Zhutian: My skills are not serious

Chapter 138: You will be lame if you fool them

The distance from Mount Emei to Mount Wudang is two thousand miles, and a horse with average foot strength can walk for ten days without being forced.

Chu Pingsheng and his party went down the mountain on March 27th and arrived at Shiyan, Hubei Province on April 6th. They were not far from Wudang Mountain. Even if they didn't ride horses and walked on foot, they would still be there in half a day.

Zhang Sanfeng's birthday was on April 8th, which was two days apart, so he had plenty of time. Master Jingxuan asked Ji Xiaofu to find an inn in Shiyan City to stay, on the grounds that there were mostly male disciples on Wudang Mountain and it was inconvenient. Climb the mountain early in the morning.

Another day later, when Chu Pingsheng was checking the injuries of the hare in the iron cage in the backyard of the inn, he heard the conversations of Master Jingzhen, Ji Xiaofu and the accompanying fourth-generation male disciple Huang Xing coming from outside the yard.

"Senior sister, I just went to the market in front and saw a few men carrying salt bags buying longevity noodles and peaches. After asking, I found out that they were from the Haisha sect, and they were also here to wish Master Zhang a birthday. "

"Huh, what are you talking about birthday celebrations? The Wudang sect is one of the six major sects after all. For Master Zhang's 100th birthday, they just get some ordinary pasta as a gift? In the end, birthday celebrations are just for show. The purpose is to seek Xie Xun and the Dragon Sword. .”

The person who complained about the price drop caused by Haisha Sect was Huang Xing.

"Don't worry about these people, we just need to do what Master tells us."

This voice is Master Jingzhen.

Chu Pingsheng broke the rabbit's right hind leg as soon as he got it. She was a little angry and asked him what he wanted to do. If he was greedy for meat, he could just kill it with a sword. There was no need to break the rabbit's leg bones.

A scene that stunned Ji Xiaofu appeared. The gray rabbit raised its right hind leg, kicked off, and then jumped towards the weeds in the corner of the yard.

Chu Pingsheng had just fed a piece of cucumber to the gray rabbit with a pair of white front legs when he heard Ji Xiaofu's surprised question from behind him.

Chu Pingsheng said nothing, untied the linen wrapped around the hare's right hind leg, removed the bamboo board used for fixation, and placed the small thing on the ground.

"Hey, why are you here?"

"Even the Five Elders of Kongtong and the head of the Kunlun Sect are here. Only Shaolin and Huashan are left, and the six major sects are here."

"What Senior Sister Jingzhen said is true."

"Senior Sister Jingzhen, I heard from the Jianghu people who were drinking in the front hall of the inn that people from the Shen Fist Sect, the Giant Whale Gang, and the Wushan Sect also showed up in Shiyan, and they claimed that this grand event was only followed by the eminent Shaolin monks."

The conversation outside the courtyard ended there.

Only then did Ji Xiaofu notice the hare in his palm and said angrily: "The leg that was broken just the day before yesterday will be cured today? Have you listened to the nonsense of those quacks? How many times have I told you? The foot of the mountain is not as good as the mountain, and people's hearts are unpredictable. , Jianghu is sinister, you didn’t listen, now you know you were deceived, right?”

She left Huanglong Town the day before yesterday and passed by a dense forest. Chu Pingsheng begged her to hunt a hare, specifying that she wanted one alive and not dead. So she took advantage of her break to go to the forest and catch a hare, which was the gray rabbit just now.

"Let me see if its injury is healed." Chu Pingsheng stood up and replied with a smile.

"it is good."

"Senior sister... should we meet with the people from Shaolin Temple first..."

"Junior Brother Huang, it's not too late to discuss this matter after Senior Sisters Jingxuan and Jingxu come back."

back to normal?
It actually recovered?
So, the medicine-selling charlatan in Huanglong Town was telling the truth?

"This matter is normal. Back then, the Golden Retriever Lion King Xie Xun killed the eminent monk Kong Jian of the Shaolin Temple with thirteen seven-injury punches. I also heard that the 72 lives of the Longmen Escort Bureau ten years ago were related to Zhang Cuishan, and the chief escort chief of the Longmen Escort Bureau was... Da Jin is a lay disciple of the Shaolin sect, and compared to the big and small gangs that covet the dragon-slaying sword, the Shaolin Temple is the most legitimate source of trouble for Zhang Cuishan."

"Xiao Fu, where is Senior Sister? Why didn't I come back with you?"

"Oh, on the way back, we passed Wangjiang Tower. Senior Sister Jingxuan heard someone saying hello and found out that it was Mr. Tieqin, the head of the Kunlun Sect, He Taichong and the Fifth Elder of Kongtong. So we met Senior Sister Jingxu and sent me back to report the news."

Thinking about what happened, it still feels unreal.

"In that case, let's go and invite Junior Sister Bei and Junior Nephew Chu to the dining hall for dinner."

Chu Pingsheng told her that he was resting in Huanglong Town the day before yesterday. He went shopping nearby and met a charlatan who was selling a secret medicine called black jade intermittent ointment. Medicine can also restore your health to its original state.

Including Ji Xiaofu and Master Jingxuan, everyone thought she had been deceived. They had never heard of this black jade intermittent ointment, and it was most likely an invalid fake.

It is normal for a young man with no experience in the world of martial arts to wander down the mountain and be deceived.

Only Chu Pingsheng did not believe in evil. He applied medicine to Gray Rabbit, splinted it, and wrapped it in a layer of linen. He carefully carried it with him. No one took it seriously, thinking that he had such an experience, and it would be a bitter experience. A wise one.

Who would have thought that something he had no expectations for finally came true. Gray Rabbit's broken leg miraculously recovered after just two days of applying medicine.

"Pingsheng, it seems that you have met a charlatan with real ability." "I think that person is more than just a charlatan." Chu Pingsheng said: "He knows that I am a member of the Emei sect, and he also knows that our trip is for Going to Wudang Mountain to celebrate Zhang Zhenren’s birthday told me a lot about what happened back then.”

"What happened back then?"

"Uncle Ji, have you ever heard of a poem?"

"What poem?"

"There are lotus boats floating under the distant bridge, pines and streams on the Dai rocks, thousands of green mountains and pear pavilions are there, don't ask for words, the valley is empty."

Ji Xiaofu shook her head. She always felt that this poem was a bit familiar, but she couldn't remember which poet wrote it despite all her efforts.

Chu Pingsheng said: "Think about it again, what are the names of the Seven Heroes of Wudang?"

Song Yuanqiao, Yu Lianzhou, Yu Daiyan, Zhang Songxi, Zhang Cuishan, Yin Liting, Mo Shenggu, these seven names passed through his mind, and Ji Xiaofu suddenly woke up.

"This……"

"Yes, this poem was written by Wudang Master Zhang."

Ji Xiaofu praised: "Zhenzhen Zhang is really amazing and talented. People in the world only know that he has great martial arts skills, but they didn't expect that he is also a poet with outstanding literary talent."

Chu Pingsheng asked again: "Do you know where this poem is about the scenery?"

Ji Xiaofu shook her head again.

"At the foot of Shaoshi Mountain, the scene when I met Guo Xiang, the founder of the Emei Sect."

"Ancestor?"

Ji Xiaofu was stunned for a moment, and a thought flashed through her mind. Could it be that this poem was written by Master Zhang to commemorate his ancestor?
Chu Pingsheng smiled slightly: "Tell me about the gossip about the Patriarch. Do you know the name of the place where the Patriarch and the Condor Hero Yang Guo met?"

Ji Xiaofu continued to shake his head.

"Fengling Ferry."

Fengling... ferry?
She suddenly remembered the name of Master Miejie's master, Master Fengling.

Zhang Sanfeng intercepted the content of the poem in memory of Patriarch Guo and named the seven disciples. Patriarch Guo used the name of the place where he met the Condor Hero as the name of his successor.

This... love triangle?

Thinking of this, she suddenly understood. No wonder Wudang Mountain has a strange rule that requires Wudang disciples not to be enemies with Emei disciples.

Master Miejie only told them as disciples that Master Guo was kind to Zhang Sanfeng back then, but now it seems that it is not as simple as just being kind.

"Not only does he possess bone-setting elixirs such as Black Jade Intermittent Ointment, but he also knows the past decades ago. What is the origin of the doctor?"

Chu Pingsheng continued to make up the story without blushing or heartbeat: "I don't know. The doctor finally asked me, if Wudang is in trouble, how will Emeidang deal with it? Then he left. The man looked old. Gao, moved slowly, but disappeared without a trace before I came to my senses. Finally, I asked him loudly what his name was, and I only heard an erratic voice saying, "It's useless. I've been thinking about it these past few days." , does this last 'what's the point' mean that his name is not worth mentioning, or is there another mystery behind it?"

Ji Xiaofu couldn't understand either. After a moment of silence, she said, "Why are you talking about such an important thing now?"

Chu Pingsheng looked aggrieved: "At that time, I said that the doctor was an expert from outside the world. You all said that I have little experience in the world, and I was cheated and had to help people count money. How dare I say the content behind this? Today I am gray. The rabbit's leg injury has healed, and you believed in the efficacy of the black jade intermittent ointment, so I dare to tell you the detailed conversation."

This logic... is correct.

Based on the situation at that time, if Chu Pingsheng told Master Jingxuan and Master Jingxu, he would inevitably be reprimanded. He, a fifth-generation male disciple, wanted to rebel by spreading the gossip about the founder of the Mountain.

"You must inform Senior Sister about this matter." Ji Xiaofu thought for a moment, then stood up and walked outside.

"Uncle Master, can't you go after dinner?"

"You guys eat first."

Nowadays, big and small gangs are gathered in Shiyan, looking like they are colluding and trying to go up the mountain to force the palace. Ji Xiaofu is very worried that Master Jingxuan will be persuaded by people from the Kunlun and Kongtong factions. If she overreacts, it will affect both parties. Party connections?
Now that I think about it, the charlatan wanted to use Chu Pingsheng's words to persuade them to treat them with caution and not to make mistakes or help the evildoers.

After Ji Xiaofu left, Chu Pingsheng looked at the swaying courtyard door and thought that half-truths and half-lie were the best way to bluff people.
