Chapter 57 Embarking on a journey
In the early morning of the next day, Feng Xiangtian called Ren Xiao and Feng Shang to his side, and said earnestly: "After going through so many things, you must have realized your shortcomings!"
The two teenagers bowed their heads and were silent, thinking that they insisted on staying in the yamen at the beginning, but from the beginning of the Pu'er incident to the present when Ren Xiao was hunted down, the two have not played much role, but have made themselves embarrassed every time, if it were not for God's favor of them, I don't know how many times they have died.
Seeing that the two of them didn't speak, Feng Xiangtian continued: "It doesn't make much sense for you to stay in the Yamen, so I plan to let you leave the ancient city to find your own cultivation path, and come back after you grow up!"
Ren Xiao immediately bowed down in front of Feng Xiangtian and said: "Ren Xiao, I have no father or mother since I was a child, since I came to the ancient city, my uncle has always treated me as his own, first gave me a treasure knife, and then arranged for me to enter the yamen, and now I am being hunted down, and my uncle provides me with shelter." The younger generation has not been able to repay the favor, and when he left today, he bid farewell to his uncle with the grace of his parents. ”
Feng Xiangtian watched Ren Xiao kowtow to him, and said, "Ren Xiao, it's me who should say thank you! If it weren't for your arrival, Feng Shang would definitely be in a mess now, and you changed him." ”
Feng Shang looked at his father, then at Ren Xiao, thinking back to his previous self, idleness all day long and not doing his job. But after getting acquainted with Ren Xiao, he seemed to be infected by him, and he no longer stayed in trouble, and he also had his own beliefs. Thinking of this, the corners of Feng Shang's mouth rose, and he said, "Yes, who would have thought that now I am completely like two people a few months ago, and my father is right, now is the time for us to dive in and cultivate." ”
Feng Xiang Tian saw that the two children's thoughts were the same as his own, and he was very pleased, and then said: "Today's world seems to be calm, but in fact, there is an undercurrent, I must have already understood, I Feng Xiang Tianrong has been a horse for half a lifetime, in order to hope to change the world to peace, but now the heroes are divided, the mountains are numerous, and there are even more people who secretly want to start a war." So, the future of the children depends on you. ”
Ren Xiao and Feng Shang bowed down in front of Feng Xiangtian again, and said in unison: "Follow the teachings of our predecessors (father), and we will definitely keep it in mind." ”
The ancient city gates are full of signs of time, and the river outside the city has sent away many heroes.
Ren Xiao, Feng Shang, Mu Ziyi and Taishi Xiaomeng stood in a row, looking at the Ma Long people who came to see them off. Ren Xiao said: "Brother Ma, thanks to your help during this time, the future yamen will be handed over to you!"
Although Ma Long was reluctant, he was also a person who understood the truth, and said: "No matter when you come back, the brothers of the ancient city yamen still recognize you as the eldest brother!"
On the other side, Feng Shang patted Bean Sprouts on the shoulder and said, "When I come back, don't let me see that timid little Bean Sprout again!" Bean Sprouts touched a handful of tears and said, "Third brother, don't worry! I will definitely grow up to be like you and the leader." ”
Mu Ziyi looked at Ma Long and said with a smile: "Hehe, you can't control me anymore, don't think about me!" Ma Long smashed Mu Ziyi and said, "You kid remember it for me, no matter where you go, as long as someone mentions my name, you have to be respectful!" Mu Ziyi hugged Ma Long and said, "Definitely!"
Taishi Xiaomeng saw that everyone was inseparable, so he urged: "It's not too early, let's get on the road!"
The four of them waved goodbye to everyone for the last time, but Feng Shang suddenly felt cold in his heart, felt that something was missing, and looked at the gate of the ancient city. Ren Xiao saw that he was in a bit of a trance and asked, "What's the matter?"
Feng Shang hurriedly shook his head and said, "It's nothing, it's nothing!"
Ma Long saw Feng Shang's thoughts, hesitated for a moment, and caught up with Feng Shang and said, "Feng San, there is something I have to tell you. Feng Shang stopped and asked, "What's the matter?"
Ma Long hesitated for a moment and said: "In order to save you, the art girl was highly poisoned and her life was in danger, she asked us not to tell you, but I think you should know that the art girl sincerely hopes that you will not disappoint her." Feng Shang instantly thundered like five thunders, and turned his eyes to look at Mu Ziyi and said, "What he said is true?"
Mu Ziyi lowered his head, sighed, and said: "That's right, the art girl really won't let us tell you, since Brother Ma said it, then I can't hide it from you anymore, after the art girl was highly poisoned, I was entrusted by her to send her to her master in Yunzhongshan." ”
Feng Shang looked up at the white clouds in the sky, and said with a smile: "This stupid girl!" After speaking, they followed Ren Xiao and they on the road.
It was late summer and early autumn, and the weather was starting to get cooler, with a cool breeze blowing through the treetops and leaves falling with the wind. Ma Long looked at the backs of the four of them, and saw the falling leaves, and said to himself: "Don't bully the poor young man, you are not basil!"
After the four of them walked for two or three hours, there was a fork in the road in front of them, and Mu Ziyi arched his hand and said, "Three brothers, it's time to say goodbye! Ren Xiao arched his hand and said: "It is my blessing that I Ren Xiao can be a free and easy person like you." Mu Ziyi smiled and said to Feng Shang again: "If you are fine, you can also practice your drinking, it is too bad, I am not satisfied with every drink." Feng Shang waved his hand and said, "You have to get it, you know, you can drink it!"
The four of them split into two groups from the fork in the road, each running to their own path.
Half a month later, a heavy rain forced the three people into a temple. Feng Shang patted the rain on his body and said: "It seems that autumn is coming, and this rain is also increasing." ”
Ren Xiao glanced around at the passers-by who were sheltering from the rain in the temple, and said, "It seems that the next road is not easy to walk!"
The heavy rain continued into the evening, and the pedestrians in the temple had begun to fall asleep as they occupied their respective places. Ren Xiao and the three of them also closed their eyes and fell asleep against a pillar.
In the middle of the night, there was a sudden noise in the rain outside the door, and then the temple door was kicked open, and a group of robbers with bright knives broke in. "Get out of the way!" shouted the bandit leader.
The sleeping crowd was awakened and gave way to the robbers. A dozen robbers pushed in a beggar with his hands tied, and the leader of the robbers said, "Tie this old thing to me, and don't let him run away at night." The men agreed, and then took a rope and tied the beggar to a post. The surrounding people were already trembling with fear when they saw the robbers.
When the robber leader saw this, he shouted: "You have nothing to do with anyone, if you want to leave, leave quickly, and if you don't want to leave, let Lao Tzu stay there quietly and don't meddle in things." ”
Outside the door is pouring rain, at this time out of the way I don't know what will happen, since this group of robbers did not embarrass themselves, it is better to hide in the temple obediently, and wait for tomorrow morning when the rain stops and leave quickly. None of the people left, but they all hid at the foot of the idol and remained silent. Seeing this, Feng Shang whispered to Ren Xiao, "What should we do?"
Ren Xiao looked at the situation and said, "Let's not act rashly, let's wait until tomorrow morning to make plans!" Taishi Xiaomeng nodded and said, "Ren Xiao is right, if you fight here, you will definitely hurt innocent passers-by." Moreover, the robbers did not make excessive demands. ”
When the three of them agreed, they stopped talking. Feng Shang looked at the beggar tied to the pillar and didn't feel a little familiar.
The next morning, the showers had stopped, and water was dripping from time to time under the eaves outside the door. When Ren Xiao woke up, he found that most of the pedestrians in the temple had decreased. Taishi Xiaomeng saw that Ren Xiao woke up, so he said: "There are already many people who have fled after the rain stops, and the rest are just some old, weak, sick and disabled. ”
Ren Xiao glanced at the robbers and found that they had also woken up one after another. So he pushed Feng Shang, who was still sleeping, and as soon as Feng Shang opened his eyes, he saw a robber holding half a piece of moldy steamed bun and handing it to the beggar tied to the pillar, and said, "Eat quickly, you old immortal, you can't starve to death." ”
As soon as the beggar raised his head, Feng Shang saw clearly that it was Wu Qing, a ragged beggar who was one of the eight hidden. Feng Shang was taken aback and turned his head to look at Ren Xiao, who obviously also recognized Wu Qing. Feng Shang said in a low voice: "How could he be caught by robbers, he is Bayin!"
Ren Xiao couldn't figure it out, but the reality was in front of him. Feng Shang was about to get up and said, "No, we have to save the old-timers." Ren Xiao grabbed Feng Shang and said: "Don't panic, we don't know the situation yet, rashly saving people will only moths to the fire!" Taishi Xiaomeng listened to Ren Xiao's plan and said: "Feng Shang, what Ren Xiao said is right, if you want to save the seniors, you must think long-term." ”
Half an hour later, the bandits began to gather their equipment and prepare to go. Ren Xiao stabbed Feng Shang and signaled that he was also ready to go.
After the rain, the sky was clear, the air was fresh, and although there were fewer leaves on the trees, there were still birds chirping. Ren Xiao and the others secretly followed behind the robbers.
After walking for about three or four miles, Ren Xiao saw that there was no trace of pedestrians around, so he said to Feng Shang and Taishi Xiaomeng: "It's time to make a move!"
Ren Xiao pulled out the Miao black knife, and Feng Shang pulled out the thunder stick. I saw Taishi Xiaomeng roll up the sleeve of his left hand, revealing a simple bow and crossbow on his arm. When Feng Shang saw it, he was surprised: "It's amazing, I haven't even found out that you still have this hand for so long!"
Taishi Xiao Meng smiled: "Who doesn't have two brushes yet!" Ren Xiao commanded: "Okay, Feng Shang, you are responsible for attracting the attention of the other party, I will rescue the old man, Xiao Meng, you cover the two of us!"
The two nodded, and Feng Shang ran forward. I thought to myself, "Shouldn't I shout a loud slogan?"
Feng Shang leaped in front of the robbers from the treetops, turned his back to them, and slung the thunder stick on his shoulder. When the leader of the robbers saw that someone was blocking the way, he shouted, "Who dares to stand in my way!" and a group of robbers drew their swords one by one.
Feng Shang turned around, grinned, and said slowly: "Let go of that old man......"
