() Hengshan Mountain, the Water Curtain Cave under Zigai Peak, where the water from the mountain stream gathers, and a waterfall of more than 20 feet falls straight down from it. The silver light is dazzling and the cold air is overwhelming. There is a small hexagonal pavilion on the lower left, called Xuelang Pavilion.
It is named after the waterfall's color is like snow and its sound is like surging waves.
There are several people sitting in the pavilion, all of them are wearing blue robes and are extraordinary warriors. The leader is an old man with a stooped body and a vicissitudes of life. He is pointing around and telling the legend of the Zhuling Cave.
In the past few days, the headmaster Xiang Shoushan and all his disciples have seen every scenery in Hengshan Mountain, leaving footprints on every dangerous peak, as if they were holding a farewell ceremony. This kind of behavior was frowned upon by his uncle Hu Yuanlin.
He was politely classified as "an old man loves his family", but he didn't want to do it together at all. Instead, he ran to Shichuanshan not far away by himself and gave Mr. Chuanshan some warm belongings.
After spending the money, Liu Meng still had nearly ten thousand taels of silver notes with him. Half of it was given to his second senior brother Zhuang Buzhong to take care of everyone's food and clothing, and the other half was given to his master Xiang Shoushan to prepare some things for the end of the year.
It was used when the Taishan Five Mountains Sword Sect gathered. Liu Meng only kept three to four hundred taels of silver notes, which was enough for food and drink.
After that night's generous presentation, Xiang Shoushan was finally persuaded by Hu Yuanlin and agreed to lead his disciples down the mountain to attend the Taishan gathering. As for whether he would re-enter the martial arts world, it would still depend on the outcome of the discussions between the leaders of the five sects.
Although it was not exactly as everyone expected, they were plunged into the heated arena; but the first time they all walked down the mountain and showed the Hengshan Sect's brand that had been hidden to the world, it was enough for several disciples to be intoxicated and excited.
Previously, Liu Meng wanted to persuade his master to go to Wu Sangui, but he couldn't express it. He thought that there was no deadline to complete the task anyway, so he could spend more time in this scene world with everyone who was like family, and
There will be no delay, so why should I rush to collect scriptures?
Therefore, I have been accompanying Master around Hengshan Mountain these past few days...
The fragrance of flowers fills the mountain. The Jin Dynasty female offering wine to the Huangting Temple, where Master Wei practiced; the most dangerous place in Hengshan - Huixian Bridge, where "the slumped rocks fell to the waist of the peak, and the lower world is filled with smoke and clouds." Finally, there is "Silent Hanging Tin"
"If I had known if there was a fire in the lamp, how long would it take for the rice to be cooked?"
………………
Downhill, downhill, downhill.
With sufficient money support, it only took a dozen days to get everything ready, including new clothes and shoes, gift bundles for various sects, ready-made medicine for wounds, etc. Another hundred taels of silver were given to the abbot of Fangguang Temple, entrusting him to
He sent young novice monks to clean the top of Zhurong Peak.
On this auspicious day in the lunar calendar, eight members of the Hengshan sect, old and young, after paying homage to the memorial tablet of their ancestor, offered incense and offered incense at the Nanyue Temple, and then set off for Mount Tai, Shandong, to attend the meeting of the Five Mountains.
The group of people were all wearing brand new blue robes. Xiang Shoushan was old and afraid of the cold. He also wore a black mink jacket. He and his junior brother Hu Yuanlin sat in the carriage and commented on the scenery along the way from time to time. Set off by the white-faced and black-bearded Hu Yuanlin, they looked like
A housekeeper who works hard all year round.
The six disciples, each with a strong horse, wearing bamboo hats on their heads and carrying long swords on their backs, surrounded the two carriages with great momentum. Along the way, countless travelers looked around and guessed, thinking that it was the patrol area of some prince or minister.
Of course, it is inevitable that there will be some heart-warming vigilantes blocking the way. At this time, the senior brother He Buwei will often come forward, announce his identity and show his brand name. If the other party still doesn't realize it and retreats, it will be a chance for several disciples who have never experienced actual combat to practice their skills.
.Xiang Shoushan repeatedly made strict demands, as long as there were no bad marks, only the uniforms could be wounded, but no human life should be harmed, saying that there was already enough killing in this land.
There were still two months before the end of the year, so we were not in a hurry on the journey. After discussing with Xiang Shoushan and Hu Yuanlin, we had only gone down the mountain once in the past twenty years, so we should also visit some sects with whom we had good friendships along the way. So after we crossed the river from Wuchang
, and all the way north, I want to visit the Songshan sect. If it is convenient, I can go to Mount Tai with them.
As for the Huashan Sect, which is also nearby, the leader, Feng Nandi, has already brought his people back to Baoding. He can't find anyone there, so he can only wait for the Taishan Conference to gather again.
Originally, according to Xiang Shoushan's wishes, I wanted to go to Leshan, Sichuan to pay a visit to the Taoist Master Mu Sang of Tiejianmen, who is now the oldest and most respected Taoist priest in the world. Unfortunately, just after I passed Wuchang, I heard a rumor from a person in the world in the inn, saying
Taoist Priest Mu Sang passed away after his ninetieth birthday. Both of them were deeply saddened.
The express train and horses traveled very fast. We arrived at Dengfeng in a short time.
When it comes to Dengfeng, it is very famous in the world. The first impression everyone has is that it is the site of the Shaolin Temple that has been passed down for thousands of years. As for the Songshan Sect, that happened a long time ago? It has been forgotten by most people now, let alone the Zhongyue Temple where it is based.
According to common sense, the Shaolin sect is the most powerful sect in the world. When the leader of the Hengshan sect arrived in Dengfeng, he had to come to greet him. However, because he adopted the strategy of shrinking to protect himself after the Manchus entered the customs, everyone looked down upon him.
, I immediately thought it was air. I passed by the foot of Shaoshi Mountain and went straight to the Zhongyue Temple at the foot of Taishi Mountain.
The current leader of the Songshan Sect is called Ding Yunzhi, and it is said that he is a descendant of Ding Mian, the former tower master. He is short and stocky, and he is also a model of keeping a low profile. Xiang Shoushan hit it off immediately, and the two leaders had a long chat.
, completely ignoring other people.
The Zhongyue Temple was burned down once by Qing soldiers in the late Ming Dynasty. The current scale is newly built, but it is only about ten years old, and the conditions are many times better than those of the Hengshan Sect.
But one thing is that the Songshan Sect is also in decline. Apart from the leader Ding Yun, there are only two elders, Meng Yunqing and Wei Yunfeng. There are only more than ten disciples below, and only four of them can travel alone in the world after graduation.
When the disciples of the two sects saw that the famous Five Mountains Sword Sect in the past was now in such a miserable state, their excitement had long since disappeared and they all felt pity. Even the usual arrangements for exchanges and exchanges were hastily handled without any trace of anything.
The desire to win and be strong.
Of course the elders at the head of the two sects were not happy with this kind of discouragement. Hu Yuanlin of the Hengshan sect was just that. He had always been indifferent and indulged most of his disciples like children. Elder Wei Yunfeng of the Songshan sect was much stricter. One afternoon
After calling everyone, he came to the river not far from the temple gate and ordered everyone to stand in two four-elephant sword formations to practice the method of forming positive and negative four-elephant sword formations.
As disciples of the Wuyue Sword Sect, Liu Meng and other Hengshan disciples must also obey the orders of the elders of each sect. The six disciples of the Hengshan Sect, except for the Thirteenth Form of Thousand Changes of Clouds and Mists that Lao Wuhou was unhappy about, still lacked the fire to start training.
The other five have all passed the apprenticeship examination. However, the third one, Pang, is silent and talkative. Master Xiang Shoushan has arranged for him to go to the main hall to learn the meditation mantra with the Taoist priest. It is not possible for him to attend the training this time.
Immediately, the boss, He Buwei, led Liu Meng to occupy the positions of Li and Qian. The second brother, Zhuang Buzhong, and the fourth child, Lu Bujuo, occupied the defensive positions of Dui and Kun. They formed an anti-four-image array and followed the teachings of Elder Wei of the Songshan Sect.
