As he spoke, he took off the medicine on his body, took out a number of cloth bags from the inside, picked up a cloth bag labeled "Yellow Mouse", poured out most of the yellow-brown powder, and let Duan You take it. gave Yang Huibin a handful and asked him to put it on his lips. Yang Huibin glanced at Lao Langzhong and took the medicine out of the cave.

The medicine in the old man is really magical. An hour later, Duan You's arm was swollen, and the drowsiness in his brain and abdominal discomfort all disappeared. He jumped out of the hole three times, refreshed.

Yang Huibin also has a face cover.

After Lao Langzhong left, the two munched on snake meat. Yang Huibin chattered, saying that he rode out of the mountain overnight, went east along the mountain, to a town, found a medical center, smashed the door, asked the old man first and then forced, put a big knife on his neck, and obediently obeyed. The two men came on the same horse, and soon after entering the mountain, the horse was tired and could not bear to leave, so he had to walk here. Speaking of Lao Langzhong's frightened appearance under the knife, Yang Huibin couldn't stop laughing.

Duan You was silent. Running a hundred miles round trip overnight, Yang Huibin is really affectionate!

Then he said, "In eight months, I will be eighteen years old, and I want to be a brother with you, I wonder if you want to?"

"Brother?" Yang Huibin pondered for a while and said, "You are four months older than me, and I ...... I'm calling you brother, and you're calling me ....... The more he spoke, the quieter he became, and the more he became inaudible.

Duan Youonly smiled when he didn't want to bow down, and said: "Okay, Grandpa Wei Tuo said that you can't look at the appearance, the form and title are just the appearance, and the recognition in your heart is true." ”

Yang Huibin didn't speak again, looking absent-minded.

After eating, Duan You saw that Yang Huibin was preoccupied, so he said, "Brother Bin, you miss your father, right? ”

"No!" Yang Huibin suddenly became distracted, and said, "I'm leaving, you should go to Pingcheng quickly." After speaking, he didn't look back, but walked away, a few ups and downs, and the person was gone.

Duan You was stunned on the spot.

Duan You traveled for a few days and arrived at Pingcheng, where he was arranged in the Pingcheng Pavilion near the Imperial Palace. All those who are invited will be provided with food and lodging by the Northern Wei State. If you come to participate in the competition on your own, you will only be provided with food and lodging by the public from the date of registration. The registration date is the 10th day of the first lunar month.

This ring competition, hosted by the Northern Wei Dynasty with the power of the whole country, has a great influence, and there are people everywhere in Pingcheng who are discussing this matter. In order to prevent gangsters from taking the opportunity to make trouble, Pingcheng strengthened its garrison, and the personnel entered and exited the city gate, all of which carefully checked their identities, and there were sentry and secret agents stationed in wine shops, teahouses, and inns.

On the 28th of the lunar month, the Pingcheng Pavilion was suddenly deserted, and the guests went home for the New Year. Duan You has been alone in Qingtu Lake since he was eight years old, and the only things he has seen are Veda and Tenzin, who have long been accustomed to it, and they have been practicing day and night.

It's just that this hand Shaoyin Heart Sutra has never made much progress, Duan You simply abandoned it, and practiced the second pulse of Ren Du and the hand Taiyin Lung Meridian, the Hand Yang Ming Large Intestine Meridian, the Foot Yang Ming Stomach Meridian, and the Foot Taiyin Spleen Sutra day by day, and the true qi flowed like flowing water between the six meridians, and he felt that he could improve some skills every day.

The sun and moon mixed yuan gong and the quenching body skill have not fallen, and the same is true of the dog stick method and Wei Tuozhang. Just practicing in the house, it is inevitably a little unpleasant, and sometimes it is convenient to go out and practice in a secluded place at night when no one is around.

It is worth mentioning that Duan You has integrated most of the palm techniques and body techniques that Yao Ren used when he was in the lumber yard into Wei Tuo's palm, making Wei Tuo's palm more powerful.

During this period, Takubaji came once. As the son of the world, he has a lot of affairs, and Duan You let him be busy and don't have to take care of him. Tuoba thunderclouds come often. Duan You learned from his mouth that this ring match was proposed and approved by Tuoba Si to oversee the event, Tuoba Leiyun was responsible for the ring scene, Pingcheng General Soldier Wang Xiao was responsible for security, and the Money and Grain Division was responsible for logistics supply, and the entire event was carefully arranged.

On the 30th Chinese New Year's Eve of the Dela Month, there were only two guys and three Duan in the Great Heicheng Hall.

As soon as midnight passes, it is the New Year. Duan You sat alone in the hall, his father Duan Zhen, mother Chen Rui, and sister Duan Ling's voice and smile suddenly appeared in his mind, and his heart was full of sadness.

Especially Duan Ling, it has been nine years since he was lost! The situation when he and Ling'er fled for their lives nine years ago has come to mind one after another.

I remember that at that time, when I fled to the Hongshui River, it was raining heavily, Ling'er lay on his back, wearing a sheepskin to protect his head, and then the sheepskin ate the rain, and it was heavy and difficult to lift, Ling'er protected all the sheepskins, and let the rain water her body......

Ling'er, Ling'er, where are you?

Suddenly, it occurred to me that the death of his parents and the loss of Ling'er seemed to be related to the succession of the ring, Lu Dian, who killed his parents, and the one-eyed ghost who hunted him and Ling'er, and the "Five Tigers of Mobei", and the "Buddha-faced Scorpions" and Chen Yi and others should have the same purpose: to find the Absolute Ring!

What is this succession?

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, early in the morning, the streets were full of people, horses neighing, sheep and chickens crowing. The people of Pingcheng, whether rich or poor, all led horses and drove sheep, and poured out of the city to "bring out the new" in order to pray for prosperity and livestock and poultry breeding. Duan You also took to the streets, strolling around.

After a while, Duan You went to the outside of the city and saw people everywhere, green smoke curling everywhere, and firelight burning. Some people have already walked back to the city, and some people are still driving livestock and poultry around the fire, shouting auspicious words in their mouths.

Suddenly, more than 30 zhang ahead, seven or eight horses were frightened and galloped, and the people shouted in surprise. There was a little girl of five or six years old, who was chasing a chicken, and when she sensed danger, the startled horse had galloped to her side, and the black pressure pounced, less than three feet away from the little girl.

In an instant, I saw a black shadow flying in, snatching up the little girl, pulling it high on the spot, kicking it out, stumbling on a horse, and the black shadow flew out obliquely like a big bird, and landed steadily. The surrounding people were stunned for a moment, and suddenly burst into sky-shattering cheers.

The person who rescued the little girl was a tall and thin young man, about 20 years old, and when Duan You arrived, the little girl's family had already arrived, and they were very grateful to the tall and thin young man.

The tall and thin young man handed the little girl over to his family and strode towards the city.

Duan You caught up a few steps and shouted, "Brother, please stay." ”

The tall and thin young man stopped, looked at Duan You, indifferently and speechless.

Duan You hugged his fist and said: "Brother Tai is chivalrous and extraordinary, Duan You in Xialiangzhou, I want to make you a friend." ”

Unexpectedly, the thin and tall young man just let out a sigh in his throat, hugged his fist to Duan, and turned to leave.

Duan You touched a soft nail, was stunned, and then laughed in his heart: As the saying goes, "a hot face touches a cold ditch", which is exactly the case.

Back at the Pingcheng Pavilion, I saw Tuoba Si, Tuoba Leiyun and the old man waiting at the door, and the old man was carrying a mahogany food box. Duan You hurriedly let a few people into the house. Tuoba said: "Early in the morning, I greeted my father and queen mother for the New Year, and when I returned to the house, I greeted the visitors, I came late, don't blame Brother Duan." ”

Duan You was quite moved in his heart. For eight or nine years, he has spent all his time in the desert, and he no longer knows what the Spring Festival is. Thinking of Yang Huibin's risky act of healing him, there were many words of gratitude in his heart, but as soon as he spoke, he felt shallow, so he didn't say much.

Words are only appearances, and many words, the more they swear, the more difficult it is to fulfill, and those who can't do it abound. Fellowship with others lies in sincerity and action, not rhetoric and empty promises.

The four of them sat on the ground, raised their bottles and drank freely, and the wine was in a good place, and Tuoba struck a few high-pitched groans—

"When you sing about wine, how much life is ...... The more strange it is, the more vain it exists. Wedge the feast, thinking of the old grace. The moon stars are scarce, and the black magpie flies south. Three turns around the tree, what branches can be followed? The mountains are not tired of being high, and the sea is not tired of being deep. Zhou Gong vomited and fed, and the world returned to the heart. ”

.........

After the fifth day of the first month, the Pingcheng Pavilion gradually became lively, and wave after wave of Jianghu men were introduced into the museum by Tuoba Leiyun and others, all of them were in good spirits and full of ambition.

The first to come was Shi Shenghui, the leader of the Orion Gang, nearly forty years old, covered in animal skins, holding an iron fork, and his voice was loud. After that, the Xianbei gang leader Mu Yi, the Di gang leader Qing Zhu, and the gang leader Lu Wenyu arrived, all of them hugged each other, and they were majestic.

Murong Shi and Qingwei saw Duan You, staring at the bamboo stick in his hand with suspicious eyes.

On the ninth day of the first lunar month, Shi Kai, the deputy leader of the Han Gang, came.

When Shi Kai saw Duan You, he was very surprised, picked him up and turned around, laughed, and even said that he couldn't think of it, and said: "As soon as Brother Duan came, my first was a boiled duck and flew." ”

Shi Kai opened the door in a loud voice, and when he heard his words, everyone looked at Duan You, and their faces were mocking. One of the Gang members said to Shi Kai: "Deputy Gang Leader Shi, who is this kid, has he led a horse for you, or has he fallen and pedaled? As he spoke, he laughed with a few people around him.

Duan You saw it, and he was also an acquaintance: Lu Wengu, the master of Luoyang Hall. Then he smiled at him, ignored him, and dragged the angry Shi Kai away.

Duan You asked Shi Kai: "Why didn't you see Yao Ren's gang leader coming, didn't you invite him?"

Shi Kai said: "The war between Wei and Qin is continuous, and the Qiang Gang may not have been invited, and even if they are invited, the Yao Gang Leader will not come." ”

Duan You suddenly realized.

When I didn't see Yao Ren, I was always a little disappointed in my heart.

Early the next morning, Tuoba Leiyun took everyone to sign up. The registration location is at the place of the competition, at the root of the city wall inside the south gate. There are four rings along the city wall, which are not high, but the table is wide, and there are colorful flags around the platform, which is magnificent.

In front of the ring, there are already crowds, all kinds of costumes shuttle, and various dialects are mixed.

There are registration points in each of the four rings. Duan Youyou waited to register at the No. 1 station. Mu Yi, Qing Zhu, Lu Wenyu, Shi Shenghui and others finished reporting, Shi Kai asked Duan You to report first, and the two were humble, but they saw two big men walking straight and reporting their names, one was called Yan Ji, and the other was also an acquaintance: Liu Bobo. The two reported that they had no gang or faction, and they were from Chang'an.

There were not many people on the No. 1 platform, Liu Bobo saw Duan You, but he pretended not to know, and after reporting the name, he passed by and left with Yan Ji.

When Duan You registered, he saw that there were more than ten people in the registration book, and the first one was Tuoba Hei!
