"Chase!" shouted Lu Ci once again. His body flew like an arrow. He burst through the window and chased her out.
The bodyguards scattered in pursuit. Tai Cu-pei and Jit Sang were also not left behind. Tian-liong-siang-jin, who managed to escape from the Lu family building, ran forward while hugging the soat-lian box tightly. The art of lightening his body was not under Lu Ci's Ci-bu-kim-hoan.
Their martial arts skills are almost equal. Except for Ci-bu-kimhoan, the others had to give chase, short of breath.
While running, Tian-liong- noon-jin did not pick and choose. Sometimes he darts over the roof tiles of people's houses and tramples them at will. Automatically the tiles fell apart. Especially if he floated back down.
Whoever was in front of him was crushed to the ground. Lu Ci himself naturally couldn't do such an act. Basically Tian-liongsiang-jin is already like a crazy person. Lu Ci had to move little by little among the crowds of people passing by before he could continue his pursuit.
As a result, he gradually fell behind. Not far ahead there was a small forest. Tian-liong-siang-jin burst into the forest. Cibu-kim-hoan Lu Ci laughed coldly. Ten gold bracelets have been clasped in the hand.
“Singg!” a small bracelet slid into the forest and hurt Tian-liong-siang-jin's back. It turned out that the person could still feel the biting pain behind his back. Automatically he turned his body. Lu Ci dashed as fast as lightning at the same time and floated down before Tian-liong-siangjin.
“Tian-lion! Who ordered you to do this? Answer!" he snapped angrily.
Tian-liong-noon-jin did not answer. His eyes were still staring blankly ahead.
“Give me back the box. Given our close relationship, maybe I'll spare a piece of your life!"
Tian-liong-siang-jin hugged the box even tighter. His feet took a step back. Lu Ci's body shot forward and stretched out his hand but Lu Ci dodged his attack.
Lu Ci's other hand immediately grabbed the box in Tian-liong-siang-jin's hand. Where did that person want to give away just like that, he turned his body then shifted to the side. But instead he let his back face Lu Ci.
Lu Ci made good use of the opportunity. His palm violently struck the back of Tianliong-siang-jin's back. The person only grunted once then shot forward. Lu Ci immediately
his feet shot up into the air and floated before Tian-liong-siang-jin. Once again his hand reached out to grip the box.
A pair of Tian-liong-noon-jin palms developed in the air. Apparently he was throwing the box. Lu Ci had seen it. He again stamped his feet on the ground and shot up to grab the box.
A flash of light glittered like lightning flashed from the side.
The sword was six cun long. The sharpness is immeasurable. Lu Ci who was in the air had to bend his waist to the side to avoid the attack.
He also missed the box containing the soat-lian. The box floated back into Tian-liong-siang-jin's hands.
He tightly hugged the box and carried it running back. Lu Ci didn't chase, it wasn't that he didn't want to. But Rain, Wind, Lightning, and Thunder had already started attacking him.
The Lightning Sword didn't manage to cut him, Geledek's machete had already arrived. Rain Needles followed closely the movements of Thunder's saber, but one after another the attacks were dodged by Lu Ci.
His body didn't stop flashing, once again he managed to dodge the flicking of Wind's sleeve. He immediately intended to go after Tian-liong- noon-jin . But in the front was already blocking Thian-ti. His fists and feet moving swiftly blocked Lu Ci from advancing forward.
Meanwhile, Tai Cu-pei, Jit Sang, and the other bodyguards had arrived. There was an exciting battle. Fu Hiong-kun was just getting ready to help, Thian-ti had already scolded him, "Hiong-kun, quickly go get the box!"
Lu Ci saw the girl dart away. He was furious. The bracelet in his hand was immediately thrown but was parried by Thian-ti.
“Kill! Don't let anyone escape!” shouted Thian-ti furiously.
–––
Finally Song Ngo Lin shook the earpiece in his hand. He had been waiting for quite some time under the bridge to the west of town. Coincidentally Tian-liongsiang-jin was rushing towards him. As soon as he heard the sound of silence, he was momentarily stunned. A moment later he ran again towards the source of the sound.
From afar Song Ngo Lin saw Tian-liong-siang-jin running towards him. He even stood stunned.
Is it the person who came to greet me at the Tian-liong-noon-jin jogger? Was Tian-liongsiang-jin actually in league with Fu Hiong-kun's people?
He was still standing in astonishment. Tian-liong- noon-jin was already in front of him. In Tian-liong-noon-jin's view, the person standing in front of him was not Song Ngo Lin, but Rain. His eyes remained empty, but his lips curved into a smile. Suddenly he hugged Song Ngo Lin tightly and his thick lips kissed the young man's entire face.
"My dear, I've brought soat-lian for you!" while smiling grin Tian-liong-siang-jin said with a kenes voice. He opened the box and took out its contents.
It turned out that the soat-lian was as big as a fist. The color is sparkling white. One look, people are convinced that this plant is truly a rare heirloom.
In Tian-liong-noon-jin's view there was only Rain. Without more words, he immediately shoved the soat-lian into Rain's tiny mouth.
Song Ngo Lin has lost his martial arts skills. He couldn't put up any resistance at all. He couldn't even rebel, like it or not, he was forced to swallow the soat-lian. A body of cool and fresh air immediately infiltrates his heart. Then it flows throughout the body. Meanwhile, Tian-liong-siang-jin was already holding Song Ngo Lin and kissing him greedily.
Fu Hiong-kun followed arrived. From afar he could already see what happened between Tian-liong-siang-jin and Song Ngo Lin.
His face conveyed his confused feelings. But he kept running over and slapping his palm towards Tian-liong-siang-jin's skull.
The person didn't dodge. He fell unconscious instantly. Meanwhile, Song Ngo Lin's body shook and trembled. Seeing his state, Fu Hiong-kun was very worried. He immediately approached and supported Song Ngo Lin's body.
Then he reached out to touch the young man's forehead. He was very surprised because the young man's forehead was cold as a block of ice.
“Gi-toako, what happened?” asked Fu Hiong-kun while pulling his hand from Song Ngo Lin's forehead.
The young man tried to open his mouth. A body of cold white steam gushed out. His entire face was dripping with icy cold sweat. Fu Hiong-kun's body trembled.
Suddenly his mind stirred. Especially after he saw the empty box lying on the ground. He remembered that Tianliong- noon-jin had once been hypnotized with soul diversion by Rain, so he could immediately guess what had happened.
Quickly he glanced around. He did not dare to stay long in that place. Nervously, he supported Song Ngo Lin walking forward. The young man's body was still shivering continuously. His face was already getting paler.
–––
Even though Lu Ci's martial arts skills were very high, under the mob of five leaders from Siau-yau-kok, he could only parry and evade himself. Jit Sang and Tai Cu-pei had already collapsed at the hands of Thunder and Lightning a long time ago. The bodyguards really can not be relied upon.
By relying on their martial arts skills, of course they are no match for Rain, Wind, Lightning, or Thunder. Lu Ci who saw his comrades and bodyguards collapse one by one felt very angry and panicked at the same time. Once his attention was scattered, Thian-ti's palm immediately hit him and at the same time Lightning's sword also succeeded in injuring him.
He realized that if he continued to fight, he would surely die here. And he also realized that Tian-liong- noon-jin must have been used by them. If it's only based on one's own strength, especially in a situation like this, it's certainly difficult to take Soat-lian back from their hands. Even though he himself was injured, his attention could no longer be focused. He took a deep breath, he successively threw his four golden bracelets to open a path and fled as fast as lightning.
The Rain Needles immediately scattered, but were unable to catch up to Lu Ci's shadow. Just now the other people wanted to give chase, but they were again prevented by Thian-ti. Lu Ci ran towards the city center where he had come from earlier. This proved that for the time being he had no interest in reclaiming the soat-lian. Meanwhile, Thian-ti's aim is just that.
Fu Hiong-kun went to see Tian-liong-siang-jin alone. They still couldn't be sure if something wouldn't happen to the girl. Thian-ti gave the order with a loud snap. In an instant Wind, Rain, Lightning, and Thunder rushed at Fu Hiong-kun's direction.
Thian-ti followed behind. Not long after the five people left, Tok Ku Bwee and several Bu-ti-bun frontmen arrived. Seeing the situation in that place, they realized that it was too late. Especially after noticing the scars of the bodyguards who had turned into corpses, they could immediately tell that all of this was the result of the actions of the Siau-yau- really people. They just stood transfixed while taking deep breaths.
However, it did not occur to them that the work of the Siau-yau-however people was also in vain. The Soat-lian that was contested was now in Song Ngo Lin's stomach.
–––
Forty-seven days later, Fu Hiong-kun was a lot thinner, but his face was always full of smiles.
Song Ngo Lin was still submerged in a barrel of water whose surface kept bubbling and billowing white steam. The water is hot water. At that time Song Ngo Lin was soaking in it to survive.
Ping-san's Soat-lian has a very high im power. It is also the only priceless heirloom in the world. Of course, in the future there will be such soat-lian again. But that would happen again a thousand years later.
Who could have guessed what would happen a thousand years later. For people whose illness is not serious or who just want to increase their inner strength, using just a little bit of this soat-lian or in other words a single flower can provide immeasurable benefits. Meanwhile, Song Ngo Lin swallowed it whole and definitely did not use the required rules. That was why the cold chill from the soat-lian immediately ran through his body's blood circulation. If Fu Hiong-kun had not found him, he would have frozen to death by now.
Fu Hiong-kun has been doing research in medicine for a long time. He understands very well the properties of the soat-lian, also knows how to eat it.
But when he found out about this, Song Ngo Lin had already swallowed the soat-lian whole. Now the only way is to find a way to awaken the air that is in Song Ngo Lin's own body to help him. He himself did not dare to confirm whether immersing Song Ngo Lin in hot water would have any benefits or not.
But this is the only way to save Song Ngo Lin's life. He had to muster up the courage to try. After walking seven day, he just brought Song Ngo Lin to this place. At that time, Song Ngo Lin's whole body was stiff, his skin was frozen like ice.
After soaking one day and one night in a barrel filled with hot water, Song Ngo Lin's consciousness just recovered. Now he can awaken his pure air. Even the circulation of the pure air within his body was much more rapid than before he was injured. But he still did not come out of the barrel filled with hot water. He didn't forget what Fu Hiong-kun had said, that he had to penetrate all of his clogged and even trembled veins. Otherwise, his strength would still not be able to recover even if the pure air was flowing. There is even the possibility of getting worse.
Fu Hiong-kun continues to look after and care for him tirelessly. Seeing the girl's painstaking efforts to heal him, Song Ngo Lin was touched and very grateful. Every day when he opens his eyes, he must say a few words to express his appreciation and gratitude. Likewise today.
"Fu-kouwnio, you have managed to take care of me in such a way…." Song Ngo Lin's words had only been answered half of by Fu Hiong-kun.
“You feel uneasy, deeply moved, don't you?”
Fu Hiong-kun shook his head. "I don't know how many times you've said these words."
He took an egg from the surface of the bubbling water and peeled it off. With great patience and care he fed it into Song Ngo Lin's mouth. The egg is already cooked. Basically, the water in which Song Ngo Lin immersed himself was like a pot of freshly boiled water.
Song Ngo Lin swallowed the egg bit by bit. He took a deep breath.
“There is a problem that makes my heart uneasy and feels very guilty,” he said.
"What's the matter again?"
“For my sake, you've stayed here a few days. Your household must be very worried.”
"They can only force me to do things I don't want to do," said Fu Hiong-kun in a sad tone.
Song Ngo Lin was even more moved. "Sometimes I even miss a family who doesn't get enough of scolding me."
Fu Hiong-kun was stunned. "Are you an orphan already?"
“Should I still have an outer grandfather. In the end he was killed too.” Song Ngo Lin gritted his teeth tightly. “I will never forget the sword-about five-six c long and shining like lightning!”
Once again Fu Hiong-kun was stunned. “Who are you really? Why are so many people displeased with you?”
“Actually, I don't understand myself either,” Song Ngo Lin laughed bitterly. "Since childhood I've been brought to Wudang-san."
"Apparently you are Wudang-pay's disciple!"
“Only fit to be called a subordinate,” said Song Ngo Lin as he reminisced about his bitter past. “Up on the mountain, everyone is always insulting me. No one has ever appreciated me. Finally, I was even slandered as an apostate student who killed ciangbunjin Wudang-pay!”
Fu Hiong-kun's body shook at his words. "Gitoako, actually what is your family surname?"
"Actually, I am she Song, but because my father purified himself and became a Wudang-pay ciangbunjin, I followed she mother..."
“She Song?” Even Fu Hiong-kun's voice was trembling now. "You are Song Ngo Lin?"
Song Ngo Lin nodded his head without the slightest hint of suspicion.
“Surely you have also heard the grapevine in the world of kangouw. All of that is just slander and stratagem for me trapped. Fu-kouwnio, just imagine, how could I possibly kill my own father!” Song Ngo Lin lowered his head lowly. “But they all remained in disbelief...”
"I believe," said Fu Hiong-kun bowing his head as well.
Song Ngo Lin immediately smiled at his words.
“You people of the Fu clan are all well. At least the ones I've met are all made up of good people. In Wudang-san right now, I'm sure Futoako is the only one who still believes in me.”
“Fu-toako?”
"His name is Fu Jade-su!"
Fu Hiong-kun's heart sank instantly.
“I should have gone to Wudang-san and looked for Futoako to explain everything,” Song Ngo Lin said next.
"Don't you ever go to Wudang-san again!" said Fu Hiong-kun subconsciously.
"Why?" asked Song Ngo Lin confused.
Fu Hiong-kun hesitated for a moment.
"I'm afraid your wound hasn't healed at all. If you go to Wudang-san, you might actually run into danger.”
Song Ngo Lin did not hear Fu Hiong-kun's tone of sorrow at all. Hiong-kun's heart is getting depressed. He advised Song Ngo Lin not to think too much just yet. The most important thing now was to heal the wound. He said nothing more.
The barrel in which Song Ngo Lin was placed was poured with natural hot water gushing from a hole above his head. They were in a deep and secluded cave. No one came to disturb. The day passed quietly and quietly. But Fu Hiong-kun's heart was getting restless and awry. From Song Ngo Lin's statement, more or less he already knew what happened to the young man. Precisely this is what makes his heart uneasy.
He wanted to confess frankly in front of Song Ngo Lin, but he didn't have that courage. He really regretted himself being born into a family of leaders of the most cunning humans in the world.
Early in the morning on the second day. He came out of their hiding place and headed for a nearby hamlet.
He bought Song Ngo Lin a set of clothes. He also borrowed paper and a mopit to write a short letter, then hurried back to the cave.
There is no doubt that she is actually a girl with a lofty soul and a big heart. But he still needed great courage to put his words into words. He had to say that he was Fu Jade-su's biological younger brother. Meanwhile, Fu Giok-su is the real killer.
Upon returning to the cave, it was already midday. Song Ngo Lin was still soaking in a barrel filled with hot water with his eyes tightly closed. Sweat dripped from his forehead. Fu Hiong-kun stared at the youngster for a long time.
Then he put the clothes and the letter on a stone beside the barrel. With a depressed heart he dragged his footsteps away from that place. Slowly he walked out.
Just outside the cave, he immediately saw someone. The man was dressed in gray clothes and had a pandan hat on his head. Like a statue, he stood tall in front of the cave. Not a sound was heard and neither did he raise his head.
"Who?" asked Fu Hiong-kun while stopping his footsteps.
The man lifted his head up laughing. He took off the pandan hat he was wearing. A face full of bushy sideburns appeared. Then he took out a large bracelet from the pandanus basket he wore on his shoulder.
––––––––
Without even taking out the large bracelet, Fu Hiong-kun already recognized him as Ci-bu-kim-hoan Ci. His heart was thrilled. Unconsciously his feet took a step back. Lu Ci laughed coldly. "You still know who I am. Where is that soat tian from Ping san?” he snapped.
Fu Hiong-kun shook his head in panic. "I... I... I don't know."
“The other day you went after Tian-liong-noon-jin. If you don't know, who else can know. Answer!" Lu Ci's eyes shone sharply. “Did you keep it in this cave?”
Fu Hiong-kun subconsciously glanced into the cave. He shook his hand nervously, “No…no!”
"Yes or no, just go inside we'll find out!" said Lu Ci as he stepped inside.
Fu Hiong-kun blocked him frantically. A pair of palms slammed forward. Lu Ci's large bracelet moved. Both attack and dodge each other. Less than thirteen moves, Lu Ci managed to twist Fu Hiong-kun's wrist.
"Little slave, I've been following since the hamlet earlier. I didn't notice at all. By relying on your lowly martial arts skills, you dare to fight me?” his sarcasm was sharp.
As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Ci's palm directly hit Fu Hiong-kun's back causing the girl to be sent flying two fathoms away. His body immediately flashed and slipped into the cave.
Song Ngo Lin was still soaking in a barrel of hot water. His eyes were tightly shut and his breath was now shallow, sometimes steady. Lu Ci looked at him intently. His forehead was creased tightly.
“This balloon boy… why is he sitting in a vat of boiling water? Judging by the look on her face, she doesn't feel hot in the slightest, has that soat lian from Fainting San already been eaten by her?” Lu Ci wondered.
He was still staring at Song Ngo Lin in confusion, Fu Hiongkun lunged back into the cave.
"Go out!" Lu Ci snapped as he smacked his palm once more. Fu Hiong-kun's body shook violently and bounced out of the cave. But with recklessness, he crawled up and forward again.
Given that he had already lost that soat lian, he could already imagine that he would be blamed by the emperor. Not only will his position be released, even his life may not necessarily be maintained. His heart is getting hotter. Anger welled up in his chest. The abomination in his soul was instantaneous. He gave a strange whistle and his body shot up into the sky, a pair of hands smashing towards the top of Song Ngo Lin's head.
Right at that moment, Song Ngo Lin's pair of eyes suddenly widened. A pair of palms raised upwards.
“Plakkk!” It hit Lu Ci's pair of palms exactly, then his body leaped out of the water barrel at once.
The palms of the two people pressed against each other, in fact Lu Ci was actually knocked out by Song Ngo Lin's energy until he somersaulted and then flew down to the ground. Their palms were separated. Lu Ci's right hand moved. The gold bracelet was already gripped, amidst the deafening whirring sound, the bracelet slid to attack Song Ngo Lin's body.
The important veins in Song Ngo Lin's body have been reconnected thanks to the help of soat lian, and after soaking in hot water for so long, his inner strength has also recovered. His pair of palms aimed vigorously. The sound of the wind howling. Lu Ci's gold bracelet had no chance of getting close to him at all.
Therefore, Lu Ci panicked even more as his anger grew. His body suddenly turned upside down in the middle of the air, one by one a small gold bracelet slid one after another following opening a hole between Song Ngo Lin's palms. Her body immediately lunged into the void and her large bracelet was smashed forward.
A pair of Song Ngo Lin's palms folded together then shifted to the side. He dodged the sliding gold bracelet, then he turned his body, a pair of palms spread apart then took two steps forward and as fast as lightning clamped the large bracelet.
Lu Ci was completely shocked. But he was quite agile, his right hand slightly bent into a tiger claw and slid towards Song Ngo Lin's throat.
The young man lowered his head, suddenly his palms stretched and a large bracelet slipped off the clasp, then his palm hit Lu Ci's chest like a gale. Originally he only meant to shake Lu Ci's body away from him, but he forgot that he had learned one of the famous Wudang-liong-kiat, namely Pik-lek-ciang. Not only had his inner strength recovered, his strength had doubled compared to before. It was certain that right now he could destroy a hill with ease. Even more powerful than the palm arts mastered by Tianliong-siang-jin during his heyday.
Lu Ci's insides and chest shook violently. His body bounced away and then hit the cave wall. Song Ngo Lin who saw this situation was immediately stunned. He subconsciously dazed and repeatedly stared at his own pair of palms.
Suddenly he shouted loudly, "Fu-kouwnio, my martial arts skills have recovered to the way they used to be!" screaming, he lunged forward.
In fact, Fu Hiong-kun saw that Song Ngo Lin's martial arts had recovered and was fighting against Lu Ci. His heart was both happy and worried. He retreated to the front of the cave but did not leave the place. He was afraid that Song Ngo Lin would change.
Now suddenly Song Ngo Lin screamed as he lunged out. Unknowingly he took two steps back. Song Ngo Lin darted closer and hugged his shoulders tightly. "Fukouwnio, you see, I'm cured!" he said excitedly.
Of course Fu Hiong-kun was also happy and sad. He took a deep breath. “Wan-toako, thankfully you've recovered. My heart is relieved now.”
Song Ngo Lin looked at him with a grateful look. Just as he was about to say a few words as a declaration of his heart, Fu Hiong-kun had already snapped, “I… I'll be going now!”
Song Ngo Lin was stunned for a moment. "Why do you have to go?" he asked in a daze.
"If you've read the letter, you'll understand for yourself."
"Letter? What letter?" Song Ngo Lin couldn't understand more and more.
“The letter is on top of your new pile of clothes. I put it on a rock.”
“If you have something to say, just say it directly. Why do you have to write all kinds of letters?” Song Ngo Lin insisted.
Fu Hiong-kun laughed bitterly.
"You better go inside and read the letter first. We'll talk about other things later."
"Good. I'm going to get the letter." Song Ngo Lin didn't forget to add “You wait here a moment.”
Fu Hiong-kun nodded his head. Her eyes had developed tears. Song Ngo Lin turned his body and entered the cave. Fu Hiong-kun's tears were unbearable. He cried silently.
–––
The letter that Fu Hiong-kun said was not on the rock, but in the water. It must have been blown by Song Ngo Lin and Lu Ci's palms when they fought earlier. Song Ngo Lin quickly took the letter. He unfolded it and was immediately stunned.
The letter has been washed away by the water. It is completely unreadable what is written on it.
“Fu-kouwnio...!” while calling out he lunged out of the cave. But Fu Hiong-kun was nowhere to be seen. Song Ngo Lin couldn't stop thinking. He was still shouting several times for the girl, but even though his throat was almost dry, there was still no response from Fu Hiong-kun.
Finally Song Ngo Lin lunged forward. The benefits of soat lian have spread thoroughly within a period of seven weeks, namely forty-nine days. He called out in a voice containing high internal energy. Of course the echoes of his voice can radiate far away. How could Fu Hiong-kun not hear it?
Actually he was in between the leaves and twigs that are not far from the cave. He didn't move or make a sound. He heard Song Ngo Lin screaming his name repeatedly, then streaking across in front of him. He almost couldn't hold his heart from calling out to the young man, but finally he hardened his heart too. He looked at the silhouette of Song Ngo Lin's body disappearing in the distance.
Unable to hold back, the tears flowed profusely.
–––
Song Ngo Lin's body shot like the wind. In a moment he had already run for ten li. Of course along the way he didn't manage to find any trace of Fu Hiong-kun. He ran another half li. Finally he stopped his feet.
Just as he turned his body to return, his ears heard the screams and clashing of weapons of people fighting. His mind moved. He immediately dashed towards the source of the sound earlier. Until now, he still hasn't realized that by relying on his current ginkang knowledge, if Fu Hiong-kun also takes the same path, it's impossible not to catch up with him yet.
Even though he didn't know that the soat lian he was eating was a rare herb that only flowered once a thousand years and was extremely medicinal, but due to his knowledge recovering in such a short amount of time, even he actually still couldn't accept this fact.
