We reached Tabor safely, and considerably in advance of that old iron-clad swindle of a guard. We never saw a human being on the whole route, much less lawless hordes of Bedouins. Tabor stands solitary and alone, a giant sentinel above the Plain of Esdraelon. It rises some fourteen hundred feet above the surrounding level, a green, wooden cone, symmetrical and full of grace--a prominent landmark, and one that is exceedingly pleasant to eyes surfeited with the repulsive monotony of desert Syria. We climbed the steep path to its summit, through breezy glades of thorn and oak. The view presented from its highest peak was almost beautiful. Below, was the broad, level plain of Esdraelon, checkered with fields like a chess-board, and full as smooth and level, seemingly; dotted about its borders with white, compact villages, and faintly penciled, far and near, with the curving lines of roads and trails. When it is robed in the fresh verdure of spring, it must form a charming picture, even by itself. Skirting its southern border rises "Little Hermon," over whose summit a glimpse of Gilboa is caught. Nain, famous for the raising of the widow's son, and Endor, as famous for the performances of her witch are in view. To the eastward lies the Valley of the Jordan and beyond it the mountains of Gilead. Westward is Mount Carmel. Hermon in the north--the table-lands of Bashan-Safed, the holy city, gleaming white upon a tall spur of the mountains of Lebanon--a steel-blue corner of the Sea of Galilee--saddle-peaked Hattin, traditional "Mount of Beatitudes " and mute witness brave fights of the Crusading host for Holy Cross-- these fill up the picture.

剑反
七十年前，孤独飞云剑试天下，江湖中亦如云高手，竟无一人能敌。太白一派自此声名鹊起，独孤飞云改论剑峰下一处天池为-沉剑池。并放言四海：凡使剑者，若能通过太白派法剑、心剑、天剑三关，即可沉剑于此。从此等于昭示天下封剑退隐，江湖恩怨，一笔勾销。若有人找封剑之人寻仇，便是与武林公理为敌，仇敌由太白一力承担，太白即使不敌，也必然与之周旋到底。转眼间，今年的沉剑大会也举办在即，名满天下的华山名侠-江别月已送来沉剑的请呈。太白掌门李守忻分派弟子前往各派发送请柬。前往东越天香谷的柳卿晗一行人，却是奇遇不断，与江别月的弟子-秦简一同卷入了金桃怪盗、东瀛剑圣等纷争之中。而当一行人回到太白时，前来赴会的七大派掌门在太白境内离奇失踪，七派门人受谣言挑唆携江湖群雄围困太白。太白兴亡存于一线，而唯一知道事情真相的秦简，将成为决定武林兴衰的关键。而这一切，都只是风雨前的“宁静“。
