Chapter 149: The Three-Kill Sweeping Monk
Fang Xun and the other two walked all the way back to their guest house. On the way, they saw a large number of Six Gates detectives also going up the mountain.
Not only did the Six Gates detectives go up the mountain, but even those martial arts people who came to Mojian Peak to watch the ceremony were ordered not to go down the mountain for the time being.
After asking around along the way, Fang Xun learned that people were now only allowed to enter Mojian Peak but not leave. Yu Jiaolong planned to stay here for a while and strictly interrogate Su Xingcan and other members of the Black Water Abyss to search for clues.
Moreover, soon, Jinling Prefecture will send 3,000 troops to station at Tiefeng Town at the foot of the mountain, and the leader of the team will also be a powerful master.
After a while, the three of them returned to the guest house, came to the room, and carefully treated Fang Xun's injuries.
After Dongfang Que and Yan Ming helped him treat his injuries and cleaned him up, an hour passed.
The two of them went back to their room to consolidate their gains. Not only did Fang Xun gain a lot, but the two of them also benefited a lot.
Yan Ming's "Vajra Indestructible Divine Art" has been completed, and the next step is to look forward to enlightenment.
Dongfang Que not only achieved enlightenment, but was no longer confused about the road ahead. The divine aura revealed by Fang Xun who possessed Ah Qing directly guided him onto the right track.
Fang Xun in the room changed into new clothes, moved his hands and feet slightly, and checked the injuries inside his body.
The sword energy of "Sword of Life and Death" was too fierce. After swinging the sword, not only the internal organs but also some meridians were damaged.
This kind of injury requires slow recovery and cannot be healed in a short time.
However, free activities are fine, and even fighting is fine, but it can't be too intense.
'It will be about two months at most, which is a good time to reflect on what I have learned from this trip.'
Fang Xun just felt that he was completely free now. As a sick patient, he didn't have to worry about the affairs of the Six Gates. He could just relax and have fun.
He sat cross-legged on the bed and immersed his mind in the martial arts hall.
Fang Xun's figure emerged in the training ground. He looked at the second door. Ah Qing's name was still shining.
He turned and looked at the third door, glanced at Yao Yue's name again, and then pushed open the door.
After the world spun before his eyes, Fang Xun saw a woman in white.
This is a beautiful lady with graceful demeanor. Yao Yue has a petite figure, fluttering skirt, white clothes as white as snow, long hair like clouds, and is delicate and beautiful. There is not a trace of worldly air about her.
At his waist, there is a black and green short sword, one foot and seven inches long. At first glance, it seems to have no luster, but if you look at it for a few more seconds, you will feel that the sword energy is so fierce and intimidating that it is difficult to open your eyes.
It was Yao Yue's personal sword - Bixue Zhaodanqing.
This sword immediately made Fang Xun's eyes light up: "It's actually a spiritual weapon!"
The original book describes this sword as a precious sword handed down from the ancient pre-Qin era.
It is said that when the sword "Blood Shining in Color" was forged, the swordsmith's wife, children, and apprentices all sacrificed their lives for the sword.
However, they all failed to successfully awaken the soul and the swordsmith, in grief and anger, jumped into the furnace himself, and the fire immediately turned green.
After burning for another two days, a Taoist priest passing by saw it and added the final touch, making the sword successfully born.
Although the sword is a good one, the man is more beautiful.
Such a beauty is not only stunningly beautiful, but also has superb martial arts skills. If you can win her heart, it should be a blessing that most men in the world would wish for.
If Fang Xun, before he traveled through time, had come across this kind of soft rice, he would probably have said without hesitation that his stomach was not in good condition and that softer rice was better.
But in the original novel, Jiang Feng refused and instead fell in love with Yao Yue's maid Hua Yuenu. Fang Xun didn't quite understand at first, but after meeting the real person, he finally understood.
It’s because Yao Yue always gives people the feeling of being high and mighty. In the eyes of others, she is a ball of fire, a piece of ice, a sword, or even a ghost or a god, but definitely not a human.
Of course, a man will not fall in love with a woman who is not a "human". No matter how beautiful this woman is, most normal men will only be in awe and fear of her, not love her.
So Yao Yue loves Jiang Feng, but Jiang Feng does not love her. Love can only be happy when both parties are in love with each other.
The look in Fang Xun's eyes immediately made Yao Yue angry. She snorted coldly and said, "Humph! All men in the world are bad!"
Her voice is soft, beautiful, captivating, lively, ethereal, and unpredictable, yet cold, heartless, and terrifying.
There is no one in the world who can forget these words once they have heard them.
It seemed that just because of this light sentence, the place became full of murderous intent and chill, and the surrounding environment also seemed to become cold because of this sentence.
Fang Xun's face suddenly turned awkward, and he said helplessly: "Well, since we don't agree on anything, let's just make a quick decision."
As he spoke, 'Listening to the Spring Rain in a Small Building at Night' appeared in his hands.
After seeing Yao Yue, he said nothing more, and waved the 'Bi Xue Zhao Dan Qing' in his hand, and a cold sword light burst out.
The man is cold, and the sword is cold too.
As his power was fully exerted, Yao Yue's appearance became more and more transparent, and the coldness made the air around him condense into balls of hazy mist, making him look like white ice shrouded in cold fog.
However, Fang Xun noticed that an invisible vortex of suction emerged around him, trying to pull him towards Yao Yue.
Just like a swimmer encountering a whirlpool, there are obstacles everywhere and he can't help but be drawn in.
This is exactly the state in which Yao Yue's "Ming Yu Gong" has reached perfection, the state of "roundness and clarity".
Ming refers to the sun and the moon, and jade refers to the essence of heaven and earth. Seizing the creation of heaven and earth and taking the essence of the sun and the moon is called [Ming Yu].
If you practice this magical skill to a deep level, you will become younger and more beautiful, and stay youthful forever.
In The Twins of Red Dust, Yao Yue has mastered the Ming Yu Gong, and the only one who can compete with her is the great hero Yan Nantian, who has perfected the Jia Yi Gong.
When practicing the Ming Yu Gong and fighting with others, after it is fully developed, the internal force will not be consumed, only physical strength will be consumed. While fighting, the power will also be restrained, and the true energy in the body will be endless.
Fighting is like meditation. Your opponent's power becomes less and less, but your own power increases instead of decreasing. It is very suitable for a protracted battle to wear down your opponent.
Just like the fight between Fang Xun and Yao Yue now.
In the ancient martial arts world, there are only five people who can rival Yao Yue in strength. In "The Twins of Heroes", when Yan Nantian's "Wedding Dress Magic" was not yet perfected, she was invincible.
Even in the modern world, after his breakthrough, he only opened up the Niwan Palace, the ancestral acupoint between his eyebrows, but his strength was not weaker than that of Qu Qingliu, a martial arts master who was over a hundred years old.
But if Qu Qingliu and Yaoyue were to fight to the death, Qu Qingliu would definitely be the one to die in the end. Even some masters who were stronger than Yaoyue might become exhausted after a long fight against her and be worn down bit by bit by Yaoyue.
When fighting between opponents of the same level of strength, the magical property of Ming Yu Gong, which makes fighting like meditation, is indeed very tricky. When facing an opponent like Yao Yue, the situation cannot be dragged into a stalemate and a quick victory must be achieved.
However, to Fang Xun, Yao Yue's strength is still not impressive enough.
But the battle lasted for a full quarter of an hour before he left the arena and reappeared in the martial arts hall.
His expression showed neither joy nor sadness, as he calmed down and focused on absorbing Yao Yue's lifelong memories of martial arts.
Another quarter of an hour passed before Fang Xun opened his eyes and sighed again with regret: "Yao Yue is indeed not bad, but it's a pity that she is still restricted by the world environment."
Although Ming Yu Gong was durable, in a protracted battle, it was still no match for Fang Xun, whose power was so exaggerated that it could not defeat him with his sword.
After thinking about the battle for a while, Fang Xun turned his gaze to the third door, and a new name appeared.
[Yue Shan, awakened, from "The Legend of the Twin Dragons of the Tang Dynasty", to be defeated]
Suddenly Fang Xun's face looked strange.
This man has the same name as Yue Shan from the Tianluo Sect who once deceived his master. His nickname is "Ba Dao". Before Song Que, he was known as the best swordsman in the world. He is an old master of evil ways and has a great reputation.
But in Fang Xun's opinion, this "number one knife in the world" is extremely fake.
Song Que, who was only 20 years old at the time, suddenly appeared and fought with him.
At that time, Song Que's 'Heavenly Sword' was still far from perfect, but he was able to severely injure and defeat Yue Shan, thus making Song Que famous in one battle.
Later, he exchanged the 49-style sword and an Indian ascetic monk for the "Sun-Changing Method".
He had hoped to recover his strength through this, but nothing was accomplished until Yue Shan's death, about ten years before the start of "The Twin Dragons of the Tang Dynasty".
"This 'World's No. 1 Knife' is really quite rich."
With this strange idea in mind, Fang Xun pushed open the third door.
This time, Fang Xun came out in just a cup of tea, which was much faster than defeating Yao Yue.
His expression was still strange: "Yue Shan is indeed stronger than Yao Yue, but unfortunately, although he is strong, his endurance is far inferior to Yao Yue's."
He immediately put these thoughts aside and began to absorb Yue Shan's martial arts insights and memories. Another quarter of an hour passed.
“Yes, although his strength is not good, his swordsmanship is quite impressive.
There is also a "Sun-Changing Method" that can repair broken meridians. It is equivalent to an upgraded and enhanced version of the "Shen Zhao Jing". After practicing this method, my injuries can be healed in half a month at most.
People in the Awakening Realm really all have some valuable information."
After making a satisfied comment, Fang Xun looked again at the name of the new character that appeared behind the third door.
[Xu Kaishan, awakened, "The Twin Dragons of the Tang Dynasty", waiting to be defeated]
Fang Xun's eyes suddenly lit up.
Xu Kaishan, the leader of the Daming Zun Sect, is known as "Da Zun". He has great martial arts skills but keeps them hidden. He is smooth in his dealings and has committed many evil deeds.
Fang Xun did not take this person seriously, but the "Wisdom Sutra of the Origin of All Things" on him made him very curious.
The original book describes that by practicing this technique, one can turn the virtual into the real, and transform air and water into an iron wall for attack or defense.
But for a master who has gained enlightenment, it is not difficult to do this.
A master who has attained enlightenment can condense his Qi into a strong energy. With a casual punch, the force can be sent out from ten feet into the air. The strong energy can also condense into a three-foot-long wall of energy around the body to protect it, making it indestructible.
Moreover, when making a move, warriors can add various strange attributes such as water, fire, ice, etc. to their qi.
Compared with this, the method of turning the virtual into the real in the "Sutra of Wisdom of the Origin of All Things" is not very noticeable in this world.
But Fang Xun knew one thing, that in the original novel, even Shi Zhixuan was interested in this martial art and wanted to snatch it away, so it was obvious that there must be something wonderful inside.
After recalling it, Fang Xun pushed open the third door with anticipation.
After another cup of tea and a quarter of an hour, Fang Xun easily defeated Xu Kaishan and absorbed his lifelong martial arts insights and memories.
After savoring the "Root Wisdom Sutra of the Late Emancipation of the Emperor" for a while, he shook his head and sighed.
"No wonder Shi Zhixuan is obsessed with this skill. Xu Kaishan is really guarding a treasure mountain without knowing it. It is clearly a master's unique skill for tempering the spirit and opening up wisdom, but he just practices it as the "Small Wuxiang Gong". He is really squandering a natural gift.
If it can be obtained by someone with extraordinary comprehension, it would not be surprising if he could achieve the status of a master of divine will through this skill."
After complaining, Fang Xun stopped thinking about Xu Kaishan and continued to look towards the third door of the martial arts hall.
'I hope a master can come and discuss the Dao with me.'
Although Yao Yue, Yue Shan and Xu Kaishan are quite powerful, their martial arts collections are also exquisite and profound. Of course Fang Xun likes this big gift package.
But what he actually wanted more was a master who could discuss the Dao with him and help him digest the rich gains from the Sword Discussion Conference in a short period of time.
After seeing the new name, a happy smile finally appeared on his face.
"Very good, I was finally not disappointed."
[Sweeping Monk, awakened, from "Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils", to be defeated]
Just when he couldn't wait to push open the third door again, he suddenly heard footsteps in the guest house outside.
Fang Xun frowned and left the martial arts hall directly.
After walking out of the room, he saw several Six Gates detectives carrying a young man covered in blood and with only simple bandages into the yard.
And behind him, Old Man Mo followed leisurely with his hands behind his back.
Fang Xun glanced at the young man and asked Old Man Mo in confusion.
"Isn't this Bai Wufeng? Why was he sent to me?"
