Laughing at the Heavens: From Flying Knife Skills to Shattering the Void

Chapter 168 Yue Buqun Arrives in Luoyang
Luoyang.

"Dad, it's rumored in the martial arts world that Yue Buqun from Huashan got the Sword Manual of Exorcism from my brother-in-law's family. I don't know if this is true or not."

Wang Yuanba’s eldest son Wang Bofen said.

"Looking at the rumors circulating in the martial arts world, I'm afraid this may not be false. Besides, didn't Pingzhi mention that Yue Buqun, Yu Canghai and others have been to Fuzhou? Maybe..."

Wang Yuanba's second son, Wang Zhongqiang, also said.

"Don't tell Zhennan about this first. He is seriously injured and depressed all day. If he knew about this, I'm afraid he would be hit hard."

Wang Yuanba raised his hand to stop his two sons and spoke directly.

"Don't worry, father. We understand this principle. However, there are rumors in the martial arts world that one needs to castrate oneself to practice the Sword Manual of Exorcism. Shouldn't we ask about it?"

Wang Bofen hesitated for a moment and suddenly asked.

Wang Zhongqiang on the side was also full of curiosity, "Father, my elder brother is right. After all, my brother-in-law must know the contents of the "Sword Manual of Exorcism". Now I am afraid that only he can confirm this."

"If there is such a requirement, then Yue Buqun has practiced the Book of Exorcism Sword, wouldn't it be..."

Wang Zhongqiang said hesitantly.

This made Wang Yuanba frown and fall into deep thought.

After all, this matter concerns the reputation of Yue Buqun, the head of Huashan.

Huashan is a first-rate sect, and especially now, it has the tendency to replace Zuo Lengchan of the Songshan Sect.

They can't afford to offend.

"Don't tell anyone about this for now, call Pingzhi over."

Wang Yuanba originally wanted to find his daughter, but in the end he changed his mind. After all, Lin Pingzhi has grown up now and can stand on his own.

Since this concerns the secret of the Lin family and cannot be told to Lin Zhennan, it is still necessary to discuss it with Lin Pingzhi.

Not long after, Lin Pingzhi came into the hall.

"Pingzhi, you've also heard about the recent rumors in the martial arts world that Yue Buqun has practiced the Sword Manual of Exorcism, right?"

Wang Yuanba asked directly.

After all, he is my grandson, there is no need to hide it.

Lin Pingzhi nodded.

After all, he had also practiced the Sword Manual of Exorcism and knew that the rumor was true.

But what he didn't know was that the fact that one needed to castrate oneself to practice the Sword Manual of Exorcism should only be known by the person who obtained the sword manual, so why was it revealed now?

This was something he couldn't understand.

Because anyone who practices this martial art will do their best to keep this secret.

That's just how he is.

Apart from this, the only one who knew about this was his father Lin Zhennan.

But my father was seriously injured and had been recuperating at the Wang family for some time, so it was impossible for the news to get out.

Therefore, Lin Pinganzhi was also very curious about this matter.

"Pingzhi, do you know anything about the Lin family's Sword Manual of Exorcism? Is this true or false?"

Wang Yuanba immediately asked solemnly: "I wanted to ask your father, but your father has been in a bad mood recently, so I didn't tell him about this."

"I don't know about this either. My father didn't tell me. But grandfather and uncle, why are you asking this?"

Lin Pingzhi chose to conceal this matter.

He is well aware of the truth that an innocent man is guilty of possessing a treasure.

Especially since he had already practiced this sword technique, he didn't want anyone to know that he had castrated himself.

It won't sound good if it gets out.

"Ugh!"

Wang Yuanba sighed softly, "Now the world is full of rumors about this, but Yue Buqun has already led Huashan and is expected to compete for the position of the leader of the Five Mountains. He is very powerful. If we make him angry, I am afraid it will bring more disasters to the Lin family."

"Especially the people from Huashan. They saved your Lin family after all. If the Lin family doesn't clarify this matter, they will inevitably be known as ungrateful people. So I want to first ask if the Sword Manual of Exorcism has such a requirement."

Wang Yuanba said truthfully.

Now that the news of this matter has been spread in the martial arts world with certainty, Yue Buqun absolutely cannot continue to sit idly by and must do something.

Otherwise, if no explanation is given, the rumors may become true.

This is a great damage to Yue Buqun's reputation.

It would even affect his reputation and prevent him from competing for the position of leader of the Five Mountains.

"So, Grandfather, you are worried about these issues. Master Yue is known as the Gentleman Sword in the martial arts world. I think he will definitely not implicate innocent people."

Lin Pingan was immediately relieved.

Wang Yuanba smiled bitterly, shook his head, put his hands behind his back, stood up and said: "Pingzhi, you are still too young and don't know enough about this world."

"Grandfather, what do you mean by that?"

Lin Pingzhi was stunned and looked astonished.

Wang Yuanba sighed and said earnestly, "Pingzhi, the Lin family is in this state now. You are the pillar of the Lin family. You must learn to grow up as soon as possible. Today I will teach you a lesson. When you are in the underworld, the most important thing you cannot believe is rumors. People in the underworld call all names false. You can only believe 70% of them. You must be 30% vigilant about anyone and anything."

"Because people who can make a name for themselves in this world are definitely not as simple as they appear. People who are not ruthless will have a hard time surviving in this world."

Wang Yuanba said solemnly.

Lin Pingzhi also listened carefully, then clasped his fists solemnly, "Thank you for your guidance, Grandfather. I understand now. I will be more careful when I travel in the martial arts world in the future."

"It's good that you know. Now that the Lin family has encountered a great disaster, you are the only male who can bear this responsibility, so you must grow up."

Wang Yuanba patted Lin Pingzhi on the shoulder.

"Yes."

Lin Pingzhi nodded heavily.

"But now I just hope that Yue Buqun won't think that this matter came from us, otherwise it might cause some trouble."

Wang Yuanba sighed softly, full of worry.

"Grandfather, no matter what, Yue Buqun is a famous figure of his generation, and he shouldn't arbitrarily accuse someone of a crime. Otherwise, wouldn't he be no different from Zuo Lengchan?"

Lin Pingzhi comforted.

Wang Yuanba just shook his head, his mood still heavy, "I hope so. When people reach different positions, their ideas and methods of doing things will change. When you reach that step one day, you will understand."

"Okay, go back and continue to take care of your father. But if you have a chance, remember to find out what your father has to say about the Sword Manual of Exorcism."

Wang Yuanba warned.

"I understand. I will."

Lin Pingzhi immediately nodded solemnly to show his agreement.

But after he left, Wang Bofen couldn't help but ask, "Dad, do you think Pingzhi really doesn't know, or doesn't want to say it?"

"He seems to have been practicing hard in the mansion these days. I am worried that Zhennan has already taught Pingzhi the Sword of Exorcism. If the rumors are true, then Pingzhi is also..."

Wang Bofen said with a worried look on his face.

Then he quickly said, "I am also thinking about Pingzhi. If Pingzhi has any problems, it means that the Lin family will be extinct."

Wang Bofen looked worried.

"Well, your worry is not unreasonable, but we can't control this matter after all. I believe Lin Zhennan will not do this. Don't worry, Pingzhi should be fine. The most urgent thing now is to think about what if..."

Wang Yuanba comforted.

"I hope so."

Wang Bofen sighed and nodded.

On the other hand, after Lin Pingzhi returned, he was also worried.

"Such rumors in the martial arts world may not be groundless. It seems that he has indeed obtained the sword manual I left behind."

Lin Pingzhi muttered to himself.

Only he himself knows best that all this is very likely true.

And castration is also true.

Therefore, Lin Pingzhi knew that the recent rumors in the martial arts world were not false.

The only thing that puzzled him was why the requirement of castration of one's own body in order to practice the Sword Manual of Exorcism had spread.

Since it was Yue Buqun who obtained the sword manual, there was no way he would reveal this secret.

After all, if the news gets out, it will not do you any good at all, but will instead cause criticism or even ridicule.

Just like now.

Everyone in the world was talking about it, and they were all curious and suspicious about it.

Whether it is true or false, it will be a heavy blow to Yue Buqun's reputation.

As strong as Dongfang Bubai is, he is already the best in the world, but everyone only fears him and does not respect him.

This is because Dongfang Bubai originally came from the Demonic Sect.

If you are a master of the righteous way who is famous throughout the world, then such ridicule will come to you many times more.

"No matter what, I must master the Sword Manual of Exorcism as soon as possible. Only strength is the only way to win."

"Like that guy!"

Lin Pingzhi thought of Lin Pingan.

Lin Ping'an has gained such a reputation today because of his great strength.

It is also because of his overwhelming strength that he can sit firmly on Mount Tai. No matter what happens in the world, it is difficult to cause any attack or impact on him.

It is because of Lin Pingan’s role model.

Lin Pingzhi pursued strength so much that he was willing to pay such a heavy price for it.

However, he did not see any possibility of catching up with Lin Ping'an, instead the gap was getting bigger and bigger.

This made Lin Pingzhi feel extremely painful.

After paying such a price, not only did he fail to catch up with the opponent, but the gap became wider and wider. Wasn't this price paid in vain?
After all, this price is irreversible.

There is no use regretting it.

Even the torture is repeated every day.

His mind and body were tortured at the same time.

Almost crazy.

……

at the same time.

Yue Buqun appeared in Luoyang with several disciples and went straight to the Wang family.

After Wang Yuanba received the news, he immediately stood up solemnly and called everyone to go out to greet them.

"Dad, Yue Buqun is really here. Will he come to call for punishment?"

Wang Bofen said with a worried look on his face.

Wang Yuanba shook his head and said, "Let's go meet the person first."

Wang Bofen didn't say anything more after seeing this.

Not long after, Yue Buqun was warmly welcomed by the Wang family.

"Master Yue, you are finally here. My daughter and son-in-law have received a lot of kindness from Huashan, especially Master Yue. If Master Yue had not stepped in, I am afraid that my daughter and son-in-law would have died at the hands of Yu Canghai and Mu Gaofeng. I am very grateful."

"What's more, my daughter and son-in-law have been bothering me for a long time in Huashan, and I am worried about how to repay them. Now that Sect Leader Yue has finally come, they must stay in Luoyang for a few more days, so that my Wang family can show their gratitude and fulfill their hospitality."

Wang Yuanba clenched his fist and said solemnly.

His expression was sincere.

Yue Buqun was still gentle and polite, and said with a smile: "Master Wang, you are too kind. I will help those who are injustice. Since this happened to me, I can't just sit back and watch. Speaking of which, Chief Escort Lin was seriously injured in Huashan. It was my fault for not protecting him well. I should apologize to Master Wang and Chief Escort Lin. By the way, I wonder how Chief Escort Lin is recovering recently?"

Yue Buqun asked with a smile on his face.

"Thank you, Master Yue, for your concern. After treatment, I have recovered a lot. Thanks also to Lady Ning and Young Master Lin. Otherwise, my daughter and son-in-law would have had a hard time coming back, and we would not have received treatment from the genius doctor Ping Yizhi. Otherwise, the situation would have been even more serious."

Wang Yuanba said with gratitude.

There was no sign of any previous worry he had about Yue Buqun.

"This is all as it should be. What's more, Ping An is the adopted son of the Lin family. Our relationship should be even closer."

Yue Buqun's eyes flashed and he said with a smile.

Soon the group came to the hall and sat down.

"I wonder what Sect Leader Yue is doing in Luoyang this time? If there is anything you need help with, please feel free to tell me. Although my Wang family is not as big as Huashan, we are still well-known and capable in Luoyang."

Wang Yuanba said with a smile.

"Thank you, Master Wang. I was passing through Luoyang this time and thought of Chief Escort Lin, so I came to visit him. I wonder where Chief Escort Lin is?"

Yue Buqun asked curiously.

Go straight.

It was indeed a good reason after all.

Lin Zhennan and Mrs. Wang both lived in Huashan, so it was natural for him to say this.

"So that's how it is. I want to thank Master Yue for his concern on behalf of my son-in-law. He is fine now. I have asked someone to bring him out. It won't be long before Master Yue can see him."

Wang Yuanba said with a smile.

"That's good."

Yue Buqun nodded slightly.

Not long after, Lin Zhennan appeared in a wheelchair pushed by a maid.

"Is Master Yue here? I am Master Yue, your prodigal son. Please forgive me for my inconvenience in walking and cannot pay my respects to you."

Lin Zhennan said excitedly while sitting in a wheelchair.

Now he could only see some blurry images with his eyes, which were not clear at all.

"Captain Lin, you are too kind. I came to Luoyang specially to visit you. I hope you are in good health recently. You must not be careless. As for the big gift, don't mention it directly."

Yue Buqun immediately stepped forward and shook Lin Zhennan's hand, sighing.

"Master Yue, what are you talking about? Master Yue saved my family. I will never forget this. How can Master Yue not be worthy of this great gift?"

Lin Zhennan, however, looked determined.

Only after Yue Buqun's consolation did he calm down.

"Seeing that Chief Escort Lin is safe, I feel relieved. I just hope that Chief Escort Lin will not blame me. I am really ashamed to let Chief Escort Lin suffer such poisonous injuries in Huashan."

Yue Buqun said with a sad face.

"Master Yue, you must not do this. This is all fate. Moreover, that Mu Gaofeng came for me. I was able to save my life thanks to the help of Master Yue and Huashan. I can't thank you enough."

Lin Zhennan said with a bitter smile, "Besides, my legs are useless, so it's useless to have these eyes. It's better to not be able to see. It's peaceful."

After these words were spoken, the whole audience fell silent.
