Zhu Tian: A journey of spiritual practice starting from Joy of Life

Chapter 35 Shura Palace
"It's really lively!"

Leng Feibai enjoyed the snack in his hand and carefully looked at the beautiful scenery around him. Soon he arrived in front of a teahouse.

From time to time, cheers or thunderous applause could be heard in the teahouse.

"This"

Leng Feibai looked at the teahouse not far away and said, "A place like a teahouse can cause such a commotion, either by singing or telling stories. It's a good time to join in the fun!"

After saying that, Leng Feibai walked straight into the teahouse.

In the middle of the teahouse, an old man with a white beard and wearing a gray cloth robe was holding a wake-up stick and talking incessantly.

"This Chen Pingping is a demon star descended to earth, born with a strange appearance..."

Listening to the old man's storytelling, Leng Feibai almost stumbled and fell to the ground.

My goodness, isn’t this old man talking about the storytelling that Fan Sizhe listened to in the first season? How did he get here?

Meanwhile, the audience in the teahouse also expressed their dissatisfaction. One scholar couldn't help but say, "Mr. Wang, could you tell us something new? You've told this story about Chen Pingping's lone journey across thousands of miles to capture Sean over eighty times. We're already tired of it!"

"hehe"

The storyteller, an old man named Wang, smiled and said, "Okay, okay, I'll change the story for you. Let's talk about the legend of our Lanzhou four hundred years ago. What do you think of the Shura Heavenly Palace?"

When Leng Feibai heard the words "Xura Palace", he suddenly remembered something and thought to himself, "If I remember correctly, Mo Chou and Liu Jue also mentioned the words "Xura Palace" during their competition this afternoon. It seems that Lanzhou really has some secrets."

Leng Feibai immediately became interested. He found an empty seat in the teahouse and sat down. He ordered a pot of tea, cut fruits and roasted meat jerky, and listened silently!
"Four hundred years ago, before Daqing was founded, two of our Lanzhou's greatest warriors, the brothers An Zhentian and An Jianglong, emerged from nowhere. In the northern border of Lanzhou, now the territory of Gun King Fu Yu, they overcame numerous hardships and established the powerful Shura Palace..."

Hearing the old man's words, Leng Feibai pricked up his ears and listened carefully.

The old man was seen talking excitedly, gesticulating from time to time, and acting out various scenes one by one.

Everyone seemed to really see a pair of brothers with superb martial arts skills, who had gone through hardships and established their own underworld power.

"After the rise of the Shura Heavenly Palace in Xiliang Road, the eight tribes under its command were filled with talented people. The eight tribes are the Celestials, Dragons, Yakshas, ​​Gandharvas, Asuras, Garudas, Kinnaras, and Mahoragas!"

Leng Feibai nearly spit out his tea when he heard this, thinking to himself, "The Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils are already here, but what about the An brothers? Could it be that I, like that Bao Long guy, have also traveled through time? Or are the An brothers the Heavenly Veined Ones sent by the temple? But the drama never mentions the Heavenly Veined Ones at all."

Thinking of this, Leng Feibai continued listening.

Then Elder Wang continued, "But because of this, the An brothers also developed ambitions to rule the Central Plains and dominate the martial arts world. However, they were met with resistance from the Central Plains heroes. The Central Plains heroes formed the Demon Slayer Alliance, led by the leaders of the three major sects, and marched towards Xiliang Road, intending to kill all of the Shura Palace and restore peace to the world. Those three people were: Master Xuanguang of the Shengyan Sect; Zhang Hong of the Zhenwu Sect; and Mengchong of the Cangjiang Village."

Leng Feibai couldn't help but raise his eyebrows after hearing this. He felt that the martial arts world four hundred years ago was full of masters.

The rest of the plot is rather clichéd, just like what is written in ordinary storybooks.

The Demon-Slaying Alliance inflicted heavy damage on the Shura Palace at the cost of losing 90% of its troops.

But what was unexpected was the last battle. The battlefield was covered by fog, and then the sky was filled with shining light. Wherever it passed, all the soldiers from both sides were killed or wounded.

After the smoke cleared, the Shura Palace disappeared, the Central Plains martial arts world was devastated, and martial arts declined for many years.

It was not until the people in the temple were reborn that martial arts flourished again.

After listening to the old man's book, Leng Feibai yawned, paid for the tea and left the teahouse.

"What do you think of this old man's book?"

Leng Feibai listened to the voice ringing in his ears and blurted out, "It's the same as the storybooks sold at roadside stalls, there's no difference."

As soon as he finished speaking, Leng Feibai's pupils shrank and he turned his head to look over.

Haitang Duoduo took a cucumber and took a bite. "Why is it you?"

Leng Feibai looked around, then pulled someone into an alley and said, "Miss Songzhi, what are you looking for me for again?"

Haitang Duoduo curled her lips and said, "I'm here to make a deal with you. How much do you know about Shura Palace?"

"Just what the old man said!"

After Leng Feibai finished speaking, he quickly realized something and asked in a low voice, "Could it be that Miss Songzhi came to Lanzhou just for the Shura Palace?"

"That's it!"

Haitang Duoduo took another bite of the cucumber and said, "How about it, are you interested in going with me to Fu Yu's territory to look for him?"

Leng Feibai couldn't help but be moved after hearing this, and whispered, "Okay, but Miss Songzhi needs to do me a favor first?"

Haitang Duoduo was stunned for a moment, then asked, "What's the matter?"

"Accompany me to visit the stronghold of the three bandit leaders!"

Leng Feibai smiled and said, "Their leaders are dead, and leaving the remnants is not a good thing. So, I want you to accompany me to deal with those guys!"

"You really are..."

Haitang Duoduo said unhappily, "Okay, I'll go with you to take a look. But first, let me make it clear that you have to give me half of the bandits' property!"

"If you can take it, it's up to you!"

Leng Feibai finished speaking, yawned again, and said, "Then I'll meet you at the city gate tomorrow morning at 9:00 PM!"

Haitang Duoduo nodded, turned and left the alley.

Leng Feibai also returned to the inn and had a good sleep.

On the morning of the second day, Leng Feibai spent a lot of money to buy some beef and mutton jerky and some dry food in the city, and then met Haitang Duoduo who was waiting outside the city gate.

Haitang Duoduo was also leading two horses. After all, no one was Leng Feibai, who liked to run wildly with his body movements.

The two of them did this, one riding a horse and the other running at full speed using lightness skills. It took them a whole day to go around Mo Chou and Liu Jue's strongholds one by one.

There was nothing valuable in the two men's stronghold, but there were quite a few cattle, sheep and horses.

Because they could not take the livestock with them, the two men gave most of the livestock to the people who were captured and taken to the mountain stronghold.

By the time the two men had cleared out the remaining bandits in the two mountain strongholds, it was already sunset.

In desperation, the two decided to rest for one night in Liu Jue's mountain stronghold.

In the kitchen, Haitang Duoduo looked at Leng Feibai who was chopping vegetables very skillfully and said, "Not bad, Master Leng, the young master of the Fan family is actually good at cooking."

"The most important thing you need to learn in your life is cooking!"

Leng Feibai said calmly, "Otherwise, if you get into trouble alone, you might starve to death!"

　The heroine has appeared. The first round of recommendations for this book will start tomorrow. I hope you will all follow along and read it. Thank you, Ajian.
