Chapter 31 Langhuan Blessed Land
Zhao Ti slid down the cliff. The rope was made of whale tendons, which was very tough and strong. It could be used as a winch for a crossbow. Even if two or three more people came, it would not necessarily be torn apart.

The short sword, however, could cut through iron like mud, and inserted into the mountain wall could stabilize the body. He tied the tendon rope again halfway, and after about half an hour, he arrived at a large crack in the cliff.

Zhao Ti looked at the crack carefully and found that he could indeed climb down, so he slapped the mountain wall hard, and with a slight swing of his body, he fell into the crack.

Then, after resting for a while, he slowly went down to the bottom of the valley using his hands and legs.

The valley was quite deep, and even the crack was some distance away from the bottom of the valley. However, it became more and more inclined as one went down, and it was no longer a steep cliff. In the end, it became a hillside and was no longer dangerous. It didn't take long before they entered the valley.

At this moment, one can hear the roar of the waterfall diagonally opposite, which is much louder than the one above. There is a large lake that looks like a blue mirror in the night, with camellia flowers growing all around it, swaying gracefully, creating an otherworldly scene.

Zhao Ti saw a stone wall as smooth as jade as he went against the waterfall. He thought that this must be the Wuliang Jade Disk. Now that he had seen this object, the entrance to the Langhuan Blessed Land would be easy to find.

Then he turned back to look for the sour fruit bushes he remembered. Soon he saw a large area of them. After pushing them aside, he found a stone wall as white as jade and similar to the one on the other side of the waterfall.

Zhao Ti nodded. This should be the place where Wuyazi and Li Qiushui practiced martial arts in the past. The moon cast their shadows on this stone wall, and then reflected them on the large stone wall at the waterfall. When the people of Wuliang Sword saw it, they thought it was the shadow of a jade fairy.

At this moment, the moonlight was just rising. Zhao Ti stared at the stone wall below and saw a faint sword shadow appearing on it. It was the reflection of the moonlight shining on a hole in the western cliff.

He followed the direction of the sword's shadow and saw a large rock. He walked closer and pushed it. The rock was slippery with moss and he estimated that it weighed at least one or two thousand pounds.

Zhao Ti thought for a moment and pulled out all the vines around it. He then bent down to clear the mud and sand underneath and pushed again. The rock slowly turned like a door. When it turned halfway, a cave more than three feet high appeared behind the rock.

He suppressed his emotions, took out a tinder and a candle, lit them, and walked in.

After walking about ten steps away, he saw a metal door with large door nails. He knew that it must be unlocked, so he pushed hard and opened the door.

I saw a very bright spot inside. When I got closer, I saw crystals inlaid on the wall. There were fish and shrimps swimming by. It turned out to be at the bottom of the lake, drawing the light in from the water.

Zhao Ti continued to observe. There were stone tables and stone benches in the room, with some combs, hairpins and other items on the table. He also saw many bronze mirrors inlaid on the east and west sides of the walls, more than thirty in total. Using the reflection to search, he found a crack in the southwest corner of the wall.

I walked over and pushed it open with force. It was indeed a door with stone steps leading down. After walking down, I saw another door. When I opened it again, my eyes suddenly lit up.

All he saw was a beautiful woman in palace dress, holding a sword, pointing the tip of the sword at him.

Zhao Ti glanced at the other person and suddenly smiled.

The beauty is a statue carved from white jade, but she is the size of a human, with a pair of bright eyes, a lively look, and skin as white as cream.

He saw that the girl was about eighteen or nineteen years old, with a little childishness in her eyebrows and eyes, but she was also indescribably charming and amiable, with a beauty that was rare in the world.

And a pair of eyes carved from black gemstones, the more you look at them the deeper they become, with a faint glow flowing in them, and their gaze is always on him, no matter where his eyes turn, it seems to follow them, as if with infinite joy, but also with resentment and sorrow, as if with some hope or expectation.

Zhao Ti's heart skipped a beat, then he raised the corner of his mouth and said to himself: "Should I call you Li Qiu Shui, or Li Xiaomei, or Li Qiu Shui before she was twenty years old?" The gemstone light in the jade statue's eyes changed, as if it understood his words, and there was a feeling of melancholy.

He stretched out his hand and gently touched the jade statue's cheek, then thought for a moment and began to look around.

There are a lot of things carved on the surrounding walls, mostly words from Zhuangzi's Nanhua Sutra, as well as the words written by Wuyazi for his sister Qiushui, "There is no sun or moon in the cave, which is the greatest happiness on earth."

Then he looked at the jade statue again, and saw two cushions, large and small, in front of the statue. The small one was for people to bow down to, and the big one was for people to kneel down. There seemed to be words embroidered on the inside of the embroidered shoes below the jade statue. The one on the right read "Kneel down a thousand times and serve me", and the one on the left read "Follow my orders and never regret it, even if you die."

Zhao Ti blinked, stretched out his hand and tore open the small cushion, revealing the cattail, and then something came out. He took out a silk bag. The sentences written on the white silk were the same as what he remembered, nothing more than practicing martial arts in Langhuan Blessed Land and killing all the disciples of Xiaoyao Sect.

He opened it and saw a scroll of silk, which stretched out slightly, revealing the four words "Beiming Divine Art".

Zhao Ti remembered that Lingbo Weibu was at the end of the scroll, so he flipped back and passed the paintings of women who looked like the jade statue, lying down or lying down, posing coquettishly, with affectionate eyes, and practicing with slight anger and slight complaints, and reached the end of the scroll.

Just look at the inscription "Lingbo Weibu" on it, followed by countless footprints drawn with words such as "Guimei" and "Wuwang" marked on it.

These were all the directions in the Book of Changes, which he had studied before. The more he looked at them, the more fascinated he became. He didn't know how much time had passed or whether it was light or dark outside. After letting out a long breath, he stood up.

He thought that after his family's competition in Jianhu Palace, there might be some deviations in the matter of Wuliang Sword, and he didn't know whether Duan Yu would be able to come here.

If I can still get here, I remember that I spent two or three days wandering outside before I found the cave. However, I have now opened the big stone at the entrance of the cave, so if I really come here, I will probably be able to enter quickly.

Thinking of this, Zhao Ti put the silk scroll into his arms and walked around again. There was a stone bed and cradle in the moon-shaped door on the left, which should have been used by Li Qingluo when she was a child. There was a zither with broken strings hanging on the wall, which should have been torn by Li Qiu Shui.

Seeing the stone table to the left of the bed was a picture of a nineteen-line chessboard covered with black and white chess pieces, he thought to himself, could this be the Zhenlong chess game?
After Zhao Ti left Tokyo, he did not choose to go to Leigushan to find Wuyazi to solve the chess game and receive seventy years of internal strength. This was indeed a decision he made after careful consideration.

First of all, Wuyazi did not pass on any skills, but only passed on the internal force. He did not pass on the training methods of Lingbo Weibu and Beiming Shengong. Xu Zhu only had a strong Beiming internal force, but did not know how to use Lingbo Weibu and Beiming Shengong.

Secondly, and most importantly, he had no ability to protect himself in front of Wuyazi, Su Xinghe and others. Now that he was in Dali, even if he met the four evil men, he would still have a glimmer of hope. Not to mention the royal family of Dali, who would not dare to move if their identities were revealed. But as for Leigushan, it was of course good, but if he really went there, it would be a one in a million chance that something unexpected would happen, and there would be no room for maneuver, so he had to be prepared.

Zhao Ti then walked forward and came to a moon cave gate. On the wall next to it were engraved the words "Langhuan Blessed Land". He walked in and saw that it was very spacious, with rows of wooden bookshelves. However, there was not a single book on the shelves, only labels with names such as Kunlun School, Qingcheng School, Penglai School, etc.

Then he saw the words "regrettable" that Shaolin lacked the Yi Jin Jing, Dali lacked the Yi Yang Finger and Six Meridians Divine Sword, the Beggars' Sect lacked the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms, etc.

He shook his head and wanted to go out. The exit of the secret passage leading to the outside world in the valley was on the side of the jade statue, so he had to go back there if he wanted to leave.

But just as he walked a few steps away, he suddenly heard faint footsteps outside...
