Chapter 700

Bai Lang let the mule cart stop in place. The two Brocade Guards were dealing with the corpses, and they took out a few small notebooks to compare. And Bai Lang himself was thinking about the experts of the Great Ming court. The court is indeed full of experts. Not to mention the eunuchs in the inner court, the few Taoist priests who served the Jiajing Emperor to practice Taoism, Bai Lang had seen a few times and knew that these few were also Taoist experts, and some must be innate.

"Innate experts brought to fly didn't practice anything. This Jiajing Emperor probably pointed all his IQ to imperial power." Bai Lang thought, and among the civil officials, the experts in the court can be said to be quite few, but the "Yangming Gong" who had passed away was definitely an innate expert. "No wonder the court didn't pay much attention to the martial arts world before." From the Ministry of Justice documents, the so-called Beggar Sect is actually one of the targets of the crackdown.

"Where is there any loyal and righteous Beggar Sect? They are all a bunch of garbage and scum, 'flower-picking' people." Bai Lang felt that it would be good to kill the Beggar Sect this time. From his position as a government official, these martial arts people are all things that cause trouble, which is very unfavorable for the government to promote education, and they must be well beaten.

After about an hour, the sound of horse hooves sounded, and the Brocade Guards from both places and the yamen servants from both county offices also came. Following them were the two county magistrates. After the ceremony, these people were also quick to do work. Soon they took the corpses away and gave Bai Lang a lot of "ceremonial fees"—even though he had already taken them before. "I think the local area can have fewer headless cases." Bai Lang knew this well.

The Brocade Guard guys also seemed to have reached a conclusion, "Is it really the White Lotus Sect? This damn thing came to assassinate me? Hebei Black Wood Cliff, right? After I go to Mount Hua and come back, I will destroy you guys." Bai Lang didn't need to be fierce anymore. He had just stepped into Shanxi and saw a large group of people from the Mount Song Sect welcoming him, including the "sitting tiger" Hengshan Sect nuns.

"Oh, not nuns, they should be called lay disciples." These people are all welcoming the first cultural person of the Five Mountain Sword Sects, and also the highest-ranking Bai Lang—the Mount Song Sect really has people who are clerks, but there is not a single official with a genuine origin. There is no one who went to be a "sitting camp" official like a commander or assistant commander, but I don't know why the Five Mountain Sword Sects didn't go to be soldiers.

Otherwise, how could they have a little say in the Great Ming army?

After all, although the Mount Song Sect is in Henan, at least they can send some disciples to the nine borders to join the army. The Mount Song sword technique is magnificent and can be counted as martial arts closer to the battlefield. It should be like this. In short, Bai Lang and Yue Buqun became the "facade figures" of the Five Mountain Sword Sects, especially Bai Lang, Bai Director. Bai Lang came out of the mule cart and saw a group of people's envious eyes.

Looking at these eyes, they all fell on his green official robe and white pheasant patch and the black gauze hat. This is an official, this is a fifth-rank official. If he is promoted two more levels, he will be a big official in a red robe... The capital official is the fifth rank, and if he is sent out, he will be a prefect? The seventh-rank county official is already a "hundred-mile marquis" who can destroy a family, so shouldn't the fourth-rank "Yellow Hall" prefect be a person who can destroy a clan?

Bai Lang came out, and everyone here had to bow and salute, but there was no need to kneel. Anyway, the Great Ming people see officials and bow and salute, unless they are in the public hall. Bai Lang also just arched his hands to return the salute. Several Mount Song Sect protectors and the Hengshan Sect's Dingyi Master came together, and their words were much more polite than before. "The status is different. There is already a sad thick barrier between me and them..."

They came here to build relationships, and also to see if they could stuff people—this is relatively difficult, because it must be the Mount Hua Sect that gets the moon first. The Mount Song Sect guys now seem to be smiling reluctantly. It should be that the "merger of the Five Mountains" is completely impossible. Before, when there were two Juren, they held a glimmer of hope. Now that there is a scholar, the hope is completely over.

Zuo Lengchan's thirty years of hard work can be said to be destroyed, and half of his career has gone down the drain. Bai Lang thinks this guy should take the initiative to stick to it. Anyway, the enemy is the Ming Cult on Black Wood Cliff. If he acts as a vanguard for Bai Lang, maybe he can let his own disciples get some military official origins, and he himself can also strive for progress, right?

In short, the mere Zuo Lengchan is no longer in Bai Lang's line of sight. The Hengshan Sect masters are also kind, but people outside the world are not good at building relationships with secular officials, especially since they are nuns. If any unpleasant words are spread, it will not be good for both sides. So Bai Lang just talked to the elders and fellow disciples of the Mount Song Sect and Hengshan Sect, encouraged them and said that they must defeat the Ming Cult, and then it was over.

Yilin, the little nun, was also present. This one should be very liked by Dingyi Master. Bai Lang just took one more look. Everyone sent him to the ferry. Bai Lang could reach Mount Hua by walking along the river here. Someone from the Mount Hua Sect had already greeted him at the ferry. Bai Lang was prepared to take two or three clever guys to be clerks. There was no need for fighting and killing—he looked down on the martial arts of this group of people.

The current Mount Hua Sect follows Yue Buqun to read books. How can they have a few clever ones who can read something? Practicing martial arts—that's really not much future. "The 'nourishing Qi' skill is good, for health and longevity. As for this fighting and killing skill, it's good for men to take merit on horseback—but it's better to read military books, and the Mount Hua Sect's kung fu is not suitable for fighting. It's useful for fighting and grabbing territory."

The Five Mountain Sword Sects are about the same, and the Mount Song Sect is better. The Shaolin Temple seems to be similar now. It is not possible to go to the battlefield. The truly profound martial arts in the world are almost all in the government—looking at it this way, maybe the *Purple Mist Divine Skill* is something people are too lazy to collect, "It's out of time." Bai Lang thinks so. The *Purple Mist* is a skill for practicing Qi, and it is probably not used for fighting.

He hadn't seen his junior brothers for a while, so Bai Lang tested their writing and calculation, "Has the sect leader taught you how to write official documents and calculate wealth and grain?" Bai Lang asked. It was too late to teach them the Four Books and Five Classics to pass the scholar examination, so he could only teach this to find a job. This group of people had no hope for martial arts. The quality of disciples Yue Buqun accepted in the Mount Hua Sect was limited, and there were no geniuses in the nearby counties who could be accepted.

It is already very lucky to have one Linghu Chong.

"Didn't Senior Brother come?" Bai Lang asked casually. As a result, Ying Bailuo's face was not very good, "Senior Brother is missing." He said, "After going down the mountain to drink, I heard that he left with unknown people." Bai Lang curled his lips. This "village hypocrite" senior brother caused trouble again. If this continues, his dream of a junior sister will become more and more distant.

Bai Lang could only sigh. Did this guy run to West Lake to save Ren Woxing? Turning around, he still has to return to the original path? This Holy Maiden hasn't seen Linghu Chong, but it seems she hasn't had time to find Bai Lang's trouble recently? "Don't worry about it, just pull some heads first, and then go directly to Hebei to level Black Wood Cliff!"
