Travel through the heavens

Seeing Xiao Feng going to detoxify everyone, Fang Muye put Helian Tieshu on the ground, glanced at him indifferently, and said in a calm voice: "Stay still and don't think about anything else. If you make any unusual moves, I will kill you immediately."

Fang Muye's casual glance and words made Helian Tieshu break out in a cold sweat and his heart almost stopped beating. He had seen how powerful Fang Muye was, so he didn't dare to disobey him, let alone take risks.

Helian Tieshu forced himself to remain calm, clasped his fists and saluted towards Fang Muye, saying respectfully, "Just now I heard Boss Qiao call you Master. It turns out it was Master Gao who came to meet you. I am very honored. May I ask your name?"

Fang Muye said calmly: "It has nothing to do with you."

Helian Tieshu looked embarrassed for a moment, then said, "Your Excellency's martial arts are unparalleled and unprecedented. Our Xixia Kingdom is eager to seek talents. We are willing to offer you a high position and a generous position, and respectfully invite you to enter our country."

Fang Muye looked at him with interest and asked, "Oh? Really? I have always had a big appetite. I wonder how high a position your country can give me?"

Helian Tieshu immediately showed his joy and said respectfully: "I am a humble prince, but I am the General of the Eastern Expedition of the Xixia Kingdom. I am deeply loved by the emperor. If you have any suggestions, I can report them to the emperor. I believe that when the emperor learns that such an unparalleled talent as you is willing to enter our country, he will definitely treat you with the utmost courtesy."

He thought to himself, "Not only is this man extremely skilled in martial arts, he is also the master of the Beggars' Sect leader Qiao Feng. If he joins my Xixia Kingdom, maybe I can kill three birds with one stone and take Qiao Feng and the Beggars' Sect into my possession."

Fang Muye smiled slightly and said, "Really? Then go and report to your emperor. If he is willing to give me the position of the ruler of Xixia, I can consider joining your Xixia Kingdom."

The joy on Helian Tieshu's face froze immediately, and he couldn't help but get angry, but he didn't dare to get angry after all. He smiled bitterly and said, "Why do you have to tease me, my lord?"

Fang Muye chuckled, ignored him, and looked at Xiao Feng and the others who were approaching.

At the time when the two were talking, Xiao Feng and Elder Wu had already cured Duan Yu, other elders and leaders of the Beggars' Sect, Master Zhiguang and other fellow martial artists of the same sect of "Sad and Pure Breeze". As for the poison of the beggars, there were Beggars' Sect disciples who had cured the poison to cure it for them.

Everyone came closer and thanked Fang Muye for his generosity. Afterwards, Xiao Feng looked at Helian Tieshu and asked Fang Muye, "Master, what should we do with this man?"

Fang Muye said: "You decide."

The four elders and four branch leaders of the Beggars' Sect all looked at Xiao Feng, obviously wanting to listen to his decision.

Another elder, Chen Guyan, had the most violent temper. He immediately shouted, "This dog Tartar is our enemy, and he is using despicable means to deal with us. What else can we think about? Just kill him."

Upon hearing this, the beggars all showed an expression of interest.

Helian Tieshu was immediately terrified. After thinking for a while, he deliberately smiled coldly and said, "I would like to advise you kindly. I am sent to the Song Dynasty by the order of the Lord of Xixia. If I die in your country, your country may not be able to explain to Xixia, and it may cause a war between the two countries. You should consider it carefully."

The beggars all understood the threat contained in Helian Tieshu's words and were extremely angry, but they also knew that he was not lying.

The Song Dynasty was weak. To the north, it had been at war with the Liao Kingdom for years and had the upper hand. In addition, the Western Xia and Tubo each had hundreds of thousands of elite soldiers, dominating the western frontier and eyeing the prosperous Central Plains covetously. If the killing of Helian Tieshu really triggered a war between the Song Dynasty and the Western Xia, the Liao Kingdom and Tubo would certainly take the opportunity to send troops straight in and swallow up and divide up the Han land. At that time, the Song Dynasty would be in danger, and even perish soon. The Beggars' Sect would also bear the eternal infamy.

But if the Beggars' Sect let him go after Helian Tieshu threatened them like that, how shameful it would be! Wouldn't the reputation of the Beggars' Sect be thrown into the ground?

It's really a dilemma, so let's leave it to the gang leader to decide.

When the beggars thought of this, they all looked at Xiao Feng again.

Xiao Feng weighed the pros and cons, sighed in his heart, and was about to speak, but Fang Muye reached out first and patted Helian Tieshu's shoulder, saying in a calm voice: "You can go."

Helian Tieshu suddenly felt a chill running down from the top of his head to the soles of his feet, and he couldn't help but shiver. After a while, he no longer noticed anything wrong with his body. He just thought that it was because he was too afraid of Fang Muye that he felt scared and felt unwell.

He bowed to everyone and said, "The mountains remain unchanged, the waters flow forever. Everyone, I will take my leave now."

After saying this polite remark, Helian Tieshu turned around, walked to the horse, jumped on it, shouted loudly: "Go!" and led a group of Xixia warriors to gallop away.

After the matter was settled, Master Zhiguang and the others said goodbye and left first. Afterwards, Xiao Feng once again rejected the beggars' attempts to keep him and left with Fang Muye and Duan Yu.

Fang Muye, Duan Yu, and Xiao Feng left the apricot forest. After walking for a few miles, Fang Muye asked, "Feng'er, do you have any plans for the future?"

Xiao Feng pondered for a moment, a look of desolation appeared on his face, and he said in a deep voice: "Disciple wants to go back to Shaoshi Mountain in Henan to visit my adoptive parents first. Although they are not my biological parents, they raised me and I must repay them. After that, I will go to Shaolin Temple to pay homage to my teacher, Master Xuan Ku. Disciple has pledged his loyalty to you and I must inform him of your loyalty. Disciple also wants to meet Abbot Xuan Ci. After this trip, disciple will go find that old thief Murong Bo and avenge his parents." At the end, the desolation on his face had disappeared, replaced by resentment.

Fang Muye nodded and said, "We need to go to Shaoshi Mountain first. Your father is living in seclusion near Shaolin Temple. It is time for you and your son to meet."

Xiao Feng said "hmm" nonchalantly, then suddenly woke up, stared at Fang Muye with wide eyes, and asked in a trembling voice: "Master, what did you just say? My biological father is hiding near Shaolin Temple? He...he is still alive?!"

Fang Muye said slowly, "Yes, your father is still alive. Back then, something strange happened outside Yanmen Pass. Your father was so sad that he jumped off a cliff to commit suicide. Fortunately, he got the Heavenly Scroll and fell on the branch of a big tree at the bottom of the valley, so he survived. Your father went through the gates of hell, and his will to die was gone, so he had the idea of ​​revenge."

"Your father was angry at the Central Plains warriors who ambushed him and wrongly accused him of trying to steal the martial arts books of Shaolin Temple. So he decided to go all out and hid near Shaolin Temple, secretly read the Shaolin martial arts books, and tracked down the leader of the Central Plains warriors to avenge the murder of his wife and the seizure of his son. However, although your father found out that Abbot Xuanci was the 'leader', he didn't know that the real culprit was Murong Bo, who was also hiding near Shaolin Temple, sneaked into the Shaolin Temple's Sutra Library to copy the martial arts books, and had fought with him three times."

Xiao Feng listened attentively, his expression changing several times, from the mixed joy and surprise when he heard that his father was still alive, to the silent distress when he learned that his father secretly read the Shaolin martial arts classics, and finally to the solemn and serious expression, he asked in a deep voice: "Master, is the old thief Murong Bo still near the Shaolin Temple?"

Fang Muye said, "In order to strengthen his country's power, Murong Bo secretly copied the Shaolin 72 unique skills and taught them to his followers. That's why you met your father in the Sutra Library. But so many years have passed, and he has already copied all the martial arts books in the Sutra Library. I wonder if he is still near the temple. I have to go look for him."

In the original novel, Murong Bo showed up during the battle of Shaoshi Mountain. Most likely, it was because he was worried that Murong Fu would suffer a loss in Shaolin Temple, so he hid nearby and waited for help. It is hard to say whether he is there now.

Xiao Feng bowed to Fang Muye and said respectfully, "Thank you, Master, for explaining this to me. If I hadn't met you, I would have been completely lost from today on, and I don't know when I would be able to wake up."

Fang Muye lifted up Xiao Feng and said, "You and I are master and disciple, there is no need to be so polite."

Duan Yu smiled and said, "Brother Xiao, Master is an immortal and knows everything. If you have any questions in the future, just ask Master directly."

Fang Muye tapped Duan Yu on the head with his fingers and scolded him, "You little brat, I've already told you that your master is not an immortal, nor does he know everything."

Although Fang Muye did not use much force, Duan Yu still pretended to be pitiful and said, "Aiyou", touching the place where his head was hit, and said, "Yu'er doesn't believe that there is something that Master doesn't know."

Fang Muye smiled and said, "Of course there is. I don't know what is not written in the book."

Xiao Feng and Duan Yu looked over curiously. Duan Yu asked, "In a book? Master, what book is it?"

Fang Muye tapped his head with his fingers again and said with a smile, "The Book of Heaven."

Duan Yu rubbed his head and muttered quietly: "Master lied to me again. He has read the Heavenly Book and still says that he is not an immortal."
