Transcending Heavens: Starting with the Ancient Tomb Sect

In the mountain village.

"Is something wrong with this?"

Yue Que looked at the messy things in his hands. It was the first big operation he and Xiaolongnu had undertaken after deciding to form a new Ancient Tomb team.

They walked the grand road, spoke of chivalry and justice, and did things that were truly gratifying.

Therefore, on their way to Xiangyang, Yue Que and Xiaolongnu were choosing targets for chivalrous acts while simultaneously practicing their martial arts.

That means balancing work and life.

He was incredibly diligent.

at the moment.

This was the reward Yue Que and Xiao Longnv received after completing a righteous act of chivalry.

What lies before us is the spoils of this operation to wipe out a band of mountain bandits who were robbing people on the road.

There were few copper coins, but quite a few rusty iron coins. There were even many tattered pieces of paper among them. After studying them for a while, Yue Que finally realized that these were the so-called paper money, also known as Jiaozi.

But it doesn't look very good; it's even worse than toilet paper.

"..."

Yue Que subconsciously scratched his head, a subconscious action that people take when they encounter difficulties.

"Is there a problem, Xi Xuan?" Xiao Long Nu was very puzzled by Yue Que's behavior, since he rarely showed such signs in the ancient tomb.

Xi Xuan?

Who are you calling?

Oh, it's me!

Yue Que was taken aback at first, not realizing who Xiaolongnu was referring to. After regaining his senses, he realized that she was referring to him.

Obviously.

Xiaolongnu had already gotten into character, treating it like a game. Now outside the Ancient Tomb, free from the influence of the Jade Bed, and with Yue Que able to resolve the Jade Maiden Heart Sutra issue, Xiaolongnu was even more human.

Even if it's not a female ghost, it's still like a fairy descending to earth.

In fact, she pays great attention to small details.

This is a huge problem!

At this moment, Yue Que suddenly remembered his identity. Just as others would describe Xiaolongnu, who had never left the ancient tomb, as ignorant of the world, Yue Que could be described in a way as having the same evaluation as Xiaolongnu.

Since he was old enough to understand things, he was sent to Zhongnan Mountain before he was even four years old and became a registered young Taoist priest.

During his twelve years of cultivation, apart from occasionally visiting the small town at the foot of the mountain to buy things with spare silver, he spent most of his time on Zhongnan Mountain.

He approached his studies with the same mindset as preparing for the college entrance examination, devoting himself to the arduous task of mastering the fundamentals of martial arts and the Daoist canon, all in preparation for the future.

Yue Que even studied medicine with other senior disciples and elders in the Quanzhen Sect.

Because medicine and medicine are inseparable.

To persuade someone to study medicine is to be struck by lightning, but medicine and Taoism should be studied together...

Therefore, in Yue Que's mind, apart from what he had learned and mastered, many of the things that existed were common sense for a transmigrator.

In the days following his emergence from the ancient tomb, the first unusual thing Yue Que noticed was the issue of prices.

Things are fine at the foot of Zhongnan Mountain, but things in other places are too expensive.

This is inflation.

Therefore, the actual price of some things is much higher than the normal price.

Little Dragon Girl didn't understand much, but Yue Que did.

He immediately thought of the current situation: the Mongols were invading from the south, and signs of war were brewing. The common people, living near the battlefield and close to the threat of war, felt this more acutely than anyone else.

During this process, Yue Que and Xiaolongnu first killed a few not-so-great evil spirits and heretics, looted their corpses and seized their property, thus subtly spreading the fame of the SHE group.

Then the two chose a larger one—it was said to be a mountain stronghold that robbed people on the road.

Because they were stopped in their path.

Can this be tolerated?

He, Yue Que, and Xiaolongnu had just learned the Nine Yin Manual!

Then, *smack!*

The two men effortlessly subdued the strongest members of the stronghold.

After conquering the mountain stronghold and subduing the group of men, women, and children, Yue Que began to regret his actions.

They were so poor, so poor it was heartbreaking, so poor it brought tears to my eyes.

There were only a few pieces of paper, rusty iron coins, and less than ten copper coins. As for broken silver, there were none at all.

If this mountain stronghold didn't rob people on the road, the entire village would probably be starving.

Fortunately, there was a good variety of wild animals on the mountain, along with some fruits and miscellaneous fish, so it was passable.

Is this considered robbery?

If word got out, other real bandits would laugh at me.

"Tell me about it."

"What exactly is going on here?"

Facing the kneeling bandit leader, Yue Que's tone was not very patient. His impatience was not only because he had worked for free, but also because he had seen the group of people he had encountered before harboring uncontrollable evil thoughts towards him and his companion during their confrontation.

Unfortunately, this wicked and unorthodox practice had barely emerged and hadn't even had a chance to become corrupted before it was extinguished by him and Little Dragon Girl.

At this moment, the eyes of the bandit leaders were crystal clear, and they were trembling with fear.

They realized that they had encountered a so-called martial arts master.

The older, middle-aged man at the head of the group, with skin as thick as tree bark, was under Yue Que's piercing gaze.

"These two are a rare golden couple, lofty heroes; how could they possibly know anything about the lives of us commoners?"

Praise, disdain, helplessness, and resignation all blossomed on the bandit leader's face as he cautiously recounted the problems and misfortunes of his stronghold.

After their conversation, Yue Que fell silent, while Xiaolongnu asked in confusion, "Then the government won't do anything about it?"

The other person didn't answer, but just gave me a look that said, "You're an idiot."

Yue Que: "..."

The story is nothing special; it's just a normal scene before the arrival of chaos.

That was merely the plea for survival of ordinary people amidst internal and external pressures.

Beset by internal and external troubles, this was already the scene of the dynasty's twilight years.

The difference in perspective between looking at the big picture from the small and looking at the small from the big is truly vast.

Who is Yue Que?

He is a traitor to the Quanzhen Sect and a direct descendant of the Ancient Tomb Sect, which is why Yue Que cannot stand him!

In a very bad mood, Yue Que took out all the money he and Xiaolongnu had obtained from looting corpses while doing chivalrous deeds, and then put it on the ground.

Ignoring the change in the expression of the middle-aged man at the head of the group, Yue Que pointed to a young man kneeling behind him and turned to Xiaolongnu, saying, "That person is suspicious!"

"!"

With a sharp look in her eyes, Xiaolongnu, already feeling uncomfortable from being looked at like a fool, released a golden bell and silver rope from her sleeve, which jingled as it struck the other person directly in the chest.

Amidst the spray of blood flying upwards, the young man was sent flying through the air by the golden bell, his chest caved in, and he had already lost his breath before hitting the ground.

at the same time.

The Quanzhen sword that Yue Que had obtained from Lu Qingdu was also drawn from its sheath.

With a flick of his wrist, he unleashed his inner strength, and with a clang, the scabbard shot out, striking directly at the chest of an elderly man kneeling beside him, whose expression had drastically changed.

puff--

As he spat out blood, fragments of broken internal organs flew out. The older man, who looked fairly decent, left a long trail of blood on the ground before crashing into the young man's corpse and then dying beside him.

The scabbard bounced back.

Clang!

He returned the sword to its sheath.

With a flick of his wrist, the sword spun in front of him before Yue Que held it horizontally behind his back with his left hand.

"Excessive indulgence breeds malice!"

Do you think I'm blind?

"To die by my hand is your good fortune!"

Yue Que's eyes showed disdain, but what truly made him decide to kill was the change in the expressions of the men, women, and children who were stunned by the attack.

Ants, refugees, troublemakers, mobs.

Often, the difference is only a hair's breadth.

To unite scattered civilians into a passable mountain stronghold, aside from subconscious banding together, a shared goal and violence are often the most suitable means.

And what happened in that time is easy to imagine.

Xiaolongnu might not care because she doesn't care, and as long as she is praised and made happy, she might even think that he is a good person, but Yue Que would not.

This was the first time Yue Que had killed someone.

This sudden change completely startled everyone else present.

"Take care of yourself."

"We'll come back to visit when we have time."

"Don't disappoint people, otherwise I have plenty of strength and means."

After saying that, Yue Que took Xiaolongnu's hand and the two walked down the mountain.

"May I ask how we should address these two perfect people?" the middle-aged man asked loudly as Yue Que and Xiaolongnu were about to walk out of the mountain stronghold.

"Xi Xuan (White Dragon)".

Yue Que and Xiaolongnu paused slightly, then simultaneously uttered their code names before continuing their stroll down the mountain.

When they came down the mountain, the master and his apprentice were poor again.

But at that moment, he felt a great sense of satisfaction and joy.

That was a rare moment of relaxation after all the scheming.

Internal matters are internal, and external matters are external; they are two different things.

Where is the hero?

There aren't that many true heroes; even if there are, they can only take care of their own small territory.

But being a martial arts master is really awesome.

He can stand on moral high ground and lay hands on others.

So strike when the time is right.

We need him to come.

He, Yue Que, had just learned the Nine Yin Manual!

Compared to Yue Que's mindset, the events of these past few days have brought Xiaolongnu a completely different experience.

If Yang Guo had been chosen that day, their relationship would probably have ended tragically.

Because Yue Que had cultivated the Quanzhen internal energy for twelve years and thus chose him, at this moment, although Xiaolongnu was fighting and scheming against him to seize control, she was also experiencing a life she had never seen in the Ancient Tomb.

In Xiaolongnu's eyes, this was all just a game. Everything was merely an extension of the game that existed between the two of them inside the ancient tomb.

So this martial arts world—

It's so interesting and so much fun!

So, after some time, with the help of two naive masters and disciples who had just learned the Nine Yin Manual, a huge case shook the martial arts world in a short period of time.

Not only were the martial arts practitioners in the Song Dynasty shocked, but even those in the Mongol martial arts world were utterly astonished.

That means the million taels of silver in Xiangyang's treasury were stolen.
