Chapter 440 Wudang Mountain

"The second grade is a minor grandmaster, and the first grade is a great grandmaster. But even if they are both first grade great masters, there is still a big difference."

Zheng Zha gave Xu Fengnian a detailed explanation of the realm of martial arts, "According to the nature of the school of martial arts practiced, after reaching the first level of Grand Master, the titles are also different."

"Buddhists are good at physical training. After reaching the first level, you can develop a body that is indestructible. Therefore, if a Buddha reaches the first level, he will be in the Vajra state."

"Taoists are good at refining qi. After entering the first level, they will understand some various mysterious techniques. Therefore, reaching the first level of Taoism is called the Zhixuan realm."

"Confucianism is good at cultivating gods, pays attention to the connection between heaven and man, and borrows the laws of heaven and earth. Often, a move is accompanied by visions of heaven and earth. Therefore, after reaching the first level of Confucianism, it is called the realm of celestial phenomena."

"Pure martial artists who have no faith usually practice the Vajra, Zhixuan, and Celestial Sciences in sequence, pursuing all-round strength, and are not biased like the three religions."

"So for ordinary martial artists, Vajra, Zhixuan, and Celestial Phenomenon are three stages of the first grade, similar to the distinction between the early stage, the middle stage, and the late stage."

"It is also because of this that if an ordinary martial artist can practice to the Celestial Realm, his combat power is often much stronger than that of a monk from the three religions who only cultivates a single realm."

When Xu Fengnian heard this, he asked Zheng Zha with great interest: "What about you? Which situation do you belong to?"

Zheng Zha smiled and said: "I am neither Confucianism, Taoism, nor Buddhism. I am just an ordinary martial artist who has devoted himself to studying the art of swordsmanship. I have come here by refining my body, my energy, and my spirit."

Xu Fengnian said: "So monks from the three religions are usually not your opponents?"

Zheng Zha said: "I can only say that monks from the three religions of the same realm are usually not my opponents."

Xu Fengnian asked: "What will be the state after the elephant?"

Zheng Zha said: "The realm after the celestial phenomena is called the land immortal. When you reach this stage of cultivation, what you pursue is to break the void, open the gate of heaven and ascend."

"As soon as you enter the heavenly gate, you become an immortal. Those who pass through the heavenly gate but do not enter are the so-called heavenly beings on land. Although the heavenly beings are not immortals, they have the power of immortals."

Hearing this, Xu Fengnian couldn't help but became speechless and said somewhat speechlessly: "So the Beiming Divine Art is in the hands of such a peerless powerhouse?"

Zheng Zha said with a smile: "Yes, if you want this skill, it is definitely unreliable to grab it, but you can try to ask for it."

Xu Fengnian waved his hand and said: "Put this aside for now. Apart from the Beiming Divine Technique, what other quick techniques are there? Just name the one I am most likely to get."

Zheng Zha pondered for a while and said: "According to the conditions you proposed, the only one is Wudang Dahuang Ting."

Xu Fengnian's eyes lit up again. If it was the Wudang Sect, then he could indeed handle it easily.

"What is the situation in Wudang Dahuang Court?"

Zheng Zha explained: "Da Huang Ting is a unique internal skill practiced by Wudang Master. I usually jokingly call this skill the 'Wedding Clothes Magic Skill' because it is specially designed to make wedding clothes for others."

"The biggest feature of this skill is that you can pass on all the skills you have gained through decades of hard work to others."

Xu Fengnian frowned slightly and said hesitantly: "You mean to force Wang Zhonglou to pass on his skills to me?"

Zheng Zha sighed and said, "I know it's unkind, but if you want the best of both worlds, I can only propose these solutions."

"As for whether you want to do this or not, that's your business. Anyway, as a friend, I can protect you and help you kill people, but I can never replace your own role."

After hearing Zheng Zha's words, Xu Fengnian was speechless for a long time, and finally patted him on the shoulder silently, turned around and left with a heavy heart.

This choice was too important for Xu Fengnian. Even he couldn't make up his mind for a moment, so the matter was temporarily suppressed.

But his entanglement touches the hearts of many people, such as Lao Huang.

Two days later, Lao Huang left the palace and headed for the East China Sea. The reason was that he had an unfinished fight and needed to settle it.

Xu Fengnian had no reason to stop him and had to send him away.

When Lao Huang left, he took nothing with him, only his sword case and the old horse he had raised for many years.

…

The time soon came to the end of the year, with heavy snow falling, Xu Fengnian turned 20 and officially became the crown prince.

Zheng Zha and Luo Li were invited to attend Xu Fengnian's coronation ceremony. After the ceremony, the two went down the mountain with Sweet Potato Blue Bird and others first, while Xu Xiao and Xu Fengnian and his son went to the top of Qingliang Mountain.

Not long after, Xu Fengnian returned to the courtyard with an ugly face, called Zheng Zha and headed to Wudang.

Zheng Zha hurriedly asked what happened, but it turned out that Xu Xiao secretly sent Xu Longxiang to Wudang, intending to let Wang Zhonglou destroy Xu Longxiang's bones.

Xu Xiao's reason was that Xu Fengnian did not want to scare the generals who supported Xu Longxiang by killing Ning Emei, but he also did not want to send Xu Longxiang away.

Then there is only the last way left, which is to destroy Xu Longxiang's bones, abolish his natural supernatural power, and make him an ordinary person with no support value.

How could Xu Fengnian agree to such a method? He valued his family far more than Xu Ziwangqi of Beiliang.

The current situation is slightly different from the original drama. Chu Kuangnu, the old boss at the bottom of the lake, has not been released, but Xu Fengnian has a stronger Zheng Zha beside him, so he is full of confidence.

Zheng Zha asked Luo Li to stay in the palace while he accompanied Xu Fengnian to Wudang Mountain.

Due to Xu Xiao's arrangement, the city gate was closed by Fengzi Camp. After a lot of trouble, the two of them invited Ning Emei, the leader of Fengzi Camp, from the prison and were able to leave Lingzhou City.

…

The world in the snow is an imaginary world. Although some place names are the same as those in the real world, their corresponding geographical locations are completely different.

The Wudang Mountains in this world are not located on the border of Jingxiang in the southwest, but in Beiliang in the northwest, only a hundred miles away from Lingzhou City.

There are two pools, four pools, nine wells, twenty-four deep streams, thirty-six rocks, and eighty-one peaks on the mountain. The Taizhen Palace on Yuzhu Peak is the center, and the eighty-one peaks surround this peak and this palace.

The head is lowered and tilted, forming the famous Eighty-one Peak facing the top.

For thousands of years, countless seekers of immortality have retreated to Wudang, sitting on the cliff of oblivion, or hiding in immortal coffins, listening to jade and gold and Buddhist music, watching mist and clouds surging over green mountains and beautiful water, leaving behind countless legends.

Wudang was a Taoist holy land in the previous dynasty, which stabilized Longhu Mountain. After the establishment of the Liyang Dynasty, Longhu Mountain was promoted and Wudang was suppressed. This made Longhu Mountain the ancestral home of Taoism.

Wudang has been silent for hundreds of years, but no one dares to underestimate the thousand-year heritage of this mountain. Although the current headmaster Wang Zhonglou does not occupy a position among the top ten masters, it is said that an immortal pointed the way and broke through the entire mountain.

The raging Canglang River.

Whether he spreads lies or exaggerates, after all, he is an old Taoist god with high morals and respect.

Xu Fengnian and Zheng Zha worked hard all the way, and reached Wudang Mountain in less than two hours.

One of them is the most dandy in the world, and the other is a lawless reincarnation, so naturally they will not have any scruples.

There was no such thing as walking up the mountain. The two of them rode straight towards the "Xuanwu Dangxing" archway at the gate of Wudang Mountain, and only reined in the reins after passing through the gate.

In fact, according to Xu Fengnian's intention, he planned to ride his horse directly to the main hall.

But as soon as the two of them entered the mountain gate archway, they saw a Taoist wearing black and white robes, holding a fly whisk, and with white hair and beard, standing in front of the path inside the mountain gate, looking at the two people with a smile.

As the saying goes, don't hit someone with a smiling face. These two trampled on the face of the Wudang sect, and the headmaster of Wudang still came to the mountain gate in person and greeted them with a smile.

No matter how bastard Xu Fengnian is, he can't even tell the difference between good and evil.

The old Taoist was none other than Wang Chonglou, the contemporary Wudang leader, and behind him, a young Taoist who looked to be in his thirties and quite handsome, had just tied a green bull to a pillar.

He looked at Xu Fengnian shrinkingly, with a gloomy look on his face and a bit of timidity.

When Xu Fengnian and Zheng Zha dismounted, Wang Chonglou took the initiative to take two steps forward and said, "Wang Chonglou has met the crown prince."

Xu Fengnian didn't talk nonsense and asked directly: "Where is Huang Man'er?"

Wang Chonglou pointed to the mountain, and Xu Fengnian asked again: "Who left him behind?"

Wang Chonglou still didn't speak, and pointed at the young Taoist behind him with a smile.

Xu Fengnian's face darkened, and without saying a word, he walked straight towards the young Taoist.

"Bang"

He raised his leg and kicked the young Taoist to the ground. Then he rushed forward, held down the young Taoist and beat him severely.

"Ah... don't slap me in the face... Oops..."

Wang Chonglou simply turned a blind eye to this scene. Instead, he happily clasped his fists at Zheng Zha and said, "Master Zheng, you have traveled all the way. Thank you for your hard work."

Zheng Zha was not too surprised that Wang Chonglou knew about him.

It has been two months since he entered the Northern Liang Prince's Mansion, and he has a little bit of power, so he already knows the basics.

Wang Zhonglou had been in contact with Xu Xiao secretly, so he naturally knew nothing about Zheng Zha, the most important guest around Xu Fengnian.

Zheng Zha cupped his fists and returned the salute, pretending not to know and asked: "Master Wang is so polite, who is this?"

The smile on Wang Chonglou's face did not change, and he said without looking back: "This is our master's close disciple, a poor junior brother, Hong Xixiang."

Zheng Zha suddenly said: "Oh, it turns out this is Hong Xixiang, and he really deserves to be beaten."

Wang Zhonglou's cheeks couldn't help but twitch, and he felt quite helpless. It seemed that his junior brother was destined to be devoured by Beiliang Prince's Palace in his life.

This guy fell in love with Xu Fengnian's eldest sister, Xu Zhihu, but because of his vow that "you can't leave the mountain until you become the best in the world," he chose to let Xu Zhihu down, so that Xu Zhihu sadly married far away from Jiangnan.

Xu Zhihu was in a very difficult situation in Jiangnan. Because of this incident, Xu Fengnian hated Hong Xixiang to death. Every time he saw him, he couldn't help itching his fists.

This time it involves Xu Longxiang, so why not take the opportunity to deal with him and vent his anger?

Beating people is also a physical job. Xu Fengnian has never practiced martial arts, so beating others may not cause much harm, but he will be very tired.

He used the last bit of his strength to grab Hong Xixiang's lapel and lift him up. He panted and asked, "Hong Xixiang, do you still think you owe my Xu family not enough?"

Hong Xixiang said with aggrieved face: "That's what your father meant. What can I do?"

Xu Fengnian took a deep breath, snorted coldly, threw him to the ground, and said coldly: "Take me to see him."

Hong Xixiang struggled to get up, clutched his waist and walked to Wang Zhonglou's side, grinning and saying: "Brother, why don't you take them up the mountain."

Wang Zhonglou said calmly: "You go too."

Glancing at Xu Fengnian secretly, Hong Xixiang shrank his neck and said calmly: "I... I want to herd the cows for a while longer."

Wang Chonglou shook the duster in his hand and said sideways: "If you don't hurry up for a while, Your Majesty, Mr. Zheng, please."

Xu Fengnian tilted his head towards Zheng Zha and took long strides to lead the way. Wang Zhonglou and Zheng Zha followed closely behind him. Hong Xixiang followed helplessly with a sad face.

There is a bamboo forest halfway up the mountain. There is a small courtyard surrounded by fences in the bamboo forest. There is a monastery in the small courtyard, and the environment is very quiet.

Xu Longxiang, who had already put on a Taoist robe, saw Xu Fengnian and Zheng Zha coming up the mountain at a glance. He was overjoyed and shouted "Brother" in his mouth, and ran towards the two of them.

"Brother, I just missed you and you came." Xu Longxiang grabbed Xu Fengnian's arm and said loudly and happily.

Xu Fengnian held Xu Longxiang's arms, looked up and down nervously, and asked: "Are you okay?"

Xu Longxiang chuckled and nodded: "Okay."

Xu Fengnian asked: "Is your strength still there?"

Xu Longxiang let go of Xu Fengnian, opened his stance, and punched the empty space beside him.

"Buzz"

There was a buzz in the air, and the strong wind of the fist pushed the air, forming a strong wind that blew the bamboo forest several feet away.

Seeing this scene, Xu Fengnian finally felt relieved. He immediately grabbed Xu Longxiang's arm and said, "Let's go home with me."

This pull did not pull. Xu Longxiang was born in the Vajra realm and possesses innate divine power. If he didn't want to move, how could Xu Fengnian be able to pull it.

He lowered his head and said sadly: "Dad said, I can't go back."

Xu Fengnian's eyes darkened and he said seriously: "I said you can go back, just listen to me."

Xu Longxiang's innocent and innocent face showed a bit of grievance, "But dad said, my brother will be in trouble when I go back, and I don't want my brother to be in trouble."

Xu Fengnian said warmly: "Brother is not afraid of trouble, just listen to him."

Wang Zhonglou, who was behind him, suddenly said: "Your Majesty, please don't be impatient. Why don't you calm down first?"

Xu Fengnian's face darkened, she turned back to stare at him and said, "You want to stop me?"

Zheng Zha showed his attitude with actions. He pressed the blade of the Beiliang Dao on his waist with his left thumb and gently pushed it out half an inch.

Just such a simple action caused the air pressure in the field to condense, and a terrifying aura emanated from him.

This momentum made Xu Fengnian feel at ease, but it shocked Wang Zhonglou and Hong Xixiang.

Even with Wang Chonglou's cultivation level in that day's Xiang Realm, he didn't dare to say that he could safely take Zheng Zha's sword. He quickly said seriously: "How dare I stop the prince's family affairs?"

"Pindao just wants to persuade the prince to think more clearly. If the young prince returns to Beiliang, what will be waiting for him?"

Xu Fengnian said calmly: "I will guard him and won't let him be taken advantage of."

Wang Zhonglou said: "Can you stay with him for the rest of his life?"

Xu Fengnian asked: "Why not?"

Wang Chonglou asked: "Is it difficult for the prince to lock the young prince with iron chains?"

Xu Fengnian was silent. Wang Chonglou sighed, shook his head and said: "I know that the Crown Prince and the young prince have a deep brotherly relationship, so there will be no trouble between you."

"But has the prince thought about it? What if people who support the young prince take action against the prince?"

Zheng Zha on the side said calmly: "I will take over for the prince, I believe I can catch it."

These words were so encouraging that even Xu Fengnian raised his head slightly without realizing it.

Wang Chonglou looked at Zheng Zha and said solemnly: "What about those who support the crown prince taking action against the young prince?"

Zheng Zha remained silent, unable to answer this question.

Xu Fengnian shouted sharply: "Who dares?"

Wang Zhonglou shook his head and said earnestly: "What can't be accomplished in a power struggle? Many times the person in power can't help himself."

"The prince took the young prince back like this. He was putting the young prince on the fire to roast him and pushing him towards the dead end."

Xu Fengnian was speechless. Wang Chonglou's words actually made sense. The power struggle was beyond his control.

Even though they have a deep brotherhood, the people under his control will never be soft. Can he still kill all the people who do it?

If we really do this, the only result for Beiliang is to collapse.

Zheng Zha pushed the Beiliang Dao out of its sheath and pressed it back into the sheath, and the stagnant air pressure in the field returned to normal instantly.
