"I am on the south side of Wu Mountain, on the high hill. In the morning it is morning clouds, and in the evening it is rain. Day and night, under the balcony." Song Yu, Gaotang Fu
Wushan Mountain was located on both sides of the Wu Gorge of the Yangtze River. From afar, one could only see the mountains stretching out, surrounded by the flowing river water. The smoke was lingering, beautiful and mysterious. The twelve peaks of Wushan Mountain have always been famous for their deep beauty. The twelve peaks are Denglong Peak, Shengquan Peak, Chaoyun Peak, Goddess Peak, Pine Peak, Jixian Peak, Jingtan Peak, Qiyun Peak, Feifeng Peak, Ascending Peak, Cuiping Peak and Juhe Peak.
When people in Jianghu mentioned the Palace of Goddess on Wushan Mountain, they all yearned for it. Some people would think of the beautiful words written in Gaotang Fu, some would think of the ancient legend of Yaoji and the other twelve fairies turning into the twelve peaks of Wushan Mountain, but more people would think of the beautiful fairies in the Palace of Goddess on Wushan Mountain.
Because the Palace of Goddess never accepted male disciples, it was said that the people in the Palace of Goddess were all extremely beautiful young women. They were naturally the targets that the people in the martial world liked to chase after.
More than ten years ago, a wandering Taoist priest in Jianghu wrote a " Heavenly Fragrance List " to select the most beautiful beauties in Jianghu. They were ranked according to their beauty and skills. Ten people were selected in total. At that time, the three Palace Masters of the Palace of Goddess were on the list. At that time, the twelve peaks of Wushan Mountain were almost trampled by the frivolous wanderers in Jianghu.
Of course, the Goddess Palace was within the Goddess Peak. In fact, the Goddess Palace was only a small sect with few people. Not all of them were beautiful, and it wasn't that they didn't accept male disciples. There were three Palace Masters in the Goddess Palace, and all three of them had the friendship of Jin Lan. The First Palace Master was Fairy Jing Hong, Zhao Ziyan, and the Second Palace Master was Fairy Yaoji, Zhao Yumei. The two of them were siblings. The Third Palace Master was Fairy Yunmeng, Su Qianxue, who was once the junior sister of the Zhao sisters. She had married into the Sunset Horse Farm in the north of the Great Wall a few years ago.
The martial arts of the Palace of Goddess was a unique school in the martial arts world. The Lightness Skill, Wind and Rain, was the best in the martial arts world. The Star-moon Sword Technique was unique, and the Internal Strength, Bright Jade Mantra, was a different path. The disciples of the Palace of Goddess rarely revealed their origins when they traveled in Jianghu, but there were always some people with discerning eyes who could guess their origins from the martial arts they displayed.
Among the twelve peaks of Mount Wu, some places were still barren and only birds and beasts lived there.
Looking up, the clouds sealed the sky, and the goshawk returned to the clouds. It was peaceful and serene under the sky.
Looking down at Qianxun Foothill Valley, the fog locked the stream and shrouded the gloomy forest. No one knew what mysteries of heaven and earth were hidden in this mysterious place.
The mountain was filled with apes and monkeys. The five-foot-tall Great Green Monkey was even more terrifying than tigers and leopards when it fought with its life. When it showed its might, it would tear people into pieces. However, its greatest enemy was not humans, but tigers and leopards, as well as pythons that were thirty to forty feet long and small Cloud Leopards. Here, people were very fragile.
In this valley surrounded by strange peaks, strange rocks were towering, forests covered the sky, and clouds and fog often surrounded it. The small mountain stream formed a deep pool among the rocks, where the beasts gathered. Flocks of roe deer were scattered in the dozens of miles of forest. Even the golden eagles, forest eagles, and vultures that soared among the peaks used this green pond, which was about seven miles long and four miles wide, as the center. They hunted fiercely for birds, small roe deer, small rabbits, snakes, and even small Qiang and young deer. The ferocious beasts even treated this area as their hunting ground and breeding area.
No idiot would abandon the world of flowers and come to such a deserted place. There were hunters on these mountains, but the hunting area did not dare to extend to the wilderness. The strange beasts there were not something that ordinary hunters could deal with. Even a small beast could be fatal.
However, nothing in the world was impossible. The wilderness was not suitable for human life, but it did not mean that human beings had never been involved in it. Therefore, all kinds of strange myths, wonders, strange stories, and fantasies were spread in the world.
This place was a mysterious desolate area of death, a place where people dreamed and yearned to be a paradise for immortals. It was also a target that attracted the attention and curiosity of some adventurers.
Midafternoon was not the time for wild beasts to hunt.
At this moment, in a valley on Cuiping Peak, a young man was half-squatting and half-standing on a big tree. He had a jade-like face, long eyebrows, and was eight feet tall. His expression was a little impatient, and a one-foot-long dagger was tied to his waist. He often pretended to jump down.
There was a pool not far away from the tree. On the cliff beside the pool, there was a container made of rattan woven into a grid the size of a fist. There were seven stalagmite-shaped felts firmly in the net, each weighing at least 20 pounds.
The young man on the tree mumbled," Bad Uncle-Master. He taught me to carry stones like this to practice my lightness skills. Now, I'm fine. I've been bullied by these little bastards…"
The three-headed leopard cubs were using the rattan backpack as a toy. They were biting, pulling, scratching, and chasing each other. They were playing happily and never tired of it.
In addition, there was also a six-foot-long, sinister and powerful female leopard that was walking back and forth nearby. From time to time, it would let out a low roar of warning. From time to time, it would rush to a few giant trees that were more than ten meters thick not far away at lightning speed, letting out a terrifying roar. It even rushed to the bottom of the branches that were about thirty feet thick. It was only when it was sure that it could not go up that it fell down in a sorry state.
The young man on the tree suddenly shouted,""Zhao Yumei, is this how you teach your disciple?”
The female leopard had never seen a human before, so she probably thought he was an ape. Apes and monkeys were naturally the snacks of tigers and leopards. This female leopard did not see him, a hairless ape, as a threat at all, but she could not drive him out of her sphere of influence. Therefore, she was quite unhappy. After repeatedly demonstrating her power to no avail, she often went wild to protect her cubs from threats.
"Let go of my backpack and stop biting!”The young man shouted at the three-headed leopard who was biting his backpack, gnashing his teeth and waving his big fist to show his power.
The female leopard roared and rushed down the tree. Her momentum was like thunder, and she jumped thirty feet with her claws bared. Her speed was unparalleled. The young man had just jumped down when he hurriedly jumped up again. He placed his hand on the tree trunk and rose up to the four-foot-high horizontal branch. The female leopard rushed up and leaped, only reaching twenty feet. Its four claws moved at the same time, and the bark flew everywhere. It rose nearly ten feet again, and finally fell down. Its soft body rolled around, but it was not injured at all. It raised its head and roared.
The young man on the tree shouted,"If you didn't have three children, I, Xu Zhutao, would have killed you."”
It was terrible. Two vines seemed to have been bitten off. The thin end of a stalagmite had already slipped halfway out of the grid. Xu Zhutao was anxious. He suddenly fell diagonally, fast and urgent like a meteor falling to the ground. His feet touched the ground and his body rose again.
When the female leopard noticed him coming down, she lunged at Xu Zhutao.
Xu Zhutao was much faster than the female leopard. He kicked away a leopard cub and slapped the other cub ten feet away. He picked up the bag and the stalagmites that had scattered. He ran towards the pool. It was more important to escape. With a bang, he jumped into the pool.
He was almost caught up by the female leopard during this delay. Carrying a heavy object that was almost as heavy as his weight, his speed of escape was not much slower. Moreover, he could even jump. It was obvious how astonishing his energy, elasticity, and explosive strength of his muscles were.
The mother leopard didn't want to rest and jumped into the water.
Xu Zhutao dived into the water and only emerged when he was fifty to sixty feet out of the water. Seeing that the female leopard had obediently swam back to the pool, he shouted,"Come and chase me, I'll skin you alive!”He was carrying a weight of more than 140 pounds, but he could still expose half of his chest above the water. It was obvious that his water treading skills were very advanced.
The female leopard by the pond let out a roar, baring her fangs and brandishing her claws, showing an irreconcilable stance.
Xu Zhutao and the mother leopard roared at each other for a while, but he couldn't scare the mother leopard away. He could only obediently swim to the pond not far away. The surface of the pond drew a herringbone wave, and his speed was like a big fish. He broke through the water and swam at an extremely fast speed.
On this day, Xu Zhutao carried the stalagmite on his back and ran over the peaks of Wu Mountain. He was so tired that his back was sore. At night, he returned to the Goddess Palace to eat, took a shower, and fell asleep. He heard that Zhao Ziyan might test his martial arts, so he did not dare to slack off.
"Ah!" Xu Zhutao woke up from his sleep. He heard a woman's sad cry coming from the dark bedroom. He was so shocked that his entire body was trembling. Cold sweat had already drenched his clothes. He reached out to wipe his forehead and found that it was terrifyingly cold. His face was tightly bound, as if the blood had stopped flowing. He stared at the ceiling of the bed in a daze. He could not see anything clearly. The endless darkness seemed to want to devour him. After a long while, he felt that there was another place that was especially cold besides his face. He reached out and touched his crotch. As expected…
He hurriedly got out of bed and went to the closet in the corner to get a set of clothes to change into. Then, he walked out of the room and saw that the light in his Uncle-Master's bedroom was still on. A faint candlelight was shining through the window.
"It's already so late, is Martial Uncle still not asleep?”
The doubt in his heart flashed past before he walked out of the hall. He saw the stars and the moon in the sky, and he could only vaguely make out the outline of the peaks of Mount Wu. The cold wind of late spring blew, and Xu Zhutao couldn't help but shiver. He suddenly remembered the dream he had just had. The first half of the dream couldn't be remembered no matter how hard he tried. He could only remember that at the end…he knelt in front of a woman and said something. Suddenly, he pulled out the sword at his waist and stabbed it into his chest. The long sword pierced through his chest, and scarlet blood flowed out from the front and back of the wound. Then, he fell to the ground with a thud…
"Why…why…why would I have such a dream?“
" Also, in the dream…who was that woman?”
"Why…why did I commit suicide?”
"Could it be…Could it be that I violated the sect rules and Master wants to execute me?!……”
There was a small square outside the main hall of the Goddess Palace. There was a flat land on both sides of the square. There were peach trees planted there. The flowers were in full bloom, and there were stone tables and stools under the peach trees.
Xu Zhutao walked to the peach tree and stood quietly. He felt that his mind was in a mess. He could not remember what the woman in the dream looked like, nor could he remember what he said to her. He slapped his forehead twice, but he still couldn't remember.
"Brat, did you take the wrong medicine? Suddenly, a crisp and pleasant voice came from behind." If you feel tired of living, I might as well give you two more palms!”
Xu Zhutao turned his head and saw a beautiful woman walking over. She had a slender waist, long hair, a fair complexion, eyebrows like spring mountains, eyes like stars, and two cherry lips.
She was only wearing a white gauze dress that was as thin as a cicada's wing. The red undergarment and short pants were vaguely visible. The thin gauze on her chest was pushed up high, and her breasts seemed to be about to tear apart. When she walked, her breasts were slightly undulating. Her two long, round, and snow-white legs swayed in her gauze dress. Her snow-white neck, round arms, and a pair of slender and round thighs exuded an alluring charm.
Xu Zhutao couldn't take his eyes off her. He took a deep breath to suppress the desire that was rushing toward her. He gulped.
Suddenly, a slender hand reached over and grabbed his ear.
"Where are you looking at?" The beautiful woman scolded. You little bastard, do you believe that I will dig out your eyeballs?”
"Martial…Martial Uncle, aren't you asleep?" Xu Zhutao asked.”
This woman was Xu Zhutao's martial uncle, Zhao Yumei, the Second Palace Master of the Goddess Palace of Wushan Mountain. She was a famous beauty on the Heavenly Fragrance List more than ten years ago. People in Jianghu called her Fairy Yaoji. At the age of thirty-four, she looked like a twenty-nine-year-old girl. She was fierce and hated evil. She often killed people while chatting and laughing. Countless disciples in Jianghu had fallen into her hands.
Zhao Yu frowned." Hmph, I was sleeping well. I don't know which bastard woke me up in the middle of the night."”As she spoke, she twisted his right ear forcefully.
"Aiyo…Zhao Yumei, be gentle!" Xu Zhutao said.”
"You little bastard!" Zhao Yu frowned. How dare you call me by my name? Are you courting death?”She increased the strength in her hands.
"Uncle-Master, I know I was wrong. Please let me go, Uncle-Master."”
"If you want me to let go, you'd better give me a satisfactory reason," Zhao Yu said.”She still didn't let go of her ear.
"Uncle-Master, I had a nightmare. I was killed."”
"You're already an adult this year, and this is all you've got?" Zhao Yu asked. A nightmare can scare you like this.”She finally let go of his ears.
Xu Zhutao let out a long sigh and said," Martial Uncle, the nightmare isn't scary. It's just that I'm the one who killed me…"
"Such a strange dream, it's really interesting!" Zhao Yu said.”
"Sigh, looks like I really was picked up!" Xu Zhutao mumbled.”
Zhao Yu frowned." What are you talking about? Sit down over there. I have something to tell you."”
Xu Zhutao was the first to walk to the stone table not far away. However, he tripped over a stone and was about to fall to the ground. Suddenly, a fragrant smell entered his nose. Zhao Yu had already reached out to hug him, not letting him fall. He quickly stood up, but he felt two soft things pressing down on his back. It was very uncomfortable, and he couldn't help but feel restless. Just as he was about to hug Zhao Yumei's slender waist, Zhao Yumei let go of him.
"Don't mess around!" Zhao Yu frowned. As she spoke, she pulled him to the stone table and sat down.
" Uncle…Zhao," Xu Zhutao said," your qinggong is too tiring. It's making my back sore. Why don't you give me a massage?"”
"Okay, come closer, I'll loosen your bones." Zhao Yu said.”
Xu Zhutao turned his back to her. Zhao Yumei raised his leg and kicked him, sending him flying twenty feet away. Fortunately, he was good at Qinggong, so he steadied himself halfway and didn't fall.
He patted his butt and walked back to sit down, muttering,""The legend of Martial Uncle is fierce and vicious.”
Zhao Yu smiled and said,"Your eyes are not straight. This is a lesson for you."”
Xu Zhutao said," Uncle-Master, how can you blame me for dressing like this? Besides, you're a great beauty on the Heavenly Fragrance List. If I don't look at you, I'll be disrespectful to you."”
"Don't talk nonsense. I want to tell you something about Jianghu," Zhao Yu said.”
"Then, I want to hear the story of how Martial Uncle killed the four tyrants with a single sword, and how he defeated the two heroes with a single sword."”
"Didn't you hear what Su Ya told you?" Zhao Yu asked.”
"That girl didn't elaborate," Xu Zhutao said."I didn't like listening to her. It's better for you to tell her."”
"Alright, then I'll tell you in detail." Zhao Yu frowned.”
