Chapter 51: Celestial Mountain Snow Eagle
Chapter 51: Celestial Mountain Snow Eagle
Yuan Qiuyun's wedding went off without a hitch, and You Longsheng's gain was getting to know a group of people he hadn't known before.
After returning home, during the time before the New Year, he did nothing but cultivate his martial arts and began preparing for a possible future enemy attack on the Sword-Hiding Manor.
"Mechanisms, poisons..."
"Oil, traps..."
Not to mention You Teng, even You Ji watched with a pounding heart and palpitations.
"Master, it won't come to that. Sword-Hiding Manor hasn't been invaded in years, moreover, the Fish Intestine Sword is no longer in the manor." You Ji said.
Compared to You Teng, You Ji guessed You Longsheng's intention in giving away the Fish Intestine Sword, so he didn't express any opinion on the matter. Instead, he was relieved by You Longsheng's growth.
Moreover, the advanced furnace steel-refining technique that You Longsheng brought back could easily refine good steel and forge excellent swords that were not inferior to the Fish Intestine Sword.
At this time, the Sword-Hiding Manor no longer needed to rely on the Fish Intestine Sword to boost its reputation.
"The next enemy that comes won't be those fools who are after the Fish Intestine Sword, but top-notch experts from the jianghu." You Longsheng said.
"Who?" You Teng asked with a chuckle. "Can I make a killing with my hammer?"
You Longsheng glanced at him, "The first one, your hammer probably won't even get a chance to strike before you're killed. As for the second one, your hammer might not even work against her."
You Ji asked, "Who is it?"
He knew his son's skills, and so did You Longsheng. That hammer strike was rarely something that a regular jianghu practitioner could withstand.
Moreover, his Iron Palm technique was also unmatched, and You Longsheng's martial arts were extraordinary as well.
Since that was the case...
The person who could make You Longsheng so cautious must be no ordinary individual. Who could it be?
You Longsheng didn't keep him guessing, "Blue Scorpion and the Great Joyful Goddess."
You Teng blinked, "Who are they?"
You Ji, however, was an old hand in the jianghu. Upon hearing these two names, his face changed as he asked, "Blue Scorpion and the Great Joyful Goddess? Master, how did you offend them?"
"I didn't offend them, but Blue Scorpion is Yi Ku's lover."
You Longsheng explained, "I heard she's quite devoted to him, and I'm afraid she'll come after me for revenge."
"No, really?" You Ji looked at the mechanism You Longsheng had set up in the corner and asked, "A lover who's devoted to a person like Yi Ku?"
"It's better to be prepared," You Longsheng shrugged.
"What about the Great Joyful Goddess?" You Ji asked, "I heard she usually operates in the South and rarely ventures into the Northern martial arts circles."
"She's Five Poisons Boy's godmother." You Longsheng said.
You Ji was speechless, "But Five Poisons Boy died by Li Xunhuan's hand!"
You Longsheng shrugged, "That's something you should discuss with the Great Joyful Goddess. Also, Li Xunhuan has gone missing."
You Ji's face turned bitter, "Duan Qian and Feng Wan were right. Master, it's best if you stay away from Li Xunhuan."
You Longsheng set up another small trap.
It was true that Blue Scorpion would seek revenge for Yi Ku, but in the original story, the Great Joyful Goddess wasn't the one who actively pursued Li Xunhuan. It was Lord Qing and Blue Scorpion who came to the tower to find Lin Xian'er.
This Goddess was more like an empress who wouldn't allow anyone to disobey her, wanting to collect handsome men as her male concubines. Moreover, when it came to Five Poisons Boy being killed by Li Xunhuan's sword, she didn't seem overly angry.
So You Longsheng wasn't sure if the Great Joyful Goddess would come after him for revenge.
How could he not be careful?
You Longsheng: o(╥﹏╥)
o
You Teng asked his father, "Are these two people very powerful?"
You Ji let out a sigh, "If either of these two people showed up in front of me, I would turn and run as far as I could. If I dared to look back even once, it would take a lot of courage!"
You Teng: (°ー°〃)
You Longsheng explained to You Teng, "Blue Scorpion is also adept at using poison and has high martial arts skills, not inferior to Yi Ku.
As for the Great Joyful Goddess..."
"Her name sounds quite impressive. Is she a Buddhist expert?" You Teng asked.
"I guess even the Little Li Flying Dagger can't kill her." You Longsheng sighed.
Everyone, "...'
...
But until the new year, neither Blue Scorpion nor the Great Joyful Goddess appeared.
During the holiday season, You Longsheng first visited the Peng family to celebrate the new year and presented them with the Tiger Head Treasure Sword. Then he went to the Wang family to visit his second sister, You Quan Hui, and his brother-in-law, and gave them a Clear Spring Sword.
"We've safely made it through a month, and the Lantern Festival is over. It's time to leave again," You Longsheng said.
Duan Qian frowned and said, "It's easy to say Shaolin and Wudang, but the Kunlun Sect is thousands of miles away from us in Jinzhong. It will take two months to go back and forth."
Feng Wan shook his head, "It's not just that. We also have to visit Shaolin and Wudang to deliver gifts. It would be good if we could be back by May."
You Longsheng said indifferently, "I heard that the Kunlun Sect has accepted quite a few female disciples from the Western Regions, as well as Persian beauties. The exotic beauties there are passionate and unrestrained, beautiful and affectionate..."
Duan Qian said seriously, "Accompanying the Lord of the Manor on a journey across the world is something we brothers must do!"
Feng Wan nodded vigorously, "We'll go up the mountain of knives and down the sea of fire, through water and fire. If we frown, we don't deserve to be called Sword-Hiding Manor disciples!"
You Ji asked, "Before the new year, didn't Ding Dashao also invite the Lord of the Manor to Hebei?"
You Longsheng shook his head, "This is an important matter. I can't bring them along to deliver gifts. I'll visit Hebei after I return."
Then You Longsheng set off with Duan Qian and Feng Wan. After more than a month, they arrived at Shaolin Temple again.
A nine-ring staff, shining with golden light and exquisitely decorated, was surely delivered to the heart of Shaolin. Abbot Xin Hu placed it in the Great Hero Hall.
Two Taiji Yin-Yang Swords, capable of cutting hair and melting iron like mud, were presented to Wudang Mountain. When combined to perform the Two Extremities Divine Sword technique, they were invincible. This caused the entire Wudang Sect to regard You Longsheng as a close friend.
With these gifts, You Longsheng had successfully maintained the relationships that Cang Long Laoren had established with Shaolin and Wudang.
Then the three of them passed through the Wu Pass into Shaanxi, crossed the Guanzhong Plain, exited through the Dasan Pass into Long, went south through the Qilian Mountains and the Xingxu Sea, and then turned west for three hundred miles to reach the Kunlun Sect.
And then...
"Master?"
You Longsheng unexpectedly encountered his master, Tian Shan Xue Yingzi, at the Kunlun Sect.
Xue Yingzi was an elderly man with white hair and a slender build. His posture was stooped, and no one would have guessed that he was once the number one swordsman in the world.
Both Tian Shan and Kunlun were in the Western Regions, and Xue Yingzi was also a good friend of the Kunlun Sect's leader, Mr. Zhuo, often visiting as a guest.
"How did you come to Kunlun Mountain?" Xue Yingzi asked You Longsheng.
"That's great, I won't have to make another trip to Tian Shan," You Longsheng replied.
Xue Yingzi: ???
