Volume 1 Chapter 17 The Lake Tour
Regarding the matter of the Vajra Sword being spiritualized and being refined all of a sudden, Chu Mo has not been able to find the answer in the book, but since the "Xuanyuan Qi Luck True Recipe" is such a rebellion, this seems to be reasonable.
"No matter, try its power first!"
Chu Mo's interest increased greatly, and he didn't care about the third watch in the middle of the night, opened the door, jumped up, and jumped onto the roof of the wing next door.
"Here comes the sword!"
Chu Mo shouted, and the Vajra Sword rose from the house, breaking through the air, and flew into his hand with lightning speed.
"Go!"
The Vajra Sword shone brightly, slashed through a long sword light, and landed on a large tree in the courtyard.
Bang!
Click!
The stout tree broke in response, and its branches swayed and slowly fell down.
"Not good!"
When Chu Mo saw the big tree pressing down on a living room, he immediately felt bad. It would be a great sin to crush someone!
Thinking of this, his mind moved, and the Vajra Sword drew a graceful arc, turned a big corner, turned around and flew directly under the trunk, just holding up the trunk.
"Up!"
Chu Mo played a trick, and the Vajra Sword shone brightly, lifted the trunk of the tree, slowly rose up, and then adjusted the direction and fell down to the other side.
However, at this moment, the Su family's compound was already full of lights, and everyone who heard the loud noise was stunned, and ran out in a panic.
"This ...... This is?"
The first one to arrive was Su Mubai, who had not gone far, looking at the big tree that had fallen to the ground, opening his lips, and being speechless for a long time. This big tree is thick and strong, and it must weigh at least thousands of catties, and even a few good lumberjacks will have to work for a day to cut it, but now, it is only the power of a sword!
"I'm sorry, this ...... I couldn't hold back just now. Chu Mo was a little embarrassed, in the middle of the night, he made such a big commotion, and cut down other people's trees for no reason, which was really a bit excessive.
Su Mubai was stunned for a while, finally recovered from the shock, and asked stupidly, "You did this?"
"Credit to it. Chu Mo pointed at the Vajra Sword, and then beckoned, and the Vajra Sword turned into a bolt of lightning, flying from a distance, hovering above his head.
"This is the power of the magic weapon...... It's really big!" Su Mubai looked at the Vajra Sword, like a child, his eyes flashed with little stars, full of surprise and envy.
"Are you envious? ask your grandfather to get you a copy of the immortal cultivation exercises, and I will teach you. ”
"Get a copy of the Immortal Cultivation Exercises?" Su Mubai glanced at him and looked at him like an idiot, "Do you think that the Immortal Cultivation Exercises are the big radishes on the street? ”
"If the big family and sect can't get the exercises, won't they fight the idea of the Holy Academy? With so many disciples, isn't there a single disciple who is short of money?"
"Look at you, you're as innocent as a pig. Su Mubai glanced at him again, and said: "What kind of place is that in the Holy Courtyard? That is the imperial court, and every disciple will make a heart demon blood oath before cultivating, if anyone leaks the slightest bit of exercise, it will go crazy! Besides, even if it is leaked, do you dare to cultivate? More than a hundred years ago, the Sima family, which was very prosperous, secretly practiced one of the spells because of stealing the secret book of the Holy Academy, and as a result, the emperor issued a holy decree and punished the nine clans, tens of thousands of heads, and the Titicaca's was gone! The people of my Su family are all mortals in the flesh, and their necks can't carry a big knife!"
When Chu Mo heard this, it turned out that he was lonely and unheard, so he had to pat his chest and said boldly: "It doesn't matter if you can't get it, I'll find a chance to grab a copy for you one day, it's really not good, wait until I find my master and teach you my exercises!"
"Really?!" Su Mubai asked excitedly when he heard this.
"Believe it or not, when I didn't say it. ”
"Wow!" Su Mubai shouted excitedly, "Chu Mo, Chu Mo, just by your words, I, Su Mubai, will recognize you as a brother-in-law, and I will follow you in the future, and I will choose from east to west, I will never say anything!"
Chu Mo was infected by his emotions and also laughed.
But immediately, he came back to his senses and felt that something was wrong: "What did you just say? Brother-in-law? Who is your brother-in-law?"
"Ahhh My sister is a beautiful woman who has captivated the country and the city, how can I push her into the fire pit!"
Chu Mo was not confused by his sense of humor, patted Su Mubai's head, and said solemnly: "You kid has something to hide from me, right?"
"This ......" Su Mubai pursed his lips, not knowing what to say for a while.
"Quick! go over and see, what's going on!" Coincidentally, there was a noisy noise outside the courtyard, and it turned out that the rest of the Su family had arrived.
Su Mubai breathed a sigh of relief, and his eyes rolled: "I'll tell you about this tomorrow, you can deal with the scene first, make such a big move, and explain it yourself." ”
After speaking, his ass twisted and he ran out of the door like a fly.
......
There are many lakes in Jiangzhou, and the Dream Lake not far from the city is famous all over the world, and many literati and scholars have left popular poems here.
It was the height of summer, the sun was like fire, and the dream rivers and lakes were steamy and sparkling. Fishing boats docked on the shore, and young children and young women carried pots and pulp, making noise back and forth. Idle businessmen and tourists weave through the crowds, and the entire lakeside is lit up and bustling.
It is an annual event to visit the lake. On this day, the talented and beautiful women of Jiangzhou will gather together to enjoy the scenery of the lake and the poems. Like the Lantern Festival, the ladies and ladies who only watch the boudoir on weekdays can come out to play on this day, so the whole lakeside is full of warblers and swallows, so it is not lively.
In a carved boat in the lake, two young men of seventeen or eighteen years old stood against the railing, overlooking the lake scenery, and one of the young people was also carrying a bouncing puppy by his side, and he was scurrying around at this time, and he was so jubilant.
"Mu Bai, you slipped away fast last night, you should be honest today, right? Come, tell me, what is there hidden here?"
"Hey...... Well, this one. Su Mu laughed thiefly: "You'll know when you see my sister later." I can tell you, my sister is the first beauty in Jiangzhou, proficient in poetry, books, etiquette and music, and has countless suitors. Usually one door does not go out of the other, and after marrying you, she will be a good wife who abides by the three obedience and four virtues. If you marry her, you will definitely envy those Jiangzhou Junyan to death, and you can wake up laughing in your dreams!"
Chu Mo glanced at him and said, "This is your grandfather's idea, right?"
"Can you see this?" Su Mubai was stunned for a moment, and then said to himself: "That's right, everyone has talked about this, if you can't see it anymore, my sister's fire pit is jumping." ”
Chu Mo shook his head and said nothing, after a few days, he had already understood Su Mubai's character. In front of people, he is a handsome son, and he holds the degree. In private, he is more upright than anyone else, a typical son-in-law, and he owes a beating.
"Who organized this lake tour? Could it be your Su family?" Chu Mo was a little curious, every year the lake tour event would be organized by a respected family in Jiangzhou City, and it was very likely that it would be the Su family this year.
"No, this year is the General Military Mansion, the same family that calculated you behind your back a few days ago, Su Shaoqing is the son of the General Military Mansion. ”
"Gu Shaoqing?"
"Yes, he is the son of Gu Tongzheng, the general soldier of Jiangzhou, who is arrogant and domineering on weekdays, and does many bad things. By the way, that bastard has been trying to marry my sister, you have to be careful!"
"Do you want to embarrass me?" Chu Mo pursed his lips and touched the vajra sword on his waist, and a killing intent spread.
Su Mubai was taken aback: "Chu Mo, you must be calm later! The General Military Mansion is different from my Su family, Gu Tong was born in the Holy Academy, and he is an immortal cultivator of the Yin God Realm, you must not annoy him." My sister and several elders of the Su family are already over there, we are late, I will explain this to you first, so that you don't have to wait for impulsiveness!"
"Gu Tong is an immortal cultivator?" Chu Mo's expression froze, and he asked, "How is his strength?"
"It is estimated that it is only a little bit more powerful than you, and the disciples of the Holy Academy with high talent are all staying in the capital, and they will not be sent here to be the chief soldier. ”
"Oh......" Chu Mo nodded, thinking about it.
At that moment, Su Mubai gave Chu Mo a general explanation of the power of Jiangzhou City, and before he knew it, the building boat had also arrived at its destination.
This is a peninsula in the Dream River Lake, there is a pavilion in the center of the island, called Dream River Tower, about ten zhang high, can overlook half of the lake.
The surroundings of Mengjiang Building are full of colorful flags, the path is covered with strange flowers and plants, the wine table on the lake beach is full of melons and fruits, pen, ink, paper and inkstone, all available.
Mengjiang was almost crowded with people next to the building, Chu Mo got off the boat with Xiaobai in his arms and stopped at a small temple next to the building.
Seeing that there were many people, Chu Mo didn't want to squeeze in desperately, and as the crowd moved, he came to a small temple not far from Mengjiang Tower.
The small temple is very old, there is no incense, and there are many murals carved on the walls, and the patterns on it have long been blurred due to the age and no one has repaired them.
Chu Mo didn't pay much attention at first, but after a casual glance, he couldn't take his eyes off it. He stared intently at the blurred paintings, reproducing the scene in his mind.
The mural can be roughly divided into two parts.
In the first half of the painting, there is a giant python with a large bucket of thick water, it soars in the middle of the lake, the sky is full of dark clouds, the turbid waves in the lake are emptied, and there are thousands of people on the shore to kowtow to it.
In the second half, the painting is a thin old man wearing a golden crown and spitting fire, he holds a seven-story pagoda, and uses his magical powers to suppress the giant python, the giant python spits out a fist-sized gold bead to fight with the old man, and the old man is seriously injured, but the gold bead is taken away by the pagoda, and the giant python is killed in front of the lake temple.
Chu Mo's heart tumbled for a while, and his intuition told him that the scenes depicted on these murals were definitely not fabricated out of thin air, and the giant python and the master with great magical powers really existed.
"Interested in the mural?" Su Mubai saw Chu Mo's expression was different, and explained: "This is the Lake Temple, more than a hundred years ago, there was a big demon in the Purple Mansion Realm in the Dream River and Lake, and the local fishermen and people built this Lake Temple here in order to appease it, and the first half of the mural describes the great demon's magical powers. However, later, this big demon was killed by the masters of the Holy Courtyard, and the people celebrated and cheered, so they recorded the scene of the strong man of the Holy Court killing the big demon. ”
"I see. Chu Mo lowered his head and groaned, "Yesterday, I took the power of the King Kong Sword, thinking that I was very remarkable, but I didn't expect that it was just a frog at the bottom of the well." It seems that there is still a long way to go before you reach the top and pursue the truth. ”
Chu Mo muttered to himself, secretly made up his mind, and then continued to walk towards the Lake Temple, wanting to see what other "ruins" there were.
At this moment, a melodious sound of the piano suddenly came from outside the temple.
The sound of the piano is like water, gentle and continuous, sometimes soothing like a flowing spring, sometimes rushing over like a waterfall, the sound of the river and the sea, making people enter.
Chu Mo didn't understand the rhythm, but he was deeply attracted by the sound of the piano, and he only felt that it was like listening to the sound of an immortal, and his thoughts were accessible and extremely happy.
"It's my sister!" Su Mubai in the distance suddenly shouted: "This is my sister's piano sound, let's hurry up and see it!"
After speaking, without waiting for Chu Mo, he quickly ran out of the small temple. Chu Mo had no choice but to follow. However, as soon as he looked up, he immediately froze.
It was a peerless fairy with autumn water as eyes and condensation as skin. She was wearing a pomegranate red cloud brocade veil, with a golden hairpin flower in her temples, and a pair of slender jade hands wearing two strings of bells, swaying from side to side when she stroked the piano, making bursts of pleasant trills.
She sat in the piano pavilion of Mengjiang Building, a small incense burner was placed on the piano case, and next to it was an extraordinary maid, and the whole island, regardless of men, women and children, their eyes were gathered between that side, admiring this fairy who fell into the dust.
In the distance, a few handsome people who boasted of their skillful hands put out the writing and ink, and under the service of the servants, they were fascinated by their handwriting, just trying to trace her fairy posture.
