Chapter 199: Murong father and son are too empathetic

~8 min read 1,496 words

Monk Master Zhi Guang, who almost carried the black pot, didn't compete with Gu Qing and left while cursing.

Murong Fu, Gongye Qian, Deng Baichuan, Feng Bo'e, and Bao Butong searched desperately around Taihu Lake again, but really couldn't find Murong Bo's remains, and each of them was shaking with anger.

The father's grave was dug up, the coffin was thrown into the water to soak, and the coffin was opened and the corpse desecrated in front of them, and the bones were scattered. For a time, Murong Fu didn't know which one to feel pain for first.

Overall, it was painful.

Too painful.

Also feeling painful was Murong Bo, who had a hole stabbed in his body and suffered serious injuries. It belonged to having both internal and external injuries, and he was almost soaked white in the water.

Murong Bo, as a martial arts person and once the head of the Murong family, naturally knew the Murong family's way of chasing murderers, so the next step was to go to the major pharmacies in Pingjiang Prefecture to search. So Murong Bo wanted to do the opposite, directly shrinking into the Murong family and using the Murong family's medicinal materials to recover.

But now Murong Fu was always in pain on the shore. Murong Bo lurked on the side of the Murong family's boat, one hand attached to the hull, also in great pain, secretly complaining.

Father and son could be considered empathetic.

"Sigh..."

Gu Qing sighed in a low voice, and the words could only be heard by Mu Wanqing, Wang Yuyan, A'Zhu, and A'Bi beside him. He only heard him say, "In the past, I always felt that Young Master Murong's martial arts were poor, and he only had the name of 'Southern Murong,' so I bestowed upon him the title of 'Number One in Marketing.' But today I know I was wrong. Young Master Murong is extremely filial and should be the 'Number One Filial Son' instead."

A'Bi admired Murong Fu. Watching Murong Fu in pain, her heart was always tugging. After hearing Gu Qing's words, she glared at Gu Qing and whispered, "Shut up!"

"Actually, many of the Twenty-Four Filial Exemplars are marketed."

Gu Qing whispered, "The filial sons inside may not all be as affectionate and filial as Young Master Murong."

A'Bi glared at Gu Qing with hatred.

"Forget it, we are leaving."

Gu Qing satisfied A'Bi's wish.

Of course, this wish to shut up was too simple and had no merit points.

"I will be back."

Gu Qing waved to A'Zhu and A'Bi.

Mu Wanqing pulled Gu Qing's raised hand down.

Bidding farewell to Murong Fu and the others, Gu Qing and Lady Wang's group continued to set off for Dali.

After leaving Taihu Lake far away, Lady Wang suddenly laughed until she trembled, and her "big white rabbits" jumped up and down.

"Mother!"

Wang Yuyan frowned at Lady Wang and said unhappily, "Uncle's remains were pushed into the water to feed the fish and shrimp, and even couldn't be found. Why are you still laughing?"

"His Murong family is the Murong family, and my Wang family is the Wang family."

Lady Wang stared and said, "That kid Murong Fu dreams of being emperor every day, and he doesn't know how many people he has offended openly and secretly. That's why I told you to draw a line. Otherwise, the people pushed into Taihu Lake today might have included your dead ghost father."

Lady Murong had always been against her, openly and secretly humiliating Lady Wang. Now that Murong Bo had been opened and desecrated, and thrown into the water, Lady Wang could only say it was a backlash.

Wang Yuyan, hearing such remarks, was silent, her heart very unconvinced.

"I don't understand one thing."

Mu Wanqing's voice was cold, and she suddenly said, "You dug away Murong Bo to resurrect him. If you don't dig up Miss Wang's father's grave, how can Miss Wang's father be resurrected?"

Wang Yuyan then turned around and looked at Gu Qing suspiciously.

Not digging the Wang family's grave really lacked something.

"Believe in Brother Qing, okay."

Gu Qing patted his chest and said: "The moment Miss Mu's parents are resurrected is the day your father sees the light of day again." Upon hearing this, Madam Wang hatefully glared at Mu Wanqing, inwardly cursing that wretch Duan Zhengchun for attracting bees and butterflies.

"Gu Qing."

Madam Wang asked bluntly: "Is the Wu Gong you practice the Xiaoyao Sect's Wu Gong?"

When facing Yan Longyuan, Gu Qing raised his hand and inhaled, actually being able to fix Yan Longyuan, who was about to fall into the water, in mid-air. This was not something that the Dragon-Capturing Skill or the Crane-Controlling Hand could accomplish.

Faced with such incredible Wu Gong, Madam Wang naturally thought of the Xiaoyao Sect. Furthermore, Gu Qing was privy to the secrets of Mantuo Villa, so Madam Wang felt this should be the work of the Xiaoyao Sect.

Gu Qing took a water pot from the side, opened the lid, and poured it toward the ground. Between the pot and the ground, the water flow condensed into a straight line. Although Gu Qing continued to pour, the water in the pot seemed infinite, as if it would never finish pouring.

Wang Yuyan and Mu Wanqing were originally watching from the side, and only until they saw the water flow endlessly while the ground remained dry did they realize the mystery.

"Can the Xiaoyao Sect reach this level?"

Gu Qing asked with a smile.

Madam Wang frowned. Li Qiushui had never demonstrated this to her, so Madam Wang was not clear about it.

The water in the pot was suddenly retracted. Gu Qing leaped up, shooting straight up ten zhang, then stepped on empty air with his left foot to climb seven zhang, and with a step of his right foot, he climbed another seven zhang. Madam Wang, Wang Yuyan, and Mu Wanqing looked up, watching Gu Qing in the air, circling down and landing lightly on the ground, then asked again: "Can the Xiaoyao Sect reach this level?"

!

Madam Wang shook her head.

Madam Wang could be certain that neither Li Qiushui nor Ding Chunqiu could accomplish this kind of lightness skill.

"There is also this set of Wu Gong."

Gu Qing's complexion suddenly became fair, his whole body like jade, and he said: "In order to practice the youth-preserving technique of the Eternal Spring Art, Ding Chunqiu uses poison every day to nourish his body, but this set of Wu Gong of mine naturally keeps one's youth forever and is invincible in the world. Can the Xiaoyao Sect accomplish this?"

Madam Wang looked at Gu Qing, who was faintly translucent, and now she was certain that what Gu Qing practiced was indeed not Xiaoyao Wu Gong.

"Can this set of Wu Gong be taught to me?"

Wang Yuyan's eyes were filled with hope. She was currently in the prime of her youth and originally did not need to worry about her years passing, but after seeing the miraculous effects of this Bright Jade Art, Wang Yuyan rarely felt a longing for Wu Gong.

Mu Wanqing also looked at Gu Qing with eager eyes.

"Of course you can!"

Gu Qing stood with his hands behind his back and said with a smile: "I can take you two as my second and third disciples."

Wang Yuyan and Mu Wanqing looked at each other in surprise and asked in unison: "Who is the eldest disciple?"

"Your eldest martial sister is still young."

Gu Qing laughed: "But you two must properly coax your eldest martial sister. Whether you can leave your names in history in the future depends on whether your eldest martial sister is willing to mention a word or two."

While speaking, Gu Qing swept a glance over Wang Yuyan.

Duan Yu's character design had a historical prototype. In history, Duan Heyu had two empresses in succession; one was the Gao clan, and the other was the Wang clan. In the serialized version of Tian Long Ba Bu, when Duan Yu was captured by Duan Yanqing and fed an aphrodisiac and locked up, Emperor Baoding made a prompt decision and betrothed Gao Meimei, the daughter of Gao Shengtai, as Duan Yu's wife. Afterward, Duan Yu went to Suzhou and met Wang Yuyan, which could be considered consistent with the character design.

During the revision, Gao Meimei was deleted.

By the time of the new revision, Jin Yong might have forgotten the original intent of this character design, splitting up Duan Yu and Wang Yuyan and directly opening a harem for Duan Yu.

Whether the current Wang Yuyan can be explored by future generations depends on whether her eldest martial sister is willing to mention a word or two when writing.

Madam Wang pursed her lips, also wanting it very much.

Gu Qing looked away, pretending not to see.
