Chapter 6: Tanhualang, Xin Tongpan.

Xin Zhen counted them and said, "Only eight merits."

Feng Qingyang smiled and said: "The foundation of Hunyuan is Hunyuan Gong and Hunyuan Palm, which are two skills.

As a master, I don't know Zixia Magic Art and Anti-Liangyi Sword Technique. Zixia Magic Art is something that only the head of the sect can learn, and Anti-Liangyi Sword Technique has been lost long ago, so these two things cannot be taught.

I will teach you the rest, especially the Xiyi Sword Technique, the Yangwu Sword Technique, and the Nineteen Styles of the Jade Girl. These three sword techniques represent the most powerful sword techniques of the Huashan School to some extent."

After saying that, Feng Qingyang passed the three sets of sword techniques to Xin Zhen one by one. Knowing that Xin Zhen had an extraordinary memory, he did not teach them separately but told them all directly. When Xin Zhen repeated them, there was indeed no mistake at all.

Afterwards, Feng Qingyang practiced with the sword a few times. After Xin Zhen watched it carefully a few times, he was able to dance with it himself.

Xin Zhen performed the three sword techniques several times before stopping. Feng Qingyang asked with a smile, "How do you feel?"

Xin Zhen exclaimed: "It is indeed worthy of being called Huashan Swordsmanship. Some of its exquisiteness is not inferior to Dugu Nine Swords.

Practicing these three sets of sword techniques is indeed of great benefit to the Dugu Nine Swords.

My understanding of the fundamentals of Dugu Nine Swords has in turn given me a deeper understanding of these three sets of sword techniques.

Therefore, we cannot simply say that these two sets of swordsmanship are the nourishment of Dugu Jiujian. The concept of Dugu Jiujian also raised the upper limit of these three sets of swordsmanship!"

Feng Qingyang laughed: "You are indeed a genius in swordsmanship. You have realized this so quickly.

After you have mastered the Dugu Nine Swords to a high level, you can look at these three sword techniques and you will still be able to learn from them. The Huashan sword technique is indeed profound and extensive."

Hearing Feng Qingyang say this, Xin Zhen began to pay more attention to these three sets of sword techniques. He thought that while studying the Dugu Nine Swords in the future, he should also study these three sets of sword techniques carefully.

Thus, the mission of entering the mountain this time was completed. Xin Zhen prepared the mountain goat, skewered it with a wooden stick and grilled it. Then he continued to apply seasoning on it, and soon a charming aroma came out.

After tasting it, Feng Qingyang said with emotion: "After eating what you made, I will never be able to eat anything else again."

Xin Zhen invited Feng Qingyang to go with him again, but was still rejected.

When the autumn wind blows, Huashan becomes a colorful world, with red and yellow leaves all over the mountains, which is very beautiful.

Xin Zhen packed his bags and set off for Xi'an in the autumn wind to take the exam.
-
Three years later.

FJ Province.

Fuzhou City.

At the gatehouse of the Tongpan Hall of the Fuzhou government office, Dianshi Yu sat anxiously waiting to be summoned.

"Yu Dianshi, Xin Tongpan invites you to come over."

There was a sound coming from inside.

Yu Dianshi jumped up, quickly straightened his clothes, took a deep breath, and walked towards the Tongpan Hall.

Sitting behind the table in the Tongpan Hall was a young man in plain silver clothes. He wore a black gauze hat, a round-collared shirt and a belt. These were the usual clothes for officials, but they looked very unusual on this young man.

Yu Dianshi glanced at the young man secretly, but couldn't see the details clearly in an emergency. However, his mind was filled with idioms such as "handsome and graceful", "elegant and graceful", and "as handsome as Pan An". He didn't know how he learned them, but they suddenly appeared in his mind.

Yu Dianshi hurriedly greeted him: "Your humble servant Yu Jinyu greets Lord Xin."

The young man raised his eyes, and Yu Dianshi felt that there was a bright light in his eyes, which made him feel dizzy.

The young man was naturally Xin Zhen.

Xin Zhen smiled and said, "Yu Dianshi, it's been a long time since we last met. How come you have time to come and see me today?" Xin Zhen was very approachable, but Yu Dianshi did not dare to take Xin Zhen seriously as approachable.

This Lord Xin was the third place in the imperial examination, and his teacher was the Grand Secretary Xia of the cabinet.

Although Grand Secretary Xia recently lost the competition for the position of Prime Minister to Grand Secretary Yan, who would dare to look down on the students of this Grand Secretary?

Yu Dianshi quickly replied, "Sir Xin, didn't you instruct me last time to keep an eye on whether there are any strange Shu people in the city? After I went back, I held several meetings in a row to let the people below pay attention.

I didn't find anything a while ago, but I did find something yesterday. I found dozens of Sichuanese wearing green robes and white cloth on their heads coming to Fuzhou City, so I hurried over to report to you."

Xin Zhen narrowed his eyes slightly when he heard this: Finally here.

It was not his wish that he came to Fuzhou City to serve as a magistrate, but it was the result of chance.

Three years ago, he passed the autumn examination and became a juren. When he took part in the spring examination, he ranked third, the so-called Tanhualang.

Afterwards, he was selected as a scholar of the imperial court and was taken into the cabinet to study by his teacher, Xia Daxueshi. It can be said that his future was limitless.

But later, when Xia Daxueshi and Yan Daxueshi competed for the position of Prime Minister, they lost, and he was framed by Yan Daxueshi and dismissed from his post.

Xin Zhen was also implicated and was sent to Fuzhou to serve as a local official.

However, Xin Zhen was not depressed at all. It was normal to have ups and downs in officialdom.

Fuzhou is not a cold and harsh place, and being a magistrate is relatively comfortable.

Recently, he also plans to raise funds to build several schools in Fuzhou, repair the city walls and roads, and improve people's livelihood. Of course, reporting it will also be considered a political achievement.

It’s just that the merchants in Fuzhou are not very cooperative.

But those are all small matters. Whether or not there are achievements is secondary. The key is to make no mistakes.

Originally, Xin Zhen thought he had no entanglement with the underworld, but when he came to Fuzhou to serve as an official, entanglement began.

There is usually nothing happening in Fuzhou, but there is a hidden danger, which is the Fuwei Escort Agency in Fuzhou.

If the Qingcheng Sect wipes out the Fuwei Escort Agency, it will be no small matter, and the Fuzhou government will be under great pressure.

Lord Yan is now watching his teacher's movements closely. If anything goes wrong, he will definitely be held accountable.

Although Xin Zhen was not a prefect, nor was he the co-magistrate in charge of public security, Lord Yan's whip would definitely not avoid him and would even hit him directly!
So, Xin Zhen had to deal with the underworld.

"Have they decided where to stay?"

Xin Zhen asked.

Yu Dianshi nodded quickly: "It has been confirmed. They are not living in the city, but in a house outside the city. I have someone watching them."

Xin Zhen stood up and said, "Make some arrangements. Call a few dozen people to go to the armory to bring swords, guns, bows and arrows. Just go and get them. I have already made the arrangements."

Yu Dianshi hurriedly trotted all the way to the rest room for the jailers and shouted, and immediately dozens of jailers were pulled out.

Under the guidance of the Dianshi, he received swords, spears, bows and arrows, and then waited at the gate of the government office.

This scene alarmed the prefect and the co-magistrate. When they came out and saw that it was Xin Zhen who was leading the team, they waved and asked a few questions, and then dispersed.

Xin Zhen rode a horse and led dozens of people out of the city. Under the leadership of Dianshi Yu, he headed straight to the residential area where the Qingcheng Sect was staying.
