Chapter 22: Autumn Yinxue

At the end of the day, Su Jiulin, who went to Jiangnan from Qingcheng Mountain, came to Huanggang County.

Su Jiulin, who hadn't eaten lunch yet, immediately found a noodle restaurant, ordered a bowl of Yangchun noodles, and devoured it.

Next to the noodle shop is a simple private school, without walls, and there are students studying.

When the master reads a sentence, the students will follow suit, and occasionally the students will ask questions.

"The son said: 'Parents have a few admonitions, but when they do not obey their will, they do not disobey them, and they do not complain about their work.'" ”

"The son said: 'Parents have a few admonitions, but when they do not obey their will, they do not disobey them, and they do not complain about their work.'" ”

As soon as he finished reading, a student immediately asked, "Master! What does Confucius mean by this? ”

I saw the master slowly close the book, and then replied: "Confucius is telling us that to serve our parents, we should be tactful in dissuading their shortcomings. If our opinions are not adopted by them, we still have to be respectful to them, we must not disobey them, and we should only grieve in our hearts, but we must not resent them. ”

After the master finished explaining, he opened the book again.

"Alright, keep reading with me. The son said: 'Parents are here, don't travel far, there must be a way to travel.' ’”

"The son said: 'Parents are here, don't travel far, there must be a way to travel.' ”

"Master, Master, what do you mean by that?"

This sentence tells us that while our parents are still alive, we as children should not travel far away for a long time; If you are going to travel far away, then you must tell your parents in advance where you are going, because parents will be worried. Okay, let's go on, Zi said......"

At this time, Su Jiulin was immersed in eating noodles and did not dare to raise his head.

Just now, the students were reciting "Parents are here, don't travel far, there must be a way to travel." At that time, Su Jiulin, who buried his head, also read it with his mouth.

After finishing the noodles, Su Jiulin wiped his eyes with his sleeve before raising his head. Then he put on his baggage, put on his hat, and continued his journey eastward.

After another hour, Su Jiulin had come to a mountain forest called Xinkangling. Because the bowl of noodles just now was a little salty, Su Jiulin felt thirsty, so he went to the mountains to find a stream to get water to drink.

After drinking the water, Su Jiulin lay down on the stone slab next to the stream, closed his eyes, and then put his hat on his face and began to sleep.

"Ping!"

"Ping!"

Suddenly, there was a sound of fighting, and Su Jiulin, who had been asleep for a long time, was woken up. He slowly stood up and, according to the sound, slowly climbed up the hill in front of him.

I saw an old man in gray guarding a carriage on the mountain road below, fighting with six people who looked like bandits with black scarves and mouths.

Su Jiulin found that the shoes of these six masked people were very special, and they seemed to be wool shoes made of the fur of some kind of beast. Su Jiulin thinks that he has been to many places, but he has never seen this kind of shoes.

Looking at it, Su Jiulin buried his head, and he could see that these seven people were not ordinary masters.

Especially the old man in gray, he just swung his palm at a man in black, and after the man in black dodged, the palm wind directly broke a big tree behind the man in black! Obviously, that palm is used with internal force, and it can be retracted and released freely in a fight and has such power, Su Jiulin knows that he is definitely not an ordinary master.

In his opinion, the strength of the old man in gray was even stronger than the Yi Xin he met eight years ago.

Although the old man in gray is strong, the six masked people are not bad, and Su Jiulin asked himself if he may not be able to win any of them one-on-one.

At this moment, the old man was obviously consumed a lot of physical strength, and he was a little unable to parry, and he was accidentally kicked and crashed into the carriage behind him.

Fortunately, the old man adjusted in time, and as soon as he hit the carriage, he grabbed the ground with his feet to stabilize his body, and then continued to step forward and fight with the six people.

Rao was like this, the carriage still shook a little, and the people inside slowly lifted the curtain on the side.

"Grandpa Wu! Be careful! ”

The young woman of eighteen or nineteen poked her head out, and her voice was soft and crisp, and it was extremely beautiful.

Looking at it again, it turned out to be a beautiful face! Although his face is full of anxiety now, he can't hide his beauty. Su Jiulin was dumbfounded for a moment...

The old man who was called Grandpa Wu didn't have time to speak at this moment, and Su Jiulin had already seen that if he continued to fight like this, the old man would definitely be consumed to death by those six people.

Suddenly, after repelling the man who wanted to rush to the carriage with one palm, the old man took out an arrow from his bosom and shot it into the air.

The six masked men all looked up into the air.

At this time, the old man immediately slapped the horse's buttocks, and the horse was frightened and immediately ran away.

The six masked men also reacted and wanted to chase after them, but the old man used his internal strength to force everyone back.

Su Jiulin glanced at the running carriage, then at the old man who was entangled with the six people, and after a little hesitation, he chased after the carriage.

When Su Jiulin was about to catch up with the carriage, the running horse suddenly broke the reins and ran away alone, and the carriage immediately bumped.

Su Jiulin saw it clearly in the rear, seeing that there was a hillside in front of him, and if the carriage didn't stop, it would definitely fall, so he immediately used enough internal force to speed up the pace, and finally stopped the carriage before the carriage was about to fall down the hillside.

After Su Jiulin opened the curtain, he found that the woman in the carriage seemed to have been knocked unconscious in the bump, and she was in a coma at this time.

"Girl! Girl! Su Jiulin called hard.

Finally, after Su Jiulin shouted five or six times, the woman slowly woke up.

"Girl, you're awake."

After the woman woke up, she was startled at first, and squeezed into the carriage again, and then reacted that Su Jiulin's outfit in front of her was not the masked man just now, and immediately asked, "Is it the little woman rescued by Gongzi?" ”

Su Jiulin nodded yes, and the woman in the sedan immediately begged Su Jiulin to help her save her Grandpa Wu, that is, the old man before.

Su Jiulin knew that he was not the opponent of those people, so he touched the lime powder in his arms, and then took the woman back to the mountain where he was staying just now.

Unbeknownst to them, the two had just arrived at the top of the mountain, but they only saw the old man in gray lying in a pool of blood, motionless.

Seeing this, the woman's tears had flowed out, and she was about to shout, but Su Jiulin covered her mouth with one hand.

Su Jiulin thought that the six masked men had already found the carriage that was empty, and now they might be looking for the woman next to him, so he looked around.

Sure enough, Su Jiulin saw that there was movement on the hill on the right, and it was obvious that someone was shuttling among them. Su Jiulin no longer hesitated, put the burden on his body, picked up the woman and ran south.

Who knows, the other party seems to be very good at tracking in the mountains and forests, Su Jiulin and the two have been running for about two incense sticks, and they have run to a small river at the end of the mountain forest that is more than three feet wide, and there are still movements from time to time behind them, obviously someone has been following them.

There was no escape, there was a river in front, and there were pursuers in the back, so Su Jiulin immediately pulled the woman to crawl in a bush. At this time, the sky was already a little dark, and it was still difficult to find them without looking carefully.

After a while, a masked man ran in front of them. After a while, he ran back and chased after other places.

The woman was just about to get up, but Su Jiulin stopped him and motioned for her not to speak. After about a stick of incense, there was still no movement outside, and Su Jiulin slowly pulled the woman up.

Su Jiulin slowly explained: "I'm sorry, girl, I feel that these people are very good at tracking, so I have to be careful." ”

The woman said she understood.

The two of them just wanted to continue walking south, but Su Jiulin stayed where he was. During the conversation, he found that the person who had left just now had not left, but had slowly stood up from behind a tree in the distance and was slowly walking towards them.

The woman also spotted the masked man and immediately hid behind Su Jiulin.

Su Jiulin's face was grim, knowing that he couldn't escape now, so he immediately let the woman hide aside.

The masked man didn't say a word, and he didn't ask who Su Jiulin was, he drew his knife and quickly attacked. Su Jiulin also drew his sword and fought together.

After a few moves, Su Jiulin knew the gap between himself and the masked man, although the kung fu he learned in Qingcheng Mountain in the past eight years was recognized by Huang Mu, and he was already the best martial arts among all the disciples of Shangqingguan, but he lacked actual combat experience, and it was very difficult to deal with it at the moment, in just two moves, Su Jiulin had already been stabbed twice and kicked once, and the corners of his mouth were already covered with blood.

Su Jiulin also knew that if he dragged it any longer, he might attract other masked people, so he no longer hesitated, and throwing his hand was a move to use the "Hundred and Two Guanshan" with sufficient internal strength.

Who knows, the masked man raised his sword to block horizontally, and with his sword qi, he blocked Su Jiulin's anger!

"What?!" Su Jiulin was shocked, thinking that although this move might not be able to win against the masked man, it should be more or less troublesome to him, but he didn't expect it to be resolved so easily.

In fact, the masked man was also frightened, his martial arts ranked third among the six, and when he saw Su Jiulin's powerful move, he had already used all his internal strength to resist, and his arm was still numb by the shock. But the masked man reacted quickly, and immediately swept through with another knife.

Su Jiulin was distracted, and when he saw the masked man attacking, he immediately retreated a few steps back and retreated to the woman's side, but his left hand was still cut. Before he could recover his senses, he saw two more masked men coming behind him.

Su Jiulin glanced at his injured arm, and immediately shouted at the woman on the side: "Girl! Hurry up and run to the river! I'll be right away! After saying that, he continued to fight with the masked man who had already attacked.

Seeing that Su Jiulin was injured, the woman couldn't bear to leave, but she also saw two more masked people coming, so in order not to distract Su Jiulin, she immediately ran to the river.

Seeing that the two masked men in the back were still a foot or two away from Su Jiulin, Su Jiulin did not hesitate, and after forcing back the black-clothed man in front of him with a sword, he began to use his internal strength.

"A river of wind and moon!"

With this palm, Su Jiulin also used all his internal strength, and the wind blew in an instant, flowers and branches flew sideways, and the three masked people also saw that this move was full of power, and they were busy raising their knives to block.

And after Su Jiulin took out his palm, he quickly ran to the river, pulled the woman and jumped into the river without hesitation. He was familiar with the nature of water, and after a while he pulled the woman to swim to the other side of the river. After going ashore, Su Jiulin continued to pull the woman's head and ran towards the mountains and forests on this side of the river without looking back.

When she was about to run into the mountains and forests, the woman couldn't help but glance back, and found that the three masked men were still standing on the other side of the river, looking around, and they didn't chase after them, so she told him while running with Su Jiulin.

Su Jiulin looked back, and sure enough, he didn't chase after him, but he still didn't stop his pace, and continued to pull the woman into the mountains and forests. He expected that the other party did not know the nature of water, and was looking for a boat or a bridge or something.

The moment Su Jiulin turned around just now, the woman saw blood hanging from the corners of his mouth, and the clothes on his body were also dyed red, and she wanted him to rest for a while, but Su Jiulin glanced at the three people behind her and pulled her up and ran into the mountains and forests, so she could only follow him.

In fact, Su Jiulin also wanted to rest for a while, but he knew that if the two of them didn't take this opportunity to run away, sooner or later they would be caught up by the masked man, and they would definitely be more than lucky.

Finally, after running for another half an hour, the woman couldn't run anymore, and sat down on a rock, panting, and Su Jiulin also took this opportunity to start resting.

By this time, it was already half dark.

As soon as Su Jiulin sat down, a mouthful of blood sprayed out, and he hurriedly clicked three acupoints on his body, and then closed his eyes and began to meditate and pranayama. He also had no choice, if he had sealed his three acupoints from the beginning, his true qi would not have been able to run, and he would definitely not have been able to run so far.

Seeing this, the woman on the side immediately panicked, and hurriedly pulled Su Jiulin's sleeve to ask him if he was okay. Su Jiulin said that she would be fine after resting for a while, and asked her not to worry.

Sure enough, it didn't take long for Su Jiulin's face to be much more ruddy.

When Su Jiulin opened his eyes again, the sky was already darker, but he saw that the woman was sitting beside him and looking around, as if she was very scared.

Su Jiulin called softly: "Girl." ”

Hearing this, the young woman's body trembled.

"Scaring the girl?"

"Let Childe see and smile." The woman was indeed frightened, she didn't know that Su Jiulin had already rested.

Then Su Jiulin slowly stood up, looked around, and said, "Girl, I see that the mountains and forests here are not small, and we may not be able to go out for a while." And now it's dark and it's hard to see if there are any beast traps or other mechanisms in the woods, so let's find a place to rest in the forest tonight, and leave tomorrow morning, how about it? ”

The young woman also stood up, glanced at Su Jiulin, and then gave him a salute: "Then listen to the son." ”

The young woman believed in Su Jiulin very much at the moment. She and Su Jiulin didn't know each other, but Su Jiulin could take such a big risk for her, and almost lost her life, which made her very moved. Moreover, she had no other good opinions.

Su Jiulin then took the woman to find a place to stay in the mountains and forests.

"Childe, are your injuries all right?" The woman who followed Su Jiulin was still very worried about Su Jiulin, in her opinion, Su Jiulin was not lightly injured, and he only breathed for a while just now.

"It's much better." Su Jiulin was holding a branch, bending over and poking everywhere on the ground as he walked.

"Childe, are you familiar with the mountains and forests?"

"Yes, I've grown up in the mountains and forests for more than 20 years." Su Jiulin suddenly stopped, turned his head to look at the woman, "By the way, don't call me son, I don't like it." ”

"What's that calling you?"

"That ......" Su Jiulin didn't think about it, and he hesitated for a long time, "Then you can call me Su Gongzi, my name is Su Jiulin." ”

Looking at Su Jiulin, who was a little naΓ―ve, the woman was also amused, and after giving Su Jiulin a salute, she said: "Master Su, then don't call me girl, my name is Qiu Yinxue." ”

Su Jiulin saw the woman laughing, and he smiled awkwardly, and then said, "Okay, then I'll call you Miss Qiu." ”

Afterwards, Su Jiulin took a girl named Qiu Yinxue to continue to find a place to live.

After a while, Su Jiulin saw a cave next to an open space more than two zhang wide in the mountains and forests, and after Qiu Yinxue agreed, the two were ready to rest in the cave.

At this time, the moon has also come out.
