One hundred and fifty-one, wine in Lingyun Pavilion
This large area of buildings in the Immortal Sword Sect is mainly made of stone and wood structures. There are three and four major halls on the main axis, which rise step by step along the mountain. It is very majestic.
Other buildings are scattered around, with different heights. Although they are built according to the mountain topography and are not neat, overall they do not look messy, but have an asymmetrical and layered aesthetic.
There are no walls around the entire building. There are stone staircases crisscrossing the houses, and there are horizontal or vertical ditches beside the roads. Clear snow-capped mountains melt water slowly flows through them. In some places, a small stone arch bridge is built across the small ditches. In some places, a small stone arch bridge is built across the small ditches. Instead, there is a small square or round pool built with stones. The water in the pool is tender green, and fish in twos and threes swim leisurely in it.
People were walking on the stone paths between the rooms, talking and laughing, walking left or right, crossing bridges and climbing stairs. The terrain gradually became higher, and suddenly they came to a three-story building and saw a plaque on the lintel in front of the building. , it is written in three big characters, Lingyunge. The characters are not very good, and the carelessness contains a sense of bohemianism. I think it was Jian Yi's handwriting.
That night, everyone drank wine and talked happily. Qingshi's wine was naturally greatly appreciated by Jian Yi and others, and the wine from Xianjian Sect turned out to be the best wine Qingshi had ever seen before. Jian Qi said that the wine was called Bingjian Chun, and it was made from three kinds of crops native to Yunxian Mountain and the top of the mountain. It is brewed from ice and snow melt water, but it is difficult to brew and the yield is very small. Even the Immortal Sword Sect has not enough to drink it. Fortunately, Jian Yi is the leader of the fifth generation disciple, so the quota of this wine is enough to treat guests.
Bingzhu chatted freely, Qingshi and everyone from the Immortal Sword Sect told interesting anecdotes about their travels around the world, and Qingshi also gradually learned some things about the Immortal Sword Sect.
There are currently more than one hundred people in the Immortal Sword Sect of six generations. It is said that there are three of the oldest generation, all of whom are over a thousand years old and have not been seen for nearly a hundred years. Their cultivation is unfathomable.
There are less than ten people in the next generation, and they all live in seclusion in various places in Yunxian Mountain and do not care about worldly affairs. It is said that there are at least three masters in the Shenyuan Realm.
The one who is currently in charge of the sect is Jian Ruochen of Ruozi generation. The other four elders including Jian Ruoyun are all from this generation. There are still twenty-five of them. The cultivation of the five elders are all at the level of Immortal Pill. level.
There are only thirteen people left in the next generation, the hyphenated generation. The talents of this generation have withered, and most of them have died, especially those disciples who were originally outstanding.
There are currently forty-three people in Jian Yi's generation. Their generation is the Xiaozi generation. These forty-three people were originally the apprentices of the four Lien generation heirs. Unexpectedly, these four Lien generation heirs were actually All of them have died, so the disciples of the Xiaozi generation now only have their ancestors and uncles, but no master. For convenience, the Xiaozi generation is currently commensurate with the order of entry. In the future, the names will naturally be restored. For example, the oldest one has now accepted a disciple. Jian Er, in order to show respect in front of his disciples, everyone calls him Jian Xiaotong, and the same goes for Jian Liu. This is the sect's practice.
Sword Two and Sword Six currently have a total of seven disciples. They are the sixth generation and the lowest generation. It has been more than ten thousand years since the establishment of the Immortal Sword Sect. During this period, there have been many ups and downs. It is hard to calculate how many generations it has been passed down.
Qingshi has always wanted to find out about the remains of the Immortal of Immortal Sword Peak, but unfortunately, Sword One, Sword Seven, and even Jian Eleven and others are talkative people. They all talk eloquently. Every time Qingshi wants to mention it, he is interrupted and starts talking nonsense. After chatting in the middle of the night, Qingshi found an opportunity and said again: "Let's ask Brother Jianyi to tell us about the immortal ruins at Immortal Sword Peak!"
Jian Yi laughed loudly and said: "You know I have been thinking about you! I feel very itchy!" He looked very proud, and several others also laughed. They didn't mention it before, but they deliberately turned off Qingshi's appetite. At this time, several people were already familiar with each other, and they all knew that Qingshi was younger among them, only slightly older than Jianjiu, so Jianyi no longer called Qingshi brother, but brother.
Qingshi shook his head and said with a smile: "It turns out that these brothers are teasing me on purpose. If they do this again, I won't bring out the wine!"
"No, no!" Jian Qi said with a smile, "If you want to hear the relics of the Sword Immortal, you will need at least ten kilograms of fine wine!"
"It's worth it!" Qingshi laughed and took out a large wine jar, but it contained no less than twenty kilograms of wine.
Jian gulped down a large bowl in one gulp and said with a smile: "Brother Qingshi is really bold. Lao Qi, please tell me about it!"
Jian Qi also drank a lot, and just then he wiped his mouth with his sleeve and said: "Jianfeng Immortal Relic is the number one scenic spot of our Immortal Sword Sect, and the other seven major scenic spots combined are far behind. This relic is said to be It is a stone carving with sword marks left by our ancestor Tu Ji, the founder of our sect and the first generation ancestor, thousands of years ago. This stone carving was left by our ancestor to help the descendants of our sect understand the supreme swordsmanship. However, , the ancestor left this stone carving, but not just anyone can look at it and understand it. The ancestor set three conditions and a test. Therefore, even if I, the disciple of the Immortal Sword Sect, are lucky enough to see the immortal traces in person, only one out of ten. That’s why I said it’s not easy to see the immortal ruins!”
"Oh!" Qingshi said thoughtfully, "It's really not easy to say so, but I don't know if any of you have seen it. Can you tell me about it?" He looked at Jianyi.
Unexpectedly, Jianyi smiled awkwardly and said, "To be honest, although I am a disciple of the Xiaozi generation, I have never been to the Immortal Sword Peak! I'm afraid that I will never be lucky in this life, alas!" After saying this, he felt lonely again. He smiled shyly, raised his head and downed a large bowl of wine.
"Elder brother, don't be discouraged!" Jian Shiliu said, "There is still a chance. Besides, what's the problem even if I don't have the chance to see the immortal traces? Three of the five elders now have never been to the Immortal Sword Peak to see the immortals. trace."
"Hmph!" Jian Yi sneered, "If you don't have the opportunity to understand the immortal traces, you won't be able to control the sect, and you won't be able to accept disciples. I am the eldest disciple of my generation, and I am also the number one in terms of martial arts cultivation, but apart from you few Who is really convinced by me? Not to mention Sword Two and Sword Six, even Sword Three and Sword Twelve are completely unconvinced by me. The reason is that I failed to pass the test many times, don’t you know?"
Jian Yi drank a little too much and couldn't help complaining, but he felt a little out of character, because he said to Qingshi: "I have grown older, and I am the first one in my generation to enter the Immortal Sword Sect, but I have never been able to pass the Patriarch Tuji." The test is a miracle. Seeing that this year is the last chance, if you fail again, how can you be a great disciple of Xiaozi generation? Then you will wander around with Brother Qingshi...Brother Qingshi , funny..."
Everyone was silent for a while. Qingshi thought to himself: Since Jian Er and Jian Liu have already accepted disciples, they must have seen the immortal traces. I wonder who else has seen this smiling disciple. , what are the three conditions and a test?
Jian Shiliu said slowly: "Elder brother, no matter what, I will treat you as my senior brother. I believe you can pass the test this year."
Jianyi picked up the wine bowl and laughed loudly: "Yes, I have one more chance, so I may not be able to get through. Brother Qingshi, come on, you and I will have another bowl, and I wish you have the fate to see the miracle!" His face was already full of tears. There is no sadness anymore, and the spirit of heroism is not lost.
"Okay! Thank you Brother Jian for your good wishes," Qingshi said with a smile, "I also hope that Brother Jian will pass the test and see the miracle of immortality."
The two of them each took their bowls and finished them off.
Jian Yi regained his composure, and Jian Qi and others were no longer embarrassed and silent. Jian Qi smiled and said: "Actually, those who are destined to see the immortal traces, our generation currently only has Jian Er and Jian Liu. Of course, all the brothers still have them." Opportunity."
Qingshi asked: "I wonder what these three conditions and a test are like?"
Jian Qi said: "These three conditions are: first, you must be a disciple of our sect, or a sword cultivator who has a continuous lineage with our sect; second, you must have practiced for no more than sixty years; and third, you must not be able to cultivate your true energy. Beyond the Golden Core Realm. All three conditions must be met. Disciples who meet the conditions have up to five opportunities to accept the test, and the interval between each time is no more than six years. If they pass the test, they will be destined to see the immortal traces. "
Jian Yi smiled bitterly and said: "I have already accepted four tests, but they all failed. I suppressed my cultivation to not cross the Golden Core realm, but by next year my cultivation time will exceed sixty years, so after this year I must try one last time, if it still doesn’t work, then I will miss it for life!”
"I still have three chances," Jian Qi said with a smile, "May God bless me and get what I want through the test!"
Qingshi asked: "What is this test like?"
"That's impossible to say." Jian Yi said with a smile, "Come on, come on, drink and drink!"
Qingshi secretly thought that this test might vary from person to person, or that his sect stipulated that he could only explore by himself and not communicate with each other, so he stopped asking.
Jian Qi asked Qingshi: "Master Ruoyun said that Brother Qingshi has a deep connection with our Immortal Sword Sect, but he doesn't know what the connection is?"
Jian Shiliu chuckled and said: "Senior Brother Seventh has not been down the mountain to practice walking in recent years. Don't you even know this?"
Jian Qi said in surprise: "What? Is it Dalu's news that Brother Qingshi has a relationship with our sect? Is it because I am ignorant?"
Jian Shiliu smiled and said: "Since you are a disciple of my Immortal Sword Sect, you should know it. Senior Brother naturally knows it. I guess Brother Ninth Brother and Senior Brother Eleven should also know it." Jian Jiu and he have the same master, so they are called Gotta be more affectionate.
"Of course I know," Jian Shiyi said with a slight smile, "I knew the name Qingshi when I heard it."
"I know too." Jian Jiu looks very young, gentle and quiet, but he is not slow to drink. He was accepted as a disciple by master Jian Lianhuo at a very young age, and he is Jian Lianhuo's number one He is a disciple, so although he is young, he ranks high among his fellow disciples.
Jian Qi shouted: "Oh! I am really ignorant! Xiao Liu, please tell me."
Jian Sixteen looked at Jian Qi with contempt and said, "Don't you know, Senior Brother Seven, about the origin of today's Xuan Dynasty and our Immortal Sword Sect?"
"How could you not know this!" Jian Qi said, "The first emperor of the Tianxuan Dynasty, Emperor Jianxin, was originally our predecessor of the Immortal Sword Sect. Later, he left the sect and became the dean of Tianlong Academy, and then established his own Xuanmen. Today's Emperor Chengguang He is a disciple of Emperor Jianxin, am I right?"
"Yes! Yes!" Jian Shiliu said with a smile, "Then why didn't you know that Brother Qingshi was also a disciple of Emperor Jianxin and the younger brother of Emperor Chengguang today?"
"Really?" Jian Qi's eyes widened and he said after a while, "It turns out that Brother Qingshi has such a big background!"
Jian Shiliu smiled and said: "Master Ruoyun told us during the day that Brother Qingshi defeated the Prince of the Jiang family and was promoted to the title of king. Brother Seventh, go and swat mosquitoes in your ears."
"I heard it! But Master Ruoyun didn't mention Brother Qingshi's inheritance!" Jian Qi said, suddenly he came to his senses and shouted, "Hey! How dare you scold me?"
"Don't you dare!" Jian Shiliu said with a smile, "You said yourself that you are ignorant."
"Okay, okay!" Jianyi said, "As Brother Qingshi, I am definitely qualified to accept the test and have the opportunity to see the immortal miracle. I think Master Ruoyun will make arrangements tomorrow. That's it for today. Come on, Sword Seven, Sword Nine, you drunkards drank all my wine."
Jian Yi drove away the junior brothers who were drinking wine, but he drank Qing Shi's wine and talked with them all night long. Qing Shi liked Jian Yi's bold temperament and was willing to make friends with him.
The two of them stopped chatting about the anecdotes of the world and turned to talking about the art of swordsmanship. When they were interested, they drew their swords and performed a few moves. When they encountered different opinions, they couldn't help but hold their swords to prove it again. Unexpectedly, the long night was over and the morning sun was rising. Lift.
Not long after, the morning bell rang, and Jianyi said: "Today, Master Ruochen is holding a class at Qizhi Hall. I have to go and attend the lecture. Brother Qingshi, you can rest here or wander around casually. I will take you there after class." Sect leader." After saying that, he left, and Qingshi went out for a walk around.
