The mountains are still like that, the water is still the same water, everything is still everything......

Where dreams haunt me, I finally saw it again, what a familiar grass and trees, this mountain and water......

Song Xiaofu let the horse drive freely.

Finally back to my hometown. The sight greeted him as if it was welcoming him.

A small wooden bridge crossed by large pine trees appeared in front of me.

He couldn't help but think, "How many times have I walked back and forth from above, and there are footprints of my childhood. Can I still find it in that puddle of water now?"

The old locust tree by the bridge has not changed at all, but the past has become more distant: one day in May, I climbed a tree to pick peaches and tore my trousers, and my mother pulled me to sit on the smooth old roots of your bulging old tree where people sat and sewed my trousers for me. Spring goes to autumn, and you are still ...... But, what about my mother? My mother, my son has returned.

His eyes moved quickly and urgently, and he couldn't wait to land on a clearing. This is a flat and vast open space, and the thatched hut and the courtyard surrounded by a fence seem to have disappeared in front of Song Xiaofu's eyes in an instant.

It's like a dream!

It was already overgrown with madweeds, and through the grass, a stove made of yellow clay could be faintly seen, which had been beaten by the wind and rain.

Song Xiaofu's heart tightened suddenly! He whipped the horse's buttocks fiercely, causing the horse to whine and run wildly in pain.

When he came to Qingyin Temple, Song Xiaofu dismounted, knocked on the door and shouted: "Daddy, open the door, I'm scared...... Daddy......"

The empty mountain was silent, and there was no sound in the Qingyin Temple, only his fluttering echo......

"Daddy, Daddy...... Jingwu ...... "Song Xiaofu was sad, he didn't think it was bad to be a monk, but his father became a monk, which shows how heartbroken and lonely he has been over the years. "Dad, the child is so unfilial. I haven't been able to accept happiness for so many years. Daddy, I'm back, the baby is back. "He's so excited, so excited...... He climbed over the wall and entered the hospital, and entered the main hall.

There was no one in the hall, and not even the incense in the furnace was lit. When he came to the chamber, there was no one to be seen. Song Xiaofu said in his heart: "Didn't Sunset say that my father has never been out of the temple gate in the past few years? Where has he gone now?" Seeing that everything in the temple was in order, it didn't seem that there was any accident, and he was a little relieved.

During the Qingming season, the rain is miserable.

Song Xiaofu knelt in front of his mother's grave, letting the miserable drizzle blow, and his heart was sad......

"Mother, the child has come back to see you. Do you know that the emperor has already made me an official? The mother and child have grown up, are you happy for the child? The child will honor his ancestors, serve the court from now on, and do his duty...... Mother, do you hear the words of the child? will you see the child dressed in velvet and riding a war horse, galloping on the battlefield?......

Song Xiaofu muttered, kept talking, talking about everything about himself and everything...... He had so much to say to his mother......

It wasn't until it was completely dark that he reluctantly left Qingyin Temple.

Half a month has passed, and the Nine Absolute Dharma Kings have evaporated like hot air, and more than 100,000 people can't find him. On that day, Song Xiaofu said to Du Tiancheng: "The Nine Absolute Dharma King did not appear in the north, maybe he used the power of the Sea King Gang in Jiangnan to make a detour to return to China." Du Tiancheng agreed with his speculation, so as soon as Song Xiaofu's injury was healed, he immediately returned to Jiangnan.

On that day, Du Tiancheng went out of the city with him.

The morning sun is rising, like a fire.

Song Xiaofu said: "Today is a good weather. ”

"Yes. Du Tiancheng said loudly: "Let's break up, the old man goes north, you go south." When it was over, Du Tiancheng also handed Song Xiaofu a ----- of the letter of appointment, and said: "This is the old man asking the emperor for you, the pioneer of Liao." ”

Song Xiaofu didn't know how big this official position was, but he understood Du Tiancheng's intentions and hopes, and said: "I will definitely live up to Du Lao's expectations, as soon as this matter is over, I will go to the front line to kill the enemy and serve the country." The morning sun shone on his face, full of vigor and dazzling glass.

"A man should be like this!" followed by Du Tiancheng's hearty laughter......

He hurried back to Suzhou non-stop and found Bai Rutang, who had come back before him, but still couldn't inquire about any movements of the Nine Absolute Dharma Kings.

Jiangnan is as calm as a pool of stagnant water, and even the Sea Kings Gang is nowhere to be found.

He began to doubt his guess, and he decided to go to the north tomorrow, even if Chen Wanxia was taken to Liao, he would do whatever it took to save her.

But he didn't expect that when he was in a hurry to Liaoguo, something unexpected happened on the way not far from Suzhou.

After a hasty meal in a small town, he was about to lead his horse on his way when a seven or eight-year-old boy gave him a letter. He opened it and looked forward, and saw a carriage parked on the side of the avenue in front of him, and thought, "Who is making a mystery?" walked to the carriage, lifted the curtain, and saw a person lying flat in the car, it turned out to be Hu Tianzhen, and what surprised him even more was that Hu Tianzhen's face was as pale as paper, as if he had suffered a serious internal injury.

Song Xiaofu shouted: "Miss Hu, Miss Hu ......" and screamed several times but she didn't respond. Song Xiaofu was in a hurry, and in a blink of an eye, he saw a blank piece of paper left beside her, picked it up and looked at it, only to see that it was written: Take Hu Tianzhen away from the rivers and lakes, remember not to take her back to Shenjian Villa, don't forget it!

Song Xiaofu said in his heart: "Miss Hu went back to Shenjian Villa with Hongming, what happened to Shenjian Villa? What about Hongming? Why does Miss Hu stay away from the rivers and lakes and is not allowed to return to Shenjian Villa? Who is this person?" "I drove the carriage and found the doctor in the town.

The doctor checked Hu Tianzhen's pulse and said, "This girl's internal breath is weak, and it is beyond the power of medicine. The old man can't do anything, you can prepare her for the future. ”

Song Xiaofu asked: "Is she really so badly injured?" The doctor said: "The old man has been practicing medicine for more than ten years, and he has never misdiagnosed, this girl seems to have been hit hard in the chest, and she has no skills to recover." It's a pity to be so young, it's a pity to ......."

Song Xiaofu was at a loss for a while, and said in his heart: "A very terrible change must have happened in the Divine Sword Villa. "Don't go past the doctor, drive to Excalibur Villa.

At nightfall, Excalibur Villa was already in sight. Song Xiaofu looked back at Hu Tianzhen and saw that her face was even more terrifying. Without waiting for the carriage to stop, he hurriedly got out of the car with Hu Tianzhen in his arms, and called the door: "Hongming, open the door quickly, Hongming ......" Seeing that the gate was empty, he slammed the door with his shoulder and entered the courtyard.

The courtyard was quiet, there was no one in sight, and there were no lights in the hall.

Song Xiaofu hugged Hu Tianzhen and ran straight to the backyard, shouting: "Hongming, Hongming......"

There were no lights in the backyard, and a figure faintly walked from the small stone bridge on the opposite lake in the darkness, and said, "Is it Xiaofu?"

Song Xiaofu said anxiously: "Hongming, it's me, come here, Miss Hu, she ......"

The figure was Ouyang Hongming, he saw Song Xiaofu holding Hu Tianzhen, he was anxious, his heart couldn't help sinking, and said, "What's wrong with my cousin?" After taking Hu Tianzhen, his voice began to tremble: "What's wrong with her, cousin, what's wrong with you......?"

Song Xiaofu said: "I don't know what's going on, she seems to have suffered a lot of internal injuries......

Ouyang Hongming didn't have time to listen carefully, so he cried and shouted, "Daddy, please save your cousin...... Hurry up...... "Run to my father's study."

Song Xiaofu was stunned for a moment, and asked in surprise: "Ouyang Daxia is back?" Ouyang Hongming said: "Dad has always been in the village, I'll tell you in detail later." Dad, come out quickly, cousin, she's hurt......"

Song Xiaofu said: "Then he ......" suddenly said: "Hongming be careful!" rushed ahead of Ouyang Hongming. His eyesight was abnormal at this time, although it was dark night, he saw a person rushing out from behind the rockery towards Ouyang Hongming. He slapped his palm at the man, although his palm power was strong, but his palm technique was ordinary, the man bent his legs, avoided the palm force, rushed to Ouyang Hongming, and kicked Ouyang Hongming head-on.

Ouyang Hongming hugged Hu Tiannaïve, it was not easy to dodge, and Song Xiaofu followed closely.

The person who knew that he didn't kick Ouyang Hongming, his figure in mid-air actually flew as he wished, and he suddenly leaned back, his hands were like rings, he probed for things, and he had already touched Song Xiaofu's arms!

Song Xiaofu didn't have time to draw his sword, and he was in a hurry. But he heard the man's hoarse voice say, "You still bring her back?" Song Xiaofu was stunned for a moment, wanting to take a closer look at the man's face, but the man chased after Ouyang Hongming again, and could only see the outline of his back.

Suddenly, he shouted, "Who dares to go to the Divine Sword Mountain Villa to spread wild?"

Ouyang Hongming shouted happily: "Daddy......"

The man was taken aback and said, "Ouyang...... Climb the peak!" turned around and ran.

Ouyang Dengfeng said: "Since you are here, don't be in such a hurry to leave." ”

Ouyang Hongming said: "Daddy, leave him alone." Save my cousin. Ouyang Dengfeng glanced at Hu Tianzhen, his expression was grim, and said, "Who hurt Tianzhen like this?"

Song Xiaofu stepped forward and said, "The junior accidentally found Miss Hu in a carriage at noon, and the doctor said that she was hit hard and her life was in danger......

Ouyang Dengfeng glanced at Song Xiaofu and said, "You are Song Xiaofu? Hongming mentioned you, and it was really good." The innocence was injured by the master of internal strength who was extremely harmful. ”

Ouyang Hongming said: "Dad, then you can save her." I'm so badly wounded, you can save me, you must wake her up, child......"

Ouyang Dengfeng carefully checked Hu Tianzhen's pulse and said, "Don't worry, my father will do his best to save the innocent." You accompany Song Xiaofu first, and then your father will talk to Song Xiaofu. took Hu Tianzhen and said, "The old man wants to carry her to the secret room to heal her injuries." Song Shaoxia, the old man is out of company. ”

Song Xiaofu said: "Ouyang Daxia, it's important to save people." ”

Ouyang Dengfeng said: "Don't call me the old man, just call me Uncle Ouyang, don't be in a hurry to leave, stay in the villa for a few more days and accompany Hongming." ”

Watching Ouyang Dengfeng enter the secret room, Ouyang Hongming said nervously: "Xiaofu, you said that cousin she will be fine, right?" Song Xiaofu said: "Uncle Ouyang's miraculous skills are world-famous, there must be a way, don't worry." Ouyang Hongming said: "I believe in Dad, but I'm still worried." Cousin, you must not be fine, you must not be fine. "He couldn't calm down for a while.

Song Xiaofu said: "I saw that the villa was dark just now, and I thought there was no one in the village, why didn't you light the lamp? Ouyang Hongming said: "I'm a little annoyed. Hey, you haven't eaten yet, Uncle Chi, Uncle Chi ......"

The housekeeper Chi Zhihui obviously didn't know that something earth-shaking had happened at this time, and when he heard the shout, he didn't know where to get out, and said, "Young Master, what do you command?"

Ouyang Hongming said: "Xiaofu hasn't eaten yet, please cook a little food for him." ”

Chi Zhihui glanced at Song Xiaofu and said, "If you want it, if you want it, I'll go first." ”
