Chapter 179 1 Seeing as before!
Chapter 179: Hit the spot at first sight!
There was silence in front of the Yin-Yang Forest.
It was as if the change that just happened in the blink of an eye did not exist at all.
If it weren't for the traces of the fight between the two still before their eyes... almost no one would dare to believe that Beitang Zun, the deputy head of the Liehuo Hall, was defeated by Chu Qing in just one move.
Cheng Tieshan swallowed hard.
Thinking back to the previous meeting with Chu Qing, he even asked his men to try their skills with him.
Finally, he had the chance to fight with me.
Although the power of that punch still frightened him, it was far less shocking than what he saw before his eyes.
"How long has it been? How did this kid learn martial arts?
"Or did you already hide your incompetence at that time?"
When I thought of Chu Qing's repeated request to seek further advice from him, I felt my legs go weak.
Beitang Zun's martial arts skills were better than his, but he ended up like himself, unable to take a single move.
After Luochen Villa took Tie Chuqing back, Tie Lingyun told him that when Chu Qing said he wanted advice, he must have really meant it and he didn't want to kill him.
Now it seems... Tie Lingyun knows nothing!
This kid's martial arts skills are as high as a ghost. What's the point of him asking me for advice?
It's obvious that he wants to kill himself!
The other disciples of Liehuotang just woke up from their dream at this moment.
While shouting "Let go of the hall master", he rushed forward, trying to rescue Beitang Zun.
Chu Qing didn't even look at them, he swept out with his palm, and the dragon-shaped energy penetrated in all directions. Boom, boom, there were several explosions, and the twenty or so people were knocked to the ground by Chu Qing's palm power before they could even get close to them.
Beitang Zun just had time to speak:
"Stop, you are no match for me!!"
But it's too late to say this now.
Chu Qing glanced at Beitang Zun:
"Senior, do you still have time to care about other things at this time?"
"...I don't know what you are talking about. My Fiery Flame Hall has never colluded with the Heavenly Evil Cult. I can guarantee this with my life!!"
Beitang Zun said in a deep voice:
“I have heard about the Tianxie Cult. This group of people practiced magic and murdered fellow martial artists. My Liehuotang absolutely disdains to associate with them.
"Either there is some misunderstanding, or you are just framing me!
"You can kill me if you have the guts, but don't tarnish the reputation of my Fiery Hall!"
Chu Qing looked at his expression and tone when he spoke, and it didn't seem fake, so he nodded:
"Okay, I'll believe you for now."
After saying this, he turned around and looked at the other disciples of the Fiery Hall.
Chu Qing did not use any killing moves just now. Although these people were hit by the palm force and fell to the ground, they were not dead.
He struggled to get up from the ground, but did not dare to attack again.
Then Chu Qing said:
"The head of the Beitang Hall and I hit it off right away, and we want to travel together. Please go back, everyone."
"..."
Everyone looked at each other and thought, I don’t believe you.
Is this what we call familiarity at first sight?
This is called hitting on sight, okay?
However, their fists were not as big as his, and when Chu Qing said that they hit it off at first sight, they did not dare to refute.
Just looking at Beitang Zun, I felt really unwilling.
Beitang Zun looked at Chu Qing deeply, feeling the strange cold power in his body, knowing that there was no solution today, he said:
“You can return to the Fiery Hall and report this matter to the Hall Master.
"This Lord... This Lord and the Third Young Master really hit it off right away and plan to travel together."
"Yes."
The disciples of the Fiery Hall looked at each other and clasped their fists in agreement.
Then they supported each other and left the Yin-Yang Forest.
Beitang Zun saw them leave, then looked at Chu Qing:
"Well, what are you going to do with me?"
"The head of the Beitang Hall is joking."
Chu Qing smiled and said:
"Since we hit it off right away, I will naturally treat you with courtesy. However, Master Beitang is a martial arts master, and the people around me are no match for you. Just in case, I have to press a few acupoints on Master Beitang. Please forgive me, Master Beitang."
"..."
Beitang Zun was almost angry to death.
How can a martial arts master like me be bullied by you like this?
Since we hit it off right away, why would I worry about what might happen?
Chu Qing obviously didn't consider Beitang Zun's feelings. He stretched out his hand and pressed a few acupoints on him.
With the inner energy of Mingyu Sutra, the extremely cold force was suppressing the inner energy of [Nine Fierce Burning Divine Art].
Beitang Zun shuddered subconsciously. Since he had mastered his magical powers, he had never felt a cold body before, and now he felt the cruelty of winter once again.
Chu Qing helped him up and said to the child:
"Please lead the way, little brother."
The little boy saw Chu Qing's gestures and sent these people away, and became more respectful to Chu Qing.
Hold your fist and salute:
"Yes, please follow me, seniors."
He led the way into the Yin-Yang Forest, and Chu Qing and his group followed behind, returning to the Yin-Yang Pavilion after a while.
Everything was peaceful in the house. Miss Lingfei was stunned when she saw Chu Qing and his group go out and come back with two more people.
Looking again, I was even more surprised.
Cheng Tieshan and Beitangzun?
Why are these two people here?
However, Miss Lingfei knew them, but they did not know Miss Lingfei.
I was also surprised to see there was another woman here.
The little boy looked at this and that, and finally said to Cheng Tieshan:
"Old senior, please follow me and I will heal you."
Cheng Tieshan suddenly felt awkward:
"Senior is just a senior, why add the word 'old'? I'm not yet at the level of an old senior, am I?"
"Yes, old senior, it is the junior's fault."
The little boy nodded repeatedly, and it was unclear whether he agreed or not.
Cheng Tieshan had a gloomy face and could only follow the child.
Beitang Zun looked around curiously. Chu Qing pressed his acupoints but did not take his life, which showed that he was still safe for the time being.
After taking a look, he asked:
"What kind of land is this? Who is the owner of this place?"
"The owner of this place is called Yin Yang Hermit, a master who has lived in seclusion from the world."
Chu Qing said softly:
"The head of the Beitang Hall is still in a mood to be curious. It seems that he is not worried about his own fate at all?"
"Now that it has come, let's make the best of it. I can't stop you from doing anything. Instead of worrying about it, it's better to take it easy."
Beitang Zun found a place to sit down. He was a handsome old man and he sat quite elegantly.
Chu Qing glanced at him and asked softly:
"Did the Fiery Hall really never collude with the Heavenly Evil Cult?"
"…Where did you get this from?"
Beitang Zun frowned:
"At least I have never seen anyone from the Tianxie Cult."
Chu Qing exhaled lightly:
"The Fiery Hall invaded the Iron Blood Hall in a big way. There was smoke everywhere in the Iron Blood Hall. Everyone could see that the Ghost God Gorge was deliberately created by the Fiery Hall to contain the Iron Blood Hall.
“It is to make the fire in the Iron Blood Hall burn more vigorously.
“No matter what the reason was for Tie Lingyun to send Tie Chuqing away, at least on the surface, it was to stop the chaos in Tiexuetang.
“But she was abducted by the Tianxie Cult.
"Cheng Tieshan came here to look for Tie Chuqing, but you set him up to be hunted down.
“You keep saying that you have never colluded with the Tianxie Cult, but what you did was completely in collusion with the inside and outside.
"You ask me, how can I gain your trust?
"The most important thing is that the power of the Fiery Hall is completely inferior to that of the Iron Blood Hall. If they didn't have something to rely on, how could they be so unwise to rashly provoke a war this time?" "This..."
The rest is nothing, but the last point Chu Qing said really touched Beitang Zun's heart.
Although he was reluctant to admit that the Fiery Hall was inferior to the Iron Blood Hall, he had to admit it.
This large-scale invasion is truly an unwise move.
He couldn't refute it for a while...
Moreover, thinking of his elder brother Beitang Lie's uncharacteristic behavior, he suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart.
But he didn't dare to think about it, nor did he dare to mention it.
I simply closed my eyes and said no more.
Chu Qing saw that he must have thought of something, but he didn't mean to explain it to him clearly.
Seeing that the Yin-Yang Master couldn't finish the task for a while, he went to find the little boy and asked where the kitchen was.
Man is made of iron and rice is made of steel. No matter what the situation, you still have to eat.
He summoned everyone to the kitchen to cook. After nearly an hour, he finally came out of the kitchen with the food.
Just as the food was served on the table, there was a creaking sound and the Yin-Yang Monk walked out of the room.
I came to the dining table following the smell.
Everyone was stunned for a moment. They were so busy cooking that they forgot about him.
Only Miss Lingfei was thinking about him all the time and never left. When she saw him come out, she hurried in to guard Cao Qiupu.
Chu Qing wondered:
"You weren't waiting for the food to be ready before coming out?"
"What?"
Without saying anything, Yin Yang picked up his chopsticks and started eating:
"I am the type who... oh, it's too salty, doesn't this fine salt cost money?
"Who treated this badly? Well, this is okay."
After taking several bites of food, Yin Yang Monk looked at Chu Qing:
“The people have been rescued, and the rest are trivial matters.
"You can leave when you wake up tomorrow morning...but boy, we need to discuss something."
As soon as this statement came out, everyone was stunned.
When Beitang Zun first saw this Yin-Yang hermit, he was very surprised at his appearance and thought that he was indeed a hermit.
When he heard that he was going to discuss something with Chu Qing, he pricked up his ears, wondering if this kid had also offended the owner of this place?
But I don’t know who will win or lose between them?
Then I heard the Yin-Yang hermit say:
“When I do things, I always follow one principle at a time.
“You brought Chen Zhengnan’s bronze acupuncture man to me to save someone, and I did.
“This favor has been repaid.
“However, since you helped me retrieve the Blood Spirit Needle, I owe you a favor.
"I have two rewards here. Which one do you want to choose?"
"Oh? Senior, can you tell me about it?"
"First, I will teach you a martial art that will allow you to rise to the top and become invincible in the world!"
Everyone looked at the Yin-Yang Monk in shock.
I thought to myself that this tone was too arrogant.
With Chu Qing's martial arts skills, who, apart from the legendary Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, would dare to say this to him?
The little boy also tugged at his sleeve, not wanting his master to embarrass himself here.
The Yin-Yang hermit shook off the boy's hand and looked at Chu Qing:
"The second is that you don't have to return the bronze acupuncture man to me.
“If you have a headache or fever in the future, or a fatal illness, you can bring this bronze acupuncture man to me and I will cure your illness.
“But the same thing, I only recognize tokens and not people.
"If anyone else comes looking for this item, just tell them your name... By the way, what's your name?"
"I am the third one in the line. They all call me the Third Young Master."
"Okay, then Third Young Master."
Yin Yang Layman said:
“From now on, no matter who it is, as long as he holds this bronze acupuncture man and says your name, the Third Young Master, I will help him heal once without any conditions.
"How do you choose?"
"Junior chooses the latter."
Chu Qing didn't hesitate at all.
Rather than choosing a martial art that requires practicing from scratch, the latter is of course more cost-effective.
Yin Yang Layman curled his lips, seeming a little disappointed:
“Okay, that’s settled.
"It's too late tonight. After dinner, you can rest here for one night and leave early tomorrow morning. Don't continue to disturb the peace here."
Chu Qing originally wanted to ask the Yin-Yang Monk to help Cheng Tieshan, but the little boy just kept blinking at him.
He simply kept silent, and after dinner, the little boy told Chu Qing.
Although Cheng Tieshan was seriously injured, he could treat himself without the help of Yin-Yang Master.
But if the Yin-Yang Monk were to take action, the acupuncture bronze man that he had just obtained would be lost.
Chu Qing was delighted when he heard this and thanked him for the reminder.
There were limited rooms in Yin Yang Lu, and except for the injured who rested in the rooms, everyone else squeezed into the straw hut for the night.
In the early morning of the next day, Cao Qiupu woke up as expected.
Miss Lingfei talked to him for a long time, but Chu Qing did not interrupt her. He guessed that what Miss Lingfei told her was what he had taught her before.
When Cao Qiupu appeared in front of Chu Qing again, his expression was a little strange. Finally, he clasped his fists and said:
"Thank you for saving my life, brother."
"...You are out of touch. Next time, don't draw your sword against me just because of a woman."
Chu Qing spoke lightly.
Cao Qiupu's face immediately turned red.
Although Cheng Tieshan was badly injured yesterday, he looked like nothing happened when he woke up this morning.
However, the little boy gave him a lot of medicine and asked him to take it on time, otherwise his injury would most likely relapse.
The Yin-Yang monk didn't like crowds, and when he saw them making so much noise, he started to chase them away.
In the end, it was the little boy who led everyone out of the forest. After saying goodbye to him, they continued heading north.
It’s just that originally there were only Chu Qing and Wen Rou, but now... it feels like there’s more power than strength.
Cao Qiupu and Miss Lingfei followed Chu Qing's advice and planned to go to Guishen Gorge to join Tie Lingyun.
Needless to say, Tie Chuqing and Cheng Tieshan must return to Guishen Gorge.
Chu Qing and Wenrou were also heading towards Guishen Gorge.
As for Beitang Zun...as a prisoner, he had no choice.
The group of people got together and set off on a journey that lasted for several days.
They were lucky that day and could enter the city to rest, so they booked a few rooms in the inn.
In the evening, Tie Chuqing sat in front of the oil lamp in a daze.
Suddenly, I heard the sound of wind and the window was blown open with a whoosh.
Tie Chuqing was wondering where this evil wind came from. When he turned around, he saw a man in black and wearing a white mask sitting on the window.
A pitch-black sword was casually held in his hand, and the cold eyes under the mask were staring at him.
This look...
Tie Chuqing's pupils suddenly contracted:
"You are...Yedi?"
……
……
ps: I’m sick, feeling so uncomfortable… I feel like I can’t open my eyes, my nose is blocked, my brain is confused, and my whole body aches… I feel so uncomfortable…
