Chapter 50 Stone Dragon and the Secret of Immortality
Shilong Dojo is located one mile outside Jiangdu City. Because of its reputation as the best master in Jiangdu, many people have come to the dojo to practice over the years.
Three months ago, a disciple of the Shilong Sect had a dispute with a wealthy businessman in the city and was injured by the wealthy businessman's men. Shilong, who always protected his young, sent his disciples to kidnap the wealthy businessman's family outside the city and kill them. .
Afterwards, the wealthy businessman's mansion was raided and finally set on fire. This wealthy businessman was the original owner of the location where Su Yu's Jade Emperor Pavilion was located.
In the dojo, a man who looked like a master was sitting on a chair with a small coffee table next to him. This man was Shi Long. Shi Long was seen banging on the table while looking at the martial arts practice in the square in front of him. There are hundreds of disciples. If his character was used in the past, he would definitely beat or scold those lazy disciples, but today Shilong seemed a little absent-minded.
"Jade Emperor Pavilion? What's the origin? Could it be that that thing was discovered in my place?" Shilong wondered secretly.
Thinking of this,
Shi Long's thoughts couldn't help but go back to the day when the wealthy businessman was exterminated. His disciples gave Shi Long the things they snatched from the wealthy businessman's house. In order to win people's hearts, Shi Long only symbolically took one of the ancient paintings, and all other things were rewarded. Gave it to the disciples below.
The ancient painting is a figure painting, which is a man standing on a cliff by the sea with a sword on his back. There is no inscription or signature, but the yellowish color proves that this is an old thing. Originally, Shi Long was not interested in this painting. But one day, Shi Long, who had just finished practicing, inadvertently glanced at an ancient painting from the corner of his eye, as if he saw the people in the painting moving.
Shi Long thought his eyes were dazzled at the time and didn't care.
But a few days later, after another meditation practice, Shi Long once again found the people in the painting moving. Shi Long was shocked and quickly stepped forward to check, but everything in the painting was normal.
Shilong suddenly felt that there was a secret in the painting, and began to study the painting. He originally thought that the person in the painting might be hiding some peerless swordsmanship, but after looking at it for ten consecutive days, Shilong's eyes turned green. Painting is still business as usual.
Finally, one day, Shi Long couldn't bear it anymore and slapped the ancient painting on the wall with his palm. But what he didn't expect was that a scroll actually fell out of the handle of the ancient painting that was shattered by the internal force.
Shilong quickly opened the scroll and found that it was a thin ancient scroll. It was made of the skin of an unknown animal. It looked very hard but also very tough. The ancient scrolls were densely written with incomprehensible words. At first glance, the words seemed crooked and very different from the current words. Shilong studied for a long time and could not understand a single word.
Afterwards, Shilong wrote down the first few words of the ancient scroll, used his reputation to visit several famous scholars in Jiangdu City, and then inadvertently drew and scrambled the written words during the chat. After asking about the order, I finally learned from several people that this was a text from ancient times, thousands of years ago, and very few people knew it. There happened to be a great Confucian who liked to study ancient texts. With his help, the text was A dozen words were translated.
After returning to the dojo, Shilong couldn't wait to compare the translated words with the words at the beginning of the ancient scroll.
After comparison, it was translated that the three words at the beginning of the ancient scroll are the secret of longevity.
Shi Long's heart almost jumped out of his chest at that time. Everyone who practiced martial arts in the Great Sui Dynasty had heard of the name of the Secret of Immortality. It was said that it had not appeared for hundreds of years. He did not expect that he would accidentally obtain this magical skill.
From that day on, Shi Long visited the great scholar every few days. Until today, most of the Secret of Immortality has been translated. If it weren't for the fear of attracting others' attention, Shi Long would have wanted to hire someone to finish the translation right away.
But the inexplicable appearance of the Jade Emperor Pavilion made Shi Long a little restless. The eldest disciple came back and said that the other party knocked people away through the door. Although he could do it, the door would definitely be damaged. This shows that the other party has deep skills. Unfathomable. Later, it was reported that the prefect Dugu Ming was defeated by a little girl who came out and said that the girl was a great master.
Shi Long naturally sneered at this statement. Dugu Ming only reached Grandmaster with the help of his family when he was almost fifty. His actual combat strength was less than half of his, and his knowledge was even worse. It was possible for someone to defeat him and elevate his opponent's identity to save face. .
Then Shi Long thought that even if the girl was not a Grand Master, the person behind her might not be. If she was really a Grand Master, Shi Long could not afford to offend her.
"Come here." Shilong shouted.
"Master." A disciple stepped forward quickly.
"Take a few smart people and keep an eye on the Jade Emperor Pavilion for me. If there is any trouble, you must come back and tell me." Shi Long said.
"Yes, Master." The disciple responded quickly.
"Alas..." Then Shilong sighed, got up and walked out of the dojo, and continued to visit the great scholar at the academy in the city.
At the same time, since the eunuch ordered the Jade Emperor Pavilion that day, the surrounding streets of 20 meters have been blocked and no one is allowed to approach. However, 20 meters away, countless people come to watch the excitement every day and face the tall Jade Emperor Pavilion. Huang Ge pointed.
"It's really strange. It appeared overnight."
"It can be said that it is truly a miracle."
someone in the crowd said. There are many people with martial arts skills among them. But no one dared to get close. Everyone knew about the defeat of the prefect that day, the existence of a suspected grand master, and the pavilion master who had never shown up. No one dared to take risks.
At the other end of Qinglong Street, a carriage passed by slowly, and the chain that had been removed was lifted. It was Shilong who was heading to the academy.
"It's true. How is it possible?" Shi Long looked at the towering Jade Emperor Pavilion in the distance in surprise. He was extremely shocked. This big building would take ten days or half a month, not to mention one night.
Shi Long became even more anxious and couldn't help but think about whether to let the great scholar translate the remaining half of the Changsheng Jue.
"No, no, it's too risky, and this Jade Emperor Pavilion may not be coming for me." Shi Long said secretly.
"Let's go." Shi Long lowered the curtain and knocked on the carriage.
On the top floor of the Jade Emperor Pavilion, Su Yu was watching Shi Long's carriage leave in the distance. In fact, on the night he arrived in Jiangdu, he went to Shi Long's Taoist temple in person and learned from a disciple that Shi Long would go to the Bamboo Forest Academy in the city every few days to meet the great scholar on Baihui Academy Street.
"This guy must have obtained the Changsheng Jue. He is smart and cautious. He thought of using this method to crack the text of the Changsheng Jue." Su Yu said secretly.
"System." Su Yu shouted.
"Host, I'm here." The system responded immediately.
"Does the Changsheng Jue have any requirements? Does it need to be translated completely?" Su Yu asked.
"No, you can submit the progress of the task if it is not translated, but the completion degree is higher if it is translated completely." The system said.
"Completion degree?" Su Yu asked in confusion.
"Yes, host, this is a series of tasks. The completion degree is related to the completeness of the skills. After the four great books are collected, they will be scored. The higher the score, the better the reward." The system said.
"I see, then I will give you some more time. Shilong, you have to hurry up." Su Yu said to himself.
Then Su Yu's figure flashed, and the whole person disappeared in the Jade Emperor Pavilion, and then appeared on a street corner. He planned to go out for a walk. Fortunately, no one here knew that he was the owner of the Jade Emperor Pavilion.
"Hey, it's a good thing that Ah Qing thought I was practicing." Su Yu suddenly thought of Ah Qing, the little girl, and smiled.
Jiangdu or Yangzhou is extremely prosperous, with people coming and going on the streets, but the most talked about thing is still Su Yu's own Jade Emperor Pavilion. Su Yu walked on the street, and his handsome appearance often attracted young ladies nearby to stop and look at him curiously.
When passing by a pastry shop, Su Yu walked in, intending to buy some cakes and snacks to bring back to Ah Qing and others.
Just as he entered the door, he passed by a woman with a veil on her face.
The two looked at each other, Su Yu's eyes were clear, and he nodded friendly and walked in. The woman paused slightly, and then walked out.
"Interesting, a young master, worthy of the Great Sui, met another master on the road so soon." Su Yu sensed the breath of the woman just now.
The woman who had already walked on the street turned back to look at the pastry shop, looking at Su Yu's back, wondering what she was thinking.
