Chapter 551: We have reached the center of the universe, Xianjian Inn!
"The Palace Master of Lingyue is no longer on Xianling Island." Murong Fu said to Jiujianxian.
"Ah, she moved away from here?" Drunken Swordsman asked in surprise.
Murong Fu asked: "When you were friends with her, how was her cultivation?"
The Drunken Swordsman said: "Her cultivation is unfathomable, but she is more compassionate and doesn't like fighting and killing. She prefers to save the world and save people."
The reason why Li Xiaoyao went to Xianling Island was that he learned that Wang Xiaohu had been there to ask for elixir and cured his seriously ill family member.
Although the Shuiyue Palace on the Fairy Island also teaches magic spells, the technology of alchemy and medicine making is the fundamental one. The elixir they refine can actually revive the dead and make bones flesh.
"The cultivation level of the Palace Master of Lingyue was unfathomable back then. Now she has ascended to heaven. There is only her cenotaph on the island. However, she also left behind a Shuiyue Palace with some disciples. Her identity as the successor is quite special and has some connection with Miaojiang." Murong Fu said, "You can rest assured. Since I am in Yuhang Town, I can handle this matter."
"She actually ascended to heaven? I never expected that." The Drunken Swordsman said, "Then I will have to take my leave for a while. I can't handle your matter by myself, so I have to ask my senior brother to make the decision."
Murong Fu smiled and said, "Aren't you afraid that I will run away?"
The Drunken Swordsman said, "In front of you, I am just an ant. Even my senior brother is just a stronger ant. We are the only ones who should hide from you. Why should you hide from us?"
Murong Fu said: "You are quite self-aware."
The Drunken Swordsman narrowed his eyes, looked at Li Xiaoyao, and said with a smile: "Besides, this kid's family runs an inn in Yuhang Town. I also know who his parents are. This is called "You can escape the monk, but you can't escape the temple."
Li Xiaoyao: “.”
Little did he know that his father, Li Sansi, was a famous "Southern Thief" and Jingtian's apprentice. His family-inherited skill of "Flying Dragon Exploring the Clouds" was no less powerful than Han Lingsha's ability to pick stars from the sky.
It seems that the Drunken Swordsman accepted Li Xiaoyao as his disciple not only because of coincidence, but also because he had done a background check on Li Xiaoyao.
"I was defeated so miserably today. I can't be the only one suffering. I have to find my senior brother and let him learn your skills." The Drunken Swordsman said with a smile, "My senior brother has always been very self-righteous and thinks that his swordsmanship is superb, so he is a bit stubborn. If he can feel the taste of frustration, he may be able to make further progress, haha! Senior Murong, goodbye, goodbye!"
After laughing, the Drunken Swordsman flew away on his sword and disappeared in an instant.
Seeing the envy in Li Xiaoyao's eyes, Murong Fu said: "This is the sword-controlling technique of the Shushan School. If you study hard and practice diligently, sooner or later you will be able to control the sword and ride the wind to eliminate demons between heaven and earth. But you must not learn to drink. Drinking has no good consequences and it is easy to become lonely and helpless."
Murong Fu also spoke with deep sincerity.
He is very responsible towards his disciples and does not want Li Xiaoyao to become a poor Taoist.
A poor Taoist, as the name suggests, is a lonely and poor person.
After the Drunken Swordsman left, Murong Fu continued to recover from his injuries. Once his injuries were fully healed, he would be able to use his great magical powers to release the Qionghua Sect and its people from the Map of Mountains, Rivers, and the State.
Although this parallel world is closely related to the main world, it is an independent space and time. Murong Fu plans to build it into a base and then practice slowly.
His foundation is not much different from that of Queen Mother of the West. What he lacks is only time, and this place gives him time.
When he achieves the status of a celestial being and a divine being, cultivates the five elements and yin and yang to the grand slam stage, and then integrates his essence, energy, and spirit, combining the elements of Fuxi, Nuwa, and Shennong into one, forming the Hunyuan Dao Fruit, and achieving the realm of the Taoist Ancestor, he will be able to split time and space and return to the main world.
At that time, he would make the Queen Mother of the West submit to him and endure humiliation.
Just thinking about it is so exciting!
Murong Fu was not in a hurry, so he was very calm.
Li Xiaoyao and Wang Xiaohu went to Murong Fu to learn skills every day, which surprised the residents of Yuhang Town. They didn't know why the two of them liked to go to Shilipo to play.
Of course, there were also townspeople who came to Shilipo, but they could not see Murong Fu at all. This was exactly Murong Fu's method.
Until this day, when a group of Bai Miao passed by Shilipo, Murong Fu knew that the curtain of the era was about to be opened, and Li Xiaoyao's protagonist fate was about to take effect.
The Dali Kingdom in the first generation of Legend of Sword and Fairy is not ruled by the Duan family and the Baiyi tribe, but occupied by the Miao people. The Miao people respect the Witch King, who is equivalent to the Holy King of the Wheel who combines royal power and divine power and has supreme authority.
Zhao Linger's mother, Lin Qing'er, is the daughter of Zi Xuan, the most powerful descendant of Nuwa, and Lin Yeping, the previous life of Xu Changqing.
Lin Qing'er had a love-sick brain attack and fell in love with the Witch King. She became the Witch Queen and gave birth to Zhao Ling'er.
Originally, Lin Qing'er was a descendant of Nuwa, and the Miao people believed in Nuwa. With Lin Qing'er's magical powers, she could also ensure that Dali would have good weather, peace and prosperity.
Who would have known that in the Dali Kingdom, there appeared an ambitious and gifted man named Moon Worshiper.
This Moon Worshipping leader founded the Moon Worshipping Cult and brainwashed his followers, exerting a huge influence.
The Moon Worshiper also manipulated the ancient water monster, gained many benefits, became very powerful, gradually took control of the situation in Dali Kingdom, and even began to undermine the Witch King.
The Moon Worshiper knew that Lin Qing'er was a descendant of Nuwa and a great threat to him, so he used water monsters to create a flood, slandering Lin Qing'er as the cause of the disaster and inciting populism to kill the Witch Queen Lin Qing'er.
At the critical moment, Li Xiaoyao, a time traveler from the future, appeared, rescued Zhao Linger and her grandmother, and sent them to the Fairy Island, while Lin Qing'er sacrificed herself and sealed the water monster.
The reason why Li Xiaoyao was able to travel through time was that he came into contact with the residual soul of Lin Qing'er in the future. Lin Qing'er used the method of returning to the dream to send Li Xiaoyao back to the past, completing the entire chain of cause and effect.
This is the power of Nuwa's divine power, which can reverse time and space, first forming a result and then completing the cause.
This is also the reason why Murong Fu was not surprised that the Demon Lord Chonglou could send himself to this time and space. The residual soul of Lin Qing'er, the descendant of Nuwa, could travel through time and space, let alone the power of Chonglou.
However, after Lin Qing'er's sacrifice, the Moon Worshiper temporarily lost the water monster, was weak for a while, and was unable to control the overall situation.
He only controlled the Black Miao tribe and sidelined the Witch King, but he was unable to control the White Miao tribe.
The Black Miao tribe, led by the Moon Worshiper, and the White Miao tribe, led by Anu's mother, the Southern Barbarian King, were engaged in a fierce struggle. Over the years, the Moon Worshiper gradually unleashed the Water Monster, and his strength increased greatly. He had already assassinated the Witch King, and found a tree spirit that turned into the Witch King's appearance as a puppet, and monopolized power in the Dali Kingdom.
Because Dali had been suffering from drought for years, the Black Miao and White Miao tribes fought each other for water resources. The situation in the Dali court was turbulent, and the internal friction caused by the war also led to the further weakening of the Dali Kingdom.
The Moon Worshiper knew very well that he controlled the water monster and could be said to be invincible. However, the psychological trauma caused by Lin Qing'er's sealing of the water monster was too strong for him, so he was extremely wary of the descendants of Nuwa and had been inquiring about Zhao Linger's whereabouts for many years.
Until recently, the Moon Worshiper learned that Zhao Linger was on the Fairy Island, and he sent his most capable men to try to abduct Zhao Linger from the Fairy Island in the name of the Witch King.
The Bai Miao tribe was not stupid either. After finding out the news, the King of the Southern Barbarians sent out his capable general Gai Luojiao to find Princess Zhao Linger and reverse the situation.
The troops of both sides set out from Dali Kingdom at almost the same time. Now that the Bai Miao tribe has arrived at Shilipo, the Hei Miao tribe has probably entered Yuhang Town.
Sure enough, not long after, around sunset, Li Xiaoyao hurried to the Shilipo Mountain Temple and shouted to Murong Fu: "Master, Master, I don't know why, my aunt suddenly became seriously ill, and a group of Miao people staying in the hotel gave me a hammer and asked me to go to Xianling Island. I remembered that the drunken swordsman uncle from Shushan said that the Miao people seemed to be harmful to Xianling Island, so I came to find you! You have great magical powers, you can definitely save my aunt, right?"
In the original novel, Li Xiaoyao didn't know where this group of Miao people came from, nor did he know that his aunt was poisoned by the Miao people. So after getting the news from Wang Xiaohu, he took the Sky-breaking Hammer given by the Miao people, cracked the mechanism of Xianling Island, and started a relationship with Zhao Linger. But he was actually used by the Black Miao. The Black Miao used him to break the mechanism of Xianling Island, raided Xianling Island, killed everyone on the island, and abducted Zhao Linger, but was discovered by Li Xiaoyao in the inn. Li Xiaoyao learned the Shushan sword technique at that time, defeated these Black Miao, and saved Zhao Linger.
Li Xiaoyao is a smart guy. Now he knows that his master has great powers. He also heard from the Drunken Swordsman that a group of Miao people are going to the Fairy Island to do bad things. This group of Miao people enthusiastically gave him the Sky-Breaking Hammer and said something like "The tree wants to be still but the wind does not stop, the son wants to support his parents but his parents are no longer there". They also gave Li Xiaoyao a pill, saying that it can prevent miasma.
Li Xiaoyao became suspicious and went to find Murong Fu.
"This is the Sky-Breaking Hammer. The hammer contains powerful spiritual power, which can break the mechanism set by the Lord of Lingyue Palace on Xianling Island. However, breaking the mechanism will be dangerous. Those Black Miao people don't want to take risks, so they want you to test it. If you can successfully break the mechanism, it will be the best. If you can't break the mechanism, at least you can break half of it, which is equivalent to being a scapegoat for them." Murong Fu took the two things handed over by Li Xiaoyao and said, "As for this pill, it is not for preventing miasma at all, but forgetfulness powder. After you take it, you will forget most of the things that happened the day before. This group of Black Miao people are still restrained in the Central Plains and dare not kill people. After all, Dali is a small country and dare not offend the Celestial Empire."
As he spoke, Murong Fu also felt it was very strange.
In the world of Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils, most of the women around him are from Dali.
Now that we are in this magical sword, are we going to continue our past relationship?
I wonder how similar Zhao Linger is to his wife Wang Yuyan.
Li Xiaoyao gritted his teeth and said, "I knew these people had bad intentions. Master, you must save my aunt!"
Murong Fu smiled and said, "That's easy. My injuries have almost healed. I haven't been active for a long time. It's time for me, the great Sword God of Shilipo, to come out. It's just a poison, not a punch from the Demon Lord. It's easy to cure."
At that moment, Murong Fu made a sword gesture and brought Li Xiaoyao with him, and they arrived at Yuhang Town with a whoosh.
"We're here in the blink of an eye?" Li Xiaoyao was surprised.
Shilipo is worthy of its name, and it really takes ten miles to walk there.
However, Murong Fu flew to Yuhang Town in an instant, which made Li Xiaoyao feel the magic of the sword immortal even more.
"With the sword-controlling skills of Chaoyou Beihai and Mu Cangwu, it is natural to reach the destination in an instant after crossing a mere ten-mile slope." Murong Fu said, "You will be able to do the same in the future. Lead the way. I am not familiar with Yuhang Town."
"Master, please follow me."
Li Xiaoyao immediately led the way.
Yuhang Town is not big, not as prosperous as Suzhou, but it is not small either. It is a hub for passenger ships and has a dedicated port, making it much larger than an ordinary town.
Thinking of Suzhou City not far from Yuhang Town, Murong Fu remembered his base camp Yanziwu, but it was a pity that there was no Yanziwu here.
"This is my family's inn." Li Xiaoyao said.
Murong Fu stopped at the door of the inn and looked at the signboard with the four big characters "Xianjian Inn" written on it.
The Li family has been running an inn for generations, and stealing things is a side job. Previously, the Li family opened the "Xiaoyao Inn", which was later sold. Now, they have opened the "Xianjian Inn" in Yuhang Town.
"Master, is there any problem?" Li Xiaoyao couldn't help asking when he saw Murong Fu looking at the plaque of the inn.
"Your family is not ordinary."
"Why is it unusual?"
“Your home is the center of the universe.”
Li Xiaoyao: “.”
He was speechless and almost suspected that his master had gone crazy.
Fortunately, Murong Fu seemed to be only curious about the name "Xianjian Inn". He quickly entered the inn, came to the bedroom on the first floor, and saw Li Xiaoyao's aunt.
"Your aunt is not an ordinary person either. Unfortunately, the poison in Miaojiang is hard to guard against. I have a Xuanling Yuandan from the Qionghua Sect here, which can cure all mortal diseases. Please give it to your aunt!" Murong Fu took out a green pill, handed it to Li Xiaoyao, and instructed.
The Qionghua Sect is also a major alchemy sect. The Xuanling Yuandan is a common elixir in the Qionghua Sect. To cultivators, it is just an auxiliary to their practice, but to mortals, it is a real miracle medicine.
Li Xiaoyao carefully fed the pill to his aunt and also gave her some water to allow the pill to flow down her throat and into her body.
After about a cup of tea, Aunt Li's face gradually turned rosy. After another half a quarter of an hour, she woke up and asked in surprise, "Xiaoyao, who is this?"
"Aunt, I'm so glad you're okay. You suddenly fainted today. My master said that you must have been poisoned. He also said that you are not an ordinary person." Li Xiaoyao briefly recounted the whole story.
"Are you Xiaoyao's master? Xiaoyao has been going to Shilipo recently and has learned a great sword technique for no apparent reason. I guessed that he had an adventure, but martial arts masters don't like to be disturbed, so I didn't go to check." Aunt Li said, "Thank you for saving me."
"No need to thank me, I just did it for fun." Murong Fu said.
Aunt Li said bitterly, "It must be the work of those Miao people upstairs. Miao people are best at poisoning people. I am also a martial artist and I am strong and healthy. How could I fall ill for no reason? I will settle the score with them!"
