After a snowfall, the sun shines on the stone lion at the gate of Baifu, which is particularly dazzling, and the steward Huang who walked out of the corridor squinted, stopped and looked at it for a long time, and then thought:

"Compared to the pill the size of a little thumb when I was two years old, this time it is already half the size of a baby's fist, and my son is afraid that he will not be able to swallow it..."

Huang Go, the foreign affairs housekeeper of Baifu, was an orphan in Feng County, Maruzhou, who earned a living by cleaning in a private school, with a good heart, grew up eating 100 meals before the age of ten, but he was slightly thinner than his peers, and he contributed to the neighborhood since he was a child, and he was deeply liked by the old people in the alley. When he was ten years old, a cadre of the Tongyun faction in Lanzhou waited for a cadre to go down the mountain to fight the sword warrior, and was looked at by the three elders of the Tongyun faction, and the three elders who were in the prime of life asked in high spirits whether Huang Go, who had no name but was laughed at by the villagers as the yellow dog, was willing to be his founding disciple, Huang Hu was a little dizzy, and he didn't know why this hero in the village looked down on him, but he also knew the simple truth that the opportunity would not come again. Then he bowed his head and shouted: "I dare not quit in front of the opportunity, disciple Yellow Dog, meet the teacher!" Youzi Zhen laughed: "The name is vulgar, it's better to change the homonym to go, and follow the teacher!" ”

Then Huang Xing, who was given the name, followed the master to the rich Tanzhou, and what he saw was a scene that Huang Lu had never seen: the red pillar golden archway about two feet high, the craftsmen who walked the street, all kinds of sour, spicy, sweet and salty delicacies and the mellow wine that could only be smelled but not drunk... But among them, the most memorable thing for Huang Go is more than a dozen Jinyi guards dressed in gold armor leaves and carrying standard war knives at their waists, these Jinyi guards saw that the Tongyun faction was carrying a long sword and hanging a jade plate from the mountain gate, and they still confirmed the identity of everyone without humility or arrogance, and won the heart of the young man with his calmness and calmness in his gestures.

After all the way, Huang walked up the stairs of the mountain gate to Tongyun Mountain, followed the three elders into the ancestral hall to burn incense, followed the little brother of the three elders as a boy to learn boxing and stick method, and also followed the teacher to read and practice calligraphy when the wandering son Zhen was on the mountain. In the following years, there were a few more juniors, all of whom taught martial arts on behalf of Huang Xiang, and those who could go back and forth under Huang Xiang for five times could go to the ancestral hall to burn incense. Time has passed, and it has been 20 years since I went up the mountain in a blink of an eye.

Over the years, the master and apprentice have gathered less and scattered, and everyone is accustomed to it.

At the beginning of his career, Huang Xing was already a master of the younger generation of the Tongyun faction, and the two-way seventy-two-style cloud palm was dialed in a row, and it was already quite popular; The stick method of walking all the way has also been passed down by the three elders. It's just that the eldest disciple who has never gone down the mountain since he was ten years old will inevitably have some flaws in his heart. The three elders applied to the Council of Elders, and handed over to Huang to take the younger generation down the mountain to practice, and in case of injustice, they just had to take out the palm and stick, and if they couldn't beat it, they just reported to the mountain gate, and the elders of several generations had no objections, and the matter was finalized. However, Huang walked inevitably a little hesitantly, thinking that the sinister people under the mountain were unpredictable, and thinking about going down the mountain to see the good scenery outside, but the little uncle repeatedly persuaded him, and it was not good to be disobedient, so he had to bring dry food, drink water, and broken silver, and don't have a good jade card from the mountain gate around his waist, and went down the mountain with the three junior disciples and the second elder's little disciple Sun Fuming.

It is worth mentioning that Sun Fuming, the closed disciple of the second master, is a son of a family, and his father is the deputy envoy of Maruzhou. At that time, he was eighteen years old, and he was a boy but not annoying. Receiving people and things is even more leaky. Before he got down to the mountain gate, he asked respectfully, "Senior Brother Huang, is there any training arrangement for going down the mountain?" Huang walked and stopped, turned around and replied: "There has been no arrangement, the master said that the training period is one year, and there is no delay in returning to the mountain gate." ”

Sun Fuming nodded.

Huang walked and stopped, thought for a while and said: "The master told the disciple that Senior Brother Sun is a handsome man, and he has the style of respect, and everything will obey the ideas of the junior brother after going down the mountain." ”

When Sun Fuming heard this answer, he was quite complacent, stroked his palms and smiled: "The third uncle has tormented the nephew, if Senior Brother Huang has not planned to arrange, you can first find a village along the Dao River, sell some wine, and then spend money to buy an ox cart and ploughing cattle, and take a car down the river for ten days to reach my hometown of Wutong City, Maruzhou, when you will be a guest at the little brother's house, the food and wine are enough, after the wine and food are full, you can go out for a walk, the Hongyue Tower and the Miaoyin archway in the city, you senior brothers are also not to go away... After fulfilling the friendship of the landlord, the younger brother's master would leave me in the city to accompany the doorman of the family to do some learning, in order to gain fame. If you are too busy to panic, you can help train some of the little guys in the house, although they are quite good at writing fists and feet, but they are naturally not worth mentioning in front of the senior brothers... Then we went south along the voyage, took a boat to the capital, saw the prosperity of this side of the world, and then passed by the city and the humble city, you can also get off the boat to see it, as long as you don't delay the younger brother to go to Beijing to catch the exam. ”

After Sun Fuming finished speaking, he saw that everyone was stunned, and no one nodded in agreement, a little annoyed. Huang Go is still one of these people who can observe words and feelings, seeing that Senior Brother Sun is a little uncomfortable, he said slowly: "Don't hide it from Senior Brother Sun, we have never left the mountain since we were children, take me as an example, except for the guide river in the front of the mountain more than 20 years ago, other places, unheard of, since everyone has no objections, just follow Senior Brother Sun, as for whether to go to the capital or not, I and my junior brothers will discuss it after we arrive in Wutong City?" ”

"It's all up to Senior Brother Huang, since we have decided to go to Wutong City, then let's go down the mountain and go to the lake along the forest road, and we can go straight to the Daohe River after crossing the ferry road!" Sun Fuming didn't hold his fists, but learned from the scholar to make a circle, and Huang Xiang and a few others didn't know how to return the gift.

Soon a group of five people came to the foot of the mountain, the four disciples on duty in the precept hall at the foot of the mountain made a show according to the law, read out a few rules of the mountain gate experience, and gave way to everyone with a smile, two of them respected Huang Go's martial arts character, stepped forward to say goodbye, said some precious words, the remaining two seemed to be quite familiar with Sun Fuming, a mouthful of "Sun Gongzi" called non-stop, Sun Fuming was in a good mood, as if he had returned to Wutong City, and took out a red envelope with one or two silver from his belt, Including the two disciples of the Discipline Hall who had never been close to each other, the two of them immediately showed a smile, nodded and said a few words of "let the son break the cost" and "have a good trip", and several of Huang Go's juniors showed disdainful expressions, only Huang Hu walked forward without expression, not knowing what he was thinking.

After exiting the huge mountain gate engraved with the four gilded characters of "Dial the Clouds and See Tong", Huang Xiang pinned the stick in his hand to the belt behind his waist, took the lead and bowed to the mountain gate three times, and then turned his head to Sun Fuming and asked a few junior brothers behind him a slightly surprised word: "Senior brother, I don't know if I am going to travel, do you still plan to let me wait to return to the mountain?" At this time, Sun Fuming had already taken out an unknown folding fan, opened it in a chic manner, and said with a smile: "Senior brother, why do you ask this?" ”

"Although our senior brothers are not troublesome, they have also figured out the purpose of our junior brother's trip, I'm afraid it's not under the guise of traveling, let the four of us escort us to the exam, right?" Huang Xiang asked indifferently. "Could it be that with Senior Brother Sun's skills, he is still afraid that there will be some accidents on the road?" Huang Xiang glanced at several junior disciples, and all of them showed a little unhappiness on their faces.

"The senior brother is quick to talk, which is quite what I like, but the younger brother has this plan." Sun Fuming glanced at the plaque, and then said with a smile: "Senior brother, although I learned a little from the master, how can I deal with these accidents outside?" But please rest assured, when you get to the younger brother's house, you can't run away with fifty taels of silver, if you still want to go to the capital to relax, I am willing to meet the wishes of each of you within your ability, how about it? ”

Huang walked a little hesitantly, and couldn't help but make a difficulty: when he was a child, he only swept the land for three copper coins a day, and a thousand copper coins were only one or two silver, how much did fifty taels cost! At that time, Mr. Liu's wife in the private school was only three taels of silver... He turned his head to look at the juniors, who either shook their heads or bowed their heads silently, obviously not believing Sun Fuming's conditions, how could there be such an easy amount of money, obviously this kid got carried away.

"It's a deposit." Sun Fuming took out fifty taels of silver from the package behind him and threw it to Huang Go, so he couldn't help but believe the other three. Everyone, look at me, I'll look at you, junior brother Bian Fuli began to throw a look at Huang Xing, but Huang Xing didn't pay attention. However, even the person who sealed this kind of wooden ne had a heartbeat, and Huang Go's mind to return it immediately was shaken.

Huang Xiang sighed, and after seeing that everyone's eyes were on the heavy silver tael in his hand, he coughed lightly: "Since the junior brother is so sincere, let's accompany the junior brother to go back to the house first, I am also from Maruzhou, and I have heard the rumors of Wutong Qifeng when I was young, and it is good to open my eyes in the past... Whether or not to go to Kyoto at that time, let us discuss it again. ”

"Senior brother, I love to hear this." Sun Fuming laughed and opened the fan, on which were written the six big characters "Burning incense on Tongyun Mountain", "When I get to the flower world of Wutong City, I am afraid that I have really tasted the true taste of the world." Without further ado, let's hit the road. Then the fan was flipped over, and the words "chanting under the sycamore branches" were written on the back.

Seeing that Huang still didn't move, Sun Fuming smiled indifferently, turned sideways and walked in front, "By the way, the senior brothers are not familiar with the road, so let the junior brother lead the way." As he spoke, he walked forward, although he was polite, he seemed to have gradually become an employer and a thug in his conversation.
