The Villain's Counterattack

Chapter 322: Finding the Cave and Obtaining the Technique

The Dali Kingdom has beautiful scenery with many mountains and rivers. Although the population is small and the generals are few, the people are tough and there are many warriors.

One day, a scholar in white came from the foot of Wuliang Mountain, walking with light steps and carrying a book box on his back. He easily bypassed the disciples of Wuliang Sword Sect and followed the terrain to the cliff behind Wuliang Mountain.

"My aunt refused to tell me the details of this place, and the others knew very little either. In the end, we had no choice but to take this path that only the protagonist could take." Murong Fu muttered to himself, "I can be considered the protagonist in this journey through the heavens. Although this protagonist is not the same as the other protagonist, I have taken the protagonist's path, leaving him with no other way to go. I wonder what will happen in the end."

Murong Fu burst out laughing at the thought. His own existence was the biggest variable. The ending of the Five Mountains Sword Sect in the world of The Smiling, Proud Wanderer was a drastic change. In the world of The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber, Zhang Wuji even ascended to the throne of Emperor, a truly monumental change in history. Only in the world of The Legend of the Condor Heroes did he contribute the most, yet change the least.

The protagonist has changed the least, but the Yang family has changed a lot. At least Mu Nianci is no longer destitute and dies young, the orphan Yang Guo has become the King of Song Yang Shoucheng, and he has captured Guo Fu, Xiaolongnu, and Cheng Ying in one fell swoop, and all of them have become candidates for his daughter-in-law.

And what have I changed in this world?

The Gusu Murong family has become even more powerful. They have made such a big noise in the past ten years, but their dead father has not shown up yet. Their mother has become healthier and stronger. They wonder how their dead father would feel if one day he came home to visit his family on a whim, but was beaten up by their own wife as a thief.

It must be very interesting.

After becoming the Gusu Murong family, the biggest change was in Mantuo Villa. Her uncle was always there, and her aunt Li Qingluo, who was no longer a widow, had both a son and a daughter. Her husband was a famous scholar and warrior. Mantuo Villa was strong and wealthy, and she was no longer like a resentful woman in the boudoir who angered everyone as in the original novel.

But the more this happened, the more secretive she became about the mistakes she made in her youth and refused to reveal a single word. She even kept her own origins a secret. Murong Fu relied on the fact that she was a child and did not try to get any information from her.

In the end, Murong Fu could only rely on the plot to walk the protagonist's narrow path. However, he had extraordinary martial arts skills, and his lightness skills were unique. He could use the Wudang Cloud Ladder up and down without any difficulty. He also had the Quanzhen Golden Swallow Kung Fu, which was best for cliff climbing. The cliff behind the Wuliang Sword Sect was not much different from the flat ground for him.

He climbed down the cliff and groped his way along the steep wall. His martial arts skills were extraordinary, naturally not as good as Duan Yu's. Although he stumbled along the way, it was quite smooth and he soon found the boundless jade wall.

It had only been a little over ten years since Li Qingluo left, but the environment hadn't deteriorated significantly. Murong Fu quickly found the mechanism at the cave's entrance and gently pushed it open, unconcerned about whether anyone was there. He then reported, "I'm Murong Fu of Gusu, following the trail of a relative. I came here, but I didn't know the owner was there. I've come uninvited, and I hope the owner will forgive me for trespassing."

After going back and forth three times and hearing no one answer, he stepped into the cave. The cave was located under the Sword Lake. There was a crystal through which one could peek into the bottom of the lake. The scenery was quite nice, but it had been deserted for a long time and it was a bit deserted.

Murong Fu had a seven-foot square storage space, which contained the Flying Wing and many daily necessities. He thought it would be a bad idea to leave such a precious place to waste. Since Wuyazi and Li Qiushui would never come back, and his aunt was unwilling to come back, the place might become his own.

What? You mean Duan Yu?

Haha, I have only locked the door from the inside, so even ordinary second- or third-rate masters cannot push it open, not to mention the scholar who is so weak that he can't even tie a chicken. At worst, I can make another trip and carry him up from the valley. But this cave cannot be handed over to him, and he cannot be allowed to desecrate the statue and scroll of the fairy sister.

Murong Fu took a wooden bucket and fetched water from Jian Lake. He carefully cleaned the stone cave before continuing to move forward. He pushed open the stone wall to reveal a cave. Looking inside the cave, he saw a stone staircase. After going down more than ten steps, there was another door. When he pushed open the stone door, he saw a magnificent stone chamber.

The walls of the second stone chamber were inlaid with pearls and diamonds, and the precious light shone brightly. Six large crystals were inlaid on the west wall, and green water was faintly visible outside the crystals, making the stone chamber several times brighter than the first one. However, the most eye-catching thing was still the jade statue carved out of white jade.

The jade statue was the size of a living person, its pale yellow silk robe trembling slightly. Even more remarkable was its pair of eyes, gleaming with life, its spirit radiant. A faint blush tinged the veins of the jade's face, making it resemble human skin. Murong Fu examined it carefully for a few moments before gently shaking his head. "While the jade statue is beautiful, it's not a living person after all. Its appearance bears an 80% resemblance to my aunt. Perhaps my future cousin Yuyan will look similar to this as well."

Although he said so, for some reason, Murong Fu always felt that this jade statue was quite unusual, as if it had a unique charm that made him unconsciously cast his eyes on it. After a moment, he was shocked and thought to himself: This jade statue is really weird. Could it be that it is infused with Wuyazi's hard work and thoughts, and with his realm, he unintentionally created some kind of enchanting technique similar to the Soul Transfer Technique and attached it to it?

Murong Fu looked down and saw that there seemed to be words embroidered on the inside of the shoes on the jade statue's feet, and he knew what was going on. He tore open the small cushion with a wave of his hand, took out the silk bag inside, opened the silk bag, and found a rolled-up silk scroll inside.

"'Northern Divine Art' and 'Lingbo Weibu'. Grandma Li Qiushui is really trying hard to take revenge on the Xiaoyao Sect, but she doesn't care about her own image." Murong Fu shook his head secretly, put the two martial arts techniques into his pocket, and then carefully searched the entire cave, memorized the Zhenlong chess game, and checked the empty Langhuan Jade Cave library, but found nothing. However, he was quite excited when he saw the cradle, thinking that it would be very interesting if he gave it to his aunt.

Since he had decided to take this place for himself, Murong Fu naturally would not let it go to waste, so he cleaned it up carefully, then went outside along the main entrance, looked at the turbulent and fast-flowing Lancang River, and then transplanted many vines and flowers to prepare to cover the cave entrance.

Although this place was deserted, there was still a chance it wouldn't be discovered. However, if they completely sealed the cave entrance, the air inside would become polluted and deteriorate, which would be unhealthy. It would be better to make some arrangements outside to prevent anyone from finding this place. It just so happened that he was already proficient in the art of Qimen Dunjia, and three months ago, he inherited the Bagua formation from Zhuge Wuhou, which further improved his skills. It wasn't difficult to arrange a few things to conceal his presence.

Two years ago, when his "Nine Yang Magic Art" was perfected, he took the "Small Wuxiang Art" from the Langhuan Jade Cave in Mantuo Villa. Since they were of the same lineage and had no difference in core, he learned most of it. Now that he had obtained the "Northern Sea Magic Art", he had the idea of ​​learning it as well, but he was afraid that the two techniques would repel each other, so he was a little hesitant.

"If it really doesn't work, then go to Leigushan to look for Wuyazi. I will definitely not miss out on the various unique skills of the Xiaoyao Sect." Murong Fu was quite puzzled. This Langhuan Jade Cave was Wuyazi's library. Why didn't it have the Xiaoyao Sect's own martial arts, but instead collected the inheritance of many sects in the world?

Could it be that this place is really just an unimportant resting place, which was despised by Wuyazi and Li Qiushui and was abandoned at will? But it seems that Ding Chunqiu does not attach importance to this place either, or he himself does not know that this place exists?

It seems that Aunt Li Qingluo is still hiding something from him.

"That Xiao Wuxiang Gong is probably the only Xiaoyao Sect martial art that Li Qiushui left to my aunt. It's not completely without conscience, but there isn't much left." Murong Fu decided to live in seclusion here for a few days, to experience the life of Wuyazi back then and relax his tense nerves.

"By the way, why not practice Lingbo Weibu? This footwork is indeed extraordinary. But why hasn't my aunt learned it? Does she have a grudge against this place? Sigh, it seems that everyone from the Xiaoyao Sect has water in their brains. Trouble, trouble, really trouble!"
