Master of Martial Arts, please enjoy a drunken revelry in the martial world.

Maxipu.

The hometown of Di Yun and Qi Fang.

The two men took Qi Changfa's body back to their hometown and buried him on the mountain.

"Master, rest in peace. The one who harmed you is dead."

Di Yun knelt before the tombstone and kowtowed three times.

Qi Fang's tears welled up again at this moment. She hugged the tombstone, her face full of sorrow.

Although they were in pain at this moment, it was much, much better than their original fate.

Gu Qianbei stood in the shadows, quietly watching the two of them, a faint smile playing on her lips.

"Ding! Congratulations on obtaining the martial arts spirit of Qi Fang and Di Yun - childhood sweethearts."

Gu Qianbei raised an eyebrow, not expecting such an unexpected gain.

It was worth it for him to do this good deed.

"If I remember correctly, the Liancheng Sword Manual should be in a cave nearby."

Look for it.

Thinking this, Gu Qianbei turned and left.

Using the speed of Phoenix Dance Six Illusions, he quickly searched the entire mountain and found the cave.

The Liancheng Sword Manual was kept in that abandoned cave, with two pieces of butterfly window paper tucked inside.

"Found it."

Gu Qianbei smiled slightly and put away the Liancheng Sword Manual.

The Liancheng Sword Manual was originally kept and studied by Qi Changfa, but one day it was found by Qi Fang and Di Yun. The two of them didn't know what valuable item it was, so they just used it to decorate their windows and brought it to this cave.

Qi Changfa was quite startled when he discovered that the sword manual was missing.

"We've got the Liancheng Sword Manual; it's about time we went to find Ling Tuisi."

The prison of the Jiangling City government office.

Ding Dian, dressed in rags, sat cross-legged in his cell, looking out the window into the distance.

It was an attic, and there was a pot of chrysanthemums on the attic.

"Frostflower..."

Ding Dian murmured softly, his eyes filled with affection.

His body was covered in wounds, but his love for Ling Shuanghua never changed.

It's all just a cruel twist of fate.

The woman he loved turned out to be the daughter of a villain, who also coveted the Liancheng Sword Manual and ruthlessly attacked him.

Ding Dian never expected that Ling Tuisi, a dignified prefect, would be so despicable.

Many people don't understand what Ding Dian is insisting on. He thinks that as long as he hands over the Liancheng Sword Manual, he can live happily ever after with Ling Shuanghua and get out of his current predicament.

But he did not do that.

On the one hand, he did not trust Ling Tuisi's character; on the other hand, he was upholding the integrity of a scholar.

A promise is worth a thousand pieces of gold!

He promised Mei Niansheng that he would make good use of the Liancheng Treasure and would not hand it over to a villain.

That would be letting down Mei Niansheng's dying wish.

His seemingly pedantic behavior is precisely what scholars have lacked most over the past thousand years.

If every scholar possessed such integrity, the world would have long been a bright and clear place.

"who!"

Suddenly, Ding Dian was startled and looked outside the cell.

From the darkness, a young man in a blue robe slowly walked over.

"Your internal strength is impressive; you detected my presence so quickly. It seems you've mastered the Divine Illumination Scripture to a considerable degree."

Gu Qianbei said softly, his gaze sweeping over Ding Dian.

The once elegant gentleman now resembles a wild man, which is truly lamentable.

Upon hearing Gu Qianbei's words, Ding Dian was greatly alarmed.

With just one glance, the other party saw through his true abilities; their skill was astonishing.

However, he couldn't discern the opponent's strength at all.

This shows how strong the opponent is.

"Who are you? What are you doing here? Did Ling Tuis send you?"

Ding Dian asked three questions in a row, secretly preparing himself.

If the other party makes a move, he will launch a thunderous counterattack.

His vigilance naturally did not escape Gu Qianbei's notice, but he did not care.

How could someone who has been imprisoned for years possibly remain as gentle as before?

"My name is Gu Qianbei, and I am a winemaker. The reason I am here is because of a mission."

Of course, this has nothing to do with Ling Tuisi; he has no right to order me around.

"What mission?"

Ding Dian frowned.

"I am a kind-hearted person and cannot bear to see lovers suffer."

So, I'm going to help you.

May you and Ling Shuanghua, true lovers, be united in marriage.

"Hmph, trying to trick Liancheng out of the sword manual again?"

Ding Dian looked disdainful upon hearing this, clearly not believing Gu Qianbei.

It's not his fault.

In recent years, Ling Tuisi has devoted countless efforts to Ding Dian, hoping to learn the secret of the Liancheng Treasure from him.

Ling Tuisi even arranged several roommates for Ding Dian, hoping to extract information from Ding Dian by spending time together day and night.

Or perhaps they developed a brotherly bond and then threatened Ding Dian with his roommate's life.

Ding Dian saw through all of this, and in the end, nothing came of it.

Therefore, in Ding Dian's view, Gu Qianbei's statement was just another trick by Ling Tuisi.

"The Liancheng Sword Manual is indeed a tempting offer, but for me, this secret holds no meaning."

First, I don't lack money; second, I already knew this secret a long time ago.

Do you think I believe you?

Ding Dian sneered.

Gu Qianbei didn't explain, but instead took out the Liancheng Sword Manual from his pocket.

"This is……"

Ding Dian was startled when he saw the ancient sword manual and recognized it immediately.

That's the Liancheng Sword Manual.

When Mei Niansheng was besieged by Wan Zhenshan and his two companions, she threw out this sword manual to attract their attention, which gave her a brief respite and allowed her to escape by jumping into the river.

"Indeed, it is the Liancheng Sword Manual."

Before Mei Niansheng died, he told you the sequence of Tang Poetry Sword Technique, as well as a bunch of numbers that have no meaning, right?

You must be wondering what this secret is.

Today I will tell you this secret for free.

By comparing the numbers with the order of Tang Dynasty swordplay, you can deduce a single character.

For example, the first poem in the Tang Poetry Swordplay is Du Fu's "Spring Returns," which contains the number four. Therefore, the corresponding character is the fourth character of the poem, which is "Jiang" (江).

Following this logic, the Tang Poetry Sword Technique can be reduced to a single sentence.

Located southwest of Lingcheng, the main hall of Tianning Temple houses a Buddha statue. People devoutly worship it, praying for blessings from the Buddha and rebirth in the Pure Land.

In other words, the treasure is located at Cheonnyeongsa Temple in Gangneung.

After Gu Qianbei finished speaking, Ding Dian was stunned and stood there dumbfounded.

His mind raced, quickly matching the sequence of Tang poetry sword techniques he knew with the numbers, and soon he verified that Gu Qianbei was right.

The secret of the treasure lies in Tianning Temple.

Gu Qianbei was speechless at Ding Dian's shocked expression.

I don't understand what's so surprising about such an easy riddle.

If he had the order and numbers of these Tang poems, he would have deduced the answer in less than three minutes.

Even elementary school math isn't this simple.

Given the order of the Tang poems and the numbers, shouldn't the first reaction be to substitute the numbers into the poems to select the correct characters?

Finding the answer from two given conditions is like solving an advanced math problem; it's simply incomprehensible.

In Gu Qianbei's view, the so-called secret of Liancheng Jue was utterly pointless. Anyone who could not deduce the answer after being told the order and numbers of the Tang poems was truly a genius.
