The Legend of the Condor Heroes: I became one of the Five Great Masters by drawing cards

Chapter 175 Beginning with Chaos and Ending with Abandonment
After two glasses of wine, before the two of them arrived, a group of five people came up here.

The people who came were not outsiders, but Master Yideng and his four disciples: fisherman, woodcutter, farmer, and scholar.

Now, the day of the Huashan Sword Contest has not yet arrived, but these three enemies have gotten together.

It was fate that made today seem destined to be the day when the old naughty boy would suffer. Gu Ping'an almost couldn't hold back his laughter on the spot.

"Huh?" Dian Cang Yuyin was surprised to see Gu Ping'an and the others. "Young Master Gu, long time no see!"

The two of them quickly stood up and saluted: "Greetings, Master Yideng, four senior brothers."

Master Yideng clasped his hands together and bowed slightly in return.

Gu Ping'an remembered that it was the first time he met Mu Nianci, and quickly introduced her.

"This is the Nianci I mentioned to the Master earlier. She is now my married wife. Unfortunately, the journey is too long, so I dare not disturb the Master to come and witness it in person."

Master Yideng looked at Mu Nianci and nodded continuously, with a kind smile and a very kind expression.

"A monk has no possessions. This string of Buddhist beads has been with me for quite some time, so I'm giving it to you two as a gift as a blessing."

Gu Ping'an couldn't refuse and had to accept it. The fisherman, woodcutter, farmer and scholar congratulated him again.

"Master, you have come all the way to Mount Hua for..."

"I am an old, idle monk, and I dare not compete with the heroes of the world anymore. I am not here to discuss swordsmanship on Mount Hua, but because of an old incident."

After Master Yideng explained their purpose, Gu Ping'an finally understood why the three of them gathered here.

It’s not right to say three people. Including Qiu Qianren who has already died, there should be four people.

Yinggu never found an opportunity to go up the mountain to assassinate the old boy, so she has been living in seclusion in the Black Swamp at the foot of Iron Palm Mountain. For many years, she has been studying the Qimen Dunjia and the Nine Palaces Divination, hoping to break into Peach Blossom Island and rescue the old naughty boy.

Seeing that the time for the Huashan Sword Contest was approaching, she suddenly threw away all her abacus and bamboo sticks, left the swamp and headed north, heading straight for Huashan.

According to Gu Ping'an's guess, she must have learned the news that the Old Boy had left Peach Blossom Island.

He was trapped on the island by Huang Yaoshi for more than ten years, and the Seven Quanzhen Masters were still unaware of it, but Yinggu was able to find out. Now that she knew that he had left the island, it was naturally not surprising.

As for going to Mount Huashan, it was probably because he guessed that the Old Boy was obsessed with martial arts and would definitely participate in the Huashan Sword Contest, so he followed him here specially.

Master Yideng mistakenly believed that Yinggu knew that the murderer of her child was Qiu Qianren, so she chased him for thousands of miles. He hurried here to resolve the injustice that had lasted for twenty years.

"This"

Gu Ping'an coughed lightly, feeling a little embarrassed.

"Master, you've come all this way, but I'm afraid it's all in vain."

"Why?" Master Yideng was puzzled and looked doubtful.

"I know that Master wants to persuade Concubine Liu to let go of her hatred and, by the way, enlighten Qiu Qianren and make him turn back from his ways."

Gu Ping'an touched his nose unconsciously and tried his best to organize his words.

"This enlightenment is definitely not possible now, but that Concubine Liu doesn't have to think about revenge anymore."

Master Yideng was, after all, a man capable of being the emperor of a country. He was only slightly startled, then he understood the meaning of his words.

"You mean, Qiu Qianren is dead?"

Gu Ping'an nodded and recounted the story of how Qiu Qianren took advantage of a dangerous position on the mountain road to attack him, but was then killed in return.

"Everything has its own cause and effect." Master Yideng nodded silently, "But I didn't come here to save him."

"Master!"

The fisherman, the woodcutter, the farmer and the scholar spoke in unison, as if they wanted to persuade him, but he waved his hand to stop them.

"This also includes sins that I need to atone for. Whether to kill Qiu Qianren is her business, but my life is still waiting for her to take it away."

Master Yideng sighed deeply, and his eyes became a little moist.

Mu Nianci was soft-hearted, and her eyes welled up as she listened to him recount the past. "Every wrong has its perpetrator, every debt has its creditor. While that innocent child was truly pitiful, it was Qiu Qianren who killed him. Even if he committed the crime, he alone should pay for it."

"If I hadn't been so obsessed back then and refused to help, how could that child have passed away?"

Master Yideng smiled bitterly with tears in his eyes and shook his head slightly.

"For over ten years, I've been unable to sleep day and night, always hoping to save more people to atone for this sin. But even if I save thousands of people, that child will still be dead. If I don't repay him with my own life, how can I eliminate this sin, and how can I resolve this cause and effect?"

Everyone was speechless for a moment, but they heard shouts coming from the mountain. Yinggu's voice was choked and her tone was sad.

The Old Boy ran closer and saw a monk with a long beard. Suddenly he realized that the man looked exactly like Emperor Duan, and he let out another strange cry.

"Old naughty boy, don't run away!"

Gu Ping'an jumped in front of him and raised his hand to stop him.

"Get out of the way!"

Zhou Botong was extremely frightened at this time and didn't care about their friendship. He reached out to pull his clothes and wanted to pull him aside.

"This Huashan Mountain is in conflict with the Old Naughty Boy. If I had known this, I wouldn't have come here!"

Since Gu Ping'an wanted to stop him, how could he be easily pulled away? He immediately used the Tianshan Zhemei Hand to grab his wrist.

The grappling technique was exquisite. The Old Boy was already panicking and had not expected him to make a move, so he was captured immediately and had to use all his strength to resist.

"Gu kid, why are you causing trouble for no reason? If you want to pick a fight with the old naughty boy, let's talk about it another day!"

His right hand was clamped tightly and he couldn't break free for a while, so he had to use the Kongming Fist with his left hand to force him to let go.

Gu Ping'an countered his moves with his hands, but kept talking.

"Zhou Botong, I thought you were just a naughty boy, but I never expected you to be such a despicable person!"

"You, you, you, stop talking nonsense!"

Although the Old Boy had a childish nature, he knew the meaning of "seducing and abandoning". He hit the sore spot and confused his moves for a while.

Gu Ping'an took advantage of the situation and shouted again: "Did you know that you have a son?"

The old naughty boy was shocked all over, his mind was in great confusion, and both his hands were immediately grabbed.

At this moment, Yinggu finally caught up with him, stopped in front of him, and burst into tears.

"Botong!"

The cry was mournful and sad, like the blood-crying cuckoo.

Gu Ping'an let go of his hand, but the Old Boy did not run away. He stood there in a daze, his mind in chaos.

He also just realized that he had had an affair with Yinggu and had given birth to a son. When he came to his senses, he saw Master Yideng had also come in front of him.

Yinggu only then saw him and immediately became furious. Her right hand flashed with golden light and she stabbed his throat with her Seven Needles.

Master Yideng closed his eyes, raised his head slightly, and actually offered his neck to be killed.

It’s a pity that just when he was about to take revenge, his wrist was captured by someone.

"Who are you! Why are you stopping me?!" Yinggu shouted angrily.

She had previously seen this man show her the way and help stop Zhou Botong. She was extremely grateful, but she did not expect that he would stop her from taking revenge.

"I'm sorry, Master Yideng is willing to die, but I can't let you kill him."

Yinggu tried to break free several times but couldn't. Seeing the old naughty boy standing there like a clay or wooden statue, she shouted in despair.

"Zhou Botong! The enemy is right in front of you, why don't you kill him and avenge your son?!"
