Chapter Twenty-Nine: Avoiding Difficulties
When I arrived at the Yuanming Temple in Taihe County, it was almost the end of the day, but the sky did not shine with light white and bright colors as usual, but became darker and darker.
Sang Wenxiu stopped the car and took a long breath: "Why is there no light on this day?" The horse lights can't illuminate a few steps, but fortunately they are all flat roads, otherwise they would not dare to walk. ”
Qiao Chushi touched his disciple's head and said kindly, "Go back and rest." ”
He said to Hu Xianxian again: "Go find your mother and them." ”
Hu Xianxian looked at the love and pity for her disciple in her eyes, and she already missed her mother very much in her heart, and when she heard her say this, she ran towards the Guanzhong wing with tears in her eyes.
Aunt Hu and the third uncle and others were all in the room, and when they saw Hu Xianxian coming in, Sanhua shouted, "Are you back?" Ah, Miss is back, back......"
Hu Xianxian saw that Aunt Hu was sitting and didn't move, knowing that you were sulking.
Hu Xianxian knelt down on her knees and said, "My daughter is not filial, mother, forgive my daughter." She had knelt many times during this time, but only this time she was willing.
Two lines of tears flowed out of Aunt Hu's cloudy eyes, "You have a chance, there is no unfilial piety!" It's me, a blind old woman, who is dragging you down. ”
"Mother......" She has a lot of things to say, but she choks in her throat and just can't say it.
The third uncle came over to pull her, "Xianxian, get up quickly." Don't blame your mother for being angry, why don't you make it clear to us? ”
Hu Xianxian refused to get up, and the third uncle said to Aunt Hu again: "Niece and daughter-in-law, don't be angry, Xianxian should be happy when he comes back." ”
Aunt Hu wiped away her tears and asked Sanhua to help her go to Hu Xianxian's side: "Get up." Mother is really afraid that you will be like your brother and your father, and you will not come back as soon as you leave......" Aunt Hu said and cried again. Hu Xianxian hugged her mother, and both mother and daughter couldn't cry.
Sanhua also cried, and the others couldn't help but have a sour nose.
The second fat rubbed his red eyes, looked outside, and suddenly shouted: "Look, look, it's a dragon...... Dragon! ”
They all looked out, and there was indeed a dark blue dragon shadow dancing in the midst of the rolling clouds. Although it was only like lightning, everyone was sure that it was a dragon.
Hu Xianxian muttered to himself: "It's true, what they said is true......"
Aunt Hu pulled her daughter tightly, "Xianxian, what are you talking about?" Don't run around. ”
Hu Xianxian took his sleeve to wipe away his mother's tears, and wiped his own tears: "Mother, don't worry, I won't run around." Guarding my mother, being with everyone is the happiest and most comfortable. Also, those things about them are not something that we ordinary people should know. ”
The third uncle beckoned everyone to sit down, "Don't look at it, it's not good for us ordinary people to see too many strange things." Hey, Xianxian, did you go to see Miss Du? Thanks to her timely report this time, we saw a lot of people running out of town just as we got out of town. Say yes, the Che Governor's Mansion is arresting people everywhere, arresting some bandit accomplices. As for the bandits, they also made indiscriminate and looted everywhere, saying that the people of the city had sued them for their misfortune, and they wanted revenge. ”
Hu Xianxian shook his head, "I haven't seen the Du family's sister yet, and she's also here?" The city will not be chaotic for a few days, and the situation will be cleaned up soon. ”
Sanhua yawned, "Here it is." She went out of the city with us, and her grandmother Cai also came from Qiongguang County to join her, and they were with those Taoist aunts in Qionglian Palace. Oh, that scholar Ye Zan didn't go back to Jingchun County, and he was also hiding here. ”
"Yezan?" Hu Xianxian frowned, and then relaxed, she thought that since he had already obtained the money, the bandits who were in the vicinity should not reveal Du Wanzhi's whereabouts.
When she saw Sanhua yawning, she said, "Sanhua, go to sleep when you are sleepy." ”
"Sleep?" Sanhua rolled her eyes at her, "Where do you sleep?" It's full of people, and it's good to have a place to sit. ”
Hu Xianxian patted his forehead, "I'm really confused." Mother, I can't sleep anyway, you accompany me to see Wanzhi. ”
The mother and daughter slowly walked towards the other courtyard, and on the way, Hu Xianxian saw a faint dragon shadow hovering in the sky several times, and she was worried that Cheng Haofeng would not be able to control the demon dragon; He also secretly scolded himself for being idle, they were people from a different world from him, and he should no longer have anything to do with them.
Du Wanzhi and Granny Cai, as well as Qiao Chushi's junior sister Fan Chuyao and Qiao Chushi's two disciples were in the same room.
Du Wanzhi saw their mother and daughter coming over, and greeted them from afar: "Sister Hu, I can be regarded as seeing you." I listened to Qiao Yuanjun talk about what you experienced, it was really thrilling. ”
Ruan Wenyue rushed forward angrily when she saw Hu Xianxian, Sang Wenxiu grabbed her and whispered: "I told you everything, the master said that it had to be done at that time, and I don't blame her." ”
Ruan Wenyue was still unwilling to sit in the corner, and Sang Wenxiu had to sit with her.
Fan Chuyao is extremely tall and thin, and she is more elegant than Qiao Chushi. She glanced at the two juniors and smiled at Hu Xianxian: "The children are not sensible, please forgive Miss Hu." I heard my sister say that Miss Hu is witty, her mouth is skillful, and she is fortunate to be poor. ”
Hu Xianxian also smiled: "I am doing my best to make trouble for Qiao Yuanjun, and she still praises me like this, I can't help but blush." I, the sister of the Du family, also bother you to take care of it, and we really don't know how to repay the kindness of Qionglian Palace. ”
Fan Chuyao waved her hand, "It's all a family, what do you want to repay?" Come in and sit down. ”
Hu Xianxian saw that Qiao Chushi was not there and asked her where she went, and Fan Chuyao said that she was discussing with Governor Sun about suppressing bandits.
The Che Governor of Lingzhou asked the Sun Governor of Yizhou to withdraw his troops on the grounds that the small bandit village did not work for the help of people from other states. Yizhou Sun Zhifu had no choice but to retreat, but he didn't go far, and the soldiers were stationed in an open space two miles outside the view.
After saying these situations, Fan Chuyao said with emotion: "I am also the queen of the gate, but unfortunately I can't go to the battlefield to serve the country." It is a pity that the Taoist sect is sparse in learning art and the Taoism is sparse, so it is a pity that such a fierce battle that is rare in a hundred years cannot be participated in person. ”
When Hu Xianxian heard her say this, she thought in a trance, are you sorry? If you can participate in person, will you feel happy and proud?
When she thought about it, she really felt that she was chanting a spell, pinching her fingers, and stepping on a huge black dragon. He secretly suppressed anger in his heart, and asked sharply at the black dragon, "How did you escape?" You have used me again and again, so how can I trust you again? She was full of aura and focused on the jade sword in her hand, and stabbed the sword into the ......
"Sister Hu, Sister Hu......" Hu Xianxian felt that her hands were soft, and her eyes lit up, it was obvious that Du Wanzhi was looking at her worriedly beside her, how could there be any black dragon?
Fan Chuyao came over and stroked her back and gently turned out a yin and yang figure, "Miss Hu, are you better?" You suddenly lost your mind, what's wrong? ”
Hu Xianxian felt that his back changed from a cold and tight feeling to warm and comfortable, but his body felt a little weak, "Thank you, Fan Yuanjun, I'm better." I just suddenly felt like I was fighting a black dragon, and I didn't know what was going on. ”
"Black Dragon? This demon dragon is a blue dragon, not a black dragon. Fan Chuyao said with some surprise.
She then said to Hu Xianxian and Du Wanzhi: "You call me Dao Chief, I am not Yuanjun." My senior sister is the emperor's royal seal 'Shuyi Pingkang Yuanjun', although she has not certified the immortal position, she can also be called Qiao Yuanjun. I don't have a title, so I can't be called Yuanjun. ”
Hu Xianxian nodded, and Du Wanzhi chuckled: "There are so many rules in the Daomen, how do you remember those many rules?" ”
Fan Chuyao was not angry at Du Wanzhi for teasing her, but said that Du Wanzhi and Xianxian were also from the Daomen. She said that the patriarch of Qionglian Palace, Cai Lianjun, is the senior sister of Du Wanzhi in her previous life, and the patriarch Cai Lianjun has passed away in the blessed land of purple qi, and only on March 3 every year, Qi Chuluan, the current palace master of Qionglian Palace, can pass through the spirit of the ancestor. On March 3 this year, Patriarch Cai Lianjun also specially asked Qi Chuluan to entrust her image as a dream to her Cai family's descendants, so as to protect Du Wanzhi.
Hearing this, Grandma Cai opened her eyes wide and said loudly: "My old aunt and grandmother are your ancestors?" I really had that dream. My young lady is the younger sister of your ancestor, how can this generation be counted? ”
Fan Chuyao smiled: "I can't figure it out in this life." Later, Cheng Zhenren found Second Senior Sister Qiao for help, and said that my ancestor's master was from the same school as his master, and Miss Hu was his junior sister, and Second Senior Sister Qiao immediately agreed to help. ”
Hu Xianxian was stunned when she heard it, and after a long list of words, she remembered what senior sisters, senior brothers and sisters, and she was very tired, she stretched her waist and said: "Then we are all from the same family, and we are really a family......"
Everyone chatted affectionately, and when it came to Dechen, the sky finally brightened.
Qiao Chushi returned to their room and asked, "Miss Hu, is this jade pendant yours?" ”
Hu Xianxian took it and saw that it was the piece that he gave to Gao Youshan and gave it to the horse dealer when he changed horses.
"It's mine, Yuan Jun ransomed it from a horse dealer?"
Qiao Chushi talked about how this jade pendant came into his hands, the prefect of the car was not effective in suppressing bandits, and the court had ordered the Xiao cavalry battalion Hu garrison under the jurisdiction of the Taixing City Capital to come to reinforcements. Hu Garrison was armed with excellent cavalry, and he arrived here an hour ago.
After Hu Shoubei finished discussing the matter with Governor Sun, he took out a piece of jade pendant and asked Qiao Chushi to hand it back to Hu Xianxian, who said that the jade pendant was redeemed from a horse dealer. When Hu Shoubei passed through Yizhou, several horses had broken horses, and he went to a horse dealer to help, and accidentally saw the jade pendant.
The horse dealer said that someone did not have enough money to mortgage the jade pendant there, and Hu Shoubei redeemed it on a whim. At that time, Hu Shoubei inquired that the jade pendant was from Hu Xianxian's hand, and today he heard Qiao Chushi mention Hu Xianxian's name, so he asked Qiao Chushi to transfer it back to Hu Xianxian.
Hu Xianxian was in a complicated mood when he took this piece of lost jade pendant, which was also too outrageous.
Aunt Hu has been listening attentively, and after listening, she hurriedly asked, "Hu Shoubei?" Jade pendant? What jade pendant? Where is he? ”
Qiao Chushi promised: "Hu Garrison has led the troops to set off just now. ”
Hu Xianxian saw her mother's excited expression, so she asked her, "Mother, what's wrong with you?" Do you blame me for mortgaging the jade pendant? ”
Aunt Hu held her hand and said, "No, it's a good mortgage." I have a gut feeling that this Hu Shoubei is Fa Fa, my son, your brother! He may have thought that the jade pendant was familiar and helped you redeem it. At that time, the jade was cut out of the same piece of material, although it was not a high-grade jade, but the pattern presented was a rabbit, a cow, your brother is a cow, you happen to belong to a rabbit. Your father bought it and made it into a jade pendant to keep your brothers and sisters safe. ”
"So, mother, will it be? He didn't say that this jade pendant belonged to his sister. ”
Qiao Chushi smiled and said: "Wait for Hu Shoubei to come back and ask in triumph, won't it be clear?" If the family can be reunited, it will be a happy event. ”
Aunt Hu had a smile on her face, and said firmly: "It must be yes, mother and son are connected, I touched this jade pendant and knew that he helped the immortal redeem it." He was on military duty, and he didn't have time to think about it, but he would be able to remember it when he came back to see us. ”
Aunt Hu talked about many things in the past, and everyone sighed. Hu Xianxian also hoped that this Hu Shoubei was her brother, and her mood after a few days of gloom finally became more relaxed.
Just after noon, Gui Chongxu led Pan Zongqiang and the plug to the Yuanmingguan, and saw that Pan Zongqiang was still healthy although he had lost a lot of weight, and although the plug was covered with scaly wounds, he did not hurt his muscles and bones, and Hu Xianxian's heart was much relieved.
Gui Chongxu said to everyone: "It's easy for me to save the bolt, but it's a lot more troublesome to save Master Pan." He had been looking for a long time just to find the secret room where he was locked up, and if it weren't for Cheng Zhenren's help, he wouldn't have been able to enter the secret room at all. If it weren't for Cheng Zhenren's Huixin Jade Sword, he wouldn't have been able to take him out if he found Master Pan. ”
Speaking of Cheng Haofeng, Hu Xianxian's heart tightened, and he stammered and asked, "Cheng Fengfeng...... Oh, Cheng ...... Why didn't Cheng Daochang come back? ”
