Shizheng of Tibetan Scriptures Repeated to 20th

Zhang Danian was both surprised and happy. When he held the Junzi Sword in his hand, he felt that the sword hilt of the Junzi Sword was very warm, but the sword brand was emitting a cold Qi.

There seemed to be a connection between Zhang Danian's palm and the sword brand, and the Junzi Sword seemed to be whispering into Zhang Danian's ear. "I've finally found you."

Zhang Danian's heart was inexplicably shocked. The first time he saw this Junzi Sword was on the eastern street of the Lin'an. However, at that time, it seemed as if Zhang Danian hadn't experienced such a feeling yet, but at this moment, it was as if they had reunited after a long separation …

Reunion with a sword...

For some inexplicable reason, Zhang Danian actually had a feeling that he was about to cry.

Why did Zhang Danian feel this way? Zhang Danian did not understand either.

Raising his head, he looked at Wu Soong, who placed the Junzi Sword on the table and bowed deeply to him. "Big Brother Wu, thank you very much."

As for what he wanted to thank them for, they all knew.

Zhang Danian looked at the books on the four walls of the competition room, courage suddenly emerged from his chest, he raised his eyes to look at Wu Soong and said: "Big Brother Wu, don't worry, I will do my best to finish reading the books in this underground palace, you have lived up to my mission."

Wu Soong's face revealed a gratified expression: "Okay, little brother, you can rest assured here that I and A’chou will take care of this protection." After pausing for a moment, Wu Soong laughed: "However, your Junzi Sword and the Tiger Box will still need to be lent to me for a bit, after all, if that Bao Daoyi from Triple Purity Sect comes to our doorstep, this Junzi Sword can still resist it a little."

"..."

From then on, Zhang Danian stayed in the training room of the Sixth and Sixth Floor of the Pagoda.

Wu Soong was recuperating while the A’chou occasionally went out to the town below to buy some food to eat. Other than that, he was accompanying Zhang Danian as he read his books.

Zhang Danian read books everyday, and after reading for a month, he had a headache. There were too many books in this underground palace, and most of them were extremely hard to understand.

Fortunately, Wu Soong had told him that the books inside did not require much explanation, as long as he could recite them.

With this, the difficulty of Zhang Danian was reduced by quite a bit. Even so, Zhang Danian was still confused by what he saw.

Wu Soong then allowed Zhang Danian to read for four hours everyday before resting for one hour. In this one hour, Wu Soong passed down the Imperial Sword Technique that his master had taught him and turned it over to Zhang Danian.

After Zhang Danian trained for a few days, he was already able to control the Junzi Sword in the battle room for around ten breaths of time. As long as he continued his cultivation, after half a year, he could control the Junzi Sword for over ten breaths of time.

Zhang Danian was also very happy in his heart.

Other than the Imperial Sword Technique, Wu Soong also passed on everything he learned to Zhang Danian and A’chou.

Then, A’chou would first enter Wu Soong's tutelage, and would learn a lot more than Zhang Danian. After Wu Soong imparted his techniques to Zhang Danian, he imparted some simple and crude techniques to, and allowed the A’chou to demonstrate them to him.

After a long time, Zhang Danian felt that A’chou's face was no longer as unrecognizable as before.

One day, when A’chou went out to buy food, Zhang Danian was very curious. While he was resting, he asked Wu Soong about the background of A’chou.

Wu Soong looked at Zhang Danian with a solemn expression. After a while, he told Zhang Danian that the A’chou also had the history of a legend.

It turned out that Wu Soong had been ill ever since he became disabled, and had come to the Lin'an to go out and become a real monk.

He was very annoyed that day, so he arrived by the Qiantang River and shouted out loud several times. Who knew that after this roar, a small boat would float over from the upper reaches of the Qiantang River. As the boat floated in, an extremely thick stench of blood came over.

Wu Soong was confused, he then watched as the small boat floated past the river in front of him. Taking a few steps back, he leaped and climbed onto the small boat.

Standing on top of the boat, he looked up and saw that there were actually fifteen or sixteen corpses lying on top of the boat.

These corpses were all in their thirties or forties. They were all dressed in black with a black tiger embroidered on it.

Wu Soong was startled, he recognized this tiger mark. These burly men were all from a gang called the Five Tiger Gang near Jiangnan. This Five Tiger Gang had quite a strong influence in Jiangnan, to think that fifteen or sixteen of their own gang members had died here.

Wu Soong was a brave man, adding the Liang Shan brothers, even though they were scattered like the wind, the remaining power was not small either. The ferocious tiger returned to the mountain, and the might did not decrease, so the mere Five Tiger Gang did not take this matter to heart. Just as he was about to get up and leave the boat full of dead people, his eyes suddenly caught a glimpse of the scene. He saw two corpses of the Five Lake Gang members at the bottom of the boat.

Wu Soong's heart skipped a beat as he held his breath and walked to the two corpses. He reached out his right hand and lifted up the corpses.

Wu Soong was startled. He reached out to the girl in red and checked her nose, only to find that she was breathing a little before he stretched out his arm and picked her up. He then jumped into the river and landed on both his feet.

After she was treated, the girl woke up.

After Wu Soong asked around, the girl did not know anything. She did not know where she came from, did not know her name, or anything.

Helpless, Wu Soong could only keep the girl here. Since the days were long, there was naturally a name for it.

Wu Soong asked the girl for her opinion. The girl was silent for a while, then said slowly: "Since I'm so ugly, please call me A’chou."

Wu Soong was surprised that the young lady did not feel offended, but he still followed her instructions and called her A’chou.

After a month, Wu Soong realized one day that while he was training, the A’chou girl was actually watching him with interest.

Wu Soong then asked if A’chou was interested, he hesitated for a moment and nodded his head. Then, he changed his address and called Wu Soong master. Just like this, the female A’chou stayed behind in the Liuhee Temple and followed beside Wu Soong, one disciple, one old and one young.

Zhang Danian thought to himself: "The origins of this A’chou is also a bit strange and mysterious."

Wu Soong seemed to have guessed what Zhang Danian was thinking, and continued: "One year later, when I went to Jiangxi, a friend of mine said that the Five Tiger Clan was killed cleanly by someone, but no one knows who killed the entire sect of the Five Lake Gang,"
