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

Li Mochou had already stopped when Chen Liu called out to the Seven Heroes of Jiangnan. Although she was a late Xiantian master and normally wouldn't be afraid of the Seven Heroes of Jiangnan, she had been chasing Chen Liu for six days and nights straight and was in extremely poor condition. In her current state, she couldn't defeat the Seven Heroes of Jiangnan. She could only glare at Chen Liu, who had intruded into the Seven Heroes of Jiangnan, and then turned and ran.

Chapter 71 The Six Eccentrics of Jiangnan (Part )

Chen Liu looked back and saw that Li Mochou had run away. He finally breathed a sigh of relief. As soon as he relaxed, he was extremely tired. He turned around and bowed to Han Xiaoying, who was left behind among the Seven Freaks of Jiangnan to take care of Guo Jing's mother Li Ping. Then his body tilted to the side and fell to the ground.

Han Xiaoying was shocked and hurried forward to support Chen Liu. She carefully checked his physical condition and saw that Chen Liu was in a very bad state. His eye sockets were sunken, his face was pale, covered with dirt, and his lips were so dry and cracked that it seemed as if the land had not seen water for several years and was cracked into cracks. Even a trace of blood seeped out, and the blood dried up and formed red and black blood streaks on his lips.

"He's Han Chinese." Li Ping stepped forward to take a look. Although Chen Liu's clothes were tattered and stained, they still looked like Han Chinese clothing. She turned back to Guo Jing and said, "Jing'er, go get some water."

"Yes, mother." Guo Jing, who was looking at Chen Liu with some curiosity, hurried back to the yurt, took out a bag of clear water, unscrewed the cork, and squatted on the ground to prepare to stuff it into Chen Liu's mouth.

Li Ping was at a loss for words and said, "Silly boy, he's already passed out, how can you still give him water? Give it to his mother."

Guo Jing's reaction was indeed a little slow. He was stunned for a moment, and after a long while, he handed the water bag to Li Ping and said, "Mother, this is for you."

"Sister Xiaoying, please help him." Li Ping said to Han Xiaoying.

"Okay." Han Xiaoying hurriedly half-lifted Chen Liu, who had been lying flat on the ground, while Li Ping wet a clean towel with water and gently wiped Chen Liu's face and lips, removing the dirt on his face.

"What a handsome young man." After wiping the dirt off Chen Liu's face, Li Ping finally revealed his true appearance and couldn't help but exclaim in admiration. Although Chen Liu's eyes were sunken and his face was pale, it was clear that he was indeed handsome.

Han Xiaoying couldn't help but nod slightly when she saw Chen Liu's handsome face. Chen Liu's appearance was not top-notch in today's world where many people have undergone plastic surgery, but it was also considered to be of high quality. However, his appearance was indeed considered a rare handsome man in the Song Dynasty.

After wiping his face clean, Li Ping asked Guo Jing to get a clean bowl, poured a little water into it, and slowly fed him the water by putting it to Chen Liu's lips. Perhaps because he was too thirsty and seriously dehydrated, Chen Liu subconsciously drank the water. Li Ping didn't dare to feed him too fast, fearing that he would choke. After feeding him, Li Ping poured a little more and fed him little by little until she had fed Chen Liu more than half a bowl of water. Then she stopped.

"Jing'er, help carry this young man into the tent," Li Ping said to Guo Jing. After a moment's thought, she added, "Change him into one of your clothes. He's about the same size as you."

Although Guo Jing is not handsome, he is tall, which is his physique inherited from his father.

"Okay, mother." Guo Jing picked up Chen Liu and walked towards the tent. When entering the tent, he knocked Chen Liu's head against the pillar of the yurt door. However, Chen Liu was sleeping too deeply and did not wake up.

Li Ping and Han Xiaoying were both speechless.

After about a quarter of an hour, Guo Jing walked out of the yurt, carrying Chen Liu's already smelly clothes and the gold, silver, and jade pendants he had brought with him. He asked, "Mother, Seventh Master, what should we do with these things of his?"

Li Ping said: "These are his things, you can't take them carelessly. As for these clothes..."

Li Ping picked up Chen Liu's clothes. They were tattered beyond recognition, but the material was excellent, the finest fabric. Although they couldn't be worn after washing, they could be used to mend clothes. So she said, "I'll go and help him wash them."

"Jing'er, bring his things here for me to see." Han Xiaoying said.

"Okay, Master Seven." Guo Jing quickly handed all of Chen Liu's belongings except his clothes to Han Xiaoying.

Han Xiaoying didn't care much about gold and silver. She was interested in Chen Liu's sachets and jade pendants.

"This is Shu brocade made of extremely fine workmanship and precious materials. This jade pendant..." Although Han Xiaoying didn't like makeup and loved armor, she had a second brother, Zhu Cong, who loved stealing and had a certain appreciation for precious treasures. He said, "This jade pendant is also extremely rare imperial jade. This person's identity is not simple."

After more than an hour, Ke Zhenwu returned with his four brothers, his face dark. Han Xiaoying approached him and asked, "Brother? Didn't you catch up?"

"He ran away." Ke Zhen'e's face was filled with anger. They were strong in external martial arts, not internal strength. Furthermore, there were no innate masters among them. The strongest was the eldest, Ke Zhen'e, who was only at the peak of acquired external martial arts. After Li Mochou knocked off their horses with her Ice Soul Silver Needle, they could only watch helplessly as she ran away.

"How is that man?" asked Ke Zhenwu.

"It's a young man, probably in his twenties. He fainted, but he's fine," said Han Xiaoying.

"A young man in his twenties?" Zhu Cong couldn't help but praise him. "In his twenties, he's already escaped Li Mochou's pursuit and made it here. And judging by their condition, they've been here for quite some time. Li Mochou's condition is extremely poor. If she were in top form, we wouldn't necessarily be her match if we attacked together. This young man is truly remarkable."

"It's really not easy." Han Baoju also sighed: "If the five of us chased Li Mochou who was in extremely poor condition, she would easily kill her horses and escape."

Ke Zhenwu slammed his iron crutch down on the ground, his face darkening as he said, "Li Mochou has come to the desert. If she recovers..."

Although Ke Zhenwu knew they were no match for Li Mochou, he was a man who cared deeply about his reputation. Even if someone died, he couldn't lose it. So he couldn't say that even if they attacked together, they couldn't defeat Li Mochou. So he said, "It's said that Li Mochou kills without mercy. This place is not safe anymore, and Jing'er's mother can't stay here any longer."

"What should we do then?" Han Xiaoying asked.

"Come back to the Central Plains with us." Ke Zhenwu said.

"What about Hua Zheng?"

"A real man will never worry about having a wife, but a woman from the Yuan Dynasty..." Ke Zhenwu has always disliked Hua Zheng. After all, Hua Zheng is from the Yuan Dynasty, while they are from the Song Dynasty. The Yuan and Song peoples are sworn enemies.

Li Ping sighed and said, "I've lived here for more than ten years and have become accustomed to life on the grassland."

Li Ping actually liked Hua Zheng. Hua Zheng was lively, innocent, and adorable. Most importantly, she was deeply in love with Guo Jing and treated her very well. She was also engaged to Guo Jing. Hua Zheng had done nothing wrong to Guo Jing. Wouldn't abandoning Hua Zheng make Guo Jing appear unkind and unjust? Although Li Ping was uneducated and unattractive, she understood the principles of loyalty, filial piety, chastity, and righteousness. Therefore, she was reluctant to leave and return to the Central Plains. She worried that if she followed Guo Jing back, she would never be able to return.

Ke Zhen'e knew Li Ping's thoughts. Li Ping didn't want to go back, and he was helpless. Could he really abandon Li Ping and return to the Song Dynasty? He was also worried that after they left, Li Mochou would recover and come to kill them. What if Li Mochou couldn't find them and killed Li Ping to vent her anger?

"Then let's wait until that person wakes up and ask him what happened." Ke Zhenwu said after thinking for a while.

Although it is dangerous to stay here, they cannot abandon Li Ping.

Chapter 72: The Six Weirdos of Jiangnan (Part )

Chen Liu slept for two days and one night before waking up. After waking up, he felt very hungry.

"Are you awake?" Guo Jing, who was looking after Chen Liu, was very curious about him when he saw that Chen Liu had woken up. In the past two days and one night, he had heard from his masters that the one named Li Mochou was a congenital master. As for what a congenital master was, he didn't quite understand, he only knew that she was very, very powerful, and even his masters combined could not beat her. However, Chen Liu was able to escape from Li Mochou's hands, and even tired her out and was chased by his masters. In Guo Jing's heart, his masters were already very, very powerful masters. Every time he could not withstand a few moves in their hands, how could he not admire them?

"Have you eaten..." Chen Liu felt very weak, and his voice was a little hoarse and weak. He was about to ask Guo Jing if he had anything to eat, but unexpectedly Guo Jing ran out shouting.

"Mother, First Master, Second Master, Third Master, Fourth Master, Sixth Master, Seventh Master, he's awake."

Chen Liu:......

After a while, Ke Zhen'e, Zhu Cong, Han Baoju, Nan Xiren, Jin Quanfa, Han Xiaoying and Guo Jing rushed into the tent together.

Zhu Cong looked at Chen Liu, who had already sat up with his back against the yurt, and couldn't help but sigh in amazement. He said, "Boy, not bad. You actually managed to escape from Li Mochou. How long did you escape?"

"I'm not sure, maybe five or six days." Chen Liu said.

"You've been running away for five or six days?" Han Baoju exclaimed in amazement. "You haven't been able to run away to death in five or six days. You're amazing."

"Do you have……"

"Who are you?" Chen Liu was about to ask about food when he was interrupted by Ke Zhenwu again.

Chen Liu:......

Chen Liu was too tired to complain and could only say helplessly, "Gusu Chen Liu, thank you very much for saving my life, the Seven Heroes of Jiangnan."

"Gusu? Are you from Gusu?"

"Yes."

"you……"

"Don't ask any more questions. Let this young man eat something first." Li Ping held a bowl with goat milk in it and some cheese in the other hand.

Upon hearing this, Ke Zhenwu, Zhu Cong and others felt embarrassed. They only wanted to find out about Chen Liu's origins, but they forgot that this man had been chased by Li Mochou for several days and was in a bad condition now. It was not the right time to ask him.

Chen Liu looked at Li Ping gratefully and said, "Thank you, Auntie."

"No need to thank me, no need to thank me. Come, young man, eat something first." Li Ping handed the bowl to Chen Liu.

Chen Liu took the bowl with trembling hands, and downed most of the goat's milk in one gulp, finally breathing a sigh of relief. Having something to fill his stomach made it feel less uncomfortable. Taking the cheese from Li Ping's hand, Chen Liu chewed it slowly and carefully. He knew that after not eating for a long time, he couldn't eat too fast. If possible, it's best to drink some porridge first. But this was Mongolia, and he didn't have the conditions. Naturally, Chen Liu couldn't ask others to help him. He was already very grateful that they had saved him.

After swallowing, Chen Liu slowly regained some of his strength. He looked at Ke Zhen'e, Zhu Cong, and the others who were still waiting nearby and said, "Master Ke, Master Zhu, I am from Gusu. My surname is Chen, my given name is Liu, and my courtesy name is Buqi. When I was a child, I heard that Master Ke, Master Zhu, and seven other heroes from Jiaxing had made a bet with Taoist Master Qiu Chuji of the Quanzhen Sect. They were looking for the descendants of a righteous man named Guo. They would teach each other martial arts, and the winner would be determined by a duel eighteen years later. The seven heroes have made a promise worth a thousand gold, and I admire you very much."

In the past, Qiu Chuji was hunted by the Jin army and rescued by Guo Xiaotian and Yang Tiexin. The Jin prince Wanyan Honglie, who was also pursuing Qiu Chuji, was saved by Yang Tiexin's wife, Bao Xiruo. Wanyan Honglie, therefore, fell in love with Bao Xiruo and bribed the Song officials to kill Guo Xiaotian and Yang Tiexin, taking Bao Xiruo with him. Upon learning of this, Qiu Chuji pursued Duan Tiande. While at the Fahua Temple in Jiaxing Prefecture, he encountered a misunderstanding with the abbot, Jiao Mu. Jiao Mu was close friends with the Seven Freaks of Jiangnan, so Qiu Chuji invited them to mediate. At Zuixianlou, the Seven Freaks of Jiangnan and Qiu Chuji each displayed their abilities, earning mutual admiration. However, when Wanyan Honglie's Jin troops arrived, Qiu Chuji mistakenly believed the Seven Freaks of Jiangnan and Jiao Mu were colluding to frame Guo Xiaotian and Yang Tiexin. A battle ensued at the Fahua Temple, resulting in both sides suffering heavy losses. Duan Tiande then took advantage and abducted Li Ping.

After learning the truth, Qiu Chuji felt ashamed and apologized to the Seven Freaks of Jiangnan. However, their pride, coupled with Jiao Mu's death, refused to relent. Qiu Chuji and the Seven Freaks renewed their bet, each responsible for finding the descendants of the Guo and Yang families and raising them to adulthood. Eighteen years later, the winner would be determined in a duel at Zuixianlou. The Seven Freaks were tasked with finding the descendants of the Guo family. After six years of searching, they finally stumbled upon Guo Jing in Mongolia, but encountered the Black Wind Twins, the murderers of Ke Zhen'e's brother. After a night battle in the deserted mountains, Zhang Asheng, one of the Seven Freaks, was killed by Chen Xuanfeng, who was inadvertently assassinated by Guo Jing. Mei Chaofeng was also blinded by Ke Zhen'e.

After this, the Six Freaks of Jiangnan stayed in Mongolia and taught Guo Jing martial arts for twelve years. When Guo Jing was eighteen, the Six Freaks of Jiangnan discovered that Guo Jing's internal skills had been passed down from another teacher, mistakenly believing it to be Mei Chaofeng. Later, Ma Yu intervened and the two sides resolved the misunderstanding. Together, the Six Freaks of Jiangnan and Ma Yu pretended to be the Seven Masters of Quanzhen and scared Mei Chaofeng away.

This time, Ke Zhen'e, Zhu Cong and others were originally preparing to take Guo Jing back to the Zuixian Tower in Jiaxing, Song Dynasty to keep an appointment. Just as they were about to set off, they encountered Li Mochou chasing Chen Liu, so they saved Chen Liu.

Hearing Chen Liu's praise, Ke Zhen'e, Zhu Cong, and the others couldn't help but smile. Although they had lived through a very difficult eighteen years, and even lost a brother because of it, and later, after finding Guo Jing, they were often angered by his stupidity to the point of vomiting blood, they felt that receiving praise from a junior like Chen Liu was worth it. Therefore, they couldn't help but feel a good impression of Chen Liu.

"Why are you being chased by Li Mochou?" Ke Zhen'e asked.

"How should I know this?" Chen Liu was also very depressed. He really didn't understand why Li Mochou was chasing him so hard. He said, "I was traveling from Xiangyang to Tokyo. After passing Yingchang Prefecture, I met Li Mochou and her apprentice. I recognized her, and she asked me my name. Li Mochou was a murderous female devil, so I naturally didn't tell her my name. I said my name was Zhao Dabao. She accused me of lying and came to beat me. My horse was taken away by one of her lame female apprentices. I had no choice but to run, and she chased me. I don't know why she chased me. I could only run and run. I ran out of the Song Dynasty and into the grassland. If I hadn't met the Seven Heroes of Jiangnan, I would probably have lost my life in her hands."

"It only takes five or six days to run all the way from Yingchang Prefecture to here? The distance is not short, at least tens of thousands of miles." Jin Quanfa exclaimed.

"The key is that there are no replenishments on the way." Nancy Ren said.

"I also have a unique skill in Qinggong." Chen Liu said, "Not only does it not consume internal energy, it can also slowly increase internal energy."

"I see."

Upon hearing this, Ke Zhen'e, Zhu Cong and others couldn't help but nodded. No wonder Chen Liu was able to escape from the hands of Li Mochou, a master of innate skills.

Chapter 73 Guo Jing

Because Chen Liu was in poor health, the Six Freaks of Jiangnan decided to stay for two more days before returning to the Central Plains, and Chen Liu also decided to return to Jin Dadu with them.

When Chen Liu heard Ke Zhen'e's angry scolding outside, he walked out of the tent and looked from afar. He saw Guo Jing lowering his head and listening obediently to Ke Zhen'e's scolding. He did not dare to refute at all, and even showed a guilty look on his face.

Chen Liu thought to himself, "Guo Jing is clearly a fool. He's not suited to learning martial arts that require a lot of complex techniques. He wouldn't be able to memorize them all, especially with so many masters teaching him. It's a wonder he could even remember them. However, Guo Jing has incredible perseverance and an indomitable resilience. Learning martial arts that require minimal techniques but are incredibly powerful, like the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms, would be perfect for him."

Han Xiaoying approached Chen Liu calmly. This wasn't the first time she had heard Chen Liu's inner thoughts. She wanted to ask the other five brothers if they could hear them, but when she thought about it, she suddenly felt a sense of panic in her heart. At the same time, she also thought that this matter was too absurd, so she chose to conceal it.

"What do you think of Jing'er?" Han Xiaoying asked.

"He is kind-hearted, honest and sincere." Chen Liu said.

"I'm talking about his martial arts." Han Xiaoying looked up at Guo Jing, who was being scolded like a dog by her elder brother, and smiled.

Han Xiaoying was more like Guo Jing's mother than Li Ping. She taught him martial arts, determined to raise him to become a man of great talent. However, Guo Jing was slow to learn, and no matter how hard she tried, he couldn't master the sword techniques. She thought of her seven brothers, who had toiled for years in the bitter cold of Mobei, and Zhang Asheng, who had died in a foreign land, only to have such a fool. She couldn't help but feel angry and tearful. For Guo Jing, she had grown from a beautiful, big-eyed, slender 18-year-old to a middle-aged woman of 35, with wrinkles appearing at the corners of her eyes.

Chen Liu pondered for a moment, then thought to himself, "The Six Freaks of Jiangnan have done me a favor. Should I teach Guo Jing the Shocking Wave Palm? The Shocking Wave Palm is the famous technique of the Xiangyang hero Guo Juxia. It's powerful and simple, and would suit Guo Jing well. But if I teach Guo Jing, will the Six Freaks of Jiangnan blame me? And this is Guo Juxia's unique skill..."

"I have a set of Shocking Wave Palm here, which is the unique skill of the great hero Guo Juxia from Xiangyang. I think it is very suitable for Guo Jing. Whether you want him to learn it is up to you to decide. After all, he is your apprentice." Chen Liu said.

"The unique martial arts of the Xiangyang hero Guo Juxia?" Han Xiaoying's face was filled with surprise, and she hurried to discuss it with Ke Zhen'e. Upon hearing this, Ke Zhen'e couldn't help but smile in surprise. Guo Jing had already learned the Quanzhen Sect's internal skills from Ma Yu, so he didn't mind letting Guo Jing learn another martial art. Besides, this was the unique martial arts of the Xiangyang hero Guo Juxia. If Guo Jing could learn it, it would be his good fortune.

Ke Zhen'e hurried over to thank Chen Liu. Chen Liu smiled and said, "You're welcome, hero Ke. You saved my life. I was just teaching Guo Jing a martial art."

There are twelve moves in the Shocking Waves Palm: waves crashing on the shore, surging waves, raging sea waves, whale waves, violent winds and huge waves, sweeping away everything in the wind, riding the wind and waves, splitting the wind and waves, huge waves washing away the sand, waves created without wind, angry winds and shocking waves, and dragon river and tiger waves.

Chen Liu had already mastered Shocking Waves Palm after just one viewing. Of course, this was thanks to his systematic record-keeping, but Guo Jing's comprehension was simply too slow. Shocking Waves Palm was a sweeping, sweeping martial art, requiring little in the way of technique, requiring only careful attention to the application of force. Chen Liu's mouth was dry just explaining the first move, Shocking Waves Pacing the Shore, and Guo Jing still struggled for a long time before he could even memorize it.

Guo Jing also knew that he had a poor understanding, so he blushed and felt embarrassed.

Chen Liu patted Guo Jing on the shoulder and comforted him, "Brother Guo, it's okay. Since you've memorized the first move, Shocking Waves, practice it diligently. Practice it until your mind follows your heart, and you can perform it naturally as soon as you think about it. Then you'll have succeeded."

"Don't worry, Brother Chen, I will definitely practice this move until I am proficient and will definitely not let you down." Guo Jing said seriously.
