Three days later, the sky was clear and cloudless, and Qiu Hu and the two finally came to the foot of a mountain. It was noon, and the two of them were tired, their faces were covered with sweat and dirt, and they couldn't see their faces clearly.

The two of them escaped from Cloud City and were empty, and in the past few days, they have taken a shortcut over the mountains and mountains, all by eating some wild fruits and drinking some river water to stick all the way to here, and the straw sandals on the dog's feet can faintly see the thumb.

It's just that at this time, Qiu Hu looked up at the stone staircase in front of him that couldn't be seen at a glance, and spread straight into the sky towards the mountain, and he already had a bad premonition in his heart, but he still asked without giving up:

"Brother Dog...... Master, his old man, wouldn't he live on this mountain? ”

"Hmm...... You're not quite right" The dog baby turned her head and smiled at Qiu Hu, "Hehe, it's actually the top of the mountain......"

Qiu Hu: "......"

"Forget it, I won't worship this division, I think it's not bad to pass by a family that struck iron just now."

"Don't, junior brother, it's just a kick to the door, and I went up in the blink of an eye, and the master is waiting for us."

"A day ago, you told me that you would go over the mountain in front of you, and you said that you would just cross the river in front of you, and then you passed through this town, saying that the master lived behind the mountain temple outside the town, and now after this temple, you said that there is still this mountain......"

"Isn't this mountain behind the temple? Therefore, after climbing these stone stairs, you will be able to meet the master when you reach the top of the mountain. ”

"I don't want to believe it anymore."

"Ouch, let's go, let's go, soon."

"I can't go."

"Don't make a fuss, or I'll carry you?"

"Okay."

“？？？”

In the evening, under the setting sun, the two figures supported each other and staggered to the top of the mountain, and came to a row of wooden fences.

In the small courtyard, an old man with gray hair was wearing a yellow and gray vest, sitting on a small wooden bench, snorting the dry tobacco on his mouth, and raising his eyebrows and squinting at the two people who slowly moved into the courtyard.

"Senior brother..... I seem to have seen a big yellow dog spitting fairy breath....." Qiu Hu raised his head vigorously, his eyes were confused, and he was almost moved forward a little by the dog.

"Heh... Scold... You're done with Huzi, that's the master's ....." The dog baby is already at the end of the crossbow, and he, who shares part of Qiu Hu's weight, trembles like chaff in his legs.

"Puff ......"

As soon as the two of them walked up to the old man, they fell directly to the ground, motionless like two piles of dead meat, and after a breath or two, a heavy snoring sounded......

The old man knocked the dog's head with a cigarette stick, looked at Qiu Hu who was lying on the dog's body, took a puff of smoke again, and grinned and scolded: "Stinky boy, I lost my foot, and I actually brought a living person back for me......"

Qiu Hu didn't know how long he had been asleep, and vaguely in his dream he seemed to see an old yellow dog smoking a big cigarette, punching and kicking himself and the dog, and at the end he spat out a foul language, which was just some foul language that he had never heard.

"Little bastard! What laugh at what laughs? Add another stone to Lao Tzu! ”

The old yellow dog picked up a stone the size of a watermelon and smashed it towards Qiu Hu's door unsuspectingly, Qiu Hu suddenly felt a sharp pain in his face, and sat up from the bed with a sudden opening of his eyes.

What caught my eye was a small wooden house, without any decoration, not even a table or chairs, only a stone bed lying under him, and a simple bamboo mat on the bed. The door of the wooden house is rough wood, the roof is paved with rubble, there are no windows, and the ground is made of loess.

Where is this? I remember vaguely climbing to the top of the mountain, could it be that this is the Taoist temple of the dog baby master? Can..... It's not like that.

"The one inside, since you're awake, get out of here!"

A thunderous shout directly frightened Qiu Hu, as if it was in his ears, Qiu Hu put on his shoes in a hurry and pushed the door and flew out, a set of actions flowing, without any thinking and hesitation at all.

As soon as he went out, the sun stabbed Qiu Hu so that he couldn't open his eyes for a while, and hurriedly covered it with his hand, so that he could barely see the situation in front of him. It doesn't matter if you don't look at it, you will be shocked when you see it:

I saw that under the scorching sun, the dog baby was stepping on the saddle with horse steps, double wine jars on his head, two hanging fire bricks in his hands, two rows of wine bowls on his legs, and the incense ash under the crotch was burning.

Beside him was a tall, skinny old man, holding a cigarette stick, looking at Qiu Hu who rushed out of the house with a fierce face.

"Hey, hey, junior brother, you're awake!"

When the dog baby saw Qiu Hu stunned in place, she smiled at Qiu Hu, but this smile looked more ugly than crying on her sweaty ugly face.

"Bang!"

"Ouch!"

"Laugh at your mother!"

The old man's irritable cigarette stick waved on the dog's head, and then he blew his beard and glared at Qiu Hu and shouted:

"Come over to Lao Tzu!"

Qiu Hu walked slowly towards the old man with some stupidity, in fact, his first reaction was to slip away, but he also knew that the tall and thin old man in front of him was probably the master with great powers in the mouth of the dog baby, even if he wanted to run, he was afraid that he would be directly lifted back after only taking two steps with his legs and feet.

"Division... Good master. Qiu Hu lowered his head and whispered.

"What?" The old man tilted his head and stared at the big and small eyes, and directly slammed into Qiu Hu's face, "Little rabbit cub, aren't you still talking about dreams, who is your master?" ”

Qiu Hu was so frightened by the sudden approach to the old man that he gasped, but he didn't flinch in the slightest, but clenched his fists and continued to lower his head and said, "You are my master." ”

"Hahahaha." The old man looked up to the sky and laughed directly, "You kid is not shooting a target on the clouds, and you will put your mother's empty cannon!" ”

"When did Lao Tzu accept you as an apprentice?"

"Master, I took in the apprentices on your behalf."

Qiu Huzheng didn't know how to respond, and the dog baby said to the old man with a flattering expression on the side.

But who knew that the old man didn't look at the dog baby at all, but just continued to stare at Qiu Hu, making Qiu Hu's heart furious.

"Master, really, he has a good foundation and is also clever, so he is the most suitable for ....."

Before the dog baby finished speaking, the old man waved his right hand, and the cigarette stick in his hand flew out and hit the dog baby's chest with a "swish".

"Ahh

The dog baby screamed and flew back more than a foot, and the bottles and cans on his body fell and shattered to the ground, and under Qiu Hu's surprised gaze, the cigarette stick was directly flipped in the air and bounced back into the old man's hand.

But in all this, the old man's gaze stayed on Qiu Hu from beginning to end, and did not move away, which made Qiu Hu secretly surprised in his heart, and at the same time, he was sure that the strong old man in front of him was undoubtedly the master of the dog.

"Hey, hey, hey, master, you're doing it!"

The dog baby quickly got up, ran to Qiu Hu's side, and said to the old man with a smile on his face, it seemed that the blow just now did not cause him any harm.

"Hmph," the old man blew his beard and turned his head away, "Come to me when the time comes, I want to see if you are a cat wearing a tiger skin, and you are pretending to be majestic." ”

"Congratulations to the master." The dog baby pretended to bow to the old man's back, and then said to Qiu Hule: "Huzi, the master plans to take you as an apprentice!" Hahaha. ”

Qiu Hu was puzzled by the sudden change in the scene, and he didn't know how to speak for a while.

"Hey, don't look at the master who looks vicious, in fact, he is good to me, he has a rule, that is, he never admits punishment and does not admit beating, as long as he hits me, I can make a request to him afterwards, and I can't refuse." The dog baby said to Qiu Hu with a smile.

"Yes...... Does this have anything to do with him agreeing to take me as an apprentice? ”

Qiu Hu still didn't understand the meaning of the dog's words.

"Huzi, Huzi, I just praised you for your cleverness in front of the master." The dog baby looked at Qiu Hu with disgust, "What do you think, what will I ask?" Of course, I took you as an apprentice, how could the master not know? What did the master do just now? Let you go to him in time, this is to test you, you know? Once we pass the test, aren't we really brothers, hehe. ”

"Oh~~" Qiu Hu suddenly realized, and suddenly felt that the dog baby was so smart? But there is still a warmth in his heart, this way, although they have not known each other for a long time, but he knows that the dog baby has always done things for his sake, if there is really such a senior brother, then why not?

"Goo~~"

A stomach scream broke the conversation between the two, and Qiu Hu suddenly felt a strong hunger rush over him, and then suddenly realized that he hadn't eaten a hot meal for so many days, and his hands and feet seemed to have become paralyzed at this moment, and he almost fell on the dog.

"Hahaha, I almost forgot, junior brother, you haven't eaten for so long, let's take a walk, senior brother will take you to the mountains to fill your stomach with some game, this night's test is physical work......"

Immediately, the dog baby took Qiu Hu's shoulder, talked and laughed and walked towards the mountain, and next to the small wooden house where Qiu Hu lived, the old man was picking up stones with a big basket, and a smile flashed in the corner of his eyes.
