"Brother Qi, remember our agreement. ”

Seeing Chen Qi, Meng Bufan, and Meng Xiaofan stepping on the bamboo raft, Ding Muxi waved goodbye, and the Ding couple beside her also waved goodbye to the three of them.

"What agreement?" Meng Xiaofan looked at Chen Qi curiously.

"Xi'er wants to find me in Yueyun Restaurant in Yunzhou City in half a year. ”

"Can she practice to the tenth layer in half a year?"

Chen Qi said: "Yunxi heart method is different from other heart methods, the first six layers are the most difficult to practice, to the back four layers are relatively easy to practice, I used the first six layers for nine years, the back four layers for three years, especially the tenth layer only used half a year, so Xi'er half a year can be practiced." ”

Meng Bufan saw that his apprentice still didn't understand, so he said: "This Yunxi heart method is like building a house, the foundation must be stable, the longer it will take, and when the foundation is completed, it will be relatively easy to build a house above." ”

Chen Qi said: "Uncle Meng is right, the first six layers of the Yunxi Mind Method are to build the foundation, and it is necessary to open up the meridians of the whole body, but this process cannot be rushed, it needs to be done step by step, so as to better exert the power of the Yunxi Heart Method, after all the meridians are opened, the back four layers of the Heart Method combined with the power of the undercurrent in the Yunxi River, the cultivation will be very fast, and the skill will increase several times." ”

Meng Xiaofan had already seen Chen Qi's swordsmanship, and when he heard him say this, he had no doubt, only amazement.

"Qi'er, I picked you up in this place back then, but this day the mountain is hundreds of miles away, and you floated from that place, so there is no way to find it. ”

When the bamboo raft paddled on the Yunxi River to a turn, Meng Bufan looked at a boulder raised from the mountain wall next to him and recognized the place where Chen Qi had been picked up back then.

Chen Qi looked around at this place related to him, and then looked back at Meng Bufan, "Aren't there any villages around here?"

Meng Bufan said: "I sent you to your master back then, and I left a few days later, and after I came out, I searched along the Yunxi River for a long time, but I didn't find any villages along the coast. ”

"Thank you Uncle Meng for saving your life back then, and thank you for everything you did for Qi'er. After Chen Qi finished speaking, he leaned over and knelt on the bamboo raft and saluted Meng Bufan.

"This is what I should do," Meng Bufan hurriedly bent down to help Chen Qi up, "It's just that the clues about your background have not been found, which makes me very guilty." ”

Chen Qi comforted: "How can I blame you, no one knows what happened back then, if it was really Tianyi Sect's doing, they also disappeared, so many martial arts people can't find their whereabouts, and it's normal that you can't find it." ”

"I think Chen Qi's home must be somewhere on the edge of the Yunxi River, maybe the location is a little hidden, just like where Uncle Ding and they live, it's not easy to find. Meng Xiaofan said.

Meng Bufan said: "Then we will look for it along the Yunxi River, there are many peaks on both sides, just like Xiao Fan said, it may be hidden in a valley that is not easy to find, and it is about to go ashore, after we go ashore, we go west, the mountains and forests stretch for hundreds of miles, the more you go inside, the more inaccessible you are, there may be places that are not easy to find, I only walked a hundred miles inside, and I may be able to find something in the depths." ”

"Good!"

After about an hour of rowing the bamboo raft, the three finally left the valley with cliffs on both sides, entered the gentle area, and when they reached an open place, the three abandoned the bamboo raft and went ashore, and then followed the mountain road next to it to the west.

......

"Master, there's someone ahead. Meng Xiaofan pointed to a big tree not far in front of him.

Meng Bufan and Chen Qi looked at it, and there were more than a dozen people standing under the big tree, most of them dressed as hunters, holding all kinds of weapons in their hands. At this time, those people also discovered them, ran over quickly, and surrounded Chen Qi and the others.

"What are you doing, but with that gang of Tianyi Sect wicked people?" asked one of the burly middle-aged men in his forties.

"What?," Chen Qi asked excitedly and in surprise, "There are people from the Tianyi Sect here?" Uncle please tell us, where are the people from the Tianyi Sect?"

Meng Bufan and Meng Xiaofan were also surprised when they heard the words "Tianyi Sect", they didn't expect to find someone from Tianyi Sect here.

Seeing the expressions of the three people, the man did not answer Chen Qi's question, but asked, "Aren't you with them?"

Meng Bufan said: "This brother, we just arrived here, and we didn't know that there were people from the Tianyi Sect here, and we weren't with them. ”

At this time, a young hunter walked up to the middle-aged man, "The three of them are dressed differently than those people, they shouldn't be together." ”

The middle-aged man said: "Since you have nothing to do with the people of the Tianyi Sect, then you are so offended, let's go, let's continue to look for it." After saying that, he turned around and left, and the people who surrounded Chen Qi and them also followed.

Chen Qi hurriedly stepped forward to stop the middle-aged man and said, "Uncle, could you please tell us where the people from the Tianyi Sect have gone?"

"Are you looking for them?" the middle-aged man asked with a wary look at Chen Qi.

Meng Bufan said: "Don't hide it from my brothers, we are here to find Tianyi Sect, and we have an enmity with them." ”

"They also robbed you of your stockade?" asked a man next to him.

"Our ...... of Hatred with Them"

"Uncle Yi, they went to the mountains over there. A young man shouted as he ran in this direction.

"Let's go!" The middle-aged man didn't pay attention to Chen Qi and them, and beckoned his companion to run towards the mountain pointed by the young man.

Meng Bufan and Chen Qi gave a look, and the two immediately started their light skills and flew in that direction, and Meng Xiaofan also flew after him in the voice of shouting "Wait for me".

Although the mountain road was rough, the three men quickly overtook the hunters by virtue of their light skills, and soon chased them halfway up the mountain, where more than twenty people were sitting, and around them were some cloth bags and some live animals, which were chickens, ducks, and half-sized pigs.

When these people saw Chen Qi and them, they immediately stood up from the ground and stared at the three of them vigilantly.

"Are you from the Tianyi Sect?" asked Chen Qi sharply.

"Grandpa is from Tianyi, what do you want?" a middle-aged man scolded and walked towards Chen Qi.

"Smack!"

Chen Qi looked at these ragged and sallow-faced people, a thought flashed in his heart, and then he slashed at a tree with a bowl mouth next to him, and with a "click", the tree broke into two.

"If you don't tell the truth, it's like this tree!"

The man was stunned by Chen Qi's palm, and stood in place in a daze, not daring to take a step forward, and the other people also looked at the broken tree stupidly.

After being stunned for a moment, the man immediately knelt on the ground, and begged while kowtowing: "Grandpa spare your life, grandpa spare your life......" Seeing this, the other people also knelt on the ground, doing the same action and shouting the same words.

Meng Xiaofan stepped forward, squatted next to the man, held his ear with one hand, slapped his head with the other, and said with a smile: "Just with these few pieces of material, you dare to come out and do evil? You fools, do you know how many people want to find Tianyi Sect? You dare to pretend? It's a shame that you met us today, or you don't even know how you died." ”

"Why are you pretending to be from the Tianyi Sect?" asked Chen Qi.

"We were the victims of the Yuezhou refugees, just arrived in Yunzhou, the prefect of Yunzhou issued a notice, saying that the victims can go to the canal construction site to work, manage food and housing, who knows that to the construction site, every day the soup and water, simply not full, but also to do heavy work, a little slack, will attract the overseer to beat, dare to complain will not give food, has died a lot of people, we people can not bear it, so they escaped, there is nowhere to go, they hid in this mountain forest, really hungry too fierce, just go to the village to grab some food, Tianyi Sect is what we said casually, we don't know that there is really a Tianyi Sect...... , please spare your life......"

This was said by a young man kneeling behind, with a hungry face and a shabby shirt, but neatly dressed.

"Are you serious?" asked Chen Qi.

"Really...... It's really ......" The people who were kneeling on the ground also all said nonsense, "It's really us who started it randomly, and we are really hungry, so we will grab things, uncle, spare your life......"

Chen Qi felt that something was wrong when he saw these people just now, so he used his palm to break the tree to deter, and then the performance of this group of people, he was sure that they were telling the truth, and he was very disappointed at the moment, he didn't expect that the news of this Tianyi Sect was fake.

Seeing this, Meng Bufan stepped forward to comfort him, "Don't be discouraged, as long as the Tianyi Sect is not disbanded, we will definitely find news." ”

Chen Qi nodded.

At this moment, the hunters also arrived, and when several young men saw these victims, they came forward and punched and kicked them, and cursed in their mouths, and those people knelt on the ground and let them beat and scold, not daring to dodge in the slightest.

Chen Qi stepped forward to stop him, and at the same time told the middle-aged man who took the lead what happened, and after the man heard it, he immediately stopped the beating of the victims.

"If you are the afflicted people, keep the food, and we will take away the living things. The middle-aged man said.

"Thank you, uncle, thank you, uncle......" The victims thanked gratefully.

"Get up, all of you. The middle-aged man said, and then he turned to Chen Qi again, "You guys go down the mountain with us, it's going to rain heavily here, this mountain forest is soft, and it's dangerous to stay here." ”

Chen Qi looked up at the sky, and there was a large dark cloud moving towards it.

Since these people were pretending to be indiscriminately, there was no need to delve into it, and at that moment, Chen Qi and the three of them decided to go down the mountain with these hunters.

Before leaving, Meng Bufan said sternly to the more than 20 victims: "Today's incident is not to blame in the past, and you must not do evil in the future, otherwise you will not be spared." ”

"Thank you, uncle, we won't dare to ...... again"

Meng Bufan took out a silver ingot from his bosom and threw it to the leader, "Since you have escaped from hard labor, I am afraid that you have nowhere to go, take this ingot of silver, go and buy some items, and find a suitable place in this mountain to settle down temporarily." ”

"Thank you, uncle...... Thank you, uncle......"

"It's going to rain heavily here, get out of here and find a place to hide. ”
