"The world of martial arts is really dangerous," said Wang Yao with a smile .
"Yes, it is dangerous, but not to the general public," said Zhou Xiong with a smile .
Wang Yao and Sang Guzi saw Zhou Wuyi together in the afternoon again . Zhou Wuyi's condition was basically stable, and he shouldn't have any new conditions anytime soon . However, his damaged and broken meridians needed to be addressed as soon as possible . Neither Wang Yao nor Sang Guzi could do anything about it .
"I can do nothing to repair his meridians at this stage," said Wang Yao to Zhou Xiong and his father .
Since he couldn't do more for Zhou Wuyi, there was no point for Wang Yao to continue staying at Cangzhou .
"I should go back to Lianshan," said Wang Yao .
"Okay, I will arrange for people to drive you back," said Zhou Xiong's father without hesitation . "But, I've arranged dinner; how about leaving after dinner?"
"Sure, thanks," said Wang Yao . He didn't decline the invitation this time .
. . .
"Uncle, how can you allow him to leave?" said Zhou Ying to Zhou Xiong's father after Wang Yao had left the living room .
"I understand you worry about your father . But it was us who invited him to come . He is our guest, and he has done his best to save your father . We shouldn't stop him if he wants to go back . You've heard him just now that he can do nothing more to help your father, and Dr . Sang will not leave for now," said Zhou Xiong's father .
"I'm sorry, Uncle," said Zhou Ying as he had calmed down .
"That's fine . Stay here with your dad, and leave everything else to me tonight," said Zhou Xiong's father .
"Okay," said Zhou Ying .
The dinner was not in a restaurant . Zhou Xiong's father made dinner at home . In some places, inviting people for dinner at home could be considered informal or even stingy . But in other places, it was considered a special treat, as the guest was treated as a family member or a very close friend .
It was a rich dinner with ample food . Considering that it was Wang Yao's first time visiting Cangzhou, Zhou Xiong's family prepared some famous local foods for him .
It was a pleasant get-together .
After dinner, Both Wang Yao and Dr . Sang were going to leave . They were going in the same direction, so they went in the same car .
The car didn't go very far before a strange sound was heard by the people inside . The car ran over something, causing it to lean to one side .

"What is going on?" asked Wang Yao .
"I think it is due to a flat tire . Let me go and check," said the driver who pulled over . As soon as he got out of the car, he was knocked out and fell to the ground without making a sound .
No! Zhou Xiong knew something was wrong .
"Everyone stay in the car!" shouted Zhou Xiong as he got out of the car .
His voice was especially loud in the quiet night . He did that deliberately to ask for assistance . They were still in Zhou Village, so there were still villagers nearby .
Ding! Wang Yao heard several short and loud sounds .
Zhou Xiong knelt down to the ground . He had two wounds already, and blood was gushing out of them .
Crash! A window of the car was broken .
"Dr . Sang, please stay out of this," said a hoarse voice .
"Yao, run whenever you can!" Dr . Sang took a few acupuncture needles out of his pocket .
What a coincidence! Wang Yao came across what he wanted to know about jianghu and the world of martial arts, but the dark side .
Wang Yao didn't say anything . His Qi was running inside his body . He was using his mind to control his Qi .
As Wang Yao drank ancient spring water and practiced Natural Classics frequently, he was much fitter than most adults . His five senses were also extremely sharp . Plus, with the increasing Qi inside his body, his ability to feel and listen were extraordinary . He had heard the wind outside, the sound of leaves hitting the ground, and the breath from the two people who were just outside their car . One of them was on the left, and the other was on the right .
Wang Yao suddenly opened the door of the car .
He saw a flash of light .
It was actually a blade, a very sharp blade .
But Wang Yao saw the blade, and he punched out as powerful as gun fire .
Crack! Suddenly, there was a cracking sound, and a man flew out upside down .
It was a life or death situation; Wang Yao had to give it his best shot .
On the other side, Dr . Sang also took action . He waved his hand, and a number of fine silver needles flew out . People nearby could even hear the needles penetrating the air . Dr . Sang not only had fine medical skills but also was a Kung Fu master .

"Go!" shouted Dr . Sang .
Wang Yao got out of the car first . Whoosh! A person ran towards him . Wang Yao had to grab Dr . Sang behind him .
Wang Yao half squatted then used all his strength to jump out, like an arrow .
What?!
Wang Yao had a brief encounter with one of the assailants, and he felt the biting cold across his face . His hands pushed out at the same time .
Thwack! Wang Yao's push was as powerful as a waterfall . A man groaned and flew out before landing heavily on the ground .
Internal martial arts?!
Dr . Sang, who stood nearby opened his eyes in shock . He didn't expect Wang Yao, a young man with astonishing medical skills, to also be an internal martial arts master .
The man who got knocked down by Wang Yao threw something at Wang Yao immediately after he fell to the ground .
"Watch out!" shouted Dr . Sang anxiously .
Wang Yao dodged the attack . Ding! Ding! Something was pinned to the car . Wang Yao turned his head to take a look . By the time he turned his head back, the man had fled . The other man who was knocked down earlier by Wang Yao also wanted to escape, but he was hit by a stone thrown by Wang Yao .
"Dr . Sang, are you okay?" asked Wang Yao .
"I'm fine . I'm surprised that you are such a Kung Fu master!" said Dr . Sang .
"I just learned Kung Fu from someone a short while ago . I'm not a master yet . Please don't tell anyone that I know Kung Fu . " Wang Yao didn't expect that he could do such damage to the men attacking them .
After practicing Kung Fu for several months, it was the first time for Wang Yao to apply his Kung Fu skills in a critical, real-life fight .
"Don't worry; I won't tell anyone . Thank you for saving my life!" said Dr . Sang .
People from Zhou Xiong's family arrived shortly . They were surprised to see the attacker lying on the ground .
"Are you okay, Dr . Sang, Dr . Wang?" said Zhou Xiong's father . He didn't expect his enemies were so bold, daring to attack his friends near his house .
"We are fine," said Dr . Sang .

People from Zhou Xiong's family took the injured attacker away . Zhou Xiong was injured by a blade at two different locations on his body . Fortunately, the blade didn't reach his bones . The driver was knocked out by a big blow . He also had a fatal injury caused by the blade . Zhou Xiong's father didn't think he would live for long .
"Damn it!" said Zhou Xiong's father . Everyone in Zhou Xiong's family was angry .
Not only them, other people involved, such as Dr . Sang and Wang Yao were also angry . Dr . Sang had practiced medicine for years and helped a lot of people . He made friends with a lot of people who wanted to return the favor to him . He had some social connections with both government officials and their illegal counterparts . Those people even dared to attack him in Cangzhou . Big things were going to happen in the world of jianghu .
Of course, none of those things had anything to do with Wang Yao . He was sent away by Zhou Xiong's family at night in case any accident was going to happen . He had a Kung Fu master as company for his safety .
Wang Yao didn't return to Lianshan directly . He arrived at Huaicheng first, then changed cars to return to Lianshan .
He called Zhou Xiong to tell him that he had arrived at home safely .
"Sorry, I'm so sorry . " Zhou Xiong kept apologizing over the phone .
"Don't worry about it . " What happened had happened . There was no point in apologizing over it .
Wang Yao really didn't expect to come across an event like this, which he thought could only happen in novels and movies . Anyway, the trip to Cangzhou had changed many of his views .
There were too many mysteries in this world that he had no knowledge of . Maybe things he only heard of in legends were truly existing or happening .
Although Wang Yao had experienced danger during the trip, he also gained a lot .
I should go out more .
Because he was delayed by the event last night, it was lunch time when he arrived at home .
"Hey, you are back . Have you cured the patient?" asked Zhang Xiuying as soon as she saw her son .
"No, we only just saved his life," said Wang Yao .
"Not bad . Go and wash your face; we are having lunch soon," said Zhang Xiuying .
"Okay," said Wang Yao .
Wang Yao's father also asked about the patient Wang Yao had seen in Cangzhou . He nodded after hearing that the patient was out of danger for now .
Wang Yao chatted with his parents for a short while after lunch before returning to Nanshan hill . He documented everything he had experienced in Cangzhou in his notebook .
Such severe damage to the meridians should be considered a difficult-to-treat illness . Wang Yao had read quite a lot of descriptions of symptoms related to meridians in medical books . Clear and coherent meridians kept a person healthy .
If the human body was the earth, the meridians would be the rivers . Without the nurturing from the rivers, the land would dry out . If any of the running rivers were stopped at certain points or changed directions, horrible things could happen .
It was an extremely difficult task to disentangle and reconnect the broken meridians .
The patient's condition was slightly similar to Zhou Wukang's condition .
Wang Yao thought very hard of how to treat Zhou Ying's father .
At the same time, inside a village in Cangzhou, which was thousands of miles away from Lianshan, a conversation was going on .
"I didn't expect Dr . Wang to also be a Kung Fu master," said Dr . Sang .
Dr . Sang was having a chat with Zhou Wuxing, Zhou Xiong's father .
"Haha, talking about his Kung Fu, it is actually because of us," said Zhou Wuxing with a smile .
"Really?" asked Dr . Sang .
"My son taught him Kung Fu," said Zhou Wuxing .
"What? Xiong taught him?!" said Sang Guzi in surprise .
"Yes, my son started to teach him less than half a year ago," said Zhou Wuxing .
"He could fight against other Kung Fu masters so easily in less than half a year?" Sang Guzi was shocked .
"Dr . Sang, he is a genius . I didn't need to demonstrate twice most of the time . He progressed extremely fast, by leaps and bounds," said Zhou Xiong, who witnessed Wang Yao's progress in Lianshan when he was teaching Wang Yao .
"Look at him! I thought it would take at least ten years to be highly skilled in Kung Fu . He hasn't even practiced for a year yet . There are really geniuses in this world!" cried Sang Guzi .
Wang Yao was not only a master in Chinese medicine but also a master in Kung Fu . Compared to Wang Yao, most people in their 20's were so ordinary .
"He seems to be interested in Kung Fu very much," said Zhou Wuxing .
"Yes, indeed," said Zhou Xiong . He could feel Wang Yao's passion in Kung Fu when he was in Lianshan .
"He has done us such a big favor in saving your uncle and Kang; we should express our gratitude . You mentioned before that he is not interested in money, so I want to give him something special . Now I know that he is interested in Kung Fu, I have an idea of what we should give him," said Zhou Wuxing .
