Chapter 008 Anecdotes
Ni Kun pondered for half the night before falling into a deep sleep. He was awakened the next morning by the aroma of baking pancakes.
He got up quickly, straightened his messy hair, and walked to the fire with a smile, greeting :
"Brother Chen, Sister Mei, good morning!"
Chen Xuanfeng didn't waste any words and threw him a pancake. Ni Kun thanked him and started eating it with relish.
Chen Xuanfeng said calmly:
"A few dozen miles north is Xiangyang City. We will take you to Xiangyang."
Mei Chaofeng said:
"Xiangyang is located on the Han River. It has been a major city since ancient times and is very prosperous. There are many martial arts schools and gangs there. Whether you want to learn martial arts or make a living, you can find a way."
Is this near Xiangyang?
It seems that if I want to go to Lingnan, I have to find another way.
Ni Kun knew that with the character of Chen Xuanfeng and Mei Chaofeng, they had already done their best by not abandoning him here and were willing to take him for a while. He did not ask for too much at the moment and just smiled and nodded:
"Okay, thank you Brother Chen, thank you Sister Mei."
After filling his stomach, Ni Kun followed Chen Xuanfeng and Mei Chaofeng out of the temple and got on the carriage parked outside the temple.
Ding-a-ling…
Amid the crisp sound of horse bells, Chen Xuanfeng drove the carriage northward.
Mei Chaofeng sat in the car, while Ni Kun was in a miserable situation. He could only sit in the passenger seat and keep Chen Xuanfeng company.
A carriage without pneumatic tires and a shock-absorbing system is really uncomfortable to sit in.
Although the passenger seat was padded with felt, Ni Kun's butt was still hurt by the bumping.
He glanced at Chen Xuanfeng uncomfortably, and saw that this elder brother was not sitting next to the seat at all. He just stood firmly on the horse, holding the reins and steering the horse calmly. No matter how bumpy the carriage was, his body did not sway at all .
"It's great to have martial arts skills."
Seeing this, Ni Kun felt both admiration and envy.
I thought that although ordinary martial arts could not bring immortality, I should still practice them if I had the chance.
At least daily life will be much more convenient.
If you can learn superior Qinggong, you may be able to protect yourself when you are in danger.
However, given his current condition, he doesn’t know who would be willing to teach him if he wants to practice advanced light skills.
The Sunflower Manual is known for its lightness and speed, but he doesn't dare to practice it.
After thinking for a while, Ni Kun couldn't help but ask Chen Xuanfeng:
"Brother Chen, if I offer the Sunflower Manual as a gift, do you think I will have a chance to become a disciple of a famous teacher?"
Chen Xuanfeng glanced at him and said calmly:
"Who would be interested in the Sunflower Manual?"
Ni Kun asked, "What about those dishonest people?"
"..." Chen Xuanfeng's mouth twitched twice:
"How can I, a decent person, understand what an indecent person thinks?"
You clearly call yourself a bad guy!
Ni Kun complained in his heart.
At this time, Mei Chaofeng lifted the door curtain, stuck her head out, and said with a smile:
"There are many masters in the court of the Great Sui Dynasty, and there are also many eunuchs in the palace. Brother Ni, you can present this Sunflower Manual to the royal family. Maybe the emperor will be so pleased that he will send you a master as your master."
Ni Kun smiled awkwardly:
"If I present the Sunflower Manual to the royal family, I'm afraid the emperor will ask me to work in the palace and let me practice the Sunflower Manual myself to verify the quality of this technique."
Chen Xuanfeng nodded: "You are smart. With Yang Guang's temperamental personality, this is really possible."
Ni Kun said somewhat unwillingly:
"This Sunflower Manual is a profound skill after all. Is it true that no one wants it?"
Mei Chaofeng smiled and said:
"The evil heretics will definitely not mind accepting this martial art. Well, Master said that there is a demon sect in the world whose inherited martial arts are quite complex, with both good and evil skills. Perhaps they would like to take a liking to the Sunflower Manual?
"It's just that the Demon Sect's whereabouts are mysterious, and we don't know where to find them."
Chen Xuanfeng said:
"The Demon Sect is not easy to mess with. It is said that ten years ago, a sword sect of Songshan suddenly appeared and occupied Shengguan Peak of Songshan as its mountain gate. Although this sect acted in a domineering way, it could barely be considered a fair sect. Later, for some unknown reason, it clashed with the Demon Sect, and the entire sect was wiped out overnight. From the leader Zuo Lengchan onwards, no one survived.
“Legend has it that there was only one person from the Demon Sect who wiped out the Songshan Sect.
"With the power of one person, he wiped out a large sect. This shows how terrifying the Demon Sect is."
As he spoke, he glanced at Ni Kun:
"If you are not afraid of death and can find the whereabouts of the Demon Sect, you can have some contact with them. Maybe you can use this Sunflower Manual to join the Demon Sect? Of course, there is a greater possibility that you will be killed directly or captured to practice evil skills."
Ni Kun smiled awkwardly:
"The Demon Sect is so terrifying, I dare not provoke them."
Are you kidding? The Evil King Shi Zhixuan might be the big boss behind Liu Sheng Piaoxu and Dahuanxi Bodhisattva. Ni Kun doesn't even have time to hide, so how could he take the initiative to contact the Demon Sect?
Of course, the Demon Sect is not a monolithic entity, and there are also those who are mortal enemies of Shi Zhixuan.
But in today's weird and chaotic world, God knows whether there are any masters in other branches of the Demon Sect who can stop Shi Zhixuan.
You know, even Master Guan Qi, who had the "innate invisible sword energy that could break the body", was a retainer of "Pei Ju", the incarnation of the Evil King.
Let's skip this part. Ni Kun chatted with Chen Xuanfeng and Mei Chaofeng in a random manner, trying to find out some anecdotes about the underworld. He actually found out some very interesting news.
Although after the change in the sky, in the past twenty years, there have been inexplicable masters of unknown origin appearing out of nowhere every year, so that even Huang Yaoshi finds it difficult to count them one by one, but Huang Yaoshi knows some of those who behave particularly outstandingly.
For example, three years ago in the ninth year of Daye, a sect called "Sun and Moon Religion" emerged in the south.
The leader of the Sui Dynasty, Chang Woxing, was ambitious and took advantage of the chaos in the Sui Dynasty to launch a rebellion. Unfortunately, he was suppressed by the nemesis of the rebels, the general Zhang Xutuo.
All the top leaders of the Sun and Moon Sect were wiped out, and the sect leader Ren Woxing was killed by Zhang Xutuo and his three generals Qin Shubao, Cheng Zhijie, and Luo Shixin. The Left Protector of Light, Dongfang Bai, was the only one who escaped.
Another example is two years ago, in the tenth year of Daye, a noble family called "Tang Clan" emerged in Shu. They were skilled in using hidden weapons and poisons. Even the "Duzun Castle" in Shu was destroyed by Tang Clan with their bizarre poison techniques, and the owner of Duzun Castle, "Judge Jie Hui", was also poisoned to death.
However, the lord of Duzun Castle, Jie Hui, was the sworn brother of Tiandao Song Que. Song Que's eldest daughter, Song Yuhua, was married to Jie Hui's only son, Jie Wenlong. They were also poisoned to death in Duzun Castle this time.
So Song Que, the Heavenly Sword who had been stationed in Songjia Mountain City and had not left Lingnan for many years, went down the mountain in anger and entered Sichuan alone, and drove out the Tang Clan within three days.
For example, in the middle of last year, a mysterious island called "Feixian Island" appeared in the South China Sea. There was a city on the island called "Baiyun City".
The Lord of Baiyun City calls himself Ye Gucheng. On the pretext of "How can I allow others to sleep soundly beside my bed", he challenges the "Nanhai School" that dominates Hainan with his sword. With just one sword, he defeats the famous martial arts master "Nanhai Immortal" Chao Gongcuo, who had fought with "San Zhenren" Ning Daoqi for more than a hundred moves but was defeated with only one move.
That sword is said to be called "Flying Fairy from the Sky"...
After talking about Ye Gucheng, Chen Xuanfeng suddenly sighed:
"Actually, these masters and forces that suddenly appeared out of nowhere are still good. No matter how high their martial arts skills are, they are still human beings and can't cause much trouble. But the occasional monsters and demons are a headache."
Mei Chaofeng nodded and said:
"That's right. Legend has it that after the change in the sky, fox corpses have appeared in the mountains for the past twenty years. When my senior brother and I passed through Yangzhou a while ago, we ran into a man-eating zombie on the outskirts of Yangzhou. Fortunately, the zombie was not powerful and was afraid of the masculine internal force of warriors. We brothers and sisters joined forces with Yangzhou's number one master, 'Mountain Pusher' Shi Long, to kill him."
Chen Xuanfeng said:
"Master once said that Emperor Yang Guang was eager for quick success and instant benefits, and abused the people's power, causing the common people to be overwhelmed. In order to survive, they had no choice but to rise up in rebellion. As a result, the country gradually became chaotic, with wars everywhere, and the army was like a tide, killing and killing endlessly. People were dying everywhere.
"When a country is about to perish, evil will surely appear. In such a chaotic world, it is possible that extremely terrifying evil will be born.
“If there is another world-destroying giant demon like the Moon Worshiper, and if there is no sword fairy hero, then the sky will really fall and the earth will collapse.”
In fact, these two people don’t seem to be very concerned about the country and the people.
They were just worried that if a world-destroying giant demon was born and there were no sword masters to resist it, and a world-destroying disaster really came with the collapse of the sky and the earth, then their world of two would naturally not be able to continue.
On the surface, Ni Kun doesn't know any martial arts, and even walking dozens of miles of mountain roads makes him exhausted. But if he really gets angry, he can even kill the Moon Worshiper - as long as he is willing to sacrifice his life.
Even if the Moon Worshiper was resurrected, couldn't he be killed with a kick from "Yekai"? Subdue him with "Dawei Tianlong" and chop off his soul with "Sword Twenty-three"?
Even if one kick doesn't kill him, one sword can't subdue him, or he can't be killed, the worst that can happen is another "Fusion Burial".
What kind of monster can withstand the powerful positive energy of nuclear fusion ?
However, his current character is a weak and elegant young man. His ultimate move will cost his life, so he will not take on too much responsibility. He just smiled and said:
"Since there are always masters who suddenly appear every year, maybe there are some sword masters hiding in the deep valleys of some mountains. Anyway, even if there is a world , there will be tall people to fight it."
Chen Xuanfeng shook his head and smiled, without saying anything more, concentrating on driving on his way.
They walked in silence until the afternoon, when the tall and majestic city walls of Xiangyang City came into view of the three people.
