Chapter 422 Dao Master! ?
Chapter 422 Dao Master! ?
After leaving the restaurant, Chu Qing and Huangfu Yixiao parted ways.
Huangfu Yixiao wanted to live with Chu Qing... Chu Qing said that the family he was staying in had no vacancies.
He realized that Chu Qing was not lying, so he gave up.
On the way back, Wu Qianhuan said to Chu Qing thoughtfully:
“This Huangfu Yixiao looks simple and straightforward, but I always feel that this person is not simple.
"Why did he come all the way to the Southern Territory?"
"The only way to answer this question is to find someone who is not a monk."
Chu Qing smiled:
“Unfortunately, this is not the monk’s whereabouts, and it has not yet been found.
"As for what you mean by simplicity...
"How can the son of the Sword Emperor be easily dealt with?
"What's more, his swordsmanship is so clear and extraordinary that he can almost distinguish the true from the false, which is even more sensitive than a gentle nose."
"That's true."
Wu Qianhuan glanced at Wenrou and felt a little worried.
She also understood the flaws of Tianxiang's olfactory body, and knew that Chu Qing placed his hopes on Wanbao Tower, but she didn't know whether Wanbao Tower knew where Tianfo Temple was.
When we returned to our residence, the family of three were cleaning up and preparing dinner.
It wasn't until Chu Qing and the other two came back from the restaurant that he asked if they needed food brought out for them in the evening.
After getting a reply that Chu Qing didn't need, the proprietress happily continued to work.
The shopkeeper surnamed Song looked at Chu Qing as if he was guarding against a thief, fearing that this pretty boy would do something naughty and kidnap his wife.
But the young man's eyes were full of stars when he looked at Chu Qing and the other two.
Even after several people returned to the room, they could still find this kid hiding in the corner and spying.
Chu Qing didn't tolerate it and went over to catch him:
"You are so young, why don't you learn well? What are you snooping around in here?"
The boy was grabbed by Chu Qing's arm and couldn't break free, so he begged for mercy:
"Brother, please spare my life. I, I..."
"Why don't you tell me now!?"
Chu Qing's face darkened slightly.
The young man had never experienced such a scene before, and he couldn't tell whether Chu Qing was trying to scare him or was really going to attack him, so he hurriedly said:
"I thought, I thought you guys were all great heroes in the martial arts world, and you would definitely practice martial arts when you have free time.
"I, I just want to learn a little bit... In the future, I also want to travel the world and help the weak."
This wish was simple and unpretentious, and it did not exceed Chu Qing's expectations.
He let go of the boy's arm:
“You are so young and don’t know how powerful you are. Let’s not even talk about whether we are from the martial arts world or not, and whether we will practice martial arts when we have free time.
"If they really practiced, and you came to peek, you would be breaking a big taboo in the martial arts world.
"If I really meet someone with a bad temper, killing you alone is not enough. What if I kill your whole family?"
The boy's face turned pale.
“No… not really?
"Even if, even if I was wrong, what does it have to do with my family? This... is this reasonable?"
"Be reasonable?"
Chu Qing smiled:
“That makes sense… but it depends on the situation.
“For example, you are falsely accused of murder, and you have enough evidence to prove that you are not the murderer.
"And you also know that the man who led the hunt for you is the real murderer, and you even have evidence of his murder.
"One day, you met on the road, and he led a large group of martial arts masters to surround you...
"How do you think we should reason in this situation?"
"This……"
The young boy's mind was suddenly in a mess, and he felt that the situation mentioned by Chu Qing seemed very complicated.
After thinking for a moment he said:
"I will produce evidence to prove myself, and then identify this person in public!"
"rational."
Chu Qing smiled and tapped him on the head:
“But the feasibility is too small.
“You have a point, but first you have to have the strength.
“Since that person has killed someone and framed you, he will naturally not give you a chance to defend yourself.
“Once you two meet, he will definitely kill you first. If your martial arts skills are not as good as his, he will kill you in just three or two moves.
"You can only take your reasoning to Yama Palace and speak to the King of Hell."
"This……"
The boy shrank his neck:
"But... this shouldn't be the case. Don't we even have a chance to speak?"
"Yes, but you have to fight for it yourself."
Chu Qing said softly:
“You have to have enough skills to survive when the other party tries to kill you, and that’s the only way to make sense.
“When you step on his head and trample everything he has under your feet, you become his truth.
"The principles of the underworld are complex and simple at the same time... It's better to be an ordinary person and live a comfortable life."
He reached out and touched the young man's head:
"Go."
The young man left, not quite understanding, and after struggling for a long time he still couldn't figure out whether Chu Qing was a gangster or not.
The day passed without any incident. Although there was a small incident with the young man, Chu Qing did not take it to heart.
Who, when he was young, didn't have a dream of riding a horse, singing, and wielding a sword to travel the world?
But at midnight, he, who was meditating on the bed, suddenly opened his eyes.
He looked out the window, frowning slightly:
"Uninvited guest? Why are you here?"
Out of curiosity, he went to the window, pushed it open a crack, and looked out. At a glance, he saw four figures, tall, short, fat and thin, gathered on the roof, thinking about something furtively.
"It's them?"
Chu Qing recognized them at the first sight. These were the group of four people, tall, short, fat and thin, whom he had seen in the restaurant during the day. They were from the first road in Zhongzhou!
Just at that moment, the thin man flashed and disappeared over the rooftop and into the main house.
Chu Qing raised his eyebrows slightly...I've heard from Huangfu Yixiao that the number one in Zhongzhou has always been a rare person in the martial arts world. He will not do evil, nor will he bully others by taking advantage of his power.
But why sneak into people's houses in the middle of the night?
Break into the house to steal treasures, steal perfume and jade?
not like...
However, thinking of Shopkeeper Song's extraordinary internal strength, he was not too worried.
Maybe as soon as this thin guy goes down, he will be discovered by Shopkeeper Song, and then a fierce battle will break out.
But the expected situation did not happen. The air was very quiet. After a long while, the thin man flew onto the roof with a person in his hand:
"We succeeded, let's go."
After saying that, several people jumped up and flew away into the distance.
Chu Qing saw clearly that the person held by the thin man was none other than Shopkeeper Song's...
"This……"
Chu Qing was stunned, and after hesitating for a while, he suddenly turned around and chased after him.
How come four people came in the middle of the night and took away the owner of the house?
It would be fine if he hadn't seen it, but if he had seen it, he couldn't just ignore it. Although it is said that people in the martial arts world should mind their own business, but the family of three is living in harmony, and he, an outsider, is envious. If he turns a blind eye to these people doing such a thing for no reason, then what is the point of keeping all his martial arts skills?
However, he was still somewhat curious about the situation of these people, so he did not take action directly, but followed them all the way out of the residential area, and in the blink of an eye they arrived at a plum blossom forest.
The four men put Shopkeeper Song on the ground and then gathered around to look at him.
Some pulled the patient's hands and rolled up his sleeves, some pulled the hair apart to observe the scalp, and some held the pulse with their hands and examined it carefully.
After a while, the four people came to a conclusion:
"it's him!"
who is it?
Chu Qing's thoughts emerged in his mind, and then he suddenly realized:
“The first Dao master?
"What a coincidence? Could it be that this Shopkeeper Song is the first Taoist master who has been missing for more than ten years?
"So how did he get lost from the first path back then? How did he end up here? And he got married and had a child with someone?"
Moreover, he originally thought that these four people had some evil intentions, so they came here to kidnap the man...
After all this time, it turned out that the other party came to look for the head of their family.
No matter how you look at it, it's not his place as an outsider to take care of this kind of thing, right?
At the same time, the fat man among the four people suddenly pointed a finger at the forehead of Shopkeeper Song.
The next moment, Shopkeeper Song woke up slowly.
But it seemed that he was still half asleep and half awake, and he subconsciously shouted:
"Wife...hug me."
He stretched out his hands to hug him, but the fat man squatted in front of him and didn't dare to move. As he saw his arms were about to wrap around him, Shopkeeper Song finally opened his eyes.
The beautiful woman was nowhere to be seen, but the fat man with big ears and fat head appeared before his eyes.
In an instant, Chu Qing saw clearly that Shopkeeper Song's hair stood up!
This shock was not trivial, and he pushed with both palms:
"What kind of monster are you? I'll screw you!!"
The fat man did not fight back. He just let Shopkeeper Song push him like a ball, rolling two or three meters away.
He stood up...still like a ball, and patted his chest:
"That's not right, why do you have so little strength?"
"What about his inner strength?"
"It seems like his internal energy is still there... but he doesn't seem to be able to use it?"
Someone else interrupted.
Several people were talking to themselves, but Shopkeeper Song was so frightened that his face turned pale:
"You...who are you?"
The foursome, tall, short, fat and thin, looked at each other and knelt on the ground in unison.
"Meet the Taoist Master!!"
Shopkeeper Song was dumbfounded. After taking a look at these people, he turned and ran away, cursing as he ran:
"Neuropathy……"
He doesn't look like he's pretending, he really doesn't understand.
Moreover, Chu Qing had noticed during the day that this man had extraordinary internal strength, but when he saw him taking action this time, it could be said that he was clumsy. Although he had powerful internal strength, he didn't know how to use it at all.
His behavior, sitting, and lying down are no different from those of ordinary people.
"Taoist Master!!!"
When the fat man saw him running, he immediately reached out his hand to pull him back.
But he was stopped by the thin man next to him.
"What are you doing?"
The fat man was furious.
The thin man said helplessly:
"Just let him go first... He obviously doesn't remember us. The Taoist master might have lost his memory. We have to deal with this matter slowly."
"Amnesia... How could the Taoist master, who has unparalleled martial arts, lose his memory?"
The fat man frowned, but did not continue to chase.
Given the current situation, even if he is brought back, this person obviously cannot directly agree to let them go back to be the Taoist master.
The best way is to make him remember it.
Then everything will fall into place.
Chu Qing was following Shopkeeper Song all the way at this time. The group of four, tall, short, fat and thin, did not catch up with them, but he could roughly guess what they were thinking.
I felt both amused and helpless.
This seems a bit messy...
I chased him out tonight with the intention of doing something chivalrous, but now it seems that it was all in vain.
But at this moment, something unexpected happened again.
A dark figure suddenly appeared in silence.
A dagger that was as curved as a snake and as black as ink stabbed Manager Song's heart fiercely.
This sudden change happened suddenly, caused by lightning and thunder.
If anyone else present today were to save Shopkeeper Song's life from this knife, the possibility would be slim.
This person's appearance was too sudden. There was no sign before he attacked, and he was ruthless when he attacked. What stood out was his cunning and ruthlessness.
But it happened that the person here today was Chu Qing!
The moment the accident happened, [Zhao Yu Shen Ce] came out. Before the fear on Shopkeeper Song's face could spread, he flew backwards involuntarily, and the dagger missed his heart by a hair's breadth.
At the same time, Chu Qing had already arrived beside Shopkeeper Song. He grabbed his shoulder and moved him to the other side. Then, his five fingers were like dragon claws, grabbing the dagger.
At this point, Chu Qing didn't know who the other party was or why he wanted to kill Shopkeeper Song.
Therefore, although he tried to save people, he did not intend to hurt anyone's life. He used the Dragon Claw Hand, and all the moves were under his control.
The next moment, five fingers had already grabbed the opponent's wrist joint, and with a pull and a twist, the man's arm was completely locked by Chu Qing.
But before Chu Qing could ask, the man suddenly loosened his grip and the dagger in his hand fell. He stretched forward with his other hand, as if trying to catch the dagger.
Anyone else would probably be able to succeed. After all, at this moment, Chu Qing had one hand locking the wrist of the person coming, and the other hand on Shopkeeper Song's shoulder. There was no third hand to stop him... But he had the [Sword-stealing Technique]!
Under the opponent's determined eyes, the dagger suddenly shot out a foot without any warning.
He grabbed nothing and was stunned for a moment, but he continued to grab forward, completely ignoring the fact that he was locked up and tried to move his arm slightly, which was in excruciating pain.
But even so, he failed.
The dagger seemed to have grown legs. It made a circle with a whoosh and flew into the air.
"..."
Even through a mask, one could still feel the other person's speechlessness at that moment.
But the next moment, he twisted his body and spun in the air. There was a cracking sound, and a cloud of blood mist rose up. He actually took advantage of the momentum to break his arm, and he was about to fly away.
"return!"
Chu Qing let go of Shopkeeper Song and grabbed with his five fingers. The man felt a huge force locking his whole body, and he ran towards Chu Qing's five fingers without any power to resist.
"This is too much!"
The man shouted angrily, and no one knew what to do. Suddenly, he turned into a ball of black mist and instantly dispersed in all directions.
