Start with a red name

Xu Peng did not do it himself, but instructed another member of the Xu family to close Xu Yao's abdomen.

This person's ten slender fingers were also very dexterous. Without the help of any additional auxiliary lines, he simply "used local materials" and used Xu Yao's own body tissue to quickly sew the cut chest together.

Before the chest was completely closed, Geng Xuan took a last look at Xu Yao's chest and saw that his heart was beating quite strongly.

In addition to the heart, the lungs also begin to "wake up", slowly regaining their functions, the chest begins to rise and fall slightly, and slight breathing begins to appear in the nose.

From Geng Xuan's perspective, the "ripples" emanating from Xu Yao, which had originally been gradually thinning and whose activity could dissipate at any time, had now recovered to a level that was stronger than that of most of the Xu family members present.

And as time goes by, it is still growing steadily.

It was not until this moment that Xu Peng's expression completely relaxed.

It can be seen that the actions just now did not consume much physical energy for Xu Peng, but it consumed him mentally at all.

Xu Peng took a wooden bowl, looked around, and found a pot of cold tea in the corner. He poured half a bowl of cold tea into it, then took out a small porcelain bottle from his arms, poured out a essence pill from it, and handed it to a member of the Xu family next to him, saying:

"Let him drink it slowly."

The man took the wooden bowl and poured the potion containing an Essence Pill into Xu Yao's mouth bit by bit.

Geng Xuan then said to Xu Peng:

"I didn't expect you to be a medical genius!"

After hearing this, Xu Peng showed a look of astonishment on his face, and then he shook his head and smiled bitterly:

"Boss Su, please stop slandering me. I'm just hearing things from others and copying what they say.

...If we really want to talk about ability, then the one who has the ability is not me, but Wuyou Palace."

"Wuyou Palace?" This time it was Geng Xuan who showed a look of surprise.

Xu Peng turned his head and looked at him, saying:
"Boss Su has a mortal feud with Wuyou Palace, but you seem...unaware of Wuyou Palace's past?"

Geng Xuan thought for a moment and said, "Besides what is widely known, could it be that Wuyou Palace has any other remarkable past?"

Xu Peng nodded slightly, then shook his head slightly and said:
"It's not that great, but if you say it's unknown, there aren't many people who know the inside story."

"In the beginning, Wuyou Palace was not what you see now. It was a force whose purpose was to cure illnesses and save lives."

“At that time, the Wuyou Palace was not called the Wuyou Palace, but the Miaoshou Pavilion.

As early as the beginning of the reconstruction of Yuanjing, it had already established itself in Yuanjing.

He is good at treating various metal injuries and bone setting.

There are two magical skills that outsiders talk about with great interest.

One is to use the organs of close relatives for transplantation and replacement."

Geng Xuan said thoughtfully, "Is that the same technique you just used?"

Xu Peng uttered a "huh" and said:
"What kind of skills do I have? It's all thanks to Xu Yao's strong foundation, which can withstand my torture, and the help of so many Xu family members.

If his strength was a little weaker, there wouldn't be so many Xu family members who could help him... hehe."

Geng Xuan thought that these "Xu family members who can help" should not only include the living Xu family members who act as blood supply bags, but also the dead Xu family members who provide a large number of internal organs.

“…The skills of Miaoshouguan are much better than mine.

I can't really explain how amazing it is, but it's definitely much better than my half-baked skills," said Xu Peng.

"Hmm, using the organs of close relatives for transplantation and replacement...what's another magical ability?"

“Another one is limb reattachment.

Even if the hands and feet are cut off, as long as they are intact and not too long ago, Miaoshou Pavilion can reattach them. "

Geng Xuan suddenly asked, "Organs can be transplanted from one person to another, and so can severed limbs... Then can we transplant someone else's limbs onto someone who has had them transplanted?"

Hearing Geng Xuan's sudden question, Xu Peng was stunned for a moment, looking surprised.

It seemed that he had never thought about this question before Geng Xuan asked this question.

He shook his head and said:

“I haven’t really thought about this question.

...However, since the heart, liver and lungs can be transplanted, hands and feet can also be reattached.

So logically speaking, transplanting someone else's hands and feet shouldn't be a problem."

Geng Xuan nodded, "Continue."

“At that time, Yuanzhou was still a place where heroes from all walks of life competed for supremacy.

Yuanjing was plagued by constant wars and frequently changed hands.

The forces inside are constantly changing like a revolving lantern.

However, because of the special nature of Miaoshou Pavilion, no matter who takes over Yuanjing, they will not be expelled and will be treated with special leniency."

“However, the uniqueness of Miaoshouguan has both made it a success and allowed it to take root in the ever-turbulent Yuanjing.

But it also limits it.

No matter who takes control of Yuanjing, they will try their best to win over Miaoshouguan while also being extremely cautious, forbidding them from engaging in any field other than healing and saving lives."

"Moreover, every time Yuanjing changes hands, the power of Miaoshou Pavilion will suffer a bloodbath.

Or they might be harmed by defeated soldiers or others who took advantage of the situation.

Or maybe it was the military leader who originally controlled Yuanjing, who was determined to destroy anything he couldn't get.

Therefore, although Miaoshou Pavilion survived the constant wars and repeated changes of ownership in Yuanjing, its strength barely grew at all, and on the contrary, it faced the risk of its inheritance being cut off several times."

"In the end, I survived thanks to my cunning ways, sufficient survival experience, and luck."

"Until the time when King Liu Wu ruled Yuanjing, Miaoshou Hall also welcomed a very talented owner."

"King Liu Wu?" Geng Xuan murmured softly, feeling that the title sounded familiar.

Xu Peng reminded him, "The armor you wore earlier, Boss Su, if I'm not mistaken, was modeled after the heavy armor worn by King Liu Wu's personal attendant."

Geng Xuan suddenly realized and finally remembered that this happened.

However, the next moment, his expression froze and he said, "Wait, you said...imitation?"

Xu Peng nodded and said:
“Yeah, who would sell a genuine product?

Those items that are said to be authentic, as long as they are openly auctioned, are basically imitations.

Specifically used to deceive... cough, cough cough...

Boss Su doesn't have to worry, there is no problem with the quality.

From craftsmanship to materials, there will be no adulteration.

Otherwise, these things wouldn't be allowed into auction houses at all. No auction house would do something that would damage its reputation."

Geng Xuan nodded calmly and said, "Continue."

Xu Peng coughed again and said:
"King Liu Wu ruled Yuanjing for more than 40 years, making him the longest ruler of Yuanjing after Emperor Yuan.

For this reason, King Liu Wu spent a lot of time on the internal governance of Yuanjing.

Yuanjing's complete city defenses, the intricate and indispensable underground waterways, and the division of streets and neighborhoods were all completed during the period when King Liu Wu was in charge of Yuanjing.

Even today, more than three hundred years later, the Yuan capital still largely maintains the basic structure established during the reign of King Liu Wu."

"In addition, King Liu Wu also took drastic measures to clean up the streets of Yuanjing."

Xu Peng paused and said:
"Before King Liu Wu entered Yuanjing, Yuanjing was becoming increasingly unregulated and full of hidden dangers.

The filthy and corrupt Yuan capital's market was even more chaotic and complicated.

To this end, King Liu Wu directly mobilized the army and carried out several rounds of bloody cleansing of the Yuanjing market with bloody means. "

"Did he succeed?" Geng Xuan asked.

"You can say it was a success, or you can say it was a failure," said Xu Peng.

"How to say?"

"During the reign of King Liu Wu, the capital of Yuan did regain its order and prosperity.

But that is just an appearance, it is Yuanjing on earth."

"The Yuanjing on the ground? Is there a Yuanjing underground?"

"Yes, there is another underground Yuanjing beneath the above-ground Yuanjing."

Having said that, Xu Peng looked at Geng Xuan and asked:
"Boss Su, just think about it, just in this small Qingyuanji, there is an intricate network of tunnels underground.

What do you think of the Yuan capital, which suffered the most from the Overlord, has the most densely populated population and the most talented people?

What is the situation underground?"

Hearing this question, Geng Xuan was stunned for a moment, and then he couldn't help but let out a hiss.

He had never thought about this problem before.

But after Xu Peng's reminder, he just thought about it a little bit in his mind and couldn't help but gasp.

"Long before King Liu Wu started to clean up the market in Yuanjing, an underground black market similar to every market had already formed in the tunnels under Yuanjing, but it was much more complete and dangerous.

After King Liu Wu began to use his army to thoroughly reorganize Yuanjing on the ground, all the people were killed except for a small number of them.

Most of the filth hidden in the city flowed into the underground of Yuanjing through those underground tunnels.

Because the underground environment is too complicated, if the army is led in rashly, not only will they get lost, but they may also be harmed by someone with ulterior motives, causing the tunnel to collapse and everyone to die inside.

Therefore, King Liu Wu's forces usually stopped outside these tunnels, and he dared not lead his army deep into them. For this reason, those who were chased by King Liu Wu's army and cried for their parents called those underground tunnels "Worry-Free Caves."

It means that once you enter, your life will be safe.”

Hearing this, Geng Xuan narrowed his eyes and said:

"Worry-free Cave? What does this have to do with Miaoshou Pavilion and Wuyou Palace?"

"That's a huge deal."

Xu Peng sighed and continued explaining.

“Although, after they fled into Wuyou Cave, they were no longer hunted down by King Liu Wu’s army.

They can survive underground in Yuanjing.

But there is no grain produced underground in Yuanjing.

Fortunately there is underground water, otherwise I would have died of thirst long ago.

Even so, as King Liu Wu strictly controlled food and other supplies on the ground, large-scale movement of unknown destinations was strictly prohibited.

Those who flocked into Wuyou Cave in large numbers to escape King Liu Wu's pursuit, plus those who had been hiding there for a long time, soon began a fierce and cruel competition.

It’s not just people killing each other, it’s people eating each other.”

“However, Yuanjing is so large that even with King Liu Wu’s ability, he can only control the large-scale flow of grain.

He cannot supervise small-scale flows.”

“It’s impossible for him to find every entrance and exit and suffocate everyone inside.

Besides, the holes were dug by humans, so if necessary, we can just dig a new one."

"In the later years of King Liu Wu's reign, firstly, King Liu Wu was getting older and his spirit was no longer as fierce as when he was young.

Second, after brutal elimination, the number of people in Wuyou Cave dropped sharply and the pressure was greatly reduced.

Their style of doing things has also become more low-key and hidden.

There was peace for a while, both above and below the ground."

"After King Liu Wu died, Yuanjing went through several years of chaos and was taken over by a new hero.

This time, Miaoshou Pavilion did not seem to be as lucky as before. Before a new hero could take over, it disappeared during the chaotic years.

Many people feel sorry about this.

But also around that time, an underground force called Wuyou Palace emerged.”

After hearing this, Geng Xuan gradually grasped some of the clues in his mind.

"The Miaoshou Pavilion has undergone a makeover and turned into the Wuyou Palace?"

"Ah."

"And how did you know that?"

"This will go back more than a hundred years."

At this point, Xu Peng looked at Geng Xuan and asked, "Boss Su, do you know Meng Tiexin?"

Geng Xuan's eyes flickered when he heard this, and he asked, "Are you talking about Meng Tiexin, who founded the Red Heart Gang?"

Xu Peng nodded and said:
"Since Gang Leader Su knows this person, then this matter will be much simpler."

"Over a hundred years after King Liu Wu's death and the rise of Meng Tiexin's Chixin Gang, Yuanzhou was still plagued by wars and chaos as military leaders clashed for supremacy.

Although Wuyou Palace has gained some fame, it is still just an underground force.

Moreover, he often committed assassinations, gang-on-gang espionage, and thefts of children and girls.

But overall, they act very low-key and with great discretion, and never attack those they shouldn't.

In the eyes of those military leaders, it was just a minor fight and a minor problem.

In addition, as long as the hidden dangers underground in Yuanjing cannot be eradicated, even if we make great efforts to destroy Wuyou Palace, other forces will still be born underground in Yuanjing.

Even King Liu Wu couldn't do it, and in the end it was left unresolved.

Other military leaders naturally wouldn't put their energy into this."

“Under this low-key and restrained approach, Wuyou Palace survived the most dangerous period for them.

After Yuanzhou had gone through more than 300 years of hardships, the game of military leader competition was gradually abandoned by everyone.

Gangs, guilds, families and other forces began to rise one after another and dominate their own destiny.

For Wuyou Palace, which had been trapped in the underground tunnel of Yuanjing, the days of living cautiously under the tiger's butt finally came to an end. "

"As the saying goes, things will turn into the opposite when they reach their extremes. I have been feeling frustrated for hundreds of years..."

Having said this, Xu Peng paused and continued:
"If we also include the Miaoshou Pavilion period, the Wuyou Palace, which had been suppressed for more than 300 years, can finally live a life where they can breathe freely.

Not only are they coming out of Yuanjing's underground more and more, creating more chaos on the ground, but they are also expanding outwards wantonly, acting more and more ostentatiously. "

At this point, Xu Peng showed a strange look on his face and shook his head:
"But Wuyou Palace didn't enjoy such a good life for just a few years before it hit a wall.

This iron plate is Meng Tiexin, who rose from the grassroots.

People often point out that his final achievement was only the perfection of three realms, with two realms of refining blood and refining marrow lacking, and say that he could not be ranked on the same level as Chai Yutang, Wu Hongjiu, Duan Xingzhou and others who had perfected five realms.

But they overlooked that Chai Yutang's rise was due to the wonderful book "Spring Silkworm Classic", and Wu Hongjiu's achievement was also due to his luck in obtaining a finger of the Overlord.

Almost without exception, other people who have achieved perfection in the five realms either had amazing adventures or possessed an extraordinary inheritance before their early rise.

Or maybe they have been guided by a famous teacher since childhood and laid a solid foundation from the very beginning.

Meng Tiexin suffered from his humble background, and did not lay a solid foundation in his early years, which even left him with hidden dangers that could damage his foundation.

There was no adventure worth mentioning in his life.

On the contrary, because of his personality, he has enemies all over the world."

At this point, Xu Peng opened his mouth, laughed, and said:
“That’s a bit off topic. What I want to say is that although Meng Tiexin’s final achievement was only the third level of perfection.

But his talent and ability are in no way inferior to those legends of past generations who have achieved perfection in the five realms.

Their actual combat capabilities are in no way inferior to those who have reached the fifth level of perfection."

"Meng Tiexin hated evil all his life and could not tolerate any grain of sand in his eyes.

Meeting him, the Wuyou Palace, which had only been in existence for a few years, was like running into its nemesis."

“Everything that Wuyou Palace did was what Meng Tiexin hated the most.

...There is a saying that Meng Tiexin actually prefers to travel the world alone, and at the beginning, he had no intention of creating a force.

What ultimately prompted him to create the Chixin Gang was that the power of Wuyou Palace expanded too quickly and he could not defeat them all by himself.

That’s how the Red Heart Gang came into being.”

Geng Xuan suddenly realized that he had never expected that there was such a twist behind this simple sentence in "Cold Window Chat".

I don’t know whether the author intended to write it in a concise and simple manner or whether he was not clear about the details.

"When Meng Tiexin was alive, Wuyou Palace was almost brought to the brink of destruction by him, and it was even more miserable than when King Liu Wu was alive.

Its tentacles that extended to various places in Yuanzhou were completely cut off, and the ground of Yuanjing also disappeared without a trace, completely retracting into the underground.

But even so, he still couldn't escape Meng Tiexin's relentless pursuit.

King Liu Wu did not dare to send a large army deep into the enemy's territory, but Meng Tiexin had no such concerns.

He even lingered in the underground tunnel of Yuanjing for a long time, and completely drove Wuyou Palace away from Wuyou Cave."

"He personally killed three of the Palace Masters of Wuyou Palace."

"The first palace master who died in his hands was over sixty years old, the second was over forty years old, and the third was less than thirty years old...

One can only imagine how dire the situation was at Wuyou Palace at the time. They couldn't even produce a proper Palace Master, and their inheritance was about to be cut off."

"At that time, the Wuyou Palace was like a candle in the wind, which could go out at any time."

"Then why didn't it go out?"

Xu Peng said:
“Because they have changed their appearance once again, the Miaoshou Pavilion, which had disappeared for more than a hundred years, has reappeared.

Some of them escaped Meng Tiexin's relentless pursuit under the pretext of curing illnesses and saving lives and doing charity.

The other part relies on their special skills such as organ transplantation and bone setting to seek shelter in other forces in Yuanjing."

"Are there people from Wuyou Palace who have sneaked into your Xu family?" Geng Xuan asked.

Xu Peng nodded and said, "Yes."

"Did you realize the connection between Wuyou Palace and Miaoshou Pavilion at that time?" Geng Xuan asked again.

"Although they are clever, we are not stupid. We can be fooled once, but we can't be fooled twice.

It's not just our Xu family, other Yuanjing forces have gradually come to understand, sooner or later," said Xu Peng.

"If that's the case, why don't you take advantage of the situation and kill them?

Instead, they were so tacitly in agreement that they provided them with the most crucial protection when they were at their most desperate.

Are you all timely rain that helps those in need?" Geng Xuan asked sincerely, his face full of confusion.

After hearing this, Xu Peng did not answer, but remained silent.

Geng Xuan stared at Xu Peng, and after a while, he suddenly spoke again, saying:
"Compared to the measured Wuyou Palace, you should be more upset with Meng Tiexin, who caused such a commotion in Yuanjing and lingered there for so long just for a 'mere' Wuyou Palace, right?" (End of this chapter)
