Chongyang Palace welcomed its fourth headmaster. At the succession ceremony, Yin Zhiping took over the authority that Qiu Chuji had stepped down and officially assumed the position of the fourth-generation headmaster of the Quanzhen Sect.
During the lively and noisy ceremony, a young Taoist priest stood in the distance and quietly looked at the proud Yin Zhiping. He did not follow the disciples in saluting, but silently turned around and walked out of the mountain gate of Quanzhen Sect.
His departure did not attract anyone's attention, just like a pebble dropped into the waves, it disappeared without a trace with a pop.
The back mountain of Quanzhen Sect.
The young Taoist priest took off his robe and stood in front of a gray-haired old man in plain clothes. He bowed and saluted: "Uncle Master, I am here to say goodbye to you today."
The old man was stunned when he heard this and said, "Are you no longer with the Quanzhen Sect?"
The plainclothes Taoist priest shook his head: "The disciple has learned what he should learn. It will be of no benefit to him to stay any longer. It's time to go down the mountain for a walk."
The old man touched the gray beard on his chin, pondered for a while, and said: "It doesn't matter, you are extremely talented, and your innate skills are on the right track. With the help of Han Jade Bed, you have reached the level of your senior brother's skills when he was thirty years old.
.”
The old man was none other than Zhou Botong. Despite his playful nature, he could endure loneliness and was willing to stay on Mount Zhongnan for a long time just for the sake of the young man in front of him, Lu Guzhan.
After Dongzhang left, he called Lu Guzhan back to the ancient tomb. Every day he practiced, he would force Lu Guzhan to sit on the cold jade bed to abandon distracting thoughts and perform innate skills. With him teaching by his side, Lu Guzhan's
His skill can be said to be advancing by leaps and bounds. He has already mastered Jiuyin Canpian by heart, and the innate skills that are quite difficult to practice seem to have been tailor-made for him.
He has officially entered the martial arts a few days ago, and his pure innate inner strength is hidden and undisclosed. Under the guidance of the old naughty boy Zhou Botong, the power of Quanzhen swordsmanship Lu Guzhan can summon is much stronger than that of the Quanzhen Seven Sons. Here
There is an element of innate skill, and there is also an element of education from an old naughty child.
At this moment, no one among the three generations of disciples of the Quanzhen Sect can be his opponent, Lu Guzhan, not even the headmaster Yin Zhiping.
"Master-uncle Muzan, this disciple was just lucky enough to meet you and get your guidance, so I got on the right track in a daze."
Lu Guzhan, who is only about 20 years old, does not have the arrogance that he should have at this age, but has always remained humble. It is precisely because of this that Zhou Botong has always been very fond of him. Quanzhen is not good at teaching boxing and kicking, so Zhou Botong
So he taught Lu Guzhan his Great Demon Subduing Fist to make up for his shortcomings.
The latter lived up to expectations, mastering this boxing skill to the basics in just half a month, and was able to draw inferences from one example, which gave the old naughty boy a lot of surprises.
"Hey, you don't have to be modest. My old naughty boy said you are a genius and you are. With your understanding, you will catch up with that brat Dongzhang sooner or later. Let him wait and see."
The old naughty boy waved his hands and looked at the latter with his hands on his hips.
A glint flashed in Lu Guzhan's eyes when he heard this, and then he skipped the topic and said: "Master-uncle, this disciple first wants to travel to the north during this trip."
"The north is not a peaceful place now. Most of it has been taken over by the Mongols. But don't be too careful. This is the territory of the Beggar Clan. I know that little girl Huang Rong very well. If you need anything, I can
Tell me your name."
Zhou Botong pondered for a long time, and then said in a generous tone.
"Then I'll thank my uncle in advance."
Lu Guzhan bowed respectfully, his eyes flickering with his head lowered.
"Well, it's getting late, so you can go down the mountain."
After looking at the sky, Lu Guzhan bowed to Zhou Botong again and said, "I will take my leave now."
After speaking, Lu Guzhan turned around and walked down the mountain. But after taking a few steps, Zhou Botong behind him suddenly stopped him: "Remember, you must think twice before going out, because you represent the Quanzhen Sect."
, is the only successor of my senior brother."
When Lu Guzhan heard this, he paused on his feet, nodded expressionlessly, and then walked down the mountain. Soon, his figure disappeared among the vast mountains.
Outside Yiyang Station.
The quiet mountain road in the forest welcomed an uninvited guest. It was dark at this time. A postman was standing outside the post station and hung up a lantern, officially announcing the arrival of night.
At this time, the weather had become slightly cooler, and a gust of night wind blew leisurely, shaking the postman. He subconsciously raised his eyes and looked into the distance, and saw a short donkey carrying a man in black.
Come slowly to the inn.
The postman stood on tiptoe and took a look, and saw a thin man sitting astride the donkey. Every time the donkey walked a certain distance, the man would raise his head and take a sip of wine. At this moment, he was only a hundred meters away from the post station.
Soon, the visitor slowly came to the door of the post station with his donkey on his back. Under the curious eyes of the postman, he smiled and said: "Brother, is there any drink in the hotel?"
The postman first looked at the person who came, and saw that there was no trace of someone on the road on his face. Although his eyes were drooped, giving people a listless feeling, his half-closed eyes were unusually bright, and he looked back.
There is a long sword stuck diagonally on his waist. He must be a wandering wanderer.
Although the postman was a member of the government and would be a business editor in later generations, he did not dare to show off to these people in the world. Hearing this, he nodded: "Yes, how much do you want?"
"Just fill up my wine bottle."
Jumping off the donkey, the man handed the five-pound wine bottle to the postman: "Sorry to trouble you."
Perhaps because of the man's warm attitude, the postman also showed a slight smile on his face, waving his hand and saying: "It's okay, it's getting late now, and there is still room available in the hotel. Do you want to stay overnight?"
The inns of this era were not like those of later generations. They only delivered letters to the officials. The inns far away from the imperial city were like hotels. In addition to regular work, they also provided accommodation and food to passers-by to earn extra money. Of course, the charges were definitely higher than those in regular
The restaurant is more expensive.
Of course the county government knew about this, but it just turned a blind eye.
Hearing this, the man glanced at the twilight mountain forest, then looked at the plaque hanging with "Yiyang Station", and said with a smile: "Thank you, there is no need for accommodation. By the way, is Yiyang County just ahead?"
When the postman heard that there was no more business, a flash of disappointment flashed across his face. After hearing this, he paused, nodded and said, "Well, two more hills ahead is Yiyang County."
After saying that, he ignored the man and went straight inside to get a drink.
The bored man looked around, then reached out and took out a carrot from his arms, took a bite of it himself, and then handed it to the donkey beside him: "Eat it, there is still a long way to go."
Ignoring the donkey that was enjoying its meal, the man looked at the mountain trail in the distance and said to himself: "Yideng, who had been hiding from the world for a long time, broke into the White Camel Villa and fought with Ouyang Feng for a day and a night. Ha, it's interesting."
