Chapter 74: A Carefree Tour among Flowers, Part 2
The more you visit the Valley of Flowers, the more you will be amazed at the exquisite and ingenious mechanisms.
The Three Stars Overlooking the Moon is such a dangerous place, but it was built with human power to create such a ladder that goes straight up to the sky. The plank road that hugs the cliffs is so steep that even a horse can walk up the steps without any obstacles. It is amazing.
The Eight Trigrams in this valley are surrounded by cliffs. If there is no one to lead the way into the valley, idle people will definitely get lost and cannot enter.
Lu Miaozi was amazed and admired Xiao Hao very much: "Sir, you are so talented! I claim to be proficient in the wonders of nature, but I have no idea about the huge project in this valley. I think the five elements of Qimen should be combined with the mountains and rivers to be more powerful! After seeing all kinds of things in this valley today, I realized how narrow my vision was before. I have only seen the appearance of the small valley and thought I knew it well. But I never noticed that there are such natural dangers of stone peaks and such a wonder of the world, the clear day sea!"
Xiao Hao smiled leisurely and said: "I have nothing to do, so I just built some things. On weekdays, I live in the Zhaixing Tower on the top of the Three Stars Looking at the Moon. I am very idle. If you like, You can stay in the valley for a few more days."
After hearing what he said, Lu Miaozi looked at the three towering stone needles and immediately understood something.
The Zhaixing Tower went straight into the clouds. Living in such a broad place, one could have a clear view of everything in and outside the valley.
He thought that it was his arrival that caused Xiao Hao to reveal the true appearance of the valley to the outside world, and said with some shame: "Mr. Xiao has lived here for a long time, I guess I have taken over his nest... To be honest, I came here to build a house on the mountain, to create a secluded place in this secluded valley, but I didn't expect to disturb Mr. Xiao's peace."
Fortunately, he had not done much groundwork. After being discovered, he blatantly occupied land and built a house in front of someone's house, and was invited to come in for tea and visit, and was also invited to stay overnight... This Mr. Xiao is really as gentle and good-tempered as he looks.
Xiao Hao waved his hand nonchalantly and took him up the ladder to the star-viewing residence. "I was planning to open the door, so don't take your tricks to heart."
Lu Miaozi felt even more ashamed after hearing this. It was obvious that Xiao Hao was trying to appease him.
He came to the valley to escape from the world, and now that he saw the true face of the valley, he felt that this place was like a paradise. It was wrong to disturb people's peace, and he was a little embarrassed to ask Xiao Hao to take him in.
"I just thought this place was deserted and called it a small valley in the deep forest. I wonder if this valley has a name?"
Xiao Hao said to him, "Qingyan Wanhua."
Lu Miaozi chewed these words in his mouth and praised, "A single flower does not make spring, but a thousand flowers blooming together make the garden full of spring. Sir, you are elegant and graceful. It seems that in addition to the government, you have other knowledge."
Xiao Hao smiled but did not say anything, neither admitting nor denying.
Lu Miaozi believed this deeply and felt that he had accidentally met a hermit.
"My name is Lu Miaozi. I am amazed by the ingenuity of the government in this valley and want to show my courage..."
They just arrived at their destination. Lu Miaozi saw Xiao Hao asking him to sit down in the Star Viewing House, so he had to stop talking temporarily.
Below the cliff is the fresh and beautiful Wanhua Wonderland. Xiao Hao brushed his sleeves and frowned, brewing tea with his bare hands to entertain Lu Miaozi. "This is Wanhua Valley Yingliu Tea, which is made from the spring water of the sea and mountains on a sunny day. Drinking it can make people feel refreshed. I prepared it in a hurry, so I hope you will forgive me for any inconvenience."
This skill of brewing tea was learned from Wuhua. Wuhua was known as the Seven Wonders Wonderful Monk, and his famous skill of making drunken tea was well-known in the world. It was very rare to drink it. More importantly, this set of skills looked extremely pleasing to the eye. Xiao Hao used this set to fool Chu Liuxiang in the past.
Lu Miaozi saw that his movements were like flowing clouds and water, and his tilts and lifts were well-paced, and he looked leisurely and calm. He must have been influenced for many years and had formed a habit. He admired him even more.
As soon as he took a sip of the tea, he was surprised that this fine tea was not like something from the mortal world. He wondered if he had mistakenly entered the residence of an immortal.
Xiao Hao saw that he had been teased to the point of being itchy, so he said to him calmly: "I see that you are also a person with unique skills. If you are interested in this valley, you might as well stay in Tiangong Workshop. It won't be too late to leave when you are not interested."
Lu Miaozi was startled, thinking that maybe this person had seen through his thoughts. He said with some embarrassment on his face: "Thank you for your kindness, sir... Hey, I am a troublesome person. I am already very embarrassed to disturb you today. If I stay a little longer, I am afraid that I will give you this quiet place in the future. Bring disaster."
Xiao Hao's heart was slightly moved, but he put down the tea set without changing his expression, pointed to the ladder at the foot of the mountain and the huge ecliptic on the Suoxingtan and asked him: "From your point of view, what do you think of the buildings in this valley?" Lu
Miaozi was stunned for a moment, and said from the bottom of his heart: "Exquisite!"
Xiao Hao then smiled and said: "In this case, with your talent, if no one guides you, can you see the true state of this valley?" Lu
Miaozi pondered and shook his head and said: "Even if I am, I dare not say that I can find this Wanhua Valley smoothly."
"Then what are you worried about?"
Lu Miaozi was stunned, and suddenly realized that it made sense.
With his ability, he dared not say that he could enter this Wanhua Valley, let alone the group of uneducated people behind him.
There is always a way out. He had originally planned to live in seclusion in a small valley, hiding his whereabouts. This Wanhua Valley was obviously better than the seclusion he could create. It didn't matter where he hid.
However, he had received Xiao Hao's kindness for nothing. Thinking of those vicious people in the Demon Sect who were chasing him relentlessly, he was afraid that he would implicate this innocent hermit master.
"Sir, you have been away from home for a long time, so you must not be very clear about what is happening in the martial arts world now."
Xiao Hao raised his eyebrows slightly, poured him a new cup of tea, and said as he sipped his tea, "I would like to hear the details."
Lu Miaozi did not want to waste this top-quality Yingliu tea, so he took a sip and said slowly, "Since the Han Dynasty, the world has respected Confucianism and Legalism. From the Spring and Autumn Period to the present, the Taoist schools of thought such as Mozi, Yang Zhu, Hui Shi, and Sun Bin have been regarded as heretics because their ideas are inconsistent with the mainstream. They are called the devil's way in the martial arts world."
He suddenly laughed, shook his head and said, "Sir, you are knowledgeable and talented, there is no need for me to elaborate on this matter."
Xiao Hao looked at him with a smile and motioned for him to continue.
"The peerless genius Tianmo Cangju searched all the rare books in the world, eliminated the dross and kept the essence, and compiled them into ten volumes of Tianmo Strategy, which founded the two sects and six paths of the Demon Sect, each with its own unique skills. In response, the so-called righteous path based on mainstream thoughts such as Confucianism, Taoism and Buddhism also came into being, which is Cihang Jingzhai." He looked at the beautiful scenery of thousands of flowers under the cliff, his eyes filled with unspeakable sighs, "Dynasties rise and fall, and mountains and rivers change, the dispute between the Demon Sect and the righteous path has never stopped."
"The current evil emperor Xiang Yutian is a man of great talent. He has mastered the 'Dao Xin Zhong Mo Dafa' and once led the Demon Sect to great heights. However, he felt that this method was dangerous to practice and was unwilling to pass it on to future generations. However, he had to obey the order of his master to continue the inheritance of the Demon Sect, so he accepted four extremely heartless and selfish disciples. He made them unable to go out and do evil because they were fighting for the Dao Xin Zhong Mo Dafa. He himself also went astray and became possessed by the devil because of practicing the Dao Xin Zhong Mo Dafa."
As he spoke, he slowly took out a sealed yellow crystal ball from his arms and said to Xiao Hao: "When he was dying, he entrusted the evil emperor's relic to me and asked me to keep it for him."
When Xiao Hao saw the crystal ball he took out, his smile froze on his face.
"..." I thought I just picked up a great person to show off my status, but I never expected that I would pick up a super big trouble! I
have to deal with him even if I cry.
He has already said that he must not let him leave the valley at this time.
Seeing that his face was normal, Lu Miaozi was more convinced that he had lived in the valley for many years and knew nothing about the outside world. He didn't know the importance of the evil emperor's relic. He also trusted this person who suddenly appeared in the valley a little more.
The Wanhua Valley was not built in a day or two, and Xiao Hao's performance was indeed not like that of an ordinary person. Although it is necessary to be on guard against others, Lu Miaozi believed that he had a good eye. The buildings in this valley took at least several years, or even decades to build to their current appearance. How could the people in the Demon Sect know that the Evil Emperor would give him the relic after his death? How could they guess where he would go to live in seclusion? The probability was too small.
Lu Miaozi felt relieved and was very grateful to Xiao Hao for taking in this hot potato of his. He then said to him: "The evil emperor's relic contains the essence and vitality of several generations of Demon Sect Saints. Before the death of the Demon Sect Saints of all generations, they would pour their life's strength into it. Over time, this thing was regarded as the Demon Sect's most precious treasure, and the people of the Demon Sect called it the 'holy relic'."
He lowered his head and looked at the yellow crystal ball with some distress. "Now, all the masters of good and evil want to get the evil emperor's relic from me. However, my predecessor's four disciples are not people I can trust. Since I have been entrusted by him, I cannot let this item fall into the hands of Cihang Jingzhai, so I came to this small valley in the deep forest, hoping to live in seclusion and let the evil emperor's relic fade from the eyes of the world."
Xiao Hao thought for a while and said to him: "The mechanism of Wanhua Valley is very strange. It is a very clever place, easy to defend but difficult to attack, and it is not easy for outsiders to enter. You can hide in the valley for the time being. If someone really comes to find you, you can think of a countermeasure at that time. "
Lu Miaozi felt that Xiao Hao was sincere to others, but he dragged him into such a mess. In addition to guilt, he couldn't help but worry: "Does the master know martial arts? Although the disciples of the Demon Sect are not as good as the martial arts masters, they are also very difficult to deal with. If the master ..."
This man looks like a weak scholar who is powerless. If those ferocious demons rush into the valley and kill this handsome hermit with one knife...
Lu Miaozi didn't dare to think about it. He felt extremely heartbroken when he thought about it. All the creations in the Wanhua Valley were made by this man. Such a unique genius is rare in the world. If he dies here, it will be a great sin for him.
"That's okay. I also know a little bit about martial arts." Xiao Hao thought about his equipment score of more than 7,000 and couldn't help sighing in his heart.
It's difficult... It's really difficult...
The equipment score of the Li Jing Yi Dao's mental method is only 4,400. I'm afraid he will be killed before he finishes reading it.
He strongly requested the system to quickly subsidize him with two sets of equipment. This poor Peanut was really worried.
Lu Miaozi breathed a sigh of relief. Xiao Hao was a humble man. He said he knew a thing or two, so he should be able to show it off. Thinking of the myriad wonders in this valley, he took the opportunity to ask, "I wonder if you have a master who has secluded yourself here and studied miscellaneous subjects?"
Xiao Hao said, "I am the only one in Wanhua Valley, and I have been accompanied by flying birds all year round. My master has two methods. One method can help the world and is called 'Li Jing Yi Dao'; the other method focuses on acupuncture and meridian cutting, and is called 'Hua Jian'——"
With a "pop", Lu Miaozi accidentally knocked over the teacup at hand.
He suddenly became extremely angry, slammed the table and stood up, holding the evil emperor's relic firmly in his hands: "I have fallen, you are actually a member of the demon sect!!"
The author has something to say: I suddenly want to write about the observation diary of Yuqi's father on the fake Ritian Le Wuyi... Phew.
