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

Page 430

Although he was not clear about Zhu Shou's identity, since the other party could find this place and also command a Vice Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, his identity must be very noble, and he might be a member of the royal family.

But it was precisely this point that he wanted Jiang Ning to be alert to.

The underworld has always been at odds with the imperial court. People in the underworld hate the imperial court very much, and the imperial court is also very disgusted with these underworld people who have strong personal martial arts powers.

It was not a big deal for Jiang Ning to be awarded the title of Guanzhong hero by the court. After all, it was just a title and there was no official position or salary. But if those people in the martial arts world knew that Jiang Ning was close to people in the court, it would not be so simple. I am afraid that even his Huashan Sect would be looked at strangely.

Jiang Ning nodded.

"Master, don't worry."

Yue Buqun said nothing more, he knew Jiang Ning knew his limits.

Another month passed.

"Master, I want to go down the mountain."

Jiang Ning found Yue Buqun.

This time Yue Buqun did not refuse.

"Okay, Master will let Chong'er go with you."

Chapter 481: Going Down the Mountain

Chapter 481: Going down the mountain

Yue Buqun did not stop Jiang Ning from going down the mountain.

"When are you going to leave?"

Jiang Ning smiled and said, "It's better to do it today than to wait for a day. Let's do it today."

Yue Buqun shook his head: "Too hasty, let's go tomorrow. We should have a good meal before leaving, right? Besides, we need to prepare the horses in advance."

Jiang Ning nodded.

"Yes, Master."

"Ning'er, Chong'er, you will be going down the mountain tomorrow. I won't say much about the other things. Just be careful."

At the dinner table, Yue Buqun said.

"Master, rest assured. I will be safe with Junior Brother Jiang Ning. If we really encounter any danger, I will do my best to bring Junior Brother Jiang Ning back."

Linghu Chong hastily assured.

"What are you fighting for?"

Yue Buqun glared at him.

"No matter who you two are, you are both my disciples. You must return safely."

"Yes, Master!"

Linghu Chong chuckled and felt warm in his heart.

It was the first time he heard Yue Buqun care about him like this.

"Ning'er."

Yue Buqun looked at Jiang Ning. "You must be more careful when you go to Fujian this time. People outside are saying that you have the Sword Manual of Exorcism. Although you are a martial arts expert and can intimidate some people, there are still some who are not afraid of death. Ordinary means are not bad, but I am afraid that they will use conspiracy and poison."

Jiang Ning's martial arts are not strong enough to be invincible. Even if he is, if he is not careful and falls into someone else's trap or is poisoned, he will be out of reach in Huashan, and the lives of Jiang Ning and Linghu Chong will be in danger.

"Master, rest assured. I will be more careful."

Jiang Ning nodded.

Yue Buqun hummed, and then got down to business: "Actually, it's good for you to go to Fujian. I also want to visit Putian Shaolin Temple after returning from Emei. However, I am busy with trivial matters in Huashan, and many matters need to be handled by me. It's okay for you to go in my place. I will write a letter to Putian Shaolin Temple to express my intention to visit."

Communications between large forces like this need to be announced in advance, otherwise it will be seen as disrespectful and impolite, especially between a large force like the Shaolin Temple.

Moreover, Huashan Sect and Putian Shaolin Temple were good friends in the past, but after the split between Yue and Cai, the relationship between the two sides became strained, and they have not had any contact for many years. Now if I suddenly want to pay them a visit, I am afraid that I will be rejected by the other party if I don't write a letter in advance.

Yue Buqun's move was also intended to confuse the other party.

After all, the Huashan Sect had no dealings with the Putian Shaolin Temple for decades. If they suddenly went to visit now, it would inevitably be noticed by the other party that something was wrong.

Yue Buqun had already thought of the reason for the visit. He said that there had always been a friendship between the Huashan Sect and Southern Shaolin, but later Huashan declined and they had little contact. Now Yue Buqun specially sent someone to visit, one to re-establish contact between the two sides, and the other to discuss martial arts.

"Yes, Master."

Jiang Ning nodded.

"Going to Fujian?"

Linghu Chong seemed to be thinking about what he heard and looked up at Yue Buqun.

"Master, I remember that Junior Brother Lin's hometown is in Fujian, so should we ask Junior Brother Lin to come with us when we go down the mountain this time?"

Yue Buqun shook his head.

"No need, just you and Ning'er will be fine."

Linghu Chong nodded and said nothing more.

Yue Buqun looked towards Jiang Ning.

"Safe travels."

Although Putian Shaolin Temple is not the Songshan Shaolin Temple and is not well-known in the world, it cannot be ignored.

Southern Fist and Northern Leg, Northern Shaolin is now the leader of the righteous ways, while Southern Shaolin is also well-known. It’s just that Southern Shaolin is very low-key and rarely appears in public. But that doesn’t mean it is weak. The fact that it was able to produce such powerful figures as Master Hongye and Lin Yuantu has already demonstrated the strength of Southern Shaolin.

In fact, Yue Buqun was planning to go by himself, but he is really busy now. He had already decentralized the Zixia Divine Art some time ago. Now many disciples’ internal strength has reached the requirements for practicing the Zixia Divine Art. He has to watch over them on Mount Huashan to prevent these disciples from practicing improperly and going astray.

After all, he was the only one in Huashan Sect who had mastered the Zixia magic skill, and there was no one else who could teach it.

"Master, rest assured. I will be more careful."

Jiang Ning understood what Yue Buqun meant and nodded.

Yue Buqun glanced at Linghu Chong and gave Jiang Ning instructions.

"Your senior brother loves to drink. This time he will be drunk without the supervision of the master. You must supervise him and control his drinking. Don't allow him to drink until he is unconscious."

Yue Buqun had given up hope of getting Linghu Chong to quit drinking, so he tried his best to control him. Now that he couldn't control him after he went down the mountain, he asked Jiang Ning to do it.

Linghu Chong, who was eating mouthfuls of food at the moment, made the promise after hearing this.

"Master, rest assured, I will never drink alcohol when I leave the mountain!"

Yue Buqun simply ignored him and said to Jiang Ning.

"If he dares to get drunk, don't be lenient and teach him a lesson for me."

After hearing this, Linghu Chong felt that the food no longer tasted good.

Have the master and disciple doubted each other to this extent?

No trust at all?

Ning Zhongze and Yue Lingshan, who were eating at the side, didn't speak the whole time.

The meal was eaten very slowly. After the meal, Yue Buqun talked to Jiang Ning about some things, basically reminding him not to be reckless after going down the mountain, and to be careful, careful and cautious, all the same old stuff.

After Jiang Ning came back from Yousuobuweixuan, he read for a while and then turned off the lights and went to bed.

The next day Jiang Ning got up early and packed his things.

Jiang Ning pushed open the door and saw Maodou still sleeping, so he went up to wake him up.

"I'm going out, so I won't take you with me. You better take care of the house."

Maodou looked like he was still sleepy. He snorted a few words when he heard Jiang Ning's voice, and it was unclear whether he heard it or not.

Jiang Ning let it continue to sleep, walked out of the yard, closed the door, and headed towards Yue Buqun's residence.

Before going down the mountain, you must first pay farewell to the master.

When Jiang Ning arrived at Yue Buqun's residence, he found that Yue Buqun had already gotten up and was standing outside Yousuobuweixuan, with Linghu Chong and Yue Lingshan standing next to him, and someone kneeling in front of him.

"Master, I heard that Senior Brother Jiang Ning and Senior Brother are going to Fujian to visit Putian Shaolin Temple."

Lin Pingzhi said: "Can you please let me go with you brothers? My hometown is in Fujian, and I want to go back to Fuzhou to burn incense for my parents and worship my ancestors."

Everyone in Huashan already knew that Jiang Ning and Linghu Chong were going to Fujian. After knowing this, Lin Pingzhi asked to see Yue Buqun early in the morning and wanted to go with them.

"This……"

Yue Buqun remained silent for a moment before nodding.

"Well, since you have a filial heart, I, as your teacher, cannot help but ask you to fulfill your filial duty. In that case, you can go with me."

Lin Pingzhi was overjoyed and kowtowed repeatedly.

"Thank you, Master."

Yue Lingshan's eyes widened when she saw it, and she quickly said, "Dad, your daughter wants to go too."

Yue Buqun didn't even look at her. When he saw Jiang Ning coming, he told her that Lin Pingzhi would also go with them.

"You three brothers, be careful on your journey."

Yue Buqun warned.

Jiang Ning nodded.

"Yes, Master."

Lin Pingzhi had already gone back to pack his things, and Jiang Ning and Linghu Chong were waiting at Yousuobuweixuan.
