Martial Arts Crossover: My Wife is the Top Scholar

Chapter 65 Li Shengnan: Li Zhaoting, please die!
Li Zhaoting put the small tin box away.

Inside the tin box were tattered parchment scrolls.

This is Li Zhaoting's "change of address fee".

From now on, Xiao Yuanshan is no longer Li Zhaoting's senior, but Li Zhaoting's Uncle Xiao.

Seniors are there to take the fall!

My uncle is family, connected by blood!

“Uncle, there are methods to investigating cases. If you want me to help you with the case, we need to make a gentleman’s agreement.”

"Tell me!"

"First, you cannot kill people."

"How can you take revenge without killing someone?"

“Aren’t all your enemies dead? Find a secluded mountain forest, cultivate your mind and body, and when your nephew finds relevant clues, you can come out of the mountains to take revenge.”

"You want to imprison me?"

“I will never stop anyone from taking revenge. I just don’t want you to kill innocent people because of hatred. Some people are your enemies, and some people are innocent civilians.”

"Kid, you have a good eye!"

Xiao Yuanshan stared intently at Li Zhaoting.

Li Zhaoting stood tall and proud, refusing to back down in the slightest.

Xiao Feng said in a deep voice, "Father, the hatred for killing my mother is irreconcilable. I will avenge her, but the target of my revenge is the enemy. You need to calm down for a few months."

Xiao Yuanshan nodded heavily.

"A gentleman's word!"

"Hurry up and whip your horse!"

Two palms clapping together.

A high five to seal the oath.

A promise worth a thousand dollars.

Li Zhaoting continued, "Secondly, for your health, please seek treatment from a renowned physician. Shaolin martial arts require Buddhist teachings; otherwise, they may backfire."

"What do you mean?"

"Buddhism is for saving the world, while martial arts are for killing. Although there are methods to subdue demons and monsters with the wrathful gaze of Vajra, killing and harming people with martial arts for a long time will inevitably accumulate serious resentment."

These negative energies need to be resolved through Buddhism.

Otherwise, over time, resentment will seep into the body.

In mild cases, it can cause severed meridians; in severe cases, it can lead to complete paralysis.

You've lived in seclusion at Shaolin for thirty years; you must have met the Thirteen Supreme Monk Xuancheng, right? Even with Xuancheng's unparalleled talent and his foundation in Buddhist martial arts since childhood, he still suffered a backlash after mastering the thirteen supreme techniques.

My uncle's foundational martial arts are pure Yang Qi, not Buddhist mental techniques. Over the years, he has devoted himself to studying Shaolin's unique skills, which has already caused him serious internal injuries.

You might think I'm being mysterious.

Let me put it another way.

Shaolin martial arts are divided into internal and external styles.

External martial arts techniques can form a powerful internal energy from the outside in, with the Dragon Claw Hand being the most outstanding.

All internal martial arts techniques come with their own internal energy cultivation methods. The Flower-Picking Finger has its own internal energy cultivation method, and the Formless Calamity Finger has its own internal energy cultivation method. They are independent of each other.

These internal martial arts techniques have both hard and soft, yin and yang, fast and slow, and are all stored in the eight extraordinary meridians.

Do you think this is normal?

Shaolin disciples practice martial arts to strengthen their bodies, following a fixed path step by step. My elder brother is an example of this; he started by learning Arhat Fist and progressed all the way to Demon Subduing Palm.

While you were browsing through the secret manuals in the library, you only thought about the profound and mysterious martial arts techniques, but you didn't know that you were sowing the seeds of illness.

If you don't have a divine doctor to treat your body, even if I help you find your enemy, can you defeat him?

Uncle, you need to think this through!

Li Zhaoting patiently persuaded him to buy insurance.

Whether retreating to the deep mountains and forests to cultivate one's mind and body, or seeking a divine healer to cure one's illness, there is no time to stir up trouble.

At least he won't be bored and make his son play with fun!

Upon hearing this, Xiao Feng immediately offered advice to Xiao Yuanshan.

Xiao Yuanshan asked in frustration, "Which renowned doctor should I go to for treatment? Tell me his name."

"There are three renowned doctors for you to choose from."

Hu Qingniu, the "Immortal Physician of Butterfly Valley," has sworn to treat anyone who is not a disciple of the Ming Cult. However, as far as I know, he has a mortal enemy. You can help him take revenge.

Don't worry, brother. Hu Qingniu's enemy is a treacherous, vicious, hypocritical man who is kind on the surface but evil on the inside. He deserves to die. Let me know when you come to kill him.

I want his head as a dowry.

Xue Muhua, the "enemy of Yama," has a condition for healing him: he must pass on a unique skill to him. As far as I know, he has a blood feud with Ding Chunqiu. You can help him take revenge.

Ding Chunqiu had killed countless people and was infamous. Killing him in any way would be doing a service to the people, and using his head as payment would be considered an act of chivalry.

The last divine healer came from Medicine King Valley.

This man's name is Jia Zhuangxian. He majored in internal medicine and is especially skilled in conditioning and health preservation, except for one thing..."

Li Zhaoting stammered, unable to speak.

Xiao Yuanshan joked, "What enemies does this Jia Zhuangxian have? Whose head did he use as payment for his consultation?"

"Uncle misunderstands. He has no enemies. It's just that the treatment process will be very painful. Jia Zhuangxian is very strict about health preservation, so Uncle needs to be calm and have few desires."

"What do you mean?"

"No drinking from large bowls, no eating large chunks of meat, no high-oil and high-salt foods, no late-night snacks, just vegetables, tofu, and white rice every day, without a trace of oil..."

"What kind of fucking miracle doctor is this? I'd rather die with my meridians ruptured than accept this!"

Xiao Yuanshan rejected Jia Zhuangxian without hesitation.

Xiao Feng's drinking capacity was inherited from Xiao Yuanshan.

Xiao Yuanshan wasn't a drunkard like Tang Zhuquan, who could go two or three days without drinking; three days was his limit.

Following Jia Zhuangxian's health regimen, Xiao Yuanshan was instructed to cultivate a life of simplicity and abstinence. Within three days, Xiao Yuanshan would hang Jia Zhuangxian on a tree and then indulge in a gluttonous feast.

Xiao Feng swallowed hard.

To be honest, Xiao Feng also felt very frustrated.

I can tolerate everything else, but I absolutely cannot tolerate drinking.

Xiao Feng smoothed things over, saying, "The old monster Ding Chunqiu of the Star Constellation has committed numerous evils and is incorrigible. He deserves to be punished by heaven and earth. Let's go and kill Ding Chunqiu and use his money as a consultation fee."

Xiao Yuanshan made the decision: "Let's do it this way!"

"Second brother, are there any other miracle doctors?"

"Yes, I've heard that there's an old imperial physician who lives in seclusion in a village called Phoenix Town. This old imperial physician's medical skills are unparalleled, and he can be called the best in the world."

"What's his name?"

"Golden Chest!"

"The Snow Doctor's Golden Cabinet? He's still alive?"

"I'm not far from getting Alzheimer's!"

"Time is merciless; even heroes grow old with gray hair!"

...the next day.

Ren Ci rushed to Wuxi despite being ill.

Xiao Feng stepped down as leader, and the position was passed on to Hong Qigong.

The lost elders should be replaced as soon as possible.

Hong Riqing traveled all over the world in search of heroes.

To prevent Hong Qigong from being plotted against one day, leaving the Beggars' Sect without a genius to lead them, thus avoiding a generational gap.

This is not alarmist.

The Beggars' Sect in Liang Yusheng's novels is just like that.

Due to the severe shortage of talent, they had no choice but to ask the Mangshan Sect for a disciple to serve as the leader of the Beggars' Sect. This disciple was later killed by Meng Shentong.

Meng Shentong had just learned the Asura Yin Sha Technique and had reached about three or four levels of cultivation. He was completely unable to unleash the power of the technique, and its power was far less than that of the Frost True Qi.

The Asura Yin Sha Technique is the strongest villainous ultimate skill of the Liang faction.

From the Song Dynasty to the Qing Dynasty, the villains of each era used the Asura Yin Sha Gong to fight against various protagonists, from pure Yang Gang Qi to profound martial arts secrets, and their achievements were remarkable.

In most cases, the villains use the supreme ninth level of the Asura Yin Sha Technique to fight against the protagonist group. Martial artists who are killed by the third or fourth level are practically nothing more than roadside stragglers.

This level of skill, achieved by someone who could be found on the street, is something the Beggars' Sect wouldn't even dare to dream of. It was obtained from the Mangshan Sect through personal connections, which shows how much the sect has declined.

It is extremely difficult for the Beggars' Sect to recruit geniuses.

Geniuses all have tempers.

Why choose to become a beggar when there are major sects like Shaolin, Wudang, Emei, and the Demonic Sect? Does being a beggar offer some kind of advantage? Has someone lost their mind?

What can the Beggars' Sect do?
Travel the world and search everywhere!

Such is Hong Qigong!
Hong Riqing is the same!
Do you really think Hong Qigong taught the Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms for a few meals? You're seriously underestimating Hong Qigong!

Xiao Yuanshan went to find Xue Muhua.

Xiao Feng went to find Qiao Sanhuai and his wife.

Others might have some ulterior motives towards Xiao Feng, but Qiao Sanhuai and his wife were genuinely kind to him. Li Zhaoting suggested sending him to Dali to keep his father company.

Duan Yu volunteered to send the fisherman, woodcutter, farmer, scholar, and bodyguard Qiao Sanhuai and his wife to Dali. Dali is a place of beautiful mountains and clear waters, perfect for retirement, and they can also visit Changchun Valley.

The Beggars' Sect's affairs have come to an end.

Li Zhaoting originally planned to go to Young Master Zhu and find Bai Yujing's whereabouts through Young Master Zhu's connections.

I was ambushed by experts as soon as I left Wuxi.

A woman in red sat on a tree, holding a jade flute in her hand, leisurely playing a little tune.

Li Zhaoting was quite knowledgeable about music and could hear the humor in the melody. It was clearly a melodious flute sound, but it sounded like a mosquito flying around and a clumsy guy chasing and swatting it with a slipper. He was making a lot of noise and finally swatted the mosquito to death.

Li Zhaoting is that "mosquito".

Unfortunately, the woman in red did not take off her shoes.

Li Zhaoting would be quite willing to be chased and beaten by the beauty with her embroidered shoes, treating it as training in lightness skills. As long as the beauty was willing, he would not mind running a thousand miles.

Lan Fenghuang pouted, her face full of vigilance.

It is said that there are many beautiful women in Miao areas, but the Central Plains are a vast and abundant land with far more beautiful women than Miao areas.

Recently, Lan Fenghuang has seen several stunning beauties. Even Kang Min, who was frightened to death, would have been a top-tier beauty if she were fifteen years younger.

Although Ren Ci's wife, Qiu Lingsu, covered her face with a veil, one could tell from her figure, lines, and temperament that she possessed a beauty that could topple kingdoms.

These are all fine.

Most of them belong to the "elderly".

The Blue Phoenix has an unbeatable advantage.

--young!
Youth is a beauty's greatest asset!

Until she saw the beauty in red.

For some reason, she thought of Feng Suzhen.

The beauty in red surpasses even Feng Suzhen in both looks and temperament, especially her cold and stern demeanor and the way she looks down at ants, which is terrifying. With just one glance, she can make people kneel at her feet.

Lan Fenghuang instinctively leaned towards Li Zhaoting.

Li Zhaoting felt a little regretful.

Such a proud and aloof beauty, how perfect she would look if she wore a pair of red-soled high heels!

People rely on clothes.

Beautiful women need beautiful clothes.

Lan Fenghuang felt that Feng Suzhen's temperament was slightly weak because Feng Suzhen never took the initiative to show her imposing presence in front of Lan Fenghuang; she was always a virtuous wife and loving mother.

The most suitable attire for Feng Suzhen is... official robes!
The most suitable outfit for Blue Phoenix is... Miao attire!
What suits Wang Yuyan best is... a white dress!
A red dress is the perfect choice for a woman dressed in red.

Fiery, passionate, alluring, aloof, and prickly!
What a stunningly beautiful red rose!

Li Zhaoting guessed the other party's identity.

The Holy Maiden of the Demonic Cult.

Ordered to capture the petty thief who stole the martial arts manual.

We must kill that thief!

Like the song "swatting mosquitoes" in a folk tune.

"Dare you ask the girl her name?"

"It seems proper to state your own name before asking someone else's; it's basic courtesy!"

“Since you know my name, why should I waste my breath? Since you have asked, I have nothing to hide. My name is Li Zhaoting, courtesy name Buyi.”

"My name is Li Shengnan!"

"Good name!"

"I'm here to kill you!"

"I can guess why the girl came."

"Now that you know my name, you can die in peace. Please, go and die, okay?"

"I have only one life. Half of it is to be bound together with my wife's hair, and the other half is in the arms of the phoenix. If I were to give it to you, young lady, wouldn't I be letting down both of you?"

“I can bring them into the Holy Church.”

"They don't want to."

"I'm not asking for opinions."

"So what are you doing?"

"Wait until you show a weakness!"

"Have you found a flaw?"

"It wasn't there before, but it is now!"

A flash of sword light pierced towards Li Zhaoting's shoulder.

Li Shengnan is proud and arrogant. She will neither take advantage of others' misfortunes nor use Lan Fenghuang as a hostage. Li Shengnan will defeat Li Zhaoting with her own abilities.

Li Shengnan's inherent arrogance was something even Yu Luosha couldn't overcome. Martial arts are not omnipotent. Even though Yu Luosha's martial arts were all-powerful and her demonic power was boundless, she was helpless when it came to issues such as the education of her offspring, the personality of a saint, and the ancestral love-obsessed nature of the Demon Sect princess.

Li Zhaoting unfolded his folding fan and covered the sword's edge!
The fierce battle begins!
