Chapter 861 Bamboo Hall(1/2)
Lu Jinghong suddenly fell silent and was at a loss.
I saw a snow-white sword light suddenly overflowing behind the courtyard wall covered with green vines in front.
Before the sword energy reached their feet, it was already blowing and cutting their robes like a knife, making a sound.
Lu Jinghong and Li Wan took a few steps back, and were speechless.
I wonder why this great lady is in a bad mood.
Behind the courtyard wall, a cold sound came:
"Say it again, the last time, this sect has no Yinjun, that person has nothing to do with this sect, and he doesn't want to do it. If someone speculates randomly, it is equivalent to bullying Jianze. I will teach him good-looking!"
The candle in the snow clanged and emphasized.
Lu Jinghong and Li Wan looked at each other.
Lu Jinghong's eyes were a little skeptical. Fortunately, the courtyard wall was blocking it, and Xue Zhu and others in the courtyard could not see his expression, otherwise they would have been "teached" to look good.
Feeling that the atmosphere was not right, Li Wan pulled Lalu Jinghong's cuff, and the latter reacted and hurriedly clasped his fists:
"Yes...yes, Your Excellency, Master Damn! I was just talking nonsense and gossiping."
Xue Zhongzhu was silent for a while, not knowing what he was thinking, but seemed to ask Li Wan and others, but also seemed to be talking to himself:
"Does all the people in the world think that person has to do with us now..."
Lu Jinghong and Li Wan were a little puzzled when they heard this. They obviously had a story, but they also learned to be smart. They should ask less about the gossip between these big names...
If they were still at the foot of the secular mountain and in the north, they were of course considered noble, but when they arrived in this outskirts and the territory of the hidden sect, there was no royal law, order, money, power, or even fame. Of course, whoever has a higher cultivation level and a bigger fist, whoever has the right one is right.
The reason for this great lady in the yard is of course the largest in Jianze, and even one of Yunmeng's largest.
Snow Candle asked softly:
"Did the third junior sister say where to go?"
Li Wan shook her head:
"No, but before my sister-in-law left, someone came to find her."
"who?"
Li Wan recalled:
"It was a female guest who asked his clan to bring a message to his sister-in-law, saying that he was an old friend of Yunmeng. Well, I don't know if he was from the noble clan. By the way, some clan members saw that the female guest had a red gourd hanging on her waist."
The candle in the snow suddenly sounded:
"Fourth Junior Sister?!"
Li Wan shook her head:
"Maybe, I don't know, I only know that after receiving this guest, my sister-in-law left that night, and she left in a hurry, and she didn't leave a single explanation. However, at that time, the trouble of our five surnames was almost solved...
"In the back, no one knew where my sister-in-law went. When I and Jinghong went south to worship their ancestors, she did not come back."
The yard was quiet for a while.
Lu Jinghong and Li Wan were waiting honestly. It was strange that there should be many mosquitoes in this wilderness, even though they were in the lake.
But the two people near the courtyard were surprisingly not exposed to biting mosquitoes.
There was a faint fragrance around the courtyard, and I don’t know if this is the reason.
When Li Wan and her son were a little distracted, the snow-crawler spoke again:
"I understand."
The indifference in her voice dissipated a little, and she said lightly:
"Lu Jinghong, right?"
"It's right down!"
"Do you know that when I meet you for the first time, I know that I am a member of the third junior sister? To be honest, the bloodline of your Fanyang Lu family is very special. Women and men are all handsome and beautiful, and most of them have similar eyebrows. You can tell that they are the Fanyang Lu family at a glance."
Li Wan smiled and said: "It is true. This matter is often talked about in the clan circles of Luoyang..."
The candle in the snow ignored it and continued to say coldly:
"It would be great if you were a girl. No matter what, Jianze only accepted women but not men. This is an iron rule. It has never been broken in a thousand years. Not to mention the third junior sister, I cannot violate it. This is not only the rule set by the first generation of Virgin Yue, but also because the Taoist vein inherited by this sect is only suitable for women, so naturally it is not acceptable for men.
"Although Qi Refining Art cannot teach you, swordsmanship can be done. As the first sect of swordsmanship in the world, this sect never stands firm and is selfish in swordsmanship. This sect has always welcomed top sword cultivators or swordsmanship geniuses in the world to come and ask about swordsmanship. Whether it is the Taogu swordsmanship that once every five years or the bamboo hall that has been established for a hundred years, they are all for promoting swordsmanship, climbing swordsmanship with swordsmanship in the world, and leaving more exquisite swordsmanship to future generations."
Lu Jinghong felt excited when he heard this, his mouth was dry and he nodded vigorously: "What the boy wants to learn most is swordsmanship, I hope the great lady can accomplish it!"
"Have you ever heard of the bamboo hall?"
“Yes, I heard.”
"Although this sect's Bamboo Hall is at the edge of this sect and does not have the authority to enter some secret places deep in this sect, it is the only place where outsiders can stay. Foreign sword cultivators, regardless of men or women, must have morality, nature, and roots and bones that meet the requirements. After passing the test, they can be delisted. Entering the Bamboo Hall for three years of cultivation in the Qing Dynasty, you can get some resources provided by this sect. During this period, you can discuss swords and improve the sword path. If you are successful, before you leave, go to the cliff and pick a sword with your ability."
Lu Jinghong's key points:
"The famous name of the bamboo hall is as impressive as thunder. There have been many respectable sword cultivators in the bamboo hall, which have benefited the sword world in the world."
The candle in the snow said in a surprisingly serious look:
"This is also the original intention of the establishment of the Bamboo Hall. The true sword cultivator is not a matter of gender. It is enough to hear the truth in the morning and die in the evening. The true sword art is definitely not monopolized by one household. My Yunmeng Jianze is no exception..."
She turned the subject back and said calmly:
"But I will not allow you to be admitted directly to the bamboo hall. This is unfair to those sword-drawn sword cultivators who enter the bamboo hall with their own abilities and great perseverance, and is an insult to them.
"Even if you are a member of the third junior sister, I believe that if the third junior sister is here, you will stand up and refuse, and even have stricter requirements for you.
"So, I only give you a chance to enter the bamboo hall. Remember, it is an opportunity, otherwise you have been removed from the three nostalgias of this sect. Now, you have a chance to screen for entry.
"It just so happened that these two days are also the time for our sect to recruit a new group of Yue girls into the sect. Those new girls will also be screened and enter the halls with their abilities... You must have met them when you first came."
"I have seen the great lady, and they are all people who are about the same age as the boy."
"Well, you can seize the opportunity yourself. If you want to stay, then rely on your ability. Although because of the special bloodline of your Fanyang Lu family, you may be as talented as the third junior sister... But I will not give you any privileges, follow the process.
"In addition, among this group of newcomers, there are also a few boys who will participate in the selection of the bamboo hall. You will be with them. If you are lucky enough to enter the bamboo hall, you remember to be arrogant and impatient. There are not many sword cultivators in the bamboo hall at present. In the battle of Xingzi Lake Buddha, many sword cultivators were sacrificed... There are still some introverted people, some have bad tempers, some are easy to talk to, and are willing to be seniors to teach people. You have more eyesight and learn from them, but don't disturb the purity of the hall."
Lu Jinghong took a deep breath and clasped his fists solemnly:
"Thank you, great lady, who can give you the opportunity, I'm so grateful."
However, he looked confident and not depressed at all, but was a little eager to try.
Candle in the snow shook her head gently:
"It's not the chance I give you, but you are yourself. Being able to come south to worship your ancestors is considered perseverance, and you are also a person who never forgets your roots... In addition, do you know why your ancestor came south to Yunmeng three hundred years ago?"
Lu Jinghong was stunned and shook his head:
"No, I don't know, aren't you fleeing?"
Xue Zhongzhu murmured: "Is it escaping... In the words of the master, it is indeed a 'difficulty', the disaster that has been with the shadows of ancestors for generations..."
Her words paused.
However, Lu Jinghong and Mrs. Li outside the wall heard the tone of this great lady with some inexplicable pity, and I don’t know who it was to:
"Fanyang Lu family, Fanyang Lu family... Okay, go back and prepare well. Remember, don't be humiliated by the glory of your ancestors, don't be as smart as your mother, remember the family tradition and virtue of your Fanyang Lu family. If you have achieved success and have strong abilities, don't let your sister-in-law take on some things alone. You are a man of the Fanyang Lu family, and you must do your responsibility... go."
Lu Jinghong was confused after hearing it.
Li Wan, who was beside her, looked a little embarrassed when she heard Xue Zhongzhu call her, and looked around.
However, the noble lady, half-old Xu, had experienced a lot, and naturally had a thicker face, so she pretended not to hear it.
When Xue Zhongzhu finished explaining, she asked timidly:
"The great lady, I don't know if I can stay. I am a woman... Of course, it's not about joining Jianze, but just trying to stay by Jinghong's side and take care of him. I live with his father in two places. I have been in Luoyang for a long time and can't get away. I have been with him for a few, but now his father is gone..."
When Lu Jinghong heard this, he looked impatient. If it weren't for the great lady here, he would have had to take care of his mother's affectionate relationship, and he would have complained or even started arguing.
Li Wan glared at him, but he was about to say something but stopped. After winking, the woman took out the pink handkerchief, wiped the corners of her eyes, and sobbed slightly:
"I don't know if Jian Zeyun doesn't allow his family to come in... I've known my mistakes about the past. I hope the great lady will give me a chance to correct me."
Candle in the snow pondered for a moment:
"Yes, but Jianze has many rules. Many places prohibit outsiders from entering. Don't run around. In addition, if you lie again, if you commit another lies, I will not care about the relationship between Junior Sister San and the Lu family of Fanyang. You can do it yourself."
Li Wan shook her head vigorously, her face with rain, and she burst into tears in an instant:
"Yes, yes, I will definitely not commit it again. Thank you for your magnanimity."
I talked a lot tonight and talked so much, but I don’t know what memories it brought about, but Xue Zhongzhu was a little absent-minded.
"Okay, go back."
"yes!"
Lu Jinghong and Li Wan turned around together and went down the mountain.
On the mountain road, the middle-aged Yue girl stood under the moon and waited. The two followed her again, returned on the same road, boarded the raft, and left the island.
The raft sailed back to the original island.
