Tianlong: Starting with Mantuo Manor as fertilizer

Xie Bu Ruo and Feng Bo E hid outside the temple to observe.

By the light of the fire, Xie Buruo was finally able to see the faces of the two people who had been there before.

The man was tall and thin, with a livid face.

The man was short, stout, and burly, with a ruddy complexion.

As soon as the two stepped inside, they bowed to the bound Xue Muhua.

The fat man said, "Dr. Xue, your helpers have been lured away by us. You might as well give up now."

Xue Muhua snorted, turned his head away, and didn't even look at them.

The skinny man spoke much more amiably.

"Dr. Xue, please ask yourself honestly, although we invited you here, apart from temporarily sealing your martial arts, have we treated you in the slightest? We have not dared to be disrespectful in our words."

"We ask for little, just two small things."

"You are the greatest physician in the world, with vast knowledge far surpassing that of us uncouth men. You must know where this rare medicinal material, five-foot deer antler, is most easily produced."

"We're not asking you for medicine, we're just asking about its origin. Why are you so unapproachable?"

He paused, then said, "If you don't agree to this, then forget it."

"As the saying goes, doctors are benevolent. We ask for nothing more than a prescription that can alleviate the pain when the illness flares up."

After he finished speaking, Doctor Xue turned his head and said coldly.

"Hmph, I told you long ago. What's afflicting you can't be cured by medicine. However, there are one or two herbs that do have an effect on relieving itching and pain."

The two men were overjoyed and hurriedly said, "Please, divine physician, have mercy!"

Doctor Xue raised his bound hands: "But you are so rude, what right do I have to tell you?"

The skinny man wanted to ask more questions, but was interrupted.

"Old District, where is that kid surnamed Xie now?"

Upon hearing the voice, Xie immediately recognized it as the evil god of the South Sea.

The island lord was interrupted by him. He glanced at the other person and said irritably, "At Tongfu Inn in town."

Upon hearing this, the evil god of the South China Sea was overjoyed and slapped the newly recovered Tan Qing hard.

The force was so great that it almost sent him flying.

"Let's go settle the score with this kid!"

Just as he stood up, the Evil God of the South Sea became somewhat doubtful again and asked, "Old District, Old Ha, is the information correct?"

Ha Da domineeringly said, "It was Island Master Yun who personally investigated."

As he spoke, he turned his gaze away from Yue Laosan and towards Tan Qing.

"You've experienced his ability to track down and trace people."

Tan Qing gave an awkward smile: "Island Master Yun is a cut above the rest. Back then, he chased me so relentlessly that I had nowhere to run. If it weren't for my fourth uncle arriving in time, I would have died under his blade long ago. So naturally, I trust his ability to track down and trace people."

A moment later, the Crocodile God of the South Sea led Tan Qing out of the dilapidated temple and left.

Xie Buruo hid in the distance, watching the sickly Tan Qing, and sighed inwardly that this person was really lucky, and was also glad that he had heard voices at the time and had not returned to the inn.

Otherwise, if the enemy is in the dark while we are in the light, and we are suddenly attacked, it could be very bad.

Once the Crocodile God of the South China Sea had gone far away, Feng Bo'e was quite tempted.

At this moment, besides Doctor Xue, only Ha Daba and Island Master Qu remained in the temple.

He knew that if the Crocodile God of the South Sea went to the inn and couldn't find anyone, he would definitely turn back immediately.

If all four of them are present, rescuing them will be difficult.

Feng Bo'e was always impatient, and seeing that the two men were skilled in martial arts, he was already itching to get his hands on them.

He left with only one sentence: "Brother, I'll use my light-footed skills to lure those two away, you seize the opportunity to rescue them!"

Before he finished speaking, he flashed into the dilapidated temple.

Two sharp clangs were heard, indicating that they had already exchanged blows.

In the blink of an eye, three figures, one in front and two behind, flew out of the temple and rushed into the depths of the forest.

Xie had no choice but to act according to the situation, leaping down from the tree and into the temple.

Doctor Xue was already astonished when he saw Feng Bo'e come and go so suddenly.

Then another person burst in, which was both surprising and delightful.

His hands and feet were bound by soft silk ropes, making it difficult for him to move.

Xie should draw his sword right now.

The sword was sharp, but the soft silk rope was made of a peculiar material. Even with a sharp blade in hand, it took three strikes to finally cut the rope completely.

He glanced at the soft rope on the ground, his heart aching: "What a waste of such a good thing."

With the rope snapped, the two quickly ran away.

Doctor Xue pointed to the back window of the dilapidated temple: "There is a small path behind the mountain. I have walked it before. Go from here."

Xie nodded, then pushed open the window. Suddenly, an idea struck him. He stepped on the windowsill and pulled Doctor Xue behind the statue.

Doctor Xue asked anxiously, "Young hero, why have you stopped?"

As soon as he spoke, Xie Buruo covered his mouth.

Almost simultaneously, a gust of wind swept into the temple.

The island lord returned, found the temple empty, and stamped his foot angrily, saying, "Damn it, it really was a diversionary tactic!"

He noticed the back window was open, and a footprint was visible on the dusty windowsill. His anger flared: "Do they think they can escape?!"

He swayed and floated out of the window, quickly chasing after him.

Physician Xue whispered, "Fortunately, young hero, you were cautious. Alas, if my acupoints weren't restricted and my internal energy not locked, what would I have to fear from these two unorthodox methods!"

Although he said that, Xie Buruo didn't have time to massage his acupoints at the moment.

As soon as the island lord disappeared, Xie Buruo pulled Doctor Xue and prepared to leave.

A sudden thought struck Doctor Xue, and he stopped in his tracks: "Could this be a ploy to lure the snake out of its hole?"

Xie quickly pulled him away, saying as they walked, "This dilapidated temple is so small, there aren't many places to hide. If he suspects we're still in the temple, he can find us in no time. There's no need for us to go through all this trouble."

Doctor Xue nodded repeatedly, "Young hero, you are right. Let's go quickly!"

The two went out of the gate and ran into the woods.

After taking only two steps, Xie Bu Ruo stopped again, pulled Doctor Xue to his side, and lay down in the tall grass.

Physician Xue was anxious: "Young hero, this place is dangerous, why don't you leave immediately!"

Xie Buruo simply shook his head, signaling him to be quiet.

In just a moment, a loud rumbling noise erupted in the temple, as if someone was smashing and beating things up.

With a flash of a figure, the island lord of that area indeed emerged from the temple again.

He must have realized he had fallen into a trap after chasing along the path behind the mountain and not finding anyone.

His eyes hardened, and he ran off quickly.

Although his movements were not as swift as Feng Bo'e's, they were not far off.

As it swept past the tall grass where Xie Buruo and Doctor Xue were hiding, it stirred up a gust of wind.

Once the island lord had gone far away, Xie Buruo stood up and led Doctor Xue around the dilapidated temple, disappearing through a side path.

Xie Buruo swung his sword and cut through the thorns on the path, and the two walked quickly.

On the way, Xie Bu Ruo followed Doctor Xue's instructions to push his blood through his veins and remove the restriction.

Having escaped unharmed, Doctor Xue felt as if he had returned from another world, filled with both joy and wonder: "Young hero, how did you foresee that the man surnamed Qu would return?"

Xie Buruo replied, "Fourth Brother Feng Bo, who came with me to rescue the divine physician, is not weak in martial arts and has excellent lightness skills."

Doctor Xue nodded and said, "So it was Jiangnan Guzhenfeng. No wonder his lightness skill is so amazing. I didn't even get a clear look at his face before he was gone."

Xie Buruo continued, "Since that person surnamed Qu saw through the trick of luring the tiger away from the mountain, he would naturally guess that my lightness skill and martial arts are inferior to those of Brother Feng Si."

"If one's martial arts skills are high enough, there's no need to use the 'luring the tiger away from the mountain' tactic. Two people can launch a sneak attack at the same time and kill one of them first, which is less risky than 'luring the tiger away from the mountain'."

Xie Bu Ruo pointed his longsword at the thorns on the road.

"That guy surnamed Qu has excellent lightness skills. After chasing us along the path for a while, he couldn't see any people and the thorns on the ground were undamaged, so he naturally guessed that we didn't come from the path, but instead fled into the forest."

Although Doctor Xue is a senior figure in the martial arts world and his methods of using poison are quite sophisticated, he is not very experienced in the martial arts world.

All because of his extraordinary medical skills, he was respected by everyone in the martial arts world, regardless of whether they were righteous or evil.

The people he encountered ranged from Shaolin monks to peddlers and laborers. In order to potentially seek his medical help in the future, they would often flatter and fawn over him.

As a result, he never suffered any losses while traveling in the martial arts world.

Upon hearing Xie Buruo's words, Doctor Xue was overjoyed.

"Excellent, excellent. The woods are vast, and the faster the Qu family runs and the more urgently they chase, the farther away they get from us, and the safer we become."

As soon as the words were spoken, a hoarse voice came from the darkness.

"That's not necessarily true!"

A figure, as light as a drifting cloud or falling snowflake, landed gently in front of Xie Buruo and his companion.

The man was dressed in white, around forty years old, and was neither Qu nor Ha.

Island Master Yun looked at Xie Buruo and said calmly.

"You can fool Island Master Qu, but you can't fool me, Yun."
