long moon smiles in the sky

The old house of the original family is located on the top of Lushan Mountain, and it takes a long time to go up the mountain. Zhan Zhao and Baiyutang walk, while enjoying the scenery of Lushan Mountain leisurely.

"This Lushan Mountain is really a scenic spot." Bai Yutang said with emotion.

"En." Zhan Zhao also nodded, and walked for a while, Zhan Zhao asked Bai Yutang, "Did you find it?"

Bai Yutang smiled and nodded, "He followed us not long after we went up the mountain."

Zhan Zhao raised his foot, picked up a stone on the ground, and shot it into the woods beside him... with a thud.

"oops."

A soft cry came out, and not long after, a young man got out from the bushes, he was hit by a stone on his shoulder, rubbed his shoulder and stared at Zhan Zhao, "Why are you beating someone?"

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang looked at each other. This boy looked sixteen or seventeen years old, thin, with fine features, but his skin was a bit dark.

"Little brother, why are you following us?" Zhan Zhao asked him.

"Who said I followed you?" The young man asked back, "Anyone can walk the road to Mount Lushan, and it's not your family who opened it!" After speaking, he swaggered ahead of the two and went up the mountain.

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang looked at each other and smiled, and continued walking up without saying anything.

As the boy walked, he looked back at Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang, and asked, "Are you two also here to invite relatives?"

Bai Yutang and Zhan Zhao smiled and said nothing, Zhan Zhao asked, "Little brother, are you here to invite relatives too?"

"Yes." The young man nodded, "I heard that Miss Yuan is beautiful and smart, so I want to come and see."

Bai Yutang laughed, and said, "How old are you, so you're here to recruit relatives?"

"What's the matter with recruiting relatives?" The young man said rather unconvinced, "I want to learn peerless martial arts! I will be number one in the world in the future."

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang looked at each other again, and asked the young man puzzled, "What does recruiting relatives have to do with learning peerless martial arts?"

The young man stared at Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang for a long time, and asked with wide eyes, "You two came here to recruit relatives without knowing anything?"

"What should we know?" Zhan Zhao asked puzzled.

"Mr. Yuan has the key to the coffin of the saber coffin." The young man said earnestly, "As long as you get the key to the coffin, you can take out the demon knife coffin, and follow the instructions of the coffin to find the cave full of peerless martial arts. Then you can learn peerless martial arts.

Bai Yutang frowned slightly, and said, "Who told you that such a thing happened?"

"My master and uncle heard it during the conversation, and it seemed that they had received a letter... But my master and uncle were delayed by something, and asked me to come and take a seat first, so I decided to start the martial arts contest and won, which surprised them ,Ha ha."

Zhan Zhao looked at the young man's posture and asked, "Which sect do you belong to?"

"I..." The young man swallowed the words again, looked suspiciously at Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang, and asked, "You two are the only ones asking me, I haven't asked you two yet, which sect do you belong to? "

Bai Yutang and Zhan Zhao looked at each other, and they both smiled without saying a word.

Seeing that the two of them were silent, the boy said, "Oh, I see, you two must belong to the small sect, right?"

Zhan Zhao thought for a while, then nodded, "Well, the sect is quite small, so the master accepted me as an apprentice."

Bai Yutang touched his chin and thought for a while, then said, "Me too."

"Oh... so you two are from the small sect, no wonder I'm embarrassed to say it." The young man nodded with a smile and said, "Let me tell you, I belong to the Hengshan sect, although I am the youngest of the three generations of disciples , but my master is the chief disciple of Yu Wanfang from Hengshan Town, and my master uncle is Yu Wanhai, the head of the Hengshan School. How about it, do you two want to join the Hengshan School? I will ask my master to accept you as apprentices? "

Both Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang couldn't laugh or cry, Bai Yutang touched his chin and said, "Well, speaking of Yu Wanhai...he is interested in such weird things, but do you believe such rumors?"

Xiaonian shrugged and said, "I don't know, Master Uncle and Master have important things to do, so they were delayed, but after reading the contents of the letter, they all said they wanted to come."

"Speaking of which, Yu Wanhai should be about the same age as old man Yuan, right? It's really inappropriate to come to a martial arts competition at this age to recruit relatives?" The Hengshan faction is also true. There are so many young and handsome young people in the faction who are not selected, but such a young boy is chosen to compete in martial arts to recruit relatives. It is really puzzling.

Zhan Zhao glanced at Bai Yutang, and suddenly said, "Ah... I seem to understand."

"Yeah." Bai Yutang nodded and smiled slightly, "I also understand."

"Hey, what charades are you two playing?" the young man asked, "You two haven't talked yet, do you want to join my Hengshan School?"

Zhan Zhao smiled and said, "We already have a master, so we can't ask for another teacher. Thank you for your kindness."

"That's a pity." The young man said with a smile, "My name is Chen Xing, just write the word "Xing Chen" upside down. If you two get to the mountain, because there is no sect to bully you, just report my name!" After finishing speaking, Smiling and speeding up, Bai Yutang scratched his head and looked at Zhan Zhao, "I said cat, why do I have the illusion that I have retired from the world for many years and don't know many things?"

Zhan Zhao is powerless, "If you say that, then I won't be more serious."

"Why didn't I get any news about such a big matter?" Bai Yutang asked blankly.

"I also don't know anything about it." Zhan Zhao said, "And according to what Chen Xing said just now, it seems that someone sent a letter to inform the various sects of this news."

"Let's talk about it." Bai Yutang said, "Even if you have the key to the knife coffin, so what? Isn't the knife still at the Crazy Sword Gate?"

"It seems that Mo Yixiao's escape with the moth is also related to this matter." Zhan Zhao said, "Otherwise, the timing is too coincidental."

Bai Yutang nodded, yawned, and said, "Oh, let's talk about it when the time comes, I hope the martial arts competition to recruit relatives is not too boring.

The two continued to walk up the mountain, and after a short while, they saw the courtyard of the original family's mansion. The seats had already been set up in front of the gate. It seemed that at least a few hundred tables would be set up tonight to invite those heroes of the world.

When Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang arrived at the gate, a general came up and asked them for invitations.

The two looked at each other, Bai Yutang looked up at the sky, and said to himself, I don't have an invitation card, Zhan Zhao scratched his head, because he lost the invitation card, originally thinking that he wouldn't come if Bai Yutang didn't come.

"Nephew!" At this time, I saw the old man running out of the gate in a hurry, sent the generals away, grabbed Bai Yutang and Zhan Zhao, and said, "Nephews, it's really great for you to come. Alright, come in, come in and sit in, come in and sit down!" As he said, he warmly greeted the two of them to enter the room.

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang were regarded as honored guests by the old man, and many martial arts people present whispered, after inquiring, they found out that it was Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang, and they were a little surprised.

The two were dragged into the inner hall by the old man, and invited to sit down in the inner house, and the old man courteously ordered tea to be served.

No matter how dull Zhan Zhao Bai Yutang was, he could still see something was wrong, and finally Zhan Zhao spoke first, "Master Yuan."

"Ah?" Old Master Yuan asked with a smile, "Nephew, what's the matter?"

Zhan Zhao took out a brocade box for the old man from the bundle, and said, "This is a congratulatory gift from my father. I sent it to Kaifeng a few days ago and asked me to bring it."

"Oh, brother Zhan is too polite." Old man Yuan laughed so hard that he couldn't close his mouth.

"Old man, you didn't send me an invitation card, why did you let me in instead of giving way when you saw me?" Bai Yutang asked.

"Uh..." Old Man Yuan scratched the corner of his mouth in embarrassment, and said, "Nephew, don't take offense. I didn't know it at first... I found out later..."

"Let me guess." Bai Yutang said, "You let this cat come to save your life, and you didn't call me because there were rumors in the world that I didn't get along with this cat. When cats fight, he has no time to take care of you, right?"

"Alas..." Old Master Yuan slapped his thigh, sighed, and said, "Fifth Bai Lord is really shrewd... Two virtuous nephews, you two can save the lives of my family."

Both Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang were taken aback, Zhan Zhao frowned and asked, "Old man, why did you say that?"

"Ah...Actually, it's my fault too." The old man shook his head and said, "You probably have heard that Mo Ji and I have been acquainted with each other for many years. The key was entrusted to me and I was asked to keep it safe. No one in the Jianghu knew about it, and my life was quite peaceful. Because this key is unusual, I had to find someone with strong martial arts to protect it , you also know, I used to know that a certain person's kung fu is too ordinary, and he gave birth to a girl, so I wanted to find a better son-in-law through martial arts... But I don't know that god damn spread the news, saying that I He has the key to the saber coffin, and he has made up a bunch of messy lies, such as cheats, magical skills, saying that if he can get the moth, he will be invincible in the world... Okay, look how many people from the rivers and lakes have come here, just this In a few days, at least fifteen thieves came in from my original home. I was afraid that one day my life and that of my whole family would be endangered. Oh, I was really afraid of making a big mess. No, I specially wrote an invitation to you and sent you I called you first." The old man Yuan said, looking at Zhan Zhao and then at Bai Yutang, "Don't take offense to Fifth Master Bai, it's not that I don't want to call you, old man, to be honest, if anyone looking for a son-in-law can't think of you, he will definitely miss you." Xinyan, but to be honest, neither you nor nephew Zhan Xian and my daughter can't compete with each other, and I have never had such a big dream. I just rely on my friendship with Mr. Zhan, so I want nephew Zhan Xian to rescue me. With him here, at least I don’t have to worry about dying for no apparent reason. Then I saw in the hotel that you two seem to have a good relationship, so I couldn’t be happier. With you two, who can touch my life? Ah, isn't it?"

After Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang finished listening, they both nodded helplessly—so that's what happened.
