  Chapter 10 Perching Phoenix Valley

Leaving Riverfacing Lane, Zuo Lingquan bought a piece from the cart A good dark horse, after asking the locals for directions, he galloped towards Perching Phoenix Valley alone.

Perching Phoenix Valley is only thirty miles away from the capital, located on the outskirts of the city, backed by Evergreen Mountain.

Zuo Lingquan was speeding along the straight avenue, and within one hour, he found a small town at the end of the road.

At the end of the town is an octagonal archway with the letters “Perching Phoenix Valley”. Behind the archway is a ten-mile willow forest. You can see the corners of some of the buildings and the mountains at the end of the field.

In the early morning, the silhouette of the town is sparse, only a few medicinal farmers who dug up medicine ingredients to sell.

Zuo Lingquan drove through the town and came to the octagonal archway.

There are four youngsters standing under the archway. As a guard, I saw Zuo Lingquan coming. One of them stepped forward and raised his hand:

   ”Young Master please hold your steps, Perching Phoenix Valley outsider” No entry, do you have a guide?”

Zuo Lingquan took out the jade pendant from his arms and handed it to the other party: “Under Zuo Lingquan, people from Qinghe County have longed for Perching Phoenix Valley in their hearts. I’m here to pay a visit today, I wonder if Brother can introduce me?”

The youngster headed by took over the sign and saw the character’Wu’ on the back, and then looked up at Zuo Lingquan, which included said with a smile:

p>

“It turned out to be you. Cai Guli said hello, saying that someone came over with a sign and took you directly to the Pill Item House to see Martial Uncle Wu. Let’s go, I’ll take you there.”

Zuo Lingquan didn’t say much when he saw this. He and the youngster turned on their horses and entered the octagonal archway.

Perching Phoenix Valley is located in the mountains, and the ten-mile willow forest on the outside is just to isolate outsiders and does not live there. It is more like a beautiful landscape garden.

The two of them drove side by side, and within a quarter of an hour, they came to the foot of the mountain that separated the earth.

The Evergreen Mountain mountain range stretches for thousands of miles across the west side of the Great Dan Dynasty. The mountain in front of it is only part of it, named Perching Phoenix Ridge.

When the mountains stretched to here, I wonder if it was due to geological activities that cracked, causing an opening between the mountains. The cliffs on both sides cut out like sharp blades, and you can vaguely see a waterfall in the depths. When it falls, a rainbow emerges under the sunshine in the spring, and the scenery is absolutely beautiful. nothing more beautiful can be imagined.

Zuo Lingquan turned over and dismounted, and walked into the valley with the youngster. The scenery in front of him was suddenly clear-the corridors, pavilions and pavilions were continuous, and many volleys were built on the cliffs; there was one in the middle. On the huge square, you can see hundreds of people doing morning exercises; the square is surrounded by lofts and green plants, and you can see a few white cranes hovering in the sky. If you look at it, it really has several points of Peach Garden.

Zuo Lingquan is a newcomer and is not familiar with Perching Phoenix Valley. He followed the youngster who led the way and turned left and turned right. After walking for some distance, he came to a small lake on the side of the square.

The small lake is full of lotus, and in the middle is a school with bamboo curtains hanging on all sides.

There are futons in the school. Dozens of people sit in a circle. The longest are seventeen or eighteen, and the youngest are five or six years old. They are all enthusiastically listening to the book case. An elder preached:

   ”… Back then, I was in Linyuan City, Great Yan country, and I saw a strange woman coming by the wind, hanging above the imperial city, and the emperor of the Great Yan country went out of the city to greet him personally. The scene, you dolls don’t have a good cultivation, you can’t see it in your whole life…”

Zuo Lingquan listened carefully while walking. His impression of the people in the cultivation came from the storyteller in the market, except for knowing There is a Great Yan Dynasty outside the Northern Pass, and nothing else is known.

At this time in the Perching Phoenix Valley, Zuo Lingquan was curious to hear these strange things, and asked the youngster who led the way next:

  ”I grew up in Qinghe County since I was a child, and I was very concerned about Great Dan. I rarely hear about things outside of Dynasty, can Brother tell me?”

The youngster who leads the way, is young but friendly, he hears words, slows down a bit, and walks side by side with Zuo Lingquan :

“Just call me Wang Rui. I entered Perching Phoenix Valley when I was six, and I have never left in ten years. I don’t know much about the outside world. However, I have heard the teacher talk about it before.”

p>

Seeing this, Zuo Lingquan also slowed down, acting like a listener.

Wang Rui’s face was obviously looking forward to yearning. After thinking about it, he said seriously:

“Great Dan Dynasty speaking of which is just a small place, with the sea in the southeast and the west Evergreen Mountain’s veins are isolated, and it can only be said to be a remote country in the world.

The Great Yan Dynasty outside the customs is different. A state may be larger than ours, but the secular dynasty matters, specifically me I don’t know, I only know that there are nine cultivation sects outside, and they are called’Southern Nine Sects’. Our Old Ancestor in Perching Phoenix Valley is from the’Shock Dew Platform’, one of the Nine Sects.

Now if there is an outstanding dísciple in Perching Phoenix Valley, the teachers will also send people to the Shock Dew Platform of the Great Yan Dynasty based on this source of incense. It’s a pity that I was injured when I went out to practice, otherwise I’m still staying there.”

Zuo Lingquan slightly nodded, after carefully memorizing these words, I asked all those who are new to cultivation, they will Questions asked:

“People over there will fly through the skies or escaping through the ground?”

Wang Rui spread his hands and shook his head:

“I haven’t been there, how do you know. But the teacher said that the cultivation is divided into’refining Qi, Spirit Valley, Serene Groove, Jade Step, Forgotten Intent’five realms, one step by step heavenly ascension.

Those who enter Serene Groove can fly through the skies or escaping through the ground by means of artifacts, and those who enter Jade Step can fly the fleshy body into the air. We Perching Phoenix Valley, it is Sect Master and a few uncles who entered the valley, this This kind of expert is invisible to us.”

Zuo Li ngquan looked thoughtful nodded, pondered slightly, and looked towards his own long sword:

“Among these sects, is the sword particularly powerful? “

Perching Phoenix Valley are all swordsmen. Wang Rui is naturally interested in this issue. He looked towards Zuo Lingquan’s sword and said with a little pride:

   ”We Perching Phoenix Valley I learned from Shock Dew Platform, and let me say that the one who uses swords outside is definitely Shock Dew Platform. However, Sect Master once said that there is a “Sword Emperor City” besides Nine Sects, which is very powerful. I dare to challenge Nine Sects. The cultivator over there is specifically called the “sword cultivator”. There is also a “Nine”. Sects Eight Venerable Lord, the ten sword kings of Central Continent’. It’s a pity that Sect Master has only heard about it, and I don’t know the specifics…”

During the chat between the two, after passing the lake, about a quarter of an hour later, they finally stopped by a bamboo forest. Come down.

The bamboo forest is close to the back of the valley. From the periphery, you can see a building on the mountainside, near the waterfall you saw when you came in.

“Martial Uncle Wu is on top, I won’t go in, you can just say hello to someone below and explain what you are here. “

Wang Rui went to the entrance of the bamboo forest without saying any more, raised his hand and turned and left.

Zuo Lingquan walked into the bamboo forest with a sword in his hand after bidding farewell. On the trail, I saw a few bamboo houses along the way. Many young girls gathered in the bamboo houses, or smashed medicine to cool the sun, or sat in a close-knot. When he passed by, he would take a curious look.

Zuo Lingquan came under the cliff, and was about to ask about the girls who were making medicine in the distance, and let them inform him of it. On the top of the cliff, the upper body of a person protruded.

Zuo Lingquan looked up, but saw that under the warm spring sun, the roar of the waterfall brought a hazy rainbow. A woman in a light green dress was standing on the edge of the cliff, looking down.

The woman glanced down.

I can’t tell the age, but the apricot-eyed eyebrows, the graceful figure, the temperament and the appearance are more mature. It may be more appropriate to describe it as a woman. The black hair is rolled up, and the hairpin is not inserted, only tied with a hairband, and a face is white and unmarked. There is no powder, the dress is thin and there are no accessories. It looks very clean. Under the support of spring and waterfall, there is even a feeling of Immortal Qi fluttering.

Zuo Lingquan blinked, no Too sure if this woman is’Martial Uncle Wu’, after a glance at each other,
  she raised her hand politely :
“Under Zuo Lingquan, dare to ask senior but Martial Uncle Wu? “

After finishing speaking, I waited for a reply.

The woman above did not speak. After looking down, her figure disappeared from the cliff.

Zuo Lingquan thought that the other party was going to come down for an interview, so he stood upright under the cliff and waited quietly…

——

   Above the cliff, the waterfall roared.

The platform that comes out is three feet wide and about ten zhang or so long, with a curved stone ladder on the left leading to the bottom of the cliff, and on the right directly under the waterfall.

At the entrance of the stone ladder, a wooden room is built. The house, close to the waterfall, is an empty rock flat, where you want to come to practice martial arts. There is also a stone platform on the edge of the cliff wall for people to sit on. Looking out, you can see the whole picture of the picturesque Perching Phoenix Valley.

Wu Qingwan, wearing a light green long skirt, retracted his gaze from the edge of the stone platform, and looked towards the letter in his hand, a little puzzled in his eyes like water.

Wu Qingwan It is the little discipline of Imperial Teacher Yue Pingyang, ranked fifth among the teachers of Perching Phoenix Valley, and is in charge of the Pil Item House, one of the five rooms; Princess Long Li’s martial arts is taught by her and is considered to be the teacher of Jiang Yi.

However, Princess Long Li does not call Wu Qingwan Master.

First, because the Imperial Princess has a special status, he can only worship the Imperial Teacher according to the rules.

The birth mother of Princess Long Li, Empress Liu, went out of Jintang County with Wu Qingwan. She knew each other at an early age, and she loved sisters, so Princess Long Li called her’auntie’ since childhood.

Princess Long Li 6 At the age of Perching Phoenix Valley cultivation, she was brought up by Wu Qingwan personally. She is half a Princess.

Although Jiang Yi has been back to the palace for nearly four years and has been gathering little and divorced, she still has a strong attitude towards Princess. Understanding-appearance is strong and active, born with the arrogance of the Imperial Family, but inside is delicate and considerate, knowing’introspection’.

I used to be in Perching Phoenix Va Lley and Jiang Yi have been helping Wu Qingwan discipline many apprentice sisters. No matter how angry they are, they will act in accordance with the principle of fairness and justice. They will never be partial to anyone because of their own opinions, let alone complain to Wu Qingwan. Up.

But at this moment, Wu Qingwan saw the letter in his hand and couldn’t understand how much wrong Jiang Yi had suffered before writing these things.

What’s “Don’t reveal my identity, let him hang out for a long time, when he can’t bear to look around, say he is not sincere and let him go.” If he doesn’t leave, let him go to Daily Life House washes the clothes”Wash the clothes and go to the animal pen to bathe the white crane’…

Isn’t this bullying?

Wu Qingwan has been repairing in the mountains since he was a child. He likes to live alone and ignore foreign affairs. He doesn’t even have a few dísciples. He has neither interest nor can’t do this kind of tossing people.

However, Jiang Yi called her’Auntie’, and he was able to write this kind of letter of’letters crying blood’ uncharacteristically, indicating that she was really offended by the child below. If she didn’t do anything, Jiang Yi will not be easy to explain when she comes next time.

Wu Qingwan put away the letter, hesitated a little, and still followed Princess Long Li’s instructions, without immediately taking care of Zuo Lingquan, thinking of letting Zuo Lingquan stand for a long time, and then talk about other things.

As a result, the bamboo forest fell silent, no more movement…
