Chapter 23: Master

Zhong Mengqiu wanted to go with Ma Xie, she claimed that she was afraid that this Master Yuan would deceive Ma Xie, and Ma Xie thought about it, after all, this is a matter for the Zhong family brothers and sisters, and it is not appropriate to go alone.

On the way, Zhong Mengqiu chattered non-stop, mostly listening to some legends of the Tianwu Sect that his brother had replaced.

"Why does your brother have to send you to the Heavenly Martial Sect?" asked Ma Xie.

Zhong Mengqiu seemed to have something on her mind, she thought for a while and said: "My father and mother used to be martial artists in Tianwu City, and their greatest wish was to be able to enter the outer gate of Tianwu Sect, but unfortunately they are just second-rate martial artists, and they have not stepped into Tianwu Sect after working hard for half a life, and my father was seriously injured because of this, so he and my mother have been wandering the rivers and lakes since then, doing some bodyguard and escort work." ”

In fact, in the rivers and lakes, second-rate martial arts are enough to gain a foothold, and it is okay to be a dart master, or to be a family member of a nursing home for some dignitaries, or even to join the army, but in this world, this is still the bottom after all, in Zhong Mengqiu's words, it is just better than farming.

Ma Xie nodded, it seems that this brother and sister just want to return to Tianwu Sect and complete a regret of their parents.

"What about you, are you from any sect? My brother said that your martial arts are very high, maybe you have already reached the acquired realm, I heard that only a small number of people can reach this realm, and in some sects they are already elders. ”

"I'm not from any sect, but my master used to be from the Tianwu Sect, but my master had left the Tianwu Sect for a long time when he accepted me as an apprentice. Ma Xie said to Zhong Mengqiu.

Zhong Mengqiu said happily: "Then you can also be regarded as a member of the Tianwu Sect, will you go back to the Tianwu Sect to continue to study the arts?"

Ma Xie looked into the distance and said calmly: "I may never go to the Tianwu Sect, let alone become a disciple of the Tianwu Sect. ”

Zhong Mengqiu let out an "oh" in disappointment, she thought that Ma Xie had already entered other sects, and she couldn't help but feel a little lost when she thought that she would be separated from Ma Xie soon.

Ma Xie also thought of the master, and the two suddenly lost their words for a while, and came to Master Yuan's house in silence. Ma Xie had come to Master Yuan's house before, and took Zhong Mengqiu to the hall of Master Yuan's house with a familiar car.

That Master Yuan obviously heard that Ma Xie had come back with a bear skin, so he was waiting for him in the hall, but his face was gloomy, obviously blaming Ma Xie for ruining his good deeds.

But where can Ma Xie manage this, he put the bear skin in front of Master Yuan, and said to Master Yuan: "Master Yuan, this is the bear skin given to you by the Zhong family brothers and sisters, it should be enough to pay off the debt!"

"I've heard you've got bear paws and bear bile back. Master Yuan's eyes lit up, he couldn't get the piece of land, and he had to peel off another layer of skin from the two brothers and sisters.

Zhong Mengqiu hurriedly said: "This has nothing to do with Master Yuan, right?

Master Yuan was choked, so boring, he took out the IOU and tore it in front of Zhong Mengqiu, then waved his hand and said, "Let's go, master, I'm going to rest." ”

Zhong Mengqiu pulled Ma Xie and was about to leave, but Ma Xie remained motionless and asked, "Master Yuan, have you forgotten something?"

Master Yuan was confused, squinted his eyes and said, "I forgot something, did I say something?"

Ma Xie was suddenly a little angry, this Master Yuan clearly said yesterday that he would tell his master the news, how could he turn around and deny it today?

Seeing that Ma Xie was about to have a seizure, Master Yuan restrained a little and said, "Oh, I remember, you want to inquire about your master's news! That white-clothed swordsman and those three young men went all the way east the day before yesterday! You go to find it, maybe he is waiting for you in front." ”

In fact, where did Master Yuan know where Mu Xunfeng was, he just said casually, he wanted to send away Ma Xie as soon as possible, otherwise if Ma Xie was really angry, he wouldn't be able to beat him.

General Ma Xie looked at Master Yuan suspiciously, and said, "Are you sure you saw my master? How old is he? Tall and short, Where did you see him?"

Master Yuan couldn't answer the question for a while, so he could only say: "I forgot, I couldn't see clearly when it was dark at that time." ”

"Nonsense, didn't you say that your dealer saw it?" Ma Xie discovered the flaw in Master Yuan's words, and Master Yuan was speechless for a while.

At this time, Zhong Mengqiu said: "Don't follow Lao Bangzi nonsense, he must be lying, Ma Xie, you have to teach him a lesson." Ma Xie also wanted to do this, but when he thought of the master's repeated teachings not to bully the weak with a gun, how could he bully such a powerless old man?

He turned around and left the Yuan family's compound, and Zhong Mengqiu chased after him.

"Why don't you clean him up, he's obviously using you!" Zhong Mengqiu didn't understand at all, and was upset for Ma Xie.

"Even if I kill him, it won't help, not to mention that if he doesn't trick me, how can I help you?" Ma Xie said calmly, Ma Xie knew that he could vent his anger on Master Yuan, but he didn't want to do it at all, and now he was no longer the hairy boy who had just come out of the mountains and forests.

But where can I find the master? Ma Xie is back to the beginning.

"If your master did pass by this town, I think one person must have seen it. Zhong Mengqiu said.

"Really, then take me to him!" Ma Xie was very excited.

Zhong Mengqiu didn't know why Ma Xie was in such a hurry to find his master, but Zhong Mengqiu still took Ma Xie to find the person who "must have seen Mu Xunfeng".

The two of them walked out of the town and came to the top of a small hill on the north side of the town, on which there was a ruined temple, and in front of the temple there was only a dead old tree.

"You said anyone here had seen my master?" asked Ma Xie in disbelief.

Zhong Mengqiu nodded, suddenly became serious, she put her middle finger in front of her mouth, and said "shhhhhh I saw Zhong Mengqiu standing respectfully in front of the broken temple, and said softly: "Disciple Zhong Mengqiu pays a visit to the master." ”

No one in the temple answered, Ma Xie thought that there was no one in the temple, and was just about to pull Zhong Mengqiu away, only to hear an old voice suddenly come from the temple: "You all come in." ”

Zhong Mengqiu led Ma Xie into the temple, and an old man who described a withered old man was sitting cross-legged on a futon, this old man had no hair, and Ma Xie saw that there were six white dots on his head.

"Ma Xie, this is Master Deadwood, he once instructed me once, he is the master of Jingci Temple, and he has been practicing here for many years. This matter within a radius of dozens of miles can't escape his eyes. ”

Master Deadwood still closed his eyes tightly, Ma Xie couldn't see anything unusual, but he also knew that the old man in front of him was the "monk" he had heard of.

Ma Xie opened his mouth and said: "Master, the kid has the liberty to ask for something, I wonder if the master has seen a white-clothed swordsman in his thirties a few days ago, chasing after three younger warriors. ”

Master Deadwood opened his eyes and looked at Ma Xie and said, "They are facing each other in the Purple Bamboo Hall in the southwest of here at this moment. ”

Ma Xie couldn't believe his ears, could it be that this master had clairvoyance? He really knew about things within a radius of thirty miles? Zhong Mengqiu saw that Ma Xie didn't believe it, so he said to him: "This Deadwood Master is a cultivator, I practiced at home a few years ago, and accidentally went mad, it was this Deadwood Master who came to the rescue, he has great powers, the master said that your master is there, your master must be there!"

At this point, Ma Xie had nothing to hesitate about, he immediately set off and walked towards the Purple Bamboo Hall in the southwest of here.
