Chapter 35 Madman
"Senior, where are we going?"
In the wilderness, Fang Xian used his Qinggong skills and followed behind Zhou Xuan, fearing that this senior would accidentally go crazy again.
"We'll be there soon."
Zhou Xuan walked without stopping and came to a wooden house.
This seems to be the place where hunters in the mountains rest. They always have some firewood, rice, oil and salt available, and use it as a temporary resting point.
At this moment, Fang Xian suddenly stopped, with a look of surprise in his eyes.
Next to the wooden house, a big man was chopping wood.
Bang!
He brought down the axe, and the firewood split in two, which gave Fang Xian an unexpectedly harmonious feeling.
It was as if the wood was splitting along its own grain.
Wooden house, firewood pile, axe, big man...
Everything is natural, giving Fang Xian a feeling of being one with the environment and being unshakable.
"This... is this the highest realm of martial arts? The unity of man and nature?"
Fang Xian was shocked.
"Senior Chu, I'm here."
Zhou Xuan went up and saluted respectfully.
"Well... you came at the right time. I just killed a musk deer. I'll roast it and eat it with wine later."
The big man put down the axe and a smile appeared on his ordinary face, just like an ordinary farmer.
No one can associate him with the supreme grandmaster Chu Kuangren, who is almost invincible and can conquer an entire country with his sword!
"I am Xiaxian, nice to meet you, Senior!"
Fang Xian stepped forward and saluted, feeling quite grateful to Zhou Xuan.
Just this one encounter allowed him to see the road ahead clearly in the fog and know what to do next.
"No need to be polite, little brother."
Madman Chu touched the back of his head, looking quite honest.
Nightfall.
The three of them sat around the campfire roasting their prey, drinking strong liquor from time to time.
"Senior Chu, the matter you entrusted to me before has changed... This little brother and the Golden Wind and Rain Tower are both interested in finding Nie Yinlong!"
Zhou Xuan tore off a musk deer leg, took a bite, and then said.
"So Senior Chu is here for Nie Yinlong too?"
Fang Xian mourned for Nie Yinlong for a few seconds. Although he was one of the Twin Dragons, his life would be in danger if he offended the Grand Master.
As a killer, his ability to attract hatred is indeed very strong!
At the same time, he also understood why Zhou Xuan brought him here.
As long as he and Yu Longjiao could determine where Nie Yinlong was hiding, and then take Chu Kuangren with him, the original battle would become as easy as an outing.
"Yes... I got a letter from an old friend. His son was killed by an assassin from Zhaixing Tower..."
Madman Chu's face darkened.
"Nie Yinlong is so bold?" Fang Xian was very surprised. Is he trying to kill himself?
Chu Kuangren's face was bitter: "I have too many enemies in the martial arts world. Although I am close friends with that old friend, only a few people know about it. Zhaixing Tower only sent out a post-natal killer and treated it as an ordinary mission...but...I have to avenge my old friend's son."
"This sounds... somewhat familiar..."
Fang Xian's mind moved: "Wait... Chu Kuangren is from Yuanwu country, his old friend should be here too, and Zhaixing Tower has not assassinated many people in Yuanwu country recently, it can't be such a coincidence, right?"
He thought of the scene he witnessed, the scene where 'Sky Blade Star' Lu Yong was assassinated!
His father seemed to be called 'Golden Knife' Lu Kunwu. Although he was a congenital, Fang Xian no longer took him seriously at this time.
I didn’t expect that this old guy hid so deeply!
"He is indeed an old hand who knows how to save his life. Otherwise, if people knew that he was a good friend of Chu Kuangren, Yuanwu State would have wiped him out long ago..."
Fang Xian's heart was greatly moved, and Zhou Xuan happened to look over here.
The two looked at each other, both of them had a tacit understanding.
"Come on, drink some wine!"
After three rounds of drinking, Chu Kuangren's expression remained unchanged, but his eyes became more energetic.
"I heard that Senior Chu was so heroic back then that people yearn for him..."
Fang Xian complimented casually.
"Haha..." Chu Kuang Ren laughed after hearing this: "You've also heard about how I was so angry for my beloved that I rushed to the Yuanwu Palace with my sword?"
"Yes, it is said that the senior seemed to be in love with the emperor's princess at that time, but the emperor ended up setting up a murder trap for her..." Fang Xian told the news he had heard.
"It's fake. How can there be so much melodrama in the world?" Madman Chu shook his head.
"Then why?" Fang Xian's expression changed.
"It was because of... a cake..." Madman Chu looked nostalgic.
"A...cake?" Fang Xian felt that he was about to hear an alternative story.
"Everyone has times of hardship. I was a few years old at that time, I can't remember exactly. There was a famine and I almost starved to death. I begged along the way and once got a cake from a family, so I didn't die."
Chu Kuangren looked calm: "Later, I was going to find that family to repay my kindness, but their family was already destroyed. The reason was that they were extorted and forced by the government. I was so angry that I went to argue with the official. He said something like 'knights break the law with force' and wanted to arrest me to punish me, so I fought them... Later, more and more people came to chase me, and they became stronger and stronger. I also won again and again, and finally made it to Yuanwu City..."
"So, the Yuanwu Kingdom was almost destroyed because of a cake?"
Fang Xian nodded and concluded with a heavy expression.
"That's right, it's a pancake!" Zhou Xuan added from the side.
…
The next day, early morning.
Fang Xian and Zhou Xuan bid farewell to Chu Kuangren and set out on their journey home.
"How is it? How do you feel?"
Zhou Xuan asked .
"Tao follows nature!"
Fang Xian hesitated for a moment and finally spoke.
"Okay, that's the four words 'follow the nature'!" Zhou Xuan praised: "I pondered and pondered, and finally only these four words came up... The way of the great master is all in it... Unfortunately, every move must be in accordance with nature, without any deliberateness, how difficult is that?"
"From this perspective, Senior Chu Kuangren is a natural born grandmaster..." Fang Xian exclaimed in admiration.
The way of the Grand Master is inherently mysterious, with no established precedent.
Although Chu Kuangren came from humble beginnings, he was victorious in every battle and naturally comprehended the principle of harmony between man and nature during the battles. He was truly a man of unparalleled talent and was very enviable.
Zhou Xuan brought him here not only to repay Yu Longjiao's favor, but also to let Fang Xian see the way forward.
"Hahaha... my life is limited, but the way of martial arts is limitless, isn't it wonderful!"
Zhou Xuan laughed loudly and roared to the sky, his voice shaking the whole area.
From behind, a deeper and clearer whistle came, as if seeing the two off.
"Thank you, Senior Chu."
Fang Xian bowed sincerely behind him, then looked at Zhou Xuan: "Senior Zhou, let's go back... eh?"
At this time, Zhou Xuan was lying on the ground again, with his butt sticking out, observing the ants, without any of his previous master demeanor.
"Shit... is he sick again?"
Fang Xian covered his forehead with his hands, looking helpless.
