Chapter 366: Liu Family Secret Skills

Chapter 366: Liu Family Secret Skills
The only person who can be called the old lady in the entire Tianyin Mansion is naturally Chu Qing’s grandmother.

Chu Qing had mixed feelings about this old lady. She couldn't be said to be bad, but she wasn't very good either.

But since the old man has invited me, I have to give him face.

After letting Su Ning really think it over, he would go directly to find him, and Chu Qing went to the old lady's yard.

The yard was still deserted. I was led into the house by an elderly woman and saw the old lady sitting in the hall drinking tea.

When he heard Chu Qing's footsteps approaching, he looked up:
"You came quite quickly, and you didn't treat an old woman like me lightly."

"..."

Chu Qing was speechless for a moment:
"Grandma is joking. Chu Qing doesn't dare."

"I heard about the battle yesterday. Tianyin Mansion owes you a big favor."

The old lady stood up:
"You come with me."

After hearing her last sentence, I thought we were going to have a good chat, but the next sentence she said she wanted to go with her. I have to say that her thinking is quite jumpy.

Chu Qing had no choice but to follow her.

Going deep into the courtyard, we passed by the pool where Wu Qianhuan was treated.

The deeper you go, the more remote the path becomes.

Chu Qing didn't know where the old lady was taking him. He was a little curious, but he didn't ask.

Anyway, she won't endanger her own life.

And even if he had malicious intentions, Chu Qing was skilled and courageous, so he would not be afraid of anything.

Although the old lady was old, her steps were not slow at all. The two of them walked one in front and one behind, and finally arrived at a rockery in the deepest part.

She reached out and felt around in a depression in the rockery, and the rockery suddenly moved away, revealing a secret passage.

The old lady turned her head and glanced at Chu Qing:
"Do you dare to go in with me and take a look?"

"Grandma would never hurt me."

Chu Qing chuckled.

"That's not certain."

The old lady walked in mumblingly, and the secret passage went all the way down. The surrounding area of ​​the corridor was a little damp.

The path was quite long, and after walking for a cup of tea, they arrived at a secret room.

As you step into this room, the damp feeling is immediately isolated outside, and the elegant and quiet fragrance hits you in the face. On the wall right in front of you, there is a portrait hanging.

There is incense on the altar, and the smoke is curling up, which has not yet dissipated.

The old lady glanced at the portrait and said softly:

“This is a portrait of the ancestor of the Liu family. Back then, he single-handedly created the unique skill of [Supreme Heavenly Sound] and laid the foundation for the Heavenly Sound Mansion.

"Chu Qing, do you think that Han Qiujun of the Star-Splitting Mansion's [Nine Transformations of Star-Splitting] is extremely powerful?
"In comparison, my Tianyin Mansion's [Supreme Heavenly Sound] and [Hundred Bloods and Thousands of Killings Song] are mediocre?"

"This……"

Trina blinked.

If I have to say, the nine stars in a row of [Nine Transformations of the Star-Splitting] are indeed very good.

Although from Chu Qing's current perspective, the limits of this martial art are ultimately limited.

But if this skill is accomplished, it will be enough to travel across the whole place.

There are three prefectures, three sects and three clans in Lingbei. Among these three prefectures, Han Qiujun, who has obtained nine stars in a row, almost has the appearance of ruling the world.

In comparison, [Supreme Heavenly Sound] is better. Liu Zhaohua's injuries from the fight with the Lord of Arms have not yet recovered, but the power it can exert is extraordinary.

But [Song of Hundred Bloods and Thousands of Kills] is indeed a little disappointing.

But it is difficult to tell the truth about what I think.

The old lady glanced at him and finally sighed:

"I am an unfilial descendant. I have made you look down upon our Tianyin Mansion."

Having said this, she paused for a moment and said slowly:

"But it's not surprising that you don't know...

"Even Tianyin Mansion hasn't had such a brilliant person for many years.

“In the past, the Liu family’s ancestor actually created three magical skills.

"【Supreme Heavenly Sound】Use yourself to communicate with heaven and earth, and every breath you take can bring you the wonderful sound of nature.

“Even if my body doesn’t move and my muscles and bones remain unchanged, I can kill thousands of soldiers with just one breath!

"This level is something your mother can never reach...

“And don’t even mention her. Since the passing of the ancestor, in the hundreds of years of inheritance of the Liu family, only the third-generation ancestor Liu Shizhao has reached this level.

"When it comes to your mother and your uncle's generation, your mother's qualifications are better than your uncle's, but she is a spoiled child...

"For the sake of love, that's all. I won't say this any more. You won't like to hear it. If I say it too much, you'll scold me in your heart for being an old fool.

"In the final analysis, you all, even your uncle, are resentful towards Gongsun Zongheng.

“But I am quite grateful to him.

"If it weren't for him, your mother wouldn't have been able to learn the [Supreme Heavenly Sound] martial art."

As she spoke, she came to the left side of the portrait, where there were rows of shelves.

What was on the shelf were not books, but three slate tablets.

She took the first piece and gave it to Chu Qing.

Chu Qing was stunned. What was recorded on the stone slab was the inner strength of [Supreme Heavenly Sound].

Unsure, I looked up at the old lady and heard her continue:
"The second magical skill created by the Liu family's ancestors is called [One Sound, Ten Thousand Aspects]!
"One sound gives rise to all things, all things manifest in all forms, and all forms can be killed!

"In the 123rd year of the Daqian era, a peerless master who calls himself the Evil Devil from the outer domain leads a thousand troops and dreams of entering Zhongzhou and ruling the world.

"At that time, there were no Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors in the world.

"The wise men in the Jianghu rose up to stop the enemy but were defeated. The ancestor held the Gu Zhang Qin horizontally on his knees and plucked the string with one finger. The sound gave rise to all things. He blocked the enemy for three days and nights by himself, strangled 17,000 bandits, severely damaged the evil demons from outside the domain, and finally joined forces with the Daqian soldiers to annihilate the enemy.

"This battle is famous all over the world!"

She handed the slate to Chu Qing again:
"Unfortunately, [One Sound, Ten Thousand Aspects] not only requires extremely high qualifications, but also requires a very deep foundation in music theory.

“Since the passing of our ancestor, no one in Tianyin Mansion has acquired this magical power.

"The only way is to comprehend a little from this [One Sound, Ten Thousand Aspects], create [Hundred Bloods, Thousand Kills Song] and other means, and enrich the appearance..."

When she said this, her face was full of dejection.

When Chu Qing looked at the stone tablet in his hand again, it was indeed the secret book of [One Sound, Ten Thousand Aspects].

It contains not only mental techniques, but also extremely complex musical scores.

One sound is not just one sound, and myriad things are more than just myriad things.

Chu Qing just glanced at it and narrowed his eyes slightly. This method was completely different from the Eight Sounds of the Heavenly Dragon.

The momentum is so huge and majestic that it is far beyond ordinary comparison!

The old lady came to the third slab, reached out her hand and felt around for a while, then whispered:

"This was created by our ancestor in his later years. There are words on the stone tablet, and it is called [Lai].

"But it didn't say whether it was internal energy or music. Some descendants have tried to comprehend it for many years but found nothing... But our ancestors treasured it and passed it down, so there must be something special in it.

"Unfortunately, the younger generation's comprehension is far inferior to that of our ancestors. After several generations of study, they are still unable to comprehend the mystery.

"We can only put it...on the shelf."

She handed the third slate to Chu Qing as well, and then said to Chu Qing:

"If you weren't there in this battle, Tianlai City would be destroyed, and Tianyin Mansion would be ruined.

"Although I have some complaints about your father, I don't have any complaints about you...

“I have thought about how to compensate you for the past twenty years, and now you have done this great deed and saved the entire Tianlai City.

“Although the Liu family has many disciples, their core martial arts will never be passed on to outsiders. However, it is different for you.

"You can choose any one of these three martial arts."

She pointed to the other side, where there were no longer stone slabs, but some extraordinary-looking treasures:
"You can also choose any of these treasures."

Chu Qing looked at the three stone tablets in his hand, then looked at the things on the shelf next to him. After pondering for a moment, he sent [Lai] and [Supreme Heavenly Sound] back, leaving behind a copy of [One Sound, Ten Thousand Appearances] in his hand.

Then he came to the treasures, and scanned them one by one, finally stopping at a guqin. Touching his chin, Chu Qing smiled and said:

"That's it."

The old lady looked in the direction where Chu Qing was looking, and her expression suddenly became extremely complicated.

After falling on Chu Qing again, she asked softly:
"Once you've made your choice, you can't regret it. Even if you can't practice it, you can't come back and change it..."

"it is good."

“This zither… contains murderous aura, and the mere act of touching it will trigger the inner demons.

"Do you really want to choose?"

"It's so amazing, so naturally I have to choose."

"it is good."

The old lady had no intention of regretting:
"Transcribe the contents of the stone tablet. Take this ancient zither."

“Is this the ancient zither?”

Chu Qing was a little surprised.

“This harp is too powerful for killing… No one can control it except the old ancestor.

"Since you have chosen it, you must use it with caution and never take it lightly."

The old lady did not answer Chu Qing's words, but just gave a few instructions.

Then he found writing brush, ink, paper and inkstone for Chu Qing and asked him to copy the secret book.

Chu Qing didn't ask any more questions, picked up the pen, dipped it in ink and started copying.

By the time he had finished copying the secret book, the old lady had already put the ancient zither into the zither case and came to Chu Qing:

"This box is a gift for you, but don't underestimate it.

"This is made by skilled craftsmen using thousand-year-old iron and wood. It is invulnerable to swords and spears, water and fire, and insects and ants cannot live in it. It is called the Hidden Sharp Iron Box. The opening is on the top, and it can hold a zither or a sword.

“It was originally made for a martial arts master who was an expert in both the zither and swordsmanship. Unfortunately, that master was killed by his enemy before he could obtain the item.

"The zither box eventually flowed into my Tianyin Mansion. My Tianyin Mansion is good at zither but not swords, so it has been preserved until now.

"I heard that you are also very good at swordsmanship. This thing is perfect for you."

Chu Qing smiled:
"Thank you, grandma."

This was said lightly, and there was a hint of sincerity in the words.

The old lady's face showed a rare look of kindness, but she sighed softly:
“If your mother or your uncle had your qualifications.

"How can we allow Han Qiujun, that shameless kid, to run rampant in Tianlai City...

"Three prefectures, three prefectures... In the past, there were no three prefectures. It was originally our Tianyin Prefecture that dominated the world!
"What can we do? Our ancestors planted trees, but our descendants are unfilial and do not even have the right to enjoy the shade under the trees."

The old lady's resentment was all directed at Han Qiujun.

Although Han Qiujun was defeated, his Nine Stars Linked Pearls performed brilliantly in this battle. It is expected that in the future, when people in the martial arts world talk about today's battle, they will also talk about Han Qiujun's defeat of the Tianyin and Liaoyuan mansions, who was crushed invisibly without leaving any trace.

But in fact, it was not that Tianyin Mansion was too weak, but that the descendants were too mediocre and incompetent.

This is why the old lady was dissatisfied.

After getting the good stuff, the old lady led Chu Qing out of the secret room. After returning to the yard, she waved her hand and told Chu Qing to get out.

She is old and frail, she needs to have a good rest.

Chu Qing bowed and said goodbye to the old man obediently, then he left the small courtyard holding the zither case and the secret book.

As soon as I went out, I saw Wu Qianhuan and others waiting outside the yard.

"what!"

Liu Qingyan saw the box in Chu Qing's hand:

"The Hidden Sword Iron Box! Did grandma give it to you? I begged her for a long time, but she wouldn't give it to me."

Chu Qing smiled:
"It's not just a box."

As he said this, he put the box on the ground. He shook his sleeves and the box opened. The Gu Zhangqin was pulled out by his internal force and landed in his hands.

At this moment, Wu Qianhuan, Wen Rou and even Su Ningzhen were all fine, but Liu Qingyan gasped:
"This... could this be... an ancient zither?"

As he said this, he subconsciously took two steps forward, wanting to reach out and touch it.

But before it landed on the strings, she stopped immediately, took a deep breath and said:

"Grandma actually gave you the ancient zither... You know, this zither is extremely evil, and if you're not careful, it could trigger your inner demons and cause you to go astray."

"know."

Chu Qing nodded:

“That’s why I find it even more interesting.”

"…How can it be funny? It's obviously scary."

Liu Qingyan circled Chu Qing twice, her eyes fixed on the zither. She hesitated for a long time but still didn't dare to reach out to touch it.

Chu Qing then put away the zither and looked at Su Ningzhen:

"Have you thought about it?"

"Think about it."

Suning nodded immediately:
"I want to learn swordsmanship!"

"Swordsmanship..."

Chu Qing smiled:
"My swordsmanship is not easy to learn. Have you really thought it through?"

"Ok!"

Suning nodded immediately:
"I am already proficient in swordsmanship. If I can't even learn swordsmanship... I have no idea about the other skills."

"Alright."

Chu Qing nodded:

"follow me."

Then he turned and left.

Liu Qingyan asked quickly:
"Can I go with you too?"

"Follow if you want."

When Chu Qing's voice reached their ears, several people stopped hesitating and followed Chu Qing.

After returning to their own small courtyard, Chu Qing put away the things he had just obtained, then came to the courtyard and pulled out the Shangyin from Wu Qianhuan's hand.

A sword tip:
"Okay."

One sword technique after another was performed.

As he watched, Suning really frowned.

Each move of this sword technique does look very exquisite, but it is not like when he performed it, and each move does not match up.

He was confused, but didn't dare to be distracted, and kept all the sword techniques in his mind.

After Chu Qing finished performing it once, he asked softly:

"How? How much did you remember?"

"I...about 70% to 80%."

Suning answered with some hesitation.

After listening to this, Chu Qing looked at Wu Qianhuan again.

Wu Qianhuan was stunned for a moment, then said:

"Ninety percent."

Chu Qing smiled silently but didn't say anything. Instead, he looked at Liu Qingyan.

Liu Qingyan chuckled:
"Two or three percent, the sword technique... is too unfamiliar."

Chu Qing nodded and finally looked at Wenrou.

Wenrou looked at him, thought for a moment and said:
"I don't remember anything..."
