The family said, "Madam, it's this little brother who came to find Lord Hong." Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 Hearing him say this, Li Yihang knew that this woman was Hong Renhai's mother, so he immediately saluted her respectfully and said, "Bow to Aunt Hong, Aunt Hong is good!" Mrs. Hong nodded, looked at Li Yihang a few times, and said, "Hello little brother, please take a seat." When he sat down, he asked, "Who is the little brother, and what is the matter with my child?"
Li Yihang's heart flashed with thoughts: "If I don't make up a reason randomly, I'm afraid that I won't be trusted by Mrs. Hong, and I won't be able to inquire about Hong Renhai's information, so I can't say it, so I have to lie to her." Then he said: "The little nephew is Li Yihang, a disciple of the Zhenwei Martial Arts Hall in Nanchang Prefecture, Jiangxi Province, and Senior Brother Hong Renhai has the same friendship, Senior Brother Hong suddenly left the martial arts hall on the eve of the Mid-Autumn Festival the year before last, and he doesn't know where to go, Senior Brother Renhai is our most beloved apprentice of Master Huang, Master Huang misses him and becomes ill, and our brothers and sisters are also very concerned about him, so Director Ma sent me to ask my uncle and parents for information about Senior Brother Renhai. The little nephew first went to Fuliang County and Jingdezhen a few years ago, only to learn that Uncle Hong had moved to the Tanzhou Prefecture to take up a post, and after many days, he came to Changsha County, and suddenly came to visit, which was really abrupt, but the little nephew hoped to learn the information of Senior Brother Renhai as soon as possible, so as to inform Master Huang and all the senior brothers and brothers who were far away in Jiangxi, he was presumptuous, and I hope that my aunt will forgive me!"
Seeing that his words were appropriate, and that he was worried about her son's safety, Mrs. Hong liked it in her heart, and said with a slight smile: "I really don't want to go to the trouble of the virtuous nephew running for my son's information, Renhai said goodbye without saying goodbye, so that Master Huang is sick, and all the brothers and sisters are worried, it is really a big mistake, please ask Li Xian's nephew to thank all the masters and brothers for Renhai's father and me!" Li Yihang stood up and said: " The aunt said seriously, the little nephew and the colleagues of the Zhenwei Martial Arts Hall will never blame Senior Brother Renhai a little, the good bird chooses the tree to perch, the virtuous minister chooses the master and does things, Senior Brother Renhai is clever, he chooses the Master is quite a correct choice, the little nephew came this time, just to know where Senior Brother Renhai went, so that he can go back to report to the master. ”
Mrs. Hong sighed and said, "Renhai children have been naughty since they were children, difficult to discipline, and when they are older, they are not sticky to the house, and they often do not come back for ten days and a half months. He left the Zhenwei Martial Arts Museum, we also learned recently, a few years ago he repaired a letter to send home, saying that he studied art in Tianmen Mountain, Wuling, Xiangxi, and could not come back to Yunyun during the Spring Festival, before my wife and I always thought that he was in the Nanchang Zhenwei Martial Arts Museum, but unexpectedly it has been away for more than a year, alas, this is not Xiaozi, such a big thing will not be discussed with us. We haven't seen him for two years!"
Li Yihang saw that she looked lonely, her voice was low, and she obviously missed her son very much, and said: "It turns out that Senior Brother Hong went to Tianmen Mountain to study art, which is very good, although the little nephew can't see Senior Brother's face, but when he learns his whereabouts, he has already completed Director Ma's explanation." Pondering: "I have to find Hong Renhai to find out the whereabouts of the names of the three big enemies, although I can't avenge my parents, but I can be regarded as having a whereabouts." "I made up my mind to go to Tianmen Mountain for a walk, and after chatting a few words, I stood up and said goodbye to Mrs. Hong. When Mrs. Hong saw his expression, she seemed to be intending to find her son, so she said, "Nephew Li Xian, do you want to go to Xiangxi for a walk?" Li Yihang said: "Exactly, the little nephew has some personal matters with Senior Brother Hong, and I want to ask him for some news." ”
Mrs. Hong said: "Nephew Li Xian, you don't have to wait a moment, although Renhai Boy wrote a letter to my second elder, but did not leave a specific address, I will write a letter immediately, if you can find him, you will transfer it to this unsuccessful son for me." Li Yihang thought to himself: "With his mother's letter, it is relatively convenient to find him, and I can pretend to be a messenger." He nodded his head in agreement.
After half an hour, Mrs. Hong wrote the letter, handed it to Li Yihang, and said to him: "If you can see Renhai, tell him to go home early to see his father, and in addition, you must warn him to be an upright person, and not to step into the side door crookedly, Li Xian, you tell him, this is what his mother wants to say to him the most." Li Yihang agreed, and saw that the envelope was written "Renhai Child's personal opening", the six words were beautiful and soft, and the seal was not painted with fire paint, nor glue, thinking that it was some words of concern. Mrs. Hong said: "Although the journey to Xiangxi is not very far, I heard that it is very difficult. He turned his head to a family member and said, "Liufu, lead a horse for Li Xian's nephew to ride." Li Yihang didn't shirk and said, "Thank you so much, aunt!"
Out of the Hongfu, it was already dark, and I thought: "Sleep, Ming'er will set off again, Sister Zhifei will be difficult to find for a while, and it will not be too late to come back and slowly search for it after finding out the news."
On the second day, he identified the path and rode his horse in a northwesterly direction. Three or four days later, when he came to a big town, he asked the locals, it turned out to be Changde City, he was amused: "I knew that I would go directly from Changde in Yuezhou to Liyang County, where Tianmen Mountain is located, without going around in a big circle, and I can still be with Miss Chen Juan and Chen on the road, laughing and having fun all the way, what kind of fun and happy is that? I don't know how many of them settled down there, if they have a heart, it must not be difficult to find, but the most important thing for me now is to find Hong Renhai, and everything will be talked about after I come back." "Don't delay, keep going.
When he arrived at the town at the foot of Detianmen Mountain, Li Yihang happened to meet a few people in white robes on the street, who were dressed very differently from ordinary people, and he was curious, not knowing what these people were doing.
He found an inn and lodged there, and gave the horse to the men in the stable to take care of it. When the shopkeeper entered the room to pour hot water, Li Yihang asked him: "May I ask the second brother of the shop, where is Tianmen Mountain?" Shopkeeper said: "Tianmen Mountain is located ten miles south of this town, guest officer, are you going there?" Li Yihang said: "I heard that Tianmen Mountain is the first sacred mountain in Xiangxi, I passed by here, and I want to see the true face of Tianmen." The shopkeeper suddenly whispered and said, "Little guest officer, you are from out of town, right? Li Yihang was stunned for a moment and asked, "Why?" The shopkeeper looked at the door, leaned closer, and whispered in his ear: "About five years ago, a group of people dressed in white came to Tianmen Mountain, and they drove all the mountain people away, and they occupied the mountain as the king, and outsiders were not allowed to approach and go up the mountain. If anyone does not listen to persuasion, he will be driven away at the least, or injured or killed at the worst, which is very domineering. ”
Li Yihang said: "Is there such a thing? This is a bandit and bandit act, and the imperial court doesn't care about it?" The shopkeeper said: "The mountain here is high and the emperor is far away, and the imperial court has the leisure to take care of it?" Besides, this group of people is all capable and strong in martial arts, and one hundred or dozens of people gather together, saying that one or two thousand officers and soldiers are not afraid. Li Yihang said: "Who are they?" The shopkeeper said: "They are dressed in white and claim to be a member of the sect called 'Guangfu Sect'. And when he had said that, he went out and closed the door.
Li Yihang thought to himself: "The person in the white robe I saw outside turned out to be a member of the Guangfu Sect, and the name of the Guangfu Sect is so strange, but I don't know what I want to recover? Hong Renhai probably joined the Guangfu Sect, otherwise how could he say that he studied art on Tianmen Mountain? He did not leave an address in his letter to his mother, presumably because he knew that no one dared to send a letter to Tianmen Mountain, so he simply did not leave an address. This group of people wore white robes and openly haunted the market, I am afraid that they are not traitors, but they do not allow outsiders to go up the mountain, but they have a mysterious and strange atmosphere. He slept in the room for a while, then went to the street for a stroll, thinking that since he had arrived at Tianmen Mountain, he must not be in a hurry, if he went straight up the mountain, saying that he was looking for Hong Renhai, even if I saw him, I couldn't blatantly ask him if the three people killed my parents and the whole family that day, and I had to think of a good plan.
You have to sneak up the mountain to investigate, first, you can get close to Hong Renhai, and second, you can secretly investigate the origin of this Guangfu Sect and those three people, but it is too dangerous to do so, and if it is discovered, I am afraid that there will be worries about life. It's better to ask those white-robed people to send a message to Hong Renhai, saying that his mother has a reply and asks him to come to the town to meet, which is safer, but if he can ask something, he can't guarantee it. He thought about it, but he couldn't think of a good way to get the best of both worlds.
was ignoring the place, and saw the white-robed people in front of the investment shop, at this time, behind them were a group of villagers with shovels and hoes in hand, carrying dustpans on their shoulders, it seemed that the white-robed people were looking for helpers, Li Yihang's heart flashed, these people seem to be working on Tianmen Mountain, and I just took the opportunity to mix up the mountain. Immediately rolled on the side of the road, stretched out his hand and scratched a few handfuls on the ground, and wiped his head and face repeatedly. After finishing it, he quietly followed the dozen or so villagers, who didn't know each other, and didn't pay attention to them when they saw that there were more people behind them.
