Chapter 65: Holding a grudge

The three men left their horses behind and were laid off.

Lei Hong didn't know what the situation was at the moment, he was only worried that the two monsters who were chasing the master were still guarding the left and near, so he didn't dare to blatantly go straight forward, leading Hu Tan and Qin Su, and only picking up the secluded places and stepping on the right among the wild trees in the hills.

I had already run to the place where the sound of the arrow pierced through the clouds before, and looked at the snow in front of me, but there was a flat piece of ground, which was quite different from when I looked at it from a distance. Between the sparse shrubs, more than 20 cedar trees grow together, forming a long and narrow forest belt that can be five or six zhang long, forming and falling independently, and the nearest forest is nearly 100 zhang away. Lei Hong saw that there was no shelter such as a mound and a low hill near the left, and it really didn't look like a Tibetan place, so he couldn't help but be a little suspicious, lowered his voice, and called softly: "Master-, master-"

With a sound of "plop", the snow surface that was blown smooth and flat by the rapid wind suddenly protruded into a large mass, and the broken qiong was scattered, and a bald old monk got up from the ground with a Zen staff, like a dive suddenly penetrating the water, and jumped lightly in front of the three people. Hu Tan was extremely wary at this time, and when he saw this, he hurriedly grabbed Qin Su's arm, pulled her back a few steps, and gathered his qi in his palm, seeing that the person in front of him was about forty or fifty years old, and he was also tall, only half a head shorter than Lei Hong. Dressed in a ragged and shabby monk's robe, full of holes, with brown and yellow Buddha beads hanging from his chest, and his beard under his cheeks and chin was unkempt and gray.

"How did you get here?!" the man asked sternly, glaring at Lei Hong.

"Master!" Lei Hong shouted, his face full of joy, and he took two steps forward as if he wanted to support his master. was stopped by the monk's stern gaze. The strong man grinned, and his heart was full of joy. I feel that my voice is still a little blocked. "Great, you...... You...... Are you alright?" he had heard since he heard the news in Ganxiu Town. In the past three days and three nights, I have not been worried about the safety of the master for a while, and now that I see that the crazy Zen master is still alive and well, while letting go of my worries, my mood can't help but be a little agitated.

"What can I do! Let you go to Zhao Dongsheng to see the lantern lighting ceremony in Shushan, why don't you stay in Longde Mansion and come here to do something? Their ceremony is finished?" The crazy Zen master asked Lei Hong with a tiger face, glanced at Qin Su and Hu Tan, and saw that it was a beautiful woman and a young child, and the dissatisfaction in his heart was even worse. His face also showed displeasure: "Who told you that I was here? Didn't I tell you that I was going to deal with the fox demon when I left? You came here with such a big child, and you were going to bring food to the monster?"

Lei Hong saw the master's face and knew that he had misunderstood, so he hurriedly explained: "I came out after watching the lantern lighting ceremony, and I heard that you were here, so I stopped by to see your old man's house...... Master, this is Miss Qin Suqin, she is a disciple of the Jade Girl Peak Qinglian Divine Needle. This is Brother Xiaohu, the two of them I met in Zhaojiazhuang, I heard that you were injured, so you followed me over to help you. Brother Xiaohu's Spiritual Talisman was very powerful in healing injuries, and Senior Uncle Ling Fei was full of praise for him. ”

Qin Su said, "I've seen Master Wuji. Hu Tan also made a big move: "Good master." ”

The mad Zen master snorted. He nodded slightly to the two of them, but did not return the salute. He didn't fully believe what his apprentice said. Qin Su and Hu Tan are clearly delicate girls and weak children, and their skills are superficial and low, which is not worth mentioning. What kind of help can be helped? What kind of learning and amazing karma, Ling Fei is full of praise, I'm afraid it's just Lei Hong's deliberate use to cover up the prevarication in order to escape responsibility, this kid don't go to fight again, come back with two tails that can't shake off.

I guessed like this in my heart, but I didn't have time to ask in detail right now. Vigilantly glanced around, grabbed Lei Hong's wrist, and hurriedly swept into the narrow forest: "Come in, don't talk outside." ”

"Haven't the monsters left yet?" Lei Hong was secretly surprised when he saw that his master looked nervous, which he had never seen for many years, thinking that these two monsters were really good at it, and even the master who had always acted without scruples was so jealous of them. The crazy Zen master shook his head and said: "I don't know, I hid under the snow for a day and a night, and I didn't hear any special movements, but I don't think they will stop so easily, that female fox has a deep feud with Tie Chip, I didn't understand the situation before I rashly intervened, and drove her from Xingzhou to Yingchang Mansion, and now she hates me too." With her temperament, she would not have taken a break if she hadn't seen me die. He sighed slightly, as if he regretted intervening in the matter.

Lei Hong was even more surprised, he knew his master. The name of the mad Zen master has been spread in the rivers and lakes for more than 20 years, and he has never been afraid of war and avoided war in his life, but now he actually regrets the extermination of the fox demon, obviously not because he is afraid of the two monsters for cultivation, but there is another hidden secret.

The four of them ran into the cedar bushes together, and Hu Tan and Qin Su also learned from the mad Zen master to squat down and borrow trees to cover their figures. Lei Hong saw that the master's movements were slightly sluggish, and it seemed that the right back position was a little unpleasant, so he asked, "Master, are you injured?"

"It's okay, I ate the palm of the banshee the day before yesterday, and I was a little careless. The mad Zen master said, 'Bo' exhaled, rubbed the wound, and his face was the same, as if he didn't mean it.

"Is that banshee very powerful?"

"It's not necessarily very powerful, it's half a pound and eight taels with me," the crazy Zen master said, "I fought with him four times before and after, regardless of victory or defeat, so I was not happy! Speaking of the fight, the old monk's eyebrows suddenly became vivid, his waist and shoulders unconsciously straightened, and his eyes were shining, as if there was an enemy in front of him ready to attack, ready to fight with him for another hundred and eighty fights.

As soon as he heard him mention the injury, he immediately took out the Tranquility Talisman from his sleeve and handed it over with a smile: "Master, this is the Tranquility Talisman I drawn, it is still a little useful for treating injuries and poisons, you might as well give it a try." At the moment, the monsters don't know where to hide, and if they want to harm people, only your old man can deal with them, so you can recover your body as soon as possible. ”

The mad Zen master looked at him, and his face was quite relaxed. I don't think much of what Hu Tan said about the monster harming people, but I don't need to talk about it with children. I think that although this little doll has low skills, it is not a good person. He looks amiable and treats people sincerely. It's not good to use a cold face on him again. nodded at the moment and thanked: "I accept you." "I took the symbol. And the snow eaten. Yun Gong performed a breath, and when he heard that Siye had no strange sound, he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Fortunately, they shouldn't be near here." ”

Lei Hong snorted: "Even if we are close to the left, we don't have to be afraid of him! Now that there are more of us than they are, what do we have to worry about? I wish they had come out sooner, so that we could get the field back. I can't let you get hurt in vain. ”

The mad Zen master glared at him: "Once you go to Longde Mansion, you will grow capable? Let me see if your three-layer defense can be stopped. ”

Lei Hong smiled, not daring to contradict the master.

After a pause, the worry disappeared, and the mad Zen master asked Lei Hong: "How is the lantern lighting ceremony in Shushan?"

When asked, Lei Hong replied: "Fortunately, this time Shushan debuted two young people. They are almost fifteen or sixteen years old, one is a dragon master, and the other is a refiner. ”

"Dragon Master?" the Mad Zen Master raised his eyebrows in surprise, "Except for Uncle Jian Fang's." This is the second dragon. It's hard to think they'll still be able to find it. He looked at his disciple: "How does the Dragon Master compare to you? He is only fifteen or sixteen years old, and his skills are not too high, so it is not difficult for you to defeat him, right?"

"It's hard to say. Lei Hong shook his head. He had seen Zhu Wenjie's move in Zhaojiazhuang, if Zhu Wenjie only had the strength he showed when he provoked Qu Miaolan. He was sure to suppress the other party, but who knew if the dragon master had any other skills hidden in private? Just like that gentle Song Bitu. In addition to refining weapons, he actually integrated the method of martial arts enlightenment, which is an ability to reverse the situation. If the two brothers learned the skill of pressing the bottom of the box like this, he thought that he would lose more than win.

"A fifteen-year-old child, you can't be sure to beat him?" the mad Zen master was of course not satisfied with this answer, he looked at his apprentice angrily, his thick eyebrows tangled, "Although the dragon master is rare, it is not necessarily that powerful. Shushan faction...... Hmph, it may not be that great, don't be modest, tell me honestly, can you win against him?"

Lei Hong thought about it, but still shook his head: "I can't win." He briefly said the situation of Song Bitu and Xing Renwan fighting in Zhaojiazhuang, and heard that another refining disciple of the Shushan Sect was even stronger than the Dragon Master, both weapons and martial arts, and even a powerful young man in the Qinglong Gate who could compete with this refining master, the crazy Zen master stopped talking, and closed his eyes and thought there.

Lei Hong said: "There are really several powerful characters at the lighting ceremony this time, not only Xing Renwan and Song Bitu, but also the female disciple of Jade Girl Peak, Qu Miaolan, I don't think she is a simple person, at that time, Song Bitu made a move on her, and it looked like she had suffered a small loss." I'm afraid that this little girl's skills are not under Song Bitu......" said and recounted the process of Song Bitu and Zhu Wenjie handing over to Qu Miaolan in the inner room.

"How old is that girl?"

"Seventeen years at most. ”

The mad Zen master was silent again, sitting cross-legged in the snow, like a wooden statue. Lei Hong saw the master's face like an ebony eight immortal table, and knew the master's mood. It is estimated that when he heard that several sects had taught such outstanding disciples, he was much inferior to others, and his competitive spirit was frustrated. He said, "Master, I'm disgraced to you." But don't be angry, I'm not as good as others in terms of age and achievements, those people just now are amazing and brilliant characters, but in my opinion, they are not the best, and there is another person whose performance is much more eye-catching than them, he is younger than Song Bitu. ”

When Qin Su and Hu Tan heard this, their hearts jumped. Hu Tan realized that what Lei Hong said might be himself, and he couldn't help but feel hot on his face, his heart pounding, looking forward to it, and he was happy, and he faintly felt a little unbelievable.

The crazy Zen master over there couldn't help but open his eyes, his beard trembled, and he said angrily: "What kind of little monster is there!? You can't finish it in one breath!"

Lei Hong didn't dare to sell the guanzi to the master, and pointed at Hu Tan with a smile: "It's this little Hu brother." ”

The mad Zen master paused for a moment and looked at Hu Tan carefully, but it was only for a while. Then he glared at Lei Hong angrily: "Damn, are you entertaining Lao Tzu? I can't see how capable this little doll is? You say he'...... He...... Huh!huh!" The monk suddenly got startled, and straightened up. Reaching out and stroking the wound on his back, his face full of disbelief. It turned out that under the twist just now, he found that the injuries that had been tormenting him for several days had actually healed most of them!

Before that, he hadn't done anything special, except that he had just eaten a healing charm drawn by a little doll.

Could it be that it's all the work of that spell?!

Does this little ghost really know how to draw talismans?

The mad Zen master looked at Hu Tan in surprise, his heart was full of questions at this time, but he was speechless for a while. He has been rolling on the rivers and lakes for so many years, and he is a good fighter. It is not an exaggeration to say that I deal with wound medicine every day. But in his knowledge, he had never heard of such a magical spell that could be cured immediately. The seven-day symbol of the Cha family in Yaowang Town is called the world's first healing charm, which makes countless people in the world rush to it, and it also takes seven days to heal, compared with the charm of the little doll, it is simply the difference between the tile dog and the golden rooster.

"What kind of charm are you?" the monk asked, his eyes lit up, he remembered at this time, Lei Hong had said that Ling Fei was also full of praise for this little boy when Lei Hong introduced him just now. This is no joke! It can be said that he is a wonderful hand bodhisattva walking in the world, and I don't know how many sects in the world are willing to take this little doll as a guest of honor.

"Fixing runes. Hu Tan replied with a smile, full of pride. At this time, he was still immersed in Lei Hong's praise and comments. It turned out that in Uncle Lei's eyes, he was no worse than Song Bitu. There are even victories.

"I'm no worse than Song Bitu! I'm no worse than Xing Renwan!" Hu Tan quietly clenched his fists, raised his face slightly to look at Qin Su, and his eyes flashed with brilliance.

Let's not mention Hu Tan's heart fluctuates at this time. Over there, Lei Hong had long expected that the master would definitely react like this, and he was still saying with a smile: "Master." You see that he is low-handed, that's right. However, the Xiaohu brothers only relied on this little skill to make a big splash in Zhaojiazhuang, and more than a dozen famous heroes chased and intercepted him, and they were all played by him. Have you ever seen a child with such a skill?" He saw the inquiring gaze from the master without surprise, and then picked up the highlights of Hu Tan's troubles in Zhaojiazhuang. Then he talked about how Hu Tan set up the White Tiger Devouring Boat Formation the night before, uniting the strength of everyone to fight against Xie Protector, from late night to dawn until the turn of the day.

"Brother Xiaohu is just nine years old this year, but you see, the magic talisman, the formation technique, and the soul shaping method, which one is not a proud means? With such a clever mind and such a temperament that does not admit defeat, if he is taught by a famous teacher, in a few years, what Song Bitu Xing Renwan will not only carry shoes behind him. ”

The mad Zen master frowned and asked, "Why did you get into trouble with the Lohmons again?" and the monsters of Sunset Mountain?" He looked at Hu Tan carefully, suddenly stretched out his palm, and said, "Little doll, come and let me see your pulse." Hu Tan nodded, and stretched out his arm for the monk to hold.

The mad Zen master twisted Hu Tan's veins and closed his eyes to feel the condition of the child's body. At this time, the rest of the crowd quieted down, holding their breath and waiting for the mad Zen master's answer. Hu Tan and Qin Su had already understood Lei Hong's thoughts at this time, and they were secretly grateful in their hearts. He had seen the scene of Qin Su begging Ling Fei to let Hu Tan worship in Shushan in Zhaojiazhuang, and he had seen the conflict between Qin Su and Bai Xian, coupled with what he had seen and heard along the way, he had vaguely guessed the current predicament of his aunt and nephew. Therefore, the strong man will spare no effort to praise Hu Tan in front of the master.

He wanted the crazy Zen master to accept Hu Tan as an apprentice! No wonder along the way, even though Hu Tan kept calling him Uncle Lei, he never changed his words, and he always called Hu Tan 'Brother Hu'. ’

Of course, the mad Zen master is a very good master, he does not rely on any sect background, and he can fight for a reputation comparable to Ling Fei and others by relying on his own practice, and his ability and knowledge are beyond the reach of very many people. He also taught Lei Hong, a well-known apprentice, which shows that his teaching ability is not bad. As for Lei Hong daring to fight against Xie Protector alone in the canyon, and rescuing the crisis several times on and off the cliff, Qin Su and Hu Tan were deeply impressed. If Hu Tan can get such a famous teacher and professor, then a few years later, it may not be impossible to achieve the same achievements as Song Bitu Xing Renwan.

Hu Tan and Qin Su were full of apprehension. I felt a heart pounding rapidly in my chest. After the battle of the canyon, the aunt and nephew had already understood that the eight years of peace they had fought for with the Jade Girl Peak in Zhaojiazhuang had come to naught. The turmoil caused by Hu Tan is too big, and at this time, I don't know how many people with a heart are staring at Xiaotong, and the aunt and nephew are only careless, and the scene of Kancha's death the day before yesterday may be repeated again.

Faced with such a situation, both Hu Tan and Qin Su had an unprecedented desire to improve their abilities. Neither of them wanted to go through the sad situation of closing their eyes and waiting for death the day before yesterday.

A moment later, under the expectant gaze of the aunt and nephew, the mad Zen master slowly opened his eyes. It's just that unlike what the young man expected, the old monk did not show a look of satisfaction or joy on his face, but looked at the child thoughtfully and kept silent.

"Master, Brother Xiaohu's bones are not bad, right?" Lei Hong also noticed the strangeness of the master, and hurriedly asked.

The mad Zen master shook his head and put his hand on Hu Tan's wrist again, but this time the time of exploration was much shorter, but after a while, he put his hand down and opened his eyes to look at Hu Tan, and the complicated expression in his eyes made Hu Tan vaguely have a bad premonition.

"Master, is there something wrong with Tan'er's meridians?" Qin Suqiang asked with a smile.

"He was very badly injured as a child. The mad Zen master said, and after saying this, he stopped saying a word. "What if he's seriously injured? Isn't he getting better now?" Lei Hong asked, he was a little unclear, if he was injured, did he and his master suffer fewer injuries?

The mad Zen master did not answer, as if he had not heard the disciple's question, his brow furrowed, his eyes fixed on the ground, and it was obvious that there was a thought in his heart that made him think a lot. Just when the mad Zen master was still muttering, Hu Tan's mood had fallen to the bottom. He had already judged something from the monk's expression, that is, his qualifications were not as perfect as he expected, so in this way, his ambitions, what to compete with Song Bitu Xingren Wanjiang and Jianghu, what glory lintel to correct his father's name, is not just a dream with an idiot, in vain to make people laugh.

Lei Hong looked at the groaning master strangely, and then turned his head to look at Hu Tan, who was suddenly depressed, and he couldn't understand the situation. Just when he was confused, he suddenly heard movement from the northeast, and hurriedly leaned over and listened carefully.

"Master, there's movement over there, isn't it a fox demon?"

"It's a rich kid from a neighboring village who came out to hunt. The mad Zen master had already come to his senses at this time and said casually. His skills were far stronger than those of his apprentices, and his ears and eyes were more sensitive than Lei Hong, who had only heard faint sounds, and he had already judged the origin of those people from the chaotic sound of horses' hooves and the whistle of the eagle.

"Let's go, you can't stay here long. The monk stood up, patted the snow on the monk's robe, and said, "Let's go to Yingchang Mansion and find something to eat, I've been hungry for two days." And when they had found their way, they went north. When he came out of the forest, Lei Hong asked, "Master, we don't care about the fox demon?"

The mad Zen master said, "They will still chase after them." Lei Hong said happily: "That's just right!" He heard the master say that the strength of the male demon and the master were in the middle of the match, but the fox was even worse, and the fear of the two monsters was swept away. I thought that with the strength of my group of four, could I not be able to deal with the two monsters? At that time, the master resisted the male banshee, he restrained the female banshee, and let Hu Tan maneuver and set up the formation outside, not afraid that he would not be able to find the place where the master was injured.

Unlike Lei Hong, who was flying in Yixing, Hu Tan and Qin Su were a little silent at this time. Qin Su had already roughly guessed the reason why Hu Tan suddenly became depressed, but the mad Zen master didn't say it thoroughly, and she still had hope. Along the way, I wanted to ask for details several times, but when I saw the monk's solemn look on his face, it was inconvenient to speak. The mad Zen master was obviously also worried about a certain problem at this time, and his mind did not belong, and he groaned several times, and his eyes were on Hu Tan to look at it, as if the matter he was worried about was related to this young man. (To be continued.) )
