Strange Sequence: Longevity from Guoshu

Chapter 277 The melody is like the invisible seven strings of a sword, and the thunderwood harp is deep in the mountains and empty (Happy Mid-Autumn Festival everyone!)

After leaving the Emei Sect on a donkey, Jiang You followed the stream for thirty or forty miles. The terrain began to become flat, and the stream merged into a large lake.

The lake is extremely wide. When you look up, the water and the sky meet. The lake is crystal clear. You can see that the bottom of the lake is covered with soft sand. The surface of the lake is like a mirror, peacefully reflecting the blue sky and white clouds. As you get closer, you can hear the lapping of the lake water. The sound of stones on the shore.

There are rows of green trees beside the lake, like a green ribbon, tied where the mountains and the lake meet. Jiang You rode a donkey along the lake, looking at the scenery of the lake, mountains and wild flowers blooming in the middle of the green forest, and feeling A beauty of solitude and tranquility.

Just as he walked not far by the lake, he suddenly found a small boat appearing in the lake in front of him. A man wearing a raincoat and a bamboo hat was sitting on the small boat fishing.

The lake water reflects the white clouds in the sky under the boat. From a distance, it looks like this man is in the clouds in the sky, fishing in the world.

After Jiang You saw such a scene, his first reaction was to be suddenly startled. He had not noticed any movement of this person before. There was no breathing or heartbeat. After he got closer, his spiritual consciousness checked, but there was nothing there, only It can be seen with the naked eye.

Jiang You patted the donkey's forehead as it sat down, signaling it to run away if something went wrong.

The donkey has been serving delicious food and drinks in the Emei Mountain for the past few days. In addition, it has the breathing technique. It has made great progress by practicing in Emei, a place with rich spiritual energy. In addition to growing meat, it also has spiritual intelligence. There was also an increase. Just now, Jiang You felt the muscles on his back tighten suddenly, and then he patted his head, already understanding the meaning.

As the four hooves clicked, they began to slowly build up strength.

Jiang You stared at the boat in the lake and found that it did not respond to his arrival, so he walked over without saying a word.

"I can't tell whether this is a human being or something weird. As far as this hand is used to shield myself from detection, my strength will definitely not be lower than mine. It's good to be able to walk through it peacefully like this!"

After Jiang You passed by, the donkey began to slowly increase its speed. Jiang You would look back from time to time to see what was going on behind him.

As the distance between the two became farther and farther, the boat turned into a black shadow, and suddenly the black shadow disappeared under Jiang You's gaze.

It disappeared without a sound, as if it had never appeared before. The donkey disappeared with the boat behind it and stopped suddenly.

"No, something happened!"

Jiang You knew in his heart that his donkey would not stop for no reason. There must be movement ahead.

He quickly turned his head and saw that just three meters away from him, the small boat had appeared and was leaning against the lake, but the man fishing in the small boat had disappeared.

"The poor are polite!"

An old voice came from beside Jiang You. Jiang You looked to the side and saw the angler appearing beside the donkey at some point.

The donkey was also frightened by the sudden appearance of a person next to him, and the donkey brayed.

When Jiang You heard this person's voice, he realized that this person was not weird, and he felt half relaxed.

He got off the donkey and saluted the visitor.

"Taoist Priest, I don't know what's going on!"

"I don't have anything else to do. I just want to ask Donor Jiang, why do you despise me, Qingcheng, so much?"

"Oh? The Taoist priest is from Qingcheng?"

"Qingxuan, a poor man, is the leader of this generation of Qingcheng Mountain. He came here the next day just to ask Young Master Jiang personally why he only went to Emei to learn swordsmanship and ignored Qingcheng. He felt that Qingcheng could not afford a sword. A Qi realm technique?"

When Qingxuan said this, his lowered eyes suddenly opened, and a green light shot towards Jiang You. Jiang You suddenly felt that he was being seen thoroughly inside and out, and thought to himself, "I have been exposed." When you were investigating, it turned out to be this way, no wonder it’s so easy to attract hatred!”

This person turned out to be the contemporary leader of the Qingcheng Sect. As soon as he left Emei, he was blocked by the leader of Qingcheng. Is he so popular in Shu?

Jiang You's heart moved, "It turns out it's because of the cooperation between Yama and Emei. Seeing that Emei and Yama are on the line, Qingcheng can't sit still!"

"The Taoist priest is so generous, it's really Jiang You"

"Hey, you old bastard, how dare you insult my distinguished guests in front of my Emei Gate!"

Just when Jiang You was about to explain, Zhou Zhengfeng shouted loudly from behind, and Jiang You felt a huge and sharp sword energy coming quickly from behind. This sharp feeling can even be felt by the soul. I felt a twinge.

Immediately, a rich purple light flew in, and after dissipating in the sky, Zhou Zhengfeng's figure was revealed.

After Zhou Zhengfeng sent Jiang You away, he actually kept watching him with his spiritual consciousness. When Qingxuan appeared, he didn't even notice it with his spiritual consciousness, but his sword heart suddenly jumped, and he knew that Qingxuan's appearance was within a hundred miles. Within, someone appeared who was not weaker than himself in swordsmanship. Who else could this person be besides that old bastard in Qingcheng?

The Qingcheng Sect is a sect of swordsmanship and air sect that is as famous as Emei. The strength of its leaders is also similar. The two sects are not far apart. They have been familiar with each other since ancient times. However, because of the close distance, there are conflicts of interest. Young, the relationship is delicate. When a strong enemy invades, the two factions watch each other. When there is no outside, the two factions fight with each other endlessly. It can be said that they are a pair of enemies who love and kill each other.

At this time, Zhou Zhengfeng's white beard was trembling, "Young Master Jiang and our Gong Jianqiu are familiar with each other. I want you, a talkative donkey, to come over and bray again!"

Zhou Zhengfeng was a very rude person and would curse when he came up. The donkey could understand people's words at this time. After hearing this, although he was very dissatisfied, donkey, I'm looking for you to mess with you, but he didn't dare to bark.

"You old beast, how dare you insult Young Master Jiang like this? The head of Emei this generation is different from the previous heads. He is a treacherous villain. When dealing with him, be careful of being plotted by him!"

"Bah, I am a gentleman, you who are gossiping behind your back are the villains!"

"Whatever happened behind the scenes, Pindao said it to his face!"

Jiang You saw that these two old men were about the same age as Fifth Master and Jiang Tianci, but they both had extremely hot tempers. He thought to himself that these swordsmen didn't seem to have very good tempers.

"Young Master Jiang, you don't have to pay attention to this talkative donkey. Just leave. I think he still dares to pester you!"

"Old beast, you're looking for death!"

Qingwei was insulted twice by Zhou Zhengfeng, and she could no longer hold back her anger. Immediately, her body turned into a dazzling blue light and rushed directly towards Zhou Zhengfeng.

"I'm afraid you won't succeed!"

Zhou Zhengfeng was not afraid at all and stepped forward to greet him.

Jiang You saw two rays of sword light, one green and one purple, constantly intertwining and colliding in the air in front of him. Both of them seemed to be worried about Jiang You's existence, and both restrained themselves, fearing that the aftermath of the battle would make Jiang You unable to survive, but that was it, as the sky continued to follow The two lights collided and entwined, and thin black lines continued to appear.

Jiang You recognized it immediately when he saw the black thin line. It was a spatial crack where the space was cut open. Jiang You's strength at this time could only disturb the space, but as soon as these two people took action, they directly cut the space open. , this is still the result of great restraint, the strength is really terrifying and makes people feel numb!

Jiang You was completely relieved after discovering the true purpose of Qingxuan's coming. Later, Zhou Zhengfeng arrived and the two of them fought together. He just watched from the sidelines. Anyway, they had to cooperate with Yan Luo later. The two of them fought more and more fiercely. The more powerful it is, the more benefits you can get from it, and you can also take a look at the methods of the current airbender masters to see if you can get some inspiration.

But the battle between the two has gone beyond Jiang You's previous knowledge. Tongyou used it to the extreme, and all he could see was two sword lights, and the others could not be seen at all. Moreover, after staring for a long time, his eyes were still It will be affected by the sword intention, and there will be a stinging feeling.

The blue sky was like a curtain at this time. As the two sword lights flew by, one hole after another was continuously made on it.

The battle between the two was silent, but if anyone thought that this battle was not powerful and wanted to get involved, their body and soul could be annihilated by any crack in the space.

Finally, the two sword lights separated, Zhou Zhengfeng and Qingxuan stood on both sides of the sky, and the dense cracks in the space where they were slashed gradually healed.

Just when Jiang You thought that the two of them were about the same, he saw Qingxuan suddenly point his hand towards the sky, and suddenly a cyan air sword fell rapidly in front of him from high in the sky, and then there were continuous cyan air swords in the sky behind him. It falls like a heavy rain.

"Qingyun Sword Domain!"

"You are the only one who has the sword domain, right?"

Zhou Zhengfeng sneered, and a small purple sword lit up between his eyebrows. Then the small sword flew out directly from his eyebrows, and a purple sword of energy spread out around him in a circle under his feet. Then outside the circle, sword energy continued to appear. Appeared and quickly spread the area of ​​​​the circle to half the sky.

"Demon-Slaying Sword Domain!"

At this time, if you look at the entire sky, you will see all figures of swords, half of which are cyan and half of which are purple.

With the use of the two sword realms, Jiang You found that his demon-slaying sword energy was suppressed to the extreme at this time. Even the sequence text turned into a gray color, and the Shengxie Sword behind him kept screaming, as if resisting the opponent from the sword realm. his influence.

The flowers, plants and trees under the feet are also under the influence of the sword domain. They seem to be assimilated into swords, emitting sharp Gengjin energy. The wind is also a sword, the water is also a sword, and even the air you breathe has become a sword. In the sword domain, There is nothing else except the sword.

At this time, Jiang You's body was constantly being invaded unconsciously by the sword energy. The horizontal training techniques, force-removing network, pure Yang, and tenacity magical powers were all broken through layer by layer, leaving one sword-like stab after another on Jiang You's body. Little red dot.

This was the damage he suffered when he was affected by the sword field. Jiang You couldn't even imagine what kind of scene he would face if the sword field fully activated him.

Jiang You's changes fell into the eyes of the two people in the sky.

Zhou Zhengfeng frowned, "Qingxuan, that's it for today. We'll make an appointment for a showdown tomorrow. Don't let the matter between you and me affect Young Master Jiang!"

"Hmph, it's you who disrupted the situation again. Originally, I wanted to negotiate with Young Master Jiang about the Righteous Alliance!" "The matter of the Zhongrighteous Alliance in Shu Province is now handled by Emei. Just talk to me!"

"What do I have to talk about with you?"

The two of them withdrew their respective sword domains. Qingxuan clasped his fists at Jiang You and said, "Young Master Jiang, our Qingcheng faction wants to join the Righteous Alliance, and we hope that Young Master Jiang can pull the strings for this!"

"Oh, as Master Zhou said, the affairs of the Righteous Alliance have been handed over to the Emei Sect with full authority. How can Jiang You regret the document he just signed?"

Qingxuan waved his hand, and a ray of green light flew in front of Jiang You. It was a linear sword manual, "I have offended many people before, so I treat this "Seven-String Invisible Sword" as an apology. I hope Young Master Jiang doesn't want it." mind!"

Jiang You put the sword manual away and thought to himself: "Although this Qingxuan has a bad temper, he is still a good man!" Then he changed his tone and said, "Master Zhou, look, what should we do?"

Zhou Zhengfeng cursed the little fox in his heart and asked me, "I received the gift faster than anyone else!"
"We have reached an agreement on this matter and will give Young Master Jiang an answer later!"

"That's good, that's good. Qingcheng and Emei have been friends for generations, but don't let this matter hurt our friendship!"

The two fell from the sky and negotiated on their own in the forest. They came out without letting Jiang You wait for long. The answer they gave was that Emei and Qingcheng would join the Righteous Alliance under the name of Shushan Sword Sect, and the subsequent cooperation matters The interests given by Emei to Yama remain unchanged, and they coordinate the rest on their own.

Afterwards, Qingxuan once again apologized to Jiang You, telling him that the next time Jiang You came to visit, he would definitely go to Qingcheng as a guest, and Qingcheng would treat each other like strangers.

Jiang You also said that he would do it next time, and then said that for the subsequent document signing, he could directly negotiate with Yama Luo's personnel.

After Jiang You said goodbye to the two of them, the matter finally came to an end.

Jiang You was riding on the donkey thinking about what had just happened. Qingcheng and Emei were both in Shu, and their base was so large. As Emei's strength increased, it would inevitably encroach on Qingcheng's interests, so when Emei took the lead in making changes , Qingcheng couldn't sit still anymore, and had to change accordingly.

Emei and Qingcheng have been fighting for so long. As the head of Emei, Zhou Zhengfeng will ignore this matter. Does he want to use this matter to force Qingcheng to cancel the mountain closure?

Then the reason must be the real reason for the mountain closure. After Emei lifted the mountain closure, he must have taken some risks. Emei was unwilling to bear this risk alone, so he dragged Qingcheng into the water and went into this mess with them. water.

Qingxuan had two choices before him. One was to continue to seal the mountain and ignore Emei, but he wanted to see Emei become bigger in Shu.The second is to take the initiative to enter the game, develop together with Emei, and take the unknown risks together.

In the end, Qingxuan chose the second option, but this feeling of being plotted would definitely make people unhappy. This is why Qingxuan became so angry when he arrived.

In fact, Qingxuan himself still thought of a way to break the situation. Just like what he did, when he met Jiang You, he used personal force to shock him first, and then found a reason to look down on Qingcheng to question Jiang You. After taking the lead, he then Reaching a private cooperation with Jiang You to avoid Emei, even if it gives more benefits to the Yama Branch.

Who would have known that Zhou Zhengfeng kept a close eye on him and rushed over as soon as he noticed something was going wrong. He immediately started to find trouble with Qingxuan, muddying the waters and forcing Qingxuan to accept the choice he had reserved for him.

From Qingxuan's initiative to release the sword domain, it can be seen that Qingxuan was indeed impressed by Zhou Zhengfeng, but he lost the opportunity and could only be controlled by others, so he had to give in and let Zhou Zhengfeng get his wish.

I'm afraid that the Shushan Sword Sect is also part of Zhou Zhengfeng's plan.

Jiang You thought in his mind, what kind of thing is it that makes big sects like Qingcheng and Emei so afraid? There must be something big involved!
After Jiang You thought about it clearly, he made up his mind even more. After a thorough investigation in Shu, he didn't believe it. He couldn't find any clues!

The first stop of the river tour is Leshan. Leshan is most famous for the Leshan Giant Buddha.

In ancient times, Leshan was located at the confluence of three rivers. The Minjiang River, Qingyi River, and Dadu River converged at the foot of Lingyun Mountain. The water was so fierce that boats were often overturned at this point.During summer floods, the river flows directly into the mountain walls, often causing tragedies of shipwrecks and fatalities.

Zen Master Haitong, a monk from the Tang Dynasty, initiated and mobilized manpower and material resources to build and chisel the giant Buddha in order to reduce the power of the flood and save all living beings.

Leshan Giant Buddha, also known as Lingyun Giant Buddha, is a seated statue of Maitreya Buddha. It is 71 meters high and is as big as the hills on both sides. It sits facing the river and has become a well-known landmark in ancient and modern times.

After the spiritual energy recovered, Jiang You thought to himself that there was no guarantee that this giant Buddha would have any miracles if the incense was enshrined there. Even if there was no such thing as Emei Qingcheng, he would still go and see it.

Jiang You got a map from Zhou Zhengfeng in Emei.

After the land grew and the mountains and rivers changed, the original map could only let people know a rough direction. This map was drawn by himself relying on his own strength.

This map alone is worth more than a thousand gold.

The map is not very detailed. It mainly covers the area in southern Sichuan. It is Zhou Zhengfeng's rough survey of the strange situations around Emei.

It is marked with forbidden areas and desperate areas. The forbidden areas are dangerous areas when entering the Sword Qi Realm, and the desperate areas are areas where he himself would have to take a detour at the time and would not dare to take risks easily.

Jiang You found the location of LS City, which was close to a deserted place.

After Jiangyou had a clear idea of ​​the journey, he followed the map to Leshan first. When he arrived, he asked the locals for the location of the Giant Buddha.

Jiang You started on his way on his donkey. While Sheng Xie Sword was still being cultivated, he could also practice while riding on his donkey, which was much better than if he had gone on foot.

At this time, the donkey also gradually appeared strange, as if it had awakened a magical power. When it was rushing, white air wrapped around its hooves. While the speed was not slow, it was also extremely stable, without shaking at all. Jiang You was also on the road. Let's start watching the "Seven-stringed Invisible Sword" that Qingxuan gave to himself.

"Seven-stringed Invisible Sword" is also a sword-qi realm skill, but after Jiang You read it, he found it to be much higher level than "Qiushui Sword". This sword uses music to enter the sword, and the subsequent sword-qi is also derived from music. After understanding it, it is a little less restrictive than Qiushui's technique, which requires the help of heaven and earth.

The seven strings refer to the guqin.

Guqin, also known as Yaoqin, Yuqin and Lyre, is a traditional Chinese plucked string instrument with a history of more than 3000 years. It is one of the eight tones.

Ancient books record that Fu Xi made a qin, and there are also legends about Shennong making a qin, Huangdi making a qin, and Tang Yao making a qin. Shun decided that the qin should have five strings, King Wen added one string, and King Wu added another string to make it seven strings when he conquered Zhou. Only then did he finally settle on seven strings. string.

Because the sound of the piano enters the sword, the sword score does not talk about the sword at the beginning, but talks about the sound of the piano first.

First of all, it explains its orthodox status. The sound of the piano is called "the sound of ancient times" and "the sound of heaven and earth" by sword music, which coincides with the principles of heaven and earth. Therefore, entering the sword is also the authentic Taoist school, not a side sect.

There are seven scattered tones, 91 overtones and 140 pressed tones. The loose tones are loose and distant, reminding people of ancient times; their overtones are like the sound of nature, giving them a cool and fairy-like feeling; the pressed tones are very rich. , the lingering rhyme of the chanting under the fingers is subtle and long. Sometimes it is like human speech, which can be used for conversation. Sometimes it is like the mood of people's hearts, ethereal and changeable.The overtones are like the sky, the pressed notes are like human beings, and the loose notes are like the earth. They are called the three sounds of heaven, earth and people, which can describe human feelings and thoughts, and can also express the principles of heaven, earth and the universe.

The seven strings correspond to the seven notes: Gong, Shang, Jiao, Zheng, Yu, Bian Gong, and Bian Zheng.

To practice this sword, you need to master the music first, learn to play the piano first, and then use the music as a sword.

Jiang You's tooth hurts from seeing it, why is this technique so troublesome!But when I think about it, after all, the level is higher than "Autumn Water Sword", so it's troublesome. Anyway, as a craft, music is faster to practice by yourself, and it doesn't take much effort.

Jiang You didn't have a guqin at hand, but the sword manual also thoughtfully recorded how to make a guqin.

Jiang You also directly uses local materials.

The lightning used for wood struck wood. At this time, Jiang You accidentally discovered a towering ancient tree in the mountains. When he turned into a demon again, it attracted thunder from the sky, and his body failed to survive the disaster.

Thunder, fire and wood are incompatible with each other. Compared with other flesh and blood creatures, this plant demon is still many times more difficult, but it is just cheap.

Qinxian Jiangyou directly killed a powerful monster and pulled out its big tendons to use as the strings.

There are many different styles of guqin, and the sword manual directly states the required sword style.

According to the requirements of the sword manual, Jiang You arranged the head of the instrument, the emblem of the instrument, the Zhenzi, the Zhenchi, the guard Zhen, the velvet buckle, the tail of the instrument, the bottom of the instrument, the dragon pond, the phoenix marsh, and the wild goose feet.All done.

A blackened guqin was completed.

After Jiang You finished making it, he placed the guqin directly on the donkey's neck. The donkey felt uncomfortable and shook its head. Jiang You slapped it and it calmed down.

Immediately, the sound of the piano could be heard in the mountains and forests.

At first, the sound of the piano was chaotic and disorderly, just like a child playing with it. But after a while, the sound of the piano gradually began to have rhythm and rhythm.

The piano score given to Jiang You in the sword score is called "Taikou Yiyin". The tune is the most elegant and elegant, which is suitable for people to cultivate their moral integrity.

Jiang You quickly mastered all the pieces in the piano score by relying on his mental strength and extraordinary control of his muscles.

They saw Jiang You sitting on the back of a donkey, using various finger techniques on his hands freely, and the faint sound of the piano flowed out from his fingertips like spring water.

The sound of the piano is light, loose, crisp, smooth, high, clean, clear, empty, quiet, strange, ancient, dull, medium, harmonious, fast, and slow.

In just one day, Jiang You has become a master of Guqin. Only ordinary people who practice for a lifetime have the chance to reach this level.

After Jiang You reaches the pinnacle of music, he can now practice swordsmanship!
"The sound of the piano turns into a sword, disappearing without a trace, killing people invisibly, how interesting it is!"
