Chapter 57: Langhuan Jade Cave
Wang Yuyan had previously heard from Granny Yan that a dangerous person had tried to trick and get close to her mother.
Originally, Wang Yuyan lacked trust in Granny Yan, who was always gloomy and didn't even care about her, and thought she was just gossiping - after all, Granny Yan usually had a bad attitude towards Murong Fu!
However, for the sake of her mother's safety, Wang Yuyan decided to go to the study room. As a result... she heard something without any context, Chu Luren was "criticizing" Murong Fu behind his back!
How could Wang Yuyan bear it?
It’s confirmed, this guy is indeed a bad guy!
Chu Lu Ren: Embarrassing.
"Yan'er, don't be rude!" Li Qingluo said coldly with a frown on her face.
Wang Yuyan, who had always been afraid of her mother, naturally did not dare to contradict Li Qingluo for Murong Fu. However, while lowering her head, she did not forget to glance angrily at the "slanderer".
"Please forgive me for making a fool of myself, Mr. Chu. My daughter has always been bewitched by Murong." After Li Qingluo realized that Murong would not help, her attitude towards him naturally became worse.
Wang Yuyan continued to secretly glance at the slanderer...
"The Xiaoyao Sect disciple mentioned here is referring to that person, right? Don't worry, Master Chu. I will ask people to clean up the Langhuan Jade Cave right away. You can come in and appreciate the martial arts tomorrow!" Li Qingluo subtly thought that when Li Qiushui wrote "kill all the Xiaoyao Sect disciples", she meant to avenge Wuyazi.
The Chu Lu people did not specifically correct this point.
Wang Yuyan on the side was even more convinced that this guy slandered his cousin behind his back and tried to please his mother just to enter the Langhuan Jade Cave!
"Thank you, madam, for your help. Also... I'm actually from Dali, Uncle Duan... Prince Duan from Dali, who asked me, who I'm not very familiar with, to deliver a letter to madam. I'll take my leave now!" Chu Lu Ren said as he quickly put the letter down.
Although there is the possibility of complications, if this letter really angers Li Qingluo, then taking it out after going to the Jade Cave will seem particularly insincere and will make Li Qingluo more likely to bear a grudge against me.
However, Chu Luren discovered that when he mentioned Dali, Li Qingluo's cold and malicious look immediately subsided. When she mentioned "Prince Duan", her eyes became much younger, as if she had reached the age of love again...
Chu Lu Ren guessed that Li Qingluo didn't want others to be present, so he quickly left.
Seeing Chu Luren leaving, Wang Yuyan hurriedly wanted to help Murong Fu explain a few words and expose Chu Luren's tricks, but just as she opened her mouth...
"Yeah, okay... Yan'er, go outside and close the door." Li Qingluo's mind was filled with Duan Lang's letter, and it was obvious that she was not taking it seriously.
Not to mention Wang Yuyan's aggrieved departure, Chu Luren also did not sleep all night after being arranged in the guest room - according to Chu Luren's understanding, if Madam Li suddenly received a letter from the scumbag, eight hundred executioners might rush in at night and chop her into pieces for fertilizer.
So I practiced qigong and regulated my breathing throughout the night, feeling expectant and nervous.
What I am looking forward to is naturally tomorrow’s trip to the Jade Cave!
In the morning, Chu Lu Ren felt a little bit of admiration besides anticipation - nothing happened overnight? Uncle Duan really deserves to be the old scumbag who once relied on scumbags to get to the eighth place on the Heavenly Ranking. Is it okay?
Early in the morning, Liu'er, whom I had met yesterday, came to deliver breakfast to Chu Lu Ren and took Chu Lu Ren to the Langhuan Jade Cave.
On the way, Chu Luren also saw that Grandma Yan was looking at him and smiling sinisterly. After she knew she was discovered, she hid... but she didn't take it to heart.
"Madam has instructed that only Mr. Chu can go in by himself." When they arrived at the door, Liu'er did not follow him.
"Thank you Miss Liu for leading the way." Chu Lu Ren also knew her name at this time.
When they arrived at the Langhuan Jade Cave, Chu Luren realized that this was actually an underwater cave that was half natural and half man-made!
Chu Luren came in alone and found that the room was indeed filled with bookshelves full of classics from various schools.
Probably for the purpose of moisture and moth-proofing, most books are still written on bamboo slips.
Although there are omissions, it can still be regarded as a treasure trove of martial arts in the world.
For example, on the bookshelf with the word "Shaolin", all 72 unique skills are included, and it is only written that "the Yi Jin Jing is missing"!
Chu Lu Ren had even imagined that after he got out, he would transform into Long Aotian and become invincible for the whole world.
But it didn't take long for Chu Lu Ren to realize that he... was overthinking!
First I went to Shaolin, reading one book after another, then I went to Wudang, Emei, Kunlun...
Chu Lu Ren became more and more anxious as he flipped through the pages, as if he was unhappy about something, his brows furrowed. After a long while, he sighed in frustration - it was all "fake".
None of the books could form a badge, and Chu Lu Ren had already figured out the reason!
These so-called martial arts books in the world are not real martial arts collected from various schools and sects, but... gun versions?
To be precise, Chu Lu Ren suspected that these were the martial arts of various schools deduced by the ancestors of the Xiaoyao Sect.
Fundamentally speaking, these are not methods of cultivation, but methods of how to simulate using "Xiao Wuxiang Gong"!
If the real secret is the textbook, then these are just tutorial books, and they are the kind that specifically teach test skills rather than theoretical knowledge.
If Chu Luren really knew the "Xiao Wuxiang Gong" or Murong's "Dou Zhuan Xing Yi" or Mingjiao's "Qian Kun Da Neng Yi" and other force-relieving skills, these " tutorial books" would be very valuable.
If this type of force-dissipating martial arts can exert 70% of its effect when facing unfamiliar martial arts, then it can exert 120% of its effect when facing familiar martial arts!
This was probably the reason why Murong Fu came here so often to borrow books - the Huanshi Shui Pavilion in Murong Villa was probably of the same nature, and... there were probably quite a few treasures of the Xiaoyao Sect that were not available in the Huanshi Shui Pavilion.
It’s just that for Chu Lu Ren, facing the “tutorial book” is rather disappointing. Others may not be able to learn so many martial arts, and it is just right to read the tutorial book and understand the advantages and disadvantages of various martial arts. This is probably why Wang Yuyan can comment on most of the martial arts in the world... But this is not the case for Chu Lu Ren.
Feeling disappointed, Chu Lu Ren couldn't help but sigh...
"You are so rude. Why are you so picky?" Wang Yuyan's voice came at this time.
Li Qingluo only allowed Chu Luren to come in, but Wang Yuyan could obviously ignore this ban - after all, she usually came in quite a lot, but she was just "memorizing questions" for Murong Fu and was not really interested in martial arts.
Originally, Wang Yuyan was dissatisfied with Chu Lu Ren who "slandered Murong Fu behind his back to please her mother". When she heard from Grandma Yan that he really entered the Langhuan Jade Cave, she came to take a look. As a result... she found that this guy seemed dissatisfied with the collection here?
Even if it’s my cousin who comes in, you should be very happy every time, okay?
"Hehe, the Xiaoyao sect has a profound accumulation of martial arts. There is no pick and choose. There is no pick and choose." Chu Lu Ren shook his head repeatedly.
"What Xiaoyao Sect?" Wang Yuyan didn't know anything about the Xiaoyao Sect.
"Nothing..."
"Ah! Mother was really fooled by you and believed your lies! She even took out these secret books that she usually forbade me to read and even forbade me and my cousin to mention?" Wang Yuyan suddenly discovered something.
Chu Lu Ren followed her gaze and looked deep into the jade cave, and saw at the innermost part, a table that seemed to be used to worship the ancestor, with a small incense burner on it. On the wall, where the ancestor's tablet should be hung, there was a painting... that seemed to show a Kun fish flying into the sky and turning into a Peng, and also like a Dapeng entering the sea and turning into a Kun.
And... there are several paper secret books on the desk!
