Time has come to the month of Layue in a flash, the countryside has a strong New Year's flavor, and there are no old farmers farming between the fields, and the official roads and rivers can be seen everywhere returning home.

Squeaky ......

On the north side of Jiangzhou, under the majestic mountains across the two states, a horse-drawn carriage walked through the loess road and gradually came to the peaks of Yuxu Mountain.

The night terror sat in the carriage, looking up at the snowy top of the mountain, and the birds crouched beside them, staring at the passing mules and horses, and cooing softly, presumably asking why there were no camels......

Night Terror Hall knew that the bird remembered the previous dart, when he went to the sandbank and passed the snowy mountain, at that time, as long as he passed the Yakou Snow Mountain, he arrived at the sandbank, and the dart master team ran all the way, usually stopping to eat a meal of Shazhou's special roasted hump, and the bird can be said to be looking forward to that bite for a year.

Yuxu Mountain is a place for Taoist cultivation, and it does not produce camels, so it must not be able to eat, and after the night terror hall raised his hand and rubbed the birds and birds for comfort, he looked back at the carriage.

Starting from Jiangzhou City, because it is not in a hurry to travel, it is natural to go fast, basically it is dark to find a place to rest, and occasionally go to the famous scenic spots in Jiangzhou to see, hundreds of miles of road is hard to walk for several days.

Although I have seen enough scenery on the road, it is often said that the three girls have no milk to eat, and there is not much to say if you want to talk in detail, but you can't see what you can eat.

At this time, in the carriage, the Queen Mother was bored sitting in the car, and she had fallen asleep on the red jade lap.

Shui Er sat on the other side, holding a copy of "The Secret History of Cleopatra" and reading it, and it was quite fascinating.

Night Terror Hall looked at Shui'er's expression, and knew that he was looking at something shy, and teased:

"What are you looking at? The face was red. ”

Crash~

Hearing this, Xuanji Zhenren quickly closed the book, first glanced at Huai Yan who was sleeping opposite, and then put the book aside casually:

"Don't ask children about adults."

“……”

Night Terror felt that the water was a little floating, and he needed to be educated with a stick, but it was not easy to teach the family law on the road, so he didn't say much, smiled and continued to drive.

Xuanji Zhenren lifted the curtain, looked at the mountains under the winter sun, and after seeing the familiar scenery, he said:

"Two miles further on, go up from the fork, is Qingping Peak, where is the teacher's cave. If you go to the main peak, there are still ten miles to go......"

"yes......"

When I first arrived, I listened to Shui'er's narration and looked at the various landscapes around Yuxu Mountain.

Yuxu Mountain is not a mountain, but a mountainous area within a radius of more than 100 miles, the Yuxu Temple is on the main peak in the center, and the Taoist priests who practice here are distributed between the mountains and fields, there are more than a dozen large and small Taoist temples, among which there are also many Jianghu guests who live in seclusion here.

Shui'er is the little uncle of Yuxu Mountain, and he was accepted as an apprentice by Lu Taiqing's Qing Dynasty, and his seniority is considered to be the top level in Yuxu Mountain, and even some fifty or sixty-year-old Taoist elders have to be called uncles. And the place of cultivation is also very arrogant, directly occupies the entire Qingping Peak, she lives alone, the mountain is full of bamboo forests, the Taoist temple is hidden between the bamboo forests, and it looks like a place where the gods live from a distance.

Although Shui'er said to the outside world that he was cultivating on the mountain all the year round, he actually traveled in private to Tiannan and Haibei, looking for the Minglong map for the empress, and there was very little time to go back and forth to Yuxu Mountain in the past ten years.

As the carriage passed through Qingping Peak, the Taoist temple in the bamboo forest in the middle of the mountain came into view, and Shui'er's face obviously felt a little more alienated, and even the demonic look in the past was restrained, and it looked like a fairy who went to the mountain to wave a circle, and returned to the mountain again.

The Queen Mother was originally on a lunch break, because the road behind the mountain was not very good, she was woken up under the bumps, got up and lay on the window with sleepy eyes, and looked at the bamboo forest halfway up the mountainside:

"Huh? Got to the place? ”

"Uh-huh."

Xuanji Zhenren got up and leaned in front of him, raising his hand to point to a crooked-necked tree on the top of Qingping Peak:

"I remember when you first came to Yuxu Mountain, you had to climb to the top of that tree, but you still refused to come down, which scared Mrs. Zhao and her senior brother into fear, so they almost called their aunt and grandmother......

？

When the Queen Mother came to Yuxu Mountain, she was at the age of lawlessness, and she did a lot of trouble. At this time, when she was mentioned by Shui'er, her slightly sleepy expression was obviously stiff, probably afraid of night terrors, so she hurriedly frowned and said:

"When you were a child, you were just ignorant, what are you talking about at this time? You used to go to the waterhole behind the mountain to take a wild bath......"

Xuanji Zhenren has a wild personality since he was a child, so he naturally doesn't blush about this kind of thing, and he also sent out an invitation with great interest;

"This is called getting close to heaven and earth, and it is the method of cultivation. I didn't wash up well all the way, should I go to bubbles later? ”

"What am I soaking, I have to go to the main peak to go by myself, I will go to the main peak to incense."

"Then wash it after the incense?"

"Well, I'll talk about it when the time comes......"

……

Night Terror Hall sat outside the carriage and listened, although after the tiring journey, he also wanted to take a picnic to relax, but the two inside obviously would not agree to accompany him to wash, so they didn't interject.

As the carriage drove past Qingping Peak, the towering Yuxu Peak appeared at the end of the field of vision, and the jagged buildings above loomed, and the golden top of the mountain could be seen, and there were tourists coming and going on the stone road of the mountain.

It has entered the wax moon, and there are naturally many people who come to pray for blessings in Yuxu Mountain, a famous Taoist mountain.

When they walked out of the mountain road and merged into the avenue to the main peak, there were gradually more pedestrians on the road, including ladies and ladies from large families, as well as ordinary people dressed plainly.

The Queen Mother came as an ordinary person, naturally did not report her home, let the Taoist of Yuxu Mountain come to greet her, and after the carriage arrived at the small town at the foot of Yuxu Mountain, the four of them stopped the carriage and walked up the mountain.

Although the Queen Mother looks weak, but the door is born, there is a kung fu foundation, in recent months afraid of dragging the night terrors, in private is also studying hard, climbing a mountain is not difficult, the road is still set up stalls of the hawkers, bought some peace cards, peace charms and other souvenirs.

Night terror hall rarely goes to Taoist temples to burn incense and worship Buddha, carrying birds and birds to walk, and paying attention mainly to the people in the rivers and lakes in the past.

Yuxu Mountain is the most famous Taoist temple among the people, and in the hearts of the people of the rivers and lakes, it is the three holy places of the Great Wei Dynasty that are as famous as the Thousand Buddha Temple and the official city.

Ordinary Jianghu forces still take the kicking hall, and a place like Yuxu Mountain must not be able to kick it, and most of the Jianghu people come here to find high-level people to enlighten and guide.

Of course, there is no shortage of people from the rivers and lakes, who come here for further study, and when they go up the mountain, they can sometimes see the grass houses among the barren mountains and mountains, as well as the rivers and lakes meditating on the cliffs and lonely rocks.

Seeing this, the Night Terror Hall said curiously:

"Yuxu Mountain still teaches people martial arts?"

Shui'er returned to the mountain, probably for fear of being recognized, and made a hat to wear on her head, walked behind the Queen Mother, and explained:

"Cultivating together, cultivating the mind is the top, and cultivating the strength is the bottom. Ordinary martial artists have to experience too many ups and downs in their lives, and they are not subject to the law, and they will fall into the devil's path if they are not careful, and only a martial artist with a strong mind can go to the end.

"Yuxu Mountain doesn't teach martial arts, but a few senior brothers on the mountain still have the ability to persuade people to be kind and give guidance, so there are naturally many people who come to visit, but not everyone can understand.

"I remember that in the previous dynasty, there was a Xiucai named Wu Shengxi, who failed the imperial examination every year, and came to Yuxu Mountain to live for a period of time, and found a Taoist chief at that time to enlighten him, and the Taoist chief warned him to 'lead to all evil and fornication', restrain desires and purify his heart, so that he can think of reaching the imperial examination high school. Guess what he said? ”

Wu Shengxi, Wu everyone, is the author of "Tears of a Chivalrous Woman", and the lighthouse in the life of the night terror.

Faced with this problem, Night Terror naturally opened its mouth:

"If I want to quit sex, what do I want to do if I study hard to gain fame?"

Xuanji Zhenren bowed slightly, and his eyes were approving:

"You kid finally admit his heart?"

？

Night Terror stood a few points straighter, his eyes helpless:

"I just repeated the words of Wu everyone, and I didn't say anything about myself. Wu everyone wrote this paragraph into the book, and in the end, it seemed that the old Taoist blew his beard and glared, and drove him out of Yuxu Mountain, he was unhappy, so he entered the rivers and lakes, and hooked up with a Taoist aunt away......"

Xuanji Zhenren saw that the night terror hall was like a few treasures, and even admired Wu Shengxie a little bit between the lines, and his eyes showed three points of coldness:

"He is a sour scholar, how can he have the ability to hook up with the woman of my Yuxu Mountain, but he was kicked out of the house, and he had no choice but to write a book to slander Yuxu Mountain. Chivalrous tears are forbidden books in Yuxu Mountain, you had better restrain yourself, if the senior brothers find out that you are carrying this thing, you will have to break your legs. ”

Night Terror Hall came to Yuxu Mountain, and it did have the meaning of visiting the various scenic spots written on the tears of the heroine, just like the Queen Mother went to visit Hongfeng Lake.

But he didn't have the book with him, after all, he memorized it like a stream, and he didn't need to carry it at all.

Hearing Shui'er say this, Night Terror opened his arms calmly:

"It's good to be elegant in my spare time, how can I carry that kind of forbidden book with me all day long......"

"Hmph~......"

……

The Queen Mother was helped by Hongyu to walk in front, and when she heard Shui Er training in the night terror, she was a little protective of her husband, and turned back and said:

"You still talk about him, don't you also hold those messy books all day long."

Xuanji Zhenren responded to this: "This Tao is wine-colored through the intestines, and the Dao ancestor stays in his heart. He has been wine-colored through the intestines, and he has eaten the bowl and looked at the pot, which is different. ”

"Huh?"

The bird ran all the way, and he was almost hungry, and when he heard the words, he raised his head and looked left and right, which should mean - what to eat? Where is the pot?

The four people and one bird talked and laughed like this, went up the mountain in the afternoon, and waited until the sunset on the west mountain, and then walked to the top of the mountain outside the jade void.

At this time, the clouds have reached the feet, and when you raise your eyes, you can see the sea of clouds against the background of the setting sun, and the scene is quite magnificent.

Xuanji Zhenren is the uncle of Yuxu Mountain after all, no matter how tightly he covers it, as soon as he shows up outside the Taoist temple, he is still recognized by the Taoist priest of Yuxuguan, and hurriedly stepped forward to greet him:

"Uncle Lu, why are you ......?"

"Come back and take a look, you don't need to alarm a few senior brothers, just busy yourself."

"Oh yes......"

After Xuanji Zhenren told the juniors in the temple not to make a big fuss, he took the Queen Mother into the Taoist temple and arrived outside the Golden Palace through the corridor.

Although Xuanji Zhenren has always been cynical and has violated all the precepts, but when he really came to the front of the ancestral master, he still didn't dare to be too presumptuous, stopped outside the Golden Palace, and turned around:

"I'll take the Queen Mother in to burn incense, you can get some food for the bird first, and I'll come back later."

Night Terror Hall and Shui Shui rolled the sheets, and ran to burn incense in front of the ancestor of the Daomen together, which was indeed a bit arrogant, and he did not have the habit of burning incense and worshipping the Buddha, so he didn't say much at the moment, took out the jerky he brought with him, and took the birds and birds to sightseeing in the Great Avenue Pavilion......

——

The sun sets in the west, and the mountain breeze is gentle.

At dusk, the people who came to the main peak to incense gradually dispersed, only two small Taoist children could be seen outside the hall, sweeping the floor on the side steps, there was a big incense burner on the stone in front of the door, and there was little green smoke inside.

The Night Terror Hall turned around outside the Golden Palace, and did not find any special scenery, seeing that Shui'er and the Queen Mother could not finish burning incense in a short time, they walked back along the trail again, looking for various scenic spots that they had seen in the book.

Wu Shengxie did stay in Yuxu Mountain back then, and for this reason, the scenery of Yuxu was depicted very accurately, even the small forks, roadside wells, etc., are no different from the field, but a hundred years have passed, and some flowers and trees have still changed.

The bird is very psychic, and when he saw that the passers-by were very quiet, he knew that this place was not allowed to make trouble, and he stood honestly on his shoulder and looked east and west, and cooed softly, according to the pondering of the night terror, he should be muttering:

Don't dare to raise your voice, for fear of frightening the birds in the sky......

A person and a bird wandered around for a while, and gradually came to the back mountain of the Jade Void Temple, and in front of it was the daily living place of the Taoist priests.

Seeing this, Night Terror wanted to stop and turn back, but looking at the lush back mountain, he faintly heard some sounds from the depths of the mountain forest:

Trample...... Treading ......

Although the distance was extremely far away and the sound was subtle, Night Terror Hall could still hear the walking Jiugong steps through the rhythm of his steps, and the force was uneven, sounding like a child who weighed no more than 100.

As a martial artist, Night Terror Hall was naturally curious about the scene of practicing martial arts, looked left and right, and saw that there was no writing around 'tourists do not enter', so he made a wandering appearance, walked into the mountain path, and came to the back mountain in a bamboo sea.

The scale of the bamboo sea is very large, even in the cold winter, the mountains are still green from the outside.

Hanging on his back, he carried the birds into the bamboo forest, and within a few moments he came to a waterhole in the depths of the bamboo forest. The sound of Jiugongbu came from the side of the pool.

Looking at the night terror hall from afar, you can see a waterhole with a radius of several zhang, which is inserted with eighteen plum blossom piles, and a bamboo frame is set up on it.

More than 100 bamboo leaves are hung with filaments on the bamboo frame, because there is no mountain wind, and the vertical hanging is as if it is stationary.

And an eight- or nine-year-old Taoist boy in a Taoist robe, sweating profusely, jumping around on the plum blossom pile, although the nine palace steps are not stable, but the age here is already considered talented, and the night terrors are surprised.

Although the dance was very good, after each jump, Xiao Daotong landed on the edge of the waterhole and looked back, not showing joy or pride, but a little frustrated.

Night Terror stood at a distance and watched for a moment, but without much understanding, he walked slowly to him and beckoned:

"The trail chief is practicing the Nine Palace Steps?"

Although Xiao Daotong was only eight or nine years old, he seemed to be very well educated, and when he found that an outsider was coming, he stopped and saluted:

"Yes, the hero has good eyesight, I just learned it for a short time, and it makes the hero smile."

"I'm not a hero, I'm just an ordinary martial artist, just don't dislike the big brother of the night."

Night Terror came to the waterhole, looked at the plum blossom pile and bamboo leaves, and wondered:

"I've also learned the steps of the Jiugong Trail Leader just now, and it's solid among adults, why are you still not satisfied every time you jump? How ready are you to practice? ”

The little Taoist looked left and right, and seeing that the master was not there, he was also a little curious about the big white bird, so he walked up to him and looked:

"Master said that only after practicing and walking back and forth, and the bamboo leaves hanging on it do not move, can it be considered learning. Originally, I was able to barely walk through it, but yesterday Master suddenly added eighteen bamboo leaves to one hundred and eight, and I felt that it was impossible for me to walk through it in my life......"

The Night Terror Hall was just watching, knowing that these bamboo leaves were to correct the body.

Jiugong step is considered to be one of the top body methods, practice to the fullest, can do the pace of virtual and real, unpredictable, the opponent can not understand the intention at all, naturally can not touch the corner of the clothes.

But as long as the body moves, it will interfere with the outside world and produce fluctuations, and if you put it above the grandmaster, no matter how ghostly the pace is, there are not enough details, and it is difficult to hide your intentions.

And if you can practice to the plum blossom pile and pass through, the hanging leaves are as quiet as stagnant water, and the body is naturally the same as a ghost.

Seeing this little Taoist boy in the Night Terror Hall, he had already been a little broken by this difficulty, and encouraged:

"Don't say these frustrating words, your master has made it difficult for you, just because I think you have grown. In my opinion, if the eighteen bamboo leaves do not move, at most he is a master of body skills; And one hundred and eight bamboo leaves do not move, you can go out of the mountain directly, you can practice to this point at a young age, and if you practice for another ten years, there will definitely be no problem in the past. ”

When Xiao Daotong heard this, he hurriedly shook his head and said:

"How can it be possible to practice in ten years, I feel that this thing, Master himself can't go through it."

"What the master teaches is only the method of becoming a talent, it's normal that you can't do it yourself, if the master must be stronger than the apprentice, isn't this Jianghu weaker from generation to generation?"

Night Terror said this, wanting to show the little Taoist boy, so he handed the bird to him, and then jumped into the plum blossom pile in the waterhole with a light tiptoe.

Xiao Daotong obviously often sees masters, and when he sees the silent body of the night terror hall, his eyes are bright, and he stands by the waterhole with the bird in his arms, looking at it with all his attention.

Night Terror Hall has practiced martial arts so far, and the body method is still called upward and smooth, stepping on the plum blossom pile This basic teaching, you don't need to see with your eyes, with the number of nine palace steps, neatly jumped over five wooden stakes.

Stomp ......

But when he walked to the middle, his figure suddenly paused, and his expression was also condensed.

Seeing this, the bird looked at a bamboo leaf hanging from the waterhole, and said mockingly:

"Twitter!"

Xiao Daotong also showed a look of 'sure enough', and said:

"Look, I'll just say it's impossible to walk over, this thing is comparable to the Zhuxian Array, not something that mortals can walk."

Night Terror Hall did notice that something was wrong, and the originally breezy eyes had a touch of solemnity.

He looked back at the bamboo leaves that were swaying slightly, thought about it and returned to the shore, took the saber and sword at his waist, took off the hat and robe that were slightly in the way, and wore only a close-fitting black suit, and then flew up again and landed on the plum blossom stake.

Stomp ......

This time it was stronger than the last time, but it wasn't much stronger, and it stopped after walking seven steps.

Seeing this, the little Taoist priest praised: "Brother Ye is already very powerful, and a few senior brothers in the hall can't get out of a single step." ”

Night Terror Hall naturally knew that the apprentice in the hall couldn't get out of a single step, after all, he, the second of the eight kings, had only walked out seven steps and eleven wooden stakes.

Night Terror Hall stood in the three-zhang pool, looking at the bamboo leaves hanging around, although it was only two attempts, he realized that this thing was from the hands of a master, and it was by no means used to test a child, and the test seemed to be a bit overstepping.

Eighteen plum blossom piles below, eighteen bamboo leaves above, can only be regarded as the difficulty of entry, as long as you pay attention to the strength of the body breath, you can easily pass through.

But when you add one hundred and eight bamboo leaves, the effect is different.

The number has increased sixfold or second, the position and height of each bamboo leaf are obviously interlocking, as small as breathing, and as large as the leakage of energy, it will drive a certain bamboo leaf, almost counting all aspects inside and outside the martial arts, this is not something that the grandmaster can touch, and Wu Kui has to be confused.

Night Terror thought that he had reached the peak of his control over his qi, but after walking twice, he found that there were problems with his body, breath, and pace, and no matter how he paid attention, there would be mistakes in unexpected places, bringing subtle waves and pulling a bamboo leaf.

In his opinion, only when this thing reaches the state of a martial saint that lifts weights lightly, is consistent inside and outside, and has flawless control of body and strength, can it pass through without waves.

Thinking of this, Night Terror's eyes became solemn, and he fell back to the edge of the pool again, and asked;

"Dare to ask who the Venerable Master is?"

Xiao Daotong shook his head and said: "The family teacher travels all the year round, and the road number is inconvenient to disclose, so please forgive me." ”

Although the little Taoist priest didn't say it explicitly, Night Terror Hall could still roughly guess the identity of his master.

After all, the rivers and lakes are so big, Xuanji Zhenren is already very powerful, if there is still a Taoist priest in Yuxu Mountain who can make him difficult, then except for Lu Taiqing, one of the three immortals, the national teacher, he can't think of anyone else at all.

Night Terror Hall has grown up since he was a child, basically listening to the names of the three immortals on the mountain, even if he has now reached the top three of the Eight Kui, he still has respect for this Taoist sect, especially now, Shui'er and him have finally become married, and Lu Taiqing has become his cheap brother-in-law......

Night Terror Hall sensed that the situation was not quite right, looked left and right a few times, and asked:

"Your master can be here?"

"Master has always seen the beginning and not the tail of the dragon, drinking tea in the temple in the morning, and may have arrived at the border in the afternoon, I don't know where it is."

The little Taoist priest jumped all day, and he was about to jump out of strength, and when he saw that the night terror hall was very interested in the plum blossom pile, he said boldly:

"I have to go back to eat, Brother Ye is interested in practicing here, but don't knock down the bamboo frame, otherwise the master will definitely beat me when he comes back."

Seeing that the little Taoist priest didn't know where he was going, it was not easy to get to the bottom of it, so he said with a smile:

"I'll try to practice again, if your master comes back, I hope to be able to report it, I'll go and see you."

"Okay."

Xiao Daotong looked hungry, didn't stay long, turned around and walked towards Yuxuguan, and raised his hand to greet:

"Giggles~ go to dinner."

"Tss

When the bird heard the meal, he originally wanted to rub his head over for a meal, but when he heard the tone of calling the chicken, his backbone suddenly came up again, and he jumped back and stood in front of the night terror hall and ignored it.

Night Terror Hall shook his head and smiled, signaling that he was not polite, and after seeing the little Taoist boy leave, he calmed down and jumped on the plum blossom pile again......
