Chapter 54(1/2)
After a while, there was no movement around. Li Muchan pondered for a moment and vaguely guessed Yi Xiaoru's thoughts. She actually identified herself.
However, because she did not kill her, she showed mercy, but sent someone to ask for sword skills. This was a warning, showing that the Wan Sheng Sect was powerful and could not be provoked.
Li Muchan stood there and smiled, shook his head and set off.
On the way to Longshan Sect, he sorted out the secrets in his mind. Previously, he had swallowed them wholeheartedly, just to remember them and had no time to understand them in depth.
There were hundreds of secret books in his mind. He was careful at first, but then he became more and more familiar with them, so he took some secret books from Zishang Palace, exchanged them for the original ones, and took them back after reading them.
He moved carefully, and it was at dawn, so no one came to check, so he made no mistakes and read only half of the secret manual of Shenwu Tower.
This small half is the most essential part of Shenwu Tower. In fact, the secret manual is not very powerful. If he has time, he will take a look at it. If he has no time, he will not look at it for now.
While conducting research, he admired that the Longshan Sect was one of the most powerful sects in the world, and it was no fluke. Every secret book was subtle and mysterious, and could be used to subdue the sect's martial arts.
However, Longshan Sect used it as a reference, and it was obviously not as good as the Thirty-Six Arts. The exquisiteness of the Thirty-Six Arts can be seen. He had practiced Lotus Heart Palm, and it was indeed far beyond imagination.
The power of the Lotus Heart Palm is beyond imagination. If he compared it, it was similar to the Jade Return Sutra and the Sword Control Sutra, both of which were unique techniques of using both heart and energy.
The vitality of the world here is thin, and the essence in the body is more abundant and harder to control. Fortunately, life is long and can be tempered slowly. The Lotus Heart Palm is not impossible to cultivate, but it requires hundreds of years of hard work.
Without such concentration and perseverance, the spirit cannot grow, and there is no hope for Lotus Heart Palm. But there are only a few people who can really do it. It takes hundreds of years to practice a unique skill. Very few people dare to make such a bet.
Practicing martial arts and becoming a top master is for fame, wealth and beauty. After hundreds of years of hard training in Lotus Heart Palm, the martial arts is perfected, and the heart is getting old. The fame is useless, and the gain outweighs the loss, so few people in Longshan Sect practice it.
Only those who are indifferent by nature, have no desires and are willing to be mediocre, and continue to practice unhurriedly, will have any hope of achieving success.
I heard Liu Biyun say that someone in the Longshan Sect has mastered the Lotus Heart Palm, which shows the depth of the Longshan Sect and the abundance of talents. Compared with one of them, Zishang Palace is really from the Lower Riba.
He walked slowly and leisurely towards Longshan Sect. After ten days of walking, he estimated that he was halfway through the journey. That evening, he entered a small town and looked for an inn.
He had just settled down and was sitting on the couch, meditating and leisurely, when suddenly there was a knock on the door outside. Li Muchan smiled and said, "Come in, Miss Yi."
The door was pushed open, and Yi Xiaoru came in wearing a white shirt.
************************************
Li Muchan smiled and said: "Miss Yi is here, and it's a long way to welcome her!"
Yi Xiaoru's eyes were as bright as water, she looked him up and down, and said softly, "Mr. Li, have you met Senior Brother Wen?"
Li Muchan said: "After learning Brother Wen's swordsmanship, I am worthy of being a disciple of the Wan Sheng Sect!"
"Senior Brother Wen is a swordsman and specializes in swordsmanship." Yi Xiaoru came to the couch and sat elegantly on the wooden pier: "However, Senior Brother Wen's qualifications are not very good, and his swordsmanship is not top-notch in the sect."
Li Muchan smiled and said: "No worse than Brother Yin."
Yi Xiaoru said: "Junior Brother Yin's cultivation is deeper. As for swordsmanship..., human energy is limited. Junior Brother Yin focuses on the cultivation of internal strength, so his swordsmanship is inferior."
Li Muchan smiled half-heartedly: "Brother Wen's swordsmanship is not top-notch? How many of your sects are better than him?"
"When it comes to swordsmanship, there are eighty if not one hundred." Yi Xiaoru said calmly.
Li Muchan raised his eyebrows and chuckled.
Yi Xiaoru said: "Master Li, don't you believe it?"
Li Muchan smiled and said: "Miss Yi will definitely not deceive me. I didn't expect that there are so many masters of swordsmanship in the Wan Sheng Sect. I admire you!"
"Master Li, would you like to meet him?" Yi Xiaoru said.
Li Muchan smiled and said: "Okay, that's what I asked for. I also like swordsmanship, and I like to meet swordsman masters the most. Thank you so much, Miss Yi!"
Yi Xiaoru said: "You're welcome, I told Senior Brother Wen that your swordsmanship is good, but he still doesn't believe it. When he goes back this time, he will definitely practice his swordsmanship in seclusion and compete with you next time!"
Li Muchan smiled and said, "Then I'll wait. I've benefited a lot from the sword fight with Brother Wen!"
Yi Xiaoru said: "Other senior brothers will be curious when they see senior brother Wen practicing hard in seclusion. Senior brother Wen will not lie, and he will definitely tell Mr. Li that you are here."
Li Muchan raised his eyebrows and smiled: "Then you senior brothers will be unconvinced and come to me, right?"
"Yeah." Yi Xiaoru nodded lightly.
Li Muchan smiled bitterly and said, "My trouble is coming, isn't it?"
Yi Xiaoru chuckled: "Don't you, Mr. Li, like to meet masters of swordsmanship? You can enjoy it to your heart's content this time. Mr. Li, don't worry, although we are evil, we can compete with each other in martial arts without making a fatal blow!"
Li Muchan shook his head and sighed: "It is true that women and villains are difficult to raise!"
Yi Xiaoru pursed her lips and smiled, her bright eyes lit up, and she said slowly: "Master Li, is your name Li Guanhai or Li Wuji?"
Li Muchan remained calm and smiled: "Miss Yi, why can't I understand? What about Li Guanhai and Li Wuji? Did you admit the wrong person?"
Yi Xiaoru chuckled and shook her head: "Master Li, don't pretend to be confused. I have already figured it out. Li Wuji from Zishang Palace and Qingmei Li Guanhai are both the same person."
Li Muchan frowned and looked at her, sighing: "How can Miss Yi find out?"
Yi Xiaoru said: "It's really amazing that a disciple of Zishang Palace has such a cultivation level. Mr. Li, have you obtained the Dawn Glow Technique of Zishang Palace?...the real Dawn Glow Technique?"
Li Muchan nodded: "Well, I realized this skill by chance."
"No wonder." Yi Xiaoru nodded lightly: "A powerful figure once came out of Zishang Palace. Unfortunately, Zishang Palace prospered because of him, but also declined because of him."
"Senior Ma is an amazing person. His rise to prosperity is due to him, but his decline is also due to him?" Li Muchan asked curiously. He really didn't know. He only knew about the rise of Senior Ma. He didn't know the subsequent news, nor did the disciples of Zishang Palace.
No one knows, maybe only Qin Yeqiu knows.
Yi Xiaoru said: "Zishang Gong was unknown at first, but later he became famous all over the world because of him. Unfortunately, he provoked our sect and died unexpectedly."
Li Muchan's expression changed slightly: "Senior Ma died at the hands of the Wan Sheng Sect?"
"That's right." Yi Xiaoru nodded softly: "So the Zhaoxia Kung Fu was lost. The Zishang Palace didn't survive either. It relied on the Yingyue Kung Fu to survive."
Li Muchan narrowed his eyes slightly and frowned.
Yi Xiaoru said: "But our sect has never paid much attention to Zishang Palace. If you don't cause trouble, we won't bother to care. Otherwise, Zishang Palace would have been destroyed long ago!"
Li Muchan's expression became more and more solemn. Zishang Palace was really in trouble. It offended Longshan Sect and had enmity with Wan Sheng Sect. There was no room for good or evil.
***********************
He suddenly laughed: "As expected of the number one evil sect, you can figure out my identity."
Yi Xiaoru said: "Under our sect, no one can escape."
Li Muchan stretched his body and smiled lazily: "Miss Yi is exaggerating."
Yi Xiaoru smiled faintly, with a hint of arrogance. She smiled and said: "Master Li went to Longshan Sect as Li Guanhai, doesn't he have some other agenda?"
Li Muchan smiled and said: "I want to see the reality of Longshan Sect."
Yi Xiaoru said: "Master Li, why should you waste your efforts? Zishang Palace is not qualified to compete with Longshan Sect. There is a huge difference between the two sects."
Li Muchan smiled: "It depends on man-made things."
Yi Xiaoru said: "If Mr. Li wants to deal with it, I advise you to give up as soon as possible. It is a luck that Zishang Palace can be saved. If you continue to provoke Longshan Sect, Zishang Palace will be destroyed."
Li Muchan smiled and said, "Thank you, Miss Yi, for your kindness!"
"Does Young Master Li want to kill me?" Yi Xiaoru smiled lightly.
Li Muchando narrowed his eyes and smiled: "Miss Yi is too smart. Women who are too smart are not lovable!"
Yi Xiaoru smiled half-heartedly: "Don't worry, Mr. Li, I am the only one who knows!"
Li Muchan sighed, shook his head and smiled bitterly.
This was the first time he met a woman who made him feel weak. Her words sounded like she was tempting him to take action, but in fact she was warning him that if he took action, he would not be the only one to know about it.
Yi Xiaoru said: "Master Li, do you want me to tell the senior brothers to stop them?"
Li Muchan smiled and said, "Thank you for your kindness, miss. No need."
Yi Xiaoru smiled and said: "There are many senior brothers who like swordsmanship. I am afraid that you will be bored. If you get really angry, or if you miss something, I am afraid that it will implicate Zishang Palace."
Li Muchan smiled bitterly: "So, I can only accept the girl's kindness?"
Yi Xiaoru said calmly: "I have always been clear about grudges. I will help you find out Li Guanhai's identity again. Your Zishang Palace's methods are too ordinary!"
"Thank you very much!" Li Muchan clasped his fists. When he was not trying to show off, he still had a high opinion of Zishang Palace. If he was really found out by the Longshan Sect, he would be in trouble, and Liu Biyun would be implicated.
Yi Xiaoru said: "No need to thank you, we are settled."
Li Muchan understood what she meant, which meant that he had not killed her in the first place, and smiled: "Okay, it's cleared up."
Yi Xiaoru said: "It's another account for me to help you block the senior brothers."
Li Muchan smiled and said, "Then how should I repay it?"
"Kill someone for me!" Yi Xiaoru's bright eyes flashed, showing a hint of coldness.
Li Muchan raised his eyebrows: "Who is it?"
"Mei Daoling of Longshan Sect." Yi Xiaoru said these words slowly.
Li Muchan said: "A master of Longshan Sect?"
Yi Xiaoru took a deep breath, and her plump chest rose and fell violently. Li Muchan's heart skipped a beat, but he looked into her eyes intently: "She doesn't seem to be famous."
Yi Xiaoru had a stern face and cold eyes, trying her best to suppress her murderous intention, but she couldn't hide it from Li Muchan: "He is a hermit of Longshan Sect."
"A hermit?" Li Muchan pondered, "But a disciple of the Longshan Sect?"
"Yes." Yi Xiaoru nodded and said: "There is a group of disciples of the Longshan Sect who do not care about worldly affairs and only pursue the study of martial arts as their lifelong pursuit. They are unknown but have excellent martial arts skills."
