Chapter 608 – Scholars Killing
A blacksmith’s master who set uea shop on the side of the road and a blacksmith’s apprentice who bought durian pastries across the road. An Zheng felt that these two must have a story, especially when he knew that the two of them went to the Great Western Ming Fa Si.
After An Zheng finished drinking his tea, he left the money for the tea on the table. As he got up to leave, he suddenly stopped and turned to look at the owner of the tea shop and asked: “When you went to the Great Western Ming Fa Si, did the interviewer ask you anything? You didn’t pass. ”
The boss forced a smile. “Ask me what I’ve done before to punish evil and promote good.”
“What’s your answer?”
“I haven’t stepped out of my house in thirty years of blacksmithing, so I’ve never done anything.”
An Zheng nodded: “Perhaps it’s a fortunate thing that you didn’t go to Ming Fa Si.”
The boss was silent for a moment before saying: “Perhaps, if Ming Fa Si had let me stay, I probably wouldn’t have stayed here to enjoy life.”
He stood up as well and prepared to clear up the stall.
An Zheng asked curiously: “You only received me, a customer, and you’re just going to pack up like that?”
The owner kept the money An Zheng left on the table: “Today’s money is enough for my meal, so I no longer pursue it.”
He put away the table and the tea set, leaving only a chaise longue behind. He was waving a fan as he lay on the chair and looked at the gate of Atmospheric Villa. No one knew what he was thinking about. Perhaps many people would look down on this kind of man, and without any motivation, he would stop doing business once he earned enough money to eat. There would also be people who would praise this lifestyle and call it having no desires.
However, An Zheng had a nagging feeling that this tea shop owner had set up shop here for seven years straight, there must be some unknown story behind this.
Seeing An Zheng walking toward the main entrance of the Atmospheric Villa, the tea shop owner couldn’t help but call out to him from behind, “If you want to pay a visit, you should go through the back door. I have told you before that in the seven years that has passed, I have never seen the main entrance of that villa open for anyone. ”
An Zheng turned around and laughed: “Perhaps, you really should set up a stall somewhere else tomorrow.”
An Zheng walked to the front gate of the villa and the four guards standing at the entrance glanced at An Zheng. One of the guards lazily said to An Zheng: “If there’s a visitor, please go to the back door of the Villa and register before entering my Villa Master’s permission.”
He spoke in a loud voice, and though he was lazy, he was full of energy. The tea shop owner across the road had also heard everything clearly, so he shook his head helplessly. Even though this Yao Qingzhi is born in poverty, he is the most arrogant of them all. He never allows anyone to mention his origins, and that is his greatest taboo.
It was precisely because of his lowly background that Yao Qingzhi feared that others would look down on him the most. It was also because of this that Yao Qingzhi was used to putting on a haughty attitude, and the main entrance of the Villa didn’t open for anyone.
This was not a big city. Although the location was special, because it was a mountain city, it didn’t develop as quickly alain city. However, there were a lot of tourists. This place was not any important military ground. Even the number of garrison troops was pitifully small. Therefore, to the entire Da Xi Empire, the City Lord of the Xiu Shui City could not be considered a big shot. His influence was truly inferior to a tyrant like Yao Qingzhi.
Therefore, even if the city lord of Xiushui City were to arrive here, he would not be able to get access to the main gate.
However, the owner of the tea shop suddenly sat up straight with a look of disbelief on his face. Because he saw An Zheng whispering in front of the guard, and the guard immediately ran in. A moment later, the main gate of the Atmospheric Villa opened. Not only that, Yao Qingzhi, who was dressed in silk clothes, actually came out personally.
In the durian snack shop across the road, a baby-faced man stuck his head out and threw a bag into the arms of the tea shop owner. He then asked, “What’s the situation?”
The owner of the tea stand opened the bag and took a look. His favorite thing to do was to burn the smoked meat. He took a bite out of the bag and savored the smell, “There’s going to be a good show to see …” Do you know who that young man who just entered through the door was? ”
“How would I know?”
“He just said to the guy guarding the door, I’ll trouble you to go in and tell Yao Qingzhi that Fang Zheng’s disciple is here.”
Fang Zheng’s disciple!
The disciple was stunned for a while and then became excited, “Then, isn’t there a good show?!”
The boss was slightly angry. “What kind of show is this?” I’ve been here for seven years and I haven’t had a chance to find any evidence. When I first wanted to enter the Ming Fa Si, the interviewer asked me what I had done, and I said that I had not. That’s why he’s looking down on me, and that’s why I came to Xiushui City. I know Ming Fa Si has been wanting to investigate Yao Qingzhi for so many years but they have no evidence. If I do that, Yao Qingzhi will be able to be proud in front of him. ”
His disciple said: “Whaity, Yao Qingzhi still hasn’t fallen, Ming Fa Si has already fallen.”
The disciple looked at his Master, “Master, how about we go back to the Green Mountain to forge iron.”
Master said: “There is such an amazing fate in this world, guess that disciple Fang Zheng just reported himself to me about a fake sect, who do you think it is? Ha ha-ha ha … He said that he’s from the Dian Cang Sect. ”
His disciple was stunned for a moment before laughing out loud, “Let’s point at the Blue Mountain... Whaity. ”
As he laughed, he cried.
His Master stood up and threw the dirty apron that was on her body aside, “I’ve been forging at Dian Cang Mountain for thirty years and forged a sword. After thinking for a while, I still haven’t been able to think of a name that is worthy of this divine sword. This sword should’ve been called Dian Cang. ”
He returned to the tea stand and retrieved a long wooden box. “Kneel!”
His disciple’s face was covered in tears. After a moment of hesitation, he kneeled down.
My Master said, “Although I am exhausted, I have not been able to pass on my legacy for hundreds of years. As the twelfth generation leader of the Dian Cang Sect, I have never made Dian Cang shine, and I have failed my teachers. Thus, from today onwards, I will remove myself from my position as the Blue Sect’s Sect Leader. From now on, you are the Sect Leader of the Dian Cang Sect. “This is the Azure God Sword, I will pass it to you. I hope that you can return to the Green Mountain and let the three words’ Green Mountain Sect ‘shine in the martial arts world.”
The disciple received the long sword sheath with both hands. “Master... “What about you?”
His Master glanced at Atmospheric Villa. “My dream is to kill demons and get rid of demons, and help promote justice. But my temper is weak, and I prefer to be at ease, so in the end I did not take that step forward. In my entire life, the person I admire the most is the head of the Ming Fa Si, Fang Zheng. Today, Fang Zheng’s disciple arrived at the Atmospheric Villa, which also proved my guess... Yao Qingzhi was one of the killers who killed Fang Zheng. I will enter that mountain gate today and come out. I will help you forge iron and teach your disciples. If you can’t come out, you can add a seat for me on the ranking list of the Sect Leaders of all the generations of the Dian Cang Mountains. ”
Taking a deep breath, he strode towards the Manor.
The disciple held the sword case in both hands, knelt on the ground, and kowtowed three times towards his master’s back. When he straightened up, blood was already on his forehead.
Within the hall of the Atmospheric Villa.
Yao Qingzhi had a dignified look on his face with long, gray hair, but when he looked at An Zheng, his eyes flickered. He waved his hand to let everyone in the room leave, leaving only him and An Zheng.
“Young man, are you really Fang Zheng’s disciple?”
An Zheng answered: “He was already about to die when he saw me, so he did not fulfill his duty as a master. I feel more that I am his successor, not his disciple. But mine was given by him in the end, so he’s my master. ”
“If that’s the case, then why did you arrive nearly ten years late?”
“I’m afraid I won’t be able to kill you, so I cultivated for ten years.”
Yao Qingzhi was slightly startled, then laughed: “Young man, if you line up to kill me in this world, you can go from the main entrance of the guest hall to the bottom of Xiushui City. I know that Fang Zheng iroud and cold person, but I never thought that his disciple would have the same temper. The reason I opened the front door and let you in is not because of your respect, but because of your master who has been dead for almost ten years. ”
An Zheng replied with a smile, “Even if there were a lot of people who queued up to kill you, I would still be at the top of the line.”
Yao Qingzhi acknowledged: “I don’t like to beat around the bush, and neither do I like to put on airs. As long as it’s about hatred, I won’t deny any of those who came to take revenge on me. Do you know why? ”
An Zheng said: “Because you know that if those people can’t kill you, you can. So there is no difference between admitting it and not admitting it. ”
Yao Qingzhi nodded his head, “You are right, there are many rumors regarding me in the martial arts world, and most of them are true. Therefore, you should also understand how difficult it is for our Atmospheric Villa to have such a day. Thus, although I often feel guilty for having done something wrong, in the end, no one is allowed to rashly destroy my current status. Young man, I’ve said it before. Opening the front door to bring you in, it’s your respected master. ”
“Even if I had participated in killing him that day, I would still have respected him. So today I’m going to give you a chance to take revenge, but … “Don’t you think it’s a bit presumptuous of you to come alone?”
An Zheng: “You are the only one in my eyes.”
Yao Qingzhi put down the teacup in his hand. “But I am not the only one from my Atmospheric Villa. I said that I would give you a chance for revenge, but I didn’t say that I would personally spar with you. My Atmospheric Villa has been run by experts for many years. Those who wish to challenge me in these years must first pass through those disciples of mine outside. Since you’re here, I guess you have nothing to fear. But you don’t know my Atmospheric Villa, nor do you know me, Yao Qingzhi. ”
An Zheng stood up, and looked at the hundreds of disciples who had lined up outside.
“I havule for killing people.”
An Zheng said: “Start from the one that deserves to die.”
Yao Qingzhi frowned slightly: “That will depend on whether you have the ability or not.”
He raised his hands and clapped. The disciple outside let out a loud cry. Three hundred and sixty disciples were arrayed in sword formations, exuding a murderous aura.
Yao Qingzhi smiled and said: “I am afraid of death, that’s why I put my life on the line to become strong. I’ve done a lot of things that happen in the night after I’ve had nightmares, so I’m more afraid that someone might want to take revenge on me. People like me, who are afraid of death, always prepare more than others. Open the door, invite the guests in, and after the door closes, the master will have the final say. ”
“Otherwise, do you really think that you won’t be distracted when you fight me?”
He squinted at An Zheng with a smile that was not really a smile.
At this moment, sword qi erupted from outside.
A person wearing a green robe walked in with large strides. With his hands behind his back, although he had a haggard and shaggy face, when he raised his head and stuck his chest out, he gave off a strong scholarly vibe.
The scholar killing people was extremely terrifying.
