Chapter 211 In the deserted valley of Xiangyang, Xu Ziyi paid homage to his predecessors.
The trip to Xiangyang was originally in Xu Ziyi's plan.
In his early years, when he first entered the martial arts world, due to insufficient internal strength, he also set his sights on the Bodhisattva Snake.
The Bodhisattva Snake is a strange species of snake. This snake has been seen in Buddhist scriptures. It glows faintly with golden light all over its body. It has horns on its head and walks like the wind. It is extremely difficult to catch. Its gallbladder is dark purple and it immediately appears after eating.
The spirit is refreshed and the strength can be greatly increased.
It's a pity that when he was in the Kangxi period, there was a gap of nearly a thousand years from the time when the heroes and heroines were active in the late Southern Song Dynasty. This thousand years was enough to change a lot of things.
Therefore, Xu Ziyi has been active in Xiangyang for a long time, but he has never found any trace of the Bodhisattva Snake. He has never even heard of this kind of snake from the mouths of local villagers.
Compared to the Jueqing Valley located in the mountains between Guanluo and Guanluo, the traces of the Bodhisattva Snake are even more difficult to find and seem to have disappeared.
Therefore, Xu Ziyi was inevitably disappointed at first.
Now that he is in the world of Yitian, it is only less than a hundred years away from the era when the heroes and heroines disappeared from the world. Naturally, he is interested in going to the nameless valley outside Xiangyang City to find out.
After instructing Wei Yixiao at the foot of Shaoshi Mountain to go to Guangmingding to invite Zhang Wuji and Yin Li to Xiangyang in person, Xu Ziyi took Zhao Min and Xiao Zhao slowly towards Xiangyang.
Since Xu Ziyi had roughly mastered the four magical arts during one month of seclusion in the Shaolin Temple, he naturally became more leisurely and relaxed with his thoughts. He knew that he had wronged the two girls before, so Xu Ziyi took the two girls with him along the way.
Traveling around the mountains and rivers, slowly rushing to Xiangyang.
Shaoshi Mountain is only five or six hundred miles away from Xiangyang. With Xu Ziyi's distance, even with his two daughters, he could get there in one day.
But since Xu Ziyi obtained the Void Stone Gate, he spent most of his time in practicing martial arts in the several worlds he visited.
Because Xu Ziyi was too weak when he traveled through time, he was just an ordinary person, and his starting point was too low. In addition, the world of the Tang Dynasty was more dangerous than the world Xu Ziyi experienced.
Therefore, Xu Ziyi has never relaxed in the slightest, so speaking carefully, he has not been so relaxed for a long time.
As Xu Ziyi and his party walked slowly towards Xiangyang, every time they passed through a place, they had to spend a day to have fun in the local area.
Xu Ziyi has traveled to many worlds, and the world he lived in in his previous life was extremely prosperous, so he naturally takes these things for granted.
Although Zhao Min was the princess of the current dynasty, he traveled all over the country in the company of Xuan Ming and others all year round, so he was considered well-informed.
The only exception was Xiao Zhao. Every time she went to the market with Xu Ziyi's company, she would become extremely excited. It seemed that only then could she take off her disguise and show the coquettishness similar to her age.
Seeing Xiao Zhao so cute and cute, Xu Ziyi couldn't help but feel a little more pity in his heart, and his good impression of Dai Qisi also dropped a lot.
Dai Qisi was an extremely cold-blooded person. First, she had an affair with Han Qianye, which made her disgusted by most of the followers of the Ming Sect. She also broke with the Ming Sect because she sneaked into the Guangmingding secret passage to try to steal the secret of the "Great Shift of the Universe" and committed suicide.
He left Mingjiao completely and lived in seclusion on Spirit Snake Island in the East China Sea with Han Qianye.
In the middle of the journey, the two were plotted together in the Western Region. Han Qianye was extremely poisoned, but Dai Qisi could still be treated. Hu Qingniu refused to treat Mr. Yinye, and finally Han Qianye died. The purple-shirted Dragon King had a grudge against the Ming Cult.
, and used tricks to force Hu Qingniu to treat people who were not members of the Ming sect, and finally came to hunt down Hu Qingniu and his wife Wang Nangu.
It can be said that she has a cold nature. In the end, because of the pursuit of the Persian Archbishop, she did not hesitate to send her daughter, who was fostered elsewhere, to Guangmingding for Yang Buhui to act as a maid. All her actions failed to show that she was a mother.
The slightest shadow.
If it weren't for Xiao Zhao's relationship, Xu Ziyi would not want to have anything to do with a woman like Dai Qisi.
Therefore, growing up in such an environment, Xiao Zhao lacked a lot of things. Now with Xu Ziyi's company, she can show such a childish side.
"Sir, this thing is so sour!"
Xiao Zhao was holding the candied haws he just bought with a sour expression on his face.
Seeing Xiao Zhao being so cute and naive, Zhao Min couldn't help but smile, while Xu Ziyi reached out and touched her head.
Less than five or six hundred miles away, Xu Ziyi and his party traveled for five days and finally arrived in Xiangyang in the early morning of the sixth day.
Because Lu Wenhuan, the defender of Xiangyang, surrendered the city, the people in the Xiangfan area were not massacred by the Yuan army. Therefore, decades passed in the blink of an eye, and Xiangyang City continued to be prosperous.
After Xu Ziyi and his party made some repairs in Xiangyang City, they went out to find the tomb of the former "Sword Demon" Dugu Qiubai.
Due to previous interactions with the girl in yellow shirt, Xu Ziyi asked her about the location of the unknown deserted valley outside Xiangyang City, so he naturally knew the specific location in detail.
Even without the help of the girl in yellow shirt, Xu Ziyi could still find the location of the unknown deserted valley in the past.
It should be noted that today's Xiangyang is very different from the Xiangyang during the Kangxi period. Although it is far from the change of the sea, the location of the valley will be slightly different due to changes in the tree environment, and a lot of time will inevitably be wasted.
.
"Sir, are we looking for someone here?"
In the dense woods, Xiao Zhao looked at Xu Ziyi's back and couldn't help but wonder.
Xu Ziyi, who was walking in front, explained: "I can't tell you who I am looking for. I can only say that I came to pay homage to the former residence of a senior!"
"Senior's former residence?"
Xiao Zhao and Zhao Min looked at each other, obviously interested.
Following the guidance of the girl in yellow, Xu Ziyi took Zhao Min and his two daughters all the way to the west. After spending several hours, they arrived at a deserted valley.
This desolate valley is secluded, lonely, overgrown with weeds, and without a trace of human life!
Just listen to the cold mountain wind blowing, blowing the grass and trees, and the gravel and gravel rolling.
"Is this where Dugu Qiubai lived in seclusion in the past?"
Xu Ziyi was dressed in a green shirt, and his sleeves moved with the wind, making a hunting sound.
He stood quietly high on the cliff, overlooking the entire valley. Behind him, Zhao Min and his two daughters also looked at this deserted valley with curiosity, which had not been visited by outsiders for a long time.
After looking around for a while, he immediately jumped out from the top of the cliff that was more than thirty feet high. He grabbed Zhao Min's two daughters with his left and right hands respectively. His body was as light as a flying bird, and he landed in the valley in a leisurely manner.
During this period, although Zhao Min and his two daughters had martial arts skills, they could not help but grab Xu Ziyi's arms and snuggle tightly in his arms if they encountered such a dangerous thing.
When the two of them stood still, Xu Ziyi walked towards the valley. The weeds in front of him, which was about half the height of a man, seemed to be driven by an invisible force and automatically revealed a path for the three of them to pass.
This is Xu Ziyi's hard work of practicing in the Shaolin Temple for a month. It seems that he is just polishing his body and making it indestructible. In fact, Xu Ziyi's use of his own Qi has reached a new level.
After Xu Ziyi walked in the valley for a long time, he saw rustling sounds coming from the grass not far away from time to time. Seeing this, Zhao Min and Xiao Zhao couldn't help but look surprised.
"Sister Zhao, the snake looks so strange to you!"
Xiao Zhao pointed to a snake crawling in the grass not far away and couldn't help but said in surprise.
After several months of getting along with each other, Xiao Zhao, who was already sensible, gradually let go of his previous guard after seeing Zhao Min's obvious love for his son.
In addition, Zhao Min is already smart, so the relationship between the two naturally improved a lot during the one month they spent together in the Shaolin Temple.
"oh!"
Zhao Min also looked into the distance after hearing this, and saw that the snake had horns on its head, like a small dragon. Its whole body was also golden. When it walked, it shuttled like the wind. Under the reflection of the sky, there was a faint trace of silk all over its body.
The golden light is extremely supernatural!
Xu Ziyi's eyes moved and he immediately knew that this was the so-called Bodhisattva Snake.
I saw his fingers move slightly, and with a hiss, a wisp of finger wind was sent out into the air.
puff!
When I saw the head of this Bodhisattva snake exploding, it was clear that I had deliberately avoided the position of its gallbladder.
Whoosh!
A dark purple snake gall seemed to be pulled by silk thread and fell into Xu Ziyi's hands.
"What are you doing with this fishy, smelly thing?"
Smelling the obvious fishy smell in her nose, Zhao Min couldn't help but wrinkle her nose slightly. Not to mention that it was her who was doing this, even Xiao Zhao on the side seemed to be pinching his nose.
It is true that the two of them possess martial arts skills, but after all, they are both women, and as women, they naturally hate snakes. When they saw Xu Ziyi kill a strange species of snake with a snap of his fingers, and then photographed its snake gallbladder from the air, naturally he couldn't help but think: "Is it possible?"
Does this snake gall have other wonderful uses?"
"Yes, this snake gallbladder is of great use to people in the world!"
Seeing that Zhao Min Bingxue was smart and had guessed something, Xu Ziyi stopped talking and slowly explained.
"oh!"
When Zhao Min heard this, her pretty eyes moved slightly, and she was obviously interested.
If Zhao Min had any shortcomings, it would be that he had the same problem as Huang Rong, that is, he lacked the will to fight.
Zhao Min had martial arts masters from the Western Region Vajra Sect and Xuan Ming to teach him martial arts, while Huang Rong had Huang Yaoshi, the master of the five arts. Both of them could be considered to have family backgrounds, but they both lacked perseverance.
It is difficult to achieve a breakthrough in one's own martial arts for a while.
However, Zhao Min's interest in martial arts is indeed better than that of Huang Rong. For example, he sought martial arts lessons from the six major sects in Wan'an Temple, but these were just temporary interests.
Otherwise, among the many masters in her house, not only their cultivation level far surpasses that of Zhang Wuji, but they are at least on the same level as Xian Yutong. However, this is not the case.
"This snake has been seen in Buddhist scriptures and is called the 'Bodhisattva Snake.' Its gallbladder has magical effects. After taking it, your internal strength and energy will be greatly increased."
After saying this, Xu Ziyi took out the snake gallbladder and handed it to Zhao Min.
Even though they heard that the snake gallbladder was so useful, Zhao Min and Xiao Zhao hesitated and avoided it. Seeing this, Xu Ziyi had to swallow it himself.
As soon as the snake's gallbladder entered his belly, Xu Ziyi observed his thoughts silently and felt a slight surge of heat, which passed away in a flash.
Naturally, Xu Ziyi didn't pay attention to this trace of heat.
But unexpectedly, Xu Ziyi was able to realize that his own strength had little to offer, and he couldn't help but be pleasantly surprised.
"This snake gallbladder is indeed very useful. With my current level of cultivation, it can even increase my strength!"
Speaking of this, Xu Ziyi's eyes were full of surprise.
"Brother Xu, don't lie to me!"
Hearing what Xu Ziyi said, even though Zhao Min had just resisted swallowing the snake's gallbladder, he couldn't help but feel moved in his heart.
"Why did I lie to you?"
Xu Ziyi smiled slightly and said.
As he spoke, he led Zhao Min and his two daughters into the valley slowly.
Since we can all encounter the Bosi Snake not long after entering the valley, it naturally means that the Bosi Snake in the valley is not extinct now. Knowing this, Xu Ziyi naturally does not worry.
It should be noted that after the death of Dugu Qiubei, Shen Biao had lived in seclusion in the deserted valley for a long time, and he often used snakes to satisfy his hunger. In addition, when Yang Guo visited later, he almost ate all the Bodhisattva snakes in the valley in one go.
This is not a fabrication by Xu Ziyi, but a fact.
After Yang Guo had his arm cut off by Guo Fu, his encounter with Xiao Longnu led him to create a secret ecstasy palm.
But the perception of this palm technique is one thing, but the power of the palm cannot be faked. Otherwise, Yang Guo's arm alone would be able to overwhelm the King of the Golden Wheel. Naturally, it has something to do with swallowing the gall of a Bodhisattva snake.
In addition, the woman in yellow shirt knows the location of this valley so clearly, so she must have taken the magical effect of snake gall in it.
Otherwise, how could she have such deep inner strength when she is less than thirty years old!
After walking a hundred feet away, a large cave suddenly appeared in front of us.
Xu Ziyi knew in his heart that this was the place where Dugu Qiubai lived in seclusion in the past, so he went straight into the cave without hesitation.
But there was only a stone table and a stone bench in the cave, and a pile of rubble in the corner of the cave, just like a deserted tomb.
Xu Ziyi looked up. There seemed to be writing on the cave wall. He waved his robe and swept away the moss and ash on the wall. He immediately saw three lines of small characters. The iron-painted silver hooks were like a swimming line between the strokes.
The light of the sword came and went vertically and horizontally.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Those three lines are: "For more than thirty years, I have been in the rivers and lakes, killing all the enemies and defeating all the heroes. There is no one in the world who can resist me. I have no choice but to live in seclusion."
In the deep valley, withering is my friend.”
"Ugh, if you can't find a rival in your life, it's so lonely and embarrassing!"
There is a signature below: "Sword Demon Dugu seeks defeat!"
Xu Ziyi looked at it for a long time, then whispered: "It's a pity, it's a pity, it's a pity that you were born at the wrong time, but you can't get a rival."
He meant what he said sincerely. Not counting him as a hurried traveler, there were many masters in Yitian Jianghu.
Not to mention Zhang Zhenren, who is praised by the martial arts community as being comparable to Bodhidharma, the founder of Shaolin. Even Taoist Baishu, who dominated the martial arts community decades ago, can be regarded as a rare master.
Even Qing Lingzi, the founder of the Kongtong Sect and the creator of Seven Injury Boxing, can be considered a master.
Not to mention, the five talents of the era of shooting, especially Lin Chaoying, a generation of heroine who worked from the sidelines, are a rare opponent.
"This senior is so overbearing!"
Zhao Min raised her head and looked at the three lines of small words left on the cave wall. Seeing this from her perspective, she couldn't help but click her tongue and sigh, while Xiao Zhao beside her also nodded in agreement.
Then his eyes turned to the two 'graves' in the cave. They were piled with rocks in a disorderly manner. He shook his head again. With his eyesight, he naturally saw that one of the tombs was obviously newly built, and there was a small one on it.
The stone slab reads: "Brother Tuo's Tomb".
These four words seemed to be carved out with a sharp weapon, which penetrated about three inches into the stone. Even with the help of a sharp weapon, it would be difficult for ordinary people to do it, and it was obviously the work of an expert.
Xu Ziyi's heart moved, and it was not difficult to guess that this new tomb was left by Yang Guo for the gods in the past.
Seeing this, Xu Ziyi couldn't help but sigh in his heart, no matter how advanced your martial arts skills are, you will be nothing more than a handful of loess after a hundred years.
In the midst of this sigh, Xu Ziyi waved his sleeve, completely shaking away the layer of dust that had fallen around the two tombs. Finally, Zhao Min and the two daughters saw Xu Ziyi stretch out his right hand and write something on the cave wall.
.
I saw Xu Ziyi using his finger as a pen, and after a while, he wrote a line of small words under the cave wall.
The two of them looked closely and saw that there seemed to be some martial arts formula written on it. Both of them were intelligent people, so it was not difficult to see that the inner formula of the formula seemed to come from the Zhouyi hexagrams.
"Returning to younger sisters tends to be Wuwu, Wuwu tends to be like people, and like people tend to be great. A turns to B, B turns to Geng, Geng turns to Gui. The acquaintance of Zi and Chou, the acquaintance of Chen and Ji, the acquaintance of Wuwei..."
"Wind and thunder are changing, mountains and rivers are changing, water and fire are changing. Heaven and earth stimulate each other, earthquakes and shocks stimulate each other, Li and Xun stimulate each other..."
All this is the clear meaning at the beginning of "Dugu Nine Swords" and the final move!
