The Smiling, Proud Wanderer, becoming a disciple of Yue Buqun

Page 101

"These basic techniques are simple, but when combined, they create a myriad of sword techniques. All the world's most profound sword techniques are derived from the combination of these basic techniques."

After the demonstration, Jiang Ning said to his disciples.

Liu Zhao listened very attentively and said in a childish voice, "I understand, Master."

"Ah."

Jiang Ning nodded, then sat down by the campfire and said, "However, you must know that no matter how skillful your swordsmanship is, or even if it can help us fight enemies of higher levels, we ourselves are the foundation. Only by cultivating internal energy can we break through our own limits."

The most incredible and illogical thing in the martial arts world is internal energy. It exists in the human body and runs through the meridians of the body. It can be used to fight enemies, such as when Jiang Ning used his internal energy to knock out the group of Green Gang members. It can also be used to nourish the body and prolong life. The deeper the internal energy, the more obvious the effect, just like Yue Buqun.

After mastering the Zixia Divine Skill, Yue Buqun always looked like a middle-aged man with jet-black hair. If you didn't know him, you would never know that his real age was older than his appearance.

"Swordsmanship is an external thing. What matters is ourselves. The internal energy cultivation method of our Huashan School is profound and extensive. When we master it to a high level, we can injure people by plucking flowers or flying leaves. At that time, whether we have a sword or not will not have much impact on us."

"I cannot teach you the Huashan Mind Technique right now. You can start practicing it after you return to Huashan and pay respects to your master."

Liu Zhao was a disciple of Jiang Ning, and his grandmaster was Yue Buqun.

Although Jiang Ning had already agreed to take him as a disciple, he still needed to go back and tell Yue Buqun.

Liu Zhao nodded vigorously, his voice still childish: "Yes, Master."

The two remained silent throughout the night, and set off again the next day, arriving in Hanzhong Prefecture three days later.

"Let's rest here for the night and return to Mount Hua tomorrow."

Hanzhong Prefecture is already very close to Mount Hua. At their speed, it should take them about two or three days to reach Mount Hua.

"it is good."

Liu Zhao nodded, then looked at the city of Hanzhong Prefecture with a curious expression.

The customs and lifestyles in Shaanxi are very different from those in Sichuan. He was filled with curiosity about the place, his eyes darting around.

Walking on the main street of Hanzhong Prefecture, one sees a constant flow of people, and Jiang Ning is also watching the changes here.

Unlike the last time when Tian Boguang wreaked havoc here, the people of Hanzhong Prefecture were no longer filled with fear, and women were strolling on the streets.

"I'm sorry, we're really out of ginseng here. You'll have to try other pharmacies."

I passed by a pharmacy and heard the voice of the shopkeeper coming from inside.

Jiang Ning didn't pay much attention; he planned to find an inn to stay in first.

"Okay, sorry for the trouble."

A familiar voice came from inside the pharmacy.

Jiang Ning was slightly surprised and turned to look.

"Sixth Senior Brother?"

Lu Dayou looked dejected and was about to leave when he turned around and saw Jiang Ning standing at the entrance of the pharmacy.

Chapter 147: Young People

"Junior Brother Jiang Ning?"

Lu Dayou looked at Jiang Ning with surprise, then smiled with delight and quickly walked up to Jiang Ning.

"You're back from Sichuan? Why did you take so long?"

Jiang Ning smiled and said, "Something came up and I was delayed."

Lu Dayou said with a happy expression, "You're finally back. Master missed you very much."

Jiang Ning chuckled and asked, "How have you been, Master and Mistress?"

"Everything is fine, it's just that Master keeps thinking about you."

Lu Dayou said.

After he finished speaking, he noticed Liu Zhao hiding behind Jiang Ning.

Lu Dayou asked in surprise, "Junior brother, who is this child?"

"My disciple is named Liu Zhao."

Jiang Ning replied, and then introduced Liu Zhao: "This is your sixth senior uncle."

Liu Zhao was a little shy, and only after Jiang Ning introduced him did he reveal himself and bow to Lu Dayou.

"Greetings, Sixth Martial Uncle."

Lu Dayou stared in disbelief and said, "You've taken on an apprentice?"

"Ah."

Jiang Ning nodded and said, "I was just about to take him back to Mount Hua to see my master."

Lu Da looked like he was living in a dream. None of the second-generation disciples had taken on any disciples, but Jiang Ning had done so before them.

"By the way, Senior Brother."

Jiang Ning then asked, "I heard you wanted to buy ginseng earlier, is something wrong?"

Lu Dayou then came to his senses and nodded upon hearing this, saying, "It's because Senior Brother is injured and needs ginseng to nourish his body. Master asked me to go down the mountain to buy some ginseng."

"Is Senior Brother injured?"

Jiang Ning asked in surprise, "What happened?"

"It's a long story, let's talk about it as we walk."

Lu Dayou said.

"it is good."

Jiang Ning nodded and followed Lu Dayou.

As Lu Dayou walked, he said, "It's strange, but a while ago, six oddballs came up the mountain. They were looking for our senior brother and wanted him to come down the mountain with them."

"Six strange people?"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Ning narrowed his eyes and asked, "What do those six strange people look like?"

His words stumped Lu Dayou, because he didn't know how to describe it. After struggling for a while, he finally managed to say, "Anyway, they're all ugly, so ugly that you don't want to eat when you see them."

"But they are very skilled in martial arts and call themselves the Six Immortals of Peach Valley or something like that."

After Lu Dayou finished speaking, he complained, "They're so ugly, I think calling them the Six Ugly Men of Peach Valley would be more fitting."

"Junior brother, you don't know, they look like short, stunned radishes that have come to life. Junior sister said she had nightmares every night after seeing them."

"They were talking incoherently, and we didn't know who they were. They wanted to take our senior brother down the mountain, but he refused. So they attacked him by force and injured him. Later, when Uncle Cheng came to his aid, they tried to tear him to pieces."

Lu Dayou said, still feeling lingering fear.

"Their martial arts are very strange, we've never seen them before. We didn't even see them move before they grabbed Uncle Cheng's limbs. If Master and Uncle Feng hadn't intervened in time, Uncle Cheng would have been torn to pieces."

Cheng Buyou's strength was also top-notch, but he was powerless against these six strange people and was easily captured by them. Their strength was terrifying.

"Those six strange men were eventually injured by Master and fled down the mountain. We couldn't catch up with them. Their movements were very strange. Master said they might be practicing unorthodox martial arts."

Jiang Ning seemed to be deep in thought.

"That's right, Junior Brother."

As if he had just thought of something, Lu Dayou looked at Jiang Ning and asked, "Did you really kill Abbot Yu of the Qingcheng Sect and his disciples?"

A letter from Zhang, a Taoist priest from the Qingcheng Sect, was delivered to Mount Hua some time ago, and they all knew about it. However, Lu Dayou still found it unbelievable after hearing it and wanted to get confirmation from Jiang Ning.

"Ah."

Jiang Ning was pondering the matter of the Six Immortals of Peach Valley when he heard Lu Dayou's words; he simply nodded casually.

Lu Dayou was dumbfounded.

The Qingcheng Sect was a well-known sect in the martial arts world, and Yu Canghai was a renowned master. How could they be wiped out so easily?

The Huashan Sect and the Qingcheng Sect had become enemies. Lu Dayou originally thought that Yu Canghai would confront the Huashan Sect in the future, but Jiang Ning solved the problem at its root by going to Sichuan.

Lu Dayou didn't even know how to describe this kind of action and execution.

"Junior brother, what happened during your trip to Qingcheng Sect? Tell your senior brother everything."

After the initial shock, Lu Dayou quickly became curious about the matter.

"This one……"

Jiang Ning smiled and said, "It's a long story. I'll tell you about it later, Senior Brother."

"Ok."

Although Lu Dayou was very curious, he suppressed his curiosity for the time being.

In his view, this kind of thing really can't be explained in just a few words.

"Let's go back to the inn first."

Lu Dayou planned to take Jiang Ning back to the inn to rest first.

Walking down the street, surrounded by bustling pedestrians and constant noise, Liu Zhao was curious about everything.

Jiang Ning, on the other hand, was pondering the matter of the Six Immortals of Peach Valley.

The sudden appearance of these six people, and their specific request to find Linghu Chong, clearly indicated that they were acting on someone's instructions or signal.

Jiang Ning thought of Ren Yingying.

Only she could have directed these six people to go up the mountain to find Linghu Chong.

What he couldn't understand was why Ren Yingying was looking for Linghu Chong, since the two of them hadn't had any interaction so far.

Jiang Ning's eyes narrowed involuntarily at the thought of Ren Yingying.

Jiang Ning, Lu Dayou, and Liu Zhao were walking on the street, still some distance from the inn where Lu Dayou was staying.

"I didn't expect you to start taking on disciples, Junior Brother. When we get back, Senior Brother and the other senior and junior brothers will be very surprised. We'll be senior uncles and senior masters from now on, hahaha."

Lu Dayou said with a smile as he walked.

Jiang Ning just smiled when he heard this. As the two were talking, a young man brushed past them.

Jiang Ning, who was talking to Lu Dayou, stopped in his tracks.

"what happened?"

Lu Dayou also stopped and looked at Jiang Ning curiously, but he noticed that Jiang Ning's expression gradually turned cold.

"Sixth Senior Brother, may I borrow your sword?"

Jiang Ning did not answer, but said something to Lu Dayou. Then, without waiting for Lu Dayou's reply, he grabbed the hilt of his sword, turned around, and leaped towards the young man.

The sound of breaking wind came.

The young man, who was walking down the street, suddenly felt an alarm bell ringing behind him. He turned around and saw Jiang Ning raising his sword and slashing at him.

The young man's expression changed, and he retreated rapidly.

Before he could react, Jiang Ning lunged forward and slashed horizontally with his sword.

The incident happened so suddenly that the young man had no time to think. Seeing Jiang Ning's ruthless moves, he immediately drew his short sword and began to fight Jiang Ning.

"This……"

Lu Dayou was dumbfounded.

What's happening here?

As they were both disciples of Mount Hua, he recognized Jiang Ning's move as the starting stance of the Deadly Three Rings Three Immortal Swords.

This is one of the Sword Sect's signature techniques, and also a very ruthless move. Jiang Ning started with a killing move; what kind of grudge is this?

Chapter 148: Ren Yingying

when!

As weapons clashed, the young man's arm went numb.
