Mysterious Martial Arts: The Record of the Swordsman

Chapter 65

Since the beginning of autumn, the dawn has been on one side, and the darkness is getting earlier and earlier.

Jiang Wen, the master and his apprentice, brought the purchased goods and headed back to Dawang Peak together.Walking and walking, the sun in the sky could not stop falling, and finally only the sunset was left hanging on the top of the hill, peeking at it.

After turning around the shoal of Jiuqu River, the shade of trees on both sides covers the path darkly, and the bamboo shadows are swaying, accompanied by the rustling of the autumn wind, the empty mountain air spreads into the valley and the road, and the road ahead becomes more and more blurred .

Finally at the foot of the mountain, Jiang Wen raised his head to take a look, but stopped at the foot of Xiongfeng under the sapphire blue sky.

"It's too late to go back to the mountain before dark. Let's go to Huixianguan to place an order today."

Jiang Wen snapped his fingers, and walked out from the rock ladder of Dawang Peak, which was close at hand, and turned to another trail at the foot of the mountain under the shade of bamboo trees.

Fu Ningdie hurried away until she was out of breath, and suddenly learned that she couldn't go home, she looked at the mountain road and refused to go any further.

"Master, why don't you go back? You will be there after climbing another mountain. If you don't go up, I will go up by myself!"

Looking at Hong Wending again at this time, the child straightened his back in silence, and slowly stopped: "Ningdie, don't be willful. When Dad took me into Wuyi Mountain, I heard the merchant's advice not to travel at night, let alone climb the mountain at night." .”

Jiang Wen nodded slightly, and said to Wending: "Maybe the merchant didn't tell you that you should not go out at night even if you enter the county government. When you lived in Ma Dashan's house, did you find that it was not the watchman who was doing the watch, but singing Ksitigarbha Buddhist monk?"

Among the secluded mountain roads, no one is seen before, no one is seen behind, as if the lock of heaven and earth has fallen heavily under the mountain.But every sentence spoken by the three of them began to echo in the secluded gorge, as if a voice was calling in the depths of the forest...

Fu Ningdie shivered, she had never encountered such a scene when she was born in Gaudi.

Jiang Wen stopped and looked at Fu Ningdie with a very serious expression.

"Remember, don't turn your head when you walk on the mountain road at night."

"Because slowly, you will hear the soles of your shoes treading. The sound is always half a beat behind you, as if something is following you."

"The faster you walk, the faster the following sound will be. When you run, it will also catch up behind you. When you stop panting and look back in horror, the sound suddenly disappears. "

"At this time, you turn your head and are vigilant and dare not blink, because you are worried that the voice will follow quietly when you turn your eyes away. So you want to find a mountain road and stone wall to lean against and wait for pedestrians to pass by to strengthen your courage."

"But when you turned your twisted head back, you realized that the thing following you was not behind you."

"It's already clinging to your face..."

When Fu Ningdie heard the last word, she suddenly screamed and rushed to Jiang Wen, trembling with fear when she saw the deserted mountain road, then opened her mouth and bit her master's leg.

"Ahhh! Why are you still biting people!"

Jiang Wen picked up his apprentice with one hand and carried it on his shoulders, grinning and touching his thigh, "If you are a dog, I still have to get rabies and tetanus shots!"

The mountain road was walked slowly, and the towering mountain gate of Huixian Temple appeared at the end of the road.

Pushing open the side door of the Taoist temple familiarly, Jiang Wen greeted the little Taoist boy in the main hall, settled the two apprentices, and went around to the alchemy room in the backyard.

…………

Pushing open the wooden door of the alchemy room, there is only one oil lamp lit in the room. I don't know if there is debris in the oil or the wick is not clean. Si did not go for a long time.

The old Taoist priest sat cross-legged on the futon, his eyes seemed to be open and sometimes closed, his breathing was as light as a gossamer, and he was facing the huge picture of Wuyi's real shape, calm and serene.

"Really, are you still looking at the map? Rest for a while, okay?"

Jiang Wen ignorantly interrupted, Yuan Huazi's white beard trembled, his body moved violently, and he opened his eyes to see that Jiang Wen's eyes were bloodshot and empty, as if Yuanshen had floated out of his body.

But at this moment, a strange wind blew in outside the window, flipping the "Zhouyi Can Tong Qi Kao Yi" on the table, the handwriting between the pages twisted and twisted, as if flying out many invisible things...

But in the blink of an eye, Jiang Wen found that he seemed to be hallucinating.

The old Taoist priest Yuan Huazi in front of him was looking at him with piercing eyes, his eyes were clear and energetic, he had just woken up from the tranquility, and the manuscript on the table was turned upside down as if motionless.

"Jiang Wen, what are you doing here?"

"I got a hexagram on a whim today. If you get six or three, you can save fire and water. That is to say, there is no danger to the deer, but you can only enter the forest. A gentleman is almost as good as giving up."

"Speak human words!" The old Taoist said angrily.

"It's too late to go up the mountain, so I'll place the order." Jiang Wen replied honestly.

Yuan Huazi said in a deep voice: "If you don't have knowledge and skills, you have to leave the family to pay the bill. Can you enroll in the Dharma school, seniority, teacher inheritance, or can you recite scriptures and mantras?"

Jiang Wen, who was ridiculed for a while, was not annoyed, he sniffed the smell in the air, and said another matter without thinking.

"Really, this room smells so strong."

The alchemy room used to have a strong smell of medicine, and it took days and nights to make alchemy and cook medicine, but since the real shape of Wuyi map appeared in the room, it suddenly cleared up, like an empty study.

Today is even more strange, there is not only the sweet-scented sweet-scented osmanthus in the room, but also a strange and unknown fragrance that lasts for a long time, soaking every crack in the alchemy room.

"If you want to live, you can live there."

Yuan Huazi ignored Jiang Wen's escaping thoughts.

Jiang Wen nodded and said: "Thank you, real person. I am a man in the rivers and lakes. I know the principle of not entering the forest, and giving up when you are in the house. There are too many strange things in this mountain. It is better to have less than one more thing."

Yuanhuazi Xuling held his strength, sat cross-legged extremely upright, and spoke slowly.

"Jiang Wen, do you know an incident in "Yiyuan". Xu Xianzhi from the East China Sea was traveling through Wuyi Mountain, and saw a black dragon more than ten feet long, with fleshy horns on its head, two front feet, and no hind feet. .”

Jiang Wen was also taken aback when he heard this topic.

"The real person is actually interested in Qing Tan?"

Yuan Huazi said lightly: "Jin people are elegant and good at clarifying the meaning of words. They study rhymes and eloquence, and those who are often broken are also poor. Gradually, they also realize that empty talk is nothing but flowery algae, so they began to look for the truth of darkness. Yixi I slowly wrote down a lot of things that are quite shocking, and the old Taoist couldn't figure it out."

"It's not a good habit to talk about mysteries. I don't know what Xu Xianzhi saw in the mountains, but it must be weird."

Jiang Wen didn't answer, "Not only that, there are weird people who encounter this incident, weird people who talk about it, and even weirder people who talk about it!"

Yuan Huazi still hadn't got up, and the oil lamp was beeping slightly. The old and the young just looked at each other until Jiang Wen walked out shaking his head.

As the uninvited guest exited the alchemy room, the hut fell into emptiness again, with the same paintings, fragrances and people.

"Immortal Master Bai Yuchan said that the secret of longevity lies between the peaks of Wuyi and the loops of the Nine Curves, where fortune and misfortune depend..."

Hearing the murmur behind him, Jiang Wen sighed.Monks think of Bodhi, Taoists seek longevity, what can knights pursue?Is it peerless martial arts?Is it famous?Or is it a happy world?

For me, it is probably the glimmer of opportunity to go home.
