Chapter 2: The Valley of Kunlun
However, it was said that Shi Fan took Zhou Zhiruo all the way west to Kunlun, teaching Zhou Zhiruo martial arts as he went. Shi Fan learned well this time, and didn't want Zhou Zhiruo to become a coquettish little lazy like Qu Feiyan, so he strictly urged Zhiruo to practice.
Zhou Zhiruo was born in her father-in-law's house since she was a child, and her life was difficult, and the poor children were in charge of the family early, not to mention that she and Zhou's father depended on each other for their lives, relying on the ferry to make a living, so they naturally suffered hardship.
Now, Shi Fan left a lot of gold and silver before leaving, which is enough for Zhou's father's living needs, so naturally he doesn't need to go to the ferry.
The two of them did not ride a horse all the way, but measured on foot, in order to practice Zhiruo's light skills, although it was just an ordinary Huashan body method, but over time, Zhiruo's body gradually became lighter as her skills deepened.
Shi Fan secretly praised Zhiruo in his heart for being sensible, knowing that practicing martial arts is like sailing against the current, and then thinking of her lazy senior sister, looking up at the sky and being silent...... blames myself for spoiling that little girl, and I carry her on my back when I walk the rivers and lakes......
The two of them took several months to reach the Kunlun realm, and they spent so much time mainly teaching Zhiruo to practice martial arts all day long, and they had little time to travel. No, in a few months, the little girl has practiced Huashan swordsmanship to perfection, and her mental method has also reached the second rate of the rivers and lakes, which is comparable to the skill of Song Qingshu, the first disciple of the third generation of the Wudang faction in the original book.
Kunlun Mountain, known as the "Chinese Dragon Vein Ancestral Dragon" since ancient times, stretches majestically and the snow-capped peaks. Although it is the height of summer, the snow on the top of Kunlun Mountain is still unmelted, and the sun shines very dazzlingly.
Shi Fan took Zhou Zhiruo to find the "Jiuyang True Scripture", according to the original description, under a mountain cliff near Zhuwu Lianhuanzhuang, there is a cave, which is in the body of an old ape of nearly a hundred years. Just this clue is undoubtedly looking for a needle in a haystack, but Shi Fan is not in a hurry, he has time......
The first thing is to find Zhuwu Lianhuanzhuang, which is not difficult, Shi Fan and Zhiruo inquired in many ways in the Kunlun realm, and soon found the location of Zhuwu Lianhuanzhuang.
Knowing that the Zhuangzi are all descendants of the Dali lineage, but by this generation, Shi Fan has already become a fly camp, Shi Fan doesn't bother to make friends with villains like Zhu Changling, and inquiring about Zhuangzi's location is just to find the "Jiuyang True Scripture".
Shi Fan and the two stayed at a nearby inn and told Zhiruo to practice seriously, and Shi Fan began his journey to find the scriptures. Day after day, half a month passed in the blink of an eye, and after searching for the surrounding peaks, Shi Fan couldn't help but feel a little disheartened.
On this day, Shi Fan was looking for the legendary cave in the mountains, but to no avail for a long time, and sighed secretly and was about to go back tomorrow, when the wind suddenly sounded in his ears, Shi Fan suddenly realized, jumped forward, and avoided the attack of the flying thing.
Shi Fan looked at it in a blink of an eye, but it was a little white ape, and the thing he threw was a small stone. Shi Fan didn't laugh angrily, it didn't take any effort to step on the iron shoes and find nowhere to get them, this little white ape must be the same race as the old ape, don't you just follow it?
Shi Fan thought of it, and jumped towards the little white ape, and the little white ape turned around and ran, and his body was quite agile. One man and one ape, chasing and fleeing, unconsciously ran for several miles, and suddenly the little white ape jumped up, climbed a few vines to the middle of a cliff and disappeared.
Shi Fan was overjoyed, knowing that it was the cave in the original book, and hurriedly jumped up to keep up, he is now extremely profound, jumping several feet high, to the highest place, the old force has exhausted the new power has not been born, and the long sword is inserted into the cliff, and then borrowed the strength to go up, and soon saw a stone platform above.
Shi Fan jumped up and found that there was indeed a small cave, revealing a deep opening, which was very small. Shi Fan determined the location, and he was not in a hurry at the moment, so he returned to the inn first.
Back at the inn, Shi Fan took Zhiruo and went straight to the cave.
Zhiruo walked through the snow all the way, not knowing why, "Master, where are we going?"
Shi Fan smiled: "Go find the baby!"
When the two arrived at the bottom of the cliff, Shi Fan told Zhiruo to stay less, and after climbing up, he hung down a rope that had been prepared long ago, and shouted: "Zhiruo, grab the rope and come up!"
Zhiruo immediately understood, grabbed the rope and climbed, the stone sail pulled on it, and after a while, Zhiruo also jumped on the stone platform, slightly panting.
Shi Fan didn't say much, pulled out the true martial sword, slashed towards the entrance of the cave, and sat down to recover his true qi when he was tired, and over time, he finally expanded it by a few points, and he could crawl in.
Shi Fan motioned for Zhiruo to follow, and he went to explore the path first. Climb in a few feet, a burst of sunshine in front of him, Shi Fan fixed his eyes, and sure enough, it was a splendid valley full of flowers.
Zhiruo then came in and saw the wonder of flowers blooming in the valley, and couldn't help but exclaim, "Wow! It's so beautiful here, Master!"
Shi Fan nodded with a smile, behind the cave, the fragrance of quiet flowers, fresh fruits hanging branches, surrounded by high mountains, as if there had been no trace since ancient times.
Looking around, I saw a group of monkeys jumping and playing in the distance, and the little white ape before was also among them, Shi Fan laughed and said, "Little white ape, you didn't expect me to come here, right?"
When the monkeys heard Shi Fan's voice, they were immediately frightened, but the little white ape suddenly had tears in his eyes, ran to Shi Fan, grabbed his trouser leg and pulled it in.
Shi Fan naturally knew why, and he didn't resist, and followed the little white ape forward. Zhiruo was amazed and walked forward with it.
After walking for about a thousand meters, I saw a waterfall on the cliff in front of me rushing down, and it looked like a dream and beautiful under the sun. Where has Zhiruo seen such a fairyland, she is dizzying, and Shi Fan is also secretly praised.
The two of them followed the little white ape all the way, and suddenly saw a white ape lying in the grass in front of them, quite large, lying there weakly, and from time to time there was a wail.
Shi Fan knew that this was the white ape with the "Jiuyang True Scripture" hidden in his body, and this white ape was also blessed, after the events of the year, he came here by chance, and ate the Kunlun exotic fruit peach, which was vigorous, and he lived for nearly a hundred years and was still alive, but now the wound of the hidden true scripture has deteriorated, and he is so weak.
Shi Fan smiled: "Zhiruo, do you see, this little white ape brought us here to treat the old ape~~~"
Zhiruo said distressedly: "Master, then let's help it quickly, you see it hurts." ”
Shi Fan didn't know medical skills, with the simple medical techniques he learned when he was studying in modern times, he first used a real martial arts sword to carefully cut the thread that Yin Kexi and others had sealed, the old ape had already understood a little human nature, and knew that Shi Fan was helping him, although he wailed, but he didn't move, and let Shi Fan do it.
Shi Fan cut the thread, only to see a package wrapped in oilcloth hidden in the white ape's belly, "Zhiruo, this is the source of the white ape's pain, take it out!"
Hearing this, Zhi Ruo carefully took out the package, Shi Fan cut off the deteriorating carrion, sewed up the wound, and tore off a piece of clothing to wrap it up.
Zhiruo opened the package curiously, only to see that it was four scriptures, crooked but did not recognize, opened it, and found that they were all foreign characters that she couldn't understand, and couldn't help asking: "Master, this scripture is so strange, I don't know the words......"
After Shi Fan helped the old ape deal with his wounds, he smiled and said, "That's because you didn't look carefully." After that, he took the scriptures, opened them, pointed to the words, and said, "Look, isn't this just hiding Chinese characters?"
Zhi Ruo leaned up her little head to take a closer look, and sure enough, there were small characters hidden in the middle of each page of strange words, and she said curiously: "Master, what is this?"
Shi Fan said with a smile: "Hehe, this is the treasure we are looking for, it is a secret book, called "Jiuyang True Scripture"!"
