A few days later, Zuo Zhutian received a flying pigeon from Master Tianning. The letter wrote: "Zuo Daxia, seeing words is like a person. The poor monk has clearly understood that this relic is a very important Buddhist holy relic, please be sure to place it properly and worship. It is the rainy season, the heat is sweltering and humid, and the holy relics are very susceptible to moisture damage, so it is not suitable for escort. After three months, on the eighth day of the eighth month of August, the autumn weather is crisp, please open the holy relics. Our monks of Qiyun Temple will bathe and change their clothes, walk to the shore of Taihu Lake, and welcome the holy relics. Please be careful escort to Zuo Daxia, there can be no mistakes, poor monk Tianning, thank you again!"

After reading Master Tianning's letter, Zuo Huatian suddenly felt that this matter was very important. In order to ensure that the escort of the relics was foolproof, he wrote a letter to his New Year's friend, the head of the Huangshan faction, Gu Guangzong. Ask the ancient Taoist to send a disciple of the Huangshan faction with strong martial arts to come to help Zuo.

A few days later, the head of the Huangshan faction, Gu Guangzong, sent back a letter. The letter reads: "The entrusted matter has been made clear, and Lao Dao has sent his eldest disciple Shen Tuqiu, who has just returned to the Central Plains. Another thing to tell: on the eighth day of the ninth month, the Huangshan faction will hold a martial arts conference, and a major event will be announced to the world's martial arts. Gu Guangzong"

Three days later, on the third day of the fifth month. Sure enough, a young man of twenty-seven or eighteen years old, dressed in a wide gray robe and holding a scimitar, came to SF Express to escort and knock on the door.

"Knock Knock"

One of the disciples opened the door and asked, "May I ask what your Excellency is doing?"

The man asked, "Excuse me, this is where SF Express is escorted?"

"Exactly, who are you looking for?" the disciple asked.

"In Xiahuangshan, the eldest disciple of the sect Shen Tuqiu, he came to SF Express to escort and help Zuo Daxia on the order of the family teacher, and he was tired of spreading the word," the man said.

After a while, the door of SF Express escort opened. Left scratched the sky and strode out of the threshold: "It turned out that the senior disciple of the ancient road chief had arrived, and he was disrespectful and disrespectful."

"Don't dare, don't dare. Huangshan sent his eldest disciple Shen Tuqiu to meet Zuo Daxia. The disciple came to help on the order of the family teacher, and asked Zuo Daxia to give him a lot of advice," said Nashen Tuqiu.

Zuo has a lot of contact with Lingshi, and he has heard that Shentu Daxia is a young hero, and for many years, he has been in the prosperous country of Haidong to help Bohai resist the Khitan. For the Huangshan faction, it has won the title of 'the world's martial arts, the mainstay'. However, Zuo is entangled in mundane affairs, and he has never had the opportunity to see the true face of the Shentu brothers," Zuo said.

"The left head has won the prize, and he has only done his part. I have been in Bohai all these years, and I didn't have the opportunity to come to visit the left head of the Huangshan faction, and I also looked at the left head Haihan," said Shen Tuqiu.

"Zuo and Lingshi have a very good relationship, this time I invite Shentu Daxia to come to help, it's really hard for you," Zuo said.

"Since being the head of the family and the family teacher are the same generation, then the younger generation who is the head of the house is below. Please be the head of the house without being so polite, and call it the next daimyo Shen Tuqiu. Nashen Tuqiu said politely.

"Lingshi Gudao is a long immortal, chivalrous and frank, and I have become a friend of the year. Although Shentu Daxia is an apprentice of the ancient road, he is also a famous hero of the rivers and lakes, if Shentu Daxia does not dislike it, we will be commensurate with each other, how about it?" Zuo Xuantian said.

"Okay, Brother Zuo is polite," Shen Tuqiu said.

"Brother Shentu is really refreshing, please inside" After saying that, Zuo Tiantian invited Shentu Qiu into SF Express.

Zuo Daotian and Shentu Qiu walked side by side on the corridor, and Zuo Daotian asked, "Brother Shentu, may I ask if the Lingshi Ancient Dao Master has told you what this escort mission is?"

"Master didn't tell me, but Brother Zuo, please rest assured, since Master has explained, then I don't need to ask what the goods are. As long as you escort the cargo and let it arrive safely," Shen Tuqiu said.

"Okay, Brother Shentu is really chivalrous, then let's escort it wholeheartedly. Anyway, no matter what kind of treasure it is, it doesn't matter to us martial arts people, as long as we fulfill our promises, you say, Brother Shentu?" Zuo Xuantian said.

"Brother Zuo is right, we who practice martial arts and cultivate the Tao are talking about the unity of heaven and earth, nature and humanity. No matter what kind of treasures it is, gold, silver and jade are not worth mentioning," Shen Tuqiu echoed.

"I really didn't expect that the ancient Daoist would have such a profound apprentice as Brother Shentu. Zuo believes that the Huangshan faction will definitely sit firmly in the first place in the martial arts in the future," Zuo Zhuotian praised.

"Brother Zuo has won the prize, how can Shen Tuqiu be deserved? I have heard that Brother Zuo, who was escorted by SF, cut the sky with a big knife, and when I saw it today, it really deserved its reputation. In the future, I hope that Brother Zuo will give me more advice," Shen Tuqiu said.

"Oh yes, Brother Shentu. Lingshi also mentioned in the letter that a martial arts conference will be held in Huangshan on the eighth day of the ninth lunar month, and important events will be announced to the world martial arts at that time. I wonder if you know what's going on?" asked Zuo Xuantian.

When Shen Tuqiu heard this, he flickered and said, "Oh, yes, I don't know what's going on? I just returned to Huangshan from Bohai, and I don't know why Master wants to hold a martial arts conference. ”

"Since its establishment more than 100 years ago, the Huangshan faction has always kept a low profile and never competed with fellow martial artists. I guess there may really be something important about the martial arts conference held by the commander this time," Zuo said.

"Don't care about these for now, let's arrange the escort first, and other things, wait for the first day of August to pass, and then make plans, what does Brother Zuo think?"

"Okay, no problem, then according to what Brother Shentu said, let's plan the escort on the eighth day of the eighth month of August," Zuo Xuantian said.

"Walking the rivers and lakes under the rivers and lakes, it has always been a loner. When I returned to Huangshan this time, I received this order from my master. I have no experience in escorting goods, so I ask Brother Zuo to give me advice," Shen Tuqiu said.

"Hahahaha, it's all my own family, Brother Shentu doesn't have to be polite" After that, Zuo Zhuotian pointed to the disciples who were practicing martial arts in the village, and said: "Brother, look, everyone is stepping up their practice and preparing for the escort mission on the eighth day of the eighth month of August."

Shen Tuqiu took a step forward, came to the disciples who practiced martial arts, and said loudly: "Brothers, down there is Shen Tuqiu, the senior disciple of the Huangshan Sect. I'm here to help you complete this escort mission together. ”

At this time, a man in his early twenties and five feet tall put away the sword in his hand and said, "Song Hui, the eldest disciple of SF Express, has seen Shentu Daxia."

"Okay, let's practice together in the future and escort together," Shen Tuqiu said happily.

Seeing that Shen Tuqiu and his disciples were quickly familiar, Zuo Huatian stood aside and nodded with satisfaction and smiled.

In the next few months, the disciples of Shen Tuqiu and SF Express practiced martial arts every day and learned the rules of the rivers and lakes on the escort road. Soon, the three-month period was up.

On the sixth day of the eighth lunar month, Zuo Zhutian was directing his disciples to practice martial arts. Suddenly, a disciple came to report: "Report to Master, I just received a message from a flying pigeon in Liangzhou, Northwest China."

"Quick, send me the letter"

Zuo Huatian took the note and looked at it, his eyes widened, and he raised his eyebrows and exclaimed, "Oh no."

"Master, what's going on?" asked Song Hui, the eldest disciple on the side.

"The Hexi faction of Liangzhou was suddenly besieged by a strong enemy of the Dade Sect and suffered heavy casualties. This is a letter of help from Hu Yanbei, the head of the Hexi faction, asking me to hurry to Liangzhou to help," Zuo Xuantian said with a frown.

"However, the day after tomorrow is the eighth day of the eighth month of August, and we promised Master Tianning to escort the holy relics to Changzhou," Song Hui said.

"Yes, hey, the head of Huyan is my old friend, and Master Tianning's entrustment has long been taken care of. These two things are very important, and neither of them can be delayed, what can I do?" Zuo Huatian said anxiously.

"This hateful Great Virtue Sect does not dare to come to the Central Plains now, and is doing anything wrong in the north. I'm going to help Huyan and fight them off," Shen Tuqiu, who was on the side, picked up the scimitar in his hand and said.

"Brother Shentu, don't be impulsive yet. Either let's think about how to arrange it, what do you think?" said Zuo Zhutian as he grabbed Shen Tuqiu.

"Okay, please Brother Zuo just give orders," Shen Tuqiu said.

Zuo Xuantian thought for a while and said, "That's it, Brother Shentu, you and Song Hui, with the other disciples who were escorted, will escort the holy relics to Changzhou on the agreed day." I'll go to Liangzhou alone to help Huyan take over."

"Brother Zuo, are you going to Liangzhou alone?" asked Shen Tuqiu.

"Don't worry, I've also fought with the people of the Great Virtue Sect, as long as you are careful, there should be no problem," Zuo Xuantian said.

"Okay then, Brother Zuo, be careful. I will also escort things safely to Changzhou, don't worry," Shen Tuqiu said.

"Master, you can go with confidence, and I promise that I will deliver the things to Changzhou safely. Besides, on the way east here, who doesn't know the banner of our SF escort?

"The wind direction of the rivers and lakes is unpredictable, and we must not take it lightly. Every time you travel, you have to be like the first time, and be careful to sail the ship of ten thousand years, do you understand?" explained Zuo Zhuotian carefully.

"Yes, the disciple understands, the disciple will be more careful if he follows the master's teachings, master, you better go to Liangzhou quickly, otherwise it will be too late" Song Hui said.

"Well, then this time the matter of escorting the holy relics will be hard for you!" With that, Zuo Huatian took the horse brought by his disciple, and after riding it, he quickly whipped the horse and drove away.

Seeing that the master was gone, Song Hui jumped up with joy: "Great, this time I can finally escort alone"

"Brother Song, why are you so happy?" said Shen Tuqiu.

"Shentu Daxia, you don't know, every time I was lucky before, I followed the master, and I never had the opportunity to exercise alone. This time I finally have such an opportunity, do you think I'm happy?" Song Hui said.

"Oh, Brother Song, this can be regarded as a tiger returning to the mountains and swimming in the dragon sea, which is gratifying," Shen Tuqiu said.

"Thank you Shentu Daxia! This time I want to prove it to Master, without him taking the lead, I, Song Hui, can also be safely escorted," Song Hui said proudly. Shen Tuqiu on the side also smiled and nodded.

"Junior disciples, are you happy?" Song Hui shouted to the disciples in a smug manner.

"Happy," the disciples replied in unison.

"This escort task is arduous, in order to improve the confidence of the brothers, how about we not get drunk tonight?" Song Hui asked.

"Good"

So Song Hui took advantage of the left row to leave, and held a big banquet in the SF escort line, and got drunk with all the disciples, until the morning of the third day, there were still disciples walking crookedly.

The third day, the eighth day of the eighth month of August. The day on which the holy relics were to be escorted as agreed.

On this day, Song Hui slashed the sky according to the master's left and made an agreement with Master Tianning. At three o'clock, incense was burned and prayed, and the relics were placed in a special carriage, and together with the disciples escorted by Shen Tuqiu and Shunfeng, they set off to the east to escort the iron letter.

Before that, the escort team of more than 100 people, holding flags, put the carriage with iron letters in the middle of the team, and the group walked to the territory of Jixi County.

Jixi County is a piece of lofty mountains, high mountains and dangerous roads. At this time, Song Hui looked up at the steep mountains around him and shouted: "Brothers, after this mountain, it is the plain. Everybody have to cheer me up and don't make any mistakes."

At this time, Shen Tuqiu also looked up and asked, "Brother Song, this area is full of lofty mountains and mountains, it looks very steep, is there any danger?"

"This area is a border frequented by bandits and roadblocks, so everyone should be careful," Song Hui said.

"Well, let's be careful," Shen Tuqiu said.

Walked for another quarter of an hour. Suddenly, a large number of thorns appeared in the middle of the road ahead, blocking the way. Seeing this, Song Hui waved his hand to signal the team to stop.

"Song Hui, the eldest disciple of Shunfeng in Shezhou, passed through Guibaodi. I don't know which hero opened the mountain and built the road here? I hope that it will be convenient, and Song will definitely go up to the mountain to pay a visit in the future, and I sincerely thank you!" Song Hui raised his head and shouted towards the mountains on all sides.

After Song Hui finished shouting, he saw that there was silence all around, and no one came out to respond.

Song Hui saw that no one answered, so he continued to shout a second time: "The eldest disciple escorted by Shunfeng in Shezhou..." Suddenly, out of nowhere, a few stones popped out of nowhere, knocking the two disciples in the escort team to the ground.

Seeing this, Song Hui hurriedly dismounted in panic and shouted loudly: "Everyone be on guard", and all the disciples listened to the order and drew their swords to prepare to deal with it.

"I, SF Express, have never offended the heroes, if there is a misunderstanding, please show up and give me a chance to explain in the next place," Song Hui continued to shout loudly.

As soon as the words fell, more than a dozen iron cables flew out of the mountains on both sides of the road. More than a dozen black-clad men with hooded heads and masks slid down the iron ropes with large knives in their hands.

Song Hui saw someone appear, and looked forward to explaining it. Unexpectedly, these people popped out hundreds of stones in the air, beating the escorted disciples to their backs.

Those people landed quickly, let go of the iron rope in their hands, and danced their swords to kill Song Hui and the others. Seeing this, Song Hui could only draw his sword to meet the enemy and fight with one of the men in black.

Shen Tuqiu first hid behind the carriage on the side to look at the situation, and when he heard Song Hui's shout, he pulled out the scimitar in his hand and fought with one of the men in black.

Suddenly, the sword light and sword shadow in the valley, and the sound of killing shook the sky. It seems that the gang is only for stealing things, and they don't want to kill people. So all fights are point-to-point.

Suddenly, one of the men in black misses and kills one of the escorted disciples.

"Senior Brother Zhang, Senior Brother Zhang..."Song Hui panicked and shouted loudly.

Another man in black immediately flew over and slapped the killer. Song Hui took the opportunity to fly behind the slapper and tried to sneak attack from behind.

The man in black quickly turned around, dodged to the side, and used a sword move to stab at Song Hui.

Song Hui did a somersault, avoiding the sword of the man in black, and said suspiciously after landing on the ground: "Shaolin Lingxiao Sword Technique?

The man in black frowned and didn't answer, but just slapped at Song Hui. Song Hui Yun Gong caught the palm power. He flew behind him again, and tore off the coat of the man in black with a slight hand. Only then did he see that he was wearing a yellow monk's robe unique to Shaolin warrior monks. A string of black beads on the neck is particularly conspicuous.

Song Hui was puzzled, and he didn't know who slapped him from behind, spitting blood. He grabbed the two beads from the black-clothed man's neck, and at the same time tore off a corner of the monk's robe, and his head fell to the ground in a groggy state.

After Song Hui fell to the ground, he saw several black-clothed people flying into the carriage in a daze, moving the carriage out and snatching it away. Shen Tuqiu stepped forward to entangle, and his left arm was also cut by the black-clothed man who used the "Shaolin Lingxiao Sword Technique" just now.

Seeing that the things were snatched away, Shen Tuqiu had no choice but to help the unconscious Song Hui into the carriage and take him back to She County.
