Travel through the heavens

Li Qingluo had been thinking about Duan Zhengchun day and night. Now that she finally saw him, she couldn't help but feel sad. Tears welled up in her eyes. She stood up and rushed to greet him, calling out, "Duan Lang!"

Duan Zhengchun's expression was slightly complicated when he saw Li Qingluo.

He owed a lot of romantic debts everywhere, and among all the creditors, Mrs. Wang was the most difficult to deal with.

Qin Hongmian, Ruan Xingzhu and others were satisfied with just having him accompany them. Madam Ma Kang Min was a married woman, so she dared not come out openly. Madam Wang's husband was already dead, so she insisted on forcing him to kill his first wife Dao Baifeng and marry her.

How could Duan Zhengchun agree to this? When things got out of hand, he had no choice but to leave without saying goodbye. Until now, they haven't seen each other for many years.

Although Duan Zhengchun was not loyal in love, he treated every lover sincerely. After a moment of hesitation, he called out softly, "A Luo."

Fang Muye saw that when Duan Zhengchun called her "A Luo", Li Qingluo's face suddenly showed a trace of tenderness. He knew that although she had some resentment towards Duan Zhengchun, it was also resentment due to love, and there was love but no hatred. He said immediately: "Madam Wang, I have fulfilled my promise to you that day."

Then he turned to Duan Zhengchun and said, "Brother Duan, you can chat with Madam Wang. I will go back to the inn and wait for you."

Duan Zhengchun and Li Qingluo are old lovers meeting today and have a lot to say to each other, but Duan Zhengchun has reservations about doing it in front of his son's master. It is also inconvenient for Li Qingluo, as a resident of Shuangju, to reveal her feelings in front of others.

When the two of them saw Fang Muye was leaving, they were very happy and immediately saw him off with courtesy.

Fang Muye went back to the inn and originally planned to wait for Duan Zhengchun to come back before saying goodbye. But then he changed his mind and thought that Duan Zhengchun and Li Qingluo would be in love for some time after a long separation and would not leave in the short term. There was no need for him to waste time here and he might as well leave early.

So he led Duan Yu to find the four guards, Chu, Gu, Fu, and Zhu, and said, "Brother Duan has met an old friend and wants to reminisce about the past. I will not wait any longer and will take Yu'er away first. The four brothers will wait here for a while. When he comes back, let him know."

The four guards bowed and respectfully saw Fang Muye and Duan Yu off.

After leaving the inn, Duan Yu was very excited and asked happily: "Master, where are we going next?"

Fang Muye's eyes were deep, as if he had thought of something, and he answered, "Let's go to Wuxi first."

Counting the time, the Xingzilin incident should happen in these few days. I just don't know if it will be affected after I have revealed some of the things I have said, and whether it will happen as scheduled as before.

Suzhou City and Wuxi City are not far apart. The two men rode on their horses and saw Wuxi City near the hour of Hai. Just as they were about to enter the city, Fang Muye suddenly saw an old monk wearing a gray patched robe, with a square face and big ears, and a dignified appearance.

Fang Muye's heart moved, and he immediately stopped his horse, jumped off the horse, and asked, "Is it Master Zhiguang from Mount Tiantai who is here?"

When Duan Yu saw his master talking to an old monk, he also dismounted from his horse.

Master Zhiguang had not been involved in martial arts for more than ten years. His name was not well-known in the martial arts world. Many people of the younger generation did not know his origins. Seeing that Fang Muye, who was so young, recognized him, he put his hands together and said, "I am Zhiguang."

Master Zhiguang once made a great vow and traveled across the oceans to the wilds overseas to collect exotic tree barks and cure countless people infected with malaria in Zhejiang, Fujian, and Guangdong. He fell seriously ill twice and eventually lost all his martial arts skills, but the benefits he brought to the people were indeed insignificant.

Fang Muye was filled with awe for such a virtuous act. He bowed and said, "Master Zhiguang's virtues are so great that no one can help respecting him. I am very fortunate to see the Buddha today."

Duan Yu had always been a devout Buddhist. Seeing that his master was respectful to Master Zhiguang, and understanding the meaning behind his words, he also followed suit and bowed deeply.

Master Zhiguang put his palms together and said, "Thank you for your courtesy, benefactors. I am old and confused, and I can't remember when I last met you two."

Fang Muye said, "I am Muye, and this is your humble disciple Duan Yu. I have always admired your merits in healing the people of Zhejiang, Fujian, and Guangdong. It's just that I didn't have the chance to meet you. I know that you came to Wuxi for important matters, so I won't delay you. We will meet again if we are lucky enough."

Master Zhiguang was surprised and paused, then said, "I have something important to attend to, so I'll take my leave now. I'll see you again if the time is right, benefactors." After saying this, he bowed eleven times to Fang Muye and Duan Yu and left.

Fang Muye did not move. He watched Master Zhiguang turn left at the fork in the road a few dozen feet ahead and go in the opposite direction of Wuxi City. So he and Duan Yu tied their horses in the woods beside the road, then left Master Zhiguang far behind and headed towards the apricot forest.

Master Zhiguang had just arrived in Wuxi. Apparently, a big drama was going on in Xingzilin at the moment, and it must have reached the second half. Fang Muye had not expected that his arrival time would be so coincidental.

Master Zhiguang led the way, while Fang Muye and Duan Yu followed behind. Not to mention that Master Zhiguang had now lost all his martial arts skills, even at his peak, he could not detect the whereabouts of Fang Muye and Duan Yu.

After walking a few miles, we turned left and walked along a zigzag path in the countryside. This area was full of fertile fields, with rivers and harbors crisscrossing everywhere. After walking a few miles, we arrived at an apricot forest.

Fang Muye led Duan Yu to avoid the Beggar Gang disciples who were guiding their fellows and warning against the enemy, and went around into the apricot forest. They saw a faint glow of fire a dozen feet ahead and heard bursts of voices.

I only heard Master Zhiguang's voice saying, "Elder Xu of the Beggars' Sect and Judge Shan of Mount Tai have jointly sent a letter to summon me. How dare I not come? Mount Tiantai is not far from Wuxi. The two of you also said in your letter that this matter concerns the fate of the people of the world, so I will obey the call."

Another voice said, "The great battle in front of the Rock Valley outside Yanmen Pass also involved Monk Zhiguang. You can tell us about it."

Fang Muye knew they had arrived at the place, so he and Duan Yu hid on the outskirts and did not show up immediately.

In the apricot forest, Qiao Feng originally came to discuss matters, but he unexpectedly encountered the four elders Xi, Song, Wu, and Chen, as well as the leader of the Dazhi branch, Quan Guanqing, who led more than 200 gang members and plotted a rebellion to depose him from his position as leader.

Qiao Feng took the initiative to subdue Quan Guanqing in one fell swoop, and with the prestige he had accumulated over the past decade, he defused the tense situation. After the leader of the Dayi branch, Jiang, led his subordinates to rescue the elders who passed on skills, the elders who enforced laws, and the leaders of the Dayen, Dayong, Dali, and Daxin branches, he quelled the rebellion with their support.

Afterwards, Qiao Feng repaid evil with kindness by punishing himself with the magic knife on behalf of the four elders Xi, Song, Wu and Chen. Everyone thought the matter was over, but unexpectedly something unexpected happened again.

Several prestigious seniors in the martial arts world, such as Elder Xu, who is of high seniority and has retired for a long time in the Beggars' Sect, and Mr. and Mrs. Tan from Chongxiao Cave in Taihang Mountains, Shan Zheng, the "Iron-faced Judge" of Mount Tai, Master Zhiguang from Mount Tiantai, and Madam Ma, the widow of Deputy Sect Leader Ma, all arrived one after another, and together they "framed" Qiao Feng as a Khitan barbarian.

These people spoke very convincingly, and they also had witnesses such as Zhao Qiansun and Master Zhiguang, and even produced letters commissioned by former gang leader Wang Jiantong and written to deputy gang leader Ma Dayuan as evidence.

For the past ten years, Qiao Feng had been planning every day how to destroy the Liao Kingdom and kill as many Khitan barbarians as possible. He was shocked to learn about this incident suddenly. Even though he had experienced many ups and downs in his life, he couldn't help but feel mixed emotions and was confused when he heard that he was a descendant of the Khitan.

Sometimes I thought they were jealous and made up all kinds of lies to frame me. At another time, I thought that what they all said was true. I couldn't help feeling confused.

When Madam Ma slandered him for killing Deputy Gang Leader Ma, and took out a folding fan given to him by his mentor Wang Jiantong, which she had obtained somehow, implying that he intended to steal letters and kill people to silence them, Qiao Feng became even more disheartened. He felt that the world was so big, but there was no place for him to stay.

Although the three elders Xi, Song and Wu, the three branch leaders Da Ren, Dayi and Dayong, and a large number of gang members were willing to believe in him and follow him, Qiao Feng did not want this to cause infighting among the Beggars' Sect. He also did not want his own unclear life experience to be tainted and he still sat on the position of gang leader. He had already begun to have the idea of ​​leaving.
