Chapter 379: Zhang Zhang Wuji joins Mount Wudang; the Blood Jade Buddha Pagoda appears in the Western Regions

"Senior Li said that you don't wash your feet before going to bed every day; is this true or false!"

Su Hang curled his lips, "Don't wash my feet? Haha! You wait for me here; I’m going to find Senior Li for something."

Afterward, Su Hang walked toward the backyard of the inn.

"Li Taibai, get out here."

As the voice fell, a figure came running out, scrambling: "Su Hang, that, listen to my explanation, I didn't mean that; the kid misunderstood."

However, before Li Taibai could finish, Su Hang kicked him.

"Saying I don't wash my feet, right?"

Su Hang glared at Li Taibai, "I tell you, even if I don't wash my feet for a few days, so what? It’s none of your business. Don't think I dare not hit you; do you believe me?"

"Uh!"

Li Taibai was instantly dumbfounded, looking at the angry Su Hang, looking like he had been deflated.

"Alright, just a joke with you; look at how scared you are!"

After kicking him twice to vent the frustration in his heart, Su Hang stopped, "I just went to see that stinky monk."

"Oh? You actually care about others?"

Li Taibai looked at Su Hang in surprise.

Su Hang rolled his eyes, "Do you think I’m like you, liking to act cool?"

"I..." Li Taibai wanted to argue but had no words.

Su Hang curled his lips, "I asked him if there was any way, but he said he didn't know."

"What? He doesn't know?"

Li Taibai was shocked; although Zhang Zhang Wuji’s situation was special, Zhang Zhang Wuji was his disciple after all, so how could he not know?

Su Hang nodded, and Li Taibai pondered for a moment, "Perhaps I overlooked some details."

"Hmm?"

Su Hang frowned, "Are you sure he was telling the truth?"

"Why would I lie to you?"

"Alright then!"

Su Hang was helpless, "Anyway, the cold poison in Zhang Zhang Wuji’s body is gone now; it’s time for him to go out and explore the Jianghu. Staying in the Half-Moon Inn all day, how can his strength improve?"

"Where are you going to send him?" Li Taibai asked.

"Mount Wudang!"

Su Hang took a deep breath, "This Jianghu trip is extremely dangerous; with his ability alone, I’m afraid it will be difficult to deal with. As a famous righteous sect, the Mount Wudang Sect might be of great help to him!"

"Mount Wudang..." Li Taibai muttered, "This name sounds a bit familiar."

"Zhang Zhang Wuji’s master is a disciple of Mount Wudang!" Su Hang said.

Li Taibai shook his head, "Then if you send him to Mount Wudang, wouldn't it make him touch the scene and feel the emotion?"

"However..."

Li Taibai changed the subject, "I remember now; back then, I traveled with several good friends to Mount Huashan to discuss swords, and I once passed by this Mount Wudang Sect. The sect leader, Zhang Zhang Sanfeng, is a peerless figure."

"Yes, that’s Zhang Zhang Sanfeng. With Zhang Zhang Sanfeng protecting Zhang Zhang Wuji, it will definitely allow him to grow steadily to the later stage."

Su Hang nodded and said.

"That’s not necessarily true; the Mount Wudang Sect has a deep foundation and many experts. Even if Zhang Zhang Sanfeng is willing to protect him, would he, Zhang Zhang Sanfeng, fight against the remaining major sects for the sake of Zhang Zhang Wuji alone?" Li Taibai smiled indifferently.

Su Hang frowned; was Li Taibai saying that his calculation was inaccurate?

"Hehe, don't try to provoke me; however, Zhang Zhang Wuji is my disciple, and I cannot sit idly by. I will try my best to help with your matters. As for the final result, it depends on your own good fortune!" Li Taibai smiled, "By the way, Su Hang, I have another piece of news here, but I don't know if it will be of any help to you."

"Oh?"

Hearing this, Su Hang immediately became interested, hurriedly inviting Li Taibai into the room, making tea, and preparing to listen.

"I heard that recently in the Western Regions, a Blood Jade Buddha Pagoda appeared. It is said that the Blood Jade Buddha Pagoda contains countless treasures; not only are there immortality elixirs, but there are also various secret manuals, and even immortal pills. However, the Blood Jade Buddha Pagoda is controlled by the Mongol Tatars, and ordinary people cannot get close at all. Even if someone gets it, it will soon be snatched away!" Li Taibai narrated, seemingly not unfamiliar with this.

Hearing this, Su Hang’s heart tightened!

Blood Jade Buddha Pagoda?

This is a good item.

Upon hearing this news, Su Hang’s heart stirred instantly.

If he could just let Zhang Zhang Wuji obtain this item, wouldn't the latter be able to successfully take his revenge very soon?

Once Zhang Zhang Wuji successfully takes his revenge, would the rewards he himself receives be any less?

Thinking of this, Su Hang became entirely excited.

Li Taibai looked at Su Hang and continued, "However, these are all rumors; no one knows for sure if they are true or false. Therefore, if you have made up your mind, it is best to decide early."

"No need, regardless of whether it is true or false, I feel I should go and see."

After thinking for a moment, Su Hang answered without hesitation; he was determined to obtain the Blood Jade Buddha Pagoda.

"Very well, then prepare yourself. Tomorrow night, I will accompany you!"

Li Taibai smiled, and after saying this, he left.

Su Hang was slightly stunned. Tomorrow night? He is going too?

What does this guy mean? Could it be that he also wants the Blood Jade Buddha Pagoda?

Night fell, and Zhang Zhang Wuji was still in his room practicing the Nine Yang Divine Art.

A knock came from outside the door. Zhang Zhang Wuji stopped his practice, pulled open the window, and poked his head out to look.

"Mr. Su?"

Seeing Su Hang standing at the door, Zhang Zhang Wuji was clearly somewhat surprised.

"Why have you come?"

Su Hang looked into the room. On Zhang Zhang Wuji’s bed lay a set of brand-new clothes; it looked like Li Taibai had bought them for him.

Zhang Zhang Wuji’s face flushed red, and he lowered his head, saying, "Master told me to rest early."

Su Hang smiled and reached out to pat Zhang Zhang Wuji’s small head. "Alright then, rest early."

After saying this, Su Hang turned to leave.

"Wait."

Zhang Zhang Wuji suddenly called out to Su Hang. Su Hang turned back, and Zhang Zhang Wuji gritted his teeth, as if he had made a great resolution. "Mr. Su, thank you!"

Su Hang was stunned for a moment, then nodded with a faint smile and turned to leave.

The next day, just as the sky was beginning to brighten, Su Hang woke up early.

After packing up simply, Su Hang, Zhang Zhang Wuji, and Li Taibai set off toward the Western Regions.

When someone discovered that the Half-Moon Inn was not open today, they widened their eyes in shock.

This place was not close to the Western Regions, and it was rumored that the place where the Blood Jade Buddha Pagoda had appeared this time was the Poluo Kingdom of the Western Regions.

If they relied solely on a carriage, it would take at least half a month.

However, all three of them were people of the Jianghu, so they chose to travel by horse, which greatly reduced the time.

In just five days, the three of them saw the city walls of the Poluo Kingdom...

"We've arrived!"

Su Hang pulled on the reins and looked up into the distance. The city walls were about ten meters high and wide enough to accommodate seven or eight carriages passing through at once. Banners fluttered on the watchtowers, and the soldiers' armor was bright and polished, looking quite imposing.

"Is this the Western Regions?" Zhang Zhang Wuji looked into the distance, his gaze flickering, revealing a hint of complexity.

"Heh, I thought we would run into some trouble; it turns out to be just these guards!" Su Hang smiled contemptuously. He still remembered that back in Shu, the Western Xia army was endless, and it took them several days of fighting to repel them. This Western Regions city seemed even more dilapidated; how could it possibly block their path?

As he spoke, Su Hang patted the Green-Maned Dragon Horse beneath him. The dragon horse neighed, lifted its hooves, and galloped out.

Traveling at high speed, after about the time it takes to burn a stick of incense, the three of them arrived at the city gate of the Western Regions. By this time, the sun was already high, and it was noon.

The guards at the city gate were clearly accustomed to this and did not stop them. The three of them successfully entered the territory and soon found an inn to stay at.

There were already many Jianghu figures staying here.

Sitting in the inn eating, one could hear people at the next table talking about the Blood Jade Buddha Pagoda from time to time.

"Tell me, does this Blood Jade Buddha Pagoda really exist?"
