Film and TV: Traveling through countless worlds at the same time

Laughing Proud Lu Xiao said, "I thought so too at first. In the past eighteen years in the Huashan Sect, I always thought my world was the world of Laughing Proud Jianghu. But didn't I promise you not long ago to go down the mountain to train and search for those lost martial arts secrets?"

The other four nodded and waited for his next words.

"For the past month, I've been training in the martial arts world. I've been to Zhongnan Mountain looking for ancient tombs, Wuliang Mountain looking for the Wuliang Jade Disk, Tianshan Mountain looking for the Lingjiu Palace, the woods outside Xiangyang City looking for a sword tomb, and Kunlun Mountain looking for the White Ape Valley."

Hearing this, several Lu Xiaos suddenly became excited.

"You're quite a runner, what did you get in the end? How many secret books did you find?"

Lu Xiao said proudly, "Nothing."

"What?" The four were shocked again.

Then they cursed in unison: "You are such a waste."

Lu Xiao said proudly, "It's not that I'm useless, but I discovered that these places don't even exist."

"How could it not exist?"

Several people also found it a little strange.

Lu Xiao said proudly, "It truly doesn't exist. I've even specifically asked people near these places. Some who've lived here for generations say they've never heard of the places I'm talking about. In my world, the Quanzhen Sect hasn't appeared on Mount Zhongnan since ancient times, and there's no Lingjiu Palace on Mount Tianshan. The rest of the places are similar."

"What on earth is going on?" The four of them were puzzled.

Xiaoao Lu Xiao said, "That's what I said before. My world might not be Xiaoao Jianghu."

"While searching these places, I realized my world was very small. In the past month, I've traveled from north to south, from east to west, practically covering half the world. At first, I didn't think much of it, but then I thought about it and realized I was walking a little too fast."

"After thinking this through, I realized there was something wrong with this world, so I conducted an in-depth investigation. Do you know what I discovered?"

The four of them shook their heads at the same time.

"I discovered that my world is completely surrounded by the ocean. When I learned the truth, I was completely stunned."

Xiaoao Lu Xiao said with a wry smile.

Shaoge Lu Xiao said: "Don't say you're confused, we're confused too. What's going on in your world?"

"Wait, the area and location aren't right either. Your world isn't an island, is it?" Zhifou Lu Xiao suddenly asked.

Xiaoao Lu Xiao nodded and said, "Indeed, my world is an island. This is the answer I got after reading countless books in the palace over the past three days."

"If your world isn't The Smiling, Proud Wanderer, then where exactly is it?" asked Lu Xiao from Joy of Life.

Xiaoao Lu Xiao finally revealed the answer.

"All I know right now is that my world is called Jiuzhou, and it's a martial arts world. It has Jin Yong's heroes, Gu Long's heroes, and even some other martial arts worlds, like Number One Under Heaven."

The rest of Lu Xiao immediately gasped.

It turned out to be the world of Zongwu!

That level can't be lower.

The four of them suddenly became interested: "What's going on? Please tell us in detail. We are not in a hurry."

Laughing proudly at Lu Xiao.

No.

Jiuzhou Lu Xiao said, "I just mentioned that I sneaked into the Imperial Palace three days ago. It's called a palace, but it's actually just a larger palace. I only found out after I went there. I searched for three days and finally found a geomancy map and a diary. From these two items, I finally understood the truth of the world."

"My world is called the Jiuzhou Continent. Its total area is several times that of Earth in my previous life. Currently, there are four most powerful nations in the world: the Qin Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty, the Song Dynasty, and the Ming Dynasty. Beyond that, there are some smaller nations whose power should not be underestimated. And the Laughing Proud World I previously thought of was just a small island within the territory of the Ming Dynasty, a mere "dot" on a feng shui map, and also the fiefdom of a member of the Ming Dynasty's royal family."

"I got the diary that this royal family member left behind. In it, I saw some familiar names, such as the Daming Hulong Villa, the Northern and Southern Beggars' Sects of the Song Dynasty, and the Hundred Schools of Thought of the Qin Dynasty."

"Besides that, I also learned the origins of the so-called Laughing Proud World. Hundreds of years ago, the Ming Dynasty discovered the small island that is now Laughing Proud Jianghu and incorporated it into their territory. Later, because the spiritual energy here was too thin and its development value was not great, they randomly gave it to a less favored member of the royal family as a fiefdom."

"To develop his own fiefdom, that royal family member expended countless manpower and resources, relocating civilians from the Ming Dynasty to settle here. He was accompanied by numerous underworld figures who had lost their way in the Ming Dynasty. To consolidate his power, he strictly forbade his subjects from discussing matters within the Ming Dynasty in private."

"Those Jianghu figures are the original founders of the various sects here today. Because of the ban, almost everyone on the island now believes that this island is the entire world. I was misled before, so I made a mistake."

This is what Dafeng Lu Xiao said: "I've been saying, your world felt strange before. The martial arts value in the world of Smiling Proud Wanderer is obviously not high, but your world has so many martial arts realms, from acquired martial arts to grandmaster, a full four major realms. No matter how I look at it, it doesn't make sense. Now it makes a lot more sense."

Jiuzhou Lu Xiao nodded. "Yes, the martial arts realms are indeed copied from the Jiuzhou Continent. However, because we are so far away from the Jiuzhou Continent and the spiritual energy is so thin, even Grandmasters have been few and far between for hundreds of years, let alone the Heavenly Man Realm and the True Immortal Realm."

"Heavenly Realm? A true fairyland on earth?"

The four asked.

Jiuzhou Lu Xiao explained, "These are the two realms after Grandmaster on the Jiuzhou Continent. However, no one on this island has ever reached them, so everyone has long forgotten them."

I forgot again. People in your world have really bad memories.

Several people thought at the same time.

At this moment, Lu Xiao suddenly asked, "Wait, I remember you said before that the most recent Grandmaster in your world was Zhang Sanfeng, the Wudang Master from a hundred years ago. If that's the case, then this Zhang Sanfeng is pretty lame, probably the worst of all the Masters in the universe."

The rest of Lu Xiao nodded in unison.

Jiuzhou Lu Xiao smiled and said, "It's a misunderstanding, all a misunderstanding. The one I mentioned earlier is not what we thought. In my case, the Wudang Sect has a long tradition, with the main lineage located in the Ming Dynasty. The one that came to me is just a branch. Once such a branch establishes a foothold in a similar place, the most powerful person of the same generation can inherit the Taoist name [Sanfeng]. In my case, it just so happens that the person who inherited the Taoist name a hundred years ago was surnamed Zhang, so we have a common name. If his surname was Li, he would be called Li Sanfeng. The Zhang Zhenren we thought of is currently on the Jiuzhou Continent, having lived for over a thousand years. He is the only supremely powerful person in the Ming Dynasty to have reached the realm of a True Immortal on Earth."

After hearing his explanation, the four nodded: "That makes much more sense."

Chapter 42 Target Locked

After listening to Jiuzhou Lu Xiao's explanation, everyone finally had a general understanding of the Jiuzhou world.

Then Shaoge Lu Xiao spoke. (1)

"So, you're still in the Novice Village. It seems you'll have to find a way to go to Kyushu Continent in the future."

Jiuzhou Lu Xiao nodded: "That's right, but the diary doesn't record how to get to Jiuzhou Continent, so I don't know yet."

"You've already looked at the geomancy map, haven't you? Just knowing the direction is enough. At worst, I can just build a boat and hire someone to take you away." "Joy of Life" Lu Xiao said.

Jiuzhou Lu Xiao shook his head. "If only it were that easy. Between Jiuzhou Continent and Xiaoao Island lies the Endless Sea of ​​Ferocity. Not to mention the storms and the like, the countless behemoths within the sea alone are a formidable threat. The diary mentions that even a master at the Celestial Realm couldn't cross the Endless Sea of ​​Ferocity."

"How did the ancestors of Xiaoao Island come here?" asked Lu Xiao.

Jiuzhou Lu Xiao continued, "I don't know either. Maybe there's some special way to avoid those sea beasts, like some special material?"

"Similar to the Sea Floor Stone in One Piece?"

The four of them had exactly the same idea.

Jiuzhou Lu Xiao nodded: "Yes, I guess that's the case."

Shaoge Lu Xiao said, "It's okay. There's no rush. As long as there's a way, we'll find it sooner or later. You should hurry up and collect martial arts. Xiaoao Island's martial arts value is not high, which is just right for early development. You should have reached the Grandmaster level by now, right?"

Jiuzhou Lu Xiao said, "Yes, I just broke through after sharing your abilities. I've now entered the sixth level of Grandmaster. I feel like I'm invincible on Xiaoao Island."

In Joy of Life, Lu Xiao said murderously, "Becoming invincible is easy. First, destroy Shaolin, then Wudang. Only you can dominate Huashan and become the king of the martial arts world. Then, you can unify Xiaoao Island and acquire all the martial arts on the island. Even if you can't find a way to reach the Jiuzhou Continent, you can still be an island master in peace."

The others ignored this guy.

Kill, kill, kill, all I do is kill day after day.

It's really not sociable.

Jiuzhou Lu Xiao said, "Island Master, what a stupid idea you are giving me."

After he finished cursing, he continued, "Honestly, on Xiaoao Island, the other peerless martial arts from Jin Yong's system are definitely out of the question. I can only get the techniques that already exist in the Xiaoao world. But after the emergence of Dugu Jiujian, I don't think anyone would look down on ordinary techniques. After thinking about it, there aren't many techniques that would catch everyone's eye. I can't possibly get you the Sunflower Manual, right? Who would learn it if I did?"

Jiuzhou Lu Xiao looked around, and the other Lu Xiaos all turned their heads away, not meeting his gaze.

Just kidding, only a fool would learn that.

After a moment, Shaoge Lu Xiao said, "Even so, there are still many techniques worth looking at, such as the Shaolin Yijinjing."

"There's also the Wudang 'Tai Chi Sword Technique' and 'Tai Chi Boxing Classics'. The latter should be in Dongfang Bubai's possession. I just don't know which Zhang Sanfeng wrote these two books. If it's the one from Xiaoao Island, then their value would be greatly reduced."

"Anything else?" Jiuzhou Lu Xiao glanced at everyone.

The few of them pondered for a while, but couldn't think of any more famous martial arts techniques.

"There aren't many famous martial arts in The Smiling, Proud Wanderer. Besides these, the remaining techniques either have too many hidden dangers or are impossible to practice. Honestly, The Smiling, Proud Wanderer is kind of rubbish," Zhifou Lu Xiao said.

"Yeah, it's really rubbish." Shaoge Lu Xiao nodded.

"Rubbish!" Lu Xiao from Joy of Life agrees.

Dafeng Lu Xiao suddenly said, "Wait, I remembered something. That Huang something--Mr. Qi something--invisible sword seems pretty powerful."

Shaoge Lu Xiao said, "Mr. Huang Zhong's seven-string invisible sword."

Dafeng Lu Xiao nodded. "Yes, that's right. In the original novel, he lost to Linghu Chong, but he just happened to be restrained. It doesn't mean that this technique is ineffective. This type of sound technique is rare. If cultivated to a high level, it is definitely not inferior to any peerless magic technique."

Jiuzhou Lu Xiao said, "Okay, then I have a goal. I'll focus on these four techniques first, and then slowly find a way to leave the island. I'll be busy now, so you guys can chat."

After saying that, Jiuzhou Lu Xiao directly launched the soul space.

He's quite the impatient one.

Seeing this, the remaining four Lu Xiaos glanced at each other.

Then they said goodbye and left.

Do you know the world?

On the deck, Lu Xiao felt a little excited as he watched the dock gradually approaching from a distance.

Bianliang, here I come.

This is Bianliang, the capital of the Song Dynasty.

The places depicted in the Qingming Shanghe Tu.

The most prosperous city in the entire Song Dynasty.

It was also the most prosperous city in the entire world during this era.

In Lu Xiao's previous life, China had witnessed countless brilliant historical events over the past five thousand years.

But whenever people mention the dynasties in history.

There are always a few dynasties that cannot be avoided.

The hegemonic Qin, the powerful Han, the heroic Sui, the flourishing Tang, and the resolute Ming.

But when mentioning the Song Dynasty, many people will put the word "weak" in front of it.

Weak Song.

It seems that weak has become a synonym for the Song Dynasty.

Anyway, most of the people Lu Xiao knew in his previous life thought this way.

This also leads to the fact that people like the Song Dynasty much less than the dynasties mentioned above.

However, Lu Xiao felt that when evaluating a dynasty, one must consider many aspects.

Indeed, compared to the Qin and Han dynasties, the Song Dynasty does not seem to be doing so well.

As for why this is the case, it has to do with the word "martial arts".

"Civil and military achievements" "Military achievements".

Since ancient times, the evaluation of a dynasty has been based on the four words "civil governance and military achievements".

But how many people really know what civil and military achievements are?

These two words must be viewed separately.

Let's talk about "martial arts" first.

"Martial arts" simply means force and achievements.

If we want these two things, war is an inevitable theme.

From the Qin Dynasty to the Ming Dynasty, whenever "military power" reached its peak, wars were inevitable.

For example, the Qin Dynasty unified the world, standardized the writing system, standardized the wheel gauge, and built the Great Wall. These were all great achievements of the Qin Dynasty, but countless people died in the process.

But no matter what, we, the descendants, have truly enjoyed the benefits of this "sin in this lifetime, merit for generations to come" action.

Because we are "Qianqiu", the vested interests.

Our ancestors suffered and shed blood so that we can enjoy everything we have now, so we are grateful to them and like them, which is understandable.

Lu Xiao also likes it, and he likes it very much.

Don't lose to anyone.

This was the case with the Qin, the Han, the Tang, and the Ming.

Because their "martial arts" cannot be erased.
