A dark villain came to Jinting Bulaoxiang

He thought, there are countless types of Kung Fu in this world. Just like what people often say, using softness to overcome hardness is a clever strategy, where seemingly weak force can dissolve strong attacks; using speed to overcome slowness, extreme speed can catch the opponent off guard; and retreating to advance, retreating a step first, in fact, is to attack better. These are all the wonders of Kung Fu.

Xiao Sizhe thought again, everything in the world has its own rules, things are mutually reinforcing and restraining, and there is also a relationship of mutual restraint between all things. What about martial arts? Why can't martial arts have the principle of mutual reinforcing and restraining? Thinking of this, his eyes lit up, and his heart was filled with curiosity and desire to explore.

"In this world, are there any internal martial arts that can cause mutual punishment or mutual restraint?" Xiao Sizhe couldn't help but ask loudly.

"Yes!" Almost at the same time, the voices of Sikong Yan and Xiao Sanlang rang out.

When Xiao Sizhe heard this, he was so happy that he jumped up and sat on the table next to him, swinging his legs excitedly. His face was filled with a happy smile, as if he had seen himself mastering those magical martial arts.

Sikong Yan unconsciously looked at Xiao Sizhe's pair of naughty little feet, which were swaying in the sun, and were particularly eye-catching.

For some reason, the two heart-moving white jade lotuses appeared in his mind again. He had seen them by chance once, and they had been deeply imprinted in his heart ever since.

At this time, Xiao Sanlang spoke first: "The Fiery Fist and the Ice Palm are mutually exclusive."

When Xiao Sizhe heard this, his eyes widened even more, as if he had seen a whole new world. He jumped down excitedly, dancing with joy, and kept saying, "Great, great! I wish I could incorporate these two martial arts into the Changsheng Jue."

Sikong Yan looked at Xiao Sizhe's excitement, and his mouth curled up slightly, revealing a doting smile. His thoughts were also infected by Xiao Sizhe's happiness, as if he had returned to his youth when he was full of enthusiasm for martial arts.

However, Xiao Sanlang's words instantly froze Xiao Sizhe's smile on his face. Xiao Sanlang frowned and said, "This is the martial arts secret manual of various sects in the martial arts world. It has never been passed on to outsiders! How can we find it?"

"Ah? What should I do?" Xiao Sizhe was stunned. His excitement disappeared without a trace, replaced by disappointment and helplessness. He stood there blankly, his eyes full of confusion.

"What's the difficulty?" When everyone was silent, Sikong Yan suddenly spoke. A confident smile appeared on his face, and then he took out a silver ingot from his arms and threw it into the air. The silver shone brightly in the sun, as if it had a magical power.

Sikong Yan watched the silver ingot draw a graceful arc in the air, and then fell steadily into his hand. He smiled and said, "Money makes the world go round! As long as we have enough money, why should we be afraid of not being able to find the two martial arts secrets?"

Xiao Sanlang stood in the courtyard with a frown on his face. He looked at Sikong Yan who looked relaxed and couldn't help but shouted, "Master, you have never been to the martial arts world before. You don't understand the rules of the martial arts world! The martial arts world is not as simple as you think. Not everything can be done with money!"

Sikong Yan listened, but smiled disapprovingly and said, "Haha, Xiao Sanlang, don't underestimate the power of money. No matter who he is, as long as he is vain, he wants to make a lot of money. Look at this world, some people even hope that gold and silver will rain down on their homes! In my opinion, as long as enough money is given, there is nothing that cannot be done!"

After hearing this, Xiao Sizhe, who was standing by, nodded repeatedly, with excitement flashing in his eyes: "Brother Yan is right! Let's go, take the silver, and set out to explore the world!" As she said that, she couldn't wait to grab Sikong Yan's hand and ran out of the house.

Soon, the four were ready. They were all dressed in black, wearing black hats with veils, and rode on their horses in a heroic manner, like a black whirlwind, and quickly left the mansion.

The sound of horse hooves clattered and raised clouds of dust. The four of them came to a three-way intersection and pulled the reins. This place was surrounded by green mountains and trees, and three roads stretched into the distance, making people feel a little confused.

"I heard that there is a black market in this suburban town, where there are many rare things that cannot be bought during the day!" Xiao Sanlang broke the silence and spoke.

Shui Qinglian raised her head and looked at the three forked roads, with a hint of doubt in her eyes: "Which one should we take?"

Xiao Sanlang touched his chin, thought for a moment and said, "It is said that these three roads can lead there, it's just a matter of distance."

Shui Qinglian couldn't help laughing after hearing this and said, "This is nonsense! Then why don't we just pick a random path?"

"Wait!" Xiao Sanlang said hurriedly, "I also heard that the shortest way can be reached in one hour, but the longest way takes three hours!"

After hearing this, Xiao Sizhe laughed and said confidently: "Isn't this obvious? From left to right, the first road can get there in one hour. Let's go, we will take the first road!" After that, he waved his whip and spurred his horse towards the first road.

Seeing this, Shui Qinglian shouted anxiously: "Xiao Sizhe, what if it's the other way around?"

Xiao Si hid his head and didn't even turn around, waving the whip and shouting: "There is no chance of one, only ten thousand! I believe in my intuition, it will never be wrong!"

Xiao Sizhe and his companions thought that this road was a little rough and difficult to walk on, but soon they saw a large stone tablet in front of them, which said that Jiaoye Town was fifty miles away. Xiao Sizhe shouted, "Look, am I right?"

Shui Qinglian smiled and said, "Hehe, I didn't expect you to be so lucky!"

Xiao Sizhe was very proud, "You can't go wrong by following me!"

Sikong Yan said nothing along the way, just looked at his young wife and smiled dotingly.

Finally, after more than an hour of running, they saw a bustling town ahead. The town was bustling with people coming and going, cars and people, and various shouts came one after another.

Xiao Sanlang said excitedly: "Look, that should be Jiaoye Town! We are finally here!"

The four of them quickened their pace and ran towards the town. After entering the town, they quickly found the location of the black market according to the information they had inquired before.

However, when they arrived at the so-called Si City in the suburbs, they saw an empty, desolate and lonely scene with nothing in sight.

"What's going on?" Shui Qinglian looked at Xiao Sanlang with confusion.

Xiao Sanlang smiled and said, "We are here too early!" Then he suggested, "How about we go around and take a walk?"

Shui Qinglian couldn't help but become anxious. After all, he had never been in the martial arts world and knew nothing about its various ways.

At this time, Sikong Yan explained: "The so-called black market actually has two meanings. One of them refers to the market in the dark night."

Xiao Sizhe looked up and saw that the sun was about to set. He patted his stomach and said, "Then let's find a place to fill our stomachs first! We can also get some information while we're at it."

"That's the only way!" The four of them drove their horses slowly forward, and gradually, pedestrians began to appear on the streets and town ahead.
