Chapter 13 Revisiting the Old Place
Qingyun's second junior brother, Qing Feng, took Murong Ziyun and the other four people around several mountains and came to a mountain.
Several people came to the foot of the mountain, in front of a huge stone gate, and stopped.
There is a picture of Tai Chi carved on the door, and there is a pavilion next to it, where two white-bearded old men are playing against each other at a stone table.
They were dressed in black and white, and their beards and eyebrows were gray. Qingfeng walked to the pavilion and stood respectfully in front of them to report: "Report to Uncle Tai, on the orders of my master, take the finalists into the underground palace for testing." also ask the two uncles to open the underground palace. ”
One of the white-clothed elders raised his head, glanced at Qing Feng, was a little displeased, and said dissatisfiedly: "You kid is really good at finding trouble, don't you see that I and your uncle are having a good time?"
Qingfeng knew that the two old-timers were old naughty boys, and they would only be serious when they played chess, and they didn't like to be bothered, so Qingfeng hurriedly made amends: "Uncle Taishi, you dissipate your anger, don't be like an apprentice." Isn't this the old man's family that the ancestor wants to recruit apprentices? The apprentices and grandsons brought them to break through the level. ”
"Oh, is there such a thing?" The old man in white looked confused: "Old ghost, the old man is going to recruit our uncle again?"
The black-clothed elder said impatiently: "You old fool, the old man, the old man, only gave you the task I gave in the morning, and came here to guard the important land." You're getting older and more confused. ”
The old man in white raised his head again and said with a smile: "Haha, okay, someone will play with our two old guys in the future." We're suffocating. Alas, it would be nice if Li Yu's stupid boy was still here. Every time he comes, he brings me good food, plays chess with me, it's much better than you old thing, old win me, are you interesting? My Yu'er, this damn it-"
The old man in white stopped talking and sobbed.
The black-clothed elder cried instead, completely ignoring his identity: "You old thing, you keep mentioning these sad things. It hurt me to lose face in front of these juniors. With that, wipe away your tears with your sleeve.
The old man in white asked, "Is that girl Wan'er here?" and she won't come to see us two old fellows. ”
Qingfeng thought to himself, and continued to entangle with these two old naughty boys, who might have to delay how much work he would lose, and hurriedly replied: "Uncle Shi, she is here, and she told me that when the ceremony is over, she will come to visit the two of you." Let the disciple hurry up and complete the task, so that I can follow you two and take the aged wine she brewed. ”
The two old men burst into tears and laughed, and the old man in white said excitedly, "Then you don't go quickly." ”
Qingfeng deliberately said aggrievedly: "Uncle Taishi, aren't you waiting for your old man to open the mountain gate?"
"Oh, say it earlier, you just don't know what to prioritize. Old ghost, open the door. The white-clothed elder said.
The two men each took out a chess piece from their waists. Only two "fluttering" sounds were heard, and two black and white chess pieces flew towards the stone gate, just landing in the black and white depression of the Taiji diagram.
The Taijitu began to rotate, and after a few rapid turns, it stopped, only to hear a "boom", and the stone gate parted from the middle.
Seeing the stone door opening, Qingfeng leaned over to the ear of the white-clothed elder and whispered. From time to time, he had to squint at these children with his eyes, and the elder in white glanced at the direction suggested by Qingfeng a few times.
The white-clothed elder nodded and said with a smile: "Feng'er, let's go, that dustless old boy has arrived early." Ha ha. ”
The black-clothed elder was leaning his ears over at this time, eavesdropping on what they were saying.
Qingfeng immediately took his leave and led them into the underground palace.
There was a quarrel between the two old men: "Old fellow, what are you whispering? Tell me quickly, and let me be happy."
Haha, I won't tell you -
The two of them quarreled with each other.
He led the five people down the stone steps to the depths of the underground palace.
Entering the dungeon, Qingfeng asked them to wait on the platform in the middle, and turned around and left.
Ziyun observed the surrounding environment, this underground palace is built according to the topography of the mountain range, and there are light openings all around, so people will not feel dim in it.
The middle platform is engraved with a Tai Chi diagram, and it is surrounded by eight doors, because the master has told him about Tai Chi and Bagua, he knows that this is set up according to the Bagua diagram.
The eight gates represent the eight hexagrams of Qian, Kun, Zhen, Xun, Kan, Li, Gen and Dui, and symbolize the eight natural attributes of heaven, earth, thunder, wind, water, fire, mountain and Ze, implying that all things in heaven and earth are endless, and the cycle is endless.
Ziyun had heard the master talk about this underground palace and knew that this was a Wudang important place.
All Wudang disciples who go down the mountain must go through many tests here before they can be released.
After Ziyun observed, he noticed that the other children were also looking around curiously, they were a little nervous and a little curious.
The people who entered this dungeon were all slightly older children, and there was a female baby inside. There was no one around, just the five of them, and everyone started talking to each other.
Qingfeng came out of the underground palace, and the stone gate closed with a "clang".
He said goodbye to the two uncles, but the two old urchins ignored him and continued to quarrel, even fighting and pulling each other's beards.
Qingfeng knew that they were making trouble for a while, and he would reconcile, and if he stayed for a while, he would not be able to get out.
So after saying goodbye to the two, he immediately performed light skills and flew towards the square.
Qingfeng smiled secretly: Both of them are a lot older, and they are still like children, are they "old and young" as people say?
Qingfeng came to the square in a blink of an eye, remembered the explanation of the two seniors, hesitated for a moment, and walked to the stand where Uncle Shi was.
Taking advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention, he quietly walked behind Uncle Shi and said softly, "Uncle Shi, take a step to speak." ”
Mu Yunwan looked back and saw that it was Qingfeng's nephew, so she got up and took a detour to the back.
The two walked to a secluded place, and Qingfeng saluted Mu Yunwan and said, "Uncle Shi, when my nephew sent them to the underground palace just now, I met Yuan Tong and Yuan Ling, the two old men are very worried about you, and they are also worried about the wine brewed by Uncle Shi. ”
Speaking of this, Qingfeng lowered his head and laughed. After Mu Yunwan heard this, she was very happy.
Since the death of her husband, every time Mu Yunwan came to Wudang Mountain, in addition to paying a visit to her senior brother or a real person, she hurried down the mountain without stopping much, and the two old men hadn't seen each other for a long time.
It's not that Mu Yunwan doesn't want to go, the two old men are very fond of themselves and their husbands, and they take good care of them like their own children.
Just going to visit the two old people, lest she touch the scene and remind her of the past, which can only make her more painful.
Her husband has passed away for many years, and Mu Yunwan doesn't want to think about those old things.
Mu Yunwan hesitated for a moment and said to Qingfeng: "When the game is over, Uncle Shi will visit them again." ”
Qingfeng was about to say goodbye, hesitated for a moment, and whispered a few words.
"Oh, I see, you can get busy. ”
Before leaving, Qingfeng told his uncle that at noon, the master invited his uncle to Yuxu Palace for dinner.
He then walked to the square and replied to his senior brother Qingyun.
Mu Yunwan was still lingering in place, and in the face of the invitation of the two old men, she couldn't refuse.
Mu Yunwan made up her mind and tried her best to control her emotions.
After thinking about it, she walked to the stands and said to the maid on the side: "I'm going to visit my seniors, Yun'er, you and Xiaoqing go to the guest room to bring two jars of wine in the box, and a jar of pickled dishes." ”
Yun'er and Xiaoqing said together: "Obey." ”
The two of them turned and left, going to the guest room to get something.
After a while, I brought it up.
Mu Yunwan took the wine and dishes, explained to the two of them, and went straight to Jinding Mountain.
Along the way, there were Wudang disciples guarding within a few steps.
Over the years, Wudang has accepted many new disciples, although some disciples don't recognize Mu Yunwan, but they know the waist card on this lady's body, and they know that she is an extremely important person in Wudang, so they don't stop it.
It's just that he is dressed gorgeously and carries wine and food, unlike the Wudang people, some disciples feel strange. Today's Wudang ceremony, the Jinding area is a forbidden place, if you don't ask, you will be guilty of negligence.
Murong Wan was halfway through the distance and was stopped.
"This donor, who are you going to bring food to, do you want me to help?" stepped forward to interrogate the apprentice of Zixiao Palace.
"Hehe, I'm also a disciple of Wudang, don't be commensurate with the donor. It's just that now that he has gone down the mountain, he was invited to watch the apprenticeship ceremony this time. This is my waist card, please check it out. I'll go to the underground palace to meet the black and white elders, and I don't need help. ”
The disciple took the waist card handed by Murong Wan, and after confirming that it was correct, he returned it, and then bowed down and said, "Uncle Shi, don't blame, the disciple is rude, and I ask Uncle Shi to forgive me." ”
Mu Yunwan smiled: "It's okay, those who don't know are not guilty." Moreover, the duty lies, during the ceremony, when it is so, so as not to derelict in duty. ”
With that, pick up your things and move on.
The surrounding disciples came over and joked: You are a nerd, you know the waist card, and you stepped forward to stop it, Uncle Shi didn't blame you, you are lucky. She is our honored guest in Wudang Mountain. If you are in terms of seniority, Master Tongde will also be one point shorter.
There were also disciples who were knocking on his head. The disciple looked innocent and begged for mercy: "Senior brothers, spare your life, senior brother knows that he is wrong. ”
He desperately protected his head, and then went to protect his face.
was making trouble, and a senior brother reminded: It's morning after the horse, and the second senior brother will come to inspect it, so these people stopped fighting.
