Sword Roaring in the Sky

Chapter 121 Hundreds of years ago, martial artists all thought so

Sun Yanwan was somewhat resistant and said, "As a martial artist, why should I take the imperial examination to become an official?"

Kong Chan chuckled and said, "Hundreds of years ago, all the martial artists thought so."

"I can be free and unfettered, laugh at the wind and moon, and enjoy the world. When I feel bored, I can travel all over the country. When I feel quiet, I can retreat to famous mountains and ancient temples. Isn't that beautiful?"

"But those scholars always feel that there are too many warriors in the martial arts world, who often use force to break the law and affect the court's jurisdiction. They repeatedly make suggestions and try to deceive the emperor to ban the use of force throughout the world."

"There was even a previous dynasty that sent troops to burn down the Shaochan Temple..."

"From then on, each family and faction believed that the voices of the Jianghu should be heard above the court, and they focused on cultivating the seeds of learning."

Kong Chan said leisurely, "I am not very talented, but I have won the second place in the imperial examination once and hold a high position in the court. Otherwise, how could I be the one to preside over next year's imperial examination?"

"No matter how high your martial arts skills are, you cannot sit in the examiner's seat."

Sun Yanwan thought about it and realized that the martial arts world in this world was very different from the martial arts novels on Earth. The Xuanming Taoist was even the Southern Xia State Master, the court was full of martial arts masters, and all the major sects were good at business...

It seems that there is nothing wrong with him going for scientific research.

Monk Kongchan drank a few glasses of wine and on a whim found a wall in He's house. He used his fingers to write the poem that Sun Yanwan had just recited on the brick wall, but changed "half because of my cultivation and half because of you" to "half because of my study of Buddhism and half because of you".

After writing this poem, the monk laughed out loud and walked away in a leisurely manner. It was obvious that he had let go of some of the burden in his heart and felt a little relieved about his disciple's wedding.

Lu Huangshan and Yan Renxiong were fine, but all the Emei female disciples in the room had eyes full of admiration, and some of them even had eyes full of admiration.

Sima Ziyan was really afraid of these junior sisters. After eating her own little brother, she smiled and said, "Master Kongchan is really cool."

"Brother Yan Wan, if you take the imperial examination next year, please let me know. My Sima family has a house in the capital that I can lend to you to study."

Sun Yanwan agreed, but she had a firm idea in her mind that she would try not to go to the capital if possible.

After all, Luo Jing has Yang Diao'er, and just as Lu Huangshan casts a shadow on him, he also has a shadow on Yang Diao'er.

Although Sun Yanwan's martial arts skills have improved rapidly and he has reached the fifth level, he is only in the middle fifth level and still has some time to accumulate before reaching the fourth level.

There are twenty to thirty qualities in total, such as hitting acupuncture points from a distance, splitting with palm power in the air, leaping three feet with lightness skills, and external hard skills such as being able to mold gold and iron like mud. If one has one or two of them, he can be called a fourth-level martial artist.

For example, the fickle Sun Jiaojiao and the playboy Tu Que'e, although they are both veterans of the fourth level, Sun Jiaojiao's only decent skill is lightness skill, while Tu Que'e can use the palm power to split the air, but he needs to concentrate and gather energy for a long time before he can use it, which is extremely difficult to use in actual combat.

If the two of them could strike acupuncture points at will through the air, and could launch palm strikes at will, then Sun Yanwan would definitely not be able to win no matter how much he took advantage of the right time, place and people.

However, although the ability to strike acupoints from a distance and to use the power of splitting palms in the air are the characteristics of the fourth level, not many people in the fourth level can do it.

In the afternoon, the Nian family sent someone to deliver a letter saying that the wedding would be postponed for a few days. Not long after, He Youzhen came back with a very satisfied look on his face.

When he saw that there were guests, he ordered someone to prepare a banquet and invited Lu Huangshan to stay. Yan Renxiong and the women of Emei stayed.

Originally, the Nian family had arranged for their food and lodging, but everyone was well aware of what had happened to the Nian family in the past few days. At that time, there were many guests from Yongzhou City, and the inn was short of rooms, so they only briefly declined before agreeing to stay at the He Mansion for the time being.

When He Youzhen saw the female disciples of Emei, he casually asked, "Why are Miss Sun and Miss Nanmeng not here? Isn't Miss Nanmeng's eighth sister also an Emei disciple?" After saying this, Sun Yanwan felt a little embarrassed. Of course he knew that little Nanmeng and Sima Zi Yan were "sisters", but he didn't want the sisters Nanmeng and Sima Zi Yan to meet!
Lu Huangshan was a man of connections after all, and he was a little afraid of Sun Yanwan. Although he knew about this, he never mentioned it. In his mind, Sun Yanwan was not only a scumbag, but also a butcher!
It’s not a big deal to cheat on the two beauties of Emei!

It's much better than the Sun family holding a grudge against him for being too talkative, lying in ambush somewhere, and secretly giving him the Xuanbing Treasure Mirror.

Yan Renxiong didn't know about this. Although he saw Sun Yanwan with Sun Lingdie and Namco last time, this time he saw him and Sima Ziyan acting like brother and sister. He didn't understand Sun Yanwan's complicated relationship between men and women, so he tactfully didn't mention it.

Sima Ziyan was slightly surprised and asked, "Is Junior Sister Nan Meng here too?"

He Youzhen looked at Sun Yanwan's murderous eyes, laughed, and said, "I heard he's coming!"

He Youzhen felt a little uneasy, thinking to himself, "I just watched the excitement of the New Year's Rhino Photo, but it's not enough. I want to see if Junior Brother Sun can come up with something new."

"Junior Brother Sun doesn't seem to like it!"

"Let's not talk about it for now."

Lu Huangshan pretended to know nothing. Yan Renxiong finally realized what was happening and thought to himself, "Nian Xizhao has seven or eight close female friends. If this were to become a public spectacle at his wedding, it would already be a source of deep jealousy."

"Why is Sun Yanwan coming too?"

"How many does he have?"

"This grandson is targeting Emei, right?"

"Nun Tulong is not someone you can get along with..."

When several Emei disciples heard that Namco had also arrived, they were extremely excited.

Although Sima Ziyan was a senior sister and also came from an official family, her father was an incorruptible official and didn't have much money. Namco Gong was the eighth sister of the Namco family, one of the five great Jianghu families. She was usually very generous to her sisters, with all kinds of things, such as rouge, powder, gold and silver jewelry, weapons and hidden weapons, and even clothes...

All of them are top quality products and are given away every year.

Because of this, the female disciples of Emei became more affectionate towards this Junior Sister Nanmeng, and many of them wanted to go out and look for her, and bring Nanmeng Palace to He Mansion as well.

Sima Zi Yan was sharp-minded and slightly noticed the subtle changes at the table. She had just solved a big problem at home and returned to the mountains to practice meditation for a while before coming down the mountain. She had never heard any rumors about her brother Yan Wan and junior sister, and she did not suspect Sun Yan Wan for a while.

Sun Yanwan knew that she couldn't play dumb. One lie would inevitably require countless lies to cover it up. It would be better to tell the truth first and then try to make amends. She immediately smiled and said, "I forgot a lot of things when I saw Sister Sima. I haven't had time to tell you yet."

"Some time ago, my master sent me to hunt down the Northern Yan horse bandits, the Blood Wolf Riders, and I captured hundreds of fine horses. It would have been a shame to throw them away. Coincidentally, the Seven Clans Martial Arts Competition had just ended, and I made friends with several aristocratic families. We joined forces to form the Sky Horse Gang and started a cargo transportation business."

"Now Nan Meng's eighth sister..."

"Indeed, it is also in Yongzhou."

Sun Yanwan's expression remained unchanged throughout the conversation.

The three men present were all filled with admiration, and all of them secretly said, "This fellow's ability to lie with his eyes open is truly unparalleled in the world, and he's a real genius."
