When Linghu Chong was knocked off the cliff that day, he thought that he would die for sure. Who knew that when he woke up, he found himself lying on a bed. He looked around and found that it was a small wooden house. A little girl about ten years old was boiling medicine. When she saw Linghu Chong wake up, she went forward and said,"You are seriously injured. Don't move. I will go and find Grandpa now!"”
Linghu Chong felt very uncomfortable. Zuo Lengchan had sealed all his acupoints on the Fengshan Platform with his Ice True Qi, and then he had absorbed all his power. He had lost all his power and was seriously injured. Although he had survived the disaster, he was already a cripple. At this moment, the old man came to the wooden house. This person was in his seventies, but he looked very energetic. He was not like an ordinary old man. He walked with light steps.
The old man went up to take Linghu Chong's pulse and said," Young man, you were seriously injured and fell beside the pool. My granddaughter and I went up the mountain to pick herbs and found you, so we saved you."
Linghu Chong quickly thanked him,"Thank you, old senior. I will never forget your kindness!"”The old man touched his pale hair and said," What old senior? I'm just an old man, not a senior. My surname is Zhang. If you don't mind, you can call me Uncle Zhang!"”
Linghu Chong remembered that he still had things to do. Dongfang still didn't know that he was still alive. He didn't know how she was doing. On Mount Song, Dongfang was injured by Zuo Lengchan to protect him. He didn't know how her injuries were. No, I have to find her now! Ling Huchong got up with difficulty and said,"Uncle Zhang, thank you for saving my life, but I have something very important to do now, so I have to leave."
"Young man, your injuries are very serious. You can't walk. I don't think you can walk out of this house with your own strength!”Linghu Chong had only taken two steps when he felt his legs go soft and he almost fell. It was the little girl who came forward to support him. Linghu Chong still struggled to stand up.
At this moment, the old man slowly stepped forward and supported Ling Huchong, saying,"Young man, what can you do with your current body? If I'm not wrong, you've been hunted down by your enemies. I can see the righteousness in your eyes, so I believe you're not a bad person. If you trust me, stay with me for a few days and I promise to heal your injuries."
Ling Huchong thought for a moment and said,"In that case, I'll have to trouble you." He thought to himself, Dongfang, you must wait for me. I'll come and find you after I recover!
After an unknown period of time, the little girl bounced over and said," It's time to eat, big brother!”Linghu Chong wanted to get up, but the little girl immediately came to help her and helped him to eat. Seeing that there were only two or three dishes on the table, most of them were vegetarian, wild vegetables, potatoes, etc. Uncle Zhang signaled Linghu Chong to sit down and eat. Linghu Chong asked in confusion," Uncle Zhang, why are we the only three eating?”
Uncle Zhang sighed and said," Our family has been practicing medicine for generations. My son and daughter-in-law passed away a few years ago when they were treating the plague for the villagers in the town, leaving only a daughter and me to rely on each other!”
Seeing this, Linghu Chong didn't ask any more questions and began to eat. After eating for a while, a farmer came over with a basket of eggs and said to the old man,"Uncle Zhang, this is the egg my wife asked me to send to you. It's for your granddaughter to nourish her body." After he finished speaking, he put down the egg and left. Uncle Zhang exchanged a few pleasantries with him before sitting down to eat again. Seeing Linghu Chong's puzzled face, he said," This is a small mountain village. If a villager has a disease, I'll go and treat him. Because we're all villagers and don't have much money, I don't usually charge money. Most of the herbs are picked from the mountains, and these villagers will often send some vegetables and fruits." Linghu Chong nodded and said,"So it's like this!"”
After three days, Linghu Chong's injuries had already recovered by half. On this night, a bright moon hung in the sky. Linghu Chong sat alone in front of the small wooden house, in a daze. At this time, his mind was filled with the East. He wished he could grow a pair of wings to find her. However, if he went to her side, Zuo Lengchan would definitely use him to threaten her. If he lost all his martial arts, the East would definitely risk his life for him again. What should I do? I, Linghu Chong, was hailed as a hero by the world, but now I have become a burden to the East. I have lost all my martial arts and am no different from a cripple. Thinking of this, he picked up a stone and threw it on the fence in the distance. At this time, Uncle Zhang came back from outside. Seeing that Linghu Chong was full of worries, he was not in a good mood. He took out a pot of wine from the medicine box and handed it to Linghu Chong. Linghu Chong looked at Uncle Zhang in surprise.
Uncle Zhang said," This is a pot of wine that someone gave me when I was just treating a patient. I see that you have a lot on your mind recently. This pot of wine will help you solve the troubles in your heart!”
Linghu Chong held the wine and looked at the moon in the sky. Uncle Zhang saw this and said," Don't worry, drinking some wine won't affect your injuries. There's cold air invading your body. Drinking some wine will be beneficial to your injuries." With that, he went into the house.
Ling Huchong took out his flute as he drank. It was the only thing he could use to reminisce about the East. He put down the wine pot and started playing the song," Long Yearning." In the past, when he played this song with Dongfang, the flute was full of affection, but today's flute was particularly sad and sorrowful. Ling Huchong put all his thoughts into the flute, and the flute was so euphemistic that it made people want to cry after listening to it.
After the song was played, Linghu Chong picked up the wine pot and took a big gulp. Because he drank too much, he choked. Uncle Zhang had long been attracted by the flute and stood outside the door for a long time. He patted Linghu Chong's shoulder and said," Young man, I see that you are unhappy. You have a heavy heart!" "If you don't mind that I'm a country bumpkin, you can tell me what's on your mind. That way, you'll feel better."
Linghu Chong sat down and sighed." Uncle Zhang, I miss my lover. I wonder how she is at this moment. I was framed by a traitor and fell off a cliff, hoping that she wouldn't take things too hard. I was worried that she would want to look for her, but I was afraid that if I went, I would become a burden to her, so I was conflicted."
"Young Master is from the martial world? May I know which sect it is?" Uncle Zhang asked.
"I was originally a disciple of Mount Hua, but later, by chance, I became the sect master of the Heng Mountain Sect. Uncle Zhang, are you also interested in the martial world?”Linghu Chong didn't understand why a village elder would ask about Jianghu.
" This old man has a question to ask. Young Master Wang, tell me the truth." The old man said as he looked at the moon with a dazed expression.
"Uncle Zhang, if you have something to ask, I will definitely tell you everything I know!”
"According to the pulse I took when I saved you that day, your internal energy was completely destroyed and someone injected a stream of true qi into you. This true qi is extremely cold and has already injured your heart meridian because it has been in your body for too long.”Uncle Zhang did not look like a mountain villager at all. Linghu Chong was surprised that an old man from a mountain village knew about internal energy and could even detect the frost qi in his body from his pulse.
Ling Huchong didn't think much of it and said," I was harmed by the former sect leader of Mount Song Sect, Zuo Lengchan. He first injected his Ice True Qi into my body, then used the Star Assimilation Technique to absorb all my internal energy. I fell off the cliff of Mount Song, so I came here."
Uncle Zhang suddenly stood up and said," As expected, it's really the Star Absorbing Great Art!”
"Uncle Zhang, how do you know about the Star Assimilation Technique?”
"Don't ask. Let me ask you. This Star Absorbing Grand Magic is a peerless secret manual of the Sun Moon Sect. How did he, the Sect Leader of Mount Song Sect, learn it?”Uncle Zhang looked at Linghu Chong with determination.
Ling Huchong then told him about how he had met Ren Woxing at the Plum Blossom Manor at West Lake and learned the Star Absorbing Skill. He then told him about how Zuo Lengchan had also learned the Star Absorbing Skill because he had not destroyed the words on the steel bed. After that, he asked," Uncle Zhang, I have answered all the questions you asked me. Can you tell me how you know so much? Not to mention that you are not a Jianghu person, even ordinary Jianghu people rarely know the origin of the Star Absorbing Skill."”
Uncle Zhang completely ignored Linghu Chong's answer and continued to ask," According to what Young Master said just now, your lover was the former Sun Moon Sect Master, and now he is fighting against Zuo Lengchan, who has learned the Sunflower Manual and the Origin Divine Skill?”
Ling Huchong nodded and said," I wanted him to live well. I asked her to avenge me the moment I fell off the cliff. I think she was thinking of ways to kill Zuo Lengchan to avenge me, but now Zuo Lengchan's internal strength is unfathomable. It's not easy for Dongfang to defeat her!"”
Uncle Zhang nodded, as if he had confirmed something, and then said to Linghu Chong," Please follow me, Young Master!”
Linghu Chong also wanted to figure out the old man's real identity, so he followed him into the room. Uncle Zhang entered the room and opened the mechanism at the bedside. Suddenly, a door appeared on the wall. It turned out that there was a secret room in the wooden house. Uncle Zhang guided Linghu Chong slowly into it. Linghu Chong was getting more and more confused. The words of an ordinary-looking old man sounded like a master. A small farmer's wooden house actually had a secret room. Linghu Chong followed Uncle Zhang into the secret room. Uncle Zhang lit the candles in the secret room, then lit three incense sticks and said," My ancestors, my unfilial grandson, Zhang XX, can finally complete the task that my ancestors gave me today!”
Linghu Chong looked at the memorial tablet. On it was written," Ming Cult's 34th Leader, Zhang Wuji!"
