When the light had completely subsided, it was already half an hour later. Su Qinian only felt a burst of clarity in front of his eyes. His eyes penetrated and his mental power gathered. He could even easily penetrate the dilapidated walls and see various scenes outside Qingyang Hall.
At this point, his mental power had nearly tripled, and he could see everything within a radius of more than thirty feet, and nothing could escape his eyes.
Standing up, Su Qinian thought, and densely packed long knives appeared on the ground in front of him. The long knives were like a forest, and they actually exuded a faint edge.
The soul-destroying technique has reached this stage. In Su Qinian's view, it is not far from turning from virtual to real and interfering with the real world.
Su Qinian estimated that perhaps when he reached the next level of "****", he would be able to initially demonstrate the true majesty of this spiritual martial art.
After a stick of incense, outside the Qingyang Hall.
Buzz!
There was a faint sound of knives coming from the hall. In front of the bonfire, Qingyu and the other three were stagnant. Then, Jinggu and Qingyu discovered that the knives and swords behind them were trembling at the same time.
The three of them stood up and looked at each other, their hearts shaking.
…
Laba Festival has passed, and the first lunar month is not far away. Ordinary people start to be busy in the new year, such as dusting, settling rent, marinating various meats, and asking scholars in villages and towns who are well-read in poetry and books to write a few auspicious spring couplets. , after a year of trepidation, this twelfth lunar month is the most stable and peaceful.
This generation of emperors of the Han Dynasty still attaches great importance to people's livelihood. At the end of the twelfth lunar month, the number of troops stationed in various prefectures, counties and towns has doubled. In the past, monsters that may have penetrated into the crowd are almost impossible to escape in this twelfth lunar month. .
As the leader of the country, Wudang’s annual festival is also quite grand. There is a grand ceremony to worship Tianwu, and each peak has its own arrangement. Many newly purchased clothes, quilts, sesame oils, and snacks and candies are continuously transported up the mountain.
Standing on the top of Qingyang Peak. Su Qinian looked at the people in Wudang Mountain as if they were tiny ants. After Laba Festival, the flavor of the New Year became a bit stronger.
The most important thing is that after Laba, it was a day later. It’s the annual festival competition.
The three-year competition was last year, so this year is just a small competition in the outer courtyard. The next round of the three-year competition will have to wait two years.
On the day after Laba, Su Qinian and the other three did not practice martial arts, but relaxed and soothed their minds. Fatty took Jinggu to dig out his private wine collection, while Qingyu liked to play the erhu. He came from a commoner family. His ancestors have been the main erhu players in opera troupes for generations. The skill of erhu has been passed down to his generation. Although he has not inherited the old profession, he has not lost his skill.
Qingyu's erhu sound was a bit desolate, with a strong market flavor, and maybe not too elegant in music, but he never tired of it.
Su Qinian walked in Qingyang Peak, observing and touching every stone, every spring, and every clear stream. There are also ancient trees that have been around for many years. Some are still evergreen in the cold winter months, while others have withered branches and leaves, but they all have the same ancient and vicissitudes of life.
Watch the birth of all things. As the grass and trees wither, Su Qinian realizes something. It is said in the Tao Te Ching: "Man follows the earth, earth follows the sky, heaven follows the Tao, and the Tao follows nature."
…
This night. The winter moon on Qingyang Peak was particularly bright. On the top of the mountain, Su Qinian looked at the bright moon like a disk. On a tall mountain rock, he used a knife as a pen, and with his energy and blood penetrating the edge, he carved a sentence.
People have joys and sorrows, and the moon waxes and wanes.
Bathed in the moonlight, he lay on the top of the mountain and fell asleep unconsciously.
At Chenshi, the sun rises one minute earlier than usual.
The orange-red sunlight climbed onto his face. Su Qinian opened his eyes, stood up, took a deep breath, and yawned. It had been nearly two months since he fell asleep like this. Even though his sleep was still uneasy, it still made his whole body feel numb. It seems a bit lighter.
The next moment, his eyes were fixed, all laziness was expelled, his breath was restrained, and he became calm.
…
Wudang Outer Courtyard has a total of six branches, which are located at the foot of Huangya Peak, Leishi Peak, Baiyun Peak, Tianzhu Peak, Huixian Peak and Qianzhang Peak. The annual competition of the Outer Courtyard is held in the Tianzhu Peak Outer Courtyard every year. , the outer courtyard of Tianzhu Peak is also the largest building among the six branches.
As the morning sun rose, many outer courtyard disciples opened their eyes and walked out of their respective branches. They caught the solemn smell in the air. Although it was just a annual festival competition in the mountains, for many outer courtyard disciples, it was no less than An experience, fighting against many young and strong men of the same generation, measuring oneself, checking for mistakes and filling in the gaps. Every year, many disciples from the outer courtyard understand the principles of boxing in the competition, break through the realm, and reach a higher level in the attack. Floors.
"It is rumored that Senior Brother Gu Yuehe from Huangya Peak has been accepted by Jinguang Zhenren from Jinsuo Peak. During this trip to the Moyun Mountains, he received the Three-Point Dragon Subduing Palm."
"I heard that a few days ago, Jinguang Zhenren ordered him to enter the peak, personally healed his injuries, and gave him guidance to help him improve his Taoist foundation. After the competition in the outer courtyard, he will formally salute and join the Jinsuo Peak lineage."
"If you can understand the Three-Point Dragon Subduing Palm, I heard from the deacon that maybe you can use it to create a first-class palm technique in the future."
Some familiar disciples from the outer courtyard walked together on the mountain road, talking quietly to each other. There are more than a thousand disciples in the six branches. It is difficult to tell how many masters are hidden among them. Not to mention that there has been no fighting for a year, it is possible that no one among them will have an adventure, or that Once he had an epiphany, his foundation-building skills improved by leaps and bounds.
However, in comparison, the ones that can be talked about by many outer courtyard disciples are still inseparable from a small group of people with outstanding skills.
"Senior Brother Lingqingyang from Leishi Peak, Senior Brother Qinglu from Baiyun Peak, Senior Sister Yue Qingyun from Huixian Peak, Senior Brother Ling Qingping from Qianzhang Peak, and Senior Brother Tu Qingfeng from Tianzhu Peak. I heard that they participated in the competition two months ago. Enlightenment has reached the ninth level of the "Turtle and Snake Technique", but it is just because it is undecided as to which peak and which branch to worship, so it has not yet left the outer courtyard."
When talking about these top figures in the outer court, many disciples have all kinds of envy and admiration in their eyes. For ordinary outer court disciples like them, the skills of the eighth and ninth levels above the seventh level of "Turtle and Snake Kung Fu" are really unimaginable. The power of a bloody horse is enough for them to look down on more than 90% of the martial arts practitioners in the martial arts world who have not yet established a foundation. However, how powerful a Pegasus horse is, some outer courtyard disciples who have experienced it for several years can only sigh in their hearts.
For them, when the seventh level of "Turtle and Snake Technique" is completed, it's time to build the foundation. But for a small group of people in the outer courtyard, the seventh level of "Turtle and Snake Technique" will never be satisfied. They have to rush to reach it. At a higher level, the eight or even nine levels of "Turtle and Snake Technique" are used to build the foundation. Once the world is created, he is no longer an ordinary third-rate person. Even if he only penetrates one of the Twelve Meridians, he is enough to defeat the ordinary three or four Twelve Meridians. A third-rate master.
Such a profound foundation will allow them to go further on the road to martial arts in the future, and will have a greater chance of reaching the second-rate, first-rate, and even the supreme realm of soul, which is the pinnacle of enlightenment.
Tianzhu Peak, also known as Shenling, ranks first among the seventy-two peaks. It should be three days high and second to Yi Zhen. In the morning and evening, you can see the sun and the moon rising and setting, and watch the colorful clouds cover the ridge. The golden dome is seventy feet long from east to west and nineteen feet wide from north to south. The four dimensions are made of stone, and the spine is like a basalt backbone.
Tianzhu Peak outer courtyard.
It is not so much one of the six branches of the outer courtyard, but rather a magnificent ancient Taoist palace, covering an area of about forty acres. The black and yellow palace wall outside the palace is shaped like a trigram, with eight side entrances for the disciples of the Wufeng Branch in all directions. Once inside, you won't see congestion or disputes.
The annual ceremony lasted for three full days. On the morning of the first day, disciples and deacons from all branches were gathered together, as well as the guardians, elders and other senior experts who might come from various peaks and lineages.
This morning was also the busiest time in the service room. Various reception arrangements, as well as the preparation of many utensils, tea, food, and even the preparation of some healing herbs and bandages, were an extremely complicated task. .
Nearly two thousand people entered the palace, and the martial arts arena, which was originally quite vast in the eyes of many disciples from the outer courtyard of Tianzhu Peak, seemed a bit cramped.
The martial arts arena is divided into seven blocks, six of which belong to the Six Branches, with simple furnishings and supplies. The seventh block is the location of the stationed deacons and masters of the Six Branches, as well as people from all peaks and veins, and various incense. The tea, melons and fruits were placed early, and there were also handymen and Taoists accompanying them to serve them at any time.
Despite the huge differences, many outer courtyard disciples did not say anything. This was the difference in force and status.
In addition, there are also divisions in the martial arts performance field. Black stone platforms mixed with molten iron have been erected. More than a thousand disciples from the outer courtyard compete in martial arts. If they are held one by one, they may not be able to compete even in a month or two. After finishing, it is different now. There are a total of thirty-six black iron stone platforms, and thirty-six competitions are held simultaneously, so that the competition can be concluded within three days.
The New Year Festival Competition officially begins, half an hour after lunch.
It was approaching noon, and nearly 90% of the disciples from the Six Branches had entered the palace in twos and threes. At the Zhenlei Gate, one of the eight gates, two Taoist priests stationed at the door beat their shoulders. They had already ushered in nearly 300 people. , the road traveled back and forth would probably be dozens of miles long.
"Another fight between dragons and tigers."
The two then looked at each other, sighing in their hearts, but more than anything, they were regretful. They were already thirty years old, but they had not been able to build the foundation. They could only leave the outer courtyard and work as servants with complicated affairs and the lowest status in the mountains. house.
"You two, please lead the way."
Just as the two were distracted in their memories, a calm voice sounded in their ears.
After coming back to their senses, the two Taoist priests saw four figures in front of them. Except for the two who were wearing gray Taoist robes from the outer courtyard, a boy of fifteen or sixteen years old was wearing a dark green robe. As for the other, smaller one, It is actually a blue silk Taoist robe, customized by Wudang. Only people of Jing generation can wear it. Otherwise, if you exceed the customization, you will be held accountable by Zhenwutang. (Please subscribe, please give me a monthly ticket. Genuine subscription is the greatest support for Shibu.
