The Beacon of Kyushu

Chen Tuan did not answer, but silently placed the knife on the oil lamp to heat it. Soon, the knife was slightly hot from the flames, and Chen Tuan took advantage of the residual heat on the knife to cut open the bite mark on Wan Jianfeng's back that had long since healed.

The wound on Wan Jianfeng's back was cut open by the blade, and blood immediately flowed down, making him grimace in pain. Chen Tuan turned the blade in his hand and cut off all the bitten skin around it, and poured most of the dog brain on the wound that was constantly bleeding, and then carefully sewed the wound up with needle and thread.

Then, he said to Chen Tafa, "Shou Zheng, rub the remaining dog brains evenly on the several scratches on Jianfeng's body. Remember to rub every wound and don't miss any one, otherwise all your efforts will be wasted." Chen Tafa nodded, took the wooden bowl from his master, and carefully rubbed the wounds of Wan Jianfeng.

Not long after, Wan Jianfeng's throat stopped spasming and his whole body trembling gradually subsided. After a while, Wan Jianfeng suddenly opened his eyes and cursed: "Damn it, you want to kill me or take my life? It hurts me to death!" He yelled and struggled to get up.

Chen Tuan's left hand was as fast as the wind, and before Wan Jianfeng could react, he had already tapped several of Wan Jianfeng's vital points. Wan Jianfeng felt that he had no strength in his body, and it was extremely difficult to move even a little bit. Then he gradually calmed down, "Master... Master, it's you! I... I thought I had fallen into the hands of the iron-skinned demon again, and he wanted to peel off my delicate skin and chop off this handsome head."

Chen Tafa asked, "Brother Wan, have you forgotten about coming to Huashan?"

"Well... yes... I did forget a little... Usually I always say that this person is not smart and that person is not smart, but unexpectedly, my brain is worse than anyone else's." Wan Jianfeng endured the severe pain in his back and forced out a nonchalant smile.

Chen Tuan took out a jade bottle from his sleeve, handed it to Wan Jianfeng and said, "Jianfeng, this bottle contains a magical medicine that cures hydrophobia. Take one pill each morning and evening. I guarantee that you will be completely cured within half a month, and the disease will never recur."

Wan Jianfeng took the jade bottle with a smile and said, "Master, you are not Taishang Laojun, how come you always have all kinds of strange elixirs? If you really ascend to heaven and become an immortal one day, I am afraid that Taishang Laojun will have to ask the Jade Emperor for his bones."

“May you be blessed with infinite happiness!” Chen Tuan’s tone was a little serious, but a smile appeared on his lips. “Jianfeng, you are not a disciple of the Three Pure Ones, but you can’t joke with these immortals, okay? Otherwise, once you commit verbal sins, even after you pass away, your master won’t be able to help you.”

Wan Jianfeng nodded, pretending to be well-behaved, "Okay, Master, isn't it enough for me to know? However, with your level of Taoism, you must have become an immortal before I die. Since you will be an immortal by then, can't you help me reincarnate into a good family?"

Chen Tuan smiled and shook his head, and said to Chen Tafa: "Shouzheng, Jianfeng is seriously injured, you should stay with him in Baiyun Pavilion to recover. I have sent your senior brother to Zhang Chao Valley, I think he should have packed up by now, I will go to the cave to sleep now."

"Yes, Master, go ahead!" Chen Tafa said, bowing and sending Chen Tuan away from Baiyunxuan. Wan Jianfeng rolled his eyes and shouted, "Master, you can't go to sleep now, or I'll be finished!"

Chen Tuan paused and looked sideways at Wan Jianfeng, "Jianfeng, what do you mean by that?"

Wan Jianfeng said, "Master, you may not know yet? I accidentally got into a lot of trouble in the past two years. Now many people in the martial arts world want to kill me, but I have important business to go to Tokyo. Those guys are all weird and weird. I am no match for them. If I go to Tokyo alone, I will die on the way!"

Chen Tuan nodded slightly and asked, "Shouzheng, have you ever met those martial arts masters mentioned by Jianfeng? I don't know what sect they are from. Do they think I have traveled to the west on a crane?"

Chen Tafa said, "Master, I did fight with one of them yesterday, but I couldn't tell who his master was. In my humble opinion, that man doesn't seem to be an ordinary martial artist, but more like a general who has fought on the battlefield."

"What?" Chen Tuan felt a sense of surprise that he had not felt in years, and hurriedly said, "Jianfeng, who did you offend? Tell me quickly. Looking at the world today, no matter how extraordinary the heroes are, I'm afraid they have to give me, the old Taoist of Huashan, some face."

Wan Jianfeng said helplessly: "Master, don't you know my temper? Besides being willing to drink, I also like to make a few jokes. How could I offend any master? However, in the past five or six years, I have met a little witch with strong martial arts skills. If she hadn't relied on her martial arts to punish evildoers, how could I have caused so many troubles!"

Chen Tuan's face changed, and he asked curiously, "Jianfeng, who is the little witch you mentioned? Since she is a witch, I think she is probably not from the righteous path. But the Nine Netherworld Ghost Realm has already declined, and many of its evil sects have also collapsed. Where did the evil master come from?"

Wan Jianfeng said, "Master, I said she was a little witch only because she was unruly and willful and too jealous of evil. If you insist on saying she was an evil person, it would not be wrong. After all, her father was Murong Yanzhao, the Qin Guang Wang of the Nine Netherworld, and her grandfather was even more ferocious and tried to annihilate Murong Zhang, the righteous man in the Immortal Water Rock."

Chen Tuan smiled, "So that's how it is. Although Murong Yanzhao was born into an evil family and did some things that were against the will of heaven, it was rare for him to turn back and serve the Song Dynasty bravely. I heard that he died on the battlefield a few years ago. He can be called a hero of the time. You can associate with his daughter, so it's not a disgrace to Huashan." Wan Jianfeng said helplessly, "Master, you are right, but this guy has killed a lot of villains! These villains bully the weak and fear the strong. None of them dared to seek revenge on her, so they blamed everything on the disciple!"

Chen Tuan frowned slightly, obviously unhappy, "Jianfeng, your words are a bit biased, aren't they? I think my martial arts are pretty good, and I have taught you many tricks. How can you say that you are 'soft' and that girl is 'hard'?"

Wan Jianfeng smiled bitterly and said, "Haha, Master, others may not know, but you don't? Of the martial arts you taught me, besides this Drunken Immortal Traveling Body Movement which is pretty good, the strongest one is the Sky Escape Sword Movement! But you insisted that I can use any weapon except the sword. If I don't use the sword, I really can't beat anyone!"

Chen Tuan said slowly: "Jianfeng, when you first became my disciple, you were completely different from now. If I allow you to use the sword, you will become the next me, or even the next Feng Jiutian. I really don't want to see killing again, and I don't want the bloody storm in the martial arts world to be caused by my own disciples, so I don't allow you to use the sword. Now that there are so many evil people who want to take your life, I will..."

Wan Jianfeng said excitedly before Chen Tuan finished speaking: "Master, you allow me to use the sword? Great, this is great. As long as I can use the sword, it will be a piece of cake to kill those evil people. This time I can finally let go and have fun!"

"Hmm?" Chen Tuan glanced at Wan Jianfeng and continued, "Master, I can't let you use the sword! Otherwise, once you rely on the infinite mystery of the Tiandun Sword Technique to make trouble, it will only cause more trouble!"

Wan Jianfeng's excited expression suddenly faded, and he complained, "Master, you are too unfair! Why can Senior Brother Chen, Senior Brother Zhang, Senior Brother Wei, and Senior Brother Lian use swords, and they are all famous swords in the martial arts world, but I can't? After all, I am the young master of Yinfeng Villa. If I can't use a sword for the rest of my life, all the swords in my family will be wasted!"

Chen Tuan shook his head and asked, "Jianfeng, you only see what others have, but forget what you have? You are right, all of your brothers can fly swords, but which one of them has learned the Tiandun sword technique from me like you? When you saw me practicing this sword, you had to learn it. At that time, I gave you the opportunity to choose, and you said that you would rather never use a sword in your life than learn this sword technique. Have you forgotten it?"

Wan Jianfeng let out a long sigh, "Oh, I really regret it! If there is any regret medicine in the world, I would steal or rob it to get it all to make up for this huge mistake! Unfortunately, there is no one to buy it, so I can only let the Chaos Cult, the old monkey, the iron spirit, and the big green dragon baring their fangs and claws to wreak havoc on the world!"

Chen Tuan was startled and asked, "Jianfeng, could it be that among those who are to be killed, there are also followers of the Chaos Cult? This cult was originally under the command of the Nine Netherworlds, and it is one of the few cults that did not collapse with it, but instead became increasingly prosperous. Among them, the leader Sima Wuming is even more shrewd and cunning, with amazing martial arts, and his heart is not inferior to the former Hades Lord Wei Mingye. But this person is keen on spreading evil words to confuse the people, and bewitching those ignorant people to join the cult, so as to expand his momentum and defraud money. He rarely stirs up trouble in the martial arts world and becomes an enemy of the righteous path in the Central Plains. How could he kill you?"

Wan Jianfeng hurriedly said, "Master! Not only does that old blind man want to harm me, but even his three weird, fierce and cold-blooded chief priests want to harm me! They also claim that their martial arts are invincible in the world. Even if the old bull nose of Huashan comes down from the mountain, it will be difficult for him to survive for three days!"

Chen Tuan smiled slightly, "Jianfeng, you said that, didn't you? Otherwise, with your reputation as an old Taoist, even if Sima Wuming is arrogant, he wouldn't be so arrogant as to try to fight me for three rounds."

Wan Jianfeng's lies were exposed by Chen Tuan. He felt a little embarrassed and started to act like a spoiled child. "Master, you should not look at the monk's face but the Buddha's. You should not look at the fish's feelings but the water's feelings. You should accompany your disciple to Tokyo no matter what! You keep saying that you are in accordance with the Way of Heaven, but if you watch your disciple being killed by a villain, that would be the most unrighteous thing!"

Chen Tuan looked at Chen Tafa helplessly, "Shouzheng, since your junior brother insists on finding someone to escort him to Tokyo, why don't you go on this trip instead?"

“This…” Chen Tafa was a little embarrassed, and after a while he said, “Master, with my martial arts, if I fight Sima Wuming or Yuan Kuangsheng alone, I’m sure I still have a chance of winning, but if they rush over, I’m afraid I won’t be able to handle it.”

Chen Tuan pondered and said, "Sima Wuming has long been the leader of a sect, but he is still willing to be driven by others. The person behind the scenes must be very powerful. I am afraid that you cannot deal with it alone. Alas, the martial arts world has been peaceful for less than 20 years, and unexpectedly, a bigger storm is about to be set off!"

Chen Tafa bowed his head and said, "Master, you are old and should not be busy for the martial arts world or the world anymore. But I am incompetent and Junior Brother Hongmeng is not on the mountain. I can only beg you to think of the people and come down the mountain in person."

Chen Tuan did not rush to answer. He thought for a long time before saying, "Jianfeng, come to Zhang Chao Valley to find me at noon three days later. I will be able to come up with a countermeasure by then." As he said this, he walked straight out of Baiyunxuan and floated towards the gate of the temple.

Wan Jianfeng saw Chen Tuan leaving, and he was very worried. "Master, you must keep your promise in three days and come up with a good idea! Otherwise, everything will be over!" (End of this chapter)
