Chapter 82: Hidden Strength
(Today's update)
He Wu squatted by the river, scrubbed a dilapidated clay pot vigorously, and said to the clear river water: "Hu Guiyang, you are not worthy of your sister in the first place, but you still dare to push back and block, do you regret it now?" Haha, my sister doesn't want to marry you at all. ”
"Hu Guiyang, let's go, leave that ghost place in the capital, go back to Jiangnan to find the fairy master, you can stay by yourself, and be a minion and a lackey for the court, phew." He Wu Madman rubbed harder.
"Hu Guiyang, when my sister practices the Heavenly Trick, she will naturally find a husband who is more handsome, richer, and more powerful than you, and then you will look at it with a blank eye, haha."
He Wu madman took a bite of "Hu Guiyang", said happily, and finally brushed the clay pot almost clean, pressed it into the river and soaked it a few times, and then it was full of water, holding it in both hands, and walked back happily.
Walking through a sparse wood, He Wu Maniac returned to a few grass houses.
This is a small country farm, which can only serve coarse tea and light rice, and the guests stop to rest their legs and feet, so that the animals can eat some forage.
The owner is an old couple, polite to every customer, as much as possible to provide everything for use, so as to earn a few pennies, especially young customers, who are more exquisite, but more generous, are their favorite guests.
"Is the bowl ready?" He Wu Madman asked loudly.
"Alright, it's been ready for a long time." The husband and wife greeted each other with smiles.
"Washed?"
"Clean, washed five times."
"Hmm." He Wu Madman expressed satisfaction.
In the shadow of a big tree on the side of the road, Third Sister He sat on a blanket that was spread on several layers, her whole body covered in clothes and hats, like a statue of a god who could not officially see the light of day.
Not far away, a mule and a donkey were eating the hay in the bag with their heads down.
He Wu Madman took out one hand, came to his sister with a wooden plate, put down the plate, and poured water into the two bowls, "I have tasted it, the water here is very good, if you taste it carefully, it tastes a little sweet." ”
"Actually, you don't have to be so troublesome, just drink saliva."
"How's that going to work?" He Wu Madman glared at the slightly larger eye, "It's okay to go in a hurry, you can't endure hardships on the road, and we don't have no money." ”
There were two bags beside Sister He, which were all their belongings, with standing clothes and some gold and silver.
"Hehe, sister, when did you save so much money? I won't even tell you. ”
"It's not the money I saved, it's all millions, so let's borrow it." Third Sister He reached out and picked up a bowl of water, put it in the veil, drank a little, and sent it back to its original place.
He Wu Madman poured a big bowl and poured another bowl, "No matter how sweet the water is, it is not as good as bad wine." Sister, you told me why you left after you left the city, can you say it now? Moreover, should we call He Million Daddy? ”
"No, he's not our biological father."
"But he raised us after all."
"He raised us as strange birds and beasts, so that one day he could use us to refine the elixir, how can such a person call him father again?"
He Wu Madman trembled, and the big eyes became bigger, "Wouldn't it?" He may not be called a loving father, but he is not a wicked man. ”
"Remember your three older brothers?"
"Remember, they all died, burned, drowned, and fell to death, they were all quite unlucky."
"That's not bad luck, it's a test designed by a million, how did your leg lame?"
"My legs ...... Climbing a tree and falling lame. ”
"Think about it, are you going to climb the tree yourself?"
"It's too small, and if you think about it, it seems to be...... He million forced me to climb up, it's so high, I'm still a little scared when I think about it now. ”
"That's right, the five of us have all been tested by He Million, the three of them unfortunately died, and the two of us survived, and we passed the first hurdle before we were raised."
He Wu was very surprised, picked up the bowl, replaced the wine with water, and poured a big sip, "Why didn't you say it earlier?" Third sister, what are the tests you have endured? ”
"I was stabbed, there was no medical treatment, and it took me three whole days to recover."
He Wu Madman stood up and threw the bowl in his hand to the ground, "It turns out that he is such a person!" ”
The old couple in the distance were startled, they were afraid that the guests would make trouble, not only would they not get the reward, but they would also lose a lot of equipment.
"In vain, I called him 'Dad' for so many years, and the next time I see him, I must hold his head down and let him call him back all at once."
"It's better never to see each other, and if you do, you have to hide from it."
"Why? He's just a little old man, and I can handle it with one finger. ”
"He's not ordinary, he's ......" Third Sister He suddenly shut up.
He Wu also sensed that something was wrong, turned around to look, and saw that under the pergola in front of a few thatched houses, there was an extra guest at some point, and the shopkeeper and his wife were receiving him attentively.
The guest was dressed in a wide robe and large sleeves, and a short donkey stood beside him, carrying two packages on his back, which were square, like wooden boxes wrapped in cloth.
The two sides were quite far apart, but Third Sister He looked extremely vigilant and sat there motionless.
"I'll go over and ask."
"Stay still." Third Sister He stopped her younger brother, "Guard behind you." ”
He Wu Madman looked behind him and didn't see anything unusual, but he listened to his sister's words and didn't move, "Who is this person?" ”
"We just met."
"Have you seen it? How I don't remember. ”
"It was night, he didn't show up, and we fought through the door."
"I remembered, Hu Guiyang said that his name was Wen Bu...... I can't ...... it, "He Wu, a madman, can't remember it."
The man threw a few copper coins on the table, and led the donkey slowly, tall in stature, with three long whiskers and two sleeves swinging in the wind.
"I can't smell it below."
"By the way, it's you, I can't smell it, but you have a very smart nose, and you chased it here."
"It's just luck. I wonder where the two are going? ”
"You want to care?" He Wu Maniac clenched his fists and was eager to try, and in his eyes there was never a person who could not be beaten or could not be beaten.
"Fifth brother." Third Sister He said softly.
He Wu turned around and concentrated on monitoring the situation in the rear.
"I was entrusted to take you two back to Beijing."
"Why did a million get their wish?"
"Alas, it fell short."
Third Sister He was silent for a while, "What about Hu Guiyang?" ”
"Hehe, he's so big that even I can't help but believe that he's a little special."
"He's nothing special, just a little smarter than all of you."
"Haha, but no matter how smart he is, he doesn't know the true face of your brother and sister, so he actually stepped forward and shot my donkey, just to save your life."
He Wu couldn't help but turn around, "What are you two talking about?" ”
"Your stupid brother doesn't know yet." I can't hear it sarcastically.
He Wu madman said angrily: "No one dares to say that I am stupid. "I'm going to rush to a big fight.
"Fifth brother." Third Sister He stopped him in time, "Don't be fooled." ”
He Wu was taken aback, "Yes, he knows how to use heavenly skills, I can't get too close." ”
Wen Bu smiled softly, "Your sister is quite smart, how do you know that I won't kill you that night?" ”
"Hu Guiyang is the 'demon fox' that you have created with great difficulty, how can you be willing to kill it? Your purpose that night was to show the Zhao family Yizi the Heavenly Skill Technique in order to deceive their trust, but you deliberately did not use the advanced techniques so that I would have a chance to defeat you. ”
"It's a pity that you are weaker than I expected, and in the end it was Hu Guiyang who came up with a way."
"Half of the Heavenly Machine Technique relies on operation, half on equipment, my equipment is not as good as yours, of course it is not an opponent."
"Haha, you think your operations are on par with me?" I can't smell it and put away my smile, "Even your master is not necessarily stronger than me." ”
"Let ......" He Wu Maniac forcibly held back the words behind him, and gritted his teeth in anger.
"Come back with me." I can't hear the command.
"You have failed, why are you going back to Beijing if you don't flee everywhere?"
"Victory and defeat are a common thing in soldiers, we have not lost yet, we still have a chance."
"That has nothing to do with our brothers and sisters, we will stay away from the capital, no longer participate in your plans, and we will not sabotage."
I couldn't hear it and sighed lightly, "One of you has learned the Heavenly Machine Technique, and the other has learned the Fire God Technique, throw down a word, and just leave?" It's not that easy. ”
The more He Wu heard it, the more confused he became, but his sister was there, so he didn't dare to turn around again, so he could only honestly monitor the rear.
"My brother and sister didn't ask anyone to teach the exercises."
Smelling it, he shook his head, "The rules are not set by you, He Sanchen, He Wufeng, I will give you one last chance." ”
"Third sister, let me beat him!" He Wu madman couldn't help but ask for battle.
"Look at the back." Third Sister He still didn't allow her younger brother to turn around.
Wen couldn't lead the donkey slowly, and smiled: "Even when I retain my strength, you are not my opponent, why waste time?" Come back with me, you still have the opportunity to learn higher-level exercises, you know, in addition to your master and me, the Wen clan has more powerful masters, and the exercises are beyond your imagination. ”
"Maybe I'll keep my strength that night."
When he heard the smile, he didn't believe it at all, he knew every trick that Third Sister He had learned, and he was sure of winning.
In the distance, the old man and wife stood under the shed and looked at each other, their faces full of sorrow, no matter who won or lost, it was not a good thing for their small shop.
"Listen to the voice, it's just a little girl, my brother is still lame." The old woman sighed.
"Shhhh The old man stops his wife.
The two of them looked at each other from a distance, and suddenly their eyes widened at the same time, with a look of disbelief, although they were old, their eyesight had not been completely lost, and they could see clearly, a sword flew in front of the wide-robed guest!
The old couple was speechless, they believed that there were ghosts and gods everywhere in this world, but it was the first time in their lives that they had seen such a magical spell with their own eyes.
But the flying sword didn't last long, and suddenly fell to the ground.
The battle that had been promised ended in nothing, and the wide-robed guests seemed to be kind at the last moment and decided to let the young siblings go.
The two siblings packed up their things, rode donkeys and mules, and took away the two packages on the donkeys led by the wide-robed guests.
He Wu Madman threw a small piece of broken silver from afar, "Is it enough?" ”
The husband and wife looked at the silver, but neither of them picked it.
He Wu madman drove the mule forward proudly, and he was not surprised at all, because in his mind, the third sister has always been so powerful.
A donkey and a mule walked away, and the guest in the wide robe was still standing in place, and the old couple waited for a long time, and finally couldn't help but be curious, and walked over slowly.
The guest remained standstill, with a small wound on his forehead, and blood flowed out, forming a thin line that reached his chest, which by this time had dried up.
As the sun set, the five madmen riding mules asked, "Third sister, where are we going?" Go back to Gangnam? ”
"I don't know." There was no joy in Sister He'er's tone at all to defeat a strong enemy.
"Listening to you, it seems that I know who the Immortal Master is."
"Immortal Master...... It's He Million, he won't let us go. ”
Like the old couple behind him, He Wu was so shocked that he couldn't speak.
