However, it was said that after Ma Lin failed to assassinate Wang Guanru, he was afraid that he would be caught up by the masters of the Heavenly King Gang, so he galloped all the way and entered the mountains in a panic. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info He had been walking in the mountains for a long time, and when he saw that there was no one chasing after him, he was a little relieved and dismounted and walked slowly. "I was lucky enough to cut him this time, but I've already scared the snake, and I'm afraid I won't have such good luck next time. He thought to himself.

He found a secluded place in the mountains, tied his horse, and sat down on the ground, intending to wait until it was dark before returning to the road. But he didn't rest for long, and Ma Lin heard the sound of squirming footsteps.

"Not good!" Ma Lin thought that it might be someone from the Heavenly King Gang who followed, so he immediately slapped the ground and drew his sword and ran towards the sound. The dense trees in the mountains shaded the sunlight, so it was a little dim, and Ma Lin couldn't see the appearance of the person who came, but for his own safety, he didn't care much, and he didn't ask about it, and cut down on the man.

"Beware!" only to hear the comer shout, with the wooden stick in his hand to block, "Who is Your Excellency, why did you attack me?"

When Ma Lin heard this, he thought that this person should not be the pursuer of the Heavenly King Gang, so he took a few steps back, put his knife into the sheath and said, "I'm ashamed, please forgive me for being rude." In the next way, the enemy came to the door and almost injured the good person by mistake. ”

"In the midst of such barren mountains and mountains, where are there any enemies? Your Excellency is inevitably too nervous. The man's voice was very old, and he must have been a little old.

"The seniors taught us. Ma Lin hugged his fists.

The man put the stick in his hand on the ground and said, "Well, then I'll go first." ”

When the man slowly approached, with the sparse rays of sunlight, Ma Lin saw the person's appearance clearly, and couldn't help but exclaim, "Are you Elder Yang?"

The man was also startled, and stopped walking: "Who is Your Excellency?"

Seeing that it was indeed Yang Mu, the former elder of the Heavenly King Gang, Ma Lin hurriedly knelt down on one knee and clasped his fists and bowed: "Boy Ma Lin, meet Elder Yang." "Two years ago, in the battle of Yunzhuang Qingshitai, Yang Mu left Baiyun Peak with the body of Li Duhang, who was defeated by Xu Yun and committed suicide, and he was cut off on the rivers and lakes.

"You're Suzaku, please get up. Yang Mu smiled, "I should have thought that it was you." Your appearance must be intolerable!"

Ma Lin touched the scar on his face, shook his head and said, "No, the face of the junior is what it looks like now." ”

"Wow!" Thinking that the man who was more handsome than a woman in the past had now become so ugly, Yang Mu couldn't help but gasp and said, "What happened?"

"It's a long story, but in short, it's all thanks to the crown of Ru. ”

"It seems that after I left the Heavenly King Gang, a lot of unexpected things happened in the gang!" Yang Mu said, "Do you have anything important to do, if not, can you come to my house and sit down and tell me the ins and outs of this matter carefully?"

"It's not important for the juniors, since Elder Yang wants to hear it, then please lead the way. ”

Ma Lin led the horse and followed Yang Mu to a wooden house, only to hear Yang Mu say: "This house is the residence where I lived when I and Senior Brother Li studied internal skills in this mountain. After Brother Li passed away, I buried him near here, and I chose to live in seclusion here, and I died here. ”

After Yang Mu led Ma Lin into the house and sat down, he said: "There is no tea and snacks at home, and the hospitality is not good, please don't blame." ”

"Elder Yang doesn't have to be so polite. ”

"Hehe, please tell me about what happened recently. ”

Ma Lin nodded, and told Yang Mu all the major events that happened in the gang after Yang Mu left the Heavenly King Gang. Of course, the focus of Ma Lin's narration is on the deep blood feud between Wang Guanru and himself, as well as the fire at the Chunniu Restaurant.

"Did he burn Li Chunniang, who had a thousand hands and a thousand faces, to death?" Yang Mu sighed, "He really started to attack the old man." ”

Ma Lin said: "Elder Yang, you just said 'sure enough', could it be that you already knew that this kind of thing would happen?"

"Yes, that's why I asked the helper for permission to retire to the rivers and lakes on the grounds of Senior Brother Li's death. ”

"It turned out that Elder Yang's retirement was a deliberate thought, not an impulsive move. ”

"What you said is as if I wish Senior Brother Li was dead, so that I could retire to the rivers and lakes. I retired to the rivers and lakes, it was indeed after some consideration, but there were also reasons why I was depressed when I saw Senior Brother Li die. Yang Mugan laughed twice, and then said, "Since your master has been killed, Elder Wu Renyi's life is also in danger. ”

"Yes. Ma Lin wanted to say that Wu Renyi's life and death had nothing to do with him, but in the end he didn't say it.

"Alas, in recent years, your master has almost stopped participating in the affairs of the gang, and she has already stepped out of the rivers and lakes with one foot. But even so, doesn't the helper leave a living mouth?" Yang Mu seemed to say to Ma Lin, and seemed to mutter, "It seems that my life is not safe anymore." ”

Seeing Yang Mu say this, Ma Lin said curiously: "Elder Yang, let the juniors dare to ask, could it be that the matter of the Dugu gang leader back then was also related to you?"

Yang Mu naturally knew that Ma Lin was referring to the secret murder of Lonely Zifu by Wang Guanru, so he shook his head and said, "It seems that you have heard about those rumors." But the death of the Dugu gang leader has nothing to do with me. However, back then, Wang Guanru was able to sit firmly in the position of the leader of the gang because of the help of me, as an elder, and Senior Brother Li, who were able to suppress those opposing voices. ”

"In that case, what are your worries about your life?"

Yang Mu smiled, and said after a long time: "If you want to achieve the cause of the king in the rivers and lakes, it is impossible to do only one thing that violates the morality of the rivers and lakes. If the Wang Gang Master really wants to erase all the stains on the past, then he must want to kill me. Then he asked, "You want to avenge your parents?"

"Yes. Ma Lin swore and said, "Not only the great revenge of my parents, but also the revenge of killing my master, I will also avenge it." ”

"Hahaha!" Yang Mu looked up to the sky and laughed a few times, suddenly grabbed Ma Lin's wrist, tried his internal strength, and then said: "Who taught your internal strength, why is it so commonplace?"

"The internal strength and heart method are all taught by Wang Guanru. ”

"How many years have you been studying?"

"I learned from a young age. ”

"Studying since childhood, with his internal strength, how could he teach an apprentice like you? Could it be that he didn't plan to teach you his internal skills seriously because you were the son of the King of Saibei Ma from the beginning?" Yang Mu frowned and said, "Alas, how profound is Wang Guanru's internal strength, just by virtue of your little Taoism, how can you be Wang Guanru's opponent?" I advise you to stop as soon as possible!"

"Even if it's not as good as him, you have to give it a try. Just now I made a surprise attack on the road, and I have already cut his flesh, although it is not fatal, but it is still my merit. ”

"Did you fight him?"

"Yes. ”

"You hurt him too?"

"Yes. ”

"Hmm......" Yang Mu nodded, suddenly sat cross-legged on the ground, put the soles of his feet up, crossed them on his knees, and then said to Ma Lin: "Learn from me, sit in front of me." ”

"What is this for?"

"Without further ado, sit down as I do. ”

After Ma Lin sat down, Yang Mu stretched out his hands again and said, "Hold my hand." ”

Although Ma Lin had doubts in his heart, he still did as he said. Suddenly, he felt two streams of true qi pouring into the sea of dantian qi along his arm. Ma Lin knew that this was Yang Mu teaching him, and exclaimed, "Elder Yang!"

Yang Mu closed his eyes and said, "Don't say much, be careful of the true qi retrograde meridians, and turn you into a waste." ”

It was about half an hour before Yang Mu transmitted all his true qi to Ma Lin's body. After this consumption, Yang Mu seemed to have a serious illness, sweating profusely, his face was as pale as paper, and after a long time, he said weakly: "You can live with me for a while, I can teach you the cultivation method of my internal strength." ”

"Hmm. Ma Lin responded in a muffled voice. He only felt that his lower abdomen and chest were uncomfortably swollen, and he wanted to stand up, but he couldn't.
