Volume 3 The Secret of Fusion Chapter 3 The Scenery of the Boundless Sea

Along the way, the ice and snow are deep, the clouds are deep, and the sky and the earth are all white, connected and integrated at the far end.

After Li Bing knew that the "Tao Sword" he lost was the best of the four meridian swords, his heart was even heavier. Someone gave up his life to complete something, but he lost it in his own hands, and for a time he felt endless remorse. What kind of beautiful scenery of heaven and earth, I really can't raise the slightest interest at the moment.

"Wow!Look!!What is that!" Anzi looked into the distance and called out first: "Oh my God! What is that! Is it the sea!"

Yinglan'er was in a very good mood along the way, and when she saw the beautiful scenery that Anzi said, she also looked at it.

"Wow!" exclaimed, and was so shocked by this beautiful scenery that his heart palpitated, and even goosebumps on his arms rose.

The four of them were originally walking on the grassland, but suddenly found that the left side had become a cliff, and it was even more high. Under the cliff, there is an endless frozen water surface, which is smoother than the copper mirror, without a trace of undulation, and the ice surface is not crystal clear, but blue, just because the bottomless ocean is sealed below. On the surface of the ice, even the sky has changed, there is not a trace of white clouds, the blue is simple and pure, and in the same way, at the far end, it is intertwined with the ice surface, and it is impossible to distinguish the boundary.

This lonely world is divided into two by this cliff, half of which is thick clouds, deep snow, and white purity, and half is thousands of miles of ice, thousands of miles of blue sky, and blue depth. The two colors of heaven and earth merge together at the end of each other, making people wonder if they are on the ground or in the clouds at this moment.

Being in it, it actually makes people respect heaven and earth, and suddenly feel their insignificance. It is said that the heart moves with the scene, and the ancients did not deceive me.

The four of them stopped and stood on this cliff, and they also had the courage to look at the world and the world, and their hearts were relaxed, and they seemed to be able to really forget any troubles.

"That's where I'm talking about. It's not really a sea, it's a huge lake. The Hui people all call him Xiaohai. Walk along this cliff for another half an hour, and you will reach the Meridian Sect. ”

(The small sea of the Sui and Tang dynasties, the present Baikal Lake)

Li Bing and the others had never felt so relaxed, and they got out of the carriage and had to walk. Standing on the top of the mountain and taking a look at the beautiful scenery is really enjoyable.

The height of the cliff slowly decreased, and after half an hour, the snow and ice finally merged into the same plane. In front of me is a sand road, slightly higher than the ice surface, all the way to the ice surface, straight into the lake a hundred or ten zhang away, forming a sand island, scattered on the top of the more than 20 houses, there are new and old, there are large and small, scattered layout, there is no walled courtyard, there is no rockery pastoral.

It is completely different from the exquisitely carved landscape of Qianhua Xingfang, which relies on the primitive and rough beauty of heaven and earth.

This is the Meridian Sect.

"Eh, no one is there, I guess they all followed the 'Li Sword Master' to open the ice cave and hunt for winter fish. Song Wushuang looked at the sect and muttered.

Before he walked to the house, he saw an eighty-year-old man sitting on a wicker chair by the lake, with his back to Li Bing and the others, basking in the sun and napping.

"Master Sun, I'll get the medicine back for you. Song Wushuang shouted from afar, but the old man still didn't wake up.

"Master Sun, here are the guests!" she shouted again as she walked up to her. Master Sun woke up, and his voice was like a gossamer, and his lungs were thick: "Ahh

He turned his head and glanced at Li Bing and the others. This time, Li Bing was startled, this face was almost exactly the same as Sun Wuyi's predecessors, only older, full of white hair, his face was full of vicissitudes and wrinkles, the skin on his arms was loose, and there were sparse white spots.

Li Bing stepped forward to say hello, but saw that the old man looked the three of them up and down, and said to himself: "Ah~! It's not Wuyi! It's not Wuyi! Cough! Cough! Wuyi can't come back!

This old man is the current head of the Meridian Sect, Sun Wuyi's biological father, Sun Yihang.

"This?!" Looking at the appearance of the person in front of him, it was difficult for Li Bing to associate him with the image of the head of the Meridian Sect.

"Master Sun was stimulated many years ago and had a stroke. After that, I slowly lost my memory. He doesn't recognize people now. Don't care. Song Wushuang said lightly: "He likes to sit here and bask in the sun." Let him sit a little longer. I'll find you a room and clean up. ”

The four of them walked to the pile of scattered houses, and Song Wushuang pointed to the two rows of houses: "There are not many people in the Meridian Sect now, and most of the houses are empty. You can choose the house you like over there. She was originally easy-going, but in these words, there was some sadness, and there seemed to be some helplessness and bitterness about the current situation of the Meridian Sect.

Anzi had just tied up his horse when he suddenly heard a string of bells ringing on the ice.

From a distance, two plank ice sleds were speeding from the ice in the distance, each with seven or eight huge gray wolves pulling in front of them.

"Woo~!woo~!" The ice sled stopped, and the wolves didn't seem to be able to run enough, squatting in place, looking up to the sky and roaring.

Li Bing and the three followed Song Wushuang to catch up, and several wolves who had already unlocked their locks saw the living approaching, and rushed over one after another and pounced on Li Bing and the others.

Anzi couldn't dodge and was pounced on the ground, and seven or eight wolves surrounded him at once.

Crazy ...... Lick your face.

"Hahahaha~!" a group of Meridian Sect disciples burst into laughter. Li Bing was also a little scared when he looked at this wolf pack, and he also laughed when he saw Anzi surrounded by wolves on the ground.

"Is this a wolf or a dog? Anzi wiped the sticky saliva all over her face and asked, pointing to the group of wolf dogs.

Those dogs were all half a man tall and majestic, much larger than ordinary earth dogs. The face and abdomen are pure white, the tail is like a wolf, but it is upright and upward, and the eyes are light blue eyes, which are very special.

"This is a wolfdog, we here, six months a year are snowy, the grassland is difficult to walk, and it is easy to be frozen, but the wolfdog is better. At the same time as Song Wushuang explained, the wolf dogs pulling the ice sleds also dispersed and disappeared into the snow.

"They haven't run enough, so let them go, and when they're fed, they'll all be back." A man in his thirties dragged the ice sled up from the ice and looked at Li Bing and the three of them: "No frost?

Song Wushuang didn't answer, but introduced the man first: "This is the 'Martial Sword Master' Li Wuhan. You can call him Master Li, or Brother Li. "The man should be about the same age as Song Wushuang, and his appearance is not outstanding, but he looks honest and honest. A plain cloth dress is draped over a fur coat, which is even more capable.

After speaking, he pulled Li Bing, coughed, and said to the dozen or so disciples who got off the ice sled car: "This is Li Bing, Sun Wuyi's disciple." It's also the new 'Tao Sword Master'!"

Li Wuhan looked at Li Bing, his face was full of shock, and he didn't want to realize it too obviously, so he hurriedly suppressed it. After listening to Song Wushuang's introduction of Anzi and Yinglan'er, who came as guests, he calmed down his expression. A total of more than a dozen disciples all looked happy and welcomed them. It is rare for someone from the Meridian Sect to visit, which is naturally a blessing.

With the help of his disciples, Li Wuhan quickly packed up the ice sled cart and shouted to those disciples, "There are clouds and moons. Go and put away the fish in the back, take some large cuts, and stew a soup. The rest is frozen in the cellar. There are mountains and water, go to the ice cellar and get some vegetables and meat. I eat fish every day, and I haven't made meat dishes for a long time, and if there are guests today, I will stew a pot to stew it more fragrantly. There is wind, rain, and dew, go and get some sheets and bedding. Give the guest a bar, and the room is cleaned up. ”

After speaking, he pointed to a few of the youngest disciples: "You little ones, go and clean up some food for the wolf dog." Don't feed the fish, those stupid dogs will have diarrhea after eating fish bones. ”

The task assignment of the disciples on the field was clear, and a group of disciples were also busy with their own work, and they all dispersed. Li Wuhan said to Li Bing and the others: "Let's go in and talk!"

Li Bing looked at these and was a little puzzled. Thinking that although the Meridian Sect is located in a remote area, it is also a famous sect, how come there are only these eleven or twelve people in front of him. Looking at these disciples again, the older ones are one or two years older than Li Bing, and those younger ones may be younger than Anzi, no matter how you look at it, they are not a famous family.

The room that the five people walked into was very large, and it could be seen that when the Meridian Sect was magnificent, it was also a bit large. There was a huge table in the hall, the top was pitted and badly worn, and it was very old. Other than that, there are no other furnishings. There was a clay stove in the corner, and then a chimney led outside. The furnace cavity was full of ashes, Li Wuhan grabbed a handful of straw, beat it with flint, and threw some wood into it.

"The sun hasn't gone down yet, it's still warmer. After a while, after dark, people will freeze to death. You haven't been to Saibei, so be careful. It's cold here, and it's not going to get better all winter. ”

After adding firewood, Li Wuhan said again: "Oops, I forgot to ask a few small ones to boil some hot water." Forget it, there's no tea in the sect. Let's wait a while and drink the fish soup. The fish in this small sea are very fresh. ”

Seeing Li Wuhan so busy, Li Bing suddenly felt a little sour. It can be seen that the days of the Meridian Sect are very poor now.

"Brother Li. Oh no, it's Sword Lee. I really didn't expect that Master Sun Jian would actually accept apprentices. I thought he would really never accept apprentices again for the rest of his life!" he looked at Song Wushuang and smiled: "This acceptance of apprentices means that the knot in my heart has also been untied." A good thing!

A few people chatted casually. Li Bing still couldn't help but ask, "Brother Li, are those people all the disciples of the Meridian Sect just now?"

Li Wuhan and Song Wushuang were a little embarrassed when they heard this: "Yes." What you see is all the people. The other is your master Sun Wuyi, and the 'Slightly Sword Master, Ram Boundless'. He lived in the forest ahead, where there was a lot of wood, and where our forge was. ”

Song Wushuang also said: "Actually, the previous Meridian Sect was much bigger than now. If you look at the houses here, you can see that when we were disciples of that generation, there were at least 50 people. But then it ...... Later, there were some changes in the sect, and gradually many disciples left. This place is remote, and there are no new disciples, so it slowly became such a ....... You're your own person, and I don't want to hide it from you. In fact, almost all of the disciples outside are orphans or disaster victims in the vicinity. After being rescued by others, he was placed here. ”

The three of Li Bing were shocked and continued to ask, "What happened?"

"That's ......" Li Wuhan was about to say, but Song Wushuang stopped talking: "This is a long story, let's eat first." I'll tell you slowly after eating!"

As he spoke, the food was served. The silver barracuda is stewed with shallots and ginger slices, and the umami can be smelled from afar. Then there was a large pot of mutton, simply boiled with salt and bones. Fish and sheep are fresh, and this high-quality fresh ingredient is made in the simplest way, which is the real original mellow.

All the disciples sat around the table, divided their meals, and enjoyed themselves. Where is this like a sect, it is really a big family.

The fish soup is delicious, the mutton is tender, everyone is eating happily, and suddenly someone pushes the door in. Only then did I push the door to see that more than a dozen wolf dogs were sitting neatly outside at the door, even if the door was opened, they did not enter, sitting at the door, sticking out their tongues, panting, waiting for the people inside to throw bones out.

The man who just came in was a little old man. He looked about the same age as Sun Wuyi, with a thin figure, a shoulder-length beard, and the fabric of a single robe had faded a little.

This Xiaohai is further north than Jiluzhou, and now it is the thirty-ninth day of the lunar month, Anzi still feels a little cold in a leather coat, and this little old man is only wearing a single summer dress.

He originally blew his beard and stared, and his face was not happy. As a result, when he saw the fish soup and mutton on the table, he raised his eyebrows, swallowed his saliva first, his brows locked again, and stared at Li Bing and the others: "Sun Wuyi's disciple is back? Why didn't anyone notify me?"

Li Wuhan watched the little old man enter the door, and hurriedly got up: "Oh, Ram Sword Master, why are you here." Come on, come on, come and introduce. This is the 'Sword Master' ram that I mentioned to you. ”

Li Bing and the others also hurriedly got up, saluted first, and listened to this Li Sword Master introduce himself.

Ram Wuji looked the two up and down, reached out and touched Li Bing's shoulders and chin, and looked at his mouth: "Well, the teeth are good, and the muscles and bones are also good." is also Zhou Zheng, a talent, but a little bit like Sun Wuyi back then. ”

He touched Anzi again: "Well, this muscle is a little worse." There's no meat, and the muscles and bones aren't strong. But he looks smart, a bit like me! Well, Sun Wuyi has a good eye!"

After speaking, he looked at Yinglan'er again. I didn't know if he wanted to get started, Li Wuhan hurriedly stopped: "Ram Sword Master, no." Only Master Li Jianzhu was Sun Wuyi's disciple, and both of them were guests. ”

"Oh~! That's it!" He took Li Bing again, and after finding a place to sit down, his eyes fell on the pot of mutton again.

Song Wushuang smiled slightly, and said busily: "Youyun, go, bring a pair of dishes and chopsticks for your Uncle Ram." Bring another bowl of fish soup, and ask for the biggest and fattest fish!"

Everyone sat down and chatted and ate again. However, the eyes of the ram sword master swirled on Anzi's body, and Anzi was so frightened that he didn't know what to do, and he only cared about eating, and didn't dare to answer at all. The expression of this little old man is really lively and cute.

"Hey, that kid!" everyone in the room was chatting noisily, and the Ram Sword Master suddenly spoke, and the whole room fell silent. "Yes, that's you. The one next to Sword Master Li!"

"Ah~!me?" Anzi pointed at herself, looking confused.

"Yes, that's you. I'll ask you. Do you have a teacher?" the Ram Sword Master looked at Anzi, and his eyes looked like he was going to eat Anzi alive.

"Shimen? there is a ...... Or not?" An Zi wanted to say yes, but Shi Siming, who taught him "crossing the river with a reed" and "empty-handed", did not formally accept apprentices after all, he didn't even know Shi Siming's name, and if he asked what school his teacher was, he couldn't answer, so he could only answer "no".

"Hmm~!" The ram sword master nodded slightly: "That's good!Since that's the case, I'll accept you as a disciple!"

After the speech, the room was shocked!

"Old sword master, don't make a mess. Li Wuhan hurriedly stepped forward to stop: "They are guests." ”

"How can this add to the chaos? He Sun Wuyi has untied the knot in his heart, and if he accepts disciples, I can't accept them?" The ram sword master pouted and glared at Li Wuhan angrily: "I didn't accept disciples before, because I was afraid of trouble." But now it's different, Sun Wuyi has accepted all the apprentices, and I can't lose to him, I have to accept one! Otherwise, who will I pass on my slightly sword to? Although this kid is not good, he is better than being smart. Come on, come on, look at this look, it's exactly the same as when I was young, you can see that he is a smart person. ”

"That's right. It's you!" Ram Wuji looked at Anzi, and the more he looked at it, the more he liked it, and he actually showed a wicked smile. "Come on, give me a bow!"

Seeing that Anzi was stunned, he said again: "Why? still look down on me? I can tell you." In terms of martial arts, Sun Wuyi may be slightly better than me. But this Meridian Sect's forging ability. But no one is better than me. If you worship me as a teacher, you won't suffer!"

Seeing that he still didn't move, Ram Wuji snorted coldly: "Don't you want to salute? Forget it, I don't care about these vain." Call me Master, and it's done. ”

Anzi didn't answer, as if she was thinking.

The ram sword master was still expecting, looking at Anzi's face, the more he looked at it, the more he became fascinated, and suddenly showed a sad face: "You look like your senior brother." When he started to learn blacksmithing, he was only your age. He's just like you, he's thin and small, but he's a smart guy by nature, and he only needs to be taught everything once, maybe he'll be the second Bihai Craftsman Sect in the future!"

As he spoke, he actually shed two tears: "Your senior brother, it's really a bad fate, I have been weak since I was a child, I have been hanging with internal force every day, and I have just improved a little when I become an adult." I thought everything would be better in the future......"

Speaking of this, he suddenly cried even more violently, hung his head and chest, and couldn't stop: "It's all the Sun Wuyi who suffered a thousand cuts......

"Ahhhh

The ram sword lord cried sadly, what happened decades ago, as if it happened yesterday.

The tragedy of the white-haired person sending the black-haired person is probably like this.
