Chapter 5. Shushan Sword Saint
After leaving Yuhang County, Lu Zhi planned to travel around the world. After a month of re-cultivation, his cultivation level had recovered somewhat. Although he had not yet returned to his peak, with his ability, it was enough to survive in this world.
Okay, this world is so big, so much can be achieved.
After thinking about it, Lu Zhi decided to go all the way west first, travel around Shu, and take a look at the Shu Mountain.
In the Immortal Sword series, Shushan Sword Sect has existed in almost all dynasties. The reputation of Shushan Swordsmanship has been spread all over the world, and Lu Zhi also wanted to see it for himself.
Shu land.
Shushan is very famous in Shu. Even the old man enjoying the cool air on the roadside and the children playing beside the road all know the reputation and location of Shushan. Lu Zhi just casually asked pedestrians on the road for advice and easily found out.
The road to Shushan.
There is a famous mountain in Shu, so it was named after Shu. The mountain is thousands of feet high, almost reaching into the clouds. It is majestic and majestic. It is really a famous mountain scenery rarely seen in the world.
On Shushan Mountain, there is an endless stream of pedestrians. There are both pedestrians who come for an outing and ordinary traders. Many small traders carry burdens and set up stalls along both sides of the mountain road to sell some small items.
And those Shushan disciples on Shushan Mountain do not prohibit others from setting up stalls and going to the market on Shushan Mountain. On every first and fifteenth day of the lunar month, local people and outsiders will spontaneously go to Shushan Mountain to form a market.
It has the atmosphere of a later-generation tourist attraction.
However, the range of activities for ordinary pedestrians generally only reaches the palace complex halfway up the front mountain, and no further. First, because Shu Mountain is too high. The higher you go up, the steeper and more difficult it is to walk without any Kung Fu skills.
It is almost impossible for people who follow the law to climb up.
The second reason is that although the disciples of Shushan who live on the top of Shushan Mountain do not prohibit pedestrians from going out for an outing on Shushan Mountain, they do not want to be disturbed. Therefore, they sent disciples to intercept pedestrians who wanted to go up further to avoid damage.
The Qingxiu atmosphere in the Shushan School.
But even if disciples are sent out to patrol the mountain and stop people who continue to go up the mountain, there will still be many people who will not listen to the advice and insist on going to the top of Shushan Mountain.
Most of those people are looking forward to the reputation of Shushan Sect and want to join Shushan. Some of them are those who are cultivating immortality and seeking immortality. Some of them come here specifically to challenge themselves because of Shushan's reputation in the world.
When Lu Zhi went up the mountain, he saw several people who were also going to Shushan.
However, these people were stopped by Shushan disciples on the mountain road and asked them to go to Shushan by another way.
Above Shushan Mountain, there is the Wenxin Road Trial. Halfway up the south side of Shushan Mountain, there is a path that leads directly to the top of Shushan Mountain. It is shrouded in clouds and fog all year round. Even when the sun is shining in the sky, the thick fog does not disperse at all, and this path is covered by clouds and fog.
The road shrouded in thick fog is the road to ask questions in Shushan Mountain.
This path of asking one's mind is a phantom formation specially built by the teachers in Shu Mountain using a formation method combined with the mountain terrain, which was spent a lot of time and energy to serve as a test for climbing up to Shu Mountain.
Over the years, there have been countless people who admire the reputation of Shushan and want to go to the mountain to become their disciples. There are also many people who want to become famous in the world and become famous by taking the name of Shushan.
But so far, the number of disciples of the Shushan Sect has never increased much. Apart from the disciples of the Shushan sect, there are very few others who can set foot in the Shushan Gate. The biggest reason is this Shushan Asking the Heart.
If a disciple other than the disciples of Shushan wants to go to Shushan, whether they want to become a disciple of Shushan or come to ask for advice, they need to take this path of asking the mind. Only if they pass the test of the path of asking the mind can they follow up.
And just this test alone has turned away the vast majority of people.
Of course, if you are not sure that you can pass this road to ask for the soul, you can also choose to force it, but... you can't even pass the road to ask for the soul. It is naturally impossible to force your way through Shushan.
Therefore, a not very clever way of asking one's mind is enough to ward off many mediocre people's interference.
"Little brother, please stop." A Shushan disciple in white walked out of the forest, walked up to Lu Zhi, raised his arms and hugged him, and gave him a salute.
"The front is where our Shushan Sect's sect is, and it is not open to receive others, so please go back to the mountains and have some fun."
When Lu Zhi heard this, he just smiled, then raised his hand and pointed in front of a sword-wielding man who turned into the other side of the mountain forest, and asked: "But I heard this, little friend, please talk to that brother and ask him to come from the other side."
One side of the mountain is 'asking the heart', why do you tell Pindao to go down the mountain?"
The Shushan disciple was stunned, and for a moment he didn't know how to answer.
"Well, this little brother... Since I want to try Wenxin Road, of course I can. Wenxin Road is in the forest half a mile away. You can find it yourself. If it doesn't work, hurry up.
Let’s go down the mountain, lest it gets late and the mountain road becomes difficult.”
The reason why he didn't invite Lu Zhi to ask for advice before was purely because Lu Zhi didn't look like a person from the world who came to be a disciple, but more like a noble man who came to Shushan for an outing.
But since Lu Zhi mentioned the question of asking the mind, it would be fine to let him try. Anyway, he set up the question of the mind in Shushan not to hurt people and kill the enemy. Even if he fails to pass the illusion test of the question, he is just lost.
After a while, we just turned back to the mountains. There was no danger.
Lu Zhi nodded and said, "Thank you."
Then he turned around and walked towards the path of questioning.
Walking into the mist of asking for one's mind, Lu Zhi sensed it for a moment and realized that it was really true. It was just a clever illusion formation. It was probably used to block ordinary people, but it was used for people with cultivation skills.
It doesn't have much effect, and even ordinary people with stronger spiritual awareness can get out of this illusory array.
Lu Zhi naturally walked out of this road of asking questions easily, and went all the way to the top of Shushan Mountain.
The moment Lu Zhi stepped into the outer formation of Shu Mountain, a white-haired man in Shu Mountain suddenly opened his eyes from his trance and instantly looked in the direction of Lu Zhi.
At that moment, he felt Lu Zhi's aura, and his mind was shaken.
On a whim, although he didn't know what it meant, he didn't dare to be negligent at all. He only pondered for a moment, then got up and left the room, heading towards where Lu Zhi was.
To be able to touch the Shushan Formation and make him feel something in his heart, the person coming here must be extraordinary.
Moreover, the unknown meaning coming from his spiritual sense made him even more concerned. He felt that this matter must be of great importance and could not be taken lightly.
"Huh?" Lu Zhi, who was walking in the forest, suddenly had a look on his face and suddenly turned his head to look to one side.
The next moment, a white-haired man in a gray robe suddenly appeared in the originally deserted forest clearing.
"The distinguished guest came to visit, but the poor Taoist treated me indifferently. The poor Taoist is very polite, but I am lucky to meet my fellow Taoist."
Yin Ruozhuo? Dugu Sword Master? Lu Zhi's expression changed, he raised his hand and said in return: "I am a poor Taoist, Lu Zhi. I have heard about the name of Shushan for a long time. I came here to pay you a special visit today. I came uninvited. I hope fellow Taoist friends will not take offense."
Yin Ruozhuo just nodded to Lu Zhi with an indifferent expression, raised his hand and said: "Fellow Taoist has come to pay a visit. Shushan should treat you as such. Friend Taoist, please come to Shushan for a cup of tea."
Lu Zhi nodded: "Good."
"please."
Under the leadership of Yin Ruozhuo, the two went all the way up Shushan Mountain and found a pavilion built on the mountain to sit down.
After ordering the Shushan disciples to serve two cups of tea, Yin Ruozhuo looked at Lu Zhi without any trace and started talking to Lu Zhi.
During the conversation, Lu Zhi also mentioned the purpose of his trip. Firstly, he wanted to visit Shushan in person and see this world-famous fairyland. Secondly, he wanted to communicate with Shushan and talk about Taoism.
Yin Ruozhuo nodded. Over the years, Lu Zhi was not the first person to come to his Shushan Mountains to exchange ideas and discuss Taoism, hoping to see his unique skills in Shushan Mountains.
However, Lu Zhi was the first person who could welcome him, the leader of Shushan, in person, and who could not even see through him.
Since he entered the Tao, his cultivation has reached the highest level in the world. Over the years, he has quietly broken through the boundary between humans and immortals, and ascended to the immortal realm. There are few people in this world who can make him invisible.
.
So when he first met Lu Zhi, he actually had doubts in his heart for a moment, because he had an inexplicable hunch that Lu Zhi's appearance might cause something unpredictable to happen to things that had been doomed for a long time.
