Ninety thousand miles of wind

"...What did Master Jiang think of?" Song Qiying couldn't help asking.

After thinking about it, Jiang You always felt that it was too coincidental; so he suppressed his doubts and said, "I just think he is too powerful, and I am afraid that he is not a simple character."

Song Qiying didn't think it was strange, and said: "If you are really talented, you can take it to the chief rudder to take the exam." So this matter is over, Jiang You arranges people, scouts around Zou Yuan and The North Bridge news is not a problem.

"You are by no means an ordinary person."

Ye Xiu, who slipped back from Jiang You's side, just opened the door when he was slapped down with a sentence.He narrowed his eyes, took out the slender copper pipe from his pocket and lit it slowly, before asking: "Why do you say that?"

Sitting in the middle of the room, An Wenyi's face was slightly pale, and there were still some unwashed blood stains on his hands:

"According to what you said, you are a guard guarding the gate of a rich family, but how many Xinglin disciples have you met? But today, you are fighting for your life-you are ready to wait for my one." First Aid Qianjinfang. Even if I don't catch up, you must know that even a moment at night can overcome the wound of the sword. This kind of courageous calculation must go through a big battle."

Ye Xiu smiled, neither admitting it nor denying it, he just said, "Then who do you think I am?"

"Seeing that you can fight head to head with Yu Guzhu, at least you are also a top-notch character in Tyranny's 'Mountain Cracks' Zheng Chengfeng, and Zhongcaotang's 'Individual Life' Xu Bin. It's a pity that the famous shield sword in the world is not as self-reliant as the Li faction, let alone Don't talk about infiltrating Tyranny incognito." An Wenyi sneered, "In the end, I only know one person who can match up to your level of skill and courage, and that is the undisciplined 'Jun Mo Xiao' who has become famous recently. .”

"As expected of Zhang Xinjie's private disciple. ——If I say I am, how will you treat me? Will you expose me to Master Jiang?"

Even though Ye Xiu said that, he looked like an old god.An Wenyi was silent for a moment, then said: "I want to know why you came here."

"I think you probably guessed it a little bit. Now I have a new owner who has built Xingxin Villa in Jiangzhou and hired me as the owner of the villa. Of course, I have to recruit as much as I can," Ye Xiu said. , "And everyone in the world knows that if you want to find Xinglin disciples, apart from going to Kunlun Mountain, you must come to Tyranny."

"So you are Excellent Era God of War?" An Wenyi asked back.

"good."

"Then you still dare to come to Tyranny. These two families have the deepest enmity. Do you really think that someone will leave with you?"

"Why not?" Ye Xiu raised his eyebrows, "—for example, you."

An Wenyi seemed to be jolted by something, but he quickly calmed down: "Why did I accept your invitation?"

"Based on your roomful of herbal medical books and your golden opportunity, it can be seen that you are always unwilling to be low. Now the world is in turmoil, if you don't have any idea of ​​making meritorious deeds, just stay at home peacefully. Why bother to come out and earn your life on the edge of a knife?"

An Wenyi smiled: "Then I'll just stay in Tyranny, why bother going to the old enemy's place?"

"It's because you have been a diner here for two years." Ye Xiu was not polite, "To be honest, from what I observed a few days ago, there are several Xinglin disciples who are better than you in this rudder alone. .”

An Wenyi's face darkened: "——you came to invite me again?"

Ye Xiu shook his head: "You are inexperienced. Although you can see the moment when you make up for it, you will lose sight of the other when the scene is chaotic. What's more, Tyranny Xinglin has the most disciples. You want to step up from this group of people. Climbing, easier said than done?"

When Ye Xiu mentioned the pain, An Wenyi bowed his head and remained silent.Ye Xiu wasn't in a hurry, he just sat there smoking his pipe slowly, not knowing what he was thinking about.After a cup of tea, the young Xinglin disciple said:

"If you go to Xingxin, you'll just run around every day for that little government bonus—"

"You underestimate us too." Ye Xiu simply cut off in the middle, "The first thing we need to do is to win a gold medal."

This time An Wenyi almost didn't jump up from the chair, he tried hard to calm down before regaining his usual expression: "Is this a joke?"

"Do you think I'm joking? Naturally, I'm serious."

"After that—"

"Return to Mount Hua for the sword test." Ye Xiu said, he couldn't help touching the Myriad Manifestation Umbrella behind his back, "—I've already made an appointment with someone."

In the end, An Wenyi couldn't make up his mind completely.He naturally knew that Ye Xiu's words hit the point, but the other side was too uncertain.Ye Xiu trusted him very much, and wrote him a letter directly, telling him to come directly to the door - he didn't care whether he thought it through or not.An Wenyi sat staring at the letter for a long time before remembering the patient in the room and hurriedly brewed medicine.

The corpse picker was still lying upright on the bed, watching him come over and turning his eyes slightly.An Wenyi fed him the medicine as usual, then felt his pulse, and said, "The congestion has almost dissipated, and he can move without hindrance tomorrow."

Mo Fan glanced at him and said, "Send it back to the prison?"

An Wenyi looked at him: "If you don't go out and don't make money, I can let you go."

Mo Fan shut his mouth tightly, not knowing what he was thinking.An Wenyi sighed, and asked: "I've heard people talk about you, and they always say that you are good at martial arts. Why don't you find a decent job, no matter what, it's better than doing something that makes people look down on you."

Mo Fan opened his eyes and stared at the ceiling, and said after a while: "...If you want to live, you have to do everything."

An Wenyi looked at him for a moment, and finally stood up and left the room without saying anything.Mo Fan stayed in the room alone and slowly watched the sky darken, and fell asleep in a daze.

In the end, it was An Wenyi who woke him up the next day—the young Xinglin disciple was merciless when pulling out the needle; Mo Fan would have scolded his mother if it wasn't for maintaining his usual taciturn image.Then An Wenyi picked him up smoothly, asked him to move his arms and legs, and threw a package into his arms: "Follow me."

Mo Fan stared at him.

"In the end, I sealed one of your acupoints. If you don't untie your kung fu, it will be ruined. Also, this technique is my own invention. Don't try to find someone else to untie it for you."

Mo Fan continued to stare at him.

"If you encounter someone who robs you on the road, please." An Wenyi said and walked out, and after taking two steps, he realized that Mo Fan hadn't followed, "...what are you still standing there for? I just want to let you go I paid for it myself, and it just so happened that today they all went out to chase after the Beiqiao sorcerer, and there was no one in the helm..." Seeing that Mo Fan was still standing still, he simply pulled Mo Fan's hand and walked out, "If you wait any longer I can't go anymore."

Mo Fan followed An Wenyi out of the city before asking, "Where are you going?"

An Wenyi thought of the letter hidden in the package, and smiled:

"—Jiangzhou Xingxin Villa."

...Afterwards, An Wenyi thought that he had really been too negligent.

He entered Tyranny by self-studying medical skills, but he stayed in the school all the time, and basically never left the rudder for ten miles, that's why he specifically teased Mo Fan before he left.Who knew that the corpse picker seemed to travel all over the world, but he couldn't even identify a black shop that mixed Mongolian sweat medicine into the wine.Also, if Mo Fan was really clever, why would he keep picking up corpses... With his hands cut off from the back, the two minions pushed and shoved all the way up the mountain, An Wenyi was just dizzy thinking about what was wrong. Yes, it was only when I was passing through the mountain gate that I concentrated my energy and looked up at the three cursive characters on it:

Shanglingang.

Then Xiao Luo pushed the two of them into the front hall: "Boss! We caught two more fat sheep!"

Suddenly entering the living room from under the sun, An Wenyi's eyes were dazed for a moment, and then he saw a fat big headed man sitting opposite him, with an iron headband, half beard, and his clothes were washed straight to the point of white, facing half of the table. Drinking meat and eating wine, when they saw them being pushed in, they didn't raise their eyes, just waved their hands: "Push it down, wait a few days to clean up and serve the wine with the heart."

The four minions looked at each other, then brought An Wenyi and the two out, and casually pushed them into the firewood room next to them, and the big chain was locked with a "crash".An Wenyi tried to grab the hemp rope a couple of times, but it became tighter and tighter. He felt a chill in his heart, and said, "This is over, and it has fallen into the hands of the man-eating King of the Mountain."

"...That Tuohun said it." Mo Fan said suddenly.

"how do you know?"

"His plate is mixed with vegetables, I can smell it."

An Wenyi didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "...Even if he was trying to scare us, the current situation is not good."

Mo Fan was silent for a moment, and said, "Unlock my acupoints."

"Hands are tied." An Wenyi said angrily.But after a while, I heard the sound of clothes behind me, and then felt a burst of heat near my wrist—it was Mo Fan who somehow moved over and gnawed on the hemp rope on his hand with his teeth.But at this time, the hemp rope had already been pulled into the flesh, and Mo Fan bit An Wenyi's hand several times, An Wenyi grinned in pain and did not dare to make a sound.After finally breaking the rope, he quickly turned around and untied the hemp rope and acupuncture points on Mo Fan's body: "—how to get out?"

Mo Fan raised his hand and wiped the blood from his mouth: "Wait."

An Wenyi nodded, and the two tied up the hemp rope on the ground, and sat against the wall again, waiting for the people in the village to deliver the food.It stands to reason that it was just after noon when the two were arrested, so it would take two or three hours before anyone came, but after a while, they heard footsteps outside, and a voice asked, "Is this where people are locked up?"

"Don't you tell me to pack it up and wait for the heart to drink."

"Just make fun of your boss, open it."

An Wenyi and Mo Fan looked at each other, and heard the rattling of iron chains outside.Mo Fan didn't wait for the door to be fully opened, and made a hand formula first, but it was divided into four parts and attacked the person who pushed the door.He heard a human voice: "Ninja?" A black light suddenly appeared in his hand, leading the chained live snake on the ground to wrap around the four Mo Fans.Mo Fan was hit by this blow, and three of the four avatars disappeared, and he himself changed his hand formula and disappeared from the spot out of thin air.

That Tutuo was one foot in and one foot out of the door, but he was not in a hurry, and stretched out his hand to make a fearless mark; when Mo Fan just emerged from the ground, he divided six beams of light into a hood, covering Mo Fan. The whole person is bound in the six-character barrier.An Wenyi felt terrible in his heart, but he didn't have a piece of talisman paper on his body, so he just picked up a piece of firewood from the side, and wanted to rush over, but he saw the tall Toutuo raised the letter at him and opened the letter: " ——You know that guy Ye Xiu?"

An Wenyi looked at Mo Fan who was trapped, and then at Toutuo, and after some consideration, he decided to tell the truth: "He asked me to go to work in his villa."

Toutuo looked him up and down: "...Well, it turned out to be a practitioner of apricot forest. It seems that guy is quite serious. So is this ninja?"

Even though Mo Fan was staring at him, An Wenyi decided to take a gamble: "We are going to Jiangzhou together."

"Hmph, that old guy has a good eye." Toutuo said, and with a wave of his hand, the Six-Character Barrier was closed, "I thought he would wash his hands after leaving Excellent Era, but I didn't expect to make a lot of noise in Jiangzhou Shuiqi, do you want to occupy the mountain as the king like the old man?"

An Wenyi grabbed Mo Fan first, and then asked respectfully, "Senior?"

"Old man Wei Chen, I'm afraid the boys don't know my name now, but I was a famous person in Lingnan back then." Toutuo stroked his beard, "I'm still old friends with your new Lord Ye."

An Wenyi didn't dare to answer, thinking that he didn't know whether this old friendship was good or bad.

"A few days ago he passed on the talisman and asked me to borrow it, and now I don't know what's going on..." Wei Chen said, frowning again, "Boy, where did you two come from?"

"Junior An Wenyi, he is Mo Fan, and he was working in Tyranny's Ezhou branch before."

"Oh?" Wei Chen's eyes widened suddenly, and he reached out to grab An Wenyi's shoulder, "Do you know what happened to Master Beiqiao?"

An Wenyi thought for a while: "When we left, people from Tyranny were still looking for him."

Wei Chen released him with a "cut" sound: "You are not as well-informed as this old man. I heard that Zhang Jiale is protecting the mage, and he already passed Ezhou and went west."

An Wenyi was taken aback by the news: "... Zhang Jiale? Senior was talking about the artifact master 'Dazzling Hundred Flowers'? I thought he had already retired—"

"Retiring and retiring, this is a major event in Baihua Valley, why doesn't he intervene? Hmph. Tyranny's gang doesn't know what's going on, and they intervene without knowing what's going on. Xiao Han, I don't blame him for being reckless. Husband, even that Zhang Xinjie can't tell the priority—"

"Old Wei, you're blaming others with your empty teeth," suddenly, a voice interjected, "Although Tyranny stopped by the edge of Yuezhou, but going to Beiqiao first is already far away from Baihua's people. gone."

Hearing this, Wei Chen turned around and saw Ye Xiu leisurely walking over with an umbrella on a sunny day. Although he was relieved, he still shouted, "Why are you alone? Even Sun Zheping Borrow it or not return it?"

"When will I be able to invite the sword maniac 'Luohuachao'? He obviously ran away after hearing the news from Zhang Jiale." Ye Xiu spread his hands, "I can't disturb their reunion after a long absence."

"Go, go, anything will taste bad in your mouth." Wei Chen gave him a decent punch, and his face seemed to relax a lot.

After looking around, An Wenyi could only guess that the two were probably old friends.At this time, Ye Xiu put away the umbrella and said to Wei Chen, "Old Wei, you are not kind. The two newcomers I found with great difficulty were led into the mountain by you like fat sheep. If I hadn't rushed here, Why don't you let Xiao An become a bandit with you?"

"Oh, how did I treat them badly under the old man's hands? I was also the master of the Blue Rain Pavilion back then, so why did I suffer a lot by following me?"

An Wenyi was really startled when he heard this.Although he didn't know much, Blue Rain Pavilion was considered to be the leader in Lingnan, and he even reached the top in the sword test, and this seemingly unattractive Toutuo actually said that he was the owner of Blue Rain Pavilion back then?Ye Xiu was not too polite: "Don't mention the bravery of the time. Even if you took the Blue Rain Pavilion back then, you were still defeated by me? Not to mention that you took the initiative to let the virtuous apprentice take the initiative to be a bandit on the mountain for so many years. , tsk tsk—"

Wei Chen is obviously familiar with Ye Xiu's ruthless way of speaking: "It's better than being kicked out by Excellent Era when you're old. If you want me to say that Tao Zhuang is the master, an old guy like you should be put in It is enshrined in Excellent Era's ancestral hall, why bother to release it to harm these juniors?"

"You're underestimating me by saying that. I'm the one who wants to go back to the sword test." Ye Xiu said.

Wei Chen rarely got stuck for a moment before he said, "...Are you serious?"

"I've made an appointment with someone." Ye Xiu smiled slightly and said, "—you, one or two of you came to ask me this."

"Even if you build a mountain villa and have a disciple, Ke Qing, you will still lose a gold medal for getting started."

"I've already thought about this point." Ye Xiu suppressed his smile, "——it's just a door-to-door kick."

Wei Chen's eyes stared like copper bells for a moment: "I suddenly feel that you are talking nonsense."

Ye Xiu shook his head, pulled Wei Chen over and muttered for a long time.Wei Chen's complexion changed several times, and beads of sweat stood out on his forehead, before he finally said, "...Maybe, it's really feasible..."

"If you come here too, I can be more confident." Ye Xiu began to fumble for the pipe from his arms again.

"...You made this idea from the beginning?"

Ye Xiu pointed the pipe at Wei Chen's waist magic weapon: "I just came here to see you, to comfort you and lose a general under your command; however, I changed my mind when I saw your Vajra Subduing Demon Pestle."

"Boy's eyes are sharp." Wei Chen said, but he reached out and pulled out the Vajra Subduing Demon Pestle and held it in his hand.An Wenyi stared at it, and saw that it was densely carved with Tantric runes, and a layer of precious light was hidden in the hand held by Toutuo—he couldn't see how much blessings and prayers were melted into it, but he knew that it didn't take five or six years of hard work. It is absolutely impossible to do this.

"I know you don't want this guy to be buried on this loess hill with you in such an unknown way." Ye Xiu said in dismay, "How about it? Go to Xingxin with me?"

"Nonsense, there are a hundred and eighty people in my village, and you speak lightly when you touch your lips." Wei Chen said as he fastened the magic weapon again, a sharp light flashed in his eyes.Ye Xiu knew that he was tempted, so he didn't rush him, so he answered Wei Chen's call and went to the front hall to have a drink together.

All of a sudden, Shanglingang was like a New Year's Eve, and all the minions became lively, regardless of whether Ye Xiu and the three could drink or not, they took turns to pay their respects.Ye Xiu pushed An Wenyi out - although the private brew on the mountain was as weak as the water, he couldn't help the other party's crowd, and when the banquet was halfway lively, disciple Xinglin slipped out to the ground.Ye Xiu told Mo Fan to send him to the guest room first, then he simply jumped on the chair and started guessing punches with Wei Chen.

Mo Fan supported the drowsy An Wenyi, and found the guest room under the guidance of the minions. When he opened the door, he saw the two people's parcels on the bed.He laid the young man flat on the bed first, then opened the package and took two copper coins and put them in his arms, then walked out of the house lightly.At this time, the excitement subsided, the sky was about to get dark, and the night wind on the mountain became icy cold.He stopped involuntarily, and heard the voices of the people in the front hall laughing and applauding vaguely, he paused for a moment before taking another step.

After Tyranny was captured, his original ninja sword had long disappeared.It’s okay to search in the stockade now, but I’m afraid that someone will find it if it’s delayed——Mo Fan gritted his teeth and headed down the mountain when he thought of this.

But after walking a few steps, I heard someone say:

"If Xiao An knows that you have left like this, she must think you are ungrateful."

Mo Fan frowned, and without looking at Ye Xiu, he quickened his pace and wanted to walk over.

He was only going to ignore what the other party said - but he didn't expect that Ye Xiu didn't intend to talk nonsense with him at all.

The next day, An Wenyi got up with his head that seemed to have been split by someone. First he saw the untouched package next to the pillow, and then he saw Mo Fan who was practicing One Finger Zen on the opposite side.He groaned for a while, performed a heart-clearing formula for himself and regained his sanity before asking: "Do ninjas practice backwards?"

Mo Fan didn't speak, he turned over and stood up again, his mouth was tighter than ever before.This time his face fell into the light, and An Wenyi was startled: "——what's wrong with your face? Did someone beat you?"

Mo Fan gave him a cold look, shook his head and left.

The second monk Anwen Yizhang couldn't figure it out, and he was stunned for a while before calling: "Hey, parcel!"

Mo Fan pushed the door halfway, and when he heard these two words, he froze in place.An Wenyi realized later that the other party's acupoints had been unlocked, as if he didn't owe him anything anymore, and was thinking about saying this, when he saw Mo Fan walking back with a few big strides, carrying the package on his shoulders with an indomitable attitude. The momentum went out.

An Wenyi thought for a while, and understood what had happened, he couldn't help laughing, and followed him out with all his clothes on.

At this moment, Ye Xiu was waiting for them at the door—he somehow managed to escape the toast yesterday, and he woke up earlier than everyone else in Shanglin Gang: "Yo, Xiao An looks good."

"It's a blessing that Master Tuoye caught me to block the wine." An Wenyi rolled his eyes at him.

"Xiao An, you have a bright future. I'm giving you a chance to practice." Ye Xiu boasted boldly, "—let's go, hurry up and reach Jiangzhou in one day."

"Aren't you saying goodbye to Senior Wei?" An Wenyi asked.

"Farewell, see you again in two days." Ye Xiu said, leading the way down the mountain.An Wenyi glanced at the village that was still in the silence of the morning, and followed Ye Xiu down the mountain with Mo Fan.Without talking all the way, the three of them rode forward, and they arrived at the boundary of Jiangzhou before the sunset.Ye Xiu was familiar with the road and led them to take shortcuts and cross Zhuangzi and the bridge, and finally raised his horsewhip and pointed: "It's right in front."

An Wenyi was really tired after riding a horse for a whole day, but he was refreshed after hearing this, and looked forward - he saw a huge house surrounded by hills and bushes, with white walls and black tiles. Smoke rises from the red twilight.Ye Xiu sighed: "It's here." With his feet on the horse's belly, he galloped away first.An Wenyi and Mo Fan followed closely, and when they got closer, they saw a young man hammering nails in front of the door. Hearing the sound of horseshoes, he jumped down: "Senior, you are back."

Ye Xiu recognized this person: "Little Qiao, are you here too?"

"Well, I told the hall master that day, and then I left the Chinese herbal hall." The young man who spoke was Qiao Yifan, who had been asking Ye Xiu for advice before, "From then on, everything will depend on seniors."

Ye Xiu nodded, not being polite to him; he only led An Wenyi and Mo Fan over, "This is my new guest... Hey, where's the proprietress?"

At this time, I saw Chen Guo rushing out in a hurry: "Little Qiao, how are you nailing——Ye Xiu! You still know how to come back. I told you before that you must come back before the auspicious day, and you will give it to me." Did I forget to go beyond cloud nine?"

Ye Xiu laughed dryly: "...Everyone is here, so let's not pursue it?"

"That's right, you go in quickly...Is this the Xinglin disciple you hired?" Chen Guo asked while stepping in.Ye Xiu then introduced An Wenyi and Mo Fan, and Chen Guo clasped his fists and said "I have admired him for a long time".A group of five people walked in, and Chen Guo even introduced the various parts of the villa, and then ordered the servants to hold a welcome banquet, and she had some demeanor of the owner in terms of being busy.When everyone walked to the side of the martial arts arena, they saw Tang Rou Baozi fighting with each other with their belongings.Ye Xiu stopped to look at it for a moment, then nodded, "Both of them have made progress, so it can be seen that they are not slacking off."

"How can Xiao Tang be lazy, I'm only worried that she has practiced hard enough." Chen Guo said.

At this time, Mo Fan looked at the buns on the stage, his face was completely black.He didn't make a sound, just picked up a ninja knife similar to a short knife from the weapon shelf next to him, and rushed into the arena to attack Baozi.Baozi let out a "yo": "Are you new here?"

Mo Fan didn't answer him, and he played with the dagger in his hand like a ghost.Steamed Bun also got serious, picking up tricks and dismantling them with bricks.Tang Rou, who was just halfway through the fight, couldn't be reconciled, she stepped into the fray with her spear straightened out—one back and forth, the three of them fought like a revolving lantern.

The rest of the people were watching the battle, Ye Xiu did not forget to explain the advantages and disadvantages of some moves to Qiao An, and suddenly said in the middle, "Hey, where is Luo Ji?"

"I'm tired of Feng Shui a few days ago, and I have been hiding in the house for two or three days." Chen Guo said indifferently, seeing Tang Rou force the two of them back with a spear, she quickly cheered.

At this time, Luo Ji, who was locked in the room alone, had a thin layer of sweat on his forehead, and his subordinates did not stop for a moment, quickly calculating on the white paper.The waste paper had been scattered everywhere, but he ignored it completely and only focused on the changes in the numbers under his hand.

——The way of heaven is inhumane, and treats everything as a straw dog.But if there is still a glimmer of life, no matter how humble a dog is, even an ant will still have to fight——

Luo Ji flickered for a moment, but his calculations didn't stop.In order to calculate the result, he only closed his eyes for less than a moment for three days and two nights, but at this moment he was so nervous that his palms were sweating, and he didn't feel sleepy at all.In the end, he wrote to the end of the scroll and reached for the paper again, but it was gone.When he got angry, he simply threw away the scroll, covered it with thick ink and wrote on the table-one life is two, two is three, three is all things; Xiangliangyi Taiji Wuji——

He wrote down with heavy strokes, threw away the pen, and stared at the line in a daze.

"Sure enough...the variable is here."

After Luo Ji muttered these words, he took two steps back and sat on the bed, only to see the papers all over the room.He thought that he had to pack it up first, so that no one could find a way to explain it to others after seeing it, and he would get involved next time, so it would be impossible to be more accurate next time, but he couldn't help but endured it for too long. Fell asleep on the bed.

"Luo Ji, Luo Ji, the proprietress asked you to eat..." Tang Rou called him from outside, but she didn't hear an answer after listening for a long time, so she opened the door and came in, startled.Seeing Luo Ji half-slumped on the bed, she tiptoed over the pile of papers and pushed him, seeing that he was really asleep, she carried him to the bed, put the quilt on him, and walked away lightly.

But after she closed the door, the words on the drafts all over the room glowed white for a moment, fluttering away from the paper like countless phosphorous fires, and disappeared after flashing twice in the air.In the end, there was only a line of calligraphy written in ink and pen on the table; but Luo Ji wrote four large characters on the side:

The top of Mount Huashan.
