Taoist master wants to ascend

The parchment was unfolded, as big as a human face, and there was a picture on it of a white ape that was dancing wildly with a hammer in the strong wind and roaring towards the sky.

The painter's skill in the portrait seemed to be average, but when Li Yuan looked at it intently, he felt a fierce aura coming towards him, which made people feel chilled unconsciously.

"How can the painting be so similar? No, it's this sheepskin, a white sandalwood spirit sheep..."

Li Yuan tried to remember and gradually became immersed in it. Wu Ming on the side tilted his head, his eyes shining with hunger.

Yue Yunjin held the Green Snake Spear Fundamental Technique alone. What he had been craving for several years suddenly came into his possession, but he felt empty in his heart.

It was Tang Tong who spoke before he began to remember.

The room was quiet. Tang Tong suppressed himself from coughing, but blood still flowed from the corner of his mouth from time to time. His injury was too serious.

"From the Dragon Blade..."

Tang Tong pressed his chest lightly and could feel the horrific knife wound through his clothes.

It seemed that he could still feel the chill all over his body. The flash of the sword almost killed him on the spot.

"hurry up!"

After sitting for a while, Tang Tong stood up, glared at the distracted people, walked out of the yard slowly, closed the door, and did not let Fatty Sun, who had returned in a hurry, follow.

Walking to the backyard alone.

Although he has his residence in the inner courtyard, he spends most of his time in the backyard. Wang Ding and Cao Yan are also there.

There is a small garden in the backyard, which is green and has fruit trees in bloom.

Cao Yan and Wang Ding were sitting opposite each other. Seeing Tang Tong's arrival, they stood up one after another with worries on their faces.

"Old Tang, are you injured?"

"You can't die, but most of your martial arts skills will be lost. The dragon sword is too powerful. Even if you have the best elixir, you can't save him."

After looking at Cao Yan and the two calmly, Tang Tong said:

"I will leave Gaoliu before Han Chuijun comes, but you have to agree with me. Yue Yunjin, Li Yuan, and Wu Ming will remain unchanged in the Shenbing Valley assessment quota next year!"

"There are only six places for entry into the Divine Weapon Valley in our weapon forging shop. Isn't it inappropriate for you to decide on three?"

Wang Ding frowned slightly, but sighed helplessly:

"Forget it, I'll step back and give you two."

Tang Tong did not answer, but looked at Wang Ding coldly. The latter lowered his eyelids, but did not give in.

"If it weren't for Mr. Tang this time, it would be difficult for Mr. Cao to escape unscathed. The three places are up to you, but..."

Cao Yan sighed softly and apologized:

"No one knows when Han Chuijun will arrive. It will mean a long night and many dreams. Mr. Tang will leave tonight. I will send someone to take you to Dechang Mansion..."

"Cough, cough~"

Pressing his chest lightly, Tang Tong coughed violently. He wiped the black blood from the corner of his mouth and responded:

"Just tonight!"

Cao Yan's face was full of guilt, and he took out a white porcelain bottle from his arms: "This is the high-grade Bu Yuan Dan from the Four Seasons Thatched Cottage. Take it with Old Man Tang. It will provide some relief on the road."

Tang Tong reached out to take it, turned and left, came to the door, paused for a moment, and said in a complicated voice:

"For more than two hundred years, the Blacksmithing Shop has devoted the life-long efforts of countless ancestors. I hope you will not destroy this ancestral inheritance!"

Cao Yan was silent for a moment, lowered his head and said to himself: "...How could I destroy the weapon forging shop? This is the foundation of our ancestors!"

"That Qiu Long is aggressive. If I don't fight back, I will be eaten up by him sooner or later."

Wang Ding snorted coldly and looked at Cao Yan:

"Han Chuijun, nicknamed Ghost Face Prajna, is a first-class powerful character. If he discovers Old Tang's Conglong knife wound..."

"Um?"

Cao Yan raised his head, his eyes full of sternness: "Mr. Tang only blocked that knife for me..."

"Our family has received kindness from the Cao family for generations, and Old Tang is just repaying the kindness. Even if he didn't block that knife, I would have stopped him!"

Wang Ding looked cold.

"Dechang Mansion cannot be found in Shenbing Valley. It is the territory of Dongshan Sect..."

Cao Yan frowned deeply.

"Don't be afraid of ten thousand..."

"enough!"

Cao Yan raised his hand to interrupt: "I have made up my mind, there is no need to talk about this matter anymore!"

Seeing him like this, Wang Ding could only shake his head and change the topic:

"Then Yu Zhen's background is unknown. Do you really want him to be the head of the inner court?"

"Don't be suspicious of people who are suspicious of you. Don't be suspicious of people you employ. I have known Yu Zhen many years ago. He is strict in his actions and there will be no mistakes!"

Cao Yan glanced at Wang Ding lightly:

"If everything goes well, you will be the boss next year, so why bother?"

"The big shopkeeper has misunderstood, I..."

Wang Ding wanted to say something more, but Cao Yan left impatiently:

"In the front yard, Qin Xiong can arrange it as you wish!"

…

…

"The fundamental diagram actually includes training techniques and pile skills. It is the culmination of the White Ape Cloak Hammer Collection, and the hammer technique is perfect!"

"If I penetrate Liuhe and receive the blessing of the Perfect Hammer Technique, will it be considered the Perfect Hammer Technique?"

"What a good thing, but unfortunately, the value of this parchment is probably extremely high..."

…

In the inner courtyard room, Li Yuan was immersed in it, making famous gestures from time to time, and his own blood seemed to become a little more agile.

After nightfall, Tang Tong came back and put away the two volumes of basic maps. Without giving a few people a chance to care, he raised his hand and sent them all away.

"Brother-in-law, do you really want to leave?"

After closing the door, Fatty Sun was worried, frustrated, and a little confused.

He had been in the weapons forging shop for most of his life, and when he really wanted to leave, he felt panicked and reluctant to leave.

That boy still owes him more than fifty taels of silver!

"Otherwise, you stay?"

After taking a Buyuan Pill, Tang Tong's complexion improved a lot. He glared at his brother-in-law and asked him to quickly clean up.

"I haven't been to Dechang Mansion either."

Fatty Sun was a little aggrieved and a little unwilling:

"Brother-in-law, let's just go? Otherwise, how about taking a few apprentices to help us on the road? I think Li Yuan is good, he's smart and capable!"

"Shut up!"

Tang Tongfan's blood surged and he almost coughed up blood.

Fatty Sun was shocked and didn't dare to say anything more. He just felt his heart bleed secretly. This was a big loss.

Fifty taels!

My money...

"There's no need to clean up your pile of rags. Let's go."

After cleaning up hastily, Tang Tong stood up.

How could Fatty Sun be willing? All his belongings were in the middle courtyard. Tang Tong was too lazy to argue with him:

"Go back quickly!"

…

Li Yuan had just returned to the yard, and before he could wash up, he saw Fatty Sun hurried back.

"What are you doing?"

Li Yuan was a little surprised.

"Pack your things and go on a long trip!"

Fatty Sun rushed into the back room and rummaged through boxes and cabinets, with large and small bags hanging all over his body. He then rushed to the kitchen to grab two large kitchen knives.

"Traveling away? You and the second shopkeeper?"

Li Yuan responded quickly.

"Oh, I don't want to go either. I have no choice. My brother-in-law insists on taking me away."

Fatty Sun sighed, his body aching.

When Li Yuan saw him like this, he knew what he was thinking. He pretended to go back to the house, but actually took out Liuhe boots from the gray stone table.

After thinking for a while, he took out the one hundred taels of silver note.

There are many branches in Tongda Bank, and bearer bills can be exchanged for silver anywhere.

"You, where did you get so much money?"

Fatty Sun was startled, subconsciously took it in his hand, and returned it: "You pay me back fifty-six, seven taels is enough, and the one tael will be your interest!"

"One yard will return to another yard, nine will come out and thirteen will return, fifty-six taels must be paid back to seventy-three taels."

Li Yuan had no intention of defaulting on his debt.

The fifty-six taels of silver were also saved by Fatty Sun little by little.

"this……"

Fatty Sun accepted the banknote after hesitating for a moment, took out two large handfuls of broken silver from his bag and gave it to Li Yuan, and left in a hurry without waiting for a response.

"This fat guy..."

Weighing at least four kilograms of broken silver, Li Yuan watched Sun Hao leave, and returned to the house after a while.

While lifting the hammer and standing at the stake, he recalled the basic diagram of the White Ape Hammer Technique that he had memorized.
