Hearing this, Ye Qiu’s face was a little ugly.
The purpose of his coming to Wudang Mountain this time was to enter the Scripture Pavilion and read the martial arts. Who knew it would be such a situation.
Damn it, I’ve been tricked！
Ye Qiu cursed in his heart. This old Taoist priest looked kind-hearted, but in fact, he had a bad heart. He was simply…
You old bastard！
Ye Qiu was very depressed and said：
Senior, you think too highly of this junior. The secret manual has been stolen for so many years and has not been found. How could this junior possibly find it？
Besides, more than sixty years have passed. The person who stole the secret manual back then is probably already dead.
Even if this junior has the heart to help find it, there is nothing he can do！
Chongxu Taoist said： “In fact, since the secret manual was stolen, Wudang Mountain has been secretly investigating.
“For over sixty years, I have never given up.”
“After all, what was lost was not one or two secret manuals, but the secret manuals of the entire scripture repository.”
“Master Ye, you don’t know. Before my master passed away, he didn’t eat a single grain of rice or drink a single sip of water for thirteen days and refused to die because he felt that he had no face to meet the ancestors of Wudang Mountain for generations, because the scripture repository was stolen when he was the Supervisor .”
“Just wait until I tell my master. I will exhaust all my strength in my life to retrieve the secret manual. Only then did the master close his eyes.”
“Over the years, the Old Dao has spent a great deal of effort and finally has a clue.”
Oh？
A flash of fine light flashed in Ye Qiu’s eyes, and he hurriedly asked, “What has senior investigated?”
Chongxu Daoist said in a deep voice, “I suspect that the group of masked people who stole the secret manual back then were experts from the Forbidden City.”
Ye Qiu asked, “Why does senior say this？”
Chongxu Taoist replied, “The Old Dao has chased for many years and has not seen outsiders use Wudang kung fu in the Jianghu. That is to say, after those people stole the secret books back then, they did not spread the secret books out.”
”It is very likely that they have hidden the secret books in another place.”
”Thinking about the terrifying skills of those people again, after thinking about it, there is only one force in the Jianghu that has this strength, and that is the Forbidden City.”
Ye Qiu asked again, “Is there any evidence？”
Chongxu Taoist shook his head： “The people in the Forbidden City are all peerless masters. If it was really done by them, then they would not let me find evidence.”
”Even if, by any chance, evidence was found, the Old Dao would have no way to deal with them.”
”That group of people are all peerless powerhouses！”
Ye Qiu smiled bitterly： “Senior, even if it was really the Forbidden City that stole the martial arts secret books back then, I have no way to help you get them back.”
”As you just said, that group of people are all peerless powerhouses.”
”How could I possibly be their opponent？”
”Sect Master Ye, you must not underestimate yourself. The Old Dao has seen countless people, and you definitely have the ability to help Wudang Mountain retrieve the secret books.” Chongxu Taoist seemed very confident in Ye Qiu and continued, “Your martial arts talent, Sect Master Ye, is the first among the younger generation. The Old Dao believes that in a few more years, those old monsters in the Forbidden City will not be your opponents.”
”Actually, the poor Taoist also looked for a person back then and wanted to ask him to help retrieve the secret books.”
”That person agreed, but later, alas…”
Chongxu Taoist let out a long sigh and his face showed a sad expression.
“But what happened later？” Ye Qiu asked eagerly.
“Later, something unexpected happened and that person’s life and death are unknown.” Chongxu Taoist said： “Coincidentally, that person has the same surname as Master Ye.”
Also surnamed Ye？
Ye Qiu was shocked in his heart and thought of a person. Could it be…
“That person is the once number one master in the world, Ye Wushuang！”
Chongxu Taoist said： “Ye Wushuang promised to help Old Dao retrieve the secret manual. He was investigating the Forbidden City in secret and seemed to have found some clues. But unexpectedly, something sudden happened later.”
“More than twenty years ago, Ye Wushuang was besieged and killed by many people and his life and death are still unknown.”
Ye Qiu was a little surprised. He didn’t expect that his father had such a connection with Wudang Mountain.
“Senior, if even Ye Wushuang couldn’t do it, this junior is even less capable. You’d better ask someone else！”
Although Ye Qiu and the Forbidden City are mortal enemies, he didn’t get any benefits. If he promised Chongxu Taoist, wouldn’t he be stupid?
Chongxu Taoist seemed to have expected Ye Qiu’s reaction and said: Master Ye, don’t worry. You have already agreed to Old Dao before.
Ye Qiu rolled his eyes: “Can’t I go back on my word after promise?”
Chongxu Taoist： “…”
After a moment of silence.
Chongxu Taoist said again: Master Ye, as long as you promised to Old Dao and help Wudang Mountain retrieve the secret manual, I won’t let you suffer.
“Although Old Dao has lived in the deep mountains for a long time, I still know something about the ways of the world.”
“The reason why Ye Wushuang promised to help me retrieve the secret book back then was because the Old Dao gave him a incomplete treasure map.
What？
Ye Qiu was shocked in his heart and thought to himself: Could it be that the treasure map that the ghost servant gave me back then was the one that my father got from the Chongxu Daoist?
The Chongxu Daoist continued to say: Although the repository was stolen, resulting in the loss of a large number of martial arts secret books our Wudang Mountain has been established for hundreds of years and still has some depth.
If Master Ye promised the Old Dao to help Wudang Mountain retrieve the secret books, then the Old Dao can let Master Yeadmire the peerless magical skills left by Zhang Sanfeng, the founding founder of our Wudang.
Ye Qiu asked curiously： “Senior, I wonder what the magical skills you mentioned are…”
The Chongxu Daoist smiled slightly and spit out five words from his mouth： “Pure Yang Wuji Gong！”
Suddenly, Ye Qiu’s face was full of shock.
As far as he knew, the Pure Yang Wuji Gong was created by Zhang Sanfeng and was the highest internal strength mental method of Wudang.
This practice cultivates the five internal organs and six internal organs internally, and the muscles, bones. skin and flesh externally, cultivating both internally and externally, combining movement and stillness.
Not only that, but it also has the effect of prolonging life.
Zhang Sanfeng lived to be a hundred years old precisely because he cultivated the Pure Yang Wuji Gong.
As for how old Zhang Sanfeng actually lived, it is impossible to verify now, but according to the record in “History of the Ming Dynasty · Biography of Fang Ji, Volume 187″, Zhang Sanfeng was born in 1247 and died in 1464, living for more than two hundred years.
Zhang Sanfeng was almost active throughout the Ming Dynasty, so much so that a total of sixteen Ming emperors, from Zhu Yuanzhang to Emperor Chongzhen, were all looking for this legendary figure.
Even, there are rumors that Zhang Sanfeng appeared during the Qing Dynasty.
I ask you, for the peerless magical skill created by such a legendary figure, who in the world wouldn’t be tempted？
Naturally, Ye Qiu is no exception.
”Senior, is it true that as long as I promise you and help Wudang retrieve the stolen secret book, you can let me read the Pure Yang Wuji Gong？” Ye Qiu asked.
”Yes.” In order to dispel Ye Qiu’s concerns, Chongxu Taoist said, “The Pure Yang Wuji Gong has always been stored in the Supervisor ‘s residence. Therefore, it was fortunately spared when it was stolen that year.”
”Okay, I promise senior.” Ye Qiu said, “As long as I can see the Pure Yang Wuji Gong, I will help Wudang retrieve the stolen secret book.”
Chongxu Taoist said, “Master Ye, you have to think it through. A gentleman’s promise is as heavy as a thousand gold. Once you promise, you can’t go back on it.”
”Senior, don’t worry. Although I, Ye Qiu, am not a gentleman, I still understand the principle that a man must keep his word and act resolutely.” Ye Qiu said seriously.
”With Master Ye’s words, I can rest assured.”
Chongxu Taoist beamed with joy, like an old fox whose plot had succeeded.
