The Sword of Smiling and Proud

Chapter 43
The journey was uneventful, Guan Yuan was in charge of driving the car, Hou'er and Shu Qi got in the car to sleep, and got out to play around.

After crossing the Han River, passing through Chang'an, and passing through Weinan, the three of them returned to Huashan within a month.

Standing in front of the mountain gate, Hou'er and Shu Qi were amazed at the steep Huashan mountain road leading straight into the sea of ​​clouds, and asked if there were any gods on the mountain.

When Guan Yuan was studying as a teacher before, the old servant who guarded the mountain gate passed away the year before last. At this time, Liu Wei, an outer disciple recruited by Huashan School in recent years, was guarding the mountain gate.

Liu Wei recognized Guan Yuan, after all, Huashan Outer Gate gradually recovered under Guan Yuan's suggestion.

"Senior brother Guan, you are back." Although Guan Yuan is younger than Liu Wei, he has been a teacher earlier, and Huashan has strict rules, so he can be regarded as his senior brother.

"I met Junior Brother Liu, is the master on the mountain?"

"Yes, the master said a month ago that you were coming back soon, so let us wait patiently. He said that you are back, so go to Chaoyang Peak to meet him."

Yue Buqun has been cultivating Zixia Kung Fu in recent years, and goes to Chaoyang Peak to practice Qi every day.Chaoyang Peak has a facing balcony. It is located on a high and dangerous place with a wide view. It is an excellent place to watch the sunrise and sunset.

Guan Yuan brought the two monkeys, Shu Qi, to the Huashan faction's residence in Yuntai Peak.Ning Zhong was supervising the disciples' sword practice, and Yue Lingshan and Linghu Chong went to the back mountain to practice Chongling swordsmanship.

"Yuan'er, you're back, um, yes, you've grown a lot." Ning Zhong was very happy to see Guan Yuan, after all, the two disciples had taught him for ten years, and they had deep feelings for each other.It took me several months to go down the mountain this time, and I missed it a lot.

"Master, I'm back." Guan Yuan saluted hurriedly, not forgetting to pull the second child next to him.

"Get up quickly." Ning Zhong helped him up, and went to see the monkey and Shu Qi he had brought back.

Guan Yuan introduced the two of them, but Ning Zhong smiled from ear to ear, "Here comes another little monkey, haha, six monkeys, you have an extra junior sister."

Among the disciples, Lu Dayou smiled foolishly.

The juniors also hadn't seen Guan Yuan for a long time, they surrounded him and asked questions.

"Okay, okay, let's talk about the family in a while." Ning Zhong waved away all the disciples, "Yuan'er, your master just went to Chaoyang Peak to practice Qi, and it's probably too early to come back, otherwise you can go to Chaoyang Peak to meet him .”

Guan Yuan naturally nodded in agreement, and asked Lu Dayou to take the monkey Shu Qi to pack his luggage, and went to Chaoyang Peak to meet Yue Buqun by himself.

Chaoyang Peak is on the east side of Huashan Mountain. The climbing path has always been difficult and dangerous. The most dangerous hill is like a slope cut out. It is tens of feet high. Only by climbing on the rocks and using both hands and feet can you reach the peak.

Fortunately, Guan Yuan is now very successful in martial arts, he performed the Golden Goose Kung Fu, he tapped his feet lightly, stretched out his hand, and jumped several feet high.Looking from a distance, it looks like a bird flying in the clouds, spreading its wings and flying high.After a while he was on the facing balcony.

Yue Buqun was standing on the balcony looking at him, and he, who was always serious, was smiling slightly at this moment.Just now when Guan Yuan was still climbing, Yue Buqun noticed something, so he stopped his work and waited.

"Master, the apprentice is back." Guan Yuan hurriedly knelt down to salute.

"Well, it's good to be back." Yue Buqun stretched out his hand to help, Guan Yuan only felt a soft force reaching over and pulling him up.

"Congratulations master, your inner strength has improved again."

"It's also thanks to the snake gall wine you sent back, which is very beneficial to the master's Zixia Gong cultivation." Yue Buqun twisted his beard and smiled. "Yuan'er, seeing your light steps and long breath when you go up the mountain, you must have made a lot of progress."

"Your apprentice is making a fool of yourself." Seeing that Yue Buqun wanted to take the school exam, Guan Yuan got up and faced the sea of ​​clouds.

I saw him let out a long howl, mighty and turbulent, with the momentum to disperse the sea of ​​clouds.Compared with the long howl many years ago, this time it took a full stick of incense.

Yue Buqun couldn't help marveling at the side, the qi training talent of his two apprentices would always surprise him, they made great progress every time, and now they have even cultivated Huashan internal strength to a great extent.It is extremely rare to have such an achievement at such a young age, even in Huashan's hundreds of years of history.

Guan Yuan stopped the whistle, and showed Yue Buqun the sword technique he had comprehended.At this time, Yue Buqun was unable to comment. He only felt that God blesses Huashan, and the revival is hopeful.

Over the years, Yue Buqun has been burdened with heavy burdens, with all his heart and soul, and his psychological pressure is extremely high.At this moment, seeing that his disciples are so outstanding, he can't help but feel very good, and he feels that his lifelong wish is one step closer.

"Okay, okay, okay." Yue Buqun said several good words in succession, very excited.

Guan Yuan told Yue Buqun about what he had seen and heard about going down the mountain this time, especially the entanglement with the White Lotus Sect.

"Outside evil ways, nothing to worry about." Yue Buqun said disdainfully, "The White Lotus Sect has been obsessed with rebellion and overthrowing the imperial court for generations, but their own buttocks are not clean, so what can they achieve by relying on dirty methods. They danced The more happy you are, the easier it is for the government to destroy them."

Guan Yuan didn't say that he discovered the sword mound where Dugu Qiubai was, and that the wine brewed by the strange snake and snake guts was also said to be obtained by accident.After all, there are no martial arts secrets left in the sword mound, and publishing them will only disturb the dreams of senior masters.

The master and the apprentice talked for a while on the facing balcony, then went down the mountain and returned to the Huashan camp.

At this time, Ningzhong in the backyard had already arranged dinner, which was very rich, and he wanted to clean up Guan Yuan.

It is also rare for all the juniors to have such an occasion where they can relax together, and everyone gathers together, which is very harmonious.

During the dinner, Yue Buqun met Hou'er and Shu Qi, both of whom were very smart, so they naturally accepted them as disciples.Houer asked Ningzhong to accept him and became her disciple.Yue Lingshan, who came back from the back mountain, was also very happy to see that her mother had taken in an apprentice.He pestered Yue Buqun to ask him when he could officially become a teacher, otherwise he would always be the youngest junior sister of the Huashan School.

Linghu Chong hadn't seen Guan Yuan for a few months, so he was very kind, and hurriedly asked, "Brother, do you still have the snake wine you brought back? I drank it secretly last time, and I was so drunk that I was scolded by the master. I still miss it now."

Linghu Chong was still addicted to alcohol like in the original book, because he was often reprimanded by Yue Buqun for this.

"Brother, you shouldn't drink too much wine. I also found the snake wine by accident. I'll look for it for you when I go back down the mountain. But you can't drink too much."

"That's natural, that's natural." Linghu Chong agreed without hesitation.

"Chong'er, as a senior brother, you should lead by example, and don't think about drinking too much every day. Be careful that your master will punish you again." Ning Zhong taught Linghu Chong a lesson. "Yuan'er, you are going back to the mountain this time to be in charge of supervising your elder brother."

"Understood, Master." The two hurriedly agreed.
