Chapter 303 White Ape Destroys the Mountain (Two in One)
There was a moment of silence on the second floor of Taoxiangju, and the only sound was the voices of the diners downstairs.

The fat shopkeeper blinked.

He knew he had heard something he shouldn't have heard again.

Bai Yuan waved at him.

The fat shopkeeper tactfully retreated downstairs.

As the owner of a restaurant, he knew too well what he should listen to and what he should not listen to. If he listened carelessly, he would only lose his life inexplicably.

"What do you mean by that, Taoist priest?"

Bai Yuan didn't expect that the old Taoist priest would say that he had come into contact with demons. He was really confused.

The old Taoist priest said: "Mr. Bai has been so murderous recently that he has masked the aura of the demon. I was not able to recognize him for a while. I am ashamed."

Bai Yuan's brows gradually wrinkled into the shape of a "F".

Killing spirit. Devil spirit
The only thing that can connect these two points together is the Changshou Palace.

Could it be
"Master, what exactly does this demon seed mean? I have never seen the demon seed you are talking about."

The old Taoist priest groaned and asked, "Master Bai, have you been to a place with a lot of demonic energy recently?"

Bai Yuan nodded: "There was a demonic riot in Lingzhou Changshou Palace, and I just put it down."

"That's it."

The old Taoist priest showed a look of regret on his face.

"It seems that the demon has been born in Changshou Palace. It seems that I have made a mistake in my calculation. I am one step behind and every step is delayed. It is painful."

Bai Yuan: "Master, I have already dealt with all the disciples of Changshou Palace."

Bai Yuan's eyes suddenly fixed when he had just said half of his words.

wrong!

The disciples who went to Lingzhou City to report the news are still outside.

Perhaps the demon is hiding among those people.

Bai Yuan only felt a flash of lightning across his head, and all the scenes in Changshou Palace before appeared before his eyes.

When he met the Tianxin Sect that day, he felt something was wrong.

Those Tianxin Sect members also clearly came from the foot of the mountain and seemed to be looking for something. Meeting them was purely accidental.

Otherwise, if they had been prepared, they should have launched a surprise attack.

It’s a pity that Bai Yuan originally wanted to get some clues from the Tianxin Sect master, but that person committed suicide by strange means, and the clues came to an abrupt end.

But if there are demons in the mountains, then everything makes sense!
It is very likely that the followers of the Tianxin Sect are just like the old Taoist priest, they are also looking for the demon seeds.

It was just a coincidence that I ran into Bai Yuan and his group.

The reason why the disciples of Changshou Palace were so weird must be the work of that demon.

Bai Yuan immediately told the old Taoist priest his guess.

Upon hearing this, the old Taoist frowned.

"Once a demon is born, it is no different from a mortal. It is extremely difficult to find it again. It all depends on fate."

The old Taoist sighed.

Bai Yuan was silent.

This is a bit tricky.

After much thought, he obtained the old Taoist's consent and reported the matter to Yan Shaoan.

The matter of the demon species is too complicated, and only big figures like Taibao can effectively prevent the outbreak of the demon species.

Just a few days after Bai Yuan sent the letter.

Li Huan and Yan Lei came to Huanglong Mansion.

"Brother Bai."

Li Huan walked quickly into the room where Bai Yuan worked in the government office.

"Your message has been received by your father and Yan Taibao. Unfortunately, the Changshou Palace servant who reported the message died suddenly, and the others have disappeared."

Bai Yuan sighed softly.

In the end, I couldn't stop it.

The old Taoist priest once said that once the demon species escapes, finding it again would be like looking for a needle in a haystack.

Li Huan: "Lingzhou City has sent people to search. Lord Yan ordered me and Brother Yan to come to Huanglong Mansion to assist Brother Bai in the search."

"Thank you both."

Bai Yuan bowed to Li Huan and Yan Lei.

Yan Lei stood farther away from Bai Yuan. Ever since the last time in Changshou Mountain, he felt a little scared when he saw Bai Yuan.

"Brother Bai, I heard that you want to exchange the Great Red Kirin Clothes for a skill. Grandfather can help you upgrade the Great Red Kirin Clothes to a higher level and exchange it for a higher level skill in the inner treasury."

"Everything depends on Brother Bai's choice."

Bai Yuan was a little surprised.

Yan Shaoan really has connections everywhere.

Only he and the little eunuch knew about the matter of the big red unicorn Duan Yi. He didn't expect that Yan Shaoan, who was thousands of miles away from Kyoto, could know what was going on in the palace.

Bai Yuan hesitated for a moment and said, "Thank you very much, Master Yan."

The Yan family's martial arts are very powerful, but they are still far inferior to those of the Neiku.

The most powerful force in the world is undoubtedly the imperial court.

The martial arts techniques in the imperial treasury are even more extensive and include everything.

Although the Yan family has a large collection of books, they are specialized in their fields, and the martial arts they collect are mainly Confucian.

Unlike the Yan family, the inner treasury must have more types of martial arts, and the grades may also be higher, which meets Bai Yuan's needs.

Yan Lei: "This is what Lord Bai deserves."

After that, he took out a list from his arms.

"Master Bai, this is a list of the techniques in the imperial treasury."

Bai Yuan took the paper with the list of skills from Yan Lei.

There are not many techniques on paper, only about twenty or so.

Yan Lei explained: "This time, Lord Bai can choose only the top-ranked martial arts. I think Lord Bai doesn't like other martial arts, so they are not listed."

In fact, every high-ranking official in Kyoto has a copy of this list; it's no secret.

The Neikuli's martial arts were originally intended to reward ministers who had made contributions to the court.

Li Huan spoke at the right time: "The inner treasury is divided into four levels: heaven, earth, black and yellow. Each level is divided into four numbers. Brother Bai's previous Da Hong Qilin Duan Yi can be exchanged for the Tianzi No. 4 martial arts."

Although Li Huan has always lived in Qingzhou, he is a member of the royal family after all, and knows much more about Kyoto than other people in the northern border.

Bai Yuan raised his eyebrows.

Because of Yan Shaoan, the skills he could choose were directly upgraded by three grades and became the best.

The martial arts in Tian Zi No. 1 are already Xuan Yang’s most advanced ones.

Only a few important officials who have made great contributions are qualified to practice.

Sometimes some second-grade warriors have the opportunity to choose the skills from the No. 1 Tianzi inner library.

Bai Yuan knew the importance of this technique, so he looked at it more carefully.

"The Chapter of the Correspondence between Heaven and Man": The top-level internal skill of Taoism, which can increase the chance of breaking through the barrier of Mingxin by 30%.

"Haoran Zhengqigong": the top-level Confucian practice, which, if practiced to a high level, can evolve into Haoran Zhengqi.

"Eternal Divine Sword": This is a martial art created by the Evergreen Sword God.

It is worthy of being the number one martial art. Just looking at the name makes it seem extremely domineering.

In addition, there is a very brief introduction after each exercise.

Bai Yuan felt a surge of heat in his heart as he watched.

If he could master all these skills, he would probably be invincible in the world. Unfortunately, he couldn't change it.

He obtained a royal red Qilin robe, and with the help of Yan Shaoan, he was able to get the opportunity to choose the number one martial arts technique.

So you have to be more careful when choosing.

"Soul-breaking Knife"

Crane Dance Seal

Sky Thunder Fist

Bai Yuan has the Divine Palace Power, so naturally he doesn't need any other internal skills.

So the options are to be chosen from among the martial arts.

Both hands already have skills, plus the old Taoist's walking on sand and snow, the best thing is to choose a skill for the feet. In this way, the requirements of the first level of Shenfu Gong can be met.

After opening the four great divine palaces, his strength will surely increase dramatically.

"Brother Yan, I want this book White Ape Breaks the Mountain."

Hearing Bai Yuan's words, Yan Lei's face showed surprise.

He couldn't help but remind him: "Brother Bai, the opportunity is precious, it would be more appropriate to choose the top-level inner sect technique."

It’s no wonder that he is so talkative, as the White Ape Breaking the Mountain technique is a kicking move.

Although there are martial artists in Xuanyang who practice leg techniques, they are undoubtedly far fewer than those who practice swordsmanship.

Although practicing boxing requires training leg techniques, most boxers specialize in boxing, and there are very few who specialize in training leg techniques.

Bai Yuan: "I have made up my mind. Sorry to bother you, Brother Yan."

Seeing Bai Yuan's determined face, Yan Lei stopped trying to persuade him.

But his expression was even more strange. He felt that Bai Yuan should be the first person in hundreds of years to choose the White Ape to break the mountain.

Could it be that because the White Ape is connected to the White Abyss, this technique was chosen?
Yan Lei had no intention of asking further questions.

"As you should. Congratulations to Brother Bai for obtaining another peerless magical skill."

"Thank you."

Bai Yuan clasped his fists towards Yan Lei.

Yan Lei waved his hands quickly. He really couldn't handle Bai Yuan's kindness.

The scene that day was so vivid that he couldn't even come to his senses now.

Li Huan was delighted to see Bai Yuan obtain the technique: "Congratulations, Brother Bai."

He already knew that Bai Yuan was following the path of practicing all kinds of techniques. The more techniques the better. A good technique could greatly enhance Bai Yuan's strength.

Before, Bai Yuan, who had not yet made a breakthrough, was already able to fight against those powerful sentient beings. Now, aren’t those people like paper?
As for the Grand Master Ming Xin.
Even Bai Yuan didn't dare to think about it.

He had seen Du Qinghui in action before. Even a great master like Du Qinghui was far from being able to contend with him.

But he is only thirty years old now.

Among martial artists of this age who have superior perception, there is not much difference between them and children.

He has the confidence that he can reach that level.

Yan Lei: "Master Bai, the matter of the demon seed is related to the fate of Xuanyang. We need to find the demon seed as soon as possible."

Bai Yuan's brows moved slightly.

He didn't expect that the demon species would actually be related to Xuanyang's national destiny.

Seeing Bai Yuan's confusion, Yan Lei explained, "Grandfather has already informed the court of this matter. These are all deductions made by the Imperial Observatory."

"The imperial court takes the matter of the demon species very seriously, but they are worried about alerting the enemy, so they only send experts to search secretly."

Bai Yuan then nodded.

He had already seen the methods of the Imperial Observatory.

The deputy director of the Imperial Observatory who had followed Du Qinghui to Dingzhou had predicted that Dingzhou would be a life-or-death situation. In the end, it came true. The Nine Heavens Mysterious Soldiers were revived, and old man Du died in battle.

Now the Imperial Observatory attaches so much importance to the matter of demon seeds, I think there must be a reason for it.

Since the imperial court has already sent experts to conduct a secret investigation, his pressure will be much less.

Li Huan: "Brother Bai, don't worry. We are just assisting them. I heard that the Imperial Observatory will also send people here this time."

"Oh?"

Bai Yuan spent his whole life indifferently.

The Imperial Observatory is the most mysterious institution in the imperial court. It is said to have originated from Taoism and then developed and flourished.

It has the ability to verify destiny and avoid misfortune and seek good fortune.

Bai Yuan also happened to learn the Four-Nine Books, and he wanted to see how advanced the divination techniques of the Imperial Observatory were. Ten days passed in a flash.

There was no apparent change in Huanglong Mansion.

Except for the addition of Li Huan and Yan Lei.

After the two of them arrived at Huanglong Mansion, they often went in and out of Yang Fangyu's mansion together.

It is true that Yang Fangyu has some talent in making friends. Li Huan said that Yan Lei and Yang Fangyu hit it off from the first sight and they often talked late into the night.

Li Huan and Yan Lei stayed in Huanglong Mansion, naturally to wait for the masters of the court.

This day.

Chen Danian checked in at the government office as usual, and then prepared to return to his own house to tease his new beautiful maid.

Ever since Bai Yuan became the general of Lingzhou, the prefect Kong Sen's morale has weakened a lot.

Most of the power was taken away by Bai Yuan, so naturally he no longer needed so many subordinates.

Kong Sen had long looked down upon Chen Danian's abilities.

Gradually, Chen Danian was also neglected by Kong Sen.

Chen Danian could understand this and was happy with his free time. He would report to the government office as usual every day and then hide in the golden house.

As soon as Chen Danian walked to the door, he saw two men, one tall and one short, arguing with the gatekeepers at the government office.

He chuckled and showed an interested look.

The two men looked exhausted, and were clearly wandering wanderers.

People like this are most afraid of the government, but today he came to the government office for the first time.

You know, although the Huanglongfu yamen is nominally a prefectural yamen, it is actually configured as a provincial yamen.

Any knight who dares to come here to cause trouble must be crazy.

Chen Danian straightened his back, strode forward, and his official authority increased greatly.

"Who is coming?"

When the gatekeeper saw that it was Chen Danian, he immediately smiled flatteringly.

Chen Danian couldn't hold his head up in front of Bai Yuan and Kong Sen, but in front of others, he was still a fourth-rank official and no one dared to offend him.

Not to mention that he had been an official for many years, so he had already mastered the skill of being intimidating without getting angry to great precision.

This official authority alone is not something that an ordinary official can handle.

The officer guarding the gate said cautiously: "Master Chen, these two people insist on seeing Master Bai."

"Can anyone see Lord Bai?"

When Chen Danian heard this, he looked surprised.

Two chivalrous knights actually came to find Bai Yuan, the evil star. It was really like a knife stabbing their butts and opening their eyes.

Aren’t you afraid that Bai Yuan will directly kill these two people in exchange for his success?
Bai Yuan is now as important as a crying child in Lingzhou.

He already had the nickname of the King of All Poisons, and now he has been directly upgraded to the Butcher of Men.

The number of people he killed was several times more than that of his master, the Thousand-Handed Man-Slayer. He was truly better than his master.

This master and disciple pair are simply born killers.

Chen Danian looked at the two men, one tall and one short, with great interest: "I am the co-governor of Lingzhou. What do you want from Lord Bai?"

The tall man clasped his fists and said, "We two have admired Lord Bai for a long time. We hope to meet Lord Bai and find a job for him."

Chen Danian raised his eyebrows.

He didn't expect that the two gangsters in front of him were quite smart and actually wanted to join Bai Yuan.

But now there are so many people who want to join Bai Yuan.

Although Bai Yuan has a bad reputation, there are quite a few young men from noble families who want to join him.

The two people in front of me are just gangsters and have no status at all.

Just as Chen Danian was about to use an official tone to send the two men away, he saw the short man take out a silver note from his pocket.

Chen Danian took a glance.

Wow, three thousand taels!
He didn't expect that the two gangsters in front of him were actually wealthy men who were willing to invest so much.

Although he did not need the three thousand taels, seeing that the two were so sensible, he just waved his hand.

After all, who can have trouble with money?
"Since you two are so sincere, let's go."

He took the banknote calmly, and then ordered the gatekeeper to take the two of them to see Bai Yuan.

The tall man bowed to Chen Danian and said, "Thank you, sir."

Not long after the two men left, he suddenly remembered something and asked another officer guarding the gate.

"Who are those two people?"

"My Lord, they should be from out of state."

Two men, one tall and one short, followed the gatekeeper all the way to the room where Bai Yuan worked.

The gatekeeper asked the two men to stay at the door while he went in to report.

Although he has passed the hurdle of Chen Danian, he may not be able to meet Bai Yuan. It all depends on the general's own wishes.

"Master Bai, there are two swordsmen from other states who say they have admired you for a long time and want to meet you."

Bai Yuan, who was reading a document, was stunned and slowly put down the document in his hand.

"Did the two say where they came from?"

"I don't know either."

"Bring those two here."

When the gatekeeper heard this, he immediately trotted out of the room and led in the two gangsters who had been waiting at the door.

Bai Yuan saw the two of them.

"You go down first."

When the gatekeeper heard this, he immediately nodded and left.

After the official walked away, Bai Yuan slowly spoke: "Where are you two from?"

But the short man said, "Zhili."

The so-called Zhili is the place where the emperor is located, the heart of Xuanyang, and the imperial city.

Zhili is different from other states. Its area is only the size of three prefectures, but its status is extremely high. After all, it is where the emperor resides.

Bai Yuan finally smiled: "You two have worked hard."

Hearing this, the two of them smiled and said, "Master Bai, we'll be in trouble from now on."

The two people in front of him were the masters sent by the imperial court to investigate the demon species.

"What should I call you two?"

The short man: "Qin Tianjian, Liu Zhengwen."

The tall man: "Imperial Guard, Fang Yong."

"So you are the experts from the Imperial Observatory and the Imperial Guards. Nice to meet you."

Bai Yuan took a closer look at the short man named Liu Zhengwen, who was from the Imperial Observatory.

He looked at the two people's attire and was a little curious: "Why are you two dressed like this?"

Liu Zhengwen laughed: "Master Jianzheng once said that the demon species is extraordinary and has the ability to predict the future. If it is too strong, it will be discovered. We need to keep a low profile and not alert the enemy. That's why Brother Fang and I came here in disguise."

Bai Yuan was surprised: "Does that demon have such ability?"

Liu Zhengwen nodded: "These are all the words of the supervisor."

Bai Yuan nodded.

Since it was said by the director of the Imperial Observatory, it should be almost true.

No wonder Liu Zhengwen and Fang Yong are both just perceptual martial artists.

Such strength is definitely not weak no matter where it is placed, but compared with major events such as the demon species that involve the fate of the country, it does seem a little weak.

Liu Zhengwen: "Master Bai, General Fang and I need an identity to move around, so we will say that we are your retainers. General Fang and I will investigate secretly first. If necessary, we will ask Master Bai for help."

Bai Yuan laughed: "Of course."

Although Liu Zhengwen and Fang Yong are still only sentient beings, since they were sent to track down the demon species, their abilities must be very strong.

"Then thank you, Lord Bai."

"Master Bai, please keep the fact that General Fang and I came to Lingzhou a secret. Even if Master Kong asks, please do not reveal our whereabouts."

Bai Yuan said solemnly: "I will keep silent about it."

The Lord Kong that Liu Zhengwen mentioned was naturally Kong Sen.

He didn't expect that even Kong Sen was not qualified to know about this.

Doesn't that mean he is the only one in the entire Lingzhou who knows about this?
The three of them then chatted about some details of the search for the demon species. After everything was discussed, Liu Zhengwen finally showed a satisfied smile.

Bai Yuan: "You two, I prepared some light wine, why don't we drink and chat?"

Liu Zhengwen waved his hand and said, "Master Bai, General Fang and I are just your retainers on the surface. That would be too ostentatious."

"Well, let's wait until we catch the demon, and then we'll drink together."

"That's right."

At this time, Fang Yong took out a brand new book from his arms.

"Master Bai, this is Bai Yuan Po Shan, the Grand Protector asked me to bring this to Lingzhou."

Bai Yuan looked at the martial arts in Fang Yong's hands with shining eyes.

This time, I was able to obtain the skills so quickly thanks to Fang Yong's help.

Otherwise, a top-notch martial art like the White Ape Breaking Mountain Skill would have strict defenses, and it would definitely take a lot of effort to send it to Lingzhou, which is thousands of miles away.

The imperial court did have a special channel for transporting such extremely valuable items, with an express delivery of 800 miles.

The 800-mile express delivery is not only fast but also extremely safe.

Under normal circumstances, valuable rewards would be delivered once every six months at an express speed of 800 miles. Of course, the speed requirement was not that high at this time.

So according to previous calculations, Bai Yuan will have to wait for some time before he can get the White Ape Breaking the Mountain.

This time, it was thanks to Fang Yong that we were able to arrive so many days earlier.

Bai Yuan: "Thank you, General Fang."

Fang Yong grinned and said, "It's just a piece of cake. Sir Bai is so young and has acquired such a magical skill. He has a bright future ahead of him."

Bai Yuan: "General Fang, you are too kind."

Afterwards, Xu Zhengwen and Fang Yong left first.

According to the plan, they will stay in Huanglongfu City for a while, and then wait for an opportunity to go to other places in Lingzhou.

After Bai Yuan sent the two away.

Only then did he sit back in the armchair and open the cover of the book.

The White Ape Breaking the Mountain that he got was certainly not the original, but a rubbing.

Although the content of the rubbing is the same, it still lacks some charm.

Anyone who can create a martial art of the level of White Ape Breaking the Mountain is undoubtedly a top-notch person, and his martial arts will must be contained in his original form.

It’s a pity that the royal family has no chance of taking out the original one.

Bai Yuan slowly flipped through the martial arts techniques and looked at them very carefully.

"In ancient times, there was a very evil beast named Zhuyan."

"Zhu Yan appears, and heaven and earth are in chaos."

"I created this move by visualizing Zhu Yan. White Ape Breaking the Mountain is a murderous skill that only focuses on killing power. It is very easy to go astray. The younger generation should be careful when practicing this skill."

Bai Yuan had a strange look on his face.

He didn't expect that the white ape breaking the mountain was actually related to the ancient vicious beast Zhu Yan.

When he chose this skill, he just thought that White Ape Breaking the Mountain was a leg technique, which just met the requirements of Divine Mansion Skill.

Unexpectedly, it coincided with the visualization goal of performing the magic skill.

Because of his skill in performing magic, he can be said to be extremely familiar with Zhu Yan.

With his foundation in Demon Performing Arts, it would be much smoother for him to practice White Ape Breaking the Mountain.

Could this be the case of good deeds being rewarded?
