Xiao Han [Shooting Condor]

Xie Yao stayed in Peach Blossom Island for a few days, the two brothers rarely saw each other, needless to say they exchanged moves during the day, in just a few days, both martial arts improved.

One day, a six-pocket disciple from the Beggar Clan came to visit in a hurry, Huang Rong and Guo Jing hurriedly let him in to talk.Xie Yao guessed that there was something important to discuss in their gang, so he took Guo Fu and Sha Gu to the beach to collect shells and catch crabs. At dusk, the six-bag disciples left again.

Guo Jing couldn't find Xie Yao anywhere on the island, so he asked the mute servant, and found out that Xie Yao and the others were at the seaside, so he hurried to go.

The red sun fell into the sea, splashing a rainbow.Xie Yao held a conch in one hand and put it on Guo Fu's and Shagu's ears respectively. He asked, "Did you hear anything?"

Guo Fu nodded happily: "Uncle Xie, I heard the sound of waves!"

Xie Yao asked with a smile, "What other sounds are there?" The sea breeze blew a few strands of his hair, and Guo Fu hurriedly stretched out her little hand to straighten him, "There is also 'Brother Yao'."

"..."

Sha Gu nodded quickly when she heard the words: "Yes, yes, I heard that too!"

Xie Yao carried Guo Fu off the rock, turned around to pull Shagu back, but she jumped off by herself, and the three of them turned their heads to see that Guo Jing was walking towards this side.Seeing his expression, Xie Yao's heart sank, and he hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "What's the matter?"

Guo Jing's expression didn't know whether it was happiness or worry, he looked into Xie Yao's eyes, and said word by word: "Zhen Zhong has just disappeared!"

Thanks to Xie Yao's determination, when he heard this name, his heart couldn't help jumping out: "Where is he?"

Guo Jing said: "For many years, Rong'er and I have been sending people to find out the whereabouts of Zhen Zhongcai and Elder Peng. The two of them seemed to disappear out of thin air. Although there are many people in the Beggars' Gang, they do not have the power to reach the sky after all. Just now, people from the Beggars' Gang came to report Apart from reporting the recent situation of the Beggar Clan to Rong'er, and mentioning this matter, there is no news about Elder Peng, but I heard that he became a Taoist priest after seeing Zhen Zhong in the northern Shaanxi area."

"Taoist temples and Buddhist sects are all places of escape from the world, no wonder there has been no news of him." Xie Yao thought of himself, and his words could not help but feel a little bit disappointed.

Guo Jing let out a "hey" and said, "It's just that there is nothing else. I don't know if he is a wanderer, or he has a fixed Taoist temple. Besides, northern Shaanxi is vast, and I don't know if there are any Taoist temples, big or small. Fan Ji, this news is dispensable, but it makes you happy for nothing."

Xie Yao shook his head, but instead comforted him: "Talk is better than nothing, I will leave for northern Shaanxi tomorrow."

"So urgent?" Guo Jing paused, "I wouldn't have told you if I knew about it. It would be better if I stayed for a few more days."

Xie Yao smiled lightly, and patted him on the shoulder: "It's still a long time, when the matter is settled, we two brothers will get together again." Guo Jing knew that he had made up his mind, and it was inconvenient to keep him, so he asked Huang Rong to set up a table Good food, let Xie Yao practice it.

Knowing that Xie Yao was leaving, Guo Fu burst into tears at the dinner table. Ke Zhen felt disgusted and couldn't bear to leave. He sat beside Guo Fu with a stern face, and didn't try to coax her.Xie Yao couldn't help laughing when he saw the old and the young, and assured Ke Zhen'e that he would come to see him at any time. After Ke Zhen'e looked amiable, he quickly comforted Guo Fu: "Fu'er, if I remember correctly, you will come to see him next time." On the third day of the lunar month, uncle is here to prepare a gift for you."

When Guo Fu heard the word "gift", she stopped her tears immediately, opened her eyes wide, and asked, "What gift?"

"You'll know then."

Guo Jing was afraid of extravagance, so he hurriedly said to Xie Yao: "The child is just giving birth, you don't have to worry about it."

Xie Yao glanced at Huang Rong, and said with a smile, "I should return this gift to you." Huang Rong couldn't help being very amused when she heard the words, and asked repeatedly, but Xie Yao prevaricated, saying that she would know when the time came.Xie Yao didn't say anything, there was nothing they could do, they could only wait for the third day of next month with curiosity.

In the early morning of the next day, the sky was still hazy, the waves on the seashore were churning, the wind was up and down, and it turned out to be another windy and bad day.

Guo Huang and his wife and Ke Zhen'e came to see him off, seeing the weather, they all advised Xie Yao to delay for another two days.

Xie Yao couldn't help but raised his head and smiled, and told a few people about the situation when he came, and finally said with a smile: "God deliberately let me go in the wind and rain, if I change the day, wouldn't I be afraid of it? After that, he jumped into the small boat, "What's more, I have to return the boat to Hanshui boatman."

Before we said goodbye, heavy raindrops fell one after another, rippling on the sea, seeing the wind and waves getting stronger and stronger, Xie Yao didn't linger, he hugged a few people, worked hard with his feet, and urged the boat to go.

A leaf of the flat boat, ups and downs in the waves of the waves, goes farther and farther.Guo Jing looked up and saw Xie Yao standing on the bow of the boat, no matter how bumpy it was, he still stood firm in the wind and rain, like a strong pine growing on the bow of the boat, riding the wind and breaking the waves to save the sea.

Guo Jing's originally suspended heart suddenly let go, and said: "Brother Yao has profound martial arts skills, and he is indeed not afraid of this mere storm."

Huang Rong said with a smile: "I think he doesn't take his own life and death seriously at all. If a person is not afraid of death, then he has nothing to fear."

Guo Jing thought of Xie Yao's life of wandering, why not be like a small boat.

With a thought in his mind, he held Huang Rong's catkin with his back hand, and said, "Rong'er, according to what you said, then I have many things to fear." Huang Rong looked up at him, eyes full of tenderness, leaning on his shoulder and said: " Brother Jing, I am the same as you. But as long as our family is safe, there is nothing to be afraid of."

Guo Jing felt that this wish was too narrow, he looked at the torrential waves and couldn't help but said: "The world will be peaceful first, then we will be safe."

※※※

Xie Yao was quite excited when he heard the news about Zhen Zhongcai. It would be much more convenient if he cleared up the misunderstanding of the Beggars' Gang, and then did other things.After getting off the boat, he bought a horse and headed straight to northern Shaanxi. He had been observing and unannounced for many days, but there was no news of Zhen Zhongcai. After so many years, he didn't know what he looked like. The crowd was like searching for a needle in a haystack.Although Xie Yao didn't want to admit this, but the matter had come to this point, there was nothing he could do. Thinking that his two apprentices had no news now, and he didn't know whether he was alive or dead, he felt depressed.

The weather was fine that day, and the ancient road was slow, Xie Yao traveled all the way north, thinking about something in his heart, and before he knew it, he came to the area of ​​Zhongnan Mountain.If it is said that the Daoist temples in northern Shaanxi are the most virtuous and highly respected in Quanzhen Sect, but Xie Yao subconsciously ignored them, and he couldn't remember them when he came here.

Zhen Zhongcai is a cautious person, and he should not be under the Quanzhen Sect. Xie Yao turned his head and looked at Zhongnan Mountain in the distance. .Someone had obviously tampered with the Black Jade Ointment back then, and Xie Yao never expected it, but he didn't memorize the formula carefully, otherwise he would have made this product by now and sent it to Sun Buer.

While Xie Yao was thinking, the horse was pacing along the road towards Zhongnan Mountain. He reached out to pat the horse's head, and suddenly missed Lu Wei.

"Bastard! Hurry up and leave! If it's too late, let's see if the Daoist will not peel your skin!" Suddenly came a scolding from behind, accompanied by the sound of the whip hitting the flesh, it was really ear-piercing.

Xie Yao looked back and saw two young Taoist priests sitting side by side in a carriage. There were probably other people in the carriage, but they were covered by curtains, so they couldn't see clearly.

The Taoist priest on the left lashed the gray horse hard again, and said angrily, "Go! You should go!"

The gray horse neighed in pain, raised its legs and tried to pull the carriage, the rope was pulled into the flesh, Xie Yao secretly felt heartbroken seeing it.Thinking of the reed, he couldn't bear it, seeing that the Taoist priest was about to drop his whip again, he hurriedly raised his voice, "Wait a minute!"

The Taoist priest was taken aback when he heard the words, and looked up, only to see an ugly man covered in scars shouting at them.

"Who are you? What do we do?"

Xie Yao got off the horse, stepped forward and cupped his hands and said, "You two Taoists, the more you hit this horse, the slower it will go. Why don't you let me do you a favor." After speaking, Xie Yao reached out to touch the horse's mane, bowed his head Whispered something in its ear, the horse pouted its hooves immediately, dragged the carriage and galloped away.

One of the two Taoist priests was caught off guard and was almost thrown off the carriage. The Taoist priest on the left rolled up his whip, stabilized his figure, turned his head and saw Xie Yao standing on the side of the road with his arms folded and smiling. No matter how you look at it, this smile seems to be mocking.

"Woo--" The Taoist reined in the horse, jumped out of the carriage angrily, and pointed at Xie Yao with his whip, "Are you here on purpose to see me make a fool of myself? Hey, what is your name..."

"Brother Lu, it's getting late, let's go back quickly, don't miss Uncle Liao's birthday." The curtain of the car lifted, but saw a sixteen or seventeen-year-old Taoist nun with a sword in her waist, bright eyes and bright teeth.The Taoist surnamed Lu listened to her reassurance, glared at Xie Yao, turned around and got into the carriage, shook the reins, and the gray horse paced back and forth, but didn't go away again.

The three Taoists looked at each other, and the nun looked at Xie Yao in the distance, and discussed with the other two: "Senior Brother Lu, Brother Ji, why don't we ask him to come over and help drive the car? We also have a few big stone tablets in this carriage. Can't move away."

The Taoist priest surnamed Ji nodded: "Just listen to your sister."

Xie Yao was arranging the saddle when he suddenly heard someone shouting from a distance: "Brother, please come and help us drive, and I will give you money afterward." At this time, he already knew that the three ways were all followers of the Quanzhen sect, and he wanted to inquire about Sun Buer's situation, so he nodded in agreement.

Seeing that Xie Yao was willing to help, the nun was very happy and said with a smile, "Thank you."

Xie Yao waved his hand and sat in the middle of the carriage, while the other two Taoist priests were pushed aside reluctantly.

"You all teach Quanzhen?"

The nun replied: "Yes, this is my senior brother Lu Qingdu, and this is senior brother Ji Qingxu. My surname is Sun, and my name is Qingyin."

Lu Qingdu was very displeased when he heard the words, and said: "Junior Sister Sun, why are you giving my name to someone who has nothing to do with it?"

Sun Qing was at a loss for words, glanced at Xie Yao, put down the curtain, and did not continue.

Xie Yao's dress is plain and his face is ugly, so it's not surprising that he is regarded as an ordinary groom. He himself doesn't know the thoughts of these three paths. Since ancient times, there are countless people who judge people by their appearance.On the contrary, under the gate of Chongyang Palace, "the aspirations are quiet"

"In terms of seniority, these people don't know who their disciples are.

While driving, he asked, "I heard that Taoist Sun Daoist, a pure and undisciplined person from Chongyang Palace, was severely injured many years ago. Is he okay now?"

Ji Qingxu glanced at him, as if surprised that he knew this, and couldn't help but said: "What's so good, the patriarch has been ill for so many years, and he was finally able to speak not long ago..."

"Can you talk?" Xie Yao was surprised and delighted.

Ji Qingxu chuckled, imitating Sun Buer's appearance, stretched out his hand and stammered, "I can only ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhss..." Lu Qingdu had already laughed out loud, and Ji Qingxu also laughed, holding his stomach and laughing together.

Seeing that the two showed no respect, Xie Yao's eyes darkened, and he reprimanded in a deep voice: "Daozhang Sun is an elder, and it is unfortunate that he is sick. You can laugh at it behind your back, how decent it is!"

Lu Qingdu and Ji Qingxu were startled, they couldn't help shivering, and when they realized that the person in front of them was just a groom, they immediately snorted coldly: "Whatever it is, take care of yourself." Let's drive!"
