Zhang Sanfeng saw Meng Xiuyuan suddenly faint, and he was anxious, so he quickly stepped forward to help him up.

Immediately probed his pulse and breathing, and saw that Meng Xiuyuan's life was unharmed, and his heart relaxed slightly.

But when Zhang Sanfeng wanted to use his true qi to probe the situation in Meng Xiuyuan's body and determine why Meng Xiuyuan was in a coma, he reluctantly found that his true qi could no longer be injected into the little apprentice's body.

It was really the liquid true qi in Meng Xiuyuan's body that was of too high quality, and it flowed independently in the meridians of his body, forcing Zhang Sanfeng's pure yang true qi to struggle.

For a while, Zhang Sanfeng, who was a great martial arts master of a generation, felt a little powerless in the face of Meng Xiuyuan's situation at this time.

Fortunately, after a while, Meng Xiuyuan woke up by himself and struggled to sit up, obviously not in any serious trouble.

"Xiuyuan, what's wrong with you?"

Zhang Sanfeng was still a little worried, and couldn't help asking.

When Meng Xiuyuan heard this, his eyes gradually recovered from his daze, and after a while, he replied to his master:

"Master, I may really be leaving this time."

Zhang Sanfeng was a little puzzled when he heard this, and was about to ask, but it was Meng Xiuyuan who took the lead in asking:

"Master, I just punched you, are you okay?

You just want me, you don't have to take my blow......"

Hearing Meng Xiuyuan's words, Zhang Sanfeng shook his head with a smile and said:

"It's okay, you're really angry, it's too dangerous for us to fight again.

I'm a master, so it's no problem to let you make a move. ”

Meng Xiuyuan nodded when he heard this, with a complicated look in his eyes, and said to Zhang Sanfeng:

"Master, if you hadn't given me this trick, I probably wouldn't have been able to do it.

In this world's martial arts, with you at the pinnacle, it is really not easy to climb and surpass. ”

When Zhang Sanfeng heard him say this, his heart moved, as if he had guessed something. However, seeing that Meng Xiuyuan was still a little tired and dazed, he still suppressed all doubts for the time being, and said to Meng Xiuyuan:

"Xiuyuan, let's go back and drink some tea and rest first.

If there is anything, sit down and talk about it. ”

So, the master and apprentice got out of this messy bamboo forest first and returned to Zhang Sanfeng's retreat courtyard.

Meng Xiuyuan helped the master make water and tea, while thinking about how to explain to his old man. And Zhang Sanfeng sat there, quietly looking at his little disciple.

After a long time, after the two of them had already sat down, drank tea, and gasped, Zhang Sanfeng asked softly:

"Xiuyuan, you have spoken twice, saying that you are leaving, where are you going?"

As for this, Zhang Sanfeng seemed to be afraid that Meng Xiuyuan would be embarrassed, so he added another sentence:

"I'm just curious and ask casually, if I can't say it, then I don't need to force it, it doesn't matter."

Meng Xiuyuan shook his head when he heard this, what can not be said about the matter. He immediately looked into the master's eyes and said in a serious tone:

"Master, when I said I was leaving, I was actually going to another world.

But I don't know exactly where it will be. ”

Zhang Sanfeng was a little puzzled when he heard this, and he couldn't help but ask:

"On the other side of the world, do you mean that you want to go to sea by boat, or go to the Western Regions?

But how can you say that you can't even tell yourself? ”

Meng Xiuyuan pursed his lips when he heard this, paused slightly, and then explained:

"No, Master, I've been far away from that.

You can think of it as if I went to another world.

As for why I can't tell ...... clearly"

As he spoke, Meng Xiuyuan happened to see a series of small ants crawling over the dirt at his feet, so he casually picked up one and put it in the palm of his hand, and turned to Zhang Sanfeng to say to him:

"Master, you said this ant, do you know where I'm going to take him?"

When Zhang Sanfeng heard this, he was stunned for a long time, and then there seemed to be a thunder explosion in his heart, and his eyes couldn't help but widen slightly.

Meng Xiuyuan didn't seem to say anything in his words, but he made everything clear.

Zhang Zhenren looked at Meng Xiuyuan, then looked up at the sky, and was a little incredulous for a while, and couldn't help but ask out loud:

"What you are saying is that there is a master outside the sky who wants to help you become an immortal and ascend to the heavens?"

Although Zhang Sanfeng is a monk, he has only read about this immortal theory from books, and he has never paid too much attention to it.

At this time, the words came out of Meng Xiuyuan's mouth, and he would take them seriously.

When Meng Xiuyuan on the other side heard this, he hurriedly waved his hand and explained to the master:

"With my cultivation, what kind of immortal can I become.

As for the Outer Heaven Master, I'm not sure if it exists, or maybe it's just that I was born special, so I have this ability.

And it is not appropriate to say that it is ascension, but it is more accurate, it should be said that it is just a change of world and life. ”

After saying that, Meng Xiuyuan put the ant in his hand into the teacup on the table.

The inner wall of the teacup is smooth, and the ants are running around, but they can't always climb out, so they can only spin in place.

A moment later, Meng Xiuyuan poured out the ant again and put it into a slightly larger tea bowl.

The ant was still scurrying around without a head and no brain, and couldn't climb out. The difference is that the space in this bowl is slightly larger, and the ants are more or less comfortable.

Zhang Sanfeng looked at the ant that was controlled by Meng Xiuyuan in the palm of his hand, and suddenly had some comprehension and understood what Meng Xiuyuan meant.

After a while, he put a smile of relief on his face, looked at Meng Xiuyuan's eyes seriously, and said softly:

"Even if it's not an ascension, that's good.

Xiuyuan, it seems that your 'whim' is right, this is indeed a great thing.

Your martial arts cultivation has reached the pinnacle of this world, and it is really difficult to go further.

It is necessary to go to a broader new world in order to make great progress.

You can have this opportunity, Master is really happy for you. ”

Regarding this sudden change, Meng Xiuyuan's heart was originally both surprised and sad, with mixed feelings.

Now that he heard Master's words again, he felt more and more sour in his heart and was very reluctant.

Twenty years on Wudang Mountain, this has long been like home. Whether it is the senior brothers or Zhang Sanfeng, the master, they are already his relatives.

Seeing Meng Xiuyuan's expression, Zhang Sanfeng naturally guessed his thoughts. But from the bottom of his heart, Zhang Sanfeng is actually very reluctant to accept this little apprentice, so he doesn't know how to comfort him.

I had to endure the emotions in my heart, and pretended to ask Meng Xiuyuan calmly:

"Xiuyuan, do you know when you're leaving?

If it's too late, I should call back all your senior brothers and see you again. ”

Meng Xiuyuan shook his head when he heard this, and said to the master with some regret:

"Although I feel a little bit of a lake in my heart, it is only in these days.

Senior brother, they are thousands of miles away in the Kunlun Mountains, and it should be too late no matter what. ”

Zhang Sanfeng nodded when he heard this, although his face was still calm, but his heart was uncontrollable.

After all, he also understood that when this little apprentice left this time, it would probably be difficult for the two of them to see each other again in this life.

The days of separation are close at hand, which makes people anxious.

For a while, both the master and apprentice were silent.

After a long time, Meng Xiuyuan took a deep breath and suddenly said to Zhang Sanfeng:

"Master, you don't need to worry about it.

I'm a little ant now, but I'm going to grow up in the future.

Perhaps one day, if I have the ability, I will be able to find it myself.

When the time comes, I will take you out of this small world and go to a wider place. ”

When Zhang Sanfeng heard this, he couldn't help but feel relieved, and said with a smile:

"Yes, since you can get out, there must be a way to walk back.

But I'm at my age, so I don't need to take me out to see how it goes.

As long as you can come back then, let's sit down like this and make a pot of tea, and you can tell me what the outside world is like, and tell me the story of your experience along the way, and you will be satisfied with the teacher's heart. ”

Hearing this, Meng Xiuyuan stood up upright, bowed respectfully to the master, and then said with a serious expression:

"Since Master said so, then the disciple must do it.

Master, don't worry, I will do my best. ”

Zhang Sanfeng was happy when he heard this, and he didn't stop Meng Xiuyuan's behavior, but said with a smile:

"Okay, then this matter can be regarded as an agreement between our master and apprentice.

I'm in the hut behind this Wudang mountain, waiting for you to come back. ”

After such a conversation, the sorrow and parting that was originally pervasive in the small courtyard were immediately swept away. All that remains is the vision of the future of the master and apprentice.

At this moment, Zhang Sanfeng's heart moved, and he suddenly asked Meng Xiuyuan:

"So, Xiuyuan, you may not be from our side of the world, right?"

Meng Xiuyuan didn't have anything to hide when he heard this, and immediately nodded at the master with a smile.

When Zhang Sanfeng heard this, he suddenly felt that many of the mysteries in his little apprentice had a reasonable explanation.

Meng Xiuyuan listened to Zhang Sanfeng talking about this, and couldn't help but relax his mind, and joked with his master:

"Master, in my previous life, I didn't look like this.

It's this face that I only have when I came to this world

If I come back in the future and my face changes again, you won't recognize me, will you? ”

Zhang Sanfeng laughed when he heard this, pointed at Meng Xiuyuan and said affirmatively:

"It's like my tai chi, if you want to practice it to a high depth, you have to forget all the moves.

We have been a master and apprentice for 20 years, and I actually can't remember what you look like for a long time, I only remember that I have such a good apprentice.

You can rest assured that no matter what you become, the teacher will recognize you as well. ”

After that, the master and apprentice looked at each other and smiled.

Meng Xiuyuan put the ant in the tea bowl back to the ground, and then made a pot of tea for the master.

……

In the next few days, Meng Xiuyuan first had a good meal with Song Yuanqiao and Song Qingshu, who were still on the mountain.

This senior brother and a good nephew are the first people Meng Xiuyuan has met since he went to Wudang Mountain.

Among them, the affection is also difficult to give up.

It's just that because the martial arts of the two of them are not at the top, and their open-mindedness and vision are not as good as Zhang Sanfeng, who has gone through a hundred years of ups and downs, Meng Xiuyuan did not explain the truth of his departure to them in detail.

After all, such an otherworldly thing, even if you just understand it, is easy to cause trouble for yourself.

What Meng Xiuyuan said to them was that he wanted to go to sea and sail overseas, to search for rare treasures, to broaden his horizons, and to make further progress in kung fu.

Although his father and son didn't understand why Meng Xiuyuan suddenly had this thought, they both knew that Meng Xiuyuan had always done things for a reason and prepared, so they didn't stop him.

It's just that when he heard Meng Xiuyuan say again, he didn't know how long it would take for him to go, and it would be difficult to see each other for a long time, his father and son both looked a little sad.

At the dinner table, the three of them chatted and unconsciously talked about what happened twenty years ago.

Speaking of Meng Xiuyuan at that time, he was still a "little fool", although he practiced diligently, he was always not as fast as Song Qingshu.

Speaking of Song Yuanqiao teaching the two of them kung fu, they treated them differently, which made Xiao Qingshu resentful and deliberately beat Meng Xiuyuan to the ground.

Speaking of the splendid kite that Meng Xiuyuan gave to Song Qingshu, and talking about the days when they practiced boxing together in front of Zixiao Palace.

Between the words, all kinds of past came to mind, as if it was just yesterday.

Meng Xiuyuan made an exception to drink again, and when the father and son were drunk and fell on the table, he looked at the two and smiled, and got up from the dining table.

Before leaving, he took out two pamphlets and stuffed each into their arms.

Among them, there is Meng Xiuyuan's experience in practicing martial arts over the years, as well as the "Nine Yin True Scripture", "Eighteen Palms of Descending Dragon" and "Finger Magic".

Originally, Meng Xiuyuan wanted to hand over these things to the master and let him deal with them in a unified manner.

It's just that Zhang Zhenren has already created Taijiquan and comprehended the artistic conception of martial arts at this time, and there is not much demand for the kung fu of these other sects, so he doesn't look at it too much.

According to his instructions, Meng Xiuyuan handled these efforts by himself and wrote a copy for the seven senior brothers, Song Qingshu, and Zhou Zhiruo for their future reference.

In the days to come, Meng Xiuyuan not only explained to Xiao Zhao during the day, but also accompanied his master to fight boxing and chat. At night, he would write with the lamp lit and write until dawn.

For several nights he wrote many letters, which he left for future to those who knew him well.

Among them, there are those written to the seven senior brothers and Song Qingshu, some to the apprentice Zhou Zhiruo, some to Xiao Zhao, Zhang Wuji, Ah Li, and some to Miss Yang.

But it is worth mentioning that the most content is written to Zhu Yuanzhang.

It's not that Meng Xiuyuan has much to say to him, but in addition to the letters, Meng Xiuyuan also attached many books to him.

Among them are the mathematics, physics, and chemistry knowledge compiled by Meng Xiuyuan, and the rough overseas maps and resource distribution drawn by Meng Xiuyuan from memory.

In short, all the knowledge that is beneficial to the people's livelihood and social development of the country, Meng Xiuyuan has tried his best to recall and record it, and organize it into a book.

Meng Xiuyuan handed these things to Zhang Sanfeng and asked his master to help collect them.

When the country is unified and the world is stable, if Meng Xiuyuan has not returned, Zhang Zhenren will send it to Zhu Yuanzhang.

Thinking about it, whether it is for the sake of Meng Xiuyuan or Zhang Sanfeng, the old immortal, Zhu Yuanzhang will attach importance to these things sent by Meng Xiuyuan and make good use of them.

Of course, Meng Xiuyuan also briefly chatted with Zhang Sanfeng about Zhu Yuanzhang's personality, thinking that with Zhang Zhenren's experience, when the Ming Dynasty is established in the future, he naturally knows how to adjust the style and positioning of the Wudang faction to avoid the suspicion of the imperial court.

In this way, when Meng Xiuyuan arranged everything almost properly, the premonition of leaving became stronger and stronger.

On this day, Meng Xiuyuan packed his package early in the morning and set off off from the mountain in the send-off of everyone in Wudang, saying that he was going to hunt for treasures overseas.

But when he got off the mountain, he climbed the cliff again, sneaked back to the mountain, and walked to the small courtyard in the back mountain.

It wasn't until noon on this day that Meng Xiuyuan went out of the courtyard gate and sat on a big stone after drinking the last pot of tea with his master and saying the last goodbye.

Meng Xiuyuan closed his eyes slightly, emptying his mind.

After a while, I saw that the wind and clouds in the sky changed sharply, and many invisible things gathered from all directions between heaven and earth, above the clouds, and finally condensed into a faint light, which shone directly on Meng Xiuyuan's body.

The next moment, Meng Xiuyuan's figure suddenly began to form a lake, and then quickly disappeared out of thin air.

Before Meng Xiu lost consciousness, the last voice he heard was Zhang Sanfeng's soft shout:

"Xiuyuan, don't forget the agreement with the teacher.

Take care of yourself outside and remember to come home early. ”
