The old Taoist priest waved his hand and introduced himself: "Poor Dao Qingyun, this is my apprentice named Yuntang." He looked at Yun Tang, and then said, "Let's untie the rope for him first." ”

Yun Tang snorted, stepped forward, and with a wave of his sword, the rope broke.

Mu Dongfeng stood up, moved his hands and feet, and clenched his fists and said, "Thank you Dao Master for saving your life." Wait a minute, you just said, what is your name, Qingyun. Could it be the Qingyun Dao Chief, one of the three elders of the rivers and lakes?"

"Hey, the person who saved you is me. My Master's name is what you can call it. Yun Tang put the sword back into the sheath, and looked at Mu Dongfeng's eyes with unkindness.

Mu Dongfeng smiled and said, "Yes, yes, Senior Brother Yun is right. Thank you brother for saving your life. Brother, you see, let me introduce myself first, my name is..."

"Wait, wait, how did I become your senior brother after a while?Master, when did you agree to accept him as an apprentice?" Yun Tang looked confused.

Qingyun Dao Chang found a place, sat down cross-legged, looked at Mu Dongfeng, and asked, "What's your name?"

"My name is Mu Dongfeng, Master. Wan Ma Tang Zhuo Bufan is my godfather. I was an orphan since I was a child, and my parents died of the plague three years ago. Mu Dongfeng came to Qingyun Dao Chief, knelt down with a plop, and said, "Master, your old name is like thunder, I wanted to worship you as a teacher a long time ago, please accept me!"

"Oops, you're pretty out of sight. Kowtow when you meet, how can the master accept apprentices so easily!" Yun Tang came to the side of Qingyun Dao Leader and looked at Mu Dongfeng with disgust.

Daoist Qingyun smiled and said, "Zhuo Bufan's godson, are you the little guy who commanded the refugees to enter the city three years ago?"

"It's me, it's me. Master knows this, it's too powerful!" Mu Dongfeng blushed and said with a smile: "Let me tell you, Master, that day was just too dangerous. Thanks to my haste and wisdom, righteousness and awe-inspiring, selflessness, and death..."

Qingyun Daoist raised his hand to stop Mu Dongfeng, and said with a smile: "Well, it's also a good fate." Poor Dao can take you as an apprentice, but you have to tell me how you got here?"

"Ahh Before you entered, a man in black took me captive. It seems to be my godfather's enemy, what is Tan Wanli's. ”

"Tan Wanli?" Qingyun Daoist frowned and said, "But Tan Wanli, the first evil in Shanxi who is known as the lone thief of Wanli?"

Mu Dongfeng nodded and said, "It should be him." He stole my purse and led me to the foot of the Crescent Mountain. Originally, the catchers from Maple Leaf City had already rushed over. Unexpectedly, he took advantage of the darkness to take me here. It's a shame that Master and Senior Brother happen to be here, otherwise I might have been cut out of my heart and liver, and I would have died with no place to be buried!"

Daoist Qingyun nodded and said, "It's okay, it's okay, we also arrived in time." Yuntang, you go around and take a look, Old Thief Tan shouldn't have gone far. ”

"Master, Old Thief Tan should have been injured, and the injury was not light. "Mudong said.

Yun Tang pursed his lips and said, "How do you know that Tan Wanli is injured?"

Mu Dongfeng pointed to the campfire and said, "There are blood stains there." It's not mine, it's his. And before you and Master came, I felt that he had difficulty breathing. However, he slipped away quite fast, and in the blink of an eye, the person was gone. ”

Qingyun Dao Chang stroked his beard and smiled: "For Tan Wanli, no matter how serious the injury is, it will not delay his escape. Let's leave him alone, you can go down the mountain with me. ”

Mu Dongfeng was happy and said with a smile: "Master, have you agreed to accept me as an apprentice?"

Qingyun Dao Chang nodded and said, "Poor Dao and your godfather have had several relationships, friends. Since you and I met today, it can be regarded as fate. It's almost dawn, let's go down the mountain into the city and say hello to your godfather. You will then follow the poor road to the rivers and lakes, and within three years, how much you can learn depends on your creation. ”

"Thank you, Master!" Mu Dongfeng hurriedly kowtowed.

When the three of them came to the bottom of the mountain, it was already dawn.

The catchers of Maple Leaf City gathered at the foot of the mountain, and Zhuo Bufan, Zhuo Qingyan, and the dart master of Wanma Hall also rushed over. Seeing Mu Dongfeng coming down the mountain safely, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

After the greetings, when it came to accepting apprentices, Zhuo Bufan was naturally happy. He arched his hand towards the Qingyun Dao Chief: "The Dao Leader can see the upper hand, and he is naturally happy below." It's just that this child has been fatherless and motherless since he was a child, and he has been spoiled by me. If there is any rudeness in the future, the Taoist chief will take care of it!"

Zhuo Qingyan on the side stepped forward to withdraw Zhuo Bufan's sleeve and whispered: "Dad, I also want to apprentice, and I also want to go to the rivers and lakes with Brother Feng." ”

Zhuo Bufan flicked his sleeves and said, "Don't mess around! You are a girl, what are you going to do? Stay at home honestly." Besides, Feng'er will come back in three years, what are you going to make a mess about?"

Zhuo Qingyan pouted and was about to cry, Mu Dongfeng hurriedly stepped forward and took her hand and dragged it aside, and whispered: "Senior sister, listen to me, I will come back to you in three years, and when I learn a skill, I promise you that I will take you to the rivers and lakes and be free." You wait for me at home, take care of our father and mother, and Xiao Hei. ”

It's okay not to persuade it, this persuasion, Zhuo Qingyan is crying with pear blossoms and rain.

When Mu Dongfeng saw it, he was immediately at a loss: "Senior sister, eldest sister, aunt, I said aunt, don't cry, I know you are reluctant to let me go." But didn't I say it, I'll be back in three years. At that time, I will never be separated from you again, and I will haunt you all day long..."

"Poof", Zhuo Qingyan was amused. She glanced at Mu Dongfeng and said, "Who said I can't bear you?" I feel sorry for Xiao Hei and no one will bully me in the future. But first of all, you have to bring me a gift when you come back. ”

"Good, good!"

"Gotta give a gift to the little black belt. ”

"Good, good!"

"I have to bring gifts to my father and mother. ”

"Good, good!"

"Here's to you. Zhuo Qingyan took off a piece of close-fitting jade from his neck, handed it to Mu Dongfeng, and said, "You take it! ”

Mu Dongfeng hurriedly took it, put it around his neck, stuffed it into his arms, patted his chest, and said, "Don't worry! People are in jade, people are not in jade. ”

"You have a bad stomach, you should eat less cold and spicy food and drink more hot water when you go out. Leng Nuan knows how to add or subtract clothes, and he is not allowed to drink alcohol when he goes out. And..."Zhuo Qingyan is like an old mother who sends her son on a long journey.

Mu Dongfeng nodded frequently, like a rattle.

At this time, Qingyun Dao Chang waved to Mu Dongfeng and said, "Feng'er, come here." ”

Mu Dongfeng hurriedly ran forward.

Qingyun Daoist Zhengse said: "Feng'er, go and kowtow to your godfather! ”

Mu Dongfeng solemnly walked in front of Zhuo Bufan, knelt down on his knees, kowtowed three times, and said with tears in his eyes: "Dad, take care of yourself! Feng'er is not filial, wait for me to return from studying art, and then come to honor my father and mother!"

Zhuo Bufan suppressed the excitement in his heart, helped Mu Dongfeng up, and said with a smile: "Follow the master to study hard, don't worry about family affairs." ”

Under the reluctant gaze of everyone, Qingyun Daoren, Mu Dongfeng, and Yuntang disappeared into the morning light.

Tong Erniu wiped his tears and asked, "What are we going to do next?"

"Continue to search the mountain, don't let Tan Wanli's old thief escape. Zhuo Bufan and Lu Chuan spoke almost in unison.
