Cheng Kun felt a chill in his heart, and he said embarrassedly, "Why did you …" Halfway through his sentence, he suddenly remembered that Meng Qi had just said that they had no right to ask questions. He snapped out of his shock and shut his mouth, but he immediately realized that such a reaction was too degrading. For a moment, his expression was extremely ugly.
"Don't think that I don't know what you two are planning. In this world, there aren't many people as cunning as you two. Are you trying to fool me with some random answers?" Song Qingshu looked at him coldly.
"I wouldn't dare." Now that the situation was more powerful than he was, Cheng Kun could only admit defeat.
"Master Yuan Zhen has roamed the world for so many years. You should have heard of the Nine Yin Manual, right?" Song Qingshu suddenly said.
"I have." Cheng Kun nodded and then smiled obsequiously. "Young Master, you must have relied on this divine skill to kill everyone at the Lion Slaying Convention." At the same time, he felt strange. Although the Nine Yin Manual was powerful, it could not surpass the Shaolin Temple's Muscle-bone Strengthening Scripture. He had seen the power of Muscle-bone Strengthening Scripture from Chen Youliang, but how could it compare to Song Qingshu's terrifying cultivation?
Song Qingshu did not comment on his deliberate flattery. "Since you know the Nine Yin Manual, you must know about the Soul Transfer Technique in the Nine Yin Manual, right?"
Cheng Kun was shocked and quickly lowered his head. "I've heard of it. Legend has it that it can steal a person's mind …"
"That's good." Song Qingshu nodded. "Originally, I didn't have to go through the trouble of using the Soul Transfer Technique on you. That way, you would tell me everything you know, and I wouldn't have to worry about you lying to me. However, the Soul Transfer Technique has a drawback. After it is used on the target, it will easily affect their mind. The higher the target's power, the stronger their resistance will be, and the greater the damage to their brain will be. It is very likely that they will become an idiot." Once he finished speaking, he deliberately paused and looked at Cheng Kun thoughtfully.
Cheng Kun hastily said, "I hope Gongzi will be magnanimous. Whatever Gongzi wants to ask, I will not dare to conceal anything."
Song Qingshu then continued, "I don't want two idiots, so I won't use it on you for the time being. However, you'd better answer my questions honestly. I'll wake Chen Youliang up later and ask him the same questions again. If there's any discrepancy … hehe, in order to verify who's lying, don't blame me for using the Soul Transfer Technique."
He couldn't be blamed for using such threatening words. Cheng Kun and Chen Youliang, the two villains in the original work, were more cunning than foxes and more vicious than poisonous snakes. If he wasn't careful, he would fall into their trap. He had to be careful.
With a wry smile Cheng Kun said, "Xiao Ren understands, Gongzi can ask."
Song Qingshu nodded and asked, "Weren't you locked up in the Shaolin Temple after the Lion-slaying Assembly? Why are you here?"
"It was Youliang who saved me." Cheng Kun glanced at Chen Youliang next to him.
"Nonsense." Song Qingshu frowned. "The Shaolin Temple is heavily guarded and has many masters. How could Chen Youliang have the ability to save a felon like you?"
Seeing his unfriendly expression, Cheng Kun's heart skipped a beat. He hastily explained, "Youliang didn't save me by force. He asked the Abbot for me, and the Abbot decided to let me out."
"Chen Youliang has such a great reputation?" Song Qingshu stared at him coldly.
Cheng Kun swallowed and explained, "Speaking of which, it's because of Gongzi."
"Because of me?" Song Qingshu said coldly, "If you keep me guessing like this, believe it or not, I'll break one of your legs first."
"I don't dare, I don't dare," Cheng Kun hurriedly explained. "These past few years, Gongzi and Shaolin have had several … conflicts. Everyone in Shaolin knows that they have offended you. Now that Gongzi's reputation is growing in the Central Plains, the Abbot and the others are worried that once you seize the world in the future, Shaolin will face a disaster. So on one hand, they sent eminent monks to preach Buddhism to the Mongolian princes and gain their friendship. If the Mongolians seize the world in the future, they will have formed a good relationship with them in advance. On the other hand, they found Youliang and taught him the Muscle-bone Strengthening Scripture. At the same time, they secretly supported him to take charge of the Beggar Sect and help him seize the world. At the same time, to a certain extent, they restrained the development of the Golden Snake Camp. "
"Youliang took the opportunity to ask me to help him. Everyone in Shaolin thought that I was a useless person and couldn't do much, so they agreed to his request."
…
Hearing Cheng Kun's answer, Song Qingshu was shocked and angry. These past two years, he had indeed had several conflicts with Shaolin, but these were all internal conflicts among the people. Everyone's main enemy was the powerful empire of the grassland in the north. He did not expect that the people of Shaolin Temple not only did not want to drive out the Tartars, but also colluded with foreign enemies and used their strength to deal with their own people!
No wonder in his previous life, when people from other countries went abroad, they would unite to fight against foreign enemies, but only the Chinese liked to fight among themselves. The people who were most ruthless to the Chinese were not the white people, but their own compatriots.
Many ambitious people were heartbroken when they saw their own people fighting among themselves. They did not expect that after traveling through time, they would once again feel this kind of pain on their skin.
Song Qingshu's face was as calm as water, his eyes flashing. After a long time, he finally calmed down and looked at him coldly. "At the Lion-slaying Gathering, your internal power was obviously destroyed by Xie Xun. Why is it that now, not only has your internal power recovered, but it is even better than before? And where did you learn that 'Absorbing Stars Great Skill'? "
"Speaking of which, this is also because of young master." Cheng Kun looked at him with a bitter smile.
"Because of me again?" Song Qingshu flicked his finger. Cheng Kun immediately held his leg and screamed. "Don't keep me in suspense."
Cheng Kun had to endure the pain and quickly said, "One day, a mysterious person came to us and said that he could cure my injury and restore my martial arts, but I had to agree to one condition. At that time, I was like a drowning man who had caught a straw. Although my reason told me that it was not possible, I still agreed. As long as I could recover, let alone one condition, even if it was ten thousand conditions, I would agree. "
"That person cured my meridians. Originally, I thought that as long as my meridians were restored, I would practice hard for a few years. Although I could not restore my previous level, it would be enough. But he taught me the 'Absorbing Stars Great Skill', which made my martial arts better than before in less than a year."
Song Qingshu snorted coldly, "I'm afraid that you have absorbed a lot of internal energy from experts in the past year."
Cheng Kun laughed awkwardly, "Yes, when I returned to the Beggar Clan with Youliang, I secretly absorbed a lot of people who did not know what was good for them." He knew the enmity between Song Qingshu and the Beggar Clan, so he did not worry about making him angry.
"Who was that mysterious person?" If it was Huang Rong's Xiangyang Beggar Clan, Song Qingshu might have helped them. He had no interest in the Clean Clothes Sect in Jiangnan.
Cheng Kun replied, "I don't know that person's name. I asked him several times, but he did not tell me. He only told me to do my best to help Chen Youliang deal with the Golden Snake Battalion."
"At first, I thought he was Youliang's friend, but later I found out that he was not. Anyway, I have recovered my martial arts, so it does not matter who he is."
"That person only asked you to help deal with me?" Song Qingshu frowned. Could it be that the person who knew the 'Absorbing Stars Great Skill' was Ren Woxing? But that did not make sense. It was not comfortable to have such a powerful person hiding in the dark and eyeing him like a tiger watching its prey.
