The two of them were very speculative, so they practiced back and forth in the courtyard, and Yang Yiqing, in order to thank Zilong for saving his life, taught Zilong the mastery of archery - a hundred steps through Yang.

Yang Yiqing sat aside, squinting at Zilong shooting arrows, and suddenly said: "Brother Xu, I have a feeling that the two of us have met somewhere before!" Zilong withdrew his hand and said: "I also feel as if I have seen you somewhere, but I just can't remember." Yang Yiqing seemed to suddenly think of something, frowned suddenly, and then opened his eyes and looked at it carefully, seeing that Zilong was embarrassed, Zilong smiled and said: "Brother Yang, what are you looking at?

"Like what?" Zilong asked when he saw that he seemed serious.

Yang Yiqing didn't answer, and after a long time, he asked Zilong: "Where do you say your hometown is?" Zilong didn't expect him to ask about his hometown, or said honestly: "The suburbs of Beijing, Xiaohe Village in Wutian Town." "Wutian Town...... Little River Village ...... Yang Yiqing chewed on these three words, as if he was thinking about something important.

"Oh, yes, but I'm not from there, my adoptive mother raised me in Little River Village. When I was very young, my biological mother entrusted me to my adoptive mother in Xiaohe Village, and I have been living with my adoptive mother ever since. Zilong also seemed to realize something, and he hoped that Yang Yiqing could tell him the news of his biological mother.

"So, your biological mother must have left you a token?" Yang Yiqing asked.

Zilong immediately took out the piece of jade tied to his head and showed it to Yang Yiqing, "This is the token left to me by my mother, Brother Yang, do you know its origin?" Zilong looked at Yang Yiqing with hope.

Yang Yiqing picked up the piece of jade and looked at it carefully for a long time, frowned for a long time and muttered, "This doesn't look like a thing in the palace?" Zilong Qi said: "Brother Yang, what's wrong?" Yang Yiqing glanced at Zilong and said, "It doesn't seem to be the case, it's useless to think about it." Then he thought for a moment and said, "Zilong, according to the shape of this piece of jade, it is polished according to the style of mosques in the Muslim area, and I am very sure of this." However, it is not known which mosque it is. Zilong listened carefully, he could finally know some news about his background now.

Yang Yiqing continued: "There are many mosques in the areas where the Hui people gather, among which Ningxia has the most mosques, about 500 mosques, which is the place with the highest concentration of Hui people and mosques in our Ming Dynasty. I suggest you go there and take a look for yourself, maybe you can find new clues!" Zilong nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go to Ningxia after I recover from my injuries!" "I can't help with anything else," Yang Yiqing said: "By the way, Zilong, just now you said that you seem to have seen me somewhere, is it true or fake?" "Oh!" Zilong scratched his head and smiled: "I also remembered, I see that your eyes are very similar to an elder I met before, I don't know why, I just feel very similar!" "Who is that elder?" Yang Yiqing asked.

Zilong thought of the father of the Wan'er girl he met in the Shaolin Temple that day, and the senior's eyes were indeed very similar to Yang Yiqing's eyes when he looked at himself, so he told Yang Yiqing truthfully: "It's the father of a friend of mine!" Yang Yiqing smiled: "There are many people in the world who are similar, and it is not surprising." "I don't think you look alike, I just think you look a little bit the same. "Really?" Yang Yiqing smiled, "Then I will have the opportunity to meet your friend's father in the future." ＂......

In the following days, Zilong practiced archery every day, but he was not lonely. Zilong asked the beggars to help, and wrote two letters to the brothers of the beggars to deliver them to the Shengxian Villa and the Dragon Tiger Hall to report their safety, and explain the situation one by one, so that the eldest brother and the third brother could rest assured.

More than half a month has passed in a blink of an eye, Yang Yiqing and Zilong's injuries have almost healed, Zilong is thinking about going to Ningxia to find clues about his mother, and Yang Yiqing is also going to leave the beggar gang and go back to his hometown.

Ren Bufan and the others repeatedly retained, but the two of them had no choice but to send someone to send them away from the beggar gang.

"Lord Yang, Brother Xu, I really can't bear to let you go!" said Ren Gang Leader reluctantly.

"Ren gang leader, without the brothers of the beggar gang sacrificing their lives to rescue, there would be no one for me Yang Yiqing today, I am not grateful for my great kindness, and I will repay it in the future. "I'm also all for the people of Li, without a good official like Lord Yang, I don't know how much the people will have to suffer!" "Okay! If I, Yang Yiqing, make a comeback one day, I will definitely remember the words of the helper, and I will die for the people of the world and the country!" Yang Yiqing said solemnly.

"Okay, Ren Gang Leader, we should also go!" Zilong said: "If there is a chance in the future, I will definitely come to visit Ren Gang Leader!" Ren Bufan said: "Of course, Brother Xu must come to the Beggar Gang to see the brothers of the Beggar Gang in the future, and the brothers are reluctant to let you go! Brother Xu is a man, I didn't make you a friend in vain!" "Send you a thousand miles away and there will be a farewell, Ren Gang Master, stay here!" Yang Yiqing said.

Yang Yiqing and Zilong rode on the road together and said goodbye to Ren Bufan.

After walking for a short time, he met an intersection, Yang Yiqing said: "Brother Xu, Ningxia is far away from the capital, pay attention to safety on the road, take care all the way!"

"Thank you Brother Yang for entrusting me, I will take care of myself, and you should be careful on the way back, don't fall into Liu Jin's trap again. ”

Yang Yiqing nodded and said, "Don't worry, Zilong, my brother's route back this time can't be guessed even if he has ten heads." "Then I'm also relieved, I've listened to Brother Yang say a lot of philosophical words these days, and I've really gained a lot of knowledge!" "Hehe, there must be my teacher in the threesome, Zilong, you are naturally smart, good at kung fu, and willing to endure hardships, this is your advantage, but you have never gone to a private school, and your knowledge of words is limited, so it is still much worse to do big things." In the future, if you have the opportunity, you should watch more masterpieces of famous artists and ask more capable people for advice, so that you can achieve great things, you know?" Yang Yiqing said earnestly.

"I wrote it down, Brother Yang!" "Zilong, you once saved my life, and I keep this kindness in my heart." The ancients said that if you receive the grace of dripping water, you should repay it with a spring, not to mention that you have a life-saving grace for me today, and you will repay it in the future!"

"Okay," Yang Yiqing waved his hand and said, "Let's not learn from those little children, don't worry about the road ahead, who in the world doesn't know you? Don't pass by, be careful all the way!"

Although Zilong and Yang Yiqing have only been together for more than half a month, they know very well that he is a good official who understands the great righteousness and works hard for the country! Whether it is learning or archery, Zilong admires him very much. Now that the two are separated, although Zilong is worried about Ningxia, he is still a little reluctant!

......

Yinchuan is the capital of Ningxia, east of the Yellow River, west of Helan Mountain, rich land, abundant products, is called "plugged in the south of the Yangtze River", since ancient times there is "the Yellow River hundred miles rich Yinchuan" praise, Ningxia Hui people live more, almost sixty percent of the entire population.

Zilong saw that the clothes they wore were different from those of the Central Plains, and felt very fresh, but after watching it for a long time, it was boring, the locals spoke more Chinese, Zilong listened to Chinese with a strong Hui accent, and his worries were reduced a lot, he was always worried that the people here could not understand his words, and hurriedly asked people about the news of the mosque.

The whole Hui people believe in halal, and there are dozens of mosques in the local area, so Zilong was not willing to rashly take out his jade pendant, so he went to a jade shop opened by the Hui people to inquire about the news.

When the shopkeeper saw that Zilong was covered in dust and knew that he was a guest from afar, he hurriedly greeted him and asked with a smile: "This guest, where are you from?

Zilong nodded with a smile and said to the boss: "Boss, you're polite, I'm from the capital." I didn't come in to buy jade, I wanted you to show me something. ”

The boss is a veteran of the business field, and said with a smile: "Okay, I don't know what kind of treasure it is?"

Zilong took out his piece of jade pendant and put it on the table, the boss's face changed, and he said slowly, "This is not an ordinary object!" He slowly picked up the piece of jade, "Pure, too pure." I've been making jade for so many years, and I've never seen such a high-quality jade a few times, it's a priceless treasure!"

Zilong smiled silently.

The boss said: "Look at the workmanship again, fair and meticulous, smooth lines, upright rhyme, this is not an ordinary folk thing, I don't know where the guests come from? Huh? The boss suddenly frowned and fell silent.

Zilong asked, "What?"

The boss said: "But there is one thing I don't understand, this jade is carved with the pattern of my Muslim mosque?"

Zilong breathed a sigh of relief, and said in his heart: "God bless, I finally found it!" Zilong suppressed his emotions and asked, "I don't know which mosque?"

"It's the largest one in Ningxia City, just a few streets west of King An's Mansion. ”

Zilong showed a relieved smile and said with a smile: "Okay, thank you boss! boss, I still have urgent matters, I'll visit another day!"

The boss didn't react for a while, and muttered to himself, "I haven't said the price yet......

When I came to the mosque that the boss said, sure enough, the gatehouse of this big mosque looked very similar to my jade pendant, and there was no doubt in my heart when I saw the people coming and going, and I walked into the mosque.

This big mosque is indeed the largest in Ningxia City as the owner of the jade shop said, the inner hall is a piece, the minaret is like a forest, it is very majestic and magnificent, and the provenance appears simple and unpretentious. Zilong has a feeling of being in Shaolin Temple, and he does feel that it is completely different, but he can't feel that there is a difference, and when he looks closely, he suddenly realizes that there are images of Buddha Bodhi everywhere in Shaolin, and there is indeed no one here, Zilong does not feel smiling.

Zilong didn't know that this big mosque was actually built by the Han and Hui people who believed in Halalism, so many of the buildings were in the Han style.

Zilong walked around the temple, and he really didn't know how to find it for a while, so he wanted to go directly to the worship hall where the imam presided over to inquire, and when he was walking, he suddenly saw a pretty figure, which turned out to be familiar!

The visitor also recognized Zilong, and chuckled: "It's really a narrow road, I didn't expect to meet you here, a thief!

Zilong's eyes rolled, and he smiled: "Amitabha, what kind of place is this, how can the female benefactor speak disrespectfully?"

The person who came was Miao Ling, who stole Duan Heng Ouyang Jin's invitation, and competed with Zilong in Shaolin Temple, ambushing and beating the three of them! Zilong never dreamed that he would meet her here.
