Chapter 2 Chapter One

With a sound of "squeak", the door of the hut on Wudang Back Mountain was pushed open, and a Taoist with a strange appearance walked out slowly.Facing the rising sun in the sky, he took a deep breath, stretched his body, and performed a set of exhalation kung fu.He seemed to be very satisfied with the progress of his kung fu, with a smile on his face, he walked to the rock in front of the house and looked down. Not far from the bottom of the rock is a wide field with several big trees growing on it. The cloud cover is lush, but it cannot be named.Under the tree, a red horse was chasing and fighting a young man.The young man's toes were on the ground, he jumped up into the air, the sword in his hand was shining brightly, and he covered the red horse with his head and face covered.

Chiju let out a sad hiss, and backed three steps involuntarily, the young man touched the old tree with his toes, turned his body in the air, and a sword qi struck Chiju again.Chiju learned his lesson this time, and hastily jumped and dodged away.Unexpectedly, there was no trace of the boy in front of him. Chiju knew something was wrong, turned around hastily, only to see the young man's fingertips burst into light, and three sword auras appeared, rushing towards the sword tip like lightning.This move of his is extremely powerful, and his true energy is surging, like three wrathful dragons, flying down the sky and cracking the ground.Knowing that he was invincible, the red horse neighed in the sky, and reluctantly lay down on the ground.

After a fierce fight, beads of sweat dripped from its body, like rouge and red blood, dripping on the grass below it, dyeing the green grass brilliantly. The boy smiled and said, "Hong'er, you can't beat me, right?" Chiju Hong'er raised her head and screamed, and the young man said: "Why, you said you still have kung fu and haven't used it yet? Do you know that my Taiyi Sanqing sword is the secret of our Wudang. I love it in Master Professor, I have only comprehended the first level. If I hadn't kept my hand, it would be no wonder that you would not break your bones after using this move!"

The Taoist saw this scene from a distance, smiled and nodded, as if praising the young man's swordsmanship, he waved his hand downwards and said, "Jian'er, come up." The boy immediately stopped chasing and beating, raised his head and said, "Master." Hong'er also barely stood up, sniffed and yelled at the boy.The young man jumped up, and the red horse and red shadow jumped into the air, climbing up the rock in an instant, and rushed to the Taoist. The young man got off his horse and saluted, and said, "Master." The Taoist said: "Master saw that your martial arts have improved, can you beat Hong'er?"

There was a gleam of joy on the boy's face, and he said, "This is the first time this apprentice has won against Hong'er in the past three years." The Taoist said with a smile: "Then how about we bet today that you can't win Hong'er?" The young man was overjoyed and said: "It seems that Master is going to lose to me once." The Taoist smiled and said: "As a teacher, it is very comforting to be able to teach good apprentices. What's the matter if you lose once? Come on!" The two of them came to the open ground together.The Taoist said: "Although you haven't won once in the past few years, you don't think Master is unfair, disciple?"

The young man shook his head and said, "It's because the disciple didn't work hard enough, but the master is very fair." The Taoist said: "You can rest assured as a teacher like this. If you beat Hong'er, you will be regarded as a teacher and lose. Alright, let's start!" The young man let out a clear whistle, and pulled a sword flower. The long sword revealed a gleam of light, and the sword energy formed instantly, and rushed towards Hong'er.The Taoist hurriedly said: "Wait!" The boy stopped his hands and asked doubtfully, "Didn't Master say it's started?"

The Taoist said with a smile: "The beginning is the beginning, but this is not a sword fight, but a race! Whoever can circle the mountain first will win!" Hong'er hissed happily, and rushed out first.It is a natural spiritual creature, and this kind of running and sprinting is exactly what it is good at.The young man just froze for a moment, before Hong'er galloped several dozen feet away. The Taoist said coldly: "If you don't play again, it will be regarded as an automatic forfeit. Once you forfeit, you will lose the entire game!" The boy had no choice but to fly up and chase after him.Hong'er had already run so far that she was only a small shadow, but where could he catch up?Seeing that the mountains were covered with green trees, Hong'er's shadow was about to be drowned in an instant.The young man suddenly had an idea, and with a clear whistle, his body jumped up like light smoke, his toes tapped a few points on the old tree, and he had already climbed to the top of the old tree.When he was flying in the air, his internal breath circulated, the clear air circled around his chest, and he spewed out a mouthful of stale air, and the tip was immediately sank under his foot.The young man drew his breath back a little, the treetops rebounded suddenly, he soared into the sky again, and after several vertical and downward falls, Hong'er's shadow was already clearly visible!

Hong'er seemed to be aroused to be competitive too, with a hiss of joy, her body seemed to fly like clouds and electricity, her four legs almost rose into the air, this exertion left the boy far behind.The young man tried his best to catch up, and within half an hour of one person and one horse, they circled the mountain.Although the young man stretched the treetops and felt very relieved, his internal energy was almost exhausted, and when he ran back, he was so tired that he almost collapsed.However, Hong'er had been waiting on the rock for a long time, and seeing him come back, she hissed proudly, as if announcing his defeat.

The boy refused to accept it and said, "It's not fair! I'm a human being, how can I outrun a horse?" The Taoist smiled and said: "As long as you start, it proves that you agree with the game. All reasons are reasons before the game, but after the game, especially after the game is lost, it will only be an excuse instead of a reason. !" The young man looked at the triumphant Chiju unwillingly. He knew that his master was making unreasonable words, but he couldn't think of a way to refute. The Taoist stepped on the red horse triumphantly, and said with a smile: "Disciple, you lost again, so I still want you to cook today! Remember, there must be wine today!" Amidst loud laughter, one person and one horse rushed into the room. Into the thick green depths of Wudang Mountain.

Only the boy was left alone, dragging his tired body, and facing a long and miserable task of cooking. This is the only piece of pure land in the vast world of Shaoxing for four years, but it is not free from suffering. In the middle of the scorching sun, the food was placed on the table. Of course there is wine, monkey wine.Most of the monkeys in the deep mountains are addicted to wine, and there are no people in the mountains, so they accumulate fruits and let them ferment into wine by themselves.The monkeys are quick and agile, and the fruits they pick are mostly rare and rare. The spring is deep and clean, so although the brewing technique is simple, the wine is extremely mellow and fragrant.The boy turned over three hills in a row before he stole a full jar.Taoist and Hong'er both like this monkey wine, and often send young people to fetch it. These monkeys have also learned how to behave, and the wine is hidden more and more, and more and more monkeys are guarding it.The civilian clothes on the young man became more and more torn.

The meals are very simple, just fruits, vegetables and mushrooms from the mountains.Wudang is a Taoist school. Although it is not as strict as Buddhism, it also pays attention to purity of heart and asceticism, benevolence and virtue. Therefore, when living in the mountains, they will never kill animals, and they will eat wild celery and vegetables.The young man poured a bowl of wine for the master, filled a bowl of rice himself, and said, "Master, let's eat." The Taoist raised the bowl to drink, but sighed again, and said to the young man, "You have been in Wudang Mountain for five years. Now that the martial arts are complete, it's time to go down the mountain to practice and spread the Wudang faction. Our Wudang faction is the largest in the world, you can't lose the prestige of our faction." The young man said: "Master always said that Wudang is the biggest sect in the world. Why do you only see Master and disciple when you walk all over Wudang Mountain?" The Taoist sighed, and said: "Wudang is indeed the largest sect in the world. Our martial arts are unique and powerful, which is beyond the reach of other sects. Especially during the Northern Song Dynasty, our sect was the most powerful, and our disciples almost It accounts for half of the people who learn martial arts, and everyone has unique knowledge, and they have overshadowed Shaolin, Emei, Beggars, Tangmen, and the Five Poisons. But because this school is too domineering, it finally angered the other six. Pai. The six factions teamed up to besiege Wudang, and in a big battle, almost all Wudang factions were wiped out, leaving you and me alone!" The more the Taoist talked, the more desolate his expression became. He raised his bowl and drank a glass of wine, and said: "So you are the big disciple of our sect, and I will pass on the headship to you today. You go down the mountain to experience, but don't lose our Wudang No. 1 disciple." A lot of face." The young man hurriedly said: "No, master, I am young and short-sighted, how can I take on the important task of being the head?" The Taoist waved his hand and said: "It's okay, anyway, there are only two of us in Wudang, I have no objection, that is, the whole faction has no objection. Besides, isn't the head of the sect just to take care of the disciples? You just need to cook for Hong'er and me, Clean the house well, and you will be a good leader! Disciple, do your best, Master is very optimistic about you!" Hong'er hissed happily, expressing her agreement. The Taoist said: "After this meal, you can go down the mountain. The rivers and lakes are dangerous, and the Jin army swept across the Central Plains. You have to be careful." Thinking of the five-year reunion, the young man couldn't help his eyes turning red once he parted, and he choked up and said, "Master, you have to take care too!" The Taoist said: "It's okay, I will follow you down the mountain, eat well and wear well, there is nothing to take care of." The young man was stunned and said, "Master is going down the mountain too?" The Taoist said: "Naturally! Why don't you and Hong'er both go away, what do you wear for the teacher? What do you eat? The teacher brought you up with great difficulty, and you go down the mountain without taking the teacher with you? You heartless thing !" The two carried simple packages on their backs and looked back at the small hut where they had lived for so many years.The Taoist sighed softly: "Jian'er, don't look at it any more. Hong'er drank too much and got drunk. This hut will be demolished soon. Let's go! If the old one doesn't go, won't the new one come?" !" There was a whistling sound of excitement from the hut, and with a bang, the pillar in the middle broke in two, and a red shadow flew out, and then submerged into the soaring smoke and dust.There was a trace of regret in the boy's eyes, he turned around and walked out facing the rising sun. From then on, it was the rivers and lakes. The young man's surname is Dugu, and his single name is "Jian". He was adopted by his master Gui Yinzi since he was a child, and lived in the mountains for more than ten years.Five years ago, he formally became a disciple of Wudang and learned Wudang swordsmanship.Apart from occasionally exchanging some salt tea with the hunters down the mountain, he hardly ever goes down the mountain. Now he was suddenly asked to go down the mountain to practice, but he really didn't know where to go.Standing at the foot of Wudang Mountain, he couldn't help but feel a little dazed. He habitually asked, "Master, where should we go?" Gui Yinzi said leisurely, "You shouldn't be asking me that." Dugu Jian didn't understand what Master meant, and looked at him in confusion. Gui Yinzi looked up at the sky, and said inscrutablely: "There is only one person in this world who claims to be omniscient and omniscient, and that is Master Dajue of Mount Emei. If you have anything, you should ask him, not me." Dugu Jian was even more confused: "Where can I find him?" Gui Yinzi smiled: "Let's go to Master Dajue now. He is my old friend. I haven't been in the Jianghu these years, and I don't know much about the world. Master has a few puzzles. I just asked him to figure it out. I just don't know. Is his innate divine calculation still so accurate?" Dugu Jian nodded, took out the map, drew a line along Wudang to Emei, and said, "Master, it's a long way to Emei." Gui Yinzi didn't look at the map, but shook his head and said, "We martial arts practitioners, are we still afraid of this distance? Master is an old bone, and it's not far away!" Indeed, it is not far, because Master Dajue does not live on Mount Emei, but on Mount Wudang. Gui Yinzi pointed out: "Passing through this forest, you will be the residence of Master Dajue. Do you know that there are two forbidden places in Jianghu?" Dugu Jian shook his head and said, "I don't know." Gui Yinzi said: "The first forbidden place is the back mountain of Wudang where our Wudang sect lives. Have you seen anyone else on the back mountain these years? Have you? That's because the master's reputation is so famous in the martial arts world. The low ones ran away when they saw the master. Over time, the Wudang back mountain where the master retired became the first forbidden place in the martial arts. The second forbidden place is the Wudang mountain where Master Dajue lived. Dajue The Venerable Master's innate magic skill is good at knowing the past life and the future life, karmic reincarnation, the destiny of the upper body, and sympathy for the people's livelihood. The most avoid disturbing, so the surroundings where he lives are absolutely uninhabited. People in the rivers and lakes know his taboos, so they dare not create So it has become the second most forbidden place in Jianghu. Speaking of Master Dajue’s forbidden place, people in Jianghu let him go, and Master’s forbidden place is because people in Jianghu are afraid of us. There is a difference." Gui Yinzi talked endlessly, but Dugu Jian had never heard of it, so he listened obediently. The two master and apprentice talked and walked into this dense forest.In the dense green air, the sun suddenly dimmed.The forest is full of peach trees, it is late spring, the peach blossoms are everywhere, the red mud is faint, but the branches are green.In the depths of the peach blossoms, there is a small stone tablet with a few seal characters written on it: "Worryless Forest." Gui Yinzi said: "Do you see what is a forbidden area? Look at this mountain road covered with moss, and no one has set foot in it for at least three years. Forbidden area, this is the power of deterrence!" Dugu Jian didn't understand why no one came is the deterrent force, he nodded indiscriminately, and suddenly shouted: "Master, look, there are people!" Gui Yinzi blushed and shouted, "Where is it?" At Dugu Jian's finger, he saw two people kneeling on the side of the road not far away, facing the dirt. Gui Yinzi frowned and said: "These two people don't know what to ask Master Dajue, but they dare not go up the mountain, so they just kneel here and wait for Master Dajue to call. This is the power of deterrence!" The two approached slowly, Dugu Jian suddenly smelled a bloody smell, he looked at the two, but couldn't help but turn pale with shock. The two people sat kneeling opposite each other, with their heads drooping, their long hair loosened all the way to the ground, and the hairlines of their clothes were covered with bright red peach blossoms, and the blue color of the mountains surrounded them, setting off the scene incomparably tranquil Leisurely - like the legendary masters playing chess in the mountains. However, the faint blood turned the tranquility and leisure into a ghostly aura in an instant - a blood hole was opened on the top of the heads of the two with loose long hair. The trickle flowed straight to the ground where they were kneeling, spreading out a dark red arc. They are a man and a woman. Although they have been dead for a long time, they still look like life. Two blue plants spread out from the blood holes on the top of their heads, slowly climbing on their bodies, and outline a path. A strange totem, with graceful branches, from the neck to the shoulders, then to the chest, back and abdomen, and finally along the kneeling legs, deep into the soil. The very thin blood stream also extended along the vines into the soil. The scarlet blood intertwined with the emerald green vines formed a shocking pattern, like a bloody demon lotus blooming in purgatory. Gorgeous flowers bloomed on the two stiff bodies. The blood is like two endless streams, gradually merging together, matching with the boundless green trees, setting off the desolation of the world. Dugu Jian frowned tightly, and Gui Yinzi couldn't help muttering: "Who killed these two people, and why did they make them look like this?" Dugu Jian suddenly said: "Master, there are words here!" It was written in blood, tightly surrounding the kneeling bodies of the two people. On the left side of the man wrote: "It is said that all fools are born by fate and do not know how to do it", and on the right side of the woman wrote: "You Yin Karma, consciousness flows continuously, like flames, going to the other destination, relying on the attachment, rushing to the reborn, and reborn into a body." Gui Yinzi looked in the direction of the words, and saw the two hands tightly clenched. On the chest, the thumb of the man on the left points to the woman on the right, while the thumb of the woman on the right points to the top of the mountain.What they held tightly in their hands was a seven-star piercing needle. The Seven Star Penetrating Bone Needle is a hidden weapon, known as the Tang Sect hidden weapon in the world. Gui Yinzi frowned and said, "Who killed the people from the Tang Sect here?" He thought about it carefully, but he couldn't remember that Master Dajue had ever offended anyone.Master Dajue has been in heaven for a long time, not to mention offending others, he has met very few people in his life, so how could he have any enemies?If it is said that this person blamed him, it would not take such a big effort.Gui Yinzi thought about it, but couldn't think of a reason, and said: "Let's go up and talk about it." The two walked along the mountain road to the top of the mountain.Dugu Jian couldn't help but look back, the mountain wind blew past, and the long hair of the two of them lifted up, revealing the faces that looked like life, and the two faces seemed to be smiling, quiet and peaceful, as if What one faces at the moment of dying is not endless pain and fear, but freedom and liberation. This smile looks very strange in the faint green of the peach forest. His heart couldn't help trembling, and he quickly followed the master. Gui Yinzi's footsteps suddenly stopped, his eyes stared straight ahead, as if he had seen something horrifying. Dugu Jian followed his gaze and couldn't help but exclaim. On the side of the road not far away, there were two kneeling corpses, still a man and a woman, still lifelike, with a blood hole in the middle of their heads, scarlet blood and emerald green vines climbing from their bodies Under the ground, complex and mysterious lines are intertwined on the body and the ground. Gui Yinzi was stunned, and finally stepped forward to examine it carefully. The death form is exactly the same, and the difference from the previous two is that the words written beside them are: "In this interest, there is fame and lust." "In this way, when name and form gradually mature, they have eyes and other roots, which are said to be the six bases." The two hands are still clasped in front of their chests, holding two green bamboos, the man's hand is still pointing to the woman, and the woman's finger is pointing to the top of the mountain. Gui Yinzi's face was heavy, and he said slowly: "These blood characters are the scriptures of "Jushe Lun"." Dugu Jiandao: "These two dead people seem to be holding dog-beating sticks from the beggar gang." Gui Yinzi nodded slowly and said, "Let's go up." Dugu Jian hesitated, and asked, "Will there be corpses on it?" Gui Yinzi's expression changed, but he didn't speak.
