The Villain's Counterattack

Chapter 138: Confucian Hero Order

Seeing the wound on the back of Yin Li's hand, Song Qingshu knew that he was a step too late. He was afraid that Hu Qingniu and his wife had met with misfortune, so he found a remote place to help her treat the wound, took out some dry food and water to share with her, and then asked her in detail. Yin Li told him everything she knew.

After hesitating for a while, Song Qingshu decided to let Zhang Wuji go through some setbacks and hardships. He only needed to protect him in secret and prevent him from getting really hurt. However, in this way, this little girl would become a burden.

"A Li, I plan to gain experience in the martial arts world for a while, and secretly protect your cousin Zhang Wuji. Will you go back to Wudang Mountain first, or follow your cousin with me secretly?" Song Qingshu decided to send A Li back to Wudang Mountain.

"I want to follow you." The little girl chose Song Qingshu without thinking.

This actually surprised Song Qingshu. "Why? Back on Wudang Mountain, you have your aunt, uncle, and your young but adorable cousin. They're living a life of luxury and can even practice martial arts. Why would you want to follow me around?"

"Because you are a martial arts master." Little girl Yin Li said bluntly, "My father can't beat grandma, but grandma can't beat you. You said that aunt's martial arts are similar to father's, which means that aunt's martial arts must be inferior to yours. They are all older than you, but none of them is worse than you in martial arts. This shows that you are indeed very powerful. I will definitely become powerful if I follow you."

"Haha, you are indeed a smart little girl. Well, I just want to ask you one question, are you willing to join my Wudang sect and become the second disciple of your aunt?" Just by reading the original work, you can know that Yin Li has extraordinary talent and is quite resilient and persevering, but she has never had good martial arts, otherwise her achievements would definitely not be inferior to Zhou Zhiruo. When is the best time to recruit such a good seedling into Wudang?

"I do." Yin Li was smart and understood what Song Qingshu meant immediately and knelt before him. However, just as she was about to kowtow, she realized something was wrong: "Why should I kneel to you? If I have to kneel, it should be to my aunt."

"As long as you are willing, we can make up for this courtesy later. You should get up now. It's getting late today. Just rest here and we will leave tomorrow." Song Qingshu made a small hammock for Yin Li. After she fell asleep, he floated into the Butterfly Valley. Seeing Zhang Wuji and Yang Buhui sleeping soundly in Ji Xiaofu's grave, they felt quite unwilling in their hearts that they could not catch up in the end.

But if he rescues Ji Xiaofu, how will he face Yin Liting in the future? Should Zhang Wuji continue this difficult journey?

He couldn't return to Wudang Mountain with Yang Buhui. Otherwise, how could he explain this little girl's origins? She was the daughter of Ji Xiaofu and the great demon Yang Xiao, but Yang Xiao was still at Zuowang Peak. Could he take this opportunity to sneak into Guangmingding to find the "Great Shift of the Universe"?

This seems worth considering.

"Silly boy, I hope everything goes well for you. I, your senior brother, have been secretly protecting you all the way. I hope there won't be too many opportunities for me to take action, otherwise your journey will be interrupted. If you can really send her to Kunlun Mountain as in the original book, I will take you to find the "Nine Yang Divine Art." Song Qingshu checked his body and was relieved to see that there were not many scars. The "Iron Shirt" he taught him before was not useless. At least it was very resistant to beatings.

The next morning, Zhang Wuji and Yang Buhui left early, completely unaware that two people were following them not far behind. The little girl Yin Li was running on the ground, while Song Qingshu was leisurely riding his donkey. "Don't look at me like that. This is a good opportunity for you to practice your Qinggong. The Qinggong I'm teaching you is called 'Flying on the Grass'. Although it's not as good as the Qinggong of the Green-Winged Bat King, it's still top-notch in the martial arts world. If you master it to a high level, you'll be able to run and jump freely on grass and branches."

"Bullshit." Yin Li didn't believe it, but she was not really ignorant. This light skill was indeed much stronger than any skill she had practiced before, so she would naturally not miss it easily.

As night fell, Zhang Wuji and Yang Buhui found a cave to rest. Song Qingshu drove away the wild beasts around them, caught a rabbit, broke its legs and threw it in front of the cave to prevent Zhang Wuji and Yang Buhui from starving.

They are young and it's okay for them to suffer a little, but they can't do so every day. The journey to Kunlun is thousands of miles away, and the two children are really lucky to be able to arrive.

Following Zhang Wuji, Song Qingshu finally found the bodies of Hu Qingniu and Wang Nangu. He paid his respects in front of the simple grave left by Zhang Wuji and then continued on his way. Until they were captured by Jian Jie of Qiangdong Sect and Xue Gongyuan of Huashan Sect, he could not help but approach them quietly, shaking his head in his heart. This kid actually had strong internal strength, and his kung fu and medical skills were quite advanced. It was just that he had too little experience in fighting the enemy, otherwise it would not be impossible for him to escape.

No, he was still young after all, and it was quite difficult for him to escape with Yang Buhui. He felt relieved after seeing Zhang Wuji poison them all. Then Xu Da brought Tang He, Zheng Yu, Hua Yun, Zhu Yuanzhang and others to rescue them. They were all rough and generous men, but their behavior made Song Qingshu shake his head. This was a typical case of officials forcing the people to rebel.

In this chaotic and disastrous time, the Mongol Yuan Dynasty was about to come to an end.

After eating and drinking, they gave Zhang Wuji some beef, then took up their swords and guns to kill the Tartars. They burned, killed and looted, which was really enjoyable, but the methods and resource utilization efficiency were really speechless. After doing a great thing and killing the Tartars, several people were excited to go find the rebels, but they saw a donkey blocking their way. A pale-faced scholar was sitting on the donkey, and a little girl of twelve or thirteen years old was standing on the ground.

"Another beast in disguise." Tang He spat. Xu Da, however, was a prudent man and quickly pulled him back. Then he bowed and said, "Who are you? Why are you blocking the way for us brothers?"

Song Qingshu glanced at them, and in a flash he was next to them. He tapped their fingers several times, and several people were frozen before they even could react. They were horrified, knowing that they had met a master. They wanted to yell and curse, but found that even their mute points had been pressed, and they all looked ashen.

Song Qingshu casually took a short stick from their hands and practiced Taizu's stick technique in front of them, back and forth three times. Then he threw the short stick aside, took a big knife and slowly practiced a set of simple killing knife techniques three times. Then he changed to a long spear, still a set of military spear techniques, and finally a set of Taizu long fist.

At first, everyone didn't understand what he meant, but later they gradually realized that this young man was not a bad person, but just had a strange personality. He was actually teaching them kung fu, so they watched carefully for fear of missing the opportunity.

After practicing, Song Qingshu casually threw a booklet in front of Xu Da. After thinking for a while, he threw a token at Zhu Yuanzhang's feet. Then he rode away leisurely on his donkey. The little girl Yin Li followed closely behind him with light footwork.

After a moment, everyone suddenly felt relaxed, as if they could move again. They looked at each other in confusion. Xu Da picked up the booklet on the ground and took a closer look. It was a volume of military strategy. Zhu Yuanzhang was holding a small bronze plate, and no one knew what it was for.

"This person's dress reminds me of someone." Xu Da looked at the booklet in his hand, and a person's name emerged in his mind.

"Who is this expert?" Zhu Yuanzhang and others were quite curious. There were very few such extraordinary people in the world, and they did not expect that they would have such an adventure. Yes, for them, this was an adventure.

"Song Qingshu from Wudang Mountain."

"Song Qingshu, the Confucian hero?"

"He defeated the head of Mount Hua and the Wudang Confucian hero Song Qingshu, who had been preaching for ten months at the foot of Mount Wudang?"

"So you're from Wudang. No wonder you stopped us without saying a word and taught us martial arts. Of the six major sects, only the Wudang Sect is truly good. Not to mention the Seven Heroes of Wudang, we've also witnessed the character of Song Qingshu."

"Brother Xu, did that Confucian hero leave you a secret martial arts manual? The kind that would allow you to dominate the martial arts world if you learn it?"

"This is a military manual. Learning it won't allow you to conquer the Jianghu, but it will allow you to conquer the battlefield and drive out the Tartars. Young Master Song is rewarding us for killing the Tartars."

"What the hell is that sign in Brother Zhu's hand?"

"Could this be the Confucian Hero's Confucian Order? A token that can gain help from the Confucian scholars under the Confucian Hero's tutelage."

Stories about Confucian heroes have begun to spread in the martial arts world, and this Confucian Hero Order is one of them. It’s just that it is not well-known at present. One day, this Confucian Hero Order will shine.
