Chapter 15: Thousand Machines San (Part 2)

Put down the wine cup and waited for Meng Xiaohu, who was surprised to see her eyes, filled the wine, Chu Nanfeng said again: "I chased to the Wushan Sword Sect's main hall of Shenfeng Valley, but I met the head of Wushan Sword Sect. The head seemed reasonable and said that if I beat him in a hundred tricks, I will hand over the Yao woman to me for disposal."

Weng Mu sneered when he heard this, "I think this sect is very despicable. Has he ever said that if Mr. Chu cannot defeat him within a hundred moves, he will follow his actions?"

Chu Nanfeng was stunned for a moment and said, "It's up to him to deal with it..."

Wu and Hua are both old Jianghu, so they naturally understand what Weng Mu said. The head of Wushan Sword Sect knew the reason why Chu Nanfeng chased Yao, and knew that he was inappropriate. However, the two elders in the sect were both killed by Chu Nanfeng, so this revenge must be avenged. Seeing that Chu Nanfeng was very skilled and did not know who the master was, he was afraid, so he acted in martial arts competition in Jianghu.

It is clear that Chu Nanfeng killed two masters of the Divine Thought Realm within half an hour, and his qi was greatly reduced. He himself also achieved great success in the Divine Thought Realm. It is not difficult to defeat Chu Nanfeng within a hundred moves. At that time, no matter which sect Chu Nanfeng's master goes out to kill, it is reasonable to fight for Chu Nanfeng's master.

"Hmph, the mountain leader wins, it's Yao's family who dies. If the mountain leader loses, hehe, he will not let him go." Hua Qianxing sneered: "It was his disciple who harmed others first. According to the rules of the world, the two elders who blocked the mountain leader's revenge are still dead. After he said this, it turned into a battle-making battle, and established a life-and-death situation, rather than a mountain leader seeking revenge according to the law."

Wu Wangbo continued, "When you lose Yao's life, you will win the mountain leader and make a mistake, Mr. Yi will go to us. He will definitely say that he has made an appointment to compete for life and death, and a battle of grudges. At that time, it will be impossible to push Yao out at most."

"But if this is the case, as I expected, there must be outsiders with extremely high identities in the Wushan Sword Sect at that time... I thought I had the power to kill Mr. Chu, and I would use someone with extremely high identities to testify on the spot, so as not to come to the door for revenge in the future..."

Chu Nanfeng smiled bitterly for a moment: "I didn't realize it at that time. Now I think the head of the sect is really despicable... There was indeed a senior who was a guest in the Wushan Sect at that time."

"Who is it?" Wu Wangbo said anxiously: "If this person agrees to testify, he will definitely be a shameless person."

"It's not so, but this senior is secretly helping me..." Chu Nanfeng shook his head and said.

Everyone was shocked and suspicious. Chu Nanfeng never said who this person was. He thought it was a matter of particularity, so everyone was not inconvenient to ask.

"When I fought with the head for more than seventy moves, my qi and blood were already declining. Even though the qi of the "Taichu Heart Sutra" was endless, it had no strong momentum and was suppressed by his qi, and there was only the power to resist. The head thought that he knew that the time had come and used a killing attack. I knew that it was not good at that time, but I could not exert force suddenly, but wanted to exchange injuries for injuries, or there might be a glimmer of hope..."

"When I used a move of "Winged Snake Sprinkling Wire", I suddenly felt a stream of energy coming from the Du Yu point behind me. Zhen Yuan was alive, but he directly broke the killing move of the leader and stabbed his right wrist to the ground, but I put his sword on his chest. The leader's face looked very ugly. Before I could speak, he called someone to take the Yao family down and handed it over to me for treatment."

"Transfer skills from a distance? Is it him?" Wu Wangbo and Hua Qianxing looked at each other, and vaguely guessed in their hearts that those who helped Chu Nanfeng.

Chu Nanfeng nodded, as if responding to Wu Wangbo's guess, and then said, "The Yao family was very afraid of death and begged for mercy, saying that this was all a subordinate who had an idea. I didn't believe it, so I forced her to tell the process of murdering Xilan..."

After pausing, his expression was sad. Everyone looked at each other and knew that Chu Nanfeng was silent. After a moment, Chu Nanfeng picked up the wine cup and took a sip: "Then Yao invited Xilan to the banquet, and put a poison of "Qianji San" in the wine, which was colorless and tasteless. He said that he could not notice it even if he was a master of the Dan realm. So I asked her, what would happen if he was caught in this poison? She said that her skills would slowly fade away in two hours, and her cultivation would be lost within twelve hours. She asked her about Xilan's whereabouts. Yao said that she was sent to assassinate and did not know where to go after Xilan broke out of the palace."

"I asked her the source of this medicine, and she said that if I could spare her life and tell her the person who asked for advice to frame Xilan, she would be the owner of the poison." At this time, everyone had already vaguely guessed that "Qianji San" came from the Medicine King Valley.

Zhao Yinshan thought that he was afraid that Chu Nanfeng would let the Yao family go, and said in a lost voice: "The mountain leader cannot let this evil woman go..."

"I will never let her go. After Yao said that this medicine was offered by a disciple named Liu from the Medicine King Valley, I broke her valve and used the "Bai Rou Finger" of Master Wu to cut off her veins. I think I can live for half a year."

"It's so cheap." Zhao Yinshan beat his thigh, and he still wanted to relieve himself.

"I have never met the Liu thief. When I arrived at the Medicine King Valley, I saw a person next to the Lord Miao Gu, who looked like Liu Gongwen as Yao said. So I asked. The evil thief was very cunning. While using poisonous snakes, he told Lord Miao Gu that I was an assassin from Chu. I thought it was Lord Miao Gu who valued him very much. Seeing that I was coming in a fierce manner, he also tried to stop him..."

"Miao Gu Master was only in the state of Guizhen's small success at that time. After five moves, he was defeated by me. However, there was a servant named An who was already in Mingqiao Valley's cultivation level. He fought with me for more than 60 moves before he was defeated by me. But at that time, Liu Zhe escaped. I was angry and wanted to kill the master Miao Gu Master. Oh... The servant surnamed An was very loyal and righteous, and stood up to protect the master and stabbed him into the air gate by me."

"After I was stabbed, the servant surnamed An held a sword in both hands, and was covered in blood. He said that Master Miao Gu practiced medicine to save people, and never did evil. He begged me to spare Master Miao Gu's life. When I saw him loyal and righteous, I calmed down and asked Master Miao Gu's if there was an antidote after being captured by "Qianji San". When Master Miao Gu heard "Qianji San", he realized that the Liu thief was doing evil."

Min Zhenghua asked, "Is there an antidote?"

"I heard from the words of the Miao Gu Master, this "Qian Ji San" is extremely difficult to prepare. One of the monarchs is only available in the deep mountains of Lingnan, and it is extremely difficult to find. The disciples of the Liu surname were found and offered them to the Miao Gu Master. The Miao Gu Master originally regarded him as a proud disciple. In addition, after finding the herb, he practiced the "Qian Ji San", he gave the Liu Thief a piece, but it hurt Xilan."

"I asked the Lord Miao Gu who was killed by Qianji San"? What he said was the same as Yao's, saying that there was no medicine to solve. I was furious at that time and finally wanted to kill him with one sword. But when I saw a few hunters who heard the sound and the servants surnamed An were begging each other, they all said that Lord Miao Gu who saved his life and was a person who did good deeds... I let go of my heart to kill him."

"I asked Master Miao Gu why he wanted to make this poison that harms people. He knew that he was in the wrong and said nothing for a moment. I asked him to swear that he would not be able to pass on the poison prescription from now on. However, he never answered. He went to the house to get a book of "Hundred Insects and Poison Sutra" and tore off a few pages of it to me, saying that it was the recipe of "Qian Ji San", and if I ruined it, it would be..."

Weng Mu sneered: "This Master Miao Gu is also a cunning person. If he thinks that recipe must have memorized it in his heart."

"Yes, I guessed that he had this idea, so I threw back the torn formula to him, just asking him to swear, the Master Miao Gu thought he was unwilling to swear. He said that he would explore medical skills like practicing martial arts, and there were even more powerful players. It is not necessarily that he, the Miao family, can practice this medicine. Leave this formula and study it in the world. It is not necessarily that later generations will also give out antidotes. If someone in the world is infected with this poison, he can save people."

Weng Mu nodded slightly and smiled bitterly: "Although this is far-fetched, it makes some sense. What about later?"

"I changed my words and asked him to swear that he could only pass on his bloodline in the Miao family, not to outsiders, so he agreed."

Wu Wangbo snorted and said, "He came to tell the Liu Thief about the traces. He seemed to ask the mountain captain for help. In fact, he wanted to use the scriptures to replace someone. He could not ruin his vow and take it with the Liu Thief. He wanted to let the mountain captain know the reason. Don't blame him for ruining the vow in the future."

"This Liu thief has been in Youzhou for more than ten years and must have some connections, so he should not be underestimated..." Weng Mu stroked his long beard and pondered: "I happened to go back to Taiyuan County and rush to Youzhou by then. I wonder what Mr. Chu wants to do?"

Chu Nanfeng shook his head and smiled and said, "Elder Weng's intentions, Chu has recognized the intention. I will be careful when dealing with this Liu thief."

Weng Mu knew that Chu Nanfeng was extremely talented and very conceited, so he gave Luo Xiaoyao a wink. Luo Xiaoyao naturally understood his meaning of winking, but he respected Chu Nanfeng as a god, and Chu Nanfeng did not dare to speak without saying anything.

Chu Nanfeng saw the expressions of Weng and Luo, so how could he not understand their thoughts? After thinking about it, he smiled and said, "The day after tomorrow, I will go north to the Hangkong Temple first. Xiaoyao, followed Elder Weng and then went to Senior Mu of Liuling Mountain to look for me. Regarding the matter of Youzhou, I will talk about it at that time, but whether Elder Weng wants to go to Brother Luo..."

"That's natural. When I arrived in Taiyuan County, I asked Manager Xu to inform the General Pavilion of Xu."

I thought he was drunk when he returned, but Cheng Zheng was already drunk while talking. Chu Nanfeng sent him back to the "Chu" diner first. Chu heard that his younger brother was going north again, so he was very worried. He also learned that Cheng Zheng would go to Chanzhou in two days. He was sad and pulled Chu Nanfeng to say that he was drinking and narrating.

Cheng Zheng, who was half drunk, seemed to wake up when he heard this. He stared at him with a big surprise. Chu smiled and gave him a blank look, and pretended to be angry: "What are you looking at? I will drink when the sign of Chuji wine shop is hung."

After saying that, he took the wine and warmed it up. Cheng Zheng was stunned for a moment, and Chu Nanfeng smiled, guessing that his sister must have something to talk about, but he would not stop him.

After a while, Chu took the hot wine and put it on the table, greeted Chu Nanfeng and Cheng Zhengluo, and after drinking, he took a sip and said, "Rou'er is getting older, and I can't bear to marry. Your brother-in-law went to Bianjing again this time, but he doesn't know what the future will be?"

Seeing Cheng Zheng frowned, he glared and said, "Everyone now praises his wisdom and kindness. Can the master guarantee that he will be the same after he pacified the world in the future?"

Chu followed Cheng Zheng for decades and understood the ups and downs of the officialdom. However, she hoped that Cheng Zheng would stay in Taibai Mountain Academy this time. She picked up the wine cup and took another sip. She said, "I understand your brother-in-law's ambition for the country and the people, and I have not opposed him, but Rou'er... I don't want her to marry into the official family in the future. Like me, she is worried all day long. She watches your brother-in-law attend court in the morning, and when he comes back, she will let go of her throat."

Cheng Zheng felt something when he heard this. Perhaps because he drank wine in the academy, his eyes were filled with tears.

Chu Nanfeng also understood Chu's thoughts, reached out and held Chu's left hand on the table, and sighed: "Brother-in-law is going to Bianjing, and Junior Brother Qiubai is traveling with him along the way. Jungui is from Zhenghua, and he is more than ten away from the courtyard, either personally or sending people. He will greet the elders of the master every year. He is a kind and kind person. If his brother-in-law follows him, he will definitely not have any trouble..."

After pausing, he said, "And if I meet someone with a destiny, I will also match my brother."

Chu wiped his tears with a handkerchief and nodded. Chu Nanfeng patted Chu's hand and said, "It's getting late, sister, rest early, don't worry too much."

"I think you don't have much alcohol tolerance, but you're brave enough..." Chu Nanfeng, who said goodbye, faintly heard Cheng Zheng in the hospital talking and couldn't help but smile.

One by one

A carriage was slowly stopped in front of the gate of the "Wanfu" inn in Taiyuan County. A middle-aged scholar wearing a white cape was seen getting off the car, followed by a little girl about ten years old, Liu Gongwen and Chang Qingqing.

Liu Gongwen went from Northern Han to Youzhou for half a circle, but was afraid that he would be chased by people from Medicine King Valley and Gan Shaolong on the way. Although he was not from a family of Zhong Mingding Ding Food, he was very particular about food, clothing, housing and transportation since he debuted in the martial arts world and defected to the Chu prince Ma Xifan. He stepped into the territory of Northern Han and hired a carriage and headed north with Chang Qingqing.

Chang Qingqing didn't cry or make a fuss along the way, but she was unwilling to speak. Liu Gongwen also followed her. Compared to Miao Kexue's crying and making trouble all the way, she forced herself to use poisonous snakes to intimidate her. She also caught a peasant woman to take care of her, which was naturally much worry-free.

On the way from Longzhou to Taiyuan, Liu Gongwen frowned and pondered, and was in a mess. It turned out that the Northern Han requested the Khitan to send troops to assist in the attack on Zhou, but the princes of various units were unintentional to send troops south. When the Huoshendian met, the Taining King Yelu Chacho took the opportunity to rebel and kill Liao Shizong. Unexpectedly, when the King of Yan was drunk, Yelu Chacho sent people to help him into the tent, and he was confused and participated in the rebellion.

After the Khitan tribes, Yelu Abaoji, the Emperor Taizu of Liao, demolished the Diesh tribe, which was constantly rebelling, into the north and south courtyards. Although the country gradually became stable, the tribes also fought in private. Although Liu Gongwen was greedy for wealth, he was also quite scheming. After several considerations, he chose to surrender to the King of Yan Yelu Shuja, who was known as the fence-bearing man.

Now I heard that King Yelu Jing of Shou'an had led his troops to quell the rebellion, and he guessed that the King of Yan might be in danger. He dared to go to the Medicine King Valley to abduct Miao Kexue, and he relied on his connections in the King of Yan's mansion for more than ten years. Now that something happened to the King of Yan, the staff in the mansion must have fallen into a tree and the monkeys were scattered, so his heart was naturally panicked.

After entering the "Wanfu" inn, he asked for a room, but he sent the groom away. Liu Gongwenzheng was worried about why he went. Looking at Chang Qingqing, who was sitting on the round ceremony, he couldn't help but say angrily: "You smile foolishly anymore, let the snake bit you..."

Then he realized that all the four poisonous snakes he had tamed had broken in Xiangzhou. Chang Qingqing naturally didn't know what Liu Gongwen was thinking, but when he saw his face was annoyed, he felt happy. So he snorted coldly, but was not afraid. Seeing her a little ghost, Liu Gongwen said in a deep voice: "Believe it or not, I will hang you in the deep mountains and forests, and let the beasts and poisonous snakes eat you."

Seeing that he didn't look like he was false, Chang Qingqing was also afraid, so he quickly lowered his head and looked at the table but did not dare to make a sound. Liu Gongwen ignored it when he saw this and sat on the bed and closed his eyes and meditated. After about a stick of incense, he opened his eyes and got off the bed. Looking at Chang Qingqing who was lying on the table, he said, "Get up and go out with me."

Chang Qingqing glanced at Liu Gongwen with a smile on his face and muttered to himself that the evil thief seemed to have thought of something good, but he responded: "I won't go anywhere."

However, Liu Gongwen was not angry. He opened the door and turned to stare at Chang Qingqing. The two looked at each other for a moment. Chang Qingqing saw that there was a fierce look in his eyes, so he was scared and had to get up and follow him. After leaving the inn, Liu Gongwen took Chang Qingqing and walked slowly all the way.

This "Wanfu" inn is located on the most prosperous Taiping Street in Taiyuan, with many scattered sides. After a while, Liu Gongwen pulled Chang Qingqing into a musical instrument with the "Yunlin" sign. It turned out that his flute was forced to fall by Gan Shaolong for injury in Xiangzhou. Before he found out, he wanted to buy one.

After carefully selecting the musical instrument paving for a while, he chose a jade flute with the words "Fengming". After paying silver, he walked out of the paving with Chang Qingqing. However, he saw the four horses slowly walking past the door. The two in front were dressed in strong clothes, and the old and the young behind him. Chang Qingqing beside him said "Huh". Seeing her expression slightly surprised, Liu Gongwen said, "What's the matter?"

Chang Qingqing looked at him but did not answer. Liu Gongwen knew that although she was young, her character was not inferior to that of an adult. She said in surprise and said something strange. She looked around, but when she saw people coming and going on the street, she could not see anything strange. She glared at Chang Qingqing and took her back to the inn.

The next day, Liu Gongwen called a waiter and told him to hire a carriage to Yunzhou. The waiter took the reward silver and was very quick to do things. After a while, he called a carriage. When he arrived at the carriage, Liu Gongwen wanted to carry Chang Qingqing into the carriage, but Chang Qingqing was unwilling to climb up by himself and entered the carriage.

Liu Gongwen didn't know that the "Hundred Insects and Poison Sutra" was hidden in Changqingqing's close-fitting clothes. Fortunately, the weather was cold, Changqingqing wore a thicker winter skirt. If it were hot weather, it would be seen by Liu Gongwen long ago.

After walking all the way, it was already noon to Xinzhou. Liu Gongwen found a restaurant in the city. When the waiter saw that he was dressed up by a wealthy family, he led the two of them upstairs and sat down. He ordered the wine and food. He saw three people coming up from the stairs. The three of them sat down at a table next to them. He heard one of the old men say, "Young Master, go to Daizhou tonight for a break, and you will be able to go to Liuling Mountain at noon tomorrow."

The young man replied, "Follow the elder's arrangement."

Liu Gongwen looked at the old and the young, as if he looked familiar. He suddenly remembered that he had seen him before the musical instrument shop yesterday. Liu Gongwen frowned. With his cultivation, he could see that the old man was not inferior to him, and he was secretly warned.

When Chang Qingqing saw him frowning slightly, he was secretly happy. It turned out that the old and young were Weng Mu and Luo Xiaoyao who Chang Qingqing saw outside Cizhou City. Although she was young, she had been through life and death for nearly two months and became quite scheming. She knew that Liu Gong was very good at civil and martial arts. When she saw Weng and Luo and others passing by in Lexing yesterday, she did not dare to say hello. Seeing Liu Gongwen frowning slightly, she saw that he was afraid of Weng and Luo, and she had thoughts in her heart.

After a while, two tables of wine and food were served one after another. Chang Qingqing took a few bites and deliberately dropped the chopsticks on the ground. When he bent over to pick them up, he pushed away the Changchun. He suddenly turned to Weng Mu's table, which was close to the distance, and bowed and said, "Thank you, grandpa, my elder brother for saving his life last time."

Seeing Weng Mu, Luo Xiaoyao and the others looked surprised and hurriedly said, "That lady? That chicken..."

At this time, Liu Gongwen had already arrived beside her, but he reached out to pull her back to the table. Weng and Luo looked at each other and looked at Changqing Shui Lingling's anxious eyes, feeling familiar. Weng Mu looked a little suspicious, "Madam?...oh, you are the little girl who steals... to catch chickens."

When I saw Chang Qingqing outside Cizhou, I was dressed in rags. Now I was dressed like a child from a wealthy family. Weng Mu and Luo Xiaoyao could not recognize her for a while. At this time, I saw her left hand being held by a well-dressed middle-aged scholar, sitting on the table next to me, biting her lips and nodding, but did not answer.

Weng Mu felt something strange and thought, the little girl said that she was eating for her sick adoptive father. Seeing that the middle-aged scholar was dressed well and had spiritual cultivation, she should not be the adoptive father she mentioned. The literati held the little girl's wrist and seemed to be unwilling to be concerned, so she stood up to Liu Gongwen's desk and bowed, "Old Weng Mu, how can you ask who is her sir?"

Weng Mu has rich experience and extraordinary knowledge, and is very good at asking questions. He is suspicious in his heart. Such a question is a sharp idea. First, it is to show that he knows a little girl, and second, it is to doubt the actions of you, a middle-aged scholar.

Liu Gongwen wanted to slap Chang Qingqing in his heart at this time. If it were an ordinary person, he would not take it seriously, but Weng Mu gave him the feeling that his cultivation was unfathomable. He heard Weng Muru's tone of inquiry by the suspect in the government's inquiry, but he did not dare to respond. His mind changed drastically. In order to prevent accidents, he still held Chang Qingqing's vein gate with his right hand and did not stand up. He said, "I'm Chang's surname, and I'm Qingqing's uncle. I wonder what kind of teachings do you have for seniors?"

But if you want to have a close uncle, cousin, a lot of distant families, you can easily wait for an opportunity to lie. But when you hear Weng Mu ask about the Dharma, he thought he must know Chang Qingqing, so he said her name to prove that he is her uncle. The so-called guilty thief is nothing more than this.

"Oh, Mr. Chang, I'll be lucky, I'll be lucky." Weng Mu bowed his hand, but looked at Chang Qingqing and said, "Have your adoptive father recovered from his illness?"

Liu Gongwen was very surprised, but thought Weng Mu and Gan Shaolong knew each other. He was secretly complaining. In shock, he thought about his whole life. When his right hand moved, Chang Qingqing felt a little numb on his left arm. He knew that Liu Gongwen was warning him that if he answered wrongly, he might die on the spot. He bit his lip and replied: "The adoptive father is already well, thank you for your concern."

At a young age, it was not easy for her to use tricks to attract Weng Mu's attention. With her intelligence, she also felt that Liu Gongwen was afraid of Weng Mu. At the critical moment of life and death, she did not dare to speak up.

Weng Mu lowered his head and said nothing after seeing her answer, and he felt even more suspicious, but he couldn't understand the relationship between this. Why did a master of divine thought coerce a little girl who was once a beggar? Now this little girl is controlled by him. Even though her martial arts skills are better than this literati, she couldn't force herself. She smiled and said, "It's great, very good, very good, disturb Mr. Chang."

He sat down on the table when he returned, but saw Luo Xiaoyao frowning and thinking, Weng Mu wanted to ask, but the scholar who claimed to be the surname Chang threw a piece of silver on the table, pulled the little girl up but wanted to leave. The girl named Chang Qingqing seemed unwilling to do so, and pulled her back. The scholar named Chang Qingqing turned around and hummed, and Chang Qingqing lowered her head and shed tears to follow her.

When Liu Gongwen took Chang Qingqing into the building and handed over, Luo Xiaoyao suddenly shouted: "Chang Qingqing, who is Changshan you?"

"Brother, he is... um..." Chang Qingqing's mouth was covered by Liu Gongwen before he finished speaking.

It turned out that when Luo Xiaoyao heard Liu Gongwen's clever answer, he linked his surname and name. He thought about the three words "changqingqing" for a lifetime, but he felt familiar with it. After some thought, he reminded him of Changshan's sister, and he called Changqing. He asked him in doubt, but he was also guessed.
