Zhang Lingfeng looked much haggard, especially with a pale face and weak limbs, and more importantly, he was injured, and his left arm was wrapped in a bandage and lay flat on the edge of the bed.

"You're here!" Seeing Su Ming, Zhang Lingfeng squeezed out a smile on his face. "Elder Zhang. Su Ming hugged his fists and saluted, his face was expressionless, but he wondered a little in his heart, Zhang Lao is also a master, how could he ...... When I think about Tian Guang in the Suzaku Camp, yes, he must have been injured by those people.

Seeing Su Ming's expressionless face, Zhang Lao sighed and said, "The arm was injured while covering Xu Cuishan, but fortunately, it's okay." ”

Xu Cuishan is the owner of Xu Ji Inn and Xu Yingying's father. Although Zhang Lingfeng and Su Ming have only met a few times, they still know that Su Ming is a smart and upward teenager.

"What, the other party threatened you?" Su Ming was puzzled.

"No, it's mainly my apprentice, if it falls into the hands of the rebels, it will be more than lucky!" Zhang Lingfeng coughed twice, and then, the young reception disciple carefully picked up a sand bowl from the square table not far away, the liquid in the bowl was black, exuding an unpleasant smell of medicine, and Su Ming's stomach also looked rolling.

Zhang Lingfeng took the medicine bowl, brought it to his lips, frowned, and drank it all; Su Ming, who watched it, also admired it in his heart.

"By the way, why did you come to Lanshan County, and now the entire Nanfeng County has fallen. Su Ming talked about other topics so as not to be sad.

"Hey, it's my junior brother, he was looking for his unsuccessful apprentice, and he happened to meet me on the road and fought with the rebels, and helped me, alas, it is also heaven that will not kill me. After Zhang Lao drank the medicine, his face was obviously much more rosy.

"Oh, your junior brother, how old is he this year, does he seem to be in good shape!" Su Ming thought of something and had some questions.

"Senior brother is also over fifty years old this year, why do you want to apprentice too!" Zhang Lao didn't know Su Ming's intentions.

"Oh," Su Ming came back to his senses, was stunned for a moment, and said: "Yes, the current government is inactive, and troubled times are coming, I must at least learn to protect myself, besides, heroes are born in troubled times, who doesn't want to leave wisdom in history." The prince will have a kind of Xiangning!"

Zhang Lao was taken aback, he couldn't imagine that this sixteen-year-old boy had a lot of ambition, and then looked at Su Ming for a moment, nodded, and said with a smile: "Well, heroes come out of troubled times, yes, I see that you have a resolute gaze, neither humble nor arrogant, and you are a good boy." But my junior brother went out this morning, and I don't know when I will return, I already have Xu Yingying, and I have long regarded her as a closed disciple, and I have already made an oath. Zhang Lao was a little helpless, and after a while, he said to the young disciples on the side: "You go to the kitchen to boil some water and quench the thirst of a few donors outside the door." ”

"The disciple obeyed. With that, the young disciple walked out slowly and closed the door.

Seeing the disciple walking away, Zhang Lao took out a crumpled piece of kraft paper from his arms and handed it to Su Ming: "I see that you have an extraordinary appearance, and you will become a great weapon in the future, this mantra will be given to you, so you should have a good fate." ”

Su Ming was stunned, what kind of formula, won't let me be a Taoist, just about to refuse, Zhang Lao preemptively said: "Don't refuse first, let me tell you, you have this formula, if you cooperate with the Heavenly Outer Stone, it can stimulate the potential of your body." ”

"What!"

Su Ming was shocked at this moment, wasn't he just worried about this matter, he didn't expect it to be solved so quickly. Su Ming is not a rookie, he suppressed his joy in a blink of an eye, and said with a smile: "As the saying goes, take people's money and eliminate disasters for others, if the seniors have anything to ask me to help with, as long as I can, the seniors will tell me." ”

"Hehe, you kid is such a little fox. Zhang Lao grinned a few times, "I have a letter here, help me hand it over to my master." After speaking, Zhang Lao seemed to be in a much better mood, and then said: "By the way, you can go to my master to apprentice, how about it, the transaction is cost-effective." ”

The start and end are cost-effective, it is simply too profitable, Su Ming has already cheered in his heart, but on the surface, he still has to be calm, he thought for a moment, and said: "Yes, but where is your division? ”

"Tianxing Mountain in Daxi County, there is a Tianxing Sect, I am a disciple of the sect master, if you want to go in, I shouldn't embarrass you. Zhang Lao's face was bad again, his purple lips began to turn white, and his right hand began to tremble slightly.

There was a sound of footsteps outside the door, and Su Ming hurriedly put the kraft paper in Zhang Lao's hand into the chest of his clothes.

The door opened, the disciple came back, he was a little surprised to see Zhang Lao's appearance, and then quickly poured out a pill from the three-inch-high jade bottle on the square table, put it in Zhang Lao's mouth, and then poured some water into his mouth. ”

"Okay, that's a bother. Su Ming cherished Zhang Lao again, and when he saw that he couldn't speak, he didn't say much, and went out.

That night, Zhang Lingfeng died, in fact, the death of people's hearts is the real death.

"Well, the old master is good. As soon as Boss Qian saw Su Ming come out, he hurriedly stepped forward to ask, Su Ming shook his head and didn't say much.

Seeing that Su Ming's face and state were not very good, Boss Qian didn't say much, and took Su Ming and his son back to the inn.

Back at the inn, Su Ming told him about seeing Zhang Lao, and said that he would go to Daxi County tomorrow and hand over a letter from Zhang Lao.

"You are also going to apprentice!" Boss Qian asked Su Ming tentatively, but Su Ming did not deny it.

"Although Onishi County is not too far from here, but it has to pass through the mountains, and the road is not easy to walk, so you can take my son with you and see if he can learn from him. After Boss Qian finished speaking, he didn't wait for Su Ming to speak, he directly took out a stack of silver tickets from the drawer in the room and handed them to Su Ming, "This is five hundred taels of silver tickets, so it should be regarded as my donation! The other one hundred taels should be used as travel expenses, how about it!"

Su Ming was stunned, very shocked, and turned his head to think: "Boss Qian trusts me so much?"

"Haha," Boss Qian glanced at Su Ming, a little appreciative, and then said, "I'll send a master to protect you to the west." ”

Su Ming didn't refuse, in fact, he didn't have a reason to refuse, he had money to take, and bodyguards, such a good thing could not be found with a lantern!

That night, Boss Qian treated Su Ming well, plus Boss Qian's son had a dinner for a total of three people, Su Ming had no scruples, and his stomach was propped up, and at such a sumptuous dinner, Su Ming ate a dish, braised pig's trotters.

Early the next morning, Boss Qian stood at the door of the inn to see off Su Ming, Su Ming didn't have anything to bring, but his son was carrying a big bag, which looked very incompatible with his figure.

The group of three people went on the road, and the bodyguard that Boss Qian found was a middle-aged man in his thirties, with a Shenzi face, a mustache, and a body that could only be said to be strong, only knowing that the other party's surname was Liu, and Su Ming called him Master Liu. He smiled faintly and didn't say much.

It seems that the other party is a silent person, and he is looking at Boss Qian's son, Qian Xiaoqiang. Qian Xiaoqiang is twelve years old, stronger than his peers, not short, he didn't talk much at first, but after a few hours, he was convinced that his father sent him to learn art.

Su Ming wanted to say a few words, but when he thought about it, the other party was only twelve years old, and it was not surprising that his curiosity was very heavy, but he was himself, a sixteen-year-old figure, a twenty-three-year-old mental age, and outsiders looked precocious;

Lanshan County walked northwest for a day, and the society here was stable, there was no turmoil, and it was relatively fast to take the official road.

In the evening, the three of them entered Onishi County, found an inn in a nearby town, opened two rooms, and stayed overnight.
