Chapter 317: Apprenticeship (I)

Monkey Paw Mountain is famous because it was once a forbidden place for the Iron Palm Gang. Xiao Yao still remembers that Guo Jing, Huang Rong and Qiu Qianqi were trapped here together, if it weren't for the timely arrival of the double eagle and the two of them flying in the sky on their backs, I am afraid there would not be so many stories behind. At this time, he and the green calyx passed through Changde, passed through Taoyuan, Xiayuanling, and finally came to Huxi, after some inquiry, after learning the specific location of the Iron Palm Peak, Xiao Yao followed the instructions and galloped to the southeast along the way. The mountain road is rugged, the grass is over the waist beside the road, it is extremely difficult to walk, but after traveling more than 40 miles, finally see the five peaks towering into the sky from afar, but see the five peaks are steep and angry, it is indeed like five fingers standing in the air, and the middle peak is especially upright. Xiao Yao saw that the legendary Iron Palm Peak was erected alive in front of him at this time, and his heart couldn't help but move, remembering that the forbidden place of the Iron Palm Gang was on this peak. However, he thought about it, the so-called forbidden land had been searched by Guo Jing and Huang Rong back then, and things like Wu Mu's suicide note were long gone, and as for the remaining treasures such as the Treasure Divine Soldier, when he crossed over, he was robbed by Li Mochou halfway, and the Tieshan Dart Game was defeated. At this time, this so-called forbidden land is actually just an empty cave. Thinking of this, Xiao Yao couldn't help but be excited, and carefully recalled the road to Yideng's hermitage.

He vaguely remembered that there seemed to be a huge waterfall in the mountains. According to this line of thought, Xiao Yao asked as he walked, and a few days later, he had already asked in Taoyuan County. The local people are simple, the people know everything, he didn't take much effort, according to the map like a road and ran out of seventy or eighty miles, the road is getting narrower and narrower, and then go ** mile, the mountain peaks on both sides of the road stand on the wall, and there is a sheep intestine trail in the middle, only allowing one person to barely pass. Xiao Yao pulled Gongsun Lucalyx, took a big stride into the mountain, followed the steep road to the top, walked for about an hour, the road was narrower, and some places had to be crossed by two people sideways. At this time, it was the height of summer in July, the red sun was scorching, and the fire was golden, but the mountain peaks on the side of the road were inserted into the sky, completely covering the scorching sun, and it was quite cool.

After walking for a while, Xiao Yao suddenly heard the faint sound of water in the distance, and immediately quickened his pace. The empty mountain is lonely, the sound of the water reverberates in the valley, booming, the more you go, the louder the sound of the water, you have to walk to the top of the ridge, only to see a white dragon-like waterfall rushing down from between the twin peaks on the opposite side, the momentum is very amazing. Looking down from the ridge, it was exactly the same as in my memory, and there was indeed a thatched hut next to the waterfall. Staring into the distance, I saw a person sitting under the willow tree next to the waterfall, wearing a hat, far away, what the person was doing but couldn't see clearly.

Seeing the appearance of that person, even though it was just the back, Xiao Yao was suddenly happy in his heart, knowing that his journey was not in vain after all, he hurriedly pulled Gongsun Lucalyx and walked quickly to the waterfall, only to see the person under the willow tree wearing a robe, sitting on a stone, and fishing. Looking at his face, I saw that he was about forty years old, with a black face at the bottom of a pot, full of beard, roots like iron, and his eyes stared motionless into the water. Xiao Yao just wanted to speak, but the green calyx suddenly stopped him, pointed to the stream next to him, and signaled not to make a noise at this time. Xiao Yao thought to himself, the water of this waterfall is turbulent and abnormal, and it is like a pour, where are the fish in the water? Even if there are fish, how can they have time to swallow bait? Sure enough, the two of them waited for a long time, but they never saw any fish take the bait. Xiao Yao didn't know anything about fishing, and he always felt that it was not interesting to sit on the hanging rod, and he had to wait patiently for a long time just now, so he couldn't hold it anymore, and just about to speak, the fisherman suddenly put away the fishing rod and said: "You two don't say a word, the time you have been standing here for a long time has not been short, there must be something important in you." But if you have something important to do, why waste your time here? With that, he turned around and wanted to leave.

Xiao Yao hurriedly said: "The junior has something important to do, and I want to ask to see Master Ci'en." ”

When the fisherman heard this, he suddenly looked Xiao Yao and Gongsun Lucao up and down, his eyes were full of suspicion, and he said, "There is no Master of Mercy here, you can go." ”

Xiao Yao nudged the green calyx, let her take two steps forward, and said: "She is the niece of Master Ci'en, and she has come all the way to see her uncle and hope that her predecessors will be perfected." ”

The fisherman suddenly stared at the green calyx, and a strange look flowed in his eyes. After a moment's wait, he said, "Then you wait a minute." After saying that, he found a bow and arrow, and I don't know what was written and tied it to it, and it was an arrow to the sky. The arrow departed from the string, loud and sharp, and in the blink of an eye it broke through the clouds and disappeared. After about half an hour, there was another sound of arrows, but no arrows fell. When the fisherman heard the arrows, he said, "All right, then you will come with me." As he spoke, he dragged an iron boat past and said, "You can only send one person at a time, which of you will go first?"

After Xiao Yao made eye contact with the green calyx, Xiao Yao said, "I'll go first." The fisherman said, "Follow me." So he lifted up the iron boat and walked toward the corner of the mountain. Xiao Yao followed, turned the corner of the mountain from the right, and saw that there was no waterfall in front of him. The fisherman suddenly shouted, "Get up!" and threw the iron boat into the upper reaches of the waterfall. Xiao Yao hurriedly jumped into it, and the fisherman also held the iron pulp, got on the boat, and pulled it hard, and the iron boat went backwards for a few feet, and then with a pull, the boat went up a few feet in retrograde. Xiao Yao was worried about the hidden danger here, so he got on the boat first, and when he saw the ship moving, he held the hilt of the Xuantie sword tightly, not daring to be careless. I saw the fisherman wielding his oars against the rapids, and the iron boat raised its head and drummed against the waves. Although the current here is not as sharp as the waterfall, it is also very rapid, and I saw that the fisherman looked calm, and pushed the iron boat as if it were going down the water. After walking like this for a while, paddling through two rapids, and turning a corner, the scenery in front of me was picturesque, the clear stream was murmuring, and the water flow was extremely steady, almost as if it was still in motion. This stream is about a zhang wide, the weeping willows on both sides are blowing the water, and there are countless peach trees planted between the green willows. At this time, although there are no peach blossoms, the waterside is full of clusters of small white flowers, which are fragrant and fragrant. Seeing this scene, Xiao Yao couldn't help but feel relaxed and happy, and he didn't expect that there was a different world on the top of this high mountain. Unconsciously, he was much less vigilant.

The iron boat slowly moved forward, and birds chirped from time to time among the green willows. Xiao Yao was staring at it, and suddenly it was dark in front of him, and the iron boat drilled into a cave. His heart tightened, and the Xuantie Sword immediately grasped it as he wished, but after waiting for a while, he only felt that the aroma in the cave was stronger, and the water flow was more turbulent, but he only heard a burst of sneering. Xiao Yao was secretly wondering in his heart, his eyes suddenly lit up, the iron boat had come out of the hole, but the scenery outside the cave was even more beautiful, there was a huge fountain, more than two zhang high, the snow splashed jade, a huge column of water sprayed up from the stone hole, flew into the air, the sneering sound was from the fountain. The stream stops here, and the fountain is apparently the source of the stream and waterfall below. The fisherman said: "Get off the boat." Xiao Yao jumped up when he heard this, and when he turned around, he saw a dazzling rainbow reflected in the sun.

The fisherman said, "Wait a moment, and I'll bring the girl." Then he went down the river and returned to the cave again, leaving Xiao Yao alone here. After a while, the green calyx also came. The fisherman led the two of them around the rainbow and said in a loud voice, "Senior brother, there is a guest here." Suddenly, there was a singing voice behind the rainbow: "The city is ruined, the heroes are here? How many times has the cloud dragon confessed? The Tang family was defeated by the Sui family, and the world changed like a cloud. Sickness, it's also the difference between heaven and earth! Late, it's also the difference between heaven and earth!"

As the song sounded, the singer turned out from behind the rainbow, carrying a bundle of pine wood in his left hand and an axe in his right hand, and turned out to be a woodcutter. The fisherman stepped forward and said, "Senior brother, this girl is Ci'en's niece, take them up." The woodcutter glanced at Xiao Yao and Lu Calyx, nodded, didn't ask much at the moment, pointed to the side of the mountain, and said, "Go up!"

I saw a long vine the thickness of an arm on the side of the mountain, going up the peak. The two looked up and saw that the upper half of the mountain peak was hidden in the clouds, and they didn't know how high the peak was, but the matter had come to this point, and they could only go down. Xiao Yao was worried about the safety of the green calyx, so he carried her on his back. He has Jiuyang True Qi as the foundation, even if he has the weight of one more person, he climbs very quickly, and in a moment, he is more than ten zhang above the ground. In this way, Xiao Yao, who cultivated and read later, also saw them one by one, just because every time he saw a person, he was led by the people who guarded the customs before, so he did not encounter any obstacles along the way. At the end of the stone beam at the top of the peak, there is a small temple.
