Outside Longjing City, the continuous Yunwu Mountain is majestic and magnificent. In the Yunwu Mountain, there are two major sects, the Yunshu Sword Sect and the Fog Law Spirit Sect, and the two sects are famous all over the world and are the bull's ears of the rivers and lakes in southern Xinjiang.

In early summer every year, there is an endless stream of pedestrians at the foot of Yunwu Mountain, most of whom come for the two mountain gate elections. To say that people in this world seek Taoism and practice martial arts, or for immortality, or for wealth and glory, all these things are in one word.

In front of the mountain gate of Yunshu Sword Sect stands a giant sword with a height of twenty zhang, and a line of large characters visible to the naked eye is engraved on the sword, "Three-foot sword is peaceful and enmity, Qingyun Zhi breaks the jade and blue sky." The penmanship is vigorous and powerful, Ling Ran is out of the dust, and the person who left the words is Lu Beiyou, the founding patriarch of the Yunshu Sword Sect three hundred years ago.

A long queue formed under the mountain gate. This time, Lu Yunfan, the deputy sect master of the Yunshu Sword Sect, was in charge of the disciple check-in. Lu Yunfan's temples were slightly white, handsome, dressed in a sword robe, and sat on a high platform.

"Today, my Yunshu Sword Sect has opened the mountain gate and recruited disciples, and all young people with roots and understanding can enter my Yunshu Sword Sect to practice", Lu Yunfan's internal strength was strong, and his voice resounded through the void. He looked at the four old men standing beside him, "I'm tired of the four deacons testing the qualifications of these young people below. ”

Let's say that these four people are the four deacons of the "Tiger", "Bear", "Deer" and "Sheep" of the Yunshu Sword Sect. The four of them were originally brothers, and they were from the same school, and they had a deep relationship, and they all acted together on weekdays.

"Yes. ”

"Anyone who wants to enter my Cloud Book Sword Sect will be measured by the four of us. ”

The square was crowded with people, Zhang Fatian waited quietly, and next to him was an eight-and-a-half-year-old child with his eyes open, looking around.

"Brother Nian, what are the root bones, understanding, spirits, and celestial phenomena", Thirteen said curiously.

Zhang Fatian smiled and touched the child's head, "Thirteen, it's a very powerful thing." ”

Thirteen listened and pouted, "They are definitely not as good as their elder brother." ”

Zhang Fatian smiled, and there was a bit of bitterness in his smile. He was about to say something, but a skyrocketing white light erupted in the square.

"Three-grade root bones, three-grade comprehension, four-grade spirit gods, and first-grade celestial phenomena!", "Tiger, sheep, bear, and deer" The four of them had red faces and red ears, and said in a trembling voice, "This Lu Shen's qualifications are even better than the sect master!"

Let's say that in the center of the square, a simple young man who is eighteen years old sits with an ancient sword in his hand, with sword eyebrows and starry eyes, and he is heroic. The Lu Shen in the mouth of this deacon is him.

The onlookers of the sect disciples exclaimed, "There is still half a year before the sect election, and with the qualifications of this young man in front of him, he may be qualified to compete for the title of that big disciple by then." ”

At this moment, a figure swept down from a height. The person who came was Lu Yunfan.

Lu Shen stood up, bent down slightly and bowed to the visitor, "Uncle, my nephew didn't disappoint you."

"Not bad, not bad", Lu Yunfan stroked his palms and smiled, "Your kid has such a good talent, he should have carved it a long time ago." Come with me, and my uncle will find you a good master. ”

"Thank you, uncle. ”

Lu Yunfan turned to the four deacons and said, "This is my second brother's son, I took him to Jian Lao's place, and this disciple will bother the four deacons for the check-in." ”

"Yes, rest assured, if you can find a hero like Lu Gongzi this time, it will definitely be God bless me Yunshu Sword Sect", Deacon Hu, the leader of the four, said, "My four brothers will definitely find good materials with outstanding qualifications for the sect again." ”

"After this time, I will apply to the sect master and reward the four", Lu Yunfan and Lu Changge left together.

"Thank you, sir. ”

At the corner of the square, Zhang Fatian and Thirteen watched this scene.

"Brother Nian, isn't that Brother Lu who was on the same road with us before", Thirteen's eyes showed a bit of admiration, "I didn't expect Brother Lu to be so powerful, but I think Brother Nian must be more powerful than him." ”

Zhang Fatian looked at the thirteenth who was smiling, and felt a little unbearable. He couldn't bear to break Thirteen's hopes. He Zhang Fatian is just a martial arts mediocrity who is not in the stream.

"Next, Zhang Fatian," Deacon Hu, the leader of the four, shouted at the top of his voice. He was in a good mood, and after today's event, the four of them could be rewarded by the sect.

"Thirteen, you stay here, brother will go back when he goes"

"Hmm", thirteen's clear eyes sparkled. ”

Zhang Fatian walked quickly to the center of the square. Because of Lu Changge's striking demeanor before, the eyes of everyone present were all focused on him. He was eight feet tall, and his green shirt fluttered lightly in the mountain breeze, adding a bit of dust.

"This kid is good-looking and handsome, and when he enters the sect, I, who is a senior sister, will show him the way," said a woman in Tsing Yi.

A bearded man with a black iron heavy sword on his back next to her said disdainfully, "Hmph, with this kid's body like bean sprouts, he can't eat one of my swords." ”

"Niu Man, you really have no grace, no wonder my water show doesn't look down on you", the woman in Tsing Yi said with her beautiful eyes and quipped.

"What did you say!"

"Okay, Qing'er, don't make trouble", the real name of this woman in Tsing Yi is Liu Qing, and there is a woman next to her who is wearing a pink shirt with a male and female sword, which is Shui Xiu.

Shui Xiu's expression was calm, and he said lightly, "Let's see what this person's qualifications are."

Deacon Tiger looked at Zhang Fatian, and a smile appeared on the old man's face, "Since the little brother is the second person to come to the mountain gate, he must also have some talents, can you let the old man open his eyes." ”

Zhang Fatian bowed and said softly, "The seniors praised it falsely, but the younger generations were shallow and didn't dare to show ugliness in front of the seniors." ”

In fact, Deacon Tiger is just in a good mood and quick to speak. The previous Lu Changge had already given him too much of a surprise, so he was a little more interested in these juniors.

However, Zhang Fatian didn't say anything, and Deacon Hu didn't delve into it, waving his hand, "It's okay, then let's test it directly, put your hands on the spirit stone, and then inject internal strength into the stone." ”

"Yes", Zhang Fatian responded. This spirit stone is made of a special material, with five elements inside and eight poles in secret, and it is a special instrument for the sect to test the qualifications of disciples. He retracted his palm and threw a burst of energy into the stone. The Spirit Stone first shone for a moment, and then quickly dimmed, with only the bright and uncertain stars beating inside.

"Big brother, this, this spirit stone's reaction is so strange", Deacon Yang's brows furrowed into the word "Chuan".

"Nine-grade root bones, one-grade comprehension, nine-grade spiritual gods, nine-grade celestial phenomena", Deacon Tiger's eyes flashed with amazement and then turned lonely, sighed, and said regretfully, "It's a pity, although you have a shocking understanding, you are not suitable for cultivating the Tao and practicing martial arts, go back and live a peaceful life." ”

On the sidelines, Niu Man sneered, "What's the use of having a good understanding? The root bones and spirits are all ninth-rate, and they can't refine the body and contain the spirit, plus this nine-grade celestial phenomenon can already say that this kid is a person abandoned by heaven." Even among the mortals in the world, the most unfortunate ones are the seven heavenly phenomena. Liu Qing, Liu Qing, your vision is really not good. ”

"Hmph", seeing the test results, Liu Qing had no choice but to snort coldly and turn his head, "Shui Xiu, this kid has such a good understanding, how can the rating of the root bones, spirit gods, and celestial phenomena be so low?"

Shui Xiu did not reply. She looked at Zhang Fatian in the field, a little stunned, "This look, I seem to have seen it somewhere, it's so familiar, but I can't remember it, where is it?"

"Shui Xiu, Shui Xiu, why are you stunned", Liu Qing beckoned in front of Shui Xiu.

"Hmm", Shui Xiu finally came back to his senses.

"What are you thinking, you won't fall in love with this kid", Liu Qing smirked.

"What are you talking about," Shui Xiu said.

"I won't tease you, you are well-informed, since this kid has such a high level of understanding, how can his roots, spirits, and celestial phenomena be so unpopular?"

Shui Xiu paused, "I think his bones, spirit gods, and celestial phenomena were sealed by the masters with secret methods. ”

Hearing this, Liu Qingfeng's eyes lit up, leaned forward, and asked quietly, "How do you know?"

"His method of injecting internal strength is quite mysterious, he can master such a method at a young age, and his family background must not be simple, if he is really born like this, the family will definitely find famous doctors all over the world for him, and this peerless understanding will not be wasted", Shui Xiuxing's eyes flashed, "and in the face of such a result, he is still not shocked, which shows that this person has a good heart." There is only one reason why such a person came to my Yunshu Sword Sect, and according to my intuition, there must have been some changes in his family. ”

"If you have something to say, what kind of dumb riddle are you playing with me", Liu Xiang said angrily, Shui Xiu still didn't speak, looking at her with a smile.

A thought fell like thunder, Liu Qing opened his mouth wide, "You mean, he wants to take ......"

"Shhh", Shui Xiu hurriedly covered Liu Qing's mouth, "There are many people here, don't say it." ”

"What are you two whispering," Niu Man said, "that kid in the field is like a wooden pestle there, and such a straw bale, which has been seen too much in the past few years." ”

In the field, Zhang Fatian's face did not change, and he smiled bitterly in his heart, "It seems that the Gu poison is not so easy to disappear, so I can only use the "Transformation Technique" left by my grandmother." ”

Zhang Fatian bowed to Deacon Hu, "Please also ask the seniors to give the juniors another chance." ”

"Hmph", Deacon Yang snorted coldly, "The spirit stone never makes a mistake, you kid should dispel delusions as soon as possible, and stop being obsessed with martial arts." ”

"The third brother is right, young man, this spirit stone has never made a mistake, even if you give it another chance, it can't change the result, you still have to die, Deacon Tiger is the oldest, generous-hearted, and earnest.

Zhang Fatian took a step forward, pointed to his right arm, and said firmly, "Please be sure to give the juniors a chance, if the result remains the same, I am willing to cut off my own arm." ”

"Well, in that case, it will be as you wish." Although Xie Lingshi has never made a mistake, what kind of confidence does this young man in front of him have to dare to risk his own arm, Deacon Tiger thought in his heart.

Zhang Fatian took a deep breath and silently recited "Transformation of a Trick" in his heart, which was about to be slapped on the spirit stone. It's too late, it's too soon. A loud voice came from the depths of the Yunshu Sword Sect and resounded through the sky.

"You, you can enter my Cloud Book Sword Sect", there was a hint of tremor in his voice.

Hearing this, the faces of the four deacons were filled with horror. The young man in front of him actually alarmed that person.

Zhang Fatian closed his fist and bowed to the air, "Thank you, senior." ”

"Big brother, it's that person", Deacon Xiong is a brute with a tiger's back and a bear's waist, but he is a little trembling at this time. The owner of Shicai's voice can be said to be famous in the Shuyun Sword Sect and even in the entire southern Xinjiang.

Deacon Tiger came back to his senses, looked at Zhang Fatian, and said with a smile, "Congratulations to Xiaoyou, I'll send someone to lead Xiaoyou to the sect." ”

"Then I'll be tired of the seniors," Zhang Fatian said softly, "I also came with my younger brother, I don't know if it is convenient to live in the sect for a few days." ”

"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. ”

"Uncle Tiger, why don't we take this junior brother to the sect", Liu Qing dragged Shui Xiu to the middle of the field, and Niu Man carried a heavy sword and followed behind them.

"This", Deacon Tiger paused, the lord in front of him was rampant and domineering in the sect, but he couldn't break the rules, "Just let the people below do this kind of thing." ”

Hearing this, Liu Qing was not annoyed, he leaned over to Deacon Hu's side, and whispered close to his ear, "Uncle Hu, do I remember that Uncle Lu lost a few jars ......of twenty-year-old wine?

Deacon Tiger listened to his head as big as a bucket, his old face was flushed, and he waved his hand, "Go with you." ”

"Okay", Liu Qing's eyes bent and smiled, "Senior brother, take your brother and come with us." ”

Zhang Fatian bowed slightly, "Thank you two senior sisters and this senior brother." ”

Zhang Fatian, Thirteen and Liu Qing stepped into the mountain gate. The ancient buildings and pavilions of the Shuyun Sword Sect are lined up one after another, looming in the clouds and mist, which can be described as "the high pavilion of the book and sword hides ten thousand volumes, and the rainbow of the Cloud Sect rolls up in the blue sky". In front of a solemn hall, there are two majestic bronze lion statues standing on both sides outside the hall, and there is a Nanmu gold plaque hanging in the middle, and the dragon and the phoenix dance on the plaque are written with three big characters "Listen to the Sword Palace".

"Sister Liu, can the sword also be heard, my father never said that the sword can be used to listen", Thirteen looked at Liu Qing with clear eyes.

Along the way, Zhang Fatian was like a stone without saying a word, but the thirteenth especially liked Liu Qing.

Liu Qing touched Thirteen's head, and joked with a smile, "This Listening to the Sword Hall is the sword in the heart, another day Sister brought this Listening Sword Hall to listen to the sword, maybe we will be a big swordsman after the Thirteenth." ”

"Okay", Thirteen smiled brightly and touched his little head, "But Daddy said that he would teach me how to forge swords, and he wouldn't let me practice swords." ”

Everyone thought it was a joke and didn't take it to heart. After all, in the world, it is not easy for ordinary people to practice swords, swords are easy to obtain, and good teachers are hard to find. Thirteen's father was just an ordinary blacksmith, so naturally he didn't know how to practice swords.

Shui Xiu felt that Thirteen was a little cute, "Thirteenth brother, look at Brother Niu's sword, is it very powerful." ”

Thirteen turned his head to look at Niu Man and the heavy sword on his back.

"Little doll, what to look at", Niu Man glared.

Thirteen timidly spit out a sentence, "Brother Niu's sword is so ugly and bulky. ”

"Thirteen", Zhang Fatian shouted, his brows furrowed slightly

"Hmph," Niu snorted heavily, "I don't know you like a little doll." ”

"Senior brother, don't worry, Niu Man is afraid of very small children", Shui Xiu said with a smile, "He has suffered a big loss in the hands of children." ”

"Okay, don't be poor", Liu Qing pointed to a low pavilion in front of him, "This is the Xingchao Courtyard, responsible for the living of the disciples in the sect, come on, we will take you to get the disciples' robes and the sect's waist card." ”

And they all went into the courtyard together.

The back mountain of the Yunshu Sword Sect and the front mountain are connected by a "golden lock through the cloud bridge". The back mountain is lush and green, and there are some caves hidden in the forest sea, which is the place where the respected elders of the Yunshu Sword Sect retreat and practice. Lu Yunfan and Lu Shen stood outside a hidden cave.

"Bring in your junior," said the man in the cave.

"Yes, Jian Lao", Lu Yunfan was overjoyed. This sword elder is his uncle according to his seniority, and he is in retreat all the year round, and he can't see the sect master a few times on weekdays. Today, I happened to meet him after completing his work, and I just introduced Lu Shen to him.

There are clusters of pine brocade stalagmites growing in the cave, and the two of them stepped on the stone path, folded and folded, and finally reached the bottom of the cave. The candlelight at the bottom of the cave was full of candlelight, and there was a pitch-black stone platform in the middle, on which sat an old man in a gray shirt. The gray-shirted old man hung his head, his hair was scattered, and he held an ancient sword in his arms, his lips moved, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

The two stood silently and did not say a word. After a long stick of incense, the old man finally raised his head, his eyes closed, "Master Yunfan, what is the matter with seeing me this time." ”

Lu Yunfan bowed slightly, "Sword Elder, Yunfan is here to invite you to take the school examination for my nephew."

"Oh, although I am in the cave, I also have a sense of the outside world, and I estimate the time, and it is the general election of the mountain gate at this moment. Since you have come to look for me, let this young man do it. ”

"Okay, Shen'er, you and use the Lu family's twenty-one road without leaving a sword to fight with your predecessors," Lu Yunfan said.

"Yes. ”

Lu Shen was puzzled in his heart, "This old man has been closing his eyes, could it be that he is blind?"

"Young man, you just have to use the sword, although the old man is blind, his hands and feet are still very active. ”

Lu Yunfan on the side said, "Shen'er, you can just listen to the old sword." ”

"Then the junior is respectful and might as well obey his fate. ”

The ancient sword in Lu Shen's arms is in good condition. The scabbard sheath is a tiger coil dragon, with hot silver edge patterns on both sides, purple jade sword checkered patterns decorated with ancient characters, and the simple copper sword handle is wrapped in black snake skin. This sword is the Han Yin Sword, the ancestral sword of the Lu family, which is as famous as another famous knife in southern Xinjiang, "Mo Lin Knife" - "Han Yin out of Taiyuan, Mo Lin into Shaoli".

Lu Shen was calm, and when his left foot stepped out first, he had already handed out a sword. His sword is clean and neat, and it is a quick word. And the essence of the 21st Road without leaving a sword is the fast word, which can make him one of the ranks of the younger generation of sword masters in southern Xinjiang.

And the old man didn't know when there was an extra wooden branch in his hand, and he blocked it with his hand, and directly parted the sword edge and fell short.

Seeing that the sword move was dismantled, Lu Shen became more and more calm, and he played up the spirit of twelve points, and used all the twenty-one unleft swords he had learned. A "falling sun and sun", the sword momentum is like a brilliant sun, falling waterfalls and flying stars, and the potential is overwhelming; It is another "blue wind blowing snow", the sword road is like the spring breeze in the south of the Yangtze River, and it is like the snow in Liaodong, and there is no trace of it; Another "horse stepping on a thousand rivers", the sword strength is better than the thunder, the surging torrent, destroying the stone and breaking the river. Lu Shenjian's body moves, interlocking, moving forward and backward, stepping out of twenty-one steps, and on the other hand, the old man, like an old monk in a fixed position, his body does not move for half a minute, waving a wooden branch with one hand, seeing the moves, he is calm.
