Chapter Ninety-Six: Guarding the Sword Shrine
The black whirlwind couldn't help but hiss with joy when he saw his master coming, but except for Chu Tianwen, the faces of the other mountain guarding disciples yesterday were not bad.
Looking at their awkward appearance when they walked, Lin Yu expected that he was afraid that a few disciples would not be able to do more, and seeing the tall and tall horse of the black whirlwind, he couldn't help but step forward to caress it, and the result can be imagined, the hooves of the black whirlwind are not vegetarian.
"Hehe, Brother Lin, your mount is really powerful. Seeing Lin Yu and Pan Ping from Songtao Peak walking down, Chu Tianwen stretched his waist and said hello.
"It's all my fault that I went up the mountain too hurriedly and caused trouble to Senior Brother Chu. Lin Yu said and patted the black whirlwind's head gently.
"Well, somebody will come to replace us in a moment, and this nasty rotation is finally over. Brother Lin, I, Chu Tianwen, am a disciple of Ripple Peak, and my ancestor is Jiang Sui, an elder of the Martial Arts Hall. If you have time, you can come to me and talk about it. Chu Tian Wenyao looked at a few disciples of other branches coming in front of him, and knew that the person who had changed the guard had arrived, so he turned around and left with a few of his junior disciples.
"Senior Brother Pan, how do you have the kung fu to hang out here?" The person who came was a disciple of Hanchi Peak, and when he saw that there were only Pan Ping and two strangers here, he asked with a smile.
"Senior Brother Han, I came here to pick up the guests' horses on the order of the family teacher, Senior Brother Chu, they have already left. Pan Ping saluted at the visitor.
"Hehe, this Chutian asked. The disciple surnamed Han shook his head and didn't say anything.
As soon as Chu Tianwen came, he was already perverse, and his actions were difficult to figure out. Second, there are often guests at the mountain gate, so they don't have any other ideas about Lin Yu and the others. Just let the three of them and one horse go towards the mountain gate.
After settling down in the black whirlwind, Pan Ping took Lin Yu and the others out, opened his mouth and asked, "Brother Lin, my Fengshan has ten views of Fengshan such as the sea of clouds and Baizhang Cliff. I wonder where we go first?"
"I want to go to the Sword Shrine. Lin Yu checked the blue light sword that Zhang Chu handed back before going out this morning. When he came to the Golden Sword Gate, the first task was to return this sword to the arms of his ancestors, and it could be regarded as fulfilling one of his master's wishes......
Behind the main peak of Maple Mountain, there is an associated partial front, which is called the Back Mountain. The place where the Golden Sword Gate was used to bury the people of the past dynasties is located here.
Originally, people were not allowed to approach here, but Zhang Chu had previously explained that Lin Yu had a lot of connections with his master, and his requirements, in addition to the ancestral ancestral hall behind the main peak and the Wuliang Cliff on the top of the back mountain, did not mention that the Sword Guarding Shrine was a forbidden place.
It's just that in the immeasurable cliff above the Sword Guarding Mound, there is the only Supreme Elder of the Golden Sword Sect who lives. If you meet this old man who is about to be a hundred years old but a naughty child, it is not something that you can control.
"Senior Brother Cui, lead the way. Lin Yu looked at Pan Ping, who was thinking deeply, and urged.
"Oh, this. Brother Lin is also a person who understands the general situation, and there is nothing wrong with it, so please come here. Pan Ping thought about it for a long time, and after all, there was no good way, so he had to lead the way first.
After the three of them got off Songtao Peak, they turned around and went to the main peak of Lanxing. On the mountainside, a fork in the road branched off. After Lin Yu glanced at the road leading to the main hall of the main peak, he turned around without hesitation and followed Pan Ping to another fork in the road.
The scene in front of me slowly changed, and this place was no longer as red as the main peak. It was late autumn now, and the maple trees on Maple Mountain were turning red, but they had not been seen since Lin Yu and the others walked on the road leading to the Sword Guarding Tomb.
Instead, there was a large bamboo forest, and a gust of wind blew, and the bamboo knots rustled against the bamboo leaves, as if they wanted to say something to the three people who had come here.
"Brother Lin, this is the sword mound of my Golden Sword Sect, where the elders of my sect have been buried. However, I implore you not to stay here for long, after all, our ancestors are gone, and we should not disturb their purity. Pan Ping said.
"Well, please rest assured, I just want to pay homage to my ancestor at the grave of my ancestor so that I can do my filial piety. Lin Yu looked at this large open space surrounded by bamboo forests, in which hundreds of graves were lined up in order, and the epitaph of each grave explained the identity and deeds of the owner.
Not every disciple of the Golden Sword Sect can come here after death. If you are not an elder or a person who has contributed heavily to the master, you are not eligible to be buried here with a sword after your death.
People are in the sword, people are dead and the sword is destroyed, which is why this place is named the sword mound......
"Squeak!" Xiao Bai poked his little head out of Lin Yu's neckline, obviously it was also affected by this somewhat cold and quiet place.
"Xiaobai, you and Da Zhuang will wait for me here for a while. Lin Yu took it out and put it on Wu Dazhuang's shoulder.
"Senior Brother Pan, please. Lin Yu nodded to Wu Dazhuang, turned to Pan Ping and said.
"Brother Lin, please. Pan Ping glanced at Xiao Bai and led Lin Yu towards the depths of the Sword Guarding Shrine......
A round tomb of some years old stood quietly in a corner of the sword mound, and a young man in a light blue robe knelt in front of him, and incense, fruits, and paper money were placed in front of him.
This young man is Lin Yu, and today he specially changed into a clean robe. This kind of Confucian shirt is the favorite of the students, and it has a sense of freedom and freedom when worn on the body.
"The master is above, the little apprentice Lin Yu came to visit you on the order of the master, and returned the blue light sword to the original owner. May you bless the Golden Sword Gate with prosperity and the health of your master. Lin Yu said, kowtowed to the grave three times, and then got up and held the sword behind his back with both hands. After bowing to the teacher again, he solemnly plunged the sword into the ground next to the grave.
"It turns out that he is really Master Xue's apprentice. Pan Ping, who was on the side, finally confirmed the identity of the other party when he saw this, no wonder the master instructed him to entertain him.
"Liu Min's apprentice grandson, isn't that the great-grandson of the old man?" A voice came, Lin Yu looked up, and saw an old man in tattered clothes hanging diagonally on a thick bamboo, which he used as a swing bamboo to make an overwhelming creak.
"Senpai, is that you?" ......
At the same time, the Golden Sword Gate took the main hall of the Star Peak.
"Jingyue, you said that the person who came is the disciple of the rebel?is this true?What are their intentions?" It was Pang Song, the first of Cangbai Peak, who spoke.
"Elder Pang, please be careful when you speak. For many years, the head of the family no longer holds Xue Feng accountable, so why do you want to speak disrespectfully?" Jing Yue frowned and said to Pang Song.
"Okay, don't make any noise. After informing the boss last night, the boss gathered us here. I think he'll come later. Regardless of whether the Xue Feng disciple in Jingyue's mouth is true or not, or if there are any intentions, the head will give us an explanation. Jiang Sui, the first seat of Ripple Peak, frowned.
On weekdays, the first seat of the six veins has its own affairs, and if it is not for the rotation relationship, it rarely appears in the main hall of the Golden Sword Gate. Today, the head of Tong suddenly came out of the customs and summoned everyone here, obviously there is something to say.
Cuizhu Peak first and Shang Jia Elder Jingyue, Ripple Peak first and Jiangwutang Elder Jiang Sui, Yueming Peak first and law enforcement elder Chen Gengnian, Hanchi Peak first and internal affairs elder Lu Bin, as well as Cangbai, Songtao Peak first Pang Song and Zhang Chu, except for Song Huaiyuan, the first seat of Yueming Peak who is responsible for the security of the mountain gate and the management of the outer sect disciples on weekdays, are all here.
"Ahem...... Have you all arrived?" an old voice came into everyone's ears. Everyone looked back, and an old man with a childish face walked out of the side hall slowly.
"I've seen the senior brother in charge. The crowd rose from their chairs and saluted.
"Sit, sit. The head of Tong pressed his right hand falsely, signaling that everyone did not have to be polite. The Taishan Beidou of today's great martial arts is now in the age of rotten wood, but the ruthlessness of the years has not been reflected in him.
It's just that over the years, the head of the sect has been bent on pursuing breakthroughs in martial arts and has slowly handed over everything in the door to a few elders, but it's a pity that there has never been a strong person in the various veins who can take over his position, otherwise he really wants to be a hands-off shopkeeper.
The head of the house walked to the main seat and sat down, and after Mingyue added tea to him, he retreated to the outside of the hall and closed the door.
"Oh, Song Huaiyuan is not here, but he is too busy? Pang Song, Zhang Chu, if you have free time, you will go and share some affairs for Huaiyuan. The head of the Tong Gate looked around and knew that Song Huaiyuan from the Mountain Patrol Hall had not come.
However, it is no wonder that he not only has to monitor all corners of the Golden Sword Gate at all times, but also has to be responsible for the tens of thousands of outer disciples, and the matter is extremely heavy. Therefore, if there is no serious matter, Song Huaiyuan is often not present.
"I have summoned you to this, and there are two things. The head of the house took a sip of tea and said slowly.
"First, yesterday Jingyue told me that the apprentice of Xue Feng, an abandoned apprentice of my sect, came here and hoped to return to the mountain gate. Second, a few days ago, the Water Sword Sect came to report that a large number of cult members had appeared in Mengtianfu, and it seemed that they had something to do with the Maitreya Sect. After saying these words, the head of the Tong family was silent.
"Senior brother in charge, in my opinion, about the apprentice of the deceased, we had better consider it face-to-face, so as to confirm his identity. As for the incident in Mengtianfu, Senior Brother Yu thought that he should send a few powerful disciples to the Water Sword Gate to confirm the situation. Seeing that everyone bowed their heads and was silent, law enforcement elder Chen Gengnian took the lead in speaking.
As soon as these words came out, several people nodded their heads one after another, and faintly seemed to be the only one with Chen Gengnian as the head of the horse.
"Senior Brother Head, I think what Elder Chen said about the Maitreya Sect is very reasonable, and among the outer disciples of my sect who are all over the place, there are many business travelers. I thought I could get the disciples on Mengtian's side to pay more attention. As for Lin Yu, I don't think there will be any fakes. Jingyue waited for everyone to finish talking and said slowly.
"Hmph, I haven't seen him for many years, how can you say that there is no problem with the kid who suddenly visited? Just with that blue light sword? I also think that the evil demon killed that Xue Feng, and then pretended to be his disciple to our Golden Sword Sect to have a plot." Pang Song interjected coldly.
"Hmph, those who are clear are self-purifying. Jingyue didn't bother to pay attention to Pang Song and turned her head.
"Zhang Chu, what do you think?" Seeing that everyone had no objections to the affairs of Meng Tianfu, the head of Tong asked Zhang Chu, who was Songtao Peak.
"Boss, uncles. The apprentice settled the two of them last night, and in my opinion, the young man named Lin Yu had steady footwork, and a sharp temperament was exposed, and he should not be a person in the cult. However, at this moment, Pan Ping is accompanying him to visit Fengshan, so it is better to summon him to the palace so that you can have a look. Zhang Chu lowered everyone and spoke politely.
"Well, since that's the case, then in two days, pick two capable third-generation disciples to go to the Water Sword Gate to investigate. As for that young man, Zhang Chu, you go and call him here. The head of the house paused and commanded.
"Yes!" Zhang Chu saluted to the head of the door and exited the door.
