Volume 1: Xuanqing Fengyun, the first ramp Chapter 17 Ascending to the Peak
Chang'an, which occupies the geographical potential, is the country of abundance.
There is a dragon vein, starting from the Great Wilderness Mountain in the west and reaching the Yuhai Sea in the east. The dragon's body is from west to east, winding and mighty, coiling to the corner of the sea, turning back to attach the clouds. And at the highest point of this turning back is Zixia Peak.
The dragon turned back, and now there are three royals, which are the Hetu Luoshu, the Five Thunder Order, and the Taiji Astrological Platform. Legend has it that the combination of the three can break through the heavens and determine the world.
Since the Hetu Luo book was lost a hundred years ago, the remaining two royal palaces were stored separately, and the five thunder orders were placed in the palace, as the magic weapon of Chang'an's external expansion and deterrence, the Taiji astrological platform mountain stone is connected, located on the mountain behind the astrology hall, and is regarded as the supreme monument of Xuanqing.
At this point, the kings and gods ruled separately, but they also merged with each other. The military generals in the court are all practicing Taoist methods, and they are not subject to ordinary people's incense but they are worry-free about food and clothing, and they rely on the worship of the whole country.
Early the next morning, more than 30 people who passed the "Heluo Trial" gathered at the foot of Zixia Peak.
A guide Taoist priest, wearing a blue robe and carrying a talisman sword, said to the disciples: "Today is the day for you to climb Zixia Peak, everyone needs to go up on foot, every three steps and one bow, heaven rewards diligence, gold and stone are open, you will wait for you above." The mountain roads are rough, so be careful on the road. ”
After speaking, he raised the talisman sword in his hand, and a yellow light rushed to the sky.
The disciples who passed the trial lined up in turn, and the leader was Wu Ziyue, who counted the number of people, and took a look at Li Yiming, who was at the end of the line, and then lined up and walked towards Zixia Peak.
Wu Ziyue has been here for so many years, and she knows all kinds of rituals well, and she is finally able to climb Zixia Peak justifiably. This will allow him to rely on his own understanding to point fingers at the people behind him, and when he goes up, he can only be a small minion, ready to listen to the instructions of others at any time.
This kind of prayer ceremony requires humility, in order to tell these disciples that no matter how far they have cultivated in the future, they must remember the state of mind of the first step, and rise step by step, bow and worship. Li Yiming, who was at the end of the line, followed the people in front of him, like ants, and slowly climbed up.
"Hey, I said this junior brother, the five-colored golden lotus you summoned yesterday can be described as stunning to the audience." The questioner was a white-faced scholar-like disciple. After finishing speaking, take three steps and knock on the fairy mountain.
"One, two, three, kowtow." Li Yiming thought silently in his heart, and did not hear the disciple's question.
The white-faced scholar took three more steps, kowtowed, and saw that Li Yiming didn't answer, so he asked again: "Senior brother, junior brother." ”
Li Yiming reacted at this time, and after counting three steps, he replied, "Oh, is Senior Brother talking to me?" ”
The white-faced scholar took three more steps, kowtowing and saying, "That's right, you're talking to your junior brother, I said that the five-colored golden lotus you summoned can be described as stunning to the audience." The scholar repeated the previous question, and then bowed to the fairy mountain.
Li Yiming stepped three steps, knocked, and said, "Senior brother has said it, I don't know how to do it myself." "Count over and over again, kowtow while talking, and if you don't master the rhythm well, you will make a mistake.
In the beginning of the road, the disciples walked and kowtowed, and they were relatively consistent, but after walking for a while, there were fast and slow, and they didn't look so neat. Those with good physical strength want to board it as soon as possible, and those with poor physical strength take a few steps to take a break, pulling the team to a sparse and intermittent stretch.
"Senior brother is still modest. In this first half a month, such an achievement can be achieved, and I can't wait for it. The white-faced scholar praised Li Yiming.
Li Yiming was thinking about how to answer, but he forgot that he had taken a few steps, and froze in place, touching his head.
"Senior brother, there is still one step left." The white-faced scholar said.
"Oh." Li Yiming took a step forward, knocked down, and replied: "To be honest, I'm just lucky." Li Yiming changed the topic and asked, "How long has Senior Brother been practicing?" ”
"Hey, me, it's been a year, and it's just a little sunflower." After finishing speaking, he looked at the female disciple in front of him and said, "Senior sister, hurry up." ”
The female disciple, who was resting in front of the wind, looked at the gradually pulling team, but she didn't panic at all, looked down at the last two, rolled her eyes and said, "Okay, I know." After saying that, he wanted to walk forward, but his steps were staggering and struggling.
When it was, it was the fat female disciple Xin Baozhu, no wonder she couldn't go fast. The white-faced scholar winked at Li Yiming, expressing his helplessness.
Li Yiming thought to himself: "One year, although it is a sunflower, this is also a very powerful character." If he hadn't eaten so many Qi Cultivation Pills, he might not have been able to achieve it in three years. He also greeted: "Luck, I'm really lucky." ”
"Alas, a word of luck. The younger brother is really a god. After saying that, look at the scenery below.
Li Yiming saw that he was not leaving, and also looked down. Standing at this angle, Luoyunjian and even the entire Changsu City can be seen at a glance, the streets and alleys are crowded; There are many shops, and they are busy. The deep-locked palace at the end of the main street, with red walls and yellow roofs, must also be extremely noble.
"Senior brother, look, this is a great river and mountain, but the waves are magnificent." The scholar asked.
Li Yiming didn't have the ink in his stomach, but he was also shocked by this scene, and he couldn't think of a word to describe it after thinking about it for a long time, so he said two words by the way.
"Good, great!"
The scholar had never heard such a dialect, and he was expected to be not a local, but from the literal meaning, it seemed to be a bit apt to describe it.
"Oh, junior brother, what a good word. Classic, incisive. ”
After complimenting, he took out a pen and paper from his arms, touched the tip of the brush with his mouth, recorded the word "good praise", and added some notes that he understood.
Li Yiming didn't know why, and asked, "Senior brother, what are you?" ”
"Senior brother, you don't know, this is my habit since I was a child, as long as I hear or think of some good words and sentences, I will record them and keep them for some classics in the future." The scholar explained.
It turned out to be a person who reads, no wonder the book is bookish. Li Yiming was fortunate to have read a few books for a few years and knew a few words, and the word "good praise" just now was just casually spoken, and he didn't think about it carefully, and he didn't expect to be said to be a classic by this white-faced scholar.
"Senior brother, my name is Li Yiming, and I hope to take care of me in the future."
"Oh, just patronizing and talking, I actually forgot to report myself, disrespectful and disrespectful. My surname is Bai, and my single name is a handsome character. ”
White and handsome, white-faced scholar, it is quite appropriate, Li Yiming gave a salute and said, "I have seen Senior Brother Bai." ”
Bai Jun returned the salute and said, "I've seen Senior Brother Li." ”
"The two of you can't leave yet, a senior brother before a senior brother, it's really numb." Xin Baozhu said in front.
As soon as the two of them looked, they were already seven or eight steps away from Senior Sister Baozhu in front, so they also put away those greetings and walked up, at least they couldn't be pulled too far by Xin Baozhu.
After walking up for a while, Bai Jun asked, "I wonder which one the junior brother will choose to specialize in?" ”
Since he entered the school, he never thought that he could come here so quickly, and no one has ever told him what he has to specialize in, and naturally he doesn't know how to choose.
"Oh, Senior Brother Li may not know yet, there are six halls on Zixia Peak, which are the Spirit Rune Hall, which specializes in the art of charms; Yujian Hall, with the air of the sword, open the mountain and split the stone; Ba Ti Tang, pay attention to physical cultivation, and become steel. Baicaotang, nourishing medicine and alchemy, improving cultivation; Astrology Hall, divination opportunity, Kaiyuan prosperous era; Hehuan Hall, male and female double cultivation, boundless exercises. Among them, only the Astrology Hall and the Hehuan Hall do not recruit disciples, and we can choose the other halls freely. ”
Listening to Bai Jun's words, Li Yiming was a little stunned at first, and then began to blame Ziyue in his heart, blaming him for never telling him about it. But he can't blame Ren Ziyue, he didn't think that Yiming could pass the trial at all.
Li Yiming asked, "Senior Brother Bai, what kind of hall do you choose?" ”
Bai Jun just replied, and Xin Baozhu preemptively said: "I want to choose the Bati Hall?" ”
Bai Jun and Li Yiming were stunned at first, and then burst out laughing, almost laughing out of a goose. Bai Jun felt that he was a little out of shape, and said seriously: "Senior sister's physique, it is naturally excellent to choose the hegemony of the sports hall. As for me, I plan to choose the Spirit Rune Hall, draw runes and spells, and keep plowing. ”
Speaking of this, Bai Jun became interested, and chanted below: "I have a stroke, which is remarkable, the spring evening and summer are late, I watch from afar." ”
Li Yiming and Xin Baozhu heard Bai Jun chanting poetry there, goosebumps fell to the ground, Baozhu rolled his eyes, and replied: "Sour." He didn't want to say a word more, and walked on.
But Bai Jun was not embarrassed at all, and replied: "Senior sister praised it falsely, hehe." ”
In addition to being sour, this Bai Jun is also very thick-skinned, and Baozhu wants to scold him a few more words, but he really can't find the words for a while. Bai Jun is a bit like a dog. It's just that the dog is full of meat, far from the text and ink in Bai Jun's belly.
The two senior brothers and sisters who walked in front had already set their own halls. When I arrived at Li Yiming, I had no idea. However, what I heard from Bai Jun before, I also knew a little bit about it.
Li Yiming asked, "The senior brother who took us before is the one who is not the one from the Imperial Sword Hall, is he from the Imperial Sword Hall?"
Bai Jun replied: "Presumably so, but it doesn't have to be a sword cultivator to fly, senior sister, do you say it?" ”
Xin Baozhu glanced back and explained: "That's natural, if it's powerful, you can fly with a brick, I don't like those who carry swords, what's the difference between holding a kitchen knife?" The murderous aura is too heavy. ”
Although Baozhu's explanation is a little inappropriate, it is really like that when you think about it. After Bai Jun heard it, he also felt the same way, and said: "Yes, Senior Sister is right, it's not fun to carry a sword all day long, or the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting look elegant." ”
"Isn't it, junior brother, are you going to choose the Imperial Sword Hall?" Bai Jun asked.
"It's not clear, let me think about it again."
"In my opinion, you can practice medicine, you have no quarrel with the world, and you can be used endlessly."
Baozhu said, that clever mouth, fast tongue.
