Chapter 513 The Truth of the World is Slowly Revealed 5k
"Really, really shameless."

Zhong Ling looked at the booklet in Li Ke's hand, her cheeks turning bright red, her heart pounding wildly, as if she were witnessing the most blasphemous scene in the world.

However, watching the beautiful and elegant woman make various movements, Zhong Ling felt that they were so wonderful, and she couldn't help but fantasize about herself and Brother Li doing the same movements. She thought that it would be even more beautiful and alluring.

Such a shameless thought made Zhong Ling cover her face, but she accidentally separated her fingers because she was still reluctant to let go and wanted to look at the picture book to imagine the scene of her Brother Li hugging her.

However, Zhong Ling didn't understand what would happen after doing all this, so in her extreme embarrassment, she subconsciously snuggled into Li Ke's arms and couldn't help but lean against his chest.

Li Ke felt a ball of burning coal enter his arms, and he tried his best to explain.

“Zhong Ling, don’t talk nonsense. This is a divine skill manual that can shake the heavens and move even ghosts to tears.”

Li Ke tried his best not to touch Zhong Ling's body, but when his hand was on the scripture, Zhong Ling finally couldn't resist and placed her hand on a picture of Li Qiushui raising her thigh, revealing a charming smile.

After pressing the pattern, Zhong Ling reacted as if she had touched a branding iron, pulling back the moment she touched it, and then spoke in a voice as soft as a mosquito's buzz.

"Brother Li! You're saying this is also martial arts?!"

The woman's arm was clearly being pulled from behind!

Zhong Ling didn't believe this was a martial arts manual!
Li Ke chuckled softly.

"You don't know this, Sister Zhongling. Ordinary people might misunderstand this action, but I know that this action can greatly open up a person's Ren and Du meridians, allowing people to unconsciously widen their Ren and Du meridians while practicing, making their true qi circulation faster and more rapid."

Zhong Ling didn't believe it, but since it was Li Ke who said it, she believed it to some extent, so she couldn't help but ask.

"Really, really?"

"of course it's true."

Li Ke chuckled and then tapped on another pattern made by Li Qiushui, which resembled a yoga pose of someone upside down with their legs spread apart.

"The person who created this martial art must have studied all the martial arts in the world. There are traces of Indian yoga in it. It uses extreme postures to adjust the position of the internal organs, thereby mobilizing the essence of the five internal organs in the body. Then, it uses internal force to stimulate it, achieving the skill of ordinary internal energy cultivation methods in a few days. Therefore, this set of internal energy cultivation requires a lot of nutrition to nourish the body, and it is not something that ordinary people can practice."

Zhong Ling nodded as if she understood, because what Li Ke said made a lot of sense. She gradually began to believe that this was indeed a profound martial arts manual, so she couldn't help but tap on another picture.

Li Ke explained it to Zhong Ling again, but as he explained, Zhong Ling became more and more interested in the manual, and her body became hotter and hotter.

So not long after, the two went to Mirror Lake to cool off. After bathing, in order to prevent Zhong Ling from catching a cold, and because Zhong Ling was very interested in the Northern Darkness Divine Art, Li Ke took out his own version of the Northern Darkness Divine Art, as well as another set of techniques that, when practiced together with the Northern Darkness Divine Art, could increase the power and aptitude of both parties, and practiced with Zhong Ling.

So, when Li Ke and Zhong Ling, dressed in a plum blossom blue dress, emerged from the valley, Zhong Ling was already nestled against Li Ke, clinging to his arm, unwilling to stray even a step away.

At this time, Zhong Ling was already considered a top-notch expert in the martial arts world. The Beiming True Qi in her body was extremely pure. However, the Beiming Divine Art she practiced was no longer the strongest function of absorbing the power of others. Its strongest function had become eternal youth and the ability to simulate any martial art in the world.

Yes, after Li Ke made some modifications and combined them with the special mental cultivation method that complemented the Beiming Divine Art, Zhong Ling's Beiming Divine Art had already acquired all the magical effects of the Xiaowuxiang Art and the Bahuang Liuhe Weiwo Duzun Art, and even surpassed the original appearance of the three manuals, the "Tianchangdijiu Bulao Changchun Art".

It is already a divine skill that can elevate one's life level, grant immortality, and maintain eternal youth!

With the addition of Li Ke's new version of Lingbo Weibu, Zhong Ling no longer has any natural enemies in this martial arts world. Although she still can't defeat figures like Li Qiushui or Qiao Feng, she can still go anywhere in the world.

However, Zhong Ling didn't care about her superb martial arts skills; she cared more about her relationship with Li Ke, so she looked at Li Ke with reluctance.

So after wasting several days on the road, and with Zhong Ling deliberately giving wrong directions a few times, Li Ke and Zhong Ling finally arrived at Wanjie Valley. Just before parting ways with Li Ke, Zhong Ling tearfully grabbed Li Ke's sleeve and revealed all the martial arts techniques of her family to him. As Li Ke left, she spoke with reluctance.

"Brother Li, it's a promise, right? After you become a Duke, you'll marry me and the other sisters."

Li Ke nodded. This was something he had to do. If it weren't for the many things he had to do, he would have stayed with Zhong Ling for another month or two. But Zhong Ling insisted that Li Ke come back when he proposed marriage, so Li Ke had no choice but to return to Bianliang alone.

Walking along the forest path, Li Ke, who was carrying the Northern Darkness Manual, felt that this book was indeed a scourge. At first, he only thought of Zhong Ling as a cute girl, but after reading it, he couldn't help himself. It was indeed a scourge that would wreak havoc on the martial arts world!

"It's really a pity to destroy it like this."

Li Ke touched the Northern Darkness Manual in his arms and decided not to destroy the book, nor did he intend to publish it to the world. Instead, he planned to keep it in his home and study it with his wives.

"But I must marry my cousins ​​as soon as I get back this time, otherwise I won't be able to get the title of Duke. Wouldn't I, Li Ke, be letting down so many beauties?"

Shaking his head, Li Ke, eager to return home, strode off. However, when he reached a small courtyard by the roadside, he saw more than a dozen strong female servants surrounding the courtyard, holding various weapons and looking at everyone in the courtyard with apprehension.

Li Ke looked curiously at the window of the courtyard, but after only one glance, a sharp arrow flew towards his head!

"How brave!"

Li Ke extended two fingers and caught the arrow. He then flicked his fingers, intending to return the arrow and kill the archer on the spot. However, considering that this was within the territory of Dali, it was not appropriate for him, as the Duke, to kill someone in the street. Therefore, he decided to cripple the archer and hand him over to Duan Zhengchun for punishment.

Thinking of this, Li Ke was about to head to the small courtyard, but just as he took a step, the leading strong woman let out a cold snort!
"That pretty boy, hurry up and scout the courtyard. If you dare utter a single word of dissent, I'll turn you into fertilizer and carefully sow you throughout the lady's garden!"

Upon hearing this, Li Ke immediately realized who this person was, and thus became aware of something.

"You also turned me into fertilizer, which means you've turned people into fertilizer more than once?"

As he spoke, Li Ke opened his folding fan, while the strong woman gave a cold laugh before speaking.

"Hmph, those bandits and robbers who coveted Miss and Madam in previous years, which one of them wasn't turned into fertilizer by me? You pretty boy, you were also attacked by that little slut, why don't you join us in dealing with that bitch! If we succeed, we can wait for you to kiss her before killing that bitch."

Upon hearing that they were river bandits and robbers, Li Ke nodded. He didn't care about their deaths, but he guessed that these people must be Madam Wang's men, and the person in the house who shot him with an arrow must be Mu Wanqing.

Madam Wang, Li Qiushui's daughter, was also Duan Zhengchun's mistress. Her daughter, Wang Yuyan, was not her husband's child but was also Duan Zhengchun's daughter. Furthermore, their family was related to a rebellious villain whom Li Ke could report but was never arrested.

Murong Fu, an extremely abstract little prince who seeks to restore his kingdom.

His desire to restore the Yan state, which had perished during the Northern and Southern Dynasties, during the Song Dynasty felt as abstract as someone shouting for the restoration of the Yuan Dynasty during the Republic of China era. Perhaps no one even knew that the very territory Murong Fu wanted to restore had once been the Yan state.

Furthermore, Murong Fu did not understand the Central Plains script; he only learned the Xianbei language and various Xianbei literatures, which basically made him illiterate in the Song Dynasty.

Moreover, not only was he law-abiding, but his family also showed no trace of armor or any industries related to copper, iron, or salt. He associated mostly with prominent local families, even fewer salt merchants, and maintained excellent relations with the government. He would even assist the government in suppressing bandits, offering credit to local officials without seeking any reward. Furthermore, he didn't develop local power or forge marriage alliances with wealthy and influential families, appearing as a reclusive gentleman who didn't care about his businesses and spent his days traveling.

Therefore, although Murong Fu's various abstract behaviors could not be hidden from the world, even the strictest prefect would not arrest such a madman as a rebel, because if he were arrested as a rebel, he would be laughed at by his colleagues in the officialdom.

However, Li Ke still felt that Murong Fu's behavior of befriending people from the martial arts world was not so abstract. After all, most people from the martial arts world belonged to sects, and as long as they could be provided with armor, these people from the martial arts world were not incapable of fighting against regular armies.

Unfortunately, Murong Fu genuinely lacked military equipment and armor, and his family wasn't particularly wealthy, rendering his framing efforts pointless. However, he was more concerned about Madam Wang, since her subordinates had mentioned using people as fertilizer, which he naturally wanted to verify.

If they were really bandits or robbers, he would kill them without hesitation; but if not, he would not be so polite.

Confiscating her property would be too lenient; however, out of respect for Prince Duan, Wang Yuyan would still be sent away.

However, just as Li Ke was pondering, the strong woman looked at Li Ke's face, her expression suddenly changed, and she hurriedly knelt down on the ground.

"This humble woman pays her respects to the Duke!"

Li Ke was stunned. He didn't expect this guy to recognize his identity, because that was practically impossible. Although he had been active in the vicinity of Suzhou, he had never seen this maid before. But what surprised him was something else.

After worshipping him, the woman immediately said something that left him completely bewildered.

"Since it is the young Duke in person, I will not disturb your good time. However, since I have seen the young Duke in person, I would like to ask that when you return to Bianliang, you visit Mandala Manor. My young lady and madam will certainly welcome you with open arms!"

After saying that, the strong woman looked at Li Ke expectantly, waiting for his answer. Li Ke, however, was somewhat confused as to why she was being told these things, so he frowned and asked.

"Was this ordered by your master? How did your master know I was here?"

However, just as he was filled with countless questions, a strange noise came from the courtyard. Li Ke's expression turned strange, while the strong woman couldn't help but smile and waved her hand, and her men quickly moved away.

But she still didn't forget to speak to Li Ke.

"When we came out, Madam and Miss did indeed give us these instructions, but... please come into the courtyard to enjoy your meal, we will take our leave now."

Having said that, without caring how many doubts Li Ke had, the strong woman waved her hand, and the people who had surrounded the small courtyard quickly retreated without any hesitation, as if their previous toughness was all fake.

Li Ke was even more puzzled and wanted to press him for more information, but the other party's words about enjoying the food and the strange sounds coming from the courtyard made Li Ke frown. So, watching the group of people leaving and the increasingly strange noises in the courtyard, he finally turned around and stepped into the courtyard.

The courtyard was very quiet, with more than a dozen crossbow bolts stuck in the ground. Li Ke entered directly through the main gate without any hesitation. Pushing open the door, he immediately saw a woman in black lying on the bed with a flushed face. She was holding a small crossbow bolt in her hand. When she saw him, she tried to raise her hand to fire the bolt, but her hand fell limply onto the bed after only a moment. The crossbow bolt also fell to the ground, no longer posing any threat to Li Ke.

This woman has a cool and aloof face, giving the impression of looking at a black rose, and also has the charm of a silly beauty, making people want to tease her.

But at this moment, the other person's face was flushed and their breath was sweet, clearly due to the effects of a special drug from the martial arts world. Moreover, after seeing the other person's face and figure clearly once again, Li Ke felt an almost identical sense of familiarity with Zhong Ling.

However, Li Ke still felt something was strange about the poison the other party had been given.

"Using this kind of drug to harm people... What kind of person is Madam Wang in this world? I feel like things are getting stranger and stranger."

Li Ke felt uneasy because this world of Tianlong was becoming increasingly different from the world of Tianlong he knew. So he reached out and grabbed the wrist of the aloof and beautiful woman, and then he realized that she had indeed been poisoned.

Li Ke, the master of the Swordsman, had taken quite a few of these poisons. Each woman claimed that her poison could only be relieved by doing certain things, but Li Ke, the master of the Swordsman, would not indulge these women.

So he pressed their pressure points several times, and then, in front of these women who kept saying that yin and yang must be balanced, he spontaneously generated electricity to detoxify them. He slapped the Miao women, led by Lan Fenghuang, in the face several times, making them understand that this kind of drug could be detoxified without yin and yang balance!

Therefore, Li Ke was very familiar with how to use internal energy to detoxify this kind of poison. With the activation of internal energy, the black-clad woman's complexion improved a lot, and her hazy eyes regained their clarity. However, when she saw Li Ke looking at her face in thought, she subconsciously touched her face, only to find that she had only touched her smooth cheek!

She looked at Li Ke, and a strange sense of intimacy and familiarity made her draw her knife. She wanted to give Li Ke a hard blow, but she couldn't bring herself to do it. Moreover, when she thought about how she had only managed to regain consciousness because of this man's treatment, she turned her head away, not daring to look into Li Ke's eyes or figure. She simply closed her eyes and spoke.

"You'd better leave quickly. My master told me that I will kill anyone who looks at my face... You, you've seen my face. If you don't leave now, I'll kill you."

Li Ke was almost laughing in anger. He shook the crossbow in his hand and spoke to the woman in front of him.

“But you did come here to kill me. I just glanced at you out of curiosity, and you tried to kill me with a crossbow. So I came here to arrest you and report you to the authorities. I didn’t care whether you wanted to continue killing me or not.”

Upon hearing this, the woman froze on the spot, then gave a bitter laugh.

“Very well, although it’s just death anyway, at least we won’t have to kill a good person like you. It’s just a pity that I couldn’t find the list of forbidden martial arts books for my master, and I couldn’t avenge him. I, Mu Wanqing, am ashamed to be a disciple, but I can’t repay my master’s kindness. It’s really better to die.”

Li Ke froze on the spot and asked the question instinctively.

"The Catalogue of Forbidden Martial Arts Books?"

Mu Wanqing was also taken aback, not expecting that Li Ke didn't even know this?

"You...you didn't know about this?"

"What do I know?"

The woman named Mu Wanqing never expected that Li Ke wouldn't even know such a thing, so she spoke up subconsciously.

"It's the Wang family of Gusu. The women of the Wang family throughout the ages have been well-read and learned about ancient and modern times. The previous generation of the Wang family even collected a wide range of martial arts manuals and compiled 103,000 martial arts manuals into a book, which became an unprecedented and forbidden book catalog of martial arts. This is known throughout the world... Why do you have such high martial arts skills but know nothing about this?"

Li Ke's lips twitched, and she couldn't help but ask.

"Is there a hand technique in the world that can counter all martial arts techniques?"

Then, Li Ke saw Mu Wanqing give him a look as if he were an idiot, and then she answered directly.

"Isn't that the Tianshan Plum Blossom Hand from the Tianshan Sect?"

Li Ke: "…………"

So which version of Tian Long Ba Bu is this?
