July is a time of fire.

The way of heaven is circulating, the four seasons go back and forth, and the cold and summer follow one after another year after year, never tireless. In times of peace, such weather is always a source of complaints. Ordinary people don't have a spell to escape the heat, so they can often only hide at home and water to cool down. On the other hand, they are worried that the scorching heat will make the crops in the fields thirsty for water and miss their livelihood in the coming year. It was really psychosophical, and it was hard to suffer.

It's just that in the fourth year of Yongxi, the poison of the scorching sun in the sky was even more than in previous years, but at this time, there were very few people complaining.

From Xijing to the south to Yuanzhou, within a thousand miles of land, there are countless abandoned villages. A large area of fields is full of wild wormwood, dense and straight as tall as a person, sometimes there are white bones buried in the forest, a little white in the green bushes, but it is a sad scene. On the state and county roads, the refugees who fled the famine never rested for a day, their clothes were ragged and thin as firewood, and they went south to the north, like duckweed in the water, leaving the direction of their lives to the judgment of heaven.

The scorching sun is merciless, rising and setting every morning, scorching thousands of sentient beings underground without pity.

At such a time, those who can complain that the weather is too hot, except for the super-rich families in a few places, are only those who have no worries about food and clothing, and are suffocated by idleness.

Jiangning Mansion. It's noon.

In the courtyard of the He family, He Jiangzhou was wearing a blue flower silk shirt at the door of the wing, looking up at the sky, and wondering that the weather was too hot. He has obviously used ice techniques to relieve the heat, where do you really feel hot, but the scenery is born from the heart, and the heart is not beautiful, so the hot day seems to him to be unbearable.

He was waiting for Qin Su to go out. But Qin Su was full of regrets since he was bumped into by his sisters the day before yesterday, where is there still leisure to go out to play with him? He Jiangzhou was anxious. But he was helpless and lost a lot of good words. repeatedly promised to go out with hidden traces, but Qin Su was already determined. refused to open the door, so he could only look at the door with a bitter face and sigh.

And at the same time, twenty miles south of Jiangning Mansion, on the Jade Girl Peak, another person was also in a mood suddenly because of Qin Su's message.

"What!she's in Jiangning Mansion?!" Sui Zhenfeng stood up from the chair and leaned forward across the table, the desk was swayed by her, and a delicate jade carved pen holder fell down, "Bang!"

"Yes. Uncle Boss, when we were running errands in Jiangning Mansion, we saw Senior Sister Qin walking with a man with a child by her side. ”

"Man, who could it be?" Sui Zhenfeng tilted his head and thought for a while, his eyes were blazing, and asked, "Are you not mistaken?"

"That's right, uncle. Hui An replied respectfully, "We called her, and she found out that it was us." I turned around and ran. ”

"Why do you want to run? Why do you want to run!" Sui Zhenfeng walked out with his hands in his hands and shouted angrily: "Does she really not want to see me as a master again?!" lost his temper for a while, turned his head and asked a few disciples: "She ran away, why don't you stop her!

The three of them looked at each other. He couldn't answer. In the end, Hui An lowered his head and said, "We are not familiar with the terrain, so we chased her for a long time...... Only...... Only...... I can't find her. ”

"Rice buckets! are all rice buckets!" Sui Zhenfeng waved his hand vigorously and shouted, "I usually see that you are quite clever. Why can't you do it at the critical moment? Senior Sister Qin has been entering so late than you, can't your light body technique be as good as her? Why are you not familiar with the terrain...... Hmph! It's all an excuse! Even if you can't catch up with her. Hurt this dead girl and bring it back to me first, won't it?!"

Several disciples bowed their heads. I thought to myself: "Senior Sister Qin is your treasure in the palm of your hand, who dares to hurt her." It's just that he knew that Uncle Shi was completely unreasonable when he was angry, so he didn't dare to argue, and he was silently reprimanded, and he didn't dare to say anything.

Sui Zhenfeng walked around the study several times, scolded a few unlucky disciples, and finally temporarily relieved his anger, and shouted: "Go and gather your junior sisters, all of them will go to Jiangning Mansion for me, and check them for me door to door, if you can't find out, you don't have to come back." ”

"Yes, Uncle Master. The three of Hui'an bowed down and replied, turned around to Yuhua Hall, and rang the bell to summon the junior sisters not to mention it.

"Dead girl, come back and see if I don't peel your skin!" Sui Zhenfeng scolded hatefully, but there was no anger in his heart, but worry and joy were mixed half. Happily, knowing Qin Su's whereabouts, she is still alive and well. What worries is that Qin Su, this kid, is incomprehensible and easily trusts people, so don't be deceived.

Who was the man with her? Could it be nonsense?

"No way. Sui Zhenfeng shook her head and thought, "The soul of that dog thief is still in my hands, how can he wake up?" Thinking of this, she turned her head to look at the closet behind the desk, on the wooden shelf on the third floor, in the middle of a pile of law books, there was a small bright yellow porcelain bottle upright, and the mouth of the bottle was sealed with a red silk lock charm, but it was not the soul sealing bottle that stored Hu Buwei's soul!

It turned out that at the heart washing hall that day, her action of smashing the bottle was just a show, she just wanted to get rid of Qin Su's infatuation, and she didn't really disperse Hu Buwei's soul. It's just that she is as sophisticated as her, and after all, she can't compete with the variables of creation, but she didn't expect that there would be branches at this juncture, Qin Su didn't know where she heard about what happened to her parents, and under the pressure of the two, she actually performed that fierce scene.

Sui Zhenfeng sighed in his heart, and really regretted his urging that day. If you had been more cautious, it wouldn't have been like this.

She thought silently for a moment, unable to relieve the worries in her heart. He shouted out the door, "Bai Xian, you come in." ”

The clever eldest disciple replied crisply, gently pushed the door and walked in, "Master, you called me?"

"Come, Bai Xian. Sui Zhenfeng beckoned, "You have always been good friends with Senior Sister Qin, do you know if she has any relatives and friends in Jiangning Mansion?"

"She's never been down the mountain, so she has no friends. Bai Xian looked surprised and asked the master: "Have you found the whereabouts of your junior sister?"

"Well, just now Hui An said that he saw her in Jiangning Mansion. ”

"Ahh......h Is...... Great!" Bai Xian shouted happily, and anyone could hear the excitement and joy in her words. "It turns out that she has been lying to me that day, saying that I should stay away from here, and I still heard the truth. That day, Bai Xian watched Qin and Su go away on a donkey before returning to the mountain to say goodbye. lied that Senior Sister Qin was disheartened and had decided to leave Jiangnan. I couldn't do anything about it, so I had to go back to the mountain to ask for help. Sui Zhenfeng and Thunder Hand Zilian rushed to stop after hearing the news. But he couldn't catch up, he pounced, Qin Su had already gone far, and when he wanted to find someone to ask, even the old peasant woman didn't know where to go. Returning to the mountain to ask Bai Xian, Bai Xian only said how she knew how to move with reason, and persuaded her in every way, but her sister was resolute and did not let go. In the end, she was forced to die, so that she had nothing to do.

The two elders He Yu had him, and Sui Zhenfeng not only scolded Qin Su for being ungrateful when he was angry, but also couldn't blame Bai Xian's faults, but relied more on this big disciple.

"Master, where does my sister live now, let's go and get her back. After these days, it is time for her anger to subside. Bai Xian said.

Sui Zhenfeng shook his head and sighed. "I just don't know where she lives, that's why I'm looking for you. She frowned worriedly. As if to say to himself, "This child has been in the mountains since he was a child, and he has no chance to socialize with people...... That...... Who's the man with her?"

"Man. Bai Xian sneered in her heart and lowered her head. Thought: "Senior Sister Qin, can't you bear the loneliness so soon? I've learned everything. ”

"Bai Xian!" Sui Zhenfeng suddenly shouted, and Bai Xian was taken aback. Hurriedly raised his head: "Master." ”

"You go to Yuhuatang and ask Hui'an to check all the inns and hotels in Jiangning Mansion carefully. Then go down the mountain immediately, take my name card to the various martial arts families for a visit, say anything, you act with your own camera, keep some thoughts, and find out the whereabouts of Qin Su, the dead girl!"

"Bang!"

The air roared, and the blue and red lights flashed for a moment, turning into a stream of fire and dissipating. The two young men fought in the air and rolled over and fell to the ground. One is open-pawed, the horse is steady, and the other is standing on one leg, but it is a green crane winging posture.

This is the courtyard of the beast-shaped gate of Jiangning Mansion, dozens of young disciples are standing in two rows above the hall, watching the two senior brothers in the center of the hall compete in martial arts.

The head Zhang Baitao looked proud, sat on the seat in the middle, and smiled. The two disciples who were competing had obviously obtained the essence of the two sets of boxing techniques, 'Tiger Momentum' and 'Crane Tianxiang', and the fire was surging between their gestures, and the red and blue aura was expanding and contracting between their palms and fingers. Seeing that the two beloved apprentices lived up to their expectations and had such a hot time at a young age, he was of course happy as a master.

"Hey!" The two looked at each other for a moment, and the disciple who made the Tiger Fist suddenly roared, his right claw clenched into a fist, and turned in a circle from the top of his head, and he naturally changed his trick in the air, and when he held it in his chest, it had been replaced by the momentum of 'Xiaogang'. So that the crane fist does not dare to slacken, one-legged force, 'support' leaps into the air, arms stretched into the shape of flying wings, ten fingers constantly changing, but also extremely fast to change the fingers.

"Drink!" made the disciple of Tiger Fist scream, his eyes widened. There were faint black lines on his forehead, and with the shouting, a strong wind rose above the hall, and a bright red light curtain was as straight as a few feet of red silk, breaking through from the fierce wind, and swept towards the disciple who made the crane fist.

When Kankan was about to hit his ankle, the disciple's finger was just pinched, and the 'White Crane Three Stacks of Water' spread out, and his figure suddenly rose a foot, allowing him to pass this sharp attack, and then, instead of retreating, he advanced with one foot and a slight bow, and suddenly turned forward with a big somersault, like a giant eagle, and threw down the head of the disciple who made the tiger fist.

This attack is condescending, the speed is sharp, and when the opponent's moves are old, how can it be easily resisted. A group of onlookers and disciples all exclaimed in their hearts, that made the tiger fist have no time to retract his strength, seeing that the senior brother's big foot had broken through the door, in desperation, he broke off again, crossed his arms to protect his face, his body arched slightly, and the black lines abruptly stretched out from the bare skin on his body, and the originally wide robe was quickly covered with muscles.

"Da!" a foot kicked lightly on his arms, and the sound of wind and thunder died down. The blow that seemed to contain strength was withdrawn so gently and skillfully. Looking at the hall again, the disciple who made the Tiger Fist had doubled in size in an instant, and his arms and neck, black stripes covered with flesh and skin, looked similar to a fierce tiger.

"Senior brother, I agreed. The crane fist smiled, bowed his hands, and turned back to the middle of the disciples. The face of Tiger Fist was full of shame, he saluted his master, and returned to the queue.

"Okay!" Zhang Baitao on the seat clapped his hands and said, "It seems that Zhao'er is slightly stronger." The water of the Ascending Cloud Step and the White Crane Trifold is excellent. He turned to the disciple who was wielding the Tiger Fist, who was slowly withdrawing his strength, the shape of the change slowly fading, the knotted muscles shrinking in circles, and the black streaks that covered his body also sank into his skin.

"At the beginning, the tiger was also very good, paying equal attention to offense and defense, and the softness was rigid, and it was obvious that you were very attentive to learning this kung fu. But starting from the middle section, he gradually focused on rigidity and fierceness, and forgot the essence of the tiger's strength. I see that the more you go to the back, the more you don't look like you, and you were forced out of the tiger shape by your senior brother with three stacks of water. He paused for a moment and said, "After all, you can't change your frizzy temperament, and you are so eager to knock down your opponent, but what's the matter? If it weren't for the same art today, but for the rivers and lakes, you would have died several times, how could you have a chance to listen to my lesson again. ”

The disciple who made the Tiger Fist was ashamed and replied in a low voice: "What the master taught is that the disciple should keep it in mind. ”

"I've told you many times that you're always absent-minded when you just come out of the soft guard, and you stay three points. Zhang Baitao stood up with a serious lesson on his face, and the outer robe on his body automatically unbuckled and fell onto the chair, revealing the white stub inside.

"You're optimistic, I'll show you the 'Xiaogang' again. Figure out for yourself what the difference is. The old man jumped into the center of the hall, rolled up his sleeves slightly, and slowly turned his right fist to his chest and stood up. It is the starting point of 'Xiaogang'.

A gentle breeze swirls around.

The disciples watched with bated breath as the master demonstrated this trick. The master in the field was really different from the junior brother just now, although the starting posture was generally the same, but the invisible sense of coercion was too strong.

"As if closing the Kaiyuan, the heavy fire extended the Taiyi Pass, a tiger stayed behind in the body, and the nine beasts rushed through the purple palace fence. ”

"Hulong-" A thunderous explosion swept through the center of the hall, shaking the roof beams. Zhang Baitao's right arm stretched out sharply, but it didn't stretch out, and his elbow was bent, obviously leaving a little momentum. "Look, this is strength!" The red light burst out, and a few feet in front of Zhang Baitao, a large arc bent straight to the ground, and then, in a circle, quickly and incoherently turned into a huge tornado. The disciples only felt a strong wind blowing in their faces, and their eyes were almost unable to open.

"The breath of the Kaiyuan acupoint is circling, you have to understand what it means to be open and closed. Zhang Baitao said lightly. But the words were not loud and clear in the hall where the storm was coming, and every disciple could hear it.

"I won't say much about the heavy fire that burns Taiyi Pass, but the essence of 'Xiaogang' is in the last two sentences: a tiger stays behind in the body, and the nine beasts rush through the purple palace fence. You just competed with your senior brother, and you used all your strength to death, hiding the emptiness in your chest, how could you not be taken advantage of by his offensive. ”

As he spoke, the red tornado transformed by Zhang Baitao's skills swirled bigger and bigger, and the heavy bluestone slabs on the ground were ground into countless gravel and danced wildly in the wind.

"Bang! Bang!" A series of knocking sounds sounded like popping beans, and a hundred and ten stone grains broke out of the whirlwind's grasp and slammed into the sandalwood chair where Zhang Baitao was sitting just now, knocking out many deep pits on the shiny and blackened surface.

Zhang Baitao saw the envious and excited expressions in the eyes of the disciples, and he was full of pride for a while, and he had the intention to show his kung fu, and immediately let out a deep sigh, and the red tornado in front of him doubled in an instant, and the wind increased sharply, and the entire bluestone slab was lifted up.

The disciples were in an uproar, and they all took three steps back together, watching the master perform his work.
