Chapter 112: Spirit Sword Mountain
Each of the five upper realms has a strong sense of oppression on those in lower realms, which comes from the depth of one's comprehension of the Way of Heaven.
As the direct disciple of the Palace Master, You Buyu had reached the Dao Rong realm at a young age. In fact, he was already considered a genius.
He is still young, has enough life span, and has unlimited possibilities.
But at this moment, the aura outside the door made him feel clearly that he could not defeat it.
Because that breath made him feel as if there were countless sharp swords hanging over his head, and murderous aura was everywhere, as if he would be beheaded in the next second.
Could it be that the people from Lingjian Mountain wanted to kill him in the dark? No, it was impossible.
The disciples of Tianshu Academy came to ask openly, Lingjian Mountain would not be so stupid as to kill them at the foot of the mountain without even giving them a chance to go up the mountain.
But if not, how could such a powerful person of high level come to this inn booked by Tianshuyuan tonight.
"May I ask who the senior is?"
"Could it be that the elders of Lingjian Mountain were afraid that Zhuang You would not be able to defeat me, so they secretly killed me at night?"
"Senior, you know that if this behavior is spread out, Lingjian Mountain will definitely be ridiculed by fellow Taoists all over the world!"
You Buyu got up from the ground, panting, and asked in a cold voice.
Lingzhou was shrouded in mist because it was backed by the Xuanhai Sea. At this moment, the bright moon appeared from the gaps in the clouds, causing the door in front of it to reflect a tall and graceful figure in the flickering light.
Seeing this scene, You Buyu was stunned.
From the silhouette, it can be seen that there is a woman in front of the door, and she seems to be a young woman.
A possibility flashed through his mind, but he quickly denied it.
It is impossible that she is the young master of Lingjian Mountain. Even though I am the disciple of the Palace Master of Tianshu Academy, I am afraid it is not worth it for her to come here in person at night.
But after thinking about it, he couldn't think of which elder of Lingjian Mountain it would be.
But at this moment, the figure suddenly disappeared, and the aura that made him feel like he was facing a formidable enemy also dissipated.
You Buyu stood in the room and breathed a sigh of relief, but the fear in his eyes had not yet subsided.
In the night that he could not see, a graceful figure had already flown up to Xuanjian Peak, and then landed on the misty Yunding Sky Palace.
It was already late at night, and the two maids in the palace were almost asleep. At this moment, they felt a gust of wind hitting their faces and immediately woke up.
"Master Jian, it's so late, where have you been?"
"Demonstrating to the ordinary disciples of Tianshuyuan."
Yan Shuyi said something lightly to the two maids, and then thought to himself that the demonstration was real. That day, the disciples of the academy were so scared by him that they kept calling him "Jianzhu", but having their feet touched and being fed pumpkin seeds were negligible.
As the stars and the moon rotated, the night faded away quietly, and the dawn light sprinkled down, awakening the Nanhua City.
You Buyu came out of the room, his expression more solemn than ever.
That smell last night made him alert the whole night, so he didn't sleep much.
He Lingxiu frowned slightly when she saw this: "What's wrong with Senior Brother You? Why do you look more nervous than a few days ago?"
"It seems that Zhuang Youbi is not as good as me."
"?"
You Buyu lowered his voice and said, "Last night, I was practicing in my room, and a master suddenly attacked me, trying to attack me in the dark."
"Did someone attack you last night?" He Lingxiu was shocked.
"Yes, luckily I was quick-witted and drove that man away, but this is enough to show that the people of Lingjian Mountain lack confidence and have such despicable thoughts."
You Buyu raised the corner of his mouth after he finished speaking: "It seems that I don't need to be so cautious in this battle. I just need to use my sword with all my strength."
As soon as he finished speaking, footsteps were heard outside the inn, and news came back from the disciple who had just been sent out to observe the mountain.
The clouds and mist on the hillside of Lingjian Mountain dissipated, and the hiking trail was now right in front of us.
The seven major immortal sects in Qingyun World all have protective formations, which are usually half-open and covered by clouds and fog. But now that the clouds and fog have dispersed, it means that their mountain gate formations are open.
Ji You, Ban Yangshu, Wen Zhengxin and Pei Ruyi also came down from upstairs at this time and saw that the people from Tianshuyuan were ready to go.
Then they went out facing the rising sun and climbed the mountain path of Lingjian Mountain.
There are many dangerous peaks here. Only when you reach halfway up the mountain can you see a majestic mountain gate, and the front of the mountain gate is already full of cultivators.
Most of them were disciples of Lingjian Mountain, looking at them with caution. Some of them even circulated their spiritual energy without any concealment, bringing out the sword intent to the extreme.
The other part was composed of disciples from the Wendao Sect and the Shanhai Pavilion, scattered around the disciples from the Lingjian Mountain.
There is no personal hatred between Shanhai Pavilion and Tianshuyuan, and most of the disciples have an expression of watching the fun.
Wen Dao Zong had a gloomy expression on his face, and all his eyes were focused on Ji You, including Min Cheng. Thinking of what happened yesterday, he became murderous.
"Junior Brother Ji, it is not a wise choice to go up the mountain."
Ban Yangshu looked at the eyes of the disciples of the Daoist Sect and couldn't help but feel a little worried: "You Buyu was practicing in his room last night, and it is said that he was almost attacked."
Ji You looked at him when he heard the voice: "What attack?"
"You don't know yet? He said that Lingjian Mountain was worried that Zhuang You would lose, and last night a master came for him under the cover of darkness, but he was driven away in a hurry."
"It is said that he lives happily."
"?"
At this time, Ji You's eyes wandered and he looked around. He recognized several familiar faces, all of whom he had fought against with swords in the ruins.
At that time, the evil spirit in the ruins was so overwhelming that many people who were suppressed found it difficult to circulate their spiritual energy, allowing Ji You to gain the upper hand.
But seeing them again now, it is clear that these people's cultivation is indeed not low.
Two of them were at the Rong Dao realm of the Wendao Sect, and they had unleashed their full aura, causing even he, who was at the Tong Xuan realm, to feel immense pressure.
But now that he was already here, there was no reason for him not to go to Lingjian Mountain. He was still concerned about the person and the sword.
I saw the man yesterday, but I haven’t seen the sword yet.
I ran into Ding Yao on the street yesterday. He had heard about the establishment of the Sword Forest at Tianjian Peak and had an idea in his mind, so it was impossible for him not to come.
So, under the watchful eyes of the public and under the boundless murderous aura, the disciples of Tianshu Academy walked along the mountain, and the interior of Lingjian Mountain appeared before their eyes.
This place is different from Tianshuyuan. The terrain has not been modified much, and the steepness of the original mountain is retained, but there are many pavilions and towers.
Going forward is a huge covered bridge suspended above two cliffs. In the middle is a waterfall flowing down from the Wenjian Peak, like a straight long sword finally falling into the surging river in the canyon.
There are several water wheels on the river, which turn with the rushing water, while on both sides of the canyon are the residences and dojos of the outer courtyard disciples, which look well-organized as far as the eye can see.
Then they arrived at a circular venue called the Sword-Watching Terrace, facing the Sword Waterfall that dropped three thousand feet.
At this time, there were already three people waiting for them on the Sword Watching Platform.
One of them was the chief elder of Tianjian Peak, named Yan Ye. He was a descendant of the Lingjian Mountain family. He wore a Taoist robe and had an arrogant look in his eyes.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
The other two were familiar to them, namely Zhuo Wanqiu, whom they had met many times in the ruins, and Ding Yao, who had ordered the siege on them that day.
People from Tianshuyuan came to ask questions, so naturally there wouldn't be a headmaster or a judge present to greet them with a smile like they did yesterday.
Yan Ye represented Tianjian Peak, Zhuo Wanqiu and Ding Yao represented Xuanjian Peak, and Wenjian Peak did not intervene in the matter because it had no direct disciples to fight and had been in decline for many years.
"The matter of the ruins is originally for the immortal fate. You live and I die, each of us depends on our own ability."
"But the Tianshu Academy thinks it is unreasonable for our disciples to use swords. Even so, we will accept your request."
"Tomorrow we will set up a scene at the Sword Watching Platform. Since it is unclear who is right and who is wrong, the three-foot sword in our hands will surely make things fair."
"Your Tianshu Academy wants to dominate the world, and you want me, Lingjian Mountain, to be your foil. Then it depends on whether your swords are qualified."
Yan Ye said a few words and then looked at Zhuo Wanqiu.
Zhuo Wanqiu raised her eyes and glanced at Ji You in the crowd: "You all have come from afar, and I believe you must be exhausted. Your accommodation during the period of your stay is arranged at our Xuanjian Peak. Please follow me."
Hearing Zhuo Wanqiu's soft voice, Yan Ye couldn't help but frowning slightly, thinking to himself, are you really treating them as guests if you are so polite?
The personal maid that Master Xiao Jian had replaced was indeed far inferior to Ding Yao.
In addition, when discussing how to arrange accommodation for the disciples from Tianshuyuan who came to ask questions, Tianjianfeng suggested that they just vacate a few dormitories for the outer courtyard disciples.
But no one knows why Xuanjian Peak intervened in this matter and arranged them all on the mountain. It is puzzling.
Afterwards, the group of disciples followed him up the mountain and saw houses hanging on the cliffs on both sides of the valley.
"It seems that they have been divided by name? Strange..."
Wen Zhengxin and Pei Ruyi were talking in a low voice, feeling extremely confused.
If Lingjian Mountain had good intentions, it clearly left them alone for the night yesterday and instead invited disciples from the Wendao Sect and the Shanhai Pavilion to go up the mountain.
But if it is said to be rude, it is really hard to understand why so much fuss is made over such trivial details.
The next few people were assigned to guest rooms on both sides of the canyon. Wen Zhengxin and Pei Ruyi were also assigned to a small house on a high place.
However, the two did not enter the house, but watched Ji You being taken to a higher place.
"Why do you have to live so high up? I just saw a guest room not far away."
"I don't know either……"
Pei Ruyi looked up and saw the huge cloud-topped sky palace on a high peak not far away.
At this time, Ji You followed Zhuo Wanqiu and Ding Yao to a place near Tianque, and was then led into a small path leading to a bamboo forest.
There was a small courtyard in the bamboo forest. The gate was wide open at this time. The courtyard was swept very clean and there were many daily necessities placed there.
For example, teacups, futons, and chopsticks are all brand new and come in pairs.
Ding Yao looked at the small courtyard, frowned, and thought that the master had actually arranged him here, and then he heard Zhuo Wanqiu's voice ringing in his ears.
"Master Ji, this is your residence. You don't need to use your sword for the next few days, so just take a good rest. If you need anything, just call me."
"My residence was arranged by your young master?"
Zhuo Wanqiu shook her head when she heard this: "No, it was assigned randomly. The Master has been concentrating on practicing Taoism these past few days and has never asked about this matter, not a single word."
Ding Yao stood at the door and looked at Zhuo Wanqiu, thinking to herself, I don’t know whether the judge asked or not, but even if he didn’t ask, I guess he couldn’t stop you from being so intimate.
In order to arrange one person, all the disciples of Tianshu Academy were arranged. It was really painstaking.
However, since she knew that the Master of Jian could not even wait for a whole night and came down the mountain to see him last night, she became more concerned and did not want to provoke this person any more.
Ji You's luggage was all in the storage gourd, so he didn't need to pack it outside. He looked at Ding Yao and Zhuo Wanqiu and asked, "Where is the sword forest set up by Tianjian Peak?"
"Jianlin?"
Zhuo Wanqiu opened her mouth and said, "Young Master, are you going to the Sword Forest?"
Ji You nodded: "I want to go and see the swords of Lingjian Mountain."
He didn't have much time, and only had the opportunity to stay in Lingjian Mountain during these few days of asking for advice.
If the teachings are over, he will need to follow the disciples of Tianshuyuan and leave the mountain. He doesn't know when he will come again.
(Please give me a monthly ticket, I beg you for a monthly ticket!!)
