Volume 1 The Dragon Goes Out of the North Chapter 8 The Mountains Are Hidden in the Clouds
Xunyang is located in Cangzhou, looking at the sand in the north and the sea in the south. Of course, this "sea" is not a real sea, but an endless "green sea".
Out of the south of Cangzhou, it is Lingzhou, which borders the Xiju Plateau, and is like a piece of green jade all year round. Lingzhou is low-lying and has many basins, but there is a towering mountain in the southernmost part, which is known as one of the Kunlun Mountains of "the world's strange peaks", and the corresponding other is the Xuanyuan Mountain that ranks first on the martial arts list and pulls out the mountains and seas. The mountains at the foot of Kunlun Mountain are undulating, like a sea of clouds, which makes this Kunlun Mountain stand out.
The ancient temple in the deep mountains, the hidden mountain gate of the strange peak.
There is an assassin mountain hall hidden in the Kunlun Mountains, which has been famous for nearly two hundred years and has not declined.
In this flowing river, it is difficult to maintain prosperity for such a long time. The river does not turn, the world moves, and the sect that has been polished over the years is becoming more and more mysterious.
From the south of Lingzhou, the official road turns into a small road, the small road becomes a path, at the end of the path, two big stones are erected, a stone carved dagger on the big stone, a stone carved long sword, the potential becomes a horn, and the murderous spirit is dark. The craftsmanship and cultivation of the master of this stone carving can be seen to have reached the peak. Two big stones stand on both sides of the path, and there are two proverbs on the stones: on the three leaders in the martial arts world, the first in the world of killing.
The boulder is shaped like a gate, but there is no road behind it, only a stretch of mountains. How arrogant and repulsive the Assassin Mountain Hall is, and how rejecting people from thousands of miles away.
After really passing through this mountain forest, I came to the front of the antique wood lacquer mountain gate of the mountain hall, and saw a stubborn stone, standing on the edge of the cliff at the top of the cliff, with a sword book: idle guests in the clouds, helpless people in the world.
For hundreds of years, the Assassin Mountain Hall has been a helpless person.
On the mountain, Su Tianma put the green cliff, and the people were in the cold and hellish Hades Palace. Out of the Hades Palace, seeing the long-lost sunshine, Su Tiantian consciously blocked it, and forcibly swallowed a mouthful of blood up his throat.
In front of the eye is a pair of fierce Jianxi stone carvings, standing in front of the palace of Hades, where the murderous machine is hidden. Hades Palace, Ten Halls of Hades. Sure enough, it's not that easy to walk.
A slight breathing sound came from behind him.
Su Tiantian suddenly pulled out his sleeve sword, slashed back with a sword, and slashed at the people from behind.
The person who came pressed down with two fingers, Shi Zhenshan seal, and quietly pressed the sword down.
"It's murderous."
Wearing a long robe, a long sword, and a back of one hand, the temples were white, the old man smiled and flicked the sword back to Su Tiantian. is such a clever means, no wonder, this person's name is Wang Rafter, he is the master of the mountain hall, the means are not high, how to suppress the unruly disciples of the mountain hall?
"Well, the perception is sharper, not bad."
Su Tiantian lifted his sword upside down, and put his other hand on the other sword at his waist, just waiting to draw the sword out. He looked at Wang Rafter vigilantly, this old man was not a good man.
Wang Rafter changed one-handed back to two-handed, and laughed loudly: "If you put on a stinky shelf again, it will really beat you." ”
Su Tiantian's posture remained unchanged, but he took half a step back, like a three-point accumulation before a tiger hunted a beast.
Wang Rafter narrowed his eyes, his eyes were not good. He secretly glanced around, there was no one, and after a while, he sighed helplessly and scolded in a low voice: "Okay, okay, stinky boy." If you accept God's pass, you let Uncle Shi go. ”
The corners of Su Tiantian's mouth twitched, and his eyes softened a little.
Wang Rafter said again: "Accompany Uncle Shi for a walk?" ”
Wang Rafter didn't give Su Tiantian time to think about it this time, he raised his feet and left, scolding as he walked, "Just come back, you have a stinky face, you deserve to be beaten." ”
Su Tiantian hesitated, put away his Hidden Blade, and quickly followed.
The two of them walked extremely fast, climbing all the way up the mountain. Out of the Valley of Hades, find a path and go up, higher and higher, and look elsewhere the farther and farther, the smaller the mountains. Walking further up, I came to a very famous place in Kunlun Mountain, Qingya. This place name is taken from the "poetry and sword fairy" who drove the crane to patrol the sky hundreds of years ago, "and put the white deer between the green cliffs", it is a natural cliff, here is far away, there is no trace of barrier as far as the eye can see, the sea of clouds rolls, heaven and earth are one. Su Tiantian put the "chasing the moon" that came with him and traveled 800 and 1,000 a day here.
Wang Rafter walked straight to the edge of the cliff and stopped, with a long sword in a Confucian shirt and a full fairy wind bone.
He asked lightly: "Are you still blaming the old man for letting you go to the Wheel Palace?" ”
Su Tiantian didn't say a word.
Wang Rafter continued: "You have your philosophy, the mountain hall has the rules of the mountain hall, and some rules are not bad. We haven't been in decline for 200 years, and that's a very important factor. In the past hundred years, the mountain hall has a big mind, and if you can climb the mountain gate where the stubborn stone nods, you will accept disciples, and if you can kill any master above the third grade, you can enter the 'Ascending Pole Palace' to enlightenment, which seems to be beautiful, but what really makes the mountain hall stand tall is not these, but those invisible rules and regulations, can you understand? ”
Wang Rafter smiled and said: "You are the number one embryo killer in Tianluo Palace, you forcibly entered the world before you learned a great success, and the old man was very angry." With this one alone, what can you do if you are a traitor? You don't know how Shantang dealt with traitors? Have you ever seen the shadow of a Tianluo Temple killer all these years? ”
As soon as Wang Rafter raised his hand, he stopped Su Tiantian's desire to speak and stopped, and said to himself, "The Lord of the Hades Palace is tortured and tortured, the Ten Palaces Hades kill the Nine Rank Martial Artists, Qin Guang kills the last rank 'Wuji', Chu Jiang kills 'Wugong', Emperor Song kills 'Nameless', the official kills Luo Pre, Yama kills the snap of his fingers, and Bian Cheng kills the instant." In the back three halls, Mount Tai kills the third high-ranking position, the city kills the second-grade holy words, equally kills the first product of the Mandate of Heaven, and the last hall of the wheel hall, kills the world's martial artists, but can change the rank of the punished person according to the warrant of the mountain hall master or the lord of the Hades hall. It is understandable for the disciples who have remembered the great things in the mountain hall to go back to the mountain hall and go to the Hades Palace, this Hades Hall is not aimed at you, but according to the old man, you can go to the Wheel Hall this time. ”
Su Tiantian was silent for a moment and asked, "The Wheel Hall claims to kill all the martial artists in the world, so what can be done by killing the Mandate of Heaven?" ”
Wang Rafter took a deep look at Su Tiantian, nodded heavily, and said, "Kill." ”
"I walked the Wheel Hall just now, what rank?"
"The old man clapped, high position. The old man wants you to try the Word, but he is afraid that you will leave an arm in it. ”
Su Tiantian said lightly: "It's low." ”
Wang Rafter paused for a moment, and suddenly laughed. The old man clapped his hands while laughing, leaning back and closing his smile together, "You! ”
Su Tiantian looked puzzled.
After laughing, the old man pointed to his side and motioned for him to come forward. Su Tiantian patted the head of Chasing the Moon, walked up, and stood side by side with the old man.
"Can you tell Uncle Shi what you've done over the years?"
Su Tiantian looked to the north and said softly: "Battlefield, kill." ”
Wang Rafter also glanced at the north, thoughtfully, and nodded, "It seems that you have still managed to be confident all these years, and you have not taken the wrong path, so it's okay." In fact, I knew you were coming as soon as you walked under the big rock at the foot of the mountain, and although you had a murderous aura on you at that time, there was no evil spirit, which is also the reason why I could let you go up the mountain, otherwise, I would have killed you under that stubborn rock. ”
Su Tiantian consciously wanted to draw his sword.
"Don't be afraid."
Wang Rafter smiled, raised his hand and pointed at the sea of clouds in front of him, and said: "Martial arts in the world, three orders and nine grades, people in the three sects only cultivate a single realm, but martial arts must be gradual and go straight to the heavens." Among the nine realms, the martial arts below the three grades are not worth mentioning, only seeking to be pragmatic and rushing to the realm, and above the three grades, it is the beginning of the world's fame. You're good and have seen a long way off. ”
"What is the road above the first product?"
Wang Rafter smiled and said mysteriously: "Immortal." Some people who can't be ranked on the martial arts list may be old monsters who have lived for hundreds of years. The ancestor who retreated in our mountain hall two hundred years ago is said to have attained enlightenment in this mountain, and he may jump out one day and knock down this Kunlun Mountain with one palm. ”
Su Tiantian only felt that his scalp was numb.
Wang Rafter smiled and pulled out the long sword on his back, "I have been the hall master of the Ascending Pole Hall for twenty years, and the world says that I am a late bloomer, forty years of loneliness and namelessness, and it has only been six years of enlightenment to be a little beginning." But this is the case, the position of the hall master of the Extreme Hall is still for me to sit on, and the previous hall master also died under this sword. Today I will not talk to you about the merits, only about the advance and retreat of martial arts. The assassin's killing path is inconsistent with the Heavenly Dao Dao, the killing is too heavy, and the grievances are too deep. Therefore, over the years, most of the people in the mountain hall have failed to attack the realm of the Mandate of Heaven with killing alone, and some have even gone mad. I sat in the Ascending Hall for six years, and I received a lot of guidance from my ancestors. The mountain hall was built 300 years ago, but it has only been 200 years since it became famous, do you know why? ”
The old man slowed down and said: "The ancestors founded the mountain hall, at that time there were many more sects in Zhongzhou than now, the ancestors' martial arts were superb, but the disciples were weak, the realm of the three grades was only a handful, and the realm of the mandate of heaven was only one person. It was like this for decades, until a senior rushed to the realm and entered the Mandate of Heaven in Qianling Mountain, attracting Buddhas from all over the sky and shaking the mountain hall, and since then there has been a precedent for changing the path. For hundreds of years, the people in my mountain hall have climbed the martial arts, there are from the killing road to the Huang Lao, from the killing road to the Buddha road, the domineering, the royal road, the law road, the art road can also be done quite a lot, the mountain hall style is strong, this Kunlun mountain top even legend can be seen in a hundred schools of thought. Isn't this Ascending Hall now a treasure hall built for disciples to ascend to the Pole and enlighten? My Wang Rafter is not very capable, he sharpened a sword in six years, and then he went from killing to Confucianism, and in the past 20 years, he is still only one step below your master. Little guy, when you come back this time, do you want to enter the Ascending Pole Palace? Why, if the world is not peaceful, you can't hold it back? Since he has forged a perfect and flawless physique in the mountain hall since he was a child, and he has polished his arrogance on the battlefield, he is willing to be ruined like this? ”
Wang Rafter said earnestly: "Young man, your realm is not enough, and your mood is too anxious. Martial arts immortality, if you don't walk step by step, how can you come out? I've seen a lot of people with good talents, and I've seen a lot of people with deep moods, I'll be honest, you have only one result when you enter the temple this time, and you have fallen. ”
He looked at the young man who walked back to feed the moon chasing BMW, "I said these words, believe it or not, it's up to you." But you'd better go and find your master, after all, according to the rules of the mountain hall, you also need Master's permission to enter the Ascending Pole Hall. Last time you left the mountain hall with him on your back, this time, do you think he will agree? ”
Su Tiantian's hand to feed the horse unconsciously stopped. Wang Rafter smiled, put the unsheathed long sword in front of him, and asked, "Boy, you should have seen a lot of fighting and killing on the battlefield over the years, have you ever encountered a person or sword that you feel is a threat to you?" What do you think of my sword? ”
Su Tiantian looked at the old man in surprise.
On the edge of the green cliff thousands of miles high, Wang Rafter, the lord of the Ascending Palace, swung a sword, a sword to survey the sky, and returned to the sheath.
But see—
Thousands of miles of flowing clouds, a moment later, a neat line appeared, above this line, the flowing clouds did not move, below this line, the flowing clouds collapsed layer by layer.
Cut through the clouds with a sword!
The old man spat softly, "The sky is over. ”
How can the martial arts be so penetrating?
Wang Rafter looked at Su Tiantian, who had not returned to his senses for a long time, and asked with a smile, "Scared silly?" ”
Seeing that he was silent, the old man coughed, pretended to be mysterious, and said: "Boy, let me tell you something again, do you know how angry the old man was when he noticed that you left the mountain hall?" ”
……
The wind rose on Kunlun Mountain, the old man twisted his beard, and finally smiled after a while: "Actually, after you left, the old man didn't get angry. He just sighed all the time and didn't say a word to anyone for the past few days. Once in a while, I drank with me, and I only said that this kid went down the mountain early, but don't die outside. ”
Su Tiantian's face was expressionless.
