[Comprehensive] Tragedy Subversion

34. (Book Sword + Flying Fox) Traveling Through Kasili ([-])

In the blink of an eye, three years have passed.

Lin An'an and Huo Qingtong have already mastered the Tianshan School's "three-point swordsmanship" to the extreme, and they have also improved a lot in other swordsmanship and whip techniques.

However, as Jin Yong said, the later the dynasty, the lower the martial arts.

Rao is that the martial arts of the Tianshan School can be considered quite brilliant in "Book of Swords and Enmity", but looking at Jin Yong's martial arts world as a whole, the martial arts in "Book of Swords and Enmity" obviously cannot be compared with the previous generation.It is conceivable how the Tianshan School's martial arts are.

Although Lin Anan remembered the martial arts of the Five Poisons Sect, Tianshan Shuangying had bright eyes, and she would never dare to practice under their noses, lest they think she was practicing some evil martial arts and cause trouble.

Lin Anan thought about it, and suddenly realized one day that she was really stupid.He was clearly in Tianshan Mountain, how could he forget the Tianshan Child Elder in "Tianlong Babu"?

In the entire world of Jin Yong's martial arts, the martial arts in "Tianlong Babu" is already top-notch, and Tianshan Child Elder is the top master in "Tianlong Babu", and there is no need for a second move to kill.

It is too domineering to be the only one in the world, and there will be endless troubles, so it doesn't matter if you don't practice it.However, her Tianshan Zhemei Shou and Tianshan Liuyang Palm are unfathomably powerful, and the hidden weapon life and death talisman is even more superb.

Even the flick of the finger kung fu, which is considered "extremely superficial" by Tianshan Child Elder, is still very powerful.And she also has a lot of research on medical skills.

It would be great if he could learn the martial arts and medical skills of Tianshan Child Elder.

By the way, isn't Tianshan Vulture Palace located on Misty Peak at the southern foot of Tianshan Mountain?

Although Tianshan Mountain is vast, and with the passage of hundreds of years, it is difficult to figure out which mountain Misty Peak is.

But it can be expected that Misty Peak is not too far away from where he is, if he can find the location of Vulture Palace, wouldn't it be a good thing?Even if you can't find it, it's just to broaden your horizons.

Thinking this way, Lin Anan decided to find the Vulture Palace.

The next day, Lin Anan got up as usual and started a fire to cook with Huo Qingtong.During the meal, I asked Guan Mingmei: "Master, have you heard of the Tianshan Child Elder in Lingjiu Palace on Misty Peak?"

Tianshan Child Elder has lived in Tianshan for a long time, and the Vulture Palace he founded has eight subordinates, 36 islands and 72 caves under his command, and his influence even reaches the Dali area.However, she is far away in the Tianshan Mountains, and there are very few records about her in the Central Plains martial arts.

What's more, now that it's Qing Dynasty, hundreds of years have passed, Rao Tianshan Shuangying has a strong knowledge and strong memory, and it is true that she has never heard of her.

Guan Mingmei suddenly heard Lin Anan's question, thought for a while, shook his head, and said, "The Tianshan Child Elder of Misty Peak Lingjiu Palace? Who is that? I have never heard of this person. I have never heard of Misty Feng Lingjiu Palace, what sect and sect is this?" Turning to ask Chen Zhengde, "Old man, have you heard of it?"

Chen Zhengde shook his head: "No. Who is this person?"

Seeing that neither of them had heard of it, Lin Anan couldn't help but feel a little disappointed, but she didn't show it, and said, "I had a dream last night. I dreamed that there was a girl who looked like a jj-year-old girl, and told me that she was Tianshan Child Elder, who lives in the Vulture Palace of Misty Peak in Tianshan, said that I have a predestined relationship with her and wants me to meet her."

Chen Zhengde smiled and said: "You child, you are a child yourself, and you dream of children in your dreams. What kind of dream are you dreaming of? I have stayed in Tianshan with your master for many years, and I have never heard of this person. It's also interesting, since it's a child, why is it called Child Elder?"

Lin Anan explained: "I also asked her, and she said that she has practiced a kung fu called "Eight Desolation and Six Harmonies Only Me Conquer Kungfu". Those who can rejuvenate their youth, just accidentally go crazy and become like a girl."

Chen Zhengde felt very curious immediately, and asked: "Rejuvenate, what kind of kung fu is this, it's so amazing? It's really unheard of."

Lin Anan shook her head and said, "I'm also very curious, but the girl in the dream didn't want to tell, she just told me to find her."

Chen Zhengde turned his head to discuss with Guan Mingmei: "Junior Sister, I think this may also be a chance for Qing'er and Xiang'er. Since it's in Misty Peak of Tianshan Mountain, it's not too far from here, why don't you and I take Qing'er and Xiang'er to see it together?" Look, it's also an eye-opener."

Guan Mingmei's nickname "Snow Sculpture" is not without reason.It is precisely because she has turned from black hair to white hair early on that she got this nickname.

But no woman wants to face the twilight of a beauty, and Guan Mingmei is no exception.Hearing that there is a kung fu that can rejuvenate people in this world, of course he was very interested. Hearing this, he immediately nodded and said, "You are right." Then he asked Lin Anan, "Xiang'er, do you know the route to Misty Peak?"

Lin Anan shook her head and said: "I don't know. The girl didn't speak clearly, I didn't understand. She said that Misty Peak is covered with clouds and fog all the year round. From a distance, there is nothing there, so it is called Misty Peak. I heard from her that it seems to be located in the northwest of the former capital of the Xixia Kingdom, and it would take about ten days to get there by riding horses or camels from Xingqing Mansion, the capital of the Xixia Kingdom."

Chen Zhengde, Guan Mingmei, and Huo Qingtong were all taken aback. Huo Qingtong was familiar with history books, and immediately said: "Xixia Kingdom, that happened hundreds of years ago. After the Yuan Dynasty destroyed Xixia, Zhongxing Road was set up, and later changed to Ningxiafu Road. In the Ming Dynasty, it was set as Ningxia Wei. Xingqing Mansion is around the vicinity of today’s Ningxia Fucheng.”

Chen Zhengde pondered for a while, and said: "So Misty Peak should be in the northwest of Bogda Peak. According to the distance Xiang'er said, it is probably not very far from us. Anyway, you have also learned martial arts for several years , have not gone out to experience, we will go together." Turning to Huo Qingtong and Lin Anan, "Go back to your room and pack your things, we will set off to find the Vulture Palace tomorrow."

Lin An'an and Huo Qingtong naturally had no objection, they nodded when they heard the words, they happily went back to the room holding hands to pack their things.

Early the next morning, Lin Anan and his party of four rode to the northwest.

In "Dragon Babu" it is only said that Xu Zhu set off from Xixia Capital with everyone from Vulture Palace, first he walked for five days, then he walked for several days, and then he traveled all the way for two days, finally he arrived at Misty Peak.

This "several days" is really difficult to determine how many days it is, and Lin Anan does not know the specific route.

Fortunately, Tianshan Shuangying has been very familiar with the terrain of Huijiang for these years, and it is right to experience Lin An'an and Huo Qingtong, so they did not rush along the way and only searched slowly.

Even so, the four of them searched for more than ten days, but they couldn't find a suitable mountain, so they went all the way west again.

Fortunately, although the Tianshan area is vast and sparsely populated, the four of them can always find nearby tribes and buy various supplies in time, so they don't have to worry about starving and being trapped.

After a few more days like this, I saw a cloud-shrouded mountain in the northwest.

The four of them had been searching for days, and they were all a little tired. However, when they saw this mountain suddenly, even though they knew that they still had a day or two to go, their hearts were filled with ecstasy.They couldn't help but look at each other, laughed, and then hurried on their way.

The next day, he walked for another day, and saw that the mountain peak was not far away, but it was getting late, and he didn't know what the scene on Misty Peak was like.

Although Chen Zhengde thought he was not weak in martial arts, he didn't want his wife and apprentice to take risks, so he decided to stop and rest for one night, so that he could go up the mountain the next morning to find out the situation.

Several people followed his arrangement and found a suitable place nearby to light a fire and cook. After talking and laughing, they all went to rest in order to recharge their batteries.

Early the next morning, the four of them headed towards the mountain peak.

When they arrived at the foot of the mountain, they saw that the place was extremely quiet, and there was no one there. They looked at each other, then got off their horses, and walked up the mountain.

Walking along the way, the surroundings are extremely quiet. Although the mountain is steep and difficult to walk, but the four of them all have martial arts protection, so it is not difficult.But when I came to the middle of the mountain, I saw that there was no bridge between the two cliffs.

Lin Anan stretched her head to have a look. The distance between the two cliffs was more than ten meters, and below was a deep valley with jagged rocks.Lin Anan reckoned that it was absolutely impossible for her current martial arts to pass, so she silently stepped aside.

Not to mention her, even the Tianshan Shuangying couple, who have practiced martial arts for decades, saw the terrain here and looked at the distance several times.

The four of them carefully checked the terrain, there was only one road leading to the top, and if they wanted to reach the top, they had to go through here.

For a while, the four of them looked at each other in blank dismay.

Huo Qingtong's mind was extremely flexible. Seeing that his master and master were silent, he immediately understood that they couldn't go there directly, so he immediately used his brain to think of countermeasures.

Lin An'an thought that in the original book, Xu Zhu relied on the internal force imparted to him by Wu Yazi to use the lancet to nail the iron chain to the opposite cliff, and that's how he passed.

However, hundreds of years have passed by this time, and even the iron chain has disappeared.What's more, after transmigrating to become Princess Xiangxiang, she only practiced martial arts for a few years, so she doesn't have Xu Zhu's deep inner strength at all.

Even if Chen Zhengde and Guan Mingmei are added together, it is impossible to compare with Xu Zhu's internal strength at that time, therefore, it is impossible to use Xu Zhu's method.

Lancet?Internal force?Lin An'an was thinking hard about how to connect a bridge above the two cliffs.

Suddenly he had an idea, he had no internal strength, but he could use a bow and crossbow. As long as the bow and arrow were sharp enough, they could probably be nailed into the cliff.

Thinking of this, Lin Anan said, "We can use bows and crossbows."

As soon as she opened her mouth, Huo Qingtong had already thought of this point, and they both spoke in unison.

After speaking, the two looked at each other and laughed.

Chen Zhengde and Guan Mingmei's eyes lit up immediately, didn't they? When manpower is not enough, they can definitely use tools.

There was a solution, but unfortunately the four of them didn't think of this section when they set off. They brought their usual weapons, swords, whips, and even knives, except that they didn't bring bows and crossbows.

Among the four, Chen Zhengde had the highest martial arts and was a man. After the discussion, he went down the mountain to buy a bow and crossbow, while the other three stayed here.

After Chen Zhengde left, the three of them realized that the nearest tribe was half a day's journey away, and it would be dark when Chen Zhengde came back, so it would be better for the three of them to go down the mountain and wait.

After the three agreed, they went down the mountain the same way.

Sure enough, Chen Zhengde just came back after dark.He sold the best crossbow and the sharpest and toughest arrows from a Uighur who was good at hunting.Guan Mingmei carefully tied the tough ropes to the nocks of the arrows, and specially bought a few more for emergencies.

Early the next morning, the four of them went up the mountain with ease.

When he reached the cliff, Chen Zhengde tried again and again, and after a while, he nailed a bow and arrow into the opposite cliff.

Chen Zhengde's qinggong was good, and he stepped on the rope bridge to the opposite side very smoothly.Guan Mingmei, Lin An'an, and Huo Qingtong's lightness skills are not bad, so they all passed smoothly.

The four of them continued to go up along the path, and after walking for about an hour, they reached the peak. Sure enough, the clouds and mist shrouded the land more and more densely, and the eyes were full of pine trees.What he stepped on was an avenue paved with bluestone slabs. Each piece of bluestone was about eight feet long and three feet wide, very neat.

This Qingshi Avenue is about two miles long. At the end of the stone road, a huge stone fortress stands majestically. On the left and right sides of the gate of the fortress, there is a stone-carved vulture, more than three feet high, with sharp beaks and huge claws. close.

The four people looked up and were amazed. Chen Zhengde was horrified and said: "The terrain of this mountain is steep, and it is not easy to climb up. I don't know when it was built. It's really amazing. I want to live in the fort. It's a senior."

All three nodded yes.

Chen Zhengde straightened his clothes, saw that there was nothing wrong with it, his face was serious, and he raised his voice and said to the castle: "I don't know which senior's fairy mansion this is, the junior Tianshan sent Chen Zhengde, his wife Guan Mingmei, and his young disciples Huo Qingtong and Kasili to come. Visit, and please allow me to meet you, senior."

When he spoke, he used his internal strength, his voice was loud and loud, and he expected that the people in the castle would not fail to hear him.

However, after waiting for a long time, there was no answer from anyone in the castle, but the sound of the wind blowing through the pine forest was clearly distinguishable.

After Chen Zhengde and Guan Mingmei looked at each other, they shouted again.However, there was still no response from the castle this time.

In fact, since there was no iron chain bridge on the cliff, Lin Anan guessed that the descendants of Xu Zhu and Meng Gu were no longer here, and the subordinates of the old Vulture Palace probably disappeared.

Seeing Chen Zhengde yelling several times, but there was no movement in the castle, Lin Anan said, "We have walked all the way, but we haven't seen any traces of people. It is estimated that this place has long been abandoned by senior experts."

Huo Qingtong also said: "Kasili is right, I have observed it, and there is no trace of people here. When we went up the mountain, there were faint rust marks on the edge of the cliff. It is estimated that there was a bridge connecting the two sides in the past. , but for some reason, it was broken later, presumably it was broken when the senior master left here."

After discussing with the four, they decided to open the gate of the fort and go in to have a look.

Although the gate of the fort is heavy, but the four of them all have martial arts, so it's not difficult to handle. After a while, the four of them opened the gate of the fort.

The inside of the castle is huge and there are many courtyards, so the four of them went in one by one to have a look.

The first few courtyards were quite ordinary, but later on there was a courtyard with a hall. This hall is so huge that hundreds of people can stand there without any problem.

All four of them went in to check.Lin Anan looked up and saw nine raised platforms near the roof, so she pointed to the platforms and said to the three of them: "Master, Master, Sister, look, how many platforms are there."

The three of them saw that it was indeed the case, and Chen Zhengde jumped up first. After checking it, he found that there was nothing unusual.

The four of them went to other places, but there was no gain.

Lin Anan remembered that the martial arts of Vulture Palace were recorded on the stone wall of the apse, and the entrance of the apse was the rockery in the garden, so he led the three of them to the garden without any trace.

When they arrived in the garden, Lin Anan looked around, pretending to be very interested, and after a while, called Huo Qingtong again: "Sister, come and take a look, there seems to be something wrong with this rockery."

The two tried for a while, but they worked together to move the rockery away, and sure enough, they saw the entrance of a tunnel exposed.Lin An'an and Huo Qingtong were both surprised and happy, and hurriedly raised their voices to call Chen Zhengde and Guan Mingmei to come and see.

Huo Qingtong said: "I don't know how long there will be no one in this tunnel, I can't go down immediately, I have to wait."

The four of them waited for a long time, thinking that the miasma inside was almost gone, so they filed in.

Lin An'an said: "This place is so hidden, presumably there is no mechanism, we'd better be careful."

All three of them said: "You are right." At that moment, they were all very energetic, and they were extremely cautious with every step they took, lest they would fall into the trap.

Huo Qingtong and Lin Anan carefully inspected the stone walls, and moved the raised or sunken stone walls from time to time.

It is also lucky for a few people, walking all the way, they did not touch the hidden weapon trap.

When we reached the top of the tunnel, we saw a protruding stone on the left and right sides of the stone wall. Chen Zhengde said: "It seems to be another trap, but I don't know which one to choose?"

Lin An'an naturally knew to choose the one on the left, and said, "Most machines are on the right along the way, so I guess this should be on the left."

Chen Zhengde pushed the rock on the left, and sure enough, a stone chamber was exposed.

The four of them walked into the stone room, and saw that the rocks on the four walls were polished very smooth, and the stone walls were carved with countless circles about a foot long.

Each circle is engraved with various graphics, some are portraits, some are animal shapes, some are incomplete characters, and some are just marks and lines. One", "child two" and other numbers.

If the number of circles does not exceed a thousand, there are at least j□j hundreds, but how can you see it comprehensively at the moment?

The four of them looked at picture A first, and Chen Zhengde said, "It looks like a martial arts starting move." He and Guan Mingmei practiced it for a few times, and felt that they really improved.

Chen Zhengde and Guan Mingmei have been practicing martial arts for decades, and their internal strength is good, so there is no need to worry.

Lin Anan had only practiced martial arts for a few years after crossing. Although he made rapid progress, his internal strength was not enough. He only dared to look at the first picture right now.

She knew that Huo Qingtong's internal strength was not good enough, so she pulled Huo Qingtong and asked her to watch it with her. Huo Qingtong always loved her, so she only looked at the first picture as promised.

After Chen Zhengde and Guan Mingmei practiced a few pieces, they felt that their true energy was blocked, and they knew that this martial art was probably too advanced to be eager for success, so they stopped practicing.

Even so, this kind of benefit is something that the two of them never dared to imagine before.

The two people saw a booklet in the stone room, they picked it up to read, it was indeed Xu Zhu's record, it recorded the things about the Xiaoyao School in the past, especially the deeds of Tianshan Child Elder.

Chen Zhengde hurriedly called Lin Anan, and said, "Xiang'er, since you dreamed about this Tianshan Child Elder, it can be seen that you are indeed destined to be with her. The martial arts recorded on this stone wall are all left by this old predecessor's ancestors." , extremely profound. Your master and I are old, I’m afraid we won’t be able to learn it. You and Qing’er must study carefully, so as to commemorate this old senior, so that she will not be in vain for giving you a dream.”

Lin Anan said with a smile: "What the master said is that this senior entrusted me with dreams, and I don't want my martial arts to be buried in the world. Since the master and the master agree that the disciples and sisters learn the martial arts here, then we should be respectful." Obedience."

Guan Mingmei said with a smile: "Your master and I have no children. After getting along for a few years, we have long regarded you as our own children. But for any parents, how can there be any good who doesn't want their own children? We are naturally looking forward to you The more outstanding the better. Fortunately, I used to think that the martial arts of the Tianshan School were already incredible. After seeing the records here, I realized that there is a sky beyond the sky, and there are people beyond the people. The stink is exquisite, you just study hard, and when the time comes, your master and I will be honored."

Both Lin An'an and Huo Qingtong laughed, and said, "Yes, I will follow Master's orders."
