Chapter 203 – Ascension

Climbing up the mountain, the green bamboo sandwich road, the cool breeze, the green bird to his highness draped an out-of-season fox fur, Xu Fengyen already slender body, excellent skin, so, to this son added a lot of dusty temperament, like a wild fox escapee.

Jingan Wangfei Pei Nanwei and Murong siblings followed, the old sword god Li Chungang stayed at the foot of the mountain to guard the carriage, so he did not accompany, cheap Shu Shyi can be AWOL for once, while enjoying the bamboo sea mountains, while close and quietly measuring the back. When Pei Nanwei looked at the mountainside there is a small lake as clear as a mirror, quite stunning, especially in the center of the lake, some people build buildings and live, the lake has a bamboo raft made of nanzhu, green bamboo reflection, the wind rises the bamboo waves sound, just like a fairyland.

Xu Fengyen did not intend to disturb the owner of the bamboo building in the lake, straight towards the lake, a green graceful bamboo walk, toes gently a little, the bamboo would rather bend, has always been compared to the scholars and writers as the temperament of the wind and bones, this time in Xu Fengyen’s feet meekly curved away towards the Mirror Lake extension down, bending a subtle arc, Xu Fengyen stopped his footsteps after the pole of the bamboo from the lake surface is still more than two zhang in height. Xu Fengyen recalled Wang Chuxue’s line about last night’s rain knocking on the bamboo, but the sound of the people’s suffering? I don’t know how this little girl who is in love is doing recently? Stopped on the bamboo to look out and open, the lake bamboo building smoke curls, left the Wudi City woke up, received Chu Lushan sent a secret letter, Xu Fengyen learned that the guy riding a bull finally downhill, one has been a shocker, riding a crane Jiangnan, from the hands of Yuan Tingshan to save the big sister not to mention, but also ride that handle Lu Zu sword to fly to the Dragon Tiger Mountain, and Zhao Huang Chao thousands of miles apart put down a few words, the Dragon Pool Lotus of luck wilted nine, sensational the world, the gods can not be! The more immortal, Xu Fengyen is also not clear about this guy in the end with Lv Zu Qi Xuan frame what is involved, to His Highness, as long as this coward to big sister single-minded, and by big sister like, you Hong Wuxiang is just Wudang Mountain silent and unknown sweeping Taoist boy so what? The Xu family is located in northern Liang, swallowed 10,000 miles, 300,000 iron horsemen against a large northern Mang dynasty, has its own and family history to match the boldness.

After getting this horrifying news that is said to be discussed even in the palace, originally puzzled why Zhao Xuan Su killers, finally have some eyebrows, Kuanglu Mountain Zhao Huang Chao celestial out of body, Hui Mountain Yuan Ting Mountain, Jiangnan Road big sister assassination, the young head of the Hong washed the elephant under the Wudang, the Tianshi House Dragon Pond change of heart, Longhu Mountain Zhao Xuan Su out of the world, the Wudi City turmoil, strung together into a line, although there are certainly many of them are still not known to the private and Scheming, but the main vein is probably close, Xu Fengyen back to God, out of the corner of his eye glimpsed two cheeks red blush pink Murong Wuzhu, standing playfully at the edge of the lake peeping at himself, only to find it funny, asked: “I heard that wudi city Wang Xianzhi is stout, big ears and round eyes, whiskers such as a halberd, white hair such as snow, the gas is very ferocious, cold and hot only wear hemp clothes, rain and snow weather straw raincoat body, prefer to go to the East Sea and fight the jiaozi whale. East China Sea to kill whales. Bold smaller, look at a glance on the liver and gall.”

This problem is difficult for Murong Wuzhu, her red face whispered: “Wuzhu at that time with your highness out of the city, walking in a hurry, see not really, hope your highness forgive.”

Xu Fengyen comforted with a warm word: “This son is just a casual remark, don’t be nervous.”

In addition to Murong Wuzhu other three people, Pei Nanwei prickly very, not a little bit of awareness of the bird in the cage, almost everything is a struggle, the feeling than that in Xiangfan City, the King Consort of Jing’an also have the King Consort frame. However, in recent days, there is always Shu shy pressure, finally mastered the means of serving people, ugly face to ugly, slow stewed flavor, but so. Murong Tong Huang nature gloomy, seems to have a monstrous addiction to power, Xu Fengyen guessed that his hereditary reckless king of Beiliang established fact, far more than his own words and deeds to be more intimidating, Xu Fengyen is not too like Murong Tong Huang’s city. As for Shu Shy, the world of mankind cultivated into a fine woman, in the jianghu and the king’s house of two big dyestuff crawling and rolling, has long been the innocence of ah goodness ah to the dismantling of ah thrown to feed the dog, the chest of the infinite scenery of a good thing of a woman, since it is the life of the weight of the king’s house of the weight of the even heavier than the chest of a few two meat retainers, Xu Fengyen hooked the finger can also go to bed on the line of the pleasure of the fish and water, only then who take advantage of who do not know, Xu Fengyen is not yet horny! To this extent.

Murong Wuzhu looked to the standing on the green bamboo on the son of His Highness, eyes overflowing undisguised adoration and reverence, her emotions and thoughts are far more simple and clear than her younger brother Murong Tonghuang, Xu Fengyen had saved their siblings in the hot water, the road to see the injustice or not, push the boat with the water or not, she firmly remembered that this heavenly benevolence, from the sword state bullock all the way to the hillocks, her joys and sorrows are because of the young son in front of her and the ups and downs, especially the Inside the Wudi City, his bowl and line to the city, sitting on his knees, said endless talk endless suave, Murong Wuzhu the whole person only feel drunk, as if drinking a pot of good wine with a strange aftertaste, so far have not slowed down the spirit. Outside of Wudi City, Xu Fengyen drew his sword and split open the flesh of the old ancestor of Longhu Mountain, she was even more frightened to see him, she only had one thought at that time, if he unfortunately died, she would not want to live on. Murong Tong Huang squinted at his sister, and just looked on coldly at her emotion.

Xu Fengyen gathered fur, was about to return down the mountain, suddenly saw the bamboo door in the center of the lake slowly open, out of a lakeshore far away only to see a clear vaguely figure of a woman, even if you see a blur, but also heart thumping, Xu Fengyen around a few even Murong Tonghuang, is a great beauty, not to mention Pei Nanwei is a rouge evaluation of the beauty, but so that the mortal man drooled and envied the flora and fauna, in that the woman appeared in the field of vision after. As if in an instant was taken away most of the elegance, women than the competition face, the same as the jianghu masters of the fight, very preoccupied with the preemptive, the woman in the lake in the bamboo building, wooden hairpin plain clothes, walked to the mossy stone steps near the lake squatting, hands detained a handful of water, gently moisturize the cheeks, only then turned his head towards Xu Fengyen this side of the distant look.

She did not make a sound, just quietly looking at this group of uninvited guests, she always empty valley orchid, the world of independence. Xu Fengnian, who was dressed in brocade and fox fur, was stunned, his eyes flashed through a trance, and he hesitated for the first time in his life. Pei Nanwei frowned, vaguely unhappy, not to compete with the strange woman who has never been seen, but she has always been conceited of her own posture, rare enemy, the bamboo building that came out of nowhere, ultimately letting Princess Jing’an give birth to some instinctive sense of crisis, it is true that as long as there are people, where there is no jianghu? Xu Fengnian long exhaled a breath, waved his hand to indicate that Shu Shy and others do not make a move, from the foot of the pole on the bamboo ejected to the raft, no need to support the raft, the bamboo raft cut through the water waves, leisurely sailing to the center of the lake, the raft away from the green bamboo building three feet away from the stop, the woman stood up, with Xu Fengnian eye-to-eye, her sideburns by the lake water wet through the sticky cheeks, a few droplets of water from her flaccid snow-white skin slipped, she reached out to wipe away the light water stains on the chin, and not to be seen, but to be seen by the woman, she was a little more than just the water, and she was a woman, but she was a woman. She reached out to wipe away the light water stains on her chin, and did not speak.

Xu Fengnian took the initiative to open his mouth and laughed, ”I saw you three years ago on the banks of the Luoshui River. But at that time, I was squeezed in a group of young chivalrous people who showed their love to you, and I squeezed for a long time before I killed a bloody path, and it was not easy to venture out, but I was also tripped and fell into a dog’s shit, so I guess you won’t notice me.”

She thought for a moment and calmly said, “Remember that time you were dressed rather, thin.”

Unexpectedly answering, Xu Fengyen laughed to himself, “Where is the thinness, clearly a beggar in rags, thanks to being able to be taken in by a young lady, three lifetimes of good fortune.”

Seeing Xu Fenian’s desire to speak, she smiled and said, “My name is Chen Yu.”

Sure enough!

There is a woman on the rouge list who is “not inferior to Nangong”. It was a beauty that was on par with White Fox Face.

Xu Fengyin had a warm, respectful, humble and coy face as he softly asked, “Miss Chen lives here alone?”

She nodded with a heartless smile.

Xu Fengyen let out a cry and gently jumped onto the shore, the next scene made the several people around the lake were shocked and dumbfounded, only to see His Royal Highness bending down to pick up the woman from the bamboo building, leaping onto the bamboo raft and leaving the center of the lake.

She bent her slender waist, her head on the chest of His Highness, Xu Fengyen looked down, and the two of them happened to look at each other. She undoubtedly has a pair of aura of the eyes, His Highness claimed to have been wandering around for more than twenty years without a defeat, read countless women, what kind of stunning color has not seen? But this pair of eyes, is the only can with the second sister Xu Weixiong comparable, white fox face eyes too cold, such as his former sword embroidered winter spring thunder as the same, Ying Qi unparalleled, talk about how much showy and gentle. At this time she looked up and stared at the audacity of his highness, without the slightest shock fear shyness, the bottom of the eye wave contains a wisp of faint anger, enough to let the ordinary dengdouzi ashamed of themselves to take their own hair to hang themselves, but unfortunately, she bumped into the lawlessness of Xu Fengyen.

Xu Fengyen lowered his head and narrowed his eyes, smiled brightly, and said in a bold and roguish manner, “I promised to snatch a top-notch beauty for my younger brother to be his daughter-in-law, sister-in-law, ah, from now on, we will be a family!”

The woman who had been looking so calm and unperturbed finally showed her consternation.

There are street robbers who rob people’s girls, there are bandits who take away beautiful women to be their mistresses, this is not strange, but this world even has a son of a bitch who robbed a beautiful woman to be his brother-in-law?

The old world Shu shy blinking eyes, the corner of the mouth hooked up, rob a woman can be robbed so domineering, not ashamed to be the Northern Liang Shizi ah.

※※※※

An inconspicuous carriage drove into the capital, the horseman is a young Taoist priest wearing a simple Taoist robe, can’t talk about how handsome, carrying a long sword that is not the same as the times, the expression is gentle, it seems to be good to talk to the Lord. City gate nine ridge seal ten dragons, majestic, the carriage only one passenger, batch fur and sit, leaning against the back of the young Taoist, listen to the young Taoist said that the capital of the city of all the wonders of heaven, listen to him tell how the same vein with the Kunlun connection, the Emperor’s Majesty who sits in the Hall of Supreme Harmony how to listen to the world in the south, the inner court of the east and west of the six palaces of the seven and how to build according to the trigrams, the young Taoist is not very young, said out of the reason is not small, with the The beautiful woman said that the world city is ultimately the pursuit of the realm of interpenetration with heaven and earth. The woman’s face is thin, wrapped in a not too expensive sable fur, like a medium-sized solid people out of the small family, sable fur, not as pure as the fox fur beauty, if it is the head of the capital prefer to compare the rich women, are not bothered to wear this kind of sable fur, unless it is the Guandong ferret to the eye. The woman listened to the young Taoist soft tone chatter, closed her eyes, the corner of her mouth with a satisfied smile. When she entered the city, she sniffed and whispered that it smelled good. Taoist turned his head and saw a restaurant, knew she was hungry, immediately stopped the carriage, jumped down, helped her walk into the restaurant, picked a third floor by the window with an open view of the location, she only ordered a vegetarian dish for herself, and then to the companion of the Taoist monk ordered a pot of wine, which made the greatly disappointed shopkeeper rolled his eyes, thinking that this is the field men and women out of too much stuttering, not easy to come to the capital a trip, do not know to bring some more! Silver, the shopkeeper regretted to give them this seat, wine first, Taoist priest poured two cups, the vegetarian roasted eggplant is the restaurant’s signature, she was attracted by the unique aroma.

She clamped a chopstick, tasted the mouth, smiled narrowed eyes, also helped the Taoist clamped a piece into the bowl, laughed: “delicious, eggplant peeled horizontal and vertical knife, cut into four petals, knife work is very fine, peeling half a head of garlic patted, rather than chopped, twisted small fire slowly stirred through the eggplant, three eggplants in the pot, to the table on the table is also just the six-inch plate, the key is to make the soy sauce and garlic and eggplant flavor complement each other, and not who will not be able to taste the eggplant. The key is to make the bean sauce and garlic and eggplant flavor complement each other, and not who overpower who, so this eggplant sold more expensive than meat, we did not spend money.”

The store assistant was originally a little resentful, after hearing the woman explain the doorway, the mood only slightly changed for the better, thinking that this beautiful but sickly woman is still a connoisseur.

The young Taoist priest tasted it and didn’t say anything, just smiled, slightly naive.

The woman tasted a mouthful and put down the chopsticks, looking out the window, looking out of the car, holding his cheeks, regretted: “according to your Taoist diet, people are born by the air of heaven and earth, so the season is very important, those dishes are to be law of the four seasons and become, I was a foodie, not afraid to be fat, to the season, can be just the right to make up for the good time of the autumn fats ah, just let go of your appetite to eat, to the winter, even if it is cold, not afraid to be a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a better mood. I’m not afraid of the cold, even if it’s cold again. Unfortunately, I have no appetite now, alas.”

The young Taoist priest was silent, her eyes lowered. This with her all the way far away, are where she wants to go, he will take to where, no matter how thousands of miles apart, no matter how lofty mountains, he will take her to see the scenery, just want her to return to the fun.

In the old West Chu, took her to see the world’s most spectacular bamboo sea.

In old Xichu, he went to see the ruins of the Western Basement Wall.

Further south, he took her to the nunnery, she asked for a sign, but it is the next sign.

Going to the extreme west, there were mountains high enough to reach the sky.

Then she said she wanted to see the capital.

Most of the diners in the restaurant are natives of the capital, the most good at hearsay, the people at the foot of the son of heaven, with an eye on the top of the superiority, as if there is nothing under the sky that they do not know, and now the most exciting hustle and bustle of the topic, first of all, the East China Sea, the city of the Wudi Wang Xianzhi and the one-armed Li Chungang that battle, can be said to be the most thrilling jianghu fifty years of the summit of the battle, followed by the Wudangshan surnamed Hong’s young sect leader! Down the mountain, I heard that seems to have that flying sword thousands of miles of magical powers, rumor has it that the monk is the reincarnation of Lu Zu general fairy characters, all of a sudden let the Taoist ancestor of Longhu Mountain lost color, the most sensational is not much time than that the land fairy just down the mountain, will take a woman went to the territory of several major Spring and Autumn dead country, a sword after a sword, will be the old Western Shu East Vietnam, the few remaining little columns of qi to the chopping collapsed to the later west to Kunlun, hundreds of the world’s top refiners, the world’s top refiners, the world’s top refiners, the world’s top refiner of the world’s top refiners. Kunlun, hundreds of the world’s top qi refiners flocked to the world, hoping to witness the immortal sword chopping qi luck of the majestic spirit, there is a hidden message quickly into the capital, when the Taoist sword chopping, thick as a mountain peaks of qi columns to be broken, so that the world’s thousands of listeners are jaw-droppingly curious under the sky is not there really such a non-ascension is better than the immortal immortal immortal?

Some people in the restaurant spittle, “that Wudang sectarian do not look on the surface of the young, in fact, live can be several hundred years old, at least three hundred years, a total of five a!”

Immediately someone doubts: “That is not than the old Sect Master Wang Chonglou still have to exceed too much? Since this is so old, why not until recently down the mountain, if it really has the power of God, where is the turn of the Dragon Tiger Mountain to do the feathered minister?”

The original man clapped his hands and said angrily, “This real person is a well-deserved land deity, his thoughts, how do I and other laymen know?!”

Countless people nodded in agreement, “Indeed.” “As it should be!” “I’ve heard that the great real people in the Sect will all be cheap and expensive, aiming to keep the simple, not caring about that mundane fame.”

Hearing all the flurry of discussion in her ears, the woman holding her cheeks at the window turned back and looked at the young Daoist across the table, her eyes narrowing.

The young Taoist reddened.

Outside the street resounded thundering horse hooves, smashing the ground with a rumble, as if an earthquake.

A few tables near the window diners are probing to look, scared, is a rare sight of the imperial city elite Feilin army out, and look at the situation can be more than dozens of iron horsemen, Feilin army has been the dynasty of the capital of the guards, the combat power can be said to be unbeatable, a time on the streets of the iron armor, the horse team as if there is no end, it did not take long to occupy the entire main road of the capital, and every Feilin guards are all swords drawn, led by a few generals It is even the power and prestige of the capital are hot meritorious military generals, in addition to the armor, there are countless great internal experts accompanied, as if the enemy. Today this row, magnificent terrible, the son of heaven may not be so vast on patrol, some clear-eyed people see a trace of deep war of the heavy guard, which makes people doubly chilled, is there under the sky who dare to make trouble in the capital? This must eat how many bears heart leopard gall, how many lives to do?

Laymen watching the scene, only the real insiders can see the doorway, in addition to nearly a thousand feather forest guards armor and nearly out of the nest of the great internal experts, there are dozens of dynasty within the first-class great qi refiner staring at the breath.

The woman sighed, “Go back.”

The young Daoist nodded and gently asked, “Where do you want to go?”

The woman laughed, “To Wudang Mountain, where we first met, if I don’t go, I’m afraid that my body won’t be able to hold out oh.”

The young Taoist monk asked, “Ride a crane out of the city? Or by carriage?”

The woman came to the childlike nature, blinking: “If I take the carriage, will it cause you trouble ah?”

The Daoist shook his head and said softly, “It won’t.”

The woman hesitated and slowly got up.

The young Daoist reddened and took the initiative to extend his hand.

The woman shook it.

They walked out of the restaurant together, and when the sword-bearing Taoist priest appeared on the street, those handfuls of today’s most plucked Qi Refiners coincidentally retreated a step back, and even the Fei Lin Army, which was known for its toughness, did not even dare to breathe.

The young Taoist priest gently carried the woman onto the carriage, turned his horse towards the city gates, turning a blind eye to the streets full of iron armor, grasping the horsewhip with one hand and holding the woman’s cool hand with the other, calmly saying, “Make way.”

A military general suppressed the restless steed, angrily said: “Bold Wudang Hong Washiang, how dare you disobey the rules in the capital?!”

The city was in an uproar.

The young Taoist priest blandly said, “Poor Taoist does not know your rules. As for your king’s law, no matter how big it is, it is no bigger than the sword behind the poor Taoist.”

The middle-aged military general who spoke out had a young armorer beside him, carrying a silver spear, and at the sound of his words, he was about to charge forward with his horse, but was stopped by the military general reaching out his hand.

The woman softly said, “Let’s go.”

The daoist’s face instantly eased and he nodded, holding her hand tightly.

Almost all of the horses on the street all knelt down in a flash, people tumbled, chickens flew and dogs jumped, no rules to speak of.

On this day, Wudang Hong Zaixiang and Xu Lipid Tiger left the city and left the city, no one dared to stop.

On this day, the world knows that the woman who loves to wear red clothes is called Xu Lihu.

Wudang Little Lotus Peak.

The clouds and mist.

Chen Carefree Song Zhiming Yu Xingrui three Wudang highest seniority of the old Taoist priests are standing side by side, leaving the top of the mountain to the pair of men and women, the three old people look at each other, there is pride, there is regret, there is regret, a mixture of feelings.

Nearby, excluding the three young master’s brother, there is only Li Yu Kettle, a new Wudang “outsider”.

Yesterday, the master of the mountain, and they said a thing, can be described as the Jianghu five hundred years of the most incredible pile of feat.

Regardless of how reluctant they were, Chen Yao and the other brothers were unwilling to obstruct them.

The young Taoist monk and the woman in red sat shoulder to shoulder on the edge of the base of the Turtle Camel Monument, she rocked her feet, she did not know what he was going to do, just looked at the seventy-two peaks in the sea of clouds, and mourned, “Bull rider, maybe I don’t have the means to grow old with you.”

That year when he was fourteen years old, the two first met.

After the reunion in Jiangnan, she knew that she would not live long, but when she rode a crane, she felt that she would have no regrets in this life.

He took her to travel all over the world, north and south.

She saw that he did not move, wrinkled her nose and twisted her head, knocked his head and asked: “What, still stupid to wait for the next life to find me? Are you stupid, aren’t you tired?”

The young Taoist monk thought about it and just shook his head.

All of a sudden, her eyes reddened and she bit her lip and asked, “Are you going to wait for me again?”

The bull-riding young Sect Master reached out and rubbed the woman’s cheeks, wiping away the tears, his eyes warm as he said, “If I say I’ll let you wait for me for three hundred years, will you be willing to wait?”

Without hesitation, she said, “You’ve waited for me for seven hundred years, in exchange I’ll wait for you for three hundred years, of course I can.”

The young Taoist who was limited to holding hands after meeting again gathered his courage and gently hugged her, smiling, “Good.”

She wrapped her arms around his neck and murmured, “What a coward.”

He asked, “You really aren’t going to go take a look at the Great General and His Highness the World’s Son?”

She smiled and shook her head, “Not to look, for fear of their sadness. Afraid they will shed tears.”

The young Taoist took a deep breath and waited for the woman to snuggle into his arms as the so-called Lu Zu’s Pei Sword, which was placed horizontally on the edge of the Turtle Camel Monument, was sheathed and rose up into the sky, shooting towards the vault of the heavens as if it was going to reach right up to the Heavenly Court before giving up.

The clouds of the nine heavens rolled down.

The entire Wudang Mountain was filled with purple qi.

He said aloud, “The poor Taoist Lu Dongxuan, a disperser five hundred years ago, Qi Xuanzheng of Longhu Mountain fifty years ago, and now Wudang Hong Washing Elephant, has cultivated seven hundred years of merit and virtue.”

“The Poor Tao makes a vow, willing to cultivate another three hundred years for the righteousness of heaven and earth!”

“I only ask for heaven and earth to open up a line, so that Xu Lihu can ascend!”

The young Daoist’s voice was like a bell, resounding through heaven and earth.

“Pray that Lipid Tiger Xu flies up on a crane!”

The yellow cranes roared in unison.

There was a red dress riding a crane into the Heavenly Gate.

The young Taoist priest reincarnated as Lu Zu sat down on his knees, looked at the descending sword that was destined to disarm him, and closed his eyes with a smile.

Chen Careless and the others could not bear to look at it any longer and burst into old tears.

There was a rainbow behind the sword, born above the head of the young Taoist monk, spanning the large and small Lotus Peak in splendor.

A thousand years of cultivation, only to see you again.
