Start with ten times the talent of Zhang Sanfeng

Chapter 237 Pegasus Ranch
"Oh? The old man has heard of the trace of this strange book?"

Meng Xiuyuan was quite surprised to hear Lu Miaozi's words.

He only remembered that this "Longevity Jue" was one of the four great magic arts in this world, and it was infinitely miraculous.The original protagonists, Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling, have grown from two gangsters on the streets of Yangzhou to peerless masters in just a few years.

Would it be so easy to find such a divine book?
Seeing Meng Xiuyuan's suspicious look, Lu Miaozi couldn't help laughing immediately, and said nonchalantly:
"Haha, it seems that you, little brother, still underestimated the old man.

A copy of "The Secret of Longevity" is rare, but if I, Lu Miaozi, want to find it, it is only a matter of time..."

At this point, the old man changed his words a bit, and warned Meng Xiuyuan:

"Little brother, although I don't know where you heard about the "Secret of Longevity", I still want to remind you a few words.

Although this strange book has a great name, if you want to use it to cultivate martial arts true energy, then I'd better advise you to give up earlier.

After all, this "Secret of Longevity" is just a Taoist Qigong, but it is not a martial art that can hurt people.

More importantly, according to oral traditions of the past dynasties, this book comes from Guangchengzi, the teacher of the Yellow Emperor in ancient times. It is written in oracle bone inscriptions and is very profound and difficult to understand.

Those who have read this book among the sages.Although there is no shortage of intelligent people, but no one has ever been able to comprehend and decipher the entire book.

There are a total of 3000 glyphs in the book, but only more than [-] glyphs have been deciphered.

The book is also densely covered with annotations from those who have read the book, but they are often more confusing than the original text.

Fortunately, there are seven human figures in the book, which seem to be describing a certain method of cultivation.

But those who don’t understand its meaning can still do it without practicing, if you force the inner Qi to be stimulated according to the diagram, the Qi and blood will surge immediately, and then you will go crazy, it’s extremely dangerous..."

Hearing Lu Miaozi's detailed explanation like an encyclopedia, Meng Xiuyuan's heart was moved, and he secretly thought that the old man was quite sincere at this time, and he took the initiative to explain the matter clearly, and did not lie to him with the information gap.

Smiling slightly, Meng Xiuyuan replied to Lu Miaozi:
"Thank you for reminding me, old man, but I still want to see this extraordinary skill.

I just want to ask, if you want to find the whereabouts of this divine book, old man, how long will it take? "

Seeing Meng Xiuyuan's insistence, Lu Miaozi didn't say much. After bowing his head and pondering for a while, he opened his mouth and answered:
"Actually, in my capacity, I wanted to do this kind of thing, but I just had to call out, and someone would come to my door for flattery.

However, even though 20 years have passed, I am afraid that the temptress Zhu Yuyan will still take my life, so I can't reveal my whereabouts.

Hmm... well, little brother.

If you really want to know the whereabouts of the "Secret of Longevity", I can use some hidden relationship channels for it, and send people to search everywhere in the world.

To act in this way, although the efficiency is not high, the progress will be relatively slow.

But in three to five years, there should be news..."

Meng Xiuyuan hadn't recovered his skills, so he didn't want to get involved in many complicated matters first, so he nodded immediately when he heard Lu Miaozi say this, and smiled at the old man:
"Okay, if that's the case, let's meet again in five years.

Please also ask the old gentleman to search for the whereabouts of the "Longevity Formula" first during this period.

At that time, if you have something to ask me to do, we can talk about it in detail..."

Lu Miaozi was taken aback when he heard the words, he didn't expect Meng Xiuyuan to make such a suggestion, and subconsciously wanted to veto it.But when he looked up, he saw that Meng Xiuyuan's slightly immature face was full of firmness, and he frowned, but he didn't say anything.

After thinking for a moment, Lu Miaozi shook his head, sighed and said:

"Ha, I, Lu Miaozi, have been unrestrained all my life, but I don't want to be restrained everywhere in front of a child like you.

Well, according to the little brother's meaning, who is the old man asking for you.

Five years later, I will definitely find out the whereabouts of the "Longevity Formula".

I still hope that when the time comes, little brother, don’t let me down..."

Meng Xiuyuan smiled again when he heard the words, and said to the old man in front of him:

"Thank you, old gentleman, for your generosity, then our matter is settled.

Five years later, how about we still meet in this small town? "

Lu Miaozi hesitated for a moment, finally shook his head, and said to Meng Xiuyuan:

"Although this is not a big city, after all, there are too many people, and the walls have ears, which is not conducive to discussing serious matters.

Five years from now, please, little brother, come and find me at Pegasus Ranch..."

Hearing the words, Meng Xiuyuan didn't refuse, just nodded, cupped his hands lightly, and immediately turned around and left.

……

Time flies, five years is a long time, but it is just fleeting.

After saying goodbye to Lu Miaozi, Meng Xiuyuan really found a remote mountain and wild forest, lived in seclusion, and never came out again.

Meng Xiuyuan has long been used to life like this, not caring about worldly affairs and devoting himself to practice, so he doesn't feel lonely and difficult.

On the contrary, it is an indescribable joy to practice qi day and night, work hard day and night, and feel my solid progress every minute and every second.

After traveling through the third life, Meng Xiuyuan was still indulging in this comforting feeling from his own heart, just like when he first learned internal skills on Wudang Mountain.

The difference is that after another reincarnation and the substantial strengthening of the bones of his body, Meng Xiuyuan's speed of practicing inner strength is further accelerated compared to his previous life.

If he had to use a quantitative method, the hacker that he has been relying on for a long time should be called "forty times Zhang Sanfeng's internal strength talent" at this moment.

From this, it can be imagined that the happiness he felt from refining his true energy also multiplied.

Its power is so strong, if Meng Xiuyuan didn't recite the "Shangqing Huangting External Scenery" every day, it would make his spirit clear and his mind clear, and he would even feel that he might be addicted to it, so that he would go astray.

This situation changed slightly until about a year ago.

At that time, Meng Xiuyuan had sufficient Beiming Zhenqi in his body, so he simply started the second stage of cultivation, which was to absorb the pure spiritual energy of heaven and earth and integrate it into his body just like the last period of his previous life.

Compared with simply refining and transforming qi before, the process of absorbing the aura of heaven and earth is equally miraculous and unspeakable, but the difference is that it is accompanied by many illusions of refining the mind, so that Meng Xiuyuan can't help but change his focus and slightly distract Meng Xiuyuan from his cultivation. It felt like being in bliss.

The reason why I mention this is to explain Meng Xiuyuan's state of mind at this time.

The five-year agreement was approaching, and in Meng Xiuyuan's heart, he actually didn't have too much expectation for the old Mr. Lu Miaozi. After all, the two just met each other once, so the "Longevity Secret" may not be reliable.

Furthermore, Meng Xiuyuan is currently cultivating vigorously, and he feels that his martial arts has surpassed his previous life, but he is far from seeing obstacles and bottlenecks.Whether it is body or true energy, they are still improving steadily every day.

It is objectively estimated that even if he continues to practice only according to the miraculous skills of the Xiaoyao Sect, in three or five years, he will definitely make great progress in martial arts.

In this situation, Meng Xiuyuan's subjective desire to find Lu Miaozi is naturally not strong.

It was because he had something to say first and he didn't want to miss the appointment, that he reluctantly walked out of the deep mountain.

……

Pegasus Ranch is located in the middle of Hubei, southwest of Jingling County.

Zhangshui and Jushui, the two tributaries of the Yangtze River, delineate a large triangular fertile plain here, and the two rivers flow through, irrigating the fertile fields on both banks.

The Pegasus Ranch is surrounded by mountains on all sides, enclosing more than ten square miles of fertile fields, and there are only two canyons to enter and exit.The situation is dangerous, forming a natural screen for the ranch.

There is a tower at the exit of the gorge. In front of the building, a tunnel three feet wide and five feet deep is dug across the mouth of the gorge. The bottom is covered with spikes. You must pass the suspension bridge to enter the pasture. trend.

Under such a favorable location, the guards on the ranch were a little lax, and the sun was warm, and only a burly soldier was dozing off on the tower.

"Hello, that brother on the tower, can you inform me?

Let’s say that Meng Xiuyuan came to Pegasus Ranch to find old Mr. Lu Miaozi and fulfill the five-year agreement..."

The clear voice reached the ears, startling the guard.He trembled, and hurriedly straightened his helmet, raised the spear in his hand, and looked around, looking for the person who spoke.

After a while, he realized that there was only a young man in simple clothes standing far under the city tower.

"Little brother, tell me, who are you looking for?"

Although the guard saw Meng Xiuyuan's plain clothes and young age, he recognized the kung fu of conveying his true energy just now.So I didn't dare to be negligent, so I hurriedly asked.

"I'm looking for old Mr. Lu Miaozi." Meng Xiuyuan smiled slightly and said again.

Unexpectedly, the guard was at a loss when he heard the words:
"Lu Miaozi...Little brother, are you sure you've gone to the right place?"

Obviously, the guard had no idea that there was such a person in the ranch.

"Oh... forget it then."

Seeing this, Meng Xiuyuan was taken aback for a moment, but he had no regrets. He only felt that he had fulfilled the agreement, so he immediately agreed, turned around and wanted to leave.

"Wait a minute, little brother, I'd better go and inform you first, just wait a moment..."

The guard was clever, seeing Meng Xiuyuan's refined temperament and superb martial arts, he knew that he must be no ordinary person.Afraid of missing a major event, choose to be more cautious.

Hearing the words, Meng Xiuyuan nodded his head and stayed in place quietly.

After about a cup of tea, the suspension bridge in front of the city tower was suddenly lowered, and the city gate was slowly opened, and a maid in brocade clothes came out from the door:
"Young Master Meng, please follow me..."

The servant girl's attitude towards Meng Xiuyuan was very strange, she just said something so lightly, without waiting for Meng Xiuyuan's answer, she turned around and walked into the tower, leading the way in front.

Meng Xiuyuan didn't care, he walked leisurely behind her, crossed the suspension bridge together, and walked towards the interior of the ranch.

After entering the city, there is a spacious ramp extending upwards, with continuous houses on both sides, built against the mountains.People and vehicles on the road come and go, and children play in groups, just like a prosperous big city.

The maid took Meng Xiuyuan along the main road to the inner fort where the owner lived, and then walked around the inner fort for a long time before turning to a secluded and quiet garden with a beautiful scenery in the back mountain. among.

"Mr. Lu is inside, please ask Mr. Meng to go in by himself..."

After saying these words, the maid immediately turned around and left.

Meng Xiuyuan was not angry when he saw this scene, but couldn't help but smile in his heart, he just said that Mr. Lu was talking arrogantly, but the situation was not too good.

"Little brother, you are finally here!"

Before Meng Xiuyuan entered along the road, the old Mr. Lu Miaozi came out to welcome him.

As soon as the two met, they couldn't help looking at each other.

Meng Xiu looked at Lu Miaozi from a distance, and felt that he had lost his breath for five years, obviously suffering from internal injuries.

But Lu Miaozi looked at Meng Xiuyuan, but felt that this little brother had not seen him for five years, not only had he grown from a child into a handsome and elegant young man, but his physical strength was even more unfathomable.

"Since I have made an agreement with the old gentleman, I dare not break the contract.

I just don't know, has the old man found the whereabouts of the "Secret of Longevity"? "

Meng Xiuyuan cupped his hands lightly, and asked Lu Miaozi bluntly.

Lu Miaozi heard the sound, nodded with a smile, and immediately said to Meng Xiuyuan:
"There are indeed some clues about this matter, but let's talk about the specifics after entering the house..."

Meng Xiuyuan nodded, followed behind Lu Miaozi with a smile.The two walked in all the way, turned left and right, and it suddenly became clear in front of them that there was a two-story small building built on the terrace facing the cliff, with an elegant style.

On the main entrance of the small building is engraved a plaque of "Easy Nest", and each of the two beams and pillars at the entrance is hung with a couplet, which is written on the wooden sign, "It's time to tune the piano in the morning, and play the zither in the evening; the old rain is coming, and the new rain is coming. "The font is elegant and dusty, vigorous and powerful.

Lu Miaozi asked Meng Xiuyuan to sit down on the balcony on the second floor, poured tea for him with his own hands, and then said:

"Little brother, I am very glad that you can come today.

The "Secret of Longevity" that I begged for you is not in vain. It has been a lot of work in the past five years.

But, before I talk about the "Secret of Longevity", I want to talk about what I want you to do..."

Meng Xiuyuan took a sip of tea, raised his head and said to Lu Miaozi:
"Mister, in fact, if you don't tell me, I can roughly guess what you called the transaction.

From what you said five years ago, it was obvious that I had a deep resentment towards Zhu Yuyan, the Queen of the Yin Gui Sect.

What you are looking forward to is to let me avenge you in the future, right? "

When Lu Miaozi heard Meng Xiuyuan's words, he nodded solemnly and replied:
"Little brother's words are true, until this dying year, I don't have many things on my mind.

It's hard to let go of this resentment.

Zhu Yuyan's witchcraft's evil skills have reached the acme of magic, and she has unpredictable skills. Ning Daoqi has fought her three times, although she was able to win, but in the end she couldn't win.

As an old man and myself, I can't think of a way to deal with her, so I can only linger on in this Pegasus Ranch..."

Meng Xiuyuan shook his head slightly when he heard the words, and said to Lu Miaozi:
"Old man, let's not talk about it, I don't know what kind of person Zhu Yuyan is, whether she is full of evil and deserves to die.

Based on her martial arts alone, even Ning Daoqi, who is known as the "No. 1 martial arts in the Central Plains", can't do anything to her.

Why do you think I can do it? "

Lu Miaozi laughed when he heard the words, turned his eyes to Meng Xiuyuan, and said confidently:
"Little brother, trust me, as long as you follow my plan.

Within 30 years, I will give you the strength to defeat that temptress! "

　Brothers who are more familiar with The Legend of Double Dragon of the Tang Dynasty, can you talk about this book in the comments?
　　For example, do you think there are any particularly exciting plots, characters you particularly like or dislike, or things that are difficult to understand.

　　For so many days, I tried my best to squeeze out time to read the original work, but until now I have only read half of it, and my head is a little dizzy.

　　I tried my best to study this book with the feeling of studying "Yi Tian Tu Long Ji" and "Dragon Ba Bu" before, but I felt that there was something wrong no matter how I read it.

　　There are many characters, and there are many descriptions of various battles and adventures, but after watching the plot, I don't feel that I left any deep impression. I just remember that the two protagonists, Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling, grew up all the way and met all kinds of characters. the beauties...

　　Is the exciting plot behind?
