Chapter 16: Xu Jun
(In the first week of the book, I would like to thank the book friends "Daodao", "First Meeting", "911", "Diyang", "Maoxiao", "Qingshan Yuan", "Starry Sky", "405", "Test Account", "Prodigal Son", "975", "460", "Understand Love", "Moon Song", "Yishan End", etc.
Xu Jun sat on a rock by the waterhole, clasped his hands on his knees, and looked at the pool in a daze.
Her posture is very beautiful, her long hair is combed up, and she is tied with a ball on the top, and when viewed from the side, her neck is elegant, and her cheeks are like jade.
Zhao Lingtai coughed dryly.
The girl was startled, stood up, and looked at her with a bright eye.
Zhao Lingtai smiled and said, "Hello." ”
Xu Jun's eyes flashed with a hint of doubt, but he still replied politely: "Hello." ”
From Zhao Lingtai's outfit and the bucket she was carrying, she had guessed that this young man should be a recruited laborer.
However, this labor force is a little different, when other people see the disciples of the Sword Sect, they all stand still from a distance, let alone take the initiative to say hello.
"Is the Sword Sect good?"
Zhao Lingtai asked again.
"Well, good. ”
Xu Jun replied quickly.
Zhao Lingtai stopped talking, walked to the water's edge, skillfully hit the water, picked it up, and turned to leave.
Looking at his somewhat thin back, Xu Jun inexplicably felt a little déjà vu and was so weird, but she was sure that she had never seen each other:
"It's a little inexplicable......"
The girl pursed her lips and spoke, and did not stop any longer, but walked up the hill and returned to the sword house.
The outer gate of the Lingtai is a staking and covers a wide area. In terms of topography, the two mountains that were originally located outside the main peak of Lingtai were mainly developed.
Two mountain ridges, the shape is similar, one left and one right, forming a canyon in the middle, it seems, it looks like a portal, after passing, it is the main peak of the Lingtai, that is, where the inner gate is.
Yamamoto is nameless, and now it is also named, Left Ling Peak, Right Tai Peak.
Xu Jun entered and was assigned to Zuo Lingfeng. And the place where Zhao Lingtai does things is under this peak.
There are more than 400 disciples in the left Lingwaimen, which is slightly less than the number of the right peak, and the left and right outer gates are managed by the two deputy heads of the Lingtai: Jiang Shanghan and Fang Xiafeng.
plus a head in the woods.
The names of the three have a rule, because they are all given by the ancestor Zhao Lingtai. As for Anu, he is an exception, with a nickname, which is still used today.
After getting started, Xu Jun was soon taught the advanced swordsmanship of Lingtai. She has excellent talent, learns quickly, and has outstanding appearance, and within a few days, she has become the focus of Zuo Lingfeng.
I have to admit that there are always some people who are born with an aura.
Perhaps, this is a unique talent.
However, Xu Jun doesn't like to be lively, less than words, and in terms of temperament, he adds a bit of coldness, which makes people difficult to approach.
On Zuoling Peak, it is orderly, the top of the mountain is the residence of the peak master and elders, to the next step, it belongs to the deacons, and then to the mountainside, there are many sword houses, each of which is unified and independent, and the outer disciples live here.
In addition, there are buildings such as the sword training ground, the sword learning hall, the sword score pavilion, and the canteen, which are distributed in different locations.
In general, the layout of the left and right peaks is similar, and there is not much difference, and the swordsmanship taught, as well as the collection of books in the Sword Spectrum Pavilion, are also treated equally.
What determines the height of the two peaks is the cultivation of the disciples.
In order to communicate with each other and promote together, a sword competition is held every August, and those who perform well have the opportunity to be selected to enter the inner gate and become inner disciples.
That's a great honor.
The total number of disciples in the inner sect of the Lingtai is only more than 100 people.
Xu Jun is very optimistic that he will be able to break through to the realm of Tongxuan within three years, so as to advance to the inner gate.
Entering her own sword house, a little tired Xu Jun lay on the small bed, closed her eyes and recuperated, today, her thoughts were inexplicably a little chaotic, and her mind passed over that sad night of killing, and one by one her partners fell in front of her and died......
As soon as the picture turned, an injured puppy looked indifferent, then turned his head and walked away......
Calculating the time, it's been almost two months, why haven't you heard of any movement in the sect, looking for the murderer, and taking revenge?
These days, Xu Jun has heard some rumors, all of them are bad news, it seems that there are many forces that want to be unfavorable to the Lingtai, and there have been several attacks and assassinations, and there have been casualties among the inner disciples of the Sword Sect.
The news is not very exact, and the sword sect also intends to block it, and it is not allowed to chew on the tongue.
However, Xu Jun believes that they will never sit idly by, and maybe, they will make a move soon.
......
The inner door of the spiritual platform, between the mist, there is no cave.
A mountain peak rises from the ground, the top is flat like a platform, and the buildings are distributed on it, all of which are the style of green walls and black tiles, without the slightest resplendence, it looks like a landscape village that escapes from the world, and is full of a sense of returning to the basics.
A stone staircase path winds its way up.
The stones of this road are piled up randomly, and the size and thickness are also different, so the masonry of the road looks irregular.
When the road reaches the top, it suddenly opens up, and first of all there is a wide square, which is also paved with stones.
At the entrance of the square, a stone statue is placed on the left and right sides, and the shape is a little strange, not to ward off evil spirits, not to be a lion, not like a unicorn or the like.
In fact, the shape of these two statues can only be said to be ordinary, and the craftsmanship is rough and not outstanding. But they have been here since the Lingtai Sect and have never moved.
Because they were carved out by Zhao Lingtai.
Zhao Lingtai retreated and cultivated, and after he soared into the sky, everything he used was regarded as a treasure by the Sword Sect, and it was treasured and protected. Not to mention the two hand-carved statues, even a page of scribbled papyrus, they are regarded as treasures, and even studied and pondered them in every way, and it is said that they can understand the mystery of kendo.
This saying is very popular in the Lingtai Sword Sect, and many inner disciples squat at the mountain pass every day, guarding the bluestone tablet, looking at the word "Lingtai" on it.
And this only belongs to the welfare of the inner disciples, and the people of the outer gate can only go to see the rubbings on the gatehouse - which is tepicted by the head of the gate, Lin Zhongliu.
At the end of the square, up the stairs, there is a square building.
Council Chamber!
This is one of the core buildings of the Lingtai Sword Sect, whenever there is a major event, the head Lin Zhongliu will gather the two deputy heads and the nine elders to discuss affairs here, and then make decisions.
Two days ago, Lin Zhangmen and others had gathered in the hall, closed the door, and discussed affairs.
Today is the third day, but the doors of the hall are still tightly closed, showing no sign of opening.
"What happened?"
"I don't know, but something must have happened, and it's a big deal!"
The disciples secretly inquired about each other, but did not get any definite answers. People with a keen sense of smell have already felt a heavy sense of oppression that the mountain rain is coming, and they are nervous and a little excited.
Life is a Lingtai person, death is a sword ghost!
Rusi's belief has long been rooted in the heart and cannot be shaken. Some radical disciples even couldn't wait to fight with foreign enemies.
What the disciples didn't know was that for the sake of war and peace, the council hall at this moment had become a pot of porridge.
