Chapter 4, Langya meets immortals
When the Great Chu was not yet established, a famous man with outstanding literary talents in the previous dynasty once wrote a travel note, which said that the beauty of the mountains and rivers in Lingzhou was not magnificent but strange, especially pointed out Langya Peak and Brewing Spring, which exhausted the words of praise.
Su Chong had read this travelogue. At that time, he was quite yearning for the scenery described in the text, and when he first came to Lingzhou, he did not forget to ask the Huang family to guide him to the mountains.
At this moment, he sat at the foot of Langya Mountain again, and a pair of feet soaked in the brewing spring after removing his shoes and socks, but his mood was very different from before, and he was not happy and comfortable, but he felt that there was a dryness in his chest that he could not vent, and he was very depressed.
It had been seven days since Su had rushed into the mountains.
In the past few days, he took advantage of the mountainous terrain to cover up, and easily evaded several searches by the fast catchers.
At the moment, he was not worried about being arrested and convicted, but he was troubled that he had gone around several mountains but still did not find the slightest trace of the immortal family, and he was afraid that his wish to ask for immortals would be disappointed, so he was irritable and depressed.
The deeds of the immortal family are not a story of chasing after the wind and shadows. There are two well-known immortal dojos in this world.
One of them is the true religion of Taiyi Mountain, the real family surname of the sect is Wang, but he is a famous living immortal, many people have seen him use his means of flying clouds and fog, and today he will be named a national teacher.
The other place is the Longhu Mountain Zhengyi Dojo, the Taoist system has been inherited for more than 1,000 years, and the Son of Heaven of all dynasties has respected it as a heavenly master, and sent people to worship it every year.
Su Chongsheng has a detached temperament, and he has longed for the scenery of the fairy family at ease for a long time, and he has thought about worshipping the True One Sect or the Zhengyi Sect in the past to learn a Xuanqi Dao technique.
But he knew that the rules for selecting disciples in the two immortal dojos were strict, and the Six Swords Concept was also regarded as the lower door of the True One Sect, and he also knew one or two of the doorways, so he didn't find the door.
It seems that the true one sect, the master of the sect Wang Zhenren only accepted seven disciples, known as the true seven sons, and since then he has sealed the mountain gate, and no matter who enters the mountain to seek immortal fate, he will not pay attention.
The rules of Longhu Mountain are even more strict, non-relatives cannot get their true inheritance, and the relatives of the side branches can only learn some small fur skills, and no one is even allowed to climb the mountain.
Although these two immortal dojos do not accept disciples, after all, there are still portals to see, and those who are aspiring to seek the Tao can always have a thought; compared to them, those immortal sects that are hidden outside the world are even more helpless, even if they are determined to exhaust their life's efforts to find them, they may not be able to gain anything before they die of old age.
Su Chong's parents are alive and well, and they have filial piety to keep, so they can't learn to be idlers from all over the world to meet opportunities.
After a long time, his idea of asking for immortals and asking questions faded, and he retreated to Qiu Ci and began to concentrate on practicing swords, hoping that one day he would be a master of swordsmanship and be able to be a martial arts hero that no one dared to humiliate, and he would be happy for a lifetime.
This time he had a murder case on his body, and he thought that he couldn't fulfill his filial piety and couldn't return to his family, so it was better to avoid the arrest of the government while looking for a future in Xianmen.
Once it can be achieved, the predicament can be easily reversed, and there are not many things in the world that can make it difficult for oneself.
When he regained his old thoughts, his mind became anxious, which led to irritability due to the fruitlessness of his search.
"Huh ......" let out a sullen breath, Su Chong withdrew his feet soaked in the stream, wiped the water traces with the hem of his clothes, and put on his shoes and socks again and stood up.
The creek is so high that you can see far away without much effort.
He put his hand on the pergola and looked at it, and saw that there was no official sign of the errand, so he thought in his heart: "No one saw me hiding here that day, and the hunters went into the mountains to search for no avail, so they should not try their best to drill into the forest to suffer." Thinking about it, at this moment, the government has posted pictures of my appearance to various key passes, and I really can't get out of the mountain for a while...... When the wind fades in the future, I will go out for a walk in disguise to see if the portrait posted by the government does not look like the master. ”
Thinking like this, Su Chong lowered his head to look at the reflection in the stream.
Before he could get a real look at his face, he first caught a glimpse of a silver light passing through the sky, and suddenly fell into a col far behind him.
With a jump in his ears, Su Chong hurriedly turned his head and looked in that direction with his eyes open.
Then I saw the silver light rise again, vaguely wrapped in a short sword, and slashed a few times in mid-air in a disorderly manner, and suddenly sank, smashing many big trees one after another, making a great noise.
"Immortal family means!" Su Chong was surprised and said in his heart: "That silver light seems to be the flying sword of the legendary immortal envoy?
After days of hard work, Su Chong finally made progress, Su Chong did not hesitate anymore, and ran like that mountain col with all his might, and asked for a result.
The martial arts of the Six Swords Concept come from the Taoist lineage, although it is not as powerful as the Taoist art of the Xianjia, but it must also be classified as a superior column in the secular martial arts, and the Jianghu sects that can be compared with it are just a dozen or so chats.
The reason why Su Chong was accepted by the Taoist priest in the temple was because he was not bad at all, and he was born to practice swordsmanship in this vein.
In order to practice swordsmanship, you must learn not only a simple sword movement, but also eyesight, ear power, body skills, and footwork to the point of excellence. In addition, the strength of the whole body should also be boiled according to the law, the muscles and bones should be trained outside, and the breath should be strengthened inside, so that they can have the strength to compete with others.
Su Chong has worked hard since he was a child, and at this moment, he is full of strength, and the whole person is like an arrow shot by a hard bow, and he can run two or three feet away in the blink of an eye.
About halfway through, I could feel the edge of the col when I ran a hundred and ten feet away, but the silver light fell at this moment, and there was still no movement after a few breaths.
Seeing this, he was anxious, and thought, "But don't the person who performed the spell is leaving, right? I have to hurry up, if I miss this time, I don't know what year and month I will not be able to meet the master of the world next time." ”
Thinking so, he quickened his pace a little more, and it was as if he had used all the strength to feed, and in about ten breaths he had already run to the edge of the col. ”
Just because he was running too fast, he lost his strength for a while, and squatted down panting, while not forgetting to stretch out his neck to look. At this glance, I saw a five-foot-tall young man in a brocade robe with a long face and concave cheeks, and a peony was inserted in the side of his sideburns.
For some reason, Su Chong felt a little familiar when he saw this person, but when he looked at the glittering short sword he was holding in his hand, he recognized that it was the thing that had just shown his majesty in the sky before, and couldn't help but shake his head again, and said in his heart: "Among the people I know, no one is blessed to have such a flying fairy baby. The following must be the one who used the Dao magic power before...... How can I come up and meet me so that I don't look rude?"
He was not only afraid that he would annoy the immortal master by rushing forward, but also that the other party would suddenly use a spell to leave after a long delay, and under the contradiction between the left and right, his brain was not enough.
When Su Chong hesitated, the man standing in the col spoke first. But seeing that his brows were furrowed, his face was solemn, he flicked his fingers at the sword, and said with the sound of a buzzing sword: "Senior Sister Zhao, do you know why my 'phoenix nod' move is so powerful?"
Su Chong was stunned when he saw this, turned his eyes around but didn't see anyone, and immediately said in his heart: "There is another one who has used the stealth method? With my eyesight, I can't see the slightest trace, and the immortal family's methods are really wonderful......
He was amazed and sighed, but saw the brocade-clothed young man close his eyes and slowly shake his head, and then said in a very tragic tone: "Alas...... As a seven-foot man, I was too ashamed to tell you about it. But before I was introduced to Taoism by my father, I was a scholar, and I read several truckloads of books—all of them Confucian. From those books, I understood the way of a gentleman - a gentleman is frank and open, and the villain is a relative. Because of this, even if I am a thousand times more ashamed, I will have the courage to tell you today. ”
After opening his eyes and pacing back and forth a few steps, he showed a reminiscing expression on his face, and said slowly: "The first time I saw you practice swords was in Chongyang last year, when you stood on the Bald Pen Peak, and what you performed was a move phoenix-nodding-head!" He shook his wrist and let go, and the short sword turned into a silver light and flew out, cutting off more than ten big trees one after another, and finally hit a bluestone and was bounced to the ground.
"If it doesn't work...... the brocade-clothed young man frowned and shook his head, pinched a seal trick in his hand, and the short sword returned to his hand. The next moment, he reappeared solemnly, flicked his sword with his fingers, and opened his mouth to say: "Senior Sister Zhao, do you know why my move 'Phoenix Nodding' is so powerful?" and then changed his tragic expression and said, "Alas...... As a seven-foot man, I was ......"
As if feeling that his tone was still lacking some taste, he shook his head again, pondered quietly for a moment, and said again: "Senior Sister Zhao, do you know why I used this trick so sharply? Alas...... As a seven-foot man, I was too ashamed to tell you about it. But before I was introduced to Taoism by my father, I was a scholar, and I read several truckloads of books—all of them Confucian. From those books, I understood the way of a gentleman - a gentleman is frank and open, and the villain is a relative. Because of this, even if I am a thousand times more ashamed, I will have the courage to tell you today......"
Su Chong listened to his repeated ramblings, and finally understood, and couldn't help but scolded in a low voice: "Which sect of Immortal Sect masters broke his brain......s? Since he is so thick-skinned, why not simply say that his height is two feet, but he is the reincarnation of the demon King Kong in the temple, maybe that Senior Sister Zhao will make a promise after hearing it. ”
Su Chong's voice was originally very small, just muttering, but somehow it was heard by the brocade-clothed young man below from afar. He saw the other party turn around suddenly, his eyes locked on his own foothold, and then shouted angrily: "Who is peeking at your grandfather Xu Sheng's practice? Get out of here!"
As soon as the voice entered his ears, a silver light also pierced in front of him.
