Taihao rode a horse, through the prosperity of the capital, and embarked on a journey to Niangniang Beach. Along the way, he was leisurely and contented, stopping from time to time to enjoy the scenery along the way. Mountains, rivers, and fields all flow in his sight, bringing him endless pleasure.

His horses were carefully selected by him in the capital, and they were snow-white and vigorous. Under the control of Taihao, it seems to understand the master's mind, galloping all the way, but without losing stability.

During the journey, Taihao did not encounter too many obstacles. Occasionally, when he encountered wild beasts in the mountains or thieves on the road, he easily dealt with them and showed superb martial arts. His swordsmanship is like flowing water, and every sword is full of power and beauty.

During the more than ten days of trip, Taihao enjoyed the scenery along the way. Whenever he stopped to rest, he would feel the magic and beauty of nature in his heart. He understands that this land has given birth to countless lives and witnessed the stories of countless heroes.

Finally, on a spring morning, Taihao arrived at Niangniang Beach. At this time, it is the spring of March, the water surface of the Yellow River is like a mirror, the sun is sprinkled on the water surface, sparkling, beautiful. The vegetation on Niangniang Beach also comes alive, and all kinds of wildflowers bloom one after another, exuding a faint fragrance.

Taihao took a deep breath and felt the breath of spring. He saw the petals swaying gently in the spring breeze, as if telling him the story of spring. The sight sent a warm current through him, and he felt as if he had returned to his childhood, when he was a carefree child, running and laughing across the land.

At this moment, the sky above Niangniang Beach is extremely blue, and the white clouds are fluttering, like a ball of white cotton wool. The sun hung high in the sky, and the golden light sprinkled all over the earth, covering Niangniangtan with a layer of golden brilliance.

On the banks of the Yellow River, the sparkling water reflects the afterglow of the setting sun. An old man held up a ferry boat and sent Taihao to Niangniang Beach. When Taihao stepped on the beach, the old man couldn't help but ask curiously: "Seeing that you are not a citizen of Niangniangtan, what are you doing here?" ”

Tai Hao looked at the beautiful scenery of Niangniang Beach, took a deep breath of fresh air, and replied, "I'm here to find Tian Maung's miracle doctor." ”

"Tian Xiang Divine Doctor?" The old man looked thoughtful, "He shouldn't be on the island during this time, he said that he went to the South China Sea." ”

Taihao frowned slightly: "It's a pity that I missed him." Then do you know if the Yuan Shi Elder who walked with Tian Maung Divine Doctor is still on the island? ”

The old man shook his head: "Are you talking about the first hero?" I haven't seen him in a few days, and I don't know where he's gone. ”

He paused, as if reminiscing about the past, "However, Doctor Tian Maung has a son on the island, you can go to him." ”

Taihao's eyes lit up: "It turns out that Tian Maung Divine Doctor still has a son?" Do you know where his son lives? ”

The old man smiled: "He lives with Tian Maung Divine Doctor, and you should recognize that house." ”

Taihao thanked the old man, and his heart was full of expectations. He decided to immediately go to find the son of Tian Maung's divine doctor, hoping to get some news about Master Yuan Shi from him.

Taihao came to the house of the miracle doctor and tied the horse to a tree outside the door. The tree is tall and straight, with lush foliage, and seems to welcome Taihao's arrival.

Then, Taihao gently knocked on the door of the house. The door opened, and a woman in her fifties appeared. She had a kind face and a hint of wariness in her eyes.

"Excuse me, are you here to see a doctor?" The woman asked, "Neither of you is at home today, so you can come back tomorrow." ”

Tai Hao bowed his hand: "Sister-in-law, I'm not here to see a doctor." I am Taihao, an old acquaintance of Tian Maung's miracle doctor. Before, Divine Doctor Tian Maung has been living here with my master, I would like to ask, is my master still alive now? ”

When the woman heard the word "Master", her expression suddenly became respectful: "Is your master the first hero?" ”

"Exactly!" Taihao replied.

"Hurry up, please come in!" The woman greeted Tai Hao warmly, "I am Feng Shi, the eldest daughter-in-law of Tian Maung's divine doctor." ”

Taihao stepped into the house and followed the women into a spacious and bright hall. There is a faint aroma of herbs in the hall, which makes people feel refreshed.

Tai Hao's heart tightened, and he hurriedly asked, "I don't know where my master is now?" ”

A trace of sadness flashed in Feng's eyes, and he sighed: "You're late, the first hero passed away last month." ”

Taihao was shocked: "My master passed away? How so? ”

Feng Shi said gloomily: "In the past six months, the body of the Yuan Shi Daxia has deteriorated, and he is no longer able to move. My wife Tayama and I have been doing our best to take care of him. Doctor Tian Maung once said that the first hero was seriously injured when he was young, and he left hidden dangers over the years. We ran out of medicines, but we couldn't save his life. ”

Tai Hao asked with a heavy heart, "Where is my master buried now?" ”

Feng replied: "He was not buried on Niangniang Beach, but chose a tomb near the bank of the Yellow River. It's not far from here, but you need to go ashore to get there. If you want to go to worship, I can ask him to take you there when Tayama returns. Tian Shan is the eldest son of Tian Maung's divine doctor. ”

Tai Hao was a little surprised: "I didn't know that Doctor Tian Maung had a son before. ”

"We've been living in the city and have opened a pharmacy. Ten years ago, Dr. Tian Maung persuaded Tian Shan to come back and inherit his medical skills. He said that if he passed away one day, he feared that his life's medical skills would be lost. ”

Tai Hao asked: "I heard the old man who ferryed that Tian Maung went to the South China Sea, so where is Tian Shan's god doctor now?" ”

Feng replied, "Doctor Tian Maung had already gone to the South China Sea seven days ago. I heard that an old friend of his was seriously ill and invited him over. Dr. Tayama has now gone to a nearby village, where the children are suffering from a strange disease of vomiting and diarrhea. He's been working there for two days and won't be back until tomorrow. You can stay here today, and when Tayama returns, you'll be able to see him. ”

Taihao asked again: "Did a woman named Nian Yu come here last year?" She is also my master's apprentice and my senior sister. ”

Feng Shi thought for a moment and shook his head: "Nian Yu? No, no apprentice of the Origin Hero has been here in the past few years. ”

Taihao was a little unwilling: "Think about it carefully, are you mistaken?" ”

Feng replied affirmatively: "No, I can't be mistaken. I've always lived here, and I don't know if the apprentice of the Origin Hero has ever come. ”

Tai Hao began to have some doubts, and whispered to himself: "Could it be that Shaoling deceived me?" ”

Although the voice was faint, Feng Shi still heard it, and she asked curiously, "What did you say?" Who lied to you? ”

Tai Hao's expression was a little gloomy, and he replied, "A friend of mine told me that my senior sister has come to see Master. It seems that he miscommunicated the news. ”

Feng Shi pondered for a moment and recalled: "Not to mention last year, no apprentice of the Origin Hero has been here in the past nine years. I've always lived on the island and know everything about it. I remember that there is only one apprentice of the original hero. It was the first year we had come to live in Niangniangtan, and his apprentice Voy had come once, but he had only stayed for two days before leaving. ”

A hint of surprise flashed in Taihao's eyes: "Fu Yi is my senior brother, it turns out that he has also been here." ”

Feng nodded and said, "That's right." I remember when Voye left, the Primeur secretly shed tears. I didn't understand what was going on between them, so I asked Yuan Shixia, but he wouldn't tell me. ”

Tai Hao couldn't help but start to guess in his heart, what is the secret between the master and the senior brother? Why did Master shed tears? Now that the master is gone, where is the senior brother?

That night, Feng carefully tidied up the room of Master Yuan Shi for Tai Hao, as if he wanted to let Tai Hao feel the warmth and presence of Master in this way. The room was filled with a faint aroma of herbs, which was a common smell used by the master during his lifetime, which made Taihao fall into deep longing.

The next morning, Taihao woke up from his deep sleep, and there was a burst of "bang bang" in his ears. He followed the sound and found that Feng was seriously pounding the medicine.

"Are you awake?" Feng Shi raised his head and asked with concern, "Did the sound of me pounding medicine disturb you?" ”

"No, no." Tai Hao hurriedly shook his head, he looked at Feng Shi appreciatively, "You are so diligent, it is really admirable. ”

Feng Shi smiled: "It has become my habit to pound medicine every morning.

Taihao was indeed a little hungry, so he walked to the table and enjoyed a delicious breakfast. In this strange place, Fung's hospitality made him feel a touch of home.

It didn't take long for Tian Shan to return home with a bamboo basket on his back. Feng stepped forward and introduced Taihao to him.

Tian Shan looked at Taihao carefully, with admiration in his eyes: "It turned out to be Taihao Shaoxia, I heard my father mention your name before." I didn't expect us to meet here. ”

Tai Hao sighed with emotion: "Yes, Tian Maung's divine doctor is famous all over the world, but I didn't expect his son to be such an excellent divine doctor." ”

Tian Shan smiled modestly: "Where, where can I be called a miracle doctor." I'm just doing my best to provide some medical care to the people in the neighborhood. ”

Tai Hao praised from the bottom of his heart: "Brother Tian Shan, your medical skills must have been inherited from your father. It's really a family history. ”

Tian Shan nodded: "That's right, my father has always taught me to inherit his mantle and benefit the people." ”

Tai Hao mentioned the passing of his master with a heavy heart: "Brother Tian Shan, I heard that my master has passed away, can you tell me where his grave is?" I want to go to worship. ”

Tian Shan comforted: "The grave of the first hero is not on Niangniang Beach, but it is not far from here. We were able to take a ferry boat to shore and it was a short walk away. I'll take you there later. ”

Taihao said gratefully: "Thank you Brother Tianshan." ”

Tian Shan gently put down the bamboo basket on his back, tidied it up a little, and began to enjoy lunch. After the meal, he stood up and patted Taihao lightly on the shoulder: "Let's go, I'll take you to see Master." ”

Together, they walked out of the house and onto the ferryboat docked on the shore. The boat swayed slightly, carrying them across the wide Yellow River. After reaching the other side, they followed the path in the direction of Master Yuanshi's grave.

As Tian Shan walked, he recalled the bits and pieces of Master Yuanshi's life: "Before the Yuanshi hero died, he was still thinking about several of his apprentices. He said that although the understanding of the big apprentice Voy is not very high, he is diligent and hardworking, and he will not be bullied when he walks the rivers and lakes. Although the second apprentice is dumb and dumb, he is kind-hearted and has a high level of martial arts cultivation. The third apprentice, Nian Yu, as a woman, is a little more weak, but her heart is simple. And the youngest apprentice, Tai Hao, showed a very high martial arts understanding at a young age, and he will definitely have a place in the rivers and lakes in the future. ”

Taihao listened silently, and a warm current surged in his heart. Master's concern and expectations made him more determined in his beliefs and pursuits. They continued on their way, through fields and woods, and finally came to the grave of Master Yuanshi.

In front of the tomb of Yuan Shi, Taihao knelt down violently and kowtowed three times to the master's grave.

With tears in his eyes, his voice choked: "Master, the apprentice is too hao to come to see you." It's too late to see you for the last time. ”

Taihao turned to Tian Shan with a hint of eagerness in his eyes: "Brother Tian Shan, I heard that my senior brother Fu Yi came here ten years ago, do you know what he and my master talked about at that time?" ”

Tian Shan recalled for a moment and said, "I vaguely remember that Voy seemed to be looking for a secret book called "Snow Cat Fluttering". They also had a small argument over this. Later, as if he didn't get what he wanted, Voy left. After he left, the first hero still cried silently. ”

Tai Hao sighed after hearing this, it turned out that Senior Brother Fu Yi came to the master to ask for the cheats of "Snow Cat Fluttering", but the master did not give it to him. He decided to let Tian Shan leave first, he wanted to be alone with his master for a while.

After Tayama left, Taihao wandered around the neighborhood and bought a delicate brocade box. He put the two cheats books "Drunken Cat Catching Mouse" and "Tanuki Worshipping God" into the brocade box and returned to the master's tombstone again. He dug a hole under the tombstone and buried the brocade box deep in the earth.

Tai Hao said softly: "Master, I have put the two cheats of "Drunken Cat Catching Mouse" and "Tanuki Worshipping God" here for the time being. There are many knights on the rivers and lakes who are looking for the cheats of "Cat Ancestor Divine Skill", and these two volumes are the safest for you. I'll get the scroll of "Snow Cat Fluttering" you gave me before. ”

He silently looked at Master's tombstone, his heart full of thoughts and gratitude for Master. He knew that although Master had passed away, his teachings and inheritance would always accompany Tai Hao and guide him on his journey through the rivers and lakes.
