In the early morning, the cold air hit, Qiu Ze woke up from the cold wind, and when he got up, he saw that the fire had already burned to ashes.

Next to the fire, Xin Yibo's eyes were red, his face was haggard, and he muttered in a low voice: "Look up to the sky and laugh and go out, how can I be a Penghao person......

"You haven't slept all night?"

Qiu Ze stood up and moved his muscles a few times, which made him feel a lot more comfortable, and he couldn't help but feel a little strange when he looked at Xin Yibo.

Xin Yibo shook his head: "How can I sleep...... Boy, I ask you, are you serious...... Don't want to fix the truth?"

Qiu Ze nodded solemnly: "I don't have any interest in Xiuzhen!"

"Not interested...... Heavens, are you playing tricks on the old man......?" Xin Yibo sighed: "I can't make a rash decision about accepting you as an apprentice, with my strength, if I want to forcibly take you away, you can't resist, but what is the difference between me and those old ways? Since you are not interested, I can't force it, alas...... You go, I'll give you two months, I'll stay here for those two months, and if you change your mind, come to me. ”

Xin Yibo's face was gloomy, Qiu Ze couldn't help but feel a little helpless in his heart, from Xin Yibo's words, he naturally knew that although this old man tied himself up, he just insisted on going his own way because he liked his talent, in essence, Xin Yibo was not a bad person.

"Although I don't want to cultivate to be your disciple, there are many jackals on this mountain, if you don't dislike it, you can go down the mountain with me, my family is poor, but I can also feed you. ”

"Besides, you were tied up by me, and your father has been looking for you for a day and a night, how can you stop? ”

Akisawa sighed lightly: "Okay, you are so self-conscious...... If you don't want to stay in the mountains, just go to Wuxian Qiufu and find me. ”

Xin Yibo turned his head and stopped talking, the old horse walked to Qiu Ze's side, lowered his head, Qiu Ze rode his horse, and galloped along Wu County.

After a long time, Xin Yibo looked back at Qiu Ze's distant back, shook his head, his palm opened, the brilliance flashed, and in his hand, a secret letter appeared out of thin air, opened the secret letter, and there were only a few words on it: Master, it has been rumored recently that there is a strange son in Wu County, with excellent qualifications, and I hope that the master will go earlier, if it is true, the revival of Lingchou Valley is expected to —— disciple Lan.

Somehow, Xin Yibo remembered a person, in a distant place, on the glacier, that lonely and painful back, on the top of the snow-capped mountain, he was crazy and impermanent!

"Lan, the news you gave me is true, alas, it's a pity, it's a pity, I'm not that hard-hearted person after all! I don't want him to be the next madman! I can't strangle a child for the sake of Ling Chou Gu!"

Xin Yibo looked into the distance, his eyes were complicated, his tone contained helplessness and loneliness, and the secret letter in his hand burned spontaneously, leaving no trace of ashes.

The old horse knew the way when he came, and before noon, he carried Qiu Ze to the official road, the old horse stopped, and after Qiu Ze got off the horse, the old horse turned around and left, and walked away quickly in the direction of Xin Yibo.

After walking along the official road for half an hour, the sound of dense horses' hooves was heard in the distance.

"Childe! Childe is ahead!"

More than a dozen officials saw Qiu Ze from a distance, quickly whipped their horses, and soon came to Qiu Ze's body.

"Childe, we've finally found you!"

The officials all had red circles under their eyes, and the clothes on their bodies were stained with a lot of dust, presumably they hadn't slept all night and had been looking for Qiu Ze, but when they saw Qiu Ze at this time, although they were tired, they were still very excited.

Looking at these tired officials, Qiu Ze's heart warmed, and he hugged his fists apologetically and said: "Brothers, thank you for your hard work, Qiu Ze is here to thank you!"

One of the officials dismounted and handed the reins to Qiu Ze: "What did the son say, the master usually treats our brothers well, these are what we should do!"

The official turned his head and said in a low voice: "However, the lord is in a bad mood, your disappearance this time must have been done by those old Taoists, right? The old man ordered us to arrest all the old Taoists in Wu County last night, but unfortunately we couldn't find out your whereabouts, and those old Taoists are still locked up in the yamen." ”

Qiu Ze chuckled: "The Taoist priests in Wu County have all been warned by the master, so naturally they don't dare to think anything about me anymore, and they will be locked up overnight...... I should apologize, let's go, my father must be very anxious. ”

————

In the county office, several gray-haired Taoist priests were tied together by the five flowers, shivering from the cold, and their hair was scattered.

"County master, Ling Gongzi really didn't take it away from us! Even if we eat the bear's heart and leopard gall, we don't dare to bother Gongzi again!"

There was an old Taoist who pleaded weakly to Qiu Xian Ling, who was sitting on the Taishi's chair not far away, Qiu Xian Ling snorted heavily, and the master took out a few letters from his arms and threw them on the old Taoists.

"Although you didn't come to my mansion to ask for anyone else, but these letters were written by you, right? On weekdays, I can't control your alchemy, but it is a big mistake to deceive the people and the people! I arrest you not only for Qiuze!

The Taoist priests were speechless by the Qiu County Order, so they had to bow their heads.

"Master, Childe has found it!"

Outside the county office, a government official flew off his horse and walked quickly to the hall, and said excitedly: "We found the son on the official road!"

Qiu Xianling's nerves, which had been tense for a day and a night, finally relaxed, and he hurriedly said, "Quickly call that bastard boy in for me." ”

Qiu Ze walked slowly into the hall, looked at his bloodshot father, and knelt down: "Father, I'm back." ”

Qiu Xian Ling stood up and said angrily: "Bastard boy! You still know that the people who are looking for you are about to overturn Wu County!"

"Father, I know that I am wrong, but the person who took me away, he has been persuaded by me that he will not come to me again, and it has nothing to do with these old ways, and I hope that my father will let them go. ”

"Let go!"

Qiu County Ling was furious, and several officials hurriedly loosened the ropes on the old Taoists, and the old Taoists did not dare to stay, and escaped from the county government as if flying.

"Bastard, come home with me!"

————

In the Qiu Mansion, Wu Bo and the two old servants couldn't help crying with joy when they heard that Gongzi had come back safely, but as soon as Qiu Ze came back, he was taken to the study by Qiu County's order and closed the door tightly.

In the study, Qiu Xian Ling looked at his son who was kneeling with him, his heart softened, he helped him up, looked Qiu Ze up and down, and found that Qiu Ze was not injured, and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Who took you away?"

"One...... An old Taoist priest, but I persuaded him last night, presumably he won't come again. ”

Qiu Xian Ling helped Qiu Ze to a chair and sat down, and said softly: "I know that you were taken away, and it is not your fault, but yesterday thousands of villagers worked tirelessly and looked for you for a day and a night, and you must bear this responsibility, so I am angry with you......"

Qiu Ze smiled: "Father, I know, I don't mean to blame you, I hope my father will help me thank those neighbors." ”

"This is natural, as a thank you, I will give out all this year's Yulu to those poor villagers, but you don't want to eat steamed flower cakes this year!"

Qiu Ze smiled bitterly: "It's all up to my father's arrangement." ”

Qiu Xian Ling smiled: "It's good if you understand, I'm also for your good, those warlocks and the like, in addition to bringing disaster to the country and the people, what other skills can they have?" Ze'er, you are talented and intelligent, I hope you don't go astray, in two months, you will try, you don't go out, study hard at home, I studied hard for more than 20 years, I got into the jinshi, with your qualifications, I'm afraid it won't be long before you can get the jinshi, but you have to remember, don't be frivolous and arrogant. ”

"Got it, father. ”
