The two chatted speculatively, and before they knew it, it was already time for Shen, when a few young students dressed as farmers came in with hoes and buckets, and Tao Gong hurriedly said: "Qingxi Dao Chief, these are a few bad criminals." ”

He said to a few juniors: "This Taoist Trombone Qingxi is a master of the Dao, let's ask the Taoist Qingxi to stay for a few more days, and ask for a lot of advice." Several juniors hurriedly clasped their fists and saluted, Xie Mingzhou couldn't sit still, so he also stood up and saluted back.

Tao Gong called the two to go to the stove room to cook, the other three stayed down to chat together, it turned out that this Tao Gong was the old man of the Ming Dynasty, the Qing soldiers did not want to be bullied by the Tartars after entering the customs, and they were powerless to resist, so they brought a few students to live in seclusion in the mountains, self-cultivation and self-food, and write poems and scriptures in idleness, and they were quite comfortable.

After half an hour, several descendants put the meals on the table, all of them were farmhouse vegetables and vegetables, there was no meat, but it was in line with Xie Mingzhou's taste, Tao Gong sighed: "I have to meet a master today, but there is no wine, it's a pity!"

Xie Mingzhou said: "What's so difficult about this?" After that, he took a large pot of wine from Qiankun Pei, and took some fresh peaches and plums, and several people were dumbfounded, and they came back to their senses for a while, and they all said that this was immortal art, and then everyone believed that this Taoist chief was indeed not a person who could not afford to eat.

After drinking and eating, Tao Gong and his disciples were in high spirits, so they lit a fire in the courtyard for lighting, and made tea again, several of them were scholars, although they did not cultivate the Tao, but they also read the "Tao Te Ching", "I Ching" and other scriptures, each with their own opinions.

The mountain breeze is blowing, the fire is blazing, everyone gathers around to taste tea and talk about the Tao, and they all feel that it is a great joy in life!

After two days, Xie Mingzhou was about to say goodbye, Tao Gong and all the disciples were full of fists, turned their heads and thought about stopping and practicing for a few days, and when the true qi was sufficient, they would hurry quickly, so as not to delay the trip, so they stayed on the spot half-pushed and half-stayed.

He practiced at four o'clock every day, and the rest of the time helped to take care of the vegetable garden, and then practiced boxing, swords, and spells, and his face gradually grew flesh and brilliance, and his life passed quickly.

On this day, he was drinking tea with Tao Gong in the courtyard, Xie Mingzhou suddenly looked moved and said: "Tao Gong, there are more than a dozen people five miles away from here, and they are being chased by the Tartars. If you have the heart, you can row a boat to save them. ”

Tao Gong was now very convinced of Xie Mingzhou, and when he heard that the Tartars were going to harm people again, he hurriedly rocked the boat to save people, and after an hour, he brought in about a dozen people.

Three were soaking wet, but they came up on the boat because they couldn't sit on the boat, and two were wounded, one by an arrow and the other by a knife, both in the lower back, and bleeding half of their bodies, obviously not lightly injured.

As soon as he entered the door, Tao Gong hurriedly shouted, "Daoist Qingxi, please help treat their injuries." ”

Xie Mingzhou stood up, tore the clothes of the young man who had been hit by the arrow, looked at it, and said, "It's okay." ”

One claw pulled out the arrow of the arrow, pinched the finger of the sword in his right hand, and did not use any cinnabar, he directly drew two talismans on the wound, and drank "pardon", and after a while, he saw that the blood had stopped, and the wound slowly began to grow.

When the man who was wounded by the knife saw such a miraculous effect, he hurriedly stood up, asked Xie Mingzhou to draw another talisman, and then cast a spell, and it was all right.

This group of people had heard Tao Gong say that there was an immortal chief in the family and called him to come over to save people, but they still didn't believe it, but now they saw such a miraculous talisman, and they were greatly impressed, and they knelt on the ground one after another, thanking them for saving their lives.

Xie Mingzhou helped up one by one, everyone talked about it, it turned out to be a few monks who ran out after the fire Shaolin Temple, originally Han Liu, who came from the other side of the sea, and now has re-established a Hong Gang, earlier in the lake, the north of the area, even down several counties, but was defeated when fighting Wuchang, was chased by the Qing army all the way, along the way the government also continued to send people to join, only to this situation.

Although Xie Mingzhou was not very interested in these things, he always thought that he was also a Han person, and when he saw that these people fought against the Tartars regardless of their lives, he also had some admiration, so he took cinnabar yellow paper, drew a few charms to stop bleeding and reduce injuries, and handed them over, and passed on the method of use.

A few people are grateful, you must know that for them, every day the sword comes and goes, with these few talismans, it is much more effective than the silver.

When a few disciples of Tao Gong came back, it was a lively time, several people cleaned up the meal, Xie Mingzhou took the wine, a group of people chatted while eating, and when it came to the rise, they all felt like-minded, and more than a dozen people drank blood wine, kowtowed and became brothers, in order to overthrow the Manchu Tartar Dynasty one day.

Although Xie Mingzhou also admired this group of enthusiastic men, he now threw his whole body and mind into attaining immortality, where could he put more energy into other aspects?

The next day, Xie Mingzhou felt that Zhenqi had been refined sufficiently, and when he heard that there was war in Hubei, he was even more worried about the two apprentices, so he said goodbye to everyone. This time he was determined to leave, and everyone couldn't stay, so they saw him go out of the yard, and he was gone, shaking his head and sighing.

Xie Mingzhou traveled all the way, but there was nothing on the road, but the officers and soldiers along the way were very strict, but seeing that he didn't bring weapons and was dressed brightly, he didn't look like a rebel thief, so he would be let go if he asked a few words.

This day to Hankou, and find someone to ask the next distance, it turns out that the river next to it is the Yangtze River, here has entered Hubei, to Luoyang although has gone to most of the distance, but there are still more than a thousand miles, Xie Mingzhou rested for a night, the next day by boat across the river, continue to hurry.

As soon as he got ashore and walked one or two hundred miles, he faintly heard the sound of shouting and killing in front of him, Xie Mingzhou quickened his pace and caught up, and saw a group of Qing soldiers fighting around a dozen people, those ten or so people looked very strong, three of them seemed to be the leaders of them, two were swordsmen, and one was empty-handed.

But this empty-handed killing of the enemy is faster than others, the Qing army raised a knife to chop, he did not dodge, casually broke the knife and threw it aside, shouting and rushing to kill, the Qing army was killed and injured several after a while, but one fell, and the other came up again, the knife split and the gun poked, and in a blink of an eye, the dozen or so people were killed two or three.

The empty-handed man shouted: "Brother He, Brother Bao, you took the brothers to retreat to the mountains first, and Dun Che and I resisted Qinggou." ”

The man with the knife shouted: "Brother Zhou, as soon as we leave, you will definitely not be able to escape your life, everyone is fighting here." ”

Another man with a knife said: "Brother He, don't say desperate words now! Brothers, they are all following me, let's only kill in one place, and run to the mountains when we kill them, and then kill the dog after leaving our lives!"

More than a dozen people shouted: "Brother Bao, let's kill the dog now!" Qi Qi hugged behind Brother Bao and rushed forward to kill.
