Martial Arts World Assassin

Chapter 4 Token
When Huang Sixi heard Mu Renqing's name, he felt a little disturbed: "So this is the world of The Sword of Blood and Jade."

He was not surprised. After all, he had inherited the acupuncture techniques and internal strength. He had a premonition that the world he traveled through was not a purely historical dynasty.

In fact, the more martial arts world it is, the better, otherwise his talent for absorbing martial arts will hardly be put to good use.

However, it is only the eleventh year of Chongzhen, and Yuan Chengzhi is still practicing martial arts in seclusion in Huashan. He will not come down the mountain until the sixteenth year of Chongzhen. During this period, nothing major will happen in the Central Plains martial arts world.

"What's your name?" Huang Sixi began to interrogate the fair-skinned young man's identity.

"My name is Bao Zhong!"

"Which Tartar do you serve in Shengjing?"

"My name is Bao Chengxian. I am a Han Chinese and was appointed as a Grand Secretary in the palace by the Tartar Emperor."

"That's a hardcore traitor."

This kind of traitor who works as a civil servant is more harmful than tens of thousands of Tartar soldiers.

Huang Sixi picked up the green bamboo stick and pointed it at Bao Zhong: "What did Mr. Bao send you to the Central Plains for? Are you going to collect intelligence on the Ming Dynasty?"

Bao Zhong quickly denied: "Sir, it was actually Master Bao's son Bao Jing who sent me to the Central Plains to buy a book for him."

"what book?"

"This book is in the little man's package."

"In your package there is a copy of The Peony Pavilion and a copy of The Secret Book of Mandarin Ducks... Damn it, you came all the way to the Central Plains just to buy these pornographic paintings?"

"Master Bao Jing wanted to see it and forced me to buy it. I dared not disobey him. Liaodong is a bitter and cold place, and I can't buy exquisite paintings. I can only go south to the Central Plains. I dare not let Master Bao know about this, otherwise I will definitely bring a few more guards!"

"Why bring extra guards? Are you thinking about how to take revenge on me?"

Huang Sixi's tone was cold and hard.

Bao Zhong sensed Huang Sixi's murderous intent and his teeth chattered with fear.

"Master, Master, I dare not take revenge on you even if I have the guts of a Tartar! Please don't kill me yet, I still have use for you!"

Bao Zhong's reaction was quite quick, and he specifically took advantage of Huang Sixi's hobby to attack: "Didn't you just ask about the Beggars' Sect's ancestral treasure? I know the whereabouts of the Beggars' Sect's golden bowl!"

When he saw Huang Sixi holding a green bamboo stick, he thought he must attach great importance to the token of the Beggars' Gang, so he revealed the news about the golden bowl.

In fact, the golden bowl is not a precious treasure, it just has a great symbolic meaning.

When beggars go out to beg for food, they usually carry two things: one is a stick to drive away dogs, and the other is a broken bowl to beg for food.

When the Beggars' Gang was first established, they followed the beggars' custom and cast two major tokens, the dog-beating stick and the golden bowl, and set up two major positions, the stick leader and the bowl leader, to look after the tokens.

The Dog Beating Stick has been passed down since ancient times. It is the famous staff of the Beggars' Sect leader. The leader always carries it with him when traveling, and it is well known to his fellow martial artists.

But the golden bowl is kept at the headquarters all year round and the gang leader never carries it with him.

After all, the gang leader is a well-known figure, and we can’t let him beg for food with a bowl in his hand.

It is precisely because the golden bowl was stored in a hidden place for a long time that it was able to be passed down from generation to generation.

Bao Zhong pointed out: "Uncle, the dog-beating stick in your hand is a fake, but the golden bowl is the real ancestor of the Beggars' Sect. Big Beard Lin is the elder who holds the bowl. He said that the golden bowl was passed down from the Yuan Dynasty, and it is at least a 300-year-old antique!"

Yuan Dynasty antiques?

Huang Sixi had earlier lamented that the Beggar Gang's Dog Beating Stick was destroyed and he had no chance to see it.

As a result, there was still one Beggar Gang golden bowl left.

"Where is the golden bowl hidden?"

"Inside the Bao Mansion! When Big Beard Lin fled from the Central Plains to Liaodong, he brought the Beggars' Sect's Golden Bowl with him. When he sought refuge with Master Bao, he offered the bowl as a gift. There was a dragon pattern engraved inside the bowl. Big Beard Lin said that the dragon pattern might be a martial arts secret, but he couldn't understand it, so he asked Master Bao to help identify the ancient text!"

"Dragon pattern? What dragon pattern?" "I don't know. Master Bao didn't identify it, or maybe Big Beard Lin made a mistake."

"Then is the Bao Mansion in Shengjing?"

"The Bao Mansion is in Shengjing, but Mr. Bao assigned me to transport the golden bowl to the Bao family's old house, which is outside Shengjing!"

"Where exactly?"

"The old house is located in Lutou Village, 20 miles south of Shengjing. The golden bowl is hidden in the cellar in the inner courtyard. Only I know the entrance to the cellar. I am willing to lead the way for you. In that cellar, there is not only the golden bowl, but also Mr. Bao's private collection. All of them are priceless. There are tens of thousands of taels of gold and silver alone!"

Bao Zhong is eloquent and worthy of being a lackey.

He gradually revealed the treasures of the Bao family and pointed out his own value in order to weaken Huang Sixi's murderous intention. He felt that Huang Sixi would definitely become greedy when he heard the news of gold, silver and treasures, so he asked him to lead the way.

Otherwise, why would Huang Sixi be a strong man? Why would the cat rob people on the mountain road in the cold weather? It's all for money and wealth.

After hearing this, Huang Sixi pondered for a moment, then suddenly raised his stick and aimed at the "Tanzhong Point" at Bao Zhongzheng's heart.

Tanzhong and Yuzhen are the vital points among the human body, and if hit, the person will die.

Huang Sixi did not hesitate. He stretched out his arm and thrust the tip of the stick directly into Bao Zhong's chest and abdomen.

Bao Zhong's eyes widened. He would never believe that Huang Sixi was so determined to kill him. All his long speeches were in vain.

Huang Sixi took back the green bamboo stick, took out a piece of cloth, and slowly wiped the bloodstains while thinking about his next move.

He was not indifferent to what Bao Zhong said about the treasure hidden in the outer house.

He will find a way to get the golden bowl that is passed down from the ancestors of the Beggars' Sect.

He had previously confirmed that he had traveled to the world of "The Sword Stained with Royal Blood".

Master Jin's martial arts are often passed down from generation to generation. If the golden bowl is really an antique from the Yuan Dynasty, it should have been passed down from the era of "The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber".

There aren't any decent martial arts in "The Sword Stained with Royal Blood", the most famous of which is the Huashan School's Hunyuan Gong.

As long as you master the Hunyuan Gong, you can become one of the top masters in the world.

Mu Renqing's second disciple Gui Xinshu was known as the "Invincible Divine Fist" because he practiced Hunyuan Gong well.

The third disciple Yuan Chengzhi was able to surpass his master, also benefiting from the solid inner strength foundation laid by Hunyuan Gong.

But even though Yuan Chengzhi had mastered the Hunyuan Gong and inherited the mantle of the Golden Snake Prince, he was captured alive when he sneaked into the Shengjing Palace to assassinate Huang Taiji.

Therefore, the strongest martial arts in "Sword Stained with Royal Blood" has no upper limit, and it is just that even if you practice it to the highest level.

Huang Sixi hopes to find other more advanced martial arts.

Perhaps the Beggar Gang’s golden bowl contains some magical skills from the Yuan Dynasty.

Of course, there may be nothing in the golden bowl.

But Huang Sixi didn't want to miss the opportunity.

What if the Beggar Gang’s “Dog Beating Stick Technique” is hidden in the golden bowl?

The Thirty-Six Moves of the Dog Beating Stick Technique in Master Jin's martial arts is a top-notch martial art, much more powerful than the Hunyuan Gong.

The key point is that this martial art has been lost and no one can use it now, so he can't swallow it even if he wants to.

He happened to be in Liaodong now, so he could go and look for it, as the distance was not far anyway.

He had passed by the Lutou Village that Bao Zhong mentioned before and knew the terrain there. There were no Tatar cavalry patrolling there, so it would not be a problem for him to sneak in at night.

As for the specific location of the treasure, he would rather spend more time searching for it himself than let Bao Zhong go with him.
