Chapter 11: The Wind Blows North
Shen Pingchuan was slightly stunned when he heard this, he really didn't expect the request made by the master to be so simple, and asked with a face full of disbelief: "That's all that Mr. asks for?" ”
"In addition, Poor Dao is cheeky to ask for two horses."
Zhang Xiuyuan explained: "Poor Dao and his junior sister are wandering outside, and the distance is too far to be strong, so I want to ask two inferior horses for walking. ”
"It's just a trifle!"
Shen Pingchuan agreed, and said with a smile: "Sir, don't worry, the student will go and ask someone to lead two good horses, and Mr. will be satisfied!" ”
"Dissatisfaction is second..."
Zhang Xiuyuan said meaningfully: "This letter in the hands of Shen Jushi may be related to the life and death of the poor Dao, and I hope that Shen Jushi will send someone to deliver it to the master of Baiyun Guan as soon as possible." ”
"This ......"
Shen Pingchuan's face changed when he heard this, and he hurriedly said, "Sir, what's the trouble?" Why don't you go to my Shen house to rest first? ”
"Shen Jushi is kind, I understand it..."
Zhang Xiuyuan naturally heard the kindness in his words, but after thinking about it, he still shook his head and declined.
What the little turtle saw and heard in the observation all showed that there was something wrong with the master's mind, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that he was controlled by demonic thoughts!
What's even more terrifying is that the master has already left the mountain, and it is obvious that he is looking for himself and his sister!
He clearly knows that Master Zhang Yangming is a great master who has been famous in the rivers and lakes for many years, although he has never been able to get into the immortal path and has hysteria, but his cultivation has not fallen, and his skills are far beyond the reach of others!
Under such circumstances, hiding in the Shen family can indeed avoid some trouble, but if the master finds the door, wouldn't it be fair for the Shen family to suffer unjustified disasters?
He can't do this kind of thing that implicates others...
Shen Pingchuan also seemed to realize something, and he didn't persuade much at the moment, and Zhengse assured: "Please rest assured, sir, the student will send someone to deliver the letter to the master of Baiyun Guanguan quickly." ”
"I'm tired..."
Zhang Xiuyuan bowed his head slightly, and said: "Poor Dao and senior sister still have important things to do, if there are horses, they will say goodbye to the layman." ”
"Sir, wait a moment..."
Shen Pingchuan went out to explain a few words to the steward of Feng Yage, and then led the two of them out.
After a while...
The steward of the Feng Accord brought two good horses with broad hooves and strong bodies, and pure and shiny fur.
"These two are good horses carefully selected by the Shen family, with docile personalities and strong physiques, and they can travel five hundred miles a day, are you still satisfied?"
"Good horse!"
Zhang Xiuyuan stepped forward and touched the mane on the horse's back, Rao was a person like him who was not familiar with horses, and he could also see that the two horses in front of him were rare horses.
He stepped on the stirrup and got on the horse, and when he saw that the horse was really docile, he also secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Although he had been to the horse farm a few times in his previous life, he was only 'able to ride', and if he met a fierce horse with a violent personality, he really couldn't ride it.
Zhang Miaoshan saw that his senior brother was riding a horse, so he went to the stirrup, wanting to follow his example.
But she was already petite, and she couldn't ride a horse, looking at the horse that was taller than herself, she didn't know what to do for a while, so she could only turn her eyes to her senior brother for help.
"Senior brother, what about me?"
“……”
When Zhang Xiuyuan heard this, he also thought that his junior sister didn't seem to know how to ride a horse, so he waved his hand to signal her to come over, and then clamped the horse's belly and hunched her waist and dragged her onto the horse's back and sat in his arms.
"It seems that one horse is enough."
He arched his hand at Shen Pingchuan and said goodbye: "Thank you Shen Jushi for your hospitality, Poor Dao and Senior Sister still have important things to do, so don't leave it at that." ”
"Sir, cherish."
Shen Pingchuan also knew that he seemed to have something urgent, so he didn't stay long, and arched his hand: "Mr. Zhi has something important to do, and the student will stay soon." If I have time in the future, I hope that Mr. can come to the Shen family as a guest, so that the students can enjoy the friendship of the landlord. ”
"I'll definitely go and ask for a cup of tea when I have time, and say goodbye!"
After that, Zhang Xiuyuan rode away, but the direction he went was not to the east where Xijing Mansion was located, but to the north.
Taixuguan was on the cold mountain in the south of Gusu City, and his original plan was to follow his master's instructions and go east to Baiyunguan to join his aunt.
But this time he hasn't left Gusu yet, he 'sees' that the master is controlled by demons, and he has already gone out of the mountain to find himself and his sister.
He doesn't care about himself, he has long seen the two lives, and now he has earned the extra eighteen years of life.
But the junior sister is different, firstly, she is still young, and secondly, she is a girl who grew up by herself, so she should be responsible for her safety.
And from the master's words to himself, it can be seen that the master aunt of Baiyun Temple is very likely to be a qi refiner who has achieved cultivation, and the significance to the master is extraordinary, and even the master's demonic thoughts may have been bred because of that aunt.
If she can come, she may be able to suppress Master's demonic thoughts!
This is also the reason why Zhang Xiuyuan wrote a letter, and even handed over the Baiyunguan token to Shen Pingchuan!
He had no choice now, so he could only take his junior sister and master in a roundabout way, pinning his hopes on Shen Pingchuan and the senior aunt he had never met......
Shen Pingchuan reluctantly watched the figure on horseback go away, and sighed in his heart that he would say goodbye this time, and he didn't know if there would be a reunion in the future.
The steward of Feng Yage couldn't help but smile when he saw that the young owner was distracted: "This little Taoist is a strange person, he doesn't want a thousand taels of silver, but a horse." ”
"Sir is an outsider, with an elegant and transcendent character, how can he care about those gold and silver things?"
Shen Pingchuan glanced at him, and then thought of the letter in his hand that might be related to the survival of Mr., and suddenly felt pressure in his heart, and Zhengse explained: "You go to find a trustworthy confidant, just say that I have something important to explain!" ”
"Yes."
……………………
Zhang Xiuyuan didn't dare to delay for a moment, and after leaving Gusu City, he spurred his horse and galloped all the way north.
And Zhang Miaoshan shrank in his arms and wrapped around his waist, as if he had thought of something, there was a faint sadness on his little face, and he called softly: "Senior brother." ”
"Huh?"
Zhang Xiuyuan glanced at her and asked, "Is it cold by the wind?" If it's cold, take a piece of clothing and wrap it around you. ”
"I'm not cold..."
Zhang Miaoshan shook his head and asked, "Senior brother, didn't you say that we were going to Xijing Mansion, I remember that Xijing Mansion is in the east, how did we go north?" ”
Zhang Xiuyuan didn't know how to explain the master's affairs to his junior sister, so he had to say casually perfunctorily: "It's hard to come out and take you for a ride~"
"I'm not a kid anymore..."
Zhang Miaoshan pursed her small mouth, shrunk into his arms and whispered: "Senior brother, you just said that the letter is about life and death, it doesn't seem to be a fake, is it that Master's hysteria has worsened and has reached the point of no return?" ”
“……”
Zhang Xiuyuan was silent for a long time, and then said softly and comfortingly: "Don't think about it, you may have to eat and sleep in the open these days, you will be more tired, if you have nothing to do, close your eyes and recuperate." ”
“……”
Zhang Miaoshan already knew the answer when he heard this, his heart was sour, and two lines of tears slipped down his cheeks.
Her eyes were red, and a pair of small hands tightly wrapped around her senior brother's waist, as if she wanted to firmly grasp the only remaining relative.
Zhang Xiuyuan looked down and saw his senior sister leaning over his arms and gently wiping the corners of his eyes, and a yearning for cultivation inexplicably grew in his heart......
