Chapter 35: Neglect
Since the Sect of Leaving Sorrow suddenly announced the closure of the mountain five years ago, at the beginning, all the cultivators in the world thought that this was just a gimmick of the Sect of Leaving Sorrow in order to attract attention, and it was just a gesture, so that the ten-year Jianchuan Trial could build momentum in advance. So the cultivators all over the world thought that this was just a joke, that is, the real people also thought that there might be a mountain closure, but it would only be closed for a year and a half, if it was really going to be sealed for ten years, then the title of the leader of the righteous path in the world of cultivation might be handed over.
It's just that gimmicks can also be used, or true things, since the announcement of the closure of the mountain by the Leaving Worry Sect, the Leaving Worry Sect down to the outer disciples, up to the head of the Sect has become extremely low-key, and the entire Leaving Worry Sect is as if it is sleeping, and all the rumors and dynamic news about the Leaving Worry Sect have almost disappeared in an instant, and in the following years, whether it is a large or small Xiuzhen assembly, or the birthday of Ling Yijian, the owner of the Asking Sword Valley who is ranked third in the Orthodox Church, the Leaving Worry Sect has not sent even a single disciple to participate.
It seems that the closure of the mountain by the Leaving Worry Sect is really true, but over time, the rumors about the various versions of the closure of the Mountain by the Leaving Worry Sect are endless, and they are full of ears.
For example, the rumors that the real people of the Liwu Palm Sect were not fully prepared because of the sudden arrival of the Heavenly Tribulation, resulting in a great loss of vitality and serious damage to the Liwu Great Hall, such as those who infiltrated the Liwu Sect and tore open the prohibition of the Sword Pavilion and stole the Divine Sword Immortal Yin of the Liwu Town Sect, and the Liwu Sect was in a mess; the Qinan Palm Sect was wiped out due to the failure of the catastrophe; the first of the Zhuzuo fought for their own selfish interests, and the Liwu Sect was on the verge of disbanding, and the rumors that were so nonsense to the outrageous were even more boiling.
But he didn't expect that the original practice of closing the mountain to retreat into advance has now made the popularity of the Liwu Sect rise instead of falling, and it has once become a topic of conversation that even the red and mundane worlds talk about.
It's just that some people don't care about the length of the mountain, and he has nothing to do with him whether he is away from the Sorrow Sect and whether the mountain is closed or not, and even some sects wish that the Sorrow Sect will continue to close the mountain. The righteous path faction in this is like asking the Sword Valley, asking the Sword Valley because the sect was established too late, and they are eager to show their strength in front of people, in order to seek more benefits in the cultivation realm, Ling Yijian, the master of the Sword Valley Valley, is even more young and vigorous, and the domineering exercises that have a relationship with the sword cultivation are almost unmatched in the cultivation realm. The Leaving Worry Sect is already so low-key, and other sects dare not compete with it head-on, and for a while, the momentum of Wenjian Valley is like the sky, but in the past five years, the number of disciples of Wenjian Valley has surged, and it has surpassed the authentic Zen Silent Temple of Zen Buddhism in the world. Fortunately, the Zen Silence Temple is not competitive, and the monks are very indifferent to fame and fortune, just watching the every move of the Sword Valley with a cold eye.
The Demon Sect faction finally got a little respite because of the move of leaving the Worry Sect to close the mountain, and the big ones such as the Killing Poison Gate, the Ye Sun Sect, the Refining Valley, and the Sanmiao Palace took advantage of this wonderful opportunity to regain the lost ground, and their reputation was shocked for a while, but they recovered a lot of vitality, and the small ones were some messy small sects, making noise, pretending to be gods, but they were not lively.
It's just that there is such a hustle and bustle in the outside world, but this Divorce Sect, which has stood for 10,000 years, is silent, like this 10,000-year-old Separation Mountains, silently watching everything in this world with cold eyes.
Maybe it's waiting for that blockbuster opportunity, or maybe it's still dormant for a long time, but the eastern sky has faintly turned white, and the dawn is destined to come......
Winter turns to spring, and the snow melts. Liwu Mountain shows a charming pink like a shy girl. The landscape of the four seasons of Liwu Mountain is very magnificent, the snow is grounded in winter, the red leaves are all over the mountain in autumn, and the hanging spring is flying in summer. However, the most beautiful time of year is spring.
Bees surrounded by butterflies, green trees and red flowers have long been unable to describe this beautiful scenery. Looking at it all over the place, it seems that the gentle spring breeze has blown away all the gloom of the mountains overnight, and the shabby clothes full of ugliness and withered yellow have been taken off and replaced with emerald green long skirts. The pink flowers in the verdant green of the mountains are like the delicate face of a shy girl blushing from the bare spring light when she changes her clothes.
In the depths of this verdant greenery, a man and a woman walked in a circle, and their faces were filled with a smile as gentle as this spring day. The men's coarse cloth black clothes are more than six feet tall, and the women's pink clothes are like flowers, delicate and lovely.
I don't know if this mountain has become the scenery in their eyes, or if they have become the beauty of this mountain.
When I got closer, I realized that this young man of more than six feet was Lin Yizhi, who was now fifteen years old, although he was still immature, his posture was already the same as that of an adult. This woman in pink is needless to say that she is Lu Xiyue who is about to arrive.
The two laughed as they walked, but their expressions were relaxed and happy. Lu Xiyue also picked off the unknown small flowers on the side of the road from time to time, and secretly sprinkled the petals on Lin Yizhi's head while Lin Yizhi was not paying attention. Although the two of them are close to adulthood, they are exactly the age of Fanghua, and it is inevitable that there will be a scene of you running away and chasing me.
All of a sudden, the emerald green of the mountain was filled with Lu Xiyue's laughter like a silver bell, which was beautiful.
After a long commotion, the red-walled and green-tiled building flashed in front of me, which was close to the Dao Hall. Lin Yizhi slowly stopped this time, looking at Lu Xiyue's smiling face, as if he wanted to say something.
Lu Xiyue was Lan Xinhui, and when she saw that Lin Yizhi suddenly had something on her mind, she stopped and asked with concern: "Brother Yizhi, we came all the way down from the top of Mo Yu Peak, and we didn't see you worrying about it for a while, why are you a little worried at this time?"
Lin Yiyi said embarrassedly: "Where is this, although I have feelings for this Moxian Peak, but it has been too hard for five years, and it is too late to go there as soon as possible to be happy." I'm just afraid that I won't be angry, and if the exercises still don't make an inch, wouldn't it make the master angry again? ”
Lu Xiyue laughed and said, "It turns out that you are not afraid of the 10,000-year-old cold of Mo Youfeng, but you are afraid of my father." However, Brother Yizhi and relax, the various signs you have at the peak of Moyu Peak show that your exercises are at least at the Great Perfection Realm of Qi Condensation, and in five years, although this speed cannot be considered fast, it cannot be said to be very slow. ”
After saying that, he winked at Lin Yiyi and said: "My father is just a mud bodhisattva, he looks serious and harsh on the surface, but it is pretended, if I am next to me, I won't let him yell at you." ”
After Lu Xiyue said this, she patted her chest with a look wrapped around me, and then naturally took Lin Yizhi's hand and strode towards the Taoist Hall.
Lu Wujian has been practicing in retreat for the past few years, and his cultivation is even more incomparable than five years ago, but his retreat is different from others, most of whom retreat is in retreat, at least three years and five years, and at most one or two decades. For example, in the past ten years, he has chosen to close his life. Although this method of cultivation is very fast, it is separated from the world, and many things cannot be handled. And because the head of the sect has closed the dead pass, this is the affairs of tens of thousands of people up and down the Worry Sect, all of which are handled by the first seat of the eight veins, and it is precisely this year's turn to be on duty for Mo Worry.
Therefore, Lu Wujian and Zhu Shouza could not retreat, and every once in a while they would come out of the clean room to deal with the affairs of a few days, and give instructions and consider the homework of the disciples in the sect, and then return to the retreat.
According to the usual practice, today is the time for Lu Wujian to leave the customs this time. Therefore, the disciples of Zhu Mo Youfeng all got up very early today, and they were also working very hard in the practice field, thinking that when the master came out, he would show his full face in front of the master.
When Lin Yizhi and Lu Xiyue walked into the practice room hand in hand, Lu Wujian had just come out of the customs and was discussing something with Mu Yuqiu, and all the disciples were lined up on both sides.
When Mo Youfeng and the others saw that Lin Yizhi and Lu Xiyue were back, they all nodded lightly at them, which was regarded as a greeting. From this point of view, Lu Wuji's majesty is still like a mountain in the hearts of all the disciples. If this was in the past, Lin Yizhi would have laughed with these senior brothers in the morning.
Mu Yuqiu obviously also saw Lin Yizhi and Lu Xiyue returning from outside, his eyes looked at them for a while, and when he saw the two of them holding hands in public, he just shook his head with a slight smile and said, "Xiyue hasn't come to see your father yet!"
Only then did Lu Xiyue let go of Lin Yizhi's hand and walked towards Mu Yuqiu, Lin Yizhi stood at the end of the disciples, and also learned from their serious expressions. Not a word.
Suddenly, Lin Yizhi saw that Lu Xiyue and Mu Xiqiu seemed to be whispering something earnestly, as if the content had something to do with him, because Mu Xiqiu and Lu Xiyue always kept looking at him, and even after Mu Yuqiu glanced at him, he seemed to poke Lu Xiyue's forehead a little dotingly.
After not seeing him for many days, Lin Yizhi secretly looked at his master, but saw that he seemed to be longer than his original figure, and his original body was slightly rounded, but now the whole person is like a curtain, narrow and long, and the jujube core head seems to be smaller than before.
Lu Wujian is still the same style, and he doesn't know if there is phlegm in his throat, so he still cleared his throat and said: "Today, I broke through the pass, but there are three things to explain to you, one of them is the most important, seeing that the Jianchuan trial in five years is imminent, you all have to cultivate hard, don't think that you can be lazy if I can't retreat! After five years, the quota of the Jianchuan trial is ten disciples per vein, so all the disciples of my Mo Worry Peak have to go!"
Before the words fell, Lu Xiyue happily interjected: "I have to go, then I want to go too?
Lu Wujian glared at Lu Xiyue, but Lu Xiyue stuck out her tongue at her father without care. The disciples saw that this master did not smile at them on weekdays, but there was no way to take their daughter, they all wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh, and tried their best to endure it.
Lu Wujian had no choice but to say: "Of course, even with you, the number of people will not meet the target." As for...... Old Five......"
Lin Yi's heart was fiercely nervous, although his cultivation was low, but from the heart he was also competitive, his self-confidence had been hit in the past few years, and he also had a little inferiority, but he also had some expectations for this Jianchuan trial. It's just that I don't know if the master asked him to go, but now that the master is talking about this, how can he not be nervous?
Lu Wujian looked at Lin Yizhi's hopeful eyes, but he couldn't bear to hit this little disciple who didn't usually care much, so he sighed and said: "The fifth child will go too, just go to see more and learn more, and if you enter Jianchuan and come out for a while, you can be regarded as participating." ”
Lin Yi's heart was very excited, although the master's words still didn't look down on him at all, but for this moment and a half was already a great satisfaction for Lin Yizhi.
Without thinking too much, Lin Yizhi hurriedly knelt down, and said with a trembling voice and excitement: "Master Xie allows the disciple to participate in the Jianchuan Trial. ”
Lu Wujian was a little tired of this apprentice being so excited, thinking that he was really a stupid boy who didn't make it, even if he went in, he was so satisfied, just waved his hand to let him get up.
Lin Yizhi didn't know what his master thought, so he hurriedly retreated to the end, with a happy expression on his face.
Lu Wujian said: "It's just that this time I went to Jianchuan for the trial, I will never allow the situation of the last time to happen, this time our people from Mo Youfeng must persist to the end! If it is as embarrassing as the last time, don't blame me for being polite!"
This last sentence was even more powerful, and all the disciples nodded yes with a solemn expression.
Lu Wujian looked at the expressions of the disciples, nodded with satisfaction and said: "The second is that this year is the year when we recruit disciples every ten years from the Worrying Sect, and it happens that the head of the retreat is my turn to be on duty, and this matter is handed over to Zeng Ruijin and Bai Limu to be responsible, on the eighth day of the first month of July, you lead me Mo Worrying Peak up and down to recruit disciples at the gate of Liwu Mountain, the specific matter, Ruijin will stay for a while, and I will talk to you alone!"
Zeng Ruijin nodded hurriedly and said, "Obey the master's orders." ”
Lu Wujian nodded again, took a sip of tea and said: "The third is to consider the degree of cultivation you have advanced during my retreat, it is already an old rule, those who progress are their duty, and those who regress are punished! Ruijin, you are a senior brother, you should come first!"
Zeng Ruijin said with a solemn expression: "It's the master!"
After saying that, he sat cross-legged and used the mental method of leaving worries and boundless paths, and practiced in this one.
Lu Wujian and everyone stared at Zeng Ruijin Shiwei with good eyes, but they saw that there was a vast and thick earth attribute true qi around Zeng Ruijin, which seemed to have substance. Even Lin Yizhi was amazed.
"Okay! Jindan Great Perfection Peak Stage, I think that when Ruijin participates in the Jianchuan Trial in five years, you should be able to break through the Dan Transformation Realm and cultivate to reach the Yuan Infant Stage!" Lu Wujian nodded with great satisfaction.
Zeng Ruijin is an honest person, and he is even happier to hear his master praise him. He happily stood up and returned to his disciples. Lin Yizhi looked at the senior brother with some envy, and said secretly in his heart, when the master can praise me, even a small praise is also very good.
Followed by Bai Limu, Bai Limu was still dressed in white, coupled with the cold and indifferent expression on his face as always, Lin Yizhi always felt that these two senior brothers were the same as the ice and snow that had not melted for thousands of years on the top of Mo Wei Peak.
Bai Limu didn't say much, only made a salute, and didn't see how he behaved, only released the momentum on his body abruptly. Mo said that the disciples of Mo Wufeng, even Lu Wujian was also surprised, and blurted out: "Yuan Infant Stage!"
Lu Wujian has always known that this is Bai Limu Tianzong's assets, and he and Zeng Ruijin are two extremes. Zeng Ruijin is talented, but his practice is hard and practical, so his cultivation is real, and his exercises are vast and simple, but this Bai Limu is diametrically opposed, the sword goes sideways, and the exercises are known for their exquisiteness. On that day, he had just returned to the Jindan Great Perfection Realm displayed by Mo Youfeng, which had already made Lu Wujian quite praised, and now he had reached the Yuan Infant Stage one step ahead of everyone, and at a young age, even if he looked at the entire Liwu Sect, he could only compare with him by a slap.
Lu Wujian couldn't hold his breath now, he stood up violently from the position of the master, walked to Bai Limu, patted him on the shoulder and laughed: "Okay, good! Limu is really promising, but he is a rare genius of the younger generation of my Liwu Sect, he looks at Chu Xiao in the Worrying Peak, and she has Duanmu Ningque in the Dust Worrying Peak, and now I have Bai Limu in the Peak of Mo Worry, so good!"
Seeing that her husband was so out of shape in front of his disciples, Mu Yuqiu only glared at him with that eye, and smiled at Bai Limu: "Limu, but when did you break the Dan, when did you step into this primordial infancy. ”
Bai Limu only smiled indifferently and said: "Half a month ago, the disciple found that the golden pill in his body was faintly ringing and trembling, and he knew that it should be a sign of breaking the pill, so he waited with all his heart, and sure enough, he succeeded in one fell swoop and stepped into the Yuan Infant Stage, but it was just a heavy Yuan Infant. The Venerable Master was also in retreat and was silent. ”
Everyone suddenly realized when they heard this. Zeng Ruijin took the lead in congratulating Bai Limu, but with that sincere meaning, he smiled without a trace of jealousy: "Congratulations to Senior Brother Bai, if you continue like this, I will give this Senior Brother to you!." Bai Limu was very grateful and said: "The junior brother is now in the Yuan Infant Stage, even if it is no matter what, the senior brother is always my senior brother!"
After that, the two looked at each other and smiled.
The rest of the people, including Lin Yizhi, were like Bai Limu Daohe, and Bai Limu smiled and returned the salute.
Then, Xiao Gangyan and Duan Langkun also showed their realms respectively, Xiao Gangyan actually stepped into the Jindan realm from the Great Perfection of Exorcism, and now he is the fourfold cultivation of Jindan. It's just that Duan Langkun is almost, and he is still standing still at the stage of the Great Consummation of Exorcism for five years.
This time, Lu Wujian was a little angry, and counted the Luculent from head to toe.
Lin Yizhi had been expecting his master to call him by name, so that he could show off his current cultivation, and his heart was pounding and pounding because of nervousness. However, after this master and others finished finishing Senior Brother Duan, he said some other miscellaneous things, but he didn't think about his own meaning at all.
Lin Yizhi's heart gradually changed from hot to cold.
I'm still too small, and my cultivation is still so bad that I can't even remember my master.
This voice sounded countless times in the depths of Lin Yizhi's heart in an instant, and his heart that had already been inferior flowed like a needle.
Lin Yizhi slowly took a few steps back, buried his head lower, and a long strand of hair on his forehead covered his eyes.
The achievements are theirs, the joy is theirs, and they have nothing after all!
Lu Wujian finally finished talking about everything, Lu Xiyue kept glancing at Lin Yizhi, but Lin Yizhi's heart fell into many contradictions, is it really necessary for him to show his current realm in front of his master? If he succeeds, if he fails, then what will his dignity and self-confidence be redeemed. Forget it, there's no need for that.
Just when Lu Wujian and Mu Yuqiu turned around and were about to leave the practice room and walked to the door.
A faint mosquito voice sounded hesitantly, intermittently, and tremblingly: "Master, I want to ...... Let you think about it...... My realm..."
When this voice first came out, there were thousands of hesitations, but when the last four words were spoken, the voice seemed to carry incomparable firmness and undoubtedness.
Lu Wujian also heard this voice mixed with too much emotion, although the voice was faint, but it still made Lu Wujian's heart tremble suddenly, he slowly turned around, and his eyes fell on the figure kneeling in the middle of the practice room.
The figure, kneeling like that, bowed his head, couldn't see his expression, but could feel the hair on his forehead trembling slightly.
This is...... The little disciple he disdained the most...... ...... of his mouth Old Five!
