In the depths of the martial arts, there is a mysterious valley surrounded by dense trees and mist.
Hidden here is an amazing secret – a story buried in martial arts legends, a story of love, betrayal, redemption and forgiveness.
The protagonist of this story is Zhou Zhiruo, a woman who once hated because of love, and then fell in love because of hate, and her complex emotional entanglement with Zhang Wuji.
1. The Island of the Heart: Zhou Zhiruo's Seclusion
Zhou Zhiruo picked up the Yitian Sword and gently stroked the blade, as if recalling the days spent with Zhang Wuji.
The blade mirrored her face, revealing deep pain and struggle.
She turned to pick up the dragon slayer knife again, and a hint of determination flashed in her eyes, as if she had made up her mind about something.
Zhou Zhiruo took out a delicate brocade box from the wooden house, which contained the secret book of the "Nine Yin True Scripture".
She flipped through each page, each word as if it reminded her of her past. Suddenly, she closed the cheats and took a deep breath, as if to bury all the past in her heart.
Zhou Zhiruo carried a cloth bag and walked briskly in the direction of Shaolin Temple, walking on the rugged mountain road, Zhou Zhiruo met several monks from Shaolin Temple. She stepped forward, handed over the cloth bag, and said briefly: "This is the Heavenly Sword, the Dragon Slaying Knife, and the Nine Yin True Scripture, please pass it on to the abbot of your temple." ”
The Shaolin monk took the cloth bag in surprise and replied, "Miss Zhou, this..."
Zhou Zhiruo interrupted him: "This is my decision, and it is also my heart's wish. ”
After that, Zhou Zhiruo stopped staying, turned around and left, and set foot on the way home again. Along the way, she passed by the mountains and rivers that she had walked with Zhang Wuji, and every scene evoked her memories. But she didn't stop, just walked quietly, with both determination and relief in her eyes.
2. The germ of conspiracy: Chen Youliang's ambitions
Chen Youliang sat in a dark room with several secret reports from the Shaolin Temple on the table.
There was a hint of cunning and excitement in his eyes. He slowly unfolded a report detailing Zhou Zhiruo's delivery of the Heavenly Sword, the Dragon Slayer Knife, and the Nine Yin True Scripture to the Shaolin Temple.
He immediately summoned his cronies, an ordinary-looking monk, who was actually a spy he had planted in the Shaolin Temple. Chen Youliang whispered to him: "The time has come, you know what to do." ”
The Spy nodded, then quietly exited the room. He shuttled through the night and hurried quickly and cautiously in the direction of Shaolin Temple. After arriving at the monastery, he used his identity and knowledge of the monastery to quietly enter the Scripture Pavilion where the secret books were stored.
Under the cover of late night, the spy found the secret book of the Nine Yin True Scripture and the Eighteen Palms of the Dragon Descent.
He carefully hid the secret book under his clothes, and then left the Scripture Pavilion silently, as if it had never appeared.
Early the next morning, Chen Youliang's spy returned to his residence and handed over the cheats to a messenger who had been waiting for a long time. The envoy then quickly left the Shaolin Temple and rushed to Chen Youliang's mansion.
Chen Youliang received the cheats, and he couldn't wait to read it. Every page of the Nine Yin True Scripture and every move of the Eighteen Palms of the Dragon Descending were pondered by him repeatedly. He decided to retreat and practice to integrate these two martial arts.
After a few months, the room in which Chen Youliang retreat was finally opened. His temperament seems to have changed dramatically, appearing even more unfathomable.
He swayed, and he had already appeared in the courtyard, moving as swift as the wind. He began to practice the eighteen palms of the dragon descending, each palm with an earth-shaking momentum, as if it could shake the mountains and rivers.
Then, he began to practice the internal strength of the Nine Yin True Scripture. He sat in the middle of the courtyard, closed his eyes, and saw a faint white light emanating from his whole body, and the air around him seemed to tremble.
Day after day, Chen Youliang's martial arts improved rapidly. With each practice, he discovers new insights and improvements. His body is getting lighter, his movements are becoming more agile, and his strength is getting stronger.
Finally, Chen Youliang, who had been in retreat for many months, walked out of the room. His eyes were full of confidence and domineering, as if he was ready to show his new strength to the entire martial arts.
He stood at the top of the mansion and looked into the distance.
He knew that he was now an unrivaled master in the martial arts, ready to start his ambitious plans.
He made up his mind that the first thing to attack was the Shaolin Temple, and then Wudang, and he wanted to make the entire rivers and lakes tremble at his feet.
3. The prologue to the tragedy: Chen Youliang's rage
Chen Youliang stood outside the mountain gate of the Shaolin Temple, followed by a group of loyal men. They quietly approached the monastery in the pre-dawn glimmer. The monks in the monastery have not yet fully woken up, and the entire Shaolin Temple is enveloped in tranquility.
Chen Youliang waved his hand and motioned for his subordinates to act. They quickly rushed into the Shaolin Temple and went straight to the abbot's room. The monks in the temple were awakened by the sudden attack, but before they could react, they were knocked down by Chen Youliang's men.
Master Kongwen was meditating in the meditation room, and after hearing the noise outside, he slowly stood up and walked out of the meditation room. When he saw Chen Youliang, his face was solemn, but his tone was still calm: "Chen Youliang, why are you doing this?"
Chen Youliang did not answer, but directly attacked.
Although Master Kongwen was strong in martial arts, he gradually fell behind in front of Chen Youliang's powerful power after fusing the "Nine Yin True Scripture" and the Eighteen Palms of the Dragon Descending.
Eventually, after a fierce battle, Master Kongwen was knocked down by Chen Youliang and died of exhaustion.
Then, Chen Youliang found the three monks of doom, calamity, and disaster.
Although these three monks are strong in martial arts, they are still invincible under Chen Youliang's fierce attack. After a tragic battle, the three monks were also defeated by Chen Youliang and were unable to fight again.
Seeing this, the other monks of Shaolin Temple took up arms to resist, but none of them were Chen Youliang's opponents.
For a while, the sword shadow danced wildly in the temple, and the screams came and went.
In the end, the Shaolin Temple fell, and Chen Youliang stood in the center of the temple, and his men subdued all the monks who resisted.
Chen Youliang then led his men towards Wudang Mountain.
They traveled urgently at night and went straight to the top of Wudang Mountain.
On Wudang Mountain, Zhang Sanfeng was meditating, feeling the movement of the outside world, he slowly walked out of the door.
After Chen Youliang saw Zhang Sanfeng, he didn't say much and directly attacked. Although Zhang Sanfeng is old, his martial arts are unfathomable, and he and Chen Youliang have a thrilling battle.
However, in the face of Chen Youliang's powerful martial arts that fused the "Nine Yin True Scripture" and the Eighteen Palms of the Dragon Descent, Zhang Sanfeng was still powerless in the end.
In the end, under a fierce offensive, Zhang Sanfeng was defeated by Chen Youliang, and Wudang Mountain also fell.
Chen Youliang stood on the top of Wudang Mountain, looking around, only to see between the mountains, smoky, his gaze cold and firm.
These atrocities soon spread throughout the martial arts, causing a wave of shock and panic.
When the news reached Zhang Wuji, he heard that his father-in-law Zhang Sanfeng and the empty master of Shaolin Temple had been killed by Chen Youliang one after another, and the anger and desire for revenge in his heart erupted like a volcano.
Zhang Wuji quickly gathered his colleagues and allies and prepared to counterattack Chen Youliang. They are planning revenge plans day and night, vowing to avenge the righteous path of martial arts.
4. The hero's defeat and redemption
Zhang Wuji and Chen Youliang fought in an open field, surrounded by dilapidated buildings and fallen martial artists affected by the battle. Chen Youliang's martial arts became extremely powerful after fusing the "Nine Yin True Scripture" and the Eighteen Palms of Dragon Descending, and every move and style was full of devastating power.
Although Zhang Wuji was brave, he gradually fell into disadvantage under Chen Youliang's onslaught. Seeing this, Zhao Min drew his sword and joined the battle, trying to help Zhang Wuji. However, Chen Youliang's martial arts were too strong, and Zhao Min was hit by Chen Youliang with a palm in an action to protect Zhang Wuji and fell to the ground and died.
Zhou Zhiruo appeared at the critical moment, she was dressed in a black military uniform, holding a long sword, and her eyes were firm.
She quickly joined the fray and engaged in a fierce confrontation with Chen Youliang, giving Zhang Wuji a chance to escape. Zhang Wuji hugged Zhao Min's body, and withdrew from the battlefield with grief and helplessness.
Chen Youliang saw Zhang Wuji fleeing, and turned to attack Zhou Zhiruo with all his might.
The battle between the two was extremely fierce, the sword shadow flickered, and the momentum was like a rainbow. In the end, although Zhou Zhiruo was strong in martial arts, she was still defeated by Chen Youliang and was captured alive by him.
Zhang Wuji took Zhao Min's body back to a temporary hiding place and buried her.
In the midst of extreme grief and loss, Zhang Wuji was depressed, and the defeat of the battle and the death of his lover made him feel extremely hopeless.
At this time, the woman in the yellow shirt appeared. She walked up to Zhang Wuji and said softly: "The realm of martial arts is not only about the level of skill, but also about the change of mood. ”
Zhang Wuji listened silently, and the woman in the yellow shirt continued: "The highest realm of swordsmanship, the return of ten thousand swords, is not a simple skill, but the unity of heart and sword. ”
Zhang Wuji comprehended the words of the woman in the yellow shirt and began to practice in retreat, integrating his internal strength and swordsmanship. He practiced repeatedly, from basic sword moves to complex combinations, and gradually, he found that his swordsmanship had made a qualitative leap.
After a few days of cultivation, Zhang Wuji's swordsmanship has been completed, and his sword moves contain profound internal strength, each sword is like a thousand troops, majestic. His swordsmanship has reached a whole new level, as if he can really summon ten thousand swords to return to the sect.
At this time, Zhang Wuji decided to rescue Zhou Zhiruo. He knew it was going to be a tough battle, but there was no way back for him. He packed his gear and prepared to go. At dusk, Zhang Wuji stood on the top of a mountain peak, looking into the distance, his eyes full of determination and firmness.
Zhang Wuji's figure looked particularly lonely in the afterglow of the setting sun, but his sword intent was more resolute. He began his journey to Chen Youliang's location, and along the way he continued to hone his swordsmanship, with only one thought in his heart - to rescue Zhou Zhiruo.
### 5. The Reorganization of the Family: A New Beginning
After a hard battle, Zhang Wuji finally found Chen Youliang's hiding place in a remote valley. He and Chen Youliang launched an earth-shattering contest. After a series of fierce battles, Zhang Wuji finally defeated Chen Youliang and defeated him with his newly comprehended swordsmanship.
After the battle, Zhang Wuji found the imprisoned Zhou Zhiruo. Although she was weak, she saw that Zhang Wuji was safe and sound, and there was a hint of comfort in her eyes. Zhang Wuji carefully helped Zhou Zhiruo up, and the two left the valley together.
On the way out, Zhou Zhiruo revealed to Zhang Wuji the fact that she was pregnant with Chen Youliang's child. After Zhang Wuji heard this, his face showed a complicated expression, but in the end he chose tolerance and acceptance. He decided to raise the child with Zhou Zhiruo.
A few months later, Zhou Zhiruo gave birth to a healthy baby boy in a hidden mountain villa. Zhang Wuji and Zhou Zhiruo named the child Zhang Guo, intending to warn him not to repeat Chen Youliang's mistakes, hoping that he could embark on a right path.
In the years that followed, Zhang Wuji and Zhou Zhiruo's lives gradually calmed down. They settled in the villa and lived a secluded life. During this time, they welcomed two more children, one is the smart and clever Zhang Zhou, and the other is the clever and lively Zhang Zhao.
Zhang Wuji and Zhou Zhiruo jointly taught them martial arts and learning, hoping that they would become people who would benefit from martial arts. The three brothers, Zhang Guo, Zhang Zhou, and Zhang Zhao, grew up healthily in an atmosphere of love and reconciliation, and they had a deep brotherhood and supported each other.
As time passed, the prestige of Zhang Wuji's family in the rivers and lakes grew. Zhang Wuji's unfathomable martial arts, coupled with his tolerance and deep affection for his family, have earned him great prestige in the martial arts.
Zhou Zhiruo also gradually let go of her past grievances and devoted herself to the education of her family and children. She uses her own experiences to teach the children that she hopes they will understand the ups and downs of life and the importance of choices.
Zhang Guo gradually grew up and became a young man with strong martial arts and a gentle personality. He was well aware of the complexity of his life, but with the love and guidance of his parents, he chose the path of justice and light.
Zhang Zhou and Zhang Zhao also showed outstanding talent and character under the influence of their parents. They gradually grew up in the martial arts and became martial arts masters that people admired.
In the end, Zhang Wuji's family became legends in the rivers and lakes. Their story has been praised by people and has become a beautiful story in the martial arts. In an atmosphere of love and reconciliation, Zhang Wuji's family showed a rare warmth and brightness in martial arts.
