Among the Seven Realms, those who have cultivated to the advanced level know that the entrance and exit of the human world is in the Han Valley, the entry into the valley is the human world, and the exit from the valley is Hongmeng.

But few people know that the reason why Hangu is called Hangu is to take the meaning of yin and yang.

Outside the world, is a heaven and earth array, called the Eight Gates Golden Lock Array, the Eight Gates, for the Door of Rest, the Gate of Life, the Gate of Injury, the Gate of Du, the Gate of Scenery, the Gate of Death, the Gate of Shock, and the Door of Opening.

This array is a million in circumference, containing mountains and rivers, Zhong Ling is handsome, but there are few people.

In wartime, the eight doors are fully open, turning yin and yang, and reversing life and death, which is the last line of defense in the human world.

On weekdays, there are only two doors, one is closed, the other is the view door, the view door is out, and the door is closed.

In the center of this array, there is a big mountain, which is the location of the eye of the array, and it is also the fundamental place of the human world.

This mountain is named after "Han", it is a million, the top of the mountain is a hundred miles, the terrain is flat, the bluestone is paved, a bronze hall stands there alone in the center, there is nothing else.

This bronze hall is the main body of the human world's leading hall.

The entrance to Hangu is not in this bronze hall, but at the foot of this Hanshan Mountain.

Huang Pu walked out of the bronze hall with the steel hammer, and the steel hammer did not stop for a moment, and took Huang Pu to the foot of the mountain.

When Huang Pu saw the stone tablet with "Hangu" written on the face at the foot of the mountain, he knew that he had finally arrived at the legendary Hangu.

For this stone stele, the steel hammer "Wang" called twice, and in an instant, the stele emitted a hazy light, gently wrapped a person and a dog, and then, the brilliance flashed, and a person and a dog disappeared.

When he reappeared, he had already arrived at the entrance of Hangu, Gangyi glanced at Huang Pu, and then Sa Huan seemed to run into the valley and no longer paid attention to Huang Pu.

Huang Pu stopped at the mouth of the valley for a moment, and then walked into the valley with a solemn face and a proper manner.

In the valley, the small bridge and flowing water, the breeze supports the willows all over the flowers, line with it, suddenly feel relaxed and happy, follow the path in the valley not far away, a delicate garden and flowers loom in the flowers, a young girl in front of the door is slim, is looking at him with a smile.

Huang Pu stepped forward, hugged his fists and bowed deeply, and said respectfully: "Junior Huang Pu, the family teacher Tuoba Pifu, meet the eighth uncle." ”

The girl smiled and asked, "Why do you call me Eighth Uncle?"

Huang Pu replied: "The family teacher once said that there are eight people in the Han Valley, and they are good friends of Qin and Jin, and the friendship of Jinlan, the family teacher is three, and the teacher is four. In addition to the teacher, there is only one female uncle in the seniors, and the uncle is eight, so he is called the eighth uncle. ”

This woman is Tianqiao star Cheng Sanniang, Cheng Sanniang looked at the white-haired, simple-faced, neatly dressed young man in front of her, nodded faintly, and secretly thought: The apprentice accepted by the third brother is extraordinary, not only meticulous in his words, not leaking, but also sincere, neither humble nor arrogant. What's more, this doll's foundation is extremely solid, and when the opportunity comes, it is not surprising that it is another master who preaches the Tao and crosses the seven tribulations.

Thinking like this, Cheng Sanniang continued: "In this way, it is appropriate to call me the eighth uncle, let's talk about it, why did you come alone, your master?"

Huang Pu said: "The master still has important things to do, so he sent his nephew to ask the master for help." ”

Cheng Sanniang didn't know why, so she asked, "With your master's lazy temperament, what can matter?"

Huang Pu replied truthfully: "The second senior sister was seriously injured and is still unconscious, and the third senior brother was kidnapped by thieves, and his life and death are still unknown. ”

When Cheng Sanniang heard this, she immediately knew the seriousness of the matter, so she didn't say more, but just said: "Your master is in the fourth courtyard ahead, go and look for her." ”

Huang Pu hugged his fists again and bowed, and said: "Thank you Eighth Uncle for showing you the way, my nephew will go here and visit you another day." ”

Cheng Sanniang waved her hand and did not answer, Huang Pu said goodbye to Cheng Sanniang and walked forward.

Looking at Huang Pu's back, Cheng Sanniang muttered: "Who is so bold that he dares to offend the third brother, is he impatient?"

Huang Pu didn't hear Cheng Sanniang's whisper, at this moment, he just wanted to see Shi Niang as soon as possible, because although he saw three courtyards along the way, but when he saw that the gate was closed, he didn't go to visit, but came straight to the fourth courtyard that Cheng Sanniang said.

There is nothing surprising about this courtyard, it is similar to the courtyard where Tuoba Pifu lives in Peach Blossom Island. When he was on Peach Blossom Island, the master's courtyard Huang Pu came and went at will, but here, Huang Pu didn't dare, because although the courtyard door was wide open, Huang Pu still stopped in front of the door, and reported loudly: "Disciple Huang Pu, is the fourth disciple of Tuoba Pifu, and now on the order of the family teacher, I have come to see the master, please let the master meet." ”

After speaking, he leaned over and clenched his fists, stood and waited, not much, and a heroic female voice came from inside the door: "Come in." ”

Huang Pu took a deep breath, stepped into the small courtyard, looked around, and saw a stone table in the small courtyard at first glance, the tea on the table was fragrant, the fragrance was faint, and a man and a woman sat opposite each other at the table.

The woman's peerless posture is also heroic, and the man's lupine scarf is fluttering and independent.

Huang Pu knew at a glance that the woman was his own sister, Tiangang Xing Lin Lan, and the man must be his second uncle, Tianji Star Lu Chang.

On the side of Shi Niang, Huang Pu can only visit Shi Niang first, yes, Huang Pu walked two steps quickly, knelt down first, and said: "Disciple Huang Pu, meet Shi Niang." ”

Lin Lan said, "You get up." ”

Huang Pu thanked him, stood up, stood solemnly with his hands down, and stood aside respectfully, without saying much, waiting for Lin Lan's question. In this action, there is nothing to fault with his posture and demeanor.

When Lin Lan saw Huang Pu for the first time, he felt from the bottom of his heart that he was close to Huang Pu for no reason, just because Huang Pu was a disciple of Tuoba Pifu, so that is, his own disciple, was a family.

Coupled with Huang Pu's style of doing things, he has the style of a gentleman, which impresses Lin Lan even more. Not to mention Huang Pu's qualifications.

Overall, when they met for the first time, Lin Lan was satisfied with Huang Pu and couldn't be more satisfied.

Yes, Lin Lan smiled and said to Lu Chang, who was sitting next to him, "Second brother, what do you think of these four apprentices in my family?"

Lu Chang shook the feather fan, stared at Huang Pu intently, the more he looked at it, the brighter his eyes became, and finally stroked his palms and sighed: "It's a pity, it's a pity." ”

Hearing this, Huang Pu's face was indifferent, without sorrow or joy, but Lin Lan raised her willow eyebrows and asked, "What is a pity, isn't this kid bad." ”

Lu Chang smiled: "It's not bad, it's too good." ”

Lin Lan said: "What's the pity?"

Lu Chang said: "It's a pity that the talent of this child is too good, it's a pity that my brother didn't take the first step to accept this child as an apprentice, with this child's talent, I was the best candidate to inherit my mantle at that time." ”

Hearing what Lu Chang said, Lin Lan was still unhappy, and asked herself: "What, what the second brother means is that my family's Tianyan is not as good as yours." ”

Faced with Lin Lan's question, Lu Chang smiled and did not answer, but said to Huang Pu: "Boy, what do you think?"

Huang Pu said respectfully: "The second uncle's method of finding opportunities is really unpredictable, and he has calculated the purpose of his nephew's visit this time, and his nephew admires it. ”

Lin Lan was stunned when she heard this, and keenly discovered the mystery in Huang Pu and Lu Chang's words, so she asked Huang Pu: "What do you mean?" ”

Subsequently, Huang Pu told the story of what had happened recently.

After Lin Lan heard this, he said angrily: "That Mu Batian is so ignorant of the height of the sky, I think he is impatient." And your master, have you lived to be a dog all these years? You can't even protect your own apprentices. ”

Huang Pu said: "The master is angry, the master said that this is the fate of the senior brother and sister, and it is beyond the power of man, and it is only afraid that it will backfire." Now, the world is personally taken care of by the Master, and it should be fine, and the top priority now is to find the third senior brother. ”

Lin Lan calmed down a little and said, "So, your master asked you to come here to learn the method of finding opportunities than the second master?"

Huang Pu said: "Exactly, Master said, Tianyan and Opportunity Seeking have their own merits, and in the art of finding people, the method of Seeking Opportunity is unique. ”

After saying this, before Lin Lan could speak, Lu Chang said: "Of course you can learn my method of seeking opportunities, but you have to worship me as a teacher." ”

When Huang Pu heard this, he smiled slightly, did not answer, and returned to his previous demeanor, standing solemnly with his hands down, without saying a word.

Seeing this, Lu Chang secretly thought: This kid is so smart, at this moment, no matter what he says, it is wrong, it is better to be silent and throw the problem at Lin Lan, in this way, this is not his business, but Lin Lan and his own business.

Sure enough, Lin Lan was angry and shouted, "What's the matter, second brother, are you going to pry the corner of your little sister?"

Lu Chang said: "Of course not, I just want this kid to worship me as a teacher, and I don't want him to change his court." The third brother is still the master of this kid. ”

Lin Lan said: "That's not good, my family's apprentice is my family's apprentice, and no one can touch it." ”

Lu Chang: "But ......"

Lin Lan: "But what is it, the method of seeking opportunities, you have to teach it, and you have to teach it if you don't teach it." If you don't teach, I'll go to the eldest brother and let the eldest brother call the shots. ”

Lu Chang is helpless, as the saying goes, when Xiucai meets a soldier, he can't explain it clearly, this statement, no matter how far he practices, is a wise saying.

Lu Chang knew that if he insisted, Lin Lan would have no choice, but after many years of brother and sister, how could he impress the relationship between brother and sister because of this little thing, so he could only respond helplessly.

So, Lu Chang shook his head and stood up, walked towards the courtyard gate, and when he passed by Huang Pu's side, he said to Huang Pu casually: "Boy, come with me." ”

In Lin Lan's smug laughter, Huang Pu bowed down, then bid farewell to Lin Lan, followed Lu Chang, and walked out of the courtyard gate.
