Xiao Han [Shooting Condor]

Counting nine cold days, frozen and snowy land, finally came the second coldest year in Tianshan Mountains.Goose-feather-like snow was falling one after another, and the house was covered with snow, and the whole world was a vast expanse of whiteness.

In the originally silent mountain forest, there was the sound of grizzled footsteps walking in the snow.

"Eldest brother, continue!"

Ding Yue threw the roe deer he had just caught to Shentu Xingchong in the air.Shentu Xingchong had been prepared for a long time, he stepped into the snow and took a stake to stand still, his outstretched arms were firmly connected in his hands.

Ding Yue was about to open his mouth when he heard the sound of breaking wind behind him. He used the "Wind Passing Wuying" move from the spiral nine shadows under his feet. Ding Yue took two steps back, thinking he was avoiding it, when suddenly he was hit by a snowball in the chest, shouting "Ah yo", and fell into the snow with his ass.

It was Yang Guo who came, and now two years have passed, and both he and Ding Yue have grown a lot taller.On the other hand, Shentu Xingchong was already a strong young man with broad shoulders and long legs.

Even though time flies, the personalities of the three have not changed at all.

Yang Guo laughed, stretched out his hands and pulled Ding Yue up, Ding Yue straightened his clothes and hat, let out a sigh of relief, rubbed his hands, and asked: "The palm technique you used so clearly just now, why did it hit my chest again? "

"I don't know either. I will learn how the master teaches." Yang Guo thought about this and sighed, "The whole-hearted method is extremely troublesome, and I can't recite it all."

"If you were serious about studying, you would have memorized it all by now. Senior brother is the most stupid. Master taught me the superior Nine Suns magic skill, but so far I have not been able to comprehend any of it." Shentu Xingchong lowered his eyes, carried the roe deer on his shoulders, Ding Yue and Yang Guo each carried a bundle of firewood, and the three of them chatted as they walked home.

Over the years, Xie Yao has taught them the martial arts that are suitable for them, and they have improved their martial arts.

Ding Yue curled his lips: "Brother, don't be modest, your Thunder Axe, even my third brother and I can't defeat you." Yang Guo seemed to recall the scene of the three of them fighting each other that day, and couldn't help but slapped his legs and laughed: "Second senior brother, you can't beat him, but you can slip faster than anyone else!"

Shentu Xingchong couldn't help laughing, he took half of the firewood from Yang Guo's back, and carried it on himself: "That being said, you are the one who has improved the fastest among our three brothers. Master is right, such things as practicing martial arts are really difficult. It depends on talent."

The three of them stopped and walked, chatting and laughing, before they even approached the house, they shouted loudly: "Master, Master."

Xie Yao was preparing the New Year's Eve dinner for them at night. When he heard the shout, he turned out of the kitchen and said with a smile, "What did you hit?" The pheasant and hare said happily: "We can have a big meal tonight!"

Ding Yue piled the firewood behind the house, Shentu Xing rushed to take a kitchen knife to deal with the roe deer, Yang Guo was not idle, and pasted the lucky paper Spring Festival couplets bought from the town a few days ago around the front and back of the house. There were still four "Fu" characters left, Yang Guo's childlike innocence grew, he went to the stables, and simply pasted them on the foreheads of the four horses.

Ding Yue happened to meet this scene, leaned forward and laughed, he was laughing happily, Lu Wei sneezed, and blew the lucky paper on his face with a "pop".

"I...I'm going to tell the master and senior brother!" Yang Guo laughed so hard that he couldn't straighten his waist, and immediately ran away after speaking. Ding Yue wiped his face and stretched out his hand to stop him, "Hey! Hey! Senior brother's famous name!" Ding Yue Yue didn't want him to publicize the embarrassment, so the two brothers and sisters chased him all over the yard.

The air is filled with the atmosphere of the New Year, and everyone is full of joy.

In the evening, the three of them brought Xie Yao's cooked dishes to the table one by one, including candied melon seeds, peanuts and fruits, all of which were not missing.Xie Yao sat at the head, first Yang Guo got up and said a lot of auspicious words, then Shentu Xingchong and Ding Yue followed suit and said a lot.

Xie Yao was afraid that the food would be cold, so he held up his chopsticks and said with a smile, "Don't talk about it, let's try the craft of being a teacher."

In fact, this kind of cooking should be done by apprentices, but Shentu Xingchong was born with no talent in cooking, and Ding Yue can only stew in a dark pot. Everyone has eaten it once and never wants to eat it again. Second-rate.And Yang Guo is young, Xie Yao can't bear to let him do it, so the housework of cooking still falls on him.

"Master's fish soup is really the most delicious in the world!" Yang Guo finished it in one mouthful, full of praise.

Ding Yue raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "Junior brother, the fish soup I made is not bad."

Yang Guo's small face contorted for a while, and he said with lingering fear, "Not bad, as long as Second Senior Brother don't let me drink it anymore." He didn't forget that Ding Yue tricked and tricked him to drink a bowl of fish soup that day, and then he vomited and diarrhea for a whole day deeds.

Shentu Xingchong also hurriedly said: "I don't drink either!"

Ding Yue snorted coldly, turned his head and said, "If you don't drink, Master will."

Xie Yao couldn't help laughing when he heard the words, patted him on the shoulder, pretending to be serious: "I don't drink even if I'm a teacher."

It was rare for the three of them to hear him joke, they were all taken aback for a moment, and then laughed.After the master and apprentice finished their dinner happily, Shentu Xingchong went to hang lanterns outside the house, Ding Yue took out a basket of prepared fireworks and firecrackers, tied one end with a bamboo pole, and asked Yang Guo to hold it.He lit the torch, leaned on the fuse, and the silent snow field was filled with the sound of crackling firecrackers.

Xie Yao stood under the eaves, watching them set off fireworks, cheering and jumping. Thanks to the company of several disciples, he was able to spend the past two years in the bustle and bustle, and he would not be alone.

Seeing that Yang Guo is getting older, Xie Yao has been thinking about Yang Guo's fate these days. He obviously remembers that Yang Guo should join the Ancient Tomb Sect and make a marriage with Xiaolongnv.However, he couldn't remember exactly what year and month it was. Whenever Xie Yao had no idea, he would think of the heavenly scriptures. He felt bitter, raised his hand, rubbed the center of his brows, and let out a long sigh.

Xie Yao taught the three of them all the martial arts that he taught. Ding Yue and Shentu Xingchong's martial arts are now considered to be the best in the world. Yang Guo's basic skills are not solid enough and he is still young, so he only taught the basic skills and nine skills taught by Quanzhen. Tell him the general outline of Yinzhenjing.

It was snowing and it was clear at the beginning of the day. The three brothers and sisters came back from the town, and before they entered the door, they called out to Xie Yao loudly, extremely anxious.

Xie Yaoben was meditating in Qingxiu, when he heard the voice, he immediately walked out of the room, only to see Ding Yue rushing forward first, panting, "Master...Master!"

"Surprised, what happened?"

At this time Yang Guo and Shentu Xingchong arrived separately, Yang Guo took out a letter from his sleeve and handed it to him, saying, "We originally wanted to go to the town to buy candied haws...ah, no, to buy books."

Ding Yue squinted at him, and continued, "Then a ragged beggar went around looking for people and asked, 'Which one of you know Xie Daxia?', 'Where Xie Daxia lives'... When we heard it, the whole Tianshan was of course only master. Go to 'Xie Da Xia', and report the identity of the Xia Sect disciple to the beggar, and ask him to give us the letter and pass it on for us."

"That person gave you the letter so easily?"

Shentu Xingchong nodded: "I guess the beggar asked too many people, he's tired of it."

Xie Yao thought for a while, and guessed who it was, he tore off the sealant, took out the letter paper, and the familiar handwriting jumped into his eyes, it was Guo Jing's own handwriting.Xie Yao didn't dare to neglect, and hurriedly read carefully. The three disciples watched him smile for a while, frown for a while, and finally looked quite indignant, crumpling the paper into a ball.

Yang Guo was surprised, "Master, you were surprised too, what's wrong?"

Ding Yue and Shentu Xingchong almost burst into laughter when they heard the words, but Xie Yao didn't have the slightest intention of joking, and immediately bowed their heads in solemn expressions, not daring to overstep.

In this letter, Guo Jing first thanked Xie Yao for the birthday gift, and said that Guo Fu couldn't put it down, liked it very much, and looked forward to seeing you again.Later, the conversation changed, and it was said that Mongolia was still joining forces with the Song Dynasty to destroy the Jin Kingdom through the Song Dynasty. The people of Song Dynasty are really hateful.Guo Jing confided his helplessness to him again, thinking that the two of them grew up in Mongolia, why they are at odds now, and finally asked two "Why? Why?", very depressed.

After hearing this, everyone was stunned.

"Master, the Mongols have also attacked the Song Dynasty?" Ding Yue has been very unhappy since he knew that the Jin Kingdom was destroyed, but he never thought that the days of peace are numbered. After leaving a Jin Kingdom and a Mongolia, the lands and mountains of the Song Dynasty will eventually be affected. People trampled.Shentu Xingchong hated Mongolia to the bone, he said angrily: "What is there to ask? Needless to say, Master, I will go to Sichuan to kill the Mongolian Tatars!"

Xie Yao frowned and didn't answer, apparently thinking about it.

Yang Guo had no idea about the Kingdom of Jin or Mongolia, he only knew that he was doing what he wanted and had a good time, if his seniors and brothers wanted to part, his eyes would turn red.

Seeing this, Ding Yue was busy comforting him for a while.

Shentu Xingchong was filled with righteous indignation, and was about to speak when Xie Yao waved his hand and said, "Pack up your things, let's go back to the Central Plains."

The few people didn't expect Xie Yao to do what he said, Shentu Xingchong couldn't help being overjoyed, and took the lead to go into the house to tidy up his clothes. Seeing that Xie Yao had already spoken, Yang Guo and Ding Yue had to pack up their things. Sit astride.

Reed seemed to know that his master was going on a long journey, so he flicked his tail excitedly, snowflakes were flying in the sky, and the winter wind was cold, Yang Guo couldn't help but sneezed.

"Master, where are we going on this trip?"

Without waiting for Xie Yao to answer, Shentu Xingchong took off the ax behind his back and pointed to the sky: "Of course I want to kill the Mongolian Tatars!" Ding Yue was stunned for a moment, thinking of the first meeting between Shentu Xingchong and Shentu Xingchong in Xixia , also nodded: "I will kill with Senior Brother!"

Yang Guo looked at Xie Yao and called out, "Master?"

Xie Yao came back to his senses, sighed slightly, and said: "As a teacher, I was framed many years ago. The matter has not yet come to light. I have taught martial arts. How far you can practice depends on your own good fortune. Xingchong, you and Ah Yue is going to Shu, not to kill people, but to save people."

Shentu Xingchong and Ding Yue were stunned for a moment, and suddenly understood that Xie Yao had agreed with them to go to the place where the war was chaotic.

Just when the two were delighted, Xie Yao took out a crystal clear jade pendant from his bosom, handed the jade pendant to Yang Guo, and said in a fixed voice: "Guo Er, you are not yet proficient in martial arts, and you need someone to guide you. You take this jade pendant , go to the Zhongnan Ancient Tomb Sect, and let that dragon girl teach you martial arts, she dare not disobey her ancestors' will, and will teach you with all her heart."

Yang Guo was startled, and suddenly looked up to the sky and cried loudly: "Master, you...don't you want to live?"

Xie Yao was in a hurry, so he hurried forward and reached out to stroke his hair: "Where are you going, I can't get away from chasing the enemies all the way for the teacher, you are the youngest among the brothers, if you don't practice martial arts first, How to navigate the rivers and lakes? That Miss Long is a good person, please try to please her... she will never treat you badly." When he said this, he couldn't help smiling slightly when he thought of the good story between Yang Guo and the little dragon girl.

Yang Guo saw that he looked happy, so he stopped crying, raised his sleeves and wiped away his tears, put the jade pendant in his arms, nodded and said, "I will do whatever Master asks me to do." At the end, he muttered in a low voice, "For Why can't you just stay in Tianshan for the rest of your life?"

His voice was extremely soft, but Xie Yao and others could hear him clearly.

Xie Yao shook his head, and said in a deep voice: "At present, wars are burning and wars are recurring, and the world is in turmoil. We call ourselves a chivalrous school, and we should be upright and daring, and we must not settle down in one corner."

The three of them were all moved by his generous and heroic words, they suddenly became angry, and answered with their heads held high: "Disciple, remember!"

A gust of cold wind blew head-on, and Shentu Xingchong's dark face also glowed slightly red. He held up his ax and said loudly: "We have completed our studies, and it's a good time to show off our ambitions! We can get off the Mongolian iron cavalry!" One person is counted as one person if he is saved, and this time he is going down the mountain, he will regard eliminating violence and bringing peace to the good, helping the poor and the poor as his own responsibility, so as to inspire the glory of the disciples of the chivalrous sect!"

Hearing this, Ding Yue couldn't help gearing up, eager to try, and his heart was surging.

At this time, the snow was falling more and more heavily, and the eyebrows and hair of several people were dyed a layer of white.

Xie Yao looks back at the Tianshan Mountains through the boundless snowflakes, his eyes are firm and determined, and the cold wind blows his clothes, even if this is unexpected, the sky is far away, and he is still flying across thousands of rivers and mountains!

He raised his hand and said: "Let's go." After finishing speaking, he pulled the reins, the reed led his neck and neighed, and he started to run quickly.

Shentu Xingchong and others raised their whips and rode their horses, and followed them one after another. The four vigorous horses galloped like lightning, splashing light frost all the way, turning around in the mountains, and disappeared into the boundless world in the blink of an eye.
