No return to the mountainside, the slope is slightly gentle, there are rolling vast meadows, and herds of cattle and sheep. A few large white tents were scattered among the vast yellow grasses, and on the meadows, three or five herdsmen, riding some kind of four-legged monster, rushed and leaped, and their long whips fluttered.

However, as soon as the herdsmen saw a white-haired monster as big as a hill approaching in the distance, they first made a commotion, and rode around on horseback, driving away cattle and sheep, as if they were ready to escape.

When they saw the white-haired monster, they were actually playing with five young men, both big and small, talking and laughing, and the herdsmen settled down, but everyone had bows and arrows in their hands and were on strict guard.

Five foreign boys, a white ape with a shocking size, looked at the peaceful and cheerful scene on the meadow, and were leisurely fascinated.

They came down from the icy and snowy land of Yuyao Peak in the Mountain of No Return, and walked for five days before they reached this meadow. On the Mountain of No Return, I have never seen such a vast and boundless world. The eye is looking beyond the lower forest in the distance, looking at the vast land, and the skyline on the horizon is straight and straight.

On the hill of no return, high on all sides, no one has ever seen the skyline.

Everyone was very curious, looking left and right, dizzying. Only Ren Pingsheng always felt that there was something wrong - shouldn't the skyline be arc-shaped?

The sprouts scurried around, looking here and there, touching everywhere, but as soon as they tried to get close to the monsters that were ridden, they would run away with great speed.

The bud cub was so shocked that he shouted, "Senior brother, look at what kind of monster is riding under someone's ass." ”

Ren Pingsheng has never seen such a world, and of course he has never seen those "monsters", but everything seems familiar, "Horse, in my impression, horses are like this." ”

"It's a horse, I've seen it in the school's "Ru Mao Collection" picture book. Ren Chang continued, "It's just a real thing, and it's the first time I've seen it." ”

Ren Chongdao, like Ren Changji, is well-read, and naturally has read "Ru Mao Ji", but Ren Pingsheng, who is illiterate, actually knows that there are horses in the world, and the other two are secretly surprised.

"If only we could get one each of us to ride, how awe-stricken!" said the bud cub leisurely.

"This thing, isn't it cheap, is it?" When Huzi can talk, he usually doesn't miss the opportunity to talk to the bud cub.

"Huzi, I've decided, I'll discuss it with my father when I go back, if you really want to marry my sister Tingyu in the future, you have to have two horses as a dowry." The bud cub said, "I'm one, my dad is one." ”

Ren Chongdao smiled dumbly, "You think it's your old buffalo, two." Horses are about horses, you know, two horses. ”

Huzi's chest snapped, "Little meaning, wander for two or three years, and when I become famous, I will buy a few horses on the way back, and both male and female must have them." After riding on the mountain, we will raise horses and sell horses as a business, big horses give birth to ponies, ponies raise ponies, and give birth to ponies; obediently, it is difficult to get rich or not. ”

Ren Changji couldn't help laughing, and sneered: "Huzi, are you deliberately lusting about yourself and who is the stallion mare? Or are you really so simple, thinking about the horse?"

The bud cub looked suspicious and glanced at the tiger, but the big man, sure enough, had a ghost in his heart, and his face was flushed.

......

The strange thing is that since he stepped down the snow line, Ren Pingsheng's words have become less.

When the junior brothers who were chattering non-stop began to come back to their senses, they found that the senior brother and the white ape had fallen far away. The bud cub shouted a few times, "Senior brother, keep up with ......."

Ren Pingsheng waved his hand casually and didn't pay much attention to it. The people in front of them all stopped, sitting or lying on the soft meadow, leaning on their backs, waiting for the one person and one ape to catch up.

Ren Pingsheng came over and sat down on a piece of land, "I explained to Dabai, he is a strange beast and a demon cultivator, he is far away from the rivers and lakes, and it is inconvenient to walk in the world after all." I think that under the meadow, there are still high mountains and dense forests, stretching for thousands of miles, and it would be more appropriate for Dabai to stay here to live and practice. One is not easy to attract monks to hunt, and it will not frighten the common people. ”

Several junior disciples have been getting along with Dabai for a few days, and they have long been familiar with each other, although they are reluctant, but what Ren Pingsheng said is indeed reasonable. The bud cub couldn't help but run over, pulling the long white hair and climbing up to his shoulder. As a result, Da Bai reached out and grabbed it, lifted the whole person, and put it firmly on his shoulder.

Ren Changji said: "Senior brother, before going out, my grandfather gave me a very old map of Qingping Prefecture, which is said to be an antiquity from 500 years ago. Nowadays, after several vicissitudes, the situation has changed a lot. But after we descended to the foot of the mountain, we went all the way to the east, and the nearest city was Luxu City, fifty miles away. It is a big city within a radius of 100 miles, and the address of this state city is estimated to not change much. ”

Ren Zhongdao said, "In my opinion, after going down the mountain, you will go incognito and go to Luxu City; a big place, it is easy to gain a foothold, but it is not easy to attract attention. When a man is alive, there should be a place to stand. At that point, the strength of the five of us, the way of martial arts, or the academic study of science and mathematics, should be enough to stand on their own. ”

Speaking of this kind of thing, the bud cub could not interject, and I did not know whether Huzi took into account his feelings, or whether he intended to be close, so he always stood at the feet of the white ape, and amused him silently.

"Huzi, what do you think?" Ren Pingsheng did not say anything, but turned his head to Huzi and said.

"Ah, me?" Huzi coughed dryly, "You will decide on this kind of big thing, anyway, I will make a strong contribution, and I will not delay it." ”

The bud cub sat on the shoulder of the white ape, and his expression was not very good, but when he heard that he was going to enter the city, he was mixed with joy. Happily, I have grown so big, I have never seen a prosperous capital, and it must be very lively. The worry is, will the people in the big city be very fierce?

On the Mountain of No Return, the most lively place he has ever seen is the Shanghezhai Market. Even if it was such a small market, if it weren't for the great power of the senior brother back then, there would have always been a fierce and vicious Xiangxingtang Fucha, and he was rampant.

Ren Pingsheng's gaze swept over everyone's faces, and knowing that everyone had no objections, he spoke: "That's fine, here, the bud cub is the youngest, and it depends on you to take care of it." Since Huzi is determined to be someone's brother-in-law, this matter is even more obligatory. ”

When the bud cub heard the words of the senior brother, there was something strange about it, and shouted: "Senior brother, how can you say that you are right; Besides, I'm younger, and when did I get worse than you?"

Ren Pingsheng laughed and didn't bother to pay attention to it. Ren Chongdao was thoughtful, and he could hear Ren Pingsheng's entrustment clearly, "Senior brother, we came out with just five people, do you plan to join us?" ”

Ren Pingsheng said, "I'm either a hunter or a blacksmith, and I can't help you if I go to that kind of prosperous place, and you can't help me." What's more, I still have something to do, and I can't think about making a big deal about it for the time being. ”

"Senior brother, what else should I do with you?" said the bud cub with a rare sad face, "No matter what, I can still help with lighting a fire and cooking." ”

"Besides, I haven't learned the sword from my master yet. You have to continue teaching this for Master. ”

Ren Pingsheng said: "I am quite good at beating and killing people, but as for teaching people, I can't." Are you sure you want to follow me?"

The little face of the bud cub raised, "Then I will work with the senior brother to kill people and set fires." You're in charge of killing people in front, and I'm in charge of picking things up in the back. ”

It seems that murder and robbery are as simple as his usual eating, drinking, crying and splashing.

Ren Pingsheng smiled, "Okay, you follow them first, and when you finish practicing swordsmanship, you can protect yourself, and I'll come to you for help." ”

Ren Changji, who had been silent, finally spoke: "The road down the mountain, it is estimated that you will have to walk for two or three days, why don't you consider it along the way?"

Ren Pingsheng shook his head, "You go down the mountain to the east, and I'm going to the northwest." Save yourself from taking the wrong road. When I'm done, I'll naturally go to Luxu to find you. It's just one month or two months, or a year or two, I can't say. ”

Ren Changji nodded silently. To be honest, although he had already joined the hunter Ren Qiang's disciple two years ago, there has not been much common topic between the children of the academy and the senior brother Ren Pingsheng. Even if it is a mountaineering team formed later, Ren Chang and Ren Zhong are self-contained. Ren Pingsheng and Bud Cub are more compatible. And Huzi is a wall-to-wall grass, although he was born in a school and has bud cubs to stick to him left and right, he has a similar relationship with both parties.

So with the tiger here, the bud cub followed them, and Ren Pingsheng was a lot more relieved. In addition, if Ren Pingsheng wants to leave them, there is indeed something to do, and he must do it alone.

After everything was explained, everyone hadn't reacted yet, but they saw that Ren Ping was already clasping his fists with both hands, turned to several junior disciples and Dabai Tuantuan, and said, "In this way, there will be a period later." ”

The bud cub was dumbfounded, and the big white was cute and cute, and he didn't know what to do. Ren Changji and Ren Zhongdao, reacted quickly, and were about to clench their fists and say something. But seeing Ren Pingsheng's figure flashing, a gray shadow swept across the vast meadow in front of him, and after a few ups and downs, he disappeared into the reckless mountains.

On the eve of parting, after Ren Qiang explained the matter of the Protector Army mountaineering to the whole clan in the Xingzhi School, he and the patriarch Ren Jingfang, the father and son of the school, and agreed on a countermeasure in public. At this time, facing the danger of extinction, every family, whether rich or poor, concentrated money and goods. Women and children are elderly, scattered to more than 200 villages in the entire territory, or join relatives, or bribe with money, seek credible homes to take them in, and treat them as family members every day.

There were more than 200 other young and strong men who were still ready to fight, Ren Qiang, Ren Chongshan, and Gao Laobin each led one and hid in the mountains to prepare for war; they did not clash head-on with the Guardian Army.

The three teams were appointed and repatriated in a unified manner.

After everything was arranged, Ren Qiang's father and son returned home, and in the dead of night, they secretly explained to Ren Pingsheng: "After going down the mountain, I will part ways with my junior brothers." They should make a living from their foothold, and you, on your own, go somewhere and find something. ”

Ren Pingsheng didn't plan to go down the mountain, but he was still entangled with Ren Changji, and his father's explanation was right in the middle. But he felt that what his father said was quite strange, "Dad, you haven't gone down the mountain yourself, how do you know where else to get anything?"

Ren Qiang's eyes were deep, he looked at him and said, "Some things, as long as they are still on the mountain, the less people know, the better." But now that you're going down the mountain, it's time to give you an account. All the way to the northwest, after passing through the two states of Jingping and Guangxin, at the junction of Guangxin and Ganlanzhou, there is a mountain range that stretches for thousands of miles, called Savage Mountain. Over the Savage Mountain, just on the edge of the mountain, there is an isolated village, called Lijiazhuang, which belongs to Anqi City, Ganlanzhou. ”

Ren Pingsheng took out a pen and paper and silently remembered that in the past two years, he has learned to practice Fu Tao with the second master, and he writes very fast. Although the cultivation of Fu Dao is not worth mentioning, the style of calligraphy has become a must.

Ren Qiang continued to explain: "Although the surname of Li Jiazhuang is Li, it is actually another line of the Ren family hundreds of years ago, changing its name and surname, and gaining a foothold in the Savage Mountains. At that time, the Ren family was divided into two branches, one of which stayed in Lijiazhuang to preserve the sword grinding stone 'Panlong Tendon' of the Sorrowful Heaven Sword, and the other branch was the branch of Si'an Village on the Mountain of No Return, which kept the Sorrowful Heaven Sword Strip. ”

"Only by using the Coiling Dragon Tendon Strange Stone that has been formed when heaven and earth are not divided, can the Sorrowful Heaven Sword be sharpened into a sharp blade. ”

Ren Pingsheng interjected and asked: "When you asked me to worship Yuan Da Hammer as a teacher, it was so that in the future, I could find the dragon tendon to sharpen my sword by myself?"

Ren Qiang said: "Yes." ”

Ren Pingsheng said: "Then when I go to Lijiazhuang, who will I look for? How can I win the trust of others and prove that I am a descendant of the Ren family? They may not recognize the broken sword I am carrying is the Sorrowful Heavenly Sword." ”

Ren Qiang smiled with a strange expression, "When I found the Li family patriarch, I said that you had an old relationship with the owner of the 'Powerful Martial Arts Pavilion' and were entrusted by him." ”

"What?" Ren Pingsheng almost couldn't believe his ears, Jia Bancong, whom he had always regarded as a great enemy, could it be that he was actually a person sent by the "Li family"? What's more, the "Powerful Martial Arts Gym" had only been open for two years, and no one knew that it would not return to the mountain; but when he got to the bottom of the mountain, who knew?

Ren Qiang said: "Don't ask why; However, this matter shall not be preached to the six ears again. ”

After a pause, Ren Qiang sighed and said, "If you have a chance in the future, you will return to the Mountain of No Return." If you can't find me, you can secretly go to Jia Bancong's little disciple, Li Wuyi. ”

......

Ren Pingsheng has the secrecy of the two ethnic groups of the Ren family, and if he is not careful, he may leak a word or a word, and he may bring the disaster of exterminating the clan to Li Jiazhuang, who is hidden in the savage mountain. Therefore, after going down the mountain, he naturally has less contact with acquaintances, the safer it is.
