Chapter 534: Going down Mount Hua, riding horses across the rivers and lakes
Time flies, and another year has passed in the blink of an eye. Li Mu is sixteen years old, and has finally learned the 365 Chaoyang Yiqi Sword.
It’s been four years since I left home, and it’s time to go home.
After Yue Buqun found out, he readily agreed.
However, before leaving, he was given another small task: to deliver a letter to Hengshan Mountain in the north and Hengshan Mountain in the south.
Of course, sending letters is not the main purpose. Li Mu is not young anymore, his martial arts skills are among the best among the younger generation, and he is also smart, but he has little experience in martial arts.
Beiyue Hengshan and Nanyue Hengshan are sects that have maintained a good relationship with each other after the decline of Huashan.
Of course, among the Wuyue Sword Sects, these three are the weakest, and their relationship is naturally closer. Unlike the Songshan Sect and Taishan Sect, they have strength in numbers and many masters, so there is no need to hug together for warmth.
Li Mu first entered the world and had little experience. Starting to travel from these two factions was a good starting point.
Not only can you get to know the masters of the Wuyue Sword Sect in advance, experience the martial arts of each sect, and make friends with the younger generation of masters, there will be no danger in the world.
Of course, this is all Yue Buqun's idea, but Li Mu doesn't care. He has some experience in martial arts, but since he has come to the world of martial arts, there is nothing wrong with walking around more.
Didn't someone say it before? If you want to travel around the world, you have to drink the best wine, ride the most powerful horse, and have the most beautiful woman.
It’s hard to say whether you can do it or not, you still have to think about it.
Simply, he could just run a few more steps to Hengshan Mountain in the north, and take a turn on the way back to Fujian from Hengshan Mountain in the south. Two letters wouldn't waste much time on him.
Li Mu went down to Huashan Mountain and came to the nearby branch of Fuwei Escort Agency. The snow-white pony that Lin Zhennan gave him more than three years ago has now grown to an extraordinary size and is named Xiaobai.
After packing his luggage and riding on Xiaobai, Li Mu shook the reins and galloped away.
…
The weather in March was alternately warm and cold, so Li Mu kept riding and arrived at a small town at the foot of Hengshan Mountain in two days. This small town was almost based on Hengshan Mountain and was full of believers offering incense and worshiping Buddha.
Since Hengshan is a place of Qing Dynasty, it is not convenient to entertain visitors. Therefore, a separate courtyard was built in the small town to entertain fellow martial artists and some devout and generous pilgrims.
The other courtyard is built outside the town. If you ask around a little, you will know the route.
I heard that he was a disciple of Huashan and wanted to meet with the headmaster and deliver a handwritten letter from the headmaster of Huashan. Disciple Zhike was very polite and arranged a room for Li Mu in another courtyard.
Li Mu washed and bathed, felt refreshed, and wandered around the town.
Because this town is backed by the Hengshan Sect, the security is very good. Although there are many people from the Jianghu, the Hengshan Sect has killed the demons early in the morning, so it appears to be a bit prosperous.
I found an elegant restaurant and had a good meal of my internal organs. After two days of traveling, I was a little tired, so I returned to Hengshan Villa and had an early rest.
The next day, Li Mu finished practicing Zixia Gong on nearby rocks, had breakfast, and walked towards Hengshan Mountain under the leadership of a Zhike monk.
As expected of a knowledgeable monk who often receives pilgrims, he picked up the scenery of Hengshan Mountain along the way and could tell an allusion just by pointing at it.
When they arrived at the gate of Hengshan Mountain, another Zhike disciple was introduced to the side hall to serve tea. This Zhike disciple was a little nun in his late teens. The two announced their names, and the Buddhist name was "Yi Hui". Master Dingyi sat down
disciple.
Li Mu did not hesitate, and directly expressed his intention, saying that he had a letter written by his master, Yue Buqun, the head of Huashan, and sent it to Master Dingxian, the head of Hengshan.
It is said that every sect's Zhike disciples are selected to be disciples who are gentle, eloquent, and very patient. Li Mu agrees with this. He can be the disciple of Master Dingyi, who has a bad temper, even if he is not gentle.
After hearing what Li Mu said, Yi Hui did not dare to be negligent, recited a Buddha's name, and left quickly.
Li Mu sat here leisurely drinking tea and looking at the furnishings in the side hall. This Hengshan sect is worthy of being of the Buddhist lineage. Whether it is a table or a chair or the furnishings in the room, they are all extremely simple.
During the tea time, a disciple came to inform the leader, Master Dingxian, that he was invited. Li Mu did not dare to neglect, straightened his clothes, and then walked through several courtyards and entered the inner hall.
This is a Buddhist hall that enshrines the Buddha statue of Guanyin Bodhisattva. There is a master in his forties who is wearing black robes and has a kind face. He is sitting on a futon with his hands clasped together and looking up at him.
Li Mu did not hesitate, knowing that Dingxian was several years older than Yue Buqun, but it was only because of his advanced internal strength and facial expression that he looked so young. He hurriedly saluted and said: "Disciple Lin Pingzhi of Huashan, pay homage to Master Dingxian."
.”
Master Dingxian smiled and said, "No need to be formal!" Pointing to a futon next to him, he said, "The Buddhist hall is simple, so my nephew can sit down and talk."
Li Mu thanked him and said, "Thank you very much, uncle."
Dingxian said: "Your master and I haven't seen each other for several years. Mr. Yue is doing well lately!"
Li Mu said in a respectful tone: "Thanks to my uncle, my master has always been kind to me. This is the letter my master wrote to my uncle before I came here!" After saying that, he took out the letter from his arms and handed it to Master Dingxian with both hands.
Dingxian took it and opened it, read it once, and then said with great interest: "Oh. It turns out this is your first time traveling down the mountain. Seeing that you are not very old, your master thinks highly of you."
Without waiting for Li Mu to speak, he spoke again: "I heard that Junior Brother Yue has many disciples, and the eldest disciple Linghu Chong is the best in swordsmanship. A few years ago, he came with Junior Brother Yue to compete with my disciples.
Ichiban, your swordsmanship is really good."
"Since I can rest assured that you will be traveling in the mountains this time, my martial arts must be pretty good. How can I compare with Linghu Chong?"
Li Mu was not modest either. He thought for a while and said, "In terms of swordsmanship, the senior brother is better. In terms of internal strength, the disciple is more advanced."
Master Dingxian glanced at him in surprise: "Looking at your age, you should be young, but your internal strength is so impressive."
Li Mu said: "This disciple is sixteen years old this year."
Dingxian said with a smile: "It seems that Junior Brother Yue has gained another talented person as a disciple. I am quite impressed."
As he spoke, he clasped his hands together and pronounced the Buddha's name.
After taking a closer look, I felt more and more that this young man was extraordinary.
Master Dingxian was very interested when she arrived. She chatted with Li Mu over a cup of tea. She closed her eyes slightly and recited a few verses in a low voice, as if to see off the guests.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Li Mu did not want to disturb Master Tai Qingxiu, so he bowed and left.
…
The Hengshan Sect occupies a vast area. When Li Mu left the Buddhist hall, he saw no disciples of Zhike. This was the place where Master Tai cultivated himself, and few people came there, so he had to leave alone.
It just so happens that Mount Hengshan has a nice view, so you can take a stroll.
After walking a hundred feet away, there was a sound coming from nearby. It was quite lively. Li Mu turned around and walked over, walking around the rocks. Suddenly, a loud shout came to his ears. It turned out that the place ahead was the Hengshan martial arts training ground.
Li Mu took a quick look and saw how wonderful the scenery was.
I saw hundreds of pretty little nuns humming and laughing on the field, swords blazing, white lights shining everywhere under the sunlight, and all the bald heads covered with white flowers, the scene was really spectacular.
At this moment, a bang came from my ears:
"Who are you? How dare you break into our Hengshan Sect!"
Although it was a female voice, her voice was rough and loud, reaching directly into the ears, as if it was exploding in the ears.
Li Mu was originally in high spirits, watching a rare scene, but he was completely unprepared and was startled by the loud shout.
At the same time, I was also secretly surprised by the kung fu of this female nun in front of me. Since he practiced Zixia Gong, his five senses have become more and more acute, and ordinary things around him cannot be hidden from his ears.
Even if he was distracted by watching at this time, he would not let people get close to him without knowing it.
Thinking of this, Li Mu turned around and saw a female nun in her forties standing outside her husband. She was wearing a black robe. She was very tall. She had thick eyebrows and straight nose, and her eyes were round. She must be one of the Three Destinations of Hengshan. But
For a moment, I couldn't tell whether it was Master Dingjing, the master of Baiyun Nunnery, or Master Dingyi.
Li Mu knew he was being rude, so he bowed and said, "Huashan disciple Lin Pingzhi has met his master!"
When the master heard that he was a disciple of Huashan, his face softened a little, but his voice was not polite at all, and he shouted: "I just saw you wandering around in the sect, walking around, and now you have come to the martial arts field. Since you are a disciple of Huashan, you are also a disciple of Huashan."
You should know the rules,”
Li Mu said helplessly: "This disciple came to visit Master Dingxian this morning. Seeing the beautiful scenery of Mount Heng, he walked away and unexpectedly ended up here. Master, please forgive me."
The master was half-convinced and his eyes were gleaming, making people feel like they had nothing to hide.
She stared at Li Mu intently for a while to see if he was guilty, his eyes were evasive, or he was panicked.
Li Mu has experienced so many worlds, how can he be afraid of this. His expression is calm, his eyes are clear, and he is not moved by it at all.
The master looked at it for a long time, but couldn't find any clues. He let out a cold "hum", obviously feeling unhappy.
Seeing that Master Dingyi had such a bad temper, Li Mu's heart lit up and he guessed who this person was. He couldn't help but clasping his fists and saying, "But Master Dingyi is in person."
Master Dingyi said softly and asked in surprise: "You didn't recognize me before, so why do you recognize me now? Have you seen me before?"
Li Mu naturally couldn't say, who made you famous in the Five Mountains Sword Sect for your bad temper? He thought for a while and said:
"I have never met my uncle before, but my uncle's name is like thunder and everyone in the world knows it. I just saw that my uncle is upright, bold and generous, and he will not let women down, so I guessed that he is my uncle."
Master Dingyi's expression immediately softened a lot, and even turned from anger to joy: "I am much smarter than your master, so you are coming to our Hengshan Mountain for a trip. You want to experience my sect's martial arts. I just saw you watching everyone practicing swordsmanship.
How does it feel?"
Li Mu said: "It is dense and dense, with far-reaching meaning. It is very extraordinary."
"But the disciple did come here accidentally just now. He didn't mean to watch the senior fellow apprentices practicing swordsmanship."
In the world of martial arts, sectarian opinions are still very important. It is not good to watch disciples of other sects practice without consent.
Master Dingyi was more grand than he imagined. He waved his hand and said: "The Five Mountains Sword Sect has the same Qi and branches. You can see it at a glance. You don't know the inner Qi movement method. It looks like the spirit but doesn't. Just write it down."
So what? Besides, it is common for our Wuyue Sword Sect to exchange swordsmanship. Now that you are here, how can you come back empty-handed? Most of the disciples in this martial arts field are not good at martial arts. You come with me!" He said and turned around!
Just head away.
Li Mu was also curious about where Master Dingyi was taking him, so he smiled and followed behind.
…
Guo Xi, a painter of the Northern Song Dynasty, said: "Mount Tai is like sitting, Mount Hua is like standing, Mount Song is like lying down, and Mount Heng is like walking." It is true.
Li Mu followed Master Dingyi for three to five hundred feet, and saw the beautiful scenery nearby, surrounded by mountains and rivers. He passed through a bamboo forest and walked to a grassland with streams surrounding it. The environment was quiet and elegant. It was really a place for martial arts training.
A great place.
At this time, more than 20 female nuns were practicing in the field. When they saw Master Dingyi, they all stopped to bow. Master Dingyi bowed to everyone in return and shouted: "Yiyun, follow me!" Then there was a double
The ten-year-old nun followed.
When they arrived at an open space, Dingyi slowly pointed at Yiyun and said, "This is your senior sister Yiyun."
Li Mu cupped his hands and said, "I've met Senior Sister Yiyun!"
Yiyun returned the courtesy and said, "I've met my junior brother!"
Dingyi pointed at Li Mu and said: "This is your junior brother from the Huashan sect. He is here to travel and you two can compete. However, he is still young and you have some sense of caution. Don't hurt your junior brother."
Although Master Dingyi said this with good intentions, she really didn't take Li Mu's martial arts into consideration!
After all, he was young, so it was normal for him to be looked down upon by others. He didn't care and turned around to look at Yiyun.
All I saw was a round oval face, pure white, soft and thin skin, and long and picturesque eyebrows. It is a pity that someone so elegant and beautiful has become a nun.
Of course, Li Mu only complained a few words in his mind. If the grumpy Master Dingyi next to him knew about it, he would probably be kicked off the mountain immediately.
The two stood opposite each other and saluted each other! With the sword in their hands, there was no movement for a while. Yi Yun opened his big eyes and looked at Li Mu doubtfully, wondering why this junior brother didn't take action.
Li Mu was also stunned for a moment. His own martial arts was much higher than that of his opponent. The two sides had a simple discussion, and there was no reason to strike first. At this time, seeing Yi Yun's eyes, he realized that he was now his junior brother, so it stands to reason that he should
Make the first move.
He was not a sloppy person. He drew his sword and thrust it out with a wave of green pine. The sword was as fast as a thunderbolt, and he was in front of Yiyun in an instant. The tip of the sword trembled slightly, covering the vital points of Yiyun's upper body.
Yiyun was shocked and used the "Flower Cluster" technique in Hengshan's secret skill "Ten Thousand Flowers Sword Technique". He saw long swords swaying, as if flowers were blooming, and a dense sound of long swords clashing came. Yiyun managed to block it
Got this trick.
The moment the two swords crossed each other, Li Mu tried out the skills of Senior Sister Yiyun. If he wanted to win, he only needed two or three moves.
However, after all, it was a competition, so he still had to save some face. Hengshan's swordsmanship was also quite exquisite, and he wanted to observe it.
After one move, Li Mu stopped attacking, and Yi Yun also knew that his martial arts skills were not as good as this junior brother's, but he was not discouraged at all. He was not polite either, and used the "bud ready to bloom" move, with the sword half concealed and half concealed, trying to welcome it but still shy.
The sharp edge seems to be flawless, and the direction pointed by the sword tip is also specious, making it impossible to figure out.
Li Mu was amazed when he saw it, and secretly sighed in his heart that the "Ten Thousand Flowers Sword Technique" was indeed well-deserved. The fire of this ceremony was still shallow, but it was so exquisite. If the outstanding disciples of Hengshan came to use it, it would be a different scene.
.
Li Mu's face was calm and calm, unhurried, as if he was strolling in the courtyard, swinging his long sword, and with one move, the clouds opened and the mist dispersed, and the move was completely broken.
