Chapter 33: The Way and the Temptation

After the rain, the rising sun sprinkles down, reflecting the entire mountain.

Storm.

Meng Ke was lying on the dart cart, and Jin Hu was pouting his big cheek, carefully helping him with medicine.

"Brother Runtu, don't worry, this is the ancestral ointment of our dart bureau, which specializes in treating bruises."

Jin Hu looked at a large patch of blue and purple on Meng Ke's chest and said.

Although the wound looked serious, it was not fatal.

For those of them who have been practicing martial arts all year round, it is not a matter at all.

It's just that Meng Ke was injured and lost many dart masters, and their trip may be delayed for a few days.

Meng Ke's nose moved slightly, and the smell of the ointment felt slightly familiar.

Well, it is indeed ancestral, passed down from the ancestors.

The smell of this medicine is exactly the same as that made by Master Qin.

After Jin Hu finished taking the medicine and left, the second senior brother quietly jumped into the car.

"Little junior brother, you are really this ......"

As he spoke, he gave a thumbs up: "I was still upset with the third junior brother, and I felt that the master asked you to go to Hedong with me because he took a fancy to your potential." Now it seems that let alone the third junior brother, even if I fight you to the death, I may not be able to defeat you. ”

The second senior brother is also above board, and his thoughts in his heart are not concealed in the slightest.

"It's just a trick."

"It's not a trick, you're such a monster! A freak like you is put on the rivers and lakes, and you will definitely be a hero of the famous party in the future. The second senior brother patted Meng Ke's shoulder and said.

"The rivers and lakes are too small......"

Meng Ke shook his head, as if he meant something: "I am not interested in the rivers and lakes."

The second senior brother listened to Meng Ke's words, he was slightly stunned, and then smiled slightly, and a flash of essence flashed in his eyes.

He didn't take over the conversation, but just opened the topic and chatted with Meng Ke.

……

Half a month later, the sky is getting brighter, and in the early morning in the mountains and forests, there are bursts of birdsong, and the birdsong is mixed with a few birds flying on the branches.

The dart team walked out of the mountains and forests along the official road, looking at the Zhengding City standing in the distance, and they couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

It's finally here.

Zhengding City is located in the central part of Zhili (Hebei) Province, formerly known as Zhending.

That's right, Zhao Zilong is from here - Changshan Zhending.

In the first year of Yongzheng in the Qing Dynasty (1723), he avoided the world and changed the Zhending Mansion to the Zhengding Mansion.

Zhending City has become the current Zhengding City.

"Into town!"

With a wave of his hand, the dart cart slowly drove into the city and headed towards Zhending City.

"Brother Runtu, Brother Jian, when we deliver the dart to the employer, we will send you to Shenxian County, how about it?"

Jin Hu asked as he drove the carriage forward.

"Yes, you can."

Meng Ke and Huang Jian both agreed, they naturally knew why Jin Hu said this, didn't they just hope to get the guidance of their master through their master?

After sending things, leaving a group of dart masters and darts to recuperate in the city for two days, Jin Hu couldn't wait to set up a carriage to send the two to Shen County.

……

Shenzhou, as the hometown of Guo Yunshen, the great master of Xingyi Boxing, can be described as the base camp of Xingyi Boxing.

The three of them went into the city and casually found a passer-by to inquire, and immediately got the information they wanted.

Shizu and Shigong did not open a martial arts hall in the city, but lived in Mazhuang Village outside the city, and would recruit some talented villagers in their spare time.

As soon as you enter the city, you have to go out of the city.

"Alas, I paid the entrance tax again in vain."

The three of them paid their own entry taxes to the city, so Jin Hu's complaint would not cause Meng Ke and Huang Jian to think blindly.

"Oh, the city tax ......"

Meng Ke shook his head and looked at the soldiers at the city gate who were reaching out to beg for money, and the corners of his mouth hooked up a mocking arc.

"How can the imperial court have such a tax? It's just a toll money that local officials come up with for corruption. ”

Huang Jian grabbed Meng Ke's arm and shook his head to signal him not to talk nonsense.

He found that from Shaoxing to Hebei, his little junior brother had changed, becoming more and more indignant and worldly, and he didn't seem to have much reverence for the official lord and the court.

"You don't know the people here, and no one will catch you when you go in."

Not to mention that the place of life is unfamiliar, even in Shaoxing, no one can stop the county if he wants to kill himself.

Meng Ke shook his head, he had his own calculations in his heart.

'Senior brother is not as flustered as last time, which is a good thing. ’

'The golden tiger doesn't look like it's easy either, it can be pulled up. ’

There are three gangs of heroes, and there are already two of them, and there is still one missing......

……

"Senior brother! I haven't seen you in a few years, I miss you to death! ”

In Mazhuang Village, when Huang Jian saw the people who came to greet him, he immediately pounced with cheers, looking like he was crying with joy when he reunited after a long absence.

"Haha!"

The senior brother's surname is Lin Minghai, and he is a kind-faced, short and stocky man, with a pair of iron arms and strong knots.

He smiled heartily and hugged Huang Jian.

"You stinky boy, you're finally here. I've been waiting for you here for four years! ”

Looking at the reunion of the two brothers after a long absence, a smile appeared on the corner of Meng Ke's mouth.

"Who is this?"

When the senior brother came four years ago, he also passed Uncle Jin's dart game, so he met with Jin Hu once.

He was actually asking about Meng Ke who was standing next to Jin Hu, and when he looked at Meng Ke's figure and pace, he knew that he was not simple, and he couldn't help but wonder.

"This is our little junior brother, Zhang Yantu, a new disciple of the master a year after you leave."

Huang Jian introduced.

"Oh! It turned out to be a junior brother. ”

Senior Brother's expression changed, and when he heard that he had only been in the school for three years, he subconsciously thought that Meng Ke had gone through the back door to squeeze out the same door, so that he had gotten this opportunity to give guidance.

Huang Jian quickly noticed that Senior Brother's face was wrong, and remembered Senior Brother's jealous and hateful character, so he immediately explained: "Senior Brother, don't look at the leap earth has only been in the field for three years, and his strength is not weaker than mine now. If it's a life-and-death fight, I can only fight him. ”

"Only sixty percent? Second junior brother, you have been slacking off all these years! ”

"Ahem......"

Huang Jian's old face turned red, "Sixty percent is still leap earth, and I only have forty percent of the certainty that I can win." ”

The senior brother sneered and sloppily and helped Huang Jian open the topic.

"Runtu, let's learn from each other if we have the chance."

Meng Ke is also a martial arts madman, and he has nothing to do with such a request.

"Let's go, the carriage will stop here, I'll take you to meet the master and ancestor first!"

In the lobby of Mazhuang Village, the master Li Yuankui was a kind elder, he had already received the news that the three of them had entered the village, and looked at the apprentices who had come all the way to meet him, and his face was full of eager smiles.

After kneeling three times and knocking nine times, the three of them gave Li Yuankui another cup of tea.

"Good, good, all good boys. You go down first, Ah Hai will lead you to find a room to live in, and I will come tomorrow to assess your martial arts." ”

Li Yuankui waved his hand, signaling that the three of them could go down and rest.

"Don't worry, leave it all to me!"

Lin Hai patted Li Yuankui's chest and assured him, and immediately led the three of them to say goodbye, then turned around and walked out the door.

Soon, under the arrangement of the senior brother, the three of them lived in the same courtyard with him.
