Chapter 590 Lang Huan
Chai Xin shook his head and laughed: "Brother Duan, there is no need to call me benefactor anymore. It is fate that we met. As for Dali, I will go there naturally if I have the chance."

"You have saved my life several times, Duan Yu is grateful. However, if you don't like it, I will call you big brother from now on."

Duan Yu said cheerfully.

As they talked, they searched for a way out of the valley in the dark.

After a while, the two came to a shiny mountain wall, and the moonlight shone on it like a mirror.

Suddenly, a colorful sword shadow gradually appeared on the mountain wall.

"Hey, why is there an image of a sword? Is there someone else in this valley?"

Duan Yu stared at the sword shadow that seemed to appear and disappear, and his eyes widened.

Chai Xin, who had read the original novel, knew that this should be not far from the Langhuan blessed land.

The sword shadow on the cliff did not mean someone was holding a sword there, but was the projection of a long sword in the cave inside the cliff.

"Why not look around carefully? Maybe you will find something."

Chai Xin gave a reminder and began to search.

Duan Yu nodded upon hearing this and began to investigate carefully.

"Brother Duan, look, the sword shadow is projected from the hole in the cliff."

Chai Xin followed the direction of the moonlight and soon found a fist-sized hole on the cliff beside him.

"Look, there seems to be something mysterious where the tip of the sword is pointing."

Duan Yu looked in the direction he said, and saw that the location where the sword shadow on the mountain wall was pointing was a rock several feet square.

He walked closer and stretched out his hand to push. The moss on the rock was a bit slippery. No matter how hard he pushed, he could only make the rock shake slightly but could not move it at all.

"There seems to be something strange under the rock!" Chai Xin, who was watching from the side, spoke out to remind them.

Duan Yu nodded, and reached his hand under the rock. He immediately discovered that this huge rock was placed on top of another small rock. He didn't know whether it was natural or man-made.

"Brother Duan is right. This stone is indeed strange!"

Duan Yu's heartbeat quickened involuntarily and he nodded excitedly.

Chai Xin also walked forward, but instead of massaging the huge rock, he checked the surrounding situation.

He leaned down and pulled apart all the grass and vines between the big rock and the small rock, letting go of the sand, gravel and dirt. Then he stretched out his hand and placed it on the big rock.

"Come on, push to one side." Chai Xin said to Duan Yu.

"it is good."

Duan Yu nodded.

The two men worked together to push a corner of the huge rock, and it really began to slowly turn, like a door. When it turned halfway, a cave with a diameter of three feet appeared.

"Great, I didn't expect there is a secret cave here! Brother Chai, let's go down and take a look. Maybe there are some relics left by our ancestors that can help us find the source of the valley."

Duan Yu said with great joy.

Of course Chai Xin knew that this was the entrance to Langhuan Jade Cave, so he went into the cave with him.

After they walked about a dozen steps, the cave became completely dark and the moonlight could not reach there at all.

However, the road in the cave had obviously been carefully repaired, so even though it was blind, it was not that difficult to walk on.

When they reached the end of the passage, they touched a stone door. After pushing it open together, they actually saw the light again.

"This is strange. The passage is dark, but this cave is bright. Could it be that there is a night-shining pearl?"

Duan Yu walked into the stone chamber, looked around, and then he suddenly realized.

This is a huge round stone chamber. Light shines through the stone wall on the left, which turns out to be a window made of jade.

When they looked towards the window, they saw several fish swimming outside. Then they realized that this stone chamber was actually covered by a huge translucent fish cover at the bottom of the lake.

That light was the moonlight reflected from the outside world. It penetrated into the stone chamber through the jade disk on the stone window, illuminating the place brightly.

It's still night time, and we're using moonlight. If it were daytime and the sun was shining in, it would probably be several times brighter here.

"It's really amazing how nature can create such a wonder! It seems that the predecessor who built this stone chamber at the bottom of the lake must be a master."

Duan Yu had been rich and powerful since childhood and had extensive knowledge, but when he saw the scene in the stone chamber, he still couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.

Chai Xin said nothing. He didn't care about the origin of this place at all. He was only concerned about the martial arts secrets in the cave.

He went straight to the southwest of the stone chamber.

Because there was a bronze mirror on the east side reflecting light towards the southwest corner, one could vaguely see a crack on the stone wall.

Chai Xin walked up to it and pushed the stone wall with both hands. It turned out to be a door, which was slowly pushed open.

Behind the gate is another cave with a staircase leading slowly downwards.

There was another door at the end of the passage. Chai Xin pushed the door open, and suddenly a beautiful woman in palace dress holding a long sword stood facing him.

Chai Xin immediately realized that this was the jade statue in the original book.

He was not a love-crazy boy like Duan Yu. He immediately walked to the cushion in front of the jade statue and tore it apart with a little force, revealing a silk scroll.

Picking up the silk scroll, Chai Xin unfolded it and began to read.

Skipping the nonsense left by Li Qiu Shui and looking at the picture and text below, it is one of the Xiaoyao Sect's signature martial arts - "Northern Divine Art".

Chai Xin read ten lines at a glance, and with his photographic memory, he quickly memorized the martial arts completely.

He continued to unfold the scroll, which contained another chapter on martial arts, the "Lingbo Weibu", which was considered to be the most advanced light Kung Fu technique in the world.

I took a quick look at it and memorized it all.

Afterwards, he stuffed the scroll back into the cushion. Since the tear was only an inch long, after covering it slightly, one could not see any clues if one did not look closely.

"Xiaoyao Sect is indeed a sect that 'cultivates immortals' in the martial arts world. These two secret manuals are truly extraordinary. If the world level is high enough, maybe they can really help them ascend to immortality."

Chai Xin stood up and continued walking inside.

Although it was clearly stated in the original novel that all the secret books in the Langhuan blessed land had been moved to Suzhou by Li Qiushui's daughter Li Qingluo.

But this is not the world of the original "Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils" after all, but a world of fan fiction, which can be called a "patchwork monster".

Maybe it is different from the description in the original book.

He walked forward slowly and saw a stone bed placed on the side of the stone chamber. There was an arch at the end of the bed. On the stone wall next to the door were four large characters engraved: "Langhuan Blessed Land".

Walking into the archway, looking up, I saw that this was a larger stone cave, more than twice the size of the outer stone chamber. There were rows of wooden bookshelves in the cave, but they were all empty, without a single book.

When I got closer, I saw that the bookshelf was covered with labels, with names such as "Kunlun School", "Shaolin School", "Sichuan Qingcheng School", "Dali Duan Family" and so on.

Under the label of "Shaolin School", it is also noted that "Yi Jin Jing is missing"; under the label of "Beggars' Gang", it is noted that "Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms are missing"; under the label of "Dali Duan Family", it is noted that "One Yang Finger Technique and Six Meridians Divine Sword Technique are missing, which is very regrettable".

"It seems that this place is still the same as the original description, and the fan fiction author did not make many changes. But it doesn't matter. With a book called "Northern Divine Art", it is enough for me to get a glimpse of many rules of this world."

Chai Xin walked around a bit and was about to go out, but suddenly he saw a black object on the ground next to the desk in the corner.

Judging from the situation, it must have been dropped accidentally when it was being moved.

This is a thin sheet, several pages thick, about seven inches long and five inches wide.

The object felt slightly smooth in the hand, and it seemed not to be made of metal, but a piece of black jade. When I brushed my fingers over the jade, I could feel the unevenness, and it was obvious that there were words engraved on it.

After all, the light in the cave was very weak, and the jade casket was black. Even though Chai Xin's incarnation had good eyesight, he could not see the words on it clearly.

So he put it in his arms and looked at it when he got out.

"Good heavens! I saw a fairy!"

From a distance, Chai Xin heard Duan Yu's exclamation outside.

Duan Yu can truly be called the number one love-obsessed man in "The Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils". When he sees a statue of a beautiful woman, he can worship her as a goddess. It is really speechless.

When he walked outside, he saw Duan Yu kneeling on a cushion, kowtowing devoutly and muttering to himself.

"I am Duan Yu, the humble one, and I bow to the Fairy Sister..."

"Brother Duan, please keep bowing. I will wait for you in the stone chamber outside." Chai Xin said lightly without stopping at all.

When he came out of the stone chamber, he sat down cross-legged.

From this moment on, he began to follow the instructions in "Northern Divine Art" and combined them with many Taoist classics that were still in his memory to create a technique that was completely suitable for himself and could reach the limits of this world.

Although he only remembered a very small part of the Taoist Canon and there was no specific method of practice, with Chai Xin's wisdom, it was not too difficult to create the expected method.

If he had no reference, it might take him another three to five years; now that he had the "Northern Divine Art" as a reference, it would only take a few days for him to create the initial form of the art.

In the blink of an eye, several hours passed.

There was a sound of footsteps coming from behind Chai Xin. He opened his eyes immediately and saw Duan Yu.

"Brother Chai, what are you doing?"

Duan Yu looked at Chai Xin who was sitting cross-legged and asked curiously.

Chai Xin did not hide it and said, "I am creating a martial art that is suitable for my own practice."

Duan Yu was stunned when he heard this, and couldn't help but be a little surprised: "Brother, don't you have any martial arts skills? How can you create a martial arts school?"

"So, tell me, who came first, people who knew martial arts, or martial arts that could be practiced?"

Chai Xin asked back with a smile.

This question confused Duan Yu.

He really had never thought about this issue.

"Logically speaking, there should be people who know martial arts first... I guess someone wanted to learn martial arts, and then thought hard, tried many times, and finally summed up the method of practice, and then passed it on to future generations."

Duan Yu thought for a while and answered slowly.

"The first person in the world to create martial arts must not have been proficient in martial arts. Either he searched hard and found a method, as you said; or he developed internal strength by accident... In short, it must not be a martial arts book dropped from the sky for him to practice."

Chai Xin smiled and nodded, his face full of calmness and indifference.

"Since our predecessors were able to open up new paths, why can't we, the younger generation? I plan to learn martial arts, but I despise the martial arts of the world, so I plan to create my own."

If other people heard this, they would probably laugh at me, or at least ignore me, but in any case they would not believe it.

But Duan Yu was a man with an innocent heart. Although he thought it was unrealistic for someone like Chai Xin who had no foundation in martial arts to create martial arts, he would not laugh at him.

On the contrary, he sincerely advised: "If you want to learn martial arts, you can come back to Dali with me. I think some martial arts at home are quite good. I will definitely ask my father and uncle to teach you everything they know."

At this point, he seemed to remember something. He slapped his head and took out a piece of silk scroll from his arms. It was the one on the cushion in front of the jade statue.

"Brother Chai, I just found this scroll of silk inside. It contains the martial arts of the Xiaoyao Sect. If you are willing to kowtow to the Fairy Sister a thousand times, you should be able to learn it."

Duan Yu recounted his experience truthfully.

Chai Xin smiled when he heard this, waved his hand and said: "Thank you for your kindness, but this is not necessary."

As he spoke, he stood up and continued, "It's probably getting light, let's go out and find an exit."

"Alright."

Seeing that Chai Xin refused straightforwardly, Duan Yu did not force him and left the cave with him.

"Brother Chai, I still have things to do. If you are interested, you can go to Dali City and wait for me."

As Duan Yu spoke, he took out a pure white jade pendant of excellent quality from his waist.

"Brother, take this jade with you to the Dali Palace, and someone will welcome you well. I also have a letter from home, so please pass it on to my father."

He had written the letter in Langhuan Blessed Land, where there was no shortage of pens, ink, paper and inkstone.

From beginning to end, Duan Yu never told Chai Xin that he was poisoned and that he had to go to Zhong Ling's house to ask for help.

It’s not that he doesn’t trust Chai Xin, but he doesn’t want to involve the other party.

The outcome of his seeking help this time was still unknown, and his life might be in danger. Chai Xin was his savior in his heart, so he naturally didn't want to implicate him.

Chai Xin looked at the jade pendant and the letter, was stunned for a moment, shook his head and said: "I am afraid that I will disappoint Brother Duan's kindness. I don't plan to go to Dali this time. I really don't have time to take care of this letter delivery. Sorry."

Duan Yu was startled when he heard this, but he did not take back the jade pendant and the letter. Instead, he said sincerely: "Brother, it is okay if you do not want to go to Dali. Please accept these two things. The jade pendant can be exchanged for money. As for the letter, please send it to the Dali Palace on my behalf after you arrive in the town."

He did not say that this letter was actually written as a suicide note. The situation was so dangerous that he had no confidence that he could return home safely.

Being able to bring a few words to his parents to express his guilt is the last bit of filial piety that he, an unfilial son, can show.

Seeing Duan Yu's earnest expression with a hint of sadness, Chai Xin roughly guessed what the other party was thinking and the contents of the letter.

After a brief thought, he nodded and said, "Well, I'll take this. But Brother Duan, you should not hang out outside all day. As the saying goes, 'When your parents are still alive, don't travel far away, and when you travel, you must have a plan.' Your behavior is not appropriate."

"Brother, your words are good and I will keep them in mind. But I have been entrusted with an important task and I must not break my promise. That is why I am asking you to forward the letter home for me to reassure my parents."

When Duan Yu said this, his eyes became red.
