All three of them had light skills, so they soon came to a village.

"Brother Guo, you and I hit it off at first sight, and after experiencing this incident in Zhongdu, it can be regarded as sharing weal and woe! At this time, our old friend Zhou Botong is here, I think your six masters and Uncle Yang will be willing, how about you and I marrying as the opposite sex?" Xiao Jiang suddenly stepped forward and said to Guo Jing.

In the final analysis, Xiao Jiang still admires Guo Jing, the "great man of chivalry, for the country and the people".

"Of course I do. It is really my blessing to be able to worship Brother Xiao. After hearing Xiao Jiang's words, Guo Jing hurriedly replied.

The surrounding Zhou Botong was also quite happy that Guo Jingneng and Xiao Jiang were married.

After all, Xiao Jiang has a superb martial arts at a young age, and he is not arrogant in his talents, but also has a chivalrous demeanor. In this way, Xiao Jiang and Guo Jing, under the witness of everyone, made incense on the spot and bowed to the sky eight times. The two talked about their age, Guo Jing is older than Xiao Jiang, so he is naturally a brother. I saw that one of the two of them was called "virtuous brother" and the other was called "second brother", both of which were overjoyed.

"Brother Guo, in fact, there is another big brother above me, that is Qiao Feng, the leader of the beggar gang today, come to think of it, he is still your eldest brother. ”

"Oh, is it? The leader of the beggar gang, Qiao gang leader, everyone says that he is full of pride, he is a rare hero today, and I am very happy to be his brother."

After everyone around congratulated the two, everyone sat down again. Guo Jing asked Xiao Jiang: "My six masters are still in Jiaxing, where are we going next?" Xiao Jiang and Zhou Botong looked at each other, Xiao Jiang smiled and replied: "Since the eighteen-year competition agreement has been understood, then we want to go back to our hometown Jiaxing to see, after all, eighteen years are gone, and I don't know if the former relatives and friends are still there." ”

At this time, Zhou Botong hurriedly interjected. "Brother Xiao, I've been with you for so long, I'm tired of it, I'm going to play with Hong Qigong, it's not interesting to you, why don't you say goodbye!"

Xiao Jiang smiled, and Guo Jing said again: "Brother Xian, why did Brother Zhou and you spare this bad guy?" Xiao Jiang smiled: "I will be an old acquaintance with him." This guy specializes in hurting nature and reason, and he is innocent of death, but the injury is in my hands, and it must not look good on his old face. ”

patted Guo Jing on the shoulder and said, "Second Brother Guo, we worshipped today, what should I send?"

Guo Jing smiled and said, "Brother Xian, don't bother. Xiao Jiang said again: "I have the heart to pass on one or two sets of kung fu to you, but I am lazy and energetic here, and I can't raise my interest." I'll pass it on to my second brother next time. ”

Soon, they arrived in Jiaxing, and as soon as they arrived in Jiaxing, the two of them met the beggars.

Li Sheng and the others congratulated Xiao Jiang again. Their beggar gang elder Hong Qigong has never accepted apprentices, and the beggars in the gang have won his favor again, and it is rare for him to be happy to give him a trick or two, I don't know Xiao Jiang, how can Guo Jing be so close to him, and he is full of envy in his heart.

Li Sheng said: "We want to set up a banquet tomorrow night to congratulate Brother Xiao and Elder Hong on accepting a few good disciples. ”

He smiled: "I'm afraid that they will be dirty and won't eat what we call Huazi." Guo Jing hurriedly said: "We will arrive tomorrow." Brother Li is a chivalrous senior, and the younger brother wants to be closer and closer. Li Sheng was rescued by him, saved a pair of eyes, was already very grateful, and listened to him humble, his heart was very happy, and he and Guo Jing really agreed.

Xiao Jiang smiled: "You hit it off at first sight, don't persuade my brother to be a son." Let's all disperse, let's call Brother Hua'er to steal chickens and beg for food. So saying, everyone went out. Li Sheng said that he would hold a banquet in this ancestral hall tomorrow.

Early in the morning of the second day, Li Sheng and other beggars held a banquet to congratulate Xiao Jiang and Guo Jing, but by noon, Qiao Feng still did not come.

Li Sheng knew that the gang leader had a strange temper, so he didn't care, and cheered and drank with Xiao Jiang and Guo Jing.

The beggars have great respect for Xiao Jiang and Guo Jing, and they talk like each other. Cheng Da also cooked the dishes himself, prepared four jars of good wine, and delivered them in person.

After the banquet was over, Xiao Jiang and the others returned to the inn to discuss the future itinerary, "Big brother, although you have learned to descend the dragon eighteen palms, your internal strength is not deep enough, so you can't beat that Qiu Qianren, and the younger brother can quickly increase his internal strength in one place, why don't we go and find it together." Xiao Jiang persuaded Guo Jingdao. But Xiao Jiang saw that Guo Jing's skills were shallow, so he started the idea of the sword mound outside Xiangyang City, Xiao Jiang thought to himself, even if Guo Jing's qualifications could not practice the peerless swordsmanship of the sword demon, it would be good to eat a few more snake galls to increase some internal strength!"

Guo Jing responded: "Okay! I'm fine here anyway." We are just about to find a place to practice hard, so as not to embarrass the master next time we encounter an enemy!" Guo Jing had no objection, so Xiao Jiang urged everyone to hurry up and get on the road.

When it was early June, the day was hot, and the Jiangnan folk proverb "June 6, the duck eggs were cooked." "The fire umbrella is open high and the road is particularly troublesome. Xiao Jiang and the others only traveled in the early morning and evening and rested at noon. At noon on this day, Xiao Jiang and the others had arrived less than 100 miles away from Xiangyang, and several people were resting in a small shop on the side of the road, opposite the shop was a blacksmith shop, the iron shop was very simple, in the middle of the entrance was a big anvil, the ground was full of coal dust and broken iron, there were a few plowshares and a few sickles hanging on the wall, and there was no one in the house.

Xiao Jiang looked at this kind of appearance, and thought to himself what good this place can fight!" After a while, an old man came out of the side room, with gray hair, about thirty years old, thinking that he had bent over to strike iron for many years, his back was hunched, his eyes were red and thin from the smoke and fire, his eye sockets were full of eye droppings, his left foot was crippled, and he was holding a cane under his shoulder socket.

After a while, the blacksmith had finished forging iron, and with his left hand he picked up the red-hot iron bar with his iron tongs and put it on the anvil, and with his right hand he raised a large iron hammer and struck it.

Xiao Jiang saw that the blacksmith's left foot was crippled, and his heart was already moving, and he saw that the blacksmith's hammer drew a semicircle in the air, and when it landed on the anvil, it was a deviation and a drag, this technique was very similar to the Luoying Divine Sword technique, and he understood three points in his heart, and immediately stood up and walked out of the small shop, walked to the door of the blacksmith shop, and asked the blacksmith: "In Xia Xiaojiang, I don't know the master's name?"

Seeing Xiao Jiang like this, Guo Jing also walked quickly to Xiao Jiang's side and said, "Brother Xian, what's wrong? Let's go quickly, so that we can find the sword mound as soon as possible." Guo Jing said to Xiao Jiang.

"Hehe, don't be in a hurry, second brother remember that you haven't been in such a hurry to go to Peach Blossom Island. ”

When the blacksmith heard the word "Peach Blossom Island", his body was shocked, he raised his head to Xiao Jiang, Guo Jing glanced at it, and then lowered his head and continued to strike iron. "My surname is Feng, the countrymen don't know about the world, did the Lord of Peach Blossom Island accept disciples in his later years?"

Feng Mofeng had a gray beard, a hunched back, a crippled left foot, and a cane under his shoulder.

After Huang Yaoshi's wife Feng died after giving birth, and Chen Xuanfeng and Mei Chaofeng stole the next volume of the Nine Yin True Scripture, Huang Yaoshi broke all his disciples in grief and expelled them from Peach Blossom Island. At that time, Feng Mofeng was the youngest disciple and had the lowest martial arts, and Huang Yaoshi recalled it afterwards and owed him a lot, so he specially asked Lu Chengfeng to find out Feng Mofeng's whereabouts.

His pity, like all the other senior brothers, is that Huang Yaoshi has already abolished his leg, but he still misses Huang Yaoshi all day long, because there is no one else to miss except Huang Yaoshi.

but he also received a blessing in disguise. His parents died when he was a child, and it was a great blessing to worship Huang Yaoshi as a teacher, but Huang Yaoshi was so angry that Chen and Mei's apprentices had an underground love affair and stole the "Nine Yin True Scripture", and they were angry with several other apprentices, including Feng Mofeng, who were all kicked out of Peach Blossom Island with their legs. At that time, Feng Mofeng was still young, not only disabled, but also had no car, no house, no savings, no good job, no relatives and friends, so naturally no one married him blindly. Since then, he has been lonely, dragging a lame leg, eating enough alone and the whole family is not hungry, wandering the rivers and lakes and the four seas as his home.

Some people are like this, in the face of a difficult life, never complain, never retreat, the more sharpened, the more tenacious, the more hit, the more upright, the wounds on the body are never easily revealed, and what is shown in front of the world is always a sunny smile.

Everyone was amazed by this question. As soon as he mentioned the owner of Peach Blossom Island, Guo Jing was very unexpected, and he never imagined that an elderly blacksmith in the poor countryside would also be one of these characters.

Xiao Jiang glanced at Guo Jing, and then said to Feng Blacksmith: "The Lord of Huangdao is my father-in-law, and this one next to me is my dissenting brother." However, it seems that the younger generation has learned at such a young age, and so far even Peach Blossom Island has not had the opportunity to take a step. Does Master Feng have an old relationship with his father-in-law?" Xiao Jiang said, that is, he admitted that he was from Peach Blossom Island.
