The Smiling, Proud Wanderer, Becomes a Disciple of Yue Buqun

Cheng Buyu is a first-class master. With such a master accompanying us, the safety along the way is greatly improved.

March has passed again and we have entered late autumn.

Nothing major has happened in the Huashan Sect in the past few months. There has been no movement since Ren Yingying was rescued by the Four Immortals of Taogu. The same is true for the Songshan Sect, except for the last time when Feng Buping and others instigated a sword fight, the sect has become quiet. The Demon Cult has also been holding back as usual, and the world of martial arts is also very peaceful, but this peace seems very strange, like the calm before a storm.

Jiang Ning was reading a book in the room.

"Senior brother, senior brother."

Ye Ying's voice was heard outside the door.

"Brother, Brother Liang said that someone who said he was your old friend from Sichuan has come up the mountain and is waiting in the main hall. Brother Liang asked me to come and call you."

"An old friend from Sichuan?"

Jiang Ning put down the book, his eyes slightly surprised.

His social circle is very monotonous. If you don't count his fellow disciples from the Huashan Sect, he only has enemies outside, such as Ren Yingying, but no old friends. If we have to name one, it would only be Taoist Zhang from the Qingcheng Sect.

"okay, I get it."

Jiang Ning put down the book and planned to go and see who it was.

Walking all the way to the main hall, a person was waiting in the hall, but it was not the Taoist Zhang that Jiang Ning thought.

This person had his back to Jiang Ning. After hearing the noise behind him, he turned around, looked at Jiang Ning with a smile on his face.

"Amitabha, Mr. Jiang, how are you?"

Jiang Ning looked surprised.

"It's you?"

The person who came was the nun who swept the floor from Qingyun Temple in Mount Emei, Sichuan.

Chapter 163: Emei Orthodoxy

"Amitabha."

Seeing the surprise on Jiang Ning's face, the middle-aged nun laughed.

"It seems that Donor Jiang still remembers me."

Jiang Ning looked her up and down and asked, "What business has Master Nun brought you to Huashan?"

The middle-aged nun clasped her hands together and said, "I, Huiyin, the seventh-generation disciple of the Emei Sect, have come to visit your sect."

Emei Sect?

Jiang Ning narrowed his eyes slightly, looked up and down at the Emei sect disciple who called herself Huiyin, and asked tentatively: "Are you here at Huashan Mountain because of Master Jin Guang's request?"

Huiyin smiled slightly and said, "I am here on behalf of the Emei Sect."

There was no direct answer, but Jiang Ning nodded and didn't ask any more questions.

The other party is not in the same group as Master Jin Guang.

"Please take a seat, Master."

Jiang Ning asked the other party to sit down first, and he went outside to ask Ye Ying to inform Yue Buqun, and then returned to the hall and sat on the chair opposite Huiyin.

"Please forgive my ignorance. I don't understand what Master said just now."

Although he had already guessed something in his heart, Jiang Ning still planned to ask something from the other party.

"Just now, Master Nun said that she was visiting Huashan on behalf of the Emei Sect. However, the current head of the Emei Sect is Master Jin Guang, and Master Jin Guang is in charge. Since Master Nun did not come here on his orders, I don't know which Emei Sect Master Nun was referring to."

Huiyin smiled faintly and said, "Of course it is the orthodox Emei Sect."

Jiang Ning narrowed his eyes and asked, "Master, do you mean that the Emei Sect at the top of Mount Emei is no longer orthodox?"

Huiyin nodded: "Not bad."

People in the Buddhist community love to be witty and speak in a roundabout way, but Huiyin was not like that. She directly admitted it and gave a frank answer to show her sincerity.

At this point, Jiang Ning nodded and didn't ask any more questions.

Things are already very clear. The other party means that she and the people behind her are the true orthodox disciples of Emei, and those monks and Taoists in the Jinding Temple in Mount Emei are not orthodox.

But this also fits Jiang Ning's idea.

A hundred years ago, the Emei Sect was a large women-oriented sect. Although there were some male disciples, their status was lower than that of the female disciples. Now, a hundred years have passed, and the situation within the Emei Sect has reversed. A man has become the sect leader, and all his disciples are men, but there is not a single female disciple to be seen.

It now seems that a dramatic change may have taken place within the Emei Sect during the past century.

"Please sit down for a moment, Master. My master is on his way."

Although Huiyin came to visit Jiang Ning in the name of an old friend, she definitely did not intend to discuss anything with Jiang Ning himself. She and the Emei orthodoxy behind her came for Huashan.

The next words require Yue Buqun to be present, and some things can only be discussed with Yue Buqun present.

Just as Jiang Ning thought, after hearing his words, Huiyin just smiled and nodded, and then began to wait.

While waiting, Huiyin was also secretly observing Jiang Ning.

He was calm and composed, with proper manners. He was courteous and not aggressive in the conversation just now. He really had the demeanor of a disciple from a famous and upright family, and did not look like the man who had done those things in Sichuan.

The news of Jiang Ning's massacre of Yu Canghai and his disciples has spread throughout the martial arts world. This is the first time they have seen someone killing people at the doorstep of someone else's home.

It didn't take long for Yue Buqun to arrive.

"Master."

Jiang Ning stood up.

Huiyin also stood up and saluted Yue Buqun.

Yue Buqun nodded gently: "Yes."

Then he looked at Huiyin who was standing beside him and asked, "Excuse me, who is this nun?"

Jiang Ning said, "Master, this is Master Huiyin, she is here to visit on behalf of the Emei orthodoxy."

Emei orthodoxy?

These four words are interesting.

Yue Buqun narrowed his eyes when he heard this, and thought of something. He glanced at Jiang Ning imperceptibly and found that Jiang Ning nodded slightly to him.

Yue Buqun understood.

The master and the disciple both thought of the same thing.

"I have met Master Yue."

Huiyin saluted.

Yue Buqun smiled and extended his hand to support him: "Master, you are too polite. Please take a seat."

Yue Buqun did not sit in the main seat, but sat next to Jiang Ning.

Huiyin sat down again, and finally had time to look at Yue Buqun, the leader of the Huashan Sect.

As the leader of a sect, Yue Buqun's clothing was not ostentatious. He only wore a green robe and looked very scholarly. He did not look like a leader. Huiyin did not sense any aura from Yue Buqun. Yue Buqun gave people a very ordinary feeling at this time, like a teacher without any martial arts skills.

But Huiyin didn't think that the leader of the Huashan Sect didn't know martial arts. The fact that she couldn't detect it only meant that Yue Buqun's martial arts had reached a high level.

Thinking of this, Huiyin’s expression became even more serious.

"I wonder why Master came all the way to Huashan?"

After sitting down, Yue Buqun began to ask questions.

Although Jiang Ning went to Mount Emei last time with the intention of joining forces with Master Jin Guang and others to fight against the Demon Cult, Jiang Ning did not say it in the end and just left. They probably did not know the Huashan Sect's intention to leave, so why did they suddenly come to them and claim to be the orthodox Emei Sect.

When it comes to serious matters, Huiyin's expression becomes serious.

"Before I explain my purpose, please allow me to explain what I just said. I'm sure Sect Leader Yue and Donor Jiang also have many doubts in their minds at this moment."

Yue Buqun and Jiang Ning nodded slightly.

"Master, please speak."

In fact, they had already guessed it in their hearts, but they still wanted to listen to what was going on.

Huiyin nodded and said, "A hundred years ago, your sect was known as one of the six great sects of the righteous way together with my Emei sect. Since our sect was founded, although we have accepted disciples of all genders, only women can be the head of the Emei sect. But now, not only is the head a monk, but all the members of the sect are men."

Not only can only women be the head of the Emei Sect, but only virgins are qualified. Married women are not qualified either, let alone men.

Yue Buqun nodded slightly.

"Yes, the changes that have taken place in your sect over the past hundred years have indeed surprised other sects. However, your sect has not been active in the martial arts world for many years, and we, the martial artists, do not know what has happened in your sect. We only know that the current head of the Emei sect is Master Jin Guang. Could this be what Master Nun meant?"

Huiyin nodded directly: "Those people who are now in the Jinding Temple of Mount Emei are the thieves who stole our Emei Sect."

At this point, Huiyin's face turned cold.

Yue Buqun and Jiang Ning looked at each other and said nothing.

They do not blindly express their opinions before understanding the whole story.

"Since the death of the third generation patriarch of our sect, the fourth generation leader has disappeared, and there is no one to take over the huge Emei Sect."

The third generation leader of the Emei Sect was Master Miejue, and the fourth generation was Zhou Zhiruo. However, the fourth generation leader was irresponsible and simply disappeared, abandoning the Emei Sect, which made the Emei disciples very angry and helpless.

"At that time, the Emei ancestors could not find a successor, so the position of the head of Emei was temporarily put on hold."

"Until a hundred years ago, the Sun Moon Sect suddenly rose up and brought disaster to the martial arts world."

The Sun-Moon Sect was like a troublemaker, messing up the martial arts world, burning, killing and looting everywhere. After learning that the Emei Sect had the Sword of the Heavenly Sword, they went straight to Mount Emei to steal it.

Chapter 164: Purpose

At that time, the Sword of Heavenly Sword had been destroyed and turned into two broken swords, which had been kept in the treasure house of the Emei Sect.

The members of the Demon Cult attacked the Emei Sect at night, and after a fierce battle with the Emei Sect, they took away half of the broken sword and left. The Emei Sect kept the other half, but paid a heavy price, with many masters killed and injured.

The Sword of Heavenly Sword is the treasure of the Emei Sect. Although it has been destroyed, the masters of the Emei Sect have not given up on repairing this magical weapon. However, the people of the Demon Cult came and took away half of it.

Since then, the Emei Sect has been at odds with the Demon Cult. The masters of the Emei Sect decided that whoever can lead the Emei Sect to fight against the Demon Cult, or take back the other broken sword, will be the master of Emei.

Later, a monk joined the Emei Sect and soon returned the broken sword that was taken away by the evil cult. The monk then became the head of the Emei Sect.
