Chapter 18: The Old Romance of the Hidden Sword Emperor
Phoenix Mountain is located in the farthest province in the north of the dynasty, and it is said that there was a phoenix on its peak, so it was named Phoenix Mountain. In later generations, some people found the ruins of the phoenix on this mountain, and they realized it for decades, and finally became an immortal. So I started a sect here, and I have the current Phoenix Mountain lineage, which has been more than 2,000 years now.
Phoenix Mountain, like other sects on the rivers and lakes, has declined several times and revived several times. In most eras, there are immortals in charge, and when it comes to the most famous era, it is the last hundred years. In the past few hundred years, immortals have gradually become rare, and at this time, there are Liancheng sword immortals in Phoenix Mountain, and they have suddenly become the ones who hold the bull's ears in the rivers and lakes. It has also laid a pivotal position in the rivers and lakes in the past hundred years.
At this time, at the foot of Phoenix Mountain, three young men and women stood side by side, facing the gate of Phoenix Mountain. A sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl sighed softly: "After a lot of hardship, I finally arrived here." "This girl is Yifan's cousin Ji Yun.
Jin Weifen glanced around and said, "This is the foot of Phoenix Mountain, if I am a member of the Demon Sect, then..."
Before he finished speaking, Ji Yun hurriedly interjected: "Stop, stop, I'll tear your mouth if you say it again." "The three of them have been together on the road for more than ten days, and have been repeatedly attacked by the enemy, which can be described as sharing weal and woe, although they are not friends of life and death, they are also very familiar with each other, so they also seem to speak very casually.
Jin Weifen smiled slightly and said, "Don't worry, don't worry, I mean if I am a member of the Demon Sect, I can only give up here." ”
Yifan was finally relieved at this time, listening to the conversation between the two, he couldn't help laughing.
Phoenix Mountain has four peaks, in addition to the main peak led by the head Chen Zhijie himself, the other three peaks are all held by Chen Zhijie's four junior disciples, and Yifan's master Gao Daishan is one of them. At this time, the three of them were walking step by step on the top of this phoenix tail peak.
As he walked, Ji Yun seemed to be a little impatient, and asked Yifan: "The road up the mountain is too long, I might as well perform light skills and speed up." ”
Yifan shook his head and said: "The rules of the Phoenix Mountain Gate are extremely strict, and no one in the door is allowed to perform any light skills in the door, even if it encounters a big thing, without the approval of the head of the door, it is necessary to walk, at most it is just a fast walk." ”
Ji Yun pursed his lips and said, "There are really more rules on this Phoenix Mountain than the royal family. ”
Yifan smiled lightly: "I can't stand it after just coming here for a while." I've been here for 10 years now, and I haven't been following it all the time. However, there are some rules that seem a little redundant and rigid. ”
Yifan seemed to think of something again, his expression became a little gloomy, and said, "If it weren't for these rules, Senior Brother Tian maybe..."
"Yes, you haven't told us why Tian Ye quit the rivers and lakes. Liu Yun said.
Yifan hesitated, sighed, and said: "Actually, this matter is not a secret, it's just that Senior Brother Tian just became famous and returned to the mountains and forests, and it has been more than ten years since now, so you don't know." He paused for a moment, and then said: "Although Senior Brother Tian Ye is the same generation as me, he is actually the same age as Senior Uncle Jiao Ruilong, he is the eldest disciple of the contemporary head of the family, and he has excellent talent, and he has already become one of the first-class masters at that time at a young age. At that time, he was actually more famous than Uncle Jiao, and became the leader of the younger generation at that time, he was generous and heroic, and he had a large number of followers. ”
"Then why is he now?"
"Hey, since ancient times, heroes have been sad to pass the beauty pass, and Senior Brother Tian Ye, as the right and left hand of the head of the sect at that time, often went down the mountain to eliminate the strong and help the weak, and eradicate the demon sect. He is casual and free-spirited, likes to fight unevenly, and has made a lot of friends on the rivers and lakes. However, it was also this character that ended up getting him into great trouble. ”
Liu Yun and Jin Weifen both stared at Yifan and listened to the story very carefully.
"At that time, there were eight women in the Jiangnan area who were famous for their beauty and art, and they were called Qin Huai Bayan, but it was precisely because of their beauty that they caused trouble. The leader of the Black Eagle Sect of the Jiangnan Great Sect is very famous, and his kung fu is also extremely strong, and he has a high status in the rivers and lakes. But this person is sanctimonious on the surface, but he is a hungry ghost in his heart, he first accepted one of Qin Huai's Bayan as a concubine, and then he was not satisfied, and wanted the other seven to be all attached to him. He repeatedly failed to court, so he began to play a lot of tricks and feet in secret, making it extremely difficult for several other sisters to live in Jiangnan, but this person was very powerful, and most of the people in the rivers and lakes who had a good relationship with Qin Huai Bayan did not dare to clash with him head-on, and the seven of Qin Huai Bayan gradually became struggling to live. It just so happened that Senior Brother Tian Ye was on business in Jiangnan at that time, and when he heard about the dirty things that the Black Eagle Sect Leader secretly did, he was extremely angry in his heart, so he found an opportunity to confront him, but he didn't expect that person to see that Senior Brother Tian was very arrogant at a young age, and the two of them did not speculate and started to act on the spot. ”
When Ji Yun heard this, he couldn't help but applaud and said, "Okay! I didn't expect that fat field to be so powerful, I knew that I should have given him a cup that day." ”
Yifan smiled bitterly and continued: "If that's the case, it's okay, even killing the head of the Black Eagle Sect will only be a slight punishment for Senior Brother Tian Ye in the end. But although Senior Brother Tian Ye is talented and has good combat power, the cultivation time is short after all, and the three first-class masters who fought alone that day were still injured, Qin Huai Bayan felt the great kindness of Senior Brother Tian and took Senior Brother Tian back to the house, taking care of it, but it doesn't matter, Senior Brother Tian actually had a secret relationship with the head of Qin Huai Bayan, and soon the two of them made a private decision for life. Although this Qin Huai Bayan can sing and dance, she is good at color and art, and she is quite literal and knowledgeable. But they are prostitutes after all, and Senior Brother Tian Ye knows that the head of the family will never agree to their relationship, so he agreed with the head of the Eight Yan that the relationship between the two must not be leaked. But after all, the paper can't contain the fire, and somehow, in the end, the head of the master still knows. ”
"So, what happened in the end? Were the two forced to separate?"
"Well, it would be nice to do that. At that time, the head of the family personally went down the mountain to bring Senior Brother Tian Ye back to Phoenix, and asked him to break off the relationship with the head of the Eight Yans, and never see each other. Unexpectedly, Senior Brother Tianye, who had always listened to his master's words the most, was already very affectionate at this time, and begged the head of the family to agree to their marriage. The head of the family was furious and actually killed Brother Tianye's lover with one palm. The senior brother was so sad that he was disheartened, so he went into hiding. When these things happened, I had just entered Phoenix Mountain, and Senior Brother Yu had only seen him once. Strange to say, at first everyone didn't know the whole story, but then somehow it spread. Since this incident, the head of the family seems to have changed a lot, although there were many rules in Phoenix Mountain in the past, it was far from the present. But then it became more and more and more strict, until today. I think maybe the head of the sect is afraid that something like this will happen again, so within the sect, let's let everyone develop rules first. ”
Liu Yun and the others listened to this story, they were silent for a while, they had a lot of thoughts in their hearts but they didn't know what to say, the three of them just quietly continued to climb the stairs, and walked for half an hour before finally reaching the Fengwei Peak.
There is a two-story small building in the center of Fengwei Peak, the first floor is the place of discussion, and the second floor is the residence of the first family. There are also several rows of small houses around the small building, where Yifan and other disciples live on weekdays.
At this time, a person was lying on his back on a big rock outside the first row of huts, and when he heard footsteps, he sat up, rubbed his eyes, looked at Yifan and the three of them, and said in surprise: "Senior Brother Lin, you are back!"
Yifan nodded with a smile and said, "Little Liuzi, you're lazy here again, be careful that the master punishes you and doesn't allow you to eat dinner." ”
Xiao Liuzi smiled and said, "That's not possible, the master and several senior brothers have all gone to Fengshou Peak." I heard that Ji Lingfeng's uncle and Ji Yun, the prince of the dynasty, both came to Phoenix Mountain to discuss something important, and I heard that after the master and they discussed. Uncle Shi has to preach to the disciples in the sect, teach some cultivation, and experience in life. Early in the morning, the master took a few senior brothers to go. ”
"Then why didn't you go?"
"I think what this uncle said must be very profound, and my level is far from reaching it, so it's better to take a rest here, so, hehe, I pretended to be sick when I got up in the morning. ”
Yifan knew that this little junior brother had always been lazy, and he didn't pay much attention to cultivation or anything. However, he has an easy-going personality and is the youngest in the door, and the master and the senior brothers do not often blame him. Thinking about it, the master had already guessed that he was pretending to be sick today, but in the end, he followed him and let him stay.
Yifan patted Xiao Liuzi on the shoulder and said, "Then you can continue to recuperate, I will put my luggage and go directly to Fengshou Peak." He led Jin Weifen and Liu Yun to the house where he lived, put down the luggage, and I took them along a trail behind the mountain to Fengshou Peak.
