the snake is named 'Green Mouth'. There are just seven of you, this is destiny, choose your swords!"

Miaoyi and his wife put down Qi Lingyun and Qi Jin Chan. The two babies saw the groups of treasure light on the wall, couldn't help but smile, and took small steps to reach out and grab them.

"There is no difference in the quality of the seven swords, just choose the sword by your heart."

True Person Miaoyi reminded again.

Li Yingqiong still took the lead, took a step first, and grabbed at "Golden Turtle". Unexpectedly, this sword turned into a golden dragon, and it broke away from Li Yingqiong's palm with a flick of its tail. Li Yingqiong gave a light surprise, a bit unexpected, but still wanted to grab it. She tried four or five times, but couldn't grab the agile dragon.

Li Yingqiong had to give up and went to grab the vermilion "Taodu".

"Hiss!"

Li Yingqiong let go suddenly, raised her hand to look, and her palm had already been burned with a blood wound.

However, at this time, Li Yingqiong's temper came up, and she insisted on grabbing "Taodu". Where her palm met the sword hilt, white smoke rose. The girl's arm trembled with pain, but she gritted her teeth and refused to let go, forcibly pulling "Taodu" down from the Tianbo Wall.

Her entire right hand was already bloody.

"Yingqiong! 'Taodu' is fierce and belongs to Yang. You are a woman, and taking it by force will hurt your body!"

True Person Miaoyi looked at Li Yingqiong's appearance, felt reluctant, and opened his mouth to persuade.

However, Li Yingqiong gritted her teeth and insisted: "The treasure sword is fierce, but I don't know that my temper is even fiercer. Although Yingqiong is a daughter, she can still subdue this sword!"

True Person Miaoyi watched Li Yingqiong's blood dripping down the sword body, and finally didn't say anything more.

At this time, the little baby Qi Jin Chan watched the golden dragon swimming in the Tianbo Wall and felt it was very interesting, so he reached out to block it. But it was just such a reach that he grabbed the golden dragon. The baby took his hand back and brought out a bright treasure sword.

Seeing that two flying swords had owners, the remaining few no longer yielded and reached into the Tianbo Wall one after another.

It was people choosing swords, and swords choosing people. After several trials and changes of hands, finally,

Yan Renying got "Mysterious Evil".

Zhou Qingyun got "Moon Soul".

Yu Yingnan got "Green Mouth".

Zhuge Jingrui got "Red Su".

Qi Lingyun got "Mother Water".

"So the seven swords have owners, it should be that my Emei will flourish. You have obtained the treasure swords, and you also need to cultivate well, don't let down the name of the flying sword!"

True Person Miaoyi encouraged.

"Follow the Master's decree!"

"Yingqiong, you are from a secular knight-errant background, you have a chivalrous bone, you can't stay in the deep mountains for a long time. After refining the flying sword, go down the mountain to travel as soon as possible!"

Finally, True Person Miaoyi specifically instructed Li Yingqiong.

The girl naturally bowed her head and obeyed.

Seeing the five people go down the mountain, Lady Miaoyi, who had not spoken much before, said to the True Person:

"Husband, before Master Baimei ascended, you once asked for a comment from the Master, seeking the method for Emei to flourish and the successor Sect Master, and got the eight words 'Three Heroes and Two Clouds, Luo Monk Shu Marquis'. Now, these seven children can be considered complete."

The True Person let out a long breath, his expression complex, "Yes, it can be considered complete."

The difficulty in it, only this leader of the Xuanmen knew it himself.

The new book is presented; I hope everyone will leave more messages and comments.
