After the new rain in the empty mountains, the weather is late in autumn.
The stars hang down over the vast plains, and the moon surges over the mighty river.
Although the two lines of the poem are a bit crooked, they are perfectly suitable to describe the current situation.
Wilderness, after rain, riverside, rapids.
Zhao Min appeared here and asked: "What is this place?"
Zheng Xie shrugged and said, "This should be the Yangtze River. I don't know the specific location."
"This is a real wandering. Find someone to ask." Zhao Min took a deep breath. The air after the rain was fresh and cool, which made people feel refreshed.
The ancient history of the world proves that the origin of all human beings originated from rivers.
The two stepped on the soft and moist soil and walked upstream along the river, sweet and comfortable, like young lovers on a date.
"There is someone in the river."
Under the golden moonlight, Zheng Xie looked towards the river and suddenly saw a white figure floating in the river.
Zhao Min said: "It seems that there are three people together. Let's fish them up and have a look."
Zheng Xie nodded, stepped into the water, swung the black iron chain, wrapped it around the waist of the man in white, and pulled him to the shore.
Among the three people, the one wearing white clothes is a beautiful woman with a dignified and beautiful appearance, elegant and refined, and not like any mortal creature in the world. She has passed out and her body is stiff and stiff.
The other two were a pair of down-and-out young men aged sixteen or seventeen. After swimming up and down in the river for a long time, they were exhausted and shapeless on the bank of the river, too lazy to even turn over.
Zhao Min put his hand in front of the woman in white's nose, then pressed her wrist for pulse, and said: "This person is still breathing, but he seems to have suffered serious internal injuries, and his pulse is very weak."
Zheng Xie looked at it carefully and said: "This is a very advanced turtle breath healing technique. Now her six senses are closed. Her inner breathing is running on its own, and she is in a state of seclusion as described by Taoism. In this state,
Her internal injuries can be recovered ten times faster, and she will wake up in more than an hour."
Zhao Min glanced at her in surprise and said, "I never expected that the first person I met would have such a wonderful and wonderful secret technique."
At this time, the two teenagers had already sat up. One of them said: "Thank you to the two benefactors for the rescue, otherwise the three of us would have died."
Zhao Min secretly wondered why these two young men were drifting on the river with a woman in white who was highly skilled in martial arts and asked, "Who are you?"
The man said: "My name is Yu Wenzhong, and his name is Yu Wenling."
Zhao Min thought to himself that this was probably a fake name, and asked again: "Where is this place?"
"Yangzhou." "Danyang." the two said.
Zhao Min hummed: "You two guys are looking for death. If you tell another lie, I will throw you back into the river."
Yu Wenzhong said: "My benefactor, please don't do it! Let me tell you, this is between Danyang and Yangzhou. The two of us drank water in the river for a long time, and we don't know whether this is the boundary of Yangzhou or Danyang."
Zhao Min asked some more questions, and the two people's answers were specious, but there was some truth in them, making people more confused.
Zheng She's heart moved, and his eyes shone brightly. He looked back and forth at the two people, as if he wanted to see through their hearts and minds.
"What has this dear friend been looking at us for?" The two of them said in a formal tone, feeling a little uncomfortable when he looked at us.
Zheng Xie said: "If I guess correctly, your name should be Kou Zhong, and your name should be Xu Ziling."
The two teenagers looked at each other, shouted in unison, and ran away.
It's just that they don't understand martial arts at all, and they have been soaking in the river for a long time. How can they run fast?
Zheng Xie raised his hand and flicked it, and the black iron chain wrapped around Xu Ziling's neck, pulling him back and saying at the same time: "Stop."
Kou Zhong stopped immediately.
Xu Ziling felt it was difficult to breathe and shouted: "Young Master Zhong, run quickly. Remember to avenge me in the future."
Zheng Xie said calmly and calmly: "If you take another step, I will strangle him to death. The "Secret of Immortality" should be with you, whether you want a brother or the "Secret of Immortality", you choose one."
Kou Zhong came back very bachelor, presented the treasure book with both hands, and said: "Give our brothers a happy life!"
Zheng Shedao: "What do I want to do with your lives?"
Kou Zhong said in surprise: "Aren't you from Yu Wenji?"
"No need to pretend to be stupid, you should have noticed that if we had anything to do with Yu Wenhuaji, we would have arrested you to collect the reward." Zheng She laughed, flicked his wrist, and retracted the black iron chain.
Xu Ziling coughed several times and said, "Mr. Zhong, why are you back?"
"Don't worry, Mr. Ling. I think these two kind-hearted eldest brothers and beautiful sisters are definitely not bad people. They will never kill us two weaklings." Kou Zhong winked and said, sincerely, it's not that I don't want to run away.
, it is impossible to run away.
Xu Ziling said loudly: "Young Master Zhong is right. If he were a bad guy, he wouldn't have saved us before."
Zheng Xie didn't care that they were acting together on the side, he just spread out "Secret of Immortality" and browsed it by the moonlight.
Zhao Min leaned over, curiously looked at the seven meridian diagrams in the book, and said, "Is this a martial arts secret?"
Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling stopped talking at the same time, their ears quickly perked up.
Zheng Xie said: "Yes, and it is not an ordinary martial arts secret book. "The Secret of Immortality" is a Taoist treasure book. It is said that it was written by Guang Chengzi, the teacher of the ancient Yellow Emperor, in oracle bone inscriptions. It is by no means inferior to any martial arts we know."
Zhao Min was surprised: "Is it really so magical?"
Zheng Xie said: "Just by looking at this book, I can see that the rumors are true. Even if it was not written by the emperor's master Guangchengzi, it was created by an ancient great master with magical powers that penetrated the heavens and the earth."
Then he sighed and said: "It's a pity that no one has practiced this book since it was written as a seal, so it is regarded as an ordinary health-preserving Taoist scripture."
Zhao Min said: "Do you know how to practice?"
But this time Zheng Xie shook his head and said: "I only know that if you want to practice the skills of "The Secret of Immortality", you need great opportunities and extremely high understanding, both of which are indispensable."
Zhao Minqi said: "Even you don't know."
Zheng She said: "I'm not a god, so it's not strange if I don't know. However, even if I can't practice it, it's good to learn from it."
Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling couldn't help but feel disappointed, but quickly cheered up. They secretly thought that if others can't do it, we may not be able to do it either.
Zheng Xie memorized the seven meridian diagrams in his mind and began to read the small words in the book. These were the insights left by the previous owners of the "Secret of Immortality". All of them were great masters of martial arts, and they left only a few words.
It will be enough for future generations to use for a lifetime.
One word of truth can save thousands of false words. Sometimes one word can save others ten years of hard work.
Zheng Xie kept every word in the book in mind and understood it carefully.
Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling worked hard all day. They were sleepy, tired and hungry. They lay down bored and fell asleep soon.
Zhao Min looked at it for a moment, then nestled in Zheng She's arms and closed her eyes to rest.
More than an hour later, Zheng Xie closed the book and a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, as if he had gained something.
The woman in white's breathing suddenly became heavier and her eyes suddenly opened.
"Girl, you're awake." Zheng Xie said calmly.
The woman in white is of course Fu Junma, the first disciple of Master Yijian, Fu Cailin. She sat up, looked at her surroundings, looked at Zheng She with her phoenix eyes, and said, "Who are you?"
Zheng Xie smiled and said: "Wanderer."
Fu Junma glanced at the Yitian Sword in his hand and said, "Swordsman?"
Zheng Xie shook his head and said, "I play occasionally."
Fu Junma frowned. In the hearts of those who wield swords, swords are sacred. This careless attitude made her very contemptuous. She was not used to staying with Han people, so she got up and left.
Zheng She said: "I saved your life. It would be too rude to leave without saying thank you."
Fu Junma kept walking and said, "I don't need your help at all."
Zheng She said: "No thanks, but I still have a message to send you. China is too dangerous, so I'd better go back to Goryeo."
Fu Junma suddenly looked back, pressed her hand on the hilt of the sword. Her eyes were like lightning, and she said: "You save me once, and I will spare you once. I hope you won't let me touch you again next time."
After saying that, he walked through the forest and entered.
Zhao Min laughed happily and said: "Master Zheng also eats turtles sometimes."
Zheng Xie said: "Do you really think I am a lover?"
Zhao Min nodded heavily and said: "At least he is a flower picker."
The night passed. The clouds cleared and the sun rose. The weather cleared.
Kou Zhong woke up from hunger, rubbed his growling stomach, and said, "Young Master Ling, we are not dead."
Xu Ziling asked: "Does the stomach of a dead person still growl?"
Kou Zhong said with a bitter face: "If we don't fill our stomachs, we will starve to death if we are not killed by male and female thieves. When did they leave?"
Xu Ziling said: "I didn't know that when I woke up, we were the only ones left."
Kou Zhong shouted: "It's broken, he took away our secret book."
Xu Ziling raised the book in his hand and said, "Here, here it is."
"It's okay, it's okay." Kou Zhong took the "Secret of Immortality", rolled his eyes, and wondered: "Why did they leave the secret book behind? Is it true that the secret book is fake? He was lying to us yesterday?"
Xu Ziling said: "What do we have to deceive? I don't know why he left the secret book. Maybe this is a chance."
Kou Zhong put the "Secret of Immortality" in his pocket and said: "Now we should find a way to offer sacrifices to the Five Zang Temple, otherwise we will have to go to the underworld to find an opportunity."
…
Danyang City.
Zheng Xie and Zhao Min walked around the pier, and the westbound fleets turned around and sent the goods overland for customs.
All fleets traveling from north to south gather here.
Countless people who wanted to leave the ship to sail south were just as disappointed as they were.
Zhao Min said: "I heard that Li Zitong's rebel army from the East China Sea crossed the Huai River and fought with the Sui army in the Liyang area. These merchants are waiting and watching, and do not dare to go into the water easily. Now only the fleet from the west is coming. This
But the fleet on the other side can't get through. The waterway is impassable, so if you want to go to Jiujiang, you can only go by land."
Zheng She said: "Don't worry, not all fleets are afraid of trouble, naturally some people dare to go west."
Zhao Min said: "Then let's wait here?"
Zheng Xie said: "No, let's go back to the inn first."
When he arrived at the inn, Zheng Xie called the waiter, handed him a piece of silver, and said: "Please help me keep an eye on my friend. When the Song clan's fleet arrives, they will notify me. If you miss my important event, I will definitely ask you to
Little life."
"Don't worry, sir. My cousin is at the dock to look at the goods. He will definitely not miss your important event."
The waiter nodded and bowed, vowing to do so.
In the afternoon of the next day, Song clan's fleet arrived at Danyang Pier. (To be continued...)
