Chapter 35: Spirit Mountain
Most of the Jianghu sects in the Fuyun Continent are named after their locations. Because the reason why most sects are formed is that a certain place is suitable for cultivation. The people who came here to cultivate gathered together, and after a long time, they became sects.
The same is true of Lingshan, which is both a sect and the name of the location.
This is one of the five major cultivation holy places in the Fuyun Continent. The whole mountain is overflowing with icy aura, the mountain is covered with snow all year round, and the river freezes in all seasons.
Because it is a holy place for spiritual practice, many people naturally come here. But not everyone has the opportunity to go up the mountain to practice, and not everyone can endure the hardships of the mountain. After all, Lingshan is notoriously poor - poor!
How poor is Lingshan? The disciples of other sects have monthly money to receive, and the disciples of Lingshan ...... It is necessary to tie it up.
Moreover, it is rumored in the rivers and lakes that a few decades ago, in order to refine the sword soul, Lingshan purchased a batch of demon souls from the Hall of All Souls, and the money has not been paid off yet, and every year there will be disciples of the Hall of All Souls to collect debts......
As for why Lingshan is so poor, this is very understandable. Because of the perennial snow on the mountain, crops cannot grow, and hundreds of people on the mountain have to buy food and clothing from outside.
Because of this, Kangning Town at the foot of Lingshan is extremely prosperous, which is in stark contrast to the poor Lingshan.
There is an unimaginably powerful barrier around the Spirit Mountain, separating the icy aura on the mountain from the outside world. As a result, the town of Corning was not affected by the cold of the mountains, and the climate was no different from other places.
This small town not only contracted the food and clothing of hundreds of disciples on the mountain, but also needed to receive thousands of cultivators who came to visit it.
Especially on the first day of February and the first day of August every year, Lingshan will hold a winter and summer disciple selection meeting. At that time, Kangning Town will be crowded with people, comparable to the capital.
Mu Zhifu arrived in Kangning Town on the evening of the first day of August. The town was overcrowded, there was not a single room to be found, and there was nowhere to stay.
The saddest thing is that the disciple selection meeting, which was supposed to last for seven days, ended in one day this time. She's gorgeously missed!
"What's going on? Didn't you say that you can sign up three days ago?" Mu Zhifu asked in surprise.
Hong Xiao was helpless: "Originally, yes, but this time it was the first sword in the world - Ye Hanyan, and only five people were accepted." ”
"Isn't that more of a careful selection?"
"That being said, she is the one who accepts the apprentice, and no one dares to question her casually circle five people. ”
Belch...... The world's first sword is famous, and everyone really dares to be angry but dare not speak.
Mu Zhifu pondered for a moment. "Let's find a place to stay first, and tomorrow we will go up the mountain and ask if there is any other way." ”
But now is the time of the selection meeting, how easy is it to stay in the house?
The two of them searched for more than an hour, and asked almost all places, but they couldn't find a vacant room.
In the end, Hong Xiao was furious and pulled Mu Zhifu into the largest restaurant and inn in Kangning Town-Tianxiang Building.
The shopkeeper only glanced at them and didn't raise his head: "The shop is full, and there is no place to sit." Let's find another place for the two girls. ”
Hongxiao didn't care about him, but said coldly: "Call your host out." ”
......
The next day, when Mu Zhifu finished breakfast and took Hong Xiao and Ning Shu to Lingshan, the whole town had already spread - last night, a mysterious woman bought Tianxianglou at a sky-high price. Tianxianglou changed hands overnight, and Kangning Town came to a great person.
However, at this moment, this incredible figure is stretching out his hands, trying to catch the snowflakes falling from the sky, and he is very excited. "Zhifu, look, so much snow!"
Mu Zhifu put on the cotton robe she had prepared in advance, and instructed with a smile: "Be careful not to freeze." ”
I have to say that when someone spends a lot of money because they are afraid that you will be tired, it will really be a little touching. Although Mu Zhifu knew where the silver of the red flute came from, she still couldn't help but feel that this product was handsome last night.
Ning Shu was also shocked by the flying snow on the mountain, and he flew around in the snow with his chatter, and he didn't feel cold.
Suddenly, a large snowball flew towards the bluebird in the sky. The bluebird didn't notice it for a while, and was slapped into the snowdrift next to the mountain road with a click.
Ning Shu is not easy to bully, he has not yet gotten up to use his aura and flap his wings. The snowflakes around him flew up quickly with the whirlwind, and the blades generally blew towards the sneak attacker.
With a wave of the red flute brocade sleeves, he easily knocked out the whirlwind that flew in, and his phoenix eyes narrowed slightly.
The little bird in the sky was agitated, turned around and fled.
Oh my God! It really didn't see who threw the snowball! I knew it was this ancestor, and it didn't dare to fight back if it had the courage to do so.
Ning Shu flew in front, and Hongxiao chased behind, throwing snowballs at it while chasing.
Mu Zhifu followed behind them with a smile on her eyebrows. She could see clearly that Hongxiao was obviously not really angry, but joking. Otherwise, Ning Shu's bird feathers would have been plucked out long ago.
After escaping for a while, Ning Shu also realized this problem. It tentatively fought back again, and the red flute still just threw it with a snowball.
At this time, Ning Shu had no scruples, and the whirlwinds of all sizes fanned behind him. The red flute still dodged easily, but Mu Zhifu was not as good as her, and under a few rounds of attacks, she was blown snow.
Finally, unable to bear it anymore, Mu Zhifu joined the battle. The two of them were a bird, and they fought all the way to Lingshan.
About an hour later.
"Who is here...... Ahh
Mu Zhifu threw a big snowball at Ning Shu and slapped it firmly on a woman's face.
Hongxiao and Ning Shu looked back at her in unison, with small eyes, three points of complaining and seven points of schadenfreude...... Mu Zhifu really wanted to tear these two bastards apart.
"This ...... Sister, are you alright?" Mu Zhifu was slightly embarrassed. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to. ”
The woman reached out to brush the snow off her face and looked at the visitor angrily. "Who are you, dare to make a fuss in my Lingshan!"
Mu Zhifu arched her hand and said sincerely: "In Xia Mu Zhifu, I have admired Lingshan swordsmanship for a long time, and I came to Lingshan to learn art. ”
When the woman heard this, she carefully looked at the clothes on her body, a trace of disdain flashed in her eyes, and she snorted arrogantly: "Even if you dare to come to Lingshan to apprentice? ”
Hong Xiao smiled, daring to dislike her Zhifu? Is this woman tired of living? But she just wanted to step forward, but was pulled behind by Mu Zhifu.
This kind of trivial matter, as long as there are people, it will often happen, and Mu Zhifu is used to it.
Her expression was still calm, and she was very polite: "Dare to ask this sister, how can I worship the Spirit Mountain?" said as she stuffed a silver ingot into the woman's hand.
The woman's expression changed, and she checked the silver in her hand, very satisfied. Silently put the silver into his sleeve, spoke again, and his tone was much better: "You're late, this disciple selection meeting has ended, let's come again on the first day of February." ”
"Is there no other way?"
The woman was helpless: "If it was usual, there might still be, but the master went into retreat after selecting a new disciple yesterday." If you can't see it, you can't accept any more apprentices. ”
