Chapter 20 Sikong Xuan’s progress!Sikong Xuan kept on talking, while healing his wounds, he praised Murong Fu for being considerate, and then he said with a bitter face: "Master Murong, if you had just told us your name, we in the Shennong Gang would have released you. Your reputation in the martial arts world is beyond words. Bei Qiaofeng is as famous as you. I don't know how much he boasted. But you also know that many of us have been poisoned by the mink. If the mink poison is not cured, we will surely die!" "Please, Master Murong, ask Miss Zhong to get us the antidote. I am deeply grateful for your kindness!" Sikong Xuan knew that even if he joined the Shennong Gang, he was no match for Murong Fu, so he lowered his stance and now he knelt in front of Murong Fu, begging him. The leader of the gang had already knelt, and the members of the Shennong Gang did not act pretentiously. They all knelt down and acted pitifully. One said he had an eighty-year-old mother, and another said he had a baby at home. It was like a show of gaining misery! Murong Fu calmly admired the performance of the Shennong Gang. When they calmed down, he said: "A man's knees are as precious as gold. Boss Sikong, since you are willing to kneel down and beg me, I will naturally forgive you when I can." "It's a pity. I see that your forehead is black and your luck is low. Even if you can cure the mink poison, you won't live long." Murong Fu's calculations were accurate to the last detail. Because Sikong Xuan failed to complete the mission of Lingjiu Palace, he jumped into the river and died under the coercion of the Holy Envoy of Lingjiu Palace. From this point, we can also understand why Lingjiu Palace can still be deserted by its friends and relatives even though it possesses such a powerful weapon as the Life and Death Talisman. It really is treating people like a waste.
The Song Dynasty had already developed into feudal imperialism, but Lingjiu Palace was still practicing slavery. No wonder the thirty-six caves and seventy-two islands under her command would counterattack as soon as the Tianshan Tonglao showed a hint of weakness. Sikong Xuan was trembling all over, and said in a trembling voice: "Master Murong, what did you find out?!" Murong Fu said: "There are several pieces of ice in your body that are transformed from Yang Qi. These pieces of ice clamp your acupuncture points and absorb your Yang Qi to maintain your health. Now that it is stable and not flaring up, you are fine. But once it flares up, these acupuncture points will be stimulated. Then the Yin and Yang Qi in your body will be disordered, and you will be in excruciating pain." Sikong Xuan was greatly shocked. At this moment, in his mind, Murong Fu advanced from a top master to a god! Master Murong is truly a living god! He actually saw the problem with the life and death talisman in his body at a glance! "Master Murong, you really have a keen eye, you can actually see it!" Sikong Xuan said in shock, "You can see the problem in my body just by looking at it from a distance. Your martial arts skills are really beyond the ancient and modern times!" In fact, Murong Fu had no idea about the problem with the Life and Death Talisman. He just knew the plot and was pretending to be an expert. "This thing looks very familiar. It seems to have something to do with my sect's Tianshan Six Yang Palm." Murong Fu shook his head and pondered, "Boss Sikong, could it be that the one who planted this ice flake for you was the old lady Tianshan Tonglao?" "Master Murong, do you know Tong Lao?" Sikong Xuan asked excitedly, "It was this 'life and death talisman' that Tong Lao planted for me. Every time it strikes, I can neither live nor die. It's really unbearable." "This life and death talisman is too vicious. Old lady Tong Lao has gone too far." Murong Fu said. Sikong Xuan didn't dare to respond. He lowered his head and said nothing. Murong Fu smiled and said, "Boss Sikong, do you know what the relationship is between me and the Child-Father of Tianshan?" Sikong Xuan was invigorated and asked, "Do you know Tong Lao?" Murong Fu said: "My elders recognize her. Tong Lao and I both belong to the Xiaoyao Sect. I am not talented, but I am the current head of the Xiaoyao Sect. It's a pity that Tong Lao and I have different ways. I have never learned the Tianshan Six Yang Palm, so I can't unlock the life and death talisman for you!" "Boss Sikong, I will take Miss Zhong Ling to find an antidote for you. Eat better, drink better, and be nicer to yourself during this period. Life doesn't have to be long. A short life can also be wonderful." Murong Fu was extremely shameless. Even before he cracked the Zhenlong chess game and got the Xiaoyao Fairy Ring, he already regarded himself as the leader of the Xiaoyao Sect. Anyway, no one knows whether it is true or false. But his next words were a tactic of playing hard to get and keeping Sikong Xuan in suspense. After saying that, Murong Fu turned around and left without looking back. Sikong Xuan slid down on one knee and knelt in front of Murong Fu with the fastest body movement in his life. He begged, "Master Murong, help me! Please save me from this sea of suffering! I am willing to work like a cow or a horse for you!" Murong Fu frowned and asked, "How do you want me to save you from suffering?"
Sikong Xuan said: "I want Master Murong to help me unlock the life and death talisman." Sikong Xuan had no hope in the Child-Fairy of Tianshan. Over the years, he had never heard of the Child-Fairy of Tianshan helping anyone to break the life and death talisman. I only heard that a certain master was killed by the Tianshan Child-Fairy, or that he could not bear the torture of the Life and Death Talisman and committed suicide. Fearing the revenge of the Lingjiu Palace, the whole family, young and old, also committed suicide. That was so tragic! Lingjiu Palace is really dark, pitch black! And in this boundless darkness, the appearance of Murong Fu is the only ray of light in this dark universe for Sikong Xuan. Murong Fu looked so righteous and noble. He could see the key to the Life and Death Talisman at a glance, and he also mentioned a martial art called Tianshan Six Yang Palm. Sikong Xuan had no doubt that Murong Fu was not the leader of the Xiaoyao Sect. And now the only one who can save him from suffering is Murong Fu! "But I don't know how to decipher the life and death talisman!" Murong Fu sighed. "But you are the leader of the Xiaoyao Sect, and Tong Lao is also from the Xiaoyao Sect. Please ask Tong Lao to spare me." Sikong Xuan begged bitterly. "I owe Tong Lao a big favor, but you are not a general under my Gusu Murong." Murong Fu was conflicted. "Yes!" Sikong Xuanfu came to his senses and said immediately. Murong Fu asked, "You mean that your Shennong Gang is willing to serve under the banner of our Gusu Murong clan and serve our Murong clan?" Sikong Xuan nodded repeatedly: "Yes, Master Murong, please take me in! I will do anything for you, even if it means sacrificing my life!" Murong Fu said: "Well, I just came to Dali, it's good to have a local snake to do things for me. Sikong Xuan! Take the order!" As Murong Fu spoke, he took out the black-lettered Yanqi Order from his bosom. Then he threw it to Sikong Xuan. Sikong Xuan took the order, but saw that it was a palm-sized blue flag with four black characters "Gu Su Murong" written on it. Murong Fu said: "This is the Yanqi Commander of my Murong family. Sikong Xuan, once you have accepted the Yanqi Commander of my Murong family, you are a subordinate of my Murong family. You must follow orders from now on. If my Murong family asks for gold or silver, or sends you there, you must not refuse!" Sikong Xuan said excitedly: "I have been wandering for half my life, and today I have met a wise master." Murong Fu waved his hand and said, "Stop, there's no need to exaggerate. Your Shennong Gang is a subordinate of our Murong family. I will naturally take responsibility for your life and death talisman. In the future, I will go to Tong Lao and ask her to show mercy and remove your life and death talisman!" "Thank you, my lord. Thank you, my lord!" Sikong Xuan was overjoyed. Ah Zhu smiled and said, "Boss Sikong, you should call me Young Master." "Yes!" Sikong Xuan readily agreed, "Thank you, Master!" (End of this chapter)
