Meng Yishan lay motionless on the ground, if it weren't for the fact that his mouth and nose were still panting, it would look like a corpse. The unlucky Liu Qi lay beside him a few feet away, also motionless.

After a long time, Lao Meng sat up half of his body, from head to toe, there was no one in his limbs that did not hurt, dozens of wounds were scraped by thorns and stone ridges, and there was no place around him.

Trying to move, the master of Dazhai finally stood up, shaking his head that was still faint, Meng Yishan looked around, it was already at the foot of the West Mountain, he and Liu Qi hugged and rolled down, the speed was faster than any light work, straight out of ten miles away, before stopping.

The smoke of the burning village on the mountain was seen from afar, mixed with sporadic firelight, which burned Meng Yishan to the point of great confusion. The good foundation is gone, and when the officers and soldiers get the news, they will definitely search the mountains and arrest the remnants. The twilight is melting, the four fields are lonely, although the world is big, there is no place for Lao Meng to stand.

Meng Yishan was born and never left the southern foot of Taihang within a radius of 100 miles, full of earth leopards! That's right! The lord of the village slapped his thigh, remembering that the outgoing prefect came from Luoyang, and he had already heard that Luoyang City was very prosperous, so he could go there to mingle!

I didn't have a penny on my body, and I wanted to eat in Luoyang? Fuck this outfit just right. If you can't do it, you will be a one-legged thief, and you will be robbed all the way to Luoyang, hey, when you get to the ground, isn't Lao Tzu a rich man! ”

The lord of the big village who was about to go to the black thought proudly.

You can't scare people with your bare hands, and you have to find a blade to fill the scene when you rob, and besides, this clothes are torn up to the flesh, and they have to be replaced if they are not worn, otherwise they will be too embarrassed to be the face of the master of the village.

Meng Yishan thought that he could only go to Cao Guizi's wild shop first, and get some silver taels there!

Cao Kidnapper was originally the small leader of the Black Tiger Village, many years of fighting and breaking a leg, known as the abductor, since the year before last to ask for a wife, he left the knife head to lick the blood, opened a wild shop twenty miles outside the mountain, selling some mountain game to live. usually helps the Black Tiger Village sentinel to spy on some news, and he is a half-white and half-black little person in the rivers and lakes.

The scarred master of the village cheered up and bowed to Liu Qiyi, who was uncertain about life and death: "Seventh brother, Lao Tzu fled for his life, and I won't forget your benefits in the future." ”

Wangshan ran a dead horse, hit the distance and saw the three thatched houses with flashing lights, and when he arrived at Meng Yishan, where everyone had lost his strength, he almost climbed to the door with his hands and feet.

"Open the door, kidnapper!" The hoarse Lord of Meng Zhai shouted.

The closed firewood door was open, and a fat woman in her thirties walked out of the house, holding a lamp in her hand, and when she saw Meng Yishan's ruined appearance that did not look like a human figure, she was so frightened that her mother screamed!

The woman shuddered and cried out to the house, "Come, master!" ”

As soon as the shout came out, a dark and thin man ran out of the house, walked up to the woman with a limp and said, "What are you talking about?" ”

The man came out and was also startled when he saw Lao Meng's tragic condition, and felt that this bloodstained man was very familiar, and waited until Meng Yishan shouted again: "Abductor, it's me!" Only then did he recognize that he was the owner of his own village.

Cao Guizi saw that Meng Yishan was alone here, although he was surprised in his heart, he hurriedly said: "Come into the house!" He slapped his wife again, and said angrily: "You mother-in-law, don't you even know the master of the village?" ”

When he entered the house, with the light in his hand, Meng Yishan cleaned it very much, changed his clothes, even smeared the wound with medicine, sat on the main table and tasted the soju stored in the wild shop, and ate the braised game, only then did he feel that the whole person came to life.

Cao Guizi, who was dedicated to accompanying him on the side, asked cautiously: "Why is the owner of the village injured like this?" Was it the officers and soldiers who broke the stockade? What happened on the mountain. ”

The owner of the big village who bit off most of the chicken legs and chewed the food in his mouth said: "Don't mention it, three old people have come to serve the cottage!" ”

The kidnapper exclaimed: "Old Dao, isn't it the White Lotus Sect?" What kind of magic did you use? ”

"Alas! Why is there not even a well-informed person around the owner of the village. If my kidnapper is still on the mountain, and I have prepared the black dog blood woman, the sunflower and other things, I will definitely be able to break the spell of the demon path,"

Meng Yishan squirted out a mouthful of wine just into his throat, and laughed: "Yes, with your abduction, you will definitely be able to ambush the demon Dao." ”

"Wudang Mountain's kung fu is really hard." Meng Yishan sighed and told the story of how the three Taoists broke the village today, and the kidnapper knew the root cause, and also scolded the Wudang thief for a while, and said some auspicious words that the owner of the village will be able to make a comeback. flattered the owner of the village very comfortably.

Lao Meng was full of wine and food, his body was spread on the bed, he didn't care about everything, he wanted to sleep when he was groggy, Cao Guizi said in his heart: "Your cottage is broken and there is nowhere to run, don't rely on me and don't leave, it's a bottomless hole that can't be filled." ”

Cautiously said to Meng Yishan: "What are the plans of the village owner in the future?" ”

The owner of Dazhai looked at the kidnapper and said: "First recuperate at your place, and then go to Luoyang in two days!" ”

The kidnapper was relieved, but he heard a knock on the door outside, and someone shouted outside: "Shop!" ”

Meng Yishan was shocked when he heard this, and he jumped up from the bed with a bone in his head, looking at Cao Guizi with disbelief in his eyes.

The kidnapper was also stunned for a moment, and heard the man outside say again: "Shop, open the door!" ”

Cao Guizi, who came back to his senses, hurriedly said "here", and hurriedly went to open the door, while making a dodging gesture to Meng Yishan.

The owner of the village understood, quickly stepped off the ground, lowered the door curtain, and stood there with a doubt, "Who is here to kidnap the child in this wilderness?" ”

The kidnapper opened the door, and with the cold wind poured in, he walked in from the outside, wearing a azure robe, with a loyal and honest face, the honest Taoist priest looked at the environment after entering the door, and was a little disgusted, but he still sat down in front of a broken table, and said to Cao Guizi: "Shop, there is food, rectify some, and then scald the pot of wine, and bring it together!"

Seeing that Cao Guizi was still looking at him in a daze, the Taoist was a little impatient and urged: "What, don't go quickly!" Cook more meat and it won't cost you money. ”

The kidnapper hurriedly shouted to the inner room: "Mother-in-law, quickly get a few good dishes, and bring the old wine to the Taoist chief." ”

The kidnapper's wife agreed, and went to the kitchen to work. As soon as Meng Yishan heard that a Taoist priest came, he dipped his index finger in some spit, clicked on the window paper and looked out, the road was narrow, and he met the loyal and thick-faced Qingxi in the three roads of Wudang.

After a while, the kidnapper's wife quickly cleaned up the dishes.

The wine and food are complete, the Qingxi Dao people drink the scalded wine, just a plate of braised beef, pour themselves to drink, very self-satisfied, a few glasses of wine in the stomach, looking at the ugly abducted wife also felt a little bit of posture, pulled her over, started to be rude, and inevitably had some evil deeds in the mouth.

Cao Guizi's face turned red with anger, rushed over and pulled his wife, and said, "You thief and Taoist, how can a monk flirt with a woman from a good family!" ”

"Boring!" Qingxi was stopped from being interested, a little stunned, and then looked at the abductor's wife, and took out a piece of silver with one or two weights from his bosom and slapped it on the table, and said with a smile: "Your mother-in-law's vegetables are fried well, and it is considered a reward in addition to banknotes." ”

The abductor's wife hurriedly stepped forward, grabbed the ingot of silver in her hand, shook the fat on her face, and said to Qingxi Lianjie: "Thank you, thank you, I'll give the Taoist another pot of wine!" "If you touch it twice, you will have silver, and it is not a yellow flower girl, and the abductor's wife is also very luxurious.

Looking at Cao Guizi, whose face was a little darkened on the side, Qingxi, a simple and honest person, was even happier, and he drank delicious food and wine for a while, and said to himself: "Qingsong child! Hey, the beauty of sending a letter to Uncle Yichen, Senior Brother still sent me!

Wudang faction for more than 100 years, since Qiu Xuanqing, a disciple of Sanfeng Patriarch, was summoned to Beijing by Ming Taizu, appointed Taichangqing, Enfeng for three generations, and began to be honored and noble among the true Taoists, the Taoist elders have been involved with the royal family.

Yichen is the younger brother of Yiding, the head of Wudang in this generation, who is resident in Beijing, and from time to time enters the palace to teach the emperor some Taoist Tibetan and alchemy mercury health preservation methods, which is even valued by Emperor Jingtai, and is a hot celebrity in the palace.

Qingxi was very happy to be able to go to Jin to meet this big man, and while drinking, he was thinking about how to prepare some expensive gifts, and worked hard to please his uncle, wouldn't it be beautiful to be an official in the future.

If you can mix it with a real lack of key dispatch, what kind of power is it, and I think about the scene of being called Lord Qingxi, "Is it still called Qingxi...... is inevitably not rich enough, and the name of the common family is Zhang Changjiang. ”

The future Lord Zhang Changjiang was thinking to himself, the master of Meng Zhai in the inner room and Cao Guizi, who hid in the house, had already rushed straight to the bull fight.

The kidnapper and Meng Yishan exchanged glances, and tiptoed to lead Lao Meng to the thatched house in the backyard.

Cao Guizi said to Meng Yishan: "The owner of the village, this thief is the Wudang Taoist who destroyed the cottage?" ”

Meng Yishan nodded fiercely and said, "It's him, what is it called Qingxi." ”

The kidnapper's face was not very good, he wanted to say cruel words but was silent, Wudang Mountain is not easy to mess with...... His face was even more aggrieved.

Meng Yishan looked at him and said, "You don't have to be afraid, you don't have to be afraid, Lao Tzu will wait for this Qingxi miscellaneous hair to leave your store, and go up to fight him!" It will not affect you husband and wife. ”

"The owner of the village! I'm not a bastard! ”

Cao Guizi finally made up his mind, "I have a way, and it will definitely end up in this house!" ”

Meng Yishan looked at the old Jianghu Cao Kidnapper and said, "What idea do you have, let's refer to it in detail!" ”

"Sweat medicine!"

Lord Meng Dazhai stared at the crutch and said, "It's too low!" Provoke the heroes on the rivers and lakes to laugh! ”

The kidnapper thought that Meng Yishan disagreed, and wanted to persuade him again, but he didn't expect the master of the village to laugh again: "It's right to deal with that Qingxi miscellaneous hair." ”

The kidnapper took Meng Yishan to the corner of the thatched house, smashed open two green bricks, took out an oiled paper bag from the crack in the wall, and said to Lao Meng: "It's here." ”

The owner of the village stared at the crutch suspiciously, as if flowers had suddenly grown on his body.

Cao Kidnapper sneered and said: "The owner of the village, my abductor has cut off food and clothing since leaving the cottage, this small shop is in too bad condition, the month is empty, and it is not good to go back to the mountain to ask for your help, there is no way but to prepare sweat medicine, specialize in some passing merchants, and earn some food and clothing." ”

Meng Yishan said in his heart, "Okay, you kidnapper, your wild shop is doing such a business!" He urged the kidnapper: "Who cares about you, hurry up!" ”

The kidnapper said: "Don't be busy, the owner of the village will find a blade first, and I will apply it later." ”

Master Meng Dazhai turned around twice in the small courtyard, his eyes lit up, and he picked up a big iron fork with dung, put it in his hand and said, "Okay!" ”

Cao Guizi also flashed into the ear room and took a Pu knife, held it in his hand, carefully took Meng Yishan and hid lightly in the kitchen, and shouted to the outside world: "You dead mother-in-law, the chicken is burnt, why don't you come over and redo it for the Taoist chief." ”

The abductor's wife entered the kitchen in response, and was taken aback when she saw Meng Yishan and the blade in the kidnapper's hand, the kidnapper waved his hand and made an oblique gesture, and his wife settled down, remembering the Taoist priest's generosity, she eagerly took the sweat medicine bag from the kidnapper's hand, and easily mixed the medicine powder with a few cold and hot dishes, and put a little wine into it, dissipated the medicinal effect, and brought it to Qingxi outside in the tray with a smile.

Looking at the movements of the abductor's wife, Meng Yishan's back was a little cold, "Familiar hands, I don't know how many heroes have been pitted!" ”

Qingxi outside did not suspect him, seeing that a fried bamboo shoot was very tender, he tasted two sips with chopsticks, and drank half of the medicinal wine, and the abductor's wife did not leave the table after serving, and the appearance of welcoming guests with a smiling face did not show any inappropriateness, and he clumsily said some village dialect to flatter Qingxi Daoist.

Qingxi was overjoyed, tasted these "medicinal foods" repeatedly, and drank the wine to the bottom of the cup, his alcohol was not high, he was happy, he drank a little excessively, plus the sweat medicine helped, Rao is master of profound internal strength could not stand it, not to mention that his internal strength cultivation was the weakest in the Wudang Sanqing, the upper and lower eyelids were fighting, and people became double shadows.

After the effect of the medicine was opened, Qingxi was shaky, and at this time he had already noticed, "No, black shop!" ”

I wanted to breathe, but my tongue was wooden.

Before he fell to the ground, Meng Yishan and the abductor jumped out from behind, the master of the village picked up the dung fork, Cao Guizi brandished the Pu knife, and the two blades went together, not to mention Cao Guizi's knife, Meng Yishan was resentful, and shot the iron fork to pierce Qingxi's heart, and the whole person was nailed to the table, and the tent was settled.

Looking at the Qingxi Daoist in the pool of blood, Meng Yishan took a sip and said: "It's really useless, I can't even block it, and I let my grandfather fold his name and do such a shameless thing!" ”

The kidnappers who did this shameless thing together were calm, and they turned on the lights with their wives, and touched into the Qingxi robe to look for goods.

This Qingxi is a wealthy Taoist priest, with more than ten taels of broken silver on his body, most of which have been scraped away by the abductor, and at the end he also found a thread-bound booklet from Qingxi, and a wax-sealed letter.

Some curious Meng Yishan took two things from the hands of the kidnapper, and the owner of the village who had read the private school for two years first looked at the booklet, and saw that there were four words written on the cover, "Xuanyang True Solution", the handwriting was barely recognizable, but he didn't know what it meant, and he opened it to see that it was even bigger, and it was written "Kanli, Dragon and Tiger, Yin and Yang or something"

"What heavenly book?"

After a hasty flip, there were some depictions of naked human figures in the back, with some words that I didn't understand with cinnabar, which aroused the interest of the owner of the village, "Spring Palace?" Why are they all men? This thief can't learn well! ”

Take a closer look, there are "the sun, the people, the hundred will" these famous acupoints, he is recognized by the master of the village, and then think about being carried in the arms of the dead ghost Qingxi, it is estimated that it is a book of practice, he was attacked by the three ways of Wudang cottage, and he has a deep understanding of the power of Wudang martial arts.

Wudang martial arts is known for its internal strength, the essence is all in a book of Zhang Sanfeng's "Xuanyang Sutra" written in Hongwu for three years, which is evolved from the Taoist Inner Dangong, because of its obscure language, esoteric and difficult to understand, the elders of the past dynasties will use their own practice to annotate the scriptures, and several generations will integrate this volume of Xuanyang Sutra annotations as the "Xuanyang Sutra" for the introduction to use.

Because Wudang's internal strength is the most important foundation, Qingxi, who is sent to take the middle-aged annual examination, is afraid that he will not be able to pass the practice, so he transcribed a copy and brought it out to have time to figure it out along the way, so as to facilitate the year-end exam.

Unexpectedly, people were turned out to be in Cao Kidnapper's wild shop, and Meng Yishan, a bandit, was cheaper.

Meng Yishan, who had put the book in his arms, said to the crutch who was staring at him: "I don't know what the book is, leave it for future reference." ”

The kidnapper said secretly: "You lied to that stupid bird!" I don't know how to read, and I know it's a baby. But he has his own way of survival as a small person, so he skipped the topic with a smile, and gave a large portion of the silver scavenged from Qingxi to Lao Meng.

The master of the village tore open the letter again, and saw that it was written:

Uncle Yichen:

The three teachers and nephews infiltrated the "Si Ba Tu'er" on September 11 to receive the seven masters who arrived in advance, and the murderous letter came on September 13, the operation failed, and they did not receive "that nobleman". Seven people were killed by the Wara general Boyan Timur with broken bones and eagle claws in the general's mansion, this person's martial arts have become a grandmaster, only please come out of the head of the master can be reached, please consider the master.

The apprentice nephew Song respects and wishes his uncle good health and good health

Who is the nobleman? It seems to be a big deal, but the name of this Boyan Timur sounds like a Mongol, and it seems to be very powerful.

This letter is confidential, but it is of little use to Lao Meng, so he handed it to the abductor very casually and said: "This letter seems to be a bit important, Lao Tzu can't understand it, so leave it to you." ”

The illiterate crutch also took the letter casually, and he was not interested in keeping this thing, so he threw it into the stove with Qingxi's clothes, and it burned in a burst of firelight.

The kidnapper turned out Qingxi, and he ruthlessly showed the evil anger of the humiliation of the mother-in-law, although the two large portions of silver were given to Meng Yishan, and he also made a small fortune, and he was very happy. Hurriedly asked his wife to rewarm the wine and stir-fry, and said that he wanted to have a good drink with the owner of the village.

Meng Yishan knew that he was the owner of the village who was out of breath, and he didn't have much weight in the kidnapper's heart, so when he was carrying the book into his arms, he saw the kidnapper's eyes flashing, I was afraid that he was a little calculated, don't let him be assassinated, and be the companion of the dead ghost Qingxi, or leave early! He pushed to the kidnappers that he was afraid that the officers and soldiers would come to investigate, and it would not be good to affect the kidnappers' family, and they would have to go on the road overnight.

No matter how hard the abductor stayed, he insisted on leaving, and the Cao abductor, who couldn't be persuaded to do so, had to ask his wife to wrap a package and put some dry food into it, Meng Yishan put it all on his back, and asked the abductor for the Pu knife in his hand, and said goodbye to the abductor and his wife.

Meng Yishan, who went out, took a big stride, wearing a Fan Yang hat on his head, carrying a Zhangerpu knife on his shoulder, with a blanket hanging on the knife body, a star on his head, facing the night wind, and walking in the direction of Luoyang, and after a while, it dissolved into one with the thick night.
