Chapter 95 Fulfill you
Qiao Feng and his group included the elderly, the weak and the injured, so their speed was much slower than when he came.
Fortunately, Qiao Feng had more than one talisman on him, and he fed Xuan Ku some talisman water on the way, and combined with the Shaolin Dahuan Pill, he successfully saved Xuan Ku's life.
On the way, Xuan Ci also asked Qiao Feng about Li Anran.
Qiao Feng trusted Xuan Ci, the highly respected Shaolin abbot, very much and told him everything he knew about Li Anran.
And what he experienced personally.
This included the time when he took the seriously ill Wang Jiantong to Chanhe Village for medical treatment, and Li Anran calculated that he would have a disaster in two years and removed the wolf head tattoo on his chest for him. It also went on to talk about how Li Anran calculated that people close to him might encounter unexpected events and gave him several talismans, and how he arrived at Shaoshi Mountain in time to save his parents.
The only thing that was concealed was that Li Anran figured out that the person who killed Wang Jiantong was his biological father.
Xuan Ci was stunned.
If he had not witnessed the mystery of the talisman with his own eyes, he would never believe what Qiao Feng said and would only think that Qiao Feng was bewitched and possessed by an evil spirit.
As Qiao Feng was talking, he suddenly recalled the strange feeling he had noticed in Shaolin Temple.
Xuan Ci convinced Xuan Ji that he was not the murderer because "If Donor Qiao really attacked Junior Brother Xuan Ku, why would he come to his own trap now? And bring his parents with him?"
However, he remembered very clearly that he did not say at that time that Qiao Sanhuai and his wife were his parents. How did Xuanci recognize them?
A guess suddenly flashed through Qiao Feng's mind, and he blurted out, "Abbot Xuanci, were you the one who sent me to my adoptive parents back then?"
Xuan Ci was startled, clasped his hands together, chanted "Amitabha", and nodded in acknowledgement: "It was indeed me."
Qiao Feng was surprised, happy, and a little nervous: "Abbot Xuanci, what exactly happened back then? Please tell me."
Xuan Ci sighed and said, "Donor Qiao, I still don't understand what happened back then. Can you please forgive me for some time, and wait for me to find out the whole story, and then tell you everything."
Qiao Feng was a little surprised and didn't understand why the incident that happened thirty years ago had not been clarified yet, but he still nodded and agreed.
The most important thing now is to treat his master, Master Xuanku, and everything else can be put off until later.
The group traveled day and night, and in just a few days, they arrived at Gusu City.
Qiao Feng was already familiar with the route and found the medicine shop of Chanhe Manor in the city. Just as he was about to state his identity and purpose, he saw A-Bi coming out.
A Bi said, "Boss Qiao, my master knew you would come today, so he asked me to wait here early in the morning. Please follow me."
Qiao Feng was already used to Li Anran's divination skills, so he was not surprised. He just said, "Miss A-Bi, I am no longer the leader of the Beggars' Sect. You don't need to say the name Qiao anymore. If it gets out, people will laugh at me."
A-Bi spoke up for Qiao Feng: "Master Qiao, my master said that anyone who ignores individual differences, does not consider a person's character and actions, and only judges based on bloodline original sin is a clown. Master Qiao, you don't have to care about their thoughts."
Qiao Feng was very concerned about the debate between Chinese and foreigners, which was why he was so distressed. Hearing this, he felt his face getting hot and said ashamedly, "Mr. Murong is right. I know what I should do next time."
Xuan Ci was not surprised that Li Anran had such an understanding. The Murong clan itself originated from the Xianbei, so it was normal for Li Anran to have such an idea.
What he really cared about was Qiao Feng's reaction.
After knowing his true origins, Qiao Feng felt extremely distressed and conflicted.
Xuan Ci is the same.
What happened back then was undoubtedly their fault. They kept Qiao Feng and raised him to adulthood in order to make up for the mistakes they had made.
However, they did not expect that Qiao Feng would be so outstanding. Relying only on his basic Shaolin martial arts, he managed to complete the three difficult problems and seven great achievements set by Wang Jiantong. This forced Wang Jiantong to accept him as his apprentice, and later he became the new leader of the Beggars' Sect.
Having such a person on our side is like having a great hero who can be trusted and entrusted with important tasks.
If it were the Liao Kingdom, it would be a serious and difficult problem to deal with.
Xuan Ci did not directly tell Qiao Feng the truth of that year. Not only because he was not sure whether Murong Bo deliberately spread false information or was deceived like him, but also because he wanted to have more time to observe Qiao Feng so as to decide how to treat him.
Seeing that Qiao Feng was sincere and serious, and that he agreed with Li Anran's words, Xuan Ci breathed a sigh of relief and finally made up his mind.
"We have already made a big mistake back then, and we must not make another mistake now. Qiao Feng is a man who values friendship and loyalty, and is clear about gratitude and resentment. He will definitely not vent his anger on ordinary people because of what happened back then. If I can end this grudge with my life, it will be worth it."
As he thought about it, A-Bi had already brought them on board, and soon they arrived outside Chanhe Village.
From a distance, Xuan Ci saw a handsome, elegant and carefree man wearing a light yellow shirt standing on the shore waiting.
"It's so similar..."
Xuan Ci was a little dazed for a moment and couldn't help but turn his head to look at Qiao Feng beside him.
The two men are at least 70% to 80% similar to their respective fathers, if not 100% similar.
In a trance, he really thought he had returned to thirty years ago.
When Xuan Ci was looking at Li Anran, Li Anran also directly used the technique of looking at qi on him.
Xuanci's luck was slightly worse than Qiao Feng's, barely reaching red.
And his recent fortune is even worse, with a hint of black in the gray, which is a sign that his life is in danger!
"Mr. Murong, this is Master Xuanci, the abbot of Shaolin Temple, and this is my mentor, Master Xuanku."
Qiao Feng introduced the two parties and said, "My master was attacked by a surprise attack. His chest was hit by a palm, which shattered his internal organs. In this world, no one can cure him except Master Murong, so I have come here to ask Master Murong to save his life."
Xuan Ci also clasped his hands together and said, "Please help my junior brother, Master Murong. Xuan Ci will never forget your kindness in the future."
Li Anran said: "Abbot Xuanci is too serious. Treating illnesses and saving lives is the duty of a doctor."
Li Anran walked forward and checked Xuan Ku's injuries.
Xuan Ku's injuries were extremely severe, with tiny cracks all over his internal organs. On Earth, he would have been dead for sure, but it was different in this world with internal energy!
Li Anran pressed his hand on Xuan Ku's Tanzhong acupoint and injected his true energy into Xuan Ku's body.
The infinite true qi he cultivated was the product of the fusion of the yin and yang qi between heaven and earth. Not only did it have a healing effect far superior to ordinary internal energy, it also had the effect of strengthening the foundation and strengthening the source of life. Wherever the infinite true qi passed, Xuan Ku's broken meridians gradually recovered, his body was replenished with vitality, his cells quickly became active, began to grow and divide continuously, and repaired the cracks in his internal organs bit by bit.
This is a slow and delicate job and you can't be impatient at all.
It took Li Anran almost half an hour to repair the cracks.
Xuan Ku's face gradually regained color and his coughing became noticeably less severe.
By the time Li Anran withdrew his hand, Xuan Ku had already stood up and put his hands together: "Thank you, Master Murong, for saving my life."
Xuan Ci also clasped his hands together and said repeatedly, "Thank you, Master Murong," with horror in his heart.
He knew best how serious Xuan Ku's injuries were. He originally thought that even if Li Anran could treat him, it would take several months or even a year or two to heal.
Unexpectedly, in less than half an hour, before they even got off the boat, Xuan Ku's injuries had already healed for the most part.
Li Anran said this modestly, then led everyone to the center of the hall and sat them down according to the host and guest seats.
Ah Zhu had already prepared tea. After pouring it for everyone, she and Ah Bi stood behind Li Anran, one on the left and one on the right.
The two sides first exchanged some simple courtesies and said some flattering words to each other.
Xuan Ci said, "Mr. Murong, could you please move outside the hall? I have something to ask you."
Li Anran glanced at Qiao Feng and said, "Master Abbot, just ask here. Truth cannot be hidden, and there is no need to hide it. There is no need to avoid Master Qiao about these matters."
Qiao Feng was stunned for a moment, then he remembered that there was one thing Xuan Ci said about what happened that year that he had not yet figured out.
What happened back then was actually related to the Gusu Murong clan?
Qiao Feng was shocked.
He originally thought that it was incredible enough that his life experience could involve the abbots of the Shaolin and Beggars' Sect, two of the largest gangs in the world!
Unexpectedly, it would involve the Gusu Murong family far away in Suzhou, Jiangnan!
Xuan Ci asked, "Did your father tell you everything that happened back then?"
Li Anran shook his head: "He didn't tell me anything, I figured it out myself. Abbot Xuanci, if you have any questions, just ask me."
Xuan Ci was a little surprised, but seeing Li Anran said this, he also got straight to the point: "What happened back then, was your father deceived by someone, or did he do it on purpose?"
Li Anran said: "It was intentional."
Xuanci: “???”
Xuan Ci opened his eyes wide, his face full of disbelief.
He had thought of this possibility, but he never expected that Li Anran would give this answer so lightly, without even a hint of excuse!
Xuan Ci was a little bit unconvinced, and said solemnly: "Master Murong, this matter concerns your father's reputation after his death, you must not answer rashly! Are you really sure?"
Li Anran nodded without hesitation: "I'm sure. The Gusu Murong clan is a descendant of the Murong clan of the Yan Kingdom during the Sixteen Kingdoms period. Since the fall of the Yan Kingdom, they have been obsessed with rebuilding the country."
"Although I don't know what happened back then, the purpose was nothing more than to sow discord between the Liao Kingdom and the Song Dynasty, causing unrest so that the Murong clan could fish in troubled waters and reap the benefits."
Although Li Anran obtained Murong Fu's memories, it was more like watching a documentary as a bystander and he did not inherit Murong Fu's emotions.
To him, Murong Bo was just a stranger he had never met before, and he was already showing mercy by not directly exposing Murong Bo's plan to fake his death and steal the scriptures.
But even so, his words still made Xuanci, Xuanku, Qiao Feng, and even Azhu and Abi drop their jaws in shock.
Isn't plotting to overthrow the country Murong clan's biggest secret?
Why did you just say it directly?
Azhu and Abi were very anxious and wanted to step forward to interrupt.
Li Anran raised his hand to signal the two to calm down, and said to Xuanci and others: "Abbot Xuanci, the reason why I want to tell these things in public is to make my attitude clear and to cut ties with the former Murong family."
"It has been nearly seven hundred years since the fall of the Yan Kingdom. The so-called restoration of the country is nothing but wishful thinking. I have no interest in these things. I just want to live my life in peace and contentment."
"I will also give up the surname Gusu Murong and the name of restoring the country. From now on, I will change my surname to Li and name myself An Ran. I also ask Abbot Xuan Ci to be a witness for me."
Xuan Ci looked at Li Anran, and seeing that Li Anran was calm and not dodging, he knew that what he said was true. He put his hands together and said sincerely: "Murong... It is a blessing for the world that Master Li has such thoughts."
Although Xuan Ci rarely left Shaolin, he always paid attention to the affairs of the martial arts world and was very aware of Li Anran's high reputation in Gusu and even in the whole of Jiangnan.
With such a high reputation, coupled with Li Anran's skills in divination and healing with talismans and water, it would be easy for him to launch a "Yellow Turban Rebellion" in the Song Dynasty if he really wanted to, and it is not impossible for him to take this opportunity to restore his country.
By then, there will be endless wars and countless lives lost.
Fortunately, Li Anran does not have such ambition.
"Master..."
A'zhu and A'bi had complicated expressions and wanted to persuade Li Anran to think twice, but they knew their identities and it was not their turn to interrupt in such matters. They could only stand aside silently.
Xuan Ci resolved the last doubt in his heart, and seeing that Li Anran was so frank, he no longer concealed anything and told him everything that happened that year.
Qiao Feng's face changed again and again. He never expected that there was such a complicated and tortuous story hidden behind his life experience. For a moment, he was a little confused and at a loss.
Although Xuanci led his men to ambush and kill his mother, the Liao and Song countries had been enemies for generations, and Xuanci was deceived. After realizing his mistake, he tried his best to make amends.
Qiao Feng felt more resentment than hatred towards him, and could even understand what Xuanci did.
Murong Bo, the culprit and the one who deserved the most retribution, is already dead.
He and Murong Bo's son Murong Fu, no, now it should be said that Li Anran are of the same mind and owe each other many favors. He knows all these things with the help of the other party!
Qiao Feng just felt upset and didn't know what to do.
Xuan Ci clasped his hands together and said, "Donor Qiao, although the incident back then was caused by Murong Bo, it was also my fault for listening to one side and believing it. Now that Murong Bo is dead, I am willing to end this cause and effect with my life. I only hope that you and your father can let go of those who were deceived and didn't know the inside story."
Xuan Ku was very anxious and called out, "Brother Abbot!"
Xuan Ci smiled and said, "Brother, you once said that the suffering of 'meeting with those you hate' is an inevitable state in life. It is the karma that you have planted in your past lives. Today, I am paying off this karma, and you should be happy for me."
Qiao Feng's eyes were red, as if he had made up his mind, and he shouted, "Okay! I'll help you!" He raised his hand and patted Xuan Ci.
