The next day, Wang Yancheng was escorted back to Hengshan County, passing by the bottom of the mountain, the people in the town went to watch, and the news spread to the Taoist Temple in the middle of the mountain, Guo Hong went out with Cao Shouzhen to see the excitement.

At this time, the bottom of the mountain has been surrounded by three layers inside and three layers outside, people are talking about it, many people boast of foresight, saying that they have long known that Wang Dalang is wronged, how can anyone kill themselves all over the door?

Guo Hong followed behind Cao Shouzhen, and saw that Wang Yancheng was wearing a flail and a lock, his hair was scattered, but he was in good spirits, sitting in a wine shop to eat, and the escorted thief returned him with vegetables and wine, so he was relieved.

Another day passed, Hu Yande was on the run, and there was no more progress in the matter for the time being, Guo Hong and Senior Brother Cao continued to practice the Five Elements Fist together and pay close attention to cultivation.

He has a lot of homework now, and on the one hand, he has to go to He Deng to learn the art of beast medicine, and on the other hand, he has to learn swordsmanship from Liu Tai.

In Liu Tai's words, Guo Hong's swordsmanship is seven tricks and six tricks: one clue.

In the past, the practical Five Elements Fist relied on the power of thunder and lightning and strong internal force to barely deal with second-rate enemies, which was really a waste of great talent.

So now teach him from scratch and let him practice Hengshan swordsmanship.

Cao Shouzhen also handed over his housekeeping skills to Guo Hong, that is, ventriloquism.

This is what children like the most.

Guo Hong started to be stupid, but he liked it too much, he practiced when he had time, and after a few days, he was able to imitate the sounds of many animals, and his progress was not slow.

He pretended to be sick in the Hidden True Rock Room the day before yesterday, but in fact, he was sorting out the boxing techniques he learned from Yu Beibei, so he didn't return to the Zhenzhen Palace the next day, and happened to avoid Hu Yande's ambush, so that the enemy had to take the initiative to attack.

Guo Hong's internal strength is profound, and he can hear voices that he has not paid attention to in the past after practicing meditation, and the range is extremely wide.

In the afternoon, they unexpectedly noticed the thieves watching in the woods, so under Cao Shouzhen's strong suggestion, without informing Liu Yuanjing, the three of them set traps overnight to collect poison to make firearms.

This time, Guo Hong almost relied on his own ability to defeat Hu Yande, a former fierce general in the army, and his confidence was greatly increased.

This person is not the same as Hu Hun and those monks in Weishan that he met in the past, he is a murderous bandit, and he is very cunning, and it is not easy to win.

The internal strength of the "Huang Ting Jing" is now cultivated to the seventh level, which is the spleen in the five organs, and there are clouds in the scriptures: "The spleen god often stops in the soul of the word." ”

The spleen is connected to the stomach, and ancient Chinese medicine has always put "strengthening the spleen and stomach" together.

The internal refining of the five internal organs helps digestion and blood supply, so that he grows faster and his body is stronger!

And the boxing method learned by Yubei, he always felt a little weird, he couldn't understand it, and it still needs to be further pondered, so the current major boxing method is still the Five Elements Boxing.

In the blink of an eye, it was the Double Ninth Festival in early September, and the palace was busy.

At about two o'clock in the afternoon, Guo Hong and Cao Shouzhen helped on the altar.

The Chongyang Festival is still going on, and unlike the Zhongyuan Festival, there are two more rows of seats under the altar, Pei Xiu, Wang Jufang, and a strange old official sit in the front, and there are seven or eight other officials sitting in the back, among which there is the Zhou County Commander of Hengshan County, and Shi Zaishun leads the sergeants to escort around.

Guo Hong quietly asked Cao Shouzhen, only to know that the old official was Han Ye, the assassin of Hengzhou.

This festival was jointly organized by the Zhenzhen Palace and the Nine Truths Temple, so there were more people, but even so, the Taoist priests were too busy to touch the ground.

Finally, I stayed up until four o'clock and the puja ended.

This time it ended relatively early, because there was still Chongyang to enjoy chrysanthemums at night, and it was necessary to move to the Yinzhen Rock two miles away.

Guo Hong followed the team to Yinzhen Rock, the road was widened a lot, the damaged part of the mountain road was repaired and refilled with stones, and the railings were made of logs on the side of the road.

When he arrived at the Hidden Rock Room, he was secretly surprised, this place had a new look!

The three stone chambers were cleaned up, and a one-zhang (three-meter) high wooden fence wall was built on the outside, with walkways and stairs on the inside, which defenders could climb up and shoot arrows from behind the walls.

Surrounded by water from the outside of the wall, it forms a natural ditch, and at the main entrance is a suspension bridge that can be pulled up, making it difficult for thieves to enter.

Ten new wooden houses were built within the courtyard walls, with special kitchens, which could accommodate up to 100 people if they were laid on the floor.

The open space outside the cave stone is full of precious chrysanthemums, which Guo Hong didn't see when he lived here last time, and it should have just been transplanted recently.

There are two customs during the Double Ninth Festival, one is to climb the heights to worship ancestors, and the other is to appreciate chrysanthemums.

According to Cao Shouzhen, early in the morning, the master ascended to the top with those big officials, and these officials who served in other places would worship their ancestors from afar.

At this time, a mat was spread in the middle of the courtyard, and the state government officials and the Taoist priests of the two views sat down.

"This place is simple, please have a lot of Haihan!" Liu Yuanjing sat on the main seat and raised his glass and said.

The first guest was Pei Xiu, his nephew Pei Che knelt beside him obediently, followed by Wang Jufang, Han Ye, Zhou Gon and others.

Niu monks and children did not come, this old man is the former prime minister of the dynasty, and he is currently the long history of one of the three governors, and he usually does not have to participate in various entertainments.

Although Changshi is an idle job, if the assassin dies due to illness, he can temporarily take charge of state affairs.

On the Taoist side, Liu Yuanjing was headed by Mao Taixuan, the main priest of the Nine True Temple, Zhang Shoujing, the chief priest of the Zhenzhen Palace, Qi Yuanyi, Li Chongzhao, the chief priest of the Jiuzhen Temple, He Deng of the Zhenzhen Palace and others.

Guo Hong, Cao Shouzhen, Lu Chaoyang and other disciples took turns to stand beside them, the old servant Liu Tai instructed the servants to serve tea and pour water, and others were busy preparing dinner in the kitchen.

After a while, Cao Shouzhen ran in and whispered to Guo Hong: "Master told you not to go over if you have nothing to do, that Wang Jian Jun thief has been looking this way, and Master is afraid that he will have bad intentions again." ”

Guo Hong really doesn't remember any holiday with this Wang Jufang, could it be that he found out that he had entered the Wang family and suspected that he had taken the treasure map of Gao Lishi?

The more he thought about it, the more it was, and secretly cautioned.

At this time, Pei Xiu was talking to Liu Yuanjing in the courtyard, and only heard him say: "Mr. Liu, I don't know what I think about entering Beijing?" ”

"The mountain people still have to think about one or two." Liu Yuanjing replied.

"This is an invitation from a saint, sir better not refuse!" Wang Jufang said gloomily, the flesh on his face twitched and twitched, not knowing what he was thinking.

"Wang Jianjun seems to be interested in the apprentice, why is that?"

"What's the matter? How can it be! Wang Jufang denied it again and again, and was a little angry.

Pei Xiu coughed, this Wang Jianjun used to be good, but after coming to Hengshan recently, he seems to have changed as a person, especially in the past few days, his eyes are full of bloodshot every day, and he has lost a lot of weight.

Although Guo Shangzao has some background, it is just a credit to send it to Chang'an, and he really can't think of why Wang Jufang can't think about it so much.
