Wuxia: I know a lot of martial arts

Chapter 223 Heart Demon?

As Pei Nu expected, after Chu Tang brought Chang Xiaoming out of Nanqinghou's Mansion, he didn't intend to stay in Qingcheng, but pulled him to the east of the city.

He intends to go straight out of the city, away from this place.

Marquis Nanqing had too much influence in Qingcheng, or in Liangzhou, almost more powerful than the governor.

Now that Chu Tang has completely offended this faction, how dare he stay in his stronghold?

Back to Wutong Academy?
Not to mention whether Tao Ying would help them bear the revenge from the Nanqinghou Mansion, even if she was willing, Chu Tang would not have the face to ask for help.

That is beyond any morality!
The family of Wutong Academy has a big business, and they are rooted in Qingcheng, and they don't see each other with the people of Nanqinghou Mansion. They can't be dragged into the water just because of Chu Tang's momentary righteous indignation.

Chu Tang couldn't do such a shameless thing.

Unlike Luoshen Valley, Luoshen Valley was provoked, and Wutong Academy was backed by various official backgrounds. No matter how powerful Luoshen Valley was, he still had to worry about the face of the court, and he did not dare to retaliate blatantly.

And the greatest power in the Nanqinghou Mansion itself is on the court side!
When there is a conflict between the two parties, one is the imperial court's frontier general, and the other is a local academy that only trains civil servants for the imperial court. When the two parties bring the lawsuit to the top, they can think that the imperial court will definitely protect Nan Qinghou's face.

Tao Ying has taken care of him enough these days, Chu Tang never dared to bring the disaster of Nanqinghou Mansion into Wutong Academy again.

For this reason, Chu Tang had no choice but to leave the city immediately and arrange for Chang Xiaoming to escape far away.

The books he borrowed from Wutong Academy these days are not for nothing, and he has a preliminary understanding and grasp of the situation around Qingcheng and Liangzhou.

Go out of the city, go east, pass Dongcheng, and a little north is Shuangjun.

After passing through Shuangjun, go northeast for another hundred miles and enter the boundary of Jingzhou.

That was outside of Liangzhou, not to mention Nanqinghou, the Lord of Qingcheng, even the Governor of Liangzhou, would not dare to extend his hand to Jingzhou's territory.

That's a taboo in official circles!

After all, Jingzhou also has a governor, as well as other dukes, who must hate the behavior of their colleagues who go overboard.

Chu Tang remembered that Zhao Ziyu once said that their troupe usually operates in the counties and counties of Jingzhou and Liangzhou, so Chang Xiaoming should be familiar with Jingzhou, and if he is careful, he can protect himself.

Of course, it was impossible for Chu Tang to personally escort the other party to Jingzhou. He planned to spend money to arrange for someone to take Chang Xiaoming to Jingzhou after leaving Dongcheng.

To be able to do this, Chu Tang felt that he had done his best. After all, he and Chang Xiaoming were neither relatives nor relatives, and they did not have a deep friendship.

To carry Nanqing Hou Shizi hard for their troupe today has already broken his usual style of behavior, and it is all caused by an indescribable psychology.

The two ran wildly all the way, and after about half an hour, they arrived near the east gate of the city.

Seeing that it was approaching noon, Chu Tang saw that Chang Xiaoming was very sleepy, so he found a place and ordered two bowls of vermicelli, and the two had a meal in a hurry.

Looking at Chang Xiaoming who was sometimes sober, sometimes confused, and sometimes a little crazy, Chu Tang was also the first two older, worried about each other's future life.

After lunch, the sky turned gloomy, and the dark clouds that had been brewing all morning became thicker and thicker.

The rhythm of the sky is cloudy and rainy.

But Chu Tang didn't dare to stay longer, and after thinking for a while, he rented a single-rider carriage at a car dealership not far from the city gate.

As a groom, he let Chang Xiaoming sit in the car, and then rushed to Dongcheng.

The horse's hooves rushed, rattled wildly, and arrived in Dongcheng more than half an hour later.

Like Nancheng, Dongcheng is also a satellite city of Qingcheng.

After entering the East City, the sky became darker and darker, Chu Tang slowed down the speed of the carriage.

After thinking for a while, he abandoned the carriage in a place where no one was paying attention, dragged Chang Xiaoming around the city for a while, and finally found a small inn to settle down.

Just settled down, the rain that had been brewing for a day finally fell.

On summer afternoons, the downpour comes on its own terms.

In the room, listening to the sound of the rain outside, Chu Tang was lost in thought for a while, and finally turned his eyes to Chang Xiaoming who was sitting on the stool in the room.

Chang Xiaoming was still wearing blood-stained clothes, but the long hair that Chu Tang had tied up made his entire face visible.

With a foolish expression and dull eyes, he sat there without moving, but instead of the manic riot that Chu Tang had when he first saw him.

Slowly sitting opposite Chang Xiaoming, Chu Tang decided to see if he could get some information about the whereabouts of the rest of their theater troupe from him.

"Xiao Ming..." Chu Tang called out several times in a row, and Chang Xiaoming reacted a little, raised his head, and looked at Chu Tang blankly.

"Xiao Ming, do you know me?" Chu Tang asked softly.

Chang Xiaoming shook his head, his eyes showing confusion.

Chu Tang tried to ease the other party's emotions with a smile, and his voice became softer: "Xiao Ming, I am a friend of your junior sister Zhao Ziyu, Ms. Zhao. Can you tell me, where has Ms. Zhao gone?"

"Ziyu!" Chang Xiaoming felt as if a mechanism had been activated when he heard the name, and suddenly his whole body trembled, his eyes popped out, and his voice trembled violently, "They're all dead! They're all dead..."

Chu Tang's heart sank when he heard the words, and the other party just couldn't understand what was going on with these words again!

"Ah!" Chang Xiaoming roared suddenly, stood up abruptly, and wanted to run out.

As if Chu Tang had expected it and was well prepared, he immediately stepped forward and moved in front of Chang Xiaoming. The index finger of his right hand moved forward a little and poked at the acupoint on Chang Xiaoming's chest.

Chang Xiaoming instinctively wanted to dodge.

It's a pity that today is not what it used to be, Chu Tang is no longer the little policeman who had to entangle with Chang Xiaoming for a long time last year if he wanted to take down Chang Xiaoming.

A yang finger!

The energy shot out from Chu Tang's finger hit Chang Xiaoming's acupuncture point several feet away with a snort, and stabilized his figure.

Chang Xiaoming couldn't move, but he didn't stop screaming, and let out a crazy roar like a wild animal.

Fortunately, the doors and windows were closed, and the rain outside was loud, so the roar did not attract the attention of others.

After a while, Chang Xiaoming seemed to be tired from yelling, and his voice gradually stopped.

Chu Tang took a closer look and saw two lines of red blood and tears streaming from the other party's eyes, he couldn't help being shocked.

Hurry to check, fortunately, Chang Xiaoming only had a cracked eye socket, and did not hurt the eyeball.

But his eyes were bloodshot and red, making him look even more terrifying.

Chu Tang's heart trembled, what kind of pain was it that made a man who was not mentally sound so sad, so indignant!

Taking a deep breath, Chu Tang carried Chang Xiaoming to the bed and told him to lie down and rest.

Maybe it was really too tired, accompanied by the rhythmic sound of rain, Chang Xiaoming gradually fell asleep, snoring.

Chu Tang sighed, came to the window, propped up the window, and let the wind blow in fresh air.

The inn is very small, with only one floor of the house, and it is located in a relatively remote place. The scenery outside the window is not elegant, but rather simple.

As far as the eye can see, the small courtyard is covered with mud. Under the washing of the rain, muddy yellow muddy water soon appeared, forming a puddle, turning the entire courtyard into a small pond.

The earthy smell of mud mixed with rainwater sneaked into the house along with the wind and rain, making people's noses itchy.

Chu Tang also seemed to let go of his mind, staring at the rain falling outside the window in a daze, and it took him a while to come back to his senses.

Turning his gaze from the rain to Chang Xiaoming on the bed, Chu Tang sighed again, feeling a little depressed.

He vaguely guessed that apart from Chang Xiaoming, other people in the teacher's troupe might be in danger, even Zhao Ziyu...

No matter how insane Chang Xiaoming's mind is, he can still remember the basic facts. Whenever he asked other members of the troupe, he repeatedly said "all dead, all dead", which made people suspect that something extremely bloody happened in the In front of him.

Also, Chu Tang remembered that when he was in Nanqinghou's mansion, a guard was quick to talk about a woman taking advantage of the prince's banquet, and why the West House's defenses were extremely lax, so she took advantage of it and entered, which led to Chang Xiaoming's escape. in front of them.

Then, that woman is probably Zhao Ziyu.

Thinking that after Chu Tang refused to help her in Wutong Academy, she has been lurking around the Nanqing Hou Mansion these days, trying to rescue everyone in the master's school by herself.

And this morning Wang Haochen invited them to visit, which gave her a chance to take advantage of it.

However, many times, opportunities can also turn into crises.

Many guards in the Hou Mansion only talk about the realm of martial arts. It is true that the realm is not high and the cultivation base is low, but they are all elite soldiers who can survive on the battlefield. None of them is simple.

Once these people line up, a dozen or twenty people will be able to exert great power, and with the addition of breaking gangbow arrows...

Zhao Ziyu's mere four-level cultivation base really couldn't escape from the siege of these guards!

In this regard, Chu Tang had already experienced how powerful the guards of Marquis Nanqing were.

Based on such inferences, what Chang Xiaoming said about "they are all dead" is probably not groundless.

Thinking of this, Chu Tang's heart felt congested, as if a stone was hanging in his throat, his chest was so constricted that it hurt even to breathe.

"Only when Chang Xiaoming wakes up can we know what happened in the Hou Mansion today." Chu Tang sighed with a wry smile and told himself to be patient.

Chang Xiaoming is not always in a state of madness. Zhao Ziyu told him that as long as her senior brother is not too stimulated, she is usually awake most of the time.

It's just that now it seems that he has been greatly stimulated today, but he doesn't know when he will wake up.

"Nanqinghou..." Chu Tang gradually thought of what happened today, and couldn't help frowning.

As rumored outside, Wang Haochen, the prince of Nanqinghou, is used to being arrogant. If something goes wrong, he will be very angry and tyrannical, and he never does things regardless of the consequences.

When he was in the Hou Mansion, he, Chu Tang, had already spent a lot of time talking, trying to use words to calm the other party, so that they would use more words and less hands because of the delicate relationship between the frontier generals and the court yamen.

But Wang Haochen didn't want to think so much, he just wanted his subordinates to do it, so he didn't hesitate to expose the fact that he had a team of broken gangbow arrows.

It was Commander Pei who made Chu Tang feel that the other party was a character who could bend and stretch, like a tiger and a poisonous snake, and was a big threat.

For some reason, even though the other party gave up halfway and let him leave the Hou Mansion with Chang Xiaoming, Chu Tang is still anxious and can't forget Pei Nu's complicated eyes.

Those eyes were full of different considerations, and also full of unknown dangers.

Chu Tang always felt that the other party would do some tricks and would not let them leave Qingcheng easily.

That's why after he entered Dongcheng, he immediately abandoned all the rented carriages and chose to hide in this small inn.

As a satellite city, the biggest force in Dongcheng is the city defense army, and Nan Qinghou was born in the army, no one knows how much influence he has in the city defense army.

Chu Tang has always been cautious, not daring to carelessly reveal his whereabouts, lest others take advantage of it.

Looking at Chang Xiaoming who was sleeping soundly, Chu Tang had only one thought in his mind: "As long as I get out of Dongcheng and enter the boundary of Shuangjun, I can find a bodyguard agency with a good reputation and send Chang Xiaoming to Jingzhou. ...Miss Zhao! As for the grievances between the teacher's troupe and Nanqing Hou Shizi, I..."

Chu Tang suddenly became confused again.

He is not related to him, so the so-called blood feud has anything to do with him?

Is it really okay?

He is a fast catcher, a warrior, a man of flesh and blood, and...

Chu Tang's mind was in a mess, and even his body's internal breath was not stable. A burst of chaotic internal energy swam through his body, causing his flesh and blood to ache.

"No!" Chu Tang came to his senses and found something wrong with his body.

"The inner breath is in turmoil, distracting thoughts are rampant, and the mind is not pure... Is this going to be crazy?" Chu Tang was very frightened, remembering how similar the state of being crazy in martial arts that many people have mentioned to him is how similar to his current situation !
Chu Tang, who has always been instilling martial arts for the panel, has never had the notion of going crazy, let alone the experience of suppressing distracting thoughts.

Before he had time to think about it, he immediately took a deep breath, breathing as gently as possible, and then operated the Mingyu Gong mental method, walking around the sky.

When Ming Yugong is practiced deeply, the most important thing is to have no distracting thoughts in the mind, it is like dead silence, and the heart is like ashes, and it is the most desolate.

The first floor, the second floor, the third floor... until the ninth floor.

The most profound state of Ming Yu Gong was revealed on Chu Tang——

His body gradually became transparent, except for his hair which was still black, all his flesh became as pure, transparent and pure as bright jade.

His whole body turned into a bright jade in human form!
If an outsider was present and saw him like this, he would definitely go crazy with fright.

Time gradually passed.

Chu Tang circulated the Ming Yugong for two big circles, and then slowly recovered, and his skin instantly returned to its normal color.

After looking inside his body and finding nothing unusual, Chu Tang breathed a sigh of relief, but his heart was still very nervous, and he was a little confused about the situation just now.

"Panel transmission, as long as the value of chivalry is sufficient, it is always done overnight, it will never be muddled, and there will never be a situation of madness!" Chu Tang frowned, thinking about what happened to the abnormality.

Suddenly, he remembered what Tao Ying had said before, and he couldn't help being shocked: "The demons mentioned by Dean Tao... He also said that if the demons are together, it is difficult to improve martial arts unless they are eradicated. Could it be that I was a demon general just now?" symptoms? But why?"

Chu Tang couldn't figure out why the inner demons arose. Was it because of Nanqinghou Shizi, because of the teacher-based troupe, because of Chang Xiaoming, because of Zhao Ziyu?

Should not be!

There is no such deep bond between them!

And he is not the kind of person who will draw his sword to help when he sees an injustice!

As an exquisite egoist, how could he be born with demons because of injustice?

"Could it be that... I used the sword-drawing technique to fight against the Heavenly Flying Immortal one after another, using the power of the spiritual level, seeing the essence of the momentum, and touching the threshold of the upper three realms, so that it is easy to be mentally disturbed by the things around me. The instability of the realm, also known as the demon?"

Chu Tang could only guess like this.

He's still nervous.

Tao Ying once said that together with the inner demons, if the root of the inner demons is not completely eliminated, it will be difficult to reach the upper three realms in a lifetime.

As Chu Tang, who aspires to be the number one expert in the world, is of course afraid that this law cannot be broken by the panel.

"Demon! Demon? Demon..." Chu Tang stood up with a sigh.

Outside the window, the rain is much lighter, only the pattering rain line is hanging.

The sky has also cleared up for the most part.

He also heard the sound of struggling on the bed, and when he looked around, he found that Chang Xiaoming had woken up and was wriggling on the bed, trying to break through the sealed acupuncture points.

When Chu Tang approached the bed, Chang Xiaoming couldn't move his body, but his eyes could turn around. After looking at him for a few times, he suddenly said, "I recognize you!"

The tone is gentle and the voice is calm, just like chatting with others.

Chu Tang was taken aback, and blurted out, "Xiao Ming, how are you?"
