It is said that Li Chunzheng took Hou Jin and went all the way to the Tianshan faction. Hou Jin saw the light skills of the master Jiu Jian Xian now, which was breathtaking.

Hou Jin seemed to be in a dream, as if he was "driving the clouds and fog", in the clouds, so that he, who didn't know martial arts at all, had his little heart beating non-stop.

The internal force of the master Jiujian Immortal is like a vast ocean, endless, sometimes, with Hou Jin, he flashes and moves for most of the day, and he doesn't see a break. It is estimated that Hou Jin will be able to walk in a few days in such a day's journey.

Of course, the middle wine sword immortal also told Hou Jin about his mental mantra and some tricks for light skill steps. Hou Jin felt more obscure, the master comforted him, he couldn't eat hot tofu in a hurry, a person who didn't know martial arts at all, just started to get in touch with martial arts mantras, he must have felt obscure, and he needed time to study and practice. Not to mention, Hou Jin is really a good talent in martial arts, just in the past few days, he has touched the trick of Jiujian Immortal's light martial arts, and he has a little comprehension, Li Chunzheng is also full of praise, and he is very satisfied with the performance of his apprentice. As the saying goes, "The master leads the way, and the cultivation depends on the individual." "No matter how powerful the master is, he can only play the role of guiding and dispelling the maze, and whether he can learn the skills in the end still depends on the apprentice's own understanding.

On the way to the Tianshan faction, the master and apprentice didn't know what the wine sword fairy was, and on a whim, they had to compete with Hou Jin in the third literary battle: chess skills. According to Jiu Jianxian's statement: Wendou wants to compete three times, but only two games, chess skills have not been tested, and I don't know how the apprentice's chess skills are? In fact, Hou Jin understands in his heart that every man has a competitive heart, even the master Jiujian Immortal is not exempt from vulgarity, and he loses two games in a row in Wendou to himself, feeling very faceless, and the master wants to win himself in chess to get back the scene. So, Hou Jin, who is also quite his own chess skills, thought about letting the master in chess skills, so that the master could win himself, happy and happy, and it could be regarded as the apprentice's filial piety to the master.

However, after a game of chess to more than 100 moves, Hou Jin suddenly felt bad, although the master lost to himself in the pair and lyrics, but he never expected that the master's chess skills were extraordinary, quite powerful, and he began to have the mind of letting the master go, but now he also put it away, and began to take the game with the master seriously. In the end, after more than 300 steps, no one could win anyone, it could only be a tie, and he played a lot of games in a row, all of which were ties, Li Chunzheng felt very surprised: "I didn't expect that this apprentice of mine is not only good at writing and high in understanding, but I didn't expect that chess skills are also so powerful, and this time I have picked up a treasure." When you return to the sect, you can show off with Senior Brother Wang and Senior Brother Liu. ”

Speaking of Jiujian Immortal, in fact, the people in the rivers and lakes did not really understand his true identity, and the world thought that he was disgusted with the darkness of officialdom, abandoned literature and martial arts, and traveled the world. In fact, Li Chunzheng himself was born in a family of eunuchs and had a worry-free life, but when he was a child, his father died of illness and his family was in the middle of the road. He was left with his mother, an orphan and a widow, who were left to live together. Although life was hard, his mother was born as a young lady and was quite knowledgeable, so she taught him knowledge. So much so that he later gained fame because of his mother's merits. It's just that his mother died of illness on the eve of his fame. I regret that I couldn't support my mother and do my filial piety as a son of man. Without worry, Li Chunzheng originally wanted to devote himself to his career, serve the imperial court, and seek benefits for the common people in the world. But it backfired. I couldn't get used to the flattery of officialdom, so I resigned angrily and retired to the mountains and forests. By chance, he met his mentor Junzi Sword Wang Zhihao, and then worshiped under the Tianshan faction, and within a few years, the level of swordsmanship cultivation was already on par with the master Junzi Sword Wang Zhihao, and even had his own unique opinions, creating a set of swordsmanship.

Because he was accustomed to living a reclusive life in the mountains and forests, he politely refused the kindness of his master, gave up the position of the head of the Tianshan faction to his senior brother Yin Yang Sword Tu Hongzi, and left his own swordsmanship to the mountain gate, and roamed the rivers and lakes alone. gradually broke into a reputation, picked out the masters of the Central Plains martial arts sect one by one, and because he liked to drink, he got the name of the wine sword fairy. The world said that Li Chunzheng did not associate with people in the rivers and lakes, and thought that his temper was strange, so he privately called him a wine monster. But he didn't know that he didn't socialize with people, but he actually followed the instructions of his master, and he couldn't expose his sect identity and did it intentionally. After a long time, Li Chunzheng felt that it was not very fun, so he returned to the mountain gate, did not go out of the mountain for more than ten years, and devoted himself to practice, so there was no trace of him on the rivers and lakes, and then the world speculated about his death. Although people who practice martial arts can endure loneliness and hardship, they have no choice but to practice in the mountain gate for more than ten years, and the martial arts cultivation has reached the bottleneck, and then stay in the mountain gate, and there is no help for the improvement of their martial arts cultivation, so they decided to go out of the mountain, travel the rivers and lakes, and do not want to meet a good talent Hou Jin who learned martial arts, so he coincidentally rescued it from the hands of the killer, and prepared to take it to the mountain gate, train well, and cultivate it carefully.

The Tianshan Sect is located in the Kunlun Mountains in the Western Regions, and belongs to a powerful hidden sect, which is not known to the world because it has never set foot in the martial arts of the Central Plains. Most of the people of the Tianshan sect live in the sect, and they almost never go out of the mountain gate, devote themselves to studying martial arts, live a life without quarrel with the world, and never participate in the disputes of the Central Plains martial arts.

It is said that Hou Jin's master and apprentice have been on the road for more than half a month before they gradually arrived at the foot of the mountain gate. After a bumpy ride, he could finally take a breath, Hou Jin breathed a sigh of relief and thought to himself.

At this time, I only heard Li Chunzheng's blessing: "My Tianshan Sect is a holy land of martial arts. When the apprentice arrives later, I will take you to meet with your uncles and uncles, and you must have a good relationship with your fellow teachers and brothers, and you must not make mistakes, can you understand?"

"Master Xie's church, apprentices must keep it in mind. Hou Jin replied.

"Well, okay!" Li Chunzheng was relieved and nodded.

"The apprentice followed closely as a teacher, and if he worked harder, he would soon arrive at the mountain gate. ”

"Master, it's almost time to reach the mountain gate, and I'm not in a hurry. Master, can you let the apprentice rest for a while?" "Running all the way, Hou Jin was already physically and mentally exhausted, and when he heard the master say that he had to work harder, he couldn't help but secretly complain and begged for mercy again and again.

"No, it doesn't. You are a dignified seven-foot man, you can't stand this tiredness, how can you practice martial arts?" Li Chunzheng reprimanded angrily, quite hating iron and not steel.

Hearing the master's lesson, Hou Jin couldn't help but be ashamed. Yes, if we can't bear this bit of suffering, how can we endure the hardships of practicing martial arts in the future? How can we talk about avenging the innocent family members who lost their lives? Thinking of this, Hou Jin suddenly had motivation, and his sense of exhaustion was swept away, and he said: "The master has taught the lesson, and the apprentice knows his mistakes. ”

"Well, that's pretty much it. Hurry up, follow closely as a teacher, and don't be lazy. ”

After speaking, Li Chunzheng had already begun to stride the meteor, leaving Hou Jin far behind him for dozens of steps. This is already the normal pace of walking at the wine sword fairy, and there is no light work. Hou Jin ran desperately up the mountain, helplessly, how could a weak scholar walk past a person who practiced martial arts? Hou Jin gritted his teeth and wanted to keep up with his master's pace. However, hurry up and slow down, no matter how much you catch up, you still fall far behind the wine sword fairy, and the distance is getting bigger and bigger at a speed visible to the naked eye, and you are so tired that you can't breathe.

Li Chunzheng sighed and said with a smile: "It's hard for this kid." But this kid's tenacity and perseverance are still good. Wait a minute, don't tire him out, then the gain outweighs the loss. ”

In this way, after half a day, Hou Jin came to Li Chunzheng, with a big mouth, covering his chest with his hands, and said, "Master, I'm tired of my apprentice." Can we take a break?"

Li Chunzheng sneered and said: "After only running such a short mountain road, you start to feel tired? In the future, the days of practicing martial arts will still be long! It is not so easy to learn the martial arts of my Tianshan faction." Let's go, let's start meeting the mountain gate. ”

After walking a long mountain road, it reached the top of the mountain, and at this time, the master and apprentice came to the front of the gate of the Tianshan Sect. Hou Jin looked up, the clouds and mist on the steep high cliff were shaking, the magnificent hall stood between heaven and earth, the sect reflected by the mist was as majestic as the heavenly palace, only to see the two golden characters in the center above the temple gate: Tianshan. On both sides of the gate stood two disciples of the Tianshan Sect, and at this time, they saluted to the Wine Sword Immortal Li Chunzheng in a neat manner, and shouted in unison: "Disciple to meet Uncle Li." ”

Li Chunzheng bowed his head slightly and said with a smile: "No courtesy." ”

Immediately, Hou Jin followed Li Chunzheng's steps and walked towards the mountain gate. At this time, Hou Jin held his breath and looked at everything in front of him in disbelief. Looking at the scene in front of you, it is like a fairyland. I saw a very huge square, the ground is all paved with hard granite, the light is shining, at a glance, people can't help but feel relaxed, as if immersed in the heavenly court. Patches of white clouds in the distance, like light yarns, are floating under their feet. In the center of the square, a bottle of copper giant tripod is placed every fifty steps or so, divided into three rows, three in each row, a total of nine, and placed in a regular manner. From time to time, there is light smoke floating in Dingzhong, and a faint sandalwood fragrance comes to the wind, and its taste is clear and not dispersed.

On the square, from time to time, groups of Tianshan disciples came and went, some men and women, all dressed in white robes, and they looked good in a flash. When they met Li Chunzheng, they all stepped forward to salute. In the center of the square, there were also groups of disciples, practicing swordsmanship, squatting or standing, or flashing and moving, or jumping up, two or three feet high. One by one, the sword shadows made Hou Jin and Hou Jin dazzled, and said in his heart: "The Tianshan faction is really not ordinary, it is thriving and full of vitality, it is really a good place for self-cultivation and martial arts." ”

Hou Jin looked far away, only to see that in the distance ahead, behind the foggy clouds, something seemed to be shining, and then he realized that the master was about to reach the end of the square, so he quickened his pace, followed the master, and walked forward. Gradually, Hou Jin faintly heard the sound of running water, and there were one or two strange sounds in the middle, which came from nowhere. When they approached the sound of flowing water, the clouds were like gentle fairies, gently surrounding the master and apprentice, gradually pulling back the faint veil, revealing a clear face.

Originally, I saw that what caught Hou Jin's eye was a stone bridge without seats and piers, one end was set up in the square, stretched straight upward, and entered the depths of the white clouds, such as a dragon leaping into the sky, and the momentum was soaring. There is a thin sound of water, under the sunlight, the whole bridge exudes colorful colors, like a rainbow in the sky, falling into the world, gorgeous, dazzling, beautiful. Following the master to the stone bridge, Hou Jin realized that there was continuous water flowing down on both sides of the bridge, which was extremely clear, but the middle part was not dripping. The sunlight shines through the clouds on the bridge and is refracted by the water, creating a brilliant rainbow.

This stone bridge is tall and narrow, Hou Jin walked on it, only to feel that the white clouds on the left and right gradually sank to his feet, and then looked at the scenery under his eyes, the disciples on the square were already tiny black dots, and they didn't know how high they had risen. And the strange voice in front of him still kept coming. After walking for a while, the white clouds gradually dispersed, and they actually walked out of the sea of clouds, and suddenly there was a clear picture in front of them. Wei Wei's sky is vast and boundless, and the vast sea of clouds below is gently floating and sinking, and at a glance, there is a sense of joy and happiness in the heart.

Unconsciously, Hou Jin followed Li Chunzheng to the end of the stone bridge. Walking across the stone bridge, Hou Jin saw that the green mountains were green, the palace was majestic, the clouds and mist were swirling, and dozens of white cranes were singing clearly, fluttering back and forth in the evening light, which made people admire. In particular, there is a huge temple, surrounded by the halls, standing like a flock of chickens, which is particularly conspicuous. The main hall door is more than two zhang wide, and there is a golden plaque hanging in the middle of the top of the hall door, and it is written: three big characters of Qingyu Palace. At the same time, from time to time faintly from the hall faintly came out of the song: the water is connected to the west sky in the fog flowers, the clouds flying and the crane dance is the fairy twilight mountain like the wine mountain people drunk, hey, a wild song moves the sunset. The singing voice is bold and clear, full of energy, full of internal force, and reverberates in the hall for a long time.

At this time, Li Chunzheng said to Hou Jin in a deep voice: "On weekdays, the teacher and your uncles are meditating in this Qingyu Hall to discuss martial arts. Only the highly qualified disciples of the Mountain Gate are qualified to be summoned here for guidance. However, the apprentice has first joined my Tianshan faction, and later, I will take you to the Qingyu Hall for the teacher to meet the elders! Do you know?"

Hou Jinxin said: "Wait until I see the master's brothers, they must all be the same as the master, they are all first-class martial arts masters, I can't help but be a little nervous, but I am looking forward to this kind of scene." So he responded: "Master Xie cares." The master's teachings should be remembered by the apprentices. ”

Li Chunzheng led Hou Jin and began to stride towards the Qingyu Palace. When he was about to approach the main hall, Hou Jin took a closer look, only to see two stone carvings standing on both sides of the palace door, exquisite craftsmanship, especially a pair of eyes that showed fierce light, which made people look at it, and suddenly felt afraid and deterred, and did not dare to take another look. Stepping through the gate, Hou Jin found that there was an inner hall inside, and there were meditation rooms. In the courtyard, there is a rockery, which is piled up by rocks, uneven, the big stones are like a small mountain, and the small ones are no less than ten thousand. The rockery is surrounded by a fountain in the middle. There are also stone statues scattered around the fountain, as high as several people, depicted in detail, in addition to the huge size, its joy, anger and sorrow, a smile and a smile, are no different from ordinary people: or sit or stand, or squat or run, or frown and think, or look up to the sky and laugh, or play and sing, or support the pen and drum, when it is really a thousand postures, each with its own style, at a glance, endless.

After a short time, Hou Jin followed the master to the door of the inner hall. At this time, I only heard a deep neutral voice say, "Pure junior brother, are you back?"

Li Chunzheng said: "Exactly." ”

Hou Jin was secretly frightened: "This person is amazing, right, just by breath, he can find and distinguish people? Even if he is a senior brother who gets along day and night, this is too much, right? It is estimated that martial arts are not under the master." The Tianshan faction is indeed the land of Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. ”

"Come in. ”

When Li Chunzheng heard this, he stepped into the inner courtyard. Hou Jinleng paused for a moment, then followed the master and approached the inner courtyard. I saw six people sitting on the futon, except for the one on the left-hand side of the center that was empty. Hou Jin looked at the six people one by one. The person sitting in the middle of the head, roughly can't see the age, but the wrinkles on the forehead, as well as the wrinkles at the corners of the eyes, this person should be more than sixty years old, no beard, a majestic demeanor, a pair of tiger eyes blazing, quite the momentum of the superior. Sitting on the right hand side of the futon in the middle is a middle-aged woman who is about forty years old, although the are half-old, but also the charm still exists, in the delicate face, the slightly charming big eyes, shining, as if she can speak, presumably this woman must have been a big beauty when she was young. The slender figure, the bulging bulge on the chest, if you see this figure in the dark night, it is a man, you will reverie. On the left hand side of the empty futon sat an elegant middle-aged man, with a lupine scarf, holding two goat's whiskers in one hand, with a handsome appearance, a pair of slender Danfeng eyes, soul-snatching, elegant and shrewd, it is estimated that he is a scheming person. On the two futons on the right hand side of the middle-aged woman, sitting two middle-aged men of the same age and similar appearance, both with long swords at their waists, lean and lean. On the leftmost futon sat a person who looked slightly pale and without a trace of blood, with deep-set eyes and dark circles under his eyes. People who don't know see it and think it's a ghost.

At this time, the majestic man sitting on the futon in the middle spoke: "Pure junior brother, I don't know what the benefits of going down the mountain and traveling to the Central Plains this time are?" The majestic man also stared at Hou Jin several times, making Hou Jin feel a little numb in his scalp, and the pressure in his heart suddenly increased. First-order scholar, when have you ever seen this kind of battle? How can you withstand the pressure of a martial arts master? In the originally cool weather, Hou Jin felt that his back was unbearably hot, and he began to sweat. But after thinking about it: "If it had been put in the past, my Hou Jin would definitely lose his temper." But today is different, as the only closed disciple of the Wine Sword Immortal, when he meets the masters, he has to be calm, he can't lose his temper, lose his master's face, and lose points in front of his uncles. Thinking of this, Hou Jin began to forcibly suppress his mind and calm himself.

I only heard Li Chunzheng smile heartily: "If you want to talk about the harvest, it must be huge." Although I went down the mountain this time, I didn't encounter a good opportunity to have an epiphany, which made my martial arts cultivation more refined, but the junior brother went down the mountain this time and picked up a piece of treasure, the root bone essence is strange, and it is a piece of high-grade fine material and jade for practicing martial arts. ”

The six people sitting on the futon heard Li Chunzheng say this, and they all showed their differences. Everyone is very aware of the temperament of this fellow disciple, since he has been in the mountain gate to learn for more than 20 years, he has not received a single apprentice, and there are a considerable number of young disciples in the mountain gate with excellent qualifications, but he can't look down on them, and he also said that his qualifications are dull and unworthy of being his apprentices. Originally, many disciples wanted to worship under his name but failed, so they all knew how high this Uncle Li's qualifications were for his disciples, so they were discouraged.

"Oh, what's so special about this person? The dignified man asked.

So, Li Chunzheng gave a detailed introduction to how he found Hou Jin's piece of good jade, as well as what happened to him, one by one, and the six people, anyway, he was full of praise for Hou Jin.

"The leader in the middle is the head of my Tianshan faction, the senior brother of the teacher, the Yin and Yang Sword Tu Hongzi. Li Chunzheng introduced.

When Hou Jin heard this, he hurriedly knelt down, bowed his head and said, "Disciple Hou Jin, meet the master of the sect." ”

"Well, that's good. can withstand the coercion of the head of this sect, among the new post-school disciples, you are still the first, and it is really good. ”

Then, Li Chunzheng introduced the other five people to Hou Jin, namely Xia Jiaoyun, the fairy of Shenyu Sword Dance, Zhang Qiming, the talented son of the Ru Sword, Wu Jialuo, Wu Jiaxiong, and Ke Shouxiang, the ghost sword impermanence. Hou Jin also bowed one by one, which can be regarded as acquaintance......
