Chapter 12 Arriving at Leigu Mountain
Not long after, Wang Gui came back with a package, and relying on his extraordinary hearing, Lu Yuan heard the sound of metal colliding inside the package.
"Sir, these are five hundred taels of silver. To make it easier for you to carry them, four hundred taels are silver notes and one hundred taels are silver ingots. Please count them. If you want all the silver ingots, Wang Gui will go and exchange them for you."
Wang Gui unfolded the package and found several banknotes and dozens of silver ingots inside.
Lu Yuan glanced at it, but did not count it. He said: "No need, if it is missing or you cheat me with fake money, I will cause trouble for you in the future."
Lu Yuan picked up the package and walked out. When he reached the door, he said to Wang Gui: "If someone comes to ask about my whereabouts later, just answer truthfully. As for my identity, you will know later."
While Wang Gui was stunned, Lu Yuan had already left the back hall.
After leaving the shop, Lu Yuan weighed the packages in his hands, bought some clothes, shoes, socks, kettles and other items in the city, and then headed northwest.
He did not buy a horse to ride on, but used light skills to travel.
The light kung fu practiced by Lu Yuan is Lingbo Weibu.
Lingbo Weibu has the effect of exercising internal strength when practicing. Suzhou is nearly two thousand miles away from where Lu Yuan wants to go, so it is just right to practice internal strength while traveling.
The place Lu Yuan wants to go on this trip is Leigu Mountain.
Leigu Mountain is the place where Su Xinghe set up a rare chess game in the original work to choose a place for Wu Yazi to pass on as his successor. Wu Yazi hid in Leigu Mountain.
Lu Yuan manifested his soul into Wang Yuyan's body, so of course he had to go to Leigu Mountain. Among other things, Wu Yazi's inner strength, why would he give it to Xu Zhu's little bald head? He could get it himself, wouldn't it be delicious?
During the journey, Lu Yuan basically wandered around the barren mountains and slept in the wilderness, eating game and drinking mountain spring water. He only occasionally went to the city to have a tooth ceremony, buy some clothes and shoes, and inquire about the route.
Did you go astray?
Leigu Mountain is located in the south of Song County, Henan, and north of Quyuan Gang. It is nearly two thousand miles away from Suzhou in a straight line. Wouldn't it be great fun if we ran in the wrong direction?
On this day, Lu Yuan arrived in a small town and saw several people shouting in the city market that the world was going to perish, that all living beings would be destroyed, and that only Mingzun could come to the world to save the world...
Lu Yuan listened, why do these words sound so familiar?
Ming Zun?
Isn't this a thing of the Ming Dynasty?
How many of these people are Mingjiao disciples?
Lu Yuan went to a tea shop and ordered a bowl of tea. When he paid a few copper coins to the old man who made the tea, he asked casually: "Old man, what are those people over there talking about?"
I saw the old man with a respectful look on his face: "That is Ming Zun's disciple, he is teaching us how to welcome Ming Zun into the world and save the world!"
Lu Yuan left the tea shop without asking any more questions or drinking the bowl of tea.
This Ming Cult dared to preach so openly in the city, which showed that they had great power in the city and were not afraid of being discovered. Lu Yuan did not want to conflict with the Ming Cult for the time being, so he avoided it.
After asking for directions in the city and buying some items, Lu Yuan hit the road again.
But while walking on the road, he was still thinking about Mingjiao.
Mingjiao was introduced from Persia during the Tang Dynasty, and was also called "Manichaeism" and "Zoroastrianism". This religion had a profound influence on Chinese history. In the future, the White Lotus Sect and Zhu Yuanzhang were related to it.
Lu Yuan remembered that a few decades later, Fang La, who rebelled during the Huizong period of the Song Dynasty, would be a member of the Ming religion. According to what is recorded in Yitian, that Fang La was still the leader of the Ming religion!
"According to historical records, Fang La should have been in his mid-twenties at this time. I wonder if he has become a leader? Have you learned the "Great Shift of the Universe"? Eh..."
"It seems that there really may be a "Great Shift of the Universe"!"
Lu Yuan remembered the description in Yitianzhong. The "Great Shift of the Universe" was originally a magical protective skill of the Persian Mingjiao. It has existed for a long time, and it is very likely that it already existed. However, the martial arts on the Holy Fire Order were created by Huo Shan, an old man in the mountain.
It shouldn't be possible now.
Lu Yuan had an idea in his mind - go get "The Great Shift" and have a look!
"To be able to master "The Great Shift of the Universe", one's martial arts should not be weak, but in Tianlong's era, he might not be among the top masters. That's why Mingjiao is so honest and does not cause trouble in the martial arts world.
Of course, the Mingjiao loves rebellion. I guess they don’t regard themselves as martial arts people and have no time to deal with trivial matters in the martial arts world. They are just accumulating strength in various places to plot rebellion.
Comparing people to people is so irritating. Murong Fu and Murong Bo don't have the pattern of Mingjiao. They expect to cause trouble in the world every day. How can they restore a country of birds?
Learn more from other people's Ming religion, preach and recruit followers, save food and raise money, and prepare an army. This is the real behavior to cause trouble!"
"My thoughts have gone wrong, my thoughts have gone wrong. Whether the Murong family can recover is none of my business."
"If my conjecture is true, and the time my soul travels in this world is linked to the time I sleep, then I may only stay in this world for more than ten years at most... Rebellion and becoming the emperor have nothing to do with me.
I’d better think about how to collect more martial arts in this world.”
"When I have achieved great success, I must go to Mingjiao and borrow "The Great Shift of the Universe" to read."
After traveling for another eight or nine days, Lu Yuan finally arrived in Song County. He took a bath in the town of Song County, changed his clothes, and found out where Leigu Mountain was. Lu Yuan went to Leigu Mountain.
"Mr. Congbian" Su Xinghe was quite famous in this area. Lu Yuan spent some money and easily asked where Su Xinghe was.
Lu Yuan didn't understand Su Xinghe's operation. Are you afraid that Ding Chunqiu won't be able to find you if you spread your reputation so loudly?
Of course, this may also be Su Xinghe's deliberate attempt to spread his fame in order to attract outstanding young people, from whom he can select talents to inherit Wu Yazi's mantle.
"But now that I'm here, Wu Yazi doesn't need to find another successor!"
Lu Yuan carried his package and climbed up to Leigu Mountain. Su Xinghe was located in a valley in Leigu Mountain. The valley was full of pine trees and there were three wooden houses.
Lu Yuan arrived here without much effort.
There is a big tree in front of the wooden house. A person is sitting under the big tree, staring at the chessboard on a large bluestone in a daze. The man is frowning, as if he is troubled by the situation of the chess game.
It wasn't until Lu Yuan reached three feet that he raised his head.
This man was a short, thin old man with white hair and beard. He asked Lu Yuan: "Why are you here, Master?"
Lu Yuan smiled and said: "I have heard for a long time that 'Mr. Chongbian' is a very good chess player, so I came here to play a game with him."
Without waiting for Su Xinghe to reply, Lu Yuan sat down opposite him, looked at the endgame on the bluestone chessboard, and said with a smile, "How about this endgame?"
Lu Yuan directly picked up a white stone from the chess box and dropped it on the chessboard.
Su Xinghe didn't say anything, picked up the black pieces and started playing chess with Lu Yuan.
Lu Yuan was not weak at chess. He had already learned Go, and his original body Wang Yuyan had also learned it. Moreover, he found that after his soul transformed into Wang Yuyan, his memory and mental arithmetic abilities were greatly enhanced. He had played against Murong Fu, and Murong Fu was no longer
its opponents.
And Murong Fu could go as far as Duan Yanqing when faced with the "Zhenlong Chess Game" (Note: In the original work, Duan Yanqing lost more than twenty pieces, and Xu Zhu went up and made a random move to save Duan Yanqing).
