At the same time as Ren Xiao and the others were on the road, on the other side, Luo Yun and Mu Ziyi were also on the road, Luo Yun asked Mu Ziyi, "Is Zhong Liyan useful for your guidance?" Mu Ziyi moved his wrist and said: "It's just an enlightenment, Zhong Liyan is worthy of being a master of swordsmanship, although I lost this time, I can't wait to fight him next time." Luo Yun smiled on the surface, but secretly remembered what Zhong Liyan had said to himself and Li Xiangri after guiding Mu Ziyi, "This kid will surpass me sooner or later! Although he is very unwilling, but the ten-way swordsmanship is indeed amazing, this young man can have this kind of combat power after practicing for such a short time, and it will be immeasurable in the future." The wind does not blow and cultivates another master. ”

Looking at Mu Ziyi's somewhat red and swollen wrists, Luo Yun said, "Your wrists are fine!" Mu Ziyi smiled: "What's this, if you don't experience these injuries now, how can you practice the Ten Directions Sword Technique?"

Luo Yun gave Mu Ziyi a thumbs up and said, "It's great to be able to team up with a talented and hardworking person like you!" Mu Ziyi glanced at the calluses on Luo Yun's hands and smiled: "Let's give each other each other! I think your title of desert silver spear is not for nothing." ”

"Then where do we go first?" Luo Yun asked. Mu Ziyi thought for a while and said, "Zhong Liyan and Yan Ge recommended two people for us respectively, if I choose them, of course I want to go to Yi Bing, the Sword Master of the Cold Light Sword that Zhong Liyan said. Luo Yun smiled: "I expected you to say that, then let's go!"

Tianshui, good maintenance hall.

Ren Xiao returned here, and before he entered the door, he heard the voices of countless children, Feng Shang ran over to take a look, was taken aback, and said, "My mother-in-law, there are too many children!" Ren Xiao and Ye Lan also caught up, and Ruiyang, who was coaxing the child, saw that Ren Xiao was back, so he hugged a child and greeted him, "You're back!"

Ren Xiao looked around, looked at the children who were chattering, and asked, "Teacher Ruiyang, why are there so many children all of a sudden?" Ruiyang explained: "Now the lives of the people are in dire straits, and it is already very difficult for everyone to eat enough, who can still raise children! More and more adults are sending their children here and then fleeing." Ye Lan shook his head and said, "Alas, where in the world is there a place to stop now? ”

At this time, Ren Xiao saw a lot of familiar faces again, and Rui Yang said: "Thanks to you children who rushed back to help, otherwise our Good Raising Hall would not be able to accommodate so many people." ”

Ren Xiao looked around again, and didn't find the person he was looking for, so he asked Ruiyang, "Teacher, what about Qiqi and Zhou Quming, why didn't you see the two of them?"

Rui Yang frowned, and said, "You should go and ask Dean Qi and Xinglin about this matter!" Ren Xiao turned his head to Ye Lan and Feng Shang and said, "Please help take care of the child first, I'll go in and ask." ”

Ye Lan nodded, and when she looked back, she saw that Feng Shang had already been crushed to the ground by three or five children.

Ren Xiaoda strode into the hall, only to see Dean Qi sitting on a stool in the middle, holding a milky little doll in his arms. Dean Qi saw Ren Xiao coming back, and said, "I'm back, I didn't encounter any danger this time!" Ren Xiao hurriedly saluted and said, "Thanks to the care of the guards of the capital, I didn't encounter any major danger, but what about Qiqi and Zhou Quming?"

Dean Qi stretched out his hand and motioned for Ren Xiao to sit down first, and then said, "Not long after you left that day, a monk came to you. It was Zhou Quming and Qiqi who met him, and I don't know what happened specifically, but later Zhou Quming and Qiqi left with this monk. Ren Xiao clapped his hands and said, "It's too bad, the second brother must have come to me, Zhou Quming and Qiqi went to help him." Zhou Quming, this guy is really, just go by yourself and take Qiqi with you, don't you know if her martial arts are very poor?"

At this time, a voice came in from outside the door, "That's not the case!" Ren Xiao looked back, it was Xinglin, Ren Xiao hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "What happened to them?" Xinglin explained: "That day, the little master called Dangkong came to look for you, as if he was in some trouble, and he took Qiqi and said that she could go instead of you, and the little master did not approve of her going at that time, but Qiqi secretly followed after the little master left, and Zhou Quming also followed after he knew it. I wanted to go up and see what was going on, but you've seen the current situation of our Good Cultivation Hall, and I really can't leave. ”

Ren Xiao hurriedly said, "Teacher, do you know where they went?" Xinglin shook his head and said, "I really don't know this, I should be heading to the west." ”

When Ren Xiao heard this, he hurriedly saluted, and then ran towards the courtyard, saying, "I'll go find them!" Xinglin said worriedly: "You should be more careful!"

Ren Xiao ran to the courtyard and said to Ye Lan and Feng Shang: "Let's go, something happened!" Ye Lan hurriedly put down the child in his hand and handed it to a person next to him, Feng Shang also climbed out of the pile of children and ran out with Ren Xiao. Seeing Ren Xiao, who had just come back, hurriedly went out again, Rui Yang's eyes were full of worry.

"Don't worry! I'm sure they'll be fine. Xinglin came over to comfort her.

"Do you know where they went?" asked Ye Lan, who was following Ren Xiao. Ren Xiao shook his head and said, "I only know that it is going west, and I don't know where it is." Ye Lan thought for a moment and said, "Then first inquire which gang of robbers in the west is the most powerful, and start with them." Ren Xiao nodded approvingly.

A desolate village, full of ruins, broken and homeless people everywhere, only a simple tea stall at the head of the village is still in operation, but few passers-by can drink a bowl of tea here. Seeing these scenes, Ye Lan said to Ren Xiao: "Let's go to the tea stall first and see if we can inquire about some news." Feng Shang also rubbed his stomach and said, "It's time to replenish some energy." ”

The three of them entered the humble tea stall and sat at a shabby table, when a yellow-faced and skinny shopkeeper greeted them and said, "What do the three guest officers want to do?" Feng Shang asked, "What do you have to eat here?" The shopkeeper said embarrassedly: "Only some wild vegetable cakes." Ren Xiao asked incredulously: "Why do you only have wild vegetable cakes when you open a shop?" The shopkeeper smiled bitterly: "You don't know anything about guest officer, it is not easy to have wild vegetable cakes, and the food and money have been robbed by robbers." ”

Ye Lan said again: "Then where did you get these wild vegetables?" The shopkeeper sighed and said, "You don't know anything about it, guest officer, this place is too far away from the capital, and it is also quite far from the nearest county seat, so it has become a place frequented by robbers. As you can see, there are almost no complete families here. My wife and I also picked these wild vegetables in the nearby mountains. Ren Xiao sighed, glanced at the homeless people outside, and said, "Since you have something to eat, why don't you give alms to these refugees, but instead earn poor people's money here." ”

The shopkeeper smiled helplessly and said, "Then dare to ask the guest officer, who should I give alms to? If you look at me like this, you know that my life is not easy. Seeing the shopkeeper's sallow face, Ren Xiao seemed to understand the shopkeeper's helplessness.

After a while, the shopkeeper brought three dry wild vegetable cakes and handed them to Ren Xiao, and Ren Xiao asked again: "Then boss, why don't you run away? Life in the county town should be better!" The shopkeeper said: "In this world, where can there be a place to live and work in peace and contentment, the whole world is the same, and the rich are unable to protect themselves, not to mention those of us who are already poor." ”

Feng Shang took a bite of the wild vegetable cake, only to find it difficult to swallow. Ye Lan asked, "Shopkeeper, do you know where the robbers in this neighborhood are entrenched?" Hearing this, the shopkeeper hurriedly made a silent gesture and said in a low voice: "The guest officer doesn't dare to talk nonsense, my small shop has been visited twice by robbers, if it weren't for the fact that I still have something to fish, those robbers would have killed us a long time ago." ”

Feng Shang held the unpalatable wild vegetable cake in his hand and said, "Don't worry, shopkeeper, we are here to eradicate the robbers." The shopkeeper looked at the three young boys and said with some concern: "There is more than one gang of robbers here, as far as I know, there are three gangs of robbers......

Before the shopkeeper could finish his words, he heard a commotion outside, and someone shouted, "Oh no, the robbers are coming!"

Just as the shopkeeper panicked, seven or eight grinning men from outside burst in. "I heard that you have a customer in your shop, and our brother came to take a look!" shouted the robber at the head. The shopkeeper didn't have time to remind Ren Xiao of them, only his legs trembled in fright, and he couldn't speak.

When the three of them looked at it, they found that this group of robbers was also very shabby, and the weapons in their hands were also changed from farm tools, and they were obviously forced by life to fall into the grass. Feng Shang, who was in a bad mood after eating such an unpalatable thing, flashed over, blocked in front of the trembling shopkeeper, and said to the robber: "I know that the master is coming, you are specially out to greet him!"

The robber saw that the kid in front of him was very rampant, and he looked a little oily, so he said: "Boy, this piece belongs to Lao Tzu, no matter where you come from, if you know each other, quickly leave the money to buy your life!" Feng Shang smiled and said, "Money, the master doesn't have it, but I don't know if this thing is worth it?"

Hearing that the other party might have something of value on him, the robber hurriedly said, "Something, take it out and give it to me!"

"This is it!" As he spoke, Ren Xiao pulled out a thunderbolt from his right leg and threw it at the bandit who stretched out his hand. Suddenly, the extended thunder stick knocked the robber in front of him and turned a man on his back.

The rest of the robbers reacted and rushed up, although Feng Shang's combat experience was 108,000 miles worse than Luo Yun, but since he met Ren Xiao, he also fought with many masters, and later he studied under Wu Qing, a raged beggar who was one of the eight hidden. Feng Shang, who had already practiced his skills, had a thunderbolt in his hand and divided it by two with three strikes and five divisions, and he beat these few to the ground. Seeing that this group of robbers was beaten to the point that they were powerless, the surrounding refugees all applauded.
