In the 16th year of Chongzhen, the world was in chaos.
The Northwest suffered from successive droughts, and the people had to exchange their children for food. They were suffering, and corrupt officials were still wantonly looting the people. The officials forced the people to rebel, and hundreds of thousands of people became bandits. Among them, Roaming King Li Zicheng was the most powerful.
There were nursery rhymes in the streets praising Li Zicheng, the king of the journey." In the morning, I seek promotion, in the evening, I seek harmony. Recently, it is difficult for the poor to survive. I opened the door early to worship the king of the journey. I taught everyone, big and small, to be happy." There were also " Eat his mother, eat his mother, eat endless king of the journey, do not work, do not pay food."
All of a sudden, many of the citizens rose up in revolt. The King of Roaming, Li Zicheng, had taken down many of the Ming Dynasty's strongholds with his thunderous might. His fame was unparalleled, and he seemed to have swept the world.
The civil strife continued, and there were even foreign invasions. After Yuan Chonghuan and Sun Chengzong died, Ji Liao no longer had any generals to defend. Huang Taiji was waiting for an opportunity to lead his army south.
The Darming Dynasty that was plagued by internal and external troubles was like a broken house in a storm. It was swaying in the wind and rain, and it would collapse with just one more straw.
Shandong, Shiqiao Town.
In the largest inn in town, a young man sat alone, sipping wine and eating. There were four dishes and one soup on the table, as well as a pot of high-quality Nu 'er Hong.
White brocade from Suzhou, a priceless folding fan with golden light flowing around it, exuding a cold air, and a white jade pendant hanging from the end of the fan. If one looked carefully, one would find that the word 'Bai' was engraved on the pendant, and there was a jade flute on the jade belt at his waist. Just from his attire, one could see that he was of extraordinary background, either rich or noble. What was even rarer was that he was elegant and refined, with a bit of a scholarly air. He was completely different from the barbaric men in black and gray clothes around him.
Anyone who walked into the shop couldn't help but look over. Some were speechless, some wanted to make friends, and some even looked like fat sheep with evil thoughts in their hearts.
This elegant young master was none other than Bai Yifeng, who had not stepped into the martial world for more than ten years. It was strange that he looked to be in his twenties even though he was already in his forties. Bai Yifeng himself did not know if it was because he was really not old or because of the Internal Martial Arts.
The inn was noisy, and many Jianghu people had gathered.
At this moment, a voice shouted,"Waiter, please arrange three first-class rooms for us."
Bai Yifeng looked over. Three men and one woman walked into the inn. The one who spoke was a middle-aged man. They also brought ten heavy boxes. The four of them had just entered the inn when two middle-aged men glanced at them coldly. They muttered and immediately left the inn.
The girl said in a low voice,"Hey, dummy, we're being watched."”
Bai Yifeng stared at the girl and felt a sense of familiarity.
That girl was too similar to the two people he knew. These two people were Xia Xue Yi and Wen Yi.
Without thinking much, Bai Yifeng's IQ of 249 quickly determined who the girl was.
Wen Qingqing
After confirming Wen Qingqing's identity, the dark-skinned young man beside her was Yuan Chengzhi.
The Roaming King Li Zicheng was so powerful that all the people in the world thought that they had found a wise ruler who could pacify the troubled times. Li Zicheng raised his arms and shouted, and the people who responded gathered.
The Divine Sword Immortal Ape Mu Renqing had been famous for decades, but his title as the number one expert in the world was gone because of Bai Yifeng. His disciples were all extraordinary. The Gui Xin Shu couple had been in the martial world for more than 20 years and had become the leaders of Jiangnan's martial arts world.
At this moment, Yuan Chengzhi had already found the treasure left behind by Jianwen Emperor in the Duke of Wei's residence. He was just about to send this priceless treasure to the capital and hand it over to Li Zicheng. As for the person who was with him, it was Mute who had grown up with him.
As the world changed, Bai Yifeng smiled and reminisced. He took a sip of wine and stared at Wen Qingqing.
Wen Qingqing glanced at Bai Yifeng with surprise in her eyes. Then, she turned around and spoke to Yuan Chengzhi in a low voice. He took a few more glances and saw that Bai Yifeng was still staring at him. He frowned and whispered into Yuan Chengzhi's ear,""That person has been staring at me, he definitely has bad intentions."
Yuan Chengzhi looked at Bai Yifeng. The corners of Bai Yifeng's mouth curled up and he smiled at him as a greeting. Yuan Chengzhi didn't know him either. Over the years, other than practicing martial arts and playing chess with Mu Sang occasionally, only Mu Renqing would occasionally talk to him about sword techniques. As for the rest of Huashan, he didn't have the mood to pay attention to them.
Yuan Chengzhi saw that his smile was kind and did not have any ill intentions. He smiled back and said to Wen Qingqing in a low voice,""That person is dressed luxuriously and has a humble attitude, he doesn't look like a strong person of the tribulation path. You're overthinking it."
"That's right. The little girl's thoughts are evil. It's not good.”
"Ya! Are you a human or a ghost?!" Bai Yifeng, who was just diagonally opposite them, suddenly came to their table, scaring everyone at the table. Yuan Chengzhi immediately looked at him warily. What brilliant martial arts, I actually didn't notice it at all.
"It's broad daylight, don't talk about ghosts." Bai Yifeng laughed.”
Wen Qingqing leaned towards Yuan Chengzhi and said,""Who said ghosts? I was talking about you just now, but now…"
" Sister Qing, please don't be rude. I haven't consulted you yet." Yuan Chengzhi stopped Wen Qingqing and cupped his hands.
Wen Qingqing rolled her eyes at Yuan Chengzhi." What's there to ask? He's so fair and clean. I can tell he's not a good person. This lecher, he he…" Her face turned red, but she could not continue.
Yuan Chengzhi came to a sudden realization and chuckled,"Sister Qing may have misunderstood. Please forgive me, Young Master."
"There's no misunderstanding. She's right. I've been looking at her just now.”Bai Yifeng's eyes didn't even move. He was still staring at Wen Qingqing.
Wen Qingqing rolled her eyes at Yuan Chengzhi." Hmph, I'm not going to talk to you anymore. If you're not willing to help me vent my anger, then I'll dig out his eyes myself." After she finished speaking, she stared at Bai Yifeng. However, there was no one in front of her. Everyone was shocked again. They looked around again, but that person had returned to his previous seat.
After Wen Qingqing found Bai Yifeng, she forgot about his mysterious abilities and walked towards him.
Yuan Chengzhi was shocked and said anxiously,"Sister Qing, you can't!"
However, there were many thieves around him, so he did not dare to be careless. He hurriedly instructed his two followers before rushing over.
Wen Qingqing snorted coldly and sat down. Yuan Chengzhi cupped his hands at Bai Ziyang and smiled apologetically. He never let down his guard and said," Sorry to disturb you, Senior."”
Wen Qingqing looked at Yuan Chengzhi and said,"You called him senior?" Then she looked coldly at Bai Yifeng,"Who are you? Why do you want it?"
"Do I have to keep staring at you?" Bai Yifeng even winked at her. Wen Qingqing blushed.
"Miss is naturally beautiful, but you can't be considered a peerless beauty." Mm, just like a lotus flower bun waiting to be filled. It's not a scholar's dish. Relax."
Bai Yifeng's straightforward words caused Wen Qingqing's face to turn red and white. In her impulse, she waved her wrist. With a swoosh, a sword light flashed, and the short sword in her hand was already out of her body, stabbing towards Bai Ziyang's eyes.
No one had expected Wen Qingqing's sudden attack.
Bai Yifeng and Wen Qingqing were sitting face to face. The distance between them was too close. He wanted to lend a helping hand, but it was too late.
Yuan Chengzhi couldn't help but sigh in his heart. That person probably couldn't keep his eyes anymore.
Unexpectedly, just as the short sword was about to hit Bai Yifeng's eyes, the True Qi around Bai Yifeng's body surged and formed a transparent white screen. A thick force blocked the tip of the sword. With two crisp cracking sounds, the sword broke into three pieces and fell to the ground.
Wen Qingqing was stunned.
Yuan Chengzhi looked at Bai Yifeng in horror.
He was extremely talented in martial arts and had deep internal strength. However, compared to the person in front of him, it paled in comparison. The other party's power and incredible means that he had displayed in a flash were truly shocking. Yuan Chengzhi even thought that even his master, the Divine Sword Immortal Yuan Mu Renqing, could not compare to him.
There was actually such a person in the martial world!
In the inn, whether it was the powerful spies who came to rob the path or the ordinary people who walked the martial world, they were shocked when they saw this unbelievable move. They were all stunned and speechless.
Wen Qingqing stared blankly at Bai Yifeng and said in shock," You, you…"
Bai Yifeng sighed and shook his head,""His martial arts are too weak. He can't even protect himself, but he still swaggered through the streets. Your father was poisoned with such martial arts. Let alone you."
Wen Qingqing pointed at Bai Yifeng in exasperation and said,"Who are you? What right do you have to lecture me?”Then, he reacted and said,"You know my father?"
Yuan Chengzhi cupped his hands and said again,"I am Yuan Chengzhi of Huashan Mountain. May I ask for Senior's name?"
Bai Yifeng smiled and nodded,"Your kung fu is not bad. My surname is Bai. More than ten years ago, people called me Master Bai. Your master must have mentioned me.”
Wen Qingqing's big eyes looked at him."Master Bai? Which Master Bai?"
Unlike Wen Qingqing, everyone in the inn looked at Bai Ziyang in shock. Those who had been eyeing Bai Yifeng earlier could not help but tremble. One of the Jianghu tycoons muttered to himself," He looks so similar. He hasn't changed at all."”
Yuan Chengzhi shook his head and quickly went forward to greet him.”
Bai Yifeng nodded.
"Dummy, why are you calling him Martial Uncle? Is he famous?"
Yuan Chengzhi was speechless. You still have the cheek to call me a fool like this. He whispered in her ear,"He's Master Bai, the one who slaughtered 3,000 Manchurian soldiers in one night more than 10 years ago. He has been cultivating in the back mountain of our Huashan Sect all these years. This is the first time I've seen him!”
Bai Yifeng looked at the dumbfounded Wen Qingqing and his mischievous interest rose. He pretended to be displeased and said,"I'm not very famous, but I have some friendship with your father. Speaking of which, you should call me Uncle Bai.”
Wen Qingqing sneered and said coldly,""You're playing tricks. How can you be Master Bai at your age? Humph, you're using the name of your ancestors to deceive others. You can deceive anyone, but you want to deceive me?"
Master Bai appeared in the martial world more than ten years ago. When he first entered the martial world, he killed countless bandits. He was so arrogant that he didn't hide his whereabouts. Many martial world people were unhappy and started to kill him. However, he was killed and the whole martial world was scared. Then, Master Bai's name started to spread in Jianghu. The last time he appeared, he killed an entire military camp in Manchuria and killed 3,000 soldiers. He replaced Mu Renqing as the No.1 Master in the world.
The limelight was unparalleled. However, many years had passed, and the martial world had already undergone earth-shaking changes.
The new generation replaced the old. The event that shocked the Ming Dynasty and the killer Master Bai that scared the Jianghu people had disappeared in the sand. Even though some people remembered it, no one talked about it anymore.
Bai Yifeng smiled, stood up, and was about to leave.
Wen Qingqing immediately blocked Bai Yifeng's way and asked,""You're not allowed to leave before we make things clear."
"Explain what?"
"About my father."
"I don't have a deep relationship with your father, but I still owe him a favor. Prepare the coffin and send it to the Wen family in Shiliang!”As soon as he finished speaking, he had already disappeared in front of everyone. Before he left, he even knocked Wen Qingqing on the head!
