Chapter 17: On Heroism

Yingquan Building, Ji'an Mansion

On the first day of the lunar month, the weather had just warmed up for a few days, and the sky changed again, and the wind blew all morning, and it just died down and calmed down. The small snowflakes fell from the sky and fell to the ground, soon covered with a thin layer.

Chen Er is a guy from Yingquan Building, he has a good body, clear eyebrows, and a tall figure, and he is a little condescending to be a buddy.

He settled a traveler's horse, came out of the stable, said hello to the man who was standing in front of the building, and went upstairs.

Yingquanlou is a well-known restaurant in Ji'an Prefecture, located in Fubei District, located at the intersection of the east, west, north and south streets of Ji'an Prefecture, with three floors. There is a big "wine" word flag hung higher than the restaurant, fluttering in the wind, this unconventional hanging method, so that pedestrians can see it far away, its effect is naturally wonderful, business is prosperous, the popularity is extremely prosperous, it can be seen that the shopkeeper of this restaurant also has some thoughts.

As soon as Chen Er was halfway there, he heard a sudden sound of horses' hooves from far to near, and quickly came to the front of the building. Based on the experience of these two years as a working man, he could conclude with his eyes closed that these were two high-headed horses from the northwest, with a dull hoof and lightning speed. He turned to look down.

Two black and shiny majestic horses stopped in front of the building, each with a circle of white hair on each of the two front hooves, but at this time it was motionless, which made Chen Er like it at first sight.

"This Taoist, this woman, please upstairs, there is a seat on the third floor to serve!" The dog is specially responsible for welcoming guests, with a good voice, but more importantly, it has excellent eyesight, for people who come to the restaurant, they can distinguish their status at a glance, rich and poor, and introduce the corresponding floor. The second floor belongs to mass consumption, and the third floor is for wealthy people with status.

Only then did Chen Er notice the two people on the horse.

A female Taoist priest wearing a wide robe, untied in a bun, long black hair scattered, lightly tied with a plain white coarse cloth strip, melon seed face, two slender eyebrows into the sideburns, Danfeng eyes, straight and delicate nose, thin lips, the whole person is beautiful and refined, cold as frost.

He was looking at it intently, and sighed that the appearance of this female Taoist chief was almost less than that of his own owner and wife, at this time, a clear gaze swept him, he felt as if he had fallen into a warm spring and soaked it, indescribably cool and comfortable, and immediately, he felt kind to this cold and beautiful female Taoist priest.

His eyes swept over another woman, she was a beautiful woman of the same age as the female Taoist, and she was also beautiful, but at this time, in his eyes, she was naturally not as good as the female Taoist who made him feel kind.

He hurriedly ran upstairs, picked a private room near the east pavilion window, quickly wiped the table, led the two of them to sit down, and then ran forward and backward, serving water tea, delivering recipes, and was extremely courteous.

"Master, why are we in such a hurry?! Those crab soldiers and shrimp generals, it's not a big deal!" As soon as she took two sips of tea, the girl in the apricot yellow hero costume began to complain.

The female Taoist priest had an elegant posture, gently put down the celadon tea cup, her expression was indescribably graceful and calm, she did not speak, but gently glanced at the girl with a clear gaze, picked up the recipe on the table, and slowly flipped through it.

"Master--, master-!" the girl gently twisted her toned and slender waist, and whispered to her master.

"You, you, you really don't know the sky!" she glared at the girl, said a few names to Chen Er, who was standing beside her, closed the recipe, and handed it back to him.

"What's the matter, isn't it right to say it? With their three-legged cat's martial arts, I am not afraid of more people! Pity our little Hei Erhei, I don't know what is going on now?" The girl glanced at Chen Er, who was standing respectfully, and said unconvinced.

Seeing Chen Er quietly retreat, the female Taoist priest turned her head, her beautiful and cold face sank, quite powerful, and when she saw her disciple's body shrinking, she spoke: "Bing'er, you have this kind of mind, the rivers and lakes are sinister, you must be cautious, the so-called open guns are easy to dodge, hidden arrows are difficult to prevent, martial arts is not the only means to kill!"

"Yes, the apprentice must follow the master's teachings!" Bing'er saw that the master lowered his face, not daring to be presumptuous, and being honest.

The female Taoist priest saw that the apprentice was honest, eased her gloomy face, and said slowly: "Xiao Hei Erhei is fostered in that family, and after this while, we will go and get them again, at this time, riding them is too slow! Bing'er, your little bit of caution, the master understands very well, don't forget, the master has also been your ancestor's apprentice! I can understand your thoughts, but--!"

She paused, took another sip of tea, and then continued: "However, a mountain is even higher than a mountain! Not to mention my master's martial arts, even your master and ancestor are not invincible in the martial arts!"

"Oh, the martial arts of the ancestor are not the most powerful?!" Bing'er was surprised, in her heart, her own ancestor was invincible in the world.

The female Taoist priest shook her head, turned her head and looked out the window, her expression was hazy, her eyes were misty, as if she was caught in a memory.

Outside the window, the snowflakes are getting bigger and bigger, falling more and more rapidly, and the sky and the earth are already white, like a white curtain covering them.

When Bing'er saw the master's appearance, she didn't speak with interest, lowered her head and gently took a sip of tea.

She has seen this appearance of the master countless times since she can remember.

Every month, there would always be a few days when the master was depressed, irritable, and very fierce to her, as if he had changed as a person, which made her very afraid.

After a few times, she summed up a rule, every time the master appeared in this appearance, in the following days, her mood would become bad, she would lose her temper easily, and she would not be pleasing to the eye.

Even the master is avoiding the master at this time.

Chen Er knocked on the door of the private room, interrupting the female Taoist priest's distraction.

Under Chen Er's supervision, the dishes were quickly served.

"Master, who else do you say is more powerful than Shizu?" Bing'er's eating demeanor is very elegant, quite a bit of the charm of a female Taoist, her upper body is condensed, her hands are leisurely, and she looks calm and calm.

Swallowing the delicate tofu in her mouth, the snow-white silk handkerchief in her sleeve gently wiped her mouth, and she said in a manful voice: "Your ancestor's martial arts, although it cannot be said that the world is invincible, there are only a few invincible people, and they can be counted." ”

"Oh, tell me about the apprentices, who are the people?" Bing'er wiped her mouth elegantly like her master, her face was excited, and she asked curiously.

The female Taoist priest felt that her apprentice should also know something about martial arts, so as not to be lonely and unheard of when she went out, and she would suffer any losses in the future.

"Okay, I'll tell you about it. More than 20 years ago, the five absolute ...... in the martial arts"

"The disciples know, the east is evil and the west is poisonous, the southern emperor and the northern beggars add the supernatural powers, I already know this!" Bing'er quickly grabbed the conversation.

"Well, in the past ten years, Wuqi has faded out of the martial arts, Zhongshentong died young, and the remaining four people rarely appear in the martial arts. "Soft-spoken, soft, indescribably good.

She held the smooth celadon tea cup, her cold expression became soothing, and the smooth face and the clear celadon tea cup reflected each other, as if exuding a hazy glow, not like a mortal person,

Bing'er stared at her intently, nodding vigorously, the name of the Five Uniques, she is like thunder, and it is natural that the ancestors are no match for them.

"In the past ten years, there have also been several top masters, the hero Guo Jing, must be better than your ancestor, the leader of the beggar gang Huang Rong, may not be much different from your ancestor, Sun Ziming of the Heavenly Thunder God Claw in the Southern Martial Arts, Yang Guo and Xiaolongnu, the three of them, only rose after your ancestor returned to seclusion, and it is estimated that they can also beat your ancestor. ”

"Master, Guo Daxia I know, she and the Huang gang leader are husband and wife, guarding Xiangyang together, I admire them the most!"

The female Taoist priest nodded: "Yes, Guo Daxia is really worthy of the title of hero, without him, Xiangyang would have been lost for many years!"

"Master, have you seen Guo Daxia?" Bing'er asked eagerly.

"Hehe, I've seen it, what's the matter, Bing'er also wants to see it?" The female Taoist priest's face stretched out with a little smile.

"Hmm!" Bing'er nodded vigorously, "Bing'er wants to see Guo Daxia and see how heroic he is!"

"There will be a chance, and when you have time later, the master will take you to visit the couple. She chuckled, like a snow lotus blooming, the world was bright, but there was a wry smile in her heart, I don't know if this promise can be fulfilled.

"Okay, okay. By the way, who is the Heavenly Thunder God Claw? I have heard of the great name of the Condor Heroes, but I have never heard of the Heavenly Thunder God Claw. ”

"Sun Ziming, the Heavenly Thunder God Claw, is also an amazing character. It is said that the martial arts are really terrifyingly high, and he has not met an opponent so far, but he is low-key, and the dragon sees the head but not the tail, and few people have seen it. ”

"Interesting, these people with strong martial arts sound a little weird, don't they, master?" Bing'er suddenly laughed, happy that she had come to this conclusion.

"You're also smart, yes, most of these people with superb martial arts are mavericks. ”

"That Condor Heroes is really enviable, it is said that they are handsome in men and beautiful in women, they are extremely compatible! Master, have you seen them too?" Bing'er's face was even more excited, and her body twisted.

The female Taoist priest nodded slightly: "Yes." ”

"Ah, master, you are so amazing! Bing'er admires you to death!" Bing'er has a tendency to scream.

"Shhh......h Actually, the Condor Heroes couple also have a lot to do with you, and you should call them Uncle Ancestor. ”

"What?!" Bing'er was confused.

"Xiaolongnu, the wife of Yang Guo, the Condor Hero, is actually the same sister of your ancestor. ”

"Ahh

The female Taoist priest slowly picked up the tea cup that was about to bottom out, and took a sip of tea gently, the heat in the cup rose up, making her beautiful melon seed face a little hazy, and she sighed long: "Alas, it's a long story, the grievances and grievances in this can't be explained clearly for a while." Let's make a long story short as a teacher. ”

"Okay, okay, master, tell me quickly!" Bing'er nodded busily, she was extremely curious, and when she heard that she could know some secret anecdotes, she was more excited than anything else.

"Your ancestor and Xiaolongnu are both from the Zhongnan Mountain Tomb Sect, but your ancestor was later expelled from the sect for some reason, so he broke through in the martial arts. ”

"Expulsion from the division?" Bing'er finally jumped up and screamed.

"Sit down, startled, what's the fuss?!" The female Taoist priest frowned, her frowning appearance, but with a little weakness, pitiful, temperament changes, change freely, but all fascinating.

Bing'er sat down obediently, but she was a little unconvinced in her heart, expelling from the division, in fact, it is a terrible heavy punishment in the martial arts, you must make a big mistake, you will be punished by this, and some even have to be abolished martial arts, which is really tantamount to a death penalty.

"In fact, since the creation of the Tomb Sect, it has never been famous in the martial arts, and your ancestor was only expelled from the faction, and the martial arts have not been withdrawn.

"Really, our Tomb Sect is really that powerful?" Bing'er reverted to her old ways, her voice crisp and excited.

The female Taoist priest's calm face was also a little excited at this time, and she chuckled, and said: "Speaking of the ancient tomb faction, we have to talk about the patriarch of the founding school, Lin Chaoying, she is a strange person, it is said that she was the lover of Wang Chongyang, the patriarch of the Quanzhen Sect, and her martial arts were comparable, and then for some reason, the two fell out, so Wang Chongyang became a monk, and the patriarch's mother-in-law took the ancient tomb from him to live in seclusion, and devoted herself to creating a special restraint of Quanzhen martial arts. Quanzhen teaches you that it is called the authentic martial arts, and its martial arts are broad and profound, and it is famous in the United States. ”

"Restraining Quanzhen martial arts? Wow, it's really majestic!, I like it when I hear this name! Master, have you ever practiced it?"

"No, only your uncle and ancestor have practiced, alas! If you talk about swordsmanship, your uncle and ancestor Xiaolongnu are probably one of the best in the world. The female Taoist priest shook her head and sighed.

The female Taoist priest looked at the apprentice's regretful expression, stretched out her green jade fingers, tapped her straight nose, and chuckled: "Don't say that you master and I can't, even your master and ancestor have no chance to learn." The cultivation is extremely difficult, you have to be proficient in this martial arts first, and then practice the true martial arts, the two are combined, before you can practice, you are still far from this martial arts, don't think about it!"

Bing'er agreed gloomily, but she was always uncomfortable in her heart, this sect has such a powerful martial arts, but she can't practice it, which is really itchy. It's good if you can see her, I don't know where Xiaolong's uncle is, if I can see her, I must let her teach herself. The girl's heart was full of innocence.

"By the way, master, Xiaolong's female uncle is said to be the number one beauty in martial arts, is it true?" Her mind came and went quickly, and when Qing Ling's eyes turned, there was a problem.

"Well, although there is an exaggeration, but it is not too much, she grew up in the ancient tomb since she was a child, rarely sees the sun, and the martial arts of our ancient tomb have the effect of nourishing the face, making her grow snow skin and jade skin, and her face is like snow, like a fairy among the gods. The female Taoist priest nodded.

"That Condor Hero Yang Guo doesn't know what kind of person he is, he can be worthy of a character like Uncle Shizu, I really want to see him, by the way, master, have you seen the two of them?" Bing'er put her hands on her cheeks, her face full of fascination.

"Little second brother, continue the tea!" the female Taoist priest gently put down the teacup, and a cool and soft voice came out of the private room.

"Come on!" Chen Er greeted the guests at the entrance of the building not far away, and when he heard the call, he hurriedly came.

Waiting for Chen Er to refill the tea lightly, the female Taoist priest was not too hot, took a sip gently, closed her eyes lightly, and said softly: "The two of them have also dealt with each other as teachers. ”

Bing'er was full of admiration, and looked at the master: "Master, you are so amazing! You have seen all these masters, Bing'er is so envious of you...... By the way, Shi Zu was also famous in the martial arts back then, right?"

The female Taoist priest Qingli's melon seed showed a wry smile on her face: "Are you a master? ”

"Then why did the master and ancestor go into hiding, and still practice so hard? There are not many people in the world who are her opponents, and besides, the world is so big, it is very likely that she will not meet those few people in her life! Master-Fu-, the disciple really doesn't understand!" Bing'er is indeed very confused, she has hidden this question in her heart for a long time, and now she finally has the opportunity to ask it.

"Bang!" The smooth celadon tea cup was slammed on the table, and the female Taoist priest stood up straight.

She turned around and stood in front of the window, staring at the vast snow in the distance, the expression on the face of the melon seeds, which was as smooth as jade, changed her expression, and the indifferent and chic figure in her heart gradually floated again.

Seeing the master like this, Bing'er knew that the master's mood had deteriorated again, and secretly blamed herself for being too talkative.

She didn't dare to disturb the master's thoughts, so she sat obediently for a while, and when she saw that the master still hadn't come back to her senses, she secretly ate the dishes on the table, and at a glance, she knew that she was spoiled by her master.

"Bing'er!" the female Taoist priest looked out the window, stood quietly, and suddenly spoke.

"Hmm, master?" Bing'er hurriedly put down the bamboo chopsticks and wiped her mouth.

"Back then...... , with the martial arts of your ancestors, if you encounter the five unique people, even if you are not defeated, you can retreat safely. But...... Why is she still practicing martial arts hard?"

Bing'er has lived with her master for so long, and she understands her deeply, and the more flat her voice, the more unsettled her master's mood is.

The snow was falling heavier and heavier, and the goose-feather snowflakes were falling, casting shadows in her bright and clear eyes. She has a slender figure, and under the wrapping of the wide road robe, she looks even more exquisite. Inside the building, more and more people poured in, and the voices of people gradually rose, becoming a little noisy and noisy, and it became more and more quiet in this private room.

"Why?" Although he knew that his master was not in a quiet mood, he still couldn't restrain his long-standing curiosity.

"Why, why...... It's all because of one person!" Although she laughed a few times, there was no smile in her voice, which made Bing'er shiver.

"What kind of person is a person?" Bing'er asked urgently, the question that had been hidden in her heart for a long time was finally about to be solved, and she was very anxious.

The female Taoist priest turned around, stroked her spotless robe, and sat down quietly, her face returning to cold and calm.

"Alas, I still remember clearly what your ancestor said to me back then. She raised her jade hand, stopped Bing'er's question, and continued: "Your master said, 'Ling Bo, don't care who he is, when you see him in the future, you must hide far away, and it is best not to meet him!' ”

"Why, master?" asked Bing'er.

The female Taoist priest suddenly laughed, and a few traces of blush rose on her cold face, making her look more and more beautiful and moving.

Bing'er was a little inexplicable, but looking at the master's smile, it was a normal smile, and she was even more confused, I don't know why the master laughed.

The female Taoist priest laughed for a while, then stopped laughing, gasped hard, calmed down, and still had a little smile in her voice: "What you asked is exactly the same as when I asked your ancestor, not a word is bad!

"Master-Fu-!" The curiosity in Bing'er's heart made her anxious, and she wanted to boast about it, but she couldn't bear the curiosity, twisted her waist, and urged in a coquettish tone.

"Okay, let's go on. The female Taoist priest suppressed her smile, and her voice was a little low: "Your master and I were very embarrassed at the time, she was very angry, and after losing her temper with the trees on the side of the road, she said to me, 'When you meet him, life and death are up to you, and you ask why!'"

"Life and death can't be up to you?" Bing'er tilted her head with an expression of disbelief: "Is it really so powerful?"

The female Taoist priest, that is, Hong Lingbo, smiled, but her smile was a little stiff and extremely unnatural: "Has the master deceived you? Remember, remember not to mention it in front of your master, otherwise, it will be another while." ”

"Then his martial arts are even more powerful than the five absolute back then?" Although he knew that the master would not lie to himself, Bing'er was still a little unacceptable in her heart, and couldn't help asking.

"Alas, what are the Five Absolute Masters to him? Your master and I, in front of him, are no different from three-year-old children. His martial arts are not at all something that people can practice, and he is like a god. Hong Lingbo said softly, his eyes gradually blurred, and he fell into memories again.

Her distracted appearance was seen by Bing'er on the other side, Bing'er suddenly realized that she had such an expression, is the master's abnormal behavior related to that person?

Hong Lingbo suddenly lost his interest in speaking, picked up the bamboo chopstick, and concentrated on tasting the meal.

Bing'er was also full of thoughts, and kept thinking about the person the master said.

What kind of powerful method does that person make his master and master look like this? What do other people look like? Are they old or young, ugly or handsome? How did he practice so well?

Countless questions arose in her heart, and a strong curiosity was about to move, and she couldn't wait to see this person right away to see if he had three heads and six arms.

"Master, what's this person's name?"

"Oh, what? name?...... His name is Xiao Yue-Sheng!" When Hong Lingbo was eating, his mind was far away, and when he heard his disciple's question, he paused and said the three words Xiao Yuesheng in a low voice.

"Who is calling?" The clear and peaceful voice suddenly sounded in the ears of her master and apprentice.

"Who?" Bing'er was startled, looking left and right, but there was no one in sight.

looked at the master, but saw the master sitting there in a daze, and turned into that distracted appearance again.

Is it your own hallucination? No one at all?

"Master, did you hear someone just now?" Bing'er asked cautiously.

"I heard it, I heard it,...... It's him, it's his voice!" Hong Lingbo muttered, and the haunting voice in his heart finally appeared again.
