Xiang Nan then secretly went to see Mei Chaofeng, "Master~"
"Humph, now that you have returned to the Quanzhen Sect, you are a famous and authentic sect, and a martial arts master, do you still need to recognize me as your master again?" Mei Chaofeng said coldly.
"Once a teacher, always a father, how could my disciple disown you?" Xiang Nan said loudly.
"Okay, if that's the case, then go and help me kill Guo Jing." Mei Chaofeng said immediately.
"Master, Guo Jing is my sworn brother. Our two families have a close relationship from our ancestors." When Xiang Nan heard this, he flatly refused, "It would be unjust for me to kill him; my parents will be sad when he dies. That's unfilial. Master, you don't want your disciple to be an unjust and unfilial person, right?"
"Hmph, you are glib and clever." Mei Chaofeng scolded, "If you don't want to listen to me, why are you coming to me?"
"The disciple just wants to say goodbye to the master." Xiang Nan said, "The disciple knows that the master will not stay in Zhongnan Mountain for a long time. After this farewell, I don't know when we will see each other again. The world is far away and the storm is difficult to stop. I hope Master has a safe journey."
Seeing him say this, Mei Chaofeng felt a little sentimental.
In the past ten years, she has been lonely and alone, and no one has ever said such thoughtful words to her.
Although she and Wan Yankang were suspected of taking advantage of each other, after more than ten years of getting along, there was always a bit of true love between them.
"You do have some conscience." Mei Chaofeng snorted coldly, "Okay, I remember."
"Thank you, Master." Xiang Nan kowtowed solemnly and said, "The disciple is gone. Master, please take care!"
When he got up, Mei Chaofeng had already drifted away.
…
The Seven Monsters of Jiangnan then said goodbye to everyone and prepared to return to their hometown in Jiaxing.
They still have family in Jiangnan, and now that they have been apart for eighteen years, they naturally miss them very much.
It was to escort Yang Tiexin, Bao Xiruo, and Li Ping, so it was delayed for more than a month.
Now that they had arrived at Zhongnan Mountain safely, they naturally chose to say goodbye.
"Master, Master..." Guo Jing saw this and stopped him quickly, "I'm going to Jiangnan too, why don't you wait a few more days and then we'll hit the road together."
"Jing'er, you're not a child anymore, why can't you live without your master?" Ke Zhen'e waved his hand, "If you want to go to Jiangnan, just go on your own. If you go and have a go, you can also increase your world. Experience is always with us."
"That's right, Jing'er, you only know what you see on paper but you have to do it in earnest." Zhu Cong said with a smile, "You still have to walk the road in the world on your own."
"That's right, Jing'er, remember, nothing can be learned without experience. Only by going through more ups and downs can you grow." Han Xiaoying also told her.
Seeing what they all said, Guo Jing had no choice but to say goodbye to the six masters and send them off.
…
After the Seven Monsters of Jiangnan left, Xiang Nan and Guo Jing were busy buying land and fields, hiring people to build houses, and preparing to settle in Zhongnan Mountain.
While he was busy, Xiang Nan also secretly inquired about the location of the Tomb of the Living Dead.
As far as he knew, the Tomb of the Living Dead was originally where Wang Chongyang retreated, and all the essence of his martial arts were engraved in it.
Later, the Tomb of the Living Dead was occupied by Lin Chaoying. Although she was born as a girl, her martial arts skills were no worse than Wang Chongyang's.
Based on the martial arts essence written by Wang Chongyang, Lin Chaoying found a new way and created the "Jade Girl Heart Sutra", which perfectly restrained the Quanzhen School's martial arts.
Later, Wang Chongyang used the martial arts of the "Nine Yin Manual" to decipher all the "Jade Girl Heart Sutra". Therefore, there are at least three superior martial arts schools in the Tomb of the Living Dead.
As a martial arts fanatic, Xiang Nan would naturally not enter Baoshan and return empty-handed.
But he couldn't enter the front door of the Tomb of the Living Dead.
Because the front door of the tomb is not only closed, but there are many mechanisms inside. If you don't know the path, you will encounter many obstacles.
Xiang Nan's martial arts has not yet reached the state of transformation, so it is not suitable for him to break through forcefully.
Fortunately, he knew that there was a secret passage under the Tomb of the Living Dead that led directly to the foot of the mountain. If you use the secret passage to enter, you can stay unnoticed, so sneaking in secretly is still feasible.
But that secret passage is located at the foot of Zhongnan Mountain, in an extremely remote valley. It was not easy to find originally.
After all, Zhongnan Mountain has a radius of 4,800 hectares, which is three times the area of Yanjing City. Trying to find a cave in such a big place is like looking for a needle in a haystack.
But after Xiang Nan's careful search, he finally found the secret passage.
The method is actually very simple to put it bluntly. Because there is a stream in the secret passage that leads to the foot of the mountain. Zhongnan Mountain is not a water town, and the number of streams is limited.
Xiang Nan spent two days walking up multiple streams and finally determined the location of the secret passage.
…
On the morning of the third day, Xiang Nan came to the cave.
After entering the cave, I walked for about an hour with the help of candles for lighting, and then I saw a raging stream.
Xiang Nan knew that the entrance to the secret passage was under the stream. He put away the candle, took a deep breath, and immediately stepped into the stream.
Although the stream was fast and rumbling, Xiang Nan was still able to steady his body and move forward quickly due to his excellent kung fu.
After walking for about a meal, just when Xiang Nan felt out of breath, he finally surfaced.
"Oh, in a little while, I will be drowned." Xiang Nan gasped for air.
Fortunately, he had great internal strength and was able to hold on for so long. The second person would have drowned.
After crossing the stream, we saw a mountain road going straight up, which was difficult to navigate.
Xiang Nan lit a candle and walked straight up the road.
After walking for about half an hour, the terrain became flat and the space became much larger.
Xiang Nan knew that he was not far from the Tomb of the Living Dead.
However, there is still a difficulty ahead. That is, in order to prevent enemies from entering the ancient tomb through secret passages, Wang Chongyang designed a maze-like forked road here.
If you are not careful, you may go the wrong way, and if you hit the trap by mistake, you may die. Because you absolutely cannot be careless.
Xiang Nan was extra cautious and explored slowly. It took him nearly two hours and tried countless forks before he finally found the door leading to the ancient tomb.
Xiang Nan breathed a sigh of relief, took out the dry food and beef from his arms, and after a full meal, he stepped through the stone gate and officially entered the ancient tomb.
After entering the ancient tomb, there is the stone chamber.
Xiang Nan held up a candle for lighting, and saw densely written symbols on the top of the stone chamber, with four large characters written on the far right: [Nine Yin Manual].
"Sure enough, it's here." Xiang Nan said happily, and then he remembered it carefully.
I saw written on the roof of the room were the gist of the "Nine Yin Manual" and the eight extraordinary skills. Such as [Hand Waving Five Strings], [Big Demon Subduing Fist], [Snake Walking and Lifting], [Feixu Jin], etc.
Xiang Nan had already learned some of these martial arts from Mei Chaofeng. Only the gist of the first volume of the "Nine Yin Manual", "Easing Muscles and Forging Bones", "Secrets of Acupoint Relief", "Secrets of Qi-holding", and "Soul-Moving Great Fa" have not been read.
Keeping it in mind now, I feel that it is very subtle and mysterious, and it takes a lot of time and careful understanding to be feasible.
However, Xiang Nan knew that the Chongyang Posthumous Chapter was only to restrain the "Jade Girl Heart Sutra", so it was only a small part of the "Nine Yin Sutra". Compared with the complete version of "Nine Yin Manual", it still lacks at least the general outline, healing chapter, acupoint secrets, Beidou Dafa and other methods.
Although I have survived the COVID-19, I still have to cough every day. The coughing makes me miserable. As a result, my condition has been greatly reduced. I can't even finish three chapters a day.
I have no choice but to update the second chapter, I’m really sorry!
I also ask all book friends to take care of themselves. The feeling of Yang is really uncomfortable.
(End of chapter)
