A carefree soldier king in the city

Chapter 127 Tang Guoqiang's Dilemma

Chao Bufan laughed and said, "Actually, it's nothing much, just some gold and silver! Old Tang, can you tell me why you're so interested in this ship?"

Upon hearing this, Tang Guoqiang pondered for a moment, then said, "You don't know this, do you? This ship sank in a sea storm 150 years ago. At that time, the captain of the ship was named Kslav. It is said that he not only looted countless gold and silver treasures, but also many priceless items. Most importantly, he stole the sacred objects of the ancient L Empire, the Bible and the cross. It is said that anyone who can understand the Bible can obtain the contents of the cross. Therefore, after the ship sank, various countries sent people to search for it at sea. For more than a hundred years, various countries have continuously sent people to search at sea. Even our HX has sent people to sea many times, but we have never found any news about this ship."

Upon hearing the words "Bible," Tang Qianqian was startled. She wanted to speak, but remained silent, her cherry-like eyes fixed on Chao Bufan's face. It was unclear what she was thinking.

Chao Bufan smiled and said, "Old Tang, you just said that if you can understand the Bible, you can get what's inside the cross. Do you know what that is?"

“God’s treasure,” Tang Guoqiang replied.

"God's treasure?" Chao Bufan asked, frowning.

"Hmm." Tang Guoqiang nodded and said, "I heard that when God sent his youngest son Jesus to earth to atone for sins, he gave him a scepter of light and some kind of powerful magic. Before Jesus was hanged, he infused this powerful magic into the scepter of light and hid it somewhere, and that place is inside the cross. Bufan, tell me honestly, have you already obtained it...?"

Chao Bufan nodded and smiled: "I did get the item, but I can't understand the contents at all. I plan to make a trip to the Ancient L Empire myself after I finish dealing with my current matters."

Tang Guoqiang nodded, then said with a solemn expression, "I'm afraid even the people of the Ancient L Empire wouldn't understand it. Bufan, you were in such a hurry to bring me here, you must have told me more than just this!"

Chao Bufan hesitated for a moment, then asked, "Old Tang, do you know about witchcraft? It's a combination of witchcraft and magic."

Tang Guoqiang nodded and replied, "I know a little. There are some wizards and sorcerers in real life."

“That’s right,” Chao Bufan said. “There are indeed some wizards and sorcerers in real life, but compared to true wizards and sorcerers, their power is insignificant. In fact, in our lives, there are indeed some cultivators who have comprehended the workings of heaven and earth, and with the bodies of mortals, they wield immense power, or with the help of various secret treasures and magical artifacts, they can shake the heavens and earth and possess the might of thunder. These are the true Daoists or sorcerers. As for wizards, the power they possess is mysterious, capable of destroying mountains and stopping rivers, and moving at lightning speed. As for a sorcerer-magician, he is a combination of wizard and sorcerer. The power he possesses is not as simple as the superposition of witchcraft and magic, but far beyond the sum of the two. And now, there is such a sorcerer-magician among us. To be precise, he is a sorcerer-magician god. He is also not from this world, and his purpose in coming here is to target me.”

Tang Qianqian quickly asked, "Bufan, is this person even more powerful than you?"

"He is much better than me."

"Huh?" Tang Qianqian was startled.

Chao Bufan smiled and said, "I'm afraid he might use you to blackmail me one day, so I plan to teach you the true meaning of martial arts, which is the cultivation method."

"Dad, Bufan taught me a set of martial arts this morning, it's really amazing!" Tang Qianqian said excitedly.

"Bufan, are you really going to teach me martial arts?" Tang Guoqiang asked with a serious face.

“If you’re willing to learn, I will,” Chao Bufan said.

Tang Guoqiang hesitated for a moment, then nodded: "Okay, I'll learn. But when you teach me martial arts, I have a question I'd like to ask you."

Chao Bufan smiled slightly and asked, "What's the problem?"

Tang Guoqiang hesitated again, then asked, "Do you know a place called Sun Village?"

"Sun Village?"

"kindness."

Chao Bufan thought for a moment, then shook his head: "Never heard of it."

"Huh?" Tang Guoqiang was slightly surprised and asked, "You don't know?"

Chao Bufan shook his head, looking puzzled, and said, "I don't know, can you tell me?"

Tang Guoqiang frowned slightly, then said, "Sun Village is the oldest and most mysterious village in HX. The people in the village live a life isolated from the world. Everyone in this village is martial, so even the most ordinary people living in Sun Village can scale walls and roofs, and the most skilled can even fly through the air."

"Forehead?"

Chao Bufan was slightly startled and asked in surprise, "Does such a place really exist in HX?"

Tang Guoqiang nodded and said, "Yes, such a place does indeed exist. I didn't know about it at first. When I was eighteen and joined the army, my comrades and I went out to experience wilderness survival skills. I got lost and separated from my teammates. After that, I accidentally entered Sun Village. There, I saw the most unforgettable thing in my life. There weren't many people in this village, but everyone was strong and powerful. There were shamans, sorcerers, Taoist priests, and even magicians. It was the first time I saw someone walking on a cliff, the first time I saw someone flying in the air without any medium, and even a three-year-old child was as strong as an adult."

Upon hearing this, Tang Qianqian asked in shock, "Dad, how come I've never heard you mention this before?"

Tang Guoqiang smiled slightly at his daughter but did not answer. Chao Bufan frowned and asked, "And then what happened?"

"Sigh!" Tang Guoqiang sighed and said, "I only stayed inside for one day. I begged them to teach me the skills to walk on cliffs barehanded and fly through the air, but they refused. The next day, they blindfolded me and then sent me out. Later, I secretly went back to the place where I had gotten lost a few times, but I could never find that little village called Sun Village again. Bufan, do you know? At first, I thought you were from Sun Village."

Chao Bufan frowned, his expression unusually serious. He shook his head and said, "I'm not from Sun Village, and I've never heard of it before. Old Tang, do you still remember that place? The place where you got lost."
