Sword Roaring to the Heavens: Seeking Taoism from Yihua Palace

Chapter 76 Chapter 78~79 Is it sneaky or man-made
After getting married, a man has a sense of responsibility.

As a newlywed, Jiang Chen originally wanted to wander the rivers and lakes, but now he temporarily gives up this idea.

Although his martial arts are already good, but the world is dangerous, and he lacks experience, so he should practice martial arts well first.

Yao Yue and Lian Xing practiced as diligently as before.

Every martial arts practitioner wants to pursue the highest state of martial arts. After all, martial arts practitioners cannot escape wealth, power and beauty.

And Jiang Chen's pursuit of the limit of martial arts is just to truly be free and unrestrained.

The more ice-like a woman looks, the more fire is hidden in her heart, Yaoyue is like this, after getting married, she is as gentle as water to Jiang Chen, and even feels a little subservient to Jiang Chen.

No matter how many wrong things Yaoyue did before, now she is her own woman after all, and no one can hurt her in the future.

There is one more thing he has to do, and that is to retrieve his "Liuyun Feiyue Sword".

This sword was given to him by Yu Niang, and he could not disappoint Yu Niang's heart.

Jiang Chen found Yaoyue and Lianxing, and told them all about what happened after he was kidnapped by Shijia brothers.

"You mean you met Zhang Sanniang, the number one beauty in the world."

"Yes."

"She gave you her own sword [Liuyun Feiyue Sword] as a gift."

"Yes."

"She and Yan Nantian have a child."

"Yes."

"You want to get back the sword, right?"

"Yes."

"Then why don't you go to see them?"

"No, the place where I buried the sword is far away from them. I will come back after I get the sword. Only I know where I buried the sword. If you are worried, Yueyue, you can follow me."

"then you go."

"It's only been two months since we got married, and I'm so sorry to leave you."

"It's not that you will not come back after going, besides, you will come back after half a month at most."

Since they don't want to follow him, he can only go there by himself.

The next day, he galloped towards the palace gate on horseback.

After leaving the "Jade Embroidery Valley", he actually felt unrestrained and unfettered.

Is marriage like an invisible chain binding oneself.

If you want to be free, why do you want to get married.

Maybe every married man feels this way.

He gallops his horse and rests in the woods at night.

Start practicing after eating and drinking enough.

It has been almost three months since the last breakthrough in the cultivation technique.

Now there is no trace of a breakthrough, which is expected.

So I'm not in a hurry.

On the contrary, his proud swordsmanship has not improved much.

Ever since he comprehended the sword intent of [Zhan Shang], his swordsmanship seems to have reached a bottleneck, and it is extremely difficult to advance one step further.

If he continues to stay comfortably in Yihua Palace, then in the end his swordsmanship can only stop here.

He has a strong pursuit of the way of the sword, no matter what, he will reach the point where he can break the sky with a single sword.

The next day, I came to a town, which was not prosperous. I came to the booth of an old man. There were two bamboo baskets in front of the old man, and there were boiled peanuts inside.

When going out, Jiang Chen's face is too eye-catching, so he usually wears a gauze hat.

"Young Master, do you want to buy peanuts?"

"Are these peanuts delicious?"

"Young master can taste it."

Pick up a piece at random, and after breaking it open, the fruit inside is very big, and it tastes really good when you eat it in your mouth.

The old man was very old, with gray hair, and looked sympathetic.

"Old man, I bought all of your two baskets of peanuts."

"You buy everything, son, you can't finish it."

"It's okay, I'll send it off."

"Thank you, son." The old man was overjoyed.

It was only a few hundred coins in total, and Jiang Chen directly gave him a tael of silver.

"My son gave too much."

"If there are more, I will give you."

"Thank you, son, thank you son."

Jiang Chen packed a bag by himself to eat on the way, and then yelled at passers-by to eat peanuts for free. The passers-by were hesitant at first, but seeing that someone really got it, many people rushed to grab it, and the two baskets were gone in an instant.

He led the horse to find an inn to eat and stay.

When he came to the inn, he gave the horse to the man, and he went in with the bundle.

Another guy came up to meet him.

"Guest officer, what would you like to eat?"

"Here comes a fire-drunk goose, and a jug of good wine."

"Okay, please wait a moment."

One roast goose was enough for him to eat alone, and he probably couldn't finish it, so he didn't order other dishes.

After a while, the food and wine came out, and the goose meat had been cut into pieces and neatly placed on the plate, and the goose was eaten with chopsticks.

Just as he was gulping alcohol and eating meat, he heard guests not far away talking.

"Have you heard that another girl is lost in this city, this is the third woman lost this month."

"Hey, this world is really not peaceful. Now those who have daughters at home dare not go out."

"It's not safe if you don't go out."

"Now the government is offering a reward for arresting people. If someone can solve this case, the reward will be 500 taels."

"Could it be something sneaky, or else how could these girls disappear without anyone noticing?"

"Stop talking, my back gets chills when you say it."

Jiang Chen believes that there must be demons and ghosts in the other world, but there is absolutely no such thing as the world of peerless double arrogance. The so-called sneakiness is all pretended by people.

There must be something strange about the disappearance of these missing girls.

This matter aroused Jiang Chen's interest.

"I'll pay for the wine at the guy's table."

"Good son."

The guests at that table looked at Jiang Chen strangely, and they definitely didn't know each other.

"Why does this brother have to pay for us?"

Jiang Chen came to their seats and sat down.

He couldn't see clearly with his gauze hat on.

"Brothers, I'm curious about what you just said. In fact, I'm a knight. I passed by here. Since there are weird cases here, I want to see if I can help."

"I see."

"May I ask when did the girl disappear?"

"It's been three months."

"What kind of girl is Lost?"

"These lost girls are from poor and rich families."

"Can you tell me about the lost girl."

Next, Jiang Chen carefully inquired about every detail.

After inquiring, Jiang Chen said goodbye to them.

Go back to your seat and continue to eat and drink while thinking about things.

After eating, I went to the inn room and asked the clerk to prepare the bath water, and I was still thinking about this case while washing.

After washing, Jiang Chen and his buddies asked for pens, inks, papers and inkstones, and then listed the missing girls in order.

A total of nine girls were lost. These girls were between fifteen and 23 years old, and they were either released or not.

The common feature of these girls is that they are beautiful.

Then Jiang Chen punctuated the addresses of these girls on the paper.

Judging from the punctuation, these girls are scattered throughout the city and there is no pattern to be found.

It seems that tomorrow I will go to the families of these girls to inquire.

Sitting on the bed, he began to practice.

The next day, he had breakfast, led his horse and turned into a bounty hunter to investigate the disappearance of the woman.

The person disappeared without a trace in this case, so the murderer's martial arts must be extraordinary, at least the lightness kung fu is very remarkable.

It is not ruled out that the crime was committed by a gang.

Jiang Chen rode his horse and began to question the families of these missing girls one by one.

After all the family members of the missing girl finished asking, Jiang Chen keenly grasped a key word "Shuiyue Nunnery".

These girls all went to "Shuiyue Nunnery" to offer incense or have fun the day before, and disappeared the next night after returning.

So Jiang Chen locked his target on "Shuiyue Temple", and he wanted to investigate it.

But on the street, he suddenly thought, since those girls were all lost after going to "Shuiyue Nunnery", why don't he disguise himself as a woman and use this identity to go fishing.

After thinking about it, he bought rouge and gouache on the side of the street, went to a tailor shop and bought a woman's floral dress, found a place where no one was there, and started to make up with a bronze mirror. As long as his mouth was painted red and his hair style changed, he would wear Putting on women's clothes and looking at herself in the mirror, she is really a very beautiful beauty.

He was already extremely handsome, but now as long as his mouth is painted red, it is enough to overwhelm everyone.

His hands were pointed at the orchids, his movements were gentle and graceful, and he imitated a woman's voice and said: "Young master, don't want it!"

Ah yo, I was so scared that I got goosebumps all over my body, it was so disgusting.

Riding a horse towards the inquired "Shuiyue Temple".

Shuiyue nunnery, formerly known as Guanyin nunnery, is located on the west side of Tianchi Lake in Qingxiu Mountain.

The whole nunnery is solemn and solemn with red walls, red pillars, yellow glazed tile roof, angled corners and double eaves.It is a living place for monks and nuns and a place for religious activities.

Because the nunnery faces the Raojiang River, and the water and the moon reflect each other at night, Zen Master Fengye changed its name to Shuiyue Nunnery.

Avalokitesvara has 33 phases, and Water Moon Avalokitesvara is one of them. She sits high on a stone by the water and turns her head to look at the reflection of the moon in the water.

At that time, Shuiyue Nunnery was a brick and wood structure with three entrance halls, two corridors and one pavilion. The first entrance hall was the living room with a wooden screen carved with the head of the patriarch of the pavilion. The second entrance hall was the residence and patio of the monk. The third entrance hall is where Bodhisattva statues are placed for people to burn incense and worship. The ground is paved with brown stone slabs, and the gate faces Qingfeng Mountain.

When he came to the foot of the mountain, he tied the horse in a grassy place, and he went to the "Shuiyue Temple" alone to have a look.

It just suddenly occurred to him that if he came to offer incense, he would not have a basket of fruits in his hand, and there would be incense paper, which made people wonder what his purpose was.

Now if someone asks, they can only say that they came here to play because of their reputation.

Along the way up the mountain, I felt that something was wrong. Suddenly I saw the shadow on the ground, and then I suddenly realized that the steps were too big, and it didn't look like a Xiaojiabiyu woman walking.

Imagine how Lianxing usually walks, Yaoyue walks too domineeringly, not an ordinary domesticated woman.

Take the waist as the center, drive the feet with the belt, and move the center forward.

To smile, draw your jaw back and look straight ahead.

Straighten your knees, lift your feet up naturally, and touch your knees to each other.

Walk with a steady pace, shoulders relaxed, and fingers held together.

Keep your upper body straight, your waist back, and your feet parallel.

Sure enough, with his abnormal learning ability, he quickly learned the charm of women's walking.

Fortunately, they were not seen by the people of Yihua Palace, otherwise they would think that this is Jiang Chen's twin sister!
When he came to "Shuiyue Nunnery", Jiang Chen walked around with a playful mentality, and when he saw the statue, he knelt down and worshiped.

At this time, a handsome nun came towards him.

"Why did this benefactor come here alone? Why is his family accompanying him?"

Such a beautiful and temperamental beauty must come from a lady, how could she go up the mountain alone to play here.

"Master, I sneaked out to play alone because I was in a bad mood. I heard that Shuiyue Temple has a good view, so I came here just because of its reputation."

"So that's the case. The donor should be in a bad mood because of emotional matters."

"The mage really has sharp eyes, and he can see it at a glance."

The nun said in her heart that I was just guessing.

"Does the donor have a sweetheart, and the family disagrees with this marriage, so you ran away from home in a fit of anger?"

Damn, I don't know how to make up a story yet, this nun has already made up my mind for me, she is so considerate.

"The mage is really powerful, I have no secrets in front of you."

"The donor has heard of the wishing tree, as long as you write your own and your sweetheart's birth date, family address, and what you want to achieve on red paper, then put it in a sachet, and finally hang it on the tree and pray sincerely, and your wish will come true. gone."

"Is it true? Where is the wishing tree? I want to make a wish quickly."

"Sir, please come with me."

After passing the Buddhist hall, passing through several buildings, we came to a big banyan tree, which is the wishing tree, because there are many sachets hanging on the tree.

I don't know if there will be those missing women in these sachets.

This big banyan tree has luxuriant branches and leaves, and the scale of the tree is estimated to be more than 500 years old.

Jiang Chen took the paper and pen, and casually wrote a date of birth and an address.

This address is a property he saw yesterday for rent.

Wouldn't this come in handy?

Next, the nun took her to visit "Shuiyue Nunnery".

On the first and fifteenth day of the lunar new year, some pious believers and Buddhist pilgrims flock to Shuiyue Nunnery to worship, and the incense is at its peak.There is a wharf near the Yongjiang River at the back door of the nunnery, and some pilgrims from afar also row boats to join in the fun.

There is a tower in front of it, which is quite tall.

"This is the Dragon Elephant Pagoda. It is named "Dragon Elephant Pagoda" based on the meaning of the Buddhist scriptures "Water travels with great power, and land travels with great power". It is 204 meters above sea level, more than ten feet high, octagonal and nine stories, and has a brick structure with double eaves. "

"Master, can I go in and visit this tower?"

"Donor, this tower is not open to tourists."

Jiang Chen keenly noticed that when he said he was going to visit the pagoda, the nun's eyes flickered with panic.

There must be some secrets in this tower that no outsiders will know.

Green glazed tiles, with 207 steps of spiral ladders to reach the top of the tower, and copper bells (72 in total) are hung under the eaves of each floor.

After visiting Shuiyue Nunnery, Jiang Chen bid farewell to the nun.

This "Shuiyue Nunnery" saw a total of four nuns, but did not see a man.

On the surface, there is nothing strange about "Shuiyue Nunnery", and this nun also looks kind.

Coming down from the mountain, no one followed along the way.

If I had guessed well, this "Shuiyue Temple" would definitely find me on my own initiative.

Why do you write your home address when you make a wish to the wishing tree? This is too deliberate.

Finding his horse, he gallops off towards the town.

Back in town, he immediately contacted the owner to rent the house, which was quite big.

Then there is the recruitment of housekeepers and servants, which requires a complete set of tasks.
