Chapter 75: Moon-Facing Training
Then the three of them talked about some trivial things. Pei County has been in turmoil during this period. Many old friends from the six countries have lurked here, but due to the surge in the number of Qin soldiers, no one dared to make any small moves.

In fact, they all came for Yinxian Peak.

As long as one can enter the Hidden Immortal Peak, everyone's goal is to become an immortal. In comparison, restoring the country is not worth mentioning.

Even if the country was restored, many people were just nobles of the six countries. If they could become immortals, the noble status would mean nothing. Even the position of emperor, they didn't want to change.

Just as the three were talking, there was a knock on the courtyard door. Suddenly, the three of them were silent and looked over.

A mile or two below the Hidden Immortal Peak, in a courtyard of a new town, Xiang Liang, Xiang Bo, and Xiang Yu, who were originally talking, heard a knock on the door. Suddenly, the three of them became a little cautious.

These days, there are only three of them living here, and no outsiders.

While thinking, Xiang Yu picked up a halberd from the wooden rack next to him and walked gently to the door.

"who is it?"

Xiang Yu lowered his voice slightly and asked about the person outside.

"Brother Yu, it's me!"

Although Xiang Yu deliberately lowered his voice, the people outside were obviously very familiar with him. After hearing his words, they immediately responded.

It was a familiar young man's voice.

Xiang Yu then gently opened the door, and outside the door stood a young man with a straight posture and a dignified demeanor.

The young man was holding a long sword in his hand and wearing a clean and neat outfit, but there was a hint of melancholy and loss between his brows.

"Brother Zhuang, you are here too!"

Seeing the person coming, Xiang Yu's mind relaxed a little again, and then a smile appeared on his face.

"Brother Yu!"

Xiang Zhuang also forced a smile on his face.

Some time ago, Xiang Bo and Xiang Zhuang had planned to come to Pei County, but Xiang Zhuang was delayed by something, so he was a few days late.

This young man holding a sword in his hand also has quite a reputation in later generations. It is said that Xiang Zhuang dances with a sword, aiming at Pei Gong.

In the original history, Liu Bang, the founding emperor of the Han Dynasty, almost lost his life at his hands, but was prevented from doing so by Xiang Bo.

But of course, Liu Bang's escape from the Hongmen Banquet was inseparable from Xiang Yu's arrogance. Fan Zeng's repeated admonitions were all ignored, which led to his suicide at the Wujiang River, which was actually Xiang Yu's own way of seeking death.

"What happened?"

Seeing Xiang Zhuang looking as wilted as a defeated rooster, Xiang Liang and Xiang Bo couldn't help but ask.

"Uncle, uncle, before I came here, I went to seek out those swordsmen from Hidden Immortal Peak for a duel."

Xiang Zhuang greeted Xiang Liang and Xiang Bo, and then started talking about business.

Xiang Zhuang was born into a noble family in the State of Chu. He had a great talent for swordsmanship and was considered to be top-notch in the world. However, he had just gone to the foot of Yinxian Peak to compete with an outer disciple who was a swordsman from Yinxian Peak.

But he didn't expect that the other person didn't take it seriously at all. With a casual move, he had already reached his throat, like a flash of lightning, and it was impossible to stop him. "And this swordsman is not Gai Nie, and he was not even famous before, but he has such a high level of swordsmanship. I just thought about it all the way, and every time I think about the fight just now, I still feel cold sweat on my back."

At this point, a hint of fear flashed across Xiang Zhuang's eyes.

The main thing was that the swordsman didn't care at all and just made a casual move. It was obvious that he was used to being challenged, but he did it so casually, as if it was as easy as eating and drinking, and he delivered a horrifying move.

"Now you know why everyone in the world wants to become a disciple of Hidden Immortal Peak. It is rumored that this is only the most basic cultivation result of Hidden Immortal Peak, so it is practiced by outer disciples."

After hearing Xiang Zhuang's description, Xiang Liang patted him on the shoulder, indicating that he understood his feelings.

"You must have heard that Ying Zheng has also practiced the basic skills of Yinxian Peak. I was almost killed by him that day."

Xiang Liang could really empathize with Xiang Zhuang.

When he led many soldiers to attack Ying Zheng that day, he could not have imagined how terrifying Ying Zheng was. With a sword in his hand, he was as swift as lightning and his body was as fast as a flying dragon. All the soldiers who attacked him were killed instantly. Even Xiang Liang, who came from a family of generals, was almost killed by the sword.

If he had not reacted in time, blocked the attack with his arms, and exchanged his injury for his life, the grass on his grave would be three feet high by now.

I have never heard of Ying Zheng having such martial arts skills. It is obvious that this is all thanks to the skills of Yinxian Peak.

He, an emperor who is not very active, can have such fighting power, not to mention that those swordsmen are originally masters of swordsmanship, so their fighting power is even more terrifying.

After hearing Xiang Liang's words, the disappointment on Xiang Zhuang's face eased a little, but he became more enthusiastic about practicing the widely spread Moon Worshiping Method.

If I could be like Yu Ji and join the Hidden Immortal Peak, I would be able to transcend the mundane world from then on.

Speaking of which, Xiang Zhuang felt sour towards Gai Nie, Han Xin and the four swordsmen. They really caught up with him at a good time. He just knelt for more than ten days.
He was admitted into the Hidden Immortal Peak. Although he was an outer disciple, his status was so noble that even Ying Zheng had to look at him differently.

The four of them talked for a while, and soon the sun was setting!
After nightfall, in the courtyard, the four members of the Xiang family began to stand in the courtyard tacitly, facing the bright moon in the sky that emitted soft light and began to practice.

Meditate in your mind, hold the seal in your hands, and breathe in and out.

Not only them, if you raise your sight and overlook the entire Pei County, Sishui County and even the whole world, there are countless people doing this at this moment, that is, practicing facing the moon.

However, time passed by little by little.

Soon, Xiang Liang and Xiang Bo, who did not feel any changes in themselves, finished their practice, looked at each other, and left the place.

They are quite old and don't have much interest in practicing the Moon Worship Method, so they can only rely on the younger generation.

Xiang Yu and Xiang Zhuang practiced for most of the night but achieved no results, so they had no choice but to stop and go back to rest.

At this time, Ye Yu, who had left Yinxian Peak, had not returned to Yinxian Peak after trying the spells of summoning wind and rain and falling thunder during the day, but had come to Sishui.

The Si Shui River is quite vast. The upper reaches belong to Xue County, the middle and lower reaches pass through Ceshui County, and the lower reaches flow into the sea at Donghai County. The name of Si Shui County comes from this.

The Sishui River in the middle and lower reaches has abundant water and a wide river surface. In the past, it was rumored that there was a Zhou Dynasty tripod stored in the Sishui River. The First Emperor fasted and prayed for the tripod, but he did not find it.

This incident later became an allusion to the story of fishing for wine in a cauldron.

Ye Yu was sitting cross-legged on the surface of the Si Shui River at this time. Although it seemed that he was sitting on the water, he was actually not touched by any water. As Ye Yu practiced, the gradually calm surface of the Si Shui River began to become choppy, forming huge waves.
