Wang Lie and Doctor Liu said goodbye to Qin Hu, went north to Pingliang, and walked for more than two hours in Baishiyuan.

It was late, the road met an ancient temple, called "Longjun Temple", people were sleepy and tired, they wanted to make a fire to rest, they tied their horses, entered the temple to take shelter from the wind and rested.

Wang Lie walked into the temple gate and saw that there was a dragon-headed armor god standing on the stone altar at the head of the temple, and the god tablet at his feet read, "Baishichuan Dragon Monarch Divine Throne"! Wang Lie thought to himself: "This is the river god worshiped by the local villagers." ”

"Oops......"

As soon as Doctor Liu got off the horse, he was out of breath and muttered: "Oops...... Oops...... After running such a long way, my old bones are about to be torn apart. "Doctor Liu is now in his prime, and he has been bumpy all the way, and he is indeed tired.

"Mr. Liu, please come in!" Wang Lie said and hurriedly helped Doctor Liu into the temple, swept the dust on the futon, let Doctor Liu sit down, found some dry firewood, lit a fire, and the cold ancient temple became brighter and warmer.

Wang Lie asked, "Are you feeling better?"

Doctor Liu rubbed his hands vigorously and said, "It's better, Wang Gongzi, you don't look like a gangster, but why do you want to do that kind of knife licking blood, and the business of hanging your head on your waist?"

Wang Lie said: "The old gentleman misunderstood, Wang Lie sold goods in the Southeast Ocean and had no intention of causing chaos, but the court wanted to put me to death. ”

Doctor Liu smiled: "That's strange, that's strange! ”

"Why, doesn't the old gentleman believe it?"

Doctor Liu said: "There are hundreds of millions of people in the world, but the court can't get along with you alone, what is the reason? The old man has lived a lot of years, and I still have to advise Wang Gongzi here, don't go against the court, if you really do something that hurts the heavens and reason, go to the government as soon as possible to confess your guilt and turn yourself in, or you can take out a loan and die, and serve as a border guard." The son is in his prime, and he has a lot to do, maybe he can make military achievements in the future and return to his hometown. ”

Wang Lie listened, took out two pieces of bread from his backpack and handed them to Doctor Liu, and said, "Old man, eat some dry food and rest early, there are still 100 miles in Pingliangfu City, and we will continue to rush tomorrow." ”

Doctor Liu shook his head and said, "That's it, the little old man is soft-spoken, and he has said everything that should be said, and Wang Gongzi refuses to listen, so that's it! Tomorrow morning, you take your Yangguan Road, and I will cross my single-plank bridge, so let's separate." After Doctor Liu finished speaking, he took the dough and raised it with a thin branch, and roasted it on the fire.

"This ...... After all, Mr. Liu is old, and he walks alone outside, if there is a mistake, how can it be good?"

Doctor Liu smiled and said: "Hehe, Lao Er, I am the one who cures diseases and saves lives, and my friends on the road call Lao Er and me angry to death, what else is missing, it is difficult to fall me?"

"Wang Lie is not referring to those minor illnesses and injuries, but to ......"

When Wang Lie said this, he thought that Doctor Liu should be afraid that he was a prisoner.

"Alright, old man, take care all the way!"

Seeing that Wang Lie understood what he meant, Doctor Liu didn't say much, nibbled on a few mouthfuls of bread, drank a pot of water, and then lay down on the futon and fell asleep.

In the book, it is implied that Dr. Liu has been practicing medicine in Fengxiang for more than 30 years, and now he has earned enough money, and it is time to go back to his hometown to enjoy the blessings。

......

Longjun Ancient Temple, the second watch.

There was a knock on the temple door.

Wang Lie woke up, approached the door and asked, "Who is it?"

"Qin Yi greets Uncle Shi!"

"Nephew?"

"It's the little nephew!"

Wang Lie opened the door, saw Qin Yi kneeling on the ground, helped him up and asked, "Why are the nephews here......?"

Qin Yi said: "Uncle Shi doesn't have to worry, my father has returned to Linyou safely. ”

"Come in and talk. Wang Lie made a silent gesture and said softly: "Be quiet, Mr. Liu has fallen asleep." ”

"Yes, Uncle Shi!" Qin Yi also whispered, Wang Lie let him into the temple, sat on the futon, lit the oil lamp with a fire fold, and handed Qin Yi a pot of water.

In fact, at this time, Divine Doctor Liu had been woken up by this movement, but he didn't get up to greet Qin Yi, and continued to sleep there, listening to them.

"Nephew, why is he here alone?" asked Wang Lie.

Qin Yi also ran a long way, raised his head and drank a big sip of water, and said: "Uncle Shi, on the way back, the little nephew thought about it, and in the future, he plans to follow Uncle Shi to travel all over the world and explore the rivers and lakes!"

"What did the nephew say?"

"The little nephew won't go back to Linyou's hometown, and in the future, I want to follow Uncle Shi to travel all over the world and explore the rivers and lakes!" Qin Yi repeated.

Wang Lie waved his hand: "It must not be feasible! The nephew came out alone, Ling Zun and Ling Tang must be worried, and they should go home quickly!"

Qin Yi's face was pale and said, "Uncle Wang Shi doesn't know, the little nephew came all the way, and it was my father's approval. ”

"What do you mean by that?" asked Wang Lie.

Qin Yi said: "Since we separated from Uncle Shi and the divine doctor during the day, we have traveled twenty miles, and my father and his old man suddenly patted his head and said, 'Oh no!' What are you saying?"

"Why?" asked Wang Lie.

Qin Yi said: "My father said, Uncle Haicheng saw that Guanzhong was poor, anxious for justice and righteousness, and scattered all his assets, so it was rare to open his mouth and ask me for a loan for the road expenses, but later the officers and soldiers raided Zhuangzi, and I didn't have time to withdraw money from the account room, so I hurriedly dispersed again! When the little nephew heard this, he immediately asked his father for help, turned back from the original road to catch up, and sent a little thin gold, and asked Uncle Shi to accept it. ”

After Qin Yi finished speaking, he presented a brocade bag with both hands, and inside was a heavy amount of gold.

It turned out that Meng Qiu was still thinking about this, and Wang Lie only said it casually at that time, not wanting to go through such a big effort. Wang Lie said.

"Uncle Shi, the little nephew also asked his father for instructions, this time he came out, he followed Uncle Shi to travel around, and he can also see for a long time! Hehe, I'm ashamed to say that the little nephew has never been far away!" Qin Yi said with a smile.

"So, Ling Zun agreed?"

"This is natural! My father said, whether it is character or martial arts, Uncle Shi can be a master of my generation, a gentleman should see the sages and think together, Uncle Shi took me to walk the rivers and lakes, my father is relieved of 10,000 hearts!"

Wang Lie thought for a while and said: "Wang Lie's trip to Kunlun is really important, or it will take a year and a half, or even longer, and Qinghai in the northwest, a desolate and bitter cold place since ancient times, is not as easy and pleasant as touring the mountains and rivers, I see that as soon as the sky dawns, the nephew should go back as soon as possible!"

Qin Yi smiled and said: "Okay, good, this trip to Kunlun is exactly what I want, according to legend, Kunlun is the ancestor of all mountains, the head of the dragon vein, Mu Tianzi and the Queen Mother of the West traveled to Yaochi together, it has been a peerless story, now I Qin Yi is going, I want to have a good experience." ”

"So, the nephew really wants to go with him?"

Qin Yi said: "This is natural, the little nephew is here, if you go back at this time, the limelight is tight, if you run into those officers and soldiers, wouldn't it be even more troublesome." ”

Wang Lie thought to himself: "It's not a problem to protect this late life all the way, maybe in a few days, he can't stand the pain of detention and travel, and he shouts to go home." He nodded.

"Little nephew Uncle Xie Shicheng is complete!" Qin Yixi said, putting down the kettle, "Uncle Shi, there is still something that my father entrusted me to give to Uncle Shi!"

"What?"

Qin Yi touched his waist for a while, took out a musket, and said: "This is the spoils captured by my father's enemy Chen Sipan at sea, my father said that Chen Sipan was defeated in the hands of Uncle Shi after all, this thing should be returned to Uncle Shi, if you encounter danger on the road in the future, you can have a thing to defend yourself." ”

Wang Lie took it and saw that it was a Western reed wheel gun, the body of the gun was not more than a foot long, and it was inlaid with gold and silver, which was exquisite. I couldn't help but praise: "This thing should be produced in Tessie, it is triggered by flint, and it is extremely powerful!"

"My father said that the name of this thing is 'palm thunder'!"

"Well, although it's a good name, it's a pity that it was used by the villains in the evil way, and I don't know how many innocent lives were killed. ”

Qin Yi said: "My father said that if this thing is used properly, it can be better than the strongest bow and crossbow and hidden weapon in the world, Uncle Shi, do you say it is so evil?

"Well, when it comes to weapons in the world, they should have their own merits, and Wang Lie is also difficult to distinguish. Wang Lie said, handed the Western gun back to Qin Yi, and said: "This thing is a burden to bring on Wang Lie's body, it is better to keep it by the nephew first, and then take it from the nephew if there is a need in the future." ”

Qin Yi agreed, took the musket, and said, "Little nephew obeys!"

Wang Lie said: "It's not early, the nephew should rest quickly, and he will have to hurry early tomorrow morning!"

"Okay!" Qin Yi hugged the futon and fell asleep.

On the side, Doctor Liu pretended to be asleep and eavesdropped, and said in his heart, Qin Hu escaped by luck, and it was not troublesome enough, and he asked his son to pester Wang Lie, and then he would catch all the officers and soldiers, but he must not set himself on fire, it seems that I will leave the Qin family at this time, and it will be considered to be a clear separation from them as soon as possible, which is really extremely wise!

The lamp oil burned out, and the three of them went to sleep again.

......

Longjun Ancient Temple, five watches.

Doctor Liu woke up, and before he reached the end of the day, it was still a dark and snowy night outside.

Looking up, Wang Lie and Qin Yi were also sleeping soundly at this time.

Doctor Liu got up quietly, picked up his bags, tiptoed open the temple door, walked out, and closed it again.

Doctor Liu is returning to his hometown at this time, and his heart is like an arrow, and he is leaving at this time, so as not to have anything to do with those two people at dawn. At this point in the book, Doctor Liu led the horse and went on the road at night......

Leaving the ancient temple, there is a snowfield in front of you, called Shiraishihara.

Away from the snow on the plain, in the vast expanse, there is another river, from west to east, horizontal in front of you, called Shiraishi River.

After this river, it is the jurisdiction of Pingliang Mansion, and the hometown of Doctor Liu is in Pingliang Mansion City, which is still a hundred miles away.

It was the middle of winter, and the surface of the Shiraishi River, which was several feet wide, no longer flowed, but had formed a solid ice several feet thick, and the ice surface was as smooth as a mirror, enough for people to walk.

But when Doctor Liu saw it, he was still worried about stepping on the ice, so he led his mount, held a torch, and gently stepped on the glacier.

Dark clouds cover the moon, and the sky and the earth are dark like chaos.

Doctor Liu led the horses, step by step, walking on thin ice.

Seeing that he was about to walk to the other side of the glacier, at this moment-

"Old man......"

I heard a man's voice suddenly in the darkness ahead......
