When someone went to the woods to relieve himself, he found out that he had been bitten by the wild beasts in the woods, leaving only bones. He could only identify the dead man by the broken clothes and the steel saber of the Iron Blade Sect. It was already two days later. Moreover, because the Iron Blade Sect had always been tyrannical in Beiyang City, the common people secretly applauded when they heard that the people of the Iron Blade Sect were dead. Moreover, after the death of the Sect Master of the Iron Blade Sect, Tie Heng, the local government took the opportunity to completely remove the Iron Blade Sect from Beiyang City.
As the initiator of this incident, after killing the people of the Iron Blade Sect, Ye Xuan put on the steel armor and flew to the place where the Huo Village was — the Jade Lei Immortal Metropolis, according to the route he learned from the Martial Artist of the Jianghu.
Because it was a different time and space, the Jade Lei Immortal Metropolis in the real time and space referred to the Second King's Temple at the foot of the Jade Lei Mountain on the east bank of the Min River in Dujiangyan. But in the time and space of "Wind and Cloud", it was just a place in Hangzhou. It was said that this place was the birthplace of the founding emperor of the old dynasty. Unfortunately, a new emperor brought his own ministers. With the fall of the old dynasty and the rise of the new dynasty, this place was just a place.
Perhaps, the only thing that reminded the people of this place was the Huo Village, which could forge weapons for the people of the martial arts world.
After arriving at the Jade Lei Immortal Metropolis, Ye Xuan didn't go to the Huo Village to find Bu Jingyun immediately. Instead, he found an inn and stayed there. He planned to have a meal first. Then, he asked the waiter to prepare a meal for him and asked for the direction of the Huo Village.
"Go, get lost! Get lost! … "
While Ye Xuan was eating and thinking about how to find Bu Jingyun, he suddenly heard the sound of hooves and curses coming from downstairs. When Ye Xuan looked back, he saw a group of people galloping towards him on horseback. One of them was holding a flag that looked like the word "Heaven" in his hand. He was galloping on the road. It caused the originally orderly street to be in a state of chaos.
Ye Xuan frowned and saw these people coming to a notice board on the street. They pushed aside the people in front of them rudely, took out a notice and pasted it on the board. They shouted, "According to the order of the World Conference, any male whose birth date is listed on the notice must be reported to the World Conference to be accepted as a disciple. Anyone who reports the information will be rewarded with ten thousand taels of gold!"
"Wow, ten thousand gold taels! With this money, I don't have to do anything for the rest of my life! "
"What kind of faction is this Under the Heaven Society? Why would they muster such a large force just to recruit disciples?"
"The World Society is now the number one sect in the north. It's said that some sects in the Central Plains have already submitted to the World Society."
"It's the man in these four hours. I have to find him quickly. If I find one, I'll be rich!"
Listening to the discussion below, Ye Xuan realized that the plot of World Domination of Wind and Cloud hadn't really started yet. Even if the World Conference attacked Hangzhou to recruit the Huo Village after Xiong Ba recruited Nie Feng and Bu Jingyun and started to dominate the world with their luck, it would still take a long time. It would take a long time for the Huo Village to be destroyed. After all, the World Conference had just recovered from unifying the northern martial arts world. It would take a long time for them to expand to Yuhang.
Speaking of this, it was a relatively peaceful time in the martial arts world. A few years ago, John Doe beat up the top ten sects in the martial arts world, making the big sects such as Shaolin Temple and Wudang Sect seal their mountains and defend themselves. Then, the Lonely Sword Saint of Lonely City was defeated by John Doe, so he ignored the world and focused on studying his Holy Spirit Sword Method. And Jue Wushen, who wanted to invade the Central Plains, was stopped by John Doe outside the pass.
It could be said that Xiong Ba was the king when there was no tiger in the mountain. It was really a bargain for him. Of course, it couldn't be denied that Xiong Ba did have some skills.
While thinking, Ye Xuan ate the food on the table. Soon, he finished the food and paid the bill. Then, he walked out of the inn and slowly walked in the direction pointed by the waiter.
After walking for about 20 minutes, the houses on both sides gradually decreased. Then, a village that covered an area of nearly 10 acres appeared in front of him. It was surrounded by mountains and rivers on one side, and consisted of more than a dozen quadrangles. Before he got close, he could hear the clanking sound of metal and iron coming from the village.
The outside of the village was surrounded by a green wall that was one foot high, which blocked the curious eyes from the outside. Ye Xuan walked around the perimeter wall and arrived at the main gate of the village. The gate was wide open, and he could see many half-naked brawny men forging iron in full swing. The words "Huo Village" were written on the plaque above the gate.
"May I ask why Young Master has come to our Huo Village?" As soon as Ye Xuan stepped through the gate of the Huo Village, a middle-aged guest came up to him and asked.
"I have something to ask of Village Master Huo. I wonder if Elder Brother can pass on a message for me?" As Ye Xuan spoke, he handed over a five tael silver ingot.
"The Huo Village does not have such a rule. Young Master, please take the silver back!" The guest's eyes flashed when he saw the silver ingot that Ye Xuan handed over. He did not take the silver ingot, but looked at Ye Xuan's clothes. "I have not asked for Young Master's name. May I know why you want to see our Village Master?"
Seeing that the guest did not take the silver ingot, Ye Xuan smiled and took the silver ingot back. He said, "My surname is Ye, and my name is Xuan."
"So it's Young Master Ye!" Seeing that Ye Xuan only said his name and did not say why he was looking for Huo Butian, the guest thought that Ye Xuan was someone from the martial arts world and would naturally not tell him anything. He said politely, "Then please wait a moment, Young Master Ye. I will go and pass on the message. If the Village Master wishes to see you, I will invite you in."
"Many thanks!" Ye Xuan cupped his hands in thanks.
The guest went in to pass on the message and came out after a while. He looked at Ye Xuan respectfully and said, "Young Master Ye, the Village Master invites you in for a chat!"
"Many thanks!" Ye Xuan thanked him again and followed the guest inside.
As soon as he walked into the Huo Manor, he felt that the surrounding temperature was at least a few degrees higher than the outside. This was because the Huo Manor was a family of blacksmiths. Furnaces and bellows could be seen everywhere. Scarlet sparks came out from the furnaces and scorched the air in the courtyard.
When Ye Xuan followed the right-hand man into the second manor from the outer manor, he suddenly noticed a child with blue curly hair curled up on a horizontal bench in the corridor with his arms folded across his chest. The child was leaning against a pillar, looking up at the white clouds in the sky through the four corners of the courtyard in a daze.
This child had thick eyebrows and deep eyes, but there was not a hint of childishness on his face. Although he was sitting there in a daze, he did not look depressed at all. Instead, he exuded an extraordinary aura.
It was precisely this aura that made him look like a cloud floating in the sky, unreachable.
Perhaps his heart was also as elusive as a cloud, difficult to fathom!
Cloud Impermanence, he was Bu Jingyun!
