The boat docked at the dock of Wudang County.
This Wudang County was first placed in the Western Han Dynasty and did not exist in later generations. It is roughly located in the Guanmenyan area of Danjiangkou City.
Everyone came out of the cabin and looked to the south, only to see vast green mountains and undulating peaks. Compared with the beauty of Emei, they had a different majestic beauty.
All the Emei disciples and Tang Gong couldn't help but praise: "What a mountain!"
Yin Liu proudly said: "Wudang Mountain stretches for more than 800 miles, and the tallest one in the middle is Tianzhu Peak, known as 'one pillar holding up the sky'! There are seventy-two peaks around it, all tilting towards the main peak. As the saying goes: 'Seven Peaks' Twelve peaks face the top, twenty-four streams flow, there are thirty-six rocks and eleven caves, three pools and nine springs, ten pools and nine wells, ten rocks and nine platforms... This time, the junior sisters and junior brothers are here. Be sure to stay a few more months and enjoy it slowly.”
Li Caixia smiled and said, "Senior Brother Yin said it nicely. In fact, he doesn't care how long we stay. As long as Junior Sister Ji stays here, we will turn around immediately and he won't even take a second look."
Yin Liu immediately blushed and was about to retort when he suddenly thought that if Ji Xiaorong really stayed here and never left, how would Wudang Mountain be different from the fairy world? Blushing and speechless for a moment, Ji Xiaorong shouted: "Senior Sister Li, do you only want to bully Brother Six when you see him being honest?"
He stepped forward and twisted the tender flesh of her waist, and Li Caixia immediately shouted to surrender.
Amid laughter and commotion, everyone got off the boat and passed through the county. After walking twenty or thirty miles into the mountains, they could faintly see the cornices of Zixiao Palace.
Mo Qixi said: "We're here, we're here!" He walked quickly to lead the way. After walking for a while, he suddenly raised his head and roared, the sound shook the valley. A hill turned around at his feet, and the entire Zixiao Palace suddenly came into view.
The original location of the Wudang Sect's gate was different from the pinnacle of Emei. The Zixiao Palace was located at the foot of Zhanqi Peak in the northeast of Tianzhu Peak, facing the Bibi, Santai, Wulao, Candle, Luomao and Incense Burner peaks on the right. There is Thunder God Cave, Yuji Pool and Baozhu Peak on the left, which naturally forms a treasure chair with two dragons playing with pearls. It is grand and beautiful.
Everyone is located directly below the Zixiao Palace, with a flowing stone bridge in front of them, and the palace gate in the past.
Just as he was about to move forward, he suddenly saw several figures flashing out very quickly, quickly descending the stairs and crossing the bridge to greet them.
Everyone looked and saw that the two people on the left and right were Yu Lianzhou and Zhang Songxi. The oldest one in the middle was fair and fat, wearing a Taoist robe, with a calm look on his face. It was expected that he was Song Yuanqiao, the leader of the Seven Heroes of Wudang and Zhang Zhenren's first disciple. .
Sure enough, Yin Liu and Mo Qi shouted in unison: "Eldest brother, second brother, fourth brother."
When Zhang Songxi saw everyone, he smiled and said: "No wonder the magpies kept chirping today. I also told the eldest brother and the second brother that some happy event was coming, and then I heard the seventh child also screamed. I thought to myself that this kid would come back. What kind of happy event is this? Who would have thought that the female heroes of the Emei Sect have arrived? This is truly a blessing from heaven!"
However, Song Yuanqiao had an extremely polite nature. He bowed deeply to everyone and said with a smile: "Junior sisters and brothers from the Emei sect are here. It would be rude and disrespectful for us not to go out to welcome them."
Everyone in Emei returned the greeting and said, "I've seen the great hero Song."
Mo Qi rushed to say: "Let me introduce to you -" He looked at the Wudang heroes first, then scratched his head and said, "Since you recognize my eldest brother, it seems you don't have anything to introduce."
Then he said to Song Yuanqiao: "Brother, this is the eldest sister among the lay disciples of the Emei sect, Su Qingmeng, the heroine Su. The following are the four heroines, Li Caixia, Jin Mingjun, your younger siblings Ji Xiaorong, and Wei Jinyi. This boy is especially amazing. A few years ago, he became famous in Zhongzhou with Master Miejie. It was Ye Guhong, the golden boy of Emei, and this was the divine doctor Hu Daniu who was worshiped by the Emei sect. In addition to congratulating you on your birthday, he also came to see you. The one who looks at my third brother's condition is Tang Gong, the Shanyin righteous man, known as the 'Six Crazy Swordsman', and he is our new best friend!"
Song Yuanqiao cupped his hands and said: "Unexpectedly, a certain Song, a mere bastard, actually disturbed the jade toes of all the junior sisters in Emei, as well as Hu Zongfeng, Junior Brother Ye, and friends Tang. Song is really uneasy. I really want to thank you all, thank you very much!"
He walked up to Ye Guhong again and sighed: "A few years ago, the two brothers, Shidi and Quanzi, became mentally ill and insane. They caused harm to the village and offended the family members of the master of Emei. Yuanqiao's heart has always been uneasy! Fortunately! Junior Brother Youye taught Brother She and Quanzi a lesson in time, and forced him to come back and confess his fault, so that we could be alert in time and avoid causing a catastrophe. This action of Junior Brother is really a great kindness to Wudang, Brother Yu, I would like to express my formal thanks."
After saying that, he bowed deeply to the ground. Ye Guhong couldn't help but admire him secretly when he saw that at such an old age, he could speak out his faults without any pretense. He quickly returned the courtesy and said, "I've heard for a long time that Daxia Song is a sincere gentleman. When I meet him today, I feel I know that the reputation is well-deserved. As for the past events, many years have passed, and my master is in a clear mind, and I am afraid that he has forgotten all about it. Even my little brother, if the hero Song does not mention it, he will not remember it. "
Song Yuanqiao looked grateful, nodded repeatedly, and wanted to salute Hu Daniu again. Zhang Songxi smiled at the side and said: "Brother, we and the Emei Sect are already as close as one family. When Lao Liu got married, we truly became a family. Youdao is a family." If people don't speak the same language, if you keep being so polite, everyone won't know what to do."
Song Yuanqiao patted his head and said with a smile: "I'm confused. How can I stand here to entertain guests? All junior sisters and brothers, as well as Hu Congfeng and friends Tang, please come in quickly, please come in!"
Everyone followed him up the stairs and met many third and fourth generation Wudang disciples along the way. They all greeted them respectfully. Zhang Songxi urged them repeatedly to boil water, serve tea, and get fruit snacks to entertain everyone.
But it was Su Qingmeng who said: "Brothers, don't be busy, and don't be in a hurry to drink tea. It is only proper etiquette for me to come to your sect for the first time and pay homage to Master Zhang first."
Song Yuanqiao said: "Junior sister, I don't know. Master has been in seclusion for most of the year over the past few years. After the Chinese New Year this year, he has been in seclusion for several months and has not come out yet."
Su Qingmeng said: "Even so, we should bow down outside the door to feel at ease."
Yu Lianzhou said: "Senior Brother, this is because they respect Master, so just take them there."
Song Yuanqiao nodded and said, "Okay, let's go together."
Then he led everyone there, bypassed the Zhenwu Hall, followed a winding path, and walked to the depths of a bamboo forest in the back mountain. They saw secluded greenery, green grass, and an open space in the middle, where a small courtyard had been built. , there are only two or three bamboo houses inside, and except for the occasional chirping of birds, the surroundings are unusually quiet.
From the moment they entered the bamboo forest, everyone subconsciously relaxed their footsteps and breaths. When they arrived in front of the door, Song Yuanqiao whispered: "This is the place where my master retreats for meditation."
Su Qingmeng also whispered: "Don't disturb Master Zhang, let's kneel down here."
After saying that, he led everyone in Emei to kneel down and salute. When Tang Gong saw it, he also knelt down.
Everyone kowtowed and just stood up when they suddenly heard someone's voice coming from the bamboo house, which was: "Hey, is this kid a high disciple of the Emei Sect? It's really rare for him to have such a strong inner strength at such a young age. Hey, It's just that everything is too much, and if you insist on improving, you are only one step away from going overboard. Do you know that?"
As soon as he finished speaking, two bamboo doors opened, and a tall old Taoist with white beard and white hair, wearing an unclean Taoist robe, swayed out, his eyes looked over everyone with a smile, and finally stopped at Ye. Gu Hong beckoned: "Good boy, come here."
