Chapter 393: Wordless Stone Tablet
When Malu first saw that there were eight or nine people, he was indeed a little worried.

But after fighting with the man in front of me, there was nothing to worry about anymore.

After he killed Yan Wuji, he picked up the latter's self-defense martial arts, the Demon-Subduing Vajra Gong.

Before this, Malu had seen Yan Wuji fighting against many enemies alone, and he hardly lost any blood thanks to this body-protecting martial art.

Moreover, the opponents he faced at that time were much stronger than the group of robbers in front of him.

So Malu ignored the threat from the other side and directly threw out another "Strong as the Wind" card, instantly killing the robber with a broadsword in front of him.

When a game of cards was over, Malu kept running and rushed towards other robbers.

He bent down, picked up a handful of stones from his feet and threw them out.

Because he didn't have any hidden weapon skills, Malu's throwing was not very accurate, but fortunately there were enough targets and the stones still hit the two robbers.

Perhaps because they had seen the strength of the millipedes, the remaining bandits were so frightened that no one stayed to rescue their companions, and they just dispersed.

The two unlucky guys who were hit by the stone were immediately sucked into the card game.

However, their martial arts level was not much different from the man who was killed by Malu before, and the two of them could only last five rounds against Malu.

Just as they were about to follow in the footsteps of their companions, one of them suddenly howled like a ghost.

"Wait, you can't kill us, we are working for Tianlongmen!"

Unfortunately, he obviously threatened the wrong person. Malu was completely clueless about the martial arts sects in this dimension.

I only heard Gu Qingyi mention some names, all of which were powerful forces in the martial arts world, and the name of Tianlongmen was not among them.

Besides, he wouldn't care even if there were millipedes. He had finally gotten the chance to be chivalrous and satisfy his desire to be a hero, so how could he give up halfway so easily?

Not to mention that he had already killed one of these robbers, so there was no point in stopping now.

The battle was soon declared over, and Millipede went up to touch it a few times as a courtesy, as per custom.

As expected, nothing good came out.

The three people who died at his hands were just minions with low martial arts skills, and they could only bully farmers who were weaker than them.

The cards that dropped after death were all low-end stuff that the millipedes looked down upon, and the martial arts they practiced were all varied, so there was no possibility of merging and upgrading card packs with the same name.

Besides, all the silver and money they had on them totaled less than two taels.

Instead, the rescued villagers gave Malu another 5 taels of silver, as well as some roast chicken, vegetables and fruits as gifts of thanks, which were all given to Malu by the old man who looked like the village chief.

The old man called Malu his benefactor and wanted to host a banquet to entertain him again, but Malu politely declined.

Malu was in a hurry to go to Yuchang County to meet Gu Qingyi. After retrieving the pack horse that he had previously fostered at a farmer's home, he left the small village.

He didn't ride very fast, mainly because the local infrastructure was not very good. It was all mountain paths. He walked for more than thirty miles before he saw the official road.

Moreover, the official road was bumpy and uneven, and Malu's butt was almost broken by the bumps on the horse's back.

Fortunately, they met a caravan later. Malu spent one or two taels of silver and got on the caravan's carriage.

As for the pack horse, it was led by the caravan's servants behind.

There are not only soft couches on the bus to protect your buttocks, but also candied fruit snacks.

While eating the candied fruit, Malu looked out the window at the scenery along the way and felt that the money he spent was well worth it.

The official road was very busy. In addition to the caravans doing business and the pedestrians on the road, there were also many martial artists carrying weapons. Ma Lu remembered what Gu Qingyi said, saying that the Beggars' Sect was preparing to change its leader and invited many fellow martial artists to come and watch the ceremony, so the number of martial artists in Qingzhou has increased dramatically recently.

But now a week has passed, and the leaders of the Beggars' Sect should have been replaced, so there is probably nothing exciting to watch.

Malu is not interested in who will be the new leader of the Beggars' Sect. He cares more about the old leader.

In a martial arts sect like this, the boss generally will not abdicate unless he makes any principled mistakes.

In other words, the old leader of the Beggars' Sect is likely dead.

But when it comes to dead people, Malu is not sleepy anymore. What's more, the Beggars' Sect is the largest gang in the world, and the martial arts of the Beggars' Sect leader are naturally not bad.

Even if he is not at the level of Qiao Feng, he is at least a Lu Youjiao, and must be more powerful than Yan Wuji in his prime. If you can get your hands on him, you will not lose anything no matter what you get.

If he's lucky, he might even be able to obtain the Beggars' Sect's unique skills. The more Malu thought about it, the more excited he became.

This time he brought Black Hole with him. As long as he could find the cemetery, he could search it without anyone noticing without digging it up.

It would be even better if all the previous leaders of the Beggars' Sect were buried together. Not only would he be able to learn the secrets, but he might also be able to reach the maximum level in one go and become the best master in the world!

Uh, I just don’t know if those skeletons count.

Malu felt a little regretful that he had not found a grave to try it out when he was in the village before.

However, it’s not too late to try again when we get to Yuchang County, but we have to avoid Gu Qingyi.

Speaking of Gu Qingyi, Malu didn't know how serious her injury was. They had agreed to meet at the South Gate this time, so she shouldn't have forgotten.

Malu was lost in thought when a voice came to his ear, "Young man, are you going to Yuchang County as well?"

Malu looked up and saw that the person who spoke was a middle-aged scholar sitting opposite him.

The carriage had four seats, so there were four passengers on board.

In addition to Malu, the other three were a monk, a Taoist priest, and the scholar.

I don’t know how the leader of the caravan arranged the seats, but he managed to put monks and Taoists in the same car.

The two got into the car perhaps because they disliked each other, one lowered his head to recite scriptures, and the other closed his eyes to rest.

The scholar was reading a book with great concentration. He did not even look up when Ma Lu got on the car. He only spoke after he finished reading and put away the book.

Malu nodded, "That's right."

"When you arrive in Yuchang County, you must go to Wanshan Temple to see the maple leaves there. Many literati and poets have left poems there, many of which are famous. Also, don't forget to go to Zuiyan Tower to taste their fermented cypress duck.

"As for the stone tablet without words, it is even boring, so it is better not to look at it."

"A stone tablet with no words on it, what is that?" Malu asked curiously.

"Eh, you didn't know that?" The middle-aged scholar seemed a little surprised. "I saw you had a long sword on your waist, so you must be a martial artist. How come you haven't heard of the legend of the stone tablet without words?"

"I am new to the martial arts world and know very little about these strange stories in the martial arts world. I wonder what is so special about this stone tablet without words?"

Upon hearing this, the middle-aged scholar looked Malu up and down again, then laughed.

"It's nothing special, just a stone tablet without any words engraved on it. However, there are always people who dream of uncovering the secrets of the stone tablet and learning the unparalleled magical skills of the owner of the stone tablet."
