On an island somewhere in Tai Lake, among the blooming mountain flowers, there are ruins of a huge manor, with ruins and overgrown weeds. It was the former Mantuo Villa.
Hundreds of years have passed, the lady has passed away, and the huge manor has been ruined. At this time, many fences have been installed outside, and there are even arrow towers standing inside the manor. It has become the residence of Zhang Shicheng's soldiers.
The three people from Su Cheng came here quietly and observed the situation here from a distance.
"Sir, are we sneaking in from the side?"
Xiao Zhao asked softly. The soldiers in the manor in front looked like there were only a few to hundreds of people. Once they took action, they would definitely cause a stir.
"It's better to sneak in, I'm not here to kill people."
Su Cheng frowned and said solemnly that he was not afraid of taking action, but there would inevitably be some casualties, which he did not want to see.
And one more thing, he learned from the soldiers in front that Zhang Shicheng should be at Yanziwu, and he didn't want to make too much noise and let Zhang Shicheng get the news in advance.
Whizzing!
Su Cheng carried Xiao Zhao and crossed several feet in the air before entering the villa. Dai Qisi also followed in.
"Xiao Zhao, Mrs. Han, if you were the owner of this manor, where would you put the secret book?"
Mantuo Villa occupies a large area. Su Cheng didn't know where to start for a while, so he asked Xiao Zhao and Xiao Zhao. After all, they were both women, so they might be able to understand what Li Qingluo and her daughter were thinking back then.
"This...this manor faces south and faces north, Li Gua South Fire...Kan Gua Kan Water, judging from the direction of the I Ching Bagua, I will place the secret book somewhere in the southwest. There should be a garden or dense forest there."
Xiao Zhao looked at the layout of the manor, muttered to herself, and then expressed her thoughts.
"Okay, let's go to the southwest and have a look."
Su Cheng immediately agreed. At this time, he remembered that Xiao Zhao also had a family background and was somewhat similar to Wang Yuyan back then. Both of them knew the Yi Jing Bagua.
The three people from Su Cheng walked southwest and found that there were fewer and fewer soldiers along the way. Finally, they came to a side courtyard. As soon as they entered, they saw more than a dozen white bones on the ground not far away. Judging from the degree of corruption,
Definitely not someone who died in recent years.
Could it be that this is the place where Li Qingluo buried someone?
Su Cheng secretly thought, no wonder there are fewer and fewer people along the way. Perhaps in the eyes of the soldiers, this is some kind of cemetery or mass grave.
"Sir, this should be right here. I'll look around first."
Xiao Zhao nodded to Su Cheng, and then walked around the manor with Dai Qisi, not knowing what he was looking at.
However, Su Cheng still has great trust in the abilities of the two of them. Dai Qisi can find the secret passage of the Ming Cult. Just based on this fact, it is known that she has some abilities.
"Sir, I found it. Look here."
After a while, Xiao Zhao's voice came from a distance. After Su Cheng walked over, he discovered that there was a cave in the corner of the courtyard. There were stone steps leading down from the edge of the cave.
"Xiao Zhao, Mrs. Han, let's go down and have a look. I hope we can harvest something."
In fact, Su Cheng didn't have much hope in his heart. From Xiao Feng's time to now, a few of them are only two or three hundred years old, and ordinary paper books can only be kept for twenty or thirty years at most. Even if they are treated with insect and moisture-proof treatments, they will not last long.
It is difficult to exceed a hundred years, unless it is made of some special materials, such as the parchment rolls used for the Great Diversion of the Universe.
Of course, wrapping it tightly with oil paper to reduce oxidative damage is also a way, just like the Nine Yang Manual.
The cave was dark and damp. Su Cheng lit up the torch and the three of them entered slowly. After a while, they came to rows of wooden shelves. There were almost no intact wooden shelves. Each one was broken and covered with moss. There were ancient books on them.
There is no book, not even a piece of paper.
"Sir, this..."
Xiao Zhao stepped forward and checked the conditions on several wooden shelves, but still did not find any secret books.
In this case, no one knows whether the secret book was taken away by someone or whether it was damaged after more than a hundred years.
Su Cheng held a torch and walked back and forth in the cave, checking the situation here.
When Li Qingluo moved the secret book here from Langya Paradise, it was probably for Duan Zhengchun. She herself didn't care about martial arts. Moreover, after Li Qingluo died and Wang Yuyan also left, the secret book should have been abandoned here.
In fact, the secret books on the wooden shelves in the cave are only second- and third-rate stuff in the world. They can get the best, increase their knowledge, and supplement the Huashan Sect's heritage. But even if they are gone, it is not a big deal.
What Su Cheng really wants to obtain is the inheritance of the Xiaoyao Sect. Today, there are only a few places where the secrets of the Xiaoyao Sect may have been left.
Mantuo Mountain Villa is one of them, and there is also the Piaomiao Peak Lingjiu Palace. As for the Langya Blessed Land in Wuliang Mountain in Dali, the possibility of hiding secrets is the least likely.
Boom!
Su Cheng patted the surrounding walls and made a final attempt. Then he checked the ground, but he didn't expect that everything was fine.
Finally, Su Cheng came to several wooden frames in person, and after looking at the situation in detail, he discovered some abnormalities.
Like books, it is absolutely impossible for wood to be preserved for two to three hundred years in such a humid environment. According to common sense, these woods will be completely damaged in a few decades, but the current situation is that these
The wooden frame was only partially damaged.
Bang bang!
Su Cheng split the wooden frame with a palm, and as the sawdust and dust dispersed, something appeared in front of his eyes. A yellowed ancient book fell, and then he took it into his hand.
Small phaseless power?
Seeing the name on the book, Su Cheng felt happy. Although he did not lack secret books, he could also use them for people around him. Especially this small Wuxiang Kung Fu, I believe it would also be of great help to Xiao Zhao.
I have said before that some martial arts are indeed powerful, but not everyone can practice them. The Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms are the most powerful in the hands of Xiao Feng, Tai Chi and Tai Chi Sword are the most powerful in the hands of Zhang Sanfeng, and Wei Yixiao
It is because he is gifted in Qinggong.
Throughout the ages, no matter what you do, you have to pay attention to talent and qualifications. This is a helpless thing.
One more thing, not to mention anything else, if Su Cheng wants to strengthen the Huashan Sect, or even restore the glory of the Quanzhen Sect, the most basic condition is to have more secret books, so that those disciples can choose the one that suits them according to their own situation.
Cheats.
"Xiao Zhao, Mrs. Han, I found it, you can take a look."
After reading it roughly, Su Cheng was convinced that the secret book was indeed true, and then gave the secret book directly to Xiao Zhao and the others.
Su Cheng definitely believed in Xiao Zhao, and although Dai Qisi had complicated thoughts, for now, she and he were in the same camp. It would also be good for Su Cheng to increase the strength of these two people.
"Sir, no, this is too precious..."
Xiao Zhao subconsciously refused, as did Dai Qisi. The two of them already owed a lot of favors, so going to get this secret book seemed a bit greedy.
"Take it, your strength has improved, it is also good for me, and I forgot to tell you that after practicing this martial arts, you can live longer and look younger..."
As soon as these words came out, Xiao Zhao and the two refused and could no longer say anything.
No matter in which era, no woman can resist the temptation of ageless appearance.
