Chapter 129: Shrinking the Land into Inches (I)
"Big brother, the owner doesn't pay attention to morality, and he has made the first year of junior high school, so it's no wonder that our brother is fifteen!"
"The third is right!" said the old man, "The second one, what do you say?"
The ancient two snorted weakly, expressing their approval.
Shen Yun laughed in his heart: it was as if they hadn't betrayed the "owner" just now.
The three brothers of the Gu family agreed in a few words, and suddenly became confident. The old big newspaper showed the time and place of delivery from both sides - on the afternoon of Chinese New Year's Eve, at three o'clock in the woods outside the south city gate.
Gu San stretched his neck with all his strength: "Master, it's time to solve the acupoints for us, right?"
Shen Yun glanced at him, didn't squeak, and couldn't help but scold in his heart: The three brothers of the Gu family, the "owner" who suffered from the plague, didn't know the identity of that guy at all. Therefore, if he wanted to find people out, he could only go to the woods in advance to ambush. In this way, he will definitely not be able to return to Zhengjiazhuang for the New Year.
"Master, you don't know how to be moral, right?" Gu San moved again. With just two simple movements, he was already flushed and panting like a cow. On the side, the ancient big and the ancient three saw it clearly, and they were even more jealous in their hearts. Especially Gu Da, his face showed a bitter color, and he secretly said "unlucky" again and again.
Gu Er blinked his eyes and asked tentatively, "This master, what else do you have to advise?"
His gaze swept over the three of them, and Shen Yun's attention was quickly attracted by the soles of the three brothers' shoes - it was said that they had followed them all the way, but the soles of the ancient big and ancient three were clean and clean, and there was no mud. Only the soles of the old two are the same as his......
Strange, the ancient three and the ancient three walked without touching the ground? Could it be that there is another mystery here?
After a turn of thought, he scolded coldly: "Until now, you still want to deceive the master!"
Gu Da had an angry face again: "You!"
"How can we have!" the ancient three were extremely aggrieved.
"Master, why are you asking so much?" asked Gu Er.
Shen Yun sneered: "You ask knowingly!" After that, he raised his leg and lightly kicked one of Gu Er's feet, "The soles of your two brothers are not even muddy and watery. Did they fly over?"
Without waiting for Gu Er to speak, Gu San replied first: "It's the second brother who is following you, not me and the eldest brother, why can't the soles of our shoes be clean?"
When Shen Yun heard this, he was taken aback in his heart, and said secretly: How is it possible?
In the past two days, sleet has fallen intermittently, and the official road is full of mud. Even in the post station, only the corridors, corridors and rooms are dry.
Thinking that the immortal officials could fly with a sword, he couldn't help but have an alarm bell in his heart, and looked at the three brothers carefully: Could it be that the masters do not show their faces, and these three brothers will also fail to do immortal arts?
Seeing that his face was full of suspicion, Gu San hurriedly defended: "Our brother has no other ability, but he has the ability to take care of the house, which is called shrinking the ground into ......inches."
"Ahem!ahem!" Next to him, the old man coughed in a hurry, "Third brother, don't talk nonsense! How can such a little trick of shrinking the ground into inches be our housekeeping ability?"
"Oh...... I tricked him into playing it. When Gu San heard this, he flatly denied it, "What kind of shrinkage is the ground? I don't know." Right, second brother?"
Gu Er was stupidly cried by the two of them, pursed his lips, and pretended to be dead.
Shen Yun listened to it in his heart. He had never heard of it, but it seemed to be very powerful. My mind turned, and an idea suddenly came to mind.
Obviously, among the three brothers, the one who really took the idea was Gu Er. Yes, Shen Yun looked at him and relieved: "It's not impossible for me to solve the acupoints for you." He looked at the ancient two, and he was relieved.
Gu Er was very embarrassed, called "Master", and said weakly: "In the future, our brothers will have to mix ...... on the road" They really can't catch the "owner" against the water.
"I know that the three seniors are all moral and trustworthy people, how can it be difficult for strong people?" Shen Yun said with a smile, "I just want to make an order with the three seniors." β
The ancient great and the ancient three were stunned.
"Our brothers are only looking for people and things. "How can there be such a cheap thing in the world?" Gu Er snorted reluctantly.
"It's about finding someone. Shen Yun answered seriously.
"Who are you looking for?" Gu San didn't hold back again, and asked first.
"A big fat man. Before, the big fat man who lived with you. Shen Yun replied.
Is this okay? The three Gu brothers were all stunned.
"What he offered to me, I asked him for double the price. Shen Yun took out a handful of silver tickets from his arms and raised them at Gu Er.
The latter hesitated slightly, and then gritted his teeth and responded: "We took this job!"
Shen Yun said again: "However, there is still a difficulty in the next place, and I want to ask the three seniors for a favor......
Early the next morning, Shen Yun retreated from the room and went straight to a small remote dirt slope behind the post house. At the top of the slope, the three Gu brothers were waiting there as promised. Surprisingly, they also brought four horses. I don't know where they got four good horses overnight.
"Go back to the South Gate first. After the convergence, Gu II said.
Shen Yun nodded.
Last night, after some bargaining, the two sides finally reached an agreement: Shen Yun paid three times the price; the three Gu brothers led the way for Shen Yun, but did not participate in the ambush of the big fat man; in addition, they used the technique of shrinking the land to transport him back and forth between the provincial capital and Yong'an County; both sides should keep this transaction secret and not disclose it to anyone.
Why didn't you just ask them to send him back to Zhengjiazhuang? This was a careful eye that Shen Yun deliberately left behind. Master warned him more than once before his death that the rivers and lakes are sinister, and the heart of guarding against others is indispensable. The lives of the Humb family are not child's play.
The four of them galloped and arrived outside the southern gate in the afternoon.
Without entering the city, Shen Yun was taken into the nearby City God Temple.
The temple was empty. The three brothers of the Gu family first gave incense to the city god, and then the ancient master went to check whether there was any new business under the incense burner. And the ancient three shouted "cold to death", rubbed their hands and went straight to the back of the temple, saying that they wanted to boil hot water and warm up their bodies first. When the old man heard this, he said, "I'll go with you," and followed.
Gu Er seemed to be tired, walked to a leeward corner, and beckoned to Shen Yun: "Brother Shen, it's still early, come over and rest first." β
Shen Yun nodded in response, walked over, and like him, he also sat down cross-legged, silently memorized the mantra of the Dharma, and recovered his strength.
If it weren't for the help of the heart and magic formula today, he would definitely be left behind on the road by the three Gu brothers.
He learned horseback riding at the Hongyun Martial Arts Pavilion. Riding skills can only be said to be improvised, and cannot be compared with veterans like the three Gu brothers. Yes, it was not yet an hour, and he had already reached his limit.
However, before leaving, Gu II made it clear that they had to rush to the south gate before sunset. Otherwise, you'll have to push back another day. And in order to arrive on time, they can only rest a little at noon on this way.
Shen Yun could only grit his teeth and hold on.
After carrying it for more than an hour, his physical strength was almost exhausted, and even if he gritted a mouthful of steel teeth and "creaked", he could not sit firmly on the horse's back.
At this time, the four horses were also sweating profusely and breathing heavily.
Shen Yun thought that the three brothers of the Gu clan would stop and rest for a while. No, Gu Er took the lead and whipped the horse's buttocks, but ran faster.
In the blink of an eye, Shen Yun was left behind by several horses.
"Brother Shen, what are you talking about!Hurry up and keep up!" Wu Laosan turned around and grimaced at him, "If you can't keep up and you make a mistake, it's not that our three brothers are not trustworthy." β
They clearly have their intentions!
Shen Yun was distracted, his body shook, and he almost fell off his horse. Fortunately, he reacted quickly, bent down, clamped the horse's belly with his legs, broke out in a cold sweat, and finally sat firmly.
However, after this experience, he was left behind by the three Gu brothers several times.
Shen Yun lay on the back of the horse, and his mind turned quickly. Suddenly, it occurred to him that after every practice, the Mo Vest Method mantra could quickly recover his strength. Maybe it works at this point, so why don't I give it a try?
So, he gathered his mind and began to memorize the Dharma mantra silently.
It really worked! After going through the mental mantra, my legs, which had lost consciousness, finally seemed to be recovered, numb and painful. At the same time, there is some strength in the lower back.
Shen Yun was overjoyed and made persistent efforts. After reciting the mantra three times like this, his physical strength recovered by more than half. However, it seems that the limit has been reached. If you memorize the mantra, it won't work. Even so, he was very satisfied, cheered up, and gradually caught up with the three Gu brothers.
After that, whenever he was physically exhausted, he would memorize the mantra of the Dharma. And it's the same every time, three times to recover most of your physical strength.
In this way, although it is still very hard, at least they can keep up with the three Gu brothers, no matter how they accelerate abruptly on the way, don't want to get rid of him.
By noon, the old man who had been running at the front finally stoppedβhe had to. Because the good horse he rode was so tired that he couldn't run anymore.
"I'm dying of old man. He threw his horse and swooped like a monkey into the woods by the roadside.
Gu Er also dismounted: "Rest for a quarter of an hour." β
"Brother Shen's stamina is good. The ancient three-chong Shen Yun gave a thumbs up.
"The seniors have won the prize. Shen Yun led the horse over, and like their brothers, they also chose a flat stone and sat down to rest.
"I'm an ancient second, and I'm a capable person. Gu San enthusiastically tore off half of the white flour cake in his hand and gave it to him, "There are not many people who can ride a horse to keep up with our brother! β
After being in contact for so long, Shen Yun had already seen that this person was well protected by the two brothers and had developed a simple temperament. Yes, he generously took the white flour cake, thanked him, and ate it in the same gulp as the ancient three.
Next to him, the old two saw it, and also changed his name, said "Brother Shen", and asked: "I see that your riding skills are not exquisite, is it not long before you learn it?"
Shen Yun was slightly stunned. He didn't expect that Gu Er would also accept him.
"Oh, I just learned it last month. β
"You are very hard-working. Gu Er nodded approvingly, "People who can endure hardships are often right-hearted. After a pause, he added, "Our three brothers have also suffered a lot. β
I see. Shen Yun suddenly realized.
Very interesting. A quarter of an hour later, the old man emerged from the woods again. He also led a tall horse with a red color.
In the wilderness, where did he find a good horse? Shen Yun's mind turned, and he immediately understood: It seems that the so-called need to go back to the south city gate in order to use the technique of shrinking the land into inches is a lie told by the three Gu brothers. They can definitely do it anytime, anywhere.
However, he said that he could fully understand. is still the same sentence, the heart of defense is indispensable. It's the same with him.
After the rest, the four of them continued on their way.
The three Gu brothers were still galloping in front, but their attitudes had changed radically, not only did they no longer make things difficult for him, but they also called him brothers, and laughed at them from time to time. Especially the ancient three, he also enthusiastically instructed him in riding.
