Travel through the heavens

The Thunderbolt Hall is the most prestigious martial arts family in the north and south of the Yangtze River. Lei Family Castle is where the Thunderbolt Hall is located and covers a very large area.

At the front are three main halls, which are used to receive guests.

Behind the main hall are three main halls, namely the Liehuo Hall which specializes in studying gunpowder, the Tieshan Hall which teaches disciples to practice boxing and internal skills, and the Jieli Hall which is in charge of the rewards and punishments of the Leimen.

Behind the three halls is a large mansion where the most proud disciples of the Leimen live. Surrounding the huge mansion in the center, there are many small courtyards scattered around. Unlike the solemn and magnificent mansion, those small courtyards are flat and ordinary, and are inhabited by disciples from the branch families of the Leimen.

Lei Hong, Lei Wujie's father Lei Mengsha and uncle Lei Mengchen are all disciples of the branch family.

When Lei Wujie was young, he was sent to Leijiabao and entrusted to his uncle Lei Mengchen. When he was six years old, by chance, he entered Lei Hong's yard, became Lei Hong's disciple, and has lived with Lei Hong since then.

When Lei Wujie was eight years old, Lei Mengchen died of alcoholism, and his courtyard became vacant until two years ago when Lei Wujie moved back in.

This was the yard where Fang Muye woke up, and the yard where Lei Hong was was not far away.

On this day, the weather was fine and Fang Muye went to visit Lei Hong in his courtyard. The two were sitting in the courtyard talking when they suddenly heard several respectful voices coming from outside the courtyard.

"Meet the sect master."

"Good for the boss."

After a while, a man pushed open the gate and walked in.

Fang Muye looked up and saw that the man was thin and wearing a thick fur coat made of white tiger skin. He was curled up in the fur coat, with a pale face and sunken eyes. He coughed as he walked, as if his whole body was filled with coldness, like a consumptive patient.

Lei Hong glanced at the visitor and asked, "How come you have time to come to my courtyard today?"

The visitor did not answer. Instead, he looked at Fang Muye and asked, "Is this the friend that Lei Wujie brought back from the back mountain?" His voice was low and hoarse, and as terrifying as if it was torn apart.

Lei Hong stood up and said with a smile: "Yes, this is Brother Fang Muye, and now he is also Wu Jie's master."

Hearing this, the look in the visitor's eyes when he looked at Fang Muye suddenly changed. There was something less, but also something more meaningful.

Lei Hong then introduced Fang Muye who had stood up at the same time: "Brother Fang, this is Lei Qianhu, the leader of our Lei Sect."

Fang Muye clasped his fists and said with a smile: "Master Lei, I have long heard of your name. It is a pleasure to meet you."

Lei Qianhu bowed and responded, "Brother Fang, you are polite."

He exhaled a breath of cold air, clenched his right fist, put it to his lips, and coughed heavily a few times. Then he told Lei Hong the purpose of coming here in a calm voice: "I have finished taking the medicine."

Lei Hong showed a concerned look on his face and said, "Wait a minute, I'll go get you a few more doses." After that, he turned and walked towards the room.

Lei Qianhu gathered his sleeves and smiled at Fang Muye, but did not say anything.

Fang Muye immediately smiled back and looked at him carefully.

The Lei Clan was home to many talented people during Lei Qianhu's generation. Lei Mengsha, Lei Hong, Lei Yunhe and Lei Qianhu were all gifted and martial arts prodigies, known as the "Four Heroes of the Lei Clan". Originally, the future should have been an era when the Lei Family Fort would dominate the world.

However, Lei Meng entered the court as an official and died on the battlefield of Nanjue.

Lei Hong and Lei Yunhe were young and frivolous, and wanted to venture into the world. In order to prevent the young Lei Qianhu from following them, they tricked Lei Qianhu into protecting the Lei family before they returned.

Lei Qianhu agreed, and it was this promise that Lei Qianhu carried for his whole life. He practiced the "Five Thunder Heavenly Gang Fist" taught by his father, just because this fist was strong enough to protect the Lei Clan.

When he heard that Lei Hong and Lei Yunhe had made a name for themselves in the martial arts world as the "Lei Men Twins" and were on the Liang Yu List, he was visibly happy, but he couldn't hide his inner loneliness. To be a leader in the martial arts world and to become famous was also Lei Qianhu's dream when he was young.

Afterwards, Lei Yunhe asked for a sword from Zhao Yuzhen, the Taoist swordsman of Qingcheng Mountain, and lost one arm. Since then, he disappeared from the world and became the elder guarding the Dengtian Pavilion in Xueyue City. Lei Hong asked for a sword from Li Hanyi, the swordsman of Xueyue City, but he also fell into a slump. From then on, the burden of the Lei family fell on Lei Qianhu alone.

When the Demon Cult launched a massive eastward expedition, Lei Qianhu, in order to protect the Lei Family Castle, fought with the Demon Cult's Elder Youbing three times and killed him. Although he became famous because of this, he also suffered from an incurable cold poison. At the same time, he had to endure groundless rumors from the outside world that ruined his reputation. In the end, he died at a heroes' banquet to protect the Lei Clan. His life was so respectable, yet so tragic.

Thinking of this, Fang Muye said, "Master Lei, although I am not very talented, I know a little bit about medicine. If Master Lei is willing, you may let me take a look at you."

Lei Qianhu's eyes flashed with surprise when he heard this, and then he smiled and said, "Then I'll trouble you, Brother Fang."

Fang Muye smiled and said, "Master Lei, you are too polite. Let me check your pulse first."

The two men walked to the table and sat down. Lei Qianhu stretched out his arm and placed it on the table. Fang Muye put his fingers on his wrist and felt it was cold, as if he was touching a piece of ice. He also felt that his pulse was beating strangely and was quite disorderly.

Fang Muye was lost in thought, his brows slightly furrowed. Lei Qianhu's current physical condition was really complicated.

Lei Qianhu noticed Fang Muye's expression, but he didn't care. He knew his own body well, and the cold poison he suffered was extremely vicious. Many famous medical masters, such as Xin Baicao, the Medicine King of Medicine Valley, and Sikong Changfeng, the Spear Immortal, could not cure him. It was normal for Brother Fang to be helpless.

When Fang Muye finished taking his pulse, Lei Qianhu was the first to say with a calm smile: "Brother Fang, if you have anything to say, just say it. I can bear it."

Fang Muye nodded, and then said slowly: "Master Lei has been suffering from the cold poison for more than ten years. Now the cold poison has spread to his internal organs and has become entangled and solidified. What is even more strange and complicated is that there are many kinds of toxins in Master Lei's internal organs, which are mutually restrained and dependent on the cold poison."

At this time, Lei Hong's voice came: "When the Thousand Tigers Cold Poison attacked, the pain was unbearable and his life was in danger. We were helpless and could only use the Lingnan old Wen family's method of using poison to counter poison, which saved his life."

Fang Muye smiled and said, "No wonder. Now the two poisons in the body of the Lei Clan have entangled their internal organs and gathered in the heart meridian. They are mutually balanced and tied together by a thread. If one of the poisons is missing, the other will immediately take effect and endanger his life. Therefore, we can only remove the two poisons at the same time. If we want to cure him, it will take some effort."

Lei Hong and Lei Qianhu listened to Fang Muye's explanation of the disease. At first, they were calm, but when they heard the end, they were both shocked, their eyes flashed, and they said in unison: "What! Brother Fang means that it can be cured?"
