The next day, just after Mao, Qin Keji took Yan Wuji up the mountain, rode a horse for about half an hour, the terrain suddenly became steep, and Wuji guessed that it was estimated to be at the foot of Huashan.

Qin Keji pointed to the small mountain at the end of the road in front of him: "This mountain is called 'Bu Attack Ridge', it is the 'Zhaobi Mountain' of Huashan, also called 'Shadow Wall Mountain', and it is counted as entering the gate of Huashan after turning over the Bu Attack Ridge." ”

Do not attack the ridge to say that it is a mountain, in fact it is a hill, just because it has no edge and no edge, and the slope is gentle, so it is called "not attacking".

The two of them went up along the mountain road from north to south, and when the two of them reached the top of the mountain, their vision suddenly opened up, and when they saw the scene in front of them, Yan Wuji's brain seemed to have lost the ability to command actions, and he stood there motionless like a log, stunned with his eyes, and looked at the majestic mountains in the south and the giant sword that "took the mountain as his body......

The south side of the mountain is a strange and magnificent mountain, and this mountain is called "Tianzhi Mountain" It is the place where the Sect of the First Sword Sect is located, the whole ridge seems to have been cut by the Devil's Axe Sword, it is unusually smooth, the One Sword Sect is established in the flat place of the ridge, according to the situation, the layers are progressively straight into the sky, or the layers are tired, or the carved beams and painted buildings, the intrigue is lined up one after another, and because the buildings in the sect are all blue-black, the whole Sect is like a giant beast climbing Tianzhi Mountain, and there are steps made of dark granite between all the pavilions and courtyards, which are all integrated, and it is found from the overall situation that all the buildings in the One Sword Sect are connected together to form a reclining giant sword, which is really ingenious。

There is also a gentle river that winds around the foot of Tianzhi Mountain, and behind Tianzhi Mountain is the highest peak of Huashan Mountain, Luoyan Peak. These constructions are exactly in line with the blessed land of the fairy mountain in the mouth of the feng shui sorcerer: "There is a photo in the front, there is a back, and the gold and water are surrounded on all sides." ”

Yan Wuqi and the others never attacked the mountain along the mountain road, passed through the stone bridge, and crossed the big river to the mountain gate. In the end, the One Sword Sect is a sect named after the sword, there are usually two stone lions in front of the mansion compound, and here they are also replaced by two huge stone swords, the stone sword stands on the base like a stele, and the sword body is engraved with words, one of which is written with the deeds of Lu Yuan, the founder of the mountain, and the other is written with the rules and regulations of the One Sword Sect.

After Qin Keji greeted the guards at the door, he led Yan Wuji into the gate.

In front of you is the endless blue-black staircase, each flanked by houses symmetrical to each other.

There are about one hundred and fifty floors of steps, and at the end of the steps is a square with a length and width of twenty zhang, the square is paved with floor tiles, and there are stone railings built around it, and there is a three-story hall at the back, which is also dark blue.

Qin Keji pointed to the main hall and said: "This is the 'Feile Palace', it is a place for the guests to rest, and the word 'Feile' is also informing the guests that they have entered the hinterland of the One Sword Sect, so they should clean up their appearance and stop laughing and playing." ”

Yan Wuji was puzzled by something, and asked, "Shibo, why don't you see any utensils such as incense burners and bells standing in the square?"

Qin Keji laughed loudly: "There is a bell! On the top of the mountain, as for the incense burner and pu mat, we are not Taoists or monks, what is the use of these mundane things!"

The two of them continued to climb around the Feile Palace, and the original one step became three, the three steps were equally spaced, the gaps were intermittently planted with pines and cypresses, and the spacing between the trees was also equal, extremely symmetrical.

Yan Wuzhi counted silently in his heart, and walked up another hundred and fifty steps, and at the end was still a square square, which was larger than the square where the Feile Hall was located, with a length and width of thirty zhang. Wu Ji guessed in his heart that from the mountain gate to here, it should be the sword body of the giant sword.

What stands out is the majestic giant statue in the middle of the square.

The statue depicts a farmer ploughing the field with one hand on the plow, this person is wearing a short coat, holding his trouser legs, his thick tendons are curled and snaking on his arms and calves, and the other hand is holding a sweat towel around his neck, gently wiping the sweat from his forehead.

There is also a long sword hanging behind the statue, and the farmer who cultivates the land carries the long sword, which always makes people feel a little abrupt.

Qin Keji introduced Yan Wuji: "This statue is called 'Sword and Plough' with a height of three feet and eight feet, and the pedestal is eight feet and three inches high. 'Fighting the Sword and Ploughing' is not only the face of the One Sword Sect, but also the soul of the One Sword Sect!"

Kong Zhongni once said: "Casting swords is used as agricultural tools, cattle and horses are herded in the original servals, the family has no thoughts of separation, and there is no trouble in fighting for a thousand years."

It's ridiculous to think about it, this is said lightly, who doesn't want to pick chrysanthemums, children and grandchildren around the knees, who doesn't want to cast a sword as a plow, abandon the armor and pick up the pen, but....wish is a wish after all, and longing is a longing after all. If you want to guard peace and live a stable life, you still rely on the three-foot hook behind you, and only when you become extremely strong will no one dare to bully you.

Yan Wuji was only an eight-year-old child after all, and Qin Keji's words made Yan Wuji confused. Many years later, when Yan Wuji recalled this passage again, it was already a matter of fact.

Behind the statue was a five-story attic, and Qin Keji introduced: "This is the 'Non-Destiny Palace', the tallest building of the One Sword Sect, and it is also the place where the Zongfu holds large-scale celebrations. ”

Compared with the non-music hall, this hall covers a wider area and is more imposing.

There is an open space on each side of the square, which is connected by a corridor.

There is a sword lattice between the sword body and the hilt, and these three squares are the sword lattice of the giant sword.

Bypass the non-life hall and climb up again, the steps are restored to one, there are about 100 floors, and there is a square at the end of the steps, so far, this is the hilt of the giant sword, and there is still a large hall behind the square, called "the hall of self-suffering".

The square where the Hall of Self-Suffering is located is the top part of the giant sword, the sword sword.

At this time, the other six sons of the Sword Sect were already waiting for Qin Keji in the Self-suffering Hall, and he left Yan to wait outside the door for an indefinite period of time, and he went straight into the main hall.

After two teas, a young man about thirteen or fourteen years old, with a good appearance, wearing a black half-arm shirt, went to the threshold and called out to Yan Wuji, and the young man said, "The sect master and all the uncles want to see you." ”

When he walked to his side indefinitely, the man said again: "Senior Uncle Qin has already told the sect master everything, you don't have to be restrained, just answer normally." ”

Yan Wuzhi followed the man into the hall, and he glanced at it with his spare eyes, only to see three people sitting on each side, all wearing robes with the same style as Qin Keji.

The man on the left is tall, wearing a soft foot scarf, smiling and holding a long beard, he is the second Zhu Moqi, and sitting next to Zhu Moqi is Qin Keji, who Yan Wuji is familiar with, sitting below Qin Keji is a round face and beard, only showing a little face but it is red, and anyone with a discerning eye knows that this is caused by the full of true qi, this person's body is extremely strong, and the muscles that are tied up hold the robe to the fullest, Qin Shibo said, this is the fourth Yao Shouyi.

The three people on the right are relatively young, the person at the head is wearing a flat head, his expression is solemn, he sits upright, he is the fifth grandson Zhengli, only to see that the person below Sun Zhengli looks very handsome, like a celestial man, that person is as green as ink, wearing a silver hair crown, thin eyebrows flying obliquely, eyes into a pair of words before smiling, rhino nose and thin lips, face like a crown of jade like a lily in the beginning of the opening, this is the sixth Su Jianyi. The person on the right side of the tail has a thin face, sharp edges and corners, no expression on his face, his hair is braided at the back of his head, he is simply tied with a strip of cloth, and he is carrying a simple long sword behind him.

In the center of the main hall, there is a person standing with his hands in his hands, and he guesses that this person should be the leader of the first major faction in the world's martial arts - Ji Benchu, who has dominated the rivers and lakes for many years.

Yan Wuqi and the others stopped, and the young man bowed and replied: "The disciple has brought Yan Wuqi here." ”

Before Qin Keji could speak, he leaned forward and bowed down indefinitely, kowtowed respectfully three times, and said, "Disciple Yan Wuzhi will meet the sect master!"

When everyone saw that he looked like a young man, they couldn't help laughing, but only Zang Feng was still expressionless.

"This doll is quite bold, I like it!" the fourth Yao Shouyi laughed loudly.

Shibo once said that the person he respected the most was Yao Shouyi, so he had to kowtow even more, so he turned slightly sideways, faced Yao Shouyi, and kowtowed three more times.

"Fourth brother, you haven't seen it, this doll is not only bold, when he just came in, he lowered his head and secretly looked at us! Su Jianyi joked indefinitely.

After hearing this, everyone laughed again, and Zang Feng, who had always been expressionless, also raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and smiled a little.

Ji Benchu waved his hand, signaling everyone to be quiet, and then called Yan Wuji to get up.

After getting up indefinitely, he dared to take a look at Ji Benchu, this person was wearing a dark purple round-necked robe, wearing a black crown, his appearance was handsome, and he had a square face like Qin Keji, but with a more solemn color, and his face was slightly tired.

Ji Benchu asked a few trivial questions about Wuji, and Wuji answered them one by one, then looked at Zang Feng and asked, "What do you think?" Zang Feng nodded slightly, and he accepted this apprentice.

At this time, Zhu Moqi got up and said: "My First Sword Sect has not accepted a disciple for many years, and since you have entered my sect, you should be proud of it, take it as a thought, and abide by the way of chivalry, and the seven of us also have great expectations for you." It's just that your name is 'Wuji', which doesn't make sense, Uncle Shi sent you a new name today, 'Wuji' is changed to 'Wuji', okay?"

While everyone was still pondering whether the new name was good, Yan Wuzhi knelt down to Zhu Moqi with a "bang", kowtowed like pounding garlic, and said while crying: "It is a great honor for the disciple to give the name from the master, but this name was given by the mother when she was dying, and the disciple is unwilling to change it." When my mother was dying, she said, 'I don't expect my son to get ahead, but I want to be stable and healthy all my life', so I chose my name indefinitely. ”

The more he cried, the more Qin Keji hurriedly got up to help him, it stands to reason that the name given by the master is not a big deal, among the seven sons of the Sword Sect, only Ji Benchu and Zang Feng are the original names, and the rest are given by the master. However, Yan Wuzhi said it touchingly, and Zhu Moqi also felt that he was a little rash.

When he cried like this, everyone not only did not get angry, but liked him as neither humble nor arrogant, and he missed his mother deeply. From this moment on, Yan Wuzhi knew that everyone in this wealthy family had a lot of rules, so he paid attention to every step of the way, always caring, and he became more and more introverted.

Ji Benchu coughed dryly and said: "Early in the morning, I have already instructed Di Hua to prepare a room and a variety of items for an indefinite period, and he will take you to settle down, and immediately after changing your clothes, you will go to your master's room to offer tea and worship the master, so that you can officially be regarded as a disciple of my One Sword Sect, and I will announce it to all the disciples in the sect if I find a suitable opportunity." He also said to Yan Wuzhi a few major rules that the Sword Sect must abide by, which are nothing more than the words "respect, order, diligence, and hardship".

Then he turned around and said to Qin Keji: "Third junior brother, don't follow me all the time, the child must always learn to be self-reliant, just leave everything to Di Hua, and you will go back to the room with the seventh brother and wait for it first." The rest of the people also dispersed, as for the matter of Haiyan that the third junior brother said, let it go for the time being, and wait for the news from Xiangling County to make arrangements. ”

Ji Benchu has taken over as the sect master for more than ten years, and he has arranged these trivial things in a timely manner.

It seems that the sect master of the One Sword Sect, which is high up and admired by everyone, also has a lot of sadness and bitterness inside, there are royal nobles who need to get closer, and they must always be vigilant to make a big move, and be careful to beware of traitors and slander; there are rudder accessories that need to be taken care of, and pay attention to both grace and power; there are Vientiane Gates competing for dominance in the world outside, and there are thousands of people in the sect who open their mouths to eat. I still have to make time to practice and practice, how can I describe the word "difficult"! Therefore, this Ji Ben always looks tired at the beginning, and his appearance is much older than his actual age.
