Bu Yuan led Fang Guolian over the two mountains, and then walked towards the two wooden houses on the slope of a hill. More than ten meters away from the wooden house, Bu Yuan shouted, "Is Brother Zhu at home?" As soon as the words fell, a middle-aged man dressed as a hunter came out. When the man saw Bu Yuan, he couldn't help but rejoice: "It turned out to be Brother Bu Yuan." Seeing Fang Guolian on the side, the man asked, "Who is this little brother?" Bu Yuan said: "This is a new friend I have made, Brother Fang Guolian. The man laughed, "Disrespectful! Disrespectful! In the lower Zhu VII. Fang Guohuan hurriedly stepped forward and said, "It turned out to be Brother Zhu Qi." ”

Zhu Qi let Bu Yuan and Fang Guochuan into the wooden house. This is a typical mountain hunter's house, with animal skins on all four walls, and a large bed propped up with wooden stakes on the wall, which can sleep five or six people. Behind the door hung a bow and arrows and an old waist knife, and a polished steel fork stood beside it. In the middle of the room there was a large wooden table, and a few simple wooden stools were placed around it. There is a stove next to it, and the charcoal fire in the furnace is blazing, and the room is very warm. Zhu Qi beckoned Bu Yuan and Fang Guolian to sit down, poured two bowls of fried rice water, and then said to Bu Yuan: "If you don't come, I will go to you." Bu Yuan asked, "But what's the matter?" Zhu Qidao: "Recently, heavy snow has closed the mountain, and a leopard has come out of the mountain hungry. When Bu Yuan heard this, his spirits perked up, and he said, "Is there a trace?" Zhu Qidao: "This beast is mostly infested in Beishan, has injured several villagers, and has also bitten two cows to death. These days, the brothers are pursuing, and it is estimated that there will be news in the next two days. Bu Yuan was a little embarrassed: "It's a pity that I have something to do, so I can't go for the time being." However, if you have any news, you can go to the maple forest thatched cottage to find me. Zhu Qiyi was stunned: "What? Are you still going to the monk? I wonder which good guy you invited this time? Bu Yuan smiled: "It's this Brother Fang." When Zhu Qi heard this, he was stunned again, glanced at Fang Guolian, and said in surprise: "Is this brother?" I can't really see it. ”

Bu Yuan said with a smile: "Don't look at Brother Fang Xian's young age, he has some courage, he dares to fight with hungry wolves to save people, and he is also very insightful in chess." When Zhu Qi heard this, his face was surprised.

While speaking, it was getting late, and Zhu Qi said: "Later, I will go to the village to buy some wine." After saying that, he picked up a big gourd and went out. Bu Yuan then said to Fang Guolian: "Let's sleep here tonight, and we will do our business tomorrow." Fang Guochuan said blankly: "Forgive the little brother for being presumptuous, I don't know what Big Brother Bu asked the little brother to do?" Bu Yuan said: "Brother Xian is a good move? Fang Guochuan said: "I really don't hide it from Brother Bu, my chess skills were taught by my master, and I have never lost to others so far." Bu Yuan was overjoyed and said: "That's it, as long as the virtuous brother defeats the monk on the chessboard tomorrow, I can get a treasure." After speaking, Bu Yuan's face was filled with excitement. Fang Guochuan was surprised: "But it's a valuable thing? Bu Yuan said: "It's a priceless treasure for me, a rare slingshot." Fang Guochuan shook his head and said, "What's so good about a slingshot, it makes Brother Bu happy like this." Bu Yuan said: "Brother Xian doesn't know, this is a treasure bow, called 'Overlord Bow', which is extremely powerful, and it is wonderful to shoot iron pills." Two years ago, I met a monk named Zhishan in the Maple Forest Thatched Cottage, and he was the one who hid this bow. The monk showed me that the power of his projectiles can break trees and gravel, and I like it, knowing that the hunters in the mountains have a good bow and knife, as if they have an extra life. I asked the monk for this bow, and I was willing to exchange it for something else, or buy it for a lot of money. The monk is not with him, as long as I look for a good chess player to fight with him, if I defeat him, this bow should be given away. The monk also taught me how to play the slingshot, which attracted me more and more, and successively invited four chess masters with animal skins. If the virtuous brother can win the overlord bow for Bu in chess, he will be grateful to you for a lifetime. Fang Guochuan smiled when he heard this: "That's the case, since Brother Bu likes this slingshot, tomorrow Little Brother will fulfill your wish." Although the monk is a master of chess, there is nothing to be afraid of. In the past, when the younger brother walked the rivers and lakes with the master, he also fought chess with the masters, and he could cope with it, and the younger brother also hoped to meet a real chess master. Bu Yuanxi said: "Great! It seems that the virtuous brother has met a good master. When Fang Guohuan heard this, he was sad in his heart, and sighed: "The ancestor was unlucky, so he wandered among the rivers and lakes. After my younger brother accidentally lost his master from home when he was a child, in addition to teaching me to read and write, he taught me to practice chess day and night, saying that I could beg for food in this chess game in the future. Previously, because I didn't have money to buy chess sets, I chose those two-colored stones to use, and the master also used them to teach me to practice chess. Fang Guochuan then said: "In the past six months, my chess skills have been on par with my master, and I have won and lost each other in my spare time. Master was very happy and said that it was difficult to meet an opponent now, and in a few years, he would be invincible in the world. Master also said that Di Yao's chess was set up for me, because I am a person with chess roots. Bu Yuan was already stunned at this time. Seeing him like this, Fang Guohuan smiled and said: "Brother Bu doesn't have to believe it, Master often says big things to make fun of people, and this is also true." Bu Yuan stood up happily and said with a smile: "Your master must be knowledgeable, and such a master as a virtuous brother in chess must be for me Bu Yuan to ask for the overlord bow." What the virtuous brother said, the elder brother is sure that tomorrow will be a great thing! ”

At this time, as soon as the chai door opened, Zhu Qi came back, put a gourd of wine on the table, took out a few packets of dried tofu, oily peanuts and other foods from his arms, and went to another wooden house to get some bacon and deer breast, and set up a table randomly. Zhu Qi then said to Fang Guolian: "The people of the mountains and wilderness, there are no good things to entertain the little brother, these are full." Bu Yuan smiled and said, "Brother Zhu, I will take the overlord bow tomorrow." When Zhu Qi heard this, he was overjoyed and said: "In this way, your brother will be like a tiger with wings." Then he looked at Fang Guolian in amazement, and said, "It seems that the little brother is really a person with great ability, then please." Zhu Qi then said to Bu Yuan: "Shicai met Tie Wu in the village, they have found the trace of the leopard and are looking for it. Later, I will rush to join my brothers, and if there is any news, I will not have time to find you. Bu Yuan nodded and said, "That's fine, you go to track the leopard first, and after I get the slingshot, I'll come later." Zhu Qi said again: "Judging from the footprints of this leopard, it is a female leopard, and it is not small, if it is not for the overlord bow, it will be difficult to subdue it." After speaking, Zhu Qi took another gourd, carried a few pieces of dried meat in his arms, and then said to Bu Yuan: "I'm going now, there is stewed venison in the pot, you and Brother Fang can use it at will." With that, he took a bow and knife, held a steel fork, said "farewell", and hurried away.

Fang Guochuan was a little worried at this time: "I heard that the female leopard is a tiger, Zhu Qige will be very dangerous." Bu Yuan said: "Don't worry, Brother Zhu Qi, they are all experienced hunters, if you are not sure, they will wait for me to go." At this time, the room was already dark, so Bu Yuan lit the oil lamp, then used a large bowl to hold the stewed venison, poured two bowls of wine, and ate and drank with Fang Guolian. Fang Guohuan didn't drink much, but Bu Yuan didn't care about him and drank by himself. After finishing the wine and meat, Bu Yuan spread a layer of animal skins on the bed, and talked to Fang Guohuan about hunting in the mountains, and the two did not fall asleep until midnight.

The next day, as soon as the sky dawned, Bu Yuan shouted "get up" and jumped up from the bed, and Fang Guohuan was also awakened by his scream. The two of them simply ate something, and after packing up, they left the wooden house, closed the firewood door, and Bu Yuan led Fang Guolian down the mountain road and along a road. On the way, Fang Guolian asked, "Brother Bu, is the maple forest thatched cottage far away?" Bu Yuan said: "It's not too far, it's here after noon." After walking for a long time, the two came to a small town, which was not big and there were not many pedestrians on the street. Bu Yuan and Fang Guohuan found a tea shop, ate something, and then came to a shop. Bu Yuan said: "Brother Xian, wait for me for a while, there are some fur accounts in the store, I will collect them first." After speaking, he turned around and entered the store, and Fang Guochuan stood on the side of the road and waited.

At this time, more than ten horsemen galloped from outside the town, galloped to the street, and the man on the horse took the reins and walked slowly. These more than ten people are all dressed in strong suits, each with a sword, like characters in the rivers and lakes. At the head of the group is a young woman dressed in a storm, although she is in her twenties, she is heroic and gives people a sense of majesty. The rest of the people were strong men. The group of people and horses walked slowly, and the young woman saw Fang Guohuan standing on the side of the road at a glance, and saw that his clothes were shabby, his body was thin, and when the cold wind blew, he felt weak and couldn't help the wind. The woman thought that Fang Guohuan was a beggar begging for food on the street, and said with compassion in her heart: "This little beggar is also beautiful, but he is really pitiful!" He took out two white flour cakes from the cloth bag on the horse's back, handed them to Fang Guolian, and said, "Hey! Little brother, this is for you. Fang Guohuan suddenly saw the woman calling him on the horse, and somehow, he stretched out his hands to take the two cakes, and at the same time praised in his heart: "What a beautiful sister!" Seeing Fang Guohuan's eyes looking at her innocently, the woman couldn't help but smile at him and slapped her horse away. Fang Guohuan saw that the woman was especially good-looking when she smiled, and he felt even more cordial, and he actually looked at the team of people and horses and went away.

Bu Yuan came out of the shop at this time, and when he saw Fang Guochuan holding two pieces of dough and looking into the distance, he stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder and said, "Brother Xian, what are you afraid of?" How? Didn't eat enough just now? Seeing that it was Bu Yuan, Fang Guohuan held up two cakes and said, "This is given by a sister." "Sister?" Bu Yuan was surprised, "Where did you come from?" Fang Guolian said: "A sister riding a horse." Bu Yuan looked at the back of the group of people who were far away, and then looked at Fang Guolian, and suddenly laughed and said: "I see, the virtuous brother is regarded as a beggar by others, and he is giving you alms." Bu Yuan then slapped his head and said, "Damn it!" I forgot to change my brother into a decent outfit. After speaking, he pulled Fang Guolian and left. After entering a cloth store, Bu Yuan chose a set of clothes, but Fang Guolian refused to wear them. Bu Yuan hurriedly said: "You and my brother, are you still short of a pair of clothes?" So he paid the bill and bought it. Fang Guolian's enthusiasm was difficult, so he had to thank him. Bu Yuan smiled and said: "That's right, Brother Xian is really in a lot of energy when he wears new clothes." ”

Then they left the town, walked for about an hour, turned down the road, passed through a maple forest, and came to some neat and elegant straw houses. Above the wooden door of a large grass hut in the middle is a white wooden plaque with the words "Maple Forest Thatched Cottage" written on it. Fang Guohuan saw it, and said in his heart: "This is it." Bu Yuan took a few steps forward and shouted loudly, "Is the monk at home?" Bu Yuan has come to get the overlord bow. As soon as the words fell, someone in the grass hall answered: "Master Bu Shi, who have you invited?" Don't disappoint you and me this time. Bu Yuan said with a smile: "Monk rest assured, this time you will only be disappointed." A sneer came from the grass hall: "This is the best, the poor monk can't ask for it, please come in." ”

Bu Yuan pushed open the wooden door and led Fang Guolian into the thatched hall. As soon as Fang Guohuan came in, he couldn't help but be slightly taken aback. But the grass hall is spacious and bright, the ground is paved with wooden boards, a blanket is laid in the middle, a low square table is placed on it, and a Xiangfei bamboo chess table, two bamboo baskets Yunnan kiln chess pieces, and a set of tea sets are placed on the table. There was also a small red clay stove beside the table, and a white tin pot was steaming on the stove. A middle-aged monk in a yellow robe sat at the table with a scroll of scriptures in his hand, and there was nothing else in the room, looking quiet and peaceful. Fang Guohuan was surprised in his heart: "What an elegant monk! The monk lowered his eyes and flipped through the scriptures, ignoring Bu Yuan and Fang Guolian, and only said, "Please sit down." Bu Yuan seemed to have long been used to it, and pulled Fang Guohuan to sit down at the table with a smile. The monk said, "There is hot tea boiling on the stove, and the two donors will ask for it." Bu Yuan said: "You're welcome." Then he introduced: "This is the Zhishan monk, and this is my friend Fang Guolian Fang Xian." The Zhishan monk glanced up at Fang Guolian, and when he saw that it was a young man, his brows couldn't help frowning. Fang Guohuan hurriedly got up and saluted, "I've seen the master." Only then did the monk put down the scroll in his hand and said lightly: "Etiquette is given to capable people, and you can sit for a while." Bu Yuan said excitedly at this time: "Monk, can you start?" Monk Zhishan said: "You are in a hurry. Then he pushed the basket of black chess pieces in front of Fang Guolian, and said, "Master Fang, please." There seemed to be disdain in his tone. Fang Guohuan saw that this wise and kind monk was arrogant and arrogant, and his attitude was cold, and he said in his heart: "Master often says that extraordinary people must have extraordinary things, and this monk seems to have great skills in chess, and it is best to be a master." At that time, his heart was quiet, and he said: "Accept." "Hold a black chess piece and raise your hand to drop Tianyuan." Hey? The monk Zhishan was stunned. Originally, when the monk Zhishan saw that Bu Yuan invited a young man, he had the intention of letting the other party's three sons first, and taking a game of chess to avoid losing his identity. Who knew that before he could speak, the other party walked up first, and the monk Zhishan immediately looked gloomy. It turns out that there are nine stars on the chessboard, Tian Yuan is in the center, and the big chess player Buzi starts the game, grabs the corners of the cloth and occupies the ground, which has its own advantage. Unless there is superb chess ability, or there is a disrespectful intention to humiliate the opponent, and there is a master who is very sure of the victory, there is a move to start Tianyuan. In the past, when Fang Guolian played against others, he made many amazing moves, and won the praise of his master Fang Lan, thinking that Kaizi Tianyuan could frustrate the opponent's sharpness and have the potential to take the lead. It was also rare to meet opponents in chess before, and he was used to it, so Fang Guolian came out with his hand and didn't even think about it.

Bu Yuan saw that Fang Guolian's only one hand of chess made the Zhishan monk moved, which had never been done before, although Bu Yuan didn't know chess, but he also knew that the Zhishan monk met an opponent, and he couldn't help but be secretly proud. Monk Zhishan did not hold a son to deal with it at this time, but raised his head and said to Bu Yuan Zhengse: "Master Bu, if you intend to let people tease the poor monk, the poor monk would rather destroy the overlord bow than fall into the hands of the rude villain." Bu Yuan was shocked when he heard this, and he got up in a hurry and said, "Monk, what are you talking about?" Don't you want to play? Seeing this, Fang Guohuan was puzzled, and looked at the two of them with wide eyes and confusion. Bu Yuan was annoyed at this time and said: "Aren't you, a monk, afraid of my virtuous brother, and reluctant to have a good baby slingshot?" If we regret it and make it clearer, I will leave immediately and never come back in the future. Monk Zhishan saw that Bu Yuan was angry, he was really angry, and when he saw Fang Guozhuan with a blank face, he didn't have the intention of catching the show, he was stunned, and secretly said: "Could it be that this young man is really a prodigy in chess?" I'll give him a try. Thinking of this, Monk Zhishan eased his tone and said: "Master Fang Xiao is a master invited by the master of Bu Shi, and the poor monk is accompanied. After that, he casually responded to a son. Fang Guolian also dealt with it on his own. Bu Yuan saw that the two of them were playing chess, so he muttered a few times and sat down to watch.

After eighteen moves on both sides, Monk Zhishan was secretly taken aback, and only then did he realize that the young man on the opposite side was a profound chess player and was not an ordinary opponent. After more than 50 chess moves, Fang Guohuan couldn't help but regret Kaizi Tianyuan's move, and found that the opponent's chess strength was not worse than that of Master Fang Lan, so he didn't dare to be careless, and concentrated on dealing with it. The Zhishan monk over there was already very surprised, seeing that Fang Guolian had such chess strength at such a young age, it was really unexpected, and he was surprised, and secretly blamed himself for despising and neglecting him, and he was even more cautious in dealing with it, and he did his best to play chess. Bu Yuan saw that the two of them were fighting in full swing, especially seeing that the monk Zhishan swept away his contempt, he had already devoted himself wholeheartedly, and he liked it very much in his heart, and he was very respectful to the other party, and secretly said happily: "My virtuous brother has great ability, and it is really not easy to make this tall and strange monk look like this!" Bu Yuan didn't know how to play, and after a long time, he was a little impatient, and he wanted to go out for a walk, but he was afraid that he would miss the opportunity and be relied on by the monk, so he gritted his teeth, was patient, and sat next to him to watch. After a long time, Bu Yuan saw that the chessboard was covered with black and white chess pieces, and he couldn't tell who was superior and who was inferior, so he was very anxious. At this time, Monk Zhishan sighed lightly and sat down, but his face was joyful. Fang Guohuan immediately shook his head and sat down. Bu Yuan knew that the chess game was over, and asked anxiously and worriedly, "How about the victory?" Fang Guohuan sighed and said: "It's a pity that the junior brother and the master made a draw, and didn't win the slingshot for Brother Bu." When Bu Yuan heard this, he was also pleasantly surprised: "The two of you are really chess opponents, since this is the case, fight another game to decide the winner." At this time, the monk Zhishan said with a pleasant face: "There is no need to fight anymore, it is rare to have a tie in chess, and the poor monk admits defeat and loses with sincerity." Bu Yuan listened, cheered, and turned his head backwards.

Fang Guochuan said respectfully at this time: "The master's chess skills are superb, which is really rare, and he should play another game to decide the winner." Monk Zhishan shook his head and said with emotion: "The hero is a young man, and this sentence is really not bad. The poor monk is a person who knows the depths, the talent of the small donor is extremely high, far better than the poor monk, the victory or defeat has been decided, if it is far-fetched, it is really trapped in the poor monk in injustice, just now the rudeness, but also look at Haihan. After saying that, he actually got up and bowed to Fang Guolian. Fang Guohuan was shocked when he saw this, and hurriedly got up and bowed back. Bu Yuan saw it on the sidelines, and laughed and said, "You monk also has a time to give gifts to people, which is really rare. The Zhishan monk said: "There is no noble or low, only high and low, and the poor monk respects the most is the master who has the ability." What's more, Master Fang is young and high, and he has such a cultivation at a young age, which is really the first time in his life that a poor monk has encountered, how can it be disrespectful. Bu Yuan said with a smile: "The monk said very well, my virtuous brother has the ability to make people respectful, even I can't think of it!" Now that you've conceded defeat, do you ......?" said Bu Yuan, making a posture of drawing a bow.

Monk Zhishan smiled slightly, leaned over and removed a wooden board from the ground, took out a wide flat wooden box from it, and put it on the table. Bu Yuan's eyes lit up at this time, and he was busy approaching. Monk Zhishan casually pushed the wooden box in front of Bu Yuan, and said: "The poor monk has a word first, and today he will give the hero a bow, thank you to the poor monk for finding an opponent in chess." Bu Yuan was overjoyed, hurriedly got up and took it, opened it, and showed a strange iron slingshot inside. This bow is twice as small as an ordinary bow frame, but the bowstring is twice as thick as an ordinary bow, and the bow body seems to be made of black iron, faintly bright and transparent. Bu Yuan said excitedly at this time: "The overlord bow is finally mine!" Then he opened his bow with both hands, pulled a full moon, and suddenly let go, and there was a deafening sound of "buzzing". When Fang Guohuan saw it, he was secretly surprised, and saw that there were three small protruding characters on the back of the bow - the overlord bow, and he knew that it was an extraordinary thing, and he was happy for Bu Yuan. Bu Yuan was pleasantly surprised, and the two of them hugged their fists and said, "Both, Bu Yuan is here to thank you together." Monk Zhishan smiled and said: "Even if there is no little donor to convince the poor monk in chess, this bow will be given to you in the future, because the person who can pull this bow has not met a second person except for the donor." After speaking, Monk Zhishan took out more than 20 pigeon-sized iron pills from the side, handed them to Bu Yuandao: "These projectiles will also be given to you, when they are exhausted, just look for a family iron shop and cast some more." Bu Yuan was overjoyed, thank you for taking it.

After sitting down again, the monk Zhishan personally poured tea for Bu Yuan and Fang Guolian, and then said: "The poor monk is really honored to know the little benefactor today, and he dares to ask where the little benefactor is?" Bu Yuan said on the side: "I'll tell the monk about this." Then he recounted what happened to Fang Guolian. Monk Zhishan was surprised when he heard this, and asked Fang Guolian: "Since Fang Xiao's benefactor is a person in distress, I don't know what his plans are in the future?" Fang Guochuan sighed and said: "The younger generation is in such a situation, and he is very confused, so he also asks the master for guidance." Bu Yuan said on the side: "Brother Xian will follow my brother in the future, to ensure that there is no shortage of wine and meat, and he will be happy." Monk Zhishan shook his head and said, "No, no." Bu Yuan hurriedly said: "Why not?" In the future, Bu Mou regarded Brother Fang Xian as a brother, and he would not lose him everywhere. Monk Zhishan said: "Master Fang Xiao is an alien genius in the chess path, and his future is limitless, so he can delay you and other hunters!" When Bu Yuan heard this, he scratched his head and said: "The monk is also reasonable, my virtuous brother's ability is admirable, not ordinary, and he can't miss his future." What are the monk's good ideas, let's hear about them? Monk Zhishan said solemnly at this time: "The poor monk has traveled the world for many years, and now he knows that there is an excellent place suitable for Fang Xiao's benefactor. When Fang Guochuan heard this, his heart suddenly moved, and he hurriedly asked, "Dare to ask the master what is the best place to go?" ”

Monk Zhishan paused for a moment, and then said slowly: "Ten years ago, the poor monk traveled to a big mountain called Lianyun Mountain, and at night he placed an order in the Tianyuan Temple in the mountain. The people in the temple saw that they were the same door, and it was difficult to refuse, so they sent a fire monk. The poor monk was not convinced, and wanted to defeat the other party first. Who knew that after a game of chess, the poor monk was completely wiped out and suffered a great defeat. Frightened, ashamed to go overnight, from then on to visit the world's chess masters, after the chess strength is great, in order to figure two into the Tianyuan Temple, to repay the humiliation of the defeat. However, after ten years, although the poor monk's chess strength has improved a lot, he still knows that he still can't compete with the masters in Tianyuan Temple. Now I feel that my chess strength is old, and I have stopped competing again. Now see the small donor chess skills, young and promising, not vulgar hands, if you get the Tianyuan Temple in the chess master advice, you can be a thousand miles a day, the cultivation of chess is immeasurable, a few years later, there are few people in the world who have become opponents with the small donor chess. When Bu Yuan heard this, he said happily: "Great! Yay! The eldest husband is alive and famous all over the world. ”

Fang Guochuan was already fascinated by Tianyuan Temple at this time, and hurriedly got up and bowed to the Zhishan monk and said: "The younger generation has benefited from the education of the ancestor in chess, and he is fascinated by this way. The monk Zhishan said happily: "Fang Xiao's chess foundation is deep, and his talent is high, so he can have the heart to make further progress, and he will be successful in the future, which is really a blessing in chess." Then he said: "That Lianyun Mountain Tianyuan Temple is in the south of the eight hundred miles of Dongting, thousands of miles away from here, it is not easy to find there, and you will endure all kinds of hardships." Monk Zhishan then described the path in detail, and Fang Guohuan wrote it down and thanked him.

Bu Yuan saw that it was not early, so he said to the monk Zhishan: "Monk, my virtuous brother has a good place to go, and Bu is also very happy, go back and prepare to prepare, so as to send the virtuous brother on the road and Bo a future in chess." It's not early, so let's quit and ask someone to send you more firewood and rice in the future. Monk Zhishan did not force him to stay, and took Fang Guolian's hand and admonished: "Fang Xiao donor should work hard in order to achieve great achievements in chess, and I hope to go back to Fenglin Thatched Cottage in the future to show his mastery of chess." Fang Guochuan responded with tears, and then said goodbye to Monk Zhishan.

When Bu Yuan and Fang Guohuan returned to the previous town, it was already dark, so Bu Yuan led Fang Guohuan to an acquaintance to live. The next day, the two returned to Zhu Qi's wooden house, and seeing that Zhu Qi had not returned, Bu Yuan was a little worried: "Brother Zhu Qi, they may have discovered the leopard's burrow, I'll wait and see where they recruit me with beacon smoke." Bu Yuan then lit the stove, looked for some dried meat, and drank the remaining half of the gourd wine with Fang Guolian. After a bowl of wine, Bu Yuan sighed and said: "Brother Xian, thank you for winning the Overlord Bow for your brother, wait for my brother to hunt the leopard, and then make some entanglements with the brothers in the mountains, so that I can send Brother Xian on the road to find Tianyuan Temple." When he said that, he burst into tears. Fang Guochuan was greatly moved and said: "Thank you Brother Bu for making it complete, the younger brother will definitely come back to find Brother Bu in the future." After saying that, I was also sentimental. Bu Yuan said angrily: "It's a pity that my mother is in the hall, no one takes care of her, and she can't escort the virtuous brother, let alone travel with the virtuous brother, which is really a regret in life." Then he sighed. Although Fang Guohuan and Bu Yuan have not been together for a long time, the two of them have a sense of pride and true feelings, and they hate each other late, and they can't bear to separate.

Bu Yuan drank several bowls of wine in a row, and when he saw that Fang Guolian also drank two bowls with him, he couldn't help but be very happy. After drinking to a hearty place, Bu Yuan took the overlord bow, pulled Fang Guolian and came outside, pointed to a pine tree with the thickness of a bowl mouth a hundred steps away, and said, "Brother Xian, watch me shoot it." After speaking, he pulled the bow, Bu Yuan borrowed the strength of the wine, but pulled the overlord bow to the limit, and shouted: "Go!" The projectile flew out like a meteor, and then there was a crisp "click", and the branches and leaves flew wildly, and the pine tree was broken by the waist. Seeing this, Fang Guochuan exclaimed in surprise and said, "Brother Bu, the divine power is also!" Bu Yuan looked up to the sky and laughed, and the laughter shook a lot of snow off the surrounding trees.

At this time, a thick smoke rose from a hill in the northeast, and Fang Guolian saw it, and hurriedly pointed: "Brother Bu, beacon fire!" Seeing this, Bu Yuan was taken aback and said, "Not good! This pillar of smoke is thicker than usual, Brother Zhu and they are in danger, I should go quickly. Then he hurriedly said to Fang Guolian: "Brother Xian, don't go around, wait for me to come back." After speaking, Bu Yuan took the overlord bow and flew away. Fang Guohuan stood there and watched Bu Yuan go away until he was nowhere to be seen, looked at it for a while, and felt a little tired, so he returned to the wooden house, covered the firewood door, and lay on the bed and fell asleep worriedly.

I don't know how long it was, Fang Guohuan was suddenly awakened by a burst of talking, and when he got up to look, the room was pitch black, and it was already night. Immediately, the firelight flickered, and as soon as the firewood door opened, Bu Yuan and Zhu Qi hugged in with torches, and their faces overflowed with excitement. When Fang Guohuan saw it, he cheered, got up and stepped forward and said, "Brother Bu, Brother Zhu, you are back!" When Bu Yuan saw Fang Guolian, he smiled and said, "I'm still worried that the wild wolf will come in and take the virtuous brother away, but fortunately, it's okay." At this time, Zhu Qi inserted the torch on the pillar, and the room became brighter. Fang Guohuan suddenly saw that Bu Yuan and Zhu Qi had blood stains on their faces and bodies, and couldn't help but be shocked: "Are the two brothers injured?" Zhu Qi smiled and said: "Brother Fang, don't worry, we are fine, this is the blood of the leopard." Thanks to the Bu Yuan brothers, who rushed in time, the missile twenty zhang away killed the female leopard, otherwise several brothers would have died under the leopard's mouth today. When Fang Guochuan heard this, knowing that the hunters had subdued the leopard after a desperate struggle, he secretly trembled, looked out of the door, and said, "Is the leopard there?" Bu Yuan said with a smile: "It has been carried to the town by other brothers overnight and sold, this beast has also fulfilled us today, and there is already a virtuous brother on the road." Zhu Qi said happily: "Yes! The brothers were very surprised when they heard that Brother Fang had won the Overlord Bow for Brother Bu Yuan from chess at the monk in the Maple Forest Thatched Cottage, this is the treasure that our brothers are looking forward to day and night, and it is really a miracle that Brother Fang can impress that noble and arrogant monk! I heard that Brother Fang was going to travel, and then he needed to entangle his skills in long chess, so everyone disposed of the beast overnight, exchanged it for some silver, and everyone made up some more to make a coil for Brother Fang. When Fang Guochuan heard this, he was greatly moved and said: "Brother who works like this, how can you tell the younger brother to repay it?" Bu Yuan said with a smile: "Don't be polite, brother Xian, you will be a person with great prospects in the future, and you can't be delayed because of less entanglement, and you will be sent on the road tomorrow." ”

After Bu Yuan finished speaking, he fell on the bed with Zhu Qi, who was extremely tired, and after a while, he snored everywhere. Seeing that the hunters were so righteous, Fang Guohuan was grateful in his heart, sat alone for a while, sighed, and fell asleep. Early the next morning, before Fang Guolian, Bu Yuan, and Zhu Qiren got up, the chai door opened, and seven or eight hunters came in. A fat man shouted when he entered the door: "Old Zhu, where is the magical little brother you are talking about?" Bu Yuan, Zhu Qi, and Fang Guolian heard the sound and got busy. Zhu Qi casually pointed at Fang Guohuan and said with a smile: "Far away in the sky, close in front of you." When the fat man saw it, he clasped his hands into fists and said: "In Xia Tie Wu, I have seen the little brother, and I heard that your ability is very great!" Fang Guohuan hurriedly stepped forward to salute. Zhu Qi then introduced other hunters, none other than Zhang San, Li Er, Song Ba and others. The hunters saw that Fang Guohuan turned out to be a teenager, and they were all surprised.

At this time, Tie Wu untied a package from his waist, put it on the table, and opened it, it was a bag of silver, about a hundred taels. Tie Wu then said to Fang Guolian: "This is a little bit of the brothers' thoughts, eighty taels is the money from selling leopards, and twenty taels is made up by everyone." The mountains are bitter, there is not much else, please take it from the little brother. Seeing that the hunters were so generous and righteous, Fang Guohuan was grateful in his heart, and hurriedly bowed to the ground: "Thank you brothers for your righteous help, the younger brother Fang Guohuan is unforgettable, please accept it." Bu Yuan stepped forward and said: "Everyone is a brother, don't see the virtuous brother, and this is what our brothers should do." Zhu Qi and Tie Wu also stepped forward to help Fang Guolian, and Fang Guohuan thanked him. All the hunters brought wine and meat, and at this time a table was full, and after eating and drinking, Tie Wu and the others took their leave.

After sending away all the hunters, Bu Yuan said sadly: "I really don't worry about Brother Xian walking alone, I wanted to keep you for a few more days, but I am afraid that I will mistake you to do serious things, so I will send Brother Xian on the road today." After saying that, there was a burst of sentimentality. Fang Guochuan was also sad, so he comforted Bu Yuan and said: "The little brother used to experience the pain of wandering on the road before, and he is used to it, don't worry about it. Then he said: "Mr. Liu of Liujiazhuang has the grace of saving his life and burying the little brother, so he should resign." Bu Yuan said: "Brother Xian is really a caring person, Liujiazhuang has me to say goodbye, and Brother Xian is on the road." Fang Guochuan said: "If you don't go in person, it will be rude to say goodbye this time." Bu Yuan said: "It takes a day to go back and forth, and when you see Liu Yishan, he may not be willing to let you go, and the virtuous brother will go by himself, so as not to make trouble." Fang Guohuan pondered for a moment, and then said: "Okay, there is Brother Lao Bu, please tell Mr. Liu, Fang Guohuan will not forget his great kindness, and he will go to thank him in the future." Fang Guohuan and Bu Yuan then said goodbye to Zhu Qi, and after getting on the road, Bu Yuan sent more than ten miles, and the two of them shed tears and said goodbye, Fang Guohuan went on the road alone. On the way back to the scriptures, Bu Yuan hunted another roe deer and carried it to Liujiazhuang. After seeing Liu Yishan, he told what had happened, Liu Yishan was surprised, and he wiped his tears and sighed, but he was stunned by the two brothers Liu Cai and Liu Lu, he didn't expect Fang Guochuan to make such a big move. Bu Yuan left the roe deer at Liu's house, saying that it was a gift from Fang Guolian, and then said goodbye to ****, and hurried home to visit his mother.
