Chapter 112 Nine Heavens Phoenix King
Zhao Wumian always kills when he strikes.
Since these people started fighting and couldn't defeat him, they naturally died.
He quickly searched the soul and obtained the "With the Beast Forgetting Machine" and "Eight Methods of Mimicry" that he was interested in.
"Good knife skills."
After Zhao Wumian finished speaking, he killed the Meng brothers with two swords.
Xiao Kui fluttered over, landed on their corpses and stomped and bit them to vent its anger. If it wasn't afraid that Zhao Wumian wouldn't like it, it really wanted to let those birds come down and eat them all. It didn't do anything to offend anyone but was caught, and it almost never saw its owner again!
"Have you got the Ice Chi Grass?"
Chang Meizhen ran over and looked at the barrier with some regret: "I still want to go in and take a look."
"Let's go then."
Zhao Wumian said: "I saw that these people were not good people, so I took precautions. Before they collapsed, I detonated them in advance."
After saying that, he picked up Xiaokui and walked in.
Chang Meizhen was overjoyed and followed him through the Shuiyue barrier.
Zhao Wumian returned to the tomb and could now study it slowly.
He had just inhaled a piece of Ice Chi grass, and his remaining lifespan increased from "3" to "4", which was cause for celebration.
The biggest drawback of the "Eating Qi to Replenish Organs Method" is that it can only absorb living things. Once it leaves the soil, even if the medicinal effect is retained, the effect of replenishing the original Qi will be greatly weakened. Spiritual plants that grow in special environments such as the Blue Spring Flower and the Ice Chi Grass are relatively delicate and it is difficult for them to survive after transplanting.
The remaining one will be given as a gift.
Zhao Wumian used the Hanyue Blade to cut off two pieces of black ice, hollowed out the inside, made a box, and carefully placed the Ice Chi grass inside and sealed it. Using this as a birthday gift was not a small amount.
"Look, there's a letter."
Chang Meizhen was not interested in things like ice grass. She walked around the ice coffin and found a scroll of atlas and a letter covered with dust on the ice bed.
The atlas is "No Suspicion Between Man and Animals", and the envelope of the letter is written with the words "A letter from Tianchou, a close friend".
"Heaven's revenge?"
Chang Meizhen looked confused: "Who is Tianchou? The one in the coffin?"
"Yes, Wu Tianchou, a descendant of Wu Ye."
Zhao Wumian put away the Ice Chi grass, took the letter, and said, "The previous soul search content said that Meng Changfeng rose to prominence because of the "Eight Methods of Imitation" and "Forgetting the Mind of Beasts" left by Wu Yan, a disciple of Li Bai. Since then, he has been looking for the remaining half of the white book, following the footsteps of Wu's descendants, and found this place... The name Wu Tianchou appeared in some idle books in the case library. He was not famous, but he had a brother Wu Tianfang, who was very famous. Of course, at that time, they called him Xiao Tianfang."
"Xiao Tianfang..."
Chang Meizhen thought about it, and suddenly an idea flashed in her mind: "Isn't that the 'Nine Heavens Phoenix King' from a hundred years ago?!"
Zhao Wumian nodded: "This letter should be written by him."
Chang Meizhen suddenly felt a sense of respect.
Xiao Tianfang, the "Phoenix King of the Nine Sky", was originally an evil person. He was famous for his superb light Kung Fu "Phoenix Dances in the Nine Sky" and the art of bird language. It was said that his art of bird language was an innate gift, just like Confucius' disciple Gongye Chang, who could understand bird language. He used it to collect the privacy of people all over the world and made it public, causing unrest in the martial arts world.
Is there anyone in this world who is absolutely clean?
Even among the famous and upright families, there are many people who are hypocritical.
The Shaolin abbot who violated the sexual taboo and raised an illegitimate child, the modest head of Huashan who castrated himself, the Wudang elder who seemed to be highly respected but was actually full of scandals, the most beautiful woman in the world but secretly a whore, the embroidered thief who was called the best detective in the world but was actually crying wolf...
People in evil ways do all kinds of bad things. They are not afraid of scandals, but they are afraid of their whereabouts being exposed and their enemies coming to visit them.
Not to mention those who are on the right path, no one can bear to go from being admired by everyone to being disgraced.
As a result, both good and evil could not tolerate each other and they all called for the killing of Xiao Tianfang.
But Xiao Tianfang had the most powerful martial arts skills in the world, and he had countless birds acting as his eyes and ears. When they saw the situation was not good, they immediately fled far away and could not be caught until the last battle of his life - at Yashan, on the eve of the demise of the Southern Song Dynasty, he tried to assassinate Zhang Hongfan, the great general of the Yuan Dynasty, but failed and died.
Xiao Tianfang, along with Prime Minister Lu Xiufu, Emperor Zhao Bing, and the 100,000 soldiers and civilians who jumped into the sea, died heroically for their country!
After the war, there were 100,000 corpses floating on the sea.
No one in this world can catch the Nine Sky Phoenix King unless he falls into the trap himself.
Now, a hundred years have passed, and all those masters of good and evil who once hated him have turned to dust, leaving only a mess. Only this proud phoenix still lives in the hearts of countless warriors.
Chang Meizhen said: "Ah, his art of animal language is "No Suspicion Between Man and Animal"!"
Zhao Wumian nodded, unfolded the letter and read it, roughly understanding it.
When Li Bai was young, he studied under Zhao Rui, a remarkable strategist and diplomat, and learned many unique skills, including "Su Shu". Therefore, he "raised thousands of rare birds and beasts, and could understand the language of birds and beasts, so they would come when called, without any surprise." Just as Wu Tianfang showed, this is a magical skill!
As long as you practice to perfection, all the beasts and birds in the world will become your ears and eyes. You can know what is happening in the world while staying at home.
Therefore, it is coveted by various factions in the martial arts world.
Zhao Rui and Li Bai were too strong, but he still had disciples, so they all turned their attention to Wu Yan.
After Li Bai's death, Wu Yan, who had the Su Shu in his possession but had not yet cultivated to the point of being able to speak the language of birds and beasts, naturally could not escape his fate in the face of encirclement and suppression from all sides. He was severely injured and died in the secret realm. His descendants were not spared either. Over the following hundreds of years, countless people coveted the Wu family's "Su Shu", forcing generation after generation to hide their identities.
By the time of the brothers Wu Tianfang and Wu Tianchou, the influence of the Wu family had long disappeared, and the "Eight Methods of Mimicry" had also been leaked out and was no longer noticeable. Wu Tianchou continued to roam the world under his original name, and few people associated him with Wu Yan.
He entered Baihua Valley and became a famous doctor, living a law-abiding life.
But his elder brother Wu Tianfang didn't want to live like this.
Hundreds of years of accumulated hatred made him swear to take revenge, and coupled with his talent in "No Suspicion Between Man and Animals", after years of hard practice, he reached the level of spiritual communication and able to control hundreds of birds, search for natural treasures and martial arts secrets, and quickly rose to become the "Nine Heavens Phoenix King" in the martial arts world.
Over the past decade, he had used various private matters to stir up chaos in the martial arts world, and had persecuted several of the Wu family's most serious sects, most of which were destroyed in the turmoil. However, he himself also made countless enemies because of this.
When his enemies couldn't deal with him, they began to find ways to deal with his family.
In the end, Wu Tianchou's wife betrayed Wu Tianchou, the relationship between the two brothers was exposed, and what happened next was natural.
Wu Tianchou was captured and held hostage. Wu Tianfang risked his life to save his brother. At the last moment, he put his dying brother in this hiding place and fed him ice chi grass to keep him alive. He also left a gibbon to guard him, hoping to find a magic medicine to bring him back to life. However, before he could find the medicine, the Southern Song Dynasty was about to be destroyed...
Precious medicines such as the Nine-Turn Resurrection Pill that can bring the dead back to life are rare treasures that can only be encountered by chance.
In the following two years, even with the help of birds, they were unable to find the target. Instead, they learned some other secrets. Later, Zhang Shijie, a famous general of the Southern Song Dynasty, sent a message to him, offering him the Nine-Turn Resurrection Pill in exchange for the assassination of Zhang Hongfan, the chief general who destroyed the Song Dynasty.
Wu Tianfang agreed.
Zhang Shijie directly gave him the resurrection pill.
The pill was indeed real, but unfortunately it had been too long and its efficacy had greatly diminished. After Wu Tianchou took it, he was unable to wake up.
Wu Tianfang was grateful for Zhang Shijie's trust. Even though he knew the assassination would be difficult, he still decided to go all out to repay Zhang Shijie.
Before he left, he left this letter to his brother, explaining some things, but unfortunately he did not succeed...
Wu Tianchou never woke up again.
In the cave, only the gibbon was left, guarding the cave tenaciously for a hundred years.
"..."
Zhao Wumian looked back at the pile of rocks. The gibbon was not dead yet, it had just been knocked unconscious by the shock.
Chang Meizhen's eyes welled up after hearing this story. She glanced at the ice coffin and sighed, "The ice chi grass can only hold on to that strand of vitality for twenty years... He will never wake up again. Good people really don't get rewarded!"
"Coincidentally, what he discovered in the last two years was the burial place of his ancestor Wu Ye!"
Zhao Wumian looked at the contents of the letter: "He found the secret place on Liupan Mountain."
After Meng Changfeng discovered the secret realm, he built the Ten Thousand Beasts Villa on top of it. If Wu Tianfang could succeed in assassinating him, it would not be Meng Changfeng's turn after that. With Wu Tianfang's aptitude, he should be able to practice the correct "With Beasts Forgetfulness" and communicate with spirits, instead of the current "Control Beasts Forgetfulness" and forcibly control...
Chang Meizhen said: "What a pity."
"but."
"but?"
"There is one thing in this letter that even Meng Changfeng doesn't know. What Wu Tianfang asked Wu Tianchou to do when he woke up was to get the atlas of the Eight Methods of Mimicry and find the true inheritance of the Wu family in it, which is also Li Bai's strongest martial arts... It's quite interesting. It seems that there will be another branch line in the future trip to the northwest."
Chang Meizhen was completely confused.
Zhao Wumian simply put away the letter and turned to the gibbon: "The job is done. We have obtained "No Suspicion Between Man and Beast" and the Ice Chi Grass. Next, we will deal with the giant ape..."
Chang Meizhen was surprised: "It's not dead yet? You want to kill it?"
Zhao Wumian said: "Why kill it? It has been guarding for a hundred years. There is no need to guard it any longer. Explain it clearly and let it figure it out on its own."
Chang Meizhen wondered, "'Say'? How do you say it?"
Zhao Wumian walked towards the gibbon step by step, pinched the seal with his hands and cast a spell, converting the whole body's true energy into Su Shu's true energy, and cast "Forget the Beast" and said: "Of course, I will use my energy to talk to it..."
