121 A blessing in disguise

On the way to escape, they were ruthlessly baptized by the autumn rain, and when they were trembling by the tenderness of the autumn wind, a temple in disrepair appeared in front of the two people, and the two thieves went straight to the past after seeing it, wanting to hide from the rain in the temple, and then continue to move forward the next day.

When they approached the temple gate, they suddenly heard someone talking inside, and the two thieves didn't dare to go in, but just hid behind the temple gate and listened quietly.

I heard the people in the house say: "Everyone saw very clearly at that time, Shangguan Qianye and they came down from Moon Island, and they were chasing the two of them who were embarrassed, which proves that the Moon Divine Flower must be in their hands." ”

Another person said: "You're right, now almost the entire martial arts knows about it, in the past two days, except for those masters who have gathered to the Supreme Peak, almost all idlers like us are looking for their whereabouts, so we have to find the traitors as soon as possible, and we must not let others take the lead." ”

Another person said: "But if you are embarrassed and are the left and right protectors of the Proud Sword Sect, your kung fu must be above our brothers, but I am afraid that we will be in danger at that time." ”

The previous one said, "Brother, you are too worried, don't you see that one of them has been injured? Besides, we didn't find them to compete with them, our purpose was to grab the Divine Flower, as long as there is a way to kill them, we will use them, they are in the light, we are in the dark, are we still afraid of them?" ”

Another said, "You're right, we'll do it." Just kill these two dog thieves and grab the Moon Flower. At that time, the skills of all of us will improve by leaps and bounds, and at that time, our brothers will also create their own sect on the rivers and lakes. ”

The people inside the temple chatted enthusiastically, but the two people outside the door were frightened. They didn't think of it themselves. The news that I got the divine flower will spread so quickly in the rivers and lakes. It seems that the two people now have become the target of the entire martial arts.

The two thieves were no longer in the mood to eavesdrop on the conversation of the people inside, and Lang Youwei at this time couldn't care about the injury on his leg, so he spread his leg and began to flee desperately with Pei Zhijian.

The two of them ran out in one breath for an unknown distance, and at this time the rain was already lighter, and they just wanted to stop and rest. I heard a chaotic sound of footsteps in front of me, and the two thieves hurriedly hid in the grass beside the road.

The two thieves took advantage of the night to cover their figures, and after a while, a group of people on the opposite side approached.

And he heard the crowd talking. One of them said: "I heard that one of them was injured in the leg, and they should not be able to walk too fast, so let's look around for it, maybe they are hiding from the rain somewhere." ”

Another human: "Yes. Let's go. Just see them. He rushed over and chopped them into pulp, and then we all hid with the Divine Flower. ”

The two people who were hiding in the grass were already shivering from the rain, and when they listened to their conversations, they trembled even more.

Lang Youwei said: "Brother, now that the entire martial arts is looking for us, where can we go?"

Pei Zhijian said: "When is it?" You still ask so much. Now the entire martial arts is looking for us, if the alliance leader really becomes the emperor. I'm afraid that the whole country will be the enemy of us at that time, so let's take advantage of the fact that we haven't been exposed yet, and let's go as far as we can. ”

The two of them took advantage of the darkness of the night to sneak all the way, and when it was dawn, they still did not dare to show their faces openly, so they could only hide in Tibet until the sun set, and then continue on their way.

In order not to be recognized, they threw away their swords, although the sword was their self-defense weapon, but at this time, the two thieves could not take care of so much.

They ran away from the crowd during the day, hid in the tall grass and did not dare to come out, and during the day, in addition to sleeping, the two of them also made two hats by themselves. Even if you go out at night, you should wear a hat on your head to hide the overly obvious marks on your face.

When they were thirsty, they would find a place with a water source and take a few sips, and when they were hungry, they would sneak into a farmer's house and steal some food or a poultry or two.

Along the way, they didn't know how many teams they had met chasing them, and the two thieves had now become frightened birds, and their guts were about to be broken.

I don't know how long they walked, how far they walked, and finally entered the mountain again on this day.

The two thieves walked along the mountain road, but after almost a day's journey, what appeared in front of the two men was no longer a rugged mountain road, but a steep cliff high into the clouds.

The two of them were dumbfounded when they saw it, they absolutely did not have the courage at this time, and then returned the same way, but the cliff in front of them made them very embarrassed.

A light breeze blew and rustled the trees behind them, and the last thing these two could bear at this time was fright, even a small wave of grass would make them tremble.

The two thieves looked at each other for a moment, and from each other's gazes, they understood each other's determination to flee. The two of them didn't think much about it, put the hat behind their backs, came to the edge of the cliff and began to climb up.

For so many days, they have been hungry and sleeping, and their hearts have always been near their throats, at this time, their bodies are already quite weak, if it were not for the strong desire to survive to support, maybe they would have fallen long ago.

It didn't take long to climb, the two of them felt their limbs tremble, their stomachs were rumbling, and every time they climbed up, they were forcefully squeezing the little water stored in their bodies, and it didn't take long for their clothes to be soaked with sweat.

The two of them looked at each other close to the cliff wall, they no longer had the strength to talk to each other and encourage each other, but they were still cheering each other up through their eyes.

Embarrassed and persevering to climb up for a while, then I saw a hole not far from the top of my head, and these two people were ecstatic at first sight. Looking at the clouds hanging high overhead, I really don't know how high it is. If there is no cave for them to rest, I am afraid that they will eventually fall to their deaths due to exhaustion of physical strength.

The embarrassed traitor exhausted the last of his strength, and finally climbed into the cave. When they can finally lie on the ground and catch their breath. The mood of the two thieves is really good. Although their stomachs were still screaming, although their bodies were still shaking, they knew that they could live again.

Neither of them wanted to move any more now, but each with an empty stomach lay there motionless until the next morning.

It's dawn. Although both of them slept all night, they opened their eyes listlessly due to hunger.

Lang Youwei looked at Bei Zhijian and said, "Brother." I think this cave is very good, it can't go up to the sky, it can't go down to the ground, and it seems that no one will ever bother us. Let's stay here. ”

Pei Zhijian said: "Then what are we going to eat? We can't be hungry like this, right? We'll starve the two of us to death here." ”

Lang Youwei said: "Brother, don't worry. We went into the cave to look for it, even if it was a bat, we caught a few to satisfy our hunger, as long as we didn't starve to death, and when the wind was calm outside, it was not too late for us to go out. ”

The two men had made up their minds, and they walked together into the depths of the cave, walking and walking. Suddenly, the eyes lit up, and a paradise from the outside world appeared in front of the two people. There are mountains, water, and fruit trees. There are flowers, grasses and butterflies, a fairyland on earth.

The two thieves were stunned, they didn't expect that there would be such a world in this cave.

At this moment, an old voice suddenly came from the depths of the cave, "Who is here again?"

The two of them followed the sound, and an old man appeared from the other side of the cave, who was embarrassed at this time, and after many days of escape, he had become much more regular.

When they saw the old man coming, they hurriedly fell to the ground, and Lang Youwei cried: "The old man helps." ”

The old man walked up to them with a smile and said, "Two strong men, please get up quickly, I don't know why you are so frightened, and why did you come to my ancient cave?"

It turned out that this cave was the ancient cave that Wan Weiwang and Shangguan Qianye strayed into.

Lang Youwei said: "Old man, the two of us brothers were chased and killed by the people in the rivers and lakes, and there was nowhere to run, so they fled here in a hurry, and I hope that the old man can take them in, if we go out now, we have to let others chop them into pulp." ”

The old man looked at them and said, "I didn't expect you to be persecuted like this by them, they still won't let you go, it seems that you are really pitiful." ”

Embarrassed to listen, I knew that the old man was referring to their lost arms and the scars on their faces, so the two of them pretended to be pitiful even more, and Pei Zhijian also cried: "Old man, our brothers inadvertently provoked the enemy, and they desperately chased and killed us. ”

The old man said: "I am alone in this ancient cave from the dust, and I don't know how many spring and autumn periods have passed. I'm also worried that I don't have someone to talk to, and if you don't dislike this place, then stay and be my companion. ”

After listening to the thousand thanks, the two of them wept silently and thanked the old man.

The old man helped the two of them up again, and when he took the hands of the two thieves, the old man put their hands in front of his eyes and looked at them, and then asked, "I can tell from the calluses on your hands that you have also practiced many young kung fu." ”

After hearing this, Pei Zhijian was stunned for a moment, and then his eyes turned and said: "Old man, now the rivers and lakes are sinister, and it is true that we can't hide it, in order to prevent the pursuit of the enemy, our brother has indeed practiced some martial arts for self-defense." ”

After hearing this, the old man laughed and said, "Kung Fu can be practiced like this, and it doesn't seem that it is a good ability." ”

The embarrassed traitor was stunned after hearing this, and then glanced at each other, and the two of them could see from each other's eyes, it turned out that the other party didn't understand the meaning of the old man's words.

The old man looked at their expressions, and then said: "I have a hand in kung fu, which can resist the enemy, and can not hurt the flesh and muscles in the process of cultivation, if you are willing to learn, I can teach you." ”

Although they don't know what the old man is capable of, as long as they can stay in this hole, let alone learn kung fu, even if they do coolies every day, they are willing. So when the old man finished speaking, the two of them fell to the ground again and directly called Master.

It seems that this old man is really too lonely in this cave, as long as he sees someone coming in, no matter whether the other party looks vicious or not, and whether the character of the person who comes is good or evil, as long as he can stay in the cave with him, he will be very happy to accept, and he is also willing to teach his life's mastery to the people who live with him.

When they are desperate, when they are chased and killed like a lost dog by people in the martial arts, they can strayed into the ancient cave of the dust, and they will also have the opportunity to learn the mastery that has long been lost in the martial arts, it seems that it is really providence that makes them die.

In this way, the two thieves accompanied the old man to live in the cave, and the two of them behaved very diligently in order to please the old man. Although the old man did not ask them to do this, he was still very satisfied to see the two young people perform like this.

After a period of contact, they were surprised to find that this old man was far from being as simple as it seemed on the surface, whenever he talked about the progress of martial arts, the old man's views always made them dumbfounded, and the old man wanted to teach the two of them the techniques, which they had never heard of.

When they really watched the old man perform for the first time, the two thieves' faces, which had been tense for several days, showed a happy smile again.

The embarrassment is now thoroughly known, if the two of them can really learn the mastery of the old man, after leaving the cave, not only will they no longer have to fear the revenge of the Shangguan brothers, but they may also become the overlord of the Central Plains Martial Arts instead of Zhangying Rulai.

When the flame of hope slowly ignited in the hearts of the two thieves, the two of them calmed down, learning the techniques with their hearts, and accompanying the old man in the cave, living a transcendent life separated from the sun and the moon. (To be continued......)
