Maoshan World: The young marshal starts!

Chapter 258 Shi Shaojian's Trouble

After settling down at Leiyun Temple.

Guan Shaoqing then secretly took out a money bag and handed it to Shi Shaojian. It contained about two hundred silver dollars.

"Senior Brother, you can't accept this."

Shi Shaojian was both surprised and delighted when he saw the money bag Guan Shaoqing handed him. His eyes were shining with enthusiasm, but he was also a little embarrassed. After all, he couldn't accept a reward without doing anything in return, and he didn't seem to have helped Guan Shaoqing much recently.

"We're all fellow disciples, so just take it. Don't be polite with your senior brother. Use it as you see fit."

Guan Shaoqing said with a smile.

Shi Shaojian is greedy and lustful. If you have money and power, it's easy to win him over as a drinking buddy by spending some money.

Although Shi Shaojian himself is not worth such courtship.

But he has a good father. With a father like Shi Jian, Shi Shaojian's value will skyrocket.

For Guan Shaoqing, who is not short of money now, it is entirely worthwhile to use a small amount of money to win over Shi Shaojian and maintain a good relationship with him.

"Then I thank you very much, Senior Brother. If you have any instructions in the future, please feel free to ask."

Upon hearing Guan Shaoqing's words, Shi Shaojian no longer hesitated and quickly accepted the money bag, expressing his agreement.

"No problem, we're all fellow disciples, let's keep in touch."

"What the senior brother says is true. We are all fellow disciples and should visit each other more often."

Feeling the weight of the money pouch, Shi Shaojian's smile deepened, almost becoming obsequious as he faced Guan Shaoqing, before extending another invitation.

"By the way, Senior Brother, I know a fun place in Pingyang Town. Do you want to go there together tonight?"

Fun places to go?
Looking at Shi Shaojian's face, which was full of romantic feelings.

Guan Shaoqing instantly understood what Shi Shaojian meant by "fun place." Given Shi Shaojian's personality, it was almost certainly a brothel.

However, Guan Shaoqing had no interest in that place. He now had a group of beautiful wives at home, each one a stunning beauty.

With so many beautiful wives and concubines, why would he need to go to such a place?

"I won't go. It's a rare opportunity for me to come here with you and my senior master. I'm going to study hard under my senior master's guidance."

Guan Shaoqing politely declined Shi Shaojian's request.

Shi Shaojian was not disappointed when he heard this. He would be more comfortable having fun by himself if Guan Shaoqing didn't go.

He immediately said, "Since you still want to study with my father, then we'll go together next time. I'll go first this time."

"Okay, but be careful."

"Don't worry, senior brother, I'll be careful. If my dad asks, remember to cover for me."

"no problem."

They received Guan Shaoqing's guarantee.

Without lingering any longer, Shi Shaojian took the money and hurriedly headed towards Pingyang Town outside Leiyun Temple.

After Shi Shaojian left, Guan Shaoqing once again sought out his senior brother Shi Jian and began to learn from him. As the senior brother of Maoshan in the generation of Uncle Jiu, Shi Jian's talent and strength were beyond doubt. You could question his character, but you could never question his strength.

At the same time, Shi Jian was also very strict with his studies and teaching.

But this was not a problem for Guan Shaoqing. He was not concerned about being strict in his teaching, as long as he was willing to teach.

In particular, Shi Jian's expertise and experience in the Lightning Thunder Fist were invaluable to Guan Shaoqing.

Guan Shaoqing's Lightning Thunder Fist has only been cultivated to the fifth rank.

However, Shi Jian's Lightning Thunder Fist had already reached the eighth rank, or even many years ago. If he could take another step forward, he could cultivate the Lightning Thunder Fist to the great perfection and step into the ninth rank.

However, there is a hurdle every four ranks before the Lightning Thunder Fist. It is not easy to break through from the eighth rank to the ninth rank. If you do break through, the resulting increase in strength will be a qualitative change.

Guan Shaoqing stayed with his senior uncle Shi Jian for two consecutive days.

Guan Shaoqing planned to stay one more night before leaving.

But it was the night before Guan Shaoqing was about to leave.

"Um?!"

Under the night.

Shi Jian, who was lecturing Guan Shaoqing, suddenly frowned. "What's wrong, Senior Uncle?"

Guan Shaoqing looked at Shi Jian, who suddenly frowned, with a puzzled expression.

"For some reason, I suddenly felt uneasy."

Shi Jian frowned, saying that he didn't know why, but he suddenly felt uneasy and had a strange palpitation.

I am restless and uneasy.

Upon hearing this, Guan Shaoqing's gaze sharpened. Generally speaking, such a thing would be impossible for someone at their level under normal circumstances. But if it did happen, it would likely be a premonition of something bad, a sign that something unfortunate was about to happen to them, whether it was something bad happening to them or something bad happening to someone important to them.

Has Shao Jian returned?

Shi Jian also realized this and immediately asked.

"It doesn't seem like it's there yet. I'll go to town and look for it."

Guan Shaoqing immediately understood Shi Jian's meaning and quickly stood up, saying that with Shi Jian's current strength, the possibility of him getting into trouble was basically nonexistent, especially since Guan Shaoqing was also present. Therefore, the most likely scenario was that something had happened to Shi Shaojian.

"Okay, you go and look for it first, I'll cast a spell to check it out."

Upon hearing this, Shi Jian nodded and planned to have Guan Shaoqing search in Ping'an Town first, while he would use magic to track them down.

Without hesitation, Guan Shaoqing took to the air and flew towards Ping'an Town.

After Guan Shaoqing left.

Shi Jian immediately set up an altar and began to perform rituals. He first divined the fortune of Shi Shaojian, but the divination coin shattered, indicating a very bad omen.

Upon seeing this, Shi Jian's expression changed drastically, and he quickly performed a ritual to calculate the location and range of the time based on Shi Shaojian's birth date and time.

Guan Shaoqing, on the other side, also arrived at Ping'an Town as fast as lightning.

After searching the entire town of Ping'an, including all sorts of brothels and brothels, they still couldn't find any trace of Shi Shaojian.

Could it be that something really happened to Shi Shaojian?

Is this calamity destined for Shi Shaojian?

In the original drama, Shi Shaojian died because of Qiu Sheng and Wen Cai, which led to Shi Shaojian's heart failure and the deaths of both father and son.

However, due to Guan Shaoqing's influence, the current situation is not as depicted in the original drama where Shi Shaojian was killed by Qiu Sheng and Wen Cai.

As a result, Shi Shaojian has now disappeared again, and Shi Jian also has a premonition.

This also made Guan Shaoqing wonder if Shi Shaojian was destined to suffer this calamity, or if it was his own destiny to suffer this calamity. After all, if something happened to Shi Shaojian, Shi Jian, who only had this one son, would probably have his Dao heart shattered as in the original drama.

Perhaps this really is the calamity destined for the father and son.

As the saying goes, fate, luck, and feng shui are the three factors that determine one's destiny. There are many things that are destined to happen that one cannot avoid; one must experience them at least once.

"Heaven is round and earth is square, laws and decrees are in nine chapters, I now write, and all ghosts and spirits of the four directions and eight directions shall obey my command, go!"

After searching Ping'an Town without finding Shi Shaojian, Guan Shaoqing quickly used magic to summon spirits and generals to search for him.

Meanwhile, on a small path leading to the river outside Ping'an Town.

Two burly men were dragging a burlap sack toward the river. Inside the sack was a person who was making whimpering noises, begging for mercy, but dared not struggle, because he had almost been beaten to death for struggling just now.

Behind the two burly men followed a beautiful young woman with an extremely plump and rounded figure.

The young woman was somewhat frightened by this and looked at the two burly men.

"Why don't we just knock him out and leave it at that? We've already got the money, there's no need to kill anyone else."

“What do women know? This kid has so much money on him and is dressed so well. He must be rich and have an extraordinary background. If we don’t kill him, he’ll tell his family to come after us as soon as we leave. Where will we run then? Only by killing him and making sure there are no witnesses can we leave more safely.”

The burly man at the head of the group snorted coldly upon hearing this.

"Stop talking nonsense, hurry up, throw this kid into the river and then we'll leave this town immediately."

"Woo. Woo."

Hearing the conversation between the three, the person inside the burlap sack could no longer remain calm and began to cry out in terror, begging for mercy.

The person inside the burlap sack was none other than Shi Shaojian. At this moment, he was filled with fear and regret. He should have known better than to touch this strange woman. If he had gone directly to a brothel, none of this would have happened.
