Chapter 9: Purple and Blue
It is said that Mu Jiu Shi followed the Great Elder to the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion and entered the courtyard, and the Great Elder called a disciple of the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion and said: "This is the closed disciple I received, and he will be your junior disciple in the future, and the two of you will lead him to rest in his other courtyard." The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info "Two disciples responded.
Mu Jiu Shi was smiling blankly. The Great Elder turned to Mu Jiu Shi again and said, "What are you laughing at, follow Senior Brother over, and I will be looking for you kid later." ”
Mu Jiuten replied: "Yes." Master. The Great Elder shook his head and had no choice but to give up.
The Tibetan Scripture Pavilion is distributed in the shape of "Wang", the last is the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion, the middle is the residence of the elder and his personal disciples, and the front is the residence of the inner disciples.
When Mu Jiu arrived at his courtyard, he was indeed a little surprised, he thought that the small courtyard where he lived with Jian Fourteen during the assessment was already big enough, but when he arrived here, he knew how luxurious the courtyard of his own disciples was.
The gate enters, is the flower platform door erected, so that people can not see the inside, on the Sui Dynasty Kong Shao'an's poem "Falling Leaves": early autumn frightened leaves, floating like a guest heart. Flipping and refusing to go down, he still regrets his hometown.
Entering from the left and right, there is a small pond, the water depth is only half a foot, there are water lilies lying quietly, and there are swimming fish playing in the water below, so you are not comfortable. On the left is a pavilion, on the book "Xian Pavilion", four stone benches and a stone table in the pavilion, there is a Go on the table, a guqin. On the right is the abode's quarters, as well as the kitchen and other miscellaneous areas. In addition to the two sword attendants, the personal disciples can also recruit five attendants to be responsible for food and daily life, and the treatment is not bad.
Further inside is the martial arts training ground, which is used for cultivation, and in the middle is his own residence. An attic with three floors, the first floor is the swordsman's residence, the second floor is the reception area, and the third floor is the master bedroom.
The whole courtyard is quaint, natural, fresh and elegant. Sitting north and facing south, it is a place of retreat with excellent feng shui.
Mu Jiu Shi sighed a little: "This is much stronger than Shushan and the place where the old man lives." But he didn't think so. Not long after, the disciple who had brought him here came to call him again, saying that the Great Elder had come to him.
Mu Jiu followed him to a tall building, nine stories high, the gate was opened, and the Great Elder stood at the door. The disciple retired, and the Great Elder spoke, "You come with me." After Mu Jiu Ten followed, the door automatically closed with a flick of the Great Elder's hand.
When he arrived at a room on the first floor, the Great Elder didn't take a breath as soon as he sat down: "You kid, did I say that you kid did it on purpose?"
Mu Jiu Shi looked at the Great Elder with a grin: "Old man, you still talk about me? Don't you get cheap and sell well, do you want to be shameless, what about the twenty fish that you said were good?" Don't pay the bill." ”
The Great Elder's face was pale: "Don't put gold on your face, I've seen a lot of old men with better qualifications than you, it's not that I'm forced to be helpless, so I won't accept you." ”
Mu Jiu didn't answer, and immediately said, "Okay, how knowledgeable is your old man, where is my fish?"
The Great Elder was surprised: "What kind of fish? Didn't you give you the exercises to offset it?"
Mu Jiuyi was speechless for a while: "What offset? I agreed? I agreed? I said that you are an elder when you are older, or is it big, and you are now my master when you are small, are you kind?
The Great Elder was even more speechless: "In the end, you are the master, I am the master, oops, I am really ......"
Mu Jiu Shi smiled: "Of course you are the master, you are, since there is no fish, what, give me the mental method of the sword technique you made, I can't make this sword move out to fight every day, in case I meet a master, I am not dead?"
The Great Elder froze for a moment: "It turns out that your kid has this idea, and I will naturally say it later, but that heaven-level exercise can only be practiced by the elders, unless you can win the big competition in the village at the end of the year." It's not a few months since I calculate the time, otherwise I wouldn't dare to teach lightly. ”
Mu Jiu Shi pursed his lips, and the Great Elder said again, "I asked you to come over because there was something else that would make you troubled." No, the clothes on the table are for you, a total of three sets, and you will wear this in the future. In addition, the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion is different from other halls, and there are a total of 48 white-clothed disciples in my Tibetan Scripture Pavilion, and they take turns guarding the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion three times. You are the only purple-clothed disciple, and I have never had an apprentice, old man. As for the miscellaneous disciples, there are more than a dozen, and you will gradually get to know them in the future. ”
Mu Jiu nodded and listened carefully, and the Great Elder continued: "My Scripture Pavilion does not have so many particularities and rules, and no one is allowed to enter this pavilion without my permission, you are the only exception. However, it should also be remembered that the first to third floors are human-level exercises and hundreds of miscellaneous collections, the fourth to sixth floors are earth-level exercises, and as for the seventh floor and above, it is strictly forbidden to enter without my permission. ”
Mu Jiu nodded in response. The Great Elder said, "Everything you want to learn is in it, find it yourself." The Tibetan Scripture Pavilion has the world's books, exercises, hundreds of miscellaneous studies, no less than 100,000 copies, although it is not comparable to the palace, but the collection of swordsmanship is definitely the most in the world. The villa contains more than 20,000 kinds of swordsmanship, I know you are talented, but you must also remember not to be greedy. ”
The Great Elder saw that Mu Jiu Shi had indeed listened, nodded, and continued: "When the other people come, they will follow me to the Sword Shrine to find the sword." After that, go to the Elders of the Interior to receive this month's monthly salary, and choose your own attendants, understand?"
Mu Jiu replied: "Understood, now now?" "Now go and change it, and then go to the main hall and wait." Get out of here. "Oh. Then he took his clothes, and turned and went out.
An hour later, Bahu, Jian Fourteen, Lu Tianming, Lu Jiacai, and Mu Jiu were all waiting in the main hall. Mu Jiu Shi and Jian Fourteen were chatting, and Jian Fourteen didn't say a word, obviously thinking about something. Bahu is a real person, and the two of them are chatting with Lu Jiacai, only Lu Tianming is alone without saying a word, and he doesn't know what to do in his heart.
After a while, the internal affairs elder came over: "You five come with me." The five of them answered, followed the Elder of Internal Affairs, walked through the courtyard, walked a few more corridors, and finally reached the lakeside behind the villa. There is a section behind the Tibetan Sword Villa that is directly built on the lakeside, and a long corridor stretches out to the center of the lakeside. It is surrounded by 8 water buildings, like eight gods, guarding the end of the corridor.
Walking to the pavilion at the end, the internal affairs elder spoke: "Below this is the sword mound, where the owners and elders of my village, the battles, the competitions, and the weapons that I have collected for many years after their deaths. Even the worst is a first-class weapon in the world, and you can go into the water and get it yourself. The sword has a spirit, and if you get it, it's which. If you don't get it, it's not time, and each person can only go into the water once to get it, understand?"
The five nodded in response. Bahu opened his mouth and said, "Elder, Bahu is not good at water. The Elder of Internal Affairs smiled: "It's okay, I said that the sword has a spirit." Bahu nodded: "Then Bahu will go and get it first." Mu Jiu Shi felt that it didn't matter, but Lu Tianming thought in his heart: "It's okay to let this stupid big guy go down to explore." ”
Bahu stripped off his clothes and jumped into the water, only to come up in just a minute, still holding a pair of sledgehammers in his hands. The internal affairs elder seemed to be surprised, and spoke: "This pair of hammers is called the Hongmao Hammer, which is used by the eighth generation of the Soldier Armor Hall Master of the Mountain Villa, and it is just right for you. ”
Bahu came up, Lu Tianming hurriedly went up and asked: "Big man, how did you get it?" Bahu said happily: "Bahu doesn't know, after I went down, I haven't dived a few meters yet, and the hammer floated up by itself." The crowd was amazed.
Immediately afterwards, Lu Tianming also jumped into the water, and after a while, Lu Tianming climbed up exhausted, holding a white jade-colored sword in his hand, and the scabbard was engraved with "Gentleman's Sword" Mu Jiu0 "Hehe" smiled "This sword is the wrong person." ”
The internal elder spoke again: "This sword was found from outside by a disciple of the inner gate, but it is a first-class weapon, but no one has used it in the village, I don't know what is strange, it was thrown by the previous generation of the owner." ”
After Lu Jiacai went into the water, it was easiest to say that he was in the water, but it was better to say that he was picking it up, because as soon as he jumped down, a fan floated up beside him, and he didn't even dive.
"At this time, a certain disciple of the thirteenth generation picked it up by the lakeside, and I don't know if it has it or what it is used for, but it is undoubtedly a first-class weapon in the world. The Elder of Internal Affairs spoke lightly.
At this time, Jian Fourteen also jumped into the water, and after a long time, he was also exhausted, but he came up empty-handed. Everyone was amazed, even the Elders of Internal Affairs. I had to open my mouth to comfort: "It's okay, since you haven't got it, it's not time, the year-end competition, if you win, you still have a chance to come here." Jian Fourteen froze for a moment, and without saying much, he hugged his fists at the elder and thanked him.
Mu Jiu Shi looked at everyone in some surprise, looked at Jian Fourteen curiously, and then jumped into the water. "Finally entered this sword shrine, where are the purple and green double swords?"
After a long while, Mu Jiushi was already unable to hold his breath, and at this moment, it was all his own internal force that was circulating, and he was struggling to persevere. Just as Mu Jiu Shi carried the Ziyang and Purple Yin internal strength, two light and shadow brushes flew in, hovering beside Mu Jiu Shi, and then followed Mu Jiu Shi's two hands into Mu Jiu Shi's body.
This time it was good, it scared Mu Jiu Shi half to death, choked on a mouthful of water, and had to go upstream desperately. Out of the water, Mu Jiuten, who was also empty-handed, made Lu Tianming laugh for a while: "It seems that some people are unlucky, and they have to be contaminated with mildew when they live in a yard with him, it's really unlucky, hahahahaha." ”
Jian Fourteen glanced at Lu Tianming, and Lu Tianming didn't think so. After Mu Jiu was dressed, the Great Elder spoke: "It's okay, since that's the case, I'll go and choose an attendant." Then he turned and left, and the crowd followed.
Back in the main hall, there were four or five hundred people standing in the main hall at this moment. Among them, there are more than 300 men and more than 100 women, all of whom are about 14 to 20.
The Elder of the House said, "Each of you may choose five of them, starting with the disciples of the Great Elder, and then proceeding in order. ”
Mu Jiu Shi stepped forward, looked at the people below for a while, and asked, "If you are willing to be my attendant, raise your hand and take a look." "Maybe it's because Mu Jiu Shi is not famous, and everyone doesn't come to the Tibetan Sword Villa for a day or two, and they also know what the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion is. It is said to be the place of the Great Elder, but there is almost no bright day, except for leisure, the others are almost the same as the cold palace. So there were only five people who raised their hands, and three of them were women.
Mu Jiu was a little speechless, so he had to say, "Then you five." Then the five men stepped out of the column and stood aside.
Because the second elder is not the fifth disciple, the next thing is to choose between Jian Fourteen and Lu Tianming. The situation of Sword Fourteen is similar to that of Mu Ninety, but it is a little better, there are still about thirty people, and Sword Fourteen has selected five male attendants. And Lu Tianming's side was a bit exaggerated, there were more than 300 people willing to go, but Lu Tianming was the opposite of Jian Fourteen, and selected five female attendants.
And Bahu, Lu Jiacai and Jian Fourteen are not much different, they are all twenty or thirty people willing, so five were selected at random.
After this incident, each took his own people and went back to his own courtyard.
The courtyard is nameless and needs to be taken by the owner himself. Of course, you can also ask the elders of the sect to help you get it. Mu Jiuten thought of Shushan, and carved a simple name "Ziqing Yuan" with a sword in his yard, which was taken from the Ziqing double sword.
Back in the courtyard, Mu Jiushi asked, "What are your names, what do you know, what do you know?"
The children of the rivers and lakes don't ask about the source, and Mu Jiushi doesn't want to study it carefully. The personal disciples are the same as the elder's sons, and the attendants are not considered disciples, but their positions are higher than those of ordinary inner disciples, because they represent the people behind them.
The woman standing in the first said: "Young Master Hui, my name is Xiaomei, I know how to do needlework, and I use a soft sword." "The soft sword, also called the embroidered sword, is used by many women, so that it is skillful, because the sword body is soft and does not focus.
The second woman continued: "My name is Xiaolan, I can sing and dance, and I also use a soft sword. ”
The third woman immediately received: "My name is Xiaoju, and I can play with some flowers and plants, and I use a soft sword." ”
Mu Jiu Shi was surprised, one with a soft sword was okay, and the three asked, "Are you three sisters?"
The first woman returned: "Master Hui, yes, the three of us are sisters. ”
Mu Jiu Shi was a little surprised and nodded.
Then the fourth person continued: "Young Master Hui, my name is An Fu, his name is An Gui, I am brothers, and he is a mute. My younger brother used to be a cook, and it was not a problem for him to do laundry, cleaning, and raising horses. The Tang knife I use, the hand axe he uses. ”
The last man made a gesture to Mu Jiuten.
Mu Jiu Ten looked at the two of them, and finally looked at the five of them, his gaze made the five of them a little cramped. I only heard Mu Jiu Shi speak: "There are so many people in the main hall, only the five of you are willing to come to me, why?" he picked up the teacup and put it down: "I want to listen to the truth, I know that you must have a purpose, no matter what the matter is, what the purpose is, it is best to say it now." Otherwise, in the future, I don't care about your life or death. ”
Don't look at Mu Jiu Ji Xiao, this year is only seventeen years old, but when he was in Shushan, he didn't run down the mountain or kill people. Jing Nengwen, kinetic Wu, is talking about people like Mu Jiuten.
Listening to the killing intent in Mu Jiu's words, the five of them hurriedly knelt down and fell to the ground, not daring to say anything.
Mu Jiu Shi picked up the teacup, took a sip, and said, "Let's talk about them one by one," and looked at An Fu again: "An Fu, you say it first." ”
An Fu trembled and spoke: "Return, back to the young master, I have no choice but to do it..."Before he finished speaking, Mu Jiu Shi interrupted: "Okay, let's talk about the point, what is the last resort, everyone says that they are forced to come to me?"
An Fu hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, yes, what the young master said is that my brothers were originally disciples in the outer courtyard, which was very good." One day I went to Binhu to fish, and caught a two-tailed red sea bream, which was worth 100 gold, and was seen by Zhou Lin, the son of Yangzhou Taishou. But fortunately, Zhou Lin was a reasonable person and gave me twenty or eighty gold. In order to avoid trouble, I sold the fish to him. Unexpectedly, he was curious for a moment and reached out to touch it. The two-tailed red snapper was not dead, and it bit on it. The two-tailed red sea bream is extremely poisonous, and it can be eaten to remove all kinds of poisons, but it is dead and lifeless when it is bitten. ”
Mu Jiu Shi nodded: "Then it's no wonder that you two are doing this, what about after that?"
An Fu continued: "After that, I didn't ask for the gold, and went back to the villa. But unexpectedly, it was too guarded and accountable. After the owner of the village knew, he presided over justice for the two of us, and there was no way to keep it. It's just that the closed disciple of Elder Outer Gate Mu is the nephew of Taishou, and he designs to kill the two of us all day long, so that the two of us don't even dare to go out of the villa again, even in the village, An Gui is still poisoned by him. This is the third year that my brother has come here, and no one has ever chosen the two of us in previous years, and I asked my son to take them in, otherwise my two brothers will not survive this year. ”
Mu Jiu Shi sighed: "I think you two are also innocent, okay, you two get up first, stay for the time being." The two of them kept thanking each other. After that, he looked at Xiaomei and the three of them and asked, "What about the three of you?"
Xiaomei looked helpless and returned: "Back to the young master, the three of us sisters were targeted by Jin Duoduo, the son of the richest man in Jiangnan, and later had the honor to worship the inner door of the villa, but I didn't want to punish the hall master, the third elder grandson Wen Jinduo and Jin Duoduo are irreversible friends. Although he did not dare to be blatant, he also had various ways to harass us. The three of my sisters were so overwhelmed that they had no choice but to find another way out, and no matter how bad it was, they could find a place to hide. After saying that, he lowered his head even lower.
Mu Jiu Shi was surprised: "Jin Duoduo? is that very fat Jin Duoduo?" Xiaomei replied: "Exactly." ”
"Okay, I'll help you solve this matter, as for that Wen Jinduo," Mu Jiu Jiu couldn't help laughing, "Wen Jinduo, it's no wonder that the two of them will play together." Come on, get up, and the three of you go find a room by yourself and clean up and stay. The three of them kept thanking each other.
Seeing that dusk was approaching, Mu Jiu Shi said again: "You five go and change it, An Gui will take a look at what is in the kitchen, remember that the miscellaneous disciples sent a lot of them earlier, you can make a table of dishes and everyone taste." The five of them retreated. Mu Jiu Shi smiled self-deprecatingly: "It seems that I have to go to that fat man, hey." ”
At sunset, in the courtyard, a table of dishes is steaming, full of color and flavor. After Mu Jiu Shi sat down, several other people stood one after another, and Mu Jiu Shi frowned: "Why are you standing?" sit down for me, and don't call me young master in the future, I'm not used to it." A few people thanked them, and after sitting down, Xiaolan spoke: "Then let's call Gongzi, so as not to lose rudeness." Mu Jiu nodded his head: "Whatever you want, just don't call the young master, I don't have so many generals, you will know in the future." ”
A banquet similar to the wind, the guests and hosts were happy.
