"Don't try to run away, sir! Your hidden magic sleeve is indeed impressive, but you can't take away the mosquito needle!"
Yin Susu's eyes were sharp as an eagle's, and her hands were covered with silk gloves. She took out a series of hidden weapons from her leopard pouch, some as thin as cow hair, and others small and sharp.
The hidden weapons of the Sky Eagle Sect are all exquisite and extremely powerful, worth a fortune. Yin Susu carries a whole bag full of them, relying on overwhelming equipment to dominate the battlefield.
"Hidden Universe in the Sleeve" is specifically designed to counter various hidden weapon techniques. It sounds mysterious, but it's actually just sewing a relatively tough inner pocket inside the sleeve.
By channeling one's inner energy and unfolding one's sleeves, the inner pocket opens like a sack. When an enemy's hidden weapon is shot at, it can be caught by this sack. This is called "Universe in the Sleeve".
Braising water to set tofu is a classic example of one thing subduing another.
If sewing two pockets into a sleeve can neutralize all kinds of hidden weapons, then hidden weapons are far too worthless.
"Hidden Universe in the Sleeve" can only catch larger hidden weapons such as steel darts and sleeve arrows. When facing delicate hidden weapons such as hair-tight needles, it is easy to make trouble for oneself.
The Sky Eagle Cult's "Mosquito Needle" is thinner than a human hair. It is specifically designed to break through "Qiankun Bags" and can also be used to break through protective qigong and strike hidden acupoints.
Yin Susu is all about equipment, while Yang Yan is all about technique. The signature martial arts of the Fairy of the Startling Swan are her lightness skill and her hidden weapon shower of flowers.
Yang Yan didn't have many hidden weapons, but every time she used them, she could make people feel annoyed. In addition, Tang Dun'er kept attacking from mid-air, with sharp teeth and claws that caught people's attention.
The shadowy figure intended to kill Tangdun'er with its chilling finger techniques.
Unfortunately, Tangdun'er is a fire-attribute spirit bird. When the cold, yin-cold finger force enters the body, it turns into bird droppings after one rotation.
"Excuse me, sir, please wait a moment!"
Four figures blocked the shadowy figure's path.
These were four of the Seven Heroes of Wudang whom Zhuge Zhengwo had invited to help him, and they were the four strongest among them.
Senior Brother, Song Yuanqiao;
Second Senior Brother, Yu Lianzhou;
Third senior brother, Yu Daiyan;
Fourth junior brother, Zhang Songxi;
Because the Dragon-Slaying Saber was taken away early on, Yu Daiyan was not involved in these messy affairs and his hands and feet were kept intact. The four heroes of Wudang joined forces, which was by no means just a four-person attack. They had the ultimate technique - the True Martial Seven Intercept Formation!
One day, Zhang Sanfeng saw the tortoise and snake generals in front of the statue of Zhenwu. He thought of Snake Mountain and Tortoise Mountain at the confluence of the Yangtze River and the Han River. He thought that the long snake was agile and the tortoise was solemn. Zhenwu Emperor had a tortoise and a snake on his left and right, which is exactly the combination of the two most spiritual and most heavy things.
He rushed to Hanyang overnight, and gazing at the Snake and Turtle Mountains, he created a set of exquisite martial arts from the winding shape of Snake Mountain and the dignified form of Turtle Mountain. However, the Snake and Turtle Mountains were majestic and powerful, and the martial arts evolved from their shapes were all kinds of powerful and complex, which could not be performed by one person alone.
Zhang Sanfeng divided this kung fu into seven parts and passed them on to the Seven Heroes of Wudang. As long as two people work together, they can unleash power far exceeding their basic abilities by moving according to the formation. If all seven work together, it is equivalent to the combined strength of sixty-four people.
The four heroes of Wudang were invited to help, which was a matter of face for the Wudang sect and could not be underestimated. Song Yuanqiao drew his sword and the four stood in formation. It looked like the Four Symbols Formation, but it was actually the "Round and Straight Formation".
Song Yuanqiao shouted, "Surrender!"
The shadowy figure said coldly, "Song Yuanqiao, I may not be able to beat you, but if I want to run, none of you can catch me! Do you know who I am?"
Yang Yan sneered: "Judging from your movements, you are Cheng Kun, the leader of the Thunderbolt Sect, the Hunyuan Thunderbolt Hand. You later joined Shaolin, so your kung fu bears traces of Shaolin, but your most proficient skill is still the Yin-Cold Finger Technique!"
Cheng Kun ripped off his mask: "That's right! I am Cheng Kun, the Hunyuan Thunderbolt Hand, and also a disciple of Master Kongwen. Yuanzhen, the Wudang Sect has quite a reputation. I wonder what crime you're using to arrest me? Catching a thief with stolen goods or catching an adulterer in the act. I like to wear night clothes in the middle of the night."
Yin Susu said angrily, "You dog, you haven't forgotten about the assassination attempt on Zhao Banshan, have you?"

Cheng Kun said, "My assassination attempt failed!"
Yang Yan added, "You struck Xu Qingya with one finger; I don't need to elaborate on the power of the Yin Finger!"
Cheng Kun said, "I can cure him!"
Yin Susu angrily retorted, "Bullshit! Even if I cut you a hundred times and then heal you, can't I pretend I never did? A mere Yin Finger technique? Tomorrow I'll send three hundred cartloads of salt to Dali and ask a high monk from Tianlong Temple to use the Yin Finger technique to cure any illness. What illness can't be cured?"
"—You spendthrift women!"
Cheng Kun looked at Yin Susu with a face full of regret.
Yang Yan pulled out a token from her bosom: "It wasn't Yang Yan who arrested you, nor the Seven Heroes of Wudang, but the imperial law. This is the token of the Six Doors' Divine Constable. I suspect you are involved in a case. Please come with me to assist in the investigation. Anyone who resists will be killed without exception!"
Cheng Kun scoffed, "Zhuge Zhengwo is truly skilled! He's been waiting for me here! What can you do if you capture me? The plan has begun! No one can stop it! Chaos is destined to ensue in the martial world!"
Yang Yanyi spoke with righteous indignation: "When demons run rampant in the martial world, heroes will naturally emerge, wielding their swords and using the Spring and Autumn Sword Technique to sweep away the demons, help the needy, and restore order to the world. As for you, Cheng Kun, you are one of the demons being swept away. What is there to be proud of?"
"I refuse to believe it!"
Cheng Kun pointed at Zhang Songxi.
The four heroes of Wudang immediately moved according to the formation and used the True Martial Seven Intercept Formation to defend against Cheng Kun. The four heroes of Wudang had a hidden advantage - they were more resistant to cold!
They had all practiced the Wudang Nine Yang Skill, and possessed a pure yang energy within their bodies, which was the best counter to cold poison. Unless it was a cold poison like the Xuanming Divine Palm, which was extremely yin and cold and took effect immediately, they could withstand it with their true qi.
Even if they couldn't defeat Cheng Kun one-on-one, and one person couldn't withstand a single Yin Finger strike, surely four people could? Not to mention there were two people outside constantly launching hidden weapons!
After the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, Cheng Kun was exhausted by the True Martial Seven Intercept Formation. Yang Yan took out a pair of shackles from behind her back, tied Cheng Kun up with ropes, thanked the four heroes of Wudang, and locked Cheng Kun in the Taiji Sect dungeon.
Yang Yan was worried about other places.
I have to see this thing with my own eyes!
Yang Yan used magnetic needles to seal Cheng Kun's acupoints, then handcuffed and strapped him with ankle monitors, not believing that this guy could run away.
After doing all that, Yang Yan and Yin Susu went to Xu Qingya to claim credit, planning to squeeze in for a night with him.
Xu Qingya refused.
—If you two come out of my room, I am still Chunyang Tongzi. Do people in the martial arts world believe that I am the reincarnation of Chunyang Daojun, or do they believe that I am incompetent?
Yang Yan: I didn't think this through!
Yin Susu: Let's talk after you've healed!
The next morning, as everyone was preparing to interrogate Cheng Kun, they suddenly discovered that the handcuffs and shackles binding Cheng Kun had been cut off with a sharp weapon, and Cheng Kun was nowhere to be found. A smiley face was drawn on the wall, which made everyone increasingly angry.
Yang Yan's cheeks flushed red with embarrassment, while Yin Susu was too ashamed to face anyone. What should have been a foolproof plan had turned out like this; how could she possibly save face?
Seeking credit and rewards, they all went to investigate clues.
Zhao Banshan, with his chubby face, leaned closer: "Brother, you're really skilled! Could you teach me? I've been a bachelor for decades, I really can't take it anymore!"
Xu Qingya pointed to his face.
The hardware is so good that no technical skills are needed!
A pure stats monster, even a terrible player can do it!
Zhao Banshan: I'd rather die!
Before the thought had even crossed his mind, Zhao Banshan collapsed, dizzy and disoriented. Xu Qingya was startled and reached out to take Zhao Banshan's pulse, discovering that he had been poisoned. Xu Qingya was not skilled in detoxification, so he immediately ordered his servants to fetch a doctor.
Two hours later, the divine physician detected the toxin.
"Reporting to Young Master, it seems that Third Master Zhao has been poisoned by the poison of the Heartbreak Grass. We are all of limited knowledge and expertise—"
The old doctor was trembling with fear, worried that Xu Qingya would take his anger out on him. Xu Qingya asked, "First, who can cure the poison of the Gelsemium elegans? Second, before I bring the person here, can you stabilize the poison and answer the questions?"
"Stabilizing the poison is not difficult; I'm confident I can do so for half a month. But—but—to tell you the truth, young master, please don't hit me!"
"I never bully the weak!"
"I believe—I believe—of all the renowned physicians within a hundred miles, only the Poisonous Hand Medicine King by Dongting Lake can cure Master Zhao's poison, but the Poisonous Hand Medicine King—"
"Bring them here within five days!"
"Does the young master possess the art of resurrection?"
"The Poison Hand Medicine King is dead, but his disciple is still alive. If I invite his disciple here, won't that cure the poison?"
"I see! Young master, rest assured, the poison will definitely not take effect within fifteen days."
"Please, miracle doctor!"
This is a matter of life and death, and cannot be delayed.
Xu Qingya left a message for Yang Yan and rode his old wine jar south to invite the Poison Hand Medicine King.
Dongting Lake is so big, where can we find people?
There is a White Horse Temple on the shore of Dongting Lake. It is not the luxurious temple in Luoyang, but just an ordinary small temple in the mountains. The Poisonous Hand Medicine King felt that he was too violent and went into seclusion to study Buddhism. It was in this White Horse Temple that he was found. It is not difficult to find him.
There's only one problem!
The Poison Hand Medicine King is dead!
The Poison Hand Medicine King's junior brother is dead!
The disciple of the Poison Hand Medicine King is dead!
I hope Cheng Lingsu is still living here!
Along the way, there were shops belonging to the Sky Eagle Sect and the Linglong Pavilion. Xu Qingya could ask for directions there. The journey was uneventful, and he soon arrived near the White Horse Temple. It was early summer, and the mountains and fields were covered with flowers, a dazzling sight.
Xu Qingya patted the old wine's mane: "After you run a lap around the mountain, even the horse's hooves smell sweet!"
"Slurp slurp!"
The old horse reared up, snorted as if it had caught a whiff of fine wine, and galloped off. Xu Qingya pulled on the reins and brought the horse to a stop.
"Is there some fine wine ahead?"
"Slurp~"
"Is there a mare up ahead?"
"Slurp~ Slurp~"
"You blockhead, you're greedy, lazy, and lecherous! Who did you take after?! Can't you learn something good?"
"Swoosh~~Swoosh~"
"Pfft~"
A silvery laugh came from behind me.
Looking back, a girl in a blue cloth shirt was laughing so hard she couldn't straighten up. The girl had bright eyes, a slender figure, a pale face, and dry hair, as if she had never had enough to eat. She was about sixteen or seventeen years old.
"Girl, do I look ridiculous?"
Having lived in the mountain village for a long time, the young girl had never seen such a handsome young man as Xu Qingya. She had found it amusing to hear Xu Qingya talking to a horse earlier and had laughed out loud, but now that she saw Xu Qingya's appearance, she didn't know how to speak.
"This young master—young master—"
"A good friend of mine has been poisoned. I've heard that the Poison Hand Medicine King lives in seclusion here, and I'd like to ask him to help treat my friend. If he's not here, is his apprentice? As long as he can cure the illness and save the life, that will be enough!"
"To heal the sick and save lives?"
"Is there a problem with that?"
"I think you need medical treatment more than your friend. Your face is pale, but your cheeks are flushed. You have obviously suffered internal injuries and have barely managed to suppress them with medicine. After the long journey, your injuries have not only not improved, but have actually worsened."
"Young lady, you have a keen eye. I suppose you are the disciple of the Poison Hand Medicine King. Since ancient times, doctors have been benevolent. Please come with me to treat my friend."
"What should we do about your illness?"
"Please treat her as well, young lady!"
"A doctor's heart is benevolent, so accompanying you is no problem. However, I have a few things I'd like to ask for your help with. Do you have the time?"
"What's going on? Murder or arson? Is your senior brother here to seize the sect's inheritance? Don't worry, give me the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, and I'll kill them all!"
"Young master, you've given yourself away!"
"What do you mean?"
"You know my master has passed away, otherwise why would he mention fighting for the inheritance? You also know that all of my master's disciples are dead, and I only have one senior brother who studies medicine, while my senior sister studies poisons!"
"Young lady, you are quick-witted! I admire you!"
"May I ask your esteemed name, sir?"
"Xu Qingya, may I ask your name, young lady?"
"My name is—Cheng Lingsu!"
