It was already the seventh day of March, on Mo Forget Island, Chu Nanfeng looked at the invitation sent by Luo Xiaoyao in his hand, his face was filled with joy, he pondered for a moment, and looked at Mu Daocheng, "My niece's happy event and Junior Brother Jiang's son's great wedding are coming soon."
It's been more than ten days. It may take a lot of time for this junior to go this time. Mu Yun is here again..."
Before he finished speaking, Mu Daocheng laughed loudly, "Brother, please go ahead with peace of mind. The evil power of the Gu spirit is not enough to affect Xiao Muyun's mind at the moment. There is no need to rely on the 'Wuji Kung Fu' to teach...
You must know that her foundation is my "Xuan Yuan Chu Jing" technique.
At that time, Xiao Muyun will drive out the poisonous insects with her own power, and her soul will suddenly become clear. I will ask her to meditate on the 'Xuan Yuan Chu Sutra', and then pass it on to help with the true energy, and there will be no danger of stepping onto the threshold of holding the elixir."
In the past two years, Chu Nanfeng or Wu Wangbo would lose to Xiao Muyun's true vitality machine every month when the Gu insect was at its weakest. Especially in the past half year or so, the results have been great. Xiao Muyun's body's Qi machine has now reached the stage of perfection.
force.
Just as Mu Daocheng said, when she was expelling the insects and Gu, the long-eroded mind and spirit were clear, and the true vitality would suddenly burst out like a flood. As long as she guided her thoughts and Mu Daocheng helped,
But it is possible to enter the realm of holding pills.
Luo Xiaoyao also had this thought on the way when he came. Hearing Mu Daocheng's determined words, he couldn't help but beam with joy, "Then... the disciple will be on the island with the master to help the junior sister enter the country."
Chu Nanfeng knew that Xiao Muyun was about to break the poison, so naturally he would not take Luo Xiaoyao, whom he was thinking about deeply, to Kaifeng. Hearing this, he said: "That's great, you can stay on the island. Rou'er's big day is on the sixth day of April.
, plus some social etiquette, I think it will be delayed until the middle of the year, and Mu Yun is almost at that stage to break the poison..."
Chu Nanfeng was deep in thought, but he thought that Mu Daocheng's Nascent Soul cultivation was not weaker than his own, so it would be easy to help Xiao Muyun break through the situation. If he had any doubts, he seemed to be looking down on Mu Daocheng. Thinking of this, he said
: "That being the case, I will send my father back to Taibai Academy with Xilan at that time. Mu Yun's matter will be entirely up to my senior."
"Haha... You and the princess, please be patient and accompany Mr. Chu. I will take her back to Yunzhou then..." Mu Daocheng's smile faded and his eyes narrowed, "Hey, let's accompany her to Nanhan again.
I wish to express my gratitude and kill the evil woman named Zhuo."
Chu Nanfeng and Ma Xilan looked at each other and smiled. If it were not for the fear that Xiao Muyun would not be able to kill his enemy and feel regretful, Mu Daocheng would have gone to the Southern Han Dynasty to kill Zhuo Qinglian.
"Okay, with the seniors protecting you, the juniors can rest assured... Then Xilan and I will spend the Dragon Boat Festival with my father and then return to Moforget Island."
Chu Nanfeng paused for a moment and looked at Luo Xiaoyao, "When your father came to the island last year, he also told me about the assassination of the Liao envoy. Things in the world are unpredictable. I didn't expect Shangyou to be his... Sigh."
"I never thought that Shen Liancheng would help you. It's really a big surprise." Mu Daocheng continued: "That day, Xiang Xiaotian wrote a letter to thank you for helping Mrs. Ji escape from danger. He said that except for court matters, he would do his best to help you.
, I didn’t expect that his disciple would secretly help you at that time... This makes me puzzled."
"This matter is strange. If it were Mr. Ji, he would use this strategy to help you. However, Shen Liancheng has no friendship with us. I heard that he respects his predecessor as a god, so he will not go against his wishes... It seems that
I need to wait for Mr. Ji to come to the island and find an opportunity to find out the reason."
"Brother, I will ask you the question then."
"Xiaoyao..." Mahilan chuckled and said: "Xiao Wanzhen has not come to the island yet. Just like what she told you, she is also entering the country in seclusion. After Mu Yun is out of trouble, if she comes to the island, you can bring her with her.
Let her go north for a walk together..."
"Disciple has noted it down." Luo Xiaoyao responded with a bow.
…
After lunch, Chu Nanfeng and his wife left the island and went to Xu Wenxiang's residence in West Village. They picked up their horses and headed north to the Central Plains. By the time they arrived at a small town in Jiangzhou, it was already close to the time of Xu, but they didn't want to leave the island until the day when Master Jiang Qiubai was happy.
For nearly ten days, I stayed at an inn in the town.
Early the next morning, the couple came to the front hall to have a meal. They saw people coming and going on the nearly four feet wide street in front of the store, and the sounds of various vendors could be heard.
The waiter wiped the table quickly and invited Chu Nanfeng and his wife to take a seat, "Two distinguished guests, please take a seat... This street is where the nearby villages go to the market. Today is the time to go to the market. There are all kinds of snacks here, including steamed buns, steamed buns, and steamed buns.
The couple looked at each other and smiled. Chu Nanfeng nodded and said, "Brother Lao will bring you a vegetarian bun, a steamed cake, and two bowls of rice porridge."
"Okay." The waiter put the rag on his shoulders, bent down and said, "Please wait a moment, my dear, I will go get it right away..."
After a while, the waiter brought the steamed buns and rice porridge, "The steamed buns are on sale, please wait for a while... Would you like to exchange some for me?"
"There's no hurry. It doesn't matter if you wait a little longer." Chu Nanfeng smiled and looked at Ma Xilan, "Come on, let's use it first..."
The two of them had just taken a sip of rice porridge when they heard a shrill barking of a dog from the north. Amid a burst of exclamations, another horse neighed. They saw the waiter standing at the door chatting with someone, speechless and turned around.
After entering, he said to the shopkeeper in the cabinet: "It's incredible... He is the scholar who kills pigs, he..."
"What's wrong with him? What happened?" The shopkeeper also heard the exclamations from outside, and his words came out of the counter.
"He, he actually knows martial arts..."
"Ah?!" The shopkeeper rushed towards the door, "This is really going on..."
Chu Nanfeng and Ma Xilan looked at each other, left their seats and walked outside the store to look around. They saw a group of people standing at the north street intersection about 20 feet away, about thirty people in total. Looking at their clothes,
He should be a guard camp soldier in the Southern Tang Army.
Two feet away from these people and horses, with his back to Chu Nanfeng, stood a man in a green shirt. On the ground behind him on his left side, he could see a yellow dog covered in blood lying on the ground. Three meters in front of him
There was a horse lying on its side at a foot, hissing softly, its legs trembling slightly, but it could not move.
The man in green shirt held a soldier's neck with his right hand, turned his head and looked back at the woman who was two feet behind him, holding a child in her hands, her body still trembling, and said: "Mrs. Gu, please go back to the shop.
…”
Chu Nanfeng saw the appearance of this man at this time. He was a man with a thin face, about forty years old. He had a beard, his hair was tied up in a cloth, and he wore a white washed green shirt.
Like a downtrodden scholar.
At this time, many hawkers had already rushed into the street shops on both sides to hide, leaning half of their bodies to watch. You said something, and I started talking about it: "Oh my God! If the pig-killing scholar hadn't been killed, the Gu family's children would have suffered.
…”
"I didn't expect him to be able to do martial arts. I've seen him grow up!?"
"Looking at how thin he is, and how he can kill pigs for a living that only a humble person can do, well, I should have guessed that he knows martial arts..."
"The horse was pushed down by him until it couldn't get up..."
"Yes, yes, I didn't even see how he flew out of the bunk. In less than a blink of an eye, the horse knelt down and fell to the ground."
But seeing that the horse fell to the ground and couldn't get up, it must have been shaken by someone's internal force and its legs were weak. However, from the low neighing sound, it seemed that the horse had no internal injuries, it was just as if it was exhausted after running for thousands of miles.
Exhausted.
An ordinary master can restrain a horse so that it will not be injured internally and cannot move, but it can only be done by holding down the horse's body with hands or objects. Judging from the state of the horse, at least it can only be achieved by holding a small amount of pills.
It is impossible to achieve this without the Qi machine being able to send and receive it so freely and with such appropriate control.
This pig-killing scholar that everyone calls him has a level of martial arts that is beyond anyone's expectation. Chu Nanfeng was surprised when Ma Xilan asked in a low voice beside him: "But you can see his skills? Is he a master of holding pills?"
?”
Although Mahilan has reached the stage of spiritual consciousness and can also tell the cultivation level from the breath of a person, she is currently far away from the pig-killing scholar. If the pig-killing scholar does not show his Qi, he cannot spy on it.
"Well, it should be a great skill..."
As the two of them were talking, they saw the group of guards leading their horses to the side, and a horse came out of it. A man with a beard in his late forties, who was nearly forty years old, jumped off the horse, and the scholar who was killing pigs walked ten feet in front of him.
He stood still and scolded: "Let him go."
But he asked the pig-killing scholar to let go of the soldier who was strangled by his neck. He only heard the pig-killing scholar chuckle, "Haha, wearing official uniform, he was supposed to protect the people, but instead, relying on his status, he went on a rampage and almost got hurt.
He even killed my own Ah Huang..."
"Huang?" The man with a hammer glanced at the dead yellow dog lying on the ground, "It's just a dog. If you kill it, you will kill it. What will you do with it?"
"It's just a dog." The pig-killing scholar sneered, "Yes, in this world, human life is like a piece of grass, let alone a dog. You can take this person..."
Before he finished speaking, he pushed the soldier in his hand towards the man. When the man reached out to meet him, he staggered back as if he had been hit by a giant hammer. The figure of the pig-killing scholar flashed again.
The soldier was strangled by his neck and returned to his original position.
The man did not hide his Qi when he came out. Mahilan could also tell that he was at the foothills of Mingqiao Mountain. Now he saw that the scholar who had killed the pig had used his strength to hit him and retreated more than ten feet away. He was shocked and said, "
Nanfeng, when he took action, did you see his Qi appear?"
From the moment when the pig-killing scholar pushes out the soldier to when he grabs the soldier and returns him to his original position, it only takes a blink of an eye. With Mahilan's cultivation level, it stands to reason that although he cannot see the level of the pig-killing scholar, he should be able to sense what he has shown.
Qi, at this moment, I saw that there was no movement of Qi in the clothes on his body. He was shocked and asked Chu Nanfeng.
Chu Nanfeng nodded, "Only those who enter the Nascent Soul and have a golden body can make their Qi watertight in an instant..."
Unable to see the fluctuations in Qi from the pig-killing scholar's actions at that moment, Chu Nanfeng concluded that he had entered the realm of Nascent Soul just like himself.
"Ah?!" Ma Xilan was shocked, but she heard the man say: "I didn't expect that in this small village, there is a great master of holding pills. Lei Mou is blind, brother Gu..."
As he spoke, the man surnamed Lei had already taken off the hammers from his waist. When he shouted "Brother Gu", he hit the pig-killing scholar on the head with the hammers.
Everyone screamed, and saw the pig-killing scholar holding the guard in his right hand and retreating quickly. The man surnamed Lei smashed his right hammer into the air, followed by his left hammer. At this time, a sword light shot out in the air, and the lightning struck the wind. He rushed towards the pig-killing scholar in front of him.
At this moment, the pig-killing scholar paused, waved his left hand, and with a muffled sound, he saw the man surnamed Lei retreat violently, and a figure in mid-air flew away at the same time.
"Liu Ren swordsmanship...is it Gu Yanchun?" Ma Xilan asked with surprise on her face.
When Ji Jinghai was teaching Ji Jinyu Sword Technique on Mo Forget Island, Ma Xilan was watching from the sidelines. When the sword light flashed, she recognized it as the move in Liuren Sword Technique. And from the aura of the sword wielder, The machine revealed that he had attained the level of spiritual consciousness, so he guessed that the person who made the move was Gu Yanchun.
Chu Nanfeng nodded, "It should be him."
As expected by the couple, the man wielding the sword was Gu Yanchun. He, Shen Liancheng, Lei Jiao and others were ordered to escort the envoy to Xishu. Passing by this small town, the horse of the front guard was about to crash into the street. When he was a child, the yellow dog of the pig-killing scholar's family pounced on him, but was struck dead by Bingwei's knife.
When the frightened horse raised its hooves, the butchering scholar who was selling meat rushed out and rescued the child in front of the horse's hooves. At the same time, he grabbed the guard on the mount and knocked the frightened horse to the ground. What followed was What happened was what Chu Nanfeng and his wife saw outside the store.
When Lei Jiao noticed that the pig-killing scholar was extraordinary, he called out to Gu Yanchun to help him. Unexpectedly, when Gu Yanchun's long sword and his copper hammer hit three feet in front of the pig-killing scholar, he was hit by a ubiquitous blast. The palm force knocked him and Gu Yanchun back three feet.
Gu Yanchun did a somersault in mid-air to remove the force of the shock, then he fell down and stood still, his heart filled with shock. The cultivation levels of him and Lei Jiao were: one was the Great Perfection of Spiritual Mind, the other was at the foot of Mingqiao Mountain, one was soft and the other was Just, if you join forces and attack together, even though you can't defeat the person who has mastered the skill of Bao Dan, you can't be forced to retreat with just one move.
But when he thought that his senior brother Shen Liancheng was behind him, Gu Yanchun was startled and became timid again. He looked at Lei Jiao who looked frightened, gave a look, and at the same time shouted violently, moving left and right, and attacked again. Pig scholar.
At this time, the pig-killing scholar loosened his right hand and let go of the soldier he was holding. He flashed forward and instead of retreating, he clapped his left palm towards Lei Jiao's copper hammer. With a wave of his right hand, his sleeves were like a waterfall. He suddenly stepped out, but saw the copper hammer in Lei Jiao's left hand flying upside down and falling into the countryside behind him. As soon as Gu Yanchun's long sword touched his sleeve, the sword bent and rebounded, but it hit him. Even people with swords and Lei Jiao were shocked and fell back one after another.
Gu and Lei could not hold back their momentum, and when they collided with the cavalry behind them, they saw the figure of the pig-killing scholar disappear again, and returned to his original position, with his right hand still pinching the neck of the soldier who had not yet regained consciousness.
The villagers and hawkers who crowded in the street shops to watch stared for a moment with eyes wide open and expressions of disbelief and shock on their faces. They were probably afraid of the retaliation of the officers and soldiers in the future, but no one dared to say a word of praise.
Chu Nanfeng was shocked, "This person used softness to overcome hardness. He used the power of his palm to make the copper hammer named Lei fly out of his hand. He also used hardness to control softness and knocked back Gu Yanchun's energy. He must be very powerful."
"Oh?!" Mahilan asked doubtfully: "But see where he came from?"
"No. He has no moves to speak of. Both of his attacks were preemptive. The first time he retreated to avoid the attack of the man named Lei, he was waiting for Gu Yanchun's attack, so he used one move to force the two of them back at the same time.
He just let go of Bingwei, but he took action when Gu and Lei were halfway through the attack. He went in the opposite direction, using skill to defeat force, and force to defeat skill. The great thing is that his Qi can distinguish between hard and strong at the same time.
, Soft strength...I don’t know what kind of technique can do it."
As Chu Nanfeng spoke, he saw that the guards at the north intersection were steering their horses sideways to pass the retreating figures of Gu and Lei. As their horses neighed, seven or eight guards jumped up and dismounted.
He stood in front of the two of them with his sword.
At this time, the pig-killing scholar raised his right hand, and the guard in his hand rose into the air, but his body was thrown to the roof of the street shop on the right. The shops on both sides of the street were built with two floors, more than two feet in length.
So high, the soldier's body landed on the roof, but there was no sound.
Then I saw the pig-killing scholar move, and he ducked into a shop on the left, and then appeared on the street again, with a wine gourd in his hand. He pulled out the stopper of the gourd, raised his head and took a sip.
, glanced sideways at the dead yellow dog on the ground, laughed loudly, and walked towards the intersection five feet away.
The intersection was in the shape of a cross, nearly two feet wide from east to west, with a street wall to the south, and a post road with trees on both sides to the north. When the pig-killer came to the middle of the intersection, the guards in front of the forest road looked at each other and then
He raised his sword and attacked him.
Chu Nanfeng, who was at the door of the inn, thought about it, took Ma Xilan's hand and walked onto the street. Just as he was walking towards the north, he heard the innkeeper say in shock: "Two distinguished guests, what are you doing?"
You can’t go!”
When the shopkeeper saw that Chu Nanfeng and his wife were heading towards the fight, he was naturally frightened.
"Thank you for your concern, shopkeeper." Chu Nanfeng tilted his head and nodded slightly with a smile, and then walked away hand in hand with Ma Xilan.
I heard the waiter's voice coming from behind me, "Shopkeeper... I think these two distinguished guests are also people with martial arts skills. Didn't you hear what the gentleman just said about using skill to overcome force..."
"Why didn't I hear you? You are a layman, what do you know..." the shopkeeper scolded in a low voice. He was shocked by the fighting scene, but he did not hear the words of Chu Nanfeng and his wife.
Hearing the awkward "hehe" from the waiter in the shop, Chu Nanfeng and Ma Xilan couldn't help but look at each other and smile.
When he reached the shop where the pig-butchering scholar flashed in, Chu Nanfeng paused, looked up at the wooden plaque of 'Li Ji Butcher Shop', looked at the meat case placed horizontally at the entrance of the shop, and shook his head, "
Unexpectedly, a person with such skill would be hiding in this small town and killing pigs for a living..."
"I just heard someone say that seeing him grow up...could it be a secret skill passed down from his family?" Mahilan asked suspiciously.
Several wailing sounds were heard, and seven or eight soldiers at the intersection were seen slashing at the pig-killing scholar. Their bodies all flew up in all directions, some fell to the post road in the forest behind them, and some fell to both sides.
Among the fields.
At this time, two strong men in their thirties appeared next to Gu and Lei. They were all skilled in spiritual cultivation. The four of them looked at each other, slowly spread out, stood in a semicircle, and stared at the person in the middle of the intersection.
The pig-killing scholar took three breaths, and suddenly he attacked him with all his moves at the same time.
There is a saying in the world that 'three divine thoughts can break the elixir'. Although this may not be true, with the combined strength of Gu Yanchun and the four of them, they can still defeat the person who has achieved great success in the elixir.
I saw the figure of the pig-killing scholar flashing forward like a ghost to the man on the left. As soon as the wine gourd in his left hand touched his back, his right hand actually clasped his wrist, just like a teacher teaching his disciple how to practice swords.
, and turned the sword in the man's hand to stab Reggio.
The change in the lightning and flint was something Lei Jiao didn't expect. He had lost his left hammer. Suddenly he saw his companion's long sword thrust towards his right shoulder. He hurriedly drew back his move to protect him, but felt his forearm go cold.
He was scratched by the tip of the sword. He was horrified when he saw the figure of his companion crashing into him. He quickly retreated, but he couldn't avoid it. He collided with the man and fell together more than ten feet behind him.
at.
On the way, Gu Yanchun saw the figure of the pig-killing scholar flashing into the air, and he knew something was wrong. He hurriedly changed his backhand and struck with the sword horizontally. However, he saw the pig-killing scholar approaching with his sleeves waving. The sword was instantly caught by his sleeve, and he
The companion next to him let out a strange scream, raised his knife and struck randomly out of thin air as if he was possessed by a demon, and then saw him fall to the ground on his back.
But knowing that his companion was knocked down by someone using the Fetal Pill spiritual consciousness, Gu Yanchun's soul was greatly exasperated. He immediately knew that the Shazhu Xiucai was a person with Nascent Soul cultivation level, so he immediately gave up his sword and retreated. He only heard the Zhuzhu Xiucai chuckle,
With a move of his right hand, the long sword caught in his sleeve suddenly turned upside down and struck Gu Yanchun's chest.
At this moment, a harsh sound broke through the air, and a long sword flashed with white light and shot out from the post road in the forest, hitting the sword that was about to stab Gu Yanchun. There was a crisp sound of "dang", and sparks flashed.
, a figure had already landed beside Gu Yanchun.
The visitor pulled Gu Yanchun behind him with his left hand, and caught the sword with his right hand at the same time. The long sword that was shot at Gu Yanchun continued to fly quickly, and landed in the field after nearly ten feet.
Fortunately, Gu Yanchun attacked sideways, with his back to the northeast. The incoming man had the opportunity to throw a long sword from the forest in the north, hitting the blade and saving him. In addition, when the incoming man threw the sword, his body followed him and pulled him away.
If it hadn't been like this, the sword that was only deflected by two inches might have stabbed Gu Yanchun in the left shoulder.
The person who took action was a man in his fifties, wearing a futou, a blue brocade robe with dark flowers, and a pale face. He looked at the pig-killing scholar with a complicated expression for a moment, and then held his hand in a salute: "Shen is not strict with me, what a shame."
Offended."
Chu Nanfeng and Ma Xilan, who were standing in front of the butcher shop, looked at each other and nodded at the same time, guessing that the person coming was Shen Liancheng, Ji Jinghai's senior brother.
It turned out that when everyone was fighting with the pig-killing scholar, Shen Liancheng had been guarding the envoy's official sedan on the post road in the forest. He had been in the military for decades and had rich fighting experience. When Gu Yanchun's sword was caught, he knew
Unfortunately, he expected that the pig-killing scholar would counterattack, so he was able to seize the opportunity and save Gu Yanchun in the lightning flash.
The pig-killing scholar with his back to Chu Nanfeng chuckled, "Oh, is there a reasonable person coming out just now?"
Shen Liancheng already knew that the cultivation of the pig-killing scholar was not easy to deal with. Hearing the sarcasm in his words, he pretended not to notice it. Hearing the words, he said: "It is just because of urgent government affairs that this servant has been reckless and offensive. I hope you will forgive me."
"It's an emergency? If it weren't for Eight Hundred Miles of Military Intelligence, who would dare to run rampant on the post road?" The pig-killing scholar paused, took a sip from the wine gourd, and said, "Even if it was Eight Hundred Miles of Military Intelligence, he still had to drink.
Tell passers-by to avoid each other, don’t your men know the law? Don’t you see people coming and going on this street?”
Shen Liancheng wanted to calm down the matter, so he responded: "What you said is true, but what happened has happened, and fortunately no one was injured..."
Before he finished speaking, the pig-killing scholar laughed and said, "Then my Ah Huang's death was in vain if he said that?"
"Shen does not dare to think so. I am willing to pay ten taels of silver as compensation, but I hope you will calm down."
"Haha, if someone died just now... Mr. Shen, do you also want to pay money to solve the problem like this?"
