Chapter 187: Live to Learn
I thought that the relocation of the whole clan would have a big goal, and there would be many twists and turns along the way, but I didn't expect it to be surprisingly smooth.
A small group of bandits didn't dare to come to the door at all, as for the large group - no matter how downtrodden the Tuoba clan is, it is also a tribe, the rotten ship still has three nails, and more than 100 young and strong combat power can still be pulled out, besides, Zhang Lie has walked the rivers and lakes for many years, and his friends are all over the world, and he has a bit of prestige.
Therefore, most of Helan Wu's manpower focuses on the prefectures and counties along the way, after all, the Sui army will not give you face.
Instead, when passing by a dilapidated village, he summoned a small group of dried corpses.
These things that only follow instinct don't care if you are too many or small, but fortunately, the combat power is really limited, and as long as ordinary people overcome the fear in their hearts, even adult men can easily settle them.
But this also strengthened Zhang Lie's determination to learn the Taoism of Guigu, so after settling down with the Tuoba tribe, Zhang Lie took Su Ming and He Lanming to leave the tribe again and went to Xia Leize to apprentice, and even his wife couldn't take care of him.
However, Xia Lei Ze is located in the south of Black Mountain Town hundreds of miles away, Hetao and then to Xia Lei Ze, which is equivalent to returning to Dayanling and then nearly a thousand miles to the south, this journey made Su Ming's head dizzy, because of the day and night rush to travel, every day he dreamed that he was riding a horse, grass, mountains, rivers brushed in front of him over and over again, making him haggard.
"Third brother, where does this Gongshan senior live in Xia Raize?" Zhang Lie said that Gongshan Tie was injured and recuperated in seclusion in Xia Leize, so how hidden would he have to live? You must know that this area of Chareser is not small at all.
"Soon, I have the map marked by Brother Chen, don't worry!" Zhang Lie is also a little lacking in confidence, but he is still holding on.
"If you want me to say that the place where Gongshan's predecessors live in seclusion, it won't be some invisible formation, right? Otherwise, how could you not find anyone? The three of them have been in the Xia Leze area for five days, but except for some simple thatched huts built by fishermen along the water, they can't find any buildings that can live in them.
"Someone!" Su Ming screamed, startling the two of them.
"What's the use of someone, the fishermen I have met in the past few days have also asked a lot, and none of them have heard of the name of Gongshan Tie." Helan Ming was still muttering.
"Amin!" Zhang Lie stopped He Lanming's complaints, and said, "What I often teach you, as long as there is a slight possibility, you can't give up!"
"Have you forgotten?"
He Lanming didn't dare to speak anymore, so Zhang Lie caught up with Su Ming in a few steps and walked towards the old fisherman who was fishing by the water not far away.
The more the two walked, the more excited they became.
With the help of the mage's heart, the details of the old fisherman were clearly seen by Su Ming.
The energy in his body is somewhat similar to the internal strength of a martial arts master like Zhang Lie, and at the same time, there is another kind of xenomorphic energy that Su Ming has never seen, perhaps it is the energy system of Taoism.
Zhang Lie also relied on the instinct of a martial artist, and keenly noticed the special feature of this old fisherman, this old man's qi and blood were even more vigorous than himself!
Gongshan Iron! Who else but him?
"Senior..."
"Gongshan senior!"
"Who are you looking for?" The old man turned his head and took off his hat, revealing an old face.
Although the face is old, it is radiant and not angry.
"Junior, Zhang Lie, meet the seniors of Gongshan!"
"Junior, Zhao Si, meet Gongshan senior!"
"Wait, and me! Junior, Helanming, meet the seniors of Gongshan! He Lanming also ran forward in a panic.
"You recognize the wrong person, I'm not Gongshan Tie!"
I am most afraid of the sudden silence of the air.
… Embarrassed, Su Ming couldn't wait to find a hole to get into.
Zhang Lie was also a little embarrassed, but his posture of bending over and clenching his fists remained unchanged, and he still said respectfully: "This... Please also let the seniors know, where is the seniors of Gongshan? ”
"The seniors can call out the full names of the seniors of Gongshan, which shows that the two seniors know each other!" As if he had guessed Su Ming's doubts, Zhang Lie calmly explained: "Just now, we didn't mention the name of Gongshan's seniors!"
"Good observation, but unfortunately it's useless!" The old man glanced at Zhang Lie indifferently, and his mood did not fluctuate, "Gongshan Tie has passed away!" ”
"What!" Zhang Lie and the others were all shocked, and they were full of energy to come to the Taoist master to apprentice, but the other party died of illness? This is a master!
"Who are you?" When the old man saw the appearance of a few people who were mourning, he couldn't help but say more.
"My eldest brother is here to apprentice." Seeing that Zhang Lie and He Lanming were already in a trance, Su Ming had no choice but to answer on his behalf.
The expectations of these two people were too high, and it seemed that they couldn't stand the blow all of a sudden.
"Then you guys are too late, Brother Gongshan has been dead for more than a month!" The old man's mood finally had some ups and downs, "It seems that you ran for nothing!" ”
"Can the senior take me to Gongshan's senior's house to see his family?" Fortunately, Zhang Lie only came back to his senses after a few seconds in a trance, and explained: "I can't hide it, Gongshan's predecessor is the uncle of one of my little brothers, and now I can't apprentice, I want to go to see the family of Gongshan's predecessor for him, and by the way, I put incense on the pillar in front of the grave of Gongshan's predecessor, and I made a wish."
"Come with me!" The old man put away the fishing rod and left the water's edge slowly, and the three of them hurriedly followed.
The old man was half-arched on his back, his back looked like an old dragon clock, and his feet were one step deeper and one step shallow, but he was not slow at all, obviously exceeding the walking speed of ordinary adult men, and he seemed to be a tall man.
"I don't know what the seniors call them?" Su Ming was really curious in his heart, and couldn't help but catch up with the first two steps and asked.
"Old man Yang Yichen." The old man spoke, his feet did not stop, and his breathing was not chaotic.
"Yang Yichen!" Zhang Lie exclaimed: "But Yang Yichen, who broke the Turks, leveled Yang Liang, defeated Zhang Jincheng, destroyed Gao Shida, captured Geqian, and went to the Ministry of Rites to be the secretary, and then resigned and went into hiding?"
"The past is not worth mentioning." The old man, or Yang Yichen, paused, and his speed increased instead of decreasing.
Seeing Yang Yichen's cold attitude, several people didn't say much in interest, and followed him away from the water's edge, through a small forest at the foot of the mountain, and came to a small valley.
An abandoned farmhouse courtyard with a gravel tomb next to the yard.
"After Brother Gongshan died of illness, his wife left here with her granddaughter and went to Daliang, only I occasionally turned around to have a look." After a few people respectfully worshiped Gongshan Tie, Yang Yichen's attitude finally improved, "Is the little brother you said surnamed Chen?" Chen Fu's disciple? ”
"Exactly!" Zhang Lie was overjoyed: "Seniors have seen them?"
"I just came here more than half a month ago." Yang Yichen looked Zhang Lie, who had just kowtowed, up and down, and asked curiously: "I see that your kung fu is extremely profound, which is rare in the world, and you are not young, why do you still want to apprentice?"
