Chapter 167 The Holy Land of Martial Arts: Luoshen Valley

Chapter 167 The Holy Land of Martial Arts: Luoshen Valley

To the west of Qingcheng and to the east of Yuncheng, there is a world-famous valley between the two places.

The valley is deep, surrounded by mountains and cliffs on three sides. Only the east canyon can be entered. One man can guard the pass, and ten thousand men cannot open it. It can be said that the terrain is dangerous, easy to defend but difficult to attack.

Outside the valley are taller mountains, one after another, with so many mountains that the surroundings of the valley are filled with mist all year round, making it difficult for people who are not familiar with the road conditions to find the way into it.

The people in Liangzhou's martial arts world have an infinite yearning for this valley and are extremely eager to enter it. It would be an even greater honor for them if they could become the disciple of someone in the valley.

Just because this valley has a majestic name——

Falling God Valley!

Luoshen Valley is the only martial arts holy land in Liangzhou.

There is only one condition for becoming a martial arts holy land, and that is to have masters from the Nine Realms.

The Nine Realms are the highest realm of martial arts. There is only one among ten thousand. In the entire Yao Dynasty, the masters of the Nine Realms who can live at the same time can probably be counted on the fingers of two hands.

It is an exaggeration for an expert in the Nine Realms to say that one person can defeat a country, but it is definitely not a lie to say that ten thousand people are difficult to defeat.

Not to mention the admiration of everyone in the martial arts world, even for a behemoth like the imperial court, when faced with warriors of the Nine Realms, they are all big-headed, and generally they will not quarrel with them and stay away from them.

Once an expert in the Nine Realms establishes a sect, it becomes a holy land in the martial arts world. When he is alive, he is so powerful that no one dares to offend him, and his sect is eager to join it.

Just because the masters of the Nine Realms will leave behind inheritances, who wouldn’t want to get the kind of skills and knowledge that can reach the Nine Realms?

Luoshen Valley was founded almost at the same time as the founding of Dayao. It is said that the nine-level master at that time was related to the founding queen of Dayao, because the marksmanship they used was somewhat similar.

The founding queen used a Phoenix Spear to fight all over the world, with few opponents, but the first generation owner of the Luoshen Valley used a Luoshen Spear technique that was extremely powerful. With a spear in hand, he was unrivaled and invincible.

It is also speculated that Luoshen Valley is related to the founding queen, so its status becomes more and more transcendent.

Above the rivers and lakes, it is a holy place that everyone yearns for for warriors.

In the eyes of court officials, it may be related to the royal family, and they will not be provoked if they can.

Therefore, even after the death of the first generation of the Nine Realm Valley Masters, there has been no Nine Realm masters in the Luoshen Valley for decades, and at most there are only Eight Realm masters guarding it, but it is still safe and sound in Liangzhou, serving as its leader in martial arts. Boss.

If outsiders enter Luoshen Valley, they will find that the scene inside is not what they imagined.

It is said to be a valley, but it is actually like a small basin, dozens of acres in size, and the scene inside is not as desolate as an ordinary valley.

A small stream passes through a lake of nearly two acres in the middle of the valley. The stream flows and becomes a living water lake. Therefore, the lake water is clear, like a mirror, with the blue sky and white clouds reflected in it, which looks beautiful.

Along the lake, there are rows of brick and wood tile houses, some old and new, and they are quite crowded.

Further into the valley, there are extremely exquisitely built courtyards, in which flowers and plants are flourishing, the shade of trees is interspersed, and the birds are chirping and the flowers are fragrant.

Occasionally, a light mist blows in from outside the valley, making the entire Luoshen Valley look like a fairyland.

Practicing in it can make people relaxed and happy, and get twice the result with half the effort.

At this time, in a courtyard deep in the valley, an old man was holding a wooden sword and practicing his sword under the shade of a tree.

The old man looked like he was in his fifties or sixties. In fact, his movements did not look like a normal sword practice, but just waving the wooden sword carelessly.

His movements were extremely slow, one move after another, as if in slow motion. He seemed to have no lethality and no momentum.

However, every move he makes has a profound charm, and there is also a heart-stopping meaning in the calmness.

Not far away from him, a man in a green robe, about thirty years old, was watching quietly, his eyes fixed on him, looking carefully, as if he wanted to see something else from the old man's hand.

After a while, the old man finished practicing his sword and threw the wooden sword onto a wooden table in the yard.

Then, he turned to face the man in green robe and asked casually: "Zi Qian is still kneeling outside?"

The green-robed man replied respectfully: "Yes, Master, Junior Brother Shi refuses to get up."

The old man hummed and sighed: "You are so stubborn!"

The man in green robe hesitated for a moment and said: "Master, Junior Brother Shi has been kneeling all night. It shows that he is very determined and has made up his mind. Will you, the old man, let him out of the valley as he wishes?"

The old man walked to a wooden frame in the yard, put his hands into the clear water in the basin on the frame, slowly washed a few hands, then wiped his hands with the cotton towel next to him, raised his head slightly, and squinted at it.

It was almost noon, and the sun was shining brightly, dispersing the thick fog in the sky, and a white light shone down, which was a bit dazzling.

Withdrawing his gaze, the old man looked at the green-robed man again and said, "When I accepted him as my disciple, I told you that before he reached the Sixth Realm, he would never leave the valley or go down the mountain!"

Only after six realms can one leave the mountain?

What amazing words.

If an ordinary person said this, it would be easy for people to think that he was bragging.

But the green-robed man knew very well his master's skills, and it was just a matter of teaching the disciples of the six realms, and it was just a matter of pinching them.

Without him, the old man is an expert in the eighth realm. He is the great elder of Luoshen Valley, and his status is only lower than that of the Valley Master.

It can be said that the identity of the old man not only allows him to roam the Luoshen Valley, but also goes out of the valley and looks at Liangzhou and the world. He is also a famous master who no one dares to offend!

Is it not difficult for an expert from the eighth realm to teach a disciple from the sixth realm with the resources of Luoshen Valley?

What's more, with his status as the Great Elder of Luoshen Valley, the young talents who want to be in his name are like crucian carp crossing the river. Those who can catch his eye are all geniuses who are selected from the best.

The genius among geniuses, once he practices, his martial arts realm improves even more rapidly.

Not to mention anything else, the man in green robe is only in his thirties, and he is already a master of the Sixth Realm.

And the Junior Brother Shi he talks about is even more talented. He is only twenty-five years old and has already reached the fifth level. It only takes one or two years at most to enter the sixth level. In short, if the opportunity is good, he may not be able to reach the sixth level. A breakthrough can be made within half a year.

Therefore, the old man's downplaying of the six realms is not an exaggeration, but a habit.

Faced with the old man's somewhat displeased words, the man in green robe further advised: "Master, this moment is the same as that moment. Back then, Junior Brother Shi was a member of a noble family, high-spirited and unfocused, so he could naturally devote himself to cultivation. Now his family is ruined and he is a disciple of others. , Naturally, he wants to avenge his father and brother. He is bent on revenge, and his heart can no longer calm down. I am afraid that forcing him to practice is useless. The disciple thinks that it is better to let him out, get revenge, kill the inner demons, and come back before it is too late. "

The old man glanced at the man in green robe and said calmly: "He begged you to intercede?"

"Yes." The man in green robe admitted with a smile, "The disciple really feels that rather than forcing him to stay, it is better to let him get his wish."

The old man sighed: "With his little cultivation, if he goes out to find others and fights for his life, he might end up dying. Isn't the teacher aware that blocking is worse than blocking? Are you worried that he will die on the way!"

The man in green robe said: "Master's love and care are something we can all understand. It's just that Junior Brother Shi's situation is really special!"

The old man thought for a while, sighed, and said, "Let him in!"

"Yes, Master!" The man in green robe was overjoyed, turned around and hurried out of the courtyard.

After a while, he came back with a young man.

"Master!" After the young man came in, he ran to the old man in a few steps, knelt down with a bang, and kowtowed.

Seeing this, the old man couldn't bear it anymore, and stretched out his hand to pull the young man up. Seeing that he looked haggard and his eyes were red, he couldn't help but sigh: "Zi Qian, why are you doing this?"

The young man said apologetically: "My disciple has failed his master's high expectations."

The old man shook his head and said: "That's not the case. When I met you, I was eighteen years old. Now seven years have passed and your realm has gone from the three realms of perfection to the fifth realm. It's not too slow. Master What I expect from you is to reach the seventh realm in your early thirties. Now it seems that the hope is very high, but..."

"Master, the hatred between father and brother is irreconcilable!" The young man suddenly raised his head, suppressing his anger.

The old man paused and said with a wry smile: "Family interests and worldly disputes are very harmful to people!"

The young man gritted his teeth and said: "I heard that my younger brother died and my father and brother are in jail. I have not thought about food or food for the past two days, and I can't even sleep well. I just want to avenge them!"

The old man sighed: "Your Shi family in Mengjun County has changed. If you go back again, even if you succeed, you will only die more children of the same clan. Why bother?"

The young man said angrily: "The Shi family is my father's Shi family, no one can get involved! Anyone who is a traitor and a traitor will be punished!"

The old man and the man in green robe looked at each other, unable to refute for a moment.

If Chu Tang were here, he would find that they were talking about the Shi family in Meng County, and the young man's surname was Shi and his name was Zi Qian.

He should have realized immediately: this person was the second son Shi Ziqian who Shi Junpei said that day had worshiped in the Holy Land!

At this time, Shi Ziqian, who had reached the five realms of perfection, was only thinking about coming out of the valley to avenge his father and brother!

The cause of the matter was that he had just learned about the changes that had occurred in the Shi family——

The day before yesterday, someone broke into the gate of Luoshen Valley, clamoring to see their second son Shi Ziqian. After the latter heard about it, he brought him in.

The visitor informed that he was a worshiper of the Shi family and was entrusted by Shi Zilong, the eldest son of the Shi family, to report the news.

It is said that the second master of the Shi family, Shi Junfeng, rebelled and colluded with the Guijun Yamen to take down the family head Shi Junpei.

After breaking out of Mengjun, he parted ways with the eldest son and came to Luoshen Valley.

Along the way through Qingcheng, he also found out that the eldest son had also been captured by Chu Tang, the policeman from the Guijun Yamen.

Now, in Shi Junpei's lineage, he and his eldest son are trapped in the Gui County Yamen and squatting in jail, while the third son Shi Zilin died in a foreign country.

After hearing such changes, Shi Ziqian didn't believe it at first. He quickly found his master and used the power of Luoshen Valley. It only took one day to get more detailed information.

Only then did he confirm that the visitor was not lying, and that a big change had really occurred in his family!

Therefore, Shi Ziqian wanted to go out of the valley to avenge his brother and rescue his father and brother, but his master did not allow it.

For this reason, he knelt in front of the master's courtyard all night, begging endlessly.

Looking at the apprentice who was filled with hatred, the old man couldn't help but ask: "Zi Qian, what are you going to do after you leave the valley?"

Shi Ziqian was overjoyed when he heard this: "Master, do you allow me to leave the valley?"

"If my master doesn't allow it, I'm afraid you'll have to kneel down, right?"

"master……"

The old man sighed: "As a teacher, I hope you can have a perfect plan."

Shi Ziqian hurriedly said: "This disciple has already considered it. After leaving the valley, he went straight to Qingcheng, hoping to find the arrester from the Guijun Yamen. According to the news from outside, he escorted the Guijun prefect's daughter to Qingcheng. It should be now It’s only been a day since I arrived. Now I’m riding a thousand-mile horse, and I’ll arrive in Qingcheng early tomorrow morning! My brother must have died at his hands, and I’m going to kill him quickly!”

The old man frowned slightly: "He is from the imperial court."

Shi Ziqian suddenly raised his head: "It's just a small catcher, kill him! We are the disciples of the Holy Land, so there is nothing to fear!"

"You know how to use the banner of our Holy Land!" The old man snorted coldly, "That's all, as long as it doesn't cause a big problem, it won't be a big problem."

The court's arrests killed them when asked, as if nothing happened. How majestic and domineering the people of the Holy Land were!

"If he is not in Qingcheng, then I will chase him all the way to Guijun, kill him first, and then save my father and brother!" Shi Ziqian said with murderous intent.

The old man thought for a moment and said: "As a teacher, I have only one request from you. It is not impossible to kill people, but it is also possible to save people. However, officials of the seventh rank and above in Gui County cannot move. Otherwise, if things get too big, Luoshen Valley will have no choice but to push you out." The tank is overturned.”

"Master, I don't dare bring trouble to the Holy Land." Shi Ziqian agreed immediately.

The old man hummed, waved his hand, and said: "Go quickly, for the teacher is out of sight and out of mind!"

Shi Ziqian immediately knelt down and kowtowed three times to thank him, then got up and hurried away.

The old man looked at his disappearing back, turned to the man in green robe and said: "Zi Qian is very talented in swordsmanship, but after all, he was not young when he joined our sect. His Nine Heavens Luohe Sword is just a small success. He is afraid that he will never be able to survive in the world." not enough."

The man in green robe said proudly: "As long as he performs the Nine Heavens Falling River Sword Technique, people in the world will know that he is a direct descendant of our Holy Land. Who dares to touch him?!"

The old man scolded and said: "You, you, you are so arrogant when your realm is not yet high! Before calculating victory in everything, consider defeat first. Zi Qian's talent in swordsmanship is rare. From the perspective of his teacher, there is great hope that he can practice the Jiutian Luohe Sword. To reach perfection. This is the Eighth Realm Cultivation Technique, second only to the Ninth Realm Cultivation Technique Luo Shenqiang in the Luoshen Valley! Once the seeds of the Eighth Realm are completed, it will be enough to guard the Holy Land for decades, and there is no room for failure!"

"What do you mean, master?"

"Ling Feng, my master wants you to follow Zi Qian secretly and protect him. He will experience small disasters, but it is really dangerous. You will give him a helping hand at the critical moment of life and death! In addition, you have already achieved great success in the six realms, and it is time to go out and see the world. Martial arts, accumulate experience for yourself, so that you can realize the potential as soon as possible."

"I obey, master!" The man in green robe immediately clasped his fists and promised.

"Go ahead, go ahead. If you're late, you won't be able to catch up with your impatient junior brother." The old man waved his hand, signaling the man in green robe to leave immediately.

The man in green robe did not dare to delay. He followed the order and left the yard, chasing Shi Ziqian.

In the courtyard, only the old man stood quietly, bowing his head in thought, not knowing what he was thinking.

…………

Qingcheng. Wutong Academy.

It's night.

Chu Tang, who had nothing to do all day, borrowed a book from the academy to read.

Wutong Academy has a rich collection of books. Based on Tao Ying's reputation, Chu Tang borrowed a history book about the previous dynasties from the library to learn about the historical facts of the previous dynasty named "Huang".

Why not read the history books of the great Yao Dynasty?

I want to eat shit!

The historical records of the current dynasty are mostly about the deeds of the royal family and courtiers. Who dares to write and publish them privately?

If you want to know about Dayao, you can either hear it through hearsay or verify it from a large number of official and unofficial histories.

Even Wutong Academy didn't have many records in this area, and they were not systematic. Chu Tang really didn't have the time to bother reading them.

Even borrowing one or two historical records from the previous dynasty had to go through layers of procedures, and it was only because of Tao Ying's reputation that he had such an opportunity.

It was impossible for Chu Tang to read all the records of the Huang Dynasty, which lasted for more than five hundred years. What he borrowed were the records of the last years of the dynasty.

Because events in the last years of the previous dynasty often involve some people and relationships from the founding of the current dynasty.

No, Chu Tang found some descriptions about the founding emperor of Dayao.

According to records, the founding emperor's surname was Tang and his name was Benchu. He was just a mountain boy from Qingzhou, one of the nine states. When his martial arts skills were neither high nor low, he traveled around the world for a while, and later went to a village to start a business without capital.

Unexpectedly, he made this business bigger and stronger!

When the world was in chaos and he rose up, what he showed to the world was his cultivation in the upper three realms.

The Huang Dynasty sent generals many times to encircle and suppress the roaring crowd, but they all returned without success, making the situation more and more decadent.

Later, Tang Benchu ​​met his real name Tiannu. With the help of the founding queen, he defeated all the powerful men, won the world, and unified the nine states!

It has been a hundred years since Guozuo conquered the martial arts of Jiuzhou, established the good people of the world, practiced martial arts internally, and rejected the barbarians externally, and cultivated civilized and martial arts, creating a prosperous age.

After reading it, Chu Tang sighed with emotion: "You are a role model for us to have such a soft meal! It's so delicious!"

The one who was secretly stabbing was Tang Benchu, the founding emperor of Dayao!

A guy who has only cultivated in the eighth realm in his whole life fell in love with a woman in the ninth realm who was devoted to him, and thus gained the world.

It’s not an exaggeration to say that the founder is a soft-boiled person!

No time-travel novel would dare to be written like this, okay!

"Brother, why didn't such a good thing happen to me?" Chu Tang felt envious and jealous.

It's time, half past Haishi.

A lamp is orange, and the shadow of the candle is swaying.

Chu Tang, who was sitting on the chair, slowly closed the book in his hand and placed it on the table, thinking for a moment.

It has been two full days since he arrived in Qingcheng.

Yesterday, after seeing Tang Yue, the deputy commander of the Yiyi Guards, return to the academy, Tao Ying only asked Chu Tang to wait in peace while she went to recuperate.

And he kept his promise and gave the accompanying detectives two days off to have fun in Qingcheng.

He was so idle that he could only pass the time by reading.

After a day of recuperation, the pain in the meridians caused by forcefully opening Tang Yue and Tao Ying yesterday has fully recovered.

It was quiet at night, with only the low hum of summer insects around. The sound of Lang Lang reading that had been loud all day in the academy had long since died down.

Chu Tang couldn't help but have wild thoughts.

There is enthusiasm for the future, but there is also worry about the current situation.

Among them, the one that comes to mind the most is the duel between Tao Ying and Tang Yue yesterday.

The power of half the upper three realms and the influence of "power" on the warrior's spirit made Chu Tang excited and frightened.

The exciting thing is that with their demonstration, he has a clearer understanding of the way forward.

What is frightening is that if he really encounters an opponent from the upper three realms, how should he deal with it?

"After all, you still have to rely on the improvement of your own realm!" Chu Tang sighed, "It's not yet time to understand the situation. The most urgent thing is to find a way to advance to the sixth realm!"

What can he do?

Without it, face me!

Thinking of this, Chu Tang stood up and quickly got on the bed in the house.

After sitting down, he took a deep breath, pulled up the panel from the sea of ​​​​consciousness, and stared at the more than 4,200 chivalrous points on it in a daze.

After a long while, Chu Tang murmured in his heart: "It's only the realm of the fifth realm, it's not enough!"

These words are a bit Versailles. If outsiders knew that he was only twenty years old and that he was already at the fifth level, he would probably frighten so many people that their jaws would drop and they would line up from the north gate to the south gate of Qingcheng.

However, after witnessing the power of a person comparable to those in the Seventh Realm, he felt a sense of urgency in his heart, as if someone was trying to persecute him, and he always felt that he had to improve his realm as soon as possible.

"In this world, the way of martial arts ranks first in realm! Then forget about everything else. Focusing on realm is the way to go!" Chu Tang muttered to himself.

Gradually, two firm rays of light shot out from his eyes!

"Just do it!" Chu Tang, who had made a decision in his heart, waved his hands and was busy on the panel invisible to the naked eye.

Uh-huh!

The panel that has not been operated for a long time has reopened!
