Chapter 368 Pei Laodao
White House.

“How is Situ’s swordsmanship now?”

Yue Xiaobai went to see Bai Yuan as soon as he heard that Bai Yuan and Situ Nan had fought.

Bai Yuan: “He struck with a sword, I kicked him, and then he was gone.”

Yue Xiaobai became more interested.

“Come on, take my sword too, just use the same kick you used back then.”

Both Situ Nan and he were kendo masters, and Situ Nan’s was a Confucian kendo path that was completely different from his. A year ago, he even went to challenge Situ Nan, but was rejected by Situ Nan.

Now, fighting with Bai Yuan is equivalent to fighting with Situ Nan.

This is a rare opportunity to test the sword. I will definitely gain some insights and my sword skills may be improved.

When it comes to martial arts training, it’s not a good idea to work in isolation. Only by learning from other situations can you improve faster.

Bai Yuan was happy to oblige. He also wanted to try out how powerful the White Ape was with the power of dragon and tiger.

Yue Xiaobai drew out his bamboo sword.

Situ Nan had stabbed straight ahead at that time, so he chose to stab straight ahead this time as well.

The powerful sword stabbed straight at Bai Yuan.

Bai Yuan twisted his right ankle, it was a familiar kick.

After one move, Yue Xiaobai stood there with sword in hand, looking thoughtful.

“You have been hiding your true strength before?”

He had already experienced the power of Bai Yuan’s horizontal training before, and now less than a month has passed. Horizontal training is actually ink and wash kung fu, so he just thought that Bai Yuan was hiding his strength.

As early as in Lingzhou, he had already experienced Bai Yuan’s leg skills.

But today, the same leg technique has become even more terrifying with the help of horizontal training.

It is a good idea to combine the two techniques.

It’s just too risky.

Martial arts have been around for thousands of years, and naturally there have been imaginative predecessors who have tried this path. However, they later discovered that practicing two techniques at the same time was difficult, and there was also the risk of the two techniques not being compatible. It was more cost-effective to specialize in one, so gradually no one made such an attempt anymore.

Bai Yuan is an outlier, and he is successful.

When the two skills are combined, their power is naturally far greater than ordinary martial arts.

Bai Yuan: “Not long ago, I tried to combine leg techniques and horizontal training together, and it happened to be successful.”

He had no intention of revealing the secret of Shenfu Gong.

Yue Xiaobai showed an expression of as expected.

“How do I compare to Situ Nan?”

Bai Yuan thought carefully about Yue Xiaobai’s sword strike, and then about Situ Nan’s sword strike. He said seriously, “Your swordsmanship is faster than his, but not as straight as his.”

Yue Xiaobai frowned: “Straight?”

“Situ Nan’s sword is purer and his moves are simpler.”

Yue Xiaobai fell into deep thought.

After a long time, a light appeared in his eyes.

Bai Yuan was a little surprised.

What a terrible understanding.

He just spoke a few abstract words about his understanding of Situ Nan’s swordsmanship, but he didn’t expect that Yue Xiaobai actually understood it.

Yue Xiaobai was already impatient to go into seclusion, so he turned around and went back to his room.

A few more days passed.

A guest came to Bai Mansion.

Minister of Rites, Fang Hua.

Ever since Bai Yuan helped the Ministry of Rites a lot, the Ministry of Rites became the second government office among the six ministries that treated Bai Yuan well.

Bai Yuan already had a good relationship with the Fang family. With this relationship, he and Fang Hua were naturally fellow travelers in the officialdom.

After Fang Hua sat down, he took a sip of tea.

“Sir Bai, the Ministry of Justice recently interrogated the six-tailed fox and got some important information. Perhaps you should know.” Bai Yuan was slightly surprised.

Ever since the six-tailed fox was sent to the Demon Prison, he rarely asked about the matter again.

Fang Hua: “A master from the Ministry of Justice spied on a trace of the memory of the six-tailed fox. The fox knows how to steal the country’s fortune and hide its aura. It is related to a strong man from the Demon Sect. Everyone calls him Mr. Yuan.”

Hearing the words “Mr. Yuan”, Bai Yuan’s pupils involuntarily shrank a little.

He had felt that the six-tailed fox’s behavior was somewhat familiar.

I didn’t expect that it was really related to the mysterious Mr. Yuan.

Fang Hua: “Mr. Yuan is a very capable person. You have been to Lingzhou before, and perhaps you have dealt with him before.”

Bai Yuan shook his head: “I’ve only heard of his name, but never seen him.”

Fang Hua’s face was solemn: “Minister Zhou suspected that Mr. Yuan might sneak into Xuanyang and take the opportunity to cause chaos. You have ruined his plan this time, so Minister Zhou ordered me to remind you to be more careful.”

“Thank you.”

Bai Yuan clasped his fists.

The news that Fang Hua brought was indeed very important to him.

It’s not that he is worried that Mr. Yuan will take revenge on him because of the six-tailed fox incident, but that Mr. Yuan may still think that he is a demon.

He probably won’t take action, but if the imperial court knew that he might be a demon, that would be a lot of trouble.

But Mr. Yuan doesn’t seem like a stupid person and he shouldn’t do that.

Send Fang Hua away.

Bai Yuan sat in the lobby, lost in thought.

At this time, Xiao Qiaoniang walked in and gently massaged Bai Yuan’s shoulders.

Smelling the refreshing fragrance, Bai Yuan felt much more relaxed.

“Qiaojie, did my parents ever tell me if there was any strange phenomenon in the sky when I was born?”

He remembered that his parents were very nice to Qiaojie when they were still alive, and he would tell her some things that he would not tell him.

Could it be that the previous incarnation was really a demon?
In this way, his treatment as a time traveler is really the best.

Qiaojie burst out laughing: “Mom once said that on the day you were born, a big rooster stood at the door of the house and crowed for a long time, and we couldn’t drive it away.”

Bai Yuan touched his chin seriously.

It seems that when I have the chance to go to the Dragon and Tiger Sect, I must ask Taoist Pei for help to see if there will be a strange phenomenon like the crowing of a rooster when the demon seed is born.

He had heard before that when Emperor Taizu was born, a giant red-gold snake appeared nearby, and was considered by later sorcerers to be a symbol of a true dragon’s fate.

Although Bai Yuan was more inclined to believe that it was probably a fabricated story, or that a mountain villager just happened to encounter a unique species of snake.

If you have ever been to the countryside, you will know that such rumors appear almost every day.

If there were cameras in this era, there would probably be fewer rumors.

Bai Yuan stopped having wild thoughts.

It doesn’t matter whether he is a demon or not, because as long as he is strong enough, a demon can also become a holy child, and the world will always be tolerant to the strong.

This day.

Bai Yuan was sparring with Yue Xiaobai in the courtyard.

This has almost become a daily routine for the two of them.

He had to admit that Yue Xiaobai’s talent in swordsmanship was too terrifying. After only three days, he had grasped a bit of Situ Nan’s charm.

This is just after listening to Bai Yuan’s few words. If I could fight with Situ Nan in person, I might be able to learn some of his true skills.

Perhaps Situ Nan should be thankful that he did not have to fight with Yue Xiaobai, the sword-fighting madman.

Just when the two had exchanged thirty moves, they both suddenly stopped.

Yue Xiaobai looked towards the door with fear on his face.

On the other hand, Bai Yuan showed a look of joy.

There was a figure outside the gate of Bai Mansion. It was an old Taoist priest wearing a tattered Taoist robe.

It was the Purple Gold Grand Master of Longhu Sect, Master Pei, who had disappeared for a long time!
