Sword Roaring in the Sky

Chapter 333 The True Scripture of Zhalong
Shi Si went downstairs, personally took Yang Diao'er's hand, and boarded the carriage together. Then she chased Sun Yanwan off the carriage before entering Jin Diao City.

Sun Yanwan walked wearily into Jin Diao City and first went to pay his respects to Monk Jin Chan. This senior monk of Shao Chan Temple, since becoming the abbot of Zhalong Temple, has been constantly recruiting monks from Da Lang and has restored the great temple of Northern Yan to its former glory, with monks everywhere.

He did not break his promise and rejected the theory of the Three Transformations of Xuanhuang. Now, the monks gathered at Zhalong Temple have discovered the wonders of this theory of the Three Transformations of Xuanhuang, and it has already evolved into the Eight Transformations of Xuanhuang, encompassing all the primitive deities of the grasslands.

Originally, in the tribes of the grasslands, the worship was handled by priests, shamans, and sorcerers. However, thanks to the hard work of the senior monks, these tribes have all turned to worship at Zhalong Temple.

Now, within Sun Yanwan's territory, the Xuanhuang faith has been unified, most of the other chaotic faiths have been annihilated, and people from various countries of diverse origins have gradually developed a sense of belonging.

During this period, the economic development of the twenty-four cities under Sun Yanwan's rule was quite good. Although he had not yet trained personnel to calculate GDP, the scale of the traveling caravans had increased at least threefold.

When Monk Jin Chan met Sun Yanwan, he was overjoyed and invited her to the abbot's meditation room for tea. He got straight to the point and said, "Although Zhalong Temple is a branch temple of Shaochan Temple and also believes in Buddha, it preaches the Three Transformations of Xuanhuang and has taken in monks from all over the country. It is no longer suitable to inherit the martial arts of Shaochan Temple. The urgent task is to create a new system of martial arts."

"I know that Benefactor Sun possesses martial arts techniques such as the Battle Buddha Manual and the Ice Silkworm Transformation. Would you be willing to contribute them as part of the Zhalong Temple's legacy?"

“Benefactor Sun! After this old monk, Zhalong Temple will surely become the Sun family temple, and your descendants will all be the masters of Zhalong Temple. You must not be stingy.”

Sun Yanwan pondered for a long time before saying, "That's not wrong."

Although he came from the Songyang Sect and was also a member of the Xuanhuang Dao lineage, and would inevitably take charge of the Taiyi Temple in the future, he gradually discovered that the Daoist school did have some shortcomings in its spread. Senior Sister Wei Yingxiao had not yet been able to promote the Xuanhuang Dao.

The monk Jin Chan made it clear that as long as Sun Yanwan has descendants, one of them will inevitably become the master of Zhalong Temple.

This Beiyan Temple will be the family temple of the Sun family for generations.

If Sun Yanwan were to offer up these two martial arts techniques, they would eventually fall into the hands of the Sun family's descendants.

After pondering for a long time, Sun Yanwan finally agreed and, upon returning to his residence, had someone deliver martial arts manuals such as "Battle Buddha Record", "Sun Golden Scripture", "Ice Silkworm Transformation", "Four Symbols Yuan Gong", "Hun Yuan Sword Scripture", "Ten Thousand Miles Flying Snow Sword Technique", "Suspended Mirror Listening to Flowers Subduing Demon Sword", "Hun Yuan Stance", "Rain of Pear Blossoms Spear", "Nameless Sword Scripture", "Demon-Slaying Sword", and "Blind Man's Divine Sword".

Sun Yanwan gifted the Hu family's martial arts and all the sword techniques he possessed to the monk Jinchan. This great monk also incorporated the four martial arts of Shaochan Temple into the book, compiling it into a book called "Zhalong True Scripture" as a secret text of Zhalong Temple.

After dealing with these matters, Sun Yanwan finally dared to see Shi Si and Yang Diao'er.

As the lord of Golden Sable City, Yang Diao'er hosted a banquet for Shi Si and Sun Yanwan at the city lord's mansion that evening.

Although Shi Si and Yang Diao'er were not exactly on good terms, they were polite to each other and had no conflicts.

At the banquet, Shi Si formally invited Yang Diao'er to Black Dragon City, but Yang Diao'er smiled and said, "Black Dragon City is my senior sister's place, so I won't go."

“My sister is a believer, and I must attend the worship service again every year during the four seasons and eight festivals.”

As long as Yang Diao'er enters the Sun family and gains Shi Si's favor, she will be satisfied and will not go to Black Dragon City. What's wrong with Golden Sable City?
Kaizhou is one of the five famous cities of Northern Yan. It is a summer resort for the royal court. The scenery and climate are very pleasant. The Northern Yan royal court has been managing it for more than a hundred years. The city walls are high and thick. Even if there is an army ten times larger, it would be difficult to conquer it in a hurry. It truly deserves the name of Phoenix City.

Sun Yanwan renamed it Golden Sable City and gave it to Yang Diao'er. She was extremely satisfied with this city that belonged to her.

Here, the little saintess of the Demonic Sect could command over 100,000 people to obey. If the order were to be sent out, more than 10 cities would follow it. Even her father, Yang Wuji, might not be so powerful in Luojia Mountain. Why bother going to Black Dragon City and having to watch Shi Si's face?
Shi Si smiled slightly and said, "Anyway, Diao'er is also a member of the Sun family. No matter where she is, it is all part of the Sun family compound, and she can come and go as she pleases." "I will build a Golden Sable Mansion in Black Dragon City, with the same layout as here in Golden Sable City. Whether Diao'er goes there or not, she will always have a place to stay."

Yang Diao'er was even more satisfied, smiling broadly as she repeatedly urged him to drink.

That night, Sun Yanwan spent the first half of the night with Shi Si, and the second half of the night she slipped out to accompany Yang Diao'er. In the morning, she strolled back again, truly keeping herself very busy.

In any case, he's passed this hurdle.

Shi Si did not stay in Jin Diao City for long, only a few days. She left behind the gifts she brought and departed with her carriage.

Sun Yanwan spent a day and a half with Yang Diao'er, then desperately used her lightness skill to travel at full speed, caught up with Shi Si's carriage, and accompanied her aunt back to Black Dragon City.

He could imagine that his days ahead would be very busy.

Such a lifestyle over the past few days is by no means an occasional occurrence; it is likely to become the norm in one's life.

Shi Si and the others returned to Black Dragon City, entered the city lord's mansion, dispersed everyone, and then threw herself into Sun Yanwan's arms, refusing to let go no matter what.

Sun Yanwan gently inhaled the fragrance of Shi Si's hair. He had grown taller than Shi Si now and suddenly felt a pang of pity. He whispered, "You've had such a hard time these past few days."

Shi Si didn't answer him. After a long while, she took Sun Yanwan's hand and said in a low voice, "I also went to Yanchi Lake some time ago."

"At the time, I thought that entering the Golden Light Cave would be a life-or-death situation, and I might never come out again."

"Does that mean Yang Diao'er has been through thick and thin with you, but I, Shi Si, can't be with you through thick and thin?"

"Even if we can't get out, it's fine if we stay in the cave together and become a pair of silly lovers."

"Back then I resented you, why didn't you come and call me?"

"Later I found out that you hadn't gone down at all, so I quietly came back."

Sun Yanwan was deeply moved and said in a low voice, "What's so great about the Golden Light Cave? How can it compare to my aunt? I was thinking at the time that I wasn't afraid of dying, but once I went in, I would never be able to come out again, and I would never be able to see you again."

"I can endure anything, but if I can never see my aunt again, I can't bear it anymore."

"After I agreed to your request, I have been obedient. Except for when I was fighting Ba Tianmo, I wrote a few lines of poetry on a whim, and I have never written any poetry since."

Shi Si chuckled softly. It is now rumored in the martial arts world that Shi Si is the most jealous woman in the world, forcing a man whose poetic talent is unparalleled in the Great Lang to be so distressed that he dares not write poetry and can only annotate the Six Classics.

Shi Si didn't consider herself that kind of person, but she was willing to bear the reputation of being jealous.
