Chapter 59 Expelled from the Sect
After Yue Yuan finished demonstrating his swordsmanship, he looked at the two senior (shameless) elders.
"How are you two?"
Chongxu glanced at Fangzheng, "You talk to him!"
Fang Zheng nodded, then looked at Yue Yuan: "Young Master Yue, you have wronged the Songshan Sect this time. This sword technique is the Evil-Repelling Sword Technique."
"What? The Evil-Repelling Sword Technique?"
Yue Yuan looked at Master Fang Zheng in surprise, "Is that the Evil-Repelling Sword Technique of Chief Escort Lin of the Fuwei Escort Agency?"
Fang Zheng and Chong Xu nodded in agreement.
"The moves you used are a few from the Seventy-Two Styles of the Evil-Repelling Swordplay, called 'Flowers Bloom to Reveal the Buddha' and 'All Evils Repel'... I followed my master in my early years and witnessed the splendor of the Lin family patriarch. I still remember it vividly now."
Upon hearing Fang Zheng's words, he frowned and asked, "That's Chief Escort Lin of the Fuwei Escort Agency. My Huashan Sect even saved his life. Why would he do such an ungrateful thing?"
Master Chongxu raised his hand to interrupt him: "No, Chief Escort Lin is still in the south. I happened to meet him when I visited a friend in the northern mountains. It could not be him."
Fang Zheng sighed, "Amitabha, Young Hero Yue, now is not the time to find the real culprit. We should first treat Heroine Ning. Since Heroine Ning was attacked at the foot of Mount Song, we all have a responsibility. Young Hero Yue, lead the way, let's go see Heroine Ning together."
"Since Master Fangzheng has spoken, Nephew Yue, you should lead the way!"
Seeing that his goal had been achieved, Yue Yuan didn't linger any longer and immediately led the three of them down the mountain.
On the other side, Kaifeng City.
After many twists and turns, Liang Fa finally found Ping Yizhi.
At this moment, Ping Yizhi was treating the wounded, while outside a group of rabble were gambling with dice.
"Big big."
"Little, little, little".
Liang Fa frowned slightly. Although he was disgusted, he still politely asked, "Excuse me, where is the divine physician Ping Yizhi?"
When the rabble heard the question, they all turned to look at him, then returned to the intense card game.
Liang Fa cupped his hands in greeting once more and asked, "Is the divine physician Ping Yizhi here?"
He interrupted them once again. This time, they didn't continue. Instead, some drew their knives and others their swords, glaring angrily at Liang Fa and his group.
Just then, a short, stocky man pushed through the crowd and walked up to Liang Fa.
"He's busy. Go back to where you came from."
Liang Fa suppressed his anger and asked, "May I ask this hero how I can see Physician Ping? I have urgent business to attend to."
"He said he had something important to do, hahaha, isn't that hilarious?"
"Hahaha, what a blockhead."
"I even said my great-grandmother needed to be kept alive!"
"Kid, let me tell you, with me, the murderer Li Jiu, around, you'll be heading home today."
At this moment, a disciple behind Liang Fa walked up to him and whispered, "Third Senior Brother, this man is a local tyrant on the Yellow River. He controls the boats at several ferry crossings, and it's common for him to bully and rob people."
So that's how it is. Since you're a robber, then don't blame Liang.
"Didn't you hear what our Ninth Brother said? If you know what's good for you, get lost and don't delay our gambling."
"Get out of here."
Liang Fa no longer held back. He placed his hand on the hilt of his sword. "Since you're courting death, then go to hell and continue gambling! Attack!"
At Liang Fa's command, his disciples formed three-by-three formations behind him and quickly divided the battlefield.
Liang Fa then directly engaged Li Jiu in combat, but Li Jiu had only learned basic kung fu, which was only good for bullying ordinary people; he was no match for Liang Fa.
In just a few moves, Liang Fa severed Li Jiu's tendons in his hands and feet and pierced his dantian.
The other disciples had also basically finished their battles, mostly severing the tendons in their hands and feet.
This punishment was invented by Yue Yuan because he felt that it was too easy for people to die cleanly and neatly. He wanted his enemies to suffer a fate worse than death, so he came up with the method of severing the tendons in their hands and feet.
Of course, Liang Fa also personally carried out this punishment.
Li Jiu lay on the ground, shivering, and then a pool of yellow liquid flowed out.
He pleaded, trembling, "Great hero, spare my life! Great hero, spare my life!!"
Liang Fa wiped the bloodstains off his sword and dusted himself off, ignoring him and walking directly toward Ping Yizhi's wooden house.
He knocked lightly twice on the door before asking, "Is Physician Ping Yizhi here?"
"Who is it!"
A sharp sound came from inside, a sound that pierced Liang Fa's eardrums and made him feel very uncomfortable.
"I am Liang Fa from the Huashan Sect, and I have come to ask Physician Ping to treat my illness."
"What? The Huashan Sect? No cure! No cure!"
This has completely enraged Liang Fa. He can tolerate the petty thugs outside, but this so-called divine doctor is just as strange.
Since they're being so disrespectful, let's take them back and hand them over to the young sect leader.
He kicked open the wooden door, startling Ping Yizhi and a patient lying inside.
Ping pointed his blood-stained hands out of the house and said, "Who let you in? Get out."
Looking at the man with messy hair, short and fat, and a face full of scars, Liang Fa thought, "Is this the murderous doctor Ping Yizhi?"
He had imagined him to be someone with white hair and a youthful face, possessing the appearance of an immortal. He never expected him to look like this. Had the young sect leader made a mistake?
"So you are the infamous, murderous doctor, Ping Yizhi? I am..."
Before he could finish speaking, Ping Yizhi drew a short knife and threw it directly at him.
He dodged in a flash, drew his longsword, and held it against Ping Yizhi's neck.
"I try to speak to you nicely, but you just won't listen. Do I have to treat you like this before you'll talk properly?"
"Hmph, if you have the guts, then kill me."
Ping Yizhi was utterly disdainful. Over the years, he had seen many who tried to force themselves on him, but in the end, they all obediently begged him to save their lives. He thought Liang Fa would be the same, which was why he was so fearless.
Liang Fa looked at the person on the hospital bed, "How is his treatment for you?"
"It's bandaged up now."
"That's good. Then I'll take Ping Yizhi with me." After saying that, he pressed on the major acupoints on Ping Yizhi's body. "Guards, take Physician Ping away."
"yes!"
Several men quickly entered and took Ping Yizhi away.
"You'll regret it if you don't listen to reason!" he muttered under his breath, then sheathed his sword and walked out of the house.
"Third Senior Brother, these people..."
Liang Fa waved his hand, "Don't worry about these people. They're used to bullying the weak and fearing the strong. Now it's their turn to be bullied. Hurry up and load Ping Yizhi into the carriage. Let's head back to Luoyang tonight."
"yes!"
~~~
Meanwhile, Yue Yuan led the three back to Luoyang.
To their surprise, Yue Buqun appeared in the courtyard.
Upon seeing the group arrive, he immediately went out to greet them.
"Senior Brother Zuo, Master Fangzheng, Daoist Chongxu, I never expected that my wife's injuries would be of such concern to you all."
Master Fangzheng bowed and said, "Amitabha, it's all because of your disciple. He went to Mount Song to seek justice, and that's how we learned that Lady Ning was seriously injured. It's only right and proper that we come to visit her."
Yue Buqun sighed, "Thank you for your concern, Master. Please come in."
The three nodded slightly and went directly into the house.
However, when Yue Yuan entered, he was stopped by Yue Buqun.
"Where is Liang Fa?"
"Reporting to Master, Third Senior Brother has gone to Kaifeng to search for that murderous divine physician, Ping Yizhi."
Yue Buqun glared at him fiercely, "Why bring in those scoundrels? Was this your idea?"
"This disciple is also concerned for Master's wife, and had no choice but to resort to this tactic." Although his attitude was respectful, his words did not show any sign of yielding, which gave Yue Buqun a hard time.
"Great, now you're all grown up."
"I wouldn't dare."
"I wouldn't dare. What else wouldn't you dare to do? Fine, I can't control you anymore. Don't call me master anymore. Mount Hua has nothing to do with you. You can leave."
Yue Yuan was stunned for a moment, and just watched Yue Buqun walk away.
He chuckled lightly. What's so special about this? Being expelled from the sect?
