Miao Yizhen led the crowd to travel not far away, and ran into Shao Feng, Yu Yuan and Zhan Huairen, who were looking for Zhao Yanhao. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info Miao Yi really saw that there was no Zhao Yanhao, but there was an old monk who was tied to the back of a horse, which was both surprised and anxious.

"Where's Yan Hao?"

"I haven't found it yet. Shao Feng shook his head, a little ashamed.

"Oh?...... Who is this old monk?" Miao Yi really frowned.

"The person who chased and killed Brother Zhao! I asked, he is a Tianfeng monk of the Putuo faction, and he is Wu Yiyun's master......

Miao Yi was really smart, and immediately understood what was going on, so he no longer asked about Tianfeng, but just asked: "Didn't he catch up with Yan Hao?"

"He said that he caught up with him, and he fought a big battle, but he was defeated, and finally let Brother Zhao escape!"

Miao Yi was really relieved, and without asking for details, he led the crowd to the Deyue Inn in the town. He first helped the shopkeeper Xie solve the acupoints, and then instructed him to settle everyone.

There were so many people at once, and there weren't that many rooms in the inn at all. So, the shopkeeper Xie arranged for Miao Yizhen to live in an upper room, three Jinyi guards with identity to live in one, and the rest of the Jinyi guards were crowded into more than 20 guest rooms.

Miao Yizhen summoned Shao Feng and carefully inquired about the process of finding Zhao Yanhao.

It turned out that Shao Feng and Qin Haiquan walked not far downstream, and found Tianfeng lying on his back on the riverbank, but seeing that his face was pale and unconscious, they shook him awake and asked. Tianfeng has been unconscious since he was knocked unconscious by Zhao Yanhao in Yihe, so he doesn't know where Zhao Yanhao went.

Shao Feng was suspicious, tied up Tianfeng, and ordered Qin Haiquan to guard it, while he inquired and searched for it downstream, and traveled more than ten miles, but still found no trace of Zhao Yanhao.

He was worried that Qin Haiquan would not be able to see the wind in the sky, and on the other hand, he also suspected that Zhao Yanhao was not going downstream at all, but upstream, so he returned. The three subordinates who went upstream, after searching for several miles, also found nothing, and returned in a hurry. He felt that it would be in vain to continue looking for it like this, so he decided to escort Tianfeng back first, and report the specific situation to Miao Yizhen, and it was up to him to decide.

On the way back, I happened to meet Yu Yuan and Zhan Huairen who rushed to hear the news, so they rushed to Nangong Villa together, and halfway up, they happened to meet a large army.

Shao Feng finished narrating what happened, and finally asked, "My lord, do you think: Is Tianfeng's words credible?"

Miao Yizhen had been listening attentively, and after hearing the words, he groaned for a while, and said in a deep voice: "I'm afraid, Tianfeng is not lying. ...... With Yan Hao's martial arts, even if he is injured, if he wants to protect himself, it will definitely be no problem. ”

"Oh, that's good. Shao Feng breathed a sigh of relief, dropped the heart that had been hanging high to the ground, groaned for a while, and asked cautiously: "...... My lord, what are we going to do next?"

"Bring more people and keep searching. Miao Yizhen's eyes flashed, "Search all over Longmen Mountain! If you still can't find it, continue to search the waterway!"

"Good. ”

"Inquire more, especially in places like the Sekiai Wharf, and ask more about passing ships and merchants. ”

"The subordinates understand. ”

Some things are simple when you think they are, but they are actually very complicated. For example, it is easy to learn, but it is just one yin and one yang, but it is difficult to figure it out. If you can't understand the truth of Tai Chi, you can't understand the meaning of Hetu and Luoshu; if you can't understand Hetu and Luoshu, you can't understand the truth of the five elements and the eight trigrams; if you can't understand the five elements and the eight trigrams, you can't understand the meaning of such as the twenty-four mountains, sixty jiazi, and the division of gold......

But some things are quite complicated to think about, but they are actually very simple. For example, Shao Feng and his entourage searched for Zhao Yanhao, they followed Miao Yizhen's instructions and searched until dusk the next day, but there was still no news. But just when they were about to despair, Zhao Yanhao suddenly came back.

※※※

The twilight was heavy, and the light smoke shrouded the surface of the river, and the blue water gradually turned to iron gray, and from time to time there were three or two water birds, hovering lightly around the boat, and from time to time making a cheerful chirping sound. The scenery on both sides of the strait gradually blurred, and the smoke curling from the cooking stove was still clearly recognizable.

"Brother Zhao, come, have a drink!" Hou Laohan raised the wine gourd in his hand and handed it to Zhao Yanhao, who was leaning in the cabin.

"Thanks! I don't drink. Zhao Yanhao waved his hand, looking at the little boy who was supporting the boat at the bow of the boat, and his short and thin body in the night looked extremely difficult.

Zhao Yanhao suddenly felt very sad.

"Daddy Hou, Xiao Hou is still so young, why did he do this kind of work done by adults?"

Hou Laohan shook his head, his face was full of sorrow, he took another sip of wine, and sighed: "What can be done?

"What about his parents?"

"Alas...... Dead!all dead!" Under the faint light, there were tears faintly in the corners of Hou Laohan's eyes, "...... He was a soldier and died on the battlefield, and his mother was sick with tuberculosis, and when he was seven years old, she died. Left behind our grandparents and grandchildren, and depended on each other for their lives. ...... Oh, poor boy!"

Xiao Hou, who was facing away from the two, trembled slightly, raised his hand and wiped a handful of tears.

"Hey, I won't live long!" Hou Laohan looked at his grandson's back, sighed heavily, and muttered: "Grow up quickly! Grow up quickly......

The corners of Zhao Yanhao's eyes were also moist, and Wen Yan comforted: "Daddy Hou, don't be so pessimistic. I look at your body, it's okay. ――If it lives for another ten or twenty years, it will definitely be fine......"

Hou Laohan waved his hand and said softly: "You don't need to comfort the old man! I don't know my body bones?...... Nothing else, the only thing I can't worry about is him!"

"Don't worry, I'll take care of him!" Zhao Yanhao blurted out.

Hou Laohan looked at him fixedly, and after a long time, he shook his head and said: "Thank you! Thank you, young man, I am very grateful if you have this heart...... Rest assured, he's grown up, and there's a cargo ship, and ...... hungry."

Zhao Yanhao nodded, was silent for a while, and said sincerely: "Daddy Hou, if you really can't live in the future, let him come to Songshan Shaolin to find me." ”

"You...... Are you from Shaolin?" said Hou Laohan's face was surprised.

"Yes. Zhao Yanhao smiled and said: "In the future, if he is willing to come to Shaolin, all the people in Shaolin will be very good to him." ”

“...... Really?" Hou Laohan's gaze was surprised with a hint of suspicion.

"Of course!" Zhao Yanhao boasted proudly: "As long as I ask for permission, the abbot will agree;

Hou Laohan was overjoyed, and hurriedly pulled his grandson over and ordered him to bow down.

Zhao Yanhao hurriedly pulled him up and touched his head. Xiao Hou's face was full of joy.

A short time later, the cargo ship arrived at the port. As soon as Zhao Yanhao stepped ashore, he saw several people holding torches who were inexplicably excited, shouting and running towards him, he recognized one of them as Shao Feng's subordinate, and his heart was overjoyed.

After a while, Shao Feng led a group of brocade guards to swarm him, surrounding him at the core like a treasure, and asking nonsense.

Zhao Yanhao briefly talked about the process of this matter, and couldn't help but thank him, and then asked Shao Feng for dozens of taels of silver and gave it to Hou Laohan, so happy that the grandparents and grandchildren couldn't keep their mouths together......

Finally found Zhao Yanhao, Miao Yizhen was naturally overjoyed. Zhongjin Yiwei spontaneously vacated a room for Zhao Yanhao to recuperate and heal. Miao Yizhen ordered the shopkeeper Xie to arrange two men to serve all night.

When Zhao Yanhao learned that Tianfeng had been captured, he couldn't help but beg Miao Yizhen to release him. Miao Yizhen didn't want to be embarrassed, so he followed.

Tianfeng was very depressed, and two days later, he hired a carriage and returned to Putuo Mountain with the ashes of Dixin and the seriously injured Wu Yiyun and Diling. King Chong was reluctant to go, and before they left, he sent five hundred taels of gold as a pension.

The earth spirit was only broken two sternums, and the viscera was not seriously injured, and he recovered after half a year; Wu Yiyun was not so lucky, his martial arts were all wasted, but fortunately, he could still take care of himself in things such as food, clothing, housing and transportation.

Wu Yiyun was discouraged, and he had the idea of suicide several times, but he was persuaded by the abbot of Tianxing in a timely manner to give up the idea. Later, he regained his strength, shaved his hair and became a monk, converted to Buddhism, and his Dharma name was thick, and he studied Buddhism all his life, and eventually became a generation of monks.

Many people have asked him this question: "Master Dihou, Zhao Yanhao abolished your martial arts back then, do you still hate him now?"

He said: "Amitabha, if you hate, you don't hate, and if you don't hate, you hate." In life, there are gains and losses, and losses are gains. If the poor monk did not have the intention of taking his life at that time, he might not have hurt me. The Buddha said: Karma is retribution, if you plant the cause, there will be results. You say, should I hate? It is the greatest blessing of my generation of monks to be able to cut off the red dust, get rid of distracting thoughts, and attain enlightenment in my life?......

I believe that many years later, Zhao Yanhao will have a similar mood to him.

It's just that, for now, Wu Yiyun's fate is over, and Zhao Yanhao's fate is not over.

But no matter what, in the red dust, there are voices and colors, meritorious benefits, love and hate, laughter and tears, and it is still the most nostalgic.

The greatest blessing in life is to be in the red dust of the world:

Do it in a hurry, regardless of success or failure;

Kill it majestically, whether it is right or wrong;

Love it vigorously, no matter how sweet or bitter it is;

Thoroughly understand it, regardless of gain or loss;

......

Just like Zhao Yanhao's life.
