Chapter 245, Sword and Snow
The Sword Sect realm is mountainous, and the mountains are handsome and strange.
There are many strange sword peaks that go straight to the sky, the snow on the top of the mountain can be seen all year round, and the pine and cypress are like the sea below, and then you can see the sword sect people who pursue the way of the sword.
The people of the Sword Sect take the sword as the way.
Up to the Sword Tomb Mountain and the thirty-six peaks guarding the Sword Tomb Mountain, down to the homes of ordinary people, people wearing green clothes embroidered with white sword characters on their shoulders and carrying three-foot Qingfeng on their backs can be seen everywhere.
The white sword character in Tsing Yi is the symbol of the swordsmen of the Sword Sect, which is also a kind of supreme honor for them.
The Sword Sect has a saying from ancient times: Life and death follow the three-foot sword, and the wind and clouds are 90,000 miles.
It is also this sentence that has made countless Sword Sect people tirelessly pursue the way of the sword. Once the world was stable, the people of the Sword Sect cultivated their families with the way of swords. Now the world is in chaos, and the people of the Sword Sect rule the country and level the world with the way of the sword.
The way of the sword has been fused into the blood of the Sword Sect, and when the child is five years old, the elders in the family will sharpen the wooden sword for him. Because children are small, wooden swords are relatively light and easy to practice, and they will not be injured by the rounded blade and tip of the sword. Walking in the realm of the Sword Sect, you can see children practicing swords everywhere on the roadside, and the dragon and tiger step sword flowers are exquisite.
At the age of twelve, the wooden sword was replaced by a bladeless heavy sword, and the elders would also teach him more subtle swordsmanship. Since then, he has officially embarked on the road of kendo.
At the age of fourteen, they will have a chance. The first eighteen peaks guarding Sword Shrine Mountain recruit a group of disciples every year, and as long as they reach the age of teenagers, they can go to one of the nearest eighteen peaks to participate.
If you pass the entrance examination by the Eighteen Peaks and become a disciple of the Mountain Gate, this is the glory of the family, and the children of the family are accepted as disciples by the Eighteen Peaks, which will mean that you can become a yellow-level swordsman or even a sword king.
The first eighteen peaks of the thirty-six peaks, six peaks on the left, right and back, and the sword mound mountain is in the middle.
On these thirty-six peaks, there is a Sword Sect King who thinks that he has reached the ground level, and the Sword Sect King and the Sword King are one sect word, but they are separated by 108,000 miles. The King of the Sword Sect pursued the sword path for a lifetime, and finally completed the long-cherished wish of 'life and death with a three-foot sword, and the wind and clouds for 90,000 miles'.
This is also the supreme pursuit of all Sword Sect men.
Not only the men of the Sword Sect, but also the little female dolls have also practiced swords since childhood. It is the tradition of the Sword Sect for women to run the house, and a few exquisite sword flowers are also brought in their spare time. Since ancient times, there has been no shortage of female sword kings in the Sword Sect.
The Sword Sect was under the governance of the Sword Clan, and there was plenty of food and clothing. The lord of each castle was elected by the residents of each place, and under the leadership of the lord of the castle, he established a sword hall, built a private house, and cultivated farmland. The neighborhood is harmonious, and the old are dependent on the young.
Unless there is a war, the Sword Sect and the Sword Clan rarely interfere in the local autonomy, and the Sword Sect is peaceful.
Every year from the Eighteen Peaks, a group of disciples will complete their sword cultivation period, and they will each return to their hometowns. The Sword Sect has a group of nine people, and nine hundred and eighty-one is a large formation. Ninety-nine to one large array can be connected again, and the cycle repeats the sword qi.
These disciples have become the backbone of their respective hometowns, and before that, the Shadow Sect and the Imperial Army had a total of millions of people sneaking up on the Western Plains of the Sword Sect, sweeping like locusts all over the sky.
The Sword Clan immediately sent forty Xuan Kings, countless Yellow Rank powerhouses, and summoned a total of 400,000 Sword Sect disciples. After escorting the women and children, the old and the young, and retreating, and taking the women, children, old and young to retreat into the Sword Sect's Dingjun Pass, the 400,000 swordsmen in Tsing Yi fought a bloody battle with the million Shadow Sect and the imperial army.
All the forty Xuan kings were killed in battle, and in the bloody battle of 400,000 Sword Sect disciples, only more than 20,000 people defended the Dingjun Pass.
The million Shadow Sect and the Imperial Army suffered six or seven out of ten casualties, and they could only camp and confront each other if they could not attack the Dingjun Pass.
In that battle, the sword qi was monstrous and the flames of war were raging, and finally stifled the offensive of the surging army, and the Sword Sect set up a large array in various passes, and finally stabilized the situation.
The disciples of the Sword Sect used their sword path to defend the Dingjun Pass and the lifeblood of the Sword Sect Realm, which can be described as an inch of mountains and rivers and an inch of blood.
Every winter, the snow in the Sword Sect is another great spectacle.
Some people say that the cold light sword qi of the Sword Sect soars into the sky, so the sword qi of the Sword Sect also has sword qi in the snow, which will appear whiter and cooler.
In winter, tens of thousands of miles of Junfeng are covered with snow.
On the rooftops and in the forest, countless men of the Tsing Yi Sword Sect practiced swords in the snow, and the sword qi roared wantonly and chic, which was a great scene of the Sword Sect.
The sword is the foundation of the Sword Sect's life, and it is also the origin of their pursuit of the Dao. The love of snow is more like an interpretation of morality.
Within the Sword Sect realm, a snow-white giant beast flew out from the Dragon's Back Mountain Range.
"It's here, Sword Sect Realm. Mo Han said to Sha Qi.
The sword peak rises and the mountains stretch endlessly.
The goose feathers and snow fluttered and fell, and the steep sword peak looked more tough and handsome in the gentle snow.
As far as the eye can see, the pale stretches for thousands of miles.
"It's so beautiful!"
Sha Qi has seen the rivers and seas, Lin Yuan, and the sea of flowers, and it is the first time I have seen such a magnificent snow scene.
Mo Han has a general understanding of the Sword Sect Realm.
The Sword Sect Realm is separated from the Heavenly Dragon Clan, with the Infinite Realm in the westernmost and the Shatuo Clan in the north.
Entering from the Sword Sect portal, a passage from south to north can reach the Shatuo clan, which is also the only passage for the Shatuo clan to enter the hinterland of the Shenlong Dynasty, and this portal is guarded by the Sword Sect. It's a pity that the Shatuo clan claims to be a country, that is, Sha Qi's father Sha Kui is confused and gave Xuanyuan Long a chance, causing the door of the Sword Sect to be wide open.
This passage goes east to the first life and death pass of the Sword Sect Realm, the Dingjun Pass, and between this is a vast plain area, where the Sword Sect people have lived for hundreds of years and thousands of years.
After passing the Dingjun Pass, go straight east to the Jianzong Pass, and there is a fertile field in the middle. It's just that this field is much smaller than outside the Dingjun Pass.
Ninety-nine eighty-one sword formations were laid out outside the Sword Sect Pass, and the people who formed the sword formations were all outstanding disciples selected from the eighteen peaks. Ninety-nine eighty-one sword formations are connected, unpredictable, and even hundreds of thousands of troops can be kept away thousands of miles away.
After passing the Sword Sect Pass, you can go straight to the east to reach the first eighteen peaks that guard the Sword Shrine Mountain. The Sword Clan follows the ancient precepts and guards Sword Shrine Mountain for generations.
Mo Han looked at the direction of the mountain and guessed that the area in front of him should be between Dingjun Pass and Sword Sect Pass.
Listening to Jian Chen, the Shadow Sect and the Imperial Army pressed the Sword Sect's soldiers, and I don't know if they are approaching the Dingjun Pass. According to Mo Han's understanding of Jianchen, if the war is tight, if Jianchen is not in retreat, he should be in Dingjun Pass.
Let's go down and find a place to ask about the battle situation in the Sword Sect Realm, Mo Han let the saber-toothed beast fly towards the gentle field. The Sword Sect Realm is mountainous, the Sword Sect Realm has a large population, and almost all the plains suitable for cultivation are inhabited by people.
The saber-toothed beast slashed towards a plain, which looked like a palm-sized field from above due to the steepness of the mountains below. The further down you go, the plains get bigger and bigger, and it even feels vast enough to accommodate the next big city.
The large trees on the ground gradually became clear, and the large farms were scattered everywhere, and from the level of snow, the remaining land should be farmland. That's enough farmland to feed these farmers.
The saber-toothed beast glides gently to the ground, raising a layer of snow from the ground as it folds its wings.
Mo Han and Sha Qi fell to the ground, and Mo Han said to the saber-toothed beast, "You find a place to play first." ”
Mo Han was afraid that the saber-toothed beast would scare people, and there were many demonic beasts in the Sword Sect realm, and it was still very rare to see such a winged and large demonic beast with an exaggerated head.
The saber-toothed beast was lifted, and Mo Han lay on the ground with a white glance and fused with the snow.
"That's fine. ”
Mo Han patted the stingy saber-toothed beast and took Sha Qi's hand and walked towards a large courtyard.
The main courtyard is only made of solid wood one person high, presumably to block the demonic beasts. Mo Han heard Jianchen say that there was almost no stealing in the Sword Sect Realm, because people had enough food and clothing, and there was nothing to worry about making a living except for sword training and farming.
The structure of this large courtyard is boxy, with only one gate, and there are almost dozens of houses in the south, east, west, and northwest, which looks like several generations of clansmen living in the same courtyard.
There is an open space between the fence and the houses on the periphery, and there are a few places where I don't know what is growing, and from the blue leaves, it looks like vegetables.
Mo Han and Sha Qi walked to the gate of the fence, the door was hidden, and they couldn't see anyone when they looked inside.
Standing outside the fence gate and shouting inside, the people inside shouldn't be able to hear it, Mo Han asked Sha Qi, "Why don't we go inside again?"
Sha Qi smiled and nodded, "Okay!"
The two of them walked inside again with the feeling of being treated as a thief, and when they arrived at the gate, the gate was open and they heard the hissing sound of sword qi cutting through the air.
"Xiaoqi, you call the door. Mo Han took a step back and said.
Sha Qi hurriedly took a step back, glanced at Mo Han and said, "How can there be a girl's house to call the door." ”
Sha Qi was familiar with it when she was in Beast Hunting City, and the people in the city were all walking back and forth, and there was rarely such a thing as calling the door, so she really couldn't shout it all at once.
"Teasing you, I'll do it. Mo Han walked to the door and shouted to the courtyard: "In Xia Mohan, I have something to visit." ”
Sha Qi chuckled, "Brother Mo Han signed up by himself." ”
Mo Han's ears were sharp, and he heard the movement of the sword being retracted, and his footsteps were walking towards the door.
A fourteen-year-old boy dressed in a green coat with a white sword character on his shoulder, with a delicate face, holding the hilt of the sword behind his back and the blade standing upside down behind his arm. A jet-black heavy sword seemed to be a willow leaf in his hand, and the young man in Tsing Yi walked briskly in front of Mo Han.
His face didn't look very good, as if he was a little sad, he barely showed a warm smile for hospitality, and he held the middle hand in his left hand and said, "I've seen my brother and sister, please." ”
Sha Qi felt that this young man was about the same age as her, and he actually called himself sister, and looked at Mo Han with a proud face in his heart, Look at you still say that I am young!
Mo Han didn't respond to Sha Qi's provocative glances, and arched his hand to the young man, "Excuse me." ”
"Brother doesn't look like a person from the Sword Sect, please. ”
The young man's brows frowned inadvertently and then relaxed, now that the Sword Sect is in the midst of war, he doesn't dare to say more if he doesn't know Mo Han's identity, and it is rude to interrogate him, so he can only invite Mo Han in first.
Mo Han saw it in his eyes, and he didn't know what the young man's frown was for, so it seemed that he still had to explain.
Sha Qi smiled politely at the young man, and the young man nodded in response and led the two of them to the courtyard.
"Grandpa, there's a guest coming. ”
Before the boy could get out of the gatehouse, he shouted loudly into the courtyard.
An old man with white hair and white beard stood in the snow with his hands behind his back. His back was straight, and his eyes were like torches. He smiled and said: "We are in the middle of nowhere, and few guests come, so we are sluggish." ”
The old man laughed loudly, and when he raised his hand, he could see that he was an open-minded swordsman.
Mo Han bowed and saluted, "I've seen grandpa." ”
Sha Qi also bowed with Mo Han.
The old man quickly stepped forward to help Mo Han up, and raised his hand slightly to signal Sha Qi not to be formal.
Mo Han said: "This is the junior wife, who has just arrived in the Sword Sect and is not familiar with the road, so I came in to ask for advice." ”
