Travel through the heavens

When everyone saw that Qiao Feng really took "Bai Xiaosheng" as his master, most of them were in disbelief and felt it was extremely absurd. Many people immediately looked down on him.

Fang Muye didn't care about other people's reactions and laughed heartily, "Haha, good disciple, get up quickly." Then he reached out and helped Qiao Feng up.

After Qiao Feng stood up, he turned to Duan Yu, bowed, and said, "Qiao Feng greets Senior Brother."

Duan Yu was stunned for a moment, then he smiled embarrassedly and said, "Junior brother, there is no need to be so polite." Although it was sudden, he was in a very happy mood to have a new junior brother.

Qiao Feng smiled at him, then turned to Fang Muye, clasped his fists and bowed deeply, saying, "Master, I beg you to tell me about my life experience."

Before Fang Muye could say anything, a man's voice suddenly rang out from the crowd: "Boss Qiao, since he is your master, he will naturally protect your identity. Why are you asking so much!"

Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw that the person who spoke was Quan Guanqing of the Beggar Gang. After careful thought, they felt that what he said made a lot of sense. Since this "Bai Xiaosheng" was Qiao Feng's master, there was a difference between close relatives and strangers, so naturally he would help his apprentice. Even if he knew, how could he really tell him the truth?

Fang Muye looked at Quan Guanqing deeply, sneered, and said, "You are just judging others by your own standards."

Quan Guanqing is the leader of the Dazhi branch of the Beggar Gang and is also very famous in the martial arts world. Now, when he heard Fang Muye mocking him to his face and comparing him to a villain, he immediately showed anger. However, he had no idea of ​​Fang Muye's background after all, so he did not dare to get angry.

Most of the others also felt that Fang Muye was quite arrogant. When people were wandering around in the world, they had to consider their reputation. The behavior of this "Bai Xiaosheng" was indeed different.

Fang Muye looked at the angry Quan Guanqing and said nonchalantly: "I called you a 'villain', you must be very dissatisfied, but you know whether it is true or not, don't worry, I will talk about your matter later, and the right and wrong will be determined by then."

When Quan Guanqing heard this, his eyes flickered but he didn't say anything. Everyone was curious about what Fang Muye meant and just waited for him to explain in detail later.

Fang Muye turned his gaze towards Master Zhiguang, took two steps towards him, then bowed slightly and said with a smile: "Master Zhiguang, we meet again."

Master Zhiguang glanced at Fang Muye, his expression slightly strange, and he put his hands together in a salute, saying, "I am honored to meet you, Mr. Fang. You said before that we would meet again if we were destined to. It turns out that we are supposed to meet here."

Fang Muye smiled and nodded: "Master, please forgive me for any offense!"

Then he said in a sonorous voice: "When Feng'er was one year old, he and his wife went to his grandmother's house for a banquet. On the way, we suddenly encountered a thief from the Southern Dynasty. The incident happened in a hurry. My wife and children were killed by the thief. I don't want to live in this world anymore. My teacher is a Han Chinese from the Southern Dynasty. I swore in front of my teacher that I would never be an enemy of the Han people, let alone kill them. Who would have thought that I would kill more than ten people today? I am ashamed and sad. I will not be able to face my teacher after I die. This is Xiao Yuanshan's last words."

Most people were surprised to hear Fang Muye suddenly say such incoherent words, but there were also some smart people who guessed what he was talking about.

Fang Muye looked at Master Zhiguang and asked, "Master, you must not forget the inscription on the stone wall outside Yanmen Pass. I wonder if what I just said is wrong?"

When Master Zhiguang listened to Fang Muye's description of the wall inscription, his expression changed. When Fang Muye finished speaking, his face had become gloomy. He couldn't help but think of what happened that year again, feeling guilty.

Hearing Fang Muye's question, Master Zhiguang sighed and said, "Mr. Fang is right." Although he was surprised, he did not ask Fang Muye how he knew that.

Fang Muye turned to Qiao Feng and said, "Feng'er, you are indeed a Khitan. Xiao Yuanshan is your father. Your original name was Xiao Feng, but Master Zhiguang and the others kept your original name. It was only because you were entrusted to the Qiao family to be raised that you had to take their surname, so you were called Qiao Feng."

Qiao Feng glanced at Master Zhiguang's expression, and his body trembled. He couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat: "So I am really a Khitan! So my name is Xiao Feng, not Qiao Feng!"

The surname of the Liao Dynasty was Yelu, and the empresses of all generations were surnamed Xiao. The Xiao family was a descendant of the Liao Dynasty, with generals and ministers filling the court. They were extremely powerful in the Liao Dynasty. Sometimes the Liao ruler was young and Empress Dowager Xiao was in power, and the Xiao family became even more powerful.

Xiao Feng suddenly learned that he was from a prominent Khitan family. For a moment, he was overwhelmed with emotions and was in a trance for a long time.

Thinking again about the contents of the wall writing mentioned by his master, he realized the pain his biological father felt at that time. He knew that he jumped off the cliff to commit suicide not only because he was heartbroken about the tragic death of his wife and children, but also because he broke his oath and killed many Han people, which made him feel ashamed of his master. Xiao Feng's eyes became moist and his mind was in chaos.

"This is the truth! No wonder Master Zhiguang said that my biological parents died unjustly and that they were sorry to my biological parents."

Xiao Feng was in a daze when he heard his master's loud voice again: "Feng'er, a real man walks in the world, looking up to the sky without shame, looking down to the earth without shame, and being true to his heart. What difference does it make whether you are a Khitan or a Han Chinese? This Zhao Qiansun just said a line in the conversation, 'Han people are not necessarily superior to others, and Khitan people are not necessarily worse than pigs and dogs'. The Song people only think that the Khitan people are vicious and cruel, and abuse the Han people, but if you go to the border between Song and Liao, you will see that the Song soldiers slaughtered the old, weak, women and children of the Khitan people, and treated them like pigs and dogs. Feng'er, there are good people and bad people everywhere. Even if you are a Khitan, you can still be a man who stands tall and proud."

"Just like your father, although he was a Khitan, he persuaded the Liao ruler to make peace with the Song Dynasty. The Song and Liao did not go to war, and countless lives of soldiers and civilians of both countries were saved. There were no casualties, and not much military expenses and food was wasted. The people had enough food and clothing and lived and worked in peace. Your father cared about the people of the world, and was kind to both countries. His merits were immeasurable. He was a great hero, a real man."

After hearing the first half of his master's words of comfort and advice, Xiao Feng felt touched. However, he had considered himself a Han Chinese for the past thirty years, but now he suddenly became a hostile Khitan. He was in great distress and it would take time for him to feel relieved.

After listening to the second half of his master's comments on his biological father, he was startled and thought to himself: What kind of identity is my biological father? How could he have such a say in the Liao Dynasty and influence national affairs? Is such a great hero who benefits the people really a Khitan? Is he really my father?

The hatred for the country and the family is overwhelming!

At that time, the image of the Khitans in the minds of the Song people had long been demonized and the concept was deeply rooted. When the Song people talked about the Liao people, they wished they could eat their flesh and drink their blood alive, and they wanted to kill them.

As a Song person, Qiao Feng grew up in this environment for thirty years and was naturally deeply influenced by what he saw and heard. This is why he was extremely reluctant and difficult to accept after his Khitan identity was revealed, and he even felt inferior. He found it incredible that his biological father was such a righteous and righteous man.

Not only him, but even the people present found it hard to believe that there could be such noble people among the Khitans as "Bai Xiaosheng" described.

Master Zhiguang sighed and said, "Amitabha! We killed a living Bodhisattva who benefited the people. It was a big mistake. We are ashamed to face others."

When everyone saw Master Zhiguang's face showing a sad expression, it was obvious that he was still upset about this matter and felt extremely guilty. His words also confirmed that what Bai Xiaosheng said was true, and they were shocked for a while: There is such a great hero among the Khitan people? !

Xiao Feng was filled with grief. He bowed to Fang Muye and said, "Master, today I know my own name and my father's name for the first time. I am deeply grateful for your kindness. I beg you to tell me who my father is and who the leader outside Yanmen Pass was."

Fang Muye helped Xiao Feng up and said, "Feng'er, there is no need to be polite between you and me as a master and disciple. If you want to know, I will tell you."

Just as he was about to answer Xiao Feng's question, Master Zhiguang suddenly spoke slowly, "Buddha, have mercy on us! Donor Fang, Donor Xiao, the leader made a big mistake back then. We have been worried day and night for the past thirty years, fearing that the Liao army would march south. We have regretted and blamed ourselves, and have suffered a lot. We have already suffered a lot. It is better to resolve grudges than to create them. It is pointless to repay grudges. It is better to be calm and laugh it off."

What he meant was that he hoped Fang Muye would not reveal the identity of the leader, and that Xiao Feng would not go and seek revenge. Of course, he respected the leader very much, and did not want to damage his reputation, but he could not say this.

Fang Muye looked at Master Zhiguang and shook his head, sighing, "Master, you are so trapped in this situation that you probably have forgotten that covering up your mistakes is the same as committing them. Whether you are covering up your own mistakes or others' mistakes, you are accumulating sins. You should have repented and atone for your sins when you did something wrong, but now you are still thinking about hiding it. Where is your Buddhahood?"

Upon hearing this, Master Zhiguang fell silent and fell into deep thought.
