Chapter 112 Ling Beichen
Chapter 112 Ling Beichen
"The man he's talking about is the Crazy Beggar Ling Beichen, right?"
Everyone continued on their journey, and Xu Mao was also brought along by Chu Qing. With Chu Qing's help, he was not left behind.
Bian Cheng walked and said to Chu Qing:
“This person has been a loner since 25 years ago.
"But his martial arts skills should not be underestimated... If you want to kill him, I'm afraid it will be a bit troublesome."
Chu Qing didn't say anything, but lowered his head slightly and thought about this person's life.
At last he sighed and said that this man could be described as a legend.
Twenty-five years ago, Ling Beichen's nickname was not the Crazy Beggar.
People in the martial arts world call him the 'First Sword of Tai Heng', and he is the best master of the Tai Heng Sect among the 'Five Sects'.
It is said that this person is extremely talented. He has mastered the "Tai Heng Seven Swords" to perfection before the age of seven, and won the Tai Heng Sect Competition at the age of thirteen.
At the age of fourteen, he was ordered by his master to go down the mountain and travel the world. In the following seven years, he wielded a sword and traveled all over the world.
At the age of twenty-one, he had mastered the swordsmanship, and at the Sword-wielding Cliff on Mount Taiheng, he left behind a set of [Seven Absolutes, Seven Turns, Seven Injury Swords] that he had learned from the [Seven Swords of Taiheng].
However, this set of sword skills is too difficult. Except for Ling Beichen, no one in Tai Heng Sect has been able to master it over the years.
It was eventually shelved by Taihengmen.
Since that day, he has been known as the 'Number One Sword of Tai Heng'.
His mentor was also the head of Tai Heng Sect at that time, and he hoped to pass on the important mission of Tai Heng Sect.
However, this caused Beichen to be hated by his fellow disciples, who tried to kill him several times.
Because of this, his mentor died, his school was deceived by the villain, and in the end, they almost became enemies.
Fortunately, order was finally restored, and Ling Beichen, with the help of a three-foot-long sword, killed the rebels on Mount Taiheng, thus finally calming down the disturbance.
From then on, the title of "Tai Heng First Sword" was well deserved.
However, despite bearing such a title, he was unwilling to inherit the Tai Heng Sect.
He left the famous sword 'Shangyin' in his hand inside the door and floated away.
However, since then, the people of Tai Heng Sect have been looking for him. After searching for three years, they discovered that Ling Beichen had actually married and had children, abandoned his sword, and retired to the mountains under an assumed name.
If his story ended here, it would be perfect.
After experiencing countless storms in life, he finally returned to peace.
Unfortunately, two years later, a tragedy occurred in Jiejian City at the foot of Taiheng Mountain.
Dozens of people from a wealthy local family were slaughtered overnight, leaving only a young lady missing.
The disciples of Mount Taiheng went down the mountain to investigate and seek justice for those who died tragically.
Unexpectedly, among dozens of disciples who went down the mountain, only one came back.
At that time in the main hall of Taiheng Gate, the disciple was terrified and told everyone...the murderer was Ling Beichen!
As soon as these words were spoken, they caused a huge uproar.
Some people didn't believe it and wanted to look for Ling Beichen's secluded place, while others wanted to find the murderer to identify him. Some even went so far as to curse him on the spot, saying that the disciple was talking nonsense and must have been instructed by a villain.
But soon... news came back from all sides.
People who went to Ling Beichen's retreat found that Ling Beichen was no longer there.
Not only had the yard been deserted for a long time, but there were also two bodies that had been rotting in the room.
After identification, it was confirmed that this was Ling Beichen's wife and children.
And...they both died at the hands of Ling Beichen's [Seven Deaths, Seven Turns, Seven Injuries Sword].
This news once again caused a huge uproar, and rumors began to spread that Beichen had killed his wife and children and was causing trouble in the martial arts world.
I just went to look for Ling Beichen's people, but to no avail.
But from that day on, people would occasionally see a beggar in the world who was crazy and behaved inexplicably.
Someone recognized him as Ling Beichen and wanted to use his sword to eliminate the demon.
But the beggar was just crazy, he didn't lose his martial arts skills.
Those who wanted to wield the sword to eliminate demons all died at the hands of the crazy beggar.
Later, someone discovered that Ling Beichen had a bulge between his eyebrows, which was bright red in color. Therefore, they suspected that he had gone insane while practicing martial arts and damaged his brain.
He accidentally killed his wife and children, and when he came to his senses, he couldn't accept the reality and went completely crazy.
As time passed, the area between his eyebrows grew bigger and bigger, as if horns had grown from his eyebrows, making him more prominent.
The name of the Crazy Beggar Ling Beichen has since completely replaced the number one sword of Taiheng.
The people in the martial arts world have very complicated feelings about this person. When Beichen was young, he traveled around the martial arts world and got to know many people, and had many favors with them.
When I think of the past, I always feel sorry for it.
But after Ling Beichen went crazy, for some unknown reason, whenever he met a kind-hearted person, he would take him away.
On the fifteenth day of the full moon, the pigs are gutted and their blood is drained for drinking.
Over the past 25 years, countless people have died at the hands of this man.
This action completely aroused the wrath of the martial arts world, and people wanted to kill him...but his whereabouts were erratic and extremely difficult to find.
He would kill people and drink blood on the fifteenth day of every month, but not every month.
Therefore, it is difficult to become a rule.
The group chased for several years, but finally gave up completely.
Although the remaining people still refused to give up, they would not be able to defeat Ling Beichen even if they found him.
On the contrary, it is possible that he was beaten to death...
In this way, until today, Ling Beichen is still alive in this world and has become one of the few demons in Nanling.
Chu Qing came back to his senses after being gently patted on the shoulder by Bian Cheng.
"This mess is muddy, do you really want to take care of it?"
Bian Cheng looked at Xu Mao again.
Chu Qing thought about it carefully and said:
"He...should have died long ago."
He has been wreaking havoc on the underworld for more than twenty years, and his hands are stained with blood.
Chu Qing would kill such a person even if he didn't meet Xu Mao.
And before killing him, why not save one more person from his hands?
Bian Cheng looked at Chu Qing deeply, and finally nodded:
"it is good."
Hua Jinnian asked curiously:
"Third Young Master, can you help me kill someone?"
Chu Qing was stunned, his eyes fell on Hua Jinnian:
"You have enemies too?"
"Alas, who among those who live in the underworld doesn't have enemies?"
Hua Jinnian said helplessly:
"I also have someone I must kill no matter what."
"who?"
"Ghost Emperor Modo's wife..."
"Just shut up."
Bian Cheng's face turned dark and he stretched out his hand to push Hua Jinnian aside.
It is hard to say whether the Ghost Emperor Modo has a wife... After all, the Ghost Emperor is not a normal person no matter how you look at it. Who would be willing to live with such a half-human, half-ghost guy?
Besides, even if he has a wife.
To assassinate the wives of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors? This is much more exciting than assassinating the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors.
Hua Jinnian is really bold in saying this.
Chu Qing was also helpless:
"This...I probably can't kill him now."
"alright."
Hua Jinnian probably realized that he was being a bit unreasonable.
Then he said:
"Since I can't kill him, why don't you promise me one thing, Third Young Master?"
"... Let me think about it carefully. Although I can't kill the Ghost Emperor Modo's wife, it seems that I don't owe you anything, right?"
Chu Qing was very clear-headed. Why did he have to agree to something for no apparent reason?
How is this account calculated?
Hua Jinnian laughed dryly:
"How about you accept me as your apprentice?" "???"
Chu Qing looked at Bian Cheng, then at Wen Rou, thinking that he had heard it wrong.
"It's worth taking me as your apprentice."
Hua Jinnian quickly said:
“I have good aptitude, good understanding, good looks, cleverness, and good foresight.
"You must be comfortable with me following you and serving you.
"The price I have to pay is nothing more than teaching me martial arts."
Before Chu Qing could speak, Mo Duxing came over:
"That sounds good...
"Since the Third Young Master is unwilling to accept you as his disciple, how about I accept you as my disciple?"
"you?"
Hua Jinnian was a little unsure about Mo Duxing's situation for a moment.
The most profound impression Mo Duxing left on him was that he had a severe stiff neck that night...
From then on, he acted like a master, and Hua Jinnian knew that he was his senior brother from Border Town.
I am also wondering why the people from Taiyi Sect don’t practice boxing and kicking but instead practice swordsmanship?
But he didn't dare to ask in detail.
Now listening to Mo Duxing's words and seeing the confidence on his face.
Could it be that he is really a great master who has never appeared in the world?
After all, I am a young man, and I have shown my unique swordsmanship in Shaoyanmen. If I didn't have any skills, how dare he make fun of me like this?
I hesitated for a moment, not knowing whether I should become his disciple.
"What's wrong with me?"
Mo Duxing saw Hua Jinnian's face full of suspicion and couldn't help but feel a little angry:
"How ridiculous! Just because you are attracted by the Third Young Master's few tricks, you want to become his disciple.
“It’s really ridiculous that famous teachers are so blind nowadays.
"If they hadn't stopped me from taking action every time, I would have already become famous in the world!!"
"Ah this..."
Hua Jinnian became a little impatient. He first looked at Bian Cheng and then at Chu Qing.
I really don't know whether I should believe it or not.
But Bian Cheng looked up at the sky, and Chu Qing had a blank expression. It was really difficult to tell any clues from their faces.
He gritted his teeth, stamped his feet, and was about to kneel down.
Bian Cheng quickly reached out and stopped him:
"Are you really kneeling?"
"what?"
Hua Jinnian was somewhat skeptical of Mo Duxing's ability, and couldn't help but ask:
"Is he just bragging?"
"That's not to say..."
In front of outsiders, Bian Cheng actually gave Mo Duxing a lot of face. After all, he was his eldest senior brother, and he didn't say that his eldest senior brother liked to put on airs and play tricks.
Just said:
“If you take him as your master, you will be a disciple of my Taiyi Sect.
"But my Taiyi Sect does not accept people with skills to become its disciples. I hope Brother Hua will not be offended."
"Oh."
Hua Jinnian didn't know whether to be disappointed or relieved for a moment.
However, he still knew that Taiyi Sect did not accept disciples with special skills.
He nodded immediately and let the idea go.
But after this incident, he gave up the idea of taking Chu Qing as his master.
Mo Duxing said with regret:
"You guys... have prevented the birth of another sword master."
Chu Qing glanced at him and felt that Mo Duxing's statement was too certain.
Is he really good, or is he just bluffing? Or is it just his natural character?
Come to think of it, since Chu Qing met this person, he has never seen him take action.
But Mo Duxing is good at light work and has obviously made some progress in internal strength. So far, he has never been a drag on their journey.
As I was thinking about it, I found that Wenrou had started writing furiously again without me noticing.
Chu Qing glanced at it and saw the beautiful handwriting on the small notebook:
[The eldest brother cheated to recruit a disciple, and the young boy almost became a disciple of the wrong master].
Chu Qing almost laughed out loud, but after taking a closer look, he found that the girl's handwriting was indeed beautiful and pleasing to the eye.
I remember that I found a portrait of Wenrou from the assassin who came to assassinate Wenrou for the first time.
At that time, I commented gently that the painting was really ugly...
Looking at her handwriting now, I can see that she is not without the ability to appreciate it.
Could it be that this little girl not only has beautiful handwriting, but is also proficient in the art of painting?
After all, it is quite troublesome to carry Xu Mao on the road.
So when we passed through the next town, we spent money to buy a carriage.
The money was paid by Xu Mao. This guy was extremely rich and he didn't even blink an eye when buying the carriage.
The carriage we bought was also good and quite spacious.
There is a small coffee table in the middle, which can accommodate four more people.
Chu Qing and his group took turns driving the carriage, which made the movement much more convenient than before.
The territory of Luochen Villa is a total of 128 miles, both front and back, left and right, so the land is actually not very large.
With a horse-drawn carriage, the speed is much faster.
I thought that the closer we got to Luochen Villa, the greater the resistance we would encounter.
But somehow, this idea seems wrong.
The biggest obstacle encountered along the way was Cheng Tieshan from Tiexuetang.
After leaving the small town, the journey was smooth and in less than two days, they arrived at the foot of Tianxing Mountain where Luochen Villa was located.
Biancheng speculated that it was because the news that Chu Qing had repelled Cheng Tieshan with one palm had spread, which led to the later comers not daring to offend the tiger's might.
However, along the way, I have not been able to pay attention to these rumors, so I don't know whether this guess is accurate or not.
When they arrived at Tianxing Mountain, Wenrou couldn't help but lift the curtain on the carriage window and look outside.
“How does it feel to revisit the old place?”
Chu Qing sat at the other end of her and poured herself a cup of tea.
Wenrou thought for a moment before saying:
“I was too young when I left home, and I have seldom been home in recent years. Now I don’t think it’s a big deal.
"But I still remember that there was a lake in front of Zhuangzi...
“When I was a child, my father told me that the lake was called Zhaixing Lake.
“Tianxing Mountain and Zhaixing Lake are both related to stars because many years ago, a meteorite fell from the sky and hit the middle of the mountain, creating a huge hole.
“Later, rainwater poured in and eventually formed a lake.
"After we had Tianxing Mountain and Zhaixing Lake... we also had Luochen Villa."
Just as I said this, I suddenly heard a voice from outside:
"Eh? It's you!"
The next moment, the carriage suddenly stopped.
Bian Cheng opened the curtain and said to Chu Qing and others inside:
"People from Longyang Mountain."
Chu Qing blinked, and then heard the man laugh:
“Okay, okay, it seems that Young Master Hua also has a special liking for our old immortal.
“I came to Luochen Villa to search for the old immortal.
"Come, come, come with me to meet the old immortal..."
Chu Qing came to the door of the carriage, lifted the curtain and looked out, and saw a pink figure swooping down from the sky.
Hua Jinnian felt unlucky when he saw them.
Seeing the other party speaking foul language and being so aggressive, he became furious. He immediately jumped up, turned the folding fan in his hand, and stabbed him with the fan as if it were a sword.
