Chapter 39 Thoughtful Although he had an unpleasant argument with his master, Jin Renfeng felt much more relieved to be able to go down the mountain for a leisurely stroll. After walking along the rugged mountain road for more than ten miles, Jin Renfeng arrived at the foot of Mount Hua. Just as he figured out the direction and wanted to head south to Hengshan Mountain, he heard a shout behind him. "Big Brother, wait, wait for me!" Jin Renfeng heard the noise and turned around, only to see his fellow apprentice Linghu Chong running as fast as he could, chasing after him. Due to the strong momentum, he still went down the mountain, staggering, and almost fell when he ran to Jin Renfeng. Jin Renfeng used his palm to gently support it. Linghu Chong stood firm, panting. "Big Brother, you're walking too fast. I've used up all my strength, even my internal energy is almost gone, but I still can't catch up." "Junior brother, why are you here? Are you going to Hengshan Sect with me too?" Jin Renfeng asked in surprise.
"I would like to go, but Master and Madam won't let me!" Linghu Chong said with a bitter face. "Then what are you doing here, Junior Brother?" Jin Renfeng was puzzled. "I'm here to give you some money and luggage," Linghu Chong said, patting the bag in his hand. "Brother, you left the mountain in anger this time, but you didn't bring anything with you. My mistress was worried about your daily food and clothing, so she asked me to bring it to you." "There are a hundred taels of silver in this luggage, and some spare clothes." "Master's wife said that when you are poor at home, you can be rich on the road. When you are away from home, don't make yourself suffer. Spend money when it is necessary, don't save it." "I have made my master's wife worry about him." Jin Renfeng felt ashamed. He was arguing with his master, but his master's wife was still worried about him. "Master also has something for me to tell you." Linghu Chong said again. "Master? Have you calmed down?" Jin Renfeng asked. "No, it's just that it's urgent for Brother to go down the mountain. Even if Master is angry, he can't let him go." Linghu Chong looked at Jin Renfeng and persuaded him. "In my opinion, Master was bullied by you, Brother, and lost face, so he got furious." "Brother, you have always been Master's favorite. As long as you give in and apologize, Master will not hit you." "What is there to apologize for? This time I am right and Master is wrong. In a dispute over reason, there is no room for compromise." Jin Renfeng said stubbornly. "What did the master ask you to bring?" "Master told you to be more careful when you are outside. You should try out the food and drinks you eat before you travel or stay in a hotel. It is best to test them with a silver needle first." "When you are out there, don't be impulsive or cause trouble. I'm just delivering the letter." Jin Renfeng laughed and said, "Master and Madam, please rest assured. I, Jin Renfeng, have always been calm and cautious, and never do anything impulsive or brainless." Linghu Chong reminded, "Brother, there is a handwritten letter from Master in the luggage. Master said that if you give it to Master Mo, you will be able to gain his trust."
"I can save myself that." "Also, Master's Wife said that if you go to Hengshan, don't rush back. It won't be too late to come back when the headmaster ceremony is held." "By then, Master will have calmed down, and it will be difficult for Master to punish him severely in front of the heads of all the major sects." "Master is still angry now, so please stay out of the spotlight for now, Senior Brother." "Master's wife, do you look down on me?" Jin Renfeng was quite unconvinced. "I am not the kind of person who is afraid of trouble. If Master is angry, just come at me." “I heard that Master is going to weave a few whips himself to be used as a method of punishment in the sect,” Linghu Chong said leisurely. "It is said that it is used to deal with someone." Jin Renfeng's face changed and he said righteously, "Although the truth is important, I am too filial and I cannot bear to see Master angry. For his health, it would be better for me to come back later." Linghu Chong curled his lips. Taking the bundle and hanging it on his body, Jin Renfeng turned around and said, "Brother, do you want any gifts? I can bring some for you when I go south this time." "I don't need anything. It would be best if you come back safely." Linghu Chong said in a deep voice. They have grown up together as brothers and it has been four years now. Now they are suddenly separated and they are a little uncomfortable. Jin Renfeng nodded, said goodbye to Linghu Chong, and then left. After the two separated, Jin Renfeng headed southeast, walking along the road. He had profound internal strength and used light skills. He could run more than ten miles at a time, as fast as a galloping horse. After walking for half a day, he finally stopped and rested under a tree by the roadside. Taking advantage of his free time, Jin Renfeng opened his luggage and counted the items inside. Money, clothes, letters were all in it, even water bottles and dry food were prepared. There was also a map in the luggage. Taking out the map, Jin Renfeng glanced at it and saw that the route to Hengshan was clearly depicted on the map. Some places were also briefly marked, clearly stating how to get to Hengshan. "Master's wife is really thoughtful." Seeing such thoughtful arrangements, Jin Renfeng sighed. Then he followed the instructions on the map, heading east, first to western Henan, then taking a boat south by water to Hengyang City. On the way, Jin Renfeng wrapped his sword in clothes and usually stayed in crowded towns, so he did not encounter any danger. . . . . . . The misty rain on Yanfeng Peak is truly worthy of praise, and the mountains and rivers on Shigu are magnificent. The dragon claws appear in the spring stream of Huayao, and the birds are noisy on the snowy ridge of Yueping. There are thousands of poems in Zhuling Cave, and hundreds of wine shops at Qingcao Bridge. Look at the warm peach waves in Dongzhou and the white lotus flowers blooming in the night of West Lake. Coming out of the dock, the prosperous and bustling city of Hengyang comes into view.
Unlike the Huashan Sect, although the Hengshan Sect is named Hengshan, it is actually located in Hengyang City south of Hengshan Mountain, and not on Hengshan Mountain. "Fortunately, I have the map from Master's Wife. Otherwise, I would have made a wasted trip to Hengshan." Jin Renfeng held the map in his hand, feeling relieved. Because he had been staying in Huashan for many years, Jin Renfeng had no idea about the situation of Hengshan Sect. If he were to come alone, he would definitely go straight to Hengshan, which would be a waste of effort. After arriving in Hengyang City, Jin Renfeng began to inquire around for the location of the Hengshan School. "You're asking about the Hengshan Sect! The Hengshan Sect is in the northeast of the city. When you get there, go straight to the largest one." A passerby pointed the way to Jin Renfeng. In recent years, the Hengshan Sect has become more famous than the closed Huashan Sect. Even passers-by know the reputation of the Hengshan Sect. Walking along the road, it didn't take Jin Renfeng long to reach the northeast area of Hengyang City. Unlike the dilapidated Huashan Sect, today's Hengshan Sect has exquisite architecture and is majestic and can be seen from a distance. After telling the disciple guarding the gate his name and purpose, Jin Renfeng was led into the sect by the disciple. The Hengshan School has everything, including carved beams and painted buildings, green tiles and red eaves, pavilions, towers, rockery and strange rocks. The scenery is so elegant that it doesn't look like a martial arts sect, but rather like a wealthy family in the secular world. The group walked into the lobby and saw a tall and thin old man sitting in the first seat. (End of this chapter)
