Chapter 1 The Mountains and the Heavens
The rolling Yangtze River is passing away, and the waves are sweeping away the heroes. Success or failure turns empty, the green mountains are still there, and the sunset is red several times.
On the white-haired fisherman river, accustomed to watching the autumn moon and spring breeze. A pot of turbid wine is happy to meet, and many things in ancient and modern times are laughing and talking.
Since ancient times, the land of China, the great country of the Celestial Empire, the heroes of the people, the heroes have come out in large numbers, each leading the way for hundreds of years, there is a place vaguely located in the center of the land of China, the mountains stand green, stretching for thousands of miles, the highest peak is like a sword straight into the sky, the highest place is in the clouds and mist all the year round, the nearby villagers look at this mountain seems to be as high as the sky, so it is named Tianqi Mountain, a certain year and a month have a swordsman who has found that the aura gathers here, goes straight to the heavens, is very conducive to cultivation, just here to open the mountain and establish the ancestors, recruit disciples, and establish the Tianjian Gate.
This swordsman is named Nie Feng, he is extremely swordsmanship, palm in one, both internal and external, and good at teaching, from the teacher and his disciples are outstanding, the cultivation of martial arts is strong, chivalrous and courageous, to kill demons and demons as their own responsibility, for the martial arts righteous way to establish countless prestige, so the Tianjian Gate is less than 100 years of time seems to cover Emei, Qingcheng, Huashan, Kunlun and other major sects, vaguely and Shaolin Wudang famous.
The Heavenly Sword Gate was passed to the third person in charge, who was Nie Feng's youngest disciple who closed the door that year, but he was also a martial arts wizard, although he was also approaching his old age at this time, but he had a cheerful personality and was naturally optimistic, and his perennial cultivation was also a childish face. The martial arts people combined him and the sword saint of the northern wolf clan into the Southern Qi and Northern Saints, and respected him as a martial arts master. The martial arts people in the Central Plains respect the Tianjian Gate even more, and respect the old man and call him the old man of Tianqi or the Taoist of Tianqi, if you want to say how high his martial arts are, he can't be as high as the sky, but I just hope that this old man can live with the sky. Tianqi Daoist began to travel the world after studying art under his master for 20 years, and he did many chivalrous and righteous things. He didn't leave his name for many things at that time, but the people involved were only on the spot afterwards, and they were all grateful and virtuous. Tianqi Dao traveled all over the four corners of the Heavenly Empire, and then returned to Tianjianmen to take over as the head of the third person, before he began to worship the ancestors and accept apprentices, he received a total of seven apprentices in his life, and taught each other martial arts, although these apprentices have very different personalities, but most of them are geniuses who practice martial arts, and they also respect the teacher and value the way, and they like to practice. It's just that by mistake, each has its own fate, and sometimes it is inevitable that Lao Dao is a little melancholy, after all, Lao Dao has never married in his life, and he has always treated these apprentices as sons.
There are many peaks in Tianqi Mountain, there are countless large and small mountains, there is a small hill alone, there is a yard in the middle of the mountain, and a few thatched huts are repaired in the yard. Although the yard is small but it is neatly cleaned, the thatched hut is not big, and there is a martial arts training ground in front. At this time, the moon was in the sky, the breeze was gentle, and the owner of the house could not sleep at night, and a person danced his sword there by the moonlight. The sword was in the moonlight, and the aura flowed, flying up and down, like a few white rays of light surrounding the people of the martial sword. The swordsmanship used by that person was majestic, wide open and closed, and the sword qi contained the righteousness of heaven and earth, and suddenly somehow the sword dancer sword wind turned, and the sword turned out to be like a poisonous dragon, murderous, sword and sword life, and ruthless. Finally, the sword flew out of his hand like lightning and plunged into the stone a few feet away. As soon as the sword was struck, the murderous aura on the person who danced the sword slowly disappeared, leaving only the sword stuck in the stone and trembling.
"Yuanshan, is your Nine Heavens Demon Descending Sword Technique too murderous, can't you let go of the grievances from more than ten years ago?"
"Master, why did you get out of the customs?" It turned out that the person who practiced the sword was Qi Yuanshan, the second apprentice of the Tianqi Dao Master.
Qi Yuanshan took a step forward and bowed down in front of Lao Dao, and as soon as Lao Dao's hand was raised slightly, Qi Yuanshan couldn't put it down. "Ten years of life and death, don't think about it, and never forget" you,....
The old Taoist sighed again: "It's not good to blame me, you should have asked your senior brother to give you Zhang Luo's family affair, and you still miss that person."
Qi Yuanshan said: "Master, if the apprentice wants to learn from the master, he will not marry for the rest of his life, and he will devote himself to learning martial arts." ”
The old man smiled and said wittily: "Don't learn from me, I was a confused and sloppy life, how could anyone want to marry me, unlike you, our Tianjian Sect is a dignified Qi Erxia, everyone in the rivers and lakes admires it, and there are many little girls from all walks of life who want to marry you. Hey, isn't there a nun from that Emei sect who has always liked you?"
"Master" Qi Yuanshan smiled awkwardly, "She is not a nun, her master is, and she is also a lay disciple." “
"Uh-uh, it doesn't matter, even nuns can be vulgar." The old Taoist was very open-minded.
Qi Yuanshan's heart was warm, the master was so old, and he still thought about his own affairs, he was really a master and a father.
Qi Yuanshan said apologetically: "Master, the apprentice is not filial, and at this age, he still makes the master tired." ”
"Well, no matter what time it is, how old you are in my eyes, after all, you are what you looked like when you first went up the mountain" Who would have thought that this strong man, who was respected as the first person in martial arts by the Shenzhou Continent, would be such a kind old man.
"Master, sit down, I'll pour you tea", Qi Yuanshan turned his head and went into the house to pour water.
The old man of Tianqi sat on the stone bench in the corner of the courtyard, he looked around at this simple courtyard, and thought that the saddest thing in this life is love, if it wasn't for being trapped by love, according to Qi Yuanshan's martial arts and talents, he should have dominated the rivers and lakes a long time ago. He has accepted 7 apprentices in his life, the boss Jin Jian is now in charge of the sect affairs for himself, no problem will be the next head of the Tianjian Sect in the future, the third apprentice Li Muyuan created the Zhenyuan Dart Bureau, and now it is one of the three major dart bureaus of the Great Heavenly Dynasty, and the business is done all over the country. The fourth apprentice Luo Donghao went home to take over the family gang Luoyang Youlong Gang, and after some operation, it is now the largest gang in Luoyang, one of the eight gangs and six factions in the rivers and lakes, and everyone admires it. The five apprentices are more like themselves, they are naturally loose, unrestrained, and have no fixed place, and they also practice while traveling, and they sit down to do a lot of chivalrous and righteous things, and people often come to Tianmen Mountain to give gifts and thank the five heroes for their great kindness; the six apprentices are obsessed with the martial arts of their own sect, and have been practicing on the mountain, and they also help the master deal with sect affairs, which can be regarded as reassuring themselves! Only the second apprentice, and the seven apprentices back then, made Lao Dao feel too much regret! "Master, you have been in retreat for many days, did you come out after cultivation and gain?" Qi Tianyuan served tea and asked.
"Alas, after many days of retreat, there is no bird harvest, but it is stuffy to death, and there is nothing to study the way of martial arts, and the art of immortality is estimated to be the moon in the water, the flower in the mirror, I have never heard of anyone who can never die, so there can be no special case to me."
"I originally wanted to come out for a walk, but I didn't suddenly receive news about your seventh junior brother, so I came out. This statement startled Qi Yuanshan and asked: "The seventh senior brother and his wife have been dead for many years, what news can alarm your old man." ”
The old man of Tianqi took out a letter from his arms and handed it to Qi Yuanshan, he looked at it by the moonlight and was horrified, it turned out that this handwriting was indeed the hand of Lao Qi, he hurriedly opened the letter, and his pounding heart calmed down. The old man Tianqi said: "This letter should come from the hand of Huo Zun, one of the four protectors under Lao Qi, he is extremely smart, and he is often by Lao Qi's side, so he can imitate the notes vividly." What do you think about this?"
"The apprentice doesn't dare to speak, and ask the master to decide" Qi Tianyuan was silent, bowed his head and pondered, and the grievances and hatreds of more than 20 years came to his mind again.
"I really didn't expect that Lao Qi and Yunsheng's children were still alive, and it was difficult for Huo Zun to be a hero many years ago, and he had raised the child alone for many years, since he proposed to send the child over now, it is not easy for us to refuse, after all, we are still the elders of the child!" "Master is magnanimous, when Lao Qi betrayed the master, the master does not blame him at all, and the disciple must learn from the master at this point." The old Taoist brushed his beard and said: "He has his difficulties, and he insisted on leaving the division back then so that he would not affect us in the future." ”
"Yes, when he left, he gave you back twelve kowtows and said that he would be a teacher for one day and a father for life! He is usually sinister and cunning, and he is stubborn and self-serving, but he has always respected you. Qi Yuanshan was very unhappy in his heart.
The old man didn't answer his words, but said, "Then Huo Zun said that his old injury has recurred, and time is running out, let's send someone to pick up the child, who do you think is appropriate?" Qi Tianyuan was silent for a while and said: "I'm the only one in the door, or I'll go."
Tianqi Lao Dao smiled in his heart, "Well, you just go down the mountain to see if there is a suitable girl" Qi Tianyuan Lao blushed, and said I will go back as soon as possible, Master, please rest assured.""
"There are rumors in the rivers and lakes that Lao Qi got the treasure of the Dragon Cave, I don't know how the mystery of the treasure of the Dragon Cave has reappeared in the rivers and lakes recently, you inquire together, his martial arts suddenly increased dramatically, and there must be something strange. ”
"Okay Master" Qi Yuanshan got up to receive the order.
