After a while of banter about water and wine, Yang Guo sat at the dining table and ate breakfast while continuing to chat with the men next to him about the Ancient Tomb Sect's Xiao Longnu's marriage contest.
Just as Yang Guo had thought, Li Mochou had spread this rumor in hopes that Xiao Longnu would suffer.
Two months ago, Li Mochou had fought a bitter battle with Ke Zhenge, Wu Santong, and Wu Sanniang. He had only won with the Ice Spirit Silver Needles. After that, she was forced by Huang Yaoshi to the point where she could not fight back. In the end, she had to sneak attack Cheng Ying with the Ice Spirit Silver Needle to escape.
Therefore, she was very unwilling to accept this. She thought of the powerful martial arts of Ancient Tomb Sect, the Jade Girl Heart Sutra. She could have practiced the Jade Maiden Heart Sutra, but because of Lu Zhanyuan, she was expelled from the sect.
Li Mochou's master had been severely injured and killed by Ouyang Feng a few years ago. Now, Li Mochou's junior sister Xiao Longnu was the sect master. Therefore, Li Mochou planned to go back and snatch the Jade Maiden Heart Sutra. However, Xiao Longnu used the traps in the ancient tomb to chase her out several times.
Li Mochou had thought of this method. It was to disrupt Xiao Longnu's life and seize the opportunity to snatch the Jade Maiden Heart Sutra.
……
Breakfast was finally finished.
I bid farewell to my brothers and left the inn, heading towards Mount Zhongnan.
It wasn't that I was interested in Xiao Longnu's beauty or the treasures in the ancient tomb. I just wanted to watch the show. Moreover, the few big brothers in the inn had also said that Mount Zhongnan was a land of spiritual mountains and beautiful rivers. Anyway, I want to tour the mountains and rivers, so I might as well take this opportunity to enjoy the beautiful scenery and liveliness.
The distance from Jiaxing in Zhejiang Province to Zhongnan Mountain in Shaanxi Province was two to three thousand miles. However, for someone like me who already knows some qinggong, it would only take me a month to travel during the day and sleep in the wilderness at night. There should still be time for the excitement of Mount Zhongnan.
Even if I didn't ask for directions, I knew where Mount Zhongnan was. Wasn't it said that many people in the martial arts world were rushing to Mount Zhongnan? The direction of Mount Zhongnan was the one with the most horse tracks and footprints. Although there might be some mistakes, the general direction could not be wrong!
I followed the main road and practiced my qinggong. As expected, my qinggong is still not good. It's too slow, and my dodging skills are also not good. Although my profound internal strength allowed me to not dodge the enemy's attacks, I still felt silly if I stood still and got hit. If my opponent is like Uncle Guo and keeps pestering me, I won't be able to get rid of him. Wouldn't I be annoyed to death?
I tried many methods during the one month journey, but I couldn't find a suitable qinggong method for myself. I could only let nature take its course. The opportunity had yet to arrive! Of course, I didn't forget myself and think about how to use my qinggong. Otherwise, with the operation of the Heavenly Dao, my qinggong would have been completed by itself.
Now, it is already October and late autumn. The further north I go, the colder I feel. Fortunately, the Nine Yang True Qi is constantly circulating in my body to ward off the cold.
Today, I finally arrived at the foot of Zhongnan Mountain.
……
Although Yang Guo couldn't comprehend the Qinggong that suited him, he still managed to reach Mount Zhongnan.
He first took off the gourd and drank a mouthful of water before looking at the towering mountains of Mount Zhongnan. Even in late autumn, they were still green. The distant peaks were even higher into the clouds, and the peaks were covered in white snow.
He didn't look at it carefully. He couldn't see the essence of it just by looking at the surface. Only after entering it did one realize the precious quality of the trees that stood tall and straight.
Yang Guo walked along the mountain path and walked up to the hill. He saw a small temple on the flat ground in front of him.
He walked closer. The temple was already a little dilapidated. It must be an abandoned temple. The plaque above the temple gate was already covered in dust, and the words " Puguang Temple " could still be seen vaguely in the spider web.
When he looked again, he saw a few monks cooking in Puguang Temple. A handsome young man was sitting at the side with a fan in his hand. Beside him stood a thin Tibetan monk, surrounded by a group of warriors dressed in Mongolian clothes, with long knives and broad axes. On the side was another group of martial artists dressed in Han Chinese attire.?
Yang Guo did not hide his whereabouts and walked in directly.
"Big brothers, can I borrow an inch of land to rest? I won't disturb you!" Yang Guo asked kindly.
"If you want to rest, then rest. Why are you so noisy?”a Mongolian warrior said.
"Don't be rude. This little brother is still young, but he's alone outside. Be polite to him." The pretty young master also said gently.
"Thank you!" Yang Guo cupped his hands in thanks and found an empty space to sit down.
He untied his bag and took out a few sesame seed cakes to eat. These sesame seed cakes were newly bought at the foot of the mountain. The ones made by Huang Rong had already been eaten. He tidied up his bag, slung it over his shoulder, untied the gourd, and took a sip of water.
After drinking the water, he realized that the monks were not cooking vegetables, but meat!
"Masters, I thought monks don't kill?" he asked.”
"We're monks of wine and meat. It's none of your business!”One of the monks said and ignored him.
Yang Guo only asked and did not probe further. After all, there were many wine and meat monks in the martial arts world.
"Little brother, why are you here at Zhongnan Mountain at such a young age?”
"Then what are you here for?”Yang Guo asked.
"Of course, we're here to sightsee!”The pretty young master said.
"You don't even know how to lie! Who in the martial world didn't know that Xiao Longnu, the leader of the Ancient Tomb Sect of Mount Zhongnan, was eighteen years old and was having a martial arts competition to find a spouse? You must be here to be the son-in-law, right?”Yang Guo smiled.
"Little brother, are you also here for the spouse finding martial competition?”The pretty young master asked with a smile.
"Why? Can't I?" Yang Guo smiled.
"You're so young. Do you know that? You'd better wait a few years before you talk about this!”A Han man suddenly laughed at Yang Guo.
"Of course I don't understand, and I'm not interested in understanding! I came here to watch the show and see what Xiao Longnu looks like. I also want to visit Mount Zhongnan. My goal is different from yours!" Yang Guo spoke the truth, his last sentence filled with mockery.
These people were indeed smart people. They could hear Yang Guo's mockery, but they were unwilling to fight with a thirteen or fourteen-year-old child.
"Patrons, the meat soup is ready!”Tyrant suddenly said.
"Alright, this is for you!" The handsome young master took out a few taels of silver and gave it to the monk. The monk happily walked to the back of the temple to divide the money.
The Mongolians and Han people drank the meat soup together.
"So they're all in cahoots!" Yang Guo thought to himself, but he didn't say it out loud. He just looked up at the Buddha statue covered in cobwebs and dust.
