Hui Feng took Xu Zhi and others out of the cell in disguise, and it was already late at night. Hui Feng saw that his personal soldiers were with him all the way, and he was afraid that there would be too many people to talk about it, so he leaked the whereabouts of Xu Zhi and the others, so he hurriedly asked everyone to go home early to rest.

Hui Feng saw that everyone had left, and was ready to secretly take Xu Zhi and the others back to his mansion.

Xu Zhi saw that Hui Feng was very righteous, and said softly: "Senior Brother Hui, the eldest brother blamed you for a while, you saved the eldest brother's life, and the eldest brother will never forget." It's just that you brought us back to the mansion without permission, will it be a problem in the future? The three of us still took advantage of the darkness of the night to leave this Dengfeng City earlier. ”

Hui Feng said: "Brother Xu, you and I have a deep brotherly relationship, even if you let the younger brother go to the soup for the eldest brother, it is also willing, why should you say thank you for trivial matters! The eldest brother does not know, now there is a curfew at Dengfeng at night, the city gate is closed, and without Liu Jingren's general order, you will not be able to leave the city at night! You can only leave the city at dawn tomorrow! Therefore, the aggrieved eldest brother and the two brothers will rest in my house for a night!"

Xue Atan first shouted: "That's good! Brother Hui, it would be even better if I could let my brother take a bath and have a full meal!"

An Jingsi scolded: "Xue Aniu, you only know how to eat, drink and sleep, and Brother Hui can take us in, but you have taken a big risk, and you are not satisfied?"

Xue Atan muttered: "The two eldest brothers can't blindly blame the younger brother, the younger brother even lost the package he was carrying, how did he go to Shaolin if he was disheveled?"

Only then did Xu Zhi remember that although he had escaped from prison, the jade pendant on his body, the map, the key, and the Fengming sword entrusted to him by Grandpa Wang were all missing.

Hui Feng said with a smile: "Don't worry, the three brothers, these clothes and coils are naturally wrapped around the younger brother! The package that the three brothers lost in prison, the younger brother will also try to find it!"

An Jingsi said with a smile: "Don't worry about Brother Hui, our package is not worth a few pennies, but Brother Xu's Fengming Sword was also confiscated by the imperial court!"

Hui Feng smiled at Xu Zhi and said, "Brother Xu, don't worry, the little brother will definitely do his best to retrieve the sword for the eldest brother!"

Xu Zhi took Huifeng's hands and said, "Good brother, big brother thank you first!"

Besides, Xu Zhi and the three of them followed Huifeng around the downtown area of the city and turned to the north of the city. Hui Feng walked to a new house with red lanterns in the north of the city and stopped, and said softly: "Brother Xu, two brothers, this is the temporary residence of the younger brother!"

Xu Zhi nodded and said, "Excuse me Senior Brother Hui!" Brother An, Brother Xue, don't you thank Senior Brother Hui for your life-saving grace!"

Xue Atan and An Jingsi listened, and the two of them stepped forward to bow down to Huifeng, thanked them, and thanked them. Hui Feng hurriedly stopped the two of them and said with a smile: "They are all their own brothers, why bother with this big gift!"

Xue Atan saw that the Huifeng Mansion was very magnificent, and couldn't help but let out a sigh of praise.

Huifeng hurriedly ordered the housekeeper to open the door and invited Xu Zhi and the others in. With the help of faint candlelight, Xu Zhi saw that although the general's mansion was simple, it was very different from the ordinary people's homes, the high walls were full of fruit trees and flowers of all colors, and the small bridges and flowing water in the courtyard, the pavilions and pavilions, winding and twisting, and scattered.

Huifeng arranged Xu Zhi and the others to rest in the east wing. After Xu Zhi finished freshening up, he lay on the bed, covered with brocade clothes and embroidered quilts, and couldn't sleep for a long time. He remembered that he and Huifeng came all the way from Runzhou, no matter what happened, the two of them were responsible together, just like brothers, but now one of the brothers is in the officialdom and the other is in the rivers and lakes, but they are different from each other.

Xu Zhi thought about it and was depressed, so he had to walk out of the wing room alone and paced back and forth in the garden outside the courtyard.

Hui Feng came over from a distance and asked with concern, "Brother Xu, are you still not asleep so late?"

Xu Zhi replied: "Senior Brother Hui, I can't sleep, we brothers are talking?"

Hui Feng approached and agreed: "Okay, it has been a long time since our brothers separated from the White Pavilion to talk alone!", the two walked to a gazebo and sat opposite each other.

Xu Zhi asked: "Senior Brother Hui, eldest brother knows that you are not a person who covets wealth and fame and fortune, you like to live a free and unrestrained life!

Hui Feng saw that Xu Zhi's topic was very heavy, and he was silent for a long time before he said slowly: "Brother Xu, what you see is only the previous Hui Feng, people will change, especially in such a troubled world, people can only barely survive if they follow the trend and constantly change themselves, Brother Xu, are you right?"

Xu Zhi listened to Hui Feng's words and said with a wry smile: "Senior Brother Hui, eldest brother knows that some things are forced by the situation, and he can't help himself. But the eldest brother still doesn't understand, what happened in just a few months? Senior brother, do you have any troubles that you can't say?"

Hui Feng let out a long sigh and said slowly: "Brother Xu, you are my most intimate brother, I have nothing that I can't tell you." I used to be just a small novice in Jinshan Temple, accompanied by the supreme master all day long, chanting scriptures and worshiping Buddha, worry-free food and clothing, I don't know how high the sky is, how thick it is, leaving Runzhou all the way to the west, I am also the first time to see the outside world so wonderful, I am full of longing for the unknown world, at this time I am optimistic. ”

Xu Zhi usually sees that Huifeng is very open-minded, and it is the first time he has heard Huifeng talk about his heavy heart. Xu Zhi was secretly ashamed in his heart, thinking that he usually cared less about this dearest junior brother.

Hui Feng continued: "But in Connecticut, we met Zhou Yuanzhi at the same time, I liked her, I tried my best to get close to her, but she didn't like me, and she liked my closest brother, so I had to accept this reality. It also made me understand how painful it is to like someone. ”

Xu Zhi comforted: "This emotional matter is indescribable, the Tao is unclear, it has been a mystery of the person concerned since ancient times, and besides, this matter has passed for a long time, if Senior Brother Hui feels heartache, don't mention it again." Besides, Senior Brother Hui is accompanied by a good girl like Miss Cheng, and Big Brother is also happy for you!"

Hui Feng continued: "Big brother, little brother knows that you have always been good to me! Later, I couldn't stop Zhu Cun's atrocities in Yanyu Building, and I couldn't save the lives of Grandpa Cheng and Brother Wu, I felt how weak a person's strength is, no matter how strong a person's martial arts are, he can't save this absurd world, Brother Xu, are you right?"

Xu Zhi nodded and said: "What Senior Brother Hui said is reasonable, it is precisely because of the sinking of the world and the hearts of the people that we who study martial arts must use what we have learned in our lives to help those who need help! Now in the troubled times, how many people need to be saved? It is far from enough to rely on our personal strength, so we have to seek out the master of the world and help him achieve great causes, so that we can save thousands of poor people who are suffering!"

Hui Feng nodded, and said: "Brother Xu, you are chivalrous and courageous, righteous and thin, this is also the place where the younger brother respects the elder brother all his life, and the eldest brother has always seen it more far-reaching than the younger brother." It's just that the younger brother only cares about the present, and can't think of such a long term, now it's as black as a crow today, you say that the court is corrupt, but the Huangchao Righteous Army is no better, the little brother just wants to use the power of the court to get rid of Zhu Wen, avenge the unjust death, and vent his hatred for his own grievances!"

When Xu Zhi heard this, he understood Huifeng's intentions and persuaded: "I understand my junior brother's thoughts, but I buried my life's ambition and innocence, and went to avenge this personal vendetta, have you thought about it, Senior Brother Hui, this price is too great!"

Hui Feng smiled dismally at Xu Zhi in the night, and said categorically: " The little brother does not have such lofty ambitions as Brother Xu in this life, I only have two wishes in my life: the first is to find Zhu Wen for revenge, and the second is to treat Yingying well, I have been deeply in love with her since I saved her in Yanyulou, for her I can spare my life and return to Caizhou alone, so I also hope that Brother Xu can understand, when we were looking for medical advice in Caizhou, when Zhou Chen could come forward to help us, how grateful we were to him, the reason why I served the imperial court, on the other hand, it can be regarded as repaying his kindness！”

After listening to Hui Feng's narration, Xu Zhi was sad and helpless, and said: "Senior Brother Hui, the bitterness in your heart, the eldest brother understands it, and the eldest brother will no longer prevent you from serving the imperial court! It's just that the danger of officialdom is no less than that of the rivers and lakes, I hope that the junior brother will be careful in everything in the future, and think twice before acting! In addition, we must not forget the purpose of our martial arts practitioners' to 'hoe the strong and help the weak'!"

Hui Feng said: "Brother Xu, rest assured, although the younger brother is a member of the court, he will definitely be cautious and clean in the future, and will not live up to the love and expectations of Brother Ling and Brother Xu for the younger brother!"

Xu Zhi held Huifeng's hand tightly and shouted, "Good brother!", both of them had tears in their eyes and did not speak for a long time.

As soon as the next day dawned, Hui Feng said to Xu Zhi and the others: "Brother Xu, the two brothers, the younger brother has limited ability, and he can only rescue the three of them from death row! In order to divert the attention of Zhou Chen and the others, I immediately went to visit him, and by the way, I dragged him to prevent him from being separated, so I couldn't personally send the eldest brother out of the city. The eldest brother should remember that out of the north gate is Shaolin Mountain, all the way north over the top of the mountain, there is a quiet valley bottom, is the Shaolin Ancient Temple. However, at present, the imperial court and the Shaolin monks are facing each other, so the imperial court also has a secret checkpoint on the top of this Shaolin Mountain, and the three brothers should be extra careful when they pass through it. Yun Feiyang left Dengfeng City two days ago, and his brother estimated that he was likely to go to Shaomu Mountain to deal with the relationship between the imperial court and Shaolin Temple!"

Xu Zhi and the three of them all nodded silently. Before Xu Zhi left, he took Hui Feng's hand, his eyes were full of tears, and he said in a trembling voice: "Senior Brother Hui, take care, big brother is gone!"

Hui Feng turned his head, wiped his tears, and whimpered: "Brother Xu, take care of the two brothers, be careful all the way, there will be a period later!"

Xu Zhi three people in a little disguise, smoothly through the north gate of Dengfeng, three out of Dengfeng City, just like the dragon returning to the sea, the body and mind are extraordinarily relaxed, the three do not dare to stay, all the way to the north, see the mountains in front of the towering, the peaks are clustered and undulating, such as the flag surrounding, like a sword halberd listed, very spectacular.

An Jingsi saw the mountains dancing in the distance, knowing that the martial arts holy land in his heart was in front of him, he couldn't hold back the excitement in his heart, and asked: "Brother Xu, do you say that the martial arts of this Shaolin Temple are really as magical as the legend?"

Xue Atan didn't wait for Xu Zhi to answer, and said: "Brother An, is this still fake, when the Bodhidharma patriarch crossed the river with a reed, with this light skill floating on the water, it is rare to meet opponents in the world, I heard that all the monks in this Shaolin Temple are martial arts masters, we go to Shaolin this time, if we can learn one and a half moves, we will be infinitely useful!"

When An Jingsi heard this, he was very excited, and said in disbelief: "Xue Atan, are you telling the truth?" But I heard Grandpa Wang say that the ancestral fluttering sword of our Wang family is the first sword in the world, and it is much stronger than the Dharma sword in Shaolin!"

Xu Zhi saw that An Jingsi was still a child, and it was easy to be serious when encountering things, so he enlightened: "Jingsi! Each sect has its own unique skills, even if it is the first sword in the world, it has its strengths and weaknesses, and it cannot be generalized!"

An Jingsi listened to Xu Zhi's words, was a little puzzled, and asked: "Brother Xu, have you ever seen a sword move that is more powerful than the Piao Yi Sword, so I don't have to learn Grandpa Wang's swordsmanship from you every day, you can directly teach me more powerful sword moves, isn't it?"

Xu Zhi said with a smile: "Xiao Jingsi, it's not like this, I mean, even if Grandpa Wang's swordsmanship is the best in the world, but we can't learn it well and use it well, then we can't become the first in the world, and we can't even beat Shaolin's Dharma sword!

An Jingsi smiled: "I still can't understand Brother Xu's words, but I have written them down!"

While talking, the three of them climbed up the mountain path, and after passing the halfway pavilion, they were about to reach the top of the mountain. The three of them saw from a distance that the pines and bamboos under the valley were dense, the temples and temples were faintly visible, and the sound of bells and chimes sounded in the wind. The three of them knew that the Shaolin Temple was in front of them, and they couldn't hold back the joy in their hearts.

Xu Zhi saw that there were several rows of tall wooden fences in the depths of the woods on the top of the mountain, and there was a group of officers and soldiers armed with bows, arrows, knives and guns guarding the gate of the village. The three of them didn't dare to go up the mountain rashly, so they discussed once again disguised as monks who traveled far away, holding official documents, reciting scriptures all the way, and came to the front of the checkpoint.

When the general at the head saw three passers-by who looked like monks but not monks, he quickly stopped them and asked, "Who are you three, where are you from, and where are you going?"

Xu Zhi clasped his hands together and said: "Amitabha, the three poor monks are traveling monks from Lingyin Temple in Hangzhou, and they are going to go to Shaolin Temple to meet Master Zhicheng, ask him for Buddhist scriptures, and ask the general to make it convenient!"

The leading generals carefully looked at Xu Zhi, Xue Atan, and An Jingsi, and asked, "How can I look left and right to see that you don't look like monks, you are full of black hair, full of beards, where do you look like bald donkey monks?"

Xu Zhi saw that the general was slangful, so he had to whisper and said: "The three poor monks traveled thousands of miles from Jiangnan to Shaolin Temple, and the war was continuous along the way, and even the temple where the order was placed was difficult to find, and it was impossible to introspect for more than a year, so it was dirty, disturbed the general, and defiled the Buddha, please forgive me!", after speaking, he recited "Please forgive the disciple!"

Seeing that Xu Zhi was speaking very decently, the general took a few steps closer and shouted: "Alas, I advise you monks not to go to Shaolin Temple to die." ”

An Jingsi asked, "Amitabha! Dare to ask this general, why is this?"

The general took a few steps closer, touched An Jingsi's little face, and said, "I see that you are still a child, and you look like Lei Gong." Let me tell you the truth! These Shaolin bald donkeys really ate the bear's heart and leopard gall, and even privately took refuge in Huangchao and rebelled, openly confronting the imperial court, so the imperial court sent officials and soldiers to be stationed on the barren mountains and mountains all the year round, just to monitor the every move of these thieves and bald people nearby, if they dared to act rashly, as long as General Liu gave an order, they could ruin the Shaolin Temple's nearly 400 years of achievements. ”

When Xu Zhi and the three of them heard this, they had no choice but to make promises, and sighed: "Amitabha, sin and sin!" Thank you for the kindness of the general, but the three poor monks have been ordered by the abbot to come here, otherwise they will not be able to return to the Lingyin Temple to make a mission." ”

The general waved his hand and said impatiently: "Since you insist on going your own way, then don't blame General Ben for not being kind enough to remind you, the three of you took out the official certificate, and General Ben saw it and let you go down the mountain!"

Just as Xu Zhi was about to take out the degree, he suddenly heard a voice flying in the distance, "General Guo Sheng, who are these three people, and where are they going?"

Guo Sheng hurriedly replied: "My subordinates didn't know that Lord Yun had arrived, so I missed the distance!", after speaking, he turned around and prepared to greet Yun Feiyang and his party.

Seeing Yun Feiyang coming suddenly, Xu Zhi hurriedly pulled Xue Atan and An Jingsi back dozens of steps, and said in a low voice: "Now the situation is urgent, we can't reveal our identities, otherwise it will bring endless trouble to Senior Brother Hui of Dengfeng!"

Xue Atan and An Jingsi both nodded, and the three of them masked their faces, and while Guo Shengzheng was talking to Yun Feiyang, they quickly passed a few guarded soldiers and rushed towards the gate of the fence.

Yun Feiyang saw that the three of them behaved abnormally, and scolded Guo Sheng: "These three people must be the secret agents of Shaolin Temple, we must capture them!"

Guo Sheng shouted loudly: "The soldiers hurry up and close the gate of the wall, we can't let the three thieves run away!"

A few soldiers guarding the gate were about to put down the rope to close the gate, and An Jingsi threw a handful of stones in his hand, injuring the soldiers guarding the gate. Xu Zhi took advantage of this opportunity and rushed into the gate of the village first.

At this time, a large group of soldiers rushed over with spears and broadswords, Xu Zhi stretched out his two hands, grabbed the spearhead of a soldier, struggled to snatch the spear, and then waved the spear, picked off the spears of the soldiers, and blocked forward and backward, killing a bloody way. Xue Atan and An Jingsi also held the weapons they had snatched and followed closely behind.
