The Villain's Counterattack

Chapter 555 Call me a crazy Taoist priest or a sloppy Taoist priest

Kou and Xu are the protagonists of destiny, with extraordinary talents and understanding. Fu Jun'er can discover their excellence with just a little guidance. She is surprised and sympathetic, and has some complicated emotions. She thinks it would be great if they were born in Goguryeo.

The Central Plains is a vast land with abundant resources and a wealth of talent. Even such a genius could be buried. If...

Not to mention the complicated feelings in Fu Jun'er's heart, she briefly described the method of Qi cultivation and the mysteries of the Jiuxuan Dafa on the boat, and was then invited over by Song Shidao.

He introduced the beauty to his elders with great joy, but they regarded him as a foreigner at first glance and kept testing him. When Fu Jun'er was tired of dealing with it, Kou Zhong jumped out resolutely to make jokes and won their favor, and he was able to barely deal with it.

At nightfall, Fu Jun'er had a heart-to-heart talk with Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling, and passed on the Nine Profound Arts to them. Unlike the two innocent little guys in the original novel, Kou and Xu now had very good basic knowledge, so Fu Jun'er naturally saved the time of explaining the eight extraordinary meridians and important acupuncture points, and passed on the Nine Profound Arts to them without hesitation.

Although the two were geniuses, they were only just beginning to learn such exquisite internal skills. In addition, Fu Jun'er really liked them, so she was naturally more cautious and explained everything clearly, fearing that there would be any omissions. She would not let them practice until they had understood everything.

Things don't always go as planned. At three o'clock in the morning, the ship suddenly slowed down and a sharp cry could be heard faintly from the shore.

Yu Wenzhi led his troops to chase after us!

Although the Song clan was powerful and Song Que was a renowned master, the Central Plains forces were far inferior to those of the Yuwen clan. However, Song Lu was not afraid of him at all. After a verbal confrontation between the two, the Song clan's ship not only did not approach but instead moved away from the pursuers.

The two exchanged words, each evenly matched. Song Lu was also a master, and while he might not necessarily defeat Yu Wenzhi, he wasn't afraid at all. However, the Song clan's ships were merely merchant vessels, and a single commercial voyage wouldn't involve a large contingent of troops. The numerical disadvantage was significant, which was why Song Lu wanted to stay away from the pursuers.

It is not difficult for a master to cross the river on a reed, but ordinary soldiers and ordinary experts do not have this ability.

Fu Jun'er is also a very competitive person. She was trained as an assassin by the Yijian master Fu Cailin. Because Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty had conquered Goguryeo three times, he was extremely hostile to the Han people. However, humans are very strange creatures. When fate comes, they do not distinguish between family, country and hatred.

Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling seemed like her nemesis. Within a few days, Fu Jun'er fell for them, willingly acknowledging the two children and even offering them the Nine Profound Arts, the unique skill of Yijian master Fu Cailin. However, her hatred for the Han people remained unchanged. For the sake of her two children, she would board the Song clan's ship, but she could not bear to be protected by the Han people.

After hearing what Wenhuaji said, Fu Jun'er knew that she would have to face this powerful enemy in the end, so she shouted and broke out of the window with Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling, and went straight to the other side of the river and quickly went away.

"Third Uncle." Song Shidao was extremely anxious and quickly turned his gaze towards Song Lu. The latter paused slightly while stroking his beard, then shook his head gently and said, "That's fine. After all, it's not good to break up with the Yuwen clan."

Seeing Yu Wenzhi's troops stop, the Song clan members felt a little complicated. Seeing that the people they were chasing had left the Song clan's ship, Yu Wenzhi did not want to make things too awkward with the Song clan, so he took the initiative to stop chasing the Song clan's ship.

"Not good!" Song Shidao suddenly shouted loudly, and saw a figure walking on the water and quickly crossing the river on the opposite side of the river. It was Yu Wenzhi.

Seeing Song Shidao's pleading look, Song Lu felt helpless. His previous excuse of protecting the cargo on the ship to avoid Yu Wenhuaji was reasonable, but taking the initiative to confront him now was wrong, which was extremely disadvantageous to the Song family. He could only helplessly say, "Miss Fu is of extraordinary background and has great martial arts skills. If she can hide the two brothers Kou and Xu well and lure Yu Wenhuaji away alone, she will probably be able to deal with it. After all..."

What after all?

After all, there was only one person on the other side, and Fu Jun'er's martial arts skills were not weak, and her lightness skills were even more exquisite. She was not comparable to the children of aristocratic families who had high martial arts skills but did not have much practical experience.

Watching Yu Wenzhi and the Song clan's ship pass by each other, Song Lu finally chose not to take action.

Silence reigned all around. With fewer pursuers, the boat gradually slowed down. Suddenly, a clear and pleasant voice echoed from the moonlit river: "Boatman, have you seen these two handsome yet slick and scoundrel boys?"

I saw a bamboo raft and a big ship traveling side by side on the river. The surging river was surging, but the small bamboo raft was as steady as Mount Tai and did not shake at all. On the bamboo raft, a slim woman wearing a conical hat and a snow-white dress was holding a bamboo pole and looking at Song Lu and others with a smile. At the other end of the bamboo raft, a sloppy old man was lying horizontally with his eyes half-closed, sipping the wine gently, half drunk and half awake, feeling lazy and comfortable.

The woman in white lightly touched the water surface with the bamboo pole. The pole went into the water for three inches. Without any effort, the bamboo raft moved forward steadily, closely following the big boat without falling behind. This made Song Lu, the martial arts master, brighten his eyes.

This woman is extraordinary!

"Excuse me, young lady, who are you? What is your relationship with the two brothers Kou and Xu?" Song Lu was also a smart man. He could tell at a glance that these two were extraordinary, but he did not directly reveal the information he knew. He secretly wondered in his heart what secrets Fu Jun'er and Kou Xu had that attracted so many people to pursue them.

The woman in white smiled sweetly and said, "I'm Feng Zhenzhen, the younger generation. I'm considered the older sister of those two naughty boys, Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling. I take time out to look after them. They disappeared a few days ago, and after asking around, I learned they'd gotten into trouble again because of their sneaky behavior. That's why I followed the pursuers all the way here. I wonder..."

Without waiting for Song Lu to respond, Song Shidao hurriedly said, "Hello, Miss Feng. I'm here to greet you, Song Shidao. The two young brothers Kou and Xu were guests on the boat, but were taken away by Miss Fu a few moments ago. They are now being hunted by that government expert. Please, Miss, please rescue them as soon as possible."

Upon hearing this, Feng Zhenzhen bowed slightly to Song Shidao and thanked him. She then asked where they left from and said goodbye politely. She then gently drew a small circle with the bamboo pole, and the bamboo raft turned 180 degrees on the spot, and then quickly went upstream.

"Grandpa Zhang, it's all your fault for being a heavy drinker. If I had to find some good wine for you..."

The old man on the bamboo raft burped and said lazily, "Don't call me Grandpa Zhang. I'm just an old Taoist. You can call me the Crazy Taoist or the Sloppy Taoist. You must be asking for something every time you call me Grandpa Zhang. I'm not Xiaoyaozi or the old ghost covered in treasures, but I have nothing to offer you."

Feng Zhenzhen stamped her feet and said coquettishly, "How can I be so utilitarian? You are the protector of Brother Kou and Brother Xu, and now they..."

The slovenly old Taoist waved his hands and snorted, "How can I be called a protector? I was just tricked by the old ghost Xiaoyaozi, so I agreed to watch over them until their opportunity came. Now they are almost free. Don't worry, girl. Those two boys have extremely strong fates and will not die young. They have reached the stage of making the leap to great heights and are about to soar. Going too early will only ruin their luck."

"Hasn't Grandpa Zhang always disbelieved in fate? Could it be that he's just trying to make excuses for his drunkenness?"

"Haha, I don't believe in fate. It's probably because at my level, fate can no longer bind me. Even the old ghost Xiaoyaozi couldn't see through my fate. But it's different for you youngsters. That old ghost said those two kids soared to the sky after the incident, so they wouldn't die young. Otherwise, he wouldn't have accepted them as nominal disciples so early, and he wouldn't have planned for me to stay and look after them. Now that I think about it, you fell into that old ghost's trap. Seeing a ghost's tough life is just an adult playing a child's game. There are ghosts when there's danger."

The voice gradually faded, and Song Shidao, Song Lu and others on the big ship looked at each other. They had never heard of the names of the Three Crazy Taoists and the Sloppy Taoists, but Xiaoyaozi was no secret to the top leaders of the big forces.

"Are the two young brothers Kou and Xu Daoist Master Xiaoyaozi's registered disciples? But..." Song Shidao's expression was slightly strange, and Song Lu almost pulled out a strand of his beard. He glanced around and whispered, "This matter is strictly confidential. No one is allowed to spread it. If..."
