In the afternoon of this day, the sunshine on the west slope was blocked by the mountains, and the cave under the cliff was as cold as ever. In the past, whenever this time came, Cheng Cheng would go out of the hole to practice boxing to replenish his yang energy. But today, she walked slowly outside the cave a few times, and she was already tired, and finally gave up and did not practice the complete routine.

After Li Xilian accompanied her into the cave, she quickly warmed a bowl of porridge for her, and then asked her to take medicine and rest as soon as possible.

Li Xilian went out of the cave again and saw that Ren Pingsheng was still sitting in place, with a pile of egg-sized stones under his feet, with different shapes. Ren Pingsheng is playing with stones one by one. Each one is thrown, drawing a different curve in mid-air, flying far away, and I don't know where it lands.

"Don't get used to the pebbles you brought from your hometown?" Li Xilian said sarcastically.

Ren Pingsheng didn't say anything, and picked up a stone with a slightly smooth surface but a shape that was not square or round, and threw it with his hand.

I saw a very strange trajectory, first flying straight, then to the left, but only flying for a while, and then flying diagonally upwards to the right; the speed was extremely fast, and it disappeared in a flash. After a while, there was a crisp sound in the distance, and on a bare earthy hill forty or fifty zhang away, a dead tree with a thick bowl mouth broke in the bush and collapsed.

Li Xilian was dumbfounded, and said, "Actually, it's not impossible to change things." ”

Ren Pingsheng suddenly became excited, patted the stone chips and dust on his hands, interlocked his fingers behind his head, and said leisurely: "It's not a way to go on like this." ”

Li Xilian also had a sad face, and sighed slightly: "It's not just a day, it's obviously a lot worse, there is no medicine smoke, I'm afraid I will have to stay here for a longer time." ”

Ren Pingsheng nodded, "The longer the time, the higher the risk of being discovered." It would be much better if the charcoal was burning. ”

Li Xilian disagreed, "Although the use of charcoal is smokeless, the smoke of the medicine itself is very strong. I don't know how many times thicker than the smoke of firewood. Taking the risk of doing that medicinal smoke, burning charcoal and firewood, in fact, it makes no difference. ”

Ren Pingsheng said: "Who said that you want to make medicinal fumigation, it is to boil water and medicinal bath." ”

Li Xilian suddenly realized that this method was not entirely an expedient measure. The effect of the medicinal bath is only better.

Ren Pingsheng suddenly turned his head, looked at her and said, "I'll go out for a while, when I can come back tonight, I can't say, or maybe tomorrow." ”

After that, he handed Li Xilian two small bamboo tubes with smooth pulp and golden color, and the bottom of the bamboo tube still exposed a thread that could only be held by fingers. Ren Pingsheng told her how to use it, and once she encountered a strong opponent, she would cast it on the other party, waiting for an opportunity to escape.

At the beginning, Li Changan gave him three small bamboo tubes, one of which was used up in the West Wind Racecourse before, and there were two left, which he always carried with him in case of emergency. When he came out of the trapped Longtai Stone Pavilion, although the burden and pebbles had fallen, he deliberately brought out these two small bamboo tubes. I thought it would be used in Qingniuping, but I didn't expect that one day what I encountered would either be a surprise life and death risk, or it was surprisingly smooth, and I didn't have a chance to cast those two embarrassment smokes at all.

The autumn is cold and snowy, and the moon is dark and the wind is like a knife.

In this thick and boundless bitter cold night, there is a warm fire, shining and shining, like a lonely star in the vast night sky, which can be seen for miles.

In a valley and dense forest at the foot of a snow-capped mountain, Ren Pingsheng squatted in front of a newly dug barrel-shaped earthen kiln, watching the fire in the kiln. On the roof of the open kiln, you can see the short wooden strips stacked in an orderly manner, and bursts of flames burst out of the gaps. It's just that these flames are all burned by the wooden strips stacked below, and the wooden strips on the top are still not burning.

Ren Pingsheng was not in a hurry at all, and he didn't even bother to fan the wind at the mouth of the kiln to speed up the burning speed.

After three years of striking iron with Yuan Da Hammer, although charcoal burning is not a livelihood, it is also essential. As long as he doesn't compare with the charcoal burner who used to make a living from this, Ren Pingsheng is still a good hand at asking himself.

A cliff separated by several hills has an extremely open view. There is a stone cave on the top of the cliff, and in the cave a man wearing a hat is half-lying under the cold and hard cave wall, pouring a sip of very bad liquor into the wine gourd. Every time the man took a sip of wine, he turned his head sideways, looked at the extremely conspicuous spark in the distance, and scolded: "His uncle's, his uncle's...... It's too unreasonable, Lao Tzu froze so much that his eggs shrank to his navel

Nest in this black lamp and blind fire to give you the wind, you stinky boy roasting the fire where to die. ”

A gust of mountain wind with biting frost swept in from the entrance of the cave, Hu Jiu was silent, and poured soju fiercely, feeling that it was not enough to relieve his anger, and continued to scold: "Lao Tzu is the yin virtue accumulated by the ancestors of that generation, let me bump into a little ancestor like you? As for you, a little careless, let others clean it up, if I move the nest, this generation ...... Tonight, no alcohol all night. ”

Hu Jiu simply turned his head and looked at the black cave wall opposite, out of sight and out of mind. Thinking about the poisonous oath I made just now, I couldn't help but look at the night sky outside the cave again, secretly lucky.

Fortunately, there shouldn't be much time left tonight.

Ren Pingsheng was bored, took a grass stem in his mouth, and played with the tip of his tongue, watching the long grass stem swaying in the firelight, which was very interesting. He suddenly turned his head sharply, his wandering gaze instantly condensed, and the essence was blazing, looking into the dark depths of the forest. But after a glance, he immediately withdrew his gaze naturally, still looking intoxicated, admiring the near-perfect fire in the kiln.

This must be a good kiln!

What could not be seen from the darkness was that the young man in Tsing Yi in the firelight had quietly held the iron sword hidden at his side with one hand, and in the other hand, he had quietly detained two strangely shaped stones.

The sound of the cold worm shattered, and even the wind in the mountains and forests that had been unbridled in the middle of the night seemed to begin to become cautious. All of a sudden, everything around me seemed to be very peaceful.

Exceptional tranquility.

Suddenly, a gray shadow, like a rainbow, fell from the sky and jumped into the firelight.

Ren Pingsheng jumped up from the ground, and retreated several feet as quickly as the wind swept away the leaves, but the iron sword in his left hand had already been swung out, and a sword qi rolled forward like a wild dragon, slashing towards the gray Changhong. In the right hand, two strange small tracks flew out, which were incomparably fast, but they seemed to be inaccurate.

The gray shadow was not hindered at all, only to see a pair of big sleeves, rotating relative to each other and drawing an arc, and the long rainbow instantly turned into an interlocking, circular whirlpool of qi.

The sword qi that was like a wild dragon tumbling, and the two stones with strange flying paths, flashed and disappeared in the huge whirlpool, and there were no ripples.

When Ren Pingsheng landed suddenly, he happened to see the fat man in a gray robe opposite, standing by the fire. The dead fat man seemed to habitually raise his sleeve, wipe the corners of his forehead, and with his other hand, quietly threw two egg-sized stones to the ground.

"It's you. Ren Pingsheng laughed and said: "I'm sorry, I didn't plan to rob you of your job, I just wanted to break off with some people hiding in the shadows." Unexpectedly, the main owner didn't come, but he attracted the business grabbers. ”

Shi Yuqing, who flew from the sky, had a complicated expression, and he didn't know whether it was sad or serious, in short, it was not good-looking. He ignored Ren Pingsheng's ridicule, didn't say a word, stared at the young man in green shirt opposite with his eyes, his lips trembled slightly, as if he was brewing words, and he seemed to be sad and angry, unable to speak.

Ren Pingsheng spread his hands and said helplessly: "Don't worry, I won't harm your little uncle, as long as I am safe, she will definitely be able to go back unharmed." ”

Shi Yuqing clenched his fists, and it seemed that he was no longer just brewing words.

Ren Pingsheng sighed and said, "You search here, your ancestor must not know." You yourself must have disobeyed the strict orders of the sect without permission, and did not follow the clues left by 'me' to chase the northeast, but secretly ran here. Aren't you afraid that if you make a mistake, you will miss a big thing?"

Shi Yuqing was stunned when he heard this, his clenched fists stretched slightly, but his face was still serious and abnormal: "But I'm right." Let go of Uncle Xiao, as long as she is fine, I won't embarrass you. ”

Ren Pingsheng smiled, "What if something happens to her?"

Shi Yuqing was stunned for a moment. That's right, Uncle Xiao missed more than ten days of treatment, how can he be completely fine?

"Do you have to kill me?" Ren Pingsheng said with a serious face, "Then find my sister and kill them all to vent your anger for Uncle Junior?" Of course, I can guarantee that your Uncle Xiao is not dead." ”

Shi Yuqing looked dazed, raised his sleeve and wiped his eyes, and said in a slightly trembling voice: "Although you were forced, the little uncle is also innocent, you shouldn't be like this."

Do. If you had caught me, you could have done it, but why did you arrest Uncle Junior? She was hurt like that......

Shi Yuqing said that later, his head was lowered, and he was almost muttering to himself. Indeed, even if Uncle Xiao had something, what could he do to kill Ren Pingsheng? He was a great cultivator of the Ying Heaven Realm, of course he could do it, but what was the use.

Shi Yuqing suddenly raised his head and said with a sad face: "You let me see the junior uncle first, and then go back to the mountain with me and give the sect master an explanation." I promise not to make a move on you. ”

Ren Pingsheng suddenly became full of anger, and said fiercely: "You may not make a move, even if you are the sect master of Xiqiao Mountain, you will not make a move." But the matter has come to this point, what kind of Uncle Tang and Uncle Zhang in your family will allow my sister and brother to live in the world?"

Shi Yuqing suddenly remembered that on the Qingniuping that day, at that critical moment, the murderous eyes of Elder Tang of the Zhanglu Hall, as well as the swarms of the Zhanglu Hall under the mountain, those people, no matter how they looked, they didn't look like they were just catching a thief who was already in danger.

Ren Pingsheng saw that the fat man was speechless, and hit the railroad while it was hot: "Besides, even if you can kill me now, what can you do? As you decent people said, once you startle the snake, hehe, if you want to find your little uncle again, don't expect it in this life!"

Ren Pingsheng said that the earth rose, and inspiration was like a spring, "My sister will naturally do everything possible to avenge her brother by any means." ”

Shi Yuqing felt as if his body was instantly emptied, his feet were weak, and he sat down on the ground like a ball of meat.

The nickname given by the same door will never be wrong.

He is a charcoal burner who has rarely gone down the mountain since he was five years old, and he has a body of cultivation in the Heavenly Realm, and in this kind of thing, where will he be Ren Pingsheng's opponent.

Shi Yuqing suddenly raised his head, tears shining on his face, and begged: "Ren Pingsheng, don't pretend to be a bad person, okay? I've seen bad people, they are all like you, but they are very different, please return the little uncle to me, okay." You can do whatever you want me Shi Yuqing to do. ”

Meat Ball suddenly collapsed like this, but Ren Pingsheng didn't expect it, and said softly: "Meat Ball, this is just a matter of me and your sect." You don't have to take it on yourself. Besides, if you have to turn into a duel between you and me, not only will you have no chance of winning, but you will eventually be charged with disobeying your master's orders and acting across the line without authorization. This place is not the boundary of your Xiqiao Mountain. You came here on business, and you didn't let the sect inform the mountains of this territory. Listen to my advice, go back and pretend that nothing happened, and be your grandmaster. Qingniuping is a place with good feng shui, with your talent, it is not impossible to achieve a generation of immortal masters in Xiqiao Mountain, and even look forward to soaring. ”

Meat Qiu'er shook his head and said with a firm expression: "If you cross the border if you disobey the order, I will personally accept the guilt." As long as Uncle Xiao hands it over to me, I swear never to reveal your whereabouts. ”

Meat Qiu'er didn't wait for Ren Pingsheng to respond, facing the southwest, pinching the soil for incense, chanting words in his mouth, and reciting a "Jade Emperor Ciguang Table" word for word, and then solemnly sweared: "...... The Emperor of Heaven can learn from it, the Taishang is like a law, do not forgive, I Xiqiao Mountain Shi Yuqing, if I violate this oath, the golden pill will be shattered, the soul will be wiped out, and I will fall into the forty-nine prisons that will never be recovered......"

Ren Pingsheng listened quietly for a while, and couldn't help but interrupt: "The Taoist family swears, why do you want to face the southwest?"

Shi Yuqing ignored him, said the oath with a pious face, and then knelt down three times that day, then breathed a sigh of relief, got up and said: "Motianling Babel Tower, no one knows where it is, but Taoist classics record that this mountain is outside the southwest sky, connecting heaven and earth. Therefore every one who prays with an oath should face southwest, and heaven will hear him. ”

Ren Pingsheng nodded silently, so it seems that the two disciples of the Nine Eyes Mountain who appeared by the river at the beginning were not completely fooled when they swore an oath.

You must know that after the Taoist people swear an oath and the Taoism, they will be imprisoned by this heavenly way for life, and if they violate the oath, they will be punished by heaven.

Ren Pingsheng said: "In this way, even if you fight to the death, you have to save Uncle Xiaoshi?"

Shi Yuqing nodded silently, with a firm expression, "Please do it." ”

Ren Pingsheng walked slowly to Shi Yuqing, patted Shi Yuqing's shoulder and said, "In this case, let's help burn the charcoal in the kiln first and fight a few times." Don't worry, it's a long time coming. There are some things, once you know them, you may not be able to return to Xiqiao Mountain for many years, let alone see your brothers. ”
