Chapter 3: The Nine Dragons Jade Flute
When Yu Qian came out of his daughter's courtyard, he was worried.
At that time, it was past noon, and suddenly someone came to report, saying that Zhou Shiya and his party had arrived at the bottom of the mountain, and the master Yu Guangling had gone down the mountain to greet him, so he asked him to inform Yu Qian and wait for the guests in the Xiangfeng Pavilion later.
Yu Qian was a little caught off guard, looked back at his daughter's mansion, sighed lowly, shook his head, and left in a hurry.
On that day, Wuxiang Mountain was full of friends.
After the Zhou Shiya brothers went up the mountain, the people in the rivers and lakes on that side heard the wind and came, expecting to hear Er Zhou and Yu Guangling talking at the same altar.
Yu Guangling is two years older than the Zhou brothers, so he is called a brother.
After greetings, the Zhou brothers paid homage to the Sanqing Immortal Master according to the ceremony, and then went to the Xiangfeng Pavilion to pay homage to the spiritual seat of Tu Jian.
Tu Jian is Yu Guangling's mentor, and his descendants are chasing the hermit of Juxian. Back then, Tu Jian and Zhou Tianyong's master Jiang Weng, and Ge Yuan of Xuantianguan, the three of them were all famous, and they were all famous Taoist masters in the world.
After these false ceremonies were completed, Shiya entered the cabinet of the apse with Guangling, leaving Tian Yong and the disciples to meet guests in the front hall.
Zhou Yi followed Tian Yong and listened to some articles such as the Great Sage and the Great Sage, and was very upset in his heart, so he asked in a low voice: "Master Tai, these are the principles of the Sage, I am just an ignorant naughty boy, can I not listen?"
Tian Yong already knew his thoughts, but there were many people at this time, and it was inconvenient for him to go out, so he persuaded him: "Wuxiang Mountain and Yunliu Lake, with beautiful scenery, can be described as a unique in the world." The world-famous 'Ask Sword Stone' is there. In two days, after these guests leave, how about I take you there?"
"Can you see Old Man Tu's Ice Jade Sword?" Zhou Yi was excited when he heard the 'Ask Sword Stone'.
"It depends on whether you have the patience to wait for another two days, in case your father hears that you are going out alone, I am afraid that you will not be able to go anywhere. ”
Zhou Yi looked back at the interested guests, and had no intention of leaving.
He didn't want to see anything 'Ask the Sword Stone', but his appointment with Yu Xi in the letter made him sit on pins and needles here.
At that time, Zhou Ying and his wife were around Tianyong, the crowd was noisy, and the eyes of his husband and wife did not dare to leave Zhou Yi at any time.
Zhou Yi also knew his parents' worries, and wanted to go out alone at this time, but he was afraid that he would not be able to see Yu Xi.
After thinking about it, she could only give up, Wuxiangshan made such a big noise to welcome the guests, she must have known that it would be a matter of time before the two met.
Zhang Yufu smiled at him: "Yu Xi is a sensible good boy, it's so lively today, do you see her coming?" Zhou Yi lowered his head, looking like he couldn't listen, and Yufu said again: "You are the elder brother, if you can't set an example, this person will be thrown into Wuxiang Mountain." ”
"I can also abide by my father's orders!" Zhou Yi walked into the crowd and called those people in the rivers and lakes brothers, and Zhou Ying sighed when he saw it.
Hongtian Temple, Cabinet.
Cigarettes curl and the breeze blows.
Yu Guangling and Zhou Shiya entered the door one after the other, Guangling looked back and confirmed that no one was coming, so he closed the middle door casually.
There is a secret passage in the pavilion, Guangling opens the mechanism, leading the world into the secret passage. The two of them walked three corridors before they saw a white light coming from them, and further on, there was an exit.
When I went out, I suddenly opened up.
Different from the outside, here is a fragrant spring water pavilion, pavilions and jade stands, like a paradise.
The two sat opposite each other under the Water Pavilion Pavilion.
If you didn't guess wrong, Baiheshan also received a secret decree. Yu Guangling poured two cups of tea and broke the nail on the head.
Zhou Shiya shook his head and laughed a few times, and drank the tea in one gulp.
"That's natural, otherwise, you wouldn't have led me here. Shiya breathed a sigh of relief, got up and looked into the distance, "The secret decree of Baihe Mountain is to let my two brothers exterminate the Six Hanging Peaks in the name of the rivers and lakes." It seems that the imperial court did not get the Nine Dragons Jade Flute from you. ”
"The order of the ancestor is ordered, and I dare to disobey!" Guangling's cold eyes revealed a bit of fortitude at this time.
"What do you say about the secret decree sent to Wuxiang Mountain?" Shiya asked.
"What else can I say, it's just to make a big fuss about Wu Ye's rebellion, saying that Wuxiangshan is not well guarded, and it is difficult to ensure the safety of Jiulong Yuxiao. He also said that I connived at my disciples to do evil and prey on the people, and then forced me to sacrifice the jade flute. Guangling sneered, "You also know that the Nine Dragons Jade Flute was built by the ancestors, and he finally instructed me that no matter what, I should also leave it in Wuxiang Mountain, what I am afraid of is that if one day, those two golden pills flow into the rivers and lakes again, and the rebellion of the year will be repeated." ”
Speaking of the Nine Dragons Jade Flute, both of them remembered the catastrophe that turned the world upside down twenty years ago.
Twenty years ago, Zhou Tianyong's mentor Jiang Weng preached in Baihe Mountain. coincided with the invasion of the Hu people, and the military situation was urgent, so Jiang Weng went to the Western Regions alone to defend against the invading enemy.
Later, Jiang Weng was accidentally framed by someone and was poisoned with arrows, and he was in danger.
Jiang Weng has a close friend, who is the world-famous Xuantian divine doctor at that time, the eighteenth great-great-grandson of Ge Hong in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, Ge Yuan. Ge Yuan is well versed in the way of alchemy, in order to save Jiang Weng, he took the elixir from the top of the Divine Mountain in the Western Regions, which lasted more than 300 days, and refined three golden pills that can bring people back to life.
However, Jiang Weng was in critical condition and passed away half a year before the Jin Dan was practiced, and the three Jin Dan were left in Ge Yuan's Xuantian Temple.
After that, Ge Yuan's eldest apprentice, Mo Yuan, embezzled Jin Dan, killed Ge Yuan, and made the entire rivers and lakes bloody, which was the Mo Yu Rebellion when everyone was in danger.
At that time, there were still three strange people in the rivers and lakes, one of whom was Yu Guangling's master, the immortal hermit Tu Jian. Second, it is the ancestor of the Xuanyuan Sword, Ji En. Third, it is the king of Yanshan who guards the border, Dongguo Tan.
The relationship between these three people and Jiang Weng and Ge Yuan can be described as not siblings but siblings.
However, at that time, Ji Eun's two sons were trapped by the court situation and died one after another. Dongguo Tan was also mired in the quagmire due to the Turkic war and was temporarily imprisoned in the prison, so the burden of revenge for Ge Yuan fell on Tu Jian alone.
At that time, Tu Jian accepted many apprentices, but in terms of qualifications, none of these apprentices could compete with Mo Lu. In order to prevent his disciples from suffering from the disaster of pond fish, Tu Jian dismissed all of them, and he himself guarded Wuxiang Mountain alone, vowing to live and die with the rivers and lakes.
Just when the catastrophe of Wuxiang Mountain was approaching, Yu Guangling went and returned, willing to live and die with his master.
In this way, from the day of the Ninth Double Ninth Festival in early September, the master and apprentice of the sword slayer fought with Mo Yu for three days and three nights, and there was no winner or loser. And Zhou Tianyong, who was mourning for his teacher in Baihe Mountain, rushed to Wuxiang Mountain to help him when he heard the news, and the three of them worked together to capture Mo Yu.
When Zhou Tianyong cultivated immortals with his master, he visited Ge Yuan many times, and under Ge Yuan's guidance, he also knew the way of alchemy. Tian Yong believes that the reason why Mo Lu's golden body is not bad is because he has a golden pill to protect his body, and if he can refine the golden pill from his body, Mo Lu will die with one blow. So he threw Mo Yu into Ge Yuan's Dan furnace, calcined it for seven seven and forty-nine days, and finally, Mo Yu turned into one yin and one yang, and two red and green golden pills.
After this battle, the Sword Slaughter Yuan God was exhausted, and because he was seriously injured, he would soon die.
Tu Jian knew very well that the root of the rebellion of Molu, in addition to the two golden pills, was the greedy heart of people who tried to monopolize the golden pills, as long as the golden pills flowed into the rivers and lakes, then the strife would never stop.
So, he folded his ice jade sword into two sections, and carved them into two jade flutes, surrounded by nine dragons on the jade flute, and the nine dragons were the same, and the two golden pills were embedded in the dragon eyes respectively.
At the same time, Tu Jian told the rivers and lakes that anyone who wants to get the Nine Dragons Jade Flute is a sinner who provokes trouble, and the righteous people in the rivers and lakes can attack it in groups. Since then, the two Nine Dragons Jade Flutes have been left in Wuxiang Mountain.
After Yu Guangling was in charge of Wuxiang Mountain, the emperor of the dynasty secretly issued decrees many times to let him bring the Nine Dragons Jade Flute into the imperial court. Guangling remembered his master's order and swore to die. At that time, the war broke out, the Turks invaded the territory one after another, and the imperial court was busy with the war, so it did not mention the recruitment of the Nine Dragons Jade Flute for the time being.
However, an incident that happened fifteen years ago pushed the Nine Dragons Jade Flute to the forefront again.
There was a reason for the incident, at that time, Yu Guangling recruited disciples in order to strengthen the mountain gate and better protect the Nine Dragons Jade Flute. Within a few years, he successively accepted three brothers, Wu Qing, Wu Guang, and Wu Ye, and one more, Yu Xi's mother, Han Ruofu. In addition to these elites, there are countless other disciples.
However, no one expected that fifteen years ago, Qiqi suddenly reappeared, and everywhere it went, it turned the world upside down, and the people were struggling to make a living. Yu Guangling gathered Zhou Tianyong, posted a heroic post, and summoned the heroes of the world to eliminate harm together. Zhou Shiya was the White Crane Mountain at that time.
After the group gathered, there was news that Qiqi haunted the Tongguan area. Yu Guangling and Zhou Tianyong each left a few disciples to guard the mountain gate, and then led the heroes to attack Tongguan.
But what people didn't expect was that not long after they left, Qiqi suddenly appeared in the area of Baihe Mountain. Zhou Ying led a group of old and weak soldiers, knowing that it was difficult to resist, so he sent three letters of help to Wuxiangshan for help. When Han Ruofu learned that the matter was urgent, she urged the two senior brothers, Wu Guang and Wu Ye, to go to the rescue.
At that time, Wu Guang had already learned that Wu Ye coveted the Nine Dragons Jade Flute, and he was afraid that Wu Ye would take the opportunity to cause chaos, so he decided to stay in Wuxiang Mountain and let Han Ruofu lead a team of men and horses to help Zhou Yu.
Sure enough, Wu Ye took advantage of the emptiness of Wuxiang Mountain's defense, tangled up with a group of fox friends and dog friends, and resolutely attacked his own brother, stole a Nine Dragons Jade Flute, and fled to Liuhang Peak to occupy the mountain as the king.
After the Qiqi Rebellion was pacified, Yu Guangling returned to Wuxiang Mountain. When he learned that Wu Ye had rebelled and Wu Guang had been killed, he decided to set foot on the Six Hanging Peaks and avenge Wu Guang.
However, at that time, Zhou Shiya personally went to Wuxiang Mountain and stopped him. Shiya said: "The imperial court is worried that there is no reason to confiscate the jade flute, as soon as this matter comes out, he only needs to detain a disciple who has no way to condone the crime of conniving at the rebellion of the disciple, and you will be helpless?
Therefore, Zhou Shiya advocated not to make a statement, after all, Wu Ye had rebelled, and under the impecution, he fought to the death, and it was the local people who suffered.
Guangling had to give up. However, later, he personally went up to the Six Hanging Peaks and warned Wu Ye in person, telling him not to do evil again, and not to publicize this matter, otherwise, he would take Wu Ye's head to pay tribute to Wu Guang.
That Wu Ye is not a person who does not know what to do, after killing Wu Guang, he regretted it a lot, since he was forgiven by Guangling, he also stopped in shame, so he obeyed Guangling's instructions and let his subordinates keep silent.
Fifteen years have passed in a blink of an eye, and only those who experienced the past back then still vaguely remember, but they didn't expect that the imperial court would get some rumors. This is also what worries Guangling and Shiya the most at this moment.
Guangling remembered that period of the past, and was full of sorrow, since Baihe Mountain had received a secret order to exterminate the Six Hanging Peaks, it seemed that the emperor wanted to use the power of the rivers and lakes to achieve his goal.
