[Comprehensive Martial Arts] Destiny Green Book

The city of Yangjubaa is like spring all the year round.

Its cold ends in coolness, and summer ends in warmth. There is little difference in temperature throughout the year.

As the capital of Dali, this city is naturally very prosperous. Businessmen and travelers from all over the world in different clothes come and go every day, and the streets and alleys are usually noisy and lively.

Song Qingshu and Ye Gucheng have stayed in Yangjubaa City for nearly half a month.

A few months ago, the two parted with Yin Liting and Xiao Feng at the foot of Shaoshi Mountain, and at the invitation of Duan Yu, they set off for Dali.

As for Duan Yu himself who proposed the invitation, he did not accompany the two of them.

——He was going to see off Xiao Feng, the sworn brother, at least send him and Yin Liting to the border area near the desert, entrust the two of them to Jin Mantang and his caravan, and watch them embark on the journey to the Yuan Kingdom , before turning around and returning to Dali on its own.

Duan Yu promised at that time that when he returned to Dali, he would treat Song Ye and Song Ye with the utmost hospitality as a landlord.

Song Qingshu was not greedy for his hospitality.

But he and Ye Gucheng didn't have any other places to go, since Duan Yu sincerely invited them, they agreed.

And Dali is just like Duan Yu said, the scenery is very good.The folk customs are more open than those of the Song Dynasty, and because the royal family respects Buddhism, the people conform to Shangyi. Buddhist temples and pagodas can be seen everywhere in the territory, and monks have a lot of status in the country. In comparison, it is a country with a very strong religious atmosphere.

At first, Ye Gucheng was worried that Song Qingshu might not be able to adapt to such an environment because of his attachment to Buddhism, but seeing Song Qingshu's reaction and seeing that everything seemed to be as usual, he felt relieved a little.

Half a month is enough time for the two of them to go on a tour together and roughly visit the city of Yangjubaa.

As a result, the two listened to all kinds of rumors from teahouses, restaurants and streets and alleys, almost verbatim.

Rumors are naturally true and false, so you can't believe it.

However, two of them, according to Song Qingshu, are quite credible.

First, Master Xuanci, the abbot of Shaolin, passed away due to illness.

Second, Murong Fu, the contemporary patriarch of the Murong family in Gusu, was confirmed to be a descendant of Xianbei. His family has been "reviving the Great Swallow" for several generations. Before that, Murong Fu was accused of sneaking into Xixia Yipin Hall secretly. At that time, his purpose was unknown. Now it seems that , I am afraid it is also related to the "revival" he planned...

The first one is actually no longer a rumor, but a real news after it is confirmed.

Although Shaolin has always had great prestige in the Song Dynasty, and since Master Xuanci succeeded to the position of abbot, he has also gained a good reputation in the world, but because he passed away "due to illness", many people think it is normal, and the abbot of Shaolin has changed. Although it is a big event, it is not surprising. Outsiders who don't know what's going on, can at most lament that Abbot Xuanci seems to have a much shorter lifespan than his predecessor, and don't think about anything else.

But in the eyes of Song Qingshu and Ye Gucheng, who are familiar with the inside story, Master Xuanci's "death due to illness" is definitely inseparable from Xiao Yuanshan's specious remarks about revenge that night.

Perhaps this matter is related to Xuanci, and even the reputation of Shaolin as a whole, so Xuanci would rather choose to end it by himself than to bury it with his life, leaving Shaolin with a clean reputation.

Song Qingshu and Ye Gucheng were not very interested in what was hidden in it, but during their brief contact, Xuanci was a pretty good person, and they were a little bit sorry for his death.

As for the others, they have no intention of delving into it.

And the second rumor is much more interesting in the eyes of the two of them.

First of all, the Murong family tried their best to cover up their origins for more than 100 years, and they were exposed in such a way.

Regardless of whether people in the world believe it or not, once this news reaches the ears of the Emperor of Song, no matter whether it is true or not, Murong Fu will probably be named by the Emperor of Song—as the saying goes, how can others snore on the side of the couch? , as an emperor, how could he not have the slightest defense against those who covet the country in his hands?

As a result, the Murong family's property, no matter on the surface or in the dark, will probably suffer a lot.

And Murong Fu himself...

From then on, I am afraid that there will be constant troubles.

What's more, this rumor also exposed the fact that he had sneaked into Xixia Yipin Hall secretly, and added a sentence "The purpose of this move was unknown, but now it is probably related to the 'resurrection plan'" , it's just a matter of clearly leading everyone to associate this move in the direction that Murong Fuyu and Yipintang will join forces, which is not good for the Song Dynasty.

If you want to ask who is the most hated by the Jianghu people and the people of the Song Dynasty, the answer is that besides the Liao Kingdom, it is Xixia.

However, because of the exposure of the Khitan people's life experience, Xiao Feng attracted countless insults, hostility, framed accusations and slanders, it's no wonder that Murong Fu did such a thing, not to be cast aside by everyone.

After hearing such rumors, he still wants to maintain his original image of the handsome and elegant son of a troubled time among dragons and phoenixes...

It's not as realistic as dreaming.

Song Qingshu didn't expect Xiao Yuanshan's method of revenge to be so... roundabout.

He originally thought that with Xiao Yuanshan's simple and rude behavior style, he would simply take Murong Fu's life and settle the matter.

Who knew he could come up with such a trick.

"This is really... I hate Murong Bo so much, and I feel that his death is too simple to relieve the hatred, so I can only transfer the resentment that cannot be vented on him to Murong Fu, who is his son. ..."

Song Qingshu guessed so.

However, Xiao Yuanshan's whereabouts after he left Shaolin has become a mystery. Even though Murong Fu was exposed halfway, he did not leave any trace. I am afraid that even with all the power, they will not be able to find out the true identity of the person behind the scenes, let alone know what the other party's purpose is, and what kind of deep hatred they have with themselves...

Thinking of how broken Murong Fu's heart would be at this time, Song Qingshu couldn't help but want to laugh - he really didn't like Murong Fu at all. Seeing his bad luck, although he wouldn't step on his feet, but his mood would be affected by it It became clear but also an indisputable fact.

"I don't know what will happen to Mr. Murong in the future."

Sitting on the street facing the largest restaurant in the city, listening to the "latest" rumors from the storyteller coming from the lobby on the first floor from time to time, Song Qingshu picked up a chopstick, chewed and swallowed it slowly, and let out a sigh of relief. A sigh of contentment.

Ye Gucheng gave him a funny look, and raised his hand to add a new cup of warm tea for him.

"It's all about success and defeat." He said in a nonchalant manner, "Given his current situation, it is probably impossible to become a king. If he can wake up in time and stop here, he can still save his life."

Today, the entire continent, from every big country to countless small countries, advocates martial arts, and people from the rivers and lakes can be said to be everywhere in the mainland.

The imperial courts of various countries basically adopt a laissez-faire attitude towards the domestic martial arts sects, large and small, and the knights who come and go, without excessive interference or control.

Compared with ordinary people, quacks have a lot more freedom and "privileges" in various countries, so if they are not sincere in their death, or the domestic environment is special, most quacks don't need to worry about being targeted by the court.

Murong Fuyuan was also in this ranks.

But now...

Since he already has the intention of plotting against him, generations of the Murong family have persevered and "tired" for this. May I ask, who in power can tolerate Murong Fu and the Murong family?

That's why Ye Gucheng said that if Murong Fu stopped in time, his life might still be saved—after all, the imperial court also had scruples about the forces in the Jianghu. , Emperor Song couldn't kill him anymore.

But if Murong Fu is still stubborn...

That's not because the court of the Song Dynasty couldn't tolerate people, but because he thought his life was too long.

At that time, no matter how the imperial court treats him, the rest of the martial arts people will not have any objections.

Is this simple?

simple.

Is it obvious?

Also.

Murong Fu can't figure it out?

impossible.

But the question is, is he willing to figure it out?

If he really wants to, he doesn't have to wait until now.

At least he shouldn't be a fool to be able to achieve a reputation on par with Xiao Feng in the former Song Dynasty martial arts.

But he just couldn't see through himself and his family. The so-called great cause of restoring the country that generations have been pursuing is just a fantasy, and the possibility of realizing it is very slim.

"It can only be said that if people can face and see clearly the obsessions in their hearts, then obsessions will not become obsessions."

Song Qingshu shook his head and sighed.

Even himself, didn't he almost fall into obsession a while ago, and even have a demon because of it?

Not to mention others.

From this point of view, maybe Murong Fu isn't so annoying.

In the final analysis, what he is doing now is nothing more than an obsession passed down from generation to generation in the Murong family that his father instilled in his mind since he was a child and forced him to accept it.

He thought that everything came from his own will, but perhaps, it was not the case.

Thinking about it this way, I suddenly felt that Murong Fu seemed a bit pitiful...

As soon as such a thought came to his mind, Song Qingshu couldn't help being startled, and then laughed.

When did he actually become so soft-hearted.

so thought...

intolerable.

I can't.

Song Qingshu thought about it, was about to open his mouth to say something to change the subject, raised his eyes, but saw Ye Gucheng who seemed to have a feeling, was smiling slightly, looking at himself softly...

Song Qingshu's heart froze suddenly.

There was an inexplicable emotion rising from the heart, ignited by Ye Gucheng's gaze, the flames scattered, as if they were going to cover every corner of the body in the blink of an eye...

"Ah Cheng, you..."

"Brother Song! City Lord Ye! I kept you waiting for a long time, and I'm back!"

It was too late to speak, and the words that he didn't know what the content would be were suddenly interrupted by a greeting from far to near. Song Qingshu quickly withdrew his interlaced gaze with Ye Gucheng, turned his head, and looked at Duan Yu with a cheerful smile on his face. He came up from downstairs in two steps, and for a moment, he didn't know whether it was the emotion in his heart, whether it should be called happiness or regret.

What the hell happened to him...

Raising his hand to caress his still beating chest, Song Qingshu frowned slightly, thinking solemnly.
