"Are you sure your men aren't exaggerating?" Luo Huazi questioned sharply.
Uncle Yao shuddered. "No, no, absolutely not! Fellow Daoists, the people I sent to monitor were all professional Vietnamese soldiers who had participated in coups in some African countries. Their combat and observation skills were extremely strong, and they had iron discipline. There was no way they would lie!"
The Taoist priests, including Luoyangzi and Luohuazi, exchanged tense glances.
“If those Vietnamese soldiers weren’t exaggerating, then it’s enough to prove that the old woman and the middle-aged man’s martial arts skills have reached…the same level as our sect leader! At least that level! Who exactly are they?” Luo Huazi said, trembling with fear.
“Senior Brother Luo Huazi, could it be some powerful rogue cultivators? After learning that our Qingcheng Sect issued the 'Kill All of the Three Mountains and Five Peaks' order, they were after our Qingcheng Sect's high-grade pills, which is why they attacked Gao Jianfei? If that's the case, it saves us a lot of trouble!” Luo Yangzi said.
"Hmm... that possibility cannot be ruled out." Luo Huazi nodded slightly.
"Well then, esteemed Taoist priests, I will immediately have my men track down that tricycle and keep a close watch on its movements. Then, I will have my men pay their respects to the middle-aged man and the old woman and have them bring Gao Jianfei to my villa," Uncle Yao said obsequiously.
"Hmph! Don't do anything reckless!" Luo Huazi reprimanded him tensely, coldly, and seriously. "If they really have such good skills, they are definitely terrifying people. Such people have very eccentric tempers! Tell your thugs not to provoke them. What you need to do is follow them to their residence, then tell us the address. Our Qingcheng Sect will naturally send someone to meet with them!"
“Yes, yes, I understand, Daoist Master,” Uncle Yao said repeatedly.
…… …… ……
As dusk settles in.
The tricycle wobbled along, finally reaching P County, far from the city of D. Then, it drove out of the county seat and into a rural-urban fringe area, a slum filled with single-story houses.
The tricycle pulled up to the outside of a single-story house with a large courtyard. The middle-aged man helped the old woman off the tricycle, then smiled at Gao Jianfei, "Doctor, you can get off too, we've arrived."
His attitude was fairly respectful.
Gao Jianfei breathed a slight sigh of relief. He could now basically separate this mother and son from the Qingcheng Sect. They weren't members of the Qingcheng Sect at all. Moreover, during the car ride, Gao Jianfei had deliberately brought up the Qingcheng Sect, and the mother and son had shown some disdain for it.
The tricycle pulled into the courtyard and parked. The old woman personally invited Gao Jianfei into the house. The middle-aged man then carried the women of the Emei Sect out of the tricycle one by one.
Gao Jianfei quickly warned, "Don't hurt them!"
The middle-aged man chuckled, "Hehe, miracle doctor, you don't need to tell me, I wouldn't bear to hurt them!" As he finished speaking, a lecherous smile inadvertently crept onto his lips.
Gao Jianfei felt a chill run down his spine... Could it be that this guy was a lecher?
Gao Jianfei was quite worried for the five dignified and beautiful young women from the Emei Sect, including Li Yun, because just now, that middle-aged man seemed to have said... that he only liked young women, not young girls!
Gao Jianfei cautiously followed the old woman into the bungalow. Inside, a 30-watt light bulb shone. On an old bed, an old man lay supine, coughing incessantly, his breath very weak.
The middle-aged man effortlessly carried the seven Emei women, who were completely immobile and unable to speak, into another room. Then, the middle-aged man ran into this room, rubbing his hands together, and said to Gao Jianfei, "Divine Doctor, please take a look at my father!"
"Damn! They really came here for a medical checkup!" Gao Jianfei's heart, which had been hanging in suspense, finally settled back into place!
If someone needs his medical skills, then without a doubt, the initiative will fall into his hands!
"Hmm, okay, I'll take a look," Gao Jianfei said slowly and deliberately.
At this moment, the old woman and the middle-aged man seemed a little nervous and awkward, and both said to Gao Jianfei in a flattering tone, "Then we'll have to trouble you, Divine Doctor!"
"Hmm, no problem, no problem," Gao Jianfei replied indifferently, then sat down on the edge of the bed and looked at the old man by the light.
The old man's face was gaunt, his cheeks so thin they looked as if they'd been carved by a knife, and his eye sockets were sunken. His breath was barely audible, and his eyes opened and closed slightly. "Cough cough, are you a doctor?"
"Yes, yes, old man, you're saved! You're saved this time!" The old woman hurriedly snatched the medicine, her eyes filled with concern. "That foreign devil Thomson's Heart-Severing Palm Technique and that rich man Zhuge Gan'en's Vermilion Palm Technique were both cured by this doctor. He is skilled at treating internal injuries and poisoning. Old man, you're saved!"
Upon hearing the old woman's words, a sudden realization struck Gao Jianfei... Ah! So, it turns out that this family was the one who injured Zhuge Ganen and Mr. Thomson!
No wonder! Thomson and Zhuge Ganen are just ordinary people. How could their bodies be injured by the internal martial arts force for no reason?
Then, a bead of cold sweat seeped from Gao Jianfei's forehead... Damn it, this family is clearly no good! In their search for a doctor, they actually injured innocent people from the secular world! They've gone to great lengths!
"Doctor, please take a look at me," the old woman and the middle-aged man urged in unison.
Gao Jianfei nodded reservedly, lifted the old man's right wrist, and gently placed three fingers on the wrist pulse.
Gao Jianfei narrowed his eyes slightly as he took the pulse while simultaneously thinking and analyzing the situation.
The middle-aged man and the old woman didn't dare to breathe, nervously watching Gao Jianfei from the side.
The room was very quiet.
Ten minutes later, Gao Jianfei opened his eyes and said, "My meridians are blocked, and my heart meridian was almost broken. It seems to have been injured by... a kind of soft palm technique. In addition, my spleen and liver seem to have been injured by the Vajra Palm... Well, I was attacked by two kinds of palm forces at the same time, so I am seriously injured and my life is not long!"
Gao Jianfei's medical skills, inherited from Hu Qingniu, specialize in treating internal injuries. He can accurately analyze the various palm strikes based on the injured person's pulse!
"Ah! Yes, yes, yes, yes! He really is a miracle doctor! He really is a miracle doctor!" the old woman shouted frantically. "He was indeed injured by those scoundrels from the Wudang and Shaolin sects working together! My husband was injured by a combined attack from masters from these two major sects!"
"Hiss!" Gao Jianfei gasped... Damn, how powerful is this old man? To be injured by a combined attack from masters of Shaolin and Wudang? You know, to suffer such an injury, one must be qualified! How could an ordinary person be worthy of being attacked by masters from both Shaolin and Wudang?
Gao Jianfei didn't know exactly how powerful the Shaolin and Wudang sects were, but all the martial arts novels and movies he had read told him one thing...
Shaolin and Wudang, these are incredibly powerful forces!
"Miracle doctor, please heal my husband quickly! Please heal him quickly!" the old woman pleaded anxiously.
At this very moment...
Outside the door!
"Luo Huazi, Luo Yangzi, Luo Chunzi, and Luo Feizi from the Lower Qingcheng Sect request an audience with the two seniors!"
A clear, melodious voice rang out from outside.
"Hmm?" The old woman frowned. "Why have the Qingcheng Sect people followed me to my house?"
Gao Jianfei was shocked. He thought to himself, "Damn it, the Qingcheng Sect and Uncle Yao are really powerful. They brought me to this county town and they arrived right away!"
Gao Jianfei's mind raced, a cold smile creeping onto his lips. He quickly said, "I am absolutely certain I can cure the old man's illness, and in all the world, I am probably the only one who can restore him to his former state!"
"Ah? The miracle doctor truly has miraculous healing skills! Please, miracle doctor, hurry and cure him!" the old woman and the middle-aged man said eagerly. The old woman even affectionately held Gao Jianfei's hand, "As long as the miracle doctor can heal my husband's injuries, our whole family will be eternally grateful! We will absolutely not mistreat the miracle doctor!"
"Sure, sure." Gao Jianfei chuckled coldly.
"Senior, please grant us an audience!" Outside, four Taoist priests from the Qingcheng Sect continued to speak.
"Damn it, stop talking!" The middle-aged man sneered and stood up.
Gao Jianfei seized the opportunity and said, "If you want me to cure the old man, that's not difficult. The people from the Qingcheng Sect are very annoying. Go and kill those Taoists outside!"
"Hmm?" The old woman and the middle-aged man both frowned. "Divine doctor, are you going to kill them?"
Judging from the expressions of the mother and son, if they were simply asked to teach the Qingcheng Sect a lesson, they would have rushed out to carry it out immediately. But now that they are asked to kill someone, they probably have some reservations.
Gao Jianfei immediately released the old man's hand, crossed his legs, lit a cigarette, and shouted, "Kill!"
The mother and son exchanged a glance, and the old woman gritted her teeth, "Zhuang'er, didn't you hear what the divine doctor said? Kill them all, and be clean with your hands!"
"Yes, Mother!" A cold killing intent flashed in the middle-aged man's eyes. He finally made up his mind and walked out.
soon……
"Friend, you... ah!"
"Ah! You...you're too vicious, your attack hurts...ah!"
"ah!"
"ah!"
After a few screams, everything returned to calm.
"Divine doctor, they've all been killed, not one escaped." The middle-aged man went straight back into the house, carrying a limp Taoist corpse on each of his left and right shoulders, and another corpse in each of his hands.
Gao Jianfei was utterly shocked... This middle-aged man had only been gone for less than half a minute when he had killed four Taoist priests from the Qingcheng Sect!
This skill is truly unimaginable!
"Alright, Zhuang'er, take the bodies out and bury them. Underneath my datura plants, they'll serve as fertilizer," the old woman said casually. It was as if her son had killed not four people, but four dogs and four cats!
Before killing anyone, the old woman had some reservations, but once she started, she completely let go.
"Damn it, this family must have killed countless internal martial arts masters before!" Gao Jianfei's palms were drenched in cold sweat. "Damn it, luckily they needed my help. If they had wanted to kill me, I probably would have been done for just now! Even the Emei Sect couldn't protect me!"
Chapter 283 Gao Jianfei, save me!
Chapter 283 Gao Jianfei, save me!
Gao Jianfei appeared, his feelings somewhat complicated...
On one hand, he was increasingly realizing just how formidable and domineering this family of three was! They could kill without batting an eye. Their martial prowess was something Gao Jianfei had never even heard of before! And this injured old man, once he recovered, would likely be even stronger than the old woman and the middle-aged man! Gao Jianfei hesitated, wondering if healing the old man would cause trouble.
On the other hand, Gao Jianfei had just experienced the thrill of using someone else to do his dirty work! That feeling was truly wonderful!
Gao Jianfei had met Luo Yangzi and Luo Huazi before; they were both arrogant and powerful figures. However, in front of this mysterious family, they could only accept being instantly killed!
"Well, in any case, this family currently needs my medical skills, so I might as well make good use of their martial arts. How satisfying! Hehe, Qingcheng Sect, you didn't expect this, did you? My medical skills are like a sharp knife that kills without drawing blood!"
After thinking for a moment, Gao Jianfei said, "Grandma, treating Grandpa's injuries is not a difficult task. However, now that we have injured the Qingcheng Sect members, their helpers will come knocking on our door soon, which is quite troublesome. Why don't we go somewhere else?"
The old woman chuckled, "No need to change!"
After saying that, the old lady gave Gao Jianfei a mysterious smile. Then, she suddenly reached under the wooden bed where the old man was lying and groped around for a few moments. Immediately, a rattling sound, like the rattling of gears, came from under the bed.
Immediately afterward, right under Gao Jianfei's nose, a section of the wall next to the bed caved in, revealing a dark space!
"Huh? This...this is a hidden door?" Gao Jianfei exclaimed in horror.
The old woman smiled without saying a word, her face beaming with smug satisfaction.
Soon, the middle-aged man buried the bodies of the four Taoist priests and returned to his room.
The old woman instructed, "Zhuang'er, carry all those women from the Emei Sect into the secret room! Your father, the divine doctor, and I will go into the secret room together."
“Yes, Mother,” the middle-aged man nodded.
So, the middle-aged man first carried the seven Emei Sect women one by one into the hidden door against the wall. Inside the hidden door was clearly a different world, quite spacious. When the middle-aged man carried Nie Xiaoxia and Zheng Cuiyun into the hidden door, Gao Jianfei noticed that both girls were looking at him, their eyes darting around, clearly trying to convey something to him.
They were terrified and frightened, but at the same time, they begged Gao Jianfei for help!
Their martial arts skills were better than Gao Jianfei's, but at this moment, they were vulnerable women, crying out for help to a man!
Gao Jianfei couldn't help but say, "Don't worry, I will protect you."
The middle-aged man turned around, smiled at Gao Jianfei, and said, "Divine Doctor, are these your two lovers? Very good, very good. Don't worry, I generally won't do anything to young girls. Hehe." After saying that, he carried the girls away.
The next time, the middle-aged man came up again and carried the old man down as well.
Then, the old woman, carrying a powerful flashlight, and Gao Jianfei stepped into the space behind the hidden door.
The moment they stepped into the space, lights suddenly illuminated the area below, revealing everything behind the hidden door in perfect detail!
Gao Jianfei was standing on a long stone staircase leading down. On either side of the staircase were uneven, pitted walls; clearly, this narrow tunnel had been dug by man!
The old woman fumbled around on the wall and found a mechanism knob. She turned it, and the hidden door clicked shut.
"Ahem, Divine Doctor, a cunning rabbit has three burrows. Our family has offended quite a few people in the internal martial arts circle, so we need a place to hide. Please forgive us." The old woman chuckled a few times, quite pleased with herself.
