No taboos in the world

Chapter 218: Gifted, suddenly disappeared

After leaving Yao Yue's room, Hong Chen wiped his mouth.

Yi Lin, standing in the yard, blinked, tilted her head, and then her pretty face turned red.

"Something?" Hong Chen remained calm.

Yi Lin nodded and took out a letter from her arms.

"Sir, Master replied that they were almost at Tianshan, and that she had not received any news of my abduction. Although she scolded me, I know that she cared about me very much."

"Well, sensible, what else?"

Yi Lin looked distressed: "Master said that I should either go back to Hengshan now, or wait here for the brothers from Hengshan Sect and go to Tianshan with them to join Master."

Hong Chen raised his eyebrows: "Is the Hengshan Sect also interested in the evil dragon treasure?"

"I wasn't interested at first, but the Songshan Sect also went there. Master said that the Songshan Sect has been suppressing the other sects in the Five Mountains. Our Hengshan Sect is the weakest, so we really have to compete at this time, even though even Master himself said that our Hengshan Sect basically has no hope."

"That makes sense. What's your decision?"

"I don't know." Yi Lin shook her head, looking confused: "I miss Master very much, but I am afraid of causing trouble to Master. Young Master knows that my martial arts are very poor..." As she said this, she slowly lowered her head.

Hong Chen couldn't help but move his fingers.

Who understands, Yilin’s little bald head is really attractive.

But this is different from having hair, so Hong Chen is embarrassed to start directly.

"I'm going to Tianshan. If you want to go, you can come with me."

"Hey, really?"

Yi Lin immediately looked up, and the sparkling light in her eyes was like the brightest star in the night sky.

Hong Chen smiled and nodded.

He was also very interested in the evil dragon's treasure, but his interest was not in what was in the treasure itself, but who had fabricated this treasure in his name, and what was the other party's calculation in doing so?
There is never a shortage of conspirators in the world.

Hong Chen couldn't directly infer who did it, he just had a vague feeling.

Yi Lin said happily: "Then I can go with you! Although the Hengshan Sect has a good relationship with our sect, I am not very familiar with them."

"Then go pack your things, we'll leave early tomorrow morning."

"Uh-huh!"

Yi Lin ran back to the room, and Hong Chen turned around and pushed the door open again.

A pillow flew towards me.

Hong Chen took it and asked, "Do you want to go to Tianshan?"

"Don't go!"

"That's the evil dragon's treasure. Are you really not interested?"

"Hmph, I have also heard about the evil dragon in Yihua Palace, but Song is weak and everyone knows it. How strong can Song's martial arts be? The martial arts legends of Song are probably exaggerated. In my opinion, the evil dragon's martial arts are at most on par with mine. Why should I look for his treasure?"

Hong Chen: Look, the weak Song has dragged down the entire martial arts world.

"You are prejudiced. If Xie Long is similar to you, then why would those people in Song State who are similar to you in martial arts also go to Tianshan?"

"You mean the Five Wonders of Song?"

"Well, you also heard two days ago that Ouyang Feng, one of the Five Great Masters of Song State, has arrived."

"You think I'm about the same as an old poisoner?"

"I mean martial arts."

"I have Mingyu Gong, which is enough!"

"You... forget it. Just practice meditation and break through slowly. I'll have someone bring you food every day."

Turning around, he went back to the study.

Jiang Yuyan opened her eyes when she heard the door open.

"I'm going to Tianshan, are you coming?"

Jiang Yuyan glanced outside the door and smiled knowingly: "I won't go there. I'd better practice Bei Ming Divine Art first. I wish you and Yi Lin a safe journey."

"Why do I feel like... you are implying something to me?"

"How dare I? But Yilin is innocent and lovely, you still need to pity her, sir."

"Huh, I don't understand what you're saying!"

Arriving at the inn, Hong Chen went to the window on the second floor and sat there for most of the day.

The next day.

At dawn, a carriage pulled by two horses drove out of Qixia Town.

Yi Lin sat beside the car, opened the curtains, and looked out the window with a smile on her face, as if she was curious about everything.

It was not her first time to go down the mountain, but it was her first time to wander around the world away from her master, so she was naturally full of curiosity.

Hong Chen sat on the shaft of the cart, holding a green gourd filled with drunken red dust in his arms, dozing off as he hurried on.

According to those people in the martial arts world, the evil dragon's treasure will not be opened for another half a month, so there is enough time.

Yi Lin looked at it for a long time, her interest not diminishing, but she still consciously started her own homework at about the same time.

Hong Chen was familiar with the sounds of wooden fish and chanting.

Just listening to Yi Lin's voice, it seemed completely different from when she was in Shaolin.

Perhaps the gangsters who had passed by before had already cleared out the bandits along the way, so the day went by without incident.

dusk.

After unloading the carriage, Hong Chen led the two horses to a tree, let out the ropes, and let them graze the surrounding grass.

Yilin lit a fire, opened her bag, took out some dry food and started roasting it.

She sat curled up on the tree trunk, her body small, her expression obedient, her eyes revealing a sincere seriousness.

Absurdly pure.

After a while, Hong Chen was holding a skinned and cleaned wild rabbit in one hand and a small basket woven with vines in the other.

Seeing this, Yi Lin didn't say much, but smiled brightly at Hong Chen, then divided the baked steamed buns and vegetable cakes into two portions, one in front of herself and the other handed to Hong Chen.

Hong Chen took it and said curiously: "I thought you would advise me not to kill."

Yi Lin ate the vegetable cake and said with a puffy mouth, "Not killing is a Buddhist precept. Young Master is not a Buddhist, so it is normal for him to eat meat. Although I have never eaten meat, I have smelled the smell of meat. It is very fragrant and should be delicious."

Hong Chen blinked in surprise. He didn't expect Yi Lin to say that.

Yi Lin looked at his expression and smiled again: "Am I right?"

"That's right. But... I always feel that it's a bit strange for you to say that." "I know. I said this to my master before, and she was also shocked. Later she told me that I was right, but it's best not to tell these words to others, because others may misunderstand me." Yi Lin looked at Hong Chen, her words honest and her eyes straightforward.

Hong Chen nodded, without asking her why she told him this.

Yi Lin went on, "I think thinking is one thing, and doing is another. Thinking is not a sin. The first step in spiritual practice is to restrain yourself from doing it, and the second step is to stop yourself from thinking about it. But my spiritual practice is not deep now, I can only stop myself from doing it, it is difficult not to think about it." At this point, she sighed silently.

Hong Chen looked at her profile quietly, with only admiration in his eyes and no distracting thoughts in his mind.

She is really smart and talented.

As for the concept of wisdom, Hong Chen disagrees.

Such a person, if placed in Buddhism, would be a person with deep wisdom and a connection with Buddha; if placed in Taoism, would be a genius in enlightenment and favored by the ancestors. Even if she stayed in the mortal world, if she had read books, she could become a talented woman; if she had not read books, she would still be a famous woman in the surrounding area.

The Hengshan School's martial arts skills are mediocre, and Yilin has to study and research Buddhist philosophy on a daily basis, so it is difficult for her to improve her martial arts.

After thinking about it, Hong Chen turned around and opened the vine basket.

"Bring the pot."

Yilin turned her head and said in surprise: "Wow, so many mushrooms!"

"Well, it's enough to just eat the vegetable cakes. It's better to drink soup than water."

After a while, mushroom soup was stewing on the fire and a roasted rabbit was on the side.

Yilin wrinkled her nose: "It smells really good!"

"Hahaha, then does this count as tempting you to break your vow?"

Yi Lin rolled her eyes and said, "You can also say it's a test of my concentration and practice!"

"Okay, okay, I give up! I'm in Shaolin..." Hong Chen paused suddenly.

Yi Lin became interested and asked, "Master, have you ever practiced in Shaolin?"

Hong Chen laughed and said with emotion: "Yes, in fact, I also have a Dharma name, called Xuan Chen."

Yi Lin was even more surprised: "Then I will call you Brother Xuanchen from now on?"

"can."

In terms of seniority, Yi Lin really gave herself a super high level of seniority.

"Brother Xuanchen..." Yi Lin called out, and she found it much easier to say. Her eyes looked more friendly. "When did you start practicing in Shaolin?"

"It's been a long time. I think I was about seven years old. At that time..."

The two chatted and ate, and before they knew it, it was night with a sky full of stars and the sound of insects in the wilderness.

The carriage frame was propped up, and the spacious compartment became a natural bed. However, men and women were different, so they could not squeeze into one bed.

After some pushing and shoving, Yi Lin slept in the carriage and Hong Chen rested by the fire.

With three thousand years of inner energy protecting his body, it would be strange if he felt cold.

The next morning, we continued our journey.

Hong Chen taught the Bei Ming Divine Art to Yi Lin.

"I give you this technique because you call me Senior Brother, but I also have a request. You cannot pass it on to others. If anyone asks, you must tell the truth. There is no need to cover up for me. Remember?"

"This... this is too precious." Yi Lin still couldn't accept it.

Hong Chen smiled and said, "Just think of it as an adventure you encountered while going down the mountain this time. After all, with your talent and character, it would be a waste to only practice Hengshan Sect's martial arts. I am also happy to see the prey. Besides, if you can master it, you can protect Hengshan Sect, the weakest of the Five Mountains, and your master and fellow sisters in the future."

More importantly, you can protect yourself.

At this moment, Hong Chen also roughly understood the psychological activities of the old predecessors in those stories who gave away martial arts without asking for anything in return. They really felt sorry for the geniuses.

Yi Lin was finally convinced, because it was the original version and not the weakened version adapted by Hong Chen, so Hong Chen helped her to completely dissipate the limited internal energy in her body.

After a short while, Yi Lin got the hang of it, and in the next few days she made rapid progress.

After leaving the Ming Dynasty, they crossed the empty and uninhabited grassland, passed the border between the Jin and Song dynasties, and finally arrived at the main range of the Tianshan Mountains.

This place was once incorporated into the territory of a small country in the Western Regions, and then annexed by Western Xia. After the Yuan Dynasty destroyed Western Xia, this place became the territory of the Yuan Dynasty.

However, rebellions broke out everywhere in the Yuan Dynasty at that time, and the imperial court basically lost control of this place, so the most active force here at present is the Ming Cult, whose headquarters is closest to this place!
Guangmingding is not far from Tianshan Mountain. It can be seen that it was not easy for the six major sects of the Yuan Dynasty to besiege Guangmingding. It took a lot of time just to travel.

Having said that, after the sudden death of Ming Cult leader Yang Dingtian, the once powerful Ming Cult was torn apart.

I don’t know if Zhang Wuji has returned from the Ice and Fire Island.

Anyway, when Hong Chen listened to the people in the martial arts world discussing the Ming Cult, he felt his head swollen and itchy, especially when he thought that he came from the Ming Dynasty.

In such a super-large complex world, learning history is in vain.

Once we entered the mountain roads, we encountered even fewer people.

It's dusk again.

As usual, Hong Chen tied up his horse and went into the mountains to hunt, but today he didn't catch any hares, but he did hunt a deer.

However, when he returned with the fawn, wild vegetables and mushrooms, Yi Lin was nowhere to be found in the camp.

The cooking pot was turned upside down on the fire, the vegetable cake next to it was trampled into pieces, and the Tianwen Sword was nowhere to be seen, leaving only the scabbard.

"Ah……"

When Hong Chen put down his things and tore off his outer robe, it was as if he had instantly copied a new piece of clothing.

The crimson clothes turned into dense particles as they flew, and in a blink of an eye formed a fighter plane that was completely out of touch with the times.

boom! !

The industrial miracle that spanned a thousand years made a deafening roar in the main range of Tianshan Mountain, startling the martial artists who were resting or traveling in various parts of the mountain range and making them look up in surprise.

In a dense forest.

"Old Huang, is there thunder?"

"It seems so... Prince, look, what is that?"

"Huh? What? Where's the thing?"

“It flew over!”

"Tsk, I think you are old and your eyesight is blurry."

"No, I really saw something flying by. It was huge! Like an iron bird! But its wings didn't move, so it couldn't be a bird!"

"You drank behind my back again, and you got drunk!"

"Ah? I didn't!"

"You still dare to quibble? You won't have any money for next month's drinks!"
