Chapter 129:
In the darkness, near the chaotic burial mound.
Qiao Mu looked at the person and cat standing in front of him.
Fang Yuan？
Has he been waiting nearby?
I think he found
with the help of that fat cat.
This thought crossed Qiao Mu’s mind.
Before being taken away by the jailer, he had entrusted his Fate to Hai Wuya. With Hai Wuya being imprisoned for thirty years, it is likely that he will be imprisoned for even longer, and it is uncertain if he will be executed suddenly like Qiao Mu.
And now, Fate has appeared by the side of Gaoler Fang Yuan, so it seems there has been a change of events.
The cat under Gaoler Fang Yuan’s feet owed and lifted its big round face to sniff carefully, before approaching with so confusion, finally lying down by Qiao Mu’s feet, its eyes once again becoming unfocused.
Although the cat sniffed with its nose, Qiao Mu knew that it didn’t find him by relying on its nose.
It relied on death aura.
Qiao Mu kept dying and coming back to life, which turned out to be a great food source for this fat cat.
Qiao Mu lowered his eyelids and noticed that every ti the fat cat breathed, its fur would stretch out, even emitting a faint glow under the moonlight, making it look quite extraordinary.
The current Grim Reaper was very different from the one Qiao Mu had first encountered in Heyang Prefecture prison.
Absorbing the lifeless essence was a great tonic for the Grim Reaper, and this demonic cat body was undergoing a transformation that Qiao Mu couldn’t understand.
Qiao Mu looked up at Fang Yuan.
"Indeed, my na is Qiao Shuanglin, and I am an elder of the Qiao family." He weighed the package in his hand.
"I am Fang Yuan, a prison guard from the heavenly prison. During this period of ti, Senior Qiao Zhong has been teaching
martial arts in the prison. And these two hundred silver coins are a small amount of wealth I am giving to the Qiao family, according to the agreent with Senior Qiao Zhong."
Qiao Mu nodded.
This kid wasn’t lying or exaggerating; he was being honest.
It was a surprise that the two hundred taels had doubled compared to the original agreent.
"Elder Qiao Shuanglin, I’ve been waiting here because there is an important item I need to give you…"
Fang Yuan walked over and handed over a handwritten manual.
Qiao Mu glanced and realized that it was Hai Wuya’s "Xumi Mountain King Sutra"?
Back when Hai Wuya was teaching martial arts, this young prison guard had been listening attentively nearby. Little did he expect that he would actually transcribe and compile the techniques into a written manual.
"What do you an by this? Qiao Zhong imparted his martial arts skills to you, and you repay
with these two hundred taels of silver. Our transaction with the Qiao family is settled, so why are you giving
this manual now?"
Fang Yuan briefly explained, emphasizing the exceptional nature of this manual and Hai Wuya’s greatness.
"Senior Qiao Zhong learned this technique too late and was beheaded shortly after. It’s quite regrettable. Therefore, I thought that if I could pass this manual to the Qiao family, it would help to fulfill Senior Qiao Zhong’s regret," Fang Yuan said with a smile.
"Of course, I sought the approval of the founder of this technique, Mr. Hai Wuya, before making any decisions. I wouldn’t dare take matters into my own hands otherwise."
Qiao Mu quickly looked through the handwritten copy of the book "Xumi Mountain King Sutra" he had on hand.
He didn’t need Fang Yuan to teach him this technique, because now Qiao Mu was the highest achiever of this technique, the only one at the fifth level.
With his understanding of the "Xumi Mountain King Sutra," he quickly confird a fact after browsing through it:
This "Xumi Mountain King Sutra" had not been tampered with or altered in any way, such as changing important words or intentionally omitting the second half; it was an original copy handed down by Hai Wuya.
Qiao Mu was a little surprised that Gaoler Fang Yuan was so capable and tactful, and he hadn’t intentionally deceived or tricked him when it ca to the technique.
Previously, he had claid to be from a wealthy rchant family in the Imperial Capital, and now it seed like it might be true.
"I understand," Qiao Mu accepted the technique. According to common sense, he had no reason to refuse this inheritance from Qiao Zhong.
At this mont, the young Gaoler Fang Yuan sincerely bowed and said:
"I don’t seek to beco your disciple; I only ask you to teach
a move or half a technique so that I can practice martial arts and stay healthy, and one day seek revenge."
Can I exchange an extra hundred pieces of silver and an extra copy of the "Xumi Mountain King Sutra" for the opportunity to be taught martial arts?
It must be said that Fang Yuan is young but quite clever, and the conditions he offered are indeed generous… Of course, Qiao Zhong is Qiao Shuanglin, so this extraordinary "Xumi Mountain King Sutra" doesn’t have any allure for Qiao Mu.
But after spending many days together in the heavenly prison, this young man has also sent him roasted chicken many tis, and Qiao Mu appreciates this kindness.
Qiao Mu approached Fang Yuan, placed his palm on Fang Yuan’s chest, closed his eyes, and silently channeled internal strength. A burst of internal strength flowed directly into Fang Yuan’s body to investigate. After a while, Qiao Mu opened his eyes and was quite surprised.
Fang Yuan’s progress in practicing the "Xumi Mountain King Sutra" is not slow.
This Gaoler Fang Yuan, before Qiao Mu taught him martial arts, was already a 9th rank internal strength martial artist. But now his progress is faster than expected.
It has only been a little over a month since hearing Hai Wuya’s teachings in the heavenly prison, and he has already made progress. His body is full of vitality, and his qi and blood are stronger than an ordinary 9th rank.
"You have good talent, but what’s more important… is diligent practice," Qiao Mu exclaid with excitent.
The "Xumi Mountain King Sutra" is very magical. It can take a different path and remain evergreen, while requiring very low requirents in martial arts aptitude.
So, in contrast, his requirents for martial artists’ perseverance are higher, and the training ti needed is longer.
To master this technique, it requires years of hard training. By the ti Qiao Mu reached the fifth level, he had to train tirelessly for thirty years, which is even higher than the requirents of ordinary martial arts.
Of course, as a "cheater
