Zheng Changqing got up early in the morning, wanting to take advantage of the cool morning to enter the mountain, although he is a son, but after all, his father was half a Jianghu before he became an official, so some habits were retained by him, such as getting up early.

Zheng Changqing stored the horses and some belongings in the inn, except for the chief manager Wang, everyone else only brought a knife and a few bags of dry waves, which added up to enough food for three or five days. Zheng Changqing got a folding fan out of nowhere and held it in his hand.

In the early morning in the mountains in March, the coolness was very heavy, and several people were at worst a half-trained family like Zheng Changqing, so although they didn't wear much, they didn't feel cold. After packing up their things, the group began to walk towards the mountain.

Although this Mangdang Mountain is called a mountain, but the height is only more than 30 zhang, compared with the real three mountains and five mountains, it is a small hill at most, except for the people nearby who know that there is such a mountain, people who are a little farther away do not know that there is a mountain here, but the mountain range stretches for dozens of miles. The closest to the mountain is this Xuejia Town, and there is only one road leading to Yongcheng County in the town, this Xuejia Town is a small town, and Mangdang Mountain has no special products, so even the porter will not pass here, although Zheng Changqing is a son-in-law, he has not crossed the rivers and lakes, but there are a lot of things that should be prepared, plus Mr. Wang reminded that even the lime powder was brought with him in case of emergency.

Henan has a lot of plains and enough food, so it was originally a good place, but in recent years, the people have been in power, and the people have not been able to make a living, so naturally there are many more bandits who rob homes and houses, and there are more gangs that follow. But most of the gangs are just trying to settle down, so there are not many people, eight or nine people can find a house to open a sect, and then rely on people to do more business, in the early years, the government can still manage it, but with the increasing number of these gangs, and most of them have some martial arts, the government can not control it slowly, and some places have even been in the same stream. And the really long-standing big sects disdain to do this, those real business giants, will go to some big sects to worship a teacher, even if it is a kiss, the richer the apprenticeship ceremony, when you go out, mention which big sect you are, generally small gangs will not go to ask for trouble, and even some big sect officials are unwilling to provoke. The only difference between these sects is that some major sects have virtue requirements for accepting this kind of merchant disciples, and some only need to give money, and the strictest is the lay disciples of Shaolin Temple.

Zheng Changqing also thought that the Hidden Flower Sect was such a sect at first, but seeing that there was not even a porter here, not to mention that ordinary people didn't even know where the sect was hiding, this was obviously not the case. The lay disciples of the Shaolin Temple are received by monks at the foot of the mountain, and they don't know where the sect of the Hidden Flower Sect is when they go to the mountain. If it's just a few people getting together to start a sect, then there's nothing to worry about, this kind of sect is grabbed in Luoyang City, and Manager Wang can't use a hand to clean it up.

A few people walked for an hour, and sure enough, they saw a small stream, which seemed to stretch from the top of the mountain, the river water was clear, and the bottom of the river could be seen at a glance, and it was indeed two people deep, but the width was too narrow, and the stream did not seem to be formed naturally, but more like someone had split it with something. A few people didn't think much about it, and continued to walk along the creek to the mountain, but this road is getting more and more difficult to walk, the road up the mountain is difficult to walk, this road is particularly slippery by the stream, it is easy to fall into the water if you are not careful, there are still many bushes blocking the road on the road, you have to go up while cleaning up, fortunately someone just walked here yesterday, it should be the traces left by Shen Fei, but even so, it is very slow. Yesterday, Shen Fei said that they could arrive in two hours, but they had already walked for three hours and had not seen any vegetable fields, so they couldn't help but wonder if they had gone wrong or Shen Fei was talking nonsense.

Several people complained about Shen Fei while they could only continue to walk and see, because there was indeed no other way to go, so they walked for more than half an hour, and suddenly their eyes lit up, the dense woods and bushes were gone, and they really saw a vegetable field.

The vegetable field is very huge, planted obliquely according to the mountain, there are more than 20 acres of land, the ground is some rapeseed, although the mountain is not high, the mountain range is extended, the slope is gentle, but in this kind of vegetable is still much more difficult than the flat land, such a large area, let alone four or five people can be busy.

"I really didn't expect that there was such a large vegetable field here, enough to feed one or twenty people, Shen Fei said that there is a peasant woman who farms here, I don't know where it is." Mr. Wang said with a look around, and as he spoke, he also pulled a rape flower leaf and tasted it.

"If you see it, ask, if you can't see it, let's go by ourselves, I think the road behind should not be difficult to walk. I didn't expect to get here in three or four hours, it's past noon, let's eat here, take a break, and then go on. ”

As soon as Zheng Changqing finished speaking, he suddenly heard an old woman's voice shouting to this side, "Who are you, what are you doing in my vegetable field?" This voice is loud and confident, others may not know, but when Mr. Wang heard it, he knew that he was a master with profound skills, and he couldn't help but immediately cheer up and glanced at Zheng Changqing, Zheng Changqing understood at a glance and knew that this person was not simple.

"Junior, Zheng Changqing, I heard that there is a hidden flower sect on the mountain, and the sect master is a genius of the world, so I came to learn from the teacher, and I passed by here to rest, I didn't know that the seniors were here, and I disturbed the seniors, and the juniors apologized to the seniors here."

"The sect does not accept male disciples, you should leave quickly, the sect master is very angry today, you continue to harass here, it really angers the sect master, and you can't leave if you want to. Also, I'm not a senior, I'm just a farmer, you just call me Aunt Sun. The voice got closer and closer, and a few breaths reached the ear, and a village woman dressed in gray linen appeared in front of me. This light work seems to be walking, but it doesn't seem to be walking, just like a magpie flying and stopping, extremely fast.

Zheng Changqing was a little stunned, this one of the land cultivators is so powerful, could it be some elder in the sect?

Zheng Changqing was about to say something more, suddenly Aunt Sun turned around and made a gesture towards the mountain, when Zheng Changqing was still confused, there was suddenly a figure on the mountain running towards this side, the speed was even faster, every time he got up and landed, he jumped forward seven or eight feet, not to mention the head of Wang, even the rumored Wudang head Sun Bufan may be nothing more than that.

The figure was getting closer and closer, and then Zheng Changqing saw clearly that it was a girl in her twenties, dressed in white and fluttering, dancing as if she had come to the front. Without looking at Zheng Changqing, he said to Aunt Sun: "The sect master is very angry this time, and called you to go over to ask, I don't know the specific things, but I haven't seen Xiaofei for a day today, and it is estimated that it has something to do with him." After speaking, he turned his head to look at Zheng Changqing, "Aunt Sun, who are these people?" ”

"Girl, in Xia Zheng Changqing, I came to learn art. I don't know if I can introduce it to the sect master, and I am grateful. After speaking, he raised the folding fan and made a deep stroke. Seeing the current situation, Zheng Changchun is not a fool, so naturally he will not say anything to catch the stinky mother-in-law.

The girl looked at Aunt Sun, who hurriedly explained, "I don't know who they are, I just found them and was about to let them go, girl, you are here." I'll let them go down the mountain. "After that, I will start to chase people.

Zheng Changqing saw this posture and knew that there would definitely be no drama this time, so he simply saw the world and hurriedly said: "Since your sect doesn't accept male disciples, it's bothering you, and you're going down the mountain in the next place, so you won't disturb your sect to deal with affairs." After speaking, he raised the folding fan and made a gesture, then turned to look at Mr. Wang, who also knew that there were masters in this sect, and it was not for him to intervene, so he turned around and followed behind Zheng Changqing and walked down the mountain together.

As soon as he walked out of the vegetable field, he saw that the two people in the vegetable field also turned around and ran up the mountain, Zheng Changqing whispered to Mr. Wang: "Mr. Wang, it seems that yesterday's Shen Fei is what they said Xiao Fei, fortunately, we got a good relationship yesterday, we went down the mountain immediately to chase, out of the town is just one way, we may be able to catch up on horseback, and when the time comes, we will inquire with him about the origin of this sect." "Manager Wang is also very curious, he has been walking the rivers and lakes for so many years, and he has never heard of such a sect, and the descendants of the mountainside farmers have such skills, not to mention that they are in this deep mountain, even if they are placed in Luoyang City, the old man probably does not dare to be hard with them. Mr. Wang was thinking about this, when suddenly a question came to his ears, "You saw Xiaofei yesterday?" ”

Mr. Wang was not scared lightly, and he was not surprised that he could reach their ears so quietly, after all, he had already seen this light skill, but he had just walked more than thirty zhang away, how could he hear the whispers between them at such a distance, this skill was really unheard of, with his internal strength, plus his natural ear strength, he only heard the whispers seven or eight zhang away, this little girl was only in her twenties, and she could hear the whispers thirty zhang away.

At this time, Zheng Changqing turned around and immediately said with a smile, "Yesterday I did see a little brother who called himself Shen Fei at the foot of the mountain, and we also drank a few glasses of wine and gave him some coils. I don't know if it's what you said about Xiaofei. ”

"But about fourteen years old, with clear eyebrows and big eyes, about five and a half feet tall?"

"It's similar to what the girl said, it should be the Xiaofei you are looking for."

"Then don't leave yet, you are their leader, you go back to the sect with me."

Saying that, he grabbed Zheng Changqing's collar and lifted it up, Zheng Changqing didn't have time to react, but Manager Wang reacted, and also used a small grab to grab the girl, and shouted, "Let my son-in-law go." But the girl ignored it, only to see that she took a small step back and dodged the grappler, and Manager Wang was still waiting to be caught again, but the girl had already retreated three or four feet away, and Zheng Changqing was carried in her hand as if she had nothing. Then the girl smiled and said to Chief Manager Wang, "Your martial arts are too bad, rest here, and I will bring your son-in-law back after the sect master asks." After speaking, he said to Aunt Sun, "Aunt Sun, watch them, outsiders are not allowed to disturb them in the sect." After speaking, he carried Zheng Changqing and ran towards the mountain.

How dare Mr. Wang let them leave like this, in case something happened to the son, he would not be able to eat and walk around, so he immediately chased after him, but at this time Aunt Sun stopped him, "The old woman has not learned any advanced martial arts, but it only took me an hour and a half to go up the mountain twenty years ago." After speaking, he pointed to the thatched house in the distance, and then turned around and walked towards the thatched house, and when the chief manager heard this, he really had no choice but to follow the thatched house, and the other retainers did not dare to make their own claims, so they followed the chief manager Wang into the thatched house together.

When she came into the thatched house, Aunt Sun brought a few empty tea bowls, and a pot of herbal tea and put them on the table. "Drink some tea and take a break, although the sect master has a big temper and is sometimes unreasonable, he is really a good person, he will not do anything to your son-in-law, you wait here, and you can leave after asking and bringing your son-in-law back." After saying that, he turned around and went outside, leaving a few people looking at each other, not knowing what to do.
