Chapter 37: Wu’er Xianting_i
Outside the small courtyard, a sudden voice caused both Zi Ling and Nan Feng to immediately change their complexions!
"Not good! It’s Elder Shi Tai’s voice…”
Nan Feng spoke gravely, truly not expecting that, to kill them, even a Supreme would personally take action!
If Senior Li weren’t here, they might as well have simply awaited death.
Zi Ling was also somewhat nervous and looked at Li Fan, saying,
“Teacher… they have come to capture us!”
Li Fan was also somewhat puzzled. How could this group of enthusiasts be so ferocious?
Always acting like it’s a matter of life and death.
"Worry not, I shall reason with them.”
Still, Li Fan asked calmly,“The people who have come, what are their areas of expertise?”
Nan Feng said,
“Elder Shi Tai is proficient in calligraphy, and coming with him should be Elder Tie Ming, who is proficient in music. His instrument is a long flute!”
Upon hearing this, Li Fan smiled faintly.
Music? Calligraphy?
This really had hit right into his hands.
"I understand, just give me a moment or two.”
He then entered the study.
From within the study, he took out brush, ink, paper, inkstone, and also came out holding a long flute.
He ground the ink, and then lifted the brush.
The brush was primitive, its years of existence in the world unknown, and on the shaft, the ancient characters for
“Di Ji” were faintly visible.
The moment the brush touched the rice paper!
Silver hook, iron stroke!
By the side, the complexions of Nan Feng and Zi Ling changed dramatically!
They clearly felt, at this moment, the entire small courtyard was pulsating with the essence of the Dao, that one stroke seemed to tug at the great Law!
"Why do I feel like what the teacher is holding in his hand is not a brush… but a legendary Divine Sword?”
Zi Ling was somewhat dazed.
"The Dao sings along with the movement of the brush, what kind of Realm is this?”
Nan Feng also murmured.
After a long while.
It was only then that Li Fan finished his writing.
On the snow-white rice paper, there were now four characters:
"Wu’er Xianting!”
Wu’er Xianting!
Each character was exquisitely ingenious, not a single stroke could be changed.
Li Fan said,
“Zi Ling, take this piece of calligraphy and hang it above the gate of the courtyard.”
It had been so long, and he had not yet named his small courtyard.
Now, he would use this name, and by doing so, he might also make those ferocious calligraphy enthusiasts outside realize the difficulty and retreat!
As long as they understood that Zi Ling and the other were now disciples of a renowned master, and their own skills in calligraphy and music were superior, they would naturally leave, wouldn’t they?
Upon hearing this, Zi Ling hurriedly stepped forward and took the piece of calligraphy.
"Wu’er Xianting…”
She glanced at the characters and immediately felt as if she were about to be overwhelmed by the Dao essence within them!
She dared not look any longer, promptly framed the calligraphy, and then took a deep breath before walking outside.
At this moment.
Outside the small courtyard.
Both Tie Ming and Shi Tai were looking at this small courtyard with uncertain and dubious eyes.
"Why do I feel that this small courtyard is somewhat strange, it looks calm and utterly ordinary, yet it gives me a very dangerous feeling…
Tie Ming spoke, his eyes filled with a hint of apprehension!
It was precisely because they sensed the courtyard’s extraordinariness that they hesitated to barge in for the moment.
"Never mind that, how impressive could anything be within a small mountain village? We are Supremes, invincible in the Xuantian Realm!’
Shi Tai, however, was very confident. He grasped the brush tied at his waist, ready to step forward!
But at that moment, the courtyard gate was suddenly opened.
Zi Ling had already walked out from inside.
Seeing her, everyone was startled.
"This rebellious disciple, indeed here!”
"Truly seeking death, to dare still show up!
Ao Ming and Zhu Xin both spoke with gloomy expressions.
"Hehe, Zi Ling, you’ve finally come out. What about Nan Feng? I heard that you two actually dared to turn against your own sect and take someone else as your master. Today, I shall deal with the renegades on behalf of your master!”
Elder Shi Tai stepped forward with a gloomy expression.
Fear flickered in Zi Ling’s large eyes, but she quickly said,
“Sister Nan Feng and I have already taken Senior Li as our master, you must not be disrespectful!” As soon as she finished speaking, she promptly showcased the mounted calligraphy in her hands!
Boom!
Elder Shi Tai’s whole body shook in an instant, as if struck by lightning, and he stared fixedly ahead!
"Wu’er Xianting…”
He muttered, those four characters ensnaring him completely!
He felt an overwhelming sense of terror!
Each stroke was an embodiment of the Dao.
Each line was the foundation of the rules.
Wu’er signifies the meaning of the Supreme, unique and unparalleled!
Xianting, however, radiated leisure and detachment, transcending the mundane world!
What kind of spirit was this!
Could it be the work of an invincible being?
How is this possible…
As a powerful being who had demonstrated supremacy through calligraphy, Elder Shi Tai could naturally sense the boundless Dao, as vast and mysterious as the universe!
He trembled with excitement, and suddenly, his legs gave way and he knelt on the ground with a thud.
This was the repression of the Invincible Path, akin to an ant worshiping a Giant Dragon!
He saw countless flows of Dao, the birth and extinction of the laws of heaven and earth.
Tears of blood began to flow from Elder Shi Tai’s eyes!
"No!”
Elder Tie Ming immediately sensed something. He wasn’t a calligrapher, so he wasn’t as terrified as Elder Shi Tai.
In a hurry, he grabbed Elder Shi Tai’s shoulders, yanked him up, and quickly covered his eyes!
"You can’t look anymore, you’ll directly enter meditation and die if you do!” Elder Tie Ming warned frantically!
He clearly felt that Elder Shi Tai’s cultivation level was fluctuating and dissipating, a sign of meditation unto death.
But Elder Shi Tai let out a mad laugh; dancing and crying with joy, he said:
“Haha, I have seen the ultimate in calligraphy, I have seen the ultimate path of calligraphy… Haha, hahaha…”
All of a sudden, he ran away like a child, hopping and skipping along the way! Witnessing this, Elder Tie Ming was shocked, incredulously saying,
“He… he’s gone mad?!”
Gone mad!
Ao Ming and Zhu Xin both changed their complexions dramatically!
How could this be? A Supreme being, who entered the Dao through calligraphy, had gone mad just like that?
Merely from seeing four characters written by someone else?
Who would believe such a story if it were told? Ghosts wouldn’t believe it!
But now, it was actually happening!
"Who… who wrote those four characters??”
Ao Ming trembled slightly, a deep fear rising in his heart.
Elder Tie Ming took a deep breath and looked forward, where Zi Ling had already hung the mounted calligraphy above the courtyard gate. Elder Tie Ming dared not look at the four characters but turned to Zi Ling and said,
“Zi Ling, who exactly is behind you?”
Even he was afraid.
How could one not fear a piece of calligraphy that could drive a Supreme being mad?
Zi Ling looked at the retreating figure of the mad Elder Shi Tai, her eyes somewhat vacant. Was this what Senior Li meant by reasoning with the people from the Holy Land?
This was simply terrifying!
Hearing Elder Tie Ming’s question, Zi Ling snapped out of it, her eyes filled with complex emotions as she glanced at him and said,
“You do not have the privilege to know that yet!”
With that, she turned and entered the courtyard.
"Wait! How can you leave…”
Elder Tie Ming was anxious. He was too eager to know what terrifying existence lay hidden within.
That a Supreme could be driven mad, he thought of too much in that instant. With the opening of the Cangli Mountain Range, to imagine that such a frightening existence was hidden in this peculiar little village was chilling to think about.
However, as he took a step forward, a clear sound of flute playing came from the courtyard!
This flute sound, like some irresistible force, caused Elder Tie Ming to be taken aback, staring dazedly at the courtyard!
