Volume 1 The First Acquaintance of the Qing Dynasty Chapter 8 Under the Waterfall
Chapter 8: Under the Waterfall
Su Chen wandered around the [Qingsong Peak] aimlessly.
Su Chen looked around, and a piece of clear pine spread all over the mountain, among which the different steps up the mountain were like this piece of green lines, walking on it was like an ant walking on the veins of huge green leaves.
On the way up the mountain, when you raise your eyes, you can see that you are on the top of the misty mountain, which makes people seem to be at your fingertips, and as if you are in the ethereal clouds, and you can see yourself getting higher and higher, farther and farther away from the ground.
The contrast between the top of the mountain that seemed to be within easy reach and the distance from the ground made Su Chen's irritable heart open up a lot.
On both sides of the trail of Qingsong Peak, the pine trees are dense, as if there is a regularity, and they are interspersed around, which looks strange but natural, and this strangeness and harmony make the two in a peculiar contradiction.
Su Chen walked all the way and was amazed.
"Eh, senior brother, have you heard, there is a great wonder in [Qingsong Peak]!"
"What a spectacle?
Several voices came from not far away, Su Chen raised his eyes, but he didn't see a figure, so he pricked up his ears and listened carefully to the place where the sound came from, and groped his way over.
"Yes, before I went to class, a senior brother recommended the wonders here, that is, we sat here, between the cracks of the green pines, but it was so magical as if it was abrupt, their roots folded together, showing a viewing platform, so looking at this world, I feel that this world is too beautiful. The world is so big, I am in my home, happy and at ease, this is the [Dao] we are looking for the most!" A voice became clearer and clearer away from Su Chen.
Su Chen relied on the direction of the voice and the appearance of the location revealed by the voice, as if he was not far away, and suddenly found that outside the green pines in the mountains, he actually saw a cliff!
"Oh, if this is your Dao, that's fine!—" Another voice was soft, natural, and came from beneath the cliff.
Su Chen looked down at the probe curiously!
I actually saw a strange scene.
【Qingsong Peak】Outside the steps of the mountain, among the mountains, there are cliffs, between the green pines and the cliffs, there are two green pine roots combined together, forming a wooden platform, about the size of three or five zhang (Note 1), enough for three or five people to gather here is not too crowded.
There are two Taoist priests sitting on the platform, as if watching the beautiful scenery in the mountains, appreciating the various states of sentient beings, and talking about the Tao.
When he said "but ......", the owner of the quiet voice suddenly raised his head, but happened to meet Su Chen's eyes looking down, and they looked at each other with a slight embarrassment.
"Senior brother, what's so beautiful up there, look at it for so long......" The voice that Su Chen heard first rang out inappropriately next to him, and he also raised his head.
The eyes of the three people froze for a few breaths.
Su Chen hurriedly took out the tricks he had learned in Su Bai's world, and if he felt embarrassed, he would change the topic and talk about something else.
"Haha, the two brothers are also here?"
Damn, isn't that digressing?
Su Chen secretly scolded himself for being incoherent, and then pretended to be casual and said, "The weather is so nice today, isn't it?"
"Huh?" Su Chen's initial voice said, and he seemed to have just reacted, "Ahhhh Haha!"
What an awkward chat.
"If this junior disciple doesn't mind, you might as well come down and enjoy it together!" the disciple with a quiet voice raised his hand and invited.
Su Chen also smiled heartily: "Senior brother, then I might as well be respectful." ”
After speaking, he walked down the small steps on the edge of the cliff with obvious traces of manual operation, and slowly descended to the platform built by the roots of the two green pines.
Through conversation, Su Chen learned that these two people were also new disciples this time, but they were not on the same peak as Su Chen's Xinsheng Peak, and the disciple who was the first to be heard by Su Chen was named Yu Hua, and the disciple who spoke quietly and naturally with Su Chen's eyes later was named Wu Ci
"Senior brother, is this a good place introduced by the senior brother?" asked Wu Ci, the owner of the quiet voice, with a smile.
Su Chen smiled ashamedly: "That's not it, I just heard the voices of your senior brothers from afar, and I wanted to come over to investigate, but I didn't expect to meet you, so I had the opportunity to see the scenery of this scenic platform." ”
"Haha. Wu Ci smiled and said: "This is all fate! From the moment you hear Yu Hua's voice and choose to come to investigate, you will definitely meet us, this is fate, we know each other's fate!"
Su Chen said politely: "See me, see me!" It's my fate to know the two of you, I'm very happy!"
"There's no need for this, Senior Brother Su, no matter what, we're happy now, aren't we?" Wu Ci said with a smile, and turned his head to look at Yu Hua.
"Yes, yes!" Yu Hua smiled: "I feel very happy to know Senior Brother Su, although we are not on the same mountain, but I believe that sooner or later we will have time to get together, this is intuition!"
Su Chen, Wu Ci, and Yu Hua talked for a while, rested for a while, watched for a while, saw the unique convex platform of this heaven and earth for a while, and felt the majesty of heaven and earth, so they planned to continue upward, ready to see the peaks of [Qingsong Peak].
Su Chen, Wu Ci, and Yu Hua explained their intention to continue on the road, but they were canceled by Yu Hua's words.
"Senior Brother Su wants to go to the top of the mountain?" Yu Hua asked when he saw that Su Chen was about to leave.
"Yes, I've come here and want to see the top of the mountain!" Su Chen glanced at Yu Hua a little strangely.
"There's no need to go, the top of the [Qingsong Peak] mountain is not allowed for our outer disciples to go up, it is the place where the inner disciples practice, we can't enter!" Yu Hua sighed and stopped Su Chen and said.
After listening to this, Su Chen asked, "Have you been there?"
Yu Hua and Wu Ci smiled and nodded.
Wu Ci's quiet voice sounded, and he said with a smile: "At the beginning, Yu Hua pulled me to the top of the mountain, but I was stopped halfway, saying that it was not for the inner disciples to let me in, so the two of us came down in disgrace, and I found this place to rest for a while." ”
Yu Hua listened and nodded again and again: "That's it, don't go up the mountain!"
Su Chen smiled: "Okay, then I won't go up the mountain, I'll go to the Shangqing Sect and go around again! I can't waste the opportunity to come here in vain, right?"
Yu Hua and Wu Ci nodded, and did not force Su Chen to stay, after all, everyone has their own ambitions, and they can't force their will on others.
Yu Hua looked at Su Chen's distant figure, as if he remembered something, and shouted loudly: "Su Chen, you can go to the west, there is a big waterfall over there, and the scenery there is not bad." ”
Su Chen stood on the edge of the cliff and waved his hand at Yu Hua and Wu Ci: "Got it! I'll go and see!"
With that, he walked off into the distance.
Su Chen planned to go around, and if he could go to the so-called waterfall, he could also see it, and it didn't matter if he couldn't see it.
......
"Boom"
There was a faint roar in the air.
Su Chen listened carefully to the source of the voice, endured his already sore legs, and continued to move forward.
Su Chen had been walking on this staircase for almost an hour, and he had also met a few groups of freshman disciples, but they all nodded their heads, and the scenery was mostly the same along the way, so Su Chen planned to go to the big waterfall that Yu Hua said.
"It's already very close, why hasn't it arrived yet?" Su Chen muttered to himself.
"Hurry up, hurry up, it's right ahead!" a disciple's voice sounded behind Su Chen.
Su Chen glanced back, and a group of disciples passed over from behind him and walked forward.
Su Chen felt that something big must have happened in front of him, so he squeezed forward with the crowd.
Su Chen gasped, reluctantly followed the pace of the crowd, ran for about a cup of tea, rested, and finally saw the big waterfall.
Su Chen held on to a pine tree next to the waterfall, panting, and looked at the scene in front of him.
I saw a waterfall hanging for nine days like the Milky Way, and the white light flowed straight down, revealing a slightly colorful rainbow under the refraction of the sun's rays.
The "boom" sound is harsh and deafening.
Su Chen endured the deafening sound of the waterfall, his gaze passed over the disciples standing in front of him, and tried to look ahead.
In front is a woman!
Su Chen kept saying to the brothers around him: "I'm sorry!
In a field of "What are you doing?"
"Don't push me!"
"I'm sorry! borrowed, borrowed. ”
"Damn, you kid, what are you going to do, do a fight?"
"Borrowed, borrowed!"
Su Chen finally squeezed in front of this group of disciples under the angry noise.
Just a glance!
Just a glance!
Su Chen saw a woman with a peerless style!
This woman has a bun, a hairpin, and a dark robe, and she is dressed like an ordinary inner disciple.
However, he carried a light blue wide sword, like a stone that was beaten by the wind and rain, and stood calmly on a raised stone under the waterfall, not dodging because of the fall of the waterfall, and not retreating and dodging because of the impact in front of the water.
The woman's temples were blown backwards by the wind brought by the impact of the water, revealing a beautiful face that was already thrilling without powder, coupled with her eyes standing under the waterfall, sharp, persistent, full of aggression, and the look of not admitting defeat, so that countless disciples watched from afar and did not dare to disturb.
Su Chen looked at the woman stupidly like this, he didn't seem to hear everything in the outside world clearly, so he looked at the woman stupidly, looked at her temperament, looked at her temples, and looked at her eyes facing difficulties!
Su Chen felt that his whole world lit up!
"Ah, look, look! she's moving!"
A disciple's voice sounded in Su Chen's ears.
Su Chen hurriedly looked at the movements of the girl under the waterfall.
I saw that the beautiful and persistent woman, just a simple bending down and sinking down, made the outer disciples who were still dozens of feet away feel a sense of depression, silence, and a sense of gathering strength haunting their hearts.
Su Chen felt that his whole body was in this strange situation, he unconsciously trembled, had difficulty breathing, and unconsciously felt that the whole body had a feeling of oppression, this feeling of oppression was like water, flexible and invisible, but intuition gave you a warning sense of oppression, so that you couldn't break free, and the source of the oppression, through the vague induction in the heart, was the beautiful woman I had been staring at.
