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

He was not surprised by the help of Songshan Sect. Although he had known about the ambition of Songshan Sect from Fangzheng before, he did not think that Songshan Sect would watch Huashan Sect perish.

Seeing such a large group of people coming down the mountain, Feng Qingyang did not show up, nor did he have any intention of going up to chat with them.

Since there are people in the front mountain, he will go up from the back mountain.

……

"When you met Senior Feng this time, did you notice anything unusual about him?"

night.

In one of the guest rooms on Mount Huashan, Fang Zheng was talking to Fang Sheng.

Fang Sheng shook his head: "No, Senior Feng is still healthy and energetic, and looks even healthier than us."

Fang Zheng frowned when he heard this.

Feng Qingyang is now over eighty years old. Most ordinary people in the secular world would have already passed away, but Feng Qingyang is still alive and well, and it seems that he can live for at least another twenty years.

You can really survive.

Fang Zheng couldn't help but say something in his heart.

"Senior brother."

Fang Sheng's brows were a little depressed at this time: "Old Senior Feng asked Shaolin to solve the crisis of Huashan Sect. Although he didn't say it, he should be planning to use the favor I owe him. But in this situation, I am afraid that I can't repay the favor I owe to Old Senior Feng."

Fang Zheng also felt a little annoyed when he heard this.

Although Fang Sheng owed him this favor, he also had a share in it, but it was all on Fang Sheng's side.

The matter of them owing Feng Qingyang a favor involved an incident that happened decades ago, but that was no longer important.

"In that case, let's leave it at that for now."

Fang Zheng said, "I must repay Senior Feng's favor. Next time, I'll see what Senior Feng wants us to do. As long as it's not too excessive, I'll agree to it."

"Ah."

Fang Sheng nodded, without dwelling on the matter too much, and then brought up another matter.

"Brother, Emei Sect..."

The sad expression on Fang Sheng's face appeared again.

Fang Zheng's face began to look annoyed again.

Chapter 251: Two Old Foxes

To be honest, he had not received any news about the Emei Sect before, so he was in a state of confusion during the day. Fang Zheng didn't like this feeling very much.

"so."

Fang Zheng looked up at Fang Sheng and said, "After this, you should go to Sichuan in person and investigate what happened to the Emei Sect."

"it is good."

Fang Sheng nodded.

After exchanging information, the two fell silent. The dim candlelight in the room illuminated their old faces.

After a moment of silence, Fang Sheng stood up and bowed to leave. Fang Zheng waved his hand to signal him to leave. Only after Fang Sheng left did Fang Zheng's expression relax.

Fang Zheng leaned one hand on the table, supporting his forehead with it, rubbing his eyebrows continuously, with a look of annoyance on his face.

"Songshan... Huashan... Emei..."

Fang Zheng closed his eyes tightly, repeating these words over and over, his brows furrowed deeper and deeper.

……

Early the next morning.

"Master Yue looks refreshed and seems to be doing well."

Fang Zheng, who had no idea when he fell asleep last night, got up early in the morning and took a walk on Mount Huashan, where he ran into Yue Buqun who was also out for a walk.

"Master Abbot, you got up very early too. How was your rest last night?"

Yue Buqun responded with a smile.

Fang Zheng said with a faint smile on his face: "Huashan is a beautiful place with pleasant scenery, so it is natural that I sleep well."

"That's strange to say."

Fang Zheng smiled and said, "I am old now, and my sleep is not that good. In the past, I often suffered from insomnia when I was in Songshan, but I didn't expect that I slept very soundly last night. I think Huashan is really a beautiful place where heaven and earth gather."

"Haha."

Yue Buqun smiled even more when he heard this, and said mischievously: "Since Master Abbot loves Huashan so much, why don't we swap places? I think Songshan is the place with beautiful mountains and rivers."

"Master Yue is joking."

Fang Zheng also laughed.

The Huashan Sect is so poor that only Huashan is left. What is there to exchange for?

After a brief greeting, the two of them took a walk together, all the way from the South Peak to the East Peak. On the way, Fang Zheng brought up the topic again.

"Master Yue is so lucky."

"Oh? Why do you say that, Master?"

Yue Buqun raised his eyebrows, not understanding what Fang Zheng meant.

"Master Yue must have put a lot of effort into having such an outstanding disciple as Jiang Shaoxia. Now Jiang Shaoxia has made a great name for himself in the martial arts world and has great martial arts skills. Our eldest disciple Linghu Chong is also gifted and has surpassed some famous martial arts masters at a young age."

Fang Zheng smiled and said, "Since the dispute over sword energy broke out at Huashan, Master Yue has worked tirelessly for the Huashan Sect and developed it to its current glory. Now that your sect's sword energy has merged, and you have two outstanding disciples like Young Xia Jiang and Young Xia Linghu, Master Yue can now say that all the hard work has paid off."

"hehe."

Yue Buqun chuckled when he heard this: "My master handed over the Huashan Sect to me before he died. All of this is my responsibility. There is no need to say that it is hard work. As for my two bad disciples..."

Yue Buqun paused, and continued: "Ning'er's talent is not bad, it's just that she is quite diligent in her practice, so she has made some achievements, but her character is not up to standard, and she needs more training."

"As for Chong'er, he has a stubborn character and is a cause for concern. If I, Yue, just sit back and hand over the Huashan Sect to them now, I'm afraid that the Huashan Sect that I have worked so hard to build will soon be completely destroyed by the two of them."

When mentioning Jiang Ning and Linghu Chong, Yue Buqun still had the same smile on his face, without any change, and his tone was relaxed and unpredictable, making Fang Zheng unable to guess Yue Buqun's inner thoughts.

But he was at least certain that Yue Buqun had no intention of abdicating for the time being, nor had he decided to whom to pass the position of Huashan's leader.

It seems that Yue Buqun still has some attachment to power...

After receiving this information, Fang Zheng did not make any further comments on this aspect and just mentioned it in two simple sentences.

"At least Sect Leader Yue has a successor, unlike me, who doesn't even have a successor."

Fang Zheng shook his head, looking somewhat helpless.

At this time, the two came to the East Peak and saw a pavilion below. Fang Zheng had good eyesight and saw a chessboard inside.

"Master Yue, this is the famous chess pavilion in Huashan, right?"

Yue Buqun nodded: "Not bad."

Fang Zheng looked at the dangerous path below and the pavilion at the end and said with a smile, "Legend has it that Emperor Taizu of Song, Zhao Kuangyin, once played chess with Chen Tuan here. Emperor Taizu lost to Chen Tuan by one move, so he gave Huashan to him. From then on, this legend was left behind."

"By the way, Sect Leader Yue."

As Fang Zheng was talking, he seemed to recall something. He looked at Yue Buqun and asked curiously, "It is said that Chen Tuan is an ancestor of Taoism. This strange man later lived in seclusion on Mount Hua and left behind the Taoist tradition. Your sect has stood on Mount Hua for hundreds of years. Forgive my limited knowledge, but I wonder if the founder of your sect is this strange man?"

Yue Buqun smiled upon hearing this and said, “Although this strange man left a Taoist tradition in Huashan, and he does have some connection with our Huashan Sect, the founder of our sect was not him, but the founder Hao Datong, the Guangningzi.”

"Oh?"

Fang Zheng's eyes showed surprise: "But is it Guangningzi, one of the Seven Masters of Quanzhen Sect hundreds of years ago?"

Yue Buqun nodded: "Yes, our Huashan Sect is a branch of the Quanzhen Sect hundreds of years ago."

Although Yue Buqun had said before that he was embarrassed to tell outsiders that the Huashan Sect was a branch of the Quanzhen Sect after running it to this extent, he would not deliberately deny it if others asked him about it.

"I didn't expect that Huashan Sect has such a deep connection with Quanzhen Sect."

Fang Zheng was really surprised.

If it were someone else, they might not know the value of Quanzhen Sect, but he, Shaolin, knew it best.

The Quanzhen Sect is the only sect that has surpassed Shaolin to become the largest sect in the world. Even a hundred years ago when Zhang Sanfeng was still alive, Wudang was only on par with Shaolin and did not completely overwhelm Shaolin. It was only Zhang Sanfeng who overwhelmed Shaolin, while the Quanzhen Sect surpassed Shaolin in all aspects.

Although the Quanzhen Sect rose and fell quickly, Shaolin was still impressed by this sect. It did not expect that the Huashan Sect was actually a branch of the Quanzhen Sect.

Fang Zheng did not experience that era, but he could get a glimpse of it from the Huashan Sect.

Even the Huashan Sect, a branch of Quanzhen, was once known as one of the six major sects together with Shaolin a hundred years ago. Even a few decades ago, the Five Mountains Sword Sect dominated by the Huashan Sect was also very famous in the martial arts world.

At that time, Huashan Sect was full of geniuses and masters. The Five Mountains Sword Sects led by Huashan Sect brought great pressure to Shaolin and Wudang. If it weren't for the sword energy dispute that caused the decline of Huashan Sect, Fang Zheng probably wouldn't dare to imagine how powerful Huashan Sect is now.

No wonder the Huashan Sect is so feared by his master.

Fang Zheng thought to himself.

Chapter 252: Chess Game

At this time, Yue Buqun also thought of the Huashan Sect decades ago, and felt a little sad in his heart, but he did not show his emotions on his face.

"Master Yue, since we are both here, why don't we play a game of chess here?"

At this moment, Fang Zheng seemed to suddenly become interested and made a proposal to Yue Buqun.

"At this?"

Yue Buqun was surprised.

"Why? Master Yue doesn't want to play chess with me?"

Fang Zheng said with a smile.

"That's not true."

Yue Buqun chuckled and shook his head: "It's just that no one usually cleans this place, so it's already covered with dust. How about I let my disciples clean it up first, and then I can play chess with the master?"
