He Meichun heard that Jian Rang killed Fan Chenglin with his own hands, but did not bring Fan Chenglin's head back, obviously a little uneasy, for fear that Jian Rang would show favoritism, and secretly asked a few minions who went with him, and those minions all replied in unison: "The general stabbed the military division to death with a knife, and stabbed it in the chest, and the military division is already dead and can't die anymore." ”

He Meichun, who was suspicious, quietly sent a confidant to the side of the road to check it out, and the confidant reported that there was only blood on the ground, and the body was gone, and it may have been swallowed by tigers and leopards.

Under a cliff in the back mountain of Biji Mountain, there is a valley that is rarely visited, so a remote place surrounded by cliffs on all sides, it stands to reason that no one will exist, but at the bottom of the valley, there is a small wooden house that can only shelter from the wind and rain.

The owner of the cabin was a handsome hermit, who seemed to be close to forty years old, and had lived at the bottom of the valley for an unknown number of years. Although it is deserted, the owner of the wooden house keeps it spotless. At this time, the aroma of decoction came from the clay pot on the stove outside the cabin, and it turned out that the hermit was decocting the medicine.

At the bottom of the valley under this cliff, the scenery is pleasant pine and cypress evergreen, it is late autumn, the maple leaves are red, and the fragrant flowers are hidden in the green trees, which is really a place of cultivation. There is a small stream murmuring next to the wooden house, and from time to time I can hear the roar of deer and ape, and look up at the sky, the cliff is towering, and it is not possible to go up without apes and birds, and it is indeed a good place to retreat.

The handsome hermit was decocting the medicine, when he suddenly heard a woman's groan from the hut, and the hermit said with joy, "Yes! she's awake!" The hermit was not afraid of being hot, so he stretched out his hand and took the pot from the stove, poured the soup into the bowl, and walked into the hut with the medicine.

The furniture in the wooden house was extremely simple, a table, a bed, a chair, a futon, and a sword hanging from the wall, which looked ordinary and inconspicuous. There was a woman lying on the bed, it was the willow girl who jumped off the cliff yesterday. At this time, Yang Liu had already woken up from the coma, the wound on his body was painful, and he couldn't help moaning.

The hermit came to the bed with the medicine bowl, put the medicine bowl on the table, and said with a smile: "Girl, you can drink this bowl of medicine while it is hot later, and it will be well soon!"

Yang Liu looked at the hermit, recalled the scene of jumping off the cliff yesterday, struggled to sit up, but felt that the bones in his whole body were like they were about to break, and couldn't help but let out an "ouch", so he had to lie down again.

The hermit smiled and said, "Girl, don't move, you jumped off the cliff yesterday and hung on a tree, I rescued you and fed you medicine, and now your life is not in danger." Alas, your injuries are not light, you have been in a coma for a day and a night, and you have to take a good time to relax!"

Yang Liu knew that he had been rescued after jumping off the cliff, and Yang Liu looked at the hermit and said gratefully: "Yang Liu, thank you Mr. for saving your life!

The hermit smiled indifferently, "The old man's surname is Xie, he is dozens of years older than you girl, you just need to call me Mr. Xie, the old man has been living in seclusion here for five or six years, and he doesn't know what is going on outside the valley." Miss Yangliu, what is there about you that you can't think about it, and you want to jump off a cliff to commit suicide?"

Yang Liu hesitated for a moment, a little afraid that this hermit had something to do with those bandits, but after all, people saved themselves, if they lied and couldn't live up to their life-saving grace, they muttered for a long time, and didn't know how to answer.

The hermit was also an extremely shrewd man, and when he saw that the girl's face was difficult, he knew it

She had something unspeakable, so she smiled and said: "Miss Yangliu, you must have something unspeakable, so the old man won't ask, when do you want to say it, tell the old man about it." At this time, the decoction on the table had been warmed, and the hermit brought the medicine bowl to Yang Liu and fed her the decoction.

Yang Liu was very grateful to the hermit in his heart, but he was shy, after all, it was not convenient for a lonely man and a widow to be in the same room.

The hermit surnamed Xie smiled, "Miss Yangliu, since you are here, this room will be given to you for the time being, and the old man will go and build another room to live in." As he spoke, he turned and walked out of the wooden house, and the willow lay on the bed, and heard only the sound of a big tree falling outside, followed by the sound of ping-pong making wooden objects, presumably the hermit was building a new wooden house.

Half an hour later, the hermit came in with another bowl of corn porridge and fed it to the willows. The hermit and Yang Liu have no relatives and no reason, but they are very amiable, Yang Liu is very grateful, and chatted with the hermit for a while, only to know that this hermit surnamed Xie is over seventy years old this year, but his face looks like he is about forty.

Yang Liu smiled and asked, "Mr. Xie, you are over 70 years old this year, but you look like a 40-year-old person, how can you stay as young as you? Can you eat the elixir to live forever? Also, how can you live alone in this isolated valley? Aren't you afraid of wolves, insects, tigers and leopards here alone?"

Mr. Xie, the hermit, sat on the chair next to the table and laughed: "Miss Yangliu, I have practiced an internal strength method since I was a child, so I look young, but in fact, this internal strength method is very boring, and I have to practice kung fu for an hour every day. As for why I live in this isolated valley, I stayed here to avoid an enemy, and I am slowly improving my martial arts every day. ”

Yang Liu Daqi, "Mr. Xie, do you know martial arts? Then you must be a master!"

Mr. Xie sighed and said: "Master? What is a master? The master in the eyes of the world is just more than three grades, and the second grade is already the limit of ordinary people, and if he can reach the first grade martial realm, he is the best master in the eyes of ordinary people, and the first grade is divided into five grades, Wu Cheng, Wu Ling, Wu Xuan, Wu Sheng, and Wu God." The difference between each level is enormous. The highest first-class martial god, if he does not enter the world, he should be regarded as a top master in the eyes of the world. ”

Yang Liu said with a smile: "The little girl doesn't know martial arts, so I take the liberty of asking, which grade is Mr. Xie in?"

Mr. Xie obviously recalled the past, and his smile was a little strange, "Others once said that the old man is a master, a few years ago, I competed with the enemy, injured the enemy, and the old man himself fell into the realm, so he went to the bottom of this valley to live in seclusion, and he has not been out of the rivers and lakes for five or six years, so I don't know how the rivers and lakes are outside now, and I don't know if I am still a master!"

Yang Liu doesn't know anything about martial arts, and when Mr. Xie told her this, it was completely for the sake of her not knowing martial arts, otherwise Mr. Xie wouldn't have mentioned a word. Time flies, in a blink of an eye, Yang Liu has lived in a cabin at the bottom of the valley for more than ten days, and most of his injuries have healed, he can already get out of bed and walk, and help Mr. Xie cook porridge, Mr. Xie built a wooden house in half an hour that day, what a fast speed!

When Yang Liu got out of the wooden house, he found that Mr. Xie had cultivated a small piece of land at the bottom of the valley and planted corn, and the porridge he drank every day was the corn produced on the land that Mr. Xie had planted himself. It's just that the corn produced by Mr. Xie planted this land is only enough for Mr. Xie to eat alone, and now there is another willow, and the two of them will soon eat up the corn that Mr. Xie has saved

I was faintly uneasy.

Mr. Xie saw Yang Liu's thoughts, and said with a smile: "Miss Yang Liu, you don't have to worry about not having food to eat, there are birds and animals at the bottom of this valley, and there are fish in the stream, but the old man is too lazy to kill, so he only drinks corn porridge at every meal." As for the old man, you don't have to worry, the old man has broken through the realm in the past few days, even if there is no food, he can't go hungry!"

Yang Liu heard him say this, so he put his mind at ease, and no longer hid it from Mr. Xie, telling Mr. Xie how he was caught in the cottage, how Fan Chenglin saved himself, and how He Meichun hooked up with Fan Chenglin, but was rejected by Fan Chenglin, He Meichun wanted to kill Fan Chenglin in a fit of anger, and he designed to deceive the arrow, and Fan Chenglin escaped from the cottage, and parted ways in order to avoid the pursuers.

After listening to this, Mr. Xie laughed, "What a pair of affectionate and righteous men and women, the old man thinks that the two of you can make up a family in the future!"

Yang Liu blushed, and remembered that on the way out, Fan Chenglin said that he was going to defect to Tang Jiusheng, the king of Wei, and he didn't know if Fan Chenglin had escaped from the tiger's mouth.

Before Mr. Xie entered the valley, he knew several famous princes, such as Pingxi Wang Yinquan, Lingnan Wang Yinchun and the like, but he had never heard of a prince with a different surname surnamed Tang. Mr. Xie thought about it again and said with a smile: "Miss Yangliu, are you willing to learn martial arts?"

Yang Liu was stunned for a moment, and said with a smile: "Mr. Xie, I am seventeen years old this year, is it a little late to learn martial arts?"

Mr. Xie shook his head and said: "Learning literature and martial arts, no matter how old you are, you can't say it's late! Because everyone's pursuit is different, if you learn martial arts, you don't necessarily have to go to the first realm, and if it's a practice that is both internal and external, age is not a big problem! I have a set of mental methods, which have been created at the bottom of the valley in the past few years, if you are interested, you can learn it, and the right should be the foundation of martial arts." ”

Yang Liu quickly knelt down and wanted to worship Mr. Xie as a teacher, but Mr. Xie returned the half salute and immediately helped her up, only willing to pass on her mental method and refused to accept her as an apprentice.

After living at the bottom of the valley for half a month, Yang Liu's injuries not only healed, but also learned Mr. Xie's internal skills. Mr. Xie sharpened a wooden sword and began to teach her swordsmanship, and a month later, Yang Liu's swordsmanship also entered the door.

When he got up that morning, Yang Liu practiced his sword in front of the wooden house again, and Mr. Xie asked with a smile: "Miss Yang Liu, do you want to go looking for your Fan Gongzi? If you want to go to him, the old man will send you out of the valley!"

Yang Liuxi said: "I naturally want to go out of the valley, but this valley is surrounded by cliffs, how can I get out?"

Mr. Xie laughed, "What's so difficult about this!" Standing in front of the wooden house, there was a clear whistle, and in a short time, a big white crane more than one person tall landed in front of the wooden house and nodded to Mr. Xie. Mr. Xie took Yang Liu's hand, and the two stepped on the white crane, which grew together and spread its wings and soared into the air, and Yang Liu felt like a cloud flying into the sky.

An hour later, the white crane has flown over Anshu County, Mr. Xie pressed the white crane to the clouds, put the willow outside the south gate of Anshu County, and then said goodbye to the willow, only said that there will be a period later, and then took the crane away. Yang Liu is like in a dream.

The guards at the south gate of Anshu County saw Mr. Xie coming by crane and leaving by crane, and they were immediately dumbfounded, there are really immortals who ride cranes!
