The Smiling, Proud Wanderer: Yue Buqun of Mount Hua

As night fell, Yue Buqun picked up his brush and began to write by the dim light of the oil lamp, recounting the history, achievements, and famous figures of Mount Hua. Of course, his writing was full of praise and exaggeration; as long as it didn't kill him, he would keep exaggerating.

As for people like Xianyu Tong, they will be mentioned only briefly.

Yue Buqun had long realized that The Smiling, Proud Wanderer was a continuation of Jin Yong's martial arts novels, with legends about it in the martial arts world, from Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils to The Return of the Condor Heroes and The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber.

Xianyu Tong, the wicked leader of the Huashan Sect, also existed. However, due to the historical record, Xianyu Tong is only known by his title as the leader of Huashan, with no record of his contributions to the sect. His specific actions and malicious intentions are also not recorded.

I don't need too much, just a thin book with tens of thousands of words would be enough.

As for more, it's not that he didn't want to write, but rather that martial arts sects value strength above all else. The strongest are the most powerful, while those without strength are constantly on the verge of being swallowed up and slaughtered.

Who has nothing better to do than study? There aren't many people who can read. The Huashan Sect, as one of the Five Sacred Mountains Sword Sects and a famous sect in the martial arts world, still values ​​reading the Three Hundred and Thousand Character Classic and requires its disciples to be literate. In contrast, in gangs, martial prowess is paramount; as long as they can kill people, nothing else matters.

It is common to see a gang of over a hundred people gathered together, scratching their heads, unable to understand a letter.

If you write hundreds of thousands of words, this book will most likely end up gathering dust in a library.

"What is Senior Brother writing?"

When Ning Zhongze returned to her room, she saw him writing and asked him with a smile. She then hung the Lady's Sword on the wall and came over to take a look.

Seeing that the ink in the inkstone was used up, she helped him grind ink. She added a small amount of water to the inkstone, gently lifted the ink stick with her delicate hand, and placed it vertically on the inkstone to grind it carefully, round and round.

She held the inkstone in one hand and the hem of her dress in the other to prevent the wide sleeves from falling onto the table. Her expression was focused and her movements gentle. In the candlelight, her fair face was flushed. What a virtuous and beautiful woman!

With a beautiful woman by your side, reading at night becomes a wonderful experience.

Yue Buqun was stunned for a moment, then realized what was happening and almost drooled. He coughed and continued writing, then said, "I am writing the history of Mount Hua. These disciples do not even know the origins of Mount Hua's history. How can they be considered disciples of Mount Hua? By writing the history of Mount Hua clearly, the disciples will know what a glorious history Mount Hua has and be proud of Mount Hua."

He explained his purpose in detail, letting his wife know the situation.

Ning Zhongze nodded, sat opposite him and watched him write the history of Mount Hua, and suddenly said, "I went to see Uncle Feng today, hoping to invite him to come down the mountain."

A long stroke of the pen appeared on the paper, like a dark abyss tearing through the entire sheet. Yue Buqun looked up in surprise: "Why did you think of going to find him?"

"He is, after all, an elder of Mount Hua. In the sword-qi conflict back then, the Qi Sect wronged him, and the Sword Sect was no different. If we can invite him down the mountain, there is hope for the revival of Mount Hua," Ning Zhongze said.

Yue Buqun glanced at her silently. Indeed, the Qi Sect had wronged him, causing Feng Qingyang to hate the Qi Sect.

What about the Sword Sect? On the eve of the Sword Qi War, the Qi Sect specially found him a wife and tricked him into going down the mountain to Jiangnan to get married. When Feng Qingyang learned of this, he packed his bags and went there excitedly, only to find that his wife was a prostitute.

When he stormed back to the mountain, the sword duel on Jade Maiden Peak had already ended, and only a few cats and dogs remained in the vast Mount Hua.

It was indeed the Qi Sect that was deceiving him, but how could he not know anything about the Sword Sect?

It can only be said that both sides tacitly chose to send this guy away, not wanting him to get in the way.

Although Feng Qingyang was a disciple of the Sword Sect, he cared about the entire Huashan Sect, not just the Sword Sect or the Qi Sect.

"How can you go to him? What if he hurts you?" Yue Buqun asked with concern.

"Uncle Feng has been living in seclusion on Mount Hua for over twenty years. If he truly had such intentions, how could you and I have survived? Besides, if I could exchange my life for his change of heart, I wouldn't care."

Yue Buqun remained silent. As expected of Ning Zhongze, she acted with method and discipline. Although she was a woman, she was more courageous than any man, daring to pay her respects to Feng Qingyang without fear of death.

Of course, the most important reason was that she was certain that Feng Qingyang would not target a weak woman like her, rather than being reckless and impulsive.

"What did he say?"

"Uncle Feng is very sad and refuses to return. However, with him at Mount Hua, we may be able to recruit more disciples and revive Mount Hua as soon as possible."

"We'll talk about this later. I feel that I'm about to break through in my Yangwu Sword Technique. I'll recruit disciples after that."

Ning Zhongze looked at him in surprise and nodded in agreement. She hadn't expected that his swordsmanship could still improve after he was injured by his martial uncle.

Waiting for a while is also fine. Without a master to oversee things, it would be useless for Mount Hua to recruit too many disciples.

Everyone knows that Huashan needs a large number of disciples to regain its peak, but she dares not. Without experts to guard it, too many people would easily attract the attention of the Demonic Sect. If the ten elders attack Huashan, who can stop them?

Without top-tier experts to oversee it, temporary prosperity is nothing more than a castle built on the beach.

Instead of dwelling on that, I quietly discussed with him how the history of Mount Hua should be written, how to let the disciples know about the history of Mount Hua, and how to enhance their identification with the sect.

…………

The following day, Yue Buqun rose at the crack of dawn to continue practicing his swordsmanship, preparing to improve his strength in the shortest possible time and perfect the Yangwu Sword Technique. Only then would he be unafraid to face Zuo Lengchan and have the confidence to say no to the Five Mountains Alliance.

He practiced again and again, believing that hard work always pays off, and he was extremely interested in it. Or perhaps it was a case of the Four Sisters of Mount Hua waiting for him, and he was determined not to become one of them.

Practice for ten minutes at a time, twelve hours a day, and you can master the Yangwu Sword Technique in just forty-two days. If you find that too slow, you can increase it to sixteen hours a day, which will only take thirty-one days, or a month.

He doesn't lack the motivation of a liver.

Who isn't a hardcore gamer?

Every day thereafter, Yue Buqun practiced his sword on the high platform, improving day by day. He could sense that someone was watching him from behind, but Yue Buqun seemed oblivious, continuing to wield his sword.

Laudenau is just an undercover agent. The most terrifying thing about an undercover agent is that no one will discover him. When he is discovered, he can be easily eliminated. The reason we haven't taken action is that we keep him around because he is useful. Sometimes it is not bad to use him to pass on some messages that need to be passed to Songshan.

In the story, the original owner of this body used him to transmit incorrect information, which led Zuo Lengchan to misjudge and ultimately lose to Lao Yue. Otherwise, even Lao Yue, who was known for his skill in cutting chickens, would have been wary of one of the three great masters of the righteous path.

On this day, Yue Buqun sheathed his sword and looked at the Yangwu Sword Technique on the panel (Mastery 3000/3000). He only needed to practice it one more time to break through and further improve his strength.

After a brief silence, he did not break through directly, but instead used his light footwork to gracefully leave. He did not want outsiders to know about this.

He believed that if Laudenuo knew today, Zuo Lengchan would know tomorrow. One should always keep some cards up his sleeve and not let others figure out his secrets.

As Yue Buqun thought to himself, he lightly touched the ground with his toes and landed gracefully on the treetop. His feet pressed down on the treetops, causing them to bend slightly. His body swayed with the breeze, but he did not fall.

He possessed profound internal strength. Although he was not skilled in light-body techniques, his internal strength made him equally extraordinary. With just a little leverage, he could stand on the treetop without the risk of falling.

Feeling the gentle breeze on his face, standing atop a treetop and looking down at the surrounding forest beneath his feet, he felt a great sense of exhilaration. Who wouldn't want to become a martial arts master and transcend the mundane world?

He then took a step and covered a distance of two zhang (approximately 6.6 meters), landing on another tree. He moved freely between the treetops, step by step, despite the steep terrain, cliffs, and deep ravines.
