Chapter 6 Receiving Disciples
Iron Rose lay on the kang and thought for a while, although her body was tired, she couldn't sleep. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info because I still have a heart, but I am afraid that the red scorpion will chase here, although the South China Sea Shenni here knows martial arts, but that can be as fierce as the red scorpion? If because of himself, all the nuns in the temple of the South China Sea sect are involved, how big is his sin? I want to Su Xiong, the generous and righteous man, I don't know if he is still suffering from the cold wind outside the temple at this time? Or has he already left. At this time, I listened to the sound of "Bangbang" knocking on the wooden fish, I don't know from which hall? and there was a low voice chanting, the voice was monotonous and dull, and before I knew it, the Iron Rose was put to sleep.
Iron Rose didn't know how long she had been asleep, because the deeper the night, the colder the room, and Iron Rose was awakened by freezing. Feeling that her body was cold, her hands and feet shrunk together, and she turned over again, so she turned her ear out the window to listen.
I could only hear the roar of the mountain wind outside the window, and the tigers seemed to be flying sand and stones, and I couldn't even hear a drum, and the sound of the wooden fish and chanting had long stopped. Xiuxia couldn't help but fight, although he was still a little sleepy, he couldn't sleep anymore.
At this time, I suddenly heard the sound of the wind mixed with the neighing of horses outside the window, which was extremely miserable and terrifying; Xiuxia immediately sat up in shock, holding the White Dragon Yin Wind Sword tightly in his hand, and listened intently in horror.
I only heard the horse neighing a few more times, it seemed to be very close to here, and Iron Rose suddenly remembered that this must be Su Xiong has not left yet, otherwise it is the horse he rode from Fangcheng Mountain, and it is still outside the door.
From this, she felt that she was suspicious, and she really should be calm and not make a fuss. Since being instructed by the red scorpion, the swordsmanship has improved compared to before, although because of the young and weak strength, he can not fight with the fierce robbers, but if he is taught by his uncle for a few more years, he can walk the rivers and lakes alone, and he will not be deceived by others again.
Otherwise, how can she kill Chi Yanyu Wenhua in the future, recapture the Canglong Tengyu Sword, and avenge her father? When she thought of this, she couldn't help but burst into tears, all of which were sprinkled on the mat, and even her face was wet.
She grieved for a while, and then felt dizzy, and was about to fall asleep again, when she heard the "chirping" of the tiles on the house, and the sound of swords clattering, as if two people were fighting hands in the room.
Iron Rose trembled with fright, and quickly got up again, and at this time she heard "Boom!" and "Boom!" as if someone had fallen from the house.
Iron Rose listened to the man who had fallen, and his voice was like that of a red scorpion, "Woo!
I heard her shout and scold, "What are you Nanhai nuns doing? I'm looking for Tie Rose from Daqimen, the daughter of Tie Don't Hate! You girl with no conscience! Where are you hiding?"
Iron Rose was shocked and ashamed. At this time, the light appeared on the window, and I only heard the Nanhai Shennu say sternly in the courtyard: "You thief woman! Dare to come to me late at night to make trouble, you have killed countless people over the years, I know it." But I'm a monk, and I don't want to kill you, so I'm going to give you a little punishment, and if you come again, or if you do evil again, I won't be able to spare you!"
Then he ordered someone to open the temple door and drive the red scorpion out, the red scorpion seemed to have been surrendered by the South China Sea Shenni, and he didn't dare to speak, and "belched" twice, and probably crawled out of the temple. Then I heard the sound of the temple door closing, and the light flickered on the window again, and then passed away.
In a few years, all the sounds died down, not even the neighing of horses, only the mountain wind still roared.
Iron Rose panicked at this time, and then she was very uncomfortable, as if she was ashamed of the red scorpion.
I thought to myself that she must have been seriously injured, and maybe she would die of pain if she couldn't get out of this mountain. Although she is a fierce robber, she is very pitiful! Suddenly I thought: This Nanhai sect's master is too good at Nanhai Shenni's martial arts, and she will knock the red scorpion out of the room after only three or four rounds in the room; how good her martial arts must be? I am still young, if she can take me as an apprentice and teach me martial arts; I will study hard for three or five years, and when I am sixteen or seventeen years old, I will no longer be bullied by others, and it will be easy to avenge my father.
When she thought of this, a lot of hope suddenly sprouted in her heart, and all the horror and sorrow just now were gone. I just looked forward to the dawn soon, so that I could see the Nanhai Shenni and ask to teach martial arts, so she couldn't sleep.
After a while the window paper began to show white, and the mountain breeze gradually settled, and the birds fluttered under the eaves of the court with all kinds of chirps, and the bells buzzed in the temple.
The Iron Rose got up, feeling very uncomfortable, but very nervous, and slowly opened the door to the courtyard, and saw a thin layer of ice frozen on the ground, and there was a pool of blood on the thin ice, although it was also frozen and condensed, but it was still very bright red.
Iron Rose was taken aback, and thought to herself: the red scorpion was so badly injured. was in a daze, when he saw the Nanhai Shennu walking out of the main hall.
Although Nanhai Shenni has a wrinkled face, she is in good spirits, and she is very tall and stands like an old crane.
Iron Rose hurriedly turned around and saluted, and the South Sea Shenni asked, "Do you know what happened last night?"
Iron Rose nodded, "I know, thanks to Shitai for saving me! ”
Nanhai Shenni seemed to smile and said, "You can rest assured that you can live here." Stay for three or five days, Su Xiong will pick you up. In the future, as long as you are cautious, the female thief will not come to harm you again!"
When Tie Rose heard this, she fell to the ground, crying and said, "I don't want to leave, I am an orphan girl without parents, please take me in, I am willing to cut my hair!" ”
Iron Rose knelt upright, and said, "Master, I really don't want to leave here, and I don't want to become a Buddha and an immortal in the future, I just think: I'm only nineteen years old, but I've suffered too many disasters! I don't know how many enemies my father and uncle have made in their lives? As soon as I leave here, someone will kill me, so I'm willing to suffer here, and learn a few martial arts from my master, so that I can use it to defend myself and not be killed in the future." Please be so kind and merciful!"
The South China Sea Shennu was stunned for a moment, and then inquired in detail about the life experience of the Iron Rose, then sighed slightly, recited "Amitabha", and said: "In this case, you can live here for the time being!
Iron Rose didn't know what was wrong with her eyes, but she was overjoyed to hear that the South Sea god Nikon had taken her in, and she stood up and flicked the ice on her knees with her hand. Then Nanhai Shenni turned around and went back to the side courtyard.
When she was young, a young nun came out and gave Tie Rose a shovel and told her to shovel the ice in the courtyard, and when she had finished shoveling the ice outside the temple gate.
Iron Rose did a long day's labor, and she sweated a lot. But she didn't feel bitter at all, but liked it very much. Suddenly, he heard the sound of horses' hooves, and Tieqiang Rose was stunned for a while, and then looked at it, it turned out that Su Xiong was coming with Guan Longjiang.
Iron Rose was even more happy, beckoning her hand and shouting, "Uncle Su!" Su Xiong came to the near dismount, and the first thing he said was, "The red scorpion didn't come last night, did you?"
Tie Rose took the shovel, caught up with two steps, and whispered: "The red scorpion really came last night, but it was killed and driven away by the master!"
She then recounted the scene of last night in detail.
The dragon river led the horse beside him, and he was stunned. Su Xiong patted his brother on the shoulder and said, "What's the matter? I would have known that the old nun was a strange person, just because she was a monk and a woman, otherwise, I would have made friends with her and asked her to help us fight the steel whip captain Chi Gong!" Iron Rose said again: "Uncle Su, I also tell you that I am not leaving now, but the master has taken me in, and allowed me to live in the temple for a long time, and teach me martial arts." ”
Su Xiong also liked to say, "That's really good! But she accepted you as an apprentice and didn't let you lose your hair?"
Iron Rose shook her head and said, "Originally, I was willing to lose my hair, but my wife refused to ask me to become a monk, and she said that I ......."
Su Xiong said: "It's better not to be a nun, otherwise Iron Daxia will be sad in the grave." This is very good, if you learn art from the South China Sea Shenni for two or three years, your martial arts will definitely be able to step over the red scorpion. At that time, I will go to Yu Wenhua and avenge the Iron Hero. When you meet the right young man, you can get a little son-in-law. ”
When Iron Rose heard this, she couldn't help but be sad and blush, and Guan Longjiang couldn't stop laughing. Su Xiong said, "Really! What I have in my heart, I will say in my mouth." At that time, not only the Iron Man in the tomb and the second master of Yun in the world will be so happy that they can't keep their mouths shut, but even our friends will be happy!"
Iron Rose held a shovel in her hand, and couldn't stop crying, and said, "Uncle Su, without you, I can't get rid of these many disasters, and I will never forget your kindness to me!"
Su Xiong was so embarrassed that he couldn't speak, he only said, "There, there." Ahem! That's all as it should be. ”
After thinking about it for a while, he said again: "Since this is the case, I will be relieved, and I will not go into the temple to see the gods and nuns of the South Sea." The girl is safe here, but she should be careful. Now let's go and tell Second Master Yun all these things, Second Master Yun has to work hard, he will definitely come here to see you. ”
Iron Rose wept down her eyes and agreed. Su Xiong said to his brother, "Let's go!" So the two men got on their horses together, and walked out of the mountain with their whips.
After Su Xiong left with Guan Longjiang, Tie Rose couldn't help shedding a few tears, but her tears were tears of gratitude. She felt that these people had been so good to her that she could not repay them. After shoveling away the snow and ice near the temple, she was so tired that she was out of breath, and then she went into the temple, put down her shovel, and went back to her room to rest. When she was young, she saw the younger nun who was waiting to be sent and brought her rice. The rice is very simple, just a bowl of yellow rice porridge with bran skin, half a black flour bun, and one or two salted wild raises, but the iron rose is too hungry to eat.
In the afternoon, the nun-to-be took her to a room in the courtyard, where there were two spinning wheels, and a little nun was spinning with her. The little nun was only fifteen or sixteen years old, slightly younger than Iron Rose, and her name was "Zhiyuan". According to herself, she was the maid of a large family behind the mountain, and because she could not stand the abuse of the wife there, she came here to be a nun.
From her words, Iron Rose knew what was going on. Originally, there were six nuns waiting to be sent here, but now she came, and there were only seven in total. There is no production in the temple, and there are not many people who often come here to burn incense, so they only rely on spinning some threads and weaving some cloth, and ask people to go to the nearby city to exchange some firewood and rice.
Knowing the hardships in this temple, Iron Rose became more and more thrifty, in order to let the South Sea Shenni see that she was willing to endure hardship. After seven or eight days, nothing happened in the temple, and the Iron Rose was just spinning thread all day long.
The gods and nuns of the South China Sea did not ask her to burn incense and worship the Buddha, nor did they ask her to clean the yard, let alone teach her martial arts.
It was the beginning of the tenth day, and in the afternoon, Iron Rose was spinning thread in the house with Zhiyuan, when suddenly a disciple from the South Sea Shenni came to her. She couldn't guess what was going on, so she stopped spinning and followed the nun in her thirties to the meditation hall to see the nun.
When she arrived at the meditation hall, Nanhai Shenni told her disciples to stay away, leaving only the Iron Rose, and told her: "Tonight, you go to bed early, and wait until the third watch, when you see that the main hall has burned the incense, you can go to the courtyard and wait for me." After saying that, the South Sea Shenni sat there and closed his eyes.
Iron Rose gently agreed, and slowly stepped back, but she liked it very much. Back inside, still concentrating on spinning. But when it was time for supper, she went back to her own house in the front yard, and was very impatient, anxiously looking forward to getting dark, looking forward to the third watch, and looking forward to burning the incense soon. After a while, it was dark, and there was no more drum in the mountains, and I did not know how many days it would be.
Iron Rose was very anxious in the room, and she couldn't sleep, as if she couldn't control her hands and feet, and she had to kick and stumble.
Tonight's mountain wind also seems calm, not as fierce as in the past, but the night is longer, no matter how you look forward to it, the main hall is not burning incense.
At this time, the temple was silent, and all the nuns had already fallen asleep, but Tie Rose tied her body very easily, and changed her two braids into two buns, and when she went out of the house, she saw that the sky was full of stars, and there was no one in all directions, and the main hall on the north side was also a black hole.
Iron Rose then kicked her legs first, slammed her fists, and hit the "Tan Legs", and then she went to the house and took out the White Dragon Yin Phoenix Sword, shook the cold light in the courtyard, danced lightly, and then took the sword pose. Standing up, I thought to myself: Nanhai Shenni asked me to wait for her here in the middle of the night tonight, she must be teaching me martial arts, but I don't know which one she is practicing? If what she is practicing is different from what my father taught me, then I will have lost all my previous achievements and need to learn from scratch.
After thinking for a while, he heard a sound in the courtyard, like the door of the meditation hall opened, and heard the faint sound of footsteps, so Xiuxia hurried into the house. I was funny in my heart, and secretly thought, Nanhai Shenni asked me to wait for the incense to be burned, and then wait for her in the courtyard, but the incense of others has not been burned, so I practiced in the courtyard for a long time. How ridiculous is this! She opened the window and looked out, and saw that it was indeed the South Sea Shenni who came out. Walking very slowly, there is a little light in his hand, as if he is holding a paper coal.
After a while, the Nanhai Shenni entered the main hall, but the Buddha lamp in the main hall was not lit, the cigarette smoke was not burned, the wooden fish did not sound, and I did not know what the Nanhai Shenni was doing in the hall.
For a long time, the South China Sea Shenni came out with a stream of incense, the flame of the incense head was burning, she shook her hand, and the fire shrank down, but the smoke was thicker.
Nanhai Shenni held his waist with his hands, step by step, and inserted the incense in his hands into the ground in the courtyard one by one.
The more the Iron Rose looked at the window, the more stunned she became, and felt very strange, because she saw that the little incense stick that glowed with fire in the ground did not look like it was inserted casually, and there were angles and layers, as if the old nun was holding the incense head to put on a position, and it was set up in a short time.
The courtyard was densely packed, like crawling with fireflies, and Iron Rose really couldn't guess why the South Sea Shenni was doing these things. At this time, surrounded by ten thousand points of fire, the Nanhai Shenni nodded to the middle of the house and said, "Iron Rose, come out of the house!"
Iron Rose said yes in the room, and walked out of the house with the White Dragon Wind Sword in hand.
But the god of the South Sea said, "Put down the sword first." Just now I saw you boxing and dancing with swords in the courtyard, you are very stupid, no wonder you are being bullied by the red scorpion!"
When Iron Rose heard this, she quickly put the sword on the ground and walked over, a little trembling.
The heart said, "Your teacher has just come out, and I have heard the door of the meditation hall ring, how can I know about my boxing and sword training?" Tie Rose lowered her hands and stood in front of the South Sea Shenni.
The goddess of the South Sea pointed to the incense that filled the courtyard and said, "This is what is prepared for you." You should first practice your skills, and then you should learn the sword. The purpose of practicing martial arts is to protect oneself and to control the enemy, not to show off one's appearance; the punch you punched and the sword you danced just now are really pleasing to the eye, but when you hold them on the rivers and lakes, they are of no use at all. I really don't know how you learned it in the first place? Now I'll teach you how to train your waist and feet, come and see!"
So the god of the South China Sea, Nishi, unfolded his fists, raised his fists and feet, and jumped like a fly, like an ape, and like a swallow. I saw her coming and going, back and forth, and although her footwork was fast, it was all certain, and it was all in the incense.
After her set of punches, her feet walked all over the hospital, but she didn't knock down a stick of incense. Iron Rose only felt that her eyes were confused. Then the South Sea Shenni said to Iron Rose, "Do you see clearly? You don't have to punch and kick like mine, you just have to jump back and forth, be fast, and don't knock down Xiang." If you are so proficient, I will teach you martial arts again!" After saying that, Nanhai Shenni turned around and went back to the inner courtyard.
This is where the Iron Rose begins to practice. But she had only jumped a step before she knocked down three or four sticks of incense, and she did not dare to be fast, and she jumped slowly, and it was easy to extinguish the incense.
Iron Rose thought it was really difficult, but she felt like practicing a trick, which was very interesting, so she practiced it with her heart. When she was tired of her body until dawn, and most of the incense in the ground was knocked down and trampled on by her, she carved traces on the ground with her sword according to the place where the incense was planted.
During the day, there was no time to practice because of spinning, but when it was nearly dusk, the temple gate was closed, and the nuns in the inner courtyard did not come out. There was only one Iron Rose left in the outer courtyard, and Iron Rose concentrated on practicing jumping according to the traces of the sword carvings in the ground, planting incense.
After practicing like this for more than ten days, when jumping, the incense heads on the ground gradually fell down, and the iron rose gradually became more interesting.
When she practiced, Nanhai Shenni didn't look at her. Every morning, the Nanhai Shenni just went to the courtyard to look down and take a look, and silently recited it in his mouth, as if counting the number of incense sticks that had been knocked down and trampled.
Sometimes the Iron Rose blushed and wept with shame, because the ground was full of incense that had been broken by herself.
After another ten days, Yun Zhanfeng suddenly came with the wind full of buildings. When Iron Rose saw her uncle, she couldn't help but cry bitterly, telling about her past deaths and escapes.
Iron Rose didn't even have a tear, he only had a white face, frowned and lowered his head, gritted his teeth and said, "I've heard everything about you. You just learn martial arts here, don't worry about things outside, there is me outside. I'm going to kill Yu Wenhua's entire family, and kill the Red Scorpion's gang of thieves!"
Iron Rose wept again and asked, "Uncle, does the enemy have a whereabouts?" It doesn't matter if the red scorpion is a woman, firstly, she is a woman, and secondly, I don't think she is too bad. ”
As soon as Yun Zhanfeng heard this, a look of displeasure appeared on his face, and he glared at Tie Rose, but fortunately he didn't reprimand her, but only said: "You don't care! I will be able to catch Yu Wenhua within a month and ask for his dog's life!"
Since then, the Iron Rose has lived here with more peace of mind, spinning threads during the day and practicing martial arts at night, gradually forgetting the passage of time and the changes in the climate in the mountains, and two or three years have passed.
In the past two or three years, although Iron Rose had received clothes and money from the Daqimen several times, they were all handed over to her by the nuns, and she had not seen anyone from the Daqimen, so she could not inquire about the affairs of the Daqimen.
However, at this time, her martial arts have improved a lot, and she is enough to masturbate. He had already mastered the art of jumping, and had further learned the art of avoiding swords, fending off hidden weapons, and jumping over ridges.
Now that the South China Sea Shenni has begun to teach her swordsmanship again, Iron Rose has studied more and more, hoping to learn for another year or two, so she will leave the temple and go to the rivers and lakes again.
not only wants to avenge his father, but also fights for fame for the iron-blooded banner, so he is dedicated to practicing martial arts and does not ask about foreign affairs.
But at this time, the spring is warm, the grass is green and the mountains are green, and the few familiar birds who must come to the temple every day have also learned clearer songs, and the hearts of people can't help but soften.
This year, the age of the Iron Rose is twenty-two years old, and there is not a single mirror in the Nanhai Peni Nunnery, not even a piece of glass, so the Iron Rose rarely sees its own beauty.
But I feel that I have grown very tall, and I am already a girl everywhere, not a child. This year, she felt that this spring seemed to be particularly lovely, everything was beautiful, and if it was still in the mountains, it must be better outside the mountains: so she felt a little lonely.
Zhiyuan also became a very tall young nun at this time, and Tie Rose often fantasized for her: "If she hadn't become a monk, she would have kept her hair and rubbed rouge, she would have looked good!"
On that day, when the two men had finished weaving the cloth and spun the thread, and went out of the house, they saw two little swallows flying from the edge of the sky, flying very fast, and waving their little scissors and murmuring to each other, and threw themselves under the back eaves of the main hall.
Zhiyuan knew that there was their old nest there, so he said happily: "This must be the pair of swallows from last year, and now they are back, the two of them are so good!" Zhiyuan spoke unintentionally, but when Iron Rose heard this, he couldn't help but blush and his ears were hot.
At this time, Nanhai Shenni walked out of the meditation hall again, and Zhiyuan hurriedly lowered his head and went to the east side hall to clean the incense case. Xiuxia seemed to have been discovered by someone, she hurriedly walked to the front yard and returned to the room where she lived.
At this time, she was still wearing thin cotton clothes, so she felt a little warm, and lay on the kang with her head lazy, not bothering to do anything. As usual, she would get up after the evening to practice martial arts, and she was usually happiest at night. At least a few sword dances, a few sets of punches, and three or four jumps. But today she didn't want to get up, lingering thoughts on the pillow, and she fell asleep in a daze when it was almost the third watch.
I don't know how long she slept, but she felt that someone woke her up, and Iron Rose opened her eyes and saw that it was the god of the South China Sea.
At this time, the windows were all white, and it turned out that she had slept all night, and she hadn't even practiced martial arts, so she couldn't help but blush. Hurriedly got off the kang and shouted with a smile: "Mrs. Shi, you got up early?"
The South Sea God Neveh nodded and said, "Rose, you have learned your martial arts, so you don't need to live here." Go today, go home to your uncle!"
When Iron Rose suddenly heard this, she couldn't help but be surprised and delighted, so she shed two lines of tears, shook her head and said, "Master, I don't want to leave you!"
Nanhai Shenni shook his head slightly and said, "You should go home, you can't come here again!"
Iron Rose wiped away her tears and said, "After I leave here, can I still come to see Shitai?"
Nanhai Shenni said: "You are my disciple, if you don't forget your roots, you can come to see me at any time in the future." But there's one thing, if you've killed someone in your hands, you don't have to come again. I, a good Buddhist, will not allow murderers to come in!"
Iron Rose said: "The martial arts I learned from my master will naturally be chivalrous and righteous when I go outside, and I must not be like those thieves and act recklessly. In the future, even if I meet a bad person, I can't easily hurt him. But the enemy who killed my father, I must ......," and two lines of her tears rolled down her cheeks.
Nanhai Shenni waved his hand and said, "There is no need to say more! You should quickly pack up your things and leave! The silver that your family has sent over the years is enough for your travel expenses." ”
After the South China Sea Shenni finished speaking, he left. At that time, Iron Rose wiped away her tears again, and put all the things she had with her together and made them into a package.
Nanhai Shenni ordered Zhiyuan to send her a package, which was the money sent by her family over the years. At that moment, the god of the South China Sea first went to the meditation room, kowtowed to the god of the South China Sea and said goodbye, and then broke up with the sisters and aunts in tears.
She tied the two packages together, carried them on her shoulders, and carried the White Dragon Yin Wind Sword with her other arm, and as soon as she walked out of the temple gate, Na Zhiyuan followed her out. whispered to her, "Rose, stop, I have something for you!" Iron Rose quickly stopped, turned around and asked, "What's the matter?"
Zhiyuan blushed slightly and said, "I've been here for four years! I was sent by Li Yuanwai's wife behind the mountain, and I didn't want to become a monk, but there was no way to do it at that time." Now, after all these years, I have also died here! Li Yuanwai has a son named Li Yubiao, I have a thing here, please give it to him!"
As she spoke, the young nun took out a small bag of red satin from the sleeves of her fat robe, stuffed it into Tie Rose's hand, and said in a panic: "You should put it away quickly! This matter is not busy, and it doesn't matter if you give it to Li Yubiao in three or five years." Anyway, I've been here all my life, and I'm dead!"
When Iron Rose saw her say these words, she looked very sad, and with the red satin bag in her hand, she could not help but be suspicious, and nodded, and said, "Okay, don't worry, I will do it for you!" Then he left the temple gate and turned to walk.
After walking a few steps, looking back and seeing that Zhiyuan had already entered the temple, Tie Rose opened the red satin bag in his hand and took a look. It turned out that there were a pair of red gold earrings inside, and Iron Rose couldn't help but be taken aback, and at the same time felt that her face was a little hot, as if she had been teased by something. Looking at the weeds all over the mountain, the east wind blowing in his face, the butterflies flying back and forth, and the pairs of birds squeaking softly in the trees, all made Xiuxia's heart feel a sense of joy and love.
When I walked out of the mountain pass, I saw pedestrians, cars and horses passing on the avenue, and the Iron Rose was now like she had just left the quiet world and stepped into the red dust.
Iron Rose was not tired of this noisy red dust, she thought: Now that I have learned martial arts, I am no longer afraid of any danger and being bullied by anyone. Now the first thing is to go to Sujiazhuang first, see Su Xiong, the double hook hand, borrow a horse from him, and then go back to Jinlin Village, Xincai County.
So she carried the package on her back and the sword in her hand, and walked tightly. She walked to noon, and only then did she get out of the big stone ditch and came to Sujiazhuang.
As soon as she entered the village, several dogs pounced on her, Wang Jiang's barking, and Tie Rose drove the dogs, and when they came to the door of Su Xiong's house, they saw that the firewood was closed, and there were a few strips of white paper pasted on the fence, which were blown slightly by the wind.
Iron Rose stepped forward and knocked on the door, and someone inside opened the door, and it was Su Yong, the brother of the double hook hand, who came out. Su Yong was dressed in heavy filial piety, and his beard was very long, and when he saw Iron Rose, he almost didn't know him.
Wait until Iron Rose shouted: "Second Uncle Su!" and said, "I have left the temple now, I want to go home, come here to meet Uncle Su first!"
Su Yong only remembered at this time, and he said, "Oh! it turned out to be the Iron Maiden." Iron Maiden, have you learned your martial arts? My brother left a few days ago, and he probably went to Shangshui County. My sister-in-law is now at home, girl, please come in and rest!" Iron Rose nodded, and slowly walked into the firewood, and met Su Xiong's wife, Ho. When I asked, it turned out that the old lady had passed away, and now it has only been a hundred days, and Tie Rose also expressed her condolences. He left her here for lunch, and wanted to keep her for a few days.
But the Iron Rose said, "I have to hurry home to see my uncle and aunt!" and then asked Su Yong to find her a horse. He prepared a saddle and tied his luggage to his horse, but his sword hung on his saddle.
Then, Tie Rose led the horse out of the firewood, and said goodbye to her uncle and sister-in-law, so she went out of the village and galloped down the road with a whip. The horse that Su Yong borrowed for her, although the saddle (Ge Zhan) was old, but it was very vigorous, and it was like a flying dragon on the avenue, raising high dust.
The people on the side of the road stopped their horses and looked at her, because she was a woman, and there was a sword hanging by the saddle, so they were all more interested in her, but Tie Rose was very happy with herself, fast and slow, and asked people for the path along the way, and in the evening, they came to Shangshui County.
This Shangshui County is a very lively place, not far from Xincai County, if you walk overnight, you can return to your hometown before dawn. But then the Iron Rose felt hungry in her belly, and the horse that sat down was sweating and panting, and it was evidently very tired.
When the Iron Rose came to Xiguan, she raised her eyes and saw the tower, so she dismounted and led her horse down the street. People on the street also paid attention to her.
She saw a large shop on the north side, and led her horse in. I saw a lot of commotion inside, a few cars parked in the courtyard, more than a dozen horses tied under the fence, and the guests picked up their clothes and urinated next to the car.
Iron Rose angrily said to the cabinet room, "Do you have a single room in this store?"
The shopkeeper replied in a loud voice in the closet: "No! even the big house is full, so go to the east and ask!"
Iron Rose became angry, turned and led the horse out of the store. She had just walked a few steps east to look for another shop, when she saw the sound of hooves behind her, and two horses passed by Iron Rose, and the man on the horse behind her swept her hair with a whip.
The men on the horses were all dressed in very large clothes, one in his thirties, and the other in his twenties.
Iron Rose was about to get angry, but they both looked back and smiled at Iron Rose, and together they urged their horses to gallop east.
Iron Rose was about to dismount and question them, but she saw that all of them had swords hanging from their saddles. Iron Rose couldn't help but be taken aback, and thought to herself: Who is this? Could it be that he is a bad person in the rivers and lakes again?
She led the horse in the street for a while, and then walked back to the east. I found a shop, and although the store was very messy, there was a single room.
When Tie Rose arrived in the house, she put the sword and the package on the kang and asked the shop to cook. When the meal was finished, it was dark.
Iron Rose closed the door and lay down on the kang to sleep. But I was thinking about the two horsemen just now. After a while, I heard a rough voice outside the window, "Shopkeeper, shopkeeper, do you have a girl on horseback living here?"
Taken aback, Iron Rose sat up and leaned out to listen. The people outside were quieter again, probably asking the store a lot of questions.
Iron Rose was a little familiar with the voice, but she couldn't remember who it was, so she leaned on the hole in the window paper and looked out. I saw that it was dark outside, and the lights in the rooms were not bright, and there were only dark shadows in the courtyard, but I could not see the faces of people.
I wanted to get up, and opened the door to take a look, but she was too tired at this time, and she was afraid that something might happen to her, so she said nothing. I thought to myself: I'll wait until they knock on the door and ask me to come. Who is it, and what kind of heart is it?
After staying for a while, the voice of the people outside the window was gone, probably walking away, and Iron Rose also felt dazed for a while, so she fell asleep. I slept until dawn. I got up to wash my face, had some breakfast, and asked the store to prepare a horse.
She paid off the shop money, went out to get on the horse, and left Shangshui. By this time the sun had risen very high, and it was not getting early, for the people who had been on their way early in the morning had already passed, and the road was sparsely populated with pedestrians, especially cars and horses.
Iron Rose whipped and let go of her bridle and galloped her horse. It was only more than ten miles south that suddenly Iron Rose hurriedly stopped the horse and looked forward in surprise.
It turned out that there were two horses a stone's throw in front of them, and they were the two people they met in Shangshui yesterday. Both of them were triumphant with the brocade embroidered sword, and they didn't go in front of them, just looking back at the Iron Rose.
Iron Rose thought to herself, "Although these two men are well-dressed and good-looking, they must not be good people, and they are probably the ones who visited me in the store last night." I wanted to turn my horse away from these two people, but I thought: Why should I be afraid of them?
The two horses in front of them, which had stood side by side, were now separated on either side, and a path was opened in the middle for the Iron Briar to pass. Xiuxia walked straight away, as if he hadn't seen them in the first place. But after walking less than twenty steps, I heard the two people behind him laughing together.
Knowing that the two men were deliberately teasing her, Iron Rose was so angry that she drew her sword from the saddle and wanted to fight them. But then he thought, "Why bother?" If you get angry on the road, you won't be able to get home tonight, so you take back your sword and go away with a whip in a rage.
When they had gone another twenty miles to the south, they saw a large forest in front of them, and the road had to pass through the forest.
Iron Rose was a little hesitant when she arrived, so she restrained the horse, and Iron Rose knew that when she reached the dense forest and deep mountains, there would be strong men lurking, not to mention that the road was so quiet!
After entering the woods and walking a short distance, I heard someone shouting in my ear, "Iron Maiden, do you see those two people in the north?"
Iron Rose turned her head to look at the horse, and saw a big man turning from behind a big tree. Wearing a short coat and carrying a double hook, it turned out to be a double hook hand Su Xiong.
Iron Rose was surprised and delighted, and quickly jumped off the horse, and said, "Uncle Su, I went to your house to see you, but you are not at home, and I know that the old lady is also gone!"
Su Xiong said: "I know that you have gone out of the mountain and have come to my house to look for me. I heard yesterday that there was a girl with a horse who lived in the store in Shangshui County, I thought it was probably you, I went to the store to inquire, but I didn't find out......"
Iron Rose said, "Oh! The one who came to the store yesterday to ask me turned out to be an uncle!"
Su Xiong was about to answer, when he heard the sound of horses' hooves outside the forest, Su Xiong hurriedly said: "My enemy is here! Iron Rose, you wait, I will finish the matter in a while!"
At that moment he put two fingers in his mouth, and as soon as he whistled, three of his companions came out of the woods. It turned out to be his allies Li Dianjie and Guan Longjiang, as well as a black-faced young man, all carrying knives, so Su Xiong led them and jumped out of the woods together.
When Iron Rose saw this, she was very surprised, so she quickly tied her horse to the tree, drew her white dragon sword, and walked behind a big tree in front of the forest and looked out. I saw that the two people who came from outside were the two people who were teasing themselves on the side of the road just now.
Su Xiong was like thunder at this time, dancing with hooks in both hands, and angrily scolded the man who was in his thirties, wearing a blue silk jacket and a face like black charcoal: "Wei Chigong! Get off the horse; if Lao Tzu is defeated in your hands again this time, he will swear not to go to the rivers and lakes! When I see you in the future, I will kowtow to you forever!"
The lieutenant Chi Gong calmly got off the horse, took out two steel whips casually, and said with a sneer: "Su Xiong! Now you have three buddies, and I only have one junior brother, so we won't allow them to get started, so we'll divide the winners and losers here. In the past, I didn't want to hurt you because you were also a good man. Now, it's unbelievable, I'm going to give you a great look!" As he spoke, he saw two steel whips flying, dancing with two hooks, killing each other.
Here, Iron Rose couldn't help but break out of the forest to help Su Xiong fight that man.
