Chapter Twenty-Six: Master and Apprentice Recognize Each Other

Huang Shan couldn't help it anymore, this palm technique, and this body method, who else but him?

Huang Shan knelt on the spot with a plop, choked with tears on his face: "Master, the disciple is not filial, so you have suffered here for fifteen years, and the disciple has not been filial by your side. Master, the disciple has finally found you, and you have made the disciple think so hard, and find it so hard. ”

The white-haired man didn't pay any attention to Huang Shan, but continued to do what he did frantically, Huang Shan didn't stop it, and he didn't intend to stop it, after so many years, he should let him vent well.

The white-haired man turned his head and saw Huang Shan kneeling there straight, and suddenly slapped it with a palm. The palm of his hand stopped half a foot from Huangshan's forehead. The pain on the white-haired man's face made his pale face even more frightened.

"Say, what happened then? Zhu Di entered the palace, where did Han Santong go? And Mei Yin, where did Mei Lao Er go?" The white-haired man's eyes were on fire, and a suffocating murderous aura came to his face.

"After the battle of Fengyunling, the master Bo was discouraged, and he became a monk, and the last time he heard his legend was ten years ago, it is said that the master Bo died of depression in Zhongnan Mountain. The second division led the troops to garrison Huai'an, and the later general Li Jinglong rebelled, and the second division had no skills to return to the sky and had to surrender. Five years ago, Zhu Di sent someone to assassinate the second master at home. ”

Huang Shan said a sentence and shed tears, but he calmly told everything he knew.

"Impossible," the white-haired man waved his hand and roared angrily: "Impossible, do you know who Mei Lao Er is? He is Zhu Yuanzhang's son-in-law and Zhu Di's brother-in-law, how could he kill him? Do you know how high Mei Lao Er's martial arts are? A hundred of you are not his opponent, who can kill him?"

Huang Shan sobbed and said: "Zhu Di pretended to show that he didn't care about his previous suspicions, and then with a glass of poisonous wine, the second uncle and the second uncle were gone." ”

"Master, if you have anger, if you have fire, let it be on your disciples. ”

"Who are you?Who are you?Why are you looking for me?What is your purpose in looking for me?" The white-haired man burst into a roar of exclamation, and his emotions were about to be uncontrollable.

"Master, I'm Shan'er, fifteen years ago, in the mountains of Liao'erwa, do you really not remember me?"

"Shan'er?" the white-haired man muttered in a low voice, muttering the name over and over again, and suddenly held his head in his hands again, tearing his hair in pain: "Since this is the case, then what is the point of me living here for countless days and nights without being like a human and a ghost?"

Huang Shan didn't dare to answer this question, and he didn't dare to answer it himself.

After a long, long time, the two remained silent.

"Shan'er, is your old man okay?"

Huang Shan finally woke up, he knew that the master was always the master, and the master was finally awake.

"Master, do you recognize your disciple? Master he thinks about you all the time, since you have an accident, Master and his old man sigh all day long, often come to your room in a daze alone. He has been asking his disciples to tidy up and clean your house, but no one else is allowed to enter. ”

"Then, what about your sister-in-law?"

"Before I came here, I had just come out of Shiniang's place, and she lived with Wusi Wuhan in the countryside not far from here. Later, when people from the Western Regions came to snatch the book of war, Senior Brother Pei Yun died in order to protect his mother, and Wusi and Wuhan went to Henan with the uncles of Liujiazhai. Shi Niang, Shi Niang reappeared in a rage, I don't know where I went, I'm sorry master, the disciple is at fault, and I didn't protect my sister and my younger brothers and sisters. ”

"Wuxi?" the white-haired man muttered, "they were all so small back then. ”

It turned out that the white-haired man was Xi Zhen who died in the battle of Fengyunling fifteen years ago, holding Guan Tong and ending up, but he didn't expect him to be alive, but I don't know why he became like this.

"Master," Huang Shan asked tentatively, "Why have you been here for fifteen years, and how have you spent these fifteen years?"

Unexpectedly, Xi Zhen was furious and said: "What are you asking these for? Fifteen years, it turns out that fifteen years." Tell me why you're here. ”

Huang Shan thought that he shouldn't ask, so he muttered: "After leaving the master and mother, I went all the way west, passing by the cliff village in front, and the villagers of the cliff village always thought that there were ghosts living here, so I came down in vain. ”

"Ghosts?" Xi Zhen muttered for a while, and suddenly laughed sadly: "Yes." Look at the way I look now, people don't look like people, ghosts don't look like ghosts, what are they if they are not ghosts in their eyes?"

"They said that ghosts could be heard crying here every month, and later some people saw ghosts on the edge of the cliff. Since then, people have often fallen off cliffs and died, master, you ......"

Huang Shan didn't dare to ask again, because there were some things that he didn't dare to imagine.

"Hmph, that's why they should die," Xi Zhen said angrily, "They have ghosts in their hearts." ”

Huang Shan didn't know why the master said this, but obviously, he didn't want to know why, what he was thinking about now was how to take the master out of this place.

"Master, none of this matters, the important thing is that the apprentice has met you, and the apprentice will take you out of this place. ”

When Xi Zhen heard Huang Shan say that he was going to take him out of here, a trace of excitement flashed on his face, but then there was a burst of loneliness and panic.

"Where can I go out of here?" Xi Zhen muttered in a low voice.

Seeing this, Huang Shan immediately rushed over, put Xi Zhen on his back and said: "From today on, the apprentice is the master's legs, as long as the master wants to go, the apprentice will carry the master on his back." ”

Xi Zhen did not resist, and in the past fifteen years, he had fantasized countless times that someone could take him out of this ghost place. But if he did leave here, he was at a loss, and he didn't know where else he could go or what else he could do. Fifteen years later, everything has changed, people have changed, should he continue to stay here as a ghost or return to the world? Maybe at this moment, he himself can't figure it out.

One foot deep and one foot shallow, Huang Shan carried Xi Zhen on his back, although it was a little difficult, but he was still very excited. Xi Zhen also subconsciously told Huangshan how to go, after all, he was most familiar with the environment here. Therefore, the two also came to the bottom of the cliff of the stream in such a tacit understanding, and Huangshan was very happy to see that the rope was still there.

"Master, you hold me tight, I'll go up together. ”

"Shan'er, I'm very happy for the teacher, it's better for you to go up first, this rope can't bear the weight of the two of us. What's more, this cliff is as high as a hundred feet, and your skills can't support you and me. ”

Facing the whispering stream, Xi Zhen muttered: "Fifteen years, if there is no this stream, I will not be here, and I will not survive." It's like an old friend of mine, and I'm really reluctant to leave now. ”

Huang Shan knew that the master had not yet thought about how to face his future life, and he didn't even know what else he could do after he went out. If he did go up first, maybe he would have stayed here.

"Then let's not go up from this side, let's walk along the cliff and find another way out, master, you say okay?"

Xi Zhen shook his head and said: "Impossible, no one is more familiar with this place than me, this cliff stretches for dozens of miles, and at the end is a higher cliff." There's rope here, and it's the best place to be right now. ”

"Master, I will tie the rope to your body, and with your arm strength and internal strength, it will be easy to climb the cliff. In any case, master, you have to go up the cliff first. ”

The reason why Huangshan asked Xi Zhen to go up the cliff first was because he was worried that if he went up first, the master would continue to stay here. So he hurriedly untied the belt on his body, tied one end to Xi Zhen's body, and tied the other end to the end of the rope.

Xi Zhen is very conflicted, he is very eager to see the light of day again, he is very eager to return to the world, but he is very afraid, he is now like a person and a ghost, what kind of face does he have?

As a last resort, Huang Shan hurriedly knelt down and said, "The apprentice asks the master to punish him." ”

Xi Zhen was surprised: "Did you do something wrong?

There are only two of them here, and there is no secret that cannot be said about it.

"Master, the apprentice has lied, but the apprentice will tell you everything now. I have another very important purpose for this westward trip. After the fire in the palace of Emperor Jianwen, your brother-in-law was not unknown in life and death, but hid in Yunnan. The apprentice's trip was ordered to go to Yunnan to protect Emperor Wen's comeback. ”

Xi Zhen's eyes suddenly lit up, his lips trembled, and he asked for a long time, "Shan'er, are you serious?"

Huang Shan wept and said: "How dare you deceive the teacher? It's just that now the emperor is sending people everywhere to find the whereabouts of your righteous brother, and his situation is even more dangerous. ”

Xi Zhen stopped talking, grabbed the rope with both hands, roared, and instantly followed the rope arrow along the cliff, and after a while, he only saw a white dot.

Half an hour later, the rope was thrown down again, and Huangshan grabbed the rope and went up.

While climbing, Huangshan imagined how he would take his master to Yunnan, and what kind of scene he would have after reuniting with Emperor Jianwen. And what kind of scene will it be when he and his sister, brother and sister reunite, all of this has been passed through in Huang Shan's mind, in short, in addition to excitement or excitement.

Approaching the top of the cliff, Huang Shan heard a burst of human voices, and his heart was shocked: "Oops, isn't it that the master and the villagers have met, if the master doesn't stop his hand, won't the villagers suffer?"

With a loud roar, Huang Shanfei also soared into the sky. Sure enough, a group of villagers held all kinds of farm tools in their hands, surrounded the master in a semicircle on the edge of the cliff, and kept shouting that they wanted to kill the master. After all, when the villagers saw Xi Zhen's strange appearance, they all thought he was a ghost at the bottom of the cliff.

Xi Zhen sat on the edge of the cliff, leisurely arranging his white hair, the villagers dared to be angry and dared to speak, and they didn't dare to go up around Xi Zhen.

Fortunately, Huangshan appeared in time, and after a burst of good words and persuasion, the villagers knew that Huangshan was the apprentice of this person who had been separated for fifteen years. Knowing that there would be no ghosts here in the future, the villagers gradually relaxed their vigilance, and they all knew that Huangshan was a chivalrous teenager, and they all dispersed after a short time.

Huangshan gave Da Niu a large ingot of silver, and asked Da Niu to find a room for him and his master, and he had to live in the village with his master for a while, and only after the master was in good health could he move forward.
