After Yue Buqun and his party returned to Huashan, the previous peace on the mountain was completely broken.
No matter how weak Huashan's foundation was, Yue Buqun defeated Zuo Lengchan openly and with strength and became one of the top masters in the world. His two disciples are also the top among the younger generation.
There are both new and old, and although the foundation is still weak and the disciples are still few, this is an opportunity for many people.
Fewer people means less fierce competition. Huashan’s potential is obvious. If we don’t join in now, it will be much later.
As a result, small and medium-sized forces from Guanzhong, Hanzhong and several nearby provinces came to Huashan to pay homage to Yue Buqun.
There are also many small forces who bring their younger members of the family and come directly to become their disciples to deepen their relationship with Huashan.
So for more than a month, Huashan Mountain was busy with traffic and people coming and going, and it was difficult to calm down.
Needless to say, the harvest was great. Looking at the congratulatory gifts from several warehouses and the gift of more than 200,000 taels of silver, Yue Buqun felt inexplicable.
I couldn't sleep at night, so I walked out of the house and looked up at the stars. Thinking of the past, I felt like I was in another world.
"Master, I have lived up to your great trust. Huashan... Huashan... has finally risen. I will definitely restore Huashan to its former glory." When he said this, Yue Buqun's eyes were firm, but the corners of his eyes were moist. Huashan was in his hands.
The revival has finally begun.
His Yue Buqun is worthy of the ancestors of Huashan.
After more than a month of turmoil, the number of people who came to pay homage to the mountain was finally reduced. The people on Mount Huashan were finally free to work on a big thing, opening the mountain and recruiting disciples.
The biggest shortcoming of Huashan at present is its weak foundation. Why is it so weak? Because there are too few people.
Today's Huashan, its prestige and status are supported by a few masters. It is weak in all aspects and needs a large number of disciples to fill it in and strengthen its foundation.
However, it is not easy to recruit disciples. On the one hand, one must have a clean financial background, and one must also have certain martial arts qualifications.
It is too inefficient to only select from those who take the initiative to come to Huashan to be apprentices. Only how many people can be recruited in a year.
Li Mu came up with an idea. In the Ming Dynasty, every prefecture and county had almshouses to take in orphans and elderly people. The number of orphans taken in across the country totaled tens of thousands.
In addition, there are many people selling children and girls nowadays, so if you meet someone with suitable qualifications, it doesn't hurt to buy them.
If these homeless people are well trained in the future, they will become die-hard loyalists of the sect.
Yue Buqun obviously listened. As the leader of the Five Mountains Alliance, everyone still gives him face when doing things outside.
In addition, he himself is also one of the few top masters in the world. Now there is no shortage of money in Huashan. Li Mu also asked the Fuwei Escort Agency to assist him. Although Huashan was busy all over the place, things went smoothly.
It took half a year for Huashan to select more than 600 young people aged five to twelve years old with good qualifications from tens of thousands of orphans and send them back to Huashan.
Through purchasing, more than 100 young people who met the qualifications were also selected and sent back to Huashan.
Halfway up the mountainside of Huashan, a huge school building was also built, and many teachers were invited. These orphans will receive several years of cultural education and basic martial arts education here.
Give Huashan ten years and wait for more than 800 young people to grow up. Only then can Huashan truly regain its former glory and become one of the top sects in the world.
After being busy for a while, Li Mu realized that he was already twenty-two years old when he had some time off. Lin Zhennan and his wife had written a letter to urge him to get married a few days ago, saying that they wanted to introduce him to a certain family and how a young lady from a certain family could be virtuous.
Shude, gentle and generous.
Li Mu could only smile and decline.
The fifth level of Zixia Gong has gradually become perfect after three or four years of accumulation.
After being busy for such a long time, he was suddenly free. Li Mu's heart relaxed and he couldn't help wandering around Huashan.
On this day, he walked slowly along the trails in the mountains and forests. It was early summer, and there were lush forests and bamboos in the mountains, exotic flowers and grasses, and fragrance from all seasons. The scenery was extremely beautiful.
After walking around in the mountains and forests for most of the day, the sun was setting in the west. The setting sun was like blood, and the sunset was shining on the horizon, bathing the mountains. As I was walking, I suddenly saw the Chaoyang Peak in front of me. Under the sunset, it was dyed with a green color.
Layers of gold, dazzling.
An impulse suddenly arose in Li Mu's heart, and he wanted to go to Chaoyang Peak to watch the afterglow of the setting sun. As soon as he thought of it, he suddenly stopped, and the next moment he tiptoed to the ground and flew up.
Facing the steep mountain peaks, they either stand on the ground with their feet or climb vines with their hands, climbing high and leaping with a graceful attitude.
In the end, there were still four or five feet away from the top of the mountain. Li Mu tapped his toes on the mountain wall and suddenly floated up. When he was at the end of his momentum, he flicked his sleeves and took five consecutive steps in the air, as if he was under his feet.
There is a ladder to heaven. Shi Shiran floats across the top of the mountain, and then takes another step, like a leaf falling lightly and silently. This is the "Ladder to Heaven" of Huashan Mountain.
The view from the top of the peak is wide, and at a glance, you can see the lush greenery, thousands of miles in radius, and everything in front of you.
Li Mu dusted his sleeves and was silent for a moment, watching the soft afterglow falling layer by layer on the horizon. The clouds reflected the setting sun, and the horizon was so red that the trees were dyed with the rays of light. A breeze blew by, and the leaves fell.
Dancing in the wind, an indescribable feeling arose spontaneously in Li Mu's heart.
He vaguely realized something, and when he heard the sound of a sword, he suddenly pulled out his long sword and practiced the Huashan's entry-level sword techniques one by one. This entry-level swordsmanship has a total of thirty-six styles, which is the basis of all Huashan's sword techniques.
, seems simple and easy to understand, but is actually profound and profound.
I saw him making every move, every move, neither hasty nor slow, smooth and transparent. Between approaching, retreating and avoiding, his sword intent was continuous and continuous.
After finishing a set of introductory sword techniques, Li Mu did not stop. His sword moves changed, and another set of "Iron Wire Sword Style" was launched.
I saw his wrist flicking, and he stabbed out with a fierce sword. The long sword made a clear buzzing sound and flashed a cold light. When the sword was used, he dragged his wrist and the sword spun back along a half arc. And then it was still there.
It was a sword thrust out, the long sword drew a long arc in the air, and then spun back.
One sword after another, the long sword seemed to be wrapped around the fingers. Each sword was thrust out in an arc and retracted in an arc. He drew the sword faster and faster, and in an instant, it buzzed through the air.
The sound was endless, and the long sword left pieces of remnants in the air, like iron wires.
The sword moves are random and straight, changing without any reason, and are exquisite and extraordinary.
After Li Mu finished one set of sword techniques, he then changed to another set of sword techniques. He continued to practice like this. He suddenly took a deep breath and was silent for a moment, looking at the mountains in the distance, the water flowing in the water, and the sky full of purple clouds.
His mind was immersed in it, and he vaguely felt that Zixia Gong was touched, and the sixth level seemed to be very close at hand.
Li Mu was overjoyed. After cultivating Zixia Gong to the fifth level, he had entered the advanced realm of this skill. It became increasingly difficult to break through. Blindly practicing hard was no longer an option. The only option was "enlightenment".
