Chapter 118 Bamboo
In the Lufang, next to Sanwei Hall, there is a quiet bamboo garden. A stone path full of moss marks leads to the depths of the quiet bamboo forest. Following the path through the bamboo forest, you will see a low bamboo fence, surrounding a small courtyard. There are five scattered bamboo houses in the courtyard, which look very inconspicuous.
However, this is the holy place in the hearts of the tribesmen, because the only grandmaster of the land valve, Lu Xian, lives here.
Lu Xian is a martial arts genius who has met once a century in this family. He was promoted to the Grand Master at the age of 33. He was very popular and regarded as the hope for the revitalization of the Land Master! Lu Xian himself was also full of energy and continued to challenge the Grand Master of the Heavenly Level. He was even more unsuccessful in several battles. He quickly rose to fourth place on the list of Grand Master of the Heavenly Level. For a while, the world was praised as the reputation of Lu Xian’s "Haoran Sword"!
In order to win the title of No. 1 in the world, Lu Xian climbed Taishi Mountain twelve years ago and challenged a generation of Tianshi Master Zhang Xuanyi! The two had a secret conversation on Guiyin Peak. Although no one watched, the parties involved remained silent about the outcome. However, when they returned from Taishi Mountain, Lu Xian lost all his energy and announced that they would no longer pay attention to the civil affairs of the clan and lived in seclusion in this bamboo forest all day long.
For more than ten years, a great master of the heavenly level challenged him, but Lu Xian never responded to the challenge, as if he had completely cut off the troubles of the world, focused on practicing, and only sought the way of heaven.
In the eyes of outsiders, Lu Xian was undoubtedly defeated by Zhang Xuanyi, and it should have been a complete defeat. In addition, he has never taken a step beyond Lu Fang for more than ten years. The famous Haoran sword in the world gradually faded out of people's vision and was constantly surpassed by his juniors in the ranking of the sky. Now he is only ranked tenth on the list of the sky.
But this did not affect the respect of the people in the land franchises, and the legends of his former confrontation with the top masters, were still widely circulated among the clans. It is no exaggeration to say that Lu Bai and Lu Song's generation grew up by listening to his stories.
Therefore, it is not difficult for Lu Yun to understand the pilgrimage mood of the three of them at this moment. From the moment they stepped into the bamboo forest, even Lu Song, who was the most unrighteous, had a serious face and did not dare to breathe. As for Lu Lin, who was crazy about martial arts, his face was flushed with excitement, and his nostrils were twice as big as usual.
When the four of them came outside the bamboo fence, they saw the little boy with a pair of buns dozing off leaning against the bamboo door. Hearing footsteps, the little boy rubbed his sleepy eyes and muttered, "Here I've been here so early."
Lu Song took out a bag of candies and stuffed them into the little boy's hand: "You can't let the deputy sect leader wait for us."
When the boy saw Candy, he was even more kissing than Yinzi, and his face immediately smiled: "You wait, I'll report it."
After a while, the little boy went back and opened the bamboo door: "Come in."
The four of them sorted out their instruments and entered in one after another.
.
In the courtyard, there is quiet and silent.
Lu Xian was wearing a simple cloth robe, with long hair scattered behind his head, staring at the cluster of green bamboos in front of him, as if there was nothing else in the world, only him and the bamboos in front of him were left.
Lu Yun and the other two came in and were about to salute Lu Xian, but they saw him raise his hand and signaled them not to speak.
"Come here." Lu Xian greeted them, looked at the Zhucong in front of him affectionately and said, "Pick one that suits you."
The four of them thought that the deputy sect leader wanted to use bamboo as a sword to teach us sword skills, right? So he hurried forward as he said and chose the bamboo branch he liked. Lu Lin was the most anxious. He chose a thick and straight one and had to reach out to fold it.
But Lu Xian scolded him: "Stop! Don't ruin my brother Zhu!"
Lu Lin hurriedly shrank his hand and looked at Lu Xian at a loss. Lu Song and the other two didn't dare to reach out, fearing that besides Brother Zhu, there were Brother Zhu, Uncle Zhu and others...
"My master means not to ask you to break bamboo." The little boy said solemnly: "I'm asking you to pick a bamboo and follow it with him." I wonder if it was an illusion, but Lu Yun felt that the little boy was holding back his smile when he said this.
"Then..." Lu Song asked in confusion: "How should we conclude?"
"Look with your eyes and feel with your heart." Lu Xian said in a deep voice: "Try to investigate the principles in the bamboo."
"Ah?!" Lu Lin said in disbelief: "What's the reason in the bamboo?"
"Every grass and every tree have its own reason. If you don't think about it, how can you know that bamboo has no reason?" Lu Xian replied slowly.
Although the four of them didn't understand what Lu Xian said, they felt that they were very in line with the style of a peerless master. They hurriedly focused on the key points, so they each found a bamboo, imitated Lu Xian's appearance, and stared at the bamboo.
Seeing this, the boy shook his head secretly and quietly retreated.
So in the yard, there were five figures of old, four young and five, standing there motionlessly, and looking into the principle of bamboo without blinking.
It took only an hour to see the five fingers between heaven and earth, and Lu Xian still had no intention of stopping. The four of them could only continue to watch. Lu Yun and the other three had already reached the Xuan level, and they could gather true energy into Jingming, and the dark night could also see things. Lu Song was still only in the yellow level, and could not mobilize the true energy as he wanted. His eyes were dark and he could not see anything, so he had to stand there and stare blankly.
"Feal Breath." Although Lu Xian only had his brother Zhu in his eyes, he was as clear as the situation of the four of them.
Lu Song hurriedly imitated the baby's breathing in the mother's womb, taking his own internal energy, using his nose instead of his mouth. This is the most basic movement of internal energy cultivation. He sucked his breath for a long time, and held his breath without causing external escape. He exhaled slightly at the extreme depth. He could not make any subtle sounds regardless of his breathing.
"Hold the coarse." Lu Xian whispered two more words.
Lu Song quickly curled his thumbs inside with his hands and held the other four fingers from the outside.
"Shouyi." Lu Xian ordered again.
Lu Song hurriedly kept his mind and hugged him, so that he could not be disturbed by any external interference.
"Continue to watch." After Lu Xian said that, he continued to immerse himself in the spiritual world.
According to Lu Xian's request, Lu Song breathed, held his body firmly, and guarded him. At the same time, he widened his eyes hard. Sure enough, the shape of a bamboo gradually appeared in front of him!
Lu Song couldn't help but be ecstatic. He had gathered his true energy to Jingming so easily. This is the sign of his advancement to the Xuan level!
His joy was immediately unable to calm down, and he held on to one side, and his eyes were dark again.
"Let's just stop here today." At this time, Lu Xian finally withdrew his gaze, turned around and entered the bamboo house.
In the darkness, the four of them heard him in the bamboo house and whistled: "Give me good at raising my righteous spirit and always guarding my god."
When Lu Yun heard the sound, he felt something immediately. A trace of enlightenment suddenly arises, but he disappears without grasping it.
.
The four of them smeared out of the bamboo forest, and there were servants waiting with lanterns outside.
Until he walked away, Lu Song said softly: "The deputy sect leader is indeed well-known. I have touched the threshold of the Xuan stairs." He said and asked Lu Yun three times, "What have you gained?"
The three of them looked at each other and shook their heads together. Lu Yun smiled bitterly and said, "I still have a bamboo in front of me, floating..."
"Me too, I'm dizzy and my eyes are thrusting until now." Lu Song's voice was muffled, and the aisle was a little unsightly.
Lu Bai sighed lightly and said, "I thought my fourth brother was talented and could see more."
"Persevere!" Lu Song exclaimed to the three brothers: "Once you realize it, you may be promoted to the master!"
"Haha..." The three of them had no confidence.
.
After having supper in Lufang, Lu Yun returned to Congshanfang's home.
Then I saw Lu Ying sitting under the lamp, embroidering the flowers while waiting for her to come back.
Seeing Lu Yun come in, Lu Ying put down her work and came forward happily. These days, Lu Yun went out early and came back late every day, and the brother and brother rarely talked. Lu Ying felt distressed and a little depressed.
"I can take a day off the day after tomorrow. How about I go shopping with my sister?" Lu Yun hurriedly promised.
Lu Ying was so happy that she was left with only heartache: "It's so hard for you to go back and forth like this."
"When my father is promoted to deacon, we can move to Luobei." Lu Yun comforted softly.
"I'm afraid it's a big deal..." Lu Ying looked outside and lowered her voice: "In the afternoon, I heard my grandfather cursing in the house. It seemed that Lu Jian was still the deacon in the family..."
