Chapter 191: Breaking into Leigu Mountain
Chu Yuan's internal force from "Shenzhaojing" has healing properties, like a spring-like earth, and wherever it passes, all her damaged meridians are repaired.

Not only that, her damaged heart meridians were also gradually recovering.

Soon, Ah Zhu's originally pale face gradually turned rosy.

An hour later, the bright moon outside the house set in the west. When a hint of paleness appeared in the sky, Chu Yuan, who had his eyes closed, opened them and withdrew his hands from Azhu's shoulders.

Qiao Feng, who had been standing by without disturbing Chu Yuan, asked Chu Yuan: "Second brother, what happened?"

After Chu Yuan got off the ground, he said to Qiao Feng, "The internal injuries are no longer serious. Once Miss Azhu recovers from her external injuries, she will be able to recover."

Qiao Feng said: "That's good."

Chu Yuan asked Qiao Feng: "I wonder, Brother Qiao, what are your plans next?"

Qiao Feng looked a little bewildered. He shook his head and said, "I don't know."

Chu Yuan saw that Qiao Feng was still very concerned about his identity as a Han Chinese and a barbarian, so he said to Qiao Feng, "Brother Qiao, do you remember what I said to you?"

Qiao Feng was puzzled: "What did you say?"

Chu Yuan said: "Whether you were born as a Hu or Han, whether you want to live as a Hu or Han, it all depends on your own will, and some things are not black and white, and you don't have to make a choice."

Qiao Feng still didn't quite understand: "Second brother, what you mean is..."

Chu Yuan said: "What I mean is that the relationship between countries is not one of life and death, but of peaceful coexistence. Brother Qiao, you are a Khitan, but you were raised by the Han people, and you practiced the martial arts of Shaolin and the Beggars' Sect. Naturally, you should work hard to make the Liao Dynasty and the Song Dynasty coexist peacefully. In addition, there are not only the Song Dynasty and the Liao Dynasty in the world. Aren't there Xixia and Tubo next to the Song and Liao? Although there are frictions between the Song and Liao dynasties, they are not just opponents and enemies!"

Chu Yuan remembered that in the future when the two tigers fought each other, neither the Song Dynasty nor the Liao Dynasty gained the upper hand.

Instead, it contributed to the rise of the powerful enemy Western Xia and created a three-way balance of power.

Later, both Liao and Song organized large armies to attack Western Xia, but were defeated successively.

Later, the Liao Dynasty was destroyed by the Jin Dynasty, and the Western Xia also surrendered to the Jin Dynasty. The Jin Dynasty was destroyed by the joint efforts of the Southern Song Dynasty and Mongolia. After that, he swept across Europe and Asia, led Mongolia to conquer the Southern Song Dynasty, and fought all the way to another continent. This is the rise of the great Genghis Khan!
There is no eternal hatred between countries, only eternal interests.

At the same time, there is hatred and friendship between the people of different countries, but both hatred and friendship need to be created by the people of the two countries themselves.

In Chu Yuan's opinion, Qiao Feng is the person who is most suitable to bridge the relationship between the Song Dynasty and the Liao Dynasty.

Qiao Feng understood what Chu Yuan meant. He looked at Chu Yuan in surprise and said, "Second brother, you are saying that Song and Liao are not enemies. The real enemy is another country."

Chu Yuan nodded and said, "Li Yuanhao, the Emperor of Xixia, is a man of great talent and strategy. Under his leadership, Xixia eliminated the influence of Liao and Song dynasties, established a country and proclaimed himself emperor. He and his queen established the Xixia Yipintang, subdued the four evil men, and intervened in the underworld. This man is a hero, and Xixia is also a great enemy of Liao and Song dynasties."

After listening to Chu Yuan's words, Qiao Feng thought for a while, and his eyes gradually became bright. He felt that he had found the purpose of living again.

Qiao Feng patted Chu Yuan on the shoulder and said, "Second brother, what you said makes sense. Since my bloodline is Khitan, and the Han people who raised and taught me martial arts are Han, I should let Song and Liao coexist peacefully. This is what I should do after I take revenge."

After saying this, Qiao Feng looked at Chu Yuan in surprise again.

Chu Yuan asked, "What's wrong, Brother Qiao?"

Qiao Feng said, "Brother Chu, I didn't expect that besides martial arts, you can also see the general trend between countries. I am not just a warrior who knows nothing else except martial arts."

Chu Yuan smiled when he heard this, but said nothing.

How could he understand the general situation between countries? He just knew some things about the future.

At this moment, Chu Yuan noticed that Ah Zhu's eyelashes trembled slightly, but she did not open her eyes.

Chu Yuan's heart moved. Ah Zhu should have woken up, but she pretended not to wake up. He didn't know what had just happened between her and Qiao Feng that made her pretend not to wake up even though she was awake.

Chu Yuan just pretended not to see it and didn't expose it.

In fact, the commotion caused by Azhu and Qiao Feng was so great that as soon as the sky began to brighten, all the monks in the Shaolin Temple were mobilized to search the entire Shaoshi Mountain.

Perhaps it was because the courtyard where Chu Yuan and his friends lived had been attacked last night, but no one took their suspicious eyes seriously, which allowed Azhu and Qiao Feng to escape.

After daybreak, Ah Zhu needed to urinate urgently and could no longer pretend to be unconscious. She could only open her eyes to show that she was awake.

She had no ability to move, so it was Qiao Feng who carried her out.

When Qiao Sanhuai and his wife saw Qiao Feng carrying Azhu out of the room, they thought that Qiao Feng had brought back a daughter-in-law, so the more they looked at Azhu, the more satisfied they became.

This made Ah Zhu a little shy, and she hid in the room and didn't show up in front of the two elders.

However, after some discussion between Chu Yuan and Qiao Feng, they felt that there was suddenly a woman in the yard, and even if she was hidden well, she would inevitably be discovered by the monks in Shaolin Temple.

So Qiao Feng decided to secretly take Azhu away and bring her to the Beggars' Sect headquarters in Luoyang City to heal her wounds.

Two days later, Qiao Feng took Azhu and left Shaolin Temple quietly.

As for Qiao Feng's adoptive parents, Qiao Sanhuai and his wife, although Xiao Yuanshan's identity was revealed, making it impossible for him to take action against Qiao Sanhuai and his wife, to be on the safe side, he still let the two old people live in Shaolin Temple.

Chu Yuan originally wanted to meet the sweeping monk in Shaolin Temple, but based on his current martial arts skills, he was afraid that he was not sure of defeating the opponent, so Chu Yuan could only put this plan on hold temporarily.

After Qiao Feng and Azhu left Shaolin Temple, Chu Yuan also said goodbye to Qiao Sanhuai and his wife and left Shaolin Temple.

He planned to go to Leigushan Mountain to meet the "Wuyazi" who pretended to be dead.

There are many secrets about the Xiaoyao Sect, but what Chu Yuan is most interested in is the Eternal Spring Valley.

It is said that Xiaoyaozi, the master of the three Xiaoyao elders, had been there.

The martial arts of the Xiaoyao sect do have the ability to rejuvenate and preserve one's youth.

Not to mention the Tianshan Tonglao who could regain her youth, Li Qiushui, who was in her eighties or nineties, became the queen of Western Xia and gave birth to a prince for Li Yuanhao, the founding emperor of Western Xia.

Wuyazi, who is nearly a hundred years old, has a face as white as jade without a single wrinkle. He is still in high spirits, has an elegant demeanor, and does not look old at all.

The Xiaoyao Sect is more like a sect of cultivating immortals rather than a martial arts sect.

The Three Xiaoyao Elders may also be Chu Yuan, another person who broke the limit of lifespan besides Zhang Sanfeng whom he met before.

As for Leigushan...

This intelligent and eloquent Mr. Su Xinghe has some reputation in the world, and his position is easy to find out.

Chu Yuan simply used his power as the Green Lotus Messenger of the Beggar Gang and asked the Beggar Gang disciples to find out. They found out that Leigushan was in the Central Plains.

It is located in the south of Song County and northeast of Qu Yuan Hill.

This "Mr. Smart and Debatable" Su Xinghe founded a sect called "The Deaf and Mute Sect" in the Tianlongdiya Valley of Leigushan Mountain. He accepted a group of deaf and mute people as his disciples and had some influence in the martial arts world.

Leigushan Mountain is not far from Shaoshi Mountain, about three or four hundred miles to the west.

Chu Yuan's lightness skill is much better now than before. He uses it to travel. He walks on steep cliffs as if they were on flat ground. He passes over the trees in the mountains and fields, leaving only a shadow. If ordinary people see him, they would probably think they have seen a ghost. His speed is even faster than riding a horse.

In addition, he has strong internal energy to protect his body, so he is not afraid of the sun or rain.

He used his Qinggong skills and rushed from Shaoshi Mountain to Leigu Mountain in less than two days.

Chu Yuan stood at the foot of Leigushan Mountain, looking at the mountain in front of him.

As the name suggests, the mountain looks like two big drums, with cliffs in the southeast and northwest, enclosing a canyon in the middle.

Chu Yuan had just arrived at the foot of the mountain and had not yet climbed up the mountain when more than a dozen martial artists with weapons in their hands walked down the mountain and blocked Chu Yuan's way.

"Who are you, sir, and why are you here at Leigushan?"

The leader looked at Chu Yuan and said.

"I am Chu Yuan, the Qinglian Envoy of the Beggars' Sect, and I would like to see Mr. Congbian."

Chu Yuan said to the leader.

"Who are you, sir, and why are you here at Leigushan?"

The leader continued to ask Chu Yuan.

Chu Yuan: ...

Chu Yuan said it again, and seeing that the other party was still asking him the same question over and over again, he understood it all at once.

Ok!

This is a deaf person.

Look at the others behind him who were looking at the person who was speaking, babbling to themselves but unable to say anything.

Chu Yuan was certain that these people were all dumb.

He is both deaf and mute, no wonder they are called the Deaf-Mute Sect.

"Chu Yuan, the Green Lotus Envoy of the Beggars' Sect, has come to pay his respects to Mr. Congbian." Chu Yuan did not waste any more time and poured his inner strength into his voice. He used the Shaolin Temple's "Lion's Roar" technique, supplemented by the music pronunciation method he had learned from Ren Yingying, to form his own unique method of sound skills.

The sound was like a thunder, ringing in Leigushan Mountain and echoing continuously.

Not only did it alarm the people of the "deaf and dumb sect" in Leigushan Mountain, it also startled the flocks of birds that were flapping their wings in the mountains and forests.

Not long after, an unkempt old man wearing cloth clothes and cloth shoes, with a thin and dry figure and gray hair, walked down from Leigushan Mountain. He was followed by dozens of disciples.

Behind him, before the ordinary disciples, stood eight people of different heights and wearing different clothes, including cloth and fancy clothes.

Chu Yuan saw that the thin and skinny old man was Mr. Congbian, the leader of the Deaf and Mute Sect.

As for the eight people behind him, they should be the eight disciples accepted by Su Xinghe, who are known as the "Eight Friends of Hangu" in the martial arts world.

After looking at Chu Yuan from a distance, the old man just bowed and said nothing.

Instead, a man in his fifties, wearing a gray-white long gown and a cloth scarf, with a refined temperament and a half-black and half-white beard, stood up and bowed, saying, "Xue Muhua, a disciple of Su Xinghe, the head of the Deaf-Mute Sect, greets the Azure Lotus Envoy Chu Young Hero."

Chu Yuan looked at this person, and then he remembered that this person should be called "Yanwang Enemy".

He should have gathered a group of martial arts masters to deal with Qiao Feng at Juxian Manor and save Azhu who was seriously injured by the Shaolin monks.

However, because of his own appearance in the apricot forest, he changed the situation of Qiao Feng being wronged.

In addition, he used the "Shen Zhao Jing" to cure Azhu, so Qiao Feng didn't need to ask Xue Muhua for help. He didn't expect that the other party would appear here.

However, as the other party is Su Xinghe's disciple, he should indeed appear here.

Chu Yuan ignored him, but looked at Su Xinghe and said, "Mr. Su, I'm sorry to bother you."

A flash of anger flashed in Xue Muhua's eyes. He didn't expect Chu Yuan to be so rude at such a young age. However, Xue Muhua thought of Chu Yuan's identity and quickly suppressed his anger and smiled:

"Young Master Chu, we have just sent invitations to all heroes in the world in accordance with our master's orders. We plan to invite heroes from all factions to gather at Leigu Mountain on the eighth day of the second lunar month to crack the Zhenlong chess game left by our master. Anyone who can crack the game will become the successor of our master. Now there is still nearly a year to go before the banquet. Why did Young Master Chu come early?"

Another man who was wearing a green shirt and was slightly older than Xue Muhua, bowed and said, "Please forgive me, Young Master Chu. Our master has been deaf and dumb for many years and cannot entertain us personally. We have to come forward. Please don't blame us, Young Master Chu."

He is Kang Guangling, the eldest of the Eight Friends of Hangu, and also Su Xinghe's first disciple.

Chu Yuan looked at the deaf-mute disciples behind Su Xinghe, then shifted his gaze to Su Xinghe and said, "It can be seen that the other members of this deaf-mute sect are truly deaf-mute, only Mr. Su is pretending to be deaf-mute."

"Young Master Chu, we respect you as the Green Lotus Emissary of the Beggars' Sect, so we treat you with great courtesy. Don't push your luck."

Chu Yuan's words angered the Eight Friends of Hangu, and Kang Guangling said angrily.

At the same time, they were also shocked. They didn't know how Chu Yuan knew that their master Su Xinghe pretended to be deaf and dumb in order to avoid powerful enemies.

Su Xinghe, the master of the eight people, stood there, looking at Chu Yuan quietly.

Speaking of which, although the young hero Chu Yuan in front of him is young, he is much younger than Murong Fu and Qiao Feng.

However, the other party's reputation in the martial arts world is not to be underestimated, and there is even a sign that he is more famous than Qiao Feng and Murong Fu.

Not to mention the well-known things that people in the martial arts world know about, such as how he teamed up with his master Ma Dayuan to thwart the conspiracy of the vicious woman Kang Min, killed more than a hundred warriors of the Yipintang of Western Xia, and scared off the four evil men.

Although Chu Yuan is still young, the reason why he is more famous than Qiao Feng and Murong Fu is because of the romantic affairs between him and his master's wife Kang Min. These affairs are now all over the world and are about to be known to everyone.

The lower classes of the martial arts world love to spread such stories in private.

Especially the identities of the two as apprentice and master's wife accelerated the spread of the news.

This reminded Su Xinghe of someone!

Traitor Ding Chunqiu!
And his "master" Wuyazi who faked his death!

Master's wife Li Qiushui also had an affair with Ding Chunqiu.

However, unlike Chu Yuan who saved his master's life, resolutely broke with the vicious woman Kang Min, and thwarted her plot to rebel, Ding Chunqiu conspired with the vicious woman Li Qiushui to murder his master and knocked him off a cliff. He had absolutely no shame at all.

After a long while, Su Xinghe sighed and said in an old voice, "How did Young Master Chu know that I was pretending to be deaf and dumb?"

Looking at Chu Yuan's calm expression, he knew that Chu Yuan was not testing him, but was certain that he was pretending to be deaf and dumb.

Chu Yuan said: "If Mr. Su is really deaf and dumb, how could he have founded the Deaf and Mute Sect and become the head of the sect?"

Su Xinghe was silent for a moment and said, "That's right."

He knew that his actions would be exposed one day, but he didn't expect to be discovered so quickly.

Chu Yuan said: "Isn't it Mr. Su's idea to send invitations to heroes all over the world?"

Su Xinghe nodded and said, "Yes, that's what I meant. My master Wuyazi once left behind a game of Zhenlong chess, saying that if you can break the game, you will inherit my master's martial arts."

Chu Yuan said: "I have been in Shaolin Temple before and have not returned to the Beggars' Sect, so I missed the invitation sent by Mr. Su."

Although he doesn't dare to call himself a hero, but with his reputation in the martial arts world, he is now a young master who ranks among the best in the entire Song Dynasty martial arts world.

If Su Xinghe sends out invitations, he will definitely not miss his.

Su Xinghe said: "I see."

At the same time, he was somewhat confused as to what Chu Yuan, as the Green Lotus Messenger of the Beggars' Sect, was doing in the Shaolin Temple.

He had heard before that this young man, whose martial arts skills were not inferior to those of "Qiao Feng of the North" and "Murong of the South", had appeared in Jiangnan.

"I wonder if Master Su is still alive. I came here to pay my respects to Master Wuyazi!"

Chu Yuan said again.

Chu Yuan's next words stirred up a thousand waves.

As soon as Chu Yuan finished speaking, Su Xinghe's eyes immediately turned cold.

"Young Master Chu, where did you hear this news? My master, Wuyazi, has passed away many years ago. Young Master Chu, you'd better not believe in the rumors."

Su Xinghe warned Chu Yuan.

As soon as he finished speaking, the eight disciples behind him and the group of ordinary disciples from the Deaf and Mute Sect immediately understood and surrounded Chu Yuan.

No matter where Chu Yuan learned the news that his master Wuyazi was not dead, he could not let Chu Yuan leave today, because if this news got out.

Not only would it bring about revenge from the traitor Ding Chunqiu, it might also attract the vicious woman who used to be his master's wife.

Ding Chunqiu and his Xingxiu Sect, he and his disciples are not even enough, not to mention the vicious woman who is now the Queen of Western Xia and holds a high position of power.

Seeing that he was surrounded by a group of deaf-mute disciples from the Deaf-mute Sect, Chu Yuan shook his head and said, "Mr. Su is planning to keep me here, but I'm afraid it won't work with Mr. Su and your disciples."

These deaf-mute disciples were originally a group of disabled people, and their martial arts skills were mediocre.

They were not even as good as the warriors from the Yipintang of Western Xia in the apricot forest that day.

As for the "Eight Friends of Hangu"...

Although these people have their own skills, their martial arts skills are not even as good as those of the Beggars' Sect elders.

Although Su Xinghe's martial arts are good, in Chu Yuan's opinion, he is at most comparable to Duan Yanqing, one of the four evil men.

Su Xinghe did not respond to Chu Yuan's words and said, "Young Master Chu, since you have come to Leigu Mountain, please stay here for a while. When all the heroes in the world gather together and solve the Zhenlong chess game left by our master, I will let you go."

He had already made up his mind to take down Chu Yuan no matter what.

The Zhenlong chess game is about to begin, and Chu Yuan must not be allowed to ruin his master's plan to find a successor.

"You are no match for me!"

Chu Yuan shook his head.

His expression was calm, as if he was just stating a fact.

In fact, after reading all the secret books in the world in the Langhuan Jade Cave, his martial arts had made another breakthrough. Now, in the whole world, there are only a few people who can be his opponent, and Su Xinghe is definitely not one of them.

"Do it!"

Kang Guangling gave an order.

Then the Eight Friends of Hangu, and dozens of deaf-mute disciples who came down the mountain with Su Xinghe, attacked Chu Yuan together.

Chu Yuan shook his head. He performed the "Nine Heavens Gangqi" and activated the protective qi. Under the watchful eyes of everyone, he walked towards Leigushan Mountain step by step.

　ps: I was delayed yesterday by something and forgot to send in the leave application. I will try to make it up later.
