The Beacon of Kyushu

Fan Xia touched the dragon head at the bottom of the armillary sphere and said with a smile, "Long'er, Long'er, do you think there are so many ridiculous people in the world? You should have heard it just now. Someone actually said that as long as he can beat me with grappling techniques, it can prove that grappling is better than internal strength. Don't you think it's ridiculous?"

"Hmph, as your senior brother, I can't defeat you?" Hong Yunzi raised one hand above his head and made a dragon claw with the other hand, grabbing Fan Xia's right wrist through Chen Ta Fa. Hong Yunzi's finger force broke through the air, making a sharp "hissing" sound, and the power was truly extraordinary. Fan Xia ignored Hong Yunzi's attack on the surface, but secretly he had already transferred his extremely exquisite internal force to his right wrist, waiting for Hong Yunzi's wrist to arrive, and then he would strike back.

Chen Tafa hurriedly said, "Two senior brothers, we are facing a powerful enemy. If you really want to compete, please use those evil ways for my sake and don't fight against each other. Otherwise, once this matter is leaked, Sima Wuming and others will take the opportunity to harm us. Please think twice!"

Upon hearing this, Fan Xia quickly withdrew his internal force, and Hong Yunzi also reluctantly withdrew his hand. They turned their heads away and did not want to look at each other again, but said in unison: "Junior Brother Chen, this is only for you to say. If it were someone else, we would never give him this face!"

"Haha, thank you very much, thank you very much!" Before Chen Tafa could open his mouth, a ruffian's voice came from outside the cave, "Both brothers are rare masters in the world. I must ask you for help every day, if not a thousand, at least eight hundred times, but you are only willing to give me face. I can't afford this!"

Hong Yunzi and Fan Xia looked in the direction of the voice and saw a slovenly young man in a khaki long gown, holding a black and red wooden stick, swaggering in from outside the cave. They were both startled. Chen Tafa hurriedly introduced him, saying, "Two senior brothers, this man is Junior Brother Jianfeng. Although he looks ragged, he is very capable. In recent years, many earth-shaking events in the martial arts world were caused by him."

"Really?" Hong Yunzi looked Wan Jianfeng up and down and asked, "Junior Brother Jianfeng, Junior Brother Chen said that you are so capable. I wonder why you still need the help of us senior brothers to leave Huashan and go to Tokyo?"

Wan Jianfeng smiled and said, "Haha, I haven't read much, but I vaguely remember that Liu Bang described by the historian was just an incompetent and immoral ruffian. If it weren't for the help of the Three Heroes of the Early Han Dynasty, he would have died at the hands of the King of Chu. Isn't the current situation exactly the same as it was then? The difference is that I am luckier than Liu Bang, because not only did God give me three masters who are far superior to the three heroes, but they are also my brothers. Now I can even save my monthly allowance!"

Hong Yunzi nodded with a smile, "Junior Brother Jianfeng, if I am not mistaken, I am afraid that only 40% of your ability lies in your hands, and the remaining 60% lies in your mouth."

Wan Jianfeng shook his head and said, "Brother, you overestimate me! I only have 20% of my skills in my hands, and the remaining 80% is in my mouth. If I also take my drinking skills into account, I'm afraid it would be 190%!"

Fan Xia smiled and said, "Brother Jianfeng, cause and effect are the laws of nature. Don't just flatter us. There are three things you must make clear first."

Wan Jianfeng asked, "What are the three things?" Fan Xia said, "First, why did you come to Huashan? Second, since you are here, why are you in such a hurry to get down the mountain? Third, since you want to get down the mountain, do you have any tricks to get out? If you can tell us the time, we will do as you say. Otherwise, I am afraid we will have to discuss it for another three days and three nights. If you have the patience to wait, we don't mind spending more time."

Wan Jianfeng said, "In the past two or three years, I have often been hanging out with that little witch Murong Yunyao. Her temper is chivalrous if you put it nicely, but meddling in other people's business if you put it bluntly. I am so handsome and smart, how could I not help her when I saw her doing all these evil things? That's why I offended many evil people in the martial arts world. This time, I went to Quyue with her to help, but Li Huan was so treacherous and cunning that he plotted against me. I had no choice but to go from Quyue to Tokyo to find the old emperor. I helped. Who would have thought that every few steps I took, someone would jump out and want to kill me. I was so smart, thinking that all my brothers were masters, and my master was even more powerful, so he must not be afraid of those evil people, so I ran to Huashan to take refuge. But things have to be done, and the mountain has to be lowered. If I delay for another day, I don’t know how many more people will die on the battlefield. How can I not rush to get down the mountain? As for the solution, I believe that the three brothers must be more knowledgeable than me, and they are not so stupid that they can’t even think of a solution, don’t you think?"

Fan Xia's implication was that he wanted to know the whole story and also wanted to test Wan Jianfeng. However, Wan Jianfeng not only kicked the ball back to him, but also added some strength. If he said he had no idea, wouldn't that mean he was a fool?

Hong Yunzi said with emotion, "Brother, why didn't you tell me earlier that you had such a heavy responsibility? Well, don't worry, we brothers will definitely escort you to Tokyo even if it means risking our lives!"

Fan Xia nodded and said, "That's right. Helping the Song Dynasty resist foreign enemies is in accordance with the will of heaven. We should indeed help. Why don't we do as we said before and escort Junior Brother Jianfeng down the mountain together? We must not let evil ways hinder the important affairs of the court!"

Chen Tafa nodded and said, "Okay, I think so too. Let's set off now without delay and try to send Junior Brother Jianfeng out of Huashan before it gets dark."

As they were talking, they stood up suddenly and tried to walk out of the cave. Wan Jianfeng hurriedly said, "Hey, you three, wait a minute! If we go down like this, we will definitely die at the foot of Mount Hua. Sima Wuming and Tiepi Jingxi are so cruel and ruthless, we will definitely not die peacefully!"

Hong Yunzi was puzzled and said, "Brother, if we don't go down the mountain like this, do we have to gather all the disciples, prepare all the magic tools, chant and perform magic while going down the mountain to fight?"

Wan Jianfeng said, "It is not necessary to prepare all the magic weapons, but you'd better bring a few of your favorite disciples with you to help me as your uncle. Also, prepare a set of Taoist robes for me. I might be able to fool you by changing my clothes and save you from more trouble."

The three of them looked at each other, nodded, and left quickly. Wan Jianfeng looked at their receding figures and said with a wicked smile: "Haha, it would be best if you can help me beat back those villains later, otherwise I will be sorry!" (End of this chapter)
