On the coalition side, there are 10,000 troops from Xishu County, led by 2,000 cavalry. Yunchuan County is all cavalry. Although many of the men and horses charging forward were hit by arrows, they did not slow down their forward progress. A few moments later, the Western Shu allied forces fought hand to hand with the Southern Wei army's front and left fronts, and the sound of killing was loud. On the west side, hundreds of Xishu masters, all of whom were highly skilled in Qinggong, quickly rushed into the Southern Wei army like ghosts, slashing with swords, stabbing, and striking with spears and sticks, making them invincible. In close combat, how can a soldier be the opponent of a master of martial arts?
After the sword formation soldiers arrived, the west side became even more powerful. The chiefs of the seventy sword formations commanded the six people in their respective sword formations, and they quickly interspersed among the Southern Wei army like a goddess scattering flowers. When encountering the Southern Wei army, it was like a knife slicing an ox, suddenly turning to the left, suddenly turning to the right. The Southern Wei army here was separated by nearly a hundred islands by the sword formation. The sword formation continued to wipe out each island, and in an instant, corpses were everywhere.
…
It was tea time again, and the mountains and plains were filled with corpses of Wei troops. Seeing that the situation was over, the general ordered the troops to retreat from the front to the rear, and from the rear to the front, and quickly retreated to the south bank of the Xia River. On the way back, they encountered the oncoming 5,000 Chuyue County army! The Western Shu Allied Forces were chasing after them from behind. Under two flanking attacks, there were countless casualties again!
Seeing that the entire army was about to be annihilated, Sima Ren was distraught and said: "That's all! It's just a mantis trying to beat the chariot!", in order to save the remaining brothers. So he stood on the chariot and moved towards the main formation of the Western Sichuan Army, using his internal strength and shouting: "I am Sima Ren, the chief general of the Wei Kingdom. We are willing to surrender and don't commit any more murderous crimes!"
…
In the 519th year of the Great Xia Dynasty, the Southern Wei State attacked Western Shu, and the Western Shu Allied Forces defeated the Southern Wei Army in the north of Western Shu County. Annihilated 13,000 Southern Wei people and surrendered 7,000. The Southern Wei Kingdom never recovered from the fall. In the same year, Nanchen Kingdom destroyed Southern Wei.
The king of Southern Wei finally paid the heaviest price for his stupidity-the destruction of the country.
The Southern Wei Dynasty was defeated by Western Shu and then destroyed by Nanchen. The remaining ten small countries of the Jin Dynasty were shocked by the whole country. Therefore, the war between them also stopped and began to cultivate and recuperate. There was actually a peaceful situation that had been rare in decades.
…
It is said that after the surrender of the Southern Wei army, the masters of the various sects in Western Shu returned to the Western Shu county to rest for a night, then bid farewell to Governor Lu and returned to their respective sects.
Qingshan Sect also recalled those disciples who were training the sword formation in Xishu. There are two reasons: First, the biggest threat to the Great Xia Dynasty - the Southern Wei Kingdom has already sunk to the west and has no power to fight back. Xi Shu no longer needs these disciples for training. The second is the Xishu Sword Formation. There are already many soldiers who are proficient in the sword formation, and they are more than enough to serve as instructors.
The Qingshan Sect hurriedly returned to Daqingshan, as the head still had urgent matters to deal with. That is - go to Tianshu Peak to find out what methods of cultivating immortality the ancestors left behind!
…
In late autumn, in the west of Xishu County.
In the blue sky, formations of southbound wild geese flew past from time to time.
On the official road to the west, there were dozens of people riding horses and walking slowly. Horses and people are both in rare comfort.
"Third brother, you surrounded the masters of the Southern Wei Dynasty at the entrance of the valley but did not fight. You probably didn't want to cause more grudges." The leader walked side by side with Qingxuan and Qingyi's horses. The leader is in the center. Dozens of other elite disciples all took the initiative to follow from a distance, chatting comfortably with each other and watching the scenery along the way. Also avoid getting too close and listening to things you shouldn’t.
"Yes, the leader and I have the same thoughts. It is better to have less enmity in the world. We are just asking for a long life. We will cause less killing and less sin." Qingxuan replied, "For ordinary people, Soldiers, the leader also gave orders to only defend and not take the initiative to kill, is this the same idea?"
"Yes, third brother. All the masters of the Southern Wei Dynasty are gone. We really shouldn't appear in the Western Shu army to fight against the Wei army. But due to the relationship between the successive heads of Qingshan Sect and the successive governors of Xishu County. This matter We can't do anything too extreme. Therefore, we have to give orders to the disciples of the Qingshan Sect, they can only defend themselves and not take the initiative to kill. But for other sects, we are not qualified to make demands." The leader explained.
"Senior Brother Head, I heard from Senior Brother Qingyi that you want to explore the peaks of Tianshu?" Qingxuan asked.
"That's right! I've always been worried about the "Judgment of Gods". You must be the same."
"Although I didn't gain anything from practicing the "Jian Shen Jue", I never had any doubts about it from the beginning to the end. There must be something wrong." Elder Qingyi said.
"So, the seven peaks must be explored. The two founders, Xuanji and Tianchen, are fascinating!" The leader looked towards the direction of Daqing Mountain.
…
Daqingshan, Tianquan Mountain Gate.
"Master, I'm looking forward to having you back!" Xiao Yuanzhen saw a group of people leading horses on the way up the mountain from a distance. There was still about a mile away from the gate of Qingshan Zong, so he jumped up and down to greet the master. .
"Uncle Yuan Zhen, slow down!" Lin Mo saw Yuan Zhen running out of the mountain gate and hurriedly followed him.
Since everyone from the Qingshan Sect came down from the mountain, Lin Mo and six other senior brothers have been on duty at the mountain gate every day. The enemy is facing the enemy, and all the elites of the sect have gone down the mountain, so there is no morning practice. Xiao Yuanzhen plays in front of the mountain gate every day, waiting for his master to return soon. Lin Mo had a headache!
"My dear disciple, have you felt unfamiliar with your skills these past few days?" Qingxuan was very happy to see Yuan Zhen running over to greet him.
"It's only been a few days, how can we be so unfamiliar?"
"Master Qingxuan and Master Yuanzhen have been waiting for your return at the mountain gate every day these past few days." Lin Mo caught up and said.
"That means I didn't practice properly." Qingxuan smiled.
"Lin Mo, you..." Yuan Zhen saw Lin Mo taking the opportunity to expose his shortcomings, glared at him, and was speechless for a moment.
Since Qingxuan accepted Yuan Zhen as his disciple three years ago, he has taught him carefully every day. Yuan Zhen is also very smart and motivated. After three years of hard practice, Qingshan Sword Technique and Light Body Technique have begun to gain a glimpse. At this time, he was already fifteen years old, and he had gradually transformed from a childish boy into a young man.
"Dad, you're back!" A female voice like an oriole coming out of the valley came from behind Yuan Zhen and Lin Mo.
"My dear daughter, daddy has returned victorious. Do you miss daddy?" The leader quickly stepped forward to greet her.
It turns out that this is Qingyang Yanran, the apple of the eye of head Qinghao.
The lay family leader of Qinghao was given the surname Qingyang and his name was Qingyangze. Head Qinghao and his wife have a son and a daughter, Qingyang Yanran is the youngest. This year I am also fifteen years old. Because of his young age, he usually practices Qingshan Sword Technique and Light Body Technique with his senior brothers and sisters from the "Yu" generation. The head's wife didn't want her to wield swords and swords like a man all day long, so she had already found some boys and girls of the same age among her disciples' families and tenant farmers in Qingshan. On weekdays, in addition to chanting sutras and practicing Qigong, they also play together and do nvhong with the girls. Qingyang Yanran was not included in Qingshan Taoist records, so she had no Taoist title and no seniority.
After Yuan Zhen came to Qingshan Sect, Xiao Yanran had a little brother to play with. Qingxuan also naturally became their master. Over the course of three years, the two children became as familiar as brothers and sisters.
"Yanran, are you here to take over as the head master?" Yuan Zhen made a face to Yanran.
"What's more, they didn't call me when they arrived. They made me take a nap in front of the mountain gate." Yan Ran said angrily.
"Hahaha" Taoist priest Qingyi laughed.
…
Everyone walked into the mountain gate while talking and laughing.
Walk to the front of Zhongtian Hall.
"Disciples, you have been traveling back and forth to fight against powerful enemies in recent days. Thank you for your hard work! The whole sect is specially allowed to rest for nine days. Disciples with family members can go home and reunite. After nine days, they will practice cultivation again! Injured disciples will be After cultivating your health, you can practice again." The leader felt that it was very difficult to fight against the Wei masters and the Wei army this time, so he specially asked everyone to rest for a while and spend more time with their families.
"Thank you, Master!", "Thank you, Master!" All the disciples cheered.
"Disciples of the Yuan generation will come to Zhongtian Hall to discuss matters in three days." The leader added.
…
Three days later, the meeting hall of Zhongtian Palace.
The leader, two elders, seven Yuan generation disciples, and Qingyang Yanran sat down.
"Core disciples, today I will get straight to the point." - Head Qinghao told the core disciples the conversation he had with Xiao Qian at the cliff of Qushan Mountain.
"The "Qingshan Zongzhi" was created by the founder of the sect, Taoist Yangming. It records in detail the miraculous methods of the founders of the sect, Xuanjizi and Tianchenzi. Taoist Yangming mentioned in the Zongzhi: "Original instructions from Master Tianchen, Qifeng All have mountain gates, and future generations of disciples need to take strict care of them and keep them for future use. Past leaders must keep this in mind.'"
"But the strange thing is that Yaoguang Peak not only has a mountain gate, but also an ancient remnant. My two junior brothers and I have seen it before, and we have obtained the "Judgment of God Appreciation" since then."
"Uncle Qingxuan's little sword is actually derived from Fluctuating Light."
"Since Xiao Qian's sect has secret records, it is recorded that 'Tianshu Peak has a method to become an immortal.'" Qinghao continued, "then we cannot let others get these secrets of the sect."
"What we seek is longevity! Instead of guarding for generations, why not take the initiative to explore! If we find the secret to becoming an immortal, it will be a great blessing for us!"
"If you don't find it and offend all the ancestors, I will bear the responsibility alone!" Head Qinghao said sadly.
Everyone present was moved. People who practice Taoism seek to live forever and become immortals. We must abide by the instructions of our ancestors. But if you can't keep the sect's secrets even with your own abilities, then you might as well take the initiative to explore them. If there are any secrets, if you learn more advanced skills, you can better protect the sect. Presumably the ancestors of the past generations have spirits in heaven, and they will not blame everyone.
"Let's go and explore Tianshu first. In these days, we will search all the seven peaks!" The leader took the lead to walk out of Zhongtian Hall.
Daqingshan is located five hundred miles south of Xiajiang River. The northern end of Sanqian Mountain is blocked by the Qushan Mountains, which stretches from east to west. Therefore, the cold air north of the Xiajiang River cannot move southward. But Daqingshan in late autumn is still very cool.
Everyone walked along the ridge between Tianquan, Tianji, Tianxuan and Tianshu peaks. There are already paths on the ridge that the Qingshan Sect has opened for hundreds of years. In less than an hour, everyone reached the end of the path from Tianxuan to Tianshu and reached the halfway point of Tianshu Peak.
Among the six peaks, Tianshu Peak is not the highest, but it is the steepest. Everyone looked up and saw a flat land about thirty feet in diameter halfway up the mountain. There is a circular stone arch in the middle of the flat ground. The stone arch is not high, about one foot. Next to the stone arch is a house. The house is where the guarding disciples live.
As soon as everyone appeared, the guarding disciples came over to greet them.
"I've met the master master!"
"I've met Master!"
"I've met Master Qingxuan's uncle!"
"I've met the master!"
"I've met all the masters!"
The disciples who have been guarding Tianshu Peak recently are the second disciple of Elder Qingyi and the four disciples of Taoist Priest Yuanhong.
"Are you lazy?" Yuan Hong asked the four disciples.
"How dare you, Master." One of the disciples said with a smile.
"The head master wants to take us to explore Tianshu Peak. You continue to be on duty." Yuan Hong ordered.
Everyone walked to the stone arch door and looked at it carefully.
This stone arch has been studied countless times by all the past heads, elders, and disciples who have guarded the Six Peaks. Different from Qingshan Sect, this stone arch is made of unknown stone and has a dark surface. There is a word written on the stone gate, which is neither Han Li nor a word that appears in "Jian Shen Jue". It is more primitive than the ancient small seal script in "Jian Shen Jue".
Except for Tianshu Peak, each of the other five peaks has a stone arch with a similar shape. And there is an unknown word on each one. It just looks like the glyphs are different, so they must be different characters.
The strange thing is that Tianquan Peak does not have such a stone arch!
The Qingshan Sect has been passed down for hundreds of years, and it is impossible to say that no one has studied and studied the mountain gates of the six peaks. It’s just that every generation ponders over it and leaves it alone. Even the sects outside must have masters and immortal hermits who visit from time to time. Otherwise, how could the sect be able to hold on with generations of Qingshan sect members who are not the highest in martial arts.
