Chapter 383 The foundation is laid!

Having established the policy of remaining unchanged in the face of ever-changing circumstances, Xin Zhen was able to respond much more calmly.

Most of the water gangs near Pingjiang Prefecture selected their own leaders, and then Duan Yanqing, Shen Liqiu and others came to negotiate, and they all decided to make the Gusu Huashan Sect the co-leader of the Pingjiang Water Gang, and under the guidance of the Gusu Huashan Sect, they jointly embraced the charming Pingjiang Prefecture.

Of course, during this process, Shen Liqiu was in the spotlight.

As the eldest disciple of Huashan Sect, Shen Liqiu naturally had to come forward. He really was worthy of being the eldest senior brother and had extremely high aptitude. After his foundation was consolidated, he practiced the Yi Jin Jue Gu Chapter, and his martial arts improved by leaps and bounds. He played a big role in pacifying the Pingjiang Prefecture's Water Gang.

Of course, the current Shen Liqiu is not even a second-rate master, but there are not many second-rate masters in the Pingjiang Prefecture Water Gang. A third-rate master is considered very powerful, and most of them are second-rate people in the world. However, this is the norm.

There are tens of thousands of people in the martial arts world. The majority are the gangsters who don't know martial arts, the laborers doing hard work at the bottom level. The next level up are the gangsters who are proficient in boxing and kicking. They can be regarded as the small minions in the martial arts world, but they can already manage some people.

If a martial artist has a master and can practice common martial arts such as Iron Sand Palm, Eagle Claw, and Iron Shirt, he can already be famous in the martial arts world, and such a person is already quite powerful.

As for those who can be considered third-rate martial artists, they either have a good master or are gifted. They are already the best among the martial artists in the region, and they may even have a famous nickname, such as the Dragon King of Taihu Lake.

These are probably Shen Liqiu's opponents.

Under Duan Yanqing's care, Shen Liqiu wiped out the evil spirits. The situation in Pingjiang Prefecture gradually stabilized, and he also earned a resounding name - Gentleman Sword Shen Liqiu.

It is not surprising that Shen Liqiu got this name. Shen Liqiu himself was born into a scholar family. Even when dealing with people from the martial arts world, he was always polite and restrained, showing the demeanor of a Confucian scholar. Of course, he stood out among a group of people from the martial arts world. Therefore, it is normal for him to be called the Gentleman Sword.

When Xin Zhen heard the name Shen Liqiu, he couldn't help laughing, and Shen Liqiu felt uneasy when he laughed, wondering what happened to his master.

Xin Zhen naturally thought of his senior brother Yue Buqun.

Only Su Xinghe from the Xiaoyao Sect stayed with Wuyazi, while the rest were busy with their own things. Their respective properties had to be moved to Pingjiang Prefecture, so naturally they had to handle it personally.

Wuyazi's time is approaching, and he values ​​time very much. He lets Xin Zhen and Su Xinghe go. He teaches them Tianshan Six Yang Palm, Xiao Wuxiang Gong, Beiming Divine Art and Lingbo Weibu. Su Xinghe learns Xiao Wuxiang Gong and Tianshan Six Yang Palm, but cannot learn Beiming Divine Art and Lingbo Weibu.

Xin Zhen learned all the skills except the Bei Ming Divine Art, but to Xin Zhen, it was just adding a few martial arts skills, the rest was nothing more.

However, what made Xin Zhen quite happy was that what Wuyazi meant by the end of his life was that he could only live for another ten years.

Xin Zhen: “…”

Ordinary people: "My time is coming..." After a while, he died with a bang.

Wuyazi: "My time is coming..." I can only live for ten years.

Ok.

But Xin Zhen was quite happy. Wuyazi was a very interesting person. After his great revenge, he seemed very relaxed and his original temperament was revealed.

Xin Zhen was much older than Wuyazi, and his knowledge was as vast as the ocean. This made him very compatible with Xiaoyaozi, and the two of them became true friends.

Xin Zhen, Wuyazi and Su Xinghe got together to communicate every day. Wuyazi knew everything about music, chess, calligraphy, painting, medicine, local customs and opera, and was proficient in them all. The same was true for Su Xinghe, who received instruction from Wuyazi. Xin Zhen was not only proficient in music, chess, calligraphy, painting and medicine, but also in poisons, mathematics, politics, astronomy, geography, local customs and so on.

It is such a joy to see three learned men together.

Duan Yanqing, Shen Liqiu and the others had too many things to do, so they naturally had no time to join in. However, Xin Yu had plenty of time. In addition to practicing martial arts every day, he would join the three of them, watching them communicate. He learned a lot from what he saw and heard, and he didn't expect that he would be noticed by Wuyazi.

Wuyazi was quite resentful that he had no one to pass on his powerful skills to, but Su Xinghe was not young anymore, and none of the Eight Friends of Hangu were capable. He also looked down on the disciples of the Deaf and Mute Sect. In fact, he only looked up to Xin Zhen, but Xin Zhen's internal strength was stronger than his, so he was not interested in his internal strength.

But he saw hope in Xin Yu.

Xin Yu is such a pretty girl, and she is also very smart. She follows them every day, and remembers everything she hears and sees very quickly. She is as smart as her brother, and she is still in the initial stage of learning martial arts, so it is a perfect time for her to pass on her skills.

Wuyazi privately found Xin Zhen and told him about this. Xin Zhen frowned and said, "Why don't you live a few more years? Why do you think about this every day? I will take care of Xin Yu's martial arts training. With her progress, she will become a first-class master in just ten years. You don't need to worry too much.

On the contrary, Master, living ten more years is very important to us, and I believe that Senior Brother also thinks so."

Wuyazi shook his head and said, "I have lived for too long. Although I am alive now, it is just a torment. When you were attacked by that traitor, your body was left with fatal hidden injuries. This hidden injury has been constantly eroding my life and causing me great pain. Guess why I have to hang myself up every day? It's because the pain is unbearable. I've had enough of this kind of life."

Xin Zhen sighed when he heard this, he also knew about this situation. He did think of a way, but Wuyazi's injury left him, Su Xinghe and Doctor Xue helpless. The reason was that his origin had suffered devastating damage, and if it weren't for his internal energy supporting him, he would have died long ago.

Wuyazi said: "I have cultivated all my inner strength through hard work. It is extremely pure and gentle. It would be a pity if it were buried with me. It would be better for me to pass on this inner strength than for me to live on."

Seeing Wuyazi's persistence, Xin Zhen knew that he was also obsessed with it, so he could only say, "Master, you have to discuss it with Senior Brother, and don't be in a hurry to pass on the skills. Let's talk about it later."

Wuyazi smiled generously and said, "No need. Ji'er is cultivating her inner strength very quickly. The longer we delay, the more trouble we will have. I don't want to suffer this kind of pain anymore. I have been very happy here during this period of time, but it is also very tormenting at night."

When he said this, there was fear in his eyes.

This fear touched Xin Zhen's heart. If even Wuyazi couldn't stand it, it would be bad to persuade him. So he nodded and said, "Then I'll talk to Ji'er."

Xin Yu had no objection to this, but felt a little sorry for Wuyazi, and said, "Brother, are you saying that he will die after you pass on your skills?"

Xin Zhen shook his head and said, "Master was going to die anyway, and he passed the magic skills to you before his death, so that he would have something to think about in this world."

Xin Yu nodded obediently and said, "Okay, then I will live well for Senior Wuyazi." Xin Zhen smiled and said, "From now on, you have to call me Master."

Xin Yu nodded obediently.

Wuyazi was very anxious, so he taught Xin Yu his skills that night. Xin Zhen didn't want Su Xinghe to be unaware of the situation, so he pulled him outside the room to wait together. Su Xinghe seemed to have known about this day for a long time, and although he was sad, he was quite calm.

Su Xinghe and Xin Zhen whispered, "I see that Master has been taking good care of Ji'er recently. This has been anticipated. Among our group, only Ji'er has low skills and is a man of both talent and character. There is no one else except Ji'er."

Xin Zhen sighed and said, "I understand this, but I just think it's too fast."

Su Xinghe said: "Ji'er's internal strength is increasing too fast. If it doesn't improve faster, it will be bad in the end."

Well, Su Xinghe also understands the key points, so there is nothing more to say.

After an hour, they suddenly heard Xin Yu crying out, "Master!"

The two men immediately flew in and saw Wuyazi lying on the ground. They knelt on the ground together to see him off for the last time.

Regarding Wuyazi's funeral, Xin Zhen asked Su Xinghe if he wanted to arrange it. However, Su Xinghe said that the Xiaoyao Sect did not care about these things, and it should not be too ostentatious. It only required their own people to mourn and then find a place to bury him.

The Xiaoyao Sect was indeed very free and easy in their actions. Su Xinghe even buried Wuyazi without waiting for the Eight Friends of Hangu and others to return, saying that there was no need to wait for them to come back, and they could just come to the tomb to pay their respects when the time came.

Wuyazi passed on his magical skills to Xin Yu, and Xin Zhen had a lot more things to do.

Xin Yu was just a little girl, and suddenly she acquired magical skills. Xin Zhen was afraid that her mentality would be unbalanced, so he kept her by his side every day. On the one hand, it was convenient for him to teach her the martial arts of the Xiaoyao Sect, and on the other hand, it was to suppress Xin Yu and let her understand that acquiring magical skills does not make her invincible. You see, you can't even beat your own brother.

Xin Yu was not too proud. After all, she saw that although her brother was very skilled in martial arts, he did not seem to be proud of it. Instead, he read books and practiced calligraphy every day and did some interesting things. He only regarded martial arts as a small part of his life.

Xin Yu was quite calm and followed Xin Zhen's example. She learned some moves from him and followed her usual habit of reading books every day.

However, Xin Zhen did not dare to relax. When people have abilities beyond their own cognition, it will inevitably lead to cognitive distortion. This is something that will definitely happen. They will either become arrogant and indifferent to life, and eventually go to self-destruction.

In fact, it was a very good choice for Wuyazi to choose Xuzhu to teach him his magical skills. Xuzhu looked cowardly, but he actually had a deep level of Zen practice and was a very humble person. When there was no one who could teach him, he was still able to stick to his original intention and was not confused by the huge power. This was already extremely remarkable.

Xin Zhen carefully adjusted Xin Yu's cognition, taught her various matters in the martial arts world, and allowed Xin Yu to begin to understand the human heart and the evil spirits.

Originally these things could be done slowly, but now they have to be caught up. Xin Yu possesses superb martial arts skills, so she will inevitably step into the world of martial arts. If these ideological armaments are not up to date, they will just be a piece of fat meat.

Time flies, and another half a year has passed in the blink of an eye.

During the past six months, with the joint efforts of Duan Yanqing, the Eight Friends of Hangu, the original deaf-mute disciples, and Shen Liqiu and others, the Pingjiang Prefecture's Water Gang was subdued, and Wu Village also took sides, and peace was basically restored.

The Eight Friends of Hangu also moved their belongings from other places into Gusu City, and Gusu City underwent many changes as a result.

The Eight Friends of Hangu moved into Gusu City. The students and old friends they brought with them were all cultural celebrities or skilled craftsmen of the time, making the already culturally rich Gusu City even more brilliant. Literati from all over the world came here to visit, and even the charm of Bianjing City was taken away by Gusu City.

Now that the Huashan Sect has taken over Pingjiang Prefecture, they will naturally not let Yanziwu go. However, Xin Zhen is still wary of Murong Bo and only lets a few people protect it there. As long as Murong Bo is alive, Yanziwu will be in great danger.

However, Xin Zhen had no intention of going to Shaolin to find Murong Bo. If he went there with his current identity, Shaolin Temple would certainly think that he was looking for trouble, and if he was not careful, it would cause a huge conflict.

The Huashan Sect's foundation is not yet stable, and Shen Liqiu's generation of disciples have not yet truly grown up. If they are targeted by a targeted attack, it is better to stabilize the situation first.

As for the big case that was about to happen in Shaolin Temple, Xin Zhen was not very interested. As for the grudges between the Murong and Xiao families, with the Sweeping Monk around, it was estimated that they would not be able to cause any big trouble.

Since Qiao Feng was not in danger, Xin Zhen did not want to interfere too much. And there was no point in being the leading brother either.

Xin Zhen's mind was already on the thirty years to the future, when the Jin Dynasty would have destroyed the Song Dynasty, the north would be in ruins, countless people would have turned into blood and mud, and countless people would have been displaced.

Although Xin Zhen had been a human for several lifetimes, his blood was still hot. He could not care whether the Zhao Dynasty perished or not, but he could not just watch the people wail in pain.

However, Xin Zhen had no intention of joining in the fun, for the fun always came to him on its own.

One day, Duan Yanqing suddenly came to find Xin Zhen, and vomited blood as soon as they met. Xin Zhen was slightly startled, and reached out to grab Duan Yanqing's hand to feel his pulse.

Duan Yanqing smiled bitterly and said, "Don't worry, sir. It's just a lung injury. It will be fine after a few days of rest."

Xin Zhen nodded and said, "With your current strength, there are not many people who can hurt you. Who is it?"

Duan Yanqing said: "It was a man in black, using Shaolin Kung Fu, who hit me when I was not prepared, but he did not intend to take my life. He just told me that something big would happen in Shaolin Temple and the Duan family of Dali would also be there."

Xin Zhen chuckled when he heard this. This man in black must be either Murong Bo or Xiao Yuanshan.

Duan Yanqing said, "Sir, I want to go and take a look."

Xin Zhen thought for a moment and nodded, "I'll go with you."

This time, heroes from all over the world will gather at Shaolin Temple, including the Beggars' Sect, Gusu Murong, Jiumozhi, and the Duan clan of Dali. Xiao Feng will also be there, and Murong Bo, Xiao Yuanshan, and a sweeping monk will also appear...

Seems interesting too?
