Chapter 111 The Sword Opens the Mountain Gate
“Are you annoyed when someone comes to disturb you just when you want to fish?”
The aroma of ink and tea are intertwined in the antique room, and there are mountains of tea on the table. Behind the paperwork, an old man in his 60s was leaning on a recliner with his eyes closed and a tea cup dangling in his hand. He noticed someone was visiting and muttered impatiently.
"Name?" The old man asked coldly without opening his eyes.
"You Su." The young man in black robe was neither humble nor arrogant, and added, "You of the traveling, Su of Zi Su."
Hearing this, Elder Liu opened his half-closed The old man glanced at You Su in front of him, his eyes were reserved and his tone was not kind:
"Are you the new true disciple of the Thirteenth Elder, You Su?"
" That's right, junior." You Su saluted respectfully.
“You still know how to come!” Elder Liu snorted twice with an unhappy expression, “No matter what disciple, the first thing you do when you join the Xuanxiao Sect is to come to the Sutra Hall to report. But you delayed it. It’s been more than five days. Do you think that since you are a true disciple, you don’t care about the rules? Or do you think that the thirteenth elder of the Qian family should come to see you personally?”
You Su felt strange. Of course Elder Liu was one of the twenty-three junior elders. He always felt that the other party's complaints were not directed at him, but at his wife, who was the senior elder behind him.
"This junior has no such intention, and the master has no such intention."
You Su's tone was sincere, his thoughts moved slightly, and then he said:
"It's my fault that I'm late. But the reason why this junior came late is really because of the Master's words."
Elder Liu raised his eyelids slightly and frowned: "What did you say?"
"The Master told me, Elder Liu has been performing his duties in the Sutra Hall for hundreds of years and is highly respected in the clan. I am new here, so I need to prepare a small gift for my first visit to show my respect."
You Su stood up straight and apologized, " It's a pity that this junior is stupid and thought about this small gift for a long time before making a decision. "
As soon as he finished speaking, You Su was holding a can of elegantly packaged tea in his hand. It was Leng. Fragrant, refreshing and refreshing Magnolia tea.
Elder Liu raised his white eyebrows lightly and pressed lightly on the armrest. The recliner automatically tilted forward and held him upright. He looked at the tea can in You Su's hand, then at the tea in his cup, and finally his eyes lingered on the young man's face. Then he raised the corner of his mouth slightly and said kindly:
"You have a heart. I never thought that my meager contribution could be seen by the independent Thirteenth Elder. The report can be completed within seven days of joining the sect. However, I am impatient, has many things to do, doesn't like procrastination, and can't get into the lotus. Feng, I asked the third elder to urge me. You did nothing wrong, just take the gift back."
You Su smiled calmly. At first, he thought Elder Liu had a grudge against his wife, but think about it carefully. It feels wrong again. Elder Liu looks exactly like an old working man sitting in an office who just wants to retire as soon as possible. He will blame anyone who doesn't let him complete his work smoothly.
"Elder Liu misunderstood. This is not an apology, but a meeting gift."
"Stop talking about it and complete the process first."
You Su then shut up.
"Tell me your date of birth, age, place of origin, family background, and your resume before joining the clan."
You Su came one by one with a slightly stunned expression.
Because Elder Liu didn’t need to use his hands, the brush on the desk began to write on its own.
"Eighteen-year-old Lingtai Middle Realm? Still blind?!"
While sizing up You Su, Elder Liu picked up the tea cup and prepared to take a sip to hide his surprise, but then he thought of You Su The white magnolia tea in my hand felt tasteless in my mouth, so I simply put it down.
“Since you are blind, why don’t you use a gauze to cover your eyes?”
“My eyes are neither photophobic nor scary, so why do I need to cover my eyes with gauze?”
Elder Liu stared at You Su's clear and lifeless eyes, and then said:
"A blind person doesn't use crutches or cover his eyes, so how can people know that you are blind?"
You Su grinned when he heard this: "Junior never thinks there is anything special about blindness, why do you have to let people know?"
Elder Liu glanced at You Su meaningfully and turned around. :
"It is indeed impressive to have achieved this level of cultivation at your age. However, the path of cultivation is about a long history, and it is nothing to compete for the first place. Besides, there are hidden dragons and crouching tigers in the Xuanxiao Sect, so don't be arrogant."< br>
“You Su, please remember.”
Then Elder Liu asked some simple questions, and You Su answered them truthfully.
“Go on.”
Elder Liu finally stood up and handed a wooden token to You Su. This was the certificate of being a true disciple of the Xuanxiao Sect.
According to his temperament, he would just throw the token directly to his disciples. However, after knowing the identity of the blind man You Su, he couldn't help but feel more respect in his heart, so he offered it in person.
"Thank you, Elder Liu."
"Well, come with me, and we'll be done with the test." Elder Liu walked out of the house, walking slowly.
You Su was not in a hurry to follow, but first put the tea can in his hand on the table.
"What are you doing? Didn't I ask you to take it back?"
"Junior is afraid that he won't be able to move his hand during the test, so let him go first."
"Remember Take it away.”
Elder Liu looked deeply at the blind boy and continued to lead the way.
......
"You don't ask what is being tested?"
Elder Liu walked in front and asked casually without looking back.
"Soldiers come to cover up water and earth, whether they ask or not, it's the same."
"Having said that, this test is a bit unfair to you."
The words fell. , Elder Liu has stopped. In front of him, there are two huge stone doors.
Together they form a double door. The stone door is carved with the majestic and embossed Henggao Shenshan, and the sense of majesty and holiness can be seen. The misty clouds and majestic mountains are lifelike, not like dead things, but like living things.
You Su couldn't see the pattern on the stone door, but he could also feel the heavy feeling coming towards his face.
“Only those who are personally taught by elders are called true disciples. All true disciples are of great significance to Xuanxiao Sect. There have been countless geniuses throughout the ages, but not all talented people can become true disciples of Xuanxiao. Only those who pass the test can enter the Holy Mountain and become a true legend. Although the Thirteenth Elder is willing to accept you as a disciple, he must have considered your character, but the process still has to go through."
"This door is from Five Thousand. The sacred object that has been passed down to this day is said to have been carved by Immortal Ancestor Henggao himself, specifically for the purpose of enlightening the mind and nature. It is now collected here by the Xuanxiao Sect. Everyone has their own reasons and desires for coming to the sacred mountain. You see the mountain above the door. , you can see the desire in your heart. The key to the door is hidden in it."
After listening to Elder Liu's story, You Su understood why Elder Liu said that this test was unfair to him. He is a blind man who can't even see the mountains, so how can he find the key?
“Although the Sutra Hall is open to all disciples, this is not because of the mediocrity of its collection of books, but because of its heritage of embracing all things. Behind this door is the most precious collection of the Sutra Hall. Open the door All true disciples can get an ancient book in the pavilion."
"Is there any true disciple who can't open the door?" You Su asked.
"Of course, those whose character is not up to standard should be deprived of their qualifications as true disciples. The Xuanxiao Sect will not do anything like breeding tigers. However, true disciples are all carefully selected by the elders, and there are very few who fail."
< br>Elder Liu sighed in his heart when he saw You Su just scanning the Shishan case in front of him silently. The eyes are the door of the soul. Without vision, there will be many obstacles on the way to practice. He is not optimistic about Yu Su's future.
"If you can't see why, I can open the door for you. After all, you are blind and have a special situation. However, I can't guarantee what book you can get, or even whether you can get the book." Liu The elder stroked his white beard, trying to see some negative emotions such as uneasiness and discomfort on the calm blind man's face, but he found nothing. You Su just looked at Shimen silently. Elder Liu nodded secretly. He could appreciate the young man's kindness alone.
In fact, he had known that You Su was blind for a long time. The noble chief came to greet him personally and promised that if You Su was unable to open the door, he could open it for him. privilege.
“I want to try.”
You Su suddenly spoke, and Elder Liu looked at him in surprise:
“Can you see the mountain gate?”
< br>You Su shook his head. In You Su's field of vision, there was only a large blur of ancient cyan, and the appearance of the sacred mountain was like a mist.
“If you don’t see the mountain gate, you can’t open it, so why are you disturbing yourself.”
Elder Liu can understand You Su's stubbornness and arrogance as a blind man. He is obviously a rare blind man in the world, but his way is blocked by a door because of his blindness. It is right not to give up easily.
You Su continued to face the mountain gate in front of him without wavering.
Just when he looked directly at the door, he had an inexplicable spiritual feeling - there was something calling him behind the door.
This spiritual sense is very strong, and You Su clearly senses that if you want to get it, you can only push the door open by yourself.
"What Elder Liu said is wrong."
You Su took two more steps forward and said with a smile:
"The Immortal Ancestor has great magical powers. The one who created this door The meaning is to see the true heart, not to see the mountain gate. The eyes of the younger generation are covered with dust, but the mind is no different from ordinary people. How can it be that a blind person cannot understand the heart and see the nature? "< br>
Elder Liu stared blankly at You Su, whose temperament had suddenly changed. He really felt that he had underestimated the blind young man.
"It's up to you. If you can't push me away, call me again. Young people, please don't be nice for a while."
At the same time, You Su's consciousness has also fully covered the stone gate. On the top, it is a pity that we can still only scan out the general outline, but cannot see its true shape.
You Su frowned, had he really guessed wrong? When the Immortal Ancestor created this stone door, did he really not think about the blind man?
With Elder Liu by his side, it was impossible for You Su to force his eyes open. He took a deep breath to calm down.
This door is for the purpose of clarifying the mind and nature. Everyone’s mind is different, and the key to opening the door will naturally be different.
What is my key?
Suddenly at this moment, a strange feeling came from You Su's waist. It was Mo Songjian who couldn't help but tremble in response to his confusion!
The sword is his key!
You Su felt something in his heart, and with a "buzz" sound, the Mo Song Sword was neatly unsheathed, and he was holding it in front of his chest. The sword's edge was pointed directly at the two magnificent stone doors carved with a panoramic view of the sacred mountain.
Elder Liu looked at all this in shock. He saw that the profound energy in Su You's body was closely intertwined with Shimen. It was obvious that he had entered the state of seeing his true heart because of Shimen. He did not dare to scold You Su for interrupting this disrespectful act, because the elder also told him:
If You Su could open the door, it would be an unprecedented move! Absolutely no interruptions!
He just looked at You Su Jingli raising his sword, feeling the growing power of the sword in this young man who was only in the Lingtai realm, and was lost in thought for a long time.
A voice woke him up:
"Old Liu, when did you get a can of magnolia tea on your table? This is the best tea, and the old guy still wants to hide it, hehe, he was I've caught him!"
The person who came here is old, fat and rich, but he doesn't look greasy or old. He is Elder Zhu, one of the twenty-three little elders.
Elder Liu came back to his senses, glared at the visitor, and said angrily in a low voice: "What's it called? That's not my tea, it's his!"
Elder Zhu followed suit. Elder Liu looked around and found that a young man was raising his sword to open the mountain gate. He was startled and was about to step forward to stop him.
Elder Liu immediately stopped him, "Don't move! He is You Su!"
"You Su?!"
Elder Zhu and Elder Liu are good friends. Naturally, I also learned about You Su from the other party: "Is he trying to force the door open?"
"Take a closer look."
Every elder of Xuanxiao Sect is at least a Hua. With the power of Yu Realm, Elder Zhu was so shocked that the fat on his face trembled:
"This is the first time someone has borrowed foreign objects to enter meditation. How long has it been since he broke the door?"
Elder Liu looked at the incense altar carved with animals on the side of the corridor, and one of the sandalwood sticks on it had burned out.
“A stick of incense.”
Elder Zhu nodded when he heard this, and then he realized that his old friend’s secretive teasing had turned into a serious look. He took two steps and looked Looking at You Su's frowning eyebrows, he said in surprise:
"With just one stick of incense, are you already at the stage of asking questions about your heart?"
"Let's wait and see... "Elder Liu sighed quietly.
At this time, in Yousu's sea of consciousness, it was as if his soul had left his body, breaking through layers of fog.
In his eyes, the scenery of the two stone gates gradually became clearer, and the appearance of the sacred mountain above them even began to take on a real color, as if he was really facing a majestic peak that reached into the sky and the earth.
You Su stood at the foot of the giant peak, and a majestic sound suddenly sounded between heaven and earth.
“Why did you go up the mountain?”
You Su said: "Go up the mountain to cultivate the Tao."
"Eye, ear, nose, tongue, body, mouth, mind, you are missing one of the seven senses, and the Tao is not perfect, go down the mountain."
You Sudao: "I practice Taoism just to perfect the seven awakenings."
"Your eyes are clear and pure, but you cannot see. This is God's will. The lack of eyesight is a problem for you. Good thing, let’s go down the mountain.”
“Can’t God’s will be violated?”
You Su held the hilt of the sword, feeling ridiculous. Who can evaluate the good or bad situation for others? The sword spirit arose, and he shouted loudly:
"I want to see this world!"
"See the heaven and the earth, see all living beings, see yourself, or see the truth? I will give it to you First, go down the mountain.”
Qian Jun’s heavy weight pressed against You Su, making him unable to move.
You Su's smile did not diminish, he stepped forward with all his strength, raised his neck, blue veins appeared on it, he roared towards the top of the mountain:
"I! Want them all!"
The sword in his hand was unsheathed, and the sword energy flew straight into the sky.
Suddenly, the mountains and forests were still, and everything was silent. This space was like a broken mirror, peeling off pieces.
In the eyes of the two stunned elders, the simple and heavy door had been opened, and the young man in black robe had just put his sword into the sheath, and walked calmly and calmly into the incomprehensible darkness behind the door.
