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

Lin Pingzhi planned to bury his parents' remains in the ancestral tomb, but when he arrived he found that the tomb had been dug up and the remains of his ancestors were exposed in the wilderness.

"At first I thought it was Yu Canghai who did this in order to find my family's Sword Manual of Exorcism. Later, I rebuilt my ancestral tomb and went to the ancestral hall of Xiangyang's old house to worship my ancestors. I accidentally found a cassock and discovered that the sword technique of my family's Sword Manual of Exorcism was written on it."

Sword manual to ward off evil?

Everyone was shocked when they heard this.

They all knew that the Book of the Sword of Exorcism was very famous in the martial arts world some time ago.

Yue Buqun frowned and asked, "What happened next?"

"Later, three groups of men in black suddenly appeared and took away the robe."

Having said this, Lin Pingzhi's originally gnashing teeth expression became a little confused.

"They all said they were from the Demon Cult, and they came for my family's Sword Manual of Exorcism, and they even started fighting."

Three groups of men in black? They even started fighting?

Lin Pingzhi's words left everyone confused.

"Later, the cassock was taken away by one of the black-clothed men. Another group of black-clothed men went after the cassock, and finally that group of black-clothed men chased us, wanting to get the formula of the Sword Manual of Exorcism from me."

Cheng Buyou took him to avoid being hunted by the group of men in black, and during the process, his injuries became more and more serious in order to protect him.

Lin Pingzhi asked him not to worry about him, but the old and conservative Taoist priest refused to leave, saying that no elder would abandon a younger person and run away alone. Later, Cheng Buyou even planned to use his own life to cover Lin Pingzhi's escape.

"If it weren't for Uncle Cheng, I would have died."

Lin Pingzhi's voice was choked with sobs.

"It was me who harmed Uncle Cheng. After I escaped from Fujian, I wanted to seek help from my father's friends, but I didn't expect that they also wanted to steal my family's Sword Manual of Exorcism."

There was a strong hatred in Lin Pingzhi's tone. He did not expect that his father's former friends would kill him, especially when that person was his father's best friend. Lin Pingzhi was even held in his arms by that person when he was a child. The two families had a very close relationship.

After escaping from Fujian, Lin Pingzhi and Cheng Buyu were chased by three groups of people in total. One group was the men in black who wanted to get the Sword Manual of Exorcism from him, one group was his father's good friends, and the other group was people from the martial arts world.

After the news of Lin Pingzhi's appearance in Fujian spread, people in the martial arts world also wanted to find him and get the Sword Manual of Exorcism. In order to avoid being hunted down, the suffering that Lin Pingzhi and Cheng Buyou endured during this period could not be described as miserable.

Listening to Lin Pingzhi's self-blame, Yue Buqun sighed and helped him up: "This is not your fault."

Yue Buqun comforted him: "The human heart is the most difficult to see directly. As the saying goes, you can know a person's face but not his heart. You are still young and don't know how dangerous the world is. I don't blame you."

"Although there was an accident when we went down the mountain this time, fortunately you and your uncle Cheng are still alive. This is a blessing in disguise. Don't think too much about it."

"Yes, Master."

Lin Pingzhi nodded.

"Okay, you've had a hard time on this trip, go and rest first."

Yue Buqun patted his shoulder and told him to go and rest first.

Lin Pingzhi took the order and withdrew. Jiang Ning looked at his back and fell into deep thought.

Three groups of men in black? They all claimed to be members of the Demonic Cult? They even started fighting?

Jiang Ning keenly sensed that something was wrong, looked towards Yue Buqun, and found that Yue Buqun was also frowning.

……

Hebei.

A group of men in black were steering a boat on the lake.

These people wore masks, leaving only their eyes exposed, revealing a cold and cruel look.

The leader, a man in black, was holding a wooden tray covered with a black cloth in both hands. No one knew what was inside.

The boat sailed on the lake for some distance and came to a strange place.

The surrounding rocks were as red as blood, as if they were dyed with blood.

The group of men in black got off the boat and walked north. After walking for an unknown amount of time, they came to a strange terrain.

Two towering rocks formed a narrow passage in the middle, guarded outside by a group of men in black.

The leader of the group of men in black came to the stone path holding a wooden tray and stood there. Just as he was about to go in, two crossed spears blocked his way.

"Password."

One of the men in black looked at him coldly.

The leading man in black lowered his head and spoke in a low voice when he heard this.

"The sun rises in the east, the leader is invincible, his literary and martial virtues benefit all living things."

"Token."

The guards still did not let the man in black in.

Upon hearing this, the man in black took out an iron token from his arms and waved it in front of the man.

Written on the token were the words "Seven-Star Messenger Zhao Ming".

The guard then let him pass.

The man in black walked into the stone path. There were members of the Sun and Moon Sect guarding the entire way. There was a sentry every five steps and a guard post every ten steps. The security was very strict.

After leaving the stone road, an open mountain road appeared in front of them, and the man in black went up the mountain along the road.

The mountain road was very steep and dangerous. The men in black walked up the stone steps, asking for passwords and tokens at every checkpoint.

After passing through numerous checkpoints and being interrogated numerous times, the man in black finally arrived at the top of the cliff, where a grand hall came into view.

The main hall is magnificent and majestic. The clouds pass through the top of the cliff, and the main hall is hidden in the clouds, making it even more mysterious.

The man in black came to the front of the hall, holding a wooden plate above his head, and shouted loudly: "I am Zhao Ming, the Seven Star Envoy. I went out on the orders of the Grand Steward and now I am back to report."

There was no response for a long time after the words were spoken. After a while, four men in purple walked out of the hall.

One of them said to the man in black.

"The chief steward orders you to go to Chengde Hall for an audience."

"Yes."

The man in black said respectfully, then followed the four men into the hall without straightening up the entire time.

"Brother Zhao, congratulations. You have come back this time to report back. I believe the chief steward values ​​you even more."

A man in purple who was close to the man in black on the road laughed.

"When Brother Zhao becomes successful, please treat us brothers to a drink."

The man in black was not at all careless when he heard this, and said, "If I am really promoted by the chief steward, I will never forget you brothers."

When the man heard what he said, he immediately smiled. Although the other three people didn't say anything, they all had a faint smile on their faces.

The men in black, led by four men in purple, came to Chengde Hall. The hall was empty except for one person waiting in the center.

The man had his back to everyone, wearing a red and black satin robe. He had a burly figure and his hands were behind his back, so his face could not be seen clearly.

Upon seeing this person, the man in black immediately knelt down with his hands raised above his head.

"I, Zhao Ming, was ordered by the Grand Steward to go to Fujian to seize the Sword Manual of Exorcism a few months ago. Fortunately, I have fulfilled my mission and have taken the sword manual back. Please check it for me, Grand Steward."

The voice of the man in black echoed in the hall.

Upon hearing this, the person in the hall turned around and revealed his appearance.

He has a handsome appearance, eyes and brows like stars, and the curly beard on his face not only does not look rough, but instead makes him look extremely majestic.

After the man in black finished speaking, one of the men in purple took the wooden tray from his hand and respectfully came to Yang Lianting.

Yang Lianting lifted the black cloth on the wooden tray and saw a cassock lying quietly.

Yang Lianting looked at the cassock, but did not flip through it immediately. Instead, he looked at the man in black kneeling on the ground and said, "Zhao Ming, is this the Sword Manual of Exorcism that you mentioned?"

Yang Lianting's voice was low but very pleasant.

Zhao Ming said respectfully, "Yes, Chief Steward, I found this cassock in the ancestral hall of Lin Ping's family. The swordsmanship of the Sword Manual of Exorcism is written on it."

Yang Lianting did not say anything, but just nodded slightly, then picked up the cassock from the wooden tray and waved to the four men in purple. The four men immediately retreated, leaving only Yang Lianting and Zhao Ming in the hall.

Yang Lianting opened the cassock and saw that the inside was covered with densely packed small characters.

"If you want to practice this skill, you must castrate yourself first?"

As soon as he saw these eight words, Yang Lianting's face suddenly darkened and he glanced at Zhao Ming.

"Are you sure that this is the Sword Manual of Exorcism?"

"I dare not deceive the chief steward."

Zhao Ming's body trembled inexplicably and he spoke quickly.

"I searched the Fuwei Escort Agency in Fujian from top to bottom, and even dug up the Lin family's ancestral tomb, but I still couldn't find the whereabouts of the Sword Manual of Exorcism. It wasn't until Lin Pingzhi returned to Fujian that I secretly followed him to the ancestral hall of the old house, and only then did I find this cassock."

When Zhao Ming first saw the words on the cassock, he felt unbelievable and suspected that it was a fake Sword Manual of Exorcism. However, he had gained nothing in the past few months except this cassock. If this continued, Zhao Ming knew that Yang Lianting would not let him go. In addition, when he read the sword manual on it, he felt it was profound and obscure, so he had no choice but to give it a try and bring the cassock back.

Hearing these words, Yang Lianting frowned slightly, but didn't say anything else. Instead, he looked at it carefully.

After a while.

Yang Lianting put away his robes.

He can not understand.

But it is certain that the sword manual above is very likely to be true.

Yang Lianting's expression was unremarkable, and he said to Zhao Ming, "Get up."

Zhao Ming stood up after hearing that, still bending slightly, but his posture was a little unnatural, with his left shoulder slightly higher than his right shoulder.

Yang Lianting noticed this.

"You are hurt?"

"Yes."

Zhao Ming then told what had happened.
