Chapter 169: The No. 1 Sword Art in the World

Xin Han walked over, the little girl's father picked it up, and said to Zhang Sanfeng: "Master Zhang, can you use your ferry boat to send this person ashore, so that the dead can be buried in peace?"

Zhang Sanfeng said seriously: "That's right."

Seeing Xin Han hugging the body of the boatman, he wanted to take the little girl to his boat, but he didn't expect Xin Han to say to the little girl first: "Little sister, brother can take you to the boat over there."

Although Zhou Zhiruo was young, she was very sensible. Knowing that this elder brother was going to bury her father, she nodded with tears in her eyes.

Xin Han hugged the boatman with one hand and Zhou Zhiruo with the other, tapped his toes on the boat, and led the two of them onto the ferry over there.

Zhang Sanfeng saw that Xin Han led the two to perform lightness kung fu, lifting weights lightly and effortlessly, he couldn't help secretly praising them.

Looking back, he saw that Mingjiao man named Chang Yuchun was pale, so he took out the elixir, fed it into his mouth, rowed the boat to the side of the ferry, and was about to help him cross the boat, but did he know that Chang Yuchun was very serious? Tough, holding the boy's body in one hand, with a light push, he boarded the ferry.

Zhang Sanfeng also returned to the ferry and ordered the old boatman to pull the boat to the shore, and then treated Chang Yuchun's wound.

When the boat reached the shore, they hurriedly buried a few people, and then everyone returned to the boat, Zhang Sanfeng thought: "Wuji can't walk now, if he goes to Laohekou to invest in the store, this man is a prisoner, I want to take care of the two, I'm afraid it's hard to be thorough."

Then he took out three taels of silver and handed it to the boatman, saying: "Brother boatman, please go down the river eastward, pass the fairy ferry, and send us to Taipingdian for the night."

Seeing that everyone knew martial arts, the boatman was already in awe, not to mention that he had given so much money, he immediately agreed and rowed the boat eastward along the river.

Chang Yuchun knelt down on the deck and kowtowed, and said: "This little hero and Master Zhang saved the villain's life, Chang Yuchun kowtows to you two."

Xin Han stretched out his hand to help him up, and said: "Brother Chang, you don't need to perform such a great gift." When he touched his palm, he felt cold, and was slightly startled. Asked: "Did Brother Chang still suffer from internal injuries?"

Chang Yuchun said: "The villain escorted the young master from Xinyang to the south. On the way, he fought four times with the eagle claws sent by the tartars to hunt him down. He slapped a monk on the chest and waist twice."

Xin Han said to Zhang Sanfeng: "Please also ask Master Zhang to show this elder brother."

Zhang Sanfeng came over and caught Chang Yuchun's pulse. But he felt that the beating was weak, and then he untied his clothes and looked at the wound, he was even more shocked, he saw that his palm was swollen by an inch, the injury was really serious.

If it were someone else, they would have been unable to support it long ago. This person traveled thousands of miles to resist powerful enemies, he is truly a hero.

He was ordered not to speak at the moment, but to lie down and rest in the cabin.

Zhou Zhiruo was about ten years old, with old clothes and bare feet. Although she was a poor girl from a boat family, she had a beautiful face. She is absolutely a stunning beauty, at this time she is very dependent on Xin Han, holding Xin Han's clothes with two small hands and sitting quietly by the side.

Zhang Sanfeng saw how pitiful she was, and asked, "Girl, what's your name?"

The girl said: "My surname is Zhou, and my name is Zhiruo."

Zhang Sanfeng praised: "Good name, where does your family live? Who else is there? We will ask the boat boss to take you home."

Zhou Zhiruo wept and said, "I will just live on the boat with my father, and there will be...no one else."

Zhang Sanfeng hummed, thinking: "Her family is ruined, little girl. How can I arrange her?"

Xin Han took the opportunity to say: "I see that the little girl has excellent muscles and bones, and she is a good material for sword practice. Why don't Master Zhang take her into Wudang, so as to teach her a place to live."

Zhou Zhiruo suddenly said, "Big brother, can I follow you, I can cook water and cook everything."

Xin Han was a little tempted when she heard her talk, but if the girl said so in a few years, he would really agree to it, but now she is at this age, much younger than Shuang'er. How can I take care of children by myself.

Then he refused: "I still have things to do, it's not convenient to take you with me, so you follow Master Zhang, and I will visit you when I'm done."

Seeing his refusal, Zhou Zhiruo's face darkened, and she lowered her head.

Zhang Sanfeng felt a bit embarrassed: "I Wudang are all male disciples, but it's inconvenient. Why don't I introduce her to the Emei Miejue Shitai sect, most of the Emei sect's female disciples, so it's good to have someone to take care of her after she goes."

Seeing that Zhou Zhiruo remained silent, Xin Han comforted her and said that she would definitely visit her in the future, and Zhou Zhiruo agreed.

I didn't arrive at Taiping store until the second watch this night. Zhang Sanfeng ordered the boat to anchor far away from the town. The boatman went to the town to buy food, cooked the food, and put it on the small table in the cabin. He cooked four big bowls of chicken, meat, fish, and vegetables.

Zhang Sanfeng asked everyone to eat first, and he fed Zhang Wuji himself.

Chang Yuchun asked about the reason, Zhang Sanfeng said that his cold poison invaded his viscera, so he ordered various acupoints to save his life temporarily.

Zhang Wuji felt sad, he couldn't eat anymore, when Zhang Sanfeng fed him again, he shook his head, and refused to eat any more.

Zhou Zhiruo wanted to replace Zhang Sanfeng to feed Zhang Wuji, but was stopped by Xin Han: "Master Zhang, I think it's not because of him that little brother Wuji doesn't like to eat, but because of the food."

Zhang Sanfeng didn't understand what he meant, and said in confusion: "The food is already very rich, how could it be a problem with the food?"

"Wait a minute, I'll go back as soon as I go, and make sure that little brother Wuji can eat by himself." After speaking, he left the boat and went ashore, heading towards the town.

Everyone was also surprised, even Zhang Wuji himself became curious, wanting to see how he could make people with cold poison and no appetite to eat on their own initiative.

After only waiting for a stick of incense, Xin Han was holding a copper pot in one hand, and eating with large and small packages in the other.

When Xin Han placed the copper pot, filled it with lit charcoal, and poured clean water, Chang Yuchun suddenly remembered what it was: "You are Yuan people's hot pot?"

Zhang Sanfeng has also heard of this kind of food of the Mongols, but he has never seen it before, so it is quite novel.

Xin Han nodded and said with a smile: "Although this is a hot pot, after improvement, the taste is very different."

After he finished speaking, he continued to add ingredients and seasonings. When he finished his work, everyone saw a thick layer of red oil floating on the soup, and saw him put red crops as long and short as a little finger into the pot.

When the soup boils, the air is filled with a spicy smell.

Xin Han put the cut beef and mutton slices and various ingredients into the pot. Once the soup boiled, it was cooked through: "Come on, you have a taste. If you don't like it, I won't force you."

For some reason, Zhang Wuji's appetite arose just by smelling the aroma of the boiling soup. Hearing this, he picked up a piece of mutton with chopsticks and put it in his mouth, his eyes lit up, he chewed it up and swallowed it.

Then, without anyone telling me, I started to eat with chopsticks.

Being curious, Zhang Sanfeng also picked up a piece of meat from the pot with his chopsticks, and when he put it in his mouth, he suddenly felt a hotness that he had never experienced before.

He was startled suddenly, his first thought was that the young man had poisoned him, but under the circulation of his internal energy, there was no sign of poisoning at all, and apart from the burning in his mouth, he didn't feel any discomfort in his body.

"What is this? Why is it so hot."

The pepper crop was introduced to China in the early Ming Dynasty. At this time, Yuanmeng was not destroyed, and the Ming Dynasty had not yet been established. Zhang Sanfeng and others had never seen pepper, not to mention eating it.

Chang Yuchun saw that Zhang Wuji's food was delicious and sweet, so he took a bite of the vegetables in the soup with chopsticks, his eyes lit up, and he ate a few big mouthfuls in a row, and finally let out a sigh of relief.

He is a Ming Cultist, so he only eats vegetarian dishes, and he doesn't care about meat at all. Fortunately, there are a lot of ingredients in this soup, and Xin Han put vegetables, mushrooms, tofu and other vegetarian dishes, which is not bad for him.

Xin Han smiled and said: "This thing is called chili, and the ingredients I put in are the hottest among chili peppers. Although ordinary people tend to get angry if they eat too much, it has the effect of warming up the body and is most suitable for eating. Brother Wuji is nothing more than that."

He said to call Zhang Sanfeng and Zhou Zhiruo to start, Zhou Zhiruo couldn't bear the hotness after taking a few mouthfuls, and hurried to drink a few mouthfuls of water, but couldn't resist the temptation to eat again.

Zhang Sanfeng is not a taboo of meat and vegetables, he ate a few big mouthfuls of meat slices, and suddenly felt hot all over his body, knowing that this stuff has the effect of warding off the cold, he happily glanced at Zhang Wuji who was still eating and drinking, and felt even more happy in his heart.

Can't help saying: "This chili is indeed a good thing, I don't know if there are any, my friend, I plan to prepare some for Wuji."

Although chili can't relieve Zhang Wuji's cold poison, at least it is an excellent food for his condition, and it also solved Zhang Wuji's anorexia problem, so Zhang Sanfeng had no choice but to be cheeky and ask Xin Han for it.

Xin Han said: "Don't worry, Mr. Zhang, although these peppers are rare, they are not expensive. I will get some for little brother Wuji later."

Zhang Sanfeng chatted with Xin Han after the meal, he became curious about his life experience, and asked: "Little brother, I see that your lightness kung fu is superb and your swordsmanship is superb. I don't know which school or school you are from?"

Xin Han said with a smile: "My kung fu is self-taught, there is no school or school, but my lightness kung fu is average..., is it just this swordsmanship..."

Zhang Wuji had a good impression of Xin Han at the moment, and hurriedly asked, "How about your sword skills...?"

Xin Han said with some embarrassment: "If I say it, you will think I'm arrogant."

Zhang Sanfeng said with a smile: "It's okay, just say it."

Xin Han said: "My swordsmanship, in this world, should be the best swordsmanship in the world."

Zhang Sanfeng choked, his face was a little displeased, obviously thinking that Xin Han was talking big.

Zhang Wuji pouted directly and said, "Brother Xin really knows how to brag."

Chang Yuchun also said: "Engong, I have to say something fair, aren't you playing big swords in front of Guan Gong? No one in the world knows that Zhang Zhenren is the best in the world regardless of fist, foot and sword skills."

Zhang Sanfeng quickly declined when he said it: "The old Taoist just lived a little longer, and he definitely can't be called the number one in the world."

Zhou Zhiruo obviously also noticed that these people said that Xin Han was wrong, so she hurriedly said: "I believe that big brother's swordsmanship is the best in the world."

Xin Han laughed and patted Zhou Zhiruo's head: "I'll just say it or not. If I tell the truth, no one will believe it." (To be continued.)
