Lao Tzu is Ji Gong

Li Xiuyuan coldly shouted, "Get out!"

After saying that, he waved his right hand, and only then did the dozens of people realize that there was an extra person in the boat at some point.

Then an irresistible force struck, and they all fell to the ground. At that moment, they discovered that the man in black had entered the boss's room.

boom!

Li Xiuyuan kicked the door open and saw a woman inside, desperately resisting a burly man whose broadsword had pierced her heart. The girl behind her was protected by the woman and thus escaped harassment.

The sudden noise startled the man awake. He turned around and shouted angrily, "Boy, this is not a place for you!"

As he spoke, he brought down the steel knife in his hand.

Upon seeing this, Li Xiuyuan's lips curled up into a smirk, and he chuckled, "Die!"

These words were like the arrival of a demon; the man was instantly sent flying, his body slamming through the ship's window and crashing onto the surface of the Yangtze River.

Li Xiuyuan focused his gaze on the girl, only to hear her sobbing: "Mother, wake up! Father is dead, don't abandon me."

The girl was dressed in white, with long hair draped over her shoulders and a gold ribbon tied in her hair. She was only fifteen or sixteen years old, with skin as white as snow, incomparably beautiful, and stunningly gorgeous. Because her face was covered in tears, she looked even more pitiful, which made people feel a pang of pity.

The young woman's face resembled that of a young girl, and her skin was well-maintained; the two looked like sisters. She said, "Aheng, your mother is leaving! You must live well from now on."

After she finished speaking, her head tilted to the side, clearly indicating that she had bled to death.

"mother……"

The sound of the girl crying arose, which stirred up a sense of pity in everyone's hearts. Li Xiuyuan had seen many beautiful women, and this girl's appearance was no less than that of Nie Xiaoqian.

At this moment, a man in blue appeared on the deck. He had rushed over as soon as he saw the disaster on the ship. However, Li Xiuyuan was even faster. When he saw the people lying on the ground in the cabin, he took a deep breath.

The scholar in blue robes looked on with surprise and uncertainty. He was a martial arts expert with a small reputation in the martial arts world, but such a bizarre method of killing was still shocking. The dead person seemed to still be asleep.

Hearing the intermittent sobbing, the man in blue walked toward the source of the sound and finally came to stand before the two people.

Li Xiuyuan noticed the person behind him, turned around, and said calmly, "Who are you?"

As he spoke, his icy gaze was like a sharp sword, sending chills down one's spine.

The scholar in blue robes repeatedly said, "It's a misunderstanding. I was just passing by when I saw women crying on the boat, and there was a bloody smell. I wanted to come and help, but you took care of it."

As he spoke, he waved his hand, indicating that even someone as proud and aloof as him was unwilling to provoke this person.

Just as the man in blue was rushing over, he saw the black shadow fly past, clearly recognizing Li Xiuyuan as the person in question.

Li Xiuyuan nodded upon hearing this. He knew in his heart that this person was not lying, and said calmly, "Oh, it's nothing. I have dealt with the few bandits, but unfortunately, I arrived too late."

If he had arrived sooner, these people might not have died.

Although Li Xiuyuan had a way to save them, there was no need for him to do so.

Chapter 120 Young Huang Yaoshi

After all, these people are not anyone close to Li Xiuyuan, and it's impossible for him to spend so much effort to save each of them.

The man in blue nodded. When his gaze swept over the girl, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes. This girl was like a fairy descending to earth, truly captivating him.

Ah!

Suddenly, the man in blue sensed a murderous intent looming over him. He quickly dismissed his thoughts and bowed, saying, "I am Huang Yaoshi. May I ask who you are?"

As he spoke, a hint of curiosity crossed his eyes; how come he had never heard of such a person before?

Huang Yaoshi's old face flushed slightly. He knew that he had lost his composure just now. Moreover, the young girl had just lost her family and people, and it was indeed not good for him to show such an expression.

what!

Huang Yaoshi.

Li Xiuyuan was startled, never expecting to encounter Huang Yaoshi in his younger days under these circumstances.

Huang Yaoshi came from a scholarly family. His ancestors made great contributions during the reign of Emperor Taizu and were ennobled as marquises and dukes, serving as high-ranking officials in successive dynasties.

Huang Yaoshi's grandfather served as an imperial censor during the Shaoxing era of Emperor Gaozong.

One year, the treacherous minister Qin Hui wrongly accused the loyal minister Yue Fei. Huang Yaoshi's grandfather repeatedly submitted memorials to the emperor to plead Yue Fei's case. The emperor and Qin Hui were furious and not only refused to grant the request, but also demoted him.

Huang Yaoshi's grandfather, a loyal minister, loudly appealed outside the court, urging officials and common people to rise up and protect Yue Fei. Qin Hui then had Huang Yaoshi's grandfather killed, and his family members were exiled to Yunnan.

Huang Yaoshi was born in Lijiang, Yunnan. He read many books and mastered martial arts from a young age. He cursed the emperor and said he wanted to overthrow the Song Dynasty. He was determined to kill the emperor and the court officials to avenge his grandfather and father-in-law.

By then, Qin Hui had already died, and Emperor Gaozong was old and senile.

Huang Yaoshi's father taught him the sage's way of loyalty to the emperor and serving one's parents, but Huang Yaoshi was not convinced and kept arguing with his father. Everyone in the family said he was unfilial, and later his father got angry and kicked him out of the house.

He returned to Zhejiang West Road, not only refusing to take the imperial examinations, but also destroying the Minglun Hall in Qingyuan Prefecture and posting large notices in the palace and outside the offices of the prime minister and the minister of war.

They posted a large notice outside the Confucius Mansion in Quzhou, which had been moved south, criticizing the saints and virtuous, condemning the evil policies of the court, and saying that they should plan a northern expedition to recover their homeland.

The imperial court dispatched hundreds of men to capture him day and night, but by then Huang Yaoshi's martial arts skills were already very high, so how could they possibly capture him?

Thus, Huang Yaoshi's name became very famous in the martial arts world. Because he was unscrupulous, slanderous, and defamatory of the imperial court, he spoke the words that ordinary people wanted to say but dared not say. As a result, he earned the title of "Evil and Strange Hero" in the martial arts world.

This person is unconventional, arrogant, and unruly. Moreover, he is proficient in music, chess, calligraphy, and painting, and is also knowledgeable and skilled in the Five Elements, Eight Trigrams, Qimen Dunjia, and even agriculture, water conservancy, economics, and military strategy. He can be described as a polymath.

Although he was an extraordinary figure in the secular world, Li Xiuyuan didn't take him seriously. No wonder this guy showed other thoughts towards Aheng; it turns out they've hit it off.

If Li Xiuyuan is not mistaken, this Aheng is Feng Heng, Huang Rong's mother in the original novel, and because of his arrival, the two of them missed a good opportunity.

Li Xiuyuan replied calmly, "Hmm! I am Wutian, you'd better remember that."

As he spoke, he looked at Feng Heng and said calmly, "Girl, the dead cannot be brought back to life. For the sake of your parents, you must live well."

Upon hearing this, Feng Heng looked up. The man was a young man in black, with shiny black hair, sharply angled eyebrows, and a complexion like wheat. He was handsome.

Feng Heng said tearfully, "Thank you so much for saving me, my benefactor! I am deeply grateful!"

She knew in her heart that crying wouldn't help, but she was still very sad.

Upon hearing this, Li Xiuyuan smiled and said calmly, "It's alright. It's our chivalrous nature to help those in need! It's just a pity we're a step too late."

As he spoke, he helped Feng Heng up.

In an era where men and women were not supposed to have close contact, such contact would naturally cause gossip. Moreover, Feng Heng was a woman from an official family and valued her reputation above all else. After struggling for a moment, she did not let go, her face slightly flushed.

Li Xiuyuan said calmly, "Miss, please rest well! As for your father's body, leave it for now and bury it after we get ashore."

Before Feng Heng could react, he had already made the decision for her.

Feng Heng's face flushed slightly, but after hearing these caring words, her heart felt warm. Her parents had just passed away, and what she lacked most was care and concern.

Seeing this, Huang Yaoshi's eyes burned with jealousy. He wished he could take Feng Heng's place. Simply put, even if it was love at first sight, he still hadn't gotten involved with Feng Heng yet. How could he not be furious!

Li Xiuyuan said calmly, "Brother Huang, now that we're here, let's help Miss Feng deal with the corpses on the ship!"

Before he could react, she lifted him up and walked out.

Huang Yaoshi couldn't refuse at all. More importantly, this was something he should do, and it wouldn't be appropriate to refuse in front of Feng Heng.

The two men cleaned up the bodies on the boat, while the bodies of the Yangtze River bandits were sunk to the bottom of the river.

Li Xiuyuan didn't care about such things, and Huang Yaoshi was driven by him to do hard labor.

With a thought, Li Xiuyuan used his powerful magic to bring the boat to shore, and in no time they arrived at the shore.

boom!

Li Xiuyuan struck out with his palm, creating a crater tens of meters deep in the ground. He said calmly, "Hey, hurry up and throw those corpses down there and bury them!"

Huang Yaoshi was shocked to see this inhuman scene. Fortunately, he hadn't provoked the other party, otherwise he could have killed him with just that palm strike.

At the same time, Feng Heng also came out. Hearing such a commotion, she naturally couldn't remain indifferent.

Li Xiuyuan said calmly, "Miss Feng, please bury your father's and the others' bodies."

The bodies of Feng Heng's parents were buried in another place, and the two of them finished it in a short time.

As for the servant's body, it was placed in a pit.

Chapter 121 The Young Master in Green and His Bride

After a long while, Feng Heng erected two plaques on her parents' graves, with their names written on them.

After burying her parents, Feng Heng's cheeks were already covered with glistening tears.

Li Xiuyuan pondered for a moment and then asked, "Miss Feng, what are your plans?"

After saying that, he stared intently at her, wanting to know Feng Heng's choice. At this moment, she had no one to rely on. Her father had just retired and returned to his hometown, but unexpectedly, he encountered such a thing.

Feng Heng sobbed, "I...I don't know."

As she spoke, tears streamed down her face. She was just a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl who had grown up in her room and was very unfamiliar with the outside world.

The death of her parents had already left Feng Heng completely disoriented.

Upon seeing this, Li Xiuyuan advised, "Miss Feng, don't cry!"

Upon hearing this, Feng Heng's eyes welled up with tears, and her face flushed. She wiped away her tears with her sleeve.

"Ha ha!"

"Young lady, if you have nowhere to go, why not come home with me and become my bandit wife?"

As she spoke, a handsome young man in a blue robe and a crown walked out. He stood on the river, his feet not even sinking, and five will-o'-the-wisps surrounded him, forming the shape of the Five Elements.

A few days ago, she passed through Hangzhou and stumbled into a haunted house. After a fight, she not only emerged unscathed but also obtained five ghosts whose birth dates were compatible with hers to practice the Five Ghosts Moving Technique.

Unexpectedly, he had only just begun his cultivation when he encountered Li Xiuyuan and his group. After seeing Feng Heng's beauty, he couldn't help but flirt with her.
