Chapter 393: Wordless Stone Tablet
When Ma Lu saw that there were eight or nine people among them, he felt a little guilty.
But after fighting the man in front of me, there is nothing to worry about anymore.
After he killed Yan Wuji, he picked up the latter's self-protective martial arts, the Demon Subduing Diamond Kung Fu.
Before this, Ma Lu had seen Yan Wuji fight against a crowd with one person, and he barely lost any blood relying on this body-protecting martial arts.
Moreover, the opponents he faced at that time were much stronger than the group of bandits in front of him.
So Malu ignored the threat from the opponent at all, and directly threw out another one as powerful as the wind, killing the robber wielding a simple knife in front of him.
At the end of the card game, Malu rushed towards the other robbers without stopping.
He bent down and grabbed a handful of stones from his feet, throwing them out casually.
Because he didn't get any hidden weapon martial arts, Ma Lu's throws were not very accurate. Fortunately, there were enough targets, and the stones still hit the two robbers.
Perhaps because they had seen Malu's strength, the remaining bandits were frightened, and no one stayed to rescue their companions, so they dispersed in a hurry.
The two unlucky guys who were hit by the stones were immediately sucked into the card game.
It’s just that their martial arts level is not far different from that of the man who was killed by Malu before. Together, the two of them could only last 5 rounds at the hands of Malu.
Just as he was about to follow in the footsteps of his companions, one of them suddenly howled ghostly.
"Wait, you can't kill us, we are working for Tianlongmen!"
It's a pity that he obviously threatened the wrong person. Ma Lu had a dark eye on the Jianghu sect in this plane.
I only heard some names from Gu Qingyi, and they were all powerful forces in the world, and the name Tianlongmen was not among them.
Besides, even if there is Ma Lu, he won't care. He finally performed a heroic act and got addicted to being a hero. How could he give up halfway so easily?
Not to mention that he has already killed one of these bandits, so there is no point in stopping now.
The battle came to an end soon, and Malu went up and touched it a few times as a courtesy.
As expected, nothing good came out.
The three people who died in his hands were just minions with low martial arts skills, so they could only bully farmers who were weaker than them.
The cards that were revealed after death were all low-end goods that Malu looked down upon, and the martial arts they practiced were so diverse that there was no possibility of merging and upgrading famous card packs.
In addition, the total amount of money they have on them is less than two taels.
On the contrary, the rescued villagers collected another 5 taels for Malu, as well as some roast chicken, fruits and vegetables and other thank-you gifts, which were given to Malu by the old man who looked like the village chief.
The old man thanked his benefactor and wanted to host a banquet to entertain Malu, but Malu declined.
Ma Lu was also in a hurry to meet Gu Qingyi in Yuchang County, and left the small village after retrieving the packhorse that had been fostered at the farmer's house.
He was not riding very fast, mainly because the local infrastructure was not very good. They were all mountain and wild roads. He had to walk more than thirty miles before he saw the official road.
Moreover, the official road is also uneven. Ma Lu was sitting on the horse, and his buttocks were almost broken.
Fortunately, he met a caravan later. Malu spent a tael of silver and got on the caravan's carriage.
As for the pack horse, it was led by the servants of the caravan behind it.
The car not only has soft couches to protect your buttocks, but also candied fruit snacks.
While eating preserved fruit, Malu looked out the window at the scenery along the way, feeling that the money spent was quite worth it.
The official road was very lively. In addition to the caravans doing business and pedestrians on their way, there were also many martial arts people with weapons. Malu thought of Gu Qingyi's words again, saying that the Beggar Clan was preparing to change its leader and invited many fellow martial artists to watch the ceremony, so the number of people in the martial arts community in Qingzhou had increased sharply recently.
However, a week has passed now, and the leaders of the Beggar Clan should have been replaced, so there is probably no excitement left.
Ma Lu is not interested in who will be the new leader of the Beggar Clan, he is more concerned about the old leader.
In this kind of martial arts sect, unless the boss makes any principled mistakes, generally speaking he will not abdicate in favor of others.
In other words, the old leader of the Beggar Clan is probably dead.
But speaking of dead people coming to Malu, it’s no longer sleepy. What’s more, the Beggar Gang is still the largest gang in the world, and the martial arts of the leader of the Beggar Gang is naturally not that bad.
Even if he is not at Qiao Feng's level, he is at least a fool, definitely better than Yan Wuji in his heyday. If he can get a hold of it, he will not lose anything no matter what he gets.
If you are lucky, you might even be able to get the Beggar Clan’s secret knowledge. The more Ma Lu thought about it, the more excited he became.
He also brought a black hole with him this time. As long as he can find the cemetery, he can touch it without anyone noticing.
It would be even better if all the previous leaders of the Beggar Clan were buried together. Not only would they be able to master the secret skills, but they might even be able to reach the full level in one go and become the best master in the world!
Well, I just don’t know if those skeletons count.
Malu regretted not finding a grave to try when he was in the village before.
But it’s not too late to try again when we get to Yuchang County, but we have to avoid Gu Qingyi.
Speaking of Gu Qingyi, Ma Lu didn't know how she was injured. They agreed to meet at the south gate this time, and she probably wouldn't forget it.
Ma Lu was lost in thought when a voice came to his ear, "Young hero, are you going to Yuchang County too?"
Ma Lu looked up and saw that the speaker was a middle-aged man sitting opposite him. Scribes.
The carriage has four positions, so there are four passengers on board.
Except Ma Lu, the other three were a monk, a Taoist priest, and the scribe.
I don’t know how the caravan leader arranged the seats, so that the monks and Taoist priests were allowed to sit together in the same car.
The two of them got into the car perhaps because they disliked each other. One lowered his head and chanted sutras, while the other closed his eyes to meditate.
The scribe was holding a book and reading it. He was so absorbed in reading that he didn't even raise his head when Ma Lu got in the car. He didn't speak until he finished reading and collected the book.
Malu nodded, "Yes."
"When you arrive in Yuchang County, you must go to Wanshan Temple to see the maple leaves there. Many literati and poets have left poems there, many of which are famous. In addition, Don’t forget to go to Zuiyanlou to try their Zaobai duck.
“As for the wordless stone tablet, it’s not even interesting to look at. "
"Wordless stone tablet, what is that? "Ma Lu asked curiously.
"Hey, you don't know? The middle-aged scribe seemed a little surprised, "I saw that you have a long sword on your waist. You must be a member of the martial arts world. How come you haven't heard of the legend of the wordless stone tablet?" ”
"I have just entered the martial arts world, but I know very little about these strange martial arts stories. I wonder what is so special about this wordless stone tablet?"
The middle-aged scribe looked Ma Lu up and down after hearing this. He laughed.
“It’s nothing special, it’s just a stone tablet without any inscriptions, but there are always people who dream of discovering the secrets of the stone tablet and learning the unparalleled magical skills of the owner of the stone tablet.”
