Because of the war and chaos, the Fenglingdu ferry on the north bank of the Yellow River was constantly noisy, the horses neighed and the donkeys barked, the cows and mules sounded, the travelers were in a hurry, and they did not dare to delay for a moment, they all wanted to rush to cross the Yellow River and go south early, in order to avoid the rampant Mongolian soldiers, and it was best to flee all the way to the coast of Guangdong, completely avoid the war, and seek stability for the rest of their lives.

Not surprisingly, the most chaotic place is the dock. The front of the pier was already overcrowded and crowded. Everyone wants to board a boat and cross the river one step ahead of everyone else.

However, with limited ships and limited manpower, not everyone can get their wish. The sun is about to set, the sky is getting darker, and the day is coming to an end. The travelers had no choice, they couldn't discuss with God, and they wanted him to get dark later, seeing that there was no hope of boarding the ship, he must have been unable to go, so he quickly dispersed, like ants, dragging his family with his mouth, and hurriedly ran to the nearby inn. Travelers don't want to be able to get a single room, they just want to grab a place to live in the lobby and spend the night. Rao is planning to do this, but there are still many people who can't find a place to stay, so they have no choice but to gather together in groups to sleep outside.

One of the largest inns in town is called "Andu Old Store", which is also full of people at this time, and there is no room for any more. The travelers come from all over the world, with different temperaments, and at this moment, everyone is anxious, and it is inevitable that there will be quarrels and conflicts. The shopkeeper and his guys mediated all the time, and with great effort, they temporarily stabilized the scene.

The sky was getting darker and darker, and the shopkeeper had just arranged a few female dependents, suddenly heard the sound of horses' hooves outside, stopped at the door, frowned, looked at the lobby full of people, and sighed: "Someone is here again, I can only be sorry." "I only hope that the people who come will have softer ears, be more considerate, and see that the situation is very good, and they can leave on their own.

Sure enough, the door curtain was lifted, and a middle-aged man walked in, and said in a loud voice: "Shopkeeper, come ten catties of beef, two jars of wine, and twenty steamed buns." ”

The shopkeeper didn't dare to respond casually, walked quickly to the middle-aged man, saw that he had a blade hanging from his waist, and his heart was pang, guessing that it was a Jianghu person, arched his hand, and said respectfully: "Guest officer, are you using it here or taking it out?" "He didn't dare to drive people out directly, so he tried and tried first.

The man is tall and big, but he is a thoughtful person, looking at the scene in the hall, combined with the tone of the old shopkeeper, he guessed the meaning of the old shopkeeper, smiled on his face, and said warmly: "Don't panic the shopkeeper, I don't live in the store, I will leave after buying the food, don't trouble you, please hurry." So saying, he took out the money and put it on the ark.

The shopkeeper breathed a sigh of relief and said in his heart: "It's rare to see such kind of kind people in the rivers and lakes, and I'm really lucky today." He smiled and said, "Thank you for your understanding, I'll tell the guy to prepare it for you." He turned his head and shouted to the man, counted the silver on the counter, returned the excess, dragged the bench behind the counter to the front of the table, and said with a smile: "You sit down for a while, wait for a while." ”

The man nodded in thanks and simply sat down.

At that moment, footsteps were heard outside the door, and then the curtain was lifted, and a man and a woman walked in.

The male was born very short, only four feet, with an average appearance, slightly crowded facial features, and strangely, a beard that hung straight down to the ground, which was really strange. The woman was very different from the man, tall and slender, with white skin and beautiful appearance, and a small black mole at the corner of her mouth added to the style. Both of them are dressed in green clothes, but they are not the current fashion, they are covered with fur, but they are popular at the moment, and everyone in the lobby feels strange.

I only heard the girl say, "Oh, senior brother, there is no place again." The voice was sweet and anxious.

The senior brother in the girl's mouth glanced around the hall, shook his head, put his beard on the crook of his arm, and said, "Don't worry, let's ask, and see if there are any good Samaritans willing to give us a place." I'll do whatever I want, just arrange it for you. In his words, he was very attentive to his sister and beckoned her to walk to the counter.

After listening to the conversation between the two, everyone knew that the man and woman were a pair of brothers and sisters, but they couldn't help but sigh that the senior brother was really old, and the senior sister was really young, and they were curious about what age their master was.

The shopkeeper saw the two of them coming over, and said with a smile: "Two guest officers, I'm sorry, the small shop is really empty, and there is only one counter left to accommodate it." ”

The senior brother immediately frowned, glanced at the girl, and asked: "Shopkeeper, can you help to make peace with others, say peace, my old man is easy to say, but my senior sister is a girl's family, and it is not good to show up at the door." ”

The girl also knew that she was in a difficult situation at this time, her face was shy, a little embarrassed, and she lowered her head. It seems that this girl is not often walking outside, and most of them are a lady.

The old shopkeeper sighed and said, "I'll help you go and ask again, but don't get your hopes up, I've asked many times just now, and the guests are a little annoyed." "Go and ask.

The middle-aged man stood up and said to the two, "Sit down and rest." ”

The two brothers and sisters thanked each other in unison. When the old man of the senior brother asked the junior sister to sit down, he did not sit and protected the younger sister's side.

Seeing this, the man said in his heart: "These two people have kung fu, they are not ordinary people, and they are too cautious to be senior brothers." "But this is someone else's business, it has nothing to do with me, and I don't pay attention to it anymore.

At this time, the shopkeeper came back, full of apologies, and said: "I'm really sorry, no one wants to let me, or the two of you go to the nearby people to ask, give more money, maybe you can get a place to live." ”

When the girl heard that she could not stay here, she immediately stood up and said, "Hard work."

"Look at your senior brother.

I only heard the old man say: "Let's live in the firewood room, we are in a hurry, we didn't bring a lot of silver taels, if we don't save it, we won't even be able to eat in the future." His face turned red, and he was ashamed. A penny is hard to beat a hero, that's the case.

The shopkeeper sighed: "The two guest officers, at this time they have begun to store firewood and grass, the firewood room has long been full, not to mention one person, half a person can't enter, take advantage of the fact that the sky is not dark, hurry up and ask elsewhere, if it is a little later, everyone is asleep, and it will be impossible to find it." ”

The two brothers and sisters smiled bitterly at each other, at a loss, not knowing whether to go out or not.

At this time, the middle-aged man smiled and said: "Two, when you go out, it is inevitable that there will be times when things don't go well, if you don't mind, the two of you will use these silver." As he spoke, he took out a few silver taels and spread them out in the palm of his hand.

The old man looked at the girl, as if to ask what she meant.

The girl whispered, "How embarrassing is this." Reaching out, he pushed forward, wanting to refuse.

The man smiled: "As the saying goes, when you go out by friends, money is something outside the body, not an important thing, and it is the greatest use to solve people's difficulties. As he spoke, without waiting for the two to refuse, he shoved the silver into the old man's hand. After all, there is a difference between men and women, the man and the girl meet in Pingshui, if you directly stuff the silver into the girl's hand, most of them are to touch it with both hands, although the people in the rivers and lakes are not informal, but look at the girl is restrained and shy, it is better to be free.

The old man saw that the other party was open-minded, his eyes were clear, and he was really helpful, and if he wanted to shirk it, he would be stingy and narrow-minded, so he arched his hand and said: "Brother is generous, Fan Yiweng has thanked him." ”

When the girl saw that her brother should go down, she was embarrassed, although she was still messing up, she also thanked her, saluted, and couldn't help but take a few more looks, to remember the appearance of the benefactor, and it was good that she would meet her in the future, and she had the opportunity to repay her, but she didn't know her name.

The man smiled: "Brother Fan is polite, my surname is Zhao, and my single name is Chang." There is a fate to meet, and it is easy to do it, and the two of them don't have to be so polite. At this moment, the man brought over the steamed buns, beef and wine. Zhao Chang took it, arched his hand, didn't linger any longer, and turned to leave.

The middle-aged man is none other than Zhao Chang. Zhao Chang traveled to the Central Plains with Long and Yang, and it has been more than a year now. Today, the three of them and the Condor came to the Yellow River and sailed north, intending to return to the Western Regions. In order not to cause a commotion, Long, Yang Guo and the Condor rested in the forest outside the town, and Zhao Chang came to the inn to buy dry food. The internal cultivation of their group is not low, and it is not a problem to spend a night in the wild, but it will be beneficial to practice because of the cold luck.

After Zhao Chang left, he only heard the girl sigh: "Senior brother, we are also lucky, we met a kind person, otherwise I really don't know how to get silver." ”

Fan Yiweng nodded: "Senior sister, good people are rare, we are lucky to meet this Brother Zhao, you can meet others in the future, you can't be gullible." The junior sister in Fan Yiweng's mouth is naturally his master, the ruthless valley master, the daughter of Gongsun Zhi, and Gongsun Lucalyx.

Gongsun Lucalyx has never been out of the Valley of Despair, like a blank piece of paper, and he doesn't know anything about the sinister outside the world. Before Fan Yiweng entered the Valley of Despair, he had walked on the rivers and lakes and had a lot of experience, so he should mention his junior sister all the time, and don't suffer a loss.

Gongsun Lucao nodded, tightened his cloak, and followed Fan Yiweng out of the inn, and then went to find a place to live.

However, in times of chaos, how many people dare to lend a hand easily.

Fan Yiweng and Gongsun Lucao knocked on the door along the road, asked along the road, were rejected along the road, and unconsciously walked outside the town.

Gongsun Lucao was kind-hearted, but he didn't expect the people outside the valley to be so indifferent, he couldn't help but be depressed, and his heart was even more dazed, and he didn't know what to do.

Fan Yiweng comforted: "Senior sister, the matter has come to this, it's useless to be anxious, fortunately, it's not winter yet, it's not difficult, the fire is roasting, and you can make a living, it's just uncomfortable." ”

Gongsun Lucao sighed: "What else do you want to be comfortable, it's enough to have a life, it's better than that" He sighed for a long time, and his eyes were full of tears.

Fan Yiweng said softly: "Senior sister, the gentleman takes revenge, ten years is not too late, let's wait for the future." Quickly wipe away your tears, it's cold weather, frostbite and your face is uncomfortable. ”

Gongsun Lucao nodded, quickly wiped his tears, and when he looked up, he suddenly saw a fire flashing in the forest, and stretched out his hand and said, "Senior brother, there are people there." ”

Fan Yiweng looked in the direction of Gongsun Lucalyx's fingers, and just saw a figure swaying in the firelight. He listened attentively, felt that the voice of the person who spoke was quite familiar, and his heart moved, and said, "Oh, it's that Brother Zhao, it turns out that he has no place to live." ”

Gongsun Lucao remembered Zhao Chang's kindness and said: "He is a good person, let's go find him, and take care of each other." ”

Fan Yiweng thought to himself that he and Lu Calyx were helpless, and it would be good to know more friends, so he agreed: "Okay, let's go over, just have a friendship with Dolala, and it's good to inquire about the current world." ”

How could Gongsun Lucao and Fan Yiweng leave the Valley of Despair and walk outside? It all started two years ago.

At that time, Li Mochou fought with Long Yi, was seriously injured, and was about to be beheaded by Long Yijian, and died on the spot. Unexpectedly, Wu Santong suddenly went crazy and fooled around, giving her the time to escape for her life.

However, Wu Santong went crazy

It's not that I'm crazy, but I saw Li Mochou, remembered the tragic death of my wife back then, and was so angry that I wanted to kill Li Mochou with my own hands to avenge my blood, and I didn't want to fake it to others. On the same day, Wu Santong was stopped by Ouyang Feng, and seeing Li Mochou fleeing, he didn't stop much, turned around and chased Li Mochou.

Li Mochou and the apprentice Hong Lingbo fled all the way, and in order to distract Wu Santong's attention, they walked separately after a short time. She originally intended to lead the water to the east, thinking that Wu Santong was delirious, and maybe he would chase Hong Lingbo away, so as to let himself go. How did she know that when Lujiazhuang was destroyed, Wu Santong had never seen Hong Lingbo at all, and only remembered the Red Refining Fairy, and he was still chasing after him.

Li Mochou regretted that he had lost his help, so he could only grit his teeth and flee for his life. If in normal times, she doesn't take Wu Santong as a crazy man in her eyes, although she can't raise her hand to kill with one blow, but after a few rounds of fighting, it is still easy to launch the Ice Spirit Silver Needle to kill Wu Santong. However, she was beaten by the dragon and was full of injuries, she was discouraged, she had no fighting spirit, and she was unwilling to fight with others, so she only escaped without fighting with the top light skills of the ancient tomb. However, after a long time, Li Mochou was a little unable to support it, on the other hand, Wu Santong had to chase hard at the beginning, but his strength was long, and he accumulated steadily, and the more he chased, the more energetic he became, and he was about to catch up.

Li Mochou was secretly shocked: "I didn't expect this madman to improve his skills so much, and I will suffer a big loss if I work hard at this time." "The light work did not stop, through the forest and over the mountains, and broke into the Valley of Despair in a panic, and was rescued by Gongsun Zhi by mistake.

Because of his arrogant attitude and perverse behavior, Wu Santong was regarded as an invading person by the people in the Heartless Valley, and the two sides immediately started to fight. The disciples of the Desperate Valley surrounded Wu Santong with a proud fishing net array, forced him into the Love Flower Pass, and then captured the person.

The enemy was gone, Li Mochou's heart was relieved, his eyes were dark, and he fainted on the spot.

Gongsun Zhi has been pure and has few desires for many years, and at first glance saw that although Li Mochou was dressed as a Taoist aunt, he had a gorgeous appearance, and he had never seen it in his life. However, he also knew that Dao Gu valued innocence, and if he didn't use extraordinary means, Li Mochou would definitely not follow himself, secretly plot, put his heart sideways, and have a plan.

When Li Mochou was faint, Gongsun added Li Mochou's acupuncture points, making him temporarily unconscious and never waking up, and then, he grabbed the love flower and sprinkled it on Li Mochou's body, so that countless spikes pierced Li Mochou's body, making the love flower in his body highly poisonous. After Li Mochou woke up, Gongsun Zhi lied that Li Mochou was physically exhausted and fainted on the ground that day, and happened to fall into the love flowers. The people in the valley were dealing with Wu Santong, and they didn't notice it for a while, and it was too late to realize it.

Li Mochou was in a daze that day, confused, and believed it like this.

As for the love flower antidote, it happened to be stolen by the old naughty boy at that time, so there is no need to lie, but you can tell the truth. However, Gongsun Zhi has never been out of the Valley of Despair, and he doesn't know who the old naughty boy Zhou Botong is, but he is a crazy old man.

Li Mochou has been walking the rivers and lakes for many years, and he is well-informed, and he corresponded to the person Gongsun Zhi said with the characters in his mind one by one, and guessed Zhou Botong's identity. However, the relationship between her and the Quanzhen Sect is not small, and if she wants to ask for an antidote from the ancestor of others, wouldn't she take the initiative to send her life up, and with a change of heart, she decided to use Gongsun Zhi to get back the antidote or coax Gongsun Zhi to find or configure the antidote for herself.

Li Mochou is not a fool, his ability to observe words and emotions is not low, and he can naturally see that Gongsun Zhi is greedy for his beauty.

Li Mochou is from the ancient tomb faction, and his ability to suppress the seven emotions and six desires is not small, and the attack of love flower poison is very rare, only twice. Gongsun Zhi didn't know that Li Mochou's heart belonged, and thought that the attack of love flower poison was caused by himself, and he was diligent and prepared, but he didn't tell Li Mochou that as long as it was more than twelve hours, even if he ate the Desperate Pill, the love flower poison could not be cured, so he secretly left a hand.

It turned out that Gongsun Zhi kept asking but couldn't, and there were waves in his heart again. He thought that he had lived in the valley for many years, and he didn't know how many good women he had missed, so he might as well take this opportunity to go out of the valley and live happily for the rest of his life. It's just that when he thought of his original wife, Qiu Qianchi, he couldn't help but compare Qiu Qianqi with Li Mochou's appearance, and finally thought that Li Mochou could be regarded as the first beauty.

The two of them had their own thoughts, and they didn't say anything, and they got along with each other as if they were leaving the ground.

Being in the Valley of Desperation, if you don't have the Desperation Pill, it's a dead end. How precious the Ruthless Pill is, Gongsun Zhi can't help but take it back, yes, in the name of running around and working hard for Li Mochou, he sent his disciples out of the valley to find Zhou Botong's figure, and finally found it outside Xiangyang City. It was at that time that the Valley of Despair and Mongolia were linked. Gongsun Zhi was not familiar with the outside world, and after discussing with Jinlun Guoshi and others, he borrowed Mongolia with a knife and fishnet array to capture Guo Jing, and on the contrary, asked Guoshi and others to try to recover the items stolen by Zhou Botong, so there was a matter of exchanging Wu Santong for pills.

However, neither side expected that the Tomb Golden Bell Soft Rope Kung Fu and the Golden Silk Glove were the nemesis of the fishing net array with knives. On the battlefield, the disciples of the Desperate Valley were repelled by Yang Guo before they could get close to Guo Jing, and they were not of the slightest use. It's just that they are isolated, closed-minded, and arrogant.

After the Ruthless Pill returned to the valley, Gongsun Zhi was not as cautious as before, and he was fearless, and Li Mochou discovered the traces. However, his life is in the hands of others, and he has to obey, Li Mochou can only try his best to cater to it. She only loves Lu Zhanyuan in her heart, where can she easily accept Gongsun Zhi, so she is vain and wronged, constantly delaying time, waiting for the opportunity to steal the antidote.

In this way, Li Mochou and Gongsun Zhi went from not breaking each other to secretly fighting, until Huang Yaoshi, Zhou Botong and others went to the Valley of Desperation to obtain the Desperation Pill.
