The light of the sword is like the moon reflecting on Kyushu

Chapter 1770: Sword Formation is Just Child’s Play for Me

The mountain road has eighteen bends, one after another.

There are many stone carvings on the road, all of which are masterpieces left by literati and poets of past dynasties.

Among them is "In response to the edict of Huangmen Wu Xianggong, inscribed on Shimen Cave" written by Zhao Zongru of the Tang Dynasty.

Enhui of Yibu surrendered and returned with Ronghan.

The road home is filled with beautiful flowers, and the riders are riding out of the important pass.

Look at the sun rising towards the sky and pass by the Shu Mountains through the clouds.

I will also add a touch of elegance and charm, which will be forever lost among the green rocks.

There is also the poem "Relying on the Elder Zhou Kuang to Beg for Tea from the Emperor" written by Meng Jiao of the Tang Dynasty.

The meaning of Tao should not be boring, and the mental illness should not be caused by sorrow.

The Mengming jade flowers are gone, and the Yue'ou lotus leaves are empty.

The Jinshui River has fresh colors, and the Shu Mountains are full of fragrant flowers.

The roots of the clouds have just turned green, and the seams are already turning red.

I once got it from a nobleman, and it was the same as the old poet.

Fortunately, I was able to receive it and save my body from this illness.

Of course, there are also "Sending Li Yu Back to Shu after His Imperial Examination" by Yao He of the Tang Dynasty, "Reflections on the Road to Shu" by Gao Pian of the Tang Dynasty, and "Song of Jincheng" by Wen Tingyun of the Tang Dynasty.

The most famous one is of course the poem by the great poet Du Fu, titled "Three Poems on the Journey from Langzhou to Shushan with My Wife".

He avoided bandits for ten years.

Unable to go to the south, I decided to travel to Xichuan.

Things are enslaved by water and the light is empty, while the soul is hurt by the silence of the mountain.

I have no one to rely on in my life, and everyone in my family is afraid of the road.

The long forest is covered with wind, and the feeling is still mysterious.

The clothes are slightly green and moist, and the horse neighs as it bites the green grass.

The plank road is hung at an angle to avoid the rocks, and the broken bridge is used to look for the stream.

When will the war end? I feel ashamed for my old wife.

The figures of people gradually appear and disappear, and people appear and disappear.

The servant talks among the bamboos, and the child calls into the clouds.

The turning of the stone scares away the evil spirits, and the striking of the bow knocks down the monkeys and shrews.

It really provides a laugh, as if to comfort those in dire straits.

Zeng Yong was a little surprised. "I didn't find any poems by Li Bai along the way. It feels a little strange."

Feng Jiuxiao asked: "Do you know the reason for destroying Brother Zhou?"

Liu Miezhou said: "I really don't know. Logically speaking, if they engraved Li Bai's poems, it would definitely add luster to the painting!"

Pang Shiwu said: "Li Bai is known as the Immortal Poet. Is it because they all want to become immortals that they dare not carve the immortals' poems?"

Chang Zijin laughed and said, "Brother Fifteen has a really rich imagination!"

Yuan Zishan smiled and said, "Not only is his imagination rich, but there is also a strong smell of conspiracy."

Chang Zijin said: "Yeah, he hasn't been in contact with anyone recently, how come he has become so gloomy?"

Pang Shiwu immediately said aggrievedly, "Hey, Sister Chang, stop it, stop it, I just said something casually and you guys are making a big deal out of it."

Suddenly, there was a sound of water in front. Big Wolf took two quick steps and turned the corner. The scene in front of him shocked him instantly!
A huge waterfall cascaded down from a mountain in front of us, about 300 feet high, and the rushing water column hit the rocks at the foot of the mountain, causing countless splashes and mist. The water flow eventually gathered into a stream and flowed into the deep valley.

Feng Jiuxiao and others soon caught up with Bigwood and discovered the waterfall.

Zeng Yong said with emotion: "Li Bai said that from a distance the waterfall hangs in front of the river. When I first read it, I was very puzzled. How could the waterfall hang in front of the river? My teacher told me that Li Bai always liked to exaggerate. He never stopped until his words shocked people. What he said about the road to Shu being harder than climbing to the sky, isn't that all exaggeration? But when I saw this scene today, I feel that Li Bai did not exaggerate. He wrote it very vividly. The waterfall looks like a white silk hanging on the mountain from a distance."

Erni also said: "Yes, the word 'hang' is very appropriate."

Pang Shiwu immediately hummed and said in a serious tone, "Not bad! Instead of using the word 'liu' or 'tang', I actually used the word 'gua'. It's very vivid, um, very vivid."

Zeng Yong looked at Pang Shiwu and suppressed his smile, "Hey, Brother Shiwu has really made a lot of progress recently."

Pang Shiwu was immediately elated, "That's it!"

Everyone laughed.

This time going up the mountain didn't feel like a mission to call for punishment, but more like a trip to enjoy the scenery and have fun.

There is another archway in front with four big characters inscribed on it: Purple Air Coming from the East!
Big Wolf asked, "What does Purple Air Coming from the East mean?"

Pang Shiwu said: "You already know these four words, why don't you understand their meaning? It means that the purple air comes from the east!"

Big Wolf shook his head and said, "Chinese culture is extensive and profound, how could it be so superficial, right, Mr. Feng?"

Feng Jiuxiao said, "There is indeed an allusion to the purple air coming from the east, which comes from the "Biographies of Immortals" written by a man named Liu Xiang during the Han Dynasty. The book records that when Laozi was traveling west through Hangu Pass, the pass commander Yin Xi observed purple air floating in the east and had a premonition that a saint would pass by. Not long after, Laozi rode a green ox to Hangu Pass, and Yin Xi asked Laozi to leave the "Tao Te Ching" before letting him go. From then on, the purple air coming from the east meant auspiciousness."

Big Wolf asked, "Laozi? Is Laozi the founder of Taoism?"

Feng Jiuxiao said: "Strictly speaking, Laozi is not the founder of Taoism."

"Isn't he the Supreme Lord?"

"The title of Taishang Laojun was bestowed by Zhang Daoling."

"Who is Zhang Daoling?"

“The founder of Taoism.”

"I don't quite understand this. I see many Taoist friends often chanting the words of the Supreme Lord Lao. I thought the Supreme Lord Lao was the founder of Taoism."

"Yes, Taishang Laojun is the founder of Taoism."

Big Wolf was a little confused for a moment, "What? Taishang Laojun is the founder of Taoism?"

Feng Jiuxiao said calmly: "Yes."

"Didn't you say that Taoism was founded by Zhang Daoling? How come it was also founded by Taishang Laojun?"

Chang Zijin suddenly laughed and said, "Zhang Daoling founded Taoism, taking Laozi's Tao Te Ching as its doctrine and revering Laozi as the Supreme Lord Lao. That is to say, after Laozi left Hangu Pass, people never saw him again. They all said that he became an immortal after leaving the pass, so the founder of Taoism is Zhang Daoling. Zhang Daoling told his disciples that he was Laozi's disciple from another life, and Laozi was the ancestor of Taoism. Do you understand what I mean?"

Big Wolf narrowed his eyes and thought for a while, "I think I can understand it now."

La Jiao was a little anxious at this time, "Don't you understand this? Just like Liu Bang founded the Han Dynasty and respected his father as the emperor, the son is the founder, and respecting his father as the ancestor, it is not difficult to understand!"

Big Wolf looked at Chili, "Who is Liu Bang?"

Chili immediately fell. After walking for a few more miles, we finally saw an open area.

It was as if a god had used his giant axe to chop across the mountainside, carving out a large piece of flat land.

It is about thirty meters long and twenty meters wide.

There were actually a lot of people standing on it.

Because this is the only way to reach the top of the mountain, and it is also the last checkpoint to the top of the mountain.

After passing this level, you will reach the core forbidden area of ​​Shushan Sect, Jianzun Hall.

Pang Shiwu looked at the huge crowd of people in front of him and immediately frowned.

The positions of these people were obviously in accordance with some kind of formation. Some were in groups of seven, some were in groups of five, and the smallest group was in groups of three, a total of seventy to eighty people.

What kind of formation is this? So many people? Pang Shiwu wondered in his heart.

Denglong Peak is the main peak, and seven disciples were sent out to form a sword formation called the Seven Star Formation. The leader of the formation is Master Lu's favorite disciple Qingjiezi.

He is at the forefront.

He was very nervous when he first received the order from the headmaster. He had been waiting outside the Sword Master Hall and knew that there was a big quarrel inside. It seemed that someone had broken into the mountain from below and that they had ill intentions, so he ordered the twelve peaks to fight the enemy together. This had not happened in Shushan for many years. Behind him was his junior fellow apprentice Qing Yangzi. When Qing Yangzi saw the man in white with a long sword hanging from his waist, he began to get nervous. He knew who the young man in white was. He prayed secretly that the young man would not notice anything unusual about him. A female disciple next to him seemed to sense something was wrong and could not help but secretly glance at him and whispered, "Senior brother, are you nervous?"

Qing Yangzi was startled, but pretended to be calm and said in a very low voice: "I'm not nervous!"

Junior sister Qing Lianzi was even more confused. She clearly heard the tremor in Qing Yangzi's voice. Although it was slight, she was extremely sensitive and could hear it naturally. Seeing that her senior brother did not admit it, she did not dare to ask again in public. She carefully looked at the nine people in front of her, trying to find some clues. The first person was definitely about eighteen or nineteen years old, but he gave people the feeling of being in his forties, very calm and mature, without a trace of youthful frivolity!
The young man in black on the left looks very tall and young, but he gives people a murderous feeling. Maybe it’s because of the two swords hanging on his waist?
The purple-robed man on the right actually has four swords hanging from his waist! Is he so arrogant? Is it an honor to have four swords hanging from one's waist in the martial arts world?
The tall man next to the man in purple had a gloomy face, as if everyone owed him money, but his eyes were also sharp and he looked like someone who was not easy to mess with!
The man next to the young man with two swords on his waist on the left was the most dazzling! He was actually a foreigner, with golden hair flying in the wind, a sculpture-like face with sharp edges and corners, and yellow pupils like the eyes of a beast, full of wildness. Qing Lianzi couldn't help but take a second look! She had never seen a man with such a strong masculine aura! Her heart seemed to beat violently inadvertently!

Qingjiezi's heart suddenly started beating faster!
He discovered that there were four women behind the men!
Each one is more beautiful than the other!
Especially the woman with a black veil on her face!

Although he couldn't see her face clearly, he was sure that the woman was absolutely the most beautiful woman in the world!

It was because the woman's movements were so swaying that it made people excited, not to mention her eyes were a breathtaking blue! They were as bright as gems, and as deep and mysterious as the sea. But when those eyes looked at him, he suddenly felt ashamed and dared not look at them! His heart was beating fast! The woman's beauty was too strong! Yes, strong! It was a kind of aggressive beauty that no one could resist!

Qing Lianzi finally managed to move his eyes away from the blond man and saw Chang Zijin in green! Qing Lianzi thought the green-dressed woman was very beautiful, but her beauty had a kind of "desperation" in it. It was very strange. At first glance, you couldn't see anything, but the woman's natural sensitivity allowed Qing Lianzi to feel that there was a kind of indifference and sadness in the eyes of the green-dressed woman. The colorful-dressed woman next to her looked like a beautiful girl from a small family, and didn't seem to be good at martial arts. The red-dressed girl next to her didn't look like a lady at first glance. Her eyes were rolling around, constantly looking at the disciples of Shushan, as if she saw a monkey in the mountain, and seemed a little excited. The woman next to her was veiled, so her appearance could not be seen clearly, but for some reason, Qing Lianzi thought this masked woman was the most beautiful, because she had the strongest femininity! Every gesture, every move, was full of charm! What is charm? The magic that confuses people!

Perhaps it was because they had telepathic connection, several Shushan disciples couldn't help but secretly glance at the people around them, just to see their reactions!

The initial nervousness is long gone, and now I have a different mindset!

Feng Jiuxiao sighed, "Have you seen enough?"

Qingjiezi was immediately shocked and asked loudly, "Who are you and why are you in the mountains?"

Feng Jiuxiao said: "We are just looking for someone, how can we ask him to go through the mountains?"

Qingjiezi asked, "Who are you looking for?"

Feng Jiuxiao said: "The head of Shushan Sect!"

"What do you want with him?"

"Why should I tell you?"

"This one……"

"If I'm a friend, let me go up the mountain. If I'm an enemy, use your flying sword to serve me! Right?"

Qingjiezi was stunned. "Since you know, then it's simple. Are you an enemy or a friend?"

Feng Jiuxiao found it a little funny and couldn't help but sneered: "I am a friend. Let us pass."

Seeing that the other party was smiling unkindly, Qingjiezi said solemnly, "How can we believe your words?"

Pang Shiwu suddenly took a step forward, and Qingjiezi instantly felt incredible pressure. His breathing became a little difficult, and he instinctively took a step back! He felt that this young man in black was very dangerous!
Pang Shiwu said, "Why is my elder brother laughing? I knew you were talking nonsense! I told you we are friends, but you still wouldn't let us pass. So, it doesn't matter whether we are enemies or friends, so don't do this useless thing in the future. Just tell me that if you want to pass through, leave money for passage, and I will understand and stop talking nonsense with you!"

Big Wolf said from behind: "Stop talking nonsense with them, tell them to get out of the way!"

Pang Shiwu looked at Feng Jiuxiao, "Brother, you said the time is too tight, let's just kill them!"

Feng Jiuxiao waved his hand to tell Pang Shiwu to calm down, then said to Qingjiezi: "I know you won't believe me, but I still want to remind you that I went up the mountain this time to track down the leader of the Demon Cult."

Qingjiezi frowned, "Tracking the Demon Cult leader? Are you saying that the Demon Cult leader has come to Mount Shu?"

"Not bad!"

"But we didn't find him going up the mountain? And he couldn't possibly come to Shushan? It is said that the Demon Sect's Azure Dragon recently underwent a tribulation, so he couldn't possibly leave the Demon Sect!"

"Qinglong is dead. He has left."

"what?"

"Don't ask any more questions. If you waste any more time, I'm afraid he'll run away again."

Someone among the Shushan disciples sneered, it was clearly a mocking laugh!

Pang Shiwu was immediately furious and glanced at the crowd, "Who? Stand up!"

Qingjiezi frowned and asked, "What do you want to do, sir?"

Pang Shiwu said word by word: "I want to ask him why he dares to laugh at my eldest brother!"

Feng Jiuxiao said calmly, "They suspect that I am bragging! Look at me, with my little arms and legs, I am so boastful that I dare to track down the leader of the evil cult that makes heroes all over the world tremble in fear. If this is not bragging, what is it?"

Pang Shiwu looked unhappy, "He doesn't know whether I'm bragging or not! Anyway, you have reminded them. Whoever dares to stop me will be an accomplice!" Pang Shiwu's murderous intention was determined and it was not easy to withdraw. He was eager to escalate the conflict. If he pissed off his eldest brother and said, "You can handle it yourself", he would immediately rush into the Shushan formation!
Feng Jiuxiao said: "The Demon Lord's body has been destroyed, but he used the movement method to search for a suitable furnace to prepare for resurrection. If I am not wrong, he has now occupied the body of your leader. This time he sent all of you elite disciples to stop me, just to use you to delay time. He is basically using you as a shield, a human shield, and cannon fodder!"

Qing Jiezi couldn't believe what Feng Jiuxiao said, "You said that the soul of the Demon Lord has taken over the body of our leader? How is this possible?"

Feng Jiuxiao said patiently: "Whether it is true or not, we will know after we take a look, right?"

Suddenly someone among the Shushan disciples said, "We can't let them go to the headquarters. They must have some ulterior motive!"

Someone else echoed, "Yes, even if the moving technique is true, our disciples have never been to the Demon City. How could the Demon Lord's spirit use the flesh of Shushan disciples to go up the mountain? Their origin is suspicious, we must not let them go up the mountain!"

Feng Jiuxiao's face was a little gloomy, "Who was talking just now?"

Qingjiezi frowned and said, "Are you trying to intimidate us? No matter who said it, it is our opinion! Please go down the mountain!"

At this time, someone said, "They killed our Shushan disciples and destroyed our bamboo forest formation. How can we let them go down the mountain? A soldier can be killed, but not humiliated! Go! Draw your swords!"

A flash of lightning shot into the sky!
Then, several long swords flew into the air!

"Brother Qingjiezi, they are here to deal with your master. Why are you so foolish as to let them go? Hurry up and do it!"

When Qing Jiezi heard this, his eyes immediately lit up, as if he came to his senses. He looked at Feng Jiuxiao and said, "You are spreading evil words to confuse the people. You are destroying the reputation of Shushan, killing my fellow disciples, and destroying my bamboo forest... unsheathe!" The long sword behind him instantly flew into the air!
Big Wolf suddenly rushed towards the crowd!

The Shushan disciples naturally would not give the other side a chance for close combat and immediately dispersed!

Big Wolf didn't expect that none of the other side could fight, and they all ran away!
Just as he was in a trance, countless long swords flew into the air from the surrounding ground!

Feng Jiuxiao looked back at Yuan Zishan and the others. Yuan Zishan said, "I will protect La Jiao, and Sister Chang will protect Er Ni. Don't worry about this!"

Feng Jiuxiao nodded, then looked at Qingjiezi who had retreated dozens of feet away, and smiled, "Your sword formation is nothing but child's play to me!"

Thank you Yudong for your strong support and encouragement!
