Chapter 64: Huashan on the Sword
"That's good, the master is still afraid that the little junior brother will be in a hurry, and before leaving, he told a certain warning to you, it seems that he is worried in vain. Xuan Ji smiled with relief.
"Senior brother, you didn't come to me just for this, right?" asked Bai Ya suspiciously.
"Of course, it's not just about this, the master sent someone over this time to inform you in advance, and you can go down the mountain on the first day of next month. Xuan Ji smiled and said, "Seeing that you have performed well in the past three years, I plan to exempt you from the punishment of the next two years." β
"It's really fake, there won't be anything else inside, right?" Bai Ya was deeply suspicious, his eyes rolled, and he said with righteousness, "Senior brother, you go back to report to the master, you don't need to reduce the punishment, the eldest husband said that he will face the wall for five years, and he will never go down the mountain before the deadline expires!"
"Oh, you don't regret it!" Xuan Ji pursed his lips and looked at him quietly.
"That'...... Of course!" Bai Ya looked at Xuan Ji's face and replied hesitantly.
Three years ago, it really didn't matter if he didn't go down the mountain or not, anyway, he was ready to practice hard, and he had a large number of cultivation resources. In Phoenix Ridge, there is not much difference from in Jianzhi Peak.
Not anymore, though!
Most of the heavenly and earthly treasures that he had originally extorted from Jingluo Zhenren had been eaten, and only some powerful pills such as Yanji Pill and Nine Flavor Baicao Pill were left.
In the next two years, if he still stays on the wall of Phoenix Ridge, and without the nourishment of heaven and earth, the harsh natural environment here will damage his body, and it will no longer be his cultivation help.
"You......" Xuan Ji saw that he was insincere, and immediately pointed at him funny.
"Forget it, let's be honest with you! The master asked you to come down the mountain because he was looking for you. However, he said that he will not negotiate any conditions with you this time. If you're going to play tricks again, then stay in the mountains. β
"Well, since the master has something, the disciple should naturally serve. Bai Ya responded with a shy face, not saying anything about the big husband and the big husband.
"Senior brother, what is going on this time?"
"I don't know, the master didn't say too much about related matters, it seems to be related to your life experience......" Xuan Ji shrugged his shoulders and spread his hands to show helplessness.
"Something to do with my life experience?" Bai Ya Daqi asked in surprise, "No, I was in Shiyangji in the Gobi Desert outside the Guanwai before I became sensible, and it is at least ten million miles away from Yizhou, and even I don't know much about my life experience?"
Bai Yaxin said that he wanted to know about his brother's life experience, unless you also traveled once.
However, he knew in his heart that this might be talking about this body, the original life experience of the stone sheep set a small stunned stick.
It's just that in Shiyangji's mind, there is really no memory related to his life experience. Xiao Tun Bang initially only remembered an old man named Mo in Shiyangji, who picked him up from the Gobi Desert, and then he has been working as a servant at the Gulin Inn.
"Hehe, have you forgotten that piece of birthday jade pendant on your body?" asked Xuan Ji with a smile.
"Jade Pendant...... Oh, it seems that there is such a piece!" Bai Ya suddenly rummaged through the mustard seed bag, and finally found the jade pendant that he had long forgotten.
The front of this jade pendant is carved with a pony with the word "white" engraved on the body of the horse. On the reverse side is a line of small characters, which should be the eight characters of Baiya's birthday: "November 22, 4686 in the Shenzhou calendar, Jiawu - ηΈι - Bingshen - Gengwu".
It was also from this jade pendant that Bai Ya learned the surname and birth date of his body. If the date on this is his birthday, then he will be twenty-one years old this year.
Many people have seen his jade pendant, such as: Feng Yang, Liu Yu, and Jingluo Zhenren.
This is because when you start apprenticing, you need to fill in the eight characters of your birthday. Bai Ya didn't have the habit of memorizing the eight characters of his birthday in his previous life, so he would take out the jade pendant and check the eight characters of his birthday on it.
"Didn't Patriarch Jingluo take a special look at your jade pendant when you started your apprenticeship last time?" Xuan Ji explained with a smile, "Others can't recognize the origin of your jade pendant, but the real person is from the Chu royal family and has seen a lot of things, but he recognized this thing." β
"Your jade pendant is called Qingshui Baibi, and the texture is extremely rare. Today's aristocratic families engrave birthday cards for their children and grandchildren, all of which are made into gold and silver locks. Only those aristocratic families that have been handed down from ancient times to the present day will retain the tradition of carving the eight characters of birth on the precious jade. β
An inexplicable look flashed in Xuan Ji's eyes, "Little junior brother, your background must not be simple, it may be from the ancient family of the Qin State." The master has sent someone to Qindi to investigate in the past few years, and now he should have the answer. β
"Oh!" Bai Ya got the news, but he didn't feel anything in his heart.
The ancient family of the Qin Kingdom has a relationship with him!
Originally, the young man surnamed Bai had already been pierced by his soul, and the identity of the disciple of Qingcheng was far more than the son of a bullshit family. He is now practicing martial arts in Qingcheng again, and he is separated from the ancient family of the Qin State thousands of miles away, so what can he do if he has figured out his life experience?
"Senior brother, I've suffered from soul loss since I was a child, and I don't remember my parents and relatives, so I really don't have any feelings about my family's background, let's not talk about this topic, okay?" Bai Ya spread his hands and said with a sigh.
"Why don't you pick some interesting stories on the rivers and lakes and tell me, in the past three years in Phoenix Ridge, my ears and eyes are closed, I occasionally receive letters from friends, and I also talk about common things, and I am now blind to the outside world. β
Bai Ya brought up this topic, originally because he didn't want to talk about his life experience anymore, but he didn't expect that Xuan Ji would really talk about a few things that interested him next.
"Hehe, I have been in retreat for the past three years, and there is no more news circulating in the rivers and lakes than you know. Xuan Ji thought for a while, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he said with a smile, "Speaking of which, there is something that you may be interested in, the senior brothers on the Sword Finger Peak have been talking about it these days. β
"Oh, what's the matter?" asked White Cliff casually.
The senior brothers on the Sword Finger Peak have always been incompatible with him, except for Liu Yu and Xuan Ji, Bai Ya doesn't care much about other people, and he hasn't even remembered all his names until now.
"Little junior brother, have you ever heard of Huashan Discussing Swords before?" asked Xuan Ji with a short beard.
"Ahem...... Big, senior brother, junior brother didn't hear clearly, you say it again, what is the sword?" Bai Ya was drinking, and when he heard Xuan Ji's question, the wine almost choked out of his nose.
"Huashan on the sword!" Xuan Ji repeated again.
β......β
Bai Ya's face was blank, his eyes looked at Xuan Ji strangely, and he asked tentatively: "Huashan on the sword?" Is there any evil in the east and poison in the west, the southern emperor and the northern beggar?"
"Hmm, junior brother, what are you talking about...... I haven't heard of it......" Xuan Ji looked at Baiya blankly.
"Ahem, it's nothing, senior brother, go on!"
Bai Ya faked coughing twice, and raised his hand to signal Xuan Ji to continue, but at this time, he was finally interested in listening carefully.
"The territory of Shenzhou is boundless, and there are many immortal martial sects in various states. If everyone works behind closed doors, the martial arts will definitely stagnate, which is not conducive to the future prospects of our human race. Xuan Ji took a sip of wine and said slowly.
"Therefore, after the revision of the Third Immortal Oath, that is, the Oath of Good and Evil, the famous and decent families in the world decided to hold some grand events on a regular basis, so that the martial artists of the major sects could exchange and learn during the period and promote the development of the martial arts of the human race. β
"I see, but why do you want to call Huashan the sword?" Bai Ya rubbed his temples and asked with some pain.
"Because the third immortal oath was revised at Huashan Chaoyang Peak!" Xuan Ji glanced at Bai Ya, and vaguely felt that the little junior brother seemed to be very sensitive to the name Huashan Lunjian.
"The venue of the event is in Huashan, and the Huashan faction majors in swordsmanship, so in order to respect the master, the name of this event is set as Huashan Lunjian, and it has been continued like this since then. β
"Okay, Huashan will discuss the sword of Huashan!" Bai Ya couldn't help but laugh, and said with joy, "Senior brother, you continue to ......"
"Huashan on the sword is a ten-year period, the oath of good and evil is set in the Shenzhou calendar in 3901, the first Huashan on the sword began in 3908, so Huashan on the sword has been held for 79 years, and next year is exactly the 80th. Xuan Ji said with a stroking beard.
"Since it's a competition and exchange, can Huashan have a ranking of martial artists?" Bai Ya asked with interest.
"Yes, there are two lists of Huashan Sword Discussions!" Xuan Ji nodded in affirmation and said slowly, "However, in order to avoid causing grievances and disputes between martial artists and sects, these two lists do not have a front and back ranking, and will only record the victories and defeats of martial artists. β
"What's the point of these two lists if they don't have a front and back ranking?" asked Bai Ya curiously.
"Hehe, little junior brother, I'm here to ask you...... What do you think of my martial arts, Senior Brother?" Xuan Ji did not answer Bai Ya, but asked with a smile first.
"Senior brother, are you, your Qingcheng Canglang Gong is of high quality, and you have a lot of actual combat experience, plus the bottleneck of the situation has been loosened, you can be described as a top artistic conception martial artist, except for the master, there should be no opponent on the sword finger peak. Bai Ya thought about it and said frankly.
"What if you put it in the entire Qingdu Temple, or even the Qingcheng faction?" Xuan Ji continued to ask.
"In the artistic conception, it will be at least in the top 20. Xuan Ji asked twice, and Bai Ya slowly understood, "Senior brother, do you mean that the martial arts of Huashan Sword are not much different, and there are too many people, so they can't be ranked?"
"Yes, this is also one of the important reasons!" Xuan Ji nodded in response.
"There are so many heroes in the world, and the artistic conception is practiced to a certain level, and the victory or defeat of everyone is only a millimeter. Even if you deal with the same opponent, if you win today, you may lose tomorrow, and it is an injustice to set a specific ranking. β
"That's what I said!" Bai Ya nodded in understanding, and then asked curiously, "Senior brother, you just said that there are two lists of Huashan Lunjian, what are they called?"
"The two lists are called the rookie list and the Tianying list, and each takes 500 people. The rookie list is limited to only martial artists under the age of 30, and the Tianying list is limited to martial artists under the age of 60. β
When Xuan Ji said this, he shook his head regretfully, "These two lists can almost only be on the list, and a martial artist like a certain can only sigh." β
