Chapter 33 The Demonic Sect Makes a Move, Legendary Undercover Agent Hua Baifeng!
"King Zhu must be very sad, right?"
Xu Qingya couldn't help but complain, "I thought I was Mr. Zhuge's target, but I never expected that in Mr. Zhuge's eyes, I wasn't even worth a bite!"
Liu Qingci scoffed, "That's called a spineless coward! If Mr. Zhuge ignores him, he'll just live his life! Doesn't he like to play dumb to fool others? Keep playing dumb!"
Yin Susu added insult to injury: "When someone schemes against you, you resent them; when they don't scheme against you, you resent them even more. That's truly despicable!"
Qin Nanqin said cautiously, "King Zhu didn't say anything! He didn't even show up! Isn't it a bit inappropriate for us to make up stories about him like this?"
Liu Qingci scoffed, "Coward! A treasure trove of unimaginable wealth is right before your eyes, yet you dare not take the risk. I'd love to try his 'Young Martial Arts Manual'!"
What is the "Shaowu Zhenjing"?
Yin Susu thought to herself, "This name is really imposing. Could it be that King Zhu has the ability to cultivate both Buddhism and Taoism?"
Qin Nanqin skillfully explained: "This matter dates back to fifteen years ago, when more than three hundred heroes besieged Yan Kuangtu in Wuyi Mountain. After the fierce battle, Yan Kuangtu was seriously injured and fled, leaving behind some secret martial arts manuals."
Yan Kuangtu was exceptionally talented and extremely arrogant. He attempted to merge Shaolin and Wudang, combining their unique skills to create a peerless martial art that would reach the pinnacle of perfection.
Yan Kuangtu first fought with Wudang disciples and took the opportunity to learn Wudang's unique skills. He then bought more than a dozen volumes of Shaolin's unique skills at a high price on the black market and secluded himself to study these skills. Although he did not create any profound skills, he did have a volume of practice notes.
After obtaining this notebook, Zhu Datianwang deduced from Yan Kuangtu's line of thought that he could integrate Wudang's ultimate skills into a single palm strike and Shaolin's ultimate techniques into a single fist strike. With each punch and palm strike, he could defeat his enemies and was invincible.
Since this unique skill was derived from the unique techniques of Wudang and Shaolin, one character from each was taken to name the skill "Shaowu Zhenjing". It is said that when Zhu Datianwang made his move, black mist filled the air and his fists and palms tore the sky and split the earth.
This is a deadly, one-hit kill technique.
No one can describe the specific details in detail; there are only rumors, hearsay, possibilities, and perhapss, because everyone who has seen him make a move has been killed by him with a single palm strike.
My young lady once commented that the number one assassin in the world is not Meng Xinghun, Liu Fenyu, or Yidianhong, but Zhu Datianwang and the Red Sun Dharma King of the Red Sect of Esoteric Buddhism.
Of course, if someone obtains the complete inheritance of the "Evil King" Shi Zhixuan, they might be able to rival him.
Legend has it that after being defeated by the Four Great Monks, the Evil King fled overseas and built his tomb on a fairy island.
Another rumor is that when the ancestors of the Western Regions Sea Shark Palace were training overseas, they accidentally entered the Evil King's Tomb and obtained the Illusionary Demon Body Technique, creating the "Shadow Clone".
As for the Undying Seal Technique and the Seven Illusions of Undying, they should still be in the Evil King's Tomb. When Miss Yin goes out to sea to do business, she might be able to look for them, which could be considered a fortuitous encounter.
I heard from Miss that the great demon Qiao Beiming once went to sea to search for the Evil King's legacy. Although he did not find the Evil King's tomb, he accidentally found the tomb of a White Sect lama and obtained the peerless demonic skill "Shura Yin Sha Gong" from it.
There are numerous islands overseas, offering countless opportunities; if you have the chance to go out to sea by boat, you absolutely shouldn't miss it.
Liu Qingci asked, "Yin Susu, is it fun to go out to sea by boat? Are there really so many fairy islands?"
Yin Susu sneered: "Fun my ass! The endless desolation, the overwhelming tsunami, the destructive hurricane, the surging waves stretching for thousands of miles, any small accident can cause a ship to be destroyed and people to die."
Without a nautical chart and an experienced sailor, searching for an island at sea is like searching for sand in the desert. Can you pinpoint a single grain of sand in a vast desert? If you want to go treasure hunting at sea, first find an accurate nautical chart!
My dad once tried to find "Xia Ke Island," but was scolded by several old sailors and became depressed for three months. Don't believe those boring treasure hunt stories; who has that kind of luck?
Liu Qingci looked to Xu Qingya for help.
Xu Qingya raised his head and rubbed the back of his head.
Xu Qingya believed in a most basic principle.
Leave professional matters to professionals.
In the field of navigation, Yin Susu is an expert, and her words are far more credible than those of others.
—At least, Yin Susu won't lie to me!
The group chatted idly, laughing and joking. Yin Susu recounted her experiences overseas, Qin Nanqin told stories of the martial arts world, and Xu Qingya described the magnificent snow-covered landscape of Liaodong...
Zhuge Zhengwo directed his soldiers to move the jewels.
It's still the same old routine.
Transport, boil, detoxify, and store.
The soldiers were working up a great deal of energy.
Xu Qingya's story is equally popular.
"There is a magical village on the banks of the Songhua River called Lahasu, or 'Laowu' in Chinese."
The weather here is cold, and the river freezes over around the Double Ninth Festival every year, remaining frozen until the Qingming Festival of the following year, a freeze that lasts for more than seven months.
Relying on mountains to eat mountains, relying on water to draft water.
Fishing is prohibited after the river is frozen, but for the residents of the old house, it marks the beginning of a happy life.
A few days before the river was sealed off, they threw the prepared wooden frame into the river and tied it securely with ropes.
Just as ancient migrants carved out their own boundaries in the wilderness, after the river was frozen over, this section of the river became a long and wide crystal road.
At this time, the wooden frames floating on the river froze and took root. Then, beams and rafters were added, bricks and tiles were laid, and walls were built with sand and water. Overnight, they froze as hard as stone, forming shops on the ice.
Houses of all sizes and styles were built on the river. In just three to five days, the place would become a bustling town, where even large carriages pulled by eight horses could travel.
Outside the house, water freezes instantly, but inside it's warm as spring. Countless merchants flock here to trade porcelain, ironware, salt, and silk in the old house, engaging in the most vibrant trade exchanges during the coldest winter.
When spring arrives and the ice melts, the residents of the old houses have long since moved back to their original land villages, and the abandoned wooden frames float downstream with the ice.
This dreamlike crystal palace vanished overnight, like a mirage.
It's amazing, right?
The freezing winter, with its snow-covered landscape and frozen landscape, is the most vibrant time of year, while the sun-drenched and wildflower-filled spring and summer seem lonely and desolate...
This is the masterpiece of nature, and also the experience accumulated by mankind in the struggle between heaven and earth.
My senior uncle took me to the old house a few times.
The old house's pork stew, sauerkraut stewed with blood sausage, iron pot stewed goose, sauerkraut boiled pork belly, and braised pork ribs are all the most authentic. A hot pot, two ounces of baijiu, and a heated kang (traditional heated brick bed)—even the gods couldn't be more comfortable!
Just thinking about it makes my mouth water...
Liu Qingci glared fiercely at Xu Qingya, complaining resentfully, "You bad person! You always try to tempt me with delicious food and fun things! You make it sound so appealing, but I can't eat anything! How are you going to make it up to me?"
Xu Qingya laughed, "You definitely can't find villages and towns on ice like this in the Central Plains. I can cook all the dishes I just mentioned. Once we get back to the capital, we'll gather the ingredients from the imperial kitchen, and I'll cook them for you a few times!"
Just as everyone was talking, Tang Dun'er flew over with a belt in her hand. It was Shi Wanzhen's belt, a unique weapon that he had painstakingly crafted at great expense.
This belt has thirty or forty small compartments, each containing different medicinal powders. Shi Wanzhen's fingernails are very long, and with a quick grab and flick of his finger at his waist, he can silently administer poison, killing people without them even realizing it.
Unfortunately, he met Liu Qingci.
Before Shi Wanzhen could make a move, Liu Qingci blew his head off with an arrow. Xu Qingya accepted the exquisitely crafted belt with a smile. Tangdun'er screamed twice, and Xu Qingya understood, opening the innermost hidden compartment.
Inside was a small snake gall.
Who was Shi Wanzhen?
The snake gallbladder that Shi Wanzhen carefully collected must be a rare and precious medicine. For Tang Dun'er, this thing is not a state banquet item, but at least a "state banquet snack".
However, the snake gall was locked in a hidden compartment, surrounded by a layer of medicinal jade, so Tangdun'er couldn't get it. In a fit of anger, she grabbed her belt and asked Xu Qingya for help.
Xu Qingya laughed and said, "This stuff is great! If you fill it with seasonings, you can cook game or make a hot noodle soup when camping in the wild."
As he spoke, Xu Qingya tried to fasten his belt.
Then I realized... it was too small!
Shi Wanzhen was a skinny, wiry monkey. To make it easier to administer poison, his belt was tied very tightly. Xu Qingya was not a burly man, but to tie this short belt meant for a monkey, he had to use his bone-shrinking technique.
Xu Qingya handed the belt to Yin Susu.
"Susu, I remember you use hidden weapons. See if you can put them in your belt."
"Of course not, these compartments are too small, they can only store medicine powder or silver needles. However, this casting process reminded me that I should have one custom-made. It's much more convenient to draw a hidden weapon from my waist than a leopard pouch."
"Oh, what a pity!"
Xu Qingya got up and went to find Zhuge Zhengwo, asking him to remove the poison from the belt. The poison powder was quite precious and might have a useful purpose if left behind.
It should be emphasized here that Mr. Zhuge's medical skills were excellent, especially in treating difficult and complicated diseases, and he was also very good at treating external injuries, setting bones, and detoxifying.
—This is all experience gained from the Four Great Constables! Leng Xue contributed half of the experience points!
Zhuge Zhengwo found several porcelain bottles and collected the poison powder by category. Then he threw the belt into an iron pot, boiled it in boiling water, and tested its toxicity with silver needles until the belt was completely clean.
The task of excavating and transporting the treasure is not necessary for Xu Qingya and others; Zhuge Zhengwo alone is sufficient.
I will absolutely not participate in the chaos in the martial arts world of Jingxiang, nor in the mutual probing between Wudang and Nujiao Gang.
Let Zhuge Zhengwo do it all!
Zhuge Zhengwo loves working overtime the most!
When you're exhausted from working overtime, you can use your self-created technique "Half-Section Brocade" to recharge and recover. To create such a technique for working overtime is truly a testament to your dedication!
Zhuge Zhengwo: Beep beep beep beep beep...
With the battle for the Liancheng Treasure over, all the underworld bosses breathed a sigh of relief. Now that the imperial court has money, it shouldn't be in a hurry to take action against the underworld, right?
Especially for gangs like the Money Gang, the Green Robe Pavilion, and the Power Gang, whose leaders were clearly very wealthy, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. As for the Blackwater Gang, they had been playing the fool for so many years and were just hoping that no one would pay attention to them.
However, after a series of fierce battles, Xu Qingya's reputation grew louder and louder, and countless people paid attention to him. Even Yu Luosha, the leader of the Demonic Sect, who was at the pinnacle of the martial arts world, couldn't help but make a move and sent his trusted subordinates.
"Bai Feng, it's time for you to debut!"
"Master, what is my mission?"
"Find a way to get close to Xu Qingya, infiltrate his inner circle, observe his personality and martial arts skills, and persuade him to write down his insights into the Spring and Autumn Saber Technique!"
"Master, what's so surprising about the mere Spring and Autumn Saber Technique? Countless people have practiced it throughout history, but who could comprehend the 'Alluring Beauty' that only exists in martial arts tales? It's all nonsense!"
"Bai Feng, remember this: if there's anyone in the martial world who can comprehend 'Alluring Beauty,' that person is Xu Qingya. Xu Qingya is extremely important!"
How important is he?
"A single, devastating strike shatters the void!"
"I want to see Xu Qingya's case file!"
"I've already prepared everything for you!"
Yu Luosha tossed a stack of documents over: "Leave tomorrow morning! Don't let anyone beat you to it!"
