Chapter 2: The Pavilion of Wind and Rain
Taihang Mountain Wind and Rain Pavilion, why is it named Wind and Rain Pavilion, there is a saying that this Wind and Rain Pavilion is very close to the Ink Garden, and the sound of wind and thunder driven by the birds and beasts that come and go to the Ink Garden makes the Pavilion often roar inside and outside.
Another saying is that the wind and rain pavilion is built on the windward slope of Taihang Mountain, the annual precipitation is more and larger, every time it rains, it will form a water curtain in front of the pavilion, the reason may be the special relationship of the roof, so that the heavy rain can gather together again, and then vigorously throw out, it seems, the wind and rain do not move like a mountain, there is also the meaning of avoiding wind and rain.
It is said that the wind and rain pavilion was originally a place to worship the dragon king, perennial incense continuously, but three years ago there was a great drought, how people prayed for it did not work, so the incense decreased year after year, no one in the temple to take care of it, it was abandoned very early, and this temple was dismantled last year. It may be that people want to seek a smooth relationship in this building, and the name of the Wind and Rain Pavilion has become.
Today, the attic is surrounded by a restaurant, the restaurant is called Jixian Ju, this restaurant is also coincidental, it is open on the second floor of this attic, the first floor of the attic is for guests to rest, there is sweet mint tea for guests to enjoy.
Often people who are in a hurry don't care about ordering food and drinking, so they just pick up a big bowl of tea and drink it, take two copper plates and give them to the tea sellers to continue on the road without delaying anything.
This second floor is the collection of immortals, the decoration inside is very elegant, standing next to the window can overlook the style of Taihang Mountain, because this attic is located on the top of the mountain, and the building is also high, often in the early morning there will be clouds and mist floating under it, making people feel like they are in the sky.
The nature that can be in the sky is the immortals, so this restaurant is called Jixian Ju. At the same time, it is also an honorific title for guests, and guests are naturally very happy, and it is common to give more rewards.
At the same time, this wind and rain pavilion is very close to the ink garden, the ink garden is a subordinate of the ink pool, although it is a subordinate, but it has nothing to do with it, they are all in charge of their own.
It's just that the outstanding students of the Ink Garden can go to the Ink Pool to comprehend the Great Dao, and the students who have attained the Tao can enter the Splash Ink Pool to practice more advanced spells, so they are widely welcomed by people.
This ink garden is relatively close to Xuantongguo, so most of the students recruited are talents from Xuantongguo. There are also many people from other countries who have traveled thousands of miles to take the exam.
However, this ink garden never accepts people of unknown origin, no matter who they are, they need to investigate their life experience before deciding to admit them. Because Moyuan pays attention to both love and great love for the world, it pays more attention to recruiting honest people.
Moreover, most of the cultivated martial arts cultivators were recruited by Xuantong State to serve as officers, and if it was a national army, it naturally could not be mixed with unstable factors, so this was also the reason why Moyuan received people with innocent backgrounds.
This year happened to be the entrance exam of the Ink Garden, and there were a total of seven academies on this continent, namely the Zongheng Academy, the Xianjian Academy, the Ink Garden, the Five Elements Academy, the Linbing Academy, the Zen Academy, and the Dao Garden.
During this period, the entrance exams for each college are different, and the entrance examinations for each college start in August, and then one college every year, and all the rounds are completed after seven years, and the competition is held in the eighth year.
The ranking of the competition determines the ranking of each house, and the first place is awarded by the organizer, and the first place also determines which house the next competition will be held.
This year, it is the turn of Moyuan to enroll, and Moyuan's admissions exam is very strict, mainly three tests. Observe the body, enter the spirit, and open the mind.
This observation is specially prepared for martial arts students, the so-called martial arts students, that is, they have a weak perception of spiritual power, but with their own martial arts, they can also have a cognition of things in the world, such a person investigates the body.
However, due to the great limitations of martial arts cultivation, it is difficult to participate in the opportunity to comprehend the Great Dao, which makes it difficult for martial arts cultivators to survive and exert little strength, so they have a humble status in the academy.
However, the threshold for cultivating martial arts is much lower than that for entering the spirit, so the number of people who take the martial arts test is very large. If you can't enter the spirit, you will be able to open the mind, the so-called enlightenment means to enlighten the mind, that is, to test the perception.
I remember that once Mo Yuan took the examinees to the Wind and Rain Pavilion and asked, "What have you realized?" One of the examinees was silent for a long time, and then slowly replied: "There is wind and rain in the Water Pavilion, and there is no water to show the dragon." β
Without saying a word, he was included in his disciples, and when the other elders heard about it, they wanted to ask for this son, but they were all stopped by the elder examiner at that time.
Later, there was a fight over this matter, and the vice president personally came forward to calm it down. It is said that now this son is very good, and he is deeply loved by the elders!
Approaching the exam stage, this wind and rain pavilion is also lively, most of them are people who want to take the exam, and a small number of them are businessmen and local residents.
At this time, outside the Wind and Rain Pavilion, suddenly a strong wind blew in the sky, and thunderstorms roared. Everyone hurriedly looked up, and someone shouted, "Look at the big black cloud." When everyone heard his words, they burst into laughter.
After a while, an old man slowly explained the reason. It turns out that this big bird is the mount of the Qiao family, named Wind Thunderbird, and it is said that this bird travels very fast in the wind and thunderstorm, and even after flying on a sunny day, it will bring a thunderclap.
Although this wind thunderbird is not rare, it is not easy to catch, most of them inhabit the mountain tops, and they come out to quench their bodies every time the wind and thunder sounds. At this point, bait can be placed and captured, but it is difficult to tame.
Hearing the old man say this, a look of envy suddenly appeared on everyone's faces, and at this time, in an inconspicuous corner of the hall, a little boy had an extremely angry look on his face.
The boy was only about fifteen or sixteen years old with a hat, and he looked resolute and unyielding. It's just that the perseverance on that face doesn't quite look like what a naΓ―ve child like fifteen or sixteen should have.
Perhaps only he knew in his heart that eight years ago, his parents were forced to commit suicide by throwing themselves into the river because they couldn't repay the huge bonds of the Qiao family, leaving him alone.
Taking on the burdens of life early made him tenacious and unyielding. In order to take revenge, he resolutely began to train himself, and the previous scene also appeared in front of him.
A little boy on the riverside shouted barefoot: "Hey, hey, hey" his hands went in and out of the river, I don't know where he heard about the cultivation strength and accuracy of "catching crabs in the river", I saw the boy grabbing down quickly with his fingers, and I don't know how long it took, the little boy was already sweating profusely, but his little face was full of unyielding, and he didn't mean to stop at all. β
Looking at his arm, the young man smiled slightly, now he can accurately capture the crab thunder in the river. At this time, the young man immediately looked at his legs again, and there were many scars of different sizes scattered on them, and the memories couldn't help but start playing back again.
In the mountains behind the village, a little boy kept running back and forth between the mountains and the mountains, and strangely enough, the little boy seemed to be holding something in his hand, and when he looked closely, he realized that it was firewood for the fire, and each time he placed the firewood behind the house and then ran up the mountain. After a day of practice, the little boy had twice as much firewood as others. β
After a long time of practice, now his strength has reached 100 cow power, the young man pondered for a while, and silently thought in his heart, "It's not enough!
sorted out the unwillingness in his heart, slowly got up, walked to the road to the ink garden, and secretly determined that he must achieve something to avenge his parents.
At this moment, his figure is so firm and calm. Left on the road of thunder. No one may know about his figure, and no one cares, but it is enough for him to know that he cares.
