The Path Toward Heaven

Chapter 63: a bunch of bananas

Views:

From the end of spring to the beginning of autumn, Gu Qing would come to the peak every ten days or so.

He didn't know about Jing Jiu's injury.

Every time he came to the peak, he would look at Jing Jiu lying on the bamboo chair, except for the first autumn rain day—according to Qingrong Peak’s request, that day the green hills were open, and the autumn rain fell among the peaks, which felt bleak. Jing Jiu was a little unhappy because he wanted to move back to the cave.

This day, Gu Qing came to the summit with a bunch of bananas.

Jing Jiu lay on the chair, glanced at the banana, and said, "Given it by the monkey?"

Gu Qing nodded and asked, "Is the bamboo you brought over last time used to repair chair legs?"

When Liu Shisui came back from the mountain village, he really brought a dozen bamboos and asked Gu Qing to send them over.

I heard that outside Elder Bai Rujing's cave in Tianguang Peak, several clumps of new bamboos are now planted.

Jing Jiu said, "The back of the chair has also been repaired."

Only then did Gu Qing notice that some places on the back of the bamboo chair were patched with new bamboo pieces.

"I've heard rumors about you before, but I didn't expect that you... are really so lazy."

He looked at Jing Jiu and said seriously, with a bit of sincere admiration.

As lazy as Jing Jiu, he could easily cross the border and defeat himself in the Chengjian Conference.

He has always admired, or yearned for, such a true genius.

Jing Jiu said, "Cultivation is not like ordinary people practicing martial arts. There is no difference between sitting cross-legged, lying down, standing under a waterfall or by the sea."

After thinking about it carefully, Lu Qing found out that this is indeed the truth, but that is just meditation, when absorbing the vitality of the world, don't you need to practice sword art

Jing Jiu said, "Drink tea."

It sounds like this is what he meant to invite Gu Qing to drink tea, but it is not the case.

Gu Qing put the bunch of bananas on the table and started to make tea.

Jing Jiu would still like someone to make tea for him, but Gu Qing is not Liu Shisui, he is inconvenient to manipulate, and the apes are too stupid...

Two cups were poured out of a pot of tea, Gu Qing took a cup naturally, and sat down on the big rock by the cliff.

Those two big stones were moved by apes from between the cliffs.

Looking at Jing Jiu's profile, Lu Qing found that he was able to keep calm now.

No matter how pretty your face is, as long as you look at it more times... well, it's still pretty, but it won't be as dazzling as it was at first.

What really dazzled Lu Qing was Jing Jiu's talent in swordsmanship.

Although he was in Liangwang Peak, Guo Nanshan and those teachers also praised his talent in swordsmanship.

Gu Qing said: "When I was determined to cultivate the Tao, I thought that it is impossible for all the disciples of Qingshan in this generation to be unattainable geniuses, so as long as I make efforts that other disciples cannot do, I will definitely be able to enter the inner sect , becoming a member of the disciples of Qingshan, now it seems that this is right, because there are very few people like you after all."

Jing Jiu said, "I appreciate your idea, and it just so happens that there are no real geniuses in this generation of disciples, congratulations."

Lu Qing was stunned, thinking that Zhao Layue and Shi Sui were not geniuses? And you

Jing Jiu looked at the bunch of bananas and asked, "Have you ever visited the cave?"

Gu Qing shook his head.

He is not qualified to inherit the sword now, and he is not the deacon of Shenmo Peak. He is only a temporary tenant here, so he pays great attention to details. Ding also just sat by the cliff and made a pot of tea for Jing Jiu, never thinking about going into the cave to take a look.

Jing Jiu said, "Go and see."

Lu Qing was slightly taken aback, and asked, "Is it okay?"

Jing Jiu said, "The tenant is also a guest, so there's no harm in taking a look."

How could Gu Qing not be curious about Master Jingyang's uncle's cave.

He thought for a while, got up and walked into the small building.

But it didn't take long before he ran out of it like escaping.

He looked at Jing Jiu with complicated emotions and said, "I... I became like this just because I secretly learned swordsmanship."

The sword manual that was placed on the table was obviously deliberately shown by Jing Jiu.

"I think you're fine now."

Jing Jiu picked up the bunch of bananas on the table and threw them back to the apes in the woods.

Then, he walked back into the cave, took out the sword manual, put it in Gu Qing's hand, and said, "This is not stealing."

Lu Qing was silent for a long time before saying, "Thank you."

Jing Jiu said, "No need."

Lu Qing said, "Actually, I've always felt that you don't like me very much."

Jing Jiu said, "Your scheme is a bit deep, but I have no likes or dislikes about it."

Gu Qing was a little confused and asked, "Then why are you willing to help me?"

Jing Jiu said, "I don't like your brother."

Lu Qing laughed and said, "Me too."

Going back to the edge of the cliff, and walking into the wooden house that had begun to grow moss, Gu Qing went to the window to remove the bark from the wind, and opened the sword manual in his hand by the light of the sky outside.

He had learned the Six Dragon Sword Art from Shiyue Peak, but when he was expelled from Liangwang Peak, he was taken back and cannot be used again in the future.

He was a little excited, because this might be Shenmo Peak's Nine Deaths Sword Art—it was Master Jingyang's uncle's Infidelity Sword.

But he was wrong.

Lu Qing stared at the front page of the sword manual for a long time.

This is not the Nine Deaths Sword Manual.

His hands trembled slightly.

There are two words clearly written on the front page of that book.

— Cheng Tian.

One autumn rain and one cool.

Qingshan Jiufeng is isolated from the world, and the cold and heat are not obvious, but there are still four distinct seasons.

Jing Jiu's illness was finally cured.

Cicadas, monkeys, and well coughs, the three main sounds on Shenmo Peak lost two, and suddenly became much quieter.

The world has not changed much, the disciples practice independently, and rarely leave the caves in the peaks, the peaks and forests are gradually dyed, and the beautiful scenery is very lonely.

One day, a news came from outside the mountain that a terrifying big monster appeared outside Chaonan City in Zhuohe River.

It is rumored that the big monster has a cruel temperament and likes to eat human flesh, especially those boys and girls.

During the Mid-Autumn Festival, the big monster suddenly appeared and crashed into a cliff outside Chaonan City. Hundreds of people in the village on the cliff suffered heavy casualties.

Naturally, the Qingshan School couldn't ignore this matter, and the disciples of Liangwang Peak set out with their swords that night to get rid of the demon.

It is somewhat noticeable that Liu Shisui, the natural Taoist seed, is also in the team of eliminating demons this time.

Liu Shisui is still a disciple of Tianguang Peak in name, and he has been able to go out to eliminate demons after only half a year of accepting the sword. It can be seen how much Liangwang Peak values him.

The incident happened urgently, Liangwang Peak disciples left in a hurry, not many people in Jiufeng knew about it.

Liu Shisui did not go to Shenmo Peak, but just asked Gu Qing to tell Jing Jiu.

"Ten-year-old specifically asked me to tell you, not to tell others."

Gu Qing organized his words in his mind, and continued: "...he told you that he was leaving, don't tell others."

There are many meanings hidden in these two convoluted words, but Jing Jiu didn't respond. He sat in the bamboo chair and looked at the mountains outside the cliff, not seeming to care.

A few days later, Gu Qing came to the peak again, this time he was still sending a message.

"There is a junior sister named Yushan in Xijiange, and there is a girl from Lelang County..."

Gu Qing couldn't remember the name of that junior brother.

Jing Jiu said, "His surname is Yuan."

"... Yes, the young man surnamed Yuan wants to ask whether Shen Mofeng will be recruiting for the Sword Inheritance Conference in three years' time."

Zhao Layue was also by the cliff, and after hearing this, she glanced at Jing Jiu and realized that she had forgotten this question.

"trick."

"No."

Her and Jing Jiu's voices sounded almost simultaneously.

Gu Qing spread his hands, expressing that he was just an innocent messenger.

Zhao Layue looked at Jing Jiu and asked, "Why didn't you recruit?"

Jing Jiu said, "Noisy."

Zhao Layue is neither Gu Han nor Ma Hua, and was not defeated by his one-character formula.

"I am the peak master."

She left these words and went back to the cave.

As soon as winter entered, the first snow fell, and a few days later, Qingshan ushered in a bigger snowstorm.

Still at Qingrong Peak's request, the Green Mountain Formation opened, and snowflakes fell from the sky one after another.

But in one night, Qunfeng's hair turned white, and when he looked around, he was covered in silver makeup, which was very beautiful.

A flying sword broke through the wind and snow and landed on the top of Shenmo Peak.

Lu Qing's body was covered in snow, and his face was slightly pale.

Ever since he was expelled from Liangwang Peak, he seldom wielded a sword, and he was only willing to walk in Shenmo Peak.

It seemed that something urgent had happened.

Jing Jiu and Zhao Layue came out of the cave.

Lu Qing looked at them and said, "Ten-year-old is injured."
