Yan Bugui found a place to sit down again: "Taoist Master Qiu, ask yourself, is Wan Yankang, your disciple, a responsibility or a mission for you?"
Qiu Chuji fell into silence, thinking to himself: 'He is right. Have I really tried my best to teach Kang'er? Can I really have a clear conscience? '
Wanyankang looked at Yan Bugui in confusion and said in a daze: "You...why?"
Yan Bugui said calmly: "I have faced a similar situation to you."
Everyone was surprised when they heard this and cast curious glances at him.
Except Ke Zhene.
Yan Bugui said leisurely: "Due to the differences in the martial arts concepts of our ancestors, our Huashan sect split into two factions: the Sword Sect and the Qi Sect.
When I was five years old, I went up to the mountain and became a member of the Sword Sect, but I never expected... So I actually grew up under the teachings of the Air Sect.
As a result, the Sword Sect came back not long ago. They still remembered me. Seeing my strong martial arts skills, they asked me to kill the Air Sect members. Otherwise, I would be deceiving my master and destroying my ancestors, and recognizing the thief as my father.
During this process, I also received favors from a reclusive senior of the Sword Sect. Everyone, what would you do if you were me? "
Everyone was silent.
If you think about it carefully, this is indeed a dilemma.
"Then how did you choose?" Wanyankang suddenly felt that Yan Bugui looked a little more pleasing to his eyes.
"Choose the Qi Sect. I'm not familiar with the Sword Sect." Yan Bugui shrugged: "The only thing I can do for the Sword Sect is not to take action personally, otherwise they will die."
Wanyankang frowned.
Although the situation was similar, Yan Bugui's answer was not of much reference to him.
Yan Bugui had no relatives in the Jianzong, but he was caught between his biological mother and adoptive father. The two of them had the same weight in his heart.
When Yang Tiexin saw that Wanyan Kang was silent, his heart gradually lifted.
For Wanyankang, his biological father was the Sword Sect, so he couldn't help but feel nervous.
"But there seems to be something wrong with this matter in your family." Yan Bugui held his chin and seemed to be thinking: "I just heard Sister Yang talk about what happened eighteen years ago, and I felt that something was very wrong."
Bao Xiruo said in surprise: "What?"
"It was such a coincidence that Wanyan Honglie appeared." Yan Bugui said, "Not long after you rescued him, something happened to the Guo and Yang families, and then he suddenly appeared and rescued you.
If it was really a coincidence, then why did he hide his identity and not tell you until he returned to the Kingdom of Jin. "
Bao Xiruo didn't react for a moment.
Wanyankang felt as if he was struck by lightning and said in disbelief: "You mean, you mean that all this is a conspiracy set up by my father, uh, Wanyan Honglie?"
Yan Bugui pulled off another chicken drumstick and said, "I'm just raising a possibility. As for whether it's true or not, you can verify it yourself."
"What else can be verified!" Ke Zhen'e was filled with indignation: "The facts are already in front of us. It is obvious that Wanyan Honglie took advantage of the situation and arranged a good show for Sister Yang in order to occupy her.
I never expected that the culprit who framed the Guo and Yang families was Wanyan Honglie, a thief! "
"Brother, we still need to investigate." Zhu Cong said, "You have to give young people a reason to convince themselves, right?"
"But it's been so long, how can I check?" Wanyankang looked at Yan Bugui subconsciously.
"Kang'er, there is someone who must know." Yang Tiexin suddenly had an idea: "His name is Duan Tiande. He was a military attache in Lin'an Prefecture eighteen years ago. He was the one who led the troops to commit murder."
"That's right." Zhu Cong said: "Sister-in-law Guo was kidnapped by this man and then wandered to the desert.
When Jing'er was young, Sister-in-law Guo often reminded him not to forget that Duan Tiande was his father-killing enemy. "
"Brother Guo unfortunately died from this dog officer's knife just to protect me." Thinking of Guo Xiaotian who risked his life to save me, Yang Tiexin burst into tears unconsciously.
"Duan Tiande." Wan Yankang's eyes flashed, and his confusion disappeared: "I hope he is still alive."
"Kang'er." Qiu Chuji came to Wanyan Kang with a complicated expression: "Master Yan is right. It was my failure to fulfill my responsibility as a master that made you become like this."
Wanyankang said coldly: "The matter has come to this, what's the use of talking about it."
"Kang'er, Taoist Master Qiu is not to blame for this." Yang Tiexin said, "Everything is Wanyan Honglie's fault. It was him who harmed our family."
Wan Yankang was noncommittal: "Let's wait until we find Duan Tiande before we talk about it."
"Okay!" Yang Tiexin cheered up: "Let's go together. Even if he hides in the ends of the earth, we will find this thief."
"No need, I want to go by myself." Wanyankang shook his head, not knowing how to face his biological father.
"How can that be done?" Yang Tiexin said, "How long will it take you to find it by yourself in the vast sea of people?"
"If Brother Yang is worried, I can help." Yan Bugui looked at Wan Yankang and suddenly changed the subject: "What do you think of my martial arts?"
Wanyankang glanced at Qiu Chuji: "Very strong, better than my master."
Yan Bugui clasped his hands behind his back and said proudly: "Then...are you willing to worship me as your teacher?"
"..." Wanyankang was dumbfounded and couldn't help but doubt his own ears.
The rest of the people in the temple were also shocked when they heard the shocking words.
Wanyan Kang said: "Are you kidding?"
Yan Bugui smiled lightly and said, "Yan said exactly what he said."
"Why?" Wanyankang was puzzled.
Yan Bugui crossed his arms and said with great interest: "Didn't you complain that Master Qiu was irresponsible? For the sake of sympathy, I will give you a chance to start over and see what you can become in the end. Sample."
Wanyan Kang said: "Aren't you afraid that I will learn your martial arts and join Wanyan Honglie?"
"There are only two outcomes. Since I dare to raise it, I'm not afraid." Yan Bugui thought that he could make Yue Buqun a true gentleman's sword, and then maybe he could also make Wan Yankang become Yang Kang.
"I'm afraid someone might disagree." Wan Yankang glanced at Qiu Chuji.
Qiu Chuji sighed and said, "It's rare for Great Master Yan to show his favor to you. I have no objection at all."
"Disciple pays homage to master." Wanyankang knelt down with a plop and kowtowed eight times to Yan Bugui.
"Get up." Yan Bugui nodded: "From now on, you will be my fourth disciple. There is a senior sister and two senior brothers in front of you, but the chance of you seeing them is probably slim."
"Thank you, Master." Wanyankang had an inexplicable and unreal feeling, as if he was in a dream. But somehow, he suddenly felt much more relaxed.
Everyone looked at each other, no one expected that things would take such a strange turn.
Zhu Cong sighed: "This boy is lucky. It would be great if Jing'er wasn't taken away by that girl."
Yang Tiexin and his wife relaxed their frown slightly. They were surprised and at the same time sincerely gratified that their son could learn from a famous teacher.
Bao Xiruo asked: "Brother Tie, Kang'er has been found now, where are we going?"
Yang Tiexin muttered: "Why don't we go back to our hometown in Niujia Village, Lin'an? Wanyan Honglie has already taken Master Yan's Three Corpse Brain Pill, so we no longer have to worry about him coming to take revenge on us."
"That's inappropriate." Yan Bugui said, "You are all alone. It wouldn't be nice if he captures you in exchange for the antidote."
Qiu Chuji said: "Brother Yang, for the sake of safety, you should come back to Zhongnan Mountain with us. Even Wanyan Honglie wouldn't dare to come to our Quanzhen Sect and act arrogantly."
Yang Tiexin thought for a moment, then nodded and said, "Okay, then my husband and I will disturb all the Taoist priests."
It's getting late.
Everyone spent the night in the ruined temple.
Early the next morning, the Six Jiangnan Monsters and the Three Quanzhen Sons escorted Yang Tiexin, his wife, and Mu Nianci to Zhongnan Mountain.
Wan Yankang looked at the intersection ahead and couldn't help but worry: "Master, where do you think I should go to find Duan Tiande?"
"Brother Yang said that he was an official in Lin'an eighteen years ago. If he had not died, he might have been promoted. He should be able to find out." Yan Bugui only remembered that Duan Tiande would appear in Taihu Lake, but he had no memory of where he came from.
"Then go south to Lin'an Mansion." Wanyankang immediately got on his horse.
Yan Bugui said: "Come down, who asked you to ride a horse?"
Wanyankang was surprised and said: "Huh?"
"From now on, you walk." Yan Bugui took off the hidden blade box again: "By the way, help me carry the sword."
"Okay, hiss -" Wan Yankang took the Hidden Blade Box, and his right arm was immediately dropped. The sword box fell to the ground with a bang. He couldn't help but take a breath: "It's so heavy! It must weigh a hundred kilograms." ?”
"almost."
"Master, you don't want me to carry it to Lin'an, do you?"
"That's really smart. I guess you still want to ask why. Let me ask you, who has better internal strength between you and Guo Jing?"
"That day, we fought in the ring where Nianci girls competed to find a bride. I was a little stronger than him."
"Be stronger, you are so embarrassed to say that. You started practicing Quanzhen Internal Skills when you were eight and a half years old, and it has been almost ten years now. Do you know how long he has been practicing?"
"have no idea."
"Two years! Taoist Master Ma has taught him for only two years, and his internal strength has almost caught up with you. I really don't know how you practice."
Wan Yankang's face turned red: "Then I'll just work hard from now on."
"You have to work hard." Yan Bugui flew up and said, "Guo Jing drank Liang Ziwen's medicinal snake precious blood, and now his internal strength has greatly increased, and he has surpassed you."
Wanyankang exclaimed, "Why is that old man so precious to that big snake? It turns out it has this effect!"
Yan Bugui turned around and lay on Heifeng's back, urging: "Stop talking nonsense and let's go."
"Alas~"
Wanyankang grimaced, gritted his teeth, picked up the Hidden Front Box, and walked step by step towards the road leading to Lin'an.
