Chapter 139 Peach Blossom Island

Meng Xiuyuan's sincere and frank narration sounded like a knife fell from the sky to Zhou Zhiruo's ears.

At this time, she froze in place, her cherry lips parted slightly, unable to speak for a while.

That face, which was originally as white as jade, was even a little paler now, like colorless thin paper.

After a while, she lightly touched the scabbard of the real martial arts sword in her hand, and asked Meng Xiuyuan softly:
"This real martial arts sword of Grand Master, Master, you have always cherished it, so you are really willing to give it to me today?"

Meng Xiuyuan nodded slightly when he heard the words, and said softly:
"This sword was passed down to me by my master ten years ago when I went down the mountain to practice.

At that time, he asked his elder brother to pass the news on his behalf, saying that this sword helped him kill many villains when he was young.

It was given to me so that I would have a sharp weapon for self-defense when punishing rape and eradicating evil, so as to be safe.

It is with this thought that I give it to you today.

I hope it can protect you and help you punish rape and eliminate evil. "

Zhou Zhiruo snorted when she heard the words, turned her face away to prevent Meng Xiuyuan from seeing her expression, and then said in a trembling voice:

"Hmph, it's just that I've been on the mountain for a long time, Master, are you annoyed by looking at me, why do you say that there are so many things and nothing.

So I packed up my things and went down the mountain to make a living.

I have to come back one day when you miss me. "

After saying that, Zhou Zhiruo turned around and left the room without giving Meng Xiuyuan time to speak.

Meng Xiuyuan watched Zhou Zhiruo's leaving back, but did not stop her.

What he said to Zhou Zhiruo was not to force her to make great achievements and become a famous heroine.

Instead, it was an excuse to let Zhou Zhiruo leave her side for a while.

After all, this girl really needs to go out and see the outside world more now, so that she can really understand her own thoughts.

As for the safety issue during the period, Meng Xiuyuan was not too worried.

Although Zhou Zhiruo's kung fu at this time is not as perfect as Meng Xiuyuan's at that time, but at least it is definitely at the first-class level in the world, not much different from the Huashan Erlao and He Taichong.

As long as she is more careful, no matter how chaotic the world is, there will be no problems after all.

……

So, in the afternoon of that day, Zhou Zhiruo said goodbye to her parents, packed her bags and went down the mountain to practice.

When Meng Xiuyuan went to see her off, he didn't say much to her face to face, but only handed her a letter for her to open and read on the way.

Zhou Zhiruo took it angrily, with a look of reluctance.But when he turned around, he still put it in his arms carefully.

After waving goodbye, Zhou Zhiruo walked down the mountain road.

Meng Xiuyuan didn't make a sound, just watched silently until her back disappeared.

With a soft sigh, Meng Xiuyuan turned around and wanted to go back to the mountain gate.But Xiao Zhao, who came to see him off, quietly reached out and grabbed his sleeve.

"what happened?"

Meng Xiuyuan turned his head to look, but saw that Xiao Zhao was still watching Zhou Zhiruo's direction of going down the mountain, with a complicated expression on his face, he couldn't help asking.

Hearing this, Xiao Zhao looked at Meng Xiuyuan with those blue eyes like the sea and sky, and said softly:

"My lord, I'm so glad that you didn't want to accept me as your apprentice at that time.

Otherwise, will you drive me down the mountain now like you did to sister Zhiruo? "

Meng Xiuyuan didn't know whether to laugh or cry when he heard the words, pulled his sleeve back from her hand, and patted her little head by the way:

"It's not that I drove your sister Zhiruo down the mountain, it's that she has indeed reached the age when she should be independent.

It's the same with you, when you grow up, learn kung fu, and don't fear those enemies of your mother in the past, you will naturally have some achievements of your own. "

Xiao Zhao was startled when he heard the sound, with a pitiful expression on his face.

However, she was careful and knew that she should not speak any more at this time, so she only responded lightly, and then quietly hid behind Meng Xiuyuan, as if to prevent Meng Xiuyuan from seeing her.

Seeing this, Meng Xiuyuan shook his head, ignored her, turned and walked up the mountain.He also had to pack his things and prepare to go down the mountain.

At the same time, on the mountain road of Wudang Mountain, Zhou Zhiruo couldn't hold back her emotions after only walking for a while, and walked to the side road.

When she got to a hidden place, she immediately put down her bag and took out the letter that Meng Xiuyuan sent her from her bosom.

The envelope was very thick, and Zhou Zhiruo took out a large pile of letter paper after opening it.

The ink on the paper had dried up, obviously it wasn't just finished, but Meng Xiuyuan had already anticipated today's situation last night and prepared it in advance.

Zhou Zhiruo clenched her fists, took a deep breath, and it took a long time before she mustered up the courage to read these letters.

I saw that there were no caring and soft words in it, and there was no politeness such as "seeing words as faces".

The letter paper was densely packed, all of which were written about the setbacks that Meng Xiuyuan had personally experienced over the years, as well as the experience and profound lessons he had accumulated in the world.

Regardless of the details, Meng Xiuyuan tried to write it as complete and understandable as possible, so that Zhou Zhiruo could understand it as much as possible, and don't make the same mistakes as him again.

Zhou Zhiruo just stood there for more than an hour, carefully reading through the letter papers abruptly, then folded them up and put them in the envelope, and carefully put them back in her arms.

When they went on the road again, Zhou Zhiruo's bright eyes were filled with tears, but the expression on her face was no longer as sad as when she was going down the mountain.She reluctantly looked up the mountain for a long time before turning her head and continuing on.

……

In the early morning of the second day, after Meng Xiuyuan greeted his master and brothers, he also packed his bags and set off.

After all, the maps hidden in the Yitian Sword and Dragon Slaying Knife have already been obtained, so Meng Xiuyuan naturally wanted to retrieve those secret books and art of war first.

And at the same time, Meng Xiuyuan also thought in his heart, maybe he should go to the ancient tomb to visit Miss Yang.

For more than five years, one of them was in the ancient tomb, and the other was in the Kunlun Green Valley. They retreated separately, but they didn't have the chance to meet each other.

Now that Meng Xiuyuan has left the valley, it is estimated that Miss Yang's kung fu should have also been practiced.

Although I don't know why Miss Yang didn't take the initiative to come to him, Meng Xiuyuan still feels that he should go there.

The two met when they were sixteen or seventeen years old, and now ten years have passed in the blink of an eye.

Looking back at this moment, although many things have gradually blurred over the years, they are friends in need who have gone through danger together and helped each other.

Even if it's just as an old friend, it's worth visiting.

Of course, such trivial matters should be placed in the back row, after returning from Peach Blossom Island.

After all, "Nine Yin Scriptures" is second, but "Wu Mu's Suicide Notes" is the top priority now.

Meng Xiuyuan didn't know the art of war, so he didn't know how effective a book of war could be.

But since in the original book, such a battle-hardened general like Xu Da, after reading it, he said, "Yue Wumu uses soldiers like a god, which is beyond the reach of future generations. If Yue Wumu is still in the world today, leading Heroes of the Central Plains, why don't you drive the Tartars back to Mobei?" Such a high evaluation, Meng Xiuyuan naturally believed that it was indeed useful.

At this moment when the world is in chaos and the rebel army and the Yuan court are at war all the time, a book of war may make the anti-Yuan cause much smoother and save many people from dying in the world.

Naturally, the sooner you get it back, the better.

So, Meng Xiuyuan hurried all the way, heading straight to the southeast.During the period, I did not choose to take the main road for the sake of speed, but tried to ask the local pedestrians for directions at any time, and often took some mountain shortcuts.

After driving like this for half a month, they traveled all the way from Wudang to Zhoushan.

He asked many boatmen on the beach if they knew the location of "Peach Blossom Island".The answer that can be obtained is mostly negative.

After nearly a hundred years, ordinary people have never heard of Dongxie Huang Yaoshi or Guo Jing Huang Rong and his wife, let alone such a small island behind them.

Fortunately, hard work pays off. After repeated confirmation, Meng Xiuyuan discovered that many of them actually knew that there was an island with lush vegetation and fragrant flowers in the southeast sea.

It's just that for many years, none of the people who went to the island without authorization to explore the island can come back alive, so it has always been called "Ghost Flower Island".Meng Xiuyuan asked about the name "Peach Blossom Island", but naturally he couldn't find it.

When Meng Xiuyuan proposed to hire a boat to go to the island, most of the boat owners immediately shook their heads and refused, and dared not go no matter how much money they paid.

Only one man with a vicious look was moved by seeing Meng Xiuyuan take out the white money, and he accepted the job.Said to prepare, then he could take Meng Xiuyuan to the "Ghost Flower Island".

Seeing this, Meng Xiuyuan was naturally happy, and even paid him a deposit in advance.

But before going out to sea, a kind-hearted old boatman secretly found Meng Xiuyuan, reminded him, and advised him not to take that man's boat.

According to what the old boatman said, the man who picked up the job was named Dong Cheng, and he was not from their local area, but just escaped from the south a few months ago.

This person's origin is unknown, and his behavior is somewhat withdrawn, always mysterious.

It is obvious that he has built a small boat, but he often goes out to sea to fish during the day, and rarely carries passengers.

On the contrary, they are seen by people. There are more activities at night, and the people who often go out to sea are a group of murderous men with knives and guns. They hardly do normal business.
In the past, even when chatting with these boatmen, they always concealed their origins and asked questions with a strong purpose, which seemed to be not pure.

So the boatmen chatted secretly among them, and they all felt that this villain Dong Cheng was not a good man, but had something to do with the pirates who were seeking wealth and killing their lives at sea.

The old boatman saw that Meng Xiuyuan was a good-looking talent at a young age, and he didn't want him to be murdered by villains, so he took the risk to tell him secretly.

After Meng Xiuyuan heard what the old boatman said, although he didn't care about it in his heart, he was grateful for his kindness, and took some pieces of silver from his bosom to give to him as thanks.

Seeing that Meng Xiuyuan insisted on this, the old boatman sighed and stopped trying to persuade him, but told him to be more careful, then turned around and left with the silver taels.

When boarding the boat on the second day, Meng Xiuyuan took a closer look, and sure enough, he saw that Dong Cheng's burly figure seemed to be a result of foreign skills, and the calluses on his hands did not seem to be worn out with oars, but more like Use weapons all year round.

Meng Xiuyuan didn't care too much about this, anyway, no matter if it was a villain or a bandit, he couldn't find anything in his hands.

Other normal boatmen were unwilling to take him out to sea, but Meng Xiuyuan didn't want to force him.Nowadays, it is very good to have such a malicious person come to your door.

The journey to Peach Blossom Island was considered to be uneventful, with no accidents.

It's just that Dong Cheng and Meng Xiuyuan were the only two people on board, and the man couldn't keep his mouth shut, and kept chatting with Meng Xiuyuan insinuatingly, wanting to ask about Meng Xiuyuan's identity and background.

Meng Xiuyuan was not too willing to talk to him when he heard the words, he just evaded it, saying that he was a leisurely reader, and he heard from his classmates that there was a beautiful island in the sea to the east of Mount Putuo, so he was curious and wanted to take a look.

When Dong Cheng heard this, he didn't doubt it.

After all, Meng Xiuyuan had already passed the real martial arts sword to Zhou Zhiruo at this time, so he didn't bring any weapons with him.

With such a handsome and handsome face, paired with a green robe and standing tall, he really looks like a rich man who has never experienced any hardships.

So when the boat was approaching the shore, Meng Xiuyuan could already smell the fragrance of flowers in the sea breeze. Looking from a distance, the island was lush and lush, with clusters of green, red, yellow, and white blooming like brocades, but not just peach blossom.

"I'm going to explore the island, please wait patiently for me."

Meng Xiuyuan disembarked from the boat, explained to Dong, and went to explore the island alone.

After a little walk into the island, Meng Xiuyuan took out the dark iron piece hidden in the Dragon Slaying Saber from his bosom, and compared it carefully.

I saw that the map on the black iron plate was very finely drawn, the road was winding and winding, complicated and unusual, and there were tiny arrows engraved along the road.The road forks at each end, and a small book is drawn at each end.

Apparently, Xu was just in case someone was lucky enough to go to the island and accidentally found the right way. Back then, Guo Jing and Huang Rong did not put all their eggs in one basket. Instead, they set up two book collections on the island. The secret book of war is hidden separately.

Meng Xiuyuan followed the instructions on the map and started searching on the island full of formations and organs.

It has been nearly a hundred years, and some of the mechanism designs have failed, but there are still many dangers.If it weren't for the guidance of the map, even someone as powerful as Meng Xiuyuan would have trouble exploring the island.

It's no wonder that all those who landed on the island died in the past hundred years, leaving behind the name "Ghost Flower Island".

After finding a cave, Meng Xiuyuan followed the map and dug out a sealed stone box. When he opened it, he found it was a manuscript made of a special material.

On the cover of the book are written the words "Compilation of Martial Arts" in graceful handwriting, which may have been written by the heroine Huang Rong herself.

Meng Xiuyuan couldn't help being curious. When he opened it, he saw that the content was much richer than he expected.

In addition to the original "Nine Yin Manual", which includes the general outline, there are also several martial arts with different styles written at the end of the book.

One is the instant martial arts after Huang Yaoshi adapted the "Nine Yin Manual", including "Nine Yin White Bone Claw" and "White Python Whip".

Meng Xiuyuan took a rough look and found that this Huang Yaoshi is worthy of a generation of wizards, he has indeed adapted this kung fu very delicately, making it quick and easy with limited future troubles.

No wonder that in the original timeline, Zhou Zhiruo was able to show her prestige at the "Lion Slaying Conference" after only a few months of learning, defeating the powerful Yin Liting and forcing Yu Lianzhou to almost die with her.

It's just that this kind of kung fu is of no great use to Meng Xiuyuan, it can only be used to broaden his horizons, and save it to pass on to those who are destined in the future.

The second is the kung fu of Huang Yaoshi's own Taohua Island lineage.

In this part, Huang Rong didn't have many records, and only kept one housekeeping skill "Supernatural Ability of Snapping Fingers".

Presumably she was quick-witted, knowing that her father, Huang Yaoshi, was arrogant, and she didn't want to be compared with other magical skills in this book, so she only kept the most powerful one.

Meng Xiuyuan briefly looked at it, and found that this "Supernatural Ability of Snapping the Fingers" is indeed very exquisite, and it can be said to be ingenious in terms of martial arts.

No wonder Huang Yaoshi dared to say that among the five masters back then, he could be as famous as the Southern Emperor's "Yiyang Finger" for decades, and each was good at winning games. Now it seems that he is not boasting.

This "Snap Finger Supernatural Power" can shoot energy, and it can also be used to shoot physical objects such as small stones. The attack distance is far beyond what "Yiyang Finger" can compare.

In the plot of the Condor God, Huang Yaoshi even used his weapon to shake Jinlun Fawang a hundred steps away, which was not much more powerful than modern firearms.

Even with Meng Xiuyuan's martial arts attainments at this time, if he learns it carefully, it will be very helpful, and it may come in handy in the future.

As for the last third person, it is "The Essence of the Eighteen Palms of Subduing the Dragon", which was left by Guo Jing and Guo Daxia.

Presumably, at that time, the mountains and rivers were broken, and the family and the country fell, forcing the honest and somewhat rigid Guo Daxia to break the rules and disregard the rules of the Beggar Gang, and passed on his best kung fu.

Meng Xiuyuan looked at this part of the content, and the handwriting was simple and straightforward, which was obviously different from the previous ones. It was obviously written by Guo Daxia himself.

This "Eighteen Palms of Subduing the Dragon" is known as the first palm technique in the golden book, and it has been running for nearly 200 years, so it is naturally unusual.

Meng Xiuyuan glanced at it and was attracted by its content.

The movements of the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms are simple and concise, and the essence lies in the exertion of force, which can be described as extremely profound.

When I first thought about it, I just felt that it was neither the most rigid nor the most soft. It had both Confucianism and Taoist philosophies, and it was very different from the kung fu that Meng Xiuyuan had learned in the past.

After thinking about it carefully, I feel that it takes into account both rigidity and softness, is invincible and invincible.

Although it may be disrespectful to the master, but in all honesty, Zhang Sanfeng's "Zhenkong Palm" created for Meng Xiuyuan is indeed a bit weaker than this "Eighteen Palms of Subduing the Dragon" in every way. point.

It also requires profound internal strength as the foundation, but the "Eighteen Palms of Subduing the Dragon" is more than brilliant in its display of strength.

If Meng Xiuyuan devotes himself to learning it in the future, the power of the palm technique he will display will definitely be much stronger than it is now.

After a while, Meng Xiuyuan finally closed the book with some reluctance, and let out a sigh of relief.

He sighed secretly in his heart, as expected, every era has its own heroes. The martial arts contained in this book are much better than what Meng Xiuyuan expected. It can be seen how elegant the old and new masters in the Jianghu should be at that time. .

At this time, Meng Xiuyuan was even a little regretful, feeling that there was a shortage of masters in the Yitian world he had traveled through. Except for Master Zhang Zhenren, a great master of martial arts, he would not see any other top figures.

Along the way of martial arts, I couldn't help but feel a little lonely.

However, Meng Xiuyuan didn't feel emotional for too long.After putting away the booklet, he turned around and left the cave, and then explored the rest of the place marked on the map.

No surprises, in another hidden cave, Meng Xiuyuan found another manuscript with "Collection of Art of War" written on the cover.

Looking at its handwriting, it is the same as the "Essence of the Eighteen Palms of Subduing the Dragon" in the previous book, and it is presumably written by Guo Jing and Guo Daxia himself.

It's just that by the time of this book, Guo Daxia's handwriting can already be seen to be a little scribbled, and there is a feeling of anxiety between the lines.

Presumably, the war was on the verge of defeat at that time, and Guo Daxia was busy with military affairs every day, so it was not easy to find time to write this book.

Meng Xiuyuan flipped through it briefly, and saw that the first half of the content was copied from the original "Wu Mu's Suicide Note" without any mistakes, because he could see that the habit of choosing words and making sentences was very different from that of Guo Daxia.

And part of the content attached later is Guo Jing's own perception of using troops and his original understanding of "Wu Mu's Suicide Note".

Although Meng Xiuyuan didn't understand the art of war, after reading it, he felt that the second half of the article was also very valuable.

After all, Guo Daxia had followed Yuan Taizu Genghis Khan in his expeditions to the west, and he knew the way of the Mongols in field warfare. He also wrote these points into the art of war. However, facing the Mongolian enemy is more targeted.

After a while, Meng Xiuyuan decisively put away the manual.

Compared with martial arts, Meng Xiuyuan is a complete layman in this art of war, so it seems that he is not as addicted as the previous book.

After leaving the cave, when Meng Xiuyuan returned to the shore along the road, the sky was already getting dark.

He walked briskly all the way, and he was still rejoicing in harvesting these two precious books.

Unexpectedly, as soon as they arrived at the shore, they saw that something was wrong.

At this time, on the edge of the beach, there were far more than the small boat that came, but several more unknown sailing boats.

There was not only Dong Cheng alone on the coast, but there were about a dozen No. 20 people in total, each holding a weapon and waiting there with a ferocious expression.

The boatman Dong Cheng was obviously in the same group as these people, he was also holding a long gun that came from nowhere, standing at the head of the crowd.

As soon as Meng Xiuyuan came out of the woods, the group saw him immediately, and the leader, the boatman Dong Cheng, shouted at Meng Xiuyuan:
"My lord, come here quickly, we have something to talk to you about.

Don't think about running away, you can't go there without a boat in this vast ocean.

Don't waste our brother's time. "

Meng Xiuyuan laughed when he heard the sound, and walked straight towards them, and couldn't help laughing:
"Who said I was going to run away.

I'm still waiting to hear, what's the big deal for you, and you want to find so many people to talk to me together. "

(End of this chapter)
