The Ballad of Youth: Inheriting Daoji, Li Hanyi, the Escapee from Marriage

It's only because there's no one around here; otherwise, if others saw this scene, they would probably exclaim that they'd seen a ghost!

How could a perfectly healthy person just suddenly disappear?

what?

You said that the legendary pinnacle of martial arts, the Divine Travel Realm, allows one to "sit quietly with eyes closed, yet let one's thoughts roam freely for thousands of miles." Why has no one thought of this?

Then you'd be wrong, because this mystical realm of divine travel hasn't appeared in this world for far too long! It's already a legend!

If you were to actually encounter that mystical realm, wouldn't that be no different from seeing a ghost?

…………

On the other side, a horse-drawn carriage was parked on the snow-covered path.

On the roof of the carriage, a man wearing a straw hat and a long robe in dark red and black sat with his head down so that his face could not be seen, but two strands of white hair hung down to his temples.

Against the backdrop of heavy snowfall, it creates an indescribable atmosphere.

His name is Tang Lian, and he is the senior disciple of Snow Moon City, one of the four great cities in the world.

This time, I was ordered to escort the golden coffin inside the carriage to Kowloon Gate.

And from this, we can see that the reason he stayed here was not to seek any artistic conception, nor was it because he was bored.

It was because someone wanted to take action against the goods he was escorting, and the enemy had even surrounded him in the shadows while he was resting.

So he had no choice but to stay there and wait for those with ill intentions to come out on their own.

Only after we've dealt with them all can we continue the escort mission.

"New fermented wine from green ants, small red clay stove."

"The evening sky threatens snow; shall we share a cup?"

On the roof of the carriage, he watched as more and more江湖 (jianghu, the martial arts world) henchmen—no, jianghu figures—approached him in a circle.

Tang Lian was highly skilled and daring, and did not show any signs of wariness immediately.

Sensing the pitifully low level of internal energy cultivation these people possessed compared to him, he pulled out a jade wine cup from who-knows-where, swirling the wine inside while muttering incantations.

It has to be said that when this guy first appeared, he was incredibly arrogant.

As for what happened later...

Perhaps, like Xiao Se, he was infected by Lei Wujie, which is why he seems like a somewhat honest person?

"Brother, what a refined taste! We can drink this wine... but you must leave the things in the carriage behind!"

The group of unknowns were completely unaware of the seriousness of the situation, still thinking they were powerful because they outnumbered each other.

Little did they know that with their cultivation levels of only seventh or eighth grade, facing Tang Lian, a first-grade Vajra Realm cultivator, their numbers... had long become meaningless!

"Oh? You want me to leave the things in the carriage?"

"Do you know what's in my carriage? And... who gave you this confidence?"

"Instead of focusing on improving your cultivation, you dare to rob and plunder with your meager seventh or eighth-grade cultivation? You even dare to covet the things in my carriage?"

To be honest, Tang Lian herself didn't know what was inside the carriage or the golden coffin.

But this doesn't seem to affect his ability to mock these ignorant lackeys, or his ability to show off, does it?

"Arrogant! We're only at the seventh or eighth rank of cultivation... as if you, a mere young man, could possibly have any higher cultivation level!"

"Brothers, charge!"

The leader of the henchmen was enraged by Tang Lian's disdain!

Yes, the world is indeed not lacking in geniuses, including the main characters in the original work, each of whom had a cultivation level of Vajra Reversal Realm or above in their teens or twenties!

But this is, after all, a real world!

Besides the main characters, there are tens of thousands of other people living in this country!

Compared to that small group of geniuses, most martial artists are just ordinary people!

Those who have mediocre talent can only improve their cultivation level by accumulating experience over time!

So, this henchman's values ​​are perfectly fine, aren't they?

Judging by his age, this young man in front of me doesn't seem ridiculously strong, does he?

In addition, since he now has the advantage in numbers, he actually sees himself as the stronger party. That's why they got angry and dared to get angry after Tang Lian's mockery!

"go to hell!"

At the leader's command, a full thirty or forty henchmen with cultivation levels ranging from the eighth to the sixth rank rushed towards Tang Lian!

Some of them held machetes, some drew long swords from their sides, and some simply leaped into the air using their fists and feet.

Fortunately, Tang Lian's cultivation level was not on the same level as these guys at all, so he only needed to wave his arm!

The immense internal energy, visible to the naked eye, swept through the wind and snow, and with a loud boom, it sent them all flying!

"Pfft!" "Pfft!" "Cough cough!"

Although no martial arts skills were used, the internal energy erupted in a substantial way, which was like being hit in the chest with a sledgehammer.

Faced with the absolute difference in cultivation level, these thirty or forty people all coughed up blood and their eyes turned red.

Those who had weapons had them broken, and those who had no weapons fared even worse, lying on the ground rolling around with broken arms and legs.

Tang Lian's expression didn't change much when he saw this. Come to think of it, he had encountered countless groups of small fry like this along the way.

At first, he thought he should kill them to eliminate any future troubles, but later he gave up on that idea and realized that these people were just blinded by greed. He just needed to scare them into submission. Killing too many people would make him uncomfortable!

Tang Lian didn't look at the group of henchmen again. He quickly moved and returned to the front of the carriage to sit in the driver's seat.

Just as he was about to take out the wine jug beside him and have a good drink, a figure suddenly appeared in front of him. A man wearing a tattered cassock, walking unsteadily, neither a monk nor a madman, blocked his way!

"What, you're interested in this too?"

"Look at those people behind you. If you don't have the strength... I advise you to give up this idea!"

…………

Chapter 4: A Rain of Pear Blossom Needles! Tang Lian was dumbfounded!

"Oh dear, please don't be so hostile!"

"Even if I do want what's yours, we can sit down and talk it over, can't we?"

The person approaching from the front of the carriage was none other than Li Xiuyuan.

At this moment, he was making faces at the wine in Tang Lian's hand, his throat bobbing, revealing his intense desire.

That makes sense, the great lord of Snowmoon City is known as the Wine Immortal!

Although Tang Lian, as his disciple, was not skilled in brewing, the wine he drank and the wine he took with him on his trips were all of the finest quality.

What is Li Xiuyuan after coming all this way for? Is it the pure gold coffin? Or the little monk Wuxin inside?

Those are all illusions!

He just wanted some good wine; he just inadvertently revealed a "slight" hint of desire. Why was the other person so angry?

"Sit down and talk it out? I have nothing to talk about with guys like you!"

"I'm giving you one last piece of advice: if you want what's in my carriage, you'd better think twice about your own capabilities!"

Tang Lian responded coldly, putting down the wine jar in his hand and lightly flicking his fingertips to catch several finger-sized hidden weapons!

"The things in the carriage? No, no, no, my benefactor, you have completely misunderstood me."

"All I want is this jug of wine in your hand!"

“I heard it from far away. You told those people that they could have drinks and then leave in exchange.”

"Why are you unhappy with me, the monk?"

Even if Li Xiuyuan is having a crazy and carefree time, he feels that this lifestyle is not bad given his strength, and he can slowly improve his integration level, thus forming a virtuous cycle.

But he's not stupid, nor does he have any memory loss.

Hearing Tang Lian say this, he immediately realized that the other party probably thought he was the one who wanted the golden coffin.

But as he said, he had no interest in the little monk in the coffin!

Including that coffin made entirely of gold...

To be honest, if he wanted it, even without using supernatural powers to conjure it, with his strength, he could easily obtain the same amount of money.

Isn't that easy?

But he didn't want it! It was all a bubble, all an illusion!

Fine wine and beautiful women are the only things we should not miss!

Ahem, what a sin (making a whole pot of this)! What a sin (making a whole pot of this)!

He's a monk, a person on spiritual practice; he can't be thinking about these things!

"You agree, right? We all have two arms and two legs, so you have no reason to treat us differently, do you?"

"How about this, you share your wine with me, and then I'll just turn around and leave?"

As he spoke, Li Xiuyuan slowly moved his feet, approaching Tang Lian and his carriage.

"What a ridiculous statement... Since you're unwilling to back down, don't blame me for showing mercy!"

Whoosh!!

Three consecutive whooshing sounds rang out, almost invisible to the naked eye. Three curved fingertip hidden weapons called "Fingertip Blades" were attached with internal force and shot out towards Li Xiuyuan in three different directions!

Its sharp edges gleamed with a chilling light under the sunlight, and in the blink of an eye, it was already upon Li Xiuyuan's forehead! (23sK.com)

"Why didn't he dodge?!"

"Is it because you can't avoid it, or because you disdain to avoid it?"

Tang Lian's question was answered in the next moment.

Li Xiuyuan's smile remained unchanged. Just as the hidden weapon was about to hit him, he seemed to suddenly feel an itch in his nose, took two deep breaths, and then sneezed!
