Chapter 147 Thinking Over the Cliff

"Your Excellency, please stay."

The man in the black robe and bamboo hat was about to leave when he heard a voice behind him. He was stunned for a moment and then slowly turned around.

The two people walked closer, the man was handsome and the woman was beautiful.

When they stood side by side, anyone who saw them would think they were a perfect match.

Zhang Yu smiled and said, "You want this book? I happen to have an extra one, so I'll give it to you."

He handed the book over and took the opportunity to look at the man in black robe, but saw that half of his face was covered by the hat and still could not be seen clearly.

The man took the book, didn't say thank you, and turned to walk out of Wenyuan Bookstore.

Yue Lingshan asked curiously, "This person is so rude, do you know him?"

Zhang Yu was silent for a moment, then shook his head and said with a smile: "He looks a bit like a friend. I must have made a mistake."

The two of them went out in the cold wind and took their respective mounts.

On Chuanmo Street, bookstore clerks hurried past with carts and baskets loaded with new paper.

Yue Lingshan looked up at the sky. The cold sun was setting in the west, the sky was gloomy, and it was obvious that snow was about to begin again.

She whispered, "I should go back."

Zhang Yu said: "Be careful on the road."

Yue Lingshan whispered, "You don't have anything else to say to me?"

The two walked slowly on the long street. Zhang Yu looked at the sky with dark clouds gathering, and suddenly said, "After today, the wind and snow on Huashan Mountain will probably be stronger. The road is dangerous, so you should not go down the mountain again."

Yue Lingshan stopped, looked at him, and walked quickly forward.

As soon as we arrived at the city gate, a cold wind mixed with snow flakes blew in.

Sunny days are only a brief period of calm; snow and wind always come earlier than people expect.

Yue Lingshan mounted her horse and headed north.

When they parted, they remained silent and didn't speak a word.

In the wind and snow, a man in a black robe and cloak walked towards Huashan, flipping through a book as he walked. His pace was neither fast nor slow, and there were only shallow footprints on the snow. He seemed not to be affected by the environment at all.

"Who is he?"

The man in black robe took off his cloak, revealing his beautiful face.

"There are still some hermit masters in the world that I don't know about."

The pair of phoenix eyes stared at the words "Mr. Hongye" on the book, revealing a look of fear.

"The book is 70% false and 30% true. Is it really just a coincidence?"

"But the three-point truth is extremely crucial. Anyone who knows it should be dead."

Lan Hao grabbed the book "The Demon Cult's Cult Leader Was Originally a Girl", his inner energy floating between his five fingers, and a sneer appeared on his face.

"Mr. Hongye? Since you dare to touch the dragon's whiskers, no matter what kind of hairy god you are, wait until I have cultivated the harmonious energy, and then I will pull out this leaf that is pretending to be a ghost."

The book was like sand, slowly leaking out from between fingers, and was picked up by the cold wind and scattered across the mountains.

Lan Hao did not enter Huashan from the Yuquanyuan Road, but chose the dangerous path on the east where only monkeys climbed. He grabbed a vine and leaped up to a cliff that was more than ten meters high.

Looking up, there are steep peaks and heavy snow all over the mountains.

On the opposite side, there were several black spots moving on the cliff, and from time to time they let out a sharp whistling sound, which pierced through the wind and snow.

"A place of extreme yin and gentleness."

Lan Hao had seen the Ming Dynasty's Nine Provinces Imperial Map in the imperial palace. The directions of all the mountains and rivers in the world were all in his mind. Based on Feng Shui, he deduced that there should be a precious land of extreme yin and softness in Mount Xiyue.

"From the perspective of Feng Shui, the land of Xuanyin is where the heroine will prosper."

"Ning Zhongze, the female hero of Mount Hua, has a little reputation in the martial arts world, but she is far from being worthy of the fate of the Xuanyin Land."

“Could it be Yue Lingshan?”

Huashan has not only one Jade Maiden Peak, nor does it have only three main peaks. Within a radius of more than 300 miles, there are countless mountains, gullies, deep valleys, and dark caves. It is not easy to find the Xuanyin place.

To the north of Yunu Peak, there is a black stone mountain.

There are cliffs on three sides and a plank road on the south.

There is not a blade of grass or a leaf on the mountain, only bare rocks. Even insects and birds are reluctant to stay in the mountains.

The iron chain trembled slightly, and Lu Dayou climbed up the cliff with the food box in his hand. On the left side of the cliff, there were three characters "Siguo Cliff", which were drawn half an inch into the stone. It was also because of this that the characters could survive hundreds of years, and would not be erased by the wind and sun.

There are many different opinions about its origin.

There is a rumor that during the pre-Song Dynasty, a female knight named Guo carved it on the stone with a sword.

Later, when the Huashan Sect rose to power, those righteous knights did not believe that these three words with such profound meaning came from vulgar love between a man and a woman.

As a result, the meaning of these three words was gradually misinterpreted. They regarded "Siguo Cliff" as a place given by God to imprison disciples and make them reflect on their mistakes.

"Big Brother!"

"Big Brother?"

"Big Brother, are you still there?"

Lu Dayou stood in front of the stone cave and shouted loudly.

"Sixth Monkey, why are you shouting? You know I'm in the cave, but you come to deliver food every day, but you still shout like a ghost. Aren't you annoying?"

Linghu Chong walked out of the cave, holding a long sword and yawning, obviously having just woken up.

Lu Dayou said with a smile: "Big Brother, you are so carefree and live a life like a god, but I am miserable. I have to walk more than 20 miles up and down the mountain road every day to bring you food."

"Don't worry, when your master punishes you to go to the cliff, Senior Brother will also bring you food."

"Thank you!"

The two men walked into the cave, the light became dim, and there was a large smooth round stone in the cave, covered with bedding.

Lu Dayou opened the food box and brought out a plate of green vegetables, a plate of bacon, a plate of pickled radish, and a bowl of rice. The food was only slightly warm, which was rare in this kind of weather, and Linghu Chong was not a picky person.

"Big Brother, don't you feel anything?"

Linghu Chong wolfed down his food and mumbled, "What does it feel like?"

Lu Dayou looked around and said, "This cave always feels eerie. I didn't even shiver when I walked on a thousand-foot rope on the cliff, but I feel uncomfortable all over here. If you don't come out, I won't dare to go in anyway."

Linghu Chong laughed and said, "We are in the sacred place of Mount Xiyue. The gods of the heavens are watching over us, and the sages of the Huashan Sect are protecting us. What are you afraid of?"

He finished his meal in no time, still feeling unsatisfied. He smacked the food and felt like something was missing in his mouth.

"Sixth Junior Brother, can you bring some wine tomorrow?"

Lu Dayou waved his hands quickly: "Big Brother, have you forgotten how you got to the Cliff of Repentance? There are only five days left, and if I steal wine for you again, wouldn't that be harming you?"

Linghu Chong was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and said dejectedly: "Those two jars of wine at the back were really not stolen by me, do you believe it?"

Lu Dayou said with a smile: "Big Brother, I definitely believe you. My Master's Wife and Little Junior Sister also believe you. But if Master doesn't believe me, there's nothing I can do. Besides, it was you who drank the jar of wine the first time, right? It's not too unfair."

Linghu Chong lay on the bed and sighed, "I have only been on the cliff for half a month. It's nothing. I just want to know who stole the two jars of wine."

Lu Dayou said as he put the bowl and chopsticks back into the lunch box.

"Big Brother, you've been thinking about this for so many days, do you have any clues?"

"As you said, the man hid on the roof and used his strength to punch through the mud seal on the lid of the jar, and used his internal force to suck the two jars of wine out of the hole."

"Such a master is hiding in Huashan Mountain just to have a drink. Isn't he too bored?"

Linghu Chong chuckled and said, "It's quite boring. By the way, is there anything unusual these days?"

"No."

"Junior sister...what are you doing?"

Lu Dayou smiled and said, "I knew that Senior Brother would ask Junior Sister?"

"Do you even know?"

Lu Dayou shook his head and said, "I couldn't find my junior sister these days. The few times I saw her, she seemed very happy. Maybe her swordsmanship has improved again."

Linghu Chong nodded and said, "Little Junior Sister has indeed made rapid progress. She only lost by one move in the duel with Third Junior Brother."

"Big Brother, I'm leaving now. I'll come back tomorrow."

"It's starting to blow hard again, Sixth Junior Brother, be careful on the road."

Lu Dayou walked down the iron rope suspension path carrying an empty food box.

On the Siguo Cliff, a strong wind blew, and hundreds of snow piles piled up overnight.
