The prince is very fierce

The autumn rain didn't stop until early in the morning. After all, the three people in the ruined temple met for the first time, so they were still wary and basically didn't sleep soundly. When the sky turned bright and the heavy rain stopped, Xu Buling put away the blanket, took Nightingale and Zhong Jiu left the ruined temple.

Xu Buling brought the horse over, hung the long spear on the gun hook, got on the horse and continued riding towards the south.

Zhong Jiu was wearing a skirt, sitting sideways on the red horse, walking in front of Nightingale. Under the morning light, the skin looks snow-white and crystal clear, a bit dreamy but not sickly. It is a very healthy baby white, like fresh and juicy tofu.

Nightingale had been staying in the library since she was a child and didn't get much exposure to the sun. Her face was already very white. After a few comparisons, she couldn't help but admire:

"If it is increased by one point, it is too long; if it is reduced by one point, it is too short; if it is powdered, it will be too white; if it is applied with vermilion, it will be too red. The eyebrows are like green feathers, the muscles are like white snow; the waist is like a bunch of silk, and the teeth are like shells. Sister Zhong, are you following this? What does he look like in the book? "

Zhong Jiu pursed his lips and smiled: "People are raised, and they are properly warmed and nourished with medicinal foods and other foods. As long as you persevere, you will not look old even when you are sixty years old."

Nightingale carefully wrote it down, thought for a moment, and then asked doubtfully: "With Sister Zhong's appearance, she will definitely be one of the eight beauties. Why haven't I heard of your name? Could it be that you are already married?"

Zhong Jiu shook his head: "It's just a false reputation. Fighting for fame and wealth is not conducive to self-cultivation. I am obsessed with medicine and have never paid attention to these things."

"oh……"

Nightingale nodded in a learned manner.

After Xu Buling listened for a long time, he couldn't help but feel a bit like making friends with this woman with "good looks and good looks". Let's not talk about the issue of "not engaging in sexual activities". If you really know how to maintain your health and beauty, Aunt Lu will definitely treat her as a treasure.

The autumn wind swept through the mountains and forests, and the three horses galloped on the deserted official road. They chatted about trivial things along the way, and gradually they became familiar with them.

In the afternoon, the three of them arrived near Jinsi Gorge, a hundred miles away.

The scenery of Jinsi Gorge is beautiful, and more and more people are visiting in autumn. There are many Taoist temples built on the mountain, and pilgrims and people from all walks of life can be seen everywhere on the road.

Zhong Jiu took a curtain hat from the side of the horse and put it on his head. Xu Buling just thought it was because of his outstanding appearance and didn't care.

After arriving at Jinsi Gorge, Zhong Jiu drove his horse ahead, walking on the path beside the dense forest of the mountain stream, walking more than five miles into the mountain, and came to the bottom of an unremarkable hill.

There is a stream at the foot of the mountain, which is covered with bamboo. There is no road up the mountain, and the surrounding area is deserted. If someone hadn't led the way, it would be impossible to imagine that there were people living up there.

Zhong Jiu jumped off the horse, stood by the road, raised his finger and pointed to the place with the thickest bamboo on the mountain:

"This is Shi Yanzhai, where Master Qingxu lives in seclusion. Wudang and I have some small festivals, so we won't go up there. Don't tell me, sir, that I brought you here."

Xu Buling raised his eyes and took a look. The journey was not too far. In order to prevent an ambush from above, he took a long branch from the side of the horse and climbed up through the rugged and roadless mountains with Nightingale.

Zhong Jiu tied the horse to the side of the road, walked to the pool in the valley, sat down on the big rock, and gently raised his hand. The little sparrows mingling with the birds in the sky flew up to the mountains chirping... ——

If the mountain is not high, it will be famous if there are immortals; if the water is not deep, if there is a dragon, it will be spiritual.

As a famous family in the world, Wudang Mountain has numerous experts. There is an endless stream of pilgrims going up and down the mountain every day, and there are countless stupid young people who come here to look for famous teachers.

Jianghu people searched across the mountains and ridges, and many hermits hiding in Wudang Mountain were dug out at regular intervals. As time went by, the hermits who devoted themselves to spiritual practice became more and more remote, and gradually dispersed into the mountains and fields around Wudang.

Shiyan Village in Jinsi Gorge is rumored to be the place where a sage from Wudang attained enlightenment. Many people have heard of this place, but few people know where it really is, and those who can find it are definitely not ordinary people.

At dusk, the red sun hangs on the mountains in the west.

A small bamboo building was built among the dense bamboo forest on the mountain. Next to it was a vegetable garden, surrounded by a fence. Except that the place was too remote, it was no different from an ordinary farmyard.

It was getting late, and there was a recliner on the ground outside the bamboo building. The real man Qingxu, dressed in an old Taoist robe, was holding a teapot in his hand, swaying with his eyes closed. If he hadn't picked up the teapot from time to time and took a sip, he would still have looked at it. Thought he was dead.

There is a small bench next to the recliner. Lin Yusong, the young head of Hutou Mountain in Xiangyang, a wealthy family in Chudi, is sitting on the bench and is talking respectfully:

"...Old immortal, I am one generation behind Daochang Chen. It is against the rules of the world to come to your door and declare a challenge. There are already six out of ten military commanders. I only have one military commander in the great Chu. If we don't hurry up, all of us will be killed. Being robbed by other places is a big deal..."

As the saying goes, "Only Chu has talent", and good swordsmanship is popular. It is also located in the hinterland of the Central Plains. It has been the center of the world since ancient times.

The Lin family of Hutou Mountain and the Cao family of Junshan Island are all great families with a long history. In the past, when the great Qi judged the heroes of the world, half of them were from the Chu land, and the other half was shared by the people of the world. The ancestors of the Lin family also came from There are strange people who want to dominate the world.

Following the "iron eagle hunting" in the court, all the aristocratic families were affected. The Cao family directly sealed the sword and cut off the inheritance. The Lin family sought refuge with the King of Chu. Naturally, they were restrained in their behavior and did not dare to be too public. Their reputation gradually gradually In decline, when the younger generation talks about gun users, they almost forget about the Lin family in Hutoushan just by knowing about Liuhemen Xue Chengzhi and Beijiang Chen Chong.

Now the court is going to select ten martial champions. The Lin family under the King of Chu naturally has no chance to be personally awarded by the imperial pen, and they are embarrassed to be shameless like the Tang family in Youzhou, picking a soft persimmon. If you want to get the real martial champion, you have to find a recognized master in the martial arts world to fight and prove your strength, and then you can go to the capital to receive the plaque of the martial champion.

Lin Yusong is in his early twenties. His talent has surpassed his father, but according to the martial arts generation, he should be of the same generation as Xu Buling and Mei Qusheng.

Finding a martial arts bandit like Zhu Liu to fight to prove your strength may result in your family being wiped out if you are not careful. It is a taboo to make enemies casually; running to challenge an elder, it is not shameful if you lose, but if you win, the other party's reputation will be ruined. No matter whether you win or lose, you owe the other party a big favor.

In the martial arts world, people still pay attention to human relationships. If you don't give enough face and money, why should others give you a reputation?

Lin Yusong is from Chu, so he has close ties with Wudang Mountain. After searching for a long time, he finally came to Wudang Mountain, thinking of asking Chen Daozi's master to be the notary public, so that he and Chen Daozi can fight in the name of a test. He certainly can't beat Wudang's killing god Chen Daozi, but he is confident that he can hold out for ten moves, and with the Wudang master standing by to be fair, he can tell others about it with both face and substance, and the people in the world will also be convinced.

Unfortunately, Lin Yusong had been saying good things in Shiyan Village for three or four days, but the old immortal in front of him looked like he had nothing to do with it. He kept saying the same thing:

"In the martial arts world, there is no second to none. Just go and fight with the Taoist priest. If you can win, it's a skill. If you can't, the Taoist priest won't kill you. It's pointless to go through so many twists and turns."

"Old immortal, I'm a junior. I can't go to Wudang Mountain with a gun to ask Taoist Master Chen to come out."

"Then go back and hone your skills for another ten years. When you can't hold it back anymore and dare to go to Wudang Mountain with a gun to beat up the Taoist priest, , this Wu Kui is legitimate. "

"Alas, old immortal, don't joke. The order of seniority should not be messed up. Even if I am eighty years old, I will not be disrespectful to my elders... I heard that Chen Chong went to Tianshan alone to worship the moon platform. If nothing unexpected happens, he will definitely be the next Wu Kui. In our Chu area, only Taoist Chen is the leader. The people in the martial arts world are stabbing us in the back..."

"Yusong, your mouth is suitable for being a monk chanting sutras... If a guest comes, you can drive him out, and I will help you say something."

Qingxu Zhenren raised his hand and shook it without opening his eyes.

Lin Yusong saw that the old Taoist finally gave in, and his eyes lit up. He listened attentively and found that someone had indeed entered the bamboo forest. He thought it was just a fly from the martial arts world who came to bother the elders, so he stood up and pulled out a spear from the fence:

"Don't worry, old immortal, I will be back soon. The people in the martial arts world must keep their words. Don't bluff me..."

As he said that, he ran into the dense bamboo forest.

Qingxu Zhenren opened his eyes, put down the teapot and shook his head, then stood up and slowly walked into the bamboo building, and began to search through the boxes and cabinets for medicine for injuries...
