Xiong Zhangmen said: "Zichong, Tianlei, Xiaobai, go back and prepare clothes, and we will set off together early tomorrow morning." ”

"Yes, Master!"

"Other Huashan disciples listen to the order, the master needs to listen to your master's teachings when he goes out, and if there is any misconduct, he will be severely punished!"

"Follow the teachings!" ......

Xiaobai returned to the room and saw a familiar figure, she was lowering her head to sort out her clothes. Someone she listened to, looked up at Xiao Bai, and a pair of bright eyes met Xiao Bai's dark and deep eyes. That girl is Xiao Yi. The four eyes were only right for a moment, and she lowered her head again and said, "Little white boy, this is going to Wudang, the journey is far away, I can't take care of you, I need to take care of myself!"

Xiaobai was very moved, "There is Miss Lao Xiaoyi." ”

"Childe, you have to get up early tomorrow, so you should rest early. Xiao Yi said softly.

"Okay, good night. ”

Xiao Yi walked away slowly and gently closed the wooden door. What a gentle woman!

At night, Xiao Bai lay on the bed, a little unable to sleep, thinking: If you can practice martial arts in Huashan for the rest of your life, and have senior brothers and sisters, and Xiao Yi as companions, even if you forget the past, what does it matter?

In the early morning of the next day, the four masters and apprentices went down the mountain amid the farewell of everyone.

"We people in the rivers and lakes, unlike the wealthy officials, naturally do not have carriages and mounts, and rely on both feet on foot. Disciples, this trip should be self-training. The master paused, and then said: "This is to Wudang Mountain, the road is far away, the rivers and lakes are treacherous, and it is not as simple as Huashan." We carry the Darkiron Egg, and we can't afford to lose it. Therefore, everyone on the road should not mention this treasure, so as not to be snooped on by thieves. "Master wrapped the dark iron egg in his baggage.

"Yes, Master!" said the three of them in unison.

The four of them walked all the way, chatting all the way. In fact, it was more of the excitement of the three apprentices going down the mountain.

"Senior brother, you originally said that you wanted to teach me Huashan knife techniques, but in this way, you can only delay. Xiaobai was still thinking about learning knife skills.

"Xiaobai, what I promised you, senior brother, I will definitely not forget, I will go to Wudang, I will teach you one trick at a time on the way. Deng Zichong said seriously.

The master said: "When it comes to practicing martial arts, remember to be anxious. The reason why the teacher brought you out this time is actually to prepare for you to be able to learn from the Wudang disciples and develop your strengths and avoid your weaknesses. Looking at my disciples in Huashan, only the three of you are the best seedlings!"

Gu Tianlei was a little embarrassed and said, "The disciple feels that he is not as good as the second senior brother, why would the master let me come?"

"Alas, Haoyu, this kid is arrogant, and he is afraid that he will go out and cause trouble. What's more, according to my private observations, his understanding is actually not as good as yours, Tianlei!" said the master.

"Master Xie!" Gu Tianlei was very happy in his heart.

Before they knew it, the sky was about to get dark, and the three of them came to a small town, and the master said, "We can only spend the night here tonight, let's find a place to live." ”

"Master, there is a jade seller there, do you want to buy one and send it back to your wife?"

"Zichong, it's rare for you to be filial. But we are limited in entanglement, not to mention the fact that there are many fakes such as jade, and we don't know how to distinguish them. ”

"This old gentleman, this is a bad statement! I see that you are also a person with face in the rivers and lakes, and you have accepted apprentices. If you sincerely want it, I can sell it to you cheaply. My old Wang has been in this area for many years, if he sells fake jade, he won't be smashed sooner?"

"Labor and management are trying to smash your shop today!" a stout man walked over, "Lao Wang, what kind of jade are you selling me for?"

Lao Wang: "Naturally, it's a high-grade Hetian jade!"

"Superior?Hetian Yu?If you say it again, I'll smash your shop!" the stout man said loudly.

Lao Wang was a little weak-hearted, "This, while talking." As he spoke, he pulled the stout man's clothes to the side, for fear of affecting his reputation.

"Lao Wang, don't be a thief, if you have something to say, say it in front of everyone. The man shook off Lao Wang's hand and said, "You have made me miserable! I bought your jade and gave it to my junior sister." You say it's a high-grade Hetian jade. My sister happened to have a distant relative who knew how to identify jade, and he took it to take a look, "This is obviously an ordinary jade scrap, and for the sake of exquisite workmanship, it is at most one or two", and you are embarrassed to charge me twenty taels! Now my sister also ignores me, saying that I have no money to fill the fat man, so I give her fake jade. ”

Lao Wang said, "How can it be a fake jade! You return the jade to me, and I will return the money to you. ”

"I was thrown into the river in a fit of rage!"

"There is no evidence, you still frame my old king for selling fake jade! Tell me about it, old gentleman. ”

Xiong Zhuo said: "Indeed, everything is reasonable, and the basis is spoken, we have never seen that jade, who is right and who is wrong, it is not good to comment on yourself." ”

The stout man said loudly, "Okay! I'll smash your shop today." As he spoke, he took out a wooden stick and prepared to smash it.

There are more and more onlookers, but no one is persuaded to fight, and it seems that the more lively it is, the more enjoyable it is. Xiaobai looked at the master, and then at the senior brother and the third senior brother, and the three of them had no intention of dissuading them.

Just as the wooden stick smashed against the counter, Xiaobai couldn't help but pull out the iron knife at his waist, and with a "bell", the wooden stick broke into two pieces. Everyone was amazed! The show escalated in a blink of an eye.

"Stinky boy, don't meddle with things!" the stout man flew up and kicked at Xiaobai.

Xiao Bai's waist flashed, dodged, grabbed his calf with his right hand, and threw it out, and the stout man fell hard. The man's mouth was full of chatter, and his mouth was full of swearing.

Xiong Zhangmen walked over and said, "Everyone, as the saying goes, it is better to settle the dispute than to settle it, so let's do it, I will compensate him ten taels, and the old king will compensate him ten taels, what do you think?"

The stout man was also reasonable, "I'm fine." ”

"In that case, I'll pay him ten taels. I'll invite you to have another drink and make friends. Lao Wang said favorably.

Lao Wang led the four people of Huashan and the stout man to the largest restaurant in the town, and there were a few golden characters at the door of the restaurant, "Welcome Restaurant", and Lao Wang said: "Everyone, please come in." ”

The owner of the restaurant came out in person and said with a smile: "Lao Wang, I haven't seen you for a long time, don't come unharmed!"

"Thank you Hongfu, come on, come on, Lao Lu, let's have a few drinks too. ”

Lao Lu led everyone up to the third floor. The average house in that town was a one-story house, and a few wealthy families could build two floors. Standing on the third floor, the whole town comes into view, and it is the setting sun, and an afterglow is scattered on the town, quiet and beautiful.

After a short time, seven people sat down and drank and talked happily, and the previous unpleasantness had long since disappeared.

It turned out that the stout man was a disciple on Laojun Mountain not far away, and his name was Li Dazhuang. According to legend, Laojun Mountain is the place where Lao Tzu (the ancestor of Taoism) returned to seclusion and practice, and the name of the mountain was given by Taizong of Tang Dynasty.

"Da Zhuang Shaoxia, Lao Wang, the jade I sold you is indeed a high-grade Hetian jade, and twenty taels is indeed not expensive, but later you said that a friend identified it as a fake jade, and I don't know the reason. ”

At this time, Li Dazhuang also drank too much, and said with a red face: "Brother Wang, I naturally trust your character, I don't know if the senior sister's relatives are clumsy, or if Haoyu was transferred by a thief." Don't talk about this jade, come, let's do this wine!"

"Refreshing!" Lao Wang drank it all, "If the young man doesn't dislike it, go to my store and pick another piece of beautiful jade, and give it to you at half price." ”

Lao Lu, the owner of the restaurant, said with a smile, "I said Lao Wang, you are not happy! I invited this wine today, and you brothers eat and drink well." Jade, Lao Wang, you can send a piece of good to this strong young man, so that he can hug the beauty as soon as possible! Haha. ”

"What Brother Lu said is extremely true! Then it is decided. Lao Wang said.
