After the white-haired old man got off Xiao Beiyou's back, he sat in front of the wooden ladder, silent, motionless, looking at the valley with his eyes, ignoring Xiao Beiyou.

Xiao Beiyou felt that the white-haired old man in front of him was both eccentric and mysterious, not an ordinary old man, maybe he was an extraordinary person, he thought: "This white-haired old man can become heavier and heavier on my back, he doesn't look like a thin old man at all, there must be some special skills, how should I treat him well?" he pondered, not knowing what to do for a while?

The white-haired old man saw Xiao Beiyou hesitating and was a little difficult, he said slowly: " Young man, when you carried me as an old man just now, I felt very comfortable, so let's do it, if you want to help me down the mountain, it's okay, but I have a condition, you must meet my requirements, I'll go down the mountain with you, tell you, I'm the bell ringer of this ancient temple, this evening, I must go to the bell tower above to ring the bell on time, now you help me down, and then you go to the ancient temple to play, when the evening is approaching, you have to carry me to the bell tower, you are a young man, carry me up this old man, there should be no problem, right?"

Xiao Beiyou thought: "He is obviously deliberately giving me a problem, just now carrying him down, he is so heavy, it must be more difficult to carry him up, but if I don't agree to him, he has been with me and does not leave, it is also very troublesome, it is better to promise him first, come to him in the evening, help him up the mountain, if he insists on me to carry it at that time, I will carry him for a while and then stop and then carry it, which is also a respect for this white-haired old man." "Xiao Beiyou has always been very good to the elderly and children, and he will not leave this old man alone.

"Old sir. Just do as you say, the juniors will help you down, and when the evening is approaching, the juniors will definitely carry you up again and listen to you ring the bell, okay?" Xiao Bei lobbied.

"Okay! Okay! This is the future generation, let's go!" the white-haired old man said, standing up neatly, he stretched out his hand, and prompted Xiao Beiyou to support him. Xiao Beiyou helped him step by step down the plank road and wooden ladder.

Soon. They arrived at the monk's quarters of the ancient temple, and for the first time, the white-haired old man said words of thanks: "Young man, thank you, old man, I will live here." You're approaching evening. Be sure to come here and wait for me. Carry me to the bell tower, and then I will ring the bell for you, for this old man has been ringing the bell in this ancient temple for more than 30 years. If you can ring the bell in a nice sound, you will be a listener in the evening, and I will wait for you. ”

"Don't worry, seniors, juniors will definitely come to carry you, a word is a certainty!" Xiao Beiyou readily agreed.

Xiao Beiyou walked out of the gate of the ancient temple, looked up at the bottom of the valley, looked up at the thrilling landscape of the Hanging Temple, he was very amazed by the superb technology of the ancients to design and build the Hanging Temple, and was full of admiration for this ingenious architectural masterpiece.

Near evening, Xiao Beiyou arrived near the monk's quarters of the ancient temple as promised, but he waited for a while, the white-haired old man never appeared, Xiao Beiyou was a little disappointed, and thought to himself: "Isn't this old man coming? Could he be playing tricks on purpose? Should I continue to wait for him?" He thought about it and decided to continue waiting for him, he thought: "If I leave like this, wait a while for the white-haired old man really came as agreed, he can't see me, which means that I have lost my trust, this is not good, let's continue to wait!"

After a long time, the white-haired old man finally came in a hurry, and he said, "Young man, you have been waiting here for a long time, right? Let's hurry up, it's time to ring the bell soon, carry me up, don't miss the bell ringing time, hurry!"

Xiao Beiyou didn't want to say anything, he quickly picked up the white-haired old man and walked quickly to the mountain, he felt very strange, at this time the white-haired old man on his back became very light, Xiao Beiyou carried him on his back and walked the plank road like a fly, went up the wooden ladder, and got closer and closer to the bell tower, suddenly, the white-haired old man on his back became heavier and heavier.

Xiao Beiyou could barely bear it, he took steps with difficulty, and thought to himself: "It must be that this mysterious old man is deliberately making things difficult for me, he is almost to the bell tower, he must persevere!" Xiao Beiyou used all his strength, tried all his strength and endurance to exert himself, and finally walked to the front of the bell tower with great difficulty, he was about to put the white-haired old man down, suddenly, the white-haired old man on his back was gone, and the bronze bell in the bell tower had already sounded, and the bronze bell came out with a magnificent and melodious sound.

Xiao Beiyou listened carefully to the bell, he found that the skill of the bell ringer is extraordinary, not only the skill of ringing the bell is very profound, but also, he controls the strength very well, sometimes strong and powerful, sometimes light and moderate, sometimes there is a magnificent sound, sometimes the legend of the beautiful sound, the sense of rhythm is very good, under the cliff, in the deep valley, this melodious bell echoes, giving people a deep feeling.

After a while, the bell stopped, but the afterglow of the sound was still lingering, and the white-haired old man walked out of the bell tower with a smile, and he said to Xiao Beiyou: "Young man, how do you feel after listening to the bell? The bell struck by the old man is not bad, right? You can hear such a bell, you didn't feel a loss when you carried me up just now, right?"

Xiao Beiyou felt that the old man with pale hair and thin body standing in front of him was a martial arts senior with extremely high martial arts, at this time, he hurriedly respectfully said: "Please forgive the younger generation for the previous disrespect, the younger generation has eyes and does not know Mount Tai, I couldn't see your superb martial arts before, it is really very low in knowledge, and my vision is very clumsy, please don't laugh at the senior master, the little one was very disrespectful to you just now, please forgive me!"

The white-haired old man smiled with satisfaction, and he said happily: "Xiao Xia Shi is young, he has a good foundation in martial arts, and he can respect the old man, he is kind-hearted, and his understanding is not lazy, very good!

Xiao Beiyou felt very embarrassed, he said: "The younger generation can't afford the false praise of the seniors, and the superb martial arts of the predecessors can't be seen before, and they are already extremely ashamed, how dare they accept the praise of the seniors, the younger generations sincerely ask the seniors to forgive me, and hope that the seniors can give more advice!"

"Very good! Xiao Xiashi, I won't tell you, when you entered the mountain gate, the old man was already paying attention to you, the old man saw that you had a steady pace, a handsome face, a free and easy demeanor, quite a chivalrous demeanor, and had a good impression of you, and later, you hid behind the wall next to the Jizo Bodhisattva Hall, observing the three black-clothed people besieging Miss Xie, and then later, you appeared, subdued the three black-clothed people, and showed mercy to your subordinates, and did not kill that. After that, the intimate conversation between you and Miss Xie, the conversation with Xie Jingxi and the silence, the old man knows about it, and even the conversation between you and Xie Jingxi and the other three in the silent meditation room, I also heard it, you are a very good young man, although your master Fang Liuhe is not an outstanding hero, but he can cultivate a young man like you, it is not bad, Fang Liuhe has some kindness, you have inherited this advantage, and you learn from him. Liuhe Yin-Yang Palm' also learned quite a bit of Taoism, but the skill is still a little worse, this 'Liuhe Yin-Yang Palm' is more than fierce and not agile enough, but you learned this palm from him, which can be regarded as laying the foundation of martial arts, and it can also be said to be rewarding, but your master Fang Liuhe can no longer teach you any higher martial arts, and you are a young man with a lot of martial arts talent, it is a pity!"

Xiao Beiyou was very amazed when he heard the white-haired old man say, he thought: "The high martial arts of this white-haired old-timer is something I didn't expect at all, he has been following me secretly, carefully observing, not only I didn't notice it, even the silent monk and Lord Xie Jingxi who are strong in martial arts didn't notice it, not to mention, he knows my master and master's boxing skills very well, and can easily say the advantages and disadvantages of the 'Liuhe Yin and Yang Palm', it's really amazing, a person who is not amazing, It is surprising that an old man with a thin body, an old man who cleans the bell tower every day and rings the bell at a fixed hour, and an old gentleman who has been hidden in the ancient temple for decades, can have such profound martial arts knowledge and superb martial arts that you can't imagine!"

Xiao Beiyou admired him very much, he involuntarily knelt down, folded his hands, and said respectfully: "Seniors, please accept the younger Xiao Beiyou, this time I can meet you in the Hanging Temple, it is really a blessing to listen to the teachings of the predecessors, I have benefited a lot, I am very grateful to the seniors for their guidance, and the younger generations should be more humble to learn!"

"Xiao Xia Shi doesn't have to be polite, in fact, some of the old man's previous behaviors are also against you, in order to test your kindness, patience and integrity, the old man deliberately ignores you from time to time, sometimes ridicules and accuses, and also tries to make things difficult for you, deliberately let you carry the old man, and test your basic skills, so that you have a lot of pressure, the old man should also say to you're sorry', but, now, the two of us know each other better, maybe we can have the friendship of previous years, which is good. The white-haired old man said happily.

"You are a senior master, the younger generation is just a hairy boy with shallow knowledge and weak martial arts, how dare you talk to the seniors about the feelings of 'friends of previous years', if the seniors can take the time to give more advice to the younger generations, the younger generations are already honored!" Xiao Bei lobbied.

"We are very fateful, you happened to come to the Hanging Temple at this time, and the old man has been ringing the bell in the Hanging Temple for more than 30 years, and now he has passed the age of antiquity, at this time I want to seriously get acquainted with a young man with good moral character and Su zhì, as a friend who forgets the year, and the knowledge and martial arts he has mastered in his life will be passed on to the world, and you are the young man who is valued by the old man, I wonder if Xiao Xia Shi intends to learn from the old man?" asked the white-haired old man.

Xiao Beiyou hesitated, he had some concerns, he thought: "Listening to the tone of this white-haired old-timer, he wants to accept me as an apprentice, he has been very attentive in advance, and he has sincerely conducted a number of tests and tests on me, he has made it clear that he is past his prime, and he wants to accept a disciple, this is accepting a closed disciple, if you don't disagree, this will hurt the heart of this white-haired old-timer too much, but ......." (To be continued......)
