Chapter 120: Angelica Angelica
Chen Letian said to Qin Tieniu half comforting and half encouraging, everyone has times when they are ignorant, and it is good to come over. Your current results also prove that you are not incapable, and that as long as you work hard, you can do better than most people. In the future, if we continue to maintain it, how high we can go depends on the creation.
Qin Tieniu nodded and said, do your best and obey the destiny of heaven. First do what you can do in place, this is the foundation. Thank you, thank you.
Chen Letian took Qin Tieniu's arm and said: "Our brothers won't say polite words, there is still a long way to go, and we have enough time to be a good help to each other." ”
The next day, Chen Letian got up and went to Wudang.
Time always passed quietly without people noticing, and I stayed on Wudang Mountain for another month. Chen Letian fought against poison in the Heavenly Dao Cliff every day as usual.
Xu Xiao, the uncle who taught Li Xuantong, didn't stay long in the mountains before he started to travel again. Before leaving, Xu Dazhen didn't want anyone to see him off, let everyone do their own thing, don't send him, and only let Chen Letian accompany him down the mountain.
Chen Letian led the old but arrogant brown-haired thin horse for him, and followed Xu Dazhen step by step down the mountain.
"Uncle Shi, thank you for your suggestion in the sea of knowledge, the disciple is grateful. Chen Letian sincerely thanked him.
Xu Dazhen smiled and said: "Lao Dao is happy, Lao Dao is very happy every time he sees a young man like you who works hard, so he can't help but help you." In the future, you can get more Jiannan Burning Spring for me to drink, it can be regarded as repaying the kindness, haha!"
Chen Letian smiled: "It's full... However, Uncle Shi, you travel all day long, and I can't keep up with the wine I want to send to you!" After thinking about it, he took out the 1,000 taels of silver tickets he specially brought from home from his arms, and said: "Uncle Shi, this is the disciple's filial piety to you, how can you do it when you go out and have no money on you." ”
"This..."Xu Xiao looked left and right, hesitated for a long time, and then quickly took the silver ticket and put it in his arms, and immediately returned to his righteous and awe-inspiring appearance, and said: "Lotte, I said that I didn't misunderstand you, sure enough..."
Chen Letian asked about his future practice, and Xu Dazhen gave him four words, 'not impatient, not impatient', and then did not explain, let Chen Letian understand it by himself.
Chen Letian asked about Xu Xiao's travels again, and said that he was also very interested in traveling, but he didn't have time at the moment. Xu Xiao said that travel is the path that any practitioner must go through if he wants to improve his cultivation. Our Confucian students of the Great Song Dynasty, as long as they are admitted to the children's students, no matter whether they can be promoted to the upper ranks in the future, don't they all have to go out to travel. Therefore, this travel is indispensable. If you don't go out to see and see, like a caged bird, you will never know how big the outside world is.
After hearing this, Chen Letian nodded and said, "Don't worry, Uncle Shi, I will take time to travel."
Sent to the foot of the mountain, Xu Xiao waved his hand, pulled the old horse, and walked leisurely.
"Uncle Shi is careful on the road and come back as soon as possible. Chen Letian watched the person and the horse drift away, and said loudly.
"Let it be, and there is no limit to the way. Xu Dazhen waved his hand and dropped eight words.
Three days later, Xu Dazhen and Lao Ma came to a small village called Angelica.
The reason why Angelica Village is called this name is because when the Nine Kingdoms were fighting for hegemony, there was a year and a day when the imperial court conscripted, and all adult men over the age of 15 in this village were conscripted.
The parents, wives and children at home have been looking forward to it for decades, the parents have survived, the wives have also died, the children have grown up, and still no one is looking forward to coming back, but they are only looking forward to the rich pension of the imperial court and the reward of the battlefield who died in battle.
The children are now adults. In memory of their father, who gave his life to defend his country, the children changed the name of the village to Angelica.
Angelica Angelica, when you return, the descendants should still be there!
Leading the thin horse, when Xu Xiao walked to the entrance of the village, two eight or nine-year-old children who were playing on the ground saw Xu Dazhen and jumped forward happily: "Grandpa Xu is here, we all miss you!"
"I miss you too, go, accompany me to meet the third grandmother..."Xu Xiao touched the heads of the two children and led them to the village.
Xu Xiao was not wearing a robe at this time, he was dressed in clean and refreshing casual clothes, his beard was white, and he looked like a rich old man with a healthy body and a kind face. He was dressed the same as he had when he first came here a year ago.
A year ago, he chased an elder of the Xiling faction, and the elder fled here and disappeared, Xu Xiao searched the village for several days, without a clue. So he suspected that there was a stronghold of the Xiling faction in this village.
The reason why Xu Xiao was chasing that Xiling faction elder was not just because the Xiling faction was a demonic crooked way. There are other reasons for this.
It is said that when he passed through Nankaicheng, he happened to meet this Xiling faction elder who was killing people, and the target of the killing was the mother and son who were powerless.
Xu Xiao naturally couldn't stand by when he saw this scene, and went up to inquire only to find out that the mother and son were the wife and son of Cheng in Nankaicheng County. In the third month of Nankai County's tenure, he defeated the Qi family, the biggest powerful man in Nankai City, who did all kinds of evil. Qi Chong, the head of the Qi family, hated the county Cheng to the core, so he found his friend who had been attached for many years, the great elder of the Xiling faction, and spent a lot of money to ask the great elder to destroy the county Cheng family.
In front of Chongli, the Great Elder agreed.
However, he didn't expect that the county Cheng seemed to have expected Qi to find someone to kill him, and hid his wife and son early. When the Great Elder found the county Cheng, the county Cheng smiled calmly, raised his head and said, "Hurry up, let's do it, we can make the people peaceful, what is my life!"
After killing the county Cheng, the great elder looked for the county Cheng's wife and children everywhere, because Qi Zhong made it clear that all three members of the county Cheng's family must be killed in order to give all the final payment, otherwise only half of it can be given.
The Great Elder looked for more than half a month, had no clue, and was about to give up, but he didn't expect to see the county Cheng's wife in the vegetable market by chance. So the Great Elder followed Mrs. Cheng all the way to a remote place in the suburbs. Only then did I know that Mrs. County Cheng and her son had been hiding here, preparing to wait for the rumors to pass before returning to their hometown.
The Great Elder was happy in his heart, and now he was rich, and the 10,000 taels of gold promised by Qi Zhong had arrived.
was about to attack the county's wife and children, but was stopped by Xu Xiao, who was dressed in a shabby robe.
After a few moves, the Great Elder was shocked by the advanced cultivation of this old Taoist priest, and immediately made a wise choice and ran!
The Xiling Sect is the scum of the cultivation world, and everyone in the cultivation world agrees on this. However, Xu Xiao didn't think so, he felt that although the Xiling faction itself did something that damaged Yin Virtue, it was all something you and I wanted, and they didn't force anyone to forcibly exchange anyone's Shouyuan for cultivation. Xu Xiao felt that the reason why the Xiling faction existed was mainly because of those who wanted to take shortcuts, because they didn't want to take the right path and wanted to be quick, so the Xiling faction came into being.
After a few days of investigation, Xu Xiao found that the only inn in Angelica Village was the stronghold of the Xiling faction here. The inn was opened 20 years ago, and a gambling house was also opened in the inn, and a group of people who specialize in usury and harm the people of Angelica Village have been raised. Angelica Village, which was originally upright, has had a gambling house, and many honest and diligent peasant children have been contaminated with gambling, so they no longer have the heart to farm, and they have been soaking in the gambling house all day long.
Xu Xiao thought about it for a long time, and decided to destroy the Xiling faction's stronghold in the township. So one early in the morning, a man called on the door. At first, there were many people who resisted, but then the Great Elder asked in surprise: "May I ask where the real person is?" The Great Elder estimated that the person who wore a Taoist robe could have this cultivation, either Caolu or Wudang was a real person with an identity, no matter which side it was, he couldn't afford to provoke it.
Xu Xiao said: "Wudang!"
The word Wudang was exported, and the disciples of the Xiling faction scattered one after another. The Great Elder also wanted to run, but he had already been noticed by Xu Xiao and pressed to the ground. "I left you alive today, not because you didn't deserve to die, but because I made a fortune this morning, and it is not appropriate to kill. So for the time being, as long as you have one leg and one arm!" After that, Xu Xiao smashed one arm and one leg of the Great Elder, and all the meridian bones were crushed, even if the immortals were alive, they could not be restored.
The great elder of the Xiling Sect did not dare to have any complaints, so he could only endure and thank the real person for not killing.
"Let me tell you, if I find traces of your Xiling faction in Angelica Village again, don't blame me for being ruthless!" Xu Xiao said.
The Great Elder stood up, jumped out on one leg, and turned his head when he reached the door, hesitating and stopping.
Xu Xiao sneered: "I want to ask who I am? Go back and ask your sect leader if you want me to go to him for tea. ”
The Great Elder was so frightened that he crooked, prostrate on the ground, kowtowed a few times, and kept saying: "The great real person is angry, it's the villain who has eyes and doesn't know Mount Tai, the villain should die!"
Then Xu Xiao suddenly remembered an important matter, and called the great elder to find out the land deeds and house deeds that he had collected from the villagers of Angelica Village over the years.
The Great Elder, who had become crippled, dared not comply. I found the congregants who had not yet escaped, and found all the title deeds.
A large stack of title deeds and house deeds were placed in front of Xu Xiao's eyes.
Xu Xiao didn't know if they were all here, but he didn't dare to lie to himself, so he waved his hand and said, "You all go, if this land deed is wrong, I will go to your sect leader for tea." When the time comes, I will ask you congregants who have been in Angelica Village to die to apologize. ”
The Great Elder and the rest of the sect members swore to the sky with tears and snot in their eyes, unless someone fills their own pockets, all the land deeds and property deeds are here, and if we have the slightest deception, we will not die well when the sky thunders!
Xu Xiao didn't want to talk to them much and let them go.
