Chapter 79 Dad, you are confused!

Hengshan City.

The largest city in southern Huguang.

The streets are bustling with people and merchants.

There was an endless stream of peddlers, shouting and hawking their wares, and from time to time you could see a horse-drawn carriage passing through the crowd.

There are hundreds of people in the Qingcheng Sect, and after entering Hengshan City, they are not conspicuous in the crowd.

Food and accommodation is a big problem that needs to be solved.

And ordinary inns cannot accommodate so many of them.

Yu Canghai was about to give orders to divide them into several groups and find more inns for them to stay in.

Lin Pingzhi suggested at this time: "Master, Uncle, I heard from my father before that my Fuwei Escort Agency has expanded its business to Huguang. Hengshan City happens to have a branch of my Fuwei Escort Agency. Why don't you bring the Qingcheng Sect disciples and live in my escort agency? This will save you some money."

Chu Yuan said: "Is this appropriate?"

Yu Canghai pondered for a moment and said, "Pingzhi's suggestion is a good idea."

Qu Feiyan asked, "Xiao Linzi, can your escort agency accommodate so many people?"

Boom!
As soon as Qu Feiyan finished speaking, Chu Yuan hit her forehead hard with two fingers.

Qu Feiyan rubbed her forehead and looked at Chu Yuan with a wronged look on her face: "Master, what are you doing?"

The blow that the master gave her just now was quite hard and her forehead turned red.

She always felt that her master must have some personal grudge against her because of what he did just now.

Chu Yuan said: "Don't be disrespectful, just call me Senior Brother."

Qu Feiyan didn't dare to argue with Chu Yuan anymore. She lowered her head and muttered softly, "It's obvious that I entered before him. He should call me Senior Sister."

Chu Yuan ignored Qu Feiyan, because Qu Feiyan and Lin Pingzhi became his and his senior brother Yu Canghai's disciples at about the same time.

It was just because he found it too troublesome at the time, so he completed the apprenticeship ceremony first.

Logically speaking, Lin Pingzhi is the disciple of senior brother Yu Canghai, and Lin Pingzhi is also older than Qu Feiyan, so there is nothing wrong with Qu Feiyan calling Lin Pingzhi senior brother.

However, only Qu Feiyan has been struggling with this issue.

When Lin Pingzhi heard what Chu Yuan and his junior sister Qu Feiyan said, he didn't know what to say, so he just stood there and smiled.

"Master Yilin, we have arrived at Hengshan City. Are you going to look for your fellow disciples, or will you continue to stay with us?"

Lin Pingzhi was just about to take everyone to his home branch of the Fuwei Escort Agency in Hengshan City. He thought of the cute little nun from the Hengshan School in the team, so he asked Yi Lin.

"It will be much safer after entering the city. Even if I encounter that rapist, I believe he won't dare to do anything. I will go find my master and fellow disciples."

Yilin said.

"Then Master Yilin, be careful."

Qu Feiyan warned.

"Thank you, Junior Sister Qu and Senior Brother Lin, for saving me and allowing me to travel with you all from Qingcheng Sect."

After Yi Lin thanked everyone from Qingcheng Sect, she placed her hands on her chest, performed a Buddhist salute, and then turned and left, disappearing in the crowd on the street.

Led by Lin Pingzhi, the people of Qingcheng Sect asked several passers-by on the street before they found the location of the Fuwei Escort Agency branch in Hengshan City.

The Hengshan City Escort Agency branch is located in the west of the city.

It was not far from where Chu Yuan and the others were, and it only took them quarter of an hour to get there.

Everyone stood in front of the Hengshan City branch of the Fuwei Escort Agency and looked around, only to see that it was quite large.

It is a house with four entrances.

At the door stood a flagpole three meters high and as thick as a bowl.

Hanging on the flagpole was a banner with the words "Fuwei Escort Agency" inscribed on it in red on a black background with yellow patterns.

At the entrance of Fuwei Escort Agency, there were two escorts wearing black cloth and holding swords guarding it.

"Are you here to entrust us with escorting or to cause trouble?"

When the two escorts saw so many people suddenly coming to the door of Fuwei Escort Agency, each holding a long sword, and they were all Taoists wearing Taoist robes, their eyes suddenly became solemn and nervous. One of them said.

"I'm Lin Pingzhi, don't you know me?"

Hearing the voice, Lin Pingzhi walked to the front, held his head high, and spoke like a master.

"Lin Pingzhi?"

"Are you the young master?"

When the two bodyguards heard Lin Pingzhi's name, they were stunned for a moment, then one of them reacted and said quickly.

"That's right, why don't you go and inform your boss?"

Lin Pingzhi saw that the escort recognized him.

"Master and everyone please wait a moment."

Upon hearing that it was their young master, the bodyguard who recognized Lin Pingzhi's identity winked at the other bodyguard and turned into the house, leaving only the other bodyguard guarding the door.

Not long after, a middle-aged man in his forties, wearing a yellow-brown brocade robe, with gray hair on his temples, a sturdy figure, sharp eyes, and a pair of iron balls in his hands, walked out under the guidance of the bodyguard.

"Uncle Huang..."

Seeing this middle-aged man, Lin Pingzhi's eyes lit up and he shouted happily.

He knew this guy.

He was worried before that it would be difficult to talk to the person in charge if he didn’t know him!

Now he doesn't have that worry anymore.

"So it's Pingzhi. The last time I saw you, you were only six years old. I didn't expect that you have grown so big in the blink of an eye."

The big escort leader named Huang came out and smiled when he saw Lin Ping.

The Fuwei Escort Agency's business spreads across ten provinces, with branches in every major city. In addition to Lin Zhennan, the chief escort, there are also senior escort chiefs, junior escort chiefs, senior flag masters, and junior flag masters.

In a big city like Hengshan City, the person who is in charge of the branch affairs is the chief escort.

Every year before the Chinese New Year, no matter how big or small the escort leader is, they have to go to the Fuwei Escort Agency's main escort office in Fuzhou City to pay a visit to the chief escort leader Lin Zhennan and report on the operating conditions of each branch.

When they went to the General Escort Agency to pay a visit to the Chief Escort, most of the escort leaders, big and small, had met Lin Pingzhi, the son of the Chief Escort.

Especially, it is possible that the Fuwei Escort Agency will be handed over to Lin Pingzhi, the only son of the chief escort agency leader, in the future.

So every time they went, they would bring a lot of gifts to make Lin Pingzhi happy.

As time went by, Lin Pingzhi had a very good relationship with many escort leaders, both big and small, in the Fuwei Escort Agency.

"Yeah, Uncle Huang, I didn't expect that so much time has passed in the blink of an eye."

Lin Pingzhi was also happy.

"I heard that you later joined the Qingcheng Sect and became the direct disciple of the sect leader?"

As Huang Dabiaotou spoke, he looked at the group of Taoists holding long swords behind Lin Pingzhi.

Finally, his gaze fell on Chu Yuan and Yu Canghai, because these two Taoists were not only dressed differently, but their temperaments were also very different. They did not look like ordinary Taoists from the Qingcheng Sect!
It was said that a few years ago, the Fuwei Escort Agency encountered a crisis and was besieged by the Five Mountains Sword Sect, so it surrendered to the Qingcheng Sect.

In recent years, the Qingcheng Sect has been very powerful, with a very good momentum of development, and is showing signs of being on par with Shaolin and Wudang.

"Yes, Uncle Huang, my master and uncle are here. This time we are here to attend the Hengshan Sect's Liu Zhengfeng's retirement ceremony. I think it's better to stay in the escort agency than in an inn. After all, we are all family."

Lin Ping's Way.

"So Sect Leader Yu and the Qingcheng Sword Immortal are here too. I have heard of your great names for a long time."

Upon hearing this, the expression of the head escort Huang changed, and he clasped his fists to Yu Canghai and Chu Yuan who were standing behind Lin Pingzhi.

These two are both well-known figures in the world.

"trouble!"

"Excuse me!"

Yu Canghai and Chu Yuan bowed to Huang Dabiaotou in return.

"Since you are all from the Qingcheng Sect, then we are one family. Please come in quickly."

Huang Dabiaotou stepped aside and invited the people from Qingcheng Sect into the courtyard.

Those who can serve as the head of a branch of the Fuwei Escort Agency are all martial arts masters with some fame in the local area.

However, compared with the leader of the Qingcheng Sect and the "Qingcheng Sword Immortal", masters who are famous in the world, he is countless levels behind.

"Please stop what you are doing. Tell the escorts and helpers in the courtyard to help the Taoist priest of Qingcheng Sect light the fire and cook."

After entering the yard, Huang Da, the escort leader, gave orders to several escorts who were busy in the yard.

"As you command, Chief Escort."

The escorts immediately ran to the backyard to give orders.

Before long, the entire Hengshan City Fuwei Escort Agency branch began to become busy.

"Master Yu, Qingcheng Sword Immortal, Young Master, please move to the study for a chat."

Huang the escort leader invited Chu Yuan, Yu Canghai, and the young master Lin Pingzhi to the guest study for a discussion.

I even went to the restaurant and ordered a table of food and wine.

Yu Canghai and Chu Yuan thought that Huang the Great Escort was treating them as honored guests.

But after three rounds of wine and five flavors of dishes.

Huang the Great Escort suddenly clapped his hands, and immediately two escorts came in, each bringing in a black wooden box that was nearly one foot long, wide, and two feet high.

"Boss Huang, what do you mean by this?"

"What's in this box?"

Chu Yuan and Yu Canghai were stunned, with a hint of confusion in their eyes.

"Open it and take a look."

Huang Dabiaotou laughed.

Chu Yuan and Yu Canghai heard this and opened the black wooden box. In front of Chu Yuan, there was a one-foot-tall jade crane with eyes and feathers clearly visible, looking lifelike.

In the black wooden box in front of Yu Canghai was a ruby ​​coral the size of a porcelain bowl.

These two things are very valuable and look priceless.

"Uncle Huang, you..."

Seeing the head of his own escort agency branch bribing his master and uncle so openly and in front of him, Lin Pingzhi really didn't know what to say.

He wouldn't be angry about it.

It’s just that the chief escort in our own team was too blatant in his actions.

If you want to build friendship by giving gifts, even if you do it behind his back, it’s ok!
"Pingzhi, don't worry. The two gifts given to Sect Leader Yu and Qingcheng Sword Immortal are all my savings over the years. I didn't take a single cent from the escort agency."

When Huang Dabiaotou saw Lin Pingzhi's expression, he explained with a smile.

"Boss Huang gave me and my junior brother such an expensive gift. I'm afraid he has other requests, right?"

Yu Canghai said calmly.

If it were his old self, he might be happy to see this thing.

But since the merger of the two sects, as the head of the Qingcheng Sect, his status and position are only comparable to those of a few people in the martial arts world. Such worldly wealth is no longer taken seriously by him.

"Master Yu has a keen eye..."

Huang Da Biaotou praised.

"The reason why I spent all my family wealth to give these two gifts to Master Yu and the Qingcheng Sword Immortal is because I like to practice martial arts, but I have no way to obtain better martial arts."

"I heard that the Qingcheng Sect is a big sect in the martial arts world. I believe that there must be countless powerful and profound martial arts in the sect. I only ask Sect Master Yu and the Qingcheng Sword Immortal to teach me a martial art that Sect Master Yu and the Qingcheng Sword Immortal do not appreciate. If so, I will be very grateful."

Huang Dabiaotou stated his purpose.

Chu Yuan and Yu Canghai suddenly realized that they came here for martial arts.

Yes, there are only a few opportunities to acquire powerful martial arts in the world, unless you join one of the major martial arts sects.

However, big sects value clean conduct, and disciples need to be trained from a young age.

If someone like Huang Dabiaotou wants to practice martial arts, he can only learn some common martial arts that are mediocre in power and are circulated in the martial arts world.

Not only is it not very powerful after practicing it, it is also a waste of time.

"If you want to ask for martial arts, go find my junior brother and ask him. If he agrees, you can achieve your goal!"

Yu Canghai did not give in.

He pushed the problem to Chu Yuan.

This escort leader Huang wanted to learn martial arts, but the martial arts practiced by the disciples of Qingcheng Sect, such as "Songfeng Sword Technique", "Jiuxiao Gangqi", "Qingcheng Heart Technique" and "Crushing Heart Palm", could definitely not be passed on to him.

Because this is the Qingcheng Sect's martial arts.

However, my junior fellow apprentice was incredibly talented, and for him, creating his own martial arts was as easy as eating and drinking.

It is said that a few years ago he actually created a magical martial art that can make the practitioner look young and eternal.

"The Art of Eternal Youth"!
He also tried to practice, but it was extremely difficult.

There is also the martial arts of dual cultivation, and it is said that my junior brother is also involved in it.

Over the years, no one knew how many martial arts this junior brother of theirs had created.

If this big escort leader surnamed Huang could convince his junior fellow apprentice, he might be able to learn a martial art from him.

"What kind of martial arts do you want to learn? Internal strength, fists, or swordsmanship?"

Chu Yuan thought about it and said.

He indeed possessed a great many martial arts skills, and some of them were too weak to be placed in the Qingcheng Sect's Scripture Library.

It’s tasteless to eat, it’s a pity to throw it away!
There's nothing wrong in giving this big escort named Huang a gift.

"I don't want any of them. Although internal strength, fists, kicks, swordsmanship and other martial arts are good, they take a long time to practice and the effects are too slow. For those of us who travel around the world, there is no immediate effect."

Huang Dabiao shook his head.

"So what magical skill do you want?"

Chu Yuan was curious.

"I want a horizontal training martial arts similar to the Golden Bell Cover and Iron Shirt. I wonder if the Qingcheng Sword Immortal has it?"

The escort leader surnamed Huang said.

"You are really giving me a hard time if you practice martial arts horizontally."

Chu Yuan was in deep thought.

The Qingcheng Sect and he both have the better "Jiuxiao Gangqi" and "Xuanmen Gangqi", so why did he create that horizontal martial arts!
"There's none……"

The escort leader surnamed Huang's expression darkened, and he was about to choose a new martial art.

"Yes, I do have a martial art that is very suitable for you. It is called 'Qingmu Tiejia Gong'!"

Chu Yuan suddenly thought of something.

This was when he was practicing the "Sunflower Manual" and his extreme yang internal force caused damage to his meridians. He modified the "Sunflower Manual" and created that part of the martial arts independently.

The original purpose of this martial art is to repair the body's meridians and internal injuries.

Later he discovered that the constant recovery of his meridians and internal injuries during practice could improve his physical fitness.

"Huang Jue thanks the Qingcheng Sword Immortal."

Upon hearing that Chu Yuan actually had a set of horizontal martial arts, Huang Dabiaotou felt extremely happy. He knelt down and kowtowed as soon as he heard his name.

"and many more……"

Seeing that Huang Jue was about to kneel down and kowtow to him, Chu Yuan hurriedly supported him to prevent him from kneeling.

"Let me be frank. This martial art was created by me when I was practicing a martial art. No one has ever practiced it before, and no one knows what effect it will have after practicing it. Moreover, it is extremely painful to practice, and you need to get injured repeatedly to recover. It is like torturing yourself. If you can't persist, you can't blame me!"

Chu Yuan said.

"Huang Jue is already grateful to the Qingcheng Sword Immortal for granting me the power. If I can't bear the pain of practicing, it's my own problem. I can't blame anyone else."

Huang Jue said quickly.

He thought to himself, "It seems that the legend is true. This Qingcheng Sword Immortal is indeed incredibly talented, comparable to Zhang Sanfeng, and can easily create a martial art."

"Go get some pen and ink, I'll tell you the formula and you can copy it down yourself."

Chu Yuan said.

Upon hearing this, Huang Jue immediately gave a wink to the escort who had been waiting on the side after taking the box, and the escort immediately went to get pen and ink.

Chu Yuan said: "I said, you record it!"

Chu Yuan's unhurried voice rang out in the room: "Put your hands on top of your head to benefit your three burners, and use your hands and feet to strengthen your waist and hips..."

Half an hour later, Chu Yuan's voice gradually stopped.

"Have you finished copying?" Chu Yuan asked.

"I've finished copying." Huang Jue said.

Even though his right hand was numb from copying, Huang Jue still had a happy look on his face.

"Huang Jue pays homage to the Master!"

Huang Jue suddenly knelt in front of Chu Yuan and shouted.

Logically speaking, he is already over 40 years old, and it is totally unreasonable for him to worship Chu Yuan, a master who is more than ten years younger than him.

"I don't accept apprentices."

Chu Yuan said in a calm tone.

If Huang Jue had said that he wanted to be his disciple at the beginning, he might not even bother to teach him martial arts.

"Huang Jue knows that he is not blessed enough to become a disciple of Qingcheng Sword Immortal, but Qingcheng Sword Immortal has passed on his skills to me. Regardless of whether Qingcheng Sword Immortal admits it or not, from now on, as long as you are here, I will call you Master."

Huang Jue said stubbornly.

"As you wish."

Seeing Huang Jue being so stubborn, Chu Yuan felt a bit of a headache, and he said helplessly.

……

late at night.

After the banquet.

Yu Canghai returned to the room Huang Jue arranged for him.

Yu Canghai took off his shoes, socks and Taoist robe and just lay down on the bed.

Suddenly he sat up from the bed, slapped his head, looked annoyed, and shouted, "It's broken."

Yu Renyan was also in Yu Canghai's house at this time. Since there were not enough rooms in the escort agency, he and his father slept in the same room these days.

Yu Renyan, who was sleeping in another bed nearby, got up upon hearing the sound and supported his upper body with his arms: "What's wrong, Dad?"

Yu Canghai said: "The head of Hengshan City's Fuwei Escort Agency is a powerful figure, and he is very tactful. Just now at the banquet, he gave gifts to me and your uncle, and asked for a martial art from your uncle, and even called your uncle his master."

Yu Renyan was puzzled and asked, "Did Master Uncle accept a new disciple? But that escort leader is already in his forties, he is not qualified to join our Qingcheng Sect!"

Yu Canghai said: "That's not the case, it's just that the big escort leader wanted to call you uncle and master."

The room was silent for a moment, and Yu Renyan suddenly sat up from the bed and said:

"Dad, you are so confused! Why don't you stop him? Huang Jue will call my uncle "Master". After my uncle dies decades later, Huang Jue might compete with my Qingcheng Sect for the title of my uncle's inheritance."

It's not impossible.

If Uncle Master Chu Yuan can really reach the same level as Master Zhang Sanfeng, this is very likely to happen.

Yu Canghai himself was also very upset: "I didn't think of this at all at the time."

Yu Renyan had no choice but to lie down again: "Yeah, it's too late to say anything now."
