Chapter 101 The Bystander in the World of Tianlong 7
After dealing with Ding Chunqiu, Liu Yuxi used the "Sound Transmission and Soul Searching Technique" to find out who in the Xingxiu Sect had practiced the Xiaoyao Sect's techniques. Liu Yuxi didn't have time to distinguish whether there were any good people among them, but according to the Xingxiu Sect, there were at most one or two innocent people, so he crippled their martial arts.
As for the others, Liu Yuxi didn't bother with them anymore. Let them do whatever they want in the future. If they offend her again, she'll deal with them.
Su Xinghe knew that Ding Chunqiu was dead, and his long-cherished wish was fulfilled. He finally let go of his obsession. Liu Yuxi asked him about his future plans, and he said he wanted to return to the Deaf-Mute Sect. After all, he had taken in several disciples, and he still needed to spend some time teaching them.
Liu Yuxi did not interfere with his decision. Since they had already come out and there was nothing else urgent to do, she decided to go and see the places in the original drama where the main characters had their adventures.
The Lingjiu Palace map has been backed up; now let's head to "Langhuan Paradise" in Wuliang Mountain, Dali. This is where Wuyazi and Li Qiushui lived in seclusion. It once housed many martial arts manuals.
Later, all these martial arts manuals were moved by Wu Yazi and Li Qiushui's daughter, Li Qingluo (also known as Madam Wang), to the Langhuan Jade Cave in the Mantuo Villa in Suzhou.
Later, Li Qiushui left behind the secret manuals of Beiming Divine Skill and Lingbo Steps in "Langhuan Blessed Land", which were later accidentally learned by Duan Yu.
Now let's go and see if there's anything left. If not, then we'll have to visit the "Langhuan Jade Cave" at Mantuo Mountain Villa.
There was no rush, so Liu Yuxi released a donkey from his spatial dimension. He decided to follow Zhang Guolao's example and ride his donkey backwards. The journey was quite pleasant.
The Dali of today is different from the Dali of later generations. Like the Nanzhao Kingdom, Dali remains a multi-ethnic nation.
This multi-ethnic state was primarily ruled by feudal lords among the Bai ethnic group. In terms of political organization, it was headed by the Duan family feudal kings, with ministers such as Buxie (prime minister) assisting in governance.
The Bai feudal lords each had their own territories, which served as the main basis for their feudal rule. Local administrative units were divided into prefectures and counties, with Bai feudal lords appointed as chief officials of each prefecture and county to manage them.
The prefectures and counties were established based on adjustments made during the Nanzhao Kingdom's rule. Many different ethnic groups and tribes still existed within the areas governed by each prefecture and county.
These different ethnic groups and tribes maintained their original political and economic structures, with their internal affairs managed by their own nobles and subject to the rule of prefectural and county officials.
Historically, in the first year of the Shaosheng era of the Song Dynasty (1094), which is also after the plot of "Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils" began, Gao Shengtai, a powerful minister of the Dali Kingdom and a feudal lord of the Bai ethnic group, seized power and called it "Great China".
Two years later, Gao Shengtai's son, Gao Taiming, was forced to return power to the Duan family, with Duan Zhengchun as king. From then on, the Dali Kingdom was sometimes referred to as the "Later Dali Kingdom".
In the later period of the Dali Kingdom, the Duan king lost his actual control. The Bai feudal lords, led by the Gao family, carried out feudal separatist rule in the main Bai settlement areas. The nobles of other ruled ethnic groups fought and annexed each other to develop their local power, resulting in a situation of division.
In the third year of Möngke Khan's reign (the first year of the Song Dynasty's Baohua era, 1253), a Mongol army marched south, breaking the antagonism and conflict among the various ethnic nobles within the Dali Kingdom. On December 1 (January 2, 1254), the Mongol army arrived at the capital city of Dali (now in Yunnan Province), entered the city, and the Dali Kingdom fell.
The Dali Kingdom was home to many ethnic groups. Since entering Dali, Liu Yuxi has seen many ethnic groups' unique and original customs. She found a miniature camera and carried it with her to film many different landscapes and cultural customs that have been passed down to later generations!
Of course, due to the language barrier, Liu Yuxi stayed in Taihe Village for a while, adjusted the flow rate of the open space to 1:10, and then learned the languages of the Bai, Yi, Naxi and Dai ethnic groups.
Then, by changing into ethnic clothing, she could easily pass for the real thing, hahaha. The main thing is, she had nothing else to do, so she was just killing time anyway. There were no surveillance cameras along the way, so Liu Yuxi indulged in her shopping spree, buying lots of ethnic food, clothing, and local specialties, all of which she stored in her online space.
Upon arriving at "Langhuan Paradise," as expected, there was nothing but jade carvings. Liu Yuxi hesitated for a while, but still put the jade carvings away and placed them in the small square of her neighborhood in her space. They were indeed beautiful!
Since there's nothing left here, let's go to the "Langhuan Jade Cave" in Mantuo Manor. However, she was also struggling with how to get there. After all, Wu Yazi and Li Qiushui were not qualified parents, and she didn't know if Madam Wang could accept her as her junior aunt.
However, he still had to pay a visit first. He brought a set of glass ornaments and a complete set of elaborate modern gold jewelry to Mantuo Villa, introduced himself, and waited for Madam Wang to decide whether to see him or not.
Fortunately, Liu Yuxi was personally welcomed into the manor by Madam Wang. From the moment Madam Wang saw the Seven Treasures Ring on Liu Yuxi's hand, she seemed hesitant to speak.
Liu Yuxi naturally knew what she wanted to ask and did not hide anything, telling her that Wuyazi had passed away. Madam Wang's expression was complicated: "He shouldn't have ended up like this." She really didn't expect that her father, such a remarkable person, would end up like this.
"And what about my mother?" Um, how should I put this? Seeing Liu Yuxi's troubled expression, Madam Wang said again, "Little nun, don't worry, just tell me if she's alright?" "Your mother was alright before I left!" "That puts my mind at ease!"
After catching up with Madam Wang and having lunch together, Liu Yuxi explained his purpose to her. Madam Wang did not stop him. Most of the books were collected by Wu Yazi and Li Qiushui, and many of them belonged to the Xiaoyao School.
Liu Yuxi didn't intend to take it away; she just wanted to browse around. Even if Liu Yuxi had a photographic memory and memorized everything, so what? It was collected from someone else, not something unique to their Mantuo Manor.
Liu Yuxi stayed in the "Langhuan Jade Cave" for more than two months. Her meals were delivered by people sent by Madam Wang. Liu Yuxi also made copies of all the books in the cave.
This is a rare opportunity, a true "treasure"! If she ever travels to a modern world again, she'll definitely spread these skills far and wide, making the foreigners' belief that "all Chinese people know kung fu!" a reality! As long as powerful weapons aren't used, China will be the strongest in the world!
Hehe, I can't think about it now. When I get back this time, I'll find a few suitable shows for everyone to practice on and broadcast them live! I can't help with technology, but I have to work hard to provide force!
