Chapter XXVIII
I don't know how long I thought about it, but I heard that a few senior brothers in the square were practicing spells. Suddenly, I saw a purple streamer slowly stopping outside the main hall, and I looked at it and saw that it was my senior sister. Ten years have passed, Mei Qian'er is twenty-seven, but her appearance is still the same as before, with a slender figure, a pair of big eyes, long eyelashes, a towering and straight nose bridge, long black hair is coiled up, and a purple robe, but it is more majestic than before.
As soon as he fell, he saw Lu Yu's look of disappointment, and hurriedly woke him up. When he came back to his senses, he saw that it was Senior Sister Mei, so he hurriedly put away the music score in his hand, bent down and saluted. In these years, Senior Sister Mei has treated herself very well, and if she has any trivial matters in the mountains, she will help her solve them one by one, just like a big sister, taking care of every junior brother in Qixia Peak, and the disciples in the sect respect her very much on weekdays. Senior Sister Mei's personality is also very similar to that of the master, she looks cold and cold, and her temperament is also a little irritable, but she is very considerate and caring for those close to her.
"Senior Brother Lu, why are you here? Didn't you secretly go down the mountain and be caught by the master!"
As soon as these words fell, he turned his head and saw Yun Yao snuggling on the ground, and his face changed suddenly. Hurriedly stepped forward to pick up Yun Yao who was in a coma, checked the pulse, and was relieved to see that the true qi in the body was running smoothly. He turned around and asked, "Senior Brother Lu, what happened to you at the bottom of the mountain, why is Senior Sister so stunned by people for such cultivation!"
Lu Yu scratched his hair, and he didn't know where to start, until now he was still a little confused, and he didn't know what was going on, so he said, "Well, this is ...... We secretly went to Lingzhou City, but when I returned to the inn at night, my sister was robbed, and then I met a mysterious group of people in black. I don't know any other details. ”
Seeing Lu Yu's stupid face, he didn't ask more, just stood there quietly and waited.
Not long after, the door of the main hall opened, and there was an angry face chasing the sun real person, Mei Qian'er saw it and hurriedly stepped forward to salute and said, "I've seen the real person chasing the sun!"
Yan Chaiyang didn't pay attention to it, just glared at Lu Yu behind him viciously, snorted coldly, and only heard a sword roar, and the person turned into a sword qi and flew towards Lingyang Peak.
Ji Xueqing also walked out after him, with a worried face. The two of them greeted each other, and seeing that the master's face was gloomy, Mei Qian'er asked, "Is Master's trip smooth?"
"Well, it's okay! Qian'er, you bring Yao'er back to Qixia Peak first!"
Lu Yu was inevitably a little nervous after hearing this, and Mei Qian'er also pleaded: "Master, Senior Brother Lu is pure and generous in nature, although he went down the mountain privately this time, he will not be expelled from the Tianshan Gate Wall!"
"Who said that I would expel him from the division, although he violated the door rules by going down the mountain without permission, but fortunately nothing major happened! But the door rules cannot be violated after all, Lu Yu, you will follow me to Sihui Valley and be banned for half a year!"
Lu Yu was secretly happy in his heart after hearing this, as long as he was not expelled from the division, he was willing to accept any punishment, not to mention that he was only banned for half a year. Mei Qian'er also breathed a sigh of relief, and took Yun Yao into a streamer and flew towards Qixia Peak.
There were only two people left outside the main hall, and Lu Yu hurriedly knelt down and said, "Thank you, Master!"
"The reason why the teacher punished you to go to the Sihui Valley is to let you forget all the distractions in your heart, keep your mind, and devote yourself to the Tao. ”
This hit the nail on his head, nodded his head, and asked, "Master, where is this Sihui Valley? Why have I never heard the senior brothers mention it?"
Ji Xueqing looked at the mountains behind the Cangyun Palace, in the corner of the east side, raised his hand and pointed, and said, "That's where Sihui Valley is located!"
Following what the master pointed out, he looked at a high mountain to the east of Cangyun Peak, or because it was too far away, he couldn't see the location of that peak with his naked eyes. Calm down, with perception, you can vaguely see that the high mountain deviates from the main mountain of Cangyun Peak, standing alone in the corner of the east side. The top of the mountain is full of clouds and mist of white flowers, and you can't see the true face of the mountaintop.
Before he could take a closer look, he found that the master had already walked several miles away, and hurriedly followed. Along the way, Lu Yu was asking the master about the origin of Sihui Valley, and Ji Xueqing also patiently explained to him.
I see, because this Sihui Valley is located in a remote area, the terrain is too high, and the roads in the mountains are also dilapidated, so there are very few disciples who practice there on weekdays. Because it is far away from the sect, it is a quiet place, and there is no hustle and bustle, so the heads of the past generations set it up as the valley of Sihui, and let those disciples who have made mistakes go and repent behind closed doors. Although it is a place to punish people, there are also many ancestors who have comprehended profound mental techniques and swordsmanship. Legend has it that the patriarch of the mountain is in the Sihui Valley to study the peerless exercises, and then set up the door rules, the heads of the past dynasties must go to the Sihui Valley before taking over the retreat, wash the seven emotions and six desires, and let go of the mortal past before succeeding.
The mountains were foggy, and the air was mixed with a thick water vapor. The sun that should have been in the sky was also obscured by the sea of clouds, and it could not shed a trace of brilliance. I followed the master through this mountain for almost an hour, and at first I didn't think so, but in the second half, I found that the road connecting the Sihui Valley was dilapidated, and if I was not careful, I might slide down from this halfway point of the mountain to the abyss at any time, and the gravel on the mountain peak would also roll down from time to time. Lu Yu followed closely behind the master all the way, very cautious. The mountain road became steeper and steeper, and two or three people could have walked side by side, but at the back, only one person could walk through.
But then again, this Sihui Valley is also a forbidden place of the Tianshan Sect, but along the way, I didn't see a single disciple guarding here. Although Lu Yu had doubts, he didn't say it, he had already lost face to his master today, and he wanted to think about it here, if he accidentally fell from this mountainside into the abyss, he would really be useless.
I walked carefully along the way, and after walking for a long time, I could be regarded as reaching a corner next to Cangyun Peak, and I saw that the master had stopped. Then he stepped forward to take a look, only to see that in front of him was a dilapidated suspension bridge, the suspension bridge was 100 meters long, and the suspension bridge connected to a high mountain opposite, and above that high mountain was the valley of Sihui.
"Go, walk across this drawbridge, and on the top of the opposite mountain, you will return to the valley. ”
Lu Yu walked to the side of the suspension bridge and looked at it, the hundred-meter-long suspension bridge was already dilapidated, many wooden planks had holes, and the entire bridge body was also crumblingly suspended between the two mountains, and below it was an abyss. Seeing this, Lu Yu took a deep breath, gritted his teeth, and stepped onto the suspension bridge without looking back. The path of cultivation is already very dangerous, if you want to protect the cherished person, you must have the determination not to be afraid of death, you have been doing nothing for so long, if you are blocked by this suspension bridge, then you will no longer have the face to face the dead mother. As soon as he thought of this, he stepped out of his front foot and stepped on it, and the whole bridge shook with a while, clutching the rope on the side, and slowly and leisurely walked towards the opposite bank. Ji Xueqing also stared closely, for fear that if he was not careful, he could fly to rescue him in time.
In less than half a pillar of incense, he arrived at the opposite bank, stood firm, hammered his tense calves, and took a breath of mountain morning air. Straightened up and looked up at the top of the mountain, and found that there was still half a day to go. When he turned around, he found that there was an invisible wall of qi blocking the way back, and he knocked it with his hand to realize that it was an enchantment.
Ji Xueqing on the other side breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that he was safe and sound, and said: "Lu Yu, this mountain is shrouded by an enchantment, and only the head of the sect and the head of the whole sect can break it, so you can rest assured that you can cultivate your mind here!"
Lu Yu also exerted his strength, and shouted, "Master, don't worry! Disciple must remember the teachings!" As soon as the words fell, I saw a book fly in from outside the barrier. Hurriedly stepped forward and stretched out his hand to take it, looked down, and the classic book wrote "Pure Heart Mantra". In addition to teaching himself the truth of being a human being, the master has never passed on any Taoist classics to himself, and today the master actually passed on my "Pure Heart Mantra", just wanted to thank him, but the master was gone, and saw a wisp of blue smoke flying overhead, and a voice spread in the sky: "Lu Yu, the Pure Heart Mantra is the secret method of my Qi Sect, although it is not a profound Dao method, but it is the most suitable for you at the moment! You will meditate here for half a year, and you will test you again as a teacher in half a year, don't let down as a teacher!"
After hearing this, Lu Yu had mixed feelings in his heart, a little happy but more guilty, unable to tell and couldn't tell, so he knelt on the ground and kowtowed a few times towards the place where the master left, and muttered, "Thank you, Master!" Then he got up and walked towards the top of the mountain. Although it is said that it is at the mountainside, the valley mouth of this Sihui Valley is on the top of the mountain, and it is still half a day's walk to look up.
Looking at the sky, a dazzling beam of sunlight sprinkled down, thinking that it was already after noon, the mist in the air gradually turned into water vapor and sprinkled under the shade of the trees, accompanied by the mountain stream, a coolness came from the forest. There was another breeze, and it was very pleasant. Slowly, a hint of sleepiness came in, Lu Yu shook his head, and hurried towards the top of the mountain without stopping.
The sky was gradually falling, and the top of the mountain was still as silent as ever, except for the sound of a waterfall and the occasional sound of beasts. The breeze blew, the white clouds in the sky drifted by, and the grass on the top of the mountain fluttered, and everything was so peaceful.
When the last rays of sunset shone on the valley mouth, I suddenly saw a mysterious old man sitting on a big rock outside the valley mouth, the old man's white hair was scattered and hung down, the wisps of white hair covered his face, but it could not cover the wrinkles and a long scar on his face, and the white robe around him was also stained and became shabby, and his eyes were slightly closed and sat there motionless. A cool breeze blew in late autumn, and the two strands of white hair in front of the old man's temples swayed a few times, giving people a feeling of heroic twilight and vicissitudes of life under the reflection of dusk. His eyes suddenly opened, turning into a puff of white smoke, and he could no longer be found.
