Xiao Muyun became even more nervous after hearing this. He looked at Luo Xiaoyao who was standing next to Yelu Zongwu not far away, but saw that he was also nervous. He thought that the boy named Luo looked like he was worried that Mr. Chu would lose. Could it be that he was worried about Mr. Chu's defeat?
I met Mr. Chu... Thinking of this, he stood on tiptoes and approached Mu Daocheng's ear and whispered in his ear: "Master, will Mr. Chu lose? And what is the relationship between the boy named Luo and Mr. Chu?"
"Little Muyun is so smart, guess what...hehe." Mu Daocheng smiled slightly.
At this time, Chu and Yan Zhongchangfu started fighting again, but they went from fast to slow. At first, Yan Zhongchang made more than ten moves with his fists and palms to attack. Chu Nanfeng saw the moves, and both of them were as fast as lightning.
After twenty moves, Yan Zhongchang's Qi was still domineering and his fists whirred, but his speed had slowed down. It turned out that after Chu Nanfeng took more than forty moves from Yan Zhongchang,
After having a little understanding of the changes in the "Dragon Elephant Kung Fu" of Yan Zhongchang's thirty-two moves, he started using the "Taichu Heart Sutra" and used the "Bairou Palm" palm technique.
This "Hundred-Rouble Palm" palm technique combines hardness and softness, while the "Taichu Heart Sutra" has a long Qi force. Using both of them makes the moves too long and slows down Yan Zhongchang's speed in changing moves.
If Chu Nanfeng had not known about the martial arts competition between Yi Wuwei and Liao Jue, he would not have found a way to deal with it so quickly. You must know that Yi Wuwei only thought of using the "Bairou Palm" to deal with Jue after ninety-odd moves.
The Master's Dragon Elephant Magic Skill.
"Bairou Palm" uses slowness to control fast, and softness to overcome hardness. Yan Zhong's Chang Gang Qi is fierce and fierce, and his moves are as fast as lightning. When he strikes with Chu Nanfeng's "Bai Rou Palm", the Gang Qi in his fist is like a strike.
On a wave of lake water, it was dispersed, and only 80% of the energy actually collided with the Chunan wind machine. However, the 20% of the dispersed energy actually rebounded, which made Yan Zhongchang dare not use up his remaining energy.
out.
The fight between the two gradually slowed down. When they were about to take a breath, Yan Zhongchang shouted and punched out with his right fist, forcing Chu Nanfeng to take a step back, but he also took two steps back. After standing still, he smiled and said
: "So that's it. Yan also said that Mr. Chu is really a member of Senior Mu's sect. Now we know that he is an elder of Luo Xiaoyou's sect. Okay, okay, haha..."
After Chu Nanfeng sent out the "Taichu Heart Sutra", Yan Zhongchang naturally saw the origin of Chu Nanfeng. He also saw that Luo Xiaoyao possessed the "Taichu Heart Sutra" in Daizhou, so he waited for an opportunity to kidnap him.
Ma Xingkong seemed to be waking up from a dream. He looked at Mu Daocheng, who was laughing and laughing, and realized that this was what he thought.
Luo Xiaoyao felt a look staring at him. He looked sideways and saw Xiao Muyun looking at him with a thick smile. He remembered that this look was exactly the same as when he looked at him up and down in the post house, and immediately turned his head to look at the field.
Chu Nanfeng's face was slightly red, but the sound of Xiao Muyun's chuckle could be heard in his ears, but even his ears felt hot.
At this time, Chu Nanfeng was one step further away from the center of the circle than Yan Zhongchang. The two of them were already ten feet away from each other. When he heard Yan Zhongchang's words, Chu Nanfeng smiled and did not answer.
Yan Zhongchang paused for a moment, then suddenly raised his hands flat on the palms, and the clothes on his body moved automatically without any wind, making a rustling sound. Chu Nanfeng knew that he still had two moves of the thirty-two moves of "Dragon Elephant Skill" that he had not used yet, so he would
The qi machine is circulating around the sky, and you are waiting attentively.
But when Yan Zhongchang shouted violently, turned his palm into a fist, and struck out with the "elephant invisible" move, Chu Nanfeng saw countless fists coming in front of him. It seemed like a breeze at first, but it was two feet in front of him.
However, just like a giant wave rolling over, he had cultivated "His Mind" and could see where the fist was in the shadows of many fists. When he saw this, he quickly used the move "Follow the Wave" and cut into the fist.
When the fists and palms of the two people met, everyone saw that the grass on both sides of Chu Nanfeng's body was rolled back, and they saw his feet retreating smoothly, but he was pushed by Yan Zhongchang until he was only one step away from the circle line.
When Xiao Muyun exclaimed, Chu Nanfeng steadied his body, stepped forward with his right foot, turned sideways, lowered his shoulders and elbows, and pressed Yan Zhongchang's right hand back to his chest. At the same time, his left palm passed through his face and struck Yan Zhongchang's left shoulder.
, just as Yan Zhongchang was retreating, Chu Nanfeng had already taken advantage of the situation and stepped out with his left foot. With a twist of his body, he turned behind Yan Zhongchang and swung out his palms with both hands. Between the lightning and flint, he struck towards Yan Zhongchang who was about to turn around.
Yan Zhongchang, an overwhelming force of energy knocked him back two steps, but he was out of the circle.
It turns out that Chu Nanfeng used Wu Wangbo's "Wuji Gong" mentality: defend oneself, and take advantage of the situation to change the enemy. When Yan Zhong's long fist arrived, he used the "Bairou Palm" move to "go with the flow" to separate the two.
Once the Gang Qi is formed, it then cuts in to connect with Yan Zhong Chang's fist and wrist, sticks to Yan Zhong Chang's fist wrist, and follows the momentum of his fist's Gang Qi. When Yan Zhong Chang Fist's Gang Qi is about to strike again,
However, he rushed forward to gather his energy and spun around in a flash of lightning, forcing Yan Zhongchang out of the circle.
But when he saw Yan Zhongchang, who had stepped out of the circle three feet away, he looked annoyed and suddenly shouted in the direction of the felt tent six or seven feet away. The felt tent seemed to have been blown by a hurricane and flew three feet away and fell into pieces. Fortunately,
There was no one living inside, and if there were anyone there, they would definitely be seriously injured by Yan Zhongchang's lion's roar technique.
Mu Daocheng sighed: "Mr. Yan's move of "Dragon Roaring Nine Heavens" must be overbearing. If the big brother hadn't used the move in time and used the strength of each other to force the Lion King away, I'm afraid the winner would be Mr. Yan.
"
Yan Zhongchang remained silent, raised his head and looked up at the sky. After a few breaths, he cupped his fists at Chu Nanfeng and said, "Mr. Chu is extremely intelligent. Yan has lost."
"Mr. Yan is overly praised. Mr. Chu was just lucky enough to get the upper hand and accept the concession."
"When Yan met Luo Xiaoyou in Daizhou that day, he saw that at such a young age and in the state of returning to his true state, he almost defeated a person in the state of spiritual consciousness. Hehe, he should have thought that his master was not an ordinary person, but he did not expect that
Mr. Chu is so strong, so good, so good. Every teacher has his disciple, I admire him, I admire him."
The last sentence was naturally a pun. Yan Zhongchang only said that Yi Wuwei would tell Chu Nanfeng about the fight with Liao Jue, but he did not expect that Chu Nanfeng would have told Chu Nanfeng if Mu Daocheng had not mentioned it.
Yi Wuwei knew nothing about the martial arts competition.
Yi Wuwei is in the Nascent Soul Realm, and he has the "mind state connection" in Wu, while Master Jiejue is in the golden body state, and has the "spiritual state connection" technique. Both techniques can control objects with Qi, and they can use one mind to attack the enemy.
, without having to do it yourself, the two of them are almost equal in cultivation. If they were to distinguish themselves based on their moves and magical powers, they would probably have to fight for three days and three nights without even being able to tell the winner.
Therefore, Liao Jue drew a circle on the ground and competed with Yi Wuwei for his long and strong Qi. However, Yi Wuwei had the advantage. When Liao Jue was about one foot away from the line, he used a move of "reciprocating a favor" and used his strength to force him out.
Outside the circle, it was not like Chu Nanfeng was forced to one step outside the circle by Yan Zhongchang, forcing Yan Zhongchang, who already had the advantage, out of the circle.
When Yan Zhongchang found out about Chu Nanfeng's identity, he was wary of repeating the same mistakes as he did when he realized that he had lost to Yi Wuwei. However, he did not expect that when Chu Nanfeng was at a disadvantage, Chu Nanfeng would take advantage of the situation and force himself to do so.
Retreat, and then use a move to "smoothly push the boat" to knock himself out of the line. His words actually have the meaning of admiration.
Chu Nanfeng naturally pretended that he didn't know what happened back then. After hearing what Yan Zhongchang said, he smiled slightly and said, "Mr. Yan, you are so complimentary. I hope you can remove the restraint on Qi from my young disciple."
Each method has its own way of controlling the Qi machine. It is not impossible for Chu Nanfeng to unlock the meridians and acupuncture points that Luo Xiaoyao has been restrained from, but it will take some time. And saying this also means to save face for Yan Zhongchang.
How could it be that Yan Zhongchang didn't know that he didn't answer when he heard the words? He walked to Yelu Zongwu and said: "General Yelu, follow me back to the post house."
He bowed his hands in front of everyone, and when he entered the side door of the atrium, he said: "The movement of Qi in the meridians of your body is different from that of ordinary people. Every three hours, it will break through Yan's restriction. Why should Mr. Chu give Yan some face, haha...
” He walked away with loud laughter.
Chu Nanfeng was startled when he heard this. He looked at Mu Daocheng and came to Luo Xiaoyao's side, wondering: "Is this really happening?"
Luo Xiaoyao's face turned red, "Shortly after arriving at the posthouse in the city that day, his energy recovered. Unexpectedly, the lion king was sitting next to him, and he immediately knew that he had been suppressed again."
Chu Nanfeng taught him martial arts for ten years, but he didn't know that Luo Xiaoyao's meridians were abnormal in the movement of qi. He felt ashamed at that moment. Mu Daocheng walked up to Luo Xiaoyao, held Luo Xiaoyao's vein gate, remained silent for a moment, and smiled.
Said: "When will little friend Luo enter the realm of returning to his true nature?"
"That's it..." Chu Nanfeng immediately woke up and looked at Mu Daocheng with a smile.
Mu Daocheng laughed loudly: "Okay, think of him as a martial arts prodigy, haha..."
Xiao Yanbei and others were naturally puzzled, but they did not dare to ask for fear of violating the taboo of martial arts practitioners.
"Brother, please go to the hall and wait for a while." Mu Daocheng glanced at the remaining felt tent seven or eight feet away, then turned to Xiao Yanbei and said, "Yanbei, come with me."
After saying this, he walked directly towards the felt tent. Xiao Yanbei did not dare to hesitate and followed closely. After entering the felt tent, Mu Daocheng smiled and said to Xiao Yanbei: "Yanbei, what do you think of brother's martial arts?"
?”
Xiao Yanbei didn't know what he meant for a moment, so he said: "Mr. Chu has outstanding martial arts skills and extraordinary intelligence. He is a master in this world."
Mu Daocheng nodded, "Well, what do you think about letting Mu Yun become his disciple?"
Xiao Yanbei was stunned for a moment, remembering what Zhuo Wu told him about what Chu Nanfeng had done in Xizhou, and couldn't help but hesitate. Mu Daocheng only said that he was reluctant to let Xiao Muyun leave, so he smiled and said: "Let Mu Yun follow
My eldest brother will go back to Taibai Mountain in a year, why do you look like this, are you reluctant to leave?"
"That's not the case. It's just that my disciple has a military position and Mr. Chu is a Han Chinese. If the two countries go to war in the future..."
Only then did Mu Daocheng understand what Xiao Yanbei meant, and he couldn't help but snorted: "What a war between two countries... Then I ask you, you should be older than Brother Chu, right? The skills taught by me are not weak, and you
My martial arts skills are not as good as those of my elder brother, do you know why?"
"Mr. Chu's extraordinary talent and his disciple's stupidity, how can they compare with him..."
"Hmph, this is not just a matter of intelligence. You must know the fate of a country, just like the realm of martial arts practitioners. If your understanding is not enough or your skills are wrong, don't force yourself to practice, otherwise you will go crazy and your martial arts will be useless. You understand what I mean
Do you mean it?"
Xiao Yanbei was shocked when he heard this, and then heard Mu Daocheng say: "Do you know the reason why when the Sixteen Provinces of Youyun first returned to the Khitan, more Han people moved southward, but in recent years there has been less migration to the south?"
"First, during the reign of Emperor Taizong, he adopted the policy of "making things according to the customs." Second, in the past few years, the Central Plains has also been undergoing continuous wars... I have little knowledge, but I have heard that benevolent kings have the common people in the world at heart and do not act lightly.
If an attack wins the hearts of the people, there will naturally be a response. If it is not an act of invasion and plunder, how can anyone resist?" Xiao Yanbei suddenly broke out in a cold sweat after hearing this.
"You can't tolerate a Han who is good for your daughter. How can you tolerate other Hans? How can you dare to take over the world?" Mu Daocheng said solemnly.
Xiao Yanbei hurriedly bowed and said, "I know I made a mistake, and I hope Master will forgive me. I should remember Master's teachings."
Unexpectedly, I heard Mu Daocheng say coldly: "Don't forget that I am also a Han."
Xiao Yanbei trembled all over and knelt down on the ground, sweating profusely and not daring to move for a long time.
When Yan Zhongchang and Yelu Zongwu returned to the post house, they saw that the lanterns on the corridor in the front yard had been lit up, and there was a burst of conversation in the front hall. Yan Zhongchang walked and said: "The day after tomorrow is the day after tomorrow for the princess and Fu Ma.
On this big day, there are quite a few officials here to congratulate you, so I’m afraid it won’t be quiet tonight.”
Yelu Zongwu nodded, "I think most of the people are from the South Campus, and most of them know Mr. Yan."
Yan Zhongchang frowned and did not answer. He followed the corridor on the right, avoiding the sight of the guests in the front hall, and turned into the courtyard on the right side of the post house, presumably because he did not want to be disturbed.
As soon as he entered the wing and changed out of his clothes, a postman came to the door carrying a lantern and bowed in greeting: "Master Yan, there is a Master Wei who claims to be from the Guards House, asking to see him..."
"Master Wei of the Guards House?" Yan Zhongchang was startled when he heard this. The Guard Houses of the North and South Courtyards of Khitan belong to the Guards Department and are the personal guards of the Khitan Emperor. Yan Zhongchang has never heard of anyone named Wei in the Guards House of the South Courtyard.
After hesitating for a moment, he walked out of the wing room into the living room in the side courtyard and said, "Invite him in."
After a while, an old man in his sixties wearing ordinary clothes entered the living room under the guidance of a postman. He bowed his hands to Yan Zhongchang and saluted, "Wei Tong has met Mr. Yan."
When Yan Zhongchang heard that he did not report his official title, he knew that he was a guest minister in the Imperial Guard House. Although the so-called guest minister did not have an official position, he had great power and could come and go freely. Of course, his status was respected, and few people would resign their status as a guest minister. As in
The guest ministers in the Guard House are only under the control of the Grand Master and Taibao of the Guard Department.
The Liao Kingdom Guards Department was the emperor's personal bodyguard, and being able to serve as a guest minister in it shows his martial arts skills. The guard house where Yan Zhongzhang was located was set up to protect the royal family, nobles and officials. In terms of the origin of Wei Tong, he was better than Yan
Zhong Chang has a higher status, but they have no official positions, so they usually call each other "Mr."
Yan Zhongchang cupped his hands and said, "Mr. Wei, please sit down."
After Wei Tong took out a letter from his arms and handed it to Yan Zhongchang, he just sat down. Yan Zhongchang glanced at Wei Tong, opened the letter and looked at it carefully, "It turns out to be Mr. Wei from the North Court Guard House. No wonder Yan Zhongchang
I heard that I am a stranger. I am glad to meet you. I am glad to meet you."
Wei Tong smiled and said, "Wei has been in Beijing for a long time, so Mr. Yan is not familiar with him."
Yan Zhongchang nodded, then frowned, "Mr. Wei, where are the other three guest ministers and the people from Qin Tianjian now?"
Wei Tong thought he already knew the content of the letter, and after hearing the words, he said: "The princess's phoenix will arrive tomorrow morning. Mr. Yan can leave with us at noon tomorrow."
Yan Zhongchang nodded and said: "That's the only way."
Wei Tong stood up and left, but Yan Zhongchang did not insist on staying. He thought he knew Wei Tong had his own place to go. When Wei Tong left, he called the postman to prepare some food and wine. When the wine and food were served, he called Yelu Zongwu. Yelu Zongwu saw the sun.
Yan Zhongchang was defeated by Chu Nanfeng. He expected that he was in a bad mood and did not dare to come and disturb Yan Zhongchang. However, he did not expect that Yan Zhongchang would call him over with a smile.
Yan Zhongchang filled the wine glass on the table, raised his glass and said: "General Yelu, congratulations, Yan will do it first."
Yelu Zongwu was stunned, and Chief Yan Zhong put down the wine glass, "Yan just received a letter from the Taibao Lord. The emperor knows that the rebellion of King Yan has nothing to do with General Yelu, and has ordered General Yelu to be the commander of the South Courtyard Guards. He will make contributions in the future."
, it is not difficult for the emperor to grant the throne, haha..."
Yelv Zongwu was overjoyed when he heard this. He was lucky enough not to have King Yan rebel and execute him. How could he dare to ask for a throne? It was unexpected that he could be promoted from a local camp officer to the commander of the palace guards.
"Commander Yelu is now considered a colleague of Yan, and he will be able to represent the Nanyuan Guards Mansion at the wedding banquet for the princess and her consort the day after tomorrow." Yelu Zongwu didn't know what he meant at the moment and did not dare to answer.
"Yan will leave on important matters tomorrow. Commander Yelu will be able to return to the South Courtyard Guard House to perform his duties after the banquet."
Yan Zhongchang looked at Yelv Zongwu who looked suspicious, and pondered for a moment before saying: "Yan may have to go out for ten and a half months... Then Mr. Liu will take Yan's letter back to Youzhou, and he will probably win over some good people.
At that time, Yelu Tong will take the lead in arranging for them to settle down. If they are willing to serve in the Guard House, they should be allowed to serve as guest ministers. In the future, Commander Yelu will be promoted and they will follow Commander Yelu. It is fine. What do you think, Commander Yelu?"
When Yelu Zongwu heard the previous sentence, he thought that Yan Zhongchang had lost face at the hands of Chu Nanfeng and deliberately found an excuse to avoid going. After Yan Zhongchang finished speaking, he realized that he had been wrong and nodded immediately.
, "Zong Wu should abide by Mr. Yan's arrangements, but please rest assured, Mr. Yan, Zong Wu has something... I don't know whether I should talk about it or not?"
"Commander Yelu just says it's okay."
It turns out that when he saw Chu Nanfeng in Xiao Yanbei's house today, Yelv Zongwu felt that he was being chased by cavalry in Xizhou, but he was not sure. At that time, he was behind the cavalry and was galloping.
For a while, I never saw Nanfeng's face clearly, but later I remembered the description of the man named Qin who entered the city to assassinate him, and then I thought of Luo Xiaoyao, and vaguely guessed that Chu Nanfeng was the person who was chased and killed by the Khitan cavalry when he was in Xizhou.
"Judging from his skill and relationship with Senior Lengdao, he is not a follower or worshiper of the general in the army. I think he just happened to meet him. Try to be careful when you meet him in the future." Yan Zhongchang said thoughtfully.

After Youzhou was offered to the Khitan by the Later Jin Dynasty, it was renamed Youdu Prefecture in the first year of Emperor Taizong Huitong of the Liao Dynasty, and the Nan Dawang Courtyard was set up in Youdu Prefecture, so it was also called Nanjing.
It was already dark at Youzhou time. In the hall of the Tongbao Pavilion on the East Street of Youzhou City, there was a person sitting on the armchairs on the left and right. On the left was Weng Mu, who came from Daizhou. He looked at a man who was nearly five years old opposite.
Ten days ago, the man with thick eyebrows and big eyes said: "Guanshi Sikong, you said that this Yan Zhongchang is an enshrinement of the Liao people's Nanyuan Guard House... Will that mean that the young master was taken to the guard house?"
That man was Sikong Ran, the steward of the Youzhou branch. Hearing this, he shook his head and said, "It shouldn't be possible. I've sent people to inquire about the Daming Temple and the South Campus Guard House in the past two days, but no Yan Zhongchang has returned.
According to the news, I am afraid that something happened on his way to stop him."
"It's been three days since I took a shortcut here..." Weng Mu frowned and muttered, seeming to realize something. He raised his head and looked into the courtyard. He saw a man standing in the courtyard, wearing a jade crown on his head and wearing a
He has an ink-colored cloak, sword-shaped eyebrows flying at an angle, a beautiful beard, and dark eyes that are full of energy. He is elegant and somewhat domineering, yet powerful without being angry.
Weng Mu and Sikong Ran looked at each other with surprise on their faces. At the same time, they stood up and walked out of the hall, bowing to the visitor and saying, "I've met the Pavilion Master."
The person who came was none other than Luo Xiaoyao’s father, Luo Hanshui, the master of Tongbao Pavilion.
Seeing the two people saluting, he smiled and said "Huh" and walked into the hall. After sitting down at the main seat, he smiled and said: "The second girl wants to see her grandpa. I just sent her to Luoyang. I learned that Xiaoyao's
Things just happened in a hurry."
It turns out that Luo Xiaoyao's mother, Fan, was from the Chu region and her family was wealthy. Her father was a big tea merchant in the Chu region. When she and her wife went from the Chu region to visit Fan, who was eight months pregnant, they were kidnapped by bandits on the waterway.
After Luo Hanshui learned of the murder, he deliberately concealed the news, but it was eventually found out by Fan. Half a year after giving birth to Luo Xiaoyao, Fan died in depression.
When Luo Xiaoyao was ten years old, Luo Hanshui remarried and gave birth to a daughter. This time he took his wife and daughter to Luoyang to visit relatives. After receiving the news that Luo Xiaoyao was about to be robbed, he rushed to Youzhou.
Looking at Weng Mu with a guilty look on his face, Luo Hanshui chuckled and said: "Elder Weng, don't worry. Although there is something fishy about this matter, I think this Yan Zhongchang is probably going after Brother Chu. He kidnapped Xiaoyao just to force Brother Chu."
If you look for him, you won't do anything to Xiaoyao."
"Zhongzhang Yan, regardless of his status, attacked and kidnapped the young master. This cannot be treated with common sense."
Luo Hanshui nodded: "The news is that the elder and Xiaoyao are preparing to go to Liuling Mountain to meet Brother Chu?"
Weng Mu then told Luo Hanshui what he heard in Taibai Mountain. Luo Hanshui was a little surprised: "It turns out that Liu Gongwen is hiding in Youzhou, no wonder he can't be found... Haha, there is a Yanwang Palace and a Daming Temple.
Nanfeng is quite busy now."
Looking at Sikong Ran, "I haven't seen you for two years. Manager Sikong has become more and more powerful. Can you find out Liu Gongwen's whereabouts?"
"Back to the master, the Liao people rebelled and now have a new master. The King of Yan seems to have participated in the rebellion. All the staff and disciples in the palace have fallen into disarray and gone their separate ways. It is difficult to investigate now."
Luo Hanshui thought for a moment, "I heard about the change of ownership in the Liao Dynasty, but I didn't know that the Prince of Yan's Palace was related to it. It seems that it will not be easy for Brother Chu to find the evil thief. Sikong is in charge of affairs. You can find a dignitary who is familiar with you.
Let’s check it out, maybe it’s possible.”
Tongbao Pavilion is a bank account, so he will naturally be familiar with some high-ranking officials. Liu Gongwen has been in Prince Yan's Mansion for a long time, so he must have known some high-ranking officials. After hearing Luo Hanshui's instructions, Sikong Ran said hurriedly: "I obey."
In the Zen room of the abbot of Daming Temple on Miaofeng Mountain in the west of the city, an old monk with snow-white eyebrows sat cross-legged on a futon. It was the abbot and the abbot who woke up. He closed his eyes and fell into meditation. He seemed to be aware of something. When he woke up, he suddenly opened his eyes and said slowly.
: "The donor is already here, why don't you come in and sit..."
After a long time, no one responded. After waking up, he chanted "Amitabha". The beads in his hands moved and formed a line. They shot out through the wooden window framed with yellow and white oil paper. Two breaths later, the beads actually came out of the window.
The paper hole returned the same way, and stood still for a few feet in front of him. He said "Huh", and with a thought in his mind, he reached out and took down the Buddhist beads hanging in front of his eyes, stood up and left the meditation room.
