After the mourning hall was set up, Taihao dressed in plain clothes and stepped on the road to the top of the mountain with a solemn expression. The moonlight was like water, sprinkled on his lonely back, reflecting a faint sorrow. He silently read the life deeds of the head of Duoyu in his heart, as well as the long-dusty past between her and Orange, and his steps became heavier and heavier. Finally, the outline of the mourning hall appeared in the night, and the temporary hall made of bamboo and wood, with white flags fluttering, looked solemn and desolate.

As soon as he walked outside the door of the mourning hall, Taihao heard a suppressed and sad cry coming from the crack in the door, it was the voice of the orange tree, with endless remorse and longing: "Duoyu, for many years, the old man can't stand you, and you left me like this." Our son Long'er, the old man will definitely find it, you can rest assured, no matter where he is at the end of the world, I will definitely find his traces, let him know your sacrifice, and inherit your legacy. You are in the Spirit of heaven, rest in peace. ”

Taihao stopped and listened to this heart-wrenching outpouring, with mixed feelings in his heart. After a moment, he took a deep breath and walked slowly into the mourning hall. I saw Orange Blossom kneeling in front of the spiritual seat of the head of Duoyu, tears sliding down her wrinkled cheeks and dripping onto the green bricks on the ground, silently blending into the cold night.

Taihao kowtowed deeply three times to the coffin of Duoyu's master, and each blow was accompanied by a low sigh. After the ceremony, he turned to look at Orange, his eyes were full of sympathy and understanding, and said softly: "Seniors of Orange, mourning changes." Although the head of Duoyu has passed away, the chivalrous spirit of her life will live forever in the world, and her name will be remembered forever by Meng Yingshan's disciples and even colleagues in the rivers and lakes. ”

Orange Tu raised her eyes to look at Taihao, and a trace of gratitude flashed in her weather-beaten eyes. He slowly wiped the tears from his face and nodded slightly in response. Although his heart was still full of bitterness, Taihao's comfort was like a warm light in the dark night, which somewhat relieved his endless sorrow.

Tai Hao continued: "Senior Orange, I already know what happened when you and the head of Duoyu were young. Although I did not see your conversation in the Black and White Mountains that day, I had the privilege of hearing it in the cave. Your love story, twists and turns, touching, I deeply admire. ”

Orange looked surprised at first, obviously not expecting their intimate conversation to be overheard. But in an instant, he regained his composure, smiled at Tai Hao, and nodded: "I see, Brother Tai Hao, you heard our old things, please don't laugh." In life, there are always a lot of helplessness, you and I are both people in the rivers and lakes, and we should be able to understand the taste. ”

Tai Hao looked at Orange Di's haggard and sad face, and couldn't help but feel a sour feeling in his heart. He sighed softly and said earnestly: "The head of Duoyu left too suddenly, which caught people off guard. But Orange Senior, you also have to take care of your health. ”

After hearing this, there was a complicated light in those deep-set eye sockets, he nodded slightly, and said in a low voice: "What Brother Taihao said is very true, and the old man understands. Just ......" he paused, as if hesitating to say what to say next. In the end, he still made up his mind and looked up at Taihao, his eyes were full of pleading, "When the old man was young, he had a son with Duoyu, named Orange Dragon, and now he is more than thirty years old. Brother Taihao has been walking the rivers and lakes for many years and has a wide range of contacts, can you help the old man find it? ”

When Tai Hao heard this, he understood in his heart how difficult this matter was. In the vast sea of people, looking for a child who was separated more than 30 years ago is tantamount to looking for a needle in a haystack. But when he saw the expectant look in Orange's eyes, the deep friendship between him and the head of Duoyu, and the orange dragon as their only bloodline, he couldn't help but feel a sense of responsibility in his heart. He nodded vigorously and arched his hand: "The junior has this matter in mind, and he will definitely do his best to help you find the orange dragon." ”

After hearing this, tears appeared in his eyes, he held Taihao's hand tightly, and said gratefully: "Then thank you Brother Taihao, you not only helped the old man, but also helped Meng Yingshan and our entire martial arts." If the orange dragon can come back, it will definitely bring new hope to Meng Yingshan. ”

Tai Hao smiled slightly, patted Orange Tea's shoulder, and comforted: "Seniors don't have to be polite, this is what I should do." You go and rest first, and leave the search for the orange dragon to me. ”

Orange thanked Tai Hao again, and then Tai Hao turned and left the mourning hall. Orange sat quietly beside Tama's coffin, staring at the familiar face, as if to engrave her appearance deeply in her heart. That night, he sat in the mourning hall all night, facing Tayu's coffin, telling the bits and pieces of their youth, telling about her thoughts and guilt, as if he wanted to finish the words of this life tonight.

However, perhaps it was too much longing, or maybe it was too much sadness, after that night, the orange hero never came out of the mourning hall again. He seems to have followed Tayu's soul and returned to the western sky, leaving behind an unfinished legend and a broken heart. Meng Yingshan was saddened by this incident, and they set up a spiritual position for Orange Tu outside the mourning hall, standing side by side with Duoyu, in order to commemorate this chivalrous couple who lived and died, and their love story will be passed down forever in the long history of Meng Yingshan.

Seven days later, Meng Yingshan's disciples followed the funeral customs of the Eastern Empire and held a solemn and sad joint burial ceremony for the head of Duoyu and the hero of Orange. On that day, Meng Yingshan was dressed in linen and filial piety, plain white, and the mountain wind was whistling, as if he was whispering a lamentation. In the south of the mountain, a piece of pine and cypress is verdant, and the tomb has already been dug, quietly waiting for the arrival of the two deceased.

In the early morning, the sky was slightly bright, and the disciples of Meng Yingshan were dressed in white mourning clothes and holding white candles, and set off from the main peak of Mengying Mountain, along the winding mountain road, and slowly walked to the south of the mountain. In front of the procession, there are two delicate coffins, one black and one white, carrying the remains of the head of Duoyu and the hero of Orange Tu respectively. The coffin is covered with a thick white cloth, and there are hanging couplets on both sides, and the book "The heroic soul will always stay in Meng Ying Mountain, and the chivalrous bones will stay between heaven and earth for a long time".

After arriving at the Qidi, Meng Yingshan's disciples stood in a pre-arranged position, forming a huge semicircle, surrounding the coffin in the center. A middle-aged female disciple, as the chief priest, dressed in black mourning clothes and holding a long sword, stood in front of the coffin with a solemn face. She first bowed to the coffin, and then recited the memorial aloud, recalling the life deeds of the two deceased, praising their chivalrous spirit, and expressing the endless sorrow and admiration of Meng Yingshan's disciples.

After the recitation of the sacrificial text, the disciples of Meng Yingshan stepped forward in turn, offered flowers, wine, food, paper money and other offerings to the coffin, and then knelt on the ground and kowtowed three times for a moment of silence. During the period, the mountain breeze blew, and the pines and cypresses swayed, as if they were seeing off the two deceased, and the scene was solemn and sad.

Subsequently, Meng Yingshan's disciples began the burial ceremony. They carefully placed the coffin into the tomb, and then, according to the custom of the Tang Dynasty, filled the tomb and piled it up into a small hill. The tombstone is engraved with "The Tomb of Duoyu and Langjun Orange, the 17th Head of Meng Yingshan", and their birth and death dates are engraved below, as well as the sentence "Chivalrous Bone Dan Heart, Immortal".

Finally, the middle-aged female disciple held a long sword in her hand and gently slashed the tip of the sword on the tombstone, leaving a deep trace, symbolizing the endless nostalgia and admiration of Meng Yingshan's disciples for the two deceased.

Taihao stood in front of the tombstone of the head of Duoyu and the hero of Orange, his eyes were solemn, and his heart was full of emotion. He looked at the tombstone and couldn't help but sigh softly: "Now, the 'Seven Heroes of Black and White Mountain' has become the 'Six Heroes', and the 'Three Sisters of Meng Yingshan' only have 'two sisters' left. His voice was full of nostalgia for the deceased and helplessness about the impermanence of the world.

Another three months passed quietly, and Meng Yingshan, with the joint efforts of Taihao and Meng Yingshan's disciples, had gradually restored the tranquility and peace of the past. The party army has not appeared again, and the crisis of Meng Yingshan seems to have been temporarily lifted. Taihao saw that everything in Meng Yingshan was on the right track, and he was quite relieved, and he knew that he should leave. He decided to return to Wurong City and reunite with Xu Yuan, who had been separated for a long time.

Knowing that Taihao was about to leave, the two heads of Duogui and Duojin decided to set up a banquet for him. At the banquet, Tai Hao picked up his wine glass, toasted to the two heads, and said with emotion: "I have spent nearly two years in Mengying Mountain, and every grass, tree, mountain and water here has been deeply imprinted in my heart. Now, it's time for me to go back to Wurong City to see my wife. ”

When the head of Duogui heard that Taihao was about to leave, a trace of reluctance flashed in her eyes, and she sighed softly: "Since Taihao has made up his mind, the old body can't be forced to stay." It's just that the old body is old, and this farewell may be goodbye. ”

After hearing this, Tai Hao hurriedly comforted: "Master Duogui must not say this, you are physically strong, and you will be able to live a long life." As long as Meng Yingshan is in need, I will definitely come to help again. ”

The head of Duojin took over the conversation, and she smiled and said to Taihao: "Don't talk about this, Taihao Hero, don't say goodbye." Wishing you a smooth journey and a speedy reunion with your family. ”

Tai Hao nodded, he looked at Koji Yi, who was listening silently on the side, and said earnestly: "Koji Yi, your master is leaving, and Meng Yingshan will be handed over to you." If Meng Yingshan is in trouble again, you can come to me, and I will come to help as soon as possible. His eyes were full of trust and expectation for Koji.

After hearing this, Koji nodded firmly, and he said respectfully to Tai Hao: "Remember Master's words, I will definitely protect Meng Yingshan." ”

After hearing this, Tai Hao nodded with satisfaction, and he smiled and said to Lu Yi: "Lu Yi, you must be good here, and you must not violate Meng Yingshan's rules." ”

At that moment, Taihao rode a fast horse and left Meng Yingshan. The sound of horses' hooves echoed on the mountain road, and Meng Yingshan, who was gradually moving away behind him, looked particularly lonely in the afterglow of the setting sun. Although he was reluctant in his heart, he was more worried about Xu Yuan's thoughts and expectations for his return.

After a long day of driving on the rugged mountain road, Taihao felt hungry and the horses were exhausted from the long journey. At this time, the outline of Yuchuan City appeared in front, which was an ancient city surrounded by mountains and rivers, with smoke curling and people boiling, revealing a strong atmosphere of life. Taihao's heart moved, and he decided to rest in this city for one night, eat a good meal, and recharge for the next trip.

However, just as Taihao led his horse into Yuchuan City to look for the inn, suddenly there was chaos on the street, and pedestrians avoided one after another, only to see a group of masked bandits holding sharp knives, rushing into a restaurant, smashing and looting, scaring the customers in the store to flee in all directions. Seeing this, Tai Hao frowned, he knew that the people in the rivers and lakes were sinister, and such evil deeds could not be tolerated. He resolutely tied his horse to the side of the road and headed straight for the restaurant, ready to stop the atrocity.

At this time, the restaurant was in shambles, tables and chairs were overturned, cups and plates were shattered, and diners were huddled in the corners in horror, shivering. The group of masked bandits was recklessly looting property, and when they saw Tai Hao suddenly break in, one of the leaders snorted coldly, brandished a steel knife, and rushed towards Tai Hao, and the rest of the masked bandits also besieged him. Tai Hao's face was calm, and in the face of this sudden attack, he was calm, his body was like the wind, and he launched several moves in a row, forcing those masked bandits back one by one.

However, the leader was ruthless, and seeing that he could not defeat Tai Hao in a short time, he disregarded the life and death of his companion and took an innocent diner as a hostage, threatening Tai Hao to retreat immediately. Tai Hao's heart sank, he knew that if he was not careful at this moment, the innocent person would die. He was calm, his eyes were like torches, looking for a way to break the situation.

At this moment, a figure jumped down from the second floor of the restaurant like a gale, holding a pair of cold and shining double hooks, and the fierce attack poured down like a storm, instantly forcing the masked bandit led by him to retreat a few steps. I saw that he was vigorous, his movements were swift, and the double hook dance brought gusts of wind, which made people feel awe-inspiring. Seeing this, Tai Hao was also in good spirits, and immediately joined the battle and fought side by side with the man holding the double hook to fight against the masked bandits.

Taihao performed the "Ranger Miracle Skill", the exercises were like flowing water, reaching the peak, and several bandits fell to the ground in response. And the man with the double hook is even more extraordinary, the double hook is like a dragon and snake tumbling, every attack is precise and ruthless, the bandits are as fragile as paper paste in front of him, and they are knocked to the ground one after another. With their tacit cooperation, the masked bandits retreated one after another, and in the end, only the villains led by him were still resisting.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the villain was furious, and frantically brandished his steel knife and pounced on Taihao and the man holding the double hook. Tai Hao's eyes were quick, and he punched the opponent's wrist, causing his steel knife to come out of his hand. Then, he stepped forward and struck the other man in the chest with another punch. Hearing a muffled "bang", the villain flew upside down like a broken kite, fell heavily to the ground, and did not move again.

The crisis was lifted, and the restaurant was in a mess, but the diners were all living after the catastrophe, and they expressed their heartfelt thanks to Tai Hao and the man holding the double hook. Tai Hao smiled faintly, and said to the man holding the double hook: "Thank you for your help, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable." ”

The man with the double hook smiled slightly, and said to Tai Hao: "Tai Hao hero, don't come unharmed." ”
