Zongwu: Eavesdropping on the inner voices, the female warriors have become strange

After reaching the bottom of the valley, Chen Liu finally breathed a sigh of relief, his body relaxing. However, as soon as he let out his breath, he felt a sudden ache all over his body, his hands and feet feeling a bit weak from exhaustion. It was still dark, so even if he tried to find the entrance to the Langhuan Blessed Land, it would be difficult. So, Chen Liu and Zhong Ling went to the lake at the bottom of the valley, washed their faces with water, and then found a large rock on the cliffside to sit down and rest.

Chen Liu was so exhausted that he fell asleep without realizing it. When he woke up, he found himself hugging Zhong Ling tightly. Zhong Ling was leaning against his chest, her big, beautiful eyes wide open, her head tilted back as she studied him closely. After Chen Liu woke up, their eyes suddenly met, both feeling a bit awkward. Zhong Ling lowered her head shyly, her round face flushed like a red apple, making one want to take a bite.

"Ahem, that, Sister Ling'er, I'm sorry, I didn't notice, I didn't mean it." Chen Liu resisted the urge to kiss Zhong Ling on the cheek, quickly let her go, and apologized awkwardly.

"It's okay, Brother Chenliu, I accidentally fell asleep too." Zhong Ling's eyes were a little vague, and she didn't dare to look at Chenliu.

"By the way, Brother Chen Liu, do you have any weapons on you?"

"Weapons? No!" Chen Liu was stunned.

"Of course not. This morning, the weapon on your body pressed against my stomach. It was hard and uncomfortable, so I woke up." Zhong Ling said.

"Uh..." Chen Liu suddenly came to his senses. It turned out to be a pillar supporting the sky.

"Ah? Yes! There is indeed a sword."

"So it's a sword? Can you let me see your sword?"

"You can't just look at this sword casually."

"why?"

"This sword is specially used to deal with girls. If you don't draw the sword, it's fine. But if you do, blood will be drawn." Chen Liu said in a serious tone.

"How can there be such a sword... uh... you big bad guy!" Zhong Ling also came to her senses. She cursed Chen Liu in shame and anger, stomped her feet, turned around and ran away.

By this time, daybreak had reached its peak. After Zhong Ling ran off, Chen Liu began to survey the valley floor. On the cliff to the left of the valley floor, a massive waterfall hung in the air like a jade dragon, cascading down into a remarkably clear lake with a rumbling sound. Where the waterfall emptied into the lake, the water tumbled endlessly. However, more than ten feet away from the waterfall, the water was like a flat mirror, with only ripples. Chen Liu looked up and saw the oval-shaped lake, approximately three miles in circumference, most of it hidden among the flowers and trees. The lake was surrounded by cliffs, with no way out except for one relatively steep slope, which was completely inaccessible elsewhere.

"It's so beautiful! Brother Chenliu, come here quickly." After Zhong Ling ran to the lake, she stood by the lake and admired the scenery of the valley. She was stunned by the beautiful scenery of the valley. After admiring it for a moment, she waved to Chenliu.

Chen Liu walked over to Zhong Ling and looked at her. Zhong Ling shyly turned her head slightly and said softly, "Brother Chen Liu, what are you looking at me for?"

Chen Liu smiled and said, "Because Sister Ling'er is very beautiful!"

Zhong Ling was overjoyed and whispered shyly, "Brother Chen Liu, do you really think I'm pretty?"

"Of course it's true."

Zhong Ling was even happier because she really knew that Chen Liu really thought she was pretty.

Chen Liu looked for a moment before shifting his gaze. He noticed that when he and Zhong Ling had climbed down the cliff last night, Zhong Ling's clothes had been torn by the thorns on the cliff, revealing her skin as white as cream. This made him a little embarrassed to look at her. Chen Liu was about to take off his coat and put it on Zhong Ling to cover her exposed body, but he found that his clothes were not much better. Moreover, because he had no martial arts skills, he was much more disheveled than Zhong Ling when he came down last night. Therefore, his clothes were not only more torn than Zhong Ling's, but also dirtier. They were not only covered with mud and dust, but also with straw and sawdust. It was difficult to take them off and put them on Zhong Ling.

After Chen Liu shifted his gaze, Zhong Ling also noticed that some of her private parts seemed to be exposed. She felt embarrassed for a moment, blushed, and turned away, not daring to look at Chen Liu. She also secretly covered her chest and private parts with her hands.

Chen Liu looked up at the lake and said, "Sister Ling'er, you wash yourself first. I'll go over there and take a look."

"Hmm!" Zhong Ling responded softly. After Chen Liu walked away, she half-knelt by the lake, stepped on the pebbles on the shore with both feet, rolled up her skirt with one hand to prevent the bottom of the skirt from getting wet by the lake water, and reached into the water with the other hand, half-gripping it, scooped up the lake water and gently patted her hot face.

After her face cooled down, Zhong Ling carefully fixed her hair in front of her reflection on the lake. Although her appearance wasn't very good and looked a bit disheveled, she also wanted to show her more beautiful self to her brother Chen Liu.

Chapter 30 Langhuan Blessed Land (Part )

After traveling to the Zongwu world, Chen Liu discovered that his memory had become much stronger. He wouldn't say he had a photographic memory, but after reading it two or three times, he could memorize and recite an article of several thousand words. He could even recall the books he had read and the knowledge he had learned.

However, it was too long ago when he watched Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils, so Chen Liu could not remember the whole part about the valley at the bottom of the cliff in the forbidden area of ​​Wuliang Sword Sect. He only remembered the general idea and knew that Duan Yu fell off the cliff from here, was blocked by a tree, then slowly climbed to the bottom of the valley along the crack of the cliff, and finally pushed away a large rock at the bottom of the valley, revealing a cave behind the rock, and in the cave was the Langhuan Blessed Land.

Before entering the forbidden area, Chen Liu made some extra preparations based on what he remembered, such as preparing extra food like dry rations and sesame cakes, as he didn't know how long he would be there. However, Chen Liu hadn't considered the possibility that his and Zhong Ling's clothes would become tattered after reaching the bottom of the valley, so he didn't prepare extra clothes, leading to the current awkward situation.

Although it was a bit embarrassing, Chen Liu had no choice now that it had come to this. Could he climb up with Zhong Ling first, run out to sell a few sets of clothes, and then come back? To avoid embarrassment, after eating some dry food, Chen Liu began to observe the large rock pushing the cliff at the bottom of the valley.

"Brother Chen Liu, what are you doing?" Although it was quite awkward at first, Zhong Ling gradually got used to it over time. Seeing Chen Liu constantly observing and pushing the large rock on the cliff at the bottom of the valley, she ran over to ask.

"Look for the cave entrance." Chen Liu looked back at Zhong Ling and said, "There is a cave entrance at the bottom of this cliff, but it's blocked by a large rock. We have to find that rock to find the cave where the secret book is hidden."

"Did you also calculate these?" Zhong Ling asked with a sly smile in her eyes.

"Yes, I calculated it." Chen Liu said.

"Brother Chen Liu is so awesome!" Zhong Ling looked at Chen Liu with admiration on her face and watery eyes.

Chen Liu:......

Chen Liu felt a little embarrassed. After all, he had deceived Zhong Ling, but it was really hard to explain to her. Could it be that he had read a novel about them? So he knew about the Langhuan Blessed Land here? Did the Blessed Land contain martial arts secrets?

"Write our story?" Zhong Ling blinked, wondering what Brother Chen Liu was talking about. Could it be a picture book? We were characters in a picture book? Did Brother Chen Liu read a picture book about us, and by chance, he ended up in that world? If that were the case, it would explain why Brother Chen Liu not only recognized her the first time they met, but also knew her background, and even knew there was a cave at the bottom of the valley, and that there was a secret manual within it.

Zhong Ling was an optimist. Unlike Wang Yuyan, she didn't find it difficult to accept that she was just a character in a novel. Zhong Ling quickly accepted it. Even if she was just a character in a picture book, so what? She was a living person now, and so was her brother Chen Liu. She had held his hand, slept in his arms last night, listened to his heartbeat, and secretly touched his face. Everything was real, and that was enough.

After searching for a long time, Chen Liu finally found the big rock. He was overjoyed and turned to Zhong Ling and shouted, "Sister Ling'er, come quickly, I found it."

"Have you found Brother Chenliu? Where is he?" Zhong Ling hurried over.

"This is it." Chen Liu used his hands to push away the vines that had already climbed onto the stone. He said to Zhong Ling, "Sister Ling'er, come and help us. Let's push this big stone away together."

"Okay." Zhong Ling was a martial arts expert after all. Although she looked a bit smaller than Chen Liu, the eight-foot-tall man, she was incredibly strong, even much stronger than Chen Liu. Together, the two of them quickly pushed the boulder aside, revealing a three-foot-high opening behind it.

"There really is a cave!" Zhong Ling was very excited when she saw the cave entrance.

The two took back their bags and went into the cave. It was a little dark in the cave, so Chen Liu took out a tinder from the package and lit it. He saw that the road in the cave was paved with stone slabs, forming a slope all the way down. Chen Liu and Zhong Ling walked forward with the help of the firelight. Not long after, they came to a gate made of copper and iron. Chen Liu handed the tinder to Zhong Ling and asked her to hold it, while he reached out to push the gate. The gate seemed a little heavy, but it was not difficult for Chen Liu. Duan Yu could push it, so there was no reason why he couldn't. Chen Liu pushed hard, and the gate was slowly pushed open by him.

Behind the gate was still a stone path, and the two continued walking forward. Not far away, they encountered another gate. Chen Liu pushed it open again and saw a circular stone chamber behind it.

There was light inside the stone chamber. Although it was not very bright, it was enough to see the environment inside clearly.

"Amazing!" Zhong Ling walked into the stone chamber, took in the surroundings, and was immediately astonished. The chamber was built beneath the lake, and light was drawn in through a giant crystal on the left side. Through the crystal, one could even see the fish swimming in the lake.

Chen Liu was full of admiration for the fact that Wuyazi and Li Qiushui had put so much effort into building a cave at the bottom of the lake as a place to live in seclusion. One could only say that the actions of masters cannot be judged by common sense.

Through Chen Liu's inner voice, Zhong Ling also learned that this place was the secluded place of two people named Wuyazi and Li Qiushui. Zhong Ling secretly memorized these two names.

In the middle of the stone chamber, there was a stone table with several stone benches in front of it. A bronze mirror stood on the tabletop, and beside it were combs, hairpins, and other household items for girls. Perhaps because no one had lived there for so long, the bronze mirror had grown verdigris, and the stone table and benches were covered in dust.

There was another stone wall to the southwest of the stone chamber, with a crack behind it. While Zhong Ling was still excitedly watching the fish swimming in the water through the crystal, Chen Liu walked up to the stone wall and pushed it hard. The stone wall slowly moved away, revealing the door that was hidden by the stone wall.

"Sister Ling'er, let's go."

"Oh! I see, Brother Chen Liu." Zhong Ling reluctantly moved her gaze away and turned around to see that Chen Liu had found another door. She hurriedly walked towards Chen Liu.

The two walked along the stone steps behind the door for a dozen steps before encountering another door. Chen Liu pushed it open, and bright light shone through. Behind the door stood a beautiful woman in palace attire, holding a long sword, the tip of which was pointed at Chen Liu and Zhong Ling.

"Oh, there's someone! Brother Chenliu, be careful!" Zhong Ling was shocked when she saw the beautiful woman in palace dress pointing a sword at them. Knowing that Chenliu didn't know any martial arts, she quickly drew her dagger and blocked his way, shouting, "Brother Chenliu, go ahead. I'll stop her."

Chen Liu couldn't help but laugh when he saw Zhong Ling's nervous expression. He was also deeply moved. He had never expected that Zhong Ling would be so kind to him after only knowing her for a few days, even risking her life to protect him.

"Don't worry, Sister Ling'er, this person is fake." Chen Liu gently patted the shoulder of Zhong Ling who was standing in front of him and said softly.

"Huh? Fake?" Zhong Ling finally reacted after being reminded by Chen Liu. After taking a closer look, she found that although the beauty in palace dress in front of her had a graceful demeanor, she did not seem to be a living person.

Zhong Ling examined it for a moment longer before realizing that the statue of the beautiful woman in imperial attire was a life-size sculpture of white jade. She wore a pale yellow silk gown. Perhaps because they had suddenly opened the door, allowing air to circulate within the cave, the gown trembled slightly with the air. Even more astonishing was the glint in the jade sculpture's eyes, a look of high spirits.

Chapter 31 Langhuan Blessed Land (Part )

"This person is so beautiful!" The veins on the jade statue's face were faintly red, almost indistinguishable from ordinary human skin. Furthermore, this jade statue was incredibly beautiful, the most beautiful person Zhong Ling had ever seen. Even her good sister Mu Wanqing seemed a little less beautiful. Zhong Ling couldn't help but be mesmerized as she stared at her.

"It's truly beautiful!" Chen Liu walked over to Zhong Ling and couldn't help but admire the lifelike jade statue before him. He thought to himself, "Wuyazi is truly a genius, able to carve Li Qiushui out of a single piece of white jade. And this jade statue really does look a lot like Wang Yuyan. Aside from the jade statue being a bit more mature and Wang Yuyan a bit more youthful, they're practically identical. No wonder Duan Yu, that shrewd lapdog, treated Wang Yuyan like a fairy the moment he saw her, chasing after her like a lapdog and licking her like crazy."

Zhong Ling: ...

This wasn't the first time Zhong Ling had heard the names Duan Yu and Wang Yuyan. Chen Liu had once said to herself that Wang Yuyan, like herself, was the daughter of some Duan Zhengchun, and that she had helped Duan Yu before. So, who was Duan Yu exactly? And what was her relationship to Duan Zhengchun? Was she Duan Zhengchun's son? Or her brother?

Although she and Wang Yuyan were very likely sisters, Zhong Ling couldn't help but feel a little jealous when she heard Chen Liu praise Wang Yuyan's beauty. At the same time, she couldn't help but feel a little frustrated. Even a woman like her couldn't help but be fascinated by the beauty of this jade statue. If Wang Yuyan really looked exactly like this jade statue, then she was indeed unbelievably beautiful.

"Brother Chen Liu, where are the two martial arts secrets manuals you mentioned?" Zhong Ling was vaguely reluctant to let Chen Liu look at the jade statue again. Looking at the jade statue was like looking at her sister whom she had never met before, which made her feel a little uncomfortable, so she pulled Chen Liu's sleeve and asked.

"A martial arts secret manual!" Chen Liu retracted his gaze and looked down at the cushions in front of the jade statue. There were two cushions in front of the jade statue, one large and one small. The large one was used for kneeling, the small one for kowtowing. Although Chen Liu had already guessed that the martial arts secret manual within the cushions had not yet been obtained by Duan Yu, he finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the cushions were still intact.

Chen Liu walked over to the cushions, squatted down, picked up the smaller one and looked at it, then turned back to Zhong Ling and said, "Sister Ling'er, can you let me use the dagger on you?"

"Okay, Brother Chenliu." Zhong Ling took out the dagger from her body and handed it to Chenliu.

Chen Liu took the dagger and examined it. It was exquisite, and the hilt was inlaid with two cat's-eye sapphires. When Chen Liu pulled the dagger from its sheath, he saw that the blade was as bright and smooth as a pool of spring water, and there was even a faint light flowing slowly on the blade. Seeing this, Chen Liu couldn't help but praise it and said, "Excellent knife."

"If Brother Chen Liu likes it, I'll give you this dagger." Zhong Ling said with a smile and some joy. Although they had only been together for a few days, Zhong Ling felt very happy to be with Chen Liu, and unconsciously had already developed feelings for him. Don't think it happened quickly. In the original novel, Zhong Ling was a beauty lover, and she was very easy to get along with. Duan Yu had only been with her for less than two days, and she fell in love with Duan Yu after praising her beauty. Of course, this was also because Duan Yu was handsome enough, otherwise, how about asking an ugly man to confess his love to her? She wouldn't let Diao Er smear you in the face and take your last name.

Chen Liu was tall and handsome. His height was standard for a time traveler, but in this era, he was already considered a towering, imposing man. Furthermore, his knowledge was unmatched by even the ancients, exceedingly broad and profound. He was also humorous and witty. Furthermore, to prevent Zhong Ling from turning against him in pursuit of the secret manual, he had been diligently trying to cheer her up and build a close relationship with her. It was no surprise that she developed a liking for him.

Chen Liu shook his head and said with a smile, "A gentleman does not take away what is loved by others. You have kept this dagger close to you, so it must be your favorite. And the hilt of this dagger is inlaid with precious sapphires. It must have been given to you by your parents for self-defense. It would be inappropriate for you to give it to me."

Zhong Ling quickly said, "It's okay. I'll ask my father to find me another one when I get home."

Chen Liu still shook his head and said, "Sister Ling'er, you should keep it for your own self-defense."

Seeing Chen Liu reject her kindness twice in a row, Zhong Ling felt a little depressed. She thought to herself: Brother Chen Liu must prefer my sister Wang Yuyan, who I don't know if she is my sister or my younger sister. But then again, Wang Yuyan is so beautiful, it's not surprising that Brother Chen Liu likes her.

"I prefer long swords to daggers." Chen Liu laughed and said, "This dagger is too short and not suitable for me."

Zhong Ling was overjoyed when she heard this. The reason why Chen Liu did not accept her dagger was not because he disliked her, but because he felt that the dagger was not suitable for him.

"Brother Chenliu, when we get out, I'll give you a sword, okay?" Zhong Lingxi said happily.

"Then I would like to thank Sister Ling'er first." Chen Liu was also happy in his heart. Given his current relationship with Zhong Ling, she should not let Diao'er bite him again, right?

Zhong Ling secretly rolled her eyes. "Brother Chen Liu is really something. Why do you always think I will hurt him? I'm not one of those bad women."

Chen Liu used his dagger to slice open the small futon and searched for the secret manual left by Li Qiushui. He wasn't like some other time travelers, worried that Li Qiushui had set some trap inside the futon, threatening to destroy the manual or send poisonous needles shooting at you if you didn't kowtow, so he'd just kowtow a thousand times. Chen Liu figured those time travelers' heads had been crushed by the barrier of the world when they crossed over, destroying even their intelligence. This futon wasn't a box or anything; even if Li Qiushui wanted to set a trap, she couldn't.

Chen Liu quickly found the silk bag hidden inside the futon. Overjoyed, he quickly took it out and examined it carefully. The bag was about a foot long, with a few lines of small characters written on the white silk. It read: "Since you have kowtowed a thousand times, you will serve me as your mentor and never regret it. This scroll contains the essence of Xiaoyao Sect's martial arts. You must diligently practice it once a day at dawn, noon, and dusk. If you slack off even a little, I will frown and grieve. Once you have mastered your skills, you can go to the Langhuan Blessed Land and read all the classics. The martial arts of every sect in the world are collected here, and they will all be at your disposal. Try your best. When you have completed your studies, come down the mountain and kill all the Xiaoyao Sect disciples for me. If even one is missed, I will resent you deeply, both in heaven and on earth."

Chen Liu looked at the words on the white silk, curled his lips slightly, and thought to himself: You can't believe a word Li Qiushui said. Because Wuyazi was obsessed with the jade statue and ignored her, she was very angry. She found many handsome men and brought them back to have fun in front of Wuyazi. She also hooked up with Wuyazi's second apprentice Ding Chunqiu. She is simply a fickle woman with no sense of shame. Later, after she and Ding Chunqiu attacked and seriously injured Wuyazi, she ran away to Xixia to become an imperial concubine. Only Duan Yu, that fool, regarded her as a pure goddess and was unwilling to believe that she had a man. Duan Yu would never have thought that his fairy sister was actually a fickle woman with countless lovers.

Zhong Ling's eyes lit up when she saw the silk bag in Chen Liu's hand, and she was overjoyed. According to her brother Chen Liu, this was a Grandmaster-level secret technique. The secret technique her father practiced was only at the Xiantian level, a huge gap of two realms. But when she heard Chen Liu's inner thoughts, she couldn't help but exclaim in surprise!

Chapter 32: Bei Ming Divine Art (Part )

"Sister Ling'er, what's wrong?" Chen Liu was a little confused when he heard Zhong Ling's exclamation.

"Ah? Nothing, I was just a little scared when I saw the words on the silk bag." Zhong Ling hurriedly covered up.

Chen Liu looked back at the words on the silk bag, pondered for a moment, and then said with a smile, "Are you frightened by the words that say we must kill all the Xiaoyao Sect disciples after we learn martial arts?"

"Ah? Right, right!" Zhong Ling nodded repeatedly. It would be better if Chen Liu could find a reason for her, so that she wouldn't have to come up with reasons to explain herself. How tiring! "Brother Chen Liu, I'm a very good person. I've never killed a chicken since I was a child."

Chen Liu:......

Chen Liu couldn't help but complain in his heart: "You haven't even killed a chicken, but you kill people! Judging from your behavior of letting the marten bite people at the slightest disagreement, I guess you have killed many people."
