Shi Potian travels through Linghu Chong

Chapter 81: The Best in Internal Strength
At that moment, Shi Potian and Master Dingjing packed their luggage, went down Mount Hua and headed for Kaifeng.

Both of them were people with profound internal skills. They rode their horses at full speed all the way, traveling day and night with almost no rest. They changed horses every time they arrived at a town, and soon they arrived in Kaifeng.

Shi Potian had come to Kaifeng with Yue Lingshan before, also wanting to seek medical treatment from Ping Yizhi, but neither of them had any experience in the martial arts world, and after searching for a long time, they were unable to find Ping Yizhi's whereabouts.

Master Dingjing is different.

Although the Hengshan School is located in Hengshan, Shanxi, nunneries across the country have long formed an alliance and use carrier pigeons to communicate with each other and help each other when encountering problems.

After Master Dingjing arrived in Kaifeng City, she immediately took Shi Potian to the local Baiyi Temple to visit the abbess, Master Xiaoyue.

Although Master Xiaoyue could only be considered a half-martial artist and her martial arts reputation was not outstanding, she had only heard of Ping Yizhi, the famous doctor who killed people, but did not know the specific situation.

However, Baiyi Temple has a history of more than a hundred years in Kaifeng Prefecture and has extensive connections.

After learning the purpose of Master Dingjing's visit, it took Master Xiaoyue less than half a day to find out that Ping Yizhi was living in seclusion in Chenbu Village, Zhuxian Town.

Master Dingjing and Shi Potian did not delay and immediately set off for Zhuxian Town. They asked the villagers where Chen Bu Village was. However, when they asked about Ping Yizhi, no one knew.

Master Dingjing thought about Ping Yizhi's strange temper, so she stopped asking people about Ping Yizhi and instead asked if there were any strange people or things nearby.

Soon I learned from a villager that there was a couple living in the valley outside the village. They never interacted with others except when buying rice and vegetables.

Master Dingjing was overjoyed and rode her horse immediately, following the direction indicated by the villagers. She followed the path into a valley, passed by a dozen large willow trees, and saw several tiled houses by the stream with various medicinal herbs drying in the yard.

Master Ding Jing knew that she had come to the right place. She and Shi Po Tian Xia came to the front of the house and said loudly, "Ding Jing from the Hengshan Sect wants to see the genius doctor Mr. Ping."

After waiting for a while, there was no movement in the house.

Master Dingjing said loudly again: "Dingjing of the Hengshan Sect wants to see the genius doctor Mr. Ping."

After waiting for a while, there was still no movement.

Master Dingjing frowned slightly and murmured, "Not at home?"

Shi Potian listened carefully and said, "Uncle Dingjing, there is someone in the room."

Before he finished speaking, the door creaked open, and an ugly, sickly, pale middle-aged woman walked out and said coldly, "There's someone in the room, but you don't answer. You should know that the host doesn't want to see you, but you still don't leave. Do you have to be a bad guest?"

If it were any other person in the martial arts world, even if their status and position were not as high as that of Master Dingjing, they would also be furious if they were scolded so mercilessly.

Even if you dare not get angry because you need a favor from others, you will definitely feel resentment in your heart.

Master Dingjing was different. She clasped her hands together and bowed, saying apologetically, "Madam, we did not mean to be such bad guests. We really had no choice. Please pass on a message to Mr. Ping on our behalf, asking him to see you."

The middle-aged woman snorted coldly and said, "You have no choice? Humph, how many of you who came here have no choice? You'd better leave quickly. Doctor Ping doesn't want to see you, and he won't help you treat your illness even if he does." She was about to close the door.

Master Dingjing was so anxious that she didn't care about being rude. She stretched out her hand to block the door and begged, "Donor lady, human life is at stake. Please pass on a message for us so that we can meet with Mr. Ping."

The middle-aged woman let out a "ha" and stopped closing the door. She turned sideways, revealing a large central hall hanging on the wall inside the house.

Written in a flamboyant style, it reads: "Heal one person, kill one person. Kill one person, heal one person. Healing people is as much as killing people. I would rather make money than lose money."

Master Dingjing was shocked.

She had long heard of Ping Yizhi's quirk of "saving one person and killing one person", but some rumors were true, and some were false. It was not until she saw these words hung on the wall that she realized it was all true.

The middle-aged woman said coldly: "You said human life is of paramount importance, which life is this?"

He glanced at Shi Potian, pointed at him and said, "You want Doctor Ping to help you save people, fine. But you kill him now."

Master Dingjing flatly refused: "No."

The middle-aged woman was not surprised and sneered: "I have given you the solution. If you don't want to do it, then there is nothing I can do."

Master Dingjing said, "Lady donor, this is a matter of our Hengshan Sect and has nothing to do with my nephew Linghu. If Mr. Ping is willing to save people, I am willing to sacrifice my own life to avoid violating Mr. Ping's rule of 'saving one person and killing one person'. Our Hengshan Sect will never cause trouble for Mr. Ping because of this."

The middle-aged woman was slightly startled, and looked at Master Dingjing from head to toe, as if she was examining something strange. Seeing that Master Dingjing's eyes were firm and sincere, and she did not seem to be pretending, she asked, "What does your desire to save that person have to do with you?"

Master Dingjing was delighted to hear the middle-aged woman's soft tone, and hurriedly said, "The man I want to save is a monk named Bujie. He can help my Hengshan Sect..."

Before she finished speaking, there was an obvious change of expression on the middle-aged woman's cold face for the first time, and she said in surprise: "Monk Bujie?!" The look she gave to Master Dingjing suddenly became strange.

Master Dingjing was stunned and realized that the middle-aged woman seemed to know Monk Bujie.

Before she could ask, she heard a man's surprised voice coming from inside the house: "The person you want me to save is that old bastard Bujie?"

A short and fat man with a broad body, a huge head, a rat-like mustache and a funny appearance walked out, shaking his head with a gloating smile on his face. It was the "famous murderous doctor" Ping Yizhi.

Master Dingjing could tell that although Ping Yizhi was mocking Monk Bujie, there was no malice in his tone. She was very surprised: "Master Bujie actually knows Ping Yizhi? Why didn't he mention this matter?"

Monk Bujie has been in and out of consciousness these days, and his unconscious time is longer than his conscious time.

Master Dingjing and the others were not sure whether they could invite Ping Yizhi, so they did not tell Monk Bujie that they were going down the mountain to invite Ping Yizhi.

However, if Monk Bujie wanted to tell them that he knew Ping Yizhi, he could have done so long ago.

But he never mentioned this matter from beginning to end.

Nun Dingjing put her hands together and said, "I, Nun Dingjing, have met Mr. Ping. Does Mr. Ping know Master Bujie?"

Ping Yizhi curled his lips and said disdainfully: "What a bullshit master! That old bastard drinks and eats meat, kills people and steals money, he does everything, he doesn't follow any rules and regulations, he's just a brainless monk!"

Ping Yizhi cursed harshly, but Master Dingjing was overjoyed when she heard it.

She had known Monk Bujie for a long time, but after Yilin's mother ran away, Monk Bujie placed Yilin in foster care in Hengshan. He went to the ends of the earth to look for Yilin's mother, and only showed up again at Liu Zhengfeng's retirement ceremony at the beginning of the year.

She had no idea what happened during that time.

It now seems that Bujie must have stayed in Kaifeng for a long time and had a close relationship with Ping Yizhi.

Ping Yizhi cursed for a long time before he asked with great interest, "Although the old bastard Bujie Monk has little knowledge, he has cultivated both internal and external skills and has great martial arts skills. Who beat him so badly?"

Master Dingjing shook her head and said, "Master Bujie was not injured, he was poisoned." She told the story of how Master Bujie was ambushed by a scoundrel from Qinghai with a poisoned dagger.

Ping Yizhi smiled even more happily, and said proudly to the middle-aged woman next to him: "Madam, I have long said that the old bastard Bujie monk only knows how to rely on his fat body to rush around, and sooner or later he will fall into the hands of others. Look, isn't this retribution coming?" Madam Ping asked coldly: "What are you going to do?"

Ping pointed and said, "With that old bastard's temper, he would rather die than ask me to save him. He is either unconscious now or he doesn't know that the two of them are looking for me. I'm going to save his life this time, and see if he has the nerve to act like a spoiled brat in front of me in the future."

Ping Yizhi immediately asked Master Dingjing about the poisoning of Monk Bujie.

Although the doctors that Yue Buqun had found during this period were unable to cure Monk Bujie, they were able to summarize the symptoms of the poison clearly.

Master Dingjing repeated the doctors' summaries.

"He was poisoned by the red snake."

Ping Yizhi thought for a moment, and a look of surprise suddenly appeared on his face. He said incredulously, "How could that old bastard live so long without dying?"

Master Dingjing didn't expect that Ping Yizhi could recognize the poison that Master Bujie was poisoned by just listening to her description. She was overjoyed and said hurriedly: "The poison is very fierce. As soon as Master Bujie was poisoned, the poison attacked his heart. He was able to hold on until now, all thanks to Nephew Linghu who used Zixia Qi to help him remove the poison and suppress the onset of the poison."

Ping Yizhi was even more surprised.

He knew better than anyone else how poisonous the Red Bo Xun snake was. He wanted to use his true Qi to remove the venom and suppress the attack, which required a very high level of internal strength!

Not only must it be deep and fine enough, but it must also be able to withstand any loss!
Any of these three is extremely difficult to achieve!

Ping Yizhi looked Shi Potian up and down, then looked at Master Ding Jing who was willing to exchange her life for another's, and sneered: "You two are kind-hearted." Suddenly he stretched out his hand to grab Shi Potian's wrist.

But, the next second, he felt his wrist tighten.

Shi Potian simply flipped his palm lightly, avoiding his sure grab, and instead grabbed his wrist with his other hand.

Ping Yizhi's face changed, he suddenly clenched his right fist, tensed his arms, and rushed his internal force towards Shi Potian's palm, trying to shake Shi Potian's palm away.

But, in just a split second, Shi Potian had already let go of his hand.

Stab! Stab!
Ping Yizhi had no time to retract his true energy, and the true energy burst out from his arm, tearing his sleeves into pieces, revealing a strong dark arm.

Shi Potian just subconsciously grabbed Ping Yizhi's wrist with his backhand, but when he came to his senses, he let go. Seeing Ping Yizhi's face flushed and he looked angry and embarrassed, he hurriedly said, "Senior Ping, I didn't mean it. How about you try again?" and handed over his wrist.

Master Dingjing stopped Shi Potian, her face turned cold and she asked, "Mr. Ping, what are you doing?" She had already begun to doubt whether Ping Yizhi in front of her was real or fake.

Madam Ping said coldly, "If you don't test this kid's ability, how can Doctor Ping know if you are lying? How can you be sure that the old bastard can be saved? If he can't be saved, wouldn't Doctor Ping's trip destroy his own reputation? If you don't want Doctor Ping to treat that old bastard, just leave."

Master Dingjing clasped her hands together and apologized: "I misunderstood."

But she was unwilling to take the risk of letting Ping put his finger on the Stone Breaking Heaven Meridian, and only said: "My dear nephew Linghu's internal strength is far superior to this poor nun. If even he can't satisfy Mr. Ping's requirements, then no one in the martial arts world can satisfy them."

Ping Yizhi sneered: "What a big tone!"

Shi Potian said quickly: "Senior Ping, Uncle Dingjing is not bragging. The old man said that my inner strength attainment is the best in the martial arts world today."

Ping pointed and said, "Old uncle? He said you are the best, so you are the best? You are really like a person who sits in a well and looks at the sky, but you don't know how high the sky is..."

Master Dingjing said dimly, "The old man that nephew Linghu was talking about is Senior Feng Qingyang."

Ping Yizhi's voice faltered, his eyes widened, and he stammered, "Feng, Feng Qingyang?! Didn't he commit suicide 25 years ago because he married... ahem, ahem?!"

The name Feng Qingyang has always been a sharp sword hanging over the heads of the Demon Cult. Even the former Demon Cult leader Ren Woxing was nicknamed "the one who runs away at the sight of the wind", let alone Ping Yizhi.

Even after more than 20 years, whenever he heard the name, his heart would tremble and his hands and feet would go weak.

Master Dingjing said, "Those are all rumors. Elder Feng just lived in seclusion in the back of Huashan Mountain and no longer cares about the affairs of the martial arts world."

Helping Feng Qingyang to clear his name was also the consensus reached by the Sword and Qi Sects.

As for whether others believe it or not, more than 20 years have passed and there is no evidence anymore. The worst that can happen is that everyone will just argue about it. It's just a matter of words anyway.

Ping Yizhi's eyes suddenly changed when he looked at Shi Potian.

He is a member of the Demonic Cult, but precisely because he is a member of the Demonic Cult, he knows more about the character of Master Dingjing.

Since Master Dingjing said so, Feng Qingyang must still be alive!

The three words "Feng Qingyang" are the biggest golden signboard in the martial arts world. He said that Shi Potian's internal strength attainments are the best in the martial arts world today. Even if he is not the first, he is definitely the second.

"Where is Monk Bujie now?" Ping Yizhi even improved his attitude towards Monk Bujie and no longer called him "old bastard" all the time.

Master Dingjing said, "Master Bujie is on the Jade Maiden Peak of Mount Huashan."

When Ping Yizhi heard this, he frowned. He originally thought that Monk Bujie would be in Kaifeng City, but never expected that he would be far away at the Jade Maiden Peak of Mount Huashan.

but……

Ping Yizhi looked at Shi Potian in front of him and hesitated again.

This is the internal strength that Feng Qingyang personally certified as the best in the martial arts world. If he could get his help, he might be able to snatch the treasure in Qianqiu Palace from his senior brother.

Ping Yizhi was in a dilemma when Madam Ping said, "It's too far. I won't go."

Ping Yizhi was startled and shouted, "Madam..."

Mrs. Ping looked at Ping coldly and said, "I say, it's too far. I won't go."

Ping Yizhi moved his mouth, wanting to refute, but finally wilted, waved his hand, and said, "You guys go, my wife said it's too far, I won't go."

　I found that Jin Yong really hates the Qingcheng Sect.

　　Not to mention The Smiling, Proud Wanderer.

　　In The Knight-errant, he rewarded the good and punished the evil and directly wiped out the entire Qingcheng Sect.

　　According to the setting of rewarding good and punishing evil, the Qingcheng Sect in The Knight-errant is definitely a villain...
