Travel through the heavens

As Chen Taisheng told his story, Fang Muye finally came to understand the martial arts world of this world.

Nowadays, there are numerous martial arts sects in the world, and Jianghu forces are prevalent. There are several of them in Mount Tai alone. Among them, the most powerful one is not the Dongyue Sect, but the Shan Family.

The Shan family is based in Shanjia Village. The head of the family is also the owner of the village, named Shan Zheng. Because he hates evil all his life, as long as he knows that there is any injustice in the world, he will definitely intervene, so he got the name "Iron-faced Judge".

Shan Zheng himself was already very skilled in martial arts, and he had five sons. He also recruited many disciples, totaling more than 200 people. The name "Shan Family of Mount Tai" was feared by everyone in the martial arts world.

When Fang Muye heard "the Shan Family of Mount Tai" and "Shan Zheng, the Iron-faced Judge", he felt a sense of déjà vu. And after Chen Taisheng mentioned familiar words such as "Shaolin", "Beggars' Sect", "Qiao Feng in the North, Murong in the South", "Duan Family of Dali", and "Yipintang in Western Xia", Fang Muye had no idea where he was.

Mr. Jin's masterpiece of martial arts, "The Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils".

The martial arts world of the Tianlong era can be said to be the heyday of gold-based martial arts. Various magical skills and secret manuals appeared, including the world-famous "Eighteen Palms of the Dragon Subduing", the "Six Meridians Divine Sword" that uses sword energy to hurt people, the "Little Wuxiang Gong" that can imitate hundreds of martial arts, the "Divine Art of the North Sea" that absorbs people's internal energy for one's own use, and so on.

When Fang Muye learned that he had come to this world, the first thing he thought of was these magical skills and he wanted to learn them.

Among the many magical skills, the easiest to obtain are definitely the "Northern Divine Art" and "Lingbo Weibu" which are buried under the Wuliang Mountain and no one cares about. However, Fang Muye does not know whether the plot has already begun at this time, and whether Duan Yu has already obtained these two skills, so he has no way of knowing for sure.

Besides, the journey from Mount Tai to Mount Wuliang is thousands of miles away, and it is very troublesome to go back and forth. It would be better to go to the Langhuan Jade Cave in Mantuo Villa in Suzhou first, learn the "Xiao Wuxiang Gong", take a look at the martial arts classics collected there, and then go to Wuliang Mountain to try your luck.

If "Northern Divine Art" and "Lingbo Weibu" are still there, just learn them directly. If they are not there, find a way to get them from Duan Yu.

The next day, Fang Muye said goodbye to Chen Taisheng and headed south. He was exhausted and arrived at the city of Yangzhou at noon.

Entering the city, you can see buildings with flying eaves and pointed corners, and people coming and going. It is very prosperous and lively, with a unique Song Dynasty style.

Fang Muye was walking leisurely when he suddenly smelled a fragrance that was very attractive. He followed the fragrance and saw a big restaurant standing on the street. The golden sign read "Zuixianlou". He had just walked for a long time and wanted to rest his legs, so he walked in.

As soon as you enter the restaurant, the aroma of wine and meat hits your nose, and the sounds of shouting and talking fill the air.

Fang Muye had received the money from Chen Taisheng as a parting gift, and had already changed into elegant clothes, looking extraordinary and unworldly. Immediately, a waiter came over to greet him warmly, and led him to the second floor, where he sat down at the railing by the side of the building.

At this time, there were already nearly ten tables occupied on the second floor. Some of them were occupied by people carrying swords and sabers, looking rough and sturdy, like people from the martial arts world. When Fang Muye came up, their eyes all turned to him.

Fang Muye seemed unaware of it. When the waiter brought a pot of wine and four signature dishes, he leaned against the railing and drank by himself, looking at the hundreds of boats competing for the current on the Grand Canal outside, with the water and sky merging into one color. He felt extremely relaxed and comfortable, just like a young man out for fun.

After drinking three more glasses of wine, he heard footsteps on the stairs. Four men came up, holding sticks, wearing old cloth robes, and each of them had four to six cloth bags hanging on them.

Fang Muye could tell at a glance that they were disciples of the Beggars' Sect.

After the four Beggars' Sect disciples sat down, they ordered a few plates of cooked meat and two large jugs of wine, then began to eat and drink without saying a word.

People in the martial arts world are not particular about trivial matters, and do not follow the principle of "don't talk while eating or sleeping". There are several tables of martial artists sitting upstairs, and they are naturally talking loudly, making it very lively.

Not long after, a big man with thick beard slapped the table and shouted at the tall and thin man opposite him: "The two owners of Juxian Manor, Youji and Youju, are hospitable and generous. All the people in the martial arts world who pass by are willing to make friends with them. They are dedicated to everything they ask for. They are very much like Mengchang. How can they not be considered heroes?"

The tall and thin man hurriedly smiled and explained: "Brother Cui, please don't be upset. That's not what I meant. The two heroes of the You family are certainly heroes. I just said that their martial arts are not very good."

Brother Cui asked indignantly, "Their martial arts are not very good, but are your martial arts, Xu Linsong's, very good?"

Xu Linsong immediately looked embarrassed and said nothing.

A man in green at the table next to them couldn't stand it, so he smiled and said, "Brother Cui, I think what Brother Xu said is not without reason. The two heroes of the You family are unparalleled in their righteousness, but when it comes to martial arts, they are indeed not very good. There are many eminent monks of the Xuan generation in Shaolin Temple, who are well versed in Buddhism and have outstanding martial arts. They are not comparable to the two heroes of the You family."

Shaolin Temple is famous and has produced many masters. Brother Cui twitched his lips twice and said nothing more, which was regarded as his tacit agreement with what the man in green said.

People in the martial arts world naturally have great interest in the things happening in the martial arts world. The debate among these three people on "Who has the best martial arts skills in the martial arts world" immediately sparked everyone's interest in talking.

Everyone spoke freely and listed the people in the martial arts world who they thought had great martial arts skills. Some of them were highly recognized by everyone, while others were controversial.

Amidst the clamor, a pair of young girls in their teens suddenly spoke in a tender voice, "You are now in Jiangnan, how could you not mention Master Murong of Gusu? Master Murong is both civil and military, and he is a man who "gives others what they have done to him", and who in the Jianghu doesn't fear him."

When she talked about Young Master Murong, her face was full of smiles and her eyes were full of autumn water. It was obvious at first glance that she admired and loved Young Master Murong.

One person responded, "It is said in the martial arts world that 'Qiao Feng in the north and Murong in the south' are the heroes of the Central Plains. These two are the most recommended. Mr. Murong is a martial arts expert, so of course he is the best."

The four Beggars' Sect disciples had not participated in the discussion. When they heard this person's words, one of the fourth-generation disciples couldn't help but ask, "Can Murong Fu be compared with our leader?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the only six-bag disciple glared at him, then clasped his fists towards the people on the second floor and said with a smile: "Master Murong is as famous as my gang leader, and we, the Huazi, also admire him very much."

A man in his forties sitting on the west seat saluted the four Beggars' Sect members and said, "My friends from the Beggars' Sect, I am calm and polite. Your Sect Leader Qiao is both wise and brave, and he is extremely heroic. He and Master Murong are both outstanding men. Who wouldn't admire them?"

The woman who just spoke ignored the dissuasion of the elders around her and said unconvincedly: "I think Master Murong is more powerful."

Her words were like a ignited fuse, sparking a heated debate among those present.

Some say that Qiao Feng is better, some say that Murong Fu was more successful, and some say that the two are equally good.

Hearing the endless debate, Fang Muye drank a glass of wine and smiled softly, "In this martial arts world, only the names of 'Qiao Feng in the North and Murong in the South' are spread, which is to underestimate the heroes of the world."

Although his voice was soft, it was very clear in the noisy second floor, and no one could fail to hear it. The group of martial artists who were arguing with each other in the heat of the moment stopped immediately and all looked at him.
