Chapter 401: The Beginning of the Long Journey

A group of five people, in addition to the master and apprentice of Taiye and Xiao Laodao, there are also two strong men, tall and sturdy, some fist and foot kung fu, and they are all twenty-four or five years old, a few years younger than the master. The draft is free to revise again, in fact, the last few chapters are drafts, and yesterday I just went through the revisions of the previous days.

Xiao Laodao didn't let them use their real names, one of them changed his name to Xiao Twelve, and the other changed his name to Xiao Thirteen, calling Xiao Laodao "Master", calling my grandfather "Ten Senior Brothers", and Xiao Eleven "Eleventh Senior Brothers".

At this time, Xiao Shiyi was already an adult, eighteen or nineteen years old, his physical development was basically mature, except for being thin, his height was about the same as that of his grandfather, and there was only a little childishness left, but at this time he could not see it on his face at all.

A few people walked north along Wuling Mountain for more than half a month, and Xiao Laodao greeted them and stopped at the foot of a mountain.

At the foot of this mountain, there is a temple, that is, a monk's temple, and Xiao Laodao actually knows the host inside.

That night, after a few people stayed in the temple, Xiao Laodao said to the grandfather that according to the report of the exploration horse, there is a big tomb in this mountain.

The next day, Xiao Laodao actually let the grandfather stay in the temple with Xiao 12 and Xiao 13, and he took Xiao 11 into the mountain himself, which made the master feel puzzled.

Before leaving, Xiao Laodao also specially instructed the grandfather to have a good relationship with Xiao 12 and Xiao 13, and to go to the tomb to explore treasures in the future, mutual trust is the most important thing, the grandfather nodded and agreed, but his heart was not too happy, he went to visit the tomb in the past, they all went together, why did he leave himself and those two people this time? Could it be that after more than two years of not seeing each other, Xiao Laodao has become estranged from himself?

Xiao Twelve and Xiao Thirteen, the grandfather doesn't know what their real names are, but they are all very honest and honest people, Xiao Twelve is a square face, looks very upright, has few words, and obeys Xiao Laodao; Xiao Shisan is a round face, always smiling, talking a lot but has no temper, and is especially good at catering to others, diligent hands and feet, almost all of the food, clothing, housing and transportation of several people along the way are handled by this smiling Xiao Shisan, and Xiao Laodao doesn't have to worry about it at all.

After Xiao Laodao left with Xiao Shiyi, the grandfather followed Xiao Laodao's instructions and had a good relationship with them. So, the grandfather took out two jars of wine from the baggage and called them to drink together, and the relationship between men is cultivated, and they generally drink, especially heroes like the grandfather, who have no friends if they don't drink.

Xiao Twelve didn't say much, let him drink, Xiao Thirteen was a little shirked, always looking for an excuse to drink less, which made the master a little unhappy, the more he wanted to drink, the more the master poured him, after pouring him into the way, he turned his head and praised the amount of wine that the master had, and asked about the past when the master slayed the dragon and swept away the Xiangma cottage.

As soon as the master was happy, he stopped pouring him, so he talked to the two of them, and when he was halfway through the talk, Xiao Twelve asked coldly: "What you said is true, and it is all what you have done?" ”

The master smiled: "I didn't tell you a single lie." ”

Xiao Twelve stood up suddenly, "What you said, I have long listened to the military advisor...... No, I've heard Master say it many times, hearing is false, seeing is believing. ”

At this time, the three of them drank a lot, and when the grandfather heard it, he asked, "How do you want to see is believing?" ”

Xiao Twelve said: "I have also practiced martial arts since I was a child, and I have seen a lot of masters, I have never heard of you being so powerful, let's go outside and compete." ”

When the master heard this, he laughed, "Okay, I heard Brother Xiao say that the two of them are extraordinary, and I have long wanted to learn from them." ”

When Xiao 13 heard this, he hurriedly persuaded him, "Two, two senior brothers, I think forget it, people who practice martial arts are the most taboo to compete better than to fight bravely, if you let the master know......" Before the words were finished, Xiao 13 looked at the master and said: "Senior brother Ten, you are a distinguished guest invited by the master, the master may not punish you, but will definitely punish the two of us." ”

The master said: "Don't worry, if Brother Xiao knows, let him punish me alone, let's go, let's all go to the courtyard." With that, the master got up the second and left the room.

Seeing this, Xiao Twelve also came out, Xiao Thirteen sighed and said, "You two compete, I won't compare......"

At this time, there was a novice in the yard who was using a broom, and the master took advantage of the wine to wave his hand to the little novice, "Don't sweep it yet, hide and wait." ”

Xiao Shami didn't understand what was going on, so he put his hands together and said, "The presiding officer ordered that the courtyard be cleaned." ”

When the master heard this, he glanced at Xiao Twelve and said, "Why don't we make a bet, whoever loses the competition will sweep the yard." ”

Xiao Twelve usually doesn't talk much, but now maybe because of the wine, he agreed, "Okay, I hope the gambler loses!" "Walked to the middle of the courtyard and pulled away.

Seeing this, the little novice who swept the floor seemed to understand what was going on, and hurriedly hid to the side with a broom, and the master walked over in a few steps, looked at Xiao Twelve, turned his face to Xiao Thirteen, who had just come out, and said, "Come on, you two go together." ”

Xiao Twelve suddenly snorted: "I can do it alone, I don't need his help." ”

The master smiled, "I usually don't talk much, but it's all in my heart, aren't you already convinced by me?" ”

"Needless to say, you'll see the real trick under your hands." As he spoke, Xiao Twelve struck preemptively and punched at the master.

As soon as the connoisseur made a move, he knew if there was any, and the master saw that this guy really had some ability, with neat footwork, calm punches, and was a master, and the master cautiously greeted him.

After a few face-to-face visits, Xiao Twelve actually fought a tie with the master, and he was very stable in one move, and the master secretly praised that not all of them were rabble, if this person was allowed to fight with the Japanese ronin, he was afraid that he would not lose.

At this time, Xiao Twelve shouted: "Senior brother, since it is a martial arts competition, take out some real kung fu, otherwise, I will not be convinced." ”

The master said: "There are no eyes in the fists and feet, I'm afraid that it will be difficult to explain to Brother Xiao if I hurt you, let's stop here." With that, the master dodged Xiao Twelve's kick, turned around and turned behind Xiao Twelve, and gently slapped Xiao Twelve's back.

Xiao Twelve was stunned for a moment, but quickly turned around and punched behind him, the master seemed to have expected it, and slashed at Xiao Twelve's fist with a swing, Xiao Twelve was stunned again, raised a leg, and kicked at the face bone of the master's calf.

The master didn't dodge or dodge, and kicked his calf up, Xiao Twelve's foot kicked firmly on the master's leg bone, Xiao Twelve's face showed shock, and he quickly stopped and hugged the master, "Admit defeat in the next place." ”

Xiao 13 next to him didn't seem to understand, and asked Xiao 12, "Why did you admit defeat?" ”

Xiao Twelve glanced at Xiao Thirteen, didn't say a word, walked under a tree in the yard, slapped on the tree, and the leaves suddenly fell, Xiao Twelve said: "Liu Daxia has shown mercy to his subordinates many times, otherwise, I would have been seriously injured." ”

Xiao Shisan blinked his eyes a few times and said, "When you were in the cottage, you never served anyone, but today you did." ”

Xiao Twelve said: "You haven't served anyone, you can also try it today." ”

Xiao Shisan hurriedly waved his hand, "I can't even beat you, let alone senior brother, I am willing to gamble and lose." With that, Xiao 13 walked towards Xiao Shami, who was a little dumbfounded at this time, Xiao 13 and Xiao Shami wanted to pass the broom and swept the ground with a bang.

Xiao Twelve hugged his fists at the grandfather and went to find a broom to sweep the ground. The master turned around and went back to the house and continued to drink.

In the evening, Xiao Laodao came back, called the grandfather out of the temple alone, and asked the grandfather, how are the two people, Xiao Twelve and Xiao Thirteen?

The master replied that Xiao Twelve has an upright temperament and Xiao Thirteen has a sleek personality, but these two people are not as simple as they seem. Xiao Laodao didn't ask anything more, just nodded.

After turning the day, Xiao Laodao said goodbye to the host of the temple and took a few people into the mountain.

After walking in the mountains for half a day, a valley appeared in the mountains, and there was a river in the valley, and in the upper reaches of the river, there was a cave.

When he came to the cave, Xiao Laodao pointed to the cave and said to everyone: "Yesterday I and Eleven explored it, and the tomb is in this cave, but we didn't go in, so I don't know what's going on inside." ”

The grandfather was puzzled when he heard this, and asked, "Has such an obvious place not been discovered?" ”

Xiao Laodao said: "It has been discovered a long time ago, but the people who went in have never come out, and I heard the host of the temple say that there seems to be some evil spirit in it." Saying that, Xiao Laodao asked Xiao Twelve and Xiao Thirteen, "If you two are allowed to take the lead, do you dare?" ”

Xiao Twelve and Xiao Thirteen glanced at each other, Xiao Twelve was silent, Xiao Thirteen said: "With Master here, what dare we dare." With that, Xiao 13 was the first to climb to the entrance of the cave, took out a torch from his body, lit it with a fire fold, and made a gesture to enter the cave.

Seeing this, Xiao Twelve hesitated, but he also took out a torch from his baggage and lit it.

"Good!" Xiao Laodao looked very pleased, "It seems that let the two of you come over, I didn't choose the wrong person, you can go in." ”

When Xiao 13 heard this, he glanced at Xiao 12 and said, "Your kung fu is higher than mine, or ...... You go in first? ”

Xiao Twelve glanced at him, and walked into the cave first with a torch. Seeing this, Xiao Shisan turned around and smiled at Xiao Laodao, "Master, we will never let you down!" After speaking, he followed Xiao Twelve into the cave.

Seeing this, the master also wanted to take the torch from the baggage, but he was stopped by Xiao Laodao raising his hand, and after a while, Xiao Laodao said to the master this time: "The line of digging graves and robbing tombs is righteousness, courage, and wisdom. ”

As soon as the master heard Xiao Laodao's words, he immediately understood, Xiao Laodao was testing the two of them, and the master asked in a low voice: "Is there no tomb here?" ”

Xiao Laodao smiled slightly, "There is ......"
