The wolf cub walked for ten days and ten nights, and he didn't know where he went, only to see a mountain range stretching across the distant horizon. Along the way, he caught some small birds and small animals such as snakes, rats, and frogs to satisfy his hunger, and his physical strength was relatively good.

In the evening, at last they came to the foot of this mountain range, and seeing that the sun was about to set, the wolf cub quickened his pace and walked into this majestic and tall mountain.

When the moon rose, the wolf cub felt a little exhausted. He saw a cave in the rock wall in front of him, and he climbed up the cave, which was not very spacious, but it was more than enough for one person.

The wolf cub picked up some branches, lit a bonfire in the cave, took some dried meat and ate it, and after drinking some water, he curled up on the rocks next to the fire and snoozed.

After some time, the half-asleep wolf cub was suddenly awakened by a low roar, and he became alert, grabbed his whistle stick, and watched closely at the hazy moonlit mountain jungle. I saw that a gust of wind was blowing in the jungle, and a leopard rushed out like lightning and pounced on the wolf cub.

The wolf cub was shocked by this sudden scene and broke out in a cold sweat, and hurriedly dodged to the side, avoiding the attack of the leopard, but his arm was still scratched by the leopard's claws as sharp as a knife, and two bloody cuts were visible.

The wolf cub endured the severe pain, picked up the whistle stick and threw it at the leopard. The leopard was very nimble, jumped to the right and jumped more than two meters high. The wolf cub's whistle stick was empty, and it slammed into the hard rocky mountain, only to hear a click, and the whistle stick split in two and broke in two.

The leopard avoided the wolf cub's whistle stick, retreated with force, squatted on the rock, and suddenly jumped up and took the wolf cub directly.

The panicked wolf cub held a half-cut whistle stick in his hand, and behind him was a rock wall, and there was no way to retreat, and he didn't know what to do. Seeing that the leopard was about to pounce on him, the wolf cub instinctively used the whistle stick in his hand to resist the leopard's claws.

The leopard was infinitely powerful, attacking the wolf cub with its teeth and claws. Just when the wolf cub was about to be unable to resist, only to hear a "whoosh", a sharp arrow flew out of thin air and hit the leopard's throat. The leopard softened like a deflated ball, struggled on the ground a few times, and then stopped moving.

The frightened wolf cub glanced at the leopard on the ground with trepidation, and then looked around. Out of the bushes came a hunter dressed in animal skin. The hunter looked at the unkempt young man in front of him in astonishment. He asked, "Who are you who dare to enter this great black mountain alone?" ”

The wolf cub gestured and did not speak. The hunter understood, and the young man in front of him turned out to be mute.

The wolf cub took a piece of charcoal and wrote the words "Xuanqi Mountain" on the rock wall.

The hunter finally understood that the young man in front of him was going to Xuanqi Mountain. He said to him: "This is not Xuanqi Mountain, this is the Great Black Mountain, and Xuanqi Mountain is still more than a hundred miles away from here." ”

The hunter said to the wolf cub as he took out a short knife, skillfully skinned the leopard, and cut some of the flesh from the leopard's thigh to roast on the firewood.

The wolf cubs also gathered around and sat by the fire, looking curiously as hunters. The hunter continued: "Young man, let's spend the night here today, and when tomorrow dawns, I will take you out of this vast black mountain." The wolf cub nodded.

When the meat was cooked, the hunter took a piece with a knife and gave it to the wolf cub and kept a piece for himself. After eating leopard meat, the two curled up and rested around the campfire.

The morning sun shines through the cracks in the jungle into the caves, and the birds chirp and sing. The wolf cub woke up and stretched, only to see that the hunter was already packing up. The fire was about to be extinguished, and there was a wisp of green smoke left in the ash heap, and the wolf cub went to find some firewood, picked up the ash heap, looked for a trace of spark, blew a few breaths, and re-energized the fire.

After roasting some leopard meat and eating it, they packed up and the wolf cubs followed the hunter and walked deeper into the mountains.

Near noon, I finally walked out of the Great Black Mountain. The hunter pointed to an ethereal mountain peak in the distance and said, "Young man, that is the Xuanqi Immortal Mountain, this road leads to the Immortal Mountain, we will say goodbye here, and there will be a period later!" ”。

The wolf cub made a gesture to the hunter, said goodbye to the hunter, and walked alone to the fairy mountain. The target was ahead, and the wolf cub quickened his pace, eager to rush to Xuanqi Mountain immediately. I don't know where the power came from, he actually came to the foot of Xuanqi Mountain before dark. I saw a relatively spacious stone staircase winding up, and the tall and majestic mountain peak reached into the sky. Against the backdrop of the sunset, the mountains and forests are dyed, and the cliffs of Qingdai appear to be both warm and harmonious and majestic. The strange peaks between the clouds and the houses and pavilions between the ridges are scattered, looming, like a fairyland, the cranes that return late fly from the sky, and from time to time send out one or two melodious long songs.

Sure enough, it is where the fairy mountain is, and it is naturally a mysterious and beautiful scene.

The wolf cub looked at the majestic "Xuanqi Mountain" on the mountain gate, and was just about to raise his feet to climb the mountain, when he suddenly heard a clear shout: "The mountain gate is closed, if you want to go up the mountain, please come again tomorrow!" ”

The wolf cub followed the prestige, and saw a fairy wind and bone boy standing on the stone steps not far from the mountain gate with a sword on his back. The evening breeze was light, the boy's clothes were fluttering, and his immature eyebrows were full of confidence and seriousness, obviously, his words could not be understood, if he wanted to go up the mountain at this time, there was no room for negotiation.

The wolf cub was very anxious, but he couldn't speak, and he gestured to express that he was here to learn from his teacher.

Anyone who comes here either seeks medical advice or apprenticeship, in this remote frontier land, although the scenery is beautiful and the climate is pleasant, but no one will come here to enjoy the scenery. So the boy looked at the wolf cub's gestures, and of course understood that he had come to learn from the teacher, but no matter how the wolf cub kowtowed, the boy was still unmoved. He raised his head and said arrogantly: "Oh, it turns out that he is still a mute, although we do not discriminate against the disabled, but we will not make other conveniences, we Xuanjiamen treat everyone equally, please go back, come back tomorrow!" ”

The wolf cub was very anxious, and in a hurry, he took out the obsidian and pointed to the obsidian, "Ah, ah, ah" to express something.

The boy did not seem to understand, and said, "Go back, go back, and come back tomorrow!" With that, he slammed the mountain gate shut.

The wolf cub had no choice but to curl up on the stone steps by the door to rest, and because he was in too much hurry during the day, the sleepy wolf cub quickly fell asleep.

The Dao boy who was guarding the door returned to Lingxuguan and met Senior Sister Ling Ruoxue.

The senior sister looks as cold as ice, but her cold eyes can't hide her natural beauty and the kind of cold beauty that flows from her bones.

Senior Sister asked expressionlessly, "Little Senior Brother, has anyone come to visit my Xuanqi Sect today?" ”

In the face of this serious senior sister, Dao Tong looked a little nervous, and could no longer see the arrogance and confidence when facing the visitors when guarding the door, and said timidly: "There is no one during the day, but there is a dumb person when it is time to close the mountain gate!" ”

"Oh! Is it? A dumb one? Senior Sister said thoughtfully.

Dao Tong replied, "Yes! A dumb man who looks unkempt. ”

"Okay, I know, there's nothing to do with you, go down and rest."

Liu Xuanqingdao, the head master of the Xuanqi Sect, has been wandering outside for many years, and the affairs in the door are basically handed over to the senior brother Shangguan Wuwu and the senior sister Ling Ruoxue to take care of. Because the senior brother Shangguan Wuwu is naturally easy-going, he looks like he has no quarrel with the world, he has a soft spot for poetry and songs, dances and writes all day long, rarely asks about the affairs of the door, and is also very generous to the younger brothers and sisters, the younger brothers and sisters have never seen him lose his temper, nor have they seen him practice martial arts, according to legend, his martial arts are unique in the world, but this is just a groundless legend, because people have always believed that seeing is believing.

And although the senior sister Ling Ruoxue is as glamorous as a peach and plum, her beauty is enough to suffocate, but it is as cold as frost, and her coldness is also enough to suffocate people, in addition, because of the senior brother's "not doing business", the affairs of the master naturally fall on her shoulders, and she must take care of everything in every detail, not only to teach the martial arts of the younger brothers and sisters but also to arrange the life of the sect, etc., it is simply a master and a mother, and over time, the younger brothers and sisters have formed a habit that as long as the master is not at home, everything will be reported directly to the senior sister.

Although the senior brother is also the housekeeper appointed by the master, he also ends up relaxed, and often steals half a day of leisure, in addition to participating in the teacher's morning class, he ponders his piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry and songs all day long.

Before Master Liu Xuanqing traveled this time, he had instructed the senior brother and senior sister that in the near future, there would be a young man with extraordinary spirit and great appearance to come to the master to learn art. The master also knew the selfless nature of the senior brother Shangguan, and was afraid that he would forget something, so he also specially told the senior sister Ling Ruoxue to pay special attention to this person. Therefore, she has to ask the disciples on duty every day recently if anyone has come. But when she heard that it was an unkempt mute who came today, it was naturally difficult for her to associate it with the extraordinary and wonderful spirit, so she didn't care.

"When you sing about wine, life is geometric, such as morning dew, there are many hardships in the past, you should be generous, and you should be unforgettable, how to solve your worries? Only Du Kang. ”

When the first rays of sunlight in the morning shine on the majestic Xuanyu Mountain, a layer of dreamlike mist tulle lingers between the peaks that go straight into the sky, a jade ribbon-like waterfall pours down from the Jade Maiden Peak, the splashing water mist forms a seven-colored rainbow in the sky above the forest, the murmuring spring water is crystal clear, the fish happily chase and play in the stream, the big fly and shuttle in the forest, and make a chirping sound from time to time. Senior brother Shangguan Wuwu walked on the stone steps between the mountains and forests with a folding fan in his hand, chanting poems and sipping wine in the gourd.

"Senior brother is so leisurely!" A young Taoist girl looked at the senior brother with a smile, her fairy clothes were fluttering, fresh and refined, a pair of delicate small bells on her belt made a crisp and pleasant sound from time to time, she held a long sword, and the heroic spirit that flowed from between her eyebrows had a kind of confidence that did not let her eyebrows go.

Senior Brother Shangguan Wuwu glanced at this young Dao Aunt, and said with a slight smile on the corner of his mouth: "Oh, it turned out to be Senior Sister Ling'er, and she is going down the mountain so early today?" ”

Ling'er smiled and said in her words: "Senior sister is afraid of delaying the master's entrustment, and she is always not at ease, for fear that the junior brothers and sisters on duty will be greedy for fun and miss a big event, so she specially asked me to come to the mountain gate to check if there are young people who have been specially explained by the master and his old man to come to learn the arts." Senior sister is exhausted for the affairs of the master, and she has to worry about some people, how can she be as leisurely as the senior brother! ”

The senior brother was slightly stunned in his heart, shook his head helplessly, and said, "Ling'er, your mouth is very mean!" ”

"How dare Ling'er?" Ling'er said verbally, but there was obviously a sense of grievance for others.

The senior brother didn't care too much about the attitude of his senior sister Ling'er, and sang to himself while drinking: "Since ancient times, the sages have been lonely, and only the drinker has his name!" ”

Ling'er hurried down the mountain, and said to herself angrily: "I don't know what is so good about this senior brother, he doesn't do his job all day long, he is crazy, the senior sister protects him, even the master and his old man take him as a treasure, I really can't understand it!" ”

Ling'er came to the mountain gate, it was already the hour, the Taoist boy on duty saw her coming down the mountain, stepped forward and bowed a salute, and greeted: "Senior Sister Ling'er is early!" ”

Ling'er nodded to Dao Tong and asked, "Is there anyone who has come to join the sect today?" ”

Dao Tong replied: "No one has come today, but a little mute came last night, because the junior brother of the previous class did not let him go up the mountain, he fell asleep outside the mountain gate, I saw that he slept soundly, did not wake him up, oh! Isn't it still there! After speaking, Dao Tong pointed to the stone steps next to the mountain gate.

Ling'er looked in the direction pointed by Daotong, and sure enough, she saw a ragged and unkempt young man curling up on the edge of the steps outside the mountain gate, sleeping soundly. She walked over, Dao Tong following closely behind her.

"Wake up! Wake up! Ay! Wake up," Ling'er reached out and shook the boy who was sleeping on the ground.

But the boy remained motionless. Dao Tong cried out, "He can't be dead, right?" ”

Ling'er stepped forward and touched the young man's snort and said, "There is still gas, but the breath is like a gossamer!" She reached out and touched the young man's head, and said with a solemn expression, "It's so hot!" ”

Then he said to the Taoist boy, "Quick! Help him up! Carry it up the mountain! Yan Ba and Dao Tong carried the boy up the mountain.

The two of them panted and carried the young man to the Lingxuan Temple, and the two Dao boys who were cleaning hurriedly ran over to help. Several other junior siblings also ran over, and while wiping the beads of sweat from her forehead, Ling'er instructed her juniors to carry the young man into the couch in the house, and at the same time asked a junior sister to report to the senior sister.

The little junior sister ran to the senior sister's Tianxin Pavilion in a panic, and said breathlessly: "Big, senior sister, it's not good!" Teacher Ling'er, Senior Sister, she, they brought a person, it's almost dying, please go, look, look! ”

The senior sister was meditating, she glanced at the little sister who ran in, and blamed her, saying, "What kind of system is it that is panicked?" How did Master teach us? We must keep the right and keep the center, be calm, and not be chaotic in the face of danger! ”

The little junior sister said timidly: "Got it, senior sister! ”

Looking at the trembling appearance of the little junior sister, the senior sister Ling Ruoxue said coldly, "Take me to have a look!" ”

The little junior sister hurriedly led the way in front. They soon came to the house where the boy was. The younger siblings hurriedly moved out of the way to both sides.

The elder sister sat down on the edge of the bed, brushed the long sleeve of her right hand with her left hand, and put her right hand on the pulse of the young man. After a while, she said to her younger siblings, "It's okay, I can't die!" One by one panicked, what kind of system has it become? ”

She checked the other vein of the boy again, and suddenly, her gaze fell on the obsidian pendant on the boy's chest, and her face looked a little surprised. She asked the Dao Tong on duty yesterday, "Senior Brother Xuanfeng, is this the little mute you talked about last night?" ”

The Dao boy named Xuan Feng replied, "It's him, Senior Sister!" ”

The senior sister secretly thought, "It can't be him!" Could this be the young man that Master is talking about? That's a far cry, isn't it? ”

At the beginning, Ling Ruoxue once asked his master what characteristics or tokens he had of the extraordinary and incomparably magnificent young man. Master thought for a moment and said, "This person has a special heart-shaped obsidian. "Other than that, there is no information.

Looking at the ragged, unkempt and smelly young man in front of him, it was difficult for Ling Ruoxue to connect him with the person Master was talking about. However, Xuanjiamen has always taken it as its responsibility to save the dead and help the wounded, and to teach and teach, whether this person is the person the master is looking for or not, it is important to save people now.

Senior Sister Ling Ruoxue said to Ling'er, "Senior Sister Ling'er, go to the cabinet in my room and bring the Soul Fixing Pill. ”

Ling'er quickly ran to Tianxin Pavilion and took the Senior Sister's Soul Fixing Pill. The senior sister immediately fed the Soul Fixing Pill to the young man.

The senior sister patted her sleeve and said, "This little mute was overworked and malnourished, and was attacked by the cold air in the mountains at night, and he got damp fever and was burned unconscious. He will wake up in half an hour after eating my Soul Fixing Pill. Senior Sister Ling'er and Senior Brother Xuanfeng are watching here, after he wakes up, boil some porridge for him to eat, and the others will go to morning class with me! ”

All the junior brothers and sisters said in unison: "Yes! Big sister! ”

Half an hour later, the young man really woke up, Ling'er fed him some porridge, the young man had tears in his eyes, and after eating a bowl full of porridge, he looked much better.

Ling'er asked the boy what his name was, and the boy shook his head. Daotong Xuanfeng said: "Senior Sister Ling'er, I told you that he is a mute, and you still have to ask him!" ”

Ling'er said, "Oh! I forgot. Then he said to the young man, "Since you have come to our sect to learn art, you must have a name, right?" From now on, I will call you dumb brother. ”

Ling'er said to Senior Brother Xuanfeng again: "Xuanfeng, the dumb man is stinky, and now his body is still very weak, you go and get some water to wipe his body for him." ”

Dao Tong said reluctantly: "Call me again!" ”

Ling'er feigned anger and said, "What? You dare not listen to Senior Sister Ben's words? ”

In fact, Dao Tong is just talking, he has already started to fetch pots when he said these words, but he still muttered: "One day to support me!" ”

While wiping the dumb man's body, Xuan Feng said to him: "Dumb, you will call me senior brother in the future, hey! In the future, I finally have someone to support, but I didn't expect that my Xuanfeng Dao has been coming to Xuanqi Mountain for more than a year, and there will be a day when I will become a senior brother. ”

The dumb man looked at the Taoist boy who was wiping his body, but he was only twelve or thirteen years old, but he was also very angry. He was naturally moved in his heart, except for grandma and Alina, Xuan Feng was the first person who cared about him so much, and he couldn't stop nodding.

Dao Tong Xuanfeng continued: "Senior Sister Ling'er is very fierce, you can't provoke her, otherwise there will be good fruits that you can't eat!" ”

Xuanfeng is right, it is rare for the master to come back in the entire division, and every time he comes back, he only stays for a few days, and the senior brother dances and writes all day long, so the affairs of the master must be handled by the senior sister Ling Ruoxue, and the three mountains and eight views of the entire Xuanfeng Gate add up to one or two hundred disciples, and the senior sister cannot do everything even if she has three heads and six arms, so Ling'er has become her right-hand man. In the face of such a big family, if Ling'er is not spicy, there are so many juniors and sisters there?

Here I would like to introduce the three peaks and eight views of Xuanqi Mountain. The three peaks are Tianzhu Peak, Wanghui Peak and Jade Girl Peak.

Tianzhu Peak is the place where Xuanqi's disciples practice swords and martial arts, so the peak is steep and straight, straight into the sky, like a pillar of optimus, Gu got its name. Regarding Tianzhu Peak, Xuanjiamen has such a slip:

"Tianzhu Peak, ten thousand feet high, straight into the sky, straight to the sky; The sword of Xuanqi soars to the heavens, and the spirit of Xuanqi is long. ”

Wanghui Peak is the place where the two lessons of Xuanqi disciples have been allocated, as for the origin of the name of this peak, it is not known, and there will be no disciple who will be bored to study why Wanghui Peak is called. But every morning, the sound of books here, I don't know that I thought I came to the school. The disciples of Xuanqi Sect have always been both civil and military, and naturally the credit of Wanghuifeng's morning class is indispensable.

As for the Jade Girl Peak, it is because this mountain looks from a distance, and I really want a girl who looks far away, and what is even more peculiar is that there is a cave on the mountain that looks almost exactly the same as the daughter's house, called the Elephant Invisible Cave, also known as the Xuanqi Cave. However, the elephant invisible cave is the forbidden place of the Xuanqi Gate, and the only way to this peak is guarded by the disciples of the Xuanjia Gate, and no Xuanqi disciple is allowed to enter this place, let alone outsiders. And I heard that there is a layer of enchantment blockade at the door of the elephant invisible cave, and ordinary people can't enter it at all, even if they pass the enchantment, there is also a nine-palace gossip array in the cave, and this array is laid by the ancestor of Xuanqi Gate, Taishang Wuji Laojun. No one has ever seen the power of this array, and I heard that anyone who has seen this array is no longer in the world today. The disciples can't go, and it is unknown whether the master has gone or not.

The eight views are Tianqing View, Dining View, Immortal and Harmony View, Zhengyu View, Eternal Life View, Gu Ying View, Lingxu View, and Wuji View. Tianqingguan is the master's living place of Qing Xiu, which is quite quiet and majestic; Immortal and Guan is a place to worship the remains of the heads of the sect and the immortal position, and it is also a place for the disciples of the ancestors and uncles of the past dynasties; Dining Temple is a place to receive protocols and usher in send-offs, which is particularly solemn and magnificent; Lingxuan is the living place of female disciples, but it is very elegant; The concept of longevity is a place to seek medical advice and alchemy medicine, and it is surrounded by clouds and fog all year round, and it is full of electric light. Jeongwoo is the place where you can get your ordination. As for the other contemplations, because there are so many male disciples, they are scattered in each contemplation. Each view has pavilions of different sizes and specifications.
