Chapter 320 Not Strong Enough
Wuzhan was carried up the mountain on a rattan chair by Huangshan disciples this time. Yunmeng, Feijian and others came down the mountain in person to greet and thank them, which was unexpected for Wuzhan.
Qin Moyao did not come down the mountain to greet him. She just glanced at Wuzhe in the house and then closed the window, which surprised many people.
Bixia did not come out to see Wuzhan. It was a very quiet night. Wuzhan slept well without being disturbed.
On the morning of the second day, Yun Meng was injured and decided to postpone his tribulation. He opened Ziyun Cave and allowed disciples from other sects to watch the martial arts techniques written on the stone wall.
Early in the morning, Yunmeng sent his disciples to invite Wuzhan to go to Lianrui Peak, and also prepared a rattan chair. Wuzhan insisted that he could do it himself and there was no need to make too much effort, so he did not sit down and followed the Huangshan disciples to Lianrui Peak.
Entering the Lotus Hall, Yunmeng, Feijian, Bixia, Bai Haotian, Linyazi and others were all there, but Qin Moyao was nowhere to be seen.
After some polite words, Fei Jian said, "The reason why we gathered everyone here is to discuss Master Yun's tribulation. This is related to the beliefs of cultivators and is a world-shaking event in the cultivation world. If he succeeds and becomes an immortal, he will definitely leave the most precious skills for future generations. However, this is also very dangerous and concerns Master Yun's life. If he fails, he may die. After we tried our best to persuade him, Master Yun finally agreed to tell you the skills in advance for your reference. If you find any omissions, please make up for them in time."
After Feijian finished speaking, everyone nodded in agreement. Amidst the discussion, Yunmeng took out a stack of silk, a total of fourteen pieces, and ordered his disciples to unfold them, hold them in their hands, and show them to everyone. Everyone stood up to take a closer look.
Each one has pictures and texts copied from the stone wall, and below is Yunmeng's translation and insights, which are very detailed.
After Emperor Xuanyuan Huangdi defeated Chiyou, he abdicated the throne, stopped caring about worldly affairs, and devoted himself to cultivating immortality and enlightenment. One rumor said that he eventually ascended to heaven and became a sage in heaven. Another rumor said that during his cultivation, his old illness relapsed and he turned into a fairy in Mount Huangshan.
Regardless of which rumor it was, there was no doubt that Emperor Xuanyuan Huangdi had realized the way of heaven and earth. He left many classic books and methods for future generations. Even in the heaven at that time, he had a certain status. Otherwise, how could Xuannv come down to the world to help in the battle? Therefore, when everyone saw this technique, their eyes became crazy. They watched it carefully, afraid to miss every detail, and praised it while watching. After all, ascending to heaven and becoming an immortal is the dream of every cultivator. Now that the method of flying is right in front of them, how could they suppress the expression on their faces.
Everyone stared at it for a long time. Fei Jian glanced at Wu Zhan and asked with a smile, "Sir, what do you think is wrong with this technique?"
Wuzhan pointed at the ink on the rubbing and said, "It looks like the ink hasn't dried yet."
Everyone else was looking at the contents on the rubbing carefully, afraid that they would not be able to remember them, but Wuzhan was paying attention to whether the ink on it had dried. He was truly an alternative person.
Yun Meng's expression changed slightly, and he said hurriedly, "Sir, you really have a good eye. I was worried that the original one would be lost, so I prepared this one myself last night. It is exactly the same as the original one."
Wuzhan said: “I see.”
Yun Meng asked, "I wonder what other problems did you find, sir?"
Wuzhan said: "There is nothing wrong with this technique, I'm just worried that if Master Yun tries it, it might be dangerous."
Yun Meng's heart trembled, and he frowned and asked, "Why do you think so?"
Wuzhang said: "Miss Ye of the Nitian Sect has already said that Master Yun is a sacrificial soul. When practicing this technique, as long as the soul is moved, it will be restricted by gravity. If you force yourself to cross the calamity, I am afraid that the soul will not be able to withstand the five thunderbolts and will disintegrate."
Yun Meng's voice trembled a little, "Sir, you actually believe in the words of the Anti-Heaven Cult?"
"I don't believe it completely, but I can't help but believe it. There should be two more pictures in this rubbing, which are missing the last stage of cultivation."
Yun Meng sighed, "Sir, you are truly knowledgeable and erudite. I am ashamed of myself. To be honest, there are indeed two pictures on the back, but they have been eroded by the dripping water in the cave for many years and covered with a layer of stalactites, making it difficult to copy. Some of the pictures and texts are no longer clear. I also spent my later years in seclusion in the cave, studying and practicing at the same time."
Wuzhan said again, "I see."
Fei Jian said, "It seems that you know these ancient texts, sir?"
"Know a thing or two."
Fei Jian smiled and said, "Since you know it, I wonder if you are interested in going into the cave and taking a look. Perhaps you can find something."
Most people were thinking and discussing seriously, and few people were paying attention to the conversation on Feijian's side. However, when Feijian asked this question, Bixia glanced at Wuzhan with a complicated expression.
Wuzhe paused for a moment, looked at Yunmeng and said, "This is an important place for cultivating immortals in Huangshan. How dare this junior set foot here?"
Yun Meng said hurriedly: "It's okay, there is only this technique in the cave, and there are no more secrets now. If you want to go, sir, I will lead the way."
Wuzhan said: "Since Master Yun has invited me, I will just obey your orders."
……
The cave is at the foot of Xuanyuan Peak, far from Lianrui Peak. The mountain road is rugged and rocky. Yunmeng leads the way in front, and there are Feijian, Bixia, Shilifang, Bai Haotian, Linyazi, Danpu, Yu Guizhou and Wei Ziyou.
About an hour later, everyone arrived in front of Xuanyuan Peak. There was a bottomless abyss dozens of feet wide between them. There was a vine bridge on the top, which was made of a few vines. It was surrounded by lingering mist, giving people a sense of harmony and nature.
Yun Meng jumped onto the vine bridge, "Everyone, please be careful, I'll go ahead!" Like a dragonfly skimming the water, he reached the other side in a few leaps and bounds. During this time, the vines only swayed a few times. His Qinggong was indeed extraordinary. He turned around and shouted, "Everyone, please let me pass."
Then it was Fei Jian. His lightness skill was even more amazing. The vines barely moved at all. Just based on this skill, many people felt ashamed of themselves.
After a while, only Bixia and Wuzhan were left. Wuzhan asked, "I wonder if Yuanjun's injury has healed?"
Bixia's bright eyes moved, and the corners of her eyes were slightly moist. "I have recovered a lot, otherwise I would not have come here with you. Sir, you sacrificed yourself to save Miaoxin. I am sorry to bother you last night. I just remembered now that I haven't thanked you yet. I hope you can forgive me."
Wuzhan said: "It's just a small favor, you are too polite, Yuanjun."
At this time, the people who were passing by looked over, obviously waiting for them. Bixia said, "Sir, please go first."
Wuzhan jumped onto the vine bridge, which shook and creaked. Everyone was surprised that his Qinggong was so mediocre, but they soon realized that it was caused by severe internal injuries. Yunmeng hurriedly said, "If it is inconvenient for you, I can take you over."
Wuzhan said, "I can do it myself." After that, he started to walk unsteadily. Seeing this, Bixia also jumped onto the vine bridge. After she got on, the vine bridge stopped shaking. Wuzhan walked over easily, and Bixia followed closely behind him.
Yunmeng quickly led everyone to climb a cliff and entered the cave.
The light in the cave was dim. Feipu and Wei Ziyou lit torches. The cave was not wide, only about one person tall. In some places, one had to lower one's head and bend over to pass through. Yunmeng led everyone for a distance and came to an open space. The ground was relatively dry. There were simple stone beds and stone benches. Maybe it was the place where Yunmeng had been resting in seclusion for the past few years. There were indeed patterns on the stone wall, but they were not ancient characters. Everyone could recognize them as some sword moves of Huangshan.
Yunmeng smiled at Wuzhan and said, "The pattern is not here!" He walked to the stone wall opposite the cave entrance and moved a protruding square stone. "Boom..." The heavy stone wall actually moved upwards and opened a door that was one person wide. Yunmeng turned around and said, "It's here!" He led everyone in one by one.
Sure enough, the patterns on the stone wall were exactly the same as those on the rubbings, except that the last two pictures were not eroded by dripping water, it could be said that there was not even a drop of water.
When Wuzhan saw this, his body stopped. He realized that everyone was behind him. He even heard the sound of hands on the hilt of the sword. The air seemed to freeze in an instant and he immediately became tense. Wuzhan didn't say anything and waited for an answer.
Fei Jian said, "Sir, do you know what is wrong with the last two pictures?"
Wuzhan turned around and said calmly, "Why ask if the real person knows the problem?"
Fei Jian smiled and said, "The reason I did this is to let you see that the pattern is incomplete. I must show my talent and come here to see it with my own eyes."
Wuzhan was not flustered and sneered: "You know me very well."
Fei Jian said, "At this point, sir, what else do you have to say?"
Wuzhan said: "Li doesn't know how I have offended you and why I am doing this."
Yun Meng sighed and said, "We suspect that you are the evil demon from Changping three years ago."
Wuzhan said: "Just because of suspicion, you want to kill him regardless of the grace of saving your life? Is this the morality of your famous sect?"
Yun Meng said sternly: "If I can get rid of you, I will return the life I saved to you as a burial companion."
Wuzhan nodded and said, "Maybe this is 'sacrifice one's life for justice', or I am not strong enough. If I were like the immortal in heaven, you wouldn't even dare to doubt him. You know in your heart that he is more terrifying than a demon."
Yu Guizhou shouted: "Stop talking nonsense and show your true self!" He hated Wuzhan to the core, let alone the evil demon.
Wuzhan ignored Yu Guizhou, obviously thinking that Yu Guizhou was not qualified enough, and said calmly: "If you do this, aren't you afraid that one day the First Emperor will blame you and destroy your sects?"
Fei Jian said: "Even if we destroy our sects, we can't let you, a vicious demon, harm the people!"
Wuzhan said: "Since you can bear the consequences, then do it!"
Bixia said, "Your identity has been exposed, what's the point of wearing a mask?"
Wuzhan hesitated for a moment and said lightly: "Yuanjun is right." He took off the mask, revealing his handsome face, calm and indescribably charming. This time he was not wearing a mask. In fact, when Yunmeng and Feijian invited him to the mountain, he had expected this moment to come.
Yun Meng, Yu Guizhou, and Wei Ziyou thought to themselves, "It really is him!"
Feijian, Linyazi and Danpu had never seen Wuzhan before, but when they saw him now, they couldn't help but marvel inwardly that there really were such handsome men in the world. No wonder Sect Leader Qin did those things.
Bai Haotian almost blurted out "Junior Brother", but he knew that the ill-fated Junior Brother was already dead, and the one in front of him was just a body possessed by an evil demon. He thought to himself, "Fortunately I didn't tell Ke Xin, otherwise I don't know what stupid things she would do." Standing aside, thinking back to Wuzhan, it was hard to calm down.
When Bixia saw this, her heart was broken, this was the only person who made him sad, "Could he really be a demon?" Bixia was a little unconvinced, or to be exact, a little hesitant.
Fei Jian said, "We have been observing you since you came up the mountain yesterday. Your internal injuries are extremely serious, your bones are broken in several places, and your pulse is extremely disordered. You pretend to be calm, but you are just trying your best to cover it up."
Wuzhan said: "Master Feijian's observation is correct. I escaped a disaster, but I was indeed seriously injured. However, Master's words only show that you are still not sure of defeating me."
Fei Jian said: "We are just making sure everything is safe."
Wuzhan said: "This scene is very similar to the Cangyan Mountain three years ago, except that I was indeed possessed by a fierce demon at that time, and now, I am alive, but I am identified as a fierce demon."
“If you want to get rid of this evil demon, how can you not call me!” Qin Moyao walked out from behind the crowd, her eyes fixed on Wuzhan’s face. She didn’t expect that the face was intact, not the ugly face she saw in southern Xinjiang. After a moment, her gaze slowly moved away.
Yunmeng and Feijian were aware of the relationship between Qin Moyao and Wuzhan, so when they were plotting, they were afraid that the news would leak out, so they specifically instructed that Qin Moyao must not be notified. Even when they invited the leaders of various sects to discuss matters at Lianrui Peak, they only did not invite Qin Moyao. But they never expected that Qin Moyao would actually come along, but from what she said, it seemed that she was on their side.
Yun Meng said: "We are worried that Sect Leader Qin might have concerns, so we concealed it from Sect Leader Qin. Please don't blame us, Sect Leader Qin."
Qin Moyao looked at everyone and smiled slightly, "Moyao's thoughts are the same as yours. I have been suspicious of him for a long time. I did that before to find out his true strength. Now that I know he is the evil demon from three years ago, there is nothing to worry about. Defending the Dao and exorcising demons is our duty as cultivators."
Hearing this, Yu Guizhou was the one who felt most relieved, "It turns out that I misunderstood her!" All the clouds in his heart were swept away at this moment.
Fei Jian praised: "Master Qin is very righteous, and you said it well. I have misunderstood Master Qin. If we can get rid of this evil demon today, we will definitely regard Master Qin as our leader."
A woman's heart changes so quickly, Wuzhan deeply understands this at the moment, but when he thinks about it, she actually hasn't changed.
