Chapter 2 Tears farewell to the teacher, stepping on the rivers and lakes, accompanied by good horses to the world
The next morning, when the snow stopped, Feng'er got up early in the morning and made breakfast, a plate of soy sauce cucumbers, a plate of cold bracken, a plate of sticky bean buns, and two bowls of polenta. Maybe it was because the old man's internal strength sword refining loss was a little big last night, and he looked a little haggard, but he was also really hungry.
Feng'er packed up, and the old man said, "Feng'er, come here." ”
"Yes, Master. Feng'er said.
"You are already 16 years old, and from today onwards, you will go down the mountain and explore the rivers and lakes! Take the world as your teacher, and go on a tour! I will teach you everything that a teacher can teach you. Traveling through the rivers and lakes and increasing your knowledge, you may realize faster, and the time to break through the fourth and fifth layers should be faster than in the mountains. ”
"Master, I can't bear to be your old man. "Thirteen years of companionship, careful teaching, and care. At the thought of parting, Feng'er's eyes couldn't help but moisten. "I'm leaving, who will accompany your old man!"
"There is no feast in the world, apprentice, you don't have to worry about being a teacher, there is still a big white and a little black for the teacher, since ten years ago, for the teacher to save them from the hunter's trap, the two of them follow me like a dog skin plaster, the two of them are very human, after you leave, the two of them will catch game and come back, and the grain in the cellar can also be eaten for five years, so you don't have to worry. Besides, don't you want to meet your parents? You've been separated for thirteen years, and they probably miss you day and night!"
Thinking of his parents, Feng'er suddenly felt familiar and unfamiliar again, in the thirteen years, the master not only taught him martial arts, but also taught him to read and write, and to be ethical. He also often taught him filial piety.
The old man then said: "After you leave, I may take the big white and the little black to walk around in the white water of this black mountain, and then come back, and after three or five years, you will come back to visit you as a teacher, or go to you for a teacher." I hope you can make a difference in the rivers and lakes, and teach you a lesson for the teacher in vain. You will go down the mountain today, I have prepared the luggage for you, as well as a hundred taels of gold ingots and scattered silver, and I will not need them here, I will help you put them in your bag. Remember, when you go through the rivers and lakes, on the surface, most of the characters in the rivers and lakes can get out of the way, except for a few hundred-year-old monsters who have lived in seclusion and don't care about the world, you should be safe, but when you encounter it, you have to be careful, do you remember?"
Feng'er nodded: "I wrote it down." ”

In this world, the top ten masters, except for one cry and three smiles, have no own power, the other eight masters have their own spheres of influence, and they are all developing secretly. Except for the three peerless doctors who saved the world in Qilu with peace of mind, everyone else is trying to accumulate strength and prepare to expand, the entire rivers and lakes are calm on the surface, but in fact, the undercurrent is turbulent, but this is the rivers and lakes. ”
Feng'er asked, "You said they were so powerful, Master, how do these people's martial arts compare to your old man?"
"Hehe, for the old man, they are all rising stars in the rivers and lakes, martial arts, they are also the top in the world, but compared to a hundred-year-old monster like me, hehe, think about it yourself!" The old man stroked his long white beard and smiled.
Then the old man got up and said: "Okay, apprentice, today is goodbye, there is a time to meet, so don't be too sad, make it like life and death, for the teacher, you should immediately take the big white and small black all over the black mountain and white water, you can prepare yourself for a while and go down the mountain! ”
After that, the old man turned around and went out of the door, with a long roar, a few ups and downs, and suddenly disappeared, and the two figures, one white and one black, also followed closely......
Feng'er was stunned in place, big tears kept falling, there was so much reluctance, so many thousand words didn't have time to say.
Thirteen years bit by bit, scene by scene in an instant, let the tears keep slipping, it is true that "the one who gave birth to me is not as good as the one who raised me", at this moment, Feng'er has mixed feelings in her heart. Suddenly, Feng'er slammed out of the door, knelt on the snow, and shouted in the direction where the master went: "Master......"
"You take care of ......". Master's voice came from afar......
Feng'er knelt on the ground for a long time, returned to the house, and entered the master's room, where a burden and the frost and fire sword were on the master's table.
Feng'er carefully cleaned the master's house, kowtowed respectfully to the master's bed three times, and then picked up the sword and went out with the burden on his back, and performed the light skill of "stepping on the snow with the wind", and rushed down the mountain, it was the first time in thirteen years to go down the mountain, and he was somewhat looking forward to it.
When I thought of seeing my parents this time down the mountain, I couldn't help but look forward to it a little more. So I quickened my pace, and after about an hour, I finally walked out of the mountains and came to the plains.
In front of us is an unknown town, it is almost noon, there are curling smoke rising, and the plum blossoms in front of and behind the houses of several houses on the side of the road are in full bloom, and the white snow and gray houses are in full bloom. Feng'er suddenly felt that the snow under the mountain was different from the beauty of the snow on the mountain. The snow on the mountain is thick and majestic, and the snow under the mountain is like a pretty lady with white snow covered with pink flowers, which is really beautiful, and I can't help but think of the poem that Master often chanted, "In the past, the snow was like a flower, and now the flowers are like snow", as if this latter sentence, for the beautiful scenery in front of you, the description is appropriate. The first time I went down the mountain, everything was so fresh and curious for Feng'er.
Xue Feng tidied up his clothes and walked towards the town, although it is a remote town in the far north, although it is a poor and cold place, but the town is still quite lively, because this town is the only town within a radius of a hundred miles to have a supply of trade, and some hunters also exchange their furs for some necessities and the like.
Xue Feng entered the town, looked at his clothes, and felt that it was time to change, so he entered a leather store. I saw that this leather inn was full of all kinds of furs, semi-finished products and finished products, all kinds of leather goods were readily available, and the boss bought the furs from the hunters to make clothes and hats and sold them.
As soon as Xue Feng entered the door, the boss immediately greeted him with a smile on his face and said, "What do you need from the guest officer?" Xue Feng said, "A coat, a hat, and a pair of boots." ”
When the boss heard this, he immediately became happy, and there were not many people who were willing to buy three pieces at once in this small area!
Xue Feng nodded and said, "Feel free, just fit it." ”
After a while, the boss walked over with a fine ferret coat, a ferret fur cap, and a pair of carved wolf leather boots. "What do you think of this, officer?"
Feng Xuefeng replied: "Very good, that's it! Boss, how much is it?"
The boss said: "The guest officer is so refreshing, the little old man doesn't shout the price, just a price, a total of eight taels and four dollars of silver." ”
Xue Feng didn't say anything, took out a silver ingot from his baggage, threw it to the boss for about ten taels and said, "No need to look for it." ”
The boss was smiling all over his face, and his heart was happy. Xue Feng asked, "Boss, I want to inquire about something, is there a horse seller nearby?"
The boss said: "Out of this street, there is a horse farm twenty miles to the east, and they are all good horses." ”
Xue Feng asked, "What's delicious in town?"
The boss replied as if he was serving his ancestors: "There is a tavern in the town called 'Drunken Ten Miles', and you can turn right when you go out." The side dishes inside are very tasty, and the guest officers can go there to sharpen them. In addition, about 200 miles to the south, you can reach Muhe City, which is the largest and most prosperous town, what you want, after lunch, the guest officer went to the horse farm to buy a horse can arrive before dark. ”
Xue Feng nodded, turned around and walked out of the leather store, turned right and walked a short distance before he saw the signboard "Drunk Ten Miles", walked straight in, found a table, sat down and said, "Shopkeeper, get a few specialty dishes, and blanch a pot of wine." The shopkeeper turned around, and in a few moments, a plate of mille-feuille butter cakes, a plate of blood sausage, a plate of fried hazelnut mushrooms, a plate of beef in sauce, and a small pot of steaming sauerkraut and white meat were served.
Xue Feng took a bite of a piece of sauced beef, and then took a bite of a piece of white meat, and suddenly felt that it was full of fragrant and delicious, and asked with great joy: "What kind of meat is this, it's so fragrant?"
The shopkeeper was a little confused, and thought to himself: I'm afraid this is not a fool! Yan said: "The cold dish is the sauce beef, the boiled white meat in the pot, oh, that is, pork." ”
Xue Feng has never eaten pork and beef since he was a child, and all he eats is venison, roe deer, roe deer meat, and beef, but this half-fat and half-lean pork is really fragrant! I remember that there was once a poem describing pork: "No bamboo makes people vulgar, no meat makes people thin, not vulgar and not thin, bamboo shoots stew pork." ”
While eating, he thought, he has eaten pork today, and he will also taste the taste of bamboo shoots when he goes to the south in the future. As he thought about it, he took a piece of butter cake and chewed it. The outside is crispy and the inside is soft, and the oil and onions are fragrant, and I suddenly remembered Su Dongpo's words to describe the cake: "The jade color is evenly rubbed by hand, and the green oil is fried to make it tender and yellow......
The shopkeeper looked at his eating appearance, as if he had seen no one in sight.
After devouring the bill, he left the town, performed light work, and headed east to the racecourse......
Twenty miles, a moment to arrive, greeted by Xue Feng's eyes is a very large horse farm, the wooden sign reads: "Feng" Ji horse farm, Xue Feng entered the horse farm, straight to the southeast stable. There are a total of three stables, and there are more than a dozen horses in each stable, at this time, an old man wearing a dogskin hat and a sheepskin jacket came over, looked Xue Feng up and down with his eyes, and after confirming that he was a person in the rivers and lakes, he clenched his fists with both hands: "Shaoxia wants to buy a horse?"
Xue Feng clasped his hands into fists and saluted back: "Yes, please introduce the old man." ”
The lambskin jacket said: "The horses here are all thirty taels of silver, the south side is fifty taels, and the north side is more than two hundred taels of silver. Although it is not a thousand-mile horse that can travel thousands of miles a day and 800 miles at night, it is also a good horse that is one in a hundred. ”
Xue Feng said: "Please take the old man to show me the horses in the north stable." ”
The sheepskin jacket took Xue Feng to the north stable, as soon as he entered the stable, Xue Feng couldn't help but sigh that it was indeed a good horse, the horses in this stable were indeed not ordinary, the horses were fat and strong, tall and mighty, and the skin was as smooth and oily as silk. The jujube red horse is extraordinary, the black horse is magnificent, and the five-flowered horse is radiant, but Feng'er has taken a fancy to a horse with a snow-white body, but four hooves are covered with black long hair, this horse stands out from the crowd in a group of good horses, and it is indeed extraordinary. But see: "Tianma came out of the moon branch cave, the back is the tiger striped dragon wing bone", the whole body is snow-white, and the four hooves are indeed covered by black and translucent long hair, which is really a god and a different species. At the moment, his expression froze, and he asked, "Dare to ask if this is the 'White Cloud Black Hoof' divine horse of the Western Regions Yuezhi Cave?"
The old man was also taken aback, and hurriedly said: "The young man has good eyesight, and he is indeed a good horse in the Western Regions." ”
Xue Feng asked, "How much silver do you want for this horse?"
The old man said: "The young man's vision is really vicious, and he fell in love with the best horse in this horse farm at a glance, but this horse is worth a lot of money." In addition, this horse is extremely difficult to raise, the general forage this horse does not like to eat, like to eat soybean meal, if not add soybean meal in the grass, this horse will not eat a mouthful. The young man can think clearly. ”
Xue Feng couldn't wait and nodded hurriedly: "You can tell me a price!"
The lambskin jacket said, "This horse costs fifty taels of gold, and a pair of saddle horses, and ten taels of gold, which are gilded." ”
Xue Feng smacked his tongue, the master gave him a total of 100 taels of gold, 300 taels of silver, and now he has to use up most of the gold, a little distressed, but he likes this horse very much in his heart, and he also knows that this horse is hard to find. At that moment, he gritted his teeth and said, "It's sixty taels, I want it." He opened his baggage, took sixty taels of gold and gave it to the sheepskin jacket, and then took an ingot of five taels of silver, and gave it to the sheepskin jacket and said, "These five taels of silver are for your old man, and I am not a sign of respect, thank you for letting me buy a beloved horse." ”
The old man hugged his fists: "Xie Shaoxia." He turned around and walked to the small room next to him and took a set of saddles, and after putting it on, he led the horse to Xue Feng's side, handed the rope to Xue Feng and said, "Shaoxia, it's yours." ”
Xue Feng was overjoyed, hurriedly took it, touched the horse's head with his hand, and said to the horse: "From now on, you will go to the rivers and lakes with me, and the end of the world will be with you." I'll treat you well, would you?"
The white horse hissed, as if he understood Xue Feng's words.
Xue Feng said again: "Just call you 'Baiyun Black Hoof'!"
The horses ploughed the ground with their hooves and neighed in return. Got it again.
Xue Feng led the horse and walked a few steps, and hugged his fist at the sheepskin jacket: "Don't leave it here, there will be a period later." "I touched the brown fur of the horse with my hand again, it was really: the white horse was decorated with gold bonds, and even the northwest land, and I asked who the family was, and the ranger was a ranger. Immediately, the figure barely moved, but it rose from the ground and fell on the horse's back as light as a feather.
The sheepskin jacket was shocked in his heart, at a young age, he was so good at light work, and he said in his heart: Compared with the big boss, Feng Ruyi is not afraid to let it be!
Xue Feng rode a white horse, but when he saw "Dragon Horse Flower Snow Hair, Golden Saddle Wuling Hao", his legs were clamped, black hooves flew, and he stepped on the snow......
