Chapter 116 Luoyang Green Bamboo Lane

"Tai Chi Boxing Classics"!
It was written by Zhang Sanfeng, the founder of the Wudang Sect.

However, several decades ago, during the war launched by the Demon Cult against the major sects of the righteous path, the Demon Cult snatched it away along with the Zhenwu Sword.

"I didn't expect that Brother Dongfang would give me this copy of Tai Chi Chuan Jing as a wedding gift!"

Chu Yuan said with some surprise.

"It turns out that the gift Uncle Dongfang gave to Brother Chu was the Tai Chi Boxing Classics!"

Ren Yingying was not particularly surprised when she saw the "Tai Chi Boxing Classics".

"Yingying, have you seen the Tai Chi Boxing Classics before?"

Chu Yuan said in surprise.

"Yes."

Ren Yingying nodded and said, "In the Sun Moon Sect, there is also a place similar to the Qingcheng Sect's Sutra Library. The treasures in it are the powerful martial arts that the Sun Moon Sect had robbed from various sects in the past. However, no one is allowed to enter that place except with the order of the leader. I have only been there a few times since I was a child. When I went in before, I saw this "Tai Chi Boxing Sutra"."

"I see!"

Chu Yuan understood.

From this point of view, if we were to discuss the place in the world that has the most martial arts secrets, it would probably be the Black Wood Cliff of the Sun Moon Sect.

Moreover, the martial arts collected by the Sun-Moon Divine Cult on the Black Wood Cliff are probably the secrets of various major sects, and they are quite powerful.

Except for the "Yi Jin Jing" from Shaolin Temple, all other martial arts that could be obtained from the major sects were basically taken away by the Sun and Moon Sect.

For example, the "Sunflower Manual" that Dongfang Bubai practiced was taken away from the Huashan Sect, and later Ren Woxing gave it as a reward to Dongfang Bubai.

In addition, the same is true for the Emei Sect, which had experienced a catastrophe and was almost destroyed.

"Unfortunately, this thing is of no use to me now, but after all, it is a martial art created by Zhang Sanfeng. It is good to read it when I have nothing to do and use it to increase my martial arts knowledge."

Chu Yuan glanced through the "Tai Chi Boxing Classics" in his hand and said.

It takes time and effort for ordinary people to learn a martial art and achieve a certain level of accomplishment.

However, people have limited time and energy. Only by devoting time and energy to one or two or three martial arts and practicing them diligently can one develop exquisite and profound martial arts.

Otherwise, for big martial arts sects like the Sun Moon Sect and the Shaolin Temple, which possess so many powerful martial arts and have no shortage of martial arts, their leaders, masters like Ren Woxing, Dongfang Bubai, and Fang Zheng, would not focus on practicing only one or two, or at most two or three martial arts, but would practice all kinds of martial arts.

With Chu Yuan's current martial arts skills, the role of this "Tai Chi Boxing Classic" can only broaden his horizons.

The same thing also happened with the "Yi Jin Jing" that he failed to obtain in the previous bet with Fang Zheng.

"Okay, Pingzhi, I got the stuff, you can go do your thing!"

Chu Yuan's response to Lin Pingzhi.

"Master Nephew, please retire."

Lin Pingzhi bowed and said goodbye.

……

Lan Fenghuang stayed in Qingcheng Mountain for less than ten days.

He took the Five Immortals Sect disciples and said goodbye and left.

Before they knew it, Chu Yuan and Ren Yingying had been married for four months.

It was April of the following year, the beginning of summer.

The ice and snow on Mount Qingcheng have long since melted, the grass and trees have sprouted green buds, all things are full of vitality, and the trees are green and shady.

The same is true in the courtyard where Chu Yuan lives.

In autumn and winter, the originally bare ginkgo tree has become lush and green again.

Today the sun is shining and the weather is bright.

Chu Yuan and Ren Yingying sat at the stone table under the ginkgo tree and played the piano.

Chu Yuan played again.

Ren Yingying sat nearby and listened.

The song Chu Yuan played was "Swordsman".

Just listen to the melodious and pleasant sound of the piano, with a long-lasting ancient charm.

"How is it, Yingying, my piano skills are pretty good now, right?"

After the song was over, Chu Yuan pressed the strings with both hands and asked Ren Yingying who was sitting next to him.

After marriage.

Chu Yuan usually spends more time with Ren Yingying.

Chu Yuan practiced the "Yin Yang Huan Yang Gong" with Ren Yingying at night, while Ren Yingying taught Chu Yuan to play the piano during the day.

Not to mention, after three or four months of study after marriage, Chu Yuan's piano skills have gone from being ear-splitting magic sounds at the beginning to becoming more beautiful.

"It's pretty good. He has made some progress in piano skills."

Ren Yingying looked at Chu Yuan with surprise.

Over the past few months, Chu Yuan's attainments in piano playing have increased at a rate visible to the naked eye.

From the magical sounds that filled my ears in the beginning, to now he is no less skilled than some musicians who have immersed themselves in the art for ten years.

You know, it has only been a few months since she taught Chu Yuan to play the piano.

"I'll play another piece of music for you."

Chu Yuan recalled another song in his memory.

He stroked the strings of the zither with his fingers, and melodious music slowly poured out from his hands like flowing water.

Ren Yingying was attracted after listening to just a passage.

Because although the melody of this piano piece is not as heroic as the previous "Swordsman", it has its own style. The melody is light and pleasant to the ears, like the tone of an opera.

After Chu Yuan finished playing the song, Ren Yingying asked Chu Yuan: "Brother Chu, what song is this? Why have I never heard you play it before?"

Chu Yuan said: "Bai Suzhen Under the Qingcheng Mountain!"

Seeing Ren Yingying looking at him in surprise, Chu Yuan explained: "It's the song I told you before, the story of a human and a demon in love, The Legend of the White Snake. It's not just a song, it also has lyrics."

"Bai Suzhen at the foot of Qingcheng Mountain has cultivated her body in the cave for thousands of years..."

"what……"

"Practice diligently to gain enlightenment, and be reborn into a human being..."

"what……"

Chu Yuan sang two lines, and although his singing was not very good, he sang out the lyrics and music together.

The piano piece he just played was just the tune of "Bai Suzhen Under the Qingcheng Mountain" converted into a piano piece.

For Chu Yuan, who had made great progress in learning the piano, this was not a difficult task.

"Brother Chu, could it be that you heard this song from somewhere else?"

After listening to this, Ren Yingying looked at Chu Yuan with admiration mixed with surprise, and she said to Chu Yuan.

“I heard it from somewhere else.”

Chu Yuan nodded.

As a martial artist, he doesn't need to plagiarize other people's works.

"Okay, whatever you say is what it is!"

Seeing that Chu Yuan still refused to admit it, Ren Yingying said helplessly.

She had never heard of the story of "The Legend of the White Snake" or the lyrics and music of "Bai Suzhen Under the Qingcheng Mountain" before.

This was the story she had heard from Chu Yuan last time. After hearing the entire story from Chu Yuan, she had ordered her subordinate Green Bamboo Old Man to publish the story in a book among the people under the name of "Qingcheng Sword Immortal".

Probably no one would have thought that the "Qingcheng Sword Immortal" who wrote "The Legend of White Snake" and the "Qingcheng Sword Immortal" who could defeat both black and white opponents and was hailed as a peerless master by the martial arts world together with Dongfang Bubai, were actually the same person.

She heard from Green Bamboo Old Man that this story was quite popular among the people.

In addition to many folk storytellers spreading this story among the people, there is actually a drama troupe that has begun to stage a play called "The Legend of White Snake".

Now Chu Yuan has written the lyrics and music of another song called "Bai Suzhen Under the Qingcheng Mountain", which might be sung together with "The Legend of White Snake".

I'm afraid that "The Legend of White Snake" will soon spread throughout the world and become a popular love story loved by people all over the world.

"Yingying, I'm going to go down the mountain to play for a while. Do you want to come with me?"

Chu Yuan suddenly asked Ren Yingying.

"Where are you going?"

Ren Yingying looked puzzled.

She didn't know why Chu Yuan suddenly decided to go down the mountain.

"I haven't gotten the Yi Jin Jing that Shaolin Temple promised me before, so I'll go get it this time when I go down the mountain."

Chu Yuan said.

"Okay, I'll go down the mountain with you."

Ren Yingying nodded.

"Master, Master's Wife..."

At this moment, Qu Feiyan, who had just finished teaching the Qingcheng Sect disciples swordsmanship, came back. She looked at Chu Yuan and Ren Yingying with a pair of mysterious eyes.

At first, she was somewhat reluctant to call Ren Yingying "Master's Wife", but now she has gotten used to it.

"Don't look. We two have something important to do down the mountain. You don't have to go."

Chu Yuan refused mercilessly.

"Don't look at me. If your master doesn't take you with him, there's nothing I can do."

Ren Yingying said helplessly.

He forgot his apprentice when he got a wife.

Qu Feiyan looked at Chu Yuan angrily, then turned around and went back to her room.

Ever since her master married that evil woman, she felt that her master didn't want to take her with him wherever he went, as if she had become a burden.

"Are we the only two going down the mountain?"

Ren Yingying asked Chu Yuan.

"Just the two of us going down the mountain."

Chu Yuan nodded.

He went down the mountain to do something important.

I didn’t have enough strength to accomplish this great thing in the past. Now I have enough strength and can start taking action.

"Is my father okay in the mountains alone?"

Then Ren Yingying said again.

She felt a little uneasy leaving her father alone in the mountains.

It’s not that she was worried about her father’s safety, but she was mainly afraid that her father would secretly go down the mountain and seek revenge on Dongfang Bubai.

"Don't worry, everything will be fine. My father-in-law has been getting along very well with Master Cuixia during this period. Besides, Xiang Zuoshi is accompanying him on the mountain!" Chu Yuan said.

Although Ren Woxing said different things.

But since he has already married Ren Yingying, he naturally can't really continue to call Ren Woxing "Brother Ren".

When he first got married to Ren Yingying, he was worried that after he and Ren Yingying got married, Ren Woxing would become fearless because of his relationship with Ren Yingying.

He wanted to go down the mountain, seek revenge on Dongfang Bubai, take back the position of leader, and cause turmoil in the Sun Moon Sect.

Later, after he married Ren Yingying, he saw that his father-in-law was hanging out with his uncle Taoist Cuixia all day long, talking about Taoist scriptures all day long, and all he talked about was the contents of the Taoist scriptures. He was more like a Taoist than Taoist Chu Yuan.

Chu Yuan finally felt relieved. "That's right."

Ren Yingying nodded.

"Then when will we go down the mountain?"

Ren Yingying asked Chu Yuan.

"Today, please."

Chu Yuan said to Ren Yingying.

"it is good!"

Ren Yingying agreed.

Afterwards, the two of them took a seven-stringed zither, some luggage and weapons, said hello to their senior brother Yu Canghai, and then, amid the dissatisfaction of their disciple Qu Feiyan, left the Qingcheng Sect and went down Qingcheng Mountain.

After descending Mount Qingcheng, they chose to take the water route.

It goes along the Yangtze River and then to the Han River to Xiangyang, and then to the vicinity of Luoyang via the Tangbai River in Xiangyang.

"Shall we go to Shaolin Temple first?"

After they got off the boat, Ren Yingying asked Chu Yuan.

"Why do you ask that?"

Chu Yuan was puzzled.

"Brother Chu, apart from the time I spent on Blackwood Cliff, the place I spent the most time was actually Green Bamboo Lane in the east of Luoyang City. That place is more like my home. I live there with the Green Bamboo Old Man. He also came when we got married. You have seen him."

Ren Yingying said to Chu Yuan.

"Green Bamboo Elder? I think his internal strength and martial arts are not weak, he is a master!"

Chu Yuan recalled the Green Bamboo Old Man he met when he and Ren Yingying got married a few months ago.

The other party's movements looked no different from those of an ordinary old man.

But in fact, the steps are steady and the breath is long.

His martial arts skills are probably on par with Zuo Lengchan's.

"I remember he called you aunt, why is there such a big age difference between you two?"

Chu Yuan asked Ren Yingying.

"His master called me Uncle Dad, and according to seniority, he always called me Aunt."

Ren Yingying explained.

"Do you want to go back?"

Chu Yuan looked at Ren Yingying and said.

"Brother Chu, I've married you, but you haven't been to my previous residence yet..."

There was a hint of pleading in Ren Yingying's eyes, and the meaning was self-evident.

"Okay then, let's go to Luoyang first."

Chu Yuan nodded.

There's no rush to go to Shaolin Temple anyway, so it doesn't matter if you go a little late.

"Ok!"

Seeing Chu Yuan agreed, Ren Yingying nodded happily.

The two men got off the boat from Nanzhao County, which was nearly three hundred miles away from Luoyang City.

After getting off the boat, the two headed straight for Luoyang City.

Three hundred miles is a lot for ordinary people, but it is nothing for Chu Yuan and Ren Yingying.

They followed the official road and arrived in Luoyang City in two days.

Standing in front of the Luoyang city gate, looking at the towering city walls of Luoyang, as well as the hustle and bustle of traffic and people entering and leaving the city gate.

Chu Yuan said: "I didn't expect that Luoyang City is quite large!"

This was his first time in Luoyang City in both of his previous lives.

Ren Yingying said: "Of course, Luoyang has been the capital of many dynasties."

As they were talking, Chu Yuan and Ren Yingying followed the crowd and walked into Luoyang City.

"Master Chu..."

As a result, as soon as I entered and walked not far, I heard a very familiar and somewhat surprised voice coming from the side.

Chu Yuan turned around and saw a beautiful little nun in the crowd. She was wearing monk's robes, had a shiny head, a well-proportioned body, and a fresh and refined appearance.

Following behind the little nun was the flower thief Tian Boguang, who had a mustache and looked very wretched. He also had his head shaved and was frightened when he saw him.

The little nun was Yilin, a disciple of the Hengshan Sect.

"Master Yilin, long time no see!"

Seeing the little nun walking towards him, Chu Yuan stopped and said.

When the evil and black forces surrounded the Qingcheng Sect last year, although the three nuns from the Hengshan Sect had gone there together, they basically did not take any action and just stood by and watched the fun.

Yi Lin was not among the Hengshan disciples who joined in the siege of Qingcheng Sect.

It seems that she was not involved in the last incident.

"Yes, Senior Sword Immortal, long time no see."

Yi Lin nodded.

"Senior Sword Immortal, my master and his companions went to encircle the Qingcheng Sect together before. It was not their intention. They were coerced. Please do not bear a grudge against them..."

Yi Lin explained to Chu Yuan with an apologetic look on her face.

"Don't worry, I know this matter was not the original intention of your Hengshan Sect, so I didn't take it to heart."

Chu Yuan nodded.

"Brother Chu, why don't you introduce me to who this is?"

At this moment, Ren Yingying's faint voice came from the side.

As soon as Chu Yuan heard Ren Yingying's somewhat resentful voice, he knew that she must be thinking of something wrong.

"Yingying, this is Master Yilin from the Hengshan Sect. During the Hengshan City's hand-washing ceremony last year, she was chased by flower thieves and was rescued twice by the Qingcheng Sect..."

Chu Yuan introduced Yi Lin to Ren Yingying.

"Master Yilin, this is my wife Ren Yingying!"

Then Chu Yuan introduced Ren Yingying to Yi Lin.

"A hero saves a beauty?"

Ren Yingying frowned.

"It wasn't me who saved him. It was my disciple and the Qingcheng Sect who saved him."

Chu Yuan could only explain with a wry smile.

The vinegar smell is so strong!
Sure enough, a jealous woman is very scary.

After hearing Chu Yuan's explanation, Ren Yingying finally felt relieved, and she also realized that Yi Lin was still a little nun.

"Senior Sword Immortal, can Taoists get married?"

Yi Lin's eyes widened when she heard that. She looked at Chu Yuan and Ren Yingying with surprise, as if she had just opened her eyes.

"Yes, there are two types of Taoist priests, one can get married, and the other cannot."

Chu Yuan said.

"So that's it."

Yi Lin patted her forehead gently.

"Why are you and this lecher appearing in Luoyang City together?"

Chu Yuan asked Yi Lin.

"Ever since the last time the Five Mountains Sect participated in the siege of the Qingcheng Sect and was defeated by Senior Sword Immortal alone, the Five Mountains Sect has undergone a major change. Sect Leader Yue abdicated and handed over the position of Sect Leader to Young Hero Linghu. Our Hengshan Sect was originally threatened by Yue Buqun with the lives of ordinary disciples, so the Sect Leader had no choice but to agree to merge with the sects."

"So after we came back, my master and the other two sect leaders were originally planning to withdraw from the Five Mountains Sect, but Young Hero Linghu was so righteous that he stabbed himself three times to atone for his master's sins."

"Hero Linghu was seriously injured and will not live long. I came to Luoyang City on the orders of my master to find a famous doctor to treat him."

"It is said that in the area of ​​Luoyang City and Kaifeng Prefecture, there is a famous doctor who can bring the dead back to life. We in the Five Mountains Sect are all looking for him."

Yilin told Chu Yuandao.

Chu Yuan: ...

Chu Yuan was speechless. Linghu Chong was on the same old path of getting hurt again!
The famous doctor they were talking about should be Ping Yizhi, the "famous doctor who kills people" from the Sun and Moon Sect.

"The miracle doctor you are talking about lives in Kaifeng Prefecture, not in Luoyang City."

Ren Yingying suddenly said.

She also heard that the miracle doctor that the Five Mountains Sect was looking for was the "famous doctor who kills people" Ping Yizhi.

As the Holy Lady of the Demon Cult, she happened to know Ping Yizhi's location.

"You actually know where this miracle doctor is. Thank you, Sister Ren."

Yi Lin heard this and said with joy.

"It may not be easy for you to get this person to help. Although he has extraordinary medical skills, he has a strange personality. If you want him to save people, you must be prepared to be troubled."

Ren Yingying reminded Yi Lin.

"As long as we can save Young Master Linghu, we can agree to any conditions."

Yilin said.

"Thank you, Sister Ren. I still have to go inform Master, so I'll take my leave now."

Yilin said goodbye and left.

Tian Boguang also followed Yi Lin and left.

When Tian Boguang left, he didn't even dare to look at Chu Yuan. When he saw Chu Yuan just now, his eyes were as if he had seen a ghost.

Because he had been staying with Yi Lin during this period, he suffered inhuman torture every day.

More importantly, the one who tortured him was the most powerful martial arts master in the world, who had defeated all his opponents in both the black and white worlds.

He couldn't resist at all.

"Why is that person staring at you? He looks scared of you?"

Looking at Yi Lin who was leaving and Tian Boguang who was following behind her, Ren Yingying asked curiously.

"That person is the flower thief that day..."

Chu Yuan told Ren Yingying how he punished Tian Boguang.

"You are too vicious, even more vicious than my Three Corpses Brain Pill."

After hearing Chu Yuan's words, Ren Yingying said in surprise.

"Compared to the decent women he had raped before, this punishment is already very light."

Chu Yuan said.

While talking.

The two continued to head towards Green Bamboo Lane in the east of the city.
