Chapter 42 Exit
Heaven and earth have the difference between yin and yang, mountains and rivers have regional separation, autumn goes to winter, spring comes with summer, and the Shenzhou continent has endless borders. The Lechuan River has become more and more turbulent in recent days, and the 100,000 mountains in Miaojiang are even more in danger, and the dark places of the rivers and lakes are even more difficult to prevent. In the three months since the Sword Meeting, although the two Lich Clans seem to be peaceful, they have no idea that the crisis has already touched Middle-earth......
But Lu Yu, who has been confined on the valley for half a year, can know all kinds of changes under the mountain, this night sitting cross-legged on the boulder outside the cave, looking at the mountains in the distance, I can't help but feel a lot of emotion, there are still a few hours before the end of confinement, but I can't sleep, since the old man left for three months, he has forgotten what it feels like to communicate with people, and he has forgotten what the world outside the barrier is like, and he took a breath of the cool air of the night and settled.
The sun in May is different from that of early spring, and there is already a glimmer of light on the sea level in the distance, but it will take some time to illuminate the entire mountain. The fleeting morning became very slow at this moment, and there were too many distractions in my heart, so I jumped off the boulder and walked back to the cave. I secretly thought that I would leave this valley in a few hours, and I hope that I will never come up again in the future, and I wonder if the old man will come back?
When he had nothing to do, he cleaned the cave, thinking that if there were still disciples who came up to be punished in the future, he could save some effort. He piled up the dry grass and firewood on the dry ground on the side, beat the ashes next to the fire, and finally walked to the stone wall where the inscription was carved and knelt down, and kowtowed several times before leaving with peace of mind.
It was noon when I walked out of the cave, and the sun was hidden in the sea of clouds. Today's climate is quite cool, after taking a few breaths of fresh air, I suddenly sensed something, walked to the edge of the cliff, knelt on the ground and called, "Master!" Not surprisingly, a figure flashed after a few breaths, it was Xue Qing Zhenren!
As soon as Ji Xueqing's front foot landed, she helped her up, pressed her fingers on Lu Yu's pulse, and said approvingly after a while: "Well, that's good." The breath is stable, and the real air flow in the body is free, it seems that you have a good control of the distracting thoughts in your heart in the past half a year!"
It was the first time in his life that he heard the master praise himself, and he was overjoyed, and he took out an object from his arms, presented it with both hands, and said gratefully: "Half a year ago, the master passed on the Pure Heart Mantra to his disciples, and now he has returned this secret book in good condition when he first enters the speculum!"
took the slightly worn cheats, looked at the cover and couldn't help but sigh: "Coincidentally, when you first started, I was meditating in the incense tower. I specially took this object from the spiritual seat of your master Yu Xiaozhen, and at that time I relied on the Pure Heart Mantra to heal my wounds. And ten years later, I will pass this secret book to you, and time flies so fast, and now the righteous path of the world has also been transferred to the disciples of your generation. I see that the mission of this mind-purifying mantra has been accomplished, and in a few days I will return it to the incense tower!"
After three or two sighs, he looked around at the mountains in the distance and said, "Okay, the half-year closure has ended, and it's not too early to go with me to the Cangyun Palace!"
"Cangyun Hall, Master, don't we go back to Qixia Peak?"
"Today, there is an important matter to discuss in the sect, and all the disciples with qualifications have gone to the Cangyun Hall to discuss matters. Your senior sister and sister, the four senior uncles also arrived first, and you also went with me. ”
Lu Yu was a little at a loss after hearing this, he thought that he could go back to the back mountain to live a carefree life, but he was going to the Cangyun Palace. I was already a joke in the sect, wouldn't I become the laughing stock of the whole sect today! Just as I wanted to refuse politely, the master had already drawn a gap in the enchantment and stood there waiting for him. Finally, he took a deep breath of the air on the valley, turned around and swept his eyes at the valley, and although he remembered in his heart, he left without looking back.
Fortunately, Sihui Valley is on a corner of Cangyun Peak, and this trip to the main hall is only a half-hour mountain road. Although the journey was short, the master seemed quite impatient along the way, and it seemed that there was really something big going to happen in the sect today, and he was inexplicably anxious and excited. Three steps and two steps came to the side of the suspension bridge, Ji Xueqing suddenly stopped, as if remembering something, and muttered: "I forgot to pass you a magic weapon, and I will be able to drive things to fly in the future!"
Lu Yu waved his hand in some surprise and said, "Master, it's okay, I just walk on the mountain on weekdays." ”
Ji Xueqing wanted to speak and stopped, grabbed Lu Yu's sleeve robe and flew towards the front mountain. In the past, the three peaks in the distance at the mouth of the valley were all the same, and they were no longer interesting, but it was a different taste to fly in the sky and look into the distance. With the cultivation of his Pure Heart Mantra, even if his eyes are slightly closed, he can perceive the surrounding scene and the breath of living beings, it seems that the penance of the past half a year has still yielded results, and he can't help but secretly rejoice.
The two of them landed outside the main hall, and their front feet did not touch the ground, and the bells and drums outside the hall could be heard in mid-air, and the sound of cranes came from time to time. A beam of sunlight in the sky shines directly above the main hall through the sea of clouds, which is an auspicious omen, and it can be described as a place full of spiritual energy.
Before his feet stood firmly, a disciple outside the main hall said, "Qi Xia Peak is in charge of teaching Xue Qingzhen!"
He sighed and looked up at the main hall, hundreds of eyes gathered, and at this time, the sides of the main hall were already full of people. On the left hand side is the disciple of the Sword Sect wearing the Danqing Dao robe, and on the right hand side is the disciple of Qi Xia Peak in the light blue Dao robe, and the people who came today are the proud protégés of the four elders, the leaders of the Qi Sect. Looking around again, today's Cangyun Hall is so angry.
He bowed to the few senior brothers he knew, and walked towards the main hall with the steps of the master. As soon as he walked less than ten steps, he saw Senior Sister Yun Yao rushing towards him, the two of them hadn't seen each other for more than half a year, and it was inevitable that they would have a lot to say when they saw each other today. The junior sister changed into an azure robe today, and the long hair that was scattered on weekdays was also coiled up, and the jasper hairpin passed through the top, which was much more formal than before and had a hint of mature temperament.
Lu Yuke knew that the battle at this time was not an occasion for greetings and jokes, and he just wanted to dodge, but he heard his senior sister exclaim: "Senior brother, the master has agreed to let the two of us go down the mountain to practice!"
Before he could react, he heard Chi Xiaozi in the main hall ask, "Ji Zhangjiao, I still don't know who the last disciple of your Qi Sect is?"
Ji Xueqing walked up to the main hall, bowed to Xuan Xuzi, and replied: "Everyone, I'm sorry I'm late again, I'm going to Sihui Valley for the sake of a disciple in retreat, Lu Yu!"
As soon as the words were spoken, there was a lot of discussion in the hall. Among the four elders, except for Elder Han, all of them had gloomy faces, and the senior brothers of the same sect were also staring at Lu Yu, as if they had a bad breath in their hearts, and their eyes were also full of jealousy, and most of the discussions came from the Sword Sect.
"Alas, Senior Brother, who is this Lu Yu, how come I have never heard of such a number one person in the Qi Sect?"
"I only heard many years ago that Lu Yu seems to be the last closed disciple of the Xue Qing Sect, and as for other more deeds, I haven't heard of it, and I haven't even seen it in person!"
Lu Yu stood in the crowd on one side, his mouth was wide open, and he was a little at a loss, but fortunately, his senior sister patted himself on the side, and then he eased up. The hand hidden in the sleeve trembled slightly, and he reluctantly walked out and walked towards the front of the hall. was very nervous, and his speech was intermittent: "Eh, eh, uncles, uncles, the real people in charge." I am, yes, Lu Yu!" As soon as he walked out of the crowd and saw the emptiness around him, his heart was even more panicked, and all the eyes present were focused on him in an instant.
I only heard the disciples on the side discuss: "This person is Lu Yu, his clothes are all dusty and unkempt, why do I look like a chopping wood in the mountains?"
Only then did I realize that I had lived in the valley for half a year, and I didn't have a change of clothes, and I was really shivering a lot when I was dressed, and I was even more panicked in my heart, and I didn't know where to look.
Chi Xiaozi, who was standing at the front, also looked at it carefully, smiled at Ji Xueqing, and said jokingly: "Ji Zhangjiao is really joking. This trip is dangerous and related to the safety of the righteous path, didn't you give your life in vain by letting this little brother go?"
Even Guang Jianzi, who was not good at words, persuaded him: "What Senior Brother Chixiaozi said is timely, I think Lu Xian's nephew's cultivation is quite shallow, so let's cultivate on the mountain for another ten years and then go down the mountain to practice!"
Yan Jizi was still worried about the last sword conference, but he smiled and said: "The two senior brothers don't have to defend it, in my opinion, she has no one in the Qi Sect, just find a young person to come and make up the number!"
Many senior brothers in the Qi Sect also did not persuade him, after all, what a few people said was not unreasonable, and they all knew how many catties and taels of Senior Brother Lu's cultivation were, and they didn't want to come forward to argue. However, Yun Yao saw that her senior brother was being ridiculed, and her fist clenched even tighter.
Xuan Xuozi saw that there was something wrong with the scene, so he broke the ice and opened his mouth to relieve the siege: "What the elders said is not unreasonable, Senior Sister Ji, I think it's better to change the disciple! After all, this trip is of great significance, and I am afraid of ...... Lu."
Ji Xueqing didn't pay attention to these gossips, and said bluntly: "I believe in Lu Yu!"
