When they reached the southern slope of Wudang Mountain, the scattered tobacco had killed off the last ray of sunlight, and the huge peak seemed a little lonely. From afar, Tianzhu Peak towered into the clouds. Looking around, the seventy-two peaks towered into the nine heavens, and they all bowed their heads towards the main peak, like stars surrounding the moon, solemnly " ten thousand mountains came to pay homage." From the foot of the mountain came the Taoist music used by the Taoist priests for evening classes. The jade collided with the gold, the silk blew the bamboo, and the clouds fluttered. Shen Qi's fatigue was instantly swept away, and all the worries in his heart disappeared.
He casually picked up a branch and pointed it at the main peak of the Heavenly Pillar. The branch broke into two with a crack. He shook his head and sighed,"Pulling Clouds to See the Sun, Pulling Clouds to See the Sun…Is this move really that difficult?”
In the blink of an eye, it had been three years since he arrived in this lost world. In these three years, Shen Qi had come here every day to look at the Sky Pillar Peak. Every day, he had been learning this move,'Pulling the Clouds and Seeing the Sun'. He had already used it countless times. However, the result was the same every time. Could it be that he really had no fate with martial arts? Or was it because he came from…another world?
Thinking of this, Shen Qi's interest waned. He threw the branch in his hand down the mountain stream and leaned against a crooked pine tree. His eyes looked at the gradually rising lights at the foot of the mountain. From time to time, the disciples 'shouts of martial arts could be heard. Although it was not very loud, Shen Qi could still feel it clearly.
Wudang was a newly rising martial arts sect in Jianghu. It was in the limelight these years, and it was not difficult for it to keep up with a big sect like Shaolin. In addition to Wudang's reputation of being unchivalrous, there was also Master Zhang Sanfeng, the Big Dipper of Mount Tai in the Wulin, who was in charge of Wudang Mountain. In recent years, Wudang had been constantly receiving disciples. If it was not for Wudang's strict selection of disciples, Wudang Mountain would have been packed with people by now. Even so, Wudang Mountain was no longer the deserted mountain it used to be. Counting carefully, there were probably no less than a hundred people. Nowadays, when friends in Jianghu mentioned Wudang, they would give a thumbs up and praise, The WuTang Sect was really thriving!
A few days ago, Luo Tian, the eldest disciple of the Great Martial Uncle, officially accepted a disciple. He could be considered a person of the same generation as the Great Martial Uncle. It was really embarrassing when he thought about how his martial uncle had not even mastered a set of introductory sword techniques in the past three years.
After thinking for a while, Shen Qi remembered that her master seemed to have instructed her to go to his room tonight. She did not know what he wanted to instruct her. Seeing that it was getting late, he gathered his emotions and walked down the mountain.
"Master." Shen Qi stood outside Yu Lianzhou's door and called out softly. To be honest, Shen Qi was a little afraid to see her master. Although she knew that Yu Lianzhou's usual strictness was just to motivate her, he was the type of person who hid everything in his heart and was not good at expressing himself. However, when he thought about how his master's cultivation was the highest among the second generation of Wudang disciples, and how his eldest disciple could not even master the introductory sword technique in three years, he felt that he had embarrassed his master no matter what.
"Is it Shen Qi? Wait a moment." Yu Lianzhou replied from inside the room. She heard Sha Sha's voice and then the sound of the door opening. Then, Yu Lianzhou's lonely figure appeared in Shen Qi's eyes. She looked to be no more than 40 years old, and her thick long hair naturally fell over her chest and back. He was wearing a green robe that draped over his shoulders. His sleeves were rolled up to his elbows, revealing a section of his bronze skin. His calm expression seemed to never change. Only the occasional flash of light in his eyes made people feel that he was a little extraordinary. His entire body emitted a heavy aura like a huge mountain, making it difficult for him to breathe. In an instant, it disappeared again, appearing extremely natural and harmonious. Shen Qi could not help but wonder if there was something wrong with her senses just now.
'Master's cultivation has improved again. I wonder when I'll be able to reach such a state,' Shen Qi thought to himself.
"Did you go to the top of the mountain to watch the sunset again?" Yu Lianzhou asked calmly.
"Yes, sir!" Shen Qi lowered his head and replied softly. He followed behind Yu Lianzhou. He did not need to look to know that this was the road to the Black Tortoise Temple. That was where Third Martial Uncle Yu Daiyan lived. Every once in a while, the two of them would come to visit Yu Daiyan. However, today was not a special day, and they had only been here a few days ago. It was unusual for them to visit Yu Daiyan so frequently.
" Sigh." Yu Lianzhou sighed." This disciple of mine is good at everything. He's diligent in his martial arts and easy-going. He's very suitable to learn the Wudang Sect's martial arts." However, there seemed to be a knot in his heart that could not be resolved, causing his cultivation to not advance an inch in the past three years. He suddenly remembered that when he first met Shen Qi on the shore of the Han River three years ago, he was different from the rest. At first glance, he felt that this child was extraordinary, and in joy, he accepted him as his first disciple. In a trance, three years had passed.
Three years, Fifth Brother had been missing for five whole years. Where had he been for the past five years? Could it be that he really couldn't see the person alive or the corpse dead?
"Shen Qi, you followed me when you were nine years old. It has been three years now, right?”Yu Lianzhou suddenly asked.
"A whole three years and seventeen days. If it wasn't for Master's rescue, this disciple would have died long ago.”Shen Qi replied in a low voice.
"Child, you remember it very clearly. Master has forgotten how you looked when he first met you!”Yu Lianzhou was a little absent-minded. Whenever she thought of the Yu Daiyan she was about to meet, she would feel a little sad. Five years ago, that magnanimous and upright man could only rely on a chair to live his life. Was this God's injustice?
How could I not remember? That was my first day in this world! Shen Qi was a little confused,[Could it be that I came to this world to prove that I'm not suitable for martial arts?] Wasn't this too self-abasement? Heavens, what do you want me to do?
The master and disciple both had their own thoughts, and it was inevitably a little quiet along the way. Fortunately, Yu Lianzhou and Yu Daiyan lived not far away. When they arrived at the Black Tortoise Temple, it was just in time for the lights to be lit, and the Purple Cloud Palace not far away had just been lit up, creating a pale yellow divine color in the large palace.
"Second Uncle is here." A clear voice came from inside the room. Then, a youth who was about the same height as Shen Qi, but looked much more handsome than Shen Qi, rushed out. His black clothes made him look even more immortal. Song Yuanqiao's eldest son, Song Qingshu, bowed and greeted Second Uncle when he saw Yu Lianzhou. He then greeted Shen Qi,"Junior Brother Shen, you're here too!"”
Song Qingshu was known as the number one disciple of the third generation of Wudang disciples, second only to Chu Wenxian. Coupled with his handsome appearance and the background of the Sect Leader's father, he was considered very powerful in Wudang. It was just that he had received the dull education of the Taoist school of breaking through the void since he was young, so he did not seem to be very bossy. On the contrary, he was very good with Shen Qi, the worst disciple of Wudang. He did not have the arrogant and conceited personality that he knew from his previous life. At least, Shen Qi did not feel that Song Qingshu was anything bad.
"It's Senior Brother Song! So you've already arrived." Shen Qi's mood was originally a little lonely, but he managed to pull himself together when he saw Song Qingshu. Song Qingshu was older than Shen Qi by half a year, and every time they met, they would be extremely affectionate with each other. However, he was secretly puzzled, could it be that Mr. Jin Yong's description was wrong? This Senior Brother Song of mine is very easy to get along with. He doesn't seem to be a person who knows everything. He shouldn't be someone who would do such a foolish thing for a woman!
Song Qingshu pursed his lips and snorted." My father and the others are discussing taking in a disciple for Third Uncle-Master. They're asking for Third Uncle-Master's opinion. It's boring. Let's go out and play."”He apologized to Yu Lianzhou.
Yu Lianzhou did not intend to let Shen Qi in at first, but Song Qingshu and Shen Qi were actually very close. He could not help but nod and smile,""Don't go too far, I still have something to do with Shen Qi.”
Song Qingshu quickly agreed and pulled Shen Qi away. There were quite a number of martial brothers on Wudang Mountain, and many of them were of similar age. For some reason, Song Qingshu felt that he hit it off with Shen Qi. Every time he was with Shen Qi, he would hear unbelievable stories that he had never heard of or even thought of before.
Shen Qi rolled his eyes. He did not seem to be excited by Song Qingshu's favor. On the contrary, although he appeared to be about the same age as Song Qingshu, his actual age was more than ten years older than him. How could he be interested in playing with this young boy and hothead? "Senior Brother Song, I still have something to do!" I haven't finished the homework that Master gave me!”
Song Qingshu chuckled when he heard that. You haven't comprehended it yet? Come on…I've told you tens of thousands of times that 'Pulling the Clouds and Seeing the Sun' requires the body to be one, but you just don't listen. No wonder you can't comprehend it.”Shen Qi had been practicing the Beginner's Sword Style for three years, and it had long become a well-known fact in Wudang. Even some meddlesome people in Jianghu had spread the news, and it had become a joke among others.
Shen Qi rolled his eyes and snorted,"Don't tell me I don't know what you're telling me?" I've tried thousands of times, but every time the force reaches the back of the sword, I lose control of the direction, either hurting myself or letting go of the sword. My master has thought of countless methods to get this hand, but none of them worked.”
Song Qingshu scratched his head in confusion." Although this move,'Pulling Clouds to See the Sun', is ranked ninth among the introductory sword techniques, it's not that difficult. It's very easy for me to use it.”She thought about it and did not understand what was going on. She tugged on Shen Qi's arm and smiled obsequiously,""How about this? I'll practice with you, but after that, you have to tell me the story from last time, okay?”
Shen Qi's eyes lit up,"Although Wudang Mountain does not prohibit disciples from sparring with each other, Shen Qi has never sparred with anyone in the three years since he entered the sect." This was not to say that he, Shen Qi, was arrogant, but that no one was willing to exchange blows with such a trash. Every time, he would be the one making excuses. After a few times, Shen Qi would be disheartened. It was better to entertain himself than to be snubbed. Yu Lianzhou was not on the mountain for many years. He would occasionally return to the mountain to give Shen Qi some pointers on his internal energy, but he could only sigh at his swordsmanship. It was a rare opportunity to have someone to practice with him. He said happily,"You can't go back on your word."
