Seventy-two peaks of Wudang Mountain, with Tianzhu Peak is the most towering and majestic, look at the past from a distance, between the clouds and mist, you can faintly see a huge pillar towering into the clouds, standing on the peak, legend has it that the world was relying on this huge pillar of heaven to support this The boundless sky, which is why it is named Tianzhu Peak, as for whether it is true or false, there is no way to study, every time the pilgrims come and go, or the literati and ink who come to visit, they will stop and watch from afar, and feel it when they close their eyes, as if they can see clearly the peak pillar that reaches a few days.

This is the highest peak in Wudang that no one has ever climbed, and there is a more widespread saying that it is the immortal dwelling place in Wudang, as for where this statement comes from, it may be caused by those pilgrims who have never seen how it is on Tianzhu Peak.

And only Li Zi, who lives in the bamboo forest all the year round on Wudang Mountain, knows that there is nothing on this Tianzhu Peak except for his master and the old Bai who has not been down the mountain for thirty years as soon as he goes to Wudang, and if there is really something, it is estimated that there are only a few chicken bones.

Zhang Yao looked at the wisp of green smoke faintly floating on Tianzhu Peak with some depression, and sighed softly, thinking that after his little junior brother went down the mountain, his white-feathered chickens would be able to survive somewhat, but who knows, the little junior brother is gone, and this white-feathered chicken is 'missing' more often than when the little junior brother was there, but he was helpless.

Behind him, a young Taoist priest dressed very differently from Wudang Mountain Daoist looked at the not-so-obvious wisp of green smoke with some surprise, and asked, "Daoist Zhang, didn't you say that no one could reach the top of Tianzhu Peak?

Zhang Yao heard the young Taoist priest ask, then swept away his somewhat depressed mood, and said: "Yan Daoyou don't know, no one has reached the top of the saying is just a legend in the world, this Tianzhu Peak was the place where the family teacher cultivated back then, and later the poplar willow climbed the mountain to ask the sword, and it was also in this peak, and it was not as mysterious as the legend of the world. ”

Without saying a word, he asked with a little awe: "Is that where Zhang Zhenren cultivated?"

Zhang Yao nodded with a smile, and hurriedly saluted respectfully towards Tianzhu Peak without saying a word, and said: "Since it is Zhang Zhenren's cultivation place, how dare Xiaodao rush to the peak, Zhang Daochang, Xiaodao heard that the sword immortal Bai Yangliu went up the mountain to ask for the sword, but I don't know who blocked it, Zhang Daochang may have a story or two with Xiaodao?"

Zhang Yao did not refuse, and replied casually: "It is the poor Dao senior brother who is blocking it." ”

Yan Buyu looked at Zhang Yao with some surprise, and saw that he didn't seem to be casually perfunctory, so he continued to ask: "Wang Shouyun, Wang Zhangjiao?" But Xiaodao has never heard of it, Wang Zhang's swordsmanship is outstanding, how can he stop the poplar willow who climbed to the top with a sword back then?"

Zhang Yao didn't feel any surprise at the silent surprise, and smiled lightly: "The senior brother who blocked the poplar willow back then was not with a sword, with the white poplar willow that no one could stop with the kendo attainments back then, even if all the junior brothers of the poor road were added up, I am afraid they could not match his sword. ”

Hearing Zhang Yao's answer without saying a word, it suddenly dawned on him, if he used a sword, the sword attainments of the poplar willow back then were quite terrifying, just the only one who used a sword to climb the peak of martial arts in the past thousand years, it was already beyond people's reach, but I don't know why the poplar willow asked the sword with the Tao, could it be that he didn't know, Wang Shouyun was the pinnacle of Taoism?

Although he was a little puzzled in his heart, he didn't ask in detail, but said to Zhang Yao: "Xiaodao came from Nanshan this time, and the original intention was to ask Wang Zhangjiao about the Taoism, but I only knew before climbing the mountain that Wang Zhangjiao had ascended to the gate of heaven and entered the Tao for nine days, but Xiaodao didn't want to return in vain, so I still want to meet the contemporary master of Wudang, but Zhang Daochang?"

Zhang Yao smiled and shook his head: "The poor Dao Dao is not enough, and he can't be in charge, but he is just the leader of the teaching." ”

Speechless, he wondered: "Why did Daochang Zhang say this? Could it be that Daochang is unwilling to discuss the Tao with Xiaodao? If this king is not Daochang Zhang after he takes charge of the teaching, who will he be? Daoist don't want to frame me?"

Zhang Yao bowed slightly, and said: "I don't ask the order of the Tao, but if the Taoist friend asks the master, then it is really not a poor way, Senior Brother Wang has a word, since him, if the little junior brother returns to the mountain, then the little junior brother is the master of the world, if the little junior brother does not return to the mountain, then Wudang will not be in charge." ”

Yan looked at Zhang Yao a little distractedly, and only came back to his senses after a while: "The little junior brother that the Taoist chief said is not the Li Zi Taoist who accepted the apprentice on behalf of the teacher eighteen years ago?"

Zhang Yao nodded with a smile, and said in surprise without saying a word: "Daoist Li Zi has come down the mountain?"

Didn't Master Zhao say that this junior disciple with the highest rank in Wudang Mountain would not go down the mountain easily? In addition to meeting Wang Zhangjiao, he also wanted to meet this Li Zidao who was rumored to be a god, and it was rumored that this Li Zidao was from the stars in the sky, and it was even said that he was the reincarnation of the white feather Dazhen in Wudang Mountain, so Wang Zhangjiao did not dare to accept him as a disciple, but accepted an apprentice on behalf of the teacher.

I heard that this Li Zidao chief of Wudang Mountain, since the beginning of the mountain, has never learned the Tao, nor has he realized the Tao, but until now, he is still practicing swords, how can he become a Wudang master? Before climbing the mountain, I still thought that I would first consult with Wang Zhangjiao and ask for Taoist teaching, and then go to see what kind of swordsmanship this Li Zidao master, who had practiced swordsmanship for 18 years, had practiced, but now the two have not been settled.

Looking at the sword behind him that had been specially carried all the way from Nanshan, he shook his head silently and asked, "Xiaodao heard that Daoist Li Zi is dedicated to studying swordsmanship, dare to ask Daoist Zhang, what is the immortal Dao of Daoist Li?"

Zhang Yao glanced at the sword behind him, shook his white head, and said, "I have never made a sword." ”

Bai took this sword with him, alas, and said without saying a word: "Then why did Li Zidao go down the mountain? It's not that the people who entered the world in Wudang are either proficient in Taoism, or they are kendo attainments can ascend to the hall...."Suddenly remembered something, and said: "Li Zidao went down the mountain by himself?"

Zhang Yao pointed to the Tianzhu Peak in the distance and said, "The one who went down the mountain with the junior brother is also the poplar willow. ”

Speechless and shocked to look at the wisp of green smoke that had disappeared on Tianzhu Peak, the poplar willow went down the mountain? No, since he went down the mountain, why was there still that wisp of green smoke floating out of Tianzhu Peak? Hurriedly looked at Zhang Yao, but did not see Zhang Yao have any expression, just wanted to ask, but Zhang Yao said first: "If Daoyou really wants to ask the little junior brother's sword, then Daoyou will have to go down the mountain to find him, if you wait for the little junior brother to return to the mountain, it is okay, but the senior brother said at the beginning, the little junior brother will not return to the mountain, the senior brother did not say, and the poor Dao does not know." ”

Yan Bu shook his head and did not speak again, but looked at Tianzhu Peak in the distance, his expression was a little yearning.

Approaching Yuzhou, the farther you go south, you can also feel the difference between the south and the north in winter, along the way, the withered yellow grass and trees gradually have a trace of green, and even the cold wind howling a few days ago has a little warmth.

Walking out of the carriage, the warm and warm sunlight shone on Li Bad's body, and the sable coat on his body was untied and put on his knees, Li Bad looked at Lao Bai, who was sitting on horseback, and was at ease, remembering the sword in the valley, learning Lao Bai's miraculous sword handing technique, and suddenly shouted: "Go!"

Only a breeze struck, and he put the long knife behind him on the big sword without giving up, closed his eyes slightly, and then shouted: "Go!"

Not even the breeze was gone.

touched the long knife named "Kuaixue", tilted his head and asked, "Lao Bai, is your sword famous?"

Lao Bai glanced at Li Bad's appearance obliquely, and said, "If you use a sword, you are killing, what kind of reputation can you have?"

Li Bad rolled his eyes and said: "I said Lao Bai, you go and see those chivalrous warriors, that handing out a sword, although it is not as good as you, but the sword move in the mouth is shouted out, it is a mediocre sword, and it can be used to make a sword to withstand the posture of a million divisions, I see the sword you killed Chen Songming, and then look at the sword of your sword that slashes thousands of horses, they are all like thunder on the ground, and there is no chic posture, which is not interesting." ”

Lao Bai laughed and said: "What's the matter, the old man's sword is not interesting, then what do you still ask the old man to do?"

Li Bad smiled when he heard this: "That's not what you said, it's good that your old man has the name of a sword immortal, no matter how you say it, you can't have a well-known name, right?"

"If you want to learn, you don't need to go around these bends, and the old man didn't say that he wouldn't teach you, but you held a knife in your hand and came to me to ask me about swordsmanship, did you say that the old man should teach you?"

Li Bad smiled, "I want to learn but I want to learn, but I don't have a name, and it's not very chic, why don't I get one for you?"

Lao Bai laughed when he heard this: "Boy, if you want to learn my sword, it depends on your own creation, the old man has never taught people swordsmanship, but he didn't say that he didn't teach, but you kid's bones, the old man is only afraid that he has taught you, you can't learn anything, and in the future, you will use the four different tricks, how dare you say that the swordsmanship was learned from the old man, if the stupid boy wants to learn, the old man can still be a little interested in teaching." As he spoke, he pointed to the side and didn't know whether it was Yuan Yuan or Kang Liang.

The plum, who was intently nibbling on the flatbread, instinctively looked at Lao Bai after hearing that silly boy, and his eyes were confused.

Li Bad looked at Li Zi's stupid appearance, sighed and said: "It's over, if you want to teach this fool, you won't tell me, Lao Bai, your reputation will be ruined by this kid in the future." ”

Lao Bai suddenly raised the two beards on his lips and snorted: "You kid, don't know what to do, the two sword qi that the old man left with you before are more affordable than watching those two swords, if this stupid boy has these two sword qi, not to mention the sword handed out in the future, it is the current realm, it is better than the You Hailong who has already entered the first grade." ”

Li Bad looked at Li Zi suspiciously, and as soon as his eyes rolled, he dodged and hid in the carriage, and when he reappeared, there was an extra sword box in his hand, which was the 'Xiaoxue', and said: "Hey, that stupid boy, this son gave you this sword, do you want it?"

Li Zi was stunned and looked at Li Bad who suddenly appeared, his face instantly turned red, his right hand clenched into a fist, and he slapped his chest hard, and his left hand was groping for something on horseback.

Li Bad speechlessly glanced at Li Zi, who was choked on a mouthful of flatbread, and stared at Lao Bai, who was also a little depressed, with big eyes and small eyes.
