"Amitabha, it's only three things, Ah Zi girl, you don't have to ask for extravagance. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 After Monk Huijing finished speaking, he turned to the towering Kunlun Mountain and saluted.

Ah Zi reluctantly drifted away with the two.

More than a month later, Cao Xu and his entourage returned to Juxianzhuang.

Monk Huijing spent three days in Juxianzhuang, drinking wine in a big bowl and eating meat, and made up for some of the weight that had been severely reduced due to the westward journey.

In June of the fifth year of the Great Song Dynasty Zhezong Yuanyou, the monk Huijing took the ice silkworms that belonged to him and returned to the Shaolin Temple to show off.

Cao Xu, on the other hand, is planning a southward journey.

The first stop on the southbound journey is Drum Mountain.

Cao Xu is still very interested in the martial arts of the Carefree School. These are all important assets for his further improvement.

Before leaving, he specially asked the beggars to send a greeting post to Su Xinghe, the "Mr. Smart Debate".

Drum Mountain is in the south of Song County, northeast of Qu Yuangang, and belongs to the Funiu Mountain system. Funiu Mountain is the branch of the eastern section of the Qinling Mountains, and the southeast is connected with the Tongbai Mountain of Nanyang, which is in the northwest-southeast direction, about 800 miles long, and is the watershed of the Huai River and the Han River.

A few days later, Cao Xu took Ah Zi to the foot of the Drum Mountain.

The next day, the two of them went up the mountain road early in the morning. Walk to noon, the terrain is getting higher and higher, after walking for more than half an hour, come to a place, see the bamboo shade forest, the scenery is quiet, next to the mountain stream with a giant bamboo to build a pavilion, build elegant, extremely ingenious, bamboo is the pavilion, the pavilion is the bamboo, at a glance, can not tell whether it is a bamboo forest or a pavilion.

The two sat down in the gazebo and rested for a while.

Not long after sitting down, a young man dressed in a rural peasant's shirt came to the pavilion, bowed his hand, took out a letter and handed it over.

Cao Xu knew that this must be a disciple of the "Deaf and Dumb Sect" founded by Su Xinghe.

At that time, Su Xinghe was coerced by his junior brother Ding Chunqiu, and in order to prevent his disciples from being killed, he sent them all away. Later, in order to avoid Ding Chunqiu, he pretended to be deaf and dumb, founded the deaf-mute sect, and accepted a group of deaf-mute people as disciples.

After Cao Xu read the letter, he nodded at the young man outside the pavilion and said, "It's me." ”

When the young man heard this, he immediately took out a cannon from his bosom and lit it.

With a "bang", the artillery shot into the sky, followed by a "pop" in mid-air, and exploded to pieces.

After a while, a group of people came down the mountain road, a total of more than ten people, all dressed as villagers, each carrying a long blade in their hands. When I got closer, I saw that these long objects were not blades, but bamboo poles. There is a rope net tied between every two bamboo poles, which can be used by people.

Cao Xu smiled and said to Ah Zi beside him: "Master Suke, you're welcome, sit down." ”

After the two men sat on the rope net, the young men carried one by one, walked like flying, and quickly ran towards the mountain.

A moment later, we entered a valley.

The valley is full of pine trees, and when the mountain wind passes, the sound of pine is like waves. After walking through the woods, he came to the three wooden houses.

I saw a short, thin, shriveled old man sitting under a big tree in front of the house.

There was a big stone in front of the old man, and there was a chessboard on it, and under the sun, the blacks and whites on the chessboard were all shining. At this time, he was contemplating the chess game, indifferent to what was happening in the outside world.

Cao Xu stood up from the rope net, took the package he was carrying, and walked straight to the front of the bluestone chessboard.

Qin, chess, calligraphy and painting, Cao Xu is slightly familiar with piano skills, which was specially learned in order to get a glimpse of the mystery of Huang Zhonggong's "Seven Strings Invisible Sword". As for the other three, I won't mention them.

Cao Xu directly put the package in his hand on the chessboard, and the old man's train of thought was interrupted, raised his head, and glared at the rude guest in front of him.

"If you have any temper, Mr. Clever Debate, you might as well wait until you have seen the gift I have brought you, and then you will have a seizure. Cao Xu said.

Su Xinghe snorted coldly to suppress the anger in his heart, and with a wave of his hand, a young man stepped forward and untied the package that Cao Xu placed on the chessboard.

Inside the package was a box, and the young man opened the lid of the box and saw that there was a human head inside, so he was shocked and took a few steps back.

Su Xinghe waved his hand, and the young man bowed and retreated.

Su Xinghe carefully looked at the head in the box, and after a while, he suddenly laughed "hahaha......" and muttered to himself: "Ding Chunqiu, I didn't expect you Ding Chunqiu to have today's ......." ”

All the disciples of the deaf and dumb sect were shocked by Su Xinghe, isn't his master a deaf and dumb person, how can he suddenly speak.

After venting fiercely, Su Xinghe calmed down, took out Ding Chunqiu's head from the box, and carefully examined it.

After a long while, after Su Xinghe identified the authenticity, he stood up, walked up to Cao Xu and bowed, and said, "Thank you Gongzi for getting rid of this traitor for this faction." Great kindness, unforgettable. ”

Cao Xu hurriedly helped Su Xinghe up and said, "The younger generation came this time, and he also asked for the free faction. Therefore, he deliberately went to the Western Regions and took Ding Chunqiu's head as a meeting gift. ”

"Please also ask Gongzi You to make it clear. Su Xinghe said.

"I'm afraid Mr. Congwen can't be the master of what I want. Cao Xu said.

Su Xinghe stared into Cao Xu's eyes, although Cao Xu had already made his position and attitude clear by killing Ding Chunqiu, Su Xinghe still couldn't put his mind at ease.

Cao Xu smiled and said, "Mr. Congwen, if I have malicious intentions, you can block me a few tricks." ”

"Alas. Su Xinghe sighed, he was not Ding Chunqiu's opponent, but Ding Chunqiu was defeated at the hands of Cao Xu, and the gap between the two was self-evident.

Although he didn't know where this person learned about the secrets of the Easy Sect, now that things had come to this point, what could he do.

The only thing that makes Su Xinghe feel fortunate is that judging from what has happened so far, this person still has good intentions towards the Loose Sect.

Su Xinghe led Cao Xu to the three wooden houses behind him, stretched out his hand and pointed to the wooden houses and said, "Young Master You, please come in." ”

Cao Xu looked at the three wooden houses without portals, and raised his hand to be a palm, and the mixed yuan palm was fierce and strong, and a big hole was broken with one palm.

Walking into the room, as soon as Cao Xu looked up, he saw a cliffless suspended in the air, as if sitting in the air.

There was a black rope on Wuyazi's body, and the other end of the rope was attached to the beam, but because the wall behind him was pitch black, and the rope was also black, and the two blacks were stacked on top of each other, so the rope could not be seen.

"At the end of the school, I entered Tanzhi and saw the predecessors of the Carefree School. Cao Xu said.

"Hey, aren't you a disciple of Xinghe?" asked Wu Yazi in surprise.

"The junior went to the Western Regions a few days ago and took Ding Chunqiu's head, and Mr. Su agreed to let me come in to meet the senior. Cao Xu said.

"Ding Chunqiu's head, is this true?" Wu Yazi asked excitedly and loudly.

"Wuyazi's predecessor called Mr. Su in and asked. Cao Xu said.

"Xinghe, come in. Wu Yazi's voice reached outside the wooden house.

"Yes, Master. Su Xinghe's voice was a little excited.

Footsteps sounded outside the door, Su Xinghe walked in with a box, went straight to Wuyazi's side, opened the box in his hand, held it high, and said, "The disciple has already checked it, and it is indeed the head of Ding Chunqiu's traitor." ”

"Ding, spring, autumn. Wu Yazi looked at the head in the box and said word by word.
