I haven't been back for a long time, and the small courtyard is overgrown with weeds and fallen leaves. It will take some time to clean it up.
Chen Jin did not dislike it and did it himself. During the cleaning process, his mind was at ease and he gradually became as calm as water.
Zhongnan Sword Sect is one of the top ten Daoist doors in the world, divided into Upper Court and Lower Court, which are actually the difference between the inner door and the outer door.
Among them, Upper Court is located in the real Zhongnan Grotto-Heaven, while Lower Court is built in the mortal world, which is South Mountain.
As the proverb goes: longevity is South Mountain.
The mountain he refers to means that the mountain is everlasting and evergreen.
Zhongnan Sword Sect Lower Court is entrenched in South Mountain, and has carved out several peaks in the core area as the foundation of the dojo, and has set up a mountain guard formation. From the outside, it looks like a fairyland surrounded by clouds and mist.
There are poems to prove it:
"Taiyi is close to the capital of heaven, with mountains and seas. The white clouds look back and merge together, and the green mist comes in to see nothing."
For thousands of years, countless literati and scholars have come here in admiration, leaving many excellent poems and poems. Many people also want to visit the fairy mountain, and they have come here to explore the secluded places, and even live in seclusion, hoping to impress the immortals with their hard work.
However, immortal fate is rare and hard to come by. Those hermits may die of old age in the mountains or be buried in the belly of an animal. Only one of them in ten thousand can truly worship through the gates of Zhongnan Sword Sect Lower Court.
Chen Jin belongs to this "one", and he was discovered and favored by the old immortal master in the market, and then took South Mountain with him.
It's just that he is different from others. The old immortal master discovered him, but did not formally accept him as a disciple, and allowed Chen Jin to develop freely, just like a free rein.
This is all because the old immortal master himself is an undisciplined Daoist. He likes to travel around the world, play in the world of mortals, and is not on the mountain all year round.
Chen Jin is really up to par, breaking through all the way and gaining momentum.
It's a pity that the situation is so bad because Upper Court was too eager to be promoted and eager for success, which ruined Qi Seed.
When the old immortal master came back, the ship was already in ruins and it was difficult to save it. At that time, he pointed at Chen Jin and sighed, "This Human Tribulation cannot be avoided."
Chen Jin felt that he had failed the old immortal master's expectations, and he felt ashamed, so he became depressed, and only then did a series of accidents happen.
Now he is reborn and returns to the mountain. The old immortal master is not here. It is said that he went down the mountain three years ago and has not returned yet.
Chen Jin thought, is the other party just looking for him?
But the timing is a bit off.
After all, Chen Jin at that time had just been poisoned by Yan Hui, so it would be difficult for others to discover that he was missing.
The Sword Sect Lower Court has its own various restraint systems, but they are not too strict. Except for the prohibitions on bullying the master and destroying the ancestors, killing fellow disciples, and killing innocent people indiscriminately, there is a lot of freedom in other aspects. For example, if a disciple wants to go out to do business, looking for fortuitous opportunity, etc., he only needs to ask the teacher for permission and register.
As for the time you can go out, there is no strict limit. It can last for a few months, a year, or even two or three years.
Of course, normal things don't last that long.
If you haven't returned to the mountain after being away for three or five years, it means something may have happened.
At that time, Lower Court will launch targeted relevant procedures to investigate and find.
But the world is huge, and without clear clues, trying to find someone is like looking for a needle in a haystack.
No matter how powerful Zhongnan Sword Sect is, it is impossible to cover everything.
In addition, we have to look at who the missing person is?
For ordinary Lower Court disciples, it is estimated that only his master is more concerned.
In other words, if Chen Jin has not returned for a long time, Lower Court will send people to look for it, but most of them will do it hastily.
I can't blame the Sword Sect for being perfunctory, it's really difficult to handle.
When you go out to repair your home, you may encounter too many variables.
In the final analysis, you are responsible for your own misfortunes and blessings.
After Chen Jin came back this time, he first went to the Shanmen Registration Office to explain and register, and then returned to his small courtyard.
Compared with Yan Hui, it's all about the front and rear feet.
There is no way, I have a master to take care of me; Chen Jin can only rely on myself.
In the Zhongnan Sword Sect and Lower Court, disciples choose their own sites in the mountains and then build houses.
You don't have to do it yourself, there are specialized craftsmen, you just need to inform the other party of the requested style, etc.
Most people build independent courtyards, which are simple and elegant.
People who practice spiritual practice should not cling to external objects.
Some ascetics simply build a cave in the mountain and live in it.
The small courtyard of Chen Jin is nothing special. It has two bedrooms and one living room. It is equipped with basic furniture, such as wooden beds and wooden tables. The wood used is mountain purple wood, which is hard and durable and cannot be eaten by insects. Just wipe it with a rag and it will be as good as new in no time.
Speaking of which, he hasn't lived in a formal house for a long time, not counting the simple squatters like Yan Household Market.
Now living back in the small courtyard on the mountain, it feels a bit strange.
Chen Jin actually began to miss the shrine under the old banyan tree and the bird's nest on the ancient tree...
But when you live, you have to move forward.
So he took out a bronze mirror and looked at his current appearance, which was indeed a bit unsightly.
Starting from two dozen Yan Household Stronghold, it was a night of noisy, and then they were running away and running around again. How much wastage was done?
To put it bluntly, the oil is about to run out.
He couldn't stand it anymore, so he quickly went to get water to fill a bucket, then soaked in it and took a pleasant bath.
After washing up, he put on the blue clothes representing the disciples of Sword Sect Lower Court, and finally regained his appearance.
After doing some trivial things, I took out Slay Evil Sword from the new leather bag and remained silent.
The hilt of this sword was wrapped with a strip of cloth to hide the name, but it was useless.
Among Lower Court, Slay Evil Sword has a good reputation. Many of the students have seen it. As long as they see it, they will recognize it immediately.
The key point is that Su Zhen is gone and Slay Evil Sword has been returned to its original owner, but it has become a confusing account that cannot be explained.
If you want to change this situation, there is only one way, which is to completely refine Slay Evil Sword into a real flying sword.
That's not easy.
Anyway, with Chen Jin's current level of cultivation, it is impossible to do it, so he can only temporarily put the magic sword in a high cabinet and store it away.
Storing it in a leather bag is not safe, it is best to keep it in a more private place.
For example Pot Heaven Bag.
He immediately took out the Pot Heaven Bag.
Even if the item is returned to its original owner, this bag can be displayed openly.
However, due to the change of ownership of Pot Heaven Bag, a ban was imposed on it by Yan Hui, so it still needs to be refined.
Compared with the difficulty of refining Slay Evil Sword, refining the restrictions on Pot Heaven Bag is undoubtedly much simpler and is within one's ability.
Chen Jin is quite looking forward to how many things and treasures will be contained in the bag.
Although Yan Household is just a side business, with a hundred years of operation and accumulation, it will definitely find some good things.
There is no doubt that these good things will be handed over to my uncle for safekeeping and stored in Pot Heaven Bag.
This is both safe and convenient.
It's just that the other party never imagined that he would be taken advantage of.
