Chapter 34: A False Alarm
For fengyi2008 brother plus more.
Yang Guo ran over with a shout, but halfway through, he suddenly heard a terrible scream, and then calm returned to the forest, as if nothing had happened. If it weren't for his high concentration and the fact that he heard everything so clearly, he would almost have suspected that something was wrong with his ears.
But after this scream sounded, Yang Guo's heart suddenly relaxed, he stopped his steps, turned around and wanted to leave.
At this moment, there was a loud sound in the forest more than a dozen steps away, and in the blink of an eye, four Quanzhen Sect disciples dressed in Dao robes came out. As soon as these four people saw Yang Guo, they turned around and shouted to the forest: "Master, Master, Yang Guo is here, we have found him!"
Yang Guo knew that one of the Taoist priests was Yin Zhiping's apprentice, and he couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart, and said in his heart: "I did everything possible at this time to avoid the people of the Quanzhen Sect, but I didn't expect to be overlooked for a while, but I took the initiative to crash in, and this bad luck really can't be hidden." He knew that Qiu was in the forest, and he didn't dare to leave without any means, but he kept sighing and letting the four of them surround him.
"Bring him in!" There was a shout from the forest, and there was anger hidden in the majesty, and Yang Guo recognized the owner of the voice as soon as he heard it, and it was Qiu Chuji.
"Senior Brother Yang, Senior Ancestor has already given an order, come with us. In order to find you, we are about to go through the entire Zhongnan Mountain!" The Taoist priest who spoke out looked at Yang Guo's gaze, revealing a strong dissatisfaction, and of course, mixed with a hint of schadenfreude.
At this point, can Yang Guo think of any other way? He sighed again and stepped into the forest with his head a little dejected.
As soon as Yang Guo entered the forest, he smelled a thick smell of blood in the air, which made him sick. Looking at the ground again, there is a mess everywhere, with broken branches and broken grass all over the ground, and if you look closely, you will find several large patches of blood, as if you have experienced a fierce struggle.
Yang Guo had already expected this situation in his heart, but he didn't seem to be surprised. He scanned his eyes and searched again, and sure enough, he saw the source of the blood in the grass on one sideβit was two dead boars, one large and one small. The small one had a long wound on his neck, as if he had been wounded by a sword, while the large one was cut off at the same time, and the corpse was separated, which was shocking to look at.
Under the tree on the other side, there were more than a dozen Taoist priests standing side by side at this time, and the six of them who were embraced in the middle were particularly eye-catching. They either hold whisks in their hands, or their eyes are shining, or they have white beards and white hair, or their faces are red, and so on.
When Yang Guo saw it, when he strode over, flicked the hem of his robe, knelt down in front of the six people, and said respectfully: "Disciple Yang Guo, I have seen the master and all the real people!"
Ma Yu smiled with a smile on his face, stretched out his hand to help, and said softly: "Get up, look at you kid, why are you covered in blood?
Yang Guo's nose was sour, and he almost cried out loud, on the way he was rushing just now, he couldn't help but think wildly, the most fearful thing was that the person he cared about very much in his heart became a cold corpse, and now when Ma Yu and others stood in front of him unharmed, and heard Ma Yu's words of concern and blame, the suppressed emotions in his heart were difficult to suppress.
He hurriedly lowered his head and kowtowed on the ground, taking this opportunity to quietly wipe away the tears in his eyes with his sleeves, and when he got up and stood up, he was already on a full smile, and said: "Shi Bozu is really a true person, and he found out all the reasons for it with a pinching of his fingers, and this injury on the disciple's body was injured by a few beasts." β
When Zhao Zhijing reported Yang Guo's matter to Qiu Chuji and others, he deliberately omitted the details of the sword wound Yang Guo, because the five sons of Quanzhen still did not know the source of Yang Guo's injuries. And Yang Guo's mood at this time was still immersed in the joy of reuniting with Ma Yu and others, and there was no need to point out such miscellaneous matters under such circumstances.
Qiu Chuji heard Yang Guo's words, and immediately snorted coldly, and reprimanded: "Full of flattery, there is no right shape at all! Let me ask you, what have you been doing for the past half a day? Who are you staying with?"
Yang Guo's heart couldn't help but tighten, and he said in his heart: "It seems that Shi Bozu and they are really coming for their father-in-law, but they need to think of an excuse to fool the past." He didn't show nervousness on his face, but pretended to be embarrassed and said: "When the disciple was in Jiaxing, he received a favor from a person, so he recognized him as his father-in-law. This time, he suddenly came to visit, and the disciple thought that he should show off in front of him, so he led him around our mountain, so that he could open his eyes and see the demeanor of our Quanzhen Sect. The disciple's move ...... But what's ...... Isn't that right?"
Qiu Chuji shrugged his eyebrows, stared at Yang Guo with blazing eyes, and asked again, "Where is your stepfather at this time?"
Yang Guo shrugged his shoulders and said with some regret: "After the disciple and him went around the mountain, I wanted him to go and meet the real people, but he said that he didn't say anything, saying that there was something important to deal with, and he left not long after, and now where he went, the disciple doesn't know." β
Sun Buji interjected and asked, "You said he was gone?"
Yang Guo nodded and replied: "Yes, his kung fu is much higher than that of his disciple, he can leave if he wants to, and the disciple can't stop him." β
When Wang Chu heard this, the expression on his face was a little complicated, and he said, "It seems that we are a step late. β
Liu Chuxuan frowned slightly, glanced at Yang Guo, and asked, "You were yelling outside just now, but you were looking for your stepfather?
Several other people were reminded by Liu Chuxuan that they also thought of this, and immediately stared at Yang Guo's face.
Yang Guo suddenly felt the pressure unprecedentedly great, and sweat oozed slightly on his forehead, but at this moment, he couldn't hesitate for a moment, and hurriedly replied: "The disciple was about to go back just now, and I heard the sound of a fight here, and I thought that my father-in-law had a conflict with the disciple in our sect, so I reminded him with words." β
When Quan Zhen Liuzi heard this answer, the expression on his face softened a little, which made Yang Guo secretly relieved.
Qiu Chuji suddenly asked Yang Guo: "Guo'er, I ask you something now, you have to answer carefully, you can't hide anything, can you do it?"
Yang Guo knew that the most critical issue was coming, and success or failure was here, so he looked serious and replied seriously: "Although the master uncle asked, the disciple did not dare to hide anything. β
Qiu Chuji nodded with satisfaction and asked, "Do you know the identity of your stepfather?"
Yang Guo shook his head and said, "Since the disciple recognized him as his father-in-law, he has never asked his father-in-law's name, nor does he know his father-in-law's identity. However, since you inquire about the master, the disciple will ask the righteous father next time. β
Qiu Chuji stared at Yang Guo's eyes for a moment, and finally eliminated the trace of anger on his face.
Ma Yu said with a smile: "I said that I must not know the inside story, otherwise I wouldn't have done such a foolish thing." β
Yang Guo pretended to be unaware and asked, "Senior Ancestor, what did the disciple do?"
Qiu Chuji said sharply: "Your stepfather is ......"
Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Ma Yu's words, and the latter said: "Senior brother, since this matter has been fruitless, there is no need to say more, why bother with a child?"
Seeing that Senior Brother intended to protect him, Qiu Chuji couldn't lose his face in front of everyone, so he could only sigh long and stop talking.
Yang Guo had the intention to change the topic, so he asked Ma Yu curiously: "Shi Bozu, what happened here just now, why is it so messy?"
Ma Yu shook his head and said helplessly: "Just now, one of your senior brothers was investigating the situation in the forest, and somehow alarmed a beast and was attacked by it, so your senior brother took out his sword and killed it. I didn't expect to kill a small one, but it attracted a big one, and your senior brother was injured by it carelessly, but fortunately, your Qiu Shibozu arrived in time and rescued your senior brother. β
Yang Guoxin said: "It turns out that the big wild boar was cut off by a sword of Master Qiu, and Master Qiu is so angry!" He looked in the direction indicated by Ma Yu, and sure enough, he saw a Taoist priest sitting on the grass with a wound cloth on his right leg.
Hao Datong asked the five people at this time: "Since that person has left, should we return to the sect now?"
Ma Yu nodded and said, "Everyone has been tired for a long time, let's go back." β
Yang Guo was overjoyed in his heart, and said secretly: "It turned out to be a false alarm! Although there was a bit of an accident, it seems to be going well now, as long as Shi Bozu and they return to the sect, everything will be fine!"
