Chapter 25: Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils (VIII)

Qiao Sanhuai and his wife loved Qiao Feng like their own children, and Qiao Feng also regarded them as his own parents, so he followed Yunlan's advice and sent the couple to live in a small county near Dali Tianlong Temple to prevent any accidents.

Yunlan arrived in Dali and remembered that the sweeping monk told her that there was a secret room in the Wuliangyu Cave, which contained the real collection of Xiaoyao Sect's classics. It could only be opened with a red jade ring as a key. Because he saw the emotional entanglement between Wuyazi and his sister, he thought that they had no intention of inheriting the Xiaoyao Sect, so he did not tell them about this secret room.

Yunlan took Qiao Feng into the Wuliangyu Cave. When Qiao Feng saw the jade statue, he just marveled at the craftsman's craftsmanship and looked around. Yunlan was very satisfied. After all, not every man would be obsessed with the jade statue. Walking to the side of the crystal window near the door, he found a groove in the corner. He put the red jade ring in it and opened a small door of one meter square.

The entrance to this secret room is designed to be very secretive. Most people will be attracted by the underwater world outside the crystal window, so how can they notice a groove in the corner? Qiao Feng was afraid that there would be hidden weapons in the mechanism, so he always protected Yun Lan. When he saw the secret room open, he went in first to explore and confirmed that there was no danger before letting Yun Lan in.

The secret room was surrounded by moisture-proof items and a simple protection array. In the array was a bookshelf made of fine red sandalwood, with dozens of books on it. Each book was the martial arts secrets and medical and poison classics of the Xiaoyao Sect. Next to it was a small box with the martial arts experience and travel notes of the Xiaoyao Sect's successive rulers. Yun Lan remembered that the original book said that the Xiaoyao Sect was founded by Xiaoyaozi, but now it seems that these previous rulers have gone into seclusion.

There was still half a month before the Beggar Gang Conference, and the two did not know Murong Bo's whereabouts, so they temporarily lived in the Wuliangyu Cave. Yun Lan asked Qiao Feng to practice Pure Yang Supreme Skill. Qiao Feng was reluctant to learn the secrets of Xiaoyao Sect, but Yun Lan said that they were all hers now, and there was nothing she couldn't learn from the martial arts she passed on to her elder brother!

She hoped that the martial arts could be passed down, so she naturally had to find talented people to learn. Otherwise, it would be like Wuyazi and others who didn't even teach their apprentices well, and they were entangled all day long, causing the Xiaoyao Sect to fall. Isn't it a pity to waste the best martial arts?

Yun Lan had obtained the Manggu Red Clam and the Red Centipede before, but the spiritual herbs could not be taken out from the mountains in the space. She had only a vague understanding of ordinary herbs, so she didn't refine them. Now that she got the Xiaoyao Sect's medical and poison classics, all problems were solved. She soon refined ten precious Jade Clam Pills, which could be invulnerable to all poisons and ignore all drugs. She also refined twenty Hundred Poison Pills that could cure all poisons.

Yun Lan gave Qiao Feng a jade clam pill, and Qiao Feng was a little shocked. He didn't expect that Sister Lan would pass on the Xiaoyao Sect's unique skills to him, and now she was willing to give him such a precious pill. He felt that the longer he spent with Sister Lan, the more touched he would be. He no longer refused, but made up his mind to practice martial arts diligently and protect Sister Lan, and never allow her to suffer any grievances.

Yun Lan took advantage of Qiao Feng's practice and rest to copy all the classics in the secret room and put them into the space. As for the original version, it was left here. When she found a suitable person, she would pass on the Xiaoyao Sect to him to carry forward.

Qiao Feng had practiced martial arts for more than 20 years, and his best skill was the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms of the Supreme Yang. Now with the help of the senior's experience notes, he quickly mastered the tricks and practiced the Pure Yang Supreme Skill. Yun Lan saw that there was nothing else to do here, so she decided to meet the original owner's parents.

The two arrived at Xiaojing Lake, where Duan Zhengchun happened to be. After Yunlan explained the situation, she went into the inner room with Ruan Xingzhu and showed her the golden lock and the word Duan on her shoulder. Ruan Xingzhu hugged Yunlan and burst into tears.

When Duan Zhengchun disappeared, Ruan Xingzhu's clansmen came to her house and forced her to deal with the children. She had no choice but to send the two children to a farmer in the countryside. Who knew that when she went to look for them again, the place was empty! She also asked Duan Zhengchun to send someone to look for them, but unfortunately there was no news at all. Now she can see her little daughter again, which is really God's pity!

Yunlan was a little overwhelmed by her crying. At this time, Duan Zhengchun heard the sound and rushed over. He held Ruan Xingzhu in his arms and comforted her softly. Duan Zhengchun was worthy of being a big stud in Tianlong. He stopped Ruan Xingzhu's crying with a few words.

Duan Zhengchun comforted his beloved woman, raised his head and looked at Yunlan carefully, feeling very happy in his heart. He only had Duan Yu as his child in these years. Xingzhu had given birth to two daughters for him, but he was forced to send them away because of his negligence and never heard from them again.

Yunlan saw that they finally calmed down, pulled Qiao Feng to sit down and said, "Mom, is this Prince Duan?"

Ruan Xingzhu laughed and said, "Oh, what Prince Duan, call me daddy!" Duan Zhengchun also looked over expectantly.

Yunlan looked at Duan Zhengchun with a smile and said, "Mom, don't talk nonsense, daddy is not something you can call casually! I have been wandering around since I was a child and suffered a lot. I finally found my home, but I am an illegitimate daughter who cannot see the light! My sister is even more pitiful. She is obviously a princess, but she has the life of a maid. She is still a servant in the Murong family!"

Ruan Xingzhu was so excited when she heard this that she knocked over the tea bowl and grabbed Yunlan's hand and asked what was going on. After Yun Lan told her about Ah Zhu's situation, Ruan Xingzhu cried again in Duan Zhengchun's arms. Duan Zhengchun was suddenly overwhelmed. His wife was still living in the Taoist temple and refused to see him. He really couldn't marry another woman without her knowledge.

Yun Lan saw Duan Zhengchun's embarrassment and said with a smile: "Come to think of it, I met Duan Yu a few days ago. At that time, I saw that he looked very similar to Duan Yanqing, one of the four evil men. I thought they were father and son. Later I found out that he was my brother. It can be said that we are destined to meet." Yun Lan was not afraid that Duan Zhengchun would find out something and punish Duan Yu. After all, Duan Yu was the only heir of their Duan family.

Duan Zhengchun was patting Ruan Xingzhu's hand and paused for a moment, and then he returned to normal in an instant, but it was unknown whether he had any thoughts in his mind. Yun Lan told them some characteristics of Ah Zhu and asked them to pick Ah Zhu back. Duan Zhengchun said that he had been out for a long time and had to go back to the mansion to handle some government affairs. He sent two retainers to pick up Ah Zhu and took the other two back to the palace.

After Duan Zhengchun left, Yun Lan told Ruan Xingzhu that Duan Yu was not Duan Zhengchun's biological son, and that Duan Zhengchun's other women had also given birth to daughters for him. They had not forgotten their feelings yet, so Ruan Xingzhu should be careful. She taught Ruan Xingzhu Xiao Wuxiang Gong and Lingbo Weibu, and gave her many self-defense medicines. This was the second person in this time and space who cared about her, and she was willing to give her some return.

Ruan Xingzhu was the most sensible one among all the women of Duan Zhengchun. Duan Zhengchun doted on her, and she was a gentle and good lover. After Duan Zhengchun left, she lived almost in seclusion in Xiaojing Lake alone. When Duan Zhengchun came to find her again, she would act coquettishly and foolishly, which made Duan Zhengchun pity her even more.

She never made trouble for more than ten years. Among those women, she was the one who accompanied Duan Zhengchun the longest, and the only one who had given birth to two children. From the fact that Duan Zhengchun still came to Xiaojing Lake from time to time to stay, it can be seen how favored she was.

Although Yun Lan didn't mind what her identity was, Ruan Xingzhu and Azhu were both relatively weak, so it was better to have a legitimate identity. In this feudal society, even the children of the rivers and lakes would be subject to many constraints, and reputation was as important as life.

Otherwise, Gan Baobao and Li Qingluo are both beauties, why did one marry an ugly guy and the other marry a sickly girl? And Qin Hongmian and Ruan Xingzhu both live almost secluded lives?

Yunlan saw Ruan Xingzhu memorize the martial arts formula and said goodbye to her. Although Ruan Xingzhu was reluctant, she couldn't delay her daughter's business, so she had to repeatedly tell her to go home when she was free.

Qiao Feng had been watching from the side without saying much, but he was thinking in his heart that Lanmei's life experience was also very pitiful. She was separated from her parents at such a young age. I don't know how much hardship she had to endure to grow up. Compared with Lanmei, he has been smooth sailing for the past 30 years. He really shouldn't ask for anything more. Since then, he has truly untied his knot and no longer entangled with his Khitan identity.

Looking at the two words Wuxi on the city wall, Qiao Feng and Yunlan couldn't help but smile at each other. The scene of their initial meeting was still vivid. In just one month, the two seemed to have been together for many years and had a tacit understanding.

After entering the city and preparing to go to the inn to rest, Duan Yu ran over with Lingbo Weibu. Yunlan pulled Qiao Feng to catch up and see that Jiumozhi had captured Wang Yuyan to threaten Duan Yu. Yunlan thought that they were all family members, so he taught Jiumozhi a lesson and saved Wang Yuyan.

When Duan Yu first met Yunlan, he kept bowing and said, "Thank you for your help, young master!" Mu Wanqing and Zhong Ling, who came later, were very happy to see Yunlan. Zhong Ling chattered about their experiences along the way, and Mu Wanqing's mouth corners were rarely raised.

It turned out that Duan Yu got the secret book of Beiming Divine Art and Lingbo Weibu in Wuliangyu Cave. He felt very sorry for the fairy sister, so he planned to accompany her at the bottom of the valley for two days before going out to save Zhong Ling. Thinking that the jade statue of the fairy sister would be lonely for a long time, he wanted to clean it. He took off the clothes on the jade statue and washed and dried them by the lake. He also used the wooden bucket in the room to carry a bucket of water and began to scrub the jade statue.

When Mu Wanqing and Zhong Ling entered the stone chamber, they saw Duan Yu blushing and "stroking" a naked jade sculpture with great obsession! The two were immediately disappointed with this brother, and felt that he was worthy of being Duan Zhengchun's son, just as lustful and shameless!

Especially Mu Wanqing, she was already 18 years old and knew more than Zhong Ling. Seeing this scene, she had a very bad impression of Duan Yu.

Tomorrow will be the finale of Tianlong, and the map will be changed again!
