Apprenticeship at Qingcheng Mountain, Senior Brother Yu Canghai

Chapter 245 He is only sixteen years old!
"Master said that a Grandmaster is someone who practices the martial arts he has learned to the limit and is able to innovate."

Fu Jun'er did not hide it from Chu Yuan and told him what her master Fu Cailin had told her about what a master was.

"Among the three great masters in the world, my master Fu Cailin is known as the "Master of Yijian" and is famous for his original "Yijianshu". His martial arts combine the essence of martial arts from the Central Plains, the Western Regions and Goryeo. He was the first to integrate the art of playing Go into swordsmanship and created the Yijianshu. Master's Yijianshu is characterized by "speed" and "anticipating the enemy's moves". Because of this, Master is recognized as one of the three great martial arts masters in the world."

After a pause, Fu Jun'er continued.

"With the characteristics of 'speed' and 'anticipating the enemy's moves', it sounds somewhat similar to 'Nine Swords of Dugu'."

Chu Yuan said secretly in his heart.

However, Chu Yuan knew that as a martial arts skill from the middle martial arts world, "Yi Sword Technique" should be more powerful than "Nine Swords of Dugu".

Of course, this only means that there are two sword techniques in two different worlds corresponding to different levels of power.

In the world of Smiling Proud Wanderer that he experienced, the "Nine Swords of Dugu" performed by Feng Qingyang and Linghu Chong was extremely powerful, but the person who created this sword technique should be the Sword Demon Dugu Qiubai.

If such an invincible character were placed in the world of the Tang Dynasty, the "Nine Swords of Dugu" by the sword demon Dugu Qiubai would most likely be stronger than the "Yi Sword Technique" created by Korean master Fu Cailin.

It is the world that limits the strength of the Sword Demon.

But this is just Chu Yuan's personal guess.

After all, it has been nearly three years since Chu Yuan awakened his memory, and according to the world information he has collected, this world is only the Tang Dynasty world, not the Zongwu world.

These thoughts flashed through Chu Yuan's mind, and Chu Yuan continued to ask Fu Jun'er: "What about the other two masters?"

Fu Jun'er said:

"The other two grandmasters are Ning Daoqi, whose Taoist name is 'Sanren', and Bi Xuan, whose nickname is 'Wu Zun'."

"Speaking of which, this Ning Daoqi is the number one expert in your Central Plains Taoism. He is famous for his "Sanshou Bapu" and is known as "the number one person in Central Plains". However, although he is a Taoist, he is not close to Taoism. Instead, he is very close to Buddhism."

As she spoke, Fu Jun'er observed Chu Yuan's expression.

I have to admit that Taoism is full of talented people.

First there was the "wanderer" Ning Daoqi, and then there appeared a "Qingyang Taoist" Chu Yuan.

Taoist Chu Yuan from Qingyang, who is only sixteen years old, not only created many martial arts by himself, but also founded the Qingcheng Sect, a huge Taoist sect. He practiced the "Eternal Life Secret" which is said to be passed down by Guangchengzi, the teacher of Emperor Huangdi. It is said that after practicing it, one can achieve immortality and break through the void.

Before, she had regarded Chu Yuan as a descendant of Grandmaster "Sanren" Ning Daoqi.

Now it seems that the two have nothing to do with each other.

According to Chu Yuan's age and talent, if nothing unexpected happens, Chu Yuan may become the fourth grandmaster in the world in the near future.

Although Fu Jun'er had been recuperating in her room these days and had hardly gone out, as a Goryeo assassin, she had inadvertently collected a lot of information about Chu Yuan and the Qingcheng Sect.

Chu Yuan's heart moved when he heard this. Speaking of it, the reason why those old Taoist priests on Qingcheng Mountain supported him to establish the Qingcheng Sect.

It's because he can't stand Ning Daoqi, but he can't do anything about Ning Daoqi.

Moreover, Ning Daoqi is the representative of the Northern Taoism. The group of old Taoists on Qingcheng Mountain want to make him the representative of the Southern Taoism to restrain the Northern Taoism.

After all, in terms of origin, Qingcheng Mountain has many legends such as Ning Fengzi and Tianshi Zhang Daoling, which is not inferior to other famous mountains of Taoism in China.

It is not an exaggeration to call it the number one Taoist mountain in Central Earth.

Chu Yuan asked again: "Where is that "Martial Master" Bi Xuan?"

Fu Jun'er said: "'Martial Master' Bi Xuan is a general of DTZ, the best fighter in the desert grassland. He is invincible on the grassland and looks down on everyone. He, Ning Daoqi and my master are known as the "Three Great Martial Arts Masters in the World". Bi Xuan's unique skill is the "Yan Yang Miraculous Skill". There are not many records of him fighting with others, so I don't know more information about him."

Chu Yuan was not surprised to see that Fu Jun'er didn't know much about Ning Daoqi and Bi Xuan, and was not as good as his master Fu Cailin.

After all, apart from his disciples, no one would publicize the characteristics of his martial arts.

This might allow others to find your martial arts weaknesses and deal with you more easily, even a master is no exception.

Knowing what he wanted, Chu Yuan ruthlessly drove Fu Jun'er away: "Okay, I have finished asking you questions, you can leave."

Fu Jun'er opened her beautiful eyes wide, with a look of disbelief, and pointed at herself with her white and tender jade fingers: "You're letting me leave now?"

Chu Yuan asked back: "What else?"

Fu Jun'er looked at Chu Yuan, her eyes full of inquiry. Before coming here, she thought she would have to pay something!
Although she was an assassin, she was prepared to give up some things for the country before leaving Goryeo.

Moreover, when Chu Yuan was in that dilapidated temple before, he had clearly stated that he was proficient in the art of dual cultivation between men and women.

Even the Holy Maiden of the Yinkui Sect, a demonic sect with ulterior motives, did not dare to respond to him.

Fu Jun'er is very confident about her appearance.

Apart from the two most beautiful saints from Cihang Jingzhai and Yinkui Sect, there should be few other women in the world who can compare with her. But Chu Yuan just let her go like that?
However, when Fu Jun'er saw Chu Yuan's childish face, she couldn't help but smile.

Fu Jun'er suddenly realized that she had been overthinking before.

Because according to the information she had obtained, Chu Yuan's real age this year is not yet sixteen years old.

But because he had mastered the "Secret of Immortality" that no one had mastered for thousands of years, and defeated Yu Wenzhi first and then defeated herself, she always couldn't help but ignore his age.

Fu Jun'er then stood up and said, "Then I'm leaving!"

Seeing that Fu Jun'er was about to walk out the door, Chu Yuan called out, "Wait."

Fu Jun'er stopped and turned around and asked, "What else do you want to say?"

Chu Yuan said: "Let me remind you that you are my prisoner now. Although I allow you to send messages to Goryeo, you cannot leave the mountain at will. You cannot escape because I have cut off your true energy."

Fu Jun'er said indifferently: "I know."

She had given up the idea of ​​escaping on her own and was fully prepared.

Before finding the method to crack Chu Yuan's "Intercepting Pulse Method", he never thought of escaping on his own.

Since Chu Yuan allowed her to send a letter to Goryeo, if she really couldn't escape, she could only write a letter to her master and ask her master to go north to Middle-earth to pick her up.

Although Chu Yuan is powerful, once the master, who is a master, takes action, he will definitely be defeated.

However, her master Fu Cailin was the only grandmaster of Goryeo and held a high status. She did not want to trouble her master unless it was absolutely necessary.

Fu Jun'er was about to leave, but she suddenly stopped and said, "
"Master, the reason why you brought me back to Qingcheng Sect and interrogated me about the Grandmaster is nothing more than to make plans for a breakthrough to become a Grandmaster in the future. Now the grassland, Goryeo, and Great Sui all have a Grandmaster, which can form a perfect balance. But now that Great Sui and Goryeo are hostile, I will not sit idly by and watch another Grandmaster of Great Sui break this balance."

"If you agree to let me pass on the message to Goryeo, I will write a letter to ask my master to get rid of you and nip this threat in the bud, unless you kill me now."

Fu Jun'er looked at Chu Yuan without fear, as if she was ready to die.

She had already seen through Chu Yuan's purpose in forcing her to reveal the Grandmaster's information.

Hearing Fu Jun'er's words, Chu Yuan smiled slightly: "Then how do you know that there are no other masters behind me?"

Chu Yuan looked at Fu Jun'er and said, "Your master Fu Cailin has repeatedly led the righteous army to fight against Yang Guang's invasion, and thus became a national hero of Goryeo. At the same time, he is also the only grandmaster of Goryeo now. If you let him come to the Central Plains, if anything unexpected happens, it will be an irreparable disaster and loss for you Goryeo, right? Although the three grandmasters in the world are the three most powerful martial artists in the world, it does not mean that they are invincible."

When Fu Jun'er heard Chu Yuan's words, a trace of horror flashed in her eyes: "You are indeed related to the "Sanren" Ning Daoqi!"

Chu Yuan just looked at Fu Jun'er with a smile and kept silent.

Seeing that Chu Yuan stopped talking, Fu Jun'er could only leave with full of questions.

"Grandmaster!"

After Fu Jun'er left, Chu Yuan looked through the door at the sea of ​​clouds in the sky outside the house, and he let out a long sigh.

Speaking of him now, it would be a lie to say that he is not worried about the Grandmaster.

And what he just said only made Fu Jun'er unable to figure out his true intentions.

As for Fu Jun'er, she wanted to pass her news back to Goryeo, so that her master, "Master Yijian" Fu Cailin, could take action to eliminate him in the bud...

nonexistent.

He would never let such a thing happen that would put himself in danger.

Although he promised Fu Jun'er that he would let her send news back to Goryeo, the news had to be read by himself and agreed to be sent back.

This kind of news that is dangerous to oneself cannot be sent out at all.

As for the time when he can be sent back, he may be close to the master, or even become the master.

It’s still uncertain who the prey will be at that time!

He might just be in a good mood and want to kill a Korean master to liven up the atmosphere.

Moreover, what he promised Fu Jun'er was not considered as going back on his word.

"I hope she won't be so unwise."

Chu Yuan said in his heart.

Next…

Chu Yuan sent someone to call his senior brother Kunyang and explained the matter concerning Fu Jun'er to him.

He began to retreat and practice the "Secret of Immortality".

Since the Grandmaster's deterrent power is so strong, why can't he become the Grandmaster? A real man should be like this, and he can take his place!
His supporter is himself.

……

When Chu Yuan was in seclusion practicing the "Eternal Life Secret".

Yu Wenzhi spent more than a month planning and finally returned to Yang Guang's temporary palace in Jiangdu to ask for an audience with Yang Guang when he felt he had laid the groundwork.

"General Yuwen, I have informed His Majesty. You may come in."

A middle-aged eunuch in crimson clothes walked out of the palace in small steps and said to Yu Wenzhi, who had been waiting outside for an hour and was dressed neatly.

Yu Wenzhi listened attentively to the noises in the palace, and could only hear the sounds of Yang Guang and his concubines and beauties playing, as well as the sounds of orchestral music.

"Eunuch Cao, how does His Majesty feel now?"

Yu Wenzhi asked about Yang Guang's news.

The reason why the other party called him General Yuwen was because he was the General of the Right Tunwei Guard and the Governor-General of the Capital, so it was not wrong for the other party to call him General.

Those who can serve the emperor are all smart people.

As soon as I heard what Yu Wenzhi said, I guessed why Yu Wenzhi wanted to know about this matter.

In addition, he usually maintained a good relationship with Yu Wenzhi, and Yu Wenzhi often gave him gifts. This eunuch Cao immediately said:
"General Yuwen wants to ask His Majesty what your attitude is towards the general's failure in finding the Secret of Immortality, right?"

Yu Wenzhi nodded: "Not bad, I hope that Eunuch Cao can give me some advice."

As he spoke, he reached into his left sleeve with his right hand, wanting to take out some reward money to give to the other party.

But he found that he came in a hurry to see the emperor and had no money with him, which made him look a little embarrassed.

"I came in a hurry and didn't bring any reward money with me. Please forgive me, Eunuch Cao. I will make it up to you next time." Yu Wenzhi bowed and apologized.

"General Yuwen, you are joking. There is no need to be so formal about our relationship." Eunuch Cao spoke up and resolved Yuwen Huaji's embarrassment.

Not to mention maintaining the connection with Yu Wenzhi, just the power of the Yu Wen clan in the court was what he needed. He wanted to be on good terms with Yu Wenzhi, so how could he offend the other party for a little profit!

"In fact, when His Majesty first learned that General Yuwen had messed up his job, he was indeed very angry and smashed a lot of things. However, after such a long time, His Majesty's anger has long subsided. A few days ago, His Majesty was still worried about General Yuwen's injury. General Yuwen's injury should be fine, right?"

Eunuch Cao asked Yu Wenzhi.

"After recuperating for a while, I'm basically fine now, but that person's 'Eternal Life Secret' Qi is weird, like a maggot on the tarsal bone. Fortunately, my uncle Yuwen Shang helped me force out the 'Eternal Life Secret' Qi."

Yu Wenzhi said with a somewhat unpleasant expression.

The Qi from Taoist Qingyang's "Secret of Immortality" that remained in his body had tortured him greatly during this period.

If it weren't for his uncle Yuwen Shang who was in Luoyang, who rushed from Luoyang after learning of his injury and helped him force out the remaining "Eternal Life" true qi in his body, he might have suffered an incurable illness.

"Master Yuwen is indeed the world's top expert with unparalleled martial arts skills. With Master Yuwen taking action, there will be no mistakes. Congratulations to General Yuwen for turning danger into safety."

Cao Nei Shi said.

"I'm lucky to have survived." Yu Wenzhi felt that the time was almost up, and said to Cao Nei Shi: "Don't keep His Majesty waiting, let's go in."

"Look at my head, General Yuwen, please."

Eunuch Cao led the way in front.

Yu Wenzhi followed Eunuch Cao into the palace where Yang Guang lived.

After entering, Yu Wenzhi, who was originally in a nervous mood, discovered that a group of twelve dancers in cool clothes with wide sleeves and skirts were dancing a graceful, half-elegant and half-vulgar dance in the palace.

Beside them there are ten musicians holding musical instruments such as bells, chimes, harps, and zithers, playing beautiful music.

The Sui Emperor Yang Guang, a man of tall stature, was wearing a red and yellow robe with dragon pattern and a crown on his head. He was sitting on a Luohan bed, holding a beautiful girl in cool gauze in his arms. He held the soft girl in one hand and a wine pot filled with fine imperial wine in the other. He took a sip from time to time and watched the dance in front of him with great interest, as if he was enjoying it so much that he didn't want to leave.

No one noticed Yu Wenzhi's arrival.

When Yu Wenzhi saw this scene, he breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that his previous decision was correct.

Although he messed up the job, after his actions, and the fact that he came to see Yang Guang more than a month later under the pretext of recuperating from his injuries, Yang Guang's anger had basically dissipated.

"Your Majesty, General Yuwen is here."

Eunuch Cao brought Yu Wenzhi to Yang Guang and bowed to him.

"Lord Yuwen is here?"

Yang Guang woke up as if from a dream and glanced at the eunuch Cao in front of him.

Eunuch Cao understood and immediately turned around and shouted to the musicians and dancers, "Stop!"

Then the music and dancing in the palace came to an abrupt halt.

Eunuch Cao waved his hand, and all the musicians and dancers in the palace left in an orderly manner.

The concubine in Yang Guang's arms originally wanted to leave, but was stopped by Yang Guang's eyes. The concubine could only continue to lie in Yang Guang's arms obediently.

For a moment, only Yang Guang, Yu Wenzhi, Eunuch Cao and Xiu Nu were left in the hall.

Yu Wenzhi immediately knelt down and kowtowed to Yang Guang: "Your Majesty, I have failed to do my job well and failed to complete the task assigned by Your Majesty. Please punish me!"

"If you really wanted me to punish you, you wouldn't have come now."

However, Yang Guang saw through Yu Wenzhi's trick at a glance and exposed him mercilessly.

Yu Wenzhi was immediately startled, but Yu Wenzhi came at the right time. Yang Guang was in a good mood at the moment and did not embarrass Yu Wenzhi too much. He looked at Yu Wenzhi kneeling on the ground and said, "Get up, my dear Yu Wen. I heard that you were injured. How is your injury?"

Yu Wenzhi said: "The Taoist Qingyang's "Eternal Life Secret" is very difficult to deal with. It is exactly the opposite of my "Mysterious Ice Power". It restrains my mysterious ice true energy. Fortunately, my uncle helped to force it out, otherwise I would be in great danger this time."

Naturally, he tried to describe his own situation as tragic as possible in order to win Yang Guang's sympathy.

Yang Guang said: "Since it is Patriarch Yuwen who is taking action, it should be foolproof."

Speaking of which, Yuwen Shang is the head of the Yuwen clan and the uncle of Yuwen Huaji.

He has unparalleled martial arts skills. It is said that he and the head of the Lingnan Song family, "Heavenly Sword" Song Que, are both masters who are closest to becoming masters. In recent years, he has already devoted himself to practicing martial arts and has not been involved in officialdom.

The fact that Yuwen Shang was able to take action shows that the injuries Yuwen Huaji suffered during his trip to Yangzhou must have been serious.

Yang Guang then asked Yu Wenhuaji: "My dear Yu Wen, is the Taoist who has mastered the Secret of Immortality really so strong?"

Yu Wenzhi nodded and said, "Very strong. I am no match for him. He looks young, but he is already a master. His martial arts skills are beyond my reach."

Yang Guang thought of something, and his eyes became a little excited: "Your Majesty Yuwen's martial arts are considered to be a master among all the innate masters in the Jianghu, but he can't even beat a small Taoist priest. It seems that the rumors are probably true. Maybe the "Eternal Life Secret" can really make the practitioner immortal. I must get this "Eternal Life Secret"."

Suppressing the surprise in his heart, Yang Guang's eyes fell on Yu Wenzhi again: "How is the investigation of the news about Qingyang Taoist and Qingcheng Sect going?"

Yu Wenzhi knew that this was an opportunity given by His Majesty to redeem himself with meritorious service, and he had indeed prepared these things before meeting Yang Guang.

"Your Majesty, according to my humble investigation, this Taoist Qingyang's real name is Chu Yuan. He is a Taoist from Qingcheng Mountain in Shu. Originally, there were only three people in this Taoist temple: him, his master, and his senior brother. Qingcheng Mountain is a famous Taoist mountain. It has produced immortals such as Ning Fengzi and Tianshi Zhang Daoling who are said to have ascended to heaven."

"Originally, there were no powerful martial arts sects or traditions on Qingcheng Mountain. However, about three years ago, Qingyang Taoist Chu Yuan suddenly showed amazing martial arts talent. He created many martial arts and taught them to the Taoists on the mountain and the people at the foot of the mountain."

"With the support of the Taoist priests on the mountain and the common people below the mountain, he founded the Qingcheng Sect and became the head of the Qingcheng Sect."

"Later, Taoist Qingyang got the news of the "Eternal Life Secret" from somewhere, and suddenly came down the mountain three years ago. After arriving in Yangzhou, he persuaded Shilong to give him the "Eternal Life Secret" as a gift."

"It was during this period that Taoist Qingyang Chu Yuan mastered the Art of Immortality. I even suspect that the reason why Shi Long, who was originally only a first-rate master, broke through and became an innate master was because of this Taoist Qingyang."

Yu Wenzhi told Yang Guang about the detailed information he had found out about Chu Yuan.

Although Chu Yuan's origins are somewhat unclear.

But once those in power use state power to investigate someone, no individual will have any privacy at all.

Besides, Chu Yuan had never taken the initiative to conceal his origins.

So Yu Wenzhi made a general investigation into the origins of Chu Yuan and the Qingcheng Sect.

"He created many martial arts by himself. He was born in a famous Taoist mountain with legends of immortals and founded a sect. It seems that he is extremely talented. No wonder he was able to master the 'Eternal Life Secret', one of the four great books in the world, which has not been mastered for thousands of years."

Yang Guang frowned and said thoughtfully.

"Oh, I forgot to tell Your Majesty that this Qingyang Taoist Chu Yuan is very young."

Yu Wenzhi continued.

"How young?"

Yang Guang asked.

"He is only sixteen years old this year, not yet seventeen."

Yu Wenhua and Tao.

"Your Majesty..."

The concubine's cry, which was slightly coquettish and painful, woke Yang Guang up.
