Beichen Sword Sect's Headmaster's Secret Records

Chapter 77 Common Sense
It is a dark and windy night. The mountain is pitch black with almost no light at all. The gullies and potholes on the ground are invisible. If you are not careful, you will sprain your ankle and fall, and get a lot of bumps on your head.

Fortunately, Tang Tong had only learned this skill in the past nine years, so his arithmetic was not too bad. With the fire stick and Qingshuang's sword light, the two finally found a dilapidated temple.

Tiedan held Qingshuang in his hand, and the sword blade shone brightly into the dilapidated temple.

The clay sculptures on the shrine had long been smashed, and the plaques and peach charms in the temple had been chopped up for firewood, so it was impossible to tell whether it was a mountain god temple or a land god temple.

But looking at the layout of this palace, it is after all the mountain-guarding deity in Qian Country who was appointed by the Demon Palace and was named number one deity in the list of gods.

Of course, now the entire Qian Kingdom has been razed to the ground, the people have been killed, and the whole place has been turned upside down. Naturally, the shrines in the small temples in the mountains have also been smashed to pieces.

However, the places specially chosen for opening altars and building temples are naturally very particular. They are usually Feng Shui treasures, spiritual veins and Qi points, mountain ridge veins, caves and blessed places, and other spiritual Qi hubs. Some places are also used to suppress demons and divine beasts. Tang Tong found this spiritual hub by inspecting the spiritual Qi flowing in the mountain veins.

"Can you draw a talisman to ward off evil spirits? You can't draw a talisman? Come on, I won't ask. Shine the light over here."

So Tiedan shone the sword light on Tang Tong, who was kneeling on the ground, drawing talismans with a wolf-hair brush dipped in saliva and cinnabar.

These talismans are all made of one Qi and are drawn in one continuous stroke. After they are completed, spray a breath of Taoist Qi on them and stick them on the beams or doorposts of a house. They will then take effect spontaneously and glow with golden light.

It may seem useless in the eyes of mortals, but if one opens the Dharma Eyes, or looks at it with a soul leaving the body, one can see that the talisman is golden, and then the spiritual energy of the earth veins burns fiercely, turning into a large ball of golden fire, emitting bright light in the void.

Those messy demons, ghosts, and monsters would be injured if they were illuminated by this talisman, and would die if they were hit by it.

Even if there are particularly powerful demons or ghosts with extraordinary powers, they dare not come in even if they see them from afar.

It's not that this talisman is so invincible that you can kill the boss in one shot. The main thing is that the boss has cultivated for hundreds or thousands of years and is not stupid. There is such a big Xuanmen talisman hanging at the door. Are you blind or something and still want to force it? Tell me, are you tired of living and want to die?
Tiedan saw the range of the talisman, and he also stepped on the beams, flew over the eaves and walls, and hung three talismans to ward off evil spirits in the hall, arranging them in the shape of a triangle, trapping the two of them in the core, and then put the remaining talisman in his arms.

Tang Tong was puzzled. "Why? It has a time limit."

Tiedan: "Just in case."

Tang Tong was speechless and let him be. Didn't they say that if they want something, they will grab it, and if they get in the way, they will kill. There is no point in reasoning with such a person.

Tang Tong found a piece of wood, cleaned it, lay down on the ground, turned over and went to sleep.

Tiedan also sat cross-legged, closing his eyes to rest...

Suddenly! Tiedan turned over and jumped onto the beam!
Tang Tong was shocked, "What, what are you doing!"

Tiedan squatted on the beam, listened carefully, and then jumped down.

"Beast, go around."

"……real or fake."

Tang Tong didn't sense anything, and he lay down and closed his eyes in disbelief...

"Whoosh!"

Tiedan jumped again, jumped onto the windowsill, and Qingshuang was unsheathed.

Tang Tong was shocked.
"Again, what is this again!"

Tiedan listened with bated breath for a while, then jumped back and sat down.

"The bird flew away."

Tang Tong just looked at him silently.

Tiedan just looked at him silently.

The two held their breath for a while.

Tiedan "clang!" He had to pull out the sword!
With a fierce look on his face, Tang Tong looked up in shock! He fell over headfirst, and the back of his head hit the wooden board, causing him to roll around in pain!

Then Tiedan listened attentively and put the sword back.

"It's raining."

"Are you kidding me!?"

Tang Tong jumped up!

Tiedan just looked at him.

Then, drop by drop, with a clatter, the raindrops fell on the bricks and tiles of the ruined temple.

It's raining……

Tang Tong was speechless and had to sit back down in disbelief.

After being disturbed for a long time, he couldn't fall asleep at all...

So Tiedan took the initiative to chat with him.

"Who is that person?" "What person?"

Tiedan pointed to his shoulder.

"Oh," Tang Tong said sullenly, "Zhengyao's Tianshou Zhenjun, Tianquan Peak's palm sword brother."

Tiedan frowned.

"Main Yao? Deputy Yao? Senior Brother with the Sword."

“How come you don’t know anything… Do you know Zi Wei Dou Shu? Zi Wei is the main star, with eleven main stars and seven secondary stars.

When the Beichen Guard was established, the Eighteen Flying Stars were used as the name, which meant to protect the Purple Star. Now, it is the division between the inner and outer mountains. "

Tang Tong couldn't sleep well because of this guy's torment, so he could only lie awake and explain Benshan's rules to him.

"Now, our Beichen Sword Sect, the top of Jiuyin, is the Big Dipper, and the left and right assistants are the Nine Peaks Sword Masters. They are all sword masters who have refined the Nine Lights Divine Sword and have reached the level of God Transformation. All matters of the mountain, big or small, are discussed by the Nine Peaks Sword Masters, and finally the Sect Master makes the final decision.

If there are many gods, they can also fight on the cloud platform to decide the winner and compete for the position of peak master. However, in the past, once the sword fight started on the cloud platform, too many people died. Moreover, the gods in the transformation realm often forge swords in seclusion all year round, so the nine peaks are usually short of people.

Therefore, the headmaster has changed the rules.

If the position of the peak master is vacant, the sword-transmitting disciples above the Nascent Soul stage under the peak master will select a sword-handling senior brother to take over the mountain affairs. As for whether it is a public election or a sword duel, it is up to each peak to decide, and the position will be filled when the peak reaches a certain level. Unless there is no direct sword-transmitting disciple left, then a sword duel will be arranged for each peak to compete.

Then coming down from the nine peaks are the backbone of the sect, the so-called eleven main stars of the mountain, the seven deputy stars of the outer mountains, and the eighteen flying star true masters.

These Feixing Zhenjuns are all Yuanying realm Zhenren who have transformed into sword infants and learned the sword to pass on the Dharma. In the past, if there was a vacancy, they would hold a Yuntai sword fight to compete for the position.

But the same thing goes, every time there is a sword fight on the Yuntai platform, the core disciples of our sect suffer heavy casualties and serious internal friction.

Therefore, nine of the eleven main stars are now in the position of Tianxu, Tiangui, Tianyin, Tianshou, Tiankong, Tianku, Tianguan, Tianfu, and Tianlu, all of which are held by the direct disciples of the Nine Peaks Sword Master. In the future, when the position of the Peak Master is vacant, they will also fill the position. This has become a rule. The remaining two stars, Hongluan and Wenchang, will be held by the other sword disciples of the Nine Peaks.

As for the seven vice stars of Tianzhang, Tianyi, Maotou, Tianren, Tianxing, Tianyao, and Tianku, they are still fought over by the outer mountain disciples. Of course, the Flying Star Immortal Fate is rare, so if the disciples of this mountain are willing, they can also participate in the sword fighting of the vice stars, but in this case they will be assigned to guard the outer mountain instead of practicing in this mountain. "

Seeing Tiedan's expressionless face and no reaction, it seemed that he didn't understand, so Tang Tong added,
"Becoming one of the Eighteen Flying Stars of our Sword Sect will not only allow you to share your sword with the Taoist temple, but you can also enter the Sword Pavilion to obtain swords, and you will also have the opportunity to watch and comprehend the Heavenly Book passed down by the Mysterious Lady."

"Book of Heaven!"

Tiedan narrowed his eyes suddenly.
"What is the Heavenly Book?"

Tang Tong almost fell over.

"What else could it be! Isn't it the nine heavenly books passed down by Xuannv, recording everything she learned throughout her life?
My nine major mystical sects and myriad Taoist traditions all evolved from these nine heavenly books!
But you don't have to aim too high or dream too much. Without the cultivation of the Spiritualization and the Five Arts Grandmaster realm, you can't understand it at all.

I heard that even if it is right in front of you, it is still a blank piece of paper, so it is called the Wordless Book."

So that’s how it is. The Faceless Immortal’s Jade Disk is also incomprehensible. That’s why everyone can’t understand it, so it’s called the Heavenly Book…

Tang Tong yawned.

"So you understand, don't always talk about this mountain outside the mountain. Only the Nine Peaks Sword Master and the Eleven True Stars can be considered the real mountain.

We are just chopping wood and sweeping the floor in the mountains. You have a sour face all day long, as if someone owes you something."

Tiedan looked at him.
"What about chopping wood?"

"Chopping wood is just chopping wood."

Tang Tong smacked his lips, took out the waist badge from his pocket, the one he had collected from Xiong before, and threw it to Tiedan.
"The elixir is being boiled in the elixir furnace, and the sword is being stewed in the sword furnace. How can we do this without someone to light the fire and chop wood? Monsters, ghosts, precious jades, and spiritual materials can all be used as spiritual firewood. We will be picking up firewood at the foot of the mountain. When we have gathered all the resources, the mountain will allow us to go back to practice.

Humph, in the past, the task of chopping wood was taken turns by the nine peak boys. It would take the five of us a month to collect the required number. You came up and killed the four of them. I wonder how long we will finish chopping wood."

Tiedan picked up the badge and took a look at it. It was heavy, made of fine iron, with the words "Kaiyang" engraved on it.

“Kaiyang…are you disciples of Kaiyang Peak?”

Isn't it Yaoguang...

"What kind of disciple is a sword boy who has just entered the mountain gate and has not even been given a sword or a name? We are just servants who temporarily live at the foot of Kaiyang Peak and do chores for the people on the mountain.

You have to wait until you have forged the sword embryo, and then participate in the Yuntai Competition, climb to the Nine Peaks, and take first place, becoming one of the nine Daozi selected every sixty years. Only then can you be considered to have a true destiny as an immortal, and be able to join the Nine Peaks and call yourself a sword sect disciple. "

After saying so much, Tang Tong lost his sleepiness and was curious.
"You said your master is the Vice-President Tianku Zhenjun? He is also one of the Eighteen Flying Star Zhenjuns, one of the most powerful in our sect.

Why didn't he teach you all this common sense?"

Unexpectedly, Tiedan lay on his side, turned his face away, and stopped talking.

Tang Tong was so angry that he almost died.
