Chapter Fifty-Nine: Spring Encounters

Wang Jing took Zhang Wuji and Zhou Zhiruo and went straight to the bank of the Hanshui River. Zhou Zhiruo only thought that Wang Jing took her back to see Lao Zhou, and she didn't say much. Zhang Wuji asked curiously: "Big brother, aren't you going to the Western Regions, what are you doing here?"

Wang Jing replied: "Wait for someone!" Without further ado, he estimated that Chang Yuchun didn't come over so soon and wanted to stay for a while, so he instructed Zhou Zhiruo to call Lao Zhou to come out to ferry, and by the way, he sent food to a few of them.

In this way, Wang Jing, Zhou Zhiruo and Zhang Wuji lived on the bank of the Hanshui River for a month. In a month's time, Zhou Zhiruo was practicing Huashan's basic internal skills and Huashan's basic swordsmanship, the little girl was extremely talented and diligent, and soon she played decently. Zhang Wuji has been practicing the Pure Yang Wuji Gong taught by Zhang Sanfeng in order to lay a good foundation, and when he finds the Jiuyang Divine Skill, he can inherit it and speed up the progress.

Wang Jing stood quietly by the river, thinking of the magical place of Hanshui in the original book, and now it was opened by him, and he couldn't help but sigh secretly. He has also been practicing diligently this month, and his internal strength is gradually recovering. Calculating the time, Chang Yuchun should almost be over.

Sure enough, the next morning, a loud voice came from afar on the river: "Hurry up and stop the boat, hand over the child obediently, and the Buddha will spare your life, otherwise don't be strange and ruthless." The voice came from the waves, and it was clear to the ears, and it was obvious that the internal strength of the caller was not weak.

Wang Jing raised his head, only to see two river boats, like flying rowing, staring, and saw a bearded man sitting on the tip of a small boat in front of him, rowing quickly with both hands, and a little boy sitting in the cabin. There was a larger ship in the back, and in the boat stood four monks, as well as seven or eight Mongolian military attachés. The military attachés picked up the planks and paddled with them. The bearded man was very strong, and as soon as the oars were pulled, the small boat rushed to the sky, but after all, there were many people on the boat behind, and the two boats were getting closer and closer. After a short time, the military attachés and monks bent their bows and arrows and shot at the big man. But I heard the feather arrows breaking through the air and whining.

Wang Jing asked Lao Zhou to take Zhang Wuji and Zhou Zhiruo to retreat to the back of the riverbank, picked up the wood pulp by himself, and quickly rowed over.

Suddenly I heard a miserable cry of "ah", and the boy in the boat was hit by an arrow in his vest. The bearded man was frightened, and when he leaned down to look, he was hit by arrows one after another in his shoulder and back, and the wooden oars in his hands were uncertain, and he fell into the middle of the river, and did not move when he boarded the boat. The big boat caught up in an instant, and seven or eight Mongolian military attachés and monks jumped onto the small boat. The bearded man was unyielding, punching and kicking, struggling to resist.

Wang Jing shouted, "Stop!" quickly wrenched the oar, rocked the ferry closer, followed his body, jumped lightly, and floated towards the boat.

Two Mongolian military attachés swished two arrows and shot at him, Wang Jing ran the broken arrow style, and the two arrows turned around instantly, where had the two military attachés seen such a strange thing, the arrows shot out actually returned, and they couldn't react and were killed immediately. Wang Jing stepped on the board of the boat, showed his body, like a ghost, and floated towards the monks and military attachés, and the sword light flashed in front of each of them, but in an instant, those monks and military attachés all fell, only to see a bright red blood stain on the neck, and after a while, the blood spurted out, and the situation was very terrifying.

The big man held the boy's body in one hand and rowed in the other, and soon reached the shore. When he got ashore, Lao Zhou hurriedly brought some cloth tape and wrapped the wound of the big man.

Wang Jing deliberately asked: "I don't know what Brother Tai is called, why was he chased and killed by the Tartars?"

The big man first thanked him and said: "Thank you little brother for saving me, I often meet spring in the next year, but it is 、、、 but it is 、、、" but he didn't dare to finish. He saw Wang Jing doing such martial arts, and the people in the Ming Sect had never heard of this kind of young master, and he thought that he must be a famous and decent person, if he said that he was a person in the Ming Sect, he would not allow the other party to turn his face.

Wang Jing knew this, so he said: "Brother Chang is loyal to the young master, and he will not retreat from the battle of the Tartars, and he is a hero, why don't you even dare to say your origin?"

Chang Yuchun was provoked by Wang Jing, so he returned: "Little brother, you are Chang's life-saving benefactor, don't hide it, Chang is a member of the Ming Sect, I'm afraid that you will misunderstand, so it's inconvenient to tell you." ”

Wang Jing laughed: "Brother Chang is not afraid that when I see a person in the Ming Sect, I will kill with a sword, Wang kills, only looks at whether I should kill or not, and never looks at the identity of the other party!"

Chang Yu Chunqi said: "Brother Wang is really insightful! I see that Brother Wang is strong in martial arts, I don't know what to call it?"

"Under Wang Jing!" replied Wang Jing.

"It turned out to be Wang Shaoxia, who defeated the Shaolin Kongwen master, no wonder!" Chang Yuchun looked abrupt.

Wang Jing didn't expect that what he did in Wudang is now known to everyone, but he didn't know that the various sects and factions who went to Wudang for the banquet that day had already publicized his achievements to avoid the disciples who were not long-sighted.

Wang Jing said again: "Brother Chang, since this child is dead, let's go to the ground." This is not a place to stay for a long time, so let's avoid it first when we bury it, in case the Tartars come after it again. ”

Chang Yuchun was very sad and said: "Hey, I escorted the little master south from Xinyang, and on the way I fought several times with the eagle talon sent by the Tartars to hunt down, but I didn't expect to be able to protect the little master. After saying that, he took off the child's clothes, dug a pit and buried it on the spot, and did not dare to erect a monument.

Wang Jing knew the Mingjiao custom of "coming with red strips and going with red stripes", but Zhang Wuji, Zhou Zhiruo, and Lao Zhou didn't know about them, and said in their hearts: "This person is really strange, what do you do when you bury people stripped naked." ”

Chang Yuchun buried the little boy, and several people went down the river until the second watch in the evening, and they arrived at the Taiping store below. Wang Jing ordered the ship to be anchored far away from the town. Lao Zhou went to the town to buy food, cooked food, and opened it on the small table in the cabin, chicken, meat, fish, and vegetables, a total of four large bowls.

Chang Yuchun didn't move the fish and meat, but he just ate the bowl of green vegetables, but Wang Jing and the others couldn't help but be fishy, Zhang Wuji and Zhou Zhiruo muttered to themselves: "This person is really strange, he doesn't eat meat, and he is so tall." Chang Yuchun explained when he heard it, saying that he worshiped the Bodhisattva so he didn't eat meat, but Wang Jing knew that this was also the rule of Mingjiao.

During the meal, Wang Jing asked: "Since Brother Chang is a member of the Ming Sect, he must know that Hu Qingniu, the Butterfly Valley Medical Immortal, and the little brother Zhang next to me has cold poison in his body, and I want to ask Hu Yixian to help him heal it, but I heard that Hu Yixian has a very strange temper, I don't know if Brother Chang can help!"

Chang Yuchun said: "Hu Qingniu is my uncle, I was also seriously injured this time, and I was about to go to him for treatment. This Brother Zhang will go with me, although Master Hu has never treated outsiders, but thanks to Brother Wang's rescue, he is very gracious. Hu Shibo had to make an exception. If he refuses to do anything, I will not break with him. ”

Wang Jing replied: "Brother Chang, this little brother Zhang is the grandson of the White Eyebrow Eagle King of the Heavenly Eagle Sect, presumably Hu Qingniu is not good at standing by for the sake of the Eagle King's face. I have some important things to go to near Butterfly Valley, I don't know if Brother Chang can bring him with me, and I promise not to reveal the location of Butterfly Valley. ”

Chang Yuchun naturally patted his chest and agreed, and when it was dawn the next day, several people hired a river boat and put it directly in Hankou, and after arriving in Hankou, he changed to a Yangtze River boat and went down the river east along the river. The butterfly valley where Hu Qingniu, the doctor of the butterfly valley, lives in seclusion, is on the shore of Nüshan Lake in northern Anhui. The Yangtze River flows from Hankou to Jiujiang, flows to the southeast, and after reaching Jiujiang, it turns to the northeast and enters the Anhui border.

When I arrived at the Guabu downstream of Dejiqing, I often encountered a drought in the spring house, hired a big car, and headed north, and arrived at Mingguang east of Fengyang in a few days. Chang Yuchun knew that this Master Hu didn't like others to learn where he was living in seclusion, and when he arrived at the Butterfly Valley on the shore of Nushan Lake, he sent the car back, and several people walked over together.
