Chapter 12: The dark willows and the bright flowers fill the river mouth


Chapter 12: The willows are dark and the flowers are bright at the mouth of the river

“The roaring waves are rolling in the frost and snow, and Qianren Peak is separated by the clouds. It is like a natural mountain pass.”

On the cobblestone river bank path, the bright light can be seen in the distance. The turbulent waves crashing against the shore in front, the river surface in the rear that is difficult to visually detect, and the vaguely visible blade-like mountain peaks towering into the sky are very shocking to my heart.

This was the first time he had seen such a wide river.

Well, in his previous life, he died early, before he could see all the great rivers of his motherland.

As for the era of involution before his death, he was also involved in it. I'm busy studying, playing games and animation, and really don't have time to travel far away. Well, playing is also a kind of volume.

"Hui'er, isn't it shocking?" Du Busui, who was standing nearby, couldn't help laughing when he saw his good disciple in a daze.

"Yes, teacher." Minghui nodded, "This is the first time for me to see such a wide river."

I have heard of it before. According to my mother before leaving, this river is The river was formed by the collision between the Sun Moon Continent and the Douluo Continent, and it was also a natural barrier erected between the Sun Moon Continent and the Tianhun Empire. The Noumenon Sect is located on the highest mountain peak.

High, really high, it can be called a pillar holding up the sky!

"The original body sect, as the sect protecting the country of the Heavenly Soul Empire, is probably protecting this natural moat." Minghui thought to himself.

It is a pity that the development of the times has been ignored.

The soul guide can not only provide flight capabilities, but also long-range strikes. It has long been unafraid of such rivers and natural chasms.

"I was shocked when I first met my teacher." Du Buushi looked at the river in the distance, "But after seeing more, you will get used to it."

"Hui'er, you will also You’ll get used to it.”

As he spoke, he reached out and patted his apprentice on the shoulder.

"Let's go, the boat is coming."

After traveling for several days, the disciples on the boat can rest and get familiar with the way in and out of the sect.

As I was thinking, a small wooden boat with a single cabin sailed across the river ahead.

Minghui also noticed it, nodded, and followed the cheap master to the small wooden pier in front.

After a while, he was pulled up and jumped gently, landing steadily on the board of the ship.

The boatman is a young man dressed like an ordinary fisherman. His skin is dark and dusty, and his bare arms are extremely thick.

Seeing that he was still poisoned, he boarded the boat and respectfully handed over his hand.

“I’ve met the sect master!”

Du Bu Shou smiled and turned to look to the side, “This is Minghui, my new direct disciple.”

Personal disciple! A trace of surprise flashed in the young man's eyes, and then he said kindly: "Hello, junior brother Minghui, my name is Meng Tao, martial arts double arms."

Arms? Rowing into the wind really exercises your arm strength. Minghui instantly realized that this job as a fisherman was one of the training projects for Senior Brother Meng, and it was appropriate to adapt to local conditions. In keeping with his age, he immediately bowed deeply.

“I’ve met Senior Brother Meng!”

Seeing Minghui salute so politely, Meng Tao was very happy. He grinned and showed his white teeth, which looked very bright against the dark face and the sun. It's shiny.

"Junior brother, you're welcome. If you join our Noumenon Sect, you will become a family!" He smiled heartily and raised the oar in his hand, "Junior brother, please enter the cabin and sit down. We will set off now."

"Excuse me, senior brother." Minghui responded politely, followed the teacher into the cabin and sat down.

The river is wide, and even after a long time, there is no edge. Due to the strong wind, the ship was bumpy and bumpy. Although Minghui did not get seasick, he had difficulty adapting for a while. He was unable to concentrate on meditation and rest, so he had to chat with the talkative Senior Brother Meng.

During this period, he introduced his own martial spirit, which was also a response to the other party’s previous initiative to reveal his martial spirit.

As for the other martial spirit, the teacher poisoned him to death on the way and asked him to keep it secret for the time being.

About half an hour later, with the rapid movement of Brother Meng's Qilin arms, a natural stone cave appeared in the crevices of the jagged rocks.

After entering it and walking forward for a long time, passing through the darkness and coldness, I finally caught a glimpse of light. After that, it can be described as another village with hidden flowers and bright flowers. There really is a village. There is also a sign hanging on the entrance pier, signed Guanjiangkou.

"This is the village where the family members of the sect disciples usually live, many of whom have no soul power." Du Bushu explained.

“But it is equally important to the sect.”

“Most of the supplies that we people need on daily basis are purchased with the help of these family members.”

Minghui nodded slightly, was carried by the teacher and jumped onto the shore. Then he walked forward while observing the surrounding environment.

The terrain in the valley is undulating, and most of the houses are built on the mountainside. Below are terraced fields planted with crops, and several streams meet in the middle. Following the stream back to its source, it all flows out from the mountains surrounded by lush green trees. The river water is very clear and clean.

“I’ve met the sect leader!” The villagers were very enthusiastic and saluted or waved to say hello when they saw Du Buushi.

The children looked up at him, some with envy in their eyes.

Being able to be brought back by the sect master in person, it is obvious that he has awakened his martial spirit and has certain talents.

Minghui secretly estimated the ages of these children. Some of them were over six years old just by looking at their height, and he knew it in his heart.

There is a high probability that these martial souls have not awakened their soul power.

The inheritance of martial arts is like this. Even if the parents are soul masters, the children born may not be able to awaken the soul power.

Otherwise, after years of survival of the fittest, soul masters would have disappeared all over the mainland.

This is true even for our Qing Family and Noumenon Sect, and even more so for ordinary people’s families. There were even some people who hadn't awakened their martial souls and seemed to have thought of something, Minghui felt a little emotional.

Although he has been staying at home, he has not heard about the situation in the outside world.

In today's Tianhun Empire and Dou Ling Empire, awakening martial souls costs money, and the fees are not uniform.

Because the method of hosting the awakening ceremony has changed from Wuhun Palace sending deacons to the village during the Dou Yi period to doing it at the city lord's mansion in the city.

The mountains are high and the emperor is far away. I can charge as much as I want. What can you, a commoner, do to me?

Losing the power of control is the most embarrassing thing.

As for the Star Luo Empire, it is even more ruthless!

The Tianhun Empire and the Dou Ling Empire at least have a place where civilians can spend money to awaken their martial souls, but in Xingluo, there is no official awakening agency at all.

For this reason, the vast majority of civilians in the Star Luo Empire do not have martial arts spirits, including soldiers in the army.

Even if the martial soul has no soul power, it still has a certain blessing effect on the host. It stands to reason that as soldiers protect their families and their country, they should help awaken their martial souls in order to ensure their combat power. But the Star Luo Empire did not do this, which shows how outrageous it is!

On the contrary, the Sun and Moon Empire, because of its advanced soul guides and in preparation for war, has begun to develop towards free awakening for all.

By scanning the soul guide, you can see at a glance whether you have innate soul power, which is very convenient.

The reason why his Qing family still retains the original awakening ritual is entirely to deepen family cohesion in this way.

“It is not without reason that the three empires were defeated three times by the Sun and Moon Empire in the original work. Today’s soul master world of the three empires has completely become an aristocratic circle. Although high-end warriors The strength is not broken, but the grassroots level is getting weaker day by day." Minghui sighed secretly.

If it weren't for Huo Gua and Shrek Academy in the original work, and even Tang San had intervened, in his opinion, the three original empires would have been unified by the Sun and Moon Empire long ago.

“I estimate that when the Sun and Moon Empire’s army invaded, there were still civilians lined up to welcome them.”

With this thought in mind, he continued to move forward with his teacher Du Buushi, smiling and nodding in response to the villagers who looked over from time to time.

After a while, we came to a stone wall equipped with a rope lifting device.

Minghui looked up and saw a sentry pavilion several meters high on the stone wall.

When he and his teacher stepped into the wooden "elevator", the figure in the sentry booth flickered, and the hanging rope next to it tightened instantly.

“Creak, creak, creak.”

The wooden frame swayed slightly as it rose.
