Wang Xue took Zhao Xiaocao, Hu Xiaochen, and Chang Long over the two mountains in one go, and now they have arrived in Fujian. Wang Xue looked up at the sky and said, "The enemy is not chasing, let's rest here, the sky is almost dawn." Zhao Xiaocao and Chang Long were injured, and they ran away for most of the night, and they couldn't support it anymore, Wang Xue said to rest, and the two of them sat on the grass with their butts, and they didn't bother to move.

Hu Xiaochen grew up doing farm work since he was a child, his body is strong, and he is not seriously injured, he runs away for most of the night, and he doesn't feel how tired, he walked to Wang Xue's side, made a deep sigh, and said: "Junior Hu Xiaochen, thank you Master Wang Xue for your life." Zhao Xiaocao said: "Master, his name is Hu Xiaochen, and he is my fellow countryman. Wang Xue saw that although Hu Xiaochen was dressed as a farmer, he spoke politely, and was quite happy with the big boy, and said, "Children don't have to be polite. Zhao Xiaocao said: "Master, Hu Xiaochen's family was also killed by the bandits, he was about to avenge his family, my parents were also killed by the bandits, I also want to find the bandits for revenge, you made a feud with the bandits last night, and you have to think of a solution, in my opinion, the three of us can be each other's companions and join forces to eliminate the enemy." Wang Xue snorted, thinking in her heart that Hu Xiaochen's martial arts were not weak, if he could help him, there would be a little more hope for killing the bandits. Hu Xiaochen said: "Master Wang Xue, that gang of thieves is extremely vicious, I have seen them kill the old and weak women and children with my own eyes, and everyone in the rivers and lakes says that you are a chivalrous heroine, you can help us." As he spoke, he knelt down and kowtowed to Wang Xue. Wang Xue saw that Hu Xiaochen was polite and saved Zhao Xiaocao's life, and originally had the idea of accepting him as an apprentice, but when she saw Hu Xiaochen kneeling and kowtowing, she said: "I just want to accept a boy as an apprentice, accept you as an apprentice today, and from now on, our master and apprentice will join forces to fight against the bandits." When Hu Xiaochen heard this, he was overjoyed, and kowtowed to Wang Xue a few times one after another.

Zhao Xiaocao took the opportunity to say to Chang Long: "You also saved my life, my master must also like you very much, you quickly learn from Hu Xiaochen, and quickly kowtow to my master." I have you two junior brothers, that's great!" Chang Long is a son of a rich family, he has never been in the rivers and lakes before, although Wang Xue's reputation is loud in the rivers and lakes, Chang Long has never heard of it, at this moment I heard Zhao Xiaocao say that he wanted to kowtow to his own teacher, he couldn't help but be displeased, and thought: "I am a big man, you actually want me to kowtow to a woman!" After all, he is young and will not be tactful, when he said: "A man has gold under his knees, how can he easily kowtow to others?" Zhao Xiaocao said: " You have seen my master's martial arts, and if you want to kowtow to her and worship her master, that is the blessing you cultivated in your previous life, can you still be wronged?" Chang Long Shi saw Wang Xue defeat Huang Qiangfeng, knowing that Wang Xue was far above himself whether it was scheming or martial arts courage, and he had already admired Wang Xue in his heart, but he was a young master and had only been flattered by others since he was a child, and he wanted him to speak out to flatter Wang Xue, he couldn't do it, but he was a martial arts person, and when he saw Wang Xue's martial arts, he wished he could learn a few tricks from Wang Xue, thought about it, and said: "Wang Xue's predecessor is a martial arts master, hoeing the strong and helping the weak, Respected, I would appreciate it if you would teach me a few kung fu, but if you asked me to kowtow, I couldn't. These words are actually currying favor with Wang Xue. Wang Xue smiled lightly and said, "What a backbone little boy, if you have time in the future, come to me, when I teach Xiaocao and Hu Xiaochen martial arts, I will also pass on your martial arts." Chang Long was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly said: "I have time, I have time." My father and mother do some business in the county on weekdays, and they don't care much about me, except for the New Year's festival and I have to go home, I can stay with Master Wang Xue for the rest of the time. Zhao Xiaocao pretended to cough a few times and said, "What, arrogant junior brother, you finally changed your name to Master?" Chang Long blushed, turned his head and stopped talking.

Wang Xue said to Hu Xiaochen and Chang Long: "Since you worship me as a teacher, I have to explain my martial arts master to you." I was originally a descendant of Jiangnan Wangjiaquan, and later in the northern Bozi Town, I joined Liu Yue's sect under the Haba Gate, and followed Liu Zhang's teaching to learn Haba art. Haba technique is not allowed by Liu Zhangjiao, I dare not teach it at will, you practice martial arts with me, and from today I will pass on your Wang family boxing skills. Hu and Chang thanked Wang Xue in unison. Wang Xue said again: "I came to Yiwei Mountain in Fujian this time, originally I came to visit Zhao Xiaocao, but I didn't want to bump into the robbery of the bandits, so I helped Zhao Xiaocao to get rid of the bandits while teaching martial arts." When you follow me, you must always be on guard against bandits, and it is inevitable that you will fight, bleed, and even lose your life, and I must explain this verse to you in advance. If you love your life and want to live a few more years, then you don't have to follow me, find a peaceful place to live for the time being, and I will go to you to teach you martial arts when I have time. Hu Xiaochen laughed and said: "Master Wang Xue, you look down on me as a little apprentice when you say this, I don't know how many times I have fought with the gang of bandits of the Black Spirit Gang, and I can be regarded as a person who rolled from the tip of the knife, I have long looked down on the matter of bleeding and injury, if I can repel the bandits and keep the villagers safe, why worry about giving my life?" Wang Xue praised: "You are really a good boy." Chang Long's face sank, picked up the green sword placed beside him, got up and walked to the side of the path. Wang Xue thought that Chang Long was afraid of death and was unwilling to stay by his side to fight the bandits, and thought: "The children of rich families are a little less bloody, and they can't compare to the children of the rivers and lakes." Zhao Xiaocao scolded in a low voice: "Coward, greedy for life and afraid of death!" Chang Long walked to the path, suddenly pulled out the green sword, stabbed a few times, turned the head of the sword, pointed to the west, and shouted: "Daddy, Mom, the child will follow Master Wang Xue to kill the thieves and protect the people from today onwards, and the child will become a big hero!" Master Wang Xue, I have been following you since today. Wang Xue lowered her head and smiled, thinking, "It's really a child." ”

In the afternoon, the four of them then walked south and came to the foot of Yiwei Mountain. Yi Weishan was the head of Habamen in the past, but Liu Yue and the disciples of Habamen had no fixed place, Yi Weishan was empty, and now it is a cottage for the bandits, Wang Xue looked up at the peak, and felt quite uncomfortable, thinking: "If my Senior Brother Xiao and Senior Brother Liu know about this, no matter how high your martial arts and power are, you will have to suffer some hardships." Wang Xue said: "Let's build a camp on the hill on the other side of the village, and stay for the time being, first, the mountain is steep, even if the bandits know where we live, it is difficult to attack for a while, and secondly, the place where we live is not far from the village, if the bandits go down the mountain to rob, we can also save each other in time, killing two birds with one stone." Hu Xiaochen said with a smile: "Kill three birds with one stone, my house was burned down by thieves before I lived under the mountain, the mountain over there is called Bird and Beast Mountain, as the name suggests, it means that there are many birds and beasts on the mountain, I often went to the mountain to hunt when I was young, there are two mountain springs on the mountain, let's go to the mountain to live, don't worry about eating and drinking." ”

The four of them immediately went up to the Bird and Beast Mountain and built thatched huts and straw huts in a hidden open space next to the peak. Hu Xiaochen grew up in the village, and since he was a child, he has helped adults cut down trees and build houses, and it is natural to build thatched huts. Although Wang Xue and Zhao Xiaocao are women, they are used to being lonely and poor, and they can do any coolie, and they are not inferior to Hu Xiaochen by braiding ropes and moving trees. Only Changlong has been pampered since he was a child, and he doesn't know how to build a grass hut at all, but he has a tough temperament and doesn't want to be laughed at by Zhao Xiaocao and others, so he pulled out his green sword and walked not far away to help cut trees and pull grass.

Chang Long didn't know the flowers and plants, and he didn't know what kind of trees to cut, so he thought in his heart: "In the book, it is said that the peeling must be restored, or the extreme must be Tai, and the principle of circulation will not be reduced." I choose trees that are not thick or thin to cut around the mouth of the bowl to ensure that there is no hindrance. I, Chang Long, am really a genius. When he had gone down the hill for a short time, he saw that there were trees with thick mouths on both sides of the path, so he went into the woods, and swung his sword to cut them, but he slashed at a tree a dozen times in one breath, and the trunk was only cut in half, and was not cut off. Chang Long became anxious, and thought to himself: "I, Chang Long, am a genius who reads poetry and books, and I don't know how to build a thatched house, so why can't I even do this little thing of cutting trees and pulling weeds?" waved the green sword and slashed at the tree twice. At this time, most of the trunk of the tree had been cut down, and he only needed to push it down with a gentle push of his hand, but Chang Long was so strong that he had to use his sword to cut it, and he had shallow internal force on his arm, and he shouted, and the blade of the sword slashed towards the trunk, which finally cut down the tree that was not thick or thin.

Rao is Changlong is strong by nature, and at this time he was finally too tired to bear it, and shouted to the hillside: "I cut down a tree, how much more do you have to cut?" Hu Xiaochen was laying the foundation, Wang Xue and Zhao Xiaocao were rubbing the grass rope, hearing Chang Long shouting, Zhao Xiaocao replied: "You cut down a dozen more trees first to see if it is enough, if it is not enough, you will cut it again." Chang Long was furious when he heard this, threw down the green sword in his hand, sat on the ground, and muttered in a low voice: "You are going to fucking exhaust Lao Tzu." He is usually crepe, but at this time he is anxious, and he can say any foul language.

Chang Long's foul words were extremely light, but Wang Xue's internal skills were exquisite, but he heard it clearly, and said to Zhao Xiaocao: "You rub the rope yourself first, and I'll go over and take a look." He got up and walked to Chang Long's side, and took out a handkerchief from his arms to wipe the sweat from Chang Long's face. Chang Long looked decadent and tired, and said: "Master Wang Xue, it is said that it is useless to be a scholar, I can be regarded as a teacher today, I can't beat the bandits in a fight, I can't compare to Hu Xiaochen in making ropes and building a house, and I can't even do such a hard job as cutting down trees." Wang Xue smiled lightly, stretched out her hand and stroked the top of Chang Long's head, and said: "People, it's all like this, everyone is happy, Hu Xiaochen's ability to build a grass house is indeed better than yours, but when it comes to reading and writing, even Master and I are not your opponent." Chang Long said angrily: "What's the use of knowing how to read and write? I can't beat off the thieves with a pen alone, and I can't build a grass hut with a pile of broken books alone." Wang Xue said: "Who said it was useless, in the past, among the Haba Gate, only my Senior Brother Liu was full of poetry and books, and the rest of the senior brothers and sisters were all rough people with no ink, Senior Brother Liu was resourceful and gentle, and we all liked him very much." ”

Wang Xue bent down and picked up the green sword that Chang Long threw to the ground, held the sword in his left hand, and gently tried the blade with the index finger of his right hand. Chang Long saw that Wang Xue was looking at his green sword, and said, "This sword is the best, no matter how many years have passed, it will not rust." Wang Xue snorted, put the sword in front of her eyes and examined it carefully, and asked, "Where did you get this sword from?" Chang Long said: "I don't know." Wang Xue said: "I don't know? Could it be that you stole it." Chang Long said: "What a despicable thing to steal, how can we scholars do it? Master Wang Xue must not make this joke again." This green sword is an ancestral heirloom of my family, I have seen it since I was a child, I heard that my father and my grandfather have seen this sword since childhood, but I don't know where this sword came to my house in the first place. Wang Xue said: "The sword is a good sword, but this sword has never been bladed, and it is difficult to even cut tofu, let alone cut trees." Chang Long said: "Impossible, this is the best sword of my family's ancestors, how can it not even be sharpened?" Wang Xue said: "This is indeed a good sword, but this sword can only be used for ornamental play, but it cannot be used to kill the enemy." To put it bluntly, this sword is for singers and singers to dance, not for heroes and heroes. Do you think, if this sword had been opened, it would have been used for many years of competition, from your grandfather to you, for fifty or sixty years, and that it would have been so well protected that it had been as well as a freshly polished one? As he spoke, he returned the green sword to the scabbard and handed the sword to Chang Long. Chang Long took the sword, faintly felt that what Wang Xue said was indeed reasonable, thinking that his father and grandfather were both martial arts lovers, and they practiced sword swords on weekdays but never made this family heirloom sword, at that time, it was only said that the ancestral sword was the most treasure, and it could not be easily unsheathed. Wang Xue said: "This green sword is indeed very good-looking, but it is useless for us to go to the rivers and lakes to ask for these flashy objects, you can't cut down the tree, not because you are not capable enough, but because your blade is different." ”

Chang Long's family is rich, what strange antique things have, but he is a person who practices martial arts, and only the ancestral green sword is visible, and he is often proud of it, and when he meets people, he will show that his ancestral sword is as sharp as clay, and his hair can be broken. I can't cut down the tree, it's because my own kung fu is not enough, but it doesn't mean that my family's green sword is useless. Wang Xue said: "If you are a senior master, then you don't need a blade, you can break the trunk with your palm power alone, then again, if you really have this skill, you are already a rare master in the world, why do you need to worship me as a teacher, you should go to worship Erlang Zhenjun or the third prince of Nezha as a teacher." Chang Long gently stroked the sword and remained silent.

Wang Xue took out a token from her arms, handed it to Chang Long, and said: "You use my token to cut down the tree, my token is sharp, and you will be able to cut the tree before dark, you have to be careful when you use it, don't scratch your hands." Chang Long saw that Wang Xue's token was flat and shaped like a knot, only the tip of the card had a blade, and saw that the token was all dark and black, as if it was rusty, and he thought that it would not be a sharp blade for cutting trees, and said in his heart: "No matter how blunt my family heirloom green sword is, it is ten times stronger than your broken copper and broken iron." He didn't know that Wang Xue's token was actually a rare weapon in the world. Wang Xue said: "Are you really not going to take my token?" said and turned around suddenly, and the token casually slashed at a tree behind him, and the tree was broken. Chang Long was taken aback, and came to inspect the fracture of the tree, and saw that the fracture was very smooth, and Wang Xue's token blade was really the first blade in the world. Wang Xue threw the token in front of Chang Long and said, "Hurry up, don't be lazy, Hu Xiaochen is waiting." After that, he turned around and went back to rub the rope with Zhao Xiaocao.

Chang Long waited for Wang Xue to leave, and then pulled out the green sword and looked at it for a while, his heart was quite unpleasant, the treasure that he was proud of turned into a flashy thing in a blink of an eye, and now put the sword in the sheath, on his back, picked up Wang Xue's token, and used the token to cut down the tree, Wang Xue's token is extremely sharp and hard, and any magic weapon can be interrupted at once, and it is effortless to cut down a few small trees. Chang Long used the token to cut down the tree, and the trees broke immediately everywhere he went, and then he finally became happy, and he no longer had any thoughts of "useless is a scholar".

With Wang Xue's token blade, Chang Long finally cut down no less than twenty trees before dark, which was enough to build a grass house, so he moved the trees up the mountain and built them with Hu Xiaochen. Zhao Xiaocao kneaded the rope and pulled a lot of vines and dead grass to use as a bedding. The four of them worked hard for most of the day, and finally built a few thatched huts on the mountain.

Chang Long saw that he was done, so he breathed a sigh of relief, sat on the ground, and said: "The pipa sweeps to move people's pity, and you must believe in the line to be the champion." I've learned this today. I'm exhausted. Wang Xue went to the mountains to buy some berries and wild vegetables, and then beat two pheasants to come back to satisfy everyone's hunger. Wang Xue looked at the thatched hut and said, "From today on, we will live here temporarily. When I was young, I followed Senior Brother Liu and three other senior brothers and one senior sister, and I also lived in the barren mountains and mountains. Wang Xue thought of the past, her heart was sour, thinking of Liu Yue and Xiao Yuansheng's kindness to her in the past, thinking of Li Hao, Wu Tian, Bu Ziyi, Zhang Guanhua, she couldn't help but redden, and thought: "Back then, Senior Brother Liu took a few of our senior brothers and sisters to walk the rivers and lakes, and now it is my little junior sister who has grown up, and it is my turn to take the young people to do chivalrous deeds in the martial arts." Thinking that Liu Yue didn't know how many times in the past he had to go back to protect his younger brothers and sisters regardless of his own life, he made up his mind that he would deal with the thieves in the future, if it really came to the time of life and death, he would fight for his life, and he would also protect Zhao Xiaocao, Hu Xiaochen and Chang Long.

Zhao Xiaocao, Hu Xiaochen, and Chang Long saw Wang Xue's sad look on her face, and she was about to shed tears, and they couldn't help but wonder at each other, and they all thought in their hearts: "Right now, all of us are so good, nothing happened to anyone, why are you crying?" The three of them didn't know when Wang Xue was thinking, and they didn't dare to step forward to ask. After a while, Zhao Xiaocao couldn't bear it anymore, walked up to Wang Xue's side, and asked softly, "Master, what's wrong with you?" Wang Xue didn't want to confide in her thoughts, wiped her eyes, and said, "Master is fine." From today on, the four of us will fight against the bandits together, and I hope you can all be safe. Chang Long laughed when he heard the words "four masters and apprentices", and said: "Four masters and apprentices, do we want to learn scriptures from the west?" Hu Xiaochen said: "If we follow Tang Sanzang's example of learning scriptures from the west, you must be that fat Zhu Bajie." After that, the four of them all had a smile on their faces, and they all thought that whether it was Tang Sanzang or Zhu Bajie, they were all about to uphold justice, and they were all sacrificing themselves to save others?
