Chapter 1423

~7 min read 1,382 words

In the quiet valley formed by the convergence of mountains, the stream winds through the trees. Small stone houses are hidden among the trees by the stream. The stream bypasses the front of the houses and finally flows to the mouth of the valley to form a clear pool, and then flows out of the valley.

The valley is full of towering maple trees, dense forests, lush and green, blocking the sky and the sun. The cliffs are steep, and the stones are beautiful and the springs are clear.

Looking at the true appearance of the Youlin Small Valley, Shi Feixuan couldn't help but feel some emotion. No wonder Aunt Bi Xiuxin could persuade Shi Zhixuan to live here in the past. If one can live in seclusion in such a place, what else is there to ask for in life?

It happened to be the rising of the red sun, and the small valley was bathed in the morning light. The mountains were full of red leaves, and the layers of forests were like dye. Bursts of autumn wind blew, and the birds sang together. The fresh air was refreshing.

Large stones in the pool emerged from the bottom of the water, some like millstones, some like square tables. The clear springs passed over the stones, and small fish swam in pairs, full of freedom and meaning, untainted by the dust of the world.

Shi Feixuan listened to the gurgling water, walked along the stream, bypassed the clear pool, and stepped on the gravel path full of maple leaves. Her spirit seemed to be sublimated, and her eyes revealed more and more praise.

Shi Qingxuan looked at the familiar Youlin Small Valley and said softly: "It seems that no one has come here during the time I was away."

Although the Youlin Small Valley is hidden, it is not unknown.

Shi Zhixuan knew where this place was. No one knew whether he had told Hou Xibai and Yang Xuyan about this place. After all, these two were Shi Zhixuan's disciples.

Shi Qingxuan's guess was not wrong.

Hou Xibai and Yang Xuyan did know where the Youlin Small Valley was.

In the original work, Xu Ziling came here relying on Hou Xibai to lead the way. As a result, after arriving here, he didn't see Shi Qingxuan immediately, but encountered an ambush by people from the Great Ming Zun Sect. The people of the Great Ming Zun Sect knew this place because of Yang Xuyan.

Shi Qingxuan took Su Xuan and Shi Feixuan to the stone house where she lived. Inside the stone house, there was some rather simple furniture.

It is said that after Bi Xiuxin died in the past, the Cihang Jingzhai originally wanted to take Shi Qingxuan back to the Cihang Jingzhai, but was refused in the end. Later, she lived in Dashu Temple for two years, then left Dashu Temple by herself and came here to live.

She lived here for many years.

At first, Yue Shan was still alive, and there was Yue Shan's care, but after Yue Shan died, Shi Qingxuan was completely alone.

Returning to the old place, Shi Qingxuan wandered around here and finally threw a scroll to Su Xuan.

"This is the Immortal Seal Method created by Shi Zhixuan!"

Hearing Shi Qingxuan's words, Shi Feixuan's eyes suddenly condensed. Shi Zhixuan's Immortal Seal Method was famous and was an extremely powerful demonic art. It is said that Aunt Bi Xiuxin tried to crack this art in the past, which eventually led to her death from exhaustion.

Shi Feixuan looked at the scroll held in Su Xuan's hand and couldn't help but develop some interest.

However, she also knew her identity—she was just a captive under Su Xuan, and she had no qualifications to read the Immortal Seal Method at all.

Su Xuan was not polite and unfolded the Immortal Seal scroll in his hand directly.

Seeing Su Xuan browsing the Immortal Seal Method like this, Shi Qingxuan was a little worried. After all, her mother died because of this art. However, after thinking of Su Xuan's powerful strength, Shi Qingxuan's worry decreased a little.

"It is indeed a bit exquisite!"

Soon, the Immortal Seal Method was finished by Su Xuan. For this demonic art that was famous in the world, Su Xuan only gave such an evaluation.

But it was not surprising.

What was Su Xuan practicing?

He was practicing the Seventy-Two Earthly Fiend Arts and the Thirty-Six Heavenly Gang Methods. His vision had become extremely high from the very beginning because of these arts. Besides that, many of the arts in the Yin-Yang School were also more mysterious than the Immortal Seal Method.

For Su Xuan, it was already not easy for the Immortal Seal Method to have some exquisiteness.

This was still because he gave Shi Zhixuan some face based on the concept of the Immortal Seal Method.

Otherwise, what was Shi Zhixuan?

Afterward, Su Xuan also put everything down and lived here with Shi Qingxuan for a period of time.

Unfortunately, youth is easy to pass, time flows, and good scenery is hard to repeat.

Shi Qingxuan also knew that a Youlin Small Abode could hardly tie Su Xuan down. Su Xuan never belonged to such mountain forests and valleys; he was a true dragon that could manipulate the winds and clouds of the world.

A few days later, the three left the Youlin Small Abode and officially came to Chengdu.

……

After the fall of the Sui Dynasty, under the coordination of the martial arts judge Xie Hui, the three forces of Xie Hui's Duzun Fort, Fan Zhuo's Chuan Gang, and Feng Zhen's Ba Alliance held a meeting to decide the fate of Bashu.

The three parties formed an alliance, relying on their powerful strength in the Bashu region, and finally became the guardians of the Bashu region.

Because they understood that Bashu could settle in one corner, but it was difficult to claim to be a king.

It was also because of this reason that when rebel kings rose all over the world, Bashu never gave birth to a rebel king. However, although there were no rebel kings, the fate of the entire Bashu was controlled by these three families.

Among them, the Duzun Fort had the most powerful force, not only because the Duzun Fort itself was an extremely powerful force in the Bashu region, but also because Xie Hui and the Heavenly Blade Song Que became in-laws, and his son married Song Que's daughter.

After the disintegration of the Sui Dynasty, each of the four great noble families had hundreds of thousands of troops under their command, which were the most powerful forces in the world. Lingnan was owned by the Song Valve. It can be said that if Song Que was willing, he could completely choose to contend for the world. Even if the Song Valve had always remained in a state of inaction, if he wanted to support which force, the other party would also have a great possibility of unifying the world.

Unfortunately, the original stability of the Bashu region was destroyed not long ago.

Guiguzi saw the instability of this alliance in the Bashu region, and then instigated the internal strife between the Chuan Gang and the Ba Alliance. Even though Xie Hui tried his best to mediate, it didn't play any role in the end.

With the internal strife between the two sides, the alliance forces in the Bashu region dropped significantly. Then Kou Zhong took advantage of the situation. The Ba Alliance among them surrendered to Kou Zhong. Kou Zhong had a legitimate excuse to intervene in Bashu affairs, first annexed the Chuan Gang, and finally, only the Duzun Fort remained. Even if it was the strongest of the three, it was still isolated and helpless, and was finally destroyed by Kou Zhong's forces. The Duzun Fort disintegrated.

From then on, the Bashu alliance no longer existed, and the vast Bashu was all decided by the Young Marshal's Army.

Of course, because the people of Bashu were fierce, even if Kou Zhong occupied this place, it didn't mean he completely controlled Bashu, but in name, he was still the master of Bashu.

In Chengdu City, Su Xuan soon met Kou Zhong.
