Chapter 25 Chapter 24 Entering the Sword Academy for the First Time
After leaving Yi Garden, Master Xuanyu took six people to Taixuan Mountain.Along the way, Daoist Xuanyu just walked forward without using Taoism, and proceeded in the way of ordinary people.When the others saw this, although they felt strange, they didn't dare to be presumptuous, so they could only quietly follow behind him.
In an hour, a group of people traveled more than twenty miles.At this time, Master Xuanyu stopped suddenly, turned around and looked at the four Yiyuan disciples, and asked, "Does anyone of you understand why I kept walking on foot just now? You can say whatever you think of, without any consideration."
Master Ziyang had a smile in his eyes, Master Jingyue was expressionless, and the other four looked puzzled.Lin Yunfeng looked at Master Xuanyu, rolled his eyes, and said with a smile: "Master, you can say anything, I'll just take a guess, if you're wrong, you can't be angry. I think you did this to let Let's experience the feelings of ordinary people, and remind us to always remember not to waste this hard-won cultivation, do you think I am right?"
Master Xuanyu nodded with a smile, and said with a smile: "The next one, if any of you have a different opinion, continue to talk. Whether it is right or wrong, I will not blame you." Looking at the remaining three people, Master Xuanyu's eyes flashed Moving with a strange light.
Li Hongfei said softly: "Master, I think this is reminding us to be prepared and go in a calm manner. Only then can we maintain a calm mind when encountering an opponent, exert the strongest strength, and defeat the opponent in one fell swoop. .” After speaking, he looked at Master Xuanyu.
Zhang Aoxue glanced at Lu Yun, and said indifferently: "I think, by doing this, Master Master is telling us that cultivators must not forget their origin. Although we all know the way of Taoism and the way of flying with a sword, this The root of everything is our ordinary body. No matter how advanced our cultivation is, we are just starting from the most ordinary ordinary people."
Lu Yun glanced at the master, then looked at Master Xuanyu, and said softly: "Going quietly on foot can not only calm the mood, but also hide many things. Our opponents this time are all very powerful characters. How about It is very important for us to hide our strength, grasp the opponent's situation, and strike a thunderbolt at a critical moment. We are here to win glory for Yi Yuan, so in order to win, we must try our best to hide our strength , Don’t let your opponent see through you, that way you have a better chance of winning.”
As soon as these words came out, the eyes of Master Ziyang and Master Jingyue changed slightly, and they looked at Lu Yun with surprised eyes.But Master Xuanyu's expression moved slightly, and there was a trace of extremely imperceptible praise in his eyes.Lin Yunfeng, Zhang Aoxue, and Li Hongfei all looked at Lu Yun with horror in their eyes.They never thought that Lu Yun would say such a thing.
Master Xuanyu glanced at Lu Yun, and said softly: "I will leave this question for you to think about for the time being, and I will tell you in the future. Different people have different opinions, which is normal. How to choose the method you choose? That is very important. Life will change anytime and anywhere, so people are changing all the time. How to keep the pure heart unshakable at that moment depends on each person's cultivation level. Well, let's continue on our way. From It only takes half a day for Yujian to fly from here to Tianjianyuan, so we don’t have to be too busy. As long as we can get there before dark, it will be fine. This time, I will take you there in advance so that you can face Tianjian. The academy has a deep understanding. It has been able to rank first in the cultivation world for five hundred years, and there is a certain reason for it. This time, besides the competition, you have to learn more A little something, learn more from other people's excellent methods, you know? Let's go." After finishing speaking, he continued to move forward.
Tianjian Academy, the first of the six academies in the world, is located on the top of Taixuan Mountain.Located not far from Kongling Mountain, with the Yellow River on the left, it is a majestic and magical place.This place is close to the Yellow River, just occupying a dragon vein between heaven and earth.Therefore, for nearly five hundred years, it has always been the number one sect in the cultivation world, far ahead of other sects of cultivation.Over the past five hundred years, this academy has produced countless masters in the realm of cultivation, among which two have become immortals.One is Ling Tian, the founder of this academy, and the other is the head teacher of Tianjian Academy five hundred years ago——Sky Swordsman.
It is said that the founder of this academy was a young hero named Ling Tian more than two thousand years ago.Legend has it that Ling Tian was extremely smart since he was a child, he knew all kinds of martial arts as soon as he learned them, and he has a vivid memory for everything.When he was twenty-seven years old, it is said that he passed Helan Mountain alone with a sword, and heard that there was a man-eating monster nearby, who had already killed countless people. In a rage, he entered the mountain with a sword to find the man-eating monster.
After three days, he finally found the monster.After countless times of fighting, even though Ling Tian seriously injured the demon, he himself was exhausted and was not far from death.Finally, when Ling Tian was about to die in the mouth of the monster, a ray of light suddenly appeared in the sky, and an extremely huge roc suddenly appeared.It is said that the roc came to Ling Tian with a five-color brilliance sword in its mouth.Dapeng gave Ling Tian the Excalibur in his mouth, and helped him kill the demon together.After that, Dapeng took Ling Tian into the sky and disappeared into the sky.From then on, Ling Tian disappeared without a trace.
It wasn't until ten years after that incident that Ling Tian suddenly reappeared in the world.At that time, holding a five-color brilliance sword, he came to Taixuan Mountain alone, established a sect, and established the Tianjian Academy.From then on, the Heavenly Sword Academy faction appeared.Slowly after hundreds of years, it gradually grew.Later, it was said that the disciples of the Tianjian Academy saw Ling Tian soaring in the sky and transforming into a fairy.His becoming an immortal played a certain role in influencing the development of Tianjian Academy, and laid the foundation for the discoveries of later generations.
At that time, the only thing he left behind was the Excalibur.And that divine sword is said to be one of the legendary Three Great Divine Swords, the Heavenly Spirit Divine Sword, which ranks fifth on the list of divine weapons, and together with the Shadow Moon Twin Swords, they are called the Three Great Divine Swords.In addition, there are also rumors that the divine bird Dapeng has been living in seclusion on the top of Taixuan Mountain, guarding the Heavenly Sword Academy.And the name of Tianjian Academy is also because Ling Tian felt that the divine sword fell from the sky, so it was named Tianjian Academy in gratitude to the divine bird Dapeng.
More than a thousand years have passed. Because of the divine sword in hand and the protection of the divine bird, the Tianjian Academy has developed smoothly, but it has never produced any outstanding talents.Until five hundred years ago, a young man named Jianqiu was accidentally rescued from bandits by the head of Tianjian Academy at that time, and brought back to Tianjian Academy.From then on, that boy named Jianqiu was him, the changed Heavenly Sword Academy.
His appearance, like a dazzling meteor, instantly broke the balance of the cultivation world.After ten years of small success, in thirty years he has cultivated to the realm of immortality.At the age of a hundred, he entered the supreme realm of returning to immortality and became a legend in the cultivation world at that time.From then on, under his leadership, Tianjian Institute became one of the six institutes in the cultivation world, and in just thirty years, it became the top six institutes.
Since then, under his vigorous development, Tianjian Academy has been far ahead, firmly occupying the throne of the number one sect in the cultivation world.And Jianqiu is also honored as the Heavenly Swordsman because of his profound cultivation, and he ascended to the Tao more than two hundred years ago.His ascension added another majesty to Tianjian Academy. Since then, Tianjian Academy has been ranked as the number one sect of cultivation, and no one can shake it!
Over the years, the other five academies have been catching up with all their strength, hoping to surpass the Tianjian Academy, but unfortunately none of the academies can do it.Even the Bodhi Academy, which is extremely mysterious in Buddhism, has always been ranked second, unable to catch up with the reputation of Tianjian Academy.
In the past two hundred years, Tianjian Academy has produced many outstanding figures.The current masters of the six caves of Tianjian Academy are all disciples of Jianqiu back then.Back then, Jianqiu only had seven apprentices. Among the seven, the most outstanding one was Li Changhe, nicknamed Sword Soul, and now he was the head of Tianjian Academy.The remaining six disciples are in charge of the six great caves, specially training talents for Tianjian Academy.This time, Jian Wuchen, the most outstanding disciple of Tianjian Academy, came from the first of the six caves - Tianxuan Cave.
Let's talk about the Tianjian Academy, although it is named after the Academy, it is actually mainly composed of six holes.The six caves are Tianxuan Cave, Tianjian Cave, Tianying Cave, Tianpeng Cave, Tianfeng Cave, and Tianhuo Cave.This time, although there were only three outstanding disciples disclosed by Tianjian Academy, there were actually six truly outstanding disciples, one from each hole.Among these people, Jian Wuchen in Tianxuan Cave has the highest cultivation level.Among the six caves, Tianxuan Cave, Tianjian Cave and Tianpeng Cave are the most powerful and have the most outstanding disciples.In each session of the Sixth Academy Martial Arts Conference, the final champions come from these three holes.This is also the reason why Tianjian Academy can always win unfailingly.
In two days, it will be the day of the Sixth Academy's Martial Arts Conference.In order to make this martial arts conference a success, the Heavenly Sword Institute sent someone to receive the distinguished guests from the other five schools at the foot of the mountain two days ago.So far, except for the nearest Confucianism Garden, the rest of the people have not come yet, and they are all on the way if they want to come.
This time, a total of ten people participated in the Confucian Garden, including six contestants.Taking the lead is the head teacher of Confucianism Garden, Layman Haoyun and his younger brother Danqing Jianxia.But this time, the person sent by Tianjian Academy to greet him was none other than Liu Xingsoul, the head of Tianjian Cave.This Liu Xinghun is a well-known figure in the cultivation world, he is the second master of Tianjian Academy, and he has shaken the cultivation world for many years.Almost all cultivators have heard of his name.The people from Confucian Garden came in the afternoon, at this time Liu Xingsoul had already placed them in the Tianfeng Cave to rest.
The setting sun is slanting to the west, and the sky is getting late.Liu Xinghun looked into the distance, his expression changed slightly, and he said to himself: "There is another faction, this year looks very different from the past. These people have come so early, what purpose do they come with? Strange!" After finishing speaking, he looked down the mountain and became slightly pensive.
At the foot of Taixuan Mountain, on a winding ancient road, seven people including Master Xuanyu were walking up.Looking at the majestic Taixuan Mountain, Lin Yunfeng asked: "Master, this mountain is quite majestic. It really deserves to be the number one Taixuan Mountain in the cultivation world. It's just that I don't understand why we Instead of going up directly with the sword, how about going up on foot like this?" Not only did he not understand this point, but neither did Lu Yun, Zhang Aoxue and Li Hongfei, so they all looked at Master Xuanyu.
Master Xuanyu smiled lightly, and said softly: "You are here for the first time, so you don't know the rules here. This Tianjian Academy is known as the head of the Six Academy, and it is Taishan Beidou in the world of cultivation. For hundreds of years, for To show respect to the Heavenly Sword Institute, the other five institutes unanimously put forward a request. That is, no matter which institute, when they are at the foot of Taixuan Mountain, they are not allowed to go straight up with their swords, but must stop and go up on foot to show respect."
When the four disciples heard the words, their faces changed slightly, revealing a hint of shock.Lin Yunfeng said: "It turns out that this is really courageous. If one day our Yiyuan becomes the leader of the Sixth Academy, then if other people come to our Yiyuan, they will have to stop far away and go on foot. If That would be great. At that time, we will have a lot of face, hehe, I really want to feel that feeling."
Master Xuanyu heard the words, and looked at Master Ziyang and Master Jingyue, and there was a trace of sigh in the eyes of all three.Master Xuanyu said softly: "If you want your dreams to come true, you have to work hard. As long as you can achieve good results in this competition, then there will be hope. Back then, Heavenly Sword Academy was always ranked sixth. At the end of the academy, but the last head teacher, Heavenly Swordsman, made the Heavenly Sword Academy jump to the top of the six academy in just thirty years, and that has always been a myth in the cultivation world. Yi Yuan Whether you can create a myth depends on your performance."
Master Ziyang said from the side: "Actually, there is another reason why we walk here with swords that you don't know. This Taixuan Mountain is the important place of Tianjian Academy. The founder of Tianjian Academy, Ling Tian, founded Tianjian Academy At that time, in order to prevent foreign enemies from invading, a mysterious Xuantian sword formation was set up on this Taixuan Mountain. Anyone who crosses the sword from the sky above Taixuan Mountain will be injured by the sword formation, and those who are serious will die Undoubtedly. So since that kind of thing happened, everyone in the comprehension world has always kept this matter in mind, and every time they pass Taixuan Mountain, they are extra careful. Most of them take a detour and avoid this place. We do not use the sword to go up , this is actually the main reason. And the Heavenly Sword Academy is also famous in the Seven Realms because of this sword formation."
Lin Yunfeng and the other four disciples all looked at Master Ziyang in shock, with horror and disbelief in their eyes.Only then did they understand that there was a reason why Tianjian Academy was ranked first among the Six Academy, and it was not comparable to Yi Garden in Western Shu.
The road follows the mountain, and a group of seven people soon came to the mountainside.From a distance, Liu Xinghun from Tianjian Academy greeted him with a smile on his face, very enthusiastic.When we met on the first day of the lunar new year, Liu Xinghun smiled and said, "Brother Xuanyu came from a long way away, I'm really sorry for my disappointment. I'm here to welcome everyone on behalf of my sect. One day earlier, it can be said that they are in front of them. It seems that this time, Yiyuan has produced many outstanding disciples, so I would like to congratulate Daoist brother here first. Fellow Taoist Ziyang and Master Jingyue, are you safe and sound?" Liu Xinghun glanced at Lu Yun and the others, and the four of them felt as if they had been seen through, and they were all shocked.
Xuanyu smiled and said: "Unexpectedly, this time, Fellow Daoist Liu Liu is here to welcome you. We are really flattered. I don't know if there is any movement from other houses. We won't be the first to arrive, right?" Master Yue exchanged a few words of courtesy with Liu Xinghun, which was regarded as a greeting.
Master Ziyang glanced at the four disciples, and said, "You four, come and meet this Master Liu, he is the second best expert in the entire Tianjian Academy. He is a well-known hero in the entire cultivation world, In the future, remember to ask Uncle Liu for more advice, and you will naturally benefit a lot." Lu Yun, Lin Yunfeng, Zhang Aoxue, and Li Hongfei respectfully met Liu Xingsoul.And Liu Xinghun looked at the four of them carefully, with a hint of surprise in his eyes.
Looking at Master Xuanyu, Liu Xinghun exclaimed: "Brother Xuanyu, it seems that you Yiyuan came prepared this time. These four disciples are all full of energy and radiant, all of which are rare A genius at first sight. This time, the dispute between the Sixth Court will probably focus on your Yiyuan. As for who arrived first, you are indeed not the first, but you are also ranked second. The first to arrive It is the Confucianism Garden in Luoyang. They came in the afternoon, a group of ten people, led by Master Haoyun, the head teacher of the Confucian Garden. Among them, there are six contestants, two more than you. But from what I see, they are probably the same as you There is a little difference between them."
Master Xuanyu smiled modestly, and said softly: "You Daoist Liu said it before, so we don't need to talk about it compared to you. There are also Bodhi Academy, Daoyuan, and Phoenix Academy that are above us. As long as we don't fall behind this time, I will I am satisfied. I don’t know where the people from the Confucian Garden will end up this time.”
Liu Xinghun accompanied Daoist Xuanyu up the mountain, and said with a smile: "They are staying in Tianfeng Cave this time. As for you, I am planning to let you rest in Tianhuo Cave. I wonder how Brother Xuanyu thinks?"
When Xuanyu heard this, a strange color flashed in her eyes, but it disappeared in just an instant.With a soft smile, Master Xuanyu said very naturally: "Your Daoist Liu's arrangement is naturally correct, let's go there and rest, let's go." Followed without saying a word.
Lin Yunfeng, Zhang Aoxue, and Li Hongfei all watched the scenery of Taixuan Mountain carefully, and did not notice the change in Xuanyu's expression.Lu Yun looked around, but he was always paying attention to the changes in the teacher's eyes. Seeing the expressions of Master Ziyang and Master Jingyue at this time, Lu Yun could vaguely sense something in his heart.
Arriving at Tianhuo Cave Mansion, Lu Yun carefully looked at it.I saw that this was a huge cave, and there was a very wide field in front of the cave entrance, where countless disciples of the Heavenly Sword Academy were practicing swords.After entering the cave, I realized that the cave is very large, and there are many branches in the belly of a mountain.There are beds and stools in each hole for people to live in.
Liu Xinghun brought a group of seven people into a very large cave, and said with a soft smile, "Fellow Daoist Xuanyu, please feel wronged for a few days and stay here temporarily. There are eight small caves in this cave, and each person can have one cave. Have a good rest. If you have something to do, you can order the disciples outside as you like, and they will take you to complete what you want to do. In the evening, senior brother Xuanyu, fellow Taoist Ziyang, and Master Jingyue, please go to Tianxuan Cave. Yan, you are welcome. Now you are tired too, so I won’t beat you up, rest well, and I will pick up the three of you in person later. Farewell!” After saying that, he exited the cave and disappeared quickly.
Lin Yunfeng looked at the cave and said softly: "It's really strange. The Tianjian Academy is known as the number one sect in the cultivation world. Why do they all live in caves and live the lives of savages? I really don't understand. Look at the disciples outside. There are so many people here. If you can’t live in this cave all the time, then you’d be crazy to live there.”
Master Xuanyu sighed softly: "The reason why Tianjianyuan did this is to encourage the disciples under the sect and make them work hard. In fact, not all the people in Tianjianyuan live in caves, they also have houses, and they are easier to live in than us. The garden is much more luxurious. It’s just that the people who can live there are not ordinary people. In the future, you will know.”
Master Ziyang snorted coldly and said: "They are really disgusting. I didn't believe what Senior Brother Qianyuan said before. I saw them in person today, and I realized that they look down on people. In their eyes, our Yi Yuan has always been I live in the last place, so even the place where I live is the Heavenly Fire Cave, which is not as good as the Heavenly Sword Academy, so I am really pissed off." As soon as these words came out.The expressions of Lu Yun and the other four disciples all changed, and they looked at him in astonishment.
Master Xuanyu sighed softly: "Forget it, who made us Yi Yuan always be at the bottom? This time, if we can't move back the previous disadvantages, then we will never have much hope. So, here , I hope that the four of you will go all out this time to let everyone know that our Yiyuan is not always at the bottom. You have to work hard to win glory for Yiyuan so that you will not be despised. Now everyone Choose a hole and rest for a while, this time we may have to stay here for nearly ten days, so everyone should prepare and keep a good rest.”
Li Hongfei said with a cold expression: "Master, don't worry, this time, I will let everyone know that our Yi Yuan is not so easy to bully. I will use the sword in my hand to tell the entire cultivation world that our Yi Yuan is also very powerful." Incomparable."
Lin Yunfeng said: "They are too bullying. Even if we can't beat them this time, we have to fight them hard so as not to be looked down upon by others. Hmph, I don't believe how powerful they are. We will definitely fight against them this time." You need to see it." Lu Yun and Zhang Aoxue didn't speak, but they also had serious expressions on their faces.
