The next day, Chen Jingchou and the others went out on the streets to relax. Everyone had heard that there were two markets in the capital, the east and west, which were the most prosperous places in Chang 'an, so they went to the city to stroll. It took him four to five days to finish visiting the two cities. Indeed, merchants were everywhere, and the streets were filled with rare treasures. Occasionally, they would meet guests from the Western Regions with high noses and deep eyes, which dazzled everyone and made them sigh.
When the sunrise rose from the manor, everyone headed north of the city and took a straight road. Arriving at the palace, he saw that there were many halls and pavilions in the palace. The towers were tall and imposing, giving off the aura of a king. Chen Fu stood in front of the Imperial Palace and could not help but sigh. He was not in a good mood and returned to the Imperial Residence first.
Chen Jingchou and the others continued to head east. After passing through a few streets, they heard a commotion ahead. Everyone followed the sound and turned around the corner. They saw a group of people gathered in front of a red door, making a commotion. A few soldiers with spears in their hands hurriedly stepped forward to stop him. Chen Jingchou and the others did not know what was going on. They walked behind the group of people and saw that they were all ordinary people. They cried out loudly," Give me back my family's life…Give me back my own life…" The crowd was so agitated that they were in a mess and were about to rush through the door. The soldier quickly raised his spear and shouted loudly to stop them, blocking everyone back. "You bastard Yuwen!" the hundred men shouted hoarsely. Get out here immediately! I'm going to fight it out with you!" She cried.
When Chen Jingchou and the others heard this, their hearts trembled. He raised his head and looked at the wooden plaque on the door. As expected, the words 'Grand Preceptor's Residence' were written in large golden characters. Chen Jingchou led a commoner to the side of the street and asked him why he was crying. The commoner cried and said that he was originally from Fuling, Badong. He had gone out to do business many years ago and had bought some goods a month ago. He had wanted to return to his hometown to visit his relatives. However, when he arrived home, he found that the entire Fuling had been destroyed. The old and young of his family had all died. After many investigations, they found out that when the incident happened, there was a troop under Grand Tutor Yuwen outside the city, led by a general called Han Teng. They felt that Grand Preceptor Yuwen had a lot to do with this matter, so they discussed with the villagers who were lucky enough to escape and came together to seek justice outside Grand Preceptor Yuwen's residence. After saying that, she started crying. When Chen Jingchou and the others heard this, they were shocked and indignant. They secretly cursed Grand Tutor Yuwen for being so cruel and harming the people. The villager cried for a while and said that he had bribed the soldiers with a large sum of money to obtain a letter. He had been carrying it with him all this time and handed it to Chen Jingchou for him to judge.
Chen Jingchou and the others retreated to the corner and opened the letter. Chen Jingchou glanced at it and read,"" Old General Han, the Red Cross Demon Star is approaching. The six Blood Beads must be obtained as soon as possible. When the second and the 40,000 Spirit Blood Formation were about to be executed, there were unidentified enemies who obstructed it. General Yang and General Shangguan had already died for their country. General Hulu also missed the opportunity to obtain the fourth Ten Thousand Spirit Blood Bead because of this! The matter of the Ten Thousand Spirit Blood concerns the survival of China. Please send troops to Fuling immediately after receiving this letter. In seven days, we will complete the fifth Ten Thousand Spirit Blood Bead. As for the 40,000 spirit blood beads, due to the loss of time, I will personally go to Changsha to deal with them after returning from Nanling. Don't worry. Grand Preceptor Sui, personally written by Yuwen Tuo."
After Chen Jingqiu finished reading, he returned the letter to the villagers. Tuoba Yu 'er said angrily,"Damn it! It's Grand Tutor Yuwen again!" Chen Jingchou was also furious. He punched the wall heavily, and with a bang, debris flew everywhere. Tuoba Yu 'er suddenly thought of something and said,""Ah Chou…quickly open the map on the top of Mount Tai!”Chen Jingchou did not understand, but he took out the map and spread it out on the ground.
Tuoba Yu 'er looked at the map and nodded.""Indeed…Look!" He pointed at the map,"If Yanmen is the first ten thousand spirit blood, then add Donglai, Kuaiji, Changsha, Fuling, and Lingwu. Using the red lines to connect them together, it just so happened to draw a huge hexagonal pattern on the Central Plains!”"Ah Chou, look at this pattern. Is it the same as the Ten Thousand Spirit Blood Formation we've seen before?"”Chen Jingchou looked at the map and nodded.""Yes, I've noticed it long ago. It's indeed the same. But what did this pattern have to do with the Ten Thousand Spirit Blood Formation?”
Tuoba Yu 'er said," Of course it's related. Look, they've already obtained four drops of Ten Thousand Spirit Blood from Yanmen, Donglai, Kuaiji, and Fuling! Thinking about it, Grand Tutor Yuwen would return to Changsha to retrieve the fifth drop of Ten Thousand Spirit Blood!”Chen Jingchou thought for a while and suddenly realized,""Damn it, we must stop him!”Tuoba Yu 'er said," That's right. Human lives are at stake. Let's hurry back to Changsha and try to stop Grand Tutor Yuwen!"”Chen Jingchou nodded, and the three of them hurried back to the Imperial Residence.
After entering the Prince's mansion and arriving at Chen Fu's room, Chen Jingchou stepped forward to explain what had happened. "What?" Chen Fu asked. Are you going to Changsha first instead of Hexi to find the Fuxi Zither?”
Chen Jingchou said," Yes, Master. This matter involves many lives. I think it's more urgent!”
Chen Fu turned around and said,"No!" If the Sui people get the Fuxi Zither first, what will happen to our country?”
Chen Jingchou gritted his teeth and said," Master, this is a matter of life and death…Disciple, disciple is unfilial. I have to go. Please forgive me, Master!"”In the past ten years, Chen Jingchou had never disobeyed his master. When he said this, Chen Fu also gritted his teeth and said angrily," Preposterous!..." After taking a few deep breaths and being quiet for a while, he sighed."Forget it, forget it. You can go wherever you want!”He closed his eyes and turned around. Chen Jingchou called out several times, but Chen Fu just closed his eyes and did not answer. Chen Jingchou could only kneel down and kowtow a few times before leaving the room with Tuoba Yu 'er and Yu Xiaoxue.
Everyone packed their luggage and walked out. When they came to the attic in the garden, they didn't see Dugu Ningke. Only the maid Yanhong was there. She went forward to ask and found out that Dugu Ningke had gone hunting with Princess Anping in the West Mountain early in the morning. Chen Jingchou then told Yanhong about the past and asked her to pass on the message to the princess. Yanhong agreed. Just as Chen Jingchou and the others were striding toward the gates of the manor, they suddenly heard someone behind them shout,""Jingchou! Wait!" Chen Jingchou turned around and saw Chen Fu rushing over from behind. He had also packed his luggage.
"Master, you…why are you here?" Chen Jingchou went up to him and asked.”
"I…I'll go with you!" Chen Fu said.”
" No, Master…" Chen Jingchou hesitated." Your body is still very weak. You should stay here and recuperate!"”
Chen Fu said," No, since I've decided to leave, then I'll leave. You don't have to say anything!"……”Chen Jingchou didn't dare to disobey. He took his master's luggage and slung it over his shoulder. Everyone left together.
Chen Jingchou went to the market and bought four fast horses. The group was travel-worn, traveling day and night for nearly a month before reaching the outskirts of Changsha. He didn't enter the city and ran straight to the Sui army camp. He dismounted from his horse and tied it to a tree trunk. He quietly walked over. Chen Jingchou jumped onto the tree and looked into the camp. The camp was in a mess, with the ground covered in firewood ashes. The troops had long disappeared without a trace. He couldn't help but feel surprised and told his master what he had seen. Everyone felt strange. They walked into the camp together. After passing through a few collapsed fences, they arrived at the center of the military camp. The main tent was still there, and in the open space in front of the tent, there was a Ten Thousand Spirit Blood Formation. One of them was wearing a brown cloak and had his back to the crowd. Suddenly, a red light flashed, and a few rays of light gathered in the palm of that person. Chen Jingchou recalled what he had seen on the summit of Mount Tai and said in shock,"" Ah, this is…" The man turned around, a blood-red bead appearing in his right palm."Hmph…they really came! I knew that you would come to stop me.”Chen Jingchou caught a glimpse of that person's face and said in shock,"" You…you are…" That person said,""Grand Tutor Yuwen of the Great Sui Dynasty is here today to personally greet all of you!”Chen Fu was also shocked. Yuwen Tuo's eyes swept across everyone, making everyone's hair stand on end.
Yuwen Tuo's gaze swept over Tuoba Yu 'er and stopped. He said,""Miss, if I remember correctly, we should have met on the dragon boat before!”
"What an honor!" Tuoba Yu 'er sneered. A person as honorable as the Grand Preceptor still remembers me! -- But this should be the third time we've met!”
" The third time…" Yuwen Tuoqi said." When have I seen you other than on the dragon boat?"”
Tuoba Yu 'er said," Grand Preceptor, you're really forgetful. Don't you remember what happened in the Devil King's Stronghold?"”
" What a joke!" Yuwen Tuo said." I don't even know what the Devil King's Bastion is, let alone know what it is!"”Tuoba Yu 'er saw that his expression was solemn and did not seem to be lying. She could not help but feel surprised and was speechless for a moment.
Yuwen Tuo said," I know that there have been a few young people who have been opposing me time and time again recently. I really didn't expect that one of them was actually you, the assassin lady!”He looked up at the distant mountains and said slowly,"I admire your courage…You remind me of my childhood when I followed my foster father's surname, Yang!”He closed his eyes slightly and immersed himself in his memories.
When Chen Fu heard this, it was like a bolt from the blue. His heart trembled as he shouted with a trembling voice,"Jingchou! Run…Grand Tutor Yuwen was Yang Tuo from sixteen years ago!”
Chen Jingchou and the others had yet to react. Yuwen Tuo had already turned his head, and his eyes were like lightning.""Hmph, it won't be that easy to leave! Let me ask you first-why do you want to oppose me and obstruct my great plans!”
"You still have the cheek to say that…You're so ambitious that you disregard human lives. Do you think everyone in the world can kill you?" Tuoba Yu 'er said.”
"Oh, is that so?" Yuwen Tuo asked coldly.”
"You know best what you've done!" Tuoba Yu 'er said.”
Yuwen Tuo pondered for a while and then turned to the main topic,""According to my investigation, the Kongtong Seal was taken away by you, and the Shennong Cauldron seems to have fallen into your hands…"
"Jingchou!" Chen Fu was shocked and shouted,"Jingchou, quickly…quickly escape!"”
Yuwen Tuo's expression was stern as he shouted,""I order you to hand over the Kongtong Seal and the Shennong Cauldron immediately. Otherwise, none of you can leave this place today!”
"Hmph, stop dreaming!" Chen Jingchou shouted.”
Yuwen Tuo's anger burned as he said,""I see that you are young, so I really don't want to kill you…Don't force me to kill you!”
When Chen Fu saw that the situation was already tense, he said anxiously,"Jingchou, leave quickly! You don't know how powerful this Yang Tuo is…Hurry up!”He reached out and dragged Chen Jingchou away.
Tuoba Yu 'er raised her eyebrows and said,"Hmph, Grand Tutor Yuwen!" If you want to make a move, just do it directly. Stop being hypocritical!”
Yuwen Tuo closed his eyes slightly and said," Alright, I, Yuwen Tuo, won't take advantage of your youth. Today, I will fight with one hand. If the three of you can make me use both hands, then I will lose!"”
As soon as he finished speaking, his left hand slowly raised the golden heavy sword. With a calm expression, he stood firmly in the center of the array. Chen Jingchou and the others drew their weapons and surrounded Yuwen Tuo from three sides. They gathered their strength and waited for the opportunity to attack. Everyone held their breath. A strong wind blew, stirring up a cloud of dust. As it whistled past, the air seemed to have solidified.
Chen Jingchou activated the Art of Ghost Valley and gathered the cold air on his sword. He suddenly shouted loudly and used the Rain of Raindrops. The blade of his sword turned into hundreds of white lights and stabbed at Yuwen Tuo at the same time. Yuwen Tuo didn't move his legs. He waved the golden sword in his left hand and raised it to block. The two swords clashed. Clang! Clang! Chen Jingchou pushed the frosty Qi over, but it was like a stone sinking into the ocean, disappearing without a trace in an instant. Chen Jingchou was shocked. Yuwen Tuo looked calm.
Tuoba Yu 'er used the Tiger Rising to the Sky and hurriedly slashed at Yuwen Tuo's lower body. Yuwen Tuo blocked Chen Jingchou's long sword and the golden sword in his hand suddenly changed direction, easily parrying Tuoba Yu' er's attack. The golden sword was thrown back as if it had eyes and hit Yu Xiaoxue's iron ring. Yu Xiaoxue felt her hand go numb, and the iron ring almost fell out of her hand.
Chen Jingchou's sword turned and used another Flower-Seeking in the Waves. He flew straight towards Yuwen Tuo, the sword in his hand as fast as lightning, almost invisible. At the same time, Tuoba Yu 'er used the Star Chasing Moon Breaking Technique. Her body turned into a red shadow as she raised her saber and slashed at Yuwen Tuo. Yuwen Tuo sneered. Yu Xiaoxue raised the iron ring and threw it at Yuwen Tuo's back. Yuwen Tuo raised his left hand, and the golden sword and Chen Jingchou's sword clashed. Chen Jingchou was about to withdraw his sword to attack, but the sword was stuck and could not be pulled back. Yuwen Tuo took advantage of the situation and Chen Jingchou could no longer stand straight. He fell forward and hurriedly released his sword, leaping away. The long sword followed the traction and swept backward, blocking Yu Xiaoxue's iron ring. At this moment, Yuwen Tuo had already retrieved his golden sword and pointed at Tuoba Yu 'er's wrist. Tuoba Yu' er could not stop herself and hurriedly scattered her sword before leaping back. In a moment, the three of them lost all their weapons. Let alone Yuwen Tuo using his hands, it was difficult for him to even move half a step. He was shocked and speechless. Yuwen Tuo nodded slightly and waved his left sleeve. The swords and iron rings on the ground actually flew up and slowly flew in front of everyone. Chen Jingchou and the others caught it and attacked dozens of times, but they still couldn't hurt Yuwen Tuo. "Mm, not bad!" Yuwen Tuo said. It's my turn to attack. Be careful!" He raised his golden sword and slashed down from the sky. The momentum was like a thunderclap, causing the heavens and earth to shatter. Chen Jingchou only felt the ground beneath his feet tremble. Before he knew what was going on, he had already been knocked down.
Chen Jingchou waited for a long time before waking up. He felt dizzy, his five internal organs churned, and his chest was filled with nausea. Yuwen Tuo had already put away his golden sword. He stood ten feet away from him and said,""At your age, it's already rare for you to reach such a level!”
Chen Jingchou felt like he was about to vomit out his internal organs. He cursed inwardly,""Damn it, he actually defeated us with just one hand!”
" You're right!" Yuwen Tuo took a step forward and said," Victory and defeat are already decided…Please hand over the Shennong Cauldron and Kongtong Seal!"”
Tuoba Yu 'er scolded,"Hmph, what a joke. We came here to stop your wild ambitions." How could he possibly hand over a Primordial Divine Artifact to someone like you?”
Yuwen Tuo's face sank." We had an agreement. Since you've lost, you have to hand over the divine artifact according to the agreement!"”
"Promise?" Tuoba Yu 'er asked. Who has an agreement with you?"
Yuwen Tuo was stunned. He remembered that Chen Jingchou and the others had not promised to hand over the divine artifact after being defeated, but he had promised not to ask for it from them if he used both hands. "I'll ask you again. Are you going to hand it over or not?"”
"Since we've lost, it's up to you to kill or torture us!" Chen Jingchou said angrily. However, if you want us to hand over the divine artifact, don't even think about it in your lifetime!”
Yuwen Tuo said,"In that case, I can only offend…" He waved his sleeves and struck out at Chen Jingchou. Chen Jingchou fell to the ground, unable to dodge at all. Suddenly, a person flew over and blocked the palm with a bang. He flew backward and landed heavily on the ground. He spat out a large mouthful of blood and the ground was dyed red.
Chen Jingchou turned around and was shocked. He shouted,""Master!" Yuwen Tuo was also shocked. He took a step back and said,"" I, I didn't expect someone to rush over…" Chen Jingchou ran back and picked up Chen Fu. He saw that Chen Fu was seriously injured and could no longer speak. Yuwen Tuo also walked over and made up his mind,""I'll say it one last time. Hand over the Kongtong Seal and Shennong Cauldron immediately, or don't blame me for being impolite!”
"Damn it, you!" Chen Jingchou said angrily.……”" Hurry up…" Yuwen Tuo said." Your master's life is in danger. I don't want to waste my time with you here!"”"Alright…but you also know that the Shennong Cauldron is such a big thing. It's impossible for us to carry it with us." Chen Jingchou gritted his teeth. We buried it somewhere else! If you want us to hand it over, fine. Let me take Master away first, and I'll naturally keep my promise and bring it here!”
" Hmph!" Yuwen Tuo said coldly." Do you think I'm a three-year-old kid?" Would you be stupid enough to believe such nonsense?"
"If you want to kill us now, it's up to you, but you can forget about finding those divine artifacts in this lifetime!"”
Yuwen Tuo's heart moved slightly. He said," Alright, I'll accept your conditions…I'll let you go back and get the divine weapon, but…" His sword-like eyebrows raised slightly. He suddenly flew up and snatched it with his right hand. However, it was really as fast as lightning. Chen Jingchou felt a grey shadow flicker. Chen Fu has been kidnapped by Yuwen Tuo. He stood on the spot and placed his right palm on Chen Fu's chest. White fog floated up, and in a moment, Chen Fu was frozen into an ice statue.
"You…What are you doing?" Chen Jingchou asked.”Yuwen Tuo closed his eyes and said," Don't worry. I won't take your master's life for the time being. You must bring me two Primordial Divine Artifacts within three days!" Otherwise, forgive me for being merciless!”Seeing that Chen Fu had been kidnapped, Chen Jingchou had no choice but to agree,""Alright…then it's a deal. But if anything happens to Master within three days, I won't forgive you even if I have to risk my life!”Struggling to stand up, she supported Tuoba Yu 'er and left the camp.
The few of them stumbled into the forest where the horses were tied. Chen Jingchou collapsed on the grass and panted for a while before recovering. He could not believe what had just happened in the camp. "Ah Chou, are you really going to give the two divine weapons to Grand Tutor Yuwen in exchange for your master?" Tuoba Yu 'er asked.”
" If there's really no other way," Chen Jingchou said," we can only do this…That Grand Tutor Yuwen is too strong!" We are far from being his match!"
" To be honest," Tuoba Yu 'er said," I was also very scared just now. I didn't know what to do…Just like when I first met him on the dragon boat…I was in despair…"
"I'm very worried about Master now. How are his injuries?" Chen Jingchou asked.”
" Ah Chou, don't worry," Tuoba Yu 'er said." Senior Grand Tutor Yuwen will not make things difficult for Old Master Chen for the time being in order to make us hand over the divine artifact!"”Chen Jingchou listened and nodded silently.
Yu Xiaoxue thought for a while and said,"Brother Chen, I…I have an idea!"”Chen Jingchou quickly turned around and asked. "Maybe we…we should go back to Celestial Mountain Island and ask Immortal Gu Yue and Old Immortal Ran Weng for help!" Yu Xiaoxue said.”
Chen Jingchou hesitated for a moment." That's a good idea. But…we've already troubled them a lot last time. It won't be convenient if we go again, right?"”
"Ah Chou, I think what Xiaoxue said is right." Tuoba Yu 'er said. -- Going to Celestial Mountain Island for help was better than being helpless here!”Chen Jingchou also felt that there was no better way, so he could only agree. He took out the Pangu Axe and recalled the method Gu Yue had taught him that day. He gestured for a while and said,"Alright!" He gathered all his strength on the axe and slashed forward. Suddenly, a white light flashed, and the three of them felt as if they had fallen into a hole. When he opened his eyes, he was already at the foot of the southern mountain of the Celestial Mountain Island.
The three of them found a path and headed straight for the Beyond the Heavens Village. Only Ah Ru was at home. Chen Jingchou went forward to ask where Gu Yue and Old Man Ran were. A Ru said that Gu Yue had gone to inspect a demonic creature he was guarding and would be back in seven days. Old Ran should be in the chess pavilion. When Chen Jingchou and the others heard this, they hurried over to the chess pavilion. When he finally reached the top of the mountain, he saw Old Ran sitting on a stone table, looking down at a game of chess and deep in thought. Gu Yue must have left him with another mess.
Chen Jingchou walked forward and shouted,"Old Immortal Ran Weng!”However, just as he was deep in thought, he couldn't help but be startled. He raised his head and saw Chen Jingchou and the other two, saying,""Oh, so it's you guys. Welcome back!”He glanced at the wounds on their bodies and smiled."What's wrong with you guys? Did you guys fight?”
"Old Immortal, we're in danger, yet you're still in the mood to joke!" Tuoba Yu 'er said.”
"Oh…what danger?" Ran Weng asked with a smile. Tell me about it…"
"We fought with Grand Tutor Yuwen!" Tuoba Yu 'er said.”
Old Man Ran sat up straight and said in surprise,"So there is such a thing. Tell me the whole story in detail. Let me hear it!"”Chen Jingchou then told him about Yuwen Tuo snatching the divine artifact and Chen Fu being trapped. When Old Man Ran heard this, he stroked his beard and pondered."I see. This is a little troublesome!”
Tuoba Yu 'er said," Old Immortal, I'm afraid only you and Immortal Gu Yue can defeat Grand Tutor Yuwen!" Please help!"
Old Ran smiled and said,"I really don't deserve such praise from you, little girl who loves to cry…" He paused for a moment and said,""It's just that this old man has sealed my sword several hundred years ago and no longer fights with others. " Those who opposed me have long passed away…Immortal Gu Yue is even more so…" When Chen Jingchou and the others heard this, their hearts turned cold and they were extremely disappointed. "Old Immortal…I beg you…please save Teacher Chen's father!" Yu Xiaoxue begged.”Old Man Ran stood up and said,"Hmm…Let me think about it." It's getting late. You guys go back to my house and rest first!”Chen Jingchou and the others thanked him and went back to rest in the old residence.
Early the next morning, Chen Jingchou and the others came to the chess pavilion to find Old Ran. Ranweng asked Chen Jingchou to describe Grand Tutor Yuwen's sword moves. Chen Jingchou's face turned red." That Grand Tutor Yuwen's moves were too fast. I didn't even have time to see clearly before I was knocked down by him." They only knew that he was using a golden heavy sword.”
Old Man Ran twirled his white beard and asked about the shape of the sword. After pondering for a while, he said,""I can't blame you for this. That golden heavy sword is an ancient divine artifact called the Xuanyuan Sword. However, even if the Yuwen servant didn't use it, I'm afraid you wouldn't be able to defeat him!”After pondering for a moment, he said,"I can't defeat that Yuwen servant in a few days, but there are ways to restrain him…".
"What do you mean, Old Immortal?……”
"Although I don't fight with others anymore, it's not that I can't give you some advice…" Old Man Ran said.
"The old immortal wants to teach us kung fu?" Tuoba Yu 'er asked happily.”
Ran Weng shook his head and said," No, I can only increase your original skills. This way, you might be able to resist that Yuwen servant…" He immediately asked Chen Jingchou what moves he had learned, and Chen Jingchou answered them one by one. Old Man Ran said," So you're learning the Ghost Valley Daoist Technique. I've met the creator of this technique once, and I know a little about it…You've just learned the Water and Wood Images. It's impossible for you to learn the Five Images within three days. However, the power of this technique varied from person to person. If some seemingly simple moves could be improved, their power would be limitless!”
Old Man Ran slowly stood up and lifted his wooden cane."" After so many years, I wonder if it's abandoned…" Using the crutch as a sword, he used the Flowing Cloud Slash and suddenly hacked down in the air. It actually had the power of thunder and the power to split mountains and rocks. Suddenly, there was a loud boom, and stone fragments flew everywhere. It actually smashed a thousand-pound boulder beside the chess pavilion into pieces, and the branches and leaves on the tree scattered in all directions. Even the stone table where they were playing chess was shattered by the sword qi. Chen Jingchou and the others hurriedly leaped and dodged, their mouths agape and speechless.
"Oh, no!" said Old Ran. My chess game!" "I'm sorry, I didn't expect it to be so powerful!"”
"Old Immortal…this?" Chen Jingchou asked in surprise.”
" Although you've learned this move, you still haven't comprehended the essence of the Phantom Valley Daoist Technique," Old Man Ran said." The body and spirit are one, and there is no limit to one's strength. The sword has no edge, and it is unstoppable! Anything could be a sword, and any qi could hurt people!”When Chen Jingchou heard this, he was at a loss. Ran Weng said," The sword has a form, but the qi has no form. Since qi is invisible, no matter what move is used, its power will be limitless. This is the highest realm of Phantom Valley's Daoist techniques. There isn't much time left now. What I want to teach you is this invisible Qi cultivation technique! However, it would depend on one's luck to reach a certain level!”
Chen Jing hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed. Old Man Ran said," This Ghost Valley Taoist Technique is an extremely powerful martial art. To practice it to the point of gathering the five qi into a move, it's fast, but it also depends on one's comprehension.”
"Old Immortal, what will you teach me?" Tuoba Yu 'er asked.”
Ran Weng smiled and said,"Little girl, you're always so impatient…" After pondering for a while, he said,"This Phantom Valley Daoist technique focuses on the complementation of the number of images in order to unleash its power." How about this, since Little Brother Chen has already learned the Water and Wood Elephant Technique, I will teach you the Fire Elephant Technique and a few moves of the Wood Elephant Technique! You and Little Brother Chen complement each other and can be considered to be working together. You might be able to resist that Yuwen servant!”But he didn't mention anything to Snowy.
"Thank you, Old Immortal!" Tuoba Yu 'er said happily.”
"What about Xiaoxue?" Chen Jingchou asked. "Immortal Gu Yue has already awakened the power in her body. You don't have to worry, you'll know in the future…" Yu Xiaoxue said."Brother Chen, Sister Tuoba, don't worry about me…It's more important to quickly learn martial arts and save the old master!”Chen Jingchou agreed and walked over to Old Ran with Tuoba Yu 'er. Old Man Ran asked Chen Jingchou to recite the Fire and Wood Elephant incantation to Tuoba Yu 'er. After Tuoba Yu' er had memorized it without missing a single word, he added a few more sentences. Even Chen Jingchou had never heard of those words.
Old Ran began to explain. After a few hours, Tuoba Yu 'er had already comprehended 70%. When Chen Jingchou heard this, he understood what he didn't understand. "Alright, next." I'll teach you how to use it separately!”He asked Tuoba Yu 'er to recite the incantation in detail in her mind, then called Chen Jingchou to the side and explained the gist of the Phantom Valley Daoist technique to him. After a while, he called Tuoba Yu 'er over and taught her the specific moves. Tuoba Yu 'er stood still and heard Old Ran say,""The Fire Elephant of the Ghost Valley is divided into eight moves. Grand Qi, Fire Feather Cut, Star Fire in the Sky, Red Phoenix Armor Removal, Heavenly Rainbow Murmuring, Vermilion Bird Wings, Bodhi Brahma, Nine Tribulations Nirvana.”He also taught the methods of each move. Tuoba Yu 'er remembered this in her heart.
" That Wood Elephant Technique is a move that Little Brother Chen knows," Ran Weng said." You don't have to learn it anymore. Otherwise, you won't be able to achieve the goal of the Five Symbols mutually reinforcing and countering each other." I'll teach you the other three moves, Wind Manipulation, Five Poison Curse, and Star-Picking Rage!”Tuoba Yu 'er noted it down and bowed to thank him. Chen Jingchou was surprised and thought, Why hasn't even Master mentioned these moves?”Rang Weng and Rang Weng practiced on their own while he sat at the side and constantly gave pointers. Chen Jingqiu received guidance from Ranweng and his progress was extremely fast. In just a few minutes, the power of the moves he was familiar with had increased significantly. Tuoba Yu 'er had also learned the Starfire in the Sky.
That night, everyone went back to their old residence to rest. The next day, they went to the chess pavilion. However, the old man taught Chen Jingqiu the art of condensing qi. Chen Jingchou had practiced it before, so his foundation was quite good. With Ranweng explaining it to him, his strength increased even more. He sat on the ground and practiced according to the law. In a moment, he felt the blood in his chest churn as if it was about to explode. However, Tuoba Yu 'er originally learned a different kind of kung fu. Now that she had changed to the Ghost Valley Taoist Technique, she felt that the deeper she learned, the more complicated the moves were. There were mistakes everywhere, so her progress was very slow. Although Ran Weng was guiding her, she only learned one move after practicing for a day. In the evening, Chen Jingchou's sword already had an invisible aura. He swung his sword and was able to knock down the small tree. He was delighted. " Yes," Old Ran said." You've only cultivated for three days. Your progress is fast. If the two of you work together, you might be able to resist Grand Tutor Yuwen for a moment…But to save Teacher Chen's father, it will be difficult!"”When Chen Jingchou heard this, he lowered his head in silence.
That night, he returned to Old Ran's residence. Old Ran took out two ancient swords and handed them to the two of them. He said," These are the two swords I obtained when I was young. Your cultivation is still shallow, so perhaps I can help you. When you have a certain foundation in the Ghost Valley technique in the future, you won't need these things anymore!"”Chen Jingchou and Tuoba Yu 'er thanked him. They looked at the swords. One had the words " Tai Ah " carved on it, while the other had the words " Gongbu " carved on it. He saw a faint green aura and a cold light. The patterns were gorgeous. They were both good swords.
After Chen Jingchou finished his dinner, he went to the chess pavilion alone and practiced the Ghost Valley Daoist technique a few times. Thinking about how he was going to see Yuwen Tuo tomorrow, he couldn't help but put down his long sword. He stood alone on the cliff and was secretly worried. The sky was filled with stars and moon, and the earth was white. "Brother Chen!" someone shouted behind him.”Chen Jingchou turned around and saw Yu Xiaoxue with Tuoba Yu 'er standing beside her. "Ah Chou, so you're here!" Tuoba Yu 'er took a step forward and said.”
"How did you find this place?" Chen Jingchou asked.”
Tuoba Yu 'er said,"I think you're in a bad mood. You should be thinking about something here."”
" I'm worried about what will happen tomorrow," Chen Jingchou said." Although we've learned so much, we're still far from Grand Tutor Yuwen."
" What if we can't save the old master?" Tuoba Yu 'er asked." Have you decided to give the two divine weapons to Grand Tutor Yuwen?"”
" That divine cauldron belongs to you, Sister Yu 'er," Chen Jingchou said hesitantly." You also have to return the Kongtong Seal to the Di people…I…I really don't know what to do!"”
Tuoba Yu 'er said," Look at how vexed you are…You can give the Shennong Cauldron and Kongtong Seal to Grand Tutor Yuwen first!"”
"How…how can this be…" Chen Jingchou said.
Tuoba Yu 'er said," Ah Chou, I owe you too much…I've lost the Divine Cauldron, but I can still get it back in the future. It's the same for the Kongtong Seal. However, if the old master passes away, you'll be separated from him forever!" We won't have the chance to meet again!"
"But…" Chen Jingchou said.
"Ah Chou, don't think too much…We'll take them to exchange for our old master tomorrow!" Tuoba Yu 'er said.”
Yu Xiaoxue also advised,"Brother Chen…Sister Yu 'er has agreed. You should accept her kindness!"”Chen Jingchou agreed with tears in his eyes.
The next day, Chen Jing and Chou Tian got up before daybreak. They put on their clothes, picked up their swords, and left without saying goodbye. They headed to the southern end of Celestial Mountain Island alone. When the sun rose, he found the space-time node and took out the Pangu Axe. Suddenly, he heard two people behind him shout,"Ah Chou! Brother Chen!" Chen Jingchou turned around and saw Tuoba Yu 'er and Yu Xiaoxue rushing over. When he reached his side. "Ah Chou, what are you doing?" Tuoba Yu 'er asked.”
"Xiaoxue, Sister Yu 'er…don't go!" Chen Jingchou said.”
"Why?" Yu Xiaoxue asked. Brother Chen!"
" What if this is a trap?" Chen Jingchou said." Grand Tutor Yuwen will definitely kill Master and me after he gets the divine weapon!" This is just my personal matter. I will bear it myself! I…I don't want to drag you all to your deaths!”
Tuoba Yu 'er said,"No, Ah Chou, we have to go with you!" Even if we can't leave here alive today, we'll die together!”"Yes, Brother Chen, have you forgotten our oath?" Yu Xiaoxue said. Didn't you say that we would be together forever?”Chen Jingchou hesitated, not knowing how to answer. " Ah Chou," Tuoba Yu 'er said," We can only escape if we deal with Grand Tutor Yuwen together…Moreover, I will not let you die alone!"”"Alright!" Chen Jingchou gritted his teeth and said. Then let's set off! Let's work together to save Master and then fight our way out!”
Chen Jingchou wielded the Pangu Axe. The three of them only saw a flash of white light. They passed through the space-time node and arrived outside the Sui army's camp. Chen Jingchou and the others walked in from the main gate with their heads held high, all the way to the central army tent. Yuwen Tuo was already waiting there. Chen Fu lay beside him, still frozen. Yuwen Tuo raised his head and asked with a proud expression,""Where's the Primordial Divine Artifact?"
"I brought them here as promised," Chen Jingchou said."You can check them yourself!”He took out the divine artifact from the Lianyao Flask and placed it on the ground. Yuwen Tuo took a few steps forward, took a look, and nodded slightly.
" I've already fulfilled my promise and handed over the divine artifact," Chen Jingchou said." Please keep your promise and return Master to me!"”His right hand gripped the hilt of his sword. With the divine weapon in his hand, Yuwen Tuo's expression softened and he said,""Alright, since you've kept your promise and didn't play any tricks, I'll keep my promise and return your master to you.”Chen Jingchou, Tuoba Yu 'er, and the others looked at each other. They did not expect Yuwen Tuo to agree so readily. They did not believe it and focused their attention, afraid that Yuwen Tuo would suddenly play tricks and plot against them. However, Yuwen Tuo turned around and walked to Chen Fu. He placed his hand on Chen Fu's chest. After a meal, the cold air disappeared. Chen Fu's chest could already be faintly seen heaving up and down. Yuwen Tuo retracted his hands and said," Your master's injuries are serious, but I've already treated him briefly. His life is safe."”"Alright…If there's nothing else, you can take him away!"”
Tuoba Yu 'er stepped forward and said,"Grand Tutor Yuwen, you didn't do anything, did you?"”
"Tampered?" Yuwen Tuo was stunned.……Ridiculous---I've always done things openly and aboveboard, how could I do such a dirty thing?”
Tuoba Yu 'er still had to say. "I admire your courage…That's why I can't bear to hurt you." Yuwen Tuo suddenly said seriously. However, if you continue to be enemies with me in the future, I will not let you off easily next time!”He turned around.
Chen Jingchou ran to Chen Fu's side and saw that his breathing was calm. He couldn't help but feel slightly surprised. He thought that this was not a place to stay for long. He quickly carried Chen Fu on his back and made a gesture. He left the military camp with Tuoba Yu 'er and Yu Xiaoxue. Chen Jingchou ran to the forest beside the camp. He was puzzled. He carefully placed Chen Fu on the grass and carefully examined his injuries. The injuries on Chen Fu's body had already mostly healed. Although he was still unconscious, he was indeed fine. Thinking back to the scene that day, even if Yuwen Tuo's palm had hit him, he would have been severely injured. His master was an old man. How could he have survived until today after taking that palm strike? Chen Jingchou couldn't understand what was going on and secretly tried to guess Grand Tutor Yuwen's character. After everyone rested for a while, Tuoba Yu 'er found a horse and brought it over. Chen Jingchou carried Chen Fu and the two of them rode on a horse. Tuoba Yu 'er and Yu Xiaoxue also mounted their horses. Everyone headed north together.
After a night of traveling, they arrived at Baling (Yue Yang) in the early morning. Chen Jingchou found an inn and settled Chen Fu down. He hurriedly went to the street to invite a doctor to the inn to treat Chen Fu. The doctor took her pulse and wrote a prescription. Chen Jingchou grabbed the medicine and boiled it for his master to drink. Only then did Chen Fu fall into a deep sleep. As they walked out of the room, Tuoba Yu 'er asked,""Is Old Master alright?"
"Master is currently weak. The doctor said that he needs to recuperate for a period of time."”
"It's good that Old Master is fine…" Tuoba Yu 'er said after a while."Ah Chou, to be honest…I still feel like I'm dreaming that we were able to come out safely!”
" Yes…" Chen Jingchou nodded." I really don't understand. What kind of person is Grand Tutor Yuwen?"”
The few of them took good care of Chen Fu. Unexpectedly, after more than ten days, Chen Fu's body gradually recovered. On this afternoon, Chen Jingchou went out alone to stroll around. He looked at the vast Dongting Lake and toured the scenic spots and historical sites. He stayed for half a day, reluctant to part with it, and only returned at night. As soon as he entered the inn, Yu Xiaoxue hurriedly came out and said,"Not good, not good, Brother Chen!”
"Little Xue, what's the matter?" Chen Jingchou asked, not understanding what was going on.”
"The old master is throwing a tantrum in the room…Sister Yu 'er and I can't handle it anymore. Go and persuade him!" Yu Xiaoxue said.”When Chen Jingchou heard this, he quickly went upstairs with Yu Xiaoxue. Before they entered the house, they heard Chen Fu shout,""Preposterous! Bastard, how preposterous!"
Chen Jingchou opened the door and entered. He saw Chen Fu standing in front of the window sill, pacing back and forth with his hands behind his back. Tuoba Yu 'er stood at the side, not knowing what to do. "Master…why are you up?" Chen Jingchou asked. Your body hasn't recovered yet. Lie down quickly!"
Chen Fu turned around and said,"Hmph!" I just got up and was almost angered to death by you, you traitorous disciple!”"Let me ask you, where are our Shennong Cauldron and Kongtong Seal?"”"They…Disciple…" Chen Jingchou stammered.
"Say it!" Chen Fu said angrily. Tell me, where did you take them?”
"Master…they…they are already in Grand Tutor Yuwen's hands!" Chen Jingchou lowered his head.”
Chen Fu was so angry that his face turned yellow." Preposterous! I even heard that you were respectful and personally presented it to Yang…Yuwen Tuo!" Isn't that right?"
"Grand Tutor Yuwen threatened Master with your life, so I had no choice…" Chen Jingchou said.
"Bastard…How many times have I told you?" Chen Fu shouted. Why don't you listen?" "You are a descendant of the Great Chen Imperial Family. Nothing is more important than your great cause of restoring the country!" As long as I can restore the country, even sacrificing my life is not a pity!”Chen Jingchou's eyes reddened as he hurriedly knelt down.
" You're right!" Chen Fu took a breath and said," The reason why I took Yuwen Tuo's palm for you was to give you a chance to take the divine artifact away…But you, this vile disciple, have really wasted all my efforts!"”
"This disciple knows his mistake…Master, please calm down. Don't hurt your body!" Chen Jingchou said with tears in his eyes.”
Chen Fu turned around and said,"Get lost!" I don't want to see you again!"
"Master…" Chen Jingchou cried.
"Get lost, get lost…" Chen Fu shouted.
Tuoba Yu 'er walked over and comforted him,"" Ah Chou, the old master is still in a fit of anger. Let's go out first. We'll come in to explain when he's less angry…" Chen Jingchou had no choice but to leave the room with Tuoba Yu 'er and Yu Xiaoxue.
That night, Chen Jingchou's heart was in turmoil and he could not sleep. He climbed up alone and walked to the railing. Facing the cold moon and the stars, he felt a chill in his bones. He was at a loss and did not know if what he had done was right or wrong.
