"Little friend Zhao Qing, what are you doing?" Seeing Zhao Qing falling from the sky, Xiaoyaozi couldn't understand. Is he going to ascend in three months, or the other party?
Could it be that, after only half a year, she came from behind and miraculously caught up with her own cultivation?
"I came here on a giant wither, so I was able to fall from high altitude." Landing quickly on the top of the peak, Zhao Qing couldn't stop his high speed for a while. He rushed dozens of steps before stopping. After coming down, he swayed, jumped back to the giant rock at the top of Piaomiao Peak, and explained aloud.
"I see……"
Xiaoyaozi seemed to understand this statement, and reached out to check the Yao Qin whose sound had stopped suddenly. He found that due to being too excited when seeing Zhao Qing, the internal force on the strings fluctuated, causing several strings to become loose. , unable to continue playing for a while.
What kind of bird can carry people flying? Even if you really fly into the sky, how can you achieve walking in the air?
He carefully sensed the other person's aura, and found that her state of cultivation had indeed improved significantly. Her skills were as deep as the sea, not touching one thing, but touching everything, making it impossible to grasp the reality and reality, and there was no gap in the Qi movement.
At the same time, Zhao Qing smiled slightly and added: "Isn't there a statue of a vulture here in the Vulture Palace? The big bird that carried me here should be one of the vultures."
When she arrived near Piaomiao Peak, she saw the male vulture stone carving next to Lingjiu Palace in the distance. It was somewhat similar to Dugu Qiufei's Shenqiu. It seemed to be the same kind of bird.
In fact, according to Dugu Qiubai's statement, it was in a cliff cave at Piaomiao Peak that he discovered the withered bird as a fledgling.
Perhaps due to a mutation, the feathers of the God wither were different from the black of other eagles, showing a light golden color, so he was abandoned by his parents. Before he died of starvation and freezing, he met Tong Lao who went to Piaomiao Peak to try the sword. Dugu Qiufei was lucky enough to become his friend.
Now, he has returned to the Misty Peak where he was born after decades of absence. The god is flying freely beside the cliffs everywhere, which evokes the memory of his childhood and seems to be deeply touched.
After chatting with Xiaoyaozi for a while, Zhao Qing gradually learned about his past experiences and the general history of Lingjiu Palace.
More than two hundred years ago, the young Xiaoyaozi traveled around, looking for ancient relics, and discovered that Piaomiao Peak in Tianshan Mountain was surrounded by many natural dangers, but there was flat land suitable for building castles at high altitudes, which could be used as a safe haven during wars.
It was at the end of the Tang Dynasty. Huang Chao, Wang Xianzhi and others rebelled, and the world was in chaos. A large number of noble families perished and famous sects were destroyed. He harvested many profound secrets and obtained various secrets of Sima Chengzhen, the great Taoist master in the prosperous Tang Dynasty. Item inheritance.
Feeling that the wars were becoming more frequent and might not stop for decades, Xiaoyaozi took his family and some close friends, gathered a team and built a fortress here that was easy to defend but difficult to attack, allowing people with low martial arts skills to Live here.
As for himself, he continued to travel around the world and successfully mastered the life-extending skills he obtained from the Valley of Eternal Eternal Spring. However, due to insufficient qualifications, it was difficult to teach them to his relatives and friends.
After his familiar family members and friends grew old and died one by one, Xiaoyaozi felt deeply in his heart, and finally fully understood the essence of the cycle of life and death in the "Eternal Life Changchun Kung", and became one of the few peerless masters in the world.
….
Returning to the stone castle, Xiaoyaozi accompanied the vultures living here. He named it "Vulture Palace" and dug a large number of secret passages underground. He studied martial arts in seclusion and created many exquisite secrets, which were engraved in the tunnels. On the deep stone wall.
In the end, he summarized and sublimated all the original skills into a "free wind control", breaking through the boundary between heaven and man, and entering the ultimate martial arts realm of "refining the void".
After achieving great success in martial arts, he left Piaomiao Peak again and traveled around the world. He adopted a baby girl who was abandoned as a monster because of her precocious intelligence. He taught her excellent internal skills since she was a child and had the idea of opening up a sect.
In Tiantai Mountain, where Sima Chengzhen lived in seclusion, and in Tongbai Temple, where Taoism was left behind, Xiaoyaozi ran into Li Congqian, whom he had met decades ago in the Southern Tang Dynasty and faked his death to become a monk here. They exchanged Taoism and martial arts with each other, and agreed to accept each other's newly born Soon his granddaughter became a disciple.
He brought the girl back to the Vulture Palace and took care of her for a while, allowing her to successfully learn the "Eternal Life Eternal Spring Kung Fu". He calculated the time and went out again. Along the way, he first took Wu Yazi as his disciple, and then took Li Qiu Shui as his third disciple. Disciple, teach two people the basic internal skills.
After a few years, Xiaoyaozi realized that Li Qiushui had a bad temperament and was not a suitable disciple, so he also brought her sister Li Qingning to Lingjiu Palace. He did not teach her martial arts, but only taught her music, chess, calligraphy and painting, poetry, wine, flower tea and other miscellaneous subjects. , to examine her character.
As a result, just as he was about to accept Li Qingning as a closed disciple, Li Qiushui deliberately let his eldest disciple fail in order to compete for Wu Yazi. The three disciples made a fuss, which made him quite disappointed and took Li Qingning to live in the Immortal Changchun Valley. several years.
When they came back, they found that the conflicts between the three apprentices not only did not resolve, but intensified. They passed the position of master to Wu Yazi, who was the most skilled in martial arts. He stayed away from Piaomiao Peak and went to retreat overseas to practice in pursuit of enlightenment and ascension.
Feeling guilty towards his senior sister, Wu Yazi gave up the Lingjiu Palace and left with Li Qiushui. Only Tong Lao lived in the empty Lingjiu Palace, feeling deeply lonely. He traveled around the surrounding areas and made a great name for himself. He gained fame and rescued some infant girls who suffered similar experiences to himself, and gradually established this powerful sect located in a remote place in the Tianshan Mountains.
The entire Lingjiu Palace is divided into nine nine departments, namely Haotian Department, Yangtian Department, Chitian Department, Zhutian Department, Chengtian Department, Youtian Department, Xuantian Department, Luantian Department and Juntian Department. Each department has nearly a hundred people. Although most of them are only in their twenties and thirties, they are basically at the level of third-rate players.
Each of these women was rescued by Tong Lao in extremely difficult and difficult situations. Therefore, although Tong Lao was strict, everyone was grateful for her kindness.
Among them, Granny Yu, Sister-in-law Shi, and Fu Minyi, who have the highest martial arts skills, can be regarded as top-notch practitioners. Although they are weaker than Wu Yazi's disciple Su Xinghe, they are also much younger.
Obviously, Child Elder taught these subordinates of Lingjiu Palace with all his heart and did not hide any secrets. It was just because of his lack of skills that he could not learn advanced martial arts such as Tianshan Plum Blossom Hand.
However, since these maids were of ordinary origins and had uneven qualifications, and there were no geniuses, if Tong Lao were to lose her, it is estimated that the Vulture Palace would decline in two or three generations.
Xu Zhu, who succeeded the Lord in the original work, had average qualifications and an honest and honest personality, somewhat similar to the later Guo Jing. Although his skills were better than Tong Lao's, his effectiveness in teaching the younger generation was far inferior to hers.
….
Therefore, although Tong Lao also did some evil things and used the life and death talisman wantonly to control the thirty-six caves and seventy-two islands, she also saved the lives of nearly a thousand poor women and trained them to become talents. Overall, , can be regarded as a very capable and ruthless strongman.
…
After getting a token identifying the guest from Xiaoyaozi, Zhao Qing descended from the highest point of Piaomiao Peak, discovering many blue-white snow lotuses along the way, and arrived at Lingjiu Palace below.
She felt the temperature rise rapidly, and knew that this was due to the special terrain of the surrounding peaks and the concentrated warm wind blowing in. This place was not as cold as other places in the Tianshan Mountains.
And because it is close to the intersection of air conditioning and heating, the yin and yang qi are more active than in ordinary places, and it is easy to sense and activate the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, making it very suitable for practicing superior internal skills.
It can be seen from this that when Xiaoyaozi chose the location of Lingjiu Palace here, he made an exquisite design after understanding the various weather conditions in the surrounding area.
Along the way, she caught a glimpse of many women wearing green cloaks. They were members of the Nine Heavens and Nine Divisions under Tianshan Tonglao of Piao Miao Peak Lingjiu Palace. There was a piece of brocade hanging down in front of their cloaks to cover their chests, with a head embroidered on it. Black vulture, crouching with head held high, looking majestic.
Seeing the black version of these trumpets, Zhao Qing also had a good impression. He looked around casually for a while and caught a glimpse of a few small black vultures walking on nearby roofs that were not afraid of strangers. Using his true energy as a guide, he casually summoned one of them.
The black vultures here are called spiritual vultures. They are quite spiritual. After being raised and accompanied by Xiaoyaozi and others for more than two hundred years, they are very close to people.
After wandering around the Vulture Palace, Zhao Qing was warmly welcomed by the group of girls who had been ordered in advance. Zhao Qing found out that Child Elder was studying martial arts in the back hall of the Vulture Palace and knew that she should
It’s time to figure out the map above in the stone room inside.
According to Dugu Qiufei, he was still in his forties at the time. He found out that there was a reclusive master in Piaomiao Peak of Tianshan Mountain, who came to challenge him. On the way, he found a golden, screaming, abandoned by his parents. Xiao wither, rescued it.
When he brought Xiao Tiao to the Vulture Palace, Child Elder was very fond of this weak bird and thought of his own origin. The two competed for a while and developed some friendship with each other. A bird-shaped pattern carved on the stone wall was rubbed out and presented to him.
Speaking of which, after that day's sword duel and induction into the Immortal Sect, Dugu Qiu was defeated in martial arts and swordsmanship. He soon had a lot of relevant profound insights and began to retreat intermittently.
Although he learned about the existence of Xiaoyaozi from Zhao Qing and knew that he was Tong Lao's master, he was willing to come and see him. However, due to his serious injury, he needed to train for a while first.
…
"Miss Zhao, the Lord has invited you." While Zhao Qing was admiring the scenery of the Vulture Palace and teasing the little eagles, four girls in their late teens walked up to her, prostrated themselves and whispered softly.
Not only are they exactly the same in height, shortness, and slenderness, but they also have the same appearance. They have average oval-shaped faces, eyes like paint, and are elegant and beautiful. Only the colors of their clothes are different. One is wearing light red, the other is blue, one is light green, and the other is light yellow. , it is the four plum blossoms, orchids, bamboos and chrysanthemums that Child Elder loves most.
….
"When the old lord comes back, just tell the maidservants to follow grandma's orders if they have anything to do." Mei Jian, the leader of the four swordsmen, said, "Miss Zhao, please come with the four of us."
They led Zhao Qing to the garden, pulled the trigger, moved a rockery, and revealed the tunnel entrance. Mei Jian held the torch high, leading the way, and the five people filed in.
The tunnel twists and turns, spiraling downward, and sometimes it suddenly opens up, revealing a huge grotto. It can be seen that the tunnel is formed according to the natural cave in the heart of the mountain.
After walking for more than two miles, Mei Jian reached out and pushed away a rock on the left. Inside was the martial arts center of Lingjiu Palace. The four people were guarding the outside and did not dare to enter.
Zhao Qing walked into the stone chamber and saw that the rocks on the four walls were polished and smooth. The stone walls were carved with countless circles about a foot in diameter. Each circle was carved with various figures, some of which were human figures, some of animal shapes, and some of which were incomplete. There are incomplete words, and some are just marks and lines.
Next to the circle are numbers such as "A 1", "A 2", "Zi 1", "Zi 2", etc. At a glance, there are at least eight or nine hundred. There is also a part of the stone chamber that is more than a hundred feet long and has some twists and turns, which blocks the view and cannot be seen at once.
The twelve outermost circles are engraved with detailed illustrations of "Tianshan Plum Blossom Hand" and "Tianshan Six Yang Palm"; looking further inside, they are "Sound Transmission Soul Searching Technique" and "Vivid Dream Butterfly Step" "White Rainbow Palm Power" and other martial arts.
Some of the graphics that look like marked lines are the changing routes of the Qinggong movement of Xiaoyao Sect, and some are martial arts composed of musical rhythms.
There are also some engraved with arithmetic calculations, using special symbols created by Xiaoyaozi. They are more concise than ordinary text descriptions, and seem to be some different shades of mathematical and physical laws.
With the education from his previous life, Zhao Qing could guess one or two of them even though he didn't know much about the way he used symbols. He was quite impressed that the other person had such knowledge even though he lived in ancient times.
There are more than sixty circles with only incomplete words. Judging from the remaining traces, they should have been diagrams recording the exercise routes of the "Eternal Life Changchun Kung", "Beiming Magic Kung Fu" and "Small Wuxiang Kung".
According to Zhao Qing's guess, perhaps after Xiaoyaozi taught the three internal skills to his apprentices, he was worried that when they went to the underground stone wall to study martial arts in the future, they would be affected by the other two skills and go astray, so he changed the original engraved The three internal skills here were easily destroyed.
In general, the Xiaoyao sect martial arts she got from Wu Yazi was only equivalent to 20 to 30% of the stone wall diagram.
Many of the other profound secrets of Xiaoyao Sect were things that Wu Yazi had not yet understood before leaving Lingjiu Palace. Some of them were quite different from the direction of his martial arts practice and had no reference value for him, so they were not special.
Intentional memory.
Glancing at dozens of circles dedicated to recording the inner strength and mental skills of animals, Zhao Qing saw illustrations of apes, vultures, tigers, leopards, pythons, etc., confirming her theory that such skills originally came from Xiaoyaozi's exploration of Immortal Changchun. Speculations on the outcome of animals in the valley.
What's more outrageous is that in addition to this kind of animal version of internal strength, Zhao Qing actually discovered some strange secret methods of biological transformation, which surprised her.
There are illustrations of transplanting the meridians of natural spiritual creatures into humans, so that the transplanted person has some characteristics of the realm of "unity of nature and man"; there are illustrations of integrating the eyes, horns, palms, claws, etc. of various animals into one, simulating mountains and seas. illustrations of certain monsters in the scriptures;
There are illustrations of using true energy to purify poisonous substances in poisonous bodies and transforming them into natural spiritual beings; there are also illustrations of using different types of animal mind methods to interfere with the meridians of young animals to cause them to mutate...
However, most of the secret methods are filled with speculations and improvement ideas on the reasons for their failure, and it is obvious that they have not been successfully tested.
After pondering the content above for a while, Zhao Qing suddenly thought that the god wither, which was born a heterogeneous species and different from ordinary vultures, could be Xiaoyaozi who conducted experiments on its ancestors and fathers, but the effect was not obvious for a while. It took a generation to finally take effect, right?
Speaking of which, which martial art is Child Elder currently studying? She looked into the depths of the stone chamber and saw what looked like a newly dug passage. After a moment's notice, she realized that it actually led to a new stone chamber.
Stargazing is like a dusty dream
