Chapter 6 The experience of the master
Fifty years ago, demons were rampant in the world, and the disciples of Shushan went down the mountain to kill demons and eliminate demons.
At the right time, the hundred-year period of the head of Shushan is approaching, and it is necessary to select a disciple with both ability and political integrity among the many disciples to inherit the power of the head and promote the right path.
Among the many Shushan disciples, the most talented is the senior brother Qing Daoling, of course, the other disciples also have their own strengths, and the head of the sect consulted with the elders to elect the new head through the decennial sword test conference in Shushan.
At the sword test conference, the Qing Dao spiritual skills were overwhelming, and everyone expected it.
At the end of the sword trial, Qingdao Ling was ordered to go down the mountain to the world to train as the master. During the training of the master, no spells shall be used, and no human life shall be harmed.
Qing Dao Ling Imperial Sword flies, white clothes fluttering, good fairy wind Dao Gu.
"Burn her, burn her".
This was followed by a miserable plea of "Don't, don't, please, let my daughter go."
"Your daughter is an evil creature that has brought disaster to the village, and now the plague is rampant, and the only way to save the whole village is to burn this scourge"
"Burn her, burn her"
This burst of sound reached the ears of Qing Dao Ling, and Qing Dao Ling followed the sound and came to a deserted fishing village, the houses were broken, and the village was full of collapsed villagers, some were dying, some were bloodless, and some had unkempt hair, and they were very decrepit.
The voice just now became clearer and clearer, and Qingdao Ling followed the sound and saw a group of people shouting around the place: "Burn her, burn her."
An old woman's voice came from inside: "I beg you to release my daughter, you will burn me and release my daughter."
"Don't embarrass my mother, my mother's daughter can't serve you until she is old."
When I walked in, I saw a woman of about 18 years old on a wooden stake, and there was a pile of firewood underneath. Qingdao jumped up, flew over everyone's heads, stood in front of the woman and said: "In broad daylight, burning a weak woman alive is not tolerated."
"This woman is ominous, constantly bringing disasters to the village, and now only by burning her can the disaster end, for the sake of the whole village, this scourge must be burned today."
Immediately afterwards, the village chief said: "This is the matter of this village, and it has nothing to do with you, an outsider, so get out of the way quickly, otherwise you will be burned to death."
"Hero, go quickly! They will really burn you, I don't regret dying, but I beg the hero to help me settle my mother, so that she can spend her old age in peace, and in the next life, I will repay the hero's kindness as a cow and a horse" The woman pleaded with Qingdao Ling.
The villagers should shout in unison: "Burn them, burn them". As he spoke, he threw the torch in his hand at Qingdao Ling and the woman.
"Don't," the old woman shouted desperately to her daughter when she saw that everyone was still holding the torches, and fainted as soon as she finished speaking.
With a swing of his sword, Qingdao Ling scattered the torches, and turned around to cut the rope tied to the woman.
"Stop them, if you don't burn this ominous woman today, the plague will spread, and the whole village will die," the village chief shouted. The crowd raised their farming tools and rushed forward, surrounding the two of them.
"Put that woman down, don't burn her today, tomorrow it will be us who will die, burn her to save the life of the village," the village chief roared.
"Ridiculous," Qing Daoling said angrily when he saw that the villagers were ignorant.
"Let's do it, they are in a gang, burn them to sacrifice to the sky today, and there will be no disaster in our village," the village chief encouraged the villagers.
The villagers raised their farm tools and waved them at Qing Daoling and the woman, and Qing Daoling wanted to swing his sword to fight with the villagers, only to remember that during the training, he was not allowed to use spells or hurt people's lives. Then he hugged the woman and let the villagers beat her. There was a burst of punches and kicks, sticks and sticks, and suddenly a villager shouted, Oh no, the flood is coming again, everyone quickly hide in the mountains.
The villagers who had beaten them ran away without a trace in an instant, leaving only the Qingdao Spirit still there holding the woman. Not far away lay an old woman.
"Hero, eh, eh, hero, they're gone, you can let me go!" the woman said.
At this time, Qingdao Ling came to his senses, took a deep breath and fainted.
"Hero, what's wrong with you, Hero", Qing Daoling's voice sounded in the woman's ears. Unable to use spells, the spirit was severely injured by the villagers, and he gradually lost consciousness.
At this time, the old woman in the distance woke up when she heard her daughter's shouts, and saw that her daughter was safe and sound, and tears flowed out like a spring.
"Mother, the Great Flood Mountain is coming soon, this hero was beaten by them in order to save me, and we helped him to escape the flood in the cave on the mountain," the girl said to the old woman who woke up.
The two of them helped Qing Daoling to a cave on the mountain, which looked like it was inhabited and contained the necessities of life. Under the woman's careful care, Qingdao Ling finally regained consciousness and saw that the girl in front of him was already asleep tired next to him.
Qing Daoling put the quilt on his body and put it on the woman's body, which woke the girl up.
The girl saw Qingdao Ling wake up and asked, "How is it, does it hurt anywhere, don't move, lie down!" , and then said: "You are really, in order to save me, you don't even want your life, if you can't beat you, you can run, now I see that the injury is so serious", said The woman's eyes were moist.
"If I can't save you, it's better to die with you, and talk about saving the common people," Qingdao Ling said, touching the girl's head.
"You're stupid, by the way, what's your name?" the woman asked.
"Qingdao Ling, are you?"
Before the woman could answer, the old woman came in from outside the cave and shouted, "Xue'er, is that boy awake?" Seeing Qingdao Ling wake up, he said: "Today, the little girl is thanks to the rescue of the son, here I picked some fruit to quench the thirst of the son." As he spoke, he put the fruit in his hand into Qing Daoling's hand, turned to his daughter and said, "Now that Gongzi is seriously injured in order to save you, you take good care of him, and I will go outside to fetch some water."
"The daughter knows, the mother is careful on the road", Xue'er sent the old woman out of the cave and returned to the side of the Qingdao spirit.
"Your name is Xue'er, what a nice name," Qingdao Ling said to the girl.
The girl nodded and said, "When I was born, it happened to be snowing, so I named it Xue'er." ”
"Why do they say you're an ominous daughter?" asked the Soul then.
"Originally, our village was peaceful, but the year I was born the village was flooded, most of the villagers were drowned in the flood, and my father also lost his life in the flood, the village chief
When the plague spread in the village, the villagers pointed the finger at me, and took advantage of my mother's absence, and arrested me down the mountain, saying that they would burn me and sacrifice to the sky to stop the disaster."
Qingdao Ling held Xue'er in his arms and said, "Don't cry, there are no ominous people in the world, it's just an excuse for them."
"Really, I'm really not some ominous person?" asked Cher, a little happily.
"My silly Cher, it's just that you're too kind," Qingdao Ling replied to Cher's expectant voice.
"Brother Daoling is stupid, he didn't care about his life in order to save Xue'er" Qing Daoling was stunned by Xue'er's sudden words.
"What's the matter, don't you like me to call you Brother Daoling?" Xue'er asked a little disappointed when she saw Qing Daoling staying there.
"No, no," Qingdao replied hurriedly.
Cher smiled happily, "Great, great", and the whole cave was filled with Cher's laughter.
Suddenly, Xue'er's mother shouted at the entrance of the cave: "Xue'er is hiding with her son, those people are coming this way again." As he spoke, he ran in in a panic.
"Brother Daoling, I'll help you hide outside", Xue'er picked up Qing Daoling and walked out of the cave, and the old woman hurriedly stepped forward to help Qing Daoling.
Walking out of the cave, the village chief and the group of villagers were rushing to this side, and when he saw them, he said, "Quick, this flood is brought by the ominous daughter, catch her."
The old woman turned to Xue'er and said, "You guys go to the side path and leave, I'll stop them first", and then pushed Xue'er to the side path, and the old woman stayed and stopped the villagers.
"Stinky woman, get out of the way", said the crowd and pushed the old woman to the ground.
"Stinky woman, let me go," the village chief shouted. It turned out that the old woman was holding the village chief's leg and did not let him go forward.
"Mother"
"Cher, run and leave me alone," the old woman shouted to Cher.
The village chief saw Xue'er helping Qing Daoling to escape on the path, and the old woman grabbed him and ordered the villagers to kick and beat him to death. Everyone has been dehumanized, and they have gone crazy in order to live.
Xue'er saw everyone kicking and beating the old woman and shouted, "You let my mother go, I will do it with you, don't hurt my mother." Running back as he spoke.
"Xue'er don't, go quickly, go quickly" Before the words fell, a villager picked up a big stone and smashed it on the old woman's head, and the blood flowed like a pillar in an instant.
"Stinky woman, finally let go, catch them," the village chief instructed the villagers.
"Mother, Mother, let me go," Cher struggled.
"Let her go," Qingdao shouted to the villagers.
"Boy, didn't you get beaten enough just now?" said one of the villagers arrogantly, saying that several villagers surrounded him and beat him again, and the other villagers wanted to take Xue'er to the mountain to worship the sky.
"Ah" Qing Daoling roared, and in an instant, the sword qi on his body was horizontal, and he killed all the villagers who came to make trouble with his sword.
"Xue'er, are you okay!", Xue'er didn't answer Qing Daoling's words, ran over and picked up the old woman and shouted, "Mother, mother, wake up!Mother, what's wrong?", and then looked at Qing Daoling angrily and said coldly: "Hero, you are strong in martial arts, why don't you save my mother?"
"Xue'er, I am the head of Shu Mountain, and this time I came to the world to practice, I must not use the Taoist method, and I must not hurt people's lives, so."
"Hehe" Xue'er sneered and said: "Big boss, the little woman has bothered you"
As he spoke, he picked up the old woman and said, "Mother, our family of three will be reunited soon," and then jumped into the flood.
"Xue'er, don't let go, hold on to me", at the moment when Xue'er jumped up, Qingdao Ling grabbed her hand, Qingdao Ling was seriously injured, just now the sword has used all the true yuan, and now he can only use his last strength to catch Xue'er.
Cher glanced up at the Clarifier, then moved her hand away and grabbed her hand. Yi Xi could see what Cher was talking about.
"Cher", Qingdao Ling shouted at the falling Cher. The ferocious flood below the mountain swallowed Cher and disappeared without a trace.
When the flood receded, Qingdao Ling searched for traces of Xue'er at the bottom of the mountain, but could not find it.
Qing Daoling's injuries improved, and he flew back to Shushan.
"Senior brother is back!", the senior brothers reported to the master in the main hall. On the top of the Shushan Palace, all the elders gathered.
"Dao Ling, this time you went down the mountain to practice, you hurt people's lives by mistake, and you were also an unintentional mistake, the elders discussed, punished you to think about the cliff and close your thoughts, and you must not think about the cliff for half a step within a year", the head of Shushan Qingxu said.
"Hahaha", the laughter of Qing Daoling lingered in the Shushan Hall. "You are in a high position, do you know what the Tao is? Kill the evil demons and protect the common people in the world, this is your way? Selfish people's hearts are more hateful than demons, what bullshit is in charge of the experience, what bullshit must not hurt people's lives, and what kind of bullshit is all bullshit."
"Presumptuous, Qing Daoling, are you crazy?" roared Great Elder Nangong Yu.
"Yes, I am mad, mad because I don't know what the way is, and I see my beloved die in front of me, and I can't do anything about the wicked. From now on, my way will be for me to walk on my own. As he spoke, he laughed and walked away, leaving only his laughter lingering in the main hall.
The Great Elder Nangong Yu wanted to stop Qing Daoling from leaving, but the head Qingxu stopped Nangong Yu and said, "Let him go!"
In the sword test meeting, in addition to Qing Daoling's outstanding performance, Ling Yun, the disciple of the Great Elder, was also very good. Ling Yun entered the Tao at the age of six, although he was not as superb as the Qing Dao Spirit swordsmanship, but this son was talented and intelligent, and he had a lot of Dao roots. The hundred-year deadline for the head of the sect is approaching, and the elders discuss and let Ling Yun take over as the head of Shushan.
Ling Yun lived up to expectations, performed well in the experience of the head of the house, and soon took over the position of head of the house. Since Qing Daoling left Shushan, he practiced in the Valley of Hundred Flowers, slashing demons everywhere with a sword, and walking his own way.
