Chapter 158 Is there a possibility that he is also your son!

Acupuncture in mid-air is a unique skill rumored in martial arts world!

Being able to press a person's acupoints from a distance of 16 feet is unheard of.

I'm afraid only the legendary Bodhidharma or Zhang Sanfeng, the resurrected masters of martial arts, could accomplish all this.

But just now, right in front of them, a young man who was no more than twenty years old did it easily.

"It seems that the rumors in the martial arts world are true. This boy inherited the martial arts from a martial arts elder and mastered this set of magical skills. I just don't know what kind of magical skills can allow a boy who is only twenty years old to have such terrifying skills."

The Tao in the heart of Tianxu Taoist, the head of Shangqing Temple.

"He can do mid-air acupuncture. This boy has extremely high internal strength. If we only talk about internal strength, I'm afraid no one in our Shangqing Temple can match him."

Taoist Chongxu also had the same thought in his heart.

Although he looks rough and has a somewhat impulsive personality, he is not ignorant of the immensity of heaven and earth.

The other party casually displayed his unique skill of pressing acupoints in mid-air, and pressed Shi Zhongyu's acupoints from a distance of more than 16 feet. It can be seen that the second leader of the Yunlong Gang, who is famous in the world but rarely appears in the martial arts world, is a rare top master in the world.

"When the noise stops, I will tell you why I brought this boy to Shangqing Temple."

Chu Yuan pressed the acupoints on the jade stone in mid-air, as if he was doing something insignificant, he said to Taoist Tianxu and Taoist Chongxu.

Taoist Tianxu and Taoist Chongxu saw Chu Yuan say this.

They didn't mention it anymore, and just now they said they wanted Chu Yuan to give an explanation.

After seeing that he had shown off his skills, Taoist Tianxu and Taoist Chongxu were willing to listen to him carefully and explain the whole story. Chu Yuan talked about the cause and effect of the matter.

The acupuncture points in mid-air that shocked Taoist Tianxu and Taoist Chongxu deeply...

It’s not some magical skill!
In fact, it is a special way of using internal force after the internal force becomes strong enough.

The current maximum distance that Chu Yuan can reach when pressing acupoints in mid-air is three meters!
These distracting thoughts flashed through his mind, and Chu Yuan said to Taoist Tianxu and Taoist Chongxu in a serious tone: "Since you two recognized him as your nephew, do you know that there is someone in the Changle Gang who looks exactly like your nephew and is serving as the leader of the Changle Gang?"

Taoist Tianxu frowned and asked, "What does Boss Chu mean by this?"

Taoist Chongxu asked, "Boss Chu, are you trying to say that someone is pretending to be our nephew?"

Seeing that the two old Taoists didn't understand the key point of the matter, Chu Yuan said, "Since you two recognized him as your nephew, I believe you should also know that this boy has a bad temper. A few years ago, Shi Qing and his wife sent him to the Snow Mountain Sect to learn martial arts and handed him over to his good friend Feng Wanli for discipline. Do you know what happened afterwards?"

Chu Yuan's words left Taoist Tianxu and Taoist Chongxu confused and bewildered.

Taoist Tianxu frowned, "The reason we recognized him just now is that he is our nephew Yu'er, because many years ago, Junior Brother Shiqing and his wife brought Yu'er to Shangqing Temple to pay us a visit. Later, we did hear that he was sent to the Snow Mountain Sect to learn martial arts, but we don't know what happened after that."

After all, Shi Zhongyu was just their nephew, not a disciple of Shangqing Temple, nor their own direct disciple, so they didn't have the time or energy to pay too much attention to him.

Chu Yuan continued: "It just so happens that I know. Let me tell you two about Shi Zhongyu's subsequent experiences..."

Chu Yuan glanced at Shi Zhongyu, who was being acupunctured by him, and looked at him in horror:
"He first attempted to violate the granddaughter of the leader of the Snow Mountain Sect, his junior sister, and forced her to jump off a cliff. His life or death was unknown. After being discovered, he fled from the Snow Mountain Sect. While escaping from the pursuit of the Snow Mountain Sect disciples, he met Bei Haishi, who was looking for someone to replace the leader of the Changle Gang. He accepted the reward and punishment order for him and went to the Xiake Island for a banquet. He became the leader of the Changle Gang. After being domineering in the Changle Gang for a while, he learned the real reason why Bei Haishi appointed him as the leader, so he fled from the Changle Gang again and hid in the martial arts world. Not long ago, I met him in a small town on the northwest border."

"At the same time, Bei Haishi saw that his scapegoat had escaped, so he naturally didn't want to see it go. He led the Changle Gang to search for him in the martial arts world, and he actually found a young man who looked exactly like Shi Zhongyu and made him the gang leader. Not long ago, this young man was in the Changle Gang."

Taoist Tianxu understood what Chu Yuan meant. He stroked his beard and said, "Boss Chu, what you mean is that there is a young man who looks exactly like my nephew, and he replaced my nephew to become the leader of the Changle Gang?"

Chu Yuan nodded and said, "Not bad."

Taoist Tianxu pondered for a moment and raised his head and said, "Even if this is true, how did Boss Chu know about it?"

Chu Yuan smiled and said, "Because that young man is one of my little brothers. I lived with him on Motian Cliff for several years. I saw with my own eyes that he was invited away from Motian Cliff by Bei Haishi as the leader of Changle Gang. But he clearly lived on Motian Cliff with me and Motian Jushi before and never left the mountain."

Taoist Chongxu was surprised and asked, "Master Motian? But is it the famous Master Motian Xie Yanke who is famous in the martial arts world?"

Chu Yuan said: "Yes, it's him. Besides him, is there anyone else in the world called Motian Jushi?"

Chu Yuan went on to say, "That little brother and I were brought back to Motian Cliff by Motian Lay Buddhist Xie Yanke because we had received a black iron order from him in our early years. We lived in seclusion there."

"Black Iron Order!" Taoist Tianxu was moved: "But is it the Black Iron Order that appeared at the Houjian Market in Kaifeng City five years ago?"

The appearance of the Black Iron Order was once a hot topic in the martial arts world, and later he also heard about it from his junior fellow apprentice brother Shi Qing and his wife.

"Yes, it is that black iron order."

Chu Yuan nodded.

"It is said that the Black Iron Order was obtained by two little beggars. Could it be that Boss Chu and that little brother were the two little beggars who obtained the Black Iron Order five years ago?"

Taoist Chongxu also asked.

"That Black Iron Token was indeed obtained by the two of us."

Chu Yuan nodded.

When Taoist Tianxu and Taoist Chongxu heard this, a look of realization flashed across their faces.

It seems that the second leader of the Yunlong Gang, "Yunlong Sword God", who suddenly appeared in the martial arts world in recent years, did not appear suddenly.

He had already made his mark in the world five years ago.

It is said that among the two little beggars who obtained the Black Iron Order, one of them had extremely high martial arts and swordsmanship.

He defeated nearly ten disciples of the Snow Mountain Sect, which caused a great uproar in the martial arts world at that time.

After thinking for a while, Taoist Tianxu said, "Bei Haishi of Changle Gang, in order to avoid accepting the reward order and punishing evil, avoided going to the Xiake Island for the banquet. He actually asked this old Taoist nephew to be the leader of Changle Gang and let him die for Changle Gang. It is really abominable that even this good friend of Gang Leader Chu was implicated. If Gang Leader Chu wanted to expose the identities of the two, he should have gone to Xuansu Manor of old Taoist Shi Qing. Why did he find Shangqing Temple?"

After listening to Chu Yuan's story, Taoist Tianxu roughly understood Chu Yuan's purpose. However, he didn't understand why Chu Yuan didn't go to Xuansu Manor but came to Shangqing Temple if he wanted to expose the identities of the two.

Chu Yuan said: "To expose the identities of the two, we naturally need to have all the evidence. Now I have brought your nephew to Shangqing Temple. We are just waiting for Shi Qing and his wife and my little brother to arrive, and then everything will be revealed."

Taoist Tianxu said, "Boss Chu, are you saying that my junior brother Shi Qing and his wife, and your little brother will come to our Shangqing Temple?"

Chu Yuan said: "Now that the reward order for good and punishment for evil has reappeared in the martial arts world, Shangqing Temple is a major sect in the martial arts world, so it is naturally not immune. It won't be long before the two envoys of rewarding good and punishing evil will come to Shangqing Temple to issue the reward order for good and punishment for evil. Shi Qing and his wife are disciples of Shangqing Temple. They are worried about the safety of Shangqing Temple, so they will return to Shangqing Temple."

"As for my little brother..." Chu Yuan changed his tone: "They should have met each other. Mr. and Mrs. Shi Qing regarded my little brother as their son Shi Zhongyu. It happened that my brother was lost from his mother in his early years. Lady Min Rou treated him very well. He regarded Lady Min Rou as his mother. When the black and white swords appeared, he would also show up."

Chu Yuan was not sure whether Brother Gou would show up in Shangqing Temple.

He just vaguely remembered that there was a part in the original plot where Brother Gou would appear in Shangqing Temple.

However, the appearance of this time traveler has had some impact on the plot. It is hard to say whether Brother Gou will appear in Shangqing Temple again.

"Boss Chu, what you said makes sense. Is this the reward for good and punishment for evil order you mentioned?"

Taoist Tianxu suddenly took out a palm-sized bronze plate from his arms, with the words "Reward the good and punish the evil" written on the back and front respectively.

"An order to reward the good and punish the evil?" Chu Yuan asked, "Have the two envoys for rewarding the good and punishing the evil come?"

Taoist Tianxu smiled bitterly and said, "I came here three days ago."

Chu Yuan said, "Since Sect Leader Tianxu has received the order to reward good deeds and punish evil deeds, Mr. and Mrs. Shi Qing should be on their way back to Shangqing Temple after hearing the news. I wonder if Sect Leader Tianxu would mind if I stay in Shangqing Temple for a few days?"

Taoist Tianxu said: "Of course I don't mind, but this acupuncture point of my nephew..."

Taoist Tianxu looked to the side and saw Shi Zhongyu, who had his acupoints pressed by Chu Yuan.

Chu Yuan smiled and said, "I can unblock his acupuncture points, but Sect Leader Tianxu must promise me that he cannot escape."

I don’t know when Shi Qing and his wife will arrive at Shangqing Temple, so I can’t keep pressing Shi Zhongyu’s acupoints.

Taoist Tianxu assured: "Don't worry, Boss Chu, I will send someone to keep a close watch on this nephew."

Although Taoist Tianxu was angry and Bei Haishi was plotting against Shi Zhongyu, wanting Shi Zhongyu to go to the banquet on Xiake Island on behalf of Changle Gang, after learning about what Shi Zhongyu had done, he really couldn't like this nephew.

Chu Yuan nodded, without getting up, he flicked his fingers twice at Shi Zhongyu, who was about 16 feet away from him, to unblock his acupoints.

Chu Yuan looked at Shi Zhongyu and said, "Shi Zhongyu, let me ask you, is there anything untrue about what I just said about you?"

Shi Zhongyu was being stared at by Chu Yuan, and he felt tremendous pressure for a moment.

And what Chu Yuan just said about him was basically completely true. Even if he didn't admit it, as long as he found someone to verify it, it could be confirmed. He had no way to deny it.

Shi Zhongyu could only accept his fate and said, "Every word that Boss Chu said is true." When Taoist Tianxu saw Shi Zhongyu admit it, he turned to his junior brother Taoist Chongxu and said, "Junior brother, you will arrange a guest room for Boss Chu to stay in our Shangqing Temple first."

Taoist Chongxu stood up and said, "As you wish, Master Brother."

Taoist Chongxu turned around and led the way: "Boss Chu, please follow me."

Chu Yuan stood up and left with Taoist Chongxu.

In this way, Chu Yuan stayed in the guest room arranged for him in Shangqing Temple.

As for Shi Zhongyu, whose acupoints were unblocked by Chu Yuan, Taoist Tianxu arranged for nearly ten disciples of Shangqing Temple to "send" him to the guest room to rest.

Chu Yuan thought he would have to wait for a while, but on the third night after he and Shi Zhongyu arrived at Shangqing Temple, Taoist Tianxu sent Taoist Chongxu to invite Chu Yuan.

"Mr. and Mrs. Shi Qing have arrived?"

Chu Yuan, who was meditating and practicing in the room, opened the door and asked Taoist Chongxu.

The internal force in Chu Yuan's Dantian Qi Sea has reached its limit again, and Chu Yuan is trying to see if he can break through the limit.

"That's right, Boss Chu is very good at predicting things. Junior Brother Shi Qing and his wife came back to Shangqing Temple to reward the good and punish the evil. The headmaster decided to host a banquet for them in the evening. The headmaster has told them about this matter. Junior Brother Shi Qing and his wife found it incredible, so the headmaster sent someone to invite Boss Chu and Junior Brother Shi to come over together!"

Taoist Chongxu nodded.

"In that case, let's go."

Chu Yuan held a bamboo stick in his hand, closed the door, and went to the courtyard for the banquet with Taoist Chongxu who was holding a lantern.

This is a quiet flower room with many potted flowers planted in it.

When Chu Yuan and Taoist Chongxu walked in, Shi Zhongyu was also invited over by the disciples of Shangqing Temple. As soon as he saw Chu Yuan, Shi Zhongyu lowered his head, and it was obvious that he was very afraid of Chu Yuan.

There is a round table in the room.

There was a sumptuous meal on the round table. Shi Qing and his wife, and Taoist Tianxu had just sat down. When they heard the noise, they looked up at Chu Yuan, Shi Zhongyu, and Taoist Chongxu who walked in from outside the house.

"Brother Chu, I never thought that after our hasty farewell five years ago, we would meet again today. Brother Chu has not only become the world-famous top master "Cloud Dragon Sword God", but also founded the Cloud Dragon Gang."

When Chu Yuan walked in, Tianxu, Shi Qing and Min Rou all stood up. Shi Qing clasped his fists and said to Chu Yuan with emotion.

From the bamboo stick in Chu Yuan's hand, he recognized that Chu Yuan was the little beggar they had seen outside Kaifeng City five years ago.

"Yu'er!"

Min Rou glanced at Shi Zhongyu who was standing next to Chu Yuan, her eyes red.

"mother!"

Shi Zhongyu looked a little embarrassed and called out timidly.

The reason why he hid in the martial arts world and didn't go back to Xuansu Manor to see his parents was because he had caused a big disaster in the Snow Mountain Sect and was afraid that he would be scolded by his parents after returning to Xuansu Manor.

Who knew that he would meet Chu Yuan on the road and be forcibly taken to Shangqing Temple. He had no choice but to see him even if he didn't want to.

"Sit down. Since Gang Leader Chu and Junior Brother Shi Qing know each other, they are considered acquaintances. Sit down and talk if you have anything to say."

Taoist Tianxu invited everyone to take a seat.

After hearing this, several people sat down one after another, but Chu Yuan found a large empty porcelain bowl on the table.

The other bowls and plates were all filled with dishes, but this porcelain bowl was empty, which looked a little strange.

The bowls and chopsticks placed in front of other people at the table were very clean. It seemed that they had not started eating before Chu Yuan, Chongxu and Shi Zhongyu arrived, and were waiting for them to arrive before starting the meal.

Seeing Chu Yuan looking at the empty bowl on the table, Taoist Tianxu smiled calmly and said, "Maybe the Taoist priests in the temple were careless and served the empty bowl as a dish!"

Then he looked at Chongxu and said, "Junior Brother Chongxu, why don't you quickly have someone take the empty bowls away?"

Upon hearing the instructions from his head brother, Taoist Chongxu looked a little annoyed. He felt that the disciples in the temple were so careless. He immediately stood up and called a disciple in to take the empty bowl away.

Seeing this scene, Taoist Tianxu felt relieved.

The contents of the bowl were probably secretly taken away by someone before they arrived, but that person's martial arts skills were so high that none of the disciples in the temple noticed it.

Fortunately, he found an excuse to cover it up, otherwise if the matter had been exposed, Shangqing Temple would have lost all its reputation.

After all, Shangqing Temple is considered a big sect in the martial arts world, but someone broke in secretly and stole the dishes for the banquet without anyone noticing. It was really too embarrassing.

Let’s not talk about the fact that Shi Qing and Min Rou are our own people for now, but Chu Yuan, the second leader of the Yunlong Gang, is also present at this dinner.

When Chu Yuan saw Taoist Tianxu's expression, his heart moved and he seemed to be thinking about something.

The other protagonist of this dinner party may have already arrived, but no one has noticed.

Chu Yuan calmed down and carefully sensed his surroundings. Sure enough, he sensed a faint breath behind a large plaque on the beam above his head.

Chu Yuan immediately smiled and said, "It seems that there is an uninvited guest here tonight."

After saying that, he immediately activated his palm power and performed the "Heavenly Gang and Earthly Evil Palm" towards the back of the large plaque on the beam above his head!
Internal force swept out from his meridians, and the power of yin and yang was circulating. With each press and contraction, a strong suction force was generated, causing a gust of wind in the house, and the target of the wind was the figure hiding behind the big plaque.

"not good!"

The figure hiding behind the plaque was immersed in the joy of seeing an acquaintance. In addition, the space behind the plaque was limited, so he could not dodge in time. He was pulled down by the suction force from the side of the plaque two or three feet above everyone's heads and landed steadily next to Chu Yuan.

"Brother Chu!"

The young man shouted happily when he saw Chu Yuan.

Shi Qing, Min Rou, Tianxu and Taoist Chongxu felt that in the blink of an eye, a young man who looked exactly like Shi Zhongyu appeared before them.

"You are……"

Shi Qing did not have time to marvel at the amazing palm technique Chu Yuan had just displayed. He looked at the young man who suddenly appeared and his son Shi Zhongyu beside him. He saw that the two looked exactly the same. Shi Qing was puzzled.

"Master Shi, Madam Shi, I am a dog bastard. Brother Chu gave me the name Dog Brother!"

The young man was none other than the dog brother and the bastard Chu Yuan hadn’t seen for some time. He touched his head and looked at the two of them with a simple smile.

"You bastard...Dog brother!"

Shi Qing and his wife immediately thought of the young man they met not long ago when Bai Wanjian was escorting his son back to the Snow Mountain Sect.

At that time, they thought they had met their son, but now that their son was right next to them, they were no longer sure!

"We just met not long ago, Madam Shi, you even taught me swordsmanship!"

Dog brother said to Shi Qing and his wife.

"So it was you we met before, not Yu'er!"

Min Rou suddenly understood.

"Looks like... they look so much alike. How could there be two people in the world who look so similar?"

Shi Qing stood up and looked at Gou Ge and his son Shi Zhongyu.

Apart from the different clothes they wore and slightly different temperaments, the two of them looked like they were cast in the same mold. Even their biological parents could hardly tell them apart.

"It seems that what Gang Leader Chu said to our senior brother before was true. This little brother really helped our Yu'er to get out of trouble."

Min Rou thought of what Taoist Tianxu had said to them and their husband.

"Is there a possibility that he is also the son of the second one?"

After Chu Yuan pulled Gou Ge to sit next to him, he said to Min Rou and Shi Qing.

Chu Yuan's words were like a thunderclap, causing Shi Qing, Min Rou and his wife to change their expressions drastically, and also causing the expressions of others to change slightly.
