Life in the world of film and television

Another year passed, and Li Mu turned fourteen.

At the end of last year, the second level of Baoyuan Gong was almost complete. Less than a month after the New Year, the opportunity for breakthrough came.

This morning, after he finished practicing a set of Yangwu Sword, he suddenly felt something in his heart. He immediately sat cross-legged and the third level of Baoyuan Gong also appeared in his mind. He followed the instructions and entered the level calmly and smoothly. the third floor.

Once you have developed your internal strength to the third level, you will be a good player in the world. For most people, the third floor is their ceiling.

Only disciples of big sects like Li Mu, who have profound skills, knowledgeable teachers, and brothers with extraordinary qualifications, who can communicate and discuss with each other, have the possibility of entering the fourth level or even higher levels.

At the same time, when Baoyuan Gong has reached the third level, the internal strength has reached a certain level, and most of Huashan's kung fu can be learned.

Li Mu's Bao Yuan Gong was broken through for half a month, and after it was completely consolidated, Yue Buqun once again taught him a skill called "Ladder to Heaven."

As one of the Nine Arts of Huashan and the only light skill among the Nine Arts, this Ladder to Heaven is not only extremely sophisticated and profound, but also has an extraordinary origin.

According to the records in the Huashan Classics, this ladder to heaven should have been passed down from the Quanzhen Sect. It is particularly good at borrowing power out of thin air, and it has the same purpose as the Wudang Ladder.

At that time, Ma Yu traveled thousands of miles from Zhongnan Mountain to the desert to teach Guo Jing martial arts. He used Qing Kung Fu to climb the cliffs as if they were walking on flat ground, and saved a pair of small white eagles, which convinced Guo Jing to learn martial arts from him. This should be the ladder used to ascend to heaven.

Precisely because this Qing Gong is very sophisticated and profound, and requires extremely high levels of internal strength, the third level of Baoyuan Gong is the threshold for learning.

If he wanted to truly master it, like Ma Yu, who could rely on strength out of thin air and walk on flat ground when facing a cliff, he was still far away, and neither could Yue Buqun.

However, this does not delay his practice.

Li Mu has the foundation to learn Huashan Shenfa. Although Huashan Shenfa is only Huashan's basic light body method, it is used to lay the foundation just like Huashan's introductory swordsmanship.

He has practiced well and has a solid foundation. He has made rapid progress in learning to climb the ladder. However, due to the limited skill, the effect is not very good. If you want to go further, you have to wait and see when your internal strength will break through again.

Even so, it is a rare and excellent Qing Gong. Li Mu practices it for half an hour every morning.

Just like now, when the sky was dimming, Li Mu walked out of the small courtyard and stretched his body slightly, and the joints in his body crackled.

He slowly walked to a deserted mountain road, took a breath, leaned forward slightly, with his toes a little on the ground, and used the skill of climbing a ladder to rise up from the ground.

However, what is surprising is that although the body rose into the air, the speed was extremely slow. It slowly floated forward, and saw that the momentum was exhausted.

Li Mu took a step slowly in the air, as if there was a ladder under his feet, and his body floated forward another five or six feet before falling silently.

Li Mu took a long breath, calmed down his restless energy, and got ready again. He put his toes on the ground a little, used the ladder, and slowly floated up again.

……

A quarter of an hour later, Li Mu broke out in a thin layer of sweat and his energy was depleted, so he stopped practicing.

This Qing Gong is said to be difficult to practice, but it is really difficult to practice. It not only requires high internal strength, but also requires qualifications and mind, making it quite difficult to practice.

For example, to let the body slowly float forward in the air, the true energy must be harmonized evenly throughout the whole body, the yin and yang must be blended together, and the strength of the whole body must be controlled exactly. This is very difficult to grasp, even if it is Nine out of ten disciples from those sects cannot do it.

Even in the Huashan Sect, there are not many people who have the qualifications and talent to learn and climb the ladder in the future.

A few months passed in the blink of an eye, and in May, Li Mu went down to Mount Huashan again.

Some time ago, he received a letter from Lin Zhennan, adding that he had a younger sister. Thinking that it had been two years since he came to Huashan, he planned to go back when.

At noon, I had a drink at a restaurant in Huayin County and listened to some people from the martial arts circles talking about the famous martial arts schools in Shaanxi. The Huashan School was naturally indispensable, and some even mentioned the Quanzhen School that had disappeared.

However, as the largest sect in the North at that time, it was more powerful than the Huashan Sect in its glory days. Although the Quanzhen Sect is gone, no one dares to deny its influence.

A few guys were eating, drinking, and bragging, but Li Mu got interested.

Thinking of the Quanzhen Sect on Zhongnan Mountain, Li Mu naturally thought of the Ancient Tomb Sect in the back mountain of the Quanzhen Sect, and then thought of the Double Ninth Festival inscriptions in the secret chamber of the Ancient Tomb Sect. That was the Nine Yin Manual... the attraction of this thing to people in the world , which is much larger than the evil sword manual.

As a man of the world, Li Mu felt a little restless in his heart.

There was no rush to return to Fujian at the moment. He returned to the escort agency, gathered all his men, and rushed directly to Zhongnan Mountain.

Zhongnan Mountain is in the southwest of Xi'an. There are two ancient roads. One is the "Ziwu Road", which is the main road from Xi'an through Zhongnan Mountain to Hanzhong and Sichuan. In the Tang Dynasty, lychees brought to Fuzhou, Sichuan as tribute to Concubine Yang Guifei came through this road. This road is also known as "Lizi Road".

The other road is called "Wuguan Road", which is the main road from Xi'an to Chu and Henan via Zhongnan Mountain. When Qin Shihuang swept across Liuhe and "returned from Nanjun through Wuguan", he was referring to this Wuguan Road.

The group passed through Wuguan, and within half a day, they arrived at an ancient town at the foot of Zhongnan Mountain. It was said that the ruins of the Quanzhen Sect were nearby.

Li Mu rented an inn in the town and hired some local mountain people. Within two days, he found the Quanzhen Sect ruins.

It's just that the once largest sect in the north, with more than thousands of palaces and palaces and nearly 10,000 disciples, has now become a ruins, and many places still have traces of fires, which makes people sigh.

After sighing with emotion, he identified the terrain and direction, and led a few runners towards the mountains behind the Quanzhen Sect for the next day.

As he walked, he thought about the place in front of him where Yang Guo and Xiao Longnu lived, and felt a sense of emotion. I wonder if there are any descendants of the Ancient Tomb Sect now. Although I have never heard of it in the world, the Ancient Tomb Sect is originally a reclusive sect. It’s really hard to say that there must be no successor.

If there are still people in the ancient tomb, coming here this time...

After thinking about the TV series I had watched, I found that the descendant of the Ancient Tomb Sect last appeared in the late Yuan Dynasty. By just counting, it was more than a hundred years ago.

At that time, the woman in yellow shirt, who was the descendant of the Ancient Tomb Sect, helped the descendants of the Beggar Clan regain the position of leader when she first appeared, and then told the elders of the Beggar Clan that her ancestors had a close relationship with the previous generation of the Beggar Clan. Later, at the lion-slaying meeting in Shaolin Temple, the woman in yellow shirt appeared on the stage and revealed the "Nine Yin White Bone Claw" used by Zhou Zhiruo, and used the authentic "Nine Yin Divine Claw" to fight Zhou Zhiruo fiercely, and finally won the victory. Zhang Wuji asked her name, and she replied: "Behind Zhongnan Mountain, the Tomb of the Living Dead, the Condor Heroes and the Condor Heroes, disappeared from the world." Since then, there has been no trace.

Considering that the woman was only in her twenties at the time, her death must have happened decades ago. If there are any descendants, they should still be around now.

However, there is no news about the Ancient Tomb Sect in the current world. With the martial arts of the Ancient Tomb Sect, it is impossible for them to be so unknown.

For a moment, I didn't know whether I hoped that there were still descendants of the Ancient Tomb Sect, or that there was no one left in the Ancient Tomb.

The group soon arrived at the back mountain of Quanzhen Sect. After walking around, they found nothing. The scenery was quite good. Strange flowers and plants, cliffs and strange rocks, streams and stone pools can be seen everywhere.

It is said that the ancient tombs of the Ancient Tomb Sect are not real ancient tombs. They were built by Wang Chongyang, the founder of the Quanzhen Sect, when he raised righteous troops to fight against the Jin Dynasty. They were used to conceal people's eyes and to store supplies, grain, weapons and wages.

There are many mechanisms inside, and a dragon-breaking stone is set up at the door of the tomb. Once it is put down, it will be difficult to open it again. After the defeat of the rebel army, Wang Chongyang was angry and lived in seclusion in the ancient tomb, calling himself the "Tomb of the Living Dead", which meant that although he was still alive, he was still dead and had no sworn relationship with the Jin people.

Lin Chaoying fell deeply in love with him and lamented that his great skills were buried in the tomb, so he used a provocative trick to trick him out of the stone tomb, and the two joined hands in the world.

However, Wang Chongyang’s hatred for his country is unforgettable. As the saying goes, if the Huns are not destroyed, what is the purpose of the family? Pretending to be dumbfounded by Lin Chaoying's deep affection, Lin Chaoying thought Wang Chongyang looked down on her, so she finally competed with him in Zhongnan Mountain and won the ancient tomb with clever tricks.

From then on he lived in the tomb and never came back. Wang Chongyang became a Taoist priest nearby and established the "Quanzhen Sect".

Later, Wang Chongyang became the best swordsman in the world at Huashan Mountain and obtained the unique "Nine Yin Manual". He felt guilty about Lin Chaoying and never forgot it.

He was proud that "Chongyang will not be weaker than others in his life". He hoped that Lin Chaoying would know that he was not inferior to others in skills, so he entered the ancient tomb through a secret passage and carved some of the martial arts in the "Nine Yin Manual" in the secret chamber of the ancient tomb. To decipher the "Jade Girl_Heart Sutra", I hope that Lin Chaoying, who was running out of time at that time, could understand it and improve his martial arts to extend his life.

It's just that Lin Chaoying didn't know whether he didn't notice it or the hatred in his heart couldn't be overcome, and he didn't bother to understand the skills left by Wang Chongyang. Then he was depressed and died young, leaving only the "wedding dress, dowry, phoenix crown and harem" in the ancient tomb, which showed Lin Chaoying's thoughts and regrets throughout his life.

This pair of Bi people with peerless martial arts skills, aloof temperament, and extremely smart people, ended up like this, which really makes people sigh.

However, the world has changed, and the Bi people who were unable to love each other back then have long since become bones in the graves, and even the sect they founded has disappeared in the long river of time.

Li Mu took people around the area and found a suspected ancient tomb. However, after hundreds of years of changes in nature, he was not sure whether it was true or not.

The only thing that can prove the exact location of the ancient tomb is probably the Dragon Breaking Stone.

After searching nearby for several days, I finally discovered the location of the Broken Dragon Stone. Now it has been mostly buried by the collapsed soil, and it has long lived up to its former appearance.

Li Mu estimated the difficulty and movement of breaking through the Broken Dragon Stone, and temporarily gave up the idea. If possible, he did not want to use violent means to destroy the ancient tomb.

In this case, we can only look for the water pool leading in and out of the ancient tomb. Now that the Broken Dragon Stone has been found, the approximate location of the ancient tomb has been determined, and it is much easier to find the water pool.

After spending seven or eight days, Li Mu carefully searched more than a dozen water pools near the ancient tomb. Some were just pure water pools with no passages to other places. Some pools really have their own caves, and after trying them, they discovered that they lead to underground undercurrents.

Finally, the hard work paid off and I finally found it.

Li Mu returned to the town to make some repairs, purchased various necessary items, including some ancient primitive airbags, and walked toward the mountains alone.

With the help of these airbags, Li Mu spent a lot of effort and finally swam across the pool and entered the ancient tomb.

Climbing ashore from the water, Li Mu opened the waterproof tarpaulin, took out everything inside, then lit a torch and officially started exploring the ancient tomb.

There was a stone chamber in front of me. Looking at the dust on the ground, it seemed that no one had walked through this stone chamber for a long time. It seemed that there was really no one in the ancient tomb.

With the help of a torch, I walked a few steps forward and found that at the end of the stone room was a stone door that had not been opened for a long time. Li Mu took a deep breath, pressed his hands on the stone door, and used his internal strength. With a creaking sound, the stone door was slowly pushed open, and a hall came into view.

It was empty, with stone tables and benches set up. Li Mu checked carefully and found that there was indeed no trace of anyone. Although there was very little dust, it should be due to long periods of unoccupied time and lack of air circulation.

He walked around, and soon came to the back hall, which was also empty. There were only two portraits hanging on the west wall, and an incense table and a futon were set below. There is also a painting hanging on the east side, but nothing else!

Li Mu raised the torch and looked at the two portraits to the west. One was of two girls, one was in her mid-twenties, one was extremely beautiful, with beautiful eyebrows, but there was a faint murderous aura in the corners of her eyes, which made people look in awe. Xin is dressing up in front of the mirror; the other is a maid of fifteen or sixteen years old, holding a porcelain basin in her hand and waiting on her. She looks cute and naive, with a childish face.

Li Mu guessed that the older woman was Lin Chaoying, the founder of the Ancient Tomb Sect and a generation of heroine; that the maid was probably the second generation leader of the Ancient Tomb Sect and Xiao Longnu's master.

Li Mu looked at another painting, but it was a pair of beautiful people. The painting was rather hazy. The man was dressed in a green robe and had a giant sword slung across his back. He was proud and unrestrained.

The woman was dressed in a soft veil with snow-white skin. She seemed to be otherworldly. She was extremely beautiful and extremely cold.

After staring at the two paintings for a long time, Li Mu sighed softly: "Behind Zhongnan Mountain, the Tomb of the Living Dead, the Condor Heroes and the Heroic Couple have disappeared from the world."

"I didn't expect that I actually saw it."

After reading these two paintings, Li Mu raised his torch and illuminated the east portrait again.

This painting is of a middle-aged Taoist priest. He is very tall, with a long sword hanging from his waist. His right finger points to the northeast corner, but his back is outward and his face cannot be seen. There are still many spots and traces of drying on the painting.

Li Mu guessed that this was probably Wang Chongyang.

Lin Chaoying really loved and hated Wang Chongyang deeply.

It is said that the Tomb Sect has a rule that after entering to worship the founder Lin Chaoying, you must spit on the portrait of Wang Chongyang. Over time, these traces will be left after drying.

After seeing these paintings, Li Mu was shocked and moved, and decided to try not to move anything here, so that it could continue to remain as it had been for hundreds of years.

Perhaps, you can seal the pond when you leave, so that the ancient tomb can continue to be buried deep underground, and no one will disturb the tranquility here. (End of chapter)
