At Taniguchi, the old man in white laughed with a little girl named Xue'er on his back, and the handsome middle-aged man opposite had a strange face. After a long time, the middle-aged man coughed lightly and asked the old man, "Old liar, tell me, what are your intentions in coming to me?" ”

The old man patted the little girl behind him, and said to the young man with a smile, "Send you an apprentice." ”

"Old liar, don't you know that my Medicine King Valley has been sealed, and besides, my vein has always been a single line, passing on men but not women. I couldn't agree to this request. You'd better go back. The middle-aged man was about to turn around and leave.

"What, why don't you invite me to your Medicine King Valley to have a look?" The old man carried Xue'er on his back, but his eyes looked at the valley behind the man.

Hearing that the old man was about to enter the valley, the middle-aged man's face twitched, he knew too much about the old man's style of plucking the feathers, if he was allowed to enter his own Medicine King Valley, those flowers and plants that he regarded as treasures would not all suffer. Therefore, the man's head shakes like a rattle.

"No, just have something to say here. The valley is shabby, so don't go. ”

The old man in white showed a look of contempt on his face, and muttered: "After so many years, he is still so stingy, and he has not grown at all." Then he let Cher get off his back. Squatted down, pointed at the middle-aged man and said, "Xue'er, this is the master that grandpa found for you, will you follow him to learn skills in the future?" ”

Xue'er looked at the middle-aged man, then at the old man, and suddenly threw herself into the old man's arms, and said in an aggrieved voice: "Grandpa, doesn't you want Xue'er?" I don't want a master, I don't want to leave grandpa. ”

"Old liar, I didn't promise to accept this little girl as an apprentice, don't talk nonsense." The middle-aged man hurriedly interrupted the old man's words.

The old man touched Xue'er's hair, stood up, and said to the middle-aged man: "Gu Sang, I didn't tell anyone about you when you peeked at Gongsun Jianwu taking a bath. With such a big friendship, can't you make an exception. ”

"Fuck off, old liar, tell me how many things you have deceived me with this excuse over the years, and now you still use this reason, both horizontally and vertically, if you are shameless, go and tell the tigress of the Gongsun family. What can he do to me? The middle-aged man looked at the old man in white with disdain.

"Hey, now that the general trend of the world has changed, the war is about to start, and the lives will be ruined, you are so self-cherished, be careful that your Medicine King Valley is cut off, I am thinking about your inheritance, why are you so ignorant." The old man in white said worriedly.

"Hmph, how do you know that my Medicine King Gu is self-cherishing, the inheritance is severed, the old liar, the general trend of the world has something to do with me. Give me less false compassion. Besides, even if the war is about to start, I don't believe that anyone can hit my Medicine King Valley. The middle-aged man remained unmoved.

"Oh? So, you've found a successor? No, let me do the math. As he spoke, the other hand began to pinch continuously.

"It's strange, I can't figure it out." The old man stopped what he was doing and said with a puzzled expression.

"Hahaha, hahaha, I don't believe you can find it." The middle-aged man gloated and looked at the old man in white.

The old man glanced at Gu Sang, who was not in the oil and salt, sighed, turned his head to Xue'er and said, "Xue'er, take out the jade pendant around your neck and show it to your master." ”

"I don't want him to be my master." Xue'er pouted, but still pulled out a white jade pendant strung with a red rope from the collar, took it off, and reluctantly handed it to the old man in white.

"Gu Sang, do you recognize this thing?" The old man in white put the jade pendant in his hand and said to Gu Sang with a smile.

Gu Sang didn't care at first, he glanced at it from the corner of his eye, and when he saw the jade pendant, his face changed greatly, and he reached out and snatched the jade pendant over.

Putting the jade pendant in his hand and gently stroking the slightly warm jade pendant, Gu Sang's face became gentle, and he muttered to himself in a low voice: "That's right, it's her thing, it's hers, it's absolutely wrong." ”

Xue'er pulled the old man's clothes and asked in a low voice, "Grandpa, isn't this uncle stupid?" Xue'er's words caused the old man to laugh.

Gu Sang ignored the two of them, just kept stroking this jade pendant, and after a long time, he reluctantly took his eyes off the jade pendant, walked in front of Xue'er, put the jade pendant on Xue'er's neck again, and asked with a smile: "Ahem, your name is Xue'er?" Would you like to worship me as a teacher? ”

"No, I want to follow Grandpa." Cher shrunk back and hugged the old man's thighs.

Gu Sang was not angry, touched Xue'er's head lovingly, then stood up, looked at the old man with a hint of inquiry in his eyes and asked, "Is Xue'er ......?"

The old man in white sighed and nodded.

"How is she now?" Gu Sang's eyes were full of excitement.

"I don't know if I live or die, and I can't figure it out." A sad look also appeared on the old man's face.

Listening to the old man's words, Gu Sang's face kept changing, and then he said to the old man: "Give Xue'er to me, I will definitely teach you." ”

The corners of the old man's mouth moved slightly, as if he was saying something, while Gu Sang's face was constantly changing, and finally nodded solemnly.

Seeing Gu Sang nodding, the old man became smiling again, and quipped at Gu Sang: "Isn't your Medicine King Gu a single line?" Isn't it a man or a woman? Alright, I'll leave with Cher. ”

Listening to the old man's words, Gu Sang suddenly became angry, stretched out his hand and pointed at the old man and scolded: "If you dare to take Xue'er away, I will fight with you, old liar, your conscience has been eaten by dogs, take advantage of the fire to rob isn't it, from now on, you and I will cut off the robes and break the righteousness, his grandmother's." ”

Xue'er watched Gu Sang shrink and hide behind the old man.

Seeing Xue'er's movements, Gu Sang's originally angry face suddenly became gentle, and he looked at Xue'er with a smile.

The old man pulled Xue'er closer and said to Xue'er: "Xue'er is good, follow your uncle to learn skills, grandpa, there are some things that need to be done, when grandpa finishes his work, come here to see Xue'er, okay?" ”

Hearing that the old man was really leaving, Xue'er's eyes suddenly turned red, and she didn't let herself cry with tears, nodded heavily, and said in a choked voice: "Grandpa, don't worry, I will definitely follow my uncle to learn the skills, but grandpa will come back to see Xue'er earlier." ”

The old man was very pleased with Xue'er's sensibility, and took Xue'er's finger to Gu Sang and said, "Xue'er, from today onwards, he will be your master, come to kowtow to the master." ”

Xue'er didn't refuse, kowtowed respectfully, and shouted at Gu Sang: "Xue'er has seen the master." Gu Sang accepted Xue'er's worship with a superior demeanor, and then pulled Xue'er in front of him, took out a thumb-sized oval wooden block from his arms, and then said to Xue'er: "This is the apprenticeship for the teacher, put it on your body to ensure that Xue'er is not sick." ”

The oval wooden block is black throughout, and at a glance it is not ordinary. Xue'er took it in her hand and looked at it repeatedly for a long time, and the more she looked at it, the more she liked it, and then turned her head to the old man and said, "Grandpa, is this wood really so magical?" ”

The old man saw the finger-sized wood in Bai Xue's hand, his cloudy eyes lit up, and then he smiled at Gu Sang and said, "You really don't want me to enter Gu to have a look?" ”

When Gu Sang heard this, his face changed, he pulled Xue'er behind him, looked at the old man with a wary face, and said unceremoniously: "Old liar, don't force me to turn against you." ”

"Forget it, it's the wooden block in Xue'er's hand that will give me ten or eight sticks, make it into a toothpick, you can pick your teeth if it's okay, old man, the tooth mouth is not good." The old man's cloudy eyes stared at the wooden stick in Cher's hand.

Xue'er quickly hid the wooden stick behind her back, and Gu Sang pointed at the old man angrily, and was about to scold.

The old man laughed a few times, stroked his beard, waved at Xue'er, and then turned and walked outside, and soon his figure disappeared at the end of the road.

Seeing the old man disappear, Gu Sang breathed a sigh of relief, while Xue'er was a little reluctant.

"Uncle, you said that I gave the stick to grandpa, will he come back?" Xue'er looked at Gu Sang aggrievedly.

"Don't worry, your grandfather will definitely come back, Xue'er is so well-behaved." Gu Sang comforted softly.

Suddenly, there was a gurgling sound from Xue'er's stomach, and her originally aggrieved face suddenly became a little embarrassed, and she whispered, "Uncle, I'm hungry." ”

"Call the master." Gu Sang pretended to be serious and looked at Xue'er.

"Got it, uncle." Cher said with a grin.

Gu Sang was speechless for a while, and pulled Xue'er into the valley, and then there was a silver bell-like laugh from Xue'er in the valley, as well as Gu Sang's distressed shouts.

The old man came out of the Medicine King Valley and shook his head with a smile, his mouth full of sighs. Then he walked aimlessly on the mountain road, and suddenly the old man stopped, squinted to the west, stroked his gray beard, and said with a smile: "Yo, that sword is finally out." It seems that some people finally can't hold back and want to bet. It's okay, let the old man completely mix this pool of water, and see how many old kings can be drawn. After saying that, his body moved slightly, and he appeared in the distance, and then his figure disappeared quickly.

Qin Chuan kept walking along the mountain road with a wooden stick, at this time he had been walking all morning, and the shoes under his feet were already a little damaged, but he still did not stop.

He wanted revenge, for the sake of the dead soldiers, for the sake of humiliation, for the sake of their eyes, and for the sake of making himself feel better.

Now thinking back to last night's attack, Yan Hui and the other sergeants were fully capable of breaking through, but they exchanged their lives for their own lives, so Qin Chuan had a resentment in his heart, he wanted to vent, it was impossible to find Gan Long for revenge, but he could go to Chen Cangcheng.

Chencang City is backed by Chencang Mountain, surrounded by fertile land, is an important grain production place of Qin, although it is no longer the capital of Qin, but it is a very important strategic place for Qin.

More importantly, there is a very small branch of the Ganlong family. Qin Chuan decided to take this small family under the knife, and also made Ganlong, an old horseman, pay some price.

It was precisely for this reason that Qin Chuan changed the direction of travel again, turning from south to southwest, and walking towards Chencang City. But just walking on the mountain road in the morning made Qin Chuan feel sore all over, coupled with the fact that the injuries last night had not healed, Qin Chuan's weak body was frivolous and pale.

Stopped, sat on the ground, leaned on a bare tree trunk, took out a piece of dry cake from his arms, bit down hard, chewed slowly on the ice water in the water bag, and after a while, waited for the dry cake to be softened by the blisters in his mouth, and swallowed it with difficulty this time.

Looking at the sky, it was past noon, Qin Chuan still had a cold face, carefully put the dry cake into his arms, stood up with the wooden stick in his hand, and prepared to move on. Before the night comes, he has to find a shelter from the wind, otherwise the cold wind of the winter night will definitely freeze him into a popsicle.

As soon as he stood up, a feeling of dizziness hit, and Qin Chuan felt a whirlwind of the sky, and his body fell to the ground uncontrollably, and he lost consciousness in an instant.
