They went home and slept comfortably on their beds.

Woke up the next day, after breakfast, Zhou Tianshen rushed to the martial arts hall non-stop, except for Wang Duochan and Bai Xiaosheng, everyone else had already arrived.

Meng Cheng piled up some packages behind him, the same size and shape, and some different styles of marks were made on them, which were surnames with black silk threads, one for each person, as well as the bamboo baskets and firewood knives necessary for going up the mountain, and they were also handful, and after Wang Duozhan and Bai Xiaosheng arrived together, Meng Cheng began to arrange the tasks and matters that need to be paid attention to this time.

Meng Cheng cleared his throat, the most rigorous martial arts hall owner in Laohuai Village also had some problems in getting along with these children, he first looked around with his eyes, and only after seeing that everyone was looking at him and did not desert, he said, "This time our destination is Shuixiang County, which is the border of Wuhe Kingdom, from us to Shuixiang County, if you walk, it will take about a year and a half, or even two years." Although the estate is located in the middle of nowhere, it is the smallest state in the Tianshou Continent, but compared to other states, if you really spread it out, the area is also vast. On the way, I will tell you about the specific path of cultivation, although everyone chooses different paths, but in the early stage of cultivation, on the premise of not involving the root of the path, the cultivation method is always the same. Now grab your respective packages and get ready to go. ”

This action was completely unexpected, Meng Cheng didn't greet anyone in advance, so early in the morning, the village entrance was full of people, headed by Kou Huai, there was also a white-haired old man wearing glasses standing next to him, Zhou Tianshen recognized it at a glance, it was the last time he went to Tianxiang County, and wanted to take him as an apprentice, Kou Huai wanted to ask Meng Cheng face to face, taking the children out of the village for such a big thing, why didn't Meng Cheng greet him in advance, acting so rashly, if he encountered an accident on the road, Meng Cheng He couldn't afford this responsibility。

Kou Huai stood in the middle, surrounded by the big black dog that was inseparable from him, Kou Huai looked a little tired, it should be because he didn't have a good rest last night, he took a puff of dry tobacco to refresh himself, and asked softly, "Meng Cheng, tell me what you think." ”

Meng Cheng ignored the eyes of the people around him, and said in a deep voice, "I heard that there will be a martial arts competition in Shuixiang County, I want to take the children to see how cultivators fight, if they stay in the village all the time, without experiencing the struggle of life and death, even if they have a sky-high cultivation realm, it will be difficult to succeed, after all, we can't guard them for a lifetime." ”

Kou Huai exhaled a puff of smoke and said, "The road is far away, I'm afraid it will be difficult for you to take care of them alone, I think it's better to let Wang Guangquan accompany you to do something." ”

A farmer with a gray-white towel on his shoulder walked out of the crowd, and the farmer carried a flat pole on his other shoulder, on which were hung two bamboo baskets, each containing a watermelon, the farmer put the pole on the ground, picked up the towel to wipe the sweat from his ears, and said with a simple smile, "Brother Meng." ”

Meng Cheng nodded in return, looking at the old man's gaze, "I don't think it's necessary, we will be delayed for a long time if we stop and go along the way, Brother Wang's family still has his wife and children to take care of, and he didn't do any farm work in the field. ”

Meng Cheng bowed.

Kou Huai stuck the cigarette stick on his waist and walked to the side, the white-haired old man and the big black dog followed on both sides of him, and walked far away before Kou Huai's voice came, "Come back as soon as possible." ”

Meng Cheng nodded and left.

Wang Guangquan picked up the flat shoulder and returned to his home.

A group of nine people rushed to Shuixiang County, thousands of miles away, on foot.

In the village, the white-haired old man who had just come to Laohuai Village followed behind Kou Huai and said, "Shuixiang County is thousands of miles away from here, this coming and going, plus the delay in recruiting relatives in the martial arts competition, will take almost two years, are you willing to do it?"

Kou Huai looked up at the sky, rubbed the corners of his eyes, and exhaled a hot breath, "Your two apprentices are gone, don't you have no choice." ”

The white-haired old man smiled, silently answered, walked to Kou Huai, bought two oil cakes at a street stall, and gave one to Kou Huai, the two of them walked towards Kou Huai's residence while eating oil cakes, the white-haired old man said, "There must be a way, but I don't want to use it, you want to use it but there is no way, from this point of view, we are different." However, I think the young man was right when he said that eagles that do not experience wind and rain cannot soar in the sky, and it will harm them if they are kept chained to their side. ”

Kou Huai gave him a blank look, swallowed the remaining oil cake in two or three bites, and smeared the oil on the black dog's back at will, the black dog barked a few times dissatisfiedly, Kou Huai pushed open the door of his house, and before it could be closed, one of the white-haired old man's feet had crossed the threshold and stepped on the stone slab of his house, and the white-haired old man smiled at him. Kou Huai didn't have a good air, "It's really short to eat people's mouths and short hands to take people." ”

When Zhou Tianshen and the others walked to Sanmapo, they happened to meet Ma He who rushed back from Tianxiang County, Ma He saw his daughter carrying a package on her back, looking like she was going out of the house, and then saw that everyone else was dressed like this, so he didn't ask anything, he had always been supportive of Meng Cheng, but he just gave Ma Xiandi a jade bracelet and told her that this bracelet was worth some price, if there was no entanglement on the road, even if it was sold, don't suffer yourself because of cultivation.

Ma Xiandi said that she could take care of herself, so she said goodbye to her father and caught up with the team.

When he came to Tianxiang County, Meng Cheng didn't mean to rest here, but just bought some food and water to eat on the way, and when he went straight through Tianxiang County, Zhou Tianshen met the thin old man who played with a monkey, the old man glanced at him, muttered a sentence in his mouth, and left.

Passing through Tianxiang County, it is a large forest, and behind the forest is Jiuxiang County.

The sound of insects could be heard everywhere in the forest, which made people annoyed, and the two young people who were sitting on the side of the road resting saw Meng Cheng and his party and hurriedly stepped forward to say hello.

Meng Cheng stretched out his arm to protect Zhou Tianshen and the others behind him, undisguised his vigilance, and had to guard against it when he went out, let alone with a few children.

One of the young men, wearing a forehead guard and a long sword at his waist, smiled all over his face, raised his hands, took two steps back, signaled that he had no malicious intent, he stood there and asked, "I don't know where this eldest brother is going, can it be convenient for my two brothers to go together?"

Meng Cheng replied coldly that it was inconvenient, and left them with Zhou Tianshen and the others.

The young man wearing the forehead guard smiled goodbye to them, and when he couldn't see them at all, he turned back to his companion and sat down on the side, another young man with a folding fan in his hand, wearing a green shirt, a green dragon jade pendant hanging from his waist, and a long box behind him.

The young man opened the folding fan, and drew a picture of a beauty on the fan, and the young man sneered while admiring the beautiful scenery on the beauty picture, "Bian Daochang, you are really as thick as a city wall, you have been rejected ten times in such a long time, not only do you not retreat, but you are so positive, the teacher said, I am ashamed of you." ”

The young man with the long sword tilted his head, looked at the beauty picture, wiped the saliva from the corner of his mouth and said, "Lu Zhe, if you really feel that you have lost face, you don't have to stay with me, anyway, our entanglement is put together, I don't believe that you still have extra money to go to Shuixiang County, just your temper as a young master, you will be willing to go to Shuixiang County, thousands of miles of mountain roads, new shoes will wear out." ”

As soon as he heard this, the young man holding the folding fan in his hand was furious, and slapped away the big face that made him want to tear it to pieces, and the young man with the folding fan with a sinking face stood in front of the young man with a long sword, and said in a deep voice, " Bian Daochang, pay attention to your identity, anyway, my entanglement was lost in your hands, if you don't want to find a way to let me return to Xiangyun Kingdom safely, I will go to your house to complain, you spent all your money on a woman's belly, I believe that your ancestor who pursues the ambition of men in all directions will definitely go out of the customs in advance, and talk about the truth of his fist with his good grandson. ”

Lu Zhe put away the folding fan and slapped his palms, his face gradually becoming distorted.

Bian Daochang nodded hurriedly, trying to stabilize Lu Zhe who was about to go crazy, he knew the true skills of this old man, otherwise he would not have released such a bold statement, in fact, he was also very helpless, obviously he was the only grandson, he was the future of the family, and he should be the one who was most valued by the family, but the ancestor who had been in retreat all the year round and had been obsessed with martial arts all his life had a blue eye on this young master of the Lu family who had never been far away, and the world was really unfair.

Bian Daochang saw a few more carriages on the road, and hurriedly stood up and ran towards the carriage, Lu Zhe sneered, squatted in place, and looked at Bian Daochang, who was bargaining with others.

On the other side, Meng Cheng took Zhou Tianshen and they wanted to quickly pass through this forest, but they encountered some troublesome things on the way.

In the middle of the dirt road, the wind and dust are everywhere, and the excitement is extraordinary, which is also mixed with the sound of fighting, and on both sides of the road are unrelated people watching the excitement.

Meng Cheng and the others stood aside, not too close.

It didn't take long for several carriages to come behind him, and the coachman was the two young men who had blocked the road before, and the young man with a long sword at his waist saw Zhou Tianshen and greeted them with a smile.

Zhou Tianshen nodded in response.

Meng Cheng only glanced at it with his peripheral eyes, and paid more attention to the battle in the center of the road.

Stop the carriage on the side of the road, Bian Dao often holds a bald old man holding a green dragon Zen staff to help him get off the carriage, the bald old man wears a shabby robe, with a huge Buddha bead around his neck, followed by a little monk holding a bowl and bowl, seeing the bloody scene in front of him, the little monk called Amitabha Buddha lightly, hid behind the bald man, closed his eyes and chanted.

The bald old man stepped forward and shouted Amitabha, which made both sides of the battle stop, looking at the two factions holding knives and covered in blood, the bald old man shouted Amitabha Buddha in pain, dropped a few tears, fell in the dust, and was quickly covered by the mud, wiping away the teardrops, the bald old man took a few steps forward, and said bitterly, "Look at the blood on your hands, look at the karma all over the ground, this is all the sin of killing, you are going to hell." ”

Among the two factions, there are only five or six people left, the strong man at the head, holding a big knife in his hand, has the most wounds on his body, among which there is a sword wound, the most shocking, the wound from top to bottom, through the whole body, deep bones, the wound scribbled a layer of ointment The strong man fought for his last breath, supported himself with a knife and pestle, and shouted at the opposite side, "Did you hear it, you thieves, are going to hell." ”

Although the opposite faction has the most correct number of people who fell to the ground, there are also the most people standing, there are about dozens of people, ten people are in a circle, in the middle of the circle sits a thin young man with a sallow face, and next to the young man stands a middle-aged man with white temples and a big belly, the middle-aged man has a fist in front of his abdomen with his left hand, and behind his right hand, with a steel ring, he is a cultivator of the Kui Realm, which is already a first-class powerhouse in Tianxiang County, the middle-aged man said impatiently, " Our young master said that if you hand over your things now, you can also consider sparing your life, otherwise, you will die!"

The strong man laughed and spit out a mouthful of blood, "Ridiculous, because of our incompetence, the young master has died in your hands, what face do we have to live in the world, surnamed Xie, if you have the ability, you will come and kill Lao Tzu in person, otherwise, I will cut off your neck with my own hands and avenge the young master!"

In the pool of blood behind the strong man and others, there was indeed a young man whose clothes were soaked with blood, the young man's face was covered with knife wounds, and he was already unrecognizable, the bald old man saw this, shed a few tears, and slowly moved forward, at this moment, a call came from the carriage in the middle, the old man heard the voice, hesitated, and finally had to obey the woman's order, before turning around, the old man looked at the young man with a sallow face, and he had already moved to kill.

The bald old man walked to the window of the carriage in the middle and took a silver ticket of 10,000 taels.

The old man understood what his master meant.

The old man walked between the two fighting factions, held a silver ticket in his hand, and shouted, "My master is willing to pay 10,000 taels for the lives of these six people." ”

Everyone was shocked, even the thin young man who said that he had never been short of money came to his senses, and looked at the bald old man with a smile, in fact, his eyes were mainly focused on the silver ticket, and the thin young man said, "These people are not worth so much money." ”

The strong man stabilized his body and said with emotion, "I didn't expect there to be such a good person in the world, but he is right, we are all dying people, it is indeed not worth so much money, master, we understand your intentions, and when we die, please bury the young master's body, and we will die without regrets, brothers, avenge the young master!"

The strong man took the lead in rushing out, and after cutting down two people in succession, he was directly cut off by the swordsman who had been hiding in the shadows, and the strong man's head was kicked to the feet of the bald old man, and the old man looked at the dead head in a daze, unable to say a word.

The swordsman wiped the blood from his sword, and the rest of the people died under his sword.

The swordsman looked at the silver ticket in the bald old man's hand and sneered, "Master, if you give me the money, I will help you bury them, you see, is this deal worth it?"

The bald old man raised his head, already in tears, only to see him put the silver ticket on the head on the ground, and when he stood up again, he was full of murderous anger, and said word by word, "You are looking for death!"

The bald old man held the Qinglong Zen staff in his left hand, one hand erected in front of his chest, the chanting sounded, and the speed of the palm was as fast as lightning, and the swordsman did not understand what was going on, he was already slapped in the chest by a palm, and the palm penetrated the swordsman's body, and the swordsman was also dead and dead.

It wasn't until now that the thin young man showed a hint of panic, and he was able to transfer his father to his side, and the swordsman of the Mountain Realm who protected him was killed with one palm, which showed the strength of the old monk, he hurriedly pulled out the sword that was placed under his buttocks, pointed at the bald old man who was walking slowly towards him, and shouted, "Kill him..."

The middle-aged man smiled but did not speak, stepped out, the fist came to the old man in an instant, the old man dodged sideways, and continued to walk towards the thin young man, the middle-aged man turned his body in the air, fell to the ground, the hand behind his back, suddenly stretched forward, threw out a small silver needle from the ring, in the sun, a little white light flashed away, the middle-aged man put out a boxing fight, stepped on the ground, his body took off, and shot towards the old man, the bald old man held the green dragon Zen staff, gently smashed on the ground, a gust of wind blew, the silver needle was directly swept away, with the fist of the middle-aged man。

The middle-aged man was thrown directly by the breeze to the tree behind him, the big tree broke at the waist, and the middle-aged man vomited blood, and his life and death were unknown.

The thin young man kept retreating, commanding his subordinates to keep sending them to death, until everyone fell in front of him, and finally couldn't bear the fear in his heart, and shouted, "Do you know my identity, I am the only son of the Xie family, if I die here, none of you can escape." ”

A dragon head was facing the thin young man's face, ruthlessly smashing down, blood flowing down the young man's cheeks, I don't know if the last thought of the young man before he died wanted to ask himself, why didn't he practice the sword well in the first place?

"Great compassion, great kindness. ”
