23: Jiuyao Mountain Sword Lu learns martial arts

Zhejiang is known as 'seven mountains, one water and two fields', there are many mountain ranges, along the way Yi Fan a few people walked and stopped, but it took nearly five days, and finally arrived at the boundary of Hangzhou.

Approaching the city of Hangzhou, there are more pedestrians on the official road, three religions and nine streams, up to the dignitaries and nobles, down to the peddlers and pawns, there is an endless stream, and there are more officials patrolling.

When I arrived at a post station, there was a convenient inn not far from it, Yi Fan ordered wine and food, booked a room, and then entertained his grandfather and grandson.

"All these days, thanks to the care of the Taoist, the old man is grateful. The old man took his glass and drank it.

A few people are about to part, Yi Fan is going to Jiuyao Mountain, which is more than ten miles away, Jianlu is in the mountain, and the grandfather and grandson are going to Hangzhou City to ask for a living, the new year is about to begin, the winter is cold, and there are many people listening to books, it is the time when business is hot.

"My husband is not like this, meeting is fate, since there is fate, there will be a goodbye day. Yi Fan picked up the wine glass and drank it all.

After the meal, the grandfather and grandson were ready to rush to stay outside Hangzhou, and entered the city early the next morning.

"Chong'er, don't mess around. ”

The old man came up and hugged him, and despite his struggles, he said goodbye, and then walked out of the door, and not far away he heard the sound of children crying.

Yi Fan was not sentimental, sat down for a while, drank the wine in the cup, and then asked the shopkeeper to buy some melons and fruits and send them to the room, and entered the house.

The disgusted ghost squatted on the stool, tilted his head, listless, and when he saw Yi Fan coming in, he screamed, and lowered his head weakly.

Since entering the densely populated realm, Yi Fan has restricted its freedom, and when he goes out, he must wear a coat and a cloak, and he is not allowed to come into contact with the living without his permission.

For a few days, it couldn't stand it, and it was deterred by Yi Fan, but it didn't dare to be presumptuous, so it was only bored and angry, hiding in the room all day long, not eating food and not drinking water.

Yi Fan shook his head, comforted a few words, and heard the second shopkeeper knocking on the door outside, knowing that the melons and fruits were coming.

sent the shopkeeper and put the melons and fruits on the table: "Okay, early tomorrow morning, let's go to Jiuyao Mountain, presumably the mountains are vast and the trees are lush, let you toss, and it will not scare the living." ”

Disgusted with the ghost, his ears were erected, and he suddenly became more energetic, jumped off the chair, picked up the melon and fruit and stuffed it into his mouth.

There was nothing to do all night, early the next morning, the travelers who stayed were on the road, the oxen, horses, carriages and sheep, very noisy, Yi Fan settled the account, took the disgusted ghost out of the inn, and looked at the post station, where it seemed quieter, there were five or six carriages waiting outside, obviously the dignitaries were inside.

The inn did not receive passengers, and was responsible for passing official documents and officials to and from the station, and there were people around it who opened inns and small markets.

Without looking at it, Yi Fan tightened the clothes on his body and walked to the other side with the disgusting ghost.

At this time, the area of Xizi Lake is vast, there are many aquariums in the lake, although there are fishermen who fish for a living, or occasionally there are elegant people who swim in the lake, but most of the time, the living people are rare, there are various legends, and it is more desirable.

As the highest mountain around the West Lake, Jiuyao Mountain is actually not high, nearly 200 meters, but the area is large, standing on the top of the mountain, you can see the West Lake at a glance, the scenery is beautiful.

Jianlu is in the mountain, according to the information given by Yan Chixia, when he came to a dam, he saw fishermen fishing in the lake, and before he could shout, someone came over with a boat.

"This Daoist, but you want to take a boat?"

"Exactly, trouble the boatman. ”

Yi Fan nodded, got on the boat with the disgusting ghost, and said, "Trouble the boatman to send me to the other side, that building." ”

He pointed to the other side of the lake, and saw a building looming among the trees, and a pier not far below, but there was no one.

The boatman was stunned for a moment, looked at Yi Fan carefully, looked at the disgusted ghost again, groaned, and asked, "I saw the Taoist chief face, this is the first time I have come to Hangzhou, right?"

"The boatman has good eyesight, and the poor road came from Guobei County, and he was entrusted by someone to send a bag. ”

Yi Fan didn't hide it, guessing that it was a person from the sword house, and sure enough, after hearing this, the boatman nodded, and then the boat moved.

Half an hour later, when I arrived at the pier on the other side of the lake, I saw the boatman take out a whistle, blow it gently, and a loud and piercing sound came out, and then I saw a kendo man jumping out, stepping on his feet, and coming to him in the blink of an eye.

"Uncle Bo, it's hard work. ”

The person who carried the sword said hello to the boat family first, and after the boat family left, he looked at Yi Fan, especially the disgusted ghost who was wearing a coat and robe after getting up: "Chen Jiansheng in Xia Jian Lu, I have seen Brother Dao." ”

Yi Fan returned the salute and said, "Poor Yi Fan, I have seen Brother Chen Dao." ”

After saluting each other, Chen Jiansheng asked, "I don't know where Brother Yi Dao came from?"

"But he was entrusted by someone to send a bag. ”

Yi Fan took out the bag given by Yan Chixia and handed it to Chen Jiansheng, but he didn't accept it, only to see his face change, take a few steps back, and respectfully: "It turned out to be a friend of Yan Chixia's ancestor, Chen Jiansheng was rude." ”

After speaking, he said: "Please also ask Brother Yi Dao to come with me, it is better for you to hand over the tips to the master of the Sword Lu in person." ”

Yi Fan didn't know the rules and followed him.

Although Jiuyao Mountain is not high, the scenery in it is excellent, the small bridge and flowing water, the water pavilion, and there are more young Taoists practicing swords, so it is not lively.

Seeing that he was puzzled, Chen Jiansheng explained: "Brother Yi Dao, don't be surprised, the Sword House is the lower courtyard of my Shushan Sword Sect, responsible for recruiting secular disciples, and those with excellent qualifications can enter the Shushan Upper Sect and learn more profound methods." ”

Speaking of this, he was a little proud, but he quickly relented, explaining the scenery to Yi Fan all the way, and the two quickly became familiar with each other.

After a short time, he was about to reach the top of the mountain, and he saw several temples, so that the disgusting ghosts were waiting outside the hall, Chen Jiansheng took him to one of them, and when he entered the door, he found that there were already three or four people inside.

"Chen Jiansheng has met all the masters and the master of Zhanglu. ”

Chen Jiansheng saluted, nodded at the first Taoist who looked at the more than sixty years old, looked at Yi Fan, and said, "I am the master of this sword house, I don't know how my brother met Uncle Yan Chixia?"

It's no wonder why he knew the news in advance, but he didn't expect Yan Chixia's seniority to be so high, and even the master of the Sword Lu called him uncle.

Yi Fan only gave a general description of the battle in Lanruo Temple, then took out the sachet, handed it over and said, "This sachet was personally handed over to me by Senior Yan, let me transfer it to Jianlu." ”

The Taoist nodded, took the bag, opened it and took out a jade from it, shook it slightly, spit out a creed from it, opened it and looked at it carefully, and after a while, his color was a little cold, and he handed the bag to several other people to see.

After the other people finished reading it, the Taoist pondered and said, "In Uncle Yan Chixia's letter, there is an explanation, but Brother Dao Xu will learn swords and practice martial arts in Jianlu for three months." ”

Yi Fan was stunned for a moment, then overjoyed, and arched his hand: "Then thank you Brother Dao." ”

For a long time, martial arts has been his biggest weakness, although there is a 'palm thunder' such as attacking thunder, but after all, it is lacking, once he encounters a powerful demon, or even a powerful martial artist, he is helpless.

Thinking that the forbidden army leader Xiahou, his martial arts are superb, his sword is as fast as electricity, and ordinary demons are under his sword, like weeds, let him slaughter, even if he is a powerful demon, he can fight a fight, which can be seen to be powerful.
