Zongwu: Eavesdropping on the inner voices, the female warriors have become strange

"Ah? Why?" Zhong Ling was a little surprised.

Chen Liu said, "The old monster Ding Chunqiu from the Xingxiu Sect simply used the Hua Gong Dafa to dissolve the internal energy that others had painstakingly cultivated, and she was labeled a demon by the Jianghu people. But our method can absorb the internal energy that others have painstakingly cultivated and use it for yourself. Do you want to become a female demon that everyone in the Jianghu hates and hunts down?"

"Uh……"

That's right! Zhong Ling also thought of this and suddenly felt a little guilty. She didn't want to be a female devil, but a female knight was fine.

"Besides, the Beiming Divine Art isn't invincible. If the opponent's Qi is high enough, you won't be able to absorb it even if you can," Chen Liu warned. "Also, the technique we're practicing is a bit unorthodox, strictly speaking. We absolutely cannot let anyone know about it, otherwise we'll definitely be labeled as thieves and villains who everyone loves."

"Loved by everyone?" Zhong Ling was a little confused.

"There's a saying that goes 'love and hate each other!'" Chen Liu laughed and said, "How can I express my love for you if I don't kill you?"

"Hehe!" Zhong Ling rolled her eyes and said tentatively with a smile: "Brother Chen Liu, it would be nice if we could become a pair of thieves that everyone loves. That way, we can travel the world together."

"No thanks!" Chen Liu shook his head repeatedly, saying, "I don't want to be hunted down and killed wherever I go. How can we live in peace then?"

Chen Liu muttered to himself, "If I become a big devil in the martial arts world that everyone hates, how can I still seduce a female hero?"

Zhong Ling: ...

"Sister Ling'er, you must remember that this technique must not be known to anyone, not even your parents, okay?" Chen Liu warned with a serious expression.

"Can't I tell my parents either?" Zhong Ling asked.

"No!" Chen Liu muttered in his heart: Your father is not your biological father, and your mother is Duan Zhengchun's bootlicker, the kind who climbs into his bed as soon as they meet.

Zhong Ling: ...

"So we can only cultivate on our own? We can't absorb other people's internal energy?" Zhong Ling was a little depressed. After all, cultivating on her own was too slow, and it wouldn't be as fast as absorbing others' internal energy. If she continued to absorb, she would soon become a congenital master, a master master, or even a grand master.

Chen Liu thought for a moment and said, "It's not that you can't absorb it, but you have to be selective. For example, it's okay to absorb rapists, villains, etc. But remember to kill the person after absorbing it. Don't let anyone know that you can absorb their skills. There are still several super masters alive in the Xiaoyao Sect. It's possible that Xiaoyaozi is still alive. If that guy is still alive, I estimate that he is at least a master of the Heavenly Man Realm. If they knew that our sect's skills had leaked out, they would definitely come to hunt us down."

"I understand, Brother Chenliu. I will never inhale randomly." Zhong Ling was shocked and nodded repeatedly.

Although he had already obtained the Bei Ming Divine Art and Ling Bo Wei Bu, one of the main purposes of this trip had been achieved. The other was to find the Zhen Long chess game and solve it. Chen Liu found the Zhen Long chess game in another stone chamber, but his chess skills were not very good. Even if he knew the solution, he could not solve it.

Chen Liu stared at the Zhenlong chess game and pondered, "Should I go find someone to help me solve it? But who should I go to?"

"Perhaps I could go find Duan Yu. Duan Yu, that licks the dog, is quite good at chess. Although he can't solve it, I can give him a heads-up. As long as I have the reminder, I believe it shouldn't be difficult for Duan Yu to solve it with his chess skills. Then I'll write down the steps to solve it, and we can go to Leigu Mountain. If I had the Beiming True Qi that Wuyazi has refined countless times over the past seventy years, I should be able to become a master or even a grand master very quickly, right? By then, no matter how dangerous the world is, I will have a certain amount of self-protection. As long as I don't encounter a master in the Heavenly Man Realm, I think with my Lingbo Weibu lightness skills, it shouldn't be difficult to escape, right?"

Zhong Ling, standing a step behind Chen Liu, listened carefully to his thoughts and thought, "So Brother Chen Liu's next stop is to go to Leigu Mountain to find Wuyazi... Uh, Wuyazi? Isn't he the master of this Langhuan Blessed Land? Oh, so Brother Chen Liu wants to steal Wuyazi's seventy years of Beiming Zhenqi. But Brother Chen Liu has only this level of cultivation. Can he really rob Wuyazi?"

Zhong Ling was a little confused, but she already knew that Chen Liu was not from their world, and she had also read their stories. So since Brother Chen Liu chose to find Wuyazi, it meant that Brother Chen Liu was confident, and perhaps there was some key here that she didn't know about.

Forget it, if I can't figure it out, then forget about it. Zhong Ling thought to herself: Now that I know where Brother Chen Liu is going next, if he doesn't take me with him, I'll just quietly follow him there. Humph! Trying to ditch me for some other shameless woman? No way. If you want to enter our Chen family, you have to at least get past me.

After hearing from Chen Liu's heartfelt words that he was willing to marry her in the future, Zhong Ling considered herself a member of the Chen family. So, as the eldest wife, it should be okay for her to help her husband choose a concubine, right?

After crossing over, Chen Liu's memory was much stronger. With his internal energy now restored, Chen Liu felt his mental strength had grown even stronger. This Zhenlong chess game only had a little over 200 pieces, so memorizing them wasn't difficult. However, to avoid making a mistake, Chen Liu carefully reviewed it several times, only feeling relieved once he was sure he had the correct placement.

After Chen Liu wrote down the Zhenlong chess game, he did not leave immediately with Zhong Ling, but chose to stay in Langhuan Blessed Land to continue practicing. After both of them had mastered the Lingbo Weibu technique, they looked at the Zhenlong chess game several more times before leaving Langhuan Blessed Land through another passage in the stone chamber.

Another exit of the Langhuan Blessed Land is a cave entrance that is only wide enough for humans to enter and exit. It is located halfway up a cliff on the Lancang River, about ten feet above the river surface and about ten feet from the top of the cliff.

When Zhong Ling saw the Lancang River, she was immediately surprised and said, "Brother Chenliu, it's the Lancang River."

After Zhong Ling and Chen Liu climbed up the cliff from the cave entrance, they looked out into the distance, feeling even more delighted. They said, "Brother Chen Liu, this place is not far from my home, only about twenty miles away. Look over there, that's the Good Man's Ferry..."

Zhong Ling pointed to a chain bridge about ten miles downstream on the Lancang River and said, "After crossing the Shanren Ferry, it's another two or three quarters of an hour's walk to my home."

Chen Liu looked in the direction Zhong Ling pointed and indeed saw an iron chain bridge.

Zhong Ling shook Chen Liu's arm and said coquettishly, "Brother Chen Liu, I haven't seen my father and mother for a long time. Can you come home with me to see them?"

Chapter 36: Good Man's Ferry

"Going to Wanjie Valley?"

Chen Liu now wanted to go to Dali to find Duan Yu. As for going to the Valley of Ten Thousand Tribulations, he was a little reluctant. After all, he knew how jealous that horse-faced man, Zhong Wanchou, was. He was always worried that his wife, Gan Baobao, would be seduced by some pretty boy, and he hated every man who looked better than him. With his pretty boy appearance, if he entered the Valley of Ten Thousand Tribulations, Zhong Wanchou would definitely want him killed. Even if he didn't have any intentions of seducing Gan Baobao, it wouldn't work. Although Ling'er wasn't Zhong Wanchou's biological daughter, he doted on her. If Zhong Wanchou knew that Ling'er had brought him back, he would probably beat the shit out of him.

Zhong Ling: ...

Chen Liu was a little embarrassed, but when he saw that Zhong Ling seemed a little disappointed, he gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, I'll go back with you to take a look."

Although going to the Wanjie Valley was somewhat dangerous, he now had Lingbo Weibu, and he thought Zhong Ling would help him. With Zhong Ling's help, it shouldn't be difficult for him to escape, right?

Zhong Ling was overjoyed when she heard this. She threw herself into Chen Liu's arms and said happily, "Thank you, Brother Chen Liu."

Zhong Ling was overjoyed. Chen Liu knew that going to their house would likely be targeted by her father, even threatened with violence, but he still chose to go back with her. What did this mean? It meant that he cared deeply about her feelings. Of course, she would never let her father hit Chen Liu. If he dared to do so, she would simply turn against him and follow him on his journey to the ends of the earth.

Zhong Ling suddenly threw herself into his arms, and Chen Liu couldn't help but wrap his arms around her slender waist. Though young, Zhong Ling was quite large, with a curvy figure and a size that was also impressive. This was probably the saying, "a delicate body is easily conquered." Embracing Zhong Ling's soft body made Chen Liu's heart flutter, and his body reacted in a way that raised his flag in respect.

Chen Liu's hips stuck out, feeling somewhat embarrassed. He thought to himself, "Has it been too long since I've had a woman?" Even a little girl like Zhong Ling had made him react. This is a crime. He'll have to go to jail for at least three, four, five, or six years. This is terrible! This is terrible! Ling'er is still too young. No, after going to Wanjie Valley, we have to run away quickly.

Zhong Ling: ...

Zhong Ling's face flushed, feeling a little shy and depressed. What the hell! Really! How can I be young? I'm already old enough to get married, okay?

In this era, people do get married early. Fifteen or sixteen is completely acceptable, and many people even get married at thirteen or fourteen. But Chen Liu is not used to it. After all, Zhong Ling is still too young. When they were her age, she would still be in junior high school, at most in the first year of high school. It's hard to bring herself to do it! Chen Liu sighed. If Zhong Ling was a little older, just two years older, he wouldn't be able to bear it.

"Brother Chen Liu!" Zhong Ling raised her head slightly and looked at Chen Liu.

Chen Liu looked down and saw that Zhong Ling's round face full of collagen was red, her eyes were watery, and her red lips were so beautiful that people wanted to kiss her.

Chen Liu resisted the urge to kiss her, let go of Zhong Ling, took her hand, and said, "Let's go."

Zhong Ling felt slightly disappointed, but Chen Liu's initiative to hold her hand cheered her up again. She also knew that Chen Liu didn't dislike her, he just thought she was a little young. Now Zhong Ling wished she could be two years older so she could be with Chen Liu.

Chen Liu and Zhong Ling walked down along the Lancang River. Because their clothes had been torn when they climbed down the forbidden cliff valley of the Wuliang Sword Sect, under the leadership of Zhong Ling, the two first went to a nearby Baiyi village and bought a set of Baiyi clothes to change into, and then went to Shanren Ferry.

There is a chain bridge at Shanren Ferry, with the Chinese characters "Shanren Ferry" carved into the stone beside the bridge. The bridge has four chains, two at the bottom with wooden planks on top for people to walk on, and two on the sides as handrails.

About a mile below Shanren Ferry, there's another ferry crossing with a single ferryboat. This ferry is specifically designed for those carrying large amounts of luggage and livestock. After all, carrying livestock and large amounts of luggage would be inconvenient on the Shanren Ferry's iron chain bridge. The fare is quite reasonable: one copper coin for one person, and two copper coins for both. As for luggage, the cost depends on the amount of luggage.

"Brother Chenliu, look! It's Sister Mu." Chenliu and Zhong Ling walked onto the iron chain bridge. When they reached the center, the sharp-eyed Zhong Ling spotted a woman wearing a black hat, black clothes, and a black scarf covering her face, leading a large black horse as she prepared to cross the river. Zhong Ling recognized the woman in black as her best friend, Mu Wanqing. She jumped up excitedly, waved at her, and shouted, "Sister Mu! I'm Zhong Ling! Where are you going?"

"Ouch, my dear, please stop jumping!" The iron chains of this iron chain bridge began to sway as soon as someone stepped onto it. The sway intensified as they reached the center of the river. Chen Liu had only just learned martial arts, and unlike Zhong Ling, he wasn't as accustomed to walking on this chain bridge. He was already a bit nervous, and now Zhong Ling was jumping back and forth in the middle of the bridge, making the entire bridge sway even more violently. He was so frightened that his face turned pale, and he clung to the chains tightly, not daring to move.

Zhong Ling turned around and saw that Chen Liu's face was a little pale, and his big eyes rolled around. He immediately started to play a prank, deliberately shaking the iron chain bridge, making it swing like a swing.

"Zhong Ling, you're itching for trouble, right? If you shake again, I'll spank you." Chen Liu suddenly became even more depressed.

"Hehehe... Come on! Come on!" Zhong Ling giggled. She was not afraid of Chen Liu at all. She even seemed to be looking forward to it when she heard Chen Liu say he would spank her.

Chen Liu:......

"If you don't go find your sister Mu, she will leave." Chen Liu had no choice but to say.

"Oh!" After Chen Liu reminded her, Zhong Ling remembered that Mu Wanqing was about to cross the river. She quickly turned around and saw that Mu Wanqing had ignored her and had already boarded the ferry with her black horse. Zhong Ling turned back to Chen Liu and said, "Brother Chen Liu, let's go back. I'll take you to see Sister Mu. She's my uncle's daughter and my best sister."

With that, Zhong Ling turned around and ran back, and she also used her lightness skills to fly several meters across the bridge. No matter how violently the iron chain bridge shook, it had no effect on her.

Chen Liu waited until Zhong Ling ran out of the iron chain bridge and the bridge stabilized a little before he slowly walked back. When Chen Liu walked back to the bridge head, he breathed a sigh of relief and thought to himself: It seems that this Qinggong needs more practice.

After catching his breath, Chen Liu looked down at the ferry and saw Mu Wanqing just getting off the ferry with her black horse. Zhong Ling was already waiting for her on the shore. Zhong Ling was chattering with Mu Wanqing, and Mu Wanqing glanced at Chen Liu, seeming a little impatient.

Chapter 37 Mu Wanqing (Part )

"Is that your wild man?"

"What a wild man! Seriously, Sister Mu, when will you change your personality?" Zhong Ling couldn't help but complain. Mu Wanqing had a strange personality and an intense hatred for men. As her best friend, Zhong Ling naturally knew this. If Mu Wanqing hated other men, it would be fine, Zhong Ling wouldn't care, but when she scolded Chen Liu, Zhong Ling was not happy.

"That's Brother Chen Liu. Brother Chen Liu is a very good man. He is different from other men."

"All men are the same." Mu Wanqing glanced at Chen Liu standing at the bridgehead and said disdainfully, "That guy is just a gigolo who likes to deceive girls. Be careful not to be fooled by him. Once he gets you pregnant, he'll run away and you'll have nowhere to cry."

"No, Brother Chen Liu is definitely not the kind of person you say he is." Zhong Ling retorted.

"Hmph! All crows are black, and no stinky man is an exception." Mu Wanqing snorted coldly.

"Brother Chen Liu is not like what you said." Zhong Ling said angrily, "If Brother Chen Liu wanted me, I would have been pregnant by now. I offered myself to him, but he didn't want me."

Mu Wanqing: ...

Ferryman: ...

Zhong Ling reacted after blurting out the words, and immediately said a little embarrassedly: "Anyway, Brother Chen Liu is not like what you said."

"Is he incompetent?"

"No, Brother Chen Liu is in good health."

"Since he's not incompetent, then it only means that the wild man you're attracted to isn't someone who's impatient for sex, and he has big ambitions and wants more."

Zhong Ling was speechless.

"Did I tell you right?"

Zhong Ling: ...

"I don't know how to tell you, but I know that Brother Chen Liu is not the kind of person you say he is."

"I don't care about you. If something goes wrong in the future, you'll be the one who regrets it." Mu Wanqing said this and led her horse towards the iron chain bridge. It wasn't that she wanted to see Chen Liu, but the main road was here. Mu Wanqing needed to walk to the iron chain bridge to leave Wuliang Mountain from the road at the end of the iron chain bridge.

However, as soon as Mu Wanqing walked into the area within a radius of 50 meters centered on Chen Liu, Chen Liu's complaints came to her mind.

"...This girl has the most bizarre personality. Her mother taught her to hate men and resent women. I wouldn't dare mess with her. Speaking of Duan Zhengchun's five daughters, Wang Yuyan is a total bootlicker, Mu Wanqing is a man-hating woman, and A Zi is a ruthless little witch. Only Zhong Ling and A Zhu have better personalities."

"Hmm?" Chen Liu's voice suddenly entered her mind. Mu Wanqing was initially a little surprised, but when she heard Chen Liu calling her a man-hater, her brows immediately furrowed, ready to curse and attack. Zhong Ling, on the other hand, covered Mu Wanqing's mouth with her hand, a little shocked.

Zhong Ling had initially thought she was the only one who could hear Chen Liu's inner thoughts, but she hadn't expected Mu Wanqing to hear them, too. She was even more shocked to learn that Mu Wanqing was also Duan Zhengchun's daughter. Fortunately, she reacted quickly and covered her mouth before she could curse. Otherwise, the fact that they could hear Chen Liu's inner thoughts would have been exposed.

Mu Wanqing was already furious at being called a hater by Chen Liu, and then Zhong Ling covered her mouth, which made her even more angry. Just as Mu Wanqing was about to break free, Zhong Ling leaned over and whispered in her ear, "Sister Mu, don't move. Did you hear Brother Chen Liu's voice just now?"

"I'm telling you, Sister Mu, I can hear what's in Brother Chen Liu's heart and know what he's really thinking. That's why I'm telling you that Brother Chen Liu isn't that kind of person. Can you hear that, too?"

What was in her heart? Mu Wanqing's eyes showed a look of shock. She had come to her senses a little bit now. Those words just now did not seem to be spoken out loud, but suddenly entered her mind. And now when she recalled the content of the previous paragraph, the information revealed seemed a little wrong. That person not only called her a man-hater, but also said that she, Zhong Ling, and the other three girls were the daughters of a man named Duan Zhengchun. She was also said that her mother had taught her to be a man-hater. Mother? How could she have a mother who taught her? She had always been taught by her master, okay? Could it be that...

"Sister Mu, come here first and I'll tell you what happened." Zhong Ling whispered to Mu Wanqing again.

Mu Wanqing hesitated for a while, then nodded, turned around and walked back with Zhong Ling, away from Chenliu.

Chen Liu was a little confused. He wondered what Zhong Ling and Mu Wanqing were mumbling about when they were almost reaching him.

"Are you telling the truth? He's not from our world? And he knows our story?"

"It's true. I've been with Brother Chen Liu these days, listening to his inner thoughts every day. He can't hide anything from me." Zhong Ling felt a little complicated and whispered, "I originally thought that only I could hear Brother Chen Liu's inner thoughts, but I didn't expect that Sister Mu could hear them too."

"So what he said about you and me being the daughters of that Duan Zhengchun is also true?"
