On the post road leading to Yuncheng in Puzhou, Shanxi, three people rode horses and walked slowly.

It was Ji Longfeng who started the way, and I saw him humming a little song, shaking his head, looking very leisurely and comfortable.

Yu Hongzhi followed him, expressionless, concentrating on dealing with a large cake in his hand.

And the one who fell last was the listless and depressed Gao Jie.

He obviously won the bet, but in the end he was exploited by the cunning Ji Longfeng, and Gao Jie, who had always thought he was smart, was ruthlessly defeated, depressed, and his spirit seemed sluggish.

Ji Longfeng didn't want to see Gao Jie because he was tall and handsome. However, after experiencing the incident of the Pufu Temple, Gao Jie's perception has changed drastically. When Gao Jie was in the midst of life and death, he was not only calm and wise, but also full of wisdom, so that the three of them could save the day, and what is even more commendable is that he did not abandon Ji Longfeng because he was a person who had nothing to do with him, and still tried his best to save him, which made Ji Longfeng, who had always been strange and withdrawn and inferior, feel warm. He lived for twenty years, and for the first time experienced the true love of helping friends in times of need. So, no matter how bad Gao Jie's face was and how bad his mood was, he still relied on him in vain and spontaneously became a member of a small team of three.

Ji Longfeng looked back at Gao Jie, who was hanging at the end of the line, about to die, and was secretly happy in his heart, rode a horse to his side, arched his shoulders, and said with a smile: "Xiaojie, there is something I don't understand yet, I have always wanted to ask you!"

Because he took the initiative to be one of them, Ji Longfeng even called Gao Jie from the original "Little Orion" and "Gao Jie" to the current "Little Jie".

Gao Jie glanced at Ji Longfeng, and said weakly: "Young Master Ji, can you stop teasing you, you are a talented, talented, shameless, shameless, faceless and skinless peerless proud son, I have long been defeated under your hands, what else can I teach you?!"

Ji Longfeng didn't care about the sarcasm in Gao Jie's words at all, and still smiled happily: "You are too awarded, I am just a good move, a little better, not as powerful as you say!

Gao Jie hesitated for a long time before pretending to reply mysteriously: "That's my master's method that can't be revealed! Anyway, as long as I'm awake and know what acupoints others have ordered on me, I will definitely be able to unravel it by myself!"

Ji Longfeng's face was full of envy, and he exclaimed: "Your master must be a peerless master like a fairy, and he can teach you such an incredible magic method, it is so worshipable!"

Gao Jie secretly said in his heart: "The secret of the White Lotus Nine Lives, Master told me not to reveal it casually, so I had to make up a nonsense to deal with you!"

It turned out that after Ali and the others left, Gao Jie silently used the "control" skill of the sixth layer of the White Lotus Nine Lives, and used his mental power to manipulate a stone in the temple, which hit the corresponding acupoints on his body, and quietly unlocked the acupoints of Ali Point. Of course, if Gao Jie didn't know which acupoints he had been pointed, even with the help of the only mysterious telekinesis in the world, he would never be able to solve the acupoints successfully.

Ji Longfeng didn't know what Gao Jie was thinking, he suddenly remembered the nameless old Taoist he met in Zhongnan Mountain, so he sighed faintly: "Actually, my master is also a peerless master, but I don't know why he suddenly left me, my martial arts have reached a critical point, no one will guide me, and it will be difficult to make an inch of progress again!"

Gao Jie listened to Ji Longfeng talk about his master, and slowly became a little interested, he sat up straight and asked, "Did you say that you are the master who taught you marksmanship?"

Ji Longfeng nodded, and said with a lonely expression: "Yes, he is an old man, he can defeat me with one finger, and he is a hundred times stronger than that Ali's martial arts, but it's a pity that I only studied with him for more than a year, and he didn't even fully practice the Xinyi Liuhe marksmanship, so he suddenly disappeared." I waited for him on Zhongnan Mountain for more than a month before I had no choice but to go down the mountain and return home. ”

When Gao Jie heard about his experience, he suddenly remembered the nameless old man he met by the Sand Lake in Ningxia in his previous life. At that time, the old man also taught him the mysterious exercises for a short time and then suddenly disappeared, and he himself had been waiting by the lake.

A similar experience made Gao Jie feel an inexplicable sense of closeness to Ji Longfeng, and the helplessness of being entangled by him gradually faded, and he asked with concern: "Then didn't you look for him again?"

Ji Longfeng sniffed and replied, "My master is a master who sees the head of the dragon but does not see the tail, it is estimated that I can only find him when he really wants to see me!

Gao Jie said secretly: "Eighty percent of them are angry with you, and if I can stay with you for more than a year, this old Taoist can be regarded as a profound person!"

He continued to ask: "I see that your marksmanship is exquisite, both offensive and defensive, as long as you cultivate diligently and diligently, you will definitely succeed, is there any problem?"

Ji Longfeng shook his head and said: "Since my master left, my marksmanship has improved very slowly, and I always feel that the most critical thing is that he didn't have time to teach me, but I can't figure it out myself!"

Gao Jie asked, "Your marksmanship is called the Xinyi Liuhe Gun?"

Ji Longfeng said: "Well, it's called the Heart Liuhe Gun!"

Gao Jie asked, "What does Xinyi and Liuhe mean?"

Ji Longfeng said: "Liuhe refers to the combination of the six forms of chicken legs, eagle catching, dragon body, bear arms, tiger hugging head, and thunder; ”

Gao Jie didn't quite understand Liuhe, but when he heard Ji Longfeng explain the "mind", he suddenly remembered what kind of kung fu movie he had watched in later generations, which seemed to be about a male protagonist who spent a lot of time observing the form of animals in order to practice a boxing technique, and finally succeeded in cultivating. It seems that what is that kung fu called, it is not the word mind, but it should be similar to the kung fu that Ji Longfeng said!

So Gao Jie thought for a while and said: "First of all, I don't understand your martial arts at all, so what I'm talking about below is just one of my thoughts, you think it's best to help you, if you think it's useless, just treat me as a fart, okay?!"

Ji Longfeng naturally didn't have any hope for Gao Jie, just nodded casually and said, "Okay!

Gao Jie coughed and said: "Your marksmanship is derived from the various forms of ten animals, and you have learned all the moves and skills from Lao Dao in Zhongnan Mountain for more than a year, but you have not neglected a question: have you seen or thought about how tigers, eagles, and so on pounce, run, jump, and fly? Have you really experienced the artistic conception of this?"

Ji Longfeng was listening to Gao Jie's words casually, but when he heard half of it, his body suddenly shook, and he began to listen attentively. And when he had heard it completely, he seemed to be petrified, and he remained motionless, letting the white horse under his crotch carry him staggering forward, and on several occasions he was almost jolted off the horse.

Gao Jie saw his appearance, estimated that his words had played a role, Ji Longfeng should have entered a state of "enlightenment", he understood that for people who practice martial arts, this state is very rare, so he was silent, riding a horse to follow his side, and signaled Yu Hongzhi not to disturb quietly.

Half an hour later, when the sun saw that it was about to go down, Ji Longfeng suddenly burst out laughing: "Hahaha! I finally understand! I finally understand!"

Gao Jie heard the laughter, and then he was relieved, and a relieved smile appeared on his face.

After laughing wildly for a long time, Ji Longfeng turned his head sideways and looked at Gao Jie, looking up and down, left and right, and looking at him vigorously.

Gao Jie's heart was furious, and he hurriedly shouted: "Young Master Ji, what are you doing? Are you crazy from hunger? See clearly! I'm not roasting chicken and wine!"

Ji Longfeng suddenly had tears in his eyes, and said to Gao Jie in a choked voice: "Xiaojie, you are my lucky star! The threshold that I have not been able to cross for a long time in martial arts, under your reminder, it is like years of constipation has been suddenly cured, suddenly enlightened, and extremely happy! From now on, you are my own brother, and I will never leave you!"

After hearing this, Gao Jie was stunned, firstly, Ji Longfeng's analogy was very disgusting, and secondly, he was also surprised that this freak was not inferior to his own comprehension.

In fact, it was precisely because of Gao Jie's words that Ji Longfeng finally became a shocking generation of martial arts masters in the future.

In the evening, the trio rested in a small town.

But this night, Gao Jie didn't rest well, because Ji Longfeng bought an old hen.

He didn't buy chickens to eat, but to study them in his room. All night, the roosters in his room were crowing non-stop, and Gao Jie's ears were sensitive, where could he still sleep, he simply meditated and practiced the White Lotus Treasure Book for one night.

When it was time to set off in the morning, in addition to Yu Hongzhi's spirits, Gao Jie and Ji Longfeng both had two big panda eyes, and they were dozing off on the horse, and even so, Ji Longfeng was still holding an old hen in his arms that was tossed by him to death.

Yuncheng was known as Hedong in ancient times, the hometown of Guan Yu, a famous general of Shu Han in the Three Kingdoms, located in the center of the Yellow River Golden Triangle at the junction of Shanxi, Shaanxi and Henan provinces, and belonged to the southern Jin region. Yuncheng is the "root of China" and "the state of integrity", and is known as "the city of salt affairs" and "the city of salt transportation" in history. The first large-scale war in Chinese history, called the Battle of Zhuolu, took place in the Yuncheng area of the middle reaches of the Yellow River, known as the birthplace of the Chinese nation.

Yuncheng has a long history and a gathering of humanities, and since ancient times, there have been countless generals and scholars. In ancient times, there were historical legends such as Shun cultivating the mountains, Yu chiseling the dragon gate, Houji harvesting, ancestor silkworm raising, the Yellow Emperor fighting Chi You, etc., the rich Jia Dashang Yidun in the Spring and Autumn Period, Zhou Bo in the Han Dynasty, Guan Yu, the famous general of the Three Kingdoms, Guo Pu, the famous writer Guo Pu in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, the philosopher and educator Wen Zhongzi and Wang Tong in the late Sui Dynasty, Wang Bo, the head of the "Four Masterpieces" in the early Tang Dynasty, Liu Zongyuan, one of the eight masters of ancient literature in the Tang and Song dynasties, Yang Yuhuan, the favorite concubine of Xuanzong in the Tang Dynasty, Xue Rengui, Zhang Shousi, Pei Du, the prime minister of Tang Xianzong, and Sima Guang, a famous politician and historian in the Song Dynasty, are all historical celebrities in this place.

Gao Jie waited all the way until noon before entering the Yuncheng boundary. The border of Yuncheng is sparsely populated, and they can't find a place to eat and eat, and Gao Jie and the three of them walked for another half an hour before they saw a temple covering a large area.

Walking to the front of the temple, I saw that the gate was engraved with the three words "Guandi Temple", and from time to time you can see people coming in and out of the temple. Gao Jie was overjoyed, greeted him, and led the horse with Ji Longfeng and Yu Hongzhi into the temple.

This Guandi temple is very huge, many buildings are sitting in the north and facing south, there are various courtyards and pavilions such as the Jieyi Garden, the main temple, the noon gate, the Chongning Hall and the Spring and Autumn Building, and the incense is also quite vigorous. After Gao Jie and the three of them entered the temple, they went straight to the dining hall, ordered a table of vegetarian food, and devoured it.

In the dining room, Gao Jie suddenly raised his eyes and looked out of the dining hall. I saw an old man floating into the gate of the Guandi Temple, he was dressed in a white robe, covered with a black horse clip, wearing a white round hat, and holding a strange-shaped weapon that looked like a stick instead of a stick, it was Abdul Ali.
