Chapter 93: Kill me!
[Divination +1]

[Divination +7]

Li Anran was stunned for a moment when he saw the two lines of text that popped up in the upper left corner of his vision.

The former was obtained when he used the art of looking at qi to observe Qiao Feng's fortune.

The latter was obtained when he told Qiao Feng that disaster would happen to people close to Qiao Feng.

"Is the key to improving the [Divination] skill to change the predetermined fate?"

Li Anran's mind moved, and he stopped Qiao Feng, saying, "Boss Qiao, you have neither a horse nor dry food, and you can only rely on your two feet. It will take a lot of time on the road. I'll ask Ah Zhu and Ah Bi to prepare good horses and dry food for you, and then send you out, so you can go faster!"

Qiao Feng paused when he heard this. Although he was extremely anxious, he also understood that Li Anran was right. He said, "Thank you, Master Murong!"

[Divination +5]

Li Anran looked at the experience value that popped up in the upper left corner of his field of vision, and became more and more certain that his guess was correct.

Li Anran took out several talismans from his bosom and handed them over, saying, "Take these too. The green ones can be used to cure illnesses and save lives. Just burn them into ashes and mix with water to take. The blue ones can be used to travel. Use your inner strength to activate them and stick them on your body. The same goes for horses."

Qiao Feng cried out, and looked at the talisman in his hand, somewhat bewildered.

But thinking of Li Anran's miraculous divination skills, Qiao Feng put the talisman away in his arms, ready to try it later.

[Divination +21]

Li Anran was delighted, and secretly speculated: "Did they rescue the person this time? The point suddenly increased by 21 points!" The look in his eyes when he looked at Qiao Feng was different.

This Qiao Feng is really my lucky star!

Previously, I discovered a loophole in [Divination] and upgraded [Divination] to the maximum level in less than two years. Now I have found the key to improving [Divination]!

Li Anran immediately ordered Azhu and Abi to prepare dry food and horses, and personally sent Qiao Feng out of Chanhe Manor.

Qiao Feng was naturally grateful. After reaching the shore, he bowed to Li Anran, said goodbye, and rode his horse towards the Shaolin Temple in Songshan.

After running for some distance, Qiao Feng suddenly remembered the talismans Li Anran gave him. He took out a green talisman and poured his true energy into it.

hum!
The green talisman suddenly lit up, then dimmed, leaving only a layer of faint white light still covering it.

Qiao Feng was startled and carefully stuck the talisman on the horse's back.

In an instant.

The horses' running speed suddenly increased, more than doubling, like a strong wind and lightning in the darkness, disappearing in a flash.

It took only a day for Qiao Feng to arrive at the foot of Mount Song and head straight for Mount Shaoshi.

This is where he lived when he was young, and everything in the scenery is old.

After he became the leader of the Beggars' Sect, he came back several times, and each time he was happy to see his parents and his teacher.

At this moment, I was feeling panic-stricken, with anxiety and worry mixed with uneasiness, and a feeling that everything had changed.

"Don't let anything happen to you! Don't let anything happen to you!"

Qiao Feng kept praying in his heart, and his pace couldn't help but quicken.

During this day and night of travel, he finally had time to think about the word "revenge" that Li Anran said.

Since his biological father was able to kill his master, the leader of the Beggars' Sect, Wang Jiantong, he must have been a man of great martial arts skills and most likely had a high status in the Liao Kingdom.

He speculated that his master Wang Jiantong might have accidentally discovered him as a baby when he was trying to assassinate his biological father. Because he couldn't bear to do it, he gave him to his adoptive parents, Qiao Sanhuai and his wife, to raise him to adulthood.

He couldn't hate Wang Jiantong.

As the leader of the Beggars' Sect over the years, he is well aware of the long-standing hatred between the Song and Liao dynasties.

He himself also assassinated many Liao generals and even high-ranking Liao officials.

During this period, of course, I also encountered children, teenagers and even babies.

Wang Jiantong had already done his best by sparing his life, not to mention accepting him as his disciple, teaching him martial arts, and even passing on the position of leader of the Beggars' Sect to him.

Even though Wang Jiantong set three major challenges and seven major merits as tests for him in the process of inheriting the leadership of the Beggars' Sect, this spirit is already far beyond that of ordinary people!
On the contrary, it is reasonable and logical for him to seek revenge on his biological father whom he has never met, Wang Jiantong.

However, if he were to attack his adoptive parents who had no martial arts skills and were just ordinary mountain villagers, Qiao Feng didn't know if he could forgive him!

After turning a hill, Qiao Feng soon saw his childhood home, which still had the three mud houses and a vegetable garden.

The bamboo mat in the yard was filled with dried vegetables, and a hen with a few chicks were pecking at the grass.

Qiao Feng breathed a sigh of relief and shouted, "Dad! Mom! My son is back!"

I called out twice, but there was no response.

Qiao Feng's heart tightened, he pushed open the wooden door and rushed in. The tables, chairs, benches, plows, rakes and hoes in the hall were exactly the same as when he left, except that there was no one in sight.

Qiao Feng took two quick steps and looked into the bedroom, but it was still empty.

"Am I late?"

Qiao Feng felt as if he had been hit on the head by a heavy hammer. Every detail of his time with his adoptive parents flashed through his mind. His face was full of tears. The more he thought about it, the sadder he became. He couldn't help but burst into tears.

I cried for only a moment, and suddenly I heard someone outside shouting, "Feng'er! Feng'er! Are you back?"

Qiao Feng suddenly raised his head with a look of surprise and joy on his face. He rushed out of the door and saw Qiao Sanhuai and his wife standing there safe and sound.

"Dad! Mom! I'm so glad you're all right! So glad!" Qiao Feng hugged them both tightly, tears streaming down his face uncontrollably.

Qiao Sanhuai and his wife were puzzled, but seeing Qiao Feng crying like this, they were extremely distressed and kept comforting him, "It's okay, don't cry! We are in good health! We are waiting for you to get married quickly and give you grandchildren!"

Qiao Feng's emotions gradually calmed down, and he suddenly felt embarrassed. He stood up and welcomed the two elders back into the house.

Qiao Sanhuai asked: "Feng'er, did something happen?"

Qiao's mother also looked concerned: "If your leader of the Beggars' Gang is not happy, then we should stop working there. It would be nice to come back home, hunt, plant crops, get married and have children."

Qiao Feng felt warm at heart. He couldn't bear to make the two elders worry, and even more didn't want to make them sad.

He did not mention that he was no longer the leader of the Beggars' Sect, and was even thought to be a Khitan spy who killed the former leader. He did not ask about his background, but only said, "I'm fine. I just had a bad dream and missed you guys."

Only then did Qiao Sanhuai and his wife feel relieved.

"Just talk to your dad for a while. I'll go cook for you."

Mother Qiao got up and walked to the yard, preparing to kill a chicken and cook.

Qiao Feng and Qiao Sanhuai started chatting in the house. Qiao Sanhuai was just an ordinary mountain dweller, and the only things he could talk about with Qiao Feng were family matters, such as which boy got married and which family had a new baby.

Qiao Feng, however, listened with great interest, agreeing with the conversation from time to time. His anxious and tired heart gradually calmed down.

At this moment, there was a muffled bang outside the door, followed by a scream from Qiao's mother and the sound of a kitchen knife falling to the ground.

"not good!"

Qiao Feng was shocked and rushed out, only to see Qiao's mother lying on the ground with a black palm print on her chest and a look of pain on her face.

Qiao Feng hurried forward to help his mother up. Just as he was about to check her injuries, he saw a black shadow flash by and slap Qiao Sanhuai behind him.

"Stop!" Qiao Feng was horrified.

The man in black obviously left his adoptive mother alive on purpose just to attract his attention so that he could attack his adoptive father!

Qiao Feng realized that it was too late for him to stop him, so he quickly stretched out his right hand to grab the air, and a stream of air rolled back, sucking Qiao Sanhuai over.

It is the long-lost dragon-catching technique in the martial arts world!
The black shadow didn't expect Qiao Feng to use this move, and his palm missed, causing the mud house to collapse with a loud bang, and dust flew everywhere.

However, he did not give up and raised his palm to slap Qiao Sanhuai again.

"I told you to stop!"

With an angry roar, Qiao Feng stood in front of Qiao Sanhuai and performed the "Kang Long You Hui" from the "Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms". He bent his right arm inward, drew a circle with his right palm, and pushed outward with a whoosh.

Qiao Sanhuai and his wife raised him, and they were ordinary mountain people who had never left Songshan, so it was impossible for them to be enemies with anyone.

Regardless of whether the man in black in front of him is his biological father or not, there is no reason for him to attack Qiao Sanhuai and his wife!

Qiao Feng was already extremely furious, with his whole body filled with internal energy, and a faint shadow of a golden dragon was formed.

boom!
The two palm forces collided, making a hissing sound.

The true qi collided and turned into a visible ripple that surged out in all directions.

The black shadow paused in mid-air, then fell backwards, taking advantage of the situation to absorb Qiao Feng's palm force.

Behind Qiao Feng were Qiao Sanhuai and his wife, so they could only hold on, with their feet sinking directly into the ground.

The man in black failed twice in a row and decided not to continue fighting. He used the recoil force to fly backwards out of the yard. After a few leaps and turns, he disappeared into the mountains and forests.

At this time, Qiao Feng had no time to care who the man in black was. He hurried forward to check Qiao's mother's injuries. He found that Qiao's mother's heart pulse was about to break and she only had one last breath.

"Old woman! Old woman! Wake up! Wake up!" Qiao Sanhuai looked at his dying wife and burst into tears.

Qiao Feng suddenly thought of the talismans that Li Anran had given him. His eyes lit up and he said in ecstasy, "Dad, I have a way to save Mom!"

Qiao Feng took out a green talisman, walked quickly to the stove, lit it on the stove, put it in a bowl, poured clean water on it, and poured it into Qiao's mother's bowl.

The moment the talisman water entered his stomach, Qiao Feng noticed that his mother's intermittent heartbeat had stabilized and her pale face had gradually turned rosy.

It only took a few breaths.

Mother Qiao slowly opened her eyes, with a bewildered look on her face: "Feng, Feng'er, what's wrong with me? Old man, why are you crying?"

Qiao Sanhuai opened his eyes wide, still not recovering from the ups and downs of extreme sorrow and joy, and looked a little dazed.

Qiao Feng was also filled with shock and disbelief. A thought suddenly occurred to him: "Could it be that Master Murong is really the reincarnation of the Medicine King?"

But at this moment, he suddenly thought of the direction the man in black disappeared and the look he gave him before leaving, and a feeling of uneasiness suddenly arose in his heart.

"Master! Not good!"

Qiao Feng's face suddenly changed, and he thought of his teacher, Master Xuan Ku, in Shaolin Temple. He stood up and wanted to go to Shaolin Temple, but he was worried that the man in black would come back and attack his adoptive parents, so he said anxiously, "Dad, Mom, let's go to Shaolin Temple together!"

Qiao Sanhuai and his wife were originally mountain dwellers with little experience. They were already frightened by the attack by the men in black just now. Seeing Qiao Feng's serious and anxious expression, they naturally nodded and agreed.

Qiao Feng asked his adoptive parents to get on the horse and led them to Shaolin Temple, but he felt a little resentful and dissatisfied towards his biological father whom he had never met.

"Father, do you really want to leave me alone and put me to death?"

Qiao Feng didn't know what deep hatred his biological father had, but no matter what, a real man should distinguish between gratitude and resentment, should not involve innocent people, and certainly not repay kindness with hatred!
His adoptive parents don't know martial arts and are not from the martial arts world, so it is impossible for them to be enemies with his biological father!
His mentor, Master Xuan Ku, never left Shaolin Temple and it was unlikely that he would become enemies with his biological father!
It is not a manly act to attack such an innocent person who has done him a favor!
The Qiao family lived on the sunny slope of Shaoshi Mountain, not far away.

Qiao Sanhuai and his wife usually delivered firewood and vegetables to Shaolin Temple in exchange for some money for a living. With their guidance, the three of them soon arrived at the gate of Shaolin Temple.

The news that Qiao Feng killed Wang Jiantong had already spread throughout the martial arts world.

When the gatekeeper monk heard that the visitor was actually Qiao Feng, his face changed drastically and he immediately summoned dozens of martial monks who were guarding the temple to surround Qiao Feng.

Qiao Feng was unwilling to fight them, but was also worried about Xuan Ku's safety. He ignored all etiquette and immediately mobilized his inner strength, shouting loudly in the direction of Shaolin Temple: "Abbot Xuanci, Master Xuanku, Qiao Feng has something urgent to discuss with you!"

The monks looked at each other, and for a moment, they didn't know whether they should take action.

But soon, a tall and fat monk walked out quickly and said, "Qiao Feng, come with us."

Qiao Feng was overjoyed and helped Qiao Sanhuai and his wife off the horse.

Qiao Sanhuai and his wife were frightened by the scene before them, and said tremblingly: "Feng'er, why don't you go in by yourself? We won't go in."

However, Qiao Feng did not dare to let Qiao Sanhuai and his wife out of his sight. There were many masters in Shaolin Temple, but only a few could compare with the man in black who was suspected to be his biological father!
Qiao Feng said, "Dad, Mom, I'm worried that the man in black might come and do something bad again. Let's go in together."

When Qiao Sanhuai and his wife heard this, they didn't dare to say anything else and just nodded in agreement.

The three followed the tall and fat monk all the way into the Shaolin Temple, and finally stopped at the gate of a courtyard called "Zhengdaoyuan".

The monk said, "The abbot and his men are inside, please go in."

Qiao Feng thanked them and walked in with Qiao Sanhuai and his wife.

From a distance, the sound of chanting could be heard.

Qiao Feng didn’t understand what scriptures they were reciting, but he could tell it was solemn and there was a hint of sadness in the voices of some of the people chanting.

Qiao Feng suddenly felt something was wrong and could not help but take a few quick steps.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he approached, he saw the two young monks guarding the door pointing at him with shock and anger: "You evil thief! You hurt Master Xuanku, and you still dare to come here!"

Qiao Feng's heart trembled, and he looked across the crowd and saw Master Xuan Ku also staring at him blankly, his expression was filled with shock, pain, and deep pity and regret: "You...you...it turns out to be you, you are Qiao Feng...I...I personally trained this good disciple..."

Before he could finish his words, Master Xuan Ku's pale face turned a strange red, and he spat out a mouthful of blood and fainted.

"Master!"

Qiao Feng yelled and tried to move forward, but an old monk had already blocked his way, his face full of anger: "Qiao Feng! Junior Brother Xuanku has always been skeptical that you would attack Hero Wang, and has been defending you. I never thought that you, a beast, would not even let him go! Today, I will rid the world of this evil being like you!"
