Travel through the heavens

Wang Yuyan took out a book from the Langhuan Jade Cave and looked through it in the light at the entrance of the cave. After a while, she closed the book and couldn't help but sighed softly: "Alas, my cousin was wrong."

He murmured to himself again, "My cousin said that the Jiangnan historian's 'Returning Wind Blowing Willows' means 'the wind whirls a thousand times, blowing the willows softly', which means it is light and gentle, but my cousin overlooked the most important word 'knife'. If it is a sword technique, the sword moves lightly, and my cousin's understanding is naturally correct. But if the knife moves fiercely and bravely, it will be completely wrong if we practice it according to his understanding."

Wang Yuyan was standing at some distance from Fang Muye in the room outside, and her voice was very soft. Although she was familiar with martial arts, she had never practiced it. After all, she still didn't understand the difference between martial arts masters and ordinary people, and how sharp the ears and eyes were of people with profound internal strength.

Fang Muye heard every word of her soft whisper.

Fang Muye happened to have read this sword manual two days ago. After thinking about it for a while, he said, "The essence of 'Returning Wind and Brushing Willows' is not 'the returning wind swirls a thousand times, brushing the willows continuously', but 'the returning wind and brushing the willows, turning a hundred times without stopping'. The sword technique emphasizes leveraging the force, turning around, and the sword moves continuously. In one go, you can defeat the enemy and win. It is the path of being strong, powerful and majestic."

Wang Yuyan was stunned when she heard the voice, and two red clouds suddenly appeared on her white jade cheeks. Then she responded, "Does Mr. Fang think so too? Alas, it's a pity that my cousin refuses to listen to me and insists on arguing with me." There was a trace of sadness and grievance on her face, which was very pitiful.

Fang Muye said: "Your cousin's martial arts skills are not very good, and his martial arts knowledge is also much lacking."

Wang Yuyan immediately said angrily: "Do you know who my cousin is? The Gusu Murongfu in 'North Qiao Feng, South Murong' is him. He has such a great reputation in the martial arts world, how could he be as famous as you said?"

Fang Muye chuckled and said calmly, "It just doesn't live up to its reputation."

Wang Yuyan stamped her left foot on the ground and said angrily: "How can you say that about my cousin? It's so annoying. I'm too lazy to argue with you." After that, she put the book back and left in a hurry.

Fang Muye shook his head slightly, smiled, and started flipping through the book in his hand again.

In the blink of an eye, more than ten days passed. Fang Muye finally read all the books in the Langhuan Jade Cave and memorized them all in his mind. So he decided to leave Mantuo Villa and go to Wuliang Mountain.

After restoring the Langhuan Jade Cave, Fang Muye walked towards the manor. He had said that he would no longer have any contact with Li Qingluo, and would leave on his own after reading the martial arts book, but he needed a boat to cross the lake, so he could only go to see her again.

Fang Muye walked along the path for a few times and suddenly heard the voices of three women talking in the flower forest on the left.

"That annoying Granny Ping is gone. Without her making things difficult for me, I've been having a much smoother time these past ten days."

"It would be even happier if we could live on for a few more days. I wonder when Granny Rui and Granny Ping will come back?"

"That thief dared to assassinate the lady and killed so many of us. We cannot let her go. Granny Rui and Granny Ping are leading people to chase her. They will not come back until they kill her."

When Fang Muye heard this, he thought to himself: They must be talking about Mu Wanqing.

Originally, Fang Muye was not sure whether the plot had already begun, so he was not in a hurry to go to Wuliang Mountain. Now that he knows that the plot is about to begin, he has to hurry and get "Northern Divine Art" and "Lingbo Weibu" before Duan Yu.

At that moment, Fang Muye went to say goodbye to Li Qingluo. His original intention was to borrow a small boat and row away by himself, but Li Qingluo arranged a boat to take him there.

An hour later, Fang Muye landed outside Suzhou city, identified the direction, and headed towards Dali.

There are two exits to choose from to go to Langhuan Blessed Land.

The first one is a cave on the stone wall on the bank of Canglan River, but it is extremely difficult to find; the second one is a cave entrance under the cliff on the back mountain of Wuliang Mountain, which is much easier to find.

After Fang Muye entered Dali, he asked for directions and finally arrived at the foot of Wuliang Mountain.

It happened that the Wuliang Sword Sect was holding its fifth-year competition, and many martial artists were invited to watch the ceremony. Fang Muye followed a few people he met on the way to the main peak of Wuliang Mountain, and then found an opportunity to go to the back mountain.

Although the back mountain is guarded by disciples of the Wuliang Sword Sect, Fang Muye has profound skills and can detect and avoid them in advance. He steps on the Kunlun Sect's "Yuxu Step" and flashes past without being discovered.

Fang Muye walked westward for more than ten miles and saw a gurgling stream. He then turned northwest along the mountain path and walked for a while when he suddenly heard a loud rumbling sound of water, like a tide. Looking up, he saw a huge waterfall cascading down the cliff in the northwest corner, like the Milky Way hanging upside down.

After walking a little further, they arrived at the edge of a cliff. Fang Muye moved his head and looked. The first thing that caught his eye was a huge white rock not far below the waterfall. After countless years of erosion and polishing by water, it was as smooth as a mirror and shiny enough to reflect a person. It was the "Wulian Jade Disk".

Looking down again, I saw only clouds and mist and couldn't see the bottom, but I estimated that it was several hundred feet deep.

Fang Muye used his internal strength to jump down along the cliff. After falling several feet, he stretched out his hand to press the cliff, or touched the uneven part with his toes, or climbed on the grass growing on the cliff to reduce the speed of his fall. While leaping, he kept falling towards the bottom of the cliff like a smart ape in the mountains.

Later on, the cliff became more inclined. It was no longer a steep cliff, but it was easier for Fang Muye to descend. It didn't take long before he reached the bottom of the valley.

There is a big lake at the bottom of the valley. Except for the rolling water at the place where the waterfall flows into the lake, the water is as smooth as a mirror and extremely clear only about ten feet away from the waterfall. There are clusters of camellia growing on the lakeside, swaying gracefully, and the scenery is extremely beautiful.

Fang Muye walked around the valley and finally found a large rock as high as his chest. He squatted down and took a look, and saw that it was indeed suspended in mid-air on top of a small rock.

After Fang Muye pulled away all the vines and weeds between the rocks, he used his internal energy to push the big rock, and it slowly turned like a door. Halfway through, a three-foot-high cave was revealed.

He bent down and walked into the cave. He saw that the road in the cave was paved like a stone road. He walked forward slowly. Soon there was no light at all. Two strands of inner spirit emerged from Fang Muye's Niwan Palace and lingered in his eyes. Suddenly, he was no longer affected by the darkness.

After walking for a while, I saw a door made of steel. After pushing it open, I took two steps and saw another door. After pushing it open again, there was suddenly a bright light in front of me.

Fang Muye walked towards the light and saw a piece of crystal the size of a copper basin inlaid on the stone wall as a window. Outside the window, green water was constantly swaying, and fish, shrimps and aquatic creatures were swimming back and forth. It turned out that the stone chamber he was in was built at the bottom of the lake.

Fang Muye walked to the stone wall in the southwest corner of the stone chamber and pushed hard. The stone wall slowly moved away, revealing a hole. Fang Muye entered the cave, walked down the stone steps, and then pushed open a door. He saw a jade statue of a beautiful woman in palace dress who looked exactly like Wang Yuyan, holding a long sword and pointing at him.

After looking around, Fang Muye bent down, picked up the smaller cushion in front of the jade statue and broke it open, then took out a silk bag from the hole, opened the bag, and found a scroll of silk inside.

He finally got the "Northern Divine Art" and "Lingbo Weibu" that he had been longing for.
