Starting from Wudang, you have to go to the Butterfly Valley in northern Anhui, and the road is also not close.

If you are just riding a horse, even if you pick a shortcut to walk, it will take at least one or two thousand miles, which will take a lot of time and energy.

Fortunately, there is a connection between the Han River and the Yangtze River between the two places, and it is much more convenient and faster to travel down the river by boat than on the ground.

Meng Xiu hired a small boat far from the Han River to Hankou, and after arriving in Hankou, he changed to a Yangtze River boat and went down the river east.

After taking the boat into Anhui, Meng Xiuyuan heard that the boatman said that he had almost arrived at the place, and only went ashore after paying enough fare.

He only knew that the Butterfly Valley was located on the shore of the "Nüshan Lake in northern Anhui", but he didn't know much about how to go, so he could only ask the pedestrians around him for directions, while constantly adjusting his route.

After two or three days of running all the way north, he finally found the Nover Mountain.

Fortunately, this place is only so big, not as heavy as the snow-capped mountains of Kunlun, so it didn't take long for Meng Xiuyuan to find a valley.

I saw seven or eight thatched huts beside a clear stream, and the thatched huts were flower beds on the left and right, planted with all kinds of flowers and plants, and it was obvious that it was the residence of the medicine fairy Hu Qingniu.

But before Meng Xiu could get closer, three ugly-looking old men suddenly appeared from the side of the road and shouted to him:

"Come, please stop.

I don't know your name, why are you here in this Butterfly Valley? ”

Meng Xiuyuan was stunned when he heard this, he wondered when this Hu Qingniu invited such three doormen.

However, listening to the other party's tone, it was quite polite, but he was slightly wary, so Meng Xiuyuan didn't want to embarrass them, and said bluntly:

"In Xia Wudang, Meng Xiuyuan came to this butterfly valley to take my nephew Zhang Wuji back to the mountain."

Unexpectedly, when the three old men heard this, they seemed to be touched by sensitive nerves, and the three ugly faces full of scars and hemp skin instantly changed color, and one by one, their eyes were like torches, and they stared at Meng Xiuyuan up and down with serious faces.

After a long time, the leader took a step forward, and asked Meng Xiuyuan in a heavy voice:

"I take the liberty of asking, are you really Wudang 'Zixiao Divine Sword' Meng Shaoxia?"

Through the breathing of the body, it can be seen that these three old men all have good martial arts.

Coupled with the ugly faces of the three of them, there is a terrifying momentum in their words and deeds, ordinary ordinary people may have been frightened by them like this.

can be placed on Meng Xiuyuan, but it is only like a breeze blowing on the mountains and the bright moon shining on the river.

"Yes, what, what's the problem?"

Meng Xiuyuan was not angry, but replied so vigorously.

"Don't dare, please come with the old man, and we will guide you."

The old man turned around and led Meng Xiuyuan in the direction of the courtyard, while his two accomplices were one on the left and one on the right.

The three of them seemed to inadvertently, and they faintly surrounded Meng Xiuyuan in a triangular situation. At the same time, his body was secretly tense, obviously full of wariness towards Meng Xiuyuan.

Meng Xiuyuan was still calm, he didn't care, so he walked slowly with them all the way.

Anyway, when you enter the courtyard, everything will be clear, and there is no point in bothering here.

"Mowgli."

As soon as Meng Xiuyuan entered the courtyard, he saw that Zhang Wuji was sitting on the stone steps at the door, holding a book and reading hard. Although two years have passed, the child has grown up a lot, but his appearance has not changed much, and he can recognize it at a glance.

"Uncle Junior?!" Zhang Wuji raised his head, first stunned for a moment, and then recognized Meng Xiuyuan.

Although the time spent together was short, Zhang Wuji would never forget Meng Xiuyuan, the little uncle who saved his life from the hands of the second elder Xuanming.

While speaking, Zhang Wuji hurriedly put down the scroll in his hand and ushered in the door.

Seeing this situation, the three very vigilant old men around Meng Xiuyuan's side immediately softened their expressions, and they walked together to the place where Meng Xiuyuan's eyes could see, no longer as if they were going to do it at any time as they did just now.

Immediately, the three of them bowed down in unison and bowed deeply to Meng Xiuyuan, among which the old man at the head said earnestly:

"Meng Shaoxia, you are fine, the villain Yin Wufu is rude.

We can't confirm your identity just now, and we ask for your forgiveness.

It is really a duty, and I dare not be negligent. ”

Meng Xiuyuan was stunned when he heard this, and he understood the identity of these three old men.

Since this person claims to be Yin Wufu, the two next to him should be Yin Wulu and Yin Wushou, all three of whom are servants of Yin Susu's family.

Before Master Zhang Sanfeng's 100th birthday banquet, they also went to Wudang Mountain, and on behalf of the host Yin Tianzheng, they gave Zhang Cuishan, a son-in-law, a lot of valuable gifts.

At that time, Meng Xiuyuan was busy practicing the "Zixiao Sword Qi", so he only heard his name and never met it in person.

It's just that they are domestic slaves, but in fact, these three people have a lot of backgrounds, and they were all well-known masters in the rivers and lakes in their early years. Later, he was rescued by Yin Tianzheng, the leader of the Heavenly Eagle Sect, and thanked him for his kindness, so he made a heavy oath to be a slave for him for life, abandoned his former name, and changed his name to Yin Wufu, Yin Wulu, and Yin Wushou.

Meng Xiuyuan thought of this, but he couldn't help but be a little vigilant. Because he couldn't figure out why the three of them would protect Zhang Wuji here at the same time.

You must know that although these three people are nominally slaves, they are also considered to be the top players in the Aquila Sect. Even if Yin Tianzheng was worried about the safety of his grandson, there was no need to arrange the three of them at the same time under normal circumstances.

Even if the Heavenly Eagle Sect has a big business, it can't afford to waste such talents.

And when Meng Xiuyuan appeared just now, the three of them were a little too nervous, obviously there was something hidden in it.

So after leading Zhang Wuji to sit down again and exchanging a few words with him, Meng Xiuyuan turned his head to look at Yin Wufu and the three of them who were standing aside, and asked directly:

"Steward Yin, I see that when I indicated that I was here for Wuji just now, your faces changed.

But during this time, someone came to this valley to find trouble with Mowgli? ”

Hearing this, Yin Wufu nodded, and politely replied to Meng Xiuyuan:

"Meng Shaoxia, your eyes are like torches, and this is indeed the case.

Recently, in the past month or two, there have been sudden rumors in the rivers and lakes that it is the young master Wuji who is alone in this butterfly valley to heal his injuries.

When many young people heard about this, they were greedy for the news of the dragon slaying knife, thinking that the opportunity had come, and wanted to disadvantage Young Master Wuji.

There were a lot of people in the open and in the dark, some forcibly broke in, some attacked at night, and some wanted to get in under the pretense of looking for Hu Qingniu to see a doctor.

Although most of them are arrogant and stupid people, it doesn't take much effort to get rid of them.

But the dragon slayer knife is too moving, even if we have killed a lot of people to intimidate, but there are still not a few latecomers.

You just said that you wanted to see Young Master Wuji, and we can't see the depth of your kung fu, so we are afraid that it may be a great enemy, so naturally we dare not be negligent. ”

Meng Xiuyuan frowned slightly when he heard this, and secretly sighed that the greed of human nature could not even give up his life for the sake of an ethereal legend.

Immediately, he went on to ask:

"Do you know why the news of Mowgli's healing here spreads?"

That Yin Wufu shook his head:

"The villain is incompetent, and he only found out that someone deliberately spread the news on the rivers and lakes.

As for who it is, I don't have a clue yet. ”

Meng Xiuyuan was immediately silent, to be honest, now that the situation made him think so hard, it was difficult to guess who was doing this.

Although Meng Xiuyuan is not afraid of anyone on the rivers and lakes, he is a little unhappy to be calculated like this behind his back.

Unexpectedly, when he was pondering, he heard a disdainful voice suddenly coming from the room behind him:

"Hmph, you Wudang Sect young heroes don't need to bother, this matter has nothing to do with you.

The man behind him is coming towards me, Hu Qingniu. ”
