Chapter 152, Ruochen is in charge

Qingshi walked out of Lingyun Pavilion, slowly walked along the stone staircase, a huge Immortal Sword Sect, the buildings are magnificent and exquisite, and there are hundreds of them, but there are only more than a hundred people in the sect.

At this time, most of the disciples went to the Qizhi Hall to listen to the lectures, so Qingshi almost didn't see a few people along the way, in fact, in addition to more than a hundred children of the Immortal Sword Sect, there were more than 200 servants on the top of this Juhua, but they generally didn't dare to go around, and most of them did their own affairs everywhere, so Qingshi rarely saw them.

Only a few servants in charge of sprinkling and sweeping were scattered between the roads, and when they saw Qingshi coming, they all hurriedly stood aside, and did not continue to work until Qingshi walked far away.

Qingshi originally wanted to go to the main palace of the three entrances and four layers to have a look, but remembered that the Qizhi Hall must also be one of the four main halls, so he didn't want to bother, so he came to the three stone archways.

Yesterday in a hurry, Qingshi did not have time to take a closer look at the archway carving, now it is natural to take a good look.

Qingshi remembers that the four words "kendo origin" on the last gatehouse have the most sword rhyme, but he is not in a hurry to see it first, but first looks at the outermost gatehouse, these gatehouses only have the words engraved on the lintel, but there is no couplet on the doorpost.

The first gatehouse is engraved with the three big characters of 'Fairy Sword Sect', the font is clumsy, obviously the years are extremely long, and I don't know who wrote it.

Qingshi looked at it for a while, and found that although the words were good, there seemed to be no hidden meaning of the sword, so he went to look at the second gatehouse.

The words on the lintel of this gatehouse are 'a sword flying fairy', bluestone was attracted at a glance, these four words are elegantly dusty, you can imagine a chic and elegant swordsman when you look at the words, and depict the scene of these four big characters with a sword as a pen. The word is like its person, and the word is like its sword, Qingshi stopped for at least two hours, carefully experienced the sword intent contained in the words, it seemed to be quite touching, but could not fully comprehend.

Finally, Qingshi came to the third stone archway, looked up at the four big characters of 'the origin of the sword', these four words into the stone is very deep, obviously also engraved with the sword as the pen, the font is clumsy, calm and atmospheric, and the sword intent revealed between the lines is very strong.

Qingshi felt the artistic conception, but he couldn't grasp it, and after a long time, he finally felt that he felt a trace of charm, but he couldn't bite and chew it, and he swallowed it, but he couldn't digest it.

He really wanted to get the enlightenment of the way of the sword from it immediately, but he knew that this inscription contained the way of the sword, but he couldn't start to use it for his own use, and he couldn't help but feel itchy and unbearable, both happy and sad.

Qingshi looked at these four big characters stupidly, stood for a long time, and finally came back to his senses with a long sigh. But seeing Jian Yi standing quietly aside with a smile, Qingshi smiled and said: "These four big characters obviously contain the meaning of the sword, and they do not hide their artistic conception, but I can't understand it. ”

Jian Yi smiled, and said coldly: "My ancestor Ruohua once said, he studied these four-character stone carvings exhaustively, and he only gained a few points after more than ten years, and the bluestone elder brother is really a genius, and I think it will take an hour or two to make a lot of money from it!" ”

Qingshi was stunned for a moment, knowing that he was in a hurry to achieve quick success, and immediately said: "Ashamed! It's me who is in a hurry for quick success, please give me advice! ”

Jian Yi laughed and said: "Brother Qingshi, don't worry, the so-called ten years of penance, once an epiphany." If you want to attain enlightenment, you must first study hard. I don't have much understanding of this sword carving, if you have the opportunity, you can try to ask Ruochen Master for advice. Let's go, I'll take you to see Ruochen Shizu, Shizu has often been in retreat for more than ten years, and most of the daily affairs of the sect have been handed over to several other stewards and elders, today is the preaching day, Shizu is out of the gate to speak, this year is the first time, I reported to Shizu about your worship of the mountain, I didn't expect Shizu to see you immediately, the face is not small! ”

Qingshi came to the Fairy Sword Sect, naturally to meet the master, so he followed the sword and his party, originally thought that the sword would take him to the three into the four major halls, but unexpectedly the sword took the bluestone around the back of the main hall, climbed up the stone stairs for nearly a hundred steps and came to a blue brick and gray tile bungalow, the bungalow seems to be very ordinary, only a thick wooden door that opens, and there is no decoration of the lintel inscription.

Jian Yi stood in front of the door and bowed down and said, "Master Ancestor, Qingshi is here." ”

Qingshi hurriedly bowed down and said, "Xuanmen disciple Qingshi, come to meet your seniors!" ”

"Bluestone is here! Come on in! A gentle voice rang out.

Jian Yi pushed open half of the wooden door, made a gesture of please, Qingshi Chong Jian bowed slightly, and walked into the door, but Jian Yi did not go in, and gently closed the door and walked away.

Qingshi walked in and found that the room was very spacious, the windows on both sides were wide, the light was abundant and bright, there were no tables and chairs in the room, the furnishings were extremely simple, the floor of solid wood was smooth and clean, and a middle-aged man with an easy-going face sat cross-legged on a large futon and smiled, this is naturally Jian Ruochen, he looks slightly younger than Ou Changzhi, medium stature, ordinary appearance, introverted all over the body, only his eyes are deep and unfathomable. Jian Ruochen placed a wide table in front of him, and there was an empty futon opposite.

Qingshi knelt down on one knee and clasped his fists and saluted: "Qingshi meets the seniors!" ”

Jian Ruochen smiled and said, "Virtuous nephew doesn't need to be polite, please sit down!" ”

Qingshi respectfully took off his shoes and put them on the side of the door, and then came to sit on the futon.

Jian Ruochen looked at Qingshi, looked carefully for a long time before nodding and saying: "The virtuous nephew really has the luck of the atmosphere, in my opinion, the deep luck is still above the virtuous nephew of the four seas, and what is even more rare is that you are good at the root and wisdom of the roots!" Very good! Very good! By the way, he's pretty handsome, hahaha......"

Qingshi knows this thing of luck, but he doesn't understand what it is, and he doesn't know how these masters see that luck is added, and as for the good roots and wisdom roots, they don't know much about it. Hearing Jian Ruochen say this, he had to say: "The predecessor praised it falsely!" ”

Jian Ruochen asked a few more words about the experience of Qingshi going up the mountain, the situation of learning with the disciples of the laughing word generation, etc., Qingshi answered one by one, feeling that this Ruochen ancestor is very concerned about himself, his words are kind, his attitude is kind, his eyes are gentle and full of love, Qingshi feels as if it is the eyes of Master Ou Changzhi, the meaning of love comes from the heart, it is fully revealed, it is impossible to fake it at all, Qingshi can't help but feel warm in his heart, but he is a little surprised.

Jian Ruochen changed the topic and said, "Do you know my relationship with your master?" ”

"The family master only said that he was originally a disciple of the Immortal Sword Sect, and he didn't mention anything else." Qingshi said, "Yesterday, I heard the first brother of the sword talk about it, and I knew that the family teacher was originally the senior brother of the senior, right?" ”

"Yes," Jian Ruochen said, "but your knowledge is very limited. Your master and I are not as simple as ordinary brothers. ”

Ou Changzhi never told Qingshi about the things in the Immortal Sword Sect in the past, and Qingshi didn't know if there were any taboos in it, so it was not easy to ask.

Jian Ruochen picked up the teacups on a few tables, made a gesture towards Qingshi, took a sip of his own, put down the cup and said slowly: "Back then, there were sixty-one disciples of the Ruozi generation, but there were only two disciples under the head of the sect of Master Guangming, that is, your master and me!" ”

"Ahh Qingshi sighed slightly, and secretly said that the master and the head of Ruochen were so close.

Jian Ruochen continued: "Your master's name is Ruoshi, I was still young when I started, Senior Brother Ruoshi was twenty-six years older than me, he loved me very much, not only did he never allow other senior brothers to bully me, but also pointed out to me on the way of the sword, I can be regarded as half a teacher, the two of us are like brothers, I and Senior Brother Ruoshi are closer than my own brothers!" ”

When Qingshi heard this, he knew that this was true when he saw his demeanor, so he immediately got up and knelt down on his knees and bowed again: "Uncle Shi is above, please be worshiped by my nephew again." ”

Jian Ruochen said: "Okay! I told you this, just to hear you call Uncle Shi, don't call your seniors so raw. After speaking, he touched his chin and long beard and smiled, looking very pleased.

"Yes, Uncle Shi!" Bluestone exclaimed.

"Hmmm! It's okay for us to call it that privately, and that's great! Jian Ruochen smiled with satisfaction, "You can go up to Juhuading, with strength, my Immortal Sword Sect's eight victories, except for the 'Sword Blade Immortal Trace', you can casually visit and understand, after reading the seven great victories, I will arrange an immortal test for you to see if you have the fate to see the 'Sword Peak Immortal Trace'." ”

"Yes!" Qingshi said excitedly, "I have already seen three of these eight victories. ”

"Well, which three?"

"One is the stone carving of the 'Famous Mountain Immortal Sect' at the mountain gate, the second is the sword mark remains of Yubei Peak, and the stone carving on the three gatehouses outside."

"Oh, these three victories are called 'Famous Mountain Immortal Sect', 'Fishback Sword Marks' and 'Huading Sword Carving'."

"Yes, the little nephew has seen these three victories, and he has some insights and gains, but I don't know what the other places are like?"

"The three places you have seen, plus the 'Sword Edge Immortal Traces', these four are the kendo victories left by the predecessors of our sect, of course, there are many such relics, but their kendo rhyme is much worse than these four places. These four places are cultural attractions. There are also four places that refer to the four natural scenery within the range of Sword Mountain, so let's go back and let Kenyi accompany you to see them. ”

"Yes, thank you, uncle!"

......

After talking at Jian Ruochen's place for an hour, Qingshi said goodbye, but saw Jian Yi sitting cross-legged on a big stone waiting for him.

Qingshi walked over and said, "Brother Lao Jian has been waiting for a long time. ”

Jian said with a smile: "Why be polite about trivial matters, let's go, the ancestor ordered me to accompany you to visit the remaining few victories." ”

Qingshi knew that Jian Ruochen had already instructed Jian Yi in what way of communication, so he no longer said politely: "So please ask Brother Jian Yi to show me around!" ”

The two walked side by side, but Jian Yi first took Qingshi to visit the four major temples of the three entrances and four layers, from the outside to the inside, they were the Welcome Hall, the Enlightenment Hall, the Council Hall and the Patriarch Hall, which were used to welcome, preach, discuss and worship the ancestors of the past generations. The four major halls are magnificent and simple, and the three courtyards in the middle are wide and flat, and the overall structural layout is quite ingenious and extraordinary.

After visiting the temple, Jian Yi took the bluestone to the bottom of Juhuading Mountain, and after walking through the triple stone archway, Jian Yi said: "In fact, the four scenic spots, Brother Qingshi has already seen one." ”

Qingshi asked: "I have seen a lot of beautiful and unique scenery all the way up the mountain, but I don't know where it came from. ”

Jian Yi turned around and smiled: "Look back!" ”

Qingshi turned around, only to see the gatehouse in front of him is clumsy, the buildings in the distance are magnificent, and the fairy sword behind the top of the mountain points to the blue sky abruptly.

Jian Yi said; "Yesterday evening, didn't you see it here? The vision in front of me is called 'Sword Sect Sunset'. ”

Qingshi recalled the scene under the sunset yesterday, and it was indeed an excellent scenery with thousands of weather, and immediately nodded in approval.

Next, Jianyi took the bluestone to see the other three scenic spots, these three are not on the mountain road, are in the back mountain, far away from the top of Juhuading, the road is not easy to walk the stone slabs and stone ladders, are the mountain mud and stone paths, the two are not in a hurry, all the way to stop and stop, and walk and see, in fact, there are many scenery in the mountains that can be watched, there are also some stone carvings of the literati swordsmen of the previous generation, bluestone one by one to visit, sometimes the interest comes to play on the ground for a few hours, and from time to time with the sword a drinking sword, these three scenic spots took seven days to read, At night, the two of them do not return to the summit of Juhuading, but only sleep or sit on the top of the ancient pine or on the boulder.

In addition, these three scenic spots are 'Milky Way Flying', but it is a big waterfall that is 100 zhang high, and the momentum is extremely majestic; another scenic spot is called 'Immortal Pointing to the Sky', which is a strange stone lonely peak that looks like two fingers pointing to the sky with two fingers in the food, which is naturally interesting; there is also a 'Lonely Sail in the Sea of Clouds', but it is a lonely peak far away from the surrounding peaks, and it is not very high, the two climb to the top, but they do not see the sea of clouds, and it seems that there is not much special compared with other peaks. Jian Yi said that this sea of clouds is not very common, and it can only be seen in the early morning on a sunny day after the rain. The two waited at the top of the mountain for three days, until the early morning of the fourth day, when Qingshi woke up to find that the sky was slightly bright, and there was a vast sea of clouds around the top of the mountain. The lonely peak is really like a lonely sail in the sea. The mountain is not very high, only protruding the sea of clouds for more than ten zhang, so the top of the mountain is quite close to the sea of clouds, and there are no other peaks around, the line of sight is unobstructed, you can see very far all around, so close to watch the sea of clouds in the mountains, bluestone is also the first experience, extremely shocking.

After a while, a red sun rose from under the eastern clouds, and in an instant the entire sea of clouds was dyed with a layer of golden red, and the golden waves rolled and rushed, which was magnificent.

Qingshi and Jianyi faced the morning sun to enjoy the sea of clouds, feeling the magnificent beauty of this boundless scenery, neither of them spoke but stood quietly, but their hearts were full of emotion.
