Xiao Feng escaped hazard by a hair breath, and he secretly cried out: “Disgrace!” The primary thought that got here to his thoughts was: “This evil vamp actually has a vicious coronary heart, she truly make use of this sneaky trick in opposition to me.” The hidden weapons from XingXiu Sect is extraordinarily highly effective and sinister to the acute, in the event you obtained shot by their weapons, the possibilities of survival is minimal…and his coronary heart shivered when he considered it.

Nevertheless, after seeing AhZi despatched crashing over ten toes by his palm, he was in shock: “Oh no, how can she stand up to my palm strike? I’m afraid I killed her!” His physique flashed and he was by her facet, solely to see her eyes closed, two stream of blood stream from the nook of her lip. Her face was akin to gold paper, she stopped respiratory for actual this time!

Xiao Feng was shocked, he thought: “I killed her once more, I killed AhZhu’s sister. She…she implored me to care for her sister on her deathbed, however … however … I killed her!” This shock ought to solely have lasted for a second, however he was in a trace-like state, and it looks as if an eternity to him. He shook his head, shortly positioned his palm on AhZi again, and desperately channelled his inside vitality into her. After some time, AhZi moved barely. Xiao Feng was overjoyed and exclaimed: “AhZi, AhZi, do not die. I’ll do no matter it takes to save lots of you!”

However AhZi solely ever transfer so barely, and she or he stopped transferring once more. Xiao Feng was extraordinarily anxious, instantly he crossed his legs and sat on the snow, he lifted AhZi gently and positioned her in entrance of him, urgent each his palms on her vest, he slowly channelled his inside vitality into her physique. He is aware of that AhZi damage’s was extreme, for the time being he can solely hold her respiratory, and cease her from dying quickly, and so the vitality needed to be channelled slowly. After a while, traces of white smoke emerged from his head, and he’s exerting himself totally.

After constantly channelling his vitality for half hour, AhZi physique moved barely, she referred to as out softly: “Brother-in-law!” Xiao Feng was overjoyed, however he continued to channel his vitality and didn’t communicate to her. Her physique warmed up steadily, and her faint respiratory may be detected. Xiao Feng feared his effort would possibly go to waste, and he didn’t cease his supply of inside vitality, solely when it reaches midday, when AhZi was respiratory uniformly once more, did he carried her and trotted off shortly, nevertheless he discovered that her face didn’t have the slightest little bit of color.

He opened up his step, transferring quick but steady, his left hand nonetheless urgent on AhZi’s vest, as he constantly channelled his inside vitality into her. After strolling for a very long time, he reached a small city, however there was no inn within the city. There was no selection and he may solely journey additional north, after dashing for over 20 li, did he discovered a humble inn. This inn didn’t have a waiter and was managed solely by its proprietor. Xiao Feng ask the proprietor to fetch a bowl of scorching soup, and utilizing a spoon, he slowly fed it into AhZi mouth. However she solely drank three mouthfuls earlier than vomiting every part out, the soup laced together with her recent blood.

Xiao Feng was extraordinarily anxious, and he thought that AhZi’s damage would probably be incurable, the battle between Hades and Divine Doctor Xue was unknown, even when he had Divine Doctor Xue by his facet proper now, he won’t be capable of treatment her. When AhZhu was injured by Shaolin Temple’s Head abbot, though he didn’t undergo the palm, the expertise was no much less thrilling, solely by making use of the paranormal ointment from Taihang Mountain’s Elder Tan, and receiving remedy from the Divine Doctor, was her life preserved. Though he knew that he couldn’t hope to protect AhZi’s life, he refused to provide in, and thought: “Even when I tire myself to the acute, and deplete all my inside vitality, I need to protect her life to the very finish. I’m not doing this for AhZi’s sake, however to reside as much as AhZhu’s exhortations.”

He knew that AhZi plotted in opposition to him earlier, and if he didn’t retaliate along with his palm, he would have died by her fingers. He had extraordinarily excessive martial arts, and within the occasion of hazard, he’ll instinctively strike out to neutralize the hazard. He was compelled to wound AhZi, even when AhZhu was current, she’s going to by no means utter the slightest little bit of blame, as AhZi created this mess and there was nothing an outsider may do. Nonetheless, since AhZhu didn’t learn about this, Xiao Feng couldn’t assist however really feel that he let her down.

He didn’t sleep a wink that night time, till the subsequent day, he was constantly utilizing his inside vitality to maintain AhZi’s life. The day AhZhu was wounded, Xiao Feng solely despatched out his vitality when he felt her breath weaken. Nevertheless, at the moment, his palm was inseparable from AhZi, else her respiratory will stop instantly.

The second night time was precisely the identical state of affairs. Though Xiao Feng had robust inside vitality, however after two-day and two-night of channelling, he’s extraordinarily drained. The 2 pot of wine saved within the inn had been emptied, and he needed the proprietor to exit and purchase extra of it, however he didn’t carry a lot silvers with him. It didn’t matter if he didn’t eat for a day, nevertheless he shall be depress if he didn’t get to drink wine, he was getting bodily and mentally exhausted, and he hope to make use of the wine to perk up, he thought: “AhZi should have carried some cash on her.”

Untying her garments’ bag, he noticed three small gold ingots and some damaged silvers. He took a silver, tie up the garments’ bag, and noticed a purple ribbon connecting the bag to her waist. Xiao Feng thought: “This little woman could be very cautious, she feared dropping her dress bag. Nevertheless, with all these stuff connecting to her, it may be very uncomfortable.” he attain out and untied the ribbon from her waist. The ribbon was properly tied and requires one hand. With a lot effort, the ribbon was untied and upon tugging, he felt an object linked to the opposite finish of the ribbon. Nevertheless, the article was hidden in her skirt.

He let go of the ribbon, there was a “Pai” sound, and one thing fell out – it was just a little yellow wood tripod.

Xiao Feng sighed, bent over to choose it up and place it on the desk. The carvings on the wood tripod had been extraordinarily meticulous, the wooden high quality was akin to polished jade, and purple threads appear to be ingrained into the wooden texture. Xiao Feng knew this object was used to follow the “Nice Power Dissolving Ability” of the XingXiu Sect, he was disgusted and ignored the article after giving it two glances, he thought: “This little woman is actually crafty, she stored saying that this Divine Wood King Tripod had been handed to me, however she stored it hidden in her skirt. Firstly, she knew that her sect members would consider that I took it, secondly, it isn’t handy to look her skirt, and ultimately nobody detected it. Sigh, she will be able to hardly reside proper now, what’s the usage of such object?”

He summoned the inn proprietor, ordered him to take the silver to purchase wine and meat, and continued to make use of his inside vitality to maintain AhZi alive.

By the morning of the fourth day, he actually can not take it anymore, gripping AhZi’s palm with each fingers, cradling her in his bosom, he channelled the vitality by way of her palm, and after some time, he can now not hold his eyes open and he lastly drifted asleep. However he’s continually interested by AhZi’s life and loss of life, and after a brief nap, he snapped awake, luckily whereas he fell asleep, his vitality was flowing constantly into her, so long as their palm stay linked, her respiratory won’t cease.

This went on for one more two days, though her breath will be maintained, her accidents didn’t have the slightest little bit of enchancment, and they also must hold staying on this small inn, so how can this drawback be resolved? AhZi sometimes opened her eyes, her gaze hazy and lifeless, an clearly signal that she remains to be unconscious, and naturally she is in no situation to talk. Xiao Feng thought exhausting however couldn’t provide you with any concept, he thought: “I can solely carry her and proceed travelling, attempt our luck alongside the best way, I can not keep on this inn and endure to no avail.”

He hugged AhZi along with his left hand, his proper hand took her garments’ bag and held it in his chest, seeing the wood tripod on the desk, he contemplated: “Such a dangerous object, it could be higher to destroy it!” As he was about to strike along with his palm, one other thought got here to him: “AhZi braved numerous hardships to accumulate this object. Seeing her damage is incurable. On her deathbed, I’ll take it out and let her look at it, in order that she could die in peace of thoughts, somewhat than having a gnawing remorse until the tip.”

He attain out for the wood tripod, as soon as in his hand, he really feel one thing squirm and transfer contained in the tripod, feeling extraordinarily curious, he examined the tripod, there are 5 coins-sized holes by the perimeters, the neck of the tripod had a high quality slit, and it appears to divide into two part. Utilizing his pinky and ring finger to grip the tripod’s physique, the thumb and center finger to grip the higher part of the wooden tripod and giving it a left flip, the part will be spun. After turning just a few rounds, the tripod’s cowl opened, peering into the inside, he can not assist however be shocked, and considerably nausea, there are two toxic bugs gnawing at one another, one scorpion, and the opposite a centipede, the bugs had been rolling round and duelling fiercely.

A number of days in the past, the tripod was positioned on the desk and there have been no toxic bugs, naturally the centipede and scorpion got here shortly after and climb into the tripod. Xiao Feng knew that this was XingXiu Sect bizarre method in amassing toxic bugs and creatures, tipping the tripod, the centipede and scorpion fell to the bottom, he step on the bugs and killed them, substitute the lid on the tripod and stored it within the garments’ bag. After settling his payments, he hugged AhZi, operating in opposition to the wind and snow he travelled northward.

His feud with the heroes of Central Plains was deep, however he didn’t considered disguising himself, as he travelled north, he obtained nearer and nearer to Track Dynasty capital of Kaifeng, it was inevitable that he would meet with martial artists from central plains, firstly he didn’t want to kill them out of resentment, secondly he was carrying AhZi and it was not handy to combat with them, thus he averted the primary street and selected desolate mountain routes. After travelling for just a few hundred li, he was nonetheless secure and sound.

On this present day, he reached a city, he noticed a pharmacy with a wood plaque “Generational Confucian Docs Offering Remedy For Kings”, he questioned: “There will not be any well-known physician on this small city, however there isn’t any hurt in searching for analysis.” Thus, holding onto AhZi, he entered to hunt medical remedy. That Confucian physician took AhZi’s pulse, look at Xiao Feng, took AhZi’s pulse once more, look at Xiao Feng once more, the look on his face was unusual, all of the sudden he stretched out a finger to take Xiao Feng pulse.

Xiao Feng was angered and stated: “Physician, the session is for my sister’s sickness, I’m not searching for remedy” the physician shook his head and stated: “I feel it’s possible you’ll be sick, distraught and confused, you’re in want of some medical remedy.” Xiao Feng stated: “I’m distraught and confused?” The physician replied:” The woman pulse had stopped, she is useless, however the physique had not but stiff. You might be searching for what sort of remedy for her? Aren’t you distraught and confused? Buddy, the useless can’t be revived, you can’t be too unhappy, take your sister’s physique and shortly bury her, let her relaxation peacefully.”

Xiao Feng didn’t know whether or not to chuckle or cry, however the physician’s phrases weren’t utterly unreasonable, AhZi is certainly useless, however she is completely reliant on his inside vitality to keep up her probability of survival, how would a standard physician perceive this? He stood up and turned in the direction of the door.

A housekeeper hurriedly tripped into the pharmacy and shouted: “Fast, fast, I need the most effective previous mountain ginseng. Our venerable grasp all of the sudden suffered a stroke, his on his final breath; he wants the ginseng to hold on to his life.” The pharmacy shopkeeper stated: “Sure, Sure! We now have the most effective previous mountain ginseng.”

Xiao Feng listened to the phrases “Outdated mountain ginseng, dangle onto life” directly he remembered, as an individual was on his final breath, in the event you feed him just a few mouthfuls of ginseng broth, he’ll be capable of dangle on and reside for just a few extra moments, lengthy sufficient for him to say his final phrases, however he didn’t know he may additionally apply it to AhZi. The proprietor took out a purple wood field, rigorously pushing open the quilt, revealing three finger-thick ginsengs. Xiao Feng heard folks say, the thicker the ginseng the higher; the deeper the wrinkle on the pores and skin, the extra invaluable, whether it is formed like an individual, head, hand and foot all intact, then is of the best high quality that come as soon as in a blue moon. The three ginseng appears to be widespread object, not one thing outstanding. The housekeeper plucks certainly one of them and hurried away shortly.

Xiao Feng took out one gold ingot and purchased the remaining two ginsengs. The pharmacy has utensils for brewing medication; the ginseng broth was brewed instantly, and slowly fed to AhZi. This time spherical, she didn’t vomit. After feeding just a few extra mouthfuls, Xiao Feng observed her pulse strengthen barely, and her respiratory appears just a little smoother, and he couldn’t assist however really feel delighted.

That Confucian physician was watching on the sides, however shook his head repeatedly and stated: “Buddy, this ginseng was not acquired simply; it is a pity that it’s wasted. The ginseng is just not a fungus of immortality; if it might revive the useless, then wealthy folks won’t ever die!”

For the previous few days Xiao Feng couldn’t depart AhZi for the slightest second, he was bored and vexed, listening to the limitless nagging from the physician, the chilly snide remarks, he couldn’t assist however really feel his anger rising, he needed to strike out along with his palm, however as his arm moved barely, he instantly restrained himself: “Randomly attacking an individual with out martial arts, can one be thought of an honourable hero?” He promptly stayed his hand, picked up AhZi and rushed out of the pharmacy, he heard the physician nonetheless sneering: “This man is actually confused, operating round with a useless particular person, it appears that evidently he won’t reside for lengthy!” This physician didn’t know that he had simply got here again from the gates of hell, if Xiao Feng had struck out in his match of rage, even when ten imperial physician was round, they will be unable to save lots of him.

As soon as out of the pharmacy, Xiao Feng questioned: “There is a saying that previous mountain ginseng is produced within the Changbai Mountains alongside the bitter chilly of the land, I ought to attempt my luck there. Though to revive AhZi is an especially troublesome job, however so long as I could make her reside for an additional day, AhZhu’s spirit shall be gratified.”

Turning to the fitting, he headed on the north-east path. As he encountered pharmacy alongside the best way, he went in to purchase the ginseng, and when he ran out of gold and silver, he simply strode in and seize the ginseng, how may just a few pharmacies’s attendants hope to cease him? After consuming great amount of ginseng, AhZi may sometimes opened her eyes, and gently cry out: “Brother-in-law!” In the course of the night time, even when he didn’t transmit his inside vitality into her for just a few hours, she may nonetheless stick with it respiratory on her personal.

Because the climate steadily grew chilly, Xiao Feng holding onto to AhZi, lastly reached the Changbai Mountain, though the Changbai Mountain produces appreciable quantity of ginseng, but when one is just not aware of the terrain and the ginseng harvesting artwork, even when they seek for years, they may not discover even one ginseng. As Xiao Feng continued travelling north, travellers steadily skinny out, ultimately, all he may see was forest and tall grass, snow piled excessive as slope; he didn’t see a single soul round for just a few days. He couldn’t assist however secretly cry out: “Oh no! Oh no! There may be snow all over the place, however learn how to dig the ginseng? I ought to return to locations the place ginseng is offered, if I’ve cash I’ll purchase it, else I’ll simply rob.” So, holding on to AhZi, he begins trekking again once more.

At the moment the climate was freezing, and snow gathered a number of toes off the bottom, it was extraordinarily troublesome to journey, if not for his unsurpassed martial arts, as one travels whereas carrying one other particular person, even when they do not freeze to loss of life, they are going to get trapped within the snow and be unable to free themselves.

In the course of the third day, the sky grew to become gloomy, and it appears that evidently a blizzard will strike quickly, as he observe the environment, he was surrounded by white snow, to not talked about that there isn’t any signal of footprint, there may be additionally no signal of footprints of untamed beast. Xiao Feng was at a loss, it was as if he was surrounded by boundless sea. The sound of wind was sharp, and it got here whistling in his ears.

Xiao Feng knew he was misplaced, he leap a number of occasions up the bushes and go searching, his surrounding is stuffed with snow lined forest, how can he decide his bearings? Afraid that AhZi would possibly catch a chilly; he undid his gown and wrapped her in his bosom. Though he had by no means been afraid of something, however on this huge environment, it appears that he’s the one one left on this planet and he can not assist however really feel frightened. Even when he was the one one left on this world it could not hassle him, the world possibly huge however it can not lure him, nevertheless in his arm he’s carrying an unconscious, half-dead AhZi!

He didn’t eat for 3 consecutive days now, and he needed to hunt a rooster or wild hare, however he couldn’t see the slightest shadow round, he questioned: “I am unable to escape by dashing round randomly, I ought to relaxation an evening within the forest, as soon as the storm settle, the moon and stars shall be seen and I will determine the right path.” He discovered a shelter within the forest, gathered some dried branches, and set a hearth. As the hearth burned brightly, he felt the heat in his physique. His stomach growl from starvation, seeing some fungus rising on the roots of a tree, grey colored and seemingly non-toxic, he bake them over the hearth and ate it to alleviate his starvation.

After consuming over 20 fungus, he felt extra energetic, he supported AhZi on his bosom to heat her with the hearth, as he was about to shut his eyes and go to sleep, he heard a fierce and loud hooting shout, however it’s truly the roar of a tiger. Xiao Feng was overjoyed: “A big worm has arrived on the doorstep; we will eat tiger meat now!” He strained his ear and heard two tigers dashing on the snow lined floor, however he instantly heard somebody calling out, it appears that evidently somebody is chasing the tigers.

After listening to the shout of individuals, he was overjoyed, he heard the 2 tigers dashing westward, instantly he lay AhZi gently by the hearth, utilizing his lightness martial arts, he pursued them on the slanting street. At present it was snowing closely, the northern wind blows strongly, churning and filling the sky with snow.

After dashing over ten li, he noticed two brightly-coloured tigers got here roaring, adopted intently by a big man carrying a beast-hide and carrying a big iron fork. The 2 tigers had been large, after operating for some time, one of many tiger rotated, roared and rushed in the direction of the hunter. That man readied his tiger-hunting-fork, aimed and attacked the tiger’s throat. The tiger’s motion was nimble, with a blink of an eye fixed, it averted the fork, and the second tiger additionally sprang in the direction of the hunter.

The hunter’s response was extraordinarily quick; he reversed the fork and with a “Pai” sound, hit the tiger’s waist with the fork’s deal with. The tiger roar out in ache, hanging out its tail, it flip round and ran. The opposite tiger didn’t need to combat anymore and adopted swimsuit. Xiao Feng noticed the hunter was vigorous and skilful, had robust muscular power, however it appear that he didn’t know any martial arts, solely that he was aware of the habits of untamed animal, when the tiger was about to assault, he directed the fork on the tiger’s very important spot, anticipating the motion of the enemy, however it won’t be straightforward to kill two tigers with that one stroke.

Xiao Feng shouted: “Brother, I’ll allow you to hunt the tiger.” He rushed out and blocked the trail of the 2 tigers. Seeing Xiao Feng rushed out all of the sudden, the hunter was shocked, he cheered and shouted loudly, however he was not talking the language of Han folks. Xiao Feng didn’t perceive what he was saying, and he ignored it for the second, he lifted his proper hand, aimed and strike the brow of the primary tiger, with a “Bang” sound, the tiger somersaulted and fell down, and with a thundering roar, it pounced in the direction of Xiao Feng once more.

Xiao Feng used 70% of his energy in that earlier palm strike, even for excellent martial artists, their mind will burst instantly in the event that they obtained that strike, however the tiger’s head was robust and its bones had been thick, this as soon as in a century rock-shattering palm strike solely made the tiger somersaulted when struck on the pinnacle, and it even recovered and pounced again instantly. Xiao Feng praised: “Good chap, hats off to you!” he turned sideways, his proper hand slating from top-to-bottom, and with a “Ca” sound, he chopped in the direction of the tiger’s waist. With this chop, he added one other 10% of his energy, because the tiger rush ahead just a few steps, its footsteps faltered, it knew that it would die and tried to flee desperately. Xiao Feng transfer ahead two-step, with a maintain from his proper hand, he caught the tiger’s tail, with a loud shout, his left hand additionally grip the tiger’s tail, and along with his finest effort, he strained each his fingers and pulled again, the tiger was spontaneously dashing ahead, however due to this pull, the 2 forces collide and the tiger flew into mid-air.

The hunter armed along with his fork, was at the moment combating fiercely with the second tiger, all of the sudden seeing Xiao Feng fling the tiger into mid-air, he was shock to the acute. The tiger opened its huge mouth in mid-air, stretched out it claws, and descended. Xiao Feng gave a grunt, and push out with each his palm, there was a muffled bang, because it landed on the tiger’s stomach. The tiger’s stomach is its delicate spot, and this transfer “Twin Palm Parting Cloud” is certainly one of Xiao Feng’s proudest transfer, the tiger’s 5 inside organs was shattered, after rolling round for some time, it fell down on the snow and died.

The hunter admired Xiao Feng from the underside of his coronary heart, killing a tiger empty handed, he has an iron fork, if he cannot even kill the tiger he’s combating, will not he be underestimated? Instantly he jab his fork left, jab his fork proper, and rained jab after jab on the tiger’s physique. The tiger suffered quite a few jabs, and have become much more enraged, revealing a dense row of white tooth, it pounced in the direction of the hunter.

The hunter dodged sideways, thrusting his iron fork, and with a “Pu” sound, buried it into the tiger’s brow, lifting up with each fingers, the tiger gave a depressing howl and collapsed onto the bottom. Exerting his power in each arms, the hunter firmly nails the tiger onto the snow lined floor. However a “Ke-La-La” sound was heard, the again of his higher physique clothes cut up, exposing his naked again, the muscle mass had been well-built, and he regarded very imposing. Xiao Feng noticed him and secretly praised: “Good man!” the tiger’s stomach was going through the sky, its 4 paws scratching and clawing randomly, after some time, it stopped transferring altogether.

The hunter raised his fork, laughed, rotated, gave Xiao Feng the thumbs-up, and stated just a few phrases. Xiao Feng didn’t perceive his phrases, however judging from his expression, he knew that the hunter was praising him as a tremendous hero, and so he copied the hunter, giving two thumbs-up, he stated: “Hero! Hero!”

The person was overjoyed, pointing to his nostril tip, he stated: “WanYan AguDa!” Xiao Feng knew this was his title and thus he additionally pointed to the tip of his nostril and stated: “Xiao Feng!” the person replied: “Xiao Feng? Khitan?” Xiao Feng nodded, and stated: “Khitan! You?” he stretches out his finger in inquiry. The person replied: “WanYan AguDa! Jurchen!”

Xiao Feng knew that to the east of Liao Empire, north of Korea, there’s a tribe referred to as the Jurchen, the tribe was courageous and skilful in battle, and so WanYan AguDa got here from this Jurchen tribe. Though language was a barrier, however to fulfill a companion on this huge snow sea, Xiao Feng is of course glad, he began gesturing, signalling that he have one other companion, lifting the useless tiger, he walked to the place AhZi is mendacity. Dragging his useless tiger, AguDa comply with swimsuit.

The tiger simply died and its blood haven’t but coagulated, Xiao Feng put down the tiger, minimize open its throat, and poured the tiger’s blood into AhZi’s mouth. AhZi open her mouth and is ready to swallow the tiger’s blood, solely after consuming round ten mouthfuls did she cease. Xiao Feng was extraordinarily glad, he tore off two units of tiger’s leg, and began roasting them over the hearth. AguDa noticed him bare-handed tearing of the tiger’s physique, as if he was tearing a cooked rooster, such hand-strength has by no means been seen earlier than, and is totally unprecedented, he stared at Xiao Feng’s fingers blankly, and after some time, he stretch out his palm to softly stroke Xiao Feng’s wrist and arm, his face crammed with upmost admiration.

After the tiger meat was grilled, Xiao Feng and AguDa eat their fill. AguDa gestured and requested about his intentions, Xiao Feng gestured that’s digging ginseng for AhZi medical remedy, and he ultimately obtained misplaced. AguDa laughed, and with a burst of gestures, stated that ginseng is straightforward to accumulate, so long as Xiao Feng comply with him, he can have any quantity of ginseng. Xiao Feng was overjoyed, stood up, picked up AhZi along with his left hand, and his proper hand-held up the useless tiger. AguDa gave a thumb-up and praised: “Nice power!”

AguDa know this space and was very aware of the terrain, he won’t get misplaced even on this heavy blizzard. They walked for 2 days, within the afternoon of the third day; Xiao Feng noticed many footprints within the snow. AguDa gestured in succession, saying that they’re nearing the tribe. Positive sufficient, after crossing two hill-depressions, he noticed a dense mass of pores and skin tents on the slope of the south-east mountain. AguDa whistled along with his mouth, and somebody got here out of the tent to welcome him.

As Xiao Feng approached with AguDa, he noticed a campfire on the entrance of each tent unit, the campfire was surrounded by ladies, they had been mending beast skins and pickling beast meat. AguDa led Xiao Feng to the most important tent within the center; he raised the curtain and entered. Xiao Feng adopted. The tent had greater than ten folks sitting round, consuming merrily, upon seeing AguDa, the gang cheered. AguDa, pointing to Xiao Feng, gestured and narrated, Xiao Feng watched his expression and knew that he was narrating how he killed a tiger empty-handed. The group gathered round Xiao Feng, gave thumb-ups, and reward him.

Because the ambiance was getting rowdy, a Han salesman promoting cosmetics walked over, and stated to Xiao Feng: “Sir, are you aware Han language?”

Xiao Feng fortunately replied: “I do know. I do know.”

Asking in regards to the state of affairs, he discovered that this was the tent of the Jurchen’s chief. The black-bearded previous man in the course of the gang is the tribe’s chief HeLiBu. He has eleven sons; all of them are competent heroes. AguDa is his second son. This Han salesman is known as Xu Zhuocheng, and he comes right here each winter to replenish on ginsengs, beast furs, and he solely leaves throughout the starting of spring. Xu Zhuocheng knew the language of the Jurchen, and he grew to become Xiao Feng’s interpreter. The Jurchen and Khitan are at conflict with one another, however they at all times admired good heroes. WanYan AguDa is clever and skilful, and he has the adoration of his father and fellow tribesmen, and he stored on praising Xiao Feng endlessly, thus the tribesmen didn’t bear any grudge in opposition to Xiao Feng though he’s a Khitan, and so they handled Xiao Feng as an honoured visitor.

AguDa gave up his personal tent for Xiao Feng and AhZi. Xiao Feng tried to say no his good intentions, however AguDa insisted, seeing his sincerity Xiao Feng ultimately accepted and lived within the tent. The Jurchen tribe held a big feast to welcome Xiao Feng, the meat of the 2 tigers additionally grew to become the delicacy of the feast. Xiao Feng didn’t drink wine for over half a month now, as quite a few luggage of Jurchen’s wine was taken out, Xiao Feng drank luggage after luggage of wine, and he was completely unrestrained. The Jurchen’s wine is spicy, the style is extraordinarily robust, the alcohol content material is fierce, atypical folks shall be drunk by consuming half a bag, Xiao Feng drank properly over ten luggage, and his complexion didn’t modified in any respect. The Jurchen tribe measures a real hero by his wine tolerance, the gang didn’t see with their very own eyes how Xiao Feng killed a tiger bare-handed, however such consuming prowess, even ten Jurchen warrior can not hope to match, naturally everybody was in awe.

Xu Zhuocheng noticed that Xiao Feng was well-respected, and he was flattering in the direction of him. Xiao Feng had nothing to do whereas staying within the tent, thus he adopted AguDa and went searching throughout the day, at night time, he adopted Xu Zhuocheng and discovered Jurchen’s language. When he learnt 40-50% of the language, he thought: He’s a Khitan however he can not communicate Khitan’s language and this appeared unreasonable, and thus he additionally discovered Khitan’s language. Xu Zhuocheng had travelled around the globe, be it Khitan, Western Xia, or Jurchen, he can communicate their language fluently. Xiao Feng was not gifted in studying language, however Jurchen and Khitan language had been related and simply comparable, after a protracted time frame, he may convey his intention accurately, and now not require an interpreter.

After just a few months, spring got here, AhZi devour ginseng on daily basis, and her damage had some important enchancment. The ginsengs dug out by the Jurchen tribesmen are uncommon and of the best high quality, they’re much more invaluable than actual gold. Each time Xiao Feng went searching, he’ll be capable of hunt numerous wild animals, and harvest some ginseng for AhZi to eat. Even for rich household, if their younger miss eat ginseng on daily basis, the household will likely go broke. Each day, Xiao Feng will nonetheless use his inside vitality to assist regulate her respiratory, nevertheless he solely must do it a couple of times – an enormous enchancment from earlier state of affairs the place his palm was inseparable from her physique. Generally, with a lot effort, AhZi can communicate just a few phrases, nevertheless her 4 limbs remains to be weak and she or he is unable to maneuver, all her each day wants and requirements had been taken care of by Xiao Feng. Aware of AhZhu’s devotion, Xiao Feng willingly commit to those duties, the extra he are likely to AhZi, the extra he really feel that he fulfilled AhZhu’s want, and he felt gratified from the underside of his coronary heart.

On this present day, AguDa led a dozen tribesmen to the North Mountains to hunt bears, and he invited Xiao Feng to accompany him, he stated: “The bear has thick fur, plenty of grease, its paw scrumptious, and the bear’s gall is extraordinarily efficient in treating accidents.” Xiao Feng noticed that AhZi was in a lot better form, and so he may go searching with out worries, and he gladly joined the searching get together. Earlier than the solar had risen, the get together headed off in the direction of north.

Truly, it was early summer time now, the snow had melted, the bottom is muddy and the forest is crammed with rotten branches and leaves, it is extraordinarily exhausting to journey, however the Jurchens had been nimble, and will nonetheless journey quick. Until midday, an previous hunter referred to as out: “Bear! Bear!” All people look to the path he was pointing, there was an enormous footprint within the distant mud floor, not removed from the footprint, is the bear foot observe. Everybody was excited, and so they comply with the foot observe and began chasing.

The bear footprint was a number of inches deep within the mud, even a toddler may observe it simply; everybody was cheering loudly and moved ahead shortly.

The footprints go all the best way west and ultimately left the muddy forest, to a grass plain, the gang moved even sooner on the plain.

As they had been dashing ahead, they all of the sudden hear the sound of horns, dust was rising on the entrance, and a big troop of individuals had been galloping over. They noticed an enormous black bear flip and ran, 80 to 70 folks on excessive horses had been chasing behind, cheering, and a few of them had been armed with spears, whereas some others had bow and arrow, their expressions courageous and fierce.

AguDa cried out: “Khitan folks! They’ve extra males, retreat! Retreat!” Xiao Feng knew that it was his personal tribesmen, and he had an intimate feeling in his coronary heart, seeing AguDa operating away, he didn’t transfer in any respect, stood there and tried to watch the state of affairs.

The Khitan folks cried out: “Jurchen barbarians! Shoot them! Shoot them!” there was a “SouSou” sound and limitless arrows had been shot in the direction of them.

Xiao Feng was irritated: “Why did they shoot for no purpose upon assembly one another, they do not even attempt to make clear the state of affairs.” He attain out his hand and pluck the few arrows that was shot in the direction of him. However an “Ah” sound was heard, the previous Jurchen hunter scream as he was shot within the again, he collapse and died.

AguDa rallied his males to a slope, proning on the bottom, drawing their bow and arrows, they shot down two Khitans. In the meantime, Xiao Feng didn’t know which facet he ought to assist.

The arrows shot by the Khitans had been all smack down by him, and so they shouted: “What?” they didn’t say something extra and began killing folks! AguDa shouted from the slope: “Xiao Feng, Xiao Feng, come right here they have no idea you’re a Khitan!”

At this second, two Khitan armed with lengthy spears, had been using horses and charging in the direction of Xiao Feng, the 2 spears had been raised and thrust in the direction of his left and proper.

Xiao Feng didn’t want to hurt his personal tribesmen, he seized the spears with every of his fingers and with a delicate flick, the 2 Khitan dismounted from their horses. Xiao Feng lifted each males with the spear’s shaft and toss them. The 2 males gave an “Ah Ah” cry in mid-air, they flew again to their unique place, fell down on the bottom and took fairly some time earlier than climbing again up once more. AguDa and the Jurchen tribesmen applauded loudly.

Among the many Khitan troop, a purple robed middle-aged man cried out loudly, giving instructions. A number of dozen Khitans unfold out into two wings, and so they got here flanking, reducing off AguDa’s escape route. The purple robed man remains to be surrounded by 10 folks.

AguDa noticed that the state of affairs was disadvantageous, with a loud roar, he sign his tribesmen and Xiao Feng to flee. The Khitans had been raining arrows at them and so they shot down just a few extra Jurchen tribesmen. With their bow and crossbow, the Jurchen hunter additionally shot down 10 Khitan riders immediately, however they had been too closely outnumbered and will solely shoot and run.

Xiao Feng noticed that the Khitans had been unreasonable, though it’s his personal folks, he can not take care of them at this second, he grabbed a bow, and “Sou Sou Sou Sou”, fired 4 arrows in succession, every of the arrows hit the Khitan on their shoulder or their foot, 4 Khitan fell off their horses, however nobody died.

The purple robed man gave just a few cry, and the Khitans got here charging with the horses, valiant and robust to the acute.

Xiao Feng noticed that from the unique searching get together, solely AguDa and 5 youth survived, they’re nonetheless operating and taking pictures, the remainder of the tribesmen have been shot useless by the Khitans.

There may be nowhere to cover on this nice grass plain, if the combating continues, even AguDa shall be killed. Throughout all these occasions, the Jurchen handled him like a distinguished visitor, if he cannot defend his associates in occasions of hazard, how can he nonetheless be thought of an honourable hero?

If he go on a killing spree, he may slaughter the Khitan till they resolve to retreat, nevertheless he can be killing numerous folks from his personal tribe, solely by capturing the purple robed man, forcing him to subject an order to retreat, can he forestall each side from killing one another.

His thoughts was set, he shouted in Khitan language: “Hey, you higher retreat! I’m not going to carry again in the event you do not pull again your troops.” “Hu Hu Hu” sound was heard, and three spear was thrown in the direction of Xiao Feng. Xiao Feng thought: “You folks actually do not know what is sweet for you!”

Reducing his physique, he sprinted in the direction of the purple robed man. AguDa noticed him taking the danger, and cried: “It is ineffective, Xiao Feng come again shortly!”

Xiao Feng ignored him, he summon his vigour and burst forth shortly. The Khitans cried out, sending their spears and arrows to greet him. Xiao Feng caught a spear, cut up it into two, taking half a spear and utilizing it as a protracted sword, he pushed apart all of the weapons thrown at him, his step was akin to flying and he was proper subsequent to the purple robed man.

The purple robed man had a beard, his expression highly effective, seeing Xiao Feng arrived, he was not frighten in any respect, he obtained 3 javelin from his left and proper guard, with a “Sou” sound a javelin was thrown at Xiao Feng. Xiao Feng attain out and caught the primary javelin, anticipating the second javelin, he caught it once more. Each his arm vibrated, and the 2 javelin surge and shot out, the left and proper guard of the purple robed man was shot down from their horses. The purple robed man shouted: “Good expertise!” the third javelin was already thrown. Xiao Feng lengthen his left palm, wheeling the spear head, he re-directed the javelin and shot it again just like the wind, plunging it into the chest of the purple robed man’s horse.

The purple robed man name out “Ah Yo!” and bounce off the horse again. Xiao Feng flick his physique, stretch out his left arm, and seize the person’s proper shoulder. He heard the sharp wind of a golden blade behind his again, with a single step, he shot ahead just a few toes, two “Tuo Tuo” sound was heard, and two spears pierced into the bottom. Xiao Feng held onto the purple robed man and leap to the left, reaching the again of a Khitan rider, he knocked the rider off the horseback with a single palm, mounted the horse and velocity away.

The purple robed man waved his fist and tried to punch Xiao Feng face. Xiao Feng held him underneath his left arm and the person couldn’t transfer anymore. Xiao Feng shouted: “Ask your males to retreat, else I’ll crush you to loss of life instantly.” The purple robed man was helpless, and he can solely cry out: “Everybody retreat, cease combating.”

The Khitan surrounded Xiao Feng, wanting to save lots of the person. Xiao Feng used the damaged spear and held it in opposition to the purple robed man’s proper cheek, and shouted: “Would you like me to kill him?”

An previous Khitan warrior shouted: “Rapidly launch our chief, else we are going to dismember you by 5 horses.”

Xiao Feng laughed, making a “Hu” sound along with his palm, he cut up the air in entrance of the previous Khitan. He intend to make use of this palm to show his energy and intimidate the gang, in order to keep away from pointless killing, thus he used full power from his hand, nevertheless he heard a really loud bang, the previous Khitan was caught by the palm drive, he flew off his horse and fell a number of toes away, recent blood spurting from him mouth, it appears he won’t survive.

The Khitan have by no means seen such show of air-splitting palm ability, the palm drive got here out of nowhere, it is akin to witchcraft, the Khitan concurrently rein of their horses and back-off, their expression unusually terrified, fearing that Xiao Feng would possibly strike at them along with his palm.

Xiao Feng shouted: “When you nonetheless do not retreat, I will kill him with a single palm!” and he raises his palm, mimicking as if he was about to strike the pinnacle of the purple robed man.

The purple robed man cried: “You lot again away, everybody transfer again!” Everybody took their horses and transfer again, however they nonetheless refuse to depart.

Xiao Feng questioned: “This space is all flatland and wilderness, if I launch their chief, these Khitan will chase with their horses and we will be unable to flee efficiently.” He stated to the purple robed man: “You name them to ship eight horses over.” The purple robed man complied and conveyed the order. The Khitan pulled eight horses and hand them over to AguDa.

AguDa hate these Khitan for killing his companions and he punch them, “Bang”, he flipped one of many Khitan riders off his horse. Though the Khitan have extra folks, they didn’t retaliate. Xiao Feng stated: “You set one other order, ask your males to kill the horses they’re mounting, they can not hold even one horse”

The purple robed man is easy, he didn’t bicker and argue, he ordered loudly: “Everybody dismount, kill the horses.” The lads didn’t hesitate, they dismount and utilizing their sword or spear, killed all of the horses.

Xiao Feng didn’t count on the lads to be so compliant, he secretly admired them, pondering: “It appears this purple robed man is actually excessive rating, any phrases coming from him, his troops didn’t even present any intention to disobey. The Khitan’s army is so agency, no surprise after they fought with the Track, they’ve extra victories than defeats.” He stated: “Ask your males to return, they aren’t allowed to pursue. If certainly one of them pursue, I will minimize off certainly one of your hand; If two folks pursue, I will minimize off each your fingers; If 4 folks pursue, I will minimize off your 4 limbs! “

The purple robed man was so livid that his beard flared, however as he was the hostage, there was nothing he may do, he may solely order: “Everybody return, collect our males and horses, and destroy the Jurchen nests!” All of the warrior stated in unison: “Sure, sir! ” and so they bowed collectively.

Xiao Feng rein within the horse, waited for AguDa and the 5 males to mount their horses, and so they sped off east and retrace their earlier route. After using for numerous li, Xiao Feng noticed that the Khitan actually didn’t pursue, he bounce to a different mount and let the purple robed man trip on a horse by himself.

The eight of them rode continuous till they attain their huge camp. AguDa reported to his father HeLiBu on how they met the enemy, how they obtained rescued by Xiao Feng, and the way they captured the Khitan’s chief. HeLiBu stated fortunately: “Effectively carried out, deliver ahead that Khitan canine.”

The purple robed man entered the tent, his expression nonetheless mighty and highly effective, upright and unyielding. HeLiBu knew that he was a Khitan noble and requested: “What’s your title? What’s your place in Liao Kingdom?” The person proudly stated: “I’m not captured by you, are you match to ask me?” Khitan and Jurchen have the identical follow, the enemy shall be enslaved to his captor. HeLiBu laughed and stated: “Effectively stated!”

The purple robed man stroll in the direction of Xiao Feng, bending his proper knee he knelt down, prostrate earlier than him and stated: “Grasp, you actually are a tremendous hero, I can not defeat you, despite the fact that I’ve extra males, I nonetheless misplaced. Being captured by you, I’ve no complaints. When you let me return, I’ll give you 50 liang gold, 500 liang silver and 30 gallant horses.”

AguDa’s uncle PoLaSu stated: “You’re a Khitan noble, this type of ransom is inadequate, brother Xiao Feng, you ask him to ship 500 liang gold, 5000 liang silver and 300 gallant horse to redeem himself.” This PoLaSu is clever and succesful, he elevated the unique ransom tenfold, it is clear he’s making an outrageous demand. Base on Jurchen crude way of life, the unique ransom of fifty liang gold, 500 liang silver and 30 gallant horse is already an enormous wealth, the Jurchen and Khitan fought for many years, and so they have by no means heard of such excessive ransom, if this purple robed man refuse to extend the ransom, then they are going to simply settle for the unique quantity which is already thought of a big fortune.

Unexpectedly, the purple robed man didn’t hesitate, he promised: “Wonderful, so be it!”

One of many retailer keepers obtained an enormous shock, he may hardly consider his ears. Khitan and Jurchen, there’ll in fact be tribesmen who lie and deceive others, however for enterprise transaction or when making a vow, one will at all times honour his phrases, they are going to by no means take it again, furthermore this can be a ransom, if the Khitan didn’t have enough cash, or he remorse his phrases, this purple robed man will be unable to return to his tribe, thus empty guarantees are completely ineffective. PoLaSu was afraid that after being captured he obtained shocked to the acute and was in a confuse state, he stated: “Good day, did you pay attention clearly? I’m speaking about 500 liang gold, 5000 liang silver and 300 gallant horse?”

The purple robed man had an air of conceitedness, and he coldly stated: “500 liang gold, 5000 liang silver and 300 gallant horse, how is that this important? My nice Liao Kingdom is wealthier than the remainder of the world, this meagre sum means nothing in our eyes. “He turned to Xiao Feng, his expression grew to become respectful and stated: “Grasp, I’ll solely hearken to your bidding, I’ll now not care in regards to the phrases of others.” PoLaSu stated: “Brother Xiao Feng, you ask him, what’s his official place in Liao Kingdom?” Earlier than Xiao Feng may ask, the particular person replied: “Grasp, if you’re decided to ask my origin, I’ll fabricate one thing to cheat you, you will be unable to separate the reality from the lies. Nevertheless, you’re an honourable hero, I’m additionally an honourable hero, I don’t need to misinform you, and thus you needn’t ask anymore.”

Xiao Feng reverse his left hand, took out the blade from his waist, his proper palm strike the again of the blade, with a “Pai” sound, one part of the blade instantly bent down, he shouted in a stern voice: “You dare not say? If I strike my palm on the again of your head, what do you suppose will occur?”

The purple robed man didn’t panic, he gave a thumb-up along with his proper hand and stated: “Good expertise, good martial artwork! Right now I actually noticed the primary hero on this world, that is worthwhile. Hero Xiao Feng, it is unattainable to coerce me in opposition to my will together with your bodily power. Simply kill me if you want. Though the Khitan can not beat you, however our ethical integrity is not any much less sturdy than yours.”

Xiao Feng laughed, and stated: “Good, Good! I can’t kill you right here. If I killed you with one chop of my blade, you’ll not be satisfied, let go far distant, we are going to battle one another once more.”

HeLiBu and PoLaSu refrain: “Brother Xiao Feng, it is a pity to kill this man, it is higher to maintain him and gather the ransom. If you’re offended, we will beat him severely with a stick or whip.”

Xiao Feng stated: “No! He needs to fake to be a courageous man, I will not permit him to fake.” He borrowed two spears and two bows from the Jurchen, took the purple robed man by the wrist, stroll out of the tent, mounted a horse and stated: “Mount the horse!” The purple robed man didn’t cower, he have little doubt that he’ll die throughout their battle, Xiao Feng stated that he needs to duel him once more, however it’s akin to a cat which caught a rat, it simply need to tease the rat one final time earlier than killing, nevertheless he was not frightened, he mounted a horse and rode north.

Xiao Feng adopted on his horse, each of them rode for just a few li. Xiao Feng stated: “Flip and journey westward!” The purple robed man replied: “The surroundings right here is extraordinarily lovely, I select to die right here.” Xiao Feng stated: “Catch!” as he threw the spear and bow over. The person caught it, and shouted loudly: “Hero Xiao Feng, I do know I’m not your match, however the Khitan folks somewhat die than give up! I’ll assault now!” Xiao Feng stated: “Wait, catch!” He threw his personal spear and bow over, being empty-handed, he gave a smile. The purple robed man was livid and shouted: “You might be combating me together with your naked fingers, aren’t you insulting me a bit an excessive amount of!”

Xiao Feng shook his head and stated: “No! In his life, Xiao Feng respect heroes, worth courageous males. Though your martial artwork is inferior to mine, you’re a courageous hero, Xiao Feng will befriend you! You’ll be able to return to your tribe now.”

The purple robed man obtained an enormous shock and requested: “What … what?” Xiao Feng smiled barely: “I stated Xiao Feng will deal with you want an excellent buddy, I’ll allow you to return residence safely!” The purple robed man simply returned from the gates of hell, naturally he was overjoyed and requested: “You’ll actually launch me? … You … what’s your intention? Once I return residence, I’ll a number of the ransom tenfold once more and ship it to you.” Xiao Feng was angered and stated: “I deal with you as a buddy, why are you not treating me as a buddy? Xiao Feng is a dignified man, why would I hanker after materials wealth? “

The purple robed man stated: “Sure, sure!” He threw down the weaponry, dismounted, fell to his knees, head bowed and worshipped: “Expressing my gratitude in the direction of benefactor for sparing my life.” Xiao Feng knelt down and returned the salute: “Xiao Feng by no means kills a buddy, and he won’t settle for worship from a buddy. If he’s a slave, after receiving his worship, Xiao Feng won’t spare his life” The purple robed man was much more excited, stood up and stated: “Hero Xiao, you declare that you simply deal with me as a buddy, however I need to be your sworn brother, what say you?”

After turning into an achieved martial artist, Xiao Feng joined the Beggar clan instantly. Seniority and rankings was noticed strictly, after the clan-leader and vice-clan-leader, there may be the martial-art imparting elder, rule enforcement elder, 4 protector elders, numerous incense-chief, eight-pouch disciples, seven-pouch disciples, and different disciples in descending order. He can solely accumulate his clan contributions, he didn’t have anybody to swear brotherhood with, solely in Wuxi the place he competed wine consuming with DuanYu and as a result of mutual admiration, did he lastly sworn brotherhood. As he listened to the purple robed man, he recalled that he was previously related to heroes everywhere in the central plains, until now the place he didn’t actually have a correct place to reside, he actually grew to become down-and-out, he can not assist however sigh, however as he noticed the heroic aura of this purple robed man, who can be thought of an excellent courageous man, he replied: “Excellent, superb, Xiao Feng is 31 years previous this 12 months. Revered brother, how previous are you?” The person laughed: “I’m referred to as YeLu Ji. Benefactor, I’m older than you by 13-years.” Xiao Feng stated:” Elder Brother, how are you going to deal with your little brother as benefactor? You’re the elder brother, please settle for my respect.” As he stated this, he paid his respect. YeLu Ji shortly returned the courtesy.

Each of them inserted 3 arrows into the bottom, lit the arrow tail feathers to symbolize incense, worship 8 occasions to heaven, and so they grew to become sworn brothers.

Yelu Ji was extraordinarily glad and stated: “Brother, you surname is Xiao, it could be just like our Khitan folks.” Xiao Feng stated: “I can’t conceal the reality from elder brother, little brother is a Khitan.” As he stated this, he undid his robes, revealing the inexperienced wolf-head tattoo on his chest.

Yelu Ji noticed it and rejoiced: “Actually good, you descended from the earlier era of our Khitan tribe. Brother, the Jurchen land is chilly and harsh, why do not you comply with me and return to our capital, we are going to benefit from the riches collectively.” Xiao Feng stated: “I thank elder brother good intentions, however youthful brother has at all times been poor and lowly, the wealthy life doesn’t swimsuit me. Little brother is at the moment residing with the Jurchen, searching and consuming wine, I’m carefree and glad. Sooner or later, if I miss brother, I’ll naturally go to Liao Kingdom and pay you a go to.” He and AhZi have been separated for a very long time, he was fearful about her accidents, and stated: “Brother, please return early to keep away from worrying your loved ones and subordinates.” Each of them paid their respect and parted with one another.

Xiao Feng turned his horse round, and he was greeted by a dozen tribesmen led by AguDa. AguDa noticed that Xiao Feng didn’t return after going out for a very long time, fearing the devious trick of the purple robed man, he introduced his males and got here to help. Xiao Feng narrated that he had launched him again to Liao Kingdom. AguDa can be an excellent and clever hero, seeing Xiao Feng worth human ties greater than materials wealth and in addition being open-minded and beneficiant, he may solely marvel at Xiao Feng’s character.

Sooner or later, Xiao Feng, AhZi and AguDa had been engaged in idle chats, they talked in regards to the origins of AhZi’s damage, Xiao Feng knew that the damage was erroneously inflicted by his palm drive, though her life was sustained by ginseng, her damage nonetheless didn’t recuperate after such a very long time and this was extraordinarily worrying. AguDa stated: “Brother Xiao, it appears your sister suffered exterior accidents, for bruises and falls, we Jurchen have at all times been utilizing a drugs combination of tiger tendon, tiger bones and bear gall, and it’s efficacious, why do not we attempt it?” Xiao Feng was extraordinarily glad and stated: “We would not have something, however for tiger tendon and tiger bone, we’ve essentially the most, as for bear gall, I can attempt to kill a bear for it.” Instantly he ask in regards to the medication system, he combined the tiger tendon and tiger bone right into a cream, and fed it to AhZi.

This early morning, Xiao Feng went alone into the distant mountains to hunt bears. As he was searching alone, he may freely executed his lightness martial arts, and this was a lot handy than following a searching get together. In the course of the first day, he didn’t spot any black bear however he hunted one on the second day. He eliminated the bear gall, ran again to camp, and fed it to AhZI. Tiger tendons, tiger bones, bear gall, all these components are exhausting to seek out. Though Divine Doctor Xue possess superb medical information, there’s a restrict to how a lot medication he can prescribe, it is actually past his monetary skill to prescribe previous mountain ginseng to be eaten for meals, and to be like Xiao Feng, discovering 1 or 2 bear gall on a regular basis to feed AhZi, it’s actually troublesome to perform.

This present day, Xiao Feng was on the tent’s entrance concocting the tiger bone paste, a Jurchen hurriedly came visiting and stated: “Brother Xiao, a dozen Khitan got here bearing present for you.” Xiao Feng nodded, he knew it was gifted by his sworn brother Yelu Ji. He heard the trampling of horse hoof, one line of horse slowly came visiting, the horsebacks packed full of things.

The Khitan captain listened to Yelu Ji description of Xiao Feng’s look, as quickly as he noticed Xiao Feng, he leaped off the horse and knelt down earlier than him and stated: “After parting with Grasp Xiao, my Lord miss you terribly, he ordered subordinate to ship these presents, and he invitations Grasp Xiao to remain in Liao capital” he gave just a few kowtow, offered the present’s record with each fingers, wanting extraordinarily respectful.

Xiao Feng obtained the present record, smiled and stated: “Thanks for the trouble, please rise!” He opened the present record, solely to see Khitan textual content, he stated: “I do not perceive the writing, I do not need to peruse it anymore.” The attendant stated: “This meagre present is 5000 liang gold, 50 000 liang silver, 2000 roll of brocade, 1000 dan of high-quality wheat, 1000 fats cow, 5000 fats sheep, 3000 gallant horse, as well as there may be an assortment of equipment and jewelleries.”

Xiao Feng was startled when he heard it, there was a lot presents, it was ten occasions greater than what PoLaSu requested for in ransom, he had simply seen 10 over horses carrying this stuff, however the present quantity is just too nice, base on his estimate, it could require numerous horse carriage to retailer them.

The attendant bowed and stated: “My grasp feared the animal would possibly lose their manner throughout the journey, thus we ready further cattle, sheep and horses. Counting on my Lord and Grasp Xiao success, subordinate didn’t meet any catastrophe or wild beasts, the losses are minimal.” Xiao Feng sighed: “Such thoughtfulness from Brother Yelu Ji, if I refuse to simply accept, I shall be letting down his good intentions, but when I settle for, it would not actually appear proper ” The attendant replied: “My Lord repeatedly jogged my memory, if Grasp Xiao refuse the present, I shall be closely punished once I return.”

Immediately he heard the blowing of trumpets, the Jurchens within the encampment took out their blades and bows, all of them rush out of their tents. Somebody shouted: “The enemy is placing, put together to have interaction them.” Xiao Feng look in the direction of the path the place the trumpet sound got here from, he noticed mud cloud gathering, it appears there are numerous cavalry coming in the direction of them.

The attendant shouted: “Everybody please don’t panic, all these are Grasp Xiao’s sheep, cattle and horses.” His utilizing Jurchen’s language to shout repeatedly, however not one of the Jurchens believed him, HeLiBu, PoLaSu, AguDa organized the tribesmen, they fashioned a contingent to the west of the camp.

For the primary time, Xiao Feng noticed the Jurchens arranging their formation to arrange for conflict, he thought: “The Jurchens are few in quantity, however all of them are ferocious and agile. Though Brother YeLu Ji’s males are superb, they can not evaluate in opposition to these courageous and agile Jurchens, as for the Track troops, there no must even evaluate.”

The attendant stated: “I’ll go and greet my subordinate and ask them to cease advancing, in order to keep away from any misunderstanding.” He rotated and mounted his horse and travelled west ward. AguDa wave his hand and 4 Jurchen hunters mounted their horses, they tailed the attendant. Because the 5 males slowly superior with their horses, they attain the neighborhood, however they noticed cattle, sheep and horses blanketing the mountains and plains, 100 Khitan herdsmen had been herding the animals with sticks, there aren’t any troopers.

The 4 the Jurchen hunters smiled and switch round to report back to HeLiBu. After some time, the livestock got here close to, the cows moo and the horses neigh, they had been making an enormous racket that drown out the voices of each one. That night time Xiao Feng invited the Jurchens to slaughter the sheep and cattle in honour of the overseas visitors. The following day he gifted numerous gold, silver and satin to the group of travellers. When the Khitans left, he gifted all of the gold, silver, brocade, cattle, sheep and horses to AguDa, and ask him to redistribute to the tribesmen. The Jurchens lived collectively as a tribe, they don’t personal any personal property, no matter a person owns it’s equal to the tribe proudly owning it, despite the fact that Xiao Feng is beneficiant, no physique discovered it unusual, however buying a lot wealth out of the blue, everybody was naturally glad. The tribe threw large banquets for a number of days, everyone seems to be grateful to Xiao Feng.

Summer season previous and autumn arrived, AhZi’s damage had some enchancment once more. As she regain full consciousness, she grew to become bored having to lie within the tent on daily basis, and she or he usually ask Xiao Feng to take her on horse using journeys to alleviate her boredom. Each of them rode on the identical horse, and she or he lean on Xiao Feng’s chest, it didn’t require any effort from her half. Xiao Feng was at all times accommodating in the direction of her, in the middle of this few months, besides throughout blizzard, the 2 of them was at all times out roaming about. Finally they obtained bored roaming the neighborhood, they took a tent and camped far out and didn’t return to the tribe for just a few days. Xiao Feng took this chance to hunt tigers and bears, and dig for ginseng. As a result of AhZi sneak assault on Xiao Feng with a poison needle, the bear and tiger of Changbai Mountain suffered an enormous misfortune, numerous animals must die by Xiao Feng’s palm for her remedy.

To be able to dig for ginseng simply, Xiao Feng needed to journey east or north. On this present day, AhZi stated they’ve seen all of the surroundings within the east and north, and she or he needed to journey to the west. Xiao Feng stated: “There may be solely huge grass plains within the west, there isn’t any surroundings.” AhZi replied: “Huge grass plain is sweet, it just like the ocean, I’ve by no means seen an actual ocean. Though our XingXiu Sea will be thought of a sea, however it has border and shores”

Xiao Feng heard her point out the three phrases “XingXiu Sea”, and his coronary heart grew chilly, after residing with the Jurchen for all these years, he steadily forgot all of the occasions within the martial world. When AhZi was immobilized, there isn’t any one to mess issues up, and he focus solely on saving her life, however now that she recovered, her viciousness flare up once more, how ought to he resolve this?

He flip round and look at AhZi, her snow-white face nonetheless didn’t have the slightest little bit of color, her cheeks barely pinched, her huge pair of eye sunken, he look is extraordinarily haggard and her physique emaciated. Xiao Feng couldn’t assist however really feel responsible: “She survived however grew to become a strolling skeleton, why do I solely keep in mind her flaws?” he laughed and stated: “Because you prefer to journey west, allow us to journey west. AhZi, as soon as there may be nice enchancment in your accidents, I will take you to the Korean borders to have a look at the ocean, the boundless clear water so far as the attention can see, the surroundings will actually be superb.”

AhZi clapped and grinned: “After all, in fact, truly we do not have to attend till I recuperate utterly, we will go now.” Xiao Feng gave a “Yi” sound, he was shock and glad: “AhZi, your hand can transfer once more.” AhZi smiled and stated: “I may transfer my fingers 14 days in the past, and at present they grew to become rather more nimble.” Xiao Feng stated fortunately: “Fantastic! You naughty woman, how lengthy do you propose to maintain it from me?” AhZi flashed a sly look in her eyes, smiled and stated: “I’d somewhat not transfer endlessly, solely then will you accompany me like this on daily basis. As soon as I recovered, you’ll naturally chase me away once more.”

Xiao Feng hearken to her communicate her honest emotions, his sense of pity rose spontaneously, and he stated: “I’m a boorish man, I by accident injured you and also you ended up on this sorry state. What good will it do so that you can accompany me on daily basis?”

AhZi didn’t reply, after a protracted pause, she whispered: “Brother-in-law, why did you exert a lot power once you hit me together with your palm that day?” Xiao Feng didn’t want to deliver up the previous, he shake his head and stated: “The incident had lengthy handed, why deliver it up once more? AhZi, I injure you to such a state, I really feel terribly apologetic, do you hate me? “AhZi stated: “I don’t hate you. Why would I hate you? I initially needed you to accompany me, aren’t you accompanying me now? I’m very glad.”

As Xiao Feng hearken to her, he thought that her intention was weird, however her current conduct was certainly wonderful, and thus it have to be as a result of his attentive care which removed her vicious temperament, and he went again to the tribe to arrange the horses, carriage, tents, dried rations and different issues for his or her journey west.

The following morning, the 2 of them headed west. After travelling about 10 li, AhZi requested: “Brother-in-law, have you ever guessed it?” Xiao Feng stated: “Guess what?” AhZi stated: “Have you learnt the rationale why I assault you with the poison needle that day?” Xiao Feng shook his head and stated: “You ideas are troublesome to pin down, how can I assume?”AhZi sighed and stated: “Since you possibly can’t guess then simply overlook it. Brother-in-law, there are such a lot of geese right here, why do they prepare in formation and fly south? “

Xiao Feng regarded up, he noticed two formation of geese, and so they lined as much as type an arrowhead and so they flew south, he stated: “The climate is getting chilly, geese are afraid of the chilly, they’re flying south to take refuge in opposition to the chilly. AhZi stated: “Then why do they fly again throughout spring? Flying forwards and backwards yearly, is not it tiring? If they’re chilly, simply keep within the south completely and do not come again.”

Xiao Feng commit himself to the examine of martial arts, he by no means gave a thought in regards to the habits of animals and pests, underneath her questioning he didn’t know learn how to reply, he shake his head and laughed: “I have no idea why they aren’t afraid of hardships, I assume these wild geese are born within the north, they’re nostalgic and return residence.”

AhZi nodded: “It have to be true. Have a look at the final geese, its physique is just not massive, however it is usually flying south. Finally, when it father, mom, sister and brother-in-law all return north, it’ll naturally comply with them again.”

Xiao Feng heard her say “Sister, Brother-in-law” these 4 phrases, his coronary heart was moved, and he flip his head to have a look at her, solely to see her staring blanking on the geese formation, apparently her phrases had been unintentional, he questioned: “With an informal phrase, she related me together with her dad and mom, it appears that evidently in her coronary heart, she deal with me as her closest relative. I can not abandon her casually. When she recovered, I’ve to escort her to Dali and hand her over to her dad and mom, solely then will I full the duty I’ve been entrusted with.”
