The Sword of Smiling and Proud

Chapter 6 Getting Started
There are poems:
Bishan is always frozen and autumn is long, and the source of Huazhou is noisy every day and night.

Tens of thousands of households invade the Guan Ling's house, and the clouds are in the Shijun Building at four o'clock.

The wind drives the thunder and lightning, and Linhe shakes, and the crane leads the gods out of the moon.

The elixir of high sleep at the top of the peak is cooked, since there is no frost and snow on the head.

Huashan Mountain has been famous for its strangeness and danger since ancient times.It was early spring at this time, and the snow on the mountain had not yet melted.Guan Yuan's mountaineering road was very rugged and difficult, but when the peaks turned around, the scenery of Huashan Mountain still amazed him.

There are five peaks in Huashan, namely Chaoyang in the east, Lotus in the west, Jade girl in the middle, Luoyan in the south and Yuntai in the north.Among them, Shunan Peak is the highest, and also the highest among the Five Sacred Mountains. It is known as "the head of Huashan Mountain".But the Huashan faction is not stationed at the South Peak, but at Yuntai Peak on the North Peak.Firstly, there is a platform on the top of Yuntai Peak, and most of the disciples who were sent to practice Qi on the platform before, and secondly, Yuntai Peak is connected to the three peaks in the east, west and south, and the dangerous road in the Gouzhuang Gorge, which is convenient for transportation, and also has traditional concepts. Sitting in the middle means facing south.

The mountain gate of Huashan School was built on the mountainside of Yuntai Peak, and there was an old servant who guarded the mountain. After Guan Yuan came forward to explain his intention, the old servant led him to climb the mountain.After a while, I turned around the path and came to a courtyard. The courtyard occupies a huge area, but there are few people.Several people entered a main room, and a large plaque was hung in front of the hall, inscribed "Hall of Righteous Qi". Guan Yuan thought to himself, this place should be the "Hall of Sword Qi Rising to the Sky" mentioned in the original book. It was replaced by the Qizong people into Zhengqitang.

The old servant asked Guan Yuan to wait, and turned around to report.Guan Yuan stood under the hall, waiting patiently.

After a while, it was Ning Zhong who turned out from the back of the hall. He was in Mengjin at that time, and Ning Zhong was also very satisfied with this intelligent and stable second disciple, and it was even more cordial to meet him now.

"Your master got up early and went to Chaoyang Peak to gather energy and practice kung fu. It is estimated that he is about to turn around. You can see him after a while."

"Okay, Mistress."

Ning Zhong has a straightforward personality, and remembers that Guan Yuan has a good family history, so he is about to test his martial arts advancement.

"Mother, mother, but I want a junior?!" A childish voice came from outside the hall.While talking, a girl ran in with a boy in his teens.

The girl is estimated to be about 4 or 5 years old, she looks pink and jade-carved, lively and cute, with a pair of bright eyes, clear and clear.I don't know what I thought of, I was full of laughter, and my eyes were bent like crescent moons, as if the aura was overflowing.

This girl is the daughter of Yue Buqun and Ning Zhongze, Yue Lingshan, who is almost five years old this year.After Yue Buqun took over as the head of Mount Hua, there were few people on the mountain, apart from Yue and his wife, there were only a few people who lived there, the eldest disciple Linghu Chong who was adopted.Yue Lingshan was very excited when she heard the old servant say that someone went to the mountain to study as a teacher.Seeing that Guan Yuan's age was not high, she matched her, and she felt that she was even more happy to have more playmates.

"You are the new junior brother? What's your name and where do you live? Let's play together when you get started." Yue Lingshan asked several questions in succession.

"Shan'er, don't just focus on playing, your father will talk about you again when he comes back. When will you be able to calm down and practice Qi in meditation." Ning Zhong trained Yue Lingshan to curl her mouth.

"This is Guan Yuan, your father's new apprentice, who is two years older than you. Yuan'er, this is Lingshan, the daughter of me and your master."

"This is Linghu Chong, your master's first disciple, your elder brother. He is 12 years old this year, much older than you," Ning Zhong introduced one by one.Guan Yuan had long noticed that the young man dragged in by Yue Lingshan was the protagonist of Xiaoao, Linghu Chong.

I saw Linghu Chong in his youth, with a square face, sword eyebrows and thin lips.The back is straight, the body is long and the arms are long, and it is very vigorous.He was dressed in a blue cloth, and his hair was tied up casually. He was not very old, and there was already a bit of coquettishness between his brows.

"I've met senior brother!" Guan Yuan bowed his hands to Linghu Chong, and Linghu Chong smiled and nodded in return.

"I haven't seen Senior Sister yet!" Yue Lingshan shouted from the side, but Ning Zhongze hugged her and told her not to mess around.

While everyone was talking, Yue Buqun also came back from Chaoyang Peak, Guan Yuan and others rushed forward to greet him.

Yue Buqun felt relieved when he saw that Guan Yuan went up to the mountain to pay his respects as promised, and felt that he was going to get another good student.He saw that Guan Yuan's breathing was very steady, and he knew that his family's inner strength was also advanced, and he liked it even more, but he was too heavy on the city, and he never showed it.

Ning Zhong asked his servants to prepare food to clean up Guan Yuan.Yue Buqun set an auspicious date three days later, and he will be in this righteous hall to worship his master and accept his disciples.Guan Yuan also arranged for the servants in the family to transport the prepared ceremony of apprenticeship to the mountain.

Three days later, Guan Yuan knelt in front of the memorial tablet of Huashan's ancestors in Yuntai Peak of Huashan, Yue Buqun stood with his hands behind his back, and Ning Zhong took Yue Lingshan to watch the ceremony.Master brother Linghu Chong is reading the Huashan Gate Regulations aloud

"My Huashan School has seven rules:"

"The first commandment is to bully teachers and destroy ancestors, and disrespect elders.

The second precept is to bully the weak and harm the innocent.

Three refrains from adultery, lust, and molesting women.

The four precepts are jealous and kill each other.

The five precepts are to forget righteousness at the sight of profit and steal property.

Six Precepts: Arrogance and arrogance offend fellow comrades.

Qijie promiscuously engages with bandits and colludes with evil spirits. "

Then Linghu Chong took Guan Yuan and recited it one by one. After making sure that Guan Yuan had memorized it by heart, it was considered complete.

"All the disciples of my Huashan sect must keep in mind the sect rules and not violate them, otherwise they will be severely punished." Yue Buqun said.

"Apprentice Guan Yuan remember it, never dare to forget it."

"Master, mistress, please drink tea." Guan Yuan kowtowed to Yue Buqun and Ning Zhongze after offering incense to the sages.

"Yuan'er, you are the second disciple under the master's sect. In addition to working hard and expanding our Huashan lintel, I also hope that you can learn to be a man first and then learn art. You must never forget the righteousness in your heart. You must always be alert to yourself and be cautious in your words. OK."

After the completion of the ceremony, Guan Yuan officially entered Yue Buqun's sect and became the No.14 disciple of Huashan School.Yue Buqun gave Guan Yuan the Huashan standard long sword and long gown, while Ningzhong had already arranged a bed for him. Huashan experienced a sharp decline in the number of sword qi battles, and the number of vacant houses on the mountain was the most, so he arranged for Guan Yuan. It was next to Linghu Chong.

After dinner, Yue Buqun brought Guan Yuan to the teaching room, and first explained to him the origin of the inheritance of the Huashan School.

It turns out that there have been people practicing martial arts in Huashan since ancient times. The earliest history can be traced back to the Qin and Han Dynasties. At that time, there were many stories of strange swordsmen near Huashan.During the Northern Song Dynasty, there was a Taoist named Patriarch Chen Tuan, also known as Mr. Xiyi, who established a Taoist lineage in Huashan.After the follower, he recruited disciples at Chaoyang Peak and practiced swords with energy.Later, Hao Datong, one of the Seven Sons of Quanzhen, came to Huashan to preach and practice, and his disciples Fan Yuanxi and Wang Zhijin further spread the teachings of Quanzhen.There is also Yuqingguan, the jade girl peak, which is also a branch of Taoism, founded by Taoist Tianyin, the founder of the Kaipai.After years of integration, streamlining and optimization, several inheritances have finally formed the prestige of Huashan School today.The Huashan School has many inheritances, including boxing, swordsmanship, and internal strength. The disciples of the school choose the best to learn, and the sages sort out and refine it. Only now, the Huashan School has a trend of flourishing all kinds of martial arts.

"At the end of the Yuan Dynasty, the world was in turmoil, and heroes from all walks of life rushed to the stage. Originally, my Huashan faction was very powerful, and it was one of the six major factions in the Central Plains. Being killed by the enemy caused my Huashan faction to fall into a slump, and it will only slowly recover its reputation in the next few decades."

"So Yuan'er, if you join my Huashan sect today, you must abide by the sect rules. If you violate the rules, you will be punished according to the seriousness of the circumstances. Those who commit the most heinous crimes will not be forgiven. This sect has been established in the martial arts for hundreds of years. Factions compete with each other for superiority, but the momentary victory or defeat of the strong and the weak is insignificant. The real important thing is that all the disciples of this faction cherish the reputation of the master and be upright, you must remember this lesson well."

"A disciple is taught."

"Master, is it because my Huashan School is the most prosperous in swordsmanship that my fellow Jianghu became the Five Sacred Sword School?" Guan Yuan asked.

"No, Yuan'er, you have to remember. Internal strength is the foundation of martial arts. Without internal strength, no matter how exquisite the moves are, they are just castles in the air, and you can fish for the moon in the water." Yue Buqun said seriously. "Most of the internal energy that my Huashan School is currently practicing is inherited from the Quanzhen lineage. In the early Southern Song Dynasty, there was a fairy master Wang Chongyang, who made a great deal of innate internal energy, reached the state of transformation, and vibrated the world. It can be seen that the cultivation of internal energy is the foundation, swordsmanship It's just that we are waiting for the way to protect the way, and we must not put the cart before the horse."

Guan Yuan knew that Yue Buqun was deeply influenced by the concept of sword qi struggle, and he didn't believe it completely, but he didn't question it either.
