Volume 1 In the World Chapter 52: Journey to Shaolin (Part 2)
Xiao He ran quickly along the Wind Stopping Valley. The surrounding swamp gas dispersed on both sides of his body very obediently. The tigers and wolves he saw at that time were completely gone. It seemed that this beast was bullying the weak and afraid of the strong like humans. Xiao He ran around the Wind Stopping Valley.
For a long time, there was no sign of Senior Drunken Monster. I thought he had wandered off somewhere.
Xiao He thought like this, but his steps did not stop. Not long after, he arrived at the bank of Yingyue Lake. The broken arm and ruins that were formed due to the battle between the madman and the drunkard monster in the past have been eroded by wind and rain for ten years, and now they look as if they were formed by nature.
Generally, if an outsider comes here, they will marvel at the miraculous craftsmanship of nature, and no one will remember that this is the result of a duel between two old men.
Yingyue Lake was still very calm. Xiao He stood by the lake in silence for a long time. The sky became darker. Under the shadow of the moon, Yingyue Lake showed a kind of aloof beauty. Xiao He looked at things and missed people, and thought of his master, Madam.
I don’t know how the two of them have been doing over the years with the senior alcoholic monster who gave me the wine gourd. Maybe I really have to wait until the twenty-year appointment before I can see them again.
Not wanting to be too nervous, Xiao He turned around and was about to leave. Suddenly there was a whooshing sound, and the spring water made a tinkling sound. Xiao He looked carefully and saw that there was a fishing line thrown from the top of the mountain into the spring in the night. Compared to the lakeside, the top of the mountain was even more smoky.
Wandering, it was late at night again, how could a mortal have such ability? Xiao He couldn't help but think of the fisherman. Before he could think about it, he heard the sound of rushing water, and when the thin line was raised, a carp jumped out.
On the water surface, struggling to hold on to the fishhook, the carp disappeared into the night sky with a slight lift of the fishing line.
Without any time to think about it, Xiao He quickly used his sword to chase towards the top of the mountain. However, when he reached the top of the mountain, there was no one there, only the cold mountain wind blew gently on his face.
It seems that this is another senior expert, but I wonder if he is acquainted with the senior Drunken Monster, and why he appears here so often? Xiao He has no way to answer these doubts, so he has to go to Taoist Priest Tianyanzi first as agreed.
In the silent night, five looming figures were facing the moon and moving away with their swords.
In the early morning of the next day, when the sun had just risen, Taoist Tianyanzi led four disciples across the Jiuzhuo River to the foot of Shaoshi Mountain. To show respect, Tianyanzi led his disciples to walk up the mountain and climbed Jiuzhuo River in total.
Nine hundred and eighty-one stone steps lead to the mountain gate of Shaoshi Mountain. At the door of the mountain gate, there is a short and fat monk standing in the middle, and eight other young monks stand on both sides of the mountain gate.
This person is an eminent monk of the Ji generation in Shaolin Temple, with the Buddhist name Ji Bei.
At this moment, elders from other sects arrived one after another with their disciples. Xiao He stood behind Tianyanzi and looked at everyone carefully, trying to find the disciples of Beiluo Sect.
"Amitabha." Ji Bei said to everyone: "Our ancient Shaolin temple has been honored by fellow Taoists from Liuguang Blessed Land, and a martial arts competition was held at Shaoshi Mountain. Shaolin is very honored. The abbot of this temple, Master Ji Guang, is waiting for all the sages on the top of the mountain. He specially asked me to
We look forward to seeing you, but the martial arts competition will be held tomorrow. Everyone has been tired from traveling, so we will rest in the guest room at the foot of the mountain tonight. If there is any lack of care, I hope you will forgive me!"
After Ji Bei finished speaking, the eight young monks behind him led everyone to the guest room. Taoist priest Tianyanzi also led Xiao He and his party to the guest room.
After arriving in the guest room, Taoist Priest Tianyanzi meditated alone. He just told Xiao He and others not to cause trouble, and ignored the four of them. The four of them had nothing to do, so they chatted together in Xiao He's room.
Xiao He said with a smile: "I thought I would be able to see Master Kong today and have a drink with him!"
Hou Zhu also smiled and replied: "Junior brother, don't be anxious. There are still many opportunities to drink with Master Kong. At this time, the most important thing is to prepare for the battle. What's more, drinking in this Buddhist place of pure cultivation, Master Tianyanzi will definitely be
It won’t be agreed to.”
"That's right, junior brother." Yu Qing also took over and said, "How about you take out the gentleman's wine you brought, and wouldn't it be nice for us to have a drink together tonight?"
Hou Zhu smiled again and said anxiously: "Senior sister, you forgot just after you said that. You have to focus on tomorrow's martial arts competition. The senior uncles have placed high hopes on Junior Brother Xiao He!"
"Yes, I almost forgot." Yu Qing said with a hint of disappointment, then smiled again, looked at Xiao He and said: "Maybe after this battle, Junior Brother Xiao He will be recruited by Liuguang Blessed Land, and then he
Will you remember us?"
Xiao He hurriedly replied: "What senior sister said, not to mention the recruitment is still unknown. Even if I am really recruited by Liuguang Blessed Land, every senior brother and senior sister Xiao He in Guiyan Peak will never dare to forget."
What Xiao He said was the truth. Although he was enlightened by his mentor, Madam, and had various past conflicts with many people in Guiyan Peak, after so many years, Xiao He had already regarded Guiyan Peak as his home.
After experiencing life and death, human relationships, ups and downs here, he has truly regarded himself as a member of Guiyanfeng. Especially when the seven sons of Guiyanfeng pinned their high hopes of recovering Wudang Ancient Temple on him,
Deep in his heart, he had a sense of mission that he had never experienced before. For him, being recruited by Liuguang Blessed Land not only investigated his family's blood debt, but also had another reason, that is, to make Wudang Ancient Temple become a famous place again.
A martial arts master as famous as Shaolin.
"Look, I'm just teasing you, but I'm really worried." Yuqing said with a naughty smile.
"Senior sister always makes fun of me." Xiao He also said with a smile.
At this time, Yu Kui suddenly spoke and said seriously: "Xiao He, tomorrow's martial arts competition is not the same as the communication within our sect. You must not take it lightly!"
Hearing what Yu Kui said, Xiao He also replied seriously: "I know what I know, please rest assured, senior sister!" At this point, Xiao He suddenly remembered something and reached into his arms to take out the Nong Yu that Tong Ran had given him.
. said to himself: "I don't know which guest room the disciples of Liuyun Sect live in."
"Eh? Isn't this Senior Brother's magic weapon Nong Yu? Why is it here with you?" Yu Qing came over and asked curiously.
"Before leaving, senior brother asked me to give this to Luo Lan, a disciple of Liuyun Sect." Xiao He replied.
"So that's it. How is his injury?" Yuqing asked casually.
Xiao He replied: "Don't worry, I asked my senior brother and he said that with Uncle Tiantongzi's treatment, everything will be fine." Hearing Xiao He's words, Yu Kui couldn't hide her guilt and echoed: "It's okay.
That’s fine, it’s all my fault that I was careless and almost harmed my senior brother!”
At this time, Hou Zhu sighed slightly, and the strange look on his face flashed across his face. He walked to Yu Kui and comforted him: "Senior sister, during the competition, such things are inevitable. Since senior brother said that he is fine,
You don’t have to blame yourself too much.”
Yu Kui nodded slightly, still looking worried.
"By the way, what is the relationship between Senior Brother and this Miss Luo Lan of Liuyun Sect? Why do we have to hand over this thing to her?" Xiao He felt the depression in everyone's atmosphere and changed the topic.
"Haha, Junior Brother Xiao He, you don't know something. This happened at the last blessed land competition." Hou Zhu quickly took over Xiao He's words and said: "At that time, senior brother represented Gui Yanfeng at the blessed land exchange conference. Then Miss Luo Lan and
The eldest brother is a rival, and he doesn’t want to fall in love at first sight in the ring, so he uses a magic weapon as a token of love in exchange.”
"It turns out that senior brother also has such a romantic side." Xiao He joked.
"Of course, senior brother is in his prime, and of course he will fall in love with someone. But why did senior brother ask you to return this jade to that girl?" Yuqing asked.
Xiao He was speechless for a moment when he was asked, and was a little stunned. Hou Zhu quickly replied: "Maybe senior brother is a little guilty of damaging the jade!"
"Oh!" Yuqing responded naturally and did not continue to ask, but this seemed to suddenly wake up Xiao He. He seemed to have thought of something and turned to look at Hou Zhu, but he did not notice the look on Hou Zhu's face.
Found something strange.
"By the way, junior brother, the guest room where Liuyun Sect disciples live has to be walked further towards the back mountain, past a bamboo forest. Can I accompany you there?" Hou Zhu said.
"Okay, let's go take a look now!" Xiao He said.
"Shall senior sister and I go too?" Yuqing asked.
"You don't have to go to so many people, right?" Xiao He said with a bitter smile.
"Let's just wait here. We're just handing over to Nong Yu. There's really no need to go with so many people." Yu Kui consoled her from the side.
"Don't worry, Junior Brother Xiao He and I will go and come back!" After Hou Zhu said this, he took Xiao He out of the guest room and walked towards the bamboo forest.
Shaolin is a place of pure cultivation. Everywhere is like the light of Buddha. Every plant and tree is full of Buddhist principles. The beautiful scene makes people feel a lot more relaxed. The disciples of all sects along the way are talking and laughing.
The next day, as if they were going to compete, Xiao He and Hou Zhu didn't talk to each other until they entered the bamboo forest. They were very quiet. After walking for a long time and only the two of them were around, Xiao He dared to ask: "Brother Hou Zhu, what are you doing?"
Tell me, how serious is Senior Brother's injury?"
Hou Zhu paused for a moment and said with some embarrassment: "Didn't Senior Brother tell you personally?"
Xiao He said: "At that time, I felt something was wrong, so I didn't continue to ask. Just tell me the truth."
Hou Zhu paused again, and just as he was about to speak, a pleasant voice suddenly came from his ears. He opened his mouth and said softly: "Junior brother, listen, it's such a beautiful voice."
Xiao He also heard this sound, and was stunned for a moment, and murmured back: "It's very elegant, it is indeed very elegant, what kind of musical instrument is this sound?"
"It's like a Sheng." Hou Zhu replied softly.
"Let's go forward to look for the sound and see who is playing!" After Xiao He finished speaking, he walked forward, and Hou Zhu had to follow closely behind.
After walking for a while, we came out of the bamboo forest. There was a small stream next to the bamboo forest, and the sound of sheng music was playing against the background. Beside the stream, there was a girl with red lips and white teeth, wearing a pink dress, playing the sheng. The beautiful sound was like a luan and a phoenix flying.
, Hou Zhu suddenly realized and said: "Junior brother, I remembered that this person is Luo Lan, and this song is the "Phoenix Stage" that she and senior brother performed together back then."
