Chapter 173 The Long Han River
Xin Zhen felt extremely sleepy and tired, and also felt a sharp pain in his back. He couldn't help but groan: "It hurts!"

I heard a man shouting in delight: "My young master is not dead! My young master is not dead!"

Another old voice exclaimed, and then a little boy's voice said, "He's about to open his eyes!"

Xin Zhen opened his eyes with difficulty, and saw a big man with a full beard, who came very close to him, staring at him with wide eyes, and said with joy on his face: "My lady! My lady! You're awake!"

Xin Zhen just felt that he had difficulty breathing. At this time, a warm big hand was placed on his back, and a warm and strong internal force penetrated into his body. He immediately felt the severe pain subsided and his breathing became smoother.

Xin Zhen then felt as if he was naked. He looked down and found that he was indeed naked, but his body was like that of a child. He was immediately shocked. He turned around and saw a big hole dug in the mud beside him. He was shocked again: "Are you going to bury me?"

The bearded man quickly explained, "My lord, you were shot by a poisonous arrow from the Tartars and are no longer breathing. I thought you had passed away and wanted to bury you with a Ming Cult funeral. Fortunately, you woke up in time and nothing serious happened."

Xin Zhen keenly captured the key words.

Tartars, the Ming Cult, and the bodies of children.

Xin Zhen looked behind him and saw an old Taoist priest with two children in front of him, a girl and a boy. The boy looked sick. Xin Zhen felt something and asked immediately, "Are you Chang Yuchun?"

The bearded man said happily, "Sir, you are in good spirits. You even recognized me. It seems that there is nothing wrong with your health."

Xin Zhen let out a long sigh and thought to himself, "Wow! I just left The Smiling, Proud Wanderer and now I'm in The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber."

Since the person in front of him is Chang Yuchun, the little girl must be Zhou Zhiruo, the boy must be Zhang Wuji, and the old Taoist priest with an immortal look behind him must be Zhang Sanfeng.

Where does your identity come from?
It seems to be... Zhou, the hero who rebelled at the end of the Yuan Dynasty... Zhou what's his origin... Yes, Zhou Ziwang!

At this time, Zhang Sanfeng said: "He is not fully recovered yet. He was hit by a poisonous arrow and his body is still poisonous. The arrow wound also needs to be treated. But it’s okay. I have some medicine on me. You can apply it on him."

Chang Yuchun said quickly: "Please Master Zhang, please use your magic hands to save my husband's life."

Zhang Sanfeng nodded, took out the medicine and applied it carefully to Xin Zhen. Xin Zhen felt a coolness on his back and it didn't hurt as much anymore. He thought the problem must be gone.

After applying the medicine, Chang Yuchun put clothes on Xin Zhen, then cooked some porridge and fed Xin Zhen a bowl of hot porridge. Only then did Xin Zhen feel like he was coming back to life.

Seeing that Xin Zhen was fine, Zhang Sanfeng said, "Yuchun, we agreed before that you would take Wuji to Die Valley, and I would take Zhiruo back to Wudang. Now that your husband is fine, I'm afraid it will be difficult for you to take care of two children by yourself. Why don't I take you there?"

Chang Yuchun thought that this was also the truth, and nodded, saying: "Then I'll trouble you, Master. When we get to Butterfly Valley, you just don't show up."

Zhang Sanfeng nodded: "That's great."

Xin Zhen closed his eyes to rest, and when he heard this, he opened his eyes and said, "There's no need to go through so much trouble. I have a way to treat Brother Wuji's injury."

Chang Yuchun said quickly, "Young Master, please don't talk nonsense. Brother Zhang Wuji was poisoned by a cold that spread into his internal organs. It cannot be cured by ordinary monsters. Even real people can't help. You don't know any medical skills, so how can you help?"

Zhang Sanfeng was moved when he heard this and asked, "Young Master, what can you do?"

Xin Zhen coughed twice, and felt the wound on his back start to hurt again. Zhang Sanfeng quickly injected some internal energy into him to relieve the pain. Xin Zhen then said, "I have a family secret technique that is very effective in dissolving the alien true qi in the body.

Brother Wuji's body seems to be filled with cold poison, but in fact it is a different kind of true energy occupying his internal organs. As long as he learns this mental method, he will be able to naturally dissolve the cold poison in his body."

Zhang Sanfeng saw that what Xin Zhen said was very reasonable, and he immediately had some hope in his heart, and hurriedly said: "Little brother, if there is such a skill, please pass it on to Wuji, and I will not let you suffer any loss.

If you are willing to leave the Ming Cult, I can let my eldest disciple Song Yuanqiao accept you as his disciple. In the future, you will be able to travel the world with pride and no one will dare to look down on you. "

Chang Yuchun was immediately attracted. Song Yuanqiao was the leader of the Seven Heroes and was famous all over the world. It was not easy for ordinary martial artists to meet him.

The Wudang heroes only started to accept disciples in recent years, but the selection is very strict. If one does not have good physical qualifications, character and personality, one will never be able to become a Wudang disciple.

The young master was born in the Ming Cult. Ordinary people would frown upon hearing this. However, Zhang Sanfeng took a fancy to him and asked him to become Song Yuanqiao's disciple. For someone who studies martial arts, this is a rare and great blessing.

Besides, now that my lord Zhou Ziwang has been defeated and killed, the Tartars are still trying to capture me. I cannot protect him by myself. If I can join the Wudang Sect, with the ability of Zhang Sanfeng, he will naturally be able to protect me.

As he was thinking, he suddenly heard Xin Zhen say, "Master Zhang, let's not talk about this for now. You saved my life and Brother Chang's life. I have nothing to repay you, so I will repay you with this inner strength method. Of course, I will never be able to repay your life-saving grace. This is just a small token of my consolation."

Zhang Sanfeng shook his head and said, "I am not a person who would repay a favor. I have a basic skill of Taiyi Mian Zhang, which is considered a good palm technique in the martial arts world. How about exchanging it with you, my lord?"

Xin Zhen smiled and said, "Master Zhang, I mean repaying a favor. If you want to exchange it for martial arts, then I won't give it to you."

Zhang Sanfeng thought about it for a moment, then said with a smile: "Well, then I will consider it as a favor to you."

Xin Zhen then nodded and smiled, "That's great, let's get started."

Xin Zhen opened his mouth to chant the Purple Cloud Magic Skill, and Chang Yuchun hurriedly said, "My dear, please don't chant yet. Wait for me to get off the boat first."

Zhang Sanfeng nodded and said, "Wuji, you and Brother Zhou stay on the boat, and I, Zhiruo, and Brother Yuchun will all go down."

Xin Zhen said: “Everyone please stay, I will help Wuji remember it.

Sister Zhiruo's father died because of me. I owe her a life, so I will repay her with my magical powers.

Brother Yuchun has protected me with his life all the way, so I owe him more than just a life. I also have to give him a share of this magical skill. Since he has the magical skill, he will naturally give me an extra life."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Sanfeng nodded continuously, feeling that Xin Zhen was an upright man who knew how to repay kindness.

The young man from the Zhou family said that he wanted him to help Wuji remember it, but in fact, he wanted him to verify whether this technique can dissolve the alien true qi, so that he can feel at ease. This is aboveboard.

Teaching Zhou Zhiruo and Chang Yuchun martial arts was a way of repaying a favor.
