Cao Ju deliberately left the corpses of the two county soldiers last night, just to make a big fuss about this matter, so that Cao Qi would come forward to interrogate, and no one would dare to fight the idea of widow Xing again. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Early in the morning, Cao Ju, as usual, after breakfast, carried an axe and firewood and went up the mountain to collect firewood.

The mountain where Cao Ju went to chop firewood, of course, is not Beishan, Beishan is the den of yellow turban thieves, and the mountain where Cao Ju went to chop firewood is called Dongshan, after leaving the fort gate, it goes straight to the east.

Dongshan and Beishan are both one mountain range, called Helian Mountains, but because the main peak of Helian Mountains is too high, the altitude is full of thousands of zhang, so that the North Mountain and Dongshan are almost impassable, unless someone can climb over the main peak of Helian Mountain.

Chopping wood, in fact, is the process of practicing, Cao Ju ran the Taiping Huanglong Gong, his feet barely touched the ground, the axe in his right hand flew in the air non-stop, and one after another of the best branches were cut down by him.

It was almost enough for two loads, so Cao Ju stopped, cut off the side branches that cut off the branches, bundled them into bundles, and tied them into burdens, even if today's wood-cutting task was completed, it only took an hour in total.

Then, Cao Ju did not go down the mountain to go home, but put the two loads of firewood away, and looked up the east mountain.

Up the east mountain, you can reach the main peak of Helian Mountain, but when Cao Ju came to the seashore about 300 zhang high, he stopped, no longer continued to climb, but walked towards a cave with a large flat mountain at the door.

In the past, Zhang Jiao, a great sage and mentor who gathered millions of yellow scarves, smiled proudly in the world, and almost destroyed the Han Dynasty, now lives here.

Cao Ju strode towards the cave, shouting, "Master, master, disciple is here." ”

"Come in." Cao Ju rushed to the door of the cave, and a middle-aged man's kind voice came from inside.

Cao Ju walked into the cave quickly, and was shocked to find that in the cave where Zhang Jiao originally lived alone, there was one more person today, a white-faced man who was not tall but thin.

"Huh?" Zhang Jiao lives here, it can be said that it is extremely secretive, except that when he went up the mountain to collect firewood, he was chased by a tiger, and came here unintentionally, only to find Zhang Jiao, and there is no second person in the entire county who knows.

Seeing Cao Ju's surprise, Zhang Jiao smiled slightly, pointed at the white-faced man, and said, "Ah Ju, come here, I've seen your senior sister Zhang Ning." ”

Masters?

Cao Ju was surprised again, and carefully looked at the white-faced man, and saw that he had no Adam's apple, a little less masculinity, but a little more feminine, it turned out that the master actually had a daughter.

Zhang Ning saw Cao Ju looking her up and down, his eyes were very casual, his pretty face was slightly red, and he snorted dissatisfiedly.

The other party was a woman, and when she heard Zhang Ning's hum, Cao Ju reacted at this time, and she also felt embarrassed, scratched her head, hugged her fists, and said with a smile: "Little brother Cao Ju has seen senior sister." "I thought to myself, wearing men's clothes is so charming, if you change back to women's clothes, obediently, I'm afraid even Widow Xing can't compare.

In ancient times, men dressed as women, in fact, was to neatly dress up women's hair, remove braids, tie into men's hairstyles, and then use the chest to tighten the two pieces that are more than men.

Because of his rude gaze just now, Zhang Ning had a very bad impression of Cao Ju, and he didn't return the salute, just said "um", and didn't even look at him again.

Hey, isn't this looking down on people, Cao Ju squinted his eyes, but it was hard to say anything, after all, she was the master's biological daughter, and if she was related by blood, she would definitely be closer than him, an apprentice who was a monk halfway.

Cao Ju said to Zhang Jiao: "Three days ago, the disciple didn't hear the master say that the senior sister was coming, otherwise, the disciple would definitely go far to pick up the senior sister, after all, the road is not safe at the moment." ”

The corners of Zhang Ning's mouth moved, and her face immediately showed disdain, but before she could speak, Zhang Jiao said with a smile: "Ah Ju, your senior sister has been learning art with me for many years, and her martial arts are not under you, and it is not a problem to deal with some thieves on the road." ”

Cao Ju understood in his heart that what was not under him was obviously much more powerful than him, so he smiled awkwardly and said, "Yes, Master, if the disciple cares, it will be messy." ”

Zhang Ning frowned again, dissatisfied in his heart, and secretly thought, soil buns are soil buns, there is no knowledge at all, what is it called caring is chaos, huh? This guy deliberately took advantage of me, the first time I met him, he had nothing to care about me, it was really hateful.

Zhang Jiao smiled again and said, "Ah Ju, do you still remember the letter I asked you to send three months ago, when you first worshipped me as a teacher?" It was for your senior sister, and after she received the letter, she rushed here, and only arrived last night. ”

I see, Cao Ju remembered that incident, and thought to himself, it seems that although the Yellow Turban Army has failed, there are still a lot of Yellow Turbans hidden in the people, and this is also a force worth controlling.

Cao Ju said with a smile: "The master lives here alone, and the disciple can't be with him, and he is quite uneasy in his heart. ”

Zhang Ning frowned, as if he wanted to say something, but was blocked by Zhang Jiao's look, and the latter said with a smile: "Ah Ju, this is exactly what the teacher meant, well, Ah Ju, how have you been doing in the past three days?" ”

Every three days, Zhang Jiao would ask about Cao Ju's progress in practice, and Cao Ju was most afraid of facing this problem, because he had not even broken through the first level of Taiping Huanglonggong so far. According to Zhang Jiao, when he first practiced Taiping Huanglonggong, there was no one to guide him, and it only took two months to break through to the first weight.

Besides, the disciples before Zhang Jiao, even Tang Zhou, who had the worst qualifications, were scolded by Zhang Jiao all day long, and it only took two and a half months to break through the first weight, but under Zhang Jiao's patient guidance, it has been three months, although he has been very diligent and hardworking, but he wants to cry without tears.

Cao Ju's return is still progressing slowly, Zhang Jiao is still disappointed, but he still does not blame Cao Ju, and tells him to continue to step up his practice, and the first weight should soon break through.

Knowing that Zhang Jiao was comforting him, Cao Ju listened and nodded his head in agreement, and then asked Zhang Jiao a few questions during the practice, so he said goodbye and left.

As soon as he turned around and walked out of the cave, Cao Ju heard Zhang Ning's dissatisfied voice: "Dad, why did you accept such a waste as an apprentice, you can't even break through the first weight in three months." ”

Cao Ju's heart moved, temporarily took away his thoughts, hid at the entrance of the cave, and eavesdropped on the conversation between Zhang Jiao's father and daughter.
