Chapter 24: A Chance Encounter
The sun of Shen Shi slanted on the earth, warm and soft, and I sat in the pavilion and flipped through a copy of the Book of Changes. Since the last time Yan Lu gave me a general explanation, I have become interested in Zhou Yi, modern people take this book to divination fortune telling and talk about feng shui, I didn't expect it to have something to do with medicine, I thought that I would also learn, one more skill, maybe it would be useful after I went back. At this time, Tianming and Xunzi should have almost finished playing chess, and sure enough, after a while, I saw Zhang Liang coming from the direction of Banzhuyuan. "Where's the ovary?"
Zhang Liang's brows furrowed slightly, and a wry smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. "Hey, Ziming, this kid is really going to give me a problem. ”
If things are messed up, then Duanmu Rong is not hopeless? I asked worriedly, "What the hell is wrong?"
Zhang Liang paused and said, "Ziming played chess in Tianyuan in the first step. ”
"Huh?" "I'm sweating wildly, the first step to take Tianyuan is a mistake that novices will not make, take the wrong step, the chance of pulling over in the back is very small, but the opponent is Xunzi. "Zifang, how did you teach Ziming, this is all wrong, what should I do now!"
"Who told Yun'er not to help, when he heard that he was going to teach Ziming to play chess, he hid very quickly!" Zhang Liang blamed me, but his tone was unhurried.
"Otax, don't sell it, what's going on?" Seeing that he wasn't in a hurry at all, I didn't believe that things were messed up like this.
"As a result, of course, Ziming won. Zhang Liang said with a smile.
Hearing that Ziming won, I was relieved, and my hard work was not in vain, but it still made me a little unbelievable.
"Really? The first step is to take Tianyuan, can you still win?"
"Can't you?" Zhang Liang raised his eyebrows and cast an arrogant smile.
"Okay, you're amazing!"
I smiled at him, and secretly wondered in my heart: Zhang Liang is not a normal person? Xunzi's chess skills must be at the grandmaster level, and Tianming's first step is to Tianyuan, so he can solve such brain-burning problems, and he has to admire his very high IQ.
"Tomorrow, Uncle Xun will go to treat Miss Rong, Yun'er will find an excuse to go with Tianming, look at Ziming, don't go wrong again. ”
"Okay. ”
"I'm in trouble. ”
"Where, I'm trying to go out for a walk, and I'm about to suffocate me. ”
"Okay, I won't bother Yun'er to read. Zhang Liang rubbed his hands together, looking respectful, but his tone was full of ridicule.
I glanced at him, and simply learned Xunzi's cold and strict tone, and said word by word: "Well~good~, go~~" With a wave of my hand, Zhang Liang chuckled, turned around and flipped away.
***
Early the next morning, I took Tianming to ask Xunzi to go to the doctor.
"Uncle Xun is polite, Shen Yun was about to go out for a walk when he met Ziming, I heard that he was going out too, so he came together, I don't know if I can go along?"
"Well, okay, let's go. Xunzi looked at me, nodded, and didn't notice anything strange, I was relieved, and followed them into the carriage out of the city.
Not long after the carriage was bumpy and bumpy and just got out of the city, Xunzi suddenly shouted, "Stop!".
The carriage braked suddenly, and there was silence all around. Xunzi said: "Listen, there is movement. ”
I don't know why, it's just the birdsong, what else can I hear?
"Eh, uh-huh~~~" Tianming's eyebrows were raised, his eyes rolled, and he turned his ears and listened carefully for a while. "Well, there are nine horses, one in front and eight in the back.
Xun Zi nodded with a very appreciative expression, and then explained: "Let's go to the side of the bushes to hide first and see what the situation is." ”
The coachman pulled up behind the bushes, and we hid behind, and in a moment we saw a man in a white robe galloping in the distance on a white horse, chasing a group of men who were shouting savagely, sounding like robbers.
Suddenly, an arrow flew out and hit the horse's leg, and the white horse neighed and fell to the ground. The man in white did a somersault, put his hand on the ground, and landed steadily.
The bandits rushed up, surrounded the man in white, and threatened him: "What's the matter, can't you escape?" I have long told you that this is the territory of the masters. You can't fly out with your wings on!"
"Ladies and gentlemen, here is just an ordinary merchant passing by here, but you are still trying to catch up and refuse to let me live. The man in white waved his hands, his face did not change, and there was no trace of wolf in his expression. He has a pair of sword eyebrows, his eyes are long and upward, his eyes are warm and domineering, he is wearing a white cloak and robe, his temperament is elegant and refined, and his gestures are extraordinary, and he seems to be a bit of a person.
"Do you want me to let you live?First of all, you have to give the uncles a way to make money, right, brothers!hahahaha~~~"
"You've already plundered your belongings, and your followers have been victimized, so I don't know what else to do?" the man in white said in a steady and unhurried tone.
"I see that not only do you have money around you, but your family should be even richer, so it is better to go back to the cottage with your uncle for a few days, and let your family bring you back with the money!
"Don't mess around!" the man in white raised his sword eyebrows, revealing a hint of heroic spirit.
"If you resist, cut off your hands first!" The bandits' faces were hideous and threatening, and their voices were rough and unbearable.
Here, Tianming asked Xunzi, "Do you want to save people?"
Xunzi didn't answer, just nodded slowly.
Tianming hesitated for a moment and shouted, "Stop!" Surprised me, and before I could come back to my senses, Xunzi and Tianming had already reached the middle of the road. I had no choice but to lower my body and hide behind the bushes, watching carefully.
When the bandits saw Tianming and Xunzi, they all burst into laughter.
"An old man who has half cut into the ground, and a child who has not dried up, come to fight unevenly, then there is really no need to pick! Get out of my way, it's not my uncle who is happy to get rich today, and you will definitely not be able to eat and walk around!" the leader of the bandits shouted unbridledly.
Tianming was not to be outdone, and said provocatively: "You are the ones who should get out of the way, if it weren't for the joy of my lunch today, you would definitely not be able to eat and walk around." "I'm a little apprehensive, where did this leopard come from so dare to speak so loudly?
"I've cleaned up these two fools who don't know what to do!" the bandit leader ordered, and the bandits all raised their big knives and galloped towards Tianming and Xunzi. At the last moment, Tianming looked at Xunzi, as if waiting for Xunzi to make a move, but Xunzi did not move at all, shook his head, Tianming was suddenly shocked and shouted: "Master doesn't know martial arts?!I won't either~~!!"
I was shocked, and a cold sweat broke out on the top of my head, were these two people sent to death? They don't know martial arts!
But Xunzi's expression was unusually calm, Chong Tianming blinked, and pointed with his hand. It turned out that Tianming already had a strange weapon in his hand, and after a few brushes, it instantly transformed into a strangely shaped sword, I was completely dumbfounded, is this the rush of Transformers?
There was a chaotic sound, and I didn't even see how Tianming made a move, and several bandits fell off their horses. I didn't expect Tianming to have such ability, it's really amazing! Suddenly, a hand strangled my neck from behind, and the cold light of the blade shook in front of my eyes, and I only felt a cold side of my neck, which was already tightly pressed against the blade. My whole body froze and didn't dare to move.
"Stop, if you dare to move, I'll kill her!"
As soon as the words fell, there was silence. Everyone's eyes turned to me in horror.
Seeing this, the man in white immediately stepped forward and said, "This benevolent brother, you just want me to go with you, why hurt the innocent, you let this girl go, I will go with you." ”
"Okay, tie him up!"
Another bandit, who had not yet been injured, picked up the rope and was about to tie up the man in white, when suddenly there was a scream, and the bandit behind me shook his hand, and the knife snapped to the ground. When I turned around, I saw him holding his hands, falling to the ground and rolling straight, looking very painful, and his hands were bleeding profusely. Hearing another scream, the bandit who was about to tie up the man in white was also knocked to the ground, as if it was done by Tianming, he was still holding a sword in his hand, and his expression was rarely murderous. Several of the bandits fell to the ground, and those who could still stand also rode on their horses and fled in disgrace. I was relieved and took a deep breath, glad that I didn't die.
"More life-saving graces!" the man in white waved his hands and looked sincere.
The weapon in Tianming's hand turned into a short cuboid again, he thrust it into his waist, and said, "Accept and accept!" I was stunned again, and couldn't help but look at Tianming with admiration, worthy of being the giant of the Mo family, hidden deeply!
The man in white looked at me, smiled, and said, "I'm sorry to frighten this girl!"
"I'm okay, I'm fine, I'm not surprised at all with this martial arts brother... Illustrious. I looked at Tianming, and although I was obviously lacking in confidence, I still pretended to smile calmly.
Tianming blinked at me angrily: "Of course, the third master has a mistake, and she can't go to the third division!"
My face was red, and I really wanted to smoke Tianming, this kid, why is it really annoying to make fun of me all day long, don't mention that Zhang Liang will die?
The smile on the corner of the white-clothed man's mouth deepened, and he shook his head lightly as if he was amused, and his eyes suddenly fixed on the inside of my neck, reminding: "Girl, there is a wound on your neck that is bleeding. ”
I touched the place where the blade had just been hit, and sure enough, there was a smear of blood on my hand, and then I noticed a slight pain in the wound.
The man in white took out a jar from his waist and walked up to me and handed it to me. "This is my family's unique gold sore medicine, which the girl uses to apply to the wound, and it will heal in a few days without leaving a scar. ”
"Thank you then~" I smiled politely at him.
"It's time for me to thank you, girl, put it on. He reminded gently.
I wanted to deal with the wound after I went back, but he looked at me with concern and couldn't take his eyes off it, as if he was relieved to see me smeared it, I was slightly stunned and looked at Xunzi. Xunzi took the medicine bottle, opened it and looked at it, nodded and handed it back to me, and I dipped some ointment and applied it to the wound. The man in white took out a brocade handkerchief from his sleeve again: "Girl, let's bandage it briefly, it's better soon." ”
He was so attentive that I was a little embarrassed, and took the handkerchief and smiled awkwardly: "Thank you!"
"Please ask the benefactor's honorable name, and I will repay you after the next day. ”
Although the man in white spoke sincerely, Xunzi just turned around with a cold smile and urged me and Tianming: "We still have something to do, let's go."
We got into the carriage with Xunzi. The man in white stood in place and was slightly stunned, but still asked unrelentingly: "A few people, please leave their names!" It seems that he is a person who knows how to repay his kindness.
"Ziming Xiaoyou, your tricks are completely different from other swordsmanship, they seem strange and even a little vulgar, but they are accurate and effective, and the power is amazing, I don't know which sect you come from?" Xun Zi asked with a twist of his beard.
"Amount...... I don't understand this, I just learned a few tricks from Shopkeeper Ding some time ago to solve his knife. Tianming touched his head and smiled silly.
My head is confused, but can I still use such an effect with the knife technique of solving the cow? This time and space is so mysterious, I am really convinced! In the future, I really can't run around, there are strange people and things everywhere, and I can't guarantee that I don't know how I died. And Tianming's weapon, what kind of ingenious thing is that, and it can be transformed! Next time, I must borrow it to study, is it Mozi's invention?
"Third Master, did you hurt the bandit who caught you just now?" Tianming suddenly asked.
"I? No, I thought it was strange that I didn't understand why he was injured for no reason. You didn't do it?"
"It's not me!, who could it be!?" Tianming was puzzled.
Xunzi on the side just looked at us, smiled slightly, and was silent.
