Chapter 293 Eastbound
However, he did not know that in terms of the complexity and sophistication of his moves, as well as the control over strength, Xin Zhen claimed to be the second best in the world, and no one dared to claim to be the best.

Xin Zhen is proficient in Nine Yin Scriptures, Dugu Nine Swords, Qiankun Da Neng Yi, Tai Chi, and Tai Chi Sword. He has seen sword techniques from all over the world and also created his own Essentials of Sword Mantra.

Even in Jin Yong's world, his skills can be ranked among the top ten. Why would he be afraid of Hong Qigong's Dog Beating Stick Technique, let alone the Dog Beating Stick that he controlled?

After dozens of moves, Hong Qigong returned empty-handed. Xin Zhen smiled, then let go of his hand, and the Dog Beating Stick returned to Hong Qigong's control.

Xin Zhen said: "Master Hong, do you need me to prove anything?"

Hong Qigong laughed and said, "Your martial arts skills are extremely high, but does that mean you have good character? Isn't Ouyang Feng, the Western Poison, also one of the Five Greatest Masters in the World, but that doesn't stop him from being completely bad."

Xin Zhen smiled and said, "I am Yang Guo, so why should I prove it to you? If you like to feel that way, then feel that way. If you don't like it, then just be uncomfortable. What can you do to me?"

Hong Qigong was suddenly choked. He just used the method of provoking Xin Zhen to stay and deal with the Five Ugly Men of Chuanbian together. It was not that he could not deal with the Five Ugly Men of Chuanbian, but he had developed a love for talent and wanted to see what kind of person Xin Zhen was. However, he did not expect that Xin Zhen would not be provoked by him at all.

When Hong Qigong's plan failed, he came up with another one. He smiled and bowed, saying, "It was the old beggar who was wrong. The old beggar apologizes to you."

This move was a retreat to advance. He apologized to the young man with his status. If it was another young man, he would be flattered and then turn the enemy into a friend. But Xin Zhen was such a person that he would not fall for this move. He smiled and said, "Okay, you admit your mistakes and correct them. I forgive you. That's it. Goodbye."

Xin Zhen turned around and went down the mountain, and Xiaolongnu followed behind him in fluttering white clothes. Hong Qigong looked at the two people who seemed like gods and was stunned for a long while.

Hong Qigong thought to himself that Yang Kang's son's martial arts skills had already reached the level of the Five Great Masters, and he didn't know whether it was a blessing or a curse. Although Yang Kang's tragic death was not caused by Rong'er, it was related to Rong'er. He didn't know whether Yang Guo knew about this. If he harbored hatred, Rong'er might be in danger.

Thinking of this, Hong Qigong decided to quickly find the Five Ugly Guys and beat them to death, and then rush to Peach Blossom Island to talk to Huang Rong. It would be best if he could find Huang Lao Xie and ask him to go back to Peach Blossom Island to prevent Yang Guo from going to Peach Blossom Island to take revenge on Rong'er.

Hong Qigong waited on the mountain for several days, but the Five Ugly Men of Chuanbian never showed up. Hong Qigong could not help but hesitate and went down the mountain.

However, when passing a mountain path, Hong Qigong let out an exclamation and dug through the snow, finding a person who had been frozen into a stiff corpse. Hong Qigong dug some more and found a total of five corpses. Who else could it be but the Five Ugly Men of Chuanbian?
Who killed them?
Hong Qigong carefully examined the bodies of the five ugly men and found no scars on the surface. Hong Qigong fumbled for a long time but could not find the cause of death. After thinking about it, he directly dissected the bodies and found that the hearts of the five people were all shattered. He was shocked.

There is no one else on Mount Huashan except that boy. He is from Quanzhen family, so how could he have such a vicious palm technique?
The more Hong Qigong thought about it, the more shocked he became. There was no time to bury the five ugly men, so he simply kicked their bodies down the valley one by one. Anyway, according to the customs of Sichuan, sky burial is also a way of burial, which is not considered a desecration of the corpse.

Wu Ugly: Sky burial is to place the corpse on the mountain to be eaten by vultures. Not only did you cut us open, you also kicked us down the valley. You still think you are a nice person.

But Xin Zhen and his companions went down Mount Hua, took a cart, and headed east.

Xin Zhen was driving in front and Xiao Longnu was in the car. Xin Zhen said loudly: "Our trip to Huashan ends here. I will travel east to the seaside, and then go out to Peach Blossom Island to discuss some matters with my uncle Guo." After Xin Zhen finished speaking, he did not expect Xiao Longnu to reply, and he whipped the ox to speed up.

During the journey, Xiao Longnu did not take the initiative to talk to Xin Zhen, but Xin Zhen often talked to him, but he mainly told him about the journey. The rest of the time, he would talk to Xiao Longnu about whatever happened.

They are all experiences of traveling in the world, such as where to eat, how to choose an inn, how to avoid shady shops, how to talk to people, what are the rules of the world, what sects there are in the world, etc.

It can be said that he takes care of every detail and is much more dedicated than the average master.

Xiao Longnu is very smart and remembers what she hears, but she cannot be taught how to deal with people. Xin Zhen did try to let Xiao Longnu deal with people. Although there was nothing wrong with her words, her tone and expression were difficult to change, which inevitably led to some misunderstandings.

Xin Zhen could only follow behind and clean up the mess, but when they arrived in Sanmenxia, ​​although Xiaolongnu was still quite old-fashioned, in Xin Zhen's opinion, when she was traveling alone in the world, at least she would not be easily cheated, nor would she do something ridiculous, and at least she would not just take other people's things and leave.

Xiao Longnu just lacks common sense, she is not stupid, on the contrary, she is actually very smart. She watched the inns and errands that Xin Zhen came into contact with, and watched Xin Zhen's responses. Sometimes she would ask questions, and her questions were very to the point, which was enough to show that he was extremely smart.

Maybe it was because she met more people, or because Xin Zhen talked to her all the time, or maybe it was because the environment changed and made her rely on Xin Zhen, Xiaolongnu actually gradually felt closer to Xin Zhen, talked more, and would take the initiative to ask about things from time to time.

One day, the two men came to Sanmenxia. They had been traveling for a long time and were very tired, so they found an inn to stay in. They ordered some food and were just sitting down to eat when they heard the sounds of many horses outside.

Xin Zhen looked towards the door, and saw a large group of Mongolian officers and soldiers coming in. The first one was an official who was not too old and had a refined appearance. When he saw Xin Zhen looking at him, he smiled and nodded. This smile was majestic but also kind. Xin Zhen knew from his temperament that this person was a high-ranking official of Mongolia.

When the people saw Xin Zhen and Xiao Longnu, they all showed strange expressions, because they were indeed too beautiful.

The man sat down on the chair, and the Mongolian soldiers came to chase him away. Before Xin Zhen could say anything, the official said, "We are all on the road, and it's not easy for us. You just need to be careful and don't chase people away."

These Mongolian officers and soldiers looked at Xin Zhen with warning eyes, indicating that he should not cause trouble, but Xin Zhen ignored them.

Xin Zhen looked at the young man and woman sitting with the official. The man was twenty-three or twenty-four years old, and the woman was only fifteen or sixteen years old. Xin Zhen thought about it for a moment, remembered some things, and then he understood a little.

After Xin Zhen finished his meal, he and Xiao Longnu went back to their room to rest.
