Chapter 17: Going to the Meeting
That morning, Qing Yun Sect Da Zhu Peak on everyone happy, especially the disciples, all with a smile, although there is no lack of some nervous, but also mostly drowned in excitement.
Among the people, participated in the last Qingyun door seven veins of martial arts only the eldest brother Song Daren, as well as the second Wu Daiyi, the old third Zheng Dali, the old fourth He Dazhi, as for the old five Lu Daxin, the old six Du Bishu are not easy to Tian Yi in the past few decades of the new disciples, and the young Tian Ling'er and Zhang Xiaofan, even more have not seen the Qingyun door this once in a lifetime of the big event.
Tian Ling'er was the happiest at the moment, taking advantage of the fact that Mr. and Mrs. Tian was not easy to make the final preparations, pestering the most experienced Song Daren, chirping and asking all the time, "Elder brother, will there really be that many of my fellow disciples going to the Seven Veins Martial Arts?"
Song Daren was smiling, obviously in a good mood, saying, "Yes, the Seven Veins Martial Arts is the biggest event of our sect, and all the sects and veins of the same family regard it as a top priority. And to be able to be selected to represent the various veins of the senior brothers and sisters of the same sect to go to war, all are outstanding characters, the scene of the spectacular excitement needless to say."
At this time, the fourth oldest He Da Zhi heard from the side and walked over, secretly winked at Tian Ling'er and laughed, "Junior Sister, you don't know, in fact, Eldest Senior Brother still has words left to say!"
Tian Ling'er let out a "yah", ignoring Song Da Ren's astonished face, and asked, "What? Fourth Brother?"
He Da Zhi smiled and said, "At the scene of the Martial Arts Competition, hundreds of people from the same sect will be watching, and the winner will be applauded by the thunderous applause on the stage, so the satisfaction won't be able to run away, but if there are some beautiful new young sisters from other veins who are impressed by the elegance of the eldest senior brother, and screaming and cheering, wouldn't it be even more of a great pleasure in life?" Speaking here, he turned to Song Daren with a serious face and said, "Eldest Senior Brother, do you think so or not?"
Song Daren's face suddenly turned red.
Tian Ling'er looked at him and was really strange, saying, "Eldest Brother, why are you suddenly blushing?"
Song Da Ren shook his head like a wave drum and said, "No, no, I'm not blushing..."
He Da Zhi coughed, but saw around the other brothers and sisters at some point have gathered over, the younger ones such as Du Bishu and Zhang Xiaofan are not quite sure, but Wu Dayi and Zheng Dali are all smiling.
He then laughed and said, ''Aiya! Second and third senior brothers are also here, recently my memory is not good, it seems that in the last Grand Examination, senior brother won two consecutive games into the third round, there is a young and beautiful fellow sister, eek, the name to forget..."
Wu Dayi immediately continued, "Ah! I do not remember clearly, but it seems to be a small bamboo peak of a fellow teacher sister, the appearance that is extremely beautiful, but the name..."
Zheng Dali full of smiles, said: "Name! We have forgotten, but that day in the field clapping the loudest, and the appearance of the big brother's eyes, we still remember."
"Wow!"
The crowd was in an uproar at these words, and Tian Ling'er took the lead in torturing, "Eldest Senior Brother, which fellow sister was it that actually treated you so well?"
Song Daren was filled with embarrassment, stared hard at He Da Zhi, and laughed dryly, "No, there's no such thing, don't listen to Fourth Senior Brother's nonsense, Little Bamboo Peak's Senior Sister Wen Min was only cheering and rooting a few more times for us for the sake of her senior mother."
"Huh?" He Da Zhi immediately said, "Eldest brother, that's strange, both second and third senior brothers and I don't know that person's name, why did you immediately name them? But speaking of which, Sister Wen Min was so nice to Eldest Brother..."
The crowd roared with laughter, Song Daren knew that he was out of line, and even more so, he knew that the sharpness of his words was far inferior to that of Da Zhi, the first smart person in the Great Bamboo Peak Sect, and that he was wrong to say much more.
At the moment he hummed, on the basis of thick skin, dry smile: "Boring people, hey, I'll go see master, master mother well or not?"
Tian Ling'er was still about to pursue the question, but saw Song Daren slipping faster than the wind, in a blink of an eye could not see the silhouette, only to grab He Da Zhi, watery big eyes full of excitement, said, "Fourth Senior Brother, you quickly say, that Wen Min Senior Sister in the end how does she look like?"
He Da Zhi laughed: "Junior sister, aren't you often returning to Little Bamboo Peak with your mother to visit Master Shui Yue? How come you've never seen Senior Sister Wen Min, she's Master Shui Yue's favorite disciple!"
Tian Ling'er shook her head and said, "When I go to Little Bamboo Peak with my mother, we always go directly to see Master Shui Yue, it's rare that I know a few fellow sisters, so hurry up and tell me!"
He Da Zhi laughed: "Don't be anxious, don't be anxious, today we are going to Longmen Tongtian Peak to participate in the Seven Veins Martial Arts, you will most likely be able to see her."
Tian Ling'er let out an "oh" sound, her eyes turned, as if she realized something, and said, "No wonder I woke up early in the morning and saw that Eldest Senior Brother was glowing with energy, it turns out that he is harboring evil intentions!"
The crowd was dumbfounded, and then understood, letting out a loud laugh, Tian Ling'er herself also laughed, the little bit of nervousness that she originally had about the Seven Veins Martial Arts also turned into nothing.
Her eyes moved, only to see the crowd were all smiling, in a good mood, but when she saw Zhang Xiaofan, her heart was suddenly startled, Zhang Xiaofan's face although there is a smile, but over the years Tian Ling'er and he is the closest, a glance can see that he seems to be a little distracted look.
Taking advantage of the crowd laughing and talking vigorously, Tian Ling'er secretly pulled Zhang Xiaofan aside and said in a low voice: "Xiaofan, do you have something to do?"
Zhang Xiaofan was stunned for a moment, the corners of his mouth moved, his right hand subconsciously touched his chest, and finally managed to say, "I'm fine, senior sister."
Tian Ling'er looked at him, and said in a straight line, "What is it, show me?"
Zhang Xiaofan hesitated for a moment, the bosom of the thing out, to Tian Ling'er look, Tian Ling'er do not look okay, a look but more surprised, said: "You put this black hoo-hoo burning stick with the side to do what?"
Zhang Xiaofan see Tian Ling'er face full of surprise, but even if the appearance with a little anger, but also that beautiful, nah, said: "Master grace, let me also go to see a little bit, my cultivation is shallow, not much magic treasure, will not use..."
Tian Ling'er suddenly realized, but couldn't help but lose her voice and laugh, saying, "Ah! Oh, that's right! So you're going to take this, this burning stick to the Seven Veins Martial Arts? Qingyun door two thousand years, out of a refining dice magic treasure of the sixth brother was already odd, did not think, did not think you, you actually, actually brought a fire stick to go... hahahahaha, I, laughed me to death."
Standing to the side of the Great Bamboo Peak disciples heard Tian Ling'er suddenly laughing vigorously, have come over, asked the reason, can not help but another burst of laughter, Zhang Xiaofan eyes around are smiling, happy senior brothers and sisters, but the heart suddenly a burst of anger.
This anger in his deep heart blinked, but it was so strong that it almost made Zhang Xiaofan choke on it.
He lowered his head and tightened his grip on the ugly burning stick, that familiar coldness traveling up to his palm.
"Xiaofan," Tian Ling'er suddenly put away her smile and said with a straight face, "I'm sorry."
Zhang Xiaofan's body shook and raised his head.
Tian Ling'er said, "I originally wanted to give you a treasure to hold up the facade, lest you go out and be laughed at by other fellow disciples. But these days, Mother pushed me too hard to cultivate, so I forgot about it."
Zhang Xiaofan subconsciously shook his head and said, "Elder sister, your cultivation is important, you don't need to think about me anymore."
Tian Ling'er patted his shoulder and smiled, "But it's not a big deal, everyone knows about your skills, so this trip will be considered as a chance to see more." She lowered her voice, "If anyone bullies you, you must come over and talk to me, hmm, I'll immediately stand up for you."
Zhang Xiaofan looked at his senior sister's cordial gaze, not doubting her promise in the slightest, and even the goodwill in the words of everyone around him, he could feel it.
But, but, what emotion was still so surging, what kind of flame was burning so brightly in his deep heart that it almost made it impossible for him to breathe?
Tian Ling'er was still smiling, patting the shoulder of this little junior brother who was her favorite, and said quietly, ''Tell you what! There are so many fun places on Tongtian Peak, let's sneak away to play this time, okay?"
Zhang Xiaofan in front of his eyes shook that beautiful face, suddenly did not dare to look directly at her face, lowered his head, the heart is sweet, and troublesome, juvenile heart, as if a hundred feelings, whispered: "Yes, senior sister."
Tian Ling'er spread her face and smiled, when she suddenly heard He Da Zhi say behind her, "Master and Senior Sister are here."
Everyone turned to look, only to see that from the Hall of Silence Keeping, Tian Yiqiu and Su Ru walked out. Tian not easy in a sky blue robe, the temperament is quite solemn, if not a little shorter body, stomach and slightly larger, really have people respect the sect master style.
As for Su Ru, is to let the crowd light up, plain on the posture of her, today a light green dress, head of jade skeleton flower, gold hairpin head, eyebrow as far as the mountains contain Dai, skin like congealed fat white jade, eyes like water, red lips with a smile, really is dumping beings.
Song Daren followed behind his couple, his face is no more serious. Only the crowd of disciples saw him, each face will float up not serious, seem to smile and not smile odd expression.
Behind Song Da Ren, the yellow dog Da Huang and the monkey Xiao Grey also followed him out. Little gray now seems to have gotten used to sitting on the back of rhubarb, at this time as soon as he saw Zhang Xiaofan standing in front, "squeak squeak squeak" barked a few times, jumped off the back of rhubarb, scurried to Zhang Xiaofan here, jumped up on his shoulders in three times.
Tian Yuxi looked at the disciples, nodded, and said, "Let's go!"
After saying that, he waved his right hand, palm of the magic formula lead, red light flashed, his prestigious immortal sword "Red Spirit" sacrificed, red aura of ten thousand feet, the end of the immortal family's most precious treasure.
Tian is not easy to step forward, suddenly the pants were pulled a bit, look back, but by the big yellow bite, only to see this yellow dog he raised from childhood shook his head, mouth "oooh" (biting the pants) barking, tail wagging vigorously, a pair of dog's eyes are blinking, staring at the Tian is not easy to see.
Tian not easy to hesitate for a moment, mouth vaguely said a sentence, but still a wave of the sleeve, will be big yellow rolled up, and then floated to the Red Spirit Sword, and Su Ru greeted, when the first to break the sky and go.
Su Ru lightly laughed and shook her head, saying to the crowd, "You guys come too!" After a pause, she said to Song Daren, "Daren, Xiaofan's cultivation is not enough, so you take him with you."
Song Daren nodded and said, "Yes."
Su Ru nodded, and without seeing how she made a gesture, a light green light flashed, as if it matched her clothes, carrying her straight up into the sky, chasing after Tian Yiqian's red light.
Big Bamboo Peak crowd of disciples, Wu Dayi, Zheng Dali and Lu Daxin cultivation also did not reach the fourth layer, can not drive the magic treasure, at that moment, Song Daren towards Zhang Xiaofan, the rest of He Da Zhi, Du Bishu and Tian Ling'er a person with one, each on their own way.
Among the people, Tian Ling'er's magic treasure is "amber Zhu Aya", He Da Zhi cultivation of magic treasure is a branch of the "Jiangshan Pen", but very suitable for his habit of love of books, but the most hilarious than the old six Du Bishu's dice magic treasure, once sacrificed, the white light flashes at, the three Once sacrificed, the white light flashed, the three dice were enlarged ten times, spinning in the air, all kinds of numbers appeared one after another, if the world's gambling tools, there is nothing too much.
Old five Lu Daxin cautiously went up to take a closer look, and said to Du Bishu with a bitter face: "Old six, this thing of yours won't fall down from the sky, right?"
Du Bishu raised his eyebrows and smiled playfully, "Fifth Brother, why don't we make a bet, if it falls from the sky, then you win, and I will..."
Lu Daxin said, "How dare I win this bet?"
Du Bishu froze and said, "That's true!"
Song Daren walked up to Zhang Xiaofan and smiled, "Xiaofan, are you ready?"
Zhang Xiaofan was about to nod his head, but suddenly the monkey on his shoulder, Little Grey, screamed, and the two of them were taken aback, but they saw Little Grey pointing to the sky for a while, and pointing at Zhang Xiaofan to point at himself, Zhang Xiaofan froze for a moment, and said, "You're going too?"
Little Ash immediately grinned, Zhang Xiaofan hesitated and looked at Song Daren, Song Daren thought about it and laughed, "Anyway, Master has taken Big Yellow, let's take Little Ash too!"
Zhang Xiaofan's heart rejoiced and nodded, Little Ash was even more joyful.
Song Da Ren turned to the rest of the group and said, "Let's go too! Otherwise we'll be late and Master will scold us again." The people agreed and each rode away with their own magic treasures, and Tian Ling'er even went to Zhang Xiaofan's side on her way out and urged, "Be careful! Be sure to hold on to senior brother."
Zhang Xiaofan nodded and said, "Got it, senior sister."
Tian Ling'er smiled at him, and with a single pull of her spell, the amber vermilion damask's haze burst forth and broke through the air. Song Daren then offered up his own magic immortal sword, Ten Tigers.
He was the eldest disciple of the Great Bamboo Peak lineage, and although his fellow disciples practiced different magic treasures, he still practiced the immortal sword.
"Ten Tigers" immortal sword is yellow in color, four feet long, three fingers wide, in the immortal sword size is considered relatively large, but unfortunately, the power of the magic weapon can not be calculated by the size.
At that moment, Song Daren pulled Zhang Xiaofan up, Zhang Xiaofan previously had a ride on Tian Ling'er Amber Zhu Aya's experience, into the foot of the "Ten Tigers" down a sinking, and then stabilized, he was not too alarmed, but the monkey little gray seems to know what, tightly grasped Zhang Xiaofan's head.
Song Daren smiled faintly and said, "Junior Brother, let's go."
Said, his right hand magic trick to the sky, only to hear the "ten tigers" immortal sword sword body issued a low vibration, the original flat floating in the ground one foot immortal sword suddenly rose three feet, Zhang Xiaofan subconsciously grabbed tight to Song Daren.
At this time, a mountain wind blowing, "ten tigers" sword sword tip slowly upward warping, to about have warped seven points, Zhang Xiaofan completely rely on tightly pulling the Song Daren not to fall down when, a sharp whistle sounded, "ten tigers" straight to the sky rushed up.
Zhang Xiaofan stood on top of the immortal sword, holding Song Daren tightly, although the heart is nervous, but no matter how, can not close their eyes.
Just see the big bamboo peak verdant peaks away from their own more and more far, suddenly in front of my eyes a white, a white, actually penetrated into the thick white clouds, can no longer see what things.
At this time up and down before and after are blank cloud gas, the wind whistling non-stop, scraping face pain, Zhang Xiaofan body slightly trembling, half nervous, half excited.
Ride in the blue sky and white clouds, this is what a dream!
The sea of clouds, I do not know how long the line, just when Zhang Xiaofan mood slowly to calm down, as if to surprise him once again, "ten tigers" immortal sword in the air in the sharp whistling sound, rushed out of the sea of clouds.
The boundless blue sky, like an inverted deep sea, was so blue that it was almost pure, boundless and magnificent.
When they rushed out of the sea of clouds, the white clouds under their feet seemed to be like splashes of water, along with their momentum of going to the long clouds of gas, seemingly reluctant to part, and like a big river waves, floating up in mid-air, and then slowly fall back into the sea of clouds.
The sky is like a wash, the "Ten Tigers" immortal sword rises up to the sky, until from the feet of the vast sea of clouds has a height of almost three hundred feet, Song Daren only put the sword body flat, began to the direction of the Tongtian Peak straight away.
In the distance, a majestic peak that towered into the clouds, no, towered into the sky, stood proudly. There, where the white clouds drifted, there was a faint sound of bells echoing in this vaulted heaven and earth.
Tongtian Peak, as if it really led to the blue sky.
Zhang Xiaofan held his breath and looked into the distance, under the boundless green sky, beside the majestic mountain peaks, there were countless colorful rays of light flying and lingering, and the closer he got to Tongtian Peak, the denser these rays of light became.
Zhang Xiaofan knows that those are the disciples in the Qingyun door to drive with the magic treasure, because of the magic treasure of the five elements and have a variety of different colors, look colorful, extremely beautiful.
But see these road light such as colorful stone rain, have surged to the peak, the scene is spectacular.
And they and the "ten tigers" immortal sword together, also quickly into this colorful flood.
※※※
Accompanied by the whistling sound, Song Daren led Zhang Xiaofan to land on a huge square with his sword. Once on the ground, the monkey Little Gray looked around, then jumped off Zhang Xiaofan's shoulder and jumped around in the square, excited.
Zhang Xiaofan also do not care about it, look around, only to see here white jade for the fence, immortal gas burst, the square in the center of the nine large copper tripods, into the number of three-three placed in the middle. The most surprising thing is that above this square, the clouds steam, walking as in the clouds, so that people have the feeling of becoming immortal.
Zhang Xiaofan look in the eyes, doubly familiar, remembered that this is when he first went to the green cloud mountain to the so-called "six scenes of the green cloud" in the "sea of clouds".
Five years have not seen, here as always, there is no change, still so beautiful and ethereal, but today is more lively than five years ago.
Above the square, at the moment is already lively, the disciples of the Qingyun door to participate in the seven veins of the martial arts is estimated to be temporarily parked here, from a distance, the heads of people towering, afraid not hundreds of people.
Standing in this square characters, most dressed in Qing Yun door clothing, there are Taoist and secular, there are men and women, of which the younger generation in particular, the heroic people in the more than one, can be seen over the years the Qing Yun door inspirational, vigorously cultivate young disciples.
Although there were hundreds of people standing in the square, it still appeared spacious.
Song Daren raised his eyes and looked around, when he suddenly heard a crisp voice in the distance shout, "Eldest Brother, we're here."
Song Daren and Zhang Xiaofan looked over, it was none other than the Great Bamboo Peak crowd, the one who shouted was, needless to say, Tian Ling'er, who was waving her hand at them as they stood next to a huge bronze tripod in the middle of the square.
Song Da Ren answered and walked over with Zhang Xiaofan.
Along the way, Zhang Xiaofan looked around, only to see that the other disciples of various veins in the square were standing together in groups of three to five, each looking excitedly talking about something, thinking that all of them were full of anticipation for the upcoming martial arts test!
When they came to the front, He Da Zhi, who was standing behind Tian Ling'er, first said, "Eldest senior brother, this journey is still smooth, right?"
Song Da Ren smiled, "This isn't the first time I've been here, what else could happen?"
Tian Ling'er glanced at Zhang Xiaofan and smiled, "Xiaofan, the scenery on the road is alright, right?"
Zhang Xiaofan recalled the spectacular to the point of moving scenery above the green sky just now and said sincerely, "Beautiful."
Tian Ling'er smiled cheekily, patted his shoulder, and said, "In the future, work harder on your own, and when you've refined your magic treasure and learned to travel in the air, let yourself fly up to the green sky every day to see it all."
Zhang Xiaofan didn't say anything, but with a smile on his face, he nodded heavily.
Song Da Ren looked around and said to He Da Zhi, "Fourth Senior Brother, where are Master and Mother and the others?"
He Da Zhi said, "A few of us followed Master and Senior Maiden here, and the elder doorway brother who received them guided Master and Senior Maiden to the Jade Clearance Temple up there, saying that the first elders of the seven veins were going to meet for a bit to discuss some details of the Great Meeting of Wushu Trials. Master instructed us to just wait here."
Song Daren nodded, then beckoned, summoned the senior brothers to his side, looked around, and lowered his voice, "Why am I looking at a lot of fresh-faced senior brothers from the other veins, you guys have been here for a while first, is there any news?"
He Da Zhi shook his head and said, "I also have this feeling, it seems that the same sect veins have taken in a lot of newcomers over the years."
Wu Dayi looked around and said, "There are quite a few newcomers, but I think that those who will compete on stage tomorrow will mostly be the same as the senior brothers who used to have profound cultivation, after all, they are still the ones with the most experience in cultivation..."
Song Daren suddenly sighed and said, "Second senior brother, it may not be so, do you still remember that young disciple Lin Jingyu who was sent by Longshou Peak to send a message two years ago?"
Wu Dayi was stunned, then fell silent, all of them looked at each other, none of them said anything, only Zhang Xiaofan suddenly had a complex emotion sweeping through his heart, it seemed to be joy, it seemed to be envy, as if it also carried a point of jealousy.
"What kind of thing is that guy?" Suddenly, someone coldly said.
The crowd was taken aback, but they saw that the one who spoke was none other than Tian Ling'er, only to see her pretty face slightly reddened, her beautiful eyes rounded, and she said hatefully, "It's just as well that he doesn't come to participate in this competition, if he dares to come, it's best to ask him to meet me, and then I'll split the difference between him and me!"
Big Bamboo Peak people look at each other, the sixth Du Bishu has always been smart, very quick reaction, laughed: "Little sister is extremely right, if there is really such a coincidence, hey, brothers, if we come to make a bet to see who loses and who wins ... ..."
"Go go go!" The oldest five standing beside him, Lu Daxin, kicked him away.
Song Daren laughed a little and was about to say something when he suddenly heard a light cough behind him, and a woman softly said, "Senior Brother Song, it's been a long time!"
