"The surname is Lu. Could it be a sparrow? Chen Nian was surprised and delighted, and hurriedly got up and went out to greet him, and sure enough, he received Lu Lingque and a few villagers from the original Qingfeng Village at the gate of the inner walled city.

The sparrow was wearing a green shirt, covered with a leather robe, carrying a long sword behind him, his cheeks were red from the cold wind, but his eyes were full of joy, and he said: "Chen Nian, my father and I have come to join you, and you can't accept it." ”

Chen Nian was naturally happy when he heard this, looked left and right, and saw the figure of Lu Rongfeng, the father of the spirit sparrow, and said strangely: "Uncle Lu." Why don't you see him? ”

The sparrow smiled: "My father said that he couldn't come to you empty-handed, he took some brothers to do some things, and he will be there in a few days." ”

She said vaguely, Chen Nian smiled, led her into the village, and called someone to call Lu Xiao to come over to meet her. As soon as Lu Xiao entered the door and saw the sparrow, he looked her up and down, and asked with a smile, "Hey, why are you here?" ”

The sparrow stood up from the chair a little crampedly, but glared at Lu Xiao fiercely, and said, "I'm here to look for the New Year, not to find you,"

Lu Xiao didn't speak, only grinned.

When Wen Daya and the others heard that there were guests, they all came to see. Chen Nian introduced them to the Lingque one by one, and everyone saw that the Lingque was a young and handsome girl, and they were a little embarrassed, but the Xiao Monkey was the thickest-skinned, and came to the front and smiled with the Lingque and said: "Sister Lu, I am the junior brother of the big boss, you must not treat me as an outsider. ”

The sparrow has a hearty temperament, and nods with a smile.

Chen Nian said: "My master's personality is a little eccentric, and she is in retreat recently, and I will take you to see her in two days." ”

Everyone gathered together and was lively for a while, and Chen Nian asked Wen Daya to go out to help Lingque and the others arrange accommodation. Cui Xi saw that she seemed to have something to say to the sparrow, so he found an excuse to take everyone out.

There were only two people left in the house, Chen Nian and the sparrow, and the sparrow briefly talked about what happened in Qingfeng Village after Chen Nian left. When it came to the fact that Shan Likun escaped and set up another mountain elsewhere, Chen Nian sighed unconsciously: "Uncle Jiang is too soft-hearted, and he is not bold enough, if Shan Likun had been killed, where would there be these later things." ”

Lingque nodded and said: "Everyone also sees through this, and thinks that it is difficult for Jiang Da to revitalize the name of Qingfeng Village, the old man has gone a lot, some have voted elsewhere, some have set up another mountain, and some have gone to the south to join the army." The originally huge stockade is now almost empty. My father was reluctant to leave, but later he saw that Uncle Jiang was too defensive of him, and he didn't want to spoil the brotherhood that had been going on for many years, so he left Qingfeng Village ruthlessly. I just heard that you are in Beitaihang, so we came to look for it. ”

Hearing this, Chen Nian said: "There were a lot of people outside just now, and I don't want to ask, where did Uncle Lu go." ”

Lingque smiled and said, "Don't be annoyed with me in Chennian, my father said this, and it must be done before it can be counted, so I won't tell you yet." You don't have to be in a hurry, but you can get the letter in a few days, you wait patiently. ”

Hearing her say this, Chen Nian stopped asking, and only settled the sparrow in the stockade. After four or five days, Nalu Rongfeng chased after him with more than a dozen capable people. Chen Nian personally went out of the village to welcome them in, and saw that they were all dressed very bloated, and he was a little surprised in his heart, these people are all martial arts practitioners, and it stands to reason that they should not be so afraid of the cold, how can they be dressed thicker than ordinary people.

After the greetings, there was no one else in the house, so Lu Rongfeng and the people who came with him took off their leather robes and flipped them over, revealing the densely sewn secret pockets inside. The sparrow stepped forward with a smile, took out the gold bricks from the hidden pocket and piled them on the table, and said with a smile: "I sewed these hidden pockets one by one, but I have been secretly sewing them for many days. ”

The gold bricks were all of average size, and they were stacked on the table into a small mountain, which was as much as ten thousand taels, and Chen Nian was dumbfounded and asked, "Where did you get so much gold?" She stretched out her hand and took a gold brick to take a closer look, looked at the mark engraved on the back, and looked closely, but it was a congratulatory word, and she was surprised: "He's family." ”

Lu Rongfeng nodded and said, "It is the He family, this is what He Ze sent from Yiping to Taixing's lair, and it was robbed by us." ”

Chen Nian was shocked in his heart, that He Ze was not a good stubble, so he robbed his gold like this, I am afraid that he will not be good.

Lingque looked at Chen Nian's face, guessing that she might be afraid of He Ze's revenge, so she said: "Chen Nian, you don't have to worry, this gold was robbed by my father and them from the Wanjiang River, they deliberately changed their outfits, they will not be recognized, let alone suspect that they came to you." ”

Lu Rongfeng also said: "After He Ze occupied Yiping, he took advantage of the river fortune to transport a lot of things to Taixing, and we had already seen it, so we robbed him of the gold." After the gold arrived, we first went around the south of the Yangtze River, and then went north, and we were careful along the way, and no one was ever discovered. ”

Chen Nian also had dealings with He Ze, and knew that that man was scheming, treacherous and cunning, and it was not easy to get cheap from him. But the matter has been done, and the Lu father and daughter are all well-intentioned, she can't say anything else, so she smiled and said: "It's okay, even if he knows that we did it, I'm not afraid of him." He is currently working with Xue Shengying's *** Zhang family, and he is too busy to take care of himself, so he can't take the time to deal with us first. ”

She looked at the gold for a moment, and then smiled unconsciously: "We were worried that we didn't have money to go to Yunxi to purchase medicinal materials, and we didn't want you to send this lot of gold, which shows that it is also the will of heaven." ”

Lingque was stunned when he heard this, and said strangely: "Go to Yunxi to purchase medicinal materials." and use all this abundance of gold. ”

Chen Nian smiled and nodded, went to the door and instructed the villagers outside to invite Chaoyangzi, turned around and said to the Lu father and daughter: "Chaoyangzi Daoist is going, the current war in Jiangbei is endless, I am afraid that the epidemic will rise again in the heat next year, and I said that I should take precautions in advance, so as not to lack medical treatment and medicine, and I will not be able to save everyone's lives." ”

"But there are so many medicinal herbs in the village." Lingque Dao, at this moment, there are only more than 2,000 people in Hukou Ridge, which is still less than half of the number of people when Qingfeng Village was prosperous, so why use so many medicinal materials.

"Not only for this village, but also for the people in other places." Before the Chaoyangzi people arrived, the voice came in from outside the door. He opened the curtain and came in, looked at Lu Rongfeng and the others, glanced at the gold on the table again, his face was calm, and he said lightly: "With the epidemic, there are more than 10 million people affected by the disaster, and this bit of gold is still much worse." ”

The spirit bird came a few days earlier, and he had already met Chaoyangzi, but Lu Rongfeng and the others saw this miracle doctor for the first time, and they came forward to see him with a respectful expression. Chaoyangzi sat down in the chair with a big thorn, rolled his eyes, and said, "I have long heard of the name of your Qingfeng Village, since you claim to be a righteous bandit, then you have to show some appearance of a righteous bandit." Acting chivalrous and righteous, robbing the rich and helping the poor is considered righteousness, but it is compassionate to the world, and the common people are in mind, and it is the righteousness of righteousness, which is the great righteousness,"

Others didn't know Chaoyangzi's temper, but Chen Nian was afraid of his preaching, so he hurriedly got up and interrupted him, and said: "What the Taoist chief taught us is that we have to do the big righteousness from the small righteousness, these gold are not enough, and there are still some in the stockade, and they are all taken out for the Taoist to purchase medicinal materials." As she spoke, she turned around to look at Lu Rongfeng and the others, and explained to Lingque: "Uncle Lu, they have worked hard all the way, you send them to have a good rest, the house has been prepared a long time ago, and other things will be talked about later." ”

After Lingque took Lu Rongfeng and the others out, Chen Nian asked Chaoyangzi with a smiling face: "Dao Chief, when will you get up and go to Yunxi." I'll give you a manpower. ”

"Leave in two days, the sooner the better." Chaoyangzi replied.

Chen Nian nodded, thought for a while, and asked, "My master can go with you." ”

Chaoyangzi glanced at her and said, "She won't go, she said she would stay in the village to teach you martial arts." ”

Chen Nian nodded again, and was about to speak again, but Chaoyangzi suddenly stretched out his hand and reached her wrist like lightning. Chen Nian didn't want to turn his wrist to block, neither of them moved, only made a move in his hand, and in the blink of an eye, he dismantled a few moves. Chaoyangzi attacked, Chen Nian came to block, and when he reached more than 20 moves, Chen Nian revealed a flaw, and then Chaoyangzi buckled the vein.

Chen Nian said with some dissatisfaction: "The Taoist chief bullies the small with the big, and he has the ability to find my master to dismantle the trick." ”

Chaoyangzi snorted coldly, concentrating on cutting the pulse of the year, and after a while, he said strangely: "I see that your eyes are getting brighter and brighter, and when you followed your master to practice that bullshit magic skill, it turned out that it was nothing." ”

Chen Nian's heart was empty, but he smiled very sweetly on his face, and said: "Dao Chief, haven't you heard of the poems of the ancients describing beauties." There is a way to have bright eyes, I look so beautiful, and my eyes are naturally like that. ”

Chaoyangzi threw her wrist out when she heard this, "No face and no skin, such a big girl doesn't know how to be ashamed, who do you listen to praise yourself like this." ”

Chen Nian replied with a grin: "I'm just telling the truth." ”

The corners of Chaoyangzi's mouth couldn't help curling, and he looked at her twice, but he said with a straight face: "Chen Nian, let me tell you, your master's five aggregate divine skills are not a good thing, you don't want to practice that." Although that magic skill is powerful, it is very easy to go crazy when you stay in the back. Even a martial arts genius like your master, after more than ten years of hard training, he couldn't break through the fifth layer. If it weren't for me being by her side, forcibly dissipating all her internal strength, I am afraid that she would already be in reverse flow of qi and blood at this moment, and her meridians would explode and die. ”

Chen Nian felt a chill in his heart when he heard this, and couldn't help asking, "Is there no way to break it?" Since that magic skill has come out, it means that some people have practiced it, and they can't all go crazy. ”

Chaoyangzi said: "Except for the person who created this skill, I have only heard of one person who has practiced this skill, but he is still an old monk and left a few words of mantra. ”

"What a mantra." Chen Nian couldn't help but ask.

Chaoyangzi listened to the slight eagerness in her voice, looked at her, and frowned slightly.

Chen Nian hurriedly explained with a smile: "I'm just curious, don't be suspicious." ”

Chaoyangzi then said: "These five aggregates are empty, this is the Buddhist scriptures, the old monk left behind is the eight-character mantra: concentration, pure heart, enlightenment, clear heart, said that only by doing this, can you practice this skill." ”

Chen Nian seemed to understand whether he understood or not, and wanted to ask carefully, but he was afraid that Chaoyangzi would be suspicious, so he said: "The old monk likes to play dumb riddles when he speaks, and he refuses to say anything thoroughly." After she finished speaking, she changed the topic and asked Chaoyangzi: "Dao Chief, have you figured out who to ask to accompany you to Yunxi." ”

Chaoyangzi shook his head, "You need to be smart, but you need to be steady and reliable." ”

Chen Nian smiled: "I'll tell you some people, you don't think it's okay." ”

"Who." Chaoyangzi asked.

Chen Nian said: "It's Uncle Lu and the sparrow just now, it's good." ”
