Chapter 435: Almost Failed

"Remember, there has never been an Eagle's Nest. We have never gathered. We all arrived in Shiyan Town today and will go to Wudang Mountain together tomorrow morning."

"Yes, we don't know what Ghost Villa is. We are just here to participate in the Wudang celebration."

Everyone dispersed, and Su Shaoying and Hua Manlou strolled on the streets in the night.

"It seems that everything went well." Su Shaoying smiled, stroking his chin at the same time, wondering whether Taoist Xiao Gu of Bashan had told his uncle about this at this time.

"Yes." Hua Manlou nodded and breathed a sigh of relief. Although there was still a Shihe outside, according to Lu Xiaofeng's words, this person's swordsmanship was extremely high, but he was alone, so there was no need to worry about him having contact with others.

"In that case, let's wait and see tomorrow." Su Shaoying said.

Hua Manlou smiled and nodded, "The Hua family also has a manor in Shiyan. Let's rest there tonight and go up the mountain early tomorrow morning."

Su Shaoying, "..."

He suddenly understood why Lu Xiaofeng was an idler who did not work, but he always had endless money.

…

April 13, early morning.

The bells of Wudang Mountain rang nine times early in the morning, and colorful flags were erected on the mountain and below. At the same time, it was announced that no outsiders would be received today, but on the mountain road leading to the Zhenwu Hall, there were still a constant stream of people going up the mountain.

These people were either officials and wealthy businessmen in the surrounding area, or people from the rivers and lakes who were friendly with the Wudang Sect, and martial arts celebrities who received the invitation to the celebration.

Su Shaoying and Hua Manlou were of course martial arts celebrities, so they were recognized by the Wudang disciples at the archway of the mountain gate early and led all the way to Wudang Mountain.

"The celebration will not start until the evening, how come you are here in the morning?"

The one who greeted Hua Manlou and Su Shaoying was none other than the famous Wudang Taoist Mu. After all, they had eaten vegetarian food together in Jiuhua Mountain and watched the decisive battle in the Forbidden City. They could be called friends anyway.

"I heard that some seniors in the martial arts world arrived last night. As juniors, if we wait until this afternoon to go up the mountain, we will be punished by our teachers when we return." Su Shaoying laughed.

Mu Taoist laughed, "You are talking about Shaolin Iron Shoulder, right? That old guy did arrive last night. Because the old Taoist stayed in Shaolin Temple for one night last time, he was unwilling to suffer a loss and must come to taste the breakfast in Wudang Mountain."

"He lives in Tingzhu Courtyard. It just so happens that Eagle Eye Old Seven, Gao Xingkong and Xiao Gu from Bashan are here too. You can come too." Mu Taoist said with a smile, "It just so happens that there is someone to introduce you to."

"Who is it?" Hua Manlou asked.

"You have been in the Central Plains for a long time, so you may not know him, but Su Shaoying must have heard of his name." Taoist Mu looked at Su Shaoying, "He is the leader of the 36 tribes of the Miao people in Yunnan. When he was young, he once studied martial arts in Bashan. He is also the uncle of Taoist Gu."

In the memory of Su Shaoying's original body, there is indeed this name, "hereditary chieftain, sitting in Tiannan, nobler than a king, flying lion and dragon."

According to Dugu Yihe's explanation, this flying lion chieftain is in the court and in the rivers and lakes. He is highly skilled in martial arts and has a huge influence. Even the Dian Cang Sect, which is known for dominating Yunnan and making all its members rich, has to give him some respect.

"It's him." Taoist Mu smiled, "It just so happened that he had something to do in the Central Plains, and he went to Bashan to meet Taoist Gu, and then they came to Wudang Mountain to join in the fun."

Hua Manlou nodded, and before he found anything wrong, Su Shaoying asked, "Long Feishi and the Taoist priest are also friends?"

Taoist Mu's eyes flashed, and he said lightly, "We have met a few times, so we have some friendship."

Su Shaoying nodded in understanding, "So that's it."

Hua Manlou frowned slightly, thinking.

Then the three of them came to Tingzhu Courtyard together, and heard Gao Xingkong's laughter from afar.

"What's funny, let the old Taoist listen to it?" Taoist Mu pushed open the door and said with a smile.

"It's Long Feishi who is talking about their Miaojiang affairs." Gao Xingkong said, "It's quite similar to the customs of the Minnan Tu people under my Yandang Mountain."

When Long Meng saw Taoist Mu coming in, a gleam flashed in his eyes, but he just nodded lightly and didn't say anything.

"What are the similarities?" Taoist Mu asked.

"They can all drink!" Eagle Eye Old Seven answered, causing laughter.

Then Mu Daoist introduced Su Shaoying and Hua Manlou to Long Meng. The two greeted each other as junior disciples, and then each of them was given a piece of emerald green jade.

Su Shaoying felt a little embarrassed to watch him being silenced by Mu Daoist.

After a few people talked and laughed for a while, Wang Shidai from the Beggars' Sect also came. Following him, there was an old man who looked like a Taoist fireman, who lowered his head to serve the dishes to the few people.

Taoist fireman seemed to be old, so his movements were very slow, but he did not stop.

A dish of braised bamboo shoots, a dish of flat edamame, a dish of mushroom tofu, a dish of Luohan Shangzhai, and a big pot of fragrant rice porridge.

Wang Shidai looked at the dishes on the table and couldn't help but smile to Master Tiejian, "Is this the Wudang breakfast you've been thinking about?"

Master Tiejian smiled, "Is it the breakfast I came for? I came for the Wudang breakfast!"

Everyone laughed, Wang Shidai said to Mu Daoren, "You always drink, why are you drinking porridge now?"

"I want to drink, but today is a big day, and according to the rules, there is no wine." Mu Daoren sighed, then smiled, "So I drank a lot in the past few days."

"And I met a drinking buddy." Gao Xingkong said.

Mu Taoren nodded, "That is indeed a wonderful person."

"But I'm very strange." Hawkeye Seven suddenly said.

"What's weird?" Wang Shibao asked.

"It's strange how a Beijing official who retired from old age and returned to his hometown suddenly turned into a Taoist priest of pyrotechnics?"

After Hawkeye Laoqi said these words, he stopped in front of the Taoist Taoist who was about to go out, and said coldly, "You can't leave, because only you can answer this question of mine."

Gao Xingkong also reacted and immediately said, "Yes, he is the friend who lives by drinking. How did he come here?"

Mu Tao Ren, Iron Shoulder Master, Wang Shibao, and Long Meng all did not move. Hawkeye Laoqi and Gao Xingkong teamed up, which was enough to retain 99% of the masters in the world.

Su Shaoying blinked, but she didn't expect that someone else was chasing Lu Xiaofeng, and he could actually cross paths with Mu Taoist on the way?

Huh? In the original novel, it seems that Lu Xiaofeng took the initiative to find the three of them.

Lu Xiaofeng's eyes flickered, and then he started to pretend to be crazy, saying that he stayed here because he made a bet with a bastard, and this bastard was Lu Xiaofeng.

However, just when Lu Xiaofeng was about to take advantage of the chaos to escape, he found Su Shaoying standing in front of him.

Lu Xiaofeng: (⊙o⊙)

If eyes could kill, Lu Xiaofeng would have stabbed Su Shaoying eight hundred times at this time, but Su Shaoying still smiled and remained unmoved.

"You can obviously go to Wudang Mountain openly, why do you dress up as a pyrotechnics priest to make fun of us?" Su Shaoying asked.

"Do you know who he is?" Gao Xingkong asked Su Shaoying.

"Of course I know." Su Shaoying nodded.

Mu Taoren's eyes flashed, and Wang Shibao asked first, "Who is he?"

Su Shaoying laughed and said, "He came to tease us, called himself a bastard, made a bet with Lu Xiaofeng, and has such extraordinary Qinggong. Counting these things together, there is only one person left in the world who meets the conditions."

Hawkeye Lao Qi clapped his hands and said with a smile, "Sikong reaches for the stars!"
