Yan Ning drove the horse through the mountains and forests for two days, this terrain is steep, surrounded by mountains, these two days the march is much slower, fortunately there are water springs and fresh fruits in this mountain, can fill the stomach.

But when he reached this rough road, the horse's foot strength gradually weakened, and before he entered the mountain path two days before, he had thrown off the two brothers for a while, and he thought that the two might turn back, but the two of them were chasing after him, and he did not dare to rest for the past two days, and even hurried at night.

At this time, it was noon on the third day, Yan Ning leaned over and leaned on the horse, and the horse was also a little tired, not as majestic as before. The horse was walking on the mountain road, Yan Ning turned his head back to look, and saw that at the end of the forest, there were still two figures, and he said secretly: "It seems that these two people have to catch me." He wanted to bypass the city, maybe he could get rid of the two of them, but when he looked around the city, he saw that there was only one way into the city in front of him, and his heart jumped, and he said secretly: "It's not good, there is only one way into the city ahead, if you enter the city, my horse will run fast." "Lying on his horse at the moment, he secretly figured out a plan.

The two brothers followed closely behind, and the two of them were also exhausted at this time, and Senior Brother Qin complained: "Senior Brother Zheng, the two of us have been with him for three days, this kid has slipped faster than a rabbit, and there is no shadow, or we will turn around and go back, and tell Shen Shi that there is no such person." “

That Senior Brother Zheng snorted and scolded: "Senior Brother Qin, you and I have been out for three days, if we turn back now and hand over empty-handed, what do you think of Shen Shi and the two of us?" He can't even catch a little scholar, doesn't he think that the two of us are just those wine bags and rice bags? How will you be able to hold your head up in front of Shen Shi and many good players in the future? ”

When Senior Brother Qin heard this, his eyes burst into light, and he drank violently and said, "You can't let that Shen Shi look down on the two of us." He whipped his horse wildly.

That Senior Brother Zheng knew that he had a good face, and after such an agitation, he had motivation again, he fixed his eyes on the front, and suddenly felt happy in his heart, pointing to the front and shouting: "Senior Brother Qin, don't worry, you see." ”

Senior Brother Qin raised his head awkwardly, and when he saw that he had arrived in Xin'an City in front of him, he was overjoyed and said: "Haha, Senior Brother, after entering this city, you and I are catching turtles in the urn, and that kid wants to go out, but it will be difficult." ”

The two brothers and sisters strained their legs violently, and the horse was forced, and ran forward wildly.

But it was said that Yan Ning arrived at the city gate first, and saw the word "Xin'an" written on the city gate, and saw that there was a team of officers and soldiers guarding the city gate, and wanted to ride a horse into the city, but was stopped by the officer and soldier, and bluntly said that horses and horses could not be ridden in this city.

Yan Ning had to get off his horse and enter the city, and when he arrived in the city, Yan Ning saw that the city was noisy, and the streets were full of peddlers and pawns, so it was not lively, and he saw that there were jugglers on the street, he thought of the pair of grandchildren who were performing in Fengcheng at the beginning of the year, and said in his heart: "I don't know what happened to the grandfather and grandson?" I hope it's not as adrift as I am. ”

He stopped for a while, and then he heard the voices of the two big men at the city gate behind him, and secretly said that it was not good, so he hurried his pace and walked forward. He walked for a while in the city, where the streets were narrow, and he led his horse on his way, but not very fast, and thought to himself, "If I lead the horse like this, the two men will abandon their horses and chase after me, and I will be caught without leaving the city." ”

Turning his head at the moment, he saw the two people walking through the crowd behind, he pulled the horse and walked forward quickly, saw an inn in front of him, and instantly had an idea in his heart, leading the horse and walking towards the inn, the shopkeeper was standing at the door shouting, seeing Yan Ning leading the horse over, he stepped forward and greeted: "Guest officer, are you sharpening or staying in the hotel?" ”

Yan Ning shook his head and said, "Little Er, do you have a place to feed the horses here?" ”

The little two smiled and said: "The guest officer is from out of town, you really found the right place, our Xin'an City, this is the road, there are many guests from other places, and there are many people like the guest officer who lead the horse, our store just has a stable, you can rest assured that you can rest in the store, I will keep this horse for you to feed well." ”

Yan Ning handed the horse rope to the shopkeeper, took out a piece of broken silver from his arms, handed it to him and said: "Little Er, find me a clean room and help me raise my horse. ”

The little second took the money and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I know." ”

After beckoning Yan Ning in, the little two led the horse, the shopkeeper ushered in, and arranged a secluded room for Yan Ning, Yan Ning entered the house, he didn't close his eyes for three days, he was already very tired, and when he saw the bed, he fell asleep.

When the two entered the city, they abandoned the horse, and searched for a long time in the city, but there was no trace of Yan Ning, and Senior Brother Qin said, "Senior brother, didn't that kid go out of the city a long time ago?" ”

Senior Brother Zheng thought for a while and said: "Senior brother, that kid will not be able to go far if he leads the horse, and now he can't be found in this city, so he must have abandoned the horse. ”

The two brothers went separately to look for it, and the senior brother Qin searched all the way, and came to the inn where Yan Ning passed by, and saw that Xiao Er was shouting in front of the door, he stepped forward, grabbed Xiao Er in front of the door, and asked, "Little Er, do you have a stable in your store?" ”

Seeing that he was full of meat and stout, Xiao Er was startled, and hurriedly said: "This master, our store has a stable, do you want to go out and see the horses in our store?" ”

Senior Brother Qin screamed angrily and shouted, "What do you care about me, hurry up, take me to the stable to have a look." ”

The little second was frightened by this roar, and didn't dare to disobey his orders, so he took him to the stable, and the senior brother Qin turned around in the stable, and saw that Yan Ning's horse was locked here, laughed twice, and shouted at the little er: "Little Er, the owner of this horse, have you seen it?" ”

Seeing that the strong man was not good, Xiao Er thought of Fang Cai Yanning's explanation, rolled his eyes, and said, "This master, are you talking about a tall, thin, scholar-like person?" ”

Senior Brother Qin laughed loudly and said, "It's this person, have you seen this person?" ”

The little two said: "This man has just come, put the horse in our inn, and then found another horse and went out of the city. ”

When Senior Brother Qin heard that Yan Ning was going out of the city, he shouted and said angrily: "Okay, you thief boy, you run so fast, you hurt Lao Tzu, Lao Tzu has to catch you." ”

At the moment, he was angry, drew his knife in front of the stable, slashed at the air, and vented his anger.

The junior brother Qin cut down, led two horses in the stable and left, the little second saw him dangling with a knife, how dare he speak, he had to watch him lead the horse away.

As soon as the two brothers converged in the city, they chased after the city gate, if they knew that Yan Ning was resting in that guest room at this time, they didn't know how they would be angry.

Yan Ning slept for a while, and when he woke up, he saw that it was not early outside, and it was dusk at this time, he went downstairs to greet the little er, and after knowing that the two were gone, he ate some more food, and asked the little er to find a set of clothes to change, and then went to lead the horse away.

He was leading his horse down the street, thinking about where the two men had gone, when he suddenly heard a commotion ahead, and he didn't want to do much, but he saw an old beggar surrounded by three people outside a bun shop in front of him, and the three of them combined their fists and kicks to hit the old beggar.

Yan Ning saw that the old beggar was unkempt, his clothes were thin, his body was full of mud, and he was beaten so that he only screamed in a low voice, which was very pitiful, he couldn't see this kind of thing the most, his heart was sour, he walked forward, pulled one of them away violently, blocked in front of the old beggar, and said angrily: "Why did you do it to an old man? ”

The person who seemed to be the boss among the three said: "Where did the wild boy come from, dare to meddle with Lao Tzu's affairs?" ”

Yan Ning saw that his face was not good, took a deep breath, and said: "I'm just a scholar, but I can't get used to seeing you bullying him like this, what did he do to withstand your punches and kicks?" ”

The shopkeeper said angrily: "It turned out to be a poor sour scholar, you scholars, you are nosy, this old thing took advantage of my inattention and stole my three meat buns to eat, do you say you should beat or not?" ”

Yan Ning turned his head to look at the old beggar, and saw that he looked flustered, his whole body was shrunk into a ball, and he was still holding half of the gnawed bun in his hand, he knew that what the shopkeeper said was true, sighed, and said, "If he takes the three of you buns to eat, he won't beat him like this." He took out a few copper coins from his bosom, handed them to the shopkeeper, and said, "I paid for him, and you must not beat people again in the future." ”

When the shopkeeper had received the money, he didn't say anything more, glared at the old beggar again, and led the two into the shop.

Yan Ning saw that the old man was still squatting on the ground, he hurriedly helped him up, took out some broken silver from his arms, handed it to the old beggar, and said, "Old man, you take these silver first, don't steal things to eat in the future." ”

The old beggar grinned, leaked a few broken teeth, and said, "Is this silver really for me?" ”

Seeing that he didn't believe it, Yan Ning put the silver in his hand and said warmly, "It's really for you." ”

The old beggar shook his head, returned the silver to Yan Ning, took another bite of the half of the bun, and said, "I don't want silver for the old flowers." ”

Yan Ning saw that he didn't want silver, he had never seen such a strange thing, and said strangely: "Don't want silver? Isn't it that the old man dislikes my silver? ”

The old beggar said, "The old flower does not dislike silver, but naturally dislikes you." ”

Yan Ningqi said: "Dislike me? ”

The old beggar nodded and said, "Naturally, I dislike you." ”

Yan Ning was puzzled and asked: "I helped the old man to relieve the siege, but why did the old man dislike me?" ”

The old beggar stood up and circled around him, Yan Ning didn't know what he meant, the old beggar sniffed his body with his nose again, touched his wrist, and said, "I hate the sour smell of yours." ”

Yan Ning raised her sleeve and sniffed it, but she didn't smell any sourness, and said strangely: "Old man, I don't have any smell on my body, how can you dislike the sour smell on my body?" ”

The old beggar laughed and said, "Naturally, you can't smell the smell, but I can smell the flowers clearly, that's it, this silver, the flowers are still acceptable." ”

The old man called Hua Fang didn't want it, but at this time he took the silver again, Yan Ning saw that he was acting strangely, and said in his heart that this old man was called Hua or his mind was damaged, and he began to talk nonsense.

Seeing that Lao Zhaohua took the silver, Yan Ning was about to leave, but the old Zhaohua pulled his sleeve and said with a smile: "Boy, are you going out of the city?" ”

Yan Ning saw him pulling him, seeing that it was getting late, thinking of him an old beggar, he didn't know where to go, and said: "I want to go out of the city, does the old man have a place to go?" ”

The old flower sighed and said: "I always call Hua Sihai home, and there is no fixed place to go, but if you say that this is near Xin'an City, there is a place for the old Hua to go." ”

Yan Ning asked, "Where is the old man's house?" ”

The old Hua pointed to a place outside the city: "The old Hua lives in the City God Temple outside the city, but if it is late today, the old Hua does not dare to walk at night, I am afraid that I will not be able to go back." ”

Yan Ning saw that what he was pointing to was the direction he was going out of the city, thinking that he was going to go out of the city too, so he gave him a ride, so he said, "Old man, if you don't dislike it, how about going forward with me?" ”

The old man called Hua Xi and said, "This is very good." ”

The two of them went out of the city gate, and the old man pointed to a temple on the hill in front of him and said, "There is the city god temple in front, boy, but it's still a little far away." ”

Yan Ning fixed his eyes and saw that the City God Temple was still on another mountain, and saw that the old man was skinny, so he wanted him to get on the horse and ride, he said to the old man: "Old man, you are old and frail, get on the horse." ”

The old man suddenly snorted coldly and said, "Hehe, I always call Hua not to ride a horse, boy, how do you know that Lao Hua is old and frail?" Maybe your horse is not as good as my old tweed. ”

Yan Ning only laughed at him and said, "Don't make fun of me, old man, how can a person run faster than a horse." ”

When the old beggar saw that he didn't believe him, he smiled coldly and said, "Boy, since you don't believe it, why don't we compare the two of us?" ”

Yan Ning laughed when he said and replied casually: "Okay, old man, then let's compare." ”

When the old beggar heard this, he laughed, and without waiting for Yan Ning to speak, he ran away. The old beggar was thin and weak, but his pace was extremely fast, and between two or three breaths, he ran out of a hundred meters, Yan Ning saw that he was so magical, not like ordinary people, and he was speechless for a while.

When the old beggar saw that he had not yet moved, he turned his head and came back and said, "Boy, why don't you run?" ”

When Yan Ning heard this, he hurriedly drove his horse to chase after him.

The old beggar was running in front, Yan Ning was chasing after him, he rode on the horse, and saw the old beggar walking on the mountain road, driving his horse and running, no matter what, he could not pull the distance, and secretly said in his heart: "This man is very fast, he runs faster than a horse, is he not this mountain ghost?" Seeing the old man's shadow stretched in the moonlight, not like the rumored shadowless ghost, he was shocked in his heart: "This old man does not look like a ghost, but he runs so fast, it is really amazing." ”

He didn't know that there were some people in the rivers and lakes who were very good at light skills, who could cross the river and jump mountain streams, and the old beggar had wind under his feet, and he was also a person with extremely good light skills.

Yan Ning chased for a long time, and the City God Temple in front of him was getting closer and closer, but he hadn't caught up with the old beggar, at this time the two had been running for about an hour, he thought that the old beggar had been running for a while, and he would be exhausted, and he would be able to catch up when he rode a horse. But the old beggar not only did not have any weakness, but he ran faster and faster.

The two ran for about a stick of incense, and the old beggar suddenly stopped in front of him, Yan Ning didn't know why, and hurriedly drove forward, only to find that he had arrived at the City God Temple.

The old beggar laughed and said, "How's it going, boy, is the flower as fast as your horse?" ”

Yan Ning got off the horse, and saw that the old man's breath was as usual, and he couldn't keep up with him by driving a horse, and sighed: "The old man's foot strength is so fast, he is losing." ”

The old beggar said, "Since you lost to me, do you have any gains?" ”

Yan Ning took out some silver coins from his arms and said, "Old man, I only have some spare money on me, I don't know if the old man can look at it." ”

The old beggar smiled and said, "Little brother, the old man is not a greedy person, and since you have given me money in that city, I will simply regard it as an addition to my loss." ”

Yan Ning smiled hesitantly, seeing that he had arrived outside the City God Temple, and knowing that the old man was not an ordinary person, he said: "The old man has a unique skill, and he only left his eyes below, and now he has arrived at the City God Temple, and he will leave below." "Say goodbye to the old beggar and prepare to straddle the horse and leave.

But the old beggar stopped him and said, "Little brother, you have a wound on your body, why don't you heal your wound before leaving?" ”

Yan Ning was stunned and said, "You ...... How do you know? ”

The old beggar said, "I was in that Sin'an city, and I said that your body was sour, and then I knew that you had a wound on your body." ”

Yan Ning said: "No wonder my predecessors said that my body was sour, I thought it was strange at the time, it turned out to be like this." ”

The old beggar shook his head and said, "I said that you are sour, and it is not all because you have injuries. ”

Yan Ning said strangely: What does this mean, senior? ”

The old beggar smiled and said, "I said that you have a sour smell on your body, and because you don't have much kung fu, but you insist on coming out, you and another scholar I have seen have a rotten sour smell on your body, but that person's kung fu is much higher than yours." ”

Yan Ning knew that although he was sarcastic, he had no malicious intent, scratched his head and smiled: "The predecessor said this, which can be regarded as a compliment to me." ”

The old beggar took a sip and said, "You are quite good at kicking your nose in the face, and I ask you, if you have no money today, how can you save me?" ”

Yan Ning pondered for a while and said, "If you don't have money, I should reason with them." ”

The old beggar snorted and said, "What will you do?" I stole the store's steamed buns, and it was natural for them to beat me, but you want to talk about some reasoning, and if you reason with them, you can only talk about some crooked reasoning. ”

This sentence made Yan Ning speechless, he only knew how to seek justice when he read, what was said in the book, bullying the old and the young, it was an injustice in the world, but listening to the old beggar say this, if he has no money to compensate the shopkeeper, the store will lose its money, and he will stand on the side of the old beggar, and there is no reason at all.

The old beggar saw that he bowed his head and was silent, and knew that he had encountered a problem, so he said: "Little brother, don't think too much, the old flower is very grateful to you today." ”

Yan Ning shook his head and said: "The words of the seniors have benefited me a lot, if it weren't for the fact that I had some money today, wouldn't the store have suffered losses in vain, there are fewer days with money, and there are many days without money, I can't figure out this truth for a while, don't blame the seniors." ”

The old beggar laughed and said, "Little brother, if you don't understand, don't think about it again, you have a lot of skin injuries on your body, I see that you have practiced internal skills, why are you so embarrassed?" ”

Yan Ning remembered that day when he was beaten by Liu Renxiong and others in the Shen Mansion and had blood in his mouth, but he didn't want to mention it, shook his head and said, "Just be bitten by a wild dog." ”

The old beggar saw that he didn't want to say more, and he didn't ask at this time, and said at the moment: "Little brother, I always call the flower to go south and north, conceited, I know a lot of people, I have seen many martial arts masters, today I am in the city to explore your pulse, your left and right hand pulses are different, it is really rare in the world, but I don't know what kind of internal skills you practice, it really makes the old flower strange." ”

Wei Chenfeng was charged with murder, Yan Ning didn't want others to know, and he really didn't know what the name of this exercise was, so he immediately said: "This kung fu was taught by a master, and that person never told me what the name of this exercise was." ”

When the old beggar heard this, he sighed lightly and said, "Little brother, can you let the old man take a look." "This old man has been practicing martial arts for many years, and he is really curious about this internal skill that he has never seen.

The old beggar's request, if the people in the rivers and lakes listen to it, they will think that he is crazy, this is a taboo in the rivers and lakes in front of others, but Yan Ning doesn't know much about these rivers and lakes, he immediately promised: "If you don't learn the art well, if the seniors want to see it, you will be ugly in the next, and the seniors must not dislike it." ”

The old beggar waved his hand again and again, and said happily: "Don't dislike it, don't dislike it." ”

Yan Ning immediately sat down cross-legged, and exercised his hands, and the two true qi, one cold and one hot, suddenly came out of the dantian and burst out towards the hand Shaoyin True Scripture.

The old beggar saw that his body was separated from the middle line, and there were two completely different true qi on the left and right sides, and those two true qi were separated in the middle line of his body, and he didn't touch each other at all, and couldn't help but admire: "Lao Zhaohua has lived for so many years, and it is the first time I have seen this thaumaturgy." ”

The two true qi, one cold and one hot, worked on Yan Ning's body for a while, and disappeared in an instant, and an extremely gentle true qi burst out from his dantian mouth, filling his whole body in an instant.

When the old beggar saw this true qi, his expression changed suddenly, and his face was full of incredulity.

After Yan Ning exercised for a week, he took back his true qi and stood up, but when he saw the old beggar's eyes stunned, he looked up to the sky and sighed: "Yin and Yang are in harmony, pure and pure, so that's it." ”

Yan Ning listened to his words, but there were similarities with the mantra in this exercise, and he secretly said in his heart: "Yin and Yang are in harmony, pure and pure, could it be that this senior has also practiced this exercise?" ”

He was about to ask the old beggar, but the old beggar suddenly said: "Haha, little brother, accept your affection, let the old flower open his eyes today, if the old flower is not wrong, the method you practice is the yin and yang of the Taiqing Palace." ”
