Chapter 14: The First Trip

Bai Cangshan Yi sat on the steps in front of the statue of the Earth Lord, looking at the children practicing their fists and kicks in the open space, and recalled in his mind what Hua Tuo had said and the instructions before leaving.

"The five forms have no door and no faction, I came by myself, heaven and earth and all things are one, you will slowly understand in the future, I walk the world, travel all over the world, never stay in one place too much, you and I have the fate to meet again today, pass on your and other exercises for life-saving purposes, can he meet again in the future, and I passed on your set of acupuncture you also impose more practice, it will also be good for you in the future" Hua Tuo left the broken temple and hurried away, thinking of Bai Cang's resolute eyes and innocent mentality, his heart said" This son is open-minded, and he may be able to integrate my exercises one day, and I really want to see how strong the limits of my exercises are."

"It's not early, let's go back first, from tomorrow onwards, you will take them to practice here, I will come here to find you as soon as I have time" Bai Cang looked up at the sky and said to the mountain wing.

Everyone returned to Jinyang City, Shan Yi and the others went back to Zaojun Temple, Bai Cang swayed and walked to Ding's Mansion, thinking about the five-form exercise while walking, the more he thought about it, the more he devoted, and unconsciously arrived at the door of Ding's Mansion, and when he looked up, he just saw Gao Shun coming out of the gate.

"Gao Jiaotou, are you still going out when it's getting dark?" Bai Cang asked

"You're back, I'm not going out to look for you, you're going out all day, didn't you say to go to those boys? Why did you come back so late? Gao Shun said slightly angrily, since the incident of the hunting ground, the Ding Mansion has been extremely careful, before Ding Yuan came back, everyone in the mansion was escorted by a large number of soldiers, for fear of revenge from the bandits.

Bai Cang was stunned and immediately reacted, he had been out for a whole day today, and the ladies would not care whether he lived or died, but Gao Shun couldn't ignore it, and wanted to go out to find himself when he saw that the sky was about to get dark.

"Gao Jiaotou, I'm fine, you don't have to worry, what can happen to Jinyang City's heavy guards" Bai Cang saw that Gao Shun was angry, and hurriedly smiled and appeased, treating Gao Shun Bai Cang as both a master and a big brother.

"Fuzhong has strengthened its garrison now, but the city is not as good as Fuzhong, if the garrison is suddenly strengthened, it will cause panic among the people, especially some clans and wealthy merchants, no one can suppress them if Lord Assassin Shi is not there, so you have to be careful when you go out, bandits are likely to sneak into the city to attack and assassinate."

"I understand, I'll pay attention to the head of the high school, but I may go out often in the future, and I'm not in the city, if you don't worry, you might as well go with me."

"Not in the city? Are you out of town today? Gao Shun asked angrily when he heard this.

Bai Cang can only admit it, otherwise I am afraid that it will be impossible to leave the house even if I want to go out of the house in the future, "That's right, I took the third child and them to the land temple outside the city today, where it is secluded and there is no one, it is just right for us to practice, we want to practice kung fu as soon as possible to avenge Gongziguang."

"It's too dangerous, I know the Land Temple, is it in a forest ten miles outside the city? There is a high probability that bandits will gather over there, so don't go in the future" Gao Shun understood the mood of Bai Cang and the others, but safety was more important.

Bai Cang's eyes shook his head firmly and said, "The third child, they will go every day in the future, I can't leave them alone, even if you stop me, I will go, I used to listen to you, but this time I have made up my mind."

Gao Shun stared at Bai Cang for a long time, sighed and said, "Okay, since you have made up your mind, I can only sacrifice my life to accompany the gentleman, but you must enter the city before dark, otherwise I will take someone to demolish the land temple."

"In a word, what danger can there be if there is a high education head to follow," Bai Cang smiled again.

More than a month passed like this, and at the end of the year, the assassin finally came back, Lu Bu and Gao Shun explained the incident to Ding Yuan one by one, and several ladies came to Ding Yuan to cry for a while, and the unexpected Ding Yuan was not angry, and he did not reprimand anyone in the house except for being sad, but just called Bai Cang to tell him to be careful or something, and praised Lu Bu Gao Shun for taking care of the house these days, and then it was over.

Everyone is still living as usual, Ding Yuan's daily official affairs are unusually busy, and the workload has nearly doubled compared to before, except for recruiting a few new Confucian scholars to help take care of it, there is no difference between the mansion and usual.

More than a year has passed in a blink of an eye, Bai Cang and Shan Yi with a few children are still practicing martial arts in the broken temple all day long, the wind and rain never stop, Gao Shun went to the broken temple with Bai Cang as soon as he had time to ensure their safety.

This morning, Bai Cang was just about to go out, and a guard came over and said, "Little Bai Cang, the master is looking for you, hurry up", "Oh, I'll go right away" Bai Cang answered, turned around and said to Gao Shun, "Gao Jiaotou, you go first, I'll go to you later."

"Okay, pay attention to safety on the road, it seems that it hasn't been peaceful recently," Gao Shun instructed to walk out of the city.

Bai Cang came to Ding Yuan's study and shouted at the door, "Father-in-law, Bai Cang is here."

"Come in" Ding Yuan's voice came from inside, Bai Cang pushed the door in, only to see Ding Yuan sitting behind the desk reading a book, seeing Bai Cang come in, put down the book in his hand and pointed to the opposite side and said, "Sit down, our father and son will talk today."

Bai Cang sat cross-legged, straightened up and faced Ding Yuan, Ding Yuan nodded and smiled, "I know that you have been practicing martial arts in the broken temple for the past year, and I also know that you want to avenge Ah Guang, I haven't talked to you a few words this year, do you know why?" ”。

"My father-in-law is here to protect me, and the ladies in the house have always regarded me as a thorn in their side, and my father-in-law pretends to be alienated from me, so that they can relax their vigilance," Bai Cang replied.

"This is on the one hand, and another point I want to observe you, you know, a person is easy to change after experiencing major changes, for example, I put it, Ah Guang's death really made me unacceptable for a while, I also thought about leading troops to find this gang of bandits, but after I calmed down, it was another state of mind, I suddenly felt that a person's life and death were arranged in the dark, you think he will accompany you for a long time, or even a lifetime, but it may disappear in a blink of an eye."

"Father-in-law, I understand your feelings, I have been practicing martial arts frantically this year, I think that practicing martial arts can calm me down, although the progress is not much, but the mood has a different feeling, I will definitely revenge me, but I will not force myself, just go with the flow" Bai Cang's eyes were calm and abnormal, there was no fluctuation, and there was a lot less frivolity than before.

"Very good, I'm glad you can say that, you will be thirteen years old in a few months, and you can be considered an adult, I called you today to give you something to do" Ding Yuan nodded and said with relief.

Bai Cang asked in slight surprise, "Oh, my father-in-law, please say something, I will do my best to complete it."

"Well, my father-in-law and the director of the Yingchuan Hall have set that I will go to this year's book meeting, but a few days ago, I was ordered to go to Beijing to report on my work, I'm afraid it will be difficult to go to the meeting, I want to ask you to help me go, this is a long way to Yingchuan, it is the longest time you have been out of the house, you can put forward any request" Ding Yuan looked at Bai Cang and said.

Bai Cang thought for a while and asked, "My father-in-law asked me to go to the Yingchuan Guild Hall, do you have any special tasks?" ”。

"It's just an appointment with the curator, you go and take me to say hello to him by yourself, I'll write a letter, you can help me hand it over to him, nothing else" Ding Yuan shook his head and smiled.

"In this case, I don't have to worry, I only have one request, can my father-in-law ask the head of the high sect to go with me, and I can take care of him along the way" Bai Cang asked.

"I originally wanted to do so, since you brought it up, I will give you the token, you go directly to Boda to explain," Ding Yuan said, took out a token from his sleeve and handed it to Bai Cang, and said, "This token can mobilize all the soldiers in the mansion, and it cannot be used lightly, so I will temporarily hand it over to you for safekeeping."

"Father-in-law, don't worry, except for explaining to the head of the high sect, I won't use this token" Bai Cang hurriedly put the token away and replied.

"Well, there is nothing else you can go, you are ready to leave for a long time, remember to go to the account room to pay some expenses, and help me buy some gifts for the hall" Ding Yuan instructed Bai Cang to retreat after the meeting.

Seeing Bai Cang retreat, Ding Yuan slowly took out a piece of jade pendant from his arms, it was the purple gold jade pendant back then, stared at the jade pendant for a long time, and Ding Yuan tightly covered his fist.

There are some things he didn't say, it's hard to say, he is not a saint, he has also been impulsive, looking at this piece of purple gold jade pendant Ding Yuan's heart deeply blamed, once upon a time he also thought of monopolizing this jade pendant and killing Bai Cang, as long as he killed Bai Cang, this is mine.

Zijin Jade Pendant, Ruling the White Gate, no one knows what kind of strength it is, but the influence of the legend is too great, the White Gate is the White Gate, even after hundreds of years, its influence has not faded, and the sect established by the Killing God back then is not just talking.

But what can I do if I rule the White Gate? I, Ding Yuan, am loyal and loyal to the Han court, and will never rebel and lead the White Gate to punish the evil? It's just a joke, gangs are gangs after all, and the corrupt officials in the court are not a gang that can be controlled, since I don't need it, why should I be nostalgic with it, and I have to bear a lifetime of guilt in my heart.

Ding Yuan, who figured this out, suddenly became enlightened, although he secretly inquired about some news about Baimen, but to no avail. After all, a legend is a legend, a thousand years is too long, no one knows if this white gate still exists, even if it survives, what can it do to this day, it is better to let him disappear in the long river of history.
