Chapter 20 Fuzhou City
Back in Chang'an City, Lu Mingkong immediately arranged for the Kunlun disciples to eat and rest.

After a long period of exhaustion and starvation, these people also wolfed down their meals.

Immediately afterwards, they found their own room and had a good night's sleep.

The same is true for Lu Mingkong.

Previously, relying on his profound skills, he held on and did not fall down.

But now that there were no enemies, he completely relaxed and slept for several hours before waking up.

The three of Zhao Jiuxiao also took a rest.

After resting, everyone set foot on the road to Fuzhou City together.

Along the way, Zhao Jiuxiao asked curiously: "Master Lu, how do you practice the [Liangyi Sword Technique] of the Kunlun Sect?"

Lu Mingkong smiled and said: "The difficulty with this set of sword techniques is that you can use two sets of completely opposite sword moves at the same time. You need to learn one of them first, and then learn the other. Finally, you have to master the two sets of sword techniques before you can exert your power. "

He Zhengyang: "It sounds very troublesome. If I am asked to practice, I definitely don't have such patience."

Sima You cupped his hands and said: "Master Lu's martial arts talent is not low, otherwise, he would not be able to become the master of Kunlun."

Lu Mingkong shook his head: "Young Master Sima, you actually know very well how I became the leader. My master suddenly died unexpectedly back then. As the eldest disciple of our sect, I was ordered to be in danger and had to be the leader."

"And this set of [Liangyi Swordsmanship] was also practiced after I became the head of the sect. If the master is not dead, I may still be the same as before, a knight-errant."

Zhao Jiuxiao asked curiously: "I don't know why your family teacher died?"

Lu Mingkong replied: "He died after practicing [Taijing Xinfa] because of his obsession."

Zhao Jiuxiao: "Oh? This mental method is difficult to practice?"

Lu Mingkong: "That's right, those who practice the mental method need to get rid of all distracting thoughts before they can enter a state of calm and achieve great internal strength."

"But the teacher has too many distracting thoughts in his heart, and he practiced forcefully, so he will inevitably go into a madness, and his meridians will be cut off and he will die."

Zhao Jiuxiao nodded: "It seems that cultivating internal strength also requires exercising xinxing."

Lu Mingkong smiled: "Since I became the head of the Kunlun Sect, I have also been practicing [Tai Jing Fa], but I dare not rush it, but practice little by little. Up to now, I have only practiced [-]% of it."

Sima You asked: "Is it because Master Lu misses Gongsun Wuji so much that he can't devote himself to cultivation?"

Lu Mingkong; "It's because of Junior Brother Gongsun, but it's also because of my own problems."

He Zhengyang said: "If I am allowed to practice this kind of inner strength mentality, I am afraid I will definitely die."

Lu Mingkong: "You're welcome, Master He. As long as you cultivate your character and practice in seclusion, you will still have a chance over time."

Sima You: "If Master Lu finds Gongsun Wuji, will he be prepared to do so?"

Lu Mingkong nodded: "That's exactly what I mean. After all, it's a unique skill in our school. If you don't practice hard, you will fail the painstaking efforts of the past generations of masters."

Zhao Jiuxiao smiled and said, "Then I will wait until Master Lu has fully mastered his mental skills and become a top master."

Lu Mingkong cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, Master Zhao."

After speaking, everyone moved on.

Ten days later, at noon, outside Fuzhou city.

Everyone moved forward and finally arrived at the destination.

Fuzhou City is one of the important cities in the maritime trade of the entire Tiansheng Kingdom, just like Guangzhou City, it is very important.

As soon as he entered the city, Zhao Jiuxiao saw a lot of people selling seafood and smelled fish.

In addition, there are very precious things such as pearls.

Some people fish out coral reefs from the sea and make them into various exquisite handicrafts.

There are also people from other kingdoms in Fuzhou, including Feihai Kingdom and Zhennan Kingdom.

Zhennan people dress very elegantly, and their gestures are full of elegance.

This is also their culture.

The Zhennan Kingdom has always respected piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and their people have been greatly influenced by this, and they are more elegant than the people of other kingdoms.

Feihai Country is completely different. Their clothes are simple and capable. Although they are not ugly, they are not very attractive.

The merchants of Feihai Kingdom are very good at business and trade, they are very careful with their budgets and rarely suffer losses.

In contrast, the merchants in Zhennan Kingdom are much more generous.

As Zhao Jiuxiao walked along, he also saw the goods sold by the Zhennan people, including many beautiful calligraphy, paintings, guqin and Go boards.

The Zhennanguo businessman spoke to him in a very polite tone, which made him feel respected.

He Zhengyang was not interested in these products and turned a blind eye along the way.

Sima You was different. Like Zhao Jiuxiao, he also watched carefully, not missing anything.

Lu Mingkong's mind was not on this, he asked all the way, wanting to find the whereabouts of Gongsun Wuji as soon as possible.

But after searching for a long time, there was still no clue.

Lu Mingkong couldn't help showing a look of helplessness, he could only smile wryly: "Isn't Junior Brother Gongsun here?"

Zhao Jiuxiao suggested: "Master Lu, why don't we divide into two groups and see you in a few hours, how about it?"

Lu Mingkong agreed after a little thought: "Of course, when the time comes, why don't we meet at the 'Zuihualou' in front of us."

Zhao Jiuxiao cupped his hands and said, "Okay!"

After speaking, the two groups of people split up and searched for each other.

After walking all the way, Zhao Jiuxiao came to a teahouse.

The teahouses in Fuzhou City are equally lively.

Businessmen from all over the world gather here.

Zhao Jiuxiao also found a place to sit down, ordered two pots of Dahongpao, and looked around while drinking tea.

Just as he was thinking, a person suddenly walked over on the high platform in the center of the teahouse.

He was an old man, holding an erhu in his arms, sitting on a chair, cupped his hands and said: "Guest officers, this old man will play a piece for you, I hope the guests will appreciate it."

As he spoke, he pulled up the erhu.

Seeing that the old man closed his eyes tightly, he didn't pay attention to the people in front of him at all. The tune he played was sad and sad, and there seemed to be endless thoughts of parting.

The audience all looked at him in unison and stopped talking.

The same is true for Zhao Jiuxiao and Sima You.

He Zhengyang was a little impatient, covered his ears, and drank his tea.

But at this moment, a young man walked in from the outside, dressed as a fortune teller, and holding a gossip mirror in his hand.

He looks young and looks like he is in his early twenties, with a fair face, thick eyebrows and big eyes, and he is not too tall.

However, his whole body was filled with an air that was inconsistent with his age, and he seemed to have gone through many vicissitudes of life.

The young man scanned the audience and finally focused on Zhao Jiuxiao.

He also walked over lightly, cupped his hands and said: "Hero, I see that you are very handsome, and I want to tell you something, I wonder if you are interested?"

Zhao Jiuxiao was stunned, and looked at the young man carefully: "Do you know how to read?"
