Chapter 29 Xuanwu and Liuli
The swordsmanship ceremony is in full swing. Li Changan missed the swordsmanship these two days because he has been practicing for two days.
When he left the room on the third day, he looked at the slowly drooping sunset above the sea of clouds, Li Changan, who was not happy with the noise, also became less interested in watching the ceremony.
After being seriously injured by Jian Wuji, Xiao Yichen fed Li Changan a Guiyuan Pill. After two days of absorption, Guiyuan Pill has been completely refined, and Li Changan's injuries have also healed.
Li Changan, who was idle, went to Taiyuan Pavilion and only found out when he arrived at Taiyuan Pavilion. Liu Bai was watching the ceremony in Xuantian Pavilion. Ouyang Qian was so busy that he couldn't get along. After chatting with Ouyang Qian for a few words, Li Changan did not continue to disturb Ouyang Qian.
In the residence of disciples in Taiyuan Pavilion, Li Changan did not show Aman and Liu Chengen. After inquiring, he found out that these two people were sent out by Ouyang Qian to entertain guests.
Xuantian Pavilion has Chengtian Sword Platform and Baiyu Square, Zhujian Pavilion has a back mountain sword tomb, Yujian Pavilion has a sword tower, and Bajian Pavilion has a Kunlun giant sword that stretches across the world before. Lingkong Pavilion also has a hundred-story Lingkong Tower. It seems that in addition to Liuyun Pavilion, the other eight pavilions have scenic buildings in their own pavilions.
Li Changan has a lot of feelings for Taiyuan Pavilion. After all, this is the place where his father once practiced. Taking advantage of his leisure now, he plans to walk around Taiyuan Pavilion.
After walking aimlessly for a while, Li Changan came to the unique scenery of Taiyuan Pavilion. The other pavilions are mostly buildings, but the unique scenery of Taiyuan Pavilion is a huge white turtle. This turtle is called Xuanwu.
According to the "Chu Ci·Full Journey", "It is very scattered and lush, and I summoned Xuanwu and ran away." Hong Xingzu added the notes: "Xuanwu means a turtle and snake. It is located in the north, so it is called Xuan. It has scales, so it is called Wu."
Xuanwu is the turtle and snake entangled with each other. The two are closely related, and their lives are one and difficult to separate. However, this Xuanwu in Taiyuan Pavilion is different from the Xuanwu in the record. This Xuanwu only has a turtle, but no snake.
Speaking of this Xuanwu, we need to mention Fusangzi, the founder of the Nine Heavens Sword Sect. Before ascending to the sky, Fusangzi saved a Xuanwu in Tongtianhai, but this Xuanwu was dying at that time and was in short order. After the treatment of Fusangzi, who was kind by nature, he finally saved the turtle in Xuanwu and survived.
After the turtle was rescued by Fusangzi, it became her mount; after Fusangzi ascended to the sky, the turtle waded in the open space of Taiyuan Pavilion and had not moved for thousands of years.
This old turtle may be too old and often sleepy, but it occasionally opens its eyes and exhales, but it will fall asleep again soon.
The turtle's four-legged feet curled up into its shell, its body was huge, covering an area of one mile. Li Changan walked to the turtle's back foot, looked up at the sleepy old turtle, and walked slowly towards the turtle's head along the turtle's crisscrossing patterns on the turtle's body.
It took Li Changan a quarter of an hour to walk from the back foot to the front foot.
Standing at where Li Changan is now, looking up, you can see the head of the old turtle. The head of the old turtle was curled up into his body, and it seemed that it was still sleeping. Below the old turtle curled up, a young monk wearing a white robe sat cross-legged. The little monk's lips were closed, as if he was reciting scriptures.
Li Changan did not want to disturb the little monk's chanting, so he stopped here.
This little monk has beautiful eyebrows, red lips and white teeth, and looks as beautiful as a woman. Li Changan looked at his clothes and guessed that the little monk should be from Lanke Temple.
There were two people standing not far from the little monk. The man standing in front was tall and fat, full of arrogance, and full of arrogant face; the other man was ordinary in appearance, standing behind the fat man with a humble face, full of servility.
Li Changan knew these two people. He met them when he was climbing the mountain in Wanren, Kunlun.
These two people are Chen Pingping and Zhao Ke. Chen Pingping is the only son of Chen Beixuan, the commander of the northern suburbs. He was ranked in the top five in Kunlun Wanren, while Zhao Ke ranked eleventh in Kunlun Wanren. Both of them finally joined the Yunluo Dao Sect.
Zhao Ke said to Chen Pingping beside him: "Senior Brother Chen, I heard that this old turtle is almost a lifetime. Is this true or false?"
Chen Pingping snorted and said, "I guess the things you are talking about are just rumors that those good-fighting people from the Nine Heavens Sword Sect are circulating! "
Zhao Ke nodded in agreement with a servile face, "That's right! How could this turtle live ten thousand years? I guess it's the same as what my senior brother said, it's a rumor spread from the people of the Jiutian Sword Sect!"
The little monk may have finished reciting the scriptures, or perhaps was disturbed by Chen Pingping and Zhao Ke, but in short, he stopped reciting; he stood up and looked at Chen Pingping and Zhao Ke without saying a word, just quietly.
Zhao Ke was stared at by the little monk and pretended to be angry: "What are you watching us? Who are you?"
The little monk did not speak, but picked up a dead branch and saw Chen Pingping and Zhao Ke looking at him. He first pointed to the old turtle, and then wrote on the ground with the branches, "Wanzai Sheng."
Chen Pingping frowned and asked bluntly: "Can't you talk?"
The little monk in white robes nodded and wrote on the ground: "No."
"So it's a mute..." Zhao Ke walked to the little monk and said with his power: "You little monk, don't talk nonsense! Why do you say that this turtle has a lifespan of thousands of years?"
The little monk wrote: "It said to me."
Chen Pingping rolled his eyes and said disdainfully: "Nothing."
Zhao Ke nodded and said, "Senior Brother Chen is saying!"
Looking at the backs of Chen Pingping and Zhao Ke getting farther and farther away, Li Changan trotted a few steps to the little monk and asked curiously: "Do you think you can talk to it?"
The little monk turned around and looked at Li Changan and nodded, writing: "Yes."
There are all kinds of wonders in the world; for Li Changan, compared to Jian Wuji, a stranger who has learned the sword intent without practicing sword techniques, it is easier for the young monk to talk to strange beasts.
Li Changan clasped his fist at the little monk and said, "I am here to Li Changan, I wonder what your magic number is?"
The little monk lowered his head and wrote: "I know you, the little monk Liuli."
It seems that Liuli is the Buddhist name of this little monk, but the little monk said he knew him, which surprised Li Changan a little. He asked, "Do you know me?"
The little monk Liuli nodded and wrote with the branch: "I have seen you make a move when I was trying to test the sword." The little monk thought of the last strike of the sword that day, and hesitated for a moment, and wrote: "The donor seems to be very angry."
Li Changan was puzzled and asked, "Why do you say that?"
The little monk Liuli wrote: "Feeling."
Li Changan smiled and asked, "Is there a way to escape, which can relieve my great anger?"
The young monk took two steps back and wrote a long passage on the ground: "The Buddha is born from the heart. There is a Buddha in the heart. Everything you see is Buddha; if there is excitement in the heart, everything will be angry; I hope that the donor can abide by his nature and not fall into the path of demons." Liuli put his hands together, silently recited "Amitabha" in his heart, and then turned around and left.
