After the new rain in the empty mountain, the weather is late in autumn.

The stars hang down and the plains are wide, and the moon swells and the rivers flow.

Although the two lines of the poem are a bit crooked, they are perfect for describing the current situation.

Wilderness, after rain, riverside, turbulence.

Zhao Min appeared here and asked, "What kind of place is this?" ”

Zheng Xie shrugged and said, "This should be the Yangtze River, and I don't know the specific location." ”

"This is a real wandering, let's ask someone." Zhao Min took a deep breath, the air after the rain was fresh and cool, which made people feel refreshed.

The ancient history of the world proves that the origin of all human beings originated on the banks of rivers.

The two stepped on the soft and damp soil and walked up the riverside, sweet and comfortable, like little lovers on a date.

"There are people in the river."

Through the golden moonlight, Zheng Xie looked at the river, and suddenly saw a white figure floating in the river.

Zhao Min said: "It seems that there are three people together, and they will be fished up and seen." ”

Zheng Xie nodded, tread the water, shook the black iron chain, wrapped it around the waist of the man in white, and pulled it to the shore.

Among the three, dressed in white was a beautiful woman with a dignified and beautiful appearance, elegant and refined, not like a mortal thing in the world, she had passed out in a coma, and her body was stiff.

The other two were a pair of down-and-out teenagers of sixteen or seventeen years old, who had been tossing and turning in the river for a long time, and they were exhausted, and they were on the riverside without a figure, and they didn't even bother to turn over.

Zhao Min put a touch in front of the nose of the woman in white, pressed her wrist pulse again, and said, "This person is still breathing, it seems that he has suffered serious internal injuries, and his pulse is very weak." ”

Zheng Xie took a closer look and said: "This is a very clever turtle breath healing technique, now her six senses are closed, her internal breath is running on its own, and she is in a state of retreat as described by Taoism, in this state, her internal injuries can recover ten times faster, and she will be able to wake up in more than an hour." ”

Zhao Min glanced at her in surprise and said, "I didn't expect that the first person I met would have such a clever secret technique." ”

At this time, the two teenagers had already sat up, and one of them said, "Thank you two benefactors for rescuing, otherwise the three of us would have died." ”

Zhao Min secretly wondered, these two teenagers clearly did not know martial arts, why would they drift on the river with a woman in white with strong martial arts, and said, "Who are you?" ”

The man said: "My name is Yu Wenzhong, and his name is Yu Wenling." ”

Zhao Min said in his heart, this is most likely a fake name, and asked, "Where is this?" ”

"Yangzhou." "Danyang." The two said.

Zhao Min snorted: "Two boys are looking for death, if you say a lie again, I will throw you back into the river." ”

Yuwen Zhong said: "Sister benefactor, don't!" Let me say, this is between Danyang and Yangzhou, and the two of us drank water in the river for a long time, and we don't know if this is the boundary of Yangzhou or Danyang. ”

Zhao Min asked some more things, and the two of them answered plausibly, but there was a certain amount of truth, which made people more confused.

Zheng Xie's heart moved, his eyes lit up, and he looked at the two of them back and forth, as if he wanted to see through their hearts.

"What does this brother keep watching us do?" The two of them were a little uncomfortable with him, and said in a crepe manner.

Zheng Xie said: "If I guessed correctly, you should be called Kou Zhong, and your name is Xu Ziling." ”

The two teenagers looked at each other, shouted in unison, and ran.

It's just that they don't understand martial arts at all, and they soak in the river for a long time, how can they run fast.

Zheng Xie raised his hand and shook it, and the black iron chain wrapped around Xu Ziling's neck, pulling him back, and said at the same time: "Stop." ”

Kou Zhong stopped suddenly.

Xu Ziling only felt that it was difficult to breathe, and shouted loudly: "Zhong Shao, run quickly, remember to avenge me in the future." ”

Zheng Xie said unhurriedly: "If you take one more step, I will strangle him." "The Recipe for Longevity" should be on you, whether you want a brother or "The Recipe for Longevity", you choose one. ”

Kou Zhong walked back very boldly, presented the treasure book with both hands, and said, "Give our brother a good time!" ”

Zheng Xie said: "What do I want your life for?" ”

Kou Zhong was surprised: "You are not from Yu Wenji? ”

"Don't pretend to be stupid, you should also see that if we had anything to do with Yu Wenhua, we would have arrested you a long time ago to receive the reward." Zheng Xie laughed, his wrist flicked, and the black iron chain was withdrawn.

Xu Ziling coughed a few times and said, "Zhong Shao, why did you come back." ”

"Ling Shao, don't worry, I think these two kind-hearted big brothers and beautiful sisters are definitely not bad people, and they will never kill our two powerless boys." Kou Zhong squeezed his eyebrows and said, Xinfu, it's not that I don't want to run, it's that I can't run at all.

Xu Ziling said loudly: "What Zhong Shao said is reasonable, if it was a bad person, he would not have rescued us before." ”

Zheng Xie didn't care that they were acting together, but just spread out "The Secret of Eternal Life" and browsed it by the moonlight.

Zhao Min leaned over, looked at the seven meridian diagrams in the book curiously, and said, "This is the secret of martial arts?" ”

Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling both closed their voices at the same time, and their ears quickly stood up.

Zheng Xie said: "Yes, and it's not an ordinary martial arts secret." "The Recipe for Longevity" is a Taoist treasure book, which is said to have been written by Guangchengzi, the teacher of the Yellow Emperor in ancient times, in an oracle bone inscription, which is in no way inferior to any kind of martial arts we know. ”

Zhao Min was surprised: "Is it really so wonderful? ”

Zheng Xie said: "Just looking at this book, you can know that the rumors are true, even if it is not written by the emperor Guangchengzi, it is also created by an ancient man with great power that penetrates the heavens and the earth." ”

Then he sighed and said: "It's a pity that no one has practiced this book since it was completed, so it has been regarded as an ordinary health care scripture." ”

Zhao Min said: "Do you know how to practice? ”

But this time, Zheng Xie shook his head and said, "I only know that if you want to practice the kung fu of "Longevity", you need a great opportunity and a very high understanding surname, both of which are indispensable. ”

Zhao Minqi said: "Even you don't know." ”

Zheng Xie said: "I'm not an immortal, so it's not strange if I don't know." However, although it can't be practiced, it's good to learn from it. ”

Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling couldn't help but feel disappointed, and quickly cheered up again. Secret way, others can't practice, we may not be able to practice.

Zheng Xie kept the seven pairs of meridians in his heart, and began to read the small words in the book, these are the experiences left by the previous masters of the "Recipe for Longevity", all of them are great masters of martial arts, and the words left behind are enough for future generations to use for a lifetime.

Tell a word of truth, spread thousands of words falsely. Sometimes a sentence can save others ten years of hard work.

Every sentence in the book, Zheng Xie remembered it in his heart and experienced it carefully.

Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling tossed for a day, sleepy, tired and hungry, lying down bored, and fell asleep after a while.

Zhao Min looked at it for a while, then nestled in Zheng Xie's arms and closed his eyes to rest.

After more than an hour, Zheng Xie closed the book, and a smile flowed from the corner of his mouth, as if he had gained.

The woman in white's breathing suddenly increased, and her eyes opened sharply.

"Girl, you're awake." Zheng Xie said lightly.

The woman in white was, of course, Fu Junwu, the first apprentice of Fu Cailin, the master of Yijian, she sat up, looked at her surroundings, looked at Zheng Xie with phoenix eyes, and said, "Who are you?" ”

Zheng Xie smiled: "Wanderer." ”

Fu Junwu glanced at the Yitian Sword he was holding in his hand and said, "Swordsman? ”

Zheng Xie shook his head and said, "Occasionally play." ”

Fu Junwu frowned, in the hearts of those who make swords, swords are sacred. This nonchalant attitude made her very disdainful. She herself was not used to staying with Han Chinese, so she got up and was about to leave.

Zheng Xie said: "I saved your life, and it is too rude to leave without saying thank you." ”

Fu Junwu didn't stop walking, and said, "I don't need you to save me at all." ”

Zheng Xie said: "If you don't thank you, forget it, but there is still a word to send it off." Middle-earth is too dangerous, so the girl should go back to Goryeo. ”

Fu Junwu looked back suddenly, pressed her hand on the hilt of the sword, her eyes shot like electricity, and said, "You save me once, I will spare you once." I hope I don't run into it again next time. ”

After speaking, he walked through the forest.

Zhao Min smiled disapprovingly: "Master Zheng also has a time to eat turtles. ”

Zheng Xie said: "Do you really think I am a love saint?" ”

Zhao Min nodded heavily and said, "At least it's a flower thief." ”

As the night passed, the clouds opened and the weather cleared.

Kou Zhong woke up hungry, rubbed his gurgling belly, and said, "Ling Shao, we're not dead." ”

Xu Ziling said: "Will the stomach of a dead person still scream? ”

Kou Zhong said with a bitter face: "If we don't fill our stomachs, we will not be killed by the male and female thieves, and we will also starve to death." When did they leave? ”

Xu Ziling said: "How do I know, when I wake up, there will only be the two of us." ”

Kou Zhong shouted, "Oh no, he snatched our cheats." ”

Xu Ziling raised the book in his hand and said, "Oh, here." ”

"It's okay, it's okay." Kou Zhong took the "Recipe for Longevity" and rolled his eyes twice, and said strangely: "How could they leave the cheats behind, could it be that the cheats are fake, he was lying to us yesterday?" ”

Xu Ziling said: "What do we have to deceive." I don't know why he left the cheats, maybe it's just a coincidence. ”

Kou Zhong picked up the "Secret of Longevity" and said, "Now it's better to find a way to sacrifice the Five Organs Temple first, otherwise you can only go to the underworld to find an opportunity." ”

……

Danyang City.

Zheng Xie and Zhao Min took a turn around the wharf, and the westbound fleet turned around one after another, redirecting the goods to land for customs entry.

All the fleets from the north to the south are gathered here.

Countless people who wanted to go south on the ship were just as disappointed as they were.

Zhao Min said: "I heard that it was Li Zitong's righteous army in the East China Sea who crossed the Huaishui and fought with the Sui army in the Liyang area. These merchants are watching and do not dare to enter the water easily. Now only the flotilla from the west is coming, but the flotilla from this side cannot pass. The waterway is impassable, and if you want to go to Jiujiang, you can only take the land route. ”

Zheng Xie said: "Don't worry, not all fleets are afraid of things, naturally some people dare to go west." ”

Zhao Min said: "Then let's wait here?" ”

Zheng Xie said: "No, let's go back to the inn first." ”

When he arrived at the inn, Zheng Xie called the shopkeeper, stuffed him with a piece of silver, and said, "You help me keep an eye on your friend, Song Valve's fleet will come to inform me when it arrives, if you miss my big event, I will definitely kill you." ”

"Don't worry, guest officer, the villain's cousin is looking at the goods at the dock, and he will definitely not miss your big event."

The guy nodded and swore an oath.

In the afternoon of the next day, Song Valve's fleet sailed to Danyang Wharf. (To be continued.) )
