The road to Jianghu started from the martial arts hall

Fang Xun and Lei Qing drank bowl after bowl of wine, and ate the lamb leg with the sauce.

As the lips and teeth open and close, the rich, dry and spicy flavor spreads on the tongue, stimulating the taste buds and bringing an indescribable comfort and warmth in this cold winter.

This place is close to the Northern Plains, and travelers coming and going from here are not as picky as they are in the Central Plains. They all eat big chunks of meat and drink big bowls of wine just to fill their stomachs.

Fang Xun also ate wildly, and felt that the wine and meat on the grassland had a unique flavor.

He chatted casually with Lei Qing, talking about everything under the sun, and learned from him about his experiences over the years.

In the past, Lei Qing got into trouble wherever he went. Finally, after the incident with Wan Changfeng, he learned his lesson and came to the north to make a living, away from the big whirlpool in the south of the Yangtze River.

At this time, the Golden Horde had been destroyed, and there were many people in the north. Lei Qing had the two profound magic skills obtained by Wan Changfeng, and the seals of the earth veins were broken one after another. He broke through to the Yin God within a year.

As a master of Yin Shen, as long as you are careful not to get yourself into trouble, it is easy to live a comfortable life here.

At first, he went to the deep grasslands to find those tribes to do business with no capital. Later, he saved some capital and successfully broke through to become the Grand Master of Yangshen. He then rented an inn a hundred miles away from the border of Bingzhou.

Originally, this place was deserted and business was slow.

But after the news spread that Lei Qing, the lone Yangshen grandmaster, had settled down, many people came to seek refuge, and many passing merchants and warriors also chose to pass through here to leave.

Some of them are in trouble and want to find a backer to seek protection, while others think that the presence of the Grand Master Yangshen here can intimidate the nearby villains and ensure safety on the road.

Gradually, more and more people gathered here, and it changed from a lonely little inn to the prosperous Leijiaji it is today, which is considered to have some reputation in Bingzhou.

I can’t say that Lei Qing’s life is very exciting, but at least he feels safe and secure.

After a round of drinking, they had eaten three roast lambs. Lei Qing was a little tipsy and looked at Fang Xun curiously and asked.

"I heard that your wife is very powerful now, and people all over the world are waiting to shout long live her. The unification of the Central Plains will probably be soon.

As you are about to ascend the throne, there must be a lot of things going on in the Prince of Yue's Palace. Even if you are free on weekdays, you are not free enough to travel around the North, right?"

Fang Xun smiled, picked up the bowl and clinked glasses with Lei Qing before speaking.

“In fact, it’s not as busy as you think. The preparations for the coronation were made last year. And it’s not me who will ascend the throne, so it doesn’t matter whether I’m in Jiangnan or not.

But this time, I was heading west and north, intending to find Ye Honglei's bad luck. I just happened to pass by here and saw you, so I came to ask for two glasses of wine."

"Ye Honglei is like this"

Lei Qing was stunned for a moment, and then his face was filled with sudden enlightenment. He saw that Daxuan had become the previous dynasty, and a new dynasty with a new atmosphere was about to come.

Of course, Fang Xun could not tolerate a terrorist like Ye Honglei, who would kill people just for looking at them for one more moment, to continue living in this world.

Thinking of this, he started gossiping out of curiosity again: "It's widely rumored that your strength has surpassed Shangguan Wudi. Is that true?"

Fang Xun smiled but didn't give a direct answer: "Who is stronger and who is weaker can only be known after a fight. Let alone Shangguan Wudi, even if I fight with Ye Honglei, I dare not guarantee that I will win."

"Why are you being so modest with me?" Lei Qing shook his head. "With your personality, if you don't have confidence, how could you take the initiative to come to me?"

Fang Xun just smiled without saying anything, picked up the wine bowl and said, "Drink, drink."

Lei Qing also smiled, and stopped asking questions, and finished a bowl with Fang Xun. The two of them drank until they were drunk, from day to night, and until the next morning, before they said goodbye to each other.

Lei Qing continued his ordinary but down-to-earth life, while Fang Xun also continued his journey, heading west.

Fang Xun walked neither fast nor slow, step by step across the grassland, and came to the boundless desert.

Along the way, he comprehended the world and sorted out Zhang Sanfeng's insights.

He also gained a lot from the battle of Luo An.

Not only did he gain new insights after fighting with Master and Wan Pingchuan, two enemies of the same level, but he also possessed Zhang Sanfeng and gained the other party's lifelong insights, and realized a hint of the return to the truth.

The beginning of all things is the Great Way. The Great Way transforms into Wuji, Wuji gives birth to Taiji, Taiji contains Hunyuan, Hunyuan gives birth to One Qi, One Qi divides into Yin and Yang, Yin and Yang transform into Five Elements. Heaven and earth are natural and are created by nature.

This return to the truth from the Wuji and the primordial Qi is to merge heaven and earth, contain all the qi in the world, combine yin and yang, and reproduce the original primordial power of the universe.

Once one has comprehended it to a deep level, it will become an extraordinary supernatural power. Not to mention the limits of gods and demons, even creating the world out of nothingness is no problem at all.

Of course, Fang Xun and Zhang Sanfeng have only grasped the basics now. The creation of the world is too far away from them, and they can only simulate and derive a little bit of the original Hunyuan power of the universe.

This is already amazing for the Zhenwu Realm. Even Fang Xun can use this trace of Hunyuan power as a foundation to break through the bottleneck of the gods and demons' limit!

But he would not break through rashly. He would make sure he was fully prepared before breaking through. This way, he would be able to face the disaster of transformation after the breakthrough more calmly.

During the journey to the west, the sun rose and set again and again, and Fang Xun saw the countless joys and sorrows of all living beings.

And he became more and more ordinary, as if returning to nature.

The sun rises and the moon sets, winter goes and spring comes.

The spring breeze in March blows past, bringing vitality to the Qi Tian Mountains.

Then I saw a temple on a mountain deep in the distance, with the top of the mountain covered with snow.

This temple does not look magnificent, but is simple and unpretentious. On the stone tablet at the foot of the mountain are engraved the three characters "Vajra Temple". This is the Vajra Temple that has been rebuilt several years ago.

On this day, the skinny ascetic monks were working in the fields they had cleared on the mountainside, and Abbot Yuanci was no exception.

Yuanci paused, as if he had noticed something. He suddenly looked up and saw a familiar face. He said, "Master Yuanci, how are you?"

"Donor Fang!" Yuanci immediately stood up and put his hands together, saying, "Amitabha, we meet again after so many years. I want to congratulate Donor Fang for unifying the universe and bringing peace to the world!"

Fang Xun smiled and said, "I also want to congratulate Master Yuanci for breaking through the Zhenwu and enjoying a thousand years of life."

"Compared with Donor Fang, my progress is a bit embarrassing."

"Master, you are too modest," Fang Xun shook his head and sighed, "Master, please lead the way and let me pay my respects to you as a token of consolation."

When Yuanxiang was mentioned, Yuanci's face became heavy and a trace of sadness flashed in his eyes.

"Mr. Fang, you are so kind. Please follow me." (End of this chapter)
