Starting with the divine power of the Great Vajra, he traversed the heavens.

Chapter 72 One Donkey Cart and Three People
The twilight was thick and hazy.

On the grassland, dusk deepened, wild grasses stretched endlessly, dancing in the wind, while a new moon hung in the sky, a scene of utter desolation.

On this godforsaken land, the grass was as tall as a person, and it should have been a place where not a rooster crowed for miles around. But just then, a song came from afar.

"Outside the long pavilion, along the ancient road, fragrant grasses stretch to the horizon."

This is a woman's voice, clear and bright like the cry of a phoenix. She is not very old, but surprisingly energetic.

"The evening breeze caresses the willows, the flute's melody fades, the setting sun shines beyond the mountains."

This is a male voice that ran away; it sounds rather silly.

"Heaven, the edge of the sky," another male voice was about to join in, but was swept away and couldn't find his way back.

Ren Shaoyang, who was driving, became furious and turned around, shouting, "Broken hand, it's always you who's off-key!"

Ding An was sitting on the roof of a donkey cart, with a crescent moon above his head, looking at a calligraphy book in one hand.

"Hey cripple, I think you sang pretty well!"

"Good my ass!" Suddenly, the little beggar in the carriage cursed, "You stinking broken hand, I can tell you're deliberately singing off-key so you can see the cripple make a fool of himself."

"I, I didn't!" Ding An was stunned, his eyes darting around.

"No?"

With a whoosh, the curtain of the donkey cart was lifted, and a little beggar, wearing a floral jacket and with his hair in a bun but looking much thinner, poked his head out with a stern face.

"Severed hand, I'm finding you to be getting worse and worse!"

Ding'an scratched his head and chuckled, "Little beggar, you've wronged me."

The beggar, with his arms wrapped around his neck, sneered: "Dare you look me in the eye when you speak?"

Ding An looked left and said, "Oh, just kidding."

Just then, Ren Shaoyang's playful voice suddenly rang out behind him: "Little beggar, remember this, not only can't you trust beautiful women, but you can't even trust seemingly honest men!"

"Yes, I know!" Hongxiu replied with a smile.

Ding An's expression changed, and he was about to beg for mercy when suddenly he felt a numbness in the "Tianzong" acupoint below his shoulder blade, and a surge of powerful true energy rushed into his body.

He was startled and shouted, "Crippled man, what are you doing?" Just as he was about to turn around, Ren Shaoyang changed his fingers into claws and pinched his waist, instantly sealing several major acupoints.

Ding An was unable to move an inch and was thrown straight down to the driver's seat by Ren Shaoyang.

Just as he was about to fall like a log, all the pressure points on his body suddenly released, and he slowly floated down, landing perfectly in the driver's seat.

Then Ren Shaoyang laughed and said, "Ding'an, drive carefully, I'm going to take a nap!"

Ding An nodded, then asked, "Crippled man, which way do we go?"

Ren Shaoyang pointed to the west and said, "Go straight, we're going to Kunlun Mountain."

"Kunlun Mountains?" Hongxiu murmured, then her eyes lit up. "Is there a great treasure there?"

“There’s no treasure,” Ren Shaoyang laughed. “But there’s a group of villains gathered here.”

"Ugh! What's so interesting about villains?"

Hongxiu was immediately disappointed. She shrank back into the carriage, took out her magic knife, and continued carving a wooden throwing knife. All sorts of throwing knives had been carved around her, each with beautiful lines and a suitable size.

Ren Shaoyang said, "That place is called the Valley of Villains. It contains the most wicked people in the world, as well as the best doctors and the strongest people!"

The next day.

The weather was clear and bright, a vibrant blue that had cleared away the clouds. At the edge of the sky, a vast grassland stretched as far as the eye could see, and a gentle breeze blew, making it gallop across the blue sky and green grass.

Just then, a horse neighed.

In the distance, a boy was seen riding a white horse, running happily.

He was a very handsome young man with a cynical expression and a mischievous smile on his lips.

But if someone takes advantage of his youthful appearance and tries to bully him, then he'll be in big trouble.

Because he came from the Valley of Villains, he learned all the tricks of the villains there. He not only surpassed his teachers but also outwitted them, which is why they expelled him from the valley.

This child is none other than Little Fish.

At this moment, he was alone on horseback, traversing the vast grassland.

Little Fish opened a huge package, which was full of the valuables of those unscrupulous merchants who wanted to cheat him.

He casually picked up the gold and silver jewelry, looked at it, smiled, and then threw it far away.

And so, he kept throwing things as he ran.

After throwing away one bundle, he opened the second bundle with a grin. Inside was a lot of gold leaves. Little Fish laughed and said, "Come on, look at the golden wind!" As he spoke, he threw the leaves far away.

In an instant, a strong wind blew, carrying the golden leaves away into the distance.

In the distance, a one-armed youth dressed in a black robe was urinating.

As I was shivering, I suddenly looked up at the sky and was stunned to see the golden leaves fluttering everywhere.

"Clam?"

Ding An never expected that while he was relieving himself, he would see a handful of gold leaves flying overhead. He immediately pulled up his pants, channeled his powerful internal energy, and soared into the air like an angry falcon.

He seemed to drift through the air like wisps of smoke, laughing loudly, "Eh di, eh di!" as he gathered all the gold leaves into his arms.

After landing, Ding'an, for convenience, kept kneading with one hand, and with the burst of fire energy, the golden leaf was instantly kneaded into a golden egg.

"Ha, if that little beggar saw this golden egg, wouldn't his eyes pop out?"

Ding'an was very happy, remembering what Ren Shaoyang had said.

You're missing out if you don't pick up money when you go out!

Just then, the sound of horses' hooves rang out. Ding'an looked up and saw a young man riding a white horse approaching.

The boy was very handsome, possessing a wild charm. Although he had a scar on his face, it didn't detract from his carefree and dashing good looks. Ding'an took a liking to Xiaoyuer at first sight.

As Hongxiu once said, people who smile often are always lucky.

For example, himself, and the universally loved Hongxiu.

"Hello, young man!" Ding An greeted him, holding up the golden egg.

Little Fish looked the one-armed youth in front of him up and down.

Looking at his bright and simple smile, she asked with a grin, "Big brother, you're amazing! You collected all my gold leaves with one hand and even melted them into an egg!"

"Oh my, is this yours?" Ding An was surprised for a moment, then strode over and naturally handed over the golden egg. "Here you go."

Little Fish's eyes widened as he asked, "You don't want it? It's worth a lot of money!"

Ding An smiled and said proudly, "The cripple and the little beggar once said that I'm lucky and can find money wherever I go, so I'm not short of money." He looked at the boy, "Besides, this is yours, so it's only right that I return it to its rightful owner."

"A cripple? A little beggar?" Little Fish murmured with a smile, "What a strange name."

Ding An laughed and said, "It is strange, but we are used to it."

Little Fish looked at Ding An's sincere smile, then glanced at Golden Egg, and tilted his head.

"Big brother, this golden egg is yours. If someone sees me carrying such a big thing, I'm sure I'll be dead."

Ding An thought for a moment, then said, "It does look a bit big." As he circulated his inner energy, the fist-sized golden egg shrank, eventually turning into a golden bead.

"Hey, it'll be more convenient for you to carry it with you now."

Xiaoyuer was astonished by Ding'an's powerful internal energy, but looking at the gold bead in front of him, he still shook his head: "Compared to gold, life is naturally more important. Big brother, you're a good person. You don't lack money, and neither do I. Here, take this!"

Seeing that he was determined not to accept the gold beads, Ding'an stopped arguing, stuffed the gold beads into his pocket, and asked, "Young brother, I still don't know your name."

Little Fish chuckled: "Big Brother, what are the rules of the martial arts world? Can you tell me first?"

Ding An smiled and said, "My name is Ding An, and I'm a swordsman. What about you?"

Little Fish made a swimming fish gesture and said with a grin, "My name is Little Fish, a free and unrestrained little fish!"

"Little Fish?" Ding An repeated it a few times, then laughed, "Your name sounds a lot like Little Beggar's. When you meet her later, I guarantee you'll like her!"

"Really?" Little Fish asked. "Where is she?"

"The lame man is driving the donkey cart; the two of them will be there soon."

As the two were talking, suddenly the sound of horses' hooves came from afar.

Then a young man in white rode up on horseback. The young man had a handsome face, and although he was full of anger, he was unexpectedly cute.

This young woman was none other than Tie Xinlan, the daughter of "Mad Lion" Tie Zhan.

She came to this place not for anything else, but to find her father. However, she was being hunted down because she possessed the "Southern Heaven Treasure Map".

When Xiaoyuer saw Tie Xinlan arrive, he clapped his hands and cheered, "What great riding skills...so beautiful!"

Tie Xinlan stopped in front of him and said coldly, "Enough with the nonsense, give it to me!"

Little Fish asked curiously, "What are you going to take?"

Tie Xinlan sneered, "Still playing dumb? Where are the things you stole?"

Little Fish pouted: "I found it too troublesome, so I threw it away."

Tie Xinlan was furious: "Lost? Are you kidding me?"

Little Fish crossed his arms and said, "I don't need it, so of course I'll throw it away!" He chuckled as he spoke, "If you don't believe me, you can ask Brother Ding'an next to me."

Tie Xinlan then turned to Ding An, who had been watching the show, and asked, "Brave man, is what he said true?"

Ding An scratched his head and said, "I, I didn't see it! But I did see him scattering gold leaves."

Little Fish chimed in, "Those gold leaves were turned into gold beads in this brother's hands!"

Ding An nodded and took out the gold bead from his pocket.

Tie Xinlan was speechless.

The appearance of this golden bead means that Little Fish has really thrown away his gold and silver treasures.

At the same time, she saw that the fingerprints all over the surface of the golden bead were obviously made by the one-armed man named Ding'an. His internal strength was truly astonishing!

Tie Xinlan snorted: "You have to pay for those things that are lost!"

Little Fish asked, "Are you here to uphold justice?"

Tie Xinlan shouted, "Of course! I can't let you go astray at such a young age, so naturally I have to come and save you!"

Little Fish smiled slightly: "You, not only are you making me struggle with this, but you also have to be a chivalrous hero, helping people recover their lost property, and even saving me?"

Tie Xinlan frowned: "What, is it not allowed?"

Xiaoyuer glanced at Ding'an, who had a gossipy expression on his face, and then slowly said, "You came to the border alone, not to do business, nor to have fun. You must be trying to escape someone's pursuit!"

As Tie Xinlan's expression changed drastically, Xiaoyuer confidently said, "So, what I meant when I said you were still arguing with me was that you should run, or your pursuers will be here soon!"

"Wow!" Ding'an exclaimed approvingly, "Little Fish, you're so smart, just like Little Beggar!"

Little Fish raised an eyebrow and said slyly, "Really?"

"Who, who exactly are you?" Tie Xinlan, her secret exposed, glared fiercely and shouted, "What is your background?"

Little Fish smiled, just as he was about to tease her again.

Suddenly a clear voice rang out: "Him? He's no ordinary person. He's the little devil from Evil Valley!"
