Chapter 330 Going to Wudang

Because the fox demon Bai Yun also had to overcome her tribulation, she went to learn from the experience of Azhen Po and other immortals. Therefore, there were only Yan Xu and Lin Pingzhi on the mountain, as well as Yue Buqun and his wife who came to visit from time to time.

From Yue Buqun, Yan Xu learned that Linghu Chong had let himself go after coming down the mountain. He became friendly with the unconventional sects, drank and played music with the people from the Demon Sect, and did not consider himself an outsider at all. As a result, rumors spread in the martial arts world that he had become the Demon Sect's son-in-law, which attracted countless ridicules.

If Yue Buqun had not turned his apprentice into a junior fellow apprentice, one can imagine the pressure he would be under at this time. The accountability from other sects in the Five Mountains alone would be enough to make him anxious. After all, Huashan was just a shell left. Once its reputation was ruined, the Huashan Sect would be no different from those third-rate sects. At most, it would have a master like him to support it, but at his age, how long could he last?

Fortunately, Linghu Chong is now the disciple of Feng Qingyang of the Sword Sect. This time it is Feng Qingyang's turn to be unable to sit still. He went down the mountain not long ago and said he was traveling, but everyone knew what he was doing.

However, Linghu Chong seemed to have received the news and no longer showed up in the world. No one knew where he had hidden.

Yan Xu shook his head and guessed that this unlucky guy was most likely used as the key to open the dungeon at the bottom of the lake.

What followed was internal strife within the Demonic Cult, which triggered a series of events.

After experiencing the strange world, Yan Xu was no longer interested in these martial arts affairs. He only wanted to collect more martial arts, so he did not plan to continue waiting passively, but went directly to Wudang Mountain.

The limelight of Shaolin and Wudang is now almost overshadowed by the Five Mountains Sword Sect and the Demon Sect, but only those old hands know that these two are the real leaders of the martial arts world.

The reason these two keep a low profile is not because of their lack of strength, but because Shaolin and Wudang have gradually moved away from being simple martial arts sects and are more like religious holy places. Therefore, status in the martial arts world is no longer that important, and even too high a reputation in the martial arts world may have a counterproductive effect.

Therefore, for Shaolin and Wudang, instead of taking up swords and fighting the Demon Sect themselves, it is better to train newcomers like the Five Mountains Sword Sect to take over, and they just need to sit back and watch the changes.

In this way, there would be no heavy casualties, and it would not arouse the vigilance of the court or the rejection of the upper class, thus maintaining a transcendent position.

However, no matter how high his status was, Taoist Chongxu did not dare to neglect Yuanhua Zhenren, a master who was said to be a god who had descended to earth, and came to greet him in person.

"May you be blessed with infinite happiness. Nice to meet Taoist Chongxu." Yan Xu smiled slightly and performed a Taoist salute, and Taoist Chongxu hurriedly returned the salute.

"Chongxu has met Master Yuanhua."

It can be seen from the way he addressed him that Chongxu believed it, at least on the surface, so he called the other person "Zhenren".

Taoist priest is the elder of Taoists, while Zhenren refers to someone who is close to immortality and has transcended the mundane world. Therefore, not everyone can bear this title. Just look at who has been called Zhenren in history, such as Zhang Sanfeng.

Chongxu calling Yan Xu "master" means he is surrendering himself and praising him, meaning that you should not go too far, after all, we are all juniors in front of you.

This is naturally embarrassing, so Chongxu didn't mention Wudang at all just now. He is only representing himself now, so the only shame is his own face.

Although it seemed like an attempt to cover up one's faults, it was Chongxu's helpless choice, because who could have thought that this person would come to Wudang Mountain in person.

Yan Xu didn't care about Chongxu's little plan, because if he were in his place, he would also doubt the other party's purpose of coming, whether he came to attack him or had other intentions.

When you are not as strong as others, suspicion will grow like weeds, and you may even do irrational things, so it is normal to test others.

After probing him for a few times, Taoist Chongxu still didn't understand the other party's intention, but he was sure that the other party had no hostility, which made him feel a little relieved, because he had hidden his identity to see the knife marks of Fuwei Escort Agency, and his only thought was that he was not strong enough to fight against him. Otherwise, as the head of Wudang Sect, why would he be so humble, because he was sure that this was someone he couldn't beat. After serving tea, Yan Xu said very bluntly that he wanted to live in Wudang Mountain for a while.

Chongxu happily asked someone to arrange the best room for him, but he secretly groaned in his heart because he was sure that the other party had other intentions.

After putting down the gifts, Chongxu personally took Yan Xu and Lin Pingzhi to visit Wudang Mountain. One purpose was to show the strength of the Wudang Sect, and the other was to see the other party's purpose.

Shaolin has a scripture library, and Wudang naturally has one as well, but it is not as famous as Shaolin’s. However, it also has a large collection of books, so it occupies a large area and looks very conspicuous.

"This is the Wudang Sect's Sutra Repository." Seeing the other party's eyes resting on the plaque of the Sutra Repository, Chongxu sighed secretly, but still asked the person to open the door in a very natural manner.

He had anticipated this, so he had people lock the door of the Sutra Repository and not allow anyone to stay or get close, for fear of attracting the other party's attention.

But no matter what, we can't take down the plaque of the Sutra Repository and then lie and claim that it doesn't exist.

If he dares to do it, the other party has to believe it, so now that things have come to this, he can only take it one step at a time.

"The Wudang Sect's collection of books is indeed rich." Stepping through the bright door, smelling the strong scent of paper and ink, as well as the fragrance of insect and rodent repellent, Yan Xu nodded with satisfaction as soon as he entered.

“You are too kind, sir. Wudang’s foundation is shallow. It is not as long-standing and profound as Mount Longhu and Mount Qingcheng.” This was the first time that Taoist Chongxu belittled his own sect, so his expression was a little unnatural.

"Master Chongxu is too modest. As long as we have Master Zhang here, it is enough to equal a thousand years of heritage." What Yan Xu said is indeed true, because when talking about Taoism in modern times, Zhang Sanfeng of Wudang Mountain cannot be avoided.

What’s interesting is that just after Yan Xu walked a few steps inside, he discovered that there were several slightly famous Wudang secret books faintly visible on the bookshelf not far from the door. He could see them with a little attention.

Yan Xu was not polite either. He stepped forward, took it and flipped through it. After the system recorded it, he put it back, leaving Chongxu stunned.

The secret manuals placed here were naturally arranged by Chongxu, with the purpose of seeing whether the other party was here for the Wudang Sect's martial arts.

This is a common problem in the world of martial arts. Regardless of whether it is a religious holy place or not, martial arts are taken very seriously, even far above those scriptures and Taoist scriptures.

But Yan Xu's performance made Chongxu a little unsure. He said he was not interested. He just came up and looked at him without any hesitation.

You can say he is interested, but he just flipped through it casually and put it aside. It seems that he is not pretending, he is really not interested.

Chongxu couldn't help but smile bitterly and began to understand how other small sects felt when facing Wu Dang.

From that day on, Yan Xu came to the Sutra Library to read books early in the morning every day, and even had his meals here. However, as for martial arts secrets, his attitude was to read them if he came across them, and he would not look for them deliberately if he didn't have any. He was very Buddhist, but it made Chongxu very painful, because he could not understand the other party's intention. It couldn't be that he really came for the Wudang Sect's collection of books.

Yan Xu was immersed in the sea of ​​books, and Lin Pingzhi couldn't keep reading with him because he also had to practice boxing.

Considering that he was the only disciple serving his master and could not stay away, Lin Pingzhi practiced boxing in the open space outside the Sutra Library, and was seen by Taoist Chongxu.
