Chapter 172 The fourth bowl of wontons

Songshan, Shaolin,

The ancient Shaolin Temple has a quiet Zen meaning, and it is already spring, and the plants and trees are fresh and lively.

Although the sun is high, under the shade of the ancient trees in Shaolin Temple, people don’t feel any heat at all.

Master Fang Zheng and Taoist Master Chongxu were sitting under the ancient tree, playing chess, while Li Bufu was just watching from the side.

Before the game of chess was finished, Li Bufu asked: "Master Fang Zheng, I tied Xiang Wentian to you, not just to let Xiang Wentian listen to the sutras every day and infect the Buddha nature."

Master Fang Zheng said: "President Li, please talk about his intention."

Li Bufu said: "The Sun and Moon God Sect has been defeated, but the Holy Aunt is still the Holy Aunt. Ren Yingying can be imprisoned but not killed. Does Master Fang Zheng understand what I mean?"

Master Fang Zheng stopped the chess piece in his hand and said, "I understand the twists and turns."

Although the Sun and Moon God Sect has almost been destroyed, the holy aunt’s kindness to the heroes at that time will not be erased much. This group of heroes in the world value the most loyalty. If Ren Yingying had any problems, it would probably cause an uproar in the world again.

Li Bufu said: "Master Fang Zheng, Ren Yingying can't stay in Shaolin Temple for the rest of her life."

Master Fang Zheng was stunned and said, "According to the words of Master Li, when should Miss Yingying and Young Hero Linghu be allowed to leave the temple?"

Li Bufu said, "I can't help but when will Shaolin Temple be released? But after Linghu Chong practiced the Dugu Nine Swords and Zixia magical skills for a few years, Ren Yingying's martial arts will continue to improve. If some exquisite strategies are added at that time, Shaolin Temple may not be able to stop them from leaving."

Master Fang Zheng thought about it for a moment and smiled bitterly: "Not to mention that in a few years, Linghu Chong was the successor of Senior Feng. If Senior Feng came to Shaolin to ask for someone, I would not dare to let him go."

Li Bufu continued: "So if Ren Yingying leaves Shaolin Temple and she knows that I killed Ren Woxing..."

Taoist Master Chongxu smiled and said, "Can she still come to find Master Li to take revenge?"

With Li Bufu’s current reputation, status, and martial arts, who dares to provoke him?

But Li Bufu actually nodded and said, "Yes, she will come naturally."

Taoist Master Chongxu was shocked and said, "Then isn't she seeking death?"

Li Bufu said: "I must have left at that time. I was worried that she would go to find the Five Immortal Sect, Sister Lan, and Feifei and others to take revenge."

Master Fang Zheng asked, "Leaving? Where is the leader Li going?"

Li Bufu sighed: "I don't know where it is a very distant place."

——According to the "old rules" of the Jianghu Order, Li Bufu can only stay here for another year and will be teleported away and go to another martial arts plane.

Master Fang Zheng frowned and thought for a long time before saying, "President Li's words have a profound meaning. I'm sorry I can never understand them."

Li Bufu said: "In short, I brought Xiang Wentian, just to ask Ren Yingying and Xiang Wentian to make an agreement: I promise not to kill them today, and promised them to leave the temple in seven years, but the condition is that this grudge will be eliminated, and no one can seek revenge!"

Master Fang Zheng nodded and said, "President Li has a deep roots, and Xiang Donor and others are also people who follow their faith. If the grudges can be resolved in this way, it will be a good thing in the martial arts world."

·········

From dusk to dusk, the branches sway.

Taoist Master Chongxu finally dropped the last piece.

"Master Fang Zheng, you lost."

Taoist Master Chongxu held his chin and chuckled. After he got back to the "Zhenwu Sword", he was always full of energy and was quite happy.

Master Fang Zheng said calmly: "I lost."

Taoist Master Chongxu smiled and said, "Although I am not as good as you in terms of martial arts, I am still slightly better than you in the realm of chess."

Li Bufu, who had watched the two of them play chess for the whole afternoon, asked: "There is a realm of chess, and martial arts, but I don't know how much you know about the realm of martial arts?"

Master Fang Zheng said: "Since I entered the Grand Master's realm twenty years ago, I have practiced my internal strength every day, and my internal strength is just about to reach the Ren Du realm; but in terms of martial arts moves, I have not yet realized the mystery of no moves."

The "Ren Du Realm" of internal strength and the "No Action Realm" of moves are two corresponding realms of a major realm above the master.

Master Fang Zheng glanced at Li Bufu and said, "Compared with the internal strength of Master Li, I am afraid I can only keep it from losing. If I want to win, it would be too difficult."

Master Chongxu said: "My internal strength is far below the two, let alone mention it."

Li Bufu suddenly asked again: "Master Fang Zheng, Master Chongxu, have you heard of the state where you can go through the sky and the earth, break the void, and allow people to communicate between the void?"

Master Fang Zheng and Taoist Master Chongxu looked at each other, and there was a doubt in their eyes.

Master Chongxu said, "I vaguely remember that the founder of my school, Sanfeng, once mentioned a few simple words in a letter, but did not elaborate them. That was just a state of conjecture, and no one knew whether it really existed," he said.

Li Bufu asked again: "Is it possible for me to reach that level?"

Taoist Master Chongxu was stunned for a moment, and then smiled and said, "If there is really such a state in the world, you can reach it by Master Li."

——Master Chongxu’s words were not entirely about welcome, just because Li Bufu was indeed the youngest and extremely accomplished master he had ever met. Looking at this point, Chongxu could not find a few people who could compare with him.

When Li Bufu heard this, he felt relieved in his heart and said, "Okay, then let's go to see Ren Yingying and the others together."

The three of them then went deep into Shaolin.

······

More than half a year later.

Li Bufu announced the disbandment of the Sun and Moon Sect, and then stepped down as the head of the Five Mountains. He only went from the southwest with Lan Fenghuang, traveled northward, and finally arrived at the Yandang Mountain area in the southeast.

They actually met He Sanqi here.

He Sanqi is still selling wontons.

Li Bufu and Lan Fenghuang also really sat down and bought two bowls of wontons from him.

Li Bufu sighed: "I didn't eat the wontons in the first three times, but I finally could eat them quietly this time."

Lan Fenghuang said, "You can eat it raw. This may be the last bowl of wontons you ate from Senior He Sanqi."

Li Bufu naturally told her what he was about to leave.

Although Lan Fenghuang was unwilling to do so, she still accepted it after all. It was as if some young people in the south were unwilling to stay in the mountains all their lives, and would always go out for several years, then come back to start a family and have a son.

He Sanqi said, "How could this be the last bowl?"

Li Bufu said: "Do I have a chance to eat again in the future?"

He Sanqi said: "As long as I don't die and you don't retreat, you will definitely have a chance."

Li Bufu said: "Then it seems that this is the fourth bowl of wontons, not the last bowl."

He Sanqi said: "Of course not."

When Lan Fenghuang heard this, her eyes, like water, moved gently, and her eyebrows also opened.

After eating the wontons, Li Bufu thanked He Sanqi again and then left with Lan Fenghuang.

When I returned to Miaojiang, I sang and danced happily again, and water poured on fire.

The Miao family welcomed and recognized Li Bufu.

Li Bufu played well with the people of Miaojiang for a whole month, and was full of interest and was happy to forget his worries.

"How long does it take to come back this time?"

"I'll be back as soon as possible."

"But I am twenty-five years old. If you come back late, wouldn't I have become an old woman?"

Women always care about age.

Li Bufu said: "I heard that some elixirs and mental methods in the world can keep their faces alive and keep their youth forever. When I come back, I will definitely bring back this kind of thing for you."

"Okay, then I'll wait for you!"

Not long after this conversation, Li Bufu left in a quiet night.
