Chapter 180: Qingcheng Sword Sect
After leaving Chengdu Mansion, Bai Ze traveled all the way to the northwest, and two days later the group arrived near the Min River in Shuzhong.
Along the way, Li Tianfeng knew that he was about to see his brother Li Tianshou, and he was very happy. Since the brother and sister separated, the two of them haven't seen each other for half a year.
This time, I can see my brother Li Tianshou, and the excitement in my heart is beyond words. In the past six months, Li Tianfeng has also grown up and become more sensible.
Shuzhong, Minjiang. The Minjiang River is the most famous river in the land of Bashu, and there is a historically famous Dujiangyan on the side of the Minjiang River.
This Dujiangyan is located in the northwest of Chengdu in Shuzhong, on the Minjiang River in the west of the Chengdu Plain. During the Warring States Period, the people who suffered from the war were eager for the reunification of China as soon as possible.
Coincidentally, the Qin State, which had undergone the reform of the Shang Dynasty, was famous and virtuous for a while, and the country was flourishing. They correctly understood the special strategic position of Ba and Shu in the process of reunifying China, and "if Shu is gained, Chu will be won, and if Chu is lost, the world will be united."
In this historical context, at the end of the Warring States Period, King Qin Zhao appointed Li Bing, who knew astronomy, geography, and lived in seclusion, as the Taishou of Shu County.
After Li Bing took office, he first made up his mind to cure the floods of the Minjiang River, develop agriculture in western Sichuan, benefit the Chengdu Plain, and create an economic foundation for Qin's unification of China.
Legend has it that Li Bing and his son subdued the Minjiang dragon when they controlled the water, locked it in the Fulong Pond under the pile, and the descendants set up an ancestral hall to worship according to this; At the beginning of the Northern Song Dynasty, it was renamed Fulongguan, and Taoist priests were in charge of incense.
In the Southern Song Dynasty, Dujiangyan, which has gone through thousands of years of vicissitudes, still plays a pivotal role.
Bai Tianze and his entourage came to Dujiangyan, where the water conservancy project is huge. Farmers have always made a living from farming, and under the irrigation of Dujiangyan, the land here has a good harvest all year round.
Every household has abundant food and clothing, the prosperity of agriculture has also contributed to the prosperity of commerce, the Southern Song Dynasty paid more attention to commercial trade, so there are many merchants here, there are many craftsmen and small traders in the market, and the prosperity here is second only to Chengdu in the land of Bashu.
In this lively place, Li Tianfeng naturally will not miss the rare opportunity to have fun. She asked Nangong Xue to take her to buy delicious and fun things, and she wanted to buy a favorite gift for her brother Li Tianshou.
Nangong Xue looked at the cute and naughty Li Tianfeng and couldn't bear to refuse her request, so she got out of the carriage and took Li Tianfeng around the lively market in the town.
Li Tianfeng was wandering around the street, Nangong Xue was chasing after him, and Bai Ze was watching the two of them secretly laugh at the end.
At this moment, Bai Bai Ze thought to himself that he and Xue'er would have a child in the future, and it would be good if he could be as happy as he is today.
After a while, Li Tianfeng walked up to a stall where she bought small handicrafts, and she saw a little boy about the size of a palm made of sandalwood.
The wooden boy was very similar to her brother Li Tianshou, so she took Nangong Xue's delicate hand and said, "Auntie, I want that doll!" That doll looks like Brother Tianshou. Nangong Xue looked at Li Tianfeng and pointed at the wooden doll on the stall, it was indeed a very handsome face.
She smiled and said to Li: "It turns out that Xiao Tianfeng's brother is so good-looking!" Okay, my aunt will buy it for you! So Nangong Xue asked the man at the stall,
"Uncle, how much does this doll cost?" The man in the stall was wearing a white scarf, and at first glance he was a native of Bashu, simple and sincere.
It is said that most people in the land of Bashu wear white scarves, which is to commemorate the generation of famous Zhuge Liang who knew astronomy and geography during the Three Kingdoms period.
"This doll costs ten cents, if the little girl likes it, just sell it to you cheaply and give it to eight cents." Nangong Xue is everyone's best girl, so naturally she is not short of money.
She looked at the simple uncle in front of her, knowing that it was not easy for these people to survive, and the money they earned was all to support their families.
So he smiled and took out ten cents from his money bag and handed it to the uncle.
"Uncle, I'll take this wooden little man, thank you, uncle!" The local uncle looked at this kind young lady and felt the other party's respect for him.
Bai Ze watched the two of them wander for a while and was tired, so he said: "Xiao Tianfeng should have had enough, let's go, don't let Uncle Ming wait too long." Nangong Xue nodded, took Tianfeng's hand and followed Bai Bai Ze to the tavern where Ouyang Ming was resting.
Nangong Xue took advantage of the tavern to give Bai Ze and Ou Yangming two gourd spirits. Ou Yangming also inquired about the direction of the Qingcheng Sword Sect, and prepared the carriage to wait for everyone's arrival.
"Uncle Ouyang, this is a drink for you, it's been hard along the way, drink some wine to warm up." Ou Yangming took the gourd spirit, took a big sip, and said with a smile: "It's really good wine!" Thank you, Miss Two, Miss Two, please get in the car. Nangong Xue pulled Li Tianfeng into the carriage together, Bai Bai Ze also rode a horse to open the road in front, and the group walked to the southwest...... Shuzhong, Qingcheng Mountain.
Mount Qingcheng, the holy land of Taoism, one of the four famous mountains of China's four great avenues, one of the five immortal mountains, one of the birthplaces of Taoism in China, and a branch of Quanzhen Sect also preaches here.
Qingcheng Mountain is located in the northwest of Chengdu Mansion in the center of Bashu, southwest of Dujiangyan, and about 20 miles southwest of Dujiangyan Water Conservancy Project.
Qingcheng Mountain is divided into the front mountain and the back mountain, the peaks are surrounded and undulating, and the forest is verdant and verdant
The reputation of "Qingcheng is secluded in the world". The Qingcheng Sword Sect is located in a flat hill at the foot of Qianshan Mountain, far away from the Quanzhen Sect on Qingcheng Mountain, and the two are the largest martial arts sects in Qingcheng Mountain.
Although the Quanzhen Sect is recognized by Taoist people, because it rarely appears in the rivers and lakes, the people in the rivers and lakes only know that there is a Qingcheng Sword Sect with superb swordsmanship near Qingcheng Mountain, but they don't know that there is also a Quanzhen Sect hidden here.
This Qingcheng Sword Sect has the highest martial arts
"Qingcheng Three Elders", Qingcheng Three Elders are the current head of the Qingcheng Sword School, Long Wushou, the unequaled swordsman Zhao Wushuang's junior brother Shi Tianming, and the second generation of disciples such as the five sons of Qingcheng
"Ferris Hand" Huo Siye's senior brother. The three elders of Qingcheng have the highest martial arts ranks, and they don't ask about world affairs all the year round, and only concentrate on retreating and cultivating the magic skills of the Qingcheng Sword Sect, and the big and small affairs of the Qingcheng Sword Sect have always been handled by a few second-generation disciples.
The internal strength of the Qingcheng Sword School is the most authentic Taoist Zhengyi Heart Law, which is divided into nine levels, generally the three generations of disciples can practice up to the fourth level, and the second generation of disciples can generally practice up to the seventh, after which the divine power is becoming more and more difficult to practice, and the head of the Qingcheng Sword School is generally able to reach the seventh realm of internal strength, this generation of Qingcheng three elders have practiced to the eighth level, and the ninth level of the realm of the unity of heaven and man is almost impossible for few people to reach.
Among the second-generation disciples of the entire Qingcheng Sword Sect, the most powerful martial artist is the peerless swordsman Zhao Wushuang.
He is the leader of the second generation of disciples, and he is also recognized as the first master of the Qingcheng Sword School in the rivers and lakes. Because the three elders of Qingcheng have long been out of business, few people in the rivers and lakes know that the Qingcheng Sword Sect still has the existence of the three elders.
The current head of the Qingcheng Sword Sect, Long Xiangxiang, is also an outstanding figure among the second-generation disciples of the Qingcheng Sword School.
Although Zhao Wushuang narrowly won in the end, he had no intention of being in charge, and still gave up the head of the Qingcheng Sword Sect to Long Wushou.
This Qingcheng Sanlao also has a junior brother is Huo Laosi, Huo Laosi is relatively loose, does not like the constraints of door rules, often plays the rivers and lakes, and only returns to the Qingcheng Sword Sect when something big happens.
This Huo Laosi's martial arts are only a little worse than the three elders of Qingcheng, although he is relatively lazy, but the Qingcheng Sword Sect has a clear hierarchy, and the second and third generations of disciples in the sect respect this elder very much.
On this day, Zhao Wushuang personally taught Li Tianshou Qingcheng swordsmanship in the woods behind the Qingcheng Sword School, Li Tianshou is also a good seedling to practice martial arts, learning Qingcheng swordsmanship for half a year has been very proficient in sword moves, under the personal guidance of Zhao Wushuang, martial arts have advanced by leaps and bounds.
In the past six months, Zhao Wushuang also gave Li Tianshou some entry-level formulas for the Zhengyi Method. Li Tianshou's internal strength was gradually enriched under Zhao Wushuang's careful training, and it also laid a solid foundation for cultivating supreme divine skills in the future.
"Tianshou, your swordsmanship has improved more and more in the past few days, and in another three years, your martial arts will have no opponent among the three generations of disciples." Li Tianshou saluted Zhao Wushuang and said, "Master, thank you for your teachings to me in the past six months. In the past six months, I have learned a lot, not only reading and writing, but also practicing martial arts. I will never forget your great kindness in this life. Zhao Wushuang said: "Good apprentice, you should practice hard." The day before yesterday, I received a letter from Nangong Fort, saying that your sister Tianfeng was coming to the Qingcheng Sword Sect to look for you, and it is estimated that it will arrive in the next two days. Li Tianshou was happy all of a sudden, and he jumped up happily, using the light skill of the Qingcheng Sect Flying Eaves Walking Wall that Zhao Wushuang gave him.
"Master, I haven't seen my sister for more than half a year, and I don't know if she has changed. I want to go down the mountain and buy some delicious food for my sister, who likes to eat rock sugar gourds the most. I'll have to see if there's any. Zhao Wushuang agreed to Li Tianshou's request and allowed him to go down the mountain to buy something to eat.
Zhao Wushuang looked at the apprentice he had accepted, and felt that it was really God's arrangement. This Li Tianshou has very high qualifications, stronger than the three generations of disciples of the Qingcheng Sword Sect now, and he also has high hopes for this newly recruited apprentice, hoping that he can take on the important task of the Qingcheng Sword Sect's famous martial arts in the future.
Zhao Wushuang looked at the sword in his hand, this sword has been with him for many years, and there are countless people in the martial arts who have been defeated under this sword.
When the swordsmanship was completed, many black and white masters in the Bashu area came to challenge, and all of them were defeated by Zhao Wushuang's Tianyi swordsmanship.
For a while, his reputation was far and wide, and the people of the rivers and lakes gave him the nickname of the unparalleled swordsman! Many years have passed, will this sword still have the edge of the past?
