Three days later, Zhu Xiangru took Qin Sangruo and accompanied Wei Chongshan to Lancang. Wei Chongshan's internal injuries have healed by fifty or sixty percent, and he is gradually recovering after the broken arm is bandaged, and there is no longer any obstacle to walking. Qin Sangruo was slightly injured in the leg in the fight with Zaqin and the others that day, and he had recovered by this time.

Zhu Xiangru bought two more horses, gave Qin Sangruo and Wei Chongshan one to ride, and rode the black horse himself. Three people and three riders, galloping on the road leading to western Yunnan. Qin Sangruo tasted the sweet fruit of love for the first time, and found a good son-in-law, her mood was naturally very comfortable, her personality was extremely cheerful, and she was even more laughing and feasting along the way, and the laughter echoed on the mountain road like a silver bell.

Wei Chongshan introduced the mountains and rivers of southwest Yunnan to them along the way, and Zhu Xiangru benefited a lot along the way. The farther you go west, the more you see the majestic mountains, the rugged roads, the dense woods, the ancient trees towering to the sky, the strange flowers and plants that have never been seen before, the thousand-year-old trees, abound, Zhu Xiangru can't help but secretly marvel. In the dense forest, you can occasionally see ethnic minority cottages, everyone is dressed in ethnic minority clothing, and the language life is very different from that of the Han people.

Seeing that it was getting closer and closer to Lancang, this day he traveled to a place called Tholo, which was already under the jurisdiction of Lancang, Wei Chongshan proposed to go to the tea stall on the side of the road to drink tea and rest, and the multi-day trip made the three of them more tired.

The three men dismounted, tied their horses to a tree by the side of the road, and sat down at a table in the pantry, which was very rudimentary, with barked trunks on all sides, thatched on top, and four or five wooden tables in the open space in front of them. I saw that there were three men at a table in the easternmost place, drinking tea and laughing loudly in the local vernacular.

The three of them sat down, and the owner of the tea shop hurriedly stepped forward and said with a smile: "May I ask a few guests what kind of tea do you want to drink?" Zhu Xiangru's heart moved, seeing him wearing national costumes, he thought: "In this remote and wild place, how can anyone speak pure official language?" Qin Sangruo and Wei Chongshan were also quite strange.

Zhu Xiangru replied, "Shopkeeper, what good tea do you have here?" The owner of the tea shop said, "We have the best aged Pu'er, freshly made green tea, and Kuding tea that has just been dried in the sun." Guest, which one do you want?" Zhu Xiangru said to Wei Chongshan and Qin Sangruo: "Brother Wei, Sang Ruo, Kuding tea is cool, how about a pot of Kuding tea?" Qin Wei and Qin Wei both nodded and said yes.

The owner of the tea shop gave a thumbs up and said: "The three of them know tea so well, they are locals at first glance, and you must know that Kuding tea is a characteristic of our area." "It doesn't take much effort, the owner of the tea shop brought the tea up, the three of them each poured a bowl, only to feel that the tea is bitter and sweet, but it is the fresh young leaves of the forest picking in the forest at that time, the entrance has a different taste, the water is the spring water in the mountain, clear and bright, the tea leaves float in the water green, clear and lovely. Several people were thirsty and hot, and they drank happily, Wei Chongshan wiped his lips with his sleeve, and laughed: "Happy, happy!" As soon as he finished speaking, he fell to the ground with a bang.

Zhu Xiangru was shocked and shouted: "Brother Wei!" As soon as she shouted, Qin Sangruo also fell to the ground with a thud, her martial arts were not as good as Wei Chongshan, but she only drank half a bowl of tea, but fainted after Wei Chongshan. Zhu Xiangru shouted again: "Sang Ruo!" hurriedly lucked up, but the soft breath in his stomach couldn't be lifted, and he was shocked, knowing that the tea was poisonous, and he was lucky, and he only earned twice, and he felt that his eyes were dark, and he fainted. Originally, with his internal strength, it was not easy to fall down so immediately, but when he saw that Qin Sangruo and Wei Chongshan were both poisoned and fainted, he was in a hurry, and his true qi was discharged, and the poisonous gas immediately rose, and he also fainted.

As soon as Zhu Xiangru and the three of them fainted, several other men on the table laughed and stood up, and the owner of the tea shop also wiped his face, revealing a fair and beautiful face, which turned out to be a woman. The woman instructed the men: "Tie these three men firmly with ox tendons and send them to the village." Several men bowed down, stepped forward, took out a few thumb-thick cow tendon ropes from their waists, and tied Zhu Xiangru and the three of them like a twist in a circle, and then the woman put her fingers to her lips, pouted her mouth and blew a whistle, and after a while, I saw several horses running on the road in front of me, and they were all strong and strong. The rough-looking man rushed closer, the woman opened her mouth, and the previous men threw Zhu Xiangru and the three of them to the people on the horse, and the people on the horse reached out to take it, one by one, and placed it horizontally in front of the saddle, and then raised the whip, and galloped towards the west avenue, and after a short time it disappeared in the dense forest.

The woman said to several men, "Take their horses, let's go!" Several people answered "Yes", walked to the tree, untied the mounts of Zhu Xiangru and the three, and one stepped on a horse, hugged the woman's fist, whipped the crotch mount, and walked towards the east avenue, and galloped far away in a short time. The woman watched the men go, then returned to the tea shop, closed the door of the tea shop, locked it, and went north along the mountain path. These three people went east, west, and north, and after a short time, they disappeared without a trace, and only the tea shop on the side of the road stood alone.

I don't know how much time passed, Zhu Xiangru finally woke up, and when he opened his eyes, he saw a person with a long sword hanging from his waist, his hands behind his back, facing outward and his back to him, and he couldn't see his face. On closer inspection, the place was a dilapidated house, the doors and windows were all in tatters, the corners of the walls and the roof were covered with cobwebs and dust, it was obvious that no one had lived in it for a long time, and the three of them had some hay and leaves under them. Zhu Xiangru saw that the person was wearing a cyan robe, his body was well-proportioned and beautiful, and he looked very familiar. When he turned his head to the side again, he saw Qin Sangruo lying two feet away from him, his cheeks flushed, like peach blossoms in early spring, unconscious. But Wei Chongshan was lying in a place outside Zhangyu, his eyes were closed, and his face was red, as if he was drunk, dancing with his hands, and his mouth was muttering and shouting.

Zhu Xiangru recalled drinking the so-called "Kuding tea" at a roadside tea shop On the one hand, he secretly regretted that he was too careless, so easily he fell into other people's ways, and what to talk about walking in the rivers and lakes, restoring his sight and driving the full; on the other hand, he thought that Wei Chongshan was also an old Jianghu, how could he be the same as himself, and he had no half of the defense, if the other party was a lackey of the Qing court or Wu Sangui's minions, where would there be life, thinking of this, he couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat all over his body, and he was ashamed and confused. Immediately, the internal force was submerged, and it slowly circulated in the body, but fortunately, the internal force was not lost, and it had recovered about two percent, which was enough to deal with the average master of the rivers and lakes, and his heart was a little calm. stood up, clenched his fists and said: "Thank you brother for saving the great grace, please accept...", before the words were spoken, the man turned around, only to see her jade face and long body, eyebrows like green mountains, although she was dressed as a man, but she couldn't hide her natural beauty.

I only heard her say: "Senior Brother Xiangru, you don't even know me anymore?" Zhu Xiangru was taken aback, and when he looked at it, it turned out that the person was Xuan Gui, who was dressed as a man at this time. Zhu Xiangru then was overjoyed and said, "Senior sister, it turned out to be you." How could it be you?" Xuan Gui smiled brightly and said, "Why can't it be me, is it that when you have a newcomer, you forget your fellow junior sister?" Although this sentence was said with a smile, it contained a little bitterness and ridicule.

Zhu Xiangru's face was hot, recalling the two chuckles he heard at the Kunming Inn, which must have been issued by Xuan Gui, and he suddenly felt a little unbearable in his heart, walked up to her, and said, "Senior sister, don't be angry, I will explain this matter to you slowly." By the way, when did you arrive in Yunnan, and how did you save us at this time, you have to tell me in detail. ”

Xuangui glanced at him, sighed, and said, "Alas, we are just senior brothers and sisters, you want to be good with that girl, how can I manage it." As he spoke, his eyes turned red. Zhu Xiangru hurriedly said: "I can't help myself, and I'm obsessed with ghosts." Let's not talk about this matter for a moment, why did the three of us get poisoned in a daze, and how did you save us?"

Xuan Gui said: "Since you left Wudang, you have practiced and learned the Tao every day according to your instructions, but where can you calm down." A month later, I couldn't bear it anymore, so I packed some clothes, and while the head and the master and others were not ready, I secretly went down the mountain one night and went straight to Yunnan. ”

When Zhu Xiangru heard this, he exclaimed: "It's bad, it's bad, you secretly went down the mountain without permission, and you violated the door rules, and this is okay!" Xuan Gui looked at him with a panicked face, and laughed out loud, and said: "Senior brother, you are a master of Wudang, and you are going to do great things in the future, why are you so timid? Go down the mountain privately, what's the big deal, according to the door rules, it's just three months to face the wall, and then I will go back to Wudang to receive it, you don't have to worry about me." ”
