Martial Arts World Assassin

Chapter 239 Zhuha and the Blessed Land

At nightfall, Zhong Ling rushed back to Wanjie Valley alone.

Huang Sixi searched for Duan Yu along Wuliang Mountain.

He searched until midnight, but did not find any human figure inside or outside Wuliang Mountain.

This mountain range was originally the headquarters of the Wuliang Sword Sect, but yesterday he entrusted the Tianshan Tonglao to go to the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun.

In order to gather enough manpower to do the work, the Child-Fairy of Tianshan should have subdued the Wuliang Sword Sect and then ordered the disciples of this sword sect to collectively set off northward, which led to the desertion of Wuliang Mountain.

At this moment, Huang Sixi was standing on a high cliff, looking at the surrounding environment.

He began to imagine what Duan Yu might have experienced.

Duan Yu was either imprisoned in the Wanjie Valley or being hunted outside the valley.

According to the experiences in the original novel "Tian Long Ba Bu", when Duan Yu traveled between Wanjie Valley and Wuliang Mountain, he might encounter four groups of enemies. The first group was the disciples of Wuliang Sect, the second group was the palace maids of Lingjiu, the third group was the four evil men, and the fourth group was the servants of Mantuo Villa.

Now that the Wuliang Sect disciples and the Lingjiu Palace maidens have all followed the Tianshan Child-Grandma and left, only the four evil men and the servants of Mantuo Villa may be able to intercept Duan Yu.

The journey from Wuliang Mountain to Wanjie Valley is more than twenty miles, and there are barren mountains and wilderness along the way.

If Duan Yu was really being hunted, Huang Sixi only needed to search the twenty-mile mountain road leading to Wanjie Valley, and he should be able to find Duan Yu's whereabouts.

However, before the search, Huang Sixi had to go to the Wuliang Yubi Cave in person.

The stars and the moon are bright tonight.

Under the high cliff where Huang Sixi is standing now, the brilliance of the infinite jade disk is reflected. The secluded cave of Wuyazi and Li Qiushui is just below the cliff.

Since Huang Sixi found this place, he must visit it.

He cut some vines nearby, hung them down the high cliff, fell down along the steep wall, and soon landed in a valley.

I saw a waterfall hanging on the left, pouring into a clear lake. The water in the lake was as smooth as a mirror. The diameter of the lake was three or four hundred feet, and the shore was full of wild camellia.

Huang Sixi has extraordinary skills. He can see at night and walk as smoothly in the dark as in the daytime.

He walked a mile along the lake shore and suddenly found rows of footprints on the ground.

Due to the splashing waterfalls, the land along the lakeshore is muddy all year round, and anyone walking on the shore will leave clues.

Huang Sixi checked the footprints, which must have been left a few days ago. He thought to himself, "These footprints must have been made by Duan Yu!"

Originally, Huang Sixi still held a glimmer of hope in his heart, perhaps Duan Yu missed the Wuliang Jade Bi Cave for some reason, but these footprints showed that Duan Yu still found this place several days ago.

However, even if Duan Yu took away the martial arts secrets, Huang Sixi would not have to return the same way.

He knew that there was a mountain path in the Wuliang Yubi Cave that led directly to the Canglan River outside the Wuliang Mountain.

Zhong Ling’s family’s Wanjie Valley was built on the bank of the Canglan River.

As long as Huang Sixi goes out from the cave mountain road, he can follow the Canglan River all the way to the entrance of Wanjie Valley.

He followed Duan Yu's footprints and soon reached the outside of the cave where the Wuliang Jade Disk lay.

In front of him was an oval rock as high as his chest, estimated to weigh more than a thousand pounds. Duan Yu had dug a groove under the rock, and he gave it a casual push, and the rock rolled to the side.

A three-foot-high cave appeared behind the stone.

The cave extends downward and reaches the end after dozens of steps. There stands a gate made of copper and iron. This gate is the gate of the Wuliang Yubi Cave.

Huang Sixi was about to enter when the electric marten on his shoulder suddenly squeaked.

"Huh? Did you find anything?"

Huang Sixi stopped immediately and paused from entering the cave.

He thought there was some movement in the cave, but the electric marten turned around and jumped, landed behind him, and actually ran towards the lake.

Huang Sixi immediately chased back.

After chasing for dozens of feet, he suddenly heard the strange roar of a wild beast, "Jiang Ang! Jiang Ang! Jiang Ang!". The roar was like that of a wild bull, full of momentum. Even the roar of a waterfall hitting the lake could not completely suppress the roar of the bull.

When Huang Sixi heard the cow mooing, a name popped into his mind: Manggu Zhuha!

He immediately shouted to the Lightning Marten, "Mite, don't go over there. You are no match for it!"

The lightning marten was eager to perform a meritorious service and wanted to catch an intruder for Huang Sixi, so it jumped in front of the intruder in the blink of an eye.

I saw a tiny toad lying on the mud ground more than 20 feet away from the lake shore. It was no more than two inches long, its body was bright red as blood, but its eyes were shining with golden light.

When the toad saw the electric marten rushing towards it, it opened its mouth and spit out a red mist, which it sprayed onto the electric marten. The electric marten, which was running at high speed, fell to the ground in an instant.

The lightning marten was very tough. In an instant it jumped up, leaped high, and pounced on the toad's back. It opened its mouth and tried to bite the toad to death.

As a result, when the electric marten jumped and landed at a height of about a foot above the toad, a strong wind suddenly came from behind, wrapped around it, and pulled it, and it flew backwards uncontrollably.

After flying back three or four feet, the Lightning Marten was caught in the palm of Huang Sixi's hand: "This toad is the king of all poisons, do you want to die?"

In the original book, the lightning marten pounced on Manggu Zhuha's back and bit him hard. Manggu Zhuha was unharmed, but the lightning marten was poisoned to death on the spot.

The bloodlines of these two beasts are separated by a level, and Manggu Zhuha can easily crush the lightning marten.

If the lightning marten was really bitten by Manggu Zhuha, even if Huang Sixi used the Red-Eyed Ice Toad, he could not guarantee that he could save the lightning marten's life.

Just now, the lightning marten was sprayed with red mist and red poison by Manggu Zhuha.

After the lightning marten came to Huang Sixi's palm, the red mist and red poison it had inhaled earlier began to take effect. It shook its head a few times and instantly fainted on Huang Sixi's palm.

The poison on its fur also seeped into Huang Sixi's flesh and blood through his palm.

The surface of Huang Sixi's palm turned black at a speed visible to the naked eye.

He himself also felt dizzy, and immediately circulated the Nine Yang Qi and Rama Qi together to force the poison into his palm to prevent it from spreading.

Then he took out two red-eyed ice toads, one attached to his palm and the other to the mink's body.

His body swayed again and he retreated several feet.

When Manggu Zhuha saw such a huge monster like Huang Sixi, he was frightened and wanted to escape into the lake for refuge, but when he saw Huang Sixi retreating, Manggu Zhuha thought that Huang Sixi was afraid of him, so he did not rush into the lake, but lay there, roaring triumphantly.

It opened its mouth, and the thin skin under its neck vibrated, expanding and contracting, just like a megaphone, making a thunderous roar. Its body was only two inches long, about the same length as Huang Sixi's finger, but it could roar louder than a giant bull. If Huang Sixi hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he would have found it unbelievable.

It howled and spewed out red mist, approaching Huang Sixi step by step, trying to poison Huang Sixi.

Huang Sixi was less than ten feet away from it. If he launched a flying sword at this time, he could kill it with one sword.

But Manggu Zhuha is the unique king of all poisons in the world. It roars like a bull, its body is scarlet, it has extraordinary talents, and it understands human nature well. Huang Sixi is reluctant to kill it and wants to tame it.

Huang Sixi refined the Glazed Poison Bead. The poison used in the bead is Ten Fragrance Softening Powder and Hallucinogenic Grass. Collecting the poison is very cumbersome. If Manggu Zhuha can be subdued, the poison can be collected continuously.

Huang Sixi's palm was only contaminated by the red mist and red poison of Manggu Zhuha. After using the Red Eyed Ice Toad to absorb it for a few moments, the red poison was completely removed.

Huang Sixi immediately flipped his hand, took out a flying sword, turned the tip of the sword upside down so that the handle faced outward, and swung his arm to throw it towards Manggu Zhuha.

This sword was only intended to stun Manggu Zhuha. Huang Sixi would definitely not use his full strength. The hilt of the sword was like a flying stone, smashing heavily on the clam's back.

Manggu Zhuha immediately felt upset.

It struggled for a while before turning over again. Knowing that Huang Sixi was powerful, it called out "Jiang Ang! Jiang Ang!" twice, turned its head and dived into the lake. But how could Huang Sixi give it a chance to escape?

Another flying sword shot out, blocking its retreat. This flying sword seemed to have eyes. It was originally shot in front of its head, but suddenly turned in mid-air and hit its head with a "bang!", hitting it so hard that it saw stars and staggered like a drunk.

Before it could steady itself, swords flew from both sides of it and attacked it from both sides. It fell to the ground and lost consciousness.

When it woke up again, it found itself trapped in a bag woven with silver wire. The mouth of the bag was tied tightly, and it could not escape no matter how hard it tried.

It was rushing around everywhere in a hurry.

At this moment, a finger suddenly stretched out from the bag, pointed at its body through the bag, and a stream of true energy seeped in.

After the true energy entered its body, it felt warm all over and felt very comfortable, and it immediately calmed down.

The silver silk bag it lives in is now hanging around Huang Sixi's waist.

The true energy it absorbs is naturally the Rama true energy used by Huang Sixi.

Huang Sixi noticed that it had become obedient, smiled slightly, retracted his finger, and thought to himself: "This toad is too poisonous. Anyone bitten by it will turn into a pool of pus and blood in an instant. To be cautious, I'd better imprison it for a while. When it can no longer leave Rama's true energy, it won't be too late to release it!"

Even though Huang Sixi has supernatural powers to protect him, he is still afraid of the poison of Manggu Zhuha and is unwilling to face it for the time being. He wants to wait until he has tamed it for several months before slowly coming into contact with it.

Huang Sixi thought again: "In the original Tian Long novel, Duan Yu swallowed Mang Gu Zhu Ha alive, turned Mang Gu Zhu Ha into a ball of true energy, and dispersed it in his meridians, thus becoming a physique that is immune to all poisons. But I don't need to pursue this kind of physique. After I get familiar with Mang Gu Zhu Ha, I can ask it to help me find detoxifying herbs. In the future, I can use medicine to wash my body and still achieve the effect of being immune to all poisons!"

He knew very well that everything in the world has its own nemesis. The place where Manggu Zhuha was born must have herbs that can neutralize the clam poison. As long as he found these herbs, he would be able to find a way to remove the poison.

After that, Huang Sixi continued to remove the red mist and vermilion poison from the lightning marten.

By dawn, the ferret had recovered.

Only then did Huang Sixi enter the Wuliang Jade Bi Cave.

After he stepped into the cave gate, he first came to the main hall. After pushing open a stone door, he entered Li Qiu Shui's former dressing room.

There is a crystal-carved window inlaid on the wall on one side of the stone chamber, and outside the window is the lake. At this moment, the sky is already bright, and the sunlight shines in through the window, creating a unique colorful beauty.

The stone door on the other side leads to the statue of the Fairy Sister Duan Yu. However, the scrolls containing "Northern Divine Art" and "Lingbo Weibu" at the feet of the statue had been taken away by Duan Yu a few days ago.

Huang Sixi passed through the moon-shaped door of the stone chamber and went to the bridal chamber where Wuyazi and Li Qiushui had their daily entertainment.

Huang Sixi found a seven-stringed harp and a chessboard here.

All the strings of the lyre have broken.

There are more than two hundred chess pieces scattered on the chessboard, in a state of black and white confrontation.

Huang Sixi discovered that a line of inscription appeared on the seven-stringed zither: "A famous relic: Complete the strings and play the dazzling sound again, you can control and crack the 'Sound Transmission and Soul Searching Technique'!"

Huang Sixi had already understood the secret method of transmitting sound.

However, the 'Sound Transmission and Soul Searching Technique' is on a higher level. This technique uses profound inner strength to send out spoken words. The sound can penetrate walls and other obstacles and directly reach the target's ears.

Transmitting sound into secret is just an ordinary martial art of transmitting sound.

The 'Sound Transmission and Soul Searching Technique' is aggressive in nature. Once the sound is emitted, it can disturb the target's mind.

However, Huang Sixi felt that this method was dispensable and it didn't matter whether one practiced it or not.

He thought to himself: "Now that I have come to this cave and encountered this relic of a famous person, I should keep it. When I have time in the future, I can complete the string. It won't take up much of my energy!"

Thinking of this, he took the lyre from the wall, wrapped it in coarse cloth, and carried it on his back.

Look at the chessboard below the lyre.

There are more than 200 chess pieces on the board. On one of the black pieces, there is a line of chess writing: "Famous Legacy: Go to Tianlong Diya Valley in Leigu Mountain, where you can control and crack the 'Zhenlong' chess game!"

The 'Zhenlong' chess game was very famous, and Huang Sixi had heard of it a long time ago.

He thought again: "If I can't find Duan Yu this time and can't get the scroll that records "Northern Divine Art" and "Light Footsteps", then I will have to go to Leigushan to meet Wuyazi."

He also kept the black piece with the chess pattern on it.

After passing the chessboard, there is another moon-shaped door. Four words are carved on the wall next to the door: "Langhuan Blessed Land"!
This Langhuan blessed land houses a collection of martial arts classics from various schools and sects in the world collected by Wuyazi and Li Qiushui.

However, after Wuyazi and Li Qiushui became enemies, all the martial arts books in Langhuan Blessed Land were taken away by Wuyazi and Li Qiushui's only daughter Li Qingluo and moved to Mantuo Villa in Jiangnan.

Li Qingluo built another 'Langhuan Jade Cave' at Mantuo Villa to store these martial arts books. It was because of the existence of this jade cave that Li Qingluo's daughter Wang Yuyan was able to take the lead and enter the jade cave all year round to observe and memorize all the martial arts moves in the world.

Huang Sixi entered the 'Langhuan Blessed Land' and took a walk around, but did not find anything unusual.

In the entire Wuliang Yubi Cave, Huang Sixi only found two relics of famous people: the seven-stringed harp and the black chess piece.

But it was not a complete failure.

Huang Sixi carried his lyre and the black chess piece and returned to the room of the jade statue of the fairy sister. There was a stone staircase here. After walking up more than 300 steps, he arrived at the entrance of a cave.

Huang Sixi walked out of the cave and found himself on a steep cliff.

He looked down from the cliff and saw a turbulent river flowing more than ten feet below, which was the Canglan River.

He used the gecko wall-climbing skill to climb up from the cliff to the river bank, and headed towards Wanjie Valley along the river.
