Lan Yiming is dead, and the leaders of various factions strongly recommend Yang Rourou to take over as the leader of the martial arts alliance. The Tianlong sect is the largest sect in the world, and no one in the world's martial arts dissatisfaction orders. Yang Rourou is Lan Yiming's wife, and it is natural to take over her husband's unfinished business. Secondly, Yang Rourou comes from a martial arts family, her martial arts skills are not inferior to Lan Yiming's, and her martial arts skills are enough to convince the masters of various sects.
Three days after Lan Yiming was buried, heroes from various factions bid farewell to Yang Rourou one after another.
In front of the mountain gate, Lan Tian and Lan Ling'er stood beside their mother, watching the groups of masters from various sects saying goodbye and going down the mountain. They couldn't help but have mixed feelings. They didn't know what kind of ups and downs Tianlong Mountain would usher in in the future? How can the great revenge of father Lan Yiming be avenged? All of this is like the clouds and mist in Tianlong Mountain, unpredictable and elusive.
Lingyazi was not seriously injured. After two days of recuperation, he was basically able to move around. The fourth protector Yunshan was careful and specially ordered his subordinates to bring in a healthy donkey for Lingyazi to sit on, so as not to be tired from walking in the mountains and detrimental to his recovery. Lingshanzi I was very grateful and thanked Yang Rourou and Yunshan repeatedly before leaving.
After all the heroes left, Tianlong Mountain returned to its former tranquility. Yang Rourou recruited the four guardians and the four sub-helms to discuss important matters in the faction. Zhu Yu, Lan Tian and Lan Ling'er also attended the meeting. Yang Rourou asked each branch to pay attention to the officers and soldiers at all times. trends and report to the headquarters in a timely manner.
At this time, Zhu Yu just knew that the four branches of Tianlong Sect were Changzhou Branch, Liangzhou Branch, Yizhou Branch and Youzhou Branch, which were located in the east, west, north and south of Tianlong Mountain. The four branches are also four escort bureaus. By providing bodyguard services, they ensure the food and clothing of the general dispatch.
The leader of the East Changzhou sub-rudder is named Chang Wushe. He is in his seventies. His weapons are double whips. He has advanced internal skills and a pair of poisonous palms. He is unique in the martial arts world. The leader of the Xiliang Prefecture sub-rudder is Hua Guzi. She is a woman in her forties. Deep and unique in concealed weapons and embroidery needles; the southern Yizhou branch is the largest rudder, with hundreds of escorts, and the helmsman is named Zhao Zhu, who is about forty, and is good at using two swords; the northern Youzhou branch has the helmsman Luo Mai. Around fifty, a set of Xiaoyao sword skills suddenly appeared.
After the four sub-rudder leaders and their entourage left, the lady-in-law of the Liangzhou sub-rudder left her daughter Zhang Bei in Tianlong Mountain and asked her to practice martial arts there, so Yang Rourou accepted Zhang Bei as her disciple.
Zhang Bei is one year younger than Zhu Yu, and the same age as Lan Ling'er, both fourteen years old. Different from Lan Ling'er, Zhang Bei has a fair complexion and delicate facial features. Compared with Lan Ling'er, she is a real beauty. After all, Zhang Bei is reserved and reserved, while Lan Ling'er is lively and generous.
Zhu Yu, Lan Ling'er, and Lan Tian practiced martial arts in the Shaolin Temple and no longer had to learn from their masters. Especially Lan Tian, whose martial arts skills were even comparable to those of Sima Zhen and Kong Lingyuan, but he kept it secret and no one knew his true identity. Martial arts level.
The third protector Zhao Zhou and the fourth protector Yunshan were practicing Golden Bell Shield. They had not given birth to a child, so they went to the farmhouse at the foot of the mountain to adopt a child. It was Zhao Li who Zhu Yu had met a few days ago. Zhao Li was the same age as Lan Tian and was already one year old. At the age of sixteen, Zhao Li was taught martial arts by his parents Zhao Zhou and Yunshan. The other child is Luo Lin, also fourteen years old. He is the only son of Luo Mai, the helmsman of the North Youzhou branch. He went to Tianlong Mountain three years ago to practice martial arts with the second protector Kong Lingyuan.
In addition to practicing martial arts, the six children often play together.
Tianlong Mountain is high and has a cold climate. Every winter, the top of the mountain is covered with white snow, which is very spectacular. Several children had long wanted to go for a walk on the top of the mountain, but they never made it. On this day, Lan Tian called Zhu Yu and others to make an appointment to come together. Take a walk to the top of Houshan Mountain.
After lunch, Lan Tian spoke to his mother, and the six of them set off.
The first section of the journey is relatively gentle, and there are a few small woods in the middle. Because the mountains are high, the trees are not very tall, and most of the places are covered with low shrubs and alpine meadows.
"Beibei, look, do these flowers look good? I'll give them to you!" A few people were walking when Zhao Li pulled a handful of yellow and red flowers from nowhere and handed them to Zhang Bei.
Seeing the flowers that Zhao Li handed over, Zhang Bei's face suddenly turned red. She and Zhao Li had never spoken before, and Zhao Li wanted to give her flowers as soon as he came. This made him a little overwhelmed. He looked at it. Lan Ling'er, Lan Ling'er smiled and said, "Beibei, this flower is pretty good, just take it."
Zhang Bei shyly took the flower, took a look at it, carried the flower behind him, and continued on his way with the five others.
"Hey, if Senior Brother Kongling is here, he will definitely catch butterflies for me!" While walking, Lan Ling'er suddenly said something that made Lan Tian, Zhao Li, Luo Lin and Zhang Bei confused.
"Ling'er, look, there's a butterfly over there!" After hearing what Lan Ling'er said, Zhu Yu subconsciously looked around and saw a black butterfly sitting among several flowers on the hillside about seven or eight feet away from the six people. Flying back and forth, under the sunlight, the wings shine with crystal light.
"It's so beautiful, Zhu Yu. Go and catch it and bring it to me." As soon as Lan Ling'er finished speaking, Zhu Yu had already raised her breath and flew towards the butterfly. She stretched out her hand and caught the butterfly in her hand.
"What a beautiful fingering technique!" Lan Tian praised when Zhu Yu reached out to catch the butterfly.
"What's so difficult about this, brother, I'll teach you another time, but you have to catch butterflies for me." Lan Ling'er smiled.
"Amitabha, sister, you have practiced in Shaolin for so many years, but you haven't learned anything about the heart of a Bodhisattva. Killing is not good." Lan Tian said, clasping his hands together and singing a promise, which made several people laugh.
"Butterflies are going to die anyway. I make them into specimens so that they can continue to be beautiful." Lan Linger pursed her lips and said.
"Okay, I'll catch it for you!" Lan Tian said as he spotted a flying butterfly five or six feet above his head. He raised his breath and stretched his body three or four feet upward. He paused and raised his breath again. It flew upward another two or three feet, stretched out its hand, caught the butterfly, and fluttered to the ground.
The five people couldn't help but applaud when they saw Lan Tian's skill in catching butterflies.
"Brother Tian, your Tiyunzong Qinggong is really powerful. This is the first time I've seen it. How did you master it?" Luo Lin was already impressed by Lan Tian's Qinggong and asked hurriedly.
"This is a training method of Shaolin Qinggong. The key is the second time. The third time you move up requires some skills." Lan Tian handed the butterfly to Lan Ling'er smoothly.
"What? Going up for the third time? Isn't this going to heaven?" Luo Lin's eyes widened in disbelief.
"The third time is nothing. Shaolin Tiyun Zongqing Qinggong can be used for a total of seven times. If you have deep internal strength, you can fly up a hundred-meter-high cliff without using any external force of seven to eight feet." Lan Ling'er said with some pride, It seemed like he was the Shaolin master who could fly up a hundred-meter cliff.
Hearing what Lan Ling'er said, Luo Lin's jaw dropped and he kept saying: "Brother Tian must teach me, I also want to practice Shaolin Tiyun Zong Qinggong."
"Let's talk about this later! Let's go quickly. Don't waste time. If we can't get down the mountain before night, we will be in trouble." Lan Tian urged.
After a while, the six people came to the cave where the wise master practiced in seclusion. Lan Ling'er suggested that everyone take a rest at the entrance of the cave. After a few people found a place to sit down at the entrance of the cave, Lan Ling'er found a few broad leaves nearby and put them close. The dead butterfly was clipped with leaves and kept in the arms.
Lan Ling'er has always kept the butterfly specimens made in the Shaolin Temple in her room. When she has nothing to do, she will also catch a few butterflies to make specimens, but there is no atmosphere like the Shaolin Temple, and she doesn't put much thought into it. Continue this hobby.
"I heard that Master Wise Man has lived in seclusion in this cave for decades. Is this true?" Zhao Li asked.
"Yes, the wise master has been in seclusion here for thirty years. When the master left a few days ago, we happened to meet him." Lan Tian replied.
"Why did the master retreat here? And he has been in retreat for thirty years all of a sudden?" Zhang Bei stood up, looked at the dark entrance of the cave, and asked thoughtfully.
"The master lost to my grandpa in the martial arts competition and vowed to stay in seclusion here for thirty years. Unexpectedly, in these thirty years, he actually practiced peerless magical skills." Lan Ling'er also turned around and looked at the entrance of the cave, seeming to be thinking to herself. Talk to yourself.
"To practice peerless magic, you need opportunity and understanding. Otherwise, you may not be able to achieve great success even if you practice for a hundred years." Lan Tian sighed.
"Perhaps, this place is more suitable for cultivation, just like the cave where Bodhidharma meditated and practiced in the mountains behind the Shaolin Temple. It can gather the energy of heaven and earth, and cultivation can naturally get twice the result with half the effort." Zhu Yuruo realized something.
"Yes, that should be the case. Otherwise, why would so many masters find a special and secret place to practice martial arts? On the one hand, they are afraid of being disturbed, and on the other hand, they want to use the energy of heaven and earth to bless their own skills." Lan Tian was happy. say.
"By the way, I heard from my father that practicing on the top of Tianlong Mountain can make one year count as ten years. You just need to practice according to a scripture from Shaolin Temple. Otherwise, you will not be able to control the movement of your true energy, but you will hurt yourself, and the result will be counterproductive. ." Lan Ling'er jumped up and said excitedly.
"What scripture? Is it so magical? Could it be the Great Netherworld Sutra? I heard Master Kongkong say that this scripture is somewhat magical, but it was stolen." Zhu Yu asked strangely.
"Father didn't say that if there is such a book, it must be very popular and everyone hopes to get it, so it is impossible for us to be blessed like this." Lan Ling'er said helplessly as she looked at the dark cave.
