Martial Arts: Starting from a Seemingly Real System

Liu Xinyue handed Qiao Rui a painting, which outlined the head of a masked woman with just a few strokes.

Although the woman had her face covered, her almond-shaped eyes were frosty and her temperament was cold and elegant, revealing an indifference that kept people at a distance. There was a small red mole between her eyebrows, also known as a beauty mole, which made her easy to recognize.

Qiao Rui saw at a glance that who else could it be but Jiang Xueyun, whom he had been thinking about day and night and searching for? He asked tremblingly, "Where did you get the portrait from?"

"Ling Yun asked someone to send it." Liu Xinyue replied, "This was also sent at the same time. I haven't had time to read the letter inside!" As she spoke, she handed an opened envelope to Qiao Rui.

Qiao Rui took out the letter and read it eagerly.

"My sister Xin Yue, I am glad to receive your letter!

On August 18th last year, I met a woman in Shu by chance. Her name was Jiang Xueyun. She asked me where the Medicine King Valley was, but then she disappeared.

That day I learned that you and Qiao Rui were both looking for Jiang Xueyun. I wonder if it is this woman, so I have attached a portrait for your identification.

I didn't want to tell you to avoid unnecessary trouble for you, but I thought that you are open-minded, bright and sincere, and you would not want to hide this for your own selfish reasons. I was afraid that you would blame me in the future, so I asked someone to deliver this message, hoping that it would help you fulfill your wish.

After we parted at Mount Huashan, I don’t know when we will meet again. I am sad and miss you very much. If you are happy, I will be at ease. I hope everything goes well for me and all my wishes come true!

Brother: Ling Yun’s own handwriting! "

"It's really Xue Yun. She is looking for Yaowang Valley. Is she injured? No, I have to go to Yaowang Valley to find out." Qiao Rui was anxious. It was the first time in more than a year that he got a definite clue about Xue Yun. He had to go to Yaowang Valley no matter what. He handed the letter in his hand to Liu Xinyue and turned away.

"What's wrong?" Liu Xinyue followed Qiao Rui and left. After quickly reading the letter while walking, she pursed her lips and said, "I'll go help you pack your luggage."

Looking at the two people who left in a hurry, Leng Wanqiu frowned slightly and couldn't help but sigh, "I really don't understand these young people. This silly girl is afraid that she will be wronged again..."

Feng Wuya, who was standing aside, had a gloomy expression on his face. "Back in Shushan, I was angry at Qiao Rui's romantic life and his entanglement with many women. I deliberately concealed Xin Yue's news because I didn't want her to get hurt. I didn't expect that she would end up with Qiao Rui. What an injustice!"

In the backyard, Liu Xinyue handed the packed luggage to Qiao Rui, then took the child from Qiao Rui, looked at Qiao Rui gently and said, "Go early and come back early, be careful on the road!"

The child was named Qiao Zekai. He was sleeping soundly at this moment. He looked quiet and cute. He looked very much like Liu Xinyue, but his nose was like Qiao Rui's, tall and straight, very beautiful.

Qiao Rui stretched out his index finger and gently touched the child's fair face, and said softly: "I will come back to pick you and your mother up after I finish my work, and then we will go back to Longxing City together!"

"Well, Zekai and I will wait for you!" Liu Xinyue responded softly. She didn't know whether Qiao Rui was referring to their family of three or Jiang Xueyun when he said we. But since they were already married, she would follow her husband wherever he goes. She believed that Qiao Rui would not let her down.

"I'm sorry for wronging you!" Qiao Rui gently embraced Liu Xinyue and the child in his arms and kissed them deeply.

After a long time, they parted lips, and Qiao Rui went down the mountain without hesitation, holding the Cloud Patterned Moon-Chopping Sword, riding the Wind-Chasing Black Dragon Horse, and headed straight for Chang'an.

I found the shopkeeper at the Chang'an Coach and Horse Shop and told him about the cooperation between the Huashan Sect and the Qingtian Guards in forging weapons. The shopkeeper said that he would report the matter and try to inform him as soon as there was a result.

Qiao Rui did not delay any longer. He left Chang'an and entered Shu along the Baoxiade Road, and rode his horse straight to Yaowang Valley.

At the waiting pavilion outside Yaowang Valley, Qiao Rui rang the jade chime. Even though he was extremely anxious, he could only wait quietly. Fortunately, the medicine boy who was supposed to pick him up appeared in the passage soon.

"Someone has come into the valley to seek medical treatment this ten days. You should go back and come back early in the second half of the month!" The indifferent voice of the medicine boy was heard in the foggy passage.

Medicine King Valley only made a move once in ten days, so the Four Heavenly Kings must have come in to seek medical treatment. Qiao Rui smiled and said, "I am not seeking medical treatment. Please tell Miss Huang Jinyu that Qiao Rui wants to see you."

"Huh? Wait!" The medicine boy was a little surprised, but still turned around and went into the valley to report.

After a while, the sound of hurried footsteps was heard in the passage, and a figure was faintly visible and moving quickly. It slowly stopped at the entrance of the passage, and then walked out of the miasma passage gracefully and quietly to the octagonal pavilion.

"Brother Qiao!"

The person who came was Huang Jinyu. I haven't seen her for more than half a year. The girl has become more beautiful, charming and graceful, with spring in her eyes like peach blossoms in March, bright and dazzling.

"Why did you come out directly? What if there is danger outside?" Qiao Rui asked with a little blame. Huang Jinyu's martial arts skills are low. If someone tricks her out of the valley like this, she will inevitably suffer.

"I'm not afraid with you here!" Huang Jinyu smiled sweetly, came over, took Qiao Rui's arm and went back into the valley.

Qiao Rui shook his head and laughed, but he could not deny that it felt good to be trusted by others.

"Brother Qiao, why did you come so soon? Didn't the letter say that you had to go to Tianshan to collect herbs first?" Huang Jinyu walked briskly, his face full of joy.

"Well, I came here because of something urgent." Qiao Rui replied vaguely, and changed the subject to ask: "Since you have received my letter, I believe the Four Heavenly Kings have already entered the valley. Does the Shuangjue Patriarch have any way to heal Cai Ling'er's injury?"

"It's a small problem. I can cure it without any help from Master!" Huang Jinyu said easily, with a hint of arrogance in her words as if she was showing off to people close to her.

"Oh? Jin Yu is really amazing. He deserves the title of Little Medical Fairy!" Qiao Rui praised.

As they were talking, the two of them came out of the miasma passage. A medicine boy came and took the Lilong horse away to make other arrangements, while Qiao Rui followed Huang Jinyu back to Xiaojing Lake.

The valley is filled with green willows, pink peach blossoms, singing birds and fragrant flowers, which is refreshing. The breeze is filled with the fragrance of flowers and plants, and the unique virgin fragrance of the girl standing close to you, mixed with the scent of medicinal herbs, is so intoxicating.

"Hehehehe!" Huang Jinyu laughed smugly a few times before explaining, "Sister Cai's body has an extremely cold and yin poison, which needs to be treated with extremely yang energy. I heard that your yang internal force can only suppress it but not eliminate it, which only means that your yang energy is not pure enough and has not reached the number of nine yangs."

"Nine Yang?" Qiao Rui was stunned and thought of the Nine Yang Divine Art.

"Yes, nine is the number of the extreme, and nine yangs are the extreme of yang, the strongest, the most yang, the most refined, and the purest." Huang Jinyu smiled sweetly, her beautiful eyes shining. "Take the sun of a day as an example. The morning sun is pure and warm, the noon sun is fierce and strong, and the evening sun is long and meaningful. The morning, noon, and evening are each divided into three yangs. Only when these nine yangs are combined into one can it be the ultimate yang."

"So that's how it is!" Qiao Rui sighed. The combination of his many masculine inner forces was deep and long-lasting, strong and domineering enough, but not pure enough. He was probably lacking the Wudang Nine Yang. He heard that the Wudang Nine Yang was extremely pure and condensed, and above it was the Pure Yang Wuji, which was pure and unparalleled in the world. It seemed that if he wanted to reach the level of the Nine Yang, he would have to find a way to go to Wudang.

Arriving at Huang Jinyu's Jinghu Courtyard, Cai Ling'er was lying on a rocking chair in a loose, thin shirt, sleeping, looking very comfortable.

Hearing the noise, Cai Ling'er opened her sleepy eyes and saw Qiao Rui coming in. She didn't care and yawned and greeted him casually, "Here you come!"

"Well, where are Zhuo Yifei and the others?" Qiao Rui asked when he didn't see the other Four Heavenly Kings.

"Ancestor Shuangjue is out visiting friends and asked my cousins ​​to serve him along the way!" Cai Ling'er said.

"What? Patriarch Shuangjue is not in Yaowang Valley?" Qiao Rui exclaimed, with a hint of anxiety in his voice.
