Chapter 29: Linghu Chong is stubborn and unyielding (Please read and recommend)
"Young man Linghu, at this time tomorrow, I will teach you swordsmanship."
Feng Qingyang got Li Anran's approval and agreed to let Linghu Chong learn Dugu Nine Swords from him. His goal was achieved. He flicked his long sleeves, turned around and walked towards the cave.
Linghu Chong came back to his senses and hurriedly called out, "Senior! Senior! I haven't asked for your name yet?"
Feng Qingyang waved his hand without even turning his head: "The so-called name is just a code name for others to call me. Now that I have retired from the martial arts world, this name will go with me."
Linghu Chong's eyes lit up: "As expected of a senior! You are so carefree and free-spirited!"
He didn't know that the first thing Feng Qingyang did when he entered the cave was to go straight to the big bluestone and erase the three words "Feng Qingyang" carved on the bottom of the stone wall. He sighed and felt annoyed: "If I had known that this kid was such a monster, I should have covered my face! Now, I have lost all my face!"
Feng Qingyang felt a little regretful that he couldn't help but mention the fact that he was cheated. He prayed silently in his heart that after so many years, Yue Buqun had forgotten him!
Li Anran noticed Feng Qingyang's little movements, but didn't care.
He was willing to hand Linghu Chong over to Feng Qingyang because he had confirmed that Feng Qingyang had no ill will towards the current Huashan Sect. He showed up just to find someone to pass on the Dugu Nine Swords, not to undermine the Qi Sect for the Sword Sect.
Secondly, Linghu Chong's personality is different from both him and his master, and he is closer to Feng Qingyang. Handing him over to Feng Qingyang will be of great benefit to Linghu Chong's future.
Li Anran asked loudly: "Senior, can I come to you again to ask for martial arts lessons in the future?"
Feng Qingyang: "..." You young man have no moral principles and are addicted to bullying me, an old man in his eighties?
Feng Qingyang wanted to refuse, but hesitated when the words came to his lips.
Hearing the Tao in the morning is enough to die in the evening!
He is now over 80 years old and his time is running out. It is almost impossible for him to make any breakthrough in martial arts!
However, he really wanted to see what the scenery would be like if martial arts advanced further!
And the only one who can fulfill his wish is Li Anran!
"Anyway, I've already lost all my face today! I can do it a few more times!"
Feng Qingyang held on to the idea of breaking the jar and said in a cold voice: "No need to ask for advice! I am not worthy of these two words! But if you want to learn from me, I will accompany you!"
Li Anran shouted loudly: "Thank you, senior!" In his heart, he was thinking that once he got more familiar with Feng Qingyang, he would use Zixia magic to help Feng Qingyang recover!
Such a good leveling tool cannot be broken in one use. It needs more maintenance!
Linghu Chong said, "Big Brother, Tian Boguang said that he didn't kill the second brother, he was wrongly accused. He said that he was not in Shaanxi on the day the second brother died..."
"I know."
Li Anran interrupted Linghu Chong directly. Not wanting to damage the image of his master in Linghu Chong's heart, he simply said, "I killed Lao Denuo."
Linghu Chong exclaimed "Ah", his eyes widened, his face full of disbelief.
After a long while, he came back to his senses and asked, "Second... Is Lao Denuo a spy sent by the Demon Cult?"
Li Anran felt a little relieved. His third junior brother was a little stupid, but at least he knew who to trust. He said, "He was not sent by the Demon Sect, but by the Songshan Sect."
Linghu Chong was shocked: "Songshan Sect?!"
Li Anran said, "You also attended Liu Zhengfeng's retreat meeting. Have you ever thought about how the Songshan Sect knew about Liu Zhengfeng and Qu Yang?"
Linghu Chong suddenly came to his senses and found it hard to understand: "Why would the Songshan Sect do this?"
Li Anran briefly explained the ambitions of Zuo Lengchan of the Songshan School.
Linghu Chong was stunned.
Tian Boguang was trembling with fear. Li Anran could tell so many secrets in front of him, which obviously meant he had no intention of letting him live!
Sure enough, after Li Anran finished speaking, he slapped him with his backhand.
Tian Boguang closed his eyes subconsciously.
However, death did not come as expected.
Instead, he felt a vast amount of true energy pouring into his body, which actually forced out the poison bit by bit.
"He's helping me detoxify?"
"Does he want me to help him, too?"
Tian Boguang was overjoyed, and just as he was about to speak, the vast energy suddenly rolled back. Unspeakable pain came from all over his body.
Tian Boguang was sweating profusely from the pain, his eyes rolled back and he wanted to faint, but he couldn't. Instead, he became more and more awake.
Tian Boguang wanted to scream, but he found that there seemed to be a knife stuck in his throat, and he could only make hoarse and vague whimpers.
I don’t know how long it took, but the pain seemed to ease a little, or maybe he got used to the pain and his fuzzy consciousness became a little clearer.
But Tian Boguang did not feel any joy!
All the meridians in his body had been broken, and he became a useless man with no speech and broken hands and feet.
"Ah! Ah! Ah!"
Tian Boguang's eyes were bloodshot and he let out a series of indistinct roars from his throat.
He struggled to fight with Li Anran, but only moved half a step forward before falling heavily to the ground again, and could only crawl like a maggot.
Linghu Chong couldn't bear it any longer, so he picked up the Burmese knife on the ground and wanted to kill Tian Boguang.
Li Anran stopped him and said, "Put away your cheap sympathy. Some people deserve sympathy, but some beasts don't deserve it! You are not qualified to kill him. There are dozens of people in northern and eastern Shaanxi waiting for him!"
Even modern women, if violated by rapists, will be left with a lifelong trauma that they cannot get rid of, and may even become depressed and commit suicide.
Not to mention that this happened in ancient society!
It is foreseeable that those who were harmed by Tian Boguang would end up committing suicide or being forced to commit suicide!
Tian Boguang trembled all over, and the previous ferocity and hatred were no longer in his eyes. Instead, there was endless fear. He looked at Linghu Chong with a pleading face.
He is not afraid of death. At worst, he can still be a hero in eighteen years!
However, if he fell into the hands of the families of the women he had harmed, it would not be as simple as death!
Linghu Chong turned his head away and didn't look at Tian Boguang.
Every wrong has its perpetrator and every debt has its creditor. Tian Boguang committed so many crimes including rape and plunder, and it is indeed time to hand him over to the victims.
When Li Anran saw Linghu Chong like this, he suddenly remembered what Linghu Chong often said when he was a child, that he wanted to be a hero. He had some enlightenment and got a glimpse into Linghu Chong's inner thoughts.
Others, including his master, think that Linghu Chong is willful and unruly, but in fact Linghu Chong is the most rigid and inflexible person.
However, what made Linghu Chong rigid and inflexible was not the rules of the martial arts world that good and evil cannot coexist, but the storytellers' belief that the heroes of the martial arts world keep their words, value death over life, put righteousness first, and believe that wine can make a hero brave, etc.
These are the most common things Linghu Chong heard when he was begging as a child!
Most of these things were correct, so Yue Buqun and Ning Zhongze never corrected them, and even expressed their agreement from time to time.
But these things are too idealistic and out of touch with reality, which is why Linghu Chong has his current personality.
Third Junior Brother, you should get more experience in the martial arts world. The more you see, the different your personality and ideas will be!
Li Anran didn't say anything more.
Some things are useless to talk about; only experiencing them personally and seeing them with one's own eyes will have enough impact to completely change Linghu Chong.
He grabbed Tian Boguang by the collar, went down the cliff of reflection, and returned to Zhengqitang.
"Big Brother!"
The fellow disciples had been waiting for a long time.
When they found that Li Anran was missing, they guessed that Li Anran might have found Tian Boguang's whereabouts. Now they were overjoyed to see that Li Anran actually captured Tian Boguang alive.
On the one hand, Laudeno's great revenge was achieved.
On the other hand, they finally didn't have to stay on Mount Hua all the time and could go down the mountain and walk around.
Li Anran ordered Gao Genming and Liang Fa to send Tian Boguang to his master and his mistress, and then he found a secluded hill in the back mountain to continue practicing controlling the sword with Qi.
As soon as his [Moves] are upgraded to level 7, he will go down the mountain to wipe out the Sun and Moon Demon Cult!
Let’s put an end to this feud that has lasted for hundreds of years!
