16. Woo
Today is the ninth day of the fourth month, the ninetieth birthday of Zhang Sanfeng, the head of the Wudang faction, Zhang Zhenren, and the various sects in the rivers and lakes that are friendly with Wudang, or want to make friends, have all brought congratulatory gifts to Wudang Mountain, which naturally includes the Emei faction.
Jiang Xiyi and his entourage came to a big mountain, looked up but saw lush greenery, sideways to see dense forests, the mountain here is majestic, a mountain peak towers into the clouds, about enough, so that people can't see very clearly, here is Wudang Mountain, the peak is the Tianzhu Peak where the Wudang faction is located.
At this time, it is the end of spring and the beginning of summer, and the road is bustling and welcoming, with green shade and a pleasant climate in the mountains, which makes people feel very comfortable.
Now, Jiang Xiyi and his party are stopping at the mountain spring next to the mountain road to drink horses, this mountain spring water is clear and cold, Jiang Xiyi took a handful of mouthfuls, and suddenly felt a burst of sweetness wrapped around the tip of the tongue, Tianshu saw this, picked up a few kettles that had run out of water, and took water at another spring.
After a short rest, Jiang Xiyi ordered everyone to get on their horses and continue to go up the mountain.
When the group just turned over and got on the horse, a thin young man, his face was covered with sweat mixed with blood, his hands were holding a person horizontally, and his feet began to carry out light skills, and he rushed up the mountain like fleeing for his life.
He walked fast and steadily, and his upper body did not move at all.
Jiang Xiyi looked at the young man and felt very strange, so he asked, "Tianxuan, why did that young man run up the mountain, do you know?" ”
The woman who answered was the woman who gave Jiang Xiyi a pill in the forest outside Xuejiazhuang that day, and she smiled: "That young man is probably going to Wudang Mountain to seek medical treatment, or to save his life." ”
Jiang Xiyi frowned and said, "Seek medical treatment?" Cure? Is there still a miracle doctor on Wudang Mountain? ”
Tiantong said with a smile: "I don't know if there is a miracle doctor, but there is a master here, seeing that person in his arms, I am afraid that there is only one breath left, and he may be going to ask Zhang Zhenren." ”
Tianxuan said: "Exactly, although I only glanced at it, I have seen it clearly, the man's eyes are closed, his face is like gold paper, and his feet and hands are hanging down softly, and his finger bones, wrist bones, leg bones, and arm bones are bleeding. ”
Tiantong said: "Could it be that you can't even save you?" ”
Tianxuan smiled but said nothing.
Although Jiang Xiyi didn't know where the thirteen people of the Southern Dipper and the Beidou came from and why they appeared in Taixuanzhuang, she always believed that these thirteen people were almost omnipotent and omnipotent, although Tianxuan did not answer, but in Jiang Xiyi's heart, this person Tianxuan must be able to be cured.
After another journey, the mountain road became narrower, and the two horses could not walk side by side, so the fourteen people lined up in a line and slowly ascended to Tianzhu Peak.
At this time, the mountain gate of the Wudang faction was close at hand, Tianshu stepped forward to inquire, and before he could open his mouth, a Wudang disciple made a Taoist salute to Tianshu, and said softly: "If the chivalrous warrior wants to go to Wudang, please untie the weapon." ”
Jiang Xiyi's voice was sent to the ears of the two Wudang disciples along with the wind, and it was very clear, "Why do you want to untie the weapon?" ”
Another Wudang disciple said: "Because this is the Jie Jian Rock." ”
Wudang Mountain, Jiejian Rock.
People in the rivers and lakes admire Zhang Sanfeng as a generation of grandmasters, and his martial arts are impeccable, so they will unload their weapons here and hand them over to the disciples of Shanmen.
People who walk in the rivers and lakes, even if they haven't seen it with their own eyes, have at least heard of it.
The Wudang faction stands in the Tianzhu Peak of Wudang Mountain, and the Tianzhu Peak is the highest peak of Wudang Mountain, the top of three sides, only a narrow road can go directly to the Wudang Gate on the Tianzhu Peak, and in the middle of this path, there is a huge rock standing on the side of the road, and the Wudang Mountain Gate is also here.
There are many hollows on the rock, and there are also a lot of blades, and those are the weapons left by the Wudang disciples who do not listen to the words of the mountain gate and force them to bring their weapons up the mountain.
This custom has developed so far, if someone does not dissolve the sword here, one is to offend Zhang Zhenren, and the other is to offend the Wudang faction.
However, despite this, after a while when people go up the mountain, there will naturally be a disciple in the mountain who will return the weapon.
After listening to the explanation of the Seven Killings, Jiang Xiyi nodded and said to the two Wudang disciples: "Their thirteen swords, handed over to you, naturally you can, but my sword, I am afraid that you will not be able to hold it." ”
Jiang Xiyi said very sincerely, and there was no intention of showing off provocation, and after the two Wudang disciples glanced at each other, they found that the other party could not understand the meaning of this woman's words.
Yiwudang's disciple said to Jiang Xiyi: "May I ask the woman, why can't we hold your sword?" ”
Jiang Xiyi said: "Because only I can hold my sword." ”
This sentence should have been domineering, but she said it as plain as water, and people didn't know how to deal with it for a while.
Another Wudang disciple said: "Please also ask the heroine to take out the sword, we naturally know that we can't hold it." ”
After Jiang Xiyi nodded, she pulled out the soft sword from her waist that she had never left her body.
The wind blew, and the two Wudang disciples shook their bodies, and they were all invaded by the cold air.
Look at the sword again.
What kind of sword is this?
Unsheathed, the sword is sharp, the sword body is light and thin, bright as the sun and the moon, cold as ice and snow, white jade swallows, and silver hilts.
There is a piece of silk thread wrapped around the hilt of the sword, in order to hold the sword more forcefully, and if the palm of the hand is sweaty, it will not slip, which is the method of the people who make the sword on the rivers and lakes.
The shape is special, not like the sword used now, and the pattern carved on the white jade sword is really invisible, as if it has been smoothed.
When anyone sees this sword, they will think that this sword must be a famous sword, and it is also a sword full of past and stories.
The two Wudang disciples were far from touching the sword, but they all felt that the Sen Han sword qi was wrapped in a murderous aura, and rushed straight towards them.
This qi had already entered the skin of the two of them, swimming in their blood, and they even felt that their own blood was frozen.
Suddenly, a man raised his hand, ready to take the sword, and his hand slowly approached the sword, slower and slower, slower and slower.
Then, more than ten inches away from the sword, he stopped.
There was no way for him to get any closer, for he felt that if his hand came any closer to the sword, he would die.
This is indeed a sword that they can't hold.
The two Wudang disciples were pale, their palms were cold, and they were even faintly shivering.
Jiang Xiyi finally put the sword back and put it into the sheath.
The two Wudang disciples breathed a sigh of relief, their faces gradually improved, and said, "We really can't hold this sword, but does the woman have a scabbard to control this sword?" ”
Jiang Xiyi said: "Yes." ”
The Wudang disciple said, "I don't know where the scabbard is?" ”
Jiang Xiyi said: "I am the sword, and I am also the scabbard!" ”
The original scabbard of this sword has long been unable to stand the sword qi and burst open, turning into a waste, Jiang Xiyi means that she is the only one in this world who can use this sword well, and only she can control this sword.
The faces of the two Wudang disciples changed, but they were helpless, and one of them said: "In this case, please follow me up the mountain and explain the difficulties to all the uncles and masters." ”
Tianshu clenched his fists and said, "Thank you for your understanding." ”
Today, Wudang Mountain Tianzhu Peak Zixiao Palace is full of joy, just because today is the birthday of the head Zhang Sanfeng.
The birthday feast in the hall had already been placed, but no one moved the chopsticks, and everyone in the hall was ready to disperse when they saw this.
The Wudang disciple who led them up the mountain said, "Please wait again, I'll go and report it." ”
After Jiang Xiyi swept the people in the hall, he said loudly: "This little brother doesn't have to report, I didn't come to find the Wudang Sect on this trip, but to find the head of Emei to exterminate the master, please take a step to speak." ”
Her words resounded throughout the Tianzhu Peak, and the pines and cypresses outside Zixiao Palace trembled, and the people in the hall of Zixiao Palace whispered, all guessing the identities of Jiang Xiyi and his party.
A nun dressed in a gray cloth robe slowly stepped forward and said, "I don't know what you are looking for me?" ”
Jiang Xiyi carefully looked at the nun who came out, and saw that she was about thirty years old, and her appearance was originally beautiful, but there was a fly in the ointment, but her two eyebrows drooped obliquely, facing weird, which made people feel uncomfortable when they looked at her.
Jiang Xiyi asked, "Are you the exterminator?" ”
The exterminator replied: "I am the head of Emei. ”
Jiang Xiyi said: "Since you are willing to come out, it's good." ”
Exterminator Taidao: "You haven't said yet, you came to Wudang to look for me, what is the matter?" ”
Jiang Xiyi looked at the backpack she was carrying behind the extinction, and the faint sword qi diffused from it, Jiang Xiyi concluded that there must be a sword behind her, and it was an ancient lonely sword that had been stained with the blood of many people, but it was rarely seen.
Jiang Xiyi looked at the backpack intently, and said slowly: "I'm not looking for you, but looking for a sword to take away." ”
The exterminator's face tightened, and he said sharply: "What sword?" ”
Jiang Xiyi said word by word: "Heavenly Sword." ”
As soon as the three words of the Heavenly Sword came out, the four were in an uproar.
"Martial arts supreme, sword slaying dragon. Command the world, don't dare to disobey. Leaning on the sky, who competes. "Who doesn't know these six sentences in the rivers and lakes, who doesn't know, the dragon slayer knife has become the object of competition among martial arts people, but no one fights for the Heavenly Sword, this is not that there is no Heavenly Sword in everyone's eyes. There are two reasons for this, one is that the whereabouts of Yitian Sword are rarely known, and even Wudang, who is friendly with the Emei faction, almost only Zhang Sanfeng knows that Yitian Sword is in Emei; Second, even if you know that the person who is in Emei has the heart to grab the sword, I am afraid that it is powerless, Emei is famous in the rivers and lakes, and the extermination martial arts are exquisite and there are few opponents, rather than sending the sword to death, it is naturally better to try luck to grab the sword.
And today, there is a person who is blatantly in front of everyone, saying that he wants to take away the Heavenly Sword.
After the exterminator looked Jiang Xiyi up and down, he let out a sneer and said, "I can't do it myself." ”
Jiang Xiyi said: "It's not that I don't have enough power, but it's more than enough, if the master dares, take the sword and compete with me in the courtyard, whether it's life or death, if you don't dare, we'll go back to Emei to compete." ”
At this time, the exterminator's drooping eyebrows rose upside down, and he was already furious, and said, "Why don't I dare, I will spare your life under the sword!" ”
