Chapter 24 Guangyang
In July, the sun is scorching.
A convoy composed of many merchants was moving slowly along the official road.
The world is now in the process of becoming chaotic, and the journey is dangerous. The big businesses are fine, but the small businesses and traveling merchants can only stick together and hire bodyguards and martial arts masters to escort them.
Fang Xian and Bao Qian were among them.
"After passing Guangyang City, we will reach Yuanwu City."
Two black horses ran side by side. Bao Qian pointed in the direction and said with emotion.
"The capital of Yuanwu State..." Fang Xian sighed, "I wonder how prosperous it will be?"
"Hehe... I guarantee that Brother Fang will not be disappointed. This city is truly a place of crouching tigers, hidden dragons, and countless masters..."
Yuanwu Kingdom is considered a big country on this continent. The Suxin Sect, Zhenwu Sect and Chiyuan Sect, two of the six major sects, are located in it. Especially in the capital city, there are many talented people like carp crossing the river, and there are also hidden dragons and crouching tigers in the royal family.
The more this is the case, the more terrifying and formidable it seems that Chu Kuang Ren killed his way through the imperial palace alone.
"Especially, on August 15th, a martial arts conference will be held on Turtle Snake Mountain outside Yuanwu City. How can we miss such a grand event?" Bao Qian looked longingly.
"I said, Brother Bao insisted on persuading me to go to the capital, it must not be just for the reward of introducing a master to the building..." Fang Xian smiled.
"Brother Fang, you are too modest..." Bao Qian glanced around and saw that no one was approaching, then he said, "A congenital master will be respected wherever he goes, but I do have a favor to ask of you... I have an appointment with someone to settle a grudge before the martial arts conference, and I would like to ask Brother Fang to come and help!"
"Oh? Who is it?" Fang Xian was a little curious. Bao Qian was a rookie in the martial arts world, so his opponent must be no ordinary person.
"It's 'White Ape' Du Wan, one of the eight heroes! He is a true disciple of the Red Ape Sect and has a wide range of friends... Of course, Brother Fang doesn't have to step down when the time comes, he just needs to support me..." Bao Qian answered happily.
"I see."
The famous and upright sects love to put accusations on others to pressure them. Even if Bao Qian is not afraid of Du Wan, he is afraid that the other party will rely on their large numbers to not fight properly and instead cause some trouble.
At this time, inviting friends to serve as witnesses is the way to deal with it.
"I don't know why you two have a grudge against each other?" Fang Xian thought for a moment and continued to ask.
"Alas... this is a long story. It all started with the Red Ape Sect's innate secret weapon, the 'Ape Demon Mixing World Stick'... This is the Red Ape Sect's inherited martial arts technique, but in the seventh generation, there was an elder named 'Cheng Yuan' who made a unique discovery and developed a set of 'Mad Magic Stick Techniques' that became widely known and benefited warriors all over the world... Although I don't like the sect, I admire him very much and have also learned the 'Mad Magic Stick Techniques'..."
Bao Qian sighed: "But the Red Ape Sect has always regarded this technique as their own. One day, I encountered an enemy and used this technique. Du Wan, who was passing by, saw it. We had an argument at first, and then he even wanted to take back my martial arts..."
Taking back your martial arts means you will naturally become a cripple.
No wonder Bao Qian refused and in the end the only way to decide was by fighting.
In fact, "Crazy Stick Technique" was so widely circulated that all major forces had copies preserved, and the Red Ape Sect could only suffer this loss in silence.
That Du Wan was most likely here for Bao Qian himself.
If we magnify it more, we can see it as the contradiction and collision between the rising stars of the sects and the rising stars of the independent practitioners.
If you don't handle one of them well, you will most likely suffer a big loss.
"Don't you have a master?" Fang Xian looked at Bao Qian, speechless.
However, he suddenly thought that Bao Qian's "Crazy Stick Technique " might have been exchanged from the Jinfengxiyue Tower.
He can change, and he also has a chance.
"My master... ahem... I often don't see him for several years, and so far he has only taught me some internal skills..."
Bao Qian smiled bitterly.
Otherwise, if something happens to the disciple, it is the master who should step in.
"It seems that... this full-service master is a bit unreliable..."
Fang Xian secretly complained in his heart, and then said solemnly: "If it's just like this, I can do the job of holding the fortress... But I have to say it in advance. If things change and it's beyond my ability, don't blame me for standing idly by..."
Anyway, Bao Qian must have hired more than one person, so he might as well mingle with the casual cultivators to experience the lively scene.
"Of course..." Bao Qian replied with a wry smile.
Fang Xian stopped talking and narrowed his eyes.
…
[Hunyuan Qi: Minor Achievement]
…
'Since achieving Xiantian, Hunyuan Jin has become Hunyuan Zhenqi, and not only that...'
As his mind moved, a trace of innate Hunyuan true Qi entered his sea of consciousness and was absorbed by the attribute column.
"This stupid golden finger seems to be able to only absorb supernatural mysterious power, the kind that I cultivated myself..."
Fang Xian rolled his eyes, feeling that this golden finger was a bit of a scam.
If I hadn't opened the [Dongxuan Eye] by chance, I would probably still be kept in the dark.
If we don’t actively explore, we may not discover this new situation.
"I supply it with energy every day, but it feels like a bottomless pit that can never be filled... I don't know what I'll get after it's completed... This broken golden finger doesn't even have an instruction manual..."
However, although Fang Xian was secretly complaining, in fact, his boxing spirit was idealistic and self-centered. If he really had an old grandfather with him, it was hard to say what he would do.
Just as he was pondering, the caravan slowly drove into Guangyang City.
"Everyone, please rest here for three days. On the morning of the fourth day, we will gather at the north city gate!"
A caravan manager passed down the news, and most people dispersed.
"Brother Fang, I've asked around. There are many fun places to go in Guangyang City. For example, there's a flower selection event going on at Sanhua Tower tonight. How about we go together?"
Bao Qian came over and said with a smile.
"Choosing an Oiran?"
Fang Xian curled his lips: "I always feel that something will happen... Are there any famous warriors in the city?"
"Brother Fang is indeed a martial arts fanatic. If we talk about the famous martial artists in this city, it should be Senior Lu Kunwu, the 'Golden Sword'. In the 'Golden Sword Sect' he founded, there is also one of the sixteen new stars, the ' Sky Sword Star' Lu Yong..."
Bao Qian squinted his eyes and said, "But that Tian Daoxing is a well-known young man with a romantic reputation. The selection of the most beautiful woman this time must also be at Sanhualou..."
"From what you said, it seems that we have no choice but to go?"
Fang Xian looked a little strange: "But we've agreed that I won't take any action this time."
"Of course, of course..."
Bao Qian thought to himself that your "Hunyuan Thunderbolt Fist" could kill people with just one strike. What could possibly happen when visiting a brothel? It would be best not to strike.
