Let's say that Zhang Xuanmeng went down to Songshan, came to a bazaar, bought a healthy horse for riding, and thought that many people would recognize him in Shao* Many days, so he bought a low-brimmed straw hat and put it on his head, covering most of his face.

After walking for a long time, dozens of miles away from Shaolin, I came to the market town where I met the mystery that day, and I thought of the mystery of protecting each other, and my heart was hot, so I wanted to enter the hotel again and sit down.

Suddenly, he caught a glimpse of two people coming, very familiar, and lowered his head sharply. After thinking about it carefully, the two seemed to have seen it in Wudang Mountain, as if they were Taoist priests in Wudang, but they changed their decorations and dressed up as laymen, and said strangely: "How come there are Taoist priests from Wudang here?

Since the beginning of the valley, there have been major events, and until this time, Zhang Xuanmeng had to be idle. Counting the time since I broke up with Zhu Kexin, it has been more than seven years, and when I think of Zhu Kexin, what comes to mind is still the appearance of a child that day, with a round face, big eyes, and long eyelashes. Thinking of Ouyang Yuxin's infatuation and kindness to him, he was sorry in his heart.

All the way to the west, but also free. After walking for a month and a half, Fang came to the land of Sichuan and Shu, and the customs and customs were very different from those of the Central Plains, but the Sichuan dialect was not difficult to understand.

On this day, I drove a hundred and ten miles of road, but I didn't see anyone before and after, and a round of red sun was already thin, so I urged the horse to hurry up, and I wanted to find a place to sharpen. After a while, I saw a small sprinkler shop on the side of the road in front of me, and a small red pennant was held high on the store, waving in the wind, and the flag was written with a big wine word. I was overjoyed and rode over.

Before arriving at the store, the second child in the store had already heard the sound and ran out, and greeted: "This guest officer, do you want to stay and eat?" Zhang Xuanmeng nodded, handed the horse to Xiao Er, and said, "Little second brother, how far is there an inn in front of here?"

The little second brother said: "Alas, I said that this guest officer, there is no market town in front of him, where is the inn." We only have a few families living in the mountains behind us, and there is no place for you to live. If you don't think my store is small, you can be wronged here for one night, and three dollars of silver will be enough. ”

Zhang Xuanmeng listened to the joy in his heart, a big inn does not need three dollars of silver to stay overnight, this store will do business, but there is no inn nearby, it is already dark, so he has to let him, said: "Okay, little second brother, that's it." "Walk in.

There were no customers in the shop, just two guys, and the shop had three thatched houses. He sat at a small table, asked the man to serve a side dish, three steamed buns, and ate slowly.

After a while, I heard the sound of horses' hooves in the distance, and soon when I came to the door of the shop, I suddenly stopped, and three people jumped from the horses.

Xiao Erxi said: "Why is the business so good today, and there are three more guest officers." He went out and greeted: "Three guest officers, do you want to eat and rest?" It's already dark, and there is no inn near and far, if the three don't think this shop is small, they will be wronged for one night, and each person only has three coins of silver, which is very cost-effective. ”

Zhang Xuanmeng heard him say this again, and secretly laughed, the three coins of silver were also said to be very cheap, isn't this Mingzairen.

One said: "Okay, Xiao Er, if you take care of it well, it won't be much to give you three taels of silver, and the horse will be led to feed it." "The voice is Central Plains accent.

Zhang Xuanmeng was stunned, and saw that these people were skillful, and they were obviously martial artists, so he turned sideways and sat facing in.

The three of them entered the store, Zhang Xuanmeng peeked at it, and suddenly his heart was shocked, where has this person seen it, such a familiar look. The three looked at Zhang Xuanmeng, gave him a look, and sat down at another table.

The figure seemed to be an acquaintance, sitting facing Zhang Xuanmeng. Zhang Xuanmeng took a sideways look, and saw that this person was not young, his voice was hoarse, but his face was terrifying, like a dead man's face on his face, expressionless, and he really didn't recognize it.

I heard one person whisper: "We have inquired for many days, but there is no trace of this person, I don't know what about the other brothers?"

One said: "This person has a good skill, we must be careful." This mountain road is where he must pass, look for it slowly, he can always find it, and the old man's news will not be wrong. ”

At this time, Xiao Er came up and said, "Three guest officers, do you want to drink?"

One said: "First serve a pot." Xiao Er, let me ask you, have you seen a person in his sixties dressed as Hanako in the past few days?"

Xiao Er smiled and said: "This master, a person like a flower, the little one has never seen it, even if there is a person called Huazi passing by, he will not enter our store." ”

The hoarse man snorted, "Mouthy." ”

Seeing that his face was terrifying, Xiao Er stuck out his tongue and responded, "Yes, the little one has a lot of mouth." "Serve yourself.

The three of them stopped making a sound, and only drank in silence.

After Zhang Xuanmeng finished eating, Xiao Er took him to an empty room in the back to rest. Although this room is small, it has two or three beds, and I think people often stay here. When the three men had finished eating, they went to another room and stayed there.

It's sparsely populated and surrounded by mountains. At night, there was silence, and the chickens and dogs did not smell it. In the middle of the night, Zhang Xuanmeng was sleeping, when he suddenly heard the sound of horses' hooves, which broke through the quiet night, and the hooves were hurried, and stopped abruptly in front of the store.

I heard the man on the horse dismount, and he slapped the door panel vigorously with his hand and shouted, "The shop is open." One said, "Hey, why are there four horses here?"

Xiao Er was confused, got up and opened the door and said, "Yo, a few guest officers, why do you come to our store in the middle of the night to stay? Our store is already full of people, and if you want to stay in the hotel, you will have to pay one or two taels of silver each." ”

One grabbed Xiao Er's chest and said, "Boy, looking for death, you dare to ask us for money." Lao Tzu asked you, have you seen a man in his sixties named Hanako recently? ”

Xiao Er shouted: "Ouch, uncle, you are light, why are you looking for an old flower again, what kind of big crime did that old flower commit." At this time, suddenly the hoarse man said, "Let go, don't disturb others." ”

When the man heard this, he immediately replied respectfully, "Yes, it turns out that you are here all the time." A few people walked into the next room to talk. Zhang Xuanmeng vaguely heard what several people were talking about, and he was still looking for an old man named Huazi. My heart was full of doubts, who was that old man, who were they, and why were they looking for him? Obviously, the people didn't want him to hear it, and kept their voices as low as possible.

After a while, Xiao Er brought two big men in and said: "This guest officer, there are a few more guests in our store, the store is too small, so I have to live in the same room with you, please don't be surprised, tomorrow we will charge you less than a penny." ”

Zhang Xuanmeng didn't want to cause trouble, nodded, turned over and continued to sleep. Those people were also in order, stopped making a sound, and stripped to bed. Before dawn, several people got on their horses and left.

Zhang Xuanmeng got up early the next morning, asked Xiao Er about the road to Mount Emei, and got on the horse. He walked for three days in a row, and at noon on this day, he saw a big mountain digging up from the ground in front of him, standing tall and piercing the sky. Zhang Xuanmeng knew that he had arrived at the foot of Mount Emei, and thought that he might find Zhu Kexin on this mountain, so his heart was moved and he urged the horse to hurry.
