The fifth day of October.
The autumn wind is slightly cold, and the magpie lake is already stained with frost.
On the island in the middle of the lake, the morning wind was slightly cold, and in front of a clear pool, Su Qinian was fishing quietly.
If anyone were here, they would find that except for a thread, there was not even a single gold or iron thing on the green bamboo fishing rod, not to mention the fishhook.
Su Qinian looked at the mirror-like water surface in front of him. The source of time around him was slightly rippling, covering the entire pond. In the pond, he could see one after another herring, from roe to seedlings, and then to adulthood. Almost at the fingertips, they were one
Change, every breath is a reincarnation.
As the fortunes of the four directions gathered, during these days, Su Qinian's understanding of the origin of time continued to burst out with inspiration, and the mystery of the sixth origin was about to be revealed.
Hubei Road, Shiyan Prefecture.
Four hundred miles away from Wudang Mountain, in Xiaoyao Valley.
At night, the lights in the thatched huts by the Bihu Lake are gradually extinguished. There are young figures lying on the simple wooden beds, looking at the cold moonlight outside the window. Although they are in Xiaoyao Valley, they are guilty, but in the eyes of these young people
The light in his eyes is bright, like a burning lamp that never goes out.
Once upon a time, six years ago, a little Wudang immortal walked out of this Xiaoyao Valley. Recently, he suppressed eight young masters of the demon clan on the banks of the Three Realms River, and was hailed as the first of the young generation of the human race.
Being from a humble background is not scary, but losing the heart of martial arts is scary.
Even ants can ride on the dragon's head. The more difficult the situation, the more likely it is that an immortal legend will be born.
In Xiaoyao Valley, there is a bamboo building that looks a little cold. The bamboo building is very elegant. There is even an image of the Taoist Zhenwu Emperor carved on the bamboo body, accompanied by a dragon and turtle. The details are exquisite and exquisite. The water has washed them over the years, making the bamboo become more beautiful.
A thick layer of patina has accumulated on the body, which is crystal clear and more magnificent than jade.
The moon is at the zenith.
The lights in the bamboo building have not been extinguished yet. In front of the door is a long-lasting lamp burning. The sacrificial sesame oil is mixed with agarwood powder that has been buried underground for hundreds of years. The light agarwood fragrance fills the air, which can make people feel peaceful and fall into deep sleep.
.
At this time, outside the bamboo building, at the entrance to Xiaoyao Valley, two figures appeared, one was a young Taoist priest from the outer courtyard of the Qing Dynasty who was on duty at the foot of Wudang Mountain today, and the other looked dusty, approaching his sixtieth year, wearing a
The old man in a navy blue military robe followed closely behind.
The two of them came to the bamboo building one after another. The Taoist priest on duty nodded towards the old man and turned to leave.
Squeak!
Before the old man could speak, the door of the bamboo building slowly opened, revealing a middle-aged Taoist priest holding a scroll, wearing a green silk robe, a beard, and a dark complexion.
"Butler Lin!"
Taoist Jingdu frowned. It had been many years. He had almost forgotten the land where he was born and raised. The old man in front of him still looked like what he remembered when he was young. Even if he was a martial arts practitioner to a certain extent,
You can live longer than ordinary people, but you can't erase the traces of time.
"Master!"
When Butler Lin saw Taoist Jingdu, a look of surprise suddenly appeared in his eyes, but it soon turned into a look of eagerness. But then, the old man hesitated for a moment, and when the words came to his lips, he didn't know how to say them.
Taoist Jingdu's eyes changed slightly. He knew that person's temperament. Now that Butler Lin appeared in Xiaoyao Valley, if it was not a matter of life and death, it would definitely not be far behind.
“Butler Lin said it’s okay!”
With almost one step, Taoist Jingdu appeared three feet in front of the old man.
Butler Lin was startled at first. It was so fast. He was also at the peak of the second-rate dragon and tiger realm. But when the eldest son took this step, he didn't see the slightest bit of falsehood. It can be seen that the eldest son's cultivation and martial arts are even more powerful.
Far above him, Wudang's magical power truly deserves its reputation.
I just heard that the eldest son is stationed in Wudang Xiaoyao Valley and is still a deacon. Once promoted to the first-class Hunyuan realm in Wudang Mountain, he will become a protector. In other words, the eldest son is still only a second-class dragon and tiger realm.
With a second-rate Dragon and Tiger Realm cultivation level, if you want to withstand the erosion of that torrent, even if you have the status of a member of the Wudang Clan, you may not be able to do it.
But thinking about the family that was currently in danger, Butler Lin didn't care so much. His voice was a little hoarse and he said: "My eldest son, the Lin family is in danger of being destroyed within ten days."
What!
Taoist Jingdu was shocked. His surname was Lin, and he was born in Luzhou, Jiangxi Province. His family was a nearly first-class martial arts family in Luzhou. In his early years, he devoted himself to Taoism and did not want to inherit the family business. He even severed ties with his father and left home.
, searching for famous mountains everywhere, until later by chance, he was accepted by Ning Yunzi, the master of Wudang Zigai Peak, as a disciple of Wudang. Later, many changes happened, and he also stayed in Xiaoyao Valley.
More than twenty years have passed in the blink of an eye, and he has barely remembered what color the land in his hometown is.
I originally thought that I would never have anything to do with that land again in this life, but I didn't expect to receive such news today.
"Is mother okay?"
Taoist Jingdu spoke, and even though he tried his best to hide it, his voice still had a vibrato.
Old Butler Lin's eyes froze, Taoist Jingdu's face suddenly turned pale, and shouted: "Speak quickly!"
Gritting his teeth, Old Butler Lin said: "Recently, an elder from the Lushan Sect came to my home and asked the Lin family to move out of their ancestral land because a copper vein controlled by the Lushan Sect happened to extend under my ancestral land of the Lin family, and there is copper essence.
Jin Yin appeared, the old lady said a few more words, and was hurt by the anger of Elder Zhu..."
"Asshole!"
A cold gleam flashed in Taoist Jingdu's eyes. The air in all directions became colder, and the stagnation in the grass showed signs of freezing.
Soon, Taoist priest Jingdu showed his expression of deep thought again. The Lushan sect is the largest martial arts sect in Luzhou. It is a top sect. Even among the top sects, few can match it. The head of the Lushan sect is even more so.
There are more than 20 experts ranked on the God List, and they are very famous among the Yuanshen of Han Dynasty.
As for the copper veins, although copper is precious and can be used to forge hair-cutting blades and even low-level traceless treasure weapons, the thing that really makes the Lushan Sect's heart beat is probably the pure copper gold, which is enough to forge high-level traceless treasure weapons and even general-level weapons.
If the rare precious iron of the spiritual weapon is copper, gold and iron marrow, it is spiritual iron. But even if it is pure copper and gold, it is enough to make any top sect's heart flutter. Even if it appears in the Shiyan Prefecture, Wudang will also be tempted.
"Walk!"
Taking a deep breath, Taoist Jingdu shouted without any hesitation.
Old Butler Lin was overjoyed, but also a little uneasy. He didn't know if Wudang's reputation could contain the Lushan Sect. After all, as far as he knew, the eldest son was just a deacon, and he was still guarding a place like Xiaoyao Valley where death sentences were suspended.
, obviously not welcomed in Wudang Mountains.
As a major sect that controls the country, like the deacon in Wudang Mountain, there are only 800 if not a thousand. It is enough to intimidate the first-class sects and the aristocratic family, but if it is a top sect with thousands of years like the Lushan Sect, it really has no confidence at all.
"etc!"
The Jingdu Taoist priest who had just taken a step stopped again, which made Old Butler Lin's heart sink. Could it be that the eldest son did not want to provoke the Lushan Sect, so he changed his mind and did not want to go into this troubled water.
In fact, Old Butler Lin was extremely anxious. If he had not been desperate, if it had not been for the inheritance left by his ancestors, he would never have ordered him to come to Shiyan Prefecture, Hubei Province. As long as there was some way, he could
His understanding of the master really only involves himself. Even if he dies, he will not lose face and ask for this eldest son.
I just regret that I was too decisive back then.
Then, Old Butler Lin saw Taoist Jingdu turn around and walk into the bamboo building without any hesitation or nostalgia.
this……
The old housekeeper trembled all over, and even his soul trembled. He felt a little sad. Did the young man who was high-spirited, but as calm as water, really not even miss his old love now?
The old man still clearly remembered that before he walked out of Lin's house, the old lady coughed up blood and wanted to send him to the door. He could see that the earnest look in the old lady's eyes had not been revealed for more than 20 years.
I have suppressed longing for a long time.
When a person is about to die, there are still faces that cannot be erased, and emotions that need to be suppressed. There are always some regrets that need to be made up for at this time...
But old housekeeper Lin never imagined that after traveling thousands of miles at night to arrive at Wudang Mountain, what he would get in return would be such a determined figure.
Shaking his head, the old man was about to turn around and leave, but he saw a figure flash in front of him. The Jingdu Taoist priest who had originally walked into the bamboo building appeared in front of him again, and handed over an engraved book that exuded the fragrance of ink.
This is……
Old Butler Lin took the book handed over by Taoist Jingdu and looked puzzled when he saw the words "Book of Rites" written in gentle handwriting on the burnt yellow page. He didn't know what Taoist Jingdu's actions were at this time.
significance.
Then, I saw Taoist Jingdu showing a solemn look and said in a deep voice: "Steward Lin, I will go to Jiangxi Road first. You can take this book and take a detour to Hailingzhou on Jianghuai Road to find someone for me to bring this person to Jiangxi Road."
Give him this book and ask him to go to Jiangxi Road to help."
Hailingzhou, Jianghuai Road?
When Old Butler Lin heard this, he felt happy at first. The eldest son was indeed not a person who forgot his roots, but he soon showed hesitation. With the eldest son's cultivation status, what kind of famous martial arts master could he know? You know, the other party is
It is the top sect of the Lushan sect with a millennium heritage. Even ordinary first-class Hunyuan realms will probably not take it seriously. Perhaps only the existence of the Tao-proving Yuan Shen can make them fearful. But is that possible?
Old Butler Lin shook his head in his heart, but still looked at Taoist Jingdu and said seriously: "Don't worry, Eldest Young Master, I will definitely bring him to you. I don't know which master the Eldest Young Master wants me to find."
At this time, Taoist Jingdu let out a breath and looked a little far away. It was not until he took a few breaths that he spoke and said calmly: "Qingyang Palace, Su Qinian!"
