The boy tidied up his things and carried them out of the thatched house. Seeing that the door of the bamboo house was closed and the windows were also closed, he knew that the old man did not want to see him. I had to stand outside the door and kowtow to him three times. Yun Chuan turned and walked out of the clearing and walked towards the river.

The green bamboo snake in the bamboo forest never followed, and it seemed that it was known that it would not be able to catch up with Yunchuan.

Yun Chuan came to the Lingchuan River, thinking about what the old man had taught, urging his heart to make a decision, and flew over the water surface dozens of zhang wide, except for some lake water on the soles of his shoes, there was no splash around his body.

The young man wanted to go to Lingling City in the southwest first, see the old school, and then see if Master Ruhai had returned.

After walking for about half an hour, I saw that the gatehouse of Lingling City was still the same as it was back then, but it felt much smaller. The city guards standing on both sides were still wearing the same reddish-brown cloth uniforms.

The young man wore a short brown coarse cloth, and his head was wrapped in a cloth pound, like a down-and-out scholar. Fortunately, it is very long, but it does not hurt.

The teenager naturally doesn't account a lot, and the furniture he wore when he was a child was made by A-Niang herself. Later, there was no Niang, and there were few people anyway, so I simply dressed casually. If you hadn't come to the city, you wouldn't have dressed like this.

The boy found the Lingyun Hall according to his memory, and the students had just started their morning class and were reciting poems there.

The young man of about eighteen stood outside the door and looked at it, as if recalling the first time he met Teacher Ruhai. A man came over with a black-crowned Confucian robe, and saluted and said, "Why did the son come from?" "I just take a look at it, I used to study here." ”

The boy replied. "Is Teacher Ruhai okay?" The man didn't know who the boy was talking about, so he asked again before he said, "I have been teaching for three years, and I have never heard of this person. ”

Seeing the young man's lonely expression, he said: "Maybe the old master Lian knows this person, and he has set up this school single-handedly." ”

When the young man heard this, he thought that the old man had said that this old master was his brother, so he thought that it would be better to ask. asked, "How do I have to go to Master Lian's house here?"

"Ruyi walked west for a half on this street, and saw the one that said Lianfu. The man replied slowly.

The young man thanked him, turned around and walked down the steps, and after walking for a while, he arrived at the Nalian Mansion.

The young man saw a servant in the house carrying leftovers and coming out to give alms to the beggars on the roadside. One of the beggars seemed to be blind, with only one left hand.

Unlike the crowd coaxing, he just sat cross-legged, and after the servant finished dividing it, he personally handed a steamed bun to his mouth, and then he reached out to take it and ate it, chewing it neither quickly nor slowly.

The young man saw that the servant was about to turn around and enter the house, so he hurriedly stepped forward to stop: "Little brother go slowly, I have something to ask for." ”

The man was looking at Yun Chuan, this young man was half a head taller than himself, but this dress was really shabby, not like a big family.

Fortunately, on weekdays, the old man taught not to judge people by their appearance, and he smiled and said, "Little brother, what advice do you have?"

Seeing that the servant in his thirties was very polite, the young man hurriedly held his hand and saluted and said, "In Xiamu Yunchuan, I was entrusted by Master Lian's brother and brother to bring a message. Please let me know. ”

When Lian Wan heard what this person said, he was shocked at the moment, and looked at the young man carefully, seeing that this pair of starry eyes was very familiar, and he didn't know where he had seen it. Thinking of what he said, he hurriedly invited him to the eaves of the house, and said to him, "I will go to the same house first, and then wait." Don't walk away. ”

The door of Shaoqing's room opened, and an old man with gray hair came from the hall through the courtyard, and seemed very excited to see the young man. He walked over and took the young man's hand and said, "Come in, come in." ”

When the young man saw this old man, he couldn't help but be shocked in his heart, why did this person look so similar to the ruthless old man, like a mold carved out.

It's just that this face is kind and kind, not as vicious as the ruthless old man, and the dark Confucian clothes he wears are not like the old man who wears a Taoist robe to live.

The old man's hand was full of strength, pulling Yunchuan forward. Yunchuan is also not easy to resist with strength.

Suddenly, the young man felt that there was another strong wind behind him, and he saw that it was the beggar who flew over and pushed it out with one palm.

The young man felt different when he saw that person before, and at this time, he suddenly became troubled, isn't it the enemy of Master Lian?

The boy was trying to push his hands back.

The old man waved out one hand gently, and the young man secretly screamed that it was not good, if this was the case, the old man was afraid that his hand would be broken.

But I saw that the old man's flesh palm was close to the man's hand, and he gently discharged the man's strength, and then he pushed with all his strength. Knock the man out of the house and drop him to the ground.

Yun Chuan, who watched it, was stunned for a while, this palm technique can still be used like this, it should be that the old man is kind and unwilling to hurt people, and he admires it even more in his heart.

The old man dragged him into the inner hall. The old man looked at the young man, his eyes seemed to be shining, and he saw the appearance of the young man's body, which was somewhat similar, especially this pair of starry eyes, which looked like the woman. Tell everyone on the left and right to stand down and look at the boy.

"Do you know the whereabouts of your mother?" The young man looked at the old man, only to realize that the old man had penetrated himself at a glance, and he should know something.

I had to say frankly and bluntly: "I used to study in Lingyun Hall, and occasionally I was bound by bad people when I went to school one day, and my teacher saved me like a sea. When I passed out, he left me at the ruthless old man on the island, and when I could go home, I found that the courtyard had been razed to the ground, and my mother was nowhere to be found. Thinking that he could find Master Ruhai and ask clearly, he was also gone. Only then did he find the Master. ”

The old man with the pale beard and hair were all white, stroking his long hair and listening to Yun Chuan's words, his heart was infinitely emotional.

"Does the master know the whereabouts of Ah Niang and Teacher Ruhai?" the young man looked at the old man, as if he was eager to know the answer. "The old man didn't know, like the sea without saying goodbye, it has been ten years ago. ”

The old man shook his head and whispered, his eyes fixed on the young man. "You just said, I have been at my brother's place, how is he lately?"

Yun Chuan saw that there was no news, and when he looked lonely, when he heard this person ask about the old man, he replied lifelessly: "Brother Ling is fine except for his strange temper. But yesterday they drove me out. I don't know why. ”

The long-haired old man held up Yun Chuan's right hand with one hand, looked at it, probed the young man's pulse again, and said with a smile: "My brother Gai is unwilling to teach you anymore, so he pretended to do this. Have you ever thought about what you want to do in the future?"

The young man was even more sad when he heard this, and his eyes were full of tears: "The sky and the earth are big, where can I find my mother, I will go!"

The old man seemed to feel a little bit of the young man's words, "This land of thousands of miles in the south and the north is not easy to find. How about staying with me for a few days, and then making a decision in a few days?"

The young man wanted to excuse himself, but from last night to noon today, the grain of rice did not enter. Now there was a sound in the air, and the shy boy wanted to get into the cracks in the ground. Then he replied, "Thank you Master for appreciating me, and if you are sent, you can speak out." ”

Lian Wan arranged for the young man to live in the wing room and provide meals according to the master's wishes. The young man only eats fish, snakes and wild vegetables in the past ten years, but he feels unaccustomed to eating this delicacy, it is delicious and delicious, and he has not baked it himself.

But he said that in this bamboo forest, there were two empty houses, but only one person stood there. His eyes stared at the broken stump with a crooked neck, not knowing what he was thinking, and his face was not as expressionless as usual.

Occasionally, the breeze blew on his face, blowing the old man's white hair flying, and today he didn't even wear the five-ridge crown, and he was wearing white hair. The old man's hair seemed to be much grayer again.

Looking up at the starry sky and the stars shining, like a pair of starry eyes of a young man.

The night breeze of the bamboo forest blew, but a person flew in front of him. The old man's eyes must have been fixed, and when he saw the person coming, the corners of his mouth moved, and his face returned to his usual fierce color, and he turned his back to the person, as if he didn't want to see the person coming.

The white-haired master put on a black crown of soap, and when he saw that the man was turned away from him, he was not angry, but went to the tree with a crooked neck, and looked at the stump.

"In the past, when you came back from the north, you said that your eldest son should uphold the family business, and asked me to entrust my father with the property in your hands. I see that your injuries are not healed, and I can't bear to kill each other. Just made a gambling oath, if within three years, Lian Ruhai, who is weak and sick, can learn the light gong palm method, and one palm can break this tree. I'll let it go. It's a pity that I won the three-year contract. ”

The old man snorted coldly, but did not turn around.

The long-haired old man seemed to be extremely proud, and said to himself: "There is a guest from my mansion today, but he is the grandson of a friend in the past. I laugh at you for being so stupid, I haven't thought of it for ten years. What an old fool. ”

The long-haired old man twisted his beard and laughed, and the empty courtyard seemed to be filled with this smile.

The old man was so ridiculed by him, he turned around angrily and slapped his palm, and the white-haired old man stopped laughing and caught it with one palm. The two of them used all their might, and the bamboo leaves next to this courtyard were scattered and separated, leaving a round land.

One of the two is fierce and vicious, as if there is endless anger, and the other is kind and kind-eyed, but he is upright. The two of them had to dance with their hair, and after about half a moment, they each turned back.

The old man with the hair scolded angrily: "If you come to make fun of me today, I will die with you, and if there is anything else, quickly leave it and get out." As he spoke, he entered the bamboo house, his long sleeves flew, and the door of the bamboo body slammed shut.

The kind-hearted master straightened his clothes and said loudly: "This hatred of the country is hated, how to break it, I want that young man to go to the rivers and lakes for a while, if there is a fixed number, it will naturally be difficult to escape." If you, the master, can't see this bloody storm, I will let him take care of the home. lest in the future, you old fool and my desperate work, like the beggar outside my house who seeks it like the sea. ”

A stone flew out of the house, piercing the bamboo body and flying several feet away.

When the old man saw the stone, he knew that he had replied, "Yes." Without saying anything else, he turned around and flew out, disappearing between the verdant bamboo forests, leaving only the night breeze blowing through the bamboo leaves.

The stars shine in the sky at night. And the old man in the room sighed in the chair.

But he said that this Yunchuan lived in this mansion for several days, and he was extremely bored all day long.

When he was idle, he swept away a courtyard and was waving his palms for fun.

In the past, on the island, there was nothing else to do except practice palm techniques every day. Caught by the old man by chance, he just twisted his beard and smiled, but did not speak.

It has been boring for a few days, and on the fifth day, Yun Chuan packed his bags early, wanting to say goodbye. But there was a knock on the door, and when it was opened, it was the same incorruptible.

Lian Wan said politely: "The lord is invited, the son will go to the hall quickly." Yun Chuan didn't know where to go, so he had to follow Lian Wan.
