After spending several hours, Li Jiang returned to the Huashan School in disgrace before the sky turned completely dark.
At this time, his body was tired and his heart was even more tired.
Today, from the ecstasy of getting the golden snake secret book to the depression after killing someone, it was like riding a roller coaster, with ups and downs. It was so exciting.
After walking through the woods and arriving in front of the house, the mute has already come to greet him, babbling and making gestures, as if to say, why are you coming back? We are all worried about you.
Before Li Jiang could answer, Yuan Chengzhi probably heard the sound and walked out quickly, looking over with concern.
Li Jiang suddenly felt warm in his heart and was greatly touched. This is the sect, and these are his own people. There is no need to worry about someone stabbing him behind his back at any time.
He pretended to be relaxed and said to the two of them: "I'm fine, don't worry. I walked around Huayin City a little more, bought a few books, and had a meal. The smell, tsk tsk, is so delicious!"
After saying that, he took out the prepared baggage from behind and showed it to the two of them.
Seeing that he was fine, Yuan Chengzhi said angrily: "Junior brother, come back early when you go down the mountain. Don't let everyone worry. If the master finds out that you have been hanging out for a day, you will definitely be punished severely."
Li Jiang listened to him and didn't talk back for the first time. Because he could hear the deep concern in his nagging, he didn't find him annoying and pretending to be a senior brother.
He hugged Yuan Chengzhi and Mute and agreed.
Seeing that he admitted his mistake, the two of them didn't think much of themselves, so they dispersed and went back to their respective houses.
Li Jiang returned to his room, put down his baggage, went out to wash up briefly, and didn't want to practice calligraphy any more, so he lay on the bed in silence.
The scenes of what happened today were replayed in his mind, making him unable to sleep at all. Especially the look of the woman bleeding from all her orifices left a deep impression on him and left him with lingering fears.
Li Jiang sat up, crossed his feet, put his palms together and recited the Heart Sutra.
"Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva, after walking in the deep Prajnaparamita for a long time, saw that the five aggregates are all empty, and endured all the hardships. Relic, color is not different from emptiness, emptiness is not different from color, color is emptiness, emptiness is color, and the same is true...
"
I have thought about it many times, but it has no effect at all, and I still can't get rid of the scary scene in my mind.
So Li Jiang jumped out of bed, found the new Taoist book he bought today, "Tai Shang Cave Xuan Ling Bao Immeasurable Man's Excellent Grade Miao Sutra", and started to read according to the words.
“In the past, in the blue sky of the beginning of time, I sang in the blue sky, and the earth was floating in the sky, and I received the immeasurable quality from the beginning of the Yuan Dynasty.
The Heavenly Lord of the Yuan Dynasty should recite this sutra, go back and forth ten times to summon the ten directions, and then take the throne. The innocent great god, the supreme sage, the great master, and the countless people without martingale come in the air.
Flying clouds and sky, green wheels, hanging feathers, jade light, five colors, the cave glows in the sky, for seven days and seven nights. The sun and moon in the sky, the stars are shining, the jade scales are stationary, the divine wind is silent, the mountains and the sea
Hidden clouds, the sky has no floating shadows, and the four atmospheres are clear and clear..."
Hey, this doesn't seem to be used for salvation, right? It seems to be Taoist metaphysics, philosophy or something like that.
Li Jiang had no choice but to stop. At this moment, he really wanted to find someone to talk to, even if he was drunk. But looking at the world, who is worthy of his trust?
Master Mu Renqing can barely do it, but he is not on the mountain now. Yuan Chengzhi, what does this little kid know? Well, maybe he has killed people with adults, but how can he cry in front of him! I don’t want to lose face.
? How can I hold my head high and be a good person in the future?
He couldn't help but think of modern society, where there are drinks, hangouts, and friends. It's really a life of drunkenness. If not, there are parents. I think they will take great care of them. It is really missed!
Thinking about modern society, crying and laughing for a while, Li Jiang fell asleep in a daze.
The next day, Li Jiang appeared in the dining hall with dark circles under his eyes. After dinner, he and Yuan Chengzhi still went to the mountain top platform to practice martial arts.
Looking at Yuan Chengzhi's tense face, Li Jiang said helplessly: "You can laugh if you want. I just didn't sleep well last night."
Yuan Chengzhi immediately laughed "haha".
"Huh!" Li Jiang really laughed when he saw him. He didn't want to talk to him anymore, so he gave him a slap on the back of his head and went to the other side and slapped him with Fuhu Palm.
After practicing for a while, Li Jiang felt that he had too little actual combat experience because of his frequent problems yesterday, so he walked over to Yuan Chengzhi and invited him to discuss his playing skills.
Yuan Chengzhi was also puzzled. Usually this junior brother was so arrogant that he didn't compete with him according to the master's requirements. He just practiced on his own. Could it be that the sun was rising in the west?
Li Jiang saw him stunned and thought he was unwilling, so he was ready to leave.
Yuan Chengzhi reacted, stopped him quickly, and said, "Okay, junior brother, I don't want what I want, so let's stop there."
In fact, Yuan Chengzhi also wanted to compete with Li Jiang to test his ability after practicing for several years.
The two senior brothers hit it off immediately, and after finishing speaking, they stood up and started moving their hands.
With this move, the gap between the two of them was revealed. Facing Li Jiang, who was a loser, Yuan Chengzhi persisted for dozens of moves before gradually struggling.
Because Li Jiang had mastered the Hunyuan Gong and had deep internal strength, every move was powerful and heavy. Yuan Chengzhi's hands and feet became numb after resisting. He had to rely on his experience in fighting ferocious beasts and bandits since he was a child to persevere.
After dozens of moves, Li Jiang hit Yuan Chengzhi on the left shoulder, jumped away, and said: "Brother, we'll stop here today."
Yuan Chengzhi rubbed his painful shoulder and said bitterly: "Oh, okay, let's stop here." At this moment, he felt a little sad. He didn't expect that he had been here for two years, but now he could not even do dozens of moves by his junior brother.
If you can't take it anymore, how can you avenge your father in the future?
This was an underestimation of his own. If it were a life-and-death fight, Li Jiang might not be able to beat him with his little experience in the world of martial arts.
However, Yuan Chengzhi has a simple nature and is not jealous of Li Jiang's coming from behind. Instead, he secretly admires him and thinks that this junior fellow student is really a genius. No wonder the master values ​​him so much and tolerates him.
In the next few days, Li Jiang's spirit was still a little sluggish. After practicing every day, he would compete with Yuan Chengzhi. It's hard to say whether his skills improved or not, but the relationship between the two became better and better.
After coming back from Lijiang Mountain, half a month has passed and the Dragon Boat Festival is coming.
Mu Renqing rushed back to Huashan before the festival. He was always worried about his two apprentices in Li Chuang's army, and ran back as soon as he was free.
On the second day of the Dragon Boat Festival, after eating realgar wine, Mu Renqing invited a portrait of the ancestor, kowtowed himself, and ordered Yuan Chengzhi and Li Jiang to kowtow.
After the two of them finished kowtowing, they heard him say again: "Today I teach you to worship the ancestor. Do you know why?"
Li Jiang raised his eyes to the sky and did not support him. Yuan Chengzhi had no choice but to reply: "Master, please let me know."
Mu Renqing glared at Li Jiang fiercely, then took out a long wooden box from the house and placed it on the table. When the lid of the wooden box was opened, he saw a dazzling light, and there was a shining three-handed weapon lying across the box.
Chi long sword.
Yuan Chengzhi was pleasantly surprised, his heart was beating wildly, and he said in a trembling voice: "Master, are you teaching us to learn swordsmanship?"
