Chapter 62 Let’s go to Hengshan County!

Chapter 62 Let’s go to Hengshan County!
Yue Buqun thought for a while and said, "Denuo, go to Fuzhou and see what Master Yu wants to do."

"Yes, master."

After hearing this, Lao Denuo felt helpless. He had just returned from Sichuan and now he had to go to Fujian. Isn't this too much trouble?

But when he thought about the possibility of seeing the "Bixie Sword Technique" in Fuzhou, he became interested again.

So, the next day, after packing my luggage, I prepared to go down the mountain alone.

But when he was going out, he met Yue Lingshan who had just returned from outside. She had a beautiful oval face and a pair of clear black and white eyes. Anyone who saw her would say "What a beautiful girl."

The eldest senior brother was put in solitary confinement, and Yue Lingshan was bored. Seeing Lao Denuo's outfit, she smiled and asked, "Second senior brother, are you going out again?"

Lao Denuo smiled and replied, "Junior Sister, Master sent me to Fuzhou and I am going to leave today."

When Yue Lingshan heard this, her eyes lit up immediately and she said happily, "Is it the Fuzhou mentioned in the book 'The southern part of Fujian, with endless mountains'? I want to go there too!"

"This... requires the master's consent, right?" Laudenuo was stunned and said hesitantly.

"Yeah, wait for me. I'll go talk to dad." As soon as she finished speaking, Yue Lingshan quickly ran towards Junzitang. She knew that her father would usually read books and practice martial arts there.

Laudeno was helpless and had to wait there.

Not long after, Yue Lingshan ran over happily with a small bag on her back and said, "Daddy agreed, Second Brother, let's go!"

"Master really agreed?"

Lao Denuo was stunned, but seeing Yue Lingshan's excitement, it didn't seem like she was lying to him.

In desperation, Lao Denuo had to take Yue Lingshan, the new martial arts rookie, down from Huashan and head towards Shangzhou.

On the other side, Jie Qing took Ou Zanghua's wooden box and four Beggar Gang fighters and boarded the ship to Yingtian Prefecture.

In March, the canal has thawed. Taking a boat along the canal is much easier and safer than riding a horse.

They sat there for more than ten days. After arriving at Yingtian Prefecture, Xie Qing couldn't stand the life on the boat anymore, so he changed to riding a horse and continued to move towards Tanzhou.

He encountered many things along the way, whether it was robbery, the battle between good and evil, or enemies chasing him and asking him for help, Jie Qing ignored them all. He remembered his eldest brother's words that nothing was more important than what Senior Brother Ou told him.

However, Jie Qing's abnormal behavior soon attracted the attention of the Lulin.

The Green Lotus Messenger of the Beggar Gang, who always likes to be chivalrous and righteous, and is accompanied by four Beggar Gang masters, actually ignored all kinds of injustices for a wooden box. What's in the wooden box?
The outlaws couldn't help but start to imagine wildly. Some suspected that it was the Beggar Gang's first magical skill, the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms, the most powerful palm technique in the world. Others guessed that it was the Beggar Gang's extraordinary skill, the Sleeping Arhat Fist, which was rumored to be a magical martial art that could be practiced even while asleep.

Before this, the leader of the Beggars' Sect, Jie Feng, had not appeared in public for more than a month, and there were rumors in the martial arts world that he was injured in a duel with the leader of the Cao Gang, Zai Fuwang.

Judging from the route they took, they were most likely going to Wudang Mountain to get the secret book in exchange for the Wudang Sect's magical medicine for internal injuries, the Heavenly King Heart Protecting Pill.

Following the whereabouts of Jie Qing and his group, rumors spread more and more widely, and martial arts heroes from both the black and white worlds began to pay attention to this team.

When Xie Qing arrived at Taiping Prefecture in Nanzhili, he found that many people were paying attention to them. Even when they stayed in an inn, some petty thieves dared to sneak into the room at night to steal things.

Unfortunately, the little thief was not very strong, and before he could get close to Jie Qing, he was killed on the spot by the Beggar Gang master Jiao Muqing.

Looking at the corpse of the little thief, Jiao Muqing said solemnly: "Envoy Qinglian, something is not right. I will go around and ask the brothers about it."

"Go quickly and come back soon!" Jie Qing nodded.

Jiao Muqing put one hand on the table, turned over, kicked open the window, and jumped down from the second floor. His movements were graceful and smooth.

Xie Qing was stunned for a moment, then looked at the other three and asked, "Can't he just take the stairs?"

The other three looked away, looking like they were having a hard time trying to hold back their laughter.
That night, Jie Qing didn't dare to sleep much because his window was kicked in and couldn't be closed at all.

Not only did no one make up for it, but the inn also had to pay compensation. Jie Qing was so angry just thinking about it that he couldn't sleep.

In the morning, Jiao Muqing came in through the window with a serious face. When he saw Jie Qing with red eyes, he immediately said, "Envoy Qinglian, I don't know who spread rumors in the martial arts world, saying that we are escorting the Beggars' Sect's peerless magic skills. Now both the black and white heroes are targeting us."

Xie Qing stood up suddenly and said angrily: "This is a rumor, we are just delivering a letter home!"

"But people outside won't believe it now," Jiao Muqing was stunned. He just realized that he was just delivering a letter home, so he asked, "What should I do now?"

"Do I look like someone who can use his brain?" Jie Qing glared at Jiao Muqing and asked back.

Jiao Muqing shut up. Compared to the White Lotus Messenger, the Blue Lotus Messenger really didn't use his brain much.

Unable to think of a solution, Jie Qing could only sigh and said, "In this case, we should speed up and deliver Senior Brother Ou's letter to Hengshan as soon as possible. Once this mission is completed, the rumors outside will be self-defeating."

"That makes sense!" Jiao Muqing agreed immediately after hearing it.

So the five members of the Beggars' Sect quickened their pace and shook off all those who tried to approach them.

In the eyes of others, such behavior was a sign that the Beggars' Sect was guilty of being seen through by them. Even the martial arts masters who were not very interested in it began to pay attention. Finally, at the ferry in Jiujiang, Jiangxi, Jie Qing and his five companions were attacked by a group of masked men.

Jie Qing was almost mad with rage. While fending off the attacks from all around him, he roared, "You bunch of stupid thieves, what do you think you are stealing?! This is a letter from the eldest brother of the Nanyue Hengshan Sect. It's just a letter. What are you stealing it for?!"

A man in black stabbed out with a sword, but it dodged and sneered, "Humph, Master Jie is lying. How did you, an envoy of the Beggars' Sect, end up delivering letters to the people of Hengshan Sect? You are clearly deceiving us!"

"Big Brother from the Nanyue Hengshan Sect is a tribute scholar of the current dynasty. Our Beggars' Gang is entrusted by him to deliver a letter to his family. What's wrong with that?" Jie Qing used the Bodhidharma stick technique - Sweeping Chaos to block the long sword and continued to explain.

The man in black said disdainfully: "It's even more ridiculous! Can beggars like you compare yourself to a tribute scholar?"

Another man in black slashed at him with a knife, but after Jie Qing dodged it, he said, "How about this? You give the wooden box to us. After we have read it and confirmed that it is a letter from home, we will return it to you."

"This is someone's letter. Why do you think you can read it?!" Xie Qingqi laughed and asked back in a cold voice.

"Humph, you don't dare to show it to us. It's indeed not some useless family letter! Brothers, there's no need to hold back!" After hearing this, the man in black holding the sword attacked more rapidly.

Jie Qing was able to fight off two people alone without being defeated, his strength is remarkable.

At this moment, a man in black suddenly jumped out, cut the package with a dagger, and the wooden box fell down.

Jie Qing's face changed and he quickly turned around to grab it. While the four of them were fighting, someone kicked the wooden box into the river.

Everyone was stunned for a moment and wanted to jump into the river to grab the wooden box.

At this moment, the Cao Gang men at the dock rushed out holding water and fire sticks, and the leader shouted angrily: "Who the hell dares to cause trouble at the dock?!"

Seeing that it was his former partner, Jie Qing immediately shouted excitedly: "Brothers from the Cao Gang, please help me."

The Cao Gang man was immediately furious when he saw this: "Is it you beggars who caused this trouble again? Brothers, let's fight together!"

The fight between the two sides turned into a three-way melee in the blink of an eye. Jie Qing was entangled and couldn't get away. He could only fight while cursing: "Idiot! Idiot! Shameless! You guys are ruining my business!"

On the other side of the Gan River in Jiujiang, Yue Lingshan followed Lao Denuo for more than twenty days. Although it was very hard, Yue Lingshan did not complain of being tired. Having never been out of Weinan, she was full of energy when she saw the different scenery along the way.

When the two of them were resting at a tea stall by the river, Yue Lingshan looked at the surging river and asked excitedly, "Second Brother, can we take a boat to Fuzhou?"

"Well, we can indeed travel a distance by boat." Laudenuo thought about it and found that traveling by water seemed to be feasible.

At this time, Yue Lingshan saw something floating on the river. Curious, she picked up a bamboo pole and pushed the thing over. She found that it was a finely crafted wooden box that was waterproof and moisture-proof.

"Second brother, look what this is?" Yue Lingshan came back holding the wooden box and asked happily.

After seeing it, Lao Denuo was also a little concerned: "It looks like it's made of high quality materials, but I don't know if there are any hidden weapons inside. It's better to be careful."

“Yeah.” Yue Lingshan nodded, and after keeping some distance, she used her sword to cut off the lock on it, and then carefully picked it open.

The wooden box did not respond at all.

The two looked at each other, then cautiously leaned over to take a look. Inside was a thick envelope and two books.

"Could it be a secret book?!" Lao Denuo's eyes lit up and he immediately picked up the book and started reading it.

Yue Lingshan took out the letter, and there were only four words written on the cover: "Qingqing's Personal Letter".

Who is Qingqing?

After hesitating for a moment, she opened it and began to read.

Soon, Lao Denuo showed a look of disappointment, because apart from the words "Fengya Twelve Poems" and "Jieshidiao·Youlan" on the cover, which he recognized, the words inside were like scribbles, with several words put together to form one word, which he could not recognize at all.

When Yue Lingshan read the first page, she immediately realized that this might be a letter from home.

She could tell from the words that were drawn stroke by stroke how happy the man was when he was writing.

This made her a little annoyed that she had rashly opened the other person's letter. Didn't this destroy the other person's enthusiasm?

Thinking of this, she pulled out the last page.

When I saw the signature was Ou Zanghua, I felt it looked familiar.

"The Qingqing Hengshan County mentioned at the beginning. And the one who asked about practicing sword, could it be Junior Sister Liu Qing, the daughter of Uncle Liu Zhengfeng?" Yue Lingshan suddenly thought of someone and said it unconsciously.

"Junior sister, do you know him?" Laudenuo asked with some surprise.

"I've only heard mother talk about it, but I've never seen it."

Yue Lingshan shook her head. She suddenly became very interested in the writer and the receiver of the letter. She put the letter back into the envelope, looked at Lao Denuo and suggested, "Second Brother, let's go to Hengshan County!"

Luo Denuo suddenly turned his head to look at Yue Lingshan, and his heart almost collapsed.
