Chapter 21: Jinzhu Mountain Gate
A few days have passed, and the matter in Qingyang County has been completely spread.
Everyone in this river and lake is a legend, Xue Baisheng cultivated to the Nine Heavens Absolute Divine Skill, and killed the Shadow Slasher and the Heavenly Imperial Soldier all of them.
Among them, there is even the seventh soldier who is ranked among the Heavenly Imperial Soldiers, and within the Shadow Chopping, one of the thirty-six Tiangang and seventy-two Earth Demons has died in the hands of Xue Baisheng.
As a result, many people in the rivers and lakes can't help but start worrying. If this peerless martial art falls into the hands of righteous people, there is no need to worry. If it falls into the hands of the gangsters, I am afraid that another bloody storm is about to be swept up.
After all, the matter of martial arts in the Nanbang domain a few days ago has not subsided. Among the various sects, they have not yet eased up, and this greater crisis is coming.
Cluck......
Qin Feng pushed open the wooden door of the guest room, and then placed a bag of dry food on the table.
Yang Hao stayed by Zhou Qing's side, holding Zhou Qing's pulse with his hand, his brows furrowed, he didn't know what he was thinking.
"Strange!"
Yang Hao suddenly spoke.
"Senior brother, could it be that this young man's injuries have worsened?"
Qi Yi hurried over, and was about to pick up the burden and rummage for some medicines, but Yang Hao stopped.
"It's not that his injuries have worsened, but that this young man's injuries are getting better quickly, ordinary people are lucky not to die after being hit by this sword, but he has been on the verge of waking up in the past few days. ”
"Could it be that he has a foundation in martial arts?"
Qin Feng sat down, then picked up a steamed bun with one hand and chewed it dryly.
"It's hard to say this, now his pulse is still very thin, and it is difficult for me to find out if he has martial arts. But this young man is more than a little strange, if I hadn't probed his pulse for a few days, I really wouldn't have found it, his muscles and veins are different from ordinary people.
Perhaps, it is the difference in his muscles and veins that gives him such a special physique. ”
Yang Hao withdrew his hand, sat down at the table, and began to nibble on steamed buns. Now the silver on their bodies has long been spent because of buying medicine for Zhou Qing, and they were originally going to take Zhou Qing to find a broken house to live in, but they were not allowed to do so, so they lost their bracelets in exchange for some silver taels.
"Senior brother, why do we have to wait a few days at the bottom of the mountain to return to the door, is there any inconvenience in going back directly?"
Qi Yi's eyes looked a little haggard, he was supposed to return to the door two days ago, but now it has dragged on for two days.
"Qi Yi, although you say that your martial arts talent is higher than me and my senior brother, why don't you open your mind?
It was because of our uncle's protection that we had the opportunity to leave Taiping County first. Now that the disciples in the sect have not returned, the three of us have gained nothing, and even brought a half-dead outsider back, so it's strange that Uncle Zuo doesn't train you to death!"
Qin Feng couldn't help but point at Qi Yi and said.
"Although what Qin Feng said is a bit excessive, it is also true, Master has been dead for many years, with the strength of the three of us, it is really hard to say that I want the river valley soldiers to survive. ”
Yang Hao lowered his head, and there was a bit of bitterness in his words.
These words were listened to by Zhou Qing, who was still asleep. He hadn't woken up yet, but he had regained consciousness.
Now Zhou Qing wants to open his eyes several times, but it is difficult to do so. However, he also felt that this was a good thing, from Yang Hao's mouth, Zhou Qing learned some things on the rivers and lakes.
It turns out that the current martial arts sect has not yet begun to look for him, but there are all kinds of idle people in the rivers and lakes, or small forces are looking for his whereabouts.
Everyone thought that the Imperial Soldier and the Earth Demon Leader were killed by Xue Baisheng that day. The attention of the outside world has gradually ceased to be on him.
Maybe in a few years, as long as he doesn't show up, everyone will think that he has been wiped out by Xue Baisheng.
This is both a good thing and a bad thing for Zhou Qing.
Soon after he came, there was no need to worry about the people in the court and the people in the rivers and lakes looking for him.
Second, if his father returned to the Zhou family, I am afraid that he would really think that he was dead.
But Zhou Qing has no other way at present, he is just a nobody, and now he is lucky to be rescued by the three brothers and sisters.
Zhou Qing was filled with joy in his heart, but he also participated in a little uneasiness. If you want to follow them to the golden bamboo gate, you have to make up lies to deceive these three life-saving benefactors.
Zhou Qing sighed in his heart, now it can only be like this. When I can protect myself, I will tell these three benefactors the reason.
After another two days, Qi Yi's silver was almost spent, and the three of them had to take Zhou Qing to the outside of the city, pick wild fruits on the mountain, and beat a few small beasts to satisfy their hunger. Yang Hao's martial arts not only far surpass Qi Yi and Qin Feng, but his medical skills are also good.
He went to the mountains every day to find some herbs for Zhou Qing, and when he was ready to wait for Zhou Qing to get better, he took Zhou Qing back to the door.
Half a moon passed, and it was the afternoon, and the long shadow on the path was reflected, shaking outside the gate of the broken temple. Yang Hao was carrying a bamboo basket, Qin Feng was carrying a small wild boar in his hand, and there was talk and laughter on the road.
This is, Qi Yi suddenly jumped out of the broken temple, and shouted at Yang Hao and Qin Feng with a happy face.
"Senior brother, that young man is awake!"
Yang Hao smiled, although Qin Feng didn't have such a good impression of Zhou Qing, after all, he had hidden the Tianxin Snow Mushroom for Zhou Qing to eat for a long time, but he also showed joy.
My brothers and sisters have taken care of them for so long, and they have finally let this kid survive, how can they not like it.
The two hurriedly ran to the broken temple, and as soon as they entered the door, they saw Zhou Qing get up and kneel on the ground.
"Thank you three knights for saving your life!"
Zhou Qing's voice was very weak, and it had already taken him a lot of effort to get up this time.
"Little brother, don't be so polite!"
Yang Hao helped Zhou Qing lie down, then glanced at him a lot, and put his finger on Zhou Qing's pulse.
"Well, yes, yesterday your blood and qi in your body were a little insufficient, but today you are much better.
Little brother, can you tell me your name?"
Zhou Qing wanted to speak, but suddenly thought that his identity could not be exposed now, and after thinking about it, he could only tell the story he had made up in his heart before.
"The little one's name is Qin Zhou, and he is from Naluotong Town. Originally, he was hunting in the mountains with his brothers, but he met a group of martial arts people.
My brothers were killed, and I was struck by a sword.
The rest of the story, the small one is that I can't remember it clearly. If it weren't for the three benefactors, they would have died in that bamboo forest. ”
Zhou Qing's expression was slightly sentimental, and Yang Hao sighed.
"The world is unpredictable, mourn. This place is not too far from Luotong Town, Qingyang County, and when your injuries are better, I will send you a little entanglement, so that you can return to your hometown. ”
Qi Yi turned around and whispered to Qin Feng.
"Didn't the Heavenly Imperial Soldier and the Shadow Slasher all be killed by Xue Baisheng that day? I'm afraid that this child's brother also died at the hands of Xue Baisheng. ”
"Can you take me in?"
When Zhou Qing heard that Yang Hao asked him to return to his hometown, he immediately panicked.
"Don't you have no parents in your family?"
"My father has been away from the frontier for many years and has not returned, and my mother has never heard my father mention it. Hero, if you don't take me in, where will I return?"
Zhou Qing wanted to kneel down again, but a surge of blood in his chest churned, and suddenly a mouthful of blood spurted out.
"Little brother, don't panic!"
Qin Feng pressed Zhou Qing's shoulder, and Qi Yi wiped the blood on Zhou Qing's mouth.
"You kid, you're even more ruthless than I was back then. This life is still hanging on the ghost gate, you dare to be so cross. ”
Qi Yi looked at Yang Hao with expectant eyes.
"Senior brother, this Qin Zhou is so pitiful, let's take him to the door. It is also possible to let Qin Zhou learn some martial arts, so as not to fall into any disease in his body in the future. ”
Yang Hao was silent, and he was also measuring in his heart. The three of his senior brothers and sisters don't have much status, and now he rashly lets one more disciple in the door, I'm afraid that he will be squeezed out by the senior brothers again.
"Senior brother, he ate my Tianxin Snow Mushroom, I don't want to just let him go. Let's take him back, I'll look for Uncle Shi for a few days, and he can probably say a few words for us at that time." ”
Qin Feng couldn't help but speak for Zhou Qing.
"Anyway, this young man is only twelve or thirteen years old now, and his mind is not yet mature, so he is really not suitable for wandering alone. ”
Yang Hao looked at Zhou Qing, and then softly reassured.
"Qin Zhou, don't panic, if you really want to become a disciple of my Golden Bamboo Sect, the three of us will naturally do our best for you. It's just that if you go to Jinzhumen, you must remember to say less and say less, and everything has to be ordered by the three of us.
This martial arts sect is not what outsiders imagine, it is just a simple holy place for martial arts. ”
Listening to Yang Hao's patient teachings, Zhou Qing nodded, and in these days, he also saw the character of Yang Hao and the three of them clearly. My heart has long been full of reverence for them.
"Now that you can move, I'll take you to the door tomorrow. ”
Yang Hao patted Zhou Qing on the shoulder, turned to Qin Feng and said a few words, and Qi Yi walked over and scratched Zhou Qing's nose.
"Look, I'll just say that Senior Brother will never be so ruthless. From today onwards, you may be our little junior brother!"
Kiyi chuckled.
"Thank you, Sister Qiyi. ”
Zhou Qing didn't know what to say, so he just thanked him.
The next day, when the dew dissipated, Yang Hao carried Zhou Qing on his back and began to walk towards the mountains. This golden bamboo gate is on a bamboo mountain, it is said that the ancestor who opened up the sect in Dan Nian was an ordinary disciple of the martial arts sect, because a golden bamboo shoot was found in the mountain.
After taking it, his skills increased greatly, and since then he has opened a sect on his own, which is what he has today.
A hundred years ago, when the ancestor of Jinzhumen was still in business, it could be regarded as a beautiful scenery. But now after all these years, Jinzhumen has long since declined. There is no status in the rivers and lakes, not to mention, there is a lot of infighting in the door, and people from the outside world hear the news of Jinzhumen, not because of what good deeds Jinzhumen has done, but because of the jokes made by the infighting in the door.
Only then did he reach the mountainside, and the sound of hurried footsteps was suppressed.
The leader is a twenty-seven or eighteen-year-old man, this person has a sea of stars in his eyes, slanted eyebrows like a sword, and looks handsome and decent.
"Yang Hao, what are you three doing eating! Uncle Shi asked you to go back to the door earlier, but it was actually delayed until now. Under this mountain, is it really so fun?"
The man walked to Yang Hao's side, his eyes casually glanced at Qi Yi and Qin Feng, Qin Feng immediately shrunk his neck, looking as if he was extremely afraid of this person.
When his gaze stayed on Zhou Qing on Yang Hao's back, his eyes trembled slightly.
"It turned out that I came back with a burden!"
