Volume 19: Legend of Lu Xiaofeng Chapter 535: Flowing Water Attic
Liushui Pavilion.
In front of Liushui Pavilion, there is a corridor with red railings, which is built in a luxurious and elegant manner.
There is a stream outside the corridor, which flows into a deep pool. The pool is surrounded by green grass and trees. The scenery here is quiet and beautiful.
There were actually nine people in the attic.
The man sitting there has a fair face and a slight beard, and wears a brocade robe and a pearl crown. He is looking at a painting beneath a palace lantern.
The eight people standing there were respectful and silent, and seemed to be his servants.
When Su Weiyun stepped into the door, these nine people did not react at all.
“Why did you invite these nine people here when Gong Jiu is not here?”
The old man also entered the pavilion and said, "Doesn't it take nine people to replace Gong Jiu?"
Su Weiyun looked at the nine people for a long time and said, "This joke is really not funny."
He had seen that these nine people were not real people, but were disguised as human beings made of wood, painted in various carefully mixed colors, and wearing real clothes and real shoes.
——What’s the use of these nine strange wooden men here?
The old man began to explain to Su Weiyun: "You must have heard that there is a bronze formation in Shaolin Temple!"
Su Weiyun said: "I've heard about it. It is said that many senior monks in Doulin could not get through, and were beaten all over their bodies."
The old man said: "The principle of the bronze man formation is actually not much different from the mechanical wooden man made by Zhuge Kongming in the past, but it has been integrated with the martial arts formation, making it more mysterious and wonderful."
Su Weiyun said: "Of course you have such skills."
The old man smiled and said, "I am a humble man, but I made these nine wooden figures. This is also where Gong Jiu usually practices his skills."
Although this attic looks gorgeous on the outside, it is not very big on the inside. The positions where the nine wooden men stand happen to be the nine main positions. It would be very difficult to dodge in this formation.
Su Weiyun asked: "Why are you telling me this?"
The old man said, "Because if you want to punish Gong Jiu on behalf of the emperor, he will probably activate the mechanical wooden figures here to attack you together."
Su Weiyun asked calmly: "He dares?"
The old man answered confidently: "He dares."
There was nothing that Gong Jiu was afraid of. Not only was he an expert in martial arts, but he was also hysterical and would do things that ordinary people wouldn't!
“You can try it now!”
The little old man suddenly touched the eyeballs of the wooden man sitting on the chair.
boom!
All the wooden men started moving at once. Although they were made of wood, they were not clumsy. They walked with the wind and their punches were powerful!
Ding, ding, ding!
The eight standing wooden men all attacked Su Weiyun, but Su Weiyun stood still, raised his arms to block, changed direction, and took all the attacks.
He actually took the wooden man's blow easily with his mortal body!
The old man suddenly exclaimed: "It turns out that Master Su's inner strength is so miraculous, no wonder he dared to come to my Nameless Island again!"
Su Weiyun calmly dealt with the wooden man formation and said, "I'm afraid I'm going to break something again!"
The advantage of this wooden man formation lies in the hardness of the wooden men. The wooden men have no vital parts, so even if you hit them with a punch or a palm, it won't matter.
But if it punches you, you will not be able to bear it, so it can punch and attack without any scruples.
However, it now seems that the person who has no scruples at all is Su Weiyun.
Su Weiyun fought with the wooden men for more than ten rounds, but these wooden men could not do anything to him.
"open!"
He shouted loudly, and suddenly stood in the center, catching the arms of the eight wooden men at once, and then exerted his internal strength to shake them all away!
Bang, bang, bang, bang!
After eight loud noises, the eight wooden figures were shattered into pieces, with their arms and thighs broken off to one side, looking extremely miserable.
The old man's expression changed for the first time, and he said, "Master Su has achieved great success. Congratulations!"
Su Weiyun slowly finished his exercise and sighed, "It's a pity that the wooden man has been completely destroyed, and Gong Jiu still hasn't come out to see me. Even if the emperor can forgive him for the previous time, it will be difficult to forgive him this time."
The old man said, "It's not difficult."
"oh?"
"Everyone should forgive him this time."
"Why?"
The old man suddenly said, "Because he is breaking through to become a god!"
…
The water outside the door was flowing, and the sound was very light.
However, this gentle sound hits people's hearts and makes them feel more nervous.
Su Weiyun asked: "Is he qualified to break through to the level of a god?"
The old man said: "Of course I have to thank you for this."
Su Weiyun asked: "Why?"
The old man said, "Because you took away his sandman!"
Shaman had been Gong's most beloved lover for ninety years, but now he was in the capital, living in the palace .
Su Weiyun asked: "By taking away Shaman, am I helping him?"
The old man said, "You don't understand Gong Jiu. Gong Jiu has been a very arrogant person since he was a child. When I say 'arrogant', I mean 'lonely' and 'proud'. There are many arrogant people in this world, but no one is as special as him."
The old man chose his words carefully and spoke in considerable detail.
Su Weiyun said: "People who are arrogant often have fatal weaknesses."
The old man agreed: "Not bad!"
"He became my disciple when he was very young. I worked hard to train him to become a peerless master. However, even though he is gifted and has extraordinary aptitude, he still has to pass two levels if he wants to become a god."
Su Weiyun asked: "Which two levels?"
The old man said, "The first level is me."
Su Weiyun asked: "You?"
The old man said: "He is particularly aloof and arrogant, so he will not tolerate others being superior to him."
Su Weiyun asked: "You can't do it either?"
The old man actually nodded: "I can't do that either."
Su Weiyun suddenly seemed to remember something and said, "So you have always let him be the master of Wuming Island, letting him make all the decisions, and trying to elevate his position?"
——In the famous hall, Gong Jiu sat in the main seat; on matters big and small, the old man would try his best to let Gong Jiu make the final choice.
The old man said: "I can't change his character, so I can only cultivate him in this way."
"You really took great pains!"
Even Su Weiyun had to sigh that the old man might be the best master in the world.
"So Gong Jiu has passed the first level."
The old man sighed and said, "It's a pity that he still has a second difficult level. It's the level of Shaman!"
Su Weiyun said: "Since ancient times, heroes have had difficulty with love, this is also normal."
The old man said, "It's not about love. Shaman is much more than just a lover to Gong Jiu."
Su Weiyun asked: "What is that?"
The old man said: "It is love, it is mother, it is master, it is the ice flower under the sea that cannot be obtained!"
"There are so many threads involved, it's too tangled, I can't sort it out."
Su Weiyun frowned. Gong Jiu's complex and subtle feelings for Shaman were beyond the understanding of ordinary people.
The complexity and twists and turns involved may be no less than any other peerless martial arts.
The old man looked serious and said slowly: "I even think that one day, Gong Jiu will die under Shaman's whip!"
"But thank you for making a decision for him that he could never make!"
Tick, tick, tick.
Just as the old man finished speaking, there were sounds of footsteps outside the pavilion, mixed with the sound of flowing water, which made people feel relaxed and breath-holding.
The steps were steady and powerful, and definitely not the steps someone like Gong Jiu would take.
But when Su Weiyun turned around, the person who came was Gong Jiu!
