Chapter 126

Shen Lang was definitely not an arrogant person.

Of course, he had some areas where he could be arrogant.

However, he also had some male Benefactor.

In general, Lang Ye was humble about things he didn't understand.

For example, martial arts.

Because the martial arts in this world were completely different from those on Earth. The martial arts in this world were very unscientific and many times stronger than those on Earth.

Of course, the people in this world couldn't fly, and they couldn't smash a city gate with one palm.

The general level of martial arts should be equivalent to the works of Master Jin.

There was dantian, internal force, and true qi.

And almost all the martial arts secret manuals in this world came from the ancient times.

Thousands of years after the destruction of the ancient world, human civilization flourished again. Not only did they unearth the Four Books and Five Classics, but they also unearthed all kinds of martial arts secret manuals.

There were many secret manuals in Xuan Wu Mansion, and they were of relatively high quality.

After Shen Lang studied these secret manuals, he was completely astonished.

Some of these secret manuals were engraved on nephrite scrolls, and some were actually … bricks.

Of course, they weren't real bricks, but special pieces of jade, about 20 centimeters long, 10 centimeters wide, and 3 centimeters thick.

The entire secret manual's text, graphics, principles, and true qi circulation routes were all engraved inside the jade.

There were layers on top of each other.

There might be more than 200 layers in a jade that was only an inch thick. There were hundreds of words and two or three graphics on each layer.

Shen Lang was shocked.

Isn't … isn't this a hard disk from another world?

How did the ancient people engrave these secret manuals layer by layer into these pieces of jade?

Then wouldn't I also engrave the Endless Romance of Gold X Plum into it, so that it can be passed down for thousands of years?

Any paper, silk, parchment, wood, and so on couldn't go through the baptism of thousands of years.

But these special jade pieces could.

It could be seen how hard the ancient people had worked to pass on these precious civilizations.

After later generations excavated these jade pieces, it would take several years to copy the content engraved inside the jade piece layer by layer, forming a thick secret manual.

That way, people could learn from it.

Basically, no one could understand the original jade brick secret manual.

In order to find a way to crack the Meteor Fall sword technique, Shen Lang had been spending all his time in the library of the Count House.

He had read all the ancient books and read all the secret manuals.

He really finished reading everything. His eyes were like cameras, and he only flipped through each page for a second before taking a picture and storing it in his brain.

In just over half a month, he had finished reading all the books in the Count House.

Especially the works of the ancestor Jin Zhou.

Therefore, Shen Lang now had hundreds of martial arts secret manuals in his mind.

Huh?

Am … am I not Wang Yuyan now?

A humanoid secret manual vault?

That's possible. Wait until I've read all the martial arts manuals in the world.

In the future, when I go to fight with my wife, before the enemy even makes a move, I will know what the other party is going to do and how to counter it.

However, the database in Shen Lang's brain was still lacking.

Moreover, he did not find any way to crack the Meteor Fall sword technique.

His ancestor Jin Zhou had mentioned this sword technique before. He had also visited the Sky-sea Pavilion and read the Meteor Fall sword technique secret manual.

Jin Zhou left a sentence.

This secret manual is amazing. It has two sides. One Yin and one Yang, but I can't decipher it. After a brief understanding, I found that it is not suitable for me to learn, and it can easily lead to infertility.

The Sky-sea Pavilion was one of the most powerful martial arts libraries in the State of Yue.

The Meteor Fall sword technique was the treasure of the Sky-sea Pavilion. This was known to the world.

However, no one had ever mentioned that there was a back of this secret manual, and there was a Yin and a Yang.

Moreover, even someone as powerful as Jin Zhou could not decipher it.

About a hundred years ago, the Sky-sea Pavilion produced a pair of top geniuses.

The man and woman spent more than ten years to decipher the Meteor Fall sword technique secret manual and put it on paper.

Only then did this ancient sword technique truly appear in the world and become a secret manual that could be learned.

Then, the genius took the secret manual and left the Sky-sea Pavilion.

Ten years later, the first South Sea Sword King, Qiu Ju, appeared out of nowhere, relying on this Meteor Fall sword technique.

The woman who had deciphered this secret manual with him became his wife.

She looked ordinary and almost had no sense of existence.

In the world's impression, there seemed to be only one Meteor Fall sword technique. There had never been two sides.

Because it was always that man who killed his enemies in a second, it gave people the impression that he was the South Sea Sword King.

However, Jin Zhou's words gave people endless fantasies.

Shen Lang boldly guessed that there were actually two South Sea Sword Kings in every generation, and they were husband and wife.

The man who practiced the Yang side of this sword technique was unparalleled in the world.

The wife who practiced the Yin side of the sword technique was the only one who countered her husband.

What happened later seemed to completely confirm Shen Lang's guess.

Because every South Sea Sword King was a son-in-law, and he married the daughter of the previous South Sea Sword King.

This generation's South Sea Sword King, Li Qianqiu, who was also the teacher of Martial Fanatic Tang Yan, was no exception.

Thirty years ago, he married the daughter of the previous South Sea Sword King, Qiu Yingying.

Thirteen years ago, his wife passed away, and Li Qianqiu became the new Island Lord, the new South Sea Sword King.

Shen Lang speculated with the greatest evil intentions.

Li Qianqiu was unwilling to be countered by anyone, so he thought of a way to kill his wife.

Thus, no one in the world could counter his sword technique.

If Shen Lang's guess was correct.

There were two places in the world where one could find a sword technique that countered Meteor Fall.

The first was Li Qianqiu's wife, Qiu Yingying, but she was already dead.

The second was the Sky-sea Pavilion, where the original version of this secret manual should still be there.

To others, it was almost impossible to decipher these jade pieces.

It was like the most complicated circuit board, with hundreds of layers engraved on the jade pieces.

Apart from specialized geniuses, ordinary people would not be able to decipher it.

Moreover, even a genius would need more than ten years to decipher a single original version of the secret manual.

But Shen Lang was different.

He had an X-ray machine and AI that could scan the interior of the jade pieces, decipher the contents layer by layer, and then store them in his brain.

Shen Lang realized that his cheat was getting more and more awesome.

Night fell!

Shen Lang and Mulan rode south on a thousand-li steed, heading for the Sky-sea Pavilion a few hundred li away.

Master Lang had yet to learn how to ride a horse.

Once he was on horseback, he could only feel safe in his wife's embrace.

…

The Xu family!

Xu Qianqian was in a state of excitement and anxiety every day.

She stayed in the workshop almost every day and watched the whole process in person.

Xu Guangyun was the same.

While Xu Qianqian was monitoring the weaving, Xu Guangyun was monitoring the dyeing.

"Are you sure there's no problem with the dye?"

"Are you sure there's no problem with the dye?"

Xu Guangyun had to ask this question more than ten times.

Because this recipe was given by Shen Lang.

There was no problem with this little bastard, no matter how malicious he was.

But the answer was the same every time.

There was no problem with the dye.

There was no problem with the dyed silk, whether it was exposed to the sun or washed at high temperatures.

But time was still too tight.

The deadline was really too tight.

…

Zhang Chunhua came once.

"Xu Qianqian, are you sure you want to dye all the silk purple and rainbow colors?"

People were tempted by profit.

The Xu family had paid a huge price for the three million catties of cocoons. It was three times the price.

This meant that if they were woven into normal silk, no matter how much they sold, they would lose money. The more they sold, the more they would lose.

The gold color was exclusive to the royal family. It was useless no matter how high the price was. They couldn't sell it on a large scale.

But purple silk was the favorite of the nobles, and rainbow colors were the favorite of women.

In the Spring and Autumn Period of China, the price of purple cloth was four times the price of other colors. In ancient Egypt, purple silk was nearly ten times the price of ordinary silk.

In Xu Qianqian's hands, purple silk was sold for four times the price of ordinary silk, and rainbow silk was sold for seven times the price.

If they were all dyed into these two kinds of silk, not only would they not lose money, but they would also make a lot of money.

"Chunhua, I know what you are worried about. Shen Lang, that bastard, is really capable of doing all kinds of despicable things." Xu Qianqian said, "But we have done many violent experiments. We have washed them with boiling water, roasted them with fire, and washed them with salt water, but the colors have not faded."

Then, Xu Qianqian said, "I heard that the Monarch's decree is coming soon. The battle for Jinshan Island is about to begin, and the bell of destruction for Xuan Wu Mansion is about to ring. Eunuch will soon need this large sum of money to operate the Yanzhou Governor, so I must make a lot of money in the shortest time possible. "

Zhang Chunhua did not try to dissuade her.

"I'm waiting for that day at all times. I'm waiting for the moment when the Black Tortoise Count's Mansion collapses. I'm waiting for the moment when Shen Lang dies without a burial."

Zhang Chunhua wanted to say something but stopped.

Two days later!

The delivery time agreed upon by Xu Qianqian and the merchants had arrived.

…

Two days later.

After a few hundred miles of travel.

Shen Lang and Mulan arrived. Sky-sea Pavilion.

Sky-sea Pavilion.

It was the largest martial arts manual library in the southern part of the Great Yan Dynasty, the true temple of martial arts.

This library was an incomparably huge castle, standing at the southernmost tip of the continent.

The seawater directly hit the corner of the castle.

How magnificent!

It was not inferior to the large libraries on Earth.

Every martial arts practitioner who came here felt like they were on a pilgrimage.

Standing in front of this giant door, anyone would feel their own insignificance.

There was not even a guard at the entrance of the castle.

However, the entire Sky-sea Pavilion was shrouded in a powerful aura that made people unable to bend down.

The door was tightly shut.

Shen Lang and Mulan stepped forward and bowed, "Master, we would like to enter the Sky-sea Pavilion to study."

A moment later!

The door opened, and an old man walked out.

"Have the two of you received an invitation from the pavilion?"

Mulan shook her head and said, "No."

The old man said, "Sorry, we did not receive an invitation. The Sky-sea Pavilion does not accept visitors."
