Chapter 383 The murderer comes at night
The three of them followed the eunuch and transferred through the corridor. They walked through several courtyards in a row, and finally came outside a flower hall.
I only heard the eunuch report: "Marquis Shanchan, Ling Muyun, Zhong Ling met the emperor and the empress." After that, he opened the curtain hanging at the door and made a gesture to invite Ling Muyun and others to enter.
Gao Shengtai winked at Ling Muyun and Zhong Ling and walked into the flower hall. It was already late at this time, but dozens of thick red candles were lit in the flower hall, illuminating the entire flower hall like daytime.
Ling Muyun looked up and saw a middle-aged man and woman sitting in the middle of the flower hall. Duan Zhengchun, Dao Baifeng and Duan Yu who came in earlier were all sitting sideways with each other.
The man and woman were wearing dragon robes and phoenix robes. The man looked in his forties, with long beards, and his appearance was fifty or sixty to Duan Zhengchun, but he was more calm and majestic. The woman next to him looked at her thirties and forties, dignified and elegant, with extraordinary temperament. I think it was Duan Zhengming, the Emperor of Baoding, Dali Kingdom, and his queen.
"I am Gao Shengtai to see the emperor, Empress."
As soon as he entered the flower hall, Gao Shengtai knelt down to a man and a woman sitting in the middle. Zhong Ling hesitated for a moment and then knelt down.
Only Ling Muyun still stood and did not kneel, but just clasped his fists to Duan Zhengming and performed a ritual. The meaning was very obvious. This time he came to see the head of the Duan family in Dali as a gangster, instead of seeing the emperor of Dali as a commoner. Don’t put your emperor’s airs in front of me as soon as possible.
In fact, this is true. Ling Muyunjing mainly has the identity of the Duan family's martial arts family, not the royal family. If he is an ordinary person in the martial arts world, although he is disdainful, he still has awe of the royal family in his heart, but Ling Muyun is definitely not among them. He thinks that even Genghis Khan and Kangxi dare to kill, and the emperor of a small country in Dali would be even less concerned.
Duan Yuren couldn't help but secretly sweat for Ling Muyun, for fear that Ling Muyun's actions would make his uncle unhappy. But he couldn't say anything. Ling Muyun, the life-savior, was not willing to kneel down and kowtow to his uncle, could he force the other party to kneel down?
Duan Zhengchun and Dao Baifeng were also puzzled in their hearts. Ling Muyun was very humble and polite in front of them. Why did he not know his mind when he came to the emperor? Although the Duan family was indeed inherited from martial arts and regarded themselves as a martial arts family, you can't really take the Duan family's royal identity seriously, right?
How could they know that Ling Muyun, who was a time traveler, was not ordinary rejecting the kneeling ceremony. Besides the parents of heaven and earth, who else could he kneel down? He was already looking at Duan Yu's favor and wanted him to kneel down? That was really delusion!
"Marty Shan Chan, you have any injuries on your body, so you don't have to be polite. Come and see the seats for Marty Shan Chan, Mr. Ling and Miss Zhong."
Fortunately, Duan Zhengming was quite arrogant. Seeing that Ling Muyun did not kneel down, he did not have any respect for him, the emperor, but he was not angry. He smiled slightly and ordered in harmony.
The servant brought three chairs, and Ling Muyun, Gao Shengtai and Zhong Ling, thanked him for his salute, and then sat down. Everyone present also realized that Ling Muyun was not ignorant, but just put both parties on an equal position in his heart, and did not have any awe of their Duan family, so naturally he was unwilling to bow to Duan Zhengming.
After Ling Muyun and the other three sat down, Duan Zhengming said, "Mr. Ling, Miss Zhong, I have just heard from Yu'er that he was in danger several times this time, and it all depends on your support and help. Only then can he get rid of danger and turn danger into safety. My Duan family really doesn't know how to thank you."
Ling Muyun smiled faintly and said, "Your Majesty, you are polite. Brother Duan and I have similar ambitions and become close friends. If you are in trouble, it is natural to help you. There is nothing strange about it. It is too polite to say thank you."
Duan Zhengming saw that Ling Muyun spoke appropriately in front of him, neither humble nor arrogant, and could not help but nodded secretly and said, "It is indeed his fate that Yu'er can make friends like Mr. Ling, and I, as an uncle, feel very pleased."
"Your Majesty, I want to ask you for something, but I wonder if you are willing to agree?" Zhong Ling suddenly spoke.
"Oh?" Duan Zhengming smiled slightly and asked, "I don't know what you have to ask for Miss Zhong. As long as I can do it, I will definitely agree to you."
Zhong Ling said: "Your Majesty, Brother Yu left home privately this time, I'm afraid you'll be angry. Now Brother Yu already knows that he's wrong, so don't hit him, okay?"
Duan Zhengming laughed and said, "It turns out that what the girl wants is this. I was going to hit him 50 times, but since the girl has pleaded with her, let's go. Yu'er, don't you thank Miss Zhong yet."
Duan Yu was so happy when he saw Zhong Ling that the emperor was very happy. Knowing that his uncle was easy-going, he bowed deeply to Zhong Ling and said, "I thanked Ling'er for his kindness. If it weren't for Ling'er, I would have suffered."
Zhong Ling smiled sweetly and said, "Brother Yu, you don't need to be beaten, but thank you, but you don't need to thank you."
At this moment, I suddenly heard a noise in the mansion. The sound of the "pavilion" on the roof outside the several houses on the west side, followed by the sound of the "pavilion" on the neighboring house. It was obvious that someone broke into the palace and was running freely on the room, otherwise such a big noise would not have happened. Then I heard a few whirlpools, and several people got on the roof. Chu Wanli shouted in the voice: "What are you going to come to the palace late at night?"
A stern voice sounded: "I'm looking for a disciple! Call my good disciple out to see me."
Duan Yu and Zhong Ling couldn't help but look at each other in panic, because they were all familiar with the voices of the visitor, and they were the South China Sea Crocodile God.
Zhong Ling couldn't help but look anxious. She was captured by the South China Sea Crocodile God for several days, so she naturally knew the power of the South China Sea Crocodile God. Although the royal palace was very cautious, the guards were Yun, the King of Zhennan, Ling Muyun, Gao Shengtai, Chu Gufu Zhu and others were all very powerful in martial arts, but the South China Sea Crocodile God was too powerful. If you get help from Ye Erniang, Yun Zhonghe, and the "No. 1 evil man in the world" who has never shown up, the four evil forces will join forces. If you want to force Duan Yu, it will be difficult to stop it.
At this time, Chu Wanli shouted: "Who is your great disciple? How can you be your disciple in the Zhennan Prince's Mansion? Retreat quickly!"
Then the South China Sea Crocodile God answered. Suddenly, a big hand reached out in the air and tore the curtain hanging on the door of the flower hall into two halves. When the figure flashed, the South China Sea Crocodile God had already swept into the hall.
Because Duan Yuzheng was sitting next to Duan Zhengming, the South China Sea Crocodile God saw it at a glance, and immediately burst into laughter and shouted: "The fourth brother said it well, good disciple, you are indeed here. Please ask me to accept you as your disciple and learn Kung Fu from me."
As he spoke, he rushed out like a wind, and stretched out his chicken claw-like hand to grab Duan Yu's shoulders.
Seeing that his grab was so fast that it was really powerful, Duan Zhengchun was afraid that he would hurt his beloved son, so he immediately stood up and waved his palms and slapped him. The two of them touched each other's palms, and with a "bang", both of them felt the internal force was shocked. Duan Zhengchun's body shook and he stood firm. The South China Sea Crocodile God's body was shocked, and he couldn't stop taking two steps back before he gained a foothold.
The South China Sea Crocodile God was in a panic and shouted, "Who are you? What does it have to do with me to lead my disciple?"
Duan Zhengchun smiled and said, "Duan Zhengchun is the King of Dali Town. This house is my residence. Duan Yu is my biological son. When will he be your teacher? Why don't I know?"
Duan Yu smiled and said, "Dad, he is the third son of the South China Sea crocodile God Yue, among the four evil people. He insisted on accepting me as his disciple. I said I had already worshipped the master, but he just didn't believe it."
When the South China Sea Crocodile God saw his disciple flying, he didn't bother to correct Duan Yu's call him Yue Laosan. He looked at Duan Yu and then at Duan Zhengchun, the King of Zhennan, and said, "The old man is very good at martial arts, but the young man is not at all. I don't believe you are the two of you. Duan Zhengchun, we are careless, even if he is your son. But the method of teaching martial arts is wrong, your son is too pussy. It's a pity, hehe, it's a pity."
Duan Zhengchun couldn't help but be angry and funny. What does Ma Ma Ma Huhu mean to be his son? Is this counting? But just now, he had a good martial arts skills, but he didn't dare not take his words seriously. So he asked, "What a pity?"
The Nanhai Crocodile Shinto said: "Your son looks very much like me, and he is a rare piece of martial arts learning material. You only need to learn from me for ten years and make him an amazing master in the martial arts world. But if it is in your hands, this rare martial arts genius will be wasted."
Everyone present couldn't help but feel strange. They thought that this was really inexplicable. You have a strong martial arts skills and an ugly appearance, but Duan Yu is handsome and has no martial arts skills. What do you think of you? Besides, you also add the word "very"?
I heard the South China Sea Crocodile God continue to say: "Your son has long hands and long arms, pyrosy brain bones, soft waist and ribs, smart and smart, not old, and a man, he is really a martial arts master. Look, isn't my hind-brain bone like your son?" As he said that, he turned around and patted his hind-brain bone at Duan Zhengchun.
Only then did everyone realize that what he called Duan Yu was very similar to him, but it was just a piece of brain bone between the two.
At this moment, Duan Yu said, "Yue Lao San, you are not good at martial arts and are not worthy of being my master. You can go back to Wanfen Island in the South China Sea to practice for another twenty years, and then come out to talk about martial arts with people."
The South China Sea Crocodile God was furious and shouted, "You kid, are you worthy of saying that my martial arts skills are not good?"
Duan Yu said: "I ask you: 'The wind and thunder are beneficial. A gentleman will change when he sees good things, and correct when he makes mistakes'. What does that mean?"
The South China Sea Crocodile God was stunned and said angrily: "What's that mean? What's the wind and thunder, what nonsense?"
Duan Yu said: "You don't even understand these simplest words, so why are you talking about martial arts? I'll ask you again, 'The people will say boundless. From the top and bottom, the way will be great.' What does that mean?"
Duan Zhengming, Duan Zhengchun, Gao Shengtai and others couldn't help but feel funny when they heard him quote the words from the Book of Changes to tease this person. Ling Muyun also had some knowledge of the number of the Book of Changes and the Bagua and other things because of Huang Rong, and also knew why Duan Yu said. Although Zhong Ling didn't understand what he said, he guessed that it was mostly a scholar who was losing his schoolbag.
Duan Zhengchun saw that the visitor was only one of the four evil spirits. Although his martial arts were not weak, he was even worse than himself. He might as well use this man to play with him. With the smile of Emperor, Queen and Lady, his son was able to speak nonsense and not stop him.
The South China Sea Crocodile God was stunned and saw that everyone was mocking on their faces. I thought that what Duan Yu said was probably not good things, so he shouted and was about to strike up his palms. Duan Zhengchun took half a step and stopped him and his son. The South China Sea Crocodile God was afraid of Duan Zhengchun's martial arts skills, so he forced himself to hold back.
With his father's support, Duan Yu became more and more excited. He laughed mockingly and said to the South China Sea Crocodile God: "What I said are the secrets of martial arts, and there are endless mysteries, and you don't know. You, like a frog in the well, want to be my master, wouldn't you laugh so hard that the world's mouths are skewed? Haha, some of the masters I worship are immortals in the jade cave, some are well-educated scholars, and some are great monks. You, if you study for another ten years, you may not be able to worship me as your teacher."
Ling Muyun couldn't help but smile knowingly. Perhaps others thought Duan Yu was just talking nonsense and using it to make up the numbers, but he knew that Duan Yu's words were all pointing to it. Duan Yu had been familiar with poetry, books and Buddhist scriptures since he was a child, and he naturally had many scholars and great monks who had learned from him. The gods of the jade cave refer to the jade statue in the Langhuan's secret cave.
The South China Sea Crocodile jumped up in anger and shouted: "I don't believe it, I don't believe it. Who is your worship master? Tell him out and show me a few hands."
Duan Yu saw that his uncle was smiling and his father was indulging himself again, and he became even more proud. He said to the South China Sea Crocodile Shinto: "Okay, if you have the courage, you will be here. I will invite my master. Don't be scared to escape."
"My Master Yue 2 has been circulating in the world all his life. Who is he afraid of? Go quickly, go quickly." The South China Sea Crocodile God said angrily, "Why am I running for? Damn, you refuse to change to the wise master. I think it must be your secret master who refuses to agree. I will break your bullshit master's neck first. If you lose your master, you must be my master. Well, this idea is really brilliant. I am indeed smart, hahaha..."
The more I spoke, the more I felt that the idea he came up with was so brilliant. I claimed to have praised himself a few words, and couldn't help but laugh.
"Yue Lao San, are you very arrogant! But is there any room for you to be arrogant here?" At this moment, a lazy voice suddenly rang in the flower hall.
"Who is his grandmother who dares to say this to me...uh!"
The South China Sea Crocodile God shouted angrily and turned his head to look, but after seeing the appearance of the person who was speaking clearly, the words before he finished speaking were immediately held in his throat, and his yellow cheeks were red. Because he discovered that the person who was speaking was not someone else, but Ling Muyun, who scared him to escape in a panic more than a day ago!
Because Ling Muyun, Zhong Ling, Gao Shengtai and others were arranged to sit on the side of the flower hall, and after the South China Sea Crocodile God broke into the flower hall, he saw Duan Yu sitting on the top of the head at a glance, and his attention was focused on Duan Yu, so he did not notice Ling Muyun's existence at all. It was not until this time that he saw Ling Muyun.
When he saw that Ling Muyun, who was most afraid of him, was also here, the South China Sea Crocodile God felt a little twitching in his calves. He couldn't help but laugh dryly and said, "Young Master Ling, it turns out you...you are here too."
Ling Muyun said: "What, do you think I can't be here? Or do you think I'm in a way that's your eyes?"
"No, no, I...I have no intention of this. Mr. Ling can go wherever he wants. How dare I interfere?" The South China Sea Crocodile God waved his hands repeatedly, his fear being beyond words.
The South China Sea Crocodile God dealt with Ling Muyun, but he was secretly complaining in his heart. He was not afraid of the world, but he was afraid of two people. One was his boss, Duan Yanqing, and the other was Ling Muyun.
In contrast, he was quite respectful to Duan Yanqing, but he was more afraid of Ling Muyun than to respect him. After all, Duan Yanqing just gave him a lesson if he had something to do and had to suffer some flesh and blood. It was impossible for him to really take his life.
But Ling Muyun almost sacked his martial arts as soon as he met him. He was in a bad mood and it would be no wonder that he would have killed him. If he had known that Ling Muyun was here, he would have said that he would not have come here to find Duan Yu to become a disciple.
Although in the eyes of the South China Sea Crocodile God, Duan Yu is simply a martial arts genius who is born to practice his martial arts in the South China Sea Sect. If he can learn from his careful teachings, he will definitely be better than others in the future, and promote his reputation as the South China Sea Crocodile God, so that his reputation as the South China Sea Crocodile God will be widely praised in the world.
But if the apprentice fails to take it off this time, you can find a way next time, but if this life is gone, it will never be saved.
Gao Shengtai, Zhong Ling, Duan Yu and others were fine. They had seen the scene of the encounter between the South China Sea Crocodile God and Ling Muyun when they were in Wuliang Mountain. They knew that the South China Sea Crocodile God seemed to have suffered a loss under Ling Muyun, so they were quite afraid of Ling Muyun. They didn't feel surprised to see such a scene again.
But Duan Zhengchun and others were secretly surprised. Everyone saw the scene of Duan Zhengchun fighting with the South China Sea Crocodile God just now. They knew that although the martial arts of the South China Sea Crocodile God were slightly weaker than Duan Zhengchun, they were also a real master.
Moreover, looking at his previous performance, it is not difficult to see that although the South China Sea Crocodile God seems to be a little unrealistic, he is a rebellious person. How could such a person be so afraid or even afraid of a young man like Ling Muyun?
Duan Zhengming and others couldn't help but look at each other, and their hearts raised Ling Muyun's status a little further. It was possible that Ling Muyun was not as simple as they had imagined before.
At this time, Ling Muyun said, "Yue Lao San, what did you say just now? I want to break my brother Duan's neck, right?"
"Yes, that's what I said."
The South China Sea Crocodile God noticed that Ling Muyun's tone seemed to be wrong, and vaguely guessed that there might be something that he didn't know about here, but he still bit the bullet and admitted it.
Chapter completed!
