Volume 1 Chapter 67: Ah Gong's Token of Discipleship
A cold wind howls, and as far as the eye can see, the vast expanse of the silver moonlit grasslands is covered in snow. A horse with a coat as black as thunder gallops across the snowy terrain, its neighing echoing loudly across the frozen plains.
The knight on the back of the galloping horse, however, was looking back and gazing into the distance with a reluctant expression in his eyes.
At this moment, a feeling of leaving one's hometown and family arose, making Jiang Cheng involuntarily homesick.
Jiang Cheng was clear that this time, he had truly become a wandering vagabond with no home to return to. In an instant, Jiang Cheng felt a sense of the vastness of the world and the feeling of having no place to call his own!
Jiang Cheng set off in the direction of Biyuan Country after reading his grandfather's message on the animal hide, and as for the dark horse under him, it was brought along by Jiang Cheng when he passed through the White Tiger Clan's earth castle.
When passing through Jiangcheng Road in Baitu Castle, a fierce battle was raging inside Baitu Castle.
It's not a fierce battle, but rather a one-sided massacre. Ordinary Baihu people, the old and weak, dared to resist slightly, they would be killed instantly, the captured tribesmen were strung together with ropes waiting for the disposal of Huorebujie.
However, in any case, they could not escape the fate of being slaves.
This scene made Jiang Cheng break out in cold sweat. That day, if things had gone slightly awry, perhaps the fate awaiting the Ge Mountain tribe would have been just like this.
He led a group of swift cavalrymen, and Jiang Cheng galloped out of the earthen city of the White Tiger Tribe. As Jiang Cheng left the earthen city, the head of the White Tiger Tribe's chief, Bai Fei Bao, had just been hung high up by Huo Dian's Ling Gong Huo Jin.
When Bai Fei Bao's head was hung up, Jiang Cheng turned around and stepped in the direction of Biyuan Country without looking back. This place, he had no more attachments.
If it weren't for the letter left by his grandfather, Jiang Cheng might not even know where to go at this time, and could only wander aimlessly on the vast grassland.
The animal skin given by Ah Gong to Jiang Cheng before his death was actually a letter left by Ah Gong for Jiang Cheng in advance.
Perhaps Grandpa had a premonition of something, so he wrote down this will early on. In the will, Grandpa also explained a few things to Jiang Cheng.
If Jiang Cheng were to see this will, it would mean that the clan might have already suffered a devastating disaster. Apart from this, what Ah Gong's will has the most of is words of comfort and solace for Jiang Cheng.
If the tribe changes, tell Jiang Cheng not to be too heartbroken. Birth, growth, illness, death, life and death are all part of the natural order. Tell Jiang Cheng not to let hatred blind his eyes, to protect his own faith, honor, and not betray his conscience, that is the most important thing.
Finally, Ah Gong said in the last will that if there is a change in the tribe, let Jiang Cheng go to Liu's house in Biyuan State temporarily and plan for the future.
Most importantly, as a Soul Warrior, Jiang Chen wanted to develop and learn powerful war soul techniques, so he had to join the War Spirit Temple of Biyuan Nation.
For an ordinary soul warrior, joining the War Spirit Temple of the Biyuan Nation is not a simple matter. What Grandfather meant was that Jiang Cheng should go to the Liu family in Biyuan Nation and use their power and connections to join the War Spirit Temple, gradually increasing his cultivation and walking his own path.
As for why he went to the Liu family in Biyuan country, it was mainly because the Liu family in Biyuan country owed a great favor to Grandpa, who had almost saved the lives of over a thousand people in the Liu family.
Of course, Ah Gong didn't want Jiang Cheng to go to the Liu family to repay kindness, mainly he just wanted Jiang Cheng to get a legitimate identity. Traveling in a vast country like Biyuan is different from being in a mountain tribe.
No legitimate ID, that's trouble.
However, the most important thing is that Jiang Cheng must retrieve an heirloom he left at the Liu's house, an heirloom of his grandfather's sect.
At that time, Grandpa Liu relied on this token to save the entire Liu family. Now, Grandpa wants Jiang Cheng to retrieve this token and reminds him that if he has the opportunity in the future, perhaps this token can help Jiang Cheng.
That was all the will left by Ah Gong on the animal skin for Jiang Cheng.
However, even if Ah Gong didn't say it, Jiang Cheng would still go to Biyuan Country. The Hong Zongguan who led the Ge Shan Department to its downfall and the Cheng Guogong behind him, Jiang Cheng had no intention of letting them off so easily.
Jiang Cheng's current cultivation had just reached the early stages of the Man-Eating Ghost Realm, and wanting to kill his way into the Cheng Guo Gong Fu was completely impossible, but seeking revenge didn't necessarily have to rely on brute force.
Although Grandpa repeatedly advised Jiang Cheng in his will not to be blinded by hatred, as a man, how can he not avenge the destruction of his family?
Racing across the Silver Moon Grassland, the biting cold wind made Jiang Cheng's mind exceptionally clear. He also understood the weight of his grandfather's last words.
Jiang Cheng didn't necessarily want to settle down in the Liu household and be looked down upon by others.
Such things, Jiang Cheng had seen many in his past life. Distant relatives coming to seek refuge, who would have a good expression?
Jiang Cheng has silver in his hand and also has cultivation, he can completely stand on his own. However, the token of the Liu family's sect left by Grandmaster is something Jiang Cheng must obtain.
Without mentioning what Old Man Jiang said in his will about how important this matter was, even Jiang Cheng felt that the object was very important.
That day, Xū Chū, who had displayed great divine power to move the entire Gě Shān clan, repeatedly called ā Gōng Lín è his younger brother, and now Sōng Yuè was going to become the holy maiden of Xū Chū's clan.
Jiang Cheng vaguely felt that he might be able to find a clue about the Xuchu clan from his grandfather's heirloom, not to mention other things, and this made Jiang Cheng look forward to it extremely.
Having something to look forward to is better than having nothing to look forward to, right?
The border of Bì Yuán Guó was not too far from the Bai Hún Department, and after two days of continuous travel, Jiāng Chéng stepped into the territory of Bì Yuán Guó.
Entering the territory of Bì Yuán Guó was not as complicated as Jiāng Chéng had imagined, with soldiers checking at the border, but after Jiāng Chéng revealed his Xún Wǔzhě identity, they let him pass voluntarily.
Xiang lai hun wu zhe, zai na yi ge guo du, dou shi shou ren jing wei de shen fen.
Translation:
The soul martial artist, in any country, is a respected identity.
As the sun sets in the west and the day's head gradually falls, Jiang Cheng finally stepped into a small border town called Red Wind City, which was on the lips of patrolling soldiers.
This Red Wind City is also Jiang Cheng's resting place today.
Jiang Cheng didn't bother to reveal his identity as a Soul Warrior, and directly threw out a piece of silver, paid the entrance tax, then rode his horse swiftly into Red Wind City.
As he entered the Red Wind City, Jiang Chengcai felt a bit of prosperity, with shops lining both sides of the street and hawkers' cries unceasing.
In an instant, Jiang Cheng had a feeling of stepping from the primitive tribe into the modern city with one foot. The green tiles and blue bricks were vaguely familiar, although they were only things he had seen in some tourist attractions in his previous life.
Passersby, mostly wearing thick cotton clothes, and some even wearing fur coats with a hint of luxury, passed by, avoiding Jiang Cheng, who was wearing animal hides and emitting a strange smell.
For two consecutive days, eating dried meat and drinking iced snow was not a pleasant experience. When he saw a wine flag fluttering in front of a wine house, Jiang Chengfei dismounted his horse, tied it to the door, and strode towards the entrance of the wine house.
"Little Two..."
"Get out, get out, get out! This store is also a place where you mountain savages can enter. Get out quickly!" As soon as Jiang Cheng stepped into the store, a shop assistant came up to him while covering his nose and pushed him out.
"You're a despicable thing, looking down on people with dog eyes!" With a low growl, Jiang Cheng slapped out a palm, and the little servant was slapped bloody, with more than half of his teeth shattered instantly.
The little servant's mournful cry immediately rang out: "Someone come quickly, someone come quickly... murder!"
When there was a commotion in the store, Jiang Cheng strode to the counter and slammed down a 10-tael ingot of silver, which instantly sank into the counter, stunning the shopkeeper!
"A room upstairs, bring up the specialty dishes! Send up hot water, I want to take a bath, and use the rest to treat this bastard's wounds." As he spoke, Jiang Cheng slapped another silver ingot onto the counter, flashing a row of shiny white teeth at the shopkeeper.
"Three sets of clothes from head to toe, inside and out, a map of the State of Biyuan, and get this bastard out of here immediately, I don't want to see him again, is that okay?" Jiang Cheng pointed at the little second who was rolling around on the ground with blood all over his face.
The shopkeeper was taken aback for a moment, nodding his head like a chick pecking at grain: "No problem, no problem, Liu San, quickly take this honored guest to the upper room!"
Under the gaze of many stunned diners, Jiang Cheng calmly stepped up the stairs. Only the little second with blood all over his face stared at Jiang Cheng in shock and stupidity until he was carried out by several little seconds after being told that he had been fired by the boss, did he let out a loud cry like a slaughtered pig.
