A path that is purely new to human footsteps, a wooden house built on a square inch of land, with animal skins to dry in front of the house.

The autumn is high and cool, and the white dew is frost, which is also a good time to dry bacon. On the simple stand in front of the wooden house, a crossbar was hung with the meat of all kinds of animals, birds and beasts, and even if it was night, it was not necessary to collect it.

When Ren Pingsheng saw this scene, he was in a trance for no reason.

"Who are you bringing me here to meet?" Ren Pingsheng, who came here after Wang Taizhong, suddenly asked.

Wang Taizhong was taken aback by his stiff and strange tone, "You don't have to be so nervous on a blind date, right? What's more, it was an old Orion, a man. ”

Ren Pingsheng's face changed uncertainly, and he followed very lightly.

Wang Taizhong patted the wooden door that was not sturdy very rudely. The wooden door creaked open, as if someone was waiting. With the dim light in the house, Ren Pingsheng could still see clearly, it was an old hunter with a thin face, a goatee, and a slightly rickety figure.

"Immortal Master, please come in. The old hunter greeted in a trembling voice, as if with infinite reverence in his heart, but there was no expression on his face.

Ren Pingsheng saw the man's face and figure, and suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.

It is not without benefit that some hopes, which should not be there, suddenly disappear.

The old hunter slowly took two bamboo bowls from a simple shelf, filled two bowls of freshly burned camellia, and handed them to Wang Taizhong and Ren Pingsheng respectively.

After Wang Taizhong entered the door, he didn't say a word from beginning to end, and sat down on the simple wooden bed in the middle of the room with a big grin; this kind of hospitality was a bit rude.

But Ren Pingsheng had never noticed this kind of detail at all, and from outside the house to inside the house, his eyes had been carefully studying everything around him. At last, his gaze fell on the old hunter who had never looked at him squarely.

Ren Pingsheng put the bamboo bowl to his mouth and was about to drink tea, when suddenly his brows furrowed, he put down the tea bowl, stared at the hunter's face with two sharp eyes, and said, "You are Chen Sicheng." ”

The old hunter was flustered for a while, his eyes quickly glanced at the two of them, and finally sighed and straightened up, "Even this little brother can't hide it, hey, I'm Chen Sicheng, don't expect to have a way to live in Xiqiao Mountain." ”

After sighing for a while, Chen Sicheng seemed quite unconvinced, and asked, "It's all like this, how can you still see it?"

Ren Pingsheng said lightly, "As long as you are still a living person, I can recognize you when you turn into ashes." ”

Wang Taizhong, who had been refusing to speak, choked on a sip of tea, and hurriedly wiped his mouth and said, "This bullshit doesn't make sense." ”

Ren Pingsheng glanced at him, too lazy to talk.

I don't understand rhetoric, I dare to be affectionate, there must be a teacher, there must be an apprentice, no wonder the female cultivators of Wugong Mountain don't like your disciples of Slender Horse Mountain.

Chen Sicheng looked like he had no love in his life, and finally bowed deeply to Wang Taizhong, made up for the gift of meeting the elders, and said with a sad expression: "Thank you, uncle, for accepting me, a person who has violated both the sect and the Tao." The life of an ant, life and death are nothing. I just hope that Uncle Shi and this little brother can successfully get which Fly-winged Silkworm and save Uncle Xiao. ”

Wang Taizhong took a big sip of tea very comfortably, and said slowly: "You Chen Sicheng and this kid have met, you can't hide this kid, it's strange? It's a failure? Then I, the senior uncle who has never met him, was recognized by him in three moves and two ways, and ended up in front of your little uncle, and ran away.

Chen Sicheng was dumbfounded and muttered, "This little ...... Brother, really even Uncle Wang can see it?"

Wang Taizhong cooed and cooed,

poured the bowl of hot tea down his throat in one go, let out a long sigh, and said to Chen Sicheng: "This kid looks at people and things, and he is a little weird. There are some things, even if it is the sect master, I am afraid that it will not be able to do it. ”

He turned his head and raised his chin at Ren Pingsheng, "Boy, you say, with a strange talent, you don't devote yourself to the right path, mysterious, what kind of person is Qinggao?"

Ren Pingsheng smiled strangely, "Dare to ask Uncle Taizhong, what is the right way? Why don't you show the way to the old man?"

Wang Taizhong pointed to the low roof, "Xuanhuang world, of course, it is the rules set by God, and it is the right way." The Taiyi Sect is governed by the will of Heaven and educates all the people, which is the way for Heaven. Of course, this is a big deal, as long as you have the sincerity of being loyal to the Taoist and abiding by the Tao, it is actually enough. Don't look at my Wang Taizhong's appearance, judging people by their appearance; to tell the truth, there are Taoist believers all over the world, and there are very few people who can go to any branch of Xiqiao Mountain to be a registered disciple. ”

Wang Taizhong suddenly felt that there was something wrong with his words, and he made up for it: "Even if you judge people by their appearance, what is it, I, Wang Taizhong, am not rough, crazy people outside the world, and in the rivers and lakes, isn't it also a chivalrous fairy?"

Ren Pingsheng asked rhetorically: "Since the rules are all set by God, there are natural and man-made disasters in the world, there are young people who are orphaned, there are hungry people, there are bullies who bully the weak, bullying men and women, you God, all know?"

Wang Taizhong's face was angry, but he finally held back and didn't have a seizure, and said with a serious expression: "So you need us to do the right thing for heaven." Whether you want to do a good job or not is not the same thing. If you always want to do well, you will be fine one day, and if you don't do it well, you don't even want to think about it, which is a regret in life. Let's not take the avenue as an example, let's just talk about ordinary people, do you say this is the reason?"

Ren Pingsheng was in no mood to tell this middle-aged man who didn't know how many years he had lived, the key was that he couldn't talk about it, but he muttered unconvinced, "If you don't join the Taiyi Sect, you don't necessarily want to do it." ”

Wang Taizhong's eyes were firmly fixed on the young man's immature face, as if he wanted to use his sharp eyes to dig out the old soul from under the childish appearance, and see what it looked like.

Ren Pingsheng looked indifferent and kept silent.

In the young man's mind, although Wang Taizhong is a person who is taught by Taiyi, he is also a somewhat interesting person. He didn't want to get into the horns of an interesting person.

Chen Sicheng was stunned to the side, not a person left and right.

Wang Taizhong waved his hand, and said with a smile, "Forget it, let's get down to business first." ”

It's just that he immediately pointed at Ren Pingsheng and said, "Boy, the coming day will be long." Don't you still owe me a drink, although I don't like to owe favors to juniors, but after all, it's not a good hospitality. It's not good to chill the young man's mind. When do you have an idea, I'll tell Uncle Taizhong directly. ”

Ren Pingsheng was full of slander, and people who dared to love the world begged his grandfather and grandmother to invite him Wang Taizhong to drink.

Chen Sicheng nodded on the side, but he never dared to interrupt his uncle's major event of preaching and receiving employment from the juniors.

Wang Taizhong glanced at him, "It's time for you to speak." ”

Chen Sicheng turned his face in fear at this time, and said to Ren Pingsheng: "That Hu Da...... Mr. Hu Jiu, I said that I know that you were ...... Sect Master, please go up the mountain, let me give you a message, say that this place is only you can find. ”

Ren Pingsheng was stunned and said, "Where is it?"

Chen Sicheng said: "He didn't say anything, just said something weird, Mr. Hu said, it was under his situation at that time, his thinking was like a spring, and he wrote two poems, and I also memorized it several times to ensure that every word was missed, and then left." 'There was a nameless fire in front of the tent, and a pair of raccoon-clothed people in the water. The yellow sheep is a confused life, and the young man is confused'. Just a few words, he said

If you don't know the place, think about it. ”

Ren Pingsheng's face suddenly turned red, in the place where the yellow sheep was roasted on a bonfire in the wilderness, there was a jade man who was naked, cruising like a spirit fish in the river, which caused the young man to be confused. Unexpectedly, under the precautions of his own thousands, he was still followed all the way by an old and unserious man.

It's not surprising, isn't that the Sect Master of Xiqiao Mountain also waiting for himself to fall into the net by the lake?

There are rivers and lakes of thieves and Taoist priests, and the water is very deep.

Chen Sicheng saw that his expression was different, and he didn't know the bottom of his heart, so he hurriedly asked: "This little brother, have you thought about the place clearly?" I shouldn't be wrong in these few words. ”

Ren Pingsheng took a few deep breaths, took a few more breaths, and said, "Got it." ”

Chen Sicheng looked at Wang Taizhong with an inquiring look, and stopped talking.

Wang Taizhong waved his hand happily and said, "Let this kid take someone by himself, don't add to it." It is estimated that as long as we Xiqiao Mountain people follow, even if we find a place, we will definitely not be able to find Hu Jiu. Otherwise, we would have found him a long time ago. ”

Ren Pingsheng nodded silently and said, "Since this is the case, I will not leave you the slightest trace." ”

Wang Taizhong nodded in agreement, but turned his head, looked at Chen Sicheng with a serious face, and said, "You seem to admire the surnamed Hu?"

Chen Sicheng was embarrassed, but he bowed his head and did not speak.

Wang Taizhong said: "If you don't speak, you just acquiesce." Very good, the people of Xiqiao Mountain, dare to do it, dare to think, and should dare to admit it. People have a life-saving grace for you, whether he is a thief or a gentleman, one yard is one yard. If you, Chen Sicheng, are ungrateful because of the other party's background, then it is the real sin and deserves death. ”

Chen Sicheng looked up at the unkempt uncle, his face full of gratitude.

Wang Taizhong continued: "During this time, you can only continue to hide from everyone, I believe you can still stand this grievance." As for this matter, I will personally tell Senior Brother Tai Yu about you, if he can't see him, then it should make sense for you to switch to the disciple of Slender Horse Mountain and become a disciple. ”

Chen Sicheng knelt down and kowtowed to this Wang Taizhong again and again; he was speechless, but he didn't know where to start. This hunter-born man, since he was rescued by Hu Jiu and healed his injuries, he felt that his fate with the Taiyi Sect should have come to an end. Whether he will be arrested by Taoists on the charge of befriending bandits in the future, it is also said.

Later, he was willing to secretly send a message to Uncle Wang for Hu Jiu, in exchange for the freedom of Ren Pingsheng and Li Xilian, in exchange for which dragonfly silkworm. Chen Sicheng knew that after doing this, even if the Zhanglutang lit the sky lantern with him, there was nowhere to reason. Being able to live quietly in this world under the rule of the Taiyi Sect is already Chen Sicheng's greatest wish, where would he have the opportunity to return to the sect, let alone turn from an insignificant named disciple to a disciple of the Great Dao!

Wang Taizhong asked Chen Sicheng to get up, turned his head to Ren Pingsheng and said: "Please tell Hu Jiu, although the Tao is not the same, but after this incident, no matter whether my little junior sister's injury can be healed or not, I, Wang Taizhong, owe him a favor." ”

Ren Pingsheng nodded silently and left.

The dignified sect master of Xiqiao Mountain, in order to save his daughter, was so helpless that he wanted to plan a kidnapping with outsiders that damaged the face of the sect.

At that time, Cheng Mojin also said that the only disciple he could fully trust was Wang Taizhong.

It seems that the old sect master has entrusted him with his own people.
