Li Shuchong looked at the five beautiful wives and concubines lying on the bed, and felt that the immortal aura in his body was surging like the clouds and mist of Lushan Mountain in spring, and the fourth cyclone was faintly formed, and a thought of going home suddenly rose in his mind, lingering.
Yes, after being away from home for so long, are your parents okay? What changes have happened to your relatives and friends? Now, he has also embarked on the path of cultivating immortals and refining qi, and finally has some ability to protect himself. Needless to say, the three spells have their own characteristics and are very practical enough to make him invincible: the "Shuttle" spell allows him to freely shuttle between the real world and the bookworm world, the "Divine Sense" spell allows the enemies around him to hide, and the "Hidden Illusion" spell allows him to change and hide in the sea of people.
What's more, after a night of fighting, not only did he help Xiao Zhao, Zhong Ling, Qin Wen, and Zhou Zhiruo succeed in cutting down their hair, and since then they have embarked on the path of cultivating immortals and refining qi, but more importantly, the aura in his own body has also greatly increased, and the fourth layer of qi refining is within reach, presumably he will get a new spell at that time, and his strength will definitely go to the next level.
Since you have embarked on the path of cultivating immortals, how can you walk at night in brocade clothes?

......
Qiao Feng, who was full of grief and indignation, thought about it: "Maybe all this is framed by a traitorous and evil person, my Qiao Feng's dignified husband, I am at the mercy of people and my reputation is ruined, and I will never recover, if I am aroused by the anger of the moment, I will just leave, and ignore the beggar gang from now on, wouldn't it be in vain to let the traitor's conspiracy succeed?" ā
He made up his mind that the first step was to go home. He wanted to rush back to Shaomu Mountain in Henan as soon as possible and ask Sanhuai Gong about his life history. The second step is to enter the Shaolin Temple to meet Master Xuanku, the teacher of karma, and ask him to show him the truth. These two people have always loved and cared for themselves, and they will never hide anything.
If the plan is set, there will be no worries in the heart.
He used to be the head of the beggar gang, walking the rivers and lakes, and he was really like home in the four seas, but at this moment, not only could he not go to various places to eat and lodging, but in order to avoid trouble, he avoided the road everywhere and did not meet the old members of the beggar gang. After only two days, he ran out of change, so he had to sell the horse he had taken from the Tangut people to be entangled.
One day, I came to the foot of Song Mountain and walked towards Shaomu Mountain. This is the place where he lived when he was a teenager, and everywhere is the scenery, all of which are old acquaintances. Since he became the leader of the beggar gang, the beggar gang is the first big gang in the rivers and lakes, and the Shaolin faction is the first major faction in the martial arts.
At this time, when he returned to his homeland, he thought that the mystery of his life experience could be revealed within an hour or two, Rao was calm and calm, and he couldn't help but feel worried in his heart.
His former residence was next to a hillside in the sun of Mt. Shomuro. Qiao Feng walked quickly around the hillside, walked to the three earthen houses, and shouted loudly, "Father, mother, the child is back." He called twice, but he didn't hear the answer, and thought, "Ah, yes, the second old man is deaf and can't hear." He pushed open the door and stepped in, and there were tables and benches, plows and hoes in the hall, as if they were not very different from the ones he had left home, but there was no one in sight.
Qiao Feng called out twice: "Dad! Mother!" Still didn't hear the answer, he was slightly surprised, and said to himself: "It's all there!" Probe to the bedroom, I couldn't help but be surprised, only to see Qiao Sanhuai and his wife lying on the ground, not moving.
Qiao Feng hurriedly entered, first helped his mother up, only to feel that her breathing had been cut off, but her body was still slightly warm, it was obvious that she had died for less than an hour, and when she picked up her father again, it was the same. Qiao Feng was panicked and grieved, walked out of the house with his father's corpse, and examined it carefully in the sun, and found that the ribs in his chest were cut off, and he was actually killed by a martial arts master with extremely powerful palm power, and then looking at his mother's corpse, it was no different. Qiao Feng's mind was confused: "My father and mother are loyal and honest farmers and peasant women, how could they attract martial arts masters to do this to them? ā
He looked inside the three rooms, in front of the house, in the back of the house, and on the roof, to find out what kind of man the murderer was. But the one who did it did not leave even a single footprint. Qiao Feng's face was full of tears, and the more he thought about it, the more sad he became, and he couldn't help crying.
I only cried for a moment, and suddenly heard someone behind me say: "It's a pity, it's a pity, we're a step too late." Qiao Feng turned around and saw that it was four middle-aged monks, and the clothes were from the Shaolin Temple. Although Qiao Feng had studied art in the Shaolin School, Master Xuanku, who taught him martial arts, came to his home in the middle of the night every night to teach, so he did not know the monks of the Shaolin Temple. He was sad in his heart at this time, and even though he saw outsiders, it was difficult to hold back his tears for a while.
A tall monk had an angry face on his face and said loudly: "Qiao Feng, you are really a pig and a dog. Even if Qiao Sanhuai and his wife are not your biological parents, more than ten years of nurturing grace, it is not trivial, how can they bear to kill them?" Qiao Feng cried: "I returned home at the right time, and when I saw that my parents were killed, I was about to find out the murderer and avenge my parents, why did the master say this?" The monk said angrily: "The ambition of the Khitan wolf son is really the same as the beast! You actually killed your father-in-law Yiyi with your own hands, we only hate to save each other late." surnamed Qiao, you have to go to Shaomu Mountain to spread wild, but there is still such a big difference. As he spoke, he slashed at Qiao Feng's chest.
Qiao Feng was about to dodge, only to hear the slight movement of the wind behind him, knowing that someone was sneaking up from behind, he didn't want to do it with these Shaolin monks so unclearly, his left foot was a little bit, and he jumped out lightly, and sure enough, another Shaolin monk kicked in the air.
When the four Shaolin monks saw him avoid it so easily, their faces were full of surprise. The tall monk scolded: "Although your martial arts are strong, what can you do? You want to kill your father-in-law and mother-in-law and hide your origin, but it's a pity that you are a Khitan evil species, and this matter has already spread to the martial arts. Another monk scolded: "You kill Ma Dayuan first, and then kill Qiao Sanhuai and his wife, hum, can this ugly thing be covered?"
Although Qiao Feng heard these two monks so ugly and insulting, but there was only grief in his heart, but there was no trace of anger, he was in the face of major events in his life, he was suspicious, and he had encountered a lot of difficult things, at this time, he was very calm, hugged his fists and saluted, and said: "May I ask the four masters how to call them? Are you a senior monk of Shaolin?"
A medium-sized monk had the best temper and said, "We are all Shaolin disciples. Alas, your father-in-law and mother-in-law have been loyal all their lives, but they have ended up with such a tragic retribution. Qiao Feng, you Khitans, you are also ruthless. ā
Qiao Feng thought to himself: "Since they refuse to reveal their names, it is useless to ask more. The tall monk said that they were late to rescue each other, and when they got the information and came to the rescue, who went to report the news? Who foresaw that my father was going to encounter danger?", and said: "The four masters were merciful and rushed down the mountain to save my father, but unfortunately they were one step late......
The tall monk was as fierce as fire, raised his fist with a big vinegar bowl, and struck Qiao Feng again, shouting: "We are one step late to let you do this disobedient thing, and you are still smug and sarcastic." ā
Qiao Feng knew that the four of them were kind, and after getting the information, he came to rescue his father and mother, and he really didn't want to do anything with them, but if he didn't restrain them, he would never understand the truth, so he said: "I am grateful for the kindness of the four of you, and I am helpless today, how offended!" The monk shouted, "Do you really do it?" As soon as he finished speaking, his shoulder had been slapped by Qiao Feng, and his body was weak and he sat down on the ground.
Qiao Feng was employed by the Shaolin faction, and he was familiar with the four monks and martial artists, and he slapped the four monks down one by one, and said: "I have offended! May I ask the four masters, you said that it was too late to save each other, how did you know that my father and mother were in distress? Who told the four masters of this news?"
The tall monk said angrily, "You just want to find out who reported the news, and then go and poison the victims." Shaolin disciple, how can you succumb to the coercion of your Khitan cheap dog? Even if you are tortured, you will never want to get half a word out of my mouth. ā
Qiao Feng sighed secretly in his heart: "The misunderstanding is getting deeper and deeper, no matter what I ask, they will treat it as a confession." Stretched out his hand and massaged on each person's back a few times, untied the sealed acupoints of the four monks, and said: "If you want to kill people and eliminate your mouth, I will give the lives of the four at this moment." The truth of right and wrong, I always hope that there will be a day when the truth will come out in the future. ā
Suddenly, a person on the side of the hillside sneered: "It may not be so easy to kill people and kill people!"
As soon as Qiao Feng looked up, he saw more than ten Shaolin monks standing next to the hillside, all holding weapons in their hands. The first two monks are about fifty years old, each hand to carry a convenient shovel, the shovel head of the stainless steel crescent moon emitted the cold light of the Aomori Forest, the two monks eyes are blazing, at first sight, you will know the deep internal strength. Although Qiao Feng is not afraid, he knows that the martial arts of the people who come are not weak, as long as he hands it over, if he does not kill and injure several people, it is not easy to retreat. He clasped his hands into fists and said, "Qiao Feng is rude, thank you masters." Suddenly, he flew upside down, smashed his back through the door, and entered the earthen house.
This change came very quickly, all the monks exclaimed in unison, five or six people rushed up at the same time, and just when they reached the door, a strong wind shot out of the door. These five or six people each raised their left palms, and the internal force of the rapid movement blocked the grid, and with a loud bang, the dust was flying, and they were forced to take four or five steps back by the palm force from inside the door. When they stood still, they all felt the blood in their chests surging, everyone looked at each other, and they all understood very well in their hearts: "Although Qiao Feng's palm is fierce, it still has some remaining strength, and the second palm will come again, and it may not be able to block it." Everyone thought that he was a vicious man, but he just said that he wanted to accumulate strength and strike again, but he didn't expect that he was actually merciful and didn't want to hurt people.
The monks were on guard, and after a while, the two monks led by them raised the shovel, and at the same time made a move, and the two monks entered with the shovel and rushed into the earthen house side by side. The two shovels intersected, weaving a net of light, protecting their bodies, but they saw that the house was empty, where was Qiao Feng's figure? What was even more strange was that even the corpses of Qiao Sanhuai and his wife were gone.
The two monks who make it convenient to shovel are the "precept monks" and "discipline-abiding monks" who supervise the behavior of the disciples of the Shaolin Temple in the "Discipline Institute".
It was extremely rare for the two of them to see Qiao Feng disappear in an instant, and it was even more incredible that they could take the corpses of Qiao Sanhuai and his wife with them. The monks searched in front of the house, behind the house, and by the kang stove. The two monks of the Discipline Academy chased down the mountain, and chased them out for more than 20 miles, where was there a trace of Qiao Feng?
No one expected that Qiao Feng would take his father's corpse and run against Shaomu Mountain. He rushed to the steep slope that was difficult for one person to reach, and buried his father and mother, knelt down and kowtowed respectfully eight times, and secretly wished in his heart: "Father, mother, who is the one who did this poison and harmed your second elder's life, my son will definitely get the murderer and go to the second elder's grave to sacrifice his heart." ā
Thinking of going home this time, I was only one step late, and I couldn't see my father and mother again, otherwise my father and mother would be happy to see that they had grown so strong and burly. If the three of them can meet for a day and a half, then they must have a moment of happiness. Thinking of this, I couldn't help but cry. He has been hard since he was a child, and rarely cries, but today he is really sad to the extreme, sad and angry to the extreme, tears are like springs, and it is difficult to suppress.
......
......
After Duan Yu and Ah Zhu rescued the beggars, they returned to Wang Yuyan and Ah Bi.
Ah Zhu and Wang Yuyan have the same heart, and they both want to summon Li Shuchong as soon as possible, but they don't want to be in front of everyone, especially Duan Yu, who is very in the way. Ah Bi was thinking about Murong Fu, just hoping to see his son and lover as soon as possible, and he was also very helpless about Duan Yu's journey with him, for fear of causing Murong Fu's misunderstanding.
The four of them had their own thoughts, and they didn't know where to go next.
Fortunately, not long after, Bao Wei and the evil two came to meet them. Bao and Feng naturally wanted the girls to go north together to find Murong Gongzi, but Ah Bi couldn't ask for it, and Ah Zhu and Wang Yuyan were silent and bitter. Duan Yu never forgot Wang Yuyan and wanted to follow. The storm was disgusted with his virtue of scorpion poison and welcomed it.
Bao was very unkind in his words, blaming Duan Yu for not pretending to be Murong Gongzi and ruining his reputation, and later, he actually revealed the meaning of "If you don't get out quickly, I will fight", Ah Bi just discussed with the turmoil where to find Murong Gongzi, and turned a blind eye to the embarrassment of Duan Yu's situation. Fortunately, Wang Yuyan and A Zhu remembered that he and his lover Li Shuchong had a love of worship, and they did not fall into the ground.
In the end, Azhu Wenyan persuaded: "Duan Gongzi, the five of us are going north to Shaolin Temple to find my son-in-law." This is a long way away, there are many inconveniences, not to mention the treacherous rivers and lakes, you better go home. Although Wang Yuyan did not open her mouth to persuade her, she obviously had this intention.
Duan Yu had no choice but to break up with Wang Yuyan. When he had traveled several miles, he turned around and went home no longer in the south-west direction, but in a radial direction north.

......
When Qiao Feng was crying bitterly, his mind suddenly changed and he secretly shouted: "Ah, it's not good, my karmic teacher, Master Xuanku, don't be in danger again." ā
He suddenly figured out a few things: "The murderer killed my father and mother, it was not so coincidental at all times, it happened to be in the middle of half an hour before I went home, it was premeditated by him, after he started, he immediately went to inform the monks of Shaolin Temple, saying that I was catching up with Shaomu Mountain and wanted to kill my father and mother." Those Shaolin monks were chivalrous and wanted to save my father, but they bumped into me. When the world knows the truth about my background, there is also a master of mystery, and I must prevent the murderer from poisoning me and planting the crime on me. ā
Thinking that the master of Xuan Ku might be in danger because of his own reasons, he couldn't help but burn inside, and he rushed to Shaolin Temple. He knew that the masters in the temple were like clouds, and several old monks in the Dharma Hall had their own extraordinary skills, as long as he showed up, the monks rose up and attacked, and it was not easy to get out, so he rushed to pick up the deserted paths. Thorns and weeds hooked his trouser legs to shreds, and blood was dripping on his calves, but he had no choice but to let it go. Going up the mountain around this trail, the distance is more than half far, and it takes more than an hour to climb to the back of the Shaolin Temple. At that time, the sky was already dark, and he was happy and worried, happy that it was easy for him to hide his figure in the dark, and worried that the murderer took advantage of the darkness to sneak attack, and it was not easy to find his traces.
In recent years, he has crisscrossed the rivers and lakes and rarely met opponents, but the enemy he encountered this time, although his martial arts must be strong, and he has never encountered the work of scheming and the poison of calculation.
Although Shaolin Temple is the general location of the Longtan Tiger's Den, it is not prepared for someone to harm the Master Xuanku, if someone sneaks up, I am afraid that it will inevitably be plotted. Qiao Feng didn't know that he was in a place of extreme suspicion, if Master Xuanku had been poisoned at this moment, and no one had seen the appearance of the murderer, and if he was seen sneaking into the temple, it would really be indisputable. If he wants to be alone at this moment, he should leave Shaolin Temple as far away as possible, but first, he cares about the safety of his mentor, Master Xuanku, and secondly, he wants to take the opportunity to arrest the real murderer and avenge his father, but he can't take care of it.
Although he has lived in Shaolin Mountain for more than ten years, he has never entered the Shaolin Temple, and he does not know the direction of the temple hall, and he does not know where Master Xuanku lives, thinking:
"But hopefully the teacher is safe and sound. I saw the face of my mentor, explained what happened, asked him to be careful, and then asked me about my background, maybe my teacher can guess who the real culprit is. ā
The courtyard of the middle hall of Shaolin Temple, not to mention dozens, one in the east and one in the west, are scattered between the hillsides. Master Xuanku is not in charge of his duties in the temple, and there are more than 20 monks of the "Xuan" generation, all of whom have the same looks, but where to find them in the dark? Qiao Feng thought in his heart: "The only way is to catch a Shaolin monk and force him to take me to see Master Xuanku. But most of the Shaolin monks respect the teacher and value righteousness, if they think that I am going to be unfavorable to Master Xuanku, most of them would rather die than give in, and will never say where he is. Well, I might as well go to the kitchen and find a fireman to lead the way, but these people may not know where my master is. ā
Wandering for a while, every time he passed a hall room, he lowered his ears to the window, hoping to hear any clues, although he grew up and was great, but he was agile, high and low, like a civet cat, and did not give people consciousness.
Listening to this all the way, I walked to the side of a small house, and suddenly heard someone in the window say: "The abbot has something to serve the business, please ask the uncle to go to the 'Taoist Academy' immediately." Another old voice said, "Yes!" I will go at once. Qiao Feng thought to himself: "The abbot gathers people to discuss important matters, maybe my master will also go." I will follow him to the "monastery." ā
I only heard a "ah" sound, and the door was pushed open, and two monks came out, the old one went west, and the young one hurried east, thinking that it was to pass on the people again.
Qiao Feng thought to himself, the abbot invited this old monk to discuss important matters, this person must have a high status, Shaolin Temple is different from other temples, and those who are high in rank will also have profound martial arts. He did not dare to follow him, but only looked at his back, followed from a distance, and saw him go west, into the westernmost house. Qiao Feng waited for him to enter the house and closed the door, then walked in a circle to the back of the house, and when he heard that there was no one around, he knelt down under the window.
He was sad and angry, and he thought to himself: "Since Qiao Feng walked the rivers and lakes, he has treated decent colleagues in the martial arts, and that thing is not bright and straightforward, and it is a big deal? I should repay such a great kindness, let alone a little humiliation?"
I only heard the sound of footsteps outside the door, four people came one after another, and after a while, two more people came, and the figure of a person was reflected on the window paper, and a total of more than ten people gathered. Qiao Feng thought to himself: "If they are discussing confidential and important matters in the Shaolin faction and overhear them to me, although I don't mean to, it's always inappropriate." It's better to stay away. If the Master is in the house, there are so many masters in it, no matter how powerful the murderer is, he will not be able to hurt him, and when the assembly is over and the monks are scattered, I will try to meet the Master again. ā
Just as he was about to walk away quietly, he suddenly heard more than a dozen monks in the room chanting the scriptures together. Qiao Feng didn't understand what scriptures they were reading, but he could hear the solemn voices, and there was a lot of sadness in the chanting voices of several people. After reciting this passage for a long time, he gradually felt that it was inappropriate, and pondered: "They seem to be doing some Dharma work, or they are participating in meditation and studying the scriptures, and my master may not be here." Listening carefully, sure enough, in the sound of the monks chanting in unison, there was no sound of Master Xuanku's calm and thick voice.
He couldn't decide whether to wait a little longer, but he heard the chanting stop, and a majestic voice said, "Senior Brother Xuanku, do you have anything else to say?"
Qiao Feng was overjoyed: "Master Guo is here, and his old man is also safe and sound." It turns out that he didn't chant the scriptures together......"
