7. Be ambitious
When the goshawk saw this person, he was puzzled, but he felt familiar, he held the hilt of the sword in his hand and said, "Who are you? Don't take another step forward! Otherwise, don't blame me for being ruthless under the sword!"
The man was very short and thin, the size of a little autumn sheep, covered in white and black hair, very dirty, but his demeanor was very decent, and he shook himself to the ground and asked, "The old man heard what you said before, and called this little doll 'Your Majesty', which is really incomprehensible. Zi said: 'Those who know move, and those who are benevolent are quiet', the old man is active by nature, and he hopes that you will solve the old man's confusion. ”
Xue Binghan smiled: "Zi said: 'The gentleman asks for himself, and the villain asks for others. Since the old man has a request for us, why don't you tell us the origin of our surname first? ”
The little old man laughed and said, "Yes, yes." The old man is a hermit in this cow and horse mountain, and he calls himself 'Yin Bodhi'. ”
When the goshawk landed like thunder, his body was shocked, and he asked, "Your name is 'Hidden Bodhi'?" Thinking of all the blessings and misfortunes in the valley of the barbarian king in the past, all of them seemed to be facilitated by a 'hidden Bodhi', and he was horrified in his heart, which was not trivial, but he immediately settled down as usual, and did not show half of his color.
The short old man said: "The old man has lived in this mountain for more than 200 years, and he is very familiar with every place."
Except for the goshawk, everyone didn't believe it, Zhao Shengqi said: "Uncle, you said more than 200 years?
The short old man said: "I am more than five hundred years old this year, and after five hundred years old, I don't bother to remember the age." I used to live in the desert, the scenery here is slightly better, I live here very comfortably, and I don't want to leave. ”
Zhang Axe Shan thought to himself: "This person overheard us talking, we didn't know anything, he is either a martial arts master, or he has a demon law, such a person, and we are talking nonsense here, most of them have other plans." It's better not to deal with him. Thinking of this, he stretched out his hand and patted the old man on the shoulder, implying several grappling moves, no matter how the old man resisted, he had a way to deal with it, and he had to restrain the old man in one move.
The old man didn't look at it, his arm suddenly stretched out, suddenly grew a few feet, and also patted Zhang Axe Mountain on the shoulder. Zhang Axe Mountain shouted: "Sure enough, it's a mountain demon!" made a move "big heart-entanglement hand", and turned his shoulders and palms. Grabbing the old man's long arm, he felt that the enemy's internal force was hitting like a tide, he shouted, and was about to break the old man's long arm, but the arm shrank back with a "whoosh".
Zhang Axe Mountain's internal strength failed, and he had to be angry, but his internal strength was profound, and he was a first-class master in the rivers and lakes, and he adjusted his breath in an instant. The hostile heart was great, and he was about to pursue, but he saw the old man take off his robe, revealing his hairy body. Crawling on the ground, he said, "Let's do it slowly, spare the old man's life!"
The goshawk stood in front of Zhao Sheng and said coldly: "Hidden Bodhi." Let's stop beating around the bush, are you a man or a beast, and what is the purpose of coming to us?"
Hidden Bodhi had tears in his eyes. said: "The old man was born with this ugly appearance, people are not like people, ghosts are not like ghosts, but like a wild monkey in the mountains, everyone sees me, either shouting and killing, or coldly speaking, I can't stand the torture, so I avoid the desert." But the old man is full of wealth, pedantic and manly, and has the way to ascend the throne of the auxiliary king, and the way to compete for the world. The old man has lived here for a long time, and when he learned that a noble person was passing by today, he waited on this mountain. Otherwise, with your ears and eyes, how can you not detect the old man?"
Xue Binghan saw his sincerity, and hurriedly said: "Old man, the appearance of a person is just a skin, don't be sad about it." ”
Yin Bodhi praised: "The little Taoist priest is really kind-hearted. ”
When Zhao Sheng heard him say that "the way to ascend the throne of the auxiliary king, the way to compete for the world", he couldn't help but feel excited, and secretly thought: "Did he eavesdrop on what we said before and follow our words and talk nonsense? Or does he really have the ability to predict the future? I'll give him a try." So he said, "Sir, please get up, we will never hurt you." But if you really have what it takes, you might as well guess who I am. ”
Yin Bo raised his head and shook his head: "I don't know what the name of this little doll is, but I see that your two friends call you Your Majesty, and naturally I know that you mean to be in the world and have extraordinary ambitions." ”
Zhao Sheng laughed and said: "The old gentleman is serious, the name of Your Majesty is just that I am arrogant, anyway, there is no one around, so I force my subordinates to be so commensurate, in fact, I have no ambitions, but I am just an ordinary man." ”
Yin Bodhi stared at Zhao Sheng for a long time, and when he saw that Zhao Sheng's eyes were open and fearless, his expression became more and more awe-inspiring, and he said: "The old man has indeed lived in this mountain for hundreds of years, but you don't believe it. But I know this place well, I am familiar with all kinds of dangers, and a few words of experience should help you get out of danger, and I invite you to listen. ”
Zhao Sheng said: "Boss, please speak, let's listen to Yuyan." ”
Yin Bodhi said: "You have broken through the Barbarian Bull Stone Henge before, and it is really thrilling, but the Barbarian Bull in this array has been sleeping for a long time, and it was only a few years ago that the old evil was resumed. There were few people coming to this Niuma Mountain, and now the avenue is blocked, and there is only a small trade road in and out. If you want to go out, the old man can point out a clear way and send you away from danger. ”
Zhao Sheng thought to himself: "It turns out that there is another secret passage back and forth, we don't know the details, so many brothers died in vain." He regretted it in his heart, but his expression was indifferent, and he asked, "I wonder if the road ahead is safe?"
Yin Bodhi said: "Little doll, if you turn back here, you can take a detour back to the southwest."
Everyone was shocked, thinking: "How did he know that we were going to the southwest?" but thought: "When he said the southwest, he may not mean Yunnan, but I am afraid that it is nonsense." ”
Yin Bodhi continued: "But if you want to make this trip worthwhile and harvest great aid, you need to go northwest for thirty miles, where there is a Zangyi Mountain, a Yin Cao Forest, a martial arts villa on the mountain, and a green forest cottage in the forest. If you choose one to help you, one of them will be willing to return to you, but you will not be able to have both. This is a move to seek wealth in the midst of danger. I hope that you will think twice about the little doll. ”
Zhao Shengqi said: "Uncle, how can I convince them to submit to me?"
Yin Bodhi said: "The secret of heaven cannot be revealed, not to mention that the auspicious people have their own heavenly appearance, if the little doll is really the emperor, even if you don't want to convince people, others will surrender." With that, he stretched out his foot and stepped on the ground, and suddenly a straight crack appeared, which stretched out in the northwest direction, extending six or seven feet away, before disappearing. This land is hard, he made cracks at will, and he really swayed freely, as soon as his foot skills were revealed, the goshawk and Zhang Axe Mountain looked at each other, secretly surprised, and thought: "What a strong force!"
Zhao Sheng saw that this person's words and deeds were strange, and he was undecided, and he was afraid that this was a conspiracy, so he was silent for a while, and Yin Bodhi saw him like this, and suddenly laughed, and said: "If you believe it, you will have it, and if you don't believe it, you will not have it." is so timid, how can it be easy to get it in this world?" said that, he put on a sackcloth, jumped a few times like an ape, and disappeared behind the mountain, and his skills were extremely fast, and Zhang Axe Mountain knew that he was inferior to this person in light skills.
Zhao Sheng asked, "Tell me, should I listen to this person?"
Xue Bing said coldly: "Your Majesty, as the saying goes: 'Greed for more', our original intention was to return to Yunnan, and we should not make extraneous branches." It is better to go back the way you came, find the trade route, go around the circle, and return the way you came when your majesty came. ”
Goshawk said: "I always feel that what this old man says is true, he is really five hundred years old. This person is not close to a demon, and he should not be gullible. ”
Zhang Axe Mountain said: "Your Majesty, if we really return, in case we encounter another evil bull rushing in, it will be terrible." It's better for the old man to go back to explore the situation, if there is really a path, it's not too late to go back. ”
Zhao Sheng was stunned, his heart repeatedly pondered what Yin Bodhi said, gritted his teeth, and said: "Ladies and gentlemen, I'm really sorry, but I want to go to the northwest to take a look." What the old man said is very reasonable, as the saying goes, if I am not broken, I will not stand, if I am afraid, how can I achieve great things in the future? Brother Goshawk, didn't you say the same thing to me back then?"
His tone was quite hesitant, there was a discussion, and it was inconvenient for everyone to object, the goshawk proposed to go to explore the way, Zhao Sheng said: "No need, I always feel that this trip must be dangerous, and Zhu Aiqing does not have to take care of me." As soon as these words came out, he felt ridiculous, and secretly thought: "If I die for such a trivial matter, then I am also to blame, how can such a stupid person recover the Great Song Dynasty? ”
Empress De was a little scared, but Zhao Sheng had made up her mind, and she no longer cared about her, everyone had decided to discuss it, came out of the hiding place, and really walked along the crack, walked from noon to dusk, turned over a hill, and saw a huge jungle, green leaves like the sea, birds flocked, there was a green mountain in the forest, a big mansion can be seen on the mountain, floating clouds are around, green trees are like covers, occupy the entire mountain, like a walled city, not to mention can accommodate more than a thousand people.
Zhao Sheng was overjoyed and said, "That hidden Bodhi really didn't lie to us. ”
Empress De said timidly: "He may be an accomplice of the bandits, and he deliberately tricked us to come here." ”
Xiang'er smiled and said: "Queen Mother, don't be afraid, that hidden Bodhi kung fu is very high, how can he be in the same stream as ordinary bandits?"
Xue Binghan also said: "If he beats our mind, he doesn't have to lead us into the forest, the plains are hundreds of miles before, and there is a stone forest behind, if he chases with the thieves, we will never be able to get out." ”
Empress De was very timid, laughed a few times, and had to endure it bitterly.
Everyone walked down the mountain and came to the forest, Zhao Sheng said: "Since there are bandits in the forest, we have to be careful. I don't know what sect or sect is on the Zangyi Mountain, and where are the bandits in the forest?"
The Goshawk, the Axe Mountain, and the Snow Ice Cold all boasted of their knowledge, but they couldn't say why, and suddenly, they heard someone screaming in the forest, and someone shouted: "It's the Secret Snake Sword!"
Everyone hurriedly hurried over, shrunk behind the grass and trees, and looked with bated breath, but saw more than a dozen tigers and wolves, surrounding the four of them in the middle, but only one of them made a move, fighting with three of the four.
The man was holding a white bright long sword, fighting with the three people, the sword moves were flexible and weird, like a long snake, at this moment he had the upper hand, so that the opponent was defeated and retreated, the three people were all stained with blood, still gritted their teeth and insisted, the last of the four was a woman, about twenty years old, seeing the situation worrying, frowning, full of sadness.
