Chapter 257 Free is the most expensive!
after a while.
Yue Buqun returned to the courtyard next door with worries.
After entering the room, Ning Zhongze frowned and said: "Senior brother, you are still thinking about the transaction! The conditions offered by Cheng Shaoxia are so harsh. It is difficult to catch bandits. They are still alive. We only have so few people in Huashan." , it’s too difficult to complete.”
"Indeed, if Huashan Mountain is as prosperous as Songshan Mountain, with hundreds of disciples, and capturing a thousand bandits alive, it can be completed in three to five months..." Yue Buqun sighed.
After the sword qi battle, only two old men and his wife were left in the huge Huashan sect. The rest were all young disciples. Except for a few famous direct disciples, the rest were all outer disciples who could not be reused.
"Senior brother, Huashan has experienced a battle of swords and energy, and its vitality has been severely damaged. It is already very good to be able to reach its current scale."
Looking at his senior brother with a sad face, Ning Zhongze felt uncomfortable. Huashan originally had many masters, and even one of the two sword qi sects could defeat the Songshan sect.
Before the battle of sword energy, Huashan was not only the leader of the Five Mountains, but also the righteous sect directly chasing Shaolin and Wudang.
However, it is precisely because of this that Huashan triggered internal conflicts within the sect because of a Sunflower Book.
It has to be said that Shaolin, the mastermind behind the scenes, was very stable and triggered the internal conflicts in Huashan, but no one noticed it.
"Hey~~"
Yue Buqun sighed quietly, feeling filled with worries.
If one or two of Linghu Chong, Lu Dayou and other direct disciples performed better, he wouldn't be so entangled. If this generation couldn't do it, then he would wait for the next generation.
As long as he has hope, he can wait.
But the problem is that now he can't see any signs of Huashan's development and growth.
The original expectation was that Linghu Chong dared to intercede for the flower-picking thief Tian Boguang in front of a hero, which caused the reputation of the entire Huashan to be damaged, and made him so angry that he wanted to kill people.
Of course, if your reputation is only temporarily damaged, it won't be a big problem.
What really pissed him off was that Linghu Chong hadn't come to his senses until now, and always thought he had done nothing wrong by speaking for Tian Boguang.
……
Midnight watch.
Yue Buqun, who was sleeping in his clothes, quietly got out of bed and walked out of the room softly.
Ning Zhongze, who was sleeping with his eyes closed, immediately opened his eyes, quickly got out of bed, put on his coat, and followed quietly out.
The couple went to the neighboring courtyard one after another, but Yue Buqun went through the main entrance, while Ning Zhong climbed over the wall and hid outside the window to eavesdrop.
She thought she was hiding well, but little did she know that Cheng Long was watching her every move...
"Master Yue, it seems that you have a deep obsession with becoming stronger!"
In the room, Cheng Long, who knew that Yue Buqun could not resist the temptation and would come as promised in the middle of the night, took out the Sunflower Book that he had prepared early and said with a smile: "This is the "Sunflower Book" that I got from Dongfang Bubai. It will allow you to increase your strength several times within two years, but I don’t recommend you to practice it.”
"Why?" Yue Buqun asked confused.
"Because this is a technique that was passed down from the palace..." Cheng Long said with a smile: "If you want to practice this technique, you must first come from the palace... Lin Yuantu, the founder of Fuwei Escort Agency, had read the Sunflower Book. Thus, he created seventy-two evil sword techniques and became famous in the world. If you have the courage to practice the Sunflower Manual in your own palace, you will definitely be able to leave a name in the world and dominate the world. "
"..."
Yue Buqun looked confused.
The Sunflower Book that he had longed for was right in front of him, but he had no confidence in practicing.
This martial arts secret book that caused Huashan to wither was indeed poisonous.
At that time, two seniors from Huashan, Yue Su and Cai Zifeng, visited Putian Shaolin and peeked at the "Sunflower Collection". When I was in a hurry, I couldn't read the whole book at the same time, so I had to read half of it alone. After returning to Huashan, I wrote down what I read from memory and understood it together.
Unexpectedly, the two of them verified what they had recorded, and found that they were totally wrong.
Both of them were convinced that the other party had remembered it wrong, and that what they had remembered was correct. This ignited the conflict that had accumulated for many years in Huashan's "sword" and "qi".
From the moment he took over as the leader, he had the idea of one day obtaining the Sunflower Book and getting a glimpse of his true appearance.
But at this moment, Yue Buqun felt numb when he saw the few lines of large characters marked on the first page of the Sunflower Book.
Huashan actually lost its disciples because of the skills practiced by a eunuch. If Hao Datong, the founder of Huashan Sect, knew that his descendants were so ridiculous, he would be so angry that he would crawl out of the coffin.
"Practice of the Sunflower Manual actually requires suicide. Senior brother hesitated. Could it be that he really wants to commit suicide?" Ning Zhongze, who was outside the window, felt nervous. He subconsciously blocked his breathing and listened nervously.
"Cheng Shaoxia, if, I mean if, if I commit suicide and suddenly want to regret it in the future, I wonder if you can let what I cut off grow back?"
Yue Buqun needs to practice the Sunflower Book to increase his strength in order to fight against demons from the Demon Cult, and even possible righteous masters such as Shaolin, Songshan, and Wudang.
But he also doesn't want to give up on becoming a complete man. When his merits are completed and Huashan returns to its peak, what he lost must grow back, even if he may already be gray-haired by then.
"Yes, but I like to travel around. I will probably have left the Central Plains by then. I can't say when I will come back." Cheng Long is an honest man, and he will say whatever he wants.
He can indeed regenerate a person's severed limbs. This has been proven. He can regrow hands, feet, and internal organs, and so can the crotch treasure.
The problem is that after leaving, he may not be able to come back.
If Lao Yue really endured the pain and had the cut, he would have to wait if he wanted it to grow back!
"Hu~~"
Yue Buqun breathed a long sigh of relief.
If it can grow back, there will be nothing to fear. Isn’t it just to be a eunuch for a few years or more than ten years? It's done, for the sake of the revival of the sect, for the sake of being number one in the world, it's no big deal, he has mastered the Sunflower Manual.
After a moment of silence.
Yue Buqun took a deep breath and asked again: "Cheng Shaoxia, if I want to regenerate my broken limbs and become a healthy man in the future, I wonder what I have to pay?"
"I am short of a maid who can serve tea, deliver water, wash clothes and fold quilts. If you agree, I will..."
"I agree."
Before Cheng Long finished speaking, Yue Buqun interrupted happily: "Cheng Shaoxia, Shan'er is lucky to be with you, even if she is just a maid serving tea and water, she is climbing a high tree. Don't worry, I will persuade Shan'er later and let her serve you well."
Ning Zhong, who was outside the window, heard the words, nodded and thought to himself: "It is indeed her blessing that Cheng Shaoxia fell in love with Shan'er."
"Uh~~"
Cheng Long interrupted awkwardly: "Master Yue, you may have misunderstood. The maid I want is not your daughter, but your wife Ning Zhong Ze Ning Nvxia..."
"What? Master, junior sister?"
Yue Buqun was dumbfounded and stared at Cheng Long with dull eyes.
"..."
Ning Zhongze outside the window was even more stunned, and everyone was dumbfounded.
He is so old, why does Cheng Shaoxia fall in love with him?
This is really... embarrassing!
"How could Mr. Cheng be so ridiculous?"
Ning Zhong was angry and annoyed. He wanted to rush out immediately and give Cheng Long a slap on the ear to calm him down. He also asked, "What's wrong with Shan'er? You actually look down on her?"
"Cheng Shaoxia, you must be kidding me, right?"
Yue Buqun calmed down and didn't dare to get angry even if he wanted to, so he could only find a step for himself to get off.
"I'm not kidding, I'm serious."
Cheng Long said seriously: "Master Yue, the Sunflower Book is given as a gift, but after-sales service is charged. Of course, you can choose not to do after-sales service and be a eunuch for the rest of your life."
"..."
Yue Buqun twitched the corner of his mouth.
Sunflower Collection has no after-sales service, so who dares to practice it?
But if he asked for after-sales service, he would have to give up his beautiful wife. For a while, Lao Yue was in a dilemma.
"Master Yue, you may have made a mistake. I just want Ning Nuxia to take care of me, do my laundry, fold my quilt, and serve me tea and water. I will not force her to do anything. After five years, I will let her Return to Huashan.”
Zhou Shuren once said that if you want to open a window, you have to ask to lift the roof before others will agree.
Therefore, Cheng Long did not put forward the real conditions, but let Yue Buqun and Ning Zhongze outside the window misunderstand, and then slowly expressed his real demands.
If Ning Nuxia couldn't be brought back in five years, then there was no need for him to pester her.
"If I just want my junior sister to be a maid for five years, I think I can accept it."
Yue Buqun's idea was very simple. He would have to practice the Sunflower Manual in his palace anyway when he returned. His junior sister would not be needed if he stayed with him. Instead, it would be easy to mess up things. Leaving him would allow him to quietly become stronger and plan for the rejuvenation of Huashan Mountain.
He is confident that within five years, all potential dangers that hinder Huashan's revival will be resolved and his junior sister will be brought back in glory.
"Senior brother, you agreed so quickly?"
"Am I no better than a sunflower book in his heart?"
Ning Zhongze's expression outside the window suddenly turned ugly. Her senior brother, who had always been close to her for eighteen years, actually gave her away because of a Sunflower Book.
Although he was only sent out for five years, he still served the anti-Japanese heroes, and he didn't feel so uncomfortable in his heart.
But Ning Zhong felt a little uncomfortable when he thought about being sent out by his senior brother because of a copy of the eunuch technique.
Therefore, when she returned to the room in a daze and faced her senior brother who wanted to stop talking, she felt very angry in her heart.
"Junior sister, there is something I don't know how to say, but it is related to the rise and fall of Huashan. Senior brother has to say..." Yue Buqun had actually guessed that the junior sister had overheard the conversation between him and Cheng Shaoxia, but some things had to be done face to face. Say it to show respect.
"Senior brother, the Songshan sect that poses the greatest threat to us has offended the demon doctor and will be rampant for a long time. Why do you have to endure the pain and commit suicide to learn the Sunflower Book?"
Ning Zhongze was most confused about this matter. There was pressure from the Songshan Sect in the past. In order to prevent the Huashan Sect from being annexed by the Songshan Sect, the couple walked on thin ice. They knew clearly that the second Huashan disciple was a spy of the Songshan Sect, but they still pretended not to know.
Nowadays, there is a demon doctor who hates evil and hates evil. Even if the Chongshan Sect does not offend him, he will still have some scruples.
Senior brother, there is really no need to endure the pain and commit suicide just to become stronger!
"Junior sister, you think of things too simply. The Songshan Sect is only a threat on the surface, and the threat in secret is actually the most deadly. If senior brother does not have the strength to overwhelm all powerful enemies, Huashan will sooner or later be defeated by you and me. , Senior Brother is also forced to do so.”
Saying that, Yue Buqun pressed Ning Zhongze's shoulders and said affectionately: "Junior sister, five years is very fast. When the time is up, I will go and pick you back."
"..."
Ning Zhong then stopped talking.
She actually had a lot to say in her heart, but in the end... it turned into a sigh.
Senior brother is burdened with too much.
Just a maid!
There is no shame in serving the anti-Japanese heroes!
