Zongwu: Our Rivers and Lakes

Chapter 220
Songshan, Shaolin.

Sengliao.

A short stature, thin face, and kind-looking white-bearded old monk slowly put down the letter in his hand, and sighed softly, "Everyone, do you think this is a great repayment pill, should you give it or not?"

"Senior brother, the Great Returning Pill is expensive and the process is complicated. It is a priceless Qidan. Even you, senior brother, have not taken it. The devil of the Sun Moon Sect gave us tens of thousands of taels of silver and wanted a few. Isn't that the same as stealing?"

The head bitter monk of Yaowangzhuang spoke angrily.

"Junior Brother Mo Qi, Mo Qi, aren't we discussing this?"

Abbot Xuanci pressed his hand, he also understood the temperament of his junior brother, so he quickly said a few words of comfort.

"Senior brother."

The head monk of Prajna Hall, Cheng Guang, took a look at the bitter monk who was flushed with anger because of his distress for Da Huan Dan, and said slowly, "Master Kongwen and the others are still in the hands of the Sun Moon Sect, if we don't give it, it will cause anger." If we leave them, uncle and the others are afraid that they will suffer poisonous hands..."

heard.

The bitter monk choked for a moment, and snorted angrily, but he didn't refute.

"Junior Brother Chengguang said he cares, and he still has to give the Great Repayment Pill, but he can't let the Sun Moon Sect take it."

Abbot Xuanci smiled and nodded, and said earnestly, "That's why I invite you here, I also want to discuss with you, how to give this Great Repayment Pill, how many pills to give, who to send and so on..."

...

...

Desperate Valley.

Lakeside Manor.

General Long Peng lay down and rested for a long time, when he heard a knock on the door, he suddenly opened his eyes and angrily said, "Who!"

quiet--

The people outside the door seemed to be taken aback, and they didn't speak for a while.

"This subordinate has no intention of disturbing Da Keqing's rest, please forgive me, and this subordinate will step back."

"Well……"

Long Peng rubbed his brows. It was indeed a bit cold at the end of autumn and winter. He took off his cloak and put it on, and opened the door.

"what's up?"

Jin Feng raised her eyes slightly, and saw a young man with sword eyebrows and phoenix eyes, eyes half closed with red brows, leaning sickly on the door frame, with light white inner clothes, dark cloak, and gray hair casually falling down.

The sun was warm, falling on his pale and bloodless face, shining slightly, the whole person looked very frail, without the usual gloomy and harshness at all.

"What's wrong, talk?"

With a flash of light in Long Peng's eyes, his temperament suddenly became stronger, and he asked condescendingly.

Jin Feng was startled, and hastily lowered her head, "Reporting to Your Excellency, the people from Vulture Palace have found them, and they are now confronting my disciples at the entrance of the valley, whether to let them enter the valley..."

"Did they come here after all? I thought they turned Zhongnan Mountain upside down..."

Long Peng was slightly stunned, thought for a while, and said calmly, "Tell them that there is no place to live in the Valley of Unrequited Love, and it can only accommodate three or four people. For the rest, go to the inn on the official road to the east."

"By the way, let Alang contact the spies everywhere to see if there is any abnormality. This place is not far from the place where the Yuan army is stationed, so don't be dumped."

"My subordinate understands."

Jin Feng lowered his head, raised his foot and wanted to leave, stopped again, hesitated for a while and said, "Master, my subordinate ordered someone to cook ginger soup, do you need a bowl to drive away the wind and cold?"

"This……"

Long Peng really felt that his body was a little uncomfortable, but he didn't refuse, "Let me come and send me a bowl."

"Yes."

Jin Feng cupped her hands and stepped back quickly.

call--

The autumn wind blows, taking away some of the sweltering heat.

Longpeng's clothes were bulging, and he looked at the sun hanging high above the nine heavens, squinted his eyes, coughed a few times, returned to the room, drank a bowl of steaming ginger soup, felt better, and lay on the bed. I got on the bed, wanting to sleep back in the cage.

pity.

He woke up all of a sudden, but it was difficult to fall asleep, he tossed and turned on the bed for a while, but he couldn't fall asleep in the end.

"Forget it..."

Long Peng sighed, touched his abdomen, he was not hungry, but he was a bit greedy, got up and dressed, thought about what to do with the couple, and when he came to the kitchen, a gust of hot wind greeted him immediately.

"This... this subordinate pays homage to Da Keqing!!"

A few disciples of God Sect who were busy kneading noodles and boiling water were startled when they saw the person coming, they hurriedly wiped their hands and went up to meet him.

"There's no need to be too polite. There's food here. I'm a little hungry."

"I'm going to report back, Your Excellency, I have to wait another hour for dinner..."

Before the disciple of the God Sect had finished speaking, another older disciple rushed to talk, "Your Excellency, this subordinate will cook right away, and it will be ready soon, please wait a moment, Sir!!"

"That's troublesome, but don't delay the brothers from eating."

"No delay, no delay."

"Ah."

Long Peng nodded slightly, put an ingot of gold on the table, and then turned to leave.

"Boss, this gold..."

The disciples of a kind of god religion in the kitchen looked at the golden, almost drooling.

"Gold what gold?"

The elder divine disciple snorted twice, put the gold in his bag, and took out some broken silver, and divided them among them.

"Xiao Fang, watch it carefully and study hard. This is our Da Keqing. If it is another elder or something, if I hear what you said just now, I must teach you a lesson."

"Okay, okay, everyone, work harder, let Da Keqing have a taste of our craftsmanship, don't lose the chain at this time."

……

Nothing to do.

Long Peng was in the mood to wander around and appreciate the style of the Unfeeling Valley.

However, Gongsun Lue, who was leading the way, was not in such a good mood. He was always in a state of tension, like a light on his back, and he was already sweating profusely after a while.

Sure enough, happiness is built on the pain of others.

A secluded gazebo.

Gongsun Lue offered a cup of tea and asked, "Mr. Long, do you want to go shopping?"

"Are you afraid of me?"

Gongsun Lue's delicate body was slightly stiff, avoiding Long Peng's sight, and nodded honestly.

"It's true that Lue is afraid."

"Then you go back."

Long Peng put down the teacup, with a calm expression, walked to the rock hanging above the waterfall, stretched his eyes overlooking the thousands of miles of mountains and rivers outside the valley, closed his eyes and put his hands behind his back, feeling the nature.

In the gazebo, Gongsun Lue raised her head and glanced at the white-haired young man above the waterfall, and sighed, "Miss Long seems to like standing there too. She stands there for the whole afternoon, and I don't know what the fun is..."

Even though he said so, Gongsun Lu'e didn't intend to go up, he poured a cup of tea silently, and was sent back to the wing by two disciples of the God Sect, one on the left and one on the right.

to evening.

Long Peng walked around the valley, perhaps because of relaxation, his pale face looked better.

"Little Master Uncle!"

As the shouts of surprise sounded, a Taoist nun in Taoist robes, with a pretty face and a pretty nympho smile ran over.

"Little uncle, why did you come here? I've been waiting for you here for a long time."

The corner of Long Peng's mouth twitched, but he didn't want to see this enthusiastic and over-zealous nephew.

"What's your business?"

"Little uncle, how can you say that about him? Is he like this?"

Hong Lingbo pinched the corner of the dragon coat, his body swayed, and he said coquettishly with his sweet and greasy voice.

"Don't mess this up."

Long Peng rolled his eyes, pulled off his sleeves mercilessly, and was almost thrown away by Hong Lingbo, "I don't know you yet? Go to the Three Treasures Hall for everything, weasel pays New Year greetings to chickens, talk about things if you have something to say."

Hong Lingbo did practice the lightness kung fu given by Long Peng not badly, and quickly stabilized his body, but he looked at Long Peng with a heartbroken expression.

"Little uncle, how can you bear it? Are you going to attack your lovely nephew?"

"Can you tell me?"

The veins in the corners of Long Peng's eyes twitched wildly, and he couldn't take it anymore, "Come here!!"

"do not……"

Seeing that he was going to come for real, Hong Lingbo didn't dare to get under the skin. He quickly calmed down, lowered his head, and said flatteringly, "Little uncle, do you have any martial arts that make people suddenly become stronger?"

"Do you want to learn "The Dafa of Attracting Stars"?"

Hong Lingbo's eyes lit up when he heard the words, and he asked with full expectation, "Is it okay?"

"Wash up and go to sleep, there is everything in the dream."

Hong Lingbo shrank all of a sudden, pouted his red lips, and stomped his feet, "Little uncle, you..."

"Stop, someone, throw her out for me."

Long Peng raised his hand and greeted him, and immediately several big men walked over.

"Don't don't..."

Hong Lingbo was startled, his scalp went numb, and then he calmed down.

"Little uncle, I just want to learn a quick and powerful martial art, preferably the kind that becomes as good as my master as soon as I learn it..."

"You think too much."

Long Peng rolled his eyes and asked, "Tell me, why do you suddenly ask me to learn martial arts?"

"This one……"

Hong Lingbo's eyes dodged twice, and his tone became low, "Two days ago I fought with my junior sister, and found that I couldn't beat her. Today, I made an appointment to discuss after dinner, and then, somehow, the news got out and let Master Got it, she told me that if I can't win, I will be abolished and expelled from the school."

"So cruel?"

"Master said that I have been a beginner for a long time. If I can't beat my junior sister, I will be a waste. She, Li Mochou, does not have a waste apprentice..."

Long Peng raised his eyebrows, thinking that this was indeed Li Mochou's character, he shook his head helplessly.

"You wouldn't tell Martial Nephew Lu that if she were to be careless during a duel, she would lose to you by one trick and it would be fine."

"I went to discuss it with my junior sister!" Hong Lingbo hurriedly said, "But I was bumped into by Master accidentally..."

"You... are very smart."

Long Peng was speechless, and sighed, "Forget it, show off the martial arts you know, and I'll see if there is any improvement."

heard.

Hong Lingbo was overjoyed, and quickly pulled out the three-foot long sword from his waist, and used it with every move.

……

The setting sun, reflecting half of the sky, was fiery red.

Long Peng was lazily leaning on the reclining chair, drinking tea and eating pastries, watching Hong Lingbo who was sweating profusely, speaking and giving pointers from time to time, which was quite pleasant.

"Little uncle, is my practice useful..."

Hong Lingbo, who was sweating profusely, couldn't help but look at Long Peng. Feeling uncomfortable for a while, he simply stopped, licked his tongue, and swallowed twice, "Little uncle, is this cake delicious?"

Long Peng ate the last bite of pastry solemnly.

"Unappetizing."

Hong Lingbo was speechless: It's not delicious, you still ate a plate? ! !

At this time.

A woman with a faint tiredness between her brows walked up to Long Peng holding a bowl of black soup.

"The medicine must be taken on time, otherwise how can the body recover."

Long Peng pursed his lips, stood up, drank the bowl of bitter soup, and said, "Lingsu, I'm so sorry for you."

"How can I be lucky."

Cheng Lingsu shook his head, and looked at the pale face with distress, "You haven't had a good rest since you left Tianshan, and the hard-working people will also suffer. After dinner, you should go to rest quickly."

Long Peng nodded slightly, pondered for a while, and asked, "Senior Sister...how is it..."

Cheng Lingsu's face was slightly stiff, and his eyes were closed, a little dim.

"It's... not bad..."

With such keen eyesight, Long Peng immediately noticed her abnormality, frowned, took a deep breath, and said slowly, "Lingsu, don't lie to me."

heard.

Cheng Lingsu's delicate body trembled slightly, and she pursed her lips tightly. At this moment, Long Peng said loudly, "Jinfeng."

"Subordinates are here!"

A tall and slender woman ran over using lightness kung fu, "I don't know why the Great Keqing called his subordinates here?"

"How's the situation with Xiaolongnv?"

Jin Feng was stunned for a moment, and then said, "This subordinate has never seen her go out, so she should be in the pharmacy all the time."

Long Peng nodded slightly, feeling relieved, and turned to look at Cheng Lingsu, "Lingsu, what's wrong?"

After struggling several times, Cheng Lingsu slowly raised his head, his eyes were slightly red.

"Sister Long has not only the three kinds of poison you mentioned before, but also two kinds of strange poisons that have been fused into her body. After tonight's midnight, I'm afraid she will be poisoned. However, the jade bee jelly and cold pool you mentioned last night White fish is indeed effective and can alleviate the invasion of the inhibitory toxin, so it may be fine.

I didn't tell you before because I was afraid that you would worry and waste your body. I...I don't...I didn't mean to lie to you. Don't be angry. "

"It's okay."

Long Peng's brows eased a little, and he also relaxed a little, and asked puzzledly, "Do you know what the other two strange poisons are?"

"One should be the strange poison in you, the bone-piercing cold, and the other is a bit like the Gu poison from Miaojiang. Its temperament is yang, and it can be regarded as mutually reinforcing and restraining the bone-piercing cold. But what exactly is it? Master Tianzhu and I have no idea. clear……"

heard.

The dragon and phoenix eyes were closed, and a cold light could be seen faintly. He thought quickly and asked, "Who poisoned her?"

"Sister Long said that before she came to Heartless Valley, she was chased and killed by a group of men in black. These two poisons should have been poisoned at that time."

"The man in black... Could it be Heishi? No, if Heishi is on a mission, he should report to me in advance.

Could it be... the dark river?This is possible, but, isn't the rivers and lakes in Beili now in chaos, could it be over, or is it that the dark river saw that the situation was not good, gave up the Red King, and went directly to the Yuan court?If this..."

Long Peng thought about it for a while, then suddenly his head hurt, he let out a muffled snort, his mouth and nose were bleeding, his body shook a few times, and he almost fell down.

"Dragon Peng!!!"

"Little Master Uncle!"

"Your Excellency!!"

……

Everyone exclaimed for a while, and they didn't feel relieved until they saw Long Peng standing still again.

Cheng Lingsu still looked worried and solemn.
