Transmigrating into Murong Fu, may you have many children and much happiness.

Chapter 168 Dragon Subduing Eighteen Palms VS Dragon Subduing Eighteen Palms, Is My Great Liao Dynasty Doomed?!

Xiangyang has existed since the Western Han Dynasty. Located in northwestern Hubei Province, in the middle reaches of the Han River, it has been a strategic location fought over by military strategists since ancient times.

Qiao Feng had visited the Tianlong world many times, but the scene before him now was very different from what he had seen a few years ago.

Qiao Feng looked around and said, "Brother, don't joke with me. What do you mean by a hundred years later? What do you mean by Xiangyang?"

Aren't we in Yanziwu, Suzhou?

Murong Fu knew that as a person from the Northern Song Dynasty, he really didn't have the concept of time travel, so he didn't say anything more. He then saw two members of the Gang of Scoundrels passing by at the street corner, so he waved to them to come over.

The two disciples were overjoyed to discover that it was Young Master Murong, and they came over with smiles on their faces.

Murong Fu's reputation is now at its zenith. In the Central Plains, he is a great hero and savior, sparking a craze among martial arts practitioners to learn horsemanship and archery. In Mongolia, however, he is a grim reaper and a demon, a legend that can make adults tremble and children stop crying.

Two disciples approached, bowed, and said, "Greetings, Young Master Murong!" x2

Murong Fu nodded and asked, "You two are disciples of the Bow Clan, right? Do you know the past leaders of your Bow Clan?"

The two exchanged a glance, and the slightly taller Qi Gong said, "I think the gang mentioned it, but I can't remember." He looked at his companion and asked, "Can you remember?"

The slightly short and stout beggar said, "I only know about Seventh Master, as well as Chief Huang and Chief Lu."

.

Knowing that the Bow Gang members generally had limited education, Murong Fu said, "I'll just stroll around this street for a while. Have your Elder Liang come find me."

The two disciples then left, and Murong Fu led Qiao Feng to stroll around the city of Xiangyang.

Originally, upon hearing that the Mongol army was going to attack the city, many people fled in advance, and the shops were not prosperous during those days, and the streets were deserted.

But now, Murong Fu and a group of martial arts figures, along with General Lü, have repelled the Mongols and made a name for themselves, and many people have returned.

After all, in those days, traveling could easily lead to death, and leaving one's hometown was a last resort.

Those who haven't gone far and don't know where to go are naturally better off believing in Young Master Murong's divine power and returning to Xiangyang to continue their lives.

Ordinary people naturally wouldn't know what Murong Fu looked like. After all, information travels very slowly here. The fact that the people know the name "Young Master Murong" already shows that Murong Fu is extremely famous. The names of ordinary sect leaders or gang leaders would never be passed down among the people, not even the leader of the largest gang in the Central Plains, the leader of the largest sect in the Central Plains, the leader of the largest sect in the Central Plains, the abbot of the largest temple in the Central Plains, Shaolin.

Murong Fu led Qiao Feng casually through the various shops, occasionally asking him questions about the current situation.

Qiao Feng, standing to the side, was still unable to accept it, but he was clearly pondering it deeply.

Before long, Elder Liang and his disciples found Murong Fu.

He bowed and said, "Young Master Murong, you have something to discuss with me." He then glanced at Qiao Feng beside Murong Fu, waiting for Murong Fu to introduce him. He thought to himself, "What a fine man!" He wondered if Young Master Murong had summoned him because of him.

Murong Fu returned the greeting with a cupped hand and said, "Elder Liang, this is my sworn brother, Xiao Feng."

"Brother, this is Liang Zhengsheng, the current law enforcement elder of the Bow Gang."

Qiao Feng was puzzled. The Murong brothers had always addressed him as Qiao Feng, so why did they hesitate and call him Xiao Feng now? He was also puzzled by Elder Liang, whom he had never seen before.

After the death of the previous law enforcement elder, Bai Shijing, a replacement will indeed take over, but this person is quite old. Logically speaking, you should have met him before, right?

After Murong Fu finished speaking, the two naturally cupped their hands in greeting and said hello.

"My name is Liang Zhengsheng. I greet you, sir."

"I am Xiao Feng, a Khitan. Greetings, brother."

Elder Liang was somewhat puzzled when he heard Qiao Feng claim to be a Khitan, but he didn't say anything.

Murong Fu then continued:

"Elder Liang, are you familiar with the past leaders of the Bow Gang and their deeds?"

Elder Liang said, "Yes, I know that. May I ask which gang leader Young Master Murong would like to learn about?"

Murong Fu said, "Then tell me about the eighth or ninth generation leader of the Bow Gang."

Elder Liang didn't know why Murong Fu suddenly asked about figures from a hundred years ago, but he answered truthfully:

"The eighth generation leader of the gang was named Wang Jiantong, nicknamed 'Sword Beard.' He was renowned throughout the martial arts world for his 'Dog-Beating Stick Technique' and 'Twenty-Eight Subduing Dragon Palms,' and was deeply respected by everyone in the Bow Gang. He was a highly respected old hero who made many contributions in resisting the invasions of the Liao and Western Xia dynasties."

He passed away shortly after handing over the leadership of the Bow Gang to the ninth leader.

Upon hearing this, Qiao Feng's face showed a hint of melancholy. After all, Wang Jiantong was his mentor.

Elder Liang continued:

"The ninth elder was rather special; he was not from the Central Plains, but a Khitan. At that time, there was constant conflict between the Song and Liao dynasties."

His election as gang leader was fraught with difficulties.

Before taking over, he overcame three major challenges and made seven great contributions, making it arguably the most difficult challenge to become the leader of the gang.

He was a man of bold and generous character, highly skilled in martial arts, intelligent and brave, and loyal to the highest order. He was known for his unyielding spirit and unparalleled martial arts skills. In particular, he simplified the "Twenty-Eight Subduing Dragon Palms" into the "Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms," and his pair of iron palms were invincible. He was a first-rate man of his time.

He later left the archery guild due to his identity issues, and ultimately committed suicide before Yanmen Pass to prevent war between the Liao and Song dynasties.

Qiao Feng was a little embarrassed when Elder Liang praised him at first.

But when he heard the last part, about his self-reflection in front of Yanmen Pass, his face was full of disbelief.

He murmured, "This?...How could this be?"

In fact, according to the original story, Qiao Feng wouldn't be alive today. It's just that Murong Fu made too many changes to the world, and perhaps many things went astray. This delayed Yelü Hongji's plan to attack the Song Dynasty by two years. During this time, Murong Fu was always wondering why Qiao Feng hadn't arrived yet, and why the Liao Dynasty showed no signs of attacking.

At this point, Elder Liang said with some doubt, "It's quite a coincidence that our ninth leader, Qiao Feng, was originally named Xiao Feng, and he was a Khitan."

Murong Fu then asked, "And what about the eighteenth generation elder? Could you introduce him again?"

Liang Zhengsheng said, "The eighteenth generation elder is named Hong Qigong, nicknamed Nine-Finger Divine Bow. In the 'Mount Hua Sword Tournament,' Hong Qigong won the title of 'Northern Bow' with his superb martial arts skills."

His signature techniques were the "Dog-Beating Stick Technique" and the "Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms," but these palm techniques were incomplete, with three palms lost. It was Master Qi himself who completed the missing parts.

Murong Fu nodded and then asked, "Where is Master Qi now?"

Elder Liang pointed to the city wall and said, "He and Hero Guo are on the city wall."

Murong Fu nodded, letting Elder Liang go on his own, and then led a puzzled Qiao Feng to the city wall.

They saw Qi Gong eating melon seeds and Guo Jing standing on the city wall.

The two greeted Murong Fu warmly upon seeing him. Behind him stood a burly man with a high nose, wide mouth, square head, and large ears. His internal energy flowed continuously, and it seemed as if one could hear the sound of his blood and qi flowing from ten steps away.

Guo Jing and Hong Qigong exchanged a glance, both seeing disbelief in each other's eyes.

The two felt that this person's martial arts skills were no less profound than those of Young Master Murong.

Actually, the two had misunderstood each other. It was just that Murong Fu hadn't used his full strength when he captured Jinlun and when he threw stones to fight back, which revealed that his skill level was comparable to Qiao Feng's at that moment.

Murong Fu's Mingyu Gong was extremely effective at concealment, while Qiao Feng was all-out and unrestrained. Except when he was in ambush, he had no habit of hiding. Any expert with a discerning eye could tell that he was a top-notch master.

Guo Jing said, "Brother Murong, you've arrived."

He then cupped his hands in greeting to Qiao Feng and said, "My name is Guo Jing. May I ask who this gentleman is?"

Qiao Feng also cupped his hands in greeting. He could tell from Guo Jing's appearance that he was also a man of unyielding integrity. He couldn't help but feel happy and said, "I am Xiao Feng, a Khitan."

Upon hearing this name, Guo Jing and Hong Qigong couldn't help but exchange a glance.

Their eyes were communicating.

Is the name of Xiao Feng, a Khitan, the same as that of our former leader of the Bow Gang?

"Nonsense, I told you this back then, how could I not know?"

Murong Fu interrupted their suspicions and introduced Hong Qigong to Qiao Feng.

Upon hearing the name Hong Qigong, Qiao Feng raised an eyebrow and said, "Oh? You are Hong Qigong..." Seeing the man's white hair and beard, Qiao Feng added, "Senior Hong Qigong?"

Qi Gong nodded, stood up and said, "Your Excellency... Your name..."

Knowing that everyone was hesitant, Murong Fu said, "Since all three of you know the 'Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms,' why don't we have a friendly spar here?"

Both sides were startled by these words.

The Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms were a skill that only the leaders of the Bow Clan could learn. Back then, Hong Qigong wanted to teach Guo Jing two or three moves to save his life because Huang Rong was an amazing cook and Guo Jing was honest and kind. However, Huang Rong's cooking skills were so superb that she made all sorts of unheard-of and unseen delicacies for Hong Qigong every day, making him reluctant to part with them. As he passed on the skills, he ended up teaching him 15 moves.

Qiao Feng was even more shocked, because the Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms was clearly an improvement he made from the "Twenty-Eight Subduing Dragon Palms". Even if other members of the Bow Clan had inherited it, they would at most know the "Twenty-Eight Palms" instead of the "Eighteen Palms" that he modified himself. He clearly remembered that he had never passed it on to anyone else.

However, both sides knew that Murong Fu was not a person who spoke without reason. Hong Qigong was too old and had not fought with anyone for a long time, so it was naturally Guo Jing and Xiao Feng who were fighting.

Qi Gong said, "Very well, let's see which is more exquisite, Master Xiao's Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms or my disciple's palm technique."

Qiao Feng looked at Murong Fu and noticed that Murong Fu was pointing at Guo Jing instead of facing him, so he said, "Alright, let me, Xiao, have a go with Master Guo."

Both of them followed a bold and unrestrained style, and their Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms were an extremely powerful and fierce external martial art. After their palms clashed, they both used the move "Dragon Fights in the Wild," but both of them frowned at the same time.

Qiao Feng felt that although the opponent's palm technique was of the same origin as his own, it had a hint of femininity within its masculine strength. In fact, this was a slight change that Guo Jing brought to the Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms after comprehending the Nine Yin Manual.

On the other hand, Guo Jing felt an unparalleled force and an extremely fierce and indomitable spirit.

Qiao Feng took one step back, while Guo Jing took five steps back.

It wasn't that Guo Jing caused any shock to Qiao Feng, but rather that Qiao Feng realized Guo Jing's strength was inferior to his.

He didn't use his full strength, after all, it was a cut, not a life-or-death struggle.

After all, although the two are of similar age, Qiao Feng is already a top-tier expert, while Guo Jing will not reach that level for another sixteen years.

The two then exchanged a few more blows, with Qiao Feng gaining a slight advantage each time.

But both Hong Qigong and Guo Jing could see that Qiao Feng was not using his full strength at all.

In particular, Qi Gong discovered that Qiao Feng had three moves that were completely different from those used by Guo Jing. These were the three moves that he had lost and then realized and completed on his own: "Sudden Appearance", "Fish Leaping from the Abyss", and "Loss Leads to Trust". However, the three moves used by the opponent were like clouds compared to his own creations.

Hong Qigong was momentarily mesmerized, muttering to himself, "Yes, that's how it should be, that's how it should be..."

However, he didn't seem to care much about his good disciple Guo Jing getting beaten up. Having known Guo Jing for many years, he naturally knew that Guo Jing was tough and resilient.

When the duel ended, Guo Jing was covered in bruises, and his face was also bruised.

Just then, Yelü Qi arrived with his sister Yelü Yan. The two witnessed the two fighters separating, only to discover that one of them was none other than Guo Jing, who was also bleeding from his nose.

Murong Fu watched from the side, wanting to laugh, so he walked over to the stunned Qi Gong and took a handful of melon seeds from his pocket.

Yelü Qi naturally ran forward and took out a coin to wipe it:

"Uncle Guo, what's wrong with you?"

Yelü Qi was Zhou Botong's disciple, and Guo Jing and Zhou Botong had once sworn brotherhood, so naturally Guo Jing should call him uncle.

If it were an ordinary person, they might feel embarrassed to cover up if they were injured in front of a younger person.

But Guo Jing was a straightforward person; he said what he meant. Upon seeing that it was Yelü Qi, he said:

"It's Qi'er. I just sparred with Brother Xiao, but I was no match for him, haha."

It's a minor injury, nothing serious.

Wiping away the blood from his nose, and with bruised eyes, he cupped his hands and said, "Brother Xiao's Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms are far more exquisite than mine. It seems my skills are lacking."

He then introduced him to Qiao Feng, saying, "Brother Xiao, this is my sworn brother Zhou Botong's disciple, named Yelü Qi."

That girl was his younger sister, Yelü Yan.

Qiao Feng greatly admired Guo Jing's straightforwardness and open-mindedness.

I'm also curious about the subtle changes in the gentle force contained within the Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms.

But upon hearing that the young man and woman both shared the surname Yelü, they were even more alarmed.

It should be noted that Yelü was a member of the royal family of the Liao Dynasty, and although Xiao was a Khitan noble, there was still a gap in status between him and Yelü.

He wondered why these two members of the Liao royal family were in Xiangyang. Were they also there to gather intelligence in preparation for war?

He recognized all the members of the Liao royal family, but had never seen these two before. "That's it, Brother Murong said this is Xiangyang more than a hundred years in the future... Could it be..."

Qiao Feng pondered to himself.

Qi Gong also realized that something was wrong. His name, status, and martial arts all hinted at something amiss.

He then asked Murong Fu, "Young Master Murong, this person..."

When Murong Fu heard Guo Jing speaking, and it was at the most exciting part, he signaled to Seventh Master to be quiet.

Guo Jing then said, "Speaking of which, this Brother Xiao is also a Khitan, just like you and your sister."

When Yelü Qi heard that Qiao Feng's surname was Xiao and that he was a descendant of the Khitan, his eyes lit up and he said, "Senior, are you also a descendant of the Khitan?!"

Could it be the Xiao family lineage?! Alas, ever since my Liao Kingdom was destroyed...

Qiao Feng suddenly interrupted:

"What?! My Great Liao Dynasty is gone?!"
