Di Fan did not answer the junior sister's question until the next day.
Xiao Longnu did not ask any further questions. In fact, she had probably already gotten the answer from Di Fan's inner thoughts last night... The rest, the eldest brother just needed to figure it out by himself.
The two mounted their horses and continued to gallop towards Tianshan Mountain... After arriving near Lingjiu Mountain, which was the mountain range in Di Fan's memory, Di Fan took the initiative to release the horses, indicating that their next task was to search for the existence of Lingjiu Palace in this mountain range.
[I hope the disappearance of Vulture Peak isn't due to crustal shifts...]
"How could you, Xu Zhu, who is not a real monk and has a wife and children, bring disaster to the strongest sect?"
[You must know that in this world, besides Huang Shang, who created the Nine Yin Manual, Bodhidharma, who founded Shaolin martial arts, the future Zhang Sanfeng, and the unrivaled sword demon Dugu Qiubai, your Xiaoyao Sect is the most powerful.]
[Not to mention that the Tianshan Child-Grandma also left you the Nine Heavens and Ten Divisions, a foundation as large as the entire Lingjiu Palace... and you still lost all of this, you really are a spendthrift!]
While Di Fan was complaining, he and Xiao Longnu were looking for traces of Lingjiu Palace... Xiao Longnu was bored and simply asked Di Fan.
"Big Brother, what kind of martial arts are you looking for? What are the origins of these martial arts? Can you tell me?"
"Um... Junior Sister, are you interested too?"
Di Fan looked at Xiao Long Nu curiously: [Tsk tsk tsk, I didn't expect that, Xiao Long Nu, you are also a gossipmonger?]
[Sure enough, besides beauty, a woman's lifelong pursuit is gossip. Mr. Lu Xun was right!]
"Yes, I don't know how long it will take. Why don't you talk to me, Big Brother?"
Xiaolongnu was too lazy to refute. She was curious, but it was not a big deal.
Moreover, since she has decided to help her eldest brother complete the mission and also wants to become a female emperor, Xiaolongnu naturally wants to know about the famous people and events in modern history so that she can learn more secrets and complete the unification mission more easily, right?
After all, her eldest brother had taught her: A man can use copper as a mirror to adjust his clothes and appearance; he can use history as a mirror to understand the rise and fall of things; he can use people as a mirror to understand gains and losses.
Xiaoyao Sect, the unique sect in the eldest senior brother's heart, is the key point she wants to understand.
"Okay, Junior Sister, since you want to know, I'll tell you."
Di Fan didn't think anything was wrong, so he enthusiastically told the story of Tianlong Babu...
"That day, it should have been during the Northern Song Dynasty... There is a place in Dali called Wuliang Mountain..."
A magnificent historical scene slowly unfolded before Xiaolongnu...
Over the next month, she learned that the Beggars' Sect was even more powerful than it was now, and that there was a truly peerless hero, Xiao Feng! She also learned that the Shaolin Temple was far more powerful than she had imagined, and even now, there was no telling how many masters were lurking within...
Knowing that Lingjiu Palace actually possesses three innate masters, each of whom is a top master comparable to Wang Chongyang, it is no wonder that the eldest brother has such a high opinion of Lingjiu Palace!
But it was precisely because of this that an organization that had the Nine Heavens and Ten Divisions, as well as the Seventy-Two Cave Masters, which had formed a powerful force in the martial arts world and could even control one or two court officials, was defeated by Xu Zhu. Xiaolongnu had to admire Xu Zhu's ability to squander money.
I think, if the Child-Fairy of Tianshan had known that Xu Zhu was such a spendthrift and was destroying all the empire she had built, she would never have given the throne to Xu Zhu even if she wanted to pass it on to her four servants, Mei, Lan, Zhu and Ju, right?
"Alas, what a pity for Vulture Peak."
Arriving at a main peak, Xiao Longnu looked up at the top and sighed, "With Xu Zhu's status, if the martial arts inventory of Lingjiu Mountain could be passed down to this day, perhaps we could even recapture a major force and use it for our own benefit."
"Forehead……"
Di Fan didn't know how to answer... Ever since that night a month ago, Xiaolongnu had become less and less willing to hide her ambitions, and was acting unscrupulously in front of him.
[Junior Sister... do you really want to be the Empress? ]
[But, I really don’t want to cultivate a female emperor...]
[Thinking back to those novels from my past life: My Empress Master, My Empress Wife, My Empress, etc.… Others couldn't even hide, but I was forcibly cultivating a Empress Junior Sister for myself? Did I take the wrong medicine?]
[But, Junior Sister finally had such a wish. In ancient times, the status of women was so strict. Could I really watch Junior Sister marry someone else, become his wife and have children, and end up living a mediocre life, or even a miserable life like the original history?]
[Compared to that, perhaps being an empress or something like that wouldn't be bad either?]
Di Fan's mind was filled with wild thoughts because of Xiao Longnu's words... Xiao Longnu listened to the eldest brother's words and was very satisfied in her heart... Regardless of other meanings, or novel scripts, at least Di Fan was really thinking about her words, instead of treating them as childish nonsense.
Being able to do this is extremely rare in this era!
When she thought of this, especially the fact that her senior brother's teaching to her was not any different just because she was a girl, which was something even her master Lin Chaoying couldn't do, Xiaolongnu became more and more satisfied with her senior brother who raised her.
He also spoke much more gently.
"Big Brother, it's getting late. We should go up the mountain."
“Oh, yes, yes, up the mountain!”
Di Fan looked at the top of the mountain in front of him, nodded heavily, and put his arm around Xiaolongnu to indicate that he was ready.
Afterwards, the two of them stepped on the Cloud and Smoke Step (the Tomb School's light Kung Fu), stepping on the treetops, leaves, and fallen snow on the trees. In less than half an hour, they stood at the top of the mountain.
Then, both of them realized something was wrong... First, the mountain was really too high, half of it was above the clouds; second, there was an iron chain on the cliff where they were connected to the opposite cliff... and this scene was very similar to what Di Fan and Xiao Longnu had said, the only passage up the mountain to Lingjiu Palace!
"Is the Lingjiu Palace across the way?"
Di Fan stroked his beard. Is the world of Jin Yong's novels really all connected?
"That should be right,"
Xiao Longnu ignored and temporarily blocked out Di Fan's wandering thoughts. She walked to the iron chain and stepped hard...
The iron chain was shaking violently, but there was no sign of collapse. It looked very strong.
"The iron chain is still usable, Big Brother, let's go together."
After saying this, Xiao Longnu once again took Di Fan's arm, and the two of them stepped onto the iron chain together. With the little leverage from their feet, they fluttered like butterflies, effortlessly drifting towards the other side...
