Volume 1 The First Venture Chapter 44 The Crisis Is Resolved
Zuo Xuan knew that he was not a down-and-out opponent, and seeing that he had no intention of taking his own life, he immediately put away his sword, and thanked him with an uncomfortable expression.
Seeing this, the down-and-out old Taoist waved his hand like a fly and said, "Get out of the way!"
Although Zuo Xuan was annoyed by his attitude, he sensibly didn't make another move, but just straightened his face and said: "Dao Chang's cultivation is profound, Zuo Xuan thinks that he is not an opponent, but what Dao Chang said just now not only humiliated Zuo Xuan, but also insulted the family teacher. When Zuo Xuan's sword path is completed in the future, he will definitely ask the Taoist master for advice again!"
The down-and-out old man sneered, turned to look at Xu Zhaonan, and ignored it again.
Zuo Xuan didn't humiliate himself anymore after letting go of his cruel words, but nodded at Xu Zhaonan coldly, then pulled his father, and disappeared into the rain curtain after a few ups and downs.
The torrential rain is still falling, and there is no tendency to stop.
The down-and-out old road stepped on the mud, and walked towards Xu Zhaonan step by step, Gu Sihai saw this, and carried the sword of the four seas, as if facing a great enemy.
Walking to the three of them, the down-and-out old road stopped, looked at Xu Zhaonan, and said proudly: "Boy, the kung fu of the poor road is not much worse than that Baixi Feng, right?
Xu Zhaonan ignored Su Yurou's pull, took a step forward, pressed down the long sword that Gu Sihai was about to raise, and arched his hand at the down-and-out old man: "Seniors have thanked you for their life-saving grace today. It's just this ......"
Before Xu Zhaonan's words fell, the down-and-out old Taoist was stunned when he heard it, and interrupted: "Your surname is Xu?"
It turned out that when Xu Zhaonan met the down-and-out old Taoist before, he called himself a junior, which made the down-and-out old Taoist actually hear his name for the first time, and he squinted his eyes at the moment and thought thoughtfully.
Gu Sihai knew what he was thinking, and his face turned cold: "Zhaonan grew up in Yaoshan since he was a child, and he studied under his master!"
There are so many people surnamed Xu in the world, how could it be that the little beggar he brought back casually was a member of the Northern Zhou royal family.
Although he didn't believe it in his heart, Gu Sihai still secretly concealed the truth about meeting Xu Zhaonan, who was living on the streets at that time, in Fengyang City, and only said that he grew up in Yaoshan since he was a child.
It was the first time Xu Zhaonan heard Uncle Gu call himself like this, he usually called himself a "little beggar", and Uncle Gu also said that he grew up in Yaoshan since he was a child?
"I obviously only met Uncle Gu when I was ten years old?
Xu Zhaonan didn't know the inside story, and he thought that Uncle Gu didn't want to mention his past of begging for a living in front of outsiders, and deliberately did it to save his face, although Xu Zhaonan never regarded that past as a disgraceful thing, but since Uncle Gu said so, he had his own reasons, so he didn't correct anything.
The other person present, Su Yurou, saw him and Gu Sihai together when he first met Xu Zhaonan, but he didn't know his specific background, so he didn't show anything abnormal.
The down-and-out old Dao didn't know so many twists and turns, and pouted and sneered: "What are you nervous about?" Poor Dao naturally knows that he is not the person I am looking for, but I just think that if his surname is Xu, he is more related to Poor Dao...... Ten years ago, Poor Dao calculated that the person fell in the southwest, but it was only a few years later that he moved, and Yaoshan was located due south, of course it would not be him. Poor Dao went out this time, one is to find someone, the other is to accept apprentices, this kid is in line with my heart, even if I don't find anyone, it's not a waste of running with an apprentice, hahahaha......"
After that, the down-and-out old man stroked his beard and smiled, although he was laughing, but he still couldn't hide the look of loss in his eyes, his ability to do everything between his fingers has always been considered to be true, how did he fall on the head of the second son of King Yong, and repeatedly made mistakes?
When Princess Yong ran away, the down-and-out old Taoist had been hanging, but at that time, the heavens were covered, and it was impossible to find out her whereabouts.
Ten years in prison, the down-and-out old way is even more day and night, by chance, suddenly learned that the princess had died, and the second son of King Yong was in the southwest.
Later, no matter how he calculated, he couldn't calculate his whereabouts, so he had to inform King Yong of the matter through the disciples of the Ten Thousand Poisons Sect, and asked him to send the Northern Zhou Prison Heaven Courtyard to search, but the Heaven Prison Courtyard all over the world searched for a whole year, and there was no news, and over time, the disheartened old Xu family was also about to give up his thoughts, just as it was the will of heaven, and each generation could not exceed three sons.
It wasn't until the expiration of the ten-year period that when the down-and-out old Taoist saw the light of day again, he looked at the starry sky, and suddenly felt something in his heart, and after pinching his fingers and divining a hexagram, he learned that the second son of King Yong had already arrived at the place where he was due south -- obviously still alive in the world! The overjoyed old Taoist priest hurriedly explained King Yong, and this was his trip to the south.
Falling in the southwest?
Ten years ago, Xu Zhaonan was born begging in Fengyang City, and Fengyang City is indeed the southwest of the world!
Seven years ago, he brought Xu Zhaonan back to Yaoshan from Fengyang City, didn't he just move? !
Xu Zhaonan is young, and he has never heard the ability of the down-and-out old Taoist to know the truth between his fingers, Gu Sihai does know it, the supernatural power of the Taoist Xianshan Taiheng has always been an insight into the heavens, and the Taoist supernatural power that has been passed down for thousands of years is indeed more famous than the old Taoist priest's cultivation.
I don't know how the second son of King Yong has escaped his search for so many years.
Thinking of this, Gu Sihai quietly glanced at Xu Zhaonan's side face.
Xu Zhaonan didn't know what kind of dumb riddle the two were playing, his puzzled eyes glanced back and forth between the two, and continued: "The seniors saved their lives today, and the juniors should repay them in the future." But don't mention this apprenticeship, and the younger generation will never change to the teacher!"
"Hmm......"
The down-and-out old man stroked his beard and groaned for a moment, he also knew that the twisted melon was not sweet, besides, the re-mention of the matter of accepting apprentices was mostly done to scare Zuo Xuan's father and son, and he didn't care about it at the moment, and pretended to be free and easy: "Taiyi's Tianzun...... Poor Dao is a cultivator, and the greatest ability in this life is not this swordsmanship, nor is it this finger between his fingers, but the long life of Poor Dao! Poor Dao has time to wait for you, hahahaha......"
After a long laugh, he looked at Xu Zhaonan and said seriously: "If you go to the Northern Zhou Dynasty in the future, remember to go to the Ziyun Temple in Shangjing City to find a poor road." ”
Xu Zhaonan nodded and said, "You should obey your orders." ”
"Hahahaha......" Seeing that he agreed, the down-and-out old Taoist stroked his beard and laughed: "The crisis has been removed, and Zuo Xuan's father and son don't dare to trouble you anymore, go, go, ......."
Although the man stood in place, the figure gradually turned from solidification to nothingness.
The rain curtain passed through the phantom shadow of the old Taoist priest.
Only then did Xu Zhaonan and the three of them find out that the down-and-out old road had already left, and they didn't know when he left.
With a bang, Gu Sihai returned the sword into the sheath, turned his head to Xu Zhaonan and said, "Let's go too, it's time to go home." ”
Xu Zhaonan nodded, just as he was about to say something.
There was a plop and the water splashed.
I saw Su Yurou kneeling in the rain, bending down and kowtowing to Gu Sihai.
Gu Sihai, who did not change his face when confronted by the half-step Grandmaster Realm, was actually knelt down in the rain by this little woman, and was so frightened that he retreated again and again.
Xu Zhaonan hurriedly squatted down, held Su Yurou's fragrant shoulder, and asked, "Miss Yurou, what do you mean by this?"
Gu Sihai nodded stunned, presumably this was also what he was asking.
Su Yurou was pressed by Xu Zhaonan and couldn't kowtow, but she still knelt on the ground and refused to get up, and said respectfully to Gu Sihai: "Su Yurou thank your predecessors for saving their lives back then, thank you seniors for saving my Su family's life!"
It turned out that Bing Xue was smart, and she had already recognized Gu Sihai as the person who saved the Su family from the robbers on the official road back then.
At this moment, Su Yurou, who was kneeling in the rain, was drenched by the rain all over her body, and the hair on her forehead was constantly dripping with rain, adding a bit of softness, and I felt pity.
"The Su family?"
Gu Sihai was confused.
The shot a few years ago was never taken to heart by him, and he naturally couldn't remember the Su family's life-saving grace at this moment, and even more so that the woman in front of him was the daughter of the Su family who he used to tease Xu Zhaonan for several years.
"Uncle Gu......"
Xu Zhaonan explained: "It's the family you met on the official road when you took me back to Yaoshan back then......"
After Gu Sihai heard what he said, he suddenly realized, and then his expression froze, he looked at Xu Zhaonan with an unkind face, and asked, "You told her?!"
Xu Zhaonan naturally knew what Gu Sihai meant, so he gestured to the affection in his hand in front of him, and said, "Mrs. Yang recognized the affection, and Miss Yurou guessed something from Mrs. Yang's attitude towards me...... I'm not a good liar......"
Gu Sihai knew the relationship between Ye Qingge and his mother, and it was not strange that he could recognize the affection, but with Ye Qingge's personality, he naturally would not publicize Xu Zhaonan's identity, most likely it was this kid who fell in love with this woman.
I don't know where to think of it, Gu Sihai squinted his eyes and struck Xu Zhaonan on the head with his fingers.
"Senpai!"
Su Yurou said softly: "It was Yurou who forced him to say it, if the seniors want to blame me, just blame me, but Yurou guarantees with her life, the seniors and his affairs, Yurou will never say a word to outsiders!"
Only then did Xu Zhaonan and the others remember that there was still a person kneeling on the rainy ground.
At that moment, he didn't care about the defense of men and women, Xu Zhaonan leaned over and grabbed Su Yurou's arm, no matter how she struggled, he pulled her up forcefully.
The hem of the green shirt was already black with mud.
Gu Sihai looked at the two people who were supporting, and the corners of his eyes jumped again.
Da, da, da......
A fiery red figure rushed out of the rain curtain, ran to the three of them, and after snorting, rubbed Su Yurou with his huge head.
"Hong'er!"
Su Yurou didn't care to complain that Xu Zhaonan stopped her to thank her, and screamed in surprise, it turned out that this fiery figure was Su Yurou's beloved horse, Hong'er.
At the critical moment, Xu Zhaonan ordered Xiaobai to take Su Yurou away, and Hong'er, who was already exhausted, also chased after him.
Later, when Xiaobai and Su Yurou came back together, Hong'er disappeared, Xu Zhaonan thought it was lost, but he didn't expect the old horse to know the way and find it again.
Su Yurou was bent on coming back to help Xu Zhaonan just now, and she didn't notice Hong'er, and she didn't remember it until she saw that the crisis was over, but the heavy rain was vast, and the footprints had already been washed away, and she didn't know where to start.
Just when Su Yurou thought that Hong'er was lost, she didn't expect it to find it by herself, and happily hugged Hong'er and cried with joy.
Seeing this, Gu Sihai no longer had the mood to blame Xu Zhaonan, and shook his head helplessly: "That's it, when I made a move, Zuo Xuan already knew your identity, and it doesn't hurt if one more person knows...... This is not a place to stay for a long time, so if Zuo Xuan's father and son take advantage of Yu Jiangang's absence, it will be troublesome to kill a horse pistol. ”
"Hey, hey, hey......"
Xu Zhaonan scratched his head when he heard this, and said with a smile: "Then let's go to Hongluo City to rest first." ”
As for Lanyan City, which is close at hand, it is not in his scope of consideration - Lanyan City is too close to here, it is inevitable that Zuo Xuan's father and son will also rest there, in case they meet, but there is no one to help them deal with the enemy.
At this time, Su Yurou had also calmed down, and turned over on the horse at Xu Zhaonan's signal, and Xu Zhaonan also rode Xiaobai.
As for Gu Sihai, as one of the top ten masters, even if he doesn't ride a horse, his speed will not be slower than Xiaobai and Hong'er.
