Dog Brother transmigrates into Lin Pingzhi: The Tai Xuan Scripture suppresses all nations
Chapter 18 Shocking Change
Fuzhou, the coastline at the mouth of the Minjiang River.
The sound of the tide lapping against the shore, the night fog thick.
Suddenly, a strange movement occurred on the sea surface. A dark shadow slowly rose from the water and began to move towards the shore.
As the tide came in, the dark figure remained motionless, resolutely heading towards the shore.
Before long, the dark shadow rose higher and higher, getting closer and closer to the shore. It turned out to be a person, a person leaning on a long knife.
This person actually walked up from the bottom of the sea step by step.
The man's black clothes were soaked through, and he carried nothing but a knife he held in his right hand. The scabbard gleamed coldly, and the blade was long and narrow with a slightly curved tip, unlike anything found in the Central Plains.
Once his feet were fully out of the water, the man leaned on his knife, looked back east, and saw the rolling waves and endless darkness in the distance, which seemed to be about to swallow him up.
After staring for a while, the man suddenly burst into curses: "Hidden Mist and Hidden Moon, you filthy old woman! You're really that old devil's good dog, going to heaven and earth to force me to jump into the sea."
At the height of his anger, he raised his long sword with both hands and slashed down fiercely. Before the sword was even drawn, the wind from the blade had already split the oncoming wave in two.
"But you would never guess that even the ocean can't drown me. I am the chosen one."
"And I finally arrived in that person's hometown."
The man's narrow eyes swept towards Fuzhou City behind him, his gaze intense. He then turned and strode towards the shore.
---------------------------
Fuzhou City, Fuwei Escort Agency.
This was the fifth day since Yu Canghai fled Fuzhou.
Once the news of the battle between Fuwei Escort Agency and Qingcheng Sect spread, Fuwei Escort Agency's reputation soared, rivaling that of Lin Yuantu during his lifetime, and shocked the martial arts world of Southeast China.
Upon hearing the news, all the surrounding gangs, bandits, and outlaws dared not underestimate him anymore.
In the past few days, they have been preparing generous gifts to visit each other, either sending visiting cards to express their willingness to form an alliance or presenting precious treasures to show their submission.
In no time, the area in front of the security escort agency was bustling with activity, with a constant stream of guests coming and going. Even the bluestone threshold at the main entrance was almost worn down by the constant footsteps.
These people were respectful on the surface, praising Chief Escort Lin for his skillful management of his household and Young Escort Lin for his extraordinary talent, but in reality, they all knew what was going on.
All I wanted was to see with my own eyes the young镖头 (bodyguard/escort) who, according to rumors, had crippled the Qingcheng Sect Leader with a single move.
Let's see what extraordinary abilities this young man, who has appeared out of nowhere, possesses.
At first, Shi Potian patiently showed his face and bowed to those who came to pay their respects, just like in his story with the Chang Le Gang back then.
But the constant stream of guests disturbed the peace and quiet, and eventually, people found it increasingly annoying.
So he found an excuse and every day at the crack of dawn, he would take the two old镖头 (bodyguards) Shi and Zheng, along with their hunting dogs and bows and arrows, to hunt in the mountains outside the city.
I didn't return until the sun was setting, and then I went to Laudenau's hotel for a treat, enjoying a leisurely and peaceful time.
Laudenau and Wan'er had naturally left long ago.
Before he left, Wan'er waited for him on the rooftop again.
That day was the Spring Equinox, and the spring breeze rippled the surface of the pond.
Wan'er smiled radiantly, showing no sign of having come to say goodbye. Shi Potian stood facing Wan'er.
"Miss Wan'er, why do you always like to wait for me on the rooftop?"
Wan'er said slowly, "The higher you stand, the farther you can see, making it easier to find you."
Shi Potian was skeptical, because not everyone possessed the Tai Xuan Scripture and could discover her immediately.
"I'm leaving now. Since you love wine, it's a shame to throw away my hotel. I'll give it to you. There's still some unsold wine inside."
"If you don't like it, just throw it away," Wan'er said calmly.
Shi Potian was overjoyed and quickly said, "No problem, it's such a waste to throw it away. I'll go to the hotel for a treat after I come back from hunting wild game with Chief Escort Zheng and the others."
In Shi Potian's memory, he had lived in the mountains for a long time, often hunting and cooking. If there was such a hotel, that would be wonderful.
Wan'er glanced at him sideways: "I'm glad you don't mind. I'll be going now if there's nothing else."
After saying that, he turned around and made a move to leave.
Shi Potian was still daydreaming about his future hunting and drinking life. Wan'er paused, then asked, "Don't you have anything to ask me?"
"No, my dad said he's going to open a security escort agency in Shaanxi someday. I'll go to the Huashan Sect to have a drink with your senior brother then."
Wan'er snorted and jumped off the roof.
Wan'er had previously intended to invite Shi Potian to Hengshan to participate in the Golden Basin Washing Hands Ceremony, and to get to know fellow martial arts practitioners.
Shi Potian was very tempted, but Lin Zhennan and his wife did not agree, so he had to give up.
Lin Zhennan and his wife had reservations, the Qingcheng Sect had ulterior motives, and the Huashan Sect's various actions made it difficult to fully trust them.
Both sides tacitly refrained from pursuing the matter further, thus naturally disagreeing with Shi Potian's decision to accompany them.
Furthermore, the Fuwei Escort Agency is now incredibly powerful, and no one in the Southeast martial arts world dares to provoke it. It is on the verge of firmly establishing itself as the dominant force in the Southeast.
It's a done deal that a branch will be opened in Sichuan, the hometown of the Qingcheng School.
Fuwei Escort Agency is experiencing unprecedented prosperity.
In the world of martial arts, rules and decorum are paramount. Since Liu Zhengfeng had not sent a formal invitation to his retirement ceremony, there was no reason for the Fuwei Escort Agency to rush over.
That day, Shi Potian and his group returned from hunting and drinking. As soon as they arrived at the entrance of the escort agency, they sensed something was wrong.
From afar, various cries and shouts could be heard, creating an extremely heavy atmosphere. The bodyguards and escorts all looked grief-stricken, yet gritted their teeth.
Upon entering the escort agency, they saw many family members of the escort leaders and guards weeping and wailing, wondering what terrible thing had happened.
When Chief Escort Shi questioned one of the guards, he learned that the Qingcheng Sect had taken down the Hangzhou branch, killing all the escorts and guards without exception. Their cruelty and ruthlessness were appalling.
Upon hearing that the Qingcheng Sect had committed such a heinous act, Shi Potian was shocked and furious, and hurriedly went to the backyard to ask Lin Zhennan for details.
Lin Zhennan was discussing the aftermath with Madam Wang. In addition to compensation, the members of the escort agency were indignant and clamored for the Qingcheng Sect to pay for their blood debt.
Lin Zhennan must give an explanation, otherwise the escort agency's promising situation will be ruined, and it will be unable to gain a foothold in the martial arts world.
Besides that, there are more pressing matters.
Shi Potian arrived just in time; Lin Zhennan was about to discuss something with him when he grabbed his hand:
"Ping'er, you've come at just the right time. The Qingcheng Sect targeted our Hangzhou branch with extremely ruthless methods; not a single person present at the branch escaped their clutches."
"If it weren't for a bodyguard who was out on business at the time, I'm afraid there wouldn't even be anyone to deliver the message."
Shi Potian asked in surprise, "Yu Canghai is seriously injured, how could he still do such a thing? Shouldn't they be in a hurry to treat and recover from their injuries?"
Madam Wang explained, "Ping'er, if you count the days, the attack on the Hangzhou branch should have happened before Yu Canghai was injured, not by these Qingcheng Sect disciples who came to Fuzhou."
Shi Potian was still puzzled and asked, "Why would they do this? Did the Hangzhou branch offend them?"
Lin Zhennan shook his head: "The messenger said that the Hangzhou branch has no dealings or grudges with the Qingcheng Sect, yet they suddenly came knocking on our door. They even ransacked our place, looking for something."
Shi Potian asked, "If it's not targeting the Hangzhou branch, could it be that other branches have also been attacked?"
