Chapter 36: The Adventure of Xiangyang (1)

Inside the Valley of the Escape.

The leaves of the trees on the mountain had begun to turn yellow, and it had been a month since the cultivation of the Mind Method had begun.

In this month, He Ergou practiced diligently every day, practicing day and night to refine qi and breathe in, and improve his internal strength cultivation.

Thirty days have passed, He Ergou feels refreshed, his body is strong, his whole body seems to have endless strength, and his mental state is unprecedentedly good.

Although I don't know how to test my internal strength cultivation, I can be sure that my internal strength must have made great progress.

"Why don't you go to the master to test my internal strength and see how I've progressed over the past few days?" He Ergou pondered.

Coming to the outside of Xianyunzi's house, He Ergou knocked lightly on the door: "Master!"

After a long time, no one answered.

"Master is going out again?" He Ergou said to himself, "I've been practicing for a month, let's go down the mountain and have a look." ”

Thinking like this, He Ergou walked into the gate of Xiangyang City.

Think about the last time I came here, I met the thief Pang Fei and experienced those dangerous things. Now, after a few months, I still don't know any martial arts......

Walking into the gate of Xiangyang City, He Ergou saw a figure from a distance - this person looked graceful and luxurious, the silk silk he was wearing, and the jade pendant hanging from his waist were all expensive things.

"Isn't this Yue Lan!" He Ergou looked at this person very familiarly, and suddenly remembered that the last time he came to Xiangyang, he saw Yue Lan, who was known as the "Hero of Magical Powers".

In He Ergou's impression, this "supernatural hero" is quite loved by the people of Xiangyang and even the Central Plains. It also has a very high reputation and fame in the martial arts.

"I just don't know who is more powerful, he or Master?" He Ergou thought.

He Ergou stood on the side of Yue's mansion and watched Yue Lan standing at the gate, talking to a person.

The man was five short in stature, with a round belly, and a pair of small eyes that shrewdly shone brightly. It seems that he is a character like the head of the Yue Mansion.

The five-short manager looked anxious, clapping his hands and stomping his feet when he spoke, he and Yue Lan said: "Master, you let Yue Zhong and them bring a few family members with you, this thousands of miles away, you enter the river by yourself, how can we who are slaves rest assured." ”

"No need, Director Yang," Yue Lan said, "I set off in advance just to go there and walk around at will, if I take my family with me, it will be inconvenient." Besides, how many people can win the battle against the people who can make me unsafe?"

"This ......" Director Yang was speechless for a while, hesitated for a long time, and finally reluctantly compromised, "Then sir, be careful on the road." ”

"Hmm. Yue Lan smiled affectionately and stepped onto the snow-white mount, "You can take care of Wen'er for me." ”

"Eh, the little one got it. Director Yang nodded and watched Yue Lan's back go away.

"Wen'er?" He Ergou heard Yue Lan's last words to the housekeeper. Judging from the visual inspection, Yue Lan is already in the age of not being confused. It sounds like this Wen'er is Yue Lan's descendant, according to this age, if he still needs a housekeeper to take care of him, it can only be his grandson, right?

He Ergou was thinking about it, when suddenly a thin man walked out of the door, this man was dressed plainly, his temperament was not good, he did not have Yue Lan's luxurious temperament at all, and he was not as burly as him.

When he walked out the door, Yue Lan was already out of the city. Director Yang saw him walk out, and hurriedly greeted him with a smile: "Master Wen, why did you come out? It's autumn, it's cold outside, you can go in quickly." ”

Yue Wen shook his head and did not answer, but pointed to the forest in the distance.

"You want to go into the mountain? You used to go into the mountain every day, but you can't do it in the future!" Steward Yang's face was full of exaggerated panic, "If you enter the mountain, if you have an accident, the master will blame it, and I can't afford it." ”

Yue Wen still didn't answer, he still shook his head and pointed to the woods.

"You have to go...... Steward Yang's face showed a look of embarrassment, "But...... Today, the master is out, and all the people in this Yue Mansion are busy with housework, and they really can't spare anyone to go with you!"

Yue Wen still didn't say a word, just nodded, and strode towards the direction of the woods.

Steward Yang looked at the door for a long time, and only returned to the house with a worried face until Yue Wen's back was no longer visible.

He Ergou saw it in his eyes and wondered in his heart, that Yue Lan said that taking care of Wen'er was this person, but this person's appearance and clothes all seemed to be past the age of establishment, why did he still need to be taken care of by Director Yang?

"No, I'll have to go up and have a look. Curiosity prevailed, and He Ergou followed Yue Wen from a distance.

Along the way, we passed by the bazaars, restaurants, martial arts halls, blacksmith shops and antique shops converted from the old man's casino.

Whenever he passed by a shop or a stall, Yue Wen would stop, pick up the items on the stall and take a closer look, and then always put them back in their place.

Whenever he squatted in front of the stall, the owner of this stall would greet him with a smile, but He Ergou could see that these bosses all showed a look of disgust intentionally or unintentionally, but they hid such expressions very well, almost fleetingly.

After a while, Yue Wen's attention was taken away from the bazaar, and he no longer stayed, but went straight out of the city and into the forest from the path.

He Ergou followed closely all the way, and also came to the dense forest behind Xiangyang City.

Yue Wen stopped and walked along the way, sometimes picking a few wild flowers, sometimes washing his face with a mountain spring.

He Ergou followed him all the way, looking at him like a girl, full of curiosity about the wonderful nature, but in He Ergou's eyes, these plants were just specimens on the experimental bench - the kind that could not extract toxins......

Finally, he stopped in an open area, and found a fishing rod and a bamboo basket in some bush, which seemed to have been hidden in it for a long time.

He sat there quietly, calmly threw out his fishing rod, and began the fishing time.

He Ergou hid behind the tree far away, couldn't help but yawn big, and thought: "It seems that this Wen Gongzi, ah no, Uncle Wen is nothing special, he is still a stuffy gourd, he hasn't found me after I have been with him for so long, which means that martial arts are not very good, I better go to the city quickly, why bother to watch this stuffy gourd fishing here." ”

After making up his mind, He Ergou turned around and prepared to return along the same road, go to the city to watch a play, eat some snacks, and go back to Xiaoyao Valley later.

But when He Ergou was about to leave, he found that he had unconsciously entered the depths of the woods, and no matter how he looked at it, he couldn't remember where he came from.

He Ergou felt a headache, and it seemed that he still had to wait for this stuffy gourd to finish fishing, and he could not go back after following him.

"I didn't expect that I, He Ergou, would have to follow an ordinary person without martial arts for no reason......" He Ergou thought so, and turned around to see how long Yue Wen would stay here.

It didn't matter if he turned around, He Ergou saw an old acquaintance at a glance - more than a foot tall, with a tiger's back and a bear's waist, holding a huge mace.

He Ergou hurriedly covered his mouth to prevent himself from shouting:

"Xiao Long!"
