Chapter 371: Chance Encounter

"There has been very little progress." I shook my head and said, "I came to Longhu Mountain this time, and I just wanted to ask the master how to cultivate the Shadowless Technique. ”

What I didn't expect was that the Dao Master also shook his head and said, "Your Majesty, although this exercise is the secret inheritance of my Dragon and Tiger Sect, the old Taoist only knows the mantra of the exercise, and has not practiced it. ”

When I heard this, I was immediately shocked: "What, even you haven't practiced master." ”

"Exactly." Dao Fa ashamed said, "Emperor, according to my Dragon and Tiger Sect from generation to generation, in addition to the founder of this set of exercises, no one else has been able to achieve success, hundreds of years ago, the twenty-fourth generation of the Dragon and Tiger Sect Heavenly Master once said, this exercise is really the law of the sky, maybe only wait for the fate of the person to have an epiphany, we are not enough wisdom, there is no such fate, at that time, the Dragon and Tiger Sect's highest martial arts Zhang Lingxu did not believe this, but also made a bet with the Heavenly Master, vowing that he would be able to succeed, but his whole life, also had no chance with the exercise. ”

"Is the Shadowless Secret so profound?"

"Well, Lao Dao has practiced this method since he was a child, and it is difficult to get a glimpse of the door for the first time, so Lao Dao is unable to guide the emperor to practice, when he said, the reason why Lao Dao passed this exercise to the emperor is that he thinks that in the world today, only the emperor has such great wisdom, but the emperor can rest assured that there is no adverse reaction to this shadowless trick."

"Just follow the fate."

"It's a good fate, Emperor Shengming, maybe it is the most suitable cultivator of this shadowless technique." Daofa said with a smile, "Since the emperor ascended the throne, the celestial phenomena have changed, I have risen to the emperor star, changed the decline of the old name, according to the celestial phenomena, the double star is shining, the fortune of my dynasty emperor star and the Mongolian emperor star is inseparable, and the Great Song Dynasty that has lasted for three hundred years has had hope since then, the old way, otherwise I will follow the emperor to the north to invade Mongolia." ”

"Hehe, the master is old and strong, and he is not inferior to the ancient Lian Po."

"The emperor has won the award, the emperor, it's not early, rest early, it's noon tomorrow, and the old road is waiting in the Shangqing Palace."

Early the next morning, as soon as the sky was bright, Yuan Jian handed over the mount to the guards who had been following us closely and secretly guarding us, these guards had royal guards, and there were also dragon teeth, after breakfast, Wen Zhang took our group from the back door of Luxi Village and walked to the Shangqing Palace,

At this time, the red in the east has just revealed its face, and is slowly moving upward, and the faint light has lifted the light veil-like mist, and you can take in the surrounding scenery from afar.

In order to enjoy the scenery along the road, we deliberately set off two and a half hours in advance, and Wen Zhang, who led the way, introduced while walking: "Childe, the front and back mountains of Longhu Mountain are called Longshan and Tiger Mountain respectively, it is said that Master Zhang Daoling, the predecessor of Longhu Sect, once got the guidance of the crane, and only then did he practice alchemy in Yingtianping between the two mountains, and during the Tang Dynasty, there were cranes in the world, and guided the heavenly master at that time to build the Shangqing Palace in Yingtianping. ”

Fang Ling said: "It turns out that the Shangqing Palace was built under the guidance of the crane. ”

Wen Zhang smiled: "Well, the legend is so." ”

The dragon and tiger mountain in the early morning, clean and fresh, at a glance, the mountain is like a dragon plate, like a tiger, the dragon and tiger compete for the male, the momentum is not compatible, go up along the mountain road, only to see that both sides are full of peaks and peaks, trees and green cages,

According to ancient legend, there were ninety-nine dragons gathered here in Longhu Mountain, each dragon corresponds to a mountain peak, so there are a total of ninety-nine peaks in the entire Longhu Mountain area, these ninety-nine peaks take the water to the softest, the stream of the mountain turns the peak, the masculine of the ninety-nine dragons, the mountain is green, the spirit is full, go up to the mountain, look down, the clear water often flows, such as the ribbon, the stream floats in from the east distance, slowly walks according to the mountain, turns the peak around the mountain, seems to take a break, seems to love the scene, crosses the beach is white, meets the pool and is green, or whispers elegantly, or meditates quietly,

About halfway to the road, Wenzhang said: "Childe, about thirty steps up is the halfway of the back mountain, there is a Tiangu Temple, it is also a large Taoist temple, and then up is the Lingbao Temple and the Zhenying Temple, after that, there is a famous pavilion, called Xiaoyao Pavilion, standing in the Xiaoyao Pavilion, you can see the Shangqing Palace." ”

"Xiaoyao Pavilion, this name sounds good, but what a famous method."

"Childe, there is a stone carved chessboard in the Xiaoyao Pavilion, legend has it that during the Tang Dynasty, there was a big chess player from overseas who said his country, known as the local invincible, so this person planned to come to challenge my Middle-earth chess player, when he went to Longhu Mountain, it happened to be a heavy rain, the chess player came to the Xiaoyao Pavilion to take shelter from the rain, just saw a common two young chess players in the pavilion were talking, said that the chess player stood next to the chessboard, silently looked at the overall situation, this station is an hour and a half, after the end, that vulgar one said, the game seems to have no progress, I had to be scolded by the master again, and I wanted to be a master of chess in Middle-earth for a while, but I didn't expect to see two chess players far better than myself in this mountainous place, not to mention their master, after the rain stopped, the chess player immediately went down the mountain, went straight east, and never appeared in Middle-earth again. ”

Fang Ling said: "Wen Zhang, does every scenic spot building on this Dragon and Tiger Mountain have its corresponding story?" ”

"Miss Fang, it should be, but I don't know much."

"It's still early to talk about the Tao, let's go to the Xiaoyao Pavilion to have a look."

"Yes, Childe."

When approaching the Xiaoyao Pavilion, Fang Ling suddenly exclaimed, and then crossed everyone and walked forward alone,

We were stunned for a moment, and looked in the direction of the Xiaoyao Pavilion, only to see that there were two men in the pavilion, one was a middle-aged scribe dressed in white, who was sitting on a stone bench, and the other was an old man in black standing beside him. ”

"Uncle Suo, why did you come to Longhu Mountain?" After that, he said to the white-clothed scribe in the pavilion, "Father, why are you here?" ”

Suo Wuji said: "The Dragon and Tiger Mountain Discussion Festival is the best in martial arts, and my master and I also want to come to observe it." ”

"Ling'er, why don't you want to see your father?"

Fang Ling said happily: "How could it be, it's just that Ling'er felt a little surprised." ”

Yuan Jian's ear power was extraordinary, and Fang Ling and the others did not deliberately lower their voices, so they could hear clearly: "Childe, it is Miss Fang's father and uncle." ”

I exclaimed, "Fang Ling's father, how can it be so coincidental. ”

Yuan Jian nodded and said: "Miss Fang's martial arts are exquisite, and her father or master is naturally the top master in the martial arts, but her subordinates have never been sure which master is there, Miss Fang has a deep affection for her son, and she has no bad intentions, so her subordinates have not gone to understand it in depth, Childe, although there are very few people who know about the Tao of Dragon and Tiger Mountain, and the Dragon and Tiger Sect does not prevent outsiders from watching, so every time there is a discussion of the Tao, there are more or less outsiders who come to observe, but it is indeed uncommon for martial arts people to watch the Tao from the back mountain to the Shangqing Palace. ”

Yuan Jian knew the relationship between Fang Ling and me, and without my order, he didn't dare to investigate Fang Ling's identity at will.

"Sir, do you know Ling'er's father?"

Yuan Jian looked at the white-clothed scribe in the pavilion, and finally shook his head and said, "I can't be sure. ”

About five or six meters away from the Xiaoyao Pavilion, our group paused, and not long after, Fang Ling and the old man in black in the Xiaoyao Pavilion came to us together, and the old man in black did not greet us, except for his eyes scanning my face, he stood aside silently, Fang Ling was a little shy, and stammered: "Brother, my father, I want to talk to you about a game, saying that I have something, I want to talk to you alone." ”

"Play chess, talk." I thought for a moment and said, "Wen Zhang, how long will it take to get from here to Shangqing Palace." ”

"If you walk at a normal pace, it's about a quarter or more."

"It's still early." I nodded slightly and said with a smile, "Of course you can, but my chess skills are not high, will I be embarrassed." ”

"Brother, don't worry, if my father dares to win you, go back to Ling'er and clean him up."

"Ling'er, just kidding, don't take it seriously."

Fang Ling blushed and said, "Brother, then you go by yourself, we will wait for you here, sir, please take a break here." ”

Yuan Jian smiled: "Miss Fang, it's okay, this is a good thing, let's just wait." ”

Fang Ling's face turned even redder when he heard this, and he whispered, "Thank you, sir." ”

I inadvertently touched the pistol on my waist and said, "Sir, you look at the time, if the hour is almost up, and we haven't finished it, you can go to the Shangqing Palace to participate in the discussion first, and then go to you after we finish." ”

"Yes, Childe."

I walked towards the Xiaoyao Pavilion with some nervousness, of course, this nervousness is not the kind of nervousness that is shown when encountering danger, I believe in Fang Ling, and naturally I will also believe in Fang Ling's father,

Although I am the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty, I am high in my hand, but the person in the pavilion is Fang Ling's father, what's the matter, I have a little "weak heart" in my heart,

When the middle-aged man in white saw me enter the Xiaoyao Pavilion, he immediately stood up, stared at me for a moment, and saluted first: "Old man Fang Chen has seen Gongzi Huyan. ”

"Fang Ling's father was originally called Fang Chenyi, but I have never heard of it." I thought to myself, and at the same time hurriedly replied, "Mr. Fang, hello." ”

"Huyan Gongzi, the old man should have come to Lin'an to visit Gongzi a long time ago, to thank Gongzi for taking care of Ling'er and Chengwei Dart Bureau, but I have been busy with miscellaneous matters, I didn't expect to see you here today, forgive the old man for being abrupt, invite Gongzi to talk about a game in this Xiaoyao Pavilion, it is still early to talk about the Tao at this moment, let's chat while playing chess, okay."

Although it was the first time I met Fang Ling's father, seeing his elegance and indifference, and his detached from the world, I also had a good impression: "Mr. Fang, of course you can, please." ”

I don't know if Fang Chenyi knows my identity, Fang Ling doesn't know, it doesn't mean that his father doesn't know, but I can feel that in Fang Chenyi's elegant gaze, there is a trace of wisdom,

If Fang Chenyi told me now and said that he knew my identity, maybe I wouldn't be surprised.

After sitting down at the stone table, I saw that the stone carved chessboard on it was clearly visible, and the criss-crossing nineteen horizontal and vertical lines immediately came into view.
