Zhang Jingfeng stepped into the secret passage first, and everyone entered, Gong Jingyan stretched out his hand to help Zhang Jingfeng, but he shook his head and gently pushed away.

We lit torches and walked along the secret passage, and the faces of those who had never entered the secret passage were full of curiosity, and Yao Mudie and I were no longer surprised.

After arriving at the sentry post, Gong Jingyan picked up the hammer and struck the bronze bell three times without saying a word, each time about three seconds apart.

Li Shengjie opened the door, he first saluted Gong Jingyan, and then greeted Zhang Jingfeng with a look of surprise, and finally couldn't help but widen his eyes in surprise when he saw the long line behind him.

"Tianxiang Gate is in difficulty, this seat makes an exception to bring people in, and the secret passage will no longer exist from now on." Zhang Jingfeng explained to Li Shengjie and Wang Xuehao, "You two can leave this place for a few more days, and everything I promised you will be fulfilled at that time." ”

"Thank you, sir." Li Shengjie and Wang Xuehao were overjoyed and thanked them.

Zhang Jingfeng didn't say anything more, led everyone through the sentry post to the other side, and then walked straight down the mountain, Li Shengjie and the others immediately closed the door after passing.

After coming out of the secret passage, Zhang Jingfeng came to the gate of the courtyard without stopping and turned over his horse, and when everyone summoned their mounts, he led us to gallop to the southeast.

We galloped on the mountain road for about 20 minutes, and came to a mountain col, in which sat a mansion, a hundred times larger than the previous secret base, and I approached and took a closer look, and there was a huge plaque hanging above the gate, with four large characters written "Autumn Villa".

"This place is like a stronghold." I Mi Yao Mudie said, "I guess there should be a lot of masters in it." ”

"The only remaining strength of the head of the Tianxiang Sect is gathered here, and it depends on them whether they can turn the tables around." Yao Mudie replied.

As soon as we approached the gate, someone inside opened the door, Zhang Qiaoshan rushed out first, ran to Zhang Jingfeng in a few arrows and hugged him, and said in a loud voice: "Dad, are you okay?" We're all so worried about you. ”

"Don't worry, girl, I'm fine." Zhang Jingfeng said lovingly.

"Well, it's okay." Zhang Qiaoshan let go of Zhang Jingfeng and said with tears in her eyes.

After Zhang Qiaoshan calmed down, she greeted the others one by one, and everyone returned the salute.

When Zhang Qiaoshan's gaze fell on me, she couldn't help but be stunned, hesitated for a moment and asked, "Are you...... Mentally retarded masters? ”

"Hehe, it's the poor monk, you can't recognize me when I take off my monk's robe, right?" I laughed.

Zhang Qiaoshan looked at Zhang Jingfeng suspiciously, Zhang Jingfeng smiled and said: "This is the leader of the Evil Tiger Gang, it was he who went deep into the tiger's den to rescue us from the dungeon." ”

"I really don't know Tarzan." Zhang Qiaoshan suddenly realized, and then turned her gaze to me and said sincerely: "The little girl was disrespectful to the master before, no, to the helper, and I hope to forgive me." ”

"It's easy to say, it's easy to say." I smiled generously.

"Qiao Shan, hurry up and take the Tianxiang Life Renewal Pill to the master, I'm afraid it's too late." Gong Jingyan urged on the side, "The previous head of the sect suffered internal injuries, and only this sect's holy medicine can be treated. ”

"Ah...... Dad, you still say you're okay? Zhang Qiaoshan hurriedly said, "I'll go get the medicine." ”

"Your Uncle Gong has spent his internal strength to protect my heart, and I can't die for the time being." Zhang Jingfeng said lightly.

"No wonder Uncle Shi, your face is not good, it turned out that you hurt your vitality to save my father." Zhang Qiaoshan said, "I'll get you a few Da Huan Dan to recover." With that, she turned and ran inside.

Zhang Jingfeng led the crowd into the courtyard and came to the hall, the leaders were seated separately, and the others, including the people left behind in the village, were all gathered in the hall and the courtyard to stand by.

After about 5 minutes, Zhang Qiaoshan returned to the hall with the Tianxiang Life Continuation Pill and the Great Returning Pill, she casually handed the small yellow porcelain bottle containing the Great Returning Pill to Gong Jingyan, and then solemnly handed a small light blue porcelain bottle to Zhang Jingfeng.

Zhang Jingfeng took the bottle, opened the cap and poured the Tianxiang Life Renewal Pill inside into his palm, the big red pill shook back and forth in his palm a few times, he took a deep breath, raised his hand and put the pill in his mouth and swallowed it.

"Jing Yan, you come with me, let's go to the inner room to practice the power of the medicine." Zhang Jingfeng said, "Qiao Shan, I'll leave it to you and the Sharp Gang Leader here." ”

"Don't worry, Dad." "Don't worry, sir." Zhang Qiaoshan and I said in unison.

After seeing the backs of Zhang Jingfeng and Gong Jingyan enter the inner hall, Zhang Qiaoshan breathed a sigh of relief, she smiled at me, but did not speak.

There was silence and peace inside and outside the hall, no one was making noise, and everyone had their own concerns due to the uncertainty of the future.

"Uncle Sharp, can you take a break with me?" Dou Ko suddenly said to me, "I want to take you to meet someone." ”

"Who do you want to take me to?" I asked.

"Go see my dad." Dou Ko replied, "I want you to convince him to make a move." ”

"This is your Tianxiangmen's business, how can I, an outsider, convince him?" I asked, puzzled.

"It's because you're an outsider that you're easy to talk to." Dou Ko said, "He withdrew from the rivers and lakes after falling out with Tianxiangmen. ”

"In that case, he will not help, and it will be useless for me to go." I refused.

"My father once made an oath that he would never say a word to the people of Tianxiangmen in this life, so there is no one else to persuade him except you, and if you go, you can at least talk." Dou Ko explained.

"You mean a dead horse as a live horse doctor?" I smiled wryly.

"It's not a good thing to say, but that's the truth." Dou Ko said helplessly.

"Let's go, you lead the way." I agreed, and then whispered in Yao Mudie's ear: "I'll go with Dou Ko to do something, and I'll come when I go." ”

Yao Mudie looked at me, then at Dou Ko, and said disdainfully: "You won't let go of such a young girl?" Or at this juncture. ”

"Where do you want to go?" I quickly argued, "She wants to take me to her father." ”

"Yo, you're seeing your parents so soon?" Yao Mudie teased.

"Hehe, her father is a master, if we can persuade him to come to help, our chances of winning will be greatly increased." I laughed, and then took three steps and two steps to catch up with Dou Ko, who was waiting for me at the door of the hall.

"Uncle Sharp, is that Miss Yao your friend?" Dou Ko asked.

"Not yet, but it will be in the future." I replied.

"Then I wish Uncle Sharp a success." Dou Ko covered his mouth and smiled.

"The little ones are nosy, lead the way quickly, and it's best to be able to rush back before the head recovers." I said.

"Hmph." Dou Ko quickened his pace in displeasure.

We went out of the gate of Autumn Lodge, rode on horseback and galloped west for 10 minutes, and came to a very remote foothill, with a small farmhouse clinging to the steep mountain, and some vegetables were grown on the slope in front of the door.

We dismounted, and came down a winding path to the farmhouse, where a man was sitting in the doorway repairing his hoe, and he looked up when he heard footsteps.

The man looked to be in his mid-40s, with a dark complexion, glowing eyes, and a scar the thickness of chopsticks more than half a foot long, extending diagonally from the left corner of his forehead through the right side of his eyebrows and the bridge of his nose to his right cheek, causing his entire face to be distorted.

I was really taken aback by this person's appearance, and involuntarily took half a step back, and Dou Ko saw my horror, and hurriedly reached out and gently grabbed my arm to comfort me.

"Dad, this uncle is Brother Sharp, the leader of the Evil Tiger Gang." Dou Ko introduced.

"Oh." Dou Tianqi agreed expressionlessly, and then lowered his head and picked up his hoe.

"Uncle Sharp, this is my father." Dou Ko said to me awkwardly.

"I have heard the prestige of Dou Daxia for a long time." I clenched my fists and laughed.

"I have been out of the rivers and lakes for many years, what prestige can I have?" Dou Tianqi said lightly, his face still stiff as before.

I was speechless for a while, so I had to look at Dou Ko for help, Dou Ko cleared his throat and said, "Dad, if there is a problem in Xiangmen today, can you bear to stand by?" I went to see my grandfather, and although he couldn't leave the Wanhuayuan, he entrusted Uncle Sharp to support Tianxiangmen for him. ”

"How is your grandfather?" Dou Tianqi raised his eyes and asked, I saw the warmth in his gaze.

"Well, grandpa, he's fine." Dou Ko replied, "He also taught me a set of light skills." ”

Dou Tianqi showed a relieved expression, and then lowered his head again.

"Ling Zun's heart is tied to Tianxiangmen, and he specially orders Aihe to come down to persuade Your Excellency to help." I said it openly.

Dou Ko glanced at me, but instead of exposing my lies, he echoed: "Yes, grandpa told us to ask our father to help." ”

Dou Tianqi fell silent when he heard this, did not raise his head for a long time, and at the same time stopped the work in his hands.

"Daddy......" Dou Ko shouted softly, "Although Grandpa has been in retreat for many years, he still remembers the Tianxiang Gate in his heart, don't you miss the old feelings at all at this critical juncture?" ”

"Old love? I have long been divorced from Tianxiangmen. Dou Tianqi said, with a hint of desolation in his words.

"The scar on my father's face was left when he competed with Tianxiangmen." Dou Komi said to me, "At that time, my grandfather had just retreated, and some people were talking behind his back, and he was quite disrespectful to his grandfather. ”

"I see." I replied, "If I change, I will definitely not share the sky with Tianxiangmen, let alone help, I will still fall into the ground." ”

Dou Ko smiled bitterly, unable to refute.

"Dou Daxia, no matter what you have with Tianxiangmen, don't you listen to Ling Zun's words?" I asked.

"It's useless for you to use my father's words to squeeze me." Dou Tianqi shook his head and said, "I once swore with the life of a family that I would never have anything to do with Tianxiangmen again. ”

"I learned from Ling Ai that Your Excellency swore not to say a word to the people of Tianxiangmen, but this is not a difficult matter, I can be an intermediary to pass the word for you." I said, "What's more, if you go to help, you must say more than just a word." ”

"Isn't that self-deception?" Dou Tianqi said disdainfully, "Forget it, you don't have to persuade me anymore, I will never agree." ”

I was speechless again, and turned my head to look at Dou Ko, who was also helpless.
