After all, Duan Mingyu was not from the Evil Path.
Jing Fan's eloquence had caused him to fall for it.
Hearing that, a righteous look appeared on his face. "If that's the case, I'm willing to go with you to get rid of that demon!"
"Amitabha. Thank you, benefactor!"
Jing Fan bowed in joy. After Duan Mingyu agreed, he felt that something was wrong. It was as if he had been tricked.
He glanced at Chung Shen-soo and felt that he should not be the only one being tricked. He asked, "Young Hero Xun, where are you going?"
"Since we're in Shang County, we naturally have to pay a visit to the historical site of Shang County."
Chung Shen-soo answered frankly.
"The capital of Shang County is near Mt. Black Raven. Why don't we travel together?" Duan Mingyu smiled. "The three of us can discuss martial arts together."
Both of them were from large sects, so it was obvious that Chung Shen-soo was taking advantage of them to discuss the principles of martial arts together.
"That works too."
Chung Shen-soo smiled and agreed frankly.
The three of them traveled together. At first, they were wary of each other, but as they became more familiar with each other, they relaxed and began to discuss martial arts seriously.
Although they could not take out their secret manuals to discuss, they felt that they had benefited a lot just by talking about their understanding of breaking through to the next realm.
This was especially so for Duan Mingyu and Jing Fan. They initially thought that Xun Liu, who came from a small faction, would not be knowledgeable, let alone his martial arts.
However, after a detailed discussion, they realized that not only was Xun Liu's foundation extremely solid, but he was also creative in some aspects. Every sentence he said was thought-provoking and benefited them a lot.
Of course, the one who benefited the most was Chung Shen-soo himself.
"So … Even with the Marrow Refining Secret Manual, it is not that easy to break through to the Grandmaster level … It involves the most mysterious of stages and changes … That is the reason why there are very few young Grandmasters on the Earth Ranking who become famous.
'However, I can understand that the three stages of Blood Changing, Marrow Refinement, and Illuminating God are more difficult than the last …
'If Blood Changing is just injecting a powerful life force, Marrow Refinement is truly changing the nature of life. To put it simply, it's like evolving from a monkey to a human!
"The difficulty involved in this far surpasses that of blood transfusion … I can't even find the way without the secret manual …"
"Although these two have the Marrow Refining Secret Manual, they only wander outside the door …"
…
The Black Raven Mountain was located in Shang County. It was not very famous, and it was close to the ancient city of Shang Du.
This small city was originally the capital of the Shang Kingdom. It was once besieged by tens of thousands of enemies. Under the leadership of that generation's Shang King, they used the Cowpox Technique to control the plague and defeat the enemies. It was rather mysterious and legendary.
However, when the Shang Kingdom erupted and defeated the other kingdoms to establish the Shang Kingdom, they naturally moved their capital.
After the fall of the Shang Dynasty and the establishment of the Wu Dynasty, another thousand years had passed. The scale of the ancient city of Shang Du could no longer be considered huge. It was only the size of a small city at the border, not much different from An Shan City.
Coupled with the loss of population, the ancient city was filled with an aura of decline. Only the stone ruins from a thousand years ago seemed to be telling of the glory of Shang Kingdom in the past.
"If there's anything worth visiting in the ancient city of Shang Kingdom, it would be the Immortal Ox Temple. It was built by the Shang King himself. According to historical records, it was the first temple in the world to worship the Immortal Ox …"
Duan Mingyu suggested as the three young heroes of the Mortal List walked through the gate of the ancient city of Shang Kingdom.
"Amitabha, I can't stay here for long. I have to go to the Black Raven Mountain."
Jing Fan put his palms together and apologized.
"You monk … I feel like old friends with Brother Xun. Why are you in such a hurry to separate?" Duan Mingyu touched the zither pouch on his back and said, "Why don't we rest for the night? I still want to let Brother Xun listen to my zither …"
"I also want to see the sword techniques of the Plain Sound Sword Sect."
Chung Shen-soo smiled.
After this period of interaction, he knew that the Plain Sound Sword Sect was famous for their sword techniques. At the same time, they were also experts in sound wave techniques. The Heavenly Zither Sword Cry, the Evil King Sect's Demonic Chant, and the Stone Buddha Temple's Buddhist Chant were known as the Three Ultimate Sound Attacks in the world!
Based on what he had seen that day, Chung Shen-soo definitely didn't want to listen to it.
Although the skills of the two Mortal List experts were still weak and couldn't make him suffer as much as the riders, if he was disturbed during a fight, his martial arts skills would be greatly reduced.
"Haha, good. Let's see my sword techniques."
Duan Mingyu laughed and brought the two of them to an inn. This guy looked like a poor scholar, but he was actually very rich. He directly booked a small courtyard and ordered the waiter to prepare a banquet.
Because Jing Fan needed to observe fasting, he specially ordered a table of vegetarian dishes.
Unexpectedly, the waiter smiled and said, "Sir, if you want meat dishes, we don't have them in the ancient city of Shang Kingdom …"
"Oh? What's going on? Is there a taboo? "
This was the first time that Chung Shen-soo and the other two came to Shang County, so they couldn't help but ask curiously.
"In our Shangdu Ancient City, everyone is a devout believer of the Ox God Temple. There's an ancient rule that we can't eat meat. We have to be vegetarians like the monks, and we especially can't eat beef … Master, I'm not joking! This is true. You will know if you go out and ask around. "
The waiter was halfway through his sentence when he realized that Jing Fan was also there. He immediately smiled awkwardly.
"I see. When in Rome, do as the Romans do. But we can't skip the wine …" Duan Mingyu said gloomily.
"Alright, our Ice Jade Wine is quite famous. All the customers say it's good!" The waiter replied loudly.
Just as he was about to leave, Zhong Shenxiu called out to him. She casually tossed a few silver coins at him. "This is our first time here. I heard that there is a Black Raven Mountain nearby. The scenery isn't bad. Is this true?"
The waiter's expression changed slightly. "Sir, please don't go there … In the past, the scenery was not bad. But in recent years, for some reason, a group of Red-eyed Black Monkeys moved over. These beasts like to eat humans and are extremely savage. They can cross mountains and climb cliffs as if it was a walk in the park. We organized a few hunters to surround them and even invited martial arts experts to help us. But we still couldn't take them down. Instead, many people were killed … After that, the government was afraid and stopped pestering them. Anyway, those monkeys would occasionally descend the mountain to eat humans. They wouldn't easily leave the vicinity of the Black Raven Mountain. It's just that the commoners at the foot of the mountain have suffered …"
"Mutated monkeys? That's interesting. "
Chung Shen-soo smiled. "The few of us are also martial arts people. Maybe we can help the commoners get rid of these pests."
"Sigh … Those monkeys are not to be trifled with. It's said that their arms have the strength of a thousand pounds. Last time, a martial arts expert who practiced the Iron Head Technique had his skull crushed by one of their claws. It was tragic …"
The waiter hurriedly waved his hand. "Dear customers, please don't throw away your lives … Also, the roars of those red-eyed black monkeys are mournful. They vaguely sound like 'Dharma'. If you hear them in the wilderness, remember to avoid them …"
Jing Fan put his palms together and apologized repeatedly. After a while, he slowly said, "The first generation of the Stone Buddha Temple's holy monk was called … Dharma!"
