Chapter 423 Sword Pointing Peak
The name Xiaoyaoyou made Lin Yun have some associations, but he just thought about it casually at the time and did not immediately think that it must be the Xiaoyaoyou he knew.
However, when he uttered the first sentence, he was identified by Zhenli as Xiaoyaoyou from Taiqing Taoist Temple. This time, he accidentally caused big trouble again.
Lin Yun once suspected that all the magical skills in the Moon Goddess Ruins were just a cover. What was really important was that poem. Not many people cared about it, but those who understood would definitely understand.
Lin Yun felt that it was a hint to him as a time traveler.
However, Lin Yun has never had any evidence to prove that there were time travelers before.
Until now, the emergence of Xiaoyaoyou.
Lin Yun continued to recite it.
"Kun is so big that no one knows how many thousands of miles it is. It changes into a bird and is called Peng. Peng's back is so big that no one knows how many thousands of miles it is. When it flies in anger, its wings are like clouds hanging from the sky..."
Zhenli watched Lin Yun slowly reciting Xiaoyaoyou and couldn't help but cover his mouth in shock.
Is Lin Yun revealing his identity to her?
"You...are my fellow disciple?"
Lin Yun: “…”
Don't you know who I am?
However, Lin Yun suddenly reacted. He was too excited because he knew about Xiaoyaoyou. Now he thought carefully that stealing other sects' skills was a taboo. His image in Central Plains was almost ruined. If he learned another skill secretly and offended Taiqing Taoist Temple, his situation would become even more difficult.
Fortunately, the truth gave him a way out, so Lin Yun could only say vaguely: "I just heard this by chance, and I didn't expect it to be your technique."
"So that's how it is. I thought you were my hidden senior brother!"
Zhenli couldn't help feeling a little disappointed.
In fact, she always felt that she should have some senior brothers and sisters.
Yuxuan is over a thousand years old this year, but his eldest disciple Zhenren is less than two hundred years old.
Even if it took Yuxuan four hundred years to reach the realm of knowing destiny, it is time for her to start accepting disciples at this stage.
What has Yuxuan been doing during all these years?
Zhenli has always been curious, but every time she asked Yuxuan, Yuxuan just smiled and didn't answer.
Therefore, Zhenli once guessed that he must have some senior brothers and sisters, and perhaps Yuxuan was secretly teaching them to practice, but did not let them appear as disciples of Taiqing Taoist Temple.
The flaw in this idea is that it does not have sufficient logical support and relies entirely on imagination. After all, there is no need for Taiqing Daochang to conceal the identities of its disciples.
And now, Lin Yun's appearance proves this point.
Unfortunately, Lin Yun also refused to admit it.
But it doesn’t matter, Zhenli still feels he is very kind.
After running for a while, the two finally arrived at a place with a strange sight. A huge rock extended diagonally upwards, just like the part of the Welcoming Pine.
"This is Jianzhi Peak, the shortest peak in Yuqing Mountain. If we go to the front section, we can just see Yuqing Terrace below. If you want to find someone, it should be more convenient here."
The truth was like a diligent tour guide, bringing Lin Yun to the end of Sword Finger Peak.
Lin Yun lowered his head and looked down. Fortunately, he was a cultivator, otherwise this person who was afraid of heights would probably pee on the spot.
The Sword Pointing Peak is not high, but it stands out from the crowd, making people feel nervous and excited.
Lin Yun was even thinking that if its roots were broken, people without sufficient cultivation would fall down and there would be only one way to go, which would be death.
The mountain wind was strong and fast. After sighing, Lin Yun couldn't help but feel the spirit of "standing on the top of the mountain and looking down on all the other mountains".
It’s a pity that the Sword Finger Peak is too short to be worthy of this sentence.
Lin Yun had amazing eyesight, but he looked around but couldn't find the Snow Girl.
Judging from the Snow Girl's speed, she should have arrived, but she might not go up the mountain so quickly.
Although he felt uneasy, Lin Yun still said to Zhenli, "Thank you, fellow Taoist."
"You are welcome."
Zhenli smiled a faint smile, very sweetly.
It’s just that Lin Yun has a strong ability to resist beauty. He is no longer the boy he was at the beginning. So when Zhenli smiled, Lin Yun just thought she was sweet, but he didn’t have any special feelings.
"You can come here during the conference in two days, but don't stay at Jianzhi Peak at night. There will be strong gale here at night. If you don't have enough cultivation, you will be blown down here."
There are no plants on the Sword Finger Peak because the strong winds are too strong and no plants can survive.
Lin Yun also noticed that there were many signs of weathering on the rocks.
Perhaps the Sword Finger Peak was not like this before, but it was blown around by the wind and gradually became like this.
This is the magic of nature!
If it were in an ordinary world, Lin Yun would probably think so, but this is the world of cultivating immortals!
Based on this point, if we imagine, there might really be a sword on the Sword Finger Peak!
Lin Yun simulated it in his mind. If the Yuqing Mountain and the Sword Finger Peak were blurred, wouldn't it look like a person holding a sword...
When this thought came to his mind, Lin Yun was also shocked.
What does it feel like to have too much imagination?
That is, I can always scare myself.
"This landscape in Yuqing Mountain is really unique. Are there any similar places in Taiqing Mountain and Shangqing Mountain?"
Lin Yun decided to have a chat with the "tour guide".
Zhenli smiled and said, "Yes, there are. There is Qiansi Waterfall in Taiqing Mountain and Tuotian Rock in Shangqing Mountain. They are both beautiful scenery. If you are interested, I can take you to visit. Anyway, there are still two days before the championship. If I take you there, you don't have to pay for going up the mountain!"
Lin Yun: “…”
What should I do? This little nun seems to have feelings for him. Otherwise, this is too attentive!
Alas, my charm that has nowhere to go.
But free admission is indeed a good temptation, and Lin Yun doesn’t have to rob the rich to help the poor.
It is not good to do this kind of thing all the time. After all, these days, there are fewer and fewer local tyrants who are rich but unkind, because there are always some equally poor heroes who like to rob these local tyrants.
Everyone would like to do a good thing where they can improve their reputation and make money at the same time, so the rich have learned to be smart.
This is why Lin Yun is short of money this time. His wife didn’t give him any money when he went out, and it’s hard to steal money from outside…
Fortunately, he is lucky and can get help from fairies or nuns wherever he goes. This is why handsome boys have good luck.
"In that case, thank you very much."
Lin Yun simply agreed, not for the free ticket, but because he felt that Zhenli was a good friend.
"Then let's go to Shangqing Mountain now. It will be dark in an hour. We can watch the sunset at Tuotian Rock. If we are lucky, we can see a wonderful sight."
"What wonder?"
"It's a secret. You'll know when you see it."
Truth gave a sly smile, and for the first time she experienced the Riddler's joy.
Lin Yun did not ask any further questions, but became more interested in the Tuotian Rock in Shangqing Mountain.
Just as he was about to go down the mountain, Lin Yun looked towards Yuqing Terrace again and saw a group of people gathered together. They were too far away to hear any sound, but he could see that two gangs were fighting.
Zhenli also glanced down and said helplessly, "It has started again. Ever since the Summit Contest was held, there have been many people fighting in Yuqing Mountain, and every time it has caused a lot of noise."
"Why, do you dislike them disturbing your peace?"
Zhenli didn't pay attention to the teasing in Lin Yun's words. She shook her head and said, "I just don't understand why there are so many disputes in the world. We are all human beings with the same ancestors, but we always become mortal enemies because of some things."
Lin Yun couldn't help but glance at Zhenli from the side. This Taoist nun seemed to radiate a holy light, which reminded Lin Yun of Zhang Biyu of the White Lotus Sect.
I don’t know whether this little nun is truly compassionate or just acting, but let’s just treat her as if she is real for now!
Regardless of whether it is true or not, Lin Yun can take the opportunity to communicate his own values with Zhenli.
"Have you ever had a conflict with your fellow apprentices?"
Lin Yun tried to tell the truth that even siblings would have quarrels and conflicts.
However……
"No, my fellow brothers are all very nice. Everyone has a mild temper, unlike those people outside who always get angry easily."
Lin Yun: “…”
Too sloppy.
These Taoists in Taiqing Taoist Temple will definitely take good care of Zhenli, a simple and lovely junior sister. How could they conflict with her?
Let’s change an example.
"Have your fellow disciples ever quarreled or argued?"
"That's true. Senior Brother Zhenren once had a quarrel with Senior Brother Zhenxiu, but after a fight, they reconciled."
Lin Yun: “…”
After what you said, I started to pay attention to Brother Zhenxiu’s Taoist name.
Lin Yun silently complained in his heart, and then began to seriously explain the truth to Zhenli.
"There will be fights among fellow disciples. This is because people are different individuals after all. The world is bustling with people, all for profit, but the benefits are limited after all. Simply put, there is a spiritual herb in front of us. You have reasons to get this spiritual herb, and I have the same reason, but there is only one spiritual herb, so the fight begins."
When Zhenli heard this, he suddenly became thoughtful.
After a long while, she sighed and said, "You said it very well. Every time I asked Master, she told me to figure it out myself, but I was probably too stupid to figure it out. After hearing what you said, I realized that the root cause of the fight is so simple."
Lin Yun nodded. This little nun was quite good at complimenting people.
"However, if we can have two spiritual herbs, then we don't have to fight, right?"
"But there is only one spiritual herb, there won't be another one, so there can't be no fighting in this world."
Lin Yun said ruthlessly, but Zhenli did not feel frustrated. She clenched her fists and said, "I know what you mean, but if we can make more spiritual herbs, the struggle will naturally subside. This is also the right truth, isn't it?"
"That's your imaginary truth, not the truth."
"So what is truth?"
“Only what has been verified by practice can be called truth.”
Zhenli was confused for a while, then suddenly smiled and said, "Fellow Daoist Shi Jian, then we are really destined to meet!"
Lin Yun: “?”
Don't you know who I am?
