The master and apprentice walked and stopped, as usual.

It's just that during these days, Master has to spare an hour or two every day to meditate and practice. Shen Yuan didn't know why Gongye He was like this, and he felt in his heart that Master Gu Xi was still so motivated at his age, and he couldn't help but feel a little ashamed, so he secretly made up his mind to practice and study more diligently. But Shen Yuan didn't know that in fact, Gongye and his daily meditation exercises were actually regulating internal injuries and cultivating meridians.

At the same time, Gongye He watched Shen Yuan work harder and harder, seeing that the two sets of swordsmanship were becoming more and more familiar, and the internal strength and mental method of the first layer were also condensed a lot, and his heart was also happy.

I don't know how the news of the Nine Lions Gang in Nachao County was wiped out by Gongye He spread so quickly, those bandits and gangs in the green forest along the way, as long as they learned that Gongye He had entered the territory, they immediately asked someone to present the gold and silver wrapped in the plate, and then respectfully sent this killing god to cross.

If it weren't for Shen Yuan's reluctance to give this mule, Gongye He would have replaced the animal and wait to leave, and the leader of the Fenshui Gang would personally lead the brothers in the gang to escort them all the way to Huanghuaguan. Fortunately, this water distribution gang is engaged in the business of private salt and medicinal materials, and it is not in the township, otherwise Gongyehe will have to kill again.

Eat well, drink well, sleep well all the way, and have this gold and silver for nothing, in short, Gongye and here are those who come without refusing, and then look at Shen Yuan, the whole person is much stronger. It's just that Gongye and every time he works and does qi, he always feels that something is wrong. He made his true qi repeatedly walk along the twelve canons and the eight veins of the strange sutras, and he couldn't find the slightest abnormality.

Gongye and simply didn't think about it anymore, after walking for so long, they finally arrived in Hangzhou, and after Xiaoshan was the boundary of Shaoxing. But since he came to Hangzhou, how could he stay for a few more days like this greedy ghost Gongyehe!

Hangzhou is worthy of being the ancient capital of the former Song Dynasty, the city is a jewel, and it is really a place of great treasures. Gongye and Shen Yuan did not enter the city either, and went straight to the West Lake. This West Lake is the first-class scenery of the real mountains and real waters, only look at the sky and water, the clouds are fresh, the thunder peak stands, the spirit is hidden and deep, it is really a beautiful scenery infinitely.

Look at the lake again, there are uneven gold powder pavilions, bamboo fence huts, that place is full of red willows, this place is full of mulberry and hemp, those wine shops and teahouses, all are green curtains high, red charcoal full of furnaces. Tourists and women come and go endlessly; light boats and singing boats, music and dancing are endless! It can be described as a city of lights, and sheng songs are everywhere in the building, and it is a prosperous image.

Shen Yuan saw that there was a cake stall under the archway in front of him, so he jumped off the mule cart and came over. The old man who bought the cake saw Shen Yuan looking strange, so he asked, "Little brother, but it's from the north?"

"Old man, how did you know?" said Shen Yuanqi.

The old man smiled and said, "If it's from our area, how can we not know the 'Dingsheng Cake'?"

"It turns out that this cake is called 'Dingsheng Cake'," Shen Yuan said suddenly, pursing his lips, "Look at the yellow and red ones, they are beautiful, and there are also plum blossom-shaped and half-peach-shaped ones, but I don't know what it tastes like?"

"Seeing that you are a cute child, the old man will lose money to give you a taste!"

Shen Yuan took the cake, and when he bit into it, it was soft and sweet, fragrant and pleasant, and he nodded busily and said, "It's really delicious!" When he turned around and saw Gongye and leading the mule cart behind, he asked for money to buy four, and the master and apprentice ate them separately.

And before he had taken two steps, he heard someone behind him shouting: "Dao Chang slow down!"

When I looked back, I saw a Tsing Yi catcher who was patrolling the street. Shen Yuan asked quietly, "Master, aren't you here to arrest us?"

Gongyehe shook his head, also puzzled, and only said: "It's not like, let's see how he says it." ”

When the catcher approached, he shook his bow and asked in a low voice, "Dare to ask Dao Chang Gongye and his seniors?"

Gongyehe raised his eyebrows and said, "How do you know that Lao Tzu is Gongyehe?"

The catcher was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect Gongyehe to speak so rudely even though he was a member of the Daomen, but he knew that most of these masters were weird, and it didn't matter much. Then he bowed slightly with both hands, and said: "Don't hide it from the Taoist, I learned from the bounty portrait in the city yesterday, I just passed by, and I looked at the Taoist, so I gave it a try." ”

"Oh, yesterday?" Gong Yehe sneered and said, "Is there no portrait today?"

"It was withdrawn yesterday before the curfew. ”

"Then why don't you take me?"

The head catcher said: "Don't make fun of the Taoist chief, although the people in the official mansion are in the lower ranks, they also know about Entubao." ”

Gong Yehe was puzzled and asked, "When will I be kind to you?" Oh, you are really not happy to talk to this guy, and it is really uncomfortable to hang people's appetites!"

The catcher said: "My surname is Sun, I am from Chao County, and my family lives at the foot of the Woniu Mountain, and my parents are still there." In the past few days, I heard that the Taoist chief destroyed the Nine Lions Gang that harmed one person with one sword, and in addition to the scourge for the people, it also saved the people of Woniu Village from fire and water, thanked the people for their kindness, and also worshiped the grace of thanking their parents for saving their lives! If it weren't for the kindness of the father, there would be no filial piety under the knees of the parents!"

After that, he knelt down in the street and bowed three times. attracted the attention of passers-by. Gongyehe hurriedly dodged, and two blush flew on the wrinkled dough, and scolded: "You rammer, Lao Tzu is not dead, what do you do with me!"

Shen Yuan snickered, hurriedly picked up Sun Zhu's head, and whispered: "My master is thin-skinned, but he can't make this big gift." ”

Sun Zhutou is a down-to-earth person, and now that he thinks about it, it is really inappropriate to act just now. I only listened to Gongye and said, "What are you calling me?"

Sun Zhutou slapped his head and said busily: "I want to tell the two of you not to go to Shaoxing!"

Gongyehe's eyes narrowed and asked, "What do you mean by this?"

"This is really not the place to speak. With that, he led the mule cart and led the master and apprentice into a remote alley. At this time, I heard Sun Zhutou pointing to the small courtyard in front of him and said: "There is a cold house in front, please settle down with the Taoist chief and this little brother for the time being." ”

After inviting the two into the house and sitting down, Sun Zhutou said: "Yesterday, I saw a man named He Youdao in the yamen who was talking to the magistrate, and I paid more attention to it and eavesdropped a few words on the side. It was only said that he was going to set up an ambush in Xiajiazhuang, Shanyin County to capture and kill the two, passing through Hangzhou, and asked the county lord to quickly withdraw the notice of the reward, so that the Taoist chief would take it lightly. ”

"Lao Tzu didn't take it to heart, even if he set up an ambush, what about it?" Gongye He didn't care.

The sun catcher said again: "Yes, the Taoist Chief's miraculous skills are world-famous, so naturally he doesn't take him in his eyes, but the Taoist Commander knows that he has all the Jinyi captains of Yingtianfu with him, and I heard him say that he will also borrow the garrison of Shaoxing Mansion!

"This guy looks up to Lao Tzu!" Gong Yehe smiled, and suddenly shot the case, "But Lao Tzu doesn't believe in this evil!"

"Engong, even if your old man is not afraid, you have to think about this little brother!" Sun Zhutou was anxious, a little out of shape, and stood up suddenly, feeling that it was inappropriate, and sat back again.

Gongyehe looked at Shen Yuan and said, "If this is true, I really can't take you to Shanyin." ”

"Master, I want revenge!" Shen Yuan frowned and said fiercely, he just wanted to split the five horses of He Youdao right now!

"Rely on you, say ugly words first, and avenge yourself yourself, don't expect Lao Tzu to help you!" Gongye poured a basin of cold water, "Practice martial arts first and then talk about other things." ”

Sun Zhutou was a little surprised, and asked, "Little brother has a grudge against that?"

"Blood Sea Deep Hatred!" Shen Yuan gritted his teeth with hatred, his little hands clenched into fists, and slammed them on the table!

"Hey, little brother, it's not too late for the so-called gentleman to take revenge for ten years, I see that you are not as old as my dog, bear with it for the time being!"

What Sun Zhutou said was to the point, but Shen Yuan was uneasy in his heart and stopped making a sound.

Gongye He looked Sun Zhutou up and down, and said, "You can't fool Lao Tzu, right?"

"If there is half a lie in the next half, the sky will hit five thunders!" Sun Zhutou swore a heavy oath in a hurry, and said: "Dao Chief, there is no grievance with Dao Chang in the past, and there is no enmity in the near future, not to mention that Dao Chang is even more kind to my Sun family, what do I do to you?"

"Well," Gong Yehe stroked his gray beard, and said, "When I see that you are loyal, I will believe you! If Lao Tzu puts this stinky boy here, can you protect him thoroughly?"

"Why do you want to go?" Sun Zhutou listened to the meaning, and Gongye He wanted to go to Shanyin alone.

Gongyehe grinned and asked rhetorically: "Everyone in the rivers and lakes calls me a sword slave, do you know why?"

Sun Zhutou shook his head again and again, and hurriedly said that he didn't know.

"Lao Tzu loved swords the most in his life, especially the famous swords in ancient times! Therefore, wherever there is a sword in the world, there will be my Gongye and I. If the sword is not its master, Lao Tzu will take the sword and find a suitable home for the sword!

Shen Yuan also knew the meaning of 'Sword Slave' for the first time, and immediately looked at the Northern Immortal Sword, thinking to himself: "It turns out that the master gave me this sword, which is really a high hope!"

"Therefore," Gong Yehe continued, "I must go to Xiajiazhuang in Shanyin County, otherwise I won't be able to turn a blind eye when Lao Tzu dies in the future!"

Sun Zhutou saw that no further persuasion was fruitless, so he responded: "In this way, the Taoist chief and let the little brother stay with me temporarily, it will be fine!"

Gongyehe's gaze fell on Shen Yuan, Shen Yuan nodded, and had to agree. The arrangement was stopped, just at noon, Sun Zhutou went out to buy three bowls of shrimp wontons, a cage of steamed buns, and a basket of cooked beef at home, the three of them ate together, filled their stomachs, Sun Zhutou only said that there was something in the yamen, so he took his leave, Gongye and anxious, and went to Xiajiazhuang in Shanyin County, Shaoxing Prefecture.

Shen Yuan was the only one left in this room, and there was nothing to do, so he sat in the room to meditate and practice. He also practiced swordsmanship with the Northern Stygian Sword, but this Northern Stygian Sword was too heavy for him, even if he held it with both hands, he couldn't hold half a pillar of incense for a while, so he simply fell asleep on the bed with the sword in his arms.

From Hangzhou to Shanyin about more than 100 miles, if the horse is fast, it only takes an hour to arrive. Gongye and anxious, bought a fast horse with more than 30 taels of silver in the market, and slipped out of Hangzhou.

Almost at the same time, on the Xiajiazhuang, those disciples of the Hundred Poison Sect and a group of forty or fifty Jinyi guards stood outside the village, only to hear He Youdao say: "Everything is ready, just wait for that old thing to take the bait, go!"

When Gongye and Chima entered the territory of Shanyin County, it was nearly dusk. Two thrushes swept by, fell into the forest, a hundred chirps, so comfortable.

From passers-by, it was learned that the house of Xiajiazhuang was at the foot of Huiji Mountain outside the city, with four entrances and three spans, which was quite large-scale. Gongye and Xing walked to the gate, looked around, but there was no one, and there was no one in the village, and even the dog barked out, and secretly thought: "Look at the head catcher who doesn't look like a treacherous person, presumably the bastard surnamed He should be ambushed nearby, so I will go in and see what he means!"

So he dismounted, pushed the door and entered. Gongye and Qi said: "Why is it that the sky is almost dark, and there is no one in this Xiajiazhuang to take charge of the lamp?" When I arrived in the front yard, I still didn't see a figure, and I smiled secretly in my heart: "This surnamed He must have moved the people of Xiajiazhuang away, but it took a lot of Zhou Zhang, pretending to be these mysteries, and waiting for Lao Tzu to take the sword and leave for a while, so that you will be in vain!"

Gongyehe quickly passed the weeping flower gate and entered the inner courtyard, and saw the door of the main house wide open from a distance, Gongyehe swept left and right, and listened carefully, but there was no movement, and secretly couldn't help but wonder: "What kind of medicine is bought in the gourd?" Lao Tzu is in this courtyard, and he doesn't see a single movement, so he really can't figure it out!"

He slowly walked into the main room, and saw that there was a long box of Nanmu on the table in the room, which was more than three feet long, uncarved and unpolished, and even more simple and solemn. Gongye He's heart was overjoyed, and he was about to reach out and open the box to take a look, when he suddenly paused, and muttered in his mouth: "Looking at its shape, it must be the ancient sword, but it is so obvious that it is a fraud?"

Suddenly, only to hear a slight sound outside the door, Gongye He instantly pulled out the Wave Breaking Sword from behind, and jumped out of the door with a "whoosh". Just looked at Gongye and Feifei, and the tip of the sword was against the chest of a person. I saw that the man was wearing a six-fold hat and an ink-colored jacket, dressed like a servant.

The man was so frightened that he quickly knelt on the ground and cried for mercy.

I only heard Gongye and Leng ask coldly: "Lao Tzu asks you, who are you, where have all the people in this village gone?"

"Uncle, don't kill me, I said, I'll say anything!" the man knelt on the ground and howled, "The little one is just the servant of this Xiajiazhuang, I, I don't know anything, uncle!"

Gongye He watched quietly, but put the sword on the man's shoulder and neck, the man trembled, his neck shrunk and swallowed foam, and said honestly: "Yesterday, an adult surnamed He brought a number of fierce officials and soldiers and forced us to move out of this place, and at this moment the whole village lives in the mansion in the city......

"Then why are you here?"

"Small, small, just by the order of the old man, come and fetch the ......," said the servant, glancing at the long box on the table, and bowing his head again.

"What's in that box?"

"The sword, the ancient sword of the pre-Qin Dynasty, the small one heard the owner of the village say, it should be the sword of the donkey of King Wu," the servant said carefully, "I forgot to bring it in a hurry, the owner of the village specially ordered me to come back to get it, and said that I can not do anything else, but only this sword can not be avoided!"

"King Wu!"

"That's right, that's right, it's this donkey!"

Gongyehe couldn't help but be excited when he heard that it was the ancient sword of the pre-Qin Dynasty, and then thought left and right, and said in his heart: "Since the owner of this village still asked someone to take it at this time, there must be a good sword in this box, and there is no fraud in it!" abandoned this person and returned to the room.

The servant was still begging outside the door: "Uncle, can't you take this sword away, if you lose this sword, the little one won't be able to live!"

Gongyehe didn't seem to hear it, the corners of his mouth rose, and he couldn't stop being happy, thinking in his heart: "Maybe, it's still the sword forged by Ou Yezi!" Putting away the Breaking Wave Sword, he saw that he gently lifted the lid of the box with both hands, and it was indeed a long sword, but the sword body was still wrapped in red silk, Gongyehe scolded: "This owner is really troublesome!"

Seeing that the situation was not good, Gong Yehe danced wildly with a sword in one hand, covered his mouth and nose with the other, and withdrew out of the door almost at the same time! Just look at the long sword in his hand, where is the sword! It is clearly a rotten and broken copper and iron! Look at the servant just now, who is running out, Gong Yehe raised his feet and chased after him, but as soon as he lifted his true qi, he only felt a sharp pain in his chest!

"Poisonous!" Gongye and Shocked, he immediately sat on his luck and tried to force the poison out of his body with internal force.

Seeing that Gongye He was not chasing, the servant stopped and turned around and laughed: "Old thing, Mr. He is really like a god, you really hit the plan, how about it, the 'impermanence of this hundred poison sect', the taste is okay?"

This guy laughed extremely rampantly, Gongye and Bian Yungong forced the poison, and looked at it coldly.

With the depth of Gongye and internal strength, the ordinary poisons in this world are useless to him, but I don't know what kind of cultivation this "impermanence" is, but it is the poison of the town sect that has been passed down from generation to generation in this hundred poison sect. Gongyehe has lived for 70 years, so he naturally knows the name of this poison!

The power of "impermanence" lies not only in its corrosive viscera, but also in the charm of the mind, or madness, or stupidity, as if the soul is hooked by impermanence, turning into a walking corpse, and then poisoning to death!

Look at this guy and turn back, he sneered: "You old thing can't move, it's better to end you, even if He Youdao captures the kid surnamed Shen, this head is still mine!"

When Gongyehe heard this, he was immediately furious! Only then did he suddenly realize that he had actually fallen for He Youdao's plan to divert the tiger from the mountain! That guy had already approached Gongyehe, and only then did he take out the short sword from his arms and was about to stab, but Gongyehe jumped up violently, holding the tattered bronze sword and piercing the man's chest, and the guy was killed when he landed!

"Poof!" And at this time, Gongye and his chest and abdomen were in great pain, a mouthful of black blood spurted out, and he sat down on the ground!

Fang Cai is the key to luck, and when he heard that Shen Yuan had been captured by He Youdao, he instantly lost his proportions, so that his previous achievements were all gone! Gongye He was bloodless at the moment, and scolded in his mouth: "Damn, Lao Tzu hasn't taught his apprentice a skill, how can he die here!"

If it is an ordinary master, I am afraid that he has already lost his life at this time, which shows the depth of Gongye He's internal strength, but in half an hour, Gongye He spit out a few mouthfuls of black blood, and his face also recovered a little ruddy, which is obviously effective!

However, although most of the poison is discharged, there is still a little residue, and the residual poison is blocked by Gongye and True Qi between the two acupuncture points of Shaohai and Shenmen on the left hand, and there is no major problem for the time being, but this left hand is a little numb and the movement is a little blocked.

Gong Yehe didn't care much, he just wanted to go back and rescue Shen Yuan as soon as possible. Out of Zhuangzi, seeing that the horse was still there, got on the horse and galloped to Hangzhou!

When I arrived at the edge of the West Lake, I saw Xiaoyue in the southeast, and the lights were dim. The music on the lake boat was beautiful, but Gongyehe had no intention of appreciating it. Riding a horse and running rampantly down the street, until he reached the door of the house of the grandson catcher, he kicked his feet and turned directly from the horse into the courtyard!

As soon as he landed, the more than 20 waist knives pointed at Gongyehe with a cold light. Gongye and swept left and right, all of them were brocade guards. Suddenly, I heard the neat footsteps outside the wall, and surrounded the front and back of this courtyard like iron buckets, presumably there must be a lot of people!

This is He Youdao who opened the door from the room and walked out, hid behind the Jinyi guard, clapped his hands and praised: "The predecessor of the sword slave is really extraordinary, I know that 'impermanence' can't kill you!"

Gongyehe sneered and said, "Little bastard, I really shouldn't have let you go back in the first place!

"Old thing, don't be here to talk about it! You don't look at what the current situation is!" He Youdao has a bottom in his heart, knowing that although Gongyehe can't die for a while, the poison of this 'impermanence' is not easy to get rid of!

"Just these few?" Gong Yehe looked contemptuous, not taking these brocade guards in his eyes at all.

He Youdao smiled and said: "Of course not, in order to kill you, I have transferred three hundred iron armor to ambush outside!

"Don't talk nonsense, where is Lao Tzu's apprentice now?" Gongye He was not afraid, and only said, "If my apprentice loses a hair, I will make you die without a place to be buried!"

"Oh, He was about to see how you old thing killed me!"

As soon as the words fell, I saw Fang Wei tie Shen Yuan out and throw Shen Yuan to the ground! Shen Yuan glared at Fang Wei angrily, hating in his heart: "It's this person again! If I can live this time, I will definitely break this person's body into ten thousand pieces in the future!"

When he looked up and saw Gong Yehe, he shouted loudly, "Master, save me!"
