Tingchao Pavilion, one of the three most dangerous forbidden places in the world, has an arsenal containing half of the martial arts secrets in the world. It is said to have six floors, but in fact it has nine floors. There are six slaves guarding the pavilion.

The first floor has 30,000 volumes of introductory martial arts, the second floor has 4,000 unique copies of Yin-Yang and Zong-Heng, and 49 rare weapons, the third floor has 20,000 volumes of profound manuals, the fourth floor has rare stones and antiques, and the fifth and sixth floors are martial arts manuals.

After discussing the plan for Qingzhou, they decided to wait for Xu Fengnian to return from Wudang Mountain before going to Qingzhou.

Shang Yi and others can read books in the Tingchao Pavilion. As long as they are on the sixth floor or above, they can read from the first to the sixth floor.

When we arrived at the foot of the majestic Tingchao Pavilion, we looked up at the top of the pavilion with a complicated expression. It is called a pavilion, but in fact it is a proper attic with a pointed roof and layers of flying eaves, and it looks the same from all four sides.

Xu Feng smiled young and said:

“It’s claimed to be the sixth floor, but actually there are nine floors inside. The numbers start from one and end at nine. But we were worried that someone in the capital would make sarcastic remarks, so it became like this.

As you can see, there are corridors outside the lower four floors, and the fifth and sixth floors can be used as observation halls. There are no books or items on the top floor, it is empty. There are five people in the pavilion who are responsible for placing the martial arts secrets from bottom to top in order of difficulty. They should be the so-called pavilion guards in the martial arts world. They are all old guys I have known since I was a child, and they appear and disappear mysteriously.

There was only one copyist, and I learned calligraphy and painting from him. He was a tuberculosis man, more like a ghost than a ghost, but he was still addicted to alcohol. Every time I went upstairs, I had to bring him some wine.

If the slave guarding the pavilion says he is a master, I believe him. If my half-master is, I will jump off the ninth floor."

Shang Yi smiled slightly and said:

"Li Yishan is the best strategist in the world. Although he doesn't know martial arts, his vision is first-rate. When he and Xie Guanying were ranked together in the martial arts competition, it shocked the world!"

Xu Fengnian raised his eyebrows slightly when he heard this. He didn't expect that his master had such an experience.

Entering Tingchao Pavilion, Shang Yi started reading from the first floor with great interest. Although it was an introductory martial arts book, it also showed the founder's initial exploration of martial arts.

Not only Shang Yi, Qi Zhengyan, who practiced "The Devil's Prison Mysterious Embryo Sutra", also started from the introductory martial arts. The bronze bell in his body recorded and deduced various martial arts. What was needed was not only advanced martial arts, but also a lot of martial arts wisdom.

Ruan Yushu read books on music skills and piano scores, while Jiang Zhiwei read books on swordsmanship. They also followed the path of the Dao of Multiplication, so they started from the first level.

Meng Qi, Zhang Yuanshan, Fu Zhenzhen and Nangong Pushe did not go straight to the fifth floor. They all started from the introductory exercises and knew the importance of basics. Meng Qi studied swordsmanship, knife skills and Buddhist scriptures, Zhang Yuanshan studied Taoist swordsmanship, Fu Zhenzhen studied medical skills, and Nangong Pushe studied swordsmanship and applied it to other areas, and then walked his own path.

Of course, in addition to improving their own martial arts foundation, Meng Qi and his companions also want to use Tingchaoting's martial arts to exchange for good deeds in the Six Paths of Reincarnation in the future, so as to quickly accumulate foundation in exchange for means to save their lives and resources for cultivation!

While Shang Yi and others were reading in the Tingchao Pavilion, Xu Fengnian was not idle either. In order to confuse the imperial court, he went to the brothel to see the courtesan. Although there was no Nangong Pushe's guard this time, there was Qingniao present. He took back Yu Youwei, a survivor of Western Chu who wanted to assassinate him, and her cat named Wu Meiniang.

Even the news that "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince raped the courtesan Yu" spread in Liangzhou City.

It is obvious that he wants to carry out the dandy character to the end. Of course, Shang Yi has reason to suspect that this is not just a character setting, but also that Xu Fengniang is really lustful!

If the business building was not extraordinary and it involved the princess's resurrection, Xu Fengnian might not have set his sights on Ruan Yushu and Jiang Zhiwei. In the original novel, he even brought Princess Jing'an back to Beiliang, and there was also news of her "walking out with the help of the wall".

However, Xu Xiao also entered the Tingchao Pavilion during this period. The Great Pillar State went to the eighth floor. Bamboo slips and ancient books were scattered all over the floor. There was a long rosewood table with a dim and flickering candle lamp on it. On the corner of the table was a green gourd filled with wine, and a red rope was tied to the gourd mouth and a person's skinny arm.

The man sat on the ground, his hair disheveled, his face as pale as snow, with a hint of red between his eyebrows, which looked like an inverted phoenix eye if you looked closely. He was wearing a linen shirt, sitting cross-legged barefoot, and writing swiftly.

Xu Xiao, the Great Pillar of the State, picked up a dozen bamboo slips and put them neatly in place. Only then did he have a place to sit down. He apologized, "I came in a hurry and forgot to bring wine. I'll ask Feng Nian to bring it back later."

Xu Xiao was obviously used to the strange man's silence, and said to himself:

“Without a true super-first-class master sitting in the palace, I will never be able to sleep peacefully.

I hope the business building will not let me down.

It's strange. Shang Yi and the others said that he was from overseas, so it would be fine if they couldn't find out his background. But how come the spies of Nangong Pushe couldn't find out his background after inquiring for half a year? It seems that he can only be from the Northern Han Dynasty.

Yishan, what level of strength do you think she has now?"

The man who looked like a ghost spoke with a sound like metal and stone, "From the first rank. I have been practicing in the pavilion for ten years, but there are no people below me, and no one above me."

Dazhuguo said with a sigh: "Shanglou picked up a treasure, what luck!"

The sickly man picked up the gourd, poured it out, and when there was no more wine, he suddenly felt bored, so he stopped writing with a dull look in his eyes.

Immediately he said:

“According to Feng Nian, she is Xie Guanying’s daughter. Maybe she just wanted to make a deal with Feng Nian, enter Tingchao Pavilion to practice, and seek revenge on Xie Guanying in the future!
However, on the way, he heard that Shang Yi had resurrected the princess, so he entered the Shang building.

However, Shang Yi is definitely a first-class expert, with the lowest level of Zhixuan realm. How could he not notice the following of a first-class warrior? He probably deliberately let her hear it, and obviously wanted to win over Nangong Pushe to join the business building!"

Xu Xiao nodded when he heard this. Although he was a little dissatisfied, he knew very well that if Wu Su could be resurrected, then losing Nangong Pushe would be worth it, so he didn't say much.

Then he stood up, looked up at a painting of Earthly Immortals on the south wall, and frowned with his hands behind his back.
"Yishan, I will soon be an adult in my phoenix year. For the coming-of-age ceremony, you should give me a courtesy name."

The man thought for a moment and said, "Xu Fengnian, also known by his courtesy name Tianlang."

The Great Pillar of the State Xu Xiao suddenly burst into laughter, quite proud of himself.

······
During the heavy snow season, Shang Yi and others also read books in the Tingchao Pavilion for a month. It must be said that the martial arts secrets in the Tingchao Pavilion have greatly improved their martial arts skills and given them many insights.

This was exactly Xu Xiao's gesture of goodwill. He allowed Shang Yi and others to go to Tingchao Pavilion to read books for a month before preparing to go to Wudang Mountain to supplement Xu Fengnian's martial arts foundation.

This time, since Xu Fengnian already had the ambition to become a martial artist, and Shang Yi and the others were from Shang Lou after all, and there were so many masters in the Beiliang Palace, Jian Jiuhuang couldn't leave Xu Fengnian behind to go to Wudi City to challenge Wang Xianzhi.

He also helped Xu Fengnian to fish out Lao Kui from the bottom of the lake and guarded him in Wutong Garden.

Shang Yi and others are very interested in the Wudang Mountain and Zhenwu heritage in this world. After all, Zhang Yuanshan is the direct disciple of the Zhenwu School, and Meng Qi has the mission to find the Zhenwu tomb. Moreover, Zhenwu also has Hong Xixiang, who is said to be the reincarnation of Lu Zu. It is curious that he will not leave Wudang Mountain until he becomes the best in the world.

Wudang Mountain has two pools, four ponds, nine wells, 24 deep streams, 36 rocks and 81 peaks. There is a nunnery every 5 miles and a palace every 10 miles. The red walls and green tiles are exquisite. The Taizhen Palace on the Yuzhu Peak is the center. The 81 peaks are tilted around this peak and palace, forming the famous 81 peaks facing the top. Over the past thousand years, countless immortal seekers have retired to Wudang, either sitting on the cliff or hiding in the immortal coffin, listening to the celestial music of jade and gold, watching the mist and clouds rolling, the green mountains and beautiful waters, leaving countless legends. Wudang was a Taoist holy land in the previous dynasty, which was superior to Longhu Mountain. After the establishment of the Liyang Dynasty, Longhu Mountain was praised for its dragon and tiger, which made Longhu Mountain the ancestral home of Taoism.

Wudang has been silent for hundreds of years, but no one dares to underestimate the thousand-year heritage of this mountain. Although the current headmaster Wang Chonglou is not one of the top ten masters, it is said that he once broke the turbulent Canglang River with a fairy's guidance. Whether it is a rumor or an exaggeration, he is still a respected Taoist immortal. Especially when he practiced the most obscure and time-consuming Dahuangtingguan in Taoism, the whole Wudang Mountain has a long-lasting style that is silent but more powerful than words.

Two hundred Beiliang cavalrymen marched forward in a mighty force.

A burly old warrior in a black robe and holding a long sword was running on the ground, raising dust.

Landslides and landslides.

The group headed straight for the "Xuanwu Dangxing" archway at the gate of Wudang Mountain.

The leading rider actually rode straight up and passed through the archway before pulling the reins.

In the hundred-year-old martial arts world, it seems that the only one who dared to look down on the martial arts sects like this was Xu Rentu, the man who made the older generation of martial artists shudder with fear.

A good father and a good son?
Riding on a sturdy Beiliang warhorse, His Royal Highness Xu Fengnian laughed at himself, looked at the group of Taoists attracted by this grand display, and shouted gloomily:

"I'll give you half an hour to get the man riding the green bull out!"

The Taoist priests of Wudang Mountain were in a dilemma. They knew that there was a great-grandmaster who was as senior as Yuzhu Peak and liked to ride a green bull upside down. However, they were just ordinary Taoist priests of Yuqing Palace at the foot of the mountain. Not to mention that they could not move the great-grandmaster, even if the great-grandmaster was easy to talk to, it would take at least half an hour to run to Taizhen Palace, and an hour to go back and forth. The comer was very aggressive, could they wait?
From behind, Meng Qi looked at Xu Fengnian suspiciously. He didn't come to Wudang Mountain to seek help. He was probably trying to attract hatred.

Zhang Yuanshan was also somewhat dissatisfied in his heart. Although he was not a disciple of Wudang Mountain, the Zhenwu Sect and Wudang Mountain both respected the Zhenwu Emperor. Xu Fengnian's behavior seemed to be quite disrespectful to Zhenwu.

Shang Yi smiled slightly and said:

"It doesn't matter. Xu Fengnian has a special status. He is not just the prince of Beiliang. He is also qualified to show off his power on Mount Wudang!"

Of course, Xu Fengnian is the reincarnation of the Great Emperor Zhenwu. Why can’t he show off his power in his own territory?

······
There are two Lotus Peaks, the Big Lotus Peak and the Small Lotus Peak, in front and behind Yuzhu Peak respectively. The Big Lotus Peak has more than ten caves and blessed places for retreat and cultivation, while the Small Lotus Peak, which has a cliff on one side, is tacitly owned by one person.

This man was taken to the mountains by the previous generation of Wudang Sect Leader when he was five years old and accepted as a secluded disciple. At a young age, he became a fellow disciple with the current generation of Sect Leader Wang Chonglou.

Among the thousands of Taoist priests in the Nine Palaces and Thirteen Temples of Wudang Mountain, most of them would respectfully address this young man as "Uncle Master". The younger ones would even call him "Grand Uncle Master".

Fortunately, this young ancestor never went down the mountain. He only saw the Xuanwu Dangxing Archway when he entered the mountain, and never got close to it again, not even a glance at it from afar. Most of the past twenty years have been spent either in Taiqing Palace on Yuzhu Peak or riding a green ox upside down with his crown upside down on the Big and Small Lotus Peaks. Those who were lucky enough to meet his true face went back and told others that his uncle had a very good temper, profound knowledge, and great elegance.

It was noisy at the mountain gate, but it was very quiet next to the Turtle Monument on the steep cliff of Xiaolianhua Peak.

A young Taoist priest with an elegant appearance was lying on the back of a stone turtle basking in the sun. He waved his hand and a green ox grazing in the distance came forward. There were several ancient Taoist books hanging on the horns of the ox. He took one and was about to read it, but he pinched his fingers, jumped off the turtle's back, found a dead branch, and drew densely packed Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches on the ground. His face changed slightly, and he kept talking to himself, and finally sighed heavily.

He carefully adjusted the sleeves and collar of his Taoist robe, climbed onto the cow, rode it upside down, hung the book on its horn, and went down the Little Lotus Peak, half chanting and half singing, "Straight as a string, dying on the road. Curved as a hook, being crowned a marquis. Who drags his tail on the way, who leaves his bones in the hall..."

After leaving the Little Lotus Peak, he released the Green Ox and carefully took down a volume of Taoist texts, which contained the cover of "The Song of the Great Dao of Lingyuan". He read it with great interest as he walked and headed straight for the foot of Mount Wudang.

Occasionally, a Taoist priest would stop on the road and call him uncle or great-uncle, and he would greet them with a smile. He was quite approachable.

Everyone just felt that this young senior was really diligent, worthy of being the great uncle who had annotated countless ancient seal manuscripts in Yuqing Palace. No wonder the head master praised him by saying "he will shoulder the responsibility of both martial arts and Taoism in the world."

Little did they know that this great uncle-master with an excellent reputation was currently reading with shining eyes an erotic novel that was most despised by Taoists, but it only had the cover of "Song of the Great Dao of Lingyuan" pasted on it.

The Taoist read a page over and over again, because he couldn't bear to part with it. This was the only supreme classic on the mountain, and it was borrowed from the ill-intentioned prince. Near the foot of the mountain, he read a page over and over again dozens of times, and then put it away with a feeling of unsatisfaction, and said with a righteous face:

"Even if I get beaten black and blue by you, I will never return this book!"

Shang Yi, who saw the Taoist's words and actions through his divine eyes, laughed softly:

"This Taoist priest is interesting. He is indeed the reincarnation of the legendary Lu Zu who has many romantic relationships with him!"

Hearing this, Meng Qi asked curiously:

"The Taoist priest riding a green bull that Master Xu just mentioned is the reincarnation of the legendary Lu Zu?"

Ruan Yushu, Nangong Pushe and others on the side, and even Xu Fengnian in front, all pricked up their ears.

Shang Yi smiled and said:
"Yes, Lu Zu waited for a red dress, so he passed through the Heavenly Gate but didn't enter. He was reincarnated as Qi Xuanzhen of Wudang a hundred years ago. Unfortunately, he didn't wait for the red dress, so he passed through the Heavenly Gate again but didn't enter. He was reincarnated as Hong Xixiang today!
This time he did wait for the woman in red, but he had not yet awakened. If he went down the mountain rashly, he would inevitably fall into the schemes of others, harming others and himself. This was why the head of Wudang made Hong Xixiang swear not to go down the mountain until he became the best in the world!

After all, there are so many martial arts sects. If nothing else, Longhu Mountain does not want to see Wudang Mountain rise again, so it will definitely find a way to deal with Hong Xixiang, the reincarnation of Lu Zu.

Moreover, in the past, Lu Zu passed through the gate of heaven but failed to enter, which caused the guardian deity of the gate of heaven to be punished and demoted to the human world. Although this guardian deity was only a gatekeeper in heaven, he was almost invincible in the human world, so how could he not cause trouble for Lu Zu's reincarnation? "

Xu Fengnian turned around and looked at Shang Yi, and said:

"Is this the reason why Hong Xixiang didn't come down the mountain!?"

At this time, Xu Fengnian had already vaguely guessed who the so-called red-dressed person was. Wasn't it his elder sister Xu Zhihu who married far away in Jiangnan?
No wonder my sister fell in love with this Taoist priest at first sight when she went to Wudang Mountain. It turned out that they were destined to be together in their previous life!

Shang Yi smiled and said:
“Feng Nian, my business building has only been in the Central Plains for a few short years, but we were able to guess who the man in red was. Do you think the immortal from the Liyang Imperial Observatory and Longhu Mountain couldn’t figure it out?

It would be fine if Hong Xixiang didn't go down the mountain, but if he did, that would be the day Hongyi would die!

Even if Hong Xixiang awakens and regains all of Lu Zu's strength, they will kill Hong Yi and force Hong Xixiang to escort Hong Yi to heaven. This will not only eliminate Lu Zu's reincarnation and make Wudang Mountain hopeless, but also cut off a major support for Beiliang, killing two birds with one stone!"

Xu Fengnian's heart sank when he heard this. He thought of the White Clothes Case of the past. Could it be that the Liyang Dynasty was planning to have another Red Clothes Case in Jiangnan? ?
The more he thought about it, the more murderous intent Xu Fengnian felt, and the rage he felt naturally grew stronger!
Xu Fengnian, who was sitting high on his horse, saw the familiar figure hiding in the corner of Yuqing Palace and poking his head out. The man shrank back when he saw His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. Xu Fengnian raised his whip and shouted angrily:
"You bull rider! If you keep hiding, I will bring my men to raze Taiqing Palace to the ground and throw you and the Turtle Camel Stele down to the Little Lotus Peak!
The most promising young Taoist priest in Wudang Mountain in the past hundred years appeared timidly in everyone's sight. He stopped far away from the Beiliang Iron Cavalry, bowed his head, and said with a smile on his face: "I greet His Highness the Crown Prince." (End of this chapter)
