Biography of Xi Shan

Before dawn the next morning, the bell rang in the temple.

Jing Ji sat up in a daze, hugging the quilt for a while.

Chen Daozhen had already washed and washed, sat at the table drinking tea neatly, saw him leaning against the wall half awake, dipped his handkerchief in warm water, and gently wiped his eyelids.

Jing Ji blinked his sore eyes, hugged him coquettishly, and said softly, "I'm awake."

Chen Daozhen chuckled, took the clothes and threw them to him, and asked with a smile, "Do you want me to help you get dressed?"

Jing Ji glared at him displeased, put on his clothes angrily and jumped off the bed.

At this time, a young monk came to ask Chen Daozhen to attend the morning class, and Chen Daozhen left with a smile on his face.

There was a faint morning light in the sky, Jing Ji stood in the courtyard and looked at the distant mountains.

He suddenly remembered that sentence: Nine days travel, gods and ghosts are unpredictable, the south is broken, and snow turns into spirit.

At least you should go to the south to take a look first.

Taking advantage of the busy monks at this time, Jing Ji decided to go to investigate alone.

***

When Chen Daozhen came to the main hall, he saw the host knocking on the wooden fish with his eyes closed.

Chen Daozhen came to him and sat cross-legged without disturbing him.

The host seemed to have heard the movement, he stopped knocking on the wooden fish, raised his eyelids to look at Chen Daozhen, then closed them again, knocking on the wooden fish and chanting scriptures.

Chen Daozhen smiled and looked at him patiently.

Jing Ji wandered aimlessly around the back mountain. There was a vast forest in the back mountain. Deep in the woods was a mountain stream with gurgling water. The monks in the temple fetched water here on weekdays.

Jing Ji met several monks carrying water along the way, and the young masters saw him with normal expressions and did not stop him from going in.

It seems that there is no treasure hidden in the back mountain.

Jing Ji walked to the depths, and further in, the trees were overgrown and the grass was luxuriant, but there were few people and it was very peaceful.

***

It took a whole hour for the host to open his eyes. He looked at Chen Daozhen and smiled, with thick creases on his old face.

Chen Dao really wanted to speak, but the host suddenly hit him at the speed of the wind, and saw that the host had strong internal strength and extraordinary martial arts, his moves were sometimes as fierce as a tiger and sometimes as soft as water, and there were countless changes in the connection.

Chen Daozhen was startled, he raised his hand to block, both of them sat on the futon, seeing each move.

Although the host is extraordinary in martial arts, Chen Daozhen is not an ordinary person, he is more than enough to deal with him, the two of them are not so much fighting, it is better to say they are exchanging ideas.

After dozens of strokes, the two stopped their hands at the same time, presided over the saying of Amitabha, and knocked on the wooden fish again.

Chen Daozhen sneered, this host is pretending to be ignorant, he is absolutely extraordinary.

Jing Ji puffed his cheeks, fiddled with the messy branches in a bored manner, and was about to go back home, when there was a strange laughter in the woods.

It was the laughter of a man and a woman, but the two voices were equally sharp, and the man seemed to be laughing while holding his throat, looking very sinister.

As the laughter got closer and closer, the two blocked Jing Ji one by one, and the laughter became more unscrupulous.

The woman was wearing a pink long dress, and she still had the charm of a half-aged lady, her frowns and smiles were extremely charming.Compared with this woman, that man is much weirder. The man is about 40 years old, but he is wearing a fiery red dress with a thick back and a thick waist. His face is heavily made up, and the carmine looks like blood. There is also a white pillow in his arms, which looks like a child wrapped in a quilt from a distance.

Jing Ji looked at the two people who were not kind, smiled and clasped his fists together: "I don't know what advice the two seniors have?"

The woman looked at him fixedly, and after a while she smiled and said: "Look at this little guy, he is so cute with his skin and tender flesh, he really looks like Dong'er."

Hearing the words, the man touched the pillow in his arms, glared at the woman reproachfully, and said, "My Dong'er is from a girl's family, and this kid is a good one."

"Then be Dong'er's brother, Dong'er will definitely like it."

Jingji listened to them discussing himself back and forth, and then looked at the pillow, feeling very weird in his heart, but at this moment he heard the woman say: "Since we all like him, why don't we just strangle him and make it for Dong'er?" a companion."

Jing Ji trembled with fright, and got goosebumps all over his body.

The man clapped his hands happily when he heard this, and wriggled his body dancing on the spot.

Jing Ji twitched the corners of his lips and said with a smile: "I still have something to do, if you two like this place, please do whatever you want."

"Stop!" The man suddenly sternly said, "I asked you to be Dong'er's companion, don't you want to?"

Jing Ji said distressedly: "I don't know you well, and I don't know who Dong'er is. You want to strangle me for no reason, how can I be willing?"

The man's eyes stood up sharply, "I don't care if you like it or not, I want your life now!" As he spoke, he slapped Jing Ji with his palm.

Jing Ji narrowed his eyes, turned sideways to dodge his attack, dexterously dodged behind him, and said softly: "The two of you are not my opponents, I advise you to leave, so as not to hurt your friendship."

"You have such a big tone, kid." The woman said in a cool tone, "Where did you come from, you are lying in this Buddhist gate!"

Jing Ji smiled slightly: "I'm not lying, and I don't want to cause trouble here, so I ask the two seniors to forgive me."

The woman sneered and said, "You immediately apologize with death, how about we spare you?"

Seeing that the two were really unreasonable, Jing Ji smiled wryly and sighed.

"Don't talk nonsense with him, let the old lady take this little bastard!" The man shouted, and punched Jing Ji with his bare hands.

Jing Ji no longer dodged and undid his moves one by one.

Although this man was dressed as a woman, he was burly and strong, and he fought with a lot of force, every punch was powerful and aroused a wave of air flow.

Jing Ji is a prodigy in martial arts. He has a very high talent in swordsmanship. Back then, when he was unable to cultivate his internal strength, he still won the championship by himself in the rookie competition. Although it was a fluke, his strength should not be underestimated. Back then, Chen Daozhen also said that if Jing Ji could use his internal strength to complement him, it wasn't that he couldn't compete with himself.

Among those who practice martial arts, those who have achieved small successes use force to compete against others, while those who have achieved great accomplishments practice both internally and externally, while those who have reached the pinnacle compare only with internal strength.

Therefore, even though Jing Ji won the top spot among a group of young disciples back then, it was still not worth mentioning in the eyes of masters. Those young disciples could improve to a great extent after practicing, but Jing Ji's martial arts were already in their eyes. When the top is reached, it is difficult to improve.

It's just that opportunities are unpredictable in this vast world. No one thought that the young man who was facing many obstacles in cultivating internal strength would grow by leaps and bounds once he overcame the difficulties.

Today's Jing Ji may still be difficult to compare with Chen Daozhen and others, but to say it boldly, apart from the famous martial arts masters in the world, there are no other opponents, let alone this man in front of him who still uses brute force.

Jing Ji didn't want to get entangled with him, so he got rid of his offensive and withdrew from the battle circle, looked at the two from a distance and said, "I don't know why senior is so aggressive, if junior's words offend, please bear with me, junior is here I apologize to you both."

The two looked at each other without answering, and attacked him tacitly.

Jing Ji didn't want to hurt them, and didn't want to delay the opportunity to find the Nine Heavens Sword. Under all kinds of difficulties, he was about to repel them, when a young man in yellow suddenly appeared in the woods.

As soon as the young man in yellow appeared, he attacked the man and the woman. The two looked at each other, seeing that the situation had settled down, they had already lost the wind, and shouted: "Let's go!"

The two left quickly, and the man still hugged the pillow.

Jing Ji heaved a sigh of relief, and said helplessly, "What two weirdos."

The young man in yellow smiled gently.

Jing Ji looked at him: "By the way, thank you."

"Does Shaoxia Jing know me?"

Jing Ji looked at it carefully, then suddenly opened his eyes wide, and said with a smile: "I have seen you before, you are a disciple of the Wuji Sect."

The young man in yellow rubbed his nose resentfully, he was the gatekeeper disciple who stopped him in Murong Lianhe's mansion back then.In the past, he didn't know much about the status of this young man in the suzerain's heart. Now that he thinks about it, he is very glad that Jing Shaoxia didn't take that matter to heart. Otherwise, the suzerain's temper would drive him out and eat him alive It's all possible.

"I'm Shao Shishi." Shao Shishi clasped his fists.

"Are you the No.11 child in the family?"

Shao Shishi looked at him and said with a smile: "Yes, but I am not born to my parents. My parents are ordinary farmers, but they are kind-hearted. When they see abandoned babies or children who can't find their parents, Take them home and take care of them.”

"They're really nice people, but it's hard work raising so many kids."

"Naturally, it was hard work, so when I was older, I tried every means to get into the Wuji Sect. Firstly, I could have room and board, and secondly, I could subsidize the family." Shao Shiyi smiled, "Am I superficial?"

"How can this be superficial? Even though you say so, if you don't have a little enthusiasm for martial arts, it is impossible to have today's skill."

Shao Shiyi nodded with a smile, and changed the topic: "Jing Shaoxia is looking for the Nine Heavens Sword, I'll take you there to have a look."

"Have you found the Nine Heavens Sword?" Jing Ji looked at him in surprise.

Shao Shishi said: "The suzerain told me the approximate location. I searched for two days and two nights before I found it. It's right in front."

As the two walked and chatted, Jing Ji thought of the pair of strange men, and couldn't help asking: "What's the origin of those two people just now?"

"They are the famous double evil spirits in Jianghu, they are extremely difficult to deal with, and they will die if they are unreasonable." Shao Shishi said, "But they are not as evil as they look on the outside, they are actually pitiful people."

Shao Shiyi said: "I don't know what the man's original name was, but I only know that he has a wife named Fang Chenxia and a daughter named Dong'er, but his daughter was stolen by human traffickers when she was still in her infancy. , His wife was heartbroken and hanged herself, and then he went crazy, dressed as a woman all day long, thinking that he was his wife, and that pillow was his daughter."

Jing Ji's heart sank: "Although he is pitiful, he can't kill innocent people indiscriminately. It happened to be me today. If it was someone else, I'm afraid he would die."

Shao Shiyi smiled and shook his head: "He was trying to scare you. In fact, they specialize in robbing the rich and giving to the poor, and have rescued many children from human traffickers. It's just that the two of them are crazy all day long, and they look very weird. They are in Jianghu They are very famous in the world, so sometimes even if they offend people they can't afford to offend, most of those who know them will not care about them."

Jing Ji nodded clearly, feeling a sigh of relief in his heart, and then asked: "What is the origin of that woman?"

"I'm not sure about that. I only know that her name is Bao Niang. Seeing that the two of them are so crazy, then Bao Niang is probably a hard-working person. Here we are."

In front of him was a ten-foot-wide creek, which flowed out from the depths of the woods, and stopped abruptly when it reached here, blocked by several huge turbulent blocks.

The turquoise moss was covered with gravel, and a sword hilt was exposed in the gaps of the pile of rocks. The dark black sword hilt was dull, and the moss concealed its original look.

Jing Ji involuntarily took a step forward, wanting to reach out to touch the hilt of the sword and pull it out.

"Be careful!" Shao Shiyi exclaimed.

"It doesn't matter." Jing Ji smiled, "I originally came here for this sword."

Shao Shiyi frowned slightly, and suddenly drew his sword to face Jing Ji, "Forgive me, I can't let you touch this sword, the master of this sword is bound to get it."

Jing Ji looked at him carefully, and Shaoqing smiled slightly: "Senior Brother Chen and I are one body, this sword belongs to him as well as mine."

Shao Shixi paused, his eyes hesitated.

"But don't worry, I won't make things difficult for you." Jing Ji sat cross-legged on the spot, stared deeply at the sword, and looked up at the dappled sunlight for a while, as if talking to himself: "It hasn't started yet." It’s snowing, the time has not yet come.”

***

Chen Daozhen closed his eyes, his thoughts were immersed in the regular sound of wooden fish, and he sat for another whole hour.

The old windows creaked with the sound of the wind, and the cold wind came in through the gaps.

The host slowly opened his eyes, and said lightly: "The Nine Heavens Sword is a fierce sword, an ominous thing, why should the benefactor insist on not changing it." The host spoke very slowly, and the murmuring voice seemed to come from the stomach. Come out, appearing illusory in Nuo Da's hall.

Chen Daozhen said: "The Nine Heavens Sword is in this world, so I am here. Even if I can't get down, the Nine Heavens Sword will still fall into the hands of others."

The host said: "If the benefactor doesn't come, how can the Nine Heavens Sword appear in this world?"

Chen Daozhen looked at him in amazement, his eyebrows and eyes were full of surprise.

Whether he came because of the Nine Heavens Sword, or whether the Nine Heavens Sword appeared because of him, Chen Daozhen was very surprised when he heard it for the first time, and after thinking about it for a while, he realized the profound meaning.

There is cause and effect in the world, and what is the cause and what is the effect, what is the good result and what is the evil result, everything will eventually have karma.

The presiding officer said: "Amitabha, all causal cycles are involuntary."

Chen Daozhen smiled wryly: "Even if everything is predestined, everyone in the world is not me if you are happy, angry, sad, and happy, and you don't know that I am angry, crazy, and insane. How do you know that my heart is so sweet."

"Amitabha, nothing can be taken away, only karma is with me, and the donor can do everything for himself." The host closed his eyes, and continued to knock on the wooden fish slowly.

There was a sudden thunder in the sky, the sound shook the sky and the earth, and it had the air of destroying the sky and the earth.

Chen Daozhen suddenly had a thought, stood up and looked out the window from a distance, only to see his expression changed drastically, and he immediately left with lightness kung fu.

The host was as steady as Mount Tai, his expression remained unmoved.
