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

Page 16

Yue Buqun was relieved and said, “Ning’er is steady.”

Mount Hua is full of disciples of the Huashan Sect. Even if Linghu Chong had told Lu Dayou, Gao Genming and others about this before, Yue Buqun would not have thought there was a problem, but he was afraid that Lao Denuo would know about it in advance.

Yue Buqun warned Jiang Ning, Linghu Chong, and Yue Lingshan, “Besides yourselves, don’t tell anyone about what happened today. Don’t let others know. Even if someone asks about it, you must keep it secret. Do you understand?”

“Yes.”

“Don’t worry, Dad.”

Linghu Chong and Yue Lingshan nodded, they knew the seriousness of the matter.

It was even more impossible for Jiang Ning to tell others.

Chapter 23: The Heart of Jade Maiden Peak

After learning that the lost sword techniques of Huashan were hidden on the Cliff of Regret and the location of the entrance to the stone cave, Yue Buqun could not wait any longer. He used all his martial arts to rush to the top of the Jade Maiden Peak at an extremely fast speed, leaving Yue Lingshan, Jiang Ning and others far behind.

“Chong’er, Ning’er, how did you find out there was a cave in the Siguo Cliff?”

On the way, Ning Zhongze asked.

“Yes, Senior Brother, how did you know?”

Yue Lingshan also spoke.

Linghu Chong immediately became proud: “Master’s Wife, Junior Sisters, you may not know that there is a place on the cliff of repentance that makes a crisp sound when knocked, while other places make a dull sound when knocked. I knew something was wrong there, so I smashed the wall with a stone and found the cave.”

Yue Lingshan blinked.

“Then you’ve been to the Cliff of Repentance so many times before, how come you didn’t discover it before?”

Linghu Chong’s smug expression froze, and he said awkwardly, “Because it was my junior brother who discovered it first.”

Yue Lingshan immediately laughed and said, “I was saying that, Senior Brother went to the Cliff of Repentance so many times and didn’t find it, but how come you found it when you went with Junior Brother? If it weren’t for Junior Brother, you probably wouldn’t have found it even if you went to the Cliff of Repentance a hundred times.”

Linghu Chong looked embarrassed.

Ning Zhongze looked at Jiang Ning who was keeping quiet and asked, “Ning’er, how did you find out?”

Jiang Ning replied, “I saw words carved on the central stone wall by Feng Qingyang, a senior of the Sword Sect, using a weapon. Out of curiosity, I tried the stone wall and found something wrong. Then, Senior Brother smashed the stone wall and we found it.”

Linghu Chong’s eyebrows danced with joy again when he heard this.

When Jiang Ning came to Siguo Cliff again, the huge rock he used to block the cave entrance had been scattered aside, revealing a deep entrance.

“Come on, let’s go in.”

Ning Zhongze said, and then entered first.

“Master’s Wife, Junior Sister, it’s very dark in there, please be careful.”

Linghu Chong shouted from behind.

Several people walked in the narrow passage, Ning Zhongze walked in front, Yue Lingshan followed behind, Linghu Chong followed behind Yue Lingshan, and finally Jiang Ning.

Before walking out of the passage and entering the mountain, Jiang Ning heard loud laughter coming from inside.

“Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!”

“Heaven will not destroy me, Yue Buqun. Heaven will not destroy my Huashan Sect!”

“With these sword techniques, my Huashan Sect can finally rise, hahahaha!!!”

Unlike the darkness when they entered here before, there were torches hanging on the stone walls, and the fire illuminated the cave.

At this time, Yue Buqun was standing in front of one of the stone walls, with his arms open above his head, looking up and laughing heartily.

“Master, what’s wrong? With these lost sword techniques of our Huashan Sect, we are sure to rise. But even without these sword techniques, how could our Huashan Sect, as one of the Five Mountains Sword Sects, perish?”

Linghu Chong was puzzled.

Jiang Ning glanced at him and said nothing.

Of course he doesn’t know.

Before this, he had always lived in the comfort zone given to him by Yue Buqun, and all the responsibilities were borne by Yue Buqun. How could he know?

Jiang Ning had never seen Yue Buqun like this.

In Jiang Ning’s impression, Yue Buqun always looked like a modest gentleman, spoke in an elegant and appropriate manner, and communicated with others in a gentle and carefree manner. He never lost control of his emotions, let alone laughed wildly like he did now.

All of Yue Buqun’s emotions over the years were expressed at this moment.

Even after Jiang Ning, Ning Zhongze and others came in, Yue Buqun did not calm down.

Among these people now, one is his wife, one is his biological daughter, and the other two are his outstanding disciples. They are as close as father and son, especially Linghu Chong. If nothing unexpected happens, his daughter Yue Lingshan will marry Linghu Chong in the future. At that time, Linghu Chong will be both his son-in-law and his son.

In front of these family members, or people as close as family, Yue Buqun did not hide his inner excitement.

“Let’s not go over there yet. Let your master vent for a while.”

Ning Zhongze stopped Linghu Chong and Yue Lingshan who wanted to go over, but Jiang Ning had no intention of going over in the first place.

Looking at Yue Buqun who had lost his composure at this moment, Ning Zhongze felt an indescribable discomfort in his heart.

After venting his emotions, Yue Buqun calmed down. He turned to look at Jiang Ning and the others and called out.

“Come here, all of you.”

Jiang Ning walked over.

Yue Buqun looked at Jiang Ning and Linghu Chong with a gratified expression on his face.

“Ning’er, Chong’er, you have done a great deed this time. The sword techniques engraved on this stone wall are all the lost sword techniques of our Huashan Sect. These sword techniques are extremely exquisite. It is precisely because of the loss of these sword techniques that our Huashan Sect has fallen into decline. Now that our Huashan Sect has recovered these sword techniques, the revival of Huashan Sect is just around the corner!”

Linghu Chong, who was rarely praised by Yue Buqun, couldn’t help but scratch his head and smile foolishly.

To him, Yue Buqun was like a strict father who had very high demands on him. No matter how hard he tried before, it was difficult for him to get praise from Yue Buqun. His lazy character was not only due to his own laxity, but also one of the reasons why he started to give up because he did not get praise from Yue Buqun.

Jiang Ning looked calm.

After a while of giggling, Linghu Chong seemed to remember something and said to Yue Buqun, “Oh, Master, besides the sword techniques of my Five Mountains Sword School, there are also some patterns on this stone wall. Those were left by the dead bones on the ground, especially the one called Zhang Chengfeng, who said he could break my Huashan sword techniques.”

“Humph! My Huashan swordsmanship is profound and extensive. How can a nobody like him break it just by saying it?”

As Linghu Chong spoke, an angry expression appeared on his face again. If Yue Buqun and Ning Zhongze were not here, he would have wanted to kick that dried skeleton again.

“Ok?”

After hearing Linghu Chong’s words, Yue Buqun noticed the villain patterns and the words insulting the Five Mountains Sword Sects carved on the stone wall.

Before, his attention was all on Huashan swordsmanship, and he ignored these things.

However, after reading it, he did not think about it carefully. He just took a glance and then put it away. His reaction was similar to Linghu Chong’s.

Yue Buqun chuckled and said, “These thieves must be the enemies of my Five Mountains Sword Sect. They are trapped here and cannot escape, so they are just slandering and insulting my Five Mountains Sword Sect. Don’t worry about them.”

“I’ll just say it.”

Linghu Chong nodded like a chicken pecking at rice.

Jiang Ning’s eyes moved after listening to this, but he still did not speak to break Yue Buqun’s interest at the moment.

Anyway, these sword techniques and ways to break the moves are all engraved here, and when Yue Buqun looks at them later, he will find that these moves are real.

“Ning’er.”

Yue Buqun looked towards Jiang Ning.

“You and Chong’er have helped our sect recover the lost Huashan swordsmanship, which is a great contribution. I intend to teach you all the Huashan swordsmanship on this stone wall. You can postpone your training time. It won’t be too late to train after you have learned the swordsmanship.”

Chapter 24: Night Talk

Chapter 24: Night Talk

If you want to learn swordsmanship, you can’t just practice by giving you the moves.

You also need the guidance of a famous teacher.

There were some sword techniques on these stone walls that even Yue Buqun had not learned, and those that he had already learned were not as exquisite as those on the stone walls. Even Yue Buqun himself had to practice them all over again, let alone Jiang Ning.

Yue Buqun is stronger than Jiang Ning, his realm is higher than Jiang Ning, his talent is not low, and he has practiced longer than Jiang Ning. He will definitely master it faster than Jiang Ning. It will not be too late to teach Jiang Ning after he has learned the sword technique above.

Yue Buqun had no intention of hiding his knowledge or preventing Jiang Ning from learning.

This cave was discovered by Jiang Ning. These sword techniques are the heritage of Huashan Sect. If it were not for Jiang Ning, Yue Buqun might never have seen these lost Huashan sword techniques, and the Huashan Sect would never have the chance to obtain them again in the future, just like those magical skills and secret manuals in the past, disappearing from the sight of the world and lying quietly somewhere.

So Yue Buqun would not be stingy with Jiang Ning.

As for not allowing Jiang Ning to learn the sword techniques on the stone wall, that was even more impossible. Jiang Ning entered the cave before him and had already seen these exquisite sword techniques. Even if Yue Buqun did not allow Jiang Ning to practice at that time, Jiang Ning might practice secretly. Not to mention whether Jiang Ning would have problems practicing on his own, he, Yue Buqun, would become an enemy of Jiang Ning.

Instead of doing this, it would be better for the master and disciples to work together to strengthen the Huashan Sect.

Jiang Ning thought for a while and shook his head: “Master, I still want to go down the mountain to gain experience first. It won’t be too late to practice swordsmanship after breaking through the bottleneck.”

“My Huashan Sect emphasizes Qi rather than swords. Although these sword techniques are very exquisite, they can only serve as an aid to my practice.”

It would take some time to master so many sword techniques. In order to save time, Jiang Ning planned to practice on the way.

Yue Buqun smiled upon hearing this and nodded with satisfaction: “I am very pleased that you have such thoughts.”

Faced with the temptation of many exquisite sword techniques, he was able to maintain his original intention and remain firm in his beliefs.

Very good, very good.

Yue Buqun became more and more satisfied with Jiang Ning.

“In that case, I support your decision. You will go down the mountain to train alone tomorrow. Come to the back hall in the evening. I have something to say to you.”

Back hall?

That is the place to worship the ancestors of Huashan.

Jiang Ning was a little surprised, but still nodded.

“Yes.”

Yue Buqun nodded and said to Ning Zhongze and others, “Let’s go back.”

“Yes.”

Jiang Ning nodded.

After leaving the cave, Yue Buqun personally found a huge rock from Yunu Peak to block the entrance of the cave, which was bigger than the previous one.
