On that day, Qi Zhousheng fled back to Shaozhou in confusion. He was busy looking for someone who had achieved great spiritual consciousness in the army to help him remove the Qi restriction from his body. Chu Nanfeng, who was not even more than forty years old, was already
Once you have entered the realm of Nascent Soul, how can ordinary masters break it? Even if you are in the same realm as Chu Nanfeng, it will take a while to break the Qi restrictions he has set.
Qi Zhousheng had an elder from his sect who served in the army of the Southern Han Dynasty. He was eager for quick success by nature. Six years ago, he wanted to take a shortcut to join the army by relying on his connections. However, it was difficult for him to find a position like guest minister if he had not cultivated to the true realm.
At that time, he only had the Dacheng cultivation level of Guyuan, so he could only find a guard position in the state government office. However, he was handsome and handsome, but he was attracted by Zhuo Qinglian, who was a special agent in Shaozhou.
The Southern Han Dynasty used eunuchs many times. After Liu Sheng ascended the throne, he believed that people with families would not be loyal to the court. They ordered that all those who wanted to gain fame must be castrated, and women were allowed to participate in politics. It was not uncommon for female officials to preside over government in various states.
This Zhuo Qinglian was originally the personal bodyguard of Lu Qiongxian, one of the maids in the imperial court, and was re-appointed as Shaozhou's special commander. Because of Lu Qiongxian's power, he was as powerful as the governor of the state.
Qi Zhousheng wanted to be rich, so he married Zhuo Qinglian, who was six years older than him. At that time, it was normal for a man to have three wives and four concubines, but Zhuo Qinglian could not tolerate Wenxiang's existence. She was afraid of falling out of favor with the court.
, he himself did not want to have a child, so when he saw that Qi Zhousheng was thinking about the child, he agreed to take the child.
When the Southern Han Dynasty and the Southern Tang Dynasty were fighting for Chu territory, she was ordered to supervise the army and left a letter ordering Qi Zhousheng to kill Xu Wenxiang. However, after Qi Zhousheng received Xu Wenxiang's mother and daughter, he was hesitant, but he was reluctant to kill Xu Wenxiang.
, after Xu Wenxiang accidentally discovered the message left by Zhuo Qinglian, he took his daughter and fled overnight. However, just when Qi Zhousheng was about to ruthlessly attack her, he was rescued by Chu Nanfeng.
At this moment, Qi Zhousheng lost all his skills and was like an ordinary person. Seeing that the masters he found in the army could not unlock the Qi restriction, and listening to the masters around him deducing that the person who did it was either a unique skill or a master of holding elixirs, he felt even more confused.
He was shocked. He knew that in order to unlock the restrictions on his body, Chu Nanfeng would have to unlock it himself, or find someone with a similar level of cultivation as Chu Nanfeng. Looking at the people he knew, he actually
No one has achieved great success in cultivating the elixir.
She was worried that if she took her daughter Xu Cui with her, Chu Nanfeng might break his promise and kill him, but if he didn't go, no one would be able to break the restriction on his energy, and he would eventually become a useless person, and the officialdom was dangerous, and if he
Having lost his martial arts skills, it was difficult for him to convince the generals as a general. After several struggles and weighing, he finally gritted his teeth and took Qi Cui to the Fairy Lake, thinking that Xu Wenxiang would definitely spare him for the sake of his daughter.
After his parents died, he was raised by Xu Wenxiang's mother who took care of him and married Xu Wenxiang to him. It can be said that he was so kind to him. In order to covet wealth and honor, he acted ungratefully. Qi Zhousheng had no face to be with Xu's mother.
When he arrived at Fairy Lake, he sent a maid who had served Xu Wenxiang in Shaozhou to inform him. He, Qi Cui and several guards were waiting by the lake outside the village.
It was July 16th. After Chu Nanfeng and Ma Xilan paid homage to Yi Wuwei, they were also waiting for Qi Zhousheng to come as promised. After hearing the message from the maid, Chu Nanfeng looked at Xu Wenxiang and sighed: "He will send Xu Cui
Send it here, and I will release his Qi restriction as promised. Hey...what are your plans?"
He was kind-hearted, but could not tolerate ungrateful people. He wanted to restore Qi Zhousheng's cultivation and energy as promised, and then take action to destroy his martial arts. However, he wanted Qi Zhousheng to marry Xu Wenxiang. If it wasn't Xu Wenxiang's intention,
However, it is not convenient for me to punish him, so I asked him this question.
Xu Wenxiang's eyes welled up with tears when he heard the words. He bit his lips and remained silent. Xu's mother on the side cried: "This ungrateful beast should have beaten him to death. I...wu, wu..." Thinking of Qi Zhousheng
His nurturing love, but in exchange for his kindness and hatred, he was also sad and shed tears.
When Chu Nanfeng saw Xu Wenxiang's expression, he knew that she had no intention of harming Qi Zhousheng. He sighed secretly, looked at Ma Xilan who was wearing a veil, signaled her to comfort Xu's mother, and then went with Xu Wenxiang to the place where Qi Zhousheng was waiting. But
He saw Qi Zhousheng holding Qi Cui standing beside a carriage, with five people standing beside him, including the three attendants he had seen at the inn that day.
The old man in black robe who held Xu Wenxiang's pulse that day saw Chu Nanfeng arriving. He looked at an old man in green robe next to him who was about the same age, with fear on their faces. Both of them were spiritual cultivators.
However, he could see that Chu Nanfeng's cultivation level was unfathomable.
Qi Zhousheng naturally had a purpose in bringing the two of them here. If Chu Nanfeng was only in the spiritual realm and the technique he used was a unique skill, he could use the skills of these two people to subdue Chu Nanfeng and force him to relieve himself.
Release the restrictions on yourself.
At this time, seeing the horrified expressions on the faces of the two old men, Qi Zhousheng knew that his plan might be in vain, so he quickly let go of Qi Cui's hand, bowed his head and saluted: "Junior... bring my little girl here as promised.
Sir, show your noble hand and let me go..."
When Qi Cui saw Xu Wenxiang arriving, she glanced at Qi Zhousheng who was speaking, then ran to Xu Wenxiang and said with a smile: "Mom, daddy is here to pick you and your mother-in-law up."
Xu Wenxiang felt sad for a while, then she squatted down, picked up Xu Cui, and turned away. Xu Cui was so young that she didn't know what was going on, but when she saw her mother picking her up and leaving with tears in her eyes, she couldn't help but beat Xu Wenxiang's shoulders and back with her little hands.
He shouted to Qi Zhousheng, "Daddy...I want daddy, let me go, wuwu..."
Chu Nanfeng sighed in his heart and looked at Qi Zhousheng coldly, "Don't bother Wen Xiang and her daughter again, otherwise I will destroy your martial arts."
Qi Zhousheng, who was feeling cold all over his body and trembling with fear, had not yet answered. He heard Chu Nanfeng snort again and saw him raise his right hand. Qi Zhousheng felt a heat in his belly. After taking a short breath, the Qi in his body was already moving freely. He was pleasantly surprised.
In the middle, I saw the figure in front of me flicker again, Chu Nanfeng had disappeared.
***
Three days later, in the "Qingxin Nunnery" in Hengshan, Ma Xilan paid homage to his master, the Queen Mother Jinghui, and said goodbye to Chu Nanfeng and all the nuns in the nunnery. At this time, the Chu State had been destroyed by the Southern Tang Dynasty, and the Ma family had been moved to the south of the Yangtze River.
, but Ma Xilan was already discouraged and disappointed with the fratricidal brothers, and had no desire to meet each other. He went to his father Ma Yin's mausoleum to burn incense and bow before going to Fangzhou with Chu Nanfeng.
The two of them had no worries at this time. They traveled all the way to the mountains and rivers, reliving the places they visited. They were filled with emotions and cherished the time they spent together. They traveled more than a thousand miles from Chudi to Fangzhou. With their martial arts training,
But he walked for five days.
When they came to "Lingxiu Village", they did not enter the village directly, but first went to Luo Xiaoyao's mother's grave to burn incense and worship. Ma Xilan and Fan were sisters, and they withdrew six months after Fan gave birth to Luo Xiaoyao.
I was heartbroken when my hand passed away. I didn't expect that the second time I would visit the grave to pay homage would be seventeen years later.
Chu Nanfeng looked at the sobbing Ma Xilan in front of the grave and felt emotional. Knowing her relationship with Fan, he did not say a word to comfort her and stayed with her silently. However, he felt someone coming behind him. He turned around and saw ten people. From the forest on Yuzhang Hill, an old man wearing a green robe came out. Chu Nanfeng recognized this old man, it was Fang Yuan, the elder of Tongbao Pavilion.
It turns out that there is a lookout on this mountain. When Chu Nanfeng and Ma Xilan arrived, the guards on the mountain also saw it. They knew that the identity of the person who came to pay homage to the lady's grave was not simple, so they reported it to the courtyard. Yuan.
Fang Yuan was surprised when he heard the news. In the past ten years, except for the Pavilion Master, Luo Xiaoyao, no one else had come to pay homage to the Pavilion Master's wife. He rushed to the back mountain and was surprised when he saw that it was Chu Nanfeng. , hurriedly stepped forward to greet him: "Fang Yuan has met Mr. Chu."
"I've met Master Fang." Chu Nanfeng smiled slightly and returned the greeting.
Fang Yuan turned to look at the silver-haired Ma Xilan who had risen after hearing the sound. He saw that the woman in her late fifties, who was haggard but had an elegant and noble temperament, seemed familiar. Looking at her clear eyes, Fang Yuan looked at her. A face of unparalleled splendor appeared in Yuan's mind, and he couldn't help but exclaimed: "Princess...are you the princess?"
In his early years, he followed Luo Hanshui as an agent for the Changsha Branch Pavilion, and he had often seen Ma Xilan, who was a sister to the Pavilion Master's wife. But at this moment, he never expected that Mahilan, who was said to have been murdered, would appear in front of him.
Mahilan nodded slightly and said with a sad expression: "Although the city is there... things have changed and people have changed. Principal Fang can no longer be regarded as a princess."
Fang Yuan looked at Mahilan who had put the veil back on, nodded sadly, wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, and smiled, "Yes, I am confused now that I am older."
After saying this, he bowed his hands and said, "Fang Yuan has met Mrs. Chu."
If Ma Xilan had not been plotted, she would have formed a couple with Chu Nanfeng long ago. Fang Yuanyan said that Mrs. Chu was in line with etiquette.
Mahilan felt sweet in her heart when she heard this address that was more than ten years late. She smiled lightly at Fang Yuan and said, "Why don't you see Pavilion Master Luo? Has he gone to other places?"
"Hey..." Fang Yuan sighed: "This matter is a long story. Mr. Chu and his wife invited them to a seat in the hall, and Rong Fangyuan slowly told the story..."
Seeing his solemn expression, Chu and Ma couldn't help but look at each other, and followed Fang Yuanxing to the hall of the village courtyard in surprise.
After the two of them were seated, Fang Yuan told Luo Hanshui's injuries, Sue's diagnosis, Miao Changning's death, and other matters. Chu Nanfeng never expected that many changes would occur after he left the academy for three or four months. Even though he had a calm and steady character, his face changed frequently when he heard this. He stood up and said, "Where is Brother Luo? Please take me to see..."
Weng Mudan, who was guarding Luo Hanshui, was greatly surprised when he saw Chu Nanfeng arriving. He had not gotten along with Chu Nanfeng for a long time, but in his heart he deeply admired Chu Nanfeng who acted steadily. To his surprise, The master of the secret passage pavilion is now saved.
When Fang Yuan introduced Ma Xilan to Weng Mu, Chu Nanfeng walked to the unconscious Luo Hanshui. He held Luo Hanshui's pulse gate in his right hand and focused on exploring. He had reached the realm of Yuanying and was able to send and receive Qi. Since he can be silent, and he is proficient in the Wuji technique practiced by Luo Hanshui, he can sneak into Luo Hanshui's body and sense the changes in the seven souls according to the flow of his body's breath, so Luo Hanshui's heart and soul will not be frightened.
At this time, Weng Mu saluted Ma Xilan in surprise and joy, but when he saw Chu Nanfeng closing his eyes and concentrating, neither Fang nor Ma said anything, so he was afraid of disturbing Chu Nanfeng.
After a long time, Chu Nanfeng let go of his hand and said slowly: "Brother Luo not only has his heart and soul, but also his soul, spirit, and wisdom. He is just like an ordinary person who falls into a dream and is trapped in a nightmare. The force, energy, and essence
The three souls go to break free and rescue... Fortunately, the natal fetus's spiritual consciousness protects and guides the center, the heroic soul's second consciousness, so that the three souls of strength, energy, and essence will not be trapped in dreams..."
Weng Mu and Fang Yuan couldn't help but look at each other after hearing Chu Nanfeng's detailed explanation. They couldn't help but look at each other. Weng Mu said in surprise: "Mr. Chu has entered the room and reached the realm of Yuanying?"
Chu Nanfeng stood up and smiled slightly, which was regarded as acquiescence. Weng Mu was overjoyed and glanced at Luo Hanshui on the bed. Perhaps he was afraid of alarming him, and said softly: "How?"
The implication was that he was asking Chu Nanfeng how he felt after entering the country. Chu Nanfeng knew that he yearned for the Nascent Soul Realm in his heart, and after being slightly startled, he smiled and said, "If you are a dreamer."
"Dreammaker?" Weng Mu frowned and murmured.
"Being able to wake up as if in a dream, and move freely... Chu's superficial view is just that." Chu Nanfeng smiled slightly.
Weng Mu nodded as if he had some insights, and then heard Chu Nanfeng ask: "When does Brother Luo eat every day?"
"I followed what Master Luojue said. Every day when yin and yang meet, I recite the Lion's Roar Buddhist sutra for half an hour, and then do it again at three quarters of noon. When reciting the sutra, the mind and soul of the pavilion master are stable, and then the master can do his work.
Supplement with porridge and soup.”
"Later, when the Miao Valley Master came, he presented him with twenty pills of "Guiyuan Pill" and ordered him to dissolve them in water and take them once every ten days. The porridge and soup were also reduced, and he was only fed once every three days."
Chu Nanfeng nodded, thinking that this was not the place to talk for a long time in front of the sick bed, so he said: "Elder Weng comes to the hall to talk at this time... It should be okay, right?"
Weng Mu nodded and called the two elders of the Divine Mind Realm who were guarding the courtyard into the room to guard him. Then he went to the hall with Chu Nanfeng and others. After everyone sat down, Chu Nanfeng asked himself: "Xiaoyao
Where is he?"
Fang Yuan then told Luo Xiaoyao, Xiao Muyun, and Gu Hengshan that they went to Jiangning Mansion. Chu Nanfeng did not expect that Xiao Muyun would go with Luo Xiaoyao all the way. He was very pleased when he heard this, nodded and said with a smile: "Let him teach you
The two brothers and sisters have gained a lot of experience by traveling around the world, so it is very good... Master Fang and Master Wu heard about Master Wenyi on the way, and Mr. Chu was lucky enough to meet him, and he also met Master Mingwu."
He was eager to visit Luo Hanshui just now, and he never told anything about his encounter with Ming Wu. Fang and Weng were surprised, and Chu Nanfeng told them about their encounter with the two in the land of Wuyue.
He sighed: "Everything is predestined. This time, Xiaoyao followed the words of the principal and went to Jiangning Mansion to find Master Wenyi to inquire about Mingwu's whereabouts. It should be possible to get something..."
"Would you like Fang to send a message to the Jiangning branch and inform the young master... that Mr. Chu and Wen Yi have never met?"
"Master Wenyi's Dharma eyes are like a torch, so he will recognize that Xiaoyao is my disciple. Xiaoyao and Mingwu also have a relationship in Xizhou, but knowing that Xiaoyao is my disciple, Mingwu will definitely follow him."
Based on Chu Nanfeng's understanding of Mingwu at this time, he concluded that if he met Luo Xiaoyao, he would definitely come to help. Weng Mu and Fang Yuan's eyes lit up when they heard this, and their faces were full of joy.
After Chu Nanfeng finished speaking, he was silent in thought. When he learned that the boxing technique that injured Luo Hanshui was called "Hundred Tribulation Boxing", he already recalled what Mu Daocheng once said about Long Congyun who fought with Yan Zhongchang, and also thought of Long Congyun who fought with Yan Zhongchang.
When Wu Wangbo and Hua Qianxing told the story about the killing of the Qinglong Mountain guard, he originally thought it was done by the Liao people, but now he learned that Yan Zhongchang, like Luo Hanshui, had suffered the "Hundred Tribulations Fist"
I was hurt, and suddenly realized that this matter was very strange... I was thinking about the identity of the person behind the scenes, and what their purpose was.
Regarding Mu Daocheng's whereabouts, Chu Nanfeng vaguely guessed that he should be looking for Long Congyun. But if he wanted to change places, he would inevitably be like Mu Daocheng and first search for the "Hundred Tribulation Fist" boxing technique. Long Congyun, even though Long Congyun’s martial arts skills can be used to judge him, the perpetrator will not be him, but it must be related to his sect.
But Mu Daocheng refused to tell the truth, thinking that he was afraid that Wu, Hua and others were not strong enough and went to look for Long Congyun to find out the real murderer, or they would be harmed by the people behind the scenes.
Weng Mu and Fang Yuan saw that Chu Nanfeng had been thinking for a long time without saying a word. They knew that he must have something on his mind, and they did not dare to disturb him with words. After a while, they heard Chu Nanfeng ask: "Master Wu, when can I go back to the academy?"
Fang Yuan never informed him of the whereabouts of Wu Wangbo and others. When Chu Nanfeng asked, he hurriedly said: "After Mr. Wu learned that Master Miao Valley was killed, he led seven elders of this pavilion in anger. Go to Youzhou to look for Liu Gongwen..."
"Ah?" Chu Nanfeng was surprised. He had never expected that Wu Wangbo would act like this. With a thought in his mind, he asked anxiously: "How many days have Master Wu been here?"
Fang Yuan was very confident that Wu Wangbo, Hua Qianxing and the seven masters in the pavilion would go north to kill Liu Gongwen. When he saw the worry on Chu Nanfeng's face, he couldn't help but be surprised, "Mr. Wu has been there for three years." On the same day, a letter was sent to Jiangning, Chengdu, Luoyang, Taiyuan, Chanzhou, and three elders from Baodan Xiaocheng Realm and four Divine Mind Dacheng Realm elders from the five major branches to go to Youzhou to meet... Oh, and Mr. Hua , a group of people will probably gather today and tomorrow."
There are nine branches in Tongbao Pavilion. In addition to the Kaifeng branch, there are five people in the Baodan realm. Elder Liang of Liaoyang died, Weng Mu stayed by Luo Hanshui's side, and the other three elders in the Baodan realm followed. Wu and Hua went there, together with four people who had achieved great spiritual cultivation, and gathered the power of the nine masters, it could be said that they were bound to kill Liu Gongwen.
Chu Nanfeng sighed after hearing this, glanced at Weng Mu, and muttered: "The guard house of the Liao people... should be even better than the sects in the heyday of Jianghu. Their prominent officials, in addition to the close people they have attracted, Except for the close servants or retainers, the guard house is responsible for their daily travel and safety in the house."
"The king of Nanyuan, Taishi, Taiwei, Taibao and Liushou officials in Youzhou are all equipped with a group of masters to protect them, and these masters all live in the guard mansion. It can also be said to be a collection of martial arts masters under one roof. There is a guard camp... The palace guards who were retained by the Liao Emperor are all nearby. Breaking into the guard camp is as dangerous as breaking into the palace."
The reason why Chu Nanfeng knew such details was naturally because Mu Daocheng told him. Just like Xiao Yanbei's personal bodyguard is Zhuo Wu, but when traveling, the bodyguard house will also assign experts to protect him as appropriate. And the Liao people are good at martial arts. , those descendants of the Khan's tent who wanted to make contributions to the cause even used the Guard Mansion as a place to become famous, and there were also martial arts masters from the Sixteenth Prefecture of Youyun who were greedy for wealth and wealth and joined in it.
"What's more, they still have well-trained people. The formation of three people in the Divine Mind Realm can also trap the Baodan Realm. Elder Weng and I also fought against them. If Master Wu went here to ambush secretly, in Liu When Gong Wen is out, he is not afraid of waiting for an opportunity to surround him, but if he breaks in forcefully, he might make a mistake..." Chu Nanfeng frowned.
He and Weng Mu had forced their way into the Guard House, but Yan Zhongchang was not in the house at that time, and there were many guards who followed the Nanyuan King, the Grand Master and others north to the Liao Dynasty and went to Beijing. With only the remaining people in the house, he and the two Even Bao Dan's cultivation level cannot attack and kill Liu Gongwen, not to mention that all the accompanying guards have returned to the guard house at this time.
After hearing what Chu Nanfeng said, Weng Mu felt his heart beating and couldn't help but feel his heart beating for Wu Wangbo when he thought of the three masters of the Divine Mind Realm who had formed a formation around Chu Nanfeng and killed them, as well as the group of Khitan people who came after hearing the news before leaving.
Waiting for others to become worried.
With a thought in his mind, Chu Nanfeng looked at Ma Xilan, smiled and said: "Lu Yi, I think..."
Before he could finish his words, Ma Xilan nodded and said, "Nan Feng can go north to help Master Wu kill Liu Thief. I'll just wait here in the courtyard."
She and Chu Nanfeng knew each other and admired each other. Naturally, she knew from Chu Nanfeng's tone what his worries were. However, her martial arts cultivation was only at the level of returning to true form. Otherwise, Chu Nanfeng would have taken her with him to kill him.
Liu Gongwen.
It was about the safety of Wu Wangbo and Hua Qianxing, not to mention because of his enemy Liu Gongwen. Chu Nanfeng had to go. After hearing this, he stood up, walked to Ma Xilan, and held the jade hand that Ma Xilan extended.
, "If I can meet Liu Thief, I will definitely capture him..."
Mahilan shook his head and said softly: "Nanfeng just kills this thief for me, so as not to make the journey tiring."
Chu Nanfeng smiled and said, "If Lu Yi can be happy with his grudges, even if he has to carry this thief with him for five thousand miles, why bother?" With a chuckle, he let go of Mahilan's jade hand and turned around.
After entering the realm of Yuanying, Qinggong is not comparable to the realm of Baodan, but as Wen Yi said, "It is the movement of the boat rather than the movement of the body, and the forgetfulness of the mind rather than the forgetfulness of the spirit." Wherever the Qi goes, the body will follow.
It comes.
Chu Nanfeng raised his hand at this time, and the air movement had already reached ten feet, and his body followed him. It was as if he was riding the air, drifting in with the wind, under the stars and the moon, nearly seventeen hours later
Also rushed to Youzhou.
After traveling from Lingxiuzhuang at no time, it was already Haishi on the second day when we arrived in Youzhou. I guessed that Wu Wangbo and his party would live in a house in the outer city because of the large number of people. As soon as I thought about it, I would go to another courtyard in the outer city.
