The Proof of the Heavens Begins with The Legend of the Condor Heroes

Chapter 874 Towards Zhulu Mountain

King Jing'an Zhao Heng was a man who could take it or leave it. When Wang Mingyin's assassination attempt failed, he immediately showed up and negotiated with Fang Hao.

After a conversation with hidden daggers in between smiles, Prince Jing'an left behind half of the wooden ox and horse and a sword manual left by Wang Xianzhi in his early years, and left.

The conflict between Fang Hao and Prince Jing'an was also wiped out on the surface.

"Senior, this is for you!" Fang Hao threw the half of the wooden ox and horse to Li Chungang.

Li Chungang saw his old sword and said with deep emotion: "I wonder how many people in the world know about wooden oxen and horses."

"When Senior Li returns to the fairyland on earth, everyone in the world will know the charm of the wooden ox and horse." Fang Hao said.

After hearing this, Li Chungang laughed and said, "I'm borrowing your good words!"

Fang Hao continued, "By the way, what do you think of this sword manual left by Wang Xianzhi?"

"It can be regarded as the culmination of Wang Xianzhi's skills. Unfortunately, after this old guy became the best in the world, he no longer sticks to the moves. Each move has the great power to turn decay into magic. The so-called no moves are better than moves, this is probably the reason." Li Chungang said.

"What Senior Li said makes sense, but as long as I have the opportunity to get a glimpse of the secrets of Wang Xianzhi's early martial arts, I have to accept this great gift from Zhao Heng," Fang Hao said.

It has to be said that King Jing'an Zhao Heng is indeed an old fox. When he failed to kill Fang Hao, he used Wang Xianzhi's sword manual to calm Fang Hao's anger. He is indeed a good person.

"Where are we going next?" Li Chungang asked.

"Go to Hu Ting County on Jiangnan Road. My eldest sister married into the Lu family in Yangchun City. I want to go see her." Fang Hao said.

On this trip, I will pass through Jiangnan Road, Longhu Mountain and Shangyin Academy.

This time when he went to Wudi City, Fang Hao planned to visit his two sisters and good brother Xu Longxiang one by one.

"Lu family? It seems that there is a young man in their family who practices sword. He learned from Yang Yuzhang, a general whom I defeated, and he is quite good at using sword." Li Chungang said thoughtfully.

"If Tangxi Sword Master Lu Baijie knew how you evaluated him, that he is just a good swordsman, I wonder what your evaluation would be?" Fang Hao joked.

"Has this kid's cultivation reached the celestial realm? How dare he call himself a sword immortal?" Li Chungang asked.

"Lu Baijie has probably only reached the Profound Realm of cultivation." Fang Hao told the truth.

"Zhixuan Realm? The title of Sword Immortal is wasted." Li Chungang said with disdain.

"By the way, senior, I don't plan to take the Guangling River on this trip to Jiangnan." Fang Hao said.

"If you don't want to take the water route, do you plan to take the land route?" Li Chungang asked.

"Senior Li is right. I really want to take the land route, change the route to Zhulu Mountain, and then enter Huting County via Xiangwei River." Fang Hao replied.

"Zhulu Mountain?" Li Chungang hesitated for a moment and said, "Are you attracted by the luck of the Demon Sect?"

Zhulu Mountain is the headquarters of the Demon Cult.

In the snowy world, there are Taoism, Buddhism, Confucianism, and magic. When the Zhulu Mountain Demon Cult was at its most powerful, it was said to have 30,000 followers and many heroes, and it could even compete with any small country in the Spring and Autumn Period.

Sixty years ago in the martial arts world, six celestial demons emerged from the Zhulu Mountain Demon Cult. They either ate people's hearts and livers as drinking materials, or took yin to replenish yang, or killed entire families in the blink of an eye.

The mighty power of the devil can stop a child from crying. It is so majestic that people in the martial arts world are terrified when they mention the devil sect.

The reason why Zhulu Mountain is named "Zhulu" is that it means that when a deer is lost in the world, all the heroes will chase it together. It can be seen that his ambition is not only in the rivers and lakes, but also to get his hands on the world.

When the six great demons led countless followers of the Demon Sect and swept across the world, Qi Xuanzhen, the former head of Longhu Mountain, appeared out of nowhere and single-handedly killed the six great demons on the Demon-Slaying Platform.

The Demonic Cult, which was once at its peak, has now become unable to recover, with its forces retreating to Zhuolu Mountain, having completely lost the capital it once had to dominate the world.

However, a lean camel is still bigger than a horse. Although the Zhulu Mountain Demon Cult has completely declined, its luck is still there. The remaining luck of the Demon Cult, coupled with the dragon energy of the Zhulu Mountain's underground veins, is also a force that cannot be underestimated.

Fang Hao practices the art of luck and is determined to obtain the luck in Zhulu Mountain. "My parents gave me life, and Senior Li knows me." Fang Hao chuckled and said, "Ever since the disappearance of Liu Songtao, the leader of the previous Demon Cult, the various factions of Zhulu Mountain have been acting on their own, and it has long become a mess. I am to blame for not taking the luck that God has given me."

"You kid, you are so shameless to rob other people's luck and make such high-sounding statements." Li Chungang shook his head.

"There's nothing I can do about it. It's a family heirloom." Fang Hao waved his hand.

Li Chungang smiled helplessly. Under Fang Hao's instructions, the Beiliang group changed their route to Zhulu Mountain and headed east.

……

Liangchan Temple, Thousand Buddha Hall

The white-robed monk Li Dangxin sat cross-legged. He casually drew seventeen Go chess lines on the ground with his fingers, then gently placed a piece down and looked towards the temple door, as if waiting for someone to arrive.

The floor inside the Thousand Buddha Hall is carefully paved with diamond, a special stone material, and people call it the "Vajra Surface".

Generally speaking, even if a martial arts master chops with all his might with a magic weapon, it is difficult to leave the slightest mark on it. However, Li Dangxin can casually draw a chessboard on the surface of the Vajra Realm, which shows how powerful his skills are and how strong his physique is.

"Since you are here, how about playing a game of hands with me?" Li Dangxin said in a deep voice.

The hall was still empty and silent, as if Li Dangxin had seen it wrong.

Li Dangxin frowned and stretched out his hand. More than ten white chess pieces flew up and hung in the air. Li Dangxin gently waved his cassock, and these chess pieces shot out like a storm and hit the other side of the hall.

However, under the dim light, on the other side of the Thousand Buddha Hall, it seemed as if a dark monster that could devour everything swallowed up all the chess pieces that Li Dangxin had casually swept out.

Immediately afterwards, accompanied by the sounds of "pop! pop! pop!", the chess pieces shot out from the darkness one by one and smashed towards Li Dangxin who was sitting cross-legged on the ground.

This was a scholar in a simple blue shirt with a leisurely demeanor and elegant manners. As he moved forward step by step, the fifteen chess pieces in his hand were ejected one by one with every move, following him like a shadow and attacking Li Dangxin.

This white-robed monk who drank wine, ate meat and had a wife, stood firm and unmoved. He used his diamond physique to forcefully withstand the fierce attack from the green-robed scholar.

However, the Buddha statues in the Thousand Buddha Hall could not withstand the aftermath of the attack. The Arhat statues all shook, and the sight of them swinging back and forth was particularly terrifying.

"Boom!"

When the scholar in green shirt played the last chess piece, but still could not hurt Li Dangxin at all, he smiled and said, "It turns out that no one in the world can break your diamond realm."

"That's only Master Cao's Fifteen Fingers Mystery. How about you try using the Celestial Realm?" Li Dangxin said casually.

This scholar in blue is none other than Cao Changqing, the "invincible official", a Confucian master who is ranked among the top three in the martial arts evaluation list in the snowy world.

"The Tuoba Bodhisattva who is known as the number one in Beimang can't break your Vajra Realm. I'd better not embarrass myself." Cao Changqing sat down in front of Li Dangxin and casually placed a black piece.

Li Dianxin asked: "What do you want to do by coming to see me this time?"

"I have found Princess Taiping, and I would like to ask you to help me conceal the secret." Cao Changqing said.

"After so many years, you still want to restore the country?" Li Dangxin couldn't help shaking his head and said, "Xu Xiao and Gu Jiantang are not dead, and the five princes are still there. The so-called restoration of the country is just a foolish dream."

Cao Changqing stood up, bowed deeply to Li Dangxin and said, "Please help me!"

Li Dangxin hesitated for a moment and said, "Forget it. I can only help you to keep the little princess of Xichu alive. As for the rest, I can't help you. You can only wish for the best."

"Thank you, Your Excellency!" Cao Changqing bowed again, turned around and walked towards the entrance of the secluded hall.

Li Dangxin looked at his friend who was going away and sighed. The demise of Western Chu was destiny. Even if it could be revived, it would only be a flash in the pan.

Cao Changqing was a scholar, so it was impossible for him not to understand this.

Knowing that it is impossible to do something but still doing it, this may be the way of Cao Changqing, the Confucian sage!
