Chapter 93 The old leader is your biological father!

"I originally wanted to give these concubines to you, so that they would have someone to rely on. Since you don't want them, forget it."

Seeing Chu Yuan say this, Dongfang Bubai said disappointedly.

"Brother Dongfang, among your concubines, are there two named Shishi and Xue Qianxun?"

An idea suddenly occurred to Chu Yuan, and he suddenly asked Dongfang Bubai.

Because he thought of a classic martial arts movie related to The Smiling, Proud Wanderer that he had seen before traveling through time.

The Dongfang Bubai in the story is very beautiful and heroic, just like the Dongfang Bubai in front of us.

However, the plot of that movie was rather outrageous, as Dongfang Bubai actually fell in love with Linghu Chong.

Shishi and Xue Qianxun are Dongfang Bubai's concubines.

"That's not the case. Among my concubines, there are no ones named Shishi and Xue Qianxun. How did Brother Chu get the news?"

Dongfang Bubai asked curiously.

"It's fine if you don't."

Chu Yuan smiled.

He still thought that this world was still the world of the Smiling, Proud Wanderer movie!

Ren Yingying, who was sitting next to him, also looked at Chu Yuan with strange eyes, with a look of inquiry on her face.

Chu Yuan is very mysterious, and no one knows where he gets so much information from!
Just like she tried to win over Chu Yuan before, but Chu Yuan guessed her plan and purpose in just a few words.

But this time, Chu Yuan's information seemed to be wrong.

From this point of view, Chu Yuan’s information is not 100% correct.

"Brother Dongfang, I heard a story about you from a storyteller. It was quite interesting. I almost believed it to be true. I even thought the characters in the story were real."

Chu Yuan said.

"Brother Chu, tell me about this story with me as the protagonist. What is it about?"

When Dongfang Bubai heard this, a look of interest appeared on his face.

"This story is told from the perspectives of Brother Dongfang and our other little brother Linghu Chong. When Linghu Chong went down the mountain with his fellow apprentices to do some work, he discovered that Brother Dongfang was colluding with the Japanese pirates to plot a rebellion..."

Chu Yuan told Dongfang Bubai some stories that he had read in his previous life, which were somewhat modified.

Chu Yuan is not very good at telling stories, but because the plot of this movie is attractive enough, Chu Yuan still remembers the general plot many years later, even after traveling through time, so it is quite attractive to tell it.

"Who is making up stories about me? They even gave me the identity of a Miao leader and a Miao sect to the Sun Moon Sect? In order to help the Miao people, I colluded with the Japanese pirates and even wanted to rebel against the Ming Dynasty!"

After listening to what Chu Yuan said, Dongfang Bubai didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

He is a real Han Chinese!

Not only is he a Han Chinese, most of the believers in the Sun and Moon Sect are genuine Han Chinese!

Moreover, no matter how powerful the Sun Moon Sect is, it is ultimately a martial arts sect.

When the world was not in chaos and the dynasty was not in its final days, how could the Sun and Moon Sect have the virtue or ability to rebel against the imperial court?

Even if he is the leader of a demon cult and has practiced the "Sunflower Manual", it is still the same.

"Furthermore, this person also communicated with the Japanese pirates. He was really unscrupulous in order to achieve his goal."

Then Dongfang Bubai said unhappily again.

He and Chu Yuan had killed Japanese pirates in Fuzhou Prefecture and knew how cruel they were, so this was the thing he was most dissatisfied with about what Chu Yuan said about Dongfang Bubai.

"As for giving my woman to someone who admires me, this is something I can do."

Dongfang Bubai continued.

In the eyes of others, in this story, Dongfang Bubai fell in love with Linghu Chong, but in Dongfang Bubai's own opinion, Dongfang Bubai only regarded Linghu Chong as a confidant.

Later, she was afraid that their close relationship would be broken after Linghu Chong learned of her identity as Dongfang Bubai, so she asked her concubine Shishi to pretend to be her and have a night of romance with Linghu Chong, just to make Linghu Chong remember her.

"Uncle Chu, who told this story? Apart from the huge changes to our respective identities and backgrounds, it does fit the current situation of the Divine Religion."

Ren Yingying said after hearing this story.

She even felt that the story was like a prediction of the future.

If her father was rescued, he would definitely take revenge on his uncle Dongfang Bubai.

In this story, she, her father, Xiang Wentian, and Linghu Chong who had learned the Dugu Nine Swords, four masters joined forces to attack the Black Wood Cliff. Only after Dongfang Bubai showed mercy to Linghu Chong did they kill Dongfang Bubai in front of her.

But that was when Chu Yuan didn't help. If Chu Yuan helped...

There is no hope at all.

One Invincible Easterner is enough to make people despair.

"Compared to me, this Dongfang Bubai is more like Dongfang Bubai than I am."

Dongfang Bubai said with a complicated expression.

Although the Dongfang Bubai described by Chu Yuan was too naive, overestimated his own capabilities, and colluded with Japanese pirates, he wanted to rely on the followers of the Sun and Moon Sect to rebel against the court and become the emperor himself. This was more glorious than himself who spent all day hiding on the Black Wood Cliff embroidering and practicing martial arts.

He was somewhat envious of Dongfang Bubai, but he would not do the same because it was too tiring.

"Brother Dongfang, you are wrong. This is only the Dongfang Bubai in the story. In fact, Brother Dongfang is the real Dongfang Bubai."

Chu Yuan smiled.

"Right."

Dongfang Bubai nodded.

At least he has Chu Yuan as his confidant, which makes him much luckier than Dongfang Bubai in the story.

The Dongfang Bubai in the storybook died at the hands of Linghu Chong, Dongfang Bubai's trusted confidant.

"Wherever there are people, there will be grudges. Where there are grudges, there will be the Jianghu. Where there are people, there will be the Jianghu. People are the Jianghu..."

And Ren Yingying kept repeating a sentence from Chu Yuan's storybook.

The more she tasted it, the tastier it tasted. This one sentence summed up the whole world of martial arts.

She suspected that Chu Yuan had written this story himself.

It was also a disguised way of comforting her about what would happen in the future after her father was rescued.

In this story, Dongfang Bubai is a replica of her father. She is bloodthirsty, cruel, and extremely ambitious. She even wants to rebel and become emperor herself.

In comparison, Dongfang Bubai, who raised her, had no desires or requests at all.

She spent all day hiding in the mountains behind Blackwood Cliff practicing martial arts and embroidery, and distributed all the power in the sect to a group of saintly elders.

As for being as cruel as Dongfang Bubai in the story, killing people at will, that is out of the question.

However, because he was afraid of making it too obvious, he adapted the identities and backgrounds of some people and things in the Sun Moon Sect, and cleverly arranged for a group of Huashan disciples headed by Linghu Chong, who wanted to quit the world, to take the opportunity to participate in a series of major changes within the Sun Moon Sect.

"Uncle Chu, the song 'Swordsman' in this story is very interesting. Can you teach me how to play it?"

Ren Yingying said.

She is proficient in music and can play the piano and the flute.

I think this song "Swordsman" is really interesting.

In the story, the Huashan Sect disciples and the Shenjiao believers around her all love to play this song.

Unfortunately, it seems that these people all had a bad ending.

All the Huashan Sect disciples who wanted to quit the underworld died at the hands of Dongfang Bubai who wanted to rebel, even her good sister, Lan Fenghuang.

"can."

Chu Yuan nodded.

The song "Swordsman" is the song "A Laugh in the Ocean" from the previous life.

Judging from the time, after Liu Zhengfeng and Qu Yang retired from the martial arts world, they should also compose a song called "Swordsman Song".

However, during this period of time, the world has changed dramatically.

After Yue Buqun succeeded as the leader of the Five Mountains Alliance, he forcibly merged the Five Mountains Sword Sects into the Five Mountains Sect.

I don’t know if Liu Zhengfeng and Qu Yang have the time and leisure to compose music.

"But I can't play any music, I can only hum a few lines. When I have time, I will teach you what I know, Miss Ren."

Chu Yuan said.

"Thank you, Uncle Chu."

Thanks Ren Yingying.

It was because of this song "Swordsman" that she suspected that this story was made up by Chu Yuan.

Generally, the lyrics and music of storytellers' stories are quoted from existing ones.

But she had never heard this song "Swordsman" from anyone else.

It's really charming.

"Since this storyteller has arranged the story about me so well, I will not bother him."

The undefeated path of the East.

Although he died in the siege of four masters in the end in this story, he was undoubtedly the most outstanding person in this story.

In comparison, Linghu Chong, Ren Woxing and others all feel like supporting roles.

"Then he will definitely thank you, Brother Dongfang."

Chu Yuan smiled.

This storyteller was invented by him, and Dongfang Bubai couldn't find him even if he wanted to!

"Brother Dongfang, when are we heading to Jiangnan?"

Chu Yuan asked Dongfang Bubai.

Just now, I told Dongfang Bubai and Ren Yingying the story of the movie "Swordsman" which was just casual chat. The real business is to go to Jiangnan and solve Ren Woxing's problem.

"Brother Chu, you have never been to my Blackwood Cliff. Stay here for a few days. It won't be too late for you and Yingying to go to Jiangnan together."

Dongfang Bubai thought for a while and said.

"Brother Dongfang, aren't you going with us?"

Chu Yuan asked Dongfang Bubai.

"I won't go. After all, I am the one who imprisoned Yingying's father. If I go, there will definitely be twists and turns."

The undefeated path of the East.

"Before you go to Jiangnan, I will give you, Brother Chu, a token. If you show it to them, they will fully assist you."

The undefeated path of the East.

"Alright."

Chu Yuan nodded.

……

After the banquet.

Dongfang Bubai arranged a room for Chu Yuan.

Ren Yingying has her own residence on Heimu Cliff.

Chu Yuan settled down on the Black Wood Cliff and stayed there for ten days.

Because Chu Yuan was a distinguished guest of Dongfang Bubai, all the Sun and Moon Sect believers on the Black Wood Cliff were very respectful to Chu Yuan when they saw him.

During the few days Chu Yuan was on the Black Wood Cliff, he was invited by Dongfang Bubai to the attic where he lived to discuss martial arts.

Dongfang Bubai asked Chu Yuan for advice on practicing swordsmanship!

Chu Yuan is known as the Qingcheng Sword Immortal in the martial arts world, and he is most famous for his swordsmanship.

And ever since Dongfang Bubai got the "Bixie Sword Manual" from Chu Yuan, he has been trying to practice it over the years.

But he used to be good at playing with needles, so when he suddenly played with swords, he was out of his comfort zone. Dongfang Bubai made good progress in practicing the "Sword Manual of Exorcism", but after practicing for so many years, there were still many things he didn't understand.

It just so happened that Chu Yuan had mastered the "Sunflower Manual" and had the internal strength of the "Sunflower Manual". Since the "Bixie Sword Manual" and the "Sunflower Manual" came from the same source, he could also try to practice the "Bixie Sword Manual". The two discussed with each other.

In addition to the "Bixie Sword Manual", they will also dabble in Fuso swordsmanship.

Just like the "Catalogue of Katori Shinto" that was obtained before, it had already been translated by Dongfang Bubai.

The last time Dongfang Bubai went to Qingcheng Mountain to deliver a sword to Chu Yuan, he also gave Chu Yuan a copy, but Chu Yuan never had time to read it.

On the contrary, Dongfang Bubai had more free time and studied the "Catalogue of Katori Shinto". He felt that there were some things that could be learned from the Fuso Taoism.

Ren Yingying would also come to Chu Yuan from time to time to discuss the song "Swordsman" sung by Chu Yuan.

Chu Yuan hums!

She made the song "Swordsman" into a musical score.

But this cannot be accomplished in a short period of time, it will take at least one month.

The years do not live, the seasons flow.

Ten days passed quickly.

This morning.

On the black wood cliff.

A thin layer of mist rose.

The whole mountain is shrouded in a layer of veil-like mist, appearing and disappearing, like a fairyland.

Dongfang Bubai, dressed in red, saw Chu Yuan and Ren Yingying off at the foot of the Black Wood Cliff. On the mountain path stood two rows of Sun and Moon Sect followers holding large flags.

"Brother Chu, this is my personal token, representing my identity as the leader of the Sun Moon Sect. If you show it to the Four Jiangnan Friends, they will know that you are representing me, and they will do whatever you ask them to do."

Dongfang Bubai held a palm-sized black iron diamond-shaped token in his hand with the two small words "Dongfang" written in the middle of the token. He handed it to Chu Yuan.

Chu Yuan took the token and felt it was cold to the touch. He held it in front of his eyes and looked at it for a moment before saying to Dongfang Bubai, "The material is good. It's actually iron."

Dongfang Bubai said, "This is made of black iron, and is called the Sun and Moon Black Iron Token. It represents the identity of the leader of the Sun and Moon Sect. Each generation of leaders only has one. Take it."

Chu Yuan asked, "Do you need to return this item after you have used it?"

Dongfang Bubai said: "It's fine whether you return it or not, if you want it, just take it!"

The Sun-Moon Black Iron Token is the identity token of the leader. It should not be given to others, not to mention that this person is a righteous person. However, Ren Yingying was standing next to him and was no longer surprised.

Many of her uncle Dongfang's rules were aimed at other people, and Chu Yuan was not among them.

But Chu Yuan is the same, he said it several times himself.

The reason why he agreed to her trip to Zhili and Jiangnan, traveling thousands of miles to bring her father Ren Woxing to the mountains to become a Taoist priest, was also for the sake of Dongfang Bubai's face. Otherwise, he would not have bothered to take care of this matter.

"Take care, brother Dongfang!"

"Brother Chu, have a nice trip."

After climbing onto the horse brought by the followers of the Divine Religion, Chu Yuan bowed to them. Then, Chu Yuan and Ren Yingying rode their horses together towards the south of the Yangtze River.

Dongfang Bubai was like a statue, watching Chu Yuan and Ren Yingying disappear in the morning mist.

It was not until Chu Yuan and the others had been walking for a quarter of an hour that they turned around and walked towards the Black Wood Cliff.

……

Plum Manor.

Located on the edge of West Lake.

Chu Yuan had never been to Hangzhou before.

I did go to West Lake in Hangzhou once when I was traveling in my previous life.

At that time, this place was called Hangzhou Prefecture, under the jurisdiction of Zhejiang Provincial Government, and West Lake was under the jurisdiction of Qiantang County.

When Chu Yuan and Ren Yingying arrived at West Lake, it was already September, the golden autumn, and winter was about to begin.

The weather is getting colder, and the trees by the lake are all withered and yellow as far as the eye can see.

Chu Yuan and Ren Yingying changed horses several times along the way. After arriving in Qiantang County, they left the horses in an inn and asked the waiter to take care of them.

Then they came to the West Lake.

"Miss!"

However, before going to Meizhuang, Ren Yingying took Chu Yuan to meet someone at the West Lake.

The man was dressed in white and had a gaunt face. He had a sparse, long, white beard hanging down to his chest and was carrying a black bag on his back. He saluted Ren Yingying.

"Uncle Xiang!"

Ren Yingying said to this person.

"Let me introduce you to Uncle Zuo. This is Qingcheng Sword Immortal Chu Yuan."

Seeing Xiang Wentian looking at Chu Yuan in his Taoist robe, Ren Yingying introduced him to him.

"Uncle Chu, this is Xiang Wentian, the Left Envoy."

Ren Yingying introduced this person's identity to Chu Yuan.

"So he is the Left Envoy of the Divine Religion."

"I have heard of you for a long time. I have seen the Qingcheng Sword Immortal. I did not expect that the famous Qingcheng Sword Immortal would look so young and handsome. He can be described as an immortal."

Xiang Zuoshi and Chu Yuan greeted each other.

"Miss Ren, have you told Envoy Xiang Zuo about our agreement?"

Chu Yuan asked Ren Yingying.

"No, Xiang Zuoshi is my father's confidant. I'm afraid that if I tell him about this, he won't be able to accept it."

Ren Yingying smiled bitterly.

"Okay, it doesn't matter if you don't tell him. Anyway, he will know it in the future."

Chu Yuan doesn't care about the Tao.

Xiang Wentian, who was standing next to him, had a look of confusion and bewilderment on his face.

He just found out that his leader was most likely imprisoned in the Meizhuang dungeon on the shore of West Lake.

He tried twice to sneak in but failed. Fearing to alert the enemy, he sent a message to his old leader's daughter Ren Yingying to find a way.

Unexpectedly, two months later, the young lady sent him a message, saying that she had come to Jiangnan in person and brought an assistant with her.

He didn't expect that the helper brought by his young lady was actually the Qingcheng Sword Immortal.

It’s just a rumor in the martial arts world that this Qingcheng Sword Immortal is a close friend of the traitor Dongfang Bubai, isn’t he?

Why are you here with your young lady to rescue the old leader?

"Could it be that my young lady made some sacrifices to save the old leader and won over this Qingcheng Sword Immortal from Dongfang Bubai?"

Xiang Wentian guessed in his heart.

"This Qingcheng Sword Immortal is a top expert on the righteous side. He is not very old and looks very handsome. If we can really win him over, even if our young lady makes a small sacrifice, it is not impossible."

Xiang Wentian was weighing the options in his mind.

"Let's go, let's go directly to Meizhuang."

Chu Yuan said to Xiang Wentian and Ren Yingying.

Although the scenery of West Lake is indeed beautiful, it is not too late to appreciate it after resolving the trouble with Ren Woxing.

Chu Yuan glanced at the West Lake behind him. The beauty of the West Lake in this era was more natural, without as many houses and buildings as in later generations.

As the saying goes, there are vast expanses of smoke and water, hundreds of hectares of wind ponds, and ten miles of lotus fragrance.

"Miss and Taoist Priest Chu, follow me."

Xiang Wentian led the way in front.

After walking along two streets around the West Lake, they soon arrived at a large manor located on the shore of the West Lake.

There is a plaque on the gate of the manor with the words "Mei Zhuang" inscribed on it.

"Miss, Taoist Priest Chu, let's disguise our identities first. The four friends from Jiangnan who live here like music, chess, calligraphy, and painting, and I just happened to have collected some of these treasures..."

Xiang Wentian, who was standing at the gate of Meizhuang, said to Chu Yuan and Ren Yingying.

"No need, we can just go up and knock on the door."

Chu Yuan said.

After saying that, Chu Yuan walked to the door and knocked on the door lightly.

Xiang Wentian was stunned for a moment, then thought of Chu Yuan's identity and martial arts, and then laughed at himself. The other party's martial arts were amazing, so it was reasonable for him not to adopt his plan.

"Miss, how did you invite this person here? In order to save the old leader, it is understandable that you have to make some sacrifices..."

Then Xiang Wentian said to Ren Yingying.

Ren Yingying looked at Xiang Wentian with a gossipy look on her face.

Ren Yingying immediately understood what Xiang Wentian meant and said angrily, "Uncle Xiang, you misunderstood!"

She originally wanted to use her beauty to win over the other party, and it just so happened that her sister Lan Fenghuang was obsessed with this Qingcheng Sword Immortal, so she killed two birds with one stone.

Who knew that the other party saw through her plan at a glance and even suggested taking her father to Qingcheng Mountain to become a Taoist priest.

At that time, she was in a difficult situation and had no choice but to agree.

Xiang Wentian looked at Ren Yingying's expression and didn't think she was lying, so he was stunned.

"Could it be that I guessed wrong?"

Xiang Wentian said in his heart.

At this moment, after Chu Yuan went forward and knocked on the door, a servant in Mei Manor had already opened the gate. Chu Yuan took out something like a token from his arms and handed it to the servant. The servant said that he would go and report later.

"Why does it look like the Sun and Moon Black Iron Order of my sect leader?"

Xiang Wentian rubbed his eyes.

Unfortunately, the servant had already gone in, and he didn't have the chance to take another look to confirm.

"welcome!"

"welcome!"

"Welcome the messenger!"

"Welcome everyone to Plum Manor!"

Not long after, the four friends from Jiangnan, Huang Zhonggong, Heibaizi, Tu Biweng and Danqingsheng, who were the owners of Plum Manor, came out to greet them. They looked extremely respectful and welcomed Chu Yuan and the other two into Plum Manor.

Along the way, you can see willow-covered bridges and green curtains.

The furnishings in the house are extremely exquisite.

Most of the houses are built near mountains and water, with beautiful scenery, numerous and exquisite lake rock rockeries, and waterside pavilions can also be seen.

Xiang Wentian was confused the whole way. He had already prepared to fight back, but he didn't expect to be welcomed in by the Four Friends of Jiangnan.

"Master Chu, the leader has already told us the reason. Now that you have taken out the leader's black iron token, you can just tell us what you want to do."

He walked into a pavilion adjacent to a pond, invited Chu Yuan, Xiang Wentian and Ren Yingying to sit down, and ordered the servants to serve tea. Then, Huang Zhonggong, one of the Four Friends of Jiangnan, stood up and returned the black iron token to Chu Yuan.

"Dongfang Bubai's Black Iron Token!"

Xiang Wentian stood up suddenly.

"Miss, you have joined Dongfang Bubai? The old leader is your biological father!"

A gleam of light flashed in his eyes, and he looked at Ren Yingying and said.

　ps: Please give me your recommendation votes, please brothers, there are really few recommendation votes this week!
