Chapter 263 Huashan Sect

Before the apprenticeship banquet was over, Yan Xu took Lin Pingzhi away, and from then on he had a complete understanding of the Lin family's affairs.

Although his ancestor's sudden death was a scandal that could be blamed on him for the rest of his life, Lin Zhennan knew that this was the best way. Especially after experiencing Yu Canghai's night attack, it shattered all his fantasies and made him realize that the Sword Manual of Exorcism was no longer just an ancestral heirloom.

If you don't have enough financial strength, this thing will be a death warrant. If your whole family is on the road together, you won't even know whose name to put in when buying insurance.

Face or life, in fact, it is not difficult to choose in many cases, especially after Ping'er became Yuan Hua Zhenren's disciple. This scandal is nothing at all, and even countless people envy him. So he chose to lift the veil of his ancestors in public and expose all the matters about the Sword Manual of Exorcism.

Although the cassock recording the Exorcism Sword Technique was taken away by Master Yuan Hua as a gift for his apprenticeship, anyone with a little bit of common sense would know that the Lin family must still have the complete Exorcism Sword Manual.

The problem is, even if the sword manual is stolen, who would dare to practice it?

If you practice, it proves that you have cut it.

Even if you are invincible at that time, what good will it be? You are not even a man, and you still expect to be a powerful figure in the world? I am afraid that as long as your opponent takes off his pants, you will be ashamed and embarrassed.

Even if there really was a shameless and ruthless person who stole the sword manual, have you ever considered the godlike Yuan Hua Zhenren?

If you master the sword technique to ward off evil, you may become invincible in the world and have no rivals in the martial arts world. However, the real person is cultivating immortals, which is completely different from practicing martial arts.

Even the most ignorant person knows that even if Lin Yuantu were resurrected, he would not be able to recreate the earth-shattering blow of the Fuwei Escort Agency, not to mention who can say for sure whether that is Yuan Hua Zhenren's limit.

With this great god as their backer, the Lin family can not only rest assured after the exposure, but can also use it to develop the Fuwei Escort Agency even stronger.

You can choose not to give face to Lin Yuantu, after all, the person is dead, but who dares not to give face to Master Yuan Hua?

But these had nothing to do with Yan Xu anymore. He changed into a low-key Taoist robe and took Lin Pingzhi towards Mount Hua, where he would implement his next plan.

On the day of the apprenticeship banquet, someone from Huashan also came, but it was not Linghu Chong, but Huashan’s model worker Lao Denuo.

Because of his older age and steady work style, Lao Denuo was treated like a brick by Yue Buqun, to be moved wherever he was needed. Although he had no merits, he had plenty of hard work, and it was not easy for him to achieve this level as an undercover agent.

If Lao Denuo knew about it, it meant that Yue Buqun and Zuo Lengchan knew about it. If the Lin family stayed in the Fuwei Escort Agency, they might not be able to withstand the upcoming turmoil, so Yan Xu was in a hurry to leave. As for the destination, it was naturally Huashan.

Along the way, compared to his previous bad temper, Lin Pingzhi is now very obedient. He always looks at Yan Xu with awe and pride, because this is his master, a god-like figure.

Yan Xu did not treat him badly. He passed on to him the Taoist scriptures and the basics of internal martial arts that he learned from Uncle Jiu without holding back.

As for other things, it won’t happen so quickly. It will take two or three years just to lay the foundation.

Lin Pingzhi is not like him. With the help of the Godly Ghost Body, he can obtain the ultimate physical body and iron will in a short period of time. He only needs to supplement his skills to stand at the top.

The road was not very peaceful. At this time, the Ming Dynasty was inevitably heading towards decline, resulting in the breeding of many viruses and harmful substances inside. However, due to its size, no matter how bad the situation was, it would not be possible to change the dynasty in a short time.

Not to mention that he has already come, how could he sit idly by and watch an entire nation change their hairstyle, and still keep their hair but lose their head? It seems that the Green Dragon Crescent Blade in his hand is not vegetarian. He should decisively carry out a national integration, let the other party join this big collective as a minority, and create a harmonious society together.

Arriving at the foot of Mount Hua, the first thing Yan Xu did was to put on his luxurious attire and go to the government office to buy land and handle his household registration.

It is common for people in the underworld to be lawless, but Yan Xu is not like that.

First of all, the Ming Dynasty still exists, and its system and rule have not declined much. Secondly, according to his plan, there will be some subsequent matters that will inevitably require dealing with the government.

Therefore, it is important to abide by the rules openly, which means that he will not act recklessly and will be more easily accepted by the ruling class.

With his good clothes and the right amount of money, he was able to handle things smoothly, and at the same time, he left a deep impression on the local officials. Height, appearance, bearing, clothing, conversation, and financial resources are all external factors, but they are the most direct way to measure a person's strength and power. Obviously, Yan Xu scored very high in each of them, so even the county magistrate was very polite to this Taoist priest who suddenly appeared, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that he valued him.

The land that Yan Xu bought is naturally on Mount Hua. As for whether Yue Buqun is willing or not, he must be kidding himself if he really thinks Mount Hua is his home.

The great ancestor Chen Tuan had to resort to a game of chess to conquer Mount Hua. How could Yue Buqun dare to say that?

If he really dared to say that, the government would send troops to encircle and suppress him.

Those who give you face are from the Huashan Sect, and those who don’t are bandits who rule the mountain.

Not to mention that Huashan occupies a large area. Even during its peak period, the Huashan Sect could not occupy the entire Huashan, let alone now.

The huge Huashan Mountain has five main peaks, among which the east, west and south peaks are in a tripod shape and are the main peaks of Huashan Mountain and the location of the Huashan School.

In addition, the Middle Peak and the North Peak complement each other, and the surrounding small peaks stand around them, like layers of petals of a blue lotus, forming the beautiful scenery of the entire Huashan Mountain.

Because the Huashan Sect's strength was greatly damaged, it now only occupies the South Peak, known as the head of Huashan. The other four peaks are completely empty, so Yan Xu successfully bought a piece of land on the North Peak named Yuntai Peak.

As for buying the entire mountain, let’s not talk about whether it is necessary or not. Even if it is necessary, the local government would not dare to sell it because they are not qualified to do so.

After putting away the land deed, Yan Xu took Lin Ping to climb Mount Hua.

The main attraction these days is the original ecology. Except for a stone-paved mountain road leading to Huashan Sect, most of the rest are mountain paths, where surprises pop up from time to time.

Fortunately, with the Huashan Sect, there are no bandits who occupy the mountain and act as kings, nor are there many large ferocious beasts. As long as you are careful about snakes, insects and terrain, it is relatively safe.

After coming here, Yan Xu naturally inquired a lot about the Huashan Sect, and also gained some understanding of the sect structure of this world.

For example, the Huashan Sect, whether it is the underworld or the government, most people tacitly acknowledge the other party's ownership of Huashan.

Of course, it was just a tacit agreement. The government would not refuse someone like Yan Xu who came with real money. After all, who would refuse money? As for whether the person could keep the property after buying it, they didn't care.

In addition, many landlords at the foot of Mount Hua would pay money to the Huashan Sect, which could be called a tribute, and the Huashan Sect naturally had the obligation to protect them from threats other than those from the government, such as robbers, bandits, wild beasts and the like.

At the same time, most of the Huashan Sect's outer disciples and servants also came from the local area, forming a close-knit and exclusive group.

In addition, nearby martial arts schools, escort agencies, and even mountain strongholds that want to gain a foothold or pass through this area will also give Huashan Sect some money.

Together with the Huashan Sect’s local industries, they constitute the sect’s sphere of influence and source of income.

Originally, the Huashan Sect was very powerful. It was the leader of the Five Mountains Sword Sects, and both Shaolin and Wudang had to give it enough face.

Unfortunately, after a bloody and brutal internal struggle, their sphere of influence was reduced to a circle. After all, there were only two people left in the huge Huashan Mountain, and they had to cook their own meals, so how could they talk about power?

Later, with the efforts of Yue Buqun, the situation finally recovered a little. At least the landlords at the foot of the mountain were willing to pay money, so that they did not have to live off their old capital and had enough money to accept disciples.

But if it is farther away, it will not work. Even if Yue Buqun runs himself to pieces, he will not be able to take care of everything. And none of his disciples can take charge on their own. The only reliable one is an undercover agent who has been lying in wait for three years.

Thinking of this, Yan Xu couldn't help but shook his head. No matter what kind of character Yue Buqun was, he had devoted himself to the Huashan Sect, and in the end, he sacrificed his entire family.
