In a large mansion deep in the alleys of the capital, I happily came to Master Qiao Zheng's bedroom, only to see that Ouyang Zhenming was also there.

He respectfully hugged his fists and said, "I've seen Master, I've seen Uncle Zhenming." I wonder what happened when Master summoned me? ”

Ouyang smiled: "I'm happy, you have been in the capital for a few days, since the establishment of the Howling Wind Pavilion, the prince is really very nervous, small actions are constant, but there are many flaws, he actually ordered the Sky Shaking Tiger to attack the old general Qu Yan, as a result, guess what?" The Sky Shaking Tiger was seriously injured by General Qu Lao. ”

Happy eyes full of surprise: "Seriously injured? Dying? ”

Ouyang shook his head and said, "He should have suffered internal injuries, but he is not dead, and his internal strength is too depleted, so it is estimated that his White Tiger will not be able to move at present." ”

Happy was a little disappointed, but his eyes rolled, and he soon became happy again, and asked tentatively, "You mean, he's half dead?" Then if someone strikes at him at this time, won't he be caught? ”

Qiao Zheng immediately said: "Hey, I can tell you, don't have any delusions, this Sky Shaking Tiger has a large number of masters in the mansion of the capital, and now he is injured, and there are many masters around him, if you dare to act rashly, I will immediately ask Zixu to send you home, and never want to leave Minshan." ”

Sure enough, Master Mo Ruo, who knew me, pursed his lips happily and laughed, "Master, don't worry, without your permission, I won't dare anymore." Although the Sky Shaking Tiger is my enemy, I know that what I have to do now is not just to avenge myself, there are many bullies like Liang Guo, I can't waste all my energy on them, I have to help Master do big things first, and then clean them up one by one. ”

Ouyang smiled: "That's right, happy, you are now a disciple of the Wing Prince, a supporter of the King of Chenjun, your identity is extraordinary, your vision should be more long-term, as long as the prince is abolished, then the Sky Shaking Tiger is a paper tiger, you can take his life at any time." ”

Happy forehead: "Yes, happy to understand." ”

Qiao Zheng said: "You have a good idea for your Uncle Zhenming, a Xiaofeng Pavilion will make the prince anxious, now Uncle Zhenming values you very much, no, I'm here to help you with errands again, these days, I see that you are quite idle, do you want to go out to activities and exercise your muscles?" ”

"Moving muscles? That's great. ”

Looking at their expressions, it was obvious that they had a job to do, so they became happy and excited, and said, "Uncle Zhenming wants me to do something, just say it." ”

Ouyang Zhenming said with a smile: "I know that you are willing to take this job, but this errand is not so easy to do, and the risk must be very large, I have discussed it with your master for a long time, and he still suggests it for you to try." ”

Happy smiled: "As the old saying goes, 'there is nothing difficult in the world, but I am afraid of people with hearts', Uncle Zhenming, there are still happy brains, you can just say it."

Ouyang restrained his smile, and said: "King Chenjun has a friend, named Zang Feiyi, nicknamed Quicksand, now fifty out of five, he once belonged to the Jianghu and Hubei faction, founded the Quicksand Gate, and now he is also a well-known figure in the rivers and lakes, and his status is second only to the Northern Sect's Grandmaster Netherworld Sage Dongfang Jue. Dongfang Jue, many years ago, began to support the king of Chenjun, but recently, he suddenly disappeared and disappeared, and then the master of the quicksand gate suddenly came out, his appearance made the prince like a fish in the throat, now, we have got the exact news, the prince ordered someone to find Zang Feiyi, whether to persuade or kill, it is not known, who is the person who went, I don't know. ”

happily said: "You want me to protect this Zang Feiyi senior?" ”

Ouyang nodded and said, "It's really smart, that's exactly what it means." However, he is too upright, which requires you to give him advice, try not to let him anger the prince, and deal with the prince, we also have to play a little trick. This quicksand senior has strong martial arts, but his personality is a little weird. ”

Happy asked, "Where is the quicksand predecessor now?" ”

Ouyang: "Qilin Mountain outside Jingzhou City. But report my name, and he will not hurt you. ”

Qiao Zheng said: "Happy, this operation is secret, you can only go alone, are you afraid?" ”

Happy face Ling Ran, replied: "The soldiers will block the water and cover the earth, no matter who his prince sends, evil does not prevail over righteousness, why be afraid of happiness?" ”

Qiao Zheng said with satisfaction: "'Evil does not suppress the good', it is good, it is really my Qiao Zheng's disciple, who achieves great things, must first work hard and work his muscles and bones, you need to hone more." ”

Happy thought for a while, and said: "Jingzhou is in the northwest, only five hundred miles away from the capital, and it will take two days to speed up." Then there can be no further delay, and I'll leave right away. ”

Qiao Zheng said with a smile: "Okay, go ahead, remember, this senior is good at martial arts and loves to fight, you have to deal with everything carefully." ”

Happy hugged his fists and said: "Hehe, the last thing I'm afraid of is fighting, I'm afraid that I can't fight, Master, Uncle Zhenming, I'm happy to say goodbye!" ”

With that, he turned and walked out.

When I came to the door, I looked up at the clear blue sky, thinking that I could finally do something for King Chenjun and Master, and I couldn't help but feel joy and excitement in my heart.

Inside the house, Ouyang said with a smile: "Lord Wang, in fact, as long as I send someone to inform the quicksand about this matter, Zifeng is not the opponent of the quicksand at all, you want to take the opportunity to exercise and be happy." ”

Qiao Zheng bowed his head and said: "That's right, good steel is constantly quenched at high temperatures, this is a good opportunity for him, I hope he can provoke the beam." There is another reason......"

He paused, looked at Ouyang's questioning gaze, shook his head, and said, "It's nothing, I'll tell you when I have the result." ”

……

In a few moments, a fast horse galloped out of the city, happy and full of pride, and embarked on the journey of the mission for the first time.

In order to rush to Qilin Mountain in front of the people arranged by the prince, he was happy to hurry all the way, not daring to have the slightest stagnation, let alone staying in the store, eating a piece of bread when he was hungry, drinking a sip of water in the sheepskin water bag when he was thirsty, and letting the horses eat some grass and rest. In the middle of the night, he found a place in the woods and went in, curled up with his body in his arms and took a nap.

After sleeping for an hour or two, he got up again and galloped on his horse. In this way, in the evening of the next day, he rushed to Qilin Mountain, more than three hours earlier than expected.

Qilin Mountain, the mountain is steep, the mountains are stacked, it is very magnificent and magnificent, you can't see the edge, you can't see the top in the clouds and mist, there is the illusion of going straight to the sky, a mountain stone paves the stairs, all the way winding up.

"Wow, it's so high, it's much higher than Minshan." Looking up at the towering peaks, he swallowed his saliva happily, no matter how high he was, he lifted the front swing and stepped on the steps.

Along the endless steps, twists and turns, and when they reached the halfway up the mountain, the twilight was getting dark, and the bottomless cliff clouds at the feet were surrounding, and a layer of goosebumps rose on the back of the happy back, and murmured:

"My mother, if this falls, I'm afraid it will fall apart, and I won't be able to fight it together."

Looking up, he saw that countless steps were still winding upward, and he had to continue to walk up, thinking to himself: What is this quicksand gate person doing so high? Aren't you tired of going up and down every day? It's better for us to go to Minshan, there are no steps, and we go down the mountain through the forest, and the mountain is not so steep.

Hundreds of steps up, I finally saw two stone pillars with a thickness of two feet and a height of two feet on the side of the head, and the word "quicksand" was engraved on the stone beam. When it finally arrived, it turned out that he was not at the top of the mountain. Happy to raise the leg and go inward.

Suddenly, out of nowhere, two young men wearing cyan robes and large knives at their waists flashed out, blocking his way.

"Who's coming?"

Happy hugged his fists at the two men, and raised his voice: "I am happy, I came to meet the senior of the Quicksand Gate Master Zang on the order of Mr. Ouyang." ”

"Ouyang? Which Ouyang? A man asked.

Happy replied: "Ouyang Zhenming." ”

Another man looked at him curiously, "You said your name was happy?" ”

Happy replied: "Happiness is below, and happiness is happiness below." ”

The man smiled indifferently: "There is such a name." Wait a minute, I'll go and report that our master is willing to see you before you can enter. ”

smiled happily and said, "There is Brother Lao." ”

This time I was happy and honest, and I stood obediently outside the door and waited.

After about a cup of tea, the man walked back, hugged his fist, and said, "Happy son, my master is invited, please come with me." ”

In the dim night, the mountains in the eyes of the previous eyes now seem to have lost their grandeur, but it looks a little dark and weird, and the side of the steps is also a bottomless cliff, if someone drinks too much, or falls asleep and walks here, it is just a blink of an eye, and I am happy to have a feeling of chill in my back.

Go up only thirty or forty steps, turn a corner, the terrain is flat and open, in front of Huo Ran cheerful, not far away you will see a high-walled compound, more than two zhang wide, three zhang high gate, on the black plaque on the top beam of the brown and red gate, the three big characters of "quicksand gate" look very imposing, more magnificent than the master's nameless deep mountain house. However, this is a sect, and Master is just a house.

This yard is really big, as soon as you enter the door, it is a bluestone paved open space, the plaque hanging under the ridge opposite, the book "Xi Wu Tang", there is no house under the corridor around, it turns out that this is a big school field, the lanterns lit everywhere, the huge school field is illuminated, through the school field, from the "Xi Wu Hall" plaque into another door, in front of you is a large courtyard.

Except for some lawns and tall trees, there is not much embellishment in the courtyard. The man walked all the way down the corridor, and finally stopped in front of a house, and looked up happily, only to see the plaque on the door engraved with the words "Juyingtang".

The man said, "Please wait, and let me go first." ”

Happy forehead: "I'm tired." ”

After the man entered, he walked out in the blink of an eye, and said, "Childe, our master invites you to come in." ”

"Thank you!"

Glad and politely thanked, he reached out and swung forward, raised his leg and stepped over the threshold and walked in.

In the spacious hall, the lights are bright, there are a total of eight seats on the east and west sides, and in the middle of the main seat sits an old man with a ruddy complexion, thick eyebrows and big eyes, and a half-foot beard on his chin, but his beard is white. His eyes were like torches, his spirit was shining, and he was holding a shelf, looking majestic, but he always had an extremely contrived illusion.

Happy was slightly stunned, and thought, didn't you say that there are five out of fifty? Why does this one look like five out of sixty? Could it be that Uncle Zhenming said that he was the wrong year? Or are you too anxious? But looking at this man sitting upright, he must not be wrong.

Seeing that the old man was staring up and down with a pair of round eyes, he happily stepped forward to give a big salute and said loudly:

"The younger generation is happy to have met the old Zang seniors."
