Before the young Taoist Li Nianshan finished washing the clothes, he let Li Baizhu go down the mountain to purchase the things needed for him. After he washed and put all the clothes out to dry in the sun, he tidied up and turned around to close the door of the bamboo cottage. Then he went down the mountain.
He originally planned to go down the mountain to see a girl and purchase things by the way, but since Li Baizhu offered to do it for him, he saved the time to buy things and just needed to see that girl.
At the mention of this girl, in fact, Li Nianshan had a lot to say. When he saw her on the mountain for the first time that year, he was just a teenager, and he seemed to plant a seed in his heart. In the beginning, he didn’t consider if it had rooted and sprouted, yet after he saw her on the mountain again in half a year, he realized that it had rooted and sprouted. However, he was timid that year and his master pinned his hope on him, so he hid his fe
After the temple owner said okay, he turned to Yang Haizhi next to him while smiling. “We will have a fight. If we destroy your Qing Temple, please forgive us.”Yang Haizhi shook his head with a bitter smile. “This is the estate built up by the founder. Sir, please show mercy.”The temple owner stood up and didn’t look serious but sighed with emotion peacefully. “Qing Temple is a good place, much better than Yuwu Mountain. I am unwilling to destroy it, yet if I go down the mountain in person to see him, don’t you think that I flatter him too much?”Yang Haizhi looked at the mountainside. After they came up the mountain, the temple owner told him that this swordsman was at a high stage and almost finished the Revelation Stage. If the temple owner was at the peak of his strength as usual, he would think that it was rare yet he wouldn’t take it seriously. However, at the moment, the temple owner’s soul came out of his body and left Chenxie Mountai
When Xian Chunan climbed up the mountain and pressed the handle of the sword Hidden Fish all the way, the old Taoist Yu Zhen from Shouye Temple and the young teacher Li Jingle from Luoshui Academy started to climb up. Both of them were cultivators at the Sanctification Stage. Before they reached the mountainside, they felt the sword intent on the mountain, which was well-proportioned and moderate. As the Confucian cultivators said, a swordsman’s character could be seen from his sword intent. A swordsman with such sword intent must be a gentleman no matter if he practiced swordsmanship.The old Taoist Yu Zhen looked solemn. He kept silent for a long while and then said in a low voice, “He is a swordsman at a high stage, and it appears that his sword intent is full and still being accumulated. It seems that he is going to unsheathe his sword. Mr. Li, which stage do you think this swordsman is at?”Li Jingle frowned and thought for a long time. Then he replied
When both parties of the same stage fought against each other, in all people’s opinion, the cultivator was courting death if he was less than three meters away from the swordsman. After all, according to the killing force of the swordsmen, it was an inevitable result.But at the moment, Xian Chunan who was close to the Revelation Stage fought against the temple owner at the peak of the Ascending Stage, and he was much inferior to the latter. Although he made an out-of-body wandering and was seriously injured on Yuwu Mountain, anyway, he was the real number one Taoist and knew many Taoist skills. Xian Chunan, a swordsman at the Dawning Stage was no match for him. So after he wielded the sword, the temple owner didn’t even reach out his hand but just let the sword come near him. Not until then did he drive the colorful long river to stop it.Xian Chunan’s short sword dashed to the temple owner’s colorful long river. In an instant, the long river was dazzling
The last strike on the mountain path seemed to be not powerful, but in fact, it caused aftermath in silence, and almost everything on the mountain path was affected. After the temple owner withdrew his colorful long river, the strike’s aftermath spread, and many trees on both sides of the mountain path were cut off.Countless trees fell down suddenly and Li Jingle who hadn’t reached the foot of the mountain frowned after seeing the scenery. The power of the strike of this swordsman at the Dawning Stage was much stronger than he had evaluated.However, after only one strike, the sword Qi couldn’t be felt anymore, so Li Jingle was more astonished. He wouldn’t be surprised if a swordsman at this stage killed any Taoist on the mountain randomly at one blow, yet now there was no sound on the mountain, while the swordsman had sheathed his sword. Did somebody resist this strike? But would a swordsman at this stage be stopped by a Taoist on this mountain?
In fact, the common people in society didn’t know much about the cultivators on mountains, and they just knew that the cultivators could move mountains and fill seas and decided a person’s life or death randomly. They didn’t dare to say how the cultivators did that, but in their eyes, these were skills of immortals.The old owner of Shouye Temple was one of the top ten cultivators at the border of Dayu and was even the top one among the Taoists at the border. It was said in the early years that the old temple owner whose lifelong wish was to defeat demons had finished the Sanctification Stage and entered the Dawning Stage long ago. If it was true, it confirmed that he was the top Taoist at the border of Dayu, but nobody saw this old temple owner take actions in the past several decades, and in fact, the other cultivators at the border of Dayu were scared and uncertain about whether this old temple owner had entered the Dawning Stage or just made progress at the S
Before they played the game of Go, the temple owner moved the board into the courtyard, but he carried only one bamboo chair, so Li Nianshan across from him had to stand while playing with him.Li Nianshan didn’t say anything and just wondered how he could bring stones from the temple owner’s side and put them on the board later. As for anything else, he didn’t take it to heart. In fact, the situation was reasonable. As the leader of the Taoism sect in the world, the temple owner called Yang Haizhi’s name like a peer because he cared about their friendship, yet Li Nianshan was a young Taoist. How would he qualify to sit as equals at the same table with the temple owner? So it was normal that he stood while the temple owner was sitting.Before they started to play, the temple owner laughed heartily. “There are less excellent players among the cultivators on mountains than those in society. The host of Yuwu Mountain Ge Hong thinks that he is the number
Before the temple owner Liang Yi went down Qing Mountain carefreely, he didn’t break his promise and left the Taoist skill on the mountain. He just engraved it on the board and believed that Yang Haizhi would surely look happy after seeing it later, but Liang Yi wouldn’t see that. …It was silent on the mountaintop.Before leaving the mountain, Liang Yi did two things for Yang Haizhi. The first direct thing was to help the owner of Qing Temple hurt the old owner of Shouye Temple who came to provoke, while the second thing was secret, yet by comparison, especially Shen Changyu who was sophisticated knew what it meant.Qing Temple would have a backup, who was at a much higher stage than Shen Changyu. He might be at the Revelation Stage or Ascending Stage. If he was at the Revelation Stage, he was not so scary relatively although he was one of the top cultivators in the Taoism sect, while if he was at the Ascending Stage, not
The twenty-fourth day of the lunar fifth month, the Slight Heat.In the shabby temple at the foot of Sword Mountain, after a statue was destroyed, Liu Yibai soon put the sands in a big pot and then told Li Fuyao to cut a sword tree on the mountain. Later, he unprecedentedly used his sword Wild Grass as a tool to cut the sword tree to a memorial tablet. After he finished it, he didn’t instantly put it where the statue had been but asked Xie Lu to come to engrave some words with her sword.As for the three people at the foot of Sword Mountain, although Xie Lu always paid attention to swordsmanship and didn’t like to study anything else, it didn’t mean that this descendant of the Xie family wasn’t skilled in anything. In fact, the first senior fellow apprentice Xian Chunan who had learnt all kinds of skills was always profuse in praise for Xie Lu’s beautiful tiny handwriting and said that all the characters she wrote were full of spirit. Now that Xie Lu
