As soon as the next day dawned, the man in white sat up from the bed and said, "Three benevolent fathers, there is something important to do, take the first step." This is my senior brother's Taoist temple, you have finished breakfast, and then hurry up!

Xu Zhi and the three were just about to resign, when Changqing Daoist and Daotong walked into the meditation room and persuaded each other with good words.

Xu Zhi had no choice but to reply: "The three poor monks got lost last night, and they have already disturbed the Taoist chief for one night, how dare they disturb each other again?"

Changqing Daoist smiled and said: "Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable! Having a light meal is not a gift of gold, and monks should help each other when they are away." Please don't shirk the three masters!", after speaking, he asked Dao Tong to take Xue Atan and An Jingsi to freshen up and eat.

The man in white suddenly whispered: "With all due respect, although the three are monks, they don't look like monks. It just so happened that my senior brother had a few shabby monk's robes here. If you don't dislike it, you can send it to the three masters to wear. ”

Xue Atan saw that the man in white was full of benevolence and righteousness, and suddenly had no heart to take precautions, and said with a smile: "Don't hide it from Brother Bai, the three of us are not real monks, just to go to Shaolin Temple to ......", Xue Atan's words were not finished. Xu Zhi stabbed him hard behind his back with his fingers, signaling him not to talk nonsense.

The man in white saw that Xue Atan suddenly shut up and stopped talking, so he had to smile and say, "I understand the difficulties of the three masters, no, the three brothers on the road." I happened to know a shortcut to Luoyang. You go out of the Baiyun Temple, go left for half an hour, there is an ancient post road, as long as you follow this post road, all the way to the north, you can see a Ziyun Mountain, as long as you pass through the Ziyun Gorge under the Ziyun Lake, turn the double hump, cross the Black Dragon Pond, you can go to the foot of Luoyang Song Mountain. ”

An Jingsi smiled and said: "Brother Bai! With you to guide us, we don't have to take all the detours with Brother Xu! Brother Xu, let's go after breakfast! We follow you, we've been hungry for a few days!", after saying that, he made a grimace at Xu Zhi, and trotted all the way to follow Xiao Daotong to freshen up, and everyone was amused by his innocent words and deeds.

The man in white and the Changqing Daoist gave a look, then arched his hand to Xu Zhi and the others, and left.

Besides, Xu Zhi and the three of them finished grooming and finished breakfast at Baiyun Temple, and when it was almost dawn, the three of them said goodbye to Changqingzi, and followed the post road, all the way to the north, through a dense forest, and came to Ziyun Mountain on the border of Ruzhou and Luoyang. This Ziyun Mountain was originally the remnant vein of Song Mountain, the mountain is steep, the vegetation is dense, and the scene is thousands. There is a lake at the entrance of Ziyun Mountain, which is what the man in white said, this lake is surrounded by mountains, the water surface is wide, and the breeze blows, sparkling.

When Xu Zhi saw it, he couldn't help but sigh: "It's really the lake and the mountains, and the sunset and the purple clouds are together!"

Xue Atan saw that Xu Zhishi was very excited, and secretly said to An Jingsi: "Brother Xu is good at everything, but he is too affectionate, he can't chant any poems at every turn, and what is right, but I Xue Aniu can't understand a word, isn't it in vain?"

Xu Zhi glared at Xue Atan, but he didn't expect An Jingsi to defend him: "Xue Atan, I think that Brother Xu has the talent of a prime minister, the feelings of a poet, and the ability of Grandpa Wang." When I grow up, I also want to learn to be a big hero and a hero like Brother Xu!"

Xue Atan listened to An Jingsi's words of praise for Xu Zhi, and muttered in a low voice: "Just you two Swen, what's wrong with my Xue Aniu's illiterate?

Xue Atan's words were heard clearly by An Jingsi beside him, and An Jingsi sneered: "What a Xue Atan! Don't forget your oath in the Taiga Valley, I am your eldest brother, you will listen to me for the rest of your life, how can you regret it and dare to secretly bury your eldest brother?"

Xue Atan, this person is extremely serious about oath and righteousness, he saw An Jingsi admit his words, and hurriedly bowed down and said: "Although I, Xue Aniu, am stubborn, but what I say, the water that I spill, and I am willing to obey Brother An's orders for the rest of my life!"

An Jingsi and Xu Zhi couldn't help but laugh when they saw Xue Atan being so serious on the side. An Jingsi said with a smile while helping Xue Atan up: "Brother Xue Xian, please hurry up, Brother Xu and I deliberately tested you just now, you don't have to take it seriously!"

Xue Atan came to his senses and scolded: "Look at my pig brain, it seems that I still have to learn from Brother Xu and read more books, so that I won't easily fall for others!"

Xu Zhi and the three of them laughed all the way, walked down the lake dam, and saw that under the lake dam is Ziyun Gorge, the cliffs on both sides are towering, and the gorge is bottomless, and only a line of sky above the head can be seen. The three of them couldn't help but gasp, thinking that if they were ambushed here, no matter how skilled your martial arts were, they would be unable to fly.

The three of them walked to the middle of the canyon, and suddenly there were bursts of shouts around the canyon, and Xu Zhi saw that the entrance and exit of the canyon were blocked by dozens of men in white.

A man in white at the head sneered: "Three masters! I didn't expect us to meet again so soon!"

Xue Atan saw that the person who spoke was the man in white who had been walking all the way last night, so he hurriedly pulled An Jingsi, took a few steps back, and asked, "Brother Bai, who are you? What do you want to do when you block our way?"

The man in white ignored Xue Atan, but said to Xu Zhi beside Xue Atan: "Xu Daxia, you are my savior, I dare not be disrespectful to you." To tell you the truth, I just want to invite the Zunjia to the main altar of our Tiger Gang, and our gang leader is waiting for you at any time!", after speaking, he bowed down and made an inviting gesture.

Xu Zhi replied: "It turns out that Bai Daxia is a member of the Tiger Gang, but Xu doesn't know the leader of your gang, if he goes to meet the leader of your gang so recklessly, wouldn't it be a great disrespect to your gang?"

The man in white said with a smile on his face: "Please forgive Xu Daxia! His subordinates are also ordered by the sect leader of this gang to invite your Excellency sincerely, and I also ask Xu Daxia to reward the sect leader and the next thin noodles!"

Xu Zhi saw that the man in white was sincere, and he didn't know how to refuse, when he suddenly heard a shout outside Ziyun Gorge that shook the sky, and a group of officers and soldiers rushed over, and surrounded dozens of disciples of the Tiger Gang.

Xu Zhi saw that the three people led by the officers and soldiers were riding high-headed horses, it was Yun Feiyang, Zhou Chen and Ou Yangguang.

The man in white and his subordinates saw the deputy gang leader of the sect coming, so they had to come over in turn to pay respects, but seeing Ou Yangguang and Zhou Chen sitting side by side on the horse, they were very intimate, and all the disciples remembered the past of Yanyulou, and their hearts were very unhappy.

Ou Yangguang saw that the disciples in the gang were very respectful to him, and he immediately felt that he had a lot of face. Therefore, he pretended to be a posture, sat on the horse, arched his hand to the man in white arrogantly, and said in a loud voice: "Senior Brother Baiyuan, all the brothers in the gang, everyone has worked hard!"

Bai Yuan responded: "Thank you for your concern, why didn't the old man come to Ziyun Gorge in person?"

Ou Yangguang replied: "The old man is busy with official business, and he arranges for his younger brother to come, and it is the same." Senior Brother Bai, the information you provided this time is very accurate and very important. You have made a great contribution to this gang, don't worry, I will ask the gang leader for you!"

Bai Yuan had no choice but to say thank you, stepped aside, and stopped talking.

At this time, eight officers and soldiers carried a carved phoenix sedan chair forward, and when the phoenix was stopped, a girl in red clothes walked out of the sedan chair with the support of the maid red leaves, and the girl was the princess of the that Xu Zhi had seen on the bank of the Ru River.

Yun Feiyang saw the girl in red get out of the chariot, quickly jumped off the horse, walked over, and asked with concern: "Princess Xiuyun, why are you here?", Zhou Chen and the others saw that the princess was coming in person, and they also hurriedly dismounted and came to salute.

Li Xiuyun didn't answer Yun Feiyang directly, but glanced at Xu Zhi in the distance and asked, "General Yun, the young man in front of you is the Xu Zhi and Xu Daxia that you often mention, right?"

Yun Feiyang hurriedly replied: "Princess, this person is the Xu Zhi we are looking for everywhere, and he has too many secrets hidden in him. Princess, what should you do with him?"

Li Xiuyun couldn't take her eyes off it, and looked at Xu Zhi carefully, she saw Xu Zhi in front of her with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, and Yushu was in the wind, but he was just a handsome young man, who seemed to be a little happy and a little disappointed, and said to herself: "Everyone says how heroic Xu Zhi is, and now he is down-and-out, penniless, and abandoned by the rebellious Huang Chao, such a person can't take care of himself, how can he be a big trouble for the imperial court? It can be seen that people's words are not enough to believe! Now that the imperial court is employing people, persuading him to contribute to the imperial court is the best policy!"

Yun Feiyang carefully figured out what Li Xiuyun meant, and said to Zhou Chen and Ou Yangguang beside him: "Princess Yizhi: There are two generals who persuade Xu Zhi to invite him to Luoyang to serve the imperial court!"

Zhou Chen and Ou Yangguang answered, walked straight to Xu Zhi, and said to Xu Zhi: "Xu Daxia, you also understood just now, our princess wants to invite you to Luoyang to be an official!

Bai Yuan saw that Ou Yangguang openly took refuge in the imperial court, and looked down on him a little in his heart, but then he thought again: This Ou Yangguang is the deputy leader of the sect after all, and he can't turn his face with him at this time. Therefore, Bai Yuan still asked very carefully: "Deputy gang leader, Xu Zhi can't go to Luoyang, the gang leader once instructed his subordinates: Xu Zhi must be brought back to the main altar!"

Ou Yangguang was a little unhappy when he saw that Bai Yuan dared to stop him in public, but he was very deep in the city and didn't want to lose his temper in front of the sect, so he just replied lightly: "Senior Brother Bai, the younger brother is the deputy gang leader of the sect, can the little brother represent the meaning of the gang leader and his old man, you might as well tell the sect brothers that after Senior Brother Bai left, the gang leader repeatedly instructed me: As long as I can catch Xu Zhi, I can act cheaply!"

Bai Yuan saw that Ou Yangguang suppressed himself as the deputy gang leader in front of everyone, and thought to himself that he had calculated everything, and wanted to make a contribution to the sect leader's capture of Xu Zhi; he never thought that this matter would be muddyed by Ou Yangguang: if he could capture Xu Zhi alive this time, it would all be thanks to the deputy gang leader's proper handling and strong work, and he would not get any benefits; if he couldn't catch Xu Zhi, Ou Yangguang would also shift the blame to himself. He was so angry that he didn't choose what to say:

"Forgive your subordinates for being stupid, do your subordinates carry out the order of the gang leader to bring Xu Zhi back to the main altar? Or do you carry out the instructions of the deputy gang leader and bring Xu Zhi back to Luoyang to be handed over to the imperial court for disposal?"

Ou Yangguang didn't know how to answer Bai Yuan for a while, but shouted: "Senior Brother Bai, you go back first, and when Senior Brother Changqing comes, he will naturally make it clear to you!"

Xu Zhi saw that Ou Yangguang and Bai Yuan had a dispute in order to get themselves, and couldn't help laughing: "Xu Zhi is a commoner, one faction wants me to be an official, and the other side wants to invite me to be a guest, you are too exalted to me, forgive Xu for being difficult to obey!"

Ou Yangguang shouted: "Xu Zhi, we respect you as a hero who stands up to the sky, don't be ignorant of current affairs, toast and don't eat, eat and drink!"

Xu Zhi shouted: "How about toasting? What about punishing wine? I, Xu Zhi, swear not to be an eagle dog of the imperial court!", the shy Ou Yangguang's face was flushed. Ou Yangguang sneered a few times: "What about being an eagle dog of the imperial court, it's better to be at ease and happy than a dying person!", after speaking, he took out the Longquan sword and stabbed at Xu Zhi.

Xu Zhi also took out the Fengming sword in a hurry, and greeted him, Ou Yangguang took the lead, and the horizontal sword slashed towards Xu Zhi's left shoulder, Xu Zhi hurriedly blocked with his sword, and the two swords struck each other, making a loud sound, which resounded throughout the valley.

This Tiger Gang has always been famous for its strong fists and feet, Xu Zhi is the first time to see Ou Yangguang use a sword, only to feel that Ou Yangguang's sword moves are mediocre, but the sword moves contain deep internal force, every move is like a heavy hammer drumming, passed through the long sword, shocking his heart.

Xu Zhi knew that if he used internal force to fight against it, these strengths and his own strength would bounce back, and he would inevitably be seriously injured, so he hurriedly used the Wudang Taiji Sword to overcome the rigidity with softness, drawing arcs in the air, dissolving the internal force on Ouyangguang's sword moves one by one, and twisting Ouyangguang's sword into one sword circle after another, these sword moves are interlocking and endless, even Xue Atan, who doesn't know swordsmanship, is amazed and applauded.

Xu Zhi became more and more courageous the more he fought, and he broke off with a move, using a "wave of light" in the flowing sword, forcing back Ou Yangguang, Ou Yangguang hurriedly swung his sword to protect the portal, but his left flank was still injured by Xu Zhi's sword qi.

Xu Zhi saw that after Ou Yangguang was hit, his swordsmanship was in chaos, and it was another move "Spirit Snake Swinging Tail", a sword stabbed Ou Yangguang's wrist and picked off the long sword in his hand.

Ou Yangguang's long sword fell to the ground, and there was a big ugly appearance in front of his brother, he didn't care about Bai Yuan's gloating eyes, and stepped aside with a shy face.

Zhou Chen saw that Ou Yangguang was defeated and was about to step forward to challenge, Li Xiuyun knocked lightly and said softly: "General Zhou doesn't have to be like this, we kindly invite Xu Daxia to Luoyang as a guest, how can we use force to force each other?

Yun Feiyang saw that Li Xiuyun valued Xu Zhi very much, and his heart turned from unhappiness to jealousy, and shouted: "General Zhou, you protect the princess first, Xu Zhi is superb in martial arts, let General Ben learn from him." After saying that, he took out a nine-section whip from his waist, which was made of copper and iron, and each internode had a ring buckle, which could be used as a long stick or as a short whip for close combat.

Xu Zhi had never seen such a weapon, Yun Feiyang first buckled the ring to form a spear, and the tip of the spear was dotted, like peach blossoms, poking at Xu Zhi's eyes and nose. Xu Zhi hurriedly nodded and dodged, but the head of the gun was like a spirit, and suddenly the buckle was unfastened, and the head of the stick hung low, like a whistle stick. Xu Zhi couldn't dodge for a while, and was hit in the right shoulder, only to feel that the shoulder was hot* painful.

An Jingsi and Xue Atan saw that Xu Zhi was injured, and shouted at the same time: "Brother Xu, be careful of the change in the head of his gun!"

Not far away, Li Xiuyun was also supported by the red leaves, watching the competition between Xu Zhi and Yun Feiyang intently. Seeing that Xu Zhi was invincible to Yun Feiyang's Nine Dragon Whip, Hongye clapped his hands again and again and applauded: "Princess! Look, General Yun hit Xu Zhi's left arm again! That Xu Zhi is really useless, or our General Yun is brave and mighty!", the officers and soldiers behind them saw that Yun Feiyang was holding a magical Nine Dragon Whip, taking the initiative, and also let out bursts of cheers.

Hongye shouted for Yun Feiyang for a while, and saw that Li Xiuyun beside him did not answer, but frowned, and sighed softly, Hongye was very strange, and asked softly: "Princess, what's wrong with you, are you uncomfortable?"

Li Xiuyun saw Hongye looking at herself strangely, as if she had seen through her thoughts, and her face couldn't help but show the shyness unique to a girl, and she hurriedly answered softly: "Hmm", and then shook her head indiscriminately.

Momiji was very puzzled, and said to himself, "What's wrong with the princess today?
