An inch of autumn rain, an inch of autumn.

The early morning drizzle is misty, not like the spring rain or the summer rain, but it is dripping and dripping.

The simple wooden door was gently pushed open, like a ray of morning light, and in an instant the light filled the whole room.

The autumn breeze was slightly cool, Bai Yun took a deep breath, the refreshing autumn mood was like a majestic river tide pouring into his heart and lungs, and the corners of his mouth involuntarily rose slightly.

Last night, just as the boy was about to turn off the lights and fall asleep, there was a knock at the door, which turned out to be a late night visit from the master and his wife.

After Bai Yun welcomed the two into the house, Xu Jing took out a folded ingot-blue robe, smoothed out the folds and put it flat on the wooden table, and said with a warm smile: "Bai Yun, you are going down the mountain tomorrow, the master saw that you practiced swords on weekdays, the sun and rain, and the clothes were already too old to look good, so I helped you make a dress these days, so that you can wear it when you go down the mountain tomorrow." ”

Bai Yun's eyes suddenly red, looking at the beautifully handmade robe on the table, I don't know how much time it took to tailor, there was an indescribable warmth and steadfastness that carried away the whole mind, he has been an orphan without relatives since he was a child, since he worshiped Li Feng and Xu Jing under the Feilai Peak Sect, he treated him like blood thicker than water, although Li Feng did not smile on weekdays, but in fact, he was very concerned about his homework in private, and this deep hope can only be realized when he is in it.

Bai Yun once asked Mo Tianxiang what his home was, and the young Taoist priest with a bleak background answered the word Jixia without thinking about it, and now Bai Yun has also found the answer.

Feilaifeng is home.

Bai Yun knelt on the ground with a puff, and two lines of hot tears crossed his cheeks: "Master and Master's kindness, Bai Yun can't repay it." ”

Xu Jing was pleased, and helped Bai Yun up again and again and said, "What are you doing, stupid boy? It's not life and death, hurry up." ”

Bai Yun was so stubborn that he couldn't pull back the ten cows, knelt on the ground without saying a word, Xu Jing looked out the window and said, "Look, if Xin'er sees it, I'll have to laugh at you again, don't hurry up." ”

Bai Yun couldn't stop sobbing, slowly raised his head to look at Li Feng and Xu Jing, his heart was full of mixed feelings, and he was willing to stand up after a long time.

"Okay, it's not too early, don't disturb Bai Yun's rest. Li Feng stroked his beard and left the room first.

"Bai Yun, then the master and the master will go back first, you have a good rest tonight. Xu Jing pointed to the open window again and said, "It's cold, close the window smaller, don't catch a cold." With that, Xu Jing also followed Li Feng out of the room.

Therefore, the boy almost stayed awake all night, got up and freshened up before dawn, and tied up his hair with a green cloth turban, bronzed skin, strong body, long robe and black hair, and exuded a burst of heroic spirit between his eyebrows, which was quite chivalrous.

The boy lifted the shroud, squinted and looked at the bamboo bookbox leaning against the threshold, the bamboo bookbox revealed a bear head with a vermilion mark on the eyebrows, the little monster kept looking at it for fear that the boy would disappear in a smoke, the boy smiled helplessly, and carried the bamboo bookbox with Qiankun inside and walked towards the meditation hall.

Li Feng and the others were already waiting in the meditation hall.

When everyone saw the young man's dress, they were all amazed, the little junior brother who was usually dedicated to sword practice, put on a robe and combed his hair in a bun was so heroic, even Li Feng, who was usually silent and silent, had a glimmer of brilliance in his eyes.

Li Feng stood with his back to the wall at the top of the Meditation Hall, and behind him was a huge Dao character.

"Study, Baiyun, today you will fly to the peak and go down the mountain on behalf of me to eliminate evil, remember not to waste your practice, persevere, you will definitely drip through the stone to achieve great success, all things know and act together, chivalrous and righteous, hoe the strong and help the weak, do the way for the sky, kill the demons, don't be mistaken by the world, the road is straight, if you take a detour, as a teacher, you will personally cut off your martial road. Li Feng bowed slightly, not angry, but mighty.

"The disciple will obey the master's orders!" Lin Xueshu and Bai Yun knelt down at the same time and replied in unison.

"Learn books, the mountain is the mortal world, and it is easy to resist the temptation before Baiyun enters the world, so you have to mention and take care of him. Xu Jing said with a gentle face.

"The disciple received the order. Lin Xueshu replied.

"Let's go, it's not too early. Li Feng waved his hand.

Bai Yun and Li Xuelin bowed deeply to Li Feng, and after saying goodbye to everyone, they set off for Sanqing Peak to join the rest of the Jixia disciples who had come down the mountain this time.

Two figures swept past the forest of Feilai Peak, one after the other.

Bai Yun was shocked to find that Lin Xueshu's figure was as sharp as the wind, and he tried his best to be thrown away by Li Xuelin for a distance. Whenever he has doubts about kendo on weekdays, Bai Yun will take the initiative to ask this knowledgeable senior brother, and Lin Xueshu will also know everything and answer him carefully one by one, and after seeing Lin Xueshu's light skills with his own eyes, Bai Yun has great respect for this senior brother.

The two of them swept all the way, and finally came to the continuous winding road that was rumored to be paved with 10,000 blue bricks.

"Senior Brother Lin, what about the others?" Bai Yun asked curiously when he looked around and saw no human figures.

Lin Xueshu's eyes fell on the blue brick mountain road looming in the clouds and mist, pointed to the bottom of the mountain and said, "They are under the mountain." ”

For the winding and headless blue brick road in front of him, Bai Yun still remembers it vividly, remembering that when he first went up the mountain to listen to the palm teaching, he had heard the senior sister Bixiu speak, but whoever goes up to the Sanqing Peak, take this Panlong Road must go step by step, otherwise it is a great disrespect to Jixia, this is the rule of Jixia, but Jixia is famous for its high mountains and rich things, how long does this bottomless Panlong stone ladder have to go to the end? If you can't catch up with other Jixia disciples, it will be a big trouble to delay the time to go down the mountain.

Lin Xueshu saw through Bai Yun's mind and said with a smile: " Little junior brother, don't panic first, let's Jixia this Panlong Road from the mountain to the bottom of the mountain the whole journey of 800 plates, a total of 10,000 stone steps, the distance of each stone ladder is almost the same, it was the ancestors in the Jixia Mountain to take stones to build, it took 3,650 days to build by hand, it is my Jixia meteorological context is of great significance, so the successive generations of masters have set up the rules that Panlong Road can only go step by step, this rule is not only the respect for the ancestors, but also reminds our Jixia disciples that everything is difficult at the beginning, and the cultivation of Taoism and martial arts must be down-to-earth and gradual in order to accumulate water into an abyss。 ”

After Bai Yun listened to Lin Xueshu's explanation, his face was full of disbelief expressions, such a majestic and mighty Panlong Road was actually built by the ancestor with the strength of one person, and the ancestor surnamed Xu was really worthy of being the originator of Jixia. The predecessors planted trees, the descendants took advantage of the coolness, and the Jixia faction produced many talents after Xu Zu, so many capable people are no wonder that the Jixia can survive for a long time and become a giant in the world.

"From Feilai Peak all the way here, we have reached the halfway point of Jixia Mountain, and we only need to walk another 5,000 stone stairs to the foot of the mountain. Lin Xueshu continued to say in detail.

"Okay, junior brother, don't be dumbfounded, it's not too early, let's go. After that, Lin Xueshu walked to Panlong Road and down the mountain.

Bai Yun also walked and asked curiously, "Senior brother, have you ever gone down the mountain?"

Lin Xueshu nodded indifferently.

"Are you going to Jiangnan too?" Bai Yun asked excitedly.

Lin Xueshu shook his head: "I went to the capital." ”

"The capital?" Bai Yun wondered.

"The capital is where the emperor lives. Lin Xueshu paused and said: "Chang'an"

Two people walk to the foot of the mountain, the eye is a tall granite archway, the archway four pillars, three, the fifth floor, the four corners of the stone square overlap, no abrupt momentum, the overall appearance of a simple and majestic momentum, the forehead of the archway, the fang, the diaphragm, the pillar are respectively carved with cranes and clouds, the dragon fish and the eagle dragon, there are the fish opposite under the fang, the curly tail supports. The top decoration swallows the ridge, and the eaves are embellished with various floral patterns, the subject matter is rich, the engraving is exquisite, and the shape is beautiful. The forehead of the middle square is engraved with the four words of "governing the world and the hair", the gesture is timeless, and it is strong and powerful.

There is also a couplet on both sides of the archway, so bold and dare to come to see me, turn around quickly and don't hurt people.

"Little junior brother, do you know the deep meaning of this couplet?" Lin Xueshu asked coldly.

Bai Yun shook his head in reply.

Lin Xueshu had no intention of showing off his knowledge, but said concisely: "After this archway, you will enter the mortal world." ”

Lin Xueshu, who is knowledgeable from the past and the present, said: "This archway of ruling the world is the gateway of our Jixia, which was given by the founding emperor of the Great Song Dynasty of the old dynasty, and it is also the boundary between Jixia Mountain and the mortal world. ”

For some reason, when passing through the archway of Zhishixia, the sense of oppression like the head of the mountain fell on the shoulders of the white clouds.

"Senior Brother Lin!" In the distance, a handsome man with a radiant look and eyes like a star beckoned to the two.

Bai Yun looked for prestige and was surprised back and forth, there were five people standing behind the man, Bai Yun's gaze was impartial and did not fall on the white-clothed body with a hint of subtlety, but the white-clothed woman frowned, looked at each other coldly and then looked away.

"Senior Brother Qi, I'm really sorry to keep you waiting for a long time. Lin Xueshu surrendered his hand and asked for sin.

Bai Yun's heart was hot, the handsome man with eyes like a star was Qi Yuzheng, one of Kong Daoren's proud protégés, and Zhong Wanli's senior brother.

"White clouds. A familiar voice sounded in Bai Yun's ears.

Bai Yun turned his head and looked back, he was surprised, Shicai's whole mind was on Bai Yi's body, and he didn't pay attention to Zhang Zishan's existence at all.

Qi Yuzheng greeted Lin Xueshu for a while, and led everyone to set off, and among the disciples who went down the mountain, there were two Feilai Feng, two ethereal, two people under the seat of Kong Daoren, and a total of seven people including Zhang Zishan.

At the moment when he stepped out of the Jixia Mountain, Bai Yun looked back at the archway of Jixia and still didn't quite understand the meaning of the couplet.

When everyone walked away, a figure in the same peach wood pan-haired blue robe came out behind the archway, looking at the people who were gradually moving away, stopped, and did not know whether they were stopping to look at it, or thoughtful.
