Chapter 9: The Misty Spirit Ethereal Sword Sect Gathers in All Directions to Open the Selection (1)

The vast treasure land is vast. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 The four sects of the world are the decisive force that maintains the balance and stability here.

Among the four sects, the Xuanyuan on the Kunlun Mountain in the west is based on the eight great ways of the Sanqing Miaofa, and the northern mustard temple is based on the promotion of Buddhism by the demons of the world. But the most mysterious of them is the Jade Void Sword Sect on the Ethereal Peak of the Eastern Mist Spirit.

The Jade Void Sword Sect did not have as long as the other three sects, but there were many elite disciples under the sect, and Feng Jianxin shuttled through the sea of clouds and traveled freely in the long wind. If it is said that the Fuyao Mountain Qi Sword Sect is shocking to the world, then the Jade Void Sword Sect can be said to be proficient in all the wonderful techniques related to the "sword".

Within the Sword Sect, it is further divided into two sects: Jade and Void. The palm shape of the Jade Sect is respected by the peerless sword; The Void Sect holds the intent, and the Endless Sword Intent is worshipped. And today, everyone in the Honghuang Dao Sect, except for Shuo Yi Sword Saint, the head of the Jade Void Sword Sect, whether it is the sword head of the Void Sect, or the sword head of the Jade Sect, Gu Jianming, they are all peerless figures with great prestige and Taoism. Just because the children of the Sword Sect are chic and uninhibited, and the dragon is the head and tail, they will never easily show up in the red dust floating world, and it is in the name of the Sword Sect that it is always like faintly in the ethereal and impermanent clouds, leading the people to infinite reverie.

Set your sights on the east of the desolate land. Thousands of miles to the East China Sea, it is a vast basin. The basin is composed of three parts, which resemble the leaves of a tree, so it is called the three-leaf basin. The climate of the three-leaf basin is pleasant, the rainfall is abundant, among which the fertile fields are thousands of miles, the vegetation is luxuriant, so it is also called the flood grain storage and the granary of the world. The road from the outside into the basin is blocked and long, and there are still countless people who travel thousands of miles to wade through mountains and rivers to enter every year, which can be seen to be a treasure land of outstanding people.

In the early morning of this day, when the fog was quite thick and the sky was still cloudy, many people had already begun to work hard. It's a small town with a population of thousands, but it's extremely lively. The people who came out of the clouds seemed to be in a fairyland, but the chickens and dogs barked endlessly, and the insects and birds cried one after another, adding a bit of fireworks to this freehand picture.

If you are a newcomer, you can't help but sigh: what a peaceful town with auspicious clouds.

A bustling street in the town was lined with stalls selling breakfast. An old man and a young man sat down under a noodle shop, asked Xiao Er for a few plates of recommended side dishes and two bowls of special noodles, and waited patiently.

The old man's hair is black and white, and the wrinkles on his face are like thousands of mountains and valleys, and if you look closely, it is not difficult to find the old wounds and scars, if you are dozens of years younger, I am afraid that you are an out-and-out domineering man.

The young man was in his twenties, not handsome, but with thick eyebrows and big eyes, honest and honest, and looked around at this time, looking extremely excited.

The old man looked at the young man's eyes quite gently, and said with a beard: "Xi'er, although it has only been a few days since you went out this time, what have you gained?" ”

The young man responded: "In the past, I stayed at home, devoted myself to cultivation, and did not know the world. But in the past few days, it is wonderful to see many people, although they are helpless, they are still happy and happy, and they are trying to manage their own lives. ”

"What's amazing?"

"Hmm...," the young man smiled, "I used to think that everyone envied cultivators, but after a few days, in fact, as long as you do what you like, it seems that no matter whether it is low or elegant, it will make people happy from the bottom of their hearts." ”

The old man nodded and smiled, "It's good to understand." You have been diligent and enthusiastic about cultivation since you were a child, and in the future on the path of cultivation, you must remember not to forget this passion for cultivation. ”

The young man nodded, "I see." Among the master's many disciples, I am not the most qualified, but this time the master asked the disciple to participate in the selection, and the disciple will definitely do his best and work hard. ”

The old man sighed and said, "Genius lies in both qualification and diligence. Your senior brothers with better qualifications than you have limited their vision to one place, and they don't know that there are people outside the world and there are heavens outside the world, but they are still arrogant. If you bring them here and see that this time the Eight Extremes selected the four elites like a carp crossing the river, I am afraid it will deal a blow to their confidence. Besides, they are not necessarily better than you in terms of Taoism alone. ”

The young man's face was slightly red, but he didn't expect that he was quite valued in the master's heart, and he secretly decided that he must make a name for himself in this once-a-decade Chongtian Eight Extremes selection.

After talking for a long time, the shopkeeper brought the freshly made steaming noodles and side dishes, and the two of them devoured them, and they wiped them out in a short time. After asking the store about the location of the Jade Void Sword Sect, the two of them did not hesitate and set off immediately.

It's a shame to say that for the Jade Void Sword Sect, the old man is also here for the first time. In the clouds and mist, there is no direction, and if you encounter a populated place along the way, you have to ask a question. By the afternoon of this day, although the clouds and mist were much thinner, they still did not mean to completely dissipate, but reached the rolling mountains, and gradually thickened again.

Presented at the feet of the two is a mountain road, winding into the white mist not far away, giving people the feeling of climbing to the sky.

After walking for a while, the young man asked, "Master, why don't we fly in the air?" ”

The old man said with a smile: "The Sword Sect is one of the four sects in the world, admired by hundreds of millions of people, we are a small sect, and it is the least respect to take this mountain road obediently." ”

"The disciple has been taught."

As he was talking, a burst of singing suddenly sounded in the young man's ears. This song wanders in the ethereal and misty mountains, from far to near, from light to heavy, sometimes high-pitched, sometimes low, sometimes uninhibited, sometimes persistent. If you listen carefully, it is:

At the beginning of the shower, the fragrance is no more. The dream of humane Nanke will eventually return to the ashes, and all ethnic groups will not be harmonious, what can I do? Jade bone ice heart, the wind makes shadows, and now a hundred years of spring and autumn, where is the neon dress? asked who he was in this life, and he smiled.

Last night, the west wind was cool and thin, and the garden was full of withering. The mountains are cold and foggy, and there is no confidant on the road for 90,000 miles, how can it be embarrassing? Luoxia is lonely, the sad wind is resounding, looking back to the green plum with Pei, and the white horse passing through the gap. Glimpse the glitz and glamour, and the lights are dim.

After the words were sung, an outline slowly appeared in the clouds. It was quite tall, with slender legs and a burly body, which at first glance looked extremely deformed. The young man was stunned for a while, and the old man beside him protected him, guarding him carefully and holding his breath.

After a few breaths, the silhouette finally emerged from the heavy fog. The two looked closely, only to find that they were greeted by a middle-aged man riding a mount that looked like a horse and a donkey.

The middle-aged man has a wide forehead, lying silkworm eyebrows, a straight nose, and thin lips. At this time, he hummed a small song, sat on the horse's back crookedly with his eyes closed, and the purple gold gourd in his hand was not covered, and the mellow and fragrant wine in it exuded a refreshing heart.

The young man sniffled and muttered, "It smells good."

The middle-aged man still listened to it in his ears two or three feet away, opened his eyes and smiled slightly: "What, children also want to have a bite?" He didn't hesitate, threw the purple gold gourd over, the young man took it, and took a sip, "Good wine!" ”

The old man glared at the young man and said apologetically: "The bad guy is abrupt, don't blame the gentleman." ”

The middle-aged man glanced at him, smiled and nodded, "The old gentleman is not polite, he is just a mountain villager, and he is not enough to worry about." But this kid knows how to drink? ”

The young man smiled, quite shy, "No... I drank very little and didn't understand. But as the saying goes, the aroma of wine is not afraid of deep alleys, and the wine of the predecessors floated over from afar, which still makes people want to stop, and eighty percent of it is good wine. Moreover, the kid only tasted one bite, and felt that it was sweet and mellow, sweet and spicy...", his face was slightly red, "Although I don't like to drink it, I also know that it should be good wine..."

The middle-aged man laughed, "It's okay, it's okay." Where are you going? ”

The old man hugged his fists and said: "Don't hide it, the two of us rushed to the Sword Sect Treasure Land to participate in the once-in-a-decade Chongtian Eight Extremes Selection." I don't know if this road is in the right direction? ”

The middle-aged man said "Huh", "The road is good." But since the two of you participated in the selection, they are naturally living immortals of the Dao, why don't they 'swish' and fly over, but instead walk on foot with evil people like me? ”

The old man was just about to speak, but the young man preemptively said: "The predecessors are ordinary people who don't understand the rules of cultivating immortals. My master said that the Jade Void Sword Sect is one of the four sects in the world, and it has great merits, so you must be in awe. What's more, when you first arrive, you have to walk up on foot. ”

The old man flicked his long sleeves and shouted angrily: "Elder speaks, why are you so unruly? ”

The young man stuck out his tongue, craned his neck and said, "I'm sorry... The disciple is so excited..."

The old man smiled bitterly at the middle-aged man and clenched his fists, "I'm smiling." ”

The middle-aged man hurriedly waved his hand, "You are living immortals, why are you still polite to me." He pointed his finger, "There is a stone tablet two hundred miles ahead, and when you get to the stone tablet, walk along the road on the right for another hundred miles, and you will arrive at the intersection of Shanmen Ling Road!" ”

The old man clenched his fists, "Thank you for your advice." ”

"Hey, you give me a fist salute, and I'll have to return one. You don't bother, I don't want to move yet! ”

When the young man heard this, he stepped forward and said, "Don't be rude to my master." ”

The middle-aged man was stunned for a long time, and then said with a smile: "A small pimple, an old pimple, that's it, I'll go, you can continue to hurry." ”

The young man wanted to say something, but was stopped by the old man. When the middle-aged man walked away and disappeared into the clouds and mist, the old man breathed a sigh of relief.

The young man said: "Master, although that person pointed us out, he spoke quite rudely, why are you still respectful?" Could it be that on this misty spirit, one person attains the Tao, and even the chicken and dog have to ascend to heaven? ”

The old man stared at him, "He said you are a little pimple, what a little pimple!" Do you know who he is? ”

The young man's face turned straight, "I don't know." Master, do you know? ”

The old man's face turned red and he coughed a few times, "Hmm... Actually, I don't know..."

"Then you..."

"The master hasn't finished talking yet, and he's interrupted again. Next time, go back to confinement. The old man blew his beard and glared, and then continued: "Although this person doesn't have a trace of aura all over his body, but... Not even breathing. ”

The young man's face turned pale, "What do you mean?" Have we run into ghosts? ”

"Stupid, stupid! The meaning of being a teacher is that either this person's body is weak and sickly, and his breath is so weak that it is difficult to detect. Either this human path is unfathomable, thinking that the master's skill is not only unable to detect the heaven and earth aura around him, but also unable to even feel his breathing. The old man was right, word by word, "Do you know what I said?" ”

The young man's face perked, "It really doesn't seem to be frail and sickly..."

"Wood pimple. He had just sung the song, and his voice was unusually even and not chaotic at all. Not to mention being frail and sickly, it is difficult for even a healthy young person to do it. Besides, he seems to be extremely familiar with this place, if the teacher's guess is good, this person is most likely a person from the Jade Void Sword Sect, and... The status is not low. ”

The young man suddenly realized, nodded and said, "It's still the master's old spicy... Otherwise, wouldn't I have offended a very powerful person just now? ”

"That's not going to be. With such an existence, how can it be compared to you as a little doll in your twenties? But it's always bad to be rude. When you go out in the future, don't be reckless. Did you hear me clearly? ”

The young man nodded, glancing in the direction where the middle-aged man had disappeared. I can't hear the previous song in my ears. The two of them did not rest, and continued to march up the mountain.

A total of three or four hundred miles, it was quite easy for the two of them. It was only later that the mountain road climbed steeply, and after noon, it seemed to have reached a thousand feet in the air. As far as the eye can see, there is an endless sea of clouds around you. There are mountain peaks exposed in it, there are flowing winds stirring shapes in it, and there are cranes that are long and soaring in the vast world.

Such a grand scene is really refreshing.

After walking for another half hour, the summit was finally reached.
