Chapter 173 - The Indian Buddhist (1/2)

"What secret?"

Piao Jiansheng asked with some doubt.

Liu Chengxun looked out of the window and said with a faint smile,

"Your master is in fact also a member of the nine provinces. My ancestor was a person from Jianghai city."

"..."

Master also had the nine provinces' bloodline?

God, no wonder, he had always had an extremely familiar feeling toward his master.

So that was the case.

At that moment, Piao Jiansheng actually had an inexplicable feeling that the relationship between him and his master had become even closer.

That was the sense of belonging and intimacy that stemmed from the blood of his fellow countrymen.

...

On Ye Xiao's side, he had already been working for two days. The matter of him facing off against Liu Chengxun and Murakami Beichuan had yet to stop, and the internet was basically still filled with this news.

His colleagues in the library would start discussing that matter every day when they were free.

That gave Ye Xiao a headache.

He felt rather helpless.

However, that also had something to do with everyone's mentality.

After all, to Ye Xiao, that matter was really not worth mentioning.

To him, being invincible among people of the same level was already a common occurrence.

It had been like this since he was a grandmaster back then.

Other people would only be able to slash out 500-600 feet with a single slash, while he would be able to slash out 2,000 feet with a single slash.

However, to these ordinary people, that was a huge and shocking matter.

That was because to them, the divine sects were practically comparable to godly martial artists!

With that being said, Ye Xiao had defeated two divine sects!

Those two days, Ye Xiao had been searching through the ancient records and maps to compare the map that Fa Xin had left behind.

What he had to complain about was that Fa Xin's drawing skills were really very poor.

Moreover, it was not just ordinary bad.

In many places, he only drew a rough direction, which was to use a straight line to outline it slightly. It was not like regular maps, which were winding and were sketched step by step.

What was even more outrageous was that he was actually semi-illiterate. There were some places where he used pinyin, and he even used pinyin wrongly.

Fortunately, Ye Xiao's personality was relatively gentle. Otherwise, he would have been so angry that he would have scolded someone long ago.

That morning, just as Ye Xiao was analyzing his map, Fa Zheng's voice quietly rang in his ears.

"Mr. Ye, busy?"

Ye Xiao hummed softly and raised his head to look at him. He said with some doubt,

"You're not in the martial arts academy. Why are you here when you have the time to spare?"

Fa Zheng opened his mouth and said,

"Not recently. This penniless monk has been borrowing more Buddhist cultivation techniques recently to strengthen his strength."

"Why did you suddenly think of increasing your strength? Aren't you already a Xiantian fifth-grade great grandmaster?"

"This is a secret history of our Shaolin. Basically, every year at this time, our Shaolin Dharma generation professors would delve into Buddhism."

Seeing Ye Xiao's confused and puzzled expression, Fa Zheng spoke again,

"It's like this. 36 years ago, a Buddhist genius appeared in India. His name is Aro. He once challenged a Buddhist monk of the same generation as us in the middle state, just like how Piao Jiansheng challenged the nine provinces' sword practitioners.

"Back then, his skills were superb and he defeated countless Buddhist geniuses in the Zhong province.

"Even today, he still comes to the Zhong province every year to challenge our Buddhist peers.

"Moreover, he wins every year!"

Ye Xiao had not expected that there would actually be such a thing.

He was not surprised that Aro would defeat his Buddhist peers in the Zhong province because he was only challenging those of the same generation.

If it was a genius with a relatively older generation, he would definitely not be able to defeat him. Moreover, some of the younger generation geniuses would most likely not fight him either.

It was not surprising for a genius like him to occasionally appear among his peers who could sweep others aside.

What Ye Xiao was curious about was another matter.

"Speaking of which, since he has already won so many times, why does he still want to continue winning? There's no need to continue winning, right?

"Since he's a genius, it's definitely impossible for him to be as foolish as the other three and constantly flaunt his methods and strength, right?"

"Your question is good. He's indeed not flaunting his strength and methods.

"He's looking for someone."

"Who?"

"My younger brother, Fa Xin."

Ye Xiao's eyes moved slightly.

He did not expect it to be Fa Xin.

Previously, he had thought that Fa Xin and Fa Zheng had similar dharma names, so they might be siblings. He did not expect that they were really brothers.

"Why did he look for him?"

"Because he was defeated by him once.

"It happened 36 years ago, he came to the nine provinces for the first time. First, he wanted to challenge all the geniuses of his generation in the Buddhist sect of the Zhong province.

"At that time, many fellow disciples of my generation had already been sent out by Shaolin to open branches in various places to promote the Buddhist martial arts culture.

"My younger brother, Fa Xin, went to a city on the side of Qin province, Forest City.

"His talent was not good, but for some reason, the Indian Buddhist, Aro, announced his defeat in Forest City. From then on, he retreated to India and waited until the next year to fight again.
