In the evening, the temple fair of the Dragon King Festival is even more lively, and the streets are crowded, and a huge colored paper dragon lantern is carried to the street, and many people are dancing around.

Bao Yan and Pang Yu carried a child on their shoulders, and followed Tianzun to drill around in the crowd, Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang saw that many people crowded forward to see, so they subconsciously let out, anyway, Xiao Sizi and Xiao Liangzi sat high and could be seen at a glance. Tianzun has white hair and is obvious, and it is no problem if these people don't lose it.

Zhan Zhao looked at it for a while and suddenly smelled a fragrance, looked left and right, and found that there were many food stalls not far away that he had never seen, so he patted Bai Yutang, "Are you hungry?" ”

Bai Yutang did feel a little hungry, so he nodded.

"You look at them, I'll buy them." After speaking, Zhanzhao disappeared in a flash.

Bai Yutang shook his head, turned his head, and found that there were more and more people in front of him, and he was a little helpless, did Kaifeng have so many idlers......

Just as he was watching, he heard Zhanzhao's voice behind him, "Yutang!" ”

Bai Yutang turned around, and saw Zhan Zhao hurriedly running over with a spoon, reaching out and grabbing his wrist and pulling it away.

Bai Yutang was puzzled, "What are you doing?" ”

"Come and see!" Zhan Zhao pulled Bai Yutang to a notice board not far away. There are several pieces of this kind of high notice board in Kaifeng Mansion, and the yellow lists put by the basic government are posted on the city wall, while some wanted notices for the murderer and some civil bounties and notices such as searching for people are posted on this kind of list.

Zhan Zhao pulled Bai Yutang to a notice board and motioned for him to look.

Bai Yutang glanced at it and frowned......

Pasted on the Yellow Gang is a portrait of Bai Yutang who does not know the person on the portrait, with a beard and a scarf.

But the list next to it made Bai Yutang feel surprised.

What is written on the list is that a reward is offered to capture the scum "Ye Zhiqiu", and it is also said that he is ferocious and extremely dangerous, and so far he has carried more than 100 lives, and they are all innocent people, and the reward is as high as 10,000 taels of silver.

Zhanzhao was eating fish balls at a fish ball shop next to the notice board when he was waiting for the barbecue, and as soon as he ate one, he saw the reward order on the notice list, and he was also surprised when he saw it, and went to Bai Yutang with a spoon in his mouth.

Zhan Zhao pointed to the portrait on the bounty order and asked, "This is Ye Zhiqiu?" ”

Bai Yutang frowned, "I'm not sure ......"

"Haven't you seen it?" Zhan Zhao was curious.

"He's supposed to be my age, and he's very short." Bai Yutang pointed to the man's beard, "This person feels very burly, and he looks like he is in his thirties...... Not at all. ”

"It doesn't look like you're in your twenties, right?" Zhan Zhao didn't feel like it, "That's someone impersonating?" ”

Bai Yutang shook his head, indicating that he was not sure.

"Then is Ye Zhiqiu the type you have in your impression who will kill so many people?" Zhan Zhao was curious.

Bai Yutang shook his head, "I've only met once, and he's indeed very weird, but he doesn't feel like a bad person." ”

Zhan Zhao touched his chin, "It feels like ......"

Bai Yutang stared at the bounty order for a while, frowning, "Kill so many people......

"Now it's the public enemy of the entire martial arts." Zhan Zhao asked Bai Yutang, "Just now the two children took back his knife, and you also came forward to help, there may be trouble." ”

Bai Yutang frowned, "If he really killed so many people, he really shouldn't help him......"

"But those two little children don't look like they're helping the most vicious." Zhan Zhao frowned, "It is written here that he has committed a lot of crimes, but why is his knife in the hands of Tian Bao?" It feels a bit complicated. ”

"With a master of his level, there is a big difference between having a three-edged bone knife and not having a knife, if he is really murderous and hunted down, he may kill more people with this knife." Bai Yutang frowned.

"But if he was wronged, having this knife could save his own life." Zhan Zhao said, "This matter should not be so simple, it is better to find out." Besides, killing so many people is not a problem...... Those two children couldn't run far when they looked at it, Ye Zhiqiu should be in Kaifeng City. ”

Bai Yutang looked at the noisy crowd and said to Zhan Zhao, "I'll go find him, you look at my master and them." ”

Zhanzhao frowned, "Why are you robbing me of my work?" You leave it and I'll find it. ”

Bai Yutang suddenly stretched out his hand and pointed behind him, "It says the world's most delicious food over there." ”

"What?!" Zhan Zhao hurriedly turned his face to look and found that there was nothing, and then turned back - Bai Yutang was gone.

"Tsk! Cunning rats! Zhan Zhao stomped his feet and pointed to the void beside him, "Follow him." ”

The people around him definitely didn't know what Zhan Zhao was doing, but the shark shark who had been following Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang had already flashed...... followed Bai Yutang.

Bai Yutang arrived at the mouth of the alley just now and saw a strip of cloth falling on the ground.

Picking up the strip of cloth, Bai Yutang raised his head and whistled at the roof of the towering meow tower in the distance......

The whistle was not too loud, but it was carried far away with internal force...... After a while, a shadow appeared overhead.

Bai Yutang raised his head, and he flapped his wings and fell.

Bai Yutang sniffed the strip of cloth and turned over on the back of the man, afraid of its head.

The group spread its wings and flew into the sky, flying forward at a low altitude, and the lively crowd below came to visit the temple fair, and the people were densely crowded, and the shark kept flying in the direction of the southern suburbs, and soon ...... Out of town.

No matter how fast the two children move, their feet are limited. Bai Yutang saw that the man next to him suddenly stretched out his hand and pointed down.

The fifth master looked down...... The two children were running wildly in front of them, and they saw that their skills were still good, especially the girl, who was extremely dexterous. But in the collision just now, she seemed to have sprained her foot a little, and her movements were a little awkward. And although the boy is very young, he already knows some light skills, and it is not too difficult to follow the girl.

At the same time, Bai Yutang also discovered another situation, that is, someone was secretly following the two children.

The target is too big, and if you get closer, it will be easy to be discovered.

Bai Yutang reached out and patted Mi Mi's head, pointed to it, and then jumped off Mi Mi's back. He spread his wings and flew high into the sky, hiding above the clouds, following Bai Yutang like a bird, not attracting attention at all.

Bai Yutang arrived in the forest, followed behind the two children, and frowned - there were a lot of people who were following, and their martial arts were good. No need to ask, these people followed the two children to hunt down Ye Zhiqiu...... Judging from their tracking skills, they don't look like ordinary charlatans, but like - killers?

Bai Yutang was suspicious in his heart, and he didn't act rashly, he just ran along.

While following, Bai Yutang remembered the scene when he first met Ye Zhiqiu about three years ago.

It was in Jinhua Mansion, during the Qingming Festival, he and his father went back to their hometown to sweep the tomb.

On a section of mountain road, I met an old monk.

The old monk was holding a string of ropes, stepping on a stone and about to hang himself.

Bai Yutang felt that this was really fresh, and the monk even committed suicide......

His father Bai Xia is also a funny character, so he ran forward and asked, "Master, you can't open the empty door even after you have escaped into the empty door?" ”

The monk shook his head vigorously, "Oh, it's not interesting to touch me, it's not interesting to live." ”

Bai Yutang and Bai Xia glanced at each other.

The monk tied the knot and was about to drill his neck, Bai Xia was startled, stepped forward and hugged him, "Oh, the master can't help it!" “

The monk's head hadn't been drilled into yet, but when he was hugged by Bai Xia, a stumbling head was drilled into the rope sleeve, and Bai Xia still hugged his legs and fell off the stone together, and the old monk was strangled and stuck out his tongue.

Bai Yutang was speechless, is his father saving or harming people?

Raising his hand, a piece of black jade flying locust stone broke the rope, and Bai Yutang went over to help his father first, and then the old monk.

Half of the monk's life was gone, and he patted his chest and coughed.

Bai Xia asked him, "Great monk, why are you looking for death?" ”

The monk cried while patting his bald head, "Monk, my life is miserable!" ”

The corners of Bai Xia and Bai Yutang's mouths twitched—this monk's six roots must not be broken.

At this time, Bai Yutang heard footsteps all around, and he also felt a murderous aura.

Frowning and looking at the forest not far away, he saw a group of people killed, each fierce and vicious with swords.

"Luo Zichai! Don't think that you will be a hundred when you leave home, unless you hand over the knife, I will send you to Huangquan Road! The first one raised his sword and pointed at the monk. Bian waved his hand at Bai Yutang and Bai Xiayi, "Get out of the way, otherwise you won't be responsible for losing your life!" ”

Bai Yutang was a little surprised, and looked back at the monk, "Are you the swordsmith Luo Zichai?" ”

Monk recites the Buddha directly, "Amitabha Amitabha...... The old monk has not made knives for many years, and he is guilty of sin. ”

Bai Yutang frowned.

Luo Zichai is famous in the rivers and lakes, he is a master of casting weapons, especially good at casting knives.

There are several knives cast by Luo Zichai in Tianzun's collection, but I heard that Luo Zichai is kind-hearted and cowardly, and thinks that the manufacture of weapons is used to kill, which is equivalent to someone dying in his hands, so he hid in Tibet incognito. Helplessly, he is always remembered for his stunts, and he is timid and small, and he obediently helps people cast knives when he is scared, so he lives a bit tragically.

However, Luo Zichai kept an eye on it, every time he cast a knife, he would look at the character and conduct of the person who asked him to forge the knife. If the man is a wicked man, he will leave a flaw in the sword he forges, and forge a sword that can be matched with it, and give it to a knight of good character. Probably because of this, it caused the disaster of killing......

In addition, the most powerful knife that Luo Zichai forged in his life was the three-edged bone knife he made from whalebone, which is said to be able to restrain or even cut off all the knives he had cast before.

"Hand over the Three-Bladed Bone Knife! Just spare you from dying, otherwise you will ......" The dialogue is vicious, showing the blade.

Luo Zichai was worthy of being one of the most timid in the rivers and lakes, and he was so frightened that he hid behind Bai Yutang and cried.

Bai Yutang was speechless, Bai Xia hugged his arms and sighed - Jianghu people really have any style......

The gang of Jianghu people surrounded the three of them, and also told Bai Yutang and Bai Xia to get out of the way.

Bai Xiaduo's character who is afraid of the world is not chaotic, and his son is still afraid of fighting here? Stretched out his hand and pointed to the nose of the Jianghu people who were the leader, and dragged Wen to greet all the eight generations of his ancestors, and said that the faces of the Jianghu people were green.

Bai Yutang held his forehead, and behind him, Luo Zichai covered his ears vigorously - this person spoke so cruelly!

After Bai Xia successfully angered the people in the rivers and lakes, he hid behind Bai Yutang with Luo Zichai.

Just when Bai Yutang was helplessly about to clean up the mess, he suddenly ...... Behind the group of Jianghu people, it was like a river and a sea, and there was a big chaos. Bai Yutang saw a black-clothed young man come up from behind all the way...... The people in the rivers and lakes staggered out one by one, and the young man held something like a stick in his hand...... If you look closely, it's a knife wrapped around a strip of cloth.

Wait for him to be at the front and stand still......

Look at it again, all the people in the rivers and lakes fell to the ground, and there were injuries on one side of their bodies, either arms or legs, and they fell to the ground and rolled in pain, but they were not fatal injuries.

Bai Xia blinked, grabbed Bai Yutang's arm and asked him, "It seems to be quite powerful, huh?" ”

Bai Yutang nodded—it was indeed good kung fu. Especially when the black-clothed young man turned around and looked at the people in front of him after standing still, Bai Yutang observed from the back of this person - very short, maybe only twelve or thirteen years old? Dexterous to the extreme, this is also another kind of talent, Tianzun is expected to be very happy to point him out a few words when he sees a child of this age and style.

The young man shook the strip of cloth in his hand, raised his hand and drew his knife, and raised it horizontally...... In the dappled sunlight of the forest, I saw that he was holding a long bone-colored knife in his hand, which looked like several human bones, very long, with blades on three sides.

Bai Yutang frowned slightly, realizing that ...... The knife is supposed to be movable and rotatable. Sure enough, as soon as the young man flicked the knife, the knife drew a strange arc in the air like a nine-section whip, and it was upright at the end.

"My name is Ye Zhiqiu, the three-edged bone knife Luo Zichai has been given to me, from now on he will not cast the knife again, if you want a three-edged bone knife, come to me, don't harass him again!" The young man's voice sounded quite energetic, and his voice was loud.

Bai Xia clapped his hands, youth! It's so energetic, it's completely different from his Yutang big stuffy egg!

The gang stumbled away, leaving behind the most common words of the loser, "You wait!" ”

……

The young man put away the knife and turned around, and saw Luo Zichai, the great monk hiding behind Bai Yutang, poking out half of his head, looking at him with tears in his eyes.

Ye Zhiqiu was helpless and pointed at him, "Great monk, how useless are you?!" Okay, let you wait for me at the intersection, why did you come here? ”

Luo Zichai poked his fingers and hid behind Bai Yutang and muttered, "Then there are a lot of them who suddenly killed, I'm afraid that you will be affected." You're only so old, if something happens, I'm not a sin......"

"That's it, kid." Bai Xia smiled and said to him, "Such good kung fu at such a young age, genius!" ”

The young man froze suddenly, and Bai Yutang clearly saw that his face had become very bad, and then as if he had been physically and mentally traumatized, he looked at Bai Xia in disbelief, "Little friend? ”

Bai Xia blinked.

The boy took a deep breath and was excited, "Children?!" ”

Bai Xia startled him and looked at Bai Yutang in puzzlement.

Bai Yutang didn't understand what was wrong, and behind him, Luo Zichai tugged on the hem of Bai Xia's clothes, lowered his voice and said, "Forbidden words!" Children are forbidden to speak. ”

Bai Xia wondered, "Huh? Is it forbidden for children? My jade hall is full of great beauties or something, it's a forbidden language. ”

Bai Yutang couldn't say anything else except to support his forehead.

Seeing that the young man opposite was in a state of infinite loop of "little friend" talking to himself, the great monk hurriedly lowered his voice and said to Bai Xiadao, "Qiuqiu is nineteen years old!" ”

……

Bai Yutang and Bai Xia were stunned at the same time, and looked back at the young man who had just arrived at Bai Yutang's chest - nineteen?!

"It's short!" Bai Xia blurted out.

Bai Yutang saw that the green tendons on the young man's head jumped up.

"Shhhh Hush! Luo Zichai was so anxious that his head was sweating, "Big forbidden words!" Absolutely no word can be spoken! ”

"Who do you say is short?!" Ye Zhiqiu jumped up and pointed at Bai Xia, "Why do you say I'm short?" I haven't grown yet! ”

Bai Xia blinked, "Nineteen hasn't opened yet?" As he spoke, he pointed to the white jade hall beside him, "My family jade hall is also nineteen." ”

Bai Yutang continued to support his forehead.

Ye Zhiqiu could only see Bai Yutang's chest with his eyes up, and he raised his face...... Raising his face again, he kicked the big monk who was about to commit suicide just now, scolding, "How tall is it......" After speaking, he saw the cloud knife in Bai Yutang's hand, was slightly stunned, and suddenly took a few steps back.

Everyone didn't understand the meaning of his movements, so they saw him retreat to a certain distance, until he looked up, he could see Bai Yutang, and when he didn't have to look up, he stood still and asked, "Are you Bai Yutang?" ”

Bai Yutang nodded.

After the young man touched his chin and looked at it, he twisted his face, "It's so handsome and so tall, the knife skills don't have to be so good, isn't it interesting to be like this?!" ”

Bai Yutang didn't hear it clearly, but he heard Bai Xia next to him make up for it, "My Yutang is still very popular with girls!" ”

The young man's eyelids twitched, and he covered his chest, "Sure enough, he looks tall and popular......

Bai Xia blinked, leaned up a little, covered half of his mouth and whispered, "He has money and leisure, an island, a piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and is also good at calligraphy and danqing, and he never forgets that his voice is good...... He doesn't eat fat! ”

"Ahh Ye Zhiqiu covered his ears and said don't listen! The last one pointed at Bai Yutang, "Enemy! With that, he ran away.

Bai Yutang didn't understand what was going on, Luo Zichai ran up a few steps behind him and explained, "Qiuqiu, take the bone knife to save more people, don't kill innocents indiscriminately!" ”

"Zhilu Dao!"

Ye Zhiqiu's voice came from a long distance, obviously running away.

Bai Xia asked Luo Zichai, "What an interesting child, what is your family?" “

Luo Zichai shook his head and said, "I picked it up on the side of the road." ”

"When did you pick it up?" Bai Xia was curious.

"Three days ago." Luo Zichai said, scratching his head, "Even if I sent the three-edged bone knife out of the body, the old monk, I can also commit suicide with peace of mind." ”

As he spoke, he was about to hang himself again, but Bai Xia grabbed the belt of his pants and dragged him down, while asking, "You want this knife so many people, but you can't give it away?" ”

Luo Zichai sighed, and listened to Bai Yutang say, "That knife isn't something that anyone can use if they want to, right?" ”

Luo Zichai smiled and nodded, "It is worthy of being a high-ranking disciple of Tianzun, and those who can use that knife will become great weapons in the future." ”

"You've only known him for three days and you've given it to him? It looks like a weirdo. Bai Xia asked.

Luo Zichai touched his chin and said with a smile, "It was the knife himself who picked him, not me, in addition, this son is kind-hearted, and the old monk will not look at the wrong person!" ”

After that, Luo Zichai was taken to Trap Island by Bai Xia, and now he is still retiring on Trap Island, but everyone has never seen Ye Zhiqiu again.

There are rumors in the rivers and lakes that Ye Zhiqiu is dead, but the body has never been found.

This is the only meeting between Bai Yutang and Ye Zhiqiu, although he thinks that this person is weird, and the degree of smoking is not lost to Lin Yehuo, but Bai Yutang still thinks that he is a good person, he promised the old monk that he will not kill innocents indiscriminately, and he should be able to keep his word. And judging from his efforts to easily bring down a group of Jianghu people three years ago without hurting anyone, the crime about his crime on the reward order is not so credible.

……

In Kaifeng City, Zhanzhao was holding a bowl of fish balls and looking ahead while eating.

I saw that Tianzun suddenly squeezed out of the crowd, and when he arrived at Zhanzhao's side, he only gasped, "Whew...... That's a lot of people! ”

Zhan Zhao brought him a bowl of fish balls.

Tianzun looked left and right, "What about Yutang?" ”

Zhan Zhao was thinking about how to explain the situation briefly, when he suddenly saw a child walking by in front of him, holding a portrait in his hand, showing it to the shop selling fish balls, "Hey! Have you seen these two people? ”

The guy glanced at it, twitched the corners of his mouth, and asked, "You...... Looking for fish balls and eggs? ”

Zhan Zhao and Tianzun were holding the fish balls, and they saw that the person standing in front of them was a young man who had just reached the chest of the two of them, and he was thirteen or fourteen years old? Dressed in black with braids, he looks quite delicate.

Zhan Zhao and Tianzun subconsciously went to look at the portrait that the man held in his hand and let the guy see, and neither of them could help it, and let out a "poof".

No wonder the guy would ask him if he was looking for "fish balls and eggs", and he saw that the portrait was so badly drawn, and it should be two people in the portrait...... In fact, there are two circles, one is a little rounder, the other is a little longer, one is like a fish ball and the other is like an egg......

However, I don't know what Lu Dao is for, but this stick figure exhibition looks at it with a sense of familiarity. The egg-faced one with a braid, and the messy hair with the fish ball face, coupled with the style of the clothes, seems to be the two children that Bai Yutang let go just now? Or is it just a coincidence?

"Hey." Tianzun suddenly poked the black-clothed young man who turned around and was about to leave, "Little friend, how old are you?" Who did you learn Kung Fu from? ”

Zhan Zhao saw that the young man's body froze for a long time, turned his head, his face was black, and asked word by word, "Little friend?!" ”

Tianzun blinked, and Zhanzhao also blinked...... In fact, the people of Kaifeng Mansion have long been accustomed to it, and Tianzun calls everyone a child.

The young man turned around and found that it was not enough to raise his head, he didn't need to raise his face, the one who was angry, dragged the stool next to him, stepped on it, and finally could look at Zhan Showa Tianzun at eye level, and stretched out his hand to point at himself, "Lao Tzu is twenty-three!" Who are the kids?! ”

Zhan Zhao and Tianzun were stunned, and then opened their mouths wide, and Tianzun held his face, "So short!" ”

Zhan Zhao saw the young man's head with green muscles jumping up, "Who do you say is short?" Ye just didn't grow up! ”

The corner of Zhanzhao's mouth twitched - twenty-three years old and still haven't grown yet?

I listened to Tianzun then make up for it and pointed at Zhanzhao, "Zhaozhao and my Yutang are also twenty-three, one stool taller than you...... Doll: How did you grow? ”

The young man gasped and turned his face to glare at Zhanzhao.

Zhanzhao was embarrassed...... The heart said that Tianzun provoked others again, and he didn't know it! It's not wrong for people to be shorter, although twenty-three is indeed shorter. And if you look closely, he still has short hands and short feet, and the fourth son doesn't know if Lu Dao will be like this when he grows up. But Zhan Zhao can see it...... This person is born with short bones, his body is still well-proportioned, and his kung fu is excellent and his internal strength is extremely high, no wonder Tianzun wants to ask him about his age, if he is really only twelve or thirteen, it is terrible!

The young man felt traumatized when he saw Zhan Zhao - here it is again! It's so annoying to be tall and handsome......

Thinking of this, the boy suddenly tilted his head - here again? How does this feel so familiar? "My Jade Hall" or something, I've heard it before!
