Save the Bachelor of Heaven

 Chapter 3840 3842【New Crane Needle】

 After returning from the world of "Zuo Er", Xiang Nan did not choose to rest.

 Because he did not feel tired at all. After all, with his strength, modern society can be completely leveled.

 For him, doing this kind of mission in the world of low martial arts is like going on vacation.

Xiang Nan then started a new task.

"Imerton hopes to live forever with Ansuna; Orm hopes to win back Mera's heart; Ning Caichen longs to stay with Nie Xiaoqian until old age; Lin Yi hopes to go to Stanford with Zhou Xiaozhi; Sun Shaoan hopes to give He Xiulian happiness; Ma Junwu hopes to retrieve Bai Yunfei; Star-Lord hopes to travel the universe with Gamora..."

 After comprehensive consideration, Xiang Nan decided to take over Ma Junwu's task.

Ma Junwu and Bai Yunfei are from the 1993 Hong Kong version of the classic martial arts movie "The New Crane and the Needle".

This film is hailed as a representative work of Hong Kong's new martial arts films. Not only does it have a wonderful story and vivid characters, but the key is its unique imagination and mind-blowing imagination.

For example, martial arts masters fly on cranes; sound wave skills are as powerful as artillery; thousand-year-old fire turtles are bigger than trucks; martial arts secrets are not used to practice, but to eat...

The reason why Xiang Nan took on this task was because the "New Crane and Divine Needle" contained the "Secret Book of Return to Yuan", a martial arts manual.

This secret book contains many methods such as internal strength, fists and palms, weapons, hidden weapons, light skills, acupuncture, capture, healing, etc. It is equivalent to an enhanced version of the "Nine Yin Manual".

 The four most powerful martial arts people in the movie "The New Crane and the Needle", Lan Haiping, Lan Xiaodie, Bai Yunfei and Cao Xiong, all relied on "Guiyuan Secret Book" to become peerless masters.

Especially Jinhuan Erlang Cao Xiong, who originally had low martial arts skills and was only a second-rate character in the world. No one looked down on him at all. However, after learning the "Secret Book of Returning to Yuan", his strength improved greatly and he almost became the best master in the world.

It can be seen that "Guiyuan Secret Book" is indeed miraculous. In Xiang Nan's view, its power is not inferior to "Forgetting Love Heavenly Book".

 …

Xiang Nan then found the movie "The New Crane and the Needle" and even read the original novel "The Crane and the Needle".

 After comparison, he found that there were many differences in the characters and plots between the novel and the movie.

The original novel was written by Wo Longsheng, a well-known Baodao novelist. In the original novel, Ma Junwu is a disciple of the Kunlun sect, but in the movie, he is a disciple of the Diancang sect.

In the original novel, Bai Yunfei is Princess Lauder, the daughter of Emperor Wuzong of the Ming Dynasty. Because her biological mother died early, Lan Xiaodie's mother, Yin Cuidie, was afraid that she would be plotted in the palace, so she asked Lan Haiping to rescue her from the palace.

 In the movie, Bai Yunfei is set as the subjugated princess of the fictional Yunfei Kingdom, who was rescued by Lan Haiping when the country was subjugated.

 In the original novel, Bai Yunfei and Lan Xiaodie are not hostile. On the contrary, they are very attached to each other as soon as they meet, like sisters.

In the movie, the two are portrayed as life-and-death enemies who are sworn in and fight each other as soon as they meet.

In the original novel, Jinhuan Erlang Cao Xiong is the incense master of the Tianlong Gang, but in the movie Cao Xiong is a member of the imperial court and has a hostile relationship with the Tianlong Gang.

In the original novel, Su Penghai is an old man and has a daughter named Su Feifeng; in the movie, Su Penghai is a young man and his sister is the Fairy Yuxiao.

 In the original novel, Ma Junwu finally married Su Penghai's daughter Su Feifeng and junior sister Li Qingluan, but was not destined to Bai Yunfei and Lan Xiaodie.

 There are no Su Feifeng and Li Qingluan at all in the movie.

 All in all, the movie is basically a remake of the original novel, but it is actually very different from the original story.

 The only similarity is that "Secret Book of Return to Yuan" is the number one secret book in the world, both in the original work and in the movie, and its power is extraordinary.

 …

 Xiang Nan then officially took over Ma Junwu's task.

He saw a door of light appear out of thin air, he stepped into it, and a wave of memories came to him... "My name is Ma Junwu, a disciple of the Dian Cang Sect, and I am a disciple of Yiyangzi. I come from a family of officials and gentry, and I have been reading and writing since I was a child. I want to study poetry and calligraphy, take the imperial examination for high school in the future, and serve the country.

Unexpectedly, one day I met my master Yiyangzi by chance. He said that I had strange bones and was a martial arts prodigy, so he wanted to accept me as his disciple. I was beguiled by his words and thought that I could really practice magical skills and become famous.

As a result, after seven years of hard training in the Diancang sect, I achieved nothing. I neither became famous nor became rich. I was even borrowed five hundred taels of silver from my master. I began to wonder if he was a liar.

This time the imperial court held a martial arts conference in Jiuzhou Prefecture, convening all major martial arts sects in the Central Plains to discuss the division of spheres of influence. Naturally, I couldn't miss such an opportunity to be in the limelight, so I pestered Master to come with me..."

Xiang Nan immediately opened his eyes and saw that he was riding on a horse, followed by twenty or thirty people on horseback. The force was huge and the momentum was astonishing.

Xiang Nan knew that these twenty or thirty people were all from Songshan Shaolin Temple.

They also went to Jiuzhou Prefecture to participate in the martial arts competition. On the way, they met Yiyangzi and Ma Junwu master and apprentice, so they all came together to accompany them.

 …

At this moment, a thick fog suddenly surged in front, covering the sky and the sun in an instant, reducing the visibility. Five feet away, it was blurry and it was impossible to see clearly.

“Abbott, it’s such a thick fog. You can’t see anything beyond three or four feet.” A Shaolin monk shouted.

“Everyone, be careful. Jiulian Mountain is a barren mountain and there may be steep cliffs in the fog. Find someone to explore the way ahead.” Master Yiqing, the abbot of Shaolin, ordered loudly.

 When all the Shaolin disciples heard this, they were on guard.

Xiang Nan and Yiyangzi also slowed down their horses to be careful not to fall off the cliff accidentally.

At this moment, in the thick fog ahead, the sound of horse hooves could be heard, click, click, click, click. It was obvious that there were many people coming.

“Abbott, there is the sound of horse hooves.” The Shaolin disciple immediately warned.

“Echo from the empty valley, I don’t know how many people and horses are ahead.” Master Yiqing looked stern, “Everyone, be alert!”

Upon hearing this, all the monks touched the weapons behind their backs.

 Yiyangzi also tightened his grip on the sword in his hand.

Xiang Nan knew that the troops ahead were actually sent by Kongtong, so he did not make a fuss like they did.

 "Jun Wu! Be on guard!" Yiyangzi reminded him when he saw this.

This disciple is just naughty. If I didn't owe him a lot of money, I really shouldn't have taken him out.

When Xiang Nan saw this, he had no choice but to take out his sword.

 …

He heard the sound of horse hooves getting closer and closer, and suddenly stopped in front.

It’s just that the fog was too thick, so I could only vaguely see a group of people, but I couldn’t clearly see their appearance or attire, so it was naturally difficult to guess where they were coming from.

“Abbott, he may be a horse thief.” A Shaolin disciple guessed.

"Don't act rashly." Master Yiqing waved his hand, "To avoid misunderstanding, we must display the banner of our sect."

When the Shaolin disciples heard this, they immediately raised the flags in their hands high. The flags stretched in the wind, and the four characters "Songshan Shaolin" were written on them, which was quite majestic.

Xiang Nan and Yiyangzi, the master and disciple, took no action and just sat on their horses to watch the fun.
