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

Page 45

These guys are just evil spirits in human skin. They have no bottom line and are inhumanly greedy. They are forcing the people to death. Jiang Ning wants to stop the evil by killing.

Jiang Ning turned his head and looked into the distance, his face calm: “They sell one tael and six cents per dan of rice, I tolerate it, two taels of silver per dan of rice, I tolerate it too, five taels of silver per dan of rice, I still tolerate it, but they sell eight taels and six cents per dan of rice, I can’t tolerate it.”

Jiang Ning spoke faster and faster, with a ferocious and angry look on his face. With every word he spoke, his ferocity and anger grew stronger, and his obsidian eyes were icy cold to the bone.

“Since they don’t want the people to live, then they shouldn’t live either.”

Jiang Ning turned around, his obsidian eyes looked at Yue Buqun very seriously, and said word by word:

“Whoever prevents the people from living, I will not let them live. Whoever wants to destroy the people’s families, I will destroy their families as well.”

Chapter 62: I Don’t Want to Kill Anyone

Chapter 62: I Don’t Want to Kill Anyone

“I don’t want to kill people, I want them to live, but they don’t want to because they don’t want to live.”

Jiang Ning didn’t just kill them blindly, and he also gave them chances.

When he massacred the first family, Jiang Ning left a message saying “Those who drive up prices will be killed”, but this did not serve as a warning to others. Prices in Taiyuan and Pingyang kept rising, and finally Jiang Ning massacred 18 families in succession. Some gangsters who could not stand the tragic situation in Taiyuan and Pingyang also attacked and frightened them into death, and they finally stopped.

Jiang Ning met many disciples from the Five Mountains Sword Sects in these places, including those from the Hengshan Sect, the Hengshan Sect and the Taishan Sect.

These disciples of the Five Mountains Sword Sect also took action after seeing the tragic situation in Shanxi, but they were not as ruthless as Jiang Ning.

When Jiang Ning met these people, he did not get to know them. Jiang Ning hid his name and identity when doing these things. He left after the prices in Taiyuan and Pingyang finally dropped.

“…”

Listening to Jiang Ning’s words, Yue Buqun hesitated to speak.

According to Yue Buqun’s character, if any Huashan disciple dared to argue with him like this, he would definitely be furious. If the person arguing with him was Linghu Chong, Yue Buqun would be even angrier and might even take action to give Linghu Chong a good beating.

But this person is Jiang Ning.

Jiang Ning is not like other disciples. He is the most outstanding and sensible among Yue Buqun. He also has extraordinary feelings. In his opinion, those people really deserved to die. The only difference between him and Jiang Ning is that Jiang Ning was too cruel. This does not mean that he sympathizes with those people, but that he is a little worried that Jiang Ning is so extreme. If he finds that the world is so dark without a trace of light in the future, he will despair and go astray.

Extreme justice will go in the completely opposite direction if it undergoes a major change.

Jiang Ning lowered his head and said, “My disciple is rude.”

Yue Buqun laughed, waved his hand and said, “It’s okay. Even father and son have disagreements. Besides, I think you did the right thing. I’m just worried about you.”

Afterwards, Yue Buqun skipped over the matter and did not mention it again. Instead, he said to Jiang Ning with a serious face: “Last time when you saw my Huashan Sect’s lost sword technique at the Cliff of Repentance, you also saw the patterns of breaking the moves left by those corpses, right?”

Jiang Ning nodded.

Yue Buqun frowned at this time and said, “Those broken moves are real. The swordsmanship of my Five Mountains Sword School was broken by the corpses trapped in the stone cave.”

Just as Jiang Ning predicted, Yue Buqun has discovered that those tricks are real.

“Those moves may not seem special at first glance, but after careful observation, I found that they can indeed break the swordsmanship of the Five Mountains Sword Sects. My Huashan Swordsmanship was completely broken by that man called Zhang Chengfeng.”

When he discovered this, Yue Buqun’s mood could no longer be described as shocked, it was completely horrified.

“Master has destroyed all the sword moves patterns on the wall of the stone cave in Siguo Cliff.”

Yue Buqun said softly at this time.

Jiang Ning looked at him in surprise when he heard that.

Yue Buqun looked into the distance with an inexplicable look in his eyes: “Those moves cannot be spread out.”

He knew that if those broken moves in the Cliff of Regret were discovered and taken out by others, it would be a heavy blow not only to the Huashan Sect, but also to the entire Five Mountains Sword Sect.

Jiang Ning naturally understood this, so he understood Yue Buqun’s motive. The stone cave was right in the heart of the Jade Maiden Peak, and it was unrealistic to have people guard it and prevent others from entering. The best way was what Yue Buqun did.

“But I have already engraved those sword techniques and counters. Only I, your mistress and you know about this. Chong’er doesn’t know either.”

Yue Buqun turned his head and looked at Jiang Ning: “Over the past few days, your master and your mistress have carefully studied the Huashan swordsmanship and Zhang Chengfeng’s countermeasures, and have improved and optimized our Huashan swordsmanship. Although we still cannot completely get rid of the restraint of those countermeasures, it is not so easy to be broken.”

Sword techniques are not static and are always improved by generations of people. In the words of the game, Yue Buqun’s approach is to update the new version and fix the patches. Although there are still some loopholes, they are more difficult to find than the previous version.

Moreover, the countermeasures to the Five Mountains Sword School’s moves written on the stone wall are only aimed at breaking down each move one by one. If it is not so rigid that one has to use the sword move one by one according to the instructions, the relationship of restraint is actually not that rigid.

“correct.”

Yue Buqun looked at Jiang Ning and asked, “Are you learning the sword technique on the stone wall now?”

Jiang Ning shook his head: “I only learned You Feng Lai Yi.”

After acquiring Xiantian Gong, he spent most of his time practicing the skill, and spent much less time on practicing swordsmanship. As quality is more important than quantity in learning, Jiang Ning devoted all his time except for practicing Xiantian Gong to practicing swordsmanship in You Feng Lai Yi. He has not learned other swordsmanship yet, but will sometimes study them.

“That’s good.”

Yue Buqun nodded and said, “I have discussed this with your mistress. We are going to teach you all the Huashan sword techniques. As for the sword techniques and counters of the other Five Mountains sword sects, you don’t have to learn them, but you have to know how to counter them.”

“Yes, thank you Master.”

Jiang Ning nodded.

Now that he is back at Mount Hua, he has more time left to practice his swordsmanship.

“I haven’t finished speaking yet.”

Yue Buqun then spoke again: “After you have completely learned the Huashan Sword Technique, I want you to forget them all.”

After he finished speaking, Yue Buqun looked at Jiang Ning and said with a smile: “Do you know why your master asked you to do this?”

Jiang Ning thought for a moment and said, “No move is better than a move?”

“good.”

Yue Buqun nodded with satisfaction. His disciple had a high level of comprehension.

“Through the Five Mountains Sword Techniques and the techniques that broke them in the Cliff of Regret, I have come to understand one thing even more clearly. That is, no matter how sophisticated a sword technique is, as long as it is a sword technique, there will be a day when it will be broken.”

“Exquisite swordsmanship may help us fight the enemy better, but it is only a means to help us fight the enemy. In the end, it is we ourselves who have to be stronger.”

“There is no strongest swordsmanship, only strong people. As long as we are strong enough, even just one move can have a huge impact.”

Chapter 63: What kind of person is Senior Brother Jiang Ning?

Chapter 63: What kind of person is Senior Brother Jiang Ning?

It seems that those broken moves really had a great impact on Yue Buqun.

But the path of martial arts is just as Yue Buqun said, no matter how exquisite the sword technique is, in the end they will all lead to the same destination.

“But even though I want you to forget the Huashan Sword Technique, I don’t want you to forget it immediately.”

At this time, Yue Buqun warned Jiang Ning: “You must first understand and possess before you can learn to let go. But you can only forget it after you have mastered all the skills. Otherwise, it will only harm you, not benefit you.”

Jiang Ning nodded: “Disciple will remember this.”

Yue Buqun nodded with satisfaction.

“Let’s go, it’s almost noon, let’s go eat. You’ve been traveling around the world, so I’m sure the food you eat is not satisfactory.”

Yue Buqun waved his sleeves and walked towards the cafeteria.

Jiang Ning smiled as he walked, “Disciple really misses the food that Master’s wife cooks.”

On the way to the cafeteria, Yue Buqun and Jiang Ning talked about the changes in the Huashan Sect.

Since they came back from Xiangyang last time, nearly a hundred Xiangyang people wanted to go back to Huashan with them. Most of them were the rescued brothel girls and their families, and the others were people like the maids of Iron Palm Sect.

These people built a village and settled down in the south of Mount Hua. Jiang Ning came from the north, so he did not see them.

“Lao Denuo has returned from Qingcheng Mountain. I heard from him that after Master Yu learned the cause of the incident, he repeatedly apologized to our Huashan Sect. I won’t mention these words. He did bring back an interesting piece of news.”

Yue Buqun said with a smile: “I heard him say that the disciples of Qingcheng Sect practice swordplay every night. It didn’t look like Qingcheng swordplay. After I asked him to practice a few moves, I recognized that it was Exorcist Swordplay.”

Evil-proofing swordsmanship?

There was a hint of surprise in Jiang Ning’s eyes.

He remembered this sword technique clearly, and Yue Buqun had an indissoluble bond with it in his later years.

Seeing Jiang Ning’s interest, Yue Buqun continued, “The Exorcism Sword Technique is the famous skill of Lin Yuantu from the Fujian Fuwei Escort Agency. In the past, Master Yu’s master Chang Qingzi lost a few moves to Lin Yuantu in a duel, and died of depression after returning. Now Yu Canghai is practicing the Exorcism Sword Technique with the disciples of Qingcheng Sect. Maybe he will go to Fujian to duel with Lin Yuantu’s descendants to avenge his father’s death.”

“It just so happens that the lost swordsmanship of my Huashan Sect has been recovered, and the Xiantian Gong has also been found. In order to prevent Lao Denuo from discovering anything unusual during this period of time, I will use this as an excuse to have Lao Denuo go to Fujian and get him out of the way.”

Yue Buqun stroked his beard and smiled faintly.

Jiang Ning’s expression changed when he heard this, and he asked, “When did Lao Denuo go to Fujian?”

“Late January, what’s going on?”

Yue Buqun said.

Jiang Ning shook his head: “After leaving Shanxi, I went to Qingcheng Mountain in Sichuan in February and found that there were only a few Taoist children guarding the Songfeng Temple. I didn’t find Yu Canghai and other Qingcheng disciples. I don’t know where they went. Now I think maybe they had already left for Fujian at that time.”

Yue Buqun was surprised and asked: “What are you doing in Qingcheng Mountain?”

Jiang Ning looked calm, and said, “Last time I heard from Senior Brother that Hou Renying and Hong Renxiong from the Qingcheng Sect wanted to molest Senior Sister. Although they were stopped by Senior Brother, I thought that since they wanted to be rude to Senior Sister, they didn’t succeed because of Senior Brother’s presence. But what if it was other ordinary people? Would they have been killed by them? So I thought about going to Qingcheng Mountain to take a look, but I didn’t see them when I went there, so I came back.”

Yue Buqun’s eyelids twitched when he heard this.

He was very familiar with Jiang Ning’s words. Usually, whenever Jiang Ning said this, it was the prelude to killing someone.

For some reason, Yue Buqun suddenly felt that Yu Canghai and the others had done the right thing.

Yue Buqun did not say much about this, but said: “When you return to Huashan this time, you must practice swordsmanship diligently. I will teach you all the Huashan swordsmanship within this month.”

Jiang Ning was a little surprised: “One month? Is this too urgent?”

Yue Buqun shook his head and said, “It’s not urgent, but I will be going to Hunan in a month. Time is really tight. Liu Zhengfeng of Hengshan Sect will hold a ceremony to wash his hands in the middle of June and invited my Huashan Sect. We are all of the same origin in the Five Mountains Sword Sects, so I will go to this ceremony to wash my hands in the same place.”

Liu Zhengfeng?

A ceremony to retire from the underworld?

Is the plot of The Smiling, Proud Wanderer about to officially begin?

Jiang Ning’s eyes narrowed, he thought for a moment, and said, “Master, I will go with you.”

“Are you going too?”

Yue Buqun was a little surprised.

“Ah.”

Jiang Ning nodded and said, “I have been practicing hard in Huashan before. After I came down the mountain, I mainly went to Shanxi. I haven’t met the seniors from the other Five Mountains Sword Sects yet. This is a good opportunity for me to meet them.”
