Volume 1: The Swordsman of the East Chapter 32 Tian Boguang and the Little Nun
"Amitabha... Buddha, please guide me, which road leads to Hengyang City?"
Forty miles away from Hengyang City, in a dense forest, at a three-way intersection, a little nun in plain clothes and with long hair stood with her hands clasped together, muttering continuously.
It was Yi Lin who escaped from Tian Boguang. At this moment, her big eyes were constantly looking at the three-way intersection, with a helpless look on her face.
Since she was separated from her master, captured by Tian Boguang, and then rescued by Linghu Chong, she asked questions along the way, worshipped every mountain and every Buddha she met, and finally arrived in Hengyang after going through all the hardships.
But since entering this forest, I have lost my way. Now facing three forks in the road, dividing into three directions, I can't tell for a moment which direction Hengyang City is.
Moreover, in order to avoid people like Tian Boguang, apart from asking for directions, he spent most of his time following directions and passing through the mountains and forests.
There is no one here now, and I can't find anyone to ask for directions.
“Buddha bless you! Buddha… Ta-ta-ta…”
He had just finished speaking when the sound of horse hooves suddenly came from not far behind him.
Yi Lin's heart skipped a beat and she quickly turned around to check. When she saw that it was not Tian Boguang, she breathed a sigh of relief.
He hurried forward, clasped his hands together, bowed his head and said, "Sir, which road should I take to get to Hengyang City?"
"Which way to Hengyang?"
Dongfang Qing looked up and instantly saw three forks in the road, and his heart also skipped a beat.
In the past few days, he has been going into mountains and forests whenever he encounters one. With his kung fu skills, he is naturally fearless.
After all, with his appearance, if he took the official road, he would most likely cause a big commotion before he even reached Hengyang.
He also didn't want to cover his face with a veil like women.
After taking a look at the direction and then looking down at the little nun in front of him, Dongfang Qing felt a little guilty. He was not sure which road it was.
After all, he had never walked this road before, so who knows if there are any turns halfway through these three roads.
However, judging from the general direction, it should undoubtedly be the middle path.
Thinking of this, Dongfang Qing pretended not to care and raised his finger and said, "The one in the middle!"
"Thank you for your guidance!" Yi Lin quickly bowed to express her gratitude. When she saw Dongfang Qing's appearance clearly, she was stunned for a moment.
When he reacted, he saw Dongfang Qing riding a horse and disappearing into the middle path.
“What a beautiful person!”
Yi Lin's tone was sincere, without a trace of falsehood or any unnecessary emotion, just like a pure piece of white paper, expressing her sigh from the bottom of her heart.
"It seems I was not in the wrong direction!"
Walking out of the path, Dongfang Qing looked at Hengyang City in the distance and felt inexplicably relieved.
Hengyang City is very large, with convenient transportation links and a constant stream of people coming and going.
Dongfang Qing didn't stop and went straight into the city.
Although there were bursts of amazement along the way, I didn't pay too much attention to it.
With his appearance, he would see this scene wherever he went, and most of the people who saw him were ordinary people. They would not dare to provoke a man of the martial arts world riding a horse and holding a sword.
Even if I wanted to sigh, I would only speak out loud after the person had passed by.
After all, people in the martial arts world will draw their swords and kill people if they disagree with something.
“Tatta…”
Leading the horse, Dongfang Qing began to wander around the city.
The Sun-Moon Cult's intelligence stations are spread all over the world, so naturally he wants to find a place to stay.
"Tsk...this is going to make things difficult for Qun Yuwan!"
"How many brothels does the Sun Moon Divine Sect have?"
"Why is there a Qun Yu Wan in every big city? It would be better to change the restaurant!"
After walking around the city for most of the day, Dongfang Qing began to complain mercilessly.
However, he was a man of the world after all, so he didn't care too much about it. He took out the token, deposited his horse, and then returned to the city to stroll around and check the terrain of Hengyang City.
Hengyang City is very large. As a large landlord and wealthy man here, Liu Zhengfeng's mansion is extremely famous.
The closer you get to Liu Zhengfeng's residence, the more people from the underworld you see.
"There are still two days until Liu Zhengfeng's retirement ceremony!"
Dongfang Qing looked around and decided to go back.
During the day, his appearance was too conspicuous and would inevitably attract the attention of those who were interested.
"Monks don't drink alcohol or eat meat!"
"Master said that wine is fishy and meat is smelly... Let me go... I don't want it!"
As soon as he turned around, Dongfang Qing heard a familiar voice.
When I looked up, I saw the little nun who was asking for directions, being pulled by a man's arm and walking towards a restaurant nearby.
"Return to Yanlou!"
Dongfang Qing stopped and looked at the restaurant in front of him with surprise.
The reason for coming to rescue Linghu Chong this time was because of Tian Boguang.
It can be said that the biggest tragedy that Linghu Chong has experienced since he came out of seclusion to participate in this hand-washing meeting was because of the little nun Yi Lin.
He was beaten so badly by Tian Boguang that he would have died without a doubt if he hadn't been rescued by an expert.
"Huh? That's Qu Yang!"
Shortly after Tian Boguang dragged the little nun Yi Lin into the restaurant, Qu Yang also appeared.
"Is this the law of protagonist attraction?" Dongfang Qing complained silently.
Sure enough, after a moment, Linghu Chong appeared and entered Huiyan Tower with Qu Yang. Linghu Chong was so free and easy that he even spent some money to treat Qu Yang to a meal.
"Tsk tsk... this meal is really expensive!"
Dongfang Qing shook his head and also walked into Huiyan Tower.
If he remembered correctly, just because of this meal, Qu Yang used up all his internal energy to rescue Linghu Chong.
So when he was helping Liu Zhengfeng, he was easily defeated and his heart was injured. He died soon after.
Dongfang Qing was very sure that if it hadn't been for this incident, Qu Yang, the guardian of the Sun and Moon Sect, would have been famous for a long time.
But it is definitely not someone that those decent minions can easily kill.
Of course, even if he didn't die, he might still end up committing suicide with his best friend.
"As the saying goes, nuns, arsenic, and golden snakes, don't touch them, whether you have the guts or not."
"Whenever you see a nun, you will lose every bet!"
"What are you doing keeping such an unlucky little nun?"
“…”
As soon as he stepped into Huiyan Tower, Dongfang Qing heard a voice coming from the second floor.
He smiled slightly, waved his hand to let the waiter who came to greet him go back, and walked up to the second floor.
There weren't many people on the second floor. Apart from the table of Linghu Chong, Yi Lin, and Tian Boguang, Qu Yang was the only one drinking by himself.
Dongfang Qing walked over and came straight to Qu Yang.
Qu Yang, who was listening with great interest, suddenly changed his expression when he saw the person coming. He quickly stood up and was about to salute, but Dongfang Qing raised his hand to stop him.
"No need to be so polite!" Dongfang Qing said, and sat directly opposite Qu Yang.
Qu Yang understood, but sat opposite him somewhat nervously, secretly guessing the purpose of the leader's visit.
Although the leader has rarely appeared in recent years, the atmosphere of the entire Sun Moon Sect has changed a lot because of the leader.
In addition, the leader forced the death of all the older generation of the five major sword sects, Shaolin and Wudang with just his sword. His power was unprecedented.
His prestige was growing day by day, so naturally he dared not be negligent in the slightest.
Especially the fact that he was making friends with righteous people, the more he thought about it, the more uneasy he became.
Just at this moment, Linghu Chong's voice suddenly rang out again.
"I, Linghu Chong, am the 87th best in the world when standing, and the second best when sitting!"
"Only the leader of the Demon Cult, Dongfang Bubai, is slightly better than me and currently ranks first!"
“Plop!”
Qu Yang was startled and quickly stood up. The stool under him suddenly fell to the ground, as if to deliberately remind him. He said in a panic: "Master, please forgive me!"
At the same time, he secretly complained in his heart: My little brother, I have suffered so much for your meal. Dongfang Bubai is here, so don’t talk nonsense!
