The Alternative Way of Enlightenment

Chapter 28 Found the Clumsy Bow with Bug Eyes

The three of them passed the book around and took notes. Then they returned it to Li Ruoyu and said goodbye so as not to disturb his practice.

Liu Shan took Xiao Nannan, Ye Fan and Ji Ziyue to the mountainside of Zhuofeng. Zhuofeng had been abandoned for a long time, and there were birds and beasts running rampant here. The three saw that these arrogant birds and beasts were not afraid of people, so they decided to teach them a lesson and have an open-air barbecue here.

Soon Liu Shan came over with the cleaned black deer, and Ye Fan also cleared a piece of space, and then used the cleared trees as wood to light a fire. Ji Ziyue continued to tease the little girl on the side.

The sky gradually darkened, and the moonlight and starlight covered everyone's heads. Ye Fan had been wandering outside for a long time, and his barbecue skills were quite good, so he was the one who grilled the meat this time.

After it was roasted, the meat was given to little girl first, and then the three of them started eating while chatting.

Ye Fan looked at the mountain in the distance that was covered with starlight and directly enveloped by the power of the stars, and asked Liu Shan curiously, "Isn't that the Star Peak?"

Liu Shan turned his head and nodded, "Yes, that's the Star Peak. At night, the Star Peak will be full of starlight and star power. Practicing star secrets there will be twice the result with half the effort, just like someone is feeding you energy.

After listening to what Liu Shan said, Ye Fan's face was full of envy. He wondered when he would be able to have such treatment.

Liu Shan looked at Ye Fan's expression, understood his thoughts, and said to Ye Fan: "In the entire Taixuan Sect, only Xingfeng has this treatment. Xingfeng's inheritance has never been broken, and half of the masters of Taixuan Sect are from the Xingfeng Hua family. After generations of efforts, Xingfeng has achieved its unique status."

The three of them ate and chatted, feeling quite comfortable under the moonlight and starlight. After eating, seeing the little girl sleeping in Ji Ziyue's arms, Liu Shan said to Ye Fan: "Although Zhuofeng has declined, it was once glorious. There is only Master Li Ruoyu in Zhuofeng. Who knows if there are magic weapons and inheritances hidden here that he has not discovered? Let's try our luck."

Ye Fan also became excited when he heard this, and then looked at Ji Ziyue.

Ji Ziyue understood what he meant, and then said, "You guys go, I'll take care of Xiaonan." She knew that Li Ruoyu's cultivation was so high that he could find any treasures in Zhuofeng with his spiritual sense, so there must be no treasures here. But since these two people were interested, she would not say it out loud.

Liu Shan and the other man began to search separately under the moonlight.

Zhuofeng has really been in decline for a long time. There are weeds and trees everywhere. Except for the road leading up the mountain, there are no roads around. The two could only clean up and search at the same time.

While cleaning, Liu Shan looked in the direction of the crow he saw when he went up the mountain.

Ye Fan was indeed the protagonist, and his luck was overwhelming. After a while, he found a worn-out bow in a cave.

He held it in his hand, repeatedly looking at the blackened bow, which looked as if it had been burned by fire and had worm holes on it. The bow looked extremely rotten, and people were afraid to use it, as if it would collapse if they pulled it too hard.

Ye Fan thought it was just a broken bow, but he found it in Zhuofeng, so he found Liu Shan, handed it to him and asked him to take a look.

Liu Shan took the bow and looked at it repeatedly, thinking that this was most likely Zhuo Feng's bow. Although it looked inconspicuous, black, and seemed to be broken at any time, it was the key to unlocking the inheritance.

"I don't understand it either. Let's show it to Uncle Li Ruoyu. It might really be a great treasure." Liu Shan and Ye Fan said.

Then he and Ye Fan found Ji Ziyue again and showed her the clumsy bow. She didn't even take it because she was disgusted. "Master Li Ruoyu has such a high level of cultivation. He must have found this broken bow a long time ago, so he has been leaving it there. You treat it as a treasure."

After hearing this, Ye Fan felt that Ji Ziyue was right and sat down with some disappointment.

Liu Shan felt speechless. He had no way to explain how this broken bow could be Zhuo Feng's inherited treasure.

Suo Xing didn't waste any more time talking and flew directly to the top of the mountain with the two of them, where he found Li Ruoyu.

"Is Master here? Ye Fan found a bow on the mountainside. It looks a bit ancient and old. We are not sure whether it is a treasure lost in Zhuofeng."

Li Ruoyu walked out of the house after hearing this. Under the moonlight, Liu Shan handed the bow to Li Ruoyu. Li Ruoyu took the bow, looked at the black bow carefully, and then gently stroked the black bow.

He had recognized the Zhuo Bow and was a little excited. After all, the Zhuo Bow was once Zhuo Feng's treasure, although it had been lost for many years.

He began to try to slowly pull the bow. The moment he pulled the bow, the surrounding space was visibly trembling, and a strong spatial fluctuation spread out. The whole space seemed to be distorted and constantly pulled. The three of them looked at the bow in Li Ruoyu's hand with horror.

Ye Fan and Ji Ziyue didn't expect that this broken bow with worm holes in it could be so terrifying.

On the ancient tree not far away, the crows that were originally croaking, one of the crows, at this moment, turned into a black light and flew over, disappearing into the bow in Li Ruoyu's hand. The dark bow seemed to have life, although there was no obvious change in appearance, but it made people feel that it was even more terrifying.

Li Ruoyu slowly retracted his hand that was pulling the bow. Suddenly, the surrounding pressure slowly dissipated, and a black light flew out of the bow, turning into a crow and flying towards the old tree.

The noise just now was too loud, and several old men flew over quickly from a distance. The old man landed on the mountainside, and then walked quickly to the top of the mountain.

As we got closer, we found that these old men were all elders from other peaks, and one of them was even an elder from Xing Peak.

The leader's eyes narrowed when he saw the clumsy bow in Li Ruoyu's hand. He also recognized this long-lost clumsy bow, and then he bowed to Li Ruoyu and said, "Congratulations, Senior Brother, Zhuofeng has found the clumsy bow. The inheritance of Zhuofeng's lineage is about to begin, and Zhuofeng will shine throughout the East Wilderness. Taixuan Sect will have another top inheritance."

"My bow has appeared, and soon my peak will soar into the sky." said another elder.

"Congratulations, senior brother. After waiting for so long, you have finally been rewarded." said the other old man.

After Li Ruoyu and the others finished speaking, "Zhuofeng's inheritance has been broken for too long. Now we only have two new disciples. There is still little hope if we rely on them."

"Brother, don't worry. We will not watch Zhuo Feng's inheritance go uninherited. After we go back, we will inform the disciples that anyone who is willing to join Zhuo Feng can directly transfer to Zhuo Feng's sect." The other elders nodded in agreement.

The elder of Xingfeng said to Liu Shan who was standing beside him, "The inheritance of Zhuofeng will be opened soon. The natural way it inherits is not inferior to the star way of Xingfeng. Are you interested in joining Zhuofeng?"

Liu Shan said without hesitation: "Disciple is willing to become a disciple of Zhuofeng."

He had no objection to joining Zhuofeng. After all, Hua Yunfei had handed over the main inheritance of Xingfeng to Liu Shan, so it was good to refer to the way of nature. His relationship with Hua Yunfei would not change because of joining Zhuofeng. Besides, Li Ruoyu would be a strong thigh in the future, so it would not hurt to hold on to him.

Then several elders said goodbye and left. Zhuofeng was about to rise, and there were too many things to discuss, such as the redistribution of benefits.

After the elders left, Li Ruoyu took the bow and walked to the nine-step ladder of Zhuo Peak. Liu Shan and the other two followed him, and saw him slowly put the bow in front of the ladder.

He said to himself, "It is said that the mountain is the scripture and the bow is the root. This bow is the key to Zhuofeng's inheritance. Let's try now to see if we can make Zhuofeng's inheritance reappear."

The moment my clumsy bow touched the ladder, water waves began to flow on the jade steps, changing from solid to liquid. My clumsy bow sank into it. Just when half of my bow was submerged in it, flames began to jump and my clumsy bow slowly burned.

Ji Ziyue looked at the clumsy bow and saw it was burning. She said distressedly, "This is a precious treasure. It won't burn like this, will it?"

"No, the mountain bow and the mountain bow are one. My humble bow will be integrated into my humble peak and become even more powerful." Li Ruoyu answered her.

The clumsy bow slowly merged into the ladder and disappeared. Everything became quiet.

Li Ruoyu sat cross-legged on the ladder, motionless. He wanted to quietly feel the changes in the entire Zhuofeng, ready to wait for the opening of Zhuofeng's inheritance.

Everything was quiet, as if nothing had happened and nothing had changed.

The three of them also sat quietly aside, waiting.

Gradually, the jade ladder began to grow larger and larger, and then continued to grow larger until it became nine platforms, with palaces and pavilions on top of the platforms.

At this time, Li Ruoyu was attracted into the palace, and the three followed closely and flew in.

Li Ruoyu did not resist, feeling all these changes. It seems that he sensed the inheritance from Zhuofeng. After all, all his cultivation came from Zhuofeng, so he could easily accept Zhuofeng's inheritance.

Liu Shan and the other two did not sense any changes or inheritance. After all, they had only been here for two days and had not practiced Zhuo Feng's secret method, so they could not feel Zhuo Feng's inheritance.

Liu Shan knew that in the original text, Ye Fan relied on the Bodhi seeds to comprehend Zhuofeng's natural way and nine secrets. He quickly took out the only two remaining Bodhi leaves, showed them to Ye Fan, and put them in his mouth. Ye Fan understood and took out the Bodhi seeds and began to comprehend.
