"Xu Yan, what exactly happened?”Li Hao asked calmly.
" This, this…" Xu Yan's lips moved as he stammered, as if he didn't know where to start.
"Tell me the truth." Li Hao frowned.
Xu Yan secretly raised his head and glanced at his senior brother. Seeing that his senior brother's brows were almost knitted together, he was also very afraid. He hid his hands behind his back and hesitated. After sorting out his thoughts, he slowly told the truth.
"Yesterday, during the horse race, one chased and the other chased. The three of them arrived not long after. Outside Jiangsu City, we rested for a while, but we still couldn't see Senior Brother. So, so Junior Brother Wang Yan suggested that we go in and take a look first. Jiangsu is very lively. After walking around for a while, we suggested that we go outside the city to look for Senior Brother. At this time, Senior Sister saw a big monk showing off. Oh, he was performing martial arts, which caused the crowd to exclaim. Senior Sister was also attracted by these strange tricks. I forgot the time." As Xu Yan spoke, he stole a glance at Li Hao. Li Hao's expression was calm and indifferent."Continue."
"Later, after the monk finished his performance, he saw that Senior Sister was modest and eager to learn.”
"Humph, what do you mean by being modest and eager to learn? You don't have to find excuses for her. Even if you don't say it, I know that she lost her soul when she saw something strange.”At this moment, Li Hao suddenly said coldly, interrupting Xu Yan.
"We couldn't hide it from Senior Brother's eyes, so the monk sold us a tattered book, saying that it was some martial arts secret manual. We were coaxed by the monk and believed it, so we bought it.”
"Sigh, little benefactor, how can you say that you're lying? This is clearly a matter of mutual consent.”The monk suddenly shook his head while biting his steamed bun. He couldn't help but interrupt.
"Hmph, shut up and eat your steamed bun. Show me your martial arts secret manual.”Li Hao then turned to look at Xu Yan and the other two, only to see Ying Shan and Wang Lin in the distance. They were extremely embarrassed and didn't dare to look at him in the eye. At this moment, Xu Yan took out a yellowed sheepskin book from his pocket. Before Xu Yan could say anything, Li Hao snatched it over. The book was old and yellowed, and it was also stained with dirt. It looked like it was quite old. There were a few wrinkled words carved in ancient language on it, and they were a little blurry. If one looked carefully, one could vaguely see the words 'Great Cloud Sword Technique'.
Li Hao casually flipped it open and saw the contents of the book. He couldn't help but frown.
[Condition 1: The person who cultivates this sword scripture must have a godly understanding and application of sword techniques.]
[Condition 2: To cultivate this sword scripture, one must sever all of one's meridians in order to succeed.]
[Condition 3: Only…]
The words of the third condition had been completely buried by the soil. Even if one used a stroke to break the soil, it would still be blurry. This sword technique could not exist at all. If one's application of sword techniques had already reached a godly level, what was the use of cultivating it?
Furthermore, those with broken meridians would definitely die, so how could they cultivate it?
Seeing Li Hao's sharp gaze coming straight at him, the big monk couldn't hold it in any longer and hurriedly stood up to explain.
Junior Brothers and Junior Sisters couldn't help but be curious when they saw something new. After all, it had something to do with staying in the sect all year round. Although they were too playful and caused trouble, it wasn't a big deal. In the end, they lacked experience. They cultivated in seclusion all year round and were simple-minded. When they encountered swindlers and silkpants, they lost their composure.
"How much did you cheat them of?" Li Hao asked coldly.
"Aiya, little brother, this is really not a lie. Although I have never cultivated this sword technique before, and the cultivation conditions written in the book are extremely harsh, I have paid a considerable price to obtain it. Since it is a sword technique, it must have the extraordinary power it should have! It's just that no one has dug it out." The monk tried his best to explain, afraid that this barbarian in black would suddenly attack again.
"I don't care about that. That's your business. If I follow your words, I'll write an invincible sword technique. However, this cultivation method is impossible and unheard of. No one in the martial arts world can cultivate it.”Li Hao said unhappily.
"Sigh, forget it, forget it. You have a sharp tongue and are savage. It's really unfortunate for me to meet you. How about this? I'll return you half of the silver and I don't want this sword technique.”The monk sighed and looked pitiful. As he spoke, he reluctantly took out a banknote from his luggage. He glanced at it and slowly handed it over.
"Ha!" Li Hao sneered when he saw the banknote."You sure have a big appetite. You actually sold a useless sword scripture to my junior sister for two hundred silver taels.”
"A rare commodity is worth hoarding. If you really succeed in cultivating it, it won't just be two hundred taels of silver. We're all people in the martial world who came out to make a living. Don't be so ruthless.”The monk wanted to cry but had no tears. If someone didn't know, they would really think that Li Hao and the others were ferocious bandits.
"Get lost, get lost, don't disturb our mood. Brother Li Hao, don't get angry over a hundred silver taels. Now that we've found your junior brother and junior sister, why don't we have a good drink and have a good time, don't spoil our mood.”Louis, who was at the side, finally couldn't hold back when he saw this. He waved his paper fan and slowly smiled.
"Fine, you can go now. Brother Louis, I'll give this sword technique to you.”After saying that, Li Hao threw the sheepskin book in his hand to Louis and walked straight towards Wang Lin and the others.
Seeing this, the monk heaved a sigh of relief and took the opportunity to leave dejectedly.
The few of them sat around a large round table. Due to Li Hao's previous impression of everyone's ferocity, there were no ignorant people who came to cause trouble.
Li Hao placed the Blue Water Sword on the table, sized up everyone, and nodded.
"I hope that you can learn from this incident. That monk's martial arts skills are slightly higher than yours. If he tries to play any evil tricks, I'm afraid that you won't be able to return alive. Although there are many things that can only be understood after experiencing it, I don't wish for you to lose your lives because of this. Yingshan, especially you, go out and reflect on yourself. Master and Master's wife only have you as their daughter. They love you very much. Before they left, they repeatedly reminded me to keep an eye on you. If something happens, how am I supposed to explain it? We've wasted a lot of time in Jiangsu. The sooner we get rid of those bandits, the sooner we can return to our sect.”
Li Hao said in a deep voice. Finally, his gaze stopped on Louis. He paused for a moment and continued,"This is Brother Louis. It's all thanks to him that I managed to find you.”
Hello, Brother Lu, I'm Wang Lin." The thin young man poured a cup of wine and raised it,"Shixiong's brother is my brother. Come, let me toast you.”
