Mixed in the heavens, merits and virtues become immortals

Chapter 4 Fighting is fun!

Let’s go down the mountain! Let’s go down the mountain!

Gu Qing rode a donkey, with a sword hanging from his waist, a scarf wrapped around his head, and wore a round-necked short shirt and tight-fitting pants, hiding his Quanzhen Sect identity and looking like a wandering man. After going down the mountain, Gu Qing was also excited. After looking around, he patted the donkey and walked south along the road.

Before going down the mountain, Gu Qing also visited an ancient tomb.

In the original version of The Return of the Condor Heroes, Xiaolongnu was defiled by Zhen Zhibing, and she thought it was Yang Guo who did it. She proposed that they get married, but Yang Guo treated it as normal. Xiaolongnu was so angry that she said many harsh words to Yang Guo, and then hid in an ancient tomb. After a long time, she left the tomb and went to look for Yang Guo.

Without Zhen Zhibing's interference, and Yang Guo having wanted to go down the mountain earlier, Xiaolongnu should have gone down the mountain with Yang Guo after what happened yesterday. There was no trace of her in the ancient tomb. The plot has changed. Whether Xiaolongnu can be found to collude with Yang Guo again depends on fate.

Now Gu Qing was heading towards the direction of Li Mochou according to the intelligence from Quanzhen Sect.

Gu Qing rode the donkey for a long time and arrived at a market. This place was also on the official road, and it was very lively with people coming and going.

"Give me a bowl of noodles with some beef."

After Gu Qing sat down, he told the shopkeeper to feed the donkey as well.

The shop owner looked to be in his forties. He was quick and agile. He added meat and quickly placed a bowl of noodles in front of Gu Qing, then went to add more food to the donkey.

Gu Qing picked up the noodles and had just taken two bites when suddenly a girl, holding a child, knelt in front of Gu Qing and kowtowed, begging: "My brave man, you will make a fortune and become rich..."

Upon hearing this, Gu Qing quickly put down his chopsticks and helped the girl and the child up. The girl looked young and her clothes were neat, but her complexion was dark and her face was haggard. The child also seemed to be at a loss and just followed the girl. Gu Qing then asked the two what had happened.

"It's the Mongolian Tartars who are bullying us."

The shop owner brought two bowls of hot soup to the girl and the child, and said, "Their family is from Jingzhao Prefecture. The girl's father usually does some business on credit, and he would collect the debts near the end of the year. Usually at this time, the family would stay in our Jing'an Market, waiting for the father to come back from collecting the debts. The family would spend the New Year here and return to Jingzhao Prefecture. This year, the girl's mother fell ill after arriving here. When Old Man Wen came back from collecting the debts last night, he ran into two Tartars. They heard the rustling sound of Old Man Wen's footsteps, and knew that he had hidden silver. They didn't say that they would not kill him if he paid the money, so they drew their swords and killed Old Man Wen, and also robbed him of the silver."

Since the destruction of the Jin Dynasty, the area north of the Huai River has been under the rule of Mongolia. Mongolian soldiers have always been brutal and there is no point in reasoning with them.

"We just want to ask for some money to cure my mother's illness and bring my father back home to bury him in peace."

Miss Wen said sadly that next to her was her younger brother.

Upon hearing this, Gu Qing looked at the little girl and then at the little child.

A dead father, a seriously ill mother, a young brother, and a sensible girl...

If I don't help her, who will?
Gu Qing reached into his arms and took out the gold ingot and loose silver that he had brought with him from the mountain. After leaving the money for the noodles, he handed the rest to the girl.

[Satisfy Wenshan's wish to seek wealth and save his mother, good deed +1]

[Satisfy Wenhui's wish to seek wealth and save his mother, good deed +1]

Wen Shan took the gold and silver, knelt down in front of Gu Qing again, and said in tears: "My brave man, you will make a fortune in the future, and have hundreds of children and grandchildren..."

She came to ask for help today because she saw Gu Qing riding a donkey and looked like a man with some money. She didn't expect Gu Qing to be so generous.

"Forget about having a thousand children and grandchildren, go and get a doctor for your mother."

Gu Qing said calmly.

After all, Gu Qing possessed a merit system, but after entering the Quanzhen Sect, he took the initiative to help the disciples of the Quanzhen Sect. The people there treated him as a sucker, and few of them expressed their sincere gratitude, which made Gu Qing learn how to exploit bugs. In Chongyang Palace, he learned to actively create demands for others.

This was considered a rare positive good deed in the merit system, and it made Gu Qing feel very different.

Wen Shan looked at Gu Qing, thanked him profusely, and then left with his brother.

Gu Qing lowered his head, finished his noodles, slapped the silver on the table, and rode away on his donkey. "Brave man, take the money."

The noodle shop owner took the silver on the table, ran out and handed it to Gu Qing, saying, "Just think of it as me doing my part for them."

Gu Qing smiled, put the silver and money back into his arms, smiled at the noodle shop owner, and rode away from Jing'an Market on his donkey.

The noodle boss looked at Gu Qing and took note in his heart. He felt that it was rare for him to meet a good person in this world. He was in a good mood that afternoon. However, towards evening, when the sky was full of red clouds, Gu Qing came back with two bundles hanging on the donkey.

"Where does Wenshan's family rent?"

Gu Qing asked.

The noodle shop owner was very surprised. There were not many people on the road at that time, so he sealed the fire and took Gu Qing to find Wen Shan's family.

Wen Shan's family rented a small house in Jing'an Market. Before they even entered the door, they smelled a strong smell of medicine. Wen Shan was surprised that the noodle shop owner brought Gu Qing here. He quickly welcomed Gu Qing in and served him hot tea.

Gu Qing placed the package on the table, opened it himself, and asked Wen Shan, "Come and see if these two Tartars killed your father."

As the package was opened, the noodle shop owner exclaimed in surprise. He never expected that there were two human heads in the package.

When Wen Shan saw the head inside, she immediately covered her mouth and tears could not stop flowing. She looked at Gu Qing and nodded continuously, indicating that it was these two Mongolian Tartars who killed her father.

"That's good."

Gu Qing said, "I followed the direction you mentioned, ran back and forth for more than 200 miles, and killed 74 Tartars. I feel that only these two Tartars fit the image you described."

After knowing this at noon, Gu Qing immediately rode his donkey to chase after the Tartars. However, the Tartars kept moving and stopping, which gave Gu Qing time to catch up. While talking, Gu Qing took out another bag of silver and handed it to Wen Shan, saying, "This is what we found on the two Tartars. It should be the money your father collected. With this amount of money, it should be enough for you to carry the coffin back home."

Wen Shan took the bag of silver and burst into tears. She was about to kneel down to Gu Qing again, but Gu Qing raised his hand to stop her.

[Fulfill Wenshan's wish to avenge his father and carry the coffin home, good deeds +2]

【Satisfy Wenhui...】

【Satisfy Wen...】

Gu Qing performed many chivalrous acts and gained ten good deeds. However, he did not use them, but kept them in his body. When he encountered trauma or illness, he could use the good deeds to eliminate them.

The famous Chinese mystical master Wang Chongyang died in a plague.

After giving the silver to Wen Shan, Gu Qing did not cause any trouble to Wen Shan and the others. He took the heads of the two Tartars and dug a hole in the mountains to bury them.

Back to Jing'an Market, the noodle shop owner insisted on inviting Gu Qing to drink. The wine was light, but the noodle shop owner was warm-hearted, so Gu Qing drank two glasses as well.

"Brave man, even if you rode a donkey for more than 200 miles, how could this donkey be so fast?"

The noodle shop owner was very surprised.

"When you talk about the speed of donkeys, I have to tell you about the story of Emperor Taizong of the Song Dynasty driving a donkey cart."

Gu Qing talked about the drifting of Emperor Taizong of Song's donkey cart and said, "My speed is far inferior to Emperor Taizong of Song's."

After hearing about the elegance of Emperor Taizong of Song, the noodle seller was greatly enlightened. After three rounds of drinks, he said, "Your kindness to Shanshan is as great as a mountain. Shanshan wants to repay you with her own life. Please stay with me tonight."

Gu Qing immediately waved his hand, clearly refusing, and said, "I don't like any pretty girls. I like fighting! It's awesome!"
