Chapter 482 Changes
Since arriving in Dali, with the precious medicinal materials provided by the Zhennan Palace and three meals a day of delicious meat and vegetables, Xiaolongnu's injuries gradually improved and her whole figure became rosy.
Originally Lu Ping wondered if she would become a fat dragon girl all of a sudden, but after observing her for a few days, he found that not only did the little dragon girl not lose her figure, but she became more energetic.
The reason behind this is very simple.
On the one hand, it was because Xiao Longnu had been living in an ancient tomb and her nutrition was completely inadequate. Before that, she had followed Xiao Qiu Shui and Li Mochou in the martial arts world for more than a month, and was also exposed to the hardships of life every day.
At no other time had I been taken care of as well as I was during these days in the palace.
The other reason is more traditional, that is, people who practice martial arts consume a lot of energy, and almost all the nutrients in the food are used to warm the meridians, regulate the internal organs, and transform internal strength.
So not only did Xiaolongnu's figure not change, but even Duan Yu, who had doubled his appetite in order to practice martial arts during this period, still looked as elegant and graceful as ever.
Ever since Duan Yu started learning Yi Yang Finger, he often had confusions in martial arts, and Duan Zhengchun was too busy to be seen every day, so he had to ask Lu Ping for help.
It just so happened that Lu Ping was also interested in teaching, so the two of them hit it off and decided to set aside half an hour every day to teach.
However, although it was a teaching, Duan Yu would not pass on the One Yang Finger martial art to others, and of course Lu Ping looked down on it, so what he taught was the essence of the mainstream finger-based martial arts in the martial arts world.
With Lu Ping's current attainments in martial arts, teaching Duan Yu would be a piece of cake.
After a few days, Duan Yu's One Finger Zen had become quite proficient.
Even because Lu Ping added some personal ideas during the teaching process and integrated some techniques of the 'Thousand Jin Finger', Duan Yu's One Yang Finger is now quite powerful.
On this day, after the two finished teaching, Duan Yu suddenly expressed his desire to take a leave.
"Brother Lu, can we suspend teaching for a few days?"
Although Lu Ping didn't know the reason, he still nodded and agreed, and at the end he did not forget to give a kind reminder.
"Of course you can, but we martial artists should not give up after a few days of hard work. Since you have already put in the effort to learn One Finger Zen, you should not slack off..."
Listening to Lu Ping's instructions, which sounded like an old private school teacher, Duan Yu smiled and said, "I know this, but the day after tomorrow is my mother's birthday, so I want to go and accompany her."
Duan Yu’s mother… Dao Baifeng?
"I see. Is it Princess Zhennan's birthday? Then you, as her son, should go and accompany her."
Lu Ping suddenly realized what was going on, and then asked knowingly: "By the way, isn't your mother at home?"
Duan Yu scratched his head awkwardly and replied weakly, "My mother... for some reason, no longer lives at home, but is practicing in Yuxu Temple outside the city."
"Tsk tsk tsk... Isn't it just the romantic past of the Prince of Zhennan when he was young? At least 80% of the people in Dali know about it. Why do you have to be so coy, Brother Duan?"
Duan Yu smiled bitterly and said, "So Brother Lu has already heard about it. Then I won't hide it from you."
"Many years ago, because of my father's affair, my mother was angry and left home to go to Yuxu Temple to practice asceticism. She swore that she would never come back for the rest of her life. After that, she really never came back once."
"Over the years, my father went to apologize and make amends many times, but he was turned away every time. Although my mother didn't want to see my father, she was willing to see me, so I would go to visit her from time to time."
Yuxu Temple is about thirty or forty miles outside of Dali City. It only takes half a day to get there by horse. However, Duan Yu wanted to spend his mother's birthday with her, so he took three days off.
"That's fine. I haven't had a good look around Dali since I came here. I'll take advantage of these three days to have some fun. Can you help me with the map later?"
"no problem."
As for Dao Baifeng's birthday, Duan Zhengchun, as her husband, naturally calculated the date. He also knew that Duan Yu would visit her at this time every year.
So Duan Zhengchun found Duan Yu that day.
"I would definitely not be welcomed if I went, and I might even make your mother angry."
"Since it's her birthday, why should I upset her? Just take my gift with you."
"By the way, have two guards follow us in case of any accidents."
Duan Yu agreed: "I will definitely bring the birthday gift to Dad. Mom will be happy in her heart even if she doesn't say it on the surface when she receives the gift."
"But forget about the guards. Dad, you know I never bring any entourage with me when I travel."
"Now that my One Finger of Sun has become somewhat proficient, I can handle ordinary thieves. If I encounter a strong enemy, even two guards will be useless."
Seeing his son say this, Duan Zhengchun had no choice but to give up. The next morning, Duan Yu left home alone.
On the other hand, Lu Ping had some free time, so he took the map of Dali Kingdom given by Duan Yu and started traveling.
The Dali Kingdom was neither small nor big.
The structure of Beiwulin is clear. During the Zhao Song Dynasty, there were four prefectures and twenty-four roads, with the Northern Song Dynasty and the Southern Song Dynasty each occupying half. However, Dali has only one main city, and the remaining places added up to the area of just one "road".
If you really want to travel, three days is more than enough.
Lu Ping is a man of the world, and for a man of the world, the places where he can check in and play are even more limited. If you count carefully, there are only two places: Wuliang Mountain and Tianlong Temple.
As for the Wanjie Valley and Yuxu Temple that appeared in Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils...
To be honest, there is nothing special about these two places except the women.
After some thought, Lu Ping decided to go to Wuliang Mountain and see if there was a Langhuan Jade Cave there.
There are thousands of mountains and rivers in Dali, and Wuliang Mountain is not particularly steep. The only reason it stands out and is remembered is because there is the Wuliang Sword Sect on it.
The Wuliang Sword Sect is not a big sect, and its disciples are not strong and few in number, but it is still a local force and has some reputation in the vicinity.
Before Lu Ping arrived at Wuliang Mountain, he learned from passers-by that today was the day of the competition between the East and West sects of the Wuliang Sword Sect.
The East and West branches of the Wuliang Sword Sect hold a competition every five years, with a best-of-five format. The winner can occupy the Jianhu Palace in the mountains for five years and comprehend the "Immortal Sword Dance" on the "Wulian Jade Disk".
Calculating the time, this competition should be the one in the first chapter of the original book.
When he arrived at the mountain road, Lu Ping soon discovered that there were twenty or thirty people dressed in very mysterious clothes gathered together, guarding the mountain road and not letting anyone pass.
"Stop! Lingjiu Palace is doing business, no one should stay away!"
Seeing that Lu Ping was not afraid of the situation and walked up the mountain by himself, a woman who wrapped herself tightly came out and stopped Lu Ping.
Someone from Lingjiu Palace?
Lu Ping narrowed his eyes and immediately thought of the plot in the original novel.
The day of the Wuliang Sword Sect's competition in the book happened to be the time when the Shennong Gang came to inquire about the Wuliang Jade Disk under the order of the Lingjiu Palace.
However, due to the previous Daye Lin incident, Xiao Qiu Shui intervened and removed the life and death talismans from the cave masters and island masters under the Lingjiu Palace, and the Shennong Gang was thus freed from the control of Tianshan Tonglao.
Now that there is no one available in Lingjiu Palace, they can only send out their own people.
Since these people from Lingjiu Palace can still appear here alive and well, I guess nothing serious should have happened to the Child-Fairy of Tianshan. I just don't know what happened after Xiao Qiu Shui went to Piaomiao Peak that day?
"Are you from the Lingjiu Palace? Are you subordinates of Tianshan Tonglao?"
When the man heard this, he immediately became alert and drew his weapon to point it at Lu Ping: "You actually know the name of Tong Lao? Who is she? Is she related to those traitors before?"
The traitors mentioned here should be those people led by Boss Wu, right?
Lu Ping smiled and moved the long sword in front of him, and asked: "Tell me, what has happened in Lingjiu Palace recently? Why are you here?"
The woman snorted coldly and shouted sternly: "Don't even think about it..."
bang bang bang...
After a round of beatings and kicks, the thirty-odd women from Lingjiu Palace had fallen to the ground. Lu Ping had pressed their acupoints and forced them into various shameful postures.
The woman who was so arrogant just now was now blushing and shyly telling Lu Ping the information he wanted.
"Half a month ago, a man who called himself Xiao Qiushui came to Piao Miao Peak, but he left after fighting with Tong Lao."
"But the cave masters and island masters who came to Piao Miao Peak with him and originally obeyed our Ling Jiu Palace took advantage of the fight between that man and Tong Lao to attack us, plundered all the palace's inventory, and injured and kidnapped many sisters."
"By the time we reacted, they had already fled."
"Tong Lao lost her temper, but since everyone had run away, she had no choice but to give up."
"A few days ago, a sister brought back news of the 'Wuliang Jade Disk' here, so Tong Lao sent us here to investigate..."
