The mountain road is cold, the sun breaks through the clouds, the ice on the treetops begins to melt, and there are thousands of water droplets, like continuous spring rain.
In front of the Jie Jian Stone, the two young Taoist priests finally came to their senses. At the moment when their eyes were focused, their backs began to straighten. As soon as their spines were straightened, their whole temperament began to change, and they gained a sense of vigor and masculinity.
"Looking back at everything, it was such a big dream!"
"Evil spirits have confused the mind and lost the integrity of scholars. Thanks to Junior Brother Su, otherwise you and I would have continued to sink and there would be no hope of building a foundation."
The eyes of the two Taoist priests were calm, and although their temperament became sharp, they were not intimidating.
"Junior Brother Su is not a thing in the pond. You and I have received his kindness, but we have to repay it. That Gu Yuehe has set his sights on him, we must try our best to delay him. There is an ancient saying, 'A scholar is a confidant. "Death," although we are not warriors, we must have the heart of a gentleman. Let alone being Wudang disciples, no matter how big Gu Yuehe's relationship network is, we cannot fight against each other. The most is all kinds of suppression, withholding of supplies, and tempering in adversity. Spiritually, it has unexpected benefits.”
At this point, the two young Taoist priests seemed to have changed. They went up the mountain facing the rising sun. Their backs were very long, but they were not dark. Instead, they looked like reflections of green pines and green bamboos.
…
After crossing the Wudang Jiejian Stone and going down the mountain, there is a dense old forest.
When we arrived here, we were freed from the Wudang Zhenwu Seven Sword Formation, and the air immediately became chilly.
In the past, Su Qinian was escorted up the mountain by the officials of the Ministry of Justice. He also experienced several dangers along the way. However, the officials of the Ministry of Justice were all good players. Many of them had entered the Kaitian realm and were third-rate figures. There were even some who were about to gather dragons and tigers. The most important thing is that the old man who accompanied him had a goatee, gentle eyes, and looked frail.
The concubine in the imperial palace, the housekeeper of the demon-suppressing palace!
This was a saying that was widely circulated in Chang'an City. The concubine in the imperial palace refers to a concubine who was extremely favored by the emperor of the Han Dynasty in the contemporary era. There was once a top figure who used his own martial arts to sneak into the palace late at night and wanted to assassinate the emperor of the Han Dynasty in the harem. , who would have known that the Emperor of the Han Dynasty did not move and went to bed peacefully. The next day, the corpse of that top figure was hung above the gate of Chang'an City, and the person who slept with him that night was none other than the imperial concubine.
As for the housekeeper of the Demon Suppressing King's Mansion, he is talking about the old man who escorted Su Qinian. The Demon Suppressing King intimidated the demon tribes all over the world. Wherever the Demon Suppressing Army came, the demons fought against each other. Just the Demon King who died at the hands of the contemporary Demon Suppressing King. There were no less than ten of them. However, in the early years, there was also a top demon king who sneaked into the palace. The next day, he was taken out by the old man with one hand and immersed in the pig cage.
"The journey is difficult, there are many divergent paths, and evil spirits lurk."
Su Qinian sighed. In the wilderness, there were almost no human figures. He caught some residual evil spirits. This was an extremely evil breath that could only be understood, but anyone who had experienced it would understand it. hard to forget.
However, these evil spirits are very weak, and they have obviously been there for a long time. It is no wonder that at the foot of Wudang Mountain and the surrounding deep mountains and old forests, Wudang disciples go in to clean them up all year round. It can be said that with Wudang Mountain as the center, there are countless For tens or hundreds of miles, it is almost impossible to see traces of monsters except for some stray ones.
Su Qinian walked through the old forest and set foot on an official road seven to eight feet wide. As expected, he did not encounter a monster.
After arriving at the official road, after walking for another one or twenty miles, some human footprints gradually appeared.
However, there are almost no people walking alone. Most of them are in groups, driving carriages, equipped with swords, guns, swords and halberds, strong bows and crossbows. There are businesses, escorts, and motorcades of wealthy families, with dozens or hundreds of servants guarding the courtyard. , all of them looked strong and strong, with taut muscles, no one dared to show any slack.
Seeing Su Qinian, these teams were more or less surprised. A young man with tender skin and tender flesh dared to walk alone on the official road, which made them suspicious and wary.
Could it be a Wudang disciple?
Some people guessed, but quickly shook their heads. Wudang is famous for its fists, palms and swordsmanship. In these years, they have not seen any disciples who use swords, let alone such young people. Generally speaking, the Wudang disciples they see coming down the mountain are at least some. They are seventeen or eighteen years old, and many of them are still under the leadership of the elders in the sect, and have not yet had the cultivation and experience to travel alone in the world.
On some carriages, the curtains were opened a crack, and some female relatives looked at Su Qinian secretly with curious eyes, feeling that this young man was probably going to die.
Because every year, there are disciples from poor families who seek Taoism and go out of villages, towns and counties, hoping to find famous teachers and seek opportunities. There are also some passionate young people with little experience, unruly thoughts, not well-read books, and just want to compete with others all day long. Fighting fiercely, dreaming of traveling in the world, getting adventures, and becoming famous.
This is very ridiculous, especially in some barren and remote prefectures and counties, where the military supply is insufficient, the force is weak, and there are not many martial arts sects and aristocratic families. Monsters are rampant and there are many lurking monsters. Ordinary people are very likely to be killed as soon as they go out. There was no more human figure.
What people are most afraid of is not knowing themselves!
However, Su Qinian walked very calmly and calmly, his green robe was clean and tidy, his black hair danced lightly in the cold wind, his face was delicate, especially his eyes, without any impurities, many people who saw these eyes were slightly surprised. Shocked, it was a kind of gentle gaze, like the sun that nourishes all things in early spring, and the little bits of light that fall down. There is no darkness, no dirt, only infinite light.
Gradually, the teams and horses on the official road relaxed, because it was impossible for the demon clan to have such a gaze. No matter how the demon beasts transformed, they could not hide their strange aura. They were all afraid of the sun.
"Little brother, are you a Wudang disciple? Where are you going alone?"
It seemed to be a team from a wealthy family. As they passed by, an old man in his sixties who looked like a housekeeper came forward to ask questions. His face was wrinkled like tree bark and his tone was very peaceful.
"Not yet, I'm going to Qingshan Town, Yunyang County."
Su Qinian smiled and said. With his keen mental power, he naturally knew that it was the rare female family member in the carriage who moved the Bodhisattva's heart. However, he did this to explore the truth and did not reveal his identity easily. Before the foundation was built, his Qingyang Peak His identity as a disciple of Palm Peak is indeed unfair, and he cannot be regarded as a true disciple of Wudang.
Hearing this, the old housekeeper sighed, thinking that Su Qinian had failed in his quest for enlightenment. After all, Wudang was the main sect in the country, and disciples from poor families were inherently deficient. Only those who could be chosen would be selected. Looking at Su Qinian's clothes and appearance, he also It doesn't look like a famous family. As for the so-called not yet, the old housekeeper regards it as the stubbornness of a young man. The young man is full of blood and naturally refuses to give up easily.
"Little brother, you are lucky. Madam is kind-hearted. Just go with my Yuan family's motorcade. It's just that my Yuan family is in Yuanling Mountain, Qingshan Town. My little brother's accent is not from the local area. Now that we have reached the boundary of Qingshan Town, It’s up to you to find your own way.”
"Thank you very much, husband. I would like to thank Madam on behalf of Su Qinian."
Why couldn't Su Qinian see the old man's thoughts? He didn't explain or refuse. He only knew the direction of the road leading to Qingshan Town, Yunyang County. He could save a lot of trouble by following the locals.
The origin is unknown. Even though Su Qinian has a bright temperament, the old housekeeper only arranged for a truck at the end of the convoy. As soon as Su Qinian sat on the shaft, the two horses pulling the truck neighed lightly and seemed to be struggling. few.
This made the groom glance at Su Qinian suspiciously, seeing that the young man did not weigh much and was not yet an adult. Why was the horse suddenly struggling?
But soon he shook his head again. It was probably because of his old age and the fact that he had traveled a hundred miles. He finally got tired. He got out of the car and fed the horse a few mouthfuls of fodder and raw water. He flicked the reins hard and clicked. With a sound, the two old horses exerted their strength again and slowly caught up with the team.
The journey was uneventful, so Su Qinian sat on the carriage shaft, closed his eyes and meditated, combing through what he had learned without asking any questions. This made the old housekeeper in front of him completely relieved, and at noon he even sent someone to deliver a large bowl of hot rice. Broth, a piece of fried dough filled with green onions.
As the sun sets, the figures of carriages and horses on the official road gradually become sparse, and they approach the boundary of Qingshan Town.
"ah!"
Suddenly, a scream came from the front of the motorcade, startling the dormant black crows, and soon, a thick smell of blood filled the air. (Updated at noon.
