Chapter 8: Walking (II)
However, seeing the blank expressions of the two, she was slightly stunned, her mind changed, and then she smiled bitterly.
After all, for Yuan Yi, who is neither a person in the rivers and lakes, nor a Confucian student, and is only eleven or twelve years old, and was born in a mountain village, such characters are still too far away.
Therefore, she did not go into details, but said: "In short, he is a big man in our country. ”
"However, why did a big man like him come to this faction?" Yuan Yi looked puzzled.
When the woman heard this, she sighed again and said, "Because a few months ago, Feng Lao was implicated in a big literary case, and it is said that his whole family suffered because of this, and only one escaped from him. Therefore, you should remember that although it is possible to gain fame and fame by using articles as a means of making a living, and to gain high positions and enjoy glory and wealth, it may also be the source of misfortune and disaster. Therefore, when you make a living from writing, you must be cautious in your words, so as not to accidentally get into trouble, suffer from disasters, and fall into a situation where you will never recover. ”
The two continued to nod their heads again and again as if they didn't understand, although they didn't actually understand the words of the woman surnamed Shen, but in terms of attitude, the two of them unanimously expressed their very much agreement!
Seeing the appearance of the two of them, the woman was "addicted to human teachers" again, and then she smiled slightly, paused for a while, and then talked eloquently: "However, when it comes to articles, I have to talk about some things related to you." ”
The two of them hurriedly listened.
I only heard her continue: "According to the practice of this sect, in view of the fact that most of the beginner disciples are from poor families, before officially practicing martial arts, they must enter the academy of this sect to study for a period of time, and the minimum requirement for coming out is to be able to read common books. ”
"Academy", when Yuan Yi heard these two words, his heart moved, but he didn't expect such a good thing.
In the countryside, for the almost illiterate villagers, the school has always been a sacred place, because it is an important way to a higher level. In this way, the ignorance can be removed, people's wisdom can be increased, and it is convenient to contact the outside world, and then the situation of being trapped in the mountains can be changed!
Thinking of this, Yuan Yi's face was happy, and on the other hand, the girl was also very happy.
As they spoke, the three of them had already crossed the martial arts training ground and followed the path where Old Feng came, and arrived in front of the building.
On the ground in front of the building, a hundred zhang flagpole stands straight, on it, a gray golden dragon flag is fluttering in the wind, and the sound of hunting comes from time to time, this is the dragon flag as a destination symbol at the time of yesterday's assessment!
Behind the flagpole is a three-storey attic, and on both sides of the attic gate, two stone lions are coiled. At the top of the gate, there is a plaque engraved with three gilt characters. Although the attic looks quite simple, it has a majestic momentum from it, so that people passing by know that it is not simple!
"This is the Martial Arts Pavilion! There are all kinds of martial arts secret books hidden in it, as well as other messy books. As long as you are a disciple of the sect, holding a token and contributing according to the sect, you can enter and borrow it. It's a pity that because of the sect's regulations, I can't take you in today. The woman pointed forward and said slowly.
The expressions of Yuan Yi and the others also changed from heartbeat to disappointment with their words.
Then, the three of them crossed the Martial Arts Pavilion and walked along the path, and soon the noise of the martial arts field was left behind, and gradually fell silent.
After passing through a narrow road lined with flowers and trees and shaded by thick shade, the eyes of the three of them suddenly lit up!
I saw not far ahead, a few acres of flat land on both sides, planted with several plane trees, the tree is more than ten zhang high, on its left and right sides, there are several small buildings built of more than three floors, blue bricks, the windows in each building are blocked, the door is closed, in addition to the sound of the wind blowing the branches and leaves, insects and birds chirping, a quiet and peaceful appearance.
"This is the Dragon Yin Academy!" said the woman surnamed Shen, leading the two of them forward from a path several zhang wide between the plane trees.
Yuan Yi and the others looked at their surroundings curiously, looking at what would bring changes to the two of them.
However, after looking at it for a while, Yuan Yi couldn't help but be disappointed, although he couldn't see the layout of the building, but from the outside, these buildings were not as good as the Wujing Pavilion that he had passed before, which was a world of difference from the image of the school that Yuan Yi expected.
The woman surnamed Shen deliberately slowed down, and only after seeing that the two of them lost interest in the surroundings did she speed up her pace, and took the two of them, stepping on the fallen leaves on the ground, and left from the other side of the school in a "rustle" sound.
Next, among the various buildings on the top of the Heavenly Sword Peak, the figures of the three people pointing at them appeared from time to time.
Soon, the fiery red sun hung high in the sky, but it was noon!
The woman surnamed Shen looked at the scorching sun in the sky, took out a hidden handkerchief, wiped the fine sweat on her forehead and pink face slightly, turned to Yuan Yi and the two and said, "At the top of the peak, except for a few forbidden places, we have all walked through. Now let's have lunch first, and after a little rest, I'll take you around the back mountain. ”
Yuan Yi and the two naturally nodded in agreement.
The three of them immediately walked to the Houshan God Kitchen Building.
......
In the Shen Kitchen Building, after lunch, around a stone table, the three of them sat on the stone bench and were resting.
Suddenly, the girl said, "Senior sister is so familiar with this sect, could it be that she grew up here?"
"Yes, the Dragon Yin Sect is my home!" the woman surnamed Shen said when she heard this.
"Senior sister, why do the top of the five peaks of the Ben Sect seem to be mediocre?" the girl asked curiously.
When Yuan Yi heard this, he was slightly stunned, and he was also curious, so he looked at the woman surnamed Shen.
"Hehe, this question, when I was a child, I also asked my grandfather, and according to him, it involves an ancient legend!"
Seeing the question, the woman surnamed Shen replied, and then saw the two people listening, so she paused for a moment, organized a speech, and continued:
This legend says that I don't know how long ago, the five peaks of Longyin were originally tens of thousands of feet high, and their tops were even towering in the clouds, at that time, from a distance, only the waist of the peak could be seen. Suddenly, one day, a flying sword flew from the sky, flashing with a cold light, exuding a white sword aura, accompanied by the sound of the dragon's chant, under a sword, the five peaks of the dragon's chant were all cut in half, leaving only the five peaks like today!"
"That flying sword, is it really that magical?" Yuan Yi was shocked, but he couldn't help but wonder.
"It's just a legend. In the legend, even if it is magical, it is forgivable. The sources of various legends are all formed by later generations based on the original little wonders or wonders, and by imagination step by step. Therefore, nine out of ten legendary things are false. The woman surnamed Shen smiled disapprerovitically.
"Could it be that this legend is also fake?" Yuan Yi was still entangled in this.
"Of course. If it is true, it can only be done by the gods. The woman surnamed Shen said as a matter of course, and then smiled.
"Is there really an immortal in the world?" the girl asked, blinking her sparkling eyes and looking like a curious baby.
"Immortals! Maybe there is, maybe not, who knows. The woman said with a slight hesitation.
Then, she looked certain, and said: "The matter of the immortals, even if there is, is too far away from us, just think about it in your heart, don't really get entangled in those virtual scenes." Let's rest for a while and let's go. ”
......
A quarter of an hour later, the three of them walked out of the Shen Kitchen Building and continued walking in the back mountain.
Although the back mountain area is a place where the sect people live, the buildings are not as dense as the top of Tianjian Peak, and because of the changeable terrain, all kinds of houses are scattered in the east and west, scattered among various valleys and mountain cols, looking scattered.
However, this time, the woman surnamed Shen did not take Yuan Yi and the two to visit the buildings in the back mountain, as if she had a purpose, she ignored the frequent questions of the two on the road, and just rushed forward along the winding and undulating mountain road.
Half an hour later, the three of them came to the top of a mountain range.
At this time, the woman surnamed Shen stopped, turned around, smiled, and said to the two: "It's here, look!"
As she spoke, she pointed her right hand and pointed forward.
When the two of them heard this, they immediately looked forward, only to see that a hundred zhang away was a circle of iron fences, and the fences were dozens of zhang high.
Within it, the terrain is diverse, with plains, woods, valleys, basins, etc. A group of elk, zebras, flower deer and a spotted leopard, black-striped tiger, curly-nosed giant elephant and other animals are either hunting, or fleeing, or resting, at the same time, bursts of tiger howls, wolf howls, deer roars come from time to time, which is mixed with the wailing and screaming of some beasts before death, at first glance, Yuan Yi and the two are almost suspicious of the animal kingdom.
"What's that?" the girl asked in surprise when she saw this.
"This is the place where the sect keeps all kinds of wild beasts in captivity, and it is called the Ten Thousand Beasts Hunting Ground. Among them, in addition to beasts can be used as meat, some beasts can also be used to train martial arts, so that disciples can quickly improve their external skills. The woman surnamed Shen explained with a slight smile.
As soon as he heard this, Yuan Yi relied on his keen eyes and looked into the hunting ground in the distance.
Sure enough, he saw that among them, some people were fighting with the beasts.
They were bare-handed, or armed with swords, or carrying bows and arrows, and they were wrestled with wolves, tigers, elephants, and bears. The place where they fought was extremely far away from the large herd of beasts, apparently to prevent the beasts from besieging and avoiding accidents. I saw that in those fields, the trees were falling and the branches were chaotic, the smoke and dust were billowing, and the howls of people and beasts were coming and going, a thrilling scene, and it was obvious that the battle on the other side was in white heat.
Although the girl did not have the same powerful eyesight as Yuan Yi, she could also know the fierce human-beast battle scene in the distance through the faint shadows that kept beating in the mountains and forests in the distance and the various beast roars.
"So, in the hunting ground, it is possible to die?" Yuan Yi looked at it, retracted his gaze, tilted his head slightly, looked at the woman, and said in a deep voice.
These words also attracted the girl's attention, and she also stared at the woman, expecting her to reply.
"Of course. Of those who entered in, six or seven out of ten were buried in it. After all, although fighting with beasts can quickly increase the cultivation of external skills, but there are many beasts in the hunting ground, and if you are not careful, you will be surrounded, and you will die; Therefore, when you enter the hunting ground in the future, you must walk cautiously and do what you can, and you must not be careless for a moment!" said the woman surnamed Shen slowly, and at the same time solemnly warned the two.
When the girl heard this, her face turned pale and pale, and Yuan Yi's expression was quite ugly.
The woman surnamed Shen seemed to have expected this, and then she slowly talked about the situation in the hunting ground.
knew that his words were related to the life and death of the two, so they all stood quietly behind them, looking like they were listening attentively.
The three of them talked on the ridge, but they no longer went to other directions, until the sun was setting in the west and the sunset was full of mountains, and the two of them reluctantly returned to their respective residences, had dinner, and washed and slept respectively.
In the next few days, because the woman surnamed Shen had another sect mission, she didn't have much free time.
Therefore, Yuan Yi and the girl went together to play in various mountains, valleys and cliffs, and for a while, the laughter was ringing, the laughter was full of cliffs, and a group of children and happy scenes appeared in the back mountain area!
