(10) A difficult journey

On the day of Chongyang, the weather was exceptionally sunny. After dinner, the pale white first quarter moon had risen in the east, and Li Rusi and Yin Yunming took Chai Jingnan and began to climb the opposite mountain.

In the past few days, Chai Jingnan has practiced very hard every day, and he is no longer as naughty and willful as when he was in Nanjing, Yin Yunming is happy in his heart, and his love for him is even deeper.

At this time, he had reached the halfway point of the mountain, and the moonlight had turned from white to golden yellow, and the hillside was as clean as frost. Yin Yunming saw that Chai Jingnan was already out of breath, and although it was late autumn, his face was full of sweat, so he smiled and said, "Jing'er, do you want Uncle Yin to carry you up?" ”

Chai Jingnan shook his head: "No, I can do it myself." As he spoke, he climbed up again.

Li Rusi smiled slightly when he saw this, and made a grimace at Yin Yunming.

Finally arrived at the top of the mountain, Chai Jingnan jumped excitedly: "Yo! Come up! Looking around, he shouted, "Uncle Yin, Uncle Li, it's so beautiful up there!" ”

Yin Yunming also looked into the distance: "Yes, it's really beautiful." ”

Chai Jingnan shouted again: "You can see behind the mountains where we live." ”

Li Rusi smiled: "Stand tall and see far." ”

Chai Jingnan thought for a while: "Then, Uncle Yin, can Jing'er see Beiping?" ”

Yin Yunming knew that he was thinking about King Yan again, so he said, "Beiping is still far away, in the direction of due north. Jing'er, you look this way, there is Beiping in the distance, maybe the fourth master is also looking at us on Yan Mountain at this time. ”

Chai Jingnan was pleasantly surprised: "Really?!" ”

"Of course it's true." Yin Yunming nodded.

Looking at Chai Jingnan's serious appearance looking into the distance, Li Rusi smiled knowingly, but turned his head and saw Yin Yunming looking at the west in a trance, and couldn't help but move in his heart.

The three of them were talking while admiring the moon on the mountain, but before they knew that it was the middle of the month, Chai Jingnan fell asleep in Yin Yunming's arms, and Li Rusi and Yin Yunming sat side by side on the hillside and talked quietly.

"'Thinking of your relatives every festive season', Boss Yin, do you really not want to go back?" Li Rusi asked.

Yin Yunming smiled: "Didn't you come to see your friend?" ”

"You don't have to talk about it," Li Rusi didn't buy his account, "Who doesn't know that your master Xiao Daxia and your three brothers sympathize with father and son, and they have been out for so long, why don't they go back?" ”

Yin Yunming stopped laughing, and said after a while: "How can I miss my master and the two junior brothers, I'm just afraid that I will affect them when I go back......"

When Li Rusi heard this, he smiled coldly and didn't make a sound, but Yin Yunming was uneasy when he saw him like this: "Why are you laughing like this?" ”

"I laugh at you don't treat me as a friend at all, are you really afraid of affecting the master?"

Yin Yunming was speechless again.

After a pause, Li Rusi said again: "You seem to be hiding from someone, who is it...... It's strange, the most troublesome thing in the world is the personal relationship of children, and you don't have female disciples in the Sword Gate, you won't be because of this, right? ”

Yin Yunming was a little embarrassed when he heard this: "What nonsense are you talking about?" That's not good for you, you're always smart. ”

Li Rusi smiled: "Unfortunately, my nonsense is often right. ”

Yin Yunming looked down at Chai Jingnan in his arms, and saw that he was sleeping very sweetly, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, so he took off his robe and covered him.

At this moment, I only heard Chai Jingnan muttering in a daze: "Fourth uncle, Jing'er listens to Uncle Li and Uncle Yin, practice martial arts to protect you, and never leave you again......"

Yin Yunming was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but be a little envious of this kid in his heart, he dared to say and show whoever he liked in his heart, but he ...... Thinking about it, I couldn't help but feel a cramp in my heart, and looked up at the bright moon.

Li Rusi kept looking at him, no longer saying anything, and sat aside silently......

It wasn't until the dawn that the three of them came down from the mountain.

Chai Jingnan practiced "Baduan Jin" diligently every day, Li Rusi not only healed his injuries, but also cooperated with acupuncture and herbal medicine, and a month later, the flush returned to Chai Jingnan's little face, and his body basically recovered, Yin Yunming saw it in his eyes and was happy in his heart.

After a few days, Li Rusi began to pass on his "Six Harmony Gong", which is one of the most important exercises of the Wudang Huaihe School.

More than two months have passed in the blink of an eye, and it is already the traditional Chinese New Year's Eve in our country.

Although they have not been here for a long time, Yin Yunming and Chai Jingnanye are also very familiar with the nearby villagers. On Chinese New Year's Eve, there were many people who came to pay New Year's greetings, and some sent a lot of home-grown chickens, ducks, and fish, although they were all farmhouse things, but they were very moving, if it were not for the heavy responsibility, Yin Yunming really wanted to live with such a simple person for the rest of his life, away from the chaotic world. Only then did he know the reason why Li Rusi came to settle here.

After the Shangyuan Festival, Yin Yunming had already planned to leave for Huashan, and Li Rusi prepared for him.

On the second day of February, Yin Yunming set off on the road. Li Rusi led Chai Jingnan all the way out of the mountain, and after instructing each other, Chai Jingnan asked, "Uncle Yin, when will you come back?" ”

Yin Yunming leaned down and stroked his shoulder: "Soon, when Uncle Yin finishes his errands, he will come back to find Jing'er." ”

Chai Jingnan nodded: "Jing'er is waiting for you." ”

Yin Yunming patted him on the shoulder, straightened up and said to Li Rusi: "Brother Rusi, Jing'er will entrust you." ”

Li Rusi smiled: "It's good to have Jing'er as a companion." ”

"Alright, take your leave." Nodding and smiling, Yin Yunming turned around and left Sanqing Mountain......

He didn't ride a horse, because Yin Yunming felt that with his own foot strength, riding a horse would sometimes be a burden.

On this day, I came to Boyang Town, which is not far from Poyang Lake, because it is located at the confluence of three rivers, so there are rivers everywhere. Yin Yunming wanted to find a place to eat, and when he saw a small food stall on the side of the road, he came to the shed, and a guy hurriedly came over to beckon him to sit down and asked, "Guest officer, what do you have to eat?" ”

Yin Yunming said with a smile: "The river here is crisscrossed, there must be a lot of fish, so I'll have a fish." ”

"Don't worry, it's right to protect the fish in Boyang Town." While talking, the guy wiped the table neatly, went down to prepare, and Yin Yunming drank tea alone at the table.

As he was drinking, he suddenly saw a big man carrying a large river carp more than two feet long and coming to him, and opened his loud voice with an urn: "Yin Daxia, do you want to eat fish?!" I'm in for a treat! ”

Yin Yunming looked at this person and saw that he was more than thirty years old, so tall, as if he was half a head taller than himself, he looked like a half-cut iron tower, with a dark complexion, a beard on his chin, and green soap all over his body, which looked very scary.

As he spoke, he sat down on the stool in front of Yin Yunming and shouted, "Man, take the fish and pick it up!" ”

The guy seemed to be very afraid of him, and hurriedly responded: "Okay, okay, Xing Sanye, the little one will go." ”

Yin Yunming wondered in his heart: what kind of character is this.

Before he could ask, the big man had already spoken: "Yin Daxia, you probably haven't seen me, but you must have heard the 'Three Ghosts of Poyang', right?" ”

Yin Yunming really hadn't heard of when this name would come out again, so he shook his head: "I haven't heard the sermon." ”

The big man stared at him with wide eyes for a long time, and then asked, "Then you have heard of Xing Tai!" Seeing Yin Yunming smile slightly, Dahan was very happy, "Heard of it?" That's me! ”

Yin Yunming shook his head again: "I haven't heard of it." ”

Dahan was stunned and smiled awkwardly: "It's okay, I haven't heard of it before, and it's not too late to know each other now." My name is Xing Tai, the third in the 'Poyang Three Ghosts', my eldest brother's name is Yi Chun, and my second brother's name is Liang Kai. ”

Yin Yunming was amused in his heart, seeing that he was like that, he was also a straight person, so he no longer embarrassed him and said with a smile: "Fortunately." ”

Xing Tai suddenly became excited again: "Yes, I heard that Yin Daxia is not an unkind person, nor is he a person who looks down on people, let alone a ......."

Yin Yunming waved his hand: "Is Xing Sanye here to send a fish to Yin?" ”

"This, this ......" Xing Tai squeaked for a while, "Alas! Let me say it bluntly, I'm here to know Yin Daxia, who do you want to give that thing to? ”

At this moment, Yin Yunming's heart became vigilant, remembering that when he passed through the Yellow Mountain, the five monsters of the Yellow Mountain seemed to ask for something from him, but at that time, because he was in a hurry, he didn't ask what it was, and now this Xing Tai came to mention this matter again, so he changed his mind: It's better to ask something from him. So he said lightly: "It's just something that doesn't matter, it's not the same to whom." ”

Hearing this, Xing Tai was suddenly surprised, raised his buttocks, and almost jumped up: "It doesn't matter?!" The relationship is big! After thinking about it again, he said, "Oh, by the way, your family has always had no quarrel with the world, so naturally it is not valued, but others think it is very important." ”

Yin Yunming said in his heart: What is it, so he smiled slightly: "I haven't thought about who to give it to." Alas, how did Xing Sanye know that it was in my hands? ”

Xing Tai sat back in his chair with a big grin: "Hey! The reappearance of the 'Xuantie Green Forest Order' is of course a big event, and now it is in your hands, who doesn't know! ”

Yin Yunming's heart trembled: How could it be the "Xuantie Green Forest Order", no wonder they were so pressing.

You must know that the Xuantie Green Forest Order was made in the last years of the Sui Dynasty by Shan Xiongxin, the leader of the Green Forest Alliance at that time, and it was also the token and symbol of the Lord of the Green Forest Alliance, just like the king's imperial seal, but it suddenly disappeared in the late Southern Song Dynasty. The year before last, there was news that the Green Forest Order had reappeared in the rivers and lakes, and there was an uproar in the martial arts, and they all speculated about whose hands it was. Later, Qu Pingzheng, the head of the Huashan faction, presided over the martial arts conference, announcing that everyone would elect the leader of the general alliance, and then no matter whose hands the Xuantie Green Forest Order was, it would be handed over and taken over by the general alliance leader, and Yin Yunming also made a feud with Zheng Tianxing in this conference.

But strangely, who misrepresented this thing in their own hands? Yin Yunming's mind spun quickly: Could it be Wu Pingwen? With his temperament, he would not have used such shameless means, so who would it be?

Seeing that he was silent, Xing Tai said: "Yin Daxia, our three brothers don't have to be, we just want to know if the person holding the order is worthy of accepting the position of the leader of the alliance, you might as well say it, I Xing Tai want to hear who it is." ”

Yin Yunming saw that he was not lacking in sincerity, so he didn't want to lie to him again: "Third Master Xing, Yin doesn't know who you heard the news from, but I'll be honest with you, not only is the Green Forest Order not in my hands, but I haven't even seen it look like." ”

Xing Tai was stunned for a long time, and at this moment the guy brought the fish up, and grinned stiffly: "Yin Daxia, if I heard it wrong and said it in the past, everyone in the rivers and lakes would not hear it wrong!" ”

Yin Yunming sneered: "If the rumor comes out of the mouth of the same person, naturally everyone will hear the same." ”

Xing Tai's face turned red, and he looked at the plate of freshly roasted fish and said, "Yin Daxia doesn't think Xing's fish is good enough, then I'll process it again!" As he waved his palm, he slapped it on the table, and the plate containing the fish flew flat.

Yin Yunming looked at it coldly, gently put his toes to the ground, and saw that the bulky dining table also flew up, caught the plate just right, and fell back to its original place together.

Looking at Xing Tai's face that opened his big mouth in surprise, Yin Yunming smiled slightly: "The man's craftsmanship is good, why do you want to process it again." ”

Xing Tai sighed and said: "Yin Daxia is really good kung fu, if the Xuantie Green Forest Order belongs to you, I, Xing Laosan, will be convinced, but I don't accept the Huashan faction, Yin Daxia must not give it to them!" ”

The Huashan faction is the most influential sect except Shaolin and Wudang, but the implication of this Xing Tai is that it is not as good as Yin Yunming, which inevitably makes people feel that he is currying favor. But Yin Yunming saw that he was sincere, so he said sincerely: "Third Master Xing, Yin really doesn't have any Xuantie Green Forest Order, there must be rumors." ”

Xing Tai thought for a while: "Is Yin Daxia's words serious? ”

"I don't have to lie to you."

"Okay, Xing Tai believes in Yin Daxia."

The word "believe" came out of his mouth, but someone on the side picked up: "Yin Daxia, my third brother is a rectum, that's right." ”

Yin Yunming turned his head to look and saw two people sitting at the table on the side, one was tall and thin, and was wearing a green shirt, like a green bamboo pole, and the other was solid, wearing a red robe, like a drum.

Xing Tai saw it and hurriedly said: "Yin Daxia, this is my eldest brother and second brother." ”

Yin Yunming nodded and arched his hand at Yi Chun, who was speaking: "Xing Sanye is indeed a man of temperament, upright and bold. ”

Yi Chun had already stood up at this time, paced over and said, "That's why he believed Yin Daxia's words......" Dao looked down at the fish on the table, "Alas, how can the fish be delicious without pouring juice, man!" ”

The guy hurriedly brought a bowl of juice on a tray and said, "It's coming, it's coming!" "It seems that I have been ready for a long time, and I have not dared to step forward.

Yi Chun glanced at the guy: "It's better for me to come." As soon as the words fell, the person had already swept over everyone, and threw the juice bowl in front of Yin Yunming.

Yin Yunming knew that this Yi Lao would test himself, and he was not in a hurry when he saw that the bowl had arrived in front of him, so he picked up the chopsticks on the table and gently clamped it, then clamped the edge of the bowl, poured it evenly on the fish, and then threw the bowl, and the bowl fell firmly on the tray in the man's hand.

Yi Chun was also dumbfounded this time.

Yin Yunming smiled: "The juice has been poured, why don't you eat it." ”

Xing Tai nodded hurriedly: "Yes, yes, eldest brother, second brother, come, sit down, sit down......"

The three of them sat down at the table, and Liang Kai, who was sitting opposite Yin Yunming and had not spoken, looked at the fish on the plate: "Since Yin Daxia is a guest, you should invite first." As he spoke, he pushed forward with his palm out of thin air, and the plate moved towards Yin Yunming.

Yin Yunming said calmly: "Second Master Liang, don't be polite. As he spoke, he pressed his hand lightly on the table, and saw that the plate seemed to have encountered an invisible wall, and turning left and right did not pass the center of the table.

Liang Kai secretly worked hard, but he still couldn't do it, and his face was flushed. Suddenly, there was a crackling sound, and the whole plate shattered into many pieces and flew around, and the fish also collapsed into the air and shattered into countless small pieces.

Yin Yunming casually picked up two pairs of chopsticks, straightened up slightly, and danced the chopsticks in the air, only to see that the fish and meat flying around were skewered on the four bamboo chopsticks, and he turned around and shouted: "Man, bring another plate!" ”

The guy had already looked stupid, and when he heard the call, he hurriedly took a plate and sent it over, Yin Yunming put four chopsticks with fish meat on the plate side by side, but it was four excellent fish skewers.
