Zhu Xianzhi's sword Qingyun

Chapter 1
The majestic Qingyun Mountain and the long Hongchuan River.

Under the high mountains and on the banks of the big river, a quiet and peaceful small village is located here.

The scale of the village is small, with no more than 40 households. It is named Caomiao Village only because there is a dilapidated Caomiao outside the village.

At the head of Caomiao Village lived a teaching family. The man in this family was surnamed Lin. He was a scholar who had studied for several years. A scholar in a long gown, he became a teacher in a small village.

Mr. Lin's family has a son named Lin Jingyu. Lin Jingyu has been intelligent since he was a child, and he never forgets to read, so Mr. Lin wanted to send him to a private school in Heyang City.

But Lin Jingyu was a very assertive child, more than once he rejected his father's wishes, and there was always only one reason: "Parents are here, so don't travel far."

Because he does not belong to this world, he is an orphan from another world, he has never met his parents since he was a child, but God gave him a chance to be reborn, so he cherishes his current family affection, In any case, he was always reluctant to leave this warm little mountain village.

Lin Jingyu has a strange habit: he likes to sit alone on a big rock outside the village, watching the smoke curling up from the kitchen in the afterglow of the setting sun, in a quiet daze.No one knew what he was thinking except himself.

Yes, only when you have lost, will you understand the preciousness of what you have now.

"Jing Yu, guess who I am?" A child quietly walked up behind Lin Jing Yu, and covered Lin Jing Yu's eyes.

"Xiaofan, you are not at home for dinner at this time, why did you run out?" Lin Jingyu and Zhang Xiaofan were best playmates since childhood, Lin Jingyu heard his voice immediately.

"Jing Yu, move over there." Zhang Xiaofan walked to the front, sat down next to Lin Jingyu's buttocks, pointed to the Cao Temple not far away, and said hesitantly: "Do you still remember that we were in the Cao Temple just now?" Did you see that old monk? I saw that he was dressed in tatters, do you think I should send him some food tonight?"

Lin Jingyu patted Zhang Xiaofan's shoulder with a smile: "I advise you not to go, that old monk is weird, maybe he's still a fool."

"Pengci? What is Pengci?" Zhang Xiaofan scratched his hair and asked puzzledly.

"Don't say it, don't say it." Lin Jingyu chuckled, shook his head inscrutablely, got up and walked home.

"Chou Jingyu, you are always like this." Zhang Xiaofan complained as he looked at Lin Jingyu's leaving back.

Tonight is destined to be an extraordinary night, with billowing black clouds and thunderstorms.

This night, Lin Jingyu fell asleep early as usual amidst his parents' nagging, but when he woke up again, he found that everything had changed.

A eccentric old monk, a dilapidated grass temple, Lin Jingyu's ordinary life was broken.

In the morning, when the wind and rain stopped, the sky cleared up.Under the old tree outside Caomiao Village, Lin Jingyu was sleeping soundly.

"Jing Yu, wake up, where are we?" Beside him, Zhang Xiaofan was pushing him vigorously, trying to wake him up.

Perhaps his pushing and shoving played a role, and Lin Jingyu, who was still asleep, finally woke up from his sleep.

Lin Jingyu opened his eyes and found that Zhang Xiaofan was actually sleeping next to him, he looked around and asked in shock: "I'm not sleeping at home, how did I get here?"

Zhang Xiaofan shrugged his shoulders, said: "I don't know, but I'm very cold, I'd better go back soon!"

Lin Jingyu had many questions in his mind, but his body was really cold, he nodded immediately, got up and ran towards the village together with Zhang Xiaofan.

Before arriving at the village, the two of them realized that something was wrong. Normally at this time, the villagers would have already woken up, but today it was extremely quiet, not even a single person was seen, and with the morning wind blowing, there was a faint smell of blood. taste.

They looked at each other and saw the surprise in each other's eyes. At the same time, they quickened their pace and ran towards the village.It didn't take long before the two arrived at the entrance of the village. Looking in from the main road at the entrance of the village, they saw that on the flat ground in the middle of the village, there were more than forty families in Caomiao Village, more than 200 people, big and small, men and women, were lying on the open ground. On the ground, the body stiffened and turned into a corpse, blood flowed like a river, flies flew around, and the smell of blood rushed towards his face.

"Father! Mother!"

Lin Jingyu recognized his parents' clothes from the piled up corpses at a glance, and became furious, he yelled, and passed out.

Corpses, blood, bones, and the smiling faces of relatives kept replaying in Lin Jingyu's mind. These images were like an invisible big hand, ruthlessly strangling Lin Jingyu's throat, making him unable to breathe.

Suddenly, there was a "buzz" in his head, Lin Jingyu's whole body trembled, and he suddenly sat up from the bed.

Lin Jingyu, who was still in shock, looked around and looked at the surrounding environment. Looking around, there were pine tables and chairs, white porcelain kettles, window lattices pasted with a layer of thin paper, the word "Tao" hanging on the wall, and lying beside him. Zhang Xiaofan.

This is not his home, this is not his small but sunny cottage.

What is this place, my home?Why am I not at home?

Lin Jingyu was full of uneasiness, and quickly pushed Zhang Xiaofan beside him to wake up: "Xiaofan, wake up, where are we?"

Zhang Xiaofan was suddenly awakened by Lin Jingyu's push, straightened up and looked around, suddenly a flash of panic flashed in his eyes, he asked cautiously: "Jingyu, did you have a nightmare just now?"

Lin Jingyu saw the panic in Zhang Xiaofan's eyes, paused, nodded, and asked in his heart: Is this really a nightmare?still is?
Lin Jingyu's heart trembled, and he didn't dare to think any more.

At this time, a young Taoist priest in a blue Taoist robe opened the door and walked in, saying, "You are awake."

"Brother, what kind of place is this? Why are we sleeping here?" Lin Jingyu asked impatiently when he saw the person coming.

The young Taoist replied: "This is Tongtian Peak of Qingyun Mountain. Brother Song from Dazhu Peak passed by Caomiao Village before and saw you two passed out on the road, so he brought you both back."

"Then what about the other people in the village?" Lin Jingyu recalled the memories in his mind, and tentatively asked uneasily.

The young Taoist looked at the two children in front of him with pity, and sighed: "They are all dead, only you two are left."

"They're all dead?" Lin Jingyu finally realized the worry in his heart, all of this was indeed true.The piles of white bones and the river of blood are all real.

"Shocking Feather."

"Xiaofan."

The two teenagers looked at each other, unable to suppress the pain in their hearts anymore, they hugged each other, crying together.

The young Taoist at the side silently looked at the pair of children in front of him, wanting to comfort him, but he didn't know where to start.

The young Taoist just waited quietly for them to finish crying, and slowly said: "Several masters want to see you, so come with me."

Lin Jingyu and Zhang Xiaofan looked at each other, nodded, wiped away their tears, and followed the young Taoist priest out.

The two of them followed the young Taoist priest, bypassed the corridor, and walked through hundreds of small courtyards. As soon as Fang stepped out of the gate, he was immediately stunned by what he saw.

The towering mountain peaks go straight into the sky, white clouds as light as tulle seem to surround the feet, and the majestic hall in the distance shines dazzlingly under the sunlight, even Lin Jingyu has to sigh, how like it is in the world!
"Is this a fairyland?" Zhang Xiaofan opened his eyes wide and looked around at everything in front of him, he couldn't help exclaiming.

"This is just one of the scenes in Qingyun, and there are many more beautiful ones ahead." The young Taoist smiled and looked at the two stunned children, feeling as if he saw himself many years ago, when he first came to Qingyun, didn't he look like this? ?

The young Taoist led the stunned Lin Jingyu and Zhang Xiaofan through the sea of ​​clouds and Hongqiao, and soon, the three of them saw the destination of their trip - "Jade Qing Palace".

The peak of Tongtian Peak is as high as the white clouds, and the Palace of Yuqing is even higher on the peak. Lin Jingyu felt his legs go weak just looking at the countless white marble steps, let alone walking up them himself.

Just when Lin Jingyu was staring at the stone steps in a daze, something happened suddenly, a huge wave suddenly rose in the pool beside the stone steps, and the huge water splashed on the two defenseless children.

Then, with a loud roar in the pool, a daunting giant leaped out of the pool.

This gigantic beast is more than five feet tall, with a dragon head and a lion body, covered in scales, huge eyes and a big mouth, two sharp fangs glistening in the sun, it scared Lin Jingyu and Zhang Xiaofan to tremble.

"You, don't come here." Lin Jingyu didn't know where the courage came from, he pulled Zhang Xiaofan tremblingly behind him, protecting him.

It's just that Lin Jingyu was young and weak, his thin and thin shoulders looked so insignificant in front of this colossal monster, as if a small sneeze could blow him away.

Fortunately, at this moment, the young Taoist priest came up, tied his hands on his chest, and bowed towards the giant beast: "I want to report to Lingzun, they were specially summoned by your masters, and I hope Lingzun will let them go."

The giant beast called Lingzun turned around the two of them with wide-eyed eyes, as if thinking about something, then shook its head, walked to the side, closed its eyes and lay down on the ground, snoring loudly in an instant.

The young Taoist looked at the two people who were still in shock and explained: "Don't be afraid, the Spirit Venerable is an ancient water unicorn. It was subdued by our Patriarch Qingye for thousands of years. Too strong. Now it is our Qingyun Sect's mountain-suppressing spirit beast, and is honored as Lingzun."

After finishing speaking, the young Taoist priest bowed respectfully to the water unicorn beside him.Lin Jingyu quickly imitated the example, pulled the somewhat sluggish Zhang Xiaofan and saluted Shui Qilin.

After worshiping the water unicorn, the three of them walked up the stone steps. After walking for a while, they finally saw the golden plaque of Yuqing Hall.

Before coming to the majestic hall, I saw that the door was wide open, and there was plenty of light inside.

In front of the altar, on top of the main hall, there were dozens of people standing, all of them seemed to be under Qing Yun's sect.In front of the crowd, there were seven big sandalwood chairs, three on the left and three on the left, and another one in the front, but there were only six people sitting on it, only the last chair on the right was empty.

The young Taoist priest who brought them over straightened his Taoist robes outside the door, and said respectfully to the hall: "Master, masters, disciple Chang Jian, I have been ordered to bring the two young..."

Chang Jian hadn't finished speaking, when suddenly a shrill cry came from above the sacred and solemn hall, interrupting him: "Ghost, evil ghost! Ghost!"

Lin Jingyu was startled by the sudden shout, but when he listened carefully, he felt that the voice was very familiar.

Just when Lin Jingyu recalled this person, Zhang Xiaofan rushed into the hall and shouted loudly: "Second Uncle Wang, Second Uncle Wang, is that you?"

Lin Jingyu was reminded by Zhang Xiaofan, suddenly remembered, isn't this the second uncle Wang, the woodcutter in the village?

But at this moment, Second Uncle Wang was already out of his mind, he didn't recognize Lin Jingyu and Zhang Xiaofan, he just curled up in the corner of the hall with a look of fear on his face, muttering to himself: "Ghost, ghost, ghost..."

"Second Uncle Wang, what happened? Why are all the people in the village dead?" Zhang Xiaofan asked anxiously while grabbing Second Uncle Wang.

Lin Jingyu pulled Zhang Xiaofan over and said unwillingly: "It's useless, he's already gone crazy!"

After all, Lin Jingyu is a human being in two lifetimes, so his mind is naturally much more active than Zhang Xiaofan's. Lin Jingyu roughly swept the people in the hall, pulled Zhang Xiaofan past him, and knelt down facing Daoxuan Daoxuan who was sitting in the middle.

"Really, the two of us are young and ignorant, and we really don't know what to do when we are suddenly subjected to such a big change. You old man has great powers and can know the past and the future. Please be sure to make decisions for us!"

Zhang Xiaofan is not as good at talking as Lin Jingyu, and at the moment his mind is in a mess, so he followed suit: "Yes! Immortal Grandpa, you are the master!"

The tragedy in Caomiao Village happened right at the foot of Qingyun, and the arrogance of madness simply ignored Qingyunmen's righteous giants as nothing, so Master Daoxuan naturally paid a lot of attention to this matter.

"I don't know the future and the past, but you live under Qingyun Mountain, and Qingyun Sect will naturally not ignore it. It's just that I have a few questions I want to ask you, and I hope you can answer them well."

Lin Jingyu nodded his head and said: "Jingyu must know everything. Please ask the real person to ask questions."

Reverend Daoxuan nodded slightly, and asked: "You were also in Caomiao Village last night, how did you escape this calamity?"

Lin Jingyu tried his best to recall the information in the dream in his mind, and replied: "Reporting to the real person, I still remember sleeping on the bed at home last night, but when I woke up in the morning, I was lying under a pine tree in the wild with Xiaofan. I don't know what happened. Later, Xiaofan woke me up, and we ran back to the village together, and when we saw that scene, we fainted from fright."

Master Daoxuan frowned, looked at Zhang Xiaofan: "What about you?"

Zhang Xiaofan thought for a while and said: "I didn't know what to do so I went there, woke up and saw Jing Yu next to me, so I woke him up."

Reverend Daoxuan pondered for a while, and said: "It seems that you guys don't know anything about what happened last night."

Lin Jingyu and Zhang Xiaofan both answered in unison: "Yes."

Reverend Daoxuan sighed, and said: "Song Daren, you discovered the man, so please tell me about the situation at that time."

Song Daren came out from the crowd with a rough voice: "Sect Master, early this morning, this disciple and several fellow disciples returned from work, and returned in the sky. When passing by the sky above Caomiao Village, this disciple inadvertently lowered his head, It was found that there were more than 200 dead bodies piled together in the village, which was horrible.

The disciples and others hurried down to check. First, the two children were found in the village, and then the person was found in the latrine at the side of the village. After counting the number of people, it was confirmed that there were 42 people in 240 households in Caomiao Village, and all but the three of them were dead. died. "

After listening to Song Daren's words, Lin Jingyu suddenly had that lingering nightmare in front of his eyes again, as if he could still smell the strong smell of blood in the village, his head hummed, and he passed out together with Zhang Xiaofan past.

Reverend Daoxuan sighed softly, turned his head to the Taoist sitting first on the left, and asked, "Junior Brother Cangsong, how do you think this matter should be handled?"

Taoist Cangsong is tall and dignified, he is the head of the Longshoufeng lineage of Qingyunmen, and he is also in charge of punishments in Qingyunmen, so apart from Daoxuan's Nagato, his Longshoufeng lineage is the most powerful .

"There are many doubts about this matter, and I am anxious to find out. But the villagers of Caomiao have always been simple, and we can't ignore their orphans. I think we should take them under the sect!"

Reverend Daoxuan nodded, and said: "That's right, that's what I mean too. These two children were born in poverty, we have to take care of them. It's just that I haven't accepted apprentices for many years, I don't know which junior can take them under the sect ?”

"Brother Sect Leader, in my opinion, it's best not to let the two of them belong to the same family. They have similar backgrounds. If they stay together, every time they see each other, they will think of the past. If they are so hostile, I'm afraid it will be bad in the future. !" Dazhufeng's first Tian Buyi said first.

Reverend Daoxuan thought for a while, and agreed: "Junior Brother Tian is right. The two of them have undergone such a big change at such a young age. We should properly resolve the resentment in their hearts. It is really not suitable for them to live together. Then we need The two younger brothers have come to take them in." He said, looking at the crowd.

The heads of each lineage are all people with profound Taoism. From the performance just now, the level of aptitude of the two has been distinguished early in the morning. Their eyes fell on the talented Lin Jingyu almost at the same time, but no one paid attention to it. Zhang Xiaofan.

"Hey, Senior Sect Leader, you know that my Dazhu Peak lineage has always been weak, so I will solve one for you this time!" Tian Buyi pointed at Lin Jingyu and said first.

"Brother sect master, when I saw this child today, I felt that I was very close to him. I thought it was because I have a predestined relationship with him, why not let him join my sect!" Chaoyang Peak's first Shang Zhengliang stood in front of Lin Jingyu. in front of.

But as soon as Shang Zhengliang finished speaking, the head of Luoxia Peak, Taoist Tianyun, sneered at the side: "Senior brother Shang, you have two hundred disciples under your sect, if all of them have a destiny with you, your fate is also inevitable." Too much."

"Brother Sect Leader, these two children have such a pitiful life experience, we naturally give them the best care, why not let me take him into the sect, I will teach him carefully, make him a talent, and comfort the souls of Caomiao Village. "Taoist Cangsong gently hugged Lin Jingyu and said.

Reverend Daoxuan nodded: "Junior Brother Cangsong is right, so let him join your sect!"

"Thank you, Senior Sect Leader." After getting a piece of beautiful jade, even Cang Song, who was always serious in speech, showed a slight smile.

"As for the other one." Reverend Daoxuan looked at Tian Buyi, and continued, "Then Dazhufeng, who first discovered this matter, will take it under his wing."

Zhang Xiaofan's aptitude is mediocre, Tian Buyi could tell at a glance, but Daoxuan Daoxuan has always had a high prestige in Qingyun Sect, Tian Buyi couldn't easily refute, so he nodded and took Zhang Xiaofan over.

When everything came to a halt, everyone in the Yuqing Palace dispersed, Taoist Cangsong also carried Lin Jingyu out of the hall, with a swipe of his right hand, a burst of yellow light flashed, Taoist Cangsong floated up, accompanied by the sound of breaking wind, Cang Song hugged Lin Jingyu and galloped towards Longshou Peak.
