The road to Jianghu started from the martial arts hall

Chapter 390: "The Universal Divine Scroll" - Mu Yuan (End)

Shangguan Hongxin is the former ruler of Yu Kingdom, one of the Nine Realms of Golden Light.

In ancient times, his ancestor Dayi pacified nine tribes that were about to cause rebellion and founded the Yu Kingdom, one of the nine realms of golden light. Later, the legend of Dayi shooting down nine suns was passed down to the world.

Shangguan Hongxin was a man of extraordinary talent, both wisdom and martial arts. He was crowned king at a young age and implemented benevolent policies. His deeds were widely circulated among the people.

Later, with the assistance of Mohist leader Mo Cangli, he put down the civil strife in Yu State and unified the country before he was twenty. He was a benevolent king recorded in "Strange Stories of the Yu Kingdom".

His father and sister also died in the war.

But when peace and prosperity came, Shangguan Hongxin discovered that this seemingly peaceful Yu Kingdom was inhabited by a group of stupid and ignorant people.

They regard decay as purity, fragrance as stench, sin as grace, and kindness as granted. So Shangguan Hongxin began to question whether it was worth it to sacrifice for this group of people?

Although he is the king, his father is dead and his younger sister is also dead. He is left with only power, the throne, and the title of a wise ruler passed down through the ages, and a group of foolish subjects. Is it really worth it for them to pay such a painful price?

When this doubt arose, the more he thought about it, the more pathetic and powerless he felt. He gradually lost his sense of responsibility towards the State of Yu and its people, and eventually abdicated the throne to someone else and left the State of Yu.

While Fang Xun was recalling a series of information from Shangguan Hongxin, he also came to a stone temple that stood solemnly among the mountains.

The stone hall looks plain and simple, but it is solemn and majestic, with three big characters "Shangxian Palace" inscribed on the plaque.

Respecting the virtuous is one of the core ideas of Mohism.

This Shangxian Palace was also once the residence of the great masters of the Mohist school.

But from Fang Xun's perspective, this place was overgrown with weeds and deserted, as if it had been abandoned for a long time.

In the dark palace, only the lamps in the four corners provide a glimmer of light.

In the middle is a throne with nine curtains hanging on the four sides, each representing the position of the leader of the Mohist school and the nine fortune tellers of the Mohist school.

At this moment, a dark red figure was sitting on the armchair.

In the dim light, his face was shrouded in darkness, and he was like a dark abyss, representing pure darkness.

Fang Xun even felt that even if this person stood under the sun, people might think that he was not a person at all, but a ball of darkness that was swallowing up the light around him.

This person is the ruler of Yu State - King Yan Shangguan Hongxin.

Fang Xun looked at Shangguan Hongxin quietly, and Shangguan Hongxin, whose upper body was in shadow, seemed to be looking at him as well.

For a moment, there was silence in Shangxian Palace, and neither of them spoke first.

I don’t know how long it took, maybe a cup of tea, or maybe a quarter of an hour, Fang Xun finally spoke to break the silence.

"I have long heard that King Yan is both extremely intelligent and martial. Please enlighten me!"

"To be frank, what do you want to teach me?"

Shangguan Hongxin's voice was low and hoarse, and it would unconsciously cast a layer of gloom over people's hearts after hearing it.

Fang Xun said calmly: "Of course it's your martial arts!"

call out--

Suddenly, a series of sharp sounds of breaking through the air were heard.

Shangguan Hongxin did not reply, but responded with a crystal stone with an irregular surface and dense black spikes.

This crystal shot out from the darkness. It was the size of a ping-pong ball, but the terrifying power condensed within it was enough to penetrate a ten-foot-thick steel plate!

A crystal stone came with a sharp whistling sound and hit Fang Xun's forehead directly.

In just a moment, the crystal stone cut through the air and rushed into the three-inch range between Fang Xun's eyebrows like lightning, but this was already the limit.

An invisible force spread from Fang Xun's body, suddenly creating ripples in the air like water waves.

Harmony with the world - a heart as calm as still water

The crystal spun wildly and stopped three inches away from Fang Xun's eyebrows, as if there was an invisible barrier preventing it from moving forward, becoming a chasm that it could never cross.

Then the black and white began to spread between heaven and earth with Fang Xun as the center. The crystal stones covered by the spread instantly lost their vitality and fell to the ground.

The black and white that dimmed the sky and earth continued to spread, and in an instant it reached in front of Shangguan Hongxin. At this moment, a voice came from the armchair.

"I lost."

In an instant, Fang Xun's face froze, and the expanding black and white disappeared instantly.

He saw the figure sitting on the armchair become transparent and slowly disappear.

"In terms of martial arts, I am not as good as you. If that's the case, why waste time asking for trouble?"

As if he saw Fang Xun's confusion, Shangguan Hongxin explained indifferently.

After he finished speaking, his figure completely disappeared, and Fang Xun was the only one left in Shangxian Palace, speechless.

Although this guy has outstanding martial arts skills, like Young Master Kaiming, both of them rely on their brains to make a living in the original book.

The mechanism of the martial arts hall is very unfriendly to strategic thinkers like them. Martial arts are only a part of their strength, and strategy and wisdom are their strong points.

Different from Gongzi Kaiming who was willing to fight with Fang Xun, Shangguan Hongxin was too lazy to fight. Maybe in his opinion, this was a pure meaningless waste of time and life.

After a long time, Fang Xun shook his head and his figure disappeared in Shangxian Palace.

In the training ground, Fang Xun closed his eyes and absorbed Shangguan Hongxin's martial arts memories and insights, and immediately found the Yu Kingdom's national defense magic that he wanted - "The Universal God's Scroll".

This skill must be used in conjunction with a special stone produced in the Yu Kingdom - the Broken Cloud Stone.

The Broken Cloud Stone has a unique texture. It is not only indestructible, but also has excellent Qi conductivity. It can absorb attacks and release the absorbed energy, but it also requires extraordinary skills to control it.

After a warrior infuses his true energy, he fires it out like a bullet or even a cannonball, just like flying a sword. Its power is much more terrifying than hidden weapons or bows and crossbows.

Even the large-caliber sniper rifle from Fang Xun's hometown that could shoot a person in the head from 800 meters away was weak compared to it.

In the original novel, Broken Cloud Stone was made into musket bullets, and then used in conjunction with a mechanical musket-type magic weapon - the Splitting Feather Gun.

You can use it to sniper and headshot from miles away, or you can use it for close combat to let the enemy know that "all beings are equal under the spray."

He could even incarnate as Namo Gatlin Bodhisattva and perform 3,600 rotations in one breath.

After practicing the Yu Kingdom's national magic skill "The Universe's Command to the Sky God Scroll", he was able to "transform the divine objects at will", changing the shape of the Broken Cloud Stone into eighteen types of weapons including swords, spears, swords and halberds in battle.

Before, Fang Xun had to change weapons every once in a while as his strength grew. After he reached the Yang Shen realm, he had no weapons that suited him when fighting against others.

It was simply because his strength was growing too fast, and even with all the divine weapons he obtained, they were unable to keep up with his pace and could not withstand the load of fighting in the Yangshen realm.

After obtaining the "Universe Commandment of the Sky God Scroll", Fang Xun felt that he no longer needed to worry about weapons.

Unconsciously, Shangguan Hongxin's martial arts memory and insights were transmitted, and Fang Xun also opened his eyes.

A new name had already appeared on the fifth door of the Martial Arts Hall.

[Emperor Shitian, Yangshen Realm, from "Wind and Cloud", to be defeated]

Fang Xun's face turned strange after seeing this: "It feels like killing this guy will be easier than defeating Young Master Kaiming."

In the world of Fengyun, the First Emperor, in order to achieve immortality, invited sorcerers from all over the world to search for the elixir of life.

Xu Fu came at the invitation, and after studying numerology, he deduced that the phoenix, one of the four auspicious beasts, existed in the world. He eventually succeeded in capturing it through his efforts, and used the phoenix's blood and various rare medicines to make an elixir of immortality.

Afterwards, Xu Fu did not hand it over to the First Emperor, but swallowed it himself and became immortal.

Afterwards, Xu Fu was afraid that Qin Shi Huang would know about this and he would be killed, so he lied that he was going to Japan to look for elixirs. He asked Qin Shi Huang for 3,000 boys and girls, and then escaped without a trace.

During the long years, Xu Fu felt bored and began to join various martial arts sects in different identities.

He spent thousands of years learning the strengths of thousands of martial arts, and created his own unique martial arts, the Sacred Heart Technique. He once became the leader of the martial arts world and also ascended the throne of the Nine Five Supreme Being, competing for supremacy in the world.

After thousands of years, the constant passing of his relatives and friends caused his temperament to become increasingly distorted. He began to stir up disputes in the martial arts world and toy with people through various means.

This is a guy who has lived for a thousand years, just like the monster Great Wisdom. However, in terms of strength, compared with Great Wisdom, he is not even worthy of carrying his shoes.

But great wisdom cannot be explained by common sense.

To be precise, Fang Xun believes that Xu Fu is quite capable, but recalling his performance in the original novel, it is not difficult to see that there are big problems with his state of mind.

Emperor Shitian is a person who lacks self-confidence extremely. It is not difficult to see from the original work that he has never been able to get rid of the shadow of the First Emperor, and he is in constant fear in his heart.

In order to cover up the lack of confidence in his bones, he usually pretends to be domineering and calm. However, once he meets a real strong person, his mentality will collapse, and it will be a question whether he can exert 50% of his 100% strength.

"In general, this is a player who is invincible at bullying weak opponents, but will beat the truly strong ones if he meets them."

After casually commenting on Emperor Shitian, Fang Xun did not continue to push the door, but left the martial arts hall.

He defeated Xiang Yutian, Gongzi Kaiming and Shangguan Hongxin in a short period of time, and the insights he gained were enough for him to digest for a month or two. He was not in a hurry to find trouble with Emperor Shitian now.

In the palace, Old Wu announced publicly that he would follow Fang Xun to Jiangnan. The hasty handover caused chaos in the palace.

Fang Xun was also packing up his belongings. There were still some good things in the mansion in the capital. Yu Jiaolong had ordered someone to copy a copy of the martial arts secrets and take them away when he left. There were also various elixirs, some for improving martial arts, healing, detoxification, and daily fasting. Fang Xun took some of them away.

Unlike Old Wu who was in a hurry, he was leisurely and relaxed.

Soon half an hour passed, and Old Wu came to Fang Xun carrying a large bag.

"My Lord, do you really not need to prepare a good horse?"

Just before the official departure, Old Wu's face was still filled with confusion.

It would be fine if it was just the two of them setting off without any servants or followers, but they didn't even bring a good horse. Could they really have relied on their extraordinary martial arts skills to travel all the way from the capital across thousands of mountains and rivers to reach the south of the Yangtze River?
Fang Xun just smiled and said, "Leave the city first, and you will know in a while."

Old Wu stopped talking and followed Fang Xun obediently.

The two of them walked towards the city gate. Along the way, they could clearly feel many eyes staring at them, both openly and covertly.

Old Wu also noticed it and frowned unconsciously.

"My Lord, I'm afraid this journey won't be smooth sailing."

Fang Xun shook his head: "Don't worry about it. After leaving the capital, if you want to cause trouble to me, you have to learn how to fly first."

Old Wu became confused again when he heard this, but seeing that Fang Xun didn't want to say more, he didn't ask any more questions.

The two of them walked out of the palace and out of the city gate, followed by a series of hidden gazes in the dark.

Just as the two of them left the city gate and a follower wanted to report to his master, suddenly, he saw a giant brown bird flying into the sky from the outskirts of the city.

The giant bird attracted countless people's attention. Upon closer inspection, they found that it was a mechanical bird made of sandalwood, and the two figures on its back were Fang Xun and Lao Wu.

The wind was howling thousands of feet in the sky, and Fang Xun's feet seemed to have taken root, while Old Wu's face was filled with shock.

"My Lord, I never thought you had such a treasure. I heard that the Ministry of Industry once built a mechanical bird. Although it could carry a small mountain and hover in the air, it was said to be able to fly ten thousand miles a day, but it could not solve the problem of endurance. It could only fly for two hours at most before it had to land. Could your wooden bird be the same?"

Fang Xun smiled and said, "Don't worry. Even if this wooden kite flies in the air for 365 days a year, there is no need to worry about the energy problem."

The wooden kite comes from the Feizi Liulu family. It is a flying mechanical wooden bird made with a unique mechanical technique and a treasure - the eternal fire as the energy source.

After Fang Xun defeated Young Master Kaiming, in addition to obtaining the Fire Spear and the Jadi Holy Robe, he also got this wooden kite.

The Master Xuanzang in the prosperous Tang Dynasty in "Golden Light Puppet Show" has a different experience from the person of the same name in the history of Fang Xun's hometown.

It is not like the journey to the West in search of Dharma as described in Journey to the West or in real history.

Instead, he used this wooden kite as a means of transportation and traveled westwards to the demon world, bringing with him many scriptures and teaching in the demon world, passing on the teachings and classics of Buddhism and Mohism.

This mechanical wooden bird is tireless and uses "eternal fire" as its power core, so it can easily climb mountains and cross the seas.

“Haha, seeing that I flew away, someone in the capital must be furious.”

"What? You and Fang Xun flew away?!"

In a garden mansion in the capital.

In the study, a middle-aged man in elegant clothes suddenly became gloomy after receiving the news.

Then a well-dressed man knelt on one knee and bowed his head and said, "Please forgive me, sir. I saw it with my own eyes. Fang Xun and the other two rode away on a giant mechanical bird as soon as they left the capital!"

The elegant middle-aged man looked unhappy, but he did not blame his men.

"I didn't expect Fang Xun to run away like this after performing a trick to scare the monkeys!"

What happened an hour ago was certainly not the end in his eyes. How could he just let it go after suffering such a huge loss?
After the news that Fang Xun was about to leave the capital spread, within just one hour, hundreds of carrier eagles had already flown away from the capital to other places.

A large net has been set up to kill Fang Xun, waiting for him to leave the city and head south, where he will surely be ambushed along the way.

But the elegant middle-aged man felt that he had overestimated Fang Xun's strength as much as possible, but he still didn't expect that Fang Xun could actually fly!
Fang Xun flew away on a wooden kite, without taking away a cloud, but he was killed in the womb by the assassination that was painstakingly planned by countless people.

This damn person flew away. There is no way to determine Fang Xun’s whereabouts, let alone intercept him!

After sending away the men who were following Fang Xun, the elegant man's face became gloomy.

"Damn it! If Fang Xun returns to Jiangnan, it won't be easy to deal with him again!"

"Master Liu, you are truly loyal to Xue Linlang. You can't even protect your own nine clans, yet you are still thinking about how to deal with Fang Xun."

Suddenly, Tie Wuxin's voice suddenly appeared in the room. Liu Xing's face froze, and he realized that Tie Wuxin had been standing in front of him without him knowing when!

The man felt a chill in his heart and had a bad premonition. Tie Wuxin had just blatantly barged into the mansion and came in front of him. He must have come with bad intentions, but he still forced a smile and spoke.

"Master Tie, what is Xue Linlang? What are you talking about?!"

Before Tie Wuxin could say anything, there was a burst of shouting and cursing from outside, which made the man surnamed Liu's face change drastically.

"Master Tie, what on earth is going on? I am also a third-rank minister of the Ministry of War. How dare you come to my house and arrest someone so openly?!"

Not caring about the other party's identity as a Zhenwu expert, the man surnamed Liu's tone also turned cold.

Snapped--

But all he got in response was a slap in the face.

With a bang, Tie Wuxin slapped the man surnamed Liu casually, and he flew away, broke through the wall of the study, and fell directly into the courtyard.

In the courtyard, a group of murderous detectives from the Six Gates were seen arresting anyone they saw. Those who dared to resist were executed on the spot. Their blood dyed the clear water in the pond red.

The man named Liu who was flying in the air vomited large mouthfuls of blood and finally fell heavily to the ground like a broken sack.

The man surnamed Liu turned pale, a slap from a Zhenwu realm master was not so easy to bear.

At this time, there was another clear sound of footsteps coming towards him from far away, and Tie Wuxin walked out of the study slowly. It seemed slow but it was actually fast, but every step stepped on the man's heart.

"Tie Wuxin, don't think that just because you are in the True Martial Realm, you can murder the imperial officials for no reason. If His Majesty knew about this."

The man surnamed Liu had a distorted face and a pale complexion, looking like a ghost.

"Haha. Do you still know that you are an official appointed by the imperial court?
I personally interrogated the devil Zhuang Cheng, and indeed got the names of all his accomplices. However, I never expected that Lord Liu, a famous scholar in the literary world, was also a devil of the Blood Demon Sect.

Liu Tianyang, you don't have to bring up His Majesty. I am here to follow His Majesty's orders to arrest you, the Blood Demon Sect villains!"

"Blood Demonic Dao?! Your Majesty's will?! This is impossible!"

Liu Tianyang looked incredulous. How did he become the leader of the Blood Demon Sect?

'Wait. Is it because bribing Zhuang Cheng is taboo? ! '

Liu Tianyang was not stupid to begin with. When he heard Tie Wuxin say that it was Wan Haoren's order, he immediately figured out what was going on.

Suddenly, there was no trace of blood on his face, only deep despair. This time they were really in trouble!
Although he and Zhuang Cheng have nothing to do with the Blood Demon Sect, Fang Xun said that Zhuang Cheng does.

Tie Wuxin then interrogated Zhuang Cheng again, and got the name of his "accomplice" from him, and he also became the leader of the Blood Demon Sect.

Then the matter was reported to Wan Haoren, who also thought that Fang Xun was right. That meant they could only be the evil leaders of the Blood Demon Sect, and their entire nine clans were exterminated!

After figuring this out, Liu Tianyang's expression became distorted and he spoke hatefully word by word.

“Okay! Okay! Okay!

Fang Xun!

And you are Tie Wuxin!

You are so cruel, not only did you want to wipe out my entire family, but you also wanted to label me a blood demon and make me infamous for eternity!"

Tie Wuxin said calmly: "Is this your last words? Now that you've said it, just go and die obediently, so you can suffer less."

Liu Tianyang's face was grim, and his bloodshot eyes were filled with extreme unwillingness and resentment.

"Just wait. Today you can confuse right and wrong and say that I am the leader of the Blood Demon Sect. But one day you will be condemned by thousands of people and be ruined. I will be waiting for you down there!"

After saying the last word, a trickle of blood flowed from the corner of Liu Tianyang's mouth. He actually died of severed heart meridians.

Tie Wuxin's eyes were calm as he looked at the corpse on the ground and said lightly.

"You'll never see this day."

After saying this, the figure flew away into the air, leaving Liu's residence without caring about the constables who were working under him.

Coincidentally, not only the Minister of War Liu Tianyang, but also seven third-rank officials from the Ministry of Rites, Ministry of Personnel, and Ministry of Revenue were also being raided by the Six Gates.

On a hot summer day, a cold wind seemed to blow through the capital city, blowing directly into the hearts of countless people.

Even if you didn't understand what was going on at first, after seeing the Six Gates being ordered to search the house, you will roughly understand what was going on.

But no matter what, Wan Haoren said that Zhuang Cheng, Liu Tianyang and nine others were the demons of the Blood Demon Sect, and other people in the capital also followed suit.

Then, these nine people can only be the demons of the Blood Demon Sect, there is no objection at all!
