Chapter 40 Discovery of the Secret Book
At dawn, everything was silent. The top of Yuntai Peak on the north peak of Huashan Mountain was shrouded in morning mist, as if a fairyland had fallen into the mortal world.
Lu Yuan and Lu Huaer sat cross-legged, waiting for the red sun to rise in the east.
The wind brought the breath of the mountains and forests, brushing the corners of clothes, revealing a bit of coolness.
Suddenly, a touch of orange-red jumped out of the sea of clouds in the distance, like the sword light of a peerless swordsman, instantly piercing the sky and splitting the darkness into two. The light was soft at first, then blazing, like the purest flame between heaven and earth.
It was at this time that Lu Yuan clearly felt that the world seemed to have become happy at this moment. He did not hesitate, and his internal force rushed out, wrapped in the momentum of the sea of clouds and the wind, forming an invisible vortex.
The two people in the center of the vortex began to operate the new skills after integrating "gathering qi".
When breathing through the mouth and nose, it seemed that there was a coolness penetrating the body, a kind of comfort from the bottom of the heart, which made people addicted.
This went on for about a quarter of an hour.
Lu Yuan and the other person opened their eyes at the same time. A little bit of purple remained in their eyes. As the practice progressed, it naturally dissipated.
"It does feel different, much easier. Will doing this every day in the future slow down aging?" Lu Huaer asked expectantly.
"You can see from Yue Buqun that he is almost sixty years old, but he still looks like he is in his forties. And we still have the "Changsheng Gong" to help us maintain our beauty. If we continue like this, we estimate that as long as we don't disperse the Gong within a hundred years, we can always maintain around thirty years old. If we complete the second stage of transformation, then..."
Lu Yuan deliberately kept it a secret.
"How is that?"
Lu Yuan laughed, "Then your life span and youth will be back, so, come on girl! Don't leave any wrinkles on your face."
"Don't worry! There won't be any!" At this moment, Lu Huaer's training mood was unprecedentedly high.
Lu Yuan was very satisfied with this reaction, and recalled the first time he had just gathered Qi.
As he thought, the purple Qi was like the river flowing eastward, and it was impossible to catch it.
Even if he spent a lot of effort to create an internal force vortex, it was at most comparable to three normal Qi collections. It was not that he did not gather enough purple Qi, but that his body had intercepted the upper limit.
He did not regret the result that he had expected. In the future, he would enter the second stage of the technique, which would be much more efficient than this.
Now he tried it, firstly, it was better than nothing, and secondly, he wanted to use this method to nourish Lu Huaer's body. Although the little girl was healthy every day, if it were not for his long-term conditioning and the nourishment of the customized version of "Changsheng Gong", it was unknown whether she could live past 12 years old.
Congenital deficiency is a headache. Lu Yuan is used to taking precautions. He still clearly remembers Lu Huaer's bean sprout-like appearance when she first came. In order to worry less in the future, he should work harder now.
Back to Huashan Sect.
On the way, Lao Yue found that the "Zixia Magic Art" was lost. After being harassed by Cheng Buyou and others, he rushed back to Huashan overnight and met Linghu Chong and Tian Boguang halfway.
After a debate on values, Lao Yue temporarily let Linghu Chong go at the cost of an extra sword wound on his leg and the increase of his chaotic internal energy to eight parts. The group hurried to Lu Dayou's room.
Before entering the door, they saw Lao Denuo lying on the ground with "Zixia Magic Art" in his hand from a distance.
"Second Senior Brother!"
All the disciples hurried forward and were about to help him.
"Don't move!"
Lao Yue shouted and stopped everyone from coming forward. He took the secret book back in his hand, checked it a little, and confirmed that there was no problem. Then his eyes fell back to the ground, with a trace of coldness undisguised.
"Senior Brother, Denuo seems to have... tripped and fainted?" Ning Zhongze was a little unsure after checking, because it sounded ridiculous.
"Go in and see Dayou first!" Yue Buqun turned around and told Linghu Chong and others.
Soon, Lu Dayou was woken up in a daze.
"Master?"
"What happened last night?"
Faced with the serious Old Yue, Lu Dayou hesitated for a moment, and subconsciously looked at Linghu Chong and Yue Lingshan.
"What are you still hesitating about?! They have already told me. I want to know what happened after Linghu Chong left!"
"After Senior Brother left, I, I..." Lu Dayou tried to recall, and finally showed a bitter face, "I don't remember. After Senior Brother left, I fell asleep in a daze. After that, I was just woken up by Senior Brother."
Old Yue was speechless. He turned his back and thought for a moment. His eyes turned cold and he said directly: "Go and lock up Lao Denuo for me first. No one is allowed to approach without my order!"
"Ah?!"
"Master, Second Senior Brother..."
"Forget it, I will tell you. I have already found out Lao Denuo's identity. He is actually an undercover planted by Songshan Sect. I didn't say it before because I wanted to see what Lao Denuo wanted to do. Now that my Huashan Sect has encountered many trivial matters, this guy finally showed his feet. He actually coveted my sect's "Purple Cloud Divine Art". In this case, there is no need to keep him!"
Old Yue said calmly.
The other disciples were shocked.
To be honest, Lao Denuo had a very good reputation in Huashan Sect over the years. In addition to providing various kinds of help to his fellow disciples on a daily basis, he would even occasionally help his disciples to resolve their problems. He left people with the impression of being an honest and caring elder brother.
Now, with one word from Lao Yue, everything collapsed!
Some disciples turned pale, not knowing whether they were frightened or because of other reasons.
After all the disciples left, Ning Zhongze asked privately about the treatment of Lao Denuo.
Lao Yue sighed. Imprisonment was the result of his deep thinking. Now the situation of the Five Mountains was unclear. Their Huashan Sect was in a weak position. It was not good to do it to the extreme, otherwise he would kill Lao Denuo on the spot.
After a discussion, the couple decided to go down the mountain as in the original.
But this time, because the Zixia secret book was not lost, Lao Yue hesitated again and again. He thought that it had been stolen once and it was not safe to keep it on his body. So he went to the dark room and planned to put the secret book in it.
As a result, as soon as the secret room was opened, he saw the extra manuscripts.
In an instant, Lao Yue's face changed drastically!
He shouted directly behind him: "Junior sister, notify the disciples to block the mountain gate and pay attention to all the forks in the mountain!"
After giving the order, he went forward to check other secret books. After carefully confirming that nothing was lost, he carefully and solemnly picked up the stack of manuscripts.
The three words "Haoran Sword" came into his eyes!
Old Yue continued to read, and the shadows of the sword moves of various schools of Huashan Sect kept appearing, but they were obviously much more advanced. There were a total of twelve sword moves that were refined to the extreme. Old Yue was amazed and almost couldn't help but applaud.
But when he saw the subsequent method of cultivating the sword heart with righteousness, for some reason, his old face turned red with shame. The manuscript clearly explained the teaching seriously, but he always felt that someone was staring at him and making innuendos.
At the end of the article, there was a sentence: [Don't be proud of your reputation, don't feel guilty for profit, be clear about your ups and downs, cultivate yourself, manage your family, and revitalize your sect. This is a true gentleman! ]
After reading it, Old Yue staggered a step, and his originally red face turned pale at this moment.
"Senior Brother!"
The soft call behind him scared Old Yue and he subconsciously hid the manuscript behind him.
But then, the sentence just now appeared in his mind again.
Gentleman! Gentleman! !
Lao Yue was a little unsteady, and his forehead was covered with sweat in the middle of September.
"Brother, don't scare me, what happened?" Ning Zhongze hurried over to support him.
Lao Yue stared at his wife's concerned face, which was still charming, and smiled bitterly, almost crying.
Fortunately, he managed to hold it back.
"Master, Junior Sister..."
As soon as Lao Yue opened his mouth, his voice was a little hoarse, but he still chose to continue, "Junior Sister, I was wrong, really wrong..."
