After a day and a night, the Tengger sneaked into a low-lying area surrounded by mountains, crisscrossed by hills, and a sweet spring, which was the best place to hide themselves.

This place was discovered by the old patriarch Gilda two years ago, and this place looks unremarkable at all, even if there are more people hiding in it.

Of course, if the grassland people want to live, they can't always hide themselves, because if the cattle and sheep want to graze, they have to chase after the more abundant pastures and clearer water.

Living in pursuit of water and grass is both their way and their destiny.

Now they can't care so much, they have killed so many Bagan people, it is estimated that the black dog Harinao Hai has found it, and is searching for them everywhere like a mad dog.

Guo Yang and Anu rescued the old patriarch Jida and his people, and originally planned to leave it alone and go deeper into the grassland to find their mother, but the old patriarch Jida's knife and knife skills made them a little puzzled, so they temporarily followed.

"Anu, you go and find out where his knives and knife skills come from." Guo Yang gave an order, lifted the horse forward, and came to a low hill.

Several Tengger children rode up and followed. They usually rode mules and oxen, and there were not so many horses in the tribe for many years, which made them all like foals, enjoying themselves on the early morning grassland.

"Uncle, what's your name?" There was a child who was very bold and not afraid of life at all, so he followed Guo Yang all the way up the hill, tilted his head and asked.

"My name is Guo Yang, what about you?" Guo Yang said with a gentle smile.

"My name is Battle." The kid said.

Battle means hero in the steppe, and it seems that his parents want their children to be heroes.

"You're a great name, you're a big hero of the future." Guo Yang said with a smile.

The kid tilted his head, thought seriously for a while, understood what Guo Yang meant, and said happily: "Yes, Battle means hero." ”

During these days of wandering in the grassland, Guo Yang and Anu also learned a lot of the language of the grassland people, and simple communication was no problem.

"Battle is a hero, and you're going to be a hero when you grow up." Guo Yang got off the horse, took out two leopard skins, and threw one of them to Battle.

Sitting on the leopard skin, Battle stroked the colorful leopard skin in surprise, his eyes full of excitement: "Uncle Guo Yang, is this a leopard?" ”

"It's a leopard's skin." Guo Yang corrected with a smile.

"Uncle Guo Yang, you are very powerful, I want to learn martial arts from you, and you can also learn grassland dialect with me." Battle said.

"Okay, uncle will teach you martial arts." Guo Yang took out a knife and threw it to Battle along with the scabbard.

Battle grabbed the knife in disbelief, his dirty little hands caressing it, and the cooked cowhide scabbard with the cooked copper hoop already made him love it.

Guo Yang taught the most basic exercises of the Lone Bamboo Knife Method to Battle.

The Lone Bamboo Knife Method is a total of three moves, inhale, exhale, hold the knife, inhale, draw the knife, exhale, and put it into the sheath, which is not difficult at all. As for how much can be comprehended afterwards, it can only be reflected in those thousands of repeated practice. Therefore, Battle quickly mastered the essentials of practice and went to practice there in a decent manner.

Guo Yang reclined on the leopard skin, looking at the clean sky, thinking about his own thoughts.

……

"Young Master, have you accepted a new apprentice?" Anu came, looked at Battle, who was practicing his sword not far away, and asked with some surprise.

"It's not an apprentice, if he wants to learn martial arts, I'll teach him." Guo Yang turned over and said lazily.

The sun has risen one rod high, and it is warm and comfortable on the body.

"You and Atuna stinky boy have the same temper, and they both like to accept apprentices." Anu sat down on the grass and said with a smile.

"Atu? Something to do with Atu? Guo Yang was stunned for a moment, and immediately reacted, Anu was talking about the old patriarch Jida's knife and knife technique.

"Yes, the old patriarch Jida turned out to be Atu's old apprentice...... Haha, young master, you have become a grandfather. Anu seemed to be very happy, Ah Jiu and Ah Tu's stinky boys were cultivated by him, and every time he heard their news, Anu couldn't help but laugh.

"Old apprentice...... Ah Tu, this stinky boy has been to this grassland? Guo Yang also laughed.

"The old patriarch Jida told me that his knife and knife technique were taught to him by a man named Atu five years ago. He inadvertently saved Atu, who was seriously ill, and kept him in the tribe for two months. As a token of gratitude, Ah Tu passed on his knife skills and left a knife to his old apprentice when he left. ”

Anu said with a smile, his eyes narrowed into slits, and he seemed to be very happy.

Guo Yang was also very happy when he heard it, his mind was similar to Anu, and every time he thought of the thirty little hyenas, he would feel a trace of indescribable warmth.

"Those stinky boys are all right." Looking at the clear blue sky, there were a few clouds slowly drifting, Guo Yang said in a low voice.

Something happened to Atu's old apprentice, and Guo Yang and Anu had to take care of it. What's more, the old patriarch Jida also saved Atu's life, which is even more of a cause and effect.

If there is hatred, there must be revenge, and if there is grace, it must be repaid, and there is no ambiguity! This is the principle that Guo Yang and Anu have always pursued.

"Let's go, go find Atu's old apprentice!" Guo Yang suddenly stood up and said loudly.

……

The old patriarch Jeddah was lying on the ox cart and was directing the old men and women to set up their tents. They have long been very skilled in these rough jobs, but the old patriarch Jida is still not very relieved, even if the wounds on his body hurt so much that he grinned, he had to personally command.

Those two people from the south were very powerful, and they seemed to look at him differently, which flattered him, and also made him feel faintly relied on.

He used to be the most powerful character in this grassland, but not anymore, and the old patriarch Gilda needs help.

"Tell us about the Hazhnau Sea." Guo Yang and Anu walked straight over and spoke.

The old patriarch Jida struggled to get up, and Guo Yang gently held him down.

"Harinauhai is a dog on the grassland, a big black dog with a black heart and black lungs." The old patriarch Jida said, "Harinao Sea is a wall grass, on the grassland, whoever has great power, he is the most loyal dog, often without the master to speak, will bite those possible enemies to death." ”

"Back then, when we Tengger people were at their strongest, he was one of my old Gilda's dogs, and he followed me closely, and was one of my most powerful dogs. Later, the devil Agoura came, and he immediately turned his face and became Agoura's dog. At that time, the Tengger people's two greatest losses were caused by the betrayal of this Harinao Sea, which killed many people and lost all the warriors and horses. ”

The old patriarch Gilda was calm, as if he was telling someone else's story. But Guo Yang and Anu clearly saw the flame of hatred in his cloudy old eyes.

"Where is their nest, and how far is it?" Guo Yang asked suddenly.

"Their camp is more than 800 miles northwest of here, next to Arishan Haizi, near which there is a tall mountain called Bagen Peak, where their ancestors have been entrenched for a long time, so they call themselves the Bagen tribe." Old Patriarch Jedda said.

"How many of them are there? Have you ever been to the places of the Bagan people? Guo Yang asked.

"I've been, back then, we Tengger people were still their masters, and I was invited by their old patriarch to live next to Arishan Haizi for two months. The sea is amazing, in the morning, the water in the sea is green, and at night, it turns red. Old Patriarch Gidda said.

"It's good to have been there, you can go back and give me a detailed map." After Guo Yang finished speaking, he left, he wanted to teach that Batel a little more martial arts.

"Maps? What is a map? Seeing Guo Yang turn around and leave, the old patriarch Jida looked at Anu with some confusion.

"That's it...... Locations were marked on the skins, and maps of mountains, rivers, and roads were drawn. Anu made a brief gesture, and the old patriarch Gilda quickly understood.

"I have the map you need." The old patriarch Gilda turned his head and called out to an old man, muttering a few words, and the old man walked briskly to a pile of wooden boxes and sheepskin bags and rummaged for a while, and brought a few rolls of sheepskin.

"That's all the maps you're talking about, right?" The old patriarch Jida laughed, the wound on his body hurt so much that he bared his teeth, making his smiling face a little distorted.

Anu opened the rolls of sheepskin, looked through them carefully, and sure enough, it was a map. However, he didn't know any of the words used in the annotations, so he had to continue to ask the old patriarch Jida for advice.

The old patriarch Gilda gave Anu a detailed guide to one of the maps of the Arishan Haizi and the Bagan people, and asked Anu to remark it himself. Which are the mountains, which are the rivers, where are the kennels of the Bagan people, and which path you can quietly touch the back mountain of the Bagan Divine Peak, it is extremely detailed.

Anu sighed when he heard this, this old apprentice of Atu is really powerful, worthy of being an old wolf on the grassland, and his memory is so good!

"I know that if you want to help us, you must tell you in advance that the Bagan are very good on horseback, and that a single knight can challenge the warriors of seven or eight southern farming tribes. So, try not to let them get on horseback. The old patriarch Gilda reminded gratefully.

He had seen Guo Yang and Anu perform ghostly martial arts, and believed that these two people were the people sent by Tengger to save them, and even, maybe Tengger himself.

On horseback, he was so proud of the world that he could make the former most powerful merchant king, Di Xin, invite him to drink. But now, he's old, too old, too old to have faith.

Anu smiled softly, patted the old patriarch Jida on the shoulder, and said, "You are Atu's apprentice, and the two of us are Atu's masters, so you are our apprentice's apprentice, and we have to help with this." ”

After Anu finished speaking, he left with the few rolls of sheepskin maps, leaving the old patriarch Jida to lie alone on the ox cart, scratching his white-haired old head, frowning and thinking for a long time before he figured out that these two people were his grandfather.

"No wonder the martial arts are so high, it turns out to be the master's master!" The old patriarch Gilda slapped his forehead vigorously, a little incredulous.
