Zongwu: Aspiring to be the mastermind behind the scenes

Chapter 83 Jianghu Yi Lao, Encounter on the Road
Since ancient times, there have been hermits in famous mountains, but most of them are not famous.

For example, before the Quanzhen Sect came into being, many hermits lived in Mount Zhongnan.

For example, Mount Emei is generally known as Emei to the outside world, but the Buddhist temples and Taoist temples inside it are divided into different factions.

For example, in the past, although there were no famous sects in Wudang Mountain, there were many warriors and hermits living there.

When Zhang Sanfeng first entered Wudang, he built a Taoist temple and named it: Sanfeng Sect.

But after he broke through to the Grandmaster level, more and more people came to join him.

He then broke through to become a Grandmaster and became famous throughout the world. Most of the warriors and hermits on the mountain joined the Sanfeng Sect.

From then on, one sect became the dominant one on Wudang Mountain, and the sect was renamed Wudang Sect.

Although Zhang Sanfeng was the founder of the sect, many of the old masters on Mount Wudang were of the same generation as him. Their disciples joined Mount Wudang together and were naturally second-generation disciples.

Therefore, the second generation of disciples in Wudang Mountain have a huge age gap.

The oldest among them is undoubtedly the Grandmaster of Three Flowers, Taoist Mu!

However, at this time, Mu Dao Ren was not on Wudang Mountain.

Like Lu Xiaofeng, he also likes to wander around. I think half of the time a year he is not in Wudang, but outside.

However, on the occasion of Master Zhang's 100th birthday, Taoist Mu would naturally return to Wudang.

At this moment, he was about to go to Wudang.

"Hmm?" Taoist Mu suddenly stopped.

A figure stood in the middle of the road and said, "Master Mu, I have been waiting for a long time."

"Oh?" Mu Dao Ren clasped his fists and said, "May I ask your name?"

"Gin."

The man said, "You can call me that."

Taoist Mu recalled for a moment, confirming that he had never heard of this name before, and asked, "Then I wonder why you are waiting for me here?"

Jin Jiu asked, "Do you want to...break through to Grandmaster?"

................................................

Zhou Ming and others were traveling and in a hurry, so they moved very slowly.

But in this world, news spreads very quickly.

The result was that everyone in a city received the new Jianghu Monthly Report.

This Jianghu Monthly Report undoubtedly records the events of the Pearl Pavilion and the Qingyi Tower.

Chu Liuxiang was surprised after reading it, "I didn't expect you guys had experienced something like this before we met. Huo Tianqing is from the Tianqin Sect and is unparalleled in morality, but I didn't expect him to do such a thing!"

Lu Xiaofeng said: "He did these things because of the Tianqin Sect."

The records in the Jianghu Monthly were not detailed, so Lu Xiaofeng briefly explained Huo Tianqing's thoughts.

"The Tianqin Sect's reputation is widespread, but I never expected this to be the case within the sect... If Elder Tianqin were still alive, I wonder what he would think."

"If Elder Tianqin doesn't become a Grandmaster, his lifespan will ultimately be no more than a hundred years. In the past, Elder Tianqin preferred not to marry or have children, determined to achieve Grandmaster status. Perhaps this was his motivation.

It’s a pity that he got old, and finally at the age of seventy-seven, he had to give up!”

"The road of martial arts is arduous! Not only are there thresholds upon thresholds to reach higher realms, but one must also race against time. Otherwise, one will age and falter, and the flower of essence will wither and become unstable. Even if the three flowers gather at the top of one's head, it will be impossible to break through to the Grandmaster level!"

Chu Liuxiang sighed and said, "If Elder Tianqin could be twenty years younger, no, even if he was only fifteen years younger, he might be able to break through to the Grandmaster level!"

Lu Xiaofeng laughed and said, "Time cannot be retrieved, aging cannot be reversed. Once you are old, you are old. How can you return to youth..."

He paused, and suddenly thought of the young Qian Boss he saw at the end of the previous fake banknote case, and suddenly fell silent.

Chu Liuxiang didn't care and looked to the side.

Sikong Zhaixing, Ximen Chuxue, Zhou Ming, even the four maids, as well as him and Lu Xiaofeng.

They are all young and talented people.

But will anyone among them be able to break through to the Grandmaster level in the future?
It's really hard to be sure.

Perhaps only Ximen Chuxue has some hope.

As April 19th approaches, all the forces in the world send people to Wudang Mountain to celebrate the birthday.

The world mentioned here does not only refer to the Ming Dynasty, but also to all the countries in the world. Although there is no national power, the martial arts sects of various countries, especially those with wide reputations, have basically sent people here.

Although Zhou Ming and others walked slowly, they were gradually approaching Wudang Mountain.

The number of martial artists along the way increased visibly.

As they got closer, they ran into a few acquaintances.

It can also be said that those acquaintances met them.

It was evening.

A carriage stopped by the roadside, and three gangsters were resting there.

A man as strong as an iron tower came back with a bundle of firewood. After counting the amount, he felt it was not enough, so he turned around and went back to pick more.

But I saw a figure coming towards me on the road.

It's really spinning.

Because this person was rolling all the way here, somersaulting.

Although he had seen many strange people in his travels, this was the first time he had seen someone who was in such a hurry.

What’s even more incredible is that he seems to know this person.

"What's wrong?" asked a pale and elegant man beside the carriage.

Tie Chuanjia said, "I seem to see someone I know."

Li Xun Huan took one look and said with a smile, "Indeed, he is an acquaintance."

Then he shouted loudly: "Hero Lu, long time no see!"

Lu Xiaofeng somersaulted forward along the official road, leaving Sikong Zhaixing behind.

Suddenly hearing the shout, he looked to the side and saw three familiar figures sitting by the road.

Suddenly, the heart stopped!
He lost his balance for a moment and fell to the side of the road.

He immediately covered his face with his sleeves and said in a changed voice, "Who...who? Did you recognize the wrong person? I don't know you!"

Li Xun Huan laughed and said, "Brother Lu, it's only been half a year since we last met, and you don't remember us?"

Seeing that he couldn't escape, Lu Xiaofeng stood up and said, "Brother Li, Brother Tie, and this Brother A Fei, it's been a long time since we last met. I was in such a hurry just now that I almost didn't recognize you three."

Li Xun Huan said, "It's alright, Brother Lu just now... he really came in a hurry!"

Lu Xiaofeng suddenly shuddered, dug his toes into the ground, and all the hairs on his body stood up. He was extremely embarrassed.

At this time, another person turned around and saw Lu Xiaofeng in front of him. He stopped and said, "Lu Xiaofeng, why are you stopping here?"

Lu Xiaofeng was immediately enraged when he saw the person coming. He grabbed the person's neck and said viciously, "Sikong Zhaixing, it's all because of you! It's all because of you!"

Simply put, the two of them were competing in lightness skills, but Sikong Zhaixing was slightly inferior.

However, Sikong Zhaixing discovered that the two people's light skills had different focuses.

As a thief, he is better at moving within a small area, but not good at traveling long distances.

On the contrary, Lu Xiaofeng is very fast in Qinggong, but he is not good at agility in a small range.

Of course, this is only compared to Sikong Zhaixing.

Even compared with other people in the martial arts world, Lu Xiaofeng's lightness skills and even agility are far superior.

So Sikong Zhaixing came up with an idea. Instead of competing in normal light skills, he competed in somersaults.

In the end, it became the current situation.

The sound of horse hooves sounded.

Another group of people rushed over.

After the pleasantries, everyone got to know each other. Seeing that it was getting late, they simply decided to rest here together.

"You have traveled the world, enjoying the beauty of nature. It is truly enviable."

Li Xun Huan said, "And Mr. Zhou, you cleared my brother Tie Chuanjia's wrongful death in your book and also revealed Ah Fei's life story. I am deeply grateful!"
