A long song into the gate of heaven

Chapter 10 Taking the Sword from Tianchi
In the morning, the green mist has dissipated, and the mountains are like daisy. Even in summer, it is very cool here.This is Le Yu's fifth year in Tianshan. After a few years, his edges and corners have become much clearer, and his body has become much stronger. Although he is not as thin as copper skin and iron bones, at least he is not as thin as before.

When he was at home, although Le Tianyu didn't teach him martial arts, he often made him do some jumping piles, handstands, and running movements.Although he didn't understand, his footsteps were indeed much faster than ordinary Tianshan disciples.In the past few years, because he was lonely alone, he often ran with rabbits in the mountains, and saw how red deer escaped from the bear's paw many times.

I don't know when, there are two more rows of wooden piles in front of his house.He had seen it in the martial arts training ground before, one was a plum blossom pile and the other was a wooden dummy pile.In his spare time, he also began to practice on the plum blossom pile, fisting and kicking the wooden dummy pile.

Although his life was more lonely and dull than before, he never had the idea of ​​going down the mountain.

"Master, why are you here?" Le Yu quickly stood up.

Tian Xin nodded and motioned him to sit down.

"Do you know how long you have been in Tianshan?"

"Master, it is already the fifth year."

"In the past five years, have you ever figured out anything?" Tian Xin said.

Le Yu was silent for a while, then slowly said: "I no longer yearn for the outside world."

Tianxin shook his head: "If you really think so, you will have failed to live up to your hard work as a teacher."

"This..." Le Yu looked at Tian Xin, then immediately lowered his head: "This disciple is ignorant, please clarify, Master."

"A person may make many mistakes in his life, some of which can be made up for, and some of which are irreversible; the outside world is indeed fascinating, but if you can't lay a good foundation, you won't be able to realize the splendor."

Le Yu bowed: "I have never dared to slack off for a moment in what Master has instructed all these years."

"Okay, go to Tianchi and find a sword for me." After Tianxin finished speaking, she walked a long way.

"Senior Brother, Senior Brother!" Wen Yan suddenly ran over.

Le Yu nodded Wen Yan's head: "Fortunately, Master didn't see you."

"Hee hee, I was scared to death! I have been hiding behind a tree."

"That's right, what did Master tell you?"

Le Yu shook his head: "Junior Sister, you really have a lot of free time, you are curious about everything."

Wen Yan pouted: "Senior brother, tell me, tell me quickly."

"Master asked me to go to Tianchi to find a sword for him." Le Yu said.

"Oh, looking for a sword? It sounds like fun! Can I go with my brother?" Wen Yan nodded thoughtfully.

Le Yu thought for a while, and it seemed that Master didn't say that he couldn't take people there. "You want to go? Let's go then."

Tianchi is surrounded by twelve peaks, and the water of Xiarong Lake is as blue as the sky.

The house Le Yu lived in was the residence of the disciples who used to guard the Tianchi Lake. A few years ago, it was rumored that the snow lotus flower in Tianshan Mountain can stimulate the menstrual flow and activate blood circulation, delay aging, and enhance power.Therefore, it attracts many lunatics who are not afraid of death, and go deep into Tianchi to steal flowers!But since Taoist Tianxin took charge of Tianshan, no one dared to commit any crimes.This room was left empty until Le Yu was punished.
A wooden bridge flies in the sky, like a rainbow drinking from a stream.

The two crossed the wooden bridge one after the other and came to Tianchi.

Surrounded by spruces and shining with snow-capped peaks, the deep blue Tianchi Lake is chilling to the bone, but the pool is still as warm as spring, and the birds compete to bathe and chatter each other, just like a picture.

Wen Yan looked at the unpredictable Tianchi and said in surprise: "Brother, are you going down to get the sword?"

Le Yu nodded, he had already removed his clothes.

But for the water, Wen Yan squatted down to touch the water.

"It's so cold! How can we get down here?"

Seeing Wenyan's timid look, Le Yu smiled and said nothing more: "I'm going down, you wait for me here, don't run around." After speaking, Le Yu took a deep breath and jumped into the pool.

"Hey, brother!"

After Le Yu sneaked in, he opened his eyes and looked around, but it was a different scene.The dead trees are connected here, and the broken branches are floating. It is very difficult to find it. Where is the sword that Master is looking for?

The temperature under the pool is enough to freeze an ordinary person to death, but Le Yu soaked in Tianchi every day, he has already gotten used to the temperature here, and his breath holding time is also different from ordinary people.

He swam to a slightly higher rock and looked around. The water was a little muddy, but he could still see a dark anomaly in the northwest.There must be something unusual in an unusual place, Le Yu hurriedly swam to the dark place.There are many thorns at the bottom of the water, and while trying to avoid the thorns, Le Yu swam slowly to the depths.

There are long dead tree trunks and branches scattered here and there; rocks of different sizes are also scattered around.Just when Le Yu was about to reach the dark place, he found a black shadow swimming there, approaching him.

When Le Yu took a closer look, he couldn't help being surprised!A group of discus-shaped fish with dark surfaces swarmed.I heard from Master that this kind of fish is extremely ferocious when they gather together, and they are extremely sensitive to blood.If it is treated as prey, it will be fatal at least, and there will be no bones left at worst.

But how did I attract this group of things?He glanced inadvertently, only to find that there was a bloody hole on the left side of his right arm.

Le Yu cried out inwardly: Oh no!It was the thorns just now, and the blood must have caught their attention.

Seeing that the school of fish was approaching, Le Yu struck out with one palm!But it is weak.It was only then that Le Yu realized that he was in the water, and his palms had no effect.

But the discus fish was close at hand, and he threw a few more punches, but almost got bitten!Le Yu was secretly anxious, he could only hold his breath for a quarter of an hour at most, so he had to hurry up.

The smell of blood around him was getting stronger and stronger, and his strength was getting weaker and weaker, but how could he just go back empty-handed like this?Fortunately, he is proficient in light work, jumping while swimming, picking up dead branches and going towards the discus fishbone from time to time.

He swam to the dark place with difficulty and searched for a long time but found nothing.Gradually the school of fish was approaching again, but he still got nothing.

Le Yu suddenly remembered the picking up and putting down that Master mentioned earlier. I was cut on the thorns just now, and I was attacked by these discus fish. Is it possible that the sword that Master asked me to find is there?

Regardless, you must try it!While waving dead branches to fend off the attacks of fish schools, Le Yu dragged his gradually tired body back to swim.

He braced his weak legs and swam to the place where the thorns had stabbed him before. He found that there were several uneven sandy places at the bottom. He dug towards one of them for a long time, but he didn't find anything.

Strange. But the school of fish behind him didn't allow him to think too much.He made a decisive decision and swam towards several rock piles surrounded by uneven sand.He overturned the rock pile with all his strength and dug his way to the bottom; his panting became heavier and his digging slower and slower.

This is?The hilt!Le Yu was overjoyed and immediately pulled it out.

This sword looks unremarkable, is this the one Master is talking about?
In an instant, dozens of discus fish attacked and surrounded Le Yu instantly.

Damn it!Previously, bare hands could not do anything to you, but now this sword seems useless, but it should be more than enough to deal with you.Le Yu stood still, held the hilt of the sword with his backhand, and showed the sword body, chopping horizontally and vertically, without any rules, but quite effective.

Le Yu was cutting happily, but found that his breathing was not smooth.Blood rushed into his mouth suddenly, he coughed a few times, and then began to struggle.

Oops!It cannot be delayed any longer.Le Yu swung his sword forward, opening a path of blood.He jumped out of the encirclement of the discus fish and jumped out of the water.

Poof. Le Yu spat out the water in his mouth and fell to the ground.

"Brother, what's wrong with you?" Wen Yan hurried forward.

Le Yu raised his hand, still gasping for breath.

"It's dangerous. I almost couldn't make it"

Wen Yan covered her mouth: "Ah! Chixia is so dangerous?"

Le Yu smiled: "Coward, why don't you go down and try?"

Wen Yan quickly waved her hand: "I don't want it."

"Hey, is this the sword Master asked you to take?" Wen Yan pointed to the sword Le Yu was holding.

"That's right, look." Le Yu handed the sword to Wen Yan.

Wen Yan looked at it for a long time, then shook her head: "It's a very ordinary sword."

"Exactly! You said the same thing; in order to find this sword, I almost died below." Le Yu still had lingering fears.

"Maybe this sword has magical power?" Wen Yan said.

Le Yu shrugged: "Who knows, anyway, there must be none now, otherwise I wouldn't have almost died there."

Strange to say, I was so tired and breathless at the bottom of the pool, but now I seem to be fine.

"By the way, Senior Brother Yan Xin came here just now and said that Master asked you to go to the main hall to find him immediately after you get the sword." Wen Yan interrupted Le Yu's thoughts.

"understood."

What kind of medicine does Master sell in the gourd?Le Yu muttered.

"Go, brother! What are you thinking?" Wen Yan shouted.

"You're so annoying! Can't you take a breather?" Le Yu said.

The dense fog faded, and the lotus outside the temple seemed to be on fire. At that time, it had not yet bloomed.

Le Yu hadn't been to the main hall for a long time, and the past was vivid in his memory; he didn't dare to hesitate, holding his sword with both hands.

"Master, is this the sword you want your disciple to find?"

Tianxin took the sword and looked at the blade: "Well, very good. Do you know the origin of this sword?"

"Disciple is dull, please tell Master clearly." Le Yu said.

"This sword is called Ice Shadow Sword. Do you wonder why this sword is so dim and useless at the bottom of the water?" Tian Xin said.

"But it's been too long at the bottom?" Le Yu asked.

"You're right about one of them. The most important thing is that it needs sunlight." Tian Xin said.

Le Yu was taken aback: "Sunshine?"

"Yes, there is no light at the bottom of the water, that is, there is no shadow, so you can't use the Ice Shadow Sword at the bottom of the water. Come with me to the Xuanwu field and see how the master controls this sword." Tianxin said.

"Yes, Master." When Le Yu looked up, he found that Tian Xin had long since disappeared, so he hurriedly followed.

The Xuanwu field is where Tianxin practices martial arts, and ordinary disciples can't get close to it.

The noon sun is the time when the direct rays are the most violent. Tianxin stands on the Xuanwu field, known as a fairy.

Master is not going to teach me some martial arts, right?Le Yu muttered.

"Look!" Tianxin shouted.

He dances with his sword.Under the sunlight, the sword seemed to fade away from its gloom, gradually revealing an unusual side.The shadow of the sword accompanied him, and the light from the Ice Shadow Sword blended with the scorching sun, and it was impossible to tell whether it was sunlight or sword energy.

"I don't know if it's been too long since I saw the sun, but it looks very excited."

Tian Xin gently wiped the sword with a chamois cloth.

Le Yu opened his mouth wide: "Swords also have feelings?"

"Everything has aura; you have been in Tianshan for five years, but you have asked yourself, what have you learned?"

"This..." Le Yu thought a lot these days when he was punished, but he couldn't figure out why.He wants to be plain, but if he stays plain for too long, he will be bored.What can he do if he goes down the mountain?How could he go down the mountain and see the outside world with his previous experience in Tianchi?

"Tianshan is too small to accommodate you," Tianxin said.

Le Yu suddenly raised his head: "How can I not know the master's intentions? If I hadn't soaked in Tianchi every day, how would I have a strong body today, and how could I sneak into the bottom of the pool and find the sword?"

Tian Xin shook her head: "Not enough."

"Tu'er once ran with the rabbit, and also met the wild boar catching prey, and how the red deer escaped from the bear's paw."

Le Yu went on to say: "Tu'er once saw a wolf crawling on the snow. If there was no prey in front and no natural enemies in the back, then it would never walk fast, because it felt that if it used its strength to walk It would be a pity."

Tian Xin nodded, but still said: "It's not enough."

"I always hear that my brothers and sisters say that learning martial arts is to punish evil and promote good, but here I don't know what is good and what is evil."

"My disciples have also listened to Master's teachings many times. Master warned us that learning martial arts is only one aspect. What needs to be realized is why you learn martial arts. Only when you know why you learn martial arts can you stimulate your full potential; but here, I can't Realize why you learn martial arts."

Tianxin smiled suddenly: "I will give this sword to you as a gift for leaving the teacher."

"What? Becoming a teacher? You, Master" Le Yu couldn't believe his ears.

"That's right, my teacher helped you lay the foundation here. As for the future, you have to explore by yourself; it is for this reason that many Tianshan disciples are wandering around. This teacher does not want to turn you into people who have no desires and no desires. You I have realized that I think you will definitely make a career, and forcing you to stay here is counterproductive."

Master Le Yu tightly grasped the sword handed over by Tianxin.

"Disciple must live up to Master's expectations and carry forward the glory of Tianshan Mountain!"

"Le Yu, letting go is an indispensable part of life, but it is also extremely difficult. It's just that many people have never really owned it, so they can't be called letting go, so you have to pick it up first, which is especially important for you." Tianxin said.

Le Yu bowed: "Disciple must keep Master's teachings in mind."

Tian Xin nodded: "Rest for a night, then go down the mountain."
