Chapter 8: Falling Star Mountain
O shining stars through the ages, leading the way forward for every spirit people, you are the children of the moon god's knees, and it is her spirit that prays to her on behalf of all the peoples. Twilight, you mortal walkers, our supreme princess, have been martyred for us when the earth was plunged into darkness and the tribe was in danger, seeking the last refuge for us. When the moon god is gone, the stars are dimmed, and the world will cease to exist......
This is a ballad sung by everyone in the spirit clan, the princess of the twilight star in the ballad, Yuluo, was buried on the Falling Star Mountain, not long after the spirit tribe returned to the mountain, the twilight princess Yuluo died of an injury, and the Falling Star Mountain was named for this, and therefore became a holy place in the hearts of all the tribes of the Spirit Clan. The royal family of the spirit clan is the feather clan, the inheritance of the feather clan is respected by women, and the princesses who have the right to inherit will be given the title of the main star in the night sky, such as the star of enlightenment, the star of the stars, the burning stars, the stars of Yingxing, the ...... of Luanxing, and the cycle repeats, but the title of the twilight star is no longer used at the end of the jade fall, so the princess of the jade fall has the title of the eternal twilight star.
Jiang Bai escorted the women in distress to the territory of the wolf clan, and happened to pass through the Falling Star Mountain at this time. There is Zhu You, Zai Xin, of course, Wei Feng has decided to live with Yuheng's family, this time there was no need to go to the wolf department, but for the reason that Zhu Shi wanted to teach him with him, he came with him, and there was a small episode, Yun Niang didn't know what to say to Yuheng before leaving, and finally decided to stay at Yuheng's place, because he didn't travel with everyone.
The Falling Star Mountain towers into the clouds, and when you look at it as far as the eye can see, you can see the snow at the top of the mountain that does not melt all year round. There is a large lake at the foot of the mountain, the surface of the lake is like a huge mirror, and the whole Falling Star Mountain is reflected on it, and there are dense tall cedar trees growing around the lake, and the undulating terrain has been stretching into the endless distance, the whole scenery is magnificent and breathtaking, but it is also so quiet that it makes people feel abnormal, and there is not even a single bird flying above the lake.
One of the women, so impressed by the beautiful scenery before him, broke away from the group and walked alone towards the lake.
"Don't go over!" Jae Xin said urgently.
The woman finally woke up when she heard Zai Xin's shout, glanced at Zai Xin with some embarrassment, and walked back silently.
"It's for your own good not to let you pass, for thousands of years, that lake has swallowed up many people's lives, because of the blockage of this lake, every year our Spirit Clan has to go around the mountain behind the holy mountain to worship the holy mountain, I don't know how much effort it takes." Zaisin explained.
"I just thought it was so beautiful, and before I knew it, I walked past, and I didn't expect it to be so dangerous." The woman said with a smile.
"No wonder you, after all, when we first came here, the people we often pass by here don't dare to take a second look at that lake." Zaisin Road.
Zaisin's words inevitably aroused the curiosity of the women, and they looked at Zaisin with inquiring eyes.
"Master Zhu, you can tell them." Zai Xin gave Zhu You the task of commentary, he thought that he was not very good at telling stories, but fortunately, Zhu Shi in the crowd was good at it.
"There is a candle dragon in the lake!" Zhu Yu said distinctly.
The women gasped, it was a legendary creature, but the legend said that the candle dragon should have been extinct a long time ago, so how could it be here again.
"Actually, the candle dragon entrenched in this lake is related to a historical hero of your human beings in the outside world, his name is Qi Lingfeng, do any of you know?" Best wishes.
"I've heard of some, Qi Zu is a man from heaven and earth, helping human beings to conquer the world and then returning to the sky, King Wu was still looking for him when he was divided, I heard that the current boundary of Yin State was originally to be sealed to Qi Zu." A woman who was originally Yun Niang's maid said that when it came to the war between humans and spirits, her voice was a little weak, but it was not so bad that people couldn't hear it.
"Hehe, Qi Lingfeng is not a celestial being." Zhu You said with a smile, "He was originally a guard under Princess Dusk, and he has excellent talents, and he has good luck." ”
"This candle dragon is his relic, he hasn't returned to any heaven, the remains should be in this lake." Zhu You continued, and the women had a look of disbelief on their faces.
"Back then, he crossed the candle dragon and held mountains and rivers, which was indeed a peerless demeanor, but he violated his promise to Princess Dusk and openly rebelled against her, and after Princess Twilight died and returned to heaven, he finally ended up depressed." Best wishes.
"As for why he died here, I'll tell you a little bit more about it." Zhu You sighed and continued, "Princess Dusk Star was buried in this mountain after her death, Qi Lingfeng came to guard her mausoleum after the human race settled the world, and never left until he died, his mount, that is, the candle dragon, should have inherited Qi Lingfeng's will, but it was not Princess Dusk Star that it guarded, but Qi Lingfeng himself, so people were not allowed to set foot in that lake. Zhu You said slowly.
After listening to this story, everyone was a little depressed.
"Qi Lingfeng is dead when he dies, it doesn't matter. The candle dragon has a much longer lifespan than a human, but it has become a pest here, and sooner or later it will definitely be removed! Zaisin suddenly said hatefully when everyone was silent.
"I've met that thing, and I think I can't beat it, where do you get your faith?" Jiang Bai saw that his disciple was ruthless, and he didn't like it in his heart, so he opened his mouth to teach a lesson, and there was a tendency to get out of control.
"Teacher, teacher, what are the mountains and rivers, mountains and rivers, how tall is Qi Lingfeng, can he hold them in his hands?" Wei Feng had been very quiet, watching Jiang Bai want to teach Zai Xin a lesson, but he was in a hurry, and suddenly interrupted and asked Zhu You.
"Mountains and rivers are not mountains and rivers, it is an ancient sword, a miracle soldier, it is said that those who can get the mountains and rivers sword have the power to recreate mountains and rivers." I wish you to caress the beard, others are old and fine, how can they not know Wei Feng's intentions, and they can't help but feel funny but a little comfortable in their hearts.
"Is the mountain and river sword in the lake? Doesn't anyone want it? Wei Feng asked again.
"Why is there no one, at first, the royal court would choose the brave warriors of the tribe to come here every year, and the special trip was for the mountain and river sword, but the result was that none of those tribal warriors could come back alive, and slowly they could only let it go there." Best wishes.
After Zhu You finished telling the story, everyone went on the road again, and those who heard the story for the first time were speculating about what Qi Lingfeng and Princess Yuluo were like back then, and the twists and turns were really incredible.
The crowd walked slowly through the forest road, the sun spilled down through the spruce gaps, and the shadows shone on the surface of the ground, because of the inaccessibility, many parts of the road were no different from the rest of the woodland, they were covered with grass and branches mixed with the decay of the soil, and the footsteps of people were particularly soft and did not make any sound, and it was difficult to discern the direction without a familiar person to lead the way.
Suddenly there was a huge dragon roar from the direction of Falling Star Mountain, and several women were so frightened that they sat on the ground, they listened to Zhu You's narration, and knew what the sound was, and everyone looked back, but fortunately, there was nothing abnormal.
"It never leaves the lake, don't be afraid." Best wishes.
"Brute!" Jae Sin spat angrily on the ground and cursed. Wei Feng behind him gently patted him on the shoulder, as if to make him dissipate. The road is far away, Wei Feng is too young to travel far away, and when he can't walk, Zai Xin carries him on his back, and he is on Zai Xin's back at the moment.
"Be careful that Uncle Jiang scolds you." Wei Feng whispered softly to Zai Xin. Zai Xin couldn't help but laugh, and helped Wei Feng to continue his journey.
The others didn't say anything, and the woman who had fallen to the ground also got up in a hurry, and hurried to the road without caring about the dirt on her body, apparently thinking that the sooner she left the place, the better.
That night, everyone found a relatively open place in the forest to rest.
Zhu You and the other women had already slept peacefully, Jiang Bai was alone on the side with his eyes closed, but the heaven and earth were not silent, and with the crackling bonfire, Wei Feng and Zai Xin were talking about something softly.
"Brother Zai, don't you want to cultivate like Uncle Jiang?" Wei Feng whispered.
"Brother Zai is stupid, he can't practice that." Zaisin Road.
"But I've always seen you practicing, on that boulder near my home." Wei Feng said.
"Yes, I did practice for a long time, but I didn't make any progress at all, so I had to stop practicing." Zaisin Road.
"Big brother, don't be discouraged, there is always a way." Wei Feng said, pulling Zai Xin's sleeve to show comfort.
"It's okay, Master has found another way for me, I think that should be more feasible, but you, but you have to follow Master Zhu to study hard, Master Zhu has great ability, and if you learn well, you will be able to use it for life." Zai Xin looked at Wei Feng with a smile and said.
"Well, I have studied hard, after I learn well, I will be a langzhong, I will see others for diseases, I have thought about it, I will not give people money to see patients, what herbs need to be used, I will go to the mountains to collect." Wei Feng said, saying that his eyes looked at the deep night sky, and his eyes also crooked and smiled, reflecting the crooked moon in the night sky, looking forward to the future life.
He was already born very well and lovable, and at this time he told such a good wish, and he had such a demeanor, Zai Xin was not aware of being infected by him, and looked up at the night sky, and couldn't help but be full of warmth for this world for a while. It is true that this world is not beautiful, but it also means that there is a lot of possibility for the better, and everyone can look up at the night sky like this pair of children and teenagers, and the land of Kyushu will become a world full of beauty.
"Xiao Feng, what do you mean by transcendence, forgetting everything?" Zaisin said suddenly. But after he finished speaking, he was a little funny, and he was also confused, what he couldn't understand in three years, how to embarrass a child.
"I think it's what I see, what I hear, so I pretend I didn't see it." Unexpectedly, Wei Feng actually gave an answer, which really surprised Zai Xin.
"Then since you have seen and heard, how can you pretend that you can't see or hear, those that have left an image in your mind, the more you force you not to know, I'm afraid you can only make it more profound." This is a doubt that Zai Xin has been unable to solve for a long time, and now Wei Feng has given some answers, although it is full of childishness, Zai Xin still can't help but discuss it with him.
"Yes, I've heard Aunt Kaoru say that if there are things that you think you can't live anymore when you think about it, you can pretend that they never happened, and she said that I am like this, and I can't remember anything about what happened before I met her, and I can't even forget my name." Wei Feng said.
Zai Xin was speechless when he heard this, he felt sad for Wei Feng's miserable life, but he didn't know how to comfort him, he was never good at comforting people with words.
"I'm going to seal a few acupuncture points for you, and you can try to get yourself into that state." Zai Xin walked out of his sadness and also wanted to divert Wei Feng's attention, so he said to him.
"Okay, I'll give it a try." Although Wei Feng was reluctant, he didn't want to forget everything about Zai Xin, Aunt Heng, Zhu Shi, Jin'er and Qi Zhijian, but he didn't want to go against Zai Xin's wishes, Zai Xin was undoubtedly the closest person alive in this world, and he didn't want to disappoint him.
Wei Feng sat on the ground, and after Zai Xin ordered more than a dozen acupuncture points for him in a very orderly manner, Wei Feng entered the meditation ......
After a while, Jiang Bai Huoran, who was sitting on the side, opened his eyes and turned his head to look here, Zai Xin wanted to say something to his master, but Jiang Bai stretched out his hand to stop him.
The next day, the position of the sun showed that it was noon.
"Master, Xiao Feng won't have anything wrong with him, it's all my fault!" Zaisin said remorsefully.
"No, he's just settled, you don't have to blame yourself, you'll wake up when the time comes." Jiang Bai said. When Zai Xin heard what his master said, he was still a little uneasy, and looked at Wei Feng anxiously.
Zhu You also looked at Jiang Bai for an inquiring look, and Jiang Bai had to come to Zhu You and whisper to him......
"Master Zhu, I don't know what to say, this is a situation that has never happened before." Jiang Bai calmed down for a while, and then said: "I can enter the meditation when I first hear the Tao, and I can enter the meditation for so long at the beginning, this is no longer the category of genius, I think that my brother Jiang Kui and I back then, not to mention how long it took to cross the door to enter the meditation after hearing the Tao, it was the first time to enter the meditation, and it was only half an hour, and this child has not shown any signs of making a determination for so long." After saying this, Jiang Bai muttered to himself: "Is this a sign......
"Wait until he wakes up. If it's really as rare as you say, do you want to teach him kendo? "I wish you well.
"I don't want to. Or change to any other sword sect that will regard it as a treasure when it encounters this material, but I, I know too well what the so-called sword path is all about, and teaching him may be harming him! Jiang Bai said.
"Whether you teach him kendo or not, I will always teach him medical skills, this kid is diligent and studious, I like it very much." Zhu You stroked his beard and smiled.
The sun was about to set, and Wei Feng woke up slowly, but he burst into tears. Zai Xin hurriedly rushed up and hugged him in his arms, and Wei Feng immediately fell on Zai Xin's shoulder and cried bitterly. Everyone was so sad that he cried, and although they were surprised, they didn't ask him what he felt so sad in his meditation.
"It's all because the big brother is not good, the big brother won't let you do this anymore." Seeing Wei Feng crying so sadly, Zai Xin's previous remorse and grief came to his heart together, patting Wei Feng on the back and choking and comforting. Wei Feng shook his head, wiped away his tears, wiped Zai Xin's cheek with his sleeve, broke out of Zai Xin's arms and walked straight to Jiang Bai.
"Please ask Uncle Jiang to teach Wei Feng swordsmanship." Wei Feng bowed.
"Oh, if you want me to teach you swordsmanship, then let me ask you, what is a sword?" Jiang Bai said.
"The sword is a killing weapon, a bad thing!" Wei Feng said.
"If it's a bad thing, why do you practice?" Jiang Bai said.
"The sword is an ominous thing, I am also an ominous person, everywhere I pass, there is a long sea of blood, my fate is destined to be inseparable from the sword, I practice the sword, only for the good people in the world do not have to hold the sword." Wei Feng said.
Jiang Bai pondered for a long time when he heard this.
"I don't know what you've seen, but what you see isn't necessarily fate, and you must not lose your mind because of your first knowledge of heaven and earth. Heaven and earth qi can only give people a direction, people's specific experiences are unpredictable, these experiences can change a person, and even change the fate of this person, so no matter what happens, you must remember your own heart, remember why you practice the sword! In the future, you will change your name to call me Master, Zai Xin is your senior brother. Jiang Bai said.
Wei Feng bowed to Jiang Bai three times, and came to Zhu You and said to Zhu You: "Teacher, I still want to learn medical skills from you in the future, is it okay?" I want to be a Langzhong more. ”
"Of course you can, you can't learn from me if you don't want to! I've been your teacher for a long time! Zhu You said categorically. Wei Feng smiled when he heard this.
Taking advantage of the fact that the sky was still bright, everyone decided to go a little longer, after all, it had been delayed for too long.
"Why did you decide to teach again?" On the way, Zhu You quietly asked Jiang Baidao.
"How else can I say it, it's providential." Jiang Bai sighed and continued: "This kid is so resolute, even if I don't want to teach, with this kid's talent, I have already crossed that threshold by chance, and once I hold the sword, I can one day become a generation of grandmasters." I taught him that he could always be more controlled. ”
"Sure enough, it's a human cultivation method, Zai Xin's child can't do it, Wei Feng's child can do it overnight." Zhu Yu said slightly.
"Wei Feng, this child, is an outlier in the entire human race, and it can't be treated with common sense, so I don't have to mind." Jiang Bai said.
"I do feel a little sour in my heart, it is indeed not without reason that the empire of the ancestors of the Spirit Race, which has lasted for tens of thousands of years, has been disintegrated and shattered by the human race." Zhu You is quite a little sad about the past and the present.
"I don't have to think like this, I think that one day, the spirit race and the human race will be reunited, there will no longer be a division of races, and the world can also achieve real peace." Jiang Bai said.
"I hope so." Zhu Yu said word by word.
The two of them did not reply and walked forward silently.
"Xiao Feng, what did you see before? Why do you want to learn swords? Zai Xin quietly asked Wei Feng on his back.
"I saw a lot, I felt light and fluttering at the time, a lot of transparent streamers between heaven and earth, taking me everywhere, some of the things I saw in the drift were in the past, and some of them may be about to happen." Wei Feng paused here as he spoke.
"For those things that are going to happen, I have to be prepared, so I have to practice swordsmanship." Wei Feng continued.
"Is it scary to see something?" Zaisin asked.
"Hmm." Wei Feng nodded and said, "But I will try to become strong, I want to protect you." ”
"Little brat, I'm not afraid of the wind when I speak, and I flash my tongue." Zai Xin said with a smile, "Big brother, why do you need your protection, you can protect yourself, if you are in danger one day, big brother will protect you, don't worry." What the hell is fate, and what can it be! Zaisin said this with an unmistakable tone. Hearing this, Wei Feng tightened his hands around Zai Xin's neck, found a more comfortable position, and fell asleep on Zai Xin's back, he had spent too much energy before.
Everyone looked preoccupied all the way, but there were no accidents, and they traveled like this for seven or eight days, and finally reached their destination.
