The Record of Righteousness

On another note, at this time, Ouyang Shaoling brought his two apprentices, as well as Heba Yue's two apprentices Yang Shixiang and He Jiancheng, to travel through mountains and rivers.

The five of them shuttled through a forest, where the trees were left with only bare branches. A gust of cold wind blew, telling the bleakness brought by the cold winter.

Ouyang Shaoling walked in front, followed by Ouyang Hewu.

Ouyang Cheng and He Jiancheng carried a crude stretcher, and the person on the stretcher was Yang Shixiang, who had become a disabled person.

The dashing knight's clothes that Ouyang Hewu had worn before were gone. At this time, she was wrapped in a large gray and black cotton jacket, and her face was red from the cold.

"Master, how long will it take to get out of Shandong?"

Ouyang Shaoling stood in the wind and comforted:

"It's almost there, almost there."

"Remember the Xinghua Village we came to before? It's not far ahead."

"After Xinghua Village, walk another ten miles and you'll be out of Shandong."

Ouyang Hewu was a little dazed, frowning and asking:

"Xinghua Village?"

Ouyang Cheng saw her confused face and said:

"Oh, what's your memory? Xinghua Village is the place where the auntie who was bullied by several officials lived. The auntie also had a son and a daughter."

Ouyang Hewu A look of sudden enlightenment,

"Oh oh oh! I remember it."

"Yeah, after walking for so long, I finally have a place to stay."

"I can finally drink hot tea when I get to Xinghua Village."

Yang Shixiang, lying on a stretcher, was wrapped in a lot of tattered cotton jackets, wearing a tattered felt hat, and his lips were pale. He said weakly and with difficulty:

"Ahem, thank you for troubling my senior brother and brother Ouyang. Thanks to you two brothers for taking care of me along the way!"

"And thank you, uncle and little sister Ouyang."

Since my senior sister, junior brother and master passed away, the Taishan Sect was destroyed, and the White Lotus pseudo-dynasty was destroyed.

The two have experienced too many changes and too many life and death separations.

They understand that they used to be just a canary that was loved by others. Now they are no longer the pride of the sect. Without the protection of the sect and the master, they can only wander around the world.

Therefore, both of them learned to cherish the people in front of them, and put aside their past grudges. They no longer quarreled over trivial matters from time to time, and now they are as close as brothers.

He Jiancheng said jokingly:

"Shixiang, what are you talking about? If you keep being polite, I will leave you here."

Ouyang Cheng smiled innocently and enlightened him indifferently.

"Yes, Brother Yang, why are you being so polite?"

"For a master like me, carrying you and running every day is just to exercise my strength, which is not worth mentioning. In fact, I should be the one thanking you."

Ouyang Shaoling did not turn his head back, but walked ahead by himself, and said in a deep voice:

"My dear nephew, after returning to Tianshan and settling down, I will take you to Putuo Mountain and let that old guy take action. He will definitely be able to cure your old illness."

"Thank you very much, uncle."

"I have been close friends with your master for more than 40 years. You are the disciple of Heba Yue. I must ensure that you arrive at Tianshan safely no matter what."

He Jiancheng said sadly:

"Alas, the White Lotus Sect was pacified by the Ming Court, and I don't know how the master is doing."

Before the five of them said goodbye to Heba Yue, Heba Yue was already dying, barely hanging on to his breath and half a foot into the gate of hell. Even the Jade Emperor could not save him.

In fact, all five of them knew whether Heba Yue was alive or dead at this time, but they just didn't want to admit it verbally.

When Yang Shixiang thought of his master, his nose felt sour and his throat was numb. He wanted to cry out loud.

But he couldn't cry. He didn't want to be a canary anymore. He swallowed those weaknesses into his stomach.

"Ahem, when I recover from my illness, I must avenge my master!"

"And Sister Feixue, Sister Zhiruo, and Third Junior Brother, I must avenge these blood debts, and let that eunuch pay with blood!"

The topic became heavy again, and everyone seemed to have a huge stone on their hearts. Ouyang Hewu said:

"Brother Yang, Brother He, let me tell you, although our Tianshan Sword Sect is not as big as your Taishan Sect, but..."

Everyone talked and laughed along the way, looking forward to the scene of Tianshan. Yang Shixiang also opened his heart and talked with several people.

Since parting with Heba Yue, the five people have been heading west. Since the Tianshan Sword School is located in the northwest corner of the Great Ming Dynasty, going straight west is the shortest way. The five people set out from Dengzhou and passed through Laizhou, Qingzhou, Jinan and other prefectures.

However, they trekked all the way from Dengzhou to Jinan Prefecture on foot, and then went west to Dongchang Prefecture.

Dongchang Prefecture has been under full martial law and has heavy troops stationed. There are Ming troops in every town. Any people who intentionally or unintentionally flee to outside Shandong will be killed by the government troops.

There are many mountains and hills in southern Shandong, and it is probably not discovered by the Ming army if they leave Shandong.

The five people can only set out from Jinan and head south. After passing Yanzhou, they have arrived in Xuzhou.

Along the way, the five people slept in the open air, drank nectar in the morning, and ate coarse grains in the evening, and experienced the warmth and coldness of the world.

On the way, they encountered famine, drought, flood, man-made disaster, war, epidemic, bandits, mountain bandits, and Yang Shixiang, a burden. The five people hid and traveled slowly, so they had not left Shandong after the pseudo-dynasty was pacified by the Ming court.

Ouyang Hewu and Ouyang Cheng, who were born in the Tianshan rich families, did not complain at all, and they found joy in hardship.

Soon, everyone emerged from the barren forest, and a village appeared in sight not far away, with a wine flag fluttering in the cold wind in the distance.
