The Legend of Shushan Swordsman

Chapter 41 Qiongsou Yanjian waved his sword and swayed the Milky Way straight up to the sky and stepped on the clouds to pop Zihao

It was already late at night when Monk Xiao and Jin Chan flew to Mangcang Mountain, so they first found a forest to meditate and rest their minds.Soon Tianming got up, looked at the terrain, and was not satisfied.Fly in the air again, pay attention to observe the appropriate location.Although Monk Xiao passed by in the past, but the area of ​​the mountain is too large, the route is unfamiliar, and he flew to many places without any signs.Knowing that the mountain is too big, looking for the flying sword is like looking for a needle in a haystack.Afraid of making a mistake, I had no choice but to go down, first I found a cave to shelter, borrowed a female sword from Jin Chan, and learned the formula and usage.Ascetic Toutuo passed down, and the Emei swordsmanship had the same goal by different routes, and it could be used at that time.Although the thunderbolt sword is unusual, it is difficult to control for beginners, relying on Monk Xiao's kung fu is originally pure, at most five or seven days, he can use it proficiently, and he is a little relieved.He decided to practice this sword proficiently first, and then look for the flying sword left by the real man with long eyebrows.Jin Chan is a happy event in the end, because she knows that even if Ying Qiong saves her, she will come to steal Wen Yu, so she will never fail to meet.He passed the sword technique to Monk Xiao, and he practiced concentratingly in the cave, left the cave alone, and searched for Yingqiong's whereabouts everywhere.Because in the past, I heard Yingqiong say that she was carried to a big cave by a group of brown bears and apes, and that was the place where Wen Yu was buried. cave.Especially in that cave, according to mother Feijian's biography, there is a powerful demon inside, who is trying to swallow that piece of warm jade to himself, there must be signs of him, how can he look for it and miss it?He didn't know he was going in the wrong direction, he was in the south of the mountain, but the cave where Yingqiong used to live was in a valley in the north of the mountain, covered by dense forests, the path was very secluded and tortuous, and it was difficult to find it after passing through the place, not to mention It is looking for it in the sky with the light of a sword. Even if a pair of wise eyes can distinguish the light, it is difficult to turn and see through it. It has been searching until dark, but there is no trace.By the way, I picked some pine nuts, picked a dried gourd, hollowed it out with a sword, filled a gourd with mountain spring, and went back to the cave to eat with the laughing monk.

Early the next morning, I searched again.It seems that I have searched for three or four days like this, but I have not found them.He suddenly remembered that it was not easy for Yingqiong to steal Wenyu, and it would take some time and troubles before he could get it.Man said that she used the Ziying sword to fight the demons, and she would not be invisible. Even the eagle and the ape are huge monsters, so how could she not be seen?It must be lurking during the day and only doing it at night, maybe.Thinking of this, I decided to search again at night.

In the evening of that day, it happened that Monk Laughing had already practiced the thunderbolt sword skillfully. The two made an appointment to search together. From dusk until midnight, they suddenly saw a silver light in the distance to the northwest, as fast as a shooting star, heading straight to the valley in the north. Rifei dropped it.The laughing monk saw that the sword light was unusual, although he couldn't tell which sect it was from, it was definitely not owned by a pagan religion, so he was very surprised.He hurriedly drove the sword light, followed and flew there, and when he landed, he saw a wide cliff, facing a clear stream, surrounded by Chonggang, with dozens of big Nan trees sparsely growing, the ancient trunks supported the sky, and the ground was full of shade. The moon is as bright as water, and the light and shadow are floating. From time to time, there are three or four flying cranes returning to their nests, singing loudly, making the scenery more and more quiet.Searching for the whereabouts of the silver light, there is no trace.After waiting for a while, he didn't see him flying up again, so he was very puzzled.Guess he never went far, he must be hidden in the nearby cave.Although the matter has nothing to do with himself, because he saw that the silver light was upright but not evil, he was not from the same school, but also a fellow.This mountain has been occupied by monsters for a long time, if you have been cultivating here all the time, you will be in a dilemma; if you come here from other places, you will definitely do something.Feeling sorry for each other, I always want to find out a whereabouts, meet that person, and see who it is.

After looking around, I found a cave, which was very spacious and clean, and even the scenery outside was much better than the one I lived in a few days ago.So he decided to move here, so he searched for the whereabouts of that silver light.After the discussion, it was decided that they would go out of the cave together, fly up into the air, and observe from all around.At this time, the bright moon and few stars are still looming in the clouds, and the color of fish belly has appeared in the east.After a while, the sun rises and dawns, and the surrounding mountains are green and dyed. The snow on the top of the mountains in the distance turns into a thick purple against the morning glow. The empty mountains are silent, and there is silence everywhere.The two of them flew around for a while, but the silver light was still the dragon's head, and it didn't appear again.The strangest thing is that after searching for several days, there is no place like the scenery Yingqiong said at that time. Although sometimes I saw many tigers, leopards, wolves, wild deer and gazelle and other wild animals, I never met a gorilla. Bear.

Jin Chan was secretly surprised.At the end, I picked some mountain fruits and some clear springs, and turned around the cave, only to see the four ancient seal characters of "Aoqu Xianfu" in the moss on the rock wall outside the cave.Going into the cave and looking closely, the cave faces east and west, with no way out, and the stalactite necklaces on the four walls hang down like bead curtains.Although it is very neat and spacious, except for the beautiful scenery outside the cave, there is nothing special about it, which obviously does not match the title on the cave wall.I didn't care about it at the time, we sat down together and talked to each other.

The smiling monk said: "I didn't expect to see so carefully last night, and the distance is not too far. I didn't notice that silver light. I have really retreated more and more recently." Jin Chan said: "Who said it wasn't? Li Yingqiong Obviously in this mountain, I have searched for the past few days, but I have not found a shadow, which is really weird. Let's first look for the sword that the ancestor left behind." The laughing monk said: "People can't find it. There must be a magic talisman to block the mouth of the sword, and it is even more difficult to meet. I was in the air just now, and I saw that there are many places on this mountain that are very mysterious and mysterious. There are also extremely hidden places. Don't look at our caves to find it. It is clear at a glance, but it is difficult to find. There are still many days before we leave for Baiman Mountain. I borrowed your flying sword and I can use it. The ancient cave where warm jade is hidden. If you want to be like Ningbi Cliff, there is no cave, and even that treasured sword will be discovered by accident, maybe."

Hearing the words, Jin Chan suddenly thought of it and said: "When we first came out, my mother wrote that Yu Yingnan was lost in a wind hole in Shanyin. If Junior Sister Li has been there, there must be some traces to follow. For days, I thought that Yingnan and Sister She has been rescued by Junior Sister Li. She only paid attention to the ancient cave where the warm jade was hidden, but never thought of the wind cave. Although Mangcang Mountain is the place where Junior Sister Li used to travel, you think she was not enlightened at that time, and she was carried there by apes and bears , and then walked for many days before meeting us back to Emei. How can I remember the path along the way? She is guided by eagles and apes, so it is easy to find. We only imagined the situation, and I never thought of coming here. , I only know how to look for it on the south side of the mountain. This mountain has a radius of thousands of miles, so it is no wonder that it is difficult to find. As for the sword, it is said that Sanying will meet each other soon. Even if it cannot be obtained by you, it should be when it was born. Take a look in the Shanyin area, as long as you find the wind hole, you can always find some signs. What do you think?" The laughing monk heard the words and said yes, and the two got up and went out of the cave together. For obvious places, look for narrow and secluded cliff paths.

Let's do it and say that what we are talking about is all about the past and Yingqiong's sword.As soon as he walked to the place where he landed last night, Jin Chan's eyes were sharp, and he saw that there seemed to be a slit about a foot wide in the middle of the wide cliff at the back under the cover of the dense forest in Beishan. , each other.Unable to be moved by curiosity, he smiled at the monk and walked straight into the dense forest.Looking closer, the precipitous and high cliffs are still intact without gaps.If it is someone else, it must go back.Jin Chan was confident that she would not make a mistake, turned around abruptly, suddenly realized, and smiled back: "Here it is!" It turned out that the place where I was standing just now was a hillside, from the top to the bottom, at least twenty feet long.Those dense forests are all old trees with many years of age, hugging and towering, although they grow in clusters up and down, because they grow too densely, they cover the terrain, and they look flat from a distance, and seem to have no height.The crack in the rock was formed at the waist of the cliff, and the two of them lost their minds talking and laughing, so they were blindfolded for a while.When I looked back and looked at the road, the difference between the top and the bottom was very high. When I raised my head, I saw that the precipitous cliff supported the sky, and there was a narrow gap about ten feet long in the middle, and the width was no more than one foot. What I saw just now was a little sparse.Flying up to the gap, he looked inside and saw that it was an extremely deep, curved and narrow rock hole with a downward slope, and the situation was so dangerous that it was difficult for apes to fly through.At the end, it seems to see the light of the sky and the flickering shadows of flowers, knowing that there is a wonderland.Because they couldn't walk side by side, they drove the sword light forward and backward, and flew down the slope.When I got to a place with a bright sky, I saw that there was only a skylight, which reached the top of the cliff directly, and there was no wonderland in the middle, so I couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.The laughing monk was about to greet Jin Chan to go back, but Jin Chan still did not give up, and replied: "When we opened Ningbi Cliff in Emei, we also came to the end. It's dark and narrow, meaningless. If Li Yingqiong hadn't been there, and there were divine sculptures leading the way, I wouldn't have found the wonders of the Immortal Mansion. Anyway, it's okay, and it's the same if you look elsewhere. This rock hole is too weird, and you always have to find it , I just give up."

Just as he was talking, he suddenly saw a slightly wider place on the left, and there seemed to be silver lights shining among the vines on the wall.The laughing monk hurriedly gave Jin Chan a hand, and flew over quietly.Jin Chan had already seen some signs, so she stretched out her hand and lifted the vines on the wall, revealing a very narrow hole.A young man in white clothes with beautiful eyebrows and thick eyes, long and plump forehead, tall and tall, heroic, with a smile on his face, stood there.Before the two of them could speak, the young man asked, "Are you two fellows of Emei?" The two were delighted to see the upright expression on the young man's face.Jin Chan couldn't help but answered first: "It's Qi Jinchan, the son of the head teacher of Emei. This is one of the three immortals of the East China Sea, and a disciple of the ascetic Chan Master Xiao Monk. How do fellow Taoists know our origins?" The young man heard the words , Hastily bowed down and said: "It turns out to be two senior brothers. The younger brother is the grand-nephew of Master Yan, the abbot of Miaozhen Temple in Dongting Mountain, West Taihu Lake. His humble name is Yan Renying. He has recently worshiped under the Taoist Zui in Emei. By the order of his master, he came here to wait for one person." When he said that, his face blushed slightly, he paused for a while, and then said: "The man should come tomorrow, and secretly help her get the Qingsuo sword left by the real person with long eyebrows. After getting it, I will work with her again Go to help the senior sister Li Yingqiong mentioned by the two senior brothers just now, who stole Wen Yu together. When I came, the master said that the demon is powerful, even if the two senior sisters come together tomorrow, with the power of the two swords of Ziying and Qingsuo, they can only kill him Chasing away cannot be eliminated just like that. My younger brother is shallow and talented, and ordered to find a place here to hide and not to move rashly. That night, my younger brother also ventured to Beishan to explore. Sure enough, the demons are tightly arranged, and it is difficult to start. At that time, I saw A group of purple lights, guarding a big black eagle, flew eastward. The younger brother Jianguang is very conspicuous in the dark night, but fortunately the demon only chased the purple light, did not find the younger brother, did not dare to stay, and came back."

When Monk Xiao heard that he was the grand-nephew of Sword Immortal and Fairy Biwen, Master Yan who was of the same generation as Daoist Changmei, and that he was also a new disciple of Taoist Zui, who belonged to the same family, he was even more delighted and busy returning the gift.After listening, he replied: "The silver light that night, was it actually you? There is nothing real under the door. The two of us searched all night, but we didn't find it. I don't want to meet by chance. It's wonderful!" Jin Chan couldn't help clapping her hands with joy. .Ren Yingqian said: "Big compliments from the two senior brothers. I came here a few days ago and found this cave by accident. There are so many wonders inside that it is difficult for outsiders to find it. This morning, a corridor was found, leading directly to a cave next to the demon cave. In the cave of the ancient tree, it is very useful to steal jade tomorrow. I just opened this road and came here. When I saw the skylight leaking from the cave, I realized that there is still such a small cave here. I was checking it when I heard two senior brothers talking Sound. I knew that this place was a rock wall, and there was a cave under it. Thousands of horse bears were lurking, and they were very ferocious. Except for strange people, it would be difficult for ordinary people to come here. Because I didn’t know what to do, I fell on the sidelines and listened quietly. Later I heard clearly that it was my own person, and I was about to cut off the vines with my sword, and came out to meet each other, but I didn't want to be discovered by the two senior brothers. The two senior brothers must have come here for the matter of stealing jade, and they happened to work together. Please go inside and see if I agree, wouldn't it be interesting for everyone to live here together?" Jin Chan was about to reply, when she smiled at the monk and said, "It's too long to talk, let's go into the cave and talk about it in detail." Hearing this, Renying raised her hand to greet the guest.

The two of them went into the cave and saw that the entrance of the cave was also a natural rock gap, only a big rock a few feet wide could fit in, and the inside was very dark.The stone falls straight down to Qianxun, only the bottom layer is faintly lit, which seems to be very spacious.Renying has already led the silver light to guide, and the sword light sees that the two walls are full of green moss and vanilla, among the green bushes, there are a few spots of bright red from time to time, which is more and more beautiful.I don't know what kind of exotic flowers and herbs it is. It is so fragrant and fragrant that people want to get drunk.It's a pity that it was born in such a dark and deep cave that cannot see through the sky.

Jian Guang quickly reached the ground in a blink of an eye, and only then did he finish the section of the cave where Qianxun went up and down, and suddenly a cave appeared.The foothold is a vast stone chamber, the walls of which are like jade, in which there is a black stone alchemy furnace, a cloud bed and a stone drum, all well-equipped.On the stone wall, there is a large group of silver light inlaid with Castanopsis chinensis, which shines on the transparent stalactites on the four walls. It is really a golden court jade column, a Jinping pearl necklace, colorful and majestic.Renying first led two people to inspect the large and small stone chambers, there are more than 17 stone chambers in total, each of which has the silver light seen just now, the size is different, and it varies from chamber to chamber.When I got to the outside of the cave, I saw that the main entrance was a square, two feet high, with eleven ancient seal characters on it: "No.The outside of the cave gate is still covered by rocks, and the ground is as flat as a rock.Going out again, there are more than ten feet away, and suddenly I see clear waves blocking the road, spraying beads and flying snow, rushing vastly.There are cliffs on both sides, which line the sky straight up, and the middle waist is separated by clouds. Occasionally, a little bit of the sky can be glimpsed from the idle clouds.The sun shines into Biyuan from the gap in the clouds, like dozens of silver threads, straight as arrows, disappearing with the clouds, sometimes disappearing.At the moment of the wonderland, Jin Chan, Xiao Monk praised him endlessly.

It turns out that the cave is hidden deep in the concave rock of the Juegu, and is hidden by vines and moss.The two cliffs, sealed by ancient clouds, rise above the heavy sky, and below face no land, they are extremely steep and steep, and cannot be settled.If you don't know where it is, even if the person coming is a sword fairy who can descend to the bottom of the ravine and walk on waves, it will be difficult to find it if you don't reach the entrance of the cave.Sure enough, it is worthy of being a paradise on earth, a blessed place in Austria.The three watched for a while, then turned around and entered again.Jin Chan couldn't help asking: "Looking at the inscriptions and equipment in this cave, it is naturally the cave house of the fairy spirits in the past, so it goes without saying. Could it be that the light on the walls of the stone chambers is also a miracle left by the predecessors?" Renying asked the two The man sat down in a nearby stone room and replied: "This cave is the place where some master cultivates the truth. Because it is a newcomer, I have never heard of it from anyone, and I don't know the details. As for the light in the room, it was my younger brother's place in the past." There are 28 gadgets made from fireflies collected in the East Dongting. Everything in this cave is good, but it is very dark, which is a shortcoming. It happens that there are also 28 stone chambers. Since my ancestor and my senior sister Jiang Xuejun saw injustice on the road, and rescued my junior sister Lian Hongyao from Xu Feiniang, the Wuyunbu Wanmiao fairy in Huangshan Mountain, I have only passed on the Taoism for less than a year, and it is worthy of meritorious deeds After consummation, he passed on the mantle to Senior Sister Jiang, and told her to bring Junior Sister Lian to practice in the East Dongting, wait for three Emei sword fights, and go to help in order to cope with the calamity. When he was plundered and the soldiers were defeated, the great vengeance was not avenged. My younger brother was kept in the temple since he was a child. Although he inherited the Yinhe Sword from his ancestors and aunts, his roots were too shallow. After the ancestors ascended to the ascension, no one taught them. If you learn from Senior Sister Jiang, And because men and women are different, they are afraid of being discussed by the enemy, which is very embarrassing. Just when the family teacher Zui Taoist came to Dongting to visit and talked about many causes and effects, the ancestors remembered the last words of the ancestor Changmei Zhenren, and ordered the younger brother to worship under the family teacher. From then on, I belonged to Emei. Soon my ancestors and aunts passed away, and their bodies sat down. My younger brother bid farewell to his bereavement, resigned from his senior sisters and sisters, and went to Biyun Nunnery in Chengdu. At the gate of Wuhou Temple, he met his family teacher and said that he had obeyed the master's order. He ordered my younger brother to go to Mangcang Mountain to help Senior Sister Li Yingqiong, to fight against the monster and steal Wen Yu together. He also explained some words and a letter, indicating the date of meeting and attack; the younger brother was impatient, and because the mountain was so big, he didn't know where the monster was hiding. He Suo, I want to see some movement first. It has been almost a month since I came here. For the first few days, I was focused on looking for traces of demons. On that day, when I walked to the cliff outside the cave, I saw thick clouds and fog below. I thought it was a monster. There is no bottomless ravine, but I didn't care about it. Suddenly, I saw a ray of brilliance flying like lightning in the distance, and threw it straight to the bottom of the ravine. I saw that there was no one to drive it. Only then did I realize that there is such a cave here. My brother, because the cave is too secret, there must be immortals lurking, and the precious light must be manipulated by the people in the cave. He didn't dare to go deep. He pretended to knock on the door many times, but he didn't see any response from the cave. Later, he ventured in and went all the way to the end of the cave, but he didn't see a single person. After checking the situation in the cave, he knew that the owner of the cave had been away for a long time. Because I was cautious at first, I delayed for half a day, and the precious light has disappeared. Since there is no one living in this place, I pretend to be the owner of the cave. I have installed fluorescent lights in every room. Apart from working hard every day, I search for the whereabouts of the precious light all over the cave. , I have not found it again. The day before yesterday, I opened the Cambodian post and knew that Senior Sister Li was with a Senior Sister Zhou. She was coming tomorrow, and the robbery of jade was imminent. I still did not give up on the precious light. The whole hole was formed like a whole stone, and the situation was difficult. Excavated one by one. Guess it must be hidden in a hidden place in the cave. Where there is treasure, there will be signs to find it. After searching for a while, it is still not found. AfternoonWalking out of the cave, I heard the screams of monsters.Looking at the low-lying place in the north of the mountain, I saw two Taoist boys using demon methods to drive away seven or eight giant horse bears, and walked to the north cliff.Because the horse bear is not a kind animal, I ignored him.It suddenly occurred to me that this mountain was always deserted, and these two Taoist boys were full of demonic aura, so they must be the minions of demons.Quietly followed them to a curved mountain ring behind the north cliff, and found the big cave mentioned in the Cambodian post.From the mouths of the two boys, he learned that a woman had come to steal Wenyu a few days ago, his master almost suffered a big loss, and he knew that it was undoubtedly a demon.The demon thought that he was wary, and the smoke and clouds outside the cave seemed to be shrouded by evil treasures.Seeing the power of the demon, he was afraid of being noticed, so he turned back immediately.I went again last night, as I said just now.I had nothing to do this morning, and I was looking for treasures in the cave again. I accidentally found a very narrow path in the rock window deep in the back cave, covered by vines.Follow the path, go deeper and deeper, and finally lead to the belly of an ancient tree outside the cave where the monster lives.If you go directly to steal jade from this point, you can avoid the evil methods in the outer cave, and you will not be noticed by the demon.When I came back, I met two senior brothers. "

After listening to Renying's words, the laughing monk and Jin Chan also told the story in detail.Renying said: "It turns out that the two senior brothers have other missions. And the time for joy is still wide. Stealing jade will only be two days after tomorrow. After the success, if you don't think my skills are shallow, the younger brother is willing to follow the tail and do little work. How about it?" The laughing monk heard the words and quickly thanked him.Then he said to Renying: "Junior brother Shicai said that tomorrow he will first help a fellow Taoist to obtain the Qingsuo sword left by the Daoist Changmei, and then he mentioned Zhou and Li. The person who got the sword must be Zhou. Junior sister. Since this sword can only be obtained with the help of my junior brother, Uncle Zui must tell you the location of the hidden sword and the method of attacking it. Brother Chan and I failed in Baiman Mountain a few days ago, and we also had delusions about using the sword. Now that we know that everything has its own owner, it is not convenient to borrow it indiscriminately, but I would like to hear it to the end, can you tell me?" Renying's face turned red again, showing a little coyness, and replied: "If we talk about this sword, The function of the original Ziying is similar to that obtained by Senior Sister Li, but it is much more difficult to obtain than Ziying. The place is not far from here, not because my younger brother refuses to say it clearly, but because there is something hidden in it. Dao Guanghua is not a rare treasure, but it must be an excellent flying sword. It is not found in the search. It is not my little brother who is greedy. After discovering it, it may be destined. At this time, I am afraid of difficulty and give up. Wouldn’t it be a pity that the strange sun will fall into the hands of outsiders? Why not The three of us searched carefully together, and luckily got it, wouldn't it be a pleasure?"

When the laughing monk saw Renying, he saw that his language was pure and sincere, his mind was bright, and he was worthy of being a member of the Emei sect, so he respected and loved him very much.And when he mentioned the person who won the sword twice, he blushed and hesitated, and finally took away the brilliance he discovered earlier, knowing that there must be something hidden inside.After he finished speaking, seeing that Jin Chan was still asking, he winked, stopped Jin Chan and said, "Junior Brother Yan's words are very true, let's help him find the treasure first."

Renying also knew that Monk Xiao saw that his words were reserved just now, but he was so open-minded that he was too embarrassed to express his original intention, so he could only vaguely agree: "This cave is much shorter than the inside. Chasing Baoguang that day, chasing When I arrived at the entrance of the cave, I seemed to see it enter the cave, go up and go in obliquely, and after a while outside the cave, it disappeared. Thinking about the situation at that time, it didn't look like flying into the ground. The cave is very high, and there are many double-walled corridors. There are rock windows everywhere, although I have been searching for days, I am afraid there are still some omissions. So I want to use the eyes of the two senior brothers to search carefully, or find it, I don't know." Speaking of this, Jin Chan suddenly had an idea, Interrupted and asked: "You said that precious light, but it is golden in color, mixed with black light, and the light flickers in flight, changing?" Renying said in surprise: "The light is exactly as what the brother said, how do you know? "Jin Chan asked Ming when he found it again, clapped his hands and laughed and said: "Congratulations, brother! This sword must be the Xuangui Sword among the seven flying swords at Qingjing Cave on Ningbi Cliff, Emei, and this sword will undoubtedly belong to you after all."
