3. The road ends in the south, and the first time you enter the rivers and lakes is dangerous
Lin Zhennan decided to go there to apprentice? Of course, it was Zhongnan Mountain. As for the Langhuan Jade Cave of Dali Wuliang Mountain, www.biquge.info has long been divided by Gusu Murong and Dali Duan Yu, since there is a remnant of the "Star Absorbing Dafa", the remnant of the "Northern Shengong", the Vulture Mountain Xiaoyao sect has long been extinct, and the Shaolin Temple, there are rules that lay disciples rarely learn the Fa, so after a period of thought, then only Zhongnan Mountain remains.
And the Condor Heroes mentioned in the sentence "At the foot of the South Mountain, the tomb of the living dead, the Condor Heroes, extinct rivers and lakes" is the Western Crazy Yang Guo in the Five Uniques of the New Central Plains in the late Southern Song Dynasty. This Yang Guo's cultivation comes mostly from irreproducible chances, and his mastery is also because of his special life experience, which is difficult to pass on. It's just that Yang Guo has learned a lot in his life, has a wide range of knowledge, and is the only grandmaster-level figure who survived after the destruction of Xiangyang City, and the memory of his previous life has even recorded that the ancient tomb has a secret book of martial arts copied by the five peers in order to prevent the loss of the last learning.
After Lin Yuantu arranged for Gan Bo to take care of Lin Zhennan, he left home to start a plan that had already been in the stomach. On this day, Lin Zhennan said goodbye to his reluctant mother and two aunts, rode lightly with Ganbo, left Fuzhou Linfu, and went all the way north.
The first time he went out, Lin Zhennan knew how to see and learn more, all arranged by Ganbo, and the two of them hurried in a low-key manner, and finally came to Shaanxi one day. The Huashan faction, which has a great relationship with the Lin family, is located in Huayin County, and the Huashan disciples are all over Shaanxi on weekdays, and they can be met everywhere, but the master and servant have not seen each other along the way, Gan Bo was slightly surprised, but he acted more cautiously and did not think much about it, but Lin Zhennan's heart moved, and he faintly felt that something big was happening, and the internal strife of the two sects of sword qi should not be at this time!
Thinking of this, there was a sense of urgency in my heart, the civil strife in Huashan was bound to be extremely tragic, and after the internal friction, the prestige in the rivers and lakes would inevitably plummet, no matter who won the two sects of sword qi, they would lose many of the inheritance of peerless learning. As the Huashan faction that has been in the limelight in the rivers and lakes for decades, this decline will inevitably cause a major reshuffle of the forces in the rivers and lakes, and the martial arts lieutenant will soon set off a bloody storm that will sweep the entire rivers and lakes!
Learn martial arts, protect yourself, protect the Lin family, and protect your relatives! Lin Zhennan's young man's eyes firmly concealed his childishness, and his clenched fists pounded into his chest: Father and mother, I will not let you down!
Entering the territory of Shaanxi and feeling the strange atmosphere, he immediately stepped up his journey, and finally settled in a small town at the foot of Chongyang Palace Mountain, the ancestral court of Quanzhen Dao, two days later. After the seven sons of Quanzhen, there are no more real people in Chongyang Palace, as the saying goes, "wealth is only three generations", ordinary people are like this, and Chongyang Palace, which has a larger foundation, will inevitably decline in hundreds of years. And because the family business is getting bigger and the Taoist inheritance is entangled with Mengyuan, it has always attracted the attention of the imperial court, and gradually got rid of his identity in the rivers and lakes, and no longer participated in the communication of various factions of martial arts. The Taoist people of Chongyang Palace gradually do not consider themselves a member of the martial arts, and they have morning and evening classes as usual every day, concentrating on cultivation, and they also host some offerings for the life and death events of the surrounding big families.
Lin Zhennan's master and servant visited Chongyang Palace in the name of catechumens and secretly visited the tomb of the living dead. The master and servant visited the mountain gate of Chongyang Palace the next day, and inevitably offered rich offerings, and offered to borrow a period of time in the Taoist Palace to copy and write. Since the offering money has been collected, the Taoist has no reason to allow it, and then the people and miscellaneous things have Gamber cuisine, and two days later, the master and servant have already lived in the mountain house behind the Chongyang Palace.
For the next month, accompanied by Gamble, he searched for the ancient tomb in the back mountain but found nothing. One day, Lin Zhennan, who was becoming irritable in his heart, went out alone and wandered around the house, holding the strange book "Golden Plum Bottle" used to distract his mind, and suddenly saw a dwarf tree growing obliquely by the stream, and a knotted branch stretched out above the stream under the thick shade, and he was immediately happy. Lin Zhennan showed a childlike nature, and put aside all the troubles that he couldn't invest in the teacher recently, brushed up the hair, tucked the front robe, and climbed the tree with a swish, found a suitable posture and opened the treasure book and began to wander.
About half an hour, it was the time to get into the taste, a red line flashed in front of him, the smell of fish, Lin Zhennan instinctively dodged but did not expect that he was leaning on the tree, poofed and fell into the stream, the stream is as high as an adult's calf, Lin Zhennan fell down, choked a few mouthfuls of sweet mountain stream water in his mouth and nose, and was dizzy and got up, just before meeting a dry old man wearing a gray cloth coat, holding a snake that was not yet dead, the three-edged snake head was not big, the green snake body was five feet long, and suddenly understood that the red line was the snake letter, and regardless of the embarrassed appearance of the soaked body, he hurriedly stuffed the treasure book in his hand into his arms and gave a deep salute"Thank you for saving me!"
The old man nodded, shook his head again and again, muttered something, turned around and was about to leave with the snake.
"After the end of Nanshan Mountain, the tomb of the living dead, the Condor Heroes, extinct rivers and lakes!" It turned out that Lin Zhennan felt strange, since this old man could catch snakes in a thousand moments, he could also save himself from falling. It was really strange that he didn't save himself, so he shouted this sentence to tempt.
As soon as the words fell, Lin Zhennan intuitively felt that the gray shadow flashed in front of him, and the five-foot-tall young man felt that the back of his neck was being lifted, and it became difficult to breathe.
"How do you know this?" Lin Zhennan was stunned for a moment, and was about to struggle, when he heard this, he immediately rejoiced, and hurriedly asked without answering: "Are you a descendant of the ancient tomb?"
This is not true, Lin Zhennan's most ideal result is only to find the ancient tomb and not want to meet the ancient tomb heirs, after all, it takes more explanations to get recognition, of course, when encountering the peerless school, there are ancient tomb heirs to protect it, and the plan has already been prepared.
I saw that the old man was silent, his feet were tightened, carrying a snake in his left hand and a person in his right hand, turning left and right in the mountains and forests, and entering an open flat land, the flat land had an area of several acres, and there were several wooden houses in the middle, all of which were made of logs, and there were branches and vines growing on the wooden wall, which did not look new.
The old man threw the captured Lin Zhennan on the ground and went into the house to concoct the big snake. Lin Zhennan was deliberately slammed to the ground, and suddenly felt that the bones in his whole body were broken, and he wanted to struggle to get up, but he couldn't make any effort to come, so he had to silently recite "If you come, you will be safe, and if you come, you will be safe" simply lay on the ground, waiting for the old man to take the initiative to ask himself. The old man entered the house for a while, and a smell wafted from within, apparently freshly boiled snake soup.
The old man who had finished concocting the snake soup seemed to finally remember Lin Zhennan at this time, picked him up and threw him into the corner of the room, and then sat facing him:
"You said that you came to find the tomb of the living dead, and you came here to apprentice, where did you know about the tomb of the living dead? Even you, a child who doesn't know martial arts, know the tomb of the living dead, is the specific location of the ancient tomb already known to everyone in the rivers and lakes?"
"Uh!" Lin Zhennan found that the old man's tone trembled slightly, as if he was trying his best to suppress the agitation in his heart, and the fierceness in his eyes also made Lin Zhennan realize that this strange old man had a strange background, and he may not necessarily be the descendant of the Yang family he thought, and quickly calculated in his heart: This old man has been living in the back mountain, and it seems that he has been living for some years, but he has not heard the Taoist priest of Chongyang Palace mention it, so it can be seen that he is deliberately avoiding, how can he show up to meet me? He said that he wanted to save people, but he didn't necessarily have a bad temperament, and I had nothing to do with him, so he must have a purpose to get close to me before he came to the rescue.
Thinking of this, I didn't dare to delay, and hurriedly replied with prepared words: "My ancestors have received the great grace of the descendants of the Condor Heroes, and then I collected everywhere to know the origin and allusions of the ancient tomb, and now my family's martial arts are lost, the family property has been taken away, and my parents have been killed by the wicked people on the rivers and lakes, I can escape the catastrophe under the care of the old servants at home, I want to take revenge, so I found here to try my luck, hoping to get the mercy of the heirs of the ancient tomb, learn the martial arts, and kill those wicked people with human faces and beast hearts one by one, and pay tribute to my father!"
Speaking of this, tears fell into tears, gritting teeth, and it was really a sigh of gratitude from the hearer.
The old man's tone softened: "Why do you want to come here, specifically looking for the Tomb Sect to learn martial arts? There are so many famous sects in the world, as long as you worship the master, why can't I help you take revenge?"
"My enemy is the current famous and decent family, don't say help me avenge, I'm afraid that many people want to kill me to befriend this famous family. “
"Oh, then what sect is your enemy? But can you tell me?"
"Then dare to ask who you are? Although I am young, I also know that if there is no need to avoid the practice of cause and effect. “
"Haha, at such a young age, it is indeed extraordinary. I won't tell you anything, the old man is a scattered person, there is no sect, and his martial arts are also skillfully snatched, and there is no relationship with the famous and decent family you said, hehe. In that case, the old man can be useful to you. “
Speaking of this, he finally laughed, it seemed that he had been separated from the group all the year round, and the laughter was ugly, and he returned to his senses and poured out a gourd and a wooden bowl, and poured out half a bowl of turquoise liquid, "Drink this, go back and finish the matter of Chongyang Palace, and come back with your old servant to find me, and then there will be other orders!"
Then he turned his head and concocted snake soup.
Lin Zhennan was patted on the body, and suddenly felt that his body was light, and he quickly escaped from the wooden house. This is the first time that Lin Zhennan has acted alone in the face of people in the rivers and lakes, and along the way, all the details before and after have been repeated in his mind, weighing and analyzing:
First, this old man is not a descendant of the ancient tomb and is so sensitive to the affairs of the ancient tomb, he should be a fellow traveler;
Second, this old man has searched the ancient tomb for many years, and no one interferes with the expulsion, it can be seen that the ancient tomb is not guarded by a successor, and he has not been able to search for many years, it can be seen that the ancient tomb is covered by someone with a heart, and there must be treasures in it, even if the secret is not easy to preserve, but at least the stone wall martial arts is bound to remain;
Third, this old man has no background in the power of the rivers and lakes, and has lived here for many years without interacting with the outside world, if he does not see himself and Gan Boyue acting secretly, he will not show up to tempt, it can be seen that there may be persecution by a big enemy outside the mountain, and he has no choice but to hide here, hoping to obtain the ancient tomb martial arts can go out of the mountain;
Fourth, the strange medicine is taken out by the old man, like a commonly used gourd, which may not be really poison, even if, since he has his own place, then it should only be to coerce himself to serve it.
Knowing it clearly bit by bit, the original situation suddenly became clear, and my heart jumped.
