Chapter Eighty-Nine: Returning Home
"Ahh
The frozen river, the dark hole, Zhang Xuanqing jerked out his head, sighed and wiped his face.
Looking around and seeing that there was no one around, he chuckled, held the edge of the hole with both hands, and with a strong foot, he turned over and jumped onto the ice.
I saw that he was ****, with a strong body, and his whole body was red, like a leather shrimp.
The true qi in his body was running, and the white qi was steaming from his body, like mist and smoke, lining him like an ethereal immortal.
Wiped his body clean, put on the newly bought clothes, Zhang Xuanqing dressed up slightly, sorted out his hairstyle, cleaned himself up neatly, and was well-dressed, no matter who looked at it, he would never have thought that he was still a beggar before this.
Then, he took up the light work and followed the Lotus River to Shouyang Town, which was dozens of miles away.
Shouyang Town is an extremely remote town, although it also belongs to Beizhi County, but it is at the very edge. The town is surrounded by mountains, and there are only about a dozen villages under its jurisdiction, including Guanshang Village.
Guanshang Village is built on the mountain, the green bricks and tiles, the layers are raised, there is a small river under the mountain, the pine forest is covered, the flowing water is murmuring, just like a paradise.
Unfortunately, there is only one small road leading to the outside of the village, which is inaccessible and cannot be developed. Today, there are only 100 households in the village, and the young people all go out to work, and most of the people left behind are the elderly and children.
Zhang Xuanqing is close to his hometown, so he doesn't have any thoughts of being close to his hometown. The pointes are connected, running away from the dust, one step away, and it appears more than ten zhang away, like a loose horse, galloping in the deep mountains and dense forests.
After climbing several mountains and stepping on four or five rivers in succession, he finally arrived at the foot of Guanshang Village before dark.
......
In the evening, the village is very quiet, and the twilight is dark, and the smoke rises from every house.
Zhang Xuanqing stood at the entrance of the village, stopped for a long time, and walked towards his home.
But as soon as he took two steps, he suddenly stopped in front of the first house at the entrance of the village.
The walls of this courtyard are mottled, and there are dead branches of creepers on it, and through the crack in the door, you can see that there are faint lights coming out inside, but you can't hear anyone talking inside, and it seems quiet.
The reason why he stopped here was because he suddenly thought of the old Taoist, and this was not someone else's house, it was the old Taoist's residence!
Looking at the courtyard gate and thinking for a moment, Zhang Xuanqing touched his chin and thought in his heart: "This old Taoist priest is mysterious, it seems that he really has two brushes, and now that he has come back, if he doesn't ask to understand, I'm afraid I won't be able to sleep well." So he decided not to go home first, raised his hand, and knocked on the door of the old Taoist priest.
Bang bang bang, bang bang bang -
After a few doordoor knocks, an old voice came from the courtyard: "Who?" followed by footsteps.
Zhang Xuanqing's heart moved slightly, and he said secretly: This old Taoist priest is the same as himself, nine out of ten sentences are false, and he can't ask anything, so it's better to try him first. With a roll of his eyes, he thought about it, and without waiting for the old Taoist priest to open the door, he directly picked up the light work and flew into the hospital.
However, he had just climbed into the wall, and before he could see the layout of the courtyard, he suddenly felt a strong wind blowing on his face. At the same time, I heard a low shout: "What a gut!" In a trance, I saw that the old Taoist priest had already pounced in front of him.
Zhang Xuanqing was taken aback, and said secretly: What a quick reaction! Hurriedly flew back and raised his hand to block.
Hearing only a snap, the old Taoist priest's palm, like an eagle's claw, slapped on Zhang Xuanqing's arm, like an iron hoop. Fortunately, Zhang Xuanqing's reaction was not slow, and he made a move to "remove the armor of the overlord", and his arm instantly fell out of the old Taoist's palm. Then he raised a foot and lifted it to the old Taoist priest.
The old Taoist priest snorted and scolded: "What a shameless rat, his grandmother's trick with the Taoist master!"
This move was extremely powerful, Zhang Xuanqing didn't dare to take it hard, and with a single turn, the "swimming gossip step" in the gossip palm was used, passing between the old Taoist's claws. At the same time, he took half a step forward, and a move of "half-step collapse fist" was the most ruthless killing move in Xingyi boxing, attacking the old Taoist priest's ribs.
What an old Taoist priest, in the face of danger, shouted softly, his body turned half in the air, his toes clicked over Zhang Xuanqing's fist, and with the help of a vertical, he turned over a few heels and fell a few steps away.
Zhang Xuanqing's eyes lit up when he saw this, where would he leave his hand, without saying a word, he jumped up again, hooked his eyebrows with his index finger, pointed his middle finger up, put his nameless and little finger together, and slightly buckled his big finger, making it the "lock finger" in the gossip palm.
Because when he learned art from Liu Jiannan, he had the three styles of Xingyi, gossip, and Tai Chi, and did not learn boxing and foot routines from Liu Jiannan, at most he practiced practical skills. At this time, he did not have a weapon in his hand, so he could naturally only use these three punches to fight the enemy.
I only heard the old Taoist sneer, did not dodge or dodge, stretched out his hand forward, bypassed Zhang Xuanqing's hand like a spiritual snake, and grabbed his arm. But he didn't hold it firmly, and with a slight touch of his hand at his elbow, he slid backwards. Slid all the way to Zhang Xuanqing's wrist, only to pull and pull, it was actually a method of borrowing strength in Tai Chi. With Zhang Xuanqing's strength, he pulled Zhang Xuanqing to a kneel, and then used the gossip steps to go around behind Zhang Xuanqing, and made the action that Zhang Xuanqing had just done: the index finger was bent, the middle finger was up, the nameless and little fingers were together, and the big finger was slightly buckled, bypassing Zhang Xuanqing's neck and locking it to his throat.
Zhang Xuanqing's reaction was not slow, and his right hand quickly stood in front of his neck, holding the old Taoist's hand. At the same time, he stepped his feet and guessed the surface of the old Taoist's feet. The painful old Taoist priest sighed, jumped back, and didn't forget to kick Zhang Xuanqing's buttocks.
This change of rabbit rises and falls, electric light, a few pieces that happen. In just a few breaths, the two quickly separated.
The old Taoist priest was full of anger, and shouted coldly: "Boy, who sent you, those beasts sent by Maoshan?"
Zhang Xuanqing felt funny, and sighed twice: "I said old man, do you still have an enemy?"
Only then did the old Taoist priest see Zhang Xuanqing's face clearly, his face turned dark, and he opened his mouth and scolded: "His grandmother's little beast, her wings are stiff, and she uses the martial arts she learned from Lao Tzu to deal with Lao Tzu! Damn, Lao Tzu said how do you see that your kid's martial arts path is so familiar, grandma has legs, you kid is tired of being crooked?"
"Hey...... That one...... Don't be angry, old man, you'll be angry again. Zhang Xuanqing accompanied the smiling face, and suddenly felt that something was wrong, and rolled his eyes: "Are you embarrassed to say? What is the rumor of me! I can't beat people, at most it will work, if it weren't for my extraordinary talent and extraordinary roots, I would be so powerful now?"
"Just you, are you still talented? Don't talk nonsense, Lao Tzu passed on your martial arts but didn't hide it at all, you don't practice well and blame me?" The old Taoist priest said for a moment, and looked at Zhang Xuanqing strangely: "No, when did your kid do so good at martial arts?" You must know that Zhang Xuanqing couldn't make two moves in his hands before, and now he is fighting with him, although he is still down, but it is obviously not the same as before.
Zhang Xuanqing continued to laugh, he wouldn't say that it was fed by the ancients, his eyes rolled, and he said: "Don't talk about me first, let's talk about you, what do you mean when you just said the Maoshan faction?" If he remembers correctly, he still "knows" a Maoshan faction.
But seeing that the old Taoist priest's face sank, he said angrily: "You little rabbit cub is embarrassed to ask, if it weren't for you, ......" As soon as he said this, suddenly there was a knock on the door, and another person came out of the house.
The man was dressed in black and had black hair, and his face was gloomy, and as soon as he went out, he said, "Good boy, I can be regarded as finding you." ”
The voice was more familiar, Zhang Xuanqing looked back, and his face suddenly changed: "It's you, Ma Xiaotang?" I saw that the person was not the man in black who asked him to tell his fortune in the first place, and who was it!
"Huh...... Do you remember me......" Ma Xiaotang's face was very bad, and his already gloomy face was even darker at this time.
The old Taoist priest hurriedly stepped forward and blocked in front of him: "Xiaotang, your injuries are not healed now, don't mess around." What's more, it's not to blame Xuanqing for this......"
"Don't blame him, if he hadn't lied to me on July 15...... Can I get to this point now?" Ma Xiaotang gritted his teeth in hatred.
The old Taoist priest smiled strangely when he heard this: "As far as I know, you have found a lot of people to calculate, right? There are so many masters in the world, you don't believe him, but you want to believe him as a little liar...... Hehe, I really don't blame him for this, but ......" glared at Zhang Xuanqing fiercely: "This kid is really hateful, even if he deceives others, he even deceives you." But now is the most important time for you to heal, and you must not be angry and distracted. In a few days, when your injuries heal, it's not too late to trouble him again!"
Zhang Xuanqing looked at the two people in front of him, and suddenly felt a bad feeling in his heart.
Seeing that the old Taoist priest finished speaking, Ma Xiaotang was silent for a moment, the light in his eyes flickered, and after a while, he nodded slowly and said faintly: "Forget it, since the senior of Changkong said so, I will go around him this time." Squinted and stared at Zhang Xuanqing for a long time: "But if he provokes me again in the future, don't blame me for being rude." ”
The old Taoist priest snorted: "It's easy to say, it's easy to say, in the future, I will teach this kid a lesson for Xiaoyou." Ma Xiaotang saluted him and turned back to the house.
Zhang Xuanqing blinked, confused: "I said old man, what is the relationship between the two of you? This kid is very crazy." ”
"People are crazy, that's someone who has the ability!" The old Taoist priest glared at him angrily, and then suddenly sighed: "Actually, the small hall is not easy, don't look at others looking gloomy, but he has a good heart, the reason why this is the case is because of ...... Forget it, it's none of your business, you just have to remember not to provoke him in the future. ”
Where's that, halfway to talk...... Zhang Xuanqing muttered in his heart.
The old Taoist priest didn't give him a chance to ask again, and waved his hand, as if chasing flies: "You kid hurry up, get out, if Lao Tzu is not mistaken, you little bastard has just come back?
With a click, the door closed, leaving only Zhang Xuanqing alone in the courtyard.
