Chapter 6 Shushan Swordsman

Lu Xiaozhuo woke up slowly and found that he was already lying on the bed, with Hua Yufei standing beside him. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info his mind was blank, and he didn't know how he had come here. He jumped up in surprise, looked around in a hurry, and shouted, "Where is this?" Who am I? ”

Hua Yufei hurriedly walked over, stroked Lu Xiaozhuo's shoulder, and said, "Lu Shaoxia, don't panic, this is the guest room of Shushan." Shaoxia climbed this sword edge in only one day and one night, thinking that his body was extremely tired, and the air on the mountain was thin, so Shaoxia fainted. Now that I've woken up, it's fine. ”

After Lu Xiaozhuo heard this, he remembered that he had already arrived in Shushan, patted his head, and said, "Oops! That's right! I'm here to find a swordless predecessor in Shushan! Now that I have reached the edge of a sword, please take me to the old road of Shushan as soon as possible! ”

Hua Yufei waved his hand and said, "Not busy!" Not busy! Shaoxia's body is still weak, and he still needs to recuperate for a while. The old road of Shushan is full of dangers and obstacles, if it is not full of energy, I am afraid that it will definitely not be able to pass! ”

Recuperate for a while? When Lu Xiaozhuo heard this, he couldn't wait, he didn't come to Shushan for a vacation. He hurriedly said: "Lu's energy is okay now, don't worry about brother." ......" He said as he got out of bed to leave, but as soon as his legs and feet hit the ground, he found that he had no strength at all, and he was about to collapse to the ground before he could stand, but fortunately he was supported by Hua Yufei.

Hua Yufei slowly helped Lu Xiaozhuo back to the bed and said, "Lu Shaoxia is going to joke with his life!" Since you want to see your teacher, you have to take care of your body. ”

Seeing that his legs were so unassuming, Lu Xiaozhuo could only sigh that he was powerless and said, "Alas! In that case, how about I rest here for the night today and set out early tomorrow morning to meet the commander? ”

Yihua Yufei looked, with Lu Xiaozhuo's current state, how could just one night be enough? But seeing that Lu Xiaozhuo was so eager, Hua Yufei didn't want to say more, and let's watch it after tonight. Hua Yufei agreed, and after instructing Lu Xiaozhuo, he left.

Since the retreat of the Wuji Pavilion of the Wujian Dao people, in the past five years, people from all walks of life in the rivers and lakes have often come to visit, but they are unwilling to go to the old road of Shu Mountain. Although Hua Yufei said that he often went to Wuji Pavilion to meet his master, he never walked through the old road with his legs. He only had a bird's-eye view from the air, and he already felt creepy, and even wondered how his master had walked through it back then. So, Lu Xiaozhuo, who is nameless and nameless on the rivers and lakes and was almost eaten by wolves, could he have walked the thousand-year-old road? I'm afraid it's just a waste of death. However, on the other hand, Hua Yufei has never seen a sword edge like Lu Xiaozhuo, who is so persistent that he can climb to a sword edge with only one day and one night, and maybe Lu Xiaozhuo really has the physical strength and courage that ordinary people don't have. Thinking about it, Hua Yufei couldn't help but look at the Wuji Pavilion that was faintly visible in the distance.

Early the next morning, Hua Yufei was woken up by the shouts outside the house, and when he listened carefully, it turned out to be Lu Xiaozhuo calling him, his voice was quite loud, and his strength was quite strong. Hua Yufei hurriedly washed, changed clothes, and went out.

Lu Xiaozhuo was standing at the door of the main hall, looking around, and as soon as he saw Hua Yufei, he trotted over, and said with a smile on his face: "Brother Tai, let's go to the old road of Shushan now!" ”

Hua Yufei looked at the lively Lu Xiaozhuo with amazement, he couldn't believe that this person looked like he was going to die yesterday, could it be that he really had innate divine power? Regardless of whether Hua Yufei believes it or not, since Lu Xiaozhuo has recovered his strength, then Hua Yufei has no reason not to take Lu Xiaozhuo to Shushan's hometown.

Bypassing the main hall, passing through the compound, and coming out of the back door of the Shushan faction, there is the back of a sword blade. Looking from here, I knew that Yijian Feng was not just a straight mountain, but there was a protruding stone bridge on the back, smoothly stretching into the distance. At the other end of the stone bridge, only clouds and fog were visible, and there seemed to be a mountain peak faintly. Hua Yufei pointed to the stone bridge and said, "This is the entrance to the old road of Shushan." Lu Shaoxia, please follow this road to the opposite mountainside, and then climb to the top of the mountain, you can see the Wuji Pavilion. ”

Lu Xiaozhuo looked at it. The stone bridge is narrow enough for one person to walk through, and there are no railings on either side. The bridge is covered with moss, and the stones are sparse and porous, which I think has been corroded by wind and rain for thousands of years. From the abyss under the bridge, you can still hear the sound of the cold wind whirring. Lu Xiaozhuo turned around and asked: "Is it true that no one has walked through this old road of Shu Mountain for nearly a thousand years?" ”

Hua Yufei replied: "Yes, except for the family teacher, no one else has walked by. ”

"Oh, then, I'll leave him today!" Lu Xiaozhuo stepped on the stone bridge, straightened his hands, and slowly moved forward, thinking: "If this stone bridge has decayed and is not stepped on, I will trample it down and fall into the valley, and there will be no more Shushan old ways in this world in the future!" ”

"Lu Shaoxia, please go slowly, there is one more thing you have to be careful!" Hua Yufei suddenly shouted, "There is occasional miasma in this mountain, which can cause fatigue, when the young man walks on the old road, he must try to hold his breath!" ”

Lu Xiaozhuo didn't dare to turn around, only turned his back to thank him, and continued to walk forward. After walking two or three steps, he slowly squatted down, took out the rope from his body, bypassed the stone bridge for two weeks, and then formed a loop and tied it around his waist, so that he was not afraid of accidentally falling to the bottom of the mountain. Then, holding the rope in one hand and still straight in the other, he continued to walk slowly. Hua Yufei stood at the head of the bridge, staring intently at Lu Xiaozhuo until he finally disappeared into the clouds.

Lu Xiaozhuo was still thinking in his heart as he walked: "I think that back then, this non-sword Taoist was also twenty years old and went down the mountain alone, wandering the rivers and lakes, just like now, so does it mean that I can also 'compete with the heroes of Jiangnan in the future without any defeat'?" ”

After walking three or four feet away, Lu Xiaozhuo found that the stone bridge was not flat, but a slope all the way down, and it was even more slippery to walk on the moss. There was a white expanse in front of me, and I didn't know where it would slide. Compared with the previous mountain road, this old road of Shushan does not require much physical strength, but it takes mental effort. Lu Xiaozhuo was cautious all the time, for fear that if he fell, he would never recover. With each step, he had to stop three times, step on the stone in front of him to see if it was strong, see if there were any signs of breakage, and listen to the sound of strong winds.

Despite this caution, Lu Xiaozhuo gradually felt that his limbs began to be disobedient again, especially his two legs, which became more and more weak. Could it be that yesterday's fatigue has not been eliminated? No wonder Hua Yufei said that he would have to recuperate for a while and come back. But when I woke up this morning, I was obviously not sour or numb, and I hadn't walked far, so why were I tired again? After a while, my head began to dizzy as well, and the vision in front of me became even more blurry. Could this be because of the thin mountain air? But this stone bridge is going down, why do you get more and more dizzy as you go? "Could it be ......" Lu Xiaozhuo's heart suddenly shocked, "Miasma? Is it really as Hua Yufei said, if you are hit by a miasma, your limbs will be weak? Lu Xiaozhuo looked around again, although there were clouds and mist in front of and behind, but he could still see clearly in front of him, and he didn't see any strange gas? Could it be that this miasma is colorless and tasteless?

Lu Xiaozhuo hurriedly covered his mouth and nose with his left sleeve, but who knew that this time his body suddenly crooked, the moss under his feet slipped, his legs became weak, and the whole person fell. Fortunately, a rope had already been tied to his body, and the stone bridge had not collapsed yet, and Lu Xiaozhuo was suspended in mid-air, so he did not fall to the bottom.

If this one didn't pay attention, he almost died. Lu Xiaozhuo's head is no longer dizzy, his legs are not numb, but his heart is still pounding. He grasped the rope tightly with both hands, and with all the strength of his body, he climbed up again little by little. In this miasma-filled place, he never dared to stay any longer, and hurriedly accelerated forward.

As long as this miasma is there, Lu Xiaozhuo can no longer move slowly. Anyway, he simply untied the rope, held his breath, spread his legs and ran across the stone bridge. Along the way, he always stared straight ahead, not daring to look at his feet; He no longer directs the two legs to how they should walk, but only their own habits; There is no room to worry about whether it will fall, only how far it is from the opposite mountainside. He didn't know how long he had been running. As the opposite mountainside became clearer and clearer, he also became more and more powerful, and his steps became faster and faster. Seeing that there were only a few steps left, he jumped directly to the opposite mountainside, and finally said goodbye to the stone bridge that was not for people to walk at all.

There is still half a mountain road behind, how can I get to the Wuji Pavilion at the top of the mountain? Lu Xiaozhuo didn't have the energy to think about this, just after crossing the stone bridge, he was still in shock, he just wanted to sit on this mountainside and take a breath peacefully. But he didn't know that the mountainside was not stable, and when he jumped down to the mountainside, the rocks under his feet had loosened, and after a while, he only heard a "boom", and it all collapsed.

Before Lu Xiaozhuo could react to what was going on, he saw that the stone bridge he had just walked on was already above him. He hurriedly stepped on the falling rocks and kept jumping upward, but the whole mountain seemed to have a force that dragged him down. He would not give up his life so easily, so he jumped three times with all his strength, and then grabbed his right hand upwards and finally grabbed the end of the stone bridge. Before he could hold it steady, he felt that his right hand was empty, and the rocks at the end of the original stone bridge were also broken. In the end, Lu Xiaozhuo could only fall down with the broken rock. He didn't have any thoughts, just stared blankly at the stone bridge above his head getting farther and farther away from him, farther and farther away. ……

In a coma, Lu Xiaozhuo felt that his body was getting lighter and lighter, as if floating in the air, could it be that his soul was ascending to heaven? He finally opened his eyes, and he could still see his surroundings clearly. It turned out that he was in a garden, surrounded by shady trees, flowers blooming on the trees, flowing water in the forest, and small bridges on the water. He slowly got up, staggered across the bridge, and saw a pavilion in the woods, in which sat a man, dressed in a robe, holding a whisk, his eyes closed, his expression calm, and his beard and hair were gray. Could this be a fairy? He cautiously walked to the pavilion.

"Are you awake?" The old man in the pavilion spoke first, but his eyes were still closed.

Lu Xiaozhuo looked around, there should no longer be a third person in this garden, so he asked, "May I ask where this is?" Who is the old man? ”

The old man slowly opened his eyes, looked at Lu Xiaozhuo, and said, "You are not far away, and you don't hesitate to risk yourself, isn't it just to see the poor road?" ”

"Huh?" Lu Xiaozhuo was stunned for a moment and thought about it, "That's right! I'm walking the old road of Shu Mountain, and I'm going to go to Wuji Pavilion to see the people of Wujian Dao. In this way, could this old man be ......? He hurriedly fell to the ground and said loudly: "The old man must be a Taiji Sword Wukendao person?" Junior Tianshan Lu Xiaozhuo, come to visit! ”

"Alas!" The old man sighed and said: "The poor road has lived in seclusion here many years ago, in order to avoid idlers going up the mountain to disturb the Qing cultivation, there has been a rule, those who want to see the poor road must walk through the thirty miles of Shu Mountain. Over the past few years, people in the rivers and lakes have been discouraged, and the poor roads have been cleared. Until today, you are the first person who dares to try the old road of Shushan, and you can also completely walk across the stone bridge, although it is not to the top of the mountain, but it is rare, how can you bear to avoid it again? ”

Lu Xiaozhuo still lowered his head and said, "In this way, the junior was in distress in the mountains just now, and he was also rescued by the senior?" ”

"Yes." The Wujian Daoist curled his beard, nodded, and said, "Yesterday, Hua Yufei had already arrived here with the sword, and told the poor Dao about your desire to come to the Wuji Pavilion today. Ever since you were on the stone bridge, Poor Road has been secretly watching, and when you fell into the valley, Edgeworth rescued you and brought you to this Infinite Pavilion. ”

Lu Xiaozhuo raised his head suddenly, looked up at the non-sword man, and hurriedly bowed down again, shouting: "Thank you seniors for saving your life!" ”

The non-kendo man waved his hand and said, "That's it! That's it! Get up and speak! You have worked so hard to see the poor road, what is the matter? ”

Lu Xiaozhuo stood up and said, "Actually, there is nothing big about the juniors coming this time. The younger generation studied under the Tianshan Sword Sect, learned the sword since childhood, and was quite interested in the world's famous swords. ”

"Oh?" The non-sword-free man pulled his beard again and laughed, "So, you're looking at the Taiji Sword?" ”

Lu Xiaozhuo replied: "Exactly! Please allow the younger generation to take a look. ”

"Hehe, you have to look at the sword, but it's not difficult." After the non-sword man finished speaking, he waved lightly with his right hand.

Lu Xiaozhuo suddenly felt that something was passing by, like a breath of air, like a gust of wind, and more like a sword. Then, I heard a rustling sound behind me. He looked back and saw that there was a lot of stump and leaves that had fallen behind him. "This? ......" Lu Xiaozhuo knew that these branches and leaves were knocked down by the dust of the non-sword Daoist just now, but he didn't know what it had to do with the Taiji Sword.

The non-sword man said, "This is the Taiji sword you want to see." ”

"Tai Chi Sword? Is this dust? Lu Xiaozhuo pointed to the dust and asked.

"Definitely!" The Wukendo man touched the dust and said, "It's just an ordinary dust." The so-called Tai Chi Sword is actually the sword qi that Poor Dao just swung. ”

"Sword Qi?" Lu Xiaozhuo is no stranger to sword qi, people who practice swords will more or less carry sword qi, when the blade is waved, the sword qi will also be emitted, but the sword qi he knows, at least there must be a sword before it can be played, how can there be this sword qi swung out of thin air?

The non-sword man continued, "Yes, sword qi! The so-called sword qi is to use the true qi in the sword person's body, fuse with the sword, and turn into sword qi. Therefore, there are two sources of sword qi: people and swords. But if you reach the highest realm, even if you don't have a sword in your hand, you can also become a sword in your heart, and this so-called Tai Chi sword is also! Tai Chi, the Tao is natural, so all things in heaven and earth, such as grass, trees, wind and sand, fallen leaves and flying flowers, can be swords. ”

Lu Xiaozhuo listened to this, and he didn't know what he was talking about, because he had never heard anything like that, but he knew that the Taiji Sword that the non-sword Daoist people said must be a profound knowledge, so he sighed: "The younger generation is short-sighted, and I think that the Taiji Sword is also a rare and famous sword like the Xiyue Sword I sent it, but it originally referred to a sword qi martial art, which is really incredible!" ”

The non-sword man said: "When the sword sect is today, it can be divided into two categories: for example, you Tianshan sword sect, with a Xiyue sword across the world, all the martial arts are tied to the sword, called the sword sect; And for example, my Shushan swordsman, with the sword qi of the void instead of the sword blade of reality, pay attention to the cultivation of internal strength, called the qi sect. Although they are both swordsmen, they are very different! ”

Sword Sect? Airbender? Although Lu Xiaozhuo still didn't understand it very well, he probably understood it a little. Anyway, this move of the Shushan Swordsman Sect Taiji Sword is really good, although he didn't see the famous sword, but he didn't run this trip in vain. So, he bowed to the non-sword people again, and said: "The younger generation has been taught by the predecessors today and benefited a lot, and now that the Taiji Sword has been seen, the younger generations will no longer disturb the Qing cultivation of the seniors, so I will leave!" ”

Unexpectedly, the non-sword Taoist actually stopped Lu Xiaozhuo again and said: "You went to the Central Plains from the Tianshan Mountains to fight with the heroes of Luoyang, I'm afraid it was to glorify the lintel of your Sword Sect, right?" ”

Lu Xiaozhuo was shocked, turned around and asked, "The seniors actually know about this?" ”

The non-sword man laughed again and said, "Although the poor Dao has lived in the mountains for a long time, he has also heard of major events in the rivers and lakes. Since you are going to explore the rivers and lakes, there is an opportunity now. Soon after, it will be the time of the Huashan Divine Battle, do you know? ”

"Huashan Divine Battle?" Lu Xiaozhuo naturally didn't know anything about this.

"Not bad! Twenty years ago, the sword god Ouyang Xu and your ancestor sword demon Dugu Hong fought a decisive battle on the top of Huashan, and then ended up winning with the sword god. Five years later, the sword god convened all kinds of martial arts heroes in Huashan to hold a martial arts conference. The world's divine weapons are all in this duel, so it is called the divine soldier duel. The final winner of the Divine Warrior Duel is promoted to the leader of the Martial Arts Alliance. The Sword God naturally deservedly became the first alliance leader. Since then, every five years, the Divine Soldier Decisive will be held in Huashan. Ten years ago, the Sword God retired, and Zhong Liyan became the new alliance leader, but he lost to the Meteor Sword in the last Divine Soldier Duel. ”

Lu Xiaozhuo understood all the words of the non-sword Taoist this time, and said in his heart: "It turns out that there are such interesting things in the Central Plains martial arts, I knew this, what else should I go to Luoyang, and what Shushan will I come to?" Just go directly to Huashan to participate in that divine battle. Qin Yi, who I saw last time, turned out to be not only the first in the world, but also the leader of the martial arts alliance! Thinking of Qin Yi, he thought of the "Divine Soldier List" that Qin Yi gave him, and couldn't help asking: "The younger generation has heard that there is also a "Divine Soldier List" in the world. Isn't "Divine Soldier List" the ranking of Divine Soldiers? ”

The non-sword man replied: "The "Divine Soldier List" is the seat of the sword god for the world's divine soldiers five years ago, although it is not the result of the divine soldiers' decisions, but it is also mostly determined by the divine soldiers' decisions. ”

Lu Xiaozhuo thought to himself: "The "Divine Soldier List" is really related to the Divine Soldier Duel. Last time, since Qin Yi gave me the "Divine Soldier List", why didn't he tell me about the Divine Soldier Decision? ”

The Wukendao man continued: "The poor Dao has long been hidden in the mountains and forests, and it is no longer easy to compete with others, so he has never participated in the Huashan Divine Battle. However, thanks to the promotion of the sword god, he still listed the poor road in the "Divine Soldier List", and also sent a hero post to Shushan. Poor Dao sent his disciples to attend on his behalf every time. This time, Poor Dao wanted to send Hua Yufei to Huashan. If you are in a good mood, go with you. ”

Lu Xiaozhuo was overjoyed, and even said: "Thank you for giving your juniors such a good opportunity!" The younger generation will go to find Brother Hua. ”

The non-sword Taoist raised his hand and said, "No need, he is waiting for you at the foot of Shu Mountain now, and the poor Dao will send you down the mountain." After saying that, he waved the dust again.

Lu Xiaozhuo felt a sword aura again, but this time it didn't just pass by him, but turned into a gust of wind, pushing him straight back, until he withdrew from the park, and flew out of the cliff. But he didn't fall straight down, but slowly fell as if he was being supported. He didn't feel anything until his feet hit the ground, and when he looked around, he was at the foot of the mountain. He only felt like he was sleepwalking, not knowing whether what had just happened was true or false. At this moment, Hua Yufei's call was already heard in his ears. So, he followed Hua Yufei and went to Huashan.
