77. Zongwu Building
It is already late autumn on the third day of the lunar calendar!
The cold and cold air enveloped the entire world, and the flowers, plants and trees near Qinglongyuan showed signs of withering. In just half a month, a layer of fallen leaves had accumulated on the ground.
The air was so cold that the residents of Wolong Town began to wear thick clothes to resist the cold air. Only these internal masters of the Sword Sect were still wearing thin clothes.
In Lu Chen's bamboo house, there was a lot of heat and many people sat there! The lively atmosphere dispelled a lot of chill brought by late autumn.
Han Wenqing, Liu Yue, Yue Xiu, Qu Qingyang, and Ji Yun and Tang Xuan also returned from practicing swords in the back mountain!
The bamboo house was filled with people, and the table was filled with hot wine and food. Just like the New Year, the room was filled with joy.
Except for Tang Xuan, everyone here is almost all disciples recruited by the Sword Sect at the same time, so this relationship is naturally much closer than other disciples.
"Come on, everyone, toast, congratulations to Lu Chen and Ji Yun on the list of the Heavenly Swords. These two geniuses are our role models!" Qu Qingyang likes lively the most, and smiles with a master's style.
"That's natural. We are all fifty-seven generations of disciples. Lu Chen and Ji Yun are now famous among our group of people!" Liu Yue picked up the wine glass and touched Qu Qingyang for a moment, smiling like a flower.
It is also something they are very proud to be able to become friends with the two geniuses Lu Chen and Ji Yun.
There are nearly 8,000 disciples of Liuyun Sword Sect, including 500 elite disciples and 200 core disciples, but there are only fifty geniuses who can be listed on the Heavenly Sword List. It can be said that these are the fifty geniuses with the highest talent in the sect.
However, Liuyun Sword Sect has four mountain gates, namely Qinglong Courtyard, Zhuque Courtyard, Baihu Courtyard, and Xuanwu Courtyard. Fifty geniuses have been divided up. Each mountain gate can only have about a dozen geniuses on the Tianjian List.
And Lu Chen and Ji Yun occupied two places!
It can be said that it is no exaggeration to choose between Lu Chen and Ji Yun in the entire Qinglong Academy.
"Congratulations to Brother Lu for being on the Tianjian List!" Yue Xiu and Lu Chen were close together, and a pair of snow-white jade-handed wine glasses rushed towards Lu Chen, with a gentle and pretty face smiling like a flower.
Lu Chen smiled faintly: "Thank you!" He picked up the wine glass and drank it all.
Yue Xiu's pretty face turned slightly red, and she took a slight taste shyly.
"Lu Chen, try this braised fish quickly. This is our Xiu'er's unique skill. It is hard for ordinary people to taste her skills!" Liu Yue pointed to the braised fish on the table, and said with a strange smile.
Yuexiu quickly pulled her dress under the table and signaled her to say less.
"Yes, please trouble Miss Yuexiu, you have trouble cooking so many dishes!" Lu Chen said gratefully, stretching out his chopsticks to pick up one of the fish meat and put it in his mouth.
Yue Xiu showed joy between her eyebrows, and looked at Lu Chen expectantly and said, "How is it?"
Lu Chen praised with a bright smile: "It's very good. Miss Yuexiu not only has excellent martial arts skills, but also has a simple cooking skills! It's true that she is smart and skillful. It's rare to enjoy such a good taste today!"
"It's good that you like it, I can make it for you at any time!" Yue Xiu was immediately overjoyed when he saw Lu Chen praising him like this, and his heart felt as sweet as honey.
Tang Xuan next to Ji Yun was even more exaggerated. Her pair of chopsticks kept picking up food into Ji Yun’s bowl, and it was almost piled up into a hill!
"Come on, eat quickly, eat quickly!"
"This soup is for nourishing blood and health. My sister told me to drink more!"
"And this shredded pork tastes so fresh!"
Faced with Tang Xuan's overly enthusiastic behavior, Ji Yun looked stiff and felt that everyone on the table was staring at him.
"I'll hold it myself!" Ji Yun said indifferently, not very grateful for Tang Xuan's actions.
A strange feeling appeared on the corner of Lu Chen's mouth. No wonder Tang Xuan has been pestering Ji Yun to practice swords recently. So that's what happened!
Qu Qingyang, who was standing by, was most puzzled. Didn’t Tang Xuan like Lu Chen before? Why was he so enthusiastic about Ji Yun all of a sudden? It was so difficult that he was thinking about something different and fell in love with someone else?
Women are indeed fickle animals! Turning against each other is like flirting with books.
However, everyone had a very happy meal because they were all of their peers and didn’t need to be so rude and restrained.
A group of people chatted and laughed, and they kept drinking until nightfall, and they returned to the mountain gate drunk.
After Lu Chen contacted them for a long time, he learned about the background of Han Wenqing and Yuexiu. It turned out that their fathers were both innate elders of Liuyun Sword Sect. Han Wenqing's father was in charge of logistics in the sect, with a high position and a powerful position, and his status was only below the sect leader. He was known as the youngest inner elder in the sect.
Yuexiu's father, like Tang Xuan's father, was dispatched to an important county town to serve as the city lord, with a very strong background.
It was late at night and people were quiet. Lu Chen sat on the edge of the cliff, blowing the cold wind, waking up himself. At the foot of the mountain, Wolong Town was already dimly lit, immersed in the quiet mountains and rivers. From a distance, it looked like a poetic painting, which was so beautiful.
"Are you worried?" Ji Yun's cold voice came from behind.
Lu Chen didn't look back and said quietly: "Walking through thousands of mountains and rivers, look at the prosperity of the world indifferently! Don't you think this peaceful night is very poetic? What will happen to our future life!"
"Some beautiful things are eternal and immortal, while some things can only flash like meteors! Only those who can control their destiny are themselves." Ji Yun said much more today than usual.
Lu Chen smiled faintly and said, "You are right. If life can have the opportunity to bloom like a meteor, even if it is fleeting, it will have left wonderful traces in this world!"
"Some people can become meteors, while some people can only become inconspicuous stones, and are always buried in this secular soil! If you want to live a wonderful life, it depends on how far you are." Ji Yunyao looked into the distance with deep eyes.
Lu Chen turned his head to look at him and smiled and said, "It seems that you are drunk today and you are so elegant. Talk to me about poetry and Taoism!"
"You're talking nonsense, my sword is still sharp!" Ji Yun's mouth curled up slightly, and his smile exuded a faint sadness.
Lu Chen suddenly stood up and said, "Are you interested? Have you ever tried it?"
"That's the point!" Ji Yun said coldly.
Lu Chen smiled loudly: "Then come!"
As soon as the words were finished, two figures rushed towards each other at the same time, and the two sides were coming and going, with swords and swords, dazzling in the night.
Ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding
Qu Qingyang walked out of the bamboo building, wiped his eyes, looked at the two people who were competing on the cliff, and couldn't help but whisper: "Two madmen, don't sleep in the middle of the night, it's so noisy!" After that, he took off his belt in front of the stairs of the bamboo building and peed.
In this contest, Lu Chen and Ji Yun did not use any extremely lethal moves. They were just a simple competition. They were testing each other's strength. They seemed to be swords and swords, but in fact they were just bluffing. The two felt as if they were heroes and they were fighting happily. After forty or fifty moves, they stopped breathlessly.
Lu Chen's sword technique is erratic, while Ji Yun's sword technique is fierce and fast.
After this battle, both sides understood some of the other party's strength.
"This Ji Yun is indeed a genius. His sword skills are so terrifying. I underestimated him before!" After a contest with Ji Yun, Lu Chen found that Ji Yun's strength was stronger than he thought. He could defeat Zhuo Fei, who was ranked fifth in the Heavenly Sword List. It was indeed not a flaw!
He is also very happy. If he can have such a friend around him, at least he will not be lonely in the future.
He took the soft sword back into the scabbard and praised with a smile: "Ji Yun, your swordsmanship seems to have improved a lot, it is amazing."
"You are not bad either. After taking my forty-seven swords, you will not be at all inferior!" Ji Yun took back the slender sword in his hand and a smile appeared on his cold and hard face.
Lu Chen said gently: "I am very happy to have friends like you!"
"Friend?" Ji Yun's lips curled up a hint of mockery: "In my life, there are only opponents and no friends!"
Lu Chen smiled faintly and said, "Then you are also an admirable opponent!"
Ji Yun turned around and walked back, and a cold voice came from him: "Don't talk about feelings, this is an insult to a swordsman! If one day we become enemies, don't keep your hands!"
Lu Chen was stunned and frowned and said, "What do you mean!"
"It's nothing, take a break early!" Ji Yun said calmly.
Before he could walk a few steps, Lu Chen's voice rang behind him again: "You are my friend, you will be my whole life!"
"Friend? Are people like me qualified to be friends with you?" Ji Yun laughed at himself.
Looking at Ji Yun who was a little strange today, Lu Chen always felt that he had something to do with him, but since others didn't want to say more, he naturally wouldn't ask more questions.
Everyone has their own secrets, and people's hearts are separated from their belly!
In the next half month, Lu Chen's life was very peaceful. During this period, he also learned the other eight moves of the Ruyi Sword Book. The sword technique was smoother and more erratic than before.
On the 20th day of the lunar calendar, it started drizzling in the world, and the bitter cold wind blew all over the Liuyun Sword Sect.
Lu Chen went to the Zongwu Building, which was a red seven-story attic located near the main hall of the Lock Sword Peak!
This place is a place dedicated to sect disciples. Therefore, when he came in, he saw many groups of fellow disciples, wearing bags and horses, all dressed as a ranger who was about to travel far away. He took the task scroll obtained from the sect building and hurriedly left.
Lu Chen walked into the attic and saw a counter where four disciples of blue robes were dressed in the detention center.
He walked up to one of them and smiled and said, "Senior brother, is this Zongwu Building?"
"Yes, this is the Zongwu Building. Do you want to take on the task?" The weak young man nodded, his voice was very gentle, and he felt like a spring breeze, and it was more like a woman whispering in a low voice.
Lu Chen has seen many men, but he has never seen a young man who speaks so gently, which seems a little surprised for a moment!
Chapter completed!
