Chapter 387 Let’s Play the Poor

The thousand-year-old Penglai Island is a place that all the martial artists in the Tang Dynasty yearn for.

It is rumored that there is a vast library of martial arts books here, which records countless exquisite moves. If someone can stay in this library for a month, he can become a world-famous master.

There are also rumors in the martial arts world that Fang Qian, who was known as "the best in the world", became a master at a young age because he read a lot of martial arts classics in the library.

The most powerful family in the East China Sea is the Fang family of Penglai.

The Fang family has many martial arts, but the most famous one in the Tang Dynasty martial arts world must be "Shang Shui Bao Dian", which has been used by Gong Aoqiang to dominate the world in the past few decades.

It’s just that the "Shang Shui Treasure Book" originated from the wordless heavenly book left by Guiguzi in the past, and has always been kept in the library of the Fang family. Only the masters of all generations can access it, and ordinary disciples cannot practice it.

The mental method practiced by the Penglai disciples is called "Linghai Jue".

They all use umbrellas as weapons and have developed a unique set of umbrella-attacking techniques, which they perform with great agility and freedom, and with unparalleled swiftness and ferocity. They are also able to use the technique of taming eagles, and when they have mastered the art to the extreme, they can roam freely in the sky and around the world, looking down on all the other heroes.

After arriving at Penglai Island on the Garuda bird, Lu Ping, under the guidance of Shen Jianxin, slowly headed towards the core area of ​​Penglai.

Along the way, the two met many disciples who were practicing martial arts. Seeing the martial arts they used in competition, they became very interested and stopped to watch and discuss.

"Penglai Umbrella Attack Technique..."

"I have been traveling around the martial arts world for quite some time, and I have heard of many martial arts masters, but I can only remember very few who used umbrellas as weapons."

Lu Ping suddenly thought of Hou Qing, one of the four corpse ancestors of the Xuanming Sect in "The Bad Guys", who seemed to use a blood-red oil-paper umbrella as a weapon.

But that was only because the "Record of Tears and Blood" happened to be hidden in the umbrella. Hou Qing himself did not specifically practice martial arts routines using an umbrella as a weapon.

"From what I remember, there seems to be a weapon called 'Eight Treasures Cloud-avoiding Umbrella' among the Eighteen Shaolin Weapons, but there doesn't seem to be a single master who has become famous for it."

After watching the disciples practicing for a while, Lu Ping and Shen Jianxin came to the 'Jiubian Hall'.

Jiubian Hall is located at the back of Lanke Mountain on Penglai Island. It was originally a quiet place, mainly for the predecessors of Penglai to live and recuperate in the mountains.

Later, Fang Yi, the former leader of Penglai, was assassinated and fell into madness, so the Fang family members were confined here, and Jiubian Hall became one of the forbidden places in Penglai.

The reason why the two outsiders, Shen Jianxin and Lu Ping, were able to come in this time was mainly because they came to deliver medicine, and they were also friends of Li Fu.

After the two arrived at Jiubian Hall, they saw Fang Qian and Li Fu who were waiting there.

As members of Jiutian, Li Fu and Fang Qian had met several times before and knew each other well.

So in Fang Qian's eyes, since Li Fu believes that Lu Ping and Shen Jianxin can be trusted, he can also take better care of these two younger martial arts masters.

Furthermore, Fang Qian had already heard of Lu Ping's name from the East China Sea's intelligence network. He knew that he was the 'Master of Ten Thousand Flowers' certified by his son, and that he had previously assisted the Tang Dynasty in defeating the Twelve Linked Docks.

It seems that the two parties are destined to be together.

"I'm sorry, Master Fang."

As soon as he saw the owner of this place, Shen Jianxin immediately put on a miserable expression: "There was an accident on the way back, which delayed me for a while..."

"Fortunately, I have fulfilled my mission and brought back the Five Color Powder safely."

"Cough cough cough..."

Compared to the original plan, Shen Jianxin returned one day later.

Fortunately, he was only one day late, and there was still some of the Five-Colored Powder he had taken before, so Fang Yi was not very urgent about the bottle of medicine in Shen Jianxin's hand, and no major accidents had happened for the time being.

"It doesn't matter..."

"I'm glad that Young Master Shen can come back. I'm really sorry to trouble you for this trip."

Fang Qian was silent for a few seconds, then gratefully took the medicine bottle from Shen Jianxin.

"I guess you two must have suffered a lot on the road, right?"

"I will immediately arrange for a disciple from the Medical Sect to come over and examine you, young man..."

Under the two elders, Penglai also has four major sect leaders, namely the "Dharma Sect", "Taoism Sect", "Mohism Sect" and "Medical Sect", who mainly teach their disciples the thoughts, theories and skills of various schools of thought in the pre-Qin period.

Among them, the "Medical Sect" has learned extraordinary medical skills. Anyone with eyes can see the embarrassment of Shen Jianxin at this time -

Not to mention that his clothes were dirty, the pair of swords he had been carrying on his back were missing, and his right leg was tied with a crudely made bandage, from which one could faintly smell the scent of herbs.

Seeing Shen Jianxin in such a terrible state, no one could bear to blame him in the slightest.

Of course, a large part of this miserable appearance was due to Shen Jianxin deliberately dressing up to appear pitiful.

However, Fang Qian's eyes were blurry and he naturally couldn't tell the difference.

"Shen Jianxin, what happened?"

"How did you get hurt like this?"

Seeing Shen Jianxin's dark forehead, sunken eye sockets, listless spirit, and exhausted appearance, Li Fu was shocked and hurried forward to show concern for Shen Jianxin's condition.

Why is this happening?

Of course it’s because I stayed up late last night looking for Liulixin…

Shen Jianxin smiled secretly in his heart, but on the surface he subtly avoided Li Fu's hand that was trying to feel his pulse. Then, with the help of Lu Ping, he walked to the chair next to him and sat down.

"Ah... it's hard to put it into words..."

Lu Ping had a keen eye and immediately showed a look of sorrow on his face, cooperating with Shen Jianxin in playing the victim.

"Yesterday, on the way back, we accidentally entered a dangerous sea area and encountered the Naga Snake King. After a fierce battle with him, we were stranded on Fuqiu Island. The details are as follows..."

The story naturally omits the fact that the two of them took the Shenman Fruit and made great progress in their cultivation. It only tells the story of how the Snake King took the fragments of the demon body and the two of them searched for Liuli Heart overnight to help Fuqiu Island get rid of the poison gas.

"...Luckily, the divine bird brought us here to repay its gratitude, otherwise we would still be trapped on Fuqiu Island and unable to leave."

"It's a small matter for us to be trapped, but it would be a big matter if it delayed the treatment of the former sect master!"

Hearing Lu Ping's sincerity and honesty, Fang Qian was deeply moved. An indescribable feeling of gratitude suddenly surged in his heart. He then walked forward excitedly and held Lu Ping's hand tightly.

"The two young men have not forgotten Fang's trust even though they are in prison. They are indeed warm-blooded, trustworthy, and chivalrous men!"

"From now on, you two young heroes are the honored guests of my Penglai Island and Xiake Island!"

"If you two have any needs, please feel free to tell me. As long as I can do it, I will try my best to satisfy them!"

I've been waiting for you to say this, Fang Laodeng!

However, if you ask for something directly, that would be too cheap, and the kindness you have shown with great difficulty would be gone.

Shen Jianxin sighed and looked up at the sky at a 45-degree angle: "When someone entrusts me with something, I should be loyal to them. This is what we, the disciples of Jianghu, should do. The Sect Master really doesn't need to worry about it."

"How about that?"

Lu Ping continued his acting: "You were here to deliver medicine, but you were seriously injured!"

"Not only did he lose the sword that we won in the 'Sword Competition' and witnessed our friendship as the 'Three Heroes of the Wind and Dust', but he was also bitten by the Naga Snake King. Later, he spent the whole night searching for Liulixin to dispel the poisonous fog on Fuqiu Island, which caused the poison to attack his heart..."

"Ahem... stop talking!"

Shen Jianxin's face was flushed with a hint of redness, and it was unclear whether it was due to excitement, shyness caused by Lu Ping's words, or the poison in his body.

"What do you mean by that?"

"I, Shen Jianxin, was just a security guard in Daoxiang Village. Fortunately, I became a disciple of Chunyang Sect and achieved what I have today."

"Now that I can come to the East Sea and receive the favor of the 'number one in the world' Sect Master Fang, I am already very lucky. How can I dare to ask for anything more?"

After hearing this, Fang Qian felt even more guilty and began to think about how to compensate Shen Jianxin.

Lu Ping and Li Fu, who were standing by, complained in their hearts at the same time.

This guy really knows how to lick!
